Is a Sony HDR SR7 compatible with FCP HD 4.5  ???

Ok I have been trying to get the video to work on my computer for way too long now. I have a Sony HDR SR7 Camera and I am running on the Leopard 10.5.2 OS and have FCP HD 4.5. I copied over the AVCHD folder into my external hard drive and then got Voltaic to convert the files into .mov files. Now when I try to set up the correct sequence in FCP I can't get it to work right. I have tried many different sequence settings and I get one that works for the first clip, but then every other clip i try to put on the timeline is squished and not at the right screen width.
Please can somebody help me?

You have two strikes against you.
1. FCP 4.5 is not supported under leopard (aka OSX 10.5)
2. FCP 4.5 does not support HD video other than DVCProHD - which your camera does not record.
The simple solution is to upgrade to FCS2 (aka Final Cut Studio 6.0.3)

  • Sony HDR-SR1 compatible with mac?

    I just bought the new sony handycam HD camcorder with the built in hard drive but was shocked to find that it did not come with software for Mac. Fortunately, I have an old windows machine so I installed the the software necessary to import the videos from my camcorder onto my PC. However, I do not want to use my windows anymore. Does anyone know if sony camcorders just aren't compatible with macs or is there some way for me to import my videos directly onto my apple?

    Have a look, via Google, for converters to change the .mts video format into something compatible with DV. You may have to run the converter software on your PC, as I can find only a Linux (not Mac) converter, and some PC software. Having converted it to DV format, you'd have to copy the resultant file(s) to your Mac ..probably by plugging in an external hard disc to first one and then the other. Cumbersome, I know.
    There is no support for the AVCHD format - as Kirk says - in iMovie at present. We'll have to wait and see what iMovie HD 7 brings. But that should be quite soon..

  • AVCHD Log and Transfer - with Sony HDR-SR7

    I have FCE4 running on my Mac Mini. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo. The FCE4 program was installed by my son using his account. He uses it the most and it has been working fine for him until now. No new FCE4 updates have been loaded. However, all of a sudden he can no longer "log and tranfer" the AVCHD files from our Sony HDR-SR7. The error is "AVCHD media is unsupported on PowerPC based hardware". Our Mac Mini is Intel based.
    If I login to my account it works fine. I deleted my sons preferences in ~/Library/Preferences/FinalCut User Settings as well as the *.plist file. Rebooted and still he gets the same error above.
    Somehow the FCE4 program thinks that the computer is a PowerPC but only when run from my sons account. Any Help would be appreciated? FOMR

    Is you're son's account and admin account?

  • How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?

    How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
    I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
    This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
    This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
    1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
    2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
    3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
    4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
    I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
    Thus my question is the same:
    -What software can do that?
    -Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
    -For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

  • Are these cameras compatible with FCP?

    Does anyone out there know if any of these cameras is compatible with Final Cut Pro 5/6? It's not listed on the compatibility list, but I have a hard time believing Sony or Panasonic would make any camcorders that are not compatible with FCP these days. I just want to make sure however, before I buy.

    - Sony DCR-HC38

    The qualifying devices list is not a good standard to judge by. There are many "devices" that work fine and aren't listed, and conversely, devices that are listed but may not function if the user is also using a certain third-party device; for example, certain listed Canons may indeed work well with FCS2, but attach an external drive to the same FireWire bus and it all goes fubar.

  • Cameras compatible with FCP

    Hello everyone. I'm curious to find out if there is a list that apple or FCP puts out that has all the cameras that are compatible with FCP and if it stays current. About a month ago I was at the beach and my home video camera was left unattended, and was drowned by a huge wave. Luckily I didn't take my Sony FX1. (Which is what I originally was going to do) Anyhow, I'm going to go and buy my wife another camera in the $700.00 to $1,000 dollar range and I want to make sure that whatever camera I purchase I can download the footage in FCP 6. Thanks
    Erv

    Indeed.
    As a filthy Englishman, I do not celebrate this holiday.
    But all the best to you and yours anyway.

  • Where can I find a list of Camcorders compatible with FCP X?

    Where can I find a list of Camcorders compatible with FCP X?

    I'll modify that first word!

    However, be aware that Apple has neither the time nor the incentive to test every camera on the market, so there will be many more models, old and new, that will work perfectly even though they are not on the database.

  • Is HDR express compatible with Elements 9 ?

    Is HDR Express compatible with Elements 9?   What is a relatively easy Hdr program to use with elements 9?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Elements doesn't support true HDR because the program is not able to. I use picturenaut which is a freebie. I convert my 3 exposures in elements from RAW to TIFF in a special folder. I open the 3 photos in Picturenaut which merges my photos in true HDR. Tonemapping can be done in Picturenaut or Elements I do this in quick edit. Good luck Chuck

  • Video recorded in QT Pro-compatible with FCP?

    Is a video recorded in QT Pro compatible with FCP?
    I was getting errors earlier today importing QT video clips recorded in QT Pro.
    FCP said "unknown file type" and wouldn't import it.
    I tried different decks, different footage, all to no avail.
    Drag and drop, file>Import, neither worked.
    I never tried this before and was surprised.
    It's not that it needed rendering, it just wouldn't import.
    QT was set to use the native format of the recording device.
    FCP was set to DV NTSC easy set up.
    OS 10.4.7, QT 7.1.2, FCP 5.0.4.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Now this is strange.
    I just downloaded Live Capture Plus to try it out.
    It captures the same tape from the same deck with the same settings as I tried in QT.
    Imports perfectly into FCP 5.1.1 No problems whatsoever.
    Both clips have identical settings in the info pane of QT Pro:
    DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
    29.97
    640 x 480 pixels
    Yet the QT clip will not import into FCP with an "unknown file" error.
    Why?
    Thanks

    G5 dual 2 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    G5 dual 2 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The files open fine in QT player.
    640 X 480 was the QT captured frame size, 29.97 fps, and it was captured as "device native" in QT preferences. The source tapes where mini DV/NTSC so its frame size should be 720 X 480.
    If this frame size is the problem, why is QT pro recording a 640 X 480 image when the original is 720 X 480? Also, can't FCP handle a 640 X 480 QT video size anyway?
    I tried different tapes with different decks and kept coming up with the "file not recognized" error when trying to import into FCP.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Will my sony HDR-TD10 work with FCPX

    will my sony HDR-TD10 work with FCPX

    Probably.
    "iMovie supports standard and high definition video, as well as the most popular formats, including DV, HDV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and even AVCHD."
    microMV is recording in MPEG-2.
    Bring your camera to your Apple dealer and try it out.

  • HT4682 Sony HDR-CX230/B compatible with FCP X

    I see that the HDR-CX230 and HDR-CX230E are listed as compatible.  Is the Is the HDR-CX230/B also compatible?

    The most accurate way to determine whether a camera works with FCP X is to actually try using it with FCP X.
    Download the free 30 day trial of FCP X and find out for yourself
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/trial/
    Note that you will need Mavericks  .  .  .  your info suggests you are still using Snow Leopard.
    P.S.  As the HDR-CX230/B is a bog-standard consumer camcorder it will almost certainly work with FCP X.
    New camcorders are appearing all the time and Apple has neither the time nor the incentive to test them  .  .  .  the list of compatible cameras is essentially a waste of time and should be ignored.

  • Transferring HD movie files from Sony HDR-SR7 to Macintosh computer

    I am contemplating buying a Sony High Definition Camcorder Model HDR-SR7. That model has a built in 60 GB hard drive on the camcorder. I would like to transfer the HD movie files to my PowerBook G4. I am told that a USB cable is available with a dock for the HDR-SR7 camcorder. My question is whether that USB transfer option is compatible with the MAC OS. Specifically will I be able to transfer the movie files from the camcorder to my PB G4 internal hard disk? I am not necessarily interested in editing the movie files---just want to transfer. If the USB option does not work are there any other options that will allow me to transfer the movie files ?

    Elliot: I know you say you don't want to edit, but this thread could be interesting for you:
