Canon Vixia HV 40 HDV mode and HD 24f mode help

Hi everyone,
I just did a 2-camera shoot-- problem is, I shot in HDV mode, and my partner shot in HD24f.
I am new to HD--how can I cut footage from both modes and not have them look different?
Are there capture issues between the two modes? Thanks for your help!

I'm not familiar with the cameras, but a quick look says both are HDV and likely either 30 or 24 fps.
You should be able to Log and Capture using the appropriate HDV codec. Depending on the performance of your capture machine, you can either transcode on-the-fly to the ProRes codec of your choice or capture as HDV and subsequently transcode to ProRes codec of your choice.

  • Canon Vixia HF S20 HD Camera and FCE

    I am having a problem and can't get the "Log and Transfer" to complete the process of placing the video clip in the queue so I can create a project. When I drag the video clip into the queue it starts to download it then stops and a little red triangle with an exclamation point is displayed where the download icon was. The clip never makes it to the browser window. I hope this makes sense. Is there a setting in the software I need to change?

    First, make sure you have update to FCE 4.0.1. Make sure all your clips are HD. If there is a mixture of stills and movie clips on the camera storage, this can cause problems. Remove the stills.
    Then -
    Open the Log and Transfer window.
    Click on the little gear shaped icon towards the upper middle of the L&T window
    Select Preferences from the drop down menu.
    When the preference window opens, set the AVCHD Plug-In audio format to Plain Stereo.
    Now give it a try.

  • Help with Canon VIXIA HF M31 4353B001 HD Camcorder

    Hello, there
    I bought this Camcorder, " Canon VIXIA HF M31 4353B001 HD "
    and I'm new to this HD Cameras
    I'm trying to figured out how to edit the video from this Camera,
    the manual says that it produces
    video file format:
    MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
    others says that file format is:
    AVCHD
    Whatever that is, but?
    what type of file should I see when I take a look in my memory card in my PC and
    what do I do with those files?
    I heard Premiere CS5 has trouble editing these files?
    Please, help
    I'll really appreciate it
    Freddy

    Copy the entire contents of the camera's card to your hard drive.
    Use Premiere Media Browser to import the files into your project.
    Do this:
    caveat
    And to understand what is happening, then watch this:
    How do I choose the right sequence settings?

  • Just bought a new Canon Vixia HF R300.  It looks like I have basically two recording modes--either AVCHD or MP4.  I have a year old Mac Mini on Lion with increased ram.  I edit on iMovie and upload to You Tube.  Which recording mode would be best?

    Hi...
    I just bought a Canon Vixia HF R300 camcorder.  It looks like it gives me a choice of two recording modes AVCHD or MP4.  I will be uploading onto a year old Mac Mini with the Lion Operating system and increased ram.   I will be editing in iMovie '11 then uploading to You Tube.  Which recording mode should I use?  Obviously I'd like to get the best quality but I also want it to show well on You Tube.   What do you think?  Thanks for the help.  Bill

    Hi
    What program can you use to convert AVCHD to a DVD format?
    Share to File (in iMovie) - AND AS 480p - NOT Higher as DownScaling will be done badly.
    Use this file in iDVD or Roxio Toast™ or what DVD Authoring program You've got.
    To make a VIDEO-DVD You must use a DVD Authoring program - to get the right compression format AND Structure - It is a MUST.
    There are free alternatives - but resulting DVD hasve been far from what quality iDVD (and Toast™) will deliver.
    To get best possibly DVD - also this counts.
    - DVD brand used - I only Verbatim
    - DVD type used - I only DVD-R Single layer (4.7Gb)
    (DVD+R works for many and DVD-R/W usually don't work OK and Double Layer also are a problem to it self)
    - BURN SPEED - I set this as low possibly (usually x2)
    - Free Space on Start-Up Hard Disk - MATTERS - I never go less than 25Gb
    Good Luck
    Yours Bengt W

  • IMovie "does not see" videos from my Canon Vixia HF M32 and shuts down. Any ideas?

    Lately, I have not been able to download videos as I used to from my Canon Vixia HF M32. My iMovie would not see the camera and would often close unexpectedly. It then gives an incomprehensible error message. I have no idea why this is happening or what to do. I was able to dowload some videos using a pc and a different software. Any clue?
    Thanks

    iMovie HD (version 5 and 6) works only with Firewire cameras, DV or HDV.
    Footage from other types of cameras can be converted for use. Try VoltaicHD and convert to Apple Intermediate Codec (1080i or 720p) for HD footage or DV for SD (Standard Definition) footage.
    If all you want to do is creating a DVD, go for SD footage in the DV format. A DVD is always SD.

  • Canon Vixia camcorder and Imovie09 anyone have any issues?

