1080 60i in fcpx isnt able to play back smoothly

I shot in 1080/60i and there is no setting for this so the play back looks shakey.  is there any way to save my project?

Panasonic AVCCAM IDK? What is that? Google can't find it.
Select a clip and press Shift-Cmd-R to reveal in Finder. Open the clip in the QT player. Press Cmd-I for the movie inspector.
Do you have to render the media? Is there an orange line in the timeline?
Where's the media BTW? On an external FireWrie drive? Was the media optimized when you imported it?

  • Hi Def video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly in FCPX

    I have the latest version of Final Cut Pro X only an older, but fully compatible IMac, and have a new Panasonic AG-Hmc 40P video camera. I have shot video on my Gro Prop Hero 2 and the playback of the unedited video is perfect, but as I scroll through the unedited footage shoot by the Panasonic, the video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly. The video plays perfectly on the the camera in play back mode, but in FCPX it is junk.
    Do I have an incorrect setting that is doing this? I adjusted the palynack in preference but that made no difference.  I need help?

    FYI...
    There's a hidden feature in Mac OS X Lion that you can use to convert your video footage to Apple ProRes with very little effort and to the right specifications...
    Bring your video footage into your desktop or hard drive and then select all of them, and then right-right click on one of them to bring up the options menu... select ENCODE SELECTED VIDEO FILES. Mac OS X will take care of the rest for you automatically.
    If this option doesn't show up, make sure to install those codecs I recommendad earlier...

  • How to export video that plays back smoothly?

    I have an HD project in Premiere Pro CS4 that is about 9 minutes.  When I render out to Flash for the web, once it's all buffered it plays back real smooth.  So the client wants a copy of the "file" to be played on his computer running Windows and Windows Media Player which he will attach to a large 55" flatscreen via HDMI at a trade show.  I rendered out several different files ranging from .MOV to H.264 in various resolutions (1920x1080, 1280x720p, 720x480 wide, iPod, etc.) and tested them on my Dell Inspiron i3 laptop running Windows 7 Home 64 bit connected to my 46" tv via HDMI to simulate what the client would have.
    The 1920 file was huge (2GB) as one would expect and plays back jerky
    The 1280x720p .MP4 file was about 400mb which I was excited about, but plays back jerky
    The other two (.MOV and .MP4) at 720x480 play back smoothly
    So I'm guessing that it's either a disk / processor issue with playing back the larger files or combo of that and the graphics card or am I having an issue with the way the settings are set in the export options?
    The box I'm producing the video on is a Mac i7 quad-core, 8GB RAM and a nice ATI card.  The full rez versions of the files play fine on it.  BluRay is out too.  Don't have a burner and they don't have a player.
    So what file format and settings can I render out that will yield smooth(er) results at larger resolutions for my intended output?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    And the answer is.... converting the footage to WMV.  Tada.  I exported a nice huge HD 1920x1080 H.264 file and then used iSkysoft Video Converter to convert it to WMV.  Now the only thing is that iSkysoft Coverter only allows 1280x720 as it's largest resolution for WMVs, but even so, the quality on a 46" LCD TV coming from a laptop via HDMI looks pretty sharp.  The video was running very smooth (and it was running off a USB key <g>) to boot.
    The file size of the original HD H.264 file:  9.02GB
    The file size of the converted WMV: 437.5MB
    All in all I'm happy with this breakthrough.  I was "this" close to buying a BluRay burner, media and telling the client to use a BluRay player.
    Now... I love what I got, but it could be better.  Does anyone know of a good video converter that will convert WMVs to true HD resolution (1920x1080) or is that 1280x720 a WMV limit?
    Thanks all,
    Steve

  • AppleScript for SAP not able to Play back

    Hi,
    I'm not very familiar with SAP or AppleScript but am working on a project for my internship. After generating a report on SAP, I need to export it to a local file.
    As I am using AppleScript, I recorded the task and got the following script:
    tell application "SAPGUI 7.10rev9"
         activate
         set focus session "/app/con[0]/ses[0]"
         press toolbar context button sap grid "/app/con[0]/ses[0]/wnd[0]/usr/cntlCUSTOM                        /shellcont/shell/shellcont[0]/shell" identificator "&XXL"
    end tell
    However, on running the same thing again, the "set focus session..." line gives an error.
    If I remove this line and try, the script executes without errors, but nothing happens at all! From previous scripts, I know a report can be saved as a local file from the System menu, but that path is 'greyed' out here.
    I'm quite confused and have been googling for some solutions -- the only thing I have been able to determine so far is that this is probably a custom defined toolbar for this particular report. However, I have no idea about whether or not its possible to script tasks with this toolbar.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • Movie stopped playing back smoothly

