Video capture with Canon HF10 and Vista 64

I cannot get Premier Elements 7 to capture videos from my Canon HF 10 camera.
I am using Window Vista 64, Premier Elements 7 that I just installed, and a Canon Vixia HF 10 video camera.
The computer will identify the camera. I can import video using the Pixela ImageMixer software that came with the camera. And, I can capture the video into Premier Elements 7 once I have the video clip as a file on the computer.
Obviously, I would prefer to just directly capture the video with Premier Elements 7.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to resolve the problem?

Ted,
Welcome to the forum.
Now, I could not find your camera on the CanonUSA site. Is it a UK/European model? Looking at the US models with similar #'s, it appears that the only connection offered is USB 2.0. Is that correct?
If so, there will be one major problem. With a rare exception, PrE will only Capture via FireWire. If this camera does not have FireWire, then one must use other means to get the files onto the computer, and then into PrE. That is why it has been recommended that one use the included software to transfer the image files. This is an unfortunate fact of life. As the USB 2.0 connection is horribly slow, even on the fastest of computers, there will be the problem of how long this will take.
The decision to not include FW was one made my Canon. Many manufacturers are making the same decision, as it keeps costs down on their consumer cameras. It does not help the user, however, if they really wish to edit the footage. What would be a one-step process with a miniDV tape camera w/ FW is now at least a two-step process and a slow one at that.
There is likely not going to be any cure from Adobe's end, unless they rework the Capture module, or add a second USB one, and that will not be until PrE 8, if even then. [This is my prediction and not from any knowledge of Adobe's plans.]
Good luck,
Hunt

    I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac then editing in imovie and burning dvd-r using idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do??????

    At what point is the video quality bad?  Is it bad on capture?  I would recommend using an s-video 1394 firewire converter instead.  They capture the video at a higher bit rate.  If you have a lot of 8mm tapes to capture, invest in a stand alone DVD recorder.  They capture and compress in one shot.  If you need to rip it back from the DVD into iMovie again, I would recommend using DVDxDV.

  • Canon HF10 and Apple TV

    I'm thinking about buying the Canon HF10 and in my research I've got a couple of questions that I just wanted to be sure about. Am I correct that the file one would download off of the flash card is an AVCHD H.264 formatted file? What is the exact file extension? Also, does the built in 16gb card capture about 2 hours of footage at the highest quality? And let's say I pull this 16gb of data off the card and onto the computer via iMovie, will this take 16gb of hard disk space? Or does it somehow decompress and expand as I pull it off the camera? And, even though it's a h.264 compressed file, I won't be able to directly play it over my Apple TV? What do I need to do in order to play it on the Apple TV. I saw some posts saying it was best to record it in 24fps, but I'm not sure what to do after that.
    Thanks!
    Rod

    hey there solsurfer,
    if your cam is AVCHD, your footage will be converted to AIC in iMovie 08 or FCE4. these files will be about 4x the size of standard -def/MiniDV. so if 1 hour of DV=12.3 GB, then 1 hour of AVCHD/AIC will be 49.2GB. you might want to consider a large(320GB or more) HDD for your movies & events.
    in iMovie 08 you edit your footage, then "Share" to Apple TV & the movie will be encoded & sent to iTunes.
    specific questions about a cam's capture format/codec, quality & quantity on flash media should be available @ the manufacturer's 'site.
    good luck.

  • Problems with 1.5 and vista - audio recording

    Hello.  I have PP 1.5.  I have an Audio Techinca AT2020USB microphone.  I have a couple different computers running 1.5 - The one that has XP as an OS, I can use the mic to record audio.  On the computer that runs Vista, I can not.  Is anyone aware of any patch or anything that will allow me to make this work?

    Subject: Problems with 1.5 and vista - audio recording
    As Jim points out, CS3 was the first Vista-certified version, though many did get PrPro 2.0 to run on it.
    Now, if PrPro 1.5 is running otherwise, you might have some luck with http://www.asio4all.com You'll need to download this freeware, install it, and then point PrPro to it in Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware>Asio Settings for input and output.
    Good luck,

  • Scanning with Kodak i65 and Vista

    Hi,
    I am having trouble 'Creating a PDF from Scanner' with a Kodak i65 scanner. Everytime I attempt to scan a document with Acrobat 8 and Vista I receive a scanning failed message. The 'Scan Validation Tool' scans documents fine to the .tiff format however when I try to scan documents with Acrobat 8 it doesn't work and I get 'Scanning failed.'
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I have the exact same problem. Except I have the Kodak i30 Scanner. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 (with the Security Update 1 installed).
    In the past, I ran the following configurations on an older computer with no problems:
    - Windows XP & Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 (with all of its various updates)
    - Windows Vista & Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 (with all of its various updates)
    - Windows Vista & Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 (with the Security Update 1 installed)
    However, when I built a new computer, installed Windows Vista Ultimate, installed the Kodak i30 Scanner, I receive a "Scanning failed." error everytime I try to scan directly into Acrobat.
    BTW, I HAVE "tried with latest Scan Validation Tool and firmware update from Kodak site." Updating the SVT and firmware neither helped nor hurt.
    Has anyone had a successful fix to this issue?

