I want to edit Canon 7D movies on 64 bit system

I would like to be able to edit movies from my Canon 7D, 5D Mark II, and Panasonic ZS3 (espicially the lite movie version). I am mainly a still photographer but from time to time will do film clips. What I would like to do is splice movies together, and remove parts of clips. I am sure the more I learn the more I want to do. I would also like to be able to create one new music file from a few seperate files. I use showit web and the program can only use one music file so the solution for a longer slide show is to join files to create one new one.
I have no movie editing experience. I have been reading a lot of on-line reviews and rarely does the review mention problems with 64bit systems, but posts of uses have made me realize my 64 bit Vista may be a problem. Should the latest version of Elements run on a 64bit system?
One thing that appeals to me about Adobe products is I can usually find books that help me self teach myself. Hopefully there will be books on Elements.

Steve,
Thanks for your reply. My understanding is the first thing I should do is convert the files then edit. Right now my goal is to take vacation clips and make one video out of them. I am guessing with Quick Time I can convert to one format or would it still help to have Elements for the coversion?

How can I edit CANON DSLR .mov without bucking/ 3 GB RAM ?

Hey Guys!
I am filming with my CANON EOS 600D, which creates MOV-Files in Full-HD. Premiere Pro can read this files, but the picture doesn't play fluently.
Therefore it takes much time to edit exactly. I thought that Offline-Editing might be a solution, but it doesn't help anything.
How can I edit those files without bucking with my 3 GB RAM? Do I have to re-encode them in a more native file-container?
Thanks!

For film editing 3GB RAM are way to less. You need much more RAM, even with simple image editing in Photoshop with new versions 3GB RAM are not enough. YOu have either to upgrade your computer with more RAM or if this is not possible buy another one with more capabilites.
Für die deutschsprachige Community:
Die Frage war, ob es andere Datei-Formate oder Möglichkeiten gibt, bei MOV, aufgenommen mit einer Canon 600D die Beschränkungen zu umgehen, die sich ergeben, wenn der Computer nur 3GB RAM hat.
Ich habe ihm empfohlen, entweder den Computer aufzurüsten oder wenn das nicht geht, einen zu kaufen, der mehr Möglichkeiten bietet, da 3GB RAM für die Filmbearbeitung definitiv zu wenig sind und nicht einmal mit modernen Programmen für die einfache Bildbearbeitung ausreichen.

Quick Time 7 Pro unusable to edit Q.T. movie

Apple is no help whatsoever. Response i a form letter over and over again. The Key exist against pirating but in fact prevent legitimate user like me from using the software. Over the years I purchased 4 keys because they did not work. Never a refund. Unbelievable! Apple user friendly? Think again!
Editing functions are grey. Registration says it is Quick Time Pro. 3 days later and I can't use the software anymore. I use Q.T. maybe once a year. Every time the same problem. I suspect that each time an upgrade comes up it screws up Q.T. Pro.
I have been an Apple fanatic ever since the Apple II. I am now disgusted!
Apple should have a look at El Gato's EyeTV to learn how video software should work. Yak!

Registration says it is
Quick Time Pro. 3 days later and I can't use the
software anymore. I use Q.T. maybe once a year.

If your key was for QT 6 and you have since installed QT 7 then you do need a new key. I know that it is tough but I consider the H264 in Qt 7 worth it.
If the info still says that QT pro is enabled then there may be other issues. What exactly are you trying to do?
If all you want is to export a file once in a long while, consider the export function of toast - which you may have already, mpeg streamclip (free), isquint (free ipod format only) or visualHub (cheap)
If you want to edit a QT movie then you could use imovie. I think that it can use a number of formats other than just dv.
Personally I would not be without QT pro.

Canon 7D MOV files = horrible editing in Premiere Pro CS4?

Hi All,
I just got Premiere Pro CS4 in the mail today. I was so excited to start cutting up my Canon 7D MOV files but it seems the MOV files play horribly in Premiere.
I looked around a little on the forum and found some others feel the same way (as well as the 5D users).
Surely I won't have to use quicktime to preview my videos. The previewer in Premiere can barely play the files.
So, what is everybody doing these days to get a smoother work flow?
I don't want to have to do a lot of pre-editing (didn't Adobe think of this before claiming it's compatible with Canon 7D/5D files?)
Also, when starting a NEW SEQUENCE, what PRESETS should I use? I record in 60fps. So AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic?? (what a long name!)
HELP ME!!

Hey Jeff,
Here is that link I read it from...
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/500152
Yeah, "technically supports" is giving me a headache. I've spent my night and morning trying to find the best solution and it seems very scattered on the web.
So far the best is this blog about the "complete idiots guide to Canon 5D and PrPRO CS4..." (note the link doesn't go straight to blog... look on the right side and click the link)
http://www.crookedpathfilms.com/blogframe.html
I didn't want to go the FCP route but I think I made a mistake buying CS4 last minute. You know what sucks? Yesterday as I'm installing Premiere Pro CS4 I'm checking my email and I see the news about the April launch of CS5 and how greatly improved PrPro CS5 is. Oops.

