Panasonic HDC-Z10000 Professional 3D Camcorder and AVCHD3D

I bought Panasonic HDC-Z10000 Professional 3D Camcorder. Format of shooting of AVCHD3D. Video from the camera is imported to the 2D. How to import the 3D?

I just bought two Canon HG10 AVCHD camcorder. I'll be using them for a few Smashing Pumpkins concerts in Philly in the next several days.
Here's what I found out so far just playing with them for 20 minutes.
AVCHD + iMove '08 or Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 /= PowerPC
It's not going to work on a PowerPC Mac.
Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 says:
Warning:
AVCHD media is unsupported on PowerPC based hardware.
iMovie '08 says:
AVCHD Device not supported
An Intel-based Macintosh is required to capture AVCHD video; try changing your camcorder settings to standard definition.
I didn't buy this camcorder for standard def. I did not bother trying that option.
It worked on my Intel MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro 6.0.1. I don't have iMovie installed on there so I didn't try it.
I recorded a clip about a minute long, 01:01:13 to be exact. I put
the camcorder in USB mode and it mounts on my PowerPC and Intel Mac's
without installing any software.
Going through the file structure I find
/Volumes/CANON_HDD/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00000.MTS
MTS = MPEG Transport Stream
That file is 119.6 mb.
I can get the .MTS to play in VLC Media Player but it crashes after a few seconds.
Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 has no idea what to do with .MTS files. When dragging to the bin I get File error: unknown type. You have to go to File > Log And Transfer. Not File > Log And Capture like you
normally would to capture a tape.
From there it transcodes the .MTS file using the Apple ProRes 422 codec. This takes time and makes your nice little 119.6mb file about EIGHT times as big. The file is 929.3 mb! One gigabyte for one minute! It's 24p and 1080 x 1920 though.

  • 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
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2380085&ts%20tart=0
    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

  • Panasonic HDC-MDH1 AVCHD

    I am planning on purchasing two Panasonic HDC-MDH1 cameras for weddings and events. These cameras record in AVCHD ; MPEG4-AVC/H.264 (AVCHD standard compliant) as the supplier says. Is this compatible with Adobe Premiere?
    I have read some threads that said that it is not really supported by Premiere and can use some advice.
    Thank you.
    Jonah

    Ok guys, I am not too good of an expert here. So I hope you can bare with me on this.
    I am gonna be shooting weddings mostly with these cams. Actually, it is the price that was very tempting being around $1000. My other option is Canon XF100 which should be around double that price. Anyway here are my questions:
    1. Should I go for Panasonic or Canon XF100?
    2. Knowing that I might need to deliver on BluRay, what resolution should I shoot at? 1080p, 1080i, or 720p or any other res? Compatibilty with PP is important.
    3. Saying I did go for Panasonic which shoots in AVCHD, what format can I convert my footage to, and which converter should I use so I can maintain as much quality as I can?
    I am a PC uder with windows 8 Premiere 6.
    Again, thank you all for the feedback and the time.

  • IDVD and Panasonic HDC-HS200 Camcorder

    I have just bought a Panasonic HDC-HS200 camcorder and recorded some clips of the kids, transferred it to iMovie09, edited it and shared via iDVD, then burned a DVD - however when I play the DVD there are a small portion, on both right and left side missing - it fills up the TV screen, however something is missing - can anyone help

    sounds like you messed up the settings somewhere along the line ... but as I noted, this is not an iMovie or iDVD forum so who the heck knows what setting it was and where to look to fix it? unfortunately I don't ... anyone got some iDVD / iMovie skills and want to help our poster?
    perhaps try posting in the right forum?

  • Panasonic HDC-SD9 AVCHD Camcorder and FCE4

    Hi
    What are the best settings for using my Panasonic HDC-SD9 AVCHD Camcorder for FCE4. I ma based in the UK so would use PAL over NTSC.
    I am looking for the best overall settings for a clean good quality image.
    Thanks for all your help
    RC

    Thanks - what about image stablization and the other features the camera has.
    I'd like it to be a bit point and shoot ideally - also are you aware of any good camera stablization equipment that is compact and not ridiculously expensive for use with this camera - I'd love to get really smooth video footage.

