IPhoto 09 with a Canon 5D MKII

I use my 5D MKII and shoot exclusively in RAW. My workflow is to import using Adobe CS5 bridge (Can't wait for LightRoom to support video) and for future compatibility, I automatically get Bridge to convert the files to Adobe DNG.
Because of the file size as well as processing time etc, a lot of the time it makes sense to shoot in SRAW1, but as soon as I convert an SRAW1 file to DNG, iPhoto doesn't recognize the photo anymore. If I convert a normal RAW file to DNG, iPhoto sees it, if I leave SRAW1 as SRAW1, iPhoto sees it - as soon as I convert from SRAW1 to DNG, iPhoto can't see it.
PS : Before anyone asks about using iPhoto and not LR / CS5 etc, iPhoto is pretty cool for face recognition, Flickr, Facebook and then using iMovie etc
Any suggestions would be welcome as I have searched the net but I have no idea on what to do to fix this.

I'm afraid there is no fix. The DNG from the SRAW is not compatible with iPhoto.

Have you checked out Aperture 3? It already supports video... and all of the above.

Canon 5D MkII not detecting in iMovie and Photo Booth

Background:
Until a few weeks ago we were using a Panasonic N28 Camcorder to take photos via Photo Booth and record videos via Image Capture. We had it connected using Firewire and maybe we also had USB too and it was able to shoot videos via iMovie'11 too. We now replaced this model with a Canon 5D MkII.
Issue:
Our Canon 5D MkII replaced our camcorder and it's connected via usb to our MAC running Mountain Lion and iMovie'11 with the latest update, yet it is not recognised by iMovie & Photobooth. It it unable to be selected and used instead of the iSight camera. It works fine in Image Capture so there is no hardware issues with the Canon 5D MkII. I can import recorded movies into iMovie'11 also.
What is the issue? Is there anything I need to download from Apple? Can my Canon 5D MkII be used in place of my Apple iSight camera?
Please help if you can.

I guess that may be a valid point, the Panasonic N28 Camcorder was of relatively low grade certainly not HD.
So if I want a better camera to use in place of the isight camera, am I best off going with a webcam?
My Panasonic was had a screw mount so I put a very wide lense on it. i also was able to vary the depth of field and achieve really good results. This is why I wanted the 5D to be used, and need an alternative.

Getting 15" MBP to do some HD video editing - Canon 5D mkii. Premier Elements or Final Cut?

With a new 15" MacBook Pro, what would be the suggestion for video editing software - will be doing HD with the Canon 5D mkii. I am doing ostly some family stuff and a few things for work - training pieces, nothing longer than about 15 minutes in time. I don't need the Pro stuff as a lot of it will go unused due to lack of skill and need. I have iMovie 8 and I need more than that. Final Cut Express is discontinued, so I am looking at Adobe Premier Elements 10 as a possibility. It is not a matter of money, but I want like a middle of the road software, with a good laptop (need the portability). Also, shoudl I ge the top of the line upgraded 15" MBP or spring for the Retina display with the SSD option???

I have both Adobe's Premier Pro CS6 and Final Cut Pro X installed on both my Mac Pro 8-core and a new Macbook Pro with Retina Display (2.7 GHz, 768 GB flash storage, and 16 GB of RAM). I am not a professional editor, but I am serious about editing video as a hobby. On both my Mac Pro and on my MBPR, Final Cut Pro X is very very stable, and performs exceptionally well. Since it's introduction about 18 months ago Apple has offered a number of free updates to FCP X which have really improved its functionality and stability. FCP X has a unique trackless paradigm for video editing (the magnietic timeline) which I really like and find helpful in speeding up the editing workflow. However, FCP X (like all video editing programs) does have a learning curve and I recommend that you purchase and watch the training tutorials from Ripple Training or from other good sources such as lynda.com. It can be a frustrating and unprofitable experience to simply jump into FCP X and try to begin editing your Canon 5D Mark II footage without first taking the time to learn the fundamentals of the program.
These comments are also true for Adobe's Premier Elements (a simpler version of Adobe's Premier Pro editing package).   I have not yet used Premiere Pro CS6 to any significant extent on my MBPR but I have edited several projects (indcluding ones using 5D Mark II footage) on my Mac Pro using PP CS5 and CS5.5. I have never had a problem with the stability of the program. However, a number of Mac users are reporting problems using PP CS6 on the Adobe PP Forum.
As for advice on whether to purchase the top of the line upgrade 15 in. MBP or the MBPR, I would say that is a matter of personal choice. The high resolution display of the MBPR makes for a great editing experience since you can see a full 1080p video in FCP X's output window without any scaling at all.   The flash storage of the MBPR means that you will be able to play numerous streams of 1080p video simultaneously without the need for purchasing external Raid arrays. I purchased my MBPR for video editing purposes and I certianly have no regrets about the choice.
One final comment. Most of the time my MBPR runs quietly and reasonably cool (CPU temps of 45-75 C.). However, when you render a movie in FCP X, be prepared to hear the fan speeds go to their maximum speed (which is dfinitely audible but not unpleasant) and for the cpu temperature to rise as high as 100 C. or slightly higher. I have never had the MBPR do a thermal shutdown while rendering video, but it does get hot, and a laptop cooler support for the MBPR is a necessity when using it for high intensity cpu tasks like video editing.

