Importing subtitles from sony architect??

How do i import a sony dvd architect subtitle file in to dvd studio pro? Is this possible?
Thanks!!

If the subtitles conform either to STL specs from Sruce (which I doubt) or to Sonic Solutions Scenarist or DVD Creator they can be imported into DVD SP with no problem. If they are not, they should be converted first.

Importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder

Looking for help on importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder.
I recently purchased a new imac (1st mac) and imported the stored video on my Sony 120GB HDD camcorder. I would estimate that this is approximately 60-80 GB worth of video on the camcorder but when I imported this has become over 800GB on my imac and basically fills the HD.
My question is - is this normal or am I doing something wrong.
Cheers

Unfortunately the video from the current crop of High Def capable cameras use a really highly compressed file format to save video. The one most used is called AVCHD and it can really save a lot of space ON THE CAMERA if you like to shoot at the highest resolution. However to edit that video, it needs to be decompressed so that iMovie can preview it, and edit it accurately down to the individual video frame level (1/30th of a second). So the short answer is you're not doing anything wrong, those video clips can expand up to 40-75GBytes per hour of video after they are imported into the iMovie Events folders. However it is entirely possible to store the iMovie Events folders on an additional external hard drive. And that's usuallly the best solution for anyone quickly running out of space.

How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

Hi
Sony TRV22E - CAN ONLY export the VIDEO material via a FireWire Cable (iLinc)
Then Your Mac need eiter
- a FireWire port - or -
- a Thunderbolt port
if only Thunderbolt - Then You need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter.
The USB- can only copy over the Still photos You also cam take with Your Camera. Will NEVER work for Video Export.

Can't import videos from Sony A55

I can't import videos from Sony A55. Anybody can?

Fellows,
I have an A55 as well and iMovie 8.0.6 and can not import the AVHD movies. When I look into my Kingston SD card I get a directory with 5 folders, AVF_INFO, DCIM, MISC, MP_ROOT, and private. In private there is a folder called AVCHD, in which there are 3 folders, AVCHDTN, BDMV, AND IISVPL. In BDMV there is 3 folders and two files. The folders are CLIPINF, PLAYLIST, and STREAM. In STREAM there are the .MTS files. I have tried importing them, importing STREAM, and importing BDMV, all without success. Do you know what I am doing wrong, do I need the new iMovie, any other ideas ?
Thank you
Bruce Bodner

How do I import movies from sony HDR PJ200

How do I import movies from sony HDR PJ200?

hi, if your movies are recorded in AVCHD formats, they are not supported by iMovie so far. So, to make the conversion seems to be the best choice now. Except the brorsoft suggested by emmalucky, Video Mate also fits your mac well. IMovie accepted video formats includs .DV, .MOV, .MPEG-4, .M4V、H.264, .AIC. So, you can convert your movies to above video formats. Hope this help.

After Import AVCHD from Sony CX730, IMPOSSIBLE to put the video on the Timeline!!!!!

I have bought Premiere three days ago. I am working on a AVCHD project, with clips from a Sony FS700 (1080 50p), and clips from a Sony CX730 (1080 25p). I can import the clips but for the CX730 clips it is impossible to put them on the timeline!!!!!
I can put the audio (5-1) on audio 4, but impossible to put the video... Everybody told me that Premiere support all the codec on the same project... It is not true!!!
Why????

Yes! you are right, every thing work well now!! Thanks a lot!
With my best regards.

Importing footage from sony HDR-SR12 to External for later use in imovie?

Hi all, I have a question, I would like to save my movie footage which is on my sony HDR-SR12 to a external drive(G Raid1TB) so I can view and also import clips to imovie for making movie's later. I have partitioned the Ext HD 150gb for photos and 781gb for movie footage. Just out of curiosity I mounted my camera and pressed get info and the format on the sony camera is MS-Dos(fat32) does this matter at all? Also which is the best way or how do I import the footage from sony hdr-sr12 to the external Hd. I have never done this before so your help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to mess up.
Thank You
Jess

I should have mentioned, it is a good idea to make an archive copy of your AVCHD footage before importing. You should be able to do this from the FILE menu in iMovie. This will preserve the AVCHD files exactly as they were on the camera.
When you import, you convert the AVCHD files (which are highly compressed) into Apple Intermediate Codec, which is suitable for editing.
If you want to make sure that your archive copy is working properly, you can import from your archive copy, rather than importing directly from the camera. This is a good way to make sure you have a good archive copy before erasing the video on the camera.

Importing video from Sony Handycam

What is the proper workflow for importing video from my Sony DCR SR82 into iMovie '08?
Anyone do this successfully?

I just bought a related Sony camera, the DCR-SR220. I am still trying to figure out the optimal way, but have been able to see it on my imac by
1) installing from Apple Software site Quicktime mpeg-2 playback component (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/) and
2) installing MPEG Streamclip (www.squared5.com)
1) Via USB I hook up my camera and it shows up as a harddisk. I then boot Streamclip and open the file(s) I want to open from the camera. This can take substantial time.
2) Export as a Quicktime file (.mov)
3) Open up the .mov file in iMovieHD and edit there.
If you know of any better way, please let me know.
Best from Jersey.

