Canon XF105 MXF Files Wrong Date Associated

The "Date Modified" on the MXF files is correct however the  "Date Created" on files from my camera is listed as December 31, 1969, and I believe this is making the date that is added to the name of my clip when ingested using Adobe Prelude wrong. Any idea how to make the "Date Created" the correct date that the file was actually created on?

Hi bpanvideo!
Thanks for the post.
Please ensure the correct date/time has been set in the camcorder.  To do this:
Open the menu.
Select [Other Functions] > [Clock Set] > [Date/Time].
Use the joystick to change each field on the date/time screen.
Press <SET> to confirm and close the screen.
There is another setting you need to make sure is set correctly as well.  Please select [Time Zone] under the [Other Functions] menu and ensure it is set to your time zone.

  • Canon xf105 mxf files - importing multi channel audio into CC

    Hi there,
    We've recently upgraded to CC across our department, and I'm importing footage shot on our Canon XF-105 using the MXF wrapper. In 5.5 I was able to simply drag and drop from the project into the timeline and have both channels of audio recorded there. In CC I can only see the audio recorded with channel 1 and my clip in this instance was plugged into channel 2. Is this something that is known? Am I missing something from the setup of the project?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Anything you need to know about the project or the files, give me a shout!
    Cheers,
    Paul

    A lot of things have changed since 5.5.
    You need to set up Preferences before importing.
    Set Stereo to Mono in Audio / Default Audio Tracks.
    Or Modify the audio channels of the clips in the Project Window.

  • Problems reconnecting media with Canon C300 MXF files

    Working from Canon C300 MXF files imported into up to date premiere cc (not sure if through the media browser or through the import function). We have three stations working (one AE station and two edit bays) but only two stores of the media so we've been backing up the media onto a third drive so our other editor can work. No problems with the first editor station and AE station, they both have all the media. Our third station however...
    Basically the issue we're having is certain files won't reconnect to their MXFs, even though we've maintained the file structure and all associate canon files in their folders. We're getting diagonal shading across the clips in the timeline as well as the little triangle in the corner of the clip that signifies it's the end (and sometimes beginning) of the media. When we try to play those clips they are just a black screen. But when we try to match frame, it'll bring up the clip in the viewer and play fine. The media is not technically "offline," just not playing. When I try to reconnect the media I have to make it offline first and then reconnect but continue to have the same problem. It seems like an issue with merging the spanned clip across multiple .mxf files because there's no issue with clips that are not spanned. I tried isolating the individual clips from the .xml files that tell premiere to merge them and they reconnect fine up until the end of that file and then I've got diagonal lines for the rest of the clip again. I've tried everything I can think of and we're wasting so much money on this second editor not being able to work on anything because of this. Any insight would be most appreciated.

    Ah I see, I read through your link, I get that reverting could help except that all our other stations are running 7.2.2 so we'd have incongruity between stations. Whats strange is the other two stations are running fine, no problems. It's just with this other station that doesn't have all the media that's having the issue.

  • Canon XF300 mxf file conversion

    Hello. I have a new Canon MX300. The file format this unit uses is MXF. There are many MXF file conversion software products on the market such as "Pavtube or Borosoft". Basically these convert the MXF files into useable format such as Mpeg or what ever else you desire in a lossless format. Then that file can be utilize in a editing software to create a movie. My question is, instead of having to use the file conversion software can Adobe Premier Elements 12 bypass the conversion step? Does it need a plug in to work. Talking with the GREAT Canon rep today he lead me to believe it would but I wanted to ask the experts here.
    Thanks!

    cdnew1,
    Welcome to the forum, and thanks Jeff.
    PrPro can natively handle MXF files from the Canon, but I do not know of a way to Import those directly into PrE. There might be an available plug-in, but I do not know of it. Also, with the 3rd party plug-in market, PrE is pretty far down their lists, as it only costs about $100, so the users are not likely going to spend much on a plug-in.
    Perhaps others will have some useful tips on handling the MXF files.
    Good luck,

  • Problem importing canon c300 mxf files into Premiere Pro CC 2014

    I recently shot some footage with a c300 at 24fps, slog2, 2 audio chanels. I copied the "contents" folder of each cf card to my macbook pro hard drive by dragging across in finder.
    When I search from within Premiere Pro's media browser for my files, they show up only as VLC icons, and when I click to import them, I get an error message along the lines of 'unsupported format or damaged file".
    I can double click the files in finder and they open in VLC fine.
    I'm running the latest version of Prem Pro, Yosemite on my macbook pro which has 2.8ghz i-7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB graphic card.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?

