HELP! CANON 5D MARK III TO FCP 7- WHAT IS CORRECT COMPRESSION? LINES THROUGH VIDEO-HELP!

Hi there, so Ive just upgraded from the T2i to Canon 5D Mark III and this is the first time I'm importing footage to final cut. I have FCP 7 (Mac computer) and my video files are 1920x1080, h264 codec shot at 30 fps (29.97). Previously, when importing from the T2i, I used MPEG Streamclip to convert my video files to Apple Prores 422, and then import those compressed files into FCP 7, with field dominance being UPPER, pixels SQUARE. I never had an issue of quality loss or lines through my viewer and canvas using these settings. However, after attempting to do the same with my footage from the Mark III, I got lines through my footage. After researching a bit, I was convinced that the way to eliminate the problem was to download the 5DTORGB app for $50. This has not fixed my problem! Have tried multiple combinations of different field dominance settings and nothing is working. Is this an interlacing problem? I attempted to catch a screenshot but everytime I pause the video or take a shot, the lines do not show...I do not know what is going on! My original mov files are fine, it is only once I convert and import to final cut that they get these little lines... I am desperate for answers, please someone help!!!

Still no change....However, I did export a trial and the vid looks fine, no lines. I guess fcp is just being a little *****! It is just really frustrating me to have to work with these lines going through my clips, even if they do not appear in my exported file....I feel that there must be some hidden issue with my sequence settings....Could you possibly provide a screenshot of the appropriate sequence settings you would use to match a 1920x1080 file with 29.97 fps (already converted from h264 to apple prores 422 thru 5DTORGB) ? I know that usually it is fine to import the newly compressed prores files, and then set sequence to match clips, but since I'm having issues, maybe setting the sequence directly would help?
This is what my sequence settings look like right now, after being matched to my prores clip....
I am concerned because it shows Aspect ratio as HDTV 1080i (16:9) though you have told me my clips from the 5D should be progressive (so shouldnt it be 1080p not 1080i??) Being that there is not option in frame size for 1080p, i tried selecting the "Custom (16:9)" option, but it will not allow it...Just sets it back to 1080i......Any thoughts?

Canon 5D Mark III profile not found in Lens correction filter in PhotoShop CS6

I'm unable to find a profile for my Canon 5D Mark III within the PS CS6 lens correction filter. In fact, Canon isn't even available as a camera make option within the Search Criteria box, nor are any canon lenses. When I click the Search Online button, the prompt reads "No online profiles found". Thankfully, I have no problem within Lightroom 4 (the Mark III and lenses are recognized)-- however, I'd really like to be able to use the new Adaptive Wide Angle Lens filter within CS6, which needs the camera's EXIF data to function correctly. I'm using a new iMac OS X.7
Thanks in advance for any help that you may have to offer.

So that makes me wonder if Lightroom keeps its own Lens Correction folder and if so,perhaps you can copy its Canon folder to Photoshop CS6's lens correction folder.
If you still cannot find it,you can create your own custom profile or download it if it's already been posted.
This article should direct you to the profiler and downloader software. You will need to install Adobe Air to use the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader.

You need to ask this on the Final Cut Studio forum.

Help with focus on Canon 5d mark iii

the answer to my question is probably pitifully obvious so i acknowledge my limits
I'm having a terrible time focusing with my canon 5d mark iii. i primarily use a 35mm 1.4L and an 85mm 1.2L, and use back button focus with ai servo mode. i also usually manually select a single focus square.
its a bit bizarre, but there are days where i constantly nail focus, but then there are days when i miss on 85% of my shots, but i dont think anything is changing (settings) between the shots. the problem arises across a broad aperture range (meaning its not only if shooting at 1.2 or 1.4i don't understand what is happening, and hope someone can help.
the problem arises with both stationary and moving targets.
i would greatly appreciate if someone could help me understand how to improve. some questions include:
1. is it possible there's a flaw with the camera itself?
2. how do i best use back button focus? should i, for exe, hold down the focus button constantly, or only depress it long enough to focus, release, then snap? what about for moving subjects?
3. should i be using a different auto focus mode?
greatly appreciate the help.

You should use "one shot" focus when your subject distance is not changing. You should use "AI Servo" when your subject distance is changing.
Canon doesn't actually recommend just leaving the camera in "AI Servo" mode (it seems like it would be a good catch-all focus mode, but they claim it's not.) The issue with "AI Servo" is that the camera actually expects that the subject actually is changing distance and it's trying to evaluate that in order to use predictive focus. When it turns out the subject is not really moving, they claim it can throw the camera focus accuracy.
When using back-button focus you can press and release the button at will. That's actually the point of it... it was created for situations when you're tracking a subject, suddenly a distancting object enters the frame and you do not want the camera to switch focus to that other object... but then the object passes out of frame and you want to resume focus on your original subject. So you could press-and-hold... and when the distraction shows up in frame just let go... until it's passed and then you can press-and-hold again to resume AI servo focus.
The 5D III has an amazing focus system.
Canon does have a great guide explaining how it works and how to adjust settings and tune it in great detail. You can find it here: http://learn.usa.canon.com/resources/articles/2012/1dx_guidebook.shtml
This same guide is titled for the 1D X but if you read the intro they explain that it's really for both the 1D X and the 5D III which have nearly identical focus systems.
There's a PDF in the lower-left area of that page that you'll want to download -- which is the 47 page guide on the focus system.

