Using GPS with Sony HDR-XR520

I have a new Sony HD camcorder that takes nice still photos as well. It has GPS and the GPS shows as "enabled" on the device; however when I download photos into iPhoto '09 8.0.3 and click on the "i" icon on each photo, no location information displays. I thought it was that simple. Is there something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, it's very similar. It does not match up field-by-field, but it is very similar. I've got unusual data in the Altitude field...

PE7 and Sony HDR-XR520 help

I apologize up front if this issue has already been discussed but I cannot seem to find a solution. I have a little very amatuer editing experience with a different program and different camera, but am very green when it comes to editing and knowing what to do or options available. As noted, this is what I have:
Premiere Elements 7
Sony HDR-XR520
Issue: When I attempt to add movie clips to the sceneline they group together and I cannot ungroup them. Also, when I play back the clip on the computer in PE7, the audio sounds fine but the video is choppy. The closest explanation I can find is that this has something to do with the surround sound or that the video was shot with the 5.1 audio. The camera has the 2ch audio option but we did not realize this would be a problem until we went to edit.
So, I guess my main question is, can video shot with this camera be edited using a computer software like PE7 and avoiding the above problems? If so,which software and how? If it has to do with the fact that this footage is shot in 5.1, is there a way to output it in 2ch though it was shot in 5.1? Can I record the footage from the camera to DVD using the computer? Do I need a different program? I am not sure what else to ask or info to give; I am stuck at this point. Maybe someone has some suggestions..
Thanks in advance

Your camcorder is an AVCHD camcorder. You add the video to your project by using Premiere Elements Get Media, from AVCHD
and downloading it over a USB connection to your computer.
It's very important that you make sure that your project us using the correct project settings for your camcorder! These settings can only be made when you first open your project. If you are shooting in 5.1 audio, you must select the AVCHD preset for 5.1 audio or you'll get the strange behavior you're describing.
According to the specs I've found, your cam shoots in 1920x1080. Make sure you choose this preset and not the 1440x1080 preset.
I've created a free 8-part tutorial series for videomaker support site Muvipix.com called Basic Training for Premiere Elements. It's a great introduction to the program for a newby. Part 1 should be particularly interesting to you, since it describes how to select the right project preset for your camcorder.
While you're there, check out the extremely knowledgeable and helpful Community forum as well as the over 1000 tips, tutorials, motion backgrounds, DVD menu templates and licensed music clips -- many of which are free and even more of which are available for a small annual subscription.

How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?

How to import and edit a 3D video made with Sony HDR-TD10E camcorder, with .MVC file?
I have PremierePro-CS5 installed.
This stereo 3D camcorder (Sony HDR-TD10E), output an .MVC (MultiViewCoding) file, coded in H.264 format.
This format is already compatible with Bluray3D stereoscopic format.
1) But, how to edit the .MVC in Premiere?
2) What plugin should I use (if exists) for PremiereProCS5?
3) Cineform Neo3D, can manage the .MVC format? Can convert it to Cineform format file, for import it into Premiere?
4) What software should I use to convert an .MVC video to an AVCHD H.264 file, and import it into PremierePro CS5 or CS5.5 for editing?
Thanks!
Horsepower0171.

Sorry, I am Italian, it is very difficult for me to understand what he says!
I can just read the english text, or follow the actions of a videotutorial!
Thus my question is the same:
-What software can do that?
-Sony Vegas 10 do the Bluray3D authoring?
-For MVC editing, should I wait for Adobe CS6? Or is it planned an update for CS5.5?

I filmed with Sony HDR-XR500V using HD HQ - which sequence preset is best?

I filmed on a Sony HDR-XR500V camera using the HD HQ camera setting. According to the manual, this means it's: AVCHD 9Mbps (1440x1080x60i).
I'm editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.
Which sequence preset should I use?
AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic
or: AVCHD 1080i30 (60i)
I'm a bit confused, because AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic says "for editing AVCHD Formats recorded in anamorphic 1920x1080 (ex.1440x1080)."
What does "anamorphic 1920x1080 (ex.1440x1080)" mean? What does "ex." stand for? For example? Except?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Your manual tells you you have shot your film in 1440x1080 which means it has rectangular pixels which in other words it is anamorphic.
If you made these rectangular pixels into square pixels you get 1920x1080.
Full HD is 1920x1080 with square pixels. It all has to do with aspect ratio. It can be a bit confusing.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS03BF7479-8C7B-4522-8C75-210AD102524Ea.html
If you were to do it correctly your preset should be AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) Anamorphic.
Hope this all makes sense.

