Trouble with VIXIA Camcorder

Hello everyone.
I recently bought a new VIXIA HF S21 camcorder, and I'm totally lost as to how to get my recorded footage into Final Cut Pro.
The main problem is that I'm not sure my Macbook Pro is even recognizing that I have a camera connected. I would assume that if I had it connected properly, I would see the camcorder pop up in Finder, like any other device. However, it's not showing up there... I've checked the manual for the camcorder, and it tells me to transfer the files, I would need to install the bundled software, but that software is just for Windows, and I'm fairly certain that I don't need it if I just want to transfer the raw footage over.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

To answer your questions:
1. I'm using the built-in hard drive on the camera.
2. As far as a specification, I'm a little foggy here. I shot it in the PF24 mode with at 3264x1840. My understanding is the the camcorder records everything in AVCHD format.
3. Not sure exactly which settings you're referring to in FCP. I'm brand new to the program so I see all kinds of settings.
4. I just bought Final Cut Studio directly from Apple, so it should be the newest version. The "About" popup says its FCP 7.0
5. I've read the sections both in the FCP and Canon manuals.
-The Canon manual only goes into transferring your files into their bundled software and downgrading the footage to SD. I can't use the bundled software since its made for windows, and I don't want to downconvert to SD.
-The FCP manual (Exploring Final Cut Pro) says to select Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup from the menu. I've done that, and the next screen wants me to choose a Format, Rate, and a "Use"... that last one has options like: DVCPRO HD 720p60, HDV 1080p24 FireWire Basic, XDCAM EX 1080i60 VBR (there are a lot of other options, these are just three I randomly picked). These might be codecs, but I'm fairly new to all of these terms, so I'm not really sure. I don't know what to pick from here so that might be part of the problem.
I also tried to use Compressor, based off another poster's post above, but I don't know how to use the program, and I think there's still an issue where the mac isn't recognizing the camera and vice-versa.
Thanks for your patience!

  • Troubles with effects and colors in FCPX 10.1.4

    Hi to everybody.
    I have a problem with colors using the effects.
    Lets look at more less neutral picture (picture no 1)
    ftp://ftp.strefa.pl/Zrzut%20ekranu%202014-12-16%20o%2022.34.30%20%283%29.jpg
    If you look at the RGB Parade you see the down part of the RGB distribution is ok.
    But if I start to use any effects the Parade changes in this way:
    ftp://ftp.strefa.pl/Zrzut%20ekranu%202014-12-16%20o%2022.34.54%20%283%29.jpg
    You see, that the down part of the color distribution (for all 3: red. green and blue) is cut-off, even when I use the effects which shouldn't influence on the color.
    I spent some hours to find any logic, and I discovered following regularity:
    1. The source movie I imported came from Nikon D7100 (.mov), 1920/1080i
    2. The behavior of FCPX during the playback of those clips is crazy and ustable (few seconds like in pict.1 few second like in pic. 2).
    3. I have instaled the newest versions of Nikon D7100 firmware and of course FCPX 10.1.4. I think (not 100% sure) the trouble with FCPX appeared after 10.1.4 update.
    4. I don't have any troubles with other camcorder (Canon XF 100)
    Did somebody have simillar effects / troubles with FCPX? Any solutions? I have a job to do, and this situation completly devastating my deadlines.

    You would probably find more direct help by talking to other Nikon shooters who use FCPX. M
    I don't know anything about the Nikon codec or why it might be giving you trouble while others do not but have you tried simply transcoding the footage to ProRes422? Your files will expand by a factor or three or four but you will not have these difficulties.

  • I am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    i am having trouble with downloading videos from my Sony HDR-XR160 video camera. iMovie doesnt open up when i connect the camcorder. any suggesions?

    Looking up your camera online, I found it is capable of 1920 x 1080 Full HD 60p Recording. It's the 60p (60 frames per second Progressive) that's the problem I think. iMovie '11 will do 60i (Interlaced). You might need to convert it from the format the camera currently uses into another format to get it into iMovie. Read more about it on this link here: How to import 60p footage From that message thread comes the recommendation to use ClipWrap to convert the camera's video clips now that they are in 60p:

    Use ClipWrap to rewrap to QuickTime. Import the files. Edit in either 59.94 or 29.97. The latter if you want to use the high frame rate for slomo

  • I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD. I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally and vertically. I shoot with a camcorder Canon

    I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
    and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
    I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
    and vertically.
    I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
    When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
    Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?

