Hello!

 

I have been using my Sony a6000 for the last 5 months and love it for video and photography.  

 

My fiancee recently borrowed my sony to do some filming for her business.  She used it on day 1 and shot video in AVCH format on a Lexar Professional SD card. Then the next day she took the same card and used it to shoot video with her Canon 70D. 

 

When she came back home from her trip she tried to access the videos to download.  The Canon Video Files have been downloaded without a problem but the AVCHD files cannot be accessed.  When I try to open them I get the following error message. 

 

"the operation could not be completed"( see image attached)

 

I have tried to recover the files using the Lexar file recovery but it ends up recovering video files that are blank.  

 

When I click on the AVCHD file and click "show Package contents" it shows file BDMV which still does not open.  If I "show package contents" it then takes shows me a few folders and 2 files which again do not open.  (see the attached image)

 

I have tried to convert the file to an MP4 using Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate but it will not recognize the AVCHD file for import.  

 

Any suggestions on how I can access these videos or are they corrupt and lost?

Have you tried PlayMemories, the free software Sony provides for file download? It is clunky software I don't like but use it due to video files, otherwise I would simply do copy/paste to a destination folder, but Windows won't even see the file. It apparently puts the AVCH in an mp4 wrapper so other programs will see it. My workflow is to import to a single destination foolder "1-Sony" (include the #1 so stays at top) then copy to destination folder (i.e. name of event) then launch Lightroom or other software, importing as necessary.

 

HINT: on PlayMemories, when installed hit the "add folders" and DESELECT the default "all", and choose just one folder. Otherwise, it will spend hours with useless catalogong of every photo on your hard drive and bind up if there is a geo sync issue.

    • I'd use Focus Area: (Expand) Flexible Spot: S instead of Center. Smaller focus area and more control over where to focus. https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/1710/v1/en/contents/TP0001653124.html
    • New Sony user here, trying to get my head around all of the differences from Fuji 😬  I’ve figured out most of the settings, but can’t find any answers on how to do a custom white balance for studio flash. The custom setting option only seems to be based on measuring ambient light. The only workaround I can think of is to set an approximate kelvin value and then shoot a grey card and fix it in post, but I’d much prefer to get it right in camera.    camera is an A7CR TIA Vinnie 
    • I am not sure what effect you are trying to achieve regarding the bluish cast of the water.  Do you want to neutralize it or enhance it?  It would be best if you Google polarizer filter for camera and look at the images and videos and see if you can find the desired effect that seem to mirror your situation.  If you can't find the effect you are looking for, it may not be possible to do so with the Polarizer.  I use the polarizer to minimize the shimmering reflections in the water that would look distracting in the image. Neutral density filters are used to reduce the amount of light coming into the camera.  If you want to shoot a small waterfall and you want to create an angel veil effect by reducing the shutter speed to seconds but the light conditions won't allow you to do so, you can use neutral density filters to shoot at very slow shutter speeds. Neutral density and polarizing filters can get very expensive.  If your lenses share a common filter size, that would be great.  If not, get the filters for the largest filter diameter lens and get a set of stepping rings to use with your smaller filter diameter lenses.
