panasonic SD60 not seen by X3 for import

Post by cjb121 »

hi,
I have been using VS X3 trial on my Canon Dv cam with no problems. I have just got a new panny SD60 AVCHD and X3 will not see the camera to import any files via USB. The PC is recognising the camera.
I used the supplied HD writer to import files to my PC and then import to X3 from the PC but I don't see why i should buy a program which can't even find my camera let alone the files onboard. Any solution please ?

You have the solution. It is always recommended to use the capture software that comes with the hardware.

Just to repeat what I said to someone else a few days back - -

Do not think there is any thing special about 'importing' to VideoStudio - all VS is doing is transferring the video from your camcorder to your computer, and putting an icon in your VS library - the video is not *in* VideoStudio , it is in a folder which you can have anywhere on your HDD.

Therefore it is not important (as long as the method does not lose quality) how you transfer the video from camcorder to computer - if the option exists to simply copy from camcorder to computer by any means (such as simple drag & drop) then use it, and then simply add the video to one of your libraries in VS or even directly to the timeline as the video does not need to be *in* VS in order to edit it. If the option exists to use software supplied free with your camcorder then good - use that

It does not matter if VS cannot recognise your camcorder - VideoStudio is an editor - not an importer, what matters is can Windows see your camcorder and show it as a removable drive in Windows Explorer - if it can then just transfer the video by drag and drop or use the software supplied with your camcorder
