Problems importing HD recording from Sony HD-HCR3

Apologies but I am new to this!
I just bought the Sony HCR3 - when I try to import (via Firewire) HD movies, the picture is very jumpy, single clips are getting broken up and the audio is distorted (voice sounds an octave lower) even though the playback on the camcorder is fine. I don't have any problems when I record and import in DV format.
I have upgraded to iMovie 6, but have yet to upgrade from 10.3.9 (which means that some features of iMovie HD don't work). Is this the reason for my problem?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Well, I have a similiar problem with the Sony HDR-HC1E.
The imported movie ist too slow, so it sounds an octave lower. This problem occures on my powerbook g4 and on my powermac g5. There are no problems with imovie 5.
Nobody could tell me why this problem occures....
You should go bac to imovie 5. iDVD 6 has also some problems.
Sincerely....

  • Problems importing videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto

    I am having problems importing any videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS onto iPhoto. iPhoto keep giving me the following error:
    "Error downloading Image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
    If anyone else is having the same problem, please advise on how to fix.
    Thanks,

    I am having the same problem...
    and Image Capture ( didn't know we would normally be able to use it, but you can) also give an error
    "Import Error"
    Now I have used "ITimelapse pro" to transfer some timelapse movies (about 3 that are about 30 to 60 seconds long) that I made to the phone's photo library.. and I has a very long video that I mistakenly made - (15 minutes long or so) and I "trimmed" it to be a few minutes long. -- and used "JotNot" to send a photo to the photo library... otherwise I have only some regular photos (about 40 ) and about 2 regular videos in the library.
    so any suggestions... ( I am emailing all that I can to myself ... maybe ridding everything will help)

  • Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto

    Cant import raw files from sony rx1003 into iPhoto.  with rx1002 no problem! any suggestions?

    Every model of a manufacture's camera have a different  RAW format and, therefore, you'll have to wait until Apple receives the necessary information from Sony so they can create a RAW Compatibility Updater that includes that model.
    In the meantime you can try the Adobe RAW converter with might support that camera model to create a dmg file that iPhoto will recognize and begging shooting the highest resolution jpegs until the updater is released.

  • IMovie '09 Won't Import HD Content from Sony HDR-SR11 Camcorder

    Hi,
    iMovie stopped importing HD content from Sony HDR-SR11 camcorder. It only recognizes the standard definition content in the preview thumbnails. Previously this used to work with both a FireWire cable and a Mini USB. All of a sudden it doesn't import HD clips. There's no plugin failure either, because I reinstalled iMovie '09.
    System Specifications:
    Intel iMac 20" (Late 2008)
    Intel Core 2 Duo@ 2.4 GHz.
    4 GB RAM
    Snow Leopard (10.6.4)
    Thanks!

    With this camera you must erase the SD clips from the camera before you can import the HD clips.

  • Performance problem with selecting records from BSEG and KONV

    Hi,
    I am having performance problem while  selecting records from BSEG and KONV table. As these two tables have large amount of data , they are taking lot of time . Can anyone help me in improving the performance . Thanks in advance .
    Regards,
    Prashant

    Hi,
    Some steps to improve performance
    SOME STEPS USED TO IMPROVE UR PERFORMANCE:
    1. Avoid using SELECT...ENDSELECT... construct and use SELECT ... INTO TABLE.
    2. Use WHERE clause in your SELECT statement to restrict the volume of data retrieved.
    3. Design your Query to Use as much index fields as possible from left to right in your WHERE statement
    4. Use FOR ALL ENTRIES in your SELECT statement to retrieve the matching records at one shot.
    5. Avoid using nested SELECT statement SELECT within LOOPs.
    6. Avoid using INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE. Instead use INTO TABLE.
    7. Avoid using SELECT * and Select only the required fields from the table.
    8. Avoid nested loops when working with large internal tables.
    9. Use assign instead of into in LOOPs for table types with large work areas
    10. When in doubt call transaction SE30 and use the examples and check your code
    11. Whenever using READ TABLE use BINARY SEARCH addition to speed up the search. Be sure to sort the internal table before binary search. This is a general thumb rule but typically if you are sure that the data in internal table is less than 200 entries you need not do SORT and use BINARY SEARCH since this is an overhead in performance.
    12. Use "CHECK" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
    13. Use "CASE" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
    14. Use "MOVE" with individual variable/field moves instead of "MOVE-
    CORRESPONDING" creates more coding but is more effcient.