    I found the following comment the other day that goes some way to explaining why iChat might have problems with some NAT routers:
    http://www.technologyevangelist.com/2007/02/ichatav_the_bestun.html#comment-53326
    While it doesn't offer any solutions it might be worth firing off some iChat feedback to Apple referencing it. It seems like it might be a trivial bug for Apple to fix and could well alleviate many of the problems people are having.
    In the mean time if your router is one that has SIP ALG you could try disabling it and forwarding all relevant ports to your machine.

  • Does Premiere E support video shot with Canon 5D or Sony XDCAM EX?

    Does anyone know if I can edit video shot with Canon 5D or Sony XDCAM EX? I did some research but can't find the answer!

    Which version of PrE are you looking into? PrE 10 has DSLR Presets that cover the Canon 5D. Not sure about the XDCAM EX, but this ARTICLE covers the supported formats. I know that PrPro CS 5.5 offers full, native support for XDCAM footage, but do not see it in the PrE list.
    Good luck,

  • Having issues with playback and capture with canon's hdv XLH1

    We have the sony hdv deck for capture, but we recently got the canon hdv xlh1.
    When we try to capture or playback on the sony deck using a tape with canon footage, it stutters and drops frames, anyone else having issues with this? Deck control is non existant when we hook up the canon to the system.

    Well... yes and no... Canon's 60i will play thru the sony machine, and it will play from the camera on thru FCP, but without deck control. Everything else the canon shoots aka HDV (30p and 24p), the Sony deck will not play correctly at all. We just happened to have the Canon rep at our FCP user's group tonight, and this is what he reported. ALSO he said that FCP will be supporting this new format shortly... (whatever that means... LOL...) The camera itself is not currently supported by FCP.
    It does have an interesting feature though. If you have a Kona 2 card and an audio card, you can capture from the camera true HD in 4:2:2 color space. It has an SDI HD output.. but doesn't carry the audio with it. Course this isn't a "cheap" workaround for now because you'd also need an extremely fast disk array to capture the HD. and an audio card, and an HD video capture card... yikes. That Panny P2 camera lookin pretty good right now eh?

    Well, as far as I know this unit has only an S-video out port. In this case you can connect the notebook to the TV and watch the picture from notebook on TV but its not possible to receive any signals from TV or any other device on notebook.
    To receive the signals you need a composite port or an s-video in port.
    However, if the camcorder has a firewire port so you can send the digital files thru the firewire connection. But this should only works with digital files which are saved on the camcorder.

  • Problem with video capture with Blackmagic Intensity Pro card

    I have just installed a blackmagic Intensity Pro card to download analogue VCR tapes to DVD. I have set all the input parameters to the Blackmagic card in both Premiere and the input routine for the card. I am using the breakout cable for NTSC input with the green Y input for the video and the L & R audio inputs. When I try to capture I get snow in the premiere capture window, but it does record the L & R audio. When I stop the tape deck I momentarily get the blue screen with STOP showing and then back to snow. I am hoping it is just a setting somewhere but where????
    The computer is running Vista 32 home premium with 3G ram
    Comments very welcome

    Is there a BlackMagic setting required to tell the driver to see the green as composite rather than component?

    Hi there,
    Try using...
    unloadClip(myContent);
    instead of
    unloadMovie(myContent);
    unloadClip is the proper method to use when removing content

  • Compare iMovie08 Video Capture/Categorizing to FootTrack and iDive

    Can anyone compare the iMovie08 video capture and categorizing capabilities to FootTrack and iDive?

    Hi,
    I am the German translator of FootTrack and thought I'd jump in here with an example of things FootTrack can do, the way I use the program, anyway. I shoot a lot of documentary footage, some of which is of a stock variety, i.e. I shoot on spec and might not use the footage for a few years. FootTrack lets me capture the footage and compresses it to a smaller size that I can keep on my internal drive after I have deleted the original DV footage. That means I can tag, organise and scan compressed versions of my clips without having to have access to the original tape. When I have decided which clips I need for a project, I can export a FCP XML file to use as the base for a batch capture, because FootTrack captures timecode as part of its metadata (although it doesn't capture this for HDV at the moment, I believe FootTrack HD is in development). This saves a lot of time. iMovie on the other hand only knows the footage you have on your machine, which in my case is only the current project footage, so the organisation that it does the iPhoto way is not much use to me for older footage.
    I think of FootTrack as a pro video editor's organisational tool that gives me access to all of my footage without having to store huge amounts of DV data on external drives, or having to index my tapes with detailed info. I don't edit with it, preferring to edit with a video editing program. Those tasks are quite separate.
    I hope this helps. If you are trying to decide whether FootTrack is for you, try asking questions at the FootTrack yahoo group or contact Todd, the developer. He is a great dude, as mentioned before.
    Later,
    Fiver
