Imovie 11 Canon Camcorder and Camera support

I have a Canon Legria HF M46 and a Canon Ixus 600D. Imovie 11 can not recornize any of the 2 models when i connect via USB. Iphoto 11 finds both products
with no problem. Anybody have and idea what i am doing wrong. I can see when i search the internet that other peogle have no proglemt getting Imovie reconizing Legria M41. The Camcorder is the most importent. Of course i could by a SD card and take it out of my Camcorder and into my SD card reader of the mac (i have a mac mini) But i have bougt the M46 becourse of the internel 16gb memory and hope anybody have a suggestion.

Hi,
The only thing that I can see in iPhoto are the still photos. Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

  • Canon G11 and Camera Raw...

    I'm running CR 5.6 on a MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and though this version is supposed to support the Canon G11, I'm finding it abysmal at any ISO higher than 200-400.  The amount of noise added between the preview (which I know is based on the JPEG) and opening it in CR is significant and the white balance goes nuts as well.  I've also tried the new DNG Converter and see the same thing.  Is anyone else having this issue?  I've also got the Canon S90 but haven't tried it out yet.  I'm also going to post something in the Lightroom forum as that's where, ultimately, I'd like to do most of my RAW processing.
    I'm attaching two images-- one is the jpeg from the canon g11 and the other is a jpeg exported from Photoshop CS4 without any processing to illustrate this.  The ISO was 500 on these shots.
    any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Having done still more playing, now with some more shots under artificial lighting, I'd have to say the colour in the Adobe Standard profile for the G11 is starting to look less good under tungsten light.  In sunlight/daylight the Adobe standard profile is really excellent, colorwise, but under tungsten lights the reds and browns can assume a day-glo quality that is quite alarming!
    The Canon profiles and the jpegs seem to handle tungsten much much better - to get a similar (more accurate) result on the Adobe standard profile I have to pull the red saturation right down and shift the red hue slightly towards orange in the calibration tab.  I'd need to get hold of a proper colour checker and shoot it under more controlled conditions under tungsten light with a proper white balance done to be sure, (as the lighting conditions for the concert shots I was playing with were suboptimal to put it mildly) but getting as good colour under tungsten light as the jpegs spit out is definitely proving a little troublesome with the 5.6 beta. I can work around it by switching to a different default setting for high ISO, using the Canon profiles where I'm likely to be shooting using tungsten, but it's getting to be more mucking about than I'd like for an upmarket point and shoot! It would be nice if the Adobe profile for the G11 was as effective as the one for my 20D, where it just works. No need to kludge with exposure adjustments or use a different profile for different light sources.

  • Canon S100 and Camera RAW 6.6

    I upgraded from Photoshop Elements 9 to Elements 10 for the Canon S100 RAW compatability.
    I installed the Elements 10 and then updated the Camera RAW to 6.6 from the Help Menu. When I try to open a file folder with a S100 RAW CR2 file I get the following error:
    I have the latest Canon RAW Codec 1.9.0 installed.
    I searched the on-line support and followed the instructions to uninstall Elements 10 (I also uninstalled Elements 9). I rebooted and re-installed Elements 10 then, I installed the RAW 6.6 file directly from the file on page: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5316. I still get the same error message when I go to the folder containing S100 CR2 files.
    However, if I close the error window and try to open the S100 RAW file it opens in a separate window titled: Camera RAW 6-6 - Canon PowerShot S100 which can then be opened in Elements 10 after adjustment.
    So, Elements 10 may be working properly except for the error window that keeps poping up as long as I have the folder open that contains the S100 RAW files.
    Any comments or help appreciated.

    The message you are seeing is from Windows and has nothing to do with any Adobe products other than the fact they use Windows File / Open dialogs to locate files. 
    Windows is seeing a CR2 file and probably wants to show you the thumbnail for it, and the thumbnail handler for CR2 files that is registered with Windows is the Canon RAW Codec.  When Windows asks the Canon RAW Codec to show the thumnail for the S100 CR2 file, the Canon RAW Codec is smart enough to know it is too old, but the link it gives you leads to a place that does not contain any newer codec to install.  Canon is slow to release updates for their RAW Codec.  Version 1.9.0 is from last April 2011 so any new cameras that have come out since then are not supported, but it's near the end of February 2012 and if they update it once a year, then maybe it'll be updated soon.
    On my system I use the payfor FastPictureViewer Codec Pack to view the thumanils of various image files:
    http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/
    It shows S100 thumbnails and full-screen previews ok even though it is much older than that model of camera. 

  • Canon 6d and camera raw in PS CS5

    Does anyone know of camera raw plug in for canon 6d? Also, is compression using DNG an issue?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    The 6D was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 which, unfortunately, is only compatible with CS6 and later. Camera Raw 7.3 is not compatible with CS5.
    Convert your Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.

  • Is the new Canon XL-H1 camera supported in Final Cut?

