Importing From Canon Vixia HF M30 to Final Cut Pro

Hey there, I have been trying to import to final cut with some success. Importing From Canon Vixia HF M30 from my sd card.
I used the easy setup.
FORMAT HD
USE HDV APPLE INTERMEDIATE CODEC 1080I60
I go to log and transfer select the clips I need and click add to que.
So perfect there are my clips in my bin, I bring them to my timeline and a green line appears above my video, uugggggh. I know this is a rendering issue but why.
Please help does anyone know why this is happening.
This is very frustrating, I have been trying to read the other discussions I didn't see anything on it let alone the info on the net, trying different things just not working for me.
Thanks Gang

Your camera records AVCHD. Convert to prores 422 or prores 422(LT) on log and transfer and make sure your sequence matchs your footage.

  • Will Canon Vixia HF20 work with Final Cut Pro 5?

    Hello,
    Just bought a new Canon vixia HF20, and heard that it doesn't work with Final Cut Pro 5, only six. Is this true?
    Also? Whats the first step in importing from this camera if it does work?

    iMovie saves the footage inside its project file.
    Right click the icon, choose "Show Package Contents".
    Open the Contents folder -the footage is in the Media subfolder.
    Can you bring it into FCP?
    Dunno. Give it a try.
    If that does not work iMovie has various export options.

  • Canon Vixia HF100 24p and Final Cut Pro 7

    Hello all,
    Just got the HF100 and Final Cut Pro 7. New to both. My plan is to shoot everything at 1920x1080 @24p. I've heard though, that the 24p on this camera has 3/2 inserted to make it 60i. My goal is to remove the 3/2 and do all editing and fx at 24p so I can have a universal master that I can then convert to various formats (Bu-Ray, DVD, web, etc., but will not ever go to tape). What is a good workflow/settings for this? Also one possible concern is disk space (so multiple codec suggestions would be great), but may be able overcome disk space if necessary. Again, I'm completely new to final cut (I do have some post experience, but am clueless to final cut right now). A long question, I know. Thank you in advance.

    ebrunoski,
    Welcome to FCP 7 and to Canon AVCHD camcorders. I was in your shoes a couple of weeks ago, as I have a Canon HF11 and FCS 3 myself.
    I also try to film and edit everything in 24p with my Canon and my recommendation would be to do exactly as suggested in this Apple tutorial and using Compressor:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2410
    What it essentially teaches you is to (1) log and transfer your Canon 24p wrapped in 60i files, (2) make them "true" 24p in Compressor, and (3) use them back in FCP 7. Once the files have been compressed into 24p you can get rid of the ones you had logged and transferred in their 60i wrappers and use only the resulting 24p files.
    Yes, it's an extra step in the process, but it's one efficient way of doing it.
    Works for me!

  • I own a Canon Vixia hf s200 and final cut pro 7. How do I convert my video?

    As this will show you, I am not very good with computers...
    When I open final cut pro it asks me to choose my sequence settings. Which one should I choose?
    It has settings such as DV50 NTSC 48Kh but I have no idea what that stands for.
    Also, I have the iSky video converter and I convert it to final cut pro but does it matter how high of quality I make it?
    The video goes in, but it always tells me that it does not match my settings and asks me if I'd like to change it but when I do, it goes a little screwie.
    Thank you so much for the help!

    That camera records either MPEG-4 files or AVCHD. Which did you shoot?

  • Can I import .MTS files from an external hard drive into Final Cut Pro X?

    Can I import .MTS files from an external hard drive into Final Cut Pro X?

    b) Use an utility like Clipwrap or MPEG Streamclip to convert the mts file to a quicktime (mov) file
    Luis,
    Just to clarify one point…in order for Streamclip to convert the MTS I believe a plug-in like the AVCCAM QuickTime importer from Panasonic needs to be installed. (Credit David McClain over at the FCS boards for that info.)

  • Canon Vixia HG20 okay for Final Cut editing?

    Anybody know if it's a problem to take footage off a Canon Vixia HG20 and start editing in Final Cut? I normally import my minidv footage through firewire on another camera but was interested in this particular camera. Not sure how it'll change my workflow so I figured I'd check with the pros!

    That's an AVCHD camera so you need an Intel Mac and Final Cut Pro 6.0.5. You would then use FCP's Log & Transfer function to transcode to Pro Res or Apple Intermediate Codec.
    To use this format on a G5, you would have to get a copy of Voltaic.
    Transcoding would take around 20 hours for each hour of video.

  • Canon EOS 7-D/Workflow Final cut Pro questions.

    Today i just upgraded my final cut pro from 5 to the latest 7.0.3, and im having trouble viewing my clips.
    First off, im very confused.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=3249
    i read this entire article and still cant view my clip in the timeline. Here's what im doing.
    I plugged in my card into a card reader,
    next i opened final cut pro, and i opened up log and transfer.
    my clips are all there, and i can preview them all.
    Step 3 is what confuses me.
    3. In the Import Preferences window, select 'Canon DSLR' as your Source, and then select the Transcode to format of your choice (such as ProRes 422).
    when i open up my settings/preferences in the log/transfer settings i cant seem to find "canon dslr, or how to make it my "source".
    instead, i see AVCHD PLugin, P2 PLug in, MPEG2 Consumer Cameras, and Canon E1. i selected the Obvious Canon E1 (because thats the plug in you download) and when i added it to the queue it finished and i am still unable to see it in the right window. There's audio but the screen is white.
    So the burning questions i have..
    What am i doing wrong?
    What do you use for your easy format or custom format?

