Edit footage shot from canon 60D

Hi,
I am new to dslr video shooting. I want to edit the footage I shot with the canon 60D. I have some problems withe settings. I know that canon 60D shot in h264 so I have converted my footage to apple prores 422 (HQ)...I was wondering what setting should I set for the easy set up? I am not sure what should I set. I shot the footage in 1920 24p. And also, if i finish edting, do i just use the quicktime conversion and export the video to h264 again? or there is other setting? thanks!

That was overkill for the video produced by your camera. If you are using a recent edition of Final Cut Studio, you could have chosen Pro Res LT which would have given equal picture quality/FCP compatibility, in much less disk space.
I was wondering what setting should I set for the easy set up?
You don't need to worry about Easy Set Up as that is primarily designed to assist in the setup to capture material from tape.
Create a project, import you converted footage, and the first time you drag or edit an imported clip to your timeline, FCP will offer to match your sequence settings to your source footage. Say Yes and you should be ready to go.
And also, if i finish edting, do i just use the quicktime conversion and export the video to h264 again?
The answer to this depends on how you intend to use your edited video - are you planning on posting it on the web? The end use will dictate what format you convert your edited footage to.

Hi there - footage shot from iphone 4 and iphone 5

I am trying to edit together footage shot from iphone 4 and iphone 5 - one set of footage is 1280x720 and the other clip is 640x480 - do I have any options to make the one clip that is a different size match to the others

Damage is always a possibility. But Proximity Sensor issues occur with iPhones. There can be several problems, but the current one most are experiencing is too much light or motion is getting through the Front Glass Sensor Hole. The fix is to partially cover the sensors and only allow them small (just larger than pinpoint holes) to receive data. Youtube Videos show this fix, search there for examples.

Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is no relevance.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

Choppy Playback FCPx from Canon 60D Footage

Hi guys,
Running Lion on MBP with 8GB ram 2.53 Ghz dual core. Moved up from iMovie 09 to FCPx. Shooting 1920 x 1080 30P on Canon 60D DSLR. Using card reader and importing into FCPx. Playback is choppy and sound is out of sync. Unusable. Read that the Canon plugin CE1110X.dmg wasnt necessary with FCPx and that DSLR users' lives were made a lot easier in FCPx. Hmmm. Downloaded the plugin out of desperation but no improvement. What am I doing wrong?
Interestingly enough, my wife is running Snow Leopard on MBP with FCPx and the same footage plays smoothly in FCPx. The project doesn't export so great but that's another probem altogether.
Help! Thanks.

Thank you.
I've tried saving to the external hard-drive WD My Book Studio 2TB (over 1 TB free) and also to the 250GB MBP hard drive, 40 or so GB free to see if it made a difference.

All clips from Canon 60D come out lagging

I just recently bought both a Canon 60D and Final Cut Pro X for my Macbook Pro. I have since tried repeatedly, in several ways, to upload my shot footage from that camera, and all of it lags and is choppy, at many points, having the frames dropped left and right.
I have tried:
1). Converting my .mov files to Apple ProRes
2). Changing the frame rate
3). Uploading the clips from their converted states off of a 1 TB hard drive into Final Cut
Among many others. The above methods didn't work.
I also tried editing the clips in Adobe Premiere... it lagged on there, too!
Two things though....
1). It DID play on iMovie just fine... along with Quicktime Player and a few other mediums that don't do what I want to do
2). Playback on the camera itself is smooth and clear just like I shot it.
HELP!! I've been trying to figure out my lagging issues for a week now. Help, PLEASE.

If they didn't play back smoothly with Pr or FCPX, I would wonder about hardware issues. Check to se that you have adequate free space on your system drive ~ 20% would be good. What are your system specs?
Also, here you're singling out the DSLR clips. How about HD footage from other sources?

