Video Studio X6 - Direct capture

[grahamwhibley]

is it possible to capture video direct from my Sony HDR-SR12 into VS-X6, only I am beating my head against the wall here I cannot see my camera, is not shown when I am in capture only my webcam any help would handy

Don't bother with "capture" simply use Windows Explorer to copy the video from your camcorder to your system. Then you can insert the video to the timeline.

OK I will have a go, but why does the program recognize my web cam and not the camcorder

[grahamjmwhibley]

I have located the camcorder in windows explorer but how do I save the clips in windows explorer

If you can see the camcorder click on it so that you can see the files inside - then "Drag and drop" or "copy and paste" if you prefer from the camcorder to a suitable folder on your hard drive.

once they are on your hard drive you can choose from within VideoStudio to import them to a library - or simply insert them in the timeline direct for editing.

I did that copied all the clips onto my drive then imported them into the library on Video Studio, this morning I sat down to compile a video, what do I get? "file mismatch" again I think instead of upgrading to X6 I will look for another program I am fed up with VS

Can you upload a short original camcorder clip to a free web-hosting site or cloud storage from which we can download and test it?

how about Dropbox

Hi Graham

You said you copied all clips some wont be video files.
I assume your camera records AVCHD, within the folder structure is a folder called “Stream”, that folder should contain the video files, maybe Transport Stream, whatever they are the files that should import to video studio.

what I have done is to copy two clips to Dropbox, the only clips I have tried to copy to VS are video clips

you are correct the clips are AVCHD and are in the file marked STREAM when I access the camera via Windows Explorer, I only copied video clips

You have to post the links for us to be able to download them

[grahamjmwhibley]

I have tried 3 times to post a link but it hasn't worked

Hi Graham

I have sent an e-mail to your private mail address asking you to send me the link.
I can then attach to your post, hopefully that will help?
