HDV Print to Video not showing metadata

I'm running Final Cut Studio 2 and a Canon HV20 camcorder. I'm trying to consolidate footage from one tape to a new tape using "Print to Video" but the metadata such as date and time doesn't transfer. It works perfectly when I tested with DV format (consolidating 1 DV to another) but HDV only transfers video and audio with no metadata, and I'm guessing timecode too but I'm not sure. The original tape shows metadata.
I'ved tried with different settings. Captured using HDV Firewire, HDV Firewire Basic, HDV Firewire Basic NDF, AIC and print to video using HDV (1440 x 1080) 60i. They all record to tape fine but no metadata. I've even tried capturing and export to tape using iMovie with the same results (only video and audio with no metadata/timecode). What am I doing wrong?

Nope, I'm not talking about photo EXIF metadata, I'm talking about actual video. If I play DV or HDV tapes on my camcorder the date and time of the recording displays in the lower right hand corner of the LCD screen and the time even changes based upon when it was recorded. I've owned 3 DV camcorders and used friend's and they all do this.
When recording DV or HDV the date and time is registered somewhere. Even the new iMovie '08 will name the clips you import by date and time shot for DV or HDV (ex. clip-2003-02-09 13;57;34.dv).
Again, I can import any DV tape (video) now, export it to another tape, play it and the date and time of when it was recorded is retained, even if I rearrange it's order in iMovie or FCP. This is something I've done for years. I just can't accomplish it with HDV. I'm sure it can be done I just need to see what I'm doing wrong in the chain.
Please don't let my use of the word metadata confuse you that I think it's photo EXIF metadata. I used the word metadata because it just means "a set of data that describes and gives information about other data."
Thanks.

Hdv print to video not working

Hi,
I am trying to print to video an HDV sequence, at HDV quality but neither my Macbook Pro nor G5 will see my Sony HVR10P or Canon XHA1. It is true that Final Cut Supports output to HDV decks using Print to Video yes? I can see the HDV Firewire 1440 setting in the External Video menu but it is greyed out.
On both the Camera and Deck I've tried all the different settings to get an HDV input signal, but to no avail. I'm also not getting a DV signal to tape using print to video. I can get the still image of the current frame though.
From what I've read this is supposed to be possible... does anyone have any suggestions? Going a bit nuts here after a couple of days,
thanks,
sam

Finally I've cracked it. There are a host of alternative HDV firewire setting in the Audio Video Settings. I was using the Sony HDV firewire setting which it defaulted to after recognising the Sony HDR10P deck. After trying HDV Firewire Basic and NDF to Print to Video there was no warning window "incompatible device" or "this sequence is not copmpatible with HDV Print to Video". It played through with a 2 second delay. However it wasn't stable - a large glitch at the beginning of the recording and no audio came through. Then tweaked to HDV Firewire 25fps Basic and it kept coming up with "run out of memory" just after conforming. It seems it IS possible but my systems are having teething problems and I should upgrade to FCP 6 - hopefully memory issues will be resolved there.
Thanks..

HDV Print to Video Problem

One of my clients is having a problem trying the Print to Video an HDV sequence.
The workflow is to capture their HDV clips as DVCPRO HD via an Aja Kona LHe, edit in DVCPRO HD, then send the project to another facility that has an HDCAM deck for mastering to tape. However, for their first edit, they've created the pilot show, and they want to use it to get more program sponsors. Their only option is to use their Sony HMV-M25U HDV deck and an HD monitor to show the pilot to prospective sponsors.
To do that, they now have to output the pilot show to HDV. They've copied the DVCPRO HD sequence into an HDV timeline and rendered and conformed it. But when they go to Print to Video, they get this error message:
"Unable to perform print to video operation for HDV as
RT Extreme is not supported. Improved CPU Speed
and/or RAM needed to enable RT Extreme and HDV print
to video."
They have a Quad 3GHz MacPro with 4GB RAM, and the Scratch Disk is a 2-way RAID stripe using two of their four internal SATA drives striped together. The boot volume is on a separate drive.
They are using Mac OS X v10.4.8, QT 7.1.3, and FCP 5.1.4.
I don't have an HDV deck to try to duplicate their situation, so I need your help. If you've done HDV and experienced this error message, what is the solution?
They also have received these error messages:
"The sequence is not compatible w/HDV print to video."
"Incompatible settings. You may have attempted to
output a clip w/compression settings that do not match
the current output settings. Try nesting the clip in
a sequence w/the correct settings."
Both those messages would seem to indicate their setting are messed up.
They are 1,000 miles from me, so I can't see their FCP and deck settings. They swear that the sequence is an HDV 1080i60 sequence and that the deck is set to record HDV.
HELP.