    Hi All,
    I understand that FCP does not yet support the 24F (progressive) or 30F (progressive) modes in this new Canon camera.
    Canon originally told me that an update to FCP was in the works which would incorporate this codec (or whatever it's called) but Apple will not tell me anything about this. But Canon now tells me that they can't comment on what Apple may or may not be doing.
    Does anyone out there know more about this issue?
    This is an extract from an email someone sent me about this problem which makes the issue much more clear:
    "Hi Harry,
    My incomplete understanding of both the 24F and 30F modes is that Canon
    has been able to embed a truly progressive frame in a 60i stream. As
    you may know these progressive frames were somehow captured from the
    XL-H1's interlaced CCDs.
    The problem is since these progressive frames are flagged in an
    interlaced stream the NLE has to be able to extract them properly. My
    understanding is that the current version of Final Cut Pro cannot properly
    handle 24F or 30F. Apparently Apple needs to release an update to Final
    Cut to allow it to extract the flagged frames. You might want to go to
    the Final Cut Pro website to let Apple know how important this is you.
    I am planning on getting the XL-H1 soon myself and I am hoping Apple
    does something soon myself."
    So here I am posting this message.
    Is there anyone at Apple that I can get hold of and bug about this?
    Ideas please ...
    Best
    Harry

    The 24F mode on the Canon is real 24p in that it's 24 evenly spaced frames a second, but it's really just badly de-interlaced 48i. It's stored on tape as 24p in their own format, probably similar to the JVC's 24p by embedding it in 60p using frame repeat flags.
    The 30F is generated from 60i in the same manner, but is stored again in some wierd format (everyone else just embeds 30p in 60i, making it totally compatible) so nothing understands it. This is a big mistake IMHO. Who's going to buy a camera that you can't capture into your NLE, and can't play on a HDV tape deck??

  • Canon 40D and G9 support

    Apple locked down the original 40D support thread which is not a good sign for us Aperture customers who are not able to use our $300 application.
    I did find an article that talks about using Aperture with unsupported cameras and I thought it might be helpful:
    http://www.oreillynet.com/digitalmedia/blog/2007/09/dealingwith_unsupported_rawf.html
    Obviously this is not something any of us wants to deal with for long - especially since Adobe has offered support through Lightroom since September 12th, but it looks like we are going to be forced to find a work around until Apple decides to provide a solution.

    Technically, discussing future features that haven't been announced by Apple is against the terms of service for the forum. That might be one reason why 'support my brand new camera' threads tend to end up getting locked.

  • Microphone and camera support roadmap?

    Hi,
    I've been working on a design project at my university and we'd love to use Java FX.
    However, we need microphone support, and preferably camera as well.
    I know it's not supported right now, but will this be supported in the future?
    When would this be?
    Thanks,
    Ivan

    This is the related issue tracker: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-3458 "Camera and Microphone"
    It is scheduled for Lombard with the initial Java 8/JavaFX 8 release (which has general availability in September, 2013).
    I don't think there have been no check-ins related to it on the JavaFX 8 branch, so (IMO) there is high probability that the feature will be cut from the JavaFX 8 branch.
    In the meantime there is a sample open source project which integrates JavaFX and the LTI-Civil video capture library, which you could try if you wished:

    i have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can anybody help me.

    You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized.  The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
    According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
    Are you using PSE 11 and not 12?  PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.

  • I have a Canon 6D and the new Panasonic GH4 both are not in the list of supported cameras! What can I do?

    I have a Canon 6D and the new Panasonic GH4 both are not in the supported list of cameras in Finalcut Pro 10 ! What can I do???

    Plenty of cameras don't make the list for various reasons but work fine,
    If you have the cameras but not the application, downliad the trial version and see how it goes.
    If you have both the cameras and the app already, do some test projects to see.

  • I have a Canon 20D and the ipad camera attachment, but screen says it does not support... what can I do?

    I have a Canon 20D and wish to download to my ipad when traveling- I have the camera attachment, but when I connect it- I get a message saying it does not support the device. Is there anything I can do?

    Kelli-
    Another solution would be to find a Compact Flash-to-USB card adapter that is compatible with the USB adapter in the Camera Connection Kit.  Some such adapters draw too much current from the iPad.
    You can also get a Secure Digital-to-Compact Flash adapter that would allow you to use SD cards in your camera.

    Then new version of IMovie imported nearly all of my video and then  suddenly closed.  Now it won't recognize the video that it stil hasn't  imported?  I took the sd card out of the canon camcorder but still won't  recognize or import it.  Is there a cache that needs cleared?

    Did you get any joy with answering this?
    My first thought was that maybe when you imported you chose to leave the files  in place rather than copy then to the iMovie library..but I can't see where that option is now.
    I too have created a short movie from load f clips..but can't export or share either..the 'Share 'menu is empty..you go to it and no sub menu appears.

