Corrupt thumbnails for Canon HF10 footage
We shot some life footage last night. Almost 2h of 1080p footage on the HF10. Started the import into iMovie and went to bed.
This morning I made the shocking discovery that after almost 4h of importing more than 90% of the thumbnails are totally corrupted. Just showing color noise instead of the footage. I can still skim the clips, and the footage works fine for playback and editing, I just cannot tell where I am as there is over 1 1/2 hours of footage without useable thumbnails.
Tried to search around on how to re-create the thumbnails but could not find anything.
Any ideas what could be wrong or even better how to get this fixed?
I am running this on my MacBook Pro with external 1TB harddrive.
Thx for the tip!
I split the event into two - seperating the good thumbnails form the bad and dropped the thumbnail directory of the bad ones. It right now redoing them (about 50 min to go).
I will be back with an update how it went.

Need to see raw thumbnails for Canon 5D MkIII
Using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - I want to stay with this version of the OS!!
All cameras up until the new Canon 5D MkIII were showing thumbnails images of RAW photos in the FINDER.
Now there is generic icon and no thumbnail. I need to use the finder for sorting and previewing RAW images.
Is this a ploy to force upgrading to the buggy later version of the OS?
I like 10.6.8 better and want it to work as advertised for more that 24 months. How hard can it be to support RAW images when new cameras are released?
Is there another path (iPhoto?) that runs on Sonw Leopard and supports RAW from recent cameras?
Thanks,I appreciate replys but please carefully read the original posting.
I upgraded to a new camera - Canon 5D MKIII - which is when I lost thumbnails in the FINDER.
I upgraded to Mt. Lion and don't like it. Like I said, I want to find a solution using Snow Leopard. the Mac is a personal computer and that's how I want to use it.
I have Photoshop CS6 which is how I have to review my images now. This is much slower than FINDER thumbnails.
So again: is there a way to have thumbnails show in Snow Leopard/FINDER for Canon 5D MKIII raw images? -
What is the best project setting in Adobe PE 8 for Canon HF10 Camera?
I have a Canon HF10 camera and I am trying to import the video but can't seem to find a setting that does not require significant rendering before the file is even editted. I am currently using NTSC > AVCHD-HD1080i30 Once I import a file I get the redline across the top of the timeline. I have tried just about every preset the app offers.
My imported file says video is 1440 x 1080 BR 7300kbps FR 29 fs audio is 256kbps sample rate 48k
Thanks

Adobe Bridge CS3 - does not display thumbnails for Canon 40D or 50D RAW files
I wanted to use Bridge to view my Canon EOS 50D RAW files and it does not display the thumbnails, just icons. I checked my 40D cr2 files and saw same thing.
I have purged the cache and rest the cache preferences and it has not helped. I would like to be abl eto view the thumbnails of the RAW files via Bridge if possible. Jpg files and Tif files can be viewed without any issues.
Am using Bridge version 2.1.1.9 and Pshop CS3 10.0.1I have the exact same problem. I can view my RAW file thumbnails (which are .ARW files from my Sony A200 camera) in the Finder and in other applications, such as Preview, but not in Adobe Bridge CS3. I know that I did try purging the cache at one point to see if that would fix it, but then I didn't know what to do after that. Before I purged the cache, I was able to view RAW thumbnails in Bridge, but then they would not increase in size when I tried using the slider (at the bottom right of the Bridge window)

Importing footage from a canon hf10 camcorder
hi, this is my first time on this forum...im having difficulty importing all the footage i have from my canon hf10. i have it plugged in but it tells me it cannot locat some firewire thing and that my system configuration may have chaged...im pretty computer illiterate and havent a clus what to do....i am using the new macbook pro and the final ut express 4 program. i would really really appreciate some help on this...thank you!!!!
kimosavezHello and welcome aboard the FCE forum,
You should use a USB cable and the _Log and Transfer_ FCE function. AVCHD is a different beast to Mini DV that requires firewire for transfer/capture and the _Log and Capture_ FCE fuction..
Try a search for hf10 on this forum, plenty of info.
Here's a start:

