Editing 1080p from Sony z7u

I'm planning on editing a feature length documentary, that is being shot with the new Sony z7u. I'm wondering if I can edit this project with a dual 2.5ghz power pc at 1080p?

yes, should be fine - I have a dual 2.5 G5 and work with 1080P (HDV) all the time.

  • Cannot play/edit video from camcorder (Sony)

    I am using iMovie 11 (latest version) under Lion on a 17" MBP with 8gb RAM. There are two scenarios I have followed to edit video from my Sony HDR-CX150 camcorder:
    I import directly into iMovie from the camera using a USB cable. The program finds the video files, imports them into clips, and they appear in the clip area of the program's screen.
    I read the files into a folder and convert them to .mp4 files using Video-Converter from Wondershare. I then import the mp4 clips into iMovie with the same results as in 1.
    In both cases, when I attempt to play a clip, is starts, I heart the sound for about 3-5 seconds, after which it mutes. The video does not play; the playback pane continues to show the first frame of the clip. If I scrub along the clip, however, I see the video play and hear the audio. I know that Apple says they don't support this Sony camera in iMovie, but it seems that it should at least support .mp4 clips as I create with Video-Converter.
    I have tried recording in HD and Standard modes, to no avail. Quicktime plays the clips without a hitch. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    That would be great, you would open the door to professional video editing ipad 2. Is there an accepted camera list?.

    There does not appear to be a list yet.

  • Sony z7u

    Just wondering about a post workflow for using the Sony z7u. Its for a feature documentary. We will need to deliver a HD Cam 29.97 master. Not sure if we'll have any problems going to the interlaced master if we shoot/ edit at 1080p. Thanks.

    Mainly my job is wedding videography, so i bought Z7 (august 2008) to be able to produce (finaly) blu-ray disks for my clients. Testing the camera in different modes figures out that the most smooth (HDV) picture is 1080i. 1080p is good enough if you shoot landscapes or somewhat still images in other cases picture looks jerky. My final output is DVD or Blu-ray (PAL). Editing - FCP, authoring - DVD Studio Pro or Adobe Encore CS4.
    Maybe i missed somth concerning camera settings?

  • Importing footage from sony HDR-SR12 to External for later use in imovie?

    Hi all, I have a question, I would like to save my movie footage which is on my sony HDR-SR12 to a external drive(G Raid1TB) so I can view and also import clips to imovie for making movie's later. I have partitioned the Ext HD 150gb for photos and 781gb for movie footage. Just out of curiosity I mounted my camera and pressed get info and the format on the sony camera is MS-Dos(fat32) does this matter at all?  Also which is the best way or how do I  import the footage from sony hdr-sr12 to the external Hd. I have never done this before so your help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to mess up.
    Thank You
    Jess

    I should have mentioned, it is a good idea to make an archive copy of your AVCHD footage before importing. You should be able to do this from the FILE menu in iMovie. This will preserve the AVCHD files exactly as they were on the camera.
    When you import, you convert the AVCHD files (which are highly compressed) into Apple Intermediate Codec, which is suitable for editing.
    If you want to make sure that your archive copy is working properly, you can import from your archive copy, rather than importing directly from the camera. This is a good way to make sure you have a good archive copy before erasing the video on the camera.

  • Importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder

    Looking for help on importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder.
    I recently purchased a new imac (1st mac) and imported the stored video on my Sony 120GB HDD camcorder. I would estimate that this is approximately 60-80 GB worth of video on the camcorder but when I imported this has become over 800GB on my imac and basically fills the HD.
    My question is - is this normal or am I doing something wrong.
    Cheers

    Unfortunately the video from the current crop of High Def capable cameras use a really highly compressed file format to save video. The one most used is called AVCHD and it can really save a lot of space ON THE CAMERA if you like to shoot at the highest resolution. However to edit that video, it needs to be decompressed so that iMovie can preview it, and edit it accurately down to the individual video frame level (1/30th of a second). So the short answer is you're not doing anything wrong, those video clips can expand up to 40-75GBytes per hour of video after they are imported into the iMovie Events folders. However it is entirely possible to store the iMovie Events folders on an additional external hard drive. And that's usuallly the best solution for anyone quickly running out of space.

