XDCAM 422 - Sony PDW700 50mbs Camera Support... When?

I have lodged a support request to confirm when the 50mbs version of the XDCAM codec will be available natively in Premiere.
I attended the NAB in Las Vegas this year to hear first hand that the XDCAM format will be supported natively, (INCLUDING THE NEW Sony PDW700 Camera).
However it is now clear that the recent upgrade does NOT support the 50mpbs codec. I'm quite dissapointed as I have just spent $40,000.00 on a new camera, and Premiere CS3 does not support this camera as stated at the NAB conference..
I am yet to receive a reply from adobe on ETA for this update. I understand there is a 3rd party plugin made by MainConcept, but this is an additional $490.00 I did not budget for.
Does anyone know when Premiere CS3 will natively support the 50mbs codec for the PDW700?

>Firstly the camera can only shoot at 50mbits for the next 2 to 3 months until a firmware release is issued.
I just know what I read on the Sony site, and they specified a lower bit rate option for that camera.
>Also why would you want to lower the quality of the source when your hardware supports a 50mbit codec.
Because you are on the bleeding edge of technology, and sometimes you have to make due with what is available in the rest of your production pipeline. Or change your tools.
>Adobe at the recent NAB conference clearly told me that all XDCAM cameras were now fully supported including the PDW700 that is being released by Sony.
I would say that if you can shoot with the camera and get Premiere to ingest that footage, then it is supported. That a certain bit rate or a certain codec are not supported does not mean the camera isn't supported at all. Maybe Sony should get their act together and issue the firmware update sooner rather than later. I submit that their advertising of capabilities for this camera that don't currently exist is far worse than a 3rd-party software company not supporting an esoteric feature.
>I am very surprised this has not been addressed in the latest release of CS4, it is almost like they chose to leave the camera out of the specs...I am sitting in a trial version of Vegas 8.0C transcoding all my content from the 50mbit version, back to SD just so I can edit in my preferred application...This is not a way to go through life.
SD is far worse quality than 35 Mbps MPEG2. If you'd record in 35 Mbps MPEG2, you wouldn't have to go all the way down to SD. Oh wait - I almost forgot - Sony's camera won't do what they say it will do. ;) :)
Look, I understand your disappointment, but I would advise patience. XDCAM EX support wasn't included the release version of CS3, yet it arrived before the release of CS4. Don't borrow trouble. Keep in mind that your camera is brand-new, as are its capabilities. It will take the industry a while to catch up, especially if Sony is as snotty with its licensing for camera codecs as it has been for Blu-ray.

The only changes to the system that was functioning properly are Fios int service and router. All apple components are using the fios router. Can anyone Help get us up and running again? Thanks

How have you been making the physical connection from:

If WiFi, have you changed the WiFi encryption method or WiFi password? If so, each device need the new information netered into it manually to get onto your "new" WiFi Network.

Premiere CC v7.2 "generic import error" Sony xdcam 422 50mb / PDW F800

I'm receiving a "generic import error" when attempting to import Sony XDCAM footage in to Premiere Pro CC v7.2.0 (PC). The footage is in the original file structure transferred from a Sony XDCAM disc. The format is 1920x1080p, 29.97, 50mbps mpeg-2 long GOP (CBR). Shot with a Sony PDW F800 camera. It opens and plays fine with the Sony XDCAM viewer. I've tried importing the entire folder structure from PP media browser with no success. Not getting any thumbnails or previews from the files. PP will import the proxy files (mxf/mp4) but not the mpeg-2 HD media. Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Wil, got this figured out quite painlessly considering the train wreck that it was to begin with. The material consisted of 4 mxf discs all with sequentially numbered duplicate filenames from disc to disc… cameramen love to torture editors. Simply renaming the clips using the OS would not work so here’s what I did. Starting with Bridge I identified the HD material apart from the 8 audio files and 1 proxy file per clip by performing a file search using the letter (V), only the HD video material has a (V) in the filename. Next I copied only the video files to a work folder as to not alter the original disc structure, I did this for each mxf disc. Next critical step was to turn off all metadata logging in Bridge except the filename metadata, then I used the batch renaming function with 3 criteria: 1-seed each filename with the disc number, 2- retain original clip name, and 3-rename extension to mpg. I did this for each disc. Next step was to batch encode using AME. I processed each disc using the same codec as the original source material, MXF/OP1a, Sony XDCAM 50mb with smart rendering codec enabled. My system ripped through this process at amazing speed, it retained the original source clip time code and the quality appears to be unaltered from the original. The reason for turning off the metadata logging in Bridge was to strip off the mxf reference, AME would not process the files by simply renaming them using the OS. Total time to clean-up train wreck; 40 minutes.
BTW: I did not need the associated audio from these clips otherwise there would have been an extra step involved using premiere’s nesting feature as you had mentioned.
Happy Holidays.

No video when trying to capture PAL dv tape w/Sony HVR-V1U camera

Hello there,
Im attempting to Log & Capture a DV tape with "DV SP PAL" content from a Sony HVR-V1U camera using an iLink FireWire.
I have deck control, timecode, and audio but no video. Instead I see bars for video w/the ominous "preview disabled" band. When I attempt "Capture Now," I receive the follwoing message "this operation could not be completed as there is no video." For Easy Setup, Im currently in "Format: PAL; Use: DV-PAL FireWire Basic" (ive other combinations, and again best I can get is deck control but no video).
The DV PAL tape plays fine in the camera's LCD screen. Also I had no issue capturing HDV NTSC tapes using the same Sony HVR-V1U camera.
I've checked my settings and the usual obvious stuff but no luck.
If anyone has any ideas on what Im doing wrong or things I could try it would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Sam

are you sure this camera is fully pal compatible? Some cameras/decks will play back certain formats but will not output via firewire. Can you shoot PAL with this camera? If not, I'd guess you can't use it to capture PAL via firewire. Might check the camera manual.

Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek

"charging is not supported" when using the cable that came with ipod

I get an error message that "charging is not supported" when plugged in using the only cable that came with my ipod touch. My ipod will charge for 5 minutes then when I check on it, I notice this error on screen and the ipod has stopped charging. I'm using the same charging method I have always used since I owned this ipod which has been over 2 years now and this only started happening recently. I believe this started when I upgraded to 5.0.1.

- Look at both partsof the 30 pin dock connector. Log for bent. mising or corroded contacts of orther abnormalities. The cable could be bad. Try a new one.
- Try a reset. Nothings is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

When downloading from a Sony minidisc video camera, the picture is downloading but without sound. Previously, it had downloaded successfully both sound and picture. I have subsequently upgraded to Lion X (10.7.4). Is there some problem with the driver?

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
The Sony RX100 III was first supported in Lightroom 5.5.
There will be no updates for older versions.
So your choices:
Upgrade to Lightroom 5, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files from the RX100 III to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4.4

Support for safety camera locations when using off...

I've seen people manually post the file (as text) that you can put in the relevant folder on your phone's data card - but is there any ongoing support for safety camera updates when using your phone's mapping / sat nav offline (ie no data usage)?

Doesn't seem like there's any option through the PC map loader program, so the only option seems to be if anybody has posted the file - which may not always happen?
Safetyspots are not updated that often and I am sure someone on the forum would try to help you out if you asked.

Sony NEX-3 Raw Support

How is it possible that Aperture 3 does not support the raw format of the Sony NEX-3 camera? It's one of the hottest DSLR available right now do to it's compact size and has been on the market for nearly 6 months. No RAW support?
I'd rather take my camera back than have to switch to lightroom which added support 3 months ago…
Any suggestions? Anyone else have this camera? What can I do? I need a temporary work around, I MUST shoot in raw.

You could batch convert the files with Adobe Camera Raw to DNG, or maybe the software provided will convert them DNG for you. http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/
I currently have a bunch of files that I converted to DNG from NEF when I was using Lightroom, and Aperture 3 reads them just fine.
I know its a extra step, but until apple release a update to their RAW engine its a solution.

I'm trying to upload videos from my Sony HDR-CX550 camera and the files that contain the video (.cpi or .mts) are all grayed out on iMovie. I've been able to upload footage before onto Apple computers but now it doesn't seem to be working. Suggestions?

I've tried many different options including calling Apple Customer Support and talking to them for over an hour troubleshooting the issue. They couldn't do anything. I also called Sony who failed as well. Somebody please help me out. Thanks!

Hello whatif95,
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble importing video from your Sony HDR-CX550. I found an article that provides some information specific to your camera and iMovie '09:
iMovie: Importing both HD and SD content with Sony HDR series cameras
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1793
For versions previous to iMovie ’11 v9.0.1, including iMovie ’08, ’09, and ’11 (v9.0 only):
To import the AVCHD content from the camera when MPEG-2 content has also been recorded, you must first import and erase the MPEG-2 content from the camera. You should then be able to import the AVCHD content.
I hope this helps!
Best,
Sheila M.
