How to download video from Canon Legria HFR18?

I can't download videos from Canon Legria HFR18 to my Mac OS X 10.4.11. Can anyone help me?

Hi, how does it hook to the Mac?
Did you download the Software for it? ImageBrowser Updater (6.5.3)

  • Help needed: How to import video from Canon Legria Camcorder FS306?

    Dear all,
    After happily purchasing Canon Legria Camcorder FS306, I realise that my IMOVIE HD could not detect the camcorder when connected to my Macbook pro.
    Have 2 questions here:
    1. Is it impossible for IMovie HD to detect newer camcorders? Should I then upgrade to IMOVIE09?
    2. Currently, Canon Legria Camcorder FS306 is not listed as 1 of the supported camcorders for IMOVIE09. It is one of the newer models. Is IMOVIE09 able to import video from this camcorder now? Or in the near future? Or it may never be supported?
    Tks!
    Gam

    You would need imovie 09 to use this camcorder.
    This camcorder is not on the iMovie 09 supported list. However, every Canon camcorder since 2008 has supported iMovie 08 and 09, so odds are good that this one will, too. Odds are good that it works right now. IF you want to know for sure, call Canon. ....or take your camera to an Apple Store and hook it up.
    It might be possible to do some manual conversions and continue to use iMovie 6. For example, you could try converting the MPEG2 files to DV using a tool like MPEG Streamclip. You would also need the $20 Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. I find iMovie 09 to be a much better editor, but if you are comfortable with iMovie 06, this might be worth a try for you.

  • 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!)

  • Downloading video from Canon Vixia HV 30 via HDMI to Mini DisplayPort

    Laptop Specs: White MacBook 10.6.6, 2 x USB, Mini DisplayPort, Audio In/Out
    Camera: Canon Vixia HV30
    I recently upgraded my MacBook and my new MacBook doesn't have a firewire input. I had downloaded video from my Canon Vixia HV30 to iMovie using an HDV/DV to Firewire chord.
    Since the new MacBook doesn't have a firewire input, I tried an HDMI to Mini DisplayPort chord. The MacBook (via Finder, iMovie, and Final Cut Express) doesn't recognize that there is a camera connected.
    Any ideas?

    That's a miniDV camera. MiniDV ALWAYS needs Firewire - there's no way around it. There are no USB to Firewire converters. If you very recently (last 14 days) bought the Macbook, and you absolutely want to continue using the camera, you could perhaps return the MB and see if the 13" Macbook Pro is within your budget.
    Modern consumer HD cameras tend to use USB connections.

  • Anyone know how to download video from a JVC HD Hard Disk Camcorder to iMovie?

    Just got my first iMac computer and cannot figure how to download movies from my JVC camcorder, it only wants to back up to PC or use Everio program for PC.  Would appreciate any feedback on how to overcome this issue.

  • How to download videos from You Tube?

    Does anyone know of a tool to download videos from You Tube, to import into iMovie, that actually works? I installed Get Tube, which could not even be activated. vixy.net (an online FLV converter) worked for two video clips but 80% of the time it gets hung up in an infinite loop and does not work. Tube Sock (perhaps better for iPod?) generates a file that iMovie does not recognize—message is "Unknown error" when trying to import it into iMovie. I installed Perian software successfully; it is supposed to make .FLV files from You Tube playable with Quicktime but when I tried to actually play the converted file it was rejected with the message, "This is not a movie." Is there anything out there, freeware or not, that actually works consistently?

    Hi ceeg - remember that you do have to add the .flv extension to the file, and then after it plays in QT, in order to use it in iMovie you must export it from QT as a DV Stream file.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problems downloading video from Canon Vixa HV30

    I have a Canon Vixa HV30. When I try to download video filmed on this camcorder in LP to Final Cut Express it will not allow me to capture it (I can play but cannot capture). Is it because the format is LP instead of SP? Any suggestions on what I need to do?

    Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate you giving me more information than I got from the Final Cut Product Specialist on the Apple Care phone line. It's too bad that Apple in its promotion of the Canon HV30 (it's even shown in the tutorial on how to connect using a tape device), as well as MacWorld could not have provided the information you gave, and that neither site mentions a basic fact that you need to buy FW cable as well.
    Regarding Final Cut Express 4. It seems to me that the information about connecting to an external drive and 32K preset should have been included in the Apple Certified Final Cut Express 4 book by Diana Weynand.
    Thanks again.

  • How to upload video from Canon Vixia HF R52 to DropBox

    Just purchased a new Vixia HF R52 aand want a fast way to upload videos to send to friends.
    My choice is Dropbox. How to get vidios from camera to Dropbox?

    Hello mikeoncamano,
    The process for uploading the video to your computer is the extent of Canon technical support for the camcorder.  It may be as simple as copying and pasting the video clips over to Dropbox.  However, when it comes to uploading video to a web site, server or other third party method like this we cannot provide the proper steps.  We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you.

  • Import video from CANON LEGRIA HF R18 into adobe premiere elements

    Hallo,
    I have a MAC and I don't know how I have to set the project to import videos from my camera.
    Thanks

    jazzandogospelsinger64
    As a first pass at this I would transfer the video from the camera to the computer hard drive and from there import that into Premiere Elements 10 Mac with Premiere Elements 10 Mac Get Media/Files and Folder. Under the circumstances your Premiere Elements 10 will perform as a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the Mac 64 bit with the limitations of 32 bit. I am an Elements Windows user, but the principles and suggestions that I am about to make should be applicable to your situation. I have gone off track with any Mac specific details be sure to say so. The 32 bit business means that Premiere Elements 10 Mac will not be able to take advantage of all the 64 bit resources as would be the case if you had Premiere Elements 11 Mac running in a Mac 64 bit operating system.
    Your Canon HF-R18 FXP would be highest quality 1920 x 1080 with a bitrate of 17 Mbps (megabits per second). I need to confirm if you are recording interlaced video 1920 x 1080 (50i) or 1920 x 1080 p25 (in the progressive mode). From what I have read your audio is Dolby Digital Stereo.
    If 1920 x 1080 (50i, aka 25 interlaced frames per second), then use the Premiere Elements 10 project preset = PAL/AVCHD/Full HD1080i25.
    If 1920 x 1080 (25p, 25 progressive frames per second), then use the Premiere Elements 10 project preset = PAL/DSLR/1080p/DSLR 1080p25.
    In either circumstance, when you drag the file from the Media area to the Timeline, do you see a colored line over that content on the Timeline? You should not be seeing a colored line over this content if we have the correct project preset selected. But remember that, each time after you edit that video, it is normal for a red line to appear over it. That is the program telling you that you need to render the Timeline content, one way by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard to get the best possible preview. When the rendering is complete, the red line will turn green. Thereafter, only a red/green indicator system (with all its implications) will exist for letting you know if the program thinks that you are seeing the best possible preview. No more non colored line choice, just red (need) and green (not needed). When you are in the no colored line or green situation, pressing the Enter key will just get you playback of the file in the monitor - no rendering available.
    See what that looks like on the Timeline at playback there.
    Let us start there and be ready for the next phase "How do I want to export that Timeline?" with all the details associated with that phase to get the best results.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Resend --how do download video from a Panasonic GS500 camcorder?

    This is a resend, I put in the wrong model camcorder the first time. I have a Panasonic GS500 miniDVcamcorder and haven't been able to figure out how to download to imovie. I'm using a firewire. Any suggestions? I'm new at this and very confused at the moment, even after reading the support topics.

    Forest, I tried your suggestions, but still no luck downloading. iMovie searches for the camera, but can't find it. I'm getting concerned that the GS500 is not compatible with Macs. Any other ideas?
    Hi Jek
    1. Camera turned off - connect firewire to Mac and
    camera.
    2. Open iMovie and create a name for your clips.
    3. Be sure cam is set on playback -NOT PC mode
    4. Turn on cam. At this point your Mac should
    recognize your cam and will
    show in the iMovie screen as "ready to capture",
    or words to that effect.
    . Use the on screen controls to start the capture
    process. The computer will
    control the camera.
    ur Mac captures the video in real time, meaning that
    if your total clips are 45 minutes of tape, it will
    take 45 minutes to capture to your Mac. Hope that
    helps you. Nice cam, by the way. Lucky are those of
    us that got one before Panasonic discontinued it and
    dummied down their consumer line of miniDV cams.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Can't download video from Canon camera

    I have a video in my Canon PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH camera that does not download into iPhoto. I can watch the video (292mb) in my camera, and iPhoto recognizes that it is there, but does not download it. When I click to download the video, the computer behaves as if it is downloading, but the video does not appear in the library when it is done. I've tried looking for it elsewhere on my computer, but can't find it. I've thought about trying to pull it directly off the camera using the desktop, but the camera doesn't show up in the finder, only within iPhoto. How can I get this video!?

    I have seen this exact behavior with large video files. You have 2 basic choices:
    1) Use Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to download the video. In IC you can select "Download Some", see the files on the camera, and select just the ones you want to download. With a file this big I recommend doing one at a time. Set it to Download to your Desktop, and be patient. Ignore the blue Progress bar, as it seems to go from 0 to 100 very quickly, when in fact the process has just begun. It may seem like nothing is happening, but wait long enough and it should complete.
    2) Canons do not appear in the Finder, as you have observed. Instead of uploading via the camera, use a USB card reader to mount the card. Then you can simply drag the video files to your Desktop. The Finder seems to copy much more quickly than Image Capture, and its blue Progress bar is much more accurate. Another advantage is that you don't have to worry about the camera's batteries dying during the download.
    Either way, once the videos are on your desktop you can import them into iPhoto, then trash the desktop copy.
    Regards.
