New HD Camera
Hi,
I have a Panasonic HC-X900 video camera which comes with an HD Writer AE 4.1. I captured my film onto the HD Writer, thinking I could then transfer it to my own editing system, ie. Pinaccle Studio 14 but cannot find out how. I then tried to capture it straight to Pinnacle directly but that doesn't work either. Could the HD Writer be blocking my own editing system? I know the HD Writer has its own editing system but I like to use what I am used to!
I am very puzzled

Re: New HD Camera
I'm not a computer expert, but I foresee me having this problem later when I start to use my Panasonic with HD Writer and Pinnacle 14. I came across this, which may be helpful..

It refers mainly to importing to Premiere by first saving to mpeg2. If one can do this with Premiere, then Studio 14 should be possible as it will Import mpeg2 also.
Perhaps one of the buffs would like to comment?

HD writer is used to transfer the files on your camcorder into the PC and whilst doing so it converts it to an MPEG2 file you can see this easily as the files on the camcorder will have an MTS extension whereas the captured and converted files have an M2TS extension
Alternatively remove the card and place it in a card reader, on the PC create a folder with a name you will recognise (I use something like "20121031 woods" where the numbers are the year month day and the text is the subject matter) and then into this folder copy all the contents of the card including the folder structure
In your editing programme you can then import the video files from the STREAM folder which is located deep within your equivalent of my "20121031 woods" folder

Something of a handful but this is a video demo of how to import file based sources into Pinnacle Studio 14

Re: New HD Camera
Thank you ned c! I've been using Studio 14 for some time by trial and error because the Manual, although bulky, is NOT very well written (It doesn't tell you how to do things.. only what you can do!
These Videos are excellent; I've picked up several tips already.
Now (tongue in cheek) can any of you computer whizz-kids can tell me how I can download those Videos and put them on Disc?

Re: New HD Camera
I have now found out how to get my film onto my editing programme (Pinnacle Studio 14) but find it very slow. Is there a better faster editing programme for HD that anyone has found.
Thanks
Thanks
Re: New HD Camera
Hi Anne; this could be your computer rather than the program. What are the specs of your computer? CPU speed; amount of memory (RAM).

Re: New HD Camera
You may like to download the trial version of Edius 6.5 and give that a go.
If you find it OK then the Ediu Neo 3.5 would probably be fine for your editing, unfortunately Neo does not have a trial version available but in practice the differences between Neo and the full version is minimal.
Edius Express is also available and is very cheap but I have not tried it myself.
I have Edius Neo 2.5 on my 2GHz two core Sony laptop and that edits native AVCHD footage without a problem.
With Edius there is a free utility available that converts the AVCHD footage into a Canopus HQ AVI file which most PC's can edit far easier than AVCHD files.
Sign up for the Grass Valley (makers of Edius) University site and there you will find plenty of video tutorials on how to use their editing software
