How do I import directly from Canon XA10 with Final Cut X?

How do I import directly from Canon XA10 with Final Cut X?

I have an XA10, and importing is quite simple.  But you do have to make sure your camera is set to the proper settings to allow you to import the files into FCPX.
First, make sure the camera is powered on.  Connect it through the USB connection.  Then open the camera's viewfinder and press the button on the side of the camera that allows you to see the videos you've shot in the viewfinder.  (This toggle button toggles between seeing what the camera is pointed at live and seeing the thumbnails of the video you've already shot that are stored on the internal memory card.)  Now, the camera will present you with a menu asking which memory card you want to look at (there's an internal flash memory card, plus you can insert SD cards as well).  Choose the memory card on which your videos are stored within the camera, and then you'll be good to go.
Now you can go into your FCPX event and do the Import from Camera.  Now the Import from Camera interface will open up and you'll be able to select the XA10, where it will present you with all the videos that are on the camera's memory card that you selected.
From here,  you can select individual videos and import them, or you can set in and out points on videos and just import the parts you want.

  • How do I import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7. Thanks

    How do I import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7? Thanks.

    Locate the .caf file you want to use in FCP in the Finder.  Normally, iLife sound files will be in Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/(subfolder).
    Open the file on SoundTrack Pro, the go to File->Save a Copy As.  In the Save As window that will open, navigate to where you want to save the file, then near the bottom of that window, use the drop-down File Format menu to choose AIFF.  Set the bit depth to 16-Bit Integer and the Sampling Rate to 48000 hz.
    Import the resulting AIFF file into your FCP project.

  • Raw files missing in import direct from canon eos 350D

    Hi,
    I realise that files missing for import is fairly common, but I still haven't been able to find a reason. I can load jpg and cr2 from a folder no problem, but when I attach the camera, using the latest canon WIA driver on windows xp, the window that comes up shows only the jpgs on my camera. I realise that a workaround is to get the files on the pc and import from there, but I don't have my canon software anymore to do that, and besides, I'm using the trial version to decide whether or not to buy. Is this a LR problem? a canon one? and is there a fix in the pipeline?
    Apart from that, really like the product.
    Many thanks
    Dave

    There was a problem with version 1.0 about importing JPG's and RAW's because although they have a different suffix i.e. JPG or CR2 they have the same file name. LR, as primarily a RAW converter sees these as one and the same file and only imported the RAW file. The work round for this was to rename the JPG's slightly outside of LR using a name that you could yourself identify with the original RAW e.g. RAW 0000001.crs with the JPG being renamed to 0000001A.JPG followed by Importing. I had thought they had cured this with the update but as I don't shoot JPG + RAW haven't tried this for myself. What's strange about your post though, is that if memory serves me correctly the problem lay not in the Importing of the RAW file but in the JPG file as described above. Perhaps someone with more up to date knowledge of this will jump in here.
    The importing directly from the camera I referred to earlier was a known problem with Canon cameras - perhaps something to do with the folder structure although I couldn't swear to it. Hence the reference to using a Card Reader. In any event downloading from a Card Reader is faster as I'm sure you know.
    If you right click and explore the Card you'll find that not all of the files are empty. The top folder will be something like DCM and by double clicking on this top folder it will open up the others.

  • Sony NX30 or Canon XA10 for Final Cut Pro X?

    I produce for nonprofits and am about to purchase a new iMac with Final Cut Pro X, and need to also purchase a video camera. The Sony NX30 or Canon XA10 are in my budget, but my challenge is that I'm not a real technical person, and so need to be able to import the footage easily into FCP-X. ANY advice on which camera would be best? Any advice would be very much appreciated.

    This forum is not really suitable for comparing cameras as few (if any) people will have experience of both.
    As the cameras are both AVCHD there should be no difference regarding the "ease of import".
    The only thing that should concern you is whether one performs optically better than the other  .  .  .  .  if neither, then get the cheaper.
    Google for camera reviews, but treat with caution those written by customers.
    The best reviews are usually by professional testers who subject them to a standardised battery of tests.

  • How to replace audio on a music video with final cut pro x

    How do I replace low quality audio on a music video to a higher better quality audio with final cut pro x?
    I have the new audio on cd which I can rip and replace the original audio.
    Some audio and music videos are not of same length, In cases like this how do I sync video to the newly replaced audio?
    Is there any tutorial, link or where to look for this in the manual?
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Providing you don't need the video synced or cut to a beat, all you need to do is place your music in the primary storyline
    Connect your video above.
    While your video is connected, hit CMD+R on your keyboard and stretch the video to the length of the music
    If you were to cut the video to a beat, simply add markers on your music track, then connect and trim clips to your markers.

  • How to import video from canon xa10

    I can import video file from canon xa-10 camcorder to Final Cut Pro X. Please help.

    I have an XA10 and do this all the time.
    As Tom said, you just need to connect the camera using the USB cable and then do an "Import from Camera" from within FCPX.
    And yes, once you choose which clips (or which portions of clips) you want to import and then close the import window, FCPX has to transcode them.  However, you can begin editing while it is working on transcoding the files.
    However, if you disconnect the camera before FCPX has finished the transcode, the media won't be there the next time.  This stuff isn't magic.  It still has to transcode.  The only "magic" of FCPX is that you can start editing the footage before the transcode is complete...assuming, of course, you leave the media connected.
    Copying files over first and then trying to import does not work.  You have to do it from the camera.
    The difference would be if you were recording to an SD card (which the XA10 will do), instead of the camera's built-in flash memory.  You can disconnect the camera and just connect a card reader (and the card, of course).  But the same principle would apply.  You could start editing while FCPX is transcoding, but don't expect it to all be there if you disconnect the card reader or shut down FCPX before finishing the transcoding process.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can someone help with importing video from Canon XA10 (AVCHD) into PE 11?

    In PE 11 when I import video from my canon xa10 (avchd) the quality is terrible, I also have a canon xa20, 60D and gopro that I video with and they all turn out with great video quality.  Is there a reason why the xa10 video quality is bad? Setting I need to change?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    In Premiere Elements 11 and 12 takes over setting the project preset based on the properties of the first file drag to the Timeline. Sometimes it does it right; sometimes not. You can check what the project has set by using the readings from Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out. If the project preset is set for NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080p30, then the Edit Menu/Project Settings/General should be as represented in the following screenshot
    Please refer to setting the project preset yourself manually and then importing the source media into the project.

  • Lightroom 1.1 + Vista = No RAW import direct from canon 400D

    My laptop runs on XP and my desktop on Vista and I have a 400D, lightroom 1.1, PS CS2 and camera raw 4.1. I've just migrated my workflow into lightroom which i'm enjoying.
    Both computers read and edit RAW files fine and i've exported and imported catlogs between them.
    My laptop imports RAW files from my camera but my desktop (vista) says that there are no files to import. Either i've done something wrong in setting up lightroom or there appears to be some kind of driver problem.
    I can see them in windows, copy them off my camera in windows and then import them in lightroom from my computer, but not directly from my camera

  • How do I import songs from different computers with home sharing?

    I am trying to share music from my Macbook Pro to my father's Mac Desktop. I was able to get the 'home sharing' to work; I can see and play my father's music and he is able to play mine too. I was trying to import the songs but I am not able to copy & paste and I do not see an 'import' button at the bottom right of our windows when selecting songs. Am I missing a step or is there something else I do not know?

    After researching through the forums, I figured it out. You have to make sure you are logged in under the same account on both computers. At first I was logged under my account on my computer and logged in under my father's account on my father's computer. You have to choose one account to log in under on both computers and then you will be abler to import songs from both computers. If you do not log in under the same account, you will be able to listen to both computers' music, but not import.

  • Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi,
    I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
    But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
    Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

    Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.
