Sony Cam DCR-SX63 import to Ipad

Does anyone know if you can import the Sony SX63 movies to ipad.  I may have to convert them first, but I was hoping to just be able to import them!  I saw some threads on the mac forums, but no on the ipad.

Hi, I'm having the same issue with this camcorder: No audio. Under "get info" on one of the clips is says,
Codecs: MPEG2 Muxed
If I "demuxed" the file, will the audio be there? I just simple dragged the clips from the camcorder's disc-image onto my computer's hard drive. Double clicking the .MPG file opens it up in Quicktime by default. It plays like it is suppose to, but with no audio.
thx

    There is the interesting new thing called "the internet". Instead of wandering around aimlessly in this limitless expanse of data, I use a search engine to help me sift through the mass of information and find very useful stuff. My current favorite search engine is Google. When I type in "firewire 400 vs 800" into it's "search" window and hit "return", I get all sorts of useful information.

  • Importing movie with Sony camera help

    I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC38 video camera and have recorded some video that I would like to import into my imovie 08... I have the chord (USB) that connects the camera to my mac, and have plugged them in and my mac doesn't recognize my camera. I've turned my camera on, played back video on my camera, and still nothing.
    Anyone know any tips on how to get my mac to recognize my camera? Any help would be great. Thanks!

    You can't import from any tape based camcorder without a Firewire cable. If you have the newest MacBook Pro, it will have a 9 pin port, in which case you need to buy a 4 to 9 pin cable. If you have an older MacBook, it will need a 4 to 6 pin cable. If you have a new MacBook, you are out of luck as there is no firewire port.
    All firewire cables, or iLink From Sony, are the same. Shop by price.

  • How to pass my pics from my Sony camera to my iPad

    I am really new on this kind of devices, please somebody help, thanks

    There are a few options
    Import those photos into your computer then sync them onto your iPad
    Upload the photos from your computer onto an internet based service then download them onto your iPad (like Dropbox)
    get the camera connection kit and import the photos from your camera onto the iPad, either with a card reader (may/may not work since the CCK works iwth SD cards and sony's don't use that) or use the USB option of the camera kit to import the photos directly from your camera into the ipad.

  • Importing video from Sony Camcorder DCR-SR87 to IMovie

    I have a sony camcorder DCR-SR87 and a MacBook running the latest operating system and and IMovie 11.   According to the Apple techincal people the new operating system will not read the format from my camcorder so I can't import my video.  Has anyone found a work around for this problem?

    I am not sure why this camera will not work. If Apple Support is telling you that they can't make it work, then I'll take your word for it.
    There is still a way that might work for you.
    First, get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. This is a free App for your Mac.
    Drag one of the MPEG2 files from the camera (thorugh the Finder) into MPEG Streamclip.
    Try FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec as the codec.
    You can import the Apple Intermediate Codec MOV files into iMovie using FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE.
    If this works, there is a way do to app your clips in batch.
    MPEG Streamclip may tell you that you need to purchase the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. This component is from Apple and costs $20 to download. Follow the instructions on the MPEG Streamclip website for how to install this component. Apple will tell you that you do not need this component for Lion, but MPEG Streamclip may still need it.
    Then try to do the conversion again.
    Let me know if any of this is not clear.

  • Problem Importing with Sony Handycam DCR HC30

    Here's the problem...I can't import my video footage to Imovie HD 06 via firewire. I have a HC30, and a HC32 and neither will import to my computer. They both used to import about a year ago, but won't anymore. My dad's camera (a HC21) will import with no problem, so I know it's not the cable or firewire port on the computer.
    What is going on here? I need help with this before i loose my mind!!!

    hi, did you get this resolved? I'm in what sounds like the same situation, which is desperate now. I am trying to import from a Sony Handycam - DCR-HC37 mini DV cam into my Macbook Pro with iMovie HD 06.
    I plugged it into a friend's new Macbook 2 weeks ago and it worked fine, but then last week when I tried it in his Macbook again it wouldn't work.
    It worked fine on my Macbook Pro with iMovie - about 8 months ago, but now it won't show up in iMovie, no matter how many times I disconnect it - reconnect it, restart camera, restart laptop. I have to show some footage at one of the most respect art institutions in England next week, and if I don't get this footage I've been collecting over the last 2 months off my Handycam I am going to be in deep trouble!!!
    I really hope that someone can make sense of this problem, I've seen lots of people posting similar problems, but I don't know if this has a resolve or not.

  • Importing to FCPX from Sony Camera

    I am trying to import 1080/60P clips from a current Sony camera into FCPX.
    I am well aware of the tradeoff of size vs editing ease between AVCHD and ProRes. In this case I have hundreds of clips, most of which will be trimmed drastically if they are used at all. So I am hoping to do a rough cut in native format, then transcode that rough cut for final editing and cleanup. Should be a big saving in disk space. I have a new quad core Mac that should be able to play the native clips quite well.
    I already have an archive of the camera files on a Firewire 800 drive. I was hoping that FCPX would be able to import it by reference, creating little wrapper .mov files. However when I try to do that, I get a message that the folder containing the video cannot be imported. (It does offer to import the folder of stills that is part of the same file structure).
    If instead I choose Import from Camera, FCPX happily ingests the video files but from the size of the .mov files it creates it is clear that they are not references but copies of the camera originals. That makes complete sense for initial import of an actual SD card or USB-mounted hard drive, but I really don't want another 50 GB of files filling up my drive.
    If necessary I will use that process then delete the 50 GB of originals (I do have another copy on a second drive). But I am hoping that there may be a way to create reference wrappers around the files I already have on my drive so that I can work with them where they are.
    I am interested to know why FCPX behaves as it does, if anyone knows. For example, are audio and video multiplexed differently in the camera archive than in the .mov files that FCPX creates?

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    Camera is HDR-PJ760, which has proved to be absolutely amazing for handheld shots in difficult conditions. Many of the shots in this project were taken from a boat on the ocean, where a tripod would not have helped. All using the highest available quality settings at 60P. You can't get back quality thrown away in the camera. (Yes I know that the high compression in AVCHD is in fact throwing away a lot, but there is always some tradeoff to get a reasonably compact handheld camera.)
    I am guessing that the camera files are muxed, and that is why they cannot be used directly. If that's the case, I will just have to put up with the conversion step.

    it would be better to direct that question to Gary Loftis, since my MacBook Pro doesn’t have a Thunderbolt port.

  • Has anyone else found that Sony XAVC 4K files are flagged as camera files in Import?

    Has anyone else found that Sony XAVC 4K files are flagged as camera files in Import? 
    It sems that because they are being seen as a camera it is not possible to leave them in place on import?
    I have already backed up the camera files onto Thunderbolt drives and therefore I don't want them to be moved again!!
    Can I force FCPX to see the Ext HDD as a volume not a Camera?
    Thank you
    Jules

    Hi Tom
    Thank you for your reply,
    Surely all files originated from a camera? If I back them up to an external drive and clone them onto another drive for editing with FCPX, I don't expect them to be seen as camera files which FCPX then copies again just so that I can edit them. I just want to leave them in place, but FCPX doesn't give me that option.
    It seems that FCPX has failed at the first hurdle. It is forcing me to have to buy extra storage just so that FCPX can copy them on import. Surely, if FCPX can handle them natively then why does it have to move them?

  • Does FCP7 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?

    Does the new FCP 7.0 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?
    Does it need any conversion? If yes, how is the conversion time, and does the conversion degrades image quality?
    Thanks in advance.
    Desmond

    Which sony camera? there are a lot.
    Yes, it needs to convert. AVCHD isn't a format that most editing systems deal with natively. You will be converting it to ProRes. The conversion time is dependent on too many factors to give a precise number. Based on computer used, processors, RAM, how much footage, where it will be stored...all of that. The conversion doesn't degrade the image.
    Here...I have a workflow tutorial for this: Tapeless Workflow for FCP 7 Tutorial

  • Help!! can't import a movie from my sony camera

    i connected the camera with a firewire cable, imovie recognize the camera and when i do "import" it's become pixels with noisy sound on the screen. i can't find out where is the problem. the cable? the camera? the software? or the computer.
    Please help

    Hi
    a. What Camera - SONY DVR TRS PC 1234 ?
    b. Does Your Camera playback OK on the Camera LCD-screen or on analog out to TV ?
    c. Big squares on my Camera most often indicates that I need to run a Cleaning Tape
    in it. Recording most often harmed and of no use - never figured out if any of it could be saved.
    (Cameras SOMY TRV 900E and PC-330 both miniDV tape ones)
    else read
    *NO CAMERA or A/D-box*
    Cable
    • Sure that You use the FireWire - USB will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
    FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
    • Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
    Camera
    • Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
    • Toogle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
    • Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
    Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
    Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
    This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
    (Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
    everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
    Connections
    • Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
    Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
    the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
    Mac
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
    (Other hard disks don't count)
    I go for a minmum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
    after material is imported and edited.
    SoftWare
    • Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
    • Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
    • FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
    Using WHAT versions ? .
    • Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
    • QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
    • iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
    • iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
    *Other ways to import Your miniDV tape*
    • Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
    but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
    • If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
    over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
    (HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
    (Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)

    Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935

    in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
    camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
    camera not on battery, but power-line?
    did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?

    If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
    ----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !

    Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After uninstalling Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
    I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
