Importing Mov. Files and Converting to Prores

Hello everyone. I just purchased the Canon 5D Mark 3. I'm new to DSLR's. I'm not sure how to import and convert my footage to Apple's Prores files. I'm curious if there is a thread that will explain the process to import and convert the footage. To put things in perspective my last camera was a mini dv. Sony FX1. So I have been importing footage via firewire for a while now. Kinda lost since the world of Video has changed. Thanks for any and all help, advice, links and otherwise.

This is the typical tapeless workflow for FCP...including Canon 5D.  But, not sure it works for the Mark III...worth a shot:

If that won't do it...then use Compressor to convert to ProRes.  Or MPEG STREAMCLIP...or 5DtoRGB (that one takes a long time)

  • PPro CS4 - imported .mov file and video playback is jerky

    Hi all.
    I have imported a Quicktime .mov file into a standard sequence. The audio plays back fine but the video is very jerky.
    I did an 'interpret footage' on the clip and see it's at a frame rate of 1.2480.
    How can I get this file to play correctly in a PPro sequence at 29.97 FPS?
    Help! My deadline is getting close.
    Thanks.
    Keith

    Thanks Bill.
    Here's what I could find... I hope it means more to you that to me!!! I see that the average frame rate is 13.58. If I interpret footage and use that rate, 30 second commercial plays in about 5 seconds.
    Thanks for the help.

  • SonicStage/Atrac3 files--How do I import these files and convert them??

    This is my problem.
    I used to have SonicStage, I no longer do, but I found some of my old CDs that I made using that program, but the atrac3 files(I believe that's what they're called) aren't compatible with Mac, so now what do I do? I've never converted anything in my life, are there any apps I could download that will rip the unreadable files from my old CDs and convert them into usable mp3 (or whatever) files?
    This is all very foreign to me and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Importing CSV file and converting to an Array

    Hi all,
    I'm working on a site that is importing a published CSV (comma seperated values) via actionscript 3.0 URLloader().  Right now I'm just trying to get actionscript to successfully input the imported data from the CSV into an Array, so the CSV file has only 1 cell which contains "athleticMaroon,charcoal,colonialBlue,kellyGreen,fullColor".
    Here's the code I'm using:
    //create new array
    var shirtLiveIntense_btn_Colors:Array=new Array();
    //run CSV data import
    URLLoaderCSV();
    shirtLiveIntense_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, selectingLogo);
    function selectingLogo(e:MouseEvent):void{
              trace ("logo selected");
              var colorButtons:Array=this[e.currentTarget.name+"_Colors"];
              for (var i:uint=0; i<colorButtons.length; i++) {
                        colorButtons[i].ivar=i;
                        colorButtons[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, shirtColorOption);
    //CSV data import function
    function URLLoaderCSV() {
                var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
                configureListeners(loader);
                var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0AlJnOKOffTSxdFk0RVlEUTVHeF9 DMHZfZ0JzSkJjZFE&single=true&gid=1&output=csv");
                try {
                    loader.load(request);
                } catch (error:Error) {
                    trace("Unable to load requested document.");
    function configureListeners(dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):void {
                dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
                dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.OPEN, openHandler);
                dispatcher.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
                dispatcher.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler);
                dispatcher.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, httpStatusHandler);
                dispatcher.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
    function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
                var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
                trace("completeHandler: " + loader.data);
                                  shirtLiveIntense_btn_Colors.push(loader.data);
    function openHandler(event:Event):void {
                trace("openHandler: " + event);

                trace("httpStatusHandler: " + event);
    function ioErrorHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
                trace("ioErrorHandler: " + event);
    Here is the output:
    openHandler: [Event type="open" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
    progressHandler loaded:57 total: 0
    httpStatusHandler: [HTTPStatusEvent type="httpStatus" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 status=200]

