Element doesn't recognize my camcorder

I have a custom built computer. When I try to use the capture feature of Elements, I get a message that my camcorder  (Canon Vixia HF300) is not connected. After searching the manual I found a statement that said that the "Transfer Utility" software does not work with a custom built computer. I have to download all the files on the camcorder's memory stick to Organizer in order to access the video files. It is a long and tedious procedure. I have another older digital camcorder that records on tapes, and I have not trouble capturing video from it. Is there something I can do to have Elements recognize my camcorder?  John H.

No need to dismount your external firewire drives.
Have you tried opening iMovie 08, then plugging in the camera to the firewire?
Camera should be plugged into electric power (not batteries).
Make sure your camera is turned on and in the right mode according to your owners manual. This is probably PC mode or playback mode.
I can't think of a reason that this camera would not work. It sounds like a vanilla miniDV camcorder.

  • Why Quicktime doesn't recognize my camcorder HVR-A1 on a smaller Macbook but does on the 17" one?

    Why Quicktime doesn't recognize my camcorder HVR-A1 on a smaller Macbook but does on the 17" one using 400 Firewire adapted to 800?

    I'm baffled why the mic works fine with Dictation but not with QuickTime.
    QT likely uses core routines which are compatible with your Lion OS and what can be seen in the "System Preferences" window. On the other hand, Dictation may be using an alternative workflow which can still see/use your mic. To add to the confusion, it appears Lion included changed audio handling routines which, according to some, were released before proper test had been completed and finalized with the release of Mountain Lion. (I.e., Snapz Pro X and WireTap from Ambrosia are still scrambling to update their system audio capture software for these changes but ScreenFlow's routines seem to work already.) In any case, I suspect your problem may be related to the Lion/Mountain Lion audio handling modifications but have no way to confirm such at this time.

  • MacBook Pro doesn't recognize JVC camcorder GR-X5E

    Hello
    Does somebody know any kind of "adapter" for MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5.8 that makes the signals of my JVC camcorder GR-X5E readable?
    jvc.ch doesn't has a solution
    Thank's in advance!

    I only used the USB cable to connect camera and MacBook, opened iMovie and waited until the icon would appear. It didn't. Also on the desktop nothing happend.
    Therefore I asked jvc.ch and they said, that there was no possibility...

  • IMovie 8.0.5 doesn't recognize Firewire Camcorder

    ...but iMovie 6.0.3 does. I'm using both versions of iMovie because of my 3rd party plugins which stopped working in newer iMovie versions. SystemProfiler shows camera, I tried different accounts with same results.

    Ok, meanwhile it works, don't ask me why... but my Phonic Firefly 202 USB Audio interfsace doesn't work with iMovie 8.0.5. It works with all other applications, even with iMovie HD 6.0.4.

  • I need help getting elements 11 to recognize my internal microphone

    I have premiere elements 11 and am trying to add narration to a clip and elements doesn't recognize my internal laptop microphone.  When I go to preferences and click on default device all that is there is premiere elements WDM sound.  The mic works in windows and is set as the default device.  Any help would really be appreciated.

    Wonderful news that your Narration Tool is working.
    Your thread had a beneficial effect for me. I did some checking with my laptop which has an internal microphone. I do not use it and found it
    in bad shape. I am in the process of configuring it to a usable state.
    Please never hesitate to ask questions or to ask for clarification - never a bother. We are glad for the opportunity to help.
    Best wishes.

  • Using Photoshop Elements to edit raw.  Doesn't recognize file type

    I recently downloaded photoshop elements to use as my editor within Iphoto. I've set it up as the default editor in preferences, and made the appropriate change in the advanced settings within Iphoto so that it exports edits in RAW. When I attempt to edit by double clicking, Photoshop Elements gives me a msg that it can't open file because it does not recognize the file type. Does anyone know why this would be? I am using a Nikon D60. I haven't downloaded the Nikon software onto the computer (not sure if that has anything to do with it). Does photoshop elements need anything additional? Any help appreciated.
    Thx
    Richie

    Richie:
    As Terence mentioned we can help with using PSE within iPHoto but why PSE doesn't recognize the D60 files is an Adobe issue. I believe there are Adobe plugins available to handle RAW files. Check the Adobe site for those. For using PSE to edit jpgs within iPhoto this may be of some help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

    Has you contacted the seller through its Customer Service?
    If that is the case and Customer Service has no idea of what you were given as a Product Key and how to use it, have you considered asking
    your question in the seller's forum (PC software section)?
    But, I have another idea for you to try first....are you involved in a student teacher purchase with prepaid card? If so, please click on the following link
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number-student-teacher.html#card-sub mit-product-code
    and go to the section on "I received a prepaid card, and I need help". In that section go to "2" which is for
    "Submitting my product code and proof of eligibility to Adobe". You will notice there is a link to click on that
    is related to country. Make the appropriate choice and see if that solves the problem. You should see
    Visit the page listed on the back of your prepaid card to submit your code and proof.

    If the above does not apply to you, then I would explore the seller forum for answers if you cannot get them from Adobe Chat or the seller's

  • Lightroom doesn't recognize PS Elements 6?????

  • Elements 9 Organizer - doesn't recognize .mrw format files

    Using Elements 9 Organizer - it doesn't recognize .mrw file formats when imported to organizer, yet the documentation seems to clearly indicate that it should.  Is there some sort of setting that is preventing it from doing what it professes to do?

    When trying to import the contents of the folder, it does nothing and tell you that the folder didn't contain any recognized file types OR the files were already imported.  Okay, so searching around I found it was the latter and not the former.  (it seems the app could tell you).  BUT, it doesn't tell you where those files are.  Very funny - but not.
