Import Error with Canon Vixia HF10

Im trying to import 98 video clips from my Canon Vixia HF10 . I am using a iMAC
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 duo running on Mac OSx 10.6.5
Some videos says imported and the others say ERROR. After its done it'll say some videos didn't go through and asked if I would like to archive it.
I need these videos to edit !

Hello,
I am having the exact same issue here with a Canon VIXIA HFS200 and a MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo (with gobbs of RAM and Hard drive space). Did you ever find a solution to your issue? Anyone? Anyone?

Canon Vixia HF10 and importing into FCP

Can anyone tell me how to import from the Canon Vixia HF10's internal memory into FCP? It seems that there is only a USB connector on the camera and FCP only supports Firewire. Any suggestions?

Dear Jerry,
I have the same issue. Just got the camera. I can copy the "private" folder which contains all the information which I believe is based on .MTS type files.
I was hoping that I could somehow just load these clips in directly as I used to use a canon miniDV which required me to play the entire clips.
I have mpegstreamclip but am not too familiar. Is there any other way other than having to convert each and every clip?
Thanks so much for any advice you can give me.

How do you Backup Canon VIXIA HF10 files for FCP?

Hi,
I just bought a Canon VIXIA HF10, wonderful!!
I'm trying to import the captured/recorded files into FCP..i found that's a problem..
When i drag and drop all the files and folder on my desktop and when i deleted 1 of the file in the backup folder...Final Cut Pro unable to browse the whole folder for preview and even doesn't launch in the Log and Transfer window
How to solve this problem? how to delete the clips that i don't want and keep posible to launch in FCP? Deleted it on Camera before backup to computer? not really a good idea...
HF10 users....helps...
Thanks and Appreciate!

I have HF100. Do you mean make a backup of footage you take before editing? Or after editing? For footage before editing, I make an exact copy of the SDHC card from my camera and store that on an external harddrive. That is in the avchd codec (with file and directory structures intact). Therefore 8GB card = 8GB on Hard Drive. With the HF10 I believe it is possible to copy the files on Camera's Hard Drive to Camera's SDHC. Then you could follow my workflow. You will also find that you can point Log and Transfer to the stored copy on the drive and it will transcode to ProRes or AIC as you determine. The important thing to remember is to maintain the exact file and directory structure as the original.

Ingest from AVCHD Canon VIXIA HF10

After quite a bit of research I purchased a Canon VIXIA HF10 with the hope that FCE would ingest footage from the camera. However, FCE does not recognize the camera. I've also tried to capture once the program is open but it tells me it is "unable to initialize video deck". Any recommendations?

Is this the case with any AVCHD camcorder?
In general, yes. Some cameras shoot in a format called "AVCHD Lite" which need conversion for use in FCE. (BTW, FCE will transcode your AVCHD media into the Apple Intermediate Codec during ingestion which will greatly increase file size. Hope you have lots of free space!)

Canon vixia hf10 problem...

i am using the canon vixia hf10 camera. i upload the vids to premiere fine and whn they are on the right side and just under the "organize" spot they look fine. i drag them to the left into the timeline and they look horrible. they look all jumbled. They are all mixed up with a bunch of thick horizantal bars and i cant fix it. I have tried to check the boxes next to reverse field dominance and interlace consecutive frames,and it doesnt work. any ideas?

This sounds like a mismatch between your source footage, and your Project Preset.
If you do not know the full specs. of your source footage, you can use G-Spot, the free utility to get ALL of the details.
Please tell us the full specs. of your source footage. Next, tell us the exact specs., chosen when you did New Project. There is very likely a mismatch there, and it can easily be rectified.
Good luck,
Hunt

Is imovie compatible with canon vixia M50?

Is imovie compatible with canon vixia M50? I have the latest version OSX 10.8.2

I cannot find it on this list:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
That does not mean it will not work, but if you haven't purchased the camcorder yet then I recommend limiting your search to those known to be compatible. Better yet, limit your search to manufacturers that specifically indicate iMovie compatibility.
Panasonic does; I am not certain about Canon.

Import errors with numbers, not enough memory

Import errors with numbers, not enough memory

Hi heiko,
From your system profile line, it appears you should be asking this question in the iWork For iOS forum, not this one, which deals with Numbers for Mac OS X. I'd also suggest being a bit less cryptic in writing your question.
The link will take you to the iWork for iOS forum.

Import failed with canon 6d footage after latest update

After I updated to Final Cut X 10.0.8, I've been getting "Import Failed" messages during the import process when taking in footage from my Canon 6D
The import process also seems to be going very slow (slower than usual)
I've tried duplicating the SD card locally on the hard drive and re-importing, but have gotten the same results.
If I click OK on the error dialogue box, the import will continue. but another box will pop up every 5 to 10 minutes or so
Any ideas?

Hey Russ, it actually works fine for me too the few times I've used it but I point it out as a common denominator with people who have trouble importing that way. Separating the .mov files into their own folder eliminates the camera and card reader, both much slower than just transfering files from a connected drive. But I'm doing newspaper video with Canon DSLRs - including 5D3 video, similar to 6D - almost daily where speed is of the essence and this is by far the most foolproof method I've come across.

How do import footage from Canon Vixia HV40 to Macbook Pro?

Hello everyone,
I am in dire need of help! I have to edit video footage from a conference and all of it was filmed on the Canon Vixia HV40. I received a slip in the camcorder bag that said make sure computer and camera are off before plugging in firewire wire. Once plugged in, turn the computer on first, then turn the camera on. I've tried this but my macbook is not recognizing any external plug in.
I downloaded the Canon Vixia software but it keeps giving me this error message: No camera found.
I've searched the interwebs for different solutions but I'm at a loss as to what I should do. Also, is there a way of importing the footage directly to Final Cut Pro X?
My macbook specs are:
2.6 GHz intel core i7 v10.8.
If anyone can give me specific, step-by-step instructions, I would be so grateful!

That camera shoots AVCHD.
Are you using Log & Transfer to access the footage?
Can you see the camera's storage in the Finder?

MTS.problem with Canon Vixia HF S100 mts.file not transferable to FCE4 ?

As new owner of iMaC and FCE4 and new in video...but"experience photographer" can't figure out how to get the mts. files from my Canon Vixia HF S100 to FCE4 neither from HD previously stored in folders by Canon original import software made the :-{ provided with camcorder.
iMovie can read and open only the mts.files diretly from SDHC card/camera but not from H drive.I was told by Apple sale rep. if I would go with FCE4 it will support mts.and solve my problem but opposite is true so far,reading this forum doesn't help much...cause only solution offered by many is use of another convert soft,with is questionable with lost of HD quality or not,but why ...why this format doesn't work directly with FCE4 ???
it's frustrating...welcome in the world of AVCHD ;-{ ...

Help with Canon VIXIA HF M31 4353B001 HD Camcorder

Hello, there
I bought this Camcorder, " Canon VIXIA HF M31 4353B001 HD "
and I'm new to this HD Cameras
I'm trying to figured out how to edit the video from this Camera,
the manual says that it produces
video file format:
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
others says that file format is:
AVCHD
Whatever that is, but?
what type of file should I see when I take a look in my memory card in my PC and
what do I do with those files?
I heard Premiere CS5 has trouble editing these files?
Please, help
I'll really appreciate it
Freddy

Copy the entire contents of the camera's card to your hard drive.
Use Premiere Media Browser to import the files into your project.
Do this:

Still trying to use 'get media' with canon VIXIA HF20

I have been working on this problem on and off for a while. I am using Premiere Elements 8 with a USB 2.0 connection to my Canon VIXIA HF20. Every time I open get media the camera is not seen. The PC sees it as a drive and I can access the stream on the camera through 'my computer', but can't figure out how to drectly download the streams into Eleiments. I have posted before as was advised to see if my camera was set to 'VTR'. I have checked high and low for this setting- manual, online, camera itself- and have not found anything even remotely related to this setting. Please if there are any ideas or if anyone has had this same issue and solved it PLEASE let me know.
Thanks much.

Actually, for AVCHD, USB is the the ONLY way to connect the camcorder to your computer -- and Premiere Elements' Video Importer should indeed see the camcorder over a USB connection.
It sounds like, for some reason, it's not working in this case. (I assume you've ensured that the USB is not a shared connection, and you've tried more than one USB socket. You've also gone to your Device Manager and ensured your computer's operating system sees the camcorder.)
Have you installed the camcorder's software to your computer? That may include some necessary connection drivers.
Otherwise, you can use your computer's operating system to move the video from the camcorder to your hard drive. Then you can use Get Media/From Files and Folders to get the video into your project.
It's not the way it's supposed to work, but it will do until you can figure out what's up with your configuration.

Import error with MPEG-2 files: Brorsoft Video Converter to Apple Prores.

Hi,
The Brorsoft Video Converter software gives me an 'import error' message when I attempt to import files from a folder on my desktop. That folder contains many mpg files (MPEG-2 Video, AC3). Those files in the folder on my desktop came from a Sony video camera.
I need to convert those mpg files to Apple Prores 422 HQ so I can then edit them in Apple Final Cut Pro X.
But when I go to import those mpg files into the Brorsoft Video Converter software, it comes up with a message saying: 'import error', indicating that the Brorsoft Video Converter software does not understand the type of file.
I am on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.
I've emailed Brorsoft support but I don't think English is their first language – they've emailed back to me asking for clarification of the problem. And I need the problem fixed as I have to edit this video for someone that has many waiting customers.
Could something have changed in the files when I copied them from the video camera to the desktop?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I was using a friend's video camera – I've just texted him for the exact model of Sony video camera. I didn't yet have the Brorsoft Video Converter software when I had to give the video camera back to my friend. So, I copied the files off the video camera to my desktop.
It records onto an internal hard drive. And yes you're right, I don't need to go HQ. I also tried plain Apple Pro Res. That didn't work either. It comes up with 'Import error' message, so it seems like it just doesn't understand the file type.
When I go 'Get Info' on one of the files off the camera, it tells me it is an 'MPEG-2 video, AC3' file.
I'll try and get MPEG Streamclip like you suggested and see if that works.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Paul

Import error with snapshot logs

I have an export that is a full from our production database. I'm trying to import a small subset of tables from a user to a different user. One of the tables has a snapshot log against it I believe due to the error msg in the import file. I don't care about the snapshot log I just want to get the table imported. How can I tell import to avoid the snapshot log. If this is not possible, how do I figure out what table it's says can't be found to import into.

This problem can occur on any platform.
Cause
Snapshots, snapshot logs, and related items are exported with the schema name explicitly given in the DDL statements, therefore, snapshots and their related items cannot be imported into a different schema.
If you attempt to use FROMUSER and TOUSER to import snapshot data, an error will be written to the Import log file and the items will not be imported.
Solution
It is expected behavior that the snapshot log cannot be imported with a FROMUSER and TOUSER import. Therefore the errors should either be prevented from happening, or be ignored:
1. Either delete the snapshot logs before the export takes place. Then run the export and import. After import completes, re-create the snapshot logs manually, and if necessary, perform a refresh of the snapshot.
2. Or ensure that the FROMUSER (SCOTT in this example) exists in the target database, so the import session does not abort with the IMP-0 error (Import terminated unsuccessfully). During the import, ignore the errors that are related to the snapshot logs. After import completes, re-create the snapshot logs manually, and if necessary, perform a refresh of the snapshot.

"Import Error" with Word Document (google doc)

I tried to open a word document that I created using Google's online document program and I keep getting 'import error' when I try to open with Pages. I tried it several times on several different .doc documents created with the Google program and get the same error message.
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It's likely they aren't true Word documents & there is some formatting or feature that the translator in Pages can't handle. Could you post a link to where these can be created so others of us can try it?