  • How could I Import RAW  photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?

    How could I Import RAW photos from sony A300 into Lightroom 1.4.1?
    RAW photos files in sony A300 are saved as "*.arw".
    any one can help?

    This is well known bug. One day Adobe will recognise that with the best live view system (A350/300) and best usability (A700) they need to take the Sony DSLR's seriously.
    Use the Import function, but use "choose files". Your CF card (in Camera or reader) will just be another drive. Navigate down to the folder with the pictures - control+A, choose selected. Then choose copy to new location and import (safer than using move).
    Don't forget to tick the backup box.
    Hope this helps. Peter

  • Problem importing into FCPX from SD card

    Hi, I'm having a problem importing some videos from a micro SD card into FCPX.  It is some helmet camera footage shot at 720P @ 30fps.  It's a .mov file.
    My problem is when I go to the "import media" window, I can see the files on the import screen.  I can also skim and play the files before they are imported.  The first time I tried to import them, I got an error message (which I unfortunately didn't write down). After I clicked "OK" on the error message, I could still see the file thumbnail, but if I hovered my mouse over it, the thumbnail turned black. I then restarted FCPX, and tried again.  I found that I could still see, skim, and play the file, but when I choose to "import selected" the little pie shaped downloading icon doesn't appear anymore and the file doesn't attempt to import. 
    Should I go to Disk Utility and do a "Verfiy Disk" and "Repair Disk" (if necessary) or might I permanantly delete the corrupted file if I "fix" it by repairing the disk?
    I have a screenshot of the import screen if needed, but the resolution is terrible.  I'll need to take another one if it would be beneficial to see it.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Glen

    A screen shot would be good..
    If you have mulltple files and you know which one is a problem, select just the others and import them.
    Try copying the entire card to your HD and seeing whether it will import from your computer.

  • Import info record from file.

    hi,
    Ask your ABAPer, he will develope the BDC program for data uploading. or else you can use LSMW also to upload  condition data in Info. Records. in LSMW we dont required any ABAP code.
    hope it helps...

  • Does FCP7 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?

    Does the new FCP 7.0 directly imports AVCHD files from sony cam?
    Does it need any conversion? If yes, how is the conversion time, and does the conversion degrades image quality?
    Thanks in advance.
    Desmond

    Which sony camera? there are a lot.
    Yes, it needs to convert. AVCHD isn't a format that most editing systems deal with natively. You will be converting it to ProRes. The conversion time is dependent on too many factors to give a precise number. Based on computer used, processors, RAM, how much footage, where it will be stored...all of that. The conversion doesn't degrade the image.
    Here...I have a workflow tutorial for this: Tapeless Workflow for FCP 7 Tutorial

  • How import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

    how import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

    LOG AND TRANSFER.  I have the full workflow here:
    http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
    Make sure you are running FCP 7.0.3.  That version deals with files from the NX5 the best.  If you are on a previous version, like FCP 6....you will need to use CLIPWRAP2 from Divergentmedia.com.  As the specific AVCHD format the NX5 uses is something that FCP 6 cannot really deal with. 
    Gotta love new camera formats.

  • Imovie keeps quitting during import of movies from Sony DVD Handycam

  • Can't import live video from Sony PD 170.

    Just got Final Cut Pro X. In a New Event I am able to import live video from the new MacBook Pro computer's built-in camera and pre-recorded video from my Sony PD-170 camera. However, when trying to import live video from the PD-170, the program only APPEARS to do so--the clips never show up once I close the import window. Any suggestions?

