FCE 4 and JVC everio hd7 "easy set up"

Ok I currently have a JVC everio hd7 which is a hard drive based cam. I also bought FCE 4 but I am exhausted of importing clips to imovie6 and then FC. I would like to know if anyone has had any luck with these two?

Not sure why you are going through iMovie first. Sounds like you are in the same boat I am with my hard drive based Sony cam. If your JVC saves clips as MPG, you have to use MPEG Streamclip to convert them. There is a batch save option which allows you to save all your clips in the same format, then you can walk away and let it do the work. Go to http://www.squared5.com to download the free software. Use these settings when you export:
Export to Quicktime
Compression: Apple DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Quality: 100%
Frame Size: 854 x 480 (16:9) [If your camera is 16:9, which most new cameras are.]
Be sure to deselect "Interlaced Scaling" and "Reinterlace Chroma" so you don't get that jittery effect.
The mov files will end up being twice the size of the mpg, but according to Ian Brown, that's normal.

  • IMovie 2008 and JVC Everio HD Camcorder

    I recently purchased a brand new iMac and a JVC Everio HD Camcorder. The first time I tried to import the videos taken from my JVC, iMovie recognized it. Now it seems that it does not. Everytime I connect the camcorder to the iMac only iPhoto opens. When I go to "File" "Import from camera" the internal iMac camera opens but nothing with the Everio Camcorder.
    What is wrong?

    The same happens to us. The JVC HD camcorder had worked fine importing when I dragged the .TOD movie files in to iMovie 06. Now,I try to drag the same file type to iMovie 08 -- and it doesn't even recognize the file.
    But iMovie 06 recognizes 1440 CBR files when importing via firewire. Maybe if you film in CBR format, iMovie 08 will recognize he file? Here's a link to the JVC's site for a tutorial on the CBR format: http://media2.jvc.com/camcorder/macHD.mov
    Hmmm, but what about my .TOD files in iMovie 08?????? That's the problem! Thanks for any and all help!

  • Import Problems with JVC EVERIO HD7 Hard Drive Camcorder

    So i just got this new camcorder and low and behold the format it puts out the video in isnt accepted by iMovie HD, the files are in .MOI and .TOD format, any help on getting formatting them right would be greatly appreciated

    I've been having the same problem - trying to import files from a JVC GZ HD-10 and the files not being recognised. I've downloaded the QT components as per the above post, but when I try to install them I get this message:
    'The installer can't detect an earlier version or proper version for installing this upgrade. Close this message box to end the installation procedure.'
    What exactly can't it detect an earlier version of? Does it mean Quicktime? Final cut Pro? Has anyone found a way to successfully import files from a JVC camcorder directly into a Mac with the same spec as mine?

  • FCE and JVC HDD

    I have a JVC HDD camera which has movie files not supported by FCE. How can I convert the files to be used in FCE? Is there a recommended software for this?
    Thanks!

    MPEG Streamclip (freeware) along with the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component from Apple ($19.99 USD) can usually handle the conversion.

  • Easy Set Up settings- ? any difference in result between the D-NTSC & AVCHD

    I have just spent a few days starting to understand and work with FCE. My first project was to get my AVCHD materials sitting on Sony Memory sticks into my computer for later use. I finished, but realized I may have done something essentially wrong.
    My objective is to get the maximum data quality into my HDD and subsequent projects. My shoot source material is AVCHD at max HD at full HD resolution 1920 x 1080.
    When moving on to MY next project which was to start capturing Analog video, I was studying and I read about Easy Set Up. This 'window' never came up when I installed FEC. Now, I see that the Easy SetUp that was in play for all of my ingesting of my AVCHD material was as follows: Format - all formats, Rate - All Rates and Use -DV-NTSC
    I see now there are other set ups and now need to understand...
    1) Should I have used a different Easy Set up for the AVCHD capture e.g. - Format = HD , Rate = 29.97fps, and Use = AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920X 1080i60 ?
    2) Is there any difference to the Capture Scratch files I created having used the wrong (?) Easy Set Up ... = Format = all formats, Rate = All Rates and Use = DV-NTSC ....VERSUS .... the Easy Set Up I noticed later which is ... Format = HD , Rate = 29.97fps, and Use = AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920X 1080i60 ?
    In short, have I messed up and created .MOV files that will not be at the best possible quality and use for editing later?
    I am more than happy to redo all my capturing to get the best results.
    THANKS

    Thanks Tom...
    To clarify please... confirm or correct (I am accomplishing some learning here )
    If I hear you right ... because I ingested the material through the Log and Transfer function (for my AVCHD footage), the settings found in the Easy SetUp don't apply. It would appear that for that Log and Transfer function all ingested AVCHD is done with a default setting at all times. In Log and Transfer I found settings in preferences to import, putting the video at AIC and there is no alternate (other than for sound)Also the settings .
    I opened QT M.Inspector and saw the following: Format = Apple Intermediate Codec, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), Millions,16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz & Current Size = 1888 x 1062 pixels (Actual)
    I think that this means that even thigh the pre-set is at 1440 x 1080 , that I actually achieve closer to the 1920 x 1080 result ... because of the size of the actual file itself?
    So .. to summarize my inquiry ... from what I am leaning... As long as I ingest AVCHD in the Log and Transfer function I will always get the maximum result in resolution and file size. And that the settings I found in ESU are for tape capture only.
    Thanks Tom ... I see you are busy on another forum as well. I appreciate all you are doing. If you see me again please understand that I do appreciate the help. I learn in a very different way than normal. After surviving a plane crash doing volunteer help work, and dealing with resulting head injuries the process and flow for me is different and a challenge. I started by learning to read again

  • Hey, I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera, whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there, please help !

