Editing video clips from Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28K 10MP Digital Camera

I've got iMovie '08 and I'm considering getting a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28K camera, which takes HD video (albeit in 8 minute chunks) in what I believe is the .mov format. I don't know much about iMovie, so I was wondering what the steps would be to convert the .mov files into something that would enable me to edit the clips. I also have Quicktime MPEG-2 Playback.
Better yet, are there any Lumix and Mac users out there who have experience with this particular combination? I'd appreciate any suggestions... I realize that it may seem more appropriate to just buy a camcorder, but I really won't be using the video option very heavily. It's just an extra bonus, if I can make it work efficiently with iMovie.

  • Opening RAW photos from Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera

    I am trying to open without success RAW photos from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera after downloading and installing Camera Raw 8.6.  What is my problem?

    Can you upload one of these raw files that don't work for you to a place like www.dropbox.com and post public download link to it?  Either something is wrong/different with the files from your camera or something is wrong with the software on your computer.  Being able to test a file on someone else's computer would help narrow down which.
    FWIW, I can open a sample FZ1000 rw2 file in PS-CC2014/ACR 8.6 from here:

    You might try downloading this specific image and see if it works for you or not.

  • Problem importing video clips from Panasonic SDR-S10

    Hi, can anyone help? In iMovie I try to import my video clips from my Panasonic Camcorder SDR-S10 and it shows clips there, but when you click on them the clip icon disappears. Try to import and it doesn't import anything? Any ideas.
    Anyone know a workaround for importing clips from this camera I get a lot of problems with a Mac when using this one.
    Thanks
    Hayley

    I have the same camcorder and have used Visual Hub to convert the .mod clips to .dv files which work just fine with iMovie. You can try out Visual Hub for clips less than 2 minutes in length in the trial mode. I think it costs about $20. Also, I've heard you can buy an mpeg2 plug in for Quicktime Pro that will let you use those files. I think that is also about $20.
    Also, search the apple discussions for ".mod" and you'll find a lot of other similar questions to the one you asked.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPhoto does not import HD video/MTS files for Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5.

    Hello, everyone. I'm using iPhoto '11 on an iMac i7. I recently bought the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5, which records HD video (AVCHD Lite). When I insert the memory card into my iMac, it recognizes and imports all photos. However, the videos are left on the memory card, and I cannot even view them in iPhoto. When looking directly in the memory card, I can see the videos (they are MTS files), but nothing will play them. Is there other software I must install to be able to view/edit these video files. I'd like to see them in iPhoto, and then edit them in iMovie like I was able to with my standard definition camera. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have the same camera as you. You can import the files, but you have to convert them manually first, witch takes a couple of secounds.
    1. Download and install the automator script from this blog and put it in your dock http://blog.sharkus.com/2010/04/avchd-lite-iphoto-importing.html
    2. locate the folder /Private/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM on your memory card
    3. Drag your desired videofile (e.g. 000001.mts) on the automator script you put in your dock in step 1.
    4. whait (a couple of secounds, depending file size)
    5. Drag your new videofile (e.g. 000001.mts.m4v) to iphoto
    6. Finished
    Do not try to convert more than two files a once, then the script doesn't work properly.
    I hope apple will include support for mts-files very very soon!!

  • How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • Does Aperture support RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera?

    Please can anyone let me know whether Aperture supports RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera? The Apple Aperture site lists support for DMC-F35 and other later cameras but does not allow a search for others.
    Many thanks.
    John

    Only the cameras on this list are supported:  Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    Th FZ27 is not.
    For my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 I am using Adobe's free DNG Coverter to convert the RAW files to DNG. It does not always work, but for most of the RW2 files I can work in Aperture this way. The stubborn files I convert to TIFF.

  • Since downloading Iphoto 11, we now cannot import photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ-15 camera. Any ideas out there as to why this is occuring. I can still import them onto my laptop which is running Iphoto9

    Since downloading Iphoto 11 onto our desktop computer we now cannot import the photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ15 into Iphoto. However I can import them from the camera onto my Macbook which is still running Iphoto 9.
    When I connect the camera and IPhoto loads, the spinning wheel just keeps on spinning and nothing happens, I have to Force Quit Iphoto to get out of the program. Totally frustrated, it would seem that it is an Iphoto 11 software problem.  Any suggestions out there?
    Regards
    Phil