I copied a movie home movie from a VHS tape to a disc. I want to edit it and make it a part of iMovie. How do I do this?

I used a software product called Honestech 5.0 from VHS to Disc. I have converted several of my VHS tapes to discs. I would like to modify the movies on these discs. I do not have any idea how to do this. Can it be done?
I have iDVD, iTunes,and iMovie on my Apple computer.

Thanks for the assistance. I will purchase the software. Copying VHS to DVD disc went well? I wanted to clean up the movies I copied by editing. I plan to use iMovie to do this and then copy this edited version to a DVD disc.
Sure am glad there is access to knowledgeable people like you.
Thanks again.

I have a band video that I want to edit. In iMove 09, I could clip to crop or add a transition or both without altering the audio. In iMovie 11, the audio lower or drops out when I clip for and use a transtion. Is there a setting to preven this?

Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

Editing (cut/paste/move) more than one track at a time

i'm new to mac/garageband and everything is going great so far. i'm currently using my fostex hardisc recorder to record basic tracks and then dumping them into my imac as wave files. i'm currently trying to edit a drum track that requires editing all 8 channels of drums. i can't figure out how to use the cut and paste feature on 8 tracks at once. is this possible? i read up on shift clicking to select more than one region but it doesn't seem to apply to the tracks. any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
If I'm understanding, you want to cut a part of the 8 drum tracks, copy it, and paste it to a different part, all in one go?
If that's right, here's how you'd do it:
1. Select the top most track of the drum tracks by hitting the track header. This will be relevant in the pasting part. By hitting the track header, it will select all the regions in that track.
2. Either shift click all the regions you want to split, or you can rubberband-select them if you have blank space available to do it.
3. put the SPL where you want to cut. Then hit "apple" "T". If you want to have an endpoint, move the SPL to the place you want and hit "apple" "T" again.
4. Click on the background of the window to de-select all the regions. Then either rubberband-select all the newly cut regions, or use the **** click method. When they are all selected, hit "apple" "C".
5. At this point, make sure that the top most drum track is selected again. Put the SPL at the beginning of the place you want to place and hit "apple" "V".
Hope that helps.

NON-Flash User Wants to Edit and "Recompile" an SWF or FLA file...help??

Hello!! Although I am NOT new to Mac, I have NEVER attempted to edit an SWF file and I'm seeking an EASY way to do so. I think I might be CLOSE but I'm wasting time trying to figure it out so I'm posting here for some help...hopefully!! :-))
I also apologize because I did NOT know where to post this question so KINDLY direct me if I have posted in the wrong place!
Soooo, I have an complete, original .swf flash movie. It is a Holiday greeting but the VERY LAST frame has text that is NOT RELEVANT and I wish to change that text.
It appears that the text I want to change is (I do NOT know the correct term) a "layer" of graphic content for the last frame.
So, I have done TWO THINGS: I have used the Flash Decompiler app to (1) create an .fla file and (2) DECOMPILED the entire .swf extracting ALL the resources/objects that are used to create the original .swf animation. I have NO IDEA what to do with the .fla file...I know it is used to edit the animation but I do not have software to manipulate the file.
BUT, in the decompiled files, I HAVE LOCATED the one resource...a TEXT RESOURCE...that I wish to change. This extracted text resource is named "Dynamic text 293.swf", saved as in .swf format.
Now HERE is where I am STUCK!!...and I THINK this is the direction I would like to go:
1. Open the Dynamic text 293.swf file in a format that allows me to EDIT THE TEXT I wish to change. HOW DO I DO THAT?? Can I convert it to a jpeg, edit the text, and then BACK to an .swf file?? Can I simply CREATE a JPEG and somehow SAVE IT as an .swf file to REPLACE the Dynamic text 293.swf file? Is there an EASIER/DIFFERENT way to edit the text in this Dynamic text 293.swf file?
2. After editing the text in the Dynamic text 293.swf file, HOW DO I "RECOMPILE" the folder of alllll the extracted resources from the original .swf animation, NOW with this NEW/EDITED Dynamic text 293.swf file, and RECREATE the full .swf with the changes I made??
Again, I do NOT have FLASH or MACROMEDIA or any of those apps :-/ I DO have the .fla file conversion AND have isolated the SINGLE extracted resource file (Dynamic text 293.swf) that I want to edit.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP Greatly appreciated!!
Scott

That's a problem, since the format changes between jpg and swf when converted
probably won't just go back to their previous state, less the changed section.
The converter you have, is it a freeware to convert swf to fla; or what does it say
that it can do? In some cases, a flash video can be copied (perhaps illegally)
through use of a software such as Ambrosia's SnapZ ProX and a movie of any-
thing playing on your Mac can be copied. So, a movie could be paused at the
end where the unwanted content exists, so the copy would not have it recorded.
Snapz ProX - Ambrosia Software: (not freeware, has 'free trial' version)
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
Otherwise, there are a few shareware and freeware editors for swf content; to
some degree or another they either convert content or allow some editing.
And this may only work as far as the item's creator allowed, if the file is locked.
' swf fla freeware editor Mac OS X ' - google search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=swffla+freeware+editor+Mac+OS+X&btnG=GoogleSearch&aq=f&oq=
I'd tried some basic editing of swf files a few years ago, and was able to only
convert the string of images into single-frame jpgs and work on each one,
but could not get them back into an swf. Perhaps graphic converter or other
software could do something for these; but I am inexperienced in all that.
Good luck & happy computing!

