Panasonic GH-1 compatibility

I like Aperture a lot and want to stick with it. But I also want to buy a Panasonic GH-1, and currently its RAW format isn't supported by Aperture.
Does anyone know when Aperture will be upgraded to work with GH-1 RAWs? And will the compatibility be complete, in the sense that the software would ideally pick up on the tags providing lens data and automatically correct aberrations?

I have the same issues regarding the G-1, but the answer to your question is "no, no-one knows". At least ... no-one who can speak knows.
In the meantime, I am shooting RAW+JPG, importing only the JPG, and processing any decent shots externally using the RAW file in the supplied Silkypix software.

Panasonic SD700 Camcorder compatibility with iMovieHD

I am considering the purchase of a Panasonic SD700 Camcorder not just for the reported image quality but because it has sockets for an external mike and headset. My only remaining doubt is its compatibility with iMovieHD. Is is simply a case of transferring the SD card from the camcorder to my Mac or does the camcorder output have to be converted into an iMovieHD-compatible format? Help would be appreciated. Regards.

There have been a number of responses to my initial query but none seems to address it directly. I have both iMovie 09 and iMovie HD. The Panasonic model in which I am interested is the SD700 which only uses SD cards. I want to buy the most compatible camera possible to use with either of the above applications. I am trying to avoid having to do conversions to another format before I can edit. I am a newcomer to video & camcorders trying to avoid an expensive purchasing error. Further guidance would be appreciated and thanks to those who have contributed so far. Victor

Panasonic Lumix FX150 compatibility

after connecting my new Lumix 150 via USB, although the camera said "Connecting with PC" it didn't.
Then I noticed that the battery strength indictor only showed two of its three white segments. Tell me that was the problem and not iPhoto 6 incapable of recognising this only released-in-August '08 Lumix.
Anyhows I'm off to the shops tomorrow and get me a card reader known to be ok for OS4 and up.

Cmera compatibability for JPEGs is the manafactures responsibility - iPhoto works with standard USB camera access - some cameras support mutliple methode - see your camera manaual - it it does you may have to try a different one - my Sony's all work in auto
If you are shooting RAW then there need to be OS compatibility
Try image capture ( in your applications folder) and see if the camera is mounted to the desktop in the finder -- a card reader is a good idea not only for compatibility but for a better and safer workflow

Panasonic Model TC42PX34X compatibility

Why I can´t acces to my new brand ATV to my Panasonic?
Can I have todo do something in my TV or ATV?

I am trying to get a panasonic VDR-D150GN camcorder to work with imovie HD 6.0.2 on my new macbook. I can get the camcorder icon on my desktop via USB, but it is simply a folder containing 3 files I cannot seem to open in imovie. They are .bup, .ifo, and .fro
Would it help if I bought a firewire cable? Do I need to convert from mpeg2 to mpeg4 format? Help.
Panasonic does not seem to provide much in the way of customer care. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Panasonic HDC-SD9 compatibility and workaround

As many know the Panasonic HDC-SD9 is currently not supported by iMovie '08. There is a commercial product available which seems to work smoothly (Voltaic). However I tried to find a solution that works with what I already have. Following a tip by another user that was posted in this forum I used Toast9 to import the .MTS files and then export them as file. Unfortunately the output could not be imported to iMovie '08. I tried several formats but to no avail. Then I tried the same with iMovie HD, and it worked. These are the settings I was using in Toast 9 which seem to produce good results (Apple Intermediate Codec, HDV 1080i, Size: 1920x1080 HD 16:9, Framerate: keep framerate output says 25 however). I was able to import the file in iMovie HD. The project setting I used was "HDV 1080i". For reasons I do not understand it is not possible to import the newly created project directly into iMovie '08 (the project file is empty - clips as well as media area). However if you export from iMovie HD using Quicktime and the same AIC settings as above you will end up with a file you can import into iMovie '08 (if you prefer editing with iMovie '08). Well it is at least a workaround and I have no idea if the settings could be tweaked to get even better results (any ideas?) or of it is possible to use the new progressive 1920x1080p format without significant loss of quality (settings?). Still I, as many others, hope that Apple will support this popular AVCHD device soon.

