How can I import a DVD from a Camcorder onto Final Cut?

Hey Folks,
I have a Sony camcorder and there is no Firewire port or any port where I can upload my footage to my Mac... I was suggested to get Pinnacle... but did anyone run into this similar problem? if so, what was the resolution?
I tried to import the files from my DVD but their all VOB files and so on... so im not sure what's going on or what I need to do - their not .dv
Appreciate your help folks,
my best,
Joey Dee

  • How can I import a dvd and do edit in final cut pro ?

    any software to convert dvd movie into avi for edit ?

    Hi:
    If you own the material rights, you can use MPEG Streamclip to reencode to an editable format like DV.
    Hope that helps !

  • How can I transfer this video from a disc to Final Cut Express?

    There's an empty Audio_TS folder and a Video_TS folder containing VOB, BUP, and IFO files. Please keep in mind, I don't know what any of that means :3
    I tried to use Quicktime but it said they're not video files... but it can play on the dvd player app.
    It's a video my grandma wants me to edit, I have no information about like, how it was shot or anything.
    Hopefully this is an easy issue for anyone who knows anything. Thanks so much for your time!

    You'll need to convert the DVD's VOB files into an editable format that FCE works with natively.  MPEG Streamclip (freeware) can do the conversion, but you'll have to purchase the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component from Apple for it to work properly: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x ($19.99 USD from Apple).  If you iuse MPEG Streamclip, here's a tutorial on how to convert for editing: http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=739
    Or you can use an app like DVDxDV (not freeware).

  • How can I import iMovie HD 6 project files into Final Cut Express HD3?

    Trying to import iMovie HD 6 projects into FCE HD 3 but 2 windows appear:
    Importing XML data
    and below it a
    SAVE window
    If I click SAVE, both windows disappear, a file with nothing in it appears in browser and when try to play it in the viewer, there is just black....
    Is this all because FCE HD 3 won't support iMove HD 6? so I will need to upgrade to FCE HD 4?

    Use File>Import>Files.
    iMovie Projects as a whole do not Import correctly whereas individual clips do but will need the audio rendering to play correctly.

  • How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

    How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
    I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
    Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation.  I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times.  All hard drive will eventually fail.  It's a question of when, not if.
    I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files.  You can try importing these directly into fcp.
    If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
    http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
    or
    Magic Bullet Grinder
    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
    But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy.  HDV is a problematic format.  Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

  • HT4910 how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    how can I import my contacts from my Iphone 5 device to the Icloud?

    To get the contacts from your Hotmail and exchange accounts into iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your external accounts you will need the “Pro” version.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Hotmail and exchange accounts and turn off contacts syncing with with these accounts.  If you don't you will see duplicates of your contacts (one from the external account and one from iCloud).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the external accounts back to your phone, and to iCloud.  Go to icloud.com to confirm they are there.

  • How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

    How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

    Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have  been in the latest update, 4.02.
    In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
    While I can't say for sure  Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.
    regards
    And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

    Time Machine is a back up you have to set up to back up before there is a problem like a hard drive failure.
    It is possible to recover files from a failed drive, but it is an expensive proposition.
    There is a faint hope that an app like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro might repair the drive. You could try making an appointment at an Apple store and ask a technician there to take a look... the diagnosis will not cost you.

  • All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

    I am sorry to be so ignorant, but I am not sure of WHERE to "post" this question:All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

    Do you mean you want to import a photo to the organizer? It's easier if you put the photo where you want to keep it before importing, but just go to File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders and import it. If you move it after importing you  must move it in folder view in the origanizer.
    If you just want to edit the photo, there's no need to import it. Just go to File>Open in the editor.