Missing pictures and some with interference across them, following upload from Canon 60d

I am getting intermittent images missing and some with interference across them, following upload from a Canon 60d into iPhoto 9.6. on my Macbook Pro. I have uploaded the same pictures to my iMac 2006 and they are all fine. Anybody got any idea as to what might be happening here?
Thankyou
Andy

Corrupted RAW photos in iPhoto 9.6 (Yosemite) from Canon 60D

Early 2008 iMac, 4GB RAM, Yosemite 10.10.1, iPhoto 9.56 (910.29), Canon 60D. Downloaded images/thumbnails from camera via cable, card reader or backup hard drive are partially to fully blacked out in iPhoto. This does not happen with cable down load to MacAir or on iMac with older Canon camera. Have formatted and changed memory card in camera, reinstalled Yosemite and iPhoto to no avail. I need iPhoto to work seamlessly with my camera the way it used to or find an alternative. No work arounds, please. I can do that. I'd like my system and software to work the way it's supposed to work. Thank you.

Which version of the RAW support do you have installed?
If the problem directly started after installing the latest RAW support, try reinstall the RAW support by downloading it from Apple's download page.
That helped in similar cases, e.g.: Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:
To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field. Click the "Go" button.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the files back, if need be)
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.

Elements 7.. raw plugin 5.5 .. Dose not support raw files from Canon 60D

Elements 7 dose not support raw files Canon 60D. I have up dated the raw plugin to 5.5 still dose not support my cameras raw files

The 60D is included from ACR 6.2 on. I think that means you may need Elements 9 or later.

I cannot open my RAW pictures from Canon 60D in CS2

I cannot open the RAW picture in CS2. I realize its a really old version of CS, but I don't want to upgrade if I don't have to. What can I do to open my RAW pictures? I am taking the pictures with a Canon 60D? Please help!! Thanks!!

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
The 60D requires Camera Raw 6.2 or later which is only compatible with CS5 or later.
Raw support is never added retrospectively to older versions so you'll never be able to open 60D Raw files with CS2.
If upgrading is not an option then your best option is to download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all 60D Raw files to DNG format then try editing the DNGs in CS2.

Need to edit footage shot in anamorphic/Sqeeze with footage shot widescreen

Okay, so I had two DPs who were supposed to sync the footage specs and didn't. Now I have part of the project that was shot in anamorphic/squeeze on dvx100a and then part of the footage shot in regular widescreen 16x9 on dvx100a. I've been told those are two different pixel ratios... how do I do this?
Help. Under deadline for dvd distribution for this web series. Thanks!

Hey Shawn.. for sure, I am going to edit it in final cut but the first part of the project, the sequence setting had to be set to anamorphic. When I do that for the second half shot in widescreen, it distorts it.
I'm not sure how to solve that, since the output to digibeta has to be continuous. If I do a sequence in anamorphic, the widescreen distorts, and visa versa.
Any suggestions for that?

IMovie footage shot with Canon XL2 looks exports to m4v which looks lousy

Video shot with Canon XL2, captured/imported into iMovie, it looks good in iMovie but when sharing it, it turns into m4v. Is this correct? Burned DVD in iDVD and it looks lousy. Isn't it supposed to be a mov file and not m4v?

Does that require me to get rid of my 100 Hz or 200 Hz screen and exchange it for a 24 Hz screen?
No. This stuff looks equally good on CRT, Plasma or LCD. (Though I do recommend leaving off such things as 100 Hz modes, as they have a tendency to produce the opposite effect, making film look more like video.)
Film shot at 24 FPS is shown as 48 half frames,
Where on earth did you get that idea? Film is always shown theatrically as whole frames, whether 24 or 48 fps.
When will you send me the ticket?
Opening day for my first fiction project will be in my cousin's basement home theater, on a 9 foot screen with overhead projection. I'll let you know when the release date approaches. Better get your ticket early, though. I'm expecting a line all the way around the shed, stretching clear to the garbage cans.

Exporting Footage Shot in Canon HF G10 Cinema Mode

I am currently shooting a film using Canon's HF G10 Cinema Mode and using Final Cut Express to edit it. I imported the footage no problem and it looks incredible; however, once I export it using Quicktime or Quicktime Conversion, the video color is washed out, it's blurry and blotchy, and the film look has disappeared. I've tried several things and done a lot of research but I can't seem to fix the issue. Can anyone help?

