Has anyone used the new JVC GZ-HD7 camera with FCE?

This camera is supposed to export files as an MPG-2 variant. Can they be imported directly into FCE without conversion?
Thanks.
Richard

Hey,
I got one. No you have to convert them into some type of QuickTime file. I downloaded the MPEG-2 QT Plug-In then I use either StreamClip or QuickTime Player to convert them. I convert them into H.264 just because that keeps the file size down some what.

  • Has anyone used the new Panasonic HDC-HS300 camcorder with FCE4 yet?

    I'm thinking of buying this new high definition camcorder, but would like to know whether anyone has used it: does the log/transfer manner of getting video into final cut espress work?
    I'm also interested in whether anyone has used the new Canon LEGRIA HF S10, with the same question.
    thanks,
    Steve

    Both of the cameras you provided links to should work fine with FCE. For the Canon and Panasonic cameras, you would use Log and Transfer to import the footage. This should work very smoothly as long as you shoot using 60i so it is compatible with the sequence in FCE. I use an AVCHD camcorder similar to the Canon you are looking at an it is working great for me.
    Things to keep in mind:
    1. Both HDV and AVCHD footage need to be converted to AIC in FCE upon capture/ingestion. FCE will do this automatically, but be prepared for large file sizes. A 15 minute project I created on my AVCHD camcorder at 1920x1080 took up about 15-20 GB of memory once converted to AIC.
    2. If you get an HDV or DV camera you will use Capture, not Log and Transfer.
    3. Becaues of the way AVCHD footage works, when FCE imports it the program creates intermediate frames between the ones the camera captures. This is normally OK but might be a problem for fast action shots.
    4. As Ian said, unless you plan to invest in more expensive equipment the DVDs you burn will actually be SD, not HD. I do this in iDVD and I have always been happy with the results.
    So I guess it is up to you: Do you prefer to shoot on tape or hard-drive, use firewire or USB to upload? If the answer is tape, firewire then HDV is for you. If hard-disc, USB, choose AVCHD. In the end it comes down to your personal preference. All of the cameras you have mentioned should be fine working with FCE.

  • Has anyone used the Nokia 2700 as a modem with the Macbook 10.6.7

    I have managed to sync my Nokia 2700 classic GSM handset to my Macbook through iSync. How can I use the phone as a modem if I have a 3G mobile service?
    Many thanks in advance,

  • Has anyone used the new 5K retina iMac with Lightroom

    Has anyone  used Lightroom with the new 5K Imac. If so any problems ?

    Just bought one - arrives next week. From what i can tell it's should be the fastest mac for lightroom. Processor speed is most vital. Doesn't really use all the mac pro multiple cores as I understand 4 is plenty (correct me pls?) and 16Gb ram should hopefully do it. Getting a raid thunderbolt 2 drive for image storage which will daisy chain with my eizo monitor. Choose 3tb internal fusion as I understand full SSD doesn't really help too much. 2GB graphics plenty unless you're doing video maybe?.
    Only issue is I have a series of archive 3TB firewire 800 drives which are daisy chained. the questions is how will these work with an adapter but this remains to be seen....

  • Has anyone used the new  DivX 10: HEVC ? If so, what results, better, worse, the same on streaming videos?

    Just simply would like to know if anyone has used the new DivX program? Generally I've had success with the older versions. I've had to uninstall and reinstall occasionally when something happens and the video won't buffer and it plays well. So, before I make the change I wondered if this is improved or what?

  • Has anyone used the new Quicken for Lion?

    Before updating to Lion and purchasing the new Quicken which is compatible with Lion, I wanted to see if others have used it yet and if there are any major problems.

    I have not experienced any problems with the new Quicken for Lion.  It's quite different from the old version but it seems to work quite well.  After installing Lion, the old version of Quicken was deemed useless.  It will not run on Lion, so access it before you update if you intend to extract any info from it.  Good luck!

  • Has anyone used the new 5K imac with AE CC and is it a big improvment speed wise or not?

    I am thinking about getting the 5K imac with the i7 4.4 GHz quad-core and AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5, but my big concern is that the video card is not Nvidia and does not use cuda core.
    I currently have a late 2012 imac with the 3.4 Intel Core i7 and a Nvidia GeFroce GTX 680MX 2048 MB and sometimes it is very slow when working with a lot of effects or layers.
    1. If you have any experience with the 5K imac, please let me know how you like it?
    2. Was Apple going to the AMD video card a good or bad thing?
    3. Do you think I would benefit any speed gain with the new 5K imac and by what percentage.

    The AMD video card is not a good hardware selection with the current media content creation software. Open CL is still lagging behind CUDA in performance and the CPU's did not change with the new Imac. So basically it's a new Imac with a updated video card and 5K screen. Not something I would suggest for Adobe if you already have an Nvidia solution.

  • Has anyone bought the new ATI/MSI RS480M2-IL s939 motherboard yet?

    Has anyone bought the new ATI/MSI RS480M2-IL s939 motherboard yet?
    If Yes, How is It?
    This seems from what I've read at least to be a good or even great overclocker, It's too bad that It isn't a full ATX motherboard, Maybe If sales are good enough MSI will use this chipset on a Full size ATX motherboard one day. Of course It does have an Integrated ATI video card in It and It have as much as 128Mb ram for the pci-e built-in video or You could add a separate pci-e video card in the 16x slot. It's $94.00 right now on pricewatch.com of course.

    Ordered one for a home workstation from ZipZoomFly.com. Also picked up a 3000+ and already have 1GB of Adata PC4000. Will be utilizing onboard video until I have the need/desire to upgrade to PCI-Express video card. Hard drive will be a new Maxtor 250GB ATA-133 16MB Cache that I picked up from CompUSA for $99/no rebates :D
    I will post my thoughts after the system is together, should have parts by Thursday/Friday.
    Well at least You aren't buying from Logic Circle Systems That place will ship incompatible ram that is Intel approved and say then It is You cpu that is at fault, I should know I'd bought zoom3's motherboard and some Wintec ram(Samsung chips ending in TCCC) and They said they were tested and AMD approved(They aren't, Wintrec is Junk on an AMD Platform), I now have a Corsair CMX512RE-3200LL Dimm and My cpus work fine at PC3200 speeds and above, Logic Circle Systems said was at fault. Logic Circle Systems is a bunch of Liars and are not trustworthy.

  • Has anyone used the mackeeper software?

    Has anyone used the mackeeper software?

    Short answer:  I don't recommend it, but it's not "a scam" or malware, per se.  If you use it, you may have some real performance issues.
    Me:  I was an actual MacKeeper user (paid version) for about two years.  What follows is my experience and conclusions.  I am not a paid reviewer, nor tech professional.  I am an educator with about 15 years of experience using Macs.  I am what most people would call a "prosumer," in that I know a good deal about my systerm, but am not a techie, anti-utility software zealot, etc.  I have no affiliation with Zeobit (manufacturer of MacKeeper) nor any of its competitors.
    I bought MacKeeper in 2011, and then upgraded last year.  I used it to remove junk files and duplicates, and experimented with the anti-virus software.  I didn't use most of the other features.
    The problem:  I am running a 2009 15" Macbook Pro 2.8GHZ Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 512GB HDD.  Over the past year, it has been having major performance issues.  Slowdowns, hangups, applications quitting and more were all becoming the norm.  I deleted duplicate files and ran MacKeeper a few times a month.  I also ran permissions repairs regularly (disk utility).  I looked for the cause of the slowdowns everywhere, from too many user accounts being open, to resource hogs.  I decided that MacKeeper's Anti-Virus software was just taking up too much RAM and CPU, so I disabled it.  I continued experiencing slowdowns and started monitoring my available RAM with a freeware app called Memory Clean.  It often reported that I had less than 500MB available, even with very light usage, application wise.  After "cleaning" memory, I could get my available RAM to about 1.5GB, max.  I struggled with these issues for a year or more, and was about ready to concede defeat and buy a new machine.  I figured my MBP was over four years old, and perhaps running Mountain Lion and normal wear/tear were just too much.
    This morning, I noticed that the biggest resource hog on my system was a process called "MacKeeper Helper." The process relaunches even when it is forced to quit.  It was consuming over 100MB of RAM and up to 99 percent of my CPU at times!  I also noticed a process called "anti-virus" that also could not be quit, and was consuming over 100MB of RAM itself.  I started researching how to kill these processes, and was introduced the the Great Online MacKeeper Controversy.  Here is what I learned:
    Some in the Mac community have pure hatred for this product (and some hate all like it).
    There were numerous user reports of it slowing down systems
    Zeobit seemed to be guilty of questionable ethics, particularly in its advertising.
    There was no way to stop MacKeeper Helper and Anti-Virus processes from running with deleting the entire application.
    I wasn't the only one annoyed by MacKeeper's system pop-ups, trying to sell me something I already bought.
    The software got good professional reviews, even from well-respected publications (e.g. MacWorld)
    It is often confused with Mac Defender, which WAS malware.  They two are not associated.
    The Decision:  After researching ways of fully uninstalling MacKeeper (and considering whether or not I should), I decided to try the uninstall instructions from the manufacturer.  It said that it would remove ALL traces of the application.  I also didn't want to get into too much Terminal work and manually deleting things, as some users suggested doing.  I followed the process (close app, drag to trash, enter password, click "uninstall").  I then ran a permissions repair and restarted.
    The Results:  I have been MacKeeper-free for about an hour as I write this. Put simply, my problems appear to be completely solved. MacKeeper Helper and Anti-Virus are gone.  Available RAM is now up to 2.75GB.  I have experienced no slowdowns or app crashes.  Even bootup appeared to be considerably faster.  Launching iPhoto with thousands of images now takes a few seconds instead of minutes.  Everything feels faster.  It's like I have my Mac back!  I was ready to admit defeat and dish out another $2500+ that I didn't have.  I now think that won't be necessary!
    What Should Yo Do? You'll find a lot of controversy out there between professional reviews, ethically dubious paid reviews, Zeobit's own defense through public statements, and Mac users themselves.  Some users like it, and swear up and down they are real people.  Others are extremely angry and hate the product with the passion of 1,000 burning suns.   All I can do is tell you my experience and make the following statement:
    The bottom line is that I would not install MacKeeper/buy MacKeeper on my Mac.  After investigating my own system's problems (which made iit nearly unusable) and concluding that MacKeeper might be the issue, I uninstalled it. Magically, all my issues went away.  So...I report, you decide.  Best of luck.

  • Has Anyone Found the New Version of the  iPod Radio Remote?

    Hi,
    Per iLounge, Apple released an updated ipod radio remote that has the most current version of Apple's ipod headphones as opposed to the shortened ones. I've checked on-line, Best Buy, Circuit City Compu World, Micro Center with no luck. I aslo tried the bricks-and-mortar Apple store...they looked at me like I had ten heads. Apparently they have the same sku as the old set.
    I posted a question to Apple Support, but no response yet. Has anyone found the new version anywhere?
    Thanks

    Thanks. I've submitted requests to Apple to find out if or when they will be shipping the new remote, but they have not responded within their promoted 24-hour timeframe. I'll try to order from Apple directly and hope I get the new headphones too!
    Thanks

  • Has anyone used the QuickUSB module (Bitswise Systems) to interface to a USB Camera via IMAQ for USB?

    Has anyone used the QuickUSB module made by Bitwise Systems with LabVIEW for image acquisition.   I have a USB camera and I'm trying to use the IMAQ for USB controls to no avail.   Any input is appreciated. 

    Are you using the NI-IMAQ for USB functions or are you calling the QuickUSB libraries from LabVIEW?  Unless the USB camera is DirectShow compliant, then it will not work with the NI-IMAQ for USB driver.  You can use the Code Interface Node in LabVIEW to call external dll's, and it looks like from QuickUSB's website that is the best way to go.  Hope this helps.

  • Has anyone gotten the new 640x480 videos to work?

    Has anyone gotten the new videos to transfer to their ipod? Mine keeps saying that they are not supported by ipod. Also does anyone know what bitrate for video is now supported?

    On Tuesday I updated my 8 month old video iPod with 1.2. This morning I successfully transferred Mulan I downloaded off iTunes and played it out to a normal TV. I did not see any compression artifacts that I would normally see from the previously downloaded TV shows such as Battlestar Galactica. This probably means that it has the more updated resolution.