    You could try to convert your XAVC MXF files into MPEG, then load them again , but the new codec may not be well handled by some converters.

  • Imported Canon xf305 MXF files keep copying themselves in Premiere Pro CC (October 2014)

    Hi. My Adobe Premiere CC keeps getting worse with MXF files. This is a progressing BUG Type problem with each update. As each Premiere update comes out my program behaves even more bizarre.  Upon original import, they're fine. Turn off computer and next day my half hour piece all-of-a-sudden turns into 25 copies of the first 5 minutes. So I delete the rest of the copies and whats left I loose 4/5th of the program. So I input files and they're ok,,, 2 hours later they're no audio on 1/2 of the program, or all of the individual Icons in the files bin have turned into one same picture of the first piece copies 10 or 20 times? Or I edit my footage and the next day I turn on the computer open the program and all my footage is not in the bins or timeline, yet they play perfectly fine on their own in the media drive with another player?
    WHAT IS GOING ON WITH PREMIERE? It's Absolutely Unusable? 
    Old drives? I don't think so, It's a relatively new computer with two (5 month old Solid State Drives) Besides it all works great with another player?

    4. Then I Open PremiereProCC, create a new project and point everything to that project folder on the M (media) drive.
    5. Next I go to media bin within the new project, right-click and choose "Import Media", grab all the new footage and hit open.
    6. The roughly 1 hour project taped at 750p @ 50mps, takes about 1.5 hours to populate into the bin.
    7. Finally I drag all the clips (roughly 10 of them) onto the new timeline, where it takes another roughly 30 minutes to populate onto the timeline.
    Item 4 ..explain "point"
    Item 5 ...Media Browser I assume?
    Item 6 ...thats far too long and indicates an issue.  Should be maybe a minute and then maybe some pek conforming
    Item 7 ...far too long and indicates a problem, Should be virtually  immediate.

  • Anyone Figure Out How To Edit Using Canon .mxf Files?

    my Canon xf105 .mxf files won't import into Adobe Premier Pro 6.0.3...  Keep getting a "generic error".... and I've tried everything!
    I've downloaded the Canon utilitiy, tried merging the clips, tried isolating the .mxf files, tried not touching the clip structure at all.....
    PLEASE HELP!!
    I'm using a Mac OS 10.8.2 on Mountain Lion.

    Put the CONTENTS folder in its own folder and name it e.g. Card 1.
    Go to the Media Browser and click on Card 1.
    Now your clips will show up and you can import them.
    Or go to the Project Window and click on Card 1 and Import Folder.
    If you want single files.
    Open XF Utility and Set Virtual Media (File) for Card 1.
    Select all files and Export to MXF (Edit).
    These single files can be imported into the Project Window.

  • Hard drive performance issue with DPX & MXF files

    Hi everyone,
    I spent hours on this forum reading articles about hardware to use for editing large files. I also have to admit, that I made some cut backs due to budge limitations.
    I spent most of the money on CPU, motherboard, & ram (6 core  32 gigs , hell of nice MB)  ( Video card= gtx 760 2 gig  )So ok,  I cheaped out on the hard drives. (I think)
    I put (2) 7200 rpm  drives (raid 0) as my Operating  system
    (1) External  8TB RAID  G drive (USB 3.0 ) as my Media drive. (footage)
    (2) 7200 drives (Raid 0)  as my Cache Drive
    I then opened up an OLD project using canon 5D footage (h264 mov) and some DPX sequence files.
    The 5D fooatge played in real time BUT as soon as it ran into the DPX sequence, the frames dropped.
    I wanted to cry. I just spent 1,600.00 on  parts (&3000.00 pc retail if I bought it instead of building it)
    And I got the same performance as my old quad core 6600/ 6 ram system. WHAT GIVES????
    So, can someone recommend the cheapest workaround that can get me editing in realtime?
    Do you think it's the 3.0 usb connection?
    The footage I will be editing will be from the canon c300 (MXF files)
    My fear is, if I am dropping frames with DPX file, what's going to happen when I get the MXF files?
    Fun Facts:
    I tested my OS drives, cache & media,and I was getting 290-301mb/sec  READ SPEEDS
    Thanks in advance !

