Mixing 4.3 pal in a hdv time line

Hi,
I am doing a project which has Hdv footage and is to be mixed with 4.3 pal footage Can this be done?
and if so
How?
I have tried a few things but with out great success the 4.3 footage is so small.
I won't go in to what i have tried apart from It did not work, I would really like to know how to get over this, I do not want to down convert the hdv footage
thank a lot for you answers.
Kind regards
trevor

PAL what? DV, HDV?
To convert PAL to NTSC, or visa versa, you need to get STANDARDS CONVERTER from www.nattress.com.
If you need to upcovert DV to HDV, then you need to look at Compressor for this option. Here is a tutorial on how to get DV to DVCPRO HD, there might be an option for HDV, and if there is, you'd just choose that.

Can't view un rendered HDV 1080-30 on time line

I captured HDV video I shot on my JVC GY HD200 to Final Cut 5.4. When I drop the sceen on the
time line it has to be rendered once I render if I move it then it wants to be rendered again.
This is driving me crazy... I just want to edit the project then render it. The only way I can
view the video is to scrub the time line. HELP...Please

Steve, I am taking a shot in the dark here but I think that you may be new to FCP and video editing? Am I right?
I think that the most helpful thing that I can do is to point you to some resources. Start with the big box of manuals that came with your software. They can also be found in the help menu. Study how to set up FCP. You want to look at things like anamorphic, HDV, viewer.
If you don't find a solution there then search these forums for anamorphic, and HDV.
It's not that I don't want to help you, it's the give a fish or teach to fish kind of thing.

My captured video is all mixed up in the time line after capture

hi after i capture my video it gets all mixed up in the time line nothing is in the right order and it is all cut up. I don't know what happened I have successfully exported a video to idvd before and published it but when i tried to again this happened
if anyone can help thanks

I have the identical issue. Open a project that was fine 12 hours earlier. Now I open the project and all my clips and subclips show up in the browser, but the timeline is empty. Click on sequence 1 - empty. I tried switching my scratch disk from the original external drive to another one that was a mirror copy of the first - changed the scratch disk location. Then had the issue with no sequence data in the timeline. Reverted to original external drive and scratch disk location. Same problem - no sequence data. I can open other previous projects and they're fine. I don't have multiple sequences in my projects - I just build in the timeline, if that has anything to do with the problem. This is very strange. Appreciate any help anyone has.

1080i and 720p mixed time line

I asume that that you can have mixed formats on the time line but one format will have to be rendered each time its added the the t/l. the formats are 1080i amd 720p.
cheers angus

No...they are both 16:9. Just resize the other to match.
Best to capture one in the other format if possible, to avoid rendering.

Can only export 18 minutes of 1 hour time line

Hello
I have a completely rendered, for Neat noise reduction, time line that is just over 1 hour long by about a minute. This was an award ceremony for a client shot on Sony PMW320 camcorder with SxS card at 1080i 29.97 and set up the same in Premiere on the time line. Lights illuminating the stage at request of the CEO had been taken down much lower than they should have been because they were bothering him at the lecturn where he was speaking in pre-show checks. Consequently I had to use 12db gain which left me with a lot of noise. My plan was to use Neat noise reduction and take care of all the render times and mixing of two mono audio tracks in Premiere before giving him a Quicktime file to use in his FCP system and then he would be able to insert the reaction and floor shots from a 2nd handheld B camera which was mobile on the floor. I did not know if he had a good noise reduction software program himself and just wanted to save him all the labor.
As I am new to Premiere my first project for this for the time line did not have the audio set up correctly, but the clips were imported into the Media Browser and were able to be worked with OK for a short while before I realized I would nead to redo it for the audio. From my camera it was a continuous 1 hour take but the SxS files copied straight from my camcorder first to my 2 3TB internal drives set up for RAID 0 on my new Mac Pro from OWC built with their MPG program, were broken into 3.56GB clips of 12 min 32 second lengths.     6 core 3.46ghz CPU and Quadro 4000 GPU 48gb memory for the system.
On the second and new project with the correct audio settings, I experimented with copying those same files from the camcorder to a different 1TB internal drive. I must have done that differently, maybe by hi lighting the separate clips together and dragging them into the drive, because when I imported them into the Media Browser this time they came in as 1 continuous file. And that is what is on the noise processed and audio mixed time line.....one continuous sequence with no cuts or breaks in it.
Twice now I have tried to export the completely rendered "continuous" sequence to a 64gb flash drive with the USB 2.0 connector on the Mac. Each time the process has taken about 7 and 1/2 hours and each time it has stopped at 18 minutes and 11 seconds in. 4.29GB copied for both tries. Does anyone see something here that explains why the export would stop short each time in the same place? No error messages, and no problem with RAM as I have the 48gb.   When setting it up and the export begins it shows in the window the full 1 hour length with the start and end points it will take it from.
Thanks much
Ron