I suspect this has something to do with the Canon Cinema Mode, which is a combination of an in-camera filter plus PF24 recording mode (24p over 60i). FCE does not support 24fps nor does it support progressive in any mode other than 720p. Canon's PF24 is a proprietary method of putting 24p material in a 60i video recording.
Start by checking the clip properties for one of your clips. (Control-click a clip in the FCE Browser, select Item Properties, and tell us what it says for compressor, vid rate and frame size.) Also check your Sequence settings for the Sequence you put the clip into - tell us what it says for compressor, vid rate and frame size. Post what you find for each.

Editing footage not from a camera?

I do not own a camera, and I purchased Premiere Elements 9 only last month. Most of my clips are animation that I've created in 3d programs and saved as avi files. How do I import and process these in PrE9 without getting annoying interlacing artifacts (visible scan lines)? All the presets that I see when starting the program look like they assume you are using an NTSC or PAL digital camera. But none of my work is made with a camera. I just dl'd the pdf version of the manual, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks for reading.

The footage in that sample was from a 3d animation I had made in a program called Poser.
I have also created animations in a program called Animation: Master using the same
Microsoft Video 1 setting, and they showed the same interlace lines after editing.
I've also seen it happen with mp4's from Internet Archive that I used when first testing the software.
The artifacts seem to appear most frequently if I Share the finished video as a .wmv file through PrE9.
The workaround I've been doing is to Share from PrE9 as an .avi, and then convert that to a .wmv using
Windows Movie Maker, but that should be an unnecessary step when PrE9 is supposed to do the same thing.
Ten years ago, I used to have access to Adobe Premiere 6 and was using it for the same type of animation
editing, except then I would save as .avi or .mov, as it didn't have .wmv capability.

Editing footage shot at different angles?

I imported 2 videos into FCP that required rendering once in the Timeline. Each segment was placed into its own sequence.
I placed In and Out points on both videos in each sequence and copied and pasted selected portions of the video into a whole new sequence.
In the new sequence, I layered the 2 videos on top of each other and used the razor tool to cut out selected portions on the top layer so the video underneath shows through to create the effect of different cuts.
1.) After making my cuts, the cut segments require rendering. Why is this?
2.) What is the correct way to cut together 2 different videos of the same thing shot at 2 different angles?
Thanks!!!

1) For a start, your clips should not need rendering at all if you have the sequence settings properly set. What format are you shooting in? Go up to Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup and select one that matches the settings on the camera when it was shot.
If you have a clip that for some reason requires rendering, any change you make to that clip will require re-rendering. When you place a clip on top of one another and then remove it, it will not "remember" the render settings for the lower clip. It renders the sequence as a whole and does not render each layer individually.
2) The best way to do this would be to create a Multiclip. Select the clips in the browser, then control-click and select Make Multiclip. When you open the new clip in the Viewer, you will be able to see all of the angles simultaneously. Go to Tools > Button Bars and there should be a multiclip option there. You can now cut between angles by using the various razor blades above the timeline.
P.S. If I have completely confused you, the manual takes you through it step-by-step with pictures to help.

How Do I Edit Footage Recorded From Adobe Media Server?

I'm using the current version of Premiere Pro CC and I'm trying to import videos recorded live from Adobe Media Server.
I'm assuming it's the "nellymoser" audio codec that's stopping me from importing the recorded flvs.
I've been transcoding using ffmpeg, but I want to speed up this process. Any ideas?
Also, this may be a stupid question, but why the heck is a codec (nellymoser) that is owned by Adobe not supported by Adobe Premiere Pro?

I was reading up about nellymoser on Wikipedia (the most reliable source!) and it seems like Adobe has problems with the licensing for nellymoser. They apparently tried to release a standalone converter, but the licence agreement that was inherited with the codec didn't allow it.
So maybe it's just a rock in a hard place situation. Really too bad, if this is the case, that a company can own something but not be able to allow their customers to use it fully.
