Cannot import Sony XDCAM HD 35mbps clips

Download the Sony XDCAM software for FCP HD. Can download only clips up to 25mbps but not their HD quality 35mbps.
What seems to be the problem - a No Codec text is displayed on the images.

Sony haven't publically released the new version of the XDCAM Transfer tool yet.
v1.0 is the current release, v1.1 is the one that enables 35mbps.

Cannot import sony xdcam hd mxf files into CS6

I have tried every thing, reinstalling, adobe tech, main concept.
Any ideas?

OK. Try skipping that. Put the disk into a Blu-ray drive and just use Windows Explorer to copy everything over.
We have the same camera and disc drive. You can't put the discs into a standard bluray drive as they have are in a cartridge. The disc reader he's using is the appropriate way to import that media.
I'm not sure what's going on for you but I'm unable to replicate your problem. Put XDCAM disc into drive, copy entire contents to a folder, then in media browser right click on that folder (not the subfolders) and click import. I get a bin named whatever the folder was called, with all my clips inside. I'm on CS6.0.2 on a mac.

Importing Sony XDCAM EX3 clips no audio? PPRO CS3

Hi,
I have been trying to import some XDCAM EX3 footage to CS3 3.2.
I have imported 2 of the BPAV folders and they are fine.
The other 3 BPAV- when I import the video is fine but no audio? I'm a bit worried? Where is the audio?
many thanks for any help.
scott

Hello,
I tried going in to the BPAV folder- opening the CLPR folder then trying to view one of the mpeg 4 quicktimes.
I get an error message - Error 2010- the movie contains some invalid data.
BUT these are on the files that imported fine into ppro cs3.
I don't know if the audio files are AC3.
I went to the clips in the timeline that worked and hit properties and it said they were LCPM16?
BUT again, some of the BPAV folders were fine.
This is my first time trying to import these files.
I thought it would work straight away!!

Cannot import Sony Camcorder latest HDR-TD20 3D digital camcorder videos onto iPhoto

hi, i just bought the latest Sony camcorder HDR-TD20. when connecting the camcorder to iMac/iPhoto, iPhoto can only recognize the photos i took in the camcorder, but didn't recognize or detect any of the videos I recorded on the camcorder. i believe they're in AVCHD files...
can any one let me know whether there's a new driver that needs to update iPhoto in order for iPhoto to recognize these video files?
iMovie however, seems to recognize the movies and is able to import there... but i realy would like to keep all photos and videos in one place - i.e., iPhoto

iPhoto doesn't work with AVCHD.
If you're shooting AVCHD then you are shooting to edit. So, shoot, process in iMovie, export as a .mov and import that to iPhoto.
If you're not shooting to edit then don't shoot AVCHD.

Cannot import Sony Raw photos - JPEG OK

I just purchased a Sony A7II at my Stanford Sony store. When I import from the SD card in Raw, it won't show the preview. It works OK with JPEG fine. I have downloaded the Adobe DNG Converter Camera RAW 8.7.1, which i includes the Sony A7II.
What should I do??

Premiere CC v7.2 "generic import error" Sony xdcam 422 50mb / PDW F800

I'm receiving a "generic import error" when attempting to import Sony XDCAM footage in to Premiere Pro CC v7.2.0 (PC). The footage is in the original file structure transferred from a Sony XDCAM disc. The format is 1920x1080p, 29.97, 50mbps mpeg-2 long GOP (CBR). Shot with a Sony PDW F800 camera. It opens and plays fine with the Sony XDCAM viewer. I've tried importing the entire folder structure from PP media browser with no success. Not getting any thumbnails or previews from the files. PP will import the proxy files (mxf/mp4) but not the mpeg-2 HD media. Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Wil, got this figured out quite painlessly considering the train wreck that it was to begin with. The material consisted of 4 mxf discs all with sequentially numbered duplicate filenames from disc to disc… cameramen love to torture editors. Simply renaming the clips using the OS would not work so here’s what I did. Starting with Bridge I identified the HD material apart from the 8 audio files and 1 proxy file per clip by performing a file search using the letter (V), only the HD video material has a (V) in the filename. Next I copied only the video files to a work folder as to not alter the original disc structure, I did this for each mxf disc. Next critical step was to turn off all metadata logging in Bridge except the filename metadata, then I used the batch renaming function with 3 criteria: 1-seed each filename with the disc number, 2- retain original clip name, and 3-rename extension to mpg. I did this for each disc. Next step was to batch encode using AME. I processed each disc using the same codec as the original source material, MXF/OP1a, Sony XDCAM 50mb with smart rendering codec enabled. My system ripped through this process at amazing speed, it retained the original source clip time code and the quality appears to be unaltered from the original. The reason for turning off the metadata logging in Bridge was to strip off the mxf reference, AME would not process the files by simply renaming them using the OS. Total time to clean-up train wreck; 40 minutes.
BTW: I did not need the associated audio from these clips otherwise there would have been an extra step involved using premiere’s nesting feature as you had mentioned.
Happy Holidays.