    Hi I have a 2009 2.66 ghz Quad Core Mac Pro. I plan on purchasing a high definition camcorder, I was very interested in the Canon Vixia series but was concerned because I read that people had issues with their canon Vixia camcorder and Imovie. Should I be concerned? Anyone have any issues with the Canon VIXIA HFS100, HF200, or the HF20 and Imovie09 on their 2009 intel Mac Pro? I don't want to spend 750-900 dollars on a camcorder if I'm going to have issues importing the videos into my mac. Any info is greatly appreciated

    Other issues were around the 1080p is not really 1080p. meaning it says it records 30p, but it imports it at 60i. Don't really understand why.
    Today I tried 30p on my Canon HF-S100 for the first time. If I understand correctly it's still saving the video in 60i format -- e.g. all of the odd scan lines in one field, then all of the even scan lines in the next field. The visible difference is that you don't see the interleaving when you view the results in iMovie or Final Cut Pro.
    With 30p it's as if the camera captures an entire frame at once, then saves it as two interleaved 60i fields. By contrast, when the camera is recording 60i it captures one field (every other scan line) and records that, then captures and records the other field separately.
    In other words, in 60i mode, the subject may move between the recording of the first field and the recording of the 2nd field, resulting in interleave "jaggies". In 30p mode the subject doesn't move between the recording of the fields, since both were captured at the same time.
    I wish I could insert some pictures to better explain myself

  • Canon VIXIA HV40 HDV Camcorder question

    I'm considerring purchasing the Canon VIXIA HV40 HDV Camcorder. Has or does anyone used this Camcorder? and or do you know if it is compatible with FCE 4.0.1.?
    Also is the VIXIA the US model equivalent to the LEGRIA in the UK? I can't seem to find the VIXIA on UK websites

    I have the Canon HV20 which is excellent and compatible.
    The HV30 was virtually identical so I should imagine the HV40 is also pretty similar.
    Take a look at this review. The same site also has reviews of the HV20 and HV30 if you want to see the differences.

  • Importing and burning mts files from my Canon Vixia HF20

    I have the HD camcorder Canon Vixia HF20 (and love it btw). It creates .mts files. I downloaded the software that came with the camcorder for Macs, but it does absolutely nothing for me (as far as I can tell - maybe I am doing something wrong).
    I downloaded VLC so I can watch the .mts files and it works great. However, I am completely stuck on how to a) burn them, b) transfer them to a file format that allows me to burn them.
    I have a new Mac desktop and am a novice at using it (I've had a laptop for a while before the desktop). Thus, I don't know how to use iMovie. Everything I read says imovie will be able to burn the files. However, when I open iMovie, choose "import," it doesn't allow me to import anything b/c they are in the .mts file format. It's like they are "blacked out" and incapable of being uploaded from my computer's hard drive to it.
    So, I'll quit rambling. I've researched this ad nauseum, so any help on how to burn these files would be so greatly appreciated. I do not have File Cut Pro. Thanks!

    iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9 can import that file format but only from the camera.
    Once you move the files off the camera you'll have to jump through some hoops to convert them.

  • Need help with Canon Vixia HF S200 and FCP settings looks awful, help!

    Shot footage on Canon Vixia HF S200 HD at PF24 looks great in camera. Used Wondershare video converter to go from .MTS file to MPEG4 file. Brought into FCP 6.0.6 now image has a lag time or slightly blocky/mosaic when people or camera moves; the sound is good. What should my sequence settings be? Did I miss a setting in Wondershare? I've never used this camera before and my boss needs me to impress our new school superintendent...help!
    Andrew

    Thanks Jerry, that helped alot. Read my latest post please:
    ...Pro Res 422 for a 4 minute project using FCP 6.0.6. It's a Mac Pro 2x3Ghz Quad with GB 800 Mhz. The project is almost done but it is freezing up during playback. Plays for 20 second then playhead freezes then jumps ahead. I've copied timeline sequence 2 times and created new sequences and that does not help. If anyone has suggestions I'm all ears, thanks.

  • Log and Transfer Crash FCP 6.06, from Canon Vixia HF20

    I am having a strange problem in logging and transferring from FCP 6.06. I have been logging and transferring from my Canon Vixia HF20 without any problems for monthes. Then I have been granted access to a Sony HXR-NX5U NXCAM from work, I logged and Transferred from the flash memory unit HXR-FMU128, without any problems. But ever since I logged and Transfered from the sony flash unit, in attempting to log an transfer from my Canon Vixia has caused FCP to crash every single time. I then log and transfer again from the Sony Flash unit without any problems, after having dealt with the Canon transfer crashes.
    Currently log and transfer from Song Flash unit always works, from Canon Vixia never works in FCO 6.06.....boooOOO!
    Anyone else experience a problem like this?

    Hi Eugene
    Seems like maybe your FCP's preferences have taken a turn for the worse ... at least I haven't heard of this being a widespread issue so I would recommend you start by using a free app like Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager to make a backup copy of your current FCP user preferences, then use the same Preference Manager app to "trash" those existing prefs. Now restart FCP and see if the problem still persists .. hopefully not. If the problem is still there then you can use Preference Manager (again) to restore your previous prefs from the backup copy you made ... and you are back where you started.

  • 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.
