Importing to LR3.3 from Panasonic DMC-ZS3

Sorry if this has been addressed. I couldn't find anything about it.
Windows 7 Pro, 64bit, LR3.3, 2-SanDisk 2gb cards, RAW USB 2.0 UDMA reader
Ever since upgrading to LR3.3 I have not been able to Import files (jpg) from my wifes SD cards straight to LR. Her camera is a Panasonic DMC-ZS3. Prior to LR 3.3, ie; 3.0 it worked fine. I can copy via explorer to the hard drive then Import them to LR 3.3 without a problem. OK, there is a problem. I use LR's automatic folder destination creator by date taken, on import. It takes too much time to create all these folders using explorer.
The Import report says the files were not imported because they could not be read but reads them fine from my hard drive. It reads and imports the files from my Nikon (CF card) fine also.
Any ideas why LR 3.3 does not like these files anymore.
Jim

Jim,
Bad card readers and/or USB connections (cables, ports, hubs) are known to cause issues like yours. Somehow, LR seems to be more affected by these problems than the O/S tools.

You could copy the files into ONE temporary folder via Explorer, and still use Copy/Move and LR's automatic folder creation by date.

Import from Panasonic DMC-FZ28 Lumix

Trying to import from Panasonic DMC-FZ28 Lumix but the only import option is the
in-built camera on my MPB (10.5.7).
I can see the camera in the Finder window and can click on various photos.
When the camera was connected to the USB port and select the setting as PC Connection.
Is there something else I need to do in order for iMovie to see this camera ?
Thank you,
Jay

If you are using iPhoto, import the photos into iPhoto. Then, in iMovie, start a new Project and name it (or open and old project). Open the Photo Browser in iMovie, and drag the photos in from there.
If you are not using iPhoto, drag the jpegs from your camera to a folder in the Finder.
Open iMovie. Start a new project and name it (or open and old project). Drag and drop the photos from the Finder window into your project.

HT202020 Using a SDHC card adapter I can import directly on my iPad2 videos (.mov) taken with a Panasonic DMC-ZS3. The same video files (same file format) imported in Aperture 3.3 cannot be synchronized with iPad. Is Aperture causing the problem?

Using a SDHC card adapter I can import directly on my iPad2 videos (.mov) taken with a Panasonic DMC-ZS3. The same video files (same file format) imported in Aperture 3.3 cannot be synchronized with iPad. Is Aperture causing the problem?

Oh, baby! This bad boy flies!! Here's what to expect:
I had 40,000 images in Aperture 3 and it was dog slow at everything. I installed 3.1 update today. It took 5 minutes to update the database and then behaved marginally better than before at ASIC library navigation. I was disappointed.
Then I QUIT the app. It took a couple of hours to "update files for sharing" with a counter that went to 110,000 images. So it must have updated every thumbnail and variation of preview. Turned it back on , and BAM. Came up fully in seconds. Paused for 10 seconds ten everything was lickrty split. For the first time ever, I can use the Projects view with all 791 projects and scroll quickly. I even put it in photos modevand whipped thru all 49,000 images!
Haven't done anybprocessing yet, but i'm liking it!!

How to import from Panasonic DMC-ZS10 to I Movie?

Cant import using Log and Transfer to FCE 4.0.1 from Panasonic DMC-TZ10

Does anyone know if/how I can import into FCE 4.0.1 using Log and Transfer? I use Log and Transfer with my Sony HDR XR200VE Video Camera but when I try this with the Panasonic DMC-TZ10 I can play the clips in the Log and Transfer Clip viewer however they don't import after I add them to the queue. It just gives me an ! icon and gives up.
I guess I need to know if there is a combination of camera settings and Codecs I can choose that will allow me to successfully import into FCE 4.0.1 using Log and Transfer.
The settings I can choose on the DMC-TZ10 camera are the Rec Mode (Either AVCHD Lite (GPS Rec), AVCHD Lite, or Motion JPEG) and the Rec Quality SH, H or L).
iPhoto 09 and iMovie 09 will automatically import video from this camera if I choose Motion JPEG and H on the DMC-TZ10

Log and transfer only supports AVCHD. It does not support AVCHD Lite, nor will it work with Motion JPEG media. You could use third party software to convert it, or iMovie and then export a QuickTime movie from there in the correct codec and format.

