Working with Canon 7D

Does video from the 5D or 7D work nicely with FCP 6? Are there any issues with working with it? Anyone have any opinions on the video the camera produces in general?
thanks.

I do, but what I think is good other people don't. I loved the grainy look of THE HURT LOCKER, and hated the crystal clarity of AVATAR (well, I hated AVATAR on every level). But a lot of people want crystal clarity and no grain. I don't care if there's grain...I want STORY.
The Canon DSLRs shoot cool looking video because they have lenses that give you great depth of field. But it is a GOP format with limited color space, and not the best to color correct. But it is full raster 1920x1080 vs DVCPRO HDs 1280x1080. But I could give a rats patootie about FULL HD full raster. Anamorphic looks fine, I don't miss those scan lines. I like the color space of DVCPRO HD, even though it is 8-bit. Yes, it is softer than the Canon 5D, and even the XDCAM cameras. But I DESPISE ultra sharp HD. TOO good. I like soft...film is soft. Crystal clear HD brings out all the blemishes.
But, I people ridicule me for liking the softness of DVCPRO HD over the sharp, full raster of XDCAM or DSLR. Whatever. I mainly care about story. Without story, beautiful sharp video is completely uninteresting.

How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D?

How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D? I don't want to by this product again and again...

In what way is ACR not working in Bridge? Is there no right-click Open in Camera Raw available from Bridge, or there is, but the ACR version is less than ACR 6.7.1 or what exactly is the issue?
Also, if you open Photoshop and do Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw, is ACR missing from the list, or if not, what version does it say is installed?
You might also want to describe what methods you have tried to correct the issue, since saying you've tried what you've seen posted and they didn't work, isn't really much to go on.

If it is not compatible then you will need to look at the appstore to find something compatible to be able to print.

What version of Elements will work with Canon Print Studio Pro

What version of Elements will work with Canon Print Studio Pro?

I tried this step but it did not work. I have a Mac YosemiteOS 10.10.1. I copied to plug in files from Canon Print Studio Pro. Open canon utilities, open print studio pro, open CS4 folder and copied files CNPSPP101.plugin and CNPSPP102.plugin (not there is also a folder called CS5 but it has the fame plugin files)
I copy these files and then go to Photoshop Elements 13 and paste these files in Support File folder in Plug - ins and also did in folder Optional Plug-ins.
I then open Photoshop Elements 13 and hit Automation tools but Canon Pro Studio option is not there.
Can you provide more details on where I might be going wrong.
I put in a trial version of Elements 12 and have no problem. I just can't find where to purchase Elements 12 so I do not lose it in 30 days. Know where I can purchase?

I had the same problem. I make my AF work going to Menu / AF mode and selected Live mode. On Quick mode the AF did not work. I change the settings without realise it. Now my AF is working fine.

Sudden problem getting CD-LabelPrint to work with Canon ip5200R

The last time I successfully printed a disc label on my Canon ip5200R was in November last year - until then, I'd had no problems printing from a couple of different iMacs & my MacBook Air. I have recently tried to print a new label, but am receiving the message: "The Paper Settings are not correct. Please check the paper size, magnification ratio, and the paper orientation. To set the paper settings, please click on "Settings". To cancel printing, please click "Cancel"." All of my settings are correct! I used to get a message that advised me to check the "Quality & Media" settings, where I could make further adjustments (eg, tick "greyscale printing"), but I can no longer access this option.
A Google search revealed that others have had similar problems - solutions suggested included updating the software. I was using CD LabelPrint v.1.3. I have installed v.1.7, but the problem persists. (When I installed v.1.8, the message indicated that there was no printer installed that would work with the program!) (I uninstalled the previous versions correctly by deleting the folder from Applications as well as from Preferences in the Library.) I have attempted to print from 4 different Macs - three of them are running Mac OS 10.5.8 and one is running 10.4.11- no luck with any of them! The only change that is consistent between them since November last year is that they have all received software updates for their operating systems. I am wondering whether something in these updates is now interfering with CD LabelPrint?
I am frustrated with the amount of time this has taken so far, and so am hoping that someone will please be able to help me rectify the problem.

Hi there,
I have v1.60 of CD LabelPrint on my 10.5.8 VM and it is working fine. It also has all the Apple updates installed so I don't think this would be the cause.
I also have v1.80 on 10.6 and it is working fine as well.
The version 1.60 on 10.5.8 generates a pop-up as soon as the Print icon is pressed. This takes you to the Page Setup menu for CD LabelPrint to ensure you have the 'Format for' set to the iP5200R and the 'Paper Size' set to 'CD Tray C'. With these selected and the OK button pressed, the next warning window appears regarding the Quality & Media settings.
If you manually open Page Setup in your CD LabelPrint, does it have the iP5200R set as the printer and the CD Tray C set for the paper size?
Regarding the v1.8 and the error, this version was released to add support for Snow Leopard. Since you have to use the CUPS v10.26 driver on Snow Leopard (the v4.8.3 driver for Leopard cannot be used on SL) then maybe the same driver would have to be installed on Leopard in order for CD LabelPrint to function?

