Log and Transfer with Canon 5d mark iii footage on OS 10.5

FCP is not recognizing my SCDH card in the Log and Transfer window
and I'm wondering why this is.
I am running OS 10.5 - and there were no additional EOS drivers available
on Canon's website for my OS.
I am shooting with the new 5D mark iii. When I first got the Rebel T2i a few years
back, I had the same problem and installing the Canon driver worked to
get the card to show up in the Log and Transfer window.
Does anyone have tips for how to get my Log and Transfer window to recognize
a card from the 5D mark iii?
Thanks.

Hi, guys.
In my experience, the best native format is ProRes MOV while the 5D Mark III recorded file is H.264 MOV. So I have been using a H.264 to ProRes MOV Converter to help me change the 5D Mark III H.264 MOV files before importing to FCP on my iMac. I found the way from Google. The below is the link.

Log and Transfer with Canon XF300's after 1.0.2 Firmware upgrade

Log and transfer with Canon cameras

Hello. Using Final Cut Pro 7 to edit my project.
I've been importing footage successfully from my Canon 7D using the Log and Transfer plugin.
I tried to do the same with new footage from my Canon Powershot S100. I receievd this error:
"contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
I transferred the files from camera --> external hard drive keeping the original file structure. is there another way I should be importing footage from a non-EOS camera?
Thanks!

I'm not aware of any plugin that Canon has for the S100 but you may want to check on that. If they don't, it would be best to convert the footage to ProRes 422 prior to importing into an FCP project.

FCE Log and Transfer with Canon Vixia HF11

I've recently upgraded FCE. Before the upgrade I had no problems with log and transfer. I have changed absolutely nothing on my camera or computer other than the upgrade. Now when I try to log and transfer the files are in the window but I get a red icon that indicates they won't download. Are there simple fixes here? I don't understand most of the terminology used on these sites. I just know that it worked before I upgraded and doesn't work now. Thanks

Go to the Log and Trnasfer window and find the Settings icon (a small gear wheel).
Change the audio from Martix to Plain Stereo and try again.

Log and Transfer from Canon Legria HF M36

Hello everyone,
I write from Italy.
I have a big problem. I can not successfully import video clips from my camcorder Canon Legria HF M36 into Final Cut Pro using Log and Transfer with any setting. If I get same clips in iMovie 09 I get clips into Apple Intermediate code, good. If I use the same clips in Final Cut Pro 7.0 video looks rough. I do not know what to do. Who can help me?
Thank you very much
Giovanni Losacco

That camera is confusing me when I look it up on BandH. Is it HD or SD?
It sends to SD card, yes? What format are you bringing it in as? I'd try Apple ProRes LT to start. See if that works.

PS5 will not open camera raw pictures...all made with Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 5D Mark II

What version of camera raw do you have? You should have at least 6.7 for PS to open Canon 5D Mark III raw images.

CS5 Raw with Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 6D

I have CS5. I recently upgraded my 5D Mark II to a 5D Mark III. I also have a 6D. I can't open my images in RAW. Am I forced to purchase CS6?

Hi,
You should be able to open the Canon 5D Mark III files into photoshop cs5 by updating to camera raw 6.7
(Help>Updates from within photoshop cs5)
For the Canon 6D, the 8.1 DNG converter should work by converting your 6D camera raw files to dng
copies which should then open in photoshop cs5.

EXIF and "Flash" field with Canon 1D mark III

Hi,
I have two Canon 1D mark III.
I'm shooting RAW without a flash attached to both cameras.
But if I look in Aperture in the EXIF data of the two cameras, then one camera is showing the value "16" in the "Flash" EXIF field the other is showing "0" as the value in the "Flash" EXIF field.
What does this field mean, why are there different values for the same shooting conditions?
Thanks

But there was no flash on any of these two cameras, so how can this then be different?
Most cameras will let you change some flash settings whether there is a flash attached or not.

Log and Transfer Issues - Canon HF10

I have just recently acquired a Canon HF10 video camera and have had success getting some of the video to my Mac via log and transfer, however when the video files seem to be much longer than a few minutes the process fails. The status bar while it's transferring makes it all the way to 100%, but the file itself never moves up to the browser. When I click the file in the log and transfer window after the status bar has stopped moving I get a red exclamation mark with unknown error. Any help on this will greatly be appreciated.

I believe I have figured out what the issue is. I was using an old 250Gb external as my scratch drive. Well - this drive is in FAT format and I just discovered that the FAT drives are limited to 4GB limit, hence the reason I couldn't transfer my larger files. I'm planning on reformatting this drive to Journaled OSX and I should be cool.

Log and Transfer w/ Canon HF20 FCE

I have the canon hf20 It worked perfect with imovie 09,
I just bought Final Cut Express, I can't get it to log and transfer for the life of me. Is final Cut Express 4 and Canon HF20 compatible?
How do you import video / log and transfer?
I can't find the answer anywhere!

I have a Canon HF S100 and am also running into the problem. It will bring my clips up but when I drag them over after setting up an in and out it says there is no data.

Must I "Log and Transfer" from Canon HG 10?

I have a Canon HG 10 (which is an HDD camcorder) and I'm using a 2.2 ghz macbook pro with OS 10.5.6. I can open the camera's disk image on my desktop and copy the "AVCHD" folder to my hard disk, and everything seems to be there. Question: can I simply navigate to the video clip folder and import the clips into FCE, or would it be more complicated?
In the past, if I copy the "AVCHD" folder to my hard disk, and then make a disk image out of it, imovie has treated the disk image like a camcorder (I haven't tried this yet with FCE), but I'd rather not have to make the AVCHD folder into a disk image-- doesn't seem like this should be necessary. Thanks

I want to keep a duplicate of the camera's information, before it is imported into FCE. I can log and transfer from the camera, but I'd like to keep an exact duplicate of the video camera's disk information on another hard disk even after it has been deleted from the camera. Also, it seems to not take nearly as long to open the camera's disk image and copy the files than it takes to log and transfer into FCE, from the camera, so apparently I don't have to keep the camera connected to the computer as long as long as I can retrieve the files from the copy later.

Log and Transfer from Canon HFs100

I have connected my Canon HFS100 via usb cable to my mac and am able to use log and transfer to import/convert most of the clips. The problem I have is that it will not convert about 10% of the clips for some reason.
I am able to view and play the clips that are not able to be converted in the player in the log and transfer window, but when I add them to the queued section to convert them it tries to convert them and then fails. I get the Red Stop sign with exclamation point.
All video was shot one after another and nothing different was done.

Deleting FCP Preferences:
Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
Note: For FCP 7 the file will be called "Final Cut Pro 7.0 Prefs", obviously.
When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up. I

Log and Transfer with error when adding to queue

I transfer video to Log and Capture from Canon Vixia HF S11 AVCHD fine in FCP 7.03. When I try to log the selected clips (Add Selection to Queue) they do appear in the window of logged clips but each with red circle with exclamation point, Unknown error. The effect is that the clips do not get logged to the Browser.
I trashed FCP preferences without effect. This problem appeared now. Before, Log and transfer worked fine. I see only one similar issue in the forum with recommendation to be sure to have scratch disk set, which I do.

connect the camera and go to applications: utilities: disk utility and see if the camera shows up. I think it usually shows up as a drive called "untitled" although it may have some other name. If it doesn't, it may be a problem with the camera or the cable. You might try restarting the computer with the camera attached. I've found that some cameras are a little tricky to connect and it's usually the way the controls on the camera are manipulated. Once you get the camera to mount on your computer, copy the entire contents of the "drive" to your computer and then log and transfer, pointing to the containing folder.

Focus problems with Canon 1D Mark III

I have been having problems with my 1D Mark III, it take an unusually long time to focus. The problem is especially prevalent indoors. I am using a Canon 24 to 70 IS lens.

I have had the camera since it first came out, however I also aready had a Canon 20D at the time. I seemed to do better with the 20D. I recently bought a Canon 7D and it focuses much faster. I am very displeased with the 1D Mark III.
I am an experienced photographer, photography is a passion I have studied and pursued. The 20D was my first DSLR, prior to that I shot with a Nikon 2020 film camera.
The problem with the 1D Mark III is that it takes an unusually long time to autofocus. Due to this, I usually relied on the 20D. When I bought the 7D I retired the 20D and paired the new camera with he 1D for gigs (weddings, parties etc.). It is frustrating to attempt shots with the camera and have subjects wait for me to shoot.

FCP Crash when opening log and transfer with some AVCHD footage on a card

Hi,
I'm using a freshly (re)installed version of FCP 7 on a brand new macbookpro loaded with 8gb ram and equipped with a small 2ghz Intel Core i7
I get footage shot on Panasonic ag-hmr10 minicams coming on SD cards as AVCHD footage. Sometimes the files are quite big, 17gb of compressed footage.
When I go to log and transfer, to convert the footage in apple prores, the l/t window opens, I see a preview of my footage, than the spinning beach ball of death shows up and FCP crashes every time. I've tried deleting the preferences and reinstalling the software. Still, it keeps crashing. Now the same file on a different computer equipped with FCP will be processed, slowly but surely.
Now I know I can work around this problem by going to toast as an encoder, but I want to fix this issue so I can operate from FCP. I've seen this problem posted before but never found any good solution.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried setting the L&T AVCHD audio conversion prefs to plain stereo?
Open the L&T window.
Click on the gear icon towards the upper center of the frame.
Select "Plain Stereo" For the AVCHD plugin.