    Loucann,
    I do not have the data on a three drive RAID 0 but here is a two drive RAID 0 with good Seagate ST2000DM001 drives.  I have to say "good" because there have been two varieties available, some with two platters and some with three platters.  The preferable are with two platters and my experience shows these drive to have an "E" in the third character of the Serial Number like Z1E1ME4V  They are slightly faster than the three platter versions.  Here is the HD Tune Read of the two better ST2000DM001 drives in RAID 0 on my system.
    The best connection is to have all three on a RAIDable Intel SATA III connection but I am doubtfull if this can be accomplished on many motherboards, maybe Eric can comment and enlighten us.

    What motherboard do you have?  I guess from the info above it is a socket 2011.

  • Can Final Cut Pro X import .mxf files from Canon XF105

    I have just bought new FCP X program,  and wanted to buy Canon XF105 - would FCPx can import .mxf - mpeg2 from Canon XF105 ?  Need your advice on this.

    Unfortunately I can't test it because, though I have some XF media, I can't find the Canon XF Utility on their web site. It comes on the disc with the camera I'm told, but I don't have a camera.

  • How to ingest Canon MXF files into FCP 7

    All afternoon I've been trying to figure out how to get Final Cut Pro 7 to recognize .mxf files generated by a Canon FS-CV hard drive, without much luck. This device has 3 options of format: .m2t, .mxf and Quicktime. I've found that the Quicktime files are not openable by Quicktime Pro 7.7 and gives me the bewildering error
    "An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie."
    Okay, so that's not working, let's try Plan B. Since I have a P2 camera, .mxf is a familiar sight so I tried that one. L&T doesn't recognize anything about it, so that's a no-go. The only reliable workflow I've found so far is to transcode the .m2t files to ProRes using Mpeg Streamclip. Okay, that works, but is that the only one of these that'll work with FCP? Quicktime format seemed like a no-brainer. Why won't it open and/or play? I've Googled and Googled and have found plenty of people asking this question but no useful answers so far. And why doesn't FCP Log & Transfer recognize these .mxf files? If Canon has a special plugin for this, I haven't been able to find it through the byzantine maze they call a web site.
    Any suggestions are welcomed.

    You're searching for the wrong device. It's a recorder made by Focus Enhancements, not Canon. Try

  • I can change Image Date, but file now has 2 dates associated with it!

    I have been able to successfully change the image date of the file using Timeature (I need to do this for a handful of images that have an incorrect date), as recommended elsewhere on the discussion board.
    What happens now is that:
    1. The metadata inspector shows the Image Date field as 9/1/02 12:00:00 PM PDT
    (this is correct - I set it to be that date and time, so that is great)
    2. When I click on the "EXIF" button at the bottom of the inspector (which allows me to choose what fields appear in the metadata inspector), the Image Date field is 2/1/04 9:51 AM GMT
    (this is the time the photo was taken, but it is what I am trying to change)
    So I now seem to have 2 image dates associated with the file.
    Any thoughts on how to "clear" the one I am trying to change?
    Thanks!

