JVC Everio Widescreen settings in PE9

I have just purchased Premiere Elements 9 as It looked like all was OK with the trial. I record Standard Def videos on my JVC Everio HDD camera in 16:9. I started a new project and selected the widescreen setting (which even references the JVC HDD recorder). When I then add media to my project, it says the media is not the same type as the project and so I accepted the project change to suit my video. Whether I accept the change or not, when I preview, it always appears stretched like 4:3 instead of 16:9 and I have just compiled a video and it even burns to disc as 4:3 even though the disc output selection is widescreen. How can I get the package to preview in 16:9 and ensure it keeps the clips in 16:9 which is how they are recorded? The menus do appear as widescreen format.

This often happens with Everio MOD files.
It's an issue related to the video format itself, and is not a problem with Premiere Elements.
About the only solution is to right-click on the clips in the Project folder and select Interpret Footage to set the correct Pixel Aspect Ratio.
Also, as I said in your other thread, you probably haven't selected the correct project settings. If you had, there would not be a red line above your clips when you placed them on your timeline. Is this the case?

Best initial settings in Premiere Pro CS5 for JVC Everio HD .mts files

I have a JVC Everio HD Camera and I was wondering what would be the best setting to import the files? Should I just do the generic widescreen 16:9 setting? I believe the resolution is 1920 x 1080. I'm using the best setting which is UXP, but JVC told me that it's for Blueray. It seemed a little jumpy, but I chose regular dvd setting.

Best Sequence settings for JVC Everio files (TOD format)

I own a JVC Everio camcorder, and I recorded some videos if Full HD (1920 X 1080). I loaded the TOD files to my computer and converted them to MPEGs using the bundled PowerDirector program. When I play these HD MPEG files in Windows Media Player, they look fantastic. Very smooth color and no pixelation.
I loaded these files into a Premier Pro CS4 project because I need to perform some simple editing (trim in/out points, small rotation, and color correction). I created a sequence using the AVCHD 1080p square pixel preset, which has the following settings:
AVCHD 1080p square pixel
29.97 frames/second
Square pixels
Progressive scan
30 fps Drop-Fram time code
48kHz audio
I-Frame Only MPEG
Maximum Bit Depth, Maximum Render Quality
When I play the video files using either the Source or Project Monitor, the quality of the files appears degraded compared to what I see through Windows Media Player. I'm concerned that I'm not using the correct settings to best work with this source video format.
Should I change either the Program or Sequence settings to optimize for this file format, or is Windows Media Player performing some magic in the background?
Thanks,
Matthew

How can I best work with JVC Everio video files?

For a variety of reasons, MOD files from JVC Everio camcorders can be challenging for many video editors, including Premiere Elements, to work with.
Forum member MarkItVision offers his best solution for making the files easier to edit.
Using CyberLink Power Director Express - a program which comes bundled with the camcorder - capture the video and then place it on the timeline. Then go to File>Produce Movie and at "step 1" select "create a file"
Change the settings as shown to Type II and High Quality 48k. Change settings by clicking on the button two over from the one labeled CLVS and you can confirm the audio is PCM using the button to the right of it.
Follow the arrow "right" and give your file a name and location It will output the AVI as a DV-AVI Type II 48kHz PCM.
Import this file into a Premiere Elements project. The program should work easily with it.
To conform your video file for widescreen, drag it to the timeline, right-click on it and set it to "interpret footage as D1/DV PAL (or NTSC) Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)".

LR 4.2 won't import a JVC Everio MOD (MPG) video file

I have hundreds of JVC Everio video files that are natively created as MOD files on the camcorder. However, I can copy them to my Windows 7 system and simply rename them as *.MPG files and they play fine in Windows Media Player. I noticed that Adobe Premier Elements can import MOD files, but I get a "There is a problem with the video file..." error message in LR4.2 when I try to import the renamed MPG file. The Import function won't display MOD files as a valid file format, but the MPG files do appear in the Import browser list.

I'm confused about the licensing issue.
Cyberlink PowerDirector will successfully import and manipulate both *.MOD files and MOD files renamed as *.MPG.
Adobe Premier Elements can (apparently) import MOD files (see http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/supported-file-formats-premiere-elements.html).
Why can't Lightroom?
Any recommendations on what format to convert the MOD files to so I can import them into Lightroom?

FCE 4 and JVC everio hd7 "easy set up"

Ok I currently have a JVC everio hd7 which is a hard drive based cam. I also bought FCE 4 but I am exhausted of importing clips to imovie6 and then FC. I would like to know if anyone has had any luck with these two?

