Will FCP be able to import video from the new Canon XA-10 (AVCHD)?

And how will it work?

I own the XA-10 and can confirm that it works with Final Cut Pro 7.
But FIRST everything must be transcoded to ProRes before you can edit it. For me this was a very simple matter of opening the Log and Transfer window, waiting for FCP7 to recognize the camera, then selecting the files(clips) that I wanted to work with. For me, FCP7 was automatically setup to transcode to ProRes 422, but it is possible to transcode to pretty much whatever format you want by going into the settings from the Log and Transfer window. For me though, ProRess 422 is just what I need, so i don't touch the settings.
Note: Also be aware the by default the XA-10 shoots in the lowest quality mode, at around 6mbps. ProRes 422 likes to go at around 16mbps. This is, of course, personal preference, but I would set the camera to record at MXP mode (the highest setting). You will still get 5 hours of recording time on the internal storage, and the quality will be much better

  • How do I import video from my new Canon FX300?

    How do I import video from my Canon FX300 into FCP?

    It's probably got no connection with your problem but just to rule it out, trash your preferences  .  .  .  it'll only take a minute so you've nothing to lose.
    Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
    1. Ensure that only  FCP X  is selected.
    2. Click Trash
    The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
    There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
    The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones  .  .  .  instantly.

    Is finalcut express able to import video from a panasonic vdr d210 minidvd recorder for editing?

    No.
    You will need to transcode to one of the FCE Easy Setups.
    Match the converted file to the specs of the chosen Easy Setup, audio & video.
    Srteamclip from Squared 5 is a free app that can do the job.

  • Lightroom 4.1 will not import video from the Olympus OM-D EM-5

    Lightroom 4.1 will not import video from the Olympus OM-D EM-5. It sees the files in the import dialog, but it fails during import.

    Here's a post concerning 5D MKIII file corruption, which may also be due to a camera malfucntion. Yes, there could be something wrong with your camera.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4882852#4882852
    SUGGESTION:
    Install the Canon EOS Utility that came with your camera. Also check for an updated version of the EOS Utility after the install. You need to install from the CD first before you can install any updates.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_5d_mark_iii#Driver sAndSoftware
    If the EOS Utility can download the CR2 files to your hard drive, then your camera is not defective.

  • How should I best import HD Videos from the new iPad to my mac without loosing video quality?

    The new HD video on the new iPad is awesome, but it can eat up a lot of memory in no time. I would like to know what is the most recommended way to export my ipad movies to iLife on my mac without loosing image quality, so i can free up space on my iPad.
    If I use iPhoto I notice that the file size of the video from the new iPad is a lot smaller then if I use iMovie to import the same video.
    Example: I import a 53 second video from the new iPad to iPhoto and the imported file has a file size of 143 MB in iPhoto. (iphoto save the video as IMG_0048.mov)
    I import the same video to iMovie manually and the imported file size is 843 MB in iMovie. BIG DIFFERENCE. (iMovie saves that same video as clip-2012-03-20 16;13;08.mov)
    Now to really be confusing: I go to Image Capture program and locate the file manually on my iPad and is has the same name and file size is what is in iPhoto.
    So either iMovie is making the File a lot larger when it imports to an event, or the file I'm looking at is actually the iPhoto version that I get because I sync with iPhoto.
    The second issue that I have is that now I have 2 videos on my hard drive: one in iPhoto, and one in iMovie for a combined data storage of close to 1 GB.
    I would like to be able to import ALL my iPad recording into iPhoto and then delete the video from the device when done.
    But if I loose video quality, I'm not happy about that. Secondly, by importing video from my iPad into multiple iLife programs, I'm creating duplicates with sometimes different quality. Any suggestions? is there a setting in iPhoto that can do all this for me?
    Robert

    Don't use iphoto to deal with movies. it's not really meant for that. use Quicktime or iMovie to work with your videos

  • Failure importing video from the Desktop in iMovie 2009?

    When I attempt to import a folder of .MOV videos from the desktop into an existing project in iMovie 2009, it appears to go through the loading and importing steps, but the entire process and loading bar only occur for a matter of seconds, and no video appears to be imported.
    I have tried importing the video as a new event, and the process happens the same way, this time creating a new event folder in the Event Library, but with nothing in it.
    I have tried selecting only one video, also to no avail.
    I have also tried to import videos formatted in .AVI, this failed.
    Anyone had this issue, or know a fix/workaround? At this point I don't know how to import video from the hard drive into a new project at all. Dragging the files from desktop to event frame within iMovie does not work either.

    Well, I think the 9-pin to 4-pin cable is the best way to go. Get your camera's power adapter out and plug the camera into the wall first. Once the camera's got power, put it into VCR/playback mode. Then also go into the Menus on the camera and also check your manual to make sure you are sending the video signal out through the firewire and not just through the RCA video jacks. I don't know if the GL2 has a control for the Firewire jack, but just double-check that to make sure it's turned on.
    Now setup the Mac to recognize the camera. Shut it down completely and plug the firewire cable into the Mac. Make sure your camera hasn't gone to low power/sleep mode. Startup the Macintosh, when you see the desktop appear launch iMovie. Then go to File Menu > Import from Camera. And in that window that pops up it should list your GL2 in addition to the iSight webcam.

