FCP 6 no longer 'sees' my Sony HDR-HC7.  Works perfectly with iMovie HD

I used to be able to capture from and print to my HC7. Setup was saved. Now, FCP doesn't 'see' the camera with the saved settings, or when I try setting it up again from scratch. Camera connection, driver, etc. are good in that the camera works perfectly with IMovie HD. Obviously I've messed something up in FCP, but I can't find it. Suggestions?

Thanks for the response SDIllini, unfortunately when I do go the Disk Utility, my camcorder isn't even show for me to even repair the disk permissions. As monty jr stated, Sony was no help for me either, they also told me that I would need to contact Apple. The problem still remains unsolved though, it's as if the MBP just doesn't recognize the camcorder whatsoever. I'm open to any suggestions, have anymore?

  • Can't open Sony HDR-SR8e movie files with iMovie 08

    Has anyone had any success importing movies shot in HD on the Sony SR8e and then importing them into iMovie 08? I can see the files there, but they are all greyed out as if they are not compatible. I've imported them on a seperate PC running windows successfully, transfered the files onto memory stick and put them onto my Mac desktop, however iMovie rejects them if you try and drag them in.
    Everythings upto date, can anyone help?
    Thanks, Neil

    I'd still like to know how to import the files individually as I have loads of existing footage that isn't on the actual camera any more.
    MPEG1 files are playback only compatible with QT. Attempting to add/import such files to iMovie, FCE, or FCP applications would normally automatically convert the video to DV compression and lose the audio content. However, iMovie '08 appears to avoid this problem by refusing to drag 'n drop or import such files in the first place. The normal procedure here would be to open your files in an MPEG based third-party application like MPEG Streamclip (free) and convert the files directly to the DV compression format (keeping the audio) which can then be edited in iMovie, FCE, or FCP.

  • View Footage from FCP to Sony HDR-HC7 Camera

    Hi all,
    I have final cut pro and a Sony HDR-HC7 camera with a SAMSUNG external monitor. I'm trying to view edited video from FCP to my camera then through HDMI to my SAMSUNG external monitor. I can't get this to work.
    This works fine through my DVDPRO deck then component to SAMSUNG external monitor.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the answer.
    Now I tried to link my iMac directly to my television (mini DVI to HDMI) to watch my movie, but I got no picture on my television. It is a Panasonic Viera, HD ready (TH-42PV60E). It has 2 HDMI inputs. Has anybody succeeded yet in doing this?

  • Can import 1080i from Sony HDR-HC7, but not export it

    I am helping a friend with a Sony HDR-HC7 camcorder that is capable of DV and HDV formats. They have used it without a hitch with DV shot footage on import and export to the camera. They are using iMovie HD 6.0.3. They shot footage in 1080i format and imported and edited it, without incident, but have had no success exporting the edited project back to the camera. We've gone over the in-camera settings, manual in hand a few times, with no success. We have also phoned Sony on two occasions and basically got no help from them. Always using a firewire cable and camcorder mode and connection as when working with DV, but with connection and format settings changed to reflect the format. iMovie acts like it is going through it's paces and exporting, as we are asking it to, but nothing on the camera indicates we are getting anything from the computer, as the friend is used to seeing when they have worked with DV footage - no matter how long we wait or let it go through it's paces.
    Any one with this camera with success exporting it back to the camera with iMovie HD 6.0.3?

    I've got the same exact problem. The most frustrating thing is it worked once...iMovie 06 seemed to recognize the camera and just started capturing the footage. Now I cannot get it to connect for the life of me. I'm in VCR mode, I'm using a 4 to 6 pin firewire cable, ect - so frustrating.

  • Min mediakälla kan inte hittas i version 13 (Sony HDR HC7)

    My video source cant be found in version 13 Sony HDR HC7. It should be supported and is seen i the tuturial view but not in "Import video" menu. Cant update either????

    Premiere Elements 13 on what computer operating system?
    What are you trying to update? There should be nothing to update. There is no update to 13, like 13.1. And, the program should come with Camera Raw 8.6 which I believe is the latest version of Camera Raw.
    Your Sony HDR HC7 appears to be a miniDV camcorder. Premiere Elements 13 no longer offers DV and HDV Capture. Adobe document suggests a workaround if you are interested.

    Please review and consider and then me know if I have targeted the question that you asked.

