Print to Video FCE4.01 Canon HV30

For some reason I cannot get the Print to Video function to work with my HV30.
FCE captured the video perfectly, but when the Transcoding to HDV process completes the camera records nothing.
Any ideas?

There is no easy setting for Apple Codec. Are you using HDV 1080i60?
There's most likely a problem using the external drive and communicating with it. What I'd suggest is exporting a self-contained QuickTime Movie to the internal drive. Disconnect the external drive. Reimport the the export file and place it in a sequence. Trash your preferences and reboot. Then try printing to video the single file. Make sure you render everything and mixdown the audio before you print to video.

  • Quicktime - New Video Recording using Canon HV30 - Codec?

    I'm using Quicktime Pro 7.4.1 with a Canon HV30 connected via firewire. In Quicktime preferences pane, the HV30 is the video source with "Device Native" as the Quality setting. Though, I can't see a preview in the Quicktime window while recording, it does appear to record footage. When I stop the recording, it says that I don't have the codec to view the footage and sends me to the Quicktime plug-in page on this site, but I have no idea what I need.
    Considering some of the codecs (if not all of them) cost money, I'd rather not buy something that won't fix my problem. Anyone have any ideas?
    EDIT: Oh yeah, the camera is set to HDV 1080i60 video standard. When I switch the camera to SDV, the Quicktime preview returns and everything works as expected.

But the error dialogue box appears immediately.
    Other information - I am using macam.component for Quicktime and the PS3 eye works perfectly with Macam.

    Has anyone received this error before?
    I have not, but I do not use PS3 eye. If it is a "UVC" (usb video class) device, it should work with any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later _without additional software drivers_. Some unnecessary drivers can conflict with your Mac's software.
    If desired, you can remove the file macam.component from /Library/QuickTime and restart Mac to see if the PS3 eye can work with QuickTime without the additional driver.

  • Premiere Elements 10 - can't play back imported HD video (from Canon HV30) in Quicktime or FCP

    After playing around with the trial version, I eagerly purchased Photoshop Elements 10 Premiere for its ability to edit video from my Sony Cybershot camera (Final Cut Pro would not do this) and for its ability to import video from my Canon HV30 HD camcorder (Final Cut Pro is really fussy on this).
    Also liked the option of importing without breaking in to individual scenes.  FCP and iMovie won't do this.
    So, after the first import of a tape, I discover that the imported file will NOT play via Quicktime, and when I imported that file into Final Cut Pro, I got the eternal circle icon which lead to a crash.  
    What's going on here?

  • Print to Video, Playback Output Video for 1080i60 Codec?

    Could someone who is using Final Cut Express 4.0 please check the characteristics under Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, as to whether FCE 4.0 provides a “Playback Output Video” capability.
    In FCE 3.5, the pull down menu: Final Cut Express HD / Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, “Playback Output Video” is not available, ie “None”.
    I have been using the “Print to Video” command within Final Cut Express 3.5 to export my edited video (NTSC 720x480) back onto my Sony mini DV TRV70 camcorder for archival purposes. This is usually something I do after burning discs using iDVD.
    I’m about to purchase a Canon HV30 hi-def camcorder, and in the same way, would like to archive my hi def edited videos, ......that is, after burning some DVD’s, I want to archive the entire 1080i60 version back onto tape using the Print to Video command and Rec Cntrl function of the camcorder. However, the “Playback Output Video” feature of FCE 3.5 for 1080i60 seems to be “None”.
    Appreciate any info as to whether FCE 4.0 has this feature, or are there any other ideas out there that would accomplish the same objective.
    Thanks in advance,
    BoBo

