Sony DCR SR52 camcorder

This is a new generation HDD video camera with a USB connection - no firewire. The software supplied by Sony is Windows only, and the Quicktime file it exports to - does not work when copied across to a Mac.

Does Final Cut Express work with this sort of HDD camera?

Mac OS X (10.5.1)

#1, You haven't mentioned the model of camera, and what format it records...so how do we know? Like asking "My car is red, has steel belted radial tires, but only takes regular gasoline. Will it be able to drive on the autobahn?

#2 - this is the Final Cut PRO forum, not the Final Cut Express forum. But, just to get a leap on the answer, FCE only works with DV and HDV.

hey Shane

actually the title of the thread specifically states the camera model
and FCE works with DV, HDV *and AVCHD* (on an Intel Mac with FCE4)

still don't know the answers to the original question tho 😉
