HT5148 I wish to purchase a Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder - will I have any problems with FCPX

It is my intention to buy a new camcorder and am thinking of a Panasonic HDC-TM900 but I have read is some of the reviews that there are some problems in downloading into FCPX.  Is this camera a good purchase or is there a better alternative at around £650. (in uS dollars I would guess at about $1000)

I have a similar model and it works OK with FCP X.
HDC-SDT750.
Top camera to use.

  • How do you download SDHC files from Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder to a MAC

    i bought a panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder.  when i try to download files from the SDHC memory card, i only see
    a still photo and it appears i cannot download files onto my MAC.  the manual for this camcorder tells me that
    i cannot download files from a SDHC memory card except onto a PC.  however i am in a remote area and i do
    not have access to a PC--only a MAC laptop.

    I am also new to Firefox. From Firefox start screen click the add-ons icon. In the search box at top right type in " music downloads " and click the magnifying glass - many options will appear by clicking on the blue " more " of each option you will receive additional info. Hope this helps, I have used the Flash Video Downloader add-on with great results.

  • I purchased an iPhone 5S using my EDGE upgrade on September 5, but would like to exchange it for an iPhone 6 within the 14 day period. Other than having to pay the $35 restocking fee, will I have any problems doing so? Thanks

  • Any body know why FCPX doesn't support footage recorded in 1080-60P form Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder?, Any body know why FCPX doesn't support footage recorded in 1080-60P form Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder?

    Anybody know why FCPX  doesn't support footage recorded in 1080-60p form Panasonic Camcorder HDC-TM900???

    I'm trying to decide on a new camcorder between the new yet to be released Panasonic HD-X900M and the Canon VIXIA HF G10.  Currently have a Canon HV 20 which works great, but thought I'd upgrade to newer tech.  Looking at the supported cameras list published by Apple, the newer Panasonic hasn't been tested yet so am unsure if it is the same as the previous model.  I suspect it is.  The newer Canon appears to be good, but spec. say it is only good up to 1080I.  I'd rather have the progressive camera if it isn't that much of a hassle to convert the files.
    Thanks for alll your info on this subject.

  • Re: Can you import 1080 60P material in Elements 11, as an example from a Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder?

    It is not about a slow computer (míne is new and fast) or an apple computer (I use windows 8) but it's about video quality and editing usability. Down under are the specifications of my camera, you can see the panasonic has different options and the MOV 50p had better quality (because of the higher bitrate), it is easier to use then the highly compressed AVCHD with video editing and I can use it also on a MAC (if I would like to). That is because I use MOV (and professionals like it too). So I need a MOV 50P setting and nog the AVCHD setting (I already installed the AVCHD setting as described above). It is true the panasocic is new and it is not very common in the consumer market to use MOV (most camcorders use AVCHD indead) and most DSLR don't have the 50p resolution yet it is still rare these days.
    I hope there is anybody with a solution (I wish someone good give me a MOV 50p setting for PE11 and I'm happy!)
    these are the video specifications of the Panasonic GH3
    MOV (H.264) resolution, frame and bit rates

    I will continue at a new discussions (because originally it's about panasonic 60p and that is indeed AVCHD like most camcorders and that solutions works):

    One of the beauties of Non Linear Editors is that at final output rendering, it goes to the source.  It is not rendered twice.
    The single most confusing subject I've run into trying to learn editing is how this works.  Here is what I think happens.
    First, you have to have a project setting that accepts your source files so that you can work in real time preview with smoothness.  The computer is doing "real time project rendering" for preview.  So, if Ann's suggestion works during the editing process, you're fine.  In other words, you may not NEED an exact match between your source footage and your project preset.  Let PrE pick the best it can when you slide the first clip to the timeline.
    Second, when it is time to make your final product(s), you set the "output render" or "transcode" setting in the Share+Publish area.  You might need something optimized for YouTube, an iPhone or Hollywood.  The editing software then looks at what you have been doing in real time, goes to all the markers and transitions you have set and makes an entirely new file, the "video", by reading from your 50Mbps source files. 
    Somewhere here there is a long post from an Adobe tech who tried to explain it to me.  He emphasized that there was some relationship between the project setting and the output files, but the most important part was the output settings.
    In the Share+Publish section there are a lot of presets.  For some you can change the frame rate and bit rate.  You should find something pretty close.
    Your GH3 is so new, I've read little about it.  A 50 Mbps rate is twice what we've had at the consumer level for the last few years.  Have fun with that camera!

  • I purchased a Mota Battery case and protection for my iPhone 4s,  will I encounter any problems with this new device?

    I currently have an iPhone 4s with an otterbox cover which provides excellent protection for my iPhone.  I am an electrician and the environment my phone can be exposed to at times can be hostile at times.  Do you know of and Otterbox which would accommodate your product purchased by me with Package ID 6629239.  I still have product in box and am curious as to what type of protection I can receive for my phone.  Any suggestions.  Have you teamed up with otttebox to make a cover which would be compatible to the current cover being sold by them?
    Thank you,
    Tom Quesada
    This is the email I sent them concerning the case, my question applies  to you all as well.  Another question I had was concerning the battery and any interference it may have with any apps or actions taken by using my iPhone.  Any suggestions or past experiences would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Tom Quesda

    Hopefully you contacted Otterbox directly.
    Take a look at Mophie devices as well, they provide some nice battery cases for iPhones (and other devices) and have a line that provides similar protection to Ottterboxes.

