Getting the data code infomation from my sony fx1 camera into final cut pro

hi
any help/advice would be great.
i have shot some footage and am capturing it now,ideally i would like a time of day timecode
i dont think the f1 has a timecode on it ,but when i press the data code button it shows the time at recording ,which is perfect for what i need, but when i look at the clip in the browser there is nothing in the media start and end box's.
so my question is ,is there a way to have the data code information (ie time of day it is recorded) shown in fcp?
cheers all
simon

i know i have posted it......
but it has got me bothered as there must be a way to view the data code infomation in fcp and somehow see it in the media in and out like you do in time of day timecode i get from other cameras hoping some clever person will know what i can do or if its not possible at all even though the data code can be read by other mini dv cameras
thanks all for your reply's

Luis,
Just to clarify one point…in order for Streamclip to convert the MTS I believe a plug-in like the AVCCAM QuickTime importer from Panasonic needs to be installed. (Credit David McClain over at the FCS boards for that info.)

Sony EX1 cameras and Final Cut Pro.

Hello Everyone.
Looking to see what kind of video deck I would need to edit with. I might have a project in which a client video some project using the Sony EX1 cameras.
I'm using Final Cut Pro 5.0.4
Any help would be great.
The client is from Canada, and I'm State side.
Thanks
Damon

This camera shoots tapeless...no deck. But the bad news is that your version of FCP doesn't support the format this camera shoots. You need at least FCP 6.

How do i import movies from my iPad (movie cam) into final cut

I have imoported movies from the ipad into Iphoto. I couldn't get any videos to show up in the import browser from Ipad into Aperture. trying to import files directly from iphoto to final cut brings up an error message. exporting the videos from iphoto into another folder got them into final cut but the video doesnt play, the timeline just moves along a still image of the first frame of the video.

It's a bit confusing whether you are using iphoto or aperture as you mention both.
Are the movies still on your iPad? The best way to import would be to do it directly using FCPX. Attach the iPad, fire up FCPX, and import from camera (command-I). You should then see your clips that exist on the iPad and should be able to import them to an Event.

How do I bring Sony F3 footage into Final Cut Pro?

Hi,
Would love some help here.
I know the file are supposed to work well in FCP, however i dont have the plug ins.
I tried to convert the files to pro res 422 using mpeg streamclip, but that didnt work either.
would love some advice,
thanks

The F3 records XDcam to sxs cards?
I believe you need Sony XDCam Transfer 2.12 available here:
https://www.servicesplus.sel.sony.com/sony-software-model-PDZKP1.aspx
Once you install it, in FCP you go to the File > Import menu and choose XDcam. It will launch XDCam transfer and will put the clips in your project.

I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1. Does Sony offer a plug in?

I shoot fishing footage of big catches. Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i. It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab. Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames. Thank you again for your reply.

How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I updated

You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...

I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...

Every time I import an .fcpxml file into Final Cut Pro X, the timeline doesn't get imported

So I had exported an .fcpxml file from one machine, which i had to format. So, after formatting the machine, each time I import the .fcpxml file into Final Cut Pro X, The timeline remains empty

Use MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free software) to convert the media to something like ProRes 422, then import into FCP X.
MPEG Streamclip can cope with many codecs.

Can't capture from my cannon video camera to Final Cut or iMovie.

Hi. I can't capture from my cannon video camera to FInal Cut or iMovie. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. I don't think my iMac is recognizing the camera. I was told I don't need a firewire, that USB would work if I'm just capturing. If I need a firewire what kind (the one I was sold didn't fit). I'm getting an "unable to locate external device message". Not sure of next steps to try. Thanks.

Forget USB for capturing from tape. USB is only for stills from a Tape Based camera.
You require a firewire cable.
The camera connection end will be four pin and the Mac is nine pin to the 800 port.
Ask for a 9 to 4 pin firewire cable. Sounds like you have the wrong one as they can also be 4 to 4 or 4 to 6 pin!!
Also you will need the correct Easy Setup in FCE so FCE talk to the camera, exactly which one depends on what type of footage is being sent to FCE from the camera during capture.

Best way to export from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, working in DV?

I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5, and I would like to get the best quality from anything I bring in from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, I keep hearing use the Animation codec. I would like to hear from the Panel of experts.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Sebastian

The Best way is to round-trip from FCP. Or simply import the .motn file directly into FCP. If you require an alpha channel and for some reason don't want to bring the .motn file in, Animation with millions+ for the colors (+ is the alpha channel) will work, But if you just want straight DV, you should export a DV file.

How can I get MPEG-2 video into Final Cut Pro X?

Hello! I have several MPEG-2 video files on which I need to perform some edits. When I tried to import them into Final Cut Pro, I learned that Final Cut Pro can't import MPEG files. Okay, so I went into QuickTime and exported one as 720p. 20 minutes later, I had a video that I could load in FCP. Awesome. Except that when I watched the video, the audio was waaaaaaaay out of sync. So, is there a different way I could get this MPEG-2 video into a format that FCP will like while keeping video and audio together?
I would keep trying a few different things without direction, but these videos are like 90 minutes long and the conversion process is lengthy.
Thanks!

Although I looked up the equipment, I couldn't find what kind of MPEG2. I'm assuming program stream.
I don't know why you had the sync problem with QT. You could bring it into FCP and detach the audio and manually line it up it's off by a constant amount.
Or you can use MEG Streamclip. You will also need the playback component, which is $20. Follow the instructions on the Squared 5 site to install it. Streamclip is worth having even if you don't use it this time around.
Good luck.