    Terence,
    not sure what happens here right now, I didn't mean to be offensive. So please let's stay calm. There are some issues with Panasonics described in these threads, and they do sound similar to the issue I'm facing (somewhat hard to say, as a) these people do not use exactly the same camera as I do and b) the descriptions of their problems are not very detailed). I would retract the term "a LOT of issues". Sorry.
    Back in September I described my issue here
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3308591?start=0&tstart=0
    but then the discussion there stopped. Since we were still able to import images manually into iPhoto (and took care of leaving out already imported pictures ourselves), we could live with this as a workaround.
    Since everything worked well recently on my machine with the latest iPhoto version, I decided to upgrade iPhoto on my wife's Mac (where the import problems occured) from '09 to latest '11 (9.2.1). However, after that iPhoto still could not import from the Panasonic's SD card (rotating ball when inserting the card reader, and rotating ball after starting up iPhoto afterwards even w/o card reader plugged in, until the next reboot). So I re-built iPhoto's database (32000 images - 12 hours). Didn't help either. It worked however with a Casio Z-1000's SD card. Thus I re-formatted the Panasonic card yesterday and it seems to work since then.
    My point is that I consider it weird that a SD card works with one Mac and doesn't work with another, although both use the same version of OS X and iPhoto. And, I'm somewhat doubtfull that re-formatting the card will  solve this issue permanently. I believe that I tried to re-format the card already back in September, when I dealt with the issue for the first time, but I have no prove of that.
    I will keep an eye on it and will report here if the problem comes up again.
    Thank you for your help.
    Best wishes,
    Thomas.

  • Cannot delete a video clip from iPad, the Edit button doesn't appear ?

    With iMovie for iOS (iPad) I try to permanently delete a video clip from my iPad.
    I follow the article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3186. But even if the video clip I want to delete is not used in a project, I simply do not find the Edit button in the upper-left corner above the Video browser as mentionned.
    This is a screenshot
    the Ipad is running iOS 5.1.1 (9B206), the video are not stored in 'pellicule'
    Am I crazy ?
    Thank you for any help.

    Did you shoot the video in iMovie?
    Or did you shoot it via the camera app?
    If it was shot in the camera app, then it needs to be deleted in the Photos app.
    Can you see the video in the photos app?
    You can permanently delete a video clip from your device as long as it’s not in the Camera Roll or the Photos app.

  • AVCHD Lite Support in iMovie 09 - Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3

    Hi,
    When I import AVCHD Lite movies from the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3, they don't import correctly and have skips. Anyone know what's going on? Is the AVCHD Lite codec not supported by iMovie '09?

    This may or may not help you, but I have read that the ZS3 records at 30fps but it outputs at 60fps through frame doubling. I am not sure exactly how it does this but I believe it is a flag.
    I have also read that iMovie does not read the flags correctly to frame double the clip which is why your 39 second clip is outputting at double the speed and completing in 20 seconds.
    I also read that it is possible to get iMovie to correct this, but I can not remember the precise steps. You may google for it. Basically it goes like this. You import the movie using iMovie and save it. Then close iMovie. Then you select the movie and (and this is the bit I do not remember) somehow modify a frame rate setting to correct it from 30fps to 60fps. Then open iMovie again and apparently it plays correctly.
    Sorry I could not be more help, but god luck with google and hopefully I have given you a few pointers to follow up on.

  • Camera Raw update for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000

    Hi.
    I have Elements 11 and need to update it to open .raw files shot with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000. I can't find the link where I can download the camera raw update.
    Can you please help me?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The FZ1000 requires camera raw 8.6 which is NOT compatible with PSE 11.
    You will need to upgrade to PSE 13 or use the DNG converter.

  • Moving Video Clips from iPhone 4 to iPad

    Is there an easy way to move video clips from an iPhone4 to the iPad? I tried sending the videos to MobileMe but when I view them on the iPad, there is no download option offered. I want to move the clips to the iPad to do video editing on a larger screen.

  • Import video clip from DVD

    Can anyone help me learn what I need to import video clips from my family video DVD's? I created the DVD's from tapes through Pinnacle Studio 8 (before becoming a Mac fan).
    Thanks for any help you can give me,
    Ann

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    My personal choice would be to edit them to a compatible format such as DV, you can do this with mpegstreamclip (free) provided you have the QT mpeg2 playback component installed (think it's $30), there are other third party software solutions, no doubt others will have their favourites.