Sorry for the delay in getting back. I had woken around 3:30AM and got up to check the status of the 2nd export attempt, and when I found the same situation as the first attempt, stayed up to post here and see what reponses hopefully might be here when I got up in the morning.
Ann, there are no gaps on the time line as it is one continuous file, due I guess in how I saved it to the other disc. Just uploaded the one really good Neat profile I got on the individual file segments in the browser from the RAID drive that I had placed on the time line with the first sequence. The first three of those left a bit more noise in some spots, but a lot of noise still crawling on the right cheek of the CEO in the low light he saddled us with. Luckily the 4 try Neat really nailed it.
BUT....after typing the above I just re-inserted the Lexar flash drive and brought up its info and yep it does say, "MS-DOS (FAT 32)"    Uggghhhh! Bought it a week and a half ago from Office Depot in town. Wasn't cheap.... $178 plus tax. Still have my receipt, hopefully they will refund. This type of scenario is exactly why I bought that large a size ....64gb. To be able to have enough space to leave shooting job with a client if necessary and they could mail it back to me when the job was offloaded.
Is there any kind of flash drive that size then, that doesn't have the file size restriction I can pick up from on line or like a Frys please? I think the incredibly slow export was due to the 2.0 USB and all the Neat noise reducing information, plus HD codec I guess. 7 1/2 hour export and only 18 minutes out of the hour covered.. Are there any other convenient options to leave with a client, with maybe SATA connection, which would be safe to ship back to me in these situations that could take the jostling from shipping?
Thanks very much
Ron

NEED HELP PLEASE / GREEN LIGHT LINE IN EDITING TIME LINE

Hello,
I am editing a video using premier 6.5.
When I render the video edited the red line in the work space pass to dark green what is normal, but also appears a smal portion of the video with a light green line in the rendered area.
When i play the video and the reader pass through this light green part the sound sudently increasy 80%.
I tried everything even re editing that section but the light green line keep appearing after rendering and the sound problem back.
This part of the editing where the light green line is have many sound tracks but the sound level is the same to the rest of video so dont understand why that happen
can anyone help please?

Hi thanks for your reply.
When i render the time line a dark green line appears...as u say that show the working area has been rendered but in this case also other extra line appears in part of the video ( only in a section) the line is light green ...diferent to the other
when I play video and pass though this light green line the music tract gets extra loud 80% higher.
When I play again the video to check if the other parts has been affected I can see all sound levels have changed and need to use audio mixer to balance them again. In spite of that when pass thought light green line all happen again.
could be that the sound tracks have different formats? in that section where the problrem is I have 6 diferent sound tracks overlaped but the sound level is the same for all so do not understand why when i render appear this green extra line

Can two different video formats be combined on the time line?

I am working with several clips some are older and standard, others were shot on a HD camcorder. Can they be combined on the time line. Do I have to change the settings... I am using FCP 6. Thanks.

The short answer is yes, standard definition and high definition can be combined in the same timeline. There are a series if problems and issues that arise from the fact that the HD will typically be 3-7 times the size of the SD. These tend to be questions for the editor, not tech support.
The best way to approach this is to read the FCP online Help files dealing with mixed SD/HD and start making the decisions on how you want to utilize the footage, then the questions you ask will get you the specific answers you desire.

IS the audio time line gone?

In older versions there was a time line for adjusting the volume (mixing)
over the period of your movie. I think that is now gone right?
I keep using the older version because I can incrimentally tweek volumes that
clash with other things like dialogue.

So what is a guy to do?
I use (and like) both iMovie 09 and iMovie 06. But when I need the audio time line or better quality I use iMovie 06.
If you like iMovie 06 better, as many do, you can continue to use it. I find that it works perfectly with my Mac Pro, iDVD 09 and the latest Mac OS.

