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!

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work.

LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work. Running a Mac, 10.6.8, I am cleaning up hard drives, organizing old files. There are times lightroom 4.2 (and before) does not recognize already imported raws and does not gray them out. These are backed up cards and folders of of raw images. Why is the "do not import selected duplicates" check box not working???!!!

There's a known (and old) bug when duplicate identification fails on photos
that have been imported from another catalog.

Hi have just bought a Sony Xperia J and am not able to tether my ipad as I did with my Nokia C3. Why? What do I have to do to solve the problem so I can tether to my Ipad?

Is this phone another of the things that Apple does not support? How do I know before I buy a phone that it will be supported?

How are you attempting to connect them?
Looking at the Experia J features it does seem to support Wifi Hotspot, but there is no mention of a Bluetooth hotspot. Different phones offer different things.
The iPad issues the message, because there doesn;t seem to be anything it can do with it. But this is not something apple is blocking its more a limitation or a non present feature of the phone.
From the Manual which I assume you've read through:
To share your phone’s data connection as a portable Wi-Fi® hotspot
1 From the Home screen, tap .
2 Find and tap Settings > More… > Tethering & portable hotspot.
3 Tap Configure Wi-Fi hotspot.
4 Enter the Network SSID for the network. Tap the Security field to select a
security type.
5 If required, enter a password.
6 Tap Save.
7 Mark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox. The phone starts broadcasting its
Wi-Fi® network name (SSID). You can now connect to this network with up to
8 computers or other devices.
8 Unmark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox when you want to stop sharing
your data connection via Wi-Fi®
When that is set up, you can use your iPad to look for the Wifi network the phone is providing and connect to it as you would any wifi network.

I downloaded the newest version of camera raw for LR. I have LR4 and can not import photos from my new Nikon D750. The download said it was sucessful but I still can not import photos.

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. So downloading the latest Camera Raw didn't do anything at all for you. The only way to update or upgrade Lightroom is to obtain the latest version. If you have Lightroom 4 then the last version of Lightroom you can have at no additional cost is Lightroom 4.4.1. If the camera you are using requires anything newer than what is supported and that version of Lightroom then it will require an upgrade to Lightroom 5.

Confused about Sony HDR-SR7 and iMovie '08 import

I have my camera set to record at HD XP (15Mb/s). If I look on the camera hard drive at an arbitrary .mts file that is 107.3MB and import that into iMovie '08 at the Full (1920x1080) setting, that 107.3MB file turns into a whopping 854.5MB, while the Large (960x540) setting yields a much more reasonable 287.3MB file size (yet still double the size of the raw file sitting on the hard drive).
There's got to be some re-encoding going on, but what's the point? Why take a 100MB file and explode it to 800MB when you can't get any more quality out of the 100MB file?
Is it just the fact that iMovie doesn't actually support whatever native codec Sony's AVCHD uses, so it needs to re-encode it using AIC whose compression isn't as good as whatever codec AVCHD is using?
So this poses a real dilemma for me - do I import at Full or do I import at Large? Where does one notice the difference? If I blow up the 960 file to display the same size as the 1920 file, I can totally see artifacts on my 30" ACD, but would they show up on my Pioneer plasma TV? PDP-5070HD (1365x768))
Assuming I stay on Full quality - is there any way I can accurately tell how much hard drive space an import is going to consume? Right now my 60GB drive is rammed to the gills and I want to dump it all, but I need to make sure I have the space. 1:8?

Hi
*First: it sounds like you are not importing to iMovie, it sounds like you are trying to browse to the clips. That may not work.*
Ok - I was trying to import and also to view directly on the camcorder (but not at the same time). It was maybe 2 questions rolled into one so apologies if that was confusing...
*Second:You have SD and HD mixed, All of the SD has to be imported before any HD can be imported according to the manual.*
So what would I do, import SD movies first, and then delete it to then import HD specifically? Or do I just import SD and then import HD separately without deleting SD footage from the camcorder?
*Third point: The clips can be on the hard drive or the card. The camera has to be set to the media with the clips you want to import. If you recorded to the card, then switched to the hard drive, you won't be able to import the card video until you switch back.*
I dont have a card at the moment - only using the HDD.
*When you have the import working it is a matter of using the check box to select the clips you want.*
i assume iMovie loads them all up and asks you which ones you want to import?
*Alos one final point for video on the card I find it much easier to use a card reader to import. When I plug in the card reader to my usb port it mounts on the desk top, I start iMovie and the import screen comes up after iMovie is all opened up and running.*
I dont see much point in the card reader at the moment as the HDD is 120GB whereas I assume memory sticks only go to 8GB or so max...
*I hope I have been of some help.*
yes thanks for that - but am still confused by the whoel iMovie & HD import situation and how I should be doing it
All help appreciated

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?

