Workflow from Canon HD Camera to archive... dvd or digital file?

I have a Canon HF200 camcorder and I want to know the best workflow to get from camera to archived footage. Are my options to archive to DVD... or to a HD digital file?
I want to import my footage shot on my memory card, edit slightly, then output / archive and then delete the source files.
If I am shooting in HD, will my burning it to dvd take the footage to standard def?
Is the other option to output one mpeg / quicktime in HD that I could then view on either my macbook or my HD tv...?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice......

It largely depends on how many images you are dealing with. If you're just editing one or two images per shoot, then you can keep doing it the way you're doing it.
But if you're going to work on many images, Bridge and the Adobe Photo Downloader give you a lot more options that might save you a lot of time and labor:
Import an entire card at once, or any selected pictures you preview, without needing to drag and drop
Automatically send photos to your hard drive in folders organized by shot date as they come in
Batch-rename files as they come in
Apply your copyright, keywords, etc. in bulk as each photo comes in
Compare and closely inspect the photos in Bridge, better than you can in the Finder, before you open the photos in Camera Raw
Edit images in bulk in Camera Raw within Bridge, without having to open Photoshop at all until you need it
Automatically make a second copy of every image in a backup folder, even on another disk
If you take advantage of customizing the import options, all you would have to do is sit back, click once, and let all the photos import to your specifications. Personally, I think the greater control and automation is easier, faster, and more powerful than using the Finder to track down the images I want and having to manually drag and drop them to the right folders.
Maybe you don't need it now, but if your shot volume goes up, drag-and-drop really will turn into a drag.

HT3775 I have a bunch of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document "001.MPEG" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play?

Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

I uninstalled my Elements 10, I have my serial number how do I reinstall it, and will it be able to except files from Canons new camera dos 70d?

I uninstalled my elements 10, I want to reinstall it, because elements 12 does not have the lighting effects, and because it seems impossible to use, I bought it because i am having trouble getting my camera raw files excepted in elements 10 from Canons new camera, the EOS 70D. THERE SHOULD BE AN UPDATE SO ELEMENTS 10 WILL RECOGNIZE THE NEW CAMERAS.

For the 70D you need to buy PSE12. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your CR2 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:

PSE 8 is not recognizing my RAW files from Canon T21 camera

This week I bought a new camera, Canon T2 i (550D), and also upgraded from PSE 7 to PSE8.
The PSE prgram does not recognize RAW files from the Canon T2i camera.
However, it does recognize the RAW files shot with the previous Canon Rebel XTi camera.
I have spend hours trying to figure this out and find different settings to solve this.
Can anyone help?

You need to download and install the latest version (5.7) of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in:

Be sure to follow the manual installation instructions on that page precisely.

Canon 6d camera. Cannot view CR2 Raw files in my iMac folders.

I have just updated my camera from Canon 500D to 6D full frame and I am unable to view any of the raw files in the Mac pictures files. I don't use iphoto or aperture preferring to use the in built pictures folders.
I had Photoshop Elements 9 and have updated to Elements 12. If I say take twenty raw images and load into my iMac they show up as a thumbnail with an image number and not a lot else. This is clearly not helpful when trying to view images before editing. Yes I can use Canon software DPP but hey ho I like the Apple pictures folders for storing my images. The raw CR2 files from the 6D are of course different to the CR2 files that I used to create on my old camera 500D
Can someone help so I can actually see a thumbnail of the actual raw images in my iMac pictures folders?
Many thanks

I'm having this problem as well. I have had my 6d for a while and it worked fine before the software upgrade a few weeks ago.
I can get my pictures imported into iPhoto, but they only import as JPG, not the RAW files that sit in the camera. Before the software upgrage, I could get the mac to recognise the Canon 6d and import the RAW files directly from it. Now I can't get the mac to recognise the camera at all.
I want to process in Lightroom but they import as jpgs and they all just look wrong!
Somebody please help!
Thank you.

Workflow from Canon to Raw image in PS CS4

Hello,
I apologize if I am in the wrong place with this question. I have a Canon Rebel XSi that I am learning to use and also have CS4. I've been working through Kelby's 7 step book with Photoshop and am ready to start working on my own photos, but I realized that I don't know how to get a RAW file from my camera into photoshop. I was wondering if you all could help with the workflow. Right now, this is what I do:
1) Take the picture in RAW
2) Connect the camera to my MacBook Pro running the latest version of OSX
3) iPhoto opens and I import the pictures I want
4) Export pictures from iPhoto in the "Current" format/file type (this is now a .CR2 file)
5) Open Photoshop
6) Open the photo in Camera Raw
Unfortunately, when I do this, I get some stock image that it not my picture. I don't get an error, but I also don't get my picture.
Is this an issue I can fix solely with photoshop, or is my process of going through iPhoto causing a problem? Is there any way you know of that I can view the pictures on my Canon as files (like the camera is an external drive) rather than having to import everything through iPhoto?
Thanks

IPhoto 09 can't import RAW file (.CR2) from Canon G10 Camera

Every time I try to import a RAW image on my G10 camera (the file extension is .CR2) into iPhoto, the program says that the file is in an unrecognized format. Yet the OS and I believe iPhoto supports RAW from the Canon G10. I have updated my software. Does anyone know why I cannot import this file?

Since the G10 support came with the 10.5.7 update download and reapply 10.5.7 COMBO Update again followed by a repair of disk permissions. See if that will jump start the import.

Camera connect, can't import video from canon video camera

Having got over the disappointment of not being able to use a 3G data plan abroad for the iPad I comforted myself with the thought that I could enjoy watching movies taken on holiday on my brand new canon legria fs307 camcorder which I bought new along with the apple camera connect kit at the airport from Dixons.
It imports the stills fine by both card and USB but does nothing and does not recognise any of the video!
In fact connect it by USB it tells me the card may be damaged! Which it obviously isn't because it imports the stills.
Any ideas?