  • After connecting my Sony camcorder to imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video the import window does not open. I have imported videos from the sam camcorder successfully before. What could have happened? Puzzled)

    After connecting my Sony camcorder to Imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video to imovie 09 the import window does not open. In the past I have successfully imported videos from the same camcorder. What could have happened? Puzzled

    Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but  maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
    But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
    Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
    Thank you so much for  beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message  that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
    So your kindness is very much appreciated.

  • HT4007 Does Aperture support Images and videos from the new 3D cameras?

    Does Aperture support Images and videos from the new 3D cameras?

    If the camera is listed here OS X Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats or here Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats then the raw image file is supported by Aperture.
    If the camera is not listed then as Keith wrote if it produces JPG's they can be imported into Aperture.
    If you told us what camera you were interested in it might help.

  • I have a Macbook which is running Snow Leopard. I back up using time machine to an external drive. If I purchase a new Apple Macbook pro running Lion if I use the backup to this will I be able to use Leopard on the new computer

    I have a Macbook running Snow Leopard which I back up to an external drive using time machine.  If I purchase a new MacBook pro and transfer backup from time maching to MacBook Pro will it also transfer Snow Leopard as its is my preferred O.S.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If the new computer did not originally ship with Snow Leopard installed, no, you will not be able to go back from Lion. Snow Leopard lacks the necessary drivers required for newer hardware.

  • I have the new iPad.  Will I be able to download games from the Web?   I want to change  web browser to IE can this be done?

    I have the new iPad with Safara,  I perfer IE will I be able to download it?
    Will I be able to download games at playgames rr .com?

    You can download other browsers that can identify as I.E. - such as Atomic and iCab Mobile - they have to be the full paid versions of ether browser though not the free lite versions. If you identify as IE. it will be much like using the desktop version - but .... you still cannot download any applications from the web. Only App Store, iTunes and iBookstore content can be installed and used on the iPad.

  • How to i import music from the new itunes to the iphone5

    i recently upgraded my iphone4 to iphone5, i used iclloud to back up everything but my music, all my music is on itunes (the new itunes - i had to download the new itunes because of the phone) i have tired several times to sync my phone to import my music onto this new iphone but its not working.
    i have authorised the computer
    i tried to import my music with itunes match - this didnt work
    i have switched itumes match off
    i tried to sync automatically - this didnt work
    i also tried to manually import my music and this didnt work either
    i dont know what else i can do... can anybody help?

    iTunes will transfer the purchases made from the iTunes Store from your iPhone to your computer. It treats all other music syncing as a one-way street, to comply with copyright laws (wont sync stuff not purchased on iTunes from your iPhone to your computer).
    But, you can import the other songs from a computer backup or rip them from a CD again. Then sync them to the new iPhone.

  • Does Adobe not support RASW from the new Canon 7D?

    New owner of a Canon Eos 7D Mark II. Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom do not open the RAWS of the new 7D.  ??

    You need Lightroom 5.7 or later.
    Alternatively, you can download the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.7, convert your RAWs to DNG, and import the DNGs into Lightroom.

  • Premiere Pro won't let me drag an imported video from the Source window to my timeline

    I've tried to insert it, but it won't me do that either. It just gives me a "Do not Enter" sign next to my cursor. Any ideas?

    It sounds like you have not created a Sequence.
    Be sure that your Sequence settings match your footage by doing this:
    Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".
    How do I choose the right sequence settings?

  • When will Aperture have support for RAF files from the new Fuji XPro-1?

    How long does it normally take to get the RAW file format updated? Fuji say they sent the file details to Apple many weeks ago. This is a camera being given fantastic reviews in all professional magazines worldwide - but I'm stuck with an Aperture folder full of "unsupported image format" files.
    Really annoying as I use the full suite of Nik plug-ins so I can't do anything with these files until Aperture is updated.

    Per an interview with a spokeswoman from Fuji, they have indeed provided Apple (and Adobe as well) all the needed technical information in order to support the RAW files (i.e. algorithmic information created by Fuji for the non-standar filter array, etc etc). Please don't spread any more misinformation about it, it's already been flamed to death on all the online camera forums. You can still choose to 'blame' whomever you wish about why it's still not supported by Apple, but you can no longer reasonably assert that Fuji hasn't done their part by providing them what they need. Nondisclosure agreements were signed as well.
    Having said that, I find it ridiculous at this point that it's not supported, for several reasons, some being the seemingly similar Fuji users who also use Aperture as well as the opportunity here for Apple to take some market from Adobe (who as of yet are not producing very great output files for Fuji X-trans). Apple was/has been at a disadvantage to Adobe for a long while now, and being an outsider, I presumed Apple would want to take advantage of this (and any similar) opportunity to grab some share from Adobe. I was well wrong, and it seems that other lesser-known-used companies are now doing just that.
    Well good on them. I for one will be looking at any/all (new)comers and will certainly be going with the best of those. Sorry Apple, you lost another one. There was a real competition, for me, btwn Aperture and LR4 up till this point. You'd have to pull a rabbit out of your hat to keep my Aperture biz.

  • When will the next update to Lightroom be that will include the acceptence of RAW files from the new Canon 7D Mark II?

    The title pretty much describes the query.  I do not want to use any other sort of file converter to pull the RAW files into Lightroom or the like.  I am hoping that Adobe will answer.  Cheers, Keith.

    Native Lightroom support for the D750 was added in the Lightroom 5.7 update released this evening.
    Release details:
