Ingest Canon XF300 footage onto HDD and Import Canon XF300 .mxf to Avid Media Composer

Categories:

Avid Media Composer

by

With every new camera, comes many new questions about workflow. The term ‘workflow’ can be fairly broad, but today I am looking at importing Canon XF300 footage into various non-linear editing systems (NLE). The Canon XF300 uses the same workflow as the Canon XF series of cameras (which includes the XF305, XF300, XF105 and XF100), because it records in the same .mxf format. Below, I outline how to ingest footage onto a hard drive, and how to import into Avid Media Composer.

1. Back Up Canon XF300 footage to computer hard drive

Canon  provides a piece of software called the Canon XF utility, which is used to playback and download clips off their original media. The footage on the CF card can be backed up with the XF Utility by clicking on the ‘Backup’ button on the upper left corner. Before doing so, make sure you set the location to store your footage in the Preferences menu.

2. Import Canon XF300 footage to Avid Media Composer

To bring your Canon C300 footage into Avid Media Composer, it’s advised that you convert Canon XF300 footage to a native editing format for Avid. Native HD camera compression formats (including .mxf) are efficient, but simply aren’t engineered to maintain quality during complex post production effects processing. Uncompressed HD delivers superior image quality, but data rates and file sizes can stop a workflow dead in its tracks. Avid DNxHD delivers both efficiency and quality without compromises. And it is supported on Media Composer, NewsCutter, Symphony, Avid DS, and Interplay Assist. Here’s how to convert Canon XF300 .mxf to Avid DNxHD video:

Required Tool: MXF Converter for Windows | MXF Converter for Mac

Step 1. Add Canon MXF footage to the Canon MXF Converter.

Click “Add” to load the source Canon MXF files. When the Canon MXF files are loaded to the MXF Converter, you can view the videos from the Preview window.


Step 2. Set Avid DNxHD MOV as output format for Canon MXF to Avid MC conversion.

Click on “Format”, and select output format from the drop-down list. Follow “Avid Media Composer” > “Avid DNxHD 720p(*.mov)”. This format creates videos of medium quality, if you feel like keeping higher visual quality, choose “Avid DNxHD 1080p(*.mov)” format.

When set output folder, or click the icon folder in Output box and browse to the destination folder.

Step 3. You can click settings button to adjust the output video’s parameters, such as resolution, bitrate, codec and frame rate, etc.

Step 4. Convert Canon XF300 MXF to Avid DNxHD MOV for importing to Avid Media Composer.

Click “Convert” button and the selected Canon XF305 MXF files will be converted to Avid DNxHD MOV. You may check the converting progress and set auto shutdown in the convert window.

After conversion, click “Open” folder to find converted Canon XF300 footage for importing to Avid Media Composer. The importing steps reference here:

How to import and manage your videos, projects, and media onto Avid Media Composer

How to direct import media files to Avid Media Composer on Mac

Additional Editing Features of the MXF Converter for Mac

– Trim, combine, de-interlace Canon MXF footage, capture Canon XF300 frame.

Trim Canon MXF clips: Click “Edit” to enter video editor, by default the “Trim” tab is activated, so just set start time and end time to include the duration you want to remain, cutting others out.

Combine/Join Canon MXF files: If you would like to join several files together, just select these files and check the Merge into one box.

De-interlace Canon MXF: Some footage may be saved as interlaced video with Juggled edges and ghosting. In that case you can set deinterlace effect to eliminate the combing. Follow “Edit”-> “Effect”-> “Deinterlacing”.

Capture frame from Canon MXF: To thumbnail video frame, you may click the “Snapshoot” button when it plays to your favorable frame.

Workflow for importing Sony NEX-VG900 AVCHD to Final Cut Pro 6/7 or Final Cut Pro X on Mac Mountain Lion

Categories:

Final Cut Pro

by

Summary: In the following guide, i will demonstrate how to encode/log and transfer Sony NEX-VG900 AVCHD to Final Cut Pro 6/7 or Final Cut Pro X preferred ProRes 422 codec to make your gorgeous masterpieces.