Import videos from Canon Powershot camera to iMovie

I recently bought the Canon Powershot D30 underwater camera. I tried to import the video clips to iMovie without success. It can only export to iPhoto and the video clips when dragged to iMovie became still shots. How do I transfer the videos to iMovie for editing? I have a MacBook Pro with iMovie 11

Not sure of what you mean when you "never find where the video went". Did you use the import function of iMovie or ? If it is from the camera software, I suspect the video went to your Movies folder in your user folder. But...
Just checked this out and it is simple. I assume your video is on an SD card or something like that. Just download the movie to your desktop from the camera, then open iMovie 09 and go to the import function under the file menu and import the movie from your desktop. As to

Importing "24p Cinema" footage from Canon AVCHD camera ?

Hi all,
I have bought a CANON HFS10 Vixia AVCHD camera, I`ve made some footage using the "24p cinema" mode.
When using media browser in PPCS5 and importing it, it still indicates (like in CS4) under "properties", that the footage is "29.97 fps", as CS5 is compatible with this camera specifically, shouldn`t CS5 indicate something like "24 cinema Canon mode" or so ?
It`s my understanding that the Canon camera produces a 24 fps footage "wrapped" in a 29.97 container; it`s also my understanding that, as CS4 is not compatible with this camera, it looked ONLY at the wrapper and said under properties "29.97 fps", that sounds reasonable for me.
But what about CS5 ? How do I know if it is really "seeing" the 24p footage wrapped in a 29.97 fps wrapper if it still says "29.97 fps" ? Will it perform the editing and exporting correctly even though ?
Thank you very much,
RK

I was wondering though.....shouldn`t I just NOT DO Anything ?
Well, that would be ideal... but you know how THAT goes
There`s an Adobe document at its web site talking specifically about the
Canon cameras, it mentions specifically my camera and the so-called "24p
cinema" format.
Can you post a link? I'm just curious what it says. The biggest issue is that Canon actually has (at least) two different 24p "formats," and your camcorder records to the not-so-easy-to-deal-with version. It's what Canon deems "24pf," which means that it records 18 progressive frames and 12 interlaced frames, but it doesn't flag which are which, so programs that are not able to determine the pulldown cadence can't remove the necessary frames to create a true 24p clip. After Effects (and a number of other methods) can determine the cadence, but that's an extra step, obviously.
It says that I can use Media Browser to import the files and...that`s
all, it doesn`t go any further.The option Interpret footage -> remove
pulldown is greyed out for me (?)
Yeah, that makes sense, given the above. Do you have a really short clip you wouldn't mind uploading somewhere for a test? I can't find one anywhere online...
I wonder if I could just edit it normally (labelled as 29.97fps
though..) and export the timeline as 23.976p....?
Which results would I achieve ? I`m trying to avoid spending some
expensive blu-ray medias doing tests;
You could, technically speaking, but aesthetically, you'd be pretty displeased with the results. The export process isn't any smarter than the import process, so unless you do the necessary steps, you won't get a good, clean 24p encode.

Importing AVCHD files from Canon HFs10 cam into Premier 4.2.1 on Mac

I have a consumer camera Canon HFs10 that records AVCHD files, however I cant import them into my Mac version of premier 4.2.1. When I attempt it says it does not recognize the file. Where do I find the codec for this type of file? I have run Adobe update but the same problem still exitst.

Copy whole card to your hdd, then import via Media Browser.
See how that will work.

Why is there no audio when I upload from Canon Video cam to imovie?

When I attempt to ulpoad from my Canon Elura 90 to imovie, the video is there but not the audio. Have imovie 9.0.4 and Mac os 10.6.8

I had the same problem a long time ago. I don't remember it for sure but I guess it had something to do with the bit numbers of the camcorder (the audio setting in this respect).(it was solved with posting it on a Mac website)

Adding data from a rolling camera and entering it into a file

i have managed to get my software to read camera input from a usb port! I would like it to be able t pause the rolling image and trnsfer a image of me into a file named owner, so it reconises me! NOTE! it should only have to take my profile when it is started for the first time! then i would like it to be able to acsess the file so it knows that i am the owner!
how would i go about doing this!
baring in mind it would need to permantly know who i am afterwards!
to make it reconise me after the initial setup! would you sagest i se a random accses file so that it can acses it or not!
and would i need to put a loop so that it can acses the file to know who i am all the time!
I hope this makes sense!
many thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Is there a way to retrieve data from a blob field and save it to temp table.Why would you want to do that?
Can you provide some more details regarding your requirement?
(Don't forget to mention your database version as well)
Also, I wonder why you've added a 'decompress' tag to your question?
edit, after seeing Tubby's reply
Dang, the connection must be frozen here ;)

HT201628 Download pictures from any external camera to ipad/how install DCIM file

I have gotten a camera connection kit for my iPad 2 in order to download pictures and video from my cameras,but does not happen nothing.I tried the USB as well as the cards and did not open nothing on iPad. Seller says that I need "open or create" a DCIM file,but I cannot find where .I appreciate your help for this issue...

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do you drag and drop/move multiple emails from the inbox or mail archive folder to a file folder in your finder?

I would like to archive hundreds of my emails that currently exist in my apple mail email filing system by moving them into file folders in the finder. I can do this easily with a single email but it wont let me do it with multiple emails or a complete folder. Is there any way of do this easily?

Thanks very much for this. However, I understand how dragging and dropping files normally works. It just seems the it wont work when you do it with emails when you are transfering them into a normal finder system folder. If you highlight one file and drag it to a finder folder it works, but when you drag multiple, it just wont let you do it.
Is there any work around for this? Thank you once again for your time.
