Movie playback from Canon T2i is jerkey

Movies shot with my Canon T2i DSLR playback seems very jerkey when played from iPhoto'11 or iMovie'11. 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 in Windows media player!!
Anyone know if this is a known problem in Quicktime?

  • 1080p30 .mov files from canon eos 5DMarkII in Final cut express 4.0.1

    Hi everybody.
    i need some help to import HD vidéo .mov files from Canon Eos 5DMarkII in final cut express.
    The files is in 1080p30 (h264) like avchd but in the final cut configuration i have only 50i and 60i option in HDV and AVCHD
    Final cut necessity to do a render (5h for 15min on my G5) and the movement quality is not the same.
    Anybody have a idea to import Progressive files in final cut ?
    maybe they have an update with new avchd 1080p codec in configuration ?
    or i need final cut pro...?
    Thanks in advance
    and sorry for my english...i'm french

    There is no good solution for working with this camera in FCE. It's 30fps progressive. There is no true video format that is 30fps. This is something Canon was cobbled together for this stills camera.
    You can use MPEG Streamclip to convert the material to QuickTime using the Apple Intermediate Codec at 1920x1080. I think that's what it shoot. You should check the camera manual to confirm it shoots 1920 and not 1440.
    The problem is the frame rate. You can convert it to 29.97fps or to 25fps. 25fps conforms to the European frame rate, but I don't know how well Streamclip will do this conversion. You also need to make sure the material is not interlaced by Streamclip.
    The other problem is that FCE handles 1080 as an interlaced format, because for production it's supposed to be an interlaced format, at least in the formats, HDV and AVCHD, that FCE works with. You can set your sequence properties to have no field dominance, which should prevent it interlacing during compositing of any effects.

  • .mov file from Canon 5D Mark II file blurry in Timeline

    Haven't use FC in quite a while, so I'm a bit rusty.
    When I import a clip into FC, it looks fine in the Viewer, but when I move it into the timeline it looks blurry in the Canvas. It remains blurry even after rendering and even after exporting with no compression. The file is a .mov file from a Canon 5D Mark II. I tried exporting it from QT as a QT file with no compression, as well as just importing the uncompressed .mov file, but nothing works. I'm sure it's something simple.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Qosmio X870-1006X: fast movie playback from HDD

    hi, i'm new here and I want to asa question..
    I recently bought a qosmio.
    It was working great, until one day I tried to watch a movie from HDD.
    It was great and all but then I realized that the voice pitch is higher.
    It started to sound a little bit like chipmunk and the video play speed is faster than it should (maybe this is the cause of the sound problem))... but when I try too play a movie from a DVD disc it works perfectly fine.
    I tried every video I have in my HDD, and every single one has the same problem.
    Can anyone help me?

    In your case I would recommend checking the Player settings you are suing to playback the movie clips from the HDD.
    As additional option might be the usage and test of different player software; as mentioned by Keany, the VLC player is one of the best and freeware players you can use. It handles almost all possible file formats.
    In case this fast playback and high voice would still appear using different tools, I would recommend checking the HDD for possible malfunction.

  • Mac does not recognize CR2 files from Canon T2i

    First, I am posting in this forum because I need help for a problem that I think only experienced photographers could answer, even though I don't use Aprerture (or iPhoto).
    I borrowed a friend's EOS-1D Mark II and shot using the camera raw format. My Mac could see the files and even open them in Preview. I am using PShop CS3 on a Mac running 10.5. Because of this, I have to use Adobe DNG converter so I could open them in Photoshop. I cannot afford to upgrade either the OS or Photoshop right now.
    I decided to start shooting in the raw format with my EOS Rebel T2i. I formatted an SD card and changed the camera's settings to shoot RAW. When I moved the files to my Mac to open them, instead of thumbnail previews, I saw 'exec' icons, even though the file extension says .CR2. I tried to convert them with DNG Converter, and it said there were no recognizable files to convert. I changed the setting in the camera to save the file as both a RAW and jpeg file. The CR2 file was still not recognized, but the jpeg is.
    I thought installing "RAW Camera Update 2.7" from Apple's website would solve the problem. (Currently, "RAW Camera Update 2.1.2" is in my Library.) The problem is that ver. 2.7 requires either Aperture or iPhoto 9, or my Mac won't install it. I don't think the issue is with the 3rd party software, because the Mac 'sees' the image files taken with the Mark II, but not the T2i.
    I am stumped.

