CS4 with HD footage from Canon HV30 - will new CPU help?

Hi guys,
I've just dumped an hour of Mini HDV footage onto my system, and the playback constantly stutters - the video pauses for a second at a time. My first guess was my CPU, but now that I've read other posts here, it may just be CS4.  I'm using Windows 7 Release Candidate 64-bit.  I have 4GB RAM and an Intel E2180 CPU.   I was thinking of upgrading to an Intel E8400, but maybe not if CS4 is just buggy.
Any thoughts?

Hey Josh,
I am building a new Windows system around an i7 and saw your post about Windows 7. I really like the idea of a leaner, faster OS, but I have two questions that I thought you might be able to address:
1. The Windows 7 web page states that when the RC version expires, "To avoid interruption, you'll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010. You'll also need to install the programs and data that you want to use."
That part about needing to installs the programs...does that mean that I'll have to effectively wipe my system drive clean and reload WIndows 7 and CS4, etc again? (versus just updating Windows 7)
2.  I'm not experienced with dual boot and I've read on this forum that it is not recommended to partition your system drive. What is your experience with using a dual boot system...as far as any speed penalty from the partition. (I admit that I may be making an incorrect assumption around why partitiioning was discouraged, ie, don't put OS on one partition and data on another...I get that)
3. Should I research every component of my new system to check W7 compatibility (MOBO, GPU, etc) or is it so similar to Vista that most everything works fine?
Thanks for any advice!

  • No "Fiery Features" with latest driver from Canon only "Printer features".

    No "Fiery Features" with latest driver from Canon only "Printer features".  iRC5235's using 'OSX installer PKG'.  Installation completes successfully.  Can successfully add the printer(s).  Just cannot access the "Fiery Features" just "Printer Features".  Other users are working fine.  The driver is "Canon iR-ADV C5200s-B2 PSV10US".  Already have removed, restarted and reinstalled numerous times - no progress.  It should be noted that this user may print to the devices, just cannot access any of the "Fiery features" which are desired.  Any thoughts?  Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    If the user is only getting Printer Features, then it would suggest that the wrong PPD is being selected when the printer is being added. For example, the PPD's for the internal Canon board will show Printer Features in print dialog. So while you mention the B2 driver is being used, are you sure it was selected when the print queue was created?
    To check, you can open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left column. Then in the top right pane, select the iR ADV C5235 with the B2 attached. The bottom right pane will give information about the print queue. The entry PPD will show which PPD is being used and it should show as you have shown above, ie "Canon iR-ADV C5200s-B2 PSV10US".
    If the correct PPD was selected then another possible cause is a problem with the Fiery Features plugin. Via Finder, navigate to
    /Library/Printers/Canon/PS3/PDEs/EF005626
    and check that you have the file "EF005626(FF).plugin". This is the Fiery Feature plugin. If it is present, then maybe this user is having access issues to this folder/plugin.

    Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

  • Setting Correct Sequence Presets with footage from Canon XA10? Always showing 29.97fps Confused!

    I just got the Canon XA10 and new at Video editing. If I shoot in Cinamatic mode (24fps) or Auto (60i) etc.. When I import to my computer and Premier Pro it is showing my setting at 29.97 FPS on anything I shoot no matter what frame rate I shot in.
    I called Canon and they said not to worry that is is shooting in correct mode (nice answer) but has something to do with the way it converts it for NTS compliant, etc.. but I am confused that anything I import to computer and Premier Pro always show 29.97fps no matter if I shot it in 24, 60fps etc..
    Can someone clarify this for me as why it always shows this and what presets I should be using if I shot it in "Cinama" mode 24fps but it is showing 29.97fps in Premier pro?
    I have quality set in SP
    So when I import to Premier Pro or my computer my meta data is always showing no matter waht frame rate I set in camera when shooting. Running Windows.
    1140X1080 (1.3333)
    29.97fps 4800HZ
    Thank you!

    Hi Kim,
    I'm about to purchase the XA10 also and use it with PPro CS5.5 so I'm very interested in your questions - and the forum's answers.  Are you using CS5 or CS5.5? 
    Allthough I can't help answer your question yet, I can confirm and add to pabalsamo's advice  - if you want to capture full HD video quality, you'll need to switch to MXP or FXP mode.  These are the only two settings that allow full HD 1920x1080 video recording and the picture quality is outstanding.  However, if the XA10 is like the HFS21 (my current camera) you may have problems when it comes to editing MXP footage.  To be safe, I usually stick with FXP and I'm very happy with the results.  The default setting on your XA10 may be 'SD'  (I'm not sure why Canon does this) which is why you found yourself shooting in it...   I might be naive suggesting this, but I'm wondering if shooting in SD has anything to do with the problem your having?  Maybe just to eliminate, try shooting in FXP, 24P and see how Adobe recognizes it...
    By the way there's a good introductory article on HD compression/codecs/bit rates here:  http://www.camcorderinfo.com/d/Reviews&level_b=Camcorder&level_c=HD.htm#
    Best of luck and hope to hear more answers and maybe even be able to provide some in the near future.