    Hi Michel (Bonjour)
    Thanks again for responding, and providing a number of good references for Blu Ray burning and burners.
    I recently “captured” a short Hi Def, 2 minute bird feeder video from my Canon HV30 with Final Cut Express HD 3.5, and placed the imported segment on the Time Line viewer. All of this with FCE set in the 1080i60 AIC codec.
    With no editing nor transitions nor effects, I then did a “Print to Video” of this Time Line segment, and recorded it back onto the Canon, positioning it on the tape directly following the original recording.
    I then rewound the mini DV tape, and played back the two videos from the Canon into my high definition Samsung via HDMI. I couldn’t tell the difference between the two video samples, …….the original recording compared with the copy that was captured by FCE and re-recorded back onto tape.
    I then took this same Time Line segment, exported to a QuickTime self contained movie (sequence), and then dragged that QT sequence into iDVD (Version 7.0.3) widescreen theme pane. It took about 30 minutes to process and burn that same short ( ~2 min) segment to a DVD using my iMac 2.1Ghz G5 w/ standard Super Drive.
    I then played back that DVD disc on my HD Samsung through a standard DVD Player (no up converting capability) and could see a good rendition of the video sample, but fuzzy in spots especially during slow panning, …..a good video but NOT certainly the Hi Definition quality that I saw during playback from the Canon mini DV tape playback.
    A question for you experts……is the degradation seen during DVD playback caused by the iDVD software not producing a 1060i Hi Def rendition, ….or is the DVD ok and the fact that I did not have an unconverting or Blu Ray DVD player the reason for the lack of non hi-def quality from the DVD?
    Michel, …..I have not as yet purchased Toast 10 with the HD plugin. Would you expect that I would see an improved version, ….a nearly Hi Def rendition if I had used Toast 10 instead of iDVD? Or do I have to go the distance!…….that is, Toast 10, a Blu Ray burner, and Blu Ray Player as well!…..to see a version of my 2 minute sample as good as what my Canon HV30 playback is showing me?
    Once again, Thanks in advance

  • Connecting a Canon HV30 camcorder vai a thunderbolt port to a new imac

    Hi all
    I was using imovie 11 with my old imac (purchased Summer 2008) using the firewire connection to transfer DV/HDV video from my Canon HV30 camcorder (tape). I just bought a new 27 inch imac with the thunderbolt ports and now I am stuck as there is no firewire
    The camcorder had  a 4 pin firewire output so I have tried the following
    Used the original camcorder cable (Firewire 400), converted to firewire 800 with an adapter and then used the Apple firewire to thunderbolt adapter
    Used a cable that converted the 4 pin firewire to firewire 800 and then used the Apple firewire to thunderbolt adapter.
    In each case, imovie is not seeing the camcorder.
    I know that my camcorder is not listed as being supported by imovie but has worked fawlessly on my old machine running the same software and operation system (Mountain Lion)
    Any ideas - thanks
    Kevin

    Hi epjustin,
    What I said in the previous post (Oct 9 2013) works for me but I can try to explain in more detail if that helps.
    Firstly. remove the battery or the ac power connection from the camcorder. - VERY IMPORTANT
    Turn on the Imac and login
    Attach a thunderbolt to firewire 800 adapter to the IMac thunderbolt port - you can get this from the Apple Store
    Now attach a firewire 800 to firewire 400 adapter to the the end of the previous adapter. You should now have the appropriate firewire 400 connection so that you can attach the original firewire cable that came with the camcorder.
    Now connect the camcorder cable to complete the connection between the camcorder and the computer
    Now connect the power supply or the battery to the camcorder and turn on the camcorder. Set the camcorder up so that it exports through the cable as normal
    You should now be able to detect the camcorder in imovie. If you can't see the camcorder in imovie, go into system report from about this mac and you should see an entry in the thunderbolt section relating to the connected camera.
    As I mentioned above, turn on and disconnect the power from the camcorder before disconnecting the camcorder from the Imac or turning off the Imac
    If you can't get things to work, you may want to try connecting the camcorder to another computer as there is a chance that the board is fried if it doesn't work
    Please let me know if you need any further help

  • Canon HV30, FCP and ishowu... get get them all on the same page

    Looking for some help with FCP, ishowu and a Canon HV30...
    I’ve been trying for weeks now to get video captures using ishowu to work with video from the Canon HV30...
    The video I’ve brought in from the camera is:
    1440x1080
    29.97
    HD 1080i60 compression
    The video from the camera looks great and plays back with no issues... Neither the video nor the audio needs to be rendered...
    What I need help with is finding the proper settings for ishowu...
    The only issue I can think of is that I’m working on a 15 inch MacBook Pro, meaning a 1440 x 900 display...
    Any help would be appreciated...
    Thanks
    Jeff

    Then it depends on how you captured the footage with ishowu. If you used the DVNTSC preset, then create a DV sequence in FCP and import the clip. If you want to bring it into the same timeline as your other footage then you'll have to capture it using the same settings in ishowu... if that's possible.

