How do I capture video from canon d5 mark II to fcp using usb connection

I have always imported video to fcp via firewire using my tape cameras but soon I will have to make the jump to non linear cameras eventually as tape becomes obsolete. I haven't got a non linear camera but would like to know if there's a simple way to upload video footage with a camera like the 5d or similar non linear video cameras. Also, I'd like to know if it is possible to select the in and out points before importing like you do with tape devices so that you don't have to download all the footage shot. Thanks for any advice.

Attach camera via USB or put card in card reader.
Go to FCP, and go to the Log and TRANSFER window.
If FCP recognizes the card, you will see your clips listed on the left.
You can view them, set Ins and Outs, and import just what you want.
Once you choose a section of video and import it, FCP converts (transcodes) from its original camera format to Apple ProRes422 - a more edit friendly video file.

  • What are the settings for capturing video from Canon HV20

    Hi All,
    I want to capture video from Canon HV20 with Premiere Elements 11. What kind of settings should I use to capture the video with full information?
    Here is what I did:
    1) According the manual, I went to Capture settings panel (Edit > Project Settings > Capture) and selected HDV as capture format, because my video is at high definition.
    2) In addition, I checked "Capture to Timeline" and "Split Scenes by cotent".
    Are these settings enough?
    Thanks.

    Sounds reasonable, using Add Media/HDV Camcorder, but....
    Have you reviewed the Adobe write up on Premiere Elements 11 DV and HDV capture firewire into it.
    http://help.adobe.com/fr_FR/premiereelements/using/WS5CDA0F91-60F1-4b79-ABF6-E9E75F498DB2. html#WS2AF26FB5-4C63-4c46-9DB3-7249558F6528
    The mention of Get Media instead of Add Media makes me wonder if the video's instructor was demo'ing from Premiere Elements 10, but...
    Major factors have always included having Premiere Elements project preset set correctly to correspond to your camera settings...For HDV data capture firewire...
    NTSC HDV HDV 1080p30 or PAL HDV HDV 1080p25 depending on if you are targeting a NTSC or PAL area where frame rates are typically a consideration.
    I had not done any DV or HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements. But, Premiere Elements 11's take over of the project preset setting would encourage me to encourage you to verify your project settings before the capture.
    There are probably many more, but the following is online discussion of one Canon HV20 issue
    http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/316970-video-capture-problems-HV20-camcorder-is-control led-but-no-video-capture
    If you experience difficulty with the HDV capture fireware into Premiere Elements 11, you might consider what some others have done in this regard, that is, use HDVSplit for the capture firewire and then import the split (.m2t) clips "Add Media" into Premiere Elements 11 with the appropriate HDV HDV 1080p (1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9) project preset.
    Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
    Thanks.

  • How do I import video from canon zr 500 to iMovie 2011?

    Hello,
    Thank you in advance for your help. I am trying to import a video from a a Canon zr500 to iMovie 2011 for a college course assignment and the camcorder is not being recognized when plugged in via firewire. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions as to how I could accomplish this as cheaply as possible? I am new to using a Mac so please don't be too technical in explanations.
    Thank you,
    Ben

    Freezeframe-
    Either a Thumb Drive or an SD card in the Camera Connection Kit adapter should work.  However SFX is not a file type I'm familiar with.
    How about [Volume name]\DCIS\[filename].[mp4]?  The file name must be 8 characters plus suffix.  It needs to look like it would if it had been recorded in the camera.
    If that doesn't work, perhaps adding another folder will help.  A card from a Canon camera has another folder named "102___12".  That would make the path [Volume name]\DCIS\102___12\[filename].[mp4].
    The more common way to transfer videos to the iPad is using iTunes that had previously synced with it.  Select Movies under LIBRARY on the left side of the iTunes window.  Then you should be able to drag the video file into that window.  The video will be transfered the next time you sync.  This way, the file name is not critical, as long as it has the correct suffix.

  • How can I download video from Canon HF20?

    Please help me. I just need to download video from my new Canon HF20 to my computer. I hear you can use imovie 08 but how?

    I have a Canon HF11, but I imagine the problem is similar. I'm working with iMovie '08 on a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 3 GB of RAM. I normally import from an old Sony TVR530 (flawlessly).
    This is apparently the deal with iMovie '08 and Mpeg-2 Camcorders... Apple stinks at working with them (at least for my setup).
    The files are .MOD, which is just Mpeg-2; no problem. You connect the camera and it auto-recognizes the FS11 (in my case), but doesn't begin import. You select a manual "movie import" and it says there are no files to import (there were 187 files in the folder). Very frustrating.
    BUT! It will recognize the movies EVENTUALLY. Yes, it's true. Just connect the camera and wait a good 10 - 15 minutes and it will finally come up with the import clip window. Not that you're in a hurry or anything. THEN, to rub salt in that wound, it takes minutes to import seconds of video. I have a 14 second clip that took 3 minutes to import. FOURTEEN SECONDS! All these little basketball game clips are going to take an HOUR to import (according to the application).
    My first pass resulted in an import of about 21 clips before iMovie crashed. I'm trying again now and HOPING the imported video will not show degradation when it's all done. I'll let you know.
    (I'm still mad that my wife's PowerBook 1.5 GHz cannot play a simple YouTube video without looking like a 10 fps flipbook animation. GET IT TOGETHER APPLE! You're supposed to be the multimedia guys!)

