Panasonic HMC70P AVCHD import problem

I searched through the forum and found loads of problems importing AVCHD into FCE which is rather disconcerting.
I have a brand new Panasonic HMC70P AVCHD. I tried to import using Log and Transfer. All the scenes on the SDHC card appeared nicely on the top portion of this window. When I dragged a scene down to the lower portion to start the transfer, it lasted a few second then stop, the status shows "error: no data" and the imported scene was not usable.
The same scenes can be imported to iMovie without any problem.
Can any one help?

Sorry, I searched the forum but I don't think I found the one you are referring to. Can you give me a link?
I tried to either import directly from the SDHC card or download first to hard drive but both failed. I used Log and Transfer and drag the clip to the bottom part of the window. The transfer seemed to be starting but no progress in the progress bar and it stopped in a few second. Then the status became "error: no data". This is a Dual Quad Cord Intel Xeon. The hard drive is the one that came with the computer, formated as Mac OS Extended.
The SDHC card was connected thru a reader.

  • Panasonic SD1 AVCHD Import Causes iMovie 08 To Crash

    When I connect my SD1 to my iMac, it is recognized fine. Next, I go into iMovie08. It recognizes there's a camera, but as it is attempting to import, iMovie08 crashes ("Application ended unexpectedly"). Any ideas? Last time I had this problem I spent a week with Apple Tech support and it cleared up (they either suggested security changes, or else some setting in disk utility I believe). It worked for awhile and now is happening again.
    Any help would be Greatly appreciated, as I have a training video to post to the web. BTW, I am new to this forum and to iMac.
    Thanks!

    I am quite confused why you keep saying to read your post. If you would kindly read all of mine, I have previously done everything you suggested, as these are the preliminary things to ck out. I did so before posting my question. What is it in your post that you want me to see? I believe everyone with import issues in IM08 knows to try straight from camera, and to try this both before and after cranking up IM08. I think I've made it clear that I have done this. The only update I have here is that I verified that no photos are on the card, therefore no iPhoto involvement here. I have checked for software updates a million times, plus even re-installed iLife08 followed by software updates. Nothing changes. If you have any useful advice, OTHER than to re-read your post, which has nothing in it I haven't already done, I would really enjoy seeing any suggestion you have. I am sure it is either some converter/codec file somewhere or some security setting. But, since I am relatively new to iMac I am not sure where to look other than System Prefs.
    Do you have any suggestions? Please don't ask me to read your post again...Perhaps if you read mine, I could get help. I need to get this video on the web, like, a week ago. Another few days and it will all be down the drain.

  • AVCHD import problem, Video speed is FAST!

    When previewing the clips in the bin PRIOR to importing, everything looks great, and both Audio & Video run at realtime speed, but AFTER importing, the VIDEO is running at what appears to be 200%, audio is perfect... Help, please!

    I'm having the same problem. I've imported video without a problem before, but now the video speed after import is probably 4x faster.
    I'm using a Sony DCR-PC101 with a firewire connection. The camera uses Mini-DV.
    As Jesse Boy says the preview runs at normal speed. When viewing the LCD monitor on the camera while importing its running at normal speed.
    Is there a setting I can adjust in iMovie to fix this?

  • P2 import problems

    HELP! I am having terrible import issues with P2 media. I am using FCS 5.1.4 on both a powerbook and a DP G5. Random clips will not import into FCP. You can scrub through the clips, but they won't load. I have tried several other import programs like P2 genie, and Panasonic's P2 import, but neither have any effect.
    We tried loading the clips into a PC running Vegas, and had no problem importing. All of the clips were fine. None of this makes sense to me. Why can I scrub thought the clip in FCP, but it won't load? Anyone else had this issue and found a solution?
    Advice Welcome.

    Well, you can always download (for a small fee) RAYLIGHT and installing that. That will allow FCP to edit the MXF files WITHOUT having to import them.
    If you want though, you can try a couple things, like in the Import prefs (sprocket in the import BROWSER window...option is called PREFERENCES) you can UNCHECK "remove pulldown" and see if that helps. And trying one at a time works sometimes.
    But Raylight is nifty....

