Smoothcam with AVCHD from a Canon Legria HF200

Hi all,
I've been working with FCP 7 and the source footage from my HF200, trying to get the shakiness out, but I can't get the desired result.
I'm using Toast 10 to convert AVCHD to Apple ProRes 422. The camera records on 1920x1080i 50i PAL.
I have footage with the camera's stabilizer on and off. Working on the footage with the camera's stabilizer off, applying Smoothcam over a clip, the picture goes fuzzy on the corrected parts.
Does this sound familiar ?

I am having the same problem with AVCHD and the SmoothCam filter . In Final Cut all looks well with the filter in place but when I send to Compressor then to DVD Pro the shaky footage comes back. I did a previous post but have not received any solution yet. I bet there is someone out there who has found the answer we just need to get lucky for him / her to answer our prayers.
Regards
Fred

Capturing with Premiere Pro CS5 & Canon Legria HV40

Hello everyone,
I have an issue trying to capture footage from my Canon Legria HV40. My desktop operates with Windows 7 / 64bit and I use a firewire port when attempting to capture from the DV cassette on the Canon Legria HV40. After opening Premiere Pro 5 (not a trial version) I connect my camera via all the correct ports and open the capture window in the software. After setting up all my preferences for the capturing process the software recognises the camera and I am able to operate the camera from my desktop (fast forward, rewind, play etc...).
The issue starts at this point. When i press "Tape" or "Play" then "Record" to start the capturing process the camera kicks into action. However the software does not record anything from the camera.
Does anyone have any suggestions or have they come accross this issue before. Any help would be appreciated.

MKoffy Hi,
It works just fine here, same set up, but with CS5.5.2 not older version.(5.5.1 or 5.5 did not work), other contributers spoke of a "LEGACY" driver?, I think Harm Millard he may know more than I do. We are PAL, the camera obviously works, make sure you have camera set at 1920 x 1080 i.And the same setting in PP, however PP should automatcally set that for you.
In fact when Exporting to Tape it is amazing and starts the camera with out having the record button executed., it (the HV40 is Anamorphic at 1440 x 1080 (the limitation for Pro tape) and will record at Progressive, the pixels are rectangle not 1.0 , but the output is i). Do not save clips to another DRIVE.It is best in the RAID set up. according to Canon Specs it records at HDV 1080/50i , 1080/25i (PAL) These settings must match the set up in Premiere Pro 5.5.2 exactly.I do not set IN or Out points, it might have been a good thing to stripe the tape in the first place as it will recognise the Indexing numbering better that way.
I must add the quality of the Export even to Blu-ray astounded me. Nearly as good as the Canon 5D Mark II 1920 x 1080p but, that was from a CF card.
Good luck
Ps. Frankly the Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 surprised me when it recognises all that when it went to work. Because when you used Premiere Pro 1.5.1 everthing was manual, well nearly.

Hi, I have a version of CS4 on my Mac. I can not longer open Raw files with it from my Canon 5D. I never had problems with it in the past. What can I do?

IMovie and Importing video AVCHD from the Canon High-Definition HG10

iMovie 08 does not let me import high definition video (AVCHD) from the Canon HG10 camcorder. Could you let me know how I can do this or what program can do it? iMovie 08 and the Mac do not recognize the high definition video (AVCHD). Thanks for your assistance. Best, Joe

Your camera is on the supported list, and if you will search these forums, you will see that many people are using it.
iMovie recognizes AVCHD, but only from a supported and connected camcorder.
If you prefer not to import from your camcorder, you can buy a program called Voltaic. It takes about 12x realtime to convert AVCHD to an editable format. You can import directly from your camera much quicker.

