Digitizing DV from Canon GL-1 camera

FCP Studio does not see my Canon GL-1 camera. iMovie DOES see the camera, so it's not a connection problem. FCP will see my Canon HDV camera (vixia HV30), so it's not FCP. It's just a settings issue within FCP, I assume -- but I can't see where in the app. to adjust the settings to allow FCP to see the GL-1. Any help would be appreciated.

From the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup. Choose DV NTSC (and Anamorphic, if applicable). Click OK.
Menu bar again: Sequence > Settings. At bottom left, click on "Load Sequence Preset". It should already show DV NTSC. Click OK.
In the Log and Capture Window: Click on Capture Settings. It should read FireWire NTSC. If you still cannot see or control your camera, change this setting to FireWire Basic.
Your camera should be connected and powered on before you open FCP.
Some Canon cameras do not like to be on the same FireWire bus as other devices. Disconnect them.

You can't directly but can use DNG Converter to convert your files so ACR can read and process them.

I use an iMac 10.6.8 with iPhoto '09 to download digital images from Canon DSLRs. Until the last two weeks there has been no trouble whatever importing images by a USB connection from either camera to the Mac. Now the process will not kick in. Any ideas?

I use an Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 09 to download digital images from two Canon DSLRs. Until the last week, there has been no problem whatever in launching the import procedure once the USB connection has been connected and the camera switched on. Now the process will not kick in at all for either camera. I can't find a solution through iPhoto help or from other sources.
Any ideas to fix? (I admit I have not tested the USB cable at this time).

What does "kick in" mean?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

Downloading images from Canon EOS 7D camera results in corrupted images.

Hi,
I'm struggling to download images from my Canon EOS 7D camera. The images appear corrupted on my hard drive. This does not happen consistently. Some images get corrupted, but could appear properly when trying a second time. The errors occur in EOS Utility or in iPhoto: same (bad) result. I tried to repeat downloading on a Windows machine (separate) and in a Ubuntu environment (Virtual Machine on my mac). In both cases, I had no problem. Canon states that the problem resides in my iMac. The dealer of my camera mentioned that if they see those problems, it usually relates to bad connections or a poor USB cable. I also tried several USB ports and cables, but could not resolve the problem that way. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I've had this issue a few times and found it falls in to a few buckets, just a few things to consider if the images show up fine in the camera but not when you copy them out.
1) The format (version of RAW in my case I was using with Aperture
2) The reader
3) The drive
4) The connection
Format: when I first got the 7d I wanted to use the RAW.2 version. The .CR2 file format (Canon RAW version 2) is a digital photography RAW format created by Canon. "RAW" here means that this file stores information directly coming from the sensor, almost without processing. This file would show up corrupt every time i tried to open in in Aperture, or IPhoto on my Power-Mac
G5. I could only open it up in the supplied Canon software After some poking around I found out that I had to upgrade to Aperture3 to get the new supported RAW formats. Since I can't buy a new mack I changed the version of RAW I used.
Once I changed from using that RAW format it was fine. There are times Aperture will say that the file is corrupt but
when I restart the application it is fine I think there are some memory issues when it does this and I have to reboot the application over time.
The READER:I used to use a USB reader which was fine for the 10D but with the 7D and the 5D the files are much larger in RAW from 10 megs on the 10D to 25 megs or more on the 7D/5DMk2. After shooting 500 - 1000 shots in a night I'd have to download overnight in order to get everything. Some times the file would be corrupted coming over. If I pulled the file off later one by one or in smaller groups it would be fine. I have since upgraded to a Firwire 800 cards reader. Hours becomes 10 minutes for a 16Gig fill loaded card. not 8-10 hours.
The Drive: I've seen every files copy except 1, if I am able to hook up another drive and it works I run DiskWarrior, TechTool or SoftRAID. Usually thy confirm a bad sector in the drive. I'll back up the drive with time machine or a disk dupe software and then format the drive it it's part of a RAID I replace the drive entirely from the chain.
The connection: bad cables have also been a culprit but not often with firewire.

Issue withRAW files from Canon 5DMKIII in camera RAW 7.0

Hello, I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 with Camera Raw 7. Photoshop Bridge CS6 do not recognize the RAW files from the Canon 5D Mark III, any idea? Thanks in advance.

You need to have at least ACR 7.2 so click Help/Update.

Lightroom 4 RC2 won't upload raw files direct from Canon 5d mkiii camera

I can upload to DPP and then transfer the files into Lightroom but when I try and upload directly Lightroom just says, "Files not Uploaded not recognised" and I get an option to save or cancel. Why?, with LR3 raw files from my old camera uploaded just fine, whats going on.

You have a new camera, it is not yet supported in ACR or Lightroom. Most likely it will be supported in the LR4.1 proper, but not yet.
I assume your old camera is a 5DII, that is supported as its an older model.
If you want to use LR4.1RCx and your Canon 5DIII, you will need to convert from CR2 to DNG with the Adobe DNG Converter
link to the download
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html and scroll down a screen or so to find the links for MAC or PC depending on your software.
This will work til Lightroom natively imports Canon 5DIII RAW images
enjoy

No import from Canon Rebel XT camera to iPhoto

iPhoto 6 fails to import from my Canon Rebel XT. Nothing happens. I've tried every suggestion I can find on the Apple and Canon sites, and I'm stymied. Canon's said to reinstall their Solution Disk, so I did that. Also needed a EOS Utility upgrade download. The battery in my camera is fully charged. I've followed all the directions I can find! I'm not particularly computer literate--maybe you can tell. I thought this would be easy, but I've spent half a day on it already!