Camera Raw 7 does not recognize Canon 5D Mark III RAW files

Hello,
I have Adobe Creative Cloud installed and I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 with Camera Raw 7. Photoshop nur Bridge CS6 do not recognize the RAW files from the Canon 5D Mark III, though it says on the Adobe support site that the camera is supported since Camera Raw 6.7
When I try to open the .cr2-File I get the message "Photoshop cannot open the file".
I use Win7 (64 Bit).
Any help?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hi Robert,
Its a known issue as the PS CS 6 was launched with ACR 7 however the support in Photoshop CS 6 would come with ACR 7.1 update which will be live soon.
You are completely right in saying that Canon 5D Mark III was supported in ACR 6.7 but it was only intended for >PS CS 5 & 5.1.
In the meanwhile if you want you can download the RC version of ACR 7.1 from labs.adobe.com.
Thanks

Not able to open raw files from my CAnon 5D mark III in PS CS6!

Thanks

What exactly happens when you try to open raw files from Canon 5D Mark III in PS CS6. Do you get any error message? An error screenshot would help.
Make sure your PS CS6 is up-to-date from Help > Updates.
Restart the machine and retry.

Having issues opening raw files from Canon 5D Mark iii in Photoshop CS5

I cannot open RAW files from a Canon 5D Mark III in Photoshop CS5. I get an error saying "
Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
Documentation seems to be no help.
Any ideas?

You can download the updates manually and try to install them Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh

Upgraded Adobe LR 4.1, CS6 Beta & got the Canon 5D Mark III, WHEN is next dot release Camera Raw?

I Purchased the Upgraded Adobe LR 4.1, CS6 Beta & got the Canon 5D Mark III, Mac Pro server update to Lion, WHEN is next dot release Camera Raw? My workflow has trippled in time because of this issue. I'm so frustrated with having to convert images in a slowed up piece of crap canon software package and then wait another decade for the newest LR to load the images I could crap fire! Come on Adobe, where's the release? After a few grand you'd think we'd get a better response time. As for Canon, they are not consistant with community software sharing and can kiss my *!! because to leave Adobe hanging sux!
There should be new laws that penalize jerks that screw with workflow!
Time is money, let's go Adobe!

"so there are no Adobe staff here to see your rant."
Oh, they're here and they see it...
BTW this might help?

Corrupted Images from Canon 5D Mark iii

Hey guys... I'm new to forum with this being my first post. I have been shooting for a few years now and have never encountered this issue. I'm not finding any help either on the web as hot to resolve this issue either.
When my Hoodman Steel 32GB CF card is in the card slot on the camera, the images look fine in preview mode. When I transfer them to my hard drive and look at the thumbnails on my Mac cpu the images look fine. It's when I try and open them with Camera Raw, Photoshop, Lightroom or any other photo editing software do they end up looking corrupted. Here are a couple of screenshots of how they are looking upon importing.
Any help to recover these images would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and I look forward to sharing photography stories and shots in the future.

Ryan,
I imagine those are lost. The CF card looks like it is corrupted. I never heard of or have used that brand of CF card so I have no idea of its quality.
I suggest you get Sandisk or Lexar. Also format it before each important shoot each time. I also prefer 16GB cards.
It is possibile your computer did the damage so you might try a different computer. Showing a photo on the camera's LCD monitor is no indicatition.
Thanks for the comments... I was actually able to retrieve them. I had recently updated to Yosemite and low and behold, that apparently was the culprit. I downloaded the new EOS 3 Utility that is reported to work with Yosemite and transfered the images straight out of my camera to my hard drive. Once I opened those images in Camera Raw everything checked out just fine. I'm guessing my card reader isn't compatible with Yosemite. Thanks again for responding.

Problem with ACR 7 support of Canon 5D Mark III

Just purchased LR4 with ACR7 (upgrade from LR3.6 - not happy about that either, but I am mostly over it) and tried to import photos from my Canon 5D Mark III. Import feature sees all the .CR2 files but when I try to import them it complains that it does not recognize that file format. Not happy.

Unfortunately two important cameras, the Canon 5D.3 and the Nikon D800, came out during the transition between LR3/4 and PS-CS5/6 so Adobe released beta versions of LR and ACR to help tide people over, but what gets released when is kindof messy during the transition.
A major version release requires debugging and testing so the functionality, including new camera support, must be frozen earlier as compared to mid-version camera-support releases that have minimal coding changes. ACR7-beta functionality was frozen back in February so has even less camera support than ACR6.7 beta, which confused PS-CS6-beta users as well.
Just so you’re aware, there is a bug when doing extreme adjustments in the new toning model and geometric lens-corrections have been applied, so be careful with that in the new LR4.1 RC2. Eric Chan has said the bug will be fixed in the release version of LR 4.1. The same bugs exist in the final ACR 6.7 that came out within the last week, so it is unclear what the status of a bugfix is for PS-CS5 users.
Here is a forum post with more information. Also check out the other threads people refer to with other examples of the bug:

Which operating system are you using?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get either camera raw 8.3 or 8.7.1, which should enable photoshop cs6 to open the canon 5D Mark III files.
(version of camera raw depends on your operating system)
If that doesn't work try one of the following camera raw plugin installers:
Camera raw 8.7.1 plugin
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x snow leopard (10.6.8), then you'll have to use the camera raw 8.3 plugin installer:

Which operating system are you using?
windows
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7 update for Elements 10
mac

Also, photoshop elements 13 will open those files as well.

Does camera raw 7.0 support Canon 5d mark iii? on the list it said 6.7 and 7.1 which makes confused because 7.0 is in between.

Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
If you have photoshop cs6 you should use Help>Updates to get the latest camera raw.
Camera raw 7.0 was just the shipping version of camera raw for photoshop cs6 and you should update it to a newer version.
The camera raw version on that list is just the oldest version of camera raw to support a particular camera and newer versions of camera raw carry on that support as well.
