New EOS Plug-in fcp7 cutting clips.

I have noticed when importing footage using the new EOS pluging for fcp, that it randomly cuts the length of your clips, a 3 min clip was cut to 25 seconds. Why is this happening? it does it randomly, Now youhave to check all your clips for Duration.
Any ideas?
Footage is 5d mk ii 25p > fcp 7

I've seen a similar issue before caused by a high speed but poor quality card reader.
Wasn't using the EOS plugin but seeing as you haven't had any other bites...

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.

How do I find and install the new Watermark plug-in?

I'm using Ps CC and have discovered that there is some kind of new watermark plug in but I can't find it, plus I can't find the plug-in installer. I already have my watermark designed, but I want to batch process addding it to multiple folders at a time. I've tried some action sets I found, but there must be some tricks I don't know. I did find one plug in (Adobe watermark 222) but I get an error message when I try to run it. Says it's only good for versions between 12 and 14???
Thanks.
I did successfully install the digimarc plug-in months ago.

Digimarc is a plug-in that places an invisible watermark into your images. I think what you may be referring to when you write new kind of watermark you may be referring to the Watermark panel for CS5, CS6 and CC which add your visible watermarks to image. There is nothing new about visible watermarks and IMO the panel is a hassle to use. Its easer to create an action that will watermark any size image and use it then maintain different size watermarks to be applied by some Photoshop panel or go through multiple steps in a panel. You can find that panel download here http://russellbrown.com/images/tips_downloads/Adobe_Watermark_222.zip and watch a video about it here http://av.adobe.com/russellbrown/Watermark_SM.mov

Plug-In icon cut off under Tools/Plug-In

Using Reader X or Acrobat X my plug-in is cut off if I've left Tools/Plug-Ins expanded where I can see my icons and then leave Reader/Acrobat (exit/ X) and open another document (links from our page). If I shrink Plug-ins down before leaving, this does not happen.
Anybody else run into this and is there a solution? I've tried every Preference I can find and it doesn't change that behavior.
Cliff

Hi, my friend
What's the process of your researching? Any solution to solve the issue of ICON was cut-off in Tools pane? I got same issue now. My plug-in cannot be shown correctly in Tools pane. I don't know how to deal with this issue. Any guide to me?
Thanks very much.

Front earphone plug does not cut out speakers or plays any sound

I have an HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7480n Desktop Pc. I upgraded to Windows 7 32. After install the front earphone plug no longer cuts out the speakers or plays any sound. I updated all the Realtek drivers. In Realtek HD Audio manager the green and pink front plugs are light color. I tried both the advanced settings to play back devices. Neither work. I had the front plug and the headphones checked out and both are functioning. I have been using the rear plug for my headphones and switch plugs with my speakers when I need them. I miss my front plug. Any Ideas?

Hi CanadaDry,
You probably just need to update either your audio driver or your chipset directly from the component manufacturer. I'd start with the audio driver first if everything else on your PC is working after the upgrade. But if there are other things not quite right like USB ports not working, then I would install the chipset driver update too.
Your PC has a Realtek Audio Device, so here is a link to the Realtek downloads:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
Select "High Definition Audio Codecs", accept the agreement, and then download and install the Win 7 32bit driver.
If that doesn't work, here is a link to the Intel 945P Chipset driver for Win 7:

I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

Best Settings using the new Canon HV30 and Final Cut Express HD v3.5.1?

My wife presents programs at schools and uses digital movies that we make and edit as one of her media materials. We want to present higher quality videos that look more film-like. I am hoping that the combination I described above will enable this improvement. In the past we used a Canon ZR20 and iMovie HD and put these on DVD's that were then played on a MacBook Pro with with QuickTime or iDVD hooked up to an Epson PowerLite projector.
I am now the proud owner of a new Canon HV30 and Final Cut Express HD3.5.1 (had FCE for a while so know how to use it). From my research, though, it looks like FCE will not be able to handle CINE MODE recording in combination with 24fps progressive frame rate [HDV(PF24)] which would allow the enhanced effect of the Cinema Mode. I can't justify the cost of Final Cut Studio 2 so I am hoping that the new [HDV(PF30)] will allow me to more easily edit in FCE.
Does anyone know if this is true and if so can please tell me the settings that I need both on the camera and in FCE to get the best quality movie that can played directly from my MacPro using QuickTime or iDVD or from a DVD in the MacPro using the iDVD player. I won't have the opportunity to always play the videos directly from the camera to an HDTV because of the school setting and the need to use a projector.
I know this is a lot to ask for, but I am sure that it will come up again and again as more people purchase this new camera. Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Lou Hosta