Can anyone help. I need to reuse my SDHC cards and transfer footage from an ongoing profect to a hard drive. Can i edit from the Hard drive or am I better transferring info striaight from camera to time line

Hi I am using a JVC GY-HM100 camera which is meant to work well with final cut pro. I have an ongoing project but need to save money and resuse the SDHC cards that are currently full of footage.
Would I be better off transferring the footage straight to the time line (as rumour has it you can do this with this camera) or store the footage on a hard drive and edit it later without risk of losing the footage.
Many thanks
Lindabob

Thanks Linda,
Here's some more info for you:
This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
Check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system. Do NOT import any of the settings etc from the old account - simply use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended - but remember, if you reinstall the system, and then use Migration Assistant (or anything else) to import all your old settings etc etc, you may well be importing the cause of the conflict in the first place.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less (about half that for Multicam). If you have a long project, work on short sections, make them into Compound Clips and then paste these into a final project for export.
If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

How to keep date time line in collected alert message in linux platform

Hi Friends,
In linux server for 11g oracle. how do I keep date time line for each error message?
example as
cat alert_test.log | grep 'ORA'
grep 'ORA' alert_test.log
I like output as
Mon Aug 20 01:54:29 2012
ORA-01560 caused by SQL...........
I know we can use diag... But I want to some linux command for my debug.
Thanks
newdba

Another option is to make your alert log accessible as an external table.
Demo here:
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/externaltab.html
Find "alert log" on the page. Add a numeric column to the table and create a sequence and you can put in a surrogate row number that will allow you to pull sections using LEAD and LAG as you please.

Solution for: no audio in time line - conforming issues - unspecified error occurred

these are all the same issue and i have the solution for it.
Adobe has once again let down the non professional user but ignoring this bug. They have also deleted alot of my other posts on the adobe forums.. perhaps so you cannot receive help from me?? who freakin knows..
b Problem:
you import your footage and there is no audio in the time line. you see the audio clip there but no information in it. some people say its because of MPEG format but MPEG files works fine in Windows Movie Maker, Ulead, Pinnacle, Sony Vegas.. etc...
let it be known that its an Adobe Premiere issue.
b Solution:
b step 1:
close adobe premiere
b step 2:
open My Computer and go to tools at the top. From the drop down menu go to folder options. In folder options click the view tab. In the advanced settings section where it says 'Hidden files and folders' make sure 'show hidden files and folders' is selected.
b step 3:
open My computer and go to c:\ drive > Documents and settings. Now click into your user name (NOT 'All users') in my case its 'proGamer'. Now click into 'Application Data' > 'Adobe' > 'common' > 'Media Cache Files'.
b step 4:
in this folder find the files you were just trying to import by searching the name. in my case its file: 20081217030338. you will now see 3 different file types with the same file name you were importing: CFA, PEK, MPGINDEX. delete them all!
b step 5:
go back and open adobe premiere, open up your project again and it will automatically recreate those files you just deleted. hopefully correctly.
b NOTE:
If this hasn't worked then open your adobe premiere project, clear all trace of the files with no audio and start again from step 1. then after step 5 just import the files back into your project.
This has proved to work with every file i've imported that had the audio not conformed.
b your second option:
simply play your clip in WMV or VLC or what ever player you use and record the audio in real time in stereo by using some music editing like cubase or logic audio. you can also use something more friendly like 'recordpad' found here: http://www.nch.com.au/recordpad/screenshots.html now you can buy it from these guys or get it how ever else you like
lemme know how u go

dmd,
I've read plenty of places that they know about the bug and are going to fix it. Will from Adobe said so in a few older posts. It's also listed as an issue in the 4.0.1 readme.
I agree that this is the most screwed up Adobe release ever but I doubt they're deleting your posts to hide it. Never know though.....
"Adobe has once again let down the non professional user but ignoring this bug" I actually wish Adobe would forget the consumers and make Premiere Pro more friendly to professionals. Dozens of multimillion dollar movies have been edited with Avid and Final Cut over the past few years. Adobe doesn't put forth any effort make Premiere a pro application. Because they pander to the consumers and prosumers they end up messing up the product for everybody.
Premiere Elements is for consumers, Premiere Pro should be for the 'Pros'

How do I go directly from one frame to another particular frame which is far away in the time line? (e.g the two frames are separated by 100 frames)

How do I go directly from one frame to another particular frame which is far away in the time line? (e.g the two frames are separated by 100 frames). I mean, is it possible to take the playhead from one frame to another frame directly which is 100 frames away in the time line? Thanks for any reply.

In the Timeline, go to the first frame and press M to put a marker on it. Go to the other frame you want to jump to and put a marker on that one too.
Now press Ctrl+Semicolon to go to the previous marker - or Ctrl+Comma to go to the next marker.

