Need help with Canon Vixia HF S200 and FCP settings looks awful, help!

Shot footage on Canon Vixia HF S200 HD at PF24 looks great in camera. Used Wondershare video converter to go from .MTS file to MPEG4 file. Brought into FCP 6.0.6 now image has a lag time or slightly blocky/mosaic when people or camera moves; the sound is good. What should my sequence settings be? Did I miss a setting in Wondershare? I've never used this camera before and my boss needs me to impress our new school superintendent...help!
Andrew

Thanks Jerry, that helped alot. Read my latest post please:
...Pro Res 422 for a 4 minute project using FCP 6.0.6. It's a Mac Pro 2x3Ghz Quad with GB 800 Mhz. The project is almost done but it is freezing up during playback. Plays for 20 second then playhead freezes then jumps ahead. I've copied timeline sequence 2 times and created new sequences and that does not help. If anyone has suggestions I'm all ears, thanks.

Help with Canon VIXIA HF M31 4353B001 HD Camcorder

Hello, there
I bought this Camcorder, " Canon VIXIA HF M31 4353B001 HD "
and I'm new to this HD Cameras
I'm trying to figured out how to edit the video from this Camera,
the manual says that it produces
video file format:
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
others says that file format is:
AVCHD
Whatever that is, but?
what type of file should I see when I take a look in my memory card in my PC and
what do I do with those files?
I heard Premiere CS5 has trouble editing these files?
Please, help
I'll really appreciate it
Freddy

Copy the entire contents of the camera's card to your hard drive.
Use Premiere Media Browser to import the files into your project.
Do this:

Canon VIXIA HF S20 and FCP interaction

Middle school, 13 year olds create a 2 hour video yearbook every year. We have won the California Student Media Festival 5 of the last 6 years in the yearbook category. We are not experts but do shoot with 4 cameras and use multiclip. It is amazing to see what 13 year olds can do when you raise the bar with FCP. My question is related directly to FCP and its interaction with cameras. We are looking at purchasing 4 new Canon VIXIA HF S20 cameras, using flash memory (we have the Canon Vixia 30 that use tapes now). I have read some on the Vixia HF S20, some on this list, some on the internet in general. We have used canons, have hundreds invested in batteries and are familiar with Canon. We are limited to about 1200 per camera. So, any terrible issues I should be aware of with the Canon Vixia HF S20?

Hi-
Yes, you are correct. File transfer (and the required conversion from AVCHD to an editable format) can be faster than real time, in fact much faster with a fast computer and raid storage.
When dealing with event/news acquisition and delivery, and every second counts, then file based is the clear winner.
The down side is the reliance and drive space and stability, and lots of both. And the discipline/organization required to run a backup program that is both effective, searchable and ready to be pulled into service at a moments notice,
When a student comes to you and says: "Mr. Peach, the disc drive that holds all our class projects isn't mounting and is making a funny clicking noise!" are you going to be able to swap in a backup drive with the required media on it?
That"s my point about switching to file based acquisition. There's no tape to fall back on. Because we have switched to XDCamEx and Red production, we had to add another crew member we call the "Data Wrangler" whose job it is to make sure all files or organized, accessible and backed up (in our case to several backup locations).
You demonstrate that you are both technologically knowledgeable, and creatively knowledgeable (with your string of awards) and I just wanted to highlight side of the tape to file based transition that is often overlooked.
One more comment - I wouldn't worry about using the technology of the "future". If that were the case, I would recommend you buy a bunch of Kodak Zi8 cameras, edit with iMovie '09 and deliver via You Tube.
Hope this helps and I'm sure you'll make the right decision.

Need expert help with Canon Vixia HV 30 downloads

I have a Canon miniDV Vixia HV30 high def camera. The new apple macbook (aluminum) does not have a firewire to import the video from the HDMI terminal. How can I get the video from the camcorder into the laptop??

I have the exact same issue. Didn't even think to check when I bought this a few weeks ago--I can't believe there's no FireWire port. I've had a FireWire port on my Apple notebooks for five years (two previous ones...)
Apple claims that I should be able to import footage via a USB cable from my Vixia. lol. The computer doesn't recognize it. I'm going to Apple Store tomorrow, and bringing two cameras, USB cords, etc. If they can't work this out, I feel like they owe me another computer...
Anyone else have an opinion on this?
Thanks

I own a Canon Vixia hf s200 and final cut pro 7. How do I convert my video?

As this will show you, I am not very good with computers...
When I open final cut pro it asks me to choose my sequence settings. Which one should I choose?
It has settings such as DV50 NTSC 48Kh but I have no idea what that stands for.
Also, I have the iSky video converter and I convert it to final cut pro but does it matter how high of quality I make it?
The video goes in, but it always tells me that it does not match my settings and asks me if I'd like to change it but when I do, it goes a little screwie.
Thank you so much for the help!

That camera records either MPEG-4 files or AVCHD. Which did you shoot?

