How do I import footage off a JVC Everio gz-hd7u to Final Cut

I have a JVC Everio gz-hd7u that I hook up to final cut pro and use log and transfer. I select the disk destination and it doesnt see any footage. I also tried with my canon HG10 that I was recently able to transfer footage but cannot now. Does anyone have any ideas of how to do it?
Thank you!

Just browsing & saw this. I've been fighting this for several weeks now. Seems like Quicktime 7.3 recognized the tod files that the Everio creates, but 7.4 doesn't, so consequently, neither does FCP. Creative Cow forums tell me that the best workaround for all this is MPEG Streamclip(free). Apple says it's JVC's problem & vice-versa. I'm taking this camera to China with me in August along with a Macbook pro & hope to do a daily youtube upload to my friends back home. Hope they get this resolved before then. It'll save me alot of render time!

  • JVC Everio HD cam to Final Cut Pro

    Okay, just wanted to post a straight and simple answer to a former topic I came across (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1181725&start=15&tstart=0)
    I was searching tonight for some troubleshooting on this issue as I was trying to get PC-only files off this camera, but everything on the Internet made the transfer more complicated and had people downloading unnecessary garbage to make sure everything converts before using the clips in Final Cut Pro.
    So here's an easy, trouble-free answer I hope will help some people in the future when they're Googling for help on this this issue.
    1) Hook up and turn on camera, make sure it's in Backup mode
    2) Open Final Cut Pro
    3) Under File go to Log and Transfer
    4) Window will open and you will see the camera loading all the clips
    5) Select whatever clips you want and drag them to the queue
    6) They will begin transferring automatically to your browser. *It's important to note it is converting them all to .mov files.*
    There. Easy. Painless. And you don't have to download any components or converters.
    - Matt

    You're referring to a thread that's a year and half old, using an older version of FCE, which did not include log and transfer.

  • How do I Import footage from Premier Pro CS3 to After Effects?

    Hi
    As the subject says, how do I import footage from premier pro cs3 into after effects. I'm getting rather frustrated trying to figure this out.
    Via copy & paste I can copy into after effects but this copys the whole of the track on the timeline, where as I just want 10 seconds copied. The 10 seconds I want to copy is a segment & was highlighted when I clicked copy.
    Also when the full track gets copied, all my edits aren't copied & I get the raw track copied???
    I've googled this, tried the "Add Dynamic Link" but all I want is to copy 10 seconds of footage from premier into after effects, add my effect & then copy it back, and I can't figure out how to do this simple thing
    Any help
    Thanks.

    I am still not getting this.
    I highlight the selection I want to copy into after effects. I copy & paste it & it pastes my entire footage without any off the edits I have made.
    Having searched loads for this I can find no other answer than copy & paste.
    Please please could you guy be more specific with your answers as I just can't figure this one?

  • How do i import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

    How do I import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

  • FCPX: In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?

    In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?
    An example: In Premiere Pro, the whole video is added to the timeline identified as used in their video library. Facilitating our work on a big project, not to repeat videos. You can do this in FCPX?

    The way it works in FCP:
    Working from the Timeline Index, you can see lists of all clips in the sequence and their location in the timeline.
    You can also do a search (kevn) to narrow the results.

    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.)

  • When I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

    when I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

    Because your clip properties do not match your sequence settings.
    It will help a lot if you provide details ...
    FCE Easy Setup
    Sequence settings (vid rate, frame size, compressor)
    Source of your clips (camcorder make/model, etc)
    Clip properties (vid rate, frame size, compressor)

  • How do I import video off a DVD?

    Is there a way to import video from a DVD directly into Final Cut Pro Express or do I need to download another program in order to do so. The DVDs are no copyrighted they are actually DVD I burned myself. If I do need to download another program which is the best/safest?

    MPEG Streamclip (free) coupled with the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component ($19, downloadable from Apple, if you don't already have it).
    If the DVD is standard def, use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to *QuickTime > Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC.* If hidef/widescreen, convert it to QuickTime > Apple Intermediate Codec.

  • Newbie seeks advice on importing to iMovie from JVC Everio

    Hi there,
    While I'm an old hand at the Mac - I really have little experience of AV applications and cams. I am very interested in buying a JVC Everio GZ-MC 500 or MC 200 Digital Media Camera, but just found out that I cannot import movie outputs into iMovie. Since MicroDrive technology seems like the way of the future I'd like to stick to the JVC. Is there any work around to this problem?
    I have iLife 05 with iMovie HD installed and have just downloaded QT7 with Pro upgrade on the way. Does the MPEG 2 component solve this situation?
    Any assistance to this would be a great help.
    Thanks and regards,
    Des