  • Poor Picture Quality in iMovie Which USB Camcorder Will Work and Which Won'

    Dear Colleagues,
    I continue to read accounts by readers regarding iMovie 98 havinga poor image quality when sharing to iDVD. It has been suggested that users with non-High Definition camcorders, standard DV8 camcorders such as my Sony DCR-TRV315, are stretching the Movie to far when using the Large and Medium setting for sharing ing to iDVD and other media.
    If this is the case, what pixel size should I use when sharing to iDVD. I had understood that 720X480 was the standard format for non-High Definition Digital 8 Camcorders. So what correct pixel ratio should I use for DVD playback on a wide-screen HDTV with non-HD recordings.
    I am planning to purchase a Sony USB camcorder and I continue to hear reports that they and other brands of USB camcorders won't work with iMovie 08. Is this simply a new user not fully understanding how his new camcorder works?
    If this is not the case, how can one determine which USB camcorders are compatible with iMovie 08?
    Please get back to me soon.
    Best regards,
    Robert O. Cobb

    A great deal has been said about im08 degrading interlaced video, to qualify the matter im08 resorts to progressive video depending on the capabilities of your mac, I for example can achieve full quality 1080i exports.
    Additionally the matter has to be put into perspective. Of course a source video looks clearer on a mac if it is displayed in it's original interlaced format on a frame by frame basis, but this isn't how one would watch video. interlaced video looks dreadful on a computer monitor and needs to be de-interlaced to be watched, additionally you would never watch a video frame by frame and so comparing video in this way is somewhat pointless. There is a quality difference on some macs but if the video is compared in a realistic way the difference is quite small and often unnoticeable.
    720 x 480 as you likely realise uses non square pixels which will be converted to square pixels for your AVC exports in im08, to maintain the aspect ratio of the pixels you should export to DV.
    There are a list of supported cameras here, but of course there are many that are not in this list that do work. If you select a camera, post to see if anyone has had any compatibility issues, but as you seem to be aware a number of apparent issues are as a result of user errors rather than incompatibility.

  • Canon ZR40 camcorder and a Macbook with the latest OS.

    I have a Canon ZR40 and a Macbook with the latest OS.  My iMovie does not recognize the camcorder.  Can someone please give me step by step directions on what I should be doing?

    1. Turn on the camcorder and set it to VTR or VCR mode (this mode may have a different name on your
    camera).
    2. Connect the camcorder to your computer using a FireWire cable (the one that came with your
    camcorder or any other FireWire cable).
    3. If this is the first time you’re importing from a device that records high-definition (HD) video, an HD
    Import Setting dialog appears. Even if you aren’t importing HD video now, select Large or Full, and then
    click OK.
    You can change this preference later if you do import HD video.
    4. If the Import window doesn’t open, choose File > “Import from Camera.”
    5. If you have multiple devices connected to your computer, choose the device you want to import from the
    Camera pop-up menu.
    6. Set the switch on the lower-left side of the window to one of the following:
    Automatic: Automatically rewinds the tape, imports all of the tape contents, and rewinds the tape
    again.
    Manual: Lets you rewind and fast-forward the tape so that you can import only the footage you want.
    Use the controls to set your tape to the point where you want to begin importing.
    7. Click Import.
    If you still can’t import video after checking the items above, try the following:
    If iMovie doesn’t recognize your camcorder
    Turn the camcorder off and on again.
    Disconnect the cable from both the camcorder and the computer, and then reconnect it.
    Quit and then reopen iMovie.
    Restart your computer.
    Try using a different cable.
    Try using a different computer with iMovie installed.

  • How do you "import" AVCHD 60P from Canon camcorder so it can be "converted" for iMovie?

    Low-tech guy here.  I don't know video formats and I don't edit video often.  I used my new Canon VIXIA HF R400 camcorder to record high-quality video (AVCHD 60P) not realizing when I connected my camera to my MacBook Pro the video does not even appear for import onto the computer.  I realize I have to convert the format to one iPhoto and iMovie will recognize, but my question is how do I even get my computer to see the video on my camera so I can drag it into a converter software?  I see several chats about how to convert, which assumes the software can see the video on the camera - my problem is I can't even get my computer to see the video so I can then import and covert it.  I've tried Bigasoft AVCHD converter software and the AVCHD Converter by iFunia, but neither software sees the video.  (The Bigasoft doesn't even recognize my camcorder.  iFunia recognizes the camera but doesn't see the video clips.)

    Thank you for trying to help me.  I may just be hopeless.  As I mentioned I don't know my video formats (though I've tried to learn now).  I just upgraded to Maverics (thank you!) and was pleased to see that now iMovie recognizes my Canon camcorder, but it does not "see" my individual video clips.  The thumbnails are just blank and I'm not able to check mark any of them (see image).  Maybe the format is just too high-quality for iMovie?  It's AVCHD 60P (or 1080p?)  I don't know what the difference is between the two.  iMovie used to be so simple I didn't need to know that.  I just wanted to put together a simple movie quickly.  I'll have to let go of the dream and let go of iMovie!  LOL  Again, thanks for trying to help!