Need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook.......

need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook? removal of cmos, resetting laptop, using cccleaner, windows password recovery and hiren's was noneffective, any help is appreciated. thanks

Hi,
As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords. Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

Canon Vixia HF S10 and FCE4 - Log & Transfer

Please help. Have been trying for hours and can not find the answer on line, at least one that works. I have a Canon Vixia HF S10 and every time I attempt to "add clip to queue" I receive a red octagon that states "Error: No Data". I am using FCE4, or trying to at least. Does anyone out there know how to resolve this issue?

Hi -
Verify that you are using FCE 4.0.1.
Open the Log and Transfer window.
Click on the little gear shaped icon towards the upper middle of the L&T window
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/L%26TPrefs.jpg!
Select Preferences from the drop down menu.
When the preference window opens, set the AVCHD Plug-In audio format to Plain Stereo.
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/L%26TPrefsToPlainStereo.jpg!
Now try connecting the camera and see if you can import your files via Log and Transfer.
If there are clips on the camera memory that are recorded with different settings, this can cause problems. The clips need to be all HD clips.
Hope this helps.

Help with if statement in cursor and for loop to get output

I have the following cursor and and want to use if else statement to get the output. The cursor is working fine. What i need help with is how to use and if else statement to only get the folderrsn that have not been updated in the last 30 days. If you look at the talbe below my select statement is showing folderrs 291631 was updated only 4 days ago and folderrsn 322160 was also updated 4 days ago.
I do not want these two to appear in my result set. So i need to use if else so that my result only shows all folderrsn that havenot been updated in the last 30 days.
Here is my cursor:
/*Cursor for Email procedure. It is working Shows userid and the string
You need to update these folders*/
DECLARE
a_user varchar2(200) := null;
v_assigneduser varchar2(20);
v_folderrsn varchar2(200);
v_emailaddress varchar2(60);
v_subject varchar2(200);
Cursor c IS
SELECT assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, trunc(f.indate) AS "IN DATE",
MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "LAST UPDATE",
trunc(sysdate) - MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "DAYS PAST"
--MAX (TRUNC (fpa.attemptdate)) - TRUNC (f.indate) AS "NUMBER OF DAYS"
FROM folder f, folderprocess fp, validuser vu, folderprocessattempt fpa
WHERE f.foldertype = 'HJ'
AND f.statuscode NOT IN (20, 40)
AND f.folderrsn = fp.folderrsn
AND fp.processrsn = fpa.processrsn
AND vu.userid = fp.assigneduser
AND vu.statuscode = 1
GROUP BY assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, f.indate
ORDER BY fp.assigneduser;
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN c LOOP
IF (c1.assigneduser = v_assigneduser) THEN
dbms_output.put_line(' ' || c1.folderrsn);
else
dbms_output.put(c1.assigneduser ||': ' || 'Overdue Folders:You need to update these folders: Folderrsn: '||c1.folderrsn);
END IF;
a_user := c1.assigneduser;
v_assigneduser := c1.assigneduser;
v_folderrsn := c1.folderrsn;
v_emailaddress := c1.emailaddress;
v_subject := 'Subject: Project for';
END LOOP;
END;
The reason I have included the folowing table is that I want you to see the output from the select statement. that way you can help me do the if statement in the above cursor so that the result will look like this:
emailaddress
Subject: 'Project for ' || V_email || 'not updated in the last 30 days'
v_folderrsn
v_folderrsn
etc
[email protected]......
Subject: 'Project for: ' Jim...'not updated in the last 30 days'

Is imovie compatible with canon vixia M50?

Is imovie compatible with canon vixia M50? I have the latest version OSX 10.8.2

I cannot find it on this list:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
That does not mean it will not work, but if you haven't purchased the camcorder yet then I recommend limiting your search to those known to be compatible. Better yet, limit your search to manufacturers that specifically indicate iMovie compatibility.
Panasonic does; I am not certain about Canon.

Help! We have a form with more than 200 entries and when I looked at it yesterday it had one! When you download the form to excel they all show up. However, when I added another record today it disappeared. Can you tell me what's happening? I've been using adobe forms for 2 years with mass response feedback and have never had this problem.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.

Hi, After I installed Mac Lion, I have problem with the tamil font while typing in Neo Office. Especially with the letters "e-Ex: தெ" and "ai-Ex:தை". Please help me I know its not bug from Apple It shd be some problem in neo.

Is your problem due to the keyboard or to NeoOffice Characters? You have to change probably the font. Not all fonts are supporting all Unicode sets. Which font you have in your NeoOffice set to write Tamil? Try with Arial Unicode MS for example.
Are the letter e-Ex and ai-Ex right in your posting? If they are right, how you inserted these letters in your posting? By copy and paste or by typing? If by typing, your question is related to NeoOffice. Probably you should reinstall or update NeoOffice? Or switch to OpenOffice?