    I think iMovie is corrupted. I would like to try to uninstall iLife 11 but when I put in the disc there is no uninstall option. I tried trashing iMovie from applications and reinstalled all of iLife (I believe wasted space on my HD) but the issue remains. (Maybe because I didn't delete the receipts?) iMovie can not see any devices or use iSight for capture...

  • CS4 Importing SD video from Sony NX5

    I can import it but it looks blurry and soft and needs to be rendered. The video comes from Sony NX5 tapeless camera.  It records SD in mpeg2 instead of DV. The softness seems to happen during this conversion, the original video looks sharp when viewing it in Windows Media Player.
    How can I import it without making it look soft?

  • Trouble importing into iMovie from Sony Handicam

    Recently I tried to import video from my sony handicam into iMovie11.  The video imported, but there was no audio. I used to be able to import with this camera no problem.  Did apple do something?
    Anyone have problems importing with thier Sony Handicam DCR - SX43?  Video imports, but audio will not import into imovie anymore.

    hey there tomaswk, welcom to Discussions.
    1) when importing HDV, iMovie/FCE HD converts it on the fly to A.I.C.-Apple Intermediate Codec. you'll need @ least 2 GB of RAM to approach realtime ingest to your MBP. i have 2.5 GB on my DP G5.
    2) the conversion also results in file sizes about 4 times the size of SD video. plenty of RAM is a necessity for HDV in iMovie or FCE HD. sounds like the partition could be the culprit. maybe get an external FireWire HDD for your HDV iMovies.
    good luck.

  • FCS2- Importing ( AVC HD) from Sony Hybrid HDRSR12

    Hello to all FCS2 users.
    (Please forgive me if this question has already been posted.)
    I have a Mac G5 with Final Cut Studio 2.
    I was in the midst of purchasing the Sony Hybrid HDRSR 12 camcorder, but... unbeknownst to me,
    I discovered that I will not be able to import any video from its digital hard drive via FCS2, due to the fact that this particular SONY (tape-less) product can only work with a Mac that has the Intel chip. (?)
    I spoke to someone at Sony about this enigma and they in turn informed me that there "might be" a plug-in/codec available for the regular Mac G5/Final Cut Pro 6.0.4 (Studio 2) users.
    I hope this makes sense.
    Does anyone know?
    Please let me know before I am forced to purchase a Mini-DV camcorder.

    Here's what I've been doing. I noted you already have the Mac hardware and OS covered; don't know if FCP6 (FCS2) is required for the SR12 as I only picked up FCS2 recently (was using FCE). Anyway,...
    I've got the cradle/dock plugged directly into a USB port on the front of the Mac, not through a hub (don't know if it matters; don't have a hub to try it). With the SR12 docked, turning on the camera automatically brings up the "USB select" screen, at which point I'm choosing the top/left "USB connect" option (the one with the hard drive icon). The SR12 then tells me "Connected" - end of SR12 setup ("that was easy").
    I've launched FCP and selected "Log and Transfer..." from the File menu. This brings up the Log and Transfer window; it briefly shows a "{camera_name} adding..." message, and then a list of clips with the (default) name, first frame still, volume name, media start (00:00:00;00) and media duration for each. If I select the first clip and click on "Add Selection to Queue", it begins transferring the clip. It shows a general status that implies it's transferring, but no elapsed or time remaining (which would be "nice"). Using an HC7 and Firewire, a 30 minute clip would take 30 minutes to "Log and Capture" in realtime; using the SR12, a 27:12;18 clip (recorded in FH mode) took approx. 24 minutes (I'm guessing lower quality/resolution clips would be smaller and consequently faster). Personally, I think the best advantage of the "Log and Transfer" method is that it's a background process; I can do other things (like this) while it's working.
    Note: I didn't see any codec choices during the "Log and Transfer" process, although in the "tasks" menu (pop up menu with gear icon), under "preferences", there are two "sources" listed - both appear to default to the "Apple ProRes 422" option for video. For the "AVCHD Plugin" source (which I'm guessing applies in this case), there's an "Apple Intermediate Codec" transcode option, but selecting it doesn't give me any other sub-options for 50i or anything else, so I'm not sure where that comes in.
    Hope this helps.
