  • Unable to capture HDV with Sony HDR-FX1 in FCE 4

    Hello all,
    Been using an HDR-FX1 for a while, shooting mostly DV, and today I began experimenting with HDV. I shot 8 minutes of footage with the camera in HDV mode.
    When I setup FCE 4 for Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, the capture window doesn't recognize the camera. However, if I set the FX1 to down convert to DV via firewire, FCE recognizes the camera and I'm able to capture.
    How do I (or can I) capture HDV into FCE 4 with the FX1? Is there something (a setting perhaps) that I'm missing? Do I need to jump to FC Pro for this?
    My system: 1.6 GHz PowerPC G5 (tower), 2 GB RAM, Sony FX1, FCE 4.0, QT 7.3.1
    Thanks in advance,
    tg

    I had a similar issue with iMovie08 import using HDR-HC1... You may want to try this to see if it helps:
    1> Close the import app (FCE, in your case)
    2> Unplug the FW cable from the camcorder (Most important step)
    3> Go into the Sony menu and re-select the HDV settings (explicit HDV, not Auto + Conv off) in the camcorder
    4> Re-connect the FW cable, and restart FCE
    I use these steps successfully while switching between HDV and DV imports from my camcorder using iMovie 08. Hopefully, this resolves your problem with FCE. Later this weekend, I plan to experiment (for the first time) with FCE HDV import to try and see the export quality difference between FCE and iM08 (which apparently downconverts everything to 540 lines!).

  • Can't capture HDV from Sony z1 on FCP 7

    Hi,
    I have set 'easy setup' to HDV (I have also tried HDV Fire wire basic) I've followed tutorial on all the set ups to capture.  But when I go to capture, FCP can control the play buttons and I can see the time code on screen but there is no picture or sound coming through to capture and is says 'Capture was aborted due to no incoming data from device'.
    I have checked everything.
    I followed all the suggestions in an older discussion in this forum -
    Unable to capture HDV footage with FCP 5.1
    This was the last post in that discussion: 
    "Re: Unable to capture HDV footage with FCP 5.1
    May 23, 2010 4:37 PM (in response to MrMajesticMole)
      I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who was having the same problem as you. Although you say the camera playback is set properly, please recheck this. go into your camera's playback menu>menu>standard set>VCR HDV/DV. Unplug your firewire from the camera. Make sure camera is set to HDV NOT auto. replace firewire cable. Now open FCP. Go in Audio/video settings>A/V devices (farthest tab on right). In box for playback edit to tape different from video output (make sure it's checked) mirrored (checked) Video playback 1080i50, Audio HDV. I hope that works now."
    I followed all these tips and nothing has changed.  This is the first time I am using HDV in FCP.  I have used the same Sony z1 camera to shoot and capture DV footage in my current FCP set up and I've had no problems.
    The only wierd thing is that under easy set up I selected HDV first with 'all rates' under frame rate.  When that didn't work I tried "HDV fire wire basic".  Then I tried to put the frame rate in a 50fps.  When nothing made any difference I put the frame rate back to all frame rates and while still on Format: HDV selected HDV 1080i50  and also have tried HDV 1080i50 with 'all frame rates' and everythime I go back, it's defaulted to  'HDV 720p50' in the 'use box and frame rate  50fps. 
    I would really appreciate help with this.

    Hi Russ,
    Thanks for getting back so quickly.
    I was feeling hopeful because I realised I had the fps rate set to 50 and when you said 25fps I thought that must be it.  Unfortunatly it hasn't worked at all.  It keeps saying there's no data incoming data from device, yet it acknowledges the timecode and I can control the camera from FCP.
    I double checked my settings and made sure the camera was on before launching FCP.  I am going to study the document you included to see if there is anything else I am doing that isn't working.  I am wondering if there are some audio settings mucking it up.
    If you have any other thoughts let me know.  I will let you know if I figure it out.
    Cheers,
    Carolyn

  • Capturing Problem with Sony TRV330

    Capturing problem with Sony digital8 trv330.
    I recently purchased the above camcorder from eBay for capturing old 8mm/Hi8 tapes for editing purpose. The camcorder set to A/V -> DV OUT connected with Firewire to my Power G4 and the Easy Setup was DV-NTSC. The playback on the capture window looks OK except there were no timecode in the Timecode Duration Field and the Current Timecode Field (both shown 00:00:00:00) during playback but there was timedoce in the camcorder viewfinder. When I click the Capture Now button, the capturing window show up with message “waiting for timecode ….”. I have to click “esc” to stop the capturing operation. I trash the Preferences and Ran the Disk Utility without success. I also tried the Easy Setup with DV-NTSC DV Converter as well as DV-NTSC 32Khz, nothing work.
    My set up is: Mac Power G4 version 10.5.5/ F.C.E. 4.0.1/ QT7.5.5/ Startup 160 GB-89 GB available/ Scratch 350GB-277GB available. Folks, I need help. Thanks everybody.

