Date Code Import from Sony PC1000 to iMovieHD

hi all,
anybody out there who successfully imported the date code from a Sony DCR-PC1000 to iMovieHD?
any input/advice will be highly appreciated?
just in case anybody asks, i have already set the data code on the camcorder to date/time and is already displayed on the camcorder's LCD but not on iMovieHD..
thanks...

Karsten,
Don't be so quick to put down good old analogue. You should try it some time. What's 100 lines or so -the difference between S video & digital(depending on whether the miniDV camera IS recording what it claims...)theoretically 500 to 520 lines....( I suspect some miniDV cameras struggle to achieve 500 lines) S video connection will still give a good quality picture & iJay will finish much quicker than trying to render his clips( actually we don't know how long ...). Sometimes You don't want to grow old waiting to see if it woked with a plugin when you can get in real time in analogue.

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.

Importing from Sony DV into iMovie & getting Darker video image

Importing from Sony DV (Video quality looks great on video LCD screen) into iMovie & getting Darker video image. After I import into iMovie the video image is darker, making in harder to edit. I appreciate any help with understanding how I can improve the video quality when importing.
Thank you

Welcome to discussions!
You may just need to adjust your monitor.

Cannot import from Sony DSR-25 DVCAM player

Final Cut pro will not import from Sony DSR-25 DVCam rocorder/player. Video apperars in the imprort window and plays but nothing in the event window.

A lot of problems with the Tunderbolt to FW adapters for DV ca[ture and with the rocketfish cables.

Getting the data code infomation from my sony fx1 camera into final cut pro

hi
any help/advice would be great.
i have shot some footage and am capturing it now,ideally i would like a time of day timecode
i dont think the f1 has a timecode on it ,but when i press the data code button it shows the time at recording ,which is perfect for what i need, but when i look at the clip in the browser there is nothing in the media start and end box's.
so my question is ,is there a way to have the data code information (ie time of day it is recorded) shown in fcp?
cheers all
simon

i know i have posted it......
but it has got me bothered as there must be a way to view the data code infomation in fcp and somehow see it in the media in and out like you do in time of day timecode i get from other cameras hoping some clever person will know what i can do or if its not possible at all even though the data code can be read by other mini dv cameras
thanks all for your reply's

IMovie HD won't import from Sony HDR-HC1

iMovie HD 5.0.2 (111) on my G5 desktop controls, but won't import from, my new little Sony HDR-HC1 1080i DV camcorder. Same was the case with my 12" 1 GHz PowerBook until, at the advice of a Manhattan Beach Genius Bar tech, I did an archive reinstall of 10.4 and a reinstall of iMovie HD on both my G5 PowerMac and G4 PowerBook and then downloaded all the updates. Now my PowerBook works, but my PowerMac still won't import. On an empty second HD in my PowerMac I installed OS 10.4 and iMovie HD ONLY (to create as sterile as possible of an environment), made the 2nd HD my startup drive, and still iMovie HD on my PowerMac will not import from this camera (although it will from an older Sony VX-1000 regular def camcorder).
Does anybody have any solutions, or any idea why iMovie HD now imports on my PowerBook but after the same makeover still won't on my PowerMac?
Per earlier posts, I tried playing some piano notes in Garage Band, trashing the iMovie preference files, and reinstalling QuickTime (the tech had heard QT 7.0.3 could be at fault from becoming corrupted in certain updating combinations), all to no avail.
HELP!
PowerMac G5 2 x 2.67 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I have had import/capture problems using FW drives with FCE/iMovie5 and my 2gig iMac. My canon GL2 works fine but only when no other FW devices are connected to the FW port I use the computers internal drive to capture. If your using the G5's internal SATA drives this (below) may not apply.

Some G5 users have had to purchase a FW PCI card or have the G5 front FW port replaced. Check this link.

Photos on my Mac show the wrong date when imported from a portable Hard Drive

I’ve got loads of photos that I had imported from my old PC.Last night I decided to start going through them and trying to get them sorted
prior to importing into iphoto. I discovered that some of the pictures (in particular ones I have taken from my old Iphone) all had the same date and time
assigned to them. When I checked the Exif details, it listed the correct camera etc, but the date created seems to have changed to the date I copied them to my portable hard drive.
I thought this was strange as when they were on my PC I thought they were correct. I booted my PC up and checked the portable hard drive on Windows. When viewed on my PC the pictures all have the correct time and date assigned to them. However when I plug the same portable hard drive into my Mac the same files show up as being created on a more recent date (say 20th Jan 2013).
I’ve done a lot of research last night, although I can find no forum with this exact problem, I feel it must have something to do with compatibility. The portable hard drive is FAT32, and I am assuming that in order to ensure all of the photos information is transferred correctly in needs to be NTFS.
The problem I have is how do I transfer my files again from my PC to an NTFS drive, whilst keeping all of the correct date and time information assigned to the photos. My understanding is that the 2 aren’t compatible.
Has anyone ever had this problem? It mainly seems to be with photos I have extracted from my Iphone or edited in some form by rotating them.
I have a 13" Macbook Pro Retina with OSX Mavericks installed.