    logo selected
    ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property ivar on String.
              at main_fla::MainTimeline/selectingLogo()
    Examining the output results, I see it is clearly loading the data from the CSV file correctly, but what I think it's doing is importing the data as one string, aka "athleticMaroon,charcoal,colonialBlue,kellyGreen,fullColor", and pushing it to shirtLiveIntense_btn_Colors:Array=new Array().  But, as I see from the error, function selectingLogo(e:MouseEvent) can't process the array because it contains a string.
    If I switch out shirtLiveIntense_btn_Colors.push(loader.data); with shirtLiveIntense_btn_Colors.push(athleticMaroon,charcoal,colonialBlue,kellyGreen,fullColor);, everything works like a charm, but I need the array to be assigned from the dynamic data in the CSV file.
    Can anyone lend a hand in getting the imported stringed CSV data pushed to an accessable array?
    Thanks!

    Thanks kglad for the reply.
    I substituted shirtLiveIntense_btn_Colors.push(loader.data); for shirtLiveIntense_btn_Colors=loader.data.split(","); like you suggested, but I still got the same output:
    openHandler: [Event type="open" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]

    I also tried shirtLiveIntense_btn_Colors.push(loader.data.split(",")); and it gave me the following output instead:

    progressHandler loaded:57 total: 0

  • No video (black), audio only, from imported .mov files

    Bear with me while I explain the whole process to get where I am, which is that in FCE, I am importing .mov files and they are completely black, no video, just audio.  When I bring a clip into the timeline and try to render even a small clip, it is still black.
    I'm not well-versed in video so please bear with me:
    Steps:
    1.  I received large video files from a videographer
    2.  the large files could not be imported or played in FCE
    3.  downloaded HandBrake converter and began converting files.  Kept them at the same size, but they were then renamed .mov files.
    4.  When I open them in QuickTime, they are black - no video.  But when I see them on the drive and press spacebar in 'finder' to play them, I can see the video.
    5.  When I import them into FCE they are black - no video - just audio.
    FCE is currently set (in Easy Setup) to:  AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920-1080i60
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I tried converting one file to mp4 and it works fine in FCE, but this takes a long, long time to convert.
    thanks
    There is a 2nd issue that may relate to this:  I am trying to import JVC .m4v files and I am getting "File error 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unkown".  These files CAN be opened in Quicktime.
    FCE HD 4.0.1
    Mac OS 10.6.8

    I'm having similar, but slightlly different issues.
    I have been using FCE 4 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 with Quicktime 10.1 (501.29).
    I convert my footage in Mpeg Streamclip (GREAT free program) and set the files to the Apple Intermediate Codec.  This makes them work really well in my timeline and I don't have rendering issues or problems.
    So, my problem comes when I File/Export/Quictime Movie.
    The original file plays fine, but they're 2-3 gbs each, so I put them into Quicktime to convert them to a webfriendly size, but every single time they come out as an audio only file.  GRRRR!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Maybe I'm missing something stupid.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    Sincerely,

  • Importing .MOV files from PC and getting "generic error" msgs... help.

    Importing .mov files which I downloaded from my iPhone onto my PC (so getting them from file folder, not directly from iPhone). However, getting "importer is reporting generic error" message with a list of video files that didn't get imported. Some are importing, though, and showing up on the timeline. Downloaded a whole bunch at a time and thought it was the problem. Then just tried one that had the error to test and that one wouldn't either, even by itself.
    These are MOV files from iPhone 4 recorded with "stock" camera program on phone. Using Premiere Elements 11.
    Please help.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Along with Steve's questions, I have one more:
    Did your iPhone shoot with a Variable Frame Rate?
    That is common with many of the phone cameras, and especially the iPhones. You can run your file through MediaInfo (for PC), or Media Inspector (for Mac), and then report the FPS (Frames Per Second). If it is constant, it should Import fine. If it is variable, then you might have to convert that to a Fixed Frame Rate. One method is to use Apple's QuickTime Pro (a US $30 upgrade/unlock), and just Import the file into QT Pro, then Export to the same format, but with a Fixed Frames Per Second.
    Good luck, and please let us know a bit more.