OK, I have discovered the problem, and it's a doozy.
Her HDV sequence was set for 1280 X 1080, HDV 1080 Compressor, rather than 1440 X 1080. We have no clue how that happened, but it did.
Here's what I had her do last night when she was creating it: She changed the Easy Setup to HDV 1080i60, then created a new sequence. Then she went to the original DVCPRO HD sequence and did a Command-C to copy, then back to the new HDV 1080i60 sequence and Command-V to paste.
This morning, after I discovered the 1280 problem, I did the exact same steps and the new sequence was 1440 X 1080 HDV. I called her and had her do the exact same thing again, and now that new sequence is 1440 X 1080 HDV.
She is now rendering and conforming. I had her make sure ALL of the render bars were checked in Sequence > Render All, and that she chose Both audio and video. This should do it.
Now, the really tough part. I've got to re-read the thread and choose only two Helpful posts. Why can't we have as many as we need??????

Import iPhoto Flip video - not showing.

Running iMovie 09. iPhoto '11 (9.1.5). Imported video from Flip into iPhoto. Video not showing in iMovie. Is this a format issue? Is there a workaround?
Thanks

Make sure that if the Flip came with a disk or software to be installed, that you run the installer. I've got a first gen. Flip mino that requires something called a 'codec' to be installed before the video clips can playback. In my case it's a piece of software from a company called 3ivx.

HDV Print to Video, My Settings

I've seen several posts here about problems getting Print To Video to work with HDV. I just did this and the results were great. So, at the risk of being redundant, I'm going to post what I did.
Camera: Sony FX1, captured using the camera over Firewire.
Captured into FCP using Easy Setup HDV 1080i60
All the footage was nighttime fast action sports.
In the sequence I slowed almost all the footage down to 33.33%, with Frame Blending turned on.
No dissolves, all simple cuts.
No other filters, motion, overlays, graphics, etc.
Sony FX1 Menu Settings:
IN/OUT REC
VCR HDV/DV > AUTO
REC MODE > SP
COMPONENT > 1080i/48Oi
iLINK CONV > OFF
TV TYPE > 16:9
A/V TO D/V OUT > OFF

Sequence Preset: HDV - 1080i60
Capture Preset: HDV
Device Control: Sony HDV Firewire

"NOT CHECKED" Do not show External A/V ...
"NOT CHECKED" Do no show warning ...
Before you Print To Video, make sure you have the Sequence in the Timeline selected. Otherwise you might get an error message. Also, make sure the Camera has a tape and its sitting at the spot you want to print to. (FCP will control the camera)
Then I choose: MENU>FILE>PRINT TO VIDEO ...
Leader: Nothing checked here
Media: Print In to Out (which was set on the Timeline) nothing else checked
Trailer: "CHECKED" Black 5 seconds
"CHECKED" Automatically Start Recording
After you click OK, your sequence will most likely go through a Conforming process, which conforms the sequence as required for HDV. (different from a render) Then the screen will go black, and you can click OK, FCP will cue up the camera, put it in record mode and start the print. (export)
One note: I thought I had also checked MENU>VIEW>EXTERNAL VIDEO>ALL FRAMES. However, when I was done, I checked this menu again and it was set to OFF. So, to be honest I don't know if I did check it and it went back to off, or it was not in fact checked. (lots of messing around prior to getting it to work, sorry)

wish I could get it to work consistantly for my GR-HD1 from JVC. terrible that one of the first cameras on the market isn't fully supported by FCP5.
I have to fiddle around endlessly to get the camera recognised. Usually in Camera mode and then quickly switch the Cam back to VCR mode after FCP recognizes it.
The people at the Sony Store here in San Francisco are so rude and ignorant that I will die before buying a camera from them. I went in to buy 3 cameras for my company a month ago and couldn't get any service. The only one paying attention to me was the security guard who kept coming over to tell me that I couldn't touch the camera in the display. I asked the sales staff I finally got to help me a question about the HDV cameras, and he just dissappeared. Never to return. Eff them.
I will stick to JVC even if it means changing my shop over to PCs. Which has been happening a lot around me lately. Video production people fed up with Apple refusing to support equipement. PC software is fully compliant to the entire spectrum of video out there. The blessings of being an open format I guess.
But, I love my G5 and would miss it.