Not sure why you are going through iMovie first. Sounds like you are in the same boat I am with my hard drive based Sony cam. If your JVC saves clips as MPG, you have to use MPEG Streamclip to convert them. There is a batch save option which allows you to save all your clips in the same format, then you can walk away and let it do the work. Go to http://www.squared5.com to download the free software. Use these settings when you export:
Export to Quicktime
Compression: Apple DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Quality: 100%
Frame Size: 854 x 480 (16:9) [If your camera is 16:9, which most new cameras are.]
Be sure to deselect "Interlaced Scaling" and "Reinterlace Chroma" so you don't get that jittery effect.
The mov files will end up being twice the size of the mpg, but according to Ian Brown, that's normal.

JVC Everio and 16/9

Hi all . I have trouble with video from JVC everio cams . I download video from this cam to pc with copy . Now I install trial version of Adobe premiere elemnts , create widescreen project and import video from folder . But after i import this video to adobe , the video is 4/3 and the picture is demaged ... Setting in the camera is widescreen ... thanx for help marek

Which project setting did you select when you set up your Premiere Elements project?
Premiere Elements 9 includes a special project setting for use with JVC camcorders.
Also, you don't say how you got the video from the camcorder to your computer but, if you want it to maintain its aspect ratio, you should use Premiere Elements' Get Media tool.
My free Basic Training tutorial series shows you how to set up a project and get media into it.

JVC Everio Audio Quality After Import

I filmed quite a bit of video using my companies JVC Everio in full HD 1920x1080. The camera natively shoots in .tod format. I flipped it to .avi using AVS Video Converter. Both files play fine in VLC player, and they look just fine. After importing into premiere, the videos will barely play, and are super laggy. They video doesn't match up to the audio in the source window at all. I'll set in and out points, and only the video will go to the sequence in the timeline. Once I drag the audio and match it up to the video i just dragged, the audio doesn't match. I have to manually fix it. Even still, the audio sounds HORRIBLE. Again, it sounds just fine in VLC player, it's only after I import it that it made a womans voice sound slightly deeper, and just terrible quality. Am I doing something wrong in the import? Are there some sequence settings I need to change? I can fix most of the video problems, I can even deal with manually adjusting the placement of the audio and video after each insert of video from the source moniter, but I simply cannot deal with the loss of quality from the audio. Please help, I'd love to provide any additonal information about the system or project settings.

You sir are a genius.

After an upgrade to Mavericks - my Video Camera is no longer recognized by the system (JVC Everio HD video camera)

I just upgraded to Mavericks (up from Mountain Lion) last week. Today, I tried to upload movies to my MacBook Pro, and it no longer 'sees' the camera when plugged into the USB port. I have tired iMovie, iPhoto, and also direct access, via the hard drive. Nothing works. I have even restarted the computer with the camera plugged in and it is still not being recognized, and I cannot get the movies 'out' of the camera. I have never had a problem before , In fact I loaded movies last week, just by pluggin it into the USB.
Are there ANY suggestions on how or what to do for it to start to pick up on the fact that my video camera is indeed plugged in and has movies that can be imported?
Thanks!

DO NOT BUY A JVC EVERIO!!!!

I own a bunch of cameras so I have a educated opinion.
I purchased a JVC Everio GZ-MG130 and the camera is not worth the money they want for it. I purchased it brand new and I tried it once. Had formatting problems, in the middle of recording it told me there was trouble with the hard drive and it need to be re-formatted!!! But after TWENTY times of doing that it became frustrating. Add to that that about 2 hours of critical footage is now lost and gone forever. No, I didn't delete it, it just is not there. Great Camera huh? I knew better than to go with JVC. Shame on me. Hopefully I can return it and get a better one. I'm torn between the Panasonic (good company) or a Sony. I already have 2 MiniDV cams, I want a HD Cam. Can anyone give good advice on them? Hopefully my JVC disaster will save others from wasting time and money.

Well, I bought a JVC Everio after reading so much about Camcorders and the MAC. I need the hard drive for my trip to Africa, tapes and DVD's just aren't practical. My problem is that after I connect my Everio to the MAC, the still images seem to be okay in that they open in iPhoto. However, in order to open the video clips I was testing out, seems like I had to open iMovie 8, but when I do and try to import the clips they are grayed out, yet they don't show up in iPhoto so I can just drag them over. Any ideas what to do. I'm a novice and am just trying to make sure I can do it and then learn more about iDVD and perhaps build something from there. I cannot take the camera back nor do I want to - it is a great camcorder and easy to use and will work for my purpose. I just need to find out what to do to import the clips. Everything is recognizable, the icon shows up on my desktop, the clips are there etc. Anyone with any good ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.

