Sony NEX-5N and FCP6

I am about ready to buy a Sony NEX-5N, but I don't want to upgrade to FCP-X just yet. Will I be able to import or open HD files from the camera into FCP6, and how?

Shane,
Thanks a bunch. I just watched your tapeless workflow tutorial for FCP 7.  Would most of that apply to FCP 6? I clicked around a little in the app, and it appears that it would.
Also, using ClipWrap2, would I "rewrap" the files and then log and transfer?
AFTER BACKING UP!

  • Sony NEX-VG20 and FCPX not importing

    Has anyone been able to get AVCHD from Sony NEX-VG20 to import to FCPX? I just got around to trying out the VG20 this morning and am trying to import the clips to FCPX and no luck. Trying to import from Camera it doesn't see recognize the camera or the SD card if plugged in to a reader. Trying to import the .mts as files results in an error saying unsupported file format.
    Any ideas?

    Sorry, used the wrong terminology. I wasn't transcoding it, just rewrapping it. I never actually played in the timeline. The choppiness was coming from QT, I just tried Movist and playing it in the timeline and it's working fine.
    Thanks for all your help!

  • I have a Sony NEX-VG10, edit with Prem Pro and am having serious capturing issues.

    I recently purchased the Sony NEX-VG10 and am really excited about it.  I have run into some serious problems capturing the footage, though.  I have a 2010 iMac, am running OSX 10.8.2  Mountain Lion and use Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 to edit.  I've discovered that the files on the camera are .MTS, a file format with which I am unfamiliar (not surprising, I'm not exactly a newb, but the past few months is the first time I've started editing seriously - I am more a writer/director/producer and could do basic stuff with FC7 and Prem Pro - now I own my own production company and am getting down to the nitty gritty). 
    But I have found that
    1. I can't capture using bridge, it doesn't recognize the file format.
    2. When I plug the camera into the computer and go straight to the files, I don't even get individual files.  All the information is contained in what looks like a Quicktime movie, but isn't recognized by Quicktime or any other program as anything.
    3.  When I go into the camera files using the import function in Premiere Pro, I find the individual .MTS files - which say they are Unix Executable files (no idea what that means), I can import them into PP, but the quality is atrocious.  Grainy and pixely.  Even when viewing them in full res playback mode.
    4. I bought Bigasoft Total Video converter (wicked cool program).  I import the files using PP, then go find them in this program, and convert them into .mov files - the quality is still atrocious (not surprised, as the .mts files look cruddy, what could I expect when I converted them - but was worth a try).
    I need to capture these files in full quality (oh - the file information says they are in 1920 x 1080 (1.0), so it's not like I filmed in a low res. 
    The software that came with the camera is for PCs, I've searched for answers to these problems, and although I've found similar, I can't find anything that actually helps me.  Can anyone out there tell me exactly what to do?!?  I would be most appreciative.  My new company's success depends on it!

    If you'll type mts into the search field for these communities, you will see a plethora of threads on the subject - I was going to link to one, but there are so many, it'd be best for you to read through several. In any case, of note is the fact that you might be able to import into iMovie directly as long as you do not shoot in 50/60 fps - in order to be able to read it, it has to be either 30fps for NTSC or 24 for PAL.
    Not sure if the frames per second problem has anything to do with your lousy quality problem, but it might. The other concern is that Sony has not and does not really play nice with anything Apple - that was one of the reasons I chose a Canon.

  • Sony NEX-5N AVCHD 2.0 1080p50 and Premiere Pro/After Effects CS5.5

    Hi all,
    I have a new Sony NEX-5N and have shot some test 1080p50 video using it.
    On my quest for some new editing/production software to close the loop I have just downloaded and installed a Trial Version of CS5.5 Production Premium.
    I am able to load my video files into Premiere Pro.
    However, when I attempt to open the Video File in After Effects, I recieve the following Error message:
       After Effects error: '00023.MTS' cannot be imported - this '.mts' file is damaged or unsupported.
    I have tried renaming the extension to .MPG, .M4V, .M2TS all with exactly the same result.
    Perhaps this is a limitation of the Trial Version or perhaps a limitation of After Effects CS5.5.  Is anyone able to advise?
    As extra information I include below the TEXT output from MediaInfo for the file I am able to load into Premiere Pro CS5.5 but not After Effects.
    Thanks.

    You can browse the directory at http://andrew.net.au/~rowan/avchd/ if you need to "right-click" and save as.
    I am hoping it is a limitation of the trial as I have noticed a few other "gotchas" with the trial version.
    Thanks for the advice about video format, I have noticed that my computer (Core 2 Duo) is very slow to process the H.264 stream, PremierePro cannot play the 30sec stream in realtime (starts to stutter around 23sec) and After Effects starts its stutter almost immediately (both just playing the stream with no effects) - that said WindowsMediaPlayer has no problem playing the same stream at full speed.  I am however reluctant to do any transcoding except to a lossless format as it seems counter intuitive - but this will be the subject of another post, as I don't want to clutter this one.
    Thanks again.

