Sony HC3 HDV and VS 11?

Post by somegeek »

Curious if folks out there that have used an HC3 with VS10's quirkyness have noticed an improvement with the VS11 upgrade? Is the VS11 more HDV friendly than VS10?

Looking for user input vs their product documentation.

VS11+ trial version works with my HC3. Capture is smooth compared to VS11+ and VS11+ has more exporting selections. But all computers running windows have different configurations, I would recommend to try the trial version first before purchasing it.

Will a VS11+ installation be a completely independent installation from my current VS10+ installation? (won't break anything with VS10+ when I install/uninstall the VS11+ trial version)

I totally uninstalled my v8.o before installing 11+ and all it asked for was my v8.0 serial number which tells me it does not use any files from previous versions.

Thanks for the reply, but I shoulda clarified - will the installation/removal of the trial version of VS11+ mess with my current VS10+ full version installation?

Technically Yes, they use shared common files. I would leave VS10+ installed along with VS11+. I'm not aware of any conflicts between the 2 programs. The importing of dvd's may/may not be affected in VS10+. If affected it's not hard to fix. I don't recall seeing any posts of a VS11+ installation affecting VS10+.

How did you setup the HC3 camcorder?

Hi

I tried to connect HC3 to VS11 but failed. When I clicked the "Capture" button in the movie wizard, it popped the error message: Capture Module Initialization failed. I did not see HC3 in the Imaging Devices of Device Manager. Could you please tell me how did setup your HC3? Thanks

I didn't try the Movie Wizard, I went to the standard VS11+ editing interface & then into the capturing module. The first time took about 30 seconds to find the cam. Sessions after that the cam was recognized faster.
You didn't mention your operating system.
You should be able to see your camcorder under device manager, I think it's listed as a AV/C device.

Any of you fellas with working HC3 and VS 11+ capture please paste the contents of your Hercap.ini file at

Trying to work out why some systems with VS 11+ can't capture HC3 video

thanks
