Problem workflow mxf canon xf 100

Hi,
I have shot a documentary with a canon xf 100. I could import the different mxf clips with the browser in Ppro CS5.5.2 but I cannot find a solution to work properly. I need to merge all the different mxf clips from each canon CONTENTS folder into one big clip, like if I had one big clip for each tape/card. For that, I created a new sequence from the different mxf clips and then I nested this sequence to get one unique file that looks like a unique clip. OK, but then, when I try to work from that nested sequence and to use it on my timeline, I cannot work with two mono tracks any more (I have set my project as mono, beacause I used two mono microphones). Everything I import from a nested sequence to the timeline becomes one stereo file.
Then I tried something else. Inside Ppro, I merged ("merge clips") my nested sequence with another sound track, wich is in fact the full sound track I exported in a wav format from
the same nested sequence. At first, everything seems to be OK : I can work on my timeline with that merged clip, and I get two mono files. ...BUT as soon as I close and reopen Premiere cs5.5, one of my two mono files becomes empty. I can see the two mono audio file on the timeline but one of them has no sound at all!
Any idea ? thanks.

Thank you Stephen, but I personally prefer to edit with one big file per card (or per tape) I can scrub easily, instead of having hundreds of small files with numbers (like mxf files), especially when I have hundreds of hours of footage. To help me, I can always make a detailed shot list.
So I tried to do like this ; sorry for my English and if I repeat certain points, but I hope it could help other people :
on the timeline, I imported all the mxf clips coming from one card,
then I calculated a new wav stereo file from all the files,
then I made a nested sequence with all the mxf clips, but without the original sound tracks (only video, not audio),
then I merged that nested video sequence with the new wav stereo file I have calculated ("merge clips"),
then I could import that new merged clip in the source monitor and edit on the timeline with two mono tracks.
But I met two new problems for a good editing:
First of all, as I already described, after I closed and reopened premiere pro, one of my two mono tracks on the timeline became empty: you can see the segments on the timeline but there is no more sounds inside. It is clearly a bug of ppro. I’ve read different posts with audio problems on mxf files imported into ppro.
So what I did is that instead of calculating a new stereo wav file from my original sequence, I calculated two mono files, one for each channel. Then I imported those files into ppro and and I merged it with my video only nested sequence. I, then, could edit properly with two mono tracks even if I closed and reopened ppro.
But the problem is that now, if, for any reason, I become out of sync on the timeline between video and audio segments, there is no more red indications to tell me the number of frames out of sync. And of course, you cannot use the functions of ppro to re-synchronize ("move into sync, slip into sync"). And this is a huge problem (strangely, a nested sequence keeps that function but it has only one audio track).
I sometimes wonder how the programs are developed. Mxf files is supposed to be a step ahead, but it becomes in the real editing, at least with ppro, two steps backward. From what I’ve read on the net, many people like me lost a lot of time trying to find a solution for editing mxf with ppro, and even if I decide to work with two mono tracks as I described, which is long and painful with hundreds of hours, how can I be sure I won’t meet another audio issue later on.
It is clear that the developers of ppro are not editors or directors. All I want to do with my mxf files is the basic of the editing. I want a car I can drive properly, not a car with air conditioned, that has no brakes.
So if they hear me : could you please update ppro so that we could edit properly with mxf files? It means :
1/ inside ppro, merge all the clips from the same card into one clip, that we can edit with two mono tracks if we decide
2/ keep the out of sync function for each audio channel with that merged clip.
Of course, if there is a workaround, I would be happy to know it.
Thanks.

I have a problem connecting a canon Pro-100 injet printer to my iMac oS Mavericks.

I have purchased a Canon Pro-100 inkjet printer which I am trying to connect to my printer. The software on the disc was not compatible with OS Mavericks so Canon sent me the updated software. Still won't work. I get an air message which I have sent to Canon. They say it is an Apple problem which has occurred a lot recently. Aplle online chat support could not help. Has anyone else had this problem. I've got an expensive printer I can't use.