Sony XDCAM PDW 1500

Hi
How do I connect my macbook pro laptop, fully updated to the XDCAM PDW 1500 vtr that has dvcam footage shot in PAL SD 25 fps. I have tried all the settings!
Is there any plugins or software I should download?
Thanks
Message was edited by: alaska001

you have a few choices:
a) connect the deck via firewire and set the deck's iLINK setting to AV/C mode and set the remote interface to iLINK .. then log and capture from the deck as if it were a DV tape based device
b) you need to download and install Sony's free XDCAM Transfer app to log and transfer the source clips at faster than real time ... again, connect the deck via firewire, but for this method set the deck's iLINK setting to FAM mode. now launch the app from FCP using File > Import > Sony XDCAM...
https://serviceplus.us.sony.biz/sony-software.aspx?model=pdzkp1
c) you can buy and use Flip4Mac's XDCAM component which allows tapeless capture via Ethernet ... connect the deck to your Mac's network and and launch the app from FCP using File > Import > Sony XDCAM (Ethernet) ...
http://www.flip4mac.com/pro_xdcam.htm
my recommendation would be option b) as this is easily the fastest and most versatile method

Can't import from Sony XDCAM memory card to FCP 6

I can't import from Sony XDCAM memory card to FCP 6.01 HD. Am using Macbook Pro, 2 gig of RAM. This is my first time NOT using tape. I can copy the files off the memory card onto an external drive (to free up the card for pro crew's next day's shoot), but can't import either to FCP. Do I need to convert the files in some way before FCP can read them? Need to fix this problem fast as the crew are off to Nepal for 2 week shoot.

Laura,
First, I'm assuming that you're referring to the XDCAM EX. You'll need to install the FCP 6.0.2 upgrade, which contains the XDCAM EX codecs.
Second, You'll need to install the PDZK-P1 Transfer Application, and use that to import your EX clips into FCP. I just noticed that there is a new version available, 2.5.1 which is labeled specifically for Tiger/Leopard. I haven't tested this version yet, and will report back on any stability issues. We're currently running version 2.1.1, without many issues.

Cannot import 1 clip into iMovie

I'm a newbie so I'll try to give as much detail as possible on my current problem and hope some more experienced users can offer some suggestions.
This has been a recurring problem since using iMovie '09. I'm using '09 on an iMac with OS-X. When I try to import video clips from my card reader, iMovie will import SOME but not others. These were all taken at the same time from the same event (a concert) so the formatting didn't change. The one clip I'm really struggling with right now is the one I need the most - it's quite big - about 60 minutes of video but I have a new external 3 TB hard drive so space isn't an issue.
No matter how many times I try, I get a "Cannot import 1 clip" message when trying to add this one to iMovie. The thing is - that message occurs at different points. At first, I would get it within 5 minutes of importing. Sometimes, I get it halfway through and once, I almost got to the end of importing the whole 60 minutes before that message popped up.
I've had this problem in the past with other video clips but after rebooting and trying again (sometimes several times) - eventually it DOES import. I can play this problem clip within iMovie from the reader, play it in the camcorder and on the TV and there's no problem with it. Why won't iMovie import THIS clip but will import other clips around it? (Other clips are quite large too!)
Before I invest in upgrading to iLife '11 - I want to feel comfortable that iMovie isn't going to keep giving me these same headaches. As I said before, this problem has occurred in the past with other events. After trying and trying many times, I've finally gotten those clips imported. But with this one, I don't seem to be making any headway.
Any advice would be appreciated. And if you need more info, please let me know and I'll do my best.
Thank you!

I have a Sony DCR-DVD103 and when I go to File>Import Movies I do see my Finalized DVD, but all the files including the Import button are grayed out. How can I import the Finalized movie into iMovie?
The "Import Movies..." option is for importing "edit" compatible files from a hard drive into iMovie '08. If the source files are not already "edit" compatible, iMovie '08 will not let you import them. Instead, try the ""Import from Camera..." option. If iMovie '08 properly recognizes you DVD camcorder, it will import your MPEG2/AAC content by converting all MPEG-2 "P" and "B" frames to "I" frames (which are editable), convert the AC3 audio to AIFF, and place both in an MOV file container with start and/or end time offsets to minimize drift between audio and video. The resulting file can then be edited in iMovie '08.
If the camcorder is not recognized by iMovie '08, then you will probably have to import the MPEG2/AC3 files to you hard drive and manually convert them to an edit compatible compression format manually using an MPEG-based, third-party conversion application like iSquint (free), MPEG Streamclip (free but requires $20 QT MPEG-2 Playback component), FFmpegX, (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), MPEG2 Works (pay-ware), or similar application.

Importing a lot of video clips from a Sony camera to FCE; during the Log and Transfer process, is there a way to add multiple clips to the browser instead of one at a time?

Importing a lot of video clips from a Sony camera to FCE; during the Log and Transfer process, is there a way to add multiple clips to the browser instead of one at a time?

Select one and click cmd-A which selects them all.
Then click the import button if it hasn't started already.

Sony XDCAM import plugin for FCPX - Not working

Has anyone used this new plugin by Sony to import Sony EX3 footage.
I havent been able to import files. When using the import from camera tool, it doesnt see my cards or BPAV folders.
I currently use XDCAM Transfer which works great, but I am having playback problems with these imports.
This didnt use to happen with the previous 10.0.3 version.
Keen to know if anyone else is having these issues.

Cannot import clips into iMovie 08

I have a few clips that were spliced together with QTPro and now I cannot import them into iMovie08. I have checked the movies themselves and I do not see any specific info that would cause a problem.
I cannot drag and drop the clips into iMovie nor can I use the import function, as the .mov files are greyed out.
This didn't happen before I upgraded to QT Pro.

AAC, MPEG-4
For the moment will assume you mean QT MPEG-4 here and not something like Microsoft's non-standard variation. (If not QT then please advise.) In the case that it is QT MPEG-4, did any of the source files contain extraneous tracks like an iPhoto slideshow with its "Tween" track. Such extraneous tracks are not understood by iMovie '08 and it will reject their import. If so, then use QT Pro to delete the extraneous track(s)