    Hey,
    I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera.
    Whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there,
    please help !

    FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
    If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
    What is your camera's exact model name and number?

  • Questions about JVC GZ HD7 and Final Cut

    i'm planning to buy a JVC GZ HD7, but i have some questions about it...
    My imac configuration is
    Imac 20" late 2006
    1 Gb Ram
    Leopard 10.5.2
    Final Cut Studio 2
    Ok
    So my questions are:
    1- When shooting the best setting for me is the 1440cbr, or 1920x1080
    is better? i would like to have progressive instead of interlaced
    moviefiles, but for what i have read the JVC HD7 only shoots interlaced...is possible to turn them into progressive after working in final cut?
    2- In Final Cut Pro what are the sequence settings and the video
    settings for a video shoot from this camera?
    I would like to know the best settings possible for me,
    regarding that i would like to edit in real time, no rendering needed,
    and to have the best image quality that this camera can offer...

    FCE is designed to work with DV/HDV files. It cannot work natively with MPEG2 files. You will need something like MPEG Streamclip to convert your files to a format that FCE understands

  • JVC everio GZ-HD7

    is the JVC everio GZ-HD7 compatible with fcp?

    Technically?....check the following...
    Editing
    The JVC HD Everio GZ-HD7 comes with an attractive bundle of editing and archiving software for Windows-based PCs from Cyberlink BD Solution software suite, similar to their Cyberlink bundles in the past. This software suite contains PowerDirector for HD video editing, PowerProducer for the authoring of high definition Blu-ray discs and DVD video discs, and PowerCinema, a program that can be used both for playback and the management of image and video files.
    One of the major hurdles for video enthusiasts looking to make the jump to full HD content has been a lack of affordable Blu-ray software. The inclusion of Cyberlinks BD Solution suite provides a surprisingly complete end-to-end BD solution. PowerMac users will need to assemble their own solutions as the CyberLink BD Solution suite is compatible only with Intel-based Macs and even that is complicated. You must own a copy of Windows for Mac and run the program through Bootcamp.<

  • JVC Everio and 16/9

    Hi all . I have trouble with video from JVC everio cams . I download video from this cam to pc with copy .

But after i import this video to adobe , the video is 4/3 and the picture is demaged ... Setting in the camera is widescreen ...      thanx for help    marek

    Which project setting did you select when you set up your Premiere Elements project?
    Premiere Elements 9 includes a special project setting for use with JVC camcorders.
    Also, you don't say how you got the video from the camcorder to your computer but, if you want it to maintain its aspect ratio, you should use Premiere Elements' Get Media tool.
    My free Basic Training tutorial series shows you how to set up a project and get media into it.

  • FCS2 and import form JVC GZ-HD7

    I really have a very hard time sorting this out. I am thinking about purchasing JVC GZ-HD7 camera. I know there is an issue with importing files into FCS. I want to see what would be an easy way of importing .TOD and transcoding them into .MOV format. I also wanted to see if they can be captured through ProRes QH codes? Thank- Robert

  • I borrowed a JVC Everio Camcorder that stores the shot video in a CED format.  How in the world do I play back on my MAC and convert files so I can download to iPhotos and iMovies?

    I borrowed a JVC Everio HD Camcorder that shoots video and stores on an SD-Card in a CED format.  I cannot playback this video on my MAC and would also like to know how to convert to a more standard form of video.

    I have downloaded the trail....and it won't recognize my .264 files....not sure what the deal is?  Here is a screen shot-they files are "grayed" out....and won't highlight.  Do you see anything wrong?  I'm pulling the files off of a Lorex DVR security system.  LHD200

    Thanks, while it worked on yours it doesn't work on mine, any other ideas?
    Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
    And how long did you hold it down?
    I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
    If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

  • Importing .MOD and .MOI files to iMovie - from JVC EverioS GZ-MS100

    I'm desperate in finding a solution on the problems I have with importing .MOI and .MOD files to iMovie from a JVC EverioS GZ-MS100.
    I have looked up all advices I can, also on this forum... But nothing seems to work for me at all!
    PLEASE someone tell me asap how I can get my videos to iMovie so I can start editing my videos...
    Thank you so much in advance!!
    I have iMovie '09 version 8.0.6 (821).

    The Zi6 is not on the compatibilty list however I based my knowledge on this review at macworld.com
    http://www.macworld.com/article/135948/2008/10/kodakzi6.html
    "To copy your captured content to the Mac, flip out the USB connector, switch on the camera, and jack it into a free USB 2.0 port. If you have the latest version of iPhoto, it launches and offers to import the separate video and image files. If you don’t have the most recent version of iPhoto, you’re welcome to import files into iMovie ‘08 with the File: Import Movie command, or into iMovie HD via the File: Import command. Each command produces an Import navigation window, where you can locate the movies on the attached camera (within the DCIM folder).
    The Zi6’s movies are encoded in the H.264 format; as a result, there’s no need to install another codec to use them as you would for movies recorded with the Flip cameras, because H.264 is natively supported by QuickTime (and therefore iMovie and Final Cut Pro). Audio is recorded in the AAC format at 48 Kbps."
    So this suggests iMovie 08 will accept the file format the Zi6 porduces. I will attempt file conversion before I loose iMovie 06 though.
