Q: I get error message when I attempt to import from my Sony DCR SR47
There was no software with the camera for use with a Mac. I know I'm supposed to be able to import into iMovie however that's also meant to downgrade the quality of the film. So, I thought I'd import into FCex but the error message seems to suggest that the file type, .MPG, is unacceptable. As well, I know I've imported a film previously, but I can't remember how I did it.
I need to be able to import and then edit, add a name card at the beginning, boost the volume, etc.
Can anyone help me find the best way to import and then create an edited .MOV file, please? I must learn to do this, in order to self tape auditions, which is now the common trend in the business.
Thank you in advance!
camera: Sony DCR SR47 2009
