Optura 50 camcorder

I download videos from tapes on computer.  Colors appear too bright when I play on the computer or DVD from the LCD screen of the unit.  Is a capture, computer or HDTV questioned?  The quality is good, it's just that the color screen camera seem to be very bright.  I use an external drive (stick) or burn the video to DVD.  The TV is a new 55 HDTV.  The computer is about 6 years old, but has a monitor of 17 inches, which is very strong.

Hi, Jules!

We are sorry to hear that you do not get the desired on your Optura 50 color.  The main reason that your pictures look not super sharp or sharp is because you look at House of SD footage on a big TV 55 inch HD.  The Optura 50 is not a HD camcorder. It records only SD, or 640 x 480.  ERGO, the video is stretched to fit the screen.  Even your computer monitor has a display resolution that is much higher than what what camcorder records.

There are parameters, you can try to adjust, as the white balance. Make sure that you have the correct white balance for the scene.  In addition, you can also select an image effect in the Menu called Vivid. Finally, you can also launch the brightness and contrast when you edit in post-production; export video to a DVD without editing will give results that can be dull in comparison.

We wish you the best of luck!

  • Camcorder Optura 20

    I have a camcorder Optura 20 that I use as a unit of the finish line for bike races. It is connected to a macbook via firewire in the iMovie program. Some settings on the camcorder must have changed to cause these strange images appear. By weird, I hear things like the other scenes or balloons floating around. Could someone tell me what can be changed to eliminate this?

    Hi Uscfof,

    From your description, it seems that you have probably enabled the Demo"mode".

    The setting of it's in the MENU under 'display Set Up '.  Go in 'Demo Mode', change this setting to "Off", then exit the menu.

  • Import of VCR via camcorder: so close!

    Hello knowledgeable helpful people!

    I have many VHS tapes personal I'll scan.  I think I have everything I need, so I don't want to buy the Elgato stuff and still less a dedicated combo VCR/DVD-R.  I just need help for iMovie to capture the incoming signal.

    -VCR to camcorder Canon Optura 60 via red/white/yellow RCA A / V capable (according to the instructions of Canon).

    Canon has specially designed the camcorder for passthrough A/D converter.

    Camcorder/a. passthrough mode

    -Camcorder to rMBP via a cable Firewire (native on camcorder end, FW400 Apple adapter of lightning on the end of the computer)

    Everything works fine right up until I can't capture.  I launched iMovie (current version), and just correct camcorder news show top-left as a source! Excellent.  I started a new project, click on the import media button arrow down and Push Play in the VCR.  I saw the perfect video hearing audio perfect both the camcorder and the computer.  I clicked on the import button at the bottom right and waited a minute for a short test run.  Then, I clicked on the button stop the import or whatever it was called.  At that time, I didn't see any new items captured.  Tried several times more; nothing.

    The only other thing, I will mention is that 'Not controllable camcorder' warning came at the top left of the window to capture.  I don't need to control the camcorder, however, so no big deal.  I clearly has a good, digital / signal V coming in the Macbook, but I can't figure out how to get iMovie to capture him.

    Any help?  Should I look at a different application?  I hesitate to spend the money on something else, like I have everything that I need.

    Much obliged, community.

    iMovie 10 requires Timecode for the import. Your camcorder generates timecode of band but no passthrough.

    Earlier versions of iMovie require no timecode for the import.

    Option 1.

    Save your VHS tapes on a DV tape on your cam' and then transfer the cam' in iMovie.

    Option 2.

    Quick Time Player allows to save and then import the data into iMovie.  QuickTime Player is on your Mac.

    How to use QuickTime Player - Apple Support

    In the options, set the Maximum recording quality.

    As you have several VHS tapes, then option 2 is probably the simplest.

  • Cannot save the entry camcorder 8 mm on iMovie 10.1.2

    I'm trying to import the old videos from the camcorder into iMovie.

    Videos are played on TR33 Sony video 8 mm Handycam (analog) through a Sony TRV 22 Hi portable (digital) 8. This provides the necessary a/d conversion.

    See the video and audio correctly in the window of the events at the time of import. However when I stop importing nothing is saved.

    As a side note, if I import the single (digital) trv22 video, it seems to work as it breaks the clamps in individual events based on time.

    The literature seems to say a widow pop up asking where to store the video should appear when importing. However I don't see that.

    Have iMac with El Capitan 10.11.6

    iMovie 10.1.2

    This problem appeared in the discussions here and in FCPX. The cause of the lack of registration is due to the lack of timecode that iMovie requires. In switch mode there is no timecode of the TRV 22. The solution is to record the video to Handicap the TRV 22 and then import in iMovie.

  • I run a Mac Pro with El Capitan and iMovie 11 will not recognize my camcorder Sony FDR-AX35P 4 K

    I run a Mac Pro with El Capitan. iMovie 11 will not recognize my camcorder Sony FDR-AX45P 4 K. He keeps asking connect a camera.

    iMovie 11 (version 9) supported cameras include not all models Sony FDR.  iMovie 10 supports a number of FDR-AXxx models however does not list your a see particular: iMovie support cameras - Apple Support

    There are a number of problems of running iMovie 11 under El Capitan, particularly with still pictures appears.  (It does not supports video 4K).  I recommend try iMovie 10.1.2 which you should be able to get in for free or may already have in your applications folder.  Although your camera model in particular is still not listed, I would expect it would probably work, and failing that you should be able to read files directly from the SD card if you put in an SD card reader.

    While moving recently, I came across my old digital camcorder Sony TRV620E and strips. I thought it would be a good opportunity to transfer the contents of the tape on my Mac I-... It is not as simple as it may seem however. The Mac I will not recognize the camera, which I have connected via an out DV link and a usb connection.

    I also downloaded software HomeMemories of Sony, which seems to be as good as a chocolate teapot. In any case, I could not download the content, so I've been in conversation with Sony about it. Bit of a waste of time really, after about 3 months of back and forth emails they say that:

    1. 1. digital Camcorder (DCR-TRV620E) is not compatible with OS El Capitan.
    1. 2 PlayMemories House 3.1.00 or later version is compatible with OS El Capitan.

    However, performance is not guaranteed for all computers.

    As a result, please try another PC with a different OS.

    I don't have access to another PC, only I have a Macbook Pro with exactly the same software as my Mac. They run El Kapitan 10.11.5 and I - Movie10.1.2, HomeMemories 3.1.00.12180 and I also have an old copy of the Toast Titanium 11.

    Is it likely that say a DV FireWire or link Thunderbolt will make a difference?  The latest version of the film I is also not compatible with the camera, according to Apple.

    This camera needs a Firewire cable.

  • Import analog Video8 through Firewire and Digital8 camcorder problem

    Hello!

    I've got a few Video8 tapes from a Sanyo camcorder that's dying, so I bought an old camcorder Sony DCR-TRV480E to eBay which allows to capture Digital8, but also reading and listening to the Video8 and Hi8.

    I finally got the camcorder and tried to play back Video8, immediately, it changes the function of reading and my old videos with audio built-in to confirm and DNR view (s). All good so far.

    Then when I plug in my MBP 2011 (Yosemite) via the FireWire 800 port, then choose Import my camera (not supported) appears and plays video and audio beautifully when you click on "import". Only problem is - it doesn't matter! "He said," any device "in the upper right corner, even if it is the video with the audio in the window of import with no problems.

    The same thing happens in iMovie.

    Anyone who has seen the same problem? I want my DV imported into FCPX without loss of quality, so I can have finally digitized them and get rid of those old tapes.

    I appreciate any help on this matter.

    FCP X requires timecode.

    Most of the cameras Hi - 8mm and 8mm had no time, writing code on the tape.

    Try Quicktime x to capture your video footage.

    If you have QuickTime 7 Pro, it would be even better option than QT X for the capture.

  • How to update the codec on laptop computer 2 open my files downloaded from the camcorder

    I recently bought a Sony HDR-TG7VE camcorder and have downloaded the software for it on my laptop, but I am not able to open the files after uploading video clips on my laptop.

    I contacted Sony and they said there is a problem with my laptop and I need to contact Toshiba to update the Codec.

    The message I get is "Windows cannot open this file. To open this file, windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to search automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs installed on your computer.
    What do you do - use the web service to find the appropriate program
    -Select a program from a list of installed programs.

    I use windows vista business 32-bit operating system.

    The camcorder is an HD camcorder.

    It's really irresponsible response this manufacturer, cam.
    They offer products and they need to take care of you with that. It is logical that the recorded files should be open on every desktop or laptop PCs.
    According to their logic everyone who ACE this cam and who want to watch movies on PC should contact PC manufacturers support. It's really crazy.

    I don't know anything about this cam but normally you should have a few dist software with software that can help you to watch the movies or perhaps to convert files in other format and watch movies with standard players like Windows media player or VLC player.
