Canon XF100 and full HD recording

Hello,
I am Canadian videographer established in Hawaii for a while and I am developing a project. I want to make Hawaii known to Canadian via Skype. It is a new concept of reality show where people can follow me in Hawaii in real time and ask me questions. It would be a premiere in the reality show world. You are welcome to financially support the project (around 900$). It could be an awesome way to promote how Skype can be powerful. But now, I need your help to make it a success. I use a Canon XF100 and a MacBook Pro 2011. I want to use the Canon XF100 as an external HD camera on the MacBook Pro for his features, his XLR quality sound and the Full HD video. I tried to add the link to the diagram but it says "it is not a valid URL" then it is... So, here are the details:
The MacBook Pro settings: Skype 5.8 + Mac OS X 10.7 + 2,2 GHz I7 + 8G RAM + 256 SSD hard disk drive.
What I want to do:
- Use Clear Hotspot for wireless internet (with G4 and G3).
- Connect the Canon XF100 to BlackMagic Design via HDMI.
- Connect BlackMagic Design to MacBook Pro via Thunderbolt.
- Connect the headset to the MacBook Pro via USB.
My questions:
Does Skype recognize Thunderbolt connection from the BlackMagic Design?
How can I record audio from the headset microphone, from people questioning and from the Canon XF100?
How can I record Full HD chat video from Skype (Ecamm can’t do that)?
I look forward to having answers from you as soon as possible. Thank you.

Yes. with it's newer cameras, (T4i, T5i, 6D, 70D,5D3,etc) Canon gets around this by allowing you to continue past 4GB but the video is automatically split into separate files. This means you will need to edit the movie back together in post processing.
Magic Lantern does not degrade your video quality. It can actually improve your quality thanks to all the options it adds, but it does not allow you to exceed the 4GB limit.
Magic Lantern has an "Movie Restart" option to go past 30 mins. The camera will stop after 29.59minutes, but will restart in less than a second, so you don't lose very much and you don't need to touch the camera for that, as it will work automatically.

Canon XF100 and FCP X

I would like to know if the the most recent plugin from Canon now makes transferring files from camcorders like Canon FX100- to FCP X relatively straightforward if one is using MacBook Pro-version 10.6.8

One Of The Many wrote:
So... does anyone see a reason why purchasing this iMac model would be a bad idea? Anyone want to make a case for a Mac Pro? For waiting for the upcoming new Mac Pro?
It's hard to make the case for or against the new MP when we have no information yet on price – or any hands-on reports from editors.
But it's hard to see how the iMac would be a bad choice – a great display – and processing power that could easily handle the kind of projects you describe as well as the AVCHD format the Canon shoots. And whatever the MP ends up priced at, it is hard to imagine it not costing significantly more than your configured iMac – particularly if you want an equivalent display.
Good luck.

FCP 7.0.3, Canon XF100, saved some clips to a portable hard drive and now they won't import? Tried moving them back to the CompactFlash but still won't import?

Well, for FCP to see this file structure and recognize it, you need to download the Canon XF Log and Transfer plugin...

>I don't have the original clips on the card.
Meaning that they didn't back up the full card structure? Lordy...very few shooters do this and it is maddening. If you don't have the full card structure, even with the plugin, FCP cannot log and transfer.
As for ClipWrap2...that should work. Do you have the right files?

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:

This may also help:
Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.

Canon 5D Mark iii stopped recording video!

I was shooting on my new Canon 5d Mark iii yesterday, recording to a 16SD card and using a RODE shotgun mic for sound when a weird image appeared on my live view. Towards the right of the screen these blocks started piling up. When there were 4 blocks, my video stopped recording! I'm talking maybe 10 or 15 second videos here. My SD was less than half full at the time, and when I hit record again I only got about 10 to 15 seconds more of video recording. What the heck was going on!? Please help!
I've drawn a picture of what the blocks lookied like to further illustrate my point. Thank you!

