Which sequence settings for Canon Rebel T2i ?

Hi everyone!
I need immediate help. A friend of mine did a rough cut of a project (in Windows Movie Maker) shot with a Canon Rebel T2i.
He gave me the file (in .wmv), so that I could do a little color correction and sound editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS 4.
I am not sure which settings I have to choose when creating a new project.
I guess the settings that I chose were wrong, because when I played the video, there was something like a blue flash covering half of the frame every second.
What should I do?
Here is a picture:

Hi there
You should re-post this in the Premiere Pro forum. This forum is for Adobe Captivate discussion.
Click the link below, then on the page that appears, click the drop-down selector and choose Premiere.

*** Sequence settings for Canon 5DmkII video

I'm trying to edit video footage from the new Canon 5D mkII and I don't know the sequence settings. The playback is really stuttery and jittery so I'm wondering if there's a plug-in or something that I need. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance!

That shoots h.264 I believe, which is a delivery codec, not an editing codec.
Convert it to an easy set up for FCP, ie pro res, DVCProHD or something in the easy set ups using QT Pro

Sequence Settings for Canon 1Dc 4K Footage

Has anyone tried editing the log file in Premiere? I have not found a preset for this file type. Any suggestions as to the sequence settings?

Hi Kevin
I would think so too, right?
I did send in a bunch of system crash reports when it happened from my account (email address removed), perhaps you can pull those?
The crashing was very erratic and happened while placing clips on a sequence, and also while attempting to press File>export. The settings I was exporting were the following:
4096 x 3112
24fps
80 mbps VBR
profile: high
level: 5.1
That was with CC. I also tried it in CS6 and was able to create a finished sequence, but both times I tried exporting the times were very slow and the eventually the Mac Pro was locked up and had to be manually restarted.
Help!

Choosing which sequence settings for multi format

I have XDCAM EX, Canon DSLR and GOPRO footage: all shot at 1080 30P. Which shoud i choose? Cheers

You should convert everything a common format and frame rate first.
Two things to consider:
What format do you have the most of?
What will be the output format?

Proper sequence settings for importing Canon Rebel T2i footage

Greetings, all. I searched the forum and didn't find this question answered elsewhere, so I thought I'd ask.
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, version 4.2.1, and I'm trying to find the ideal sequence settings for the Canon Rebel T2i, which records in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, with adjustable frame rate. I am running on Apple Mac OSX 10.8.2.
I've been editing with this footage for over a year now, and it's always been a struggle because I have to render all footage before I can even play it in Premiere. When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow.
I'd like to see if I'm doing this incorrectly; to know if I have a simple sequence setting that's incorrect. What sequence settings should I use for my imported footage to start out green and not require a lengty render for video that isn't even edited yet?
Thank you,
-Matt

>When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow
I think this is written for CS5, but the concept should be the same

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:

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.

Sequence Settings for HDV footage to create SD 16 x 9 -help!

I shot HDV footage (using Sony Z1U) and want to use it as SD footage in final cut.
How do I set up a sequence to be able to create an SD sequence in 16 x 9? Which sequence settings should I choose for this?
Also, do I need to capture the footage as Anamorphic 16:9 or can I simply check the Anamporphic 16:9 box?
Thanks, Joel

HDV has a natively wide aspect ratio, and is not anamorphic (stretched) like SD widescreen.
FCP seems unable to correctly allow for the reversed field order of HDV when converting to SD with software, whether exporting QT, going direct to compressor, or nesting into SD and rendering.
Also, if you go direct to compressor from your HDV sequence, type elements and pixel layers will shift around and change aspect ratio.
I have had good luck exporting a self-contained native HDV movie and running that through compressor, though I am forced to turn frame controls off in my compressor preset, which throws out every other field and gives a pattern of progressive frames where every 5th frame is repeated. Our producer called it the "max headroom" effect.
If you know you won't need HDV output for the current planned workflow of your project, I would start by capturing SD by turning on the DV downconvert setting on your HDV deck. You'll save yourself a lot of time and headaches.
Otherwise, if you want to work in native HDV, output and HDV master of the finished sequences and recapture those as DV if you want to retain the origiinal fields in your SD output, whether to tape or to mpeg2.
When you recapture as DV, whether the original source, or a recapture of you finished master, that's the point at which you'll want to capture anamorphic.

I'm unable to download RAW images from my Canon Rebel T2i to my flash drives. JPEGS are fine. WHY?

Suddenly I'm unable to download my RAW images from my Canon Rebel T2i to my flash drives when just a few weeks ago I was able to. What happened? I can download JPEGS just fine. No error codes, software works like normal, i see the previews and when i go to my flash drives to open the files the dated file is there but it opens with no images. I've reformatted the memory card twice now, so that's not the problem. Any ideas from all my new friends out there. Thank you.