Import from Panasonic DMC-LX3, only RAW files being imported not JPGs

Hi,
is there a workaround for the following Aperture import transfer behaviour:
I have set my Panasonic DMC-LX3 to produce Raw (for CS4) and Jpg images with every shot.
However, when I import the SD card, Aperture only imports the .RW2 files (which are of course not supported as the DMC-LX3 is not compatible).
When I separate the RW2 files from the JPGs with two different folders on the SD card, then Aperture is able to transfer the JPGs.
Any workaround?
Thanks
Christoph

The JPEGs are there; they're just not used by default. To use them, use the "New version from master JPEG" menu item.

AVCHD - Iphoto does not import videos taken with Panasonic DMC-TZ7

Hi,
I come from the Iphoto forum in which I was told that if Quicktime can support AVCHD format, then I can import the videos taken with my camera (Panasonic DMC-TZ7 making ACVHD lite) directly into my Iphoto library. I found that easy to be able to look at all pictures and videos in the same library/software.
Do you know when quicktime is supposed to be updated ?
Regards,

Thanks for this very quick answer.
Do you have any idea when this format is supposed to be supported by Iphoto : until now I found so nice to be able to have in my Iphoto library both pictures and videos...
I am quite new to Mac and being obliged to use two softwares for "the same" purpose make me feel like going back to the PC universe !
Regards,
Jerome

Unable to download photos from Panasonic DMC-ZS19 to IPad

I have a first generation IPad and I am unable to download photos from my Panasonic DMC-ZS19. I have tried the USB and the card reader but the IPad does not recognize either. It was successful using the USB with my desktop but I am going on a trip and want to use the IPad to download to. I am using the original Photo app. Do I need to upgrade to another app? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Have you tried a different card or card reader or USB port? Or is the camera directly connected with a cable?
Testing with a different card would check if there is an unreadable file on the card (video image) or if there is a general problem with reading files from that camera.

Import 1080/50p from Panasonic TM900

I saw, that there have already been some discussions about importing 50p footage with FCP X in this forum.
In particluar I found one thread
No 1080/50P support.. WHY?!
where I understood, that import should work from a Panasonic camera, at least when there in only 50p movies stored on the card.
Though:
I am still not able to import the 1080/50p from my Panasonic TM900. When I plug the camera to my MAC, open the import window in FCP and go to CAM_MEM (the internal memory of the TM900), it shows some files in the file list. In particular one file named AVCHD (which, according to the size seems to be the file where the 50p footage is stored). But all these files are displayed in grey and can't be imported by FCP (I use latest release 10.0.7).
Does anyone have same experiences or (even better) a solution ?
Seems strange to me that it works with some Panasonic 50p footage (according to thread mentioned above) but not with my TM900.

Thanks a lot, Tom, Alchroma and AppleMan for the quick answers.
At the end, all your responses plus some further testing gave the solution:
The problem was, that I used the built-in memory of the TM900 camera rather than an SD card.
I now tested with an SD card and situation is as follows:
- 50p footage on the camera built-in memory is NOT recognized by FCP X - the import window shows the folder
structure instead of clips
- 50p footage on SD card & Camera with SD card plugged into MAC via USB:
again the 50p clips are NOT shown in the import window
But finally there is a solution:
- 50p footage on SD card and SD card directly plugged into card slot of the MAC:
in this case ALL clips (50p as well as AVCHD 25i) are shown in the import window as expected and can be
imported without any problem
Again, thanks a lot, your answers somehow guided me to the solution ;-)
One more point, where probably one of you can help me:
It seems that with the 50p footage I now definitely have to use optimized or proxy media (which I never did before), as my MAC is not able to play the 50p clips in the preview without lost frames.
As I'm a bit struggeling with disk space, I would prefer to use proxy media rather than optimized, but of course I don't want to have any quality loss in my final movie.
Did I get the following right ?
If I switch back to "use optimized or original media" just before exporting my movie, FCP will use the original media for the export, even if all the cutting workflow was done with the proxy files ?
Or will the us of proxy media in any way influence my final movie.
Happy to receive any confirmation on that topic and/or probably a recommendation, what is best workflow to deal with the 50p footage that brings my MAC to its limits.

Upload from Panasonic DMC-TZ3

Brand new IMac owner. I am trying to upload photos from my Panasonic DMC-TZ3 digital camera through USB. My IMac didn't like it, just spins the little color wheel. Can anyone help a newbie?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Some things to try:
Make sure your camera is set to Mass Storage, which is the protocol used to connect to Macs
Have you tried putting the camera card into a USB Card Reader?

