FCE capture from my Canon XHA1 captures as one long clip

I've never had this problem capture using FCE before. I'm capturing from a Canon XHA1 and it's capturing the video as one long clip rather than the many short clips I shot. And unlike when you capture DV, you can't use the "DV start/stop Detect option" when the footage is HD..so that's not a solution.
I'm using a new Macbook pro and was wondering if that has anything to do with it given that i"m using the newest OSX as well.
Any ideas? It appeared to do the same thing when I captured into iMovie.
Or or is there a setting on the camera that I've failed to change?

Dear Phojo1,
I also have a XHA1 and am experiencing the same problem. I was wondering if you shot your footage in HD, and what are your settings on your camera for recording and outputting. The first footage I captured I used hd with 1440x 1080 apple intermediate with 29.97 rate. I had no problem. It captured each clip separately. Now I can only capture with dv/ntsc settings. I'm am trying to see where the problem is. By the way this started happening when I upgraded to 4.01. It also does the same in imovie. Thanks for any information.

What is a good video converter for iMac? Premiere 6 will not capture from the Canon VIXIA HF G20.

What is a good video converter for iMac? Premiere 6 will not capture from the Canon VIXIA HF G20.

Rather than convert, you'd be better off capturing with a more current version of the program -- one that supports AVCHD video. Otherwise, you're in for a lot of headache. A converter isn't going to solve your problems.
BTW, when you say Premiere 6, do you mean Premiere 6 -- which is over 10 years old? (There was no Premiere Elements 6.)
Trust me on this: Capture with a Mac version of Premiere Elements 11 or 12 and your video will be perfectly compatible with any Mac program.

Capturing from a Canon HV20 for CS5.5 on a Mac

Hi everyone,
Never had this problem on any version of the CS system and now all of a sudden I can't capture from the Canon HV20 anymore. It keeps telling me to check the settings but they all seem ok.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Jo

Mark, by any chance in your interviews, did you use a combination of mikes on 2 different channels? For example, did you use a boom on one channel and a lav on the other? If so, and you are importing as stereo, you might be having phase problems between the two mikes, making it sound weak. Try turning off stereo pair under the modify pulldown and turn one of the tracks off.
Does that improve thinga?
Of course you might just have had an idiot for an engineer...

New Mac Mini + reinstalled FCE4 = no capture from my Canon HV10?

I used to have an iMac 24" with FCE4, and then I switched to a 2010 Mac Mini 2.4GHz 4GB and reinstalled FCE4.
I don't remember exactly what the menu options looked like for capturing in the past, but I do recall it was dead simple. I would select some sort of Capture menu item and it would start my firewire-connected Canon HV10 playing and capturing (while showing a 0-1sec delayed preview of what was being captured.
Now I have two capture menu entries: Capture Project..., and Capture... . Capture Project doesn't work (it errors about selection error, batch capture, no sequence), and Capture pops up this big window that I never recall seeing before along with an error: "Capture Preset must have a video or an audio digitizer set to capture. Please change to desired preset in the Audio/Video Settings." I'm not even sure where the Audio/Video settings are; they don't appear to be in User Preferences, System Settings, or Easy Setup. And incidentally, I have my Easy Setup set to AVCHD 1440x1080i60, which I believe is correct for my video camera.
I have confirmed that my machine sees the camera device in the Firewire list:
HV10:
Manufacturer: Canon
Model: 0x10
GUID: 0x85000124CAFB
Maximum Speed: Up to 100 Mb/sec
Connection Speed: Up to 100 Mb/sec
Sub-units:
HV10 Unit:
Unit Software Version: 0x10001
Unit Spec ID: 0xA02D
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the fast and correct solution! I don't know why I got the setup wrong this time, or for that matter why I got it right on my previous install
Now that I have configured my Easy Setup the way you described, my capture works just as it did before.
Thanks!

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.

Capture from Two Tables and Apply in one Table

Hi All,
Is it possible to capture from two tables (master and child table) and apply in one table?
For example,
1. DEPT and EMP tables in source database with relation
DEPT table structure is like DEPT_ID, DEPT_NAME, LOC_NAME
EMP table structure is like EMP_ID, EMP_NAME, EMP_DOJ, EMP_SAL, DEPT_ID
2. EMP_DEPT_STAGING in destination database
EMP_DEPT_STAGING table structure is like EMP_ID, EMP_NAME, EMP_DOJ, EMP_SAL, DEPT_ID. DEPT_NAME, LOC_NAME
if there is any update in DEPT table, EMP_DEPT_STAGING should get populated with Department and its employee details. Similarly, if there is any update in EMP table EMP_DEPT_STAGING table should get populated with Employee details and along with department detail.
Is it possible to accomplish this? If yes, could you please provide me some examples?
Thanks & Regards
Thiyagu

Import from camera (Canon XHA1) in FCPX

When I try to import footage from tape on a Canon XHA1 connected with firewire, it doesn't work, only the webcam appears as an option.
(I already changed the PLAYBACK STD to HDV andHD DOWN-CONV to OFF)
What to do?

ad 0)
why don't you select just the portions you need in FCPX import dialog? Imports from cam (or cam archives) allow the usual skimming, in/out and the new multiple in/out selections …-
ad 1)
I wouldn't use iM's imports at all in FCPX, see following …
ad 2)
yes, there is a loss; iMovie converts to AppleIntermediate, which is versatile but not as good as FCPX' prores.

