Panasonic G5250 final Cut pro

hey there. I'll soon be a MAC user (getting a Macbook pro 15.4")
I have hours of footage to cut, captured using my pan. GS250 Mini. DV Cam
My question is, does final cut pro support the Panasonic GS250 So I can capture footage from my tapes??
thanks for your time in advance.

Great to hear!
thank you.
I sure hope my Panasonic GS250 Mini DV camera through Firewire works as yours did!
thank you for the reply.
Any one else have any comments about Final Cut Pro and GS250??

Panasonic and Final Cut pro on iMac

Hello
I have a Panasonic HDC-HS80 Video Camera.
I work with Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 on an iMac with OS 10.6.7
Do I have to set a special recording Mode on my camera?
How Do I get my videos from the camera to Final Cut Pro, so that I can cut and edit them?
Please help! Thanks

Your camera shoots AVCHD which is not an editing codec, so you'll need to convert your footage in ingest (ProRes LT or 422). Have a look at Shane Ross' tutorial on tapeless workflows:
http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
You will also need a fast external hard disk with FW800 connection (that will be your scratch disk).
I can't tell you what recording mode you should set but don't mix them if possible.

I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

How to encode Panasonic HDC-TM700 footage for Final Cut Pro?

How may I encode Panasonic HDC-TM700 footage for Final Cut Pro? It is 1080p/ 50 fps (in Europe)....

I have not bought the camera yet so I cannot try. I have heard that the footage is not suppose to be supported that easily since it is 28 MBS "Avchd?" format. However people seem to be able to edit it in Imovie....

What are the settings I have to set Final Cut pro to to be able to read my Panasonic AVCCAM when trying to transfer files?

I am trying to transfer my HD files from my Panasonic AVCCAM to Final Cut Pro X. What are the proper set up settings to get Final Cut to read the camera?

If using camera or card reader just click File\ click import from camera

AVCHD, Panasonic SD9, and Final Cut Pro FRAME RATE! crashing!

Ok - I am still getting nowhere with hidef - esp AVCHD!
I purchased a brand new iMac, totally spec'd out, AND Final Cut Studio YESTERDAY.
I am trying to import AVCHD files - to no avail - crashes FCP.
I tried the work-around of using Voltaic, which converts to the AIC, and when I import THOSE files the video shows as 10fps. I cannot seem to get the correct settings to get the video to play back up to speed. The audio sounds correct, but the video is in slow motion. Can someone help me figure out how to use $3,300 of a new computer and software -that I bought in order to use a $800 camera? Am I crazy or what?
ALSO, iMovie 08 will NOT run AVCHD files - OR convert them, I tried, and that crashed TOO!
Apple has let me down, even though their tech assistant was very nice on the phone - there is STILL no solution. I cannot use FCP OR iMovie. How ridiculous!
HELP PLEASE!

Thanks for your reply - but Perian 1.1 does not solve it at all - FCP still crashes upon attempting log and transfer..
My system is this: 10.5.2 OS
iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
And I have TODAY'S latest version of FCP.
Are you using the exact same camera? Or are you confusing it with the Panasonic HDC-SD5? I'm using the SD9 - tech support just sent me this article:
Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express: Unexpected quit with Panasonic HDC-SD9 AVCHD
Thanks again - I sure wish I could use my 800$ camera and 3,300$ hardware and software!
Best,

Panasonic HMC150 and Final cut Pro Problems

I have been shooting with a Panasonic HMC150 HD camera for a few months right now. As far as I can tell - final cut Pro can't handle the footage well. I find that hard to believe so I assume that I am doing something wrong! I "Log & Transfer" the footage as Pro Res. I bring my footage into Final cut. I'll open a Sequence - Drag & Drop a clips into the timeline and let final Cut choose the Sequence settings for me. I generally shoot at the 720p setting. For the most part I can Scrub, use the razor blade tool, trim etc., but eventually Final Cut will just crash and disappear, or I'll be working and get the spinning Beach Ball. I also have installed Jon Chappell's Digital Rebellion tools - one of the tools is a "Crash Analyzer." Some of the errors are: "Graphics Card," "Final cut was overloaded" "Plugin" several different things.
My graphics card is: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT...Is it too small or something?
I generally output DV/NTSC 48kz. Alot of my stuff goes to the local cable company and they don't have HD for the local stuff. So, once I get my HD footage trimmed - I start dropping the clips into the DV/NTSC sequence and start trimming, moving, scrubbing again to get things to edit in perfectly. this is when the really bad crashing starts! Not only does it crash frequently - Final Cut doesn't always save properly either!
So, not sure how to fix this...Mare RAM? Different Graphics Card? Anyone?

Great camera.

In general, incorrect. Probably something in your system or workflow. Let's figure it out.
I "Log & Transfer" the footage as Pro Res.
Good. Where is your Capture scratch set to?
let final Cut choose the Sequence settings for me.
Good. This assures that the sequence settings match your footage.
I generally shoot at the 720p setting.
Should work just fine.
or I'll be working and get the spinning Beach Ball.
Generally a sign you need more RAM. How much is installed?

Graphics card, yeah, you could stand to upgrade, but let's try other things first.
Plugin. Do you have any 3rd party plugins installed, or are they all the stock plugins that come with FCP?
So, once I get my HD footage trimmed - I start dropping the clips into the DV/NTSC sequence
Don't do this. Do your edit completely in the sequence that you've let FCP create for you. When you export, use Compressor to downconvert your final product to DV.

Final Cut pro and Panasonic camcorder HC-920

Does anyone know if a Panasonic HD Camcorder HC-X920 is OK with Final CUT Pro?

Works with a 750 just fine. Cameras are very similar.

Help. Panasonic gh3 to Final Cut Pro.

Hello, I recently purchased the Panasonic gh3 but I can´t find a program to convert images to a format my computer can read. I tryed with Silkypix but it automatically earases all the effects I used in the pictures. And also when I imported the videos to Final Cut Pro I had trouble with the audio and video, they don´t really match with real time. Could someone please tell me how can I match them? And if someone knows a good converting program I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Take out the SDHC card, insert into card reader etc. connected to Mac and click the "Import" button in FCP X.
All the clips should appear in the window ready for importing.
I believe it shoots 50p/60p, so as long as you have an up to date version of FCP X it should import the footage.

What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M camcorder for use on Final Cut Pro X?

What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M Camcorder Mts files for use with Final Cut Pro?

This camcorder records in several ways, including AVCHD2, mpeg4 iframe, and 3d, at least that seems to be the case from a quick reading of its specs.
If you get the latest update for fcpx, it will handle video shot in 60P. That is 10.0.4
Here is what Apple says it supports, and one version of the 900 seems to be supported.
I think the Apple site is a little behind its own software update, as one advantage of the new update is that it handles 60P.
Maybe I am missing something, but I wonder what would happen if you get the latest update for fcpx, and try your card again. I did find that fcpx now supports my sony dslr at 60P.
Here is a thread with one person saying they can now use their 900.

What are the format settings for the Panasonic HDC-HS9 on Final Cut Pro?

I have the Panasonic HDC-HS9 and I have recorded a load of stuff; however when it comes down to editing it I can't seem to get the right format setting/easy set up in Final Cut Pro.
Can anyone help?

Have you used the Log and Transfer window and transcoded the AVCHD files that that camera records to ProRes? If not try that. AVCHD has to be transcoded in order for FCP 6 to work with it, and ProRes is a lossless compression so it's the way to go here I think. You open the preferences in the Log and Transfer window (opened by typing shiftcmd8). The prefs are in a button with a little gear picture on it in the Log and Transfer window. You navigate to the original files shot by your camera and choose ProRes 422 as the codec. Then set sequence settings to be ProRes. You also must have the latest FCP software to all to work.

Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X

Does anyone have any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X for Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 shooting in 1080 P 60 ( mts file extension)

Don't use these generic offbrand converters to get footage into FCP X. they re-encode your video and cause loss of quality. If FCP X cannot import your video then use a utility that simply re-wraps it into a quicktime file with no transcoding or loss. I prefer Clipwrap which works great and is updated frequently but there are free alternatives like Media Converter or Rewrap.
But version 10.04 of FCP X should import it directly from camera as long as the folder structure is complete and you are not trying to merely import it from single mts files.

Comparing video quality of AVCHD BluRay discs using Final Cut Pro Share vs Compressor

Up front, I will admit to being a newbie when it comes to using Final Cut Studio 3 and would appreciate some feedback from the Apple forum experts.
I have spent a lot of time trying to determine how to achieve an optimum group of Compressor 3.5.2 settings so that the playback video quality of an AVCHD BluRay disc is equal to or better than one created by using the simpler auto settings of FCPro Share, version 7.0.2.
When using Compressor’s auto/default maximum settings, I experienced the same error message reported in:
Error MessageDuring Creation of Blu-ray Disc in FCP and Compressor 3.5
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12073794#12073794
I have since made some Compressor AVCHD Discs with smaller bit rate settings and compared video quality with a single FCP Share AVCHD disc. Both seem to be equal in providing a very good video when viewed on my new Panasonic DMP BDT 310 BluRay player. However, the Compressor AVCHD discs show some motion artifacts not present with the FCPro Share version, especially when scrolling text or when objects are moving through the field of view, and visible artifacts are seen from a stationary chain link fence and other lattice work in the background of the video sample.
My sample video used for the comparisons between Compressor and FCP Share discs is a 21 minute duration home movie, originally captured from a mini DV, Canon HV30 1080i camcorder using ProRes HQ encoding(1440x1080), and dragged into FC Pro 7.0.2 timeline where 10 chapter markers have been inserted.
To create an AVCHD disc using FCPro Share, Markers are used to set the IN and OUT points, Select IN to OUT from the timeline, pull down File Menu Share, Select Create BluRay from options in pop out Share pane, and designate output device along with picture files for Background, Logo, and Title options. When these are completed, click on Export. My 21-minute video required almost two hours for encoding including about 10 minutes for burning. This accomplished on an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
To prepare this same 21-minute video for use with Compressor, I again Select IN to Out from the FCPro timeline, but this time use File Export as a QuickTime Self Contained movie including Chapter markers. Then Open Compressor, choose Create BluRay from Template pane, right click on the down arrow in the Batch window and load the QT self contained movie file. From there I went to the Inspector window and tried various combinations of bit rate settings along with Frame Encoder options such as Better or Best motion parameter controls.
I have tried the following combinations of Bit rate settings along with varying Frame Encoder controls and burned an AVCHD disc for each example:
Example A
Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings OFF. Approximately 4 hours to encode although the time remaining estimator indicated a larger value of ~7 hours; not an accurate estimator at all.
Example B
Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motionadaptive)” settings. Approximately 4 hours to encode, not the 13 hours that were estimated.
Conclusion: Comparing A & B Compressor versions, Disc B showed some improvements in reducing motion artifacts over Disc A.
Example C
Compressor set to 13 Mbps Average and 15 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. DeInterlace was checked. Unknown hours to encode; about 8 hours done overnight..
Conclusion: Disc C showed some minor improvements reducing motion artifacts over Disc B
Example D
Compressor Auto settings,i.e., 15 Mbps Average and 17 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. Approximately 12 hours to encode, done overnight. Inserted disc next morning after the overnight encoding was completed, and a few minutes later an error message pane appeared that the maximum bit rate had been exceeded. This message was consistent with the Apple posted thread referenced above. Unfortunately the long overnight encoding was wasted.
It seemed to me that the best Compressor settings for suppressing the motion artifacts were displayed by the disc burned in Example C, i.e., 13/15 Ave/Max Mbps with“Better” Motion settings in the Frame Encoder.
However, when this disc was compared to the AVCHD Disc burned using the FCPro Share, the latter still seemed much better. I do not know what the auto bit rate values are as set in FC Pro, but for me, the quality is quite good AND the motion artifacts are significantly reduced, especially evident with the scrolling text.
Sorry about this long post, but I thought the detail would be necessary for the experts, and maybe helpful to others trying to get started in this BluRay arena. Did I misuse Compressor? I think the sample video exported as a self contained QT movie was the right thing to do? Not sure where I went wrong.
Thanks in advance for Feedback and Recommendations. For now, I’m going to stay with the simpler process using Final Cut Pro Share function.
BoBo

Thank You, Brad, for responding; glad to hear I'm not the only one having similar Compressor issues.
You may have hit on something. Perhaps Compressor's use of H.264 encoding was the reason for my motion artifacts? And perhaps Final Cut Pro Share retains the 1440x1080 quality as it burns the AVCHD BluRay disc?
I had Toast 10 for less than 30 days a couple of years ago, and was lucky to get a refund.
What version of Toast do you have? Wondering if new Toast 11 has improved previous bugs, especially upgrading its Chapter text, pictures, music. I would go back to Toast if it came close to mirroring DVD Studio Pro, or even iDVD capabilities.
Thanks,
BoBo
