Canon Vixia HF r10
How do I download movies from this camera to imovie08?
Nono, I didn't explain properly.
I can import the FILES from the camera no problem. What I want to do is hook the camera up to the Mac WHILE recording and see what the camera is recording as well as (ideally) capture the video in-app. You can do this in iMovie with certain model cameras, it's just that this one isn't among the compatible models.

Imovie does not recognize my Canon Vixia HF R10 camcorder.
I cannot seem to get my Mac (OS X 10.6.8) or IMovie11 to recognize my Canon Vixia HF R10 camcoder so that I may download the movies I've taken.
I have successfully donloaded movies from this camcoder in the past but for some reason it is not working now. When I direct the camcoder to connect with the computer, two externa; drive icons show up on my desktop, "No Name" and "Canon." Clicking on either one doesn't help either.
I've also tried to download the movies by taking the storage card out and placing it in a card reader also attached a usb port.....nothing.
Furthermore, Iphoto comes on automatically.
Can someone please help? Thanks.I cannot seem to get my Mac (OS X 10.6.8) or IMovie11 to recognize my Canon Vixia HF R10 camcoder so that I may download the movies I've taken.

Importing from Canon Vixia HF R10
'When importing with iMovie from my Canon Vixia, there's two options "large" and "full original size"... if I select "large", and transfer off 16gb from the camera I get 16gb on my mac, if i select "full original size", and transfer off 16gb i get way more than 16gm on my mac... what's happening to cause this... someday i want to upload(youtube) the videos i'm recording in full 1080 HD.... am I still getting HD with the "large" selection? need some explanation help. thanks in advance!
When you choose to import HD footage as "Large", iMovie imports and converts the AVCHD files on your camera to an optimized .MOV file that gives you a good balance between visual quality and reasonable file size.
When you choose to import HD footage as "Full", iMovie imports and decompresses the AVCHD file to its "true" full file size.
"Large" is not 1080p.
If you want 1080p, stick with the "Full".
Keep in mind that Full size HD footage is HUGE (which is why most people that work with HD video on a regular basis have more than one hard drive for storage). All that visual quality (data) requires space.
I find the Large size to be more than adequate for viewing purposes. You can do a trial run to see how it works out with your camera. Import some footage, make a quick movie, then toss it up on the biggest screen you can find. See how it looks. You can have a Full size clip to compare it to. You may find that the difference in visual quality is not worth the time / space cost.
Hope that helps. -
Canon Vixia HF r10 link to Mac?
I saw the list of iMovie compatible cameras, so I'm pretty sure I can't record direct to iMovie with this model, but is there any 3rd party software (or Maybe Final Cut?) that will allow this? I want to be able to record vlogs and interviews using the Mac screen for viewing. I can always import into iMovie later.

Canon Vixia Backup Drive? Macbook Pro
I have a Canon Vixia HF R10 and Macbook Pro. Want a Backup Drive that I can transfer to directly from Canon, then at a later date take footage from backup drive onto MacBook. I'm traveling and have a single power source in my vehicle. Wanting to dump probably about 500gb while on the road into backup drive(one that doesn't need computer connected to function), and then when i'm done traveling move footage over to macbook and begin editing.
I'm hoping for suggestions on a third party piece of equipment that will play nicely with my canon and macbook. Thanks!Probably the simplest thing to do (all around, considering cost, portability, reliability, and workflow considerations) is to +record your videos to SD/SDHC cards and store them for later transfer to your MacBookPro/hard drive.+ (Class 4 or higher cards.)
You can put 2-4 hrs on a 16GB card and 4-9 hrs on a 32GB card depending on the mode you shoot (but don't use LP mode unless you absolutely have to, as it's the least quality mode).
There's no USB hard drive that I know of that you could just plug into this camcorder and copy the video. You would need a computer to do it.
(Even if you use a computer to copy the folders/files from the camcorder's hard drive/SD cards, you must copy the entire directory structure from the camcorder's memory, beginning at root, all the way down the directory tree. You can't just copy the .mts files and expect to have usable video. That's one of the many reasons I suggested using SD cards to record & store your videos until you get home and can transfer them to your MacBookPro. If you intend to do this, be sure to pilot it before you depart to make sure the technique works in your case.) -
Canon Vixia HV30 capture issue on CS6 (Mac OSX)
This might be (hopefully) something in setup, but under Mac OSX Lion (10.7.4) / Premiere CS6, i am unable to capture video from my Canon Vixia HV30 - it's either i get a monstruous noise or simply get a 'capture device offline' message.
No one ever had a similar problem even withanother cam here? I posted weeks ago but never got any reply.
Am using the same cam under Windows with Premiere CS4 and never faced such an issue.
Matter of some sort of CODEC ? Does not seem to require any specific driver for Mac based on Canon website.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
RobSolved... (Almost!)
Someone pointed out that Canon has a software (they said there was no driver for Mac OS X so I had stopped looking...) But if it may help others, there is a ''CameraWindow'' for Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 available.
As soon as I installed it, I could capture both from Adobe Premiere CS6 and iMovie.
One problem remaining though : the noise (feedback-like) that gets out from... the system's sound card ! (when capture is ongoing). I have to shut down the volume completely. Never had this issue under Windows, need to figure out why this happens now.
Jeff thanks again for your assistance, even though the solution was somewhere else.
If anyone has a clue for the noise issue ... please let me know

MacBook Pro won't recognize videos on my Canon Vixia HG20
I have a Canon Vixia HG20 and had no trouble copying video to my Mac laptop in the past. Now I have a MacBook Pro and when I connect the camera with a USB cable, the videos are grayed out and the computer doesn't recognize them. The videos play fine on the camera itself. Also, the still photos show up on the computer and transfer easily. I've seen older posts & sites (2008, 2009) that are related to this issue, but I'm not sure they apply anymore. Any new help for 2012 out there? Please explain in layman's terms, as I am not very technically literate. Thanks!
Go to the Canon Drivers and Software page here and download the March and April software updates for OSX Lion. This should help in transferring video.
There is also a firmware update for the camera here.

