Import of a high definition camera JVC for iMovie is that possible?

GZ-HD7U JVC is my digital HDD camcoder. I can import video by firewire cable?
When it does, does not appear any image. This camera is not on the list of cameras compatible with iMovie, but is recognized by the program. In spite of achieving import the recorded files in the camera for Mac by USB port, open in quick time and export in DV for iMovie for editing, but I would like to write directly into the Mac by firewire port, but I can not. The program does not read any image by firewire. Someone could help?

Hello again,
I apologize for not checking the spelling.
Anyway, just looking for any advice to make a High Definition Photo Slide Show. I will buy more software if I have to. However, I cannot see that Final Cut will let me do this either.
Merry Christmas Everyone.
Craig
I have a nice collection of professional quality photos. These 8 megapixel images and are 2000 line plus resolution. When I use these for a screen saver on my iBook the detail is fantastic.
I have made a nice DVD using iMovie and iDVD. It looks pretty good. But the resolution is not that high. I understand that iMovie reduces the resolution on slideshows since it know the photos will be shown on a TV.
I have tried making the same DVD from the beginning using the 720p and 1080i settings in iMovie and then import into iDVD.
The final DVD is recognized by the high end DVD player as a 1080i format. However, the slideshow look not better than standard resolution. And I have tried all the various TV connectors (component, composite, HDMI, DVI, coaxial, etc). No difference.
I would appreciate any input.
Do I need to buy Final Cut Express to get a true 1280 line photo slideshow.
Thank you in advance.

  • Sony Hybrid High Definition Camera

    I bought a new high definition camera by sony. I could not read either the standard or high definition files with imovie so I purchased final cut which is suppose to read AVCHD files. I still can't read them at all. Are sony files proprietary format? Do I need some kind of converter? It does not recognize my camera at all (only USB connection available - no firewire port as the camera has an internal hard drive as well as mini DVD) so I have to copy the files from my windows PC onto a flash drive and to my mac. Still can't read files (doesn't recognize format)
    Any suggestions?

    Did you open the Log and Transfer window or the Log and Capture window? FCP will only see a camera connected via Firewire in Log and Capture. But AVCHD and P2 formats can connect via USB and be viewed in the Log and Transfer window.
    If you copy the files to the harddrive first, you have to copy the entire contents of the camera drive because there is a file structure directory that must be maintained in order for FCP to see the files and convert them to .mov

  • OT - Opteka High Definition Slide Duplicator for Canon Digital Cameras

    I was on Amazon today and I noticed an Opteka High Definition Slide Duplicator Slide Copier, Model: SLD-A620 (to fit my Canon A620). It is also possible to buy one to fit my husband's Canon G5. Price range is about $60.
    We do not have a slide scanner (just an Epson 3170 Photo flatbed scanner), so this caught my attention. I did not realize that slide duplicators existed for Canon Powershot cameras. Does anyone have any experience with the Opteka products ? Is this worthwhile and if yes, should we use the G5 or the A620?
    Barb O

    I haven't used it myself, Barb, but I hear good things about the Opteka.
    Which camera do you prefer for normal shooting? That's the one I'd use. (I love my A620.)

  • Conexant High-Definition Audio Driver for Windows 7

    I have been trying to find a driver which will work with my new Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installation, but I haven't had any luck.
    My laptop specs are:
    Brand: HP Pavilion DV6208nr
    Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57 (1.9 GHz)
    Graphics Card / Motherboard: NVIDIA GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M
    RAM: 2.0 GB DDR
    The audio device:
    Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221
    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5051&SUBSYS_103C30CF&REV_1000
    The original OS that came installed on the laptop was Vista Home Premium x64, and I later upgraded to the Ultimate x64 edition.  I managed to find drivers that work in Windows 7 for everything except for the audio device and the quick launch buttons. (the graphics display driver was the hardest to find until now).  I already tried the vista drivers as well as a driver update from microsoft updater, but they both failed.
    Edit: I uninstalled and reinstalled the vista drivers and the device appears to be working now.  I'm not sure what went wrong the first time.  Maybe it was the update from Microsoft that crashed it.  There wasn't any problems in device manager with the audio until after the update.
    However, if there are some drivers specifically designed to work with Windows 7 I'd still like to have them.  I guess I'll make a post for the quick launch buttons in the proper forum.
    Thanks.

  • High Definition Screensaver Art for AppleTV

    I'm looking for high definition images/artwork ready formatted for AppleTV.
    Essentially, I'm looking to use the AppleTV screensaver to transform my HDTV into a rotating gallery of great images - great background for my next party.
    No sound required.
    There used to be a company that did exactly this for Windows PCs and certain TVs (www.galleryplayer.com) but they went out of business a few months ago.
    Anybody got any ideas?
    I'm prepared to pay for the high quality images - not expecting them for free.
    Thanks,
    SM

  • Opinion on High Definition Camera?

    I'm thinking about upgrading from Digital8 to HD. What should I be looking for when editing with Final Cut?
    Additionally, how much hard drive space does an hour of HD video take?
    Thanks for your advice

    I hear that the HV20 is THE low end HDV camera to get.
    BUT...Canon cameras are notorious for not wanting to work with FCP. Most the people who get these cameras capture the footage with capture cards, like the Decklink Intensity...but then you need a MacPro tower. I have heard some success stories with this camera...so...
    And it is the one I want to get...IF I go HDV. For family videos that would be the one I'd recommend. Yes...better than the Elura....by a lot.