  • I am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch.

    am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch and leaves a blank white screen box and spinning wheel of death-if I re-install software-will I lose all photos and faces settings? Any ideas-this is a Mac Pro and Xserve school system.
    It seemed to stem from when I was transferring some movie footage from an HD camcorder to iMovie.
    This is a school system and I'm worried I may lose many photos and face recognition data.
    Phil

    1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
    2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
    FWIW
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
    Alternative approach:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I have 64-bit Vista on an HP laptop, and am having trouble with P4

    I have 64-bit Vista on an HP laptop, and am having trouble with P4. When I go to the "Compatibility" tab in for the P4 .exe file, 32-bit Vista does not show up as a compatibility option. The latest version shown is XP with SP2. Am I missing something? Is there a patch or download that updates P4?(The problem I'm having is stuttering and stopping in the imported avi2 files I have downloaded from my Panasonic digital camcorder and converted from avi to avi2 using DVDate. Also, I get stuttering with digital photos - jpg files - that I want to insert in the movie with added narration.)

    A.T. Romano
    It gets a little complicated. This is a simplification, but I hope this
    helps to visualize what's happening.
    The 32 bit and 64 bit environments are separated from each other.
    There are separate program files directories, separate shared dll library
    directories, and even separate registry entries. You can't mix 32 and
    64 bit modules, and some applications, like Internet Explorer, install
    both a 32 bit and a 64 bit version on the same computer. (IE does that
    so it can process web pages that use 32 bit executable controls).
    Vista 64 has 32 bit emulation built-in using a subsystem called Windows
    on Windows 64 or WOW64 for short. WOW64 intercepts 32 bit
    application calls to the operating system and handles the 32 to 64 bit
    conversions and the redirection of the file and registry locations.
    The program files themselves contain flags that indicate whether they
    are 32 bit and whether the file uses the 64 bit version of the file
    structure.
    If the program is marked 32 bit, it will run in 32 bit using WOW64.
    Programs are generally installed by an installer program which places
    the application files in the proper locations and writes the registry
    entries and any other setup tasks that are needed. To install a 64
    bit program, a 64 bit installer is needed. For 32 bit installers, the files
    and registry entries are redirected to the 32 bit locations.

  • Canon Vixia camcorder and Imovie09 anyone have any issues?

    Hi I have a 2009 2.66 ghz Quad Core Mac Pro. I plan on purchasing a high definition camcorder, I was very interested in the Canon Vixia series but was concerned because I read that people had issues with their canon Vixia camcorder and Imovie. Should I be concerned? Anyone have any issues with the Canon VIXIA HFS100, HF200, or the HF20 and Imovie09 on their 2009 intel Mac Pro? I don't want to spend 750-900 dollars on a camcorder if I'm going to have issues importing the videos into my mac. Any info is greatly appreciated

    Sheryl Kingstone wrote:
    Other issues were around the 1080p is not really 1080p. meaning it says it records 30p, but it imports it at 60i. Don't really understand why.
    Today I tried 30p on my Canon HF-S100 for the first time. If I understand correctly it's still saving the video in 60i format -- e.g. all of the odd scan lines in one field, then all of the even scan lines in the next field. The visible difference is that you don't see the interleaving when you view the results in iMovie or Final Cut Pro.
    With 30p it's as if the camera captures an entire frame at once, then saves it as two interleaved 60i fields. By contrast, when the camera is recording 60i it captures one field (every other scan line) and records that, then captures and records the other field separately.
    In other words, in 60i mode, the subject may move between the recording of the first field and the recording of the 2nd field, resulting in interleave "jaggies". In 30p mode the subject doesn't move between the recording of the fields, since both were captured at the same time.
    I wish I could insert some pictures to better explain myself

    Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
    I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
    I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
    Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
    is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
    is there anything else I can try ?
    should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
    If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • Trouble with OR in where clause

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble with execution speed. The problem seems to be with using OR in my where clause.
    Here's the meat of the function where i_pledge_number is an input parm:
    BEGIN
    SELECT /*+ INDEX (pp) */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
    INTO return_amount
    FROM
    primary_pledge pp
    WHERE
    -- Get total if multiple allocations
    pp.prim_pledge_number IN
    (SELECT pc.pledge_number
    FROM pledge_codes pc
    WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
    AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
    AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number)
    -- Get total if single allocation
    OR pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number;
    RETURN return_amount;
    END;
    If I comment out either half of the OR statement (either the subquery or the pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number half) the function returns a value in .02 seconds. If I leave the OR in, it takes 2.764 seconds to execute?? Can someone please show me a better way (faster) to do this? I tried using nvl() around the subquery but couldn't get it to compile.
    Thanks

    These things are difficult to diagnose remotely, but here is something you can try....
    SELECT */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
    INTO return_amount
    FROM   primary_pledge pp
    WHERE  pp.prim_pledge_number IN (SELECT pc.pledge_number
                                     FROM pledge_codes pc
                                     WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
                                     AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
                                     AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number
    UNION ALL
    SELECT i_pledge_number FROM dual)
       RETURN return_amount;
    END;If that doesn't do anything (and it might well not) there are a large number of different ways we can recast this query. To save us further guessing please give us more details: execution plans, database version number, volumetrics.