  • P2 import problem - solved but still mysterious

    I posted yesterday about my P2 files that had imported before but suddenly did not - with that scary "incomplete or corrupt file" message.
    I keep a cloned backup of my OS and all software on another drive that can be "cloned" back into my main drive. (great software- Carbon Copy Cloner - downloadable shareware, but leave the kind creator a donation.) It takes time to clone everything but not nearly as long as starting from scratch with disks, numbers and a zillion fixes and updates. Just be very careful to save everything like user files and desktop stuff.
    Now, starting again with the pre-problem "cloned" osx and fcp, which are back to 10.4.6 and 5.0.4, the P2 files are importing perfectly again. So clearly the problem was not "incomplete or currupt" files, but some mysterious software glitch that occured in OSX or FCP? If anybody has any thoughts, I would love to dig deeper into this mystery in case it happens again. Meanwhile, if you are told that your P2s are "incomplete or corrupt" and you haven't messed with the locks or txt file at all, don't despair. Wouldn't it be nice to get an error message that said "Whoops - no idea what's goin' wrong honey - but it ain't necessarily your fault"

    Hmmm...so the static isn't consistant?
    Try looking at the footage with something like the Panasonic P2CMS reader/importer:
    https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/sales_o/p2/cms/index.html
    Or try HD Log or P2 Log from www.imagineproducts.com. See if Raylight sees this (www.dvfilm.com - demo available).

  • LR3.2 import problem on computer with Windows OS

    LR3.2 import problem on Windows OS
    This is a continuation of a question that I posed on August 22, 2010 in the discussion string "Cannot import CR2".  I have not been able to resolve the issue of importing an image into an existing folder location.  I had not been able to work on this issue for a number of weeks due to other circumstances, until today.   Note that the following people had attempted to provide answers and suggestions already:  ssprengel, JayS In CT.
    I use a laptop with a Windows operating system and a Macintosh desktop with Snow Leopard.  I run Lightroom on both of them.  The Windows laptop has Windows Vista Home service pack 2, version 6.0 [6002].  Around August 12th I upgraded from Lightroom 2 [481478], to Lightroom 3 on the laptop.  I left the LR2 on the laptop as well as LR3.  On September 12th I upgraded the laptop to LR3.2.  No other changes have been to the laptop or its software applications that I know of.
    My current attempts at resolving the issue reveal that when I created a new catalog "Test Catalog" in LR3 and saved that catalog to my desktop new folder labeled "Test Catalog" that I can import an image into LR3.2 to a new folder on the laptop's desktop.  I then deleted the images via LR3.2 Folders Remove function and tried to import the images into an existing folder as presented in the LR3.2 Import dialog, but get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.".   When I import images into a new folder placed on the desktop, I can use all functions in LR3 e.g. Develop module.  I cannot import images into existing folders on the laptop's hard drive - I have tried importing into the entire existing folders in the following hierarchy:  c:\users\Michael\My Documents\My Pictures\2010  but always get the same error message.
    LR3.2 does correctly backups upon exiting each time I quit the program, so I know that there isn't any issue of writing to that backup folder which is contained in an upper folder that contains the lightroom catalogs.  I have even created a new Word file, saved it into the folder with Lightroom catalogs, opened it up, modified it, saved it, and saw that it works OK, so that tells me there is no problem with a Read-Only folder attribute.
    I cannot recall if upon the upgrade from LR2.6 to LR3 that I chose to upgrade the catalog to LR3 version.  Would that matter, if yes, what do I verify, how do I manual upgrade the catalog.
