TS3720 Sony Handycam HDR-PJ580V -- Any suggestions for compatibility and quick view?

Considering this camera as backup.
Just want to quick view footage and import it to MediaFire or Box or DropBox to view and share there.

Imovie HD and Final Cut Express HD3.5 have no problems capturing video from the HC-3. The problem you are having is setting up the video camera to output the video so that you can capture video.
Here are the settings for your camera: I have the same camera
1.Click picture menu on HC-3, then click menu tab
2.Scroll down on with arrow icons till you reach the STANDARD SET
3.Click on STANDARD SET= Click on VCR HDV/DV make sure you have it set to AUTO or HDV
4.Go back to the standard set menu and scroll down till you see i.LINK CONV
5.Click i.LINK CONV make sure that you turn this option off and save all your setting on the camera
6.Turn off the camera reboot your Mac Open Imovie HD
7.Then Click the Capture Icon for Imovie HD then turn on your HC-3 you should be all set. Good Luck. I also have Final Cut Express HD3.5 and that will work as well as long as the settings for the camera is setup properly same settings posted above.
If you have a PS3 export to APPLE TV FORMAT burn to DVD with Toast UDF DVD= the file size is small and yet the video looks really good I dont know how apple did it but this compression is awesome, and doesnt take years to encode ( like HD DVD in compressor ) no menus or anything like that but if you want a high resolution video 960X540 this is a good compromise.

  • Any suggestions for choir and Gregorian voice samples for EXS24?

    I need good choir and Gregorian voice samples for the EXS24 and have not found much to choose from on the internet. Spectrasonics' Symphony of Voices is $500 and is not EXS24 format although they claim because it is Akai format, EXS24 should read it. Still, it's a lot of cash to drop on a sample set without it being in EXS24 format. I need choir and Gregorian voices that will work well for a gothic sound. Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks.

    The Spectrasonics set is very, very good, and it converts into the EXS (from the Akai, at least) quite nicely.
    Whether or not it's worth that kind of doe is only something you can decide. I never regretted buying that library though. The Pop stacks are worth it alone if you ever need "Enya" type vocal pads. I still haven't found anything better.
    And the specialized stuff, like the Gregorian chants, is all extremely well done.

  • Is Sony Handycam HDR-SR10 a supported device for Premiere Elements 10?

    Is the Sony Handycam HDR-SR10 a supported device for Premiere Elements 10?

    happyherbert
    I cannot give any guarantee as to whether you can make a USB connection between camcorder and computer/Premiere Elements 10 Get Media/"Flip, AVCHD, Cameras, Phones or Removal Drive"/Video Importer but it might work.
    But worst case, which is not so bad, is transferring the AVCHD files to the computer hard drive and then importing the files into a Premiere Elements 10 project with the program's Get Media/Files and Folders.
    If you have Full 1080i30, then the project preset that you would set before you import the files would be
    NTSC
    AVCHD
    Full HD 1080i30
    We can discuss more about settings when you have more details.
    You are at a disadvantage with Premiere Elements 10 on Windows Vista (32 or 64 bit). In that arrangement, Premiere Elements 10 is a 32 bit application with the limitations of 32 bit system. AVCHD is a rather resource demanding format. If Premiere Elements 10 were on specifically Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then it would be a 64 bit application that could take advantage of the 64 bit resources. All that would translate into getting a larger project taken to successful completion with a greater frequency.
    Please review and then we can go further into the details and then decide what next.
    Thanks.

  • When I try to import clips from my Sony Handycam HDR-CX150 only non-HD clips show up.

    When I try to import clips from my Sony Handycam HDR-CX150 only non-HD clips show up. I have imported HD content successfully many times before. Any suggestions?

    iMovie's supported cameras site shows this for your camera:
    The supported camera site is here:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
    Apparently the import problem was resolved in update 9.0.1 (the latest version of iMovie '11 is 9.0.2) - see the article link in my first post above.

