Editing Sony material frppm SOny hard disk

I have footage shot with the very small new Sony hard disk camcorder. AVCHD with .MTS format.
How do I get it into FCP6 for editing? Can I output on DVD or some other format?

Update to 6.0.2...then use the Log and Transfer option in the FILE menu. In the little Sprocket drop down menu, choose PRO RES or AIC as the transcoding option...as FCP doesn't deal with AVCHD natively.
OUtput to DVD? Yes...via COmpressor and DVD Studio Pro. SD DVD only. And...what other format were you thinking about?

  • Problems with Sony XDCAM PHU-60 hard disk unit

    Hello,
    I have footage that was shot using an EX3 and recorded to the PHU-60 hard disk unit. I've been using this since September with no problems. Today when I went to transfer the footage to my computer the PHU-60 is not mounting. I connected it back to my camera and the footage is there. I tried connecting the camera to the computer and it still won't mount. I really need to get this footage from the PHU-60 onto my computer. Any suggestions? Has anyone else had problems like this with the PHU-60?

    After several restarts and trying multiple USB cables I have it working.

  • Cant write/edit data on my external hard disk! Help please!~~

    Okay guys, currently, i'm using Tiger version 10.4.11. My problem is that i cant edit data or write data to any external hard disks, like the maxtor One Touch and so on. Only thing i can do is to extract the data from the disks. I have tried to write on multiple hard disks but in all my attempts i have failed. i've tried to edit my network settings, but no results.
    So, i seek help from anyone out here!

    Hello, yea.. thanks man =)
    Basically, its a shared hard disk between my macbook and a windows PC. So i kinda use the PC to write all my backups and data on the hard disk.
    I have quite a few hard disk and they all have the same issue. It says 'The item 'file x'cannot be moved because 'my hard disk' cannot be modified.'I've used the software provided from the hard disk manufacturer, Maxtor/Seagate, to reformat the brand new portable hard disk which i bought yesterday.
    Its connected via USB, same as all the other ones i have.
    eh. the get info for it says

  • Connexion of hard disk video camera SONY

    I wanted to buy a new video camera SONY DCR SR210 with hard disk included and I read in some forums that connexion with Mac was if not impossible at least very difficult.
    Why the connexion with iMovie which works automatically with my current mini DV SONY camera would not be possible ?
    Thanks

    It won't be possible because that cam is not on the Apple compatibility list for iMovie 08.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1014
    Why do you want to switch over to a hard drive cam anyway? Do you like lesser quality, more chance of losing precious memories and loss of easy archivability, as done easily with tape?
    Get a better miniDV or maybe an HDV tape cam instead and stay with the best quality video and ease of use with ANY iMovie version.

  • Sony Hard Disk Camera and FCP

    Just got a Sony Hard Disk camera. It appears to be formatting the movie files in mpeg2. FCP will not allow me to import the files into the browser. Quick Time also gives me an error saying that the files are not recognizable. Any suggestions?

    Sue:
    If your camera just save video as MPEG2, you cannot use those files directly into FCP. You can use i.e. MPEG Streamclip to convert them to i.e. DV NTSC and import those files into FCP.
    You didn't mention your camera model but probably it has only USB connection.
    You must think about changing it for a camera with Firewire communication (as DV tape cameras) to get your footage directly into FCP without re-encoding.
    Hope it helps !

  • Sony DSR-DR1000 Hard Disk DVCAM recorder

    Is anyone using one of these with a Final Cut Studio system? I have the chance to purchase one at a high discount, but I'm not sure if it's useful enough. My questions:
    1) The unit I'm looking at has a lot of fan noise. Is this typical?
    2) Is there a way to use it like other hard disc recorders, i.e. take the recorded files directly off the system and import them into FCP?
    3) Are there any other advantages to using this versus say a Citidisk or Firestore?
    Thanks,
    Eliot

    Thanks John, and David. Further to my questions, here's some more background:
    1. I looked through the m2t results from the search page, and many references are made to m2ts format but not so much referring to m2t files.
    2. I guess my real question is: in PPro CS3 am I able to transfer the files (HDV .m2t) recorded by the Sony HVR-DR60 60GB hard drive and import them into a PPro CS3 HDV project? Please note I haven't purchased this hard drive yet.
    3. I would be eventually outputting to a HD Windows Media File format (.wmv) using Adobe Media Encoder.
    Thanks, and any insights you have to the above would be most appreciated.