    First don't use Final Cut to import directly from the card. Use Disc Utility to make a new image of the card from your card reader onto a hard drive. Make a back up copy of this by dragging it to another drive if possible. Now if anything goes wrong you are secure. Open one of these disk images and log and transfer from them with FCP.
    You do this by opening log and transfer window. Use the top left button in the window to point to the files. On the other side of the left pane at the top open preferences, select the Canon E1 but then double click the little arrows which should open another window and offer a selection of versions of ProRes, choose Apple ProRes or ProRes LT, anything higher is overkill. Select the files you want and add them to the import queue. They should start importing automatically. You should be able to see files appearing in logging bin progressively. Whilst the import is happening do not touch anything else in FCP, allow the whole import to finish before playing with them.

  • Imac 27" . Canopus advc55 firewire in from SVHS tape. Either crashes Final Cut Pro X or has gaps in transfer when sync lost between camera shots.

    I have been trying for a few days to dump my SVHS camera tapes to Final Cut Pro X. Using the Canopus ADVC55 encoder fed from a Panasonic SVHS video deck into iMac firewire. The picture appears on screen but will not save as an archive atall. Trying to import into an event has a little more success. When it comes across a section of tape between camera shots without sync it either crashes Final Cut or randomly picks up the replay later or trims the shots down by about a minute. Not sure what to do to let to allow it to import a tape complete with blank sections. I have a Panasonic SVHS deck with timebase correction on output, would this help maintain a constant sync signal for the ADVC55 and final cut pro? Very frustrating just trying to dump videos to digital.

    Footnote to this problem. Put a Panasonic WJ-EV5 video mixer inline between deck and Canopus ADVC55 and this maintains the sync for perfect copies. If the red light on the ADVC55 comes on during the import to event sync has been lost and FCPX crashes or aborts the copy in various ways with unpredictable files.
    The import to archive still will not store the data.
    Maybe Final Cut authors can explain why import to event works but import to archive does not.

  • Does Canon XF100 work well with Final Cut Pro

    Does the Canon XF 100 work well with Final Cut Pro 7.03

    I have read the information about this camera and I have looked at several discussion groups.  Apparently you cannot edit in native format with this camera. This has been confirmed to me by a Canon rep.  You have to bring in footage thru log and transfer which means it takes more time as it converts.  I have never had to do this before.  Because I have always imported thru log and capture.  So because I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if they are using the camera and if it works well inspite of it.  Or anyone has a better camera recommendation but in the price range of the XF100.
    Thanks,

  • How can I import my xdcam files (Sony PMW200) into final cut pro

    Hi.
    I just got a Sony PMW200 but cannot figure how to import files into Final Cut Pro 6. I copied the SXS cards to my hard drive and am trying to figure out how to import it into Final Cut.
    I would really appreciate a little help.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi:
    If you own the material rights, you can use MPEG Streamclip to reencode to an editable format like DV.
    Hope that helps !

  • How do I import avchd sony cx700 camcorder footage into Final Cut Pro?

    I've recently bought a Sony CX700 camcorder, but can't transfer the footage using the Log and Transfer window. Does anybody know how to import AVCHD footage into Final Cut Pro?

    You use the log and transfer function.

  • Why can't I use HD video from my Samsung Galaxy S2 in Final Cut Pro 6?

    My Samsung Galaxy S2 shoots gorgeous 1080P HD Video.  It has no trouble importing into iPhoto, but when I want to edit in Final Cut Pro 6, it won't accept the file.  Anyone know how I can fix this?  Thanks.

    FCP doesn't edit the format the camera shoots. You need to convert the video files to ProRes...then import into FCP.
    If you want an app that edits formats natively, look at Adobe Premiere CS5.5.

  • Canon MVX460 (PAL) and latest Final Cut PRO HD capturing

    Imac intel 20' with final cut pro HD latest update
    Canon MVX460 is told to have a native 16:9 CCD. So I can imagine that pixel aspect ratio is 16:9. The problem is that Final Cut doesn't have any capture option for DV PAL 16:9 standard pixel aspect ratio or frame size, the only thing I've tryed is to capture in anamorphic but having native 16:9 images this is a useless quality loss... Nobody at canon technical service can tell me which is MVX460 frame size, but they were pretty sure about the 16:9 pixel aspect ratio... How can I set it to capture correcly the image without using anamorphic pixel ratio?
    Thank you!

    Thank you! so you say anyway it's anamorphic, I'm figuring it out working on my material!... by the way I use 5.1 FCP
    The second issue is: I capture anamorphic (DV codec setting set to 16:9 am I right?) I use sequence setting anamorphic (DV codec 16:9)... if I open raw captured material with QT... it shows correct 16:9 view.
    BUT when I export it using same sequence setting (and even changing them to 4:3, not anamorphic or whatever) the exported video doesn't play 16:9 in QT but it plays squeezed... the other option is to edit the sequence letterboxed and export it letterboxed... but I loose too much quality.
    If I export it let's say XVID and open it with VLC I can choose the aspect ratio so anamorphic is not a problem.
    My question: why does QT read perfectly the raw material anamorphic but it doesn't automatically read the exported anamorphic?
    AND: is there a way to manually set QT aspect ratio?
    thanks a lot!

  • Is it possible to remove phone ring from piano recital video clip in Final Cut Pro?

    Hi.
    I edit  all videos in Final Cut Pro. My last video clip is a piano recital. And  there is a phone rining during biutiful piano performance. Anybody knows how to remove it without removing  this part of music?

    Looks like you're using FCPX so this is the wrong forum, pop over to the FCPX forum and ask there, although I think the answer will be, always keep phones on silent at piano recitals.
