Importing Sony EX1 and F3 files

wouldn't it be a nice thing if we didn't have to stumble around begging for help when we go into a new application, I feel I need a white cane and a dog right now with FCPX.....Whatever happened to manuals?
So can I import files from my Sony EX1-R and the Sony PMW F3 directly or do they first have to run through Sony's XDCam Transfer?....Thanks!

Hi Mark, yes I have imported media from FCP Studio to FCPX, just to see if it would work, and it does. But frankly when I've got the work loaded and started in Studio I just stay there. I haven't done any serious editing yet in FPX, but what I have done, ( when I can get the media to load ), has been ok.
For now and for me though the "paying work" stays in Studio. That works, I'm familiar with it and I haven't had the time to re-learn editing using FPCX. I'm hoping Tom, ( Tom Wolsky ), has a FCPX book in the pipeline that will be yet another of his excellent guides to these Apple programmes......Do you Tom?
Regarding your question as to whether I've seen any weird effects on some FCPX images I have found in the past with FCP or Avid that it's best to output any part of your edit that exhibits any "weirdness" to finished format and then check it, most times the moraying or strobing goes away on final output.
If you are working in FCP Studio on a MacPro with a Kona or similar card then of course you can use a reference broadcast monitor to check to see if any aberrations will be on your final output too.....I don't think we can do that yet using FCPX, (?).

SONY EX1 and Cannon 5D together on same timeline?

Hello
Need to edit EX1 and Cannon 5D footage on same timeline - both 1080p 30fps. What is best timeline? Pro Res 422? I know how to import SONY EX1 footage, but how to import/convert/edit 5D, and on same timeline as EX1 footage? Using FCP 7 latest.
Also, anything to watch out for, be aware of using these two together?
Thanks much
K

Convert both to ProRes. Or you can keep the XDCAM native, but convert the 5D to ProRes and use a ProRes timeline. 1080p 29.97 ProRes timeline.
DO NOT edit the native H.264 Canon files. FCP will choke.

LR5 not importing Sony RAW DSC-RX10 files. Only sees the JPEGs. Any thoughts/fixes?

LR5 not importing Sony RAW DSC-RX10 files. Only sees the JPEGs. Any thoughts/fixes?

The LR 5.3 RC at Adobe Labs lists preliminary support for the RX10, but that usually means the colors will be a bit off, because they are pretending the RX10 is a previous model with a similar sensor. I would expect better support in the final release of LR 5.3 presumably in a few weeks.
You can get started with LR 5.3 RC from http://labs.adobe.com but realize that you’ll probably want to redo your pictures, again, when the final release is available.

How to batch or individual import Canvas .CVX and .CNV files into AI CS6(mac)?

Is anyone aware how to batch or individually import Canvas .CVX and .CNV files into AI CS6(mac)? I have a large old graphics library representing 10 years of work which would be very nice to convert into Illustrator CS6...
Thanks a lot for any hint -

It's not a matter of exporting a file that Windows will recognize; it's a matter of exporting a file format that Illustrator can import or open.
A Mac OS version of Canvas is under development, by the way.

My bad. Typo on my part. I meant one that Adobe will recognize.
Too early yet. I shouldn't try to type before I get my first morning tea.

Sony EX1 and OnLocation

I just purchased the Sony EX1 and am wanting to do some On Location filming. Does anyone know if there are any compatibility issues with this cam as there were in Premiere Pro CS3 before the 3.2 update? Also, I understand OnLocation on a laptop is for firewire. What would be required to record SDI output from the EX1? What to record to? Besides ofcourse mucho bucks. Thanks for any input. Dorian

At least 4 SATA disks in a raid0 configuration or better, a wall outlet for the necessary juice, and a new version of OL.

How to import Sony EX1 files into FCS (that are already on HD in folders)

let me try an explain, I have bought some footage, and the person that sold me the footage gave me the raw files. I was shot using a SONY EX1. I have one too, as well as a EX3. My difficulty is that I'm not able to import the files into FCS... when I import my own footage I read it from the SXS using XDCAM Transfer, but as the footage he sold me is already on my HD and in the raw form (in folders divided into files)...
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have been away on a shoot, but finally back, and still have not resolved the problem...I have try to do what you say, but XDCAM Transfer does not recognize the folders... it is strange...any other idea???

