Working With Canon XF300 Files

Hi everyone,
I rented a Canon XF300 for a live event shoot yesterday, and now I am trying to get the footage into an editable form. The two hour event was broken up into numerous .mxf files (The container file that the Canon XF300). My main concern is how to merge those separate files into one large 1.5 hour file, to make the editing process smoother. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am using the CS suite for this job, but I also have FCP7 on my system, in case the workflow involves that software...
Thanks in advance!

I'm faced with a similar problem as the OP. I can't find a way to join 2 or 3 clips together so a sequence can be edited as one. I'm on PP 5.0.3.
Apparently (and I can't confirm this) for Panasonic P2 files, Premiere works out which clips are supposed to be contiguous (using the metadata) and joins or merges them in some way.
This does not appear to be the case for Canon XF300/305 MXF clips.
Has anyone come across a workflow for joining or merging MXF clips for use in PP 5/5.5?

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.

Does Final Cut Express Work with Canon XF300 or Kodak Zi8?

Question... I JUST purchased Final Cut Express 4. Ihave a Cannon XF 300 and I have the XF plugin software but it doesn't to appear to have worked.
I used the same software at work..except work computers use Final Cut Pro and it works beautifilly... How did you get your Copy of Express to recognize your MXF files... or any files that came from your Canon XF for that matter?
While I'm on that note.. i alternatively use a Kodak Zi8 HD for vlogging and Final Cut tells me it can't recognize the files... ***?!? They're MOV files! Isn't that a native to apple format?
Feels like I ****** away almost 200 dollars..

The Zi8 records to .mov files but uses an H.264 codec. A QuickTime .mov file can be created using any one of a long list of audio and video codecs. Just because it's a .mov file doesn't mean it's compatible with any & every app.
The XF300 records to MPEG-2 Log GOP
Neither can be used directly in Final Cut Express
Both will need to be converted to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec. I suggest using MPEG Streamclip to convert your raw video to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec in order to edit in FCE. MPEG Streamclip is free; but you will also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Component if you do not already have it on your Mac. ($19 from the Apple Online Store)
An alternative would be to Log/Transfer using Final Cut Pro into QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec. Then transfer the files to your Mac that has Final Cut Express.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
CS5 is history and it is not longer supported. There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..

Hello Betty7,
Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome" to the HP Forums.
I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see that you are having an issue with getting the printer reinstalled.
I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it fails as well as any error codes it may generate.

Advice needed: The way to solve out of memory problem (or the way to work with big csv files)

Hello:)
I'm in trouble: I have a big csv file (over 5gb of web-analytics data) and my 64 bit excel (and 6gb ram)
I cant load file to data model because of it's size. There is an error "out of memory" in power query.
This is the first time when I encountered such a problem.
What options do I have to work with such a file? To increase memory in my computer? Would it solve the problem? How much do I need to work with 6gb csv?
Or may be I can upload my data somewhere to azure and work with it there?
So the problem - is there any way to deal with big files using power query? Or I need to become a developer and learn sql or other languages?
Thanks in advance.
Max

Hi Miguel!
Thanks for your answer.
I've tried to load this file on virtual pc from azure cloud with this config:
I have increased memory limit in power query settings:
And still, the proble is the same:

I need to work with the RAW files on a SONY RX100III camera. I use Photoshop CS5 and a Mac operating system OSX 10.6. Is there an Camera RAW upgrade or an alternative program that works here?

You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

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

Not sure why modify is in quotes ... but yes you work with the original and then publish again or export the HTML again.

Working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser

working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser when i came back on working on bootstrap my computer started hanging and opning new tabs and showing message " A caused the program to stop working correctly.Windows will close thoe program and notify you if solution is available"

Hi Geetha,
1.) button problem:
i don't know how you open the form - when you do it with a XML file maybe you packed the wrong XML file into your addon installer.
2.) the flickering can be a problem of formatted searches or interacting with other addons.
when addon a. changes a field it can be that addon b. does something because of the event from addon a.
the same can happen when you have formatted searches that do something when a field changes.
ok - that are my last tipps for this day
good night
David
