No Video Playback to Canon DV Cam

Hello I am using Premiere Pro CS6 and having an issue with video playback out to my digital video cam. Here are the specs and what I have done thus far to try to figure out the problem.
I am using a MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8
I am going out using a firewire into a CANON NTSC VR20 DV Cam.
I have gone into Preferences and Device Control and set to DV, NTSC.
I have tried using a jpg to see if that would show up in the camera and it does not.
I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the firewire, restarting the application and starting again.
Also, I am able to capture the video from my camera I just can't see it in the camera viewfinder (or record it) when I play it on my timeline. I can hear the audio on my timeline coming out without an image (just a black screen). I also tried exporting via tape and there is no image when I do that either, it just records a black screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what might be the problem that I am having? So frustrated! Thank You

I just discovered my videos from my Canon digital camera are not compatible with imovie or idvd so I need new software. Any ideas?

Hi. I just discovered my videos from my Canon digital camera are not compatible with imovie or idvd (I'm very disappointed about that.) The photos are stored in my iphoto and I can burn a dvd using idvd but there is no audio So.... I need new software. I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and my digital still camera is the Canon Cybershot These are home movies of my kids and the viedeos are precious. Thanks in advance!

Canon Cybershot
I can't trace a camera of that name. All that comes up is either the Sony Cybershot or the Canon Powershot!
Please confirm excactly what camera you have, and what version of iMovie.

Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???

Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???
ok, Got this Camera, like it, except for a few confusing issues. I was told, in order to playback HD video onto my HDTV Samsung, with an HDMI4 on the left side of the TV, all I needed was a HDMI to HDMI cable.
(#1) Shut off both TV and camera, plug the cable into this HDMI plugin, turn on the TV and Camera power supply, and it should recognize, then start paying.
Well, I did it both ways, (#1) shut off,then turn on, and (#2) I just inserted the camera's HDMI to the HDMI4 while both were on, and tried opening up the Samsung's' Tools >Inputs, etc, and still nothing!
Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
The second issue i'm having , is how to shut off the slow motion playback, when viewing the videos, which were not recorded in slow--mo, and it's frustrating trying to playback in normal speed, but instead it plays in slow-mo.
I'm not quite sure I'm recording in full HD...The payback is only 60i

Thanks grazie!
Well, i accomplished most of that and at least got the video on the display (Samsung Anynet HDMI3) But no sound!
I was also able to control the SX50 TV Display with my samsung remote, kool.
As far as the playbgack volume, I checked the camera, I did notice the OPERATIONAL SOUND was off, but when I played back the video on the camera itself, i did have volume.
On that subject of Slow motion videos, if i'm watching each video, then see one playing back in slow-motion, does that mean i actually filmed it in slow motion, without knowing? ( i can send it through Pinnacle Studio 15HD and speed it back up, but theres no background volume anyway) if i did unknowingly videotaped in slow motion, i bettter be more observant in the future.
I'm going to increase that ''Operational sound'' on the tools / Camera and try to playback to see if I have any sound.
I have a Yamaha 7.1 reciever, and TV, BD player,Time-Warner cable all is connected to this receiver....I was pushing all buttons for inputs to see which one would work for sound with video, but could not find any. Thanks, or grazie grazie!

Inadequate video playback from camera video

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC FX07 camera. I took some awesome soccer video and was puzzled that I needed Quicktime to view it on my computer. I was sad to see that the video playback was horrible - all audio and jerky video. The video plays fine on my camera. So my first question is: (1) what's wrong with video playback? My second question is (2) do I seriously have to pay $30 to upgrade to Quicktime Pro just to save MY own video to my computer? I am obviously reluctant to do this if the free version of the software does not even work correctly. My computer is basic but I've upgraded the memory and other videos (streaming, my canon camera etc) work fine so please leave off the poor computer specs reasoning. Some honest feedback would be welcome as I am hopefully just not doing something exactly right. Thanks in advance!

I found a sample video from this camera on the web and it's working for me in the newest QT 7.6. I tried also mplayer and VLC player - both are able to play the video, so try them. You can also use them to convert video to another format (mplayer is just player, but it's shipped with mencoder that can do it).
If none of the players is working for you, try to post somewhere small sample video from your cam - I'll take a look on it.