The Sony NEX-VG900 camcorder is the first Handycam camcorder with a 35mm sensor for high-quality HD video with a truly professional look, which exploits the artistic potential of interchangeable lenses. More than the new 35mm sensor, the Sony NEX-VG900 camcorder also offers you creative control to deliver image and videos the way you envision it, even in dimly-lit environments. The NEX-VG900 captures gorgeous high quality video in 1080 Full HD in 24p, 60p and 60i, thus astounding film-like results can be achieved easily. However, users often stumped on importing issues when loading Sony NEX-VG900 AVCHD footage into Final Cut Pro 6/7 or Final Cut Pro X for post-production on Mac Mountain Lion 10.8. What’s more, Sony NEX-VG900 camcorder records AVCHD format video, and it uses MPEG-4/H.264 codec, this codec is not good for editing in Final Cut Pro X/7/6.

Symptom:

  • “I have a new Sony NEX-VG900 interchangeable lenses camcorder on hand. It created some AVCHD footage in 1080 60p quality. My objective is importing these files into Final Cut Pro X for editing use. But I haven’t figured out how to do this. So my question is how can I edit the 1080 60p AVCHD clips after shooting them with the Sony NEX-VG900 camcorder?”
  • “Hello guys, I shot with a Sony NEX-VG900 camcorder and I’d like to import its AVCHD footage into Final Cut Pro X for editing use. The VG900 camera was not mine and I did not have easy access to it. I googled for a solution, many people suggested to decode the AVCHD footage to Apple ProRes codec. I tried it, but the converter app I used on my MacBook Pro did not work at all. It refused to convert my large 1080p60 materials. Any hints on an available Mac converter? I don’t want to loose much quality in the conversion process. Thanks in advance.”

Solution:

Although Apple claims that Final Cut Pro has native support for AVCHD files, users still have problems one or another when trying to edit those footage within FCP 6/7 or the latest FCP X. To solve this problem directly, you can transcode Sony NEX-VG900 MTS to Apple ProRes – the FCP preferred editing format in advance by using a Mac Sony MTS to Final Cut Pro Converter. Below is HOW-TO.

Free Download Sony MTS to Final Cut Pro Converter for Mac

                      

1. Load Sony NEX-VG900 AVCHD footage.

Open up Sony MTS to Final Cut Pro Converter for Mac, hit “Add video” or “Add from folder” tab to load AVCHD files directly from your camera or from the HDD that stored your Sony VG900 footage.

2. Choose output format

Hit the “Format” menu to choose “Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” as output format from “Final Cut Pro” catalogue. Apple ProRes as Final Cut Pro 6/7/X compatible codec for editing AVCHD MTS files in Final Cut Pro X/7/6 smoothly.

3. You can click “settings” to customize the output parameters, adjust the resolution, bitrate as you want. Set video size as 1920*1080, video frame rate as 30fps is better.

4. Convert Sony NEX-VG900 AVCHD to Apple ProRes 422 MOV

Hit “Convert” tab to encode Sony NEX-VG900 AVCHD to Apple ProRes 422 MOV on Mac Mountain Lion.

In addition, the NEX-6 becomes the first NEX camera to feature the Sony’s revived Quick Navi interactive control panel and an ISO-standard hotshoe. The NEX-6 is launched along with a 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 retractable power zoom lens creating a much smaller zoom kit than was previously possible with the NEX system.

Sony NEX-6 – with Leica M wides

Categories:

Review

by

Bit the bullet and bought a Sony NEX 6 to use with Leica M glass.

I am using it with 21 SEM, 35 Lux FLE (and 50 Lux ASPH and 90 AA).

