Comment charger du AVCHD sur final cut express

Je possède une camera Canon HF S21 qui film en AVCHD, ce format n'est pas accepté par Final Cut Express 4 sur mon MAC iMac 27". Je dois donc charger mes rushes sur iMovies, puis alors les transférer dans Final Cut, mais évidemment avec perte de qualité car passé par plusieurs codec! Existe t-il une solution sans devoir passer par Final Cut Pro ?

L'appareil devrait fonctionner avec FCE4.0.1. Les médias capturés dans iMovie est lemême que les médias ingéré dans FCE dans le journal et le transfert,

Canon AVCHD to final cut express on macbook. Help.

I just bought a CANON Vixia HE R20 AVCHD camera. I used log and transfer to get the clip onto final cut express 4. But when I add the selection to the queue, an icon comes up under status that says: error: no data. What do I do??

The files have not been converted, they were taken straight off the camera.
And I'm not really sure what you mean by media specifications, because I don't know much about the camera I'm using.
No, I only have 4.0

Import of AVCHD causes Final Cut Express to crash

Hi
I am trying to import clips from AVCHD (Canon HG10). I go to file>log and transfer and select the clip. When I click on Add lip to queue it starts and then Final Cut Express crashes. Is there an update? Am I doing something wrong?
Please help.
I have a 2 x 2.66 dual core intel Xeon computer with 5 gig of RAM.
Thanks

Hello
I'm not sure if this is relevant:
I've been using the Quicktime Conversion settings;

29.97 Frame Rate
Highest Quality
NTSC/PRO
I was under the impression that this was usually best - haven't had any problems with iDVD

AVCHD in Final Cut Express HD?

I just got myself a Canon HG10, I have final cut express HD. Is there a way to get Final Cut Express HD to support AVCHD?

There's the Voltaic converter (http://shedworx.com/), but that might be more complicated than upgrading to FCE4, unless you're using a PPC Mac or there's some other reason why FCE4's AVCHD support won't work for you.

AVCHD to Final Cut Express

So I am having troubles doing a log and transfer from my Sony CX550. For one, final cut express won't recognize the camera in log and transfer, but my macbook does. It is a multi-format camera (AVCHD and MPEG2). I also am using a USB connection. I removed all MPEG2 clips from my camera to see if it would recognize it and it still did not. I have tried every tutorial, every discussion forum, nothing. I just want to be able to log and transfer AVCHD directly to FCE version 4.0.1.

Choose the AVCHD Easy Setup that matches how you shot your video. Normally that would be AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 (if you are in the States).
Then create a new sequence (File > New > Sequence) before ingesting the video from your camera via Log & Transfer.
ps.I thnk the problem you had stemmed from not having selected the correct FCE Easy Setup before trying to capture/ingest your video clips.
pps. While FCE can't capture/ingest MPEG2 clips from your camcorder, the mere existence of MPEG2 clips in your camcorder shouldn't interfere with capturing/ingesting the AVCHD clips.

What is the correct way to import AVCHD into Final Cut Express?

The Final Cut Expres user manual (p. 221) says to import AVCHD footage with HDV Apple Intermediate Codec: "Important: Use the HDV - Apple Intermediate Codec Easy Setup for ingesting AVCHD footage."
But, Easy Setup has options for both HDV AIC AND AVCHD AIC. Why are there choices for AVCHD if the manual says to import AVCHD with HDV?

The manual is incorrect/human error/typo.
HDV and AVCHD do share the Apple Intermediate Codec as all this incoming footage will be converted to AIC so FCE can work with it on a frame by frame basis.
Call up the FCE>Easy Setups and look at the options.
You will notice 6 options (FCE 4.0.1) for 1080i with differing frame sizes and frame rates.
Only ONE of these is correct for the type of footage to be captured/ingested from the camera.
You need to know what the camera settings are, then output to FCE with an exact matching Easy Setup.
These days one camera can be set to different options making this decision one based on knowing how to operate the camera menu and select the right options.
When an FCE Easy Setup is changed only NEW Sequences will reflect the change not existing ones. In fact, in many cases, if the Easy Setup and incoming footage don't match it simply won't work causing the user to curse the Apple software.
First step is to select the correct Easy Setup then capture/ingest.
For AVCHD it will be an AVCHD - Apple Intermediate Codec........................
Example:
Camera has shot AVCHD 1920x1080i50
Easy Setup will be AVCHD - Apple Intermedaite Codec 1920x1080i50
The above example is for PAL interlaced, that's what i50 means.
NOTE: FCE will not work directly with p (progressive) footage so make sure your camera shoots i (interlaced).

