Panasonic HDC-HS900 connect to iMac and iMovie or Final Cut Pro

How do you connect (I know its USB - But camcorder only gives option of PC),  and import video from Panasonic HDC-HS900 ?
Are there any other video (eg. Sony) that have similar problems.
Thanks

This discussion would be helpful if you want to edit 1080 60P video in Imovie

Another great resource for forcing Imovie to accept 50/60P content (Imovie defaults to 25 or 30P depending on if your using NTSC or PAL) is this page
http://ianperegian.com/My_FZ35_38_Webpage/Edit_1080_50p_and_burn_a_disk.html
There are a few steps to take but I can confirm that IMovie 8 works well with this method and I shoot,edit, use and burn Blu Ray compatible 50P (I'm using a PAL camera) content all the time with my HDC-HS900

    If you purchase Final Cut Pro X at the Mac App Store, you can install it in all your Macs free of charge as many times as you want. The same applies for all the applications you purchase at the Mac App Store

  • Hi. Does anyone know what video editing software is compatible with my MacBook - version 10.6.3? I am looking to edit films and already have Final Cut Pro, but am looking for something a little more basic and easier to use. Thanks. Vicki

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

  • Transfer clips and projects from final cut pro x trial to final cut pro x

  • Problem finding my sound effects and music in final cut pro X

    I am having a problem finding my sound effects and music in final cut pro X.  I just bought a new i
    Mac, because my Mac pro died.  when I was using the mac pro, I had final cut Pro X loaded, and in the Music and sound library, I had stock tracks from APM music that came with final cut.  now that I have loaded final cut to my new computer, I do not see those tracks.  Am I missing something?

    The FCP X sound effects were an additional external download and were not kept in the FCP X application.
    You probably need to re-download them.
    In the FCP menu at the top left of your screen you will see the download link.

  • 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? 

  • I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

      I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

    My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine.  The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart.  I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky.  I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe.  My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.

  • IMovie nor Final Cut Pro will import video from camcorder

    Both iMovie 10.0.5 and the Final Cut Pro Trial I just downloaded (to test before purchasing) will not import my movie.  The movie plays on my camcorder and it plays in both iMovie and Final Cut but when I click to import, a message appears in the top right corner that reads:  NO DATA FROM DEVICE.
    Once again, the movie plays on the camera AND plays on the screen.  But there is nothing recorded into an event and no file / data transferred to the computer.
    I searched the support forums and tried a freeware named DEBUT.  It worked but the video playback was very poor, scratchy and blurry.  
    Processor 3.5 GHz  Intel Core i7
    Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    OSX 10.9.5
    Camera Sony DCR-TRV460  (8MM, Digial 8, Hi8 tapes)
    Firewire 4 pin to Firewire 800 cable, into Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor, into iMac.
    How do I get these old tapes into iMovie or Final Cut for editing?

    I don't think I can help with your Digital 8 directly into iMovie 10.0.5 or FCPX, but try a few work-arounds.
    Try copying iMovie'09 from old to new Mac via a memory stick or external HD. It is only 250 MB.
    This still may not work on the new Mac as it may be an issue with Digital 8/Mavericks combination. Any way if you can get iMovie 09 onto new Mac ,give it a try.
    OR
    Buy an external HD and transfer some data onto this to free up some space on your MacBook.
    Then use your MacBook /iMovie 09 to import to Events onto your external HD.
    Connect external HD to new Mac and import the  DV files in Media of iMovie 09 into FCPX.
    A word of caution!
    When the files are imported into FCPX from the Media in iMovie 09 check to see if files are copied or just referenced.
    If they are copied then you can delete them from iMovie 09, if they are referenced then you must not delete from 09.
    You can normally tell: if copied then it takes a while to transfer,If referenced then done almost immediately.
    My guess is ,they will be copied, but check.
    The above is a bit messy but may get you moving with your new Mac.
    Buying a new Mac is an expensive way of overcoming an overloaded HD on the MacBook. Cheaper to buy an external HD.
    This may be useful;
    How can i move or copy projects and events to an external drive? (Version 9 and earlier)
    Someone may be able to suggest a fix for Digital 8 into FCPX directly.

  • IMac to TV for Final Cut Pro

    I'm a newbie so forgive my ignorance.
    I have a mid 2010 iMac and I would like to hook it to my HD insignia TV to view playback for Final Cut content.
    I just need to know which method is the best (VGA, Mini DV, Hdmi, etc)
    What cords &  adapters do I need?
    I'm running OS X mountain Lion with Final Cut Pro X.