Importing video from Sony dcr-trv230e

Hi
I have an old Sony HandyCam DCR-TRV230E camcorder, which comes with the ability to play all 8mm formats over firewire. The tapes I am try to import vary from Digital 8 right back to the old 8mm format. I have tried playing all formats with the same result.
The camcorder is connected to my new 27" iMac (3.4 GHz i7) and I'm trying to import the footage into iMovie 11 via Firewire. I have the feed from my camcorder (4pin-6pin) going via an extension cable (6pin-9pin) into my Mac. I know the 4pin-6pin cable is good as it connects to an old pc. The 6pin-9pin is brand new.
It seems that my iMac doesn't see the camera (About This Mac>More Info>Firewire just reports that the maximum speed is Upto 800 Mb/sec but doesn't list any devices) so could this be a cable issue?
With that said, looking at iMovie 11 support seems that tape camcorders are no longer supported, which I am guessing is why I am unable to connect to my old camcorder. Am I correct in this assumption?
If I got a copy of iMovie 9 would I then be able to import the video?
Any help very happily received!

I had a Sony TRV230 and it worked well with iMovie, although I had to baby sit it sometimes, because the tracking would go out of alignment and I would have to restart the capture.
In your case, I would suggest that you get a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable. The adapters that you mentioned cause lots of trouble. You can find reasonable priced cables at www.monoprice.com, for example.

No longer able to import movies from Sony HDR-SR10

I have a Sony HDR-SR10 camera. I have previously been able to import videos from it to iMovie '08, but now I always get an error :
*An Error Occurred During Import*
There was a problem importing 1 of 1 clips from your camera. Please review the imported movies carefully.
I can't think of anything which has changed since when I was able to import movies, except that I have upgraded to Snow Leopard.

Hi Winston, thanks for your answer. It's a bit worrying to hear about having to format the camera every now and then' I haven't formatted it since I bought it 18 months ago...
No, I don't have any other software that can convert the videos. Is there any free software which can do it?
I did try repairing the image database on the camera, but it didn't help.
I don't know if this is clear from my previous post, but none of the clips on the camera can be imported; it's not just some of them. There are hundreds of clips on the camera...
Sony have told me I should upgrade to iMovie '09; do you know if this is likely to help? Could the problem be caused by running iMovie '08 on Snow Leopard?
Thanks for your help.

Problem with imported movies from Sony Cyber Shot

Hello all, I have an unusal problem.
My mate has got a brand new sony cybershot camera which does movies.
These movies import into iPhoto no problem with sound.
However if I then use that clip in iMovie there is no sound, it does not matter how I try to import. I have tried importing direct from the sony card, from the import menu and from dragging. Still no dice.
What should be the next step?
Its iMovie HD and 10.4.4

Hi Gary

and for free the tool Streamclip

Can't import video from Sony DVR to iMovie 4

Help please. I have been looking through the discussion threads and have found similar problems but haven't found a solution that works for me.
I am connecting a Sony HC32 through iLink (firewire) to import a video into iMovie 4. iMovie recognizes the camera is connected and I can control the camera through the controls within iMovie, but the images never show on the screen. They only show in the view finder of the camera. The sony manual is no use, neither is their site.
The camera is set to USB Stream (as was suggested by the sony manual). the other options are STD-USB and PictBridge. (which also didn't work)
Additional helpful details.
I recorded in SP mode
I have powered off my mac (even unplugging from wall).
I have unplugged the firewire and plugged it back in (both from camera and from mac.)
I have verified the time/date are set on the camera
I have even tried importing both from battery power and from AC adaptor.
does anyone else have this camera? Am I missing a setting on the camera? this is my first video camera. I have a few still cameras and iPhoto is so easy! I figured iMovie would be just as simple.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Sue,
I don't know exactly what did the trick but here's what I did and it works like a charm. (Just in case someone else runs into the same issue)
I used the Garage Band reset.
Video camera set to USB-PLY/EDT = USB STREAM (the other options are PictBridge and STD-USB and no way to select "null")
Camera in the dock
Firewire directly attached to iMac
Firewire in dock (the only way to plug in)
USB Streaming option on dock set to "Off"
Camera powered by AC adaptor rather than battery.
Open iMovie
Turn on camera.
I don't know if this is the only way it will work because I tried so many things (including turning the dock USB streaming on/off) but this seems to be the ticket for me so I am always going to follow this process.
thanks again for your help and suggestions.

How to import AVCHD from Sony A7S to Premiere Pro CC 2014 on Windows 7

Hi, I'm a comparative newbie who just needs to edit some training videos shot on Sony A7S.
The adobe help documents suggest that PP CC 2014 can import .MTS files in AVCHD 25p format, but however I approach this it seems to come back with 'unsupported file' error.
I've tried importing direct from camera over wifi, downloading files to hard drive and then importing from there, downloading entire folders to hard drive and then importing from there... But nothing seems to work.
When I search online I get lots of seeming 'spam' about a variety of converters, is this what I am compelled to do?
I guess I'm getting something really simple wrong, I'd appreciate it if someone kind can tell me the error of my ways!

Thanks Neil, that's a great help.
Just to clarify...
I'm currently accessing the camera through wifi, so it shows up in my windows explorer 'window' on the left hand side as an icon under 'Computer'.
When I double click that icon, I get a 'storage device' icon in the main window.
The recommended approach would be to drag and drop the entire contents of the storage device onto a folder on my hard drive - is that correctly understood?
Then I should access content through media browser window, NOT 'import' under file?
