What cable do I need to import video footage from my Nikon D5100 DSLR?

Currently I am just inserting my SD card into my Mac and copying over all video clips then importing those directly into FCPX.
I'd prefer to use a cable, and since these DSLR's don't use the same Firewire my Sony Handycam did (seemingly), I'm at a loss about what to use.
I am also interested in importing my footage as I record, directly into FCPX. So the cable must be capable of that as well.
Thanks

Ok I'll be sincere, video editing is not my thing, but I do own a Nikon D5000, and this one as far as I know is not able to "stream" recordings right into FCP. I maybe wrong though, and in that case, your USB cable should suit your needs.

  • What Cable do I need to Import Video from a Mini DV Camera?

    I have a canon xh a1, it calls for a IEEE1394 cable, I have the new mac desktops, I have no Idea what cable i need in order to import video?
    Any ideas?

    Or better still - this cable from monoprice.com. Only $5.52 compared to the Belkin cable at $29.95. I use these cables all the time, they are very well made and work perfectly. There's nothing magical about Belkin that makes their cable worth nearly 6x the price of the monoprice cables.

    All you need is an Ethernet cable.
    Just plug it into both machines. Don't bother with a crossover cable, just a plain old Ethernet cable will do. The Ethernet ports on the Macs are smart and will adjust appropriately.

  • Need help importing HD footage from external hard drive

    I have an external hard drive with some footage from a friend. I cannot view the footage either in QT or through importing to FCP. I have version 4.5 of FCP HD. The audio works on the clips, but the video does not. Im guessing it might be a format issue, as the footage is HD footage shot at 24P. I've tried opening a separate timeline and changing the settings there, but that didnt seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm guessing that the footage is HDV, and FCP 4.5 cannot work with HDV. That format came out over a year after FCP 4.5 was released. FCP 4.5 was dubbed FCP HD because it worked with DVCPRO HD footage natively. HDV support didn't hit FCP until 5.0.
    You have options. Because HDV came out when FCP 4.5 was in use and didn't work with it, a couple companies made solutions to import this footage. www.lumierehd.com and www.hdvxdv.com.
    BUT...that will get you the HDV footage at 29.97...60i. HDV 24p support didn't arrive until FCP 5.1.2. So you can try those solutions and see what happens, but most likely you'll have to upgrade to the latest version of FCP...6.0.2

  • What file format is needed to import images files from Lightroom or CC directory?

    I have tried accessing psd, tiff and jpeg files to import them into Adobe Shape.  All have received an error message saying that the file format isn't supported. What file format should I be using for my images in order to import them?
    Thank you!

    If your not going to do any individual layer effects or animation then TIFF's would be generally easier and faster to work with. If you are gong to do some effects and layer animation you should do that in Motion then bring the Motion project into FCP.
    My Opinion, My Two Cents, That's might be what its worth.

  • How import video files from my Nikon D5000 camera

    The .avi files import using organizer but when trying to add to a project, I get an add media error saying that "this type of media is not supported or the required codec is not installed".  How do I get these file into a project?

    The NEF module is for the Nikon Camera RAW Still Images. However, if you use Photoshop, you will probably want to download and install the latest version of Adobe Camera RAW module.
    As for the CODEC, Video files are seen first as formats, which are "wrappers," and those contain various CODEC's, which are the compress/decompress specs. inside the files. This ARTICLE goes into more detail on them. Those CODEC's might be general, such as MPEG-2, or they might be heavily tweaked, by the camera mfgr..That is why we most often recommend using the camera mfgr's specific version of each CODEC, like the MJPEG CODEC. However, there are other MJPEG CODEC's, and those work for many. There are links in that article for Lead and MainConcept.
    When you look at the Nikon utility disc, in Windows Explorer, what all do you see. As mentioned, some camera mfgrs. will issue their CODEC as a separate install (CODEC's install at the system level), or they might install along with the camera's driver, or they might install with some other software on that disc.
    Good luck,

  • Import video clip from DVD

    Can anyone help me learn what I need to import video clips from my family video DVD's? I created the DVD's from tapes through Pinnacle Studio 8 (before becoming a Mac fan).
    Thanks for any help you can give me,
    Ann

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    My personal choice would be to edit them to a compatible format such as DV, you can do this with mpegstreamclip (free) provided you have the QT mpeg2 playback component installed (think it's $30), there are other third party software solutions, no doubt others will have their favourites.

  • Can I hook my iPhone 3 up to my tv and watch movies and videos? If so what cables do I need?

    Can I hook my iPhone 3 up to my tv and watch movies and videos? If so what cables do I need?

    I've done this before. First, I had the current acct owner call in and say it's okay for me to assume liability on the line. Next, I called in and explained that the owner already called and gave permission for me to assume the line. Notes were on the account. I was transferred to the assumption of liability dept, I accepted the terms and conditions and we were good to go. The old owner will get a final bill up until the point of transfer and you will get a new bill starting at the point of transfer.
