Syncing video from canon (mov) vs panasonic (avchd) cameras

I'm about to purchase either the Canon Powershot SX210IS or the Panasonic Lumix DMZ-TZ10 camera. I previously had a Canon Powershot SD750, which recorded video in .avi. I noticed that when my iphone would sync with iphoto, it would sync videos taken by my iphone back into my iphone photos application, but it would not sync the .avi video from my canon. It's been my assumption that the newer canons, which record video in MOV (H.264 + Linear PCM) would sync into the iphone photos app just as the iphone videos do. Is that assumption correct? The panasonic records video in AVCHD Lite / QuickTime Motion JPEG. Would either or both of those formats import into iphoto and subsequently back into my iphone?

I'm about to purchase either the Canon Powershot SX210IS or the Panasonic Lumix DMZ-TZ10 camera.
I looked at those but then settled on the Sony DSC-HX5V instead of the Panasonic. Have a look.

They'll import into iMovie for editing and can then be exported into an iPhone compatible format for syncing and viewing on the iPhone.

  • Cannot sync videos from iTunes to iPhone 5S

    I recently got an iPhone 5S 32 GB.  I restored it through iTunes from a backup of my old iPhone 4S 16 GB.  Since the restore, & after an upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, I can no longer sync videos from iTunes 11.4.0.18 to the iPhone.  Previously I had been syncing a number of these videos to the 4S for years.
    Here's what I've always done:  I simply connect the iPhone to my PC via a lightning cable.  Next I click on the "Movies" button at the top of the window.  Then I check the box to sync the movies that I wish to transfer.  Finally I hit "Apply."  The sync starts, but the movies never make it to the phone for some reason.
    When I click on "Movies" under the iPhone on the left side of the screen, I see a listing of the movies that should have synced.  They are listed there, but they are kind of greyed out, & they have a dotted circle beside them.  This is very puzzling because I have over 17 GB of free space on the phone.  I can also confirm that the files are on my hard drive in the location shown when I right-click & hit "Get Info."  I can also successfully sync the very same videos with my iPad mini.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    UPDATE:  I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes.  For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem.  Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
    That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

  • What are the settings for capturing video from Canon HV20

    Hi All,
    I want to capture video from Canon HV20 with Premiere Elements 11. What kind of settings should I use to capture the video with full information?
    Here is what I did:
    1) According the manual, I went to Capture settings panel (Edit > Project Settings > Capture) and selected HDV as capture format, because my video is at high definition.
    2) In addition, I checked "Capture to Timeline" and "Split Scenes by cotent".
    Are these settings enough?
    Thanks.

    Sounds reasonable, using Add Media/HDV Camcorder, but....
    Have you reviewed the Adobe write up on Premiere Elements 11 DV and HDV capture firewire into it.
    http://help.adobe.com/fr_FR/premiereelements/using/WS5CDA0F91-60F1-4b79-ABF6-E9E75F498DB2. html#WS2AF26FB5-4C63-4c46-9DB3-7249558F6528
    The mention of Get Media instead of Add Media makes me wonder if the video's instructor was demo'ing from Premiere Elements 10, but...
    Major factors have always included having Premiere Elements project preset set correctly to correspond to your camera settings...For HDV data capture firewire...
    NTSC HDV HDV 1080p30 or PAL HDV HDV 1080p25 depending on if you are targeting a NTSC or PAL area where frame rates are typically a consideration.
    I had not done any DV or HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements. But, Premiere Elements 11's take over of the project preset setting would encourage me to encourage you to verify your project settings before the capture.
    There are probably many more, but the following is online discussion of one Canon HV20 issue
    http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/316970-video-capture-problems-HV20-camcorder-is-control led-but-no-video-capture
    If you experience difficulty with the HDV capture fireware into Premiere Elements 11, you might consider what some others have done in this regard, that is, use HDVSplit for the capture firewire and then import the split (.m2t) clips "Add Media" into Premiere Elements 11 with the appropriate HDV HDV 1080p (1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9) project preset.
    Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
    Thanks.

  • With ios 7 how can I add videos from a shared photostream to my camera roll?

    When I am viewing a shared photostream that I subscribe to I am able to select photos and add them to my camera roll (essentially saving someone's shared photos to my device).  Now that you can add videos to shared photostreams with ios 7 I was hoping to be able to do the same with videos.  However, when I view a shared vieo and attempt to save it to my camera roll it is not an option.  Any ideas on how to do this?

    To save photos/video from the photo stream to your camera roll, select it, click the share button, and select "save to camera roll". It will remain in the photo stream as well, until you delete it.

  • Downloading avchd video from Canon XA10 to iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011)

    I have a mid 2011 iMac running Mountain Lion. I typically download HD AVCHD video from my Canon XA10 camcorder by inserting an SD card from the camera into the side of the computer. When I click on the SD card, thumbnails of the video footage appear on the iMac and when I click on a thumbnail, the clip opens in Quicktime. Now I can view the clip. This is all fine.
    Here's my question: when I look at the Quicktime movie inspector, the following appears:
    The original footage is 1920 x 1080 since I shoot at the highest setting on the camera (MXP).
    But the "Current Size:" above in the inspector is 1736 x 977.
    Does Quicktime degrade the footage? Is there a way to preserve the full 1920 x 1080?
    When I import the footage into iMovie (which I do directly from the chip into iMovie) is the quality degraded as well, even though the transfer into iMovie doesn't involve Quicktime (at least I don't think it does).
    If, after sharing a clip from iMovie via Quicktime to create a file to upload to Vimeo, I can view it in Quicktime and the same thing happens:
    The inspector says "Current Size: 1736x 977."
    Any advice? Am I doing something wrong and as a result losing resolution?
    Thank you,
    David

  • Can someone help with importing video from Canon XA10 (AVCHD) into PE 11?

    In PE 11 when I import video from my canon xa10 (avchd) the quality is terrible, I also have a canon xa20, 60D and gopro that I video with and they all turn out with great video quality.  Is there a reason why the xa10 video quality is bad? Setting I need to change?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    In Premiere Elements 11 and 12 takes over setting the project preset based on the properties of the first file drag to the Timeline. Sometimes it does it right; sometimes not. You can check what the project has set by using the readings from Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out. If the project preset is set for NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080p30, then the Edit Menu/Project Settings/General should be as represented in the following screenshot
    Please refer to setting the project preset yourself manually and then importing the source media into the project.

  • How do I import video from canon zr 500 to iMovie 2011?

    Hello,
    Thank you in advance for your help. I am trying to import a video from a a Canon zr500 to iMovie 2011 for a college course assignment and the camcorder is not being recognized when plugged in via firewire. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions as to how I could accomplish this as cheaply as possible? I am new to using a Mac so please don't be too technical in explanations.
    Thank you,
    Ben

    Freezeframe-
    Either a Thumb Drive or an SD card in the Camera Connection Kit adapter should work.  However SFX is not a file type I'm familiar with.
    How about [Volume name]\DCIS\[filename].[mp4]?  The file name must be 8 characters plus suffix.  It needs to look like it would if it had been recorded in the camera.
    If that doesn't work, perhaps adding another folder will help.  A card from a Canon camera has another folder named "102___12".  That would make the path [Volume name]\DCIS\102___12\[filename].[mp4].
    The more common way to transfer videos to the iPad is using iTunes that had previously synced with it.  Select Movies under LIBRARY on the left side of the iTunes window.  Then you should be able to drag the video file into that window.  The video will be transfered the next time you sync.  This way, the file name is not critical, as long as it has the correct suffix.
