Importing footage problem.

Alright, I have a mac book and, final cut express 4 and a canon vixia hv30 for some reason, my final cut express 4 cannot pick up my canon vixia hv30, but my imovie can, the thing is, I'd like to do all my work in final cut express 4 because I can do more. how can I set it up so my footage will go directly to final cut express 4?

You're going to have to help us out here. We can't see your camera or your computer or what you're doing. You haven't even said where you are. Without some information there's nothing we can do except guess. You can't even say if there are any other devices connected to your computer? Really? You can't even tell us that?

  • Canon HF200 with FCP - importing footage problems

    I apologise first if this is a common problem but I have searched away with no avail. I cant get the footage off this Canon HF200 I have been given to use...
    In the log and transfer window if I try to drag the mounted camera drive into the window (or any of the files within) I get the error:
    "BDMV" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    If I try to add the mounted disk on the log and capture widow - it does not allow me to select the disk. I am using the HF200 plugged in as opposed to just the SDHC card...
    Any ideas? FCP 7

    thanks for your response...what happened was when I went to add volume - then select the mounted Camera/Card I could click on the drive but then the selector would 'pop-off' and jump to another drive...strange behaviour
    I switched SDHC cards in the camera and the other card I have - when I open Log and Transfer - simply crashes FCP. If I eject the disk and re-open FCP and Log and Transfer - it doesnt crash and I can scroll thru available volumes...
    Having re-entered the first SDHC card - I can now open Log and capture and select the NO NAME volume - it very briefly thought about it (in the process box below) and then nothing happened and it didnt accept....
    I just updated using software update also...

  • Problem importing footage in AECC

    Hi, i'm running AECC in a PC, and when i import footage i can't view the image but the audio works fine. But if i import the same footage in CS5.5 works fine i can see the audio and video and everything it's ok. Help please!, Thanks

    Version of AE including the point number??? OS version?? Kind of footage?
    There have been some changes in the codecs that have caused some problems. Without details on your system I can only guess that your software is not up to date or that your source footage is a non-standard codec, or that you have installed some 3rd party software or drivers that are conflicting with QuickTime or other video software on your system.

  • An odd problem importing footage...ideas please!!

    I'm having an odd problem with iMovie that has me stumped so far. I'm currently using a borrowed DVcamcorder to import my footage. So far I can only import footage that was taped using that exact camcorder. I have other footage, (also miniDV format) that was created on a different camera, and it won't import properly. It comes out very jumpy, almost as if the frame rate is off or it's not scanning the fields properly, playing only every other one. The camera also gives me a "clean heads" message that only appears when I try to use the "foreign" video. The heads don't need cleaning, and I've checked the frame rate. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm lost so far!!
    I'm using an iMac G5, with iMovie HD.
    Thank-you!

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions!
    It may be that the "foreign" tape (..i.e; not recorded in that camcorder you're using..) was recorded at LP (Long Play) - a slow tape speed - or even slower than LP.
    This makes recordings on extremely narrow video tracks (..because the tape hardly moves forwards while the spinning recording head turns round..) which may not quite co-incide with the exact head position of another camcorder ..i.e; the tolerance is too fine to match properly.
    Most manufacturers mention this ..in very obscure language.. in their camcorder manuals, saying that LP tapes from other camcorders might not play properly, or tapes recorded in LP mode might not play in other camcorders.
    Most (all?) Sony DV camcorders will play back footage recorded faster than normal, on 'professional' 'DVCAM' recorders. These tapes move faster through the camera than ordinary DV, so they produce a wider track which is less likely to cause signal 'drop-out' failure. I don't know if other makes of camcorder can play back DVCAM material.
    If the "foreign" tapes were shot at DVCAM speed (..e.g; on a Sony PDX10 camcorder, or similar), then although they should play back in other, normal 'domestic' Sony cams, they might not play back in another make of camcorder. Could these be DVCAM tapes?
    Finally, it might also be that the "foreign" tape really is a Foreign tape: i.e; the recording was made to a different standard. So if it's an American-recorded (NTSC) tape and it's played in a UK (PAL TV system) camcorder, the frame-rate will be wrong, the number of scan-lines will be wrong, the colour info will be wrong, etc. [..But as you mention "fields", you probably know enough not to have made that mistake.]
    NOTE: Ooops, sorry, Karl: we must have both been typing at the same time ..didn't mean to step on your toes.

  • Problems importing footage

    I've been using Cineform AVI files in Premiere for many years, and now, switching from CS6 to CC, I'm having trouble importing footage. It seems almost random, but it clearly isn't.
    When attempting to import a bunch of files into a project, some of the files are rejected by Premiere CC as being "damaged or unsupported". Those same files do import without issues when a try importing them into a project in CS6.
    What makes CC so much more finicky than CS6?
    Is there a way to resolve this?
    This is quite a major issue, as I'm rtying to import the footage for a feature. That's a lot of footage, and too much of it is rejected by Premiere CC, and there is not even a way to export the list of files that were not imported.
    This really needs to be figured out.
    I'd include an example file, but those are quite large.
    please advise.
    Thanks,

    While asking here might get you some help (if anyone HAS any help to offer) you also need to send Adobe a bug report

    Have you checked with Cineform to see if they have an update for CC?

  • 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.