INFO - Problems using L&T with Sony HDR-SR series cameras

In a situation where Log & Transfer worked previously but no longer does; this may be a result of using Finder to delete clips on the camera, rather than by deleting the clips using the camera's own file management tools. Deleting clips in Finder tends to mess up the folder structure on the camera.
Unfortunately, the only solution may be to save all your media files to your Mac and then clear out the camera's hard drive. The next recording on the camera should become visible in L&T.
Frank

Andy,
I have seen quite a few posts recently wondering why L&T would suddenly stop recognising Sony HDR-SR series cameras. As an SR12 owner myself I was curious as to the cause of the problem as I've never had an issue with L&T. So I've been looking out for relevant info on the forums.
Deleting files from outside the camera seems to mess up the directory structure needed by L&T and so is a very likely culprit.
However I haven't deliberately messed up my own camera to test the theory.

Advantages of FCE HD over iMovie HD (with Sony HDR HC3)?

Hi!
I'm new to the digital Video world. Sadly I'm always a bit crazy and thought to buy a camera which will be a bit more future proof and decided to go for a Sony HDR HC3. I was using iMovie 6 HD with it and can import movies fine (ok not full speed on my 2Ghz iMac G5 but I can live with that), I can cut them but I can't realy render them as normal movies out of iMovie. Actually I can't do anything with them it always turns out to be a very bad jerky output format. So reading the iMovie forum, it seems thats normal behavior. People say it needs to be sent back on camera tape and get it converted by the camera to DV and then use it. Actually importing DV and then writing a DVD or encoding it to an other fileformat really works well.
So my question is, can FCE HD handle HDV better? Like export it to normal DVD? Meaning like rendering the 1440 x 1080 interlaced to the DVD non interlaced resolution?
iMovie shows me the Project is 1080i-25 (yes I'm using PAL). So I asume it merges the two half pictures to one 1080 and that results in 25 frames/sec...
Any experiance with FCE and Sony HC3 here? Roughly 300 Euros/$300 is a bit too much to buy it and it turns out to be not much of a difference then iMovie (for exporting and handling HDV).
Thanks for your help and feedback!
Holger

Hi!
The reason why I ask is some weired behavior I have with IMovie 6 HD/Quicktime 7 on the latest Tiger release:
I can import HDV from my Sony HC3 perfectly, and also export every unedited material to the camera perfectly. But when the HD material needs to recoded for use on DVD or as quicktime movie or just when you add titles effects etc. Output is getting very jerky.
To test I did the following. I recorded a 360 degrees turn in a room in HDV. It shows perfectly smooth on the camera screen when playbacked, smooth on TV etc. Smooth means as you see it when turning your head..
So now I import it in HDV into iMovie. If i take the unedited film and want it to export it to any other format like DVD or an MPEG4 movie, things get jerky, the 360 degrees turn doesn't look nice anymore.
I read in other forums, that thats in issue with HDV and you should let the camera convert it to DV, so the cuted material needs to be transfered back to the camera, and then let it convert it to DV.
OK, so if I import HDV converted by the camera to DV its perfectly smooth, also on DVD on quicktime movies etc.
When I import HDV in iMovie, and put a title text in the movie for like 10 secs out of the 20. iMovie will split the clip to two 10 sec ones and render the text in the first block. If I record it back as HDV on the camera tape and then reimport it with beeing converted as DV the following happens:
The first 10 secs with the title are jerky, the second 10 secs are smooth as before.
This needs to be related with the IMovie/Quicktime encoding, not with the camera (I have two of it to see if its not the hardware). So I'm really thinking It's either an iMovie problem an Quicktime problem or both together...
So if FCE would handle the rendering process different... It would be worth to get it...
Any ideas?
Holger

[Help Request] Log and Transfer with Sony HDR-SR10

Hello Everyone,
I am very new to Final Cut Express and I am trying to import the clips from my camera (Sony HDR-SR10) to Final Cut. Here are the settings that I have for FCE and the camera:
*Easy Setup*
Format: Apple Intermediate Codec
Rate: (all rates)
Use: AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i60
+settings found in this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9162394)+
*Camera Settings*
HD FH (AVC HD 16M (FH)
Then I mount the camera on the desktop. Then File > Log and Transfer. However, no clips appear in the viewer. I have tried adding a folder to the Log and Transfer window, but no clips show up. I have about 30gb of footage on my camera, so it's not like the camera is blank or something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Jon

Jonathan,
In addition to Tom's advice...
I have an SR-11 which I believe is nearly identical to your's. Do you have any SD video on your camera? If you do you may have to erase these clips. When I first started using FCE, I had to get rid of any SD footage I had before FCE would display my HD clips in the Log and Transfer window. Fortunately I only had a couple of test clips in SD, so erasing them wasn't a big deal. I don't know why this happens, but since I only shoot in HD mode I never looked into in further.
Additionally insure your playback mode is set for HD and not SD (I don't have my camera with me right now, but if I remember correctly there is a selection in one of the menus for this).
Hope this helps a bit.

Final cut Express: compatibility with Sony HDR-SR1 AVC HD new codec

Does anyboday know when Final Cut Express will be able to support the new AVCHS format used by the latests Sony HDR-SR1 AVC HD 30GB Hard-Disc camcorder? I'm hesitant to buy the camcorder until I know that apple will support this new codec. thx

This has nothing at all to do this with the file transfer protocol. These cameras use USB, because USB is cheaper. What you are confusing is USB support with tapeless recording systems. Macs support USB, and file transfers over USB. The FireWire/USB issue is not relevant to these formats, none of which are supported on Mac editing applications. Nothing to do with these cameras having USB or FireWire. Even if they had FireWire no editing application on a Mac would connect to them because the formats are not supported, not the transfer protocol. It's not the USB functionality that makes them non-editable on a Mac it's the formats themselves.
These are entirely consumer products for home movies, including the so-called pro-style cameras. They are designed for delivery of MPEG-2 formats, mostly DVD based. Record your movie on DVD, put your DVD in your set-top player and watch your home movie. I think all of them are MPEG-2 based. The only MPEG-2 based format you can edit on a Mac is HDV, which is a tape-based format, not a tapeless format. All HDV cameras support FireWire.
You might be able to convert the media off one the DVD discs using MPEG Streamclip or some other product. You might be able to transfer the data via USB off the hard drives built into the camera and use some other product to convert them to an editable format. None of that requires FireWire. Nor can the media in its current form be accessed from the DVD disc or from the hard drive by an editing application regardless of the connection.
If these cameras are ever supported for digital editing, then you don't need FireWire and can use USB for file transfer of the media to your computer in faster than real-time. But this is all based on tapeless digital formats that don't require real-time or less than real-time capture of digital data as you do from tape. These formats will most likely never be supported by professional video editing applications. There are already professional video solutions with tapeless recording and to date all of these support FireWire.
To say that Sony only supports iLink on past products is just plain wrong. All Sony's, Canon's, JVC's and Panasonic's professional product lines on all their upcoming cameras and decks that can file transfer over FireWire use FireWire and not USB. Some only use SDI. None use USB.

Sony HDR-XR520

I have a new Sony HD-XR520 video camera. The instruction book that came with it does not talk about using it with my iMac. Can someone help me find out how to get video from the camera into iMovie 9? Many thanks.

Google is your friend .... Just type in "Sony HD-XR520 and iMovie'09" and hopefully you'll have access to the following links as well (and several others).
Btw, you may also want to post this in the iMovie'09 forum (as opposed to iDvd) simply to confirm the proper procedure for importing into iM'09.

Date and time stamp with Sony HDR CX7

Hi,
I am trying to figure our how to find date and time stamps for individual clips.
My workflow is as follows: I use disk utility to make a disk image (.dmg) of the memory stick and import the clips from this disk image. Everything works fine, but I am not able to find any date and time information on the imported clips.
I am slowly building a large archive of these disk images and I am wondering whether I need to add some some date an time info manually. I know that this information is recorded on the memory stick as the camera can display them.

Config:

I'd also like to ask if it's really necessary that the statuses within the status profile and date profile should maintained in the same positions.

How to use GPS with n73?

hihi, just bought n73 couple days ago, i am new to this cellphone thing. can any1 tell me how can i have gps with my n73. like procedures, accessories and softwares i need to get it to work. is there a step by step guide.

I dont think it needs A-GPS with an external GPS receiver because it gets a lock so easily. I started mine from cold this morning (ie from off not standby) and had a lock in about 20sec. From standby I usually get a lock in 10-15 sec.
I was just about to buy an N95 when the new ones were announced so I'm holding off but I always thought I would more often than not use the LD-3W with the N95 while driving anyway. I think you can do that. No loss because I'll give the N80 to the boss (wife) anyway.

AVCHD Log and Transfer - with Sony HDR-SR7

I have FCE4 running on my Mac Mini. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo. The FCE4 program was installed by my son using his account. He uses it the most and it has been working fine for him until now. No new FCE4 updates have been loaded. However, all of a sudden he can no longer "log and tranfer" the AVCHD files from our Sony HDR-SR7. The error is "AVCHD media is unsupported on PowerPC based hardware". Our Mac Mini is Intel based.
If I login to my account it works fine. I deleted my sons preferences in ~/Library/Preferences/FinalCut User Settings as well as the *.plist file. Rebooted and still he gets the same error above.
Somehow the FCE4 program thinks that the computer is a PowerPC but only when run from my sons account. Any Help would be appreciated? FOMR

Is you're son's account and admin account?