    Yeah, and worse the date set by Timeature is not set in the EXIF data so if you try to export the version the date you set won't go with the JPG. Even worse, I'm pretty sure the export will have the original photo's EXIF date, if it had one. You can get export to put the version date in the file name with the right export options.
    Export should really allow you to set the EXIF date on versions you export. One reason I bought Aperture was to be able to manage metadata so well that I wouldn't be beholden to it forever. Figured paying the big purchase price for Aperture was my ransom. We'll see in the next few versions if they fix this.
    The two dates are 1) the date in the per-version metadata and 2) the EXIF date in the original JPG. It doesn't modify the EXIF date in the original because Aperture doesn't modify the original by convention. Not updating EXIF data in the original jpg is probably right (IF they would provide a way to export all the version meta data into EXIFs).
    I've resorted to using some command line freeware jhead to set the EXIF dates before import for most of the stuff. You have to do that before the import though because once imported Aperture seems to ignore the EXIF date save for displaying it (to confuse you :-)).
    Since I don't actually care that the original JPG is preserved for me it would be nice to have a utility that read the date out of the latest version meta data and set the EXIF date on the original. That would compliment Timeature (which I find really really tedious and slow).
    Please correct me if I got this wrong!

  • Canon .MXF Files no Longer Opens in AE

    This is for .MXF files shot on a Canon XF300.  Things were working fine, but suddenly I am unable to open those mxf files in AE CS6.  Even projects previously created with AE CS6 now won't open, and give me the 'file damaged or unsupported' error message in AE. The file locations are identical.   I've found workarounds, but they fall a very long way short of the convenience of using Dynamic Link from the Premiere Pro CS6 timeline.  There are lots of hits if you Google, but most go back a version or two, or suggest converting the MXF clips to an AE friendly format.  Like I say... doable, but it used to work fine, and I'd love to fix it so I can get back to using AE direct from Premiere Pro.  Any help would be much appreciated.   [EDIT]  Other file types are working fine.

    Hi Klaus, and thanks for responding.   When I first got the error, I went back to older comps made with MXF files from the same camera, and now they are problematic as well, but not in the same way.  Any new MXF file I try to use in AE, whether from a PP timeline, or open directly from the AE projects panel, gives me the 'file damaged or unsupported' error message.  One of the older projects created with MXF files does in fact open, but is badly broken up when scrubbing the AE timeline.  That seems to be similar to problems I've found with Google.  It used to work fine, and now it doesn't. AE is 11.0.2.12  which I suspect is a new version than when I made the last project.  System is Win7  3039K @ 4.2Ghz, 32Gb RAM, and GTX570.  Project drive is raid0 with two 2nd gen Velociraptors.  One other raid0 drive.  Lots of drives totalling 14Tb.    It won't be the end of the world if I have to transcode a few clips, but it used to work, so I'm thinking it should be fixable.

  • 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.
    Z.

  • Why is CS4 putting wrong dates on files?

    Moved my CS4 from XP computer to new Windows7 computer. All seemed fine for a week.
    Now when I create or change a file, it does not put correct date on file (e.g., instead of 5/30/11 it will put 3/26/10 or on 6/2 it will show a date of 5/3/11 on the file). Wrong date shows in Explorer too but when I right click the file, the correct date is shown in properties. I can open the file in Adobe if I type in the filename.
    System date, clock, etc. are all fine.  No other program (Access, Word, Flash) does this
    Don't know if there's a connection but I did move over my preference/preset files from the XP just before this happens. I'd appreciate any help....thanks

    Aha!  Your Explorer view is displaying the Date Taken, which is of course the date the image was originally captured (and which is stored in the EXIF data within the file).
    That it is different from the Modification Date normally seen in Details view is because Explorer tries to show you a view of your files that can differ depending on the types of files it senses you have in the folder.  A real head-scratcher if you don't expect it.
    You can alter this behavior, on a folder by folder basis, by right-clicking the folder, choosing Properties, clicking the Customize tab, then choosing General Items.
    What many don't know is that you can set the behavior Windows-wide to ALWAYS show General Items views for all new folders (i.e., circumventing the derivation of what Customization to make by looking at the files) by this process, excerpted from my Windows 7 tuning guide.  Note that it involves adding an item to the registry with regedit - BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS:
    Configure Explorer
    Do not set Folder Types but use "General Items" for all by adding the following string value to the registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\
    Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]
    FolderType                           REG_SZ                NotSpecified
