Log & Transfer issues with Canon HF200

I'm trying to import about 150 short videos from my canon HF200 camera. Although it doesn't have a firewire connection (it's through USB), it does record AVCHD. When I plug the camera in to my computer, it is recognized in the finder window. However, no options show up to allow me to import from the camera. And, when I open FCE, the camera is not registering in the FCE Log and Transfer window. The clips aren't even there. I have been reading forums all night and I'm at my wit's end.
I'm using Snow Leopard, FCE 4.0.1, and everything seems adequately updated. Please help me figure out what I'm going wrong!

Hi -
1) Are you confident that your footage on your camera is in the HD format? Log and Transfer does not work with footage that is shot as Standard Definition.
2) Have you tried to navigate to the camera manually using the Add Volume Button on the upper right?
3) Have you tried removing the memory card and attempting to access it through a memory card reader?
Thanks

Log & transfer issues from Canon 5D

Hey,
There's some footage shot on a Canon 5D (in H.264 format), I want to use FCP 7's log & transfer feature to convert to apple pro res. However the files are greyed out and unable to click on them. Equally as unsuccessful, I can't drag them from finder on to the log & transfer window.
The files haven't been moved since copying the data from cards (which they are no longer on) so unsure as to why they are not importing. I have tried from both an external hard drive and from a server but can't access them via FCP 7.
I can view them in preview, but not in Quicktime if this helps anyone find the root of the problem

Download and install the free 'EOS Movie Plugin E1 for FCPV1.2'
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_5d_mark_ ii#DriversAndSoftware
Use the Log and Transfer to import H.264 footage form the camera or the card directly into FCP, you will have the options in the import window setting to decide what type of ProRes to convert to. Works like a charm..

Log & Transfer problem with Canon Vixia

I have a Canon Vixia HG20 and I am trying to use the log and transfer. But it is not working.
I select my clip and select add to queue but it never adds. I get a red exclamation sign and it says clip idle.
I've used both of my macs, an iMac with Tiger and a Macbook with Leopard. I have Final Cut Express 4.
I have tried setting the audio to plain stereo, didn't help
I can get iMovie to transfer the clips no problem.
Anyone know what I need to do?

I am using the Canon HG10 with CE 4.0.1 and seem to be having the same problem. I am new to FCE 4.
I have tried a few of the settings on Easy Setup however I do not seem to be having any joy.
If anybody could shed some light onto this I would be so grateful!
Thanks

Log and Transfer problem with Canon DSLR

I have not been able to make Log and Transfer work with my canon 5D mrk II files. I can import the files or even drag and drop them into FCE but never have been able to get them to come in using log and transfer function. I have tried every kind of file conversion using quicktime Pro and MPEG StreamClip. Does anyone have a way of getting their files into FCE using this function?
All I ever get is this error:
"DCIM" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
My file structure from the chip is: /DCIM/100EOS5D/MVI_**.mov (and also) MVI_**.thm

have you loaded the canon plug in for final cut? this may be the simplest way for you to get those files into FCP.

User log in issue with Xcelsius SWF file

HI,
I am using the BI as source to BO. Xcelsius dashboard is using webi data by live office.
I have exported the xcelsius in swf file & ppt format.
i am using the credentials user name, password and authentication as SAP.
I have the roles which are created in BI and imported to BO and the roles have users in BI , which came by default to BO.
Now I have created the new users in BI with initial password. I cant login to infoview or swf until i change the initial password in BI and thn with new password i can log in to BO. I understood this concept.
But confusing part is after changing to new password in BI, i can be able to log in to swf or PPT but not fetching latest data from data base.
if i log on first into infoview , thn i can be able to log onto swf file or PPT correctly and access the latest data.
If i directly access the ppt file , i get 'failed to get the document information. lo 26315". But if i login to infoview first then to swf or ppt i wont get any problem.
The problem is, users are access the dashboard file from ppt and pdf. So , is there any work around that, the new user can directly access the data from swf or ppt, without entering the infoview???

