Imovie08 does not recognize panasonic pv-gs36 tape based minicam

My video camera is connected via firewire 400,turned on in vcr or play mode nothing happens.
If I connect via usb iphoto sees the camera but imovie does not.The firewire cable is new but not an apple cable.Please any advice would be great.
Thanks

I've got a similar problem. I connect my Canon ZR40 (MiniDV) via Firewire. Camera shows up in the "Tree" under "About this MiniMac", but when I open iMovie 08 and want to import from the camera, it says "no camera connected".
Is my camera to old?

  • FCE V4 does not recognize Panasonic  SDR-H20 Camera connected via USB

    I've just got FCE V4 and connected it to my imac and started using FCE V4. FCE says it cant locate my video camera 'Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)'. I chose DV-NTSC in the Easy Setup because that was the default and I don't know what else to choose. I don't have a firewire cable, just the USB. The camera is recognized okay by iMovie. Does anyone know whether I need to:
    1. Get a firewire cable and connect that to the camcorder and imac
    2. Choose something other than DV-NTSC in 'Easy Setup'
    or if this camera SDR-H20 Video Camera does not work with FCE?
    Many thanks in advance
    Peg

    This camera will not work directly with FCE.
    FCE needs TAPE cameras shooting DV or HDV.
    The only other types of cameras that will work are those shooting AVCHD (High Definition).
    You will have to download the video files and convert them to DV with something like MPEG Streamclip:-

  • Panasonic Plasma TV does not recognize MBP

    When I connect my MBP using HDMI to DVI to the TV, the MBP recognizes the Panasonic as an external display, but it seems the TV does not recognize the MBP. Same problem with PC connection as well. Can anyone help with other settings or is there a compatibility issue?
    MBP works fine with LCD projectors.
    Thanks!

    I've got a Panasonic Plasma and it behaves fine ...
    In System Preferences/Displays/Panasonic TV click Options and make sure 'Overscan' is checked, then set the other Display options as shown below.
    If this doesn't work I'd suspect there's something wrong with the TV itself

  • Lightroom says that I have the latest version, but Lightroom does not recognize RAW captures from my new Panasonic DMC-GH4. When will an update for this camera be available?

    Lightroom says that I have the latest version, but Lightroom does not recognize RAW captures from my new Panasonic DMC-GH4. When will an update for this camera be available?

    The GH4 must be very new as it’s not listed in Adobe’s supported cameras, so wait until the next version of LR.  Usually there is one every 3-4 months with a release-candidate available at Adobe Labs before that:  http://labs.adobe.com/

  • IMovie (and iMac) does not recognize device(s)

    Hello and thanks for reading.  I know this topic is like beating a dead horse but this one is unique.  I'm a professional editor and I couldn't figure this out so any help would be appreciated.  Here's the play by play:
    I edit using FCP 5.1.4 and have for years.  I've had the same set up running for years and do high volume editing.
    I have a chain of 4 Lacie drives, all connected by firewire.
    At the end of that string, I have my tape player for capturing footage, a Sony GV-HD700, which then goes on to the TVs, DVD players, etc.
    Also the end of that string, I also have a disc burner for making DVDs.
    So it goes: iMac > Lacie #1 > Lacie #2 > Lacie #3 > Lacie #4 > Sony tape player & DVD burner > TVs, VCRs, etc.
    Yesterday, I was in a rush and the DVD burner was going slow so I unplugged it from the end of the string of Lacie drives and plugged it directly into the back of the computer to see if it would burn faster.
    It didn't, so I plugged it back into the end of the Lacie string.
    At that point, Lacie #4 became unrecognizable to the computer and therefore so was the tape player, which is further down the chain.
    When I plugged the tape player high up the chain, into Lacie #3, it still was not recognized.
    I plugged the tape player (Sony GV-HD700) directly into the back of the computer...still not recognized.
    I took the Sony GV-HD700 into our other editing bay and it was still not recognized.
    I pulled out my camera (Sony HDR-FX1000) and plugged it directly into the back of the original computer...recognized just fine.
    I plugged Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into the back of Lacie #2...recognized just fine.
    I took the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into our other editing bay...recognized just fine.
    I have a big deadline so I said "Screw it." and was just going to capture from the camera for the time being.
    I reset the Lacie drive chain, plugged the Camera into the back of Lacie #4 (just like the original setup) and BANG: Lacie #4 and the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera was not recognized.
    I plugged the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera directly into the back of the computer...still not recognized.
    I took the Sony HDR-FX1000 camera into our other editing bay...still not recognized.
    I thought it might be a Final Cut Pro issue so I pulled up iMovie and it does not recognize any device connected to the computer even though I'm looking directly at it plugged in.
    The entire iMac has lost the ability to recognize devices that I've used for years.  I've now lost the ability to capture footage and I'm running out of time.  It's almost as if the devices were getting infected by one of the Lacie drives (I think Lacie #4).  Is that even possible?  Has anyone ever heard of something like this?  I don't know if it's something I need to change on the iMac to recognize them again, or if it's a setting on the device to reset the connection, or if somehow the Lacie drive corrupted the devices and made them unrecognizable to iMacs.
    It's very, very weird.
    Thanks for your help.
    27" iMac (2009)
    OS X 10.8.5
    Final Cut Pro 5.1.4
    Tape player: Sony GV-HD700
    Camera: Sony HDR-FX1000
    I've had this setup for years so I don't know what type firewire it is.

