Hey man i got an sr7 and realized i cant export videos with the memory pro stick duo. did you use the handycam station to export your videos? I just wanna know if the handycam station is the only way to export vids. if not please let me know how you exported your clips because i dont want to buy a handycam station to access my videos on my computer.
Heya yes I got that little platform docking station that clips on the bottom of the camera. I haven’t tried an usb cable not sure if that will work. But I think you will need that docking station.
on the SONY website they say this MOVIE QUALITY HD ; FH (1920x1080i, 16Mbps) / HQ (9Mbps) / SP (7Mbps) / LP (5Mbps) , SD ; HQ (9Mbps) / SP (6Mbps) / LP (3Mbps) so just wanted to check which quality I've used and I've used the FH 1920x1080i 16Mbps. So looks like that the camera shots only 60i you can't select a different frame rate. So in Premiere Pro I've exported it as 25p clip. That's all. Nothing else.
@@girmonsproductionsthanks! the image looks very clear in your video actually. when i export out in sony vegas it's a lot more murky. maybe vegas and premiere have different interpolation methods or something idk
@@zigfridsminets1872 that’s interesting, possibly yes. I’ve done no colour correction or Sharpening edit at all. the sr12 shoots nice video. Obviously it can’t be compared to the new mirror less cameras that shoot 400mbs data but on its own it looks lovely. The only thing that is stopping me using it more is the 40mm “wide” lens. Just not wide enough. I do have a wide adapter though that you can just un clip. I will actually shoot a proper video with it at some point. I have mainly been recording my band rehearsals, with the bigger battery and closed screen it can shoot for a loooong time. I think about 200 mins or maybe even 300 mins.
@@girmonsproductionsi think the camcorder has its own charm to it with the footage compared to more modern solutions. the wide adapter is a must have for the camera imo. i've read that since this camera ir hard drive based, the loudness and the sound vibrations from say, a concert can make the camera unable to record at that time. has anything like that happened to you?
@@zigfridsminets1872 on the Sr7 when I was using it on the rehearsal either the sensor or something else didn’t like the vibrations and the footage looks very blurry. At the beginning it would be fine but after a while it would get blurry. However the sr12 must have something upgraded because I was about 8ft from the drummer and that problem has never happened to me so far.
Well I think that the SR12 is a better one if you can find it. Has a better screen and wide lens and the quality is better but still vintage like. If you go to my channel and find the videos with Sony SR7 next to them in the title you will see the videos that I shot with it.
So if you are considering one, deffo get the SR12, much better screen and the resolution is better too. Also it is slightly wider in the focal length.
thanks for the video ❤
pleasure! hope you found it useful
If u have time, can u plz shot more clips with sr7 ?? I wanna check the vibe and filter before i purchase for my short film !
Did you get the SR7? I think the SR12 is a better option

did you film in 1080i on the sr12? if so, what methods did you use to deinterlace the footage?
