    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • I run Final Cut Express 4.0.1; I shoot with a Sony HDR-CX260V. How do I import from the camera directly to Final Cut, without having to go through the intermediate step of using iMovie?

    I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1; I shoot with a Sony HDR-CX260V.
    How do I import from camera to Final Cut without going through the intermediate step of using iMovie?

    If you shoot in one of the following modes you should be able to Log & Transfer directly into FCE:
    HD:  1920x1080/60i (FX or FH mode)
    HD:  1440x1080/60i (HQ or LP mode)
    SD:  720x480/60i
    1080/60p (PS mode) seems to be the default mode in your camcorder.  FCE only supports progressive video in 720p50 or 720p60.   That's probably why you have had to import via iMovie.
    It would be better to upgrade to Final Cut Pro X, the version currently supported.  FCE was discontinued over 18 months ago and is not supported on Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Transfer of mini-DV tapes from Panasonic NV-GS120 to MacBook Pro via FireWire port (9-pin)

    I am new to Mac and love it. I would like to transfer my old mini-DV tapes from Panasonic NV-GS120 to my MacBook Pro via FireWire port (9-pin), but am not sure which port to use on the video camera. Reading from the top on the Panasonic video camera there are three options: a "mini-usb" port, a "remote/mic (plug in power)" [not likely] and finally a "A/V out phones" jack entry [which I use for viewing the tapes on the TV screen via the jack cable ending up in a red, yellow and white cable to plug into TV.
    I have read Bengt Wärleby's excellent instructions and am ready to buy the FireWire cable (9-pin in one end - Mac), but I am not sure if it is the mini-usb or jack-stick exit of the video camera. Or, indeed, if there is talk about an external A/V box needed to decode and transfer the digital tapes to iMovie on the Mac.
    Any clarification is highly appreciated. Thanks for all suggestions.

    The port you're looking for is the DV Port (in your manual it's marked as control component #55). I looked up your camera and it does have it. That's the port where the firewire should fit. Hope to have helped you.

  • How do I import from Canon XM2 Final Cut Pro X on a MacBook Pro?

    How do I import from a Canon XM2 to MacBook Air using Final Cut Pro X or iMovie 11 please?

    This is a miniDV camcorder. For this camcorder you must use Firewire.
    If your MBP has Firewire 800, you need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
    The camera must be plugged into wall power, not batteries only.
    Set the camera to Play, and iMovie should recognize the camera and an import screen should appear.

  • How do i import from my Aperture 3 to 3.5.1 as Aperture 3 says it needs to be upgraded which i have done but still cannot open my photographs.

    how do i import from my Aperture 3 to 3.5.1 as Aperture 3 says it needs to be upgraded to 3.5.1 which I have done but i still cannot see any photographers.

    how do i import from my Aperture 3 to 3.5.1 as Aperture 3 says it needs to be upgraded to 3.5.1 which I have done but i still cannot see any photographers.
    Are you trying to import an older Aperture 3 library? Or do you just want to open your old library in Aperture 3.5.1?
    In any case the Aperture library needs to be upgraded, not the Aperture application. Double-click your old Aperture library to open it in Aperture. Then Aperture will upgrade the library, so it can be opened in Aperture  and you can can browse it.
    Since upgrading your Aperture library to Aperture 3.5.1 will require a major rebuilding the library in a new format be sure to make a backup copy of your library before doing this, just to be safe.

  • How to run import from Unix Oracle 8.0.5 database with Windows Oracle client?

    How to run import from Unix Oracle 8.0.5 database via network with Windows Oracle client? Is it possible? When I try to do it Oracle client just hangs... If not which ones are compatible Aix or Solaris to Unix or it must be a Unix client to connect to Unix Oracle database. Thank's for any help.

    Hi,
    In our project we are using this type. Since in this project server in UNIX(DEC) and client is running on windows. We have created a listener which always listen requests from client and doing the according to the request.
    Step1. create a request table, where u are inserting ur request.
    step2. create PRO*C proram, which is listening request on the table. If there is any request, call the imp (executable). This is happening on server side.
    Benifit. U can make a request from cleint and ftp the file client sit.
    Are u interested in more details and code, pls send a mail to me

  • How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    How do I import from Photoshop elements 12 to Lightroom for Mac OS?

    I never did it from Windows to Mac.
    I assume you need to move everything to Mac PSE12 (or PSE 13) by downloading the 30 day free trial of PSE 12 or 13, and then once everything is working, use File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog in Lightroom. Your tags and albums will remain intact. I believe the face recognition transfers as well to keywords, but the location in the photo of the face will be gone as Lightroom has no such feature.

    How to load software from a small sized CD on MacBook Pro?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The disc drive of the MacBook Pro does not support mini CDs, so you need to get an external DVD drive that supports mini CDs. After connecting it, insert the mini CD and install the application you want.
    If you have got another PC with a DVD drive, you can use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