PE 7 (or 8!) and Canon HF10 Full HD1080 25p
I want to preserve the quality of the 1080p 25FPS progressive AVCHD that comes out of my HF10.
My problem with PE7, and it seems also with the PE8 trial version, is that
1. the highest quality project setting Full AVCHD is only 25i (interlaced) - not progressive - and
2. on export back to my PC as it seems only to offer me 1440 (not 1920).
So I've used the very basic Pixela program that came with my HF10, to do a basic slice (to get rid of the rubbish footage) because that at least allows me to export as 1920x1080. The bit rate appears identical to the original pre-sliced AVCHD files.
I only use PE7 to create movie projects for export therefore. I was looking forward to PE8, but it seems PE8 has not come out supporting 1080p 25FPS export either. I seem to feel the need to jump ship.
Am I missing a trick with PE8, or is it that Adobe won't deliver 1080p 25FPS progressive AVCHD export to hard disk on PE8, because PE8 is a consumer entry level program, and if I could afford £700 for my Hf10 I can affort £700 for Premiere Pro?
Why is it hard to find detailed documentation that says what a program accepts for input, and what it can deliver to as output?
Why should I secure lovely full HD footage, only to see my software degrade it?After a bit of travel, and a few more experiments on my return, I am back again, and can report.
Yes it seems I can successfully export non-interlaced 1920-1080 using the instructions you set me, and so my outputs are once again to my liking. It's all very manual though, and to avoid crashes (C++ error) I also have to manually create the project export setting.
What gets me is why is Adobe apparently hiding the capability to export as 1920x1080? It seems either amateurish, or a trap.
Either way, I am still going to jump from this program, and possibly up to Premier Pro - why, because PE8 does not allow me to import my AVCHD files from my HF10 clip them down and then export lossely as AVCHD. Some lower level programs apparently do.
PE7 (and PE8) supports AVCHD, but it sure doesn't retain it. It should be said that PE8 eats AVCHD. No, I don't want my software telling me I can't have my AVCHD after it has gobbled it. My final grip was mentioned back up this chain, it is hard to find the evidence of what the export capabilities are from the literature on PE8. It is as if it is hidden.
I still have my native AVCHD stiing on my machine all clipped up, because Canon provided some very basic software with the camera that allowed me to clip the rubbish out and re-export it as .m2ts 1080p files (timecodes lost and all!).
I still use PE8 to create outputs to disc, but I dare not let PE8 process my inputs into clipped up (rubbish-removed) raw footage for future movie projects. So I am compromised.
I may as well face it, PE will always disappoint me because I am looking for more than it aims to do - even if not more than it claims to do.
I stand to be corrected. -
How to import video from Canon HF10?
I'm probably just an idiot, but I can't figure out to import the video footage from my Canon HF10. My comp has no problem recognizing the internal hdd and the extra sd card I have for it, but I normally don't work in iMovie, so I'm a little technically ******** when it comes to it's operation. Help?
To all who care,
I have a MacBook unibody and am running Snow Leopard. I have experienced all the same frustrations listed above and on other related posts with respect to the Canon HF10 and Leopard/Snow Leopard. I will tell you that it made absolutely NO SENSE to me why Canon, a very Mac friendly company, would make these procedures SO difficult. Why would I purchase a compact high definition camera that fits in the palm of my hand if space saving and simplification was not a premium in the decision matrix of my investment? You're telling me I need to travel with a power cord, USB cable and an installation CD/DVD at every juncture of my video editing with cords scattered from heck to breakfast? Well, I don't, and Canon didn't intend on my doing that, either.
Procedure to be able to simply place your videos into a finger sized SDHC card reader after placing them on your SDHC/Class IV or higher/card directly from your camera:
1. Ensure your card in installed in your camera (duh)?
2. Turn Camera On.
3. Spin selector wheel to Video Playback.
4. Notice Four Options: Movies: Original (Built-In Mem), Movies: Original (Card), Movies: Playlist (Built-In Mem), Movies: Playlist (Card).
5. The work you've done all goes into the "Movies: Original" Locations. If you, like me, have popped out your card here and beat your head against your computer screen wondering why you can't get to what you know to be on the card, you've stopped here... Here, yes, you do need to follow the book procedure and play the musical cords and curse the poor ergonomic nature of this design.
6. **Clutch Move** Highlight the work you'd like to edit on iMovie in the "Movies: Original (Card)" section and press the FUNC. button.
7. **Clutch Move2** Select "ADD TO PLAYLIST", at which point you will be asked, All scenes on this date or simply this one scene. Do whatever you like, the camera means business. Confirm your request.
8. Check your procedure following skills by now moving to the "Movie: Playlist (Card)" category.
9. Whattaya know!!! Now something is there that wasn't before, that same video clip I've been trying to put on my computer now strangely exists in two locations on my camera... Well, just push the "I believe button" and trust me. When you extract your SDHC card and interface it with your computer, you will be very happy when you see iMovie respond to your request in familiar Mac style and fashion.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if any of you find success with the above procedure.
Godspeed, Mac friends,

