CS4 and Canon HV40 issues

When I capture in HD on CS4 from my Canon Vixia HV40 the footage picks up some horizontal pixel mess ups. It doesnt happen when I capture in DV. But I've tried every HD setting on the Premiere file and on the camera. Don't know what to do. Help?

I've had similar issues like this-- i.e the lines you are seeing plus I get dropouts which in turn make the video and audio go out of sync when capturing HDV through firewire (Nice cam by the way! I have the sony version HC-9)
My only solution up to this point has been to  just recapture that part of the footage and that usually fixes things- (but is a huge pain)
I tried cleaning the heads with a panasonic mini dv head cleaner but haven't gotten the time to capture anything since- when I do I will report back but it is always a good idea to give the head cleaning thing a shot.
Also since I have a Sony camera I use Sony mini DV tapes but I'm thinking I might have to upgrade to the more expensive version to avoid some of this dropout. That's the thing though I used these same tapes for DV and never had any issues with them- They are good quality tapes. It is frustrating to me that HDV has changed that
Please report back and let us know if any of this has helped
HDV users UNITE!

  • Adobe Bridge CS4 and Canon Rebel T3

    I purchased a Canon Rebel T3 this week after my Canon Rebel XS died on me.  Unfortunately, the T3 doesn't seem to be compatible with my CS4 Bridge when downloading images from the camera.  It is unable to convert the files to DNG.  Is there an update to CS4 that works with a Canon Rebel T3?  From what I can tell, only CS5 will work with my camera, and that's not an option for me.  In the meanwhile, I have downloaded the Adobe DNG Converter for my Mac, while useful, isn't as clean a process as the conversion happening within Bridge itself.
    I've had a hell of a week with technical difficulties!  Thanks in advance for your help.

    I have downloaded the Adobe DNG Converter for my Mac, while useful, isn't as clean a process as the conversion happening within Bridge itself.
    If you have used Adobe Updater for CS4 and have the latest ACR plug in for CS4 that is all you can do. If your camera is not supported (and since CS5 is more then a year ago released every new dSLR from then on is supported for the CS5 converters) you have two options.
    first is to upgrade to CS5
    second is to just use the free DNG converter as you do now. (have no ability to test but maybe there is little change Photodownloader will let you convert the files to DNG so just give it a try).
    But after having used DNG Converter and point Bridge to that folder you are able to work with the files as you used to do (rename, sort filter and adjust in ACR CS4). If you can't use Photodownloader for ingestion of files it is just a bit more work to get the same results in Bridge but it is possible

  • Web Premium CS4 and Offline Files Issue

    My system: Multiple notebooks, laptops running Windows 7 Ultimate, all on a Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 network.
    I have My Documents, My Pictures, and My videos folders rehomed to the server via group policy, and when I unplug from the network these folders are available to the disconnected laptop/pc via offline files (and the offline file cache).
    My issue: When I install Web Premium CS4 on any machine, if my laptop/pc is disconnected from the network, the offline folders disappear, although the offline file management snap-in tab shows the cache is stored, and when I plug back in to the network, the folders will soon appear. When the folders are visible, the offline status shows "Always available offline".
    When I uninstall CS4, the trouble does not get fixed, but a barebones install from a disk image prior to CS4 installation fixes the problem, making me think adobe somehow changes network/registry settings to accomodate their own cache, or maybe something to do with the Adobe Bridge (just guessing). This happens on both 64 bit and 32 bit versions of Win 7.
    I have duplicated this issue on 3 different laptops, all with the same result. I opened a case with Adobe, but my case was immediately closed saying it was a Microsoft/network issue. In fact, I would guess the person who worked the case dismissed this out of hand, the case got closed so quickly.
    Is there someone out there that has run into this issue?
    Thank you,
    Bob

    Was this issue ever resolved? We are in the process of deploying design premium to around 1000 faculty members, and are experiencing the same issue. I wont know till the end of the day whether i can say 100% that its a CS 4 issue but im running a test on 3 laptops with slightly different configs.
    All laptops are win7 enterprise, with folder redirection enabled, same symptoms are occuring.
    As a test, i have been testing the offline files at different stages in the laptop bundle deployment to see where it starts to fail. I sync mydocs, undock laptop and then login to check offline files. I then wipe the CSC clean and move on to next step in deployment, and repeat check.
    We are at the last step in deployment, adobe design premium CS4, and there have been no failures with offline files so far. After it finishes deploying ill report on my findings.
    We have a ticket open with microsoft and  our sysadmin has been working with them for a few days to resolve the issue, and so far they have been baffled, escalating the ticket to a debug team. We have not yet mentioned that we suspect CS4 to be the issue, as they would probabily pass the buck and blame adobe, (similar to the OP saying adobe is blaming microsoft); we want them to fully investigate first.
    Sincerely,
    A Frustrated Team