Movies from my sony 7.2mp camera will not import into imovie?

hey guys,
im trying to import my videos from my sony cybershot digital camera into imovie and its mpeg, but further researching this problem imovie is supposed to reformat it automatically. i tried to do an import from "file" and selecting the video but it will not let me select the video, then i tried dragging it from finder into imovie but it just slides right off, THEN i tried to drag it from desktop to imovie and still did not work. if any1 can help me solve this id greatly appreciate it...thanks!

I just had the same problem yesterday trying to import video clips into iMovie from my Sony Cybershot camera and this is what I learned. iMovie evidently does not support every digital camera format. My clips were also mpeg and start with MOV. Evidently, they need to be converted to another format such as .dv; mpg4 or h.264 - the best quality being the .dv, as I understand it. You can do a web search for Video Converter programs that will do this conversion (some are free downloads). I found that I already had a program on my computer called Roxio Toast Titanium that easily converted my clips to .dv by just dragging them into the video pane and then hitting the Export button. Once the clips were converted to .dv, they imported easily and worked perfectly in iMovie. Good Luck!

Sony NEX-5N RAW file not recognized

I purchased and loaded from disk Adobe Elements 10. When I try to open a RAW file (.ARW) from my Sony NEX-5N I get a message that it can't be opened because it is the wrong type of file. How do I get Elements 10 to recognize the Sony NEX-5N RAW files?

this is the link for supported RAW formats

1. check which version of ACR is installed with your PSE
To check follow this :
Windows : Open Elements Editor from the welcome screen, then goto Help >> About Plugin >> Camer raw
Mac : Open Elements Editor , then goto Photoshop Elements menu>> About Plugin >> Camera raw and check the version
Check the version there, if its less that 6.5, then you have to update because the camers that you are usning , it requires 6.5 ACR version to work with PSE 10
To update goto Elements editor and and then goto help and update and this will show up the available updates for you PSE 10 which will include ACR as well, once the update is done and installed , then relaunch the PSE 10 editor and then check the version once again to be sure .
If it has updated to 6.5 or later then check your RAW files, they should work now..

WiFi Issue- Sony's website and apps not working..

I Have purchased a new Xperia Z1 (black) few days back.
Phone is working great except its WiFi.
I am explaining the issue.- when phone is connected to data connection of my sim card, all sony's official websites and sony's official apps and update center works fine.
But when phone is connected to a WiFi network then sony's website, sony's apps and update center don't work at all.
On any browser like chrome and many other when I try to open sonymobile.com, it shows error - "This webpage is not available."
And when I open sony's app like "Sony Select", Xperia Privilege (and many more)" it also shows error - Please check your internet connection".
And when I try To update available updates in Update Center, It shows error- "Pending For Network" and does not start updating apps.
All these issues are not there when I access internet from my sim card data connection.
I have updated my Xperia Z1 system software to latest version and also tried PC companion repair option.
Please help me to get rid of this issue.

please help me
as i am getting annoyed of this issue

Sony TRV-350 8mm will not import correctly into iMovie 8.0.4 (Any ideas?)

I purchased a Sony TRV-350 because it is supposed to play all 8mm tapes, and has a bridge function that converts analog signal to DV. The camcorder also has inputs to connect a VCR to the camcorder and convert the signal to DV. I am trying to import hundreds of VHS and 8mm tapes to iMovie. I connect the camcorder via firewire to the computer. The computer recognizes the camcorder and has control of the camcorder. When I try to import the video everything seems fine. I can import a five second clip or twenty min. clip. The problem starts after you click "Done" on the importing screen. The importing screen closes, and the clip appears in iMovie. The problem is when viewing the clip in iMovie it is only half the length of the import. (I import a 10 min clip, only 5 min shows in iMovie) It seems like every other second is missing. So far I have tried these trouble shooting tips.
1. Made sure the camera DV feature is turned on
2. Made sure the camera is set to ilink
3. The camera is set to NTSC with 30 FPS
4. Opened played a note and close Garageband
Someone suggested I should try find a copy of iMovieHD (6.0.3) and try importing the videos. If you think this will work let me know.
Any suggestions, idea or help would be greatly appreciated. I am a new mac user, so please give detailed instructions.
Thanks for your time.
Tyrel

I believe the new 8 core mac pro only has firewire 800 connecters. So you would need a converter cable to connect your camera. Is that how you system is setup? If so, what kind of converter are you using? That could be the cause of your problem. A blue screen usually means you have some sort of connection issue.