Hello ScottESwartz,
What you are seeing with this indicator is the amount of data being recorded to the buffer. Even though you are using a 16GB memory card, if it is a slow card, this indicator will fill quickly and stop. It makes it seem as though the card you're using doesn't have the speed to keep up with the recording level you have set. You could test this by selecting a smaller movie recording size and compression method within the Menu. For example, you may try 640 / 30 frames / IPB and see if this indicator either doesn't appear or fills more slowly. This tells you that the card isn't simply fast enough to handle large recordings with ease, hence the quick fill up.
Another method would be to use a much faster class of card, for shooting full HD video use the highest class of card you can afford. This would be Class 10 with a high write speed. This ensures that the buffer in the camera writes to the card quickly, allowing for longer record times.

Media Encoder won't import MXF files from Canon XF100

I'm running Media Encoder CC on two laptops: a macbook pro and a macbook air. Both systems are running the most recent version of Media Encoder CC (including updates) but only one will import MXF files from a Canon XF100? The macbook air imports and encodes the files without issue, however the macbook pro won't import the same MXF files and kicks the following error:
The file /Users/.../.../.../AA0106.MXF could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again.
I could understand if both computers errored but using the same file, one will import and the other will not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just try this and see if it will work for you.
Open iPhoto > Preferences > General and deselect 'Connecting camera opens: iPhoto'.
Change it to 'No Application' and close iPhoto.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn it on or better still use a card reader.
If iMovie tries to open, close it.
Your camera/card should now appear as an external drive.
Copy/paste your video files into a new folder on your desktop.
Eject and disconnect your camera/card.
Now open iMovie and go File > Import > Movies... and navigate to that folder.

Problem with Canon XF100.

I have many files already saved on my network drive from my documentary project. CS6 deals with the files satisfactorily but Premiere Pro can not. What is the deal. How can I take MXF files already on my drive and make them function? I've tried to deal with support but the Phone call was disconnected and he never tried to get back with me. The ticket says withdrawn. Online Chat ended when the team viewer screen made the everything on my desktop disappear and then the chat screen went away. That ticket also says withdrawn. Neither agent tried to reconnect with me. Sent an email to [email protected] but have not had a response. Any one have any solutions or ideas on how to get Adobe support out of the US?
[Thread title shortened.]

Ok, so I made this discovery, I have observed some different reactions of Premiere Pro 7.2 CC when it deals with a MXF videos and I have not determined why it acts differently in these instances first: When dealing with a Folder on my network drive tilted AA1788 that resides in a clips straight of the canon xf100 CF card. In the AA1788 folder are 5 .mxf files with their corresponding .xmp and .sif files along with a AA1788.cif file and AA1788.xml file. When viewing this folder via the media browser in PPro CC i can see the XML file along with the appropriate number of and addressed (AA178801-AA178805) MXF videos, what I have discovered however is that PPro has spanned all the clips together and created five 5 identical files with the original AA1788xx file designation. OK so this is a bit frustrating but at least I can deal with that. I can not say at the moment that this is a consistent phenomena. In running a test on Folder AA1733 that resided on my desktop and contained many more MXF clips and corresponding files PPro did not span the clips together but left them as individual clips…. I suppose the best advice is keep a close watch when PPro CC deals with .MXF files. I've yet to edit and output anything on PPro CC so I can not relay any information on that. I must say that Adobe has been extremely deficient in dealing with this issue. They are very eager to get you to update and spend the cash but very very Poor with the support and fixes after.

I called 888 442 4551 and when the recording told me to press any number its not working,

I called 888 442 4551 and when the recording ask me to press any number on dial pad its not working, means I can not make any choices,,,

No, Apple does not support downgrading iOS. Never has.
Start with a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
If that doesn't work, you may need do a full restore.

Canon Vixia HF R400 Stops Recording?

Hello!
For some reason, my Canon HF R400 Camcorder (probably a week old) stops recording in the middle of recordings.
This has happened to me multiple times.
Today, I was recording a Piano cover, and it stopped recording around 2 minutes into it! I didn't even know until I watched it later on.
I tried it again, with the same result.
I read that it could be some sensor overheating, but the cam isn't turning off; It's just stopping the recording. Anyone know why?
Thanks!
Sahil

Same problem here. After approximately 20minutes of recording it will stop and start a new recording all it's self.
Any ideas?