  • Color mismatch between CS4 and Canon PIXMA PRO6500

    Hi there! I am trying to research if anyone else is having a problem with color mismatch between CS4 and their printer. Last night I printed a .tiff image out of CS4 to my Canon PRO6500 printer and the sky came out purple / pink! It was supposed to be a stormy grey color. I have the color management turned off on the printer settings. I have CS4 manages color turned on and the correct ICC profile selected for the paper I am using. When I do a soft proof in CS4 the image looks fine, but when I print I get something completely different, mostly with the sky (purple / pink) color! Just for the heck of it I did a Print Preview under my Page Setup and guess what, the sky actually shows purple / pink! So I have no idea what's going on. I checked all my setting, ink cartridges, tried different paper with the appropriate ICC profile and no dice. Still have a goofy looking sky! I thought PROOFING the image is supposed to show you how the printed image is going to look? apparently it doesn't because it's not. The Print Preview has an accurate representation of the print but I have no idea where the pink / purple sky is coming from. They are supposed to be stormy clouds as I said. I appreciate any help anyone can provide .
    Sabciu

    I have the color management turned off on the printer settings.
    But do you have a measured color profile based on a sample print? Most likely not, so this is not doing anything in your favor. The current profile may present the defaults for a given printer, but not the actual density based on your other printer settings. So by all means, unless you can be sure to obey a full calibration throughout, turn on the printer CM. Also, since it is a Pro model, you may actualyl have to use the dedicated RIP software that was bundled with it to get correct results, not the default windows print engine.

  • Adobe CS4 and Canon Scanner LiDE35

    I have Adobe CS4 and a Canon LiDE35 scanner. (Mac OS X 10.5.6)
    Although I've downloaded the latest scanner driver from Canon, the scanner is unrecognized in, for example, CS4's Photoshop.
    I have a temporary work-around: Haven't yet uninstalled the CS2 that CS4 replaced. Looks like I can scan into CS2, save, close, and reopen in CS4.
    Anybody know how to get this scanner to play well with CS4?
    Thanks.
    Andy

    "Seems silly to use $1000 application as a UI for a scanner that costs less than $100"
    Yep, plus the Canon "toolbox" was handy for other scanner uses, too. (Faxing, copying, etc.)
    I deleted the latest Canon Toolbox software and reinstalled the older toolbox that came on disc with the scanner. It works fine with Mac OS X 10.5.6. Strange that the newer TB doesn't.
    I'll give Canon an "A" for effort in the customer service department, though. Direct emails from me have been replied to promptly and personally.
    The only suggestion I haven't tried that Canon suggests is moving the scanner connection from a USB hub directly to the computer.
    Might check out VueScan anyway.

  • CS4 and CS5 Plugin Issue!

    Having a major problem with Chameleon and CS4 and CS5. When I run the program out of CS4 or CS5:

    2) When I open another photo and run Chameleon , Make Collage, I get
    1. Unhandled exception! Crash dump saved to c:\users\public\documents\akvis\crashdump.
    Please help! I’m running version 6.0.1253.3084-r
    I now get amessage stating:

    App terminated in an Unusual way.
    Contact app support
    I used to run in CS4 however it does not run at all. I'm wondering if a Visual C file got corrupted.
    Thanks,
    Rudy

    Without knowing exactly what the bug is in the Akvis code, I don't know.
    But some third party plugins always need an update when new versions of Photoshop are released (especially those that try to modify Photoshop's UI).
    We work hard to maintain plugin API compatibility, and most plugins work just fine in new versions, but there are always some problems to work out in third party plugin code.
    (Macintosh plugins are going through a lot of problems in CS5 because we had to change the UI toolkit used, and many assumptions made by plugin UI code no longer hold)

  • IPhone and Canon SLR issue

    I just got a 3G iphone and updated the OS on my macbook to 10.5.4, but when I plug the phone in a window pops up and says 'no camera found', and the phone charges. Itunes doesn't see the phone at all. I think it's my Canon photo software for my EOS XTI. Anyone else have this problem/solve it? Thanks. Zach.

    I was having the exact same problem. Connect iPhone 3g and Canon CameraWindow would open with a notification that no camera was attached.
    I found a setting in ImageCapture which controls what happens when you connect a camera. In the preferences menu, just select none. Problem fixed.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 and Canon 600d problems

    Hello,
    Recently I've been having a few recourring problems when trying to edit footage I captured on my Canon 600D on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.
    The footage shot on the Canon is 1920x1080 at 24fps, when I create a setup preset for these settings in Premiere the clips appear to import absolutely fine. The setup Ive created is shown in the screenshot below.
    The problems start when I place the clip on the sequence and render it, once the clip renders the playback in the program/timeline preview window goes all weird and doesn't play the clip properly. Shown in the screenshot below.
    First of all I thought this might just be a playback error but when I try to export it as a video file it says error and closes down. This is extremely irratating so i wondered if anyone would be able to offer me a soloution. I have a feeling it may be my setup preset but if so would someone be able to tell me the correct way to set it up for a canon 600d camera because whenever I try a preset found within premiere it exports the video at 720 resolution and very low quality.
    Thanks very much for whoever replies, I appreciate it very much
    Mike

    Ahhh okay that sucks, is there anyway to convert the footage that I already have without drastically reducing the quality as I want my film to be the best quality that is possible?