              "WHERE birthday " +

              "/*' " +
              "ORDER BY birthday ASC ";
    ResultSet rs = statement1.executeQuery(consulta1);
    boolean moreRecords = rs.next();
    The variable "moreRecords" is always "false", the query returns nothing although the table "client" has records that attend the query.
    Please, anyone can help me?! It's a little bit urgent.
    Thanks,
    Katia.

    Hi Katia,
    I'll bet the problem lies with the characters you're using to escape the LIKE clause. You're using the ones that Access likes to see, but that's not necessarily what's built into the JDBC-ODBC driver class.
    You can find out what the correct escape wildcard characters are from the java.sql.DatabaseMetaData.getSearchStringEscape() method. It'll tell you what to use in the LIKE clause.
    I'm not 100% sure about your code. It doesn't use query1 anywhere. I'd do this:
    String query = "SELECT name, birthday FROM client WHERE birthday LIKE ? ORDER BY birthday ASC";
    PreparedStatement statement = connection.createStatement(query);
    String escape = connection.getMetaData().getSearchStringEscape();
    String test = escape + '/' + pMonth + '/' + escape;
    statement.setString(1, test);
    ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
    while (rs.hasNext())
    // load your data into a data structure to pass back.
    rs.close();
    statement.close();Let me know if that works. - MOD

  • (Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

    Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
    I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
    Let me know if you know why this is happening.

    With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
    Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
    While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
    I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
    You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
    Something you can try:
    System Preferences -> Network
    Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
    Select *Set Service Order...*
    Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
    NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

  • Edge Animation having troubles with iOS devices within Muse Site

    Hi All! I've been creating a mobile version of my website www.rinkdesigns.com and have it all complete. I created an animation/navigation bar within Adobe Edge Animate and imported it into Muse. It functions AMAZINGLY on my Nexus 4 (Android) in Chrome but on a buddies iPhone 5 Chrome only loads about 3/4 of the animation/nav bar, in Safari the animation does not load at all and half of the page background does not load either. Please check out the preview site here http://rinkdesignsmobile.businesscatalyst.com/phone
    Has anyone else been having animation/mobile troubles with iOS devices? Any hints as to how you fixed your errors would be extremely helpful! I also posted this question in the Muse forum and haven't gotten a response...
    Thanks,
    John

    Or, how about this:
    Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?

  • Trouble with 3rd party VST installs for Garageband, can't find instruments

    Hi,
    I am having trouble with Audio Units for Garageband when installing 3rd party software, VSTs, loops, instruments. I have more issues with Logic Pro. I am hoping that it is the same underlying issue and that I am just missing something. I have the manuals (not great for troubleshooting). I am confused with some installs use User Library and others use the Computer Library. I do go to the mfgs sites for updates. The installs sometimes work as standalones but I don't see ALL of the components of the software in say Garageband or Logic. Mostly, I am missing the "instruments" and "loops" that I want to access within the DAW. Some examples:
    • Here is some of the software I am talking about:  East West sample libraries (Play and Native Instruments); Vienna Symphonic librarires; Sylenth1 (just last night); Sample Tank 2 and Total Workstation 2 from IK Multimedia and others.
    • In GB I see the Audio Units for Vienna, Play, Sylenth, some of the IK Multimedia but NOT any instruments when I go to the "Sound Generator" -- I seem to be missing the instruments and loops. I see less AUs in Logic Pro. Some of these are VST instruments.
    • Can I just drag-drop samples to the library folders to fix this?
    • The plug-ins do not seem to work (though Sylenth1 worked for a single sound). When there is a standalone app (as in Sample Tank), I finally got the "sounds" to be reinstalled and loaded, those sounds/samples don't show up in any DAW.
    • When and if the sounds/loops/samples show up in GB's "Instruments" section will I be able to tell that they belong to that particular software or library?
    Thanks in advance.
    John

    Found the answer myself, it was simple:
    • Select the Track
    • Show the Instrument (info area)
    • Click on Edit
    • Click on the "Sound Generator" pop up field.
    • At the bottom of the pop-up list, select from the Audio Units that you have installed. This is where you see "Sample Tank 2, Vienna Instruments..."
    • NEXT -- IMPORTANT:   CLICK ON THE PICTURE next to the Sound Generator pop-up field.The AU unit loads up, the interface pops up, you load up the instruments in this AU Unit. You do NOT see the sounds from the AU unit in the normal Apple instrument list.
    This was not intuitive but once you know it, fairly simple.
    Still, the devil is in the details -- more questions on the way.