    History of actions between August 10th that I have taken follows between the [[[[ and ]]]]:  
    [[[[Preference settings for Default Catalog are set to start with a specific catalog that I call "Lightroom master catalog", it is not set to the "Load most recent catalog". 
    All of the following were using my laptop:  Previously I had no problem with LR2 for any functions.  I just purchased an Epson 7000 media storage device, and in early August and practiced importing images into LR2, and those images were pulled in OK. Next, I upgraded to LR3.  I discovered that the Epson's images had been placed into a wrong folder when I opened LR3.  I used the remapping function in LR3 to move the images into the correct folder.  Next, I used a SanDisk card reader to import images into LR3 into an existing folder of images, but the following error message appeared "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" (Import Results said  'some import operations were not performed').  I tried importing a single image, and multiple images, but had the same error.  I tried switching the card reader to each of 4 different USB port on the laptop, with the same error occurring on each USB port used.
    In order to try to isolate the problem.  I took the SanDisk card reader with the memory card and successfully imported the images into LR3 on my Macintosh desktop computer; so to me the problem is not the card reader or the memory card.  I also used the SanDisk recovery disk while using my laptop to look at the files on the memory card and I could see all the images correctly while in the recovery program, but I have not copied the images to the laptop's hard disk, and have not tried an import into the laptop's LR3.  I did not import images directly from my camera to the laptop LR3 since I did not think it would help with the troubleshooting. 
    I then ran the Repair from the Adobe LR3 CD upgrade disk, on my laptop.  Then I tried doing the import using the SanDisk reader and memory card, but the same problem occurred and same error message, that the files could not be imported (I was trying to import into a folder of existing images).  I then used the Laptop's Control Panel function to remove LR3 application.  Then I did a fresh upgrade of LR3 on my laptop, but the same error message and I am unable to do any import of the memory card from the card reader.  I then tried to do an image import from the Epson 7000 into the laptop, and the same error message and I am unable to do any import into a folder with existing images.   I then tried doing an image import into LR2 on the laptop, and got the same problem to occur when trying to import into an existing folder of images.  I have a couple of  Canon EOS SLR digital cameras, and the issue occurs for any of the file types of the cameras.
    Went into LR3 Preferences, General Tab, I now checked the previously unchecked box for Import Options - "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".
    Connected the Canon XTi directly with a cable to the laptop computer.  Note that Canon's information said that Picture Transfer Protocol is automatically used when the XTi is directly connected to a computer, so I did not need to change anything in the camera's menu for communications choices (there is no communication menu in fact).  I selected one image and copied it to the laptop desktop.  Tried to import it into LR3 into a folder of existing images but got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."  While in LR3, I changed the location of where the file would be copied into - any of my existing folders of images; tried 5 different folders, but kept getting the same error message.
    With the card reader connected via USB port on the laptop, I copied one image file to the desktop, and then tried importing into LR3 into a folder of existing images.  Got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."]]]]