Hi sapbi83 ,
May i Know which connection you are using for fetching data into xcelsius, is it LO(Live Office) or Qaaws
if it is Live Office then what is the refresh property set for live office object? and how many live office objects or how many qaaws connection u are using.?
provide the answe of all the above question, i'll be able to help you and Infoview has nothing to do it with the real time data connectivity. the dashboard is completely dependent on the connections used to get data into the xcelsius, if the error is coming in PPT or PDF standalone then there is some issue with the connection used in xcelsius, just let me know the answer of all the above questions.

Issue with Canon Legria HF20 and iMovie 09

I am having an issue with using the Canon Legria HF20 (which is the PAL version of the Canon Vixia HF20) with iMovie 09, and I am trying to confirm whether other people experience the issue.
I recently purchased the video camera, and while I am having no issues shooting in 25p, I am having an issue with 50i. When I shoot in 50i and import into iMovie at 'Full-Original Size" the footage displays with a horizontal interlaced combing effect, whereby if the camera moves left or right, horizontal lines appear, which causes the edges of things to look jagged. This is difficult to see in the small preview box, but is easy to see if you preview in full screen. I have been told that this shouldn’t occur as iMovie should recognise that the footage is interlaced and adjust the footage when being previewed (thanks Steve Mullen for confirming that). Again, there is no problem with shooting in 25p.
This link has an example I found on the internet of what I am seeing: http://media.photobucket.com/image/deinterlace%20video/jlatenight/deinterlace.jp g
Also, when I export the footage from iMovie using 'Export using Quicktime' at either 1080i or 720p, the footage remains interlaced even though I have selected 'Deinterlace Source Video'
So far I have been unable to get to the bottom of this issue. I have spoken to Apple and they are saying that while the Canon Vixia HF20 (NTSC Version) is on the official list of cameras supported by iMovie, the Canon Legria (PAL Version) isn’t, although they couldn’t say whether this could have something to do with the issue I am having.
Therefore, I was wondering if anyone could confirm whether they have experienced this issue. Can you please confirm that you are using the Legria version and not the Vixia version of the Camera.
I would really appreciate your help.

Well, it seems to me that it looks the same. I am not an expert here, but it occurs to me that you can either shoot in 25p or de-interlace it from 50i. I think it gives the same quality but the latter is more complicated unless you have the Final Cut.
Here I got an intersting link on that matter:

.MTS via Log & Transfer - ISSUES

I am creating a project from AVCHD files. I have imported some via L&T directly from different SD cards. Other .MTS files have been given to me as data archives (ie: no AVCHD file structure).
When I open the L&T window and try to transfer the [archived] .MTS files (now residing on one of my external drives), they are grayed out. I assume this is because the file structure that can be read by FCP L&T is not present as it was when I captured from the cards.
So what are my options? Is my only option converting these files with Toast or a similar program?
Your wisdom and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!
cheers!

Hello,
I'm shooting with a new Panasonic HMC150 onto an SDHC Class 6 card. I'm having the same problem the above user is having even after copying the entire folder structure as it is shown on the SDHC card directly onto my hd. The Log&Transfer still won't read the .mts files. It reads through all the folders until i get to the stream folder containing the light grey .mts files which are un openable
I'm reading about this same problem from other users and can't seem to find any real explanation. Why do I have to buy toast when I'm supposed to be able to transcode to prorez 422 proxy from FCP7 log and transfer? I'm depressed and aggravated at this point and have resorted to heavy alcohol consumption. Any good advice will make me cry fermented tears of joy. Thanks.

Log and Transfer Issue with JVC Camera.

Hello all,
I am using JVC GY-HM100U and Final Cut Studio (FCP7.0.3).
I have installed JVC_Plugin1_0_3.dmg as Apple recommended.
However, when I connect SD card to FCP, I can not still use 'log and transfer' of FCP.
Do you know what's the issue is?
Thank you.

The warning sign pops-up as below.
"CLIP" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
I am recording in Kingstone 16GB Class 10 SD card.-I have formatted before using it.
I am shooting with 1080 60i.