  • No sound when importing from a Sony HDR-HC7

    Hello all together,
    I bought a new Sony HDR-HC7, the camera is fantastic. There is only one thing perplexing me: When importing HD-Clips into iMovie HD 6.0.3 I cannot hear the sound that was recorded by the camera. When I play the clips, I can hear sound. What could this be?
    With my old Sony TVR 33 (no HDV) I don't have this problem.
    Did I forget any settings?
    Thanks for advices,
    Stefan

    Hi Stfan:
    I guess I would try the easy things first.
    Make certain that " Video Play Through Camera " is
    not enabled in imovie Preferences. That is
    because it sends all audio through the FireWire port
    and mutes it on the computer.
    ake certain your video is 16-bit audio (not 12-bit).
    Once you have imported (and saved) the video into
    imovie, close imovie. Then unplug all firewire
    devices (camera included).
    Relaunch imovie. Is the audio there now?
    Sue
    Hi Sue,
    thank you for your advice. As I use the German version I am not quite sure, if "Video Play Through Camera" is in the third tab of the iMovie-Prefs the fourth checkbox overarm? This one's unenabled. Audio is 16-bit.
    Audio was alwas there in the play-mode but not in the import-mode.

  • Sony HDR HC7 - does it work with FCE 3.5 HD?

    Is the Sony HDR HC7 capable with mac fce 3.5 hd?
    thank you so much.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Yes the HC7 records HDV or standard def DV on MiniDV tape. This material can be captured via firewire (iLink or IE-1394, name it) connection without problem.

  • Will my sony HDR-TD10 work with FCPX

    will my sony HDR-TD10 work with FCPX

    Probably.
    "iMovie supports standard and high definition video, as well as the most popular formats, including DV, HDV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and even AVCHD."
    microMV is recording in MPEG-2.
    Bring your camera to your Apple dealer and try it out.

    Why does my ipad2 no longer receive photos on iMessage? Iphone works perfectly with iMessage photos. Ipad2 used to work fine. Is it an ios8 issue? Help!

    Hello,
    Where may I be able to contact and speak with a prepaid representative? Strictly through phone calls? (I am at work 12 hours a day)
    And I apologize for posting in the wrong area - I saw Apple support so I went here.
    I'm almost certain my phone is the problem. I have gone through resetting the network settings a dozen times on my phone, even did it on my dad's. Now my texts are beginning to do the same when I text my fiance.
    Resetting the network settings DOES work -- the problem is it will work for a day or two or for only a few hours - then I'll have to do it all over again.

  • How can I connect a Sony DCR-PC110 video camera with iMovie and import my videos?

    How can I connect my Sony video camera DCR-PC110 with iMovie in order to import my old videos?

    Hi
    This Camera has three types of ports.
    - Analog-out
    - USB
    - I.Link = FireWire = IEEE1394 = Digital in/out = DV-terminal
    And Your Camera only can send Photos via the USB-connection - NO VIDEO.
    So You Must get a FireWire Cable and eventually a ThunderBolt/FireWire converter Cable to get Import to work.
    There are no real way around this.

  • Sony HDR-HC7 camcorder and PB Ti with IMovie HD

    Hello everyone. Im in the army and I will be deploying soon to Irak. Im looking for a good digital camcorder that will work with my PB. Im running Tiger with IMovie HD . I have been looking at different web sites and one that i like is the sony (nothing particular) HDR-HC7. Now the problem is that it is a high definition camcorder. I really dont know if my PB can handle the format or any software that it will require. Besides I dont know a lot about computers and cameras. The reason for the camera is that it has firewire connection( my PB has usb 1.1), image stabilization and good reviews for low light operations. I am a pilot and I'll doing a lot of flying at night. It also has a remote and good still pictures capabilities. Any advice or other suggestion on a good camera will be appreciated. Im I going to have issues with this particular camcorder? Anyone has this equipment setup? Can anyone suggest a good camcorder in the price range of 1000 dollars that will work with my PB? Please any advice and suggestions will be appreciated.

