Importing footage from my canon hv30 video looks slow why?

Footage done in canon hv30 HD looks a bit slow audio is ok. I try putting case in none and it looks just a bit better. somebody?

This camera doesn't actually shoot 24fps. It shoots 24 over 60.
"You can change the camcorder's frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film." (From the Canon web site)
This means the tape is actually recording 29.97 with pulldown added to make up the difference.
Bottom line: the media is 29.97, what iMovie calls 30.

Can iMovie import footage from new Canon 5D Mark11

Hi all,
I've just purchased a Canon 5D mark11 and being just a still photographer I know very little about movie footage and how to handle it. Does anyone know if iMovie 08 can import movie footage from this new camera?
Regards,
Scott

I was also wondering whether iMovie might be usable for editing the footage off the Canon 5D mark11.
iMovie '08 may be able to edit the footage natively (i.e., again assuming the profiles are QT compatible). iMovie HD, on the other hand, will have to convert the files to your designated project type as part of the import process. In either case, I assume the files will automatically be stored in/be managed by iPhoto and be directly available to either application.
That depends on what you want to do in your edits. GarageBand (if you have or purchase iLife) will allow you to perform conversions, limited filters, and/or scale content as part of the re-compression process. MPEG Streamclip (free) offers most of the more advanced editing features (trimming; merging; converting; scaling; changing frame rates; adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation, and/or volume; etc.) of QT Pro (without spending the $30) but does not give you the audio/video layering, track level video scaling, masking, setting of poster frames, extractions/deletions at the track level, the adding of logos and/or watermarks, and other advanced features of QT Pro or Final Cut. My personal choice is to use both MPEG Streamclip, QT Pro and iMovie/Final Cut for their complementary capabilities. Again, what you need depends on what you need/want to do with your files.

Importing footage from a canon hf10 camcorder

hi, this is my first time on this forum...im having difficulty importing all the footage i have from my canon hf10. i have it plugged in but it tells me it cannot locat some firewire thing and that my system configuration may have chaged...im pretty computer illiterate and havent a clus what to do....i am using the new macbook pro and the final ut express 4 program. i would really really appreciate some help on this...thank you!!!!

Hello and welcome aboard the FCE forum,
You should use a USB cable and the _Log and Transfer_ FCE function. AVCHD is a different beast to Mini DV that requires firewire for transfer/capture and the _Log and Capture_ FCE fuction..
Try a search for hf10 on this forum, plenty of info.
Here's a start:

Can't Import HDV 24p with Canon HV30

So I have the common and very low budget Canon HV30 HDV Camcorder, which has the ability to shoot in 24p. The only options I have when importing footage from a tape in Pr are HDV or DV, even though the Sequence format is HDV 1080 24p. After importing, the clips are at the standard HDV 1080 60i instead. Is there a way to capture the footage with the correct frame rate, or do I have to do a pull down removal in After Effects? :(

"Not all of them offer a recording format that can do proper pulldown removal, though Josh. The Panasonic 24p mode is to be edited in a standard 30i preset. Only the 24pA mode offers a pulldown that can be properly removed for editing in a 24p preset."
Jim I know the difference between 24p and 24pa, sounds like Harm doesn't though explain it to him. All I was trying to get across is: Just because a dv tape can only record 60i doesn't mean you can get progressive frames from it.
I did a google search and there a ton of info about dv30 and 24p. The whole point of that camera is that it shoots 24p, it's cheap and a lot of indie people use it to shoot shorts and even features. There's whole websites about that camera because it can shoot 24p. Click below.

How do I import clips from my Canon XA10 at the BEST QUALITY

I recently purchased a Canon XA10 - I usually use a Canon 7D (where I use MPEG Stream Clip to convert all clips to Apple Pro Res 422)
When I attempt to "log and transfer" footage from the Canon XA10 - it seems to be importing the footage as Apple Pro Res, but the quality doesn't look HD and is super interlaced...
Is the footage from the camera just crap - or is there a better method to capture footage at a higher quality?
Please help!

You should see a difference when you switch formats. Try shooting at the highest quality setting, MXP and see the results.
It looks from the specs published on the Canon web site that you have a frame rate choice of 60i, recorded at 60i; 24p recorded at 24p; 24p recorded at 60i, or 30p recorded at 60i.
The frame rate you choose to work with would be up to you. It would be an aesthetic decision, or it could be guided by the frame rate of existing footage you might be working with.
There is nothing inherently wrong with interlaced material, you just need to work with it correctly.
A good rule of thumb is to edit in the format you have shot, then use Compressor to make the output in format you need to deliver.