  • Canon HV30 Capture Setup

    For information only (not a question). Several posters have complained about the capture of HDV from a Canon HV30 in FCE. Their complaint is that when connecting the camera via firewire only a few seconds of video is captured before ‘End of Tape’ is encountered and capture stops. Here is my solution. I have a very modest system (iBook G4 using OSX 10.4.11 with a 1.33GHz processor). I run FCE 4.0.1 on the internal hard drive and capture the HD video to an external 1TB LaCie Big Disk extreme+. I use the Easy Setup: Format HD; Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 and then use File > Capture to capture video from the Canon HV30 HDV camera*. The critical factor is to connect the external hard drive (LaCie in my case) to the system using the USB 2.0 connection and the Camera to the system via Firewire.* I have imported several one hour tapes (60GB each) without any problems. New clips, of course, are produced at camera scene changes but the entire tape is captured. My system runs behind the camera about 65% when transcoding the video to the Apple codec. I reconnect the external drive via firewire after the capture for editing. Hope this helps someone get connected.

    You mentioned the size limit issue. I have an hour-long video shot on HD on the HV30. I capture it on FCE (no problems on my end with this) and it ends up a 30 GB file before I can even start editing. I give the same tape to my friend with a PC and he pulls out an unedited ~ one (1) GB file. Is this size difference a PC vs Mac thing where I'm dealing with the Apple Intermediate Codec and he doesnt't have to, or am I missing a simple conversion step somewhere between capturing, editing and exporting that I need to do in order to end up with a smaller movie file? I've found that trying to edit and export a 30GB simply takes too much time and I'm sincerely hoping there's a way to end up with a movie still HD without loss of resolution. Or is there some other reason I'm not thinking of?

  • Canon HV30 Returns Video Format provided by capture device is not supported by this application

    I am trying to stream our church services using Flash Media Live Encoder 3 using firewire and a Canon HV30 Camera.
    I am not understanding how to use my firewire based high def Canon HV30 Camera as the video source device for FLME 3 ? When I hook everything up I get the error "Video Format provided by capture device is not supported by this application". The spec sheet says the HV10 should work.
    Is there a work around for this problem.
    In Him,
    JMb <><

    The error is coming because the camera might be giving HDV format, which is mpeg-2 encoded. FMLE needs raw format to work with. Please configure the camera to give DV out to work with FMLE.

  • How do I print to video  HD footage captured from HD Canon HD20?

    So far I've not seen any solutions on the discussion threads for those of us who are unsuccessful in printing to video via firewire back to our HD cameras for archive or display on a HD display via HDMI.
    I have combed the posts in several places for settings, and believe mine are correct. FCP
    seems happy to export. My camera is obviously not recognized so that it can record.
    This seems to be a serious, major, and wide-spread flow in FCP's current work flow, or
    am I "unclear" on the concept? Thanks in advance! Apple folks... are you there??

    Well, I just BOUGHT this camera yesterday (HV20) and...well...I haven't printed back to tape yet. Don't think I plan to. I'll be making DVDs and outputting to higher end HD formats...like DVCPRO HD or...or...well, that's probably about it.
    I don't know what the issue people have with Canon is. I have a GL-1...never had an issue shooting and capturing with it. I pulled the HV20 out of the box, switched it to 24f mode, shutter to 48. Shot for 10 min, captured it without an issue (HDV 1080i60 Firewire Basic) and even captured ONE clip...the camera was started and stopped a dozen times.
    But, I haven't printed to tape. I just wanted to say that I have had a positive experience with the camera.