FCE 4.0 won't capture from my canon zr950

hello everyone, and thanks for your time. i'm not sure if this is an issue with FCE/my computer, my camera or the firewire cable. i've captured footage with this computer and firewire cable before, but not with this camera (borrowing it from a friend). here's my issue:
when i go to capture footage, i get the spinning pinwheel of death. i let it run for over 20 minutes, and the capture screen never surfaced. it was just stuck. so i restarted the computer, and this time i did file -> capture before the camera was connected, to bring up the capture screen. after i did this, i connected the camera, and the same thing happened. on the camera screen, it says DV in, so the camera recognizes the connection. the computer knows something is attached, because as soon as i connect it i get the aforementioned spinning pinwheel, and when i disconnect the computer is once again able to function. any thoughts on what i should do? thanks again for your time!

Have you got the correct Easy Setup ......... FCE may need a different one from that used by your other cameras?

Unable to capture from my Canon hv30

I just tried to capture some footage from my hv30, the first time I've tried, and it say's on the capture screen that the capture device is off line. I have the camera properly connected and its in the right setting, is there some setting in premiere that's i have wrong? I have another program that came with the camera, and it can't connect to the camera either, saying that its not connected. Not sure what to do at this point, so if anyone has any ideas that would be awesome.

This is the most weird camera I have ever seen, you have a miniDV tape camera appartently without a Firewire I/O connector. I just looked at this Canon specification http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=177&modelid=1620 6#ModelTechSpecsAct
and there is nothing about a Firewire/IEEE-1394/etc. Without a firewire interface Premiere is unable to capture video. apparently there is some software supplied with the camera, maybe it can capture the video via the USB interface to your computer and then (if it is the correct format) you can import it to Premiere.

How do I print to video HD footage captured from HD Canon HD20?

So far I've not seen any solutions on the discussion threads for those of us who are unsuccessful in printing to video via firewire back to our HD cameras for archive or display on a HD display via HDMI.
I have combed the posts in several places for settings, and believe mine are correct. FCP
seems happy to export. My camera is obviously not recognized so that it can record.
This seems to be a serious, major, and wide-spread flow in FCP's current work flow, or
am I "unclear" on the concept? Thanks in advance! Apple folks... are you there??

Well, I just BOUGHT this camera yesterday (HV20) and...well...I haven't printed back to tape yet. Don't think I plan to. I'll be making DVDs and outputting to higher end HD formats...like DVCPRO HD or...or...well, that's probably about it.
I don't know what the issue people have with Canon is. I have a GL-1...never had an issue shooting and capturing with it. I pulled the HV20 out of the box, switched it to 24f mode, shutter to 48. Shot for 10 min, captured it without an issue (HDV 1080i60 Firewire Basic) and even captured ONE clip...the camera was started and stopped a dozen times.
But, I haven't printed to tape. I just wanted to say that I have had a positive experience with the camera.

Capturing from my canon vixia HV40 was working, now it doesnt ?

So i've been using final cut pro 7 for a while with my canon vixia hv40 capturing my minidv footage trough a firewire cable. It was all working properly till i updated my Itunes (10) and some software updates. Now, final cut pro doesn't recognize my camera, it says when i open the program Unable to locate the following external devices : apple firewire NTSC (720x480). My setting are still the same on my camera and on final cut pro. For my Video and audio settings everything is set at DV-NTSC 48 kHz . I've deleted my preferences for the program and tried to create another user to rerun final cut but nothing works. I have a video project due in 2 weeks could somebody help me ????

So david , what you are telling me is that Itunes did affect FCP ?
Did it happen to other people ?
Just want a confirmation before i do the change.
Also, i though HDV format wasn't possible on Minidv cassette ( i can be wrong ).

Assume you are connected by Firewire, and that FCE has Import in some menu? Also check FCE Forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_expr ess_hd?view=discussions.

Recently when I download photos from my Canon G11 I get one or two "unsupported image format" This seems to happen when I have taken a photo of the same subject but have zoomed in on it. Why does this happen and what can I do to prevent this?

What can I do to prevent this from happening? I would like to have all my images downloaded from camera to computer and then make my choice as to which one to keep and which to deleted.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Dropped frames on capture from miniDV camcorder

Can't capture as I'm instantly gettting 'dropped frames on last capture' error message. I can control my sony DCR-PC5E PAL camcorder remotely though using Firewire.
Any suggestions as to how I overcome this please?

Dropped frames during capture are typically caused by:
· Bad tape
· Dirty or misaligned playback heads
· Defective Firewire cable
· Poor data throughput - using a Firewire hub; capturing from a Canon device; capturing to a USB hard drive; capturing to an improperly formatted hard drive; too many Firewire devices sharing the same Firewire bus
