  • Importing video from Sony HDR-CX410 FCP 6.0.6 will not recognise AVCHD files. what is the solution?

    First I have to admit I'm not technical in any way so I'm easily confused so please forgive me if my question sounds unprofessional.
    The computer is a Mac desk top tower with Lion OS x 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon with an  internal hard drive plus a number of remote hard drives.
    I'm using Final cut pro 6.0.6 to edit video.
    The question is, up until now I've been using material shot on mini DV tapes, then digitised into the computer via the camera. As this format is getting long in the tooth I decided to get one of the latest DVCAM cameras, I went for the Sony HDR-CX410.
    It was not until I had purchased the camera & shot a few test seq. & then tried to down load into the computer that I found out that Final cut does not recognise the AVCHD files on the SD card.I've tried importing from the camera as well as a card reader with no result.
    I've looked at a number of sites including Apple support community where it looks like this is a major issue for many people but I can't find anyone who is using the same camera. I wondered if this issue is something you have covered in the magazine, if so please let me know which copy, if not can you help in any way. It appears that Final cut proX may be able to translate the AVCHD files but I'm not sure. Am I right in thinking that if I do upgrade to FCPX I will still have to convert the files, if so would you recommend a suitable software program.  Is there any reason why Apple make it so difficult to edit this AVCHD format when all the latest cameras are using it, perhaps its time to change back to a PC?

    Eric,
    FCP 6.0.2 (compared to previous version) comes with the latest improvement and support for AVCHD.
    However, here is a suggestion:
    In Log&Transfer (top frame) on the right of *search field* there are three buttons, click on the one showing a little arrow-down and a sort of little star. Choose preferences then in the *transcode to* section click on those two tiny arrows pointing one up and the other down and choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Can you now transfer? (Add selection to queue)
    Once again 6.0.2 might provide better support for your camera.
    Use the search tool for more info.
    G.
    PS. Please note that some people have had problems with 6.0.2 so get us much info as you can before updating.

  • Importing video from Sony HDR-SR12 to Final Cut Express 4.0

    I have an iMac (iMAC5,1), Intel core 2 duo, 2 GHz processor speed and 1 Gb memory. I have a new Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder. I attempted to import the video to my iMovie 07, but was unsuccessful. I also attempted to import this video to my Final Cut Express 4.0 but had no luck either. I have no trouble importing my photos from the camcorder to PC, why such an issue with the video? Is there something I can do? I have heard that HD video is not compatible with iMovie 07, but shouldn't it work with Final Cut Express 4.0 or is it my iMac hardware?

    In short, none of the above.
    iMovie '07 and FCE4 are both compatible with HD video, and so is your iMac. If you would like us to help, it would be nice to know your workflow. How are you attempting within FCE to import the footage? Provide us some details here to work with and maybe we can be of more help.

  • IPad Air won't import video from Sony Cyber-shot W830 camera

    We are able to import pictures from a Sony Cyber-shot W830 camera to an iPad Air using the lightning to USB adapter and a powered USB hub. However, if there is video on the camera along with the pictures, or only video on the camera, no option to import to the iPad will show up. I can get video onto the iPad by syncing with iTunes but I'd like to be able to accomplish it using the adapter when we are away from home and without internet access. Any suggestions?

    I have got some photos on card, so can't format before importing.
    Anyway, after I imported the photos on my old Macbook pro, I format the card in camera, no selection for FAT32, FAT or ... After formatting, I took some new photos for a test. On the new Macbook, the same problem occurred again.

  • Can't import video from Sony HDR cx550v without video aliasing. Tried multiple settings in capture settings but doesn't seem to change log and transfer settings in FCS.

    I tried importing into Imovie but it will only let me in Large format not Full. There has to be a way to import full 1920 x 1080/60i in Final Cut right?

    Make sure you are watch your clip in QuickTime 7, not QuickTime X.
    Open the file in QuickTime 7, and go to the menu QuickTime Player 7 > Preferences and make sure you have
    Use high-quality video setting when available, and Enable Final Cut Studio Color Compatibility are checked.
    When you view the clip in the Viewer in Final Cut Pro, you will generally see some degradation to the video unless you have the Viewer (and/or Canvas) set to display at 100% magnification. You may need to resize your windows if you set the viewer to that size.

  • IMovie '09 Won't Import HD Content from Sony HDR-SR11 Camcorder

    Hi,
    iMovie stopped importing HD content from Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder. It only recognizes the standard definition content in the preview thumbnails. Previously this used to work with both a FireWire cable and a Mini USB. All of a sudden it doesn't import HD clips. There's no plugin failure either, because I reinstalled iMovie '09.
    System Specifications:
    Intel iMac 20" (Late 2008)
    Intel Core 2 Duo@ 2.4 GHz.
    4 GB RAM
    Snow Leopard (10.6.4)
    Thanks!

    With this camera you must erase the SD clips from the camera before you can import the HD clips.

  • Can I directly upload video from my HDR-SR11 SONY to Premiere Pro???

    Can I directly upload video from my HDR-SR11 SONY to Premiere Pro???

    thank you Shoot.  I was afraid that the n word would answer that querie.  OK.  Please recommend a FREE software that I can use to import on to the hard drive that is reliable and w/out error messages e.g. "Browser will close" as in sonys PMH a new replacement for PMB that fails horribly.  I uninstalled and installed the Sony  PMH four or five times w/Sony "Techs" [I you want to call them that].  And they admitted that the software has problems.  The final solution from the "tech" on the phone was that to just keep on uninstalling and install until it worked.  Wow!  That coming from Sony the electronics Giant.  Below is the transcript of one of the chats concerning this issue.

  • Importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder

    Looking for help on importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder.
    I recently purchased a new imac (1st mac) and imported the stored video on my Sony 120GB HDD camcorder. I would estimate that this is approximately 60-80 GB worth of video on the camcorder but when I imported this has become over 800GB on my imac and basically fills the HD.
    My question is - is this normal or am I doing something wrong.
    Cheers

    Unfortunately the video from the current crop of High Def capable cameras use a really highly compressed file format to save video. The one most used is called AVCHD and it can really save a lot of space ON THE CAMERA if you like to shoot at the highest resolution. However to edit that video, it needs to be decompressed so that iMovie can preview it, and edit it accurately down to the individual video frame level (1/30th of a second). So the short answer is you're not doing anything wrong, those video clips can expand up to 40-75GBytes per hour of video after they are imported into the iMovie Events folders. However it is entirely possible to store the iMovie Events folders on an additional external hard drive. And that's usuallly the best solution for anyone quickly running out of space.

  • How do I import movies from sony HDR PJ200

    How do I import movies from sony HDR PJ200?

    hi, if your movies are recorded in AVCHD formats, they are not supported by iMovie so far. So, to make the conversion seems to be the best choice now. Except the brorsoft suggested by emmalucky, Video Mate also fits your mac well. IMovie accepted video formats includs .DV, .MOV, .MPEG-4, .M4V、H.264, .AIC. So, you can convert your movies to above video formats. Hope this help.

    Hi
    Sony TRV22E - CAN ONLY export the VIDEO material via a FireWire Cable (iLinc)

    if only Thunderbolt - Then You need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter.
    The USB- can only copy over the Still photos You also cam take with Your Camera. Will NEVER work for Video Export.

  • Can't import videos from Sony A55

    I can't import videos from Sony A55. Anybody can?

    Fellows,
    I have an A55 as well and iMovie 8.0.6 and can not import the AVHD movies. When I look into my Kingston SD card I get a directory with 5 folders, AVF_INFO, DCIM, MISC, MP_ROOT, and private. In private there is a folder called AVCHD, in which there are 3 folders, AVCHDTN, BDMV, AND IISVPL. In BDMV there is 3 folders and two files. The folders are CLIPINF, PLAYLIST, and STREAM. In STREAM there are the .MTS files. I have tried importing them, importing STREAM, and importing BDMV, all without success. Do you know what I am doing wrong, do I need the new iMovie, any other ideas ?
    Thank you
    Bruce Bodner
