Editing MOV files from Canon5DII

I am importing MOV files from my 5DII. The images are gorgeous, but I have to constantly render. What is the cleanest way to solve this problem. Do I need to convert/transcode? Thanks. Joe Burns

Hi(Bonjour)!
You have to convert this material to one of format supported by FCE (DV NTSC, DV-PAL, or Apple Intermediate codec 1080 or 720).
Search this forum with *Sqared5 MPEG streamclip* keywords.

  • Premiere Elements 2.0  how can I edit MOV. files from my camcorder

    I have Elements 2.0 and I can't get it to work with the mov. files from my canon digital camcorder.    The picture does not even come in and then I tried to convert the mov. file to mpeg2 and that worked ok but when I moved it to the elements editing software the video played perfect but the sound would not come in at all?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    First, MOV is but a "wrapper," and can contain all sorts of "stuff," mostly different CODEC's. This ARTICLE will give you background on what can be inside those "wrappers," plus tell you how to "peek" inside of them.
    For most MOV files, I use Apple's QuickTime Pro (US$29 upgrade/unlock), and choose DV-AVI w/ the DV/DVCPRO CODEC (compression) and 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV for the Audio.
    About the only MOV format/CODEC, that I do not have issues with is the Animation CODEC. I use those in PrPro to edit natively, when an artist, or client provides me material from a Mac. I just specify the Animation CODEC, and things work fine. Other MOV CODEC's - well, not so well.
    Good luck,

  • How to create editable .mov files from After Effects

    Hi,
    I am creating videos for my clients using after effects.
    The requirment is that they should be able to edit the .mov files e.g adding their company name, text or logo without using after effects without losing any effects.
    How can I accomplish this?
    Thanks....

    Editing video is not possible with Photoshop Elements.
    Photoshop Elements is for photo editing
    In order to edit videos , you should use Premiere Elements or Premiere Pro
    However, Adobe does offer a combined package of Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements, which might work perfectly for someone who just needs the most basic tools for editing both photos and video.

  • IPhoto reads wrong date of .mov file from iPhone 3GS...help!

    Hi all
    Need some help/advice please.
    I have a bunch of files I am importing in to iPhoto that were initially downloaded to a windows laptop. I used Graphic Converter (GC) to successfully rotate and align the creation/modified dates so iPhoto reads the correct date. Now GC edits the .jpg and .avi file metadata fine, but wont edit .mov files from my iPhone? So now the iPhone videos are strewn all over the place in iPhoto compared to where they should be date-wise. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
    The .mov files in GC show the correct creation date, but iPhoto reads the actuals file's modified date instead of the internal creation date? So strange?
    Thanks
    Jared

    iPhoto gets it's date and time from the Photos Exif metadata, not the file creation or modification dates. It will only use those if your photos have no Exif.
    If you subsequently export these files then the created and modification dates a re very likely to change.
    You can adjust the date and time rather more easily in iPhoto (Using either the Photos -> Adjust Date and Time and/or the Photos -> Batch Change commands) You can also write the corrected date and time to the Exif of the oriignals files, and export it along with the file in the future.
    I'm not sure what's up with the dates on these mov files, but Movies don't have an Exif. You might want to check with the makers of Graphic Coverter for help.
    You know that you can move pics and movies around inside iPhoto, right? Drag them from Event to Event?

  • Playback artifacts with MOV files from GH3

    I have successfully played and edited MOV files from GH3 on this computer, but I suddenly (End of August) started having rendering artifacts in preview, after rendering in the timeline monitor, and on export.  I've tried several different MOV files with the same issue.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime.  When I first open quicktime after an installation, it plays the source files cleanly. But after I run Premiere Pro, I can't get clean playback in either PP or QT.  I've disabled the Nvidia Drivers for the GeForve GTX770 video card and still get the artifacts.
    Any ideas about what might be going on?

    Thank you so much for your reply.
    Yes, I have CUDA installed.  I see the artifacts in the source monitor as well as the timeline monitor.  I have tried exporting in several formats and the artifacts appear randomly in all outputs.  I can get a clean export of the same files and projects from my laptop - HP Zbook.
    Quicktime Player also displays the artifacts, but when I uninstall and reinstall Quicktime the display is clear until I try to edit again in Premiere. Then the artifacts start to appear randomly in Quicktime Player as well.

  • Mov files from Iphone lagging when attempting to edit in imovie.

    Recently I imported a couple videos (mov files) from my iphone to edit them in imovie.. but for some reason they keep lagging. when I drag the mouse across the clip the playhead line doesnt even keep up... All videos I shot in the past have been edited just fine without lagging and they still don't when I checked them in my events.. So I have reason to believe its the file but they're all Mov files. If anyone has insight on these I will appreciate the help...Thank You.

    Hi Tyler!
    Of the options you list I would choose 'Raw DV'. iMovie is designed to handle a DV stream @ 13GB per hour, for editing and transfer to iDVD.
    But ask the vendor to confirm that his 'Raw DV' is designed for transfer to iMovie 6 on an Apple Mac, and before he loads up the hard drive you are supplying make sure that it has been formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

  • Unable to import movie files from iphoto '08 into imovie HD

    I have recently bought a 2008 macbook (2.2 GHz) and have recently downloaded imovie HD in addition to owning iLife '08 due to its extra capabilities. I have found that I am unable to import any of my movie files from my iphoto library folder as it seems to need to open the actual iphoto application before the files can be accessed. In addition, when not using any specific program it would be nice to be able to access my photo/video files within the iphoto folder without iphoto automatically opening as the default viewer.
    Any ideas??!! Thanks.

