Upload Panasonic HDC-HSP

I am trying to upload footage from the hard drive off of a Panasonic HDC-HSP. From what I have read it seems that the only way it can be done on a mac is through iMovie. How exactly to I do so? I want to edit my footage in FCP2 after. Any insight would be most helpful.

Hello Wejebe
You should not have much of a problem doing this if you have updated your iMovie and QuickTime applications appropriately.
The only thing that will cause a problem with the uploading/importing of videos to iMovie would be the pre-record function (as noted with the SD5 version). If you have recorded with this function on, you may not be able to load (i will have to check it out myself to make sure).
Otherwise, iMovie 08 will automatically detect the camcorder when it is connected, turned to playback, PC Connection is selected and it makes a connection with the computer. At that point you should be able to import all of the scenes or selected scenes.
Hope this information is helpful! Let us know!

  • Uploading Panasonic HDC SD60 Video Issues

    I have a panasonic hdc sd 60 camera and I'm trying to upload videos on it onto my Mac. I plugged in the USB port into the camera and Mac, and pulled up the files. None of them can be viewed. The only types of files that seemed to be the unknown movie files were .cpi and .mts. I cant view or edit these files at all. What can I DO???

    Try using vlc.  It's a much more general player.

    Have you created a printer instance in your system, that corresponds to the physical printer?
    System Preferences / Print & Scan, click on the plus + button and find your printer: IP, Windows or Bonjour (Default). Make sure the correct driver is selected and that any user-configurable settings (internal drive, duplex unit, etc.) are correctly set.

  • Editing AVCHD (Panasonic HDC-HS20)

    Greetings,
    I searched for similar issues and read about people having trouble with AVCHD, but I honestly don't understand how to edit and export a high quality video, when it comes to PAL.
    The video was shot as HA (about 17 Mbps VBR - 1920x1080/50i) with a Panasonic HDC-HS20. And I'm using Premere Pro CS4. Windows 7, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, NVIDIA 9400 GT.
    The new project settings I chose were: AVCHD, 1080i25 (50i) Anamorphic and it says this:
    For editing AVCHD Formats recorded in 1920x1080 square pixels (non-anamorphic).
    16:9 interlaced HD video at 25 frames per second.
    48kHz audio.
    General
    Editing mode: AVCHD 1080i square pixel
    Timebase: 25.00fps
    Video Settings
    Frame size: 1920h 1080v (1.0000)
    Frame rate: 25.00 frames/second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Fields: Upper Field First
    The export settings were:
    1440 x 1080i 25 High Quality
    PAL, 1440x1080 25, Upper field, Widescreen 16:9, High Profile, 4.0
    But the video doesn't play correctly on WMP, as if there was something bad with the frames, and it looks completely distorted when I upload it to YouTube.
    I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious here, but I really don't know what to do. Any help would be more than appreciated.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    In that case, you should have posted in http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous since CS5 is quite a bit different

  • Panasonic HDC-SD9, AVCHD format & iMovie

    The HDC-SD9 Panasonic is a high definition camcorder that records in the AVCHD format. Bear with me as I try to explain in layperson terms my question. I then created several Imovie events by removing the SD card from the camera and using a memory card reader to upload. I then created a separate Imovie Project by taking footage from various Events. I tried to copy the project onto a new SD card, place the SD card back in the camera and play the recording. However, the camera indicates "no data" on the card. So, a couple of questions: 1) Is this because the HD camera cannot read the Imovie codec? 2) What format/codec does Imovie convert the AVCHD to? 3) If I burn the project to a double-layered disk in High Definition will it play on a Blu-Ray DVD or a DVD that can read a high definition disk? 4) Bottomline is that I would like to edit the AVCHD footage captured on the Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder, burn to a disk and play it on a DVD player. Is this possible?

    As you discovered, you cannot move a finished movie back to your camera for playback.
    For playback on an Apple TV, shore using the LARGE preset, and you will get a 960x540 file that looks really good on a high definition TV if it has upscaling circuitry, because this is a simple upscale to 1920x1080.
    If you want to burn a movie in full 1920x1080, there are several options.
    1) You can create it using iMovie's "Export using Quicktime" feature and watch it on your Mac. Use a 24" iMac for best results. It will use the entire screen.
    2) Same as #1 except you can watch it on a Sony Playstation 3.
    2) You can get Toast 9 with BluRay plug in and burn up 20 minutes or so of movies to a standard DVD. It might be more with a dual layer DVD but I have not tried it. Create your movie and export it using Quicktime in AIC or h.264 and the burn in Toast. Most BluRay players will read the DVD.
    3) If you have a BluRay burner, you can use Toast 9 to burn multiple movies up to theatrical length and maybe more.