How do I transfer video files shot from my camera (Canon 5DMk2) which is in .MOV format into iTunes ?

how do I transfer video files shot from my camera (Canon 5DMk2) which is in .MOV format into iTunes ? My photos and video files are first imported into Aperture then synced with iTunes. However, itunes does not capture the Video files but uploads the phtos from Aperture during sync.
I tried dragging the video files into iTunes but it still would not be captured into iTunes ?
Appreciate any help on this. Thanks

Open them in Quicktime Player 10.1. Then, use Quicktime's Share menu > iTunes. That will create an iTunes compatible version and automatically load it into your iTunes movie library.

Video clip from a Canon A70 camera

Where to go?
Took a video clip with a Canon A70 camera and plug it in and iphoto opens but there's no photos to download because it's a video clip and the computer doesn't recognize the alien format.
Have a couple programs that came with the camera as well as media edit pro for editing etc, but when trying to find the file it doesn't show as available anywhere when searching for the file to import from or I'm looking in the wrong place, but figure it's still connected only through iphoto and it doesn't recognize any data in the camera.
Some info available from Canon that some files can't be accessed direct from the camera with osx so I'm obviously missing something and when it's plugged in so I need something else, it mentioned a different program to get the info or accessing the info from a card reader instead of the camera which doesn't appear to have any settings to change where or how it's meant to go. (Suggested possible in Canon's info with some cameras)
Any clarification whats the simplest (cheapest) method needed to make this work? to move it to one of the programs that can edit it etc. imovie 3.0.3 in my case or whatever else I have to eventually post it on a web page etc.
(can't afford to buy an actual video camera etc.)
I'm guessing I can't use the camera a web cam either, not that I thinking about it with lots of cheap junkers out there that'll clip on, but it still might be an alternative to buying one.
I'm a bit of an illiterate computer hack so don't know what I'm doing, but usually can eventually figure some stuff out.....

The finder preferences are still set to show external media, but the Camera doesn't show up on the desk top, it just keeps opening iphoto as selected in the system preference as to do when a picture CD is inserted,
Quitting iphoto doesn't make the camera appear on the the desk top and the camera doesn't work at all when iphoto is quit or connect with the usb, I trying to get the computer to recognize the video data by turning on the video, but camera won't run the video while connected and when disconnecting and reconnecting it just runs iphoto again, no matter what I do.
The camera sends a signal for the computer to recognize it as a picture CD and opens iphoto, (when you insert a picture CD - "Open iPhoto")
The question would be how to get it to recognize it as a DVD or other media as possibly possible in those preferences and what application to use. of which it appears I don't have anything available when looking at "open other application" or choosing "ignore" or "run script" which I have no idea what to do with.
Though presume that maybe I should turn off the picture CD preference off by choosing ignore to keep iPhoto from opening, but then it might possibly just ignoring the camera all together unless something else is chosen or I'm just wasting time on something that will never work......

How to import video files from Canon HG20 HD camcorder to iMovie 09?

Hi. I have no idea how to this. I have a Canon HG20 HD camcorder. It came with software that doesn't run on Mac. How do I import the videos I took in there into my iMovie? Do I need any special equipment? All I have now is the USB cable.
When I plug it in the computer sees it but the .MTS files cannot be clicked on and whenever I try to select a file and click "import" something bounces up and says it's not a camera archive.
Can someone please give me a step-by-step guide? I'm a confused newb here =)

There's no need to manually import files on a Canon AVCHD camera like that - iMovie should be able to connect and see them automatically.
Attach the camera, and set it to movie playback mode. Some cameras require that you connect them to power while you're transferring media. You may also have to choose "Connect to PC" on the camera menu itself.
Open iMovie (if it doesn't launch automatically). Click on the Camera Import icon to the middle-left of the window (or click cmd-i). YOu should get an Import window showing you the clips on the camera/card, which you can choose individually or import all.

Imovie video playback is all black

Although in the event view I can see all the thumbs of the video, when I actually go to play the video, its all black in the video playback. Anyone have any idea whats going on??? Its only happening for a handfull of events.

I have the same problem. With all the videos in my library. Some videos are from the Canon XH-A1 camera, which is standard HDV. The others are from my Panasonic HS-100.
It seems that all the files are encoded with Apple Intermediate Codec.

A/V settings - missing video playback settings

I am a new FCP user (5 months) but have not been having too much trouble. I have been on Avid for 5 years plus; Thursday I imported some Avid NTSC 720/480 footage into Final Cut (29.97 fps of course) - which displays successfully. But now I cannot return to the settings I need to edit material in HDV 23.98 fps projects. The video playback settings for HDV 24p 60i are now all missing/deselected. What is more, the program is crashing a lot. No sound, no video playback. Clearly we need to make different projects in different admin users for Avid product - but how do we get our settings back? Help!