  • Problem importing footage

    I am using a Canon GL2 to import footage via firewire into FCP6 on my Macbook Pro. The imported clips have a horizontal line running from bottom to top of the screen. Anyone have any ideas on why this would happen?
    Thanks in advance!

    It's a horizontal line from the left to the right of the screen that scrolls vertically from bottom to top...like an AC hum bar. It's not drop out, not black...it's just a line that runs through the video.
    The master tape is fine, it only shows up in the clip after it has been captured. I see it in the log and capture window, the viewer, and the canvas.

  • Suddenly can't import footage, and already done projects give me a media offline message importer is missing. Help... anyone?

  • OneStep: cant find imported footage (folder location of captured data)

    Hi,
    I have used oneStep to create a DVD, after it automatically imported the footage from my camera, I accidentally pressed 'cancel' durring the compression process, and it stoped. Now I want to recover my imported footage (about 1 hr of dv). Problem: I have no clue where the data is! I checked /tmp and its not there! I have about 20GB less disk space on my drive now, but I can't seem to recover the file or free up the space! I'm not even sure what I would search for!
    Anyone have an idea?
    Saul.

    I had the same problem. I found the file using a freeware program you can download here called "What size"
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21149
    I found the file under the private section in a temp file. I hope this helps.

  • Imported Footage in now a green screen

    Using Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 on a Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3 system.  Imported footage into FCP is now showing in the Viewer as a green screen.  Also, I cannot import new footage now thru "Import - Sony XD Cam."  System was working fine thru 2013 and was powered down and not used for two weeks.  Powered up and Compressor had issues and now FCP.  Any thoughts?

    I found a thread that answered this problem which many are dealing with.  Try the Perian downloads below.  It did the trick for me. THANKS MAK!
    I also had a similar problem to most people here. Cannot playback XDCAM files after upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I called Apple who suggested a fresh install of Snow Leopard without upgrading the 'ProApps QuickTime Codecs 1.0.3' and copy the contents of the Library/QuickTime form the fresh install into my QT library. However, I decided to seek the file(s) that is the cause which is the AppleHDV.Component file. I copied the faulty one to my desktop (so I had a backup) and downloaed:
    PerianXDCam.component.zip -> PerianXDCam.component
    PerianHDV.component.zip -> PerianHDV.component
    from this website: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/mcfa0086/discretecosine/164630.html
    Once unzipped, copy into the Library/QuickTime folder and this should solve your problem, until Apple and Sony resolve this issue.
    Good Luck,
    MAK

  • Why did FCP start crashing everytime I import footage?

    In the past - on similar threads - folks have suggested (a) opening in Safe Mode. (b) Creating a new Guest User account. (you created a new (renamed) Admin Account. Both prevent Login or startup items from loading, amoung other self-installed options - I think ???   What other things happened?  Would you check to see if your startup items changed, etc.? How about posting any NEW Console messages that were created when you created this new account? Would you mind looking at your activity monitor and post what is now different, etc.?
      In other words - HOW did what you did solve your specific problem?  How do you think that your problem originated?
    I'd really appreciate any input here aside from your opinions about the dynamics of this user to user forum - I just don't care about that part, sorry.
    I am glad that you solved your problem, please share how.

  • Trouble Importing Footage

    Hi there, I have a question that has been bothering me for quite a while now.
    I own a Sony HDR-FX7 HD/DV Camera with worked well with the old-generation MacBook Pro (2008). I had no problems importing footage from the tape to FCE via Firewire 300 when I set it to the right import settings in easy setup.
    However I bought the new Macbook Pro, which doesn't feature a Firewire 300 slot, but a Firewire 800.
    I bought a firewire 800->DV cable, the camera went funny and permaenntly switched from DVin to DVout and back. Then I bought an Expresscard 34, with Firewire 300 Slots. Now the camera recognises the computer but Shows DVin, instead of DVout. The computer however doesn't recognize the camera. In some cases, the whole mac ended up freezing.
    So here's my question: How do I manage to import footage on FCE again.
    I am very grateful for answers.

    Hi (Bonjour)!
    There should be a reset parametters button on the camcorder. On the FX1, it's located on the control panel on the handle.

  • How to view timecodes on imported footage

    I'm new to Imovie and need to view the timecodes on the footage i've imported to know where to edit. Can't seem to figure out how to get this to show up. Anybody know how?
    Thanks!

    You can use these files, but the first time you open them in iMovie 09, they will be upgraded so they will no longer work in iMOvie 08. New cache and thumbnails files will be created.
    It is probably not working now because, for performance reasons, iMovie 09 will not work with a network drive. There are workarounds involving symbolic links. But you still have to deal with the performance issue.
    So, do you want these files to still work in iMovie 08?
    *If no...*
    Simple drag and drop these Event Folders to a locally attached external drive that is formatted as MacOS Extended (journaled). They should be placed in a folder called iMovie Events at the top level of the drive. Attach this drive to the computer with iMovie 09, and start iMovie 09.
    Note: You could also move these files to your internal hard drive if you have plenty of room. In this case, they go in the Movies/iMovie Events folder.
    *if yes..*.
    Attach a properly formatted external drive to the computer with iMovie 08. In the finder, copy (not move) the Event folders to folder named "iMovie Events" at the top level of the drive.
    Also, if you have created projects from your imported footage (the events), and you want to port your projects to iMovie 09, it gets a little more complicated. Let me know.
