Convert canon 60D for FCE.
im using the canon 60D. footage is shot at full 1080p HD at 24p. how do i import into FCE? question 2 i also purchased action essentials 2 stock FX footage 720p High Definition: [ 1280 X 720 ] The 720p Version is ideal for SD and 720p work but many of the elements work great with 1080i projects as well. Especially effects like muzzle flashes and bullet holes, which are generally smaller in the frame how do i import footage into FCE? i am really clueless and stumped... any suggestions on my problem...thanks

You can't directly.
An app like Streamclip can transcode to a QuickTime file that FCE can use.
Use one of the HD FCE Easy Setup specs as the template for the Streamclip settings.
Seems like a 720p Easy Setup may be a good place to start.

What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or5
All,
What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or500? I have a new MACPRO with FCE HD and I wanted to convert some of my older video that was recorded on a HI8 Camcorder... Thanks.I have the ADVC-100 (older model) and ADVC-110. They are identical except that the ADVC-110 does not come with an AC power adapter. Currently sells for about $220USD. If all you need to do is convert from HI8 tapes, the ADVC100/110 will do the job quite nicely.
The ADVC300 adds some enhancements for video signal cleanup, but at a higher price. Currently sells for about $450USD. The ADVC500 is overkill for home use. -
Hi,
I have a ton of avi files that I need to convert for editing in FCE.
My goal: to get my avi clips into FCE so they don't have to be rendered in the timeline and everytime an edit is made. I've read several posts which suggests mpeg streamclip. My avi format is: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions DVI ADPCM, Mono, 22.050 kHz FPS: 29.97, size: 640 x 480 pixels (this is the format listed when I open the clip in quicktime). My my final output of this FCE project is to view on HDTV (16:9) via dvd, so the best quality is what I would like.
My questions:
Is streamclip what I should be using?
And what settings should I use in streamclip to convert the avi files? (my guess would be: quicktime movie for the format) I've been trying different options under quicktime movie and the conversion leads to a jerky choppy video.
thank you!MartinR wrote:

Can Canon 60D raw files work on Photoshop cs4, PowerPC G5?
So I recently got a Canon 60D for photo and video, but I can't seem to find a program that will read the 60D RAW files that is also compatible with PowerPC. Help! I am running photoshop CS4, the camera raw updates aren't compatible with PowerPC. The newest adobe DNG converter (6.5) isn't compatible with PowerPC, and the older DNG converter (4.4) that came with my 30D won't read 60D raw files. Is there anything that has a universal binary (PowerPC compatible) and will read 60D files? I really don't want to have to take my photos to another computer just to convert them. Thanks!
You may be in luck:
The 60D is from late 2010 and is only supported by Camera Raw/DNG Converter 6.2 or later.
According to this page, 6.4 was the last version to run on a PowerPC:

Many have posted that you should use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip to convert CAnon 60D 1920x1080/24 to Apple Pro Res LT. My client is a local TV station and they currently air their programming in HDV 1080i. Which program converts with higher quality, MPEG Streamclip or Compressor and once in edit in FCP with Pro Res LT am I not using a much lower quality image? And when I play out to HDV won't that be a quality less than HDV? I'm trying to get a gist of the procedure for editing Pro Res and then delivering to a client. I may have the option of providing them each 30 minute show as a Quicktime File, but would I give them Quicktime Files as Pro Res LT or another higher codec? All new to me since I now use a Canon 60D. Thanks
Which program converts with higher quality, MPEG Streamclip or Compressor...
Both use the installed QuickTime frameworks. The quality will be identical.
..and once in edit in FCP with Pro Res LT am I not using a much lower quality image?
No. You will not see a difference. LT is absolutely fine for the images you aquired.
I'm trying to get a gist of the procedure for editing Pro Res and then delivering to a client.
Only the client / broadcaster can tell you that. Ask them for a copy of their delivery specifications.
While there are general guidlines, they usually specify permitted signal levels etc. But there will be a huge difference in what formats you can deliver to a local PBS compared with a national network. -
I am new to FCP. I have a canon 60d camera and purchased fcpX. I was recommended to download mgep streamline and convert my files to prores422. I do not have an option for prores 422 in my download. How can I fix the problem.Please help. There was another suggestion by vimeo.com to use applexdcam ex 1080p30. I do not have that either in my mpeg download.
For future reference, you will most likely get more knowledgeable answers if you post in the FCP forum where the folks who use the product regularly hang out:

Hey,
My friend has the Canon 60D. We shot some footage and I uploaded it to my computer and saw that it was H264 codec. I now have to convert it all to ProRez Lite. I'm not too familiar with the camera but - is there a way for the Canon 60D to automatically save the files it shoots to a better codec so that when I upload them to my computer it's ready to go?
My friend only has an 8GB SD card. The stuff we would be shooting would'nt be too too much footage but if there was a way to make it save as something like Pro Rez lite where it can be editable in FC and still a decent file size that would be great.
ThanksThanks for the replys. Since it's not my camera he was just letting me borrow his sd card, so I wouldn't be able to do the log and transfer thing because I won't have the camera/usb etc. But that seems like the transcoding would take some time regardless since it's still converting.
I usually use the regular Prores 422, but I mentioned trying out pro res lite cause I hear the quality is similiar and less on the file size.
I guess I will have to just deal with waiting to convert footage everytime I want to edit. It doesn't make sense to me why their default is a delivery format on a prosumer product... I can understand iphones being h264 cause they need it small compression on just planning to upload it raw to youtube or something but with a dslr which would most likely be used with editing is in a delivery codec... So is that the standard workflow with everyone to spend hours converting first?
Thanks -
Good HD camera for FCE - Sanyo? Canon? Sony?
I'm looking for a good HD camera for FCE (1920 × 1080 pixels; no tape, no HDD--just Memory).
Is anyone here using the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1010?
I could only find sample videos of the older HD1000 here:
http://www.sanyo-dsc.com/products/lineup/dmx_hd1000/feature/02/index.html
Is the quality of the HD1010 better?
Or can someone recommend Canon (HF100?) or Sony?
Thanks!Please have a look at these cutouts of your examples:
http://rcpt.yousendit.com/633305198/9a2d60f9d7f9fc6d3cb974cb9c10637f
During horizontal movements it doesn't look very good too. Why...?
I looked for other 1920 x 1080 sample movies on Vimeo, and most of them looked MUCH better than yours:
(I could only watch the MOVs and MP4s -- no MPGs, AVIs and WMVs -- where can I find the right plugins for QT...?)

1080p export from FCE with Canon 60d
I'm shooting 1080p 30fps on my Canon 60D DLSR. Everything imports fine and I can edit the footage without issue. However, I have been working with video effects and noticed that the videos I'm outputting are heavily interlaced. When I view the rendered footage in the Canvas, it looks great with no apparent interlacing. But when I export the video, it seems to be exporting it in an interlaced format and when there is fast motion, it looks terrible. Can someone review my settings and let me know where I'm going wrong? In Easy Setup I don't see a 1080p option, so I've selected one of the others.
Easy Setup:
AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60
Export Settings:
MP4
H.264
Data Rate: 5000kbits/sec optimized for Download
1920 x 1080 HD Letterbox
Frame Rate 29.97
Key Frame every 24 frames
192kbps audio
Thanks!!!DJ,
It looks like the OP is about six months old, but I would have to ask how you are getting the clip from the 60D into FCE and what codec is. The 60D records in H.264 which is not compatible with FCE (just taking a guess as to where you should begin looking).
If you post your sequence settings and your clip properties maybe someone can get a better understanding of what the full issue is.

