Sony HDR-HC7 Compatibility?
Greetings,
I just purchased a new Sony HDR-HC7 High Def camcorder. Final Cut Express HD 3.5.1 cannot seem to recognize the camera. I can't capture any video in FinalCut Express.
It seems to work fine in iMovie. Just FinalCut Express is refusing to connect to this camera. I called Apple Tech Support. They told me "This camera is not supported." They told me to try iMovie instead. (So why did I pay $299. for this software again?)
Anybody know of a driver or trick that will allow Final Cut to import video from this camera?
I guess I am stuck using iMovie for capture. What is the best codec to use for HDV in iMovie to import into FinalCut Express?
By the way... This camera shoots awesome quality for the money. I suspect it will become one of Sony't most popular models.
