Canon 60D work flow

I have just purchased the Canon 60d and would like some advice on editing work flow. Right now I have not upgraded to fcp 7. Would this make a difference when using the tape-less workflow? How about a RAM recommendation for DSLR HD editing? Any other advice that might help me ease into editing footage from this camera.
Thanks

FCP 7 will give you more options with ProRes. Proxy, LQ, 4444 in addition to SQ and HQ available in FCP 6.
Be sure to copy the entire card to your hard drive when transfering your content.
Don't edit the native H264 files, convert to ProRes LQ or SQ is good enough.
RAM isn't an issue so long as you have a minimum of 4Gb, (all that FCP can access) add more if you run a number apps at once.

Hard drive, backup, work flow help

Hi--
I need some help figuring out what to do....You can tell I have a little bit of knowledge but am now dangerous.
I have a Mac Book Pro with approx 111.47 GB full and 815 available. I have 250 external portable filled with my iphoto stuff. I know I need more space. I use my computer for graphic design so my file sizes are often quite high.
I work in my home office mostly.
I also like to work in my family room (wirelessly using ATT-Uverse 2wire) and think I have router to plug in via ethernet to other computers and my printer. It is a pain to drag the portable HD along so I don't always use it.
I need a solution to give me more HD space....
Should I upgrade my internal hard drive? How do I do this? What do I do with my data?
Do I buy another bigger external hard drive? Can I work wirelessly so I don't have to drag this everywhere?
I also have purchased timecapsule when it first came out, but have no idea how I should use it (still in box)
I also travel and work away from home and need access to my files sometimes.
On old my desktop computer I had it setup with 2 external drives (one as extra space and one where my desktop backed up to the other external)--that seemed to work okay--but now all of these are full.
HELP!!!
Additionally, when I'm in my office, I want to hook up to a larger monitor when I'm at my desk. How do I do this?
Many thanks for any help you can give....

It sounds as though you have a drive with a nominal capacity of 120GB (actual capacity as reported by Leopard, about 112GB), and it's 99% full. That's a recipe not just for slowness and inconvenience, but for disaster. At any moment your operating system and/or applications may run completely out of places for the data they need to squirrel away temporarily in the course of normal operations, with the result that apps will quit without warning or the computer will freeze, crash, or kernel panic — losing whatever unsaved files are open, perhaps damaging the hard drive directory, and perhaps as a result of that damage, losing data that was securely saved before.
You need to maintain a bare minimum of 10GB of free space at all times on a drive that size. More is better. You will want to delete at least 10GB of files from it ASAP, preferably before you use it to do any more work you can't afford to lose. OS X is very good about tolerating a less-than-optimal working environment, but you have its tolerance stretched to the breaking point right now. Don't make it snap.
The fact that your drive is only 120GB indicates that you have an older, non-unibody MBP. If that's true, you can't put a 750GB hard drive inside it, but you can still use a 640GB or 500GB drive. The installation is more difficult than installing in one of the unibody machines to which this group of forums is devoted, but you can still do it yourself if you're reasonably handy. Identify your MBP for us by processor speed, display size, and its Model Identifier (from the System Profiler utility app), and we'll be able to provide a link to DIY drive replacement instructions for it. Given the work habits you describe, replacing your undersized internal hard drive would still be the best first step for you to take, even if you have to pay a technician to install the new drive.

Work Flow Help

Hi,
I'm working on a project and need to know what a good
approach is.
I have about 50 videos.
There will be a main main and several sub menus.
The sub menu options will take the users to a page that
displays a video to one side and then text on the other.
The text will change during the video, as there will be too
much to fit it all on screen at one time.
I have someone working with me who will be giving me the text
in a swf file.
What is the best way of making this project?
I was thinking that, since each page will have a video and
text in the same dimensions. I would pass on the name of the video
and swf file from the menu button on to a new movie clip?
Sorry, I don't have that great a grasp of action script. I'm
just looking for a way to do it that doesn't mean making a seperate
movie for each bit of video+text.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Not looking to
get work done for me, just a point in the right direction.
Cheers

Hi
I am not great with AS either but there are times that we
just have to
dive into that because it is the only way :)
I would create an xml file with all the video data. Something
like:
<data>
<video id=0>
<title> This is my Video 1</title>
<description> This is the text for each
video</description>
</video>
<video id=1>
<title> This is my Video 1</title>
<description> This is the text for each
video</description>
</video>
</data>
Then read about how to load an xml in Flash. This is a very
common task
so there are lots of resources available an a few ways of
doing i. AS3
uses something called E4x which makes "navigating" through
the xml
easier than before.
So just play with trying to trace the information inside the
xml in the
output window .. once you have the hang of that, you can
start to build
your app.
I would convert all the videos to flv using the included
encoder that
comes with flash. Save all of them where your swf will live.
On layer 1, frame 1 you could have your menu bar movie clip
or you can
use the menu bar component to save you time
On layer 2 all you need is an instance of the flv playback
component and
next to it a text field component that can have a scrollbar
to fit all text.
The AS script would "bind' the data "video id" to each of
your menu
options and once that is clicked, call a function that
updates the
components on layer 2 with the new loaded video and text.
There are many ways of doing this but this is how I would do
it :) I
like using components because most of the code is already
available so
you dont need to re write, you just need to know how to
"talk" to them.
Hope it helps

Work flow help - forward a date field by a specified call frequency

Hi There, I have a 'Last Call Date' field and a 'Call Frequency' picklist with values 'Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly'. I would like to forward another field called 'Next Call Date' according to the call frequency chosen.
Is it also possible to automatically create a task to make that 'Next Call' and populate my calendar?
Thanks