  • Premiere CS4 and Lagarith Codec Issue !

    Gentlemen !
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Premiere CS4
    6GB Ram
    I was working on a project using 720P footage and finished the project, then I sent it to AME to encode the output file to Windows AVI using lagarith Codec.
    The final output AVI video plays perfect on my PC but when I took it to our satellite channel , we were getting the error code something like "Codec missing or needed to play this file "
    I guess they try to download the Lagarith Codec , but for reason still didn't work and was displaying the same error.
    Do you have any idea , which codec I can use , which can be more standard so their system can play it .
    I was asked to provide them with .Mov (Quicktime) or Windows AVI file type !
    Thanks !!

    Ok Thanks again Benn !
    Well, here is the situation.
    My footage is HD 720p
    My project and sequence settings match my source footage perfectly
    I rendered my song for 2 different formats, once I rendered it for YouTube, which I used a YT preset from AME, and it plays perfect.
    Now I have to have another version of this song in SD format, it could be Quicktime or Microsoft- Windows AVI.
    I tried Miacrosoft AVI, the audio plays fine but the video is in Slow Motion, also out of sync with audio...
    I tried Windows media , but the fina videol size is only 59MB
    Any Help will be Appreciated !

  • CS4 and Canon 60D

    Is there some download I need so that CS4 can open my RAW files?
    Thanks for your help.

    What Conroy said. Convert the 60D Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS4.
    A DNG workflow primer
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/software-cinema-for-photographers/the-dng-workflow/
    To edit 60D Raw files, you need at least ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) 6.2. ACR is a plugin for Photoshop which Adobe must continually update on a camera by camera basis.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    CS5 was the first version to support ACR 6.2
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    If you really want to edit Raw files, you would now be required to join the Creative Cloud since CS4 is no longer eligible to upgrade to CS6 or any version thereafter.

  • Can't Export to tape with CS4 and Canon XL2

    I can capture just fine from my XL2 but I can't export out to tape.  It doesn't set the camera up as a playback monitor.  How can I remedy this situation?  Is there a setting I am missing?

    Make sure External Device under Export is enabled in the Playback Settings of the Program monitor.

  • Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
    Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    You can double check this yourself:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • Canon IR 3025 and Canon IRc 3225 paper jamming issue in the Fixing Unit.

    I am facing frrequent paper jamming issues in the fixing unit in my IR 3025 and IRc 3225 copiers. I have tried changing my Teflon and also the fuser grease. Spoke to my support enginerr and he had suggested me that its the grease or teflon thats creatig the problem. Could somebody tell me the right teflon and grease to be used in the same.
    Also, please guide me how to check if the teflon is nice or bad? and whats the brand of teflon and grease actually used in these machines by canon itself.

    In the interest of curiosity, I created a document in InDesign CS4 to see if I could choose "Tab Paper (Letter)" and, lo and behold, there it was in the Adobe print "Setup" dialog box (but is peculiarly missing from the OS X "Page Setup" dialog box).
    Tried ID CS4 also and could see the same paper sizes. CS4 must be referencing the different section of the PPD compared to OS X's page setup.
    For some reason, InDesign CS5 does not see "Tab Paper (Letter)" as a Paper Size option.
    Don't have CS5 to confirm this but if it is relying more on the OS X print system rather than doing it own thing, which CS4 and earlier certainly did, then this makes some sense.
    One of the concerns I have with using the method prescribed by you is that when the page area is rasterized to the printer, it may cut off the image at the edge of the tabs that is not included in the "Letter" page size.
    Understood but it is worth trying. I could only see this as an issue if you were trying to print on the tab ear.

  • Capturing Footage from Canon HV40 to Final Cut Express Issue

    I own a Canon HV40 camcorder and shot a short film using the 24p HDV 24F Cine Mode feature (for film look). I've captured the footage into Final Cut Express, but the footage is running at a faster speed. I know this may have something to do with frames per second in the user preferences section.
    Does anyone have the concrete solution to this problem and will I have to recapture my footage under a different setting?
    Please advise.
    Thank you!
    - Eric

    Hi Eric,
    FCE only supports frame rates of 60i, 30p, 50i, and 25p. To edit 24p footage you'd need Final Cut Pro.
