Sony Z7 Card Files-FCP 6.0.2 ...

Dear All,
A very basic question which I feel sure you can solve in a flick of an eye:
I have a Sony Z7 camera which records HDV on 16G Compact Flash cards. I have conducted a test and shot a few minutes worth.
So that FCP can read and deal with the files on the card, it system tells me that I need FCP version 6.0.2, whereas I have 6.0.1.
How can this upgrade be accomplished? I have started a 'Software Update' off the 'interweb' and within all the incoming files, there's nothing that says 'Final Cut Pro Update' ... or could it be in 'Pro Applications Update'?
As I said, a very simple question from someone very simple!
Any clues as to this necessary update?
Regards,
sky-pix

The update now shows that I have 6.0.2 however ...
I have shot a few minutes of footage on my new 16G UDMA 300x Compact Flash Card.
I created a file on my desktop and, using the Lexar UDMA card reader, dragged all the files on the card into the file.
Opening Final Cut Pro, I went to FILE > IMPORT > FILES and went to the file on the desktop. The fiies in the folder remained grey until I selected "Show: All Files".
If I select 'All', I get an error message saying:
File Error: 13 file(s) recognised, 0 access denied, 13 unknown
If I select the '.MT2' files, I get an error message saying:
File Error: 6 file(s) recognised, 0 access denied, 6 unknown
Where am I going wrong?

Can't import from Sony XDCAM memory card to FCP 6

I can't import from Sony XDCAM memory card to FCP 6.01 HD. Am using Macbook Pro, 2 gig of RAM. This is my first time NOT using tape. I can copy the files off the memory card onto an external drive (to free up the card for pro crew's next day's shoot), but can't import either to FCP. Do I need to convert the files in some way before FCP can read them? Need to fix this problem fast as the crew are off to Nepal for 2 week shoot.

Laura,
First, I'm assuming that you're referring to the XDCAM EX. You'll need to install the FCP 6.0.2 upgrade, which contains the XDCAM EX codecs.
Second, You'll need to install the PDZK-P1 Transfer Application, and use that to import your EX clips into FCP. I just noticed that there is a new version available, 2.5.1 which is labeled specifically for Tiger/Leopard. I haven't tested this version yet, and will report back on any stability issues. We're currently running version 2.1.1, without many issues.

Sony EX XDCAM from FCP MAC cannot be recognized by PC

Not sure if this is a quick fix, but my CGI guy - who works by remote - cannot get his PC to recognize my XDCAM EX 108024p clips from my MAC - which I have exported as MXFs using the SONY XDCAM export option in Export>using qt conversion. I sent him the link to the driver, and he said it installed fine - but still his computer was not recognizing the MXF file. Does he need a program to convert?
Basically, I am looking for a lossless way to give him my Sony EX1 files that he can work with on his PC (in studio max) and then export to a lossless format that I don't have to render in FCP.
Any tips or suggestions most welcome. This is my first time editing a program with EX 1 files in FCP.

I'm using the Sony XDCAM transfer 2.5.1 to bring in the clips from card into FCP. The clip browser I downloaded yesterday and I tried to get it to recognize an MXF file that I had exported from FCP using the sony xdcam plug-in (but it did not). I guess I can only use the MP4s to convert to MXF? Is there a difference going from FCP compared to Clip Browser? I want to be able to export cut sequences so that the CGI guy can composite...

How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5.

How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5. I tried the file DNG converter 8.3, but it did not work. I was able to download it, but upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5, it reads the jpg files fine, but not the RAW files. I thought the DNG converter 8.3 was the right file, but apparently it is not. Perhaps I need to do something in Photoshop CS5 to initiate it, or place it in a particular directory.. Please help.

First of all, you should have used the Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, not an old, obsolete version. Always use the very latest version. 8.3 was simply the first ACR version to support your camera model, that's all.
Note that the DNG Converter works only on folders, not on individual raw files. Put all your Sony raw files in a folder and run the Converter on that folder containing the raw files.
I have absolutely no clue as to what on Earth you mean by : "upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5".
You also need to make sure that CS5 is fully updated. You cannot rely on the highly and notoriously unreliable Adobe auto updater to tell whether you have the latest update installed or not.
I still have no idea what platform you are on, Mac or Windows. Please read the following for next time:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

