TS3850 Cannot capture directly into FCX with my Canon HV20

I am trying to connect my Canon HV20 to capture into Final Cut directly instead of using tape. It shows up but it doesn't control the camera and doesn't capture. Any suggestions?

See if iMovie, will allow you to import, your video footage.
If not, it might be your firewire cable. They do go bad.
Also, does your mac allow firewire 400 and or 800?
Newer ones no longer use firewire, but thunderboldt, which you can get adapert,
for your firewire cable. You can check out Apples web site for those cables, or electronics
store, near were you live.
I have had both firewire 400 & 800 cables go bad on me. I've used the HV30 & HV40.
I've never had or heard of the fw connector on the camera going bad. If it did, you would have to send it back to Canon for repair.

I need to capture directly into Imovie using EyeTV.

I can capture directly into EyeTV software no problem. I have an EyeTV 200 with a firewire connection. I can export from Eye TV into Imovie. I would like to remove a step and capture from my EyeTV directly into Imovie. Currently I get a message that says "No Camera Attached". Does anyone know a work around?

The EyeTV hardware/software mpg-2 compresses the content on capture. If you have the latest EyeTV software, the software will let you export the content in DV format for use in iMovie and iDVD which it appears you have been doing.
As for >>I would like to remove a step and capture from my EyeTV directly into Imovie.<< That can't be done.

Live capturing directly into timeline for Green Screen

Basically i am doing a live event where i am using a green screen and people can choose different backgrounds which i will chroma key in but i want to know if it's possible on premier to capture directly into a timeline so i can essential have a chroma keyed output of what it will look like in the program window? I have been able to do this before when using Final Cut but at the moment it looks like I'm going to have to capture it first and then and then just add the clip to the timeline.
Any advice or help would be great, thank you

Got this to work! *Here's how:*
Connect the XHA1 camera to the Macbook Pro via Firewire (Fire 400 out of camera, into Firewire 800 on laptop -- using an adapter since the new Macbooks only have an 800 port).
Turn on camera and open Final Cut Pro 7.
*Final Cut Pro settings (under Audio/Video Settings):*
Sequence Preset - HDV - 1080i60
Capture Preset: HDV
Device Control Preset: HDV Firewire
Click Log & Capture.
Start recording onto tape in the camera.
Start Capture Now.
You're now recording to both tape and the laptop simultaneously. If you stop the camera recording, the laptop will continue to capture without a glitch.
BUT -- if you start the camera recording again (tape) while you're still capturing to computer, your captured file on the computer will have a glitch.
So glad this works ...

Video Capture - directly into imovie

Had an old PC laptop and used DAZZLE to directly capture video. How can I capture video directly into IMOVIE using an external camera with my Mac Book Air?

Cannot capture video into FCP5

I am trying to import video shot over the weekend into FCP5. Every time I try it get File Error: Unkown File error. Any ideas why this happening?
The camera reads the tape fine. The Log and Capture window works fine, the image shows up, plays, all buttons work. When I attempt to batch capture it tells me how much space I will need, then a window pops up with "Additional Items Found in which I have tried both Add and Continue. Then the Insert Reel window comes up with the tape number, time, 1 clip and Ready. I click continue it goes to the Batch Capture -PREPARING FOR CAPTURE then Creating files and next it immediately goes to Insert Reel window again with ERROR showing behind the 1 clip and File Error: Unkown File. at the bottom. The Show Details button is grayed out.
Clicking capture now in the Log and Capture window immediately gives me the File Error: Unkown File. message.
Capture clip, after I added the original in and out times in the Log and Capture window, goes to the Log Clip window so I can name it, then to the Batch Capture -PREPARING FOR CAPTURE then Creating files and next it immediately goes to File Error: Unkown File. error window.
I have tried two identical camera, one if which I originally captured it with and both had the same result. I was able to capture last week. Only thing I may have updated is iTunes 9.0.1.
I have tried importing via FW400 and I have tried going through a FW800 case that has a FW400 input, then directly into FW800. Nothing worked.
Have FCP 5.1 and all the latest updates.
Thanks

I had deleted the prefs, but the problem was still occurring.
I used FCP Rescue 5 to delete the "settings" and when it restarted I set only my internal HD as the scratch disk (previously I had the capture spread between 8 disks). It works.

I cannot open raw files taken with my Canon Mark III in CS5

I am running CS5 on a newer computer (2012)... Every time I try to edit raw images taken with my Canon Mark III, a text box appears alerting me that my camera model is not supported by camera raw. I have tried various updates and software installations, but I have been unsuccessful in remedying the problem. Can anyone help or tell me what update/ software to download? I apologize if this thread already exists.

Canon Mark III do you mean Canon 1D Mark III or Canon 1DS Mark III or Canon 5D Mark III ???
In any case CS 5 ACR update 6.7 should handle all those cameras.

Import HD video with my Canon HV20

Hi, I have a Canon HV20 which is a High Def camera. I bought a firecable at the Apple Store, but now I'm trying to import it into Final Cut. I used the Log and Capture, then went and imported it as HV NTSC 48 Khz. When I burn it with DVD Studio Pro it doesn't look like it is HD. So what is a correct preset that Final Cut will recognize it because when I select like one of the DVDPRO options he won't recognize it. Thank you and much obliged for any help.

Thanks for your reply. I still can't find it in the list, attached is a screen shot. Thank you for your help!

Import oddities with the Canon HV20

I've seen some other posts of people having problems with the HV20, but none of them seem to match my predicament. I have mine hooked up on FW400, and three devices on the FW800 port of my G4 PowerBook. No problems getting it to import video, but I have had some spooky results of some clips not being split out, and others not seeming to import at all. I'm dreading going back to look at every tape and try to figure out what is missing. Has this happened to anyone else?

Ok... I may have answered my own question.
Can someone "in the know" please verify that my workflow makes sense...? and that I am not just "faking" things.
Just to reiterate what I had in the above post...
Here is what I did:
1. Captured video into a 1080i/60 Sequence setting my my quicktime video settings to "Apple Intermediate Codec".
Note: this made me render in the timeline
2. I then export as a self-contained quicktime movie
3. I open the clip in Cinema Tools
4. Only change the fields to CD
5. Save off a .rev
6. Open in QT and export as whatever.
Here is the result HV20 1080p24
(keep in mind its very short and compressed to H.264)
So, just for my own sanity check... is this workflow how I "should" be doing it? Is the result "really" 1080p 24, or could quicktime be fooled into thinking this.
do I love to use quotes or what! :P

Cannot enter data into table with column named DATE

I have a table as follows:
CREATE TABLE PACKINGLINE (
SNO VARCHAR2(13),
"DATE" DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE,
PRDORDNO VARCHAR2(12),
NOW DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE,
CONSTRAINT PACKINGLINE_PK PRIMARY KEY ("SNO", "DATE"));
Note the "cleaverly" named DATE and NOW columns (yes, that is the name of the column... our company was bessed with a very clear SQL server DBA in the past)
This SQL statement works:
INSERT INTO PACKINGLINE (SNO, PRDORDNO) VALUES ('1000808972', '100080897');
However when I try use SQL Developer as follows I cannot enter data:
1. Open SQL Developer
2. Click on "Tables" then on my table named PACKINGLINE
3. Click the "Data" tab
4. Click the [+] "Insert Row" Icon
5. Enter the same data as above
6. Click Commit
7. The following error is shown in the log window and I cannot commit the data change.
Error message
==================
INSERT INTO "DBO"."PACKINGLINE" (SNO, PRDORDNO) VALUES ('1000808971', '100080897')
One error saving changes to table "DBO"."PACKINGLINE":

ORA-06553: PLS-320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
ORA-06550: Row 1、Column 7:

==================
I can copy and paste the above query into a normal SQL statement window and the data commits fine.

