Logging with JVC GY-HM100u Camera?

I'm a new owner of the JVC GY-HM100u which, of course, records in Final Cut Pro's "native" language - .mov. I absolutely love the camera. The problem I'm having is that with previous cameras I would use the log and transfer and be able to go through all my clips, mark points I liked, rename it, then move it into a project. Since the HM100u clips are already .mov, you can't "log and transfer" them. So my question is how can I pre-edit and name the clips before moving them to a project? Thanks.

So if I understand you correct, there is no way I can use the logging function when working with native .mov files? That made it easy to edit and rename on the fly before importing (when I used a different camera). And having the JVC GY-HM100u was supposed to make things quicker too. This is surprising.

    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?

  • Log and Transfer Issue with JVC Camera.

    Hello all,
    I am using JVC GY-HM100U and Final Cut Studio (FCP7.0.3).
    I have installed JVC_Plugin1_0_3.dmg as Apple recommended.
    However, when I connect SD card to FCP, I can not still use 'log and transfer' of FCP.
    Do you know what's the issue is?
    Thank you.

    The warning sign pops-up as below.
    "CLIP" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media. 
    I am recording in Kingstone 16GB Class 10 SD card.-I have formatted before using it.
    I am shooting with 1080 60i.
    Thank you.

  • 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 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? 

  • 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

  • JVC GR-HD1U Camera and FCE?

    Please help! I've spent days on this! I have read all the discussions and tried all suggestions. Please tell me exactly how to get my new to me JVC GR-HD1U Camera to work with Final Cut Express. I have Quicktime Pro, MPEG Streamclip, firewiresdk26 and I still cannot capture a thing. What setting in Easy Setup should I use? If you say "Trash Preferences", please explain this. I am not sure what is meant by this. If I need to capture with Quicktime please explain how, I tried and cannot get to work. I just want to edit.

    http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
    from what I tell this camera shoots HDV at 720p30, so that's the setting you should use. Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30.
    Trash the preferences. Disconnect any other devices except the keyboard and mouse. Connect the camera via FireWire. Turn it on in VCR mode set to output HDV. Make sure that's set correctly in whatever menu it has to be set in. Launch the application. Set the preset. Does the application recognize the camera is connected? If no, check to see if system profiler recognizes the camera is connected. If not, try a different cable or an Apple store. If yes, try log and capture and see what happens.

  • 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?

    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...

  • 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.

  • JVC GY-HM100u for live streaming

    I want to buy the JVC GY-HM100u for live streaming at my local church. We want to be able to have the camera at the front of the church and have the laptop that we are using somewhere else.
    Is this possible and if so how?
    Also what laptop would you recommend for this type of task
    (Live streaming a Church service and editing the recording later on)

    First question I have is why do you want the camera at the front?
    Second question is are you using the laptop for the web broadcast or recording?
    Third question - what hardware are you going to use to get from the camera and into your computer, and what software to get it from the computer to the web?
    My advice is stream in SD and run a composite video line from the camera to some sort of hardware that'll get it into your computer to stream out. What hardware you need depends on the software you use to stream. It's church - save a few bucks going SD, then donate what you save to a local charity. If you do anamorphic (widescreen) SD you'll probably convince half of your web viewers that it's HD. Check with your streaming provider about what needs to be done with anamorphic video. Don't forget to think about what kind of upstream data connection you need. Check with your provider to see what kind of sustained upload speeds you need. Do tests during the service to see what's available. If you have public WiFi sharing the internet connection you might run into issues sometime.
    For your recording later on, just record to the camera's SD card slots. The JVC you mentioned records Quicktime movies that'll go right into Final Cut. This can easily be HD.
    Make sure your audio is clean, it matters more than the picture. Get a feed from one of the audio consoles. If it's the front of house board (or the board if you only have one) ask for a Matrix, post-fade AUX, or Tape Out from the sound guy - though he will have an understanding of what you need already. You might look into some sort of auto-gain controller or compressor to level things off. You can have 12dB of difference between someone talking and a band play easily.
    For the laptop - again it depends on your streaming provider. A desktop may be a better option for specialised hardware requirements.
    I'm going to hop on a soap box here at the end for a second. I don't mean this offensively to your local church. I have no idea what sorts of programs you have in place or anything of the sort. That said, for a church I'd sit down and do a cost-benefit analysis on this before continuing. Sure, a live stream is cool, but given the cost that it takes to get it going I'd rather buy school supplies and hygiene items for kids that need them, or put some money into social justice. Chances are a live stream isn't going to change someone's life, but providing a village with clean water changes several lives. You could probably step away from the live idea, drop down to SD, and save about $4,000 initially, plus whatever ongoing costs web streaming necessitates. A lot can be done with $4,000.

  • *FCP capture & compatibility problems with JVC BR-HD50 deck*

    Please help.
    I’m looking for someone who has shot w/ JVC GY-HD200 cameras, using JVC Pro HD MINI dv tape stock and uses a JVC BR-HD50 deck and edits on the most recent (6.03 update) version of FCP. Or some amazing, savvy whiz that has solved this problem.
    I now know that Apple does not support the JVC BR-HD50 deck. However, Apple does support the JVC GY-HD200 camera.
    I have more than 100 plus-hours of footage (shot on JVC proHD mini dv w/ 2 JVC GY-HD200 cam) that is begging to be digitized. I’m not going to ruin my heads by digitizing all this footage from the camera.
    I need a straight answer boys…All I need to know is what deck to use…
    Can someone please tell me what deck is compatible, is supported by Apple AND is available?
    As far as I know there isn’t any” JVC HD deck that’s “currently available” AND “supported” my Mac.” Yes, I’ve been the mac page - Spoke w/ B&H and other outlets and the JVC 6000u is no longer available.
    I spoke with a very patient FCP tech-support fellow & he suggested the JVC CJ VHI…or another FCP tech recommended the “no longer available 6000. These don’t work.
    The bottom line is that my new deck doesn’t fully communicate w/ FCP. (TC issues) Having consulted many savvy FCP editors, IT pros specializing in video & mac, a smart & determined video guy from “B&H,” as well as the fine gentleman at Apple (never spoke to a woman) who are apparently FCP whizzes—I’ve gotten a lot of, “try this,” or “apple doesn’t support the br-hd50 deck or “it looks like your (brand new, custom loaded tower) doesn’t recognize any component that uses fire wire – you need to take it to an apple store.” Which was not true. My fire wire ports work just fine.
    Perhaps Brandon or Jeff (the fantastic mac FCP support) or a few of the folks from JVC could chime in…Kunihiko Sato-san or anyone who is innovative, smart or perhaps wears a black turtleneck. Please only respond with proven results not theories… and “yes” I tried to load video without the latest FCP update, changed cables & tried all the troubleshooting techniques from the Apple FCP support staff. In addition, I “updated “my brand new” JVC deck - Hiromi Minakawa-san?
    I’d greatly appreciate some help with this. I’m not a FCP, Mac or super-tech guru. Thank you!

    Can you tell us exactly what the problem is? Is the computer not recognising the deck at all or is it importing broken clips with huge gaps? (the usual problem).
    If you are using FCP 6 try bringing the footage in as ProRes. This usually brings in the footage with only a small number of frames missing from the beginning of each shot.
    This camera is at it's best if you use the DR HD100 onboard hard drive, save yourself hours of digitising and keep the original tapes as archive / backup and no quality loss (or missing frames for that matter). I have clients who post produce themselves who use this camera purely for this feature.

  • QTP can't read .mp4 files from JVC HM-100 cam...

    My QTP gives me the following message when I try to open an .mp4 file created with a JVC HM-100 camera: "The movie could not be opened. The movie contains some invalid data."
    VLC and iSkysoft (video converter) can read the file with no problem, so it can't be corrupt. I put a similar post in a thread about the JVC cam, but no one knew a solution.
    Right now, it looks like the only way to convert the mp4 files from the JVC HM-100 is to buy a video converter software for $50 because QuicktimePro, which cost me $30, can't do this, even though it claims to support mp4. Any ideas here?
    So in lieu of QTP, are video converters like iSkySoft reliable enough to use? Do I risk losing any quality? Am I forced to pay for 3rd party functionality again that I already paid for in QTP?
    Thanks... David

    Problem solved.
    I used the FREE software ffmpegX to convert the mp4 files.
    So why does FREE software do the job that PAY software like QTP promises to do, but can't deliver?
    Hmmm?