Canon 5d mkIII video file won't import

Curious problem. I've imported about 20 video files that were shot with a Canon 5D MkIII into FCPX (CF camera card>portable drive>FCPX). All of the files, save one, import with no problem. One won't but it plays just fine from the finder. I've run diagnostics on the portable drive and everything passes.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I have the 5D mk iii and have not experienced this problem. I drag the files from the CF card onto a dedicated partition on a drive (contains nothing else, only my .mov files for import into FCP X).
I then launch FCP X and it recognises the drive as a camera and I use Camera Import (Cmd+i) to mark my in and out points and import.
Works every time for me.
Alternatively (on this occasion) try using an App like MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert the clip to ProRes 422.

Movies shot with my Canon T2i playback in iPhoto '11 is jerkey

Movies shot with my Canon T2i DSLR playback seems very jerkey. It seems like it plays a few frames and suddenly skips one, then the process repeats. Anyone know of a way to resolve this?
I downloaded the same movie from my camera to my PC (running Windows 7) and it plays just fine!!
Is this a Quicktime issue? iPhoto issue? Mac issue?... Please help!

iPhoto uses QuickTime to play the videos so that seems a likely culprit. Have you installed Perian?

IPhoto Compatibility with Canon Powershot A720?

Can anyone verify that iPhoto 7.1.1 is compatible with the Canon Powershot A720? Also, anyone know if Apple provides a list of compatible devices online?

Good morning. I can tell you that the Powershot A620 works perfect with all my Macs. I've traveled to Ireland twice with it and to the West Cost and the pictures were and still absolutely stunning. I even used iMovie to make a little vid log of our trip to Ireland and they play it here in my local pub. People are asking the owners were did they buy the Ireland DVD? I'm getting a big head over those photos.
Here is a link to some of them as seen on Google Earth:

I think it is safe to say you won't go wrong with a Canon. That model has photo stabilization if I remember correctly. I don't have that but I wish I did.
Good luck.

Canon connect canon 5d mkII to imac with Canon EOS Utility

After many years of using a PC, I finally took the plunge and purchased a Imac only to find I cannot connect my Canon 5D MkII SLR camera, it just says "No camera found". Looking on Google I see othe rpeople have had problems. Anybody know of any solutions?

The 5D Mk II ON/Off switch has two On settings. Set it to the first one (in the middle between off and fully on) and it will connect

Need to see raw thumbnails for Canon 5D MkIII

Using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - I want to stay with this version of the OS!!
All cameras up until the new Canon 5D MkIII were showing thumbnails images of RAW photos in the FINDER.
Now there is generic icon and no thumbnail. I need to use the finder for sorting and previewing RAW images.
Is this a ploy to force upgrading to the buggy later version of the OS?
I like 10.6.8 better and want it to work as advertised for more that 24 months. How hard can it be to support RAW images when new cameras are released?
Is there another path (iPhoto?) that runs on Sonw Leopard and supports RAW from recent cameras?
Thanks,

I appreciate replys but please carefully read the original posting.
I upgraded to a new camera - Canon 5D MKIII - which is when I lost thumbnails in the FINDER.
I upgraded to Mt. Lion and don't like it. Like I said, I want to find a solution using Snow Leopard. the Mac is a personal computer and that's how I want to use it.
I have Photoshop CS6 which is how I have to review my images now. This is much slower than FINDER thumbnails.
So again: is there a way to have thumbnails show in Snow Leopard/FINDER for Canon 5D MKIII raw images?

