Compatible camera list

I am looking to buy a camera to use on some personal projects and build a demo reel. I've tried to locate a list of cameras compatible with FCP 5.0.4 but have so far been unable to do so.
Can someone give me the url for this? Or let me know if these cameras are compatible: Sony HDR-HC7; Canon HV20; and JVC GZHD1US. I am going consumer due to cost, the jvc has a lot of features I like but records to a hard drive and I am old school enough to still want tape, but if it works best with my software, I'll try it.
Thanks for any and all help,
Doug

All of the cameras that you listed, the Sony HC7, the Canon HV20, and the JVC GZHD1US (JVC GR HD1US you meant?) are all HDV cameras and should not be a problem when using it with FCP. When working with Final Cut Pro, you are going to want to avoid the Hard Drive cameras using the AVC Codec, because you will not be able to edit that in Final Cut.
I personally have a Canon HV20 and a JVC HD-100 and they both work with Final Cut Pro. The only time that you will have fun with either of my cameras is when shooting in 24p mode. With the HV20, the camera actually records the 24p timeline on a 60i tape timeline and thus cinema tools is needed to do the advanced pulldown. I among others posted specific instructions on how to do this with the Canon HV20. It is a bit of work, however, the biproduct is awesome. The JVC HD100 is a different story since they use their own ProHD codec.
Hope that this helps.

  • Is there a comprehensive list of compatible cameras to connect via firewire?

    is there a comprehensive and up-to-date list of compatible cameras to connect via firewire that will work with FMLE?
    I saw this -http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaencoder/FME_DeviceMatrix.pdf
    but it's out of date and limited in scope... any more information?
    thanks

    I'm in the process of trying to get this information for a client. Even with a paid AppleCare agreement, the only answer I'm getting is "look in the forums" and "look on the developer site" (although I have to give credit to the Tier-1 rep who's trying to help me.) The impression I'm getting is that they consider an exact list of header names to be proprietary information for some reason, and are going to great pains to try not to give out the information, but also to not create ill will amongst their customers by explicitly saying "that's proprietary".

  • I have a Sony DCR -SR32 which does not appear in the list of compatible cameras for imovie '11. Does anyone know if there is way to import files from this camera ?

    I have a Sony DCR-SR32 HDD video camera which does not appear in the list of compatible cameras for imovie '11. Does anyone know if there is way of importing video from this camera to imovie ?
    Thanks

    Greetings Pheona,
    That appears to be a hard drive based camecorder.  Usually these mount on the desktop of your computer as a little white hard drive icon.  If you go inside you should be able to find the movie files the camera is saving.  See what format they are (the last 3 letters at the end of the file name is a good place to start).
    You can drag the movie files from the camera hard drive to the computer to copy them.  Then convert them with a video file conversion program to a format iMovie can understand.
    Try converting one of the files using a video file conversion program like Video Monkey: http://videomonkey.org/downloads/
    In the "Convert to" drop down menu choose "DV" (Preferred), "Quicktime", or "MP4".  Then import the resulting file into iMovie and see if that works any better.
    If that program can't convert the files you can try another file conversion program:

  • What Raw camera files are supported by Aperture Ver 3.6.  I have tried to file a list of compatible camera models, but as yet can't find one.

    What Raw camera files are supported by Aperture Ver 3.6.  I have tried to file a list of compatible camera models, but as yet can't find one.  My OS is OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  I have recently bought a Canon 7D MkII and have found Adobe Lightroom does not as yet support the 7D MkII.  So I though Aperture may support the 7D MkII because Yosemite 10.10.1 now does.

    Hi Folk,
    I just found the answer to my question.  Yes it is supported with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  See the link below and the ***** Note at the bottom of the list.

  • Need help finding compatible camera

    have not been able to locate the model #s of cameras listed as compatible with final cut studio found on this website,
    when contacting the vendors ie:sony have been told that none of the sony products are compatible,
    i just want a camera that will work with my new mac
    any suggestions?

    I agree with X, we need to know what budget, what is the proposed purpose - home video, serious amateur, indie movie, aiming to start in business etc etc.
    What's you're level of expertise?
    Taking a wild guess, I'd say simplest workflow to get reasonable results on a low budget for non commercial hobbyist stuff - get a minidv standard def camera such as the inexpensive Sony HC-DCR96 (yes it will work with iMovie/Final cut) or the more advanced Panasonic GS500, but give more detail for a more tailored reply.

  • Compatible Cameras Nikon d-200

    How can I find out what cameras are compatible with iPhoto 5? I'm getting a Nikon d-200 (maybe) and I'm just wondering if I will be able to easily work with the photos, files etc.
    For example, if I shoot in RAW, will I be able to work with them using iPhoto 5?
    Also, I seem to remember a list of compatible cameras that is accessible somehow through iPhoto.

  • Compatible Cameras?  Canon Digital IXUS V3

    On the iLife 06 list of compatible cameras, I found Canon Digital IXUS V2 but not V3. I currently have iLife 04 and a Canon IXUS V3. If I upgrade to iLife 06, can I no longer use the IXUS V3? Or if I can, how would I do that? Thanks for all help.

    Chuck001,
    If your camera is not located in the supported list,then it may likely not import directly into iphoto.
    Another viable option is to use your app named image capture and download to your desktop and then drop into iPhoto.
    Good luck,

  • Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with  PSE 12 when purchased recognize  the cameras listed in the question or do I need to

    Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with  PSE 12 when purchased recognize  the cameras listed in the question or do I need to download  the camera Raw Version 8.3 ?

    While the G9 RAW files can be read by Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom, these file are unsupported at this time. Here is a link to Adobe's latest list of cameras that are supported and this list came out yesterday http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    I have not done a comparison between Lightroom and Canon's software but others have and say that Canon's software is clearly better. I am sure when Adobe updates their software again to include the G9 it will be a very good RAW converter as it is will most other cameras.

  • Photoshop CS5 camera list

    How do I get the "latest" list of supported dslr cameras for Photoshop CS5 ?

    You need to determine when Adobe released support for your new camera in Photoshop.  To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If, per the above pages, your version of Photoshop CAN support your camera, then you'll want to download the LATEST applicable Camera Raw update for that version of Photoshop.  Usually you can do that by simply running Help - Updates from within Photoshop.
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera with the latest applicable Camera Raw update, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, and you will be able to open the converted DNG files with your version of Photoshop, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.  Note the availability of the low cost Creative Cloud Photography bundle:

  • Qualified camera list for FCE

    I am in the market to buy a camera. I was looking at the Sony HVR Z5U, but found out that you can't use FCE to edit the footage. Is there a list that names cameras that are compatible?

    The information on that thread is grossly misleading.
    The specification on this page clearly states that this camera records on tape
    http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=1055 1&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665551072
    If the camera records on tape using HDV it can be captured in FCE. The thread is discussing a separate recording method. You can add accessories that allow recording on memory cards. That will not work with FCE. The camera itself as delivered with tape recording will work with FCE.

  • Compatible cameras for FINAL CUT PRO 5.x available in latin america?

    Hi! So I have a big problem, none of the camera models mentioned in the compatibility area of the final cut webpage are available where I live. Is it true that no other cameras are compatible? There's an entire series of cameras SONY DCR-HC42, 46, 52 etc. that are for sale here and not mentioned there. Also true of old JVC and Panasonic models. Please help me figure this out, I have to buy a camera to capture some video I have on MINIDV onto the final cut I have and have to know I'm not buying a camera that won't work.
    thanks
    rdl

    Thanks. That's what I thought. Plus, models available in latin america are apparently not the same as those available in the US and Europe, and my suspicion is they haven't been tested.

  • 1.1 Camera List???

    Anyone know what new cameras 1.1 is supposed to support? I have an olympus e500 and I've been dying to use aperture, but alas it doesn't support my camera and I can't seem to find anywhere that lists what new ones it will support.

    If You have Aperture installed You can try it with the new 10.4.6 OS. It supports the Nikon D200 now.

  • Looking for compatible camera

    i also am in the market for a new camcorder that is compatible with my imac OS X system and FCE. i like the sony hdrsr1 but i'm not sure if it will work and i will be able to edit from this. does anyone know? should i just stick to mini dv and be safe in this case? does anyone have any suggestions for a camera that i could edit on this system with and still have it be a good quality camera as far as picture quality, priced under $1500?
    imac g5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    the ADCHD codec isn't supported (yet) on Macs ... probably with some forthcoming QT update..?
    actually, FCE supports miniDV devices only.. standard or HiDef ...
    (ok, antique Digital8 too ... )
    the 3ccd devices of Panasonic have an excellent reputation concerning pic quality ...