There is no such thing as HDV 24p60i... it's one or the other. In fact, you should be able to import or capture that material, place a clip in any sequence, and FCP will ask you if you'd like to set the sequence's settings to match the clip's properties, and you simply say yes.
Where are you having the problem? Which camera was used? There is an "easy setup" for HDV cameras, but they are different a bit from camera to camera... Sony is different than Canon for example... might try those too.
Try trashing your preferences for FCP found in User/library/preferences/fcp user data folder. There are three red and white icon'd files there. Just trash them, and they will rebuild to factory settings when you relaunch FCP.

MacBook Pro won't recognize videos on my Canon Vixia HG20

I have a Canon Vixia HG20 and had no trouble copying video to my Mac laptop in the past. Now I have a MacBook Pro and when I connect the camera with a USB cable, the videos are grayed out and the computer doesn't recognize them. The videos play fine on the camera itself. Also, the still photos show up on the computer and transfer easily. I've seen older posts & sites (2008, 2009) that are related to this issue, but I'm not sure they apply anymore. Any new help for 2012 out there? Please explain in layman's terms, as I am not very technically literate. Thanks!

Go to the Canon Drivers and Software page here and download the March and April software updates for OSX Lion. This should help in transferring video.
There is also a firmware update for the camera here.

Sony HDV Walkman not seen for video playback

Hello.
Bit of a problem - have just taken delivery of two spanking new Sony GV-HD700E decks to use in our edit suites at work.
Capturing from the decks works like a charm in both HDV (at both 1080i50 and 25p) and DV-PAL (4:3 and Anamorphic). Playback controls are also working fine.
The problem is when I use 'Print To Video' - everything works fine in DV, but unfortunately the settings under 'Video Playback' for all HDV formats are greyed out - I can't get ANY playback in HDV to the deck at all.
I've tried all the HDV Device Control Presets without success (including unplugging the Firewire cables, restarting the deck and the Mac after each change).
The Sony site says the device definitely takes HDV in, so I was just wondering if it's a driver issue?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Jim
NB - I did plug the Firewire cables back in each time...

What that means is you cannot externally monitor HDV without a 3rd party card or box. You can, however, Print to Video with HDV. I've done it successfully with a Sony V1U with FCS 1 (FCP 5.1.4) and now with FCS 2.
If everything is connected and powered up in the proper order, it should work with the same Easy Setup used to originally capture the footage for the project.
It's very important that the camera or deck be connected to the mac via firewire and then powered up before the computer is turned on. After powering up the mac, launching FCP, and opening your project, make sure the timeline window with your finished, rendered/conformed sequence is activated.
Then, go to Print to Video, make your selections, select the 'Start Recording Automatically' box, and hit OK. Your sequence will do some additional conforming, and then your camera/deck should begin to record as the sequence plays out.
In addition, make sure other firewire devices and cables are disconnected during the Print to Video operation. I've done it successfully with other drives and devices connected, but it could cause problems with certain setups.

No video playback in premiere elements 12

No playback after a few mins of editing. Tried most of the potion in the adobe troubleshooting section (http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-digital-video-playback-premiere-2 .html) but never got anywhere. Most options listed are for Windows. I have an almost new Mac with all the system requirement to run Elements 12 . HELP, PLEASE

bjgarciac
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, but I do try to find common ground between Premiere Elements 12 Windows and Mac as a first pass at troubleshooting issues like the one your present.
1. What are the properties and duration of your source media?
Video compression
Audio compression
Frame Size
File Extension
Frame Rate
Interlaced or Progressive
Pixel Aspect Ratio
Brand/Model/Settings for Camera which recorded the video would help.
2. What did you or the program set as the project preset based on a match of project preset with properties of the source media?
3. What have you done in the way of edits after which you have problems? What is the duration of the TImeline at that point? Is this a multi track project?
Please explain "playback stops"
a. The TImeline Indicator will not move from the start of the Timeline when you press Play in the Edit area monitor?
b. Playback stops after playing back about few seconds of the Timeline content
c. Other
Do you have the Work Area Bar gray tabs set to span the whole content of the Timeline?
When you are playing back your Timeline in the Edit area monitor, does your Timeline content have an orange, green, or no colored line
over its duration?
4. Are you running a dual or single computer monitor setup? If you right click the Edit area monitor and select Playback Quality is there any
difference in the problem whether you set for Highest instead of Automatic?
5. For this type of video and this type of project, would you class this problem as
"it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before".
Thank you.