  • Sony Hard disk error. Warranty services ?

    Recently I bought a hard disk E-1 1TB and now it doesn't show up when I connect. I tried in other laptops also. I have invoice bill is it enough to avail warranty services or warranty card is also required? If I dont have warranty card how can I get it ? Any possible way of getting warranty services?
    Never expected this kind of product from Sony

    If you have warranty and proper invoice, they you should not worry about your faulty hard disk. First you must make sure the hard disk problem with local technical person and then raise up complaint to replace the product.

  • Importing tape material from SONY HDR-HC7e, blue screen

    Hi,
    I get blue screen even though the cam and the iMovie are communicating.
    I tried importing in FCexpress with no hassle.
    Any ideas, what to do in iMovie?

    Hi
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named. com.apple.iMovie.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.
    iMovie updated ?
    QuickTime updated ?

  • Getting my new Sony Handycan DCR-DVD92 mini disk data into FCE

    Getting my new Sony Handycan DCR-DVD92 mini disk data into FCE?
    The mini disk will not work in the Powerbook G4 slot reader, so I hear, and the software for editing the data runs on the dark side.
    I am aware that I could do it OK on the PC and probably burn a regular DVD disk that I could then read into FCE.
    However, I would like to leave the PC and the dark side behind and do it all on the Powerbook. Addonics has an external tray firewire reader supposed to work OK on a mac. Is their stuff any good?? This is their Mobile DVD/CDRW 16x52x24x52 Firewire unit. $125.00. Will it really work on my Powerbook?
    Assuming it works, can FCE work with the Sony format? Probably not. Is there any software to convert the Sony to FCE's liking?

    Dear Mr. Chroma,
    Al, you may have supplied the answer. I do have a DV tape camcorder and perhaps I can dub from the Sony mini-disk to the DV tape. And then go to FCE! Yea!
    The Addonics thingey is an external DVD drive with a firewire link and it has a tray for the input. The mini-DVDs cannot be used with the Powerbook DVD slot, but can be read with a tray drive.
    Thus, I could read the mini-DVD data into the Powerbook. However, I am not sure that I am out of the woods at that point. Maybe I am. I have read that the mini-DVD is in MPEG-2.
    I like your suggestion because I already have the DV tape camcorder and can find out if the data is compatible with FCE without spending more money.
    I do not believe that there will be any analogue to digital conversion. Everything is digital all the way. The results when playing the mini-DVD from my camcorder seem to be very good, according to the Amazon reviews. And, Wikipedia says that MPEG-2, with some modifications, is also the coding format used by standard commercial DVD movies.
    However, the proof will be in the pudding.
    I do not have FCE yet. It is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I am just doing a lot of homework right now.
    Thanks again.

  • Moving photos from one hard disk to another but not loosing the editing history on the photo

    Hello,
    I have one hard disk filling up with photos, so I have purchased a secondary hard disk to expand my storage.  I would like to move my shoots from 2010 to that new hard disk, but I don't want to loose all of the edits saved on them in LR3.  I have experimented with moving non-important images that have edits on them, then re-importing them.  Unfortunately, LR3 does not preserve that history.  Is this possible?
    Thanks!
    Adam Pendleton

    Adam, reimporting is not the way to achieve what you want.
    There are several ways to achieve your goal though:
    1. Move the files with your OS from one drive to the other - best to move one folder if they are all in one (2010) and then relink in LR by right clicking the folder in the Library Folder panel and choosing "Update Folder Location".
    2. Use Lightroom to move the folders in the Library by dragging and dropping them - this can be done one folder at a time only.

  • 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!