    Oh. I also have a Cakewalk US-25 EX 24bit 96 kHz sound card too.

  • Multiple Color Screens in iMovie or Final Cut Pro?

    So I am doing some video editing for a project at school. I am using a green screen as a background. I wrapped some things in blue duct-tape in order to blue-screen them. Is there anyway I can use both a blue screen and a green screen in one clip? I have iMovie and Final Cut Pro. I am new to Final Cut Pro so I am not 100% sure about all of its features. If these programs cannot, are there any movie editing programs that do? Thanks for your time. My goal is to have a green screened background while blue screening fake swords and stuff to make them look "light-sabery".

    does your hardware fullfill the min. specs. for any of both apps...?
    and, why not FCE4 .. 199$?
    socalled Ken Burns Effect/KB is done more intutive (=convenient) in iM.. have a look: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie-making-29
    soundtracks.. 'options' are limited in iM08, but as owner of iM08 you're allowed a free download of iMHD6.. which offers 2.5 audio tracks..
    zoom-in is part of KB..
    fade=transition .. iM08, iMHD6, FCP/E...
    +mix video with a still in one corner or vica versa+ no in iMHD6, yepp in iM08, for sure in FCE/P
    what is your delivery media...? DVD quality is in iM08 less than in others apps.. therefor, integration into .mac is in iM08 better..
    consider usage of a 3rd party, specialized app as Photo2Movie or PhotoMagico..

  • Emoji appear as black and white in Final Cut Pro X

    Using the Character Viewer in OSX Mavericks, I was able to put some colorful emoji into one of my films in FCPX. 
    I moved the project to a new computer and now the emoji will only show up in black and white!  I can't adjust the colors or the font settings, or anything to get the emoji to appear in color again!
    Same project, different computer, different emoji.  I have looked across my settings and preferences and I can't figure out why this is happening.  Anyone else have any suggestions or experiences here?
    Thanks,

    Yes - thanks, good question Tom.  I have Apple Color Emoji installed and active. I was just able to drag a full-color emoji into iMessages. 
    When I drag an emoji into a text-line in Final Cut Pro, I get the emoji looking regular in color in the inspector, but the emoji is grayscale in the previewer :-/  Here's a picture:

  • How can I automate log and capture in Final Cut Pro

    Does anyone know of a way to schedule the log and capture of video in Final Cut Pro with a script or software application, so that it doesn't have to be done manually?
    I am using a capture card in my Mac to record college lectures for our department and it's not always possible for me to be there to start the capture. Our lectures occur on a regular schedule.
    I am a new Mac user and I'm also new to Final Cut Studio 2. Thanks for any help on this topic!

    In Automator, all the apps you can automate are listed in the far left hand pane. Click on the QT Player icon there to see the "Actions" available for it. In that list you should see "New Video Capture" and "Start Capture". First drag "New Video Capture" to the big pane on the right, where you assemble your workflow. Then drag the "Start Capture" action beneath that. You're basically done.
    How to Save and Schedule this can be found in the Automator Help, when you search on "iCal":
    1. Choose File menu > Save As Plug-in.
    2. Choose iCal from the "Plug-in for" pop-up menu.
    3. Click Save. Automator opens iCal and creates an event that calls the workflow at the scheduled time.
    4. Name your event and set the date and time for the workflow to run using the pop-up menus in the info drawer.
    You'll need to do another "workflow" to Stop the recording. All you need is the "Stop Record" action in the workflow - then save the same way as listed above.
    Just note - I've used this process before and the QT movie generated, despite being recorded as "Camera Native" - was not editable in FCP. In fact, I don't even think I could import the final QT into FCP - let alone edit it. If editing's necessary maybe someone else can offer up another step to enable it. It was not necessary for my exact application, so I never explored it.
    Good luck.

  • Can I use motion 5 and Compressor with Final Cut Pro 7?

    Hi, Guys and Girls:
    After reading a lot about the new Final Cut X I decided not to buy it. I´m not gonna say anything about it, pretty much everything has been said so there´s no point in being redundant about it.
    So my question is this:
    Can I use the new version of Motion and Compressor with the old Final Cut Pro 7?
    I heard the new version of Motion is nice, not so sure about the new Compressor but any improvement would be nice.
    Thanks in advance.
    Daniel Sametz.

    Anyone?