Canon XF100 HD - Does it's Codec Work in FCPX

I'm shooting a job with the
Canon XF100 HD it's format is Canon XF Codec
Does that codec work in Final Cut Pro X without any conversions?
I've looked at the supported Codec list for Final Cut Pro X and the Canon XF Codecis not listed. However neither is another camera I use and that camera's codec works fine.
Your feedback is much appreciated.

It works well in Lion as long as you have the plug-in from Canon installed.
Good luck.

Display current and previous months records only

Hello gang,
My selection criteria looks like this:
not ({HRDEPBEN.PLAN_CODE} startswith ["C", "EAP", "HMIL", "V", "W"]) and
(month({hrdepben.Creation_date}) = month(currentdate)) and
{HRDEPBEN.PLAN_TYPE} = "HL"
I modified it to this in order to pull in previous month's data too:
{HRDEPBEN.PLAN_TYPE} = "HL" and
not ({HRDEPBEN.PLAN_CODE} startswith ["C", "EAP", "HMIL", "V", "W"]) and
(month({hrdepben.Creation_date}) = month(currentdate) or month ({hrdepben.Creation_Date})= month (currentdate)-1)
However, it's still pulls the same record count and only January records, not Decembers'.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks

Looks like you're reporting against Lawson? What database are you using?
There are a few issues with the record selection criteria as it's written:
1) Month(CurrentMonth) - 1 = 0 when the current month is January. That's why your not getting any records from December.
2) The monthly criteria won't be passed to the database for processing, which is a huge performance issue when you're reporting against a system like Lawson. You're basically telling the report to bring back all records that don't start with an array of values, irrespective of the date. Only after all the possible records are returned across the network will the extraneous records be filtered out on the client side. That's bad.
3) It's easy to use StartsWith or Like, but it's also pretty inefficient, since it forces a full table scan of the underlying table
Personally, I'd do one of two things in order to both fix the query and optimize it:
1) Write the underlying query in SQL as either a View or SQL Command object
or
2) Keep the current report, but make use of SQL Expression fields in order to optimize the query.
Here are some examples of SQL Expression fields against Oracle (PL/SQL) that could be useful:
/*{%PLANCODES}*/
/*This SQL Expression evaluates whether or not a Plan Code starts with the specified values*/
/*"HRDEPBEN"."PLAN_CODE" is selected directly from the Field Tree in the SQL Expression Editor*/
CASE
WHEN SUBSTR("HRDEPBEN"."PLAN_CODE",1) IN ('C','V','W') THEN 'Y'
WHEN SUBSTR("HRDEPBEN"."PLAN_CODE",3) = 'EAP' THEN 'Y'
WHEN SUBSTR("HRDEPBEN"."PLAN_CODE",4) = 'HMIL' THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N'
END
/*{&CREATEDATEMONTH}*/
/*This SQL Expression returns the month of the Creation Date field*/
/*"HRDEPBEN"."CREATION_DATE" is selected directly from the Field Tree in the SQL Expression Editor*/
TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR("HRDEPBEN"."CREATION_DATE",'mm'))
You could also create formula to return the Month value for last month and then use it in your record selection:
//{@LASTMONTH}
//This formula returns the Month value for Last Month
//IIF statements can be passed to the database for processing
IIF(Month(CurrentDate) = 1, 12, Month(CurrentDate) - 1)
With expressions and formulas like these in place (this code is Oracle and DB2 compatible, it would be different for T-SQL), you could then modify your record selection criteria to be something simpler, like this:
{HRDEPBEN.PLAN_TYPE} = "HL" and
{%PLANCODES} = 'N' and
{%CREATEDATEMONTH} IN {@LASTMONTH} TO MONTH(CURRENTDATE)// MONTH(CURRENTDATE) is passed to the DB
By laying the groundwork, you'll have a much more efficient report and, in the case of the @LastMonth, more accurate! Hope this helps!
p.s. a disclaimer on using SQL Expressions in this manner - it's not officially supported, although it's worked since Version 7 (when SQL Expressions were introduced) and there will be support for them in various 2011 versions. As such, they'll work for years. I use them all the time and they're fantastic for optimizing reports.