  • Editing footage with sony HXR-MC50E what cable or program do I need to transfer

    Editing footage with sony HXR-MC50E what cable or program do I need to transfer footage to computer and into Final Cut Pro?
    I am editing with Final Cut Pro
    I have a Mac
    My footage is on the HXR-MC50E

    One small correction-- you do not use File-->Import. You must use Log and Transfer in FCP 7 or Import From Camera/Import Media in FCP X. In FCP 7 the clips will be automatically converted to ProRes upon import. In FCP X you can choose to work with the native files (re-wrapped to .mov) or you can optionally transcode to ProRes. When importing in FCP X, enable the 'create optimized media files' option to convert to ProRes. If you do not enable this option the files will remain in their native codec.

  • Importing and Using Video from Sony DVD Camcorders

    I have a Sony DVD Camcorder (DCR-DVD 92) and I have recently shot a lot of footage which is now on my computer. The file extensions are .BUP, .IFO, and .VOB. I am able to import some of the files into final cut but they are shortened to only a few seconds each when in reality, they were shot for several minutes. Is there a way to make these work or to convert the files so they can be edited in Final Cut Pro 5?

    You should find that GreatVideo! v1.7 for Mac OS X - 10.4', by Software Architects, Inc., solves your problem. Converts from Sony to Mac readable format.

  • Download and play .MTS (HD pix from Sony DSC-TX10)in my i-Mac

    Hi everyone!
    I got stuck with this one.
    Is there any apple app I can use to dowload HD (.MTS files from Sony DSC-TX10) so as to be able to visualize them on my i-Mac?
    Many thanks!
    Daniel

    ddominguezp, if you want to also edit the .mts videos you may need to 're-wrap' the raw .mts files to get back all the folders and other files that would have been on the memory card when you first recorded your HD video clips. A lot people attempt to pull the video clips out of all the folders surround them and that causes problems for iMovie. iMovie by itself will not recognize the .mts files but needs all the pieces that would have originally come with the .mts file to work. I'm providing a link below to a discussion started by Karsten Schlüter that covers all the bases trying to get a .mts file back into iMovie. What you are trying to do in the end is 're-wrap' the .mts files with all the folders and files that are now missing.

  • Opening arw files from Sony SLT a33 in PSE 9

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to edit photos from my newly purchased Sony SLT a33 but Camera Raw kept coming up with "wrong file type" error messages.  When I tried to open up arw files from my Sony a350 it works fine.
    The only way so far for me to edit my Sony raw file from the SLT a33 is to open it up using the free Sony software, save it as jpeg/Tiff and then exporting it to PSE.  I would like to do it all using the PSE.
    I've searched for updates but there seem to only be a 'patch' for Lightroom and CS.
    Any light on this subject would be very helpful indeed.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Cheers,
    catraz84

    Thank you very much for your help so far.
    I've downloaded the patch as linked by Casey, extracted and ran it.  It showed a bar while updating it with camera Makers etc and it ran smoothly.  I then followed up with 99jon suggestiong and it is still showing up as Camera Raw 6.1.
    I tried opening the newer Arw file and it's still coming up with the "wrong file type" error.  Opening older Arw file pops up in Camera Raw 6.1.
    Any further suggestions regarding this issue?  :'(
    Kind regards

  • How to transfer video files from Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 to Mac?

    How do i transfer video files from a Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 to Mac?

    First suggestion would be to read your manual that came with the camea for proper cable use for transfer.  The iMac has a FW800 port and also USB2.0 port.  Once connected you can import them into iMove and edit them from there.  Some Sony codecs may require converting. 
    Firewire Cable is first needful thing.

    I have a Sony HVR Z series HD camera from sony.  I will capture a tape and it will be out of sync. I will then recapture and it may be in sync or not, this is really frustrating especially for music videos and weddings, actually a nightmare. I'm not quite sure as to the reason as it happens in Adobe Premiere cs3 and cs4. I have updated everything. Do you thing I need a 10000 RPM os system drive. Any help would be appreciated.
    Joan

    I have 2 Sony HDR FX1 and 1 Sony HVR Z1U and it works great in both CS3 & CS4 so something is wrong with your setup or camera.
    I only have a 7200 SATA drive for capture.
    I dont know if a bad cable would cause this.
    Harm has a couple other ways to capture that he says it keeps the audio in sync better but I have yet tried it but im sure from what I have read here that it works good.
    Here is a link to his Tools Article.

    Here are those 2 capture ways:

    Scenalyzer: http://www.scenalyzer.com/main.html for capturing SD material
    HDVSplit: http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm for capturing HDV material
    Hope this helps:  Glenn
    EDIT:
    I have an 5 year old system.
    On Bills PPBM4 test you can see that I scored second to LAST on speed so even my system can capture fine.

    Take the test and see how your system is running.  It doesnt take to long.