    First of all, Hunt--thanks for responding!
    "First, where are you playing the MPEG-2, that you see that jitter?"
    On both a MacBook Pro, an Acer laptop and my Mac Tower. I would love to think that it is a problem with the playback system, and that if I merely send the file off to the duplicator they won't have the same problem. Maybe that is the case...I don't know if I have a choice rather than sending it off to see. But it happens in the same spots, in the same way, on all three of the players so I'm a little reluctant to have faith.
    "Another thing that can cause jitter in an MPEG-2 is the Bit-Rate - higher the Bit-Rate, the better the quality, but the larger the file. For a DVD, one is limited by the total Bit-Rate (both Audio & Video), but with longer prodcutions, some users choose too low a Bit-Rate. If this is the issue, one would need to go back to the original Project and do a new Export/Share."
    Of course, but in the case there is no more 'original project.' It is gone like the wind, stolen along with his computer and backups.
    I think I am stuck using one of two files as my master: a DVD he burned where I only see the stutter/vibration/jitter once, or the mpeg2 file where I see it three times. Hopefully, the duplication house can rip if off of one of them and not see the jitter. I know that in audio, my personal filed, you can do a lot to enhance already existing sound--EQ, compression, tape saturation emulation software, etc. I guess I'm hoping there is some kind of analog to the video world that address jitter after a source has been printed--if indeed the source has been printed to be jittery.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    I tried to get background information on the video from your camera but all I could find so far is that the camera is probably recording

    How are you importing the files into the Premiere Elements 13 project - with the Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from a computer
    hard drive location or are you making a USB connection between the camera and computer/Premiere Elements 13 and using Add Media/Video ..../Video Importer? Could you possibly have changed the way you are importing the files into a project?
    Would it be possible for you to send a small sample of one of these .mov files that will no longer import? Maybe in a Dropbox link that you include in a reply?
    Do you have any of the older files still available - the ones that did import at one time? If so, will they still import into a project or do they now not import?
    More later.

  • How to Import .MOV files in Adobe After Effects, I am Using Canon 700d for FilmShooting

    Hello,
    I have Just brought a canon 700d and started Shooting HD Movies but now i want to add some effects in my video E.G. Twixtor effect for slow motion but I am facing a problem that i cannot import .MOV file in Adobe AE CS4. Please help me. Also If you can tell me any free converter for .MOV to AF file format.
    I am using Windows 8 OS.
    Thanks!

    CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
    It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
    Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
    I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
    That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

  • Trouble Importing MOV files in adobe premiere pro cs3

    Hi,
    I just bought a Canon 60D camera and I am using adobe premiere pro cs3 for the first time.

    Hi All,
    Let me tell you how I solved the XDV9 codec trouble on my Windows 7 system. The solution is rather stunning because I am using completely free software. First download the Shark007 codec pack for your system here: http://shark007.net/forum/Thread-Setup-and-usage . Please be aware that the codec pack installer comes with a toolbar install option so make sure you de-select this option during the installation process. After installation check the MOV tab on the "Settings Application" program. Make sure "use LAV's splitter" is selected for MOV Playback.
    Now comes the crazy part... To convert the XDV9 MOV video clips just download Windows Essentials Movie Maker for Windows 7. At this moment more info about this program can be found here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/movie-maker-get-started . Again, make sure to set the right settings during installation otherwise you will be installing a lot of possible unwanted crap like Windows Live Mail, Windows Skydrive etc.
    Movie Maker has quite good settings for converting (High Definition or custom settings are supported). Select your clip, or select multiple clips to create an unedited full length clip of all your clips, and then select "create movie". I used the "use recomended settings for this project" settings as it matches the source file resolution and frame rates etc. It is quite some work to convert clips like this but its the only free solution I could find so far.
    Good luck!