    Hi, I have a similar problem. I am trying to digitize my 8mm tapes (via firewire) using final cut express (4.0.1). Using easy setup I use DV-NTSC DV Converter and do capture now. I transfer the entire tape but notice the audio is out of synch with the video. This problem gets worse throughout the transfer process. When I use the esc to complete the transfer I get the error " The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape....." So after searching around it is recommended I change the audio sample rate to 32 kHz option. However, when I do this using easy setup and picking DV-NTSC 32kHz I cannot use capture now because I have no timecode and so the window comes up with the message "waiting for timecode". Since there is no timecode this option does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan

  • How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?

    How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
    I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
    This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
    This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
    1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
    2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
    3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
    4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
    Thanks!
    Horsepower0171.

    Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
    I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
    Thus my question is the same:
    -What software can do that?
    -Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
    -For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

  • Unable to capture HDV in FCP 6.0.1 from Sony HVR-Z1P

    Hi I'm attempting to capture HDV footage from a Sony Z1.
    I am trying to capture some HDV footage I shot with the Z1, but FCP simply refuses to recognize the Z1
    I'm certain I've got all the settings correct:
    - Camera is set to HDV firewire out
    - capture presets is set to HDV
    - device control preset is set to Sony HDV FireWire
    - sequence preset is set to HDV 1080i50 (I'm in Australia)
    - footage IS HDV 1080i50
    But I keep getting the "Unable to Initialize Capture Device and Device Control" popup. I've tried everything
    - rebooted the camera
    - restarted FCP
    - rebooted the system
    - changed the capture/device control settings in FCP and tried out a regular DV deck to make sure it wasn't the cable
    Nothing has worked.
    I'm on a MBPro I7. No Kona card or anything like that, just trying to capture through firewire.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Matt
    At present it will capture HDV in IMovie but not FCP 6.0.1

    Thanks Adrian, since posting the thread I've thought of that too but unfortunately to no avail. From other forums I've read this seems to be a central theme to the solution to my capture woes. I since have sorted the problem it was in Audio/Video Settings.
    In the end I set my Audio/Video Settings to:
    Sequence Preset to: Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50
    Capture Pre-HDV- Apple intermediate Codec
    Device Control Preset: Sony HDV 1080i50 Firewire
    And hey presto my I'm capturing HD without any problems. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

  • Capturing HDV 1080i50 with Sony HVR-Z1U

    Long winded question... hope someone can offer some insight.
    The answer to this may have been posted earlier, but sifting through the topics, I couldn't find any relating. If someone could be so kind to link me to any related topics, that would be helpful.
    I'm editing a project in Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 that is a mix of HDV and DV, but will be finishing the final product in HDV. I've edited the original project in regular DV, but am batch capturing in the HDV footage according my XML.
    But I can't seem to connect the camera.
    Easy Setup: HDV - 1080i50 gives me an error "Unable to locate the following external devices: HDV (1440 x 1080) 2 fps)"
    Going into Audio/Visual Settings and setting Capture settings to HDV and Device control preset to HDV Firewire gives me an error "Unable to initialize capture device and device control" (or for any device control preset with the HDV Capture setting for that matter)
    Any device control preset with "HDV - Apple intermediate codec" will give me an error with "Unable to initialize HDV deck. Please make sure a deck is connected and try again".
    Camera: In/Out VCR mode is set to Auto, i.Link Converter is set to "Off", A/V->DV Out is set to on.
    Camera is on and plugged in. I've tried plugging the firewire into different ports and have also tried various firewire cables. Sometimes the device is controllable, but all it does is play the tape, never gets around to capturing anything.
    .... sigh....
    Thanks in advance,

    AIC is not going to work for recapture, AIC doesn't use the original timecode off the master tape. Make sure you setup HDV 50i and before connecting the firewire cables go into the camera vtr mode then menu, then rec in out and set the ilink convert to off for HDV. the Camera will show HDV lights. Then connect to the computer and open log and capture.
    Good Luck

  • Can't capture HDV with Canon Legria hv40

    Hi,
    I'm having this very irritating problem - when I try to capture HDV(25) footage with Premiere Pro CS6 the program:
    recognizes the camera
    has control over camera navigation
    doesn't show preview in the capture window
    says it's capturing, but only captures audio from the camera (in mp3)
    I'm using FireWire and all the Premiere/camera settings are set to HDV.
    I can't figure out what the problem might be here.
    Any help greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    I originally had this problem with a  #trial version of CS5.5 and it did exactly what you describe, (incidentally Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 11 @ $75 USD, captures perfectly) ,but, on going to full version and upgrade to CS5.5.2 it has been working perfectly for the last 18 months. (It won't help you but, HDV Canon Capture in Premiere Pro 1.5.1. and that is 5+years old was/is very efficient)
    And later as well, just double check New Sequence > Presets > HDV 1080i 25 (50) or other .
    Click on Preset Descriptions it will show what it is doing.
    Good luck
    #Ps. This occurred in a downloaded trial version (Adobe may not have included the HDV/mpeg-2 codec or it may have been corrupted), but, there is no problem here on 2 x i7 64 bit computers running the program from disc.