  • Sony Handycam HDR no longer recognized

    I have a Sony HDR HDD camcorder that, for quite a while now, had no issues with its 4pin DV-USB cable (that came with it) connection to my Mac Pro being recognized by iMovie 9. I haven't made a video in a couple of months, but recently, I filmed about 3 hours worth of wedding footage, connected the camcorder to the Mac as before, iPhoto recognized it instantly (and auto-launched as always) but iMovie refuses to believe the camcorder exists.
    I've been told that no stores sell Sony's proprietary DV cables for their products (which makes since as universality would only benefit consumers and not businesses). Additionally, some go so far as to say Sony doesn't even make such a firewire cable to handle an issue wherein iMovie 9 now requires a firewire connection—or so I've heard.
    1) Has iMovie 9 been nerfed in some update that now requires camcorders to be connected via firewire now.
    2) If so, is there some method to import the videos either directly to the finder or into iMovie without the need for a potentially non-existent DV-Firewire cable?
    PS: The connection is no longer recognized on my iMac as well.

    Well… I opened Image Capture with the camcorder plugged in and modified the "Connecting this camera opens…" menu to be iMovie. Unfortunately, all that resulted in was opening iMovie upon connecting the camera. iMovie still refuses to acknowledge that the camcorder is connected.
    Related: This is my work machine, wherein we do moderate amounts of video capture and I am using iMovie '08 7.1.4 on OS X 10.6.8. I'm really disappointed in Apple having altered something within iMovie (or the OS) that prevents the camcorder from being recognized. The last import I had performed was March 25, 2011.
    More info regarding the camcorder: Sony Handycam HDR-SR11 60GB HDD. I am going to try to burn straight to DVD and then try and import from that, but that is, of course, not ideal. I'd much prefer to import into iMovie directly from the camera as I used to be able to do.
    EDIT: I'm guessing you need to install the Picture Motion Browser software for the Disc-Burn feature of the camcorder to work. And that is only available on a Windows-based PC.

  • Sony HandyCam HDR-XR200

    Hi All,
    I just bought a sony handycam and found out that it is not compatible with my Mac (OS X 10.4.4). I was told, however, that the camera IS compatible with iMovie 2009. iMovie 2009 is too advanced for my Mac, so I would need to buy a new iMac. I was thinking about buying a newer Mac anyway, but can someone confirm this please?
    Thank you!!!
    Brian

    Hello,
    I have also the sony handycam hdr-xr200.
    The handycam is working 50% with iMovie 08. One time iMovie 08 can see the handycam and the other time he doesn't see te handycam.
    I don't know why that is.
    Is somebody knowing if it with iMovie 09 for the full 100% works?
    I'am from the Netherlands so my English is not so best, sorry for that and I hope that you can understand what I have written.
    I hope somebody have an answer.
    Best regards,

  • Does anyone have any suggestions for Ad blocking? I'm getting a lot of pop up ads while using Facebook from Safari.

           I'm getting a lot of pop up ads. mostly while using  Facebook. I'm running Safari on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite. Does anyone have any suggestions for an Ad blocker. I don't see anything in the App store.
          I can't swear to it but I don't recall this being a problem pre-Yosemite. I could be wrong. I haven't been real active on Facebook until recently. I see some third party apps out there but am alway wary of non approved software.

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

    Hi All,
    I had this problem today myself, and was frustrated repeatedly by the '4002' error.
    I have literally just fixed the issue by doing the following steps:
    1: Go to the 'Store' tab and select 'Turn Off iTunes Match'
    2: Return to the 'Store' tab and select 'Update Genius'
    3: Wait for this to complete succesfully, the return to the 'Store' tab once more and select 'Turn On iTunes Match'.
    4: iTunes Match will now go through the motions and should succeed!
    I hope this helps

  • Any suggestion for a damaged logic board rather than buy a new computer

    Any suggestions for a damaged logic board rather than buying a new computer

    The most frequent RAM vendor recommendations are Crucial.com and MacSales.com (OWC).
    With respect the logic board, you could ask Apple about a "Fixed Price Repair" which will generally repair everything that is wrong with a Mac.

    Cannot display the screen of my macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. The Macbook is connected to the TV is over HDMI cable.  TV shows only the backgroud picture of the Lion OS and reacts even to mission control. Do you have any suggestions for help ?

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

    Hi Mark
    Was just looking for the answer to this exact question and I just found something that worked for me so don't know if it might be of use to you or you might have already solved your problem!  Basically when I was in iMovie and I clicked to import movies from the computer into iMovie and I found the clip I wanted to import, there are a few options.  I think it asked which Event I wanted to add it to but most importantly it asked me what file size I wanted...I had originally been clicking Large because it advised me to because it reduces the file size...but just on a chance there I selected 'Full - Original' for size and it imported perfectly into iMovie in it's original vertical form!
    Hope this helps!
