Import video from canon xa10 directly from memory card to Premiere Pro CS4

Is this possible?
[moved to CS4 forum... JTS]

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.

  • Can you capture video from the internet, using premiere pro cc?

    trying to capture video from the internet, using premiere pro cc, is that possible?
    also - it keeps saying "video capture offline" - any solutions for that?

    I am going to go out on a limb and say that while it may be against the YouTube terms of service to download or scrape a video off of their service, there are times that I really don't care since it is for my personal use. Providing myself or my wife with entertainment that she can watch or listen to on her smartphone while on an airplane, or in a car traveling down the road, just doesn't bother my moral compass. Doesn't make it twitch in the least.
    Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps I shouldn't do it. Tough. I do, and will continue to do so until the Google police come knocking on my door.
    This is pretty much the same argument that they tried to kill the VCR with. The simple act of time shifting was something that was considered wrong, and illegal, until people came to their senses.
    As for the editing capability, you might be surprised at the ways it is possible to download video that works just fine for what I use it for. Premiere Pro has no problems allowing me to edit out the parts I don't like, or just aren't funny, and the quality really doesn't suffer much at all.
    Now, with the exception of something I did for my two year old Great Niece, I have never used any video that I have downloaded for anything except a tutorial, or in her case, a Sesame Street song I used when I shot video of me reading her the Sesame Street book that I purchased.
    Would it be wrong to post downloaded video, intact or edited, for public consumption? Sure it would. No question about it.
    But please do not assume that everyone downloading video from the Internet is doing so for nefarious purposes, and I promise not to assume everyone is a perfect angel and is following all the rules.

  • Importing contacts from memory card

    Have recently got new 5800 after mine got wet. The new one is slightly different and I have put my memory card from old one into new phone.
    I can't seem to find the right route to import my numbers off my memory card.
    I'm sure the card is not corrupted as it had all my music on which automatically transfered when I opened real player.

    file manager>double click the memory card>option>copy contacts>from memory card...
    this is how i remembered doing it.

  • 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. 

  • CS3 or CS4 -Import/Edit HD video from memory card Canon Vixia HFS100

    Can someone 'jumpstart' or direct me to good tutorial(s) for the following:
    Video recording with Canon Vixia HFS 100 camera is full HD 1080, 60i frame rate, AVCHD specs, onto a SDHC card.
    I have CS3, getting ready to install upgrade to CS4.  Most project files created are for NSTC standard TV broadcast.
    Answer to specific questions appreciated as well as additional information or resources.
    What preset is best to use for project files?
    Do you have to install the Pixela imagemixer to recognize for video import from the memory card?

    Unfortunately, you have posted into the Premiere forum. This is an older series of programs, prior to the introduction of the Premiere Pro line, with PrPro 1.0.
    Now, for AVCHD material, CS4.1 offers full native support for this format with most of its variations. One DOES need a beefy computer to process this footage, as it is very heavily CPU-dependent.
    I'll bet that Curt, or Jeff, will move your post to the PrPro sub-forum, so look for it there. You will get many more responses in that forum.
    Good luck,

    I got stock in past with this product for many different reasons,
    I have CS2 running under Windows XP Profesional,
    I just bought a SONY HD Camcorder Comsumer version,
    uses stick Memory to record video
    My primere Pro CS2 Has HD Presets for wide screen mode, that's ok
    the question I have is:
    My sony Camcorder came with its software to capture the video from camcorder " I guess " or maybe to edit video,
    but, looking at the Memory card from Windows, I can see the files in the card.
    question is:
    what's the best way to get the video HD from my Camcorder?
    to play back the video from my camcorder and capture it in Premiere Pro CS2 using HD Presets?
    or
    Can I import the video files from the memory card and import them into Premiere pro CS2 using HD Presets?
    or
    how would you do this?
    what software version is the best to work with video files from this Memory card?
    Please, explain
    I've been out dated
    from this video Package
    Thanks

    Unfortunately Premiere Pro 2 does not support video from from a memory card.
    You need to upgrade.

  • Can't import video from SD card!