I know I have to give up on the printer and scanner- but I am going to try to find something to keep my tablet going for awhile.
Are you actually reading the responses that people are giving you?
1. Your printer will work with Gutenprint support, possibly will work with 10.9 drivers.
2. Epson has a scanner Yosemite driver for your scanner.
3. And Wacom has a driver for your tablet.
You have no reason to be that miserable, all things considered.

Print Problems on new Canon Pixma 100 Pro

I have a new canon pixma 100 pro pinter and want to print the best possible prints. Can someone point me to a detailed description of how to print in Aperture including the use of icc profiles (the difference between using icc profiles and printer managed printing, how to turn off color management in a printer driver. Also difference between Relative Colorimetric vs Perceptual settings in the print window. What is black point compensation and what does it do?

You are asking for print management 101, you really should get a book like Jeff Schewe's or a video:

Workflow with a Canon XF 100

Hey, I recently got a Canon XF 100 and Ive been import the footage by copying the .mxf files from the card to my hard drive then imoprt it to PP. Just wondering if any one has a better workflow?

I'm considering an XF100. What kind of interface do you all recommend to get the files or folders from the card to the workstation hard drive? I think I read about card readers and UBS cables, but no HDMI or FireWire or capture direct to OnLocation.
And is it fully compatible with PP, AE CS4?
BTW, you used the Canon Utility to copy all the files at once, Stephen. http://canoncanada.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/28728/~/importing-clips-from-a-cf- card-to-the-computer-(xf105%2Fxf100).

Converting my VHS tapes to a DVD using a Canon Elura 100 camcorder

I'm new to iMovie and this discussion board
I am trying to convert my VHS tapes to my powerbook G4 using iMovie 3.03. I've connected the wires correctly, I've tried it with a tape in the camcorder and without a tape. iMovie shows the camera connected, but I do not see the video from the VHS tape on my laptop. I changed the AV DV to "on" like the instructions stated.
#1 do I need to upgrade to iMovie 6?
#2 Anyone know of the common problems associated with this? Specifically with the Canon Elura 100
G4 power book Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Karsten!
Thanks for the response. Yes, I am able to import from my camcorder/miniDV to my laptop. I've also made sure I don't have any other devices connected except for the power cord on the camcorder and my latop, which shouldn't matter right?
I have set up my camcorder to my VCR and tried to record on my camcorder, but that did not work either. I did not check in the manual if I had it connected right, or the settings right with this process. I'll try again and check with the manual. Also, I'm going to get iMovie 6 sometime this week, maybe that might make a difference?
Thanks again

Canon Pro-100 Paper Feed

New Canon Pro-100. Prints great. The problem: the paper feed in both the manual and the rear feeds are REALLY touchy. It will just declare that there is no paper when there is. I haven't found any clear differences when it works and when it decides there's no paper. I did find the posting on the rear vs. manuel feed confusion and helped some but it's still pretty picky. Any thoughts? I'm trying to run a small business with this thing and it's making my life very difficult. Thanks in advance.

I just rock the paper side to side slightly and sense for a firm bottoming. I generally don't have trouble with the rear tray. The manual feed is more tricky since generally it is heavier paper. I can feel when paper is bottomed. Once I developed that process I rarely have a problem unless I am printing multiple prints in manual feed and don't wait for all the mechanisms to stop moving.

I am using Windows 8.1 and Prem Elements 13 and Elements is not seeing my recordings on a CF Card The camera is a Canon XF 100 recording in Mpeg2. I have been told it is a codec clash?

Premiere Elements 13 Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit).
From what I have read, the Canon XF100 uses the MPEG2 Long GOP video compression, however it uses a MXF file extension (container/wrapper format).
Premiere Elements (any version) does not support MXF files.
Based on existing information, you would need to convert the MXF file to another format which is supported by Premiere Elements.
Apparently lots of the MXF converters available online.
Have you been there and done that?

Can't print to my Canon Pro-100. Get error message:There was an error opening your printer. Printing

Can't print to my Canon Pro-100. Get error message:There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be availableuntil you have selected a printerm and reopened any documants.

Your printer driver is having problems.
Resetting Photoshop's preferences sometimes clears it up (by removing previous print settings that the driver is supposed to read, but sometimes fails at).
Otherwise you'll have to work with Canon to figure out why the driver is misbehaving.