  • Hard Disk Setup for Video Editing

    Dear Forum.
    My name is Tom Woods and I was hoping that you may be able to advise me or point me in the right direction, in regards to the question below....
      : ) Im not sure if you are in this area or not, my apologies to you if this is the case.. Here goes..
    I'm thinking of getting Adobe Production Premium installed where ill be using Photoshop, After Effects, and Premier Pro, and need some advice on my current Disk Setup to maximize performance to work with editing HD 1080i video.
    My question is;
    "Which of my internal 'Disks', do I assign the following processes to, these processes are;
    Photoshop: SCRATCH DISK
    After Effects: DISK CACHE
    Premier Pro: SCRATCH DISK Captured Video  / SCRATCH DISK Captured Audio  / SCRATCH DISK Video Previews  / SCRATCH DISK  Audio Previews   
    Premier Pro: MEDIA CACHE FILES / DATABASE
    And finally the recorded Video 'parts' ready for editing, and the 'previews', and then the 'saved project file'.
    My current Disk setup is:
    C: SSD - 90GB (quite full)
    D: SSD - still considering size to purchase
    E: SSD - still considering size to purchase
    F: HDD - 500 GB (currently used for all Video Parts and all work)
    *Also, for drives D & E, what 'SIZE' in GB would they need to be for assigning the Scratch, Cache and other files mentioned above? (when i purchase them)*
    If you can help me out with this it would be totally amazing, im really stuck and finding internet advice very unclear..
    I appreciate you will be busy but I thought I would try here first for some help! Thank you so much for reading this so far...
    My Best regards to you
    Timmy

    Tom,
    Let's start with the terminology. Once you understand that, things will become a lot easier.
    MEDIA: Name for all the raw material you shot, whether video or pictures or audio recordings. It does not matter whether this was captured from tape based video cameras, or imported from card or disk based cameras.
    MEDIA CACHE: When Media are imported into a project, PR automatically creates three kind of files that are stored in the location you set up in the Preferences. They are .IMS files or indexed files, .CFA or conformed audio files and last .PEK files, that display the audio waveform in the timeline.
    MEDIA CACHE DATABASE: Also automatically created by PR and contains pointers to the files in the Media Cache.
    Note that occasionally the Media Cache and Media Cache Database can become corrupted and in that case it is a good idea to Clean the Media Cache from Preferences. When opening a project indexing, conforming and generation of PEK files is automatically done. Just be a bit patient for that process to finish.
    PREVIEWS: Also called RENDER files. When you render a timeline to turn the red bar into a green bar for preview purposes, PR stores .XMP files in the PRV directory location you have set in the Project Settings.
    Media files are typically very large and require a good sustained sequential read speed. Once ingested (imported or captured) they remain unchanged, because PR is a non-destructive editor. On the one hand this makes a SSD an ideal type of disk, because it is only reading the media files and not writing, but the size may be the limiting factor.
    Media cache files are typically small and many, so here sustained R/W transfer rates are important, making it less than ideal to put them on a SSD, because the major drawback of SSD's is their limited and finite number of writes.
    Now Tom, to your specific situation:
    C: SSD for OS & programs.
    D: HDD for media and projects (because of the size of the media and frequent changes in projects).
    E: SSD for static page-file and exports.
    F: SSD for media cache and previews, although a HDD may give you better life expectancy but also slower performance.
    Maybe this article can be helpful as well, because it shows the impact of codecs on your system: Adobe Forums: What PC to build? An update...
    You may have to get additional HDD's for raid configuations, if you edit 4K material or 422 material, because it is all about transfer rates.
    To give you a rough indications of what you can expect from your drives, I suggest you get HD Tune Pro to test for yourself, but here are some indicative figures:
    SSD: R around 450 MB/s, W around 300 MB/s, depending on the brand/model in steady state with SATA 6G. SATA 3G is far slower. Sandforce controllers may top out around 250 MB/s W.
    HDD: R around 150 MB/s, W around 140 MB/s

  • Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Select Edition Entertainment Notebook PC hard disk failure imminent.

    Lately this laptop has been running slow and hot. Just yesterday,  I recieved an error message on my laptop (HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO), saying "SMART Hard Disk Error" followed by a message telling me that the SMART hard disk check has detected an imminent failure. It told me to backup my files and then press F2 and run a hard disk test. The Quick Test Passed. The complete test gave this error.:"Hard Disk reporting failure 301 Disk Name: Toshiba MK7559GSXP Volume C:/D:/F:/)". I am sure I will have to replace the hard disk. Right now it is a Toshiba 750GB SATA hard disk drive, 5400 RPM, 2.5 inch small form factor (SFF). Can this hard drive be replaced with a Hybrid SSHD like the following:
    Seagate Hybrid Drives ST1000LM014 1TB MLC/8GB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s NCQ 2.5" Laptop SSHD 
    or
    TOSHIBA Hybrid Drives MQ01ABD100H 1TB+8GB(NAND Flash) 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Laptop SSHD
    If not, what would be the best replacement hard drive that you reccommend?

    Hi,
    You can put the second HDD on the second bay, existing BIOS can handle this BUT you need more hardware namely a caddy set (caddy & cables). You can buy from:
