JVC GY-HM100U and FCP Setup

I'm shooting in 720p30 (SD or HQ) on a GY-HM100U. When I drag the .mov files from the SD card to the FCP timeline, what should be the settings in Final Cut? HDV 720p30, or Apple ProRes 720p30?
Thanks.

To my knowledge, JVC's 24P variation of HDV is not yet compatible with any version of FCP. A search for "hd100" on this forum yeilded these results: http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=f939&search=Go&q=hd100

I have a JVC GY-HM100U and when I try to get the video files (MP4 format) off of the the SD card I get the error message OSStatus error -12909...any thoughts?

To be more precise: You MUST shoot in mov. Then drag the Clip bins from the card to you hard drive. Then drag the clips to FCP timeline and FCP asks you if you want to change to the right codec and of course you say YES. Now you can start editing. Can not be more simple. This camera was specially designed for use with FCP.

JVC GY-HM100U + .Mov + Premier Pro CS3 = "Codec missing or unavailable"?

Is it possible to shoot in quicktime mode on the JVC GY-HM100U and edit the files in Premiere CS3 for PC? If so, how?
I keep getting the "Codec missing or unavailable" message.
Thank you for your help!

Another program I like for doing some video/audio sleuthing is MediaInfo. It's not as powerful as GSpot (I mean... what is?) but it formats the data in a fashion that I think makes it a little more readily usable. It works with just about every kind of video and audio file I've ever thrown at it, and is regularly updated.
I don't know the camera, unfortunately, so I'm merely going on what that post I linked to suggested. I had just recalled someone mentioning a JVC (*coughjunkvideocrapcough*) camcorder a couple of days ago...
PS: just teasing about the JVC thing...

Format, use and rate in easy setup with the JVC gy-hm100u

Hi. I am about to start using Final Cut studio with my JVC gy-hm100u camcorder. What format, use and rate should I choose in the easy set up?

sorry missed out some info:
There is a specific codec listed in FCP set up for the JVC GY-HM100, it is only available in version Final Cut Pro 6.04 and later.
In FCP pro v 7 you simply drag and drop to the timeline
Earlier versions of FCP do not support the camera.
The codec used is an XDCam EX codec

I can't not transfer files in 'log and transfer' of Final Cut Pro. I recorded it in SD card using Nikon D7000 and JVC GY-HM100U.

I think I need plug-in. Please let me know. Thank you.

Well, the Nikon D7000 footage cannot be logged and transferred. There is no plugin for that like there is for the Canon cameras. Nikon never developed one. So the footage from that camera will need to be converted with Compressor or MPEG STREAMCLIP.
The JVC should work...what version of FCP are you on?

JVC Hard Drive Camera and FCP

Is there anyone out there using a JVC Hard Drive Camera and FCP. Would like to hear what you have to say about file types, conversion, etc. Was hoping for a quicker download, but converting is taking about as much time as download tape. Any suggestions?

I "might" be able to help.
I, too have a JVC hard drive camera. Not the same model as you, and not HD, but still the same idea. One big difference between our cameras is that your camera creates a "TOD" file, and mine creates an "MOD" file. The difference between the two may void my advice, but I doubt it.
I had similar problems converting to a file useable by FCP. I finally called JVC, and they told me to get "Capty MPEG Edit EX". I dropped the fifty bucks and it works great. A little slow, but it works. I still think it's better than capturing tape.
I HAVE learned though that buying a hard drive camera was somewhat of a mistake. By compressing the video to be saved on the drive, we've already lost something. My needs don't require super high quality 3 CCD video, so it really doesn't matter that much for me. I don't know about your needs.
Secondly, I've downloaded a free program called MPEG Streamclip. It works great. It's a little quicker than Capty and it was free. Also, I took one of my MOD files and changed it to TOD, and it opened just fine. Also, when exporting with MPEG Streamclip, if you choose "Export To Quicktime", use the default "Apple Motion JPEG A" setting and choose "unscaled" for your video and 100% quality on your sound, there is no need to render in FCP. BIG time saver for me. Now, somebody that knows way more about this than I do could probably flame me and say I'm "converting crap to crappier" or something, but it looks pretty good to me, and it works for what I'm doing.

JVC HD30 and FCP

Hi All
I'm thinking about buying a HDV-camcorder and set my mind to the JVC HD30. But I can't find that on this list (http://shedworx.com/?q=volmac-cameras ) of models that seem to work good with a mac. Does anyone has experience with the combination of this camcorder and FCP or FCE?
Thank you very much in advance
Arjen

Actually, it's XDcam Ex in a .mov wrapper.
+An out-of-the-box GY-HM700 can record to inexpensive SDHC cards (class 6 or faster) as Quicktime .MOV using the XDCAM EX codec at selectable bitrates of 19, 25 or 35Mbps. The Mpeg-2 encoder is JVC’s, the XDCAM EX codec is licensed from Sony, and the Quicktime wrapper is licensed from Apple.+

Importing from a JVC GY-HM100U?

I work for a small nonprofit and we recently received a grant for a nice JVC GY-HM100U HD video cam. We're going to create video content highlighting our work and the work of artists and musicians from Appalachia.
I took the camera out for a test run the other night, and all went well until I tried to import the files from the shoot into iMovie '11. No go.
I looked online and saw that the JVC camera uses a professional-level codec (XDCam) that is not recognized by iMovie. I saw this discussion and followed the steps, but it made no difference. I can view the clips in QuickTime, but cannot import them into iMovie.
Does anyone know of any other workarounds? The only solution I see is to upgrade to FCP X, but I hate to do that unless it's necessary.
Thanks.

To get the XDCAM codec, you need FCP X. Once you have it, you could edit in FCP.
I think it is likely you could edit the files in iMovie if a licensed copy of FCP is on the same machine. But I cannot say for sure since I do not have any XDCAM footage to test. Worst case, you could edit in FCP, which should produce great results, but there is a learning curve. I would figure $299 for the software and another $100 in training (if you get one of the online video tutorials).
If you want to try the Perian solution, I would get an App called MPEG Streamclip (which is free). It is available from Squared 5. Then with Perian installed, convert the XDCAM files to Apple Intermediate Codec. This Apple Intermediate Codec file should import into iMovie.
Disclaimer: I have not tried this myself.
Congratulations. That is a great camera.
LET ME ADD...Because I have no way to test this, I would recommend that you find someone with FCPX and iMovie both installed and try it to see if it works. One way to do this would be to take it to the Apple Store, although the Apple employees might not understand the question.
Better still if you could find a video professional that had both installed. They could walk you through it and find at least one way to do it.
Even if they have FCP 7 installed they should be able to test this.
For the Perian solution, which is free, you might want to test yourself. Let me know if you need help with MPEG Streamclip.

JVC GY-HM100U

Now that the JCV GY-HM100U is available, has any one used it with FCE? Are the Quicktime .mov files drag and drop in FCE? I would like to upgrade my camera, and have been going back and forth between the Canon XH-A1 and JVC HM100U and really like the SDHC recording aspect. Would I need to up-grade to FCP if I wanted to use the HM100U native file recording (.mov) or would FCE handle the ISO base import using MPEG-2 Long format ?
Any advise would be appreciated!

I have now used the JVC GY-HM100U HD camcorder. It works very well in FCE, just import the mov files off the SDHC and you are ready to edit. The 1920x1080 mov files will play in the FCE time line if you render or reduce the playback performance. The low light sensitivity (1/4" CCDs) seems not to be an issue for me and the 10X zoom works well for my applications. Some of the controls could be improved on, but a far better camcorder than the old Panasonic DV-701 I have been using. The time saved from transferring from camcorder to FCE will now be replaced by waiting for the HD sequences to be rendered. Oh well, can't have everything. I would recommend the HM100 for the native Quicktime file format and the excellent video images that it produces. A very simple camcorder to operate for the non technical end user also.

New JVC GY-HM100u won't work with Premiere Elements 4...?????Help

Does anyone know if, and why Premeire Elements 4 w
ill not work with JVC GY-HM100U camera?
The video uploads into premeire 4, but I have no audio. Please help.

Eric
You really need to define what you are recording with that JVC camcorder and trying to edit in Premiere Elements 4. Are you recording AVCHD (represented as MPEG4 AVC/H.264) and frame size 1920 x 1080 30 frames per second OR 1440 x 1080 30 frames per second OR what might be AVCHD Lite (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) but with the lesser resolution of 1280 x 720, 30 frames per second?
AVCHD is not supported by Premiere Elements 4. AVCHD support for Premiere Elements exists for versions 7 and 8. There is a special case where, with certain Sony Vaio and Sony Add On, you end up with AVCHD support for your setup. As I recall, in the days of Premiere Elements 4 users who did not have this special Sony Vaio, they needed to convert the AVCHD to a non AVCHD format in order to work with it in Premiere Elements 4.0 (with 3rd party software).
To avoid the speculation, best to download and install the first utility named gspot and give us a read out for Video Codec: Name: Status; Audio Codec: Name: Status; frame rate, frame size, etc. Be sure to indicate what the file extension is for these videos (.mov, .mp4, .m2t, .mts, .m2ts, or other.
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/quick_start.html
From what I have read this camcorder does not record SD, but is probably recording AVCHD and HDV. If I am on the right track with this one, have you taken time to look at Premiere Elements 4 with other JVC formats, like HDV, besides whatever you are using now?

New 13" MacBook Pro and FCP Express?

Is the new 13" MBP OK for light video editing with iMovie or FCP Express and little photo editing with Photoshop Elements?
For video I use Panasonic AG-HMC40 AVCCAM HD.
Thanks!

Graphics.
However, as I keep telling everyone, I have an almost prehistoric 2004 G4 eMac (1.25GHz 768MB RAM and 32MB VRAM) which ran and still does run, FCE 4 and FCP 6 perfectly well.
The only minor problem was that the new FxPlug effects did not work, but with 200 other effects there was still plenty to keep anyone happy.
Your setup will not have that problem and even though it isn't the latest iteration it should still be excellent for the job.

Last tiger and fcp: cannot export back to mini dv

we used to be able with old Mac Os and fcp to reexport to mini dv, wether on our jvc super vhs, or sony and panasoni cameras. we just are not able to do it now; anybody has a solution?

Check your firewire cable. shouldnt be any difference between printing to video on 4.5 or 5. Or perhaps its something else. I am honestly aware of many problems I and some others are having with Tiger / FCP 5, this is not one of them that I'm aware of.
PS Welcome to discussions!!!

How can I get my DV-60I video out of my JVC HD-100u and into FCP6

The title says it all. I shot three football games on the JVC hd-100u Camcorder in DV-60I, and another tape in HDV-SD60P. Does anyone know how to properly set up FCP6 to recognize the camera and the footage? I've tried everything I can think of, and keep re-reading the manual, but I'm new to both the camera and FCP and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Not having a time limit when using capture now has been known to fill a hard drive, effectively crashing the drive and the computer.
The inability of cameras to easily connect via firewire comes up here regularly.
Try this as a troubleshooting sequence -
- Turn everything off
- If you have an external firewire drive, disconnect it.
- With only the camera connected to the firewire bus, turn it on
- Turn on the Computer
- Open up System Profiler and look for the FIREWIRE section.
- Do you see your camera listed?
If no,
- you have basic connection issues - try the firewire port reset (do a search here on the forum)
If yes,
- Open up iMovie and try to capture a short segement.
- Did it work?
if no,
- there is something potentially wacky with your camera settings.
if yes,
- Now open up FCP, make sure your firewire communication protocol is appropriate for your camera.
- Try to log a short clip and capture using Batch Capture.
- Did it work?
If no,
- you likely likely need to reinstall Quicktime. Read through THIS ARTICLE.
If yes,
- you may need to install a second bus for your capture drive. You do not want to be capturing to the system drive.
report back please.

Mac Pro and FCP - Very Unstable

I just purchased the Mac Pro and installed FCP 5.1.2. I have a dual 2.6 Ghz with 2.5 TB external eSATA Raid (using the Sonnet E4P card), Kona LHe Card and 3 GB of RAM.
1. FCP, Quicktime and Shake each unexpectedly quits on playback of video within a few minutes of opening and
2. Video in FCP and Quicktime has blocky (colored lego) defects and corruption.
I suspect this may be the RAID or Quicktime, but this is about the most unstable FCP setup I have ever experienced since FCP 1.0.
Any suggestions? is it my RAID controller card, Quicktime, FCP or something else?
Thanks.

Just found this for Dan - http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/sonnet/e4p/
Scroll down a bit - they recommend using it in an appropriate slot - something else to check ....

Compatibility: OS X 10.4.6 and FCP 3

I use FCP 3 on a Powerbook G4. My primary external video device is a Sony DV CAM DSR-20. Until recently, I was running OS X 10.3 and the setup was bulletproof. Days ago, I installed OS X 10.4.6 and immediately thereafter FCP would not recognize the DSR-20. For purposes of troubleshooting, I temporarily replaced the DSR-20 with my Sony PD-150. Still nothing. Minutes ago, I upgraded my system software from 10.6 to 10.7. FPC still reconizes neither the DSR-20 nor the PD-150. Has anyone had similar experiences?

The real problem, David, and for that matter everyone else, is;
Many of us are very happy with what we have, whether it be v.3, 4, 4.5. HD or ??? because we are busily cranking out sausage through the grinder every day. And the customers like the meat, filler and spices we use just fine. Nevermind they may have all the taste of Paris Hilton or Britney Spears, it's their check we cash at the end of the day.
But every few hours this little white box pops up in front of everything we are doing saying, "upgrade now to Quickitime this, Tiger that. Critical to do this security update"... etc.
So, because we have no way to disable this irritating load of insider Spam or discern if it's yet another sales pitch, we just knuckle under and press O.K. And invariably 999-megabytes later our system simply crashes. Final Cut Pro crashes, then everything stops working, including the sausage maker.
Yeah Yeah, we all know time marches on. Progress is inevitable. Programs get upgraded. We also know that planned obsolesence is the cornerstone of American industry. If a Chevy truck craters at 100 thousand miles instead of 150 thousand, GM can wrestle another 3 years in its death match with Honda. That doesn't alter the fact that my old truck gets better gas mileage than what they're offering now and the transmission doesn't need adjusting every 40 thousand miles like the new one does. But OH, isn't the color of the new leather lovely?
I guess the short answer is, people get tired of seeing their products quit and even more tired of the manufacturer or his shills saying, you wouldn't be having any trouble if you'd buy the new one.
