Can't import live video from Sony PD 170.

Just got Final Cut Pro X. In a New Event I am able to import live video from the new MacBook Pro computer's built-in camera and pre-recorded video from my Sony PD-170 camera. However, when trying to import live video from the PD-170, the program only APPEARS to do so--the clips never show up once I close the import window. Any suggestions?

I think iMovie is corrupted. I would like to try to uninstall iLife 11 but when I put in the disc there is no uninstall option. I tried trashing iMovie from applications and reinstalled all of iLife (I believe wasted space on my HD) but the issue remains. (Maybe because I didn't delete the receipts?) iMovie can not see any devices or use iSight for capture...

  • IMovie can't import any video (from Sony cam or iPhone or iSight)

    iMovie worked yesterday with my camera (Sony HDR-XR200) just fine. Today imovie will see the camera and pull up the clip selection menu but no clips ever load. I tried to connect my iphone as well to see if it was the camera or the software and imovie also can not recognize my iphone (for importing video) or isight. Any ideas?
    I have tried
    -different cables
    -complete shut down on macbook and battery pull from camera, reconnect everything, same problem.
    -software update, restart.
    -deleting the preference file (something recommended in this forum)
    If I try to import video from isight, imovie stops responding and I have to force quit.
    Thanks for any help, I'm stuck.

    i have made a few test with Flash Lite 3.0 and Flash Media Server 3  and I have to say that it is pretty easy to stream FLV Video files and  Live Video from local web camera to mobile phone. Here are a quick  instructions how to do it in Windows (I will publish Linux version  later).
    Play FLV-video from Flash Media Server 3:
    Install Flash Media Server 3 (download developer version)
    There are a few sample FLV files in applications/vod/media folder, so you can use one of them for testing
    Create a new Flash Lite 3.0 file in Flash
    Add a new Video symbol to library
    Drag this Video symbol to Stage and give instance name to it: video
    Type following programming to timeline:
    // make a new video-object
    var video:Video;
    // make a new NetConnection-object
    var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    // check connection status from server
    nc.onStatus = function(info:Object):Void {
      status_txt.text=info.code;
      if (info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success") {
        startStreaming();
    // start streaming video to phone
    function startStreaming() {
      ns = new NetStream(nc);
      ns.setBufferTime(5);
      video.attachVideo(ns);
      // play sample.flv from server
      ns.play("sample",0);
    // show info to user
    status_txt.text = "Connecting server...";
    // connect FMS 3 video on demand service (default port 1935)
    nc.connect("rtmp://your.server.ip.here:1935/vod");
    Go to Publish Settings...
    Set Local playback security: Access network only
    Publish your SWF-file
    Send your SWF-file to your phone
    Test and you should see FLV-video playing in your phone
    Play live video from Flash Media Server 3:
    Install Flash Media Server 3 (download developer version)
    Install Flash Media Encoder 2 (Windows only)
    Start Flash Media Encoder 2
    You should see your live camera in Input screen
    Press Start-button to start sending live video to Flash Media Server 3
    Create a new Flash Lite 3.0 file in Flash
    Add Video symbol and programming as you did earlier
    Modify your programming:
    // in startStreaming()-function
    // Flash Media Encoder 2 publish stream name is "livestream"
    ns.play("livestream",-1,-1,true);
    // start connection to Flash Media Server 3
    // Flash Media Encoder 2 publishes Flash Media Server's default
    // live publishing point, so connect it
    nc.connect("rtmp://your.server.ip.here:1935/live");
    Publish, test and enjoy

  • Can you import movie videos from SD camera card

    Can you import movie videos (MP4) into an Ipad from an SD camera card on a Lightning cable ... or can you only do this from a laptop via Itunes? In other words, is Itunes the only way to get non-Itune videos to the Ipad? Hope I havent made this sound confusing.

    To import the videos must follow a very strict naming convention.
    All file names must have 8 characters for a name and be located in a folder named DCIM
    for example
    DCIM
    MOV_5789.mp4
    You can't watch the videos off the cart, they must be imported into the iPad. They'll go into the camera roll, when you tap on them it'll open the video app and you can watch from there.

  • I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

    I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1.  Does Sony offer a plug in?

    I shoot fishing footage of big catches.  Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i.  It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab.  Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames.  Thank you again for your reply. 