Importing AVCHD .MTS and .M2TS files (Sony HDR-SR1) into iMovie 08

I've read numerous other threads about trying to get these files into iMovie 08 but I'm still having problems.
I can plug my camcorder in just fine and have it import directly off there. But for older video files that I took with this camcorder I have two folders. One with just the .MTS files that I pulled off the camcorder. And the other with the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS (.modd & .m2ts) files that I archived (using my sony software) on my pc way back when I was using my PC for video editing.
I created a .DMG that I copied everything from my camcorders HD to. I was able to mount this and iMovie 08 worked just like when I plug my camcorder in. But my problem comes when I try to work with the older .MTS and .M2TS files that I backed up. I was hoping that I could just put them in the
DMGIMAGE\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM folder and have it import just like before but no luck there. Any ideas as to how I can go about pulling these old raw video files to work with in iMovie? Thanks.

You might try voltaic to convert these files before adding them to imovie

Lightroom 5.4 problem importing older crw and nef files

Built new computer. Fresh install of Photoshop Lightroom 5.4. Imported photos to lightroom 5.4. After import session completed noted some folders in catalog had zero photos. Checked folders in explorer and photos/files are present. Able to open and view photos/files in Photoshop cs5.
Files are raw files format from canon G1 CRW and Nikon d70 NEF.
Any ideas? How do I proceed? Should I download and install the free Adobe DNG Converter? But these are old cameras?
thanks

Thanks for the reply. No the files were not list in a LR Catalog anywhere on the computer. I was able to import the missing files by right clicking on the empty folder in the LR Catalog, selected the import to folder option. This opened the import LR Window, I deselected the "duplicate option" . This allowed the files to become visible, not the usual grayed out thumbnails usually seen if attempting to import a duplicate. Once I selected the raw files LR imported them to the folder. I did get a LR message stating that a "smart preview already was present for files.
If LR was able to verify a smart preview for the files from a previous import, why were the folders in LR displaying a 0 for files/photos?
I am in the process of reviewing the LR Catalog to ensure everything was imported.

How do you import CSV, tab, and OFX files into multiple Numbers columns

This Apple function from Numbers '08 Help "Importing a Document" does not seem to work:
"You can create a new Numbers spreadsheet by importing a document created in Microsoft Excel or AppleWorks 6. Numbers can also import files in comma-separated value (CSV) format, tab-delimited format, and Open Financial Exchange (OFX) format."
No amount of experimenting with Import, Export, Save As, Paste and Match Style, or using other applications will enable importing CSV, tab, or OFX files into multiple Numbers columns. Instead, all data is imported into a single Numbers column, which then has to be manually and tediously parsed one data element at a time into columns, one row, and one column at a time.

Joe,
They all have worked here. I'm not presently able to try in Numbers 08, but I know I've done them all.
Just double-clicking a .csv file will open Numbers and display the data in a table. Dragging a .csv file to your Numbers icon on the Dock will open it as a Numbers table. Dragging it to a Sheet in an open Numbers document will make a new table in an existing document, and dragging to a table will insert the csv file into the table you dropped it into.
CAUTION
With Numbers '08, CSV files must use the comma as delimiter on every setting of decimal separator.
Numbers '09 behave differently.
With your tab-delimited file open in a word processor, copy it, then paste it into a table in an open Numbers document. When doing this, select a cell in the table, but don't double-click into the text field of the cell, then paste.
Why use this long road when we may import directly Tab Separated Values file (tsv.txt) with Numbers '08 (or '09) ?

Importing a .DAT and .001 files

Hi,
I need to create a flat file (ascii) from a .DAT and .001 files created by the Oracle Export utility.
I thought that I could import the above mentionned fileds to Oracle 8i Lite and then export the tables to a flat file (ascii).
So far I could not find a way to import those files with Lite 8i.
I'm curently downloading the Data Migration utylity.
What is the best way to proceed?
Thank you.

if you already have a dat file..then what seems to be the problem..
I am confuse..however if you have the dat file..say from example..
I have a dat file and the data in my dat look like the following:
'Blaze',1,'Available', 123,
and the control files look like the following:
LOAD DATA
APPEND
INTO TABLE table_name
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(PRIZE CHAR(256) OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY "'" ,
PROMOTION_ID,
STATUS CHAR(20) OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY "'" ,
USER_ID)
then all you need to do is use sql loader..
good luck

How to import image, html and other files into your siteroot

Hi!
I teach basic web development at a highschool. They've been
using GoLive before I came along and they all stuggle to adapt and
understand why DW doesn't support a simple "add" or "import" files
within the program.
And frankly neither do I. For most user new to DW the
intuitive way to add files to the root folder is to:
-Right click the siteroot window (files tab) > add files
-File menu > add/import files
All of these could easily make a duplicate html, png, rar or
whatever file and put it into the site root without leaving the
application. Just a simple adjustment to make life easier for all
DW rookies.
Dont you agree?
Well, until anything changes, the fast way to control your
siteroot folder is still outside DW and in your files/folders of
your OS, right? Or drag and drop files into the site root also
works great.

It doesn't need it. Just copy the files into the root folder
and DW will
see them.
> Dont you agree?
No.
> the fast way to control your siteroot folder is

right?
Yes - but you can do it all inside DW too. Note that at the
very top of
your site list in the Files panel you have access to
everything on your hard
drive.... You can copy and paste from that.

The Sony EX1 and CS3!

Has anybody here edited with Sony EX1 footage? Is it better to edit in CS3 and Prospect or CS4 native? People who have tried either way might share their experiences. Thank you.

I've edited hours and hours of the stuff in CS3 native. The 3.2 update adds support for XDCAM EX.
The trial versions (CS3 or 4) will not have this support as the MPEG 2 decoder is not included in trial versions. Adobe would have to pay for the MPEG 2 license for each downloaded trial version. Full versions of CS3 and CS4 have support for XDCAM EX natively.

How to import Sony Z1 and A1 tape based files to FCP X?

Apple support have today told me (eventually) that footage from the Sony HVR Z1 and A1 and the GoPro Hero 2 cameras are not suppported by FCP X, they suggest using a 3rd party convertor, this will add considerably to the time bringing data into the package.
How do others get over this issue as I am assuming that others are using Sony HVR & GoPro cameras as they are market leaders.

Who exactly at Apple support told you this? Z1 and A1 are HDV cameras and are covered by this note
Final Cut Pro X is compatible with most MiniDV tape-based camcorders using DV and HDV formats, which use a FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.LINK) cable to transfer video.
The GoPro media can be imported an optimized on import. The audio from the cameras is not suitable for FCP, but most people don't use audio from these cameras. If you need audio and video you can batch convert with Compressor or MPEG Streamclip.

Importing the js and css files included in the distributable JAR

Hi, I have a custom JSF component that needs one .css and one .js file.
The question is: how can I put those files in the distributable JAR of the component, allowing the jsf pages that use this custom tag, to automatically import them once per page-?
(RichFaces components, for example, work in this way).
Thanks.
[Lately, searching in SUN forums works horribly for me in both Firefox and IExplorer-¿?]

JSF 2.0 will have this functionality out of the box. See [1].
Would recommend you give it a shot. The first beta will be released soon, but the nightlies [2]
are fairly stable right now.
If you're a maven type of person, the nightly snapshots can be obtained using this info;

Imported Subtitles from and STL file are missing German characters.

I have had an STL subtitle file prepared by external company.
It works beautifully and imports into DVDSP fine. The problem i have is that some German characters (ö and ü) are not displaying and instead i get other characters.
I have tried changing language input source in system prefferences but to no avail.
Can any one help? Please

they are nice people, but they kept sending changes that conflicted, going back and forth over the same items. Turns out two different people were doing the reviews and they didn't agree on wording of the theft warning. Took six extra months to do. Oh, and make sure you have a printout when you start to work. Often you won't know when the accents are missing.