  • Why i can't import a clip of AVCHD format from iPhoto originaly from my Sony NEX-5N

    why i can't import a clip of AVCHD format from iPhoto originaly from my Sony NEX-5N?

    Hi there. For anyone searching, here are the results of my research and corresponding advice back to Sony...
    Thanks, your comments looked correct but did not solve my problem. You may be interested to know after much testing and research, I was able to ascertain that some of the camera's AVCHD settings iMovie cannot see at all (only some, which made it even harder to figure out!). Plus, if you have recorded movie clips in more than one format to the memory card (MP4 or any one of the AVCHD's), iMovie cannot see any of the AVCHD's.
    Bottom line - forgo the benefits of AVCHD on the Sony NEX-5N and just use MP4 until Apple makes it easier.

  • Sony NEX-6 RAW image lenscorrection

    Hi,
    I have a Sony NEX-6 and made some nice photo's. But when I open the photo in Lightroom 5 and go to develop the picture something strange happends to the picture. The same as discribed on this page:
    Hasan Karagülmez - Blog: Upright and Lens Corrections with Sony NEX 16-50mm in Lightroom and PhotoShop
    I know how I can turn on the lenscorrection at the picture.
    But...I would like to apply this on alle the pictures I import form the Sony. I do have make a user preset but this doesn't seems to work. Maybe I have checked the wrong boxes.
    Can you help me? Thanks in advance.
    Vincent

    I have selected import, with SD card directly plug into the SD card reader on my iMac.
    aperture was able to see the raw files, it does allow me to import.
    but after imported, i click on the imported file, it shows "unsupoorted image format"
    Have you tried to reprocess the raw after importing? Select the new import and use the command
    "Photos > Reprocess Originals"

  • Lightroom color profile for Sony NEX 5N?

    Hi all. I'm trying out LR4 at the moment, and I noticed that the only available color profile (Adobe Standard) is way off for my NEX 5N. Colors look really flat and greenish compared to in-camera jpgs and RAWs edited with iPhoto or Aperture. I found this profile http://www.piraccini.net/...2011/11/sony-nex-5n-new-standard-adobe-color.html, which is a lot better but still not really what I would like to see.
    So the question for any NEX 5N users is, what color profile are you using in Lightroom? Thanks.

    Digging up an old thread here, but I'm having a similar issue. I too only see "Adobe Standard" along with other "Camera Landscape, Portrait, Standard, Vivid". If I browse to the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\ There was previously no folder or files related to my Sony NEX 5N within any of the subfolders, except for the "Sony NEX-5N Adobe Standard.dcp" file. I've since found what I assume are supporting .dcp files for my Sony camera under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.3\Resources\CameraProfiles\Camera\Sony NEX-5N and tried to copy that folder, which includes 4 profiles, and paste it within the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\ directory.
    Here is what's happening: No new profiles show up. I'm at a loss about how to install new profiles if I needed to. I've even tried downloading the OP's recomended profile from the piraccini.net site, but I'm at a loss with how to install those. No matter where I paste the different profiles (folder that contains .dcp files) they just don't show up within Lightroom 4.3. I'm at the end of my rope here, as I've tried everything that I know.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Update ETA for Sony Nex C3 .ARW to .DNG in Lightroom?

    Hello, I own a Sony Nex C3 and would love to be able to use it's raw files in Lightroom. I have the latest version 3.4.1. I have the Adobe raw converter 6.4.1.
    After reading these forums and scouring the net it looks like lightroom supports the Nex 3 and Nex 5 now but not the Nex C3 that I have. I understand the Nex C3 is new and it appears though that all the Nex cameras share the same .arw (raw) file, lightroom needs to accept the camera model. I wish the raw file was a common format across all cameras (I believe adobe wants this too:) but heres to hoping.
    Anyone have an idea when this will work with Lightroom? Also anyone else have my camera and know a way to convert the .arw files to .dng to import them into lightroom? I own several picture software including Photshop Elements but Lightroom is so nice to use, dont want to go anywhere else!
    Thanks for your time!

    Although the file extensions for the different camera models is the same (.arw), there are differences in the raw files between camera models. For this reason, ACR has to support them all individually.
    Also anyone else have my camera and know a way to convert the .arw files to .dng to import them into lightroom?
    Your best bet at the moment is to convert your Raws to TIFF in the Sony proprietory software and import the TIFFs into LR. Keep the Raws though, as LR will eventually support them and you still can re-import the most important ones then.
    I own several picture software including Photshop Elements but Lightroom is so nice to use, dont want to go anywhere else!
    Photoshop Elements won't help you, as the CameraRaw Plugin for ACR supports the same cameras as LR and new releases come out at the same time. The same goes for the Adobe DNG converter.