Corrupted thumbnails??
I use Lightroom 2 to import photos onto my Mac Pro (Snow Leopard OS), then move to Adobe Bridge (most current version) to browse and choose which to open into Photoshop CS4. On a recent shoot, about 5 to 10% of the images (taken on three different compact flash cards) from my Canon 5D Mark II had corrupted thumbnails in Bridge. They either showed no image, just the CR2 RAW logo, or the image showed with a significant portion of it blocked by random colored vertical and horizontal lines. The photos all were fine in Lightroom. I closed Bridge, threw away the cache, and reopened and all was well.
My question is what is going on? Getting rid of my cache is a pain, because I have to wait many minutes for many files to reappear in Bridge. Is there a way to prevent this from happening again? Could it have been related to the fact that I imported 700 or so very large files (RAW files from a 21 megapixel camera are 25 to 30 MB each)? Thanks!!I closed
Bridge, threw away the cache, and reopened and all was well.
You first could have used the option to Purge cache for folder using the
Tools/cache menu instead of deleting the whole cache folder.
I use Lightroom 2 to import photos onto my Mac Pro (Snow Leopard OS), then
move to Adobe Bridge (most current version) to browse and choose which to open
into Photoshop CS4.
If you only use LR to import your files why not use Bridge for this?, You
can add several options for it in Adobe Photo Downloader that is in Bridge
(get photo's from camera). Explore the advanced option window.
My question is what is going on? Getting rid of my cache is a pain, because I
have to wait many minutes for many files to reappear in Bridge. Is there a way
to prevent this from happening again?
It might have been a corrupt folder but it might have also been something
else. I tried using LR for import files (include to convert as DNG as I'm
used to for all my Raw files) but have no problems with viewing them in
Bridge. Personally I prefer the renaming options in the Photo Downloader but
that's my opinion )
Could it have been related to the fact
that I imported 700 or so very large files (RAW files from a 21 megapixel
camera are 25 to 30 MB each)? Thanks!!
I really doubt that, (I have the same files, did not try this amount but do
work with this amount, and more in Bridge without this problems) unless you
did something in between with removing card from reader in an incorrect way
or closed one of the apps during caching but still can't imagine that to be
the cause, or if you copied the files manual to an other location, etc. etc.
Nevertheless you might consider to refresh the preferences for Bridge (hold
down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset preferences) -
Best preset for Canon HF11 (PAL)
Hi.
I'm just wondering what the best preset is when working with footages taken from the Canon HF10/HF11 (PAL)? I'm currently using one of the preset for AVCHD Flashbased camcorders - is this OK or is it better if I create a new preset for the Canon HF-series camcorders?
Thanks in advance.
SteinUsing the PAL AVCHD preset should be fine... just be sure to select the correct one. I beleive the HF11 is 1920x1080 resolution so you need the "FULL HD 1080i" AVCHD preset... you also need to use the appropriate audio preset... 5.1 if you are recording with 5.1 audio.

I'm thinking about buying the Canon HF10 and in my research I've got a couple of questions that I just wanted to be sure about. Am I correct that the file one would download off of the flash card is an AVCHD H.264 formatted file? What is the exact file extension? Also, does the built in 16gb card capture about 2 hours of footage at the highest quality? And let's say I pull this 16gb of data off the card and onto the computer via iMovie, will this take 16gb of hard disk space? Or does it somehow decompress and expand as I pull it off the camera? And, even though it's a h.264 compressed file, I won't be able to directly play it over my Apple TV? What do I need to do in order to play it on the Apple TV. I saw some posts saying it was best to record it in 24fps, but I'm not sure what to do after that.
Thanks!
Rodhey there solsurfer,
if your cam is AVCHD, your footage will be converted to AIC in iMovie 08 or FCE4. these files will be about 4x the size of standard -def/MiniDV. so if 1 hour of DV=12.3 GB, then 1 hour of AVCHD/AIC will be 49.2GB. you might want to consider a large(320GB or more) HDD for your movies & events.
in iMovie 08 you edit your footage, then "Share" to Apple TV & the movie will be encoded & sent to iTunes.
specific questions about a cam's capture format/codec, quality & quantity on flash media should be available @ the manufacturer's 'site.
good luck. -
I am using PP CS4 to edit footage from my Canon HF10 HD camera. I am shooting in 1080p. When I render the file, there is a thin green line at the bottom of the image. My import settings match up with the properties of the source (1920 x 1080, 29.97 frame rate, pixel a/r 1.0). I am rendering the file to 482 x 272.
this is driving me nuts...any ideas?
Thanks
Joe ParsonsI use cs3 and apparently there are differences between cs3 and 4...re: aspect ratios etc....so maybe someone with cs4 can help you more...
but basically my experience has been that you can export using desktop settings ( custom ) that deal with those type discrepancies...
you didnt say what you are exporting to ( what size )...I dont think...so I dont know if this will help but here's an example
I edited something recently as 720p ( 1280x720 ) from red camera , shot 2k , converted to 1280x720, square pixels, 2397...and then exported for a flash movie on my website...at 720x405 ...instead of dealing with the 16::9 baloney and counting on some preset I just exported my own size to fit the product...and it worked great....using custom setttings and so on....and avoided black bars and green things etc...
maybe you'll have the same luck using exactly the settings you want for your export ? -
I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?iPhoto 08?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. -
Hi,
the Elements Organizer 11 creates a deadlock in the wait chain when generating thumbnails for more than a handful of MTS (AVCHD) files.
After importing AVCHD files from my Canon video camera, the organizer using default settings always crashes. I was able to narrow down the problem to be caused by thumbnail generating.
After deactivating the automatic generation of thumbnails, the organizer does not crash any more upon launching .
Of course, working without thumbnails is not very practical. The next resort is manual trigger of thumbnail generation by selecting "update thumbnail".
If I manually trigger updating of thumbnails for files one by one, then it works for quite many files before crashing again.
Selecting thumbnail update for multiple files at once has a much higher likelihood to crash.
This does not seem to be related to particular file contents: a file that leads to crashing once may be flawlessly get a thumbnail created at the next attempt.
The Windows event report looks as follows (German language Windows):
Name der fehlerhaften Anwendung: PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe, Version: 11.0.0.0, Zeitstempel: 0x505e9f67