Import .MTS files from Panasonic HDC SD700 ( AVCHD )

Does anyone know how to import .MTS files with FCP7?
I have already tried it via the log and transfer way, that does not work for our .MTS files, even when I do it the same way described on this website for importing AVCHD footage from SDHC cards via the log and transfer.
Is there maybe a codec missing? Adobe Premiere can use the .MTS files natively.
Thanks,
Petra

The SDHC card gives 3 folders: MISC, PRIVATE and DCIM when I keep the original order and don't change anything in the folder it says when I use log and transfer-> adding files ->
"MISC" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
All the properties shown after adding the files are 00:00:00:00 and I cannot play or preview the files in the log and transfer screen

How to import AVCHD from Panasonic DMC-FT1?

Hello everybody,
I just tried to import AVCHD Lite media files from a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 (also known as DMC-TS1) using an USB card reader and the log and transfer function.
A preview of the media files works, even the sound is ok.
When I mark the video for import it tries to import it, but if I click on the clip its status becomes a red {!}. An offered retry gives the same result.
Sometimes, especially after a preview of the media file, the log and transfer function crashes the whole FCE application.
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Florian

OK, I tried tried this. No direct success but after changing settings I will try again.
I don't know your camera nor its terminology, what's the frame size and frame rate and audio format and sample rate?
Sorry - the technical documentation is not very good. Here is what I found out:
1,280 x 720 pixels, AVCHD Lite (SH: 17 Mbps / H: 13 Mbps / L: 9 Mbps):
[NTSC] 60p *CCD output is 30p (fps).
[PAL] 50p *CCD output is 25p (fps).
Since I live in Germany I've got a PAL model.

Thanks for the links!
(None was about Panasonic, but lots about import problems like mine.)
Is the audio set to plain stereo in log and transfer?
Yes, I chose "simple stereo" instead of "matrix stereo".
Maybe this is important: The camera has only one microphone. And it has a feature called "Dolby Digital Creator".
Did you empty the cache?
I remember something like that. I'll try again.
What drive are you ingesting to? How is it formatted?
It's an external USB 2.0 hard drive. It's formatted with Mac OS Extended (Case senstive and journaled)
Do you have Perian installed?
No.
It's very possible this doesn't work with FCE, but it might, so if you give us as much information as you can maybe we can see something that can be adjusted to make this work.
Thanks a lot for your effort!
I see you're using a Mac mini. What are the full specs of that? It's going to be very borderline for editing video and some things in the application will not work.
2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB RAM (3 GB usable)
Intel GMA 950 graphics using 64 MB RAM
200 GB 7200rpm hard drive
1 TB USB 2.0 external hard drive
Looking at the simple configuration of FCE, none seems to really fit:
We have "AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec" but not with 1280x720.
We have "HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p25" but not with AVCHD.
And, of course, lots more. Which one should I choose?
Thank you, again!
Best regards,
Florian

Problems importing AVCHD clips from Panasonic GF1

I'm having problems importing clips from my new Panasonic Gf1. FCE (4.0.1) sees the device ok, and selecting and previewing the clips in the log and transfer window works fine, but once the clips are in FCE (converted to AIC) they play fast in the viewer or when placed in the sequence. Strange, because they play fine in the preview window before importing. Tried this in iMovie 08 and get the same effect.
I'm can convert them Toast to AIC and they work fine when imported to FCE but this is not my preferred workflow.

I tried using Toast Titanium 10 for conversion as suggested but there was a slight issue with synch of video and audio. So I downloaded and bought Voltaic HD as suggested elsewhere and the AVCHD files of the Panasonic GF-1 are now playing in Final Cut Express 4 without issues - I am editing with no problem. Given that I can use the Log&Transfer Window (Final Cut 4) for my Olympus EP1 and my Panasonic HD video cam, it's odd that the files of the Panasonic GF-1 don't work in Final Cut (yet), but at least I am back editing. Voltaic HD was $35, a doable expense.... it does work flawless (so far).

HT4757 Preview rawfiles from Panasonic DMC-G3 in Lion 10.7.4

I used to preview my rawfiles from Canon and Panasonic. With Lion 10.7.4 I can only see the Canon files. With Panasonic I see only a small image and the text "Unix körbar fil". (Swedish) Photoshop and Lightroom are ok.

I also have the same problem with Lion 10.7.4. iPhoto will see the .rw2 files from my Lumix G3 but when asked to import I get the message 'Unreadable Files'. I have tried the recommendation that appears to work for some by copying the following command into Terminal :
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/Isregister –R /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library
but that didnt work for me. I got the message "No such file or directory"
Apple Help in UK had no idea and Panasonic UK say it's an Apple software problem !
Any help / solution would be greatly appreciated.
