Panasonic GS400 camera

I am considering the purchase of a Panasonic GS400 3CCD widescreen camera and am wondering if anyone here has imported video from this model to iMovie HD6? If they have, were there were any problems with the aspect ratio and using iDVD wide-screen menus?
My current camera only has 'cinema' (ie letterboxed) mode for widescreen and, although this produces a full-screen picture when watched directly on television, importing it into iMovie (whatever the Preference settings) retains the letterboxing.

Presumably nobody here has such a camera.

  • Panasonic network cameras no longer work with new versions of Firefox.

    I have been viewing my Panasonic Network camera, model BB-HCM381A using Firefox for several years.
    Starting with Firefox version 15.0.1 and again with 16.0.1, 16.0.2 and 17.0.1 the browser begins to display the streaming video, but then drops the signal after maybe 20 seconds. Refreshing the page brings back the image for another 20 seconds, and then drops it again.
    All previous versions of Firefox before version 15.0.1 worked great. Now I have to use Internet Explorer exclusively. It would be great if you could fix the problem.
    Example of viewing the streaming video can be found at www.bandon.tv, which may require installing a plug-in from Panasonic.

    I see the same happen, but it takes longer. It is possible that the server gets too many visitors and drops some of them. A right click and "This Frame > Reload This Frame" also works. I also notice that frames get blocked (it skips seconds), so you may need a faster server.

  • HT3481 Panasonic TZ40 camera, single video import problem

    Connecting my new Panasonic TZ40 camera by cable to my iMac (lion OS- iMovie 11) uploads stills OK but video is a problem, the camera format is AVCHD. A single video uploads 9 separate files - see below - and without the audio sound track.
    .MTS .CPI .CPI .MPL .TDT .TID .BDM .BDM .DAT
    The .MTS has a big memory (the others are very small) and will play in VLC player I have on my Mac, but without sound. I tried running it through a video convertor software which converts it successfully to AVI without audio, as you would expect because the original has no sound in the .MTS file.
    I was aware that Mac did not readily support AVCHD in the past but was assured by the Camera shop that it was now OK - which it plainly is not. Is there an easy workaround without losing the HD quality, or would I be wise to take it back to the camera shop and choose another camera manufacturer that is more compatible with a Mac, if so what make would other members recommend.
    My previous camera was a Samsung which recorded AVI files which I uploaded and was able to import into iMovie without any problems.

    I have sorted the sound issue, it was an unrelated problem to the Panasonic TZ40 recording.
    However, I think there may be a misunderstanding of the importing of the video/movie from the camera. I import the camera stills and video/movies directly into a computer folder through the Adobe Bridge 'Get images from camera' icon. I do not want to import video/movies directly into iMovie as I do not always need to edit them imediatly (if at all sometimes) and I prefer the originals to be in a folder. I have tried settings of 50 and 50i but still get the same results.
    I have converted the .MTS file to a .AVI (and other formats) which iMovie successfully opens, but the .MTS file at 100MB is reduced to 50MB in .AVI and others. My concern is that one of the reasons I bought this camera was for its HD1920 video/movie, if the pre edited conversion is going to reduce the quality then the camera does not do what I asked of the seller.
    Basically if I cannot make use of the HD1920 facility in this camera then I need another make which will import an HD1920 video/movie in a format that Mac can hold in a folder and iMovie can import at that quality. If anyone has any recommendations I would be glad to hear them.

  • Does Photoshop Elements support raw files from the Panasonic GH3 camera?

    Does Photoshop Elements support raw files from the Panasonic GH3 camera?

    Yes, if you have PSE 11 (not the mac app store version). You will need to go to Help>Updates in the editor to update ACR to 7.3.

  • Trouble importing from P2 card from Panasonic HPX300 camera

    I shot footage on a Panasonic HPX300 camera and when I choose Log and Transfer to get the footage from my P2 card, the warning message: "AVC-Intra codec not found" comes up. The tech support people told me over the phone that FCP isn't recognizing the camera that I shot on. However, there is already footage that has been shot, imported, and edited using the same camera and method as I am trying to do. Can anyone tell me if I am missing an important setting or step when trying to log and transfer the info?

    You have to download and install Panasonic's AVC-Intra Software Decoder for Mac from here:
    https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/desk/e/download.htm
    Be sure to check out some of the other downloads available there too. You might have to confirm that Final Cut, when importing using Log and Transfer, is converting the AVC-Intra into Apple Pro-Res, as Final Cut is not AVC-Intra native-- at least, not in Final Cut Pro 6. Supposedly in Final Cut 7, it supposed to edit AVC-Intra natively.

  • Can a Panasonic HD Camera be used with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2

    Can a Panasonic HD Camera be used with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 instead of my Laptop webcam.

    yes it can but you need an in/out device to "link" the HDMI output from your HD camera to your computer via, USB or firewire
    BlacMagic sell those, Matrox and AJA are some of the other brands on the market.

  • Is FCE HD compatible with Panasonic GS400 and GS500 camcorders?

    After trawling web page after web page I can't seem to get a definitive answer on whether or not FCE HD (not FCP) is compatible with the Panasonic GS400 and the newer GS500 camcorder. I just bought the 500 in Japan and I'm now panicking that I won't be able to use it with FCE HD, which I'm yet to buy. Can anybody give me a "yes" or a "no" rather than a "maybe/probably"?
    Cheers,

  • Trouble connecting to remote Panasonic IP cams w/ iPhone- port issues

    Cannot connect remotely to camera DVR with the iPhone due to Java Applet issues not supported by Apple. I also cannot connect to the home panasonic IP cameras because the error "Not allowed to use restricted network port" appears. In order to connect to the cameras remotely I must enter the port number after the local IP address, and is not allowing me to do that. Any expert out there? Example of a connecting address: http;// 95.242.228.177:80 (80 being the port).
    Message was edited by: CDTX

    Are you using a specific application to connect or trying to go through Safari?
    You may need to use an app that connects to IP cameras.
    You can search the app store and search "video camera" or "webcam"

  • Panasonic C210 camera new smtp server problem

    I am getting email notification from verizon about switching from old outgoing.verizon.net to new smtp.verizon.net. But my Panasonic C210 camera stopped sending motion detection emails after I switched to the new smtp setting at port 465 as suggested.
    I originally used outgoing.verizon.net at port 587 and it worked great.
    Does anyone have similar problem?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for the reply.
    The setting on my camera for old server outgoing.version.net works just fine. But I am getting email notices 3 times alresady, asking to switch to new server. So I guess verizon is closing down the old server soon.
    I've switched to new server smtp.verizon.net on all my other devices with no problem at all, including 3 macs, two iPads and 2 iPhones. The camera is the only device that won't take new recommanded setting.

  • .MTS files from Panasonic GH2 camera show noise artifacts

    If I load .MTS media files from my Panasonic GH2 camera onto the timeline of Premiere Pro CS6 (Win7 on PC) on some footage I get a wierd noise/artifact appearing in the footage on playback and also if i render the timeline out.
    The artifacts look like a 'rain' of digital noise appearing in certain dark areas of the footage (issue doesn't happen on well lit scenes)
    If I use Media Player Classic to play back the .MTS footage outside of PP CS6 the footage plays back 100% ok.
    If I transcode the .MTS files into DNxHD format using Adobe Media Encoder the problem persists.
    However ....if I transcode the .MTS files into DNxHD format using a 3rd party transcoder (5DtoRGB) the problem is resolved and the DNxHD files work 100% ok in PP CS6
    It is as though both PP CS6 and also Adobe Encoder are not interpretting the .MTS file structure ok (?) and introducing artifacts.
    It seems that some dev work is needed to resolve the handling of .MTS files by Adobe (?)
    Can anyone please assist?
    Thanks

    Hi guys.  Just wanting to pitch in here as I found this post and I am having exaclty the same problems.  Here is my post today on Creative Cow.  It appears to be a problem with the Mainconcept filers used by PP which needs to be fixed.  I got thhat information from this post and my post follows:
    http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/5120/please-help-problem-with-my-gh2-footage/p2  post near the bottom by "willyfan".
    Here is my experience.
    The problem is rain like artifacts on GH2 MTS files when viewed and exported from PP CS6 (I haven't tried but apparently cs5.5 was the same). I have taken some clips and you can view them with the links at the bottom of this post. The rain like effect builds up over 1 second then disappears then builds again cyclically every 1 second. Guessing this is GOP related??
    If you view the original material in VLC the first second shows the effect then it disappears and you just have the normal background noise but no obvious cycling rain. I have tried both stock 1.1 GH2 firmware and with higher bit rate set via ptools but the effect is the same even with stock firmware.
    Import into PP and you can see it on source and program monitor, it does not show if you set the monitors to half res. However the export does show the effect.
    If I transcode the MTS via FFMBC to prores the prores files plays fine from the vert start, shows fine in PP when imported and exports fine too.
    So this relates to some sort of comparability issue between PP (and AE I am told) and the GH2 MTS files.
    If anyone else has come across this can you tell me how you resolved it. Obviously I can pre convert to prores prior to import the PP but that negates the huge advantage of native support on the PP timeline and wastes a lot of time.
    Files below of 2 sec clip if you want to have a look but any ideas guys?
    Cheers

  • Having trouble importing photos from Panasonic Lumix cameras. No error message 1 just has spinning ball, other can import using menu but ends with spinning ball. using 9.1.5 Mac OSX10.6.8. Have to restart to access iphoto

    Hi I am trying to import photos into iPhoto using two Panasonic cameras both Lumix (DMC TZ3 and DMC FZ30). Worked in the past no problem, I upgrade system when prompted and am running Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 9.1.5.  When I attach cable from camera to Mac with the DMC TZ3 I get the spinning ball and nothing else and have to force quite and restart to access iphoto again without the spinning ball, with the DMC FZ30, when I plus in the cable I get an icon on the desktop and can go into iphoto and import the photos that way.  When the photos have been imported I get the spinning ball again and have to restart the Mac to access iphoto without the spinning ball.  Photos do import though.
    Can anyone help, a really stupid, non-techie person who has no idea what she is doing, please?
    Thank you

    Try use a different cable.
    Regards

  • Panasonic network cameras no longer respond appropriately

    I am running 6 Panasonic wireless network cameras. 2 at this location attached to home network, and 4 at remote locations. Although the sound has never worked with Firefox, all other actions have worked perfectly until recently when the remote locations ceased to respond to motion commands. (The two on my home network continue to work normally) . If I switch to Internet Explorer, all work appropriately but I prefer to use Firefox if I can get them to work again. The cameras are Panasonic BL-C131A and Panasonic BL-C230A. I have tried disabling plugins etc but no help. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Additional information:
    I am looking at the same image at a remote location through two browser windows - Firefox and Internet Explorer. The images are being up dated on both with MJPEG - settings on both browsers the same. The Internet Explorer image updates in real time appropriately, but the Firefox does not. So it appears to be that for some reason, the MJPEG is not updating in Firefox at the remote location (it works on home network). This is a recent onset since all worked a month or so ago. Thanks.

  • Updated Windows to 8.1 and now Premiere Elements does not see my Panasonic video camera as source

    Is anyone else having issues due to the updated Windows 8.1?  I have a panasonic digital video mini casset camera that worked fine using a USB cable to upload video.  Now the program will not see the camera as a source.  Using a firewire is not an option and was not an issue in the past.