Add Media in PremiereElements 11 from a Canon Legria HF G10 AVCHD cam does not work

Hi Everybody,
I need help as I didn't find anything in the FAQ concerning my problem. I use a canon Legria HF G10 camcorder (AVCHD).
Importing videos into Premiere Elements 10 is OK
But after upgrading to the version 11 of Premiere Elements, I do not succeed to get any video from my cam. The camera does not appear in the field SOURCE althoug my MAC OS did recognize it. And of course I get the message that no compatible device was detected.
Does anybody have experience with such a case or know how to help me ?
Thanks in advance
François

If you Copy the files w/ full folder structure, as Ann indicates, you do not have to have that particular card (or camera's HDD, if it has one), attached to the computer. You have those files on your HDD, so you can use that card for other shots.
PrE does NOT Copy the media files, when you Import them. Instead, it only creates links to where those files were located, when Imported. If they are still on the card, and it is removed from the computer, PrE cannot find those media files. If they are Imported from the Copies on the HDD, and are not Deleted, Moved, or Renamed, PrE can follow its link to them, as needed.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro/Prelude CS6 not working with AVCHD from Canon HF G10

I just tried switching from Final Cut Pro 7/X to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have not been able to get Premiere Pro or Prelude to work with AVCHD footage from my Canon HF G10. The system runs Mac OS X 10.7.4 on a 3.4 GHz quad-core iMac with 16GB of RAM and 10Gbit/s Thunderbolt RAID for video storage. Adobe Updater ran yesterday and installed CSXS infrastructure updates which did not fix the problems.
After importing several short (less than 5 minutes each) 1080p30 clips into Premiere Pro, I can scrub over the first few seconds of a clip but afterwards it stalls or mixes in frames from the beginning of the clip. Rendering 30 seconds of video does not complete in reasonable time, i.e. takes more than 5 minutes. I figured I would try ingest the footage with Prelude and am running into the same problems. Scrubbing does not work, only the first few seconds from a clip are available. When configuring Prelude to transcode on ingest, I am getting "Import XMP failed" errors. I already spent several hours trying to figure this out. In the meantime, I finished the project using Final Cut Pro X :-\
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Niels.

Any chance this gets fixed soon? I'm shooting with an AF-100, and at this point I'm still using Final Cut to transcode my footage so I can have audio. I've also noticed the video jumps around even when it does have audio. Prelude has been extremely problematic for me, and it doesn't have a way to bring in clips that returned errors upon importing, I have to write down the clip numbers and bring them in individually. I've also tried just dropping the file structure from the card straight to the hard drive. It's a huge problem, and is keeping me from making the switch fully from FCP 7.

Import from camera canon legria HV videos to imovie ?

I would like to import from my camera canon legria HV videos to imovie, but my macbook air is not recognizing my camera, i go out from my camera with firewire and go in the macbook air by usb. My camera is on and the tape is on "Play" .
Is the problem, that i go in by USB ?
thx

Hi,
looking at one of my files format is
Apple MPEG-2 SD Camcorder Video, 720 x 576 (1024 x 576), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Left, 48.000 kHz
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Right, 48.000 kHz
So it seems that imovie re-packed my movies to mov but keeping MPeg2 as video codec.
Then I don't understand the point of this. If the codec used is still MPEG2
why not just the file as it is ?
What I don't like is that import / export take times even when it is (seems) useless.
I used to use tools like VLC and avidemux to do some change on the video.
but it is now impossible as they won't be able to open the mov files
anyway, If I understand valuable replies from both of you I have no other choice.
thank a lot both of you

Premiere elements 10 doesn't recognize avchd from my canon camcorder

I have a canon HG20 with Hard Disk but premiere doesnt recognize it and so I cant import video to the organizer or directly to Get Media. Only the flash memory SD of the camera recognize the photos. Im new with premiere elements and Im not sure what it is correct to do. I hope from some help
Thanks

Have you ensured that you have the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements?
When you started your Premiere Elements project, did you ensure that you selected settings that precisely match your video and audio specs? For instance, if this camcorder shoots in 1920x1080 with 5.1 audio, did you ensure that your project was set up for Full AVCHD 1920x1080 5.1?

AVCHD using a Canon Legria HF G25

i cant seem to see any files on the camera is there a problem with MacOS mavericks or is it speedgrade
as when the cam is connected it see nothing even when i point it at the folder. it cant seem to see the AVCHD file

SG does not support AVCHD footage.
SpeedGrade Help | Supported file formats
The workaround it to use the Media Browser in Premiere Pro, Place the footage on a Sequence and then use the Direct Link to SpeedGrade feature.