  • Premiere Elements 10 - can't play back imported HD video (from Canon HV30) in Quicktime or FCP

    After playing around with the trial version, I eagerly purchased Photoshop Elements 10 Premiere for its ability to edit video from my Sony Cybershot camera (Final Cut Pro would not do this) and for its ability to import video from my Canon HV30 HD camcorder (Final Cut Pro is really fussy on this).
    Also liked the option of importing without breaking in to individual scenes.  FCP and iMovie won't do this.
    So, after the first import of a tape, I discover that the imported file will NOT play via Quicktime, and when I imported that file into Final Cut Pro, I got the eternal circle icon which lead to a crash.  
    What's going on here?

  • Problem importing footage from Canon XF305 into fcp

    I have footage from a card having recorded on a Canon XF305. I literally dragged and dropped card onto my desktop making sure not to change any file names. I am now trying to import this footage from my desktop into fcp. I have downloaded the canon fcp plugin but everytime I try to import the footage using the canon plugin preferences I get an error message which reads... "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media. Can anyone help me??

    Hi there,
    I've had no joy with this. Have tried everything. Just can't get footage into fcp any way I try. I have downloaded the plugin but I still get the same error message. "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    My work flow is as follows.
    Open final cut pro. Go to log and transfer. Go to preferences within the log and transfer window and click on Canon XF plugin. Then go to import. Click on file on my desktop which is labeled as CLIPS001. Then error message comes up.
    Memory card was dropped directly onto my laptop and onto a back up drive without changing any file names. Was thinking this would be straight forward.
    Any help will be hugely appreciated. Am I missing something simple?

  • Capturing footage from Canon XH A1

    Hi All -
    I'm a bit new to Final Cut Express but ran across the following problem:
    When I try to capture footage from my Canon XH A1 HD video camera, FCE does not recognize that there's any connection or that the camera is plugged into my MacBook Pro via the firewire cable. When I plug in my Sony VX2100 it does recognize this camera and I'm able to capture footage when I use that camera, but no luck with the Canon.
    Funny thing is, when I try to capture footage from my Canon using iMovie it recognizes the camera and captures the footage with no problem.
    Any idea why FCE is not recognizing this camera when iMovie does? Is there a setting on FCE that needs to be changed?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!!

    Are you using the correct Easy Setup?
    Normally it should be HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50 (or i60 if you are using NTSC).
    I believe your Canon is an HDV camera whilst your Sony shoots DV.
    They both need different Easy Setups. iMovie deals with this automatically.

  • Connecting Canon HV30 to New Macbook pro with firewire 800

    I just received new Macbook pro 2.8 that only has 9 pin firewire 800 connectivity. My previous IMac accepted my Canon HV30 HD video through 4-6 pin firewire 400 with ease, the new laptop will receive the video through 4-9 pin cable but the video color is severely distorted and unusable. Is there a problem with firewire 400 to 800 transfer compatibility?

    Yeah, FW400 is compatible with FW800. Only need to find the conversion cable with the correct connectors.Try getting that first and connecting the two, to see if the Mac recognizes it and enables capture. Else visit the camera maker's site to check if they are providing Mac-specific software.

  • Does Premiere Elements support DVCPRO-HD? How do I ingest and work with HD-footage from HVX-200?

    Hi there,
    I work with Premiere Elements 11 on a windows PC, and I try to ingest HD-footage from Panasonic HVX-200 Camcorder. Premiere Elements only recognizes thumbnails, but not the footage itself? What do I have to do? Or does Elements only support SD-footage? Do I have to install DVCPRO-HD Codec? Where do I get it then?
    Thanks for your help!, yours Mike

    Welcome to the forum.
    PrE does support HD material, just not all of it.
    With DVCPRO HD on P2 media, I am not sure that you will be able to work directly with the media files from your Panasonic in PrE. This is the list of supported formats: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WSeffff8bffc802084-1665492e133c9c19956- 8000.html#WS300DE01D-F057-4639-96D1-F99EEE163C24
    PrPro can Import and edit DVCPRO HD on P2 media. The Panasonic P2, along with its metadata is supported: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.html