    My experience with microdrives (..incidentally, Clive Sinclair used the name 'Microdrive' for the tape storage devices he sold for his original 1980s home computers ..about 20 feet of videotape wound into an endless loop in a teeny plastic housing, rather like a miniature 8-track cartridge ..they were also used in the ancient British ICL 'One-Per-Desk' under licence from Sinclair: those two slots along the top are microdrive slots.. Oops ..sorry; where was I..?) ..is that they're unreliable. CF cards are better. But how much video can you store on a CF card, and at what price?
    Microdrives need a moment to run up to speed, and constantly starting and stopping them - as I've done with, for instance, a Sony F828 stills camera - I find that the drive gets confused about whether it should be saving or accessing ..and just stops working. Same thing has happened to me with a microdrive in various other devices. So I don't trust them any more. I've used various sizes (340Mb, 1Gb, 2.2Gb) and I always cross my fingers: some have stopped working completely; others have had to be reformatted as DOS, and then formatted as Mac HFS+ ..and I've found them to be more trouble than they promise to be worth. Imagine suddenly losing all your video after you'd just shot about 46 minutes' worth.. Weddings? Argghh! The bride and groom would be so disappointed ..and so would you!
    There are various programs which will read MPEG-2 footage (..including the audio: iMovie will play the video 'natively', but often without the sound..) such as Streamclip. That'll convert MPEG footage into proper QuickTime, which iMovie can handle. So you could connect your microdrive(s) to your Mac, copy the footage, squirt it through Streamclip, then edit it.
    However, be aware that the quality of the footage may not be as high as material recorded with proper miniDV (or Digital-8) tapes because of the nature of the Everio's recording/compressing/storing routine. The specification - on that page mentioned by 'L', above - shows that the Everios record in the same format as DV "NTSC (720x480) 4:2:0 PAL (720x576) 4:2:0" but - not having tried one - I dunno if the final appearance ..once the video's been 'unscrambled' from MPEG-2 format into something iMovie compatible, then saved back to tape or hard disc.. is as good as DV. It might be even better [..HDV hi-def is saved as MPEG-2..] but I couldn't say.
    But DO be careful about microdrives ..ask a few Everio owners before putting down your money and buying one. And how does the price of a microdrive compare with a 60 minute miniDV tape?
    Oh, by the way, I almost forgot: welcome to iMovie Discussions!

    @daguerratype
    The Spatial Conform is one of the things I tried. Unfortunately none of its settings fixed the aspect ratio. When I choose "Fit", it simply shows it as 4:3 and leaves left and right black borders on a 16:9 timeline. When I choose "Fill", it zooms the 4:3 video and chops off the top and bottom parts.
    @Thomas Emmerich
    This is a decent workaround. Fortunately my clips are named in such a way that I can easily drop them all in the timeline and do a Command-F (Find) to search by clip name, highlight all of them in the search results, then use the Inspector to modify the properties of all the clips at once. I have to change X-scale to 133% and Spatial Conform to "Fit", and now at least it fits the 16:9 timeline properly.
    Thanks to both replies. I still hope Apple adds a way to fix the clip in the Event browser so that I don't have to do this workaround.

  • How to load SD files from Canon Vixia HF200 to Imovie or Final Cut???

    I use a card reader and the finder shows a folder "PRIVATE" with several subfolders: AVCHD>BDMV>CLIPINF and Playlist and Stream. It appears that the clips are loaded under the Stream folder as files with .MTS extensions. These files are labeled as MPEG Transport Stream files.
    My question is how I can transfer them to my hardrive so I can load them up and use them in Final Cut and/or Imovie?
    Thanks for any Help!!!

  • How do I continue editing a project from the trial version of final cut pro to the paid version

    I have been working on a project on the trial version of final cut pro x.  I  bought the full version even though my trial wasn't up yet.  When I opened the paid version my projects from the trial are not in there.  I also closed the trial and opening the paid version and my projects were still not there.  How do I get my projects to show in the paid version?

         I have a 'similar' problem, but your advice above does not work (or does not seem to work).  My Trail version of Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 expired before I completed my first/only movie project. 
         I purchased FCP yesterday.  Now I want to "import" the video files and the movie project (not sure if that's the correct terminology - I am still a newbie) into FCP 10.1.1 -  Please advise?

  • Importing Video Files from DVD and the net onto final cut express 4

    2 questions:
    1st: Ive imported a video file downloaded from the net to practice editing, but once I have done that, the video file has no audio? how do I get the audio for those files?
    2nd: I had ripped some video files from my university film project onto my laptop, but I cant Import the files into final cut express to further edit it (because it was a group project), because its the wrong format and stuff. How do I fix this and allow it to be imported?
    Any help is greatly appreciated
    Cheers

    ohk cool, wat about my first problem with the sound not being imported?
    Most likely the file is multiplexed. That means the audio and video are rolled into one. Same thing applies as the other post, the file needs to be in a format that FCE recognizes. Streamclip may do it, depending on the type of file of course.

  • How do I get a burned DVD (the only copy) back into Final Cut to re-edit?

    The project is long over, the files gone. What do I need to do to re-import this into Final Cut, or even i-Movie to do some other editing?

    If you have original DV tapes and the FCE Project File, Capture Project will do it all automatically.
    If not, you will have to convert the Mpeg files on the DVD to one that FCE can work with and bring the converted file to FCE as one clip.
    Search this forum for how to, there's plenty of info here.
