Unable to capture video from Sony Handycam

I am running Premiere CS6 on Win7 Ultimate 64bit. My Handycam is connected via Firewire PCI board. Premiere recognizes the camera, and I am able to use the capture window to move the tape FW and rewind, but when I attempt to play the tape, Premiere bombs and goes to the desktop. I had selected standard capture NTSC since the Handycam isn't HD. I am able to capture the same video without any problems in Vegas and Pinnacle. Is it the settings? Any help would be appreciated!

I had the earlier PC100 for many years and did occasionally have problems with capture whenever I upgraded my PC (I have built my own for the last 20 years).  Premiere has had issues with certain chipsets on PCI boards for a few years, also the PCI card has to have the correct drivers installed and probably your card let Windows install its own drivers.  The link that Ann posted should have the information to solve your problem, I have looked though it and it uses the same process that I used on my old Win7 PC when a new PCI Firewire card did not work after I fitted it.  If this does not work for you then a new card PCI with Texas chipset may solve your problem

  • Unable to capture video from Sony HD HDR-HC7

    I am trying to import video from a Sony HD HDR-HC7 into Final Cut Pro 5.1.1 using the log an capture feature. I have tried most combinations of the presets, but the device is never seen.
    iMove (both iLife8 and the earlier version) has no problem at all seeing the camera. However, I do have to set the camera to HDVout rather than DVout for iMovie to see it.
    Thanks.

  • Unable to capture video from webcam in JMF in xlet

    hi
    I am unable to capture video from webcam in an Xlet. I am using Xletview to run Xlet. The method CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(vidformat) returns empty array. Which videoformat should I use and why do I get empty array?
    Thanks

    MHP and OCAP only use JMF 1.0, which does not include support for capturing video. You will not be able to do this in any current MHP/OCAP imlementation that I know of.

  • Unable to capture video from VHS through DAC-200

    (Running Final Cut Pro 5.1.4)
    I have a DAC-200 to hook up my VCR to my G5 in order to capture video from VHS tapes into Final Cut. I had this set-up working a few months ago, but it was disconnected to rearrange equipment and now I can't get it working again. I have followed the advice from the DAC-200 installation instructions and advice from other forum topics but can't seem to get it to work. I finally was able to get something in the log and capture window besides "preview disabled" and "cannot capture because there is no video." I now can get Final Cut to capture video, however it only captures a blank black screen (and this is all I can see in the preview window).
    I've triple-checked every cable hook-up, the G5 recognizes the converter box, the video tape plays fine to a tv. I've even had our IT-guy here at work come check out my set-up for help and he can't figure out what is wrong either. (He did get my log&capture window to get white fuzz in the black screen at one point though. Does that mean anything?)
    Any help is greatly appreciated! (I'm happy to answer any other questions too.) Thanks!

    I had difficullty with the X.4.10 plus QT7.2 and put my info on the Forum as well as sending feedback to Apple. Shortly afterwards, Apple brought out a short security update which I downloaded and, hey presto, I was then able to use QT7.2 with OSX.4.10. It may be that you missed out on the later small update to QT7.2..... ? Another factor I found was that some little while later I again had a problem so I again installed QT7.2 and over-installed FCP5.1.4 which has resolved my problems for the time being. Worth a try if you still can't get through on the DAC.

  • Importing a Video from Sony Handycam

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 / Premier Elements 8.0, and when I've been importing videos from my Sony Handycam (HDR-CX7), the Adobe software is downloading the entire video, but it seems to be putting an incorrect duration on the video. For example, the imported video is 5 minutes, but it shows up in Elements at 1.5 minutes.  If I start from the front, it will play the first 1.5 minutes. If I scroll to the end, and rewind back 30 seconds, it will play until the 1.5 minute total again. If I watch the video in Windows Media player, it will play the entire 5 minute video.  Anybody have a solve for this, or an explanation on why its happening?

    I'd suggest asking this in the Premiere Elements forum, which is here:

    There are a lot more video mavens there than here and you'll probably get more responses. Good luck!

  • Importing video from sony handycam disc

    I am trying to load a DVD created from a Sony handycam and import the video to iMove HD. Does anyone know how to do this or do I need to connect the camera. I have 7 half hour discs that I am trying to combine for my mother. I thought I could do it with the discs but iMove won't recognize the files. Please help!!!

    Hi jay4,
    welcome to the  board
    1) iMovie is a video edit app meant to work with firewire connected miniDV camcorders
    2) slot-in drives can get damaged by inserting non-standard-size DVDs…
    3) disks have to be finalized first, read your camera's manual…
    4) DVD uses a delivery format, not meant for any further processing as editing…
    5) many options, to import DVDs:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/import dvd, hit apple-k

  • Getting video from Sony Handycam DVD 403

    Hello everyone.
    I'm hoping somebody has experience getting video from a Sony Handycam DVD 403 into iMovie6. I'm having troubles getting what I expect to happen to actually happen.
    I hooked up my Handycam to my PowerBook which the OS recognized as a DVD recorder. The disc I had in the camera at the time had about 20 minutes of video stored in a unfinalized state. Finder showed an empty folder.
    I tried entering iMovie and seeing if there were any tools in there that would help me but I couldn't find any. Nothing I did would show me the various clips that made up the 20 minutes of footage.
    I was ultimately able to get the video in a round-a-bout way by Finalizing the disc, extracing the resulting VOB from DVD, converting it to mpeg4 with VideoLAN, and then adding it to my clips in iMovie. However, this has two aspects I don't really care for:
    1) It took a couple of hours to do this. (I wasn't paying attention the whole time, but definately more than 90 minutes and less than 180 minutes).
    2) It made one large mpeg4 file. I would rather have had multiple smaller files that were originally on my camcorder.
    Does anyone have any tips or links to help me get the video straight off of the camcorder and into iMovie without resorting to VideoLAN and mpeg splitters (I haven't tried any mpeg splitters yet, but I'm guessing that is what I need to do to get my video clips into reasonable sizes).

