Which Project preset for Canon 5D Mark 2 ?

Living in Europe I use PAL. But I am not sure if my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) is AVCHD or HDV so I can choose the correct project preset.
Then Full HD 1080i? Or should there be a choice of 1080p for this camera? And finally 5-canal or not?

PRE does not have a 1080p option.
From the specifications (HD 1920 x 1080, MOV (Video: H.264, Sound: Linear PCM) you will need a "AVCHD Full HD 1080i 25" project setting.
I suggest you try with a small clip first to see how good the output is. Note that the Internet has many sob stories about using 5D video footage.
If you don't need to do too much with the file you could try QuickTime Pro - others post here saying that this is a great tool for .MOV files. I think you can also use QuickTime Pro to convert to a more PRE friendly format, perhaps other 'regulars' could comment.
Cheers,

I am trying to determine the new project preset for multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders, main shot is DV (tape) (720x480), b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480), additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080). Film is from a wedding, DV contain

I am trying to determine the new project preset for a multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders,
Main shot is DV (tape) (720x480, 29fps) - ceremony and reception
b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480, 29fps) - bride preparations
additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080, 29fps) - groom preparations and misc all day ceremony and reception.
Film is from a wedding, DV contains main footage so I assume it will need to be the base. I am planning to use the preset for DV-Widescreen. Is there a better option? I'm concerned about playback as the three appear to have different PAR. I'm using Premiere Elements 10 on W8.
Ultimately this will be burned for two formats - one for a DVD that can be watched on a widescreen TV, second for a short clip trailer to go on vimeo.
(And no I won't be doing this again for a wedding that I shoot.)

Please review since I am not sure how you obtained Video 3 tall when you scaled Video 3 with Constrain Proportions in effect.
Before
After
It becomes a zoomed in effect to get rid of the black borders. But, there is no tall and thin involved anywhere.
And, after the Scale increase, you can always click on the screen and move the image around a bit
(without overdoing it to get black borders again).
After and an adjust
Please let us know if you are OK with the information above.
Thank you.

Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?

Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?
I want to edit video taken with a Canon Powershot SD 550 taken in NTSC 640 x 480. When I start a new project, which project settings should I be using? Also when exporting the project to view on a computer should I stick with the AVI or will MPEG or another universal format give me better end quality?

Hunt,
This user has two thread topics here that are identical to ones at the forum which I frequent. Early on I downloaded video from the Canon Powershot that he says he is using for the basis of my comments. So, I have put that video through gspot myself. Since the user is going between the two forums (mostly here), I did not want anything lost in the back and forth. The goal is to help attainment of the goal. That is why I am including comments at both locations:
At The Other Forum
Project Settings Thread
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52299
Rotation Thread
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52298
The user has gotten back to me on the video rotation issue, thanking me, but telling me that another workflow was identified...and, as I note, generously shared with both sites. I am in the process of personally checking out what he said worked for him in that regard. However, the user has not gotten back to me on the topic of project settings.
So to expedite matters, when you get a chance, could you please check out my comments in that thread? I would be interested in your perspective on the matter and what I wrote.
Thanks.

I need to get raw plugin for Canon 5D Mark iii for CS6 the adobe website has changed and I can not find the download.. it keeps looping me back to the product download page without the raw

Which operating system are you using?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get either camera raw 8.3 or 8.7.1, which should enable photoshop cs6 to open the canon 5D Mark III files.
(version of camera raw depends on your operating system)
If that doesn't work try one of the following camera raw plugin installers:
Camera raw 8.7.1 plugin
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x snow leopard (10.6.8), then you'll have to use the camera raw 8.3 plugin installer:

Need to add the patch for Canon 5D mark III raw files to Photoshop. Where can I find it?

Hi Friends,
I am editing on my lap top for the first time since buying the Canon 5D Mark 3. My Photoshop (5.5) does not recognize the
raw files. Where can I download the update?
Thanks in advance,
Esther

The 5D Mark III was also supported in Camera Raw 6.7

which is compatible with CS5

In CS5 click Help > Updates should install Camera Raw 6.7.
If not, download it manually

CS4 Adobe Raw update for Canon 7D Mark II

Does anyone know if there will be an upgrade for my version of photoshop that will let me open up raw files from the Canon 7D Mark II.. I have been using this for a few years with my Canon 7D and don't wish to upgrade.

station and John:
ppronto has asked about support for the Canon 7D MkII which the ACR/DNG 8.7 RC does not support yet.
It's supposed to be in the 8.7 final release, unless I am mistaken.

RAW conversion for Canon 5D Mark II

I can't open my raw files from my Mark II I have PSE 6 and have upgraded my raw conversion to 5.2 it still won't recongnize my .cr2 raw files from my Mark II it recongnizes my .cr2 from my 40D whats up?