How to print with a Canon Compact Photo Printer CP-330?

never found a so hard issue, I'm used to plug&play hardware...
can anyone help me printing from iPhoto or Photoshop to a Canon Compact Photo Printer CP-330?
I tried with Canon's drivers, with Gimp 5, anything... one time the printer started working, then stopped after the first pass (yellow color)... frustrating...
thanks

Hi there,
If you have had no luck with the Canon or Gutenprint drivers then you may have a printer problem. Have you been able to print from it using your memory card directly connected?
If you think/know the printer is okay then I would look at the cups error log to determine why the spool is failing. This log is located in the Console application.

Camera Raw Support for Canon 7D MkII

Just trying to get some idea if I should spend the $99.00 to buy Aperture from the Apple Store. This might sound a little over the top, but the work flow I miss by not having RAW support in Lightroom is worth the expense of buying Aperture.
I do find it very disappointing that Adobe have not as yet provided support for the new Canon 7D MkII. This will be a VERY popular camera.
More importantly I find this tardiness on Adobe's part very disappointing because they market CC buy saying "You will always have up to date software". When you consider Apple and Google Picasa have both already supported the Canon 7D MkII. I might add they both had support for the camera within days of it's release on 31 of Oct.
So after my little rant.
Can anybody from Adobe advise when we will see Camera Raw support the new Canon 7DMkII?
Even if it is in Beta form I would be very happy to be a Beta tester. I have very extensive experience in testing software and would be prepared to do structured Beta testing. I would be very happy if someone from Adobe Labs would contact me for the purpose of Beta testing Camera Raw support for the 7D MkII.
Kind Regards
Tom Croll

Thanks ssprengel, you have clearly put into words what is currently reality at Adobe, and confirmed my suspicion of Aperture being a dead product. Although Google's Picasa is not dead.
I do realize Adobe Products are very well developed and software does take time to perfect before it gets released. I have been in the software development game for 35 years
But Camera RAW is an adjunct to Lightroom, Photoshop, Premier Pro etc. As such the support for new camera models should be a relatively simple exercise and should not be held up by other R&D on the products that Camera Raw plugs into. I believe they have in the past released updates to Camera Raw that essentially was just for new camera models. I do realize I could be wrong on this point, but I fail to see why they can't achieve this outcome.
Also, as I said Adobe Market Creative Cloud membership saying you will always be up to date. Or words to that effect.
To have an Adobe support person get upset because he has a large number of people pestering Adobe, and not him personally, trying to get ans answer as to the timing of the release of support for a new camera model, quite frankly is totally unacceptable. Not acceptable to the customers and not acceptable to the poor support person who has to handle disgruntled customers due to poor planning on Adobe's part.
In my original post I made a very serious offer to do Beta Testing on support for the Canon 7DMkII Raw files. But when i last checked with Adobe Labs the current Beta does not include support for this camera.
There maybe extenuating circumstances around the timely supply of this support. Like when did Canon provide the Specs for the 7D MkII and are those specs so different from other currently supported models. Even some feedback as to what the problem is, would help us understand.
I hope I have expressed my thoughts objectively and hope this discussion stream will get to management at Adobe. In fact I am very inclined to ensure it does get to senior management. I don't want to start writing a personal letter to the Chairman of Adobe's Board, but sometimes things do need a shake up.

IPhoto 6 with 2 macs, an airport extreme and a extenal harddrive

Hi
Can you help a new mac user?
I recently converted from PC because I heard so many great things about the mac but have struggled with a few things.
I have two macs - a mac book and a mini - and an airport extreme with a harddrive attached. I have IPhoto 6 and a shedload of photos. What I want to do is the following:
1. Back up my photo collection on the external harddrive. I presume the easiest way to do this is just to export from IPhoto. Is this the best way?
2. Modify the pictures on one or other of the macs and then update the other one with the changes. Not sure how to do this.
Also, I have been playing around with these things for the last couple of weeks and noticed if I import photos from the external drive they lose their original date settings and get the date settings from the date I put them on the external drive. This has driven me mad and if I ever had to import my backed up library from my harddrive would send me completely crazy. Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance...