Canon legria hf200

my camera is not recognized by osx 10.6; how can i import my .mts files? With what application?

This camera is on the supported list, so you should be able to import directly from the camera.
You can import from a USB card reader, or directly from the camera via USB. If you import directly from the camera, the camera must be plugged in (not batteries only).

Working with AVCHD from a Panasonic SD60

Good afternoon,
I've noticed that when I import a video (AVCHD, 1080i50) that the resolution changes to 960x540 when certain effects are added whilst editing, is there a way to avoid this as I would like to be able to publish my movies in full HD?
Many thanks
Phil

Connect your camera to your computer through USB.
Make sure the battery charger is connected to the camera
then start FCP6.0.2 Go to menu>file>log&transfer.
It should work now.
iMovie can be of help too.
Good luck,

Import from Canon Legria HR200 to iMovie11

When I connect camcorder CANON Legria HF200 through USB in PC connect mode, it is not possible to use "Import from camera" to import video files from camcorder Canon Legria HF200 iMovie 11 because only Insight camera appears. Canon Legria HF200 is recognized as USB external device. I use 32GB SDHC card FAT32 format. The same result is when I put the card in SD reader, or when I copy the folder to HDD. What am I doing wrong?

Hook up the usb cable to the camera with the camera in "play" mode. Then plug the other end of the usb into your computer. The screen on your camera should then ask to what do you want connect the camera. Choose "computer/printer." Then boot iMovie and press import. Most likely if iMovie then asks you which clips you wish to import, everything should work.
However, you are correct - the camera is not listed as a supported camera.

More trouble with AVCHD (seems a little different from others though)

I am trying to "log and transfer" my video from a Canon Vixia HF200. The video is in AVCHD format. It pulls up in the browser of the Log/Transfer just fine. Then when i add a clip to the queue section the Status thing spins for a second then just freezes. It then says "1 clip queued - idle." where do i go from here? It never completes the task or gives an error until i try to click the pause button, only then does the little "!" symbol pop up. Does anyone know why this isn't working? or what i'm talking about? i'm trying to explain my problem as best i can.

I too have had Log and Capture issues importing AVCHD files from a Sony Produo Memory stick using a card reader. If the files are less than 4 minutes they import normally. If I try a file even as long as 6:49 m:s it seems to stop loading although the grey progress bar has progressed all the way across. The end result is the file is not transferred. and it is reported as idle. I have chosen the AIC and plain stereo preferences as I have referenced your ( Tom Wolsky's) book on FCE4. I am importing to a Capture Scratch disk on a fire wire external Western Digital 1 Terabyte HD. I even copied the entire Memory card successfully onto the WD HD as per the book but couldn't convert it with the Log and Capture process. I don't know what Perian is.-Joe

Canon Legria HF M406 Compatable with imovie?

Hi!
If someone could give me some basic advice it would be very useful. I am looking at buying an HD video camera and would like it to work as seemlessly as possible with apple and iMovie. Will iMovie import video directly from a Canon Legria HF M406? My other chioce of camera is the Panasonic HDC-SD90, and as far as a i know this works well with iMovie, am i correct?
Thanks in advance,
Nina.

Above is Apple's list of compatible camcorders. The HFM41 is listed, so your camcorder should work fine.
That is, if you have iMovie 11. It records in AVCHD so if you are using Imovie 06 there would be a problem. The panasonic is also a fine camcorder.
So both camcorders seem to be ok for iMovie 09-11.
You will, of course, need to make your decision based on cost and what you are using them for. I have found that for basic uploading to the web, say YouTube, any modern camcorder pretty much works.

Capture Canon Legria HF R26 footage with Adobe Premiere pro cs5

Hello,
I need to capture some footage from Capture Canon Legria HF R26 using Adobe Premiere pro cs5.
I have a usb cable with the camera. I would like ot know if captirng via usb is a good option or if there are other better options .
Cheers m

Premiere can not 'capture' footage from any source using a USB connection.
Capture from tape into Premiere requires a firewire connection (DV & HDV).
For your camera, you should use the USB connection to copy the media files
from the camera to your hard drive and then 'import' the footage into Premiere.