  • Can I import a video from Final Cut Pro

    I'm doing a :45 sec. video clip in Final Cut and Kinemac for a local church. They want pre-recorded backround music that fades out at the end. Can I import this video into GB for the music..
    Thanks.
    NN

    What do you mean by "this video"? The FCP file? No, but any rendered version: Show the video track in GB and pull the video over.
    The question is: Why would you want to do this? If it's just about fading out the music, as you write, FCP will happily do that for you.

  • CS4 Importing SD video from Sony NX5

    I can import it but it looks blurry and soft and needs to be rendered. The video comes from Sony NX5 tapeless camera.  It records SD in mpeg2 instead of DV. The softness seems to happen during this conversion, the original video looks sharp when viewing it in Windows Media Player.
    How can I import it without making it look soft?

  • Can you import the video from an AVCHD Disc into FCP7  for editing?

    Can the video from an AVCHD Disc be imported into FCP 7 for re-editing if you have a normal Superdrive burner?
    The reason I ask is because last night our film-making club gave a show of short videos to some guests.
    At the end it was decided to put them all on one DVD to send to the visitors as a memento.
    However, some of the films were on AVCHD discs and I queried whether they could be copied, even in standard definition.
    The "copier" said it was no problem as he had a PC and had done it before . . . . . cheeky devil!
    So can it be done . . . . . on a PC or a Mac . . . . with a standard burner?
    I have just tried but nothing in the BDMV folder can be imported.

    GOT IT!
    Copy the BDMV folder from the AVCHD disc to the desktop.
    Use HandBrake to convert the .m2ts files to H.264
    Then convert the H.264 files to an editable format.
    Rather convoluted process but it works.
    Anyone know a better method?

  • Importing a Video from Sony Handycam

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 / Premier Elements 8.0, and when I've been importing videos from my Sony Handycam (HDR-CX7), the Adobe software is downloading the entire video, but it seems to be putting an incorrect duration on the video. For example, the imported video is 5 minutes, but it shows up in Elements at 1.5 minutes.  If I start from the front, it will play the first 1.5 minutes. If I scroll to the end, and rewind back 30 seconds, it will play until the 1.5 minute total again. If I watch the video in Windows Media player, it will play the entire 5 minute video.  Anybody have a solve for this, or an explanation on why its happening?

    I'd suggest asking this in the Premiere Elements forum, which is here:

    There are a lot more video mavens there than here and you'll probably get more responses. Good luck!

    However, I can see the video with QuickTime.
    In FCP, I just see a red box with a yellow triangle at the center(warning). Can someone help me. The video are Full HD 1080/60i.
    I also try converting from MP4 to DV. Cannot import the .DV either.
    Can someone help me?

    Could it be the case that you have "proxy media" selected in the preferences (under Final Cut Pro -> Preferences, click on "Playback" and see which is selected, proxy or optimized), BUT you are not creating proxy media when importing?
    If that is the case, either
      - switch to "original/optimized media",
    or
      - create the proxy media (control-click the clip(s) in the event browser, choose "Transcode media" e check the box for "create proxy media").

  • Is the a mod to be able to import live video from a DSLR?

    I know DSLR's aren't meant to be used for recording live straight to pc, but I was wondering if anyone knew of some 3rd party software either for the camera or a mod for PrPro that would allow you to stream the footage and record it.  I'm trying to record our church services and all I have is a Canon t3i.  I've found software that let me record straight to pc but the framerate is inconsistent.  I'm running CS6 on a windows 7 machine.

    First issue is, you're not going to transfer "live" HD video via USB 2.0 connection. You can transfer files after the recording, but not usually during.
    Second, there are capture cards such as BlackMagic Intensity or Matrox MXO2 Mini that will accept an HDMI input and capture high-quality live video to the PC. However, many DSLR cameras, even though they have an HDMI output, will put out a non-standard signal. Meaning it is cropped, or perhaps has some viewfinder info overlays in the picture which can not be turned off in the menu, making the HDMI output unsuitable for recording. This has been a huge problem for DSLR film makers that want to use external recording devices like the Atomos Ninja 2. Some of the newer DSLRs can now output a proper, recordable signal, after much complaing from customers.
    Bottom line, money is always a factor, but a DSLR is the last camera I would ever try to use for long-form events. There has to be something you can borrow or buy cheap second-hand, meaning a camcorder. But even then, you need some kind of capture card to get the live video into the computer, unless using a DV or HDV camera and then you can use 1394 (Firewire) into computer. DSLRs are just not practical for a lot of video tasks, sorry.