Canon FD 50mm 1.8 Lens Profile for Canon 60D
I've created a lens profile today for the Canon FD 50mm 1.8 on a Canon 60D using the Fotodiox adapter. I sent it to Adobe for posting publicly. If anyone would like to download it in the meantime you can find it here:
Please click this link
I might have messed it up. It's my first time creating a profile and seemed to work fine for me in Lightroom. Let me know if there are any improvements to be made. I used f5.6 since that seemed to be the sweet spot on the lens and the imager was about 5 feet from the chart.JPG lens profiles are distinct from RAW lens profiles because cameras can fix things with the camera-produced JPGs that the lens profiles also fix and you can get double-corrections by using a raw lens profile with a jpg, but it depends on the capabilities and settings of the particular camera.
If you are sure your camera isn’t correcting geometric and vignetting issues with your JPGs, then you can hack the lens profile you downloaded to use it with JPGs, by editing the .lcp file with a text editor and change the flag indicating it is for raw files from True to False. I forget what this flag is called, exactly, but it is obvious and near the top of the files.
On Windows, the lens profiles are downloaded to:
C:\Users\--username--\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\
AppData is a hidden or system folder so you’ll need to unhide such folders in the folder options in Explorer or just type in the path an hit Enter in the address area of Explorer. -
Any advantages from trading up to a Canon 6d full frame from a 60d for horse photography?
Hi, I am considering upgrading from my Canon 60d to a full frame (6d), I generally shoot horses in action and head profiles using a Canon 70-200L non IS lens. I would be interested in feedback as to whether the cost would benefit me with this type of photography. Also any additional lens suggestions would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.I do a ton of equestrian photography.
I use a pair of 7D's for the vast majority of it (90% or more). Those have essentially the same sensor and high ISO capability as your 60D, just a slightly more sophisticated (but no more sensitive) auto focus system and higher frame rate. I do also have a 5D Mark II that's proven useful at times in lower light situations, but I use it far less than the crop cameras. The 5DII can do about one stop higher ISO than 7D (a 6D offers slightly higher ISO than 5DII, as well as extra low light focusing capability).
Primarily, I'd rather have the "extra reach" of crop cameras than the high ISO capabilities of full frame. My most used lenses are 70-200/2.8 IS, 70-200/4 IS, 300/2.8 IS and 300/4 IS. I also carry and sometimes use 28-135 IS, 10-22mm, 24-70/2.8 and a number of shorter primes (portrait, macro, tilt-shift).
In order to have the "reach" of a 300mm lens on crop camera, with a full frame camera I'd have to lug around a 500mm. No thanks!
But in general it's more down to lenses than the camera they are used upon...
What lenses and cameras I use depends on the type of event I'm shooting, whether or not I can be or want to be mobile, whether or not an arena is covered, if I'm not working outdoors.
For dressage, I often have to work in covered arenas. But I am not mobile at dressage events, so I can set up a 300/2.8 on a tripod to reach the other end of the arena and use a 70-200/2.8 for closer shots. I prefer to to stop down a bit for adequate depth of field when I can, but like to have f2.8 available if needed to get shots in darker areas of the arena. Generally speaking, unless at a very high level, dressage cannot and should not be photographed with flash. Most junior and amateur dressage riders and horses are not accustomed to flash. Dressage is slower moving than some other events, so I can get by with a slower shutter speed in many cases... 1/250 and 1/320 is sometimes possible.
Hunter/jumper, stock competition, gymkhana and English/Western are types of events where I need to be more mobile and tend to use 300/4 IS and 70-200/4 IS for mostly handheld shooting. These types of events are sometimes in covered arenas, but often are in open, uncovered venues. Even if the arena is covered, it's quite likely to be well lit. It is possible to use fill flash judiciously, but I try to avoid it as much as possible, and never use it too close.
Hunter/jumper, arena jumping, gymkhana and all sorts of stock competition tend to be moving, so I need to use 1/640 or faster shutter speeds, if I want to freeze the action.
For trail trials I try to carry minimal gear because I'm walking the trail with the horses and riders (not the entire 6 to 10 miles of most TT courses), but it's entirely outdoors in good light. I mostly use 28-135 on one camera and 300/4 IS on another. I have had trouble with the noise of 5DII in the quieter settings of trail trials, but not with 7D or even using 5DII in noiser arenas (I know the 6D and 5DIII have "quiet" modes, but haven't used them, so can't be certain how effective they are or if there are other issues using them.)
Cross country is one type of event where I always struggle to figure out what to carry. If I working close to home or have a ride out onto the course, I might take larger lenses and tripods. But if I'm hiking, I'll opt for the lighter stuff.
I sometimes use the full frame 5DII for planned, stationary portraits (after testing to see if the horse reacts to the shutter noise). I also will occasionally use it in particularly dark venues. But generally even those I can find brighter spots and work those with my 7D's instead. So I might only be limited from shooting in particular portions of the arena.
If I could only carry one, it would probably be a crop sensor camera... on a budget 60D or 70D, 7Ds have been working well for me for over 4 years and upwards of 100,000 clicks apiece, and probably will get replaced with 7D Mark II's when those come available. (In the past I extensively used 50D, 30D and 10D, too.) A crop camera gives the most versatility and flexibility, IMO. It offers the "extra reach" that allows smaller, ligher, less expensive lenses to serve, plus all lenses both EF and EF-S can be used (a full frame camera is slightly limited, to EF only).
But, sure, 6D's low light capabilities could be nice at times. It's probably a good two stops higher ISO capable than your 60D or my 7Ds... and it's AF is able to focus in about two stops lower light, too (-3EV, compared to -1EV). Note that the 6D would be limited largely to center AF point only, for any AI Servo/action shooting and low light. (That woudl be fine by me... smae is true of my 5DII and even with 7Ds and 50Ds, which have much more capable peripheral AF points, I still only use the center one most of the time.)
Hope this helps!

Picking up a Canon 60d, what do I need to know?
I've been using a Canon XH-A1 HDV camcorder and am making the switch over to a Canon DSLR for video (Canon 60D). I know from reading that the video files the 60D records is not 100% compatible with Final Cut Express, so what do I need to know about using the files in projects with FCE? Do I need to convert them with a separate application on my mac or can I just import the files into FCE and convert them in there before I edit?
Any input about using a DSLR for video (60d or 7d) would be a great help!