    I am not clear if by 'import' you are trying to copy or move the files from a location to another or if you are adding the files to a catalog.  My comments may not, therefore, be too helpful.
    Firstly, with both LR2 and LR3 installed you will have both catalogs present, but if you try to open the LR2 catalog with LR3 you will be prompted to update the catalog.  You will thus know which catalog you are working on. 
    Secondly, if you are reading direct from the camera, you should connect using the 'PC connection' mode.
    Thirdly, there is an issue with reading .CR2 files directly from the early Canon DSLRs (in Europe named 300D, 350D, 400D).  While they are visible with the Canon software, they can not be seen with Windows explorer nor can they be accessed with Lightroom. 
    I suggest that you take the CF card out of the camera and copy the files using Windows Explorer in to the destination folder.  You are then sure that the files are on the PC.
    If you have the right Codec installed, you can view them with Windows photo gallery; if you don't, you can use one of the Canon software packages to view the files.  You are then sure that the files are not corrupted.
    Then import the files to your LR catalog using the normal import routine selecting 'add without moving'.  I have tried this routine  successfully using my 350D using both LR1.x and LR3.x.  If that doesn't work - I'm lost.

    No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

    Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

  • Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?

    Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?
    With a brand new Mac Pro and very latest Final Cut Studio complete with updates I'm having a little problem trying to import footage directly from a JVC GY-HD111E (yes I'm in PAL land, UK) via FireWire into FCP.
    Footage is 720p/25p and timeline is set up in FCP that way.
    I'm doing a 'capture now'. The first clip I'm trying to import is about 45 minutes long with no cuts/breaks whatsoever.
    What happens is after about 60 seconds or so, it FCP automatically breaks the clip for no reason and starts a new one, trouble is, when it does this I lose about 4 seconds of footage at that point.
    It continues to break clips randomly, sometimes after 40 seconds or so, sometimes after 95 seconds, but usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and each time it starts a new clip I lose between 1 and 6 seconds.
    As I say, there are zero breaks or cuts in this clip, I have a 45 minute clip that was shot in one take, not even a pause anywhere.
    Is this a JVC issue or a Final Cut issue?
    It's a pain as it simply means I can't import my 9 hours of footage hence I can't get on with this project.
    Any ideas why this phenomenon is happening?
    Thanks guys.

    I mean I get the same errors.
    Let me explain again.
    There are NO start/stop/pauses in this clip.
    I'm trying to import just ONE clip with no breaks, again, there are NO start/stop/pause, it is one continuous clip of 15 minutes duration.
    The JVC creates some sort of errors at the Firewire output stage, it drops frames or other errors, FCP gets confused and creates a new clip, even though it is the same clip, but due to the GoP structure, it looses a few seconds too hence I can't import the footage as I keep loosing bits here and there mid clip. It is randam, every 30 to 100 seconds or so it will do this.

    how to resolve AVCHD package problem in mountain lion

    Thanks, David. I know this workaround. And one more with creating right-click Service. That's why I've used "uncomfortable" instead of "impossible". In my opinion, Apple should leave ability to choose OS's behavior, and I hoped somebody knew where to find it .

    Ok, I've had this camera for about 3 years, I've made about 40 movies so far. Lately I'm really having a hard time getting the computer, Like I get real lucky if it recognizes. Right now I cannot so I am writing.
    I've been to the help and shut off camera and followed procedure etc. I've bought a new cord, no difference. It's seems the trouble started with HD but I'm not sure.
    It did work the other day when I pressed the reset button on the camera but this does not work now. I'm using the supplied power cord to camera so no low battery. Anybody else experince this problem. Sure could use some advice please.

    Hi S
    Reset Your FW-port.
    - disconnect the mains cord for about 10 - 30 minutes.
    Usually helps
    If not check of my list (at Your liking):
    Capture/Import problems:
    a) File-Vault is on - turn it off
    b) don’t Daisy chain camcorder - external hard disk - Mac
    c) Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
    d) Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
    e) Bad RAM-chips
    f) drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
    g) FW-wire cable OK?
    h) Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is prerecorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
    i) defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC !
    j) remove bookmarks in iMovie project
    k) Do You have desktop pictures or screen-savers active? Try turning them off.
    l) Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good)
      OS X.4.0-2 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
    m) Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first)
      QT v.7 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
    n) Have you tried the crazy fix:
    Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. (Sue/SDillini)

    Mac:
    - hardware
    ◊ Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
    ◊ I wonder how full your Mac's hard disc is. (David Babsky) A near full hard disk prevents Import/Capture.
    10% free is recommended + space for Import/Capture + work space (about 4 to
    5 times the amount needed for Capture) eg on a 200Gb hard disk You need 20Gb + (one hour tape)
    13Gb + 50Gb = about 80 to 90Gb free space.
    ◊ Disconnect all other ext devices (FW and USB) exept Camera (and keyboard + mouse) and try again

    ◊ Cheque FW connection at Mac end. OK?
    Camera:
    ◊ The Camera is set to VTR ? (not as when You ”film” record with it)
    ◊ You may be need to go to the Camera menu and select digital out.
    ◊ defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC ! (if the A/D chip in the camera is harmed then it will say in iMovie that the camera is connected and You can forward resp. backward the tape but there will be no picture or sound just the blue screen).

    NEWS: Jerry Harris writes:
    I know that in a lot of the new Sony HD cameras, iMovie requires that you turn i.Link Conv off. I would look for a similar setting for your camera. This setting has to do with shooting a movie in one format, and using the camera to import as a different format. For instance, if you shoot HD footage and have i.Link conv on - the camera will send DV to the computer etc...
    So, case in point: look for a setting on your camera that has to do with the video format and see if that helps.