    I solved my problem through dumb luck, but maybe it will help other people who are still using CS3:
    I had used the version of Adobe DNG Converter for the CR2 files from the Mark II: version 5.4 for CS3. On a whim, I decided to try downloading version 6.2 for CS5. It is a stand-alone app, and if it didn't work, I could just uninstall it. or it simply wouldn't install.
    A funny thing happened:
    I ran the installer successfully, but when I checked my applications folder, it said I still had version 5.4, and a search for version 6.2 only showed the dmg. Huh. So I dropped a CR2 file on the icon of the version I still had, and it converted! Yay!
    The CR2 files still have the 'exec' icons, of course, but once the file is converted to dng, the thumbnails are there.
    Canon said it was up to software developers to make things compatible, and apparently the only difference between the RAW file for the Mark II and the T2i, for instance, is a tag buried deep in the file that IDs the camera it came from. I could have used the software that came with the camera, but it converts the CR2 straight into a jpeg, and I want to open it and make adjustments with Photoshop's RAW/DNG editor before opening it in PShop proper, to preserve the most information I can. I am mentioning this only because Canon's suggestion was to use their camera's software, so that is an option, but imo, it defeats the purpose of using RAW to begin with.

  • H.264 mov files from Canon 5D Mark II running at incorrect speed?

    What is causing the mov. files recorded at 25 fps Imported from a Canon 5D Mark II
    PAL to run at 2.5 fps on the Timeline of Premiere Pro ? And it looks like it.This all happened after the Firmware Upgrade 2.0.4
    The camera is recording at the right speed according to the LCD and it runs correctly in Premiere Elements ?.
    Message was edited by: Bob Dix

    Interesting approach., Canon seem to think it might be the camera ? Which I
    doubt because the mov H264 files are easily opened in Premiere Elements and
    work very well., I am reluctant to send it back as I think the Problem is in
    Premiere but, where ?

    Ps . The problem is not fixed, Canon Australia is looking at the issue, the Canon EOS 5 D Mark II is recording at 25 fps. They believe the problem is within Adobe Premier Pro ? Perhaps even a computer problem any ideas.

  • .mov files from  - Canon EOS 5D Mark ll  -  iPod Nano

    I am looking at purchasing both these items with their promise to

    I am wondering whether anyone can confirm that is a 1-step transfer
    into FCP, or is there fine print I need to read ? I understand going in
    that the video quality of the Nano will be what it is, but wonder also
    if anyone has experience with the video coming out of the Canon EOS 5D

    Let's get into a little more detail.
    The moniker ".mov" doesn't really mean much. It means "a movie that QT can play back" - a very generic statement. Saying that a movie is a QuickTime movie is saying nothing of the underlying codec. You might have a hundred movie files with the ending ".mov" and they could all be using different codecs like: Motion Jpeg, DV, XDCam, DVCPro, DVCPro HD, H.264 and so on.... So to answer the question, "...Does the fact that it is already an .mov file make it more of a drag and drop thing?" The answer is, No. Here's why:
    The 5D (and 7D) shoot a ".mov" file, yes. But specifically it's of the H.264 flavor. This is a burdensome codec. It's processor intensive. It's not meant for editing, it's meant for delivery. Furthermore, if there are going to be advances with it's native editability it's going to happen at the happen on hardware and software that are of the most current standards. And besides, that's still a big if.
    There are no current machines that have true drag-drop-edit (without pain) the raw Canon .mov files. If you're thinking your current computer can't handle "hi-def footage" then it most certainly won't handle the (HD) camera native files. That doesn't mean you can't edit the footage. You'll just be back to what's been mentioned before: transcoding. You can always transcode to the highest quality codec that your Mac can handle and edit in that format. DVCPro HD? DV, at least! Don't know - whatever your machine can handle.
    Summary: Native 5D camera files ---> FCP = painful, even with newest hardware/software. Rule is transcode. This is the only way people are efficiently working with this footage right now.
    Footage Quality - it's quite nice! There's tons of video all over Vimeo with it now. It's a great concept that will only get better. Snoop around here too. There are tons of sample footage on the web. It is highly compressed though. All that info, and with tiny files, the information is going someplace! Being discarded. Learning to maximize an environment's given conditions will lead to minimizing the camera's inherent artifacts.
    The next question to ask yourself is do you want this camera mostly for the HD movie mode or photography? The new 7D has some compromises compared to the 5D but has some things that the 5D doesn't, yet. Like framerates. The 5D is, for now, strictly 30P, while the 7D sports 24P, 25P 30P and 50P & 60P at 720P (instead of the full 1920x1200).
    Hopefully that answers some questions regarding FCP dealing with the native camera files. Other than that: 5D or 7D? Both have some worthwhile merits to consider.

  • Issues with .mov files from Canon 5d mk3 - since Mavericks upgrade...

    Hello,
    Ever since I upgraded my OS to Mavericks, Premier Pro has been refusing to 'see' .mov files in my projects. In the timeline the bits of .mov footage are appearing as red blocks, in the preview pane you get 'Awaiting media' then the red block of doom.
    So currently I'm having to convert footage from .mov to mp4v - then it seems to be OK. The upgrading to Mavericks could be a coincidence ... but before that I had no issues with PP.
    This is my system:
    Processor  2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
    OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB
    Memory  12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    I would love some help/ideas on this - it's doing my head in having to convert .mov files, and having to back convert stuff in my existing projects ... please help!

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

  • I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

    I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.
    Model Name:          Mac Pro

    Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
    Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
    A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component.  It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
    However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.