Image Capture no longer working with Canon MG3250

I’m getting an error message when trying to scan from my Canon MG3250 using Image Capture this is over wifi but plugging in the USB cable doesn’t make any difference. Printing is working as normal.
I’ve used Image Capture to scan previously without any problem and have the drivers installed from Apple.
Open Image Capture, selected the scanner, which now has a generic icon. I get the following error message:
"Software for this device is not installed.
Scanning software for this printer is currently unavailable
Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software."
I tried Preferences>Printers & Scanners. Selected the Scan Tab and Open Scanner. This launched the printer utility Canon MG3200 series. I clicked on the Scanner icon. Where I get the same error as above.
Normally the software would auto download from Apple, but clearly looking at the Console log there seems to be a problem at Apple’s end:
Console log:
20/05/2014 19:28:36.141 PrintUITool[411]: There are 2 drivers posted for Canon MG3200 series. Software Update server configuration must be wrong.
I've worked around the problem by going to Canon’s website and downloaded the scanning software:
http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/ InkJet/PIXMA_MG_series/PIXMA_MG3250.aspx?type=download&page=1
I used IJ Network Scanner Selector EX to select the scanner and Canon IJ Scan Utility to scan, which worked after I made sure Image Capture was closed.
This doesn't fix the issue with scanning in Image Capture however.

Issue resolved by Paul Huntley on another discussion board.
"To scan with Image Capture you need to install the ICA v3.1.0 driver for selected Canon devices. This is a different driver package to the MG3200 Scanner driver that includes the Canon IJ Scan utility and does not work with Image Capture."
Installing the ICA driver resolved the issue and I can now scan again with Image Capture. I still don't know why it stopped working in Mavericks, or why Apple didn't auto install the driver when required.

How to work with Canon EOS 6D log file in Lightroom

After searching all over the place I found an easy solution for working with the log file from the Canon 6D.
This file is in .log format and can not be imported in Lightroom directly, because LR works with the .gpx format.
First place the file out of the camera memory to the SD card as told in the manual.
Copy the .log file to your computer.
Go to GPS Visualizer.
On the start screen there is a green box.
You can choose the .gpx output format there.
Browse for your .log file.
Give command to convert and after a short while you can download the converted .gpx file.
This one you can import in Maps in LR (with that snake like symbol down the mainscreen).
This worked perfect for me and I would like to share this information, because both Canon and Adobe couldn't help me and pointed to each other.
Good luck!

You should never use relative paths to access the filesystem. The path would be relative to the current working directory which is not per se the same in all environments. To convert a relative web path to an absolute file system path, you need ServletContext#getRealPath(). Use this absolute file system path in the java.io stuff. In a JSF application on top of Servlet API you can get the underlying ServletContext by ExternalContext#getContext().
Alternatively, if the file is located in one of the default paths of the classpath or if its path is added to the classpath, you can also just use ExternalContext#getResource() or even #getResourceAsStream() using just the file name.

Purchasing external firewire drive to work with Canon HV-30/MacBook Pro

I want to purchase an external firewire drive to run FCE4. I have a Canon HV-30 (Vixia). I have read that external FireWire drives do not work well with Canon DV cameras? Is this true of the Canon HV cameras? and if so, has anyone had success with a particular firewire drive model with this camera?

Hi(Bonjour)!
I don't know for this model but it's the implementation of firewire protocol on Canon's models that could make a problem.
So, you could have problem but it's not absolute.

Mac will not work with Canon EOS cameras

My imac OS X 10.6 is not working well with my Canon EOS 5d Mark II camera on the tethered mode. The camera works well with other Mac computers, and I have spent hours with Canon tech help. It now seems that the issue may be with the computer. The EOS Utility is working, everything has been updated, all Canon checkpoints look good, but when I use the camera, the image does not transfer. And then everything gets locked into a loop and I have to crash the camera and force quit the program. Is there something in the computer that may be blocking the transfers? any ideas where to look? Canon has done everything on the camera side, but I don't know where to begin with the computer.

OH, ok. So the issue is with transferring the image from the camera to the computer. Since you said you have done everything possible with canon, the camera's firmware is completely up to date, you have the correct software installed. Since you say no cameras work with this computer I am inclined to say the problem is from the computer, which is why the problem exists. I'd do an apple hardware test and see if anything turns up. Clean install of the canon software would also be a good idea.

