Importation problem using Canopus-55 DV converter

I bought my mac with Panther and upgraded it recently to Tiger. Initially, I had no problem importing HI8 video from a 8 year old sony camera (following Tiger upgrade). I have created 9 DVD of family video without any problems with the little Canopus converter. I have just ugraded to iLife '06 and now importation (both sound and video) is very jerky. The status light from the converter flickers all the time back to red which was never happening before. I have 30 Gb left on my hard disk so I don't think it is the issue.
Help/suggestion most welcome thank you.

I also forgot to say that this chronic audio/video hiccuping also happens just watching the video on the iMac without actually importing it...hence, most likely no a problem of slow HD...

  • Problem using canopus advc55 as a source for photoshop/premiere elements 13?

    I have installed photoshop elements 13 on an imac yosemite.
    I have been using canopus advc55 as a digital video convertor to transfer vhs videos to digital.
    It works with imovie.
    However elements 13 does not recognise advc 55 as a source.
    Can anyone advise whether this is possible or not.

  • Importing problems using imovie6 & sony fx7

    I am using imovie HD 6 & cannot import video from my Sony HDV (HDR-FX7). I can control the camera using imovie, I can watch the footage on my camera's screen, but when I hit "IMPORT" the camera just plays the footage & nothing appears on my computer screen. I have all the latest software updates. The camera is able to be found in firewire port in system profiler. I have plugged & unplugged & restarted everything multiple times. The camera is set on the VCR mode. But still imovie won't capture my footage!

    thanks for the ideas. I have similar problem, but so far nothing has happened besides switching on the I.Link conv feature off my camera. That allowed the picutre to be played in the iMovie display. But not in the clip box, or in the iMovie panel. Clips download, but the image is blank. The clip boxes show the time of each clip, but it goes to 0.00.00 after the third clip is downloaded, or after we attempt to activate the clip for playing.
    My next attempt will involve reinstalling iLife '06, since I had removed Garage Band. Other discussions suggested to open Garage band and play a few notes on it, and this would make iDVD work.

  • Newbie import problems with Canopus ADVC300 - solid pink screen

    Plugged in the brand-new Canopus ADVC300 and connected up a Sony CCD-tr700 analog camcorder. Did all the recommended steps and pushed the start VTR button. Preview on both the Canopus Picture Controller software and the iMovie screen has good audio, but the video is a solid, non-moving screen of pepto-bismol pink.
    There's nothing in the very limited manual about what to do if the video doesn't appear after the four simple step instructions.
    Any suggestions from knowledgeable users will be GREATLY appreciated.

    Just an initial suggestion: did you remember to switch the Canopus to analogue input? It has a tendency to default to digital.

  • I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

    I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

    When clips won't play without rendering in the Timeline, it usually means that the clip's specs don't match the Sequence settings.
    A .mov file could be made from any number of codecs; the QuickTime Movie designation is merely a container for video files of all kinds.  Since FCE only works with the QuickTime DV codec and the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) natively, if your mov files aren't one of those two, you need to convert them PRIOR to importing into your FCE project.

  • Choosing a Video Format - Importing using an Analogue/FIrewire Converter

    I am importing video using a Canopus ADVC110 analogue video converter, and am not sure what the best format to import is. None of the documentation on either iMovie (or Final Cut for that matter) has mentioned what the precise differences are between all of the offered formats. Obviously HD doesn't apply here - but what would be the difference or advantage/disadvantage of importing in say DV-NTSC as opposed to MPEG-4 for example? Is there a reason why I would use one setting over another in this case? Any info would be appreciated.

    I am importing video using a Canopus ADVC110 analogue video converter, and am not sure what the best format to import is.
    The Canopus ADVC110 converts your analog input to DV which can be captured directly to any Apple editor and is a dedicated video editing format. Its primary disadvantage is that the captured files are generally much larger than MPEG-4 or H.264 files. The primary disadvantage to use of MPEG-4 would be having to convert already compatible files to the MPEG-4 compression format and the attendant potential for a loss in quality depending on the data rate/settings used for the re-compression.

    Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?

  • Problem Using DNG converter Vers 3.5

    Converted images from canon 1ds mark11 and Nikon d2xs and images only appear as large as thumbnaills from both cameras.I know the D2xs is not supported yet but this problem has now occured with the Canon, Any advice ?

    That doesn't work for me. I created the DNGs directly from the NEFs and CRWs using the 3.5 converter. I double-checked that all the settings were as per the Apple instructions.
    It's clearly a problem with the decoding of DNG files. With DNG version 3.4 and earlier, I get the proper size image, but no white balance information. With 3.5 I get the "as shot" white balance, but only the thumbnail. All versions of DNG open correctly in Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom (hardly surprising as it is an Adobe format).
    Fingers crossed that Aperture 1.5 and/or 10.4.8 will resolve this. However, I suspect that as long as camera RAW formats remain closed, proprietary, and even encrypted (à la the D2X) RAW decoding issues will remain for all vendors.