  • Panasonic HDC-SD100 & FCP - Unwanted movement lines in exported footage

    Hello,
    I'm relatively new to the technical aspects of the filming world. I'm hoping someone can help me understand the flaws of my latest footage and point me in the right direction towards solution. I filmed my friend's wedding using a camcorder Panasonic HDC-SD100 (Here's the Amazon link for product description http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-HDC-SD100-Definition-Camcorder-Optical/dp/B001BF RQA0).
    Here's some footage I recently shot with the camera (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gBPxRepMSs). See how there are lines associated with movement? 1) can someone help me understand why that it happening? 2) is there a way to fix/minimize that problem? ..
    I should also mention that since I did the editing in final cut pro and the camera is not compatible with Mac, that I had to upload the original footage to my PC, convert it to Mpeg-4, and then transfer it to my Mac for editing.
    Finally, if anyone has recommendations for an HD camcorder of about the same size that is compatible with Mac, I would appreciate the info.
    Thanks,
    Jake

    The lines you are seeing are the effects of interlacing - the camera's way of combining fields into one whole frame. These are normally especially noticeable in scenes with lots of movement. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do. If you're exporting for DVD you want it to output interlaced. If you're exporting for the web or for computer viewing you can try deinterlacing upon export, or if your camera has a way of shooting progressive footage you could try that and see how it looks.
    For more information on interlacing check here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlacing
    What makes you think the camera isn't compatible with Macs? From what I can see it looks like a standard AVCHD camcorder. It should be able to ingest easily using FCE or FCP's Log and Transfer command.

  • Basic instructions for MAC for Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder?

    Could someone please give step-by-step instructions of how to upload videos and pictures from a Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder to a MAC OS X? I downloaded Quicktime 7 Pro, but I still can't figure it out. I'm pretty NON-tech savvy, as you can tell, and now have 3 memory cards to upload. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP!

    DCIM is a common folder name for digital images not videos. You should find actual photos in the DCIM folder or sub-folders of this DCIM folder, somewhere, with the usual JPG extension.
    Without going into impossible detail there will be folders for stills and folders for videos on the SD cards in this type of camera.
    You need to use iMovie , part of iLife 09 (which you buy not download). The issue with the videos is that there are data files (large video files) and there are index type files on the card.
    The index files describe the videos start and stop times and where they are. They do this because usually the video file can get only so large (say 1 or 2GB)then a new video file is started. But that video file might have two or three clips on it and even may have a clip that started in one file and ends in a new file.
    With me so far? So the indexes sort all this out. iMovie can read these indexes and import the clips by using the index to find each separate clip even if there are several on one card.
    Quicktime is the wrong program and I am not sure that it can even read the raw video files and frankly if it could I think you'd be better served with a program that manages the process for you.
    MPEG Streamclip MIGHT open the video files and it can string them together, allow basic trimming and editing and exporting to a Quicktime or iPod type format but that may be too daunting to explore. If you want to try, drag one of the big video files to the desktop and open or try to in MPEG Streamclip - if it opens then you can export to MPEG-4 and press an iTunes button and pick an ipod device and get a little stand alone movie.

  • IMovie 08 and Panasonic HDC-SD5 Camera

    Hi Folks I have a Mac (lol), i have a Panasonic High Definition Camera and i have a problem. I connect the camera, i import the clip on my macintosh hd and i create my dvd with iDVD. But when I see my dvd i see that the video is ginned, with a very low quality. Why???
    Info: Mac OS X 10.5.6 on MacBook 3.1 with 2.2 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 2 Gb of RAM and Intel GMA X3100 graphic card.
    Panasonic HDC-SD5 with 3CCD and high resolution (Full HD 1920x1080). It recorded with the AVCHD format.
    Thank you!!

    If you have a PC and the generic software that comes with the camera you can as well.
    If iMovie 08 can import high definition video can it not output it on its own as AVCHD (AVC/H.264 - MPEG4) to DVD?

  • What is the best way to transfer video from a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder on to a DVD using iDVD?

    I am trying to get my Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder to transfer video over to a DVD using iDVD.  The iDVD wants the firewire connection to be used,  No mini USB to firewire line exists.  Any help?

    iDVD is part of the iLife suite of apps.
    in this collection, iMovie is the 'importer', esp. via usb from AVCHD-devices like yours.
    plus editor, I mostly doubt, you haven't to 'clean' here&there your recordings
    from there you 'share' to iDVD.
    you'll notice a loss of quality in this process due to  cam is HDef, any videoDVD is always SDef .....

  • Panasonic HDC-SD5 & I Movie

    I bought a Panasonic HDC - SD5 which arrived yesterday so I could use the clips in I Movie. The reason I bought this camera was because it was on the Apple list of approved tested cameras. What I seemed to have overlooked was the file type and also that my Mac is a G5 without Intel, a schoolboy error.
    Does anyone know if apple are looking into developing software so the AVCHD files can be used on a mac without Intel. I was due to update to I Life 08 so that's no problem if needed, however if anyone could advise me that would be great.
    Regards
    Hezza

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    No one here knows what plans  have for imovie, but I rather suspect that if they were going to make the PPC work with imovie/AVCHD they would have done it from the outset.
    You can always use Voltaic instead of imovie to convert your AVCHD video.

  • FYI: iMovie and Panasonic HDC-SD5

    FYI,
    I just purchased the Panasonic HDC-SD5 which supports 1920x1080 or 1080P. I recorded clip with the HG1920 setting (1080P). I then imported the clip into iMovie and added it to a project. When I play the movie everything is oblong. (A circle appears as a oval.) I then recored a clip at 1080i, imported it and everything looks correct.
    It appears that iMovie does not currently support 1080P using a AVCHD camcorder.
    Does anyone know if Final Cut Express supports 1080P?

    You may find some of the information in my other thread useful... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1131966&tstart=0
    I believe the SD5 is 1080i and not 1080p. If you look at the imported file you will most likely notice it is not 1920x1080. It is now 2560x1080. If your record in one of the 1440 modes on the camera you will see the 1440x1080 is imported as 1920x1080 and therefore everything does not look stretched. I have not been able to determine if it is a bug of Apple or Panasonic.
    I assume you will see the same thing with FCE since I do see the same behavior with Final Cut Pro.
    You are correct that currently the 1080i SD5 is not supported. I would assume that it will be added to the support list soon. At least that is my hope.
    For now I have been playing with the 1920x1080 mode and editing with the stretched imports. Then I just share using Quicktime and change the size to 1920x1080. It seems to be working well. The picture quality is still very nice.
    Hope that info helps.

  • Is the Panasonic HDC SD 90 camcorder compatible with Final Cut Pro X

    Is the Panasonic HDC SD camcorder compatible with FCP X?

    Seems to me that the software on an apple system has not caught up to where it could be for this camera, unless i'm mistaken.
    Nor Adobe, nor Avid. Nor any makers of DVD players, BluRay, HD DVD. Nor broadcasters who air shows. Nor web formats.
    60p isn't a format that is mastered either. Not to tape, not broadcast over the air, not a format you encode to BluRay or regualr DVD...not a web format. So why you'd shoot a format that you can't even deliver...seems pointless. 1080 is either 23.98fps, or 29.97fps. It is 720p that is 59.94fps...but that is used rarely. But that is the only 60 frame format that has output and airable options.

  • Panasonic HDC-Z10000 Professional 3D Camcorder and AVCHD3D

    I bought Panasonic HDC-Z10000 Professional 3D Camcorder. Format of shooting of AVCHD3D. Video from the camera is imported to the 2D. How to import the 3D?

    I just bought two Canon HG10 AVCHD camcorder. I'll be using them for a few Smashing Pumpkins concerts in Philly in the next several days.
    Here's what I found out so far just playing with them for 20 minutes.
    AVCHD + iMove '08 or Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 /= PowerPC
    It's not going to work on a PowerPC Mac.
    Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 says:
    Warning:
    AVCHD media is unsupported on PowerPC based hardware.
    iMovie '08 says:
    AVCHD Device not supported
    An Intel-based Macintosh is required to capture AVCHD video; try changing your camcorder settings to standard definition.
    I didn't buy this camcorder for standard def. I did not bother trying that option.
    It worked on my Intel MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro 6.0.1. I don't have iMovie installed on there so I didn't try it.
    I recorded a clip about a minute long, 01:01:13 to be exact. I put
    the camcorder in USB mode and it mounts on my PowerPC and Intel Mac's
    without installing any software.
    Going through the file structure I find
    /Volumes/CANON_HDD/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00000.MTS
    MTS = MPEG Transport Stream
    That file is 119.6 mb.
    I can get the .MTS to play in VLC Media Player but it crashes after a few seconds.
    Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 has no idea what to do with .MTS files. When dragging to the bin I get File error: unknown type. You have to go to File > Log And Transfer. Not File > Log And Capture like you
    normally would to capture a tape.
    From there it transcodes the .MTS file using the Apple ProRes 422 codec. This takes time and makes your nice little 119.6mb file about EIGHT times as big. The file is 929.3 mb! One gigabyte for one minute! It's 24p and 1080 x 1920 though.

    I have not bought the camera yet so I cannot try. I have heard that the footage is not suppose to be supported that easily since it is 28 MBS "Avchd?" format. However people seem to be able to edit it in Imovie....
