After changing to High Sierra, and getting Final Cut 10 4 2 , I can't import any videos from my Sony HDR PJ 810. It reads the videos, but can't import them. Neither does it work with Imovie. Any ideas?
Mac Pro
I create a event on Final Cut and try to import videos from the camera, as usual. The videos appear, but then I get a message of error - the import failed. Every single time, for different videos, the same thing. It started after I upgraded to High Sierra.
Thanks for your interest :-)
Not very informative message is it. Let’s broaden it. You’re importing directly from the camera? Try a different cable? Where is the library stored? External drive? How is everything connected and formatted?
This is FCP 10.4.2 with macOS 10.13.5?
Also are you optimizing and/or making proxies?
Import direct from camera. Final Cut reads the videos (they appear on Final Cut, though not imported), so the cable does not seem to be the issue (and I imported videos with the same cable just before getting High Sierra). The library is on the computer's hd. I optimize the videos. And it is Final Cut 10.4.2 with OS 10.13.4. I didn't know there was a .5, will get it and see if there is an improvement...
Problem solved - I reinstalled High Sierra, taking the newest version (.5) and now all works well. Thanks for your help!
What exactly are you doing and what happens when you do it?
