Eos vr r5c plug in

Got the camera; a chap on youtube says Premiere will see the file and convert it to equirectangular, but the reality is the opposite.....

 

Has anyone managed to load this plug successfully?

Does Adobe automatically acknowledge and convert?

 

Does the Canon plug-in extract to the correct place? the subscription and activation folder has to be found and activated.

If anyone has succeeded, what format did you shoot in raw....mp4...etc?

 

Can anyone write a breakdown of how to install for Dummies...(not just for me Canon may find this useful too)?

Adobe sees the fish eye images in all formats on youtube simply drag and drop adobe converts...not so to an extent Adobe must have some input into plugins as they have a reputation to maintain; the Canon VR utility worked but was poor and only saw mp4 files...limited to this format.

 

I have very little hair left most has been pulled out.

 

If the plugin is in Java, does it need to be extracted into a container in Premiere, or does it work from the plug-ins folder....I may have put my question across....help begins to dribble and mumble...

 

Thank you,

Philip

    Tested this today on Mac M1 16" laptop and Premiere Pro v23.0 and macOS 12.6

    A few quick notes on common issues I see.. 

     

    (1) Make sure you are running the latest version of the Canon plug-in as it now supports R5C (not Canon Raw files)

    You can download here:  https://sas.image.canon/st/en/vru.html?region=1 

    There are 2 downloads - One is their  Canon EOS VR Utility to convert their camera MP4 files into Equirectangler  files so you can Export to different codecs. The second is the Premiere Pro Plugin which will automatically apply the settings when you import into Premiere Pro.

     

    (2) Canon has not updated their plugin to support native Apple Silicon(M1/M2) yet and you'll need to make sure you are running in Rosetta mode (get info on Premiere Pro application and check the Rosetta box).

     

    **Note** currently Canon only supports their MP4 file which also writes a "Side Car File" .XML that tells the VR Utility various settings . You need both files to make things work. If you are moving media around, make sure to grab the matching XML file.

     

    Common Errors

    If you import Canon .mp4 footage into Premiere and you see both "round" images instead of 2 Equirectangler images then the plugin is not working and you need to either install it or you are running on an M1/M2 mac and not launched in Rosetta mode. Windows 10/11 worked as expected.

     

    If  you need to make an adjustment, you need to select the file in the timeline first and then goto the Effects Panel and lastly click on Source settings and you will see the Canon VR controls. This only works in  Source settings and not as an applied effect. 

     

    Lastly - I made quick graphic to show a few picts of what I mentioned above... 

     

    hope this helps....

    We followed these steps in our lab but the EOS VR Plugin does not appear for us.  Any suggestions?

    Here is a picture of what it shows for us on our adobe premier. 


    from the picture you are not clicking on the Source • Canon Beach 180 Footage  . You have selected the Sequence 01• Canon Beach 180 Footage (it's highlighted Blue). Canon wrote their plugin as a Source Effect.

    Did you find a fix for this? I'm experiencing the same issue. Canon VR Utility doesn't recognize any of my canon raw  files, even when it's converted to mp4. And no VR plugin shows up in Premiere Pro. If you find a solution, please share! Thanks!!

    Hello Andrea

    I did manage to get things working, basically you need to shoot mp4 you can go to 8k but at 25fps, this will then open in Premiere ok shoot with a lower res proxy and work from that on the other card prctice and keep at it.....I get Friday off from the asylum for good behaviour and not mentioning Adobe......Philip

    Thank you Philip! I am not able to reshoot unfortunately. Did you find any workaround using Canon Raw files in Adobe or Canon Utility? Or you just abandoned it and shooting mp4s? Many thanks, Andrea

    Sorry, Sam. That is frustrating! Can you report the bug here? I will also ask the team about this plug-in.

     

    Thanks,

    I'm with you. The EOS VR Utility doesn't open up any file type, and the plug in doesn't appear in Premiere Pro. I've currently got nothing working. Bloody nightmare!
