Change direction of video shot with Canon Powershot SX20IS

Hoping someone might know how to help me.
I was at my stepsister's wedding over the weekend and did some video as well as pictures.
I am trying to change the direction of the videos I shot. I shot the father daughter dance vertically to get her dress and such in the video perfectly, I was hoping that I could rotate it so that we would not be watching the video sideways on the disc I am burning for them.
Does anyone know how to change the direction either in the program (windows media player or something like that) or if there is some kind of free video editing software online that would do this??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you rotate a still image, that is all you are working with - that one single image, so many of the newer digital cameras can handle that within the camera, but a movie is nothing more than a series of hundreds of "still" images. To rotate the movie, every singe image (frame) must be rotated. That is a little more than most of the current crop of cameras can handle, so it has to be done externally. For instructions on rotating a movie with Windows Movie Maker, see the following link:

or for a free downloadable program, see:

Good luck !

Does Premiere E support video shot with Canon 5D or Sony XDCAM EX?

Does anyone know if I can edit video shot with Canon 5D or Sony XDCAM EX? I did some research but can't find the answer!

Which version of PrE are you looking into? PrE 10 has DSLR Presets that cover the Canon 5D. Not sure about the XDCAM EX, but this ARTICLE covers the supported formats. I know that PrPro CS 5.5 offers full, native support for XDCAM footage, but do not see it in the PrE list.
Good luck,

IMovie footage shot with Canon XL2 looks exports to m4v which looks lousy

Video shot with Canon XL2, captured/imported into iMovie, it looks good in iMovie but when sharing it, it turns into m4v. Is this correct? Burned DVD in iDVD and it looks lousy. Isn't it supposed to be a mov file and not m4v?

Does that require me to get rid of my 100 Hz or 200 Hz screen and exchange it for a 24 Hz screen?
No. This stuff looks equally good on CRT, Plasma or LCD. (Though I do recommend leaving off such things as 100 Hz modes, as they have a tendency to produce the opposite effect, making film look more like video.)
Film shot at 24 FPS is shown as 48 half frames,
Where on earth did you get that idea? Film is always shown theatrically as whole frames, whether 24 or 48 fps.
When will you send me the ticket?
Opening day for my first fiction project will be in my cousin's basement home theater, on a 9 foot screen with overhead projection. I'll let you know when the release date approaches. Better get your ticket early, though. I'm expecting a line all the way around the shed, stretching clear to the garbage cans.

Compare: video shot with an iPhone to that shot with an iPad?

Has anyone compared video shot with an iPhone to that shot with an iPad Touch, and edited on an iPad with iMovie?
What was the results? Is the iPhones camera significantly better than an iPod Touch for video?
Thanks,
Hal

Yes. The iPhone camera is superior.

Using HD 1080i60 shot with sony z1 and 24p shot with canon in a sequence.

is it possible to use two different kind of footage( one is HD 1080i60 shot with sony z1 and the other one is HD 24p shot with canon) in a sequence? if not what should I do?

Yes, it's possible. Make your sequence with the settings of the material you shot more of, and the other one will be rendered to those settings when you bring it in.
For a more consistent look between the two, you may want to look into this:

What is the best FC Pro Easy Set up for video shot with an iPhone 4?

what is the best FC Pro Easy Set up for video shot with an iPhone 4?

There isn't one. You have to convert the media to one of the ProRes codecs, probably ProRes LT would work best. You need to do this in Compressor.
Easy setup isn't relevant as it's options are for tape based media, which this isn't.

Problems with transitions and HD video from a Canon Powershot....

Hello:
First of all thanks a lot for taking the time to look at the question.
I have recently bought a Canon PowerShot SX200 IS, mainly for photos but it can also record HD video.
The videos it makes are H.264, 1280 x 720, Millions
PCM lineal, 16 bit little-endian entero firmado, 1 canales, 44100 Hz and are .mov
I have a Mac Pro, 2.66 with 5GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB videocard.
and finally my Final Cut is 6.0.6
__Ok, so here´s the problem:__
I can play the videos on Final Cut with no problem, it just has to render the music but when I want to use any dissolve it doesn´t work, well it doesn´t work with any transition at all between the same videos of the canon or with others formats.
To explain a little better I give you an example. I drag the cross dissolve to two different videos of the same camera and they don´t stick or sometimes it only sticks on one of them, but mainly it doesn´t stick.
Any ideas?
If you need more info please let me know.