Art H:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions and in from the darkside.
Are you wanting to share a library between the two Macs or have each Mac have it's own library and then keep them the same as time goes on.
If it's the first option, you're best bet would be to put your iPhoto Library folder on the external HD (with ownership turned off as shown here) and then have each Mac access the library on the external HD.
Then you can periodically copy the iPhoto library folder to one of the Macs as a backup, the one with the most free HD space. To do it frequently you can use a backup application what will only copy those new or changed files from the library folder on the external to the backup copy on the designated Mac. Much faster that way.
If it's the later, then it's going to be a little more difficult, at least the updating the second Mac. If both Macs will be adding new photos to the library it will take using iPhoto Library Manager to move the new photos (in rolls or albums) from one library to the other like this while keeping the keywords intact.
If you're only adding new photos to one library and you want to update the library on the second mac occasionally you can use the backup application to backup from Library A to Library B. Then keep a backup of the primary library (A) on the external HD and back it up with the backup application frequently also. I use Synk for that.
I think the first option would be the best as each Mac can add to the same library. One restriction to that would be that only one Mac can access the library at a time.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

CS4 (v11.0.2) won't recognise RAW files from my Canon 5D MKII camera

Hi Folks. I'm running a MAC Pro (2x3 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon machine with 8GB;s of RAM (DDR2 FB-DIMM)
Up till last week, I was running this machine on Leopard, but last week, I started a new drive. Installed Snow Leopard on it and did a clean install with all my programs, but I did migrate over the Users folder. Other than that, programs have been individually reinstalled. I've been very impressed with photoshop CS4 on snow leopard, via a Macbook pro, so I knew that this was worth pursuing for improved speed and performance.
I bought the Snoe Leopard upgrade disc from MAC and did the install. I've been using my CS4 on the Leopard program that used to run this machine and it worked flawlessly, however now under Snow Leopard I am getting a message that tells me that Photoshop doesn't understand the camera files now. This didn't happen before except when the Canon 5D MKII first came out and you guys made a patch for it. My machine is behaving like that again now, despite the fact that I'm running 11.0.2 on photoshop CS4 Do you have any suggestions anyone?...
Aloha
Sean
P.S. Other than this current inconvenience, the program runs very fast now....

In Photoshop, go to the menu Photoshop>About Plug-ins>Camera Raw... What version does it say you have? You need version 5.2 or later for support for the 5D MkII.
You can download it here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4680

Is there a patch for Preview and iPhoto for the new Canon RAW format yet?

I recently purchased a Canon 6D, and I was surprised to find out that my Preview and iPhoto does not read the new Canon RAW codec. It's been out for almost 7 or 8 months. All my software is current. I have a 2007 MacBook Pro with iOS 10.7.5 The software that Canon supplied is terribly slow when it comes to importing the CR2 files and exporting them as jpegs. iPhoto can import my Canon 40D CR2 photos and spit out the jpeg proofs super quick. So, does anyone know of any software updates that I may have overlooked regarding iPhoto or Preview. I can't upgrade to Mavericks, as my computer will not support it. I have a feeling I may be SOL, but thanks for any help!

10.7.5 is not an iOS, it is a Mac OS X. And no, it is not current. 10.9.3 is current. As for your 6D, here's the RAW by operating system support:
Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats
OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats- your operating system
OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats10.8
OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats10.9 support
Turns out the 6D is supported for 10.7. You need the RAW compatibility update 4.0.3:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.03
And the 40d is natively supported by 10.7.

How can I import Canon .CR2 raw files gererated by the new Canon 5D MkIII?

Just got the new Canon 5D MkIII and none of the Adobe products can recognize the raw files (called .CR2) it generates.
I'd be happy just converting them to .DNG but converters won't recognize them either.
Anyone know a solution for me?
Thanks.