  • CS4 does not recognize some DNGs

    My Panasonic GK2 creates raw files as RW2. I use (on my Mac) LightRoom 3.6 to import, convert to DNG and develop the files.
    Photoshop CS4 Camera Raw 5.0 for Mac had been processing these without a problem. As of about 30 h. ago, it appears that my system no longer recognizes this format. DNG's from my Panasonic camera are greyed-out in Finder. In Adobe Bridge CS4 preview pane they are displayed with the DNG icon.
    Please advise if update for Camera Raw is available, and if you think that might solve thie issue.
    OTOH, believe I now have a viable work-around: after editing in LightRoom, export to PSD for further exiting in PS-CS4.

    OK thanks, Station_two; I'm currently on a much older version of ACR. Downloading now.
    See answer to next post regarding current results.
    I used to see occasional update links automatically served, I believe, but could just as well be thiniking of other products. Surprised these do not come to us automatically.
    ============= Updated Posting ==============
    Mac OSX 10.8.3 is not happy with the file just downloaded, Camera_Raw_5_7.zip.
    Zip archive contains two files, Camera Raw.plugin ("Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."), and cameraprofiles.mpkg ("...can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers").
    I might be able to set back my preferences to allow the second to be installed, if that is the correct procedure. What do you think?
    Not sure I mentioned this but I am still able process all DNGs using the Development tab of Lightroom 3. From there I can easily export to PSD for further editing in PS when needed. Also found that LR has a good print routine.
    Still, a bit of a mystery why SOME of the Panasonic DNGs can be opened and others, of similar vintage, cannot.

  • Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) HELP!

    Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) and requires the password to do anything. Everytime I go onto the ICloud  page it shows my old email and requires the password, but I can't exactly type in a password because that won't work. I can't find a way to change my email or delete ICloud.

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • Imovie 4 does not recognize my Sony Handycam DCR-TRV310 so I can't import.

    I have used this camera before with out problems but must have been imovie 2.
    The program does not recognize the camara. I have unpluged and plugged and restarted and done everything that I have read to do but still nothing. help

    I have gone through the steps of this article. I am connected by firewire. I have disconected, recontected, turn on and off and restarted and nothing. I have made sure the date and time are correct. I did upload this tape from at old VHS tape of family pictures. This handycam wasn't a problem with older imovie versions and older systems 9. When I go to the sony site they only talk about connecting to a pc. When I go to apple profiler and fire wire is just says "
    Fire Wire bus: Max speeed up to 400 Mb/sec" It does not recognize the camara. The only thing that I have not done is go buy a new firewire cord but I am worried that imovie can't recongnize the camara. Thanks for the help

  • PE 11 does not recognize Sony HDR FX1000

    Windows 8.1 recognizes the camera attasched via Firewire, but PE 11 does not recognize it.   Menu setting on camera is automatic and iLink out.

    Continuing saga on quality of rendered project when burning to Blu-ray.
    When I play back my video through my 65inch HD TV being fed directly from the Sony HDR FX-1000 the video looks HD quality.  I import the files inot my project from the camera as HDV 1080i 29fps (as recorded) frame size 1440 x1080, HD Anamorphic (1.333)
    Field Order--- Upper Field First followed by Reverse Field Dominance.  PE 11 then codecs and saves the files to MPEG2.   When I finish editing.... I select Blu-ray and then burn the disc.  The quality is less than than the playback of the raw footage on HD TV.  Seems to loose quality from the raw tape footage.   If you really want to say poor quality.... try to burn that saved peoject as a regular DVD,,,, I did that for a relative because they did not have a Blu-ray DVD player.
    My computer has no problems rendering.

  • Siri does not recognize commands

    Siri does not recognize simple commands like dial harold home.
    Is there anything I need to do to make siri recognize my voice.

    Have you tried telling Siri: "Remember that [contact name] is my son?"
    Have you tried adding him to YOUR contact? To do so, open the Contacts app, and select the contact for yourself. Tap Edit in the upper right. Scroll to the bottom and tap Add Field. I think there should be a field for "Relationship" or something to that effect, from which you can enter "Son" and enter his contact.