DHCP Reservation Sync and DNS Host record sync etc shown in IPAM GUI

Hello all,
I am aware of the scripts in the TechNet script center to sync DHCP leases etc to IPAM, however my question is about something else -
If you highlight an IP address (IP address inventory->select an IP), You can see fields that say: "DHCP reservation sync", "DNS PTR record sync" and "DNS host record sync" as below:
I was curious as to what these are for. Is there some built-in sync functionality for these that I perhaps have not enabled? (Don't see such options any where..)
thanks,
-Ravi

Hi Ravi ,
The three columns tell us the information of the synchronization between IPAM server and DNS server (or DHCP server) .
Here is the detailed guide for using IPAM :
Using the IPAM Client Console :
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878351.aspx#inventory
IPAM can sync DNS and DHCP records .
The IPAM database is separate from DHCP and DNS servers on our network ,and full synchronization of hosts and IP addresses between IPAM and managed DNS or DHCP servers does not occur automatically
unless we have configured automated tasks to perform this synchronization .
For detailed information ,see
DNS and DHCP record synchronization chapter in the following link :
Multi-server Management :
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj878329.aspx

Quicktime for full screen recording

Is there anyway I can do full screen recording using Quicktime. I can't seem to get it working when in full screen mode. Is there any keystrokes that I can use while in full screen mode?

What I meant was if I am playing a youtube video in full screen mode how do I capture that?
Update : OK I think I have this licked. I just click on the record button, click on the existing screen and then swipe to another space where the full screen video is playing. Cool.

Importing Canon XF100

I have a brand new iMac 27" with the latest version of FCPX installed. I am trying to import the media from the 32GB flash card from a Canon XF100. FCPX does not recognize the media.
I researched many threads, all leading me to download a Canon XF Utitlity Software
When I go to this site, it tells me that "There is no - software for the OS Version you selected."
I have the latest version of Mavericks
I tried downloading the version for 10.8 but nothing happens when I try to install the software. It just says "extracting" files and then the launching window disappears. I searched my computer for the extracted files...they are nowhere.
I do not want to use 3rd party software, so I appreciate the advice but would rather not go that route.
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I find this software?
Any help/advice will be appreciated.
Mike K.

Hi
I don't know if it will work for you since things could be different from one country to another, but Canon Australia sent me this link and it worked for me.

Canon S100 and Camera RAW 6.6

I upgraded from Photoshop Elements 9 to Elements 10 for the Canon S100 RAW compatability.
I installed the Elements 10 and then updated the Camera RAW to 6.6 from the Help Menu. When I try to open a file folder with a S100 RAW CR2 file I get the following error:
I have the latest Canon RAW Codec 1.9.0 installed.
I searched the on-line support and followed the instructions to uninstall Elements 10 (I also uninstalled Elements 9). I rebooted and re-installed Elements 10 then, I installed the RAW 6.6 file directly from the file on page: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5316. I still get the same error message when I go to the folder containing S100 CR2 files.
However, if I close the error window and try to open the S100 RAW file it opens in a separate window titled: Camera RAW 6-6 - Canon PowerShot S100 which can then be opened in Elements 10 after adjustment.
So, Elements 10 may be working properly except for the error window that keeps poping up as long as I have the folder open that contains the S100 RAW files.
Any comments or help appreciated.

The message you are seeing is from Windows and has nothing to do with any Adobe products other than the fact they use Windows File / Open dialogs to locate files.
Windows is seeing a CR2 file and probably wants to show you the thumbnail for it, and the thumbnail handler for CR2 files that is registered with Windows is the Canon RAW Codec. When Windows asks the Canon RAW Codec to show the thumnail for the S100 CR2 file, the Canon RAW Codec is smart enough to know it is too old, but the link it gives you leads to a place that does not contain any newer codec to install. Canon is slow to release updates for their RAW Codec. Version 1.9.0 is from last April 2011 so any new cameras that have come out since then are not supported, but it's near the end of February 2012 and if they update it once a year, then maybe it'll be updated soon.
On my system I use the payfor FastPictureViewer Codec Pack to view the thumanils of various image files:
http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/
It shows S100 thumbnails and full-screen previews ok even though it is much older than that model of camera.
