Panasonic Camera Cord
Some can connect the camcorder to Final Cut Express for Mac?
I have a computer of a tiger. I just bought a new Panasonic camcorder hard disk. Is the model of SDR-H40P. I'm pretty sure it has firewire and only has a USB connector. Final Cut Express is compatible with USB cables? Final Cut Express supports hard drives with Video Camera. Is there such thing as a USB to Firewire? Thanks for responding!
You will not import the video directly from the video camera in FinalCut. Connect the camcorder to Mac with USB port. The video camera should be on "Play" or "VCR". The hard drive should mount like any other external hard drive. Copy the video to one of the Mac's hard drives. Since you have not told us which version of Mac or FinalCut can try to launch FinalCut and drag a video file in the records of catch area. If imports and fresh. If not, you need to convert the video file with Streamclip. Go to apple.com downloads area and the search for Streamclip … Download and install. Released Streamclip and convert the file to something FinalCut (or iMovie) loves … . mov,. mp4,. DV are the usual suspects … Once converted, launch FinalCut and dragging a video file in the records of catch area. While in the site Apple, go to the debate: FinalCut Area and put in the model number of your camcorder and see what others have to say … To answer the questions you directly: Is the model SDR-H40P. I'm pretty sure it has FireWire and only has a USB connector. camcorder using only USB for file transfer. Final Cut Express supports with USB cables? From FinalCut hard no matter the media or flash memory video camera data files directly, this question is irrelevant. Final Cut Express supports hard disks with video camera. Yes Is there such thing as a USB to Firewire? Yes, there is no such thing, but not work so you want to do and do not need one. Firewire is used to transfer / Import video from a miniDV tape based camcorders – and some of JVC hard drive with a port DV.
Make Your Technology Work For You, Not Against You
Technology is a beautiful thing. Use it wisely! Here are a few tips to getting your technology to work for your optimum success.
Get a backup, get a backup, get a backup. Need I say more? If you put out a lot of content set it up back up every day, if not once a week should be fine. And don’t rely on your memory to do it either… look for a zip drive that has software that automatically does it for you. I like the IOmega drives (their 80 gig drive is perfect for most systems and at $99.95 is affordable) You can find it here
Label your peripherals wires. Sure, you know what it’s for now, but after a while your digital recorder wire, Digital Camera wire, webcam wire and all of those other ones start to look an awful lot alike.
Get a nice big Ziploc bag and stuff it full of all your software, then put it in a safe place. You know that disk that came with your computer when you bought it and you’ve never used? Well, wait til the day you can’t download something from your digital recorder without it (this has happened to me!). All of a sudden it is your lifeline.
Keep an extra AC adapter for your laptop. When my wire frayed and I contacted my computer’s manufacturer, they advised me that they don’t carry them for the “old” models. How old? Just over 18 months.
Keep a folder with all your manuals and call it “Electronics Manuals.” If you’re figuring you won’t need that manual you won’t… until you have an important presentation in 3 hours and your printer is spitting magenta ink at you. Keep it. You’ll read it some day and chances are when you need it you’ll need it in a hurry. Make it easy to find.
Your phone will be your best friend. If your business is running like you want it to, you’ll be on the phone many hours of the day. Splurge for one that sounds great and has a good battery life. A headset can save you lots of neck pain. You can’t go wrong with almost anything from Plantronics. I like my Plantronics MX500 with my Panasonic cordless phones. The Plantronics stays with me and there are 3 Panasonics (I use a Panasonic Triple Talk) so it is virtually impossible to be without at least 1 charged phone. Find the headset here.
Invest in a good digital recorder. They are versatile and easy to use. You can use them to capture ideas as they come to you (why is it that all good ideas come when you’re doing 60 mph on the highway?), record an important conversation, create product by interviewing experts or being interviewed (for phone recordings, you’ll need a $10 doo-dad from RadioShack that lets you plug the recorder to your phone. For this you need at least 1 corded phone) or create a recording every time you speak in public (the big gurus make gazillions with this one use of the digital recorder alone). Not bad for a gadget that runs you less than $200. Olympus, the industry leader, has several new models that not only act as a digital recorder but as an mp3 player as well. Check out the WS-310M here.
Keep your computer “clean.” I set up a monthly recurring appointment to clean out any programs I don’t use that might be taking up memory unnecessarily, plus to archive or delete old documents I no longer regularly use. Keeping your computer “lean” makes it go faster and makes finding things easier… saving you days, weeks or even months of your life that you would otherwise spend slogging through tons of information you don’t need.
Create a Parking Lot. Do you get a lot of ideas? Do they end up on scraps of paper or strangely named documents you later can’t understand at all (if you can find them?) Your ideas are valuable and if you’re managing your time wisely, you know you can’t work on them all know. Create a “Parking Lot” file and keep 2 sub-files in it: “Ideas” and “To Complete,” (fragments of articles, programs, etc.). In a third “Inspiration” folder you can also keep articles, blog entries and e-mails that give you an idea for something you could be doing. Technology can be tremendously useful in keeping you productive and on track.
Be diligent about keeping your contacts in order. Set up a time each day, or at the least, each week to input the scraps of paper you collect into your information database. Phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses, business cards, etc., should be all in one place where you can search them electronically. I use Outlook and find it just fine for my purposes. Some people prefer ACT! Software. Find it here: http://www.act.com/
And finally… step away from the computer, the phone and the recorder and go get some fresh air! Technology is a beautiful thing but it is just a tool that doesn’t replace real, personal communication and freedom. Let it work for you and it can create magic.