Without totally repeating myself with my post to MaccyLeopard, I haven't shot any footage yet. After doing a lot of reading I think I confused myself more than helped myself as far as settings go. So if you remember from my initial post I am asking for advice and guidance primarily on camera settings with the HV30 that will be used in a classroom (artroom) setting and then edited using FCE HD v3.5.1. I wish I was the type of person that could jump right into using a new piece of equipment but I like to get the advice of others beforehand. That way I'm not always questioning myself as to 'whether or not is this the best I can get'. I also am wondering if the 30fps frame mode would be the best to use in the classroom setting? From my reading, this mode should allow more light onto the tape allowing me to shoot in conditions with lower light levels that are typically found inside? Finally, is FCE HD able to edit this new 30 fps frame mode of the HD30? I've heard that FCE HD can't handle the 20 fps frame mode.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
Sincerely,
Lou Hosta

Efficiency Question - Cutting Clips

Efficiency Question - Cutting Clips.
So I was wondering if there is a better way to cut my clips that I am not using. Basically I often have large long clips of raw footage that I cut down to the usable segments. Each raw file may be over an hour long and have 100s of small segments of live commentary, often I find I am cutting out slightly to long pauses in the talking and other stuff before I have a clip ready to send to the main edit.
Anyway, often I am zoomed will in so I can edit, and I press C, make a cut.. then make another a bit further up, press V, click on the segment I just cut out.. press delete and then click on and move the rest of the raw clip to the left to bump up where I made the first cut, often needing to zoom well out and then back in again to continue editing.
Is there a better way to do this? So I do not need to zoom in and out all the time... is there a way to delete a chunk of video form the sequence and have the clip automatically "close the gap" for me?
--Thanks

I would take the Source Clip into the Source Monitor.
Mark an In Point ("I") where the good content starts...and an Out Point ("O") where the good content stops.
Hit "," to Insert it to the Sequence.
Back to Source Monitor and repeat for the next section of good content in the same Source Clip..
No gaps . Done
Then ..if necessary...I would play thru the Sequence and do Trim Edits at the editpoints.
Many different ways to "skin the cat" at Trim stage.
Alternatively in the first part:
I would take the Source Clip into the Source Monitor.
Mark an In Point ("I") where the good content starts...and an Out Point ("O") where the good content stops.
CTRL-Drag to the Program Monitor.

Will my 70-300 Canon Zoom lens + a 2x multiplier function on a new EOS T3i

Will my 70-300 Canon Zoom lens + a Canon 2x multiplier function on a new EOS T3i?