  • Workflow for 4k footage from Canon C500/AJA Ki Pro Quad

    Can FCP 7 import 4k footage from the AJA Ki Pro Quad?
    What we're doing is shooting simultaneously on 1080 and 4k, and keeping the best stuff on 4k and dumping the rest. We will continue to edit in 1080 and just keep a library of 4k for now with the hope that in the future a new version of Final Cut comes out so we can leapfrog X. (We shoot mostly wildlife so shelf life is important for our stock.) So while I don't expect to process or even edit the 4k material in FCP7, can it at least do a file transfer or is there a better way to do this?
    Thank you.

    You may want to take a look at Adobe Premiere Pro, which gives you 4K support in a familiar, FCP-7 like editing paradigm.
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-at-ibc-2013/adobe-premiere-pro-cc-ultra-hd4kray- support/
    Premiere Pro has added the functionality of being able to change Sequence Settings (frame size, frame rate and codec, etc.) at any time - allowing you to edit in Pro Res, then switch the same sequence to your acquisition source material.

  • How do import footage from Canon Vixia HV40 to Macbook Pro?

    Hello everyone,
    I am in dire need of help! I have to edit video footage from a conference and all of it was filmed on the Canon Vixia HV40. I received a slip in the camcorder bag that said make sure computer and camera are off before plugging in firewire wire. Once plugged in, turn the computer on first, then turn the camera on. I've tried this but my macbook is not recognizing any external plug in.
    I downloaded the Canon Vixia software but it keeps giving me this error message: No camera found.
    I've searched the interwebs for different solutions but I'm at a loss as to what I should do. Also, is there a way of importing the footage directly to Final Cut Pro X?
    My macbook specs are:
    2.6 GHz intel core i7 v10.8.
    If anyone can give me specific, step-by-step instructions, I would be so grateful!

    That camera shoots AVCHD.
    Are you using Log & Transfer to access the footage?
    Can you see the camera's storage in the Finder?

  • Issues with .mov files from Canon 5d mk3 - since Mavericks upgrade...

    Hello,
    Ever since I upgraded my OS to Mavericks, Premier Pro has been refusing to 'see' .mov files in my projects. In the timeline the bits of .mov footage are appearing as red blocks, in the preview pane you get 'Awaiting media' then the red block of doom.
    So currently I'm having to convert footage from .mov to mp4v - then it seems to be OK. The upgrading to Mavericks could be a coincidence ... but before that I had no issues with PP.
    This is my system:
    Processor  2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
    OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
    Memory  12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    I would love some help/ideas on this - it's doing my head in having to convert .mov files, and having to back convert stuff in my existing projects ... please help!

  • Working with footage from Canon 5D Mark ii

    Hi
    I have recently started working with video taken on a Canon 5D Mark ii.
    Should I always convert all my footage into Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) when I want to edit HD 1920x1080 footage?
    Also I have just finished a project not knowing that this might have to be done, and when I added colour correction the exported quick time conversion looked terrible.
    Is there any way to save this edit, or should I just convert the origional footage and start again?!
    Thanks

    This is a topic that gets discussed a lot, and i'm curious if anyone has any more insight into it. From what i understand, ProRes HQ is 10-bit codec, while normal ProRes is 8-bit. The footage coming off of your h.264 camera is in 8-bit space, so if you encode it to 10-bit, you're just getting filling in a bunch of extra space. it's like building a 3-car garage for your motorcycle.
    One of the reasons the files get so much larger going from H.264 to APR is that H.264 is an inter-frame codec, meaning that it uses information from more than one frame and evaluates the changes from frame to frame to calculate what any individual frame should look like. This means you don't need to store as much raw data for each frame, but it's more processing intensive to calculate the image from what's there. Final cut doesn't like to do this kind of calculation, at least in its current incarnation. So you convert it to APR 422, which is an Intra-frame codec, which stores all of the information for each frame individually in one place, even if it's a relatively unchanging shot. this means a lot more raw data, but it also means final cut can just look in one place for each frame and not have to figure out how to build it out of the surrounding frames. larger files, but easier on the program.
    premiere is supposedly kicking *** right now with dealing with this kind of stuff. and they are integrating h.264 specific chipsets in some of the newer computers, so it may become less of an issue in the future. from what i understand anyway.
    anyway. if anyone has any other shades of clarification about what's going on with the technical sides of that stuff, i'm trying to get more clear myself.