Minimum Hardware Requirement for AVCHD-Video & Final Cut Express 4

Hey there,
I am currently searching for a computer to cut my private HDTV-Video (AVCHD format) and tend from rather buying a 4-core water-cooled Windows-PC to switch to a mobile apple solution.
Who knows which models of the current MacBook Pro - line are fast enough to handle AVCHD-Videomaterial in real-time? Is a 13inch 2,4GHZ Core 2 Duo fast enough, or the 2,66GHz version required, or even the 15inch with the better graphic card an issue?
Thanks,
Tom

You can edit AVCHD without to much of a problem on any Mac model. Most operations can be done realtime, though some it will be impossible to pull of in realtime. If you are using Final Cut, the operations that can be performed real-time are clearly indicated. Those that aren't realtime are typically things that go beyond basic composition.
For non-realtime manipulations, the speed is directly proportional to the CPU and bus speeds of the Mac.
When you export your finally rendered edits, however, that process can take time, depending on the nature of the transcoding and rendering involved. There's not much you can do about that. Even a dozen CPUs won't typically speed that up. However, there's hope that future versions of iMovie and Final Cut will support GPU-accelerated codecs that will improve that situation a lot.
That said, what's really important for video editing is: gobs of fast storage, and a really big display. Imagine that you are editing 1080i content. At full resolution, that's 1080x1920 pixels. If you're video editor is a typical NLE, you've got to accommodate the timeline window, the viewer, the canvas, and the clip library on screen all at once. In a pinch, you might be able to work with a tiny screen on the go (with the windows overlapping one another, or tabbing between them), but you're going to want to do most of your work using something with a LOT of pixels. AND, if you are doing it professionally, you're going to want to make sure that the displays are properly color-calibrated.

AVCHD and Final Cut Express

When Apple says you must have an Intel processor to use AVCHD with FCE, they are not kidding! If you have an Intel Mac, you can import AVCHD in the 'log and tranfer' window. There you can view and import clips from your HD camera with a hard disk. However, if you have a Power PC Mac, it will most definitely not work. This is all in the manual by the way. I just learned this the hard way.
I bought a Canon HG-10, recorded a few minutes of video, and tried to get it into FCE. After some time poking around in the software, a phone call to Canon and doing a search for "AVCHD" in the PDF manual, I found out, my PPC Mac was SOL.
The manual also says that if I did have the Intel chip, it would format convert the files using the Apple Intermediate Codec and the resulting files will be TEN TIMES bigger. That would mean that if I fill up the 40 GB hard disk on the HG-10 just once, and then import it using FCE, it would become 400 GIGS!!! Yikes.
So that would make the whole idea of AVCHD a giant bust for me. Sounds like I'm definitely gonna stay tape based if I go HD at all. Of course I found all this out after I purchased the HG-10. Hopefully I can help someone out there in cyberland to be better informed.

Here's a very good explanation on why AVCHD isn't edited natively.

AVCHD Files & Final Cut Express

Hi,
I'm using a Panasonic TZ20 camera that records in HD using AVCHD files and had intended to use FCE to edit & play the videos. However the Mac doesn't regognise the files. Can someone explain in very basic terms how i can get around this problem, if it's possible??
Many thanks,

Why is AVCHD distorted in Final Cut Express

I inported AVCHD into Final Cut Express using the recommended HDV Apple Internediate codec but my clips appear way overexposed and pixelated. They look great when I hook the camera up to a TV though.

Thanks for your help. I have used HDV for years with good success. This is my first AVCHD project though.

FINAL CUT EXPRESS 4.0.1 WON'T OPEN!!! DESPERATE HELP!!!!

Every time I open Final Cut it says "Final Cut Express cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Final Cut Express works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X." There isn't anything in the Waveform Cache Files, Autosave Vault, Thumbnail (except Final Cut Express Thumbnail Data), Audio Render Files, Render Files (except Constant Frames), nor is there anything in Capture Scratch. I have been clearing up space on my hard drive recently, and I think I might have deleted the Capture Scratch contents (if that does anything). Do I need to reinstall? If so, how? And, also, I have installed it on my old computer once and my new computer (old one broke from stupid HP Printer) with the same disk, does Final Cut Express 4.0.1 only come with two Serial Numbers?