Will elements 13 raw converter work with Canon 7D MK2 raw files

My friend is about to purchase the new Canon 7D Mk2 DSLR camera. He currently only takes images in jpg format and edits images with the Canon software provided with his current Canon camera. I have encouraged him to purchase Elements 13 and to start taking images in raw and using the raw converter. Will the raw converter in elements 13 be compatible with the raw files of the new Canon 7D MK2, please?
The Canon 7D MK2 is a new model and I realise that Adobe may not yet have prepared a raw converter to work with images from this camera. However it may be that the raw converter for the new camera is the same as that used in camera it replaces. Does anyone know please?
Regards Dave S.

The 7d mkii is not yet supported but should be in the next camera raw update. It’s not yet featured on the ACR8.7 list of new cameras, but this is only release candidate software. The 7d mkii could easily feature in the final version. Keep an eye on Adobe Labs for further updates.

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...

Working with Canon XF files. Do they work nativley with PP6 or PPCC at all?

I want to start using PP6 - PPCC for all of my work going forward. I mostly with canon XF files on a mac book pro. Having done a number of tests it seems PP just doesn't work with them at all Ive tried importing via prelude, directly and via Canon XF utility. I have tried this in a number of configurations.
It doesn't allow you to view more then 30 seconds of footage in the browser. So whats the problem, a bug? Is there a fix?
Is it worth changing over ? withthe hassel of transcodes its so much less attractive.
Any advice welcome.
Many thanks.

Many people are working heavily with the MXF out of Canon rigs and doing fine. Some are having issues. A few seem to be dead in the water with that codec/wrapper. So I'd guess it's a combination of hardware & software configurations & interactions that Adobe hasn't completely nailed down. So ... you might want to snoop around here, though do remember, the ones who post most often and most ... decidedly ... will be those with problems, and those who are just working away ... don't post a lot.
Still, the more of you with those cams & footage posting here, the more they'll learn about the issues there and the better they'll be able to get this handled.
I'd recommend posting your entire hardware/software/processing info here ...
-OS/CPU/RAM/GPU/vRAM specific to the dot and with video driver listed also.
-Disc layout of programs, cache, projects, & footage ... and connections with any externals.
-ALL programs & plugins within those programs that touch the files, any effects. (Yea, I realize when you can't go more than 30 seconds "effects" are pretty nil ... )
-Camera/s used & original codecs/wrappers, frame rates & size.
All this can be of use to puzzling out what's going on. For some, just moving forward OR backwards in video driver has fixed it. For others something else has worked. And a certain number are simply ... frustrated.

Working with Canon 5D MarkII H.264 Footage in Final Cut Studio - 5, Not 6

I'm new to this whole posting thing, but I'm hoping I can get some help. I'm just now starting to try to edit video footage from my Canon 5D Mark II in Final Cut, but I do not have FCP6, I have FCP5. I'm starting to realize this may be a problem, as it does not seem to have any sort of 1080 30p setting for video.
So...what I've done so far is to down convert to 720 p30 (I guess) using MPEG Streamclip, and then work with it that way. But I'm losing a lot of nice information, right? (Wrong?)
Obviously, I'm very new to the whole HD thing, so please go easy on me. I'm just hoping that there is some way that I can edit the lovely 1080 30p footage in Final Cut Studio Version 5, and then output a looped 10 minute video via DVD Studio Pro.
Anyone??
I appreciate any guidance.
- dawn

Strangely, that is just not one of the options that shows up for me - I get the huge list, but no 1080p 30. In fact, no 30p anywhere to be found except for the 720 p30.
I wonder if there is something I can download?
I keep running into posts telling me I have to have version 6 - there MUST be something I can do in 5!! I hope, I hope...

Working with Canon 5D standard definition video

I'm facing an odd situation.
Just started editing a documentary shot with a Canon 5D camera. The picture looks great. The only thing is, the cameraman decided that this is a video and he didn't need to shoot HD! I don't know why he thought that, since the main reason people use the Canon 5D is to get a full HD frame. Anyhow, I've been presented now with hours of brilliant interviews that can't be redone, all with a frame size of 640x480 running at 25 frames per second. I need to figure out how to edit these and create a broadcast master at the end. 25fps is not the issue, it's the frame size and video compression that I need to deal with.
The Canon 5D generates Quicktime files with an H.264/Mpeg4 compression. I need to convert these files to a format better suited to editing and mastering for broadcast. An HD master is, of course, impossible, but 640x480 is even smaller than the standard 720x576 frame size that one gets on regular standard definition PAL video.
I found a transcoding plugin for the Canon 5D, but it only works with files shot in the HD format, which get converted to Apple ProRes in the FCP's 'log and transfer' window. I've been unable to find any instructions on how to work with standard definition files.
I imported the native H.264 files into the FCP, and found, of course, that I can play the video quite smoothly as it is. There's even a timeline setting that allows me to edit without rendering. But I'm afraid that if I work with the native files, I won't be able to master them to tape at the end.
Any pointers on how best to go about this would be most useful!

Try using Compressor to convert to the standard PAL frame size using DV50. Good luck and whip the cameraperson.