FCP EOS 1D Mk4 Log & transfer issues

Hi,
I am using the Canon plug-in for some canon slr video footage for transcoding purposes.
Some footage imports with time code while other clips from the b-camera don't import with time code.
All clips have a similar file path and thm files sitting next to each .mov.
Anyone have ideas on where to look deeper into why there is a difference?
thanks,

Sorry Pyras, I'm an idiot ... I led you to the right place but then copied and pasted the name of the wrong thing to download ... Doh! Sorry.
You need:
XDCAM EX Log and Transfer plug-in PDZK-LT1 V1.20 for MAC OSX
PDZKLT1_V1.20.zip
Scroll all the way to the bottom. Apologies for the misdirect.
Andy
Ps Although, fwiw, you can actually use the XDCAM Transfer app to import too ... its an excellent standalone app designed for that function. If installed, to access it from FCP you can choose File > Import > Sony XDCAM... which will open up the XDCAM Transfer app, then you can use the apps interface to add your XDCAM EX media folder to it, browse, log and select the clips as needed, and then press "Import" to send direct to your FCP project :-)

PSE7/ACR 5.6 issue with Canon 7D raw images too dark - solution?

Whenever shooting both jpeg and raw images with my Canon 7D and uploading to PSE7 (where I use ACR 5.6 to convert raw) the raw thumbnails are a stop darker than the jpegs. When converting a raw 7D image, the exposure needs to be increased by a stop (this needs to be done whether or not jpegs are also shot). This phenomena does not occur with my Canon 50D using the same raw converter - the jpeg and raw image display the same exposure and raw images do not need the exposure increased.
I have noticed in the raw converter on the Camera Calibration tab that - for the 50D - the Camera Profile contains ACR 4.6, Adobe Standard, and the Canon camera profiles, whereas for the 7D the Camera Profile only has the Adobe Standard and the camera profiles. The converter does say 7D at the top of the screen, however, so the converter recognizes the 7D. Is there a 7D Camera Profile that needs to somehow be configured/uploaded, etc.? ( I did run CameraProfiles.exe)
The 50D and 7D are set up the same, so this is not an ALO or some other camera setup issue - I have done extensive testing in this area. Also, Canon DPP displays the thumbnails (raw & jpeg) and the raw conversion exposure correctly, which tells me that this issue has something to do with ACR 5.6.
Is this a setup issue in 5.6? Or, do I need to upgrade to PSE8 and ACR 5.7 or 6.1 to get around this?
Thanks for your assistance.
Ed

Update:
I installed PSE9, which comes with ACR 6.1, and the issue was not resolved. So, I downloaded ACR 6.2 - same problem: EOS 7D raw images (thumbnails and when opened in raw converter) are 1 stop under-exposed. As stated above, Canon's DPP doesn't exhibit this problem, nor does FastStone Image Viewer, only ACR. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks for any help.

Strange Import Issue with Canon 7D Footage Final Cut Pro X

I'm hoping some folks can help me here as I'm stumped.
I shot around 60 minutes of last evening with my Canon 7D. File sizes ranged from 500MB to 4GB. I imported from my 8GB memory card a 3.6 GB file and a 500MB file with no issue. I then moved on to my 16GB memory card, which was full with around 7 clips, and started importing. I noticed the import was going slow but I was also importing some audio from SD cards on the same card reader, which I've always done in the past, and figured it was just a USB 2.0 bandwidth thing.
I then got an error regarding the Import Failing (see attachment) but the file appeared to have imported without issue. Upon further inspection during the import however, I noticed any file larger than 1GB was showing as the PAL codec (after it imports it correctly shows H.264 but more on that later). I checked the 3.6GB file from my first import and it did not share this issue. While on the shoot I had backed up a number of these files to my iPad so I attempted to import them from there and althought he PAL codec was not listed, I did get the Import Failed error. I also tried a brand new card reader and a different Event/Destination the issue remained.
I've restarted, repaired permissions, and the issue remains. I have never encountered this error and imported a similar amount of footage and clip sizes two weeks ago. I'm stumped, has anyone else seen this?

