Re: FS 700 is splitting my clips

Still having problems with that install - FS700R plugged in, operating and I can see the card as the normal windows drive.

Installer says it can't find a compatible device.

Windows 8.1 though. Wonder if it's either Windows version not supported or camera version? Ran it as admin and also compatibility mode for Win 7.

I've not connected the camera to a PC before as never needed to - it's just using a standard MS USB driver "Sony Camcorder USB Device". Is that what you have on your systems or is there a specific Sony USB driver?

Thanks.

Re: FS 700 is splitting my clips

Ah, solved it - that link was for an older version (1.1). I found a version 2.1 on the Sony Asia site here:

Content Management Utility Ver.2.1 : Download : Sony Asia Pacific

It can now see my camera and attached card reader :)

Why is it always so difficult to find Sony software - they're not very good at that - there always seem to be different versions in different territories. I've had that with XDCAM software in the past.

Re: FS 700 is splitting my clips

Are you guys on Mac or PC - and what edit s/w?

Just tried CMU to import clips to HDD and still Premiere Pro CC doesn't read the timecode - all clips have zero starting TC. I'm presuming this is an Adobe issue, not reading the different structure that Content Browser and CMU create on an import which is a flat folder structure.

Re: FS 700 is splitting my clips

Sorry about the link to the outdated version. I'm running 2.1 here so I should have rumbled to that.

Just remembered CMU also has Flash Band Correction which works reasonably well. Saving some shots that may be unusable otherwise.

Re: FS 700 is splitting my clips

Hi Chris

I saw that on the utility but never used it. Does it correct the banding while exporting the clip? Often I will get flash banding especially during wedding cake cutting where there is a million guests all trying to get the bride and groom cutting their cake so there is at least one flash band visible.

Does it just scan the entire clip or do you have to find the banding and tell the software to correct it?

No Problem :)

Unfortunately I still can't use CMU as Premiere doesn't read the timecode of the imported clips :(

Back to manual copying of the structure - no great problem though.

Where can I find a free version of the Content Management Utility, Chris? For Mac, the only ones I've found so far are not free. Which I find disgusting, by the way. I use Clipwrap instead now.