  • FYI: iMovie and Panasonic HDC-SD5

    FYI,
    I just purchased the Panasonic HDC-SD5 which supports 1920x1080 or 1080P. I recorded clip with the HG1920 setting (1080P). I then imported the clip into iMovie and added it to a project. When I play the movie everything is oblong. (A circle appears as a oval.) I then recored a clip at 1080i, imported it and everything looks correct.
    It appears that iMovie does not currently support 1080P using a AVCHD camcorder.
    Does anyone know if Final Cut Express supports 1080P?

    You may find some of the information in my other thread useful... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1131966&tstart=0
    I believe the SD5 is 1080i and not 1080p. If you look at the imported file you will most likely notice it is not 1920x1080. It is now 2560x1080. If your record in one of the 1440 modes on the camera you will see the 1440x1080 is imported as 1920x1080 and therefore everything does not look stretched. I have not been able to determine if it is a bug of Apple or Panasonic.
    I assume you will see the same thing with FCE since I do see the same behavior with Final Cut Pro.
    You are correct that currently the 1080i SD5 is not supported. I would assume that it will be added to the support list soon. At least that is my hope.
    For now I have been playing with the 1920x1080 mode and editing with the stretched imports. Then I just share using Quicktime and change the size to 1920x1080. It seems to be working well. The picture quality is still very nice.
    Hope that info helps.

  • Is the Panasonic HDC SD 90 camcorder compatible with Final Cut Pro X

    Is the Panasonic HDC SD camcorder compatible with FCP X?

    Seems to me that the software on an apple system has not caught up to where it could be for this camera, unless i'm mistaken.
    Nor Adobe, nor Avid. Nor any makers of DVD players, BluRay, HD DVD. Nor broadcasters who air shows. Nor web formats.
    60p isn't a format that is mastered either. Not to tape, not broadcast over the air, not a format you encode to BluRay or regualr DVD...not a web format. So why you'd shoot a format that you can't even deliver...seems pointless. 1080 is either 23.98fps, or 29.97fps. It is 720p that is 59.94fps...but that is used rarely. But that is the only 60 frame format that has output and airable options.

  • How do you download SDHC files from Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder to a MAC

    i bought a panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder.  when i try to download files from the SDHC memory card, i only see
    a still photo and it appears i cannot download files onto my MAC.  the manual for this camcorder tells me that
    i cannot download files from a SDHC memory card except onto a PC.  however i am in a remote area and i do
    not have access to a PC--only a MAC laptop.

    I am also new to Firefox. From Firefox start screen click the add-ons icon. In the search box at top right type in " music downloads " and click the magnifying glass - many options will appear by clicking on the blue " more " of each option you will receive additional info. Hope this helps, I have used the Flash Video Downloader add-on with great results.

  • Basic instructions for MAC for Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder?

    Could someone please give step-by-step instructions of how to upload videos and pictures from a Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder to a MAC OS X? I downloaded Quicktime 7 Pro, but I still can't figure it out. I'm pretty NON-tech savvy, as you can tell, and now have 3 memory cards to upload. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP!

    DCIM is a common folder name for digital images not videos. You should find actual photos in the DCIM folder or sub-folders of this DCIM folder, somewhere, with the usual JPG extension.
    Without going into impossible detail there will be folders for stills and folders for videos on the SD cards in this type of camera.
    You need to use iMovie , part of iLife 09 (which you buy not download). The issue with the videos is that there are data files (large video files) and there are index type files on the card.
    The index files describe the videos start and stop times and where they are. They do this because usually the video file can get only so large (say 1 or 2GB)then a new video file is started. But that video file might have two or three clips on it and even may have a clip that started in one file and ends in a new file.
    With me so far? So the indexes sort all this out. iMovie can read these indexes and import the clips by using the index to find each separate clip even if there are several on one card.
    Quicktime is the wrong program and I am not sure that it can even read the raw video files and frankly if it could I think you'd be better served with a program that manages the process for you.
    MPEG Streamclip MIGHT open the video files and it can string them together, allow basic trimming and editing and exporting to a Quicktime or iPod type format but that may be too daunting to explore. If you want to try, drag one of the big video files to the desktop and open or try to in MPEG Streamclip - if it opens then you can export to MPEG-4 and press an iTunes button and pick an ipod device and get a little stand alone movie.