  • Annoyed with JVC/Final Cut Pro import problem; will they ever fix this?

    Annoyed with Final Cut Pro JVC import problem; will they ever fix this?
    I've shot footage on JVC GY-HD111E in the UK in 720p/25p PAL mode.
    I'm trying to import lots of short clips (average 10 seconds) into Final Cut Pro (latest version with 720p/25p support) with a new Mac Pro maxed out with ram and 3 extra internal HDs.
    Problem is, on a scene-break i.e. pause/stop, Final Cut detects this and creates a new clip, but it takes about 5 seconds to 'searching for media" before it starts the new clip. Because some clips are only very short, this 5 second delay sometimes means I only get the final few frames of a clip, rather than the entire 5 seconds or so of it.
    JVC UK are blaming Apple and are saying it is up to them to fix it as Premiere and Edius does not have this problem.
    However, Symbiosis in the UK (who do HD-Connect box) say that the JVC ProHD cameras do not wrap the shots up properly at the end, they are kind of left open and this creates problems on scene-breaks.
    I've tried turning off the "create new clip on timecode break" etc, but it does not make any difference, when I do this it simply quits capturing on a scene break. Besides I have about 300 cutaways like this and I don't want to spend the rest of the year breaking them up on the timeline as this would be a futile and long workflow.
    I'm importing and working on a native HDV 720p/25p timeline and this is the way I want to work. I've already imported and edited 4 hours of footage, but these 4 hours were easy as all 4 tapes had no start/stop points, they were recorded continuously from beginning to end of tape for 64 minutes each time so importing was no problem; 1 clip per tape.
    But now I've come to my 5 tapes containing hundreds of cutaways I'm kind of screwed and need some advise on how I can import them natively in HDV without losing this 5 seconds off the beginning of each clip whilst FCP searches for the media each time.
    I've been told this issue is definately with FCP, any ideas how I can get around this?

    I haven't heard of this JVC/FCP problem, so I can't comment on it. However, whoever shot the cutaways didn't do you, the editor, any favors.
    I've been doing video since 1984, and I've got to say, anyone who shoots a scene that is only 5 or 6 seconds long on tape is making a huge mistake, and it's been that way since the beginning of computerized editing in the late 70s.
    Shoot at least 5 seconds of pre-roll before the shot begins, then roll tape for at least 5 seconds after you've got the shot. That's the protocol I've followed for 22 years now. Tape is cheap, edit suite time isn't.
    But laying down only 5 to 6 seconds for a scene is wrong, IMO.

  • Imovie Mac importing problem or Camcorder problem?

    I run a small business for kids parties. I video the kids dancing along to a track they have recorded (played on a cd player). Then i import the video, turn off the camcorder sound and import the finished mixed track of their singing and sync the picture and audio together. This has been working perfectly for over a year. But unfortunately in the last month when i try to sync up the audio track with the video, it starts off synced up perfectly, but gradually as the video goes on the video and audio become out of sync and by the end the video is either too fast or too slow. this is a huge problem! I thought it may the tapes in the video camera so i changed them and it's still doing it. Is this a video camera problem or computer importing problem. Can anyone help as it's ruining the kids DVDs!

    I am surprised it has ever worked. That can normally only be done with synched professional equipment. Maybe they changed the CD player at the performance and the old one happened to play at the same rate as your Mac when it imports? (There is a slight difference between the playback speed between different players)
    Or perhaps your video camera has become slightly worn, so it pulls the tape slower?
    There are endless possibilities for problems with your setup.
    I think you should take a look at the "add scaled" tip at the bottom here:

    (Instead of adding the extracted audio from iMovie, you should add the CD audio.)

    The correct error code is IMP-00020 not 200
    What's your current buffer set to when imp?
    IMP-00020: long column too large for column buffer size (number)
    Cause: The column buffer is too small. This usually occurs when importing LONG data.
    Action: Increase the insert buffer size 10,000 bytes at a time (for example). Use this step-by-step approach because a buffer size that is too large may cause a similar problem.
    As adviced, increase 10000 and try again.
