Canon vixia hf10 problem...

i am using the canon vixia hf10 camera. i upload the vids to premiere fine and whn they are on the right side and just under the "organize" spot they look fine. i drag them to the left into the timeline and they look horrible. they look all jumbled. They are all mixed up with a bunch of thick horizantal bars and i cant fix it. I have tried to check the boxes next to reverse field dominance and interlace consecutive frames,and it doesnt work. any ideas?

This sounds like a mismatch between your source footage, and your Project Preset.
If you do not know the full specs. of your source footage, you can use G-Spot, the free utility to get ALL of the details.
Please tell us the full specs. of your source footage. Next, tell us the exact specs., chosen when you did New Project. There is very likely a mismatch there, and it can easily be rectified.
Good luck,

  • How do you Backup Canon VIXIA HF10 files for FCP?

    Hi,
    I just bought a Canon VIXIA HF10, wonderful!!
    I'm trying to import the captured/recorded files into FCP..i found that's a problem..
    When i drag and drop all the files and folder on my desktop and when i deleted 1 of the file in the backup folder...Final Cut Pro unable to browse the whole folder for preview and even doesn't launch in the Log and Transfer window
    How to solve this problem? how to delete the clips that i don't want and keep posible to launch in FCP? Deleted it on Camera before backup to computer? not really a good idea...
    HF10 users....helps...
    Thanks and Appreciate!

    I have HF100. Do you mean make a backup of footage you take before editing? Or after editing? For footage before editing, I make an exact copy of the SDHC card from my camera and store that on an external harddrive. That is in the avchd codec (with file and directory structures intact). Therefore 8GB card = 8GB on Hard Drive. With the HF10 I believe it is possible to copy the files on Camera's Hard Drive to Camera's SDHC. Then you could follow my workflow. You will also find that you can point Log and Transfer to the stored copy on the drive and it will transcode to ProRes or AIC as you determine. The important thing to remember is to maintain the exact file and directory structure as the original.

  • Canon Vixia HF10 and importing into FCP

    Can anyone tell me how to import from the Canon Vixia HF10's internal memory into FCP? It seems that there is only a USB connector on the camera and FCP only supports Firewire. Any suggestions?

    Dear Jerry,
    I have the same issue. Just got the camera. I can copy the "private" folder which contains all the information which I believe is based on .MTS type files.
    I was hoping that I could somehow just load these clips in directly as I used to use a canon miniDV which required me to play the entire clips.
    I have mpegstreamclip but am not too familiar. Is there any other way other than having to convert each and every clip?
    Thanks so much for any advice you can give me.

  • Ingest from AVCHD Canon VIXIA HF10

    After quite a bit of research I purchased a Canon VIXIA HF10 with the hope that FCE would ingest footage from the camera. However, FCE does not recognize the camera. I've also tried to capture once the program is open but it tells me it is "unable to initialize video deck". Any recommendations?

    Is this the case with any AVCHD camcorder?
    In general, yes. Some cameras shoot in a format called "AVCHD Lite" which need conversion for use in FCE. (BTW, FCE will transcode your AVCHD media into the Apple Intermediate Codec during ingestion which will greatly increase file size. Hope you have lots of free space!)

  • IMovie Crashes When I Hook Up Canon VIXIA - New Problem

    Hi all - I have a Canon VIXIA HF200 camera, which has worked perfectly with iMovie until this weekend. I have iMovie 8 (7.1.4) and like I said it's worked great until recently. Now, iMovie launches fine but when I hook up the Canon video camera via USB, iMovie crashes. I did accept an iMac system update recently so I am wondering if this is related. Help???

    Hi
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Delete iMovie pref file
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. (one or more of these)
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    • Turn off Mac and disconnect Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes - will at least re-set FW-port
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    • Problems in iPhoto Library can affect iMovie to crash on start-up. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    _ close iPhoto
    _ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    _ now select all five options presented
    _ WAIT a long long time
    • iMovie updated ?
    • QuickTime updated ?
    • Mac OS version ?
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 4 - will not work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.1.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’09 v. 8.0.6, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

    I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

  • Canon Vixia HF10, 100, 20, 200

    Ok Allan,
    Best value? I have reviewed the 10 to great reviews and its in my price range. Whats the comparison of the other 3 models compared to the 10? I will definately be buying a Canon, but which one?

    The difference between the 10 and 100 is built-in memory.  Not worth the costs with SDHC cards dropping rapidly in price.
    Similarly, the only difference between the HF20 and HF200 is the built-in memory.
    90% certain the HF10/100 are discontinued.  I have an HF100 and love it.  The HF200 is its replacement.
    Or are you talking about the HF S10/S100?  That is a new model, and if I recall correctly, had a physically larger sensor than the HF100 (and the HF200, which has a smaller sensor than the HF100), which means the S100 should be the best choice in terms of low-light performance.
    *disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.

  • Imovie '11 won't recognize Canon Vixia HF10

    I have been trying forever to get my Computer to Recognize my Vixia. I was a little disappointed because supposidly the canon is supposed to be very compatible. Every thread I read says to connect the cam into a power source and connect it via USB and Imovie should automatically recognize it. It does not.
    I should let you know I am trying to get clips off of it's hard drive.
    I have tried import, Movies, selecting the camera and all those files are greyed out.
    Any Ideas? It will not pop up automatically I don't know what to do.
    Thanks
    Emily

    Sometimes the order in which you launch iMovie and connect the camera can make a difference. I always recommend going the extra step of having the camera attached to the wall, connected to the computer, powered on, then put into playback mode. THEN, start the computer up...
    Launch iMovie once you see the desktop appear then go to the File Menu > Import from Camera...
    Best practice for connecting the camera is usually to have it powered up and playing back before you even launch iMovie at the least.

  • Anyone Use the Canon Vixia HF10 With iMovie?

    Settled on this one after considering a Sony HDD model.
    Anyone have a view?

    I don't own a camcorder, but I've read that iMovie 6 requires a camcorder with a firewire connection; yours apparently has USB? So that could be part of the problem; hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to address the question of the SDHC cards this camcorder uses. You may be able to get the files off the cards onto your desktop and then go from there. I own a Canon digital camera and have no problems getting the movie files on to the desktop and drag and drop them into iMovie.

  • Import from memory based Canon Vixia HF10

    Hi all...been using my Canon HD camera with iMovie with relatively few problems.
    What strikes me as odd is when I click "Import from Camera" it never recognizes the camera. Sometimes it imports, sometimes it doesn't or at least doesn't notify me it is importing. Anyone know anything else about this?

    Im curious, how did you fix this issue? Previously iMovie 08 found my HF100 and I could import my clips, but now it just wont recognize the camera. Camera is on, powered, and everything is correct. I got a disk on my desktop named NO NAME which contains all the clips, but iMovie does not recognize.

  • Canon Vixia HF10 .MOV pixelation issue

    My goodness...
    I used FCP to import the .mts files from the HF10. When I open the converted .mov file in the FCP Viewer (before pulling anything into my actual timeline), it looks wonderful (as wonderful as a consumer HD cam can look.)
    However, when I drag the file into the FCP timeline everything looks like they are in 8-bit Super Mario world (over exaggerating of course.) Seriously, all edges are squares.
    After I finish the edit, I export using Compressor, burn it with DVDSP and the final product when watched on anything keeps the square appearance.
    Is there something I am missing between the import of the raw clip to the viewer that looks great, and for some reason goes 8-bit when dragged to the canvas?
    Thank you for your time.

    I tried something, changing the sequence settings to match the type of media, and in canvas and during edit things look fine, that is my mistake. However after going through Comp and DVDSP the DVD product is still pixilated. I guess it has something to do with the type of compression, I'd just like to know how to keep it from doing it, as the initial stuff looks good.
    Thanks.

  • How to read .MTS from Canon VIXIA HF10

    Hi all, I'm trying to import some .MTS footage to FCP 6. I know I have to use Log and Transfer. I did this before but now it is not working anymore!. No idea what's going on. I already updated my software to the latest upgrade, but still the same window appears everytime I try to import. It says:
    "STREAM" (my folder) contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    Could anyone explain or help?
    Thanks in advance

    HI, I had a similar problem although somewhat different. As an editor I received 3 .mts files of HD footage. I didn't have the camera model or make and the files were copied off the media card and then deleted.
    Fortunately I was told by Peter Bradley that you Toast can read the files. So I dropped the .mts files into the video tab of Toast 9 and they all appeared. I was able to view the footage and am now exporting it to a disk image to see that I get. It may turn them into SD, I don't know yet, but since we are editing it in SD, that would be fine with me.
    I will investigate this some more. The DVD that Toast creates will be less than adequate for many purposes since the footage will be processed a great deal in order to use it, but at least I am able to use it.
    Any feedback would be great.
    BTW, MPEG Streamclip, which I love and will be used to extract an editable QT from the .VOB that Toast is creating, was unable to read the .mts files. I also tried opening the files in iMovie08 with no success.
    peace, Rusty

  • FCE MBP VIXIA HF10 System setup advice

    Wow, that's a lot of acronyms. Anyway, I'm running a MBP C2D 2.4 with a 7200 rpm drive and 4GB of RAM. I have a Canon VIXIA HF10 HD camcorder. I want to use Final Cut Express to make short video podcasts. I'll be editing 1080/60i Apple intermediate codec footage.
    I have a question about drive setup. I know I need an external scratch/capture disk, but I'm not sure if I need a RAID-0 setup, a single-drive, FW800 or SATA.
    I'm thinking either a single-drive or RAID-0 FW800.
    Suggestions? Is one better than the other? Will a RAID-0 be that much faster than a single disk? What about reliability?
    Thanks!

    I picked up a single 1TB FW800/SATA drive from OWC and a Drobo for backup. The system works great. Now all I need is a Mac Pro!

  • Log & Transfer problem with Canon Vixia

    I have a Canon Vixia HG20 and I am trying to use the log and transfer. But it is not working.
    I select my clip and select add to queue but it never adds. I get a red exclamation sign and it says clip idle.
    I've used both of my macs, an iMac with Tiger and a Macbook with Leopard. I have Final Cut Express 4.
    I have tried setting the audio to plain stereo, didn't help
    I can get iMovie to transfer the clips no problem.
    Anyone know what I need to do?

    I am using the Canon HG10 with CE 4.0.1 and seem to be having the same problem. I am new to FCE 4.
    I have tried a few of the settings on Easy Setup however I do not seem to be having any joy.
    If anybody could shed some light onto this I would be so grateful!
    Thanks