Print to Video - not working as expected

I'm trying to the Print to Video command to record my project on DV tape.
I'm using firewire for computer to camera connection. My MAC firewire port is configured for my camera model - SONY DRV-TRV-900.
My Sequence and Capture presets are the same: DV NTSC 48kHz. (My Capture preset summary shows that it is for DRV-TRV-900).
My Device Control preset is: Firewire NTSC.
Video Playback is: Apple Firewire NTSC (720x480).
Audio Playback is: Firewire DV.
When I select -Print to Video- my camera does go from STANDBY to REC and the timecode starts rolling. But when the image appears on my computer monitor it is not being recorded onto the DV tape.
In troubleshooting I did put my camera into VTR and then I was able to play the video from my project out to the camera LCD screen.
Appreciate any replies.

Thanks for this info. I had tried Edit to Tape before and had some degree of Device Control but the actual video was not being recorded to tape although the camera indicated it was recoding.
This is pretty much the same situation if I use Print to Video.
IN and OUT points are marked... and with both PTV and ETT I've configured to try both of the settings to record from - In to OUT- and -Entire Media-.
Note that in the FCP 5 manual it says "FCP cannot record to your camcorder when it is set to CAMERA Mode" and "Make sure your video equipment is connected to your computer, turned on and set to VCR, sometimes labeled as VTR."
So I've tried this setup on my camera and also have tried the CAMERA mode. Whether the camera is set to CAMERA mode or VTR the problem is the same...no video being recorded to the DV tape.
Is my explanation here clear?
Thanks
Jim

HDV Print to Video

Have read all threads for the last year on this, and have not been able to Print to Video. It starts fine, transfers via FW to my Sony FX-1. After about 2-4 min. it starts freezing for a split second, then jumps forward, only to freeze again every few seconds. If I have mirror on desktop on, the video on the desktop does NOT freeze, but plays normal. I have no problems capturing hdv video. Here is a list of the things I have tried.
1. Deleted FCP preferences, and rebooted.
2. Shut off energy saver and screen saver.
3. Tried both FW connections and disconnected ALL other FW (400 & 800) devices.
4. Tried different FW cables and 3 different cameras.
5. Exported the project out as a single QT HDV file and imported that to the timeline.
6. Mixdown audio. The timeline and all setting are 1440x1080 hdv & 1080i60.
7. The single QT HDV file is saved on an internal SATA drive with >200 GBs free, not with FCP, OSX
I would be willing to try any suggestions. Thanks for any help.

About the only thing left to do is a total rebuild of your startup disk I'd think... HDV isn't my favorite format... but if you HAVE To print back to tape, you've not much of a choice than to edit with it natively. Hey, if you've not done this in a while, it's time to do so in any event. I do it at least every few months with my own systems, and also at the school I teach at part time, there's about 70 FCP stations. We do it every semester and it serves us extremely well. Stable systems each with about 10 or so Users on each... no crashing, and all works as advertised.
FWIW... few need to record back to HDV for any reason... It's not a deliverable format for broadcast in most all instances, and it was intended to be a consumer format... see the original press release from Sony on this years ago... so running it in a Pro NLE like FCP isn't going to be a flawless thing. I'll wager that iMovie does it better! (Though I've never tried it myself) Most pros deliver HDCAM if going to broadcast, and we don't edit HDV natively. Instead, we capture it as ProRes, then use a card like a Kona 3 or an IoHD to turn it into uncompressed HD for delivery.
If after a totally clean installation of the system startup disk still prevents you to print to video with HDV, I'd suggest you fill out a feedback form in the FCP menu. Apple's FCP team reads and logs every single one of these I'm quite sure. They don't read these forums in fact much. They are for user to user discussion.
Hope this helps you.

HDV Print to Video - Video Doesn't Display or Record on Camera

I am editing HDV 1080i60 on FCP 5.1.3 and when I try to Print to Video, the camera screen displays "HDV in" and "i.LINK" but remains blue and does not allow me to press the record button. However, with the same camera (HDR-HC1) and using Final Cut Express I am able to print to video (although this is annoying because it has to convert to Apple Intermediate Codec).
Has anyone else had a similar problem?

OK, I have discovered the problem, and it's a doozy.
Her HDV sequence was set for 1280 X 1080, HDV 1080 Compressor, rather than 1440 X 1080. We have no clue how that happened, but it did.

*** HDV print to video stutters and never gets going.

I'm working in HDV and trying to print my project to video and am having absolutely no success. I've checked and my camera IS connected. I conformed to HDV before choosing file>print to video and then DID to the latter.
When I press record on my camera and return on the keyboard it looks like it starts going, but the minute my sequence starts playing the time on the camera starts and stops and nothing gets printed to the tape.
Can anyone suggest what to do here? I really need to print this project back to tape.......
Thanks in advance!