  • Problem using imported effects

    Hi I have a small problem using imported effects on after effects cs4
    Usually,  I can just import effects in quicktime format (such as from riot gear, or action essentials), and they have worked fine.
    But recently, after I had to copy these effects to a new computer, the 'frame' of the effect stays there.
    So for example, riot gear has an effect that in quick time appears as a white ink blot appearing on a black background.
    But when I import it into aftereffects and place it on, say, a red background, the black square background stays there (with the white ink still flowing properly)
    I've been working with after effects for several months, and think it might just be that its some copyright measure built in to prevent people from sharing the effects, but I'm probably overlooking something really stupid.
    Any suggestions at all? Thank you in advance.

    You use the word 'effects' throughout your post, but I'm pretty sure that what you're referring to aren't effects. See this page for information about what effects are.
    Because you're referring to items in "QuickTime format", you must be referring to footage items, by which I mean movie files imported into After Effects.
    If you're seeing white on a black background, but you expect to just see white without a black background, then either a) the movie has an alpha channel and you have After Effects set to ignore it or b) the movie is intended to be used as a track matte (specifically, a luma matte).
    I strongly recommend that you work through the materials here so that you can learn the basics and the standard terminology:

  • Not able to Import data using "clear and replace"

    Hi,
    If I import data using the data admin package "Import" and "Merge" as 'method for importing' the process runs without problems.

    Any suggestions?
    /Lars

    Hi,
    The "Replace & clear..." feature during data import depends on Work Status. So to use this functionality, you need to setup Work Status under your application. Notice that you need to setup Work Status even if you aren't selecting the option to check Work Status when running the package.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Problems with Capture Date when converting from PSE9

    I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem I'm having when converting my PSE9 catalog to LR3.4. Specifically, about 20% of my images (abouit 2,500 out of 12,000) didn't import with capture dates. I can clearly see the correct capture dates in PSE9 Organizer, but when I view the same imported images in LR3.4, there is no date. This occurs with dates that I've modified in PSE9 as well as dates straight out of the camera.
    This is a major problem for me because I'm used to organizing my photos in PSE9 using capture dates. On a related note, PSE9 allows you to set the capture date to a known year and unknown month, day, and time, but when imported into LR3, these dates are converted to Jan 01 of the known year. Sorry, but Jan 01 is not the same as unknown. Is there a way to correctly display unknown portions of a capture date in LR3 similar to the way it's displayed in PSE9?
    Sorry if this has been discussed before.

    How did you convert your catalog?  Did you use File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog, or did you use File > Import Photos?  You should use the former; the latter has many problems, among which PSE doesn't always correctly write medata (e.g. capture dates) into files. If you used File > Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog, post an image here and we can take a look at its metadata to troubleshoot.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    On a related note, PSE9 allows you to set the capture date to a known year and unknown month, day, and time, but when imported into LR3, these dates are converted to Jan 01 of the known year.
    Even though Adobe's XMP metadata standard allows for unknown month, day, or time, most programs including LR don't support it -- PSE is the only program I know of that does (and it has problems).  I use the conveniton of 1/1 12:00:00 to represent unknown values.
    See this FAQ for other issues with converting PSE catalogs to LR:

  • XML Premiere 5.5 to FCP7 Import problem

    I am working with an outside editor who did some edits for my company in Premiere 5.5.
    They're  tryng to supply me with a FCP7 compatible XML file for import into FCP7.
    Well I am able to convert the XML file in FCP7, but not all of the info is coming thropugh properly.
    The edit is a simple one...
    2 camera A/B talking head
    1 Main Audio track whihc is done as 4 audio (2 stereo) tracks in Premiere.
    The edit supplied to me comes through with the video being fine on 2 tracks.
    However, the audio track does not even show up in my timeline.  However it's there on his Premiere timeline.
    Any idea what might be the problem?
    I have supplied pics of both timelines for reference. 
    One is his Premiere timeline, the other is my FCP7 timeline after XML conversion.
    Premiere timeline with 2 videos tracks and 4 audio tracks.
    FCP7 timeline with 2 video tracks and only 2 audio tacks sowing up.
    Where is the other audio track.

    Jeff,
    Thanks for your advice, the use of the UT Video Codec Suite has been exceedingly helpful in capturing video. It has made 1080i capture much simpler.
    Unfortunately it has not solved my 720p import problems.
    I have played around with several different configurations. If I record 720p at 29.97 frames, the whole video imports without difficulty, but the sound is messed up. But when I try to import 720p video at 59.94 frames, Premiere Pro will only import the first couple of minutes of the video if the video is longer than 7 minutes.
    If you have any further advice, I would appreciate it.

  • Problems using drop down menus in safari v7

    I am having problems using drop down menus in safari v7. e.g. on the BMW used cars website (http://usedcars.bmw.co.uk), there's a drop down box for location. This only goes up to 50 miles on my macbook but goes up to national on my iPad. Any ideas?

    Thanks Peter, Dale. Looks like it is back to the drawing board for me then!
    I tried to import it through MS Word but iPad doesn't support the document.  Looking into converting document into a Numbers spreadsheet as it has drop down boxes but unfortunately need to buy the £6.99 numbers app for iPad to make it worthwhile.