*ohh, thanks Nick :)*
Now I get it, this solves so many question of failed transitions that I never realized over the years, hehe. +I know I say that it was the first time but with the answer I just get it that I had this problem before but I didn´t connect with this one :(+
Now it seems so obvious that I feel a little dumb but it´s better 15 minutes of stupidity that a whole life of it Well in my case it was like 4 years but it´s better than a life time, hehe.
Thank you all for thanking the time to answer my question.

IPhoto CRASHES when I try ti import short video shot with my Canon Rebel..HELP!!!

HELP! I have a Canon Rebel EOS T3i. I shoot many wonderful still pixs. I have also shot some video (movies) during recent cruise which I was able to download and edit properly and include it in my overall Cruise Album.
I have been editing all this on iMovie,importing the photos, videos, adding titles, effexs. etc. Suddenly -TODAY- iPhoto is not letting me shoot an additional short video to include in the Album. When I IMPORT the video from the Canon into iPhoto, and click PLAY, iPhoto CRASHES! Something is wrong and I don't know what it is.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

IPod Video and camera connector with Canon PowerShot Pro1

Does anybody have a new iPod video with a camera connector and a Canon PowerShot Pro1? I'm having trouble downloading images to my iPod?
Every time I connect the camera to my iPod, I get the message on the iPod screen that says "no card inserted".
I've tried 3 different memory cards in my camera with the same results.
HELP?
Jason

Don't know about the Pro 1. My Canon XT works fine. In the menu for the XT, I have COMMUNICATION: My choices are A)Print/PCP and 2)PC Connection. Print/PCP must be selected for it to work on mine. Check the menu of your Pro 1.

Fundamental importing problems with Canon PowerShot

when i connect my camera, a Canon PowerShot SD300 [digital elph] to my new MacBook Pro and turn the camera on, it opens iPhoto [6.0.6] and asks if i would like to import photos. i click "import," and tell it not to import duplicates. it tells me the count remaining and says its importing. i can wait any length of time and the number never goes down.
it has sort of successfully imported photos in the past [hence the 'do not import previous' above], but it seems to skip some photos and also downloads the same movies [avi's] each time.
is this bizarre behavior common? thanks for any help!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) iPhoto 6.0.6 (322)

Dan,
There is a problem with iPhoto 6 not respecting the "do not import duplicates" when importing directly from cameras. It obeys better when importing from a folder already on your hard drive.
iPhoto can also balk at longer video clips. I can import shorter clips (under 1 minute) directly into iPhoto, but have had iPhoto crash with long (3 minutes or more) clips.
Here's how I import from my Canon. I place the card in a USB card reader. This mounts on the Desktop as an external drive. [Many cameras do this, but most Canon models do not.] When I plug the card reader into my USB hub, I ignore iPhoto's "ready to import" dialog. Instead, I do File > Import to Library. I navigate to my camera card on the desktop, where I can preview the photos and select only the ones I need to import. I import all the pictures first. When they are in my library, I go back and select the video clips, one at a time. It can take a few minutes to import one, and there is no progress indicator, so I have to wait patiently.
If iPhoto crashes on the video clips, I open Image Capture, choose "Download Some" and select one clip at a time to upload to my Desktop. Given enough time, the clips will import successfully. Once on the Desktop, iPhoto has not had any trouble importing them.
If you don't have a card reader, you can use Image Capture to import all the files from your camera. Upload to a folder on your Desktop, then import that folder to iPhoto and delete it when done. In Image Capture's Preferences is the setting for what happens when you connect your camera or card reader. You can leave it set to iPhoto, change it to Image Capture, or set it to Nothing.
If you have had to cancel an import, then there may be an extra folder inside your iPhoto Library folder. In the Finder look just inside Pictures/ iPhoto Library and see if there is a folder called "Import" (or "Importing"). If there is, drag it out to your Desktop and see if it contains photos that you need for your library. Make no other changes inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder, as changes made this way can damage your library. If there is no Import folder, then you are in good shape.
Regards.