    .. and I import AVI video clips directly without converting to .dv, without problems.
    lucky you.. .avi is just a container, no 'format'/codec .. I can show you dozends of .avis, which will NOT import into iMHD6, due to being playback-codecs, not convertable by the underlying Quicktime engine into separte, editable audio+video streams ..
    .. If you convert to .dv, the size just blows up.
    dv is 13GB/h and a codec meant for editing; e.g. it stores every frame (video=30 frams/sec) of a recording, as mpegs usually doesn't do so.. = your Mac has to estimate content, when converting and 'recovering' the content = lossy process.
    iMHD6 is a dv-editor; the mpeg4 feature is only a toy, to spice up iSight recordings.. for sure, the QTengine can convert a lot, but too much conversion (from one lossy codec, e.g. divx, into another, e.g. mp4) means a (dramatic) loss of pic quality..
    my 5€ cents ..

  • How do I move files from Event Library to Project Library?

    How do I move Files from Event Library to Project Library? I tried drop and drag, that didn't work. I am new to Apple. I have always had a windows box b4 this. If anyone can help, please do. Thanks
    Alain

    welcome argardner to the  boards..
    you're missing the concept of iM .. you don't move 'files' from Event to Project Library.. Events is the big box of all your imported clips; now, from that box of bricks, you drag the clips into all kind of projects.. you can 're-use' the same clip again'n again in many projects.. you can use all clips of all Events in one Project.. or all clips of one Event in two projects.. or..
    spend some time here:
    http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovie08_GettingStarted.pdf
    the concept of Events & Projects, Clips and Libraries is at first glance very different to 'normal' editing apps, but you'll get convenient to it within minutes..

  • Problem editing .mov files in CS6

    Hi Adobe folk,
    I've uploaded .mov files from my Canon 7D camera onto Adobe Premiere CS6, but after doing some editing the footage in the playback screen is very jerky/slow. I'm working on a brand new iMac OSX and have a RAM of 4GB, so I have no idea why the playback would be so slow.
    It's an urgent project that I'm working on, so any solutions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks :-)

    All .mov files aren't the same thing though. Quicktime/.mov files are just the "container" for the actual "codec" the codec is what determines basically everything other than the file extension itself anyways. Basically the type of .mov file you're attempting to edit is using the h.264 codec, which is a codec that puts a TON of strain on your CPU. Converting the files to ProRes would make playback better, but will produce huge files, and if you start stacking several layers of video on top of each other it will start to playback in a choppy manor, because you're not using a RAID array.  In this case I don't think the RAM will help that much, although it should make your overall experince much better.
    Although how many layers of video are you attempting to edit on the same track and what effects are you using? Because your system should be able to at least playback a single video clip inside Premiere without issue.
    Although once you post what the resolution is I'll be able to recommend what codec to use, because for certain resolutions some codecs tend to become more efficient than others. But basically unless you have FCP on your machine you can't convert to ProRes, however if you don't have final cut no worries because you can use the Cineform codec which is just as good as ProRes. The cineform codec is also free now days which is great.  But honestly I think that most likely you're going to need to transcode the footage to a ligher codec, basically you don't need to worry about files being too big because, even though it seems like a smaller file would be easier for your machine to handle it's actually quite the opposite unless you start hitting a HDD bottleneck. Which won't happen in most cases, (depending on resolution etc though or unelss the video is totally uncompressed HD).
    Here is the basic reason why the less compressed a video clip is the easier you can edit the file without strain on the CPU. Video clips that use "GOP's" or Group of Pictures use
    I - frames
    B - frames
    P - frames        (With mpeg-1 there is also D-frames but it's not used anymore to my knowledge)
    Anyways though when your CPU plays back a h.264 clip it has to decode the video which the longer the GOP is the harder your CPU has to work, and in general H.264 footage is almost always GOP because it's so heavily compressed. Unless it's I-frame only. Because basically the further the I-frames are from each other the harder your cpu must work to decode it. When dealing with footage that is much less compressed though you're CPU is basically free to process other stuff such as heavy CC or other effects.

  • Importing and Editing .MOV Files

    Hello,
    I would like to know if After Effects can edit .MOV files or should these type files be converted to another format? I imported a .mov file to After Effects and although I can view the movie in the composition window. I don't see any other information that would allow me to edit the video. No layer info.
    Can someone fill me in on why this is happining?
    Thank You
    Tontyp

    Hi,
    Thank you all for your advice and help. I only wanted to change some text in a video template that was created with the Adobe After Effects program. As you said it is proving to be more trouble than it is worth. I will go back to the drawing board so to speak and start from the begining  Mean while I will just create a new video with another software. I do thank you very much for your input as it may have saved me hours of wasted time.
    Thanks Again,

  • .mov file from Canon 5D Mark II file blurry in Timeline

    Haven't use FC in quite a while, so I'm a bit rusty.
    When I import a clip into FC, it looks fine in the Viewer, but when I move it into the timeline it looks blurry in the Canvas. It remains blurry even after rendering and even after exporting with no compression. The file is a .mov file from a Canon 5D Mark II. I tried exporting it from QT as a QT file with no compression, as well as just importing the uncompressed .mov file, but nothing works. I'm sure it's something simple.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Transferring HD movie files from Sony HDR-SR7 to Macintosh computer

    I am contemplating buying a Sony High Definition Camcorder Model HDR-SR7. That model has a built in 60 GB hard drive on the camcorder. I would like to transfer the HD movie files to my PowerBook G4. I am told that a USB cable is available with a dock for the HDR-SR7 camcorder. My question is whether that USB transfer option is compatible with the MAC OS. Specifically will I be able to transfer the movie files from the camcorder to my PB G4 internal hard disk? I am not necessarily interested in editing the movie files---just want to transfer. If the USB option does not work are there any other options that will allow me to transfer the movie files ?

    Elliot: I know you say you don't want to edit, but this thread could be interesting for you:
