I have a canon Vixia HFR 21 and can't import into iMovie.

Trying to import a video into iMovie 11 using a Canon Vixia HFR21 camcorder. Not able to do the import. Is there some funky setting i'm missing? thx

Does your Mac have a FW 800 port? If it does, use a 4 pin to 9 pin connection. If you have only Thunderbolt, use a FW>Tb adaptor. Either way, your Mac should see the camera. If it does, so will FCP.

Have you tried iMovie or using the software that came with the camera?

Canon Vixia hfm31 videos (MTS) won't import into Premiere Pro CS5

I have a lot of footage on a Canon Vixia HFM31 HD Camcorder. Yesterday I tried to import into Premiere and got an error message saying the MTS format was not supported.
The clips DID import with iMovie.
Do I need to purchase a converter from a 3rd party vendor to be able to get MTS footage from the Vixia into Premiere. Seems strange that it worked so seamlessly with iMovie.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you open the New Sequence dialog, does it look like this:
...or do you have significantly fewer presets available? If you have less, your installation has been reverted to trial mode--this is a problem that occurs after updating Premiere. If so, the only way to get back to full operating status is to reinstall the software.
Specifically, what you need to do is:
Deactivate your installation (Help > Deactivate)
Uninstall Premiere/Production Premium/Master Collection. Reboot.
Download and run the Adobe CS5 Clean Tool. Reboot.
Repeat step 3 at least once more, preferably two or three more times
Reinstall and reactivate Premiere, and then update
It's a pain, indeed, but it's the only way to get back up and running.
If, however, you do have all the presets, give us some more detail on the files and how you're trying to import them.

IPad 7.0.4 update. Won't let me back into iPad unless I sync. I don't have a computer to sync to and can't get into my iPad unless I do sync. How do I proceed and get back into my iPad?

Software update has prevented me getting back into my iPad unless I sync it. It has never ever been synced and I don't own a computer to sync it to. How do I proceed?

If you see this picture, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to recover your iPad.

Canon Vixia HF S10 and FCE4 - Log & Transfer

Please help. Have been trying for hours and can not find the answer on line, at least one that works. I have a Canon Vixia HF S10 and every time I attempt to "add clip to queue" I receive a red octagon that states "Error: No Data". I am using FCE4, or trying to at least. Does anyone out there know how to resolve this issue?

Hi -
Verify that you are using FCE 4.0.1.
Open the Log and Transfer window.
Click on the little gear shaped icon towards the upper middle of the L&T window
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/L%26TPrefs.jpg!
Select Preferences from the drop down menu.
When the preference window opens, set the AVCHD Plug-In audio format to Plain Stereo.
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/L%26TPrefsToPlainStereo.jpg!
Now try connecting the camera and see if you can import your files via Log and Transfer.
If there are clips on the camera memory that are recorded with different settings, this can cause problems. The clips need to be all HD clips.
Hope this helps.

Easiest and cost effective way to bringing VHS and Hi-8 video into iMovie?

I have family videos on VHS and Hi-8 camera that I'd like to archive for iMovie making in the future. Can someone please suggest some hardware and/or software that I'd need to buy/use to achieve this? Thanks in advance!!!
James

I am converting 20 year old family VHS tapes to work on iMovie 08.
I am using a plain old VCR with RCA jack output. (but it would also work with a coax connection).
It connects to a device called the EyeTV Hybrid. The EyeTV Hybrid is marketed as a way to watch and record over-the-air HD TV through your Mac, but it also does a great job on importing VHS. I would only recommend EyeTV hybrid on Intel Macs or higher. For a G5, you may need the more expensive EyeTV product that offloads some of the processing from the computer. I got the EyeTV Hybrid from Amazon, after reading many reviews there, and learning about its existence from an Apple store employee who had one for her own use.
From the EyeTV Hybrid software, which imports the VHS to my firewire drive as an MPEG-2 file, I can export to a DV file. This file can be imported into iMovie 08. I recommend splitting your clips into events using the EyeTV software before importing, because it is difficult to split clips that came from analog once they are in iMovie 08.
It does a great job, and with a $30 antenna, I can also watch TV on my Mac.
Also, I plan to archive my unedited VHS tapes onto DVD using Toast 8 Titanium. The EyeTV software will export the MPEG 2 files to Toast directly.

I have a Canon Vixia HV30 and would like to know if I can transfer video from it to a new MacBook Pro? The camcorder has a HDV/DV output. Is that compatible with firewire?

Canon VIXIA HF S20 and FCP interaction

Middle school, 13 year olds create a 2 hour video yearbook every year. We have won the California Student Media Festival 5 of the last 6 years in the yearbook category. We are not experts but do shoot with 4 cameras and use multiclip. It is amazing to see what 13 year olds can do when you raise the bar with FCP. My question is related directly to FCP and its interaction with cameras. We are looking at purchasing 4 new Canon VIXIA HF S20 cameras, using flash memory (we have the Canon Vixia 30 that use tapes now). I have read some on the Vixia HF S20, some on this list, some on the internet in general. We have used canons, have hundreds invested in batteries and are familiar with Canon. We are limited to about 1200 per camera. So, any terrible issues I should be aware of with the Canon Vixia HF S20?

Hi-
Yes, you are correct. File transfer (and the required conversion from AVCHD to an editable format) can be faster than real time, in fact much faster with a fast computer and raid storage.
When dealing with event/news acquisition and delivery, and every second counts, then file based is the clear winner.
The down side is the reliance and drive space and stability, and lots of both. And the discipline/organization required to run a backup program that is both effective, searchable and ready to be pulled into service at a moments notice,
When a student comes to you and says: "Mr. Peach, the disc drive that holds all our class projects isn't mounting and is making a funny clicking noise!" are you going to be able to swap in a backup drive with the required media on it?
That"s my point about switching to file based acquisition. There's no tape to fall back on. Because we have switched to XDCamEx and Red production, we had to add another crew member we call the "Data Wrangler" whose job it is to make sure all files or organized, accessible and backed up (in our case to several backup locations).
You demonstrate that you are both technologically knowledgeable, and creatively knowledgeable (with your string of awards) and I just wanted to highlight side of the tape to file based transition that is often overlooked.
One more comment - I wouldn't worry about using the technology of the "future". If that were the case, I would recommend you buy a bunch of Kodak Zi8 cameras, edit with iMovie '09 and deliver via You Tube.
Hope this helps and I'm sure you'll make the right decision.

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

hi ehnco,
It sounds like the Read/Write attribute on the printer needs to be changed. Use the following steps to change the read/write attribute:
Make sure that the machine is turned on
Press the <Setup> button.
Use the   button to select  [ Device settings], then press the <OK> button.
The Device settings screen is displayed.
Use the  button to select [Device user settings], then press the <OK> button.
Use the  button to select [Read / write attribute], then press the <OK> button.
Use the  button to select [Writable from LAN PC], then press the <OK> button.

Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.

What am I doing wrong?

I can't give you detailed instructions, but there should be a way to print a built-in test page. If the color is off on that, the printer has an internal problem such as a clogged head.

I have two Canon Printers, an MP970 and a MX710, I want to use both to scan, but the Canon Solution

I have two Canon printers an MP970 and an MX710, when I installed the MX710 it disabled my ability to access the MP970 SCANNER from the Canon Solution Menu.
I have tried to re-install the drivers and the MP970 Solutions but even that only allows the scanner in the MX710?
IS there any way to use the scanners for both? AND what do I need to do.

Hi bburtjr,
The MP970 and MX710 use two seperate versions of the Solution Menu, so I think what is happening is that it copied over your desktop shortcut with the latest version which nly shows the 710. If both versions of the Solution Menu are still on the computer, they should be accessible under your Start Menu if you are using Windows or your Applications Menu if you are on a Mac. Under the Start Menu you would go to All Programs and Canon Utilities and it should list two seperate versions of Solution Menu. The newwer version being for the 710 and the older being for the 970. On Mac, if you click Go from Finder, and click Applications, you should have the same Canon Utilities folder and the same applies as it does in Windows. You should have two versions of Solution Menu, one for each printer.