Its so flaky there really must be something wrong Mr Adobe support person....
If I load a PDF, do nothing, gently save it, reopen and then waiting for my trial dialogue to wake up so that I can click on continue trial... then save as extended reader blah.... then close. I have finally saved one that works!!!! but how difficult is that????
WHAT IS WRONG ADOBE??

Capturing NTSC into FCE with a PAL-Camcorder?

Hi. I have mini-dv cassettes with videos in ntsc format.
Is it possible to capture these videos using my PAL mini-dv camcorder via firewire to fce hd3.5?
It sounds weird bec generally you cant use a PAL mini-dv camcorder to play a mini-dv in NTSC format. I went to a video store to ask for an advice and I was told that it didnt matter if I used a PAL mini-dv camcorder to capture an NTSC format via firewire which is digital. All I need is to put the right format setting in the editing software. But I got confused when I got another advice from another video store where I was told that both the camcorder and the edit software should be able to handle the NTSC format. I know fce hd3.5 can handle both NTSC and PAL format in mini-dv.
I hope you can help me solve my problem. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Al for giving your thought on this.
As you suggested, I need a video standard converstion system? The video standard will stay as NTSC in the meantime. I only see the use of this standard conversion system when I need to edit both PAL and NTSC videos at thesame time, where I need to convert either one of the video standards into the other one so that as you said fce knows what type of footage it will deal with.
This leads me to think that the only way I can capture my NTSC videos into fce hd3.5 is to use an NTSC camcorder as well. That's exactly my problem bec in Germany they only sell PAL minidv cams unless you want to get Sony HVR-Z1U which is able to handle both NTSC and PAL system. That's expensive for me.
Am I making sense here???

Capturing directly into Macbook Pro + tape

Is there a way for me to record a live event on my Canon XHA1 (onto mini DV tape) while simultaneously pulling the footage into FCP7 on a Macbook? (using the laptop as a recorder)
With Firestore devices still ridiculously expensive, I'm wondering if this is an option.

Got this to work! *Here's how:*
Connect the XHA1 camera to the Macbook Pro via Firewire (Fire 400 out of camera, into Firewire 800 on laptop -- using an adapter since the new Macbooks only have an 800 port).
Turn on camera and open Final Cut Pro 7.
*Final Cut Pro settings (under Audio/Video Settings):*
Sequence Preset - HDV - 1080i60
Capture Preset: HDV
Device Control Preset: HDV Firewire
Click Log & Capture.
Start recording onto tape in the camera.
Start Capture Now.
You're now recording to both tape and the laptop simultaneously. If you stop the camera recording, the laptop will continue to capture without a glitch.
BUT -- if you start the camera recording again (tape) while you're still capturing to computer, your captured file on the computer will have a glitch.
So glad this works ...

Record video directly into imovie with external microphone?

Here's what I am trying to, and I am just wondering if it is possible.
I like recording video covers/songs to put up on youtube. i don't have a video camera that takes good video AND sound, and the video quality provided by recording in imovie through the isight is perfectly fine. however, i would like better sound quality than i get with the internal microphone.
i own an mx audio pro system which allows me to connect external microphones to my computer through usb for higher quality recording (i've used it for garageband).
my question is whether i can simultaneously use the isight and external microphone when recording in imovie, and how i would do that??
thanks!

Click System Preferences/Sound/Input and select your USB mic.
I know this works for voiceovers, but it should work for iSight as well.

Capturing Only Audio directly into FCP via a line in connection?

Basically I'm wondering if you can source directly into FCP 4.5 from a Walkman pro? So I can capture directly into FCP. Is this possible. Any help would be appreciated.

Depends. You've got to find a way to bring in analogue audio through a digital system. You can hook the walkman up to a digital camera and then into FCP. Does a walkman even have an output connection?