Domenic,
It won't do what you want it to do, the task due date will only forward from the date the workflow ran. But i do vaguely remember finding in the help files somewhere a way to add to a date. So you could possibly create a new field called forward call date and have the workflow update this date with last call date + x days.
I found this in the help file under Expression Builder - Today ()
Today's date and time (for example, 01/02/08 11:15:22).
It is possible to perform calculations with date-time fields in
calculated fields. When a number is entered in a date-time
field, days are represented by integers; hours, minutes and
seconds are represented by fractions.
For example, to add one minute to the current date and
time, use the following expression, which is derived from
the fact that one day has 1440 minutes:
Timestamp() + 1/1440
Can't help any more than this as I've not tried to add to a date field, maybe someone else has another idea?
Good luck
cheers
Alex

I upgraded to mountain lion and now iMovie dose not see my Canon XHA1 . Can anyone help?

I upgraded from the app store. It is actually quite awhile ago so I do not remember how. I think I used a thumbdrive to create some type of file. No I do not have any backups. My iLife CD is nowhere to be found because this is a very old macbook pro that I've had for a couple years.
Thanks for taking the time to help

Hi,
you can use a CONDITION step to achieve this requirement. Try the following link, it may not exactly match your requirement but will give you a clear idea on how to proceed,

I recently updated my computer to 10.6 and now I can't get my printer MX340 (canon ) to work. I have installed the new drivers both from Canon's website and from an earlier post directly from apples website. I would surely appreciate some help with this.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

A Good Work Flow For FCP 5.0 using Canon's HV20

I am using FCP 5.0 on an intel iMac, 1.8ghz, 1gig of RAM, running FCP 5.0
I'd like advice on a good work flow in terms of the proper project settings,
capture settings, and compressor settings for a good burn to DVD.
I use the 24p element on the HV20, but I am not really interested in editing native
as I won't be going back to film, just DVD.
Pointers anyone?

There's this:
http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=188809
And this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306389
But yeah, you have to get FCP 6. 5.1 was only released to those who shipped off their 5.0 disks, so finding copies for sale will be tough. And FCP 5 was BARELY into HDV editing...forget 24p. You need to get a later version of the software.

Help Needed with Work Flow

Hi all
I am very new at this. I got a new task to fix an existing Work Flow. The portion that needs to be fixed is: it shoots an e-mail to get approval when a changed rate is greater then its Standard rate. Now the problem is there are multiple standard rate for a single entry. So we need to pick the lowest one from all the entry for that record.
So I need to insert a loop where it picks the standard rate. but i can't figure out how to tell the loop to end when there are no more standard rate for that record and also pick the minimum one.
I am not sure these description is enough or not.
If not please let me know what else you need to know.
thanks

Anyone? Bueller?
Ah well, I knew that I probably was cutting into some newer territory here...
Once I get it figured out, I'll post what I've learned about this activity for everyone to share.
Cheers,

FCP 7 will not see my Canon XHA1S

I have just bought a new *Canon XHA1S* HD Camcorder and made a few clips, all HD 1080i 50 (PAL). I have tried connect the camera via the 400 (6 pin) Firewire socket on the camera to the 800 on the MAC Pro. No matter what I try the MAC has no idea it exists. I have tried removing all other firewire devices .. making sure the camera is powered and on VCR with the FW cable in before starting FCP7 no joy. Also have tried iMovie 9 too, it also sees no camera. The cable and port on the MAC are fine to verify this I connected the same cable to a small external FW drive and it worked first time. I have adjusted various FCP settings and on the XHA1S too .. I now have very little hair left all pulled out .. all help is gratefully received !! HELP PLEASE !!

Hi Jim.
I just use the HDV 1080i50 Firewire Basic Easy Setup, which is preferable for Canon equipment. Everything works fine.
With regard to camera settings, I just put the cam in VTR mode and make sure it's set up for HDV. Downconversion should of course be OFF if you want to capture HDV. (By the way I've found it's necessary to disconnect the firewire cable to enable/disable HD downconversion, not that that's relevant to your immediate problem.)
The camera setting AV->DV should be OFF. (On is for when you're recording straight to the camera using the RCA analogue inputs.
Sometimes the XHA1's VTR is a little finicky in and refuses to switch properly between HDV and DV. Make sure the correct format is showing in blue in the camera's mode selector dial (when you switch it to VTR mode).
That's all I can think of - but of course the more unpalatable possibility is that the camera's firewire port is not working. They're pretty delicate; you have to be very careful inserting the cables, but I'm sure you've been careful with it.
Do you know anyone else with a know working system (or a working XH-A1 that you could borrow?)
If you're in Dublin anytime soon I'd be happy to let you try your camera on my own system. (My email is in my profile, though not in the usual place).
Hope this helps.

Cant not upload pictures from my SD card into FCE through canon xha1s

Cant not upload pictures from my SD card into FCE through canon xha1s firewire. Is there another way? The strange part is when I originally hooked my canon up to the Imac iphoto saw the camcorder as a device and I do not what has happen since then. I just bought the camcorder and would like to take advantage of the photo capabilities as well as the video. All help would be greatly appreciated.

The card video stuff will most likely load into iPhoto when you tranfer the stills. USB connection only.
The video on the card will be a highly compressed, small dimensioned format and won't work directly with FCE and not over firewire in any shape or form.
However, you could take the clips from iPhoto and convert them to an FCE freindly format such as the DV codec. Streamclip is a free application that can do the job.