Wanted to report there is no smearing or colour shift issues with these lenses. I know Sony tinkered with the sensor for optimising the AF, so there was a doubt in relation to how this may perform with wides compared with NEX 5N. Can’t comment on how this performs with other wides thought.

I am blown away by the camera. I have the 5D II , plus Zeiss glass and am considering downsizing. Initially I was very dissappointed with the images using the Sony software, the images looked very soft. I am used to Canon’s DPP software which is much better in comparison. I am using LR4 now and am impressed.

The camera is great. It feels and operates really nicely. The build quality is great. Unlike the NEX 7, it features a lot of rubber and speccled paint. Feels very much like my 5DII build wise.

The mf experience is awesome with focus peaking and magnification.

This is my first NEX camera, and I’m just really impressed with the it. The EVF is awesome, the menu, and camera layout is straight forward.

The eyecup is close to the flash mount and it can get a bit crammed when mounting an external flash.

Here are some test shots, these are processed with the Sony software. Most are in very harsh midday sunlight, will post more shots when I get a chance. Thanks.

Sony NEX-6 Review: Sony NEX-6 VS Sony NEX-7

Categories:

Review

by

Introduction

Sitting between the high-end Sony NEX-7 and beginner-to-enthusiast level Sony NEX-5R, the 16.1 million pixel Sony NEX-6 is compact system camera aimed at DSLR and DSLT customers who are looking for high image quality in a much smaller body.

A couple of key features distinguish the Sony NEX-6 from the Sony NEX-5R below it. First up there’s a 2.359k dot OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF) built in, offering an alternative to the 3-inch 921,600-dot LCD screen for composing and reviewing images.

The camera is also compatible with apps that can be downloaded from Sony’s PlayMemories camera apps service. This include apps such as Picture Effects, Remote Control and Direct Upload (to Facebook or PlayMemories Online). More apps will become available over time.

The NEX-6 has built-in DNLA-compliant Wi-Fi and on-camera apps. While the app collection is rather limited at announcement, Sony has made clear it plans to expand offerings in the near future. And the possibility of enhancing your camera’s current capabilities through user-friendly app downloads, as opposed to firmware updates is one that could be worth the wait. As it stands, you can can push images from the NEX-6 to an iOS or Android smartphone, or straight to Facebook (or Sony’s PlayMemories site) across a Wi-Fi network. You can also use your smartphone as a remote viewfinder/trigger.

Sony NEX-6 specification highlights

16.1MP CMOS sensor
2.3 million dot resolution OLED EVF
ISO 100-25600
Control dial
Dedicated Fn button
‘Quick Navi’ display
Multi interface hotshoe (supports standard contacts and proprietary connector)
Wi-Fi for connection via Wi-Fi networks or to smartphones
Proprietary in-camera apps
Built-in flash (GN 6)
Electronic First Curtain shutter
1080p 60p HD movies in AVCHD (50p on PAL region models)

Sony NEX-6 VS Sony NEX-7

There is precious little other than sensor size (16mp versus 24MP) and price to separate the NEX-6 from Sony’s flagship NEX-7. If you have no need for output beyond 16MP and are willing to trade the NEX-7’s Tri-Navi control interface and external mic socket for a mode dial, Wi-Fi connectivity and a Quick Navi menu, you can get the NEX-6 with a co-announced 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS power zoom for an attention-grabbing MSRP of $US 999. In discussions with us, Sony has acknowledged it expects the NEX-6 to have a direct impact on sales of the higher-priced NEX-7.

The NEX-6 is virtually indistinguishable from the NEX-7, being marginally taller only due to its protruding mode dial. It has more gently rounded edges along its top plate and lacks the metal construction of Sony’s flagship model, but is still a solid-feeling camera.

Both cameras incorporate the same 3 inch LCD and OLED EVF. Button layout is very similar, with differences only in the placement of the movie record button (which has been much-criticized on the NEX-7). The NEX-6 has two control dials (versus three on the NEX-7) and a mode dial. It also lacks an AF/MF switch. The NEX-6 is shown here with the included rubber eyepiece cup.