Import Sony RAW .arw files not automatic

I decided to take the plunge yesterday I downloaded the trial LR2 (now 2.1) and purchased Kelby's Lightroom 2 book. All my catalog from PSE6 imported without a hitch. That's over 12000 photos with about half of them Minolta (.mrw) and Sony RAW (.arw) files. Then I decided to import the shots I had just taken from a weekend photoshoot. I plugged in my CF into the card reader and started LR. When I clicked on the IMPORT button for my CF location all I got was the message "NO PHOTOS WERE FOUND TO IMPORT". I can import the files using the manual CHOOSE FILE option but I want it to work just like PSE with auto import. From what I understand that should be the case. After a Google search I found importing Sony RAW images (.arw) was an issue in LR1, but shouldn't Aobe have fixed it by now?? Just as an aside, if I'm having this issue with .arw files, when I import the RAW images from my Minolta 7Hi I wonder if I'll have the same issue.
Since its a trail version I'm not eligible for Adobe support, so there is no help coming from there.

This is a known bug! Import the files trough "Import Photos from disk", thats easy en works fine for me! <[email protected]> schreef in bericht news:[email protected].. >I decided to take the plunge yesterday I downloaded the trial LR2 (now 2.1) >and purchased Kelby's Lightroom 2 book.

It may be possible to recover deleted pictures or data by using the Memory Card File Rescue 3D software at http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?template=EN&mdl=&upd_id=7184&SMB=YES.
Otherwise, the SD card may need to be sent to a professional data recovery service company, like Sony Media Services or DriveSavers Data Recovery.

P2 camera question - which video files do I keep, Card files or Quicktime?

Hi everyone,
I use a P2 camera.
In final cut pro, when I log and transfer I get Quicktime files made up and they sit in my "Capture Scratch" folder.
I have been reading via this forum that I should also copy the entire contents of the P2 card to my hard drive.
As this eventually fills up my hard drive quicker, is there anything negative about wiping my P2 cards as soon as I "Log and Transfer", since I can simply keep my converted Quicktime files.
Or should I be asking, Which format is better to keep? The MXF files or Quicktime?
Thanks for your assistance.
Kris

Thanks everyone for your input.
I am not a high end user of the P2 and my workflow isn't all about having clients in and mixing edit systems between Avid and FCP, and most certainly any clients wouldn't be walking out with the master copy of the MXF files, only a DVD of the finished product.
I work for a Health Union and I'm usually filming around hospitals and Ambulances, and filming the odd press conference as well as full day health forums etc.
I do like Shane Ross' theory of "What if a future version of FCP supports native MXF editing." As well as the fact that storage is so cheap now.
Up until now I have dumped the cards files to the trash after log and transfer and I have edited the Quicktime files without saving the MXF files. So far this has worked for me and I simply import the the old Quicktime files from the original project to the new project if I ever need to use the footage again in a future video. (This usually happens as I edit a yearly wrap up video for the Union which encompasses all footage that I've used over the past 12 months).
So I guess I'll keep doing what I've been doing and look into keeping the MXF files when i acquire more hard drive space. At least for the time being I'm not shooting myself in the foot with a really dodgy workflow.
My questions have been answered and I appreciate everyones time and efforts in replying to me. Cheers.

Sony's XAVC files? Nope. Not true.

Durring purchase, I was told by a chat agent that Elements would handle Sony's XAVC files.
Not True! I want my money back!!!!!
No phone or chat available that I can find.
I am contacting my credit card company to stop payment.

This is not Adobe. Rather a user to user forum.
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and how many days since the date of purchase and did you purchase from Adobe direct?
If purchased from Adobe direct within the last 30 days and you want your money back, then please click on the following link

If not purchased from Adobe direct, then you will need to deal with the seller and the seller's policy regarding return/refund.
Premiere Elements 12 and 13 do indeed support XAVC-S video (import, edit, and export). If you want to explore your particular issue to find out the cause of your problem, we need details which you are not including - how is it not working and all the rest?

I am trying to capture from Sony HDV 1080i VTR FCP giving an error of not able to initialize

i am trying to capture from Sony HDV 1080i VTR FCP giving an error of not able to initialize. I am not able to capture the content in DV mode. i am using a Firewire 800 to 400 converter and a 6 pin firewire cable to connect to the SonyHDV VTR. Please suggest me how do i do this.

The 800-400 converter plugs have proved a problem for this. What version of the software are you using. It sounds like an older version of FCP, if so you should ask your question on the Final Cut Studio forum.

Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310 - HELP

Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310.
I had a battery drain problem. The unit would only last 16 hours before completely drained. Purchased a new battery with the same result. I figured that I should try a complete reset so I did a hard wipe. Once that was done and I loaded the unit back up and returned online, the battery drain problem was resolved but now I can not access the media card.
Here are the messages:
“A media card has been inserted that contains encrypted content which will be unaccessible by this device”
I can see the files. I have transferred them to my PC via the SD card but I can not open them. Here are the settings:
Media card support – ON
Encryption Mode: - Security Password & Device
Encrypt Media Files – YES
Mass Storage Mode Support – OFF
Please note – I can not change the encryption mode since it is set by policy
Security Options – General Settings – Content Protection – Disabled
The version of Desktop Manage I am using is 4.2.1.8. When I try to use the Media Manager to move the files, I get an error message and can’t move the file. If I access the file on the card and try to display it, I get:
Unable to display file /media card/ pictures/ing000000xx.jpg.rem
Here is what I have tried (from the advice on this board):
1)     Read the files directly off the media card – No good
2)     Create a “new” folder on the media card and move a file into it then try to read it – No good
3)     Email the file then read it – No good
4)     Reset Encryption mode to off then try – Can’t do it – IT Policy setting
5)     Be sure that the password was set the same as before the wipe (setting is password & device) – Can’t do it – The Blackberry prevents me from using an old password.
So I think I can’t read the files because I can’t replicate the encryption key. Could that be right? My problem is that I do not understand why this would be the case. It is still the same device and since it knows what the old password was (because it would prevent me from using it again), why would it not generate a key to access the files?
All I am trying to get off the card are pictures on my 6 year old … some are priceless. Can someone help me do this? One would think that this should not be this hard but from all the postings I have found, it seems that it is. And yes, shame on me for not moving the files before I did the reset (THAT will never happen again!) but this being unrecoverable is unconscionable given how many seem to find themselves in this situation.
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Not sure why you couldn't see them using mass storage mode. Did you have the pics stored on your media card? Try going to media-menu-explore-media card-blackberry-pictures See what the extension is on your pics. If any have the extension such as .jpg.rem they are encrypted.

Java Card File System ...Please reply

Hi all ,
I am working on Java Card technology for last one year . Presently I am facing some problem regarding some file concept of java card .
I know that Java Card 2.1 does not support file system . But I want to simulate the file system in java card using applets . i.e . I want to write an application(applet) , which can simulate the EF , DF in smart card . Whenever APDU command is send to the file system applet , it should generate a Elementary file (EF) or dedicated file (DF) etc and store data to that file.
Can I do this type of thing using Java Card ? I am really in doubt .
If you have any idea on this , please let me know your view on this . If you know any open source code for this type of simulated Java card file system , please let me know .
I am desperately looking for a help .
regards
Dibyendu .
you can contact me to this email
[email protected]

dear duran ,
You have written that
"Follow the guidelines for the different supported filesystems on the JC"
But after Java Card version 2.0 , it does not support file system . I am using Java Card 2.1 .
Could please some sample code to my mail Id , so that I can take a look at it .
My mail id is : [email protected]
Please share the idea , as I am really need some help.

Credit card file upload(Tcode: PRCC) in a batch process

Hi all,
Is it possible to make credit card file upload(Tcode: PRCC) in a batch process.
when i tried doing so got message "frontend function cannot be created in batch mode" .
I am aware that it is because this program is using "GUI_UPLOAD" function module which is for front end only and not for background processing.
But as this is standard program I cannot change method of uploading flat file.
Please suggest me any method to solve my requirement. I need to make credit card file upload in a batch process.
Thanks ,
Snehal

Check mark parameter 'File is not local' for SAP to read file from application server (file is read using open dataset instead of gui_upload). This would allow you to run this tcode in background.

Can't view Sony RAW (.ARW) file in Adobe Bridge

Hi all,
Need some assistance here.
I'm currently using Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
I've installed the Adobe Camera Raw update version 4.6.
With this, I'm able to do the relevant editing with the Sony Alfa raw files (.ARW) in Camera Raw.
But the funny thing is, when using adobe bridge I can't view the thumbnails as I view it in camera raw / photoshop.
The thumbnails is "blank". This only happens on .ARW files. I'm able to view jpeg files in thumbnail.
When I check the camera raw preferences in adobe bridge, it shows me it's 4.6.
I'm currently using Mac OS X (Leopard).
Do any of you faced this before?
Hope that any of you could shed a light on this matter.
Thank you in advance.

Have you figured out a workaround for this? Most of the forums regarding this issue
are windows related or full of arguments. I'm guessing there may not be a solution to this problem so I'm curious what approach you're taking.
Thanks!