Canon Elura 100 and Firewire 400

I had been happily using my Canon Elura 100 with my FW400 port up until I upgraded to Leopard. The FW400 port is home to my Lacie 250GB FW 400 external drive and prior to upgrading to Leopard I had no problem sharing the port when I needed to transfer video form my camera. Now that I have upgraded to Leopard the port recognized the external HD but not the camera. I tried uninstalling all cables and rebooting...to no avail. I tried daisy chaining the camera by using the extra FW400 port on the back of the Lacie...again to no avail. I am extremely disappointed as it should "just work".
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I found another reference to this camera from someone who couldn't connect when they upgraded from OS 10.2 to OS 10.3. Apparently the issue was caused by QuickTime. He got the connection working again after following the steps in KB 301852, Final Cut Pro: Restoring a DV device connection in QuickTime 7.
Remember to do the last step "Download and install the latest version of QuickTime for Mac OS X."
Give that a shot and see how it goes.

Canon LiDE 100 does not respond after wake from sleep

I have a Canon LiDE 100 flatbed scanner. I constantly put my iMac to sleep and only ever shut it down once every few weeks.
When the computer wakes from sleep the scanner does not respond. Image Capture lists the scanner in the device list but reports the following error;
"An error occurred whilst communicating with the scanner"
I have to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in for it to work (or restart the computer, both always work).
Since I only moved to the Macintosh in July I have no idea how to uninstall drivers to give myself a fresh start and the scanner does not come with an uninstall utility.
Any suggestions on how to fix this little problem?
Thanks.

I am going to respond to my self and say I am nuts.
Canon does not seem to have any uninstaller for this scanner on their site:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=351&modelid=17104
Which is rather odd since they have installers. this is different from most of their other older scanners. But if you just plugged in our scanner and things worked in OSX, which it should have, then you should be OK.
However I can confirm that others see this issue (like my dad) and here is the official Canon response to the issue:
+Dear XXXX:+
+In some cases, coming out of sleep mode may not properly reinitialize+
+the USB bus on Macintosh Operating Systems. Unfortunately, the only+
+work around when this happens is to restart the computer.+
Of course this in not exactly true as logging out and back in fixes it.

When I print a photo to my epson printer, it comes out larger than the original photo - so the photo prints beyond the borders. Tried readjusting all sorts of things but nothing helps. I had this same problem with my Canon. any ideas?

Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store. They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site?
I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far. Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not. In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number. Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake. But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was.
Is Canon like that with other problems, as well? Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience?
I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral": EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!

Hi Danny. Thanks for replying.
I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years. And, yes, it is the latest version. Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT? WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account. Yet, I NEVER placed those orders! WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM???
Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place! But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you!
"Award-winning" support??? And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS??? The OSTRICH?
Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!

Iphoto 9.6.1 deleted printer paper choices (Canon Pro 100)

Hello,
I fear the iPhoto 9.6.1 update may have other issues with printers beside freezing, and would appreciate any suggestions -- otherwise, I'm passing on some information.
Using a MBProRet 15" with OS X 10.10.2 and a Canon Pro-100 hardwired connection (not wi-fi), I have installed iPhoto 9.6.1 yesterday and, today, in addition to suffering some printer freezes, I no longer have all the Canon paper choices that were available with the Print command pre 9.6.1 -- fine art paper, platinum, luster, matte, and all the others are gone, deleted, just not there any more in iPhoto. The Canon paper choices are still available in Aperture 3.6 (and even MS Word 14.4.8!). I have not installed any printer software updates recently.
Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I had spent some 5+ hours earlier today re-organizing my library which will be lost if I restore the library from TM. Since I can still print quality paper from Aperture it's not a total disaster, but ... an aggravation.
Hopefully this isn't a sign of what's to come with the New & Improved Photos. Is there a permanent Opt-Out available?

Can't control Canon Elura 100 DV Cam in PPro CS4

Hi,
I am comparing Final Cut Express vs. Premiere Pro CS4 trial, and I cannot get Premiere to control and import from my DV Cam, which is a Canon Elura 100. Has anybody been able to use this camera? My system is a MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard.
Thanks!

If the camera does not have firewire out, you are out of luck.
Firewire is required to capture.