We may need more info. What are your flash drives? What are you using to copy? What computer/OS do you use?
Normally a file is a file... a computer doesn't care what type of file it is. Whether or not any software knows how to hope the file wont impact the computer's ability to copy it. This makes me wonder if it is being copied, but can't be opened (e.g. if the software you are using doesn't know how to deal with a Canon T2i RAW file (.CR2).
RAW is more of a "concept" than a "standard". Every camera model's RAW file will be slightly different. If you want to open an image in, say, Photoshop... they provide "Adobe Camera RAW" updates for their software and you'd need the update that supports your T2i (btw, when Adobe releases a "new" version of software, they tend to stop providing RAW updates for all previous versions of that software. So depending on what version of software you use... the only way to get it to work with RAW may involve having to upgrade the software (there are some cumbersome work-arounds.))

How do I make adobe bridge work with canon rebel t2i camera?

I have photo shop cs3 and never had a problem with Bridge before. Now I purchased a new canon rebel t2i and it will not recognize adobe bridge. Anyone know how I can make this work?

I am biased against e-mail for three reasons:
1. All too frequently the message sent is blank and the one posting never knows.
Not so frequently anymore
2. Any edits to a post never get reposted, so those using e-mail are "in the dark".
Yes, but then again, one should read first what was written before sending it to the world (and sometimes it can be pretty to be in the dark...)
3. They do not get the advantage of scrolling up and down the responses to see what others said, reviewing what was said that did not work, or seeing what was not suggested.
That is solved by hitting the links in the email to visit the forum or thread. Mail is just faster and the times I have to look at the history are far less to normal posts. I do find it more confusing with the general forums and I'm clueless where the moved discussions come from, like this thread that seems to be answered and is about an old version and a problem that has been discussed many times before.
Guess old fashoned, but don't see any advantage to having my e-mail clogged with dozens of posts each day. I follow 4 forums.
Don't know what email you are using, I do have Apple mail but used to work with Entourage (the MS Outlook version for Mac) but both do have the option to create rules. I created a folder for each forum or other source that moves the mail automatically to the folders for the particular forums. Also have the option for Smart folders that creates a copy from predefined sources and puts it in those folders for better overview and searching...

Canon Rebel T2i & Elements 8

Does anyone have a clue how to get Elements 8 to read the CR2 files from the new Canon Rebel T2i? I tried following the instructions on the Elements web page, but they do not work.

You probably made a mistake following the manual installation instructions. See this FAQ for troubleshooting:

Just bought a Canon Rebel T2i as a gift, not out of box yet. Called apple before I bought it and they said it's compatible with iMovie 11. Reading comments that people are having a difficult time getting iMovie to read files. Any comments?

Just bought a canon rebel t2i as a gift, not out of box yet. Called apple first and they said camera was compatible with imovie 11. reading comments that users are having difficulty with imovie reading files from rebel. any comments.

I don't see the camera listed for any version of iMovie:

That means that any videos you shoot will have to be imported into iPhoto and then moved to iMovie.

Sequence settings for HD

what are the exact sequence settings for cutting 1080i60 footage in FCP? From my understanding; it's 1920 X 1080 with 59.94fps. But what fields should render first; upper or lower? I also need to know this info for using After Effects; I need to know the specifications so I can render my animations.
If there is anything else I should know, please let me know. thanks.

Open your preset in FCP or check your sequence settings and all that information will be there.

Sequence settings for 16:9

Hi,
Just doing some PAL tests of 16:9 HD to 16:9 SD downconvert.
What are the sequence settings for this?
If I use the normal DV PAL 48khz, the VIEWER window shows a normal 16:0 ratio, but the CANVAS window shows a letterboxed 4:3 window. When I export this project, I get a letterboxed 4:3.
If I need to give my European client a 16:9 SD project, what are the sequence settings.
Thank you kindly!

Thanks Michael,
I still get images in FCP and QT exports that are letterboxed. Is that normal? I guess I assumed 16:9 FCP project windows and QT export movies would be all image and no letterbox within a 4:3 window.

HT3583 I just purchased a Canon Rebel T2i camera and need to know if Aperature 3 will support the Raw files from this camera

Will Aperture 3 support Canon Rebel T2i Raw picture format? I just got the camera and am disappointed that their software does not yet work with the Lion operating system. They said driver would be available in the first quarter of 2012 but when I checked it still is not on the list. I will upgrade to Aperature 3 from Aperature 2 if it supports the Canon T2i Raw files. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks.