Was FCE working before (on this Mac), and is this a change in behavior? Or did you just now install FCE and can't get it running the first time?
Exactly what model MacBook do you have, and exactly what version of 10.6 is installed on it?
If your MacBook originally had Leopard (10.5), was FCE installed before you upgraded your MacBook to Snow Leopard? If so, you really should uninstall FCE and reinstall it from scratch.
Also, FCE has to be installed in an admin account, and must be run at least once in that same account before you can run it in any other accounts on your Mac.

AVCHD and Snow Leopard (I-Movie / Final Cut Express)

AVCHD and Snow Leopard. I have been using Final Cut Express 4 and I-Movie 08 since they both came out. I have been using the same AVCHD camcorder (Cannon HG10) with both programs, and it has worked perfectly. Now I have installed 10.6 and 10.6.1 and now neither program will allow AVCHD transfer. Both recognize the camcorder but won't transfer.
A little poking around on the internet and I discovered that Snow Leopard won't support AVCHD (http://www.shedworx.com/no-avchd-in-snow-leopard). Third party web site mind you.
So far I agree it won’t work with AVCHD. Now since both programs were developed to use one of the most widely utilized formats in HD camcorders, again AVCHD, this accidental or intentional over site smells of Microsoft, not Apple.
I like some of the features of Snow Leopard but for me the video aspect is one of the top requirements. Apple had been the leader in the multimedia revolution and this mis-step with AVCHD is it’s typical of Apple.
I have just restored back to 10.5 and every thing is working again.
Now that were around the block here is the question. If anyone can come up with a solution…that does not include the used of third party software to convert, please let me know.
And to Apple, please fix this problem, I’m already hearing the complaints with QuickTime X, and seen the headlines, “Snow Leopard, is it Apples Vista?”.

This is, to be polite, a misunderstanding. Shedworx are being careless with their terminology.
1. SL itself does not support AVCHD, but neither did Leopard.
2. AVCHD support is built in to the movie editing software (iMOvie, FCE, FCP), exactly as it was in 10.5
3. I am happily editing AVCHD from my HG10 in iMovie 09 and in FCP, in exactly the same way I did under 10.5
So you have a specific issue with your camera, you've taken that with some carelessness from Shedworx, and on that basis you've decided, incorrectly, that Apple does not/will not support AVCHD.
There were many cases under Leo where people reported problems getting their camera to communicate with iMovie. Solutions include:
1. Trashing iMovie preference files
2. Repairing permissions
3. Copying the AVCHD folder tree from the camera to disk, and importing to iMovie from there
4. Using MPEG Streamclip to convert the camera footage before importing to iMovie
5.Making sure the camera is running on mains power, not battery, and that it's in playback mode.

Can you edit AVCHD footage from a DSLR in Final Cut Express?

We're planning on using a DSLR that shoots AVCHD video as a B Camera on a shoot that will be edited in Final Cut Express for posting on You Tube. Will this work in Final Cut Express?

Yes, provided you convert the video to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec before importing it into FCE.
Many users like MPEG Streamclip for this purpose, and it does a great job.
If you are using a Canon DSLR there is a plugin for Final Cut Pro but not for Final Cut Express, so you have to convert the video yourself before importing into FCE. (In Final Cut Pro, the EOS E1 plugin allows you to directly Log & Transfer from the 5D and 7D).

Capturing AVCHD straight to Final cut express

I have a Canon vixia HF10 camera that films in AVCHD. Mostly i have been importing to IMovie but I am trying to learn how to capture it straight into Final Cut Express. Any Help with how i can import the AVCHD files?

Hi,
You need to plug in your camera to your Mac, turn on the camera, and then go to the Log and Transfer window under the File menu. Your camera will show up there with all your individual files. You can select which one (or even parts of the files) you want to import. It's pretty easy; I have the same camera. Bear in mind, you need to have shot your material in FXP (the highest quality HD) in order for FCE to import it (at least, that's what I've read, and I haven't bothered to test the lower quality stuff for importing). Hope this helps.

Backup AVCHD Camcorder using Final Cut Express

I have previously used Final Cut Express to create a backup copy of all the video on my AVCHD Hard Drive Camcorder. However, since that time, I had to reinstall Final Cut Express. I can no longer remember or find how to do this again. Can someone please help? Did apple remove this functionality?

I just purchased FCE 4 with a new iMac but haven't used it yet. But I do know that iMovie '09 has an Archive feature that will do what you are looking for. It copies the contents of the camera in it's original Full HD format to the hard drive. I do this then import the video to iMovie using the compressed file type. With the original on the hard drive, you can always re-import to iMovie '09 (and FCE 4, I presume) if you want to use the Full HD original format at a later date.