Occasionally, a different module is listed as erroneous instead of msvcrt.dll.
My questions:
- has anyone experienced the same problem?
- is this a known issue with Organizer 11?
- is the issue solved with Organizer 12?
I have Premiere Elements 11, Photoshop Elements 11 installed and not experienced any other issues with these applications.
Playback of said AVCHD (*.mts) files works flawlessly, i.e. I do not have any codec or performance issue on my PC.
Deactivation of anti-virus software has no significant effect. I have excluded video directories from scanning anyways.
Have deactivated face recognition, visual search and smart tagging in the organizer.
Have also disabled hyperthreading in the BIOS.
Using Windows XP compatibility settings for PSE somewhat improved the stability, but did not completely eliminate crashes.
Additionally, it signnificantly slows down thumbnail generation and a progress indication window becomes visible during thumbnail generation, which is barely noticable in native Win 8.1 mode.
Officially, Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1.
There is a knowledgebase article related to Elements 6, which recommends to disable multi-threading and to enforce execution of Organizer on more than one core.
This reduces the problem a little bit, but thumbnailing more than a handful of files still leads to crashing.
By means of the task manager, I analyzed the wait chain of the process PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe:
Every time the fault occurs, it is caused by a deadlock in the wait chain.
For example:
PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 6540
-- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 5932
---- PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe (PID:6440) Thread: 6540

Preview / Thumbnails for videos not showing
Hello Guys,
I was hoping someone can help me.
I usually import photos from my Canon 400d and iPhone 4 and 3GS and it's been working fine for a long time. A couple of weeks ago, it stopped showing the thumbnails for photos and videos.
My settings for import are to render previews with minimal size (and has always worked great like that). If I try to render standard sized thumbs after import, sometimes it works, and sometimes it hangs with some photos. I can quickly fix that going into "Develop" mode where it creates the preview correctly.
But for videos, because you can't go into develop mode, it just hangs trying to build the previews.
Note that all videos previous to 07-22-2011 show the thumb correctly.
Some more info on my system and the things I've tried.
My system is a Macbook Pro 2.66 i7 with 8Gb DDR3
Lightroom 3.4.1 - 64 bits
Cameras Canon 400d, iPhone 4 & 3GS
I'm running Lion OS X now but I can see in my catalogue that the blank thumbnails start appearing a week before I upgraded.
My catalog is not too big, around 3K photos
I tried getting rid discarding all the 1:1 previews and rebulding them again. I works OK for the photos but the rendering hangs when the get to the videos that have been imported after 07-22-2011.
I checked the video properties and they are all the same as old videos (nothing changed in my iphone) they are .mov files h264 with ACC audio (same as all the previous ones that show the thumbnail correctly)
I tried deleting the .lrdata preview file, and recreating all the previews in standard-size and nothing, then tried with 1:1 preview, but again it hangs when it gets to the videos
I created a new catalog and imported 2 new videos. getting the same result.
Can anyone help?Thanks Geoff.
I used an app called app zapper to completely delete 3.4 and then installed 3.5 RC and the general speed seems to be a 'little' bit better.
But video seem to screw up everything. Previews are still not rendering for videos and as soon as I get into a mixed folder (videos & images) Lightroom starts to lag badly...
