How do I import .mov file from Canon T4i/650D into Avid Media Composer

After learning this following guide, you will know how to import and convert Canon T4i/650D H.264 MOV footages to Avid Media Composer on Mac OS X and edit the 1080p mov video with DNxHD codec easily.


The Canon EOS Rebel T4i Digital Camera is an ideal camera for any level photographer. T4i features incredible image quality with an 18 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor, Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor that helps capture all the action with high-speed continuous shooting of up to five frames per second and an extended ISO range of 100-12800 (expandable to 25600 in H mode) that gives digital photographers the opportunities to take the Canon EOS Rebel T4i into more shooting situations than ever before.

Canon T4i uses the same workflow as the Canon EOS series of cameras which includes the 550D (T2i), 600D (T3i), and 1000D (XS), because it records in the same H.264 MOV format. Although the tools for importing the footage have been updated by Canon, it seems not working well when ingesting T4i footage to Avid Media Composer. Below, I will throw a quick tutorial up on how to import videos from Canon T4i/650D into Avid MC without the EOS Movie Plugin-E1.

As H.264 codec is not good for editing, the H.264 compression format requires that files be transcoded into a format better suited to editing, effects, and color grading. To successfully put your Canon T4i footage into Avid Media Composer for smoothly editing on Mac, you're suggested to transcode Canon T4i mov to DNxHD, which perfectly supported by Avid software. Along with some help from a third-party software.

Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac is a well known professional converter which can deal nearly all kinds of MOV videos, it can convert Canon T4i H.264 MOV files to DNxHD codec MOV natively for Avid Media Composer on Mac, and then you can edit Canon T4i MOV files natively in Avid MC.
Just download a free trial and take a look at the brief guide below.

Transcoding/Importing Canon T4i H.264 footage to Avid Media Composer

Getting 1080p .MOV files from Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 to work in After Effects CS6

Summary: This guide will help you easily transcode Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 1080p MOV files to After Effects CS6 for editing.


When I got a hands-on sneak peek of the new 18-megapixel Canon EOS Rebel SL1 digital SLR last month, I was told that the "SL" in the model name stood for "super lightweight." And that it is. The new Lilliputian Rebel SL1 feels as light as most compact system cameras -- and nearly as small -- especially with a Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lens attached to the front of it. Clearly, the burgeoning, mirrorless CSC market is what Canon is aiming to take on with the fully mirrored SL1.

Canon Rebel SL1 is also called EOS 100D, I would rather use real dedicated video camera to shoot movies as Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 can shoot 1080p30 video recordings. But recently I have encounter an problem with "importing Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 1080p MOV to Adobe After Effects CS6" like someone asked in the forum:

Q1. I have a Canon 100D and wanted to edit HD video in Adobe After Effects CS6. Every time I try to import MOV into after effects it doesn't support it or something. Why? Was I supposed to do something else?

Q2. I am a beginner in using Adobe After Effects CS6 with Rebel SL1 footages. I am trying to import files (videos) with extensions like MOV. They will not import; After Effects doesn't support that file type according to the program. I am non-pro, it's home use. Any insights?

Q3. I have a weird problem with importing MOV files into Adobe After Effects CS6. When I try to import my MOV file, it says the file type is unsupported. I don't get it, can anyone help me? It was working fine as I was using it to play around with video I recorded by my new Canon SL1/100D on QuickTime , so think it was because of something I did.

What is the main reason?

Much to the disappointment of new filmmakers that they are not familiar with the 1080p .mov format, as MOV is just a container file and 1080p is in high quality. As the incompatibile codec, the footage created with Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 could not be imported to After Effect, including the latest After Effect CS6 unless you convert Canon 100D/SL1 MOV to After Effects compatible MPG (MPEG-1. MPEG -2, MPEG -4), WMV, MOV.