  • Panasonic HDC-TM900 with iMovie

    Hello,
    I purchased recently a Panasonic HDC-TM900 and, although I can import and edit the footage in iMovie '09, the quality of the DVD created is pretty poor. Is there any way to get HD quality on a DVD? What can I use?
    I had an older Sony Digital8 and was using iMovieHD. I was hoping that with the new camera I would get a better quality.
    Any input is much appreciated.

    Hi
    iMovie '09, the quality of the DVD created is pretty poor. Is there any way to get HD quality on a DVD?
    No this doesn't give a better result.
    A. There are no HD-DVD at all (just academic and needs special Toshiba player to be viewed). DVD is as Standard SD-Video
    B. iMovie'08 to 11 - is not the tool to use as they discard every second line in Export to iDVD (What ever way used - no 100% work around)
    Better is to use iMovie up to HD6 or FinalCut as they deliver full interlaced video to iDVD and 100% quality.

  • What is the best way to transfer video from a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder on to a DVD using iDVD?

    I am trying to get my Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder to transfer video over to a DVD using iDVD.  The iDVD wants the firewire connection to be used,  No mini USB to firewire line exists.  Any help?

    iDVD is part of the iLife suite of apps.
    in this collection, iMovie is the 'importer', esp. via usb from AVCHD-devices like yours.
    plus editor, I mostly doubt, you haven't to 'clean' here&there your recordings
    from there you 'share' to iDVD.
    you'll notice a loss of quality in this process due to  cam is HDef, any videoDVD is always SDef .....

  • Importing AVCHD Files From a Panasonic HDC-HS9 Camcorder

    I have FCE 4.0 and iMovie '08. When I try to import from my Panasonic camcorder, I get the thumbnail, but when I try to import the video file, both programs crash. I have used VoltaicHD successsfully, but I would like to avoid the intermediate step if possible. Does anyone have any experience with this camera. I have tried different camera resolutions, all with the same negative result.
    Jim

    After searching the internet I ended up buying VoltaicHD for $30 by downloading it from the "Shedworx" website. The way it works is: you attach the HDC-SD9 to your MAC with the supplied USB cable. The HDD and SD card will show up on your desktop. If you open each one, you'll find a file called "Stream" which will contain all of your video clips. Drag and drop each file to the Voltaic window and start the decompression process by simply hitting start. Tell Voltaic where you want the files to be stored on your computer and then be very patient, because the process can take a long time. But it does work. The MTS files in your camera are converted to Quicktime files which can be imported to Final Cut or iMovie. It's time consuming, but you do get HD files out of the process, although the audio is only stereo and not 5.1 surround sound.

  • I'm having trouble downloading video from my Panasonic HDC/TM900

    I'm having trouble downloading video from my Panasonic HDC/TM900. It seems it is designed to work with PC's.
    Can anyone help with this?

    If you have not done so already, I recommend updating Final Cut Pro X to 10.0.5.
    And if that doesn't work, download the following applicaton (FREE) and use it to convert your footage to Apple ProRes, or another compatible video coded/format...
    Free MTS M2TS Converter
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/free-mts-m2ts-converter/id517643843?mt=12
    Also, I recommend installing the PERIAN QuickTime extension (FREE) on your computer...

  • AVCCAM Importer with FCPX and Panasonic HDC-TM900

    Has anyone tried the new AVCCAM Importer from Panasonic with Final Cut Pro X and a Panasonic HDC-TM900 with 1080p video?
    I have just started reading all of the posts on issues with TM900 and Final Cut Pro X with 1080p video and was hoping the new plugin from Panasonic may have helped!
    My concern is the download only references Final Cut Pro and Quicktime 7.
    https://eww.pass.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/desk/e/avc_download.htm#avccamvm ac
    I have a 2011 MacBook Pro which has Quicktime 10 and was hoping to buy FCPX but won't if I can't import my video properly.
    I was even willing to go through a conversion process but in looking at all of the board posts, it seems that for the Panasonic TM900 with 1080p video, there are not any programs that will convert properly, i.e. one puts a green screen every second or there is video artifacts.
    If the new plugin "AVCCAM Importer" does not help with the TM900 / 1080p video in FCPX, what alternatives do I have to edit HD 1080p video on my Mac??
    Is there a conversion tool that has fixed the issues mentioned above or is there another video editor that will import the .mts files natively?
    I don't want to go back to my PC if I can help it and I don't plan on making a feature film, just editing home videos onto Blue-ray as I used to do on my PC with Pinnacle Studio.
    Appreciate the feedback!!

  • MBP doesn't recognize Panasonic HDC-TM900

    My MBP doesn't recognize Panasonic HDC-TM900 videocamera. I tried to connect both devices through an USB cable, but the camera is not recognized by the computer, no trace of the camera in System Profiler or Disk Utility. What should I do to solve this problem? Any tip welcomed.

    It's very possible that the card was not formatted properly inside the camera or you are recording in 1080p60 (or 50) and your editing software does not recognize that format.
    I hope that makes sense

  • IDVD and Panasonic HDC-HS200 Camcorder

    I have just bought a Panasonic HDC-HS200 camcorder and recorded some clips of the kids, transferred it to iMovie09, edited it and shared via iDVD, then burned a DVD - however when I play the DVD there are a small portion, on both right and left side missing - it fills up the TV screen, however something is missing - can anyone help

    sounds like you messed up the settings somewhere along the line ... but as I noted, this is not an iMovie or iDVD forum so who the heck knows what setting it was and where to look to fix it? unfortunately I don't ... anyone got some iDVD / iMovie skills and want to help our poster?
    perhaps try posting in the right forum?