FCE: Capturing footage from my Canon XL1

Got FCE and when capturing footage from my Canon XL1 I get the video however there is no audio!
Tried capturing footage via iMovies and works no problem!
Not sure if this has anything to do with it but I'm using a external mic. on my XL1 into one ch. on the audio inputs. Also scratch disks is on a external 1TB WD drive. Finally tried virtually all the set-ups on the 'easy set-up' but still no joy.
Can anyone throw me a life line on this one?!

sorry I should have made myself abit clearer.....when the tape is played back in my XL1 I can hear audio when my headphones are pluged into the camera also the camera has audio monitors which I can see movement verifying there is audio. However in FCE I don't see any audio level movement.
In terms of equip. I just have a external WD 1TB drive (USB), firewire cable for video camera and the USB cable for the keyboard & mouse.
Additional application: Flip video s/w (however had fce issue prior to installing this).

How do I import files from My Canon XF300 into FCPX

This is driving me mad, I am trying to import files from my Canon XF300 into FCPX I have tried everything but no sucess any help would be welcomed.

Is there a plugin for FCPX Ver 10.0.7, I found one for FCP 7 but that doesn't work. I also downloaded The Canon XF Utility but although this opens the clips from the camera I am unable to get the clips into FCPX.
Fred,
Sorry, I mis-spoke. I do have Canon Utility installed on my SL machine, but have used it mainly as a file review interface and as a backup utility. My MXF files are then brought in via Log & Transfer in FCP 7, which requires one of the plug-ins (and as you noted, does not work with FCPX).
In the majority of situations I'm ingesting on location to a MBP running Lion. In that case, I have the option of importing them either into FCP7 or FCPX.
A came across this hack for getting the Canon plug-in to install on SL. It looks straightforward but I haven't tried it, so if you do, proceed at your risk. As for me, my plans are to partition my drive later this month and boot from both 10.6 and 10.7 as necessary.
Good luck.

Importing Footage from Camera (Log and Capture)

I am importing footage from my camera onto FC. Now my laptop doesn't have nearly enough space to import all the footage, but I have an external HD with 500 GB which is more than enough. But when I press log and capture, it immediately takes up space on the computer. Is there a way to import the footage directly to the hard drive?
thanks.

In Final Cut Pro, go to the menu Final Cut Pro > System Settings.
When the System Settings Pane opens, on the Scratch Disks Tab, you can deselect your system disk and select your external drive as the location for the media you are using. You need to deselect the system drive, not just add your external. When done, click OK. Any media you have already transferred to the system disk will still be available for use in the edit, this will direct FC to use your external as the media storage device from this point forward.
Your external drive should be connected to your computer via firewire or esata, USB (other than USB3) is not recommend for video work, and may give you performance issues.

How do i import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

How do I import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

Problem Importing Footage From a DVD

I had posted a question about a week ago asking how to import footage from a DVD into FCE. Per Tom Wolsky's suggestion -- thank you very much-- I connected my DVD player to an analog/digital converter in order to capture my video material. Although FCE is recognizing the DVD player (evident by the fact that when I click "capture" the video is displayed in the capture window ), however, FCE won't actually capture the video when I click "capture now".
When the "capture now" window pops up it displays the message: "Waiting for time code. Device must be in VTR mode when device control is enabled." I can't figure out how how to correct. It seems that I'm only one step away from my objective of capturing the DVD. Would appreciate any guidance to get me over this final hurdle. Thanks.

Yes. ANY time you want to capture from a non-timecoded or non-controllable source, use that setting.

How do I Import footage from Premier Pro CS3 to After Effects?

Hi
As the subject says, how do I import footage from premier pro cs3 into after effects. I'm getting rather frustrated trying to figure this out.
Via copy & paste I can copy into after effects but this copys the whole of the track on the timeline, where as I just want 10 seconds copied. The 10 seconds I want to copy is a segment & was highlighted when I clicked copy.
Also when the full track gets copied, all my edits aren't copied & I get the raw track copied???
I've googled this, tried the "Add Dynamic Link" but all I want is to copy 10 seconds of footage from premier into after effects, add my effect & then copy it back, and I can't figure out how to do this simple thing
Any help
Thanks.

I am still not getting this.
I highlight the selection I want to copy into after effects. I copy & paste it & it pastes my entire footage without any off the edits I have made.
Having searched loads for this I can find no other answer than copy & paste.
Please please could you guy be more specific with your answers as I just can't figure this one?

the screen shot does not display (a Forum bug ) and if it did it does not answer the questions
Seriously we can not see you and if you refuse to answer simple questions we can not help
Need information to help
what version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.8 as you state correct for the OS? Has it ever worked? What has changed since it worked? Will Image Capture ( in your applications folder) import the photos? How are you importing - USB to the camera? USB card reader? built in card reader?
Any other clues that would help a total stranger who can not see you or your computer assist you?