Along the top plate there is little meaningful distinction between the cameras other than the dial arrangement. Yet the small power zoom kit lens, which covers nearly the same focal length range as the older 18-55mm lens on the NEX-7, offers a much more compact package.

With a full price of around £769/AU$1,099/US$849.99 body-only or £899/AU$1,299/US$999.99 with the kit lens.

ePhotozine posted the full chart test pictures while the dutch Pixelmania (translation here) posted the full NEX-6 review and gets recommended by the reviewer team. There is also a camera test with the 16-50mm pancake lens test at Lesnumeriques (translation here). And also German reviewers are testing the Sony NEX-6 like at Chip.de(translation here). Now four Sony cameras are on the top 5 list at Chip.de. French readers may be happy to learn about the Sony deal described at Lemondedelaphoto.

Finally the Sony NEX-6 is hitting all worldwide stores (but not in US) and click those direct links to check out price and in Stock status: Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, Wex UK, Wex Germany Sonystore DE–UK–FR–IT–ES–NL–SE–FI–CH and more links at Alphacameradeals.

Plenty of auctions are available on eBay (here on Slidoo).

Knowledge expansion:

  • 1. Records in up to 29 minutes segments.
  • 2. Attaching Sony A-mount lens requires LA-EA1 (note: Autofocus available with SSM and SAM series lenses when using LA-EA1) or LA-EA2 adaptors (sold separately).
  • 3. Requires compatible BRAVIA? HDTV and HDMI? cable sold separately.
  • 4. Requires an active 802.11 Wi-Fi network (802.11n recommended) or PlayMemories Mobile? app installed on compatible Android? or iOS device. PlayMemories camera apps require download with existing Sony Entertainment Network account. Download available in all countries/areas where Sony Entertainment Network is available.

Transcode Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio recorder MXF DNxHD (185X) to Apple ProRes for Final Cut Pro X editing

Categories:

Final Cut Pro

by

Overview:

The Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio recorder is a file-based deck that records uncompressed in QuickTime and compressed in ProRes and DNxHD, storing the files onto two 2.5″ SSDs. Two SSD slots are available and allow continuous recording–the second disk automatically begins recording when the first becomes full. The disks can afterwards be hooked up to a computer by USB.

Material eXchange Format (MXF) is a container format for professional digital video and audio media defined by a set of SMPTE standards. MXF is a file format for the exchange of programme material between servers, tape streamers and to digital archives. Its contents may be a complete programme as well as complete packages or sequences. There are basic facilities available for cuts between sequences and audio crossfades. This way the sequences can be assembled into programmes. MXF is self-contained, holding complete content without need of external material. Read the rest of this entry »

Samsung EK-GC100 Galaxy Camera hit stores in the UK

Categories:

by

Samsung’s much-anticipated EK-GC100 Galaxy Camera finally hit stores in the UK late last week and we’ve managed to get our hands on one of the very first samples to cross the assembly line. We’re putting the Android-powered hybrid through its paces at this very moment, but since this is the company’s first entry in a brand new category, we wanted to have you along as we opened the box. This may be a camera, but it’s very much a Galaxy device, and that’s immediately evident when you first see the packaging.

The cam ships just as any premium smartphone, with a very thin selection of accessories — you get an AC adapter, USB cable, a wrist strap and a pair of pocket guides (there’s no user manual to speak of). Much like Samsung’s latest round of point-and-shoots, it uses microSD cards and charges via a micro-USB cable and AC adapter. Even the 1,650mAh battery looks like a smaller version of Samsung’s smartphone offering, rather than something that ships alongside the company’s traditional camera lineup. Rest assured, we’ll have much more to share later this week, but for now, we invite you to join as we unbox the Galaxy Camera in our video just past the break.