I would say yes set the camera to HDV recording, and many times the ilink setting is not set to HDV so the signal is coming to the camera in HDV but the camera is set to and looking for DV.
You control the ilink/firewire port manually on the Z1, however any changes must be made while the FW cable is disconnected.
Try this, turn off the camera, disconnect the FW cable, turn on the camera in VTR mode, open the menu to Rec In/Out, find i-link conv and set to OFF for HDV (or ON for DV), then back out of the menu and turn off the camera and connect the FW cable, and turn it back on. By turning off the camera it will insure safe FW connections so there is not possibility of shorting this port.
These step will properly set the deck up to receive HDV.
Good Luck

Some videos not showing up on AppleTV from iMac's iTunes library

Having a strange problem. Not sure if it is an iTunes problem or an AppleTV problem but I will try here first.
I have several videos in my library, some of which are digitized home videos I edited/rendered, others are AppleTV converted DVD's I own. For some reason, many of them are not showing up on my AppleTV when I go into "Computers" off the main menu and select my iMac with the iTunes library of them. Some show up, but more and more do not. They are all properly formatted and done so using Compressor settings for AppleTV. No idea why some are not showing up.
If you look on the iMac with the library on it, they all show up fine. And if I try and play the video on my iMac but tell it to use AirPlay to play the video on the AppleTV, it plays just fine on the TV/AppleTV. I do have Home Sharing turned on for ALL my media and I also use iTunes Match service.
When I try and use my iPad to access videos under the "shared" option and select my iMac's iTunes library, I get the same incomplete list. So I am thinking it's the iTunes library that's sending out an incomplete list for some reason. No idea why.
I have tried drag-and-dropping the videos into the iTunes library as well as using the "Add to library" menu command, neither makes a difference.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Also - i had a similar issue - lots of movies in itunes - not showing up as selectable on apple tv - i found that you have to go to "list" in itunes and select any movies i wanted to be selectable when i switched to the apple tv device - can someone please create a word for - "my software changes and somehow i'm an idiot for not knowing what magic the programmers are throwing down" - this too will change in the future - just need the happy customer service types to maintain a voice with the programmers and bottom line guys and gals.

Videos not showing on iPad using Muse CC

I have created a website that uses two different videos, they work fine on the desktop version but do not show up on the Tablet version. I'm testing on an iPad but pretty sure it will be the same result for other tablets. They will also have to work on the smartphone version. Any suggestions? Help appreciated, this is rather urgent as the website must launch in the next day.

Translate english to spanish ! Hola saludos desde Venezuela, revisa si los videos que estas subiendo no estan en formato flash , trata de que sean en .mp4 o el archivo .ogg que son los que se pueden visualizar desde ipad o table. Envia una muestra de tu web , saludos.

ICloud videos not showing on iPad

On my iPad, I can't see all of the TV shows in my cloud (app:Videos). It looks like I can only see the ones that were downloaded on a devise, not the ones downloaded via iTunes on my PC. I've checked the iPad's settings under iTunes & App Store for Show All Videos, and iTunes Match and they are green. I've also checked under Videos and Show All Videos is green there too. The kicker: my iPhone is showing all of my clouded TV Shows... Is there a setting I'm missing on my iPad?

Doesn't sound like you missed anything. Assuming your iPad is signed into the Apple ID used to purchase the TV shows they should appear as iTunes in the Cloud videos on your iPad. You might try toggling Off, then back On under Show All in Settings>iTunes & App Store to see if that would do any good. You also could try force closing the videos app (double-tap the home button, locate Videos in the list, swipe up on the image above the app icon to close it, tap the home button again).

Printer/Paper profiles not showing up in Lightroom 1.3.1

I installed 2 new paper profiles from Red River over the weekend in XP Pro. Only 1 of them actually show up in lightroom to choose from. The one that can be selected works fine but I can't view the other one. I've tried uninstalled and reinstalling it. I can, however, see and select this profile in Photoshop CS and other applications. Lightroom seems to be the only one with problems. Does this point back to a red river problem or is lightroom picky about something I don't know?

I talked to LR today -- no help, told me to call Epson.
Epson advised me to go tp PRINT mode > RT menu > Print Job > Managed by Printer click this and choose other. Drop down menu appears and you can choose your profile. then back to print setting and the profile should show up there.
My profile did not show there -- I was advised that because I have Matte Black ink cartridge in the print that the Premium Luster will not show because PL will only print with Photo Black.
So I need to change the ink type and hopefully I will be able to print on the Prem Luster.
ope this helps you.