    I can't import my video from my camera. It won't work by connecting my camera to the computer, or by using the SD card slot.
    Photos import fine, my video is only affected. I have the newest software.
    Please help!

    Can you get the video file onto the Desktop via the card reader?l  What camera do you have?  You might have to go thru iMovie.

  • Recover video from Memory Card in a N73 ME

    How can I recover a video from my memory card
    I have deleted from N73
    My Personal Blog
    http://www.megablogsite.com

    If you haven't used the memory card at all it may be recoverable.
    Seach for undelete or similar tools for Windows, then connect the memory card to windows and use the software to try to recover.
    It may not be possible though. And sometimes even if you recover it it may be corrupted, e.g. some bits will be missing making the file unplayable.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Import images from memory card?

    My Canon digital camera uses a removable memory card which I then put into an Inca Card Reader. When using Photoshop Elements 11 and try to open the Card Reader to import images, the Card Reader isn't even listed among the various drives attached to, or within, my computer? How can I fix this? I want Photoshop Elements 11 to recognise the Card Reader so I can import the images. My email address is [email protected] With thanks, Mike Pratt (Australia)

    Thanks Barbara,
    It's Windows 7 Professional. I hope that helps.

  • I imported video from a card into IPhoto and it plays in slow motion.  Any suggestions? Would importing into IMovie help at all?

    Hello
    I am importing video and pics into Iphoto and the video plays in slow motion.  Would importing in Imovie help or does it have something to do with the type of camera or file the video is in?

    It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • Automatically delete imported photos from memory card

    I cant find this option anywhere, and with other photo management systems it's a fairly standard option, but how do you automatically delete the photos off the memory card once you have successfully imported them??

    You don't. LR is conservative about destroying stuff, and wants you to put the card back into the camera to clear it.

  • How do i import photos from memory card

    I just bought a digital camera and apparently my battery died before I transferred the photos and now I can't.  I'm afraid I will lose the photos if I replace the battery to charge it and need to upload the photos but have no idea where I even find whatever this memory card reader is and can't find any info. Please help

    Thanks,  Larry.  I was so dumb and scared because I had read something somewhere about some camera that said not to remove the battery before downloading photos.  I couldn't remember WHERE I had read it and was scoring my camera's  manual and my emails  to see where I had read that.  Finally found it last night and it was some piece of crap kiddie camera.  So I went ahead and charged the battery and was able to load my photos this a.m.  Thanks! I may be looking to you for more advice.     I was trying  to click on helpful  answer for you and gave myself one.  See why I need help?

  • !!!!HELP!!!! Exporting project with clips still referencing from memory card - Final Cut Pro X

    I was working on a project recently (music video) where I had about 75 clips to cut up and edit, but my HD was too full to import all of the clips.
    The clips still added to an event and I was still able to drag them into the project and cut them up like any regularly imported clip, but now that the clips are all lined up and edited where I need them to be, Final Cut won't let me export the project to youtube or a master file because the clips are still "referencing" off of my memory card.
    Is there any way to bypass this or maybe import them and be able to not lose my edits or cuts?
    Thanks.
    - John

    FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!!!!!!
    In the event window, all of the clips that have the little camera icon on them, I highlighted and went to File >> Import >> Reimport from Camera/Archive. I had to do each clip individually which was annoying, but it worked.
    And most importantly, none of the clips were taken out of their place.
    Thanks for your input guys.

  • Where did my pics go ??? Transferred pics from memory card to Mac Pro and lost pics on memory card and unable to find on Mac

    where did my pics go. Transferred 40-50- pic from camera memory card to Mac via  slot; lost pics on memory card and unable to find anywhere in Mac. May have gone to Open Office as Data . Is that possible and if so can I get pics back or if not so ,where could they be????

    First place to check is in the iPhoto library. If the images were imported there then they will be visible in the previews created.
    The physical location of image files in iPhoto is quite buried in folders within folders. So, if you want to copy them then select all of the ones needed from the previews and copy from iPhoto to a new location, preferably a new folder in the Pictures folder.
    The other app that might have transferred the files is Image Capture. It would download files from cards or cameras. Launch this app and look in the preferences to see the default location of transferred files.