  • Sony NEX-VG10E

    Hi all - I just bought the Sony NEX-VG10E and am finding the process of aquiring the material I've shot pretty complicated - distressfully so! Do I need to buy a Windows computer and a new version of FCP (OMG!!!) - this has to be possible, right? I've tried log & capture, log & transfer, using streamclip, etc., nothing works so far. Any advice out there? By the way, the manual is pitiful short of information - it includes nothing on log & transfer at all. Thanks for any help.

    The AVCHD format that Sony made is some secret sauce that FCP couldn't deal with until 7.0.3.  They used this with their first NXCam camera...I couldn't get the footage in properly.  ClipWrap2 figured things out and I used that.  THEN FCP caught up.  So either wait until you get FCP 7...and update that to 7.0.3.  Or get ClipWrap2

  • I can't open Sony NEX-5 raw files with PS-CS6 and latest raw converter plug-in 7.1.

    When I try to open raw files from Sony NEX-5 instead of going to PhotoShop like all my NEF files, they go to another software suite that I have (On-One).  I am running MAC OS 10.7.5 with latest PS-CS6 and latest raw converter plug-in 7.1.  On-One seems to hi-jack these Sony raw files and won't give me the opportunity for the adjustments that I get with the Adobe Raw File converter.  Any help??

  • LR4 and Sony NEX-7 video files?

    I just installed LR4 and imported files from my Sony NEX-7, including raw files and video (.mts) files.   The thumbnail of the file has a little video camera icon in the bottom left, but no time lenth of video as I exprected.  And when I try to open a video file, the starting frame appears but there is no control bar under the video to allow me to "play" it and using the Spacebar doesn't start it either.  What am I missing in this process?

    I had a similar issue with a Sony RX100.  It was not supported by ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) until version 7.2.  Version 7.2 includes the NEX 7 too.  It may have been included in earlier versions, but I'm not sure.
    ACR is the free Adobe plug in that has all the camera and lens correstions and adjustments.  The camera makers create there RAW formats and Adobe then, one at a time, turns that into conversion data in ACR.  At least I think that's how it works!
    PSE 10 will only go to ACR 6.7.  It won't upgrade ACR past 6.7.  You have to buy PSE 11 to get functionality with ACR 7.2
    The way it works it that you have PSE search for updates under the Help menu.  When PSE 10 was new, it allowed me to update the ACR to 6.7.  In fact it insisted I do it.  The same was true with PSE 11.  It alerted me that an upgrade was available.
    A similar situation exists with Lightroom.  My Sony camera would not work with LR 4.  It had to upgrade itself to 4.2
    If you don't want to deal with the Adobe details, Sony provides "Image Data Converter" that can make files from the Sony RAW images that PSE10 can work with.
    Good luck!

  • Adobe PSE13 and Sony NEX-6

    Hello everybody,
    my question refers to the NEX-6 with the 16-50mm power zoom (SEL16-50)
    Does someone know if it's possible to have the neccessary distortion corrections applied automatically when opening an ARW-file with Adobe PhotoShop Elements 13 with the Camera-RAW plug in ACR 8.7.1?
    Although the NEX-6 is correctly recognized (as indicated in the frame) the opened ARW picture still exhibits the partly strong distortion. It can of course be corrected using the appropriate "filter", but this correction has to be executed for every single picture because the distortion depends on the focal length. OTOH, the distortion correction for my Leica D-Lux (109) is executed beautifully when opening an RWL-file with Adobe PSE13.
    Every suggestion appreciated.

  • How to convert and import MTS files from my Sony NEX 10e into iMovie for editing?

    Hi, dear all,
    I have hard time to bring in my footage shoot using Sony NEX 10e camcorder into iMovie 11 for editing. Is there anyway I can convert these MTS files foe editing in IMovie 11?
    Thanks in advance!!
    Kevin

    Some frame rates and resolution combos will not import into iMovie directly. That's true. For instance, 1920x1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second (meaning not interlaced), that is not compatible with iMovie and you might need to convert it using a program like ClipWrap. Also if you have just the 'bare' .mts files, iMovie will not be able to import those either. iMovie expects to find all the folders and auxiliiary files recorded onto the memory card when you shoot AVCHD video. It needs all those extra pieces to navigate to the video clips and subsequently convert them from .mts to Apple Intermediate Codec. So in the case where you have a 'bare' .mts file use Voltaic HD to do the conversion.