  • Trouble capturing HDV with Firewire Basic easy set up

    I recently updated Final Cut and have since been unable to load HDV media
    via firewire using a Canon XH-A1. I am only gettng small fragments at a time
    and capture window reads (searching for media) most of the time during capture.
    Previously, I had no problem . Still able to load via Kona card with Betacam in standard def, etc.
    Any suggestions?

    ...capture window reads (searching for media)...
    A)Still this could remain a Canon camera's timecode implementation issue.
    B) Or caused by recent QT updates if you did.
    But...
    C) Just out of curiosity,
    do you have external devices like an external drive connected to your computer when your Canon is connected?
    If so, unplug everything from your FW bus but the camera's FW cable.
    Any improvements?

  • Trying to capture HDV with a Canon HV30    CS4

    I am new to this HD video.Im trying to capture to PPRO cs4 and not sure what settings to use.When I first start out I have my new project set to HDV after that it takes me to new sequence panel there I have selected the preset HDV 1080p30 (Im hoping this is correct) after this I go to the capture panel there I select where to put the video and I also select HDV.When I try to capture the video does not show on the PPRO preview screen but it does capture the video and run the camera from there. The camera is set to HDV output and while its capturing it shows a fire wire symbol on the camera screen and says something like HDV out
    Just like to know if Im doing everything correct.'
    Thanks for your time

    Had you read the manual or help file on capturing HDV, you would have seen that there is no preview during capture with HDV material. I suggest you read the manual from front to cover to get acquainted with this program and watch tutorials. It will make your editing experience much nicer.

  • FCP 6.0.6 will not recognize my new Sony HVR-Z7U camcorder

    I cannot capture any mini DV fotage from this camcorder (Sony HVR-Z7U) into FCP.
    Im using I link 1394 6pin from the camera to the computer.
    Wrong wiring? or settings in camcorder?

    Thanks Nick and all,
    Most of my videos are shot in HD 30p. That being said, Nicks Easy Set up instructions got my camera to work with FCP. Go figure. I guess now I'll just need to pay attention to my sequence settings.
    I thought since I shot in HD, setting the camcorder in DV NTSC mode would not run the camcorder in HD for FCP. That was my original thought, so I keeep trying all the HD capture presets. It's working, hope it is capturing in HD.

  • Unable to capture HDV footage with FCP 5.1

    I've captured HD footage onto my old computer (10.4.11) without any problem but now I'm trying on my new one and it doesn't want to know.
    First off there was a problem with the Firewire port ejecting my hard drives randomly so I took it to be repaired and they replaced the logic board and the port works fine.
    I've looked at all the posts I could find, I've trashed my preferences, reinstalled Final Cut Studio ( after uninstalling then updating the software). I've made sure the camera is set to HDV playback rather than auto and that the iLink HDV/DV conversion is off. I've tried all the easy setups and all the custom ones I could think of but still FCP (5.1.4) won't allow me to capture. On some settings I have had device control but no image, on others it said the camera isn't connected. The only way I've captured footage is by using the HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50 which works fine.
    The camera is a Sony HDR-HC7 connected directly to the iMac with a Firewire 800 / iLink cable or daisy chained through my external hard drive with a 400 / iLink cable (neither of which makes any difference) I can also capture SD footage from both the HDV and a Panasonic SD camera when in DV-PAL setup. The HDV camera also shows up as connected in the system profiler.
    This is driving me nuts so any help would be appreciated and if there's any other info I can help with to make this clearer let me know.

  • Unable to capture video with MSI StarForce 822 GeForce 3!

    I have a MSI StarForce 822 GeForce3 graphics card with 64 MB DDR SDRAM on it. I have VGA Out, as well as TV-out (AV), TV-out (S-video), and TV-in(?) (S-video).
    This brings me to two questions:
    First, I have NEVER been able to figure out how to use the TV-in (S-video) port. I have tried numerous programs designed to capture video, including the one that came with the graphics card, and none of them recognize the card's TV-in. Do you have any recommendations as to how to use this port to capture video?
    Second, in reading through the online manual for the graphics card on the company's website (under the name G3 Pro-VT64D MS-8822), I saw that the card supposedly has the capability of "High-quality HDTV/DVD playback" (8822 v2.0.pdf, page 8 ). However, in playing back DVD's through the card's s-video output onto my HDTV-ready monitor, I definately do not see HD quality videos. Could explain why this is the case?
    I have an assignment coming up where I must do some video-editing work, and thus I am posed with a situation where I need to capture video using this card (and I can't afford to buy something new for the moment).
    Thanks for your help.

    If you have the Video Capture Driver installed then the video capture program should see it. On MSI site version 1.16 of the driver is available for download.
    If you still have problems (e.g. too many frames lost) you can try using Virtual VCR (worked best in my case).

  • Unable to capture traffic with Ethanalyzer on N5K-5548
