Importing Movies from Canon SD1000?

I Can't import a movie taken on the Canon SD1000.
Canon says this feature is not supported for Mac OSX.
Is there any way to work around this?
I tried iViewMedia Pro but that didn't work either.
Please help.

I've been able to import movies from the SD1000 using Image Capture just fine. I just couldn't play them using Quicktime. (Quicktime says it needs some software and takes you to Apple's site but doesn't tell you what software you need! Duh...) Anyway Perian (mentioned above) did the trick!

  • Imovie '08 won't manually import movies from Canon Elura 100

    I previously manipulated movies using Windows (oh the horror), but moving over to the Mac world has presented an issue with importing movies. To define clips that were easier to edit, I previously put 2 second, closed-shutter spaces between clips. imovie isn't bridging the gaps between clips and won't allow me to further import the movies automatically, nor manually import them.
    When I use the onscreen play button, the camera starts for an instant and then immediately stops.
    Are there settings to overcome this?

    iphoto '11 version 9.2.3.
    The camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 and I am using a Sandisk Ultra SDHC card.
    I think it might be something to do with the camera and/or SD card as when I upload from my DSLR camera or my phone I don't have this problem.
    It imports the still version of the movie but not the movie itself. I have inadvertently deleted several videos lately and its getting very frustrating!!

  • Import video from canon eos 550d

    What settings should be FCP7 to successfully import .mov from Canon eos 550d?
    I would like video without the noise and recoil.
    Tnx

    550...that's the T2i, right? Downloading the EOS Log and Transfer plugin, and hacking it, is one way:
    http://lfhd.net/2010/04/04/log-and-transfer-for-canon-dslrs/
    Magic Bullet Grinder to convert to ProRes is another:

    Or Compressor.
    No matter what, you need to convert the footage to ProRes for editing:
    #51 - Canon 5D MkII / Canon 7D footage into FCP
    Shane's Stock Answer #51 - how do you bring in footage from the Canon 5D and 7D cameras into FCP to edit?
    You need to convert all of the Canon 5D MkII footage from the H.264 format that it records, to ProRes 422 (ProRes HQ is unnecessary...no quality difference) Yes, the file sizes get drastically larger. H.264 is an acquisition and delivery format, not an editing one.
    You can use the Canon EOS Log and Transfer plugin that works with the 1D, 5D and 7D cameras. This plugin is great because it brings in the camera's TIME OF DAY as timecode, instead of starting each clip at 00:00:00:00 like Compressor or other conversion software will do.

    Here is a tutorial on how to use it:

  • Import files from canon 5Dmark111

    Importing footage from canon 5D mark 111, in log and transfer won't allow me to import.  i was advised to first compress footage on compressor, would that render importable files. 
    maybe won't import because there are some JPEG files amongst the mov files.??? 

    Sorry, log and transfer won't work with the Mark III....the plugin doesn't list it on the supported cameras.  You need to use COMPRESSOR and the ProRes 422 for Progressive presets.

    Does anyone have experience with importing movies from a Canon HF20? When I connect via USB iMovie does not detect there is anything to upload...Help

    Hi, I have the same problem on my G5 with iMovie HD 6.0.3 and OS 10.5.8.
    I try to import video from my cam Canon ZR500 with FireWire connection. Sometimes, I can import video very well, some times, I can control the camera (stop, play, etc) but no "image", and sometimes "nothing". The last time, I import video from my Sony Cyber-Shot photo camera, and its perfect. Then since this, my Canon wont works !!!!

    Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
    Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
    Thanks for any info!

  • Can I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1. to import movies from Panasonic VDR-D250?

    Can I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1. to import movies from Panasonic VDR-D250 via USB 2.0? How? (page in handbook?)
    Further specifications of this older camera:
    USB 2.0
    DVD-RAM (cannot be inserted in my MBP!)
    50-PAL (signal)
    MPEG2
    Dolby Digital
    I want to use FCE if possible but maybe could try to install the software of this camera on Windows virtual XP also on my MBP?

    I forward an answer of Panasonic (written in German):
    So Panasonic does not offer a software which is compatible with Apple!
    Bezug nehmend auf Ihre Anfrage teilen wir Ihnen mit, dass der Camcorder
    VDR-D250 die Videoaufnahmen nach dem DVD-Videostandard sowie nach dem
    DVD-VR-Standard aufnehmen kann. Wir können jedoch nicht beurteilen ob Ihre
    Software Final Cut Express 4.0.1 die Bearbeitung dieser Standards
    unterstützt. Seitens Panasonic wird weder eine Apple kompatible software
    noch Support für Apple Geräte angeboten. Wenden Sie sich diesbezüglich
    bitte an Ihren Apple Händler oder Ihren Computeradministrator. Die
    mitgelieferte Software des Camcorders ist ausschließlich für folgende
    Betriebssysteme vorgesehen:
    - Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
    - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
    - Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Ob diese Software in einer virtuellen Umgebung genutzt werden kann ist uns
    nicht bekannt. Um die mit dem Camcorder aufgenommenen DVDs an einem
    Computer-Laufwerk auslesen zu können müssen diese vorab mit dem Camcorder
    finalisiert werden. Ausnahme ist die Verwendung einer DVD-RAM.

  • Can't import AVCHD from Canon F10 into FinalCutPro 6.0.4 via USB

    Can't import AVCHD from Canon F10 into FinalCutPro 6.0.4 via USB. When opening Log&Transfer in FCP, no files show up (the Log&Transfer window do not seem to recognize the files on the camera). The camera shows up in Finder, though. - Do I need a driver?

    sorry, of course USB is available for L&T, I use it every Friday so I should know better, I got two replies mixed up completly so thanks for correcting my mistake.
    what I meant to suggest was if the camera does not show in finder or in L&T check the camea menu setting is set to connect to the hard drive and not from the camera or memory card.

  • Do I need to upgrade both LR 5.7 and Camera Raw 8.7 to import files from Canon 7dMark2?  or is LR 5.7 enough or is camera raw 8.7 enough

    Lightroom is a complete stand alone program and does not require you to have any other Adobe product on your computer.
    Adobe Camera Raw is a plugin for Photoshop CS and is not require by Lightroom nor is it used by Lightroom.
    However if you are using both Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6 /Photoshop CC and wish them to 100% compatible then you will need to update the ACR Plugin in Photoshop.
    Lightroom 5.7 will work fine with your Canon 7dMk2. (Its internal processing engine is the equivalent of ACR 8.7)
    To wit LR 5.7 is an alternative to ACR 8.7 Plugin in Photoshop, you do not necessarily need both.

  • Problem with importing movies from my Sony HDR-SR5

    Having trouble importing movies from my Sony HDR-SR5. The computer is reading HD camcorder but Iphoto is coming up and not Imovie. I don't have any still pics and SD movies. When I go into imovie camcorder does not show up. Any suggestions?

    Did your "Camcorder" ever worked with iMovie? If so, what version were your running?
    What version of iMovie are you currently running: iMovie 8.0.5 or iMovie 8.0.6?
    What version of the OS are you currently running: 10.6.2 or 10.6.3?

    How to import movies from imovies to a memory card.

    Well, if you mean transfer movies from the iMovie events folder, go to that folder as in Finder-movies-imovie events, and drag a copy to your card.
    Or, you could finish making the movie, and drag the .mov file from your desktop or wherever you have it.