Hi,
I am in a similar position however I have managed to get iMovie 08 to download directly with a problem though. The films sample fine however they are shorter (around 50% shorter). ie a piece on the camera plays in say 20 seconds and plays back through the windows software in 20 seconds however when played back through the Apple it takes about 12 seconds (with everything moving faster!!! ie no details lost).
This downloading is very sensitive to settings. I have got this working with HA format for video but you must turn 25P ON and then it works - well sort of. If there is a way of getting the right frame rate then it should work (25 on the laptop aswell).
Being new to Apple what does it usually take to get the software updated to support the latest hardware.
If you create an AVCHD from the Windows software iMovie 08 can also read this directly but does exactly the same thing when it samples the data ie records it to fast!
Hope this helps and would welcome any comments.
Cheers

Panasonic AG-HSC1U compatibility w.FCE/FCP or i movie08 ?

on some reviews of this camcorder it is stated that it works fine.
true or false?

CLick on UNDERDOG and read my blog. I talk heavily about working with the HVX-200 and intermixing the footage shot with it and the Varicam. It works with FCP rather flawlessly. Many of the features are tied to the P2 card, such at 23.98 24PN...24 real fps opposed to pulldown removal. If you use the firestore HD with this, you cannot use that feature. Also, the firestore breaks your footage into 2GB chunks as it is formatted fat 32, so when the chunks are re-assembled there are small 2-5 frame gaps. A fix is in the works, and this isn't consistant behavior.
The HVX-200 shoots DVCPRO HD, which is a 4:2:2 colorspace as opposed to the JDV HDV format which is 4:2:0. Plus, the HDV format is virtually unkeyable, suffers from motion artifacts when fast motion occurs (most notably the blurring of the objects opposed to nice clean pictures).
I cannot recommend that camera more highly over ANY HDV camera. But mind you, the P2 workflow isn't for every production. There are many instances where I'd suggest the HDV cameras over the HVX because of what is being filmed and the workflow needed.
What will you be shooting?

Panasonic AG-DVX100B -- Compatibility?

A few questions on this product.
First off, the link is here.
http://www.expresscameras.com/prodetails.asp?prodid=450977&start=1
Second; will that thing work with Final Cut Express?
And third, I'm betting that thing uses little tapes to record everything. How would I get that video content from the tape, onto a MacBook Pro Laptop to use with Final Cut Express?
That's all.

It's a DV camera. You capture using FireWire. FCE does not work with all of the formats this camera shoots.

Conforming of H.264 clips with 48k Linear Audio

Hi all,
I regularly shoot medical conferences and we have 2 Panasonic AC-160 cameras to videotape the speakers and 1 Atomos Ninja to record all the Powerpoint presentations (routed through an Atlona scaler).
Anyway, when I put the three sources into the timeline, the Ninja which is Prores video/audio will immediately work in the timeline without conforming (only creating the .PEK files very quickly). But even though I have the AC-160 cameras that record H.264 are set to record 48K Linear PCM audio (a feature touted by Panasonic for editing compatibility), all of these clips need to be conformed due to the audio not being recognized in the same way as the Prores audio thus bloating the project's hard drive with .CFA files that are huge.
When I hit "Properties" for the clips in Premiere Pro CC, here is what I get:
Ninja: Audio 48000 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
AC-160: Audio 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Is the AC-160 audio being misidentified as "compressed" and therefore PPro thinks that it needs to be conformed?
Another thing to note, when I open the clips in Quicktime 7 and get info, the audio for the Panasonic clips say the following: 16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz. This is different than the "Little Endian" of the Ninja clip (16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz).
So if there was some way for Premiere Pro to correctly identify the difference, could this be a workflow that would save hours of rendering time? Could it also be that the developers are just not aware of this alternative format yet (instead of the usual compressed audio that most H.264 cameras capture)?
I have about 20-25 hours of footage on three different sources, so if there was a fix for this it would save me hours of time and hard drive space!
Thanks

Hello,
I did what everybody recommends on this forum ---> Revert to QT 7.3.1 with "Pacifist" ... and it's all Ok again

Compatibility OK between Air TV and TV PANASONIC TX-L55DT60E LED 3D : is it OK before I Buy ? Thanks.

Hi, I would verify the compatibility between the Air TV and the Panasonic TX-L55DT60E LED 3D ?
Is it OK before I buy ?
Thanks for your answer,
Jacques

It has HDMI so should be just fine, be sure to turn off any silly motion settings the TV offers.

HT4757 Is there ever going to be RAW compatibility with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 added to Aperture 3?

Is there ever going to be RAW compatibility with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 added to Aperture 3?
It's a good camera which I think has been overlooked in this area?
Any advice you good people?

Hello,
I don't know when but you can send a message to Apple so they can add that in a next update (not 100% sure but you can try).
Go here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html and in the Feedback Type select : Harware compatibility.

HT4757 Please Help. I need Raw Compatibility for Panasonic Lumix DMC L10 Digital Camera

Blu-ray compatibility with Panasonic DMP-BD60

I made a blu-ray disk from Encore CS4 with my internal Pioneer blu-ray burner using Power DVD9 and it played back fine with this burner. But when played through the Panasonic which is connect with HDMI to Denon receiver to HD TV it stops and starts intermittently throughout the sequence. What is really strange is before I upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate had Vistainstalled and at that time tested a Blu-ray disk and it worked fine. Only diifferences between the two is a few page curls and audio fade in /out. I updated the firmware on Panasonic, but did not make a difference. I used Shintaro blu- ray REfor both. DVD disks work fine on both. Could it be if I did my transcoding before I made an Encore project. I used dynamic links this time without transcoding first.
Any ideas Please

You are most correct, a lot of consumers are going to take it out of the box and use it, and not know or care about firmware updates. Eventually the problem will be sorted out by manufacturers (indeed I think it mostly already has, most if not all of the new release blu-ray players now support BD-R), this is just the same case when DVD players started getting big, some did not support DVD-Rs or RWs, etc. but most do now. I suppose the solution now would be to set up an email address (thats included in the BD-R packaging) and if people have trouble address them individually by email and inform them of firmware updates.
All blu-rays that we've released have a CYA statement about firmware updates and a link to the Sony site. If we have several major clients who can't seem to figure it out, have them email their model numbers and ship them a DVD with the update on it with instructions how to use it. I suppose a fee could/should be charged for that.
Hopefully we'll be out of this awkward phase soon....but only time will tell.

Help With Panasonic DCM-LX1 RAW Compatibility with iPhoto

Can someone share their successful experience of importing RAW files into iPhoto from their Panasonic LX1? I posted this question earlier but all replies were lost somewhere in web Limbo when sent to my email. My Mac will import photo and video files from the LX1 in a JPEG & TIFF format but will not recognize and will not import photos shot in RAW, my personal format choice. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I have the same camera so i checked out the raw images--sorry no spots show up.

Panasonic GH4 and PP CS5 4K Compatibility

I still use Premiere Pro CS5... it works fine for me and I never really saw the need to upgrade. I'm now looking into getting a new video camera and am seriously considering the Panasonic GH4 or the X1000. If I use these to shoot in 4K can I simply import the footage into PP CS5 like I have in the past with AVCHD footage? Or will I need to upgrade to PP CC? My PC is very powerful, an I7 with a Cuda card.
Upon researching this question on the web I'm seeing conflicting results. Some people say they can just import 4K video into a sequence without a problem and others say it needs to be converted through another 3rd party program. I also found some info about importing RED 4K footage, but is that the same workflow for GH4 4K video?
I think the only way I'll get an accurate answer is to post here in the Adobe forums. Hopefully there is a PP CS5 user out there who sees this post and who also has a GH4 and can explain their 4K workflow.
Thanks!

Dear taz291819
Thanks for your help. I have one more question. Do I actually need two monitors or will the computer monitor serve as a video monitor? I'm used to the old analog process of viewing the final video on a video monitor, but with HD, I would think that the computer monitor would give the same result as a separate video monitor. My ViewSonic would work, I'm sure, but it's a bit small for the HD format and I would like a bigger screen to work on. So, can I just use the computer monitor for editing and viewing the final product?
For Harm Millaard, I just think that HD will produce a better final product in small formats viewed as podcasts or on mobile phones -- plus almost everyone wants everything in HD now, and for some of the things I will be doing, it will undoubtedly give a better product. I want to upgrade my camera anyway, so I want to go to HD.
