How do I download avchd files from canon HF R10 to IMovie

Imovie does not seem to recognize camera. The files show up on my desktop, but the import camera button in IMovie does not show camera. Files seems to be .cpi, unless I can't tell where the files actually are.
I also have Wondershare video converter that doesn't seem to recognize the .cpi files either. Are there other video converters that I need to get?

I'm pretty sure the files are not .cpi but .mts and they're under another folder. I'm sorry but that's all I know and I have trouble importing too

How do I download documents/files from a memory stick onto my MacBook Pro into organised folders

How do I download documents/files from a memory stick on to my MacBook Pro and organise in to Folders?

Hi RockingRon,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The Finder application on your Mac is what you need to organize and manage files. The link below will explain how to use it. See item #8 - your memory stick will appear in the Devices section of the Sidebar on the left.

Organizing files and folders
If you want to add more folders to set up an organizational scheme, here's how to create a new folder:
Make the Finder active (click the desktop, click inside any Finder window, or click the Finder icon in the Dock).
From the File menu, choose New Folder; a new "untitled folder" icon appears in the active Finder window.
Name your folder by simply typing a name in the highlighted text box next to the folder icon.
Or, you can simply press the Shift-Command-N key combination.
To organize your files and folders, drag any file, folder, or application that you want into your new folder, or drag the folder into any other folder to establish an organized hierarchy.
Cheers,
- Judy

Cannot import video file from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11.

Hi this is my first post on this site.
I am having trouble trying to import video files from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11. The computer does not even recognize this camcorder. When I do a PC connection, iphoto comes up, but all it tells me to import are the pictures that I have taken.
No matter what I do, I cannot find the folder for my camcorder in the device section in the finder.
When I try to import it on imovie, I only get an option for facetime camera and not my vixia.
Please help!

How can i download many file from server one times.

Hi,
I want to create the service to download multi-files from web server one time
from browser. It seems no way to do it. My soulition is compressing the files
to zip before download it. The problem is that when the user uncompresses the
files,full path of downloaded files are setted. Look like this:
/usr/tmp/test/file1
/usr/tmp/test/file2
/usr/tmp/test/file3
My question is :
1. Is there any way not to specify the full path of a file when
add the file to zip.
Here is the source
BufferedInputStream bis
= new BufferedInputStream(
new FileInputStream( file ) );
//if not full path . can is works?????
ZipEntry target = new ZipEntry( file.getPath() );
// zos is ZipOutputStream
zos.putNextEntry( target );
int c;
while( ( c = bis.read() ) != EOF ) {
zos.write( (byte)c );
2. Is there any way to get and change the current work directory of my server ?
Please help!!

If i use file.getName(). I will lost the struct of path.
I means that,if i compress the list of files:
/usr/tmp/test1/file1
/usr/tmp/test1/file2
/usr/tmp/test2/file3
can i keep the part of path's strcut. (usr/tmp/../.. etc.)
I tried to do as this:
target = new ZipEntry( file.getPath.substring(1));
an error be reported when uncompressed the zip file.
error message:
warning [zt000002.zip]: extra 28 bytes at beginning or within Zip file (attempting to process anyway)
Error in file #1: bad Zip file offset (Error local header signature not found): 0
(attempting to re-compensate)

Why? can i set "any" entry name??

How to get lightroom3 to download raw files from Canon 70D even though I have downloaded DNG 8.5

I have a Canon 70D and my old lightroom3 will not download raw files even though I have downloaded DNG 8.5 on my iMac. how can I overcome this problem?

I was being lazy and hoping that Adobe might have created some sort of patch which would allow me to import directly from my camera to lightroom
Neither Adobe, nor any other company that produces a Raw converter, ever retrospectively adds new camera support to old (obsolete) versions of their software.

Downloading avchd video from Canon XA10 to iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011)

I have a mid 2011 iMac running Mountain Lion. I typically download HD AVCHD video from my Canon XA10 camcorder by inserting an SD card from the camera into the side of the computer. When I click on the SD card, thumbnails of the video footage appear on the iMac and when I click on a thumbnail, the clip opens in Quicktime. Now I can view the clip. This is all fine.
Here's my question: when I look at the Quicktime movie inspector, the following appears:
The original footage is 1920 x 1080 since I shoot at the highest setting on the camera (MXP).
But the "Current Size:" above in the inspector is 1736 x 977.
Does Quicktime degrade the footage? Is there a way to preserve the full 1920 x 1080?
When I import the footage into iMovie (which I do directly from the chip into iMovie) is the quality degraded as well, even though the transfer into iMovie doesn't involve Quicktime (at least I don't think it does).
If, after sharing a clip from iMovie via Quicktime to create a file to upload to Vimeo, I can view it in Quicktime and the same thing happens:
The inspector says "Current Size: 1736x 977."
Any advice? Am I doing something wrong and as a result losing resolution?
Thank you,
David

Importing AVCHD files from Canon HFs10 cam into Premier 4.2.1 on Mac

I have a consumer camera Canon HFs10 that records AVCHD files, however I cant import them into my Mac version of premier 4.2.1. When I attempt it says it does not recognize the file. Where do I find the codec for this type of file? I have run Adobe update but the same problem still exitst.

Copy whole card to your hdd, then import via Media Browser.
See how that will work.

AVCHD files from Canon HF M50

I know the topic of AVCHD has been discussed in a number of posts, but I have a more specific question concerning the AVCHD files coming from my camera. The camera has three "frame rate" settings - 60i, PF30, PF24. The PF30 and PF24 settings are contained in a 60i stream and FCPX identifies these as interlaced material. I realize that the PF30 setting is technically interlaced since the progressive frames are actually simultaneous interlaced fields, but since most of my material is for web distribution I'd prefer working with progressive material rather than deinterlacing somewhere in my workflow. I know about the fix of changing the field dominance of the clips in the inspector, but when I transcode/optimize the media via FCPX the ProRes files created are interlaced.
I also have Compressor and went through the "trouble" of creating some presets for the different frame rates, but doing so left me with a question. In the encoder specifications, ProRes has a checkbox if the files are interlaced indicating a difference in how interlaced and progressive are encoded (naturally). My original idea was to change the field dominance of the PF30 files to progressive in the clip inspector of Compressor so they are treated as and output as progressive. But the interlaced checkbox and the actions of FCPX has left me wondering what the ideal workflow would be when creating ProRes files for material shot in the PF30 setting. Would it be better to create interlaced ProRes files and then use the field dominance override in FCPX or encode progressive via compressor (seeing as the progressive material is in an interlaced stream)?
The worst part about all this is that when I was testing different workflows, Aperture recognized the different frame rates correctly. I considered the roundabout method of importing with Aperture and using these files in FCPX, but I lose some of the metadata of the files which is a pain.
I apologize for the length and the fact that I'm not so much asking for help as I am asking for a recommendation. Any feedback is appreciated.

I suppose I could use proxy since native editing keeps crashing the program when adjusting effects.

PSE 8.0 WILL NOT DOWNLOAD CR FILES FROM CANON 1DMKIV

I have intslled and reinstalled PSE8.0 and the software STILL will not download the RAW files from the Canon 1DMKIV.
Downloads all other CR files from all my other Canon bodies fine.
I keep getting "Corruption or File already exists" errors yet if you check Adobe CS4 RAW files are downloaded fine.
Any hints?
This is 2nd copy of PSE installation cds. Tech Support cannot find trouble.

Thank You "99jon".
That did it ...FINALLY. ATTENTION TO USERS: DO NOT "DOWNLOAD PSE8 FROM ADOBE STORE"!!!! THIS FILE IS MISSING AND PLACED IN WRONG DUAL PSE FOLDER> FOLLOW WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS FOR PSE8. TIER 3 ADOBE SW ENGIN COULD NOT FIX!
After checking the PSE8 Program Files I discovered that the zip file was indeed previously downloaded but for some screwed up reason Adobe has place 2 files for PSE8.
After reading the "download text file" I found that the "exe" file was placed in the wrong file according to Adobe Download instructions.
After placing it in the file it should be AOK!!!! TESTED OK!! Plug-IN version still shows version 5.51 but it does dwnld 1DMKIV CR2 files now.
Submit your Pay Voucher to Adobe because they could not figure it out up to Tier 3 Software Support Engineering!!
Many Thanks!
Dan

How can I move AVCHD files from my MacBook Air to my Mac Pro?

While on the road, I will be putting my AVCHD video on my MacBook Air. This will free up space on the SD card and enable me to export clips to iWeb, etc. But when I get back to my desk, I'll want to put all of that AVCHD content onto my Mac Pro for more thorough editing and long term storage. What is the best way to move the unedited AVCHD files (events) from one computer to the other?

Jim,
There's a few ways you can do this but here's a method thats simple which also provides you with a backup of the movies contained on your SD card.
Try creating a disk image from your SDHC card from your Cam. You'll need an SD card reader and when you connect to your MBA you can create a .dmg file from disk utility.
Once you've done that you can launch imovie and then double click on your .dmg and imovie will prompt you if you want to add the movies to your library.
When you get back home you can follow the same procedure by copying over your .dmg. No need to export from imovie on your MBA to your MP. The added benefit is that you have a complete backup of your SDHC card in the .dmg which you can backup to DVD.
Hope this helps.

How can I import AVCHD files from my hard drive?

- How can I work with .mts files from my Sony camera that I dragged from the camera to a folder on my computer. If I understand it well, if I import the files with a Log and Transfer, they will be converted to another format.
- do they lose quality with the Log and Transfer conversion?
I want to erase my sony camera hard disk but do not want to lose the original files, that is why I ask.

Hi -
In order to use the files from your camera easily (without 3rd party software) you need to not only drag the mts files, but the ENTIRE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE of the camera storage to your hard disk drive. Many people find it most convenient to use Disk Utility to make a disk image of the camera storage media, and keep the disk image on their hard disk, available for re-use at any time.
The additional folders that are present on the camera storage give necessary and valuable information to Final Cut as to how to "unpack" the extremely compressed video files. Without these files as guides and instructions, it becomes a much more difficult process.

How do i download my files from creative cloud now I've swapped memberships?

I used to have an individual Cloud membership, during which I uploaded 9.6GB of my files. I then swapped my membership to a team membership which I am primary Admin for, now when I go to files I cant see any of them but on the drop down menu on the top right it says 9.6GB/100GB. Any ideas how I can see my files again? Thanks

Hi David
No, I don't still have the files in the local folder as they where uploaded from a computer in a different office that I no longer have access to.
Yes, I used the same email address for both memberships.
Thanks