How to import MTS files from Canon Vixia HF M40 to Mac for editing?
I recently bought a Canon Vixia HF M40 and I have been able to import the MTS video files to iMovie, but now that I want to edit in Adobe Premiere, I am at a loss. Can someone tell me an easy way to import these files to either my computer or into the program itself for editing. It is entirely too time consuming to import into iMovie and convert every single file to quicktime only to import into Premiere and export yet again (not to mention the quality loss). Thank you for any help you can give me.

How to view original video files from my Canon Vixia
Hi -
I have a Canon Vixia camcorder and I cannot find a way to view the original mts files on my iMac. I hate to say this, but my old windows laptop to does this without any issue, so that's what I'll continue to do until something changes.
When I mount the camera on my Mac, it only shows one giant AVCHD file. I have read the posts about using iMovie to import the AVCHD file and then export the individual clips, but frankly that ***** for a few different reasons that I don't really feel the need to explain.
Why does Mac not allow me to simply view the files as they are on the camera? I don't edit with iMovie, I edit with Premiere and the original mts files are just fine with me. I love my iMac and all my other Apple products, but let me view my files! ...please?
Thanks
JoeyAVCHD utilizes a proprietary container format. The MTS files are in there, you just have to know where to look.
Navigate to the root directory of the memory card. You should see a rather large (depending on how many clips are on there) file called PRIVATE. You need to right-click that and select "Show Package Contents". Inside, find the file AVCHD, right-click it and select "Show Package Contents". Inside, find the file BDMV, right-click it and select "Show Package Contents". Inside, find the folder STREAM and open it. You should find the MTS files there.

How do I import video from my canon vixia hv40 into imovie?
How do I import video from my canon vixia hv 40 into imovie?
First decide which editing program you intend to use; iMovie, FCE, FCP, Adobe Premier, etc. Read the user's manual or Help files for your chosen application to determine the steps needed: the procedure will vary somewhat from application to application.
Next, with the camera and the computer off, connect the Firewire cable to both units, then power up. Set the camera to VTR (play) mode. Open your editing program and follow the instructions provided in the Help files for capturing DV footage from tape.
Do NOT expect the camera to mount on your desktop as if it were a hard drive or optical disc.

How can I get Premier Elements to recognize my Canon Vixia HV40 to record tape from it?
I recently installed Adobe Premier Elements 12 on my new Lenovo U310 Ideapad computer. I opened the program and was able to transfer a clip from a file transfered to me from a smart phone recording and start assembling a new home movie. However, when I tried to get video footage from my Canon Vixia HV40 tape camcorder, I received a message "No HDV camera connected. I then used my older Canon Vixia HV20 camera and changed the USB connecting cable, but that camera too was not recognized. In the past, I had been succesfull using an older version of Premie Elements to get footage from my Canon camera. Is it possible that this new Premier Elements 12 is not programed to pick up these Canon video cameras or is their some way around this problem. My new computer does not have a 1394 input.
TR Snevac
As far as I have ever seen reported DV or HDV data capture into Premiere Elements Capture Windows (any version) does not work unless the connection is firewire. And, there are occasions (especially with HDV capture firewire) the require that the capture firewire be done in HDVSplit and then the split clips imported into a Premiere Elements project via the typical Get Media/Add Media route.
Which version of Premiere Elements allowed you to do a DV or HDV capture firewire in to its Capture Window using a USB connection? From what you wrote it gave me the impression that you were saying that you had.
If you have followed the protocol for HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 (with correct project preset)
http://help.adobe.com/fr_FR/premiereelements/using/WS5CDA0F91-60F1-4b79-ABF6-E9E75F498DB2. html#WS2AF26FB5-4C63-4c46-9DB3-7249558F6528
then you would need to explore the use of HDVSplit (firewire connection) and then import of the .m2t split clips from that process in to Premiere Elements 12 (Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets).
http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm
If both these Canon camera are miniDV camcorders, then you need a firewire connect to the data capture into Premiere Elements Capture Windows.
Do you have access to a computer with a firewire port?
Or
Does your computer have what is referred to as a PCMCIA slot for use with a firewire card? Have you looked into the possibility? No sure if that will work for you.

I sounds like that is not a feature of the uploader all.

Having trouble using a Canon Vixia HG20 HD video cam in Adobe Connect Pro. Any suggestions?
Anyway to disable the builtin isight camera and let the Canon Vixia HG20 be the default when it's connected ? I have a Macbook Pro with OS 10.9.4. it doesn't recognize the Canon Vixia HG20. Only the built-in isight camera is used by ACP. I'd really appreciate any suggestion on this very frustrating situation.
It is probably not recognized because the OS doesn't see your camera as a webcam. There is a Windows application to get around this, but I've not heard of one for Mac. If anyone has, please share.