With a professional and top MOV to After Effects converting program called Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac, you can not only convert Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 1080p MOV to MPG, WMV,mov to import Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 MOV to After Effects, but also allows you to adjust video resolution, frame rate, bitrate, encoder and audio sample rate, channel, bitrate, encoder to get a better vision according to your needs. You may choose to cut off black sides by crop feature, split a time length segment by clip and tweak saturation, brightness, contrast by effects. It is 100& clean without any virus, adware and pop-ups.  Below is a quick guide of converting Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 1080p mov for editing in AE CS6.


Step one: Download
Download MOV to AE CS6 Converter, and click to install.
 

Note: this is a Mac oriented solution. For Windows users the Pavtube Studio offers alternative HD Video Converter for PC, which is very similar to the Mac HD Video Converter. 

Step two: Load videos  

After launching the 
Mac MOV to AE CS6 Converter. Click "Add Video" and browse to a Canon .mov clip and the software will add it to file list. Repeat the operation to load multiple movvideos. Or you may click the "Add Folder" button to import all the .mov files in the MOV file structure. 


Step three:  Select proper output format  
Click on "Format" and choose "Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas> MPEG-2 (*.mpg)" format as the best codec for editing Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 MOV in Adobe After Effect CS6

In the drop down list of profiles, select After Effects format WMV or MOV.


Step four. Settings.
Click on "Settings" to redefine output quality. You can also set a different video resolution (1920x1080/1440x1080/1280x720/720x480), frame rate (24p/30p), bitrate, audio channels, etc. For users who would like to retain exactly the same settings (without any quality loss), set target settings the same to source video. 

Step five: Start conversion

Click "Convert" to start transcode Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 1080p MOV for After Effect CS6 editing on Mac.

After conversion click "Open" to find .mpg videos and import converted .mpg files to Adobe After Effect CS6 for editing.

Now you can successfully handle Canon EOS 100D/Rebel SL1 1080p mov file in After Effects well. Just have a try!

Basically, "Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)" is the best format for 
converting 550D footage to FCP.



If you prefer smaller file size, choose "Apple ProRes 422 (LT) (*.mov)" instead. 


Step three. Click the "Settings" button and set proper video/ audio parameters.

My advice is to set the video size, bitrate and fame rate to be exactly as the footages so that you will suffer least quality degradation.

For example, when the video is shot at 1920*1080, 5mbps, 30fps, you could set Size-1920*1080, Bitrate-original, Frame rate-30.

If you would like to use default settings, simply skip this step. 



Step four. Click the "Browse" button next to the Output File Name field and select a location on your HDD for the output video file. 

Step five. Click the "Convert" button to start conversion. After conversion you can click the "Open" button to locate converted video files for importing to FCP without rendering.

Now can easily transcode T2i/550D 1080P H.264 files to FCP X compatible format for editing, this software runs fast, so you can convert your T2i/550D footages to FCP in less time.

Does Sony Vegas like handling the Canon EOS-5D h.264 MOV files well

This article will show the best way to convert Canon 5D HD MOV to WMV for Sony Vegas editing. 

The Canon EOS 5D is a digital sngle lens reflex (DSLR) camera that can capture high definition stills and movie clips. It saves movie clips in-camera using a Compact Flash (CF) memory card. Canon bundles a simple free software package with the camera. Canon's supplied software applications are named ZoomBrowser for Windows and ImageBrowser for Mac which can play movie clips, and also perform rudimentary movie editing, but it not for windows, and some people have been asking importing issues about Canon 5D into Sony Vegas on Windows. 

I'm new to DSLR editing and have a bunch of 5D footage for a music video I just shot, and now need to edit it. I use Sony Vegas and have a relatively not that high performance laptop (about 4 years old) that has seen me through other editing projects, but I always feel theres a bit of a loss in quality in the finished product. I thought I'd ask, or if anyone can point me in the direction of places to find information, on 5D workflow for editing in Sony Vegas. If theres no hope for Vegas and my slow computer I will look into other options such as getting new editing software or borrowing someones mac or something. 

I've been annoyed that sony vegas and most other apps on my PC can't play the 5D full HD .mov files smooth. I was so excited about not having to transcode any files from shooting to editing.