JVC Everio GZ-MG630 60GB Camcorder Compatibility with FCP

I was wanting to get a little cheap & compact camcorder for carrying around and do away with tapes at the same time. Has anyone had any luck with FCP & hard drive camcorders with no tapes specifically the JVC Everio’s?
I have always been a miniDV user so this is all new…. however I was able to help a friend get his hard drive camcorder setup after having to get a converter online. I am just a little reluctant to invest in a camcorder when I don’t know if it will work or not.
Thanks for your help all!

Newbie seeks advice on importing to iMovie from JVC Everio

Hi there,
While I'm an old hand at the Mac - I really have little experience of AV applications and cams. I am very interested in buying a JVC Everio GZ-MC 500 or MC 200 Digital Media Camera, but just found out that I cannot import movie outputs into iMovie. Since MicroDrive technology seems like the way of the future I'd like to stick to the JVC. Is there any work around to this problem?
I have iLife 05 with iMovie HD installed and have just downloaded QT7 with Pro upgrade on the way. Does the MPEG 2 component solve this situation?
Any assistance to this would be a great help.
Thanks and regards,
Des

My experience with microdrives (..incidentally, Clive Sinclair used the name 'Microdrive' for the tape storage devices he sold for his original 1980s home computers ..about 20 feet of videotape wound into an endless loop in a teeny plastic housing, rather like a miniature 8-track cartridge ..they were also used in the ancient British ICL 'One-Per-Desk' under licence from Sinclair: those two slots along the top are microdrive slots.. Oops ..sorry; where was I..?) ..is that they're unreliable. CF cards are better. But how much video can you store on a CF card, and at what price?
Microdrives need a moment to run up to speed, and constantly starting and stopping them - as I've done with, for instance, a Sony F828 stills camera - I find that the drive gets confused about whether it should be saving or accessing ..and just stops working. Same thing has happened to me with a microdrive in various other devices. So I don't trust them any more. I've used various sizes (340Mb, 1Gb, 2.2Gb) and I always cross my fingers: some have stopped working completely; others have had to be reformatted as DOS, and then formatted as Mac HFS+ ..and I've found them to be more trouble than they promise to be worth. Imagine suddenly losing all your video after you'd just shot about 46 minutes' worth.. Weddings? Argghh! The bride and groom would be so disappointed ..and so would you!
There are various programs which will read MPEG-2 footage (..including the audio: iMovie will play the video 'natively', but often without the sound..) such as Streamclip. That'll convert MPEG footage into proper QuickTime, which iMovie can handle. So you could connect your microdrive(s) to your Mac, copy the footage, squirt it through Streamclip, then edit it.
However, be aware that the quality of the footage may not be as high as material recorded with proper miniDV (or Digital-8) tapes because of the nature of the Everio's recording/compressing/storing routine. The specification - on that page mentioned by 'L', above - shows that the Everios record in the same format as DV "NTSC (720x480) 4:2:0 PAL (720x576) 4:2:0" but - not having tried one - I dunno if the final appearance ..once the video's been 'unscrambled' from MPEG-2 format into something iMovie compatible, then saved back to tape or hard disc.. is as good as DV. It might be even better [..HDV hi-def is saved as MPEG-2..] but I couldn't say.
But DO be careful about microdrives ..ask a few Everio owners before putting down your money and buying one. And how does the price of a microdrive compare with a 60 minute miniDV tape?
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot: welcome to iMovie Discussions!

Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
And how long did you hold it down?
I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

JVC everio GZ-HD7

is the JVC everio GZ-HD7 compatible with fcp?

Technically?....check the following...
Editing
The JVC HD Everio GZ-HD7 comes with an attractive bundle of editing and archiving software for Windows-based PCs from Cyberlink BD Solution software suite, similar to their Cyberlink bundles in the past. This software suite contains PowerDirector for HD video editing, PowerProducer for the authoring of high definition Blu-ray discs and DVD video discs, and PowerCinema, a program that can be used both for playback and the management of image and video files.
One of the major hurdles for video enthusiasts looking to make the jump to full HD content has been a lack of affordable Blu-ray software. The inclusion of Cyberlinks BD Solution suite provides a surprisingly complete end-to-end BD solution. PowerMac users will need to assemble their own solutions as the CyberLink BD Solution suite is compatible only with Intel-based Macs and even that is complicated. You must own a copy of Windows for Mac and run the program through Bootcamp.<