What you may want to do is archive as a Zipfile the photos and then transfer them to the Mac.     It is possible some of the metadata is being lost on the FAT32 formatting.    USB Flashdrive might work better than a FAT32 formatted hard drive, as I do know that most USB Flashdrives are formatted about the same as SD media cards, which manage to preserve the data when copied from camera to Mac.    My big question is, do you still have the photos on media cards? You might just want to get a media card reader on your Mac, if the photos are not on SD cards, and transfer them over with the media card reader.
I do believe Retina MacBook Pros all have SD card readers built-in.
Note: I've asked this be moved to the MacBook Pro forum. MacBook without the secondary name refers to the consumer notebook Apple stopped making in 2011.

Import from sony camcorder

hi, i have a sony HD camcorder (HDR-350E) which isn't supported by FCE, but is by iMovie. So I imported my clips using iMovie, then dragged the files onto the project browser window in FCE. Is that the best way to import from iMovie? Or should I be doing it in some other way?
Thanks

How do I remove certain data being imported from a php file

I have data being loaded from a php into an xml class.
My host (which is free for testing purposes) keeps adding data to the php file which causes errors. I need to know how I can delete this extra text before I put the data into an XML class so I do not get the error. I did a trace of the data and this is what comes up below. I need everything below the </data> tag to be removed but do not know how to do this. Can someone please help me.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><data>

    <yahoo rate='3' />
    <msn rate='2' />
    <tv rate='10' />

Dropped frames when importing from sony dcr-hc52

hey all,
i'm getting a lot of dropped frames when importing from my sony cdr-hc52. anyone had this experience? is there a setting i'm missing that would correct this?
thanks in advance,
filmgrrrl

Hello kellyfromkenley, Depending on how you move the video or share the video from iMovie to iDVD it can make a big difference. One way is to go to the Share Menu > Share to iDVD. But the better is to Share to Media Browser instead. Try this:
Go back to iMovie and open your Project in Project Library.
Go to Share Menu > Share to Media Browser
Choose the Large size and let it run until it finishes
Quit iMovie and open iDVD.
In iDVD click on the Media Button, then click on the Movies button and look for your project under the iMovie star icon in the Media Browser itself.
Drag that project icon into the iDVD project window and burn another disk
I think you'll see an increase in the visual quality using this method.
The reason this has an effect on the visual quality is there's a whole different set of operations performed on the video when you first Share to Media Browser. The side effect of those changes in steps is a much better looking DVD from your iMovie project.

How can I import from Sony Hi-8 digital?

I want to import footage made on a Sony DCR-TRV103, but being as it's a 10+ yr old camcorder, it seems to be out of reach. Any suggestions appreciated.

I should have clarified my situation: I HAVE one of these cameras. The "out of reach" part refers to it not being on the list of video tape camcorders that FCP X is compatible with, which appears to be borne out by the app not seeing the FireWire-connected device when I try to import from my tapes.
Maybe there's an issue with the camcorder's FireWire, or another deficiency, I can't tell. But I can try to use an older setup, with FCP 5, which used to work.
Thanks for the thought, at any rate, and for any further ideas.

Import from Sony HDR-SR5?

i love imovie and always use it with my Sony HDR-SR5 and it works seamlessly, but today whenever i tried to import my videos to my computer it would "unexpectedly" close and i tired it multiple times, and reported it to apple. Any suggestions?
Please help!

I'm having the same problem with certain clips imported from my Sony HDR-SR5. While importing certain clips, iMovie "unexpectedly quits". Sometimes I can import those same clips that shut down iMovie, but when they do import successfully, they are very jittery.
Any solutions? Is it iMovie or the camera?
Thanks.

Import from Sony CCD TR96

I would like to import videos from my Sony CCD TR96 to iMovie 11 on my iMac. What equipment do I need to make the connection? Thanks.

I see from your other posts that you have a Sony TRV 22.
This model has Analogue to Digital passthrough. In other words it can convert analogue to digital.
Take the analogue output from the TR 96 and connect to the input of the TRV 22 using the phono and S video ports.Note these phono and Svideo ports on your TRV22 are used for both input and output so you have to select from the menu on your camera.You will need your TRV 22 user manual to set this up for passthrough mode.If you no longer have it you should be able to download from Sony.
When in passthrough mode connect firewire from TRV 22 to your Mac. Run camcorders on power not batteries.
Play your analogue tape on the TR 96 and you should see it in iMovie.

Import from Sony QX1 ~ Stripes

Does anyone know why I am getting these stripes when I import from a mini SD card from the Sony QX1? I am assuming it is Lightroom as I don't get them in Aperture on my Mac. I am using Lightroom 5.7

These types of problems usually indicate a hardware problem. Perhaps a bad cable, or card reader, or a failing hard drive. The download process itself doesn't do anything to the image other than copy it from the camera or card reader.
