  • Sony Digital Camera Import

    How can I import digital movies from my Sony Handycam DCR-SR68?
    iPhoto will not recognize them.

    Greetings Dave,
    How can I import digital movies from my Sony Handycam DCR-SR68?
    iPhoto is an image management program. It's primary function is to import, store, and organize still images. While it does import movies from digital still cameras, it is not designed to import movie footage from a video camera (Two different types of devices. Still cameras and movie cameras). That is what iMovie is for.
    Your Sony Handycam DCR-SR68 is on the supported camera list for iMovie so you should be able to import your footage into iMovie: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290
    Once the footage is off the camera and in iMovie, you can then export it out of iMovie and put it back in iPhoto (although I'm unclear why you would want to store movie footage in iPhoto. Of the two programs, iMovie is the best place to keep large amounts of movie data.)
    iPhoto will not recognize them.
    Your camera records it's movie files in MPEG2 format. This format is not natively compatible with iPhoto as it is not usable by Quicktime (Which is what drives movie compatibility to some extent in iPhoto.) without additional software. The Quicktime manual lists the compatible formats: http://images.apple.com/quicktime/pdf/QuickTime7UserGuide.pdf (Page 9).
    iMovie has a built in convertor that will convert those MPEG2 files into a usable format when you import directly from the camera into iMovie.
    Hope that information helps.

  • Digital Video Recorder for MacBook Pro 10.4.9

    Hi-
    I was hoping someone could suggest a lower end digital video recorder (under $500) that is compatible with the MacBook Pro. I bought a sony recorder before I bought the macbook and it wasnt compatible with imovie. Before I purchase another recorder I would love to hear feedback on a decent model and experiences people have had with different models.

    digital video recorder (under $500) that is compatible with the MacBook Pro. I bought a sony recorder before I bought the macbook and it wasnt compatible with imovie.
    Are you talking about a computer CD/DVD reader/writer or actual DVD recorder (an update of the old VHS recorders). If you are talking about a DVD recorder, as far as I know. NONE are directly compatable with the iApps because the content they record is mpg-2 encoded and would have to be converted to DV for use in the iApps.
    What is it you are trying to do?

    Also, I do not have or use Final Cut.
    Thank you for the warning about 16 bit. I wish you would tell me why it is important to set to 16 bit, though.

  • Sony Digital 8 Handycam USB only + Final Cut = No go?

    Hi, a while back my parents bought a Sony Digital 8 Handycam, the digital 8 format is identicle to miniDV.
    The problem is, FCP doesn't seem to accept USB? This camera only transfers via USB, and I was able to on my PC running Vegas, is this not possible with FC?

    Also...just to make sure the system works:

  • Where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    While they certainly don't make it clear, if you actually select the link on CNET, it's only an update file (Office2011-1434UpdateEN.dmg) which is listed on Microsoft's site:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads?pid=Mactopia_Office2011&fid=ECF3967A-2593 -4E94-8670-CE555E20047F
    They used to allow for a trial download, but I haven't been able to track that down in a while.  If the original poster has their key, it can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here:

  • I am trying to import for Sony RAW .mxf files in AE. I get an error message, cannot be imported - this.mxf file is damages or unsupported.

    I am on a PC. AE version 12.1.0.168. It is updated.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem. We are working on a feature film shot on Sony F55 in 4K RAW.

    Thanks. Now it works in PP and AE.

    First, your AE needs to be updated. The current version is 12.2.1.5
    If that does not fix the problem let us know.
    Second question, are you using the Sony import utility? If not, give that a try. Last question, can you open the files in Premiere Pro? I hope you are not trying to cut a feature film in After Effects.

  • I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

  • Importing a movie works with Sony digital 8 tape but no other tape will import

    I can import movies from Sony Digital 8 tapes, but any other 8mm metal tapes will not import. Any Ideas why and how can I import other tapes. It shows on the playback screen but no data from device.

    Try importing your iMovie project into FCP as follows:
    In FCP:
    1. > File >Open
    2. Select the iMovie project you want to open
    (the FCP Browser should then show the individual iMovie clips)
    3. double-click the iMovie clips to open them in the FCP timeline
    4. >File >Save Project As (to save your imported iMovie project as a FCP project)
    5. Render the clips: because iMovie uses a different DV encoding method to FCP, so rendering iMovie media in FCP converts them to the FCP-compatible format.

    Hi Michael,
    It sounds like your router's authentication is set to WPA and thus where the key is established. Does your MacBook Pro connect to a wireless router? If so, that's where you'd need to get the key from via a web-based control panel for the router or if it's an AEBS via AirPort Utility.