Problems with Canon PowerShot SD450 movies and iPhoto (6.0.2)

I recently got a Canon PowerShot SD450 and got a 2GB memory stick for it. I took some movies with the SD450 but am having a **** of a time getting iPhoto to pull movies off the camera that are > 500MB, give or take. Small movies are fine. I've downloaded movies that are 10MB, 50MB, 200MB, all fine.
When I have a > 500MB movie in the camera, iPhoto will try to download it; The hard drive will spin and grind for a few minutes as it, from what I can gather, downloads the movie and then iPhoto will say import complete, but the movie doesn't show up in the library.
Anyone aware of any limitations with iPhoto in that regard? Clip size or something?

Hi Jason,
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

XML files from CR2 files shot with Canon 7D do not save???

I opened a bunch of images shot with a Canon 7D through the Raw Processor in Bridge CS5. AFter making adjustments I clicked the "Done" button thinking the XML files would be upgraded. Nothing happens. What am I doing wrong. With all my other files this works perfectly.

everyone that is having this problem I think I have solved it.
Short quick answer so you dont have to read further. Check your date/time setting on your camera, it's probably wrong.
Longer version:
I too have a Canon 7D and the other day I had taken some pictures of my son with santa and was experiencing the same problem. I could edit in camera raw, but the changes would not save. I would not get the little icon next to the image either.Every other image worked fine except for the ones I took that day. I was chalking it up to maybe a bad import of the images and maybe somethign was corrupting. but I was still able to open them and edit and save psd's so I wasnt too worried yet.
Today we went out and took some images of holiday lights and I came home downloaded the images and the same issue happened again. I went back to the santa pictures and I could edit them and the changes were saving now. So I googled and came across this post. Once I saw you too were having the same problem but it went away the next day, and another person was only having a issue with one camera I figured it had to be a setting in the camera.
And since the problem goes away with time I decided to check my time on my camera and it was set to 12/22 (today is 12/21). So I corrected the time took a test shot and downloaded it to the computer and it works perfectly again.
Hope this helps!

Video capture with Canon HF10 and Vista 64

I cannot get Premier Elements 7 to capture videos from my Canon HF 10 camera.
I am using Window Vista 64, Premier Elements 7 that I just installed, and a Canon Vixia HF 10 video camera.
The computer will identify the camera. I can import video using the Pixela ImageMixer software that came with the camera. And, I can capture the video into Premier Elements 7 once I have the video clip as a file on the computer.
Obviously, I would prefer to just directly capture the video with Premier Elements 7.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to resolve the problem?

Ted,
Welcome to the forum.
Now, I could not find your camera on the CanonUSA site. Is it a UK/European model? Looking at the US models with similar #'s, it appears that the only connection offered is USB 2.0. Is that correct?
If so, there will be one major problem. With a rare exception, PrE will only Capture via FireWire. If this camera does not have FireWire, then one must use other means to get the files onto the computer, and then into PrE. That is why it has been recommended that one use the included software to transfer the image files. This is an unfortunate fact of life. As the USB 2.0 connection is horribly slow, even on the fastest of computers, there will be the problem of how long this will take.
The decision to not include FW was one made my Canon. Many manufacturers are making the same decision, as it keeps costs down on their consumer cameras. It does not help the user, however, if they really wish to edit the footage. What would be a one-step process with a miniDV tape camera w/ FW is now at least a two-step process and a slow one at that.
There is likely not going to be any cure from Adobe's end, unless they rework the Capture module, or add a second USB one, and that will not be until PrE 8, if even then. [This is my prediction and not from any knowledge of Adobe's plans.]
Good luck,
Hunt

Accessing raw file taken with Canon Powershot G16 using Elements 11

I own adobe photoshop elements 11, which I have used successfully for the past 18 months or so with my Canon Powershot G15 camera. I recently upgraded to the Canon Powershot G16 but was disappointed to find that elements 11 does not recognise the raw files taken with the G16. I have tried various intenet forum fixes to no avail. I would rather not go to the expense of purchasing Photoshop Elements 12 to remedy this shortcoming, particularly as Elements 11 more than meets my current photoediting needs. I would be grateful for information on any patches etc that might allow me to access raw files taken with the G16 without have to resort to purchasing Elements 12.

after much consternation I have discovered that the problem is APERTURE. Despite claiming that the program is compatible with the G16 RAW files it really is NOT. I had to download Canon's own photoediting and viewing software....and guess what no problem at all editing, viewing any of the files.
I tried them in Lightroom too and guess what...no problem at all!
So although Aperture has been like an old friend it is time to say bye bye and make the big trek over the Lightroom!
Sad but relieved.
