Transfer SD quality clips from camera to FCE

I did some footage on my Sony HDR-SR7E Handycam in SD quality.
Can somebody please tell me how to get the clips into FCE.
I tried the import file option. It sees the clips, but on choosing them always gives me
an error message.

If it is standard definition it will almost certainly be the wrong format.
FCE can only work with DV.
Try simply copying the video file to your desktop and then use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to DV.
Streamclip is free but you may have to download the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component from Apple for $20.

Upload Videos from camera to FCE 4!! HELP

Heyy!
So I just got Final cut express 4, and i have no idea how to upload my clips on to it!!
Can somebody help me??
I have a SONY Handycam DCR-SR68
--this is the camera im getting nowhttp://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=1055 1&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666294177#features
Do these cameras even work with Final Cut Express 4?
HELP PLEASE

The HDR-PJ10 is also an AVCHD camcorder; should work with FCE fine. But make sure you update FCE to version 4.0.1
In FCE, select the Easy Setup (Final Cut Express > Easy Setup) that matches how you shot the video in your camcorder (for example, AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60). Then connect your camera via USB and turn it on in playback mode. Then in FCE do File > Log and Transfer. This will open a window that will allow you to transfer the video clips from your camcorder to FCE.
However, it sounds like you need to take the time to learn the basics of FCE. Tom has twice suggested you read the manual (it is the Help file that you can acces through FCE by doing Help > Final Cut Express User Manual.
You will also benefit if you get a copy of Tom's book Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop. You should also take a look at Izzy Video's Final Cut Express Tutorial videos.

No audio from clips from camera

I am using iMovie HD 6 and I have transferred my clips from cam corder. The problem I am having is that I am manually dragging video clips from my camera to iMovie and the clips go in except they have no audio. Any solutions to this problem would be great...

What kind of camcorder are we talking about? I suspect this isn't a tape based MiniDV type camera, right? And instead you are importing from some sort of DVD, Flash, or hard drive based camera? If so are the videos in MPEG format when you add them to iMovie?
QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos they sometimes only get the video and no sound since iMovie (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.
Here is an article explaining it when you try to convert video to iPod format...
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

Transferring clips from iMovie to FCE and back without losing quality

I wish to export a clip from an iMovie HD 6.0.3 DV PAL Widescreen project into FCE HD 3.5.1 to apply a video filter and then export it back into iMovie . Can anyone tell me what settings to use for the exports/imports and also which Easy Setup to use in FCE, in order to do this without any loss of video quality (apart from any resulting from applying the filter). The clip is a DV clip captured originally from a Canon XL H1. Thanks.

Tom,
I'm still having problems. Final import back into iMovie is poor quality and slightly squashed (Black space at left hand side). My import and export settings are probably not exactly right. Would appreciate it if you could tell me in detail what these settings should be. Thanks again for your help so far and apologies for taking up your time.
Maurice.

Trouble importing AVCHD clips from camera

Yesterday I was using my Canon Vixia HG20 to record AVCHDclips, which records it in a .cpi file. Although I’m unable to play them onQuickTime, I was able to import them through Final Cut Pro X by using “ImportFrom Camera”. Then I was able to edit the videos with no problems. But nowtoday, after recording more footage, when I hook up my camera to my MacBook Pro2011 entry level 15” (the same computer I used yesterday) my camera doesn’t evenshow up on the list in Import From Camera; the only camera in the list is thebuilt in FaceTime camera. I’m not sure if it makes a difference, but both todayand yesterday I have been using a PlayStation 3 charger cable to connect thecamera to the laptop. Any ideas on how to get the camera to show up in thelist, or at least another way to edit these files? Also, I read on anothersimilar post that their camera wouldn’t show up on Final Cut Pro X but it wouldfor iMovie, however I tried this and my camera won’t show up on the Import FromCamera list on iMovie either.

If I open the chip has the structure of extension file. 1920x1080 MTS format (1080/60i), after using the program sony the extension of the file becomes as written previously tried to import the file. Dragged from MTS clip the desktop, and nomatter, I wonder if I use ClipWrap which settings should I use to lose nothing in image quality?

I created an Imovie on Ipad. Before exporting the Imovie, I deleted the video clips from camera roll. Error message "this proj. contains clips which have been deleted from your photo library." Help! Can I recover the "preview" file of my video in Imovie?

Is there an app out there to find the files within Imovie app on my Ipad where the Imovie "preview" is playing from?
I deleted the original vidoe clips from my Camera Roll before exporting the Imovie to Youtube because my camera roll was out of memory.
I'm using the latest Imovie app for Ipad.
Cheers

Getting a clip from Youtube to FCE?

How can i get a clip off youtube to FCE?
ex. URL: http://youtube.com/watch?v=t648Rixo2WY

Easiest way is going to be to drop a few bucks for a utility like TubeSock. There are free ways, but they're tedious, and many of them require Quicktime Pro. Search the forums if you want.

How do I upload video clips from camera onto icloud

How do I upload videos taken from my camera which are on my laptop to iCloud?

Hi Lynda
miniDVD Cameras are not to use when one wants to edit the material
they are built for - direct playback
iMovie and FinalCut needs miniDV (tape) Cameras with a FW-out
Your Camera probably doesn't have FW out but USB and analog out.
You can: load Your movie file into the Mac via a DVD-reader that is not slot loaded
and from here use converting programs to get a file-type that iM or FCE/P
can read (With quality losses)
or
Connect an A/D-box from analog-out on Camera and FW to Mac.
Also with quality losses.
Recommendation Primary: Exchang Camera to a miniDV (tape) one
really the best way.
Yours Bengt W

Capturing clips from youtube with FCE

Did a search on here but didn't find anything helpful, but is it possible to capture an HQ clip on youtube, using FCE4?
Would appreciate any help and advice,
Thanks,
Terry

No, not with FCE. But since youtube uses Flash, you'd be better off (quality-wise) with the original media. Contact the copyright holder and negotiate with them to provide you with a copy of the original media as part of the rights package.

Transfer High Quality photos from iPhone to iPhoto

Is there a way to transfer the High Quality photos taken on my iPhone to iPhoto on my Mac? Currenlty it always transfers a Lower Quality photo.

I think you are asking, "How do I transfer Iphoto albums to my MacBook?"
If so it will cost you. Ive been told by Apple Support that your iphone photos albums are merely a mirror of the original photos. It is not an extra copy or a back up.
You can get a third party software from http://www.ecamm.com
Its called "PhoneView" There is a free version and one for 19.99.
I ended up getting both. It sure beats email all those cropped photos I put in albums to myself.
That would have taken forever so the 19.99 is worth it. Good Luck!

Importing clips from Imovie into FCE - Clips don't match

Yes I am opening the right clips

ok I have worked around it a little by importing all the footage and that way I get most of it but still not all of it makes it through