Basically.... no.
As far as I know, Canon 2X Extenders (teleconverters) cannot even be fitted to any of the 70-300mm lenses. The Canon Extenders all have a protruding front element that prevents them from even being attached to quite a few lenses. They can be fitted to the 70-200mm zooms, as well as the prime lenses 135mm and longer.
A third party 2X would physically fit onto the lens. But.... Most 70-300mm are f3.5-5.6 aperture lenses. With a 2X on them two stops of light are lost to the teleconverter, so the lens/TC combo becomes and effective 140-600mm f7.1-11 lens. Your camera will stop autofocusing with smaller than f5.6 aperture lenses (only 1D-series and 5D Mk III can still focus at f8, even they would fail to focus at f11). Your could still manually focus, except the viewfinder will be quite dim to try to do so.
And, frankly, I wouldn't expect much in terms of image quality. A strong (2X) teleconverter on a zoom lens is often not a great combo.
My advice would be to save up for a longer focal length lens... Something I use a lot, which has good image quality and focuses very well, even in combination with a Canon 1.4X teleconverter, is Canon EF 300mm f4 IS lens. There is also the Canon 400mm f5.6 lens, but it lacks IS (so plan on using a tripod or at least a monopod). If you prefer a zoom there are the Canon 100-400mm IS and Sigma 120-400mm OS or 150-500mm OS. I hear that Tamron is developing a new 150-600mm VC lens that's supposed to be competitively priced, but I don't know when that will be available or have any advance info on it's performance or image quality.
Besides these options... get closer to your subjects. That's often going to give better results, anyway, since with longer focal lengths you'll be shooting from a greater distance, it's much harder to get a steady shot, plus there often can be various atmospheric effects that reduce image quality too.

Transitioned from an older G5 Pro to a new iMac. My Final Cut files are on a 2T WD external HD. When I try to boot I get a "General Error 41" and files do not load. Took the WD to the Apple Store and tried it on one of their iMacs...it works OK. Ideas?

Transitioning from an older G5 Pro to a new iMac. My Final Cut Express files are on a 2T WD external HD. When I try to load a project to the iMac I get a "General Error 41" and the files do not load. Took the WD the Apple Store and tried it on one of their iMacs...it works fine. The problem seems to be in my new iMac, other WD's with different files load OK. Any ideas?

Hi
Can it be so that You try to boot a G5 (Power) Mac from one external hard disk - then try to boot an INTEL Mac from same external Mac.
WILL NOT WORK - It's not just the Mac OS Extended formation that plays a part here - they have to be formatted differently to be bootable on each system.
I don't think there is any solution to this AT ALL.
When You format a hard disk.
• Select Partitions
• Under the graphic representation to the left there is an Alternative button
Here You select if it's supposed to be Bootable on a Power CPU or INTEL-CPU
No other possibilities.

With PS 7 create new Place two objects on the new file then you may cut copy and paste Cs2 create new place two object on the new file Cut is not available how does one cut and paste in new file

With PS 7
create new
Place two objects on the new file
then you may cut copy and paste
Cs2
create new
place two object on the new file
Cut is not available how does one cut and paste in new file

If your using File>Place then photoshop cs2 creates what's known as Smart Objects, which photoshop 7 didn't have.
In photoshop cs2 you can rasterize the smart objects and that should make the Cut function available.
Select both placed layers, right click on the area to the right of the tumbnail and select Rasterize Layers.
If in photoshop cs2 you to Help>Photoshop Help and look under Layers>Smart Objects, that should give you a good overview of what smart objects are.

I have just bought a brand new iMac plugged it in and nothing, black screen any suggestion, not a great start to my first mac experience

I just bought a new iMac, plugged it in and nothing, black screen any suggestions and the apple support function is no help, real glad I bought the apple care plan and you can only use that if your machine turns on!

If you bought the computer at an Apple Store return it. Let them know you aren't happy about your start in the Mac world. If you bought the computer online and have an Apple Store nearby you can take it there even though you didn't buy it there. Note: if going to an Apple store go online and make an appt with the Genius. Stores tend to be busy so this will give you a time to know you can walk in and pretty quickly get attention. Just walking in with a dead computer you may have to wait a while.
No Apple store nearby? No problem, call AppleCare and they'll take care of you. Ask for expedited return & shipment and again, let the technician know you are new to the Apple world and not happy. The last time I brought home a dead computer I not only got a replacement right away but I got an Apple gift card for my inconvenience.

Lenses for the new EOS 70D

Good afternoon, How do I know which lenses "fit" the body of the new EOS 70D? I also own the EOS Rebel T2i and those lenses do not fit the 70D body. Thank you....frustrated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The 70d is a cropped sensor, so any EF or EF-S lenses will fit. Your Rebel lenses will fit. The only modern Canon lenses that won't fit either of those cameras are the new mirrorless lenses EF-M.