I did some experiments this morning, and Richard's method worked. Thank you!
However, I didn't follow Richard's steps 2 & 3. When importing, I let FCP copy the files to the FC Events folder. It still worked. In step 1, I did not copy the .THM files to the new folder on my HD.
I did a second experiment that did not work:
1) Copy .mov files (only) from CF card to new folder on HD.---no .THM files
2) "Create Camera Archive" with FCP - Store new archive in its own folder on my HD
3) Tried importing from the new Camera Archive - This crashed just like before.
This tells me FCP is OK with importing individual media files to a FC Event. It seems to crash when it thinks there's a camera involved.
Later today I'll try to import some AVCHD files and see if it crashes on import. For AVCHD footage, you need to rely on FCP's "Import from device" capability. Those files need to be transcoded to be usable at all.
More later.

Multiple Issues With Canon Software For MX-922 on Mountain Lion (v10.8.4)

I have been in IT for 32 years as a Windows / Linux / UNIX Network administrator. I have yet to see as aggravating an issue as with the MX-922 and the software that is (allegedly) for the Mac. The O/S in use is v10.8.4 on a Mac Mini and WiFi is being used. There is no hard wired connection between the printer and the Mac.
At the onset, this printer will print docs created on the Mac. it will Scan providing the native Print / Scan (as found in System Preferences) is used. So we can rule out communication issues. On a side note it can be pinged as well.
However, note the following errors when using My Image Garden, Quick Menu and the Canon lj Scan Utility. The Canon Network Tool does recognize the printer (as it should since it is present).
The CD supplied with the MX-922 would not load, so I had to pull down the latest softrware from Canon's site. This was done on 15-AUG-13.
Again, any input greatly appreciated and many thanks!

Hi lgldsr,
Based on the error you are receiving, it looks like the software thinks you are still connected with a USB cable. In the IJ Scan Utility window, what appears for the Product Name?
You should see something similar to Canon MX920 series Network.... If not, click the dropdown arrow to see if other devices are listed here. Select the Network printer and attempt the scan again.
Check your print settings as well to ensure that the USB connection for your printer is not selected as the default device. In your Print and Scan window, verify what printers are installed. If you see multiple instances of the PIXMA MX922 (or MX920 series), perform a test print with each device to determine which connection is using the LAN for communication, and which is still set for the USB.
If this didn't work, or if you have any other questions, please feel free to Contact Us!

Log in issues with Win 8.1 lap top and Android dev...

To say that I'm annoyed is an understatement. First off was the issue that just surfaced with Skype on my laptop and PC. I would be logged into Skype and then for no reason it would shut down, not crash but shut down as though I closed it myself. I tried two wi-fi networks I have access to and it happened on both. Then I installed skype on a desk top and it happened again. Sometimes it would fire up and immediately shut down. Eventually I found a solution on line by unlinking my windows 8 account to Skype and the problem stopped happening. My belief is Windows forced an update on Skype that linked it to my MS account without telling me. Thanks MS, that was really unhelpful and it took me a week to fix.
Then I have tried logging into Skype on my Android phone, 10 inch tablet and Kindle HDX. Cannot connect to Skype, try entering some rediculously long code they email me but nada, it wont connect. What on earth is going on here as it used to work fine before MS got hold of Skype.

Problem solved as the issue was to do with the microsoft account. Ever since Windows 8 I've had many issues on other peoples laptops and my own just because Microsoft want you to have your Skype account linked into your windows account. Previously I've re-installed Skype from scratch in Win 7 type mode and solved the problem and with my Skype which I'd re-installed. I had to unlink it from my Microsoft account.
Clearly and unbeknown to me, Microsoft must have linked it during an update of Skype and that caused Skype to close immediately it had launched. Unchecked the link in Skype and problem solved. Why cant MS leave things alone if they aint broke !!!!!!

Log-on issues with NWBC

we are implementing NWBC with our receiving, audit and induct process and are having to re-log on when going between functions...any suggestions on what the issue may be?

Hi Vickie,
Are all those functions coming from the same system? Are they all classic dynpro or are they web dynpro apps?
How are you managing authentication for NWBC?
With a bit more info hopefully we can help you out.
Thanks,