    Thank you for the reply.
    This makes me sad, of course. When I bought the camcorder 6 months ago I had know real idea what I'd be using it for... just knew I wanted to record family gatherings, etc and have a DVD to watch when I was done. If I had planned ahead a bit more I would have got advice from the message boards first.
    Until I can find somebody willing to buy this device from me I guess I will have to make do with the long way around.

  • How do I dump videos from Sony handycam onto Mac?

    Just purchased a Sony Handycam. Seems I am unable to dump video onto my macbook pro.
    It's not a new macbook pro, but I upgraded my OS a few months ago to 10.6.8.
    Any advice? Though this would be easy. Not so much.

  • Capturing Video from Sony Digital8

    Hello and thanks in advance for any help and/or advice you might be able to provide.
    I'm trying to capture some old 8mm footage of my wife's family and create a memories type DVD. Its a noble cause, but there's a bunch of stuff to get through.
    Anyway, I have an old Sony DCR-TRV830 Digital 8 camcorder. Its hooked up via firewire (4pin) to a Canopus ADVC110 coverter (I don't have a 4pin to 6pin firewire cable...yet). I've read a bunch of posts and PP help pages about configuring the HD device control. Nothing I've tried (choosing the "standard" model or even the DCR-TRV530 as its nearly the same) has fixed the problem of the video not displaying.
    I can see and capture the video in Nero Vision without any issue.
    What am I missing?
    Oh, one other quick question - and I'm sure it could be classified as "dumb." Why don't I have an MPEG2 option when I export (media)? I feel not so smart for not being able to figure that out...
    Thanks!!!!!
    Dewey

    Craig & Howard - Thanks for the quick replies.
    Craig - I can record from a VCR through the ADVC110 (which is connected to my computer with 6pin firewire). As well, I can capture the TRV830 through Nero Vision. So I'm pretty sure the ADVC isn't the issue.
    Stanley - the TRV830 does play the video from the (old) 8mm tape. Just for some reason, Premiere doesn't get the signal (even though other programs do). I'd run the firewire (4pin to 6pin cable would need to be procured) directly to the computer, but the computer already recognizes the TRV830 in device manager through the ADVC unit.
    Any way to force Premiere to see the TRV830?
    Thanks again!!!

  • Importing video from Sony Handycam

    What is the proper workflow for importing video from my Sony DCR SR82 into iMovie '08?
    Anyone do this successfully?

    I just bought a related Sony camera, the DCR-SR220. I am still trying to figure out the optimal way, but have been able to see it on my imac by
    1) installing from Apple Software site Quicktime mpeg-2 playback component (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/) and
    2) installing MPEG Streamclip (www.squared5.com)
    1) Via USB I hook up my camera and it shows up as a harddisk. I then boot Streamclip and open the file(s) I want to open from the camera. This can take substantial time.
    2) Export as a Quicktime file (.mov)
    3) Open up the .mov file in iMovieHD and edit there.
    If you know of any better way, please let me know.
    Best from Jersey.

  • Unable to import video from Sony deck

    I've been using FCE HD3.0 for well over a year with excellent results. I got tired of wearing out the heads on my camera using it to access footage so I broke down and purchased a Sony HVR-M15U editing deck. I'm able to control the device from the desktop quite well. However, every time I click the "capture now" button to import video, I get a gray screen overlaying the desktop and at the bottom it says "Allocating disk space" and my external drive(which has plenty of space) whirs for at least 3-4 minutes, after which I get another message stating, "Waiting for timecode. Device must be in VTR mode when device control enabled." This despite the fact that underneath the viewer, it states "VTR okay." I haven't been able to import a thing. Any ideas? I'm using OS10.4 with iMac G5 with Power PC chips. Thanks.

    G'Day Dan,
    Have you upgraded to 3.0.1?
    Os 10.4 what? There was trouble with 10.4.9.
    Does the deck have a Master/Slave setting?. Switch to Slave mode if so.

  • Capturing video from Sony  DCR-SR32E to Final Cut express

    I have a Sony DCR-SR32E camcorder and visited the Genius Bar recently, it appears it's one of the few camcorders not supported in iMovie and was told by the genius that I needed to ask Sony for an mpeg-2 codex.
    Sony re-directed me to search for one on the internet and could be of no further assistance. Can anyone recommend an mpeg2 codec that will convert modd or mpg files so that I can use the Final Cut I purchased or if not that at least iMovie.
    Unfortunately I seem to have a MAC, that I bought specifically for editing video, that can't handle the Sony files and a Sony Camcorder that I can't use as the HD is full

    This forum is the Final cut express forum so it's best to post in the iMovie forum for iMovie stuff.
    Even if you are using FCE the files from this camera will not work directly.
    You will require a transcode to Quicktime using an application like Mpeg Streamclip.
    You may have to purchase the Apple Mpeg viewing software as well to minoitor the video if required.