Canon EOS Movie Plugin-E1 not recognized in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7

Canon EOS Movie Plugin-E1 not recognized in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7
I just installed the new version of final cut pro 10 and the canon plugin-E1 version 1.4 for the canon 5D mk III but after starting final cut pro I can not find the Log and transfer button., with the result I cannot import my files.
Is there a solution for this problem.

There is no L&T function in FCPX.
The import media dialogue window does what you want.
OS versions later than 10.6 should be fine importing Canon DSLRs.

Editing a DVD movie

Newbie-sorry.
I recorded a movie from satellite, burned a DVD. I now want to edit out the commercials and junk after the movie. I bought my Imac 24 3 weeks ago. I have Imovie HD etc. Will someone please tell me how to edit this movie. I have copied the movie to my desktop. Standard Video_TS and Video_RM. I don't know which to use, probably Video_TS. Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

welcome checkmate to the  boards of discussions...
DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (29$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast 6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
non of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

I want to edit the text within Captivate after importing slides from PowerPoint

Hi,
Background: I import slides from a .pptx file. Once the slides are created inside of Captivate, I want to edit the text on the slide, but I can't; it's all become part of the background. So, I am left with two options: 1) open the .pptx file, edit the text, and then re-import the slide 2) Manually create everything on the slide inside of Captivate. This is so labor-intensive. I was hoping Captivate 7 would address this, but what seemed could possible address it - High Fidelity - isn't available for mac. I'm sure others have this problem too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you'd better look at Adobe Presenter if you need only to convert a PPT to an eLearning course?
Captivate is much more powerful, but its principal goal is not to convert PPT's. Each PPT-slide is converted into a movie slide so that all animations will be transferred properly. Personally I never create presentations in PPT but always directly in CP. You could import only the backgrounds, and create the other objects in CP. Images can be imported into the library, audio as well.

HT5071 I almost finished my iBook and layed out almost 100 pages. Now I wanted to edit chapters and Sections by moving them into certain areas of the 100 pages. It will not work, adn I have no clue where to go from there. Any advise?

I almost finished 100 pages on the iBook Author. Unfortunately, I just created one page after the other (with lots of graphics and pictures). Having done that, I wanted to edit the iBook by placing Chapters and Sections between these pages.
I used iBook Author Help and Publishing with iBook Author for advise, but I am unable to move Chapters and Sections between the already finished pages. I get the strange feeling I did the whole thing wrong and wasted many hours for nothing. Anyone out there who struggled with the same problem? I self published a book already and wanted to use iBook Author to update and upgrade my existing book. Any advise is very much appreciated, thank you. Wolf

You may also try starting a "fresh" copy from scratch and copying and pasting into it with the order you want. I have succeeded in this a few times.
Hope this helps...

New Canon EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro

Just thought your would like to know. From canonrumors.com
http://www.canonrumors.com/2011/04/canon-updates-e1-plugin-for-fcp/
Canon today announces the latest update for EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro – the company’s custom-developed software application that provides quicker and easier editing of EOS Movie footage in Apple’s Final Cut Pro software suite.
Launching to coincide with the start of the 2011 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will make the importing of EOS Movie files even easier, allowing users to transfer files from any folder, without needing to mirror the folder structure on the camera itself.
The update also enables smoother importing from Canon’s EOS 7D, EOS 5D Mark II and EOS-1D Mark IV models, allowing users to import footage without requiring the THM file generated by the camera.
Originally launched in February 2010, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro is designed to quickly and seamlessly convert EOS Movie footage from Canon’s leading range of EOS DSLR cameras to Apple’s high-quality ProRes 422 codec. The plug-in allows users to convert footage at approximately twice the speed of Apple’s standard conversion, creating a smoother workflow for the rapidly growing number of videographers shooting HD video content on DSLR cameras.
EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will be available to download for free from 25th April 2011.

And I just spent over an hour yesterday explaining to a client how utterly essential it was to maintain the exact folder structure for proper log & transfer:/
If I say that once a day to students, I say it a thousand times.
On top of that I just started Carbon Copy Clone today with all my updates in my editing lab. Not the end of the world but it's a little time consuming on 80 stations. Oh well.

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad
