Sony nex-5n camera and macbook

I want to buy the new Sony NEX-5N camera but have heard I would not be able to upload my video onto my macbook. If this is true is there another way to do it, with maybe some other software?

Hi jdotlopez,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
From what you've described and from the troubleshooting that you did, I would agree with bitsnpieces that the camera may need service.
You can set up repair for your NEX5N camera at http://www.precisioncamera.com/.

  • Problem with Sony NEX-5 camera raw images in Aperture 3.

    Aperture 3 cannot says the RAW files from my Sony Alpha NEX-5 camera are an "unsupported image format". Aperture 3 is a full new copy (not an upgrade) purchased 10 days. My mac is an iMac 3.08 GHz Intel 2 Core, running 10.5.8, and with 4GB of 800 MHz RAM. All software upgrades have been performed.
    Aperture 3 says RAW files from my camera are supported. I downloaded directly from the camera by USP in the correct USP setting in the camera , i.e. 'mass storage mode'. Preview can see the .arw files but iPhoto and AP3 cannot. I've read that a possible fix is to down load via a Firewire 800 card reader. I'd rather avoid that as they cost about AU$170 - which is quite an impost when AP3 just cost me AU$249.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards,

    Thank you e2photo.
    Yesterday I found a similar post about the same issue with a new Canon camera. They fixed the problem by copying the files from the camera to a folder on the computer. Then they loaded the files into AP3 from the folder. Great news; it worked!!
    Thank you for your thoughts on iMovie as I had not tried to download movie content yet. You prompted me to do a little trial. No problem. iMovie 08 read the ACVHD movie and it looks great.
    Kind regards,

  • Why NO NAME message for connected Sony NEX-7 camera?

    All the cameras I have previously owned (Nikon and Canon) are named as connected device by iPhoto '11. But my new Sony Alpha NEX-7 is consistently designated as NO NAME device. Why? I am able to download photos. The SD cards I use have been formatted on the Sony camera. This problem is more an annoyance than a serious malfunction, but it is getting on my nerves.
    PS: photos exported to Flickr from iPhoto are correctly identified as taken with a Sony NEX-7.

    If your camera does not place a name on the card after reformatting, you can add the name using the Finder. Select the "No Name" card in the Finder (on your Desktop, the  "Computer" window, or the sidebar in the "Devices" section, whereever you show your mounted devices) and use
    "File > Get Info ⌘ I"
    to show info panel. Change the name of the card in the "Name and Extension" brick of the Info panel. Now you should be able to see the camera name when importing

  • I'm trying to upload videos from my Sony HDR-CX550 camera and the files that contain the video (.cpi or .mts) are all grayed out on iMovie. I've been able to upload footage before onto Apple computers but now it doesn't seem to be working. Suggestions?

    I've tried many different options including calling Apple Customer Support and talking to them for over an hour troubleshooting the issue. They couldn't do anything. I also called Sony who failed as well. Somebody please help me out. Thanks!

    Hello whatif95,
    Sorry to hear that you are having trouble importing video from your Sony HDR-CX550.  I found an article that provides some information specific to your camera and iMovie '09:
    iMovie: Importing both HD and SD content with Sony HDR series cameras
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1793
    For versions previous to iMovie ’11 v9.0.1, including iMovie ’08, ’09, and ’11 (v9.0 only):
    To import the AVCHD content from the camera when MPEG-2 content has also been recorded, you must first import and erase the MPEG-2 content from the camera. You should then be able to import the AVCHD content.
    I hope this helps!
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • Sony Hard Disk Camera and FCP

    Just got a Sony Hard Disk camera. It appears to be formatting the movie files in mpeg2. FCP will not allow me to import the files into the browser. Quick Time also gives me an error saying that the files are not recognizable. Any suggestions?

    Sue:
    If your camera just save video as MPEG2, you cannot use those files directly into FCP. You can use i.e. MPEG Streamclip to convert them to i.e. DV NTSC and import those files into FCP.
    You didn't mention your camera model but probably it has only USB connection.
    You must think about changing it for a camera with Firewire communication (as DV tape cameras) to get your footage directly into FCP without re-encoding.
    Hope it helps !

  • I need to get away from iphoto.   I use pixelmator for editing almost exclusively.  I have a Sony disc hx200v camera and a Kodak.   I will need to know if my cameras (on mac) will be seamlessly supported and how to get all my existing photos safely to lig

    I have several questions.   iPhoto does not meet my needs.    I would use lightroom mainly for organization and downloading photos from my camera cards.   My cameras are Sony disc-hx200v and a little Kodak  I will need to know if they are fine with light room.  Also I use pixelmator for photo editing and likely will use iskysoft dvd maker for mac to create my dvds once edited.      I am desperate to find a way to make my work flow work.   i.e.   I need to get photos somewhere on my mac,  in this case it would be lightroom then I need to edit them in lightroom and pixelmator,  then be able to get that  album/slideshow/folder whatever you call it Into the dvd maker to voiceover and finish the project.      It looks like aperture would have been more to my taste but they are
    also taking that away.   Yeah!  Go Apple.   About all I will have left of use is an operating system and mail.     Will appreciate any help.  I am 73 and doing dvd's for Amazon so I really can't afford any more programs that are snatched away and learning curves that change every 6 months. 

    Are you shooting in raw or jpeg?
    I’m not sure there is raw support for your Sony model and you don’t say which Kodak you have. But for jpegs Lightroom will normally work.
    For your existing photos it would usually be necessary to export versions to the desktop or create new folders in Finder. Those duplicates will contain the editing adjustments you have already made and can be imported into Lightroom using “Add” in the import dialog.
    I would suggest you download Lightroom and use it free for 30 days. You can then test it to ensure it meets your needs. You can download from this link:

  • Sony Cyber-Shot Camera and videos

    Hello,
    Has anyne figured out how to get videos from Iphoto to Imovie08? I am using a Sony Cybershot camera. Videos appear in Iphoto, but I cant get them to go into Imovie. Annoying... Please help
    Thanks

    Do you reccommend one over another?
    I use MPEG Streamclip on a daily basis to augment QT Pro capabilities. It has a full range of settings and features not found in the other applications mentioned -- including the ability to "fix" timecode breaks which are a frequent source of MPEG problems. While it has all of these advanced settings available for the experienced user, it also has a number of "presets" programmed in. For instance, if you source files are MPEG-1 at 640 x 480, you can use the "Export to MPEG-4 > iTunes" button to open a window which will allow your to select the "iPod" compatible H.264/AAC preset which will produce a file compatible with iMovie '08.
    Also are there any downsides to using one of these?
    For me the only downside is MPEG Streamclips inability to work in layers and off-sets as in QT Pro. You may be somewhat intimidated by the all the options available. (However, I feel it is an application whose use will grow in direct proportion to your understanding of how to use it.)

  • MPEG video from a Sony Hard Drive Camera and PPCS3

    I asked the questions before buying from ADOBE. The answers were yes that the video would import and that the program would do all editing for HD video from all HD cameras.
    Well anyone that has tried this knows it is a very false statement from ADOBE.
    Any way where do I go to get a codex or a filter to be able to import MPEG video into PP cs3. I know I can put it into my Premiere Elements 3 and output a AVI file but I would like to cut down the steps and time have a class of 50 that will always cause that to be a problem.
    Also how do I import AVCHD into ADOBE until they get moving and produce a patch for the program?

    Elecard promised beta version of AVCHD Plugin for Adobe Premiere to the end of the next week.
    They told me, that it will come in one package with Converter Studio AVCHD Edition.

  • Photos imported from Sony NEX-3N disappear from iPhoto

    I recently imported a series of photos from several different sources (pentax camera, iPhone, USB key and a Sony NEX-3N camera) and all the photos appeared to be imported correctly. I was able to edit the photos and put them in various events in the library manager.
    Now, a few hours later, all the photos from the Sony camera have disappeared from the library manager but none of the other photos. They were briefly visible in the photo stream but are disappearing in front of me! When I click on one in the photo stream, it tells me that it has already been imported. Then when I try to display it in the album, it's not there. I've tried using the research function, sorting by date and even the intelligent album function (to find all photos from the Sony NEX-3N) with no success.
    When I manage to grab a sony photo from the photo stream before it disappears, and copy it into an album, the information about the source disappears and appears empty. But the photo remains (unfortunately only about 10 out of 200!!)
    When I view the event in the library where they should be, the other photos seem to move around on their own, as if the sony photos are there and then disappearing but I can't actually see the missing photos. I've also tried showing hidden photos and looking in the finder library files, to no success.
    Help??

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

  • Adobe PSE13 and Sony NEX-6

    Hello everybody,
    my question refers to the NEX-6 with the 16-50mm power zoom (SEL16-50)
    Does someone know if it's possible to have the neccessary distortion corrections applied automatically when opening an ARW-file with Adobe PhotoShop Elements 13 with the Camera-RAW plug in ACR 8.7.1?
    Although the NEX-6 is correctly recognized (as indicated in the frame) the opened ARW picture still exhibits the partly strong distortion. It can of course be corrected using the appropriate "filter", but this correction has to be executed for every single picture because the distortion depends on the focal length. OTOH, the distortion correction for my Leica D-Lux (109) is executed beautifully when opening an RWL-file with Adobe PSE13.
    Every suggestion appreciated.

  • How do I get iPhoto to recognize my Sony nex 5R

    When I connect my Sony Nex 5R to my macbook, and launch iPhoto, iPhoto doesn't recognize camera automatically. What am I doing wrong?

    Are you shooting RAW?
    I do not see your camera on the list of supported cameras - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US - if it is not supported then shoot JPEG until support is released or use the Sony supplied software to download and convert the images and import the converted images until Apple releases support

  • Aperture 3 problem with Sony NEX-5n raw files

    Hi all,
    I have a Sony Alpha NEX-5n camera and my brother advised to take the pictures in raw format in order to keep all the information the sensors gathered when making the picture. The problem I have is that the software Sony provides with the camera does not allow me to convert the raw files into other formats. I downloaded Aperture trial because my camera was listed in Apple webpage as one of the models that can use raw files with Aperture. My problem is that every time I try to import the raw files, Aperture tell me that it doesn't support the format, and I cannot open the photos in raw and therefore I cannot work with them. I can work with the JPEG, but that is not what I want.
    I wanted to buy Aperture, but there is no point for me to do that if I cannot work with the raw files. Maybe it is the trial version, but then Apple would be posting the wrong information in the webpage and therefore should remove my camera from the list (it doesn't say anything about apgrades or updates).
    Does anyone else have the same problem? Can anyone confirm that once I buy it, Aperture works with the raw files even if I have to update it?
    Thank you very much. I am a Apple fan, but if it doesn't work, I will buy Lightroom or Corel even if they are more expensive.
    Savarena

    Hello Savarena,
    Try to install the RAW compatibility update: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.9
    - if is possible to do that with the Trial Version. This update supports your camera.

  • Sony nex 6 support?

    hello, i have a sony nex 6 camera. i would like to know if the latest photoshop of lightroom supports this camera and its RAW file - ARW?
    If not, what do you recommend i do? i want to avoid having to compress the images, if that would reduce quality.
    Thankyou for your help.

  • Sony NEX-3 Raw Support

    How is it possible that Aperture 3 does not support the raw format of the Sony NEX-3 camera? It's one of the hottest DSLR available right now do to it's compact size and has been on the market for nearly 6 months. No RAW support?
    I'd rather take my camera back than have to switch to lightroom which added support 3 months ago…
    Any suggestions? Anyone else have this camera? What can I do? I need a temporary work around, I MUST shoot in raw.

    You could batch convert the files with Adobe Camera Raw to DNG, or maybe the software provided will convert them DNG for you. http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/
    I currently have a bunch of files that I converted to DNG from NEF when I was using Lightroom, and Aperture 3 reads them just fine.
    I know its a extra step, but until apple release a update to their RAW engine its a solution.