Multiple use of the same video time line for different audio tracks

I have a 90 minute video timeline
I will be putting different audio tracks in multiple languages.
But as i was just editing i wondered if i could use only a segment (30 minutes ) of the timeline
along with a 30 minute audio.
Example:
So the first thing on the menu will be the whole 90 minute video
with a 90 minute music track
Second thing might be the 90 minute video with a 90 minute commentary
Third thing might be the first 30 minutes of video with a different commentary
Forth thing on the menu might be the first 30 minutes of video and 30 minutes of
a different language
Etc.
I realize i will need to make space (mb) for all the audio.....but if i could use the same video or pieces of it
that would be fantastic.
If i can do this i am presuming i should use playlists and chapter playlists to get it done?
I have never done this before and would love some feedback on an over view or tips
that might save me some guess work
Thanks for any help :-)

Hey Stan!
Thanks for your help...i think i am really getting this. And have learned a lot.
I had to go back to my computer programming and flowcharting skills to figure out the flow :-)
And i still have 153mb to spare when i build it.
I ended up lining up all the different videos and audios exactly for each time line except for 1 timeline.
Question: I know if the audio is shorter it will be ok.... but if the audio is longer than the video on a timeline ( and its the audio i assigned it by specify link )
Will the DVD keep playing until the audio is done or end when the video is done playing?
2nd Question: I am previewing the playlists with the "Preview from Here" feature
I specify the link and chapter within that timeline ( it is the only timeline with more than one chaper....the one with the longer audio than video from the question above )
For most of the audios i only need video chapter 1.....the preview here plays it ok but if i hit the skip to next (in the preview button on theright of the play button)...it goes to the next chapter #2... instead of the next timeline chapter 1 like it is programed to do from the playlist.
I am wondering if this is just fluke in the preview feature...or will it do that on the actual DVD as well?
Lastly because i am using different timelines. I am wondering if there are delays between playlists? for example...i have a long audio that continues between three timelines...i have spliced it pretty fine so it picks up perfectly on the next timeline...but i am wondering if the DVD when playing in realtime will have a little black space inbetween timelines.
Thanks again for your help and time :-)
Mark
Hiya Mark.
DVD-Video is video dominant, with the audio always following the visuals so if the audio ends berfore the video it will not (okay, should not) be a problem.
However, the other way around could go either way - if the actual video timeline has ended the audio may well truncate so I would personally add videoblack at the very least.
I am also not at all sure how you are going to work a single contiguous audio file across 3 separate playlists. This sounds flawed in concept to me (have I misunderstood your meaning?). In DVD-Video the format is graphically/visually dominant - the audio must always be tied to a visual asset be it a menu or a timeline - so there is no way to have one piece of audio playing across 3 timelines and having it play back glitch free whilst the timeline changes. You will not get a black space - it will simply stop. So unless I have misunderstood you in some way.........
As Stan says, preview is flaky - the only way to know for sure is to multiplex & burn.

How do I get the full size of my pics or video into the time line?

Greetings,
I've nener been part of a forum before and an wondering if this will actually be taken seriously. I'm new to video editing and know little about the program I am using (Adobe Premiere Pro CC). Would someone please advise me as to how I can add the full size video or pics to the time line. It appears whenever I add something from my Gopro 3 HD camera I only get a partial of the video / pic.

How to add a custom multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played?

How to add a custom skin in multimedia playback control to add a time line of what is being played? As it is being played...
I need a time line so any part of the what is being played can be found by time, ie at 1 minute and 30 seconds in and continues for 45 seconds out of a 50 minute audo.

If you're talking about a playback controller within the rich media annotation (RMA) then you need to write your own widget in Flash or Flex, and then place the video and widget files using the multimedia "Add Flash" tool in Acrobat instead of the "Add Video" tool. Aside from a bunch of proprietary code to handle events, commenting and the API (which you can live without for basic play-pause-scrub applications), video RMAs are just an embedded SWF file containing an FLVPlayback component. The skin and the video file itself are added to the RMA as resource entries. You can build your own version and have it display whatever controls you want, provided you know how to write ActionScript!
If you're talking about a controller that's external to the RMA (e.g. a series of links or buttons elsewhere on the page) then in the past you would use FLV video files and the 'cue points' feature that's built into Acrobat - however Adobe removed the ability to create FLV files in the latest version of CC, so unless you have CS6 or earlier it's a non-starter. Instead you can manually set playback start points using the special "multimedia operations" link action in your PDF - though stopping playback at a defined point is very difficult without FLV cues. For that you're back to writing your own widget.