    Good camcorder. But importing hi-def HDV will be -s-l-o-w- on your PowerBook, and especially on your 400 MHz G4 PowerMac.
    You really do need at least a Dual G5 or a new Intel-powered machine for importing hi-def in real time, and lots of memory (1GB or more).
    Hi-def also uses up much more space on your hard disc than standard-definition 13GB/hour video. So you'll need (a) more space, and (b) more patience!
    When hi-def has been imported and edited the only reasonable means to create a hi-def DVD is to use Apple's (expensive) DVD Studio Pro software, or external software and hardware such as a Blu-Ray burner. (No Macs presently come with these ..and your existing Macs certainly don't have them.)
    So you can shoot in hi-def with the camera ..but using that hi-def material may be problematic.
    HDV isn't too good when you're shooting anything fast-moving (..because of the way the compression works..) so shooting from a pilot's seat in hi-def may give inferior results compared with shooting standard-def! ..It may look a bit sharper, but the detail won't really be there, and it may judder, compared with standard-def.
    For fairly static shots, hi-def is much (about 4x) sharper.
    So, the camera's good, but you may need to upgrade all the rest of your Mac equipment to match the camera's capability if you use its hi-def features. You can, of course, use the camera in standard-def ..but then that defeats the purpose of spending the money on hi-def, doesn't it..?
    NOTE that all miniDV-tape camcorders have a FireWire connection, and so do your two Macs. USB is just for transferring photos, not video. Sony call the FireWire connection either 'DV' or 'i.Link', but it is normal FireWire, nevertheless. You'll also need a separate 4-pin-to-6-pin FireWire/DV/i.Link cable ..Sony doesn't put one in the box with the camcorder ..and I don't think many of the other manufacturers do, either.

  • Sony HDR AX 2000e compatibility w/ iMovie

    Hi,
    I've just been offered a Sony HDR AX 2000e carmcoder and I would like to know if iMovie is enough for simple video editing or if I need to use Final Cut Pro X.
    Cheers,

    If you're using the HC9 in hi-def mode, then you'd want to create a new hi-def HDV project before importing..
    If it's the wrong kind of project, it won't want to import..
    (P.S: My various Sonys, standard and hi-def, are all recognised, in iMHD6 and in iM08. So it's not an innate problem with either the programs or the camcorders..)

  • SONY HDR UX3E - dvd camcorder with usb connection

    does anyone know how to get video out of those new DVD video cameras ?
    First, do those new, mini 8cm dvds go into a PowerBook G4 SuperDrive slot?
    This camera has a usb cord, so i'm plugging that into PowerBook G4 usb port. The volume shows up on my desktop, but clicking on it just brings up various files that I can't see thumbnails of or open with imovie, dvd, or quicktime.
    my previous camcorder used a firewire connectionl. Does anyone have experience with the new SONY HDR UX3E camera and a mac? it is High defintion.
    is there a way to hook camera up with Firewire? my manual doesn't mention it. does anyone have this camera, and use it with a powerBookG4??
    ay help would be appreciated

    WARNING!!!! Never pop in any thing other than a standard size CD/DVD in your slot-loading Macs!
    You will damage your optical drive severely. You can only put those things in a tray-loading optical drive.
    Second, the only connection supported by Macs are FireWire connections for digital video cameras. (Unless something has changed recently, which I don't believe since I am a video editor--not professional--myself in my job).
    The best cameras for Macs are the DV cameras. If you want HD, you can record to mini-DV. The hard drive cameras work too, but it takes multiple steps before you can start editing your video.
    I'm not sure how to extract the video from your DVDs since they are encoded, but I will look for you. (Unless someone answers before I do).
    Check your camera to see if it does have a FireWire connection. Some cameras have both, though Sony tends to use USB 2.0. Theirs would be called "iLink" for the FireWire port.

    **your DVDs have your videos encoded in MPEG-2 format so you need an application that will convert that into .DV or .MOV formats so that you can edit in iMovie or Final Cut. (Or QuickTime). There are many third-party apps for Mac OS X that can do that for you.

  • Sony HDR-XR520VE - iPad 3 with Camera connection kit ; foto- and videoimport

    hello,
    i've problems to import video files from sony hdr-xr520ve to ipad 3.
    pictures can be imported - videos are not detected.
    sony camcorder produce mts or mpg files (hd (AVCHD) or sd).
    I have no mixed sd-/hd files for import.
    itunes on my desktop computer does not detect the video files too.
    is there a way without additional expense to import the videos?
    thank you!

    From iPad technical specisfications...
    "Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format"
    If the video output of your Sony doesn't correspond to these formats it will be necessary to convert those files to a format that iOS does support before you can import them into your iPad.