  • Panasonic hdc-tm700p camcorder

    I just got a panasonic hdc-tm700p camcorder that supposedly gets great video. I have lots of experience with FCP (version 7.0.2), but I can't figure out how to get video into FCP from my new camcorder, (and the panasonic support web site was not helpful) any suggestions??

    What is AJA and where are the drivers for their capture cards
    www.aja.com
    They are capture cards. And the drivers are on their website under SUPPORT.
    I have the Panasonic TM-700K but I can't manage to get the 1080 60p footage into Final Cut without externally converting to another file.
    Because it is a new camera format. Give Apple time. Companies announce new cameras all the time, and then just expect the NLEs to catch up. This is the danger of getting new cameras.

  • Choice of camcorder: Canon Legria HF G10 vs Panasonic HDC-TM700?

    Some advice pls:
    Would like to update my camcorder - to a prosumer quality (or high end consumer).
    I use FCP X (and love it) but am torn between
    Canon Legria HF G10
    or,
    Panasonic HDC-TM700
    Any advice? 
    I currently use the SD-9 Panasonic, and am not happy with low-light shots (way too Lossy).  Has compression technology improved in the last 3 years, or will I be disappointed with either of the above model's approach to compression?
    Thanks
    Rob

    The SD-9 is a fine little camera from several years back.  Its claim to fame was its small size and early use of SD cards.  I think its highest bit rate was only about 15Mbps however.  The G10 uses a bigger sensor, much more advanced compression processing.  Honestly, when I have clips from my pro Sony HVR-Z5U HD camcorders on the timeline next to clips from the G10, it is very hard to tell the difference.  The G10 is actually much more color accurate than the pro Sonys.
    Furthermore, the G10 is a breeze to connect to the computer and use the Import from Camera in FCP X.  The G10 comes with 32GB built in with two SD slots to go beyond that.  I also have the HF M41 that uses the same sensor and has 2 SD card slots, but I never even have to use SD cards on the G10 unless I want to add them.  It has a automatic relay mode that goes to the next storage SD slot when it has filled up the previous one.  Thus you can use the internal 32 GB with a couple of other 32GB SD cards to get over 12 hours of the highest quality (24Mbps) video recorded.  You can even specify to record to both SD cards at the same time so you have an automatic backup of your work. 
    Check out the detail on that review site I gave you.  It's the best ... I'm not a cheerleader for it ... just stating the facts.  I am very, very impressed.  One of the best buys I have ever made in video work.  Best wishes.

  • HT5148 I wish to purchase a Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder - will I have any problems with FCPX

    It is my intention to buy a new camcorder and am thinking of a Panasonic HDC-TM900 but I have read is some of the reviews that there are some problems in downloading into FCPX.  Is this camera a good purchase or is there a better alternative at around £650. (in uS dollars I would guess at about $1000)

    I have a similar model and it works OK with FCP X.
    HDC-SDT750.
    Top camera to use.

  • IMovie 08 and Panasonic HDC-SD5 Camera

    Hi Folks I have a Mac (lol), i have a Panasonic High Definition Camera and i have a problem. I connect the camera, i import the clip on my macintosh hd and i create my dvd with iDVD. But when I see my dvd i see that the video is ginned, with a very low quality. Why???
    Info: Mac OS X 10.5.6 on MacBook 3.1 with 2.2 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 2 Gb of RAM and Intel GMA X3100 graphic card.
    Panasonic HDC-SD5 with 3CCD and high resolution (Full HD 1920x1080). It recorded with the AVCHD format.
    Thank you!!

    If you have a PC and the generic software that comes with the camera you can as well.
    If iMovie 08 can import high definition video can it not output it on its own as AVCHD (AVC/H.264 - MPEG4) to DVD?

  • What is the best way to transfer video from a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder on to a DVD using iDVD?

    I am trying to get my Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder to transfer video over to a DVD using iDVD.  The iDVD wants the firewire connection to be used,  No mini USB to firewire line exists.  Any help?

    iDVD is part of the iLife suite of apps.
    in this collection, iMovie is the 'importer', esp. via usb from AVCHD-devices like yours.
    plus editor, I mostly doubt, you haven't to 'clean' here&there your recordings
    from there you 'share' to iDVD.
    you'll notice a loss of quality in this process due to  cam is HDef, any videoDVD is always SDef .....