  • Premiere Elements 13 & Canon HV30 - Video Import/Capture

    I CAN connect my Canon DV30 to MS Movie Maker via firewire with no problems at all.
    I've just bought Premiere Elements 13 but I CANNOT get it to recognise the camera, and cannot import any video :-(
    Does anybody have any experience of using Premiere Elements and a Canon HV30?
    I need help PLEASE!
    Thx

    Just found out DV capture has been removed from v13!
    The workaround, as per the link (Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Capture video), would then not play any sound - which I believe is another problem of v13 (No  sound on playback  with Premiere  13)
    That's it for me.  The software is going back to Amazon. 
    Premiere Elements 13 is not going to work for my DV capture!!!!!

  • Importing footage from my canon hv30 video looks slow why?

    Footage done in canon hv30 HD looks a bit slow audio is ok. I try putting case in none and it looks just a bit better. somebody?

    This camera doesn't actually shoot 24fps. It shoots 24 over 60.
    "You can change the camcorder's frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film." (From the Canon web site)
    This means the tape is actually recording 29.97 with pulldown added to make up the difference.
    Bottom line: the media is 29.97, what iMovie calls 30.

  • FCE4 settings for Canon HV30 project

    Hi! I have recorded two DV tapes on my Canon HV30 using the "cine" setting recommendation, all HD and exporting HD/DV via firewire to my Mac. I am now testing the capture of the footage using the HDV – Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 but changed the frame rate to 25 in the window which altered the setting to 1080i50.
    Is this accurate? I want to export this project to iDVD when completed.

    From page 38 of the manual:
    From page 102 of the manual:
    It records at 1080i60. That is what you should be using.
    The 24 progressive "look" is recorded on tape at 1080i60, it is not the actual frame rate of the tape.

  • Questions - Canon HV30/HV20 users

    After reading several reviews I’m thinking of purchasing a Canon HV30 camcorder to do some HD recording. Yet I am proceeding with caution - HD files are huge and I’m wondering in a generally way how my - intel 24” 2.15 GHz - RAM at 3gig iMac will perform? Will it perform real time video captures etc. with this tape based camera? I am a patient sort of person and don’t mind waiting for things to process but is it even reasonable to use this setup for HD.
    2nd Question --
    – I use iMovie 6 and Final Cut Express 3.5. I have several large capacity FW 800 external drives connected to the iMac I would like to use with this camcorder.
    However there's always unexpected things like I have read the Canon HV30 uses FW400 port and does not like any other FW devices connected when capturing video to the computer – So does that include the FW800 port as well?
    Perhaps a few of you have some experience with the HV30 or HV20 - I’d like to hear your thoughts on what to expect - would it be a good choice. What are your brags and nags about your HV30?
    I know that's subjective but I'm looking for good video quality - ease of editing and having the ability to save the edited movie back to tape. Latter when bluray media and burners get more reasonable I may burn the edited movies to disk.
    Thanks for any thoughts,

    Hi Ron,
    Sorry your having problems - If you live near an Apple store or a friend that has latter hardware/software on their Mac try the HV30 at least you wold know if somethings wrong with the cameras FW port or not. Perhaps you can get the camera exchanged. I have head from quite a number of folks their HV30 work fine with Macs, iMovie an FCE.
    I went ahead and purchased the HV30 it should arrive early this coming week -
    One thing - As I mentioned before in other posts to this board I do have a Canon gl2 and it is very touchy about any other FW devices connected most times the computer will not even recognize the camera. Try the HV30 as the only device on the FW port. I'm using iMovie 6.0.4 and FCE 3.5 I'll post how things go - you have got me a little worried though.
    My 2 cents - best wishes,
    Steve

  • Project won't print to video

    Hi,
    I have FCE2. I'm trying to print my project to video. I've used both Sony and Canon Mini DV camcorders. When I hit "Ok to start recording media onto deck", the project plays back ontop of a black screen on my computer and my camera is rolling, it says "rec", there is timecode moving, but when I play it back, nothing is there. It does not record anything.
    When I do the same thing in iMovie, it DOES work! I can see what I'm recording in the camcorder and it DOES print to video and it DOES playback after I'm done.
    What am I doing wrong in FCE2?
    Thanks,
    Squibb

    Please give full specs for your system, computer, drives, devices, how everything's connected, settings on the camera in record mode, settings in FCE. Trash your preferences, reboot, connect everything correctly, launch the application. Does it see the camera? If not, do not proceed to PTT.
