Canon Vixia HF S21

Does anyone know if Best Buy is planning on carrying this camcorder?

Hi camera81,
Unfortunately we don't have any plans on carrying the Canon HF S21 camcorder at this time, but we did just start carrying the Canon HF S20. I hope this helps!
Thanks for posting,

  • Time Shift During Import from Canon  Vixia HF S21

    I imported video from my Canon Vixia HF S21. All time stamps indicated in iMovie '09 are 7 hours early. That is, video shot at 10:57 AM (in the real world) is shown by iMovie '09 (following import) as having been shot at 3:57 AM.
    Here's the "weird" part:
    1) Time and date settings on the camera are accurate.
    2) Time zone (Pacific) and daylight savings (Daylight, not Standard) settings on camera are also accurate.
    3) Time and date settings on my Mac Pro are accurate.
    4) Time zone (Pacific) and daylight savings (Daylight, not Standard) settings on my Mac Pro are also accurate.
    Bug right? I figured out a workaround (Choose "Adjust Clip Date and Time..." from the File menu in iMovie), but it's a pain to do this on a large number of clips.
    Is there a better solution/a real fix to this?

    As you can see, the camera is showing up as a drive in the devices field.  Any ideas why it would do that instead of showing up in cameras?

  • FCE and Canon Vixia HF s21 Dual Flash media

    I have searched the forum for feedback on whether Final Cut Express has any file and transfer issues with a camera that has both SDHD cards and an internal hard drive, like the Canon Vixia HF s21 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder.
    Before I make the purchase, I just wanted to make sure if there are any problems with this set-up when doing log and transfer and whether the HF s21 or the Canon Vixia HFS 200 would be better in working with Final Cut Express 4.0.1 in a newsroom setting on MacBook Pros running Snow Leopard? I am supposing based on checking the forum that since both are AVCHD cameras all will be fine, but I wanted to check.
    Thanks,
    Douglas

    Thanks. Being the old newsroom hand that you are, a follow-up question. I am in the process of recommending a switch away from PC/Premium Elements video production to Final Cut and Macs for my newsroom. But we are only able to upload .flv or mpeg4 files to our website. My (hopefully not illiterate) notion is to shoot in HD on one of these Canons, import and edit into Final Cut and export out as .flvs or mpeg4 for upload to the paper's site. Am I missing something in this or is there another, better workflow under these constraints?

  • IMovie '09 compatiblity with Canon camcorders Vixia HF S21 , S10

    I want to replace a Canon Z45 digital camera with a Canon Vixia HF S21 or HF S10  and wanted to know if either is compatible with iMovie '09. I just plugged in the Z45 and it downloaded without trouble. Can I do the same with the newer cameras? Thanks! Dale

  • Vixia HF S21 24F import settings

    Have been a tape-based Canon and Final Cut Express user for the last 7 years. Now I have the latest Final Cut Studio and a new Canon Vixia HF S21. And you guessed it, I need to know the optimal import settings for Final Cut.
    I shoot short (28 min) nature "video postcard" DVDs and want the absolute highest HD quality I can get out of the new camera, so I have been shooting in the Vixia's 24F native mode at the MXP, 1920x1080, 24Mbps, quality with the intent of going to AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray or both. I want the best quality in the end, but, at the same time, I don't want to burn up hard drive space capturing more information than will reproduce on the DVDs.
    So in Final Cut's Audio/Video Settings, should I be using a Sequence Preset of "Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1920x1080 24p 48kHz" or will "Apple ProRes 422 (LT) 1920x1080 24p 48kHz" do? And in the Capture Preset, should I use "HDV-Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)" or will "HDV-Apple ProRes 422" be enough?
    Thanks very much for your assistance

    Pro ResLT. Capture preset doesn't matter. You're not capturing. The codec is set in the log and transfer window. The sequence preset should match.

  • 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,
    Rob

    Solved... (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
    Joey

    AVCHD 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.
    HTH.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.