Some of the Adobe download links are wrong and take you to an earlier version of Adobe Camera Raw. The latest version is ACR 5.6 which brings support for the newest camera models such as:
Canon EOS 7D, PowerShot S90 & G11, Nikon D3S and others. It’s also backward compatible and will support all earlier models including the EOS5DmkII.
First you will need to exit Photoshop Elements.
To get the plug-in for PSE6 go to the link below - instructions are for Windows users. They will differ for Mac users.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4626&fileID=4303
Download the plug-in for Elements 8
Open the zip folder you just downloaded and click Extract Files.
You should see a 64 bit folder and a plug-in file below it. The plug in has a file name: Camera Raw.8bi
Now drag the plug-in file (or copy it) into the File Formats folder in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats. See Gotcha
If running windows Vista you will probably get a pop-up requesting Administrator permission. Assuming you are the Administrator for your computer, simply agree.
I can confirm it does work as I have recently updated my plug-in for PSE6 using the above method. To test it, go to one of your photo folders, right click on a raw file (NEF, CR2, DNG etc) and select open with Photoshop Elements. The image should automatically open in ACR 5.6 giving you access to the latest slider adjustments, including white balance and exposure.
Note: If you have an earlier Camera Raw plug-in, I suggest you move it from the File Formats folder to My Documents before you begin. This will prevent it being overwritten by the new Camera Raw file (it will have the same name) and you can always move it back again if the download installation fails.
If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, then move the plug-in file from the unzipped download folder by navigating to:C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats.

My settings for the Cannon are 1920x1080, 15mbps, PF25 (frame rate), 1080i
I want to choose the best settings possible for the best quality
also once my video is edited what are the best export settings for me?

I you have no idea what to choose drag a file from the Project Window into the New Item Icon. That will setup the correct sequence.
On the whole it would be AVCHD 1080i50 non anamorfic.

Photoshop CS 4 plug in for Canon D5 Mark 2?

Hello,
sorry to ask maybe this basic question, but I am really desperate.
I got RAW fotos from a friend and I cannot open them, she has a canon 5D mark 2..
I do have an old Canon 5D myself and they are fine.
Where can I download the plug in that I need for these fotos?
And where do I have to put the plug in on my MAC?
I tried it already, downloaded several plug ins but the I cannot find the path that is suggested on internet...
t says I have to put it in :
4. Navigate to: c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
But after "ADOBE" there is NO "plug ins"...
Anyone who can help, please?
Heike

Are you asking how to write such a plugin?
If you're just looking for support in ACR, then you need to post in the ACR forum, not the Developers Kit forum.

Photoshop Elements Plug-in for Canon 5D Mark III

I just got a new Canon 5D Mark III camera. I can not open RAW files in Photoshop Elements 7. I previously had a nikon D200 and was able to read RAW files after I downloaded plugin. What plugin do I need to download for the Canon. Can't seem to find one.

Update to PSE12 or use Canon DPP that came with your camera disk. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Easy Set-Up for Canon 5D Mark II Media

I was in the forum about a month ago, and thanks to you all I learned what I needed to know to transcode my Canon 5D Mark II media to FCE. But, now I am shooting with Canon's new firmware that allows to capture media at 24 fps. Now, I know that FCE is not optimum for this media, but because I don't use pirated software and I am low on cash what is the best Easy Set-Up for FCE. Now, I have it set at Format: HD ; Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 ; Rate: 29.97.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Michael,
To answer you first question, I have FCE v 4.01.
I found the following video on u-tube very helpful,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRpUs_My-Oo, however make sure you follow the instructions given in the forum as to what values to place in MPEG Streamline. If you combine the two you should be OK. I am not sure I understand your second question, but I have not had to make a render step in placing clips in FCE timeline. But, I am not that knowledgable about FCE. I am still very low on the learning curve.... yet, I hope this is somewhat helpful...Good Luck

Camera Raw update for Canon 5D Mark III

Where is the camera raw update for the new Canon 5D Mark III?

It doesn't appear that it is available yet. You will want to utilize Canon's software for now. I would recommend continuing to review http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html as it has a list of all supported and soon to be supported cameras with Camera RAW.

Will Lightroom 4 get updated with support for Canon 7D Mark II Raw Files?

I received an update for Photoshop to support Canon 7D Mark II raw files (ACR 8.7), will Lightroom 4.4 get an update to support these files?

I don't know why you feel it makes things more complex. All you need to do is use the DNG converter as your download software. The conversion takes place during the download, and then you can import directly into Lightroom. I'm not trying to sell you on using DNG. But it isn't as cumbersome as it seems.
Since Lightroom doesn't utilize the Camera Raw plug-in, it makes it more difficult to provide updates. In Lightroom update means distributing a whole new Lightroom program.