    You can use a GMail address to set up an Apple ID (you have to use a non-Apple address for this) and then use that to sign into iCloud. However iCloud only handles its own addresses - [email protected] - and you can't use it with any other email address.

  • How to import 4K files from new camera JVC GY-HMQ10E in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 ?

    Importing in RED format or other ?

    I have used a MacMini to download the 4K content (only short clips were willing to download sofar), and then transferred to a PC I was able to get it to play in RED schemes in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
    I am just not sure if this is the right way of doing it.
    My current concern for anyone with experience with this camcorder:
    How can we download/combine from the 4 SD cards the longer clips too on Windows?
    I saw a utility but had some extra requirements that I couldn't figure out yet.
    On my MacMini only the short clips were willing to download.

  • High Definition Video glitch (for youtube, movies and games cgi animation)

    Hi all. I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L745.
    I'm using windows 7 32x. I realized that whenever I watched HD video whether on Youtube, movies or in game animation, the video will have glitches and most of the time making the laptop become slower to response. I have already reboot using the pre-install OS and used the "reboot to factory setting" option (or something like that.) But the problem still exists and it annoys me very much. Can anyone tell me what is wrong n what i should do? 

    Come on...is there really no one who can help me? This happens after I reformatted my laptop using the pre-installed OS...please help me...or maybe Im thinking of smashing my Laptop...

  • AVCHD / "Advanced Video Codec High Definition" & Cheap cams & Linux?

    Hi!
    A customer of mine seems to have his mind set on the general awesomeness of the "Advanced Video Codec High Definition". I can't seem to understand why anyone would want to have a multi-track video editor work with that random assortment of specs - at least as long as it's coming from a (relatively) cheap cam...
    So my first impression: "The cam costs significantly less than 20000$ and therefore the video quality can't really get noticeable worse if one just converts the video files with ffmpeg to whatever '60 minutes of video per CD' format it sees fits".
    Am I wrong / missing the point? Do you have any experience with "Advanced Video Codec High Definition" cams & archlinux / gnu software etc that should concern me?
    Thanks!

    So... does that mean, that usually the cams just encode with one of those "generic-jpeg-intel-codecs"  (or don't compress at all) and the client-side software (that isn't used on a linux platform anyway) or something else does the rest? Or what would be a realistic / common scenario?
    Also: for someone who didn't pay much attention to "video standards" in the past, just to understand the general principle... which one of the following two is closer to "the truth"?
    (a) To ensure high video quality, it needs to be taken care of that in every step between the camera recording the raw video and burning the finished / rendered "movie" onto a portable medium, the software & hardware is capable of working with the advantages of "AVCHD".
    or
    (b) Someone obviously has been going around putting AVCHD-stickers on random objects and telling people to buy only those. If one just ignores those stickers, everything should be just fine.
    And finally: Does anyone have a cam that says its "AVCHD" and used kdenlive or something & other open software to do a DVD of some sort? Was everything in between manageable with a "normal modern desktop pc" (no highend hardware)?
    It seems to me like you are looking for some documentations so go there http://www.vcodex.com/h264overview.html and skip to the section 4 "h264 in practice"
    Basically h264 advantage is for the same video quality, your clip takes much less space (or for the same space it will have better quality). But it will need more power to decode/encode.
    Even a "low-end" camera like for example the Panasonic Lumix TZ7 (one of the best compact I think) offers 9Mbps, 13Mbps or 17Mbps when you record AVCHD. With those bitrates a "generic-jpeg-intel-codecs" will be okay. (actually the generic-jpeg-intel-codecs on the cam is a dedicated Digital Signal Processing chip aka DSP chip)
    proposition (a) everything capable of working with AVC/h264 can work with AVCHD, it's just a marketing name, there is no special features.
    Ensuring high quality is another beast, online guides and common sense help: the less you convert (colorspace for example) or reencode, the less information you will lose.
    (b) AVCHD just means the cam can record in h264 instead of DV or Motion Jpeg.
    For your final point, beyond a bitrate of 3Mbps dual-core Core 2 Duo CPU feels really sluggish when encoding to h264 but they are good enough to encode to dvd/mpeg2 format. I can't say about kdenlive/openshot/cinelerra and other NLE though, but every open source NLE can work with AVC-HD (via gstreamer or ffmpeg).
    Like Gusar asked, it would be great if you can tell us your workflow.

  • Is a high definition DVD burner available for Mac's?

    I have a HD camcorder (Canon XHA1) and am using Final Cut express HD. I have been very disappointed in the results I have obtained when burning my Final Cut projects to a standard DVD.(After finishing my FCE project, I use IDVD to produce a disc image, then burn to a standard 4.7 GB Sony or Verbatim DVD-R) Many of my clients now have blu ray players and high def TV's and want their videos in high definition. Is a high definition burner available for a mac pro so that I can burn high definition discs?

    Thanks Tom for the link. However, I noticed when reading through the info about this blu-ray drive that it made no mention of being compatible with Final Cut Express HD or IDVD which is what I am currently using. I had considered upgrading to Final Cut Studio but it sounds like this drive is only compatible when used with Adobe Premiere Pro and Encore CS4. I am no techie, so pardon my ignorance about all this. Is Toast a "replacement" for IDVD? Could I use FCExpress (or FC studio if I upgrade) then burn the DVD using toast? Does Toast have menu templates like IDVD?
    If anyone has any experience using this blu-ray drive on their Mac with Final Cut and IDVD or Toast I would appreciate some input on what the exact workflow is and if the whole process has been a positive experience.
    Thanks so much for your help!