Sony WX7 .mts video files not imported into iPhoto 11

Apple indicates iLife ’11 supports AVCHD (.mts) files, however, I've been unable to get iPhoto 11 to import video files from the Sony WX7 camera. Photo's are imported properly via both usb and directly from the SD card reader in my Macbook Pro (i7) 2011, however, video files are not. I've read that iMovie '08 supports Sony AVCHD 2011-model video cameras, but iPhoto 11 appears not to.
Mac OS X v10.6.7, is fully up to date. Has anybody found a solution?

Not sure where you are seeing that AVCHD is supported in iPhoto '11 but it is not - use iMovie to import your AVCHD movies - that works for my my Sony DSC-HX5

Theme and Template not importing correctly

I have exported the theme and template file. At the import site the template and theme did not install correctly.
I can see that it is using the same theme as the source environment, but it will not appear.
Any ideas?

You've got two issues going on.
One- never put anything besides the .dwt template files in
the Templates
folder.
Also- the paths need to work IN the template.
The images aren't showing here:
http://www.und.edu/dept/art/Templates/MAIN.dwt
So dw is making wrong paths to them in the child pages.
Use the "browse to file" dialog box to pick the images.
And if any of them are in the Templates folder, use the Dw
files panel to
move them.
Second issue:
Your dw "site" is defined to a subfolder of the domain,
/dept/art/ as far as
i can guess. But you've used site root relative paths in the
Template. Site
root relative paths start with a leading /slash. It tells the
browser to
start from the domain name's root level.
Only use Document Relative paths if the site is defined to a
subfolder of a
domain. (look for the pulldown in the bottom of the browse to
file dialog
box)

Skipped Panther, address and mail not importing

I skipped the upgrade to panther, now I'm on tiger. For some reason I can't import all of my old mail, and nothing from my address book. Is there a fix or patch I can do to get them to jump over? I have important stuff in there!
Also I can't make new mailboxes in the new mail. I get this error:
MAILBOX CREATION FAILED
Unable to create path ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/adga.mbox.

I forget which other thread I found this in or who suggested it, but all my mail problems are solved by very carefully following these instructions:
The portions you have cited were very specific to that poster's situation. What we need to review for you, are the methods of importing an entire Mail folder taken from Mail 1.3, into Mail 2.0.
In the Tiger Mac, quit Mail, and in the Finder, open Home/Library/Preferences and locate the com.apple.mail.plist file, and delete it. Next, still in the Finder on the Tiger Mac, open Home/Library and find the Mail folder, and delete it (or drag to the Desktop, if uncomfortable).
Next place a copy (but not with Copy in the name) of the Mail folder from the Panther Mac in the Library of your Home folder, and also place a copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file into Home/Library/Preferences.
Next, in the Mail folder you have just placed onto the Tiger Mac, open EVERY xxxx.mbox file, in every account folder, and in the Mailboxes folder, and delete all files EXCEPT the Info.plist and the mbox files. Again, do this for every mailbox. If you have any xxxx.imapmbox folder, post back for further instructions.
Once all the mailboxes have been cleaned up to contain only the mbox file and Info.plist file, launch Mail. It will announce it is ready to import your mailboxes -- allow this to continue, and be patient. Once this is finished, quit Mail, and again in the Finder examine every xxxxx.mbox folder, or at least the larger ones, and compare the size of the Messages folder that will have been created, with the size of the original mbox file. If the Messages folder size equals, or exceeds that of the mbox file, delete the mbox file.
If you find some Messages folders that are smaller than the mbox file, or any Messages folders, with appended characters in the name, post that information here, and I will assist in dealing with those.
Once this is finished, again launch Mail, and test by opening your various mailboxes, and checking for messages.
Ask any questions needed to be comfortable with this, and of course maintain a copy of the files from the Panther Mac, either in it, or in other folders on your Tiger Mac.