Is the camera set to 'PC connection' in the last (5th) menu in the camera settings. That should do the trick. Another option is to get an inexpensive USB 2.0 card reader. That will work really well also and import the images much faster. Then you just remove the card and put it in the reader when you want to download your images.

But the 4 videos I had taken took FOREVER. I guess I still need to play with it a while to see what I an accomplish. Any help there on the video download?
Probably be quicker if you use the camera's memory card and a USB card reader. Also saves batteries on your camera.

Verbatim pic dvd full of pics from canon and nikon cameras reads as empty. What is wrong?

I have a bunch of pictures burned on a cd in Germany. When i put the cd into my macbook pro that i bought in denmark, it says the cd is empty. How can i make my macbook read the pictures?

Let's go back a few steps here. As you're using DVDSP I'm going to assume you edited in Final Cut. What were your sequence settings?
If you open your exported Quicktime movie does it have black bars on the top/bottom?
In DVDSP which display mode are you picking for the track the movie is on?
ok, i completely forgot about this post or i would ahve come in and eliminated it. i found the solution. was supposed to click the menu, then select "16:9 Letterbox" from the menu and that fixed it wholeheartedly. sorry i forgot to post the resply to myself. i am REALLY liking DVD SP unlike my avid friends all told me, it is a full functional authoring suite. i just have to "learn" where everything is and how to get some of the things to function, like music playing while the menu is running, sub menus, etc.
thanks "soundman1024" however for your response

Printing directly from Canon camera

Can I print directly from Canon Powershot G12 camera to Photosmart 6510 printer

Hi,
Not DIRECTLY from the camera but you can always pull the memory card from the camera out and plug it to the printer or to your PC/laptop to print.
Regards.

Does "RAW files from Canon digital cameras cannot be downloaded" MATTER??

Need to buy new camera to use with my G5 and iPHoto 5. I desire (1) affordability, (2) more optical zoom than what I've had in past (want to move from 4x to 6x), and (3) compatible with my G5.
I've had 2 canon powershost (my last, the 570, but a kid dropped it). Easy to use. So maybe simliar, or something nicer.
Been studying the Canon web site about their various cameras. For the above reasons I like thePowerShot SX100 IS, about $240. 6x optical zoom.
HOWEVER, in the MAC OSX compatibility section at Canon it has this quote:
* Mac OS X 10.1 and newer come with Image Capture drivers that support most of Canon's digital cameras with USB interfaces. When a compatible camera is connected to a compatible Mac computer running OS X 10.1 and newer, the computer detects the camera and automatically launches Image Capture. This Apple program allows JPEG images in the camera to be downloaded to the Macintosh. NOTE: RAW files from Canon digital cameras cannot be downloaded in OS X via Image Capture. We suggest the use of File Viewer Utility or an external card reader. Also, movie files shot with PowerShot cameras cannot be downloaded in OS X via Image Capture or iPhoto. We suggest the use of ImageBrowser or an external card reader.
Additionally, Image Capture can access JPEG images directly from a CompactFlash card using an OS X-compatible card reader or using a PC Card Adapter in the PC Card slot of an Apple PowerBook.**
This line caught me confused: *RAW files from Canon digital cameras cannot be downloaded*
In the past, I just plugged in the Canon Camera, and iPhoto 5 opened, and I h appily downloaded the picts and off and away I was.
Will this still happen??? And if I'm not getting the "RAW" picts (whatever that is), but just the JPEGS I'm used to, am I not getting "all" the picts, or the best that my camera could be given me for eventually printing?
Am I worrying about nothing?
Finally, any camera suggestions? Under $300 , super picts, 5-10x zoom, and friendly with my Mac
Thanks

You know, because you ask the question, I'll guess that it won't really matter to you...
Every camera shoots RAW - that's the total information that the sensor on the camera sees, but mid- and lower end cameras process this RAW data into an easy to use format such as jpegs.
Many (but not all) Pros demand that the camera provide all the data to the computer, so that the photographer can process the images him/her self. For most casual and family users this is not an issue. For the serious hobbyist and the Pro it might well be.
For more on Raw have a look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rawimageformat
Btw, later versions of iPhoto do work with Some Raw formats.
As to cameras:
I used a Canon S2 IS for a couple of years and found it really good. There's and S3 and an S5 now too. Currently I'm using a Panasonic FZ8. I really like it.

Trying to download video into Final cut pro from my canon XHA1 HD camera

I have a brand new I-mac 24 inch 4gs of memory and a terabite of hard drive, with Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 Studio 2. I have a brand new Canon XHA1 HD camera. when I plug in my 4pin firewire the computer it won't except the camera or the firewire, but I-movie will? the warning sign says it can't find the firewire? does any body know what settings I need to set, so my computer will except and download my video footage in final cut pro?

I've got the Canon XH-A1, but I'm still using FCP 5.1.4, for the moment. I've had no problem capturing from the camera. Are you using Log and Capture? The simplest way to try capturing, once you're in Log and Capture is to hit play in the controller section (or space bar), and then use the capture now button, once the video has started playing. There is an entire chapter in the book on how to use the log and capture facility, so I'm not going to get too detailed here. If you can't get it to work, please be specific about how far you get. Can you play the video on the camera?, Does it show the transport controls?, etc.
