Sony HDR HC7 - does it work with FCE 3.5 HD?

Is the Sony HDR HC7 capable with mac fce 3.5 hd?
thank you so much.

Hi(Bonjour)!
Yes the HC7 records HDV or standard def DV on MiniDV tape. This material can be captured via firewire (iLink or IE-1394, name it) connection without problem.

Which Sony Camera to buy to work with FCE HD?

I'm looking at either the Sony HDR FX1E HDV or Sony HDR HC1E HDV.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

Hi(Bonjour)!
That depends of what are your needs...
Both models works well with FCE HD 3.5 .
Try some research on the web for a comparaison between those two models. Look at:
http://reviews.cnet.com/SonyHandycam_HDR_HC3/4505-65007-31749257.html?tag=tpr
and
http://reviews.cnet.com/SonyHDR_FX1/4505-65007-31085889.html
The FX1E (E stands for european model) seems to be more semi-professionnal (3 CCD chips, big lens, big form factory, more manual controls and big price) than HC1(one CMOS chip, smaller case, operation by screen menus). But the HC1 would give good results either. Pay attention that HC1 is actualy replaced by a newer model: HC3 for the same price. May be you can find a bargain price for a new HC1.
It's a matter of finding to good balance between your needs and your wallet...
Remember that HDV needs powerful computer with plenty of RAM and space on hard disk, but that image quality is fantastic. (a dual G5 with 4.5 Gig RAM is a such powerfull computer).
Actually, your options for distibuting HDV natively are limited to play final movie from your camcorder. There is not DVD burner that support HDV right now. (do a search in this forum under "HDV, iDVD DVD burner"

Sony HDR FX7 doesn't work with Final Cut 5.1 Help

Hi there.
I'm looking for some help. I"ve purchased the Sony HDR FX 7 today and took a few shots with it. I've connected the camera to my G5 and was tryingt to capture the movies I've recorded. Nothing seems to work.
Can someone please give me some help. I'm lookin for some very basic info on how to connect the camera and how to set it up with FCP. I am going to my one to one lesson but it's only on Friday next week. So I am hoping that I can learn some basics with you folks before I spend 1 week in vain.
Is there a link or some sort of study material on how to properly connect/set up/download and /or capture the video from this camcorder.
I'm really hoping that I could find something useful to get this process going. Right now I'm stuck, I can't capture the video. It tells me something about the timecode is out of range. When I try to capture now it says that the camera is not connected. But I see the video playing.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Z1user Thank you for your reply and I hope you and your wife have fun.
I was supposed to have fun too and the FX7 is my wifes present for my birthday (today) but after I've played with it for a while and ran into all kinds of problems, I have fun no more.
Oh well, here are the details.
I have Final Cut Pro 5.1
The camera is Sony HDR FX7
I've connected it thru Firewire 400 on the back of my G5.
If you look below and see the specs, the G5 should have no promlems capturing video.
While I was capturing the video (I followed all the steps you've recommended me) I could see on the capture screen that here an there a green line would cross the film. You know the type of lines you'd get in the old movie? Yeah, just the same. I've captured all 5 sigments I had on the miniDV and when I tried to play (I went to file-import-file, I've selected the captured clip from my internal HD where the FCP put the files). The file opened in browser. And then it open in preview window of FCP (sorry I'm very new to FCP so I may be using wrong terms). At this point the clip that is 1 minute long would play for 2-4 second and end there. The quality of it was also very, very put (and I filed it at HD 1080i, may be even 24p (not sure about 24p as I have not studied the camera well to know if I need to turn it on or it's on by defalt). So, the quality was really poor. It was the case with all 5 clips I've captured from FX7. All of them 2-4 sec. long and very poor quality.
If anyone is readying this, could you please give me some ideas where to go with this.
Thank you

Does iDVD Work with FCE 4?

Hi,
I just installed Leopard and FCE 4 on my iMac G5, which is running iDVD 5.0.1. Everything was working fine, but when I go to burn a simple 5-minute movie (no stills) with iDVD, it craps out in the burn phase. Is iDVD 5 compatible, or do I need to upgrade to iLife 08? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Then it's over to the table:
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named: com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.

A Camera That Works With FCE?

I just got a JVC and its kinda a joke. I have to go through like 20 steps to get my video files off my Hard Drive Camera and into a format editable on FCE.
Does anyone have a nice camera, around $1,500 or so that has good quality and works well the Apple computers and FCE?
Thanks again.

I have the Sony HDR-SR8 camera that works with FCE. Tried it last night. Was able to import video from the camera. Hooked the camera up through the USB port and the camera showed up as an ICON on the desktop. In FCE I was able to import the clips. Pretty cool. Haven't done any editing yet.
Sony has come out with newer models than mine and the picture quality should be fantastic.

Apple A/V adapter does't work with SONY TV

I connected my iPad 2 to a newer SONY TV using Apple's A/V 30 pin connector via HDMI and the TV does not see a signal.

Did it work before? Does it work with a different TV/projector? Did it work with ios 7.x?
Anyway, with the introduction of ios 8.x, apple stopped supporting older a/v cables. You need to get the latest a/v cable with the correct firmware. There is a little chip in the a/v cable.
go to the apple store. Buy a new cable. Verify the cable works in the store.

View Footage from FCP to Sony HDR-HC7 Camera

Hi all,
I have final cut pro and a Sony HDR-HC7 camera with a SAMSUNG external monitor. I'm trying to view edited video from FCP to my camera then through HDMI to my SAMSUNG external monitor. I can't get this to work.
This works fine through my DVDPRO deck then component to SAMSUNG external monitor.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answer.
Now I tried to link my iMac directly to my television (mini DVI to HDMI) to watch my movie, but I got no picture on my television. It is a Panasonic Viera, HD ready (TH-42PV60E). It has 2 HDMI inputs. Has anybody succeeded yet in doing this?

Can import 1080i from Sony HDR-HC7, but not export it

I am helping a friend with a Sony HDR-HC7 camcorder that is capable of DV and HDV formats. They have used it without a hitch with DV shot footage on import and export to the camera. They are using iMovie HD 6.0.3. They shot footage in 1080i format and imported and edited it, without incident, but have had no success exporting the edited project back to the camera. We've gone over the in-camera settings, manual in hand a few times, with no success. We have also phoned Sony on two occasions and basically got no help from them. Always using a firewire cable and camcorder mode and connection as when working with DV, but with connection and format settings changed to reflect the format. iMovie acts like it is going through it's paces and exporting, as we are asking it to, but nothing on the camera indicates we are getting anything from the computer, as the friend is used to seeing when they have worked with DV footage - no matter how long we wait or let it go through it's paces.
Any one with this camera with success exporting it back to the camera with iMovie HD 6.0.3?

I've got the same exact problem. The most frustrating thing is it worked once...iMovie 06 seemed to recognize the camera and just started capturing the footage. Now I cannot get it to connect for the life of me. I'm in VCR mode, I'm using a 4 to 6 pin firewire cable, ect - so frustrating.

No sound when importing from a Sony HDR-HC7

Hello all together,
I bought a new Sony HDR-HC7, the camera is fantastic. There is only one thing perplexing me: When importing HD-Clips into iMovie HD 6.0.3 I cannot hear the sound that was recorded by the camera. When I play the clips, I can hear sound. What could this be?
With my old Sony TVR 33 (no HDV) I don't have this problem.
Did I forget any settings?
Thanks for advices,
Stefan

Hi Stfan:
I guess I would try the easy things first.
Make certain that " Video Play Through Camera " is
not enabled in imovie Preferences. That is
because it sends all audio through the FireWire port
and mutes it on the computer.
ake certain your video is 16-bit audio (not 12-bit).
Once you have imported (and saved) the video into
imovie, close imovie. Then unplug all firewire
devices (camera included).
Relaunch imovie. Is the audio there now?
Sue
Hi Sue,
thank you for your advice. As I use the German version I am not quite sure, if "Video Play Through Camera" is in the third tab of the iMovie-Prefs the fourth checkbox overarm? This one's unenabled. Audio is 16-bit.
Audio was alwas there in the play-mode but not in the import-mode.

Camcorder who work with FCE

Hello
I plan to buy a camcorder. According the support page of apple only AVCHD Cameras work with FCE.
I tend to buy a Canon camera. Does someone know if for instance a LEGRIA camera work with FCE ?
Please let me know what cameras work with FCE. Many thanks.

The Canon Legria HF-R, HF-M and HF-S series camcorders are AVCHD. The Legria HV40 is HDV. All of them will work with FCE.
(Note: the Legria standard definition FS series will not work with FCE, although their videos may be converted to a format that will work with FCE.)

Canon Vixia hf20 work with FCE

Dose anyone know if the Canon VIXIA HX20 works with FCE it's AVCHD but no firewire port only usb

Yes it does. There are posts here almost daily about this. You won't use the 'Capture' feature like with FireWire cams, instead you'll use the "Log and Transfer" feature...plenty of posts here about that.

Min mediakälla kan inte hittas i version 13 (Sony HDR HC7)

My video source cant be found in version 13 Sony HDR HC7. It should be supported and is seen i the tuturial view but not in "Import video" menu. Cant update either????

Premiere Elements 13 on what computer operating system?
What are you trying to update? There should be nothing to update. There is no update to 13, like 13.1. And, the program should come with Camera Raw 8.6 which I believe is the latest version of Camera Raw.
Your Sony HDR HC7 appears to be a miniDV camcorder. Premiere Elements 13 no longer offers DV and HDV Capture. Adobe document suggests a workaround if you are interested.

Please review and consider and then me know if I have targeted the question that you asked.
Thank you.

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

Flash player does not work with new ICS Android 4.0.4 OS. Has this problem been addressed?

Flash player does not work with new ICS Android 4.0.4 OS. Has this problem been addressed? I am using Firefox Beta for android and I also tried just Firefox.

Please check the Play Store app for any Flash updates and install them if present.

Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1?

Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1 64, If i try and play a video I get the message to install Flashplayer.
If I try and install it it says it is already installed. Your onsite installer says it is not applicable to my machine.
I have followed all the normal steps re enabling addons and active filters etc.
all to no avail Pc is Dell 6 months old, Flashplayer has never worked on this machine. Last MS update mid Dec 2014.
Version of flashplayer is 15....03.......

Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer. There's nothing separate to download or install.
Firefox requires a different version of Flash Player (the NPAPI plug-in), which will be served to you if you go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Firefox; however, there are some unique stability issues related to Firefox on Win8.1, and you're probably better off using Google Chrome if you want a more optimal experience with Flash Player.
For problems where IE isn't being detected by sites that require Flash:
First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