    Issue: What folder are the videos stored in on the camcorder?
    Solution: List of the directory and file structure of AVCHD camcorders
    For users who wish to "drag and drop" the video files created by the camcorder the videos can be located by drilling down thru the following folders.
    Double click on the removeable disc drive icon to display the root folder of the drive.
    Double click on the [AVCHD] folder
    Double click on the [BDMV] folder.
    Double click on the [STREAM] folder. The video files are located in this folder with a .mts file extension.
    - Depending on the software you are using the file extension may need to be renamed to .m2ts to be useable in your playback or editing software.

  • How do I put video ( from Canon PowerShot ) to ( HP ) computer. The solution disc doesn't help.

    I am unable to load video from my camera to my computer. I don't know your letters and symbols language. Screen does not say 'Easy installation', 'User Account Control','Restart',or 'Finish'.

    One person ? That's me. I guess because I don't own stock in the company, I say what is on my mind. If I don't say then they will take over completely.

  • Premiere Elements 10 - can't play back imported HD video (from Canon HV30) in Quicktime or FCP

    After playing around with the trial version, I eagerly purchased Photoshop Elements 10 Premiere for its ability to edit video from my Sony Cybershot camera (Final Cut Pro would not do this) and for its ability to import video from my Canon HV30 HD camcorder (Final Cut Pro is really fussy on this).
    Also liked the option of importing without breaking in to individual scenes.  FCP and iMovie won't do this.
    So, after the first import of a tape, I discover that the imported file will NOT play via Quicktime, and when I imported that file into Final Cut Pro, I got the eternal circle icon which lead to a crash.  
    What's going on here?

  • Videos from Canon 5D Mark II Choppy

    Yes, I see that another user asked a similar question today--but my circumstances are different.
    The HD videos from my Canon 5D M2 come out choppy on my Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5 Tower, 6 gigs of RAM, using system 10.5.8 and Quicktime 7.6.6 (1632). Video Card is ATI Radeon 9650, running a LaCie 324 at 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz, 32 Bit color.
    They look fine on my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Laptop, same system and Quicktime, 3 gigs of RAM, 17-inch at 1920 x 1200, GeForce 8600 GT.
    In information panel, both show the same Codec: H.264 Integer (Little Endian), Dimensions: 1920 x 1080, total bit rate: 45,096.
    Can anyone please say if I can do anything to improve the performance of my PowerPC tower with these videos? Thank you for your consideration and expertise!
    Ancillary question: would my laptop with my LaCie 324 monitor give me enough power to edit a documentary made with same Canon 5D M2?
    (The other guy who posted earlier with a similar issue said he's thinking of buying the same card as I have--once I hear some replies re: my same issue I'll contact him, to be sure).

    Hi Francis, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I can't answer your question directly, but I'd try Big Endian for best PPC performance...
    Intel x86 processors store a two-byte integer with the least significant byte first, followed by the most significant byte. This is called little-endian byte ordering. Other CPUs, such as the PowerPC CPU, store a two-byte integer with its most significant byte first, followed by its least significant byte. This is called big-endian byte ordering. Most of the time the endian format of your computer can be safely ignored, but in certain circumstances it becomes critically important.

  • Import from Canon 5D Mark 111 to FCP 7

    I have footage from Canon 5D that I compressed and have in a Pro Res sequence. FCP 7  When I export, do I uncompress the footage.  Any tutorials on this workflow?

    Shot this footage a year ago on rented Canon.  I used compressor and chose apple pro res 422 for progressive  material.
    It will output to BluRay so Self contained Qt is the way to go.
    Although...how did you compress the footage, and what did you compress it to? Did I do the right thing, Canon is progressive footage yes.
    Thanks Shane.

  • How do I import video from Canon Legria HF20 to iPad 2?

    I have the camera connection kit, and iMovie App. The kit will import photos, but the iPad does not react at all when trying to send video files to iPad 2.
    Is there a utility App for iPad that will make the file format recognisable? Or is it possible to save the camera files in a format recognised by the iPad.

  • How do I transfer video from Canon FS300 to iMovie 09?

    I transferred video once before from this new Canon FS300 video camera, about 2 months ago,and thought that when I plugged it in today that the computer would automatically recognize it, but so far, I'm not seeing anything. Is there some kind of setting on the camera itself that I need to set? I've plugged it into the computer and into the camera, using the USB cable.
    Thanks so much!

    You should ask your question in the iMovie '09 forum. This is the iDVD forum.