    I'm working on a movie that is presently about 19 gigs, using a new eMac (G4) at my job site. Have the latest version of Tiger OS. Everything up to date for iMovie HD. Playback has worked perfectly until this afternoon. Now frames drop so badly that it looks like a series of stills instead of a film. The audio works perfectly. I have done a lot of audio work- extracting tracks and dropping them elsewhere. Other than that, nothing unusual. I've rebooted, taken out clips, tried all sorts of things to find the culprit but to no avail. Now I am worried that the work is lost. Would appreciate any help you can give.
    Thanks

    Mary, THANK YOU. Your solution did indeed help a lot. I had to boot up from my system disk to do the repair but there is a definite improvement. The movie now plays smooth enough for me to finish editing. It still drops frames but at least I get flow.
    However, Apple, I would like to understand what causes this problem in the first place. It seems quite eccentric to have to repair permissions constantly when editing a film. And I am on a brand new eMac with very little on its hard drive other than the movie and some graphics applications that are closed when I edit. Here is the info on my machine:
    Machine Name:     eMac
    Machine Model:     PowerMac6,4
    CPU Type:     PowerPC G4 (1.2)
    Number Of CPUs:     1
    CPU Speed:     1.42 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU):     512 KB
    Memory:     1 GB
    Bus Speed:     167 MHz
    Boot ROM Version:     4.9.2f1
    I had planned to purchase a powerbook in the next few months but am now having second thoughts. Too expensive for something that needs constant tweeking unless I can find out what causes it. I know people who do not have this problem at all so what am I doing to cause it? C'mon, Apple, How about a tech note.

  • Video does not play back - please help

    Hi everyone...
    Here are the specs:
    Premier Pro CS4
    Windows XP SP3
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    T9400 @ 2.53 Ghz
    2.53 Ghz 2.90 GB
    149 GB HD -  111 GB free space
    I am not able to play back any type of video, it will pixilated and freeze.  The audio plays fine.  I have imported QT files as well as captured video at the standard DV-NTSC Standard 48Khz
    During capeure I have no problem viewing or capturing....
    The thumbnail image shows a proper image but ones I hit play on the thumbnail preview it pixilated and freezes as well.  Even if I drop the clip in the timeline it does not work.
    I checked the material by using it in another computer with PPC4 and it worked fine...so the source material is not corrupted....
    Any and all the help is appreciated.

    Regarding QT that is what I have always used with other NLE, what do you recommend?
    I've had great luck with QT. I've had the Pro version on all machines going way, way back, with not one issue. Many others have not been so fortunate. As I do not let it update, I managed to miss the 7.4.x debacle, where about 3 udpates killed almost everything Adobe. I'm running 7.5.5 on all machines, IIRC. QT is up to 7.6.3, last time I checked.
    I get a ton of .MOV files and specify the Apple Animation CODEC. To date, all have played and edited fine on my PC's. Again, based on the reports from the field, YMMV. Just because I have had 100% success, does not mean that any others will. Many have not.
    Now, I have the Pro update, and I cannot say how that might affect things, other than the "features" of Pro. As it is just an "unlock," the "guts" of QT Player have go to be pretty much identical. Still, my results have always been with the Pro version, FWIW.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS, if there were not issues for many others, the term QuirKtime®, would not have come into popular usage.

  • My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1.  I have imported .mov clips created with a older mac os x (lion) and converted them to import into fce. after doing this as well as putting clips on the fce timeline when playing back t.h

    My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1.  I have imported .mov clips created on a older mac os x (lion) and when I wanted to import them into fce, a quicktime conversion window opened up and converted them (I haven't experienced this in the past). I then imported the converted quicktime clips into my fce project.  After doing this I took selected clips and put those edited clips on the fce timeline.  When playing the video back in the fce timeline,I noticed
    1) the video wasn't playing back smoothly like the original content
    2) when looking at the timecode reading of the timeline, the timecode was sputtering as well as the video and audio.  I exported to quicktime just to see if that was consistent, it was.
    When I play the converted quicktime content independently of fce,  it plays normally (no sputtering of timecode, video and audio.  Need help to resolve the sputtering playback of converted video content in the fce timeline.  I've never experienced this before.  Any suggestions?

    When you say you converted the clips before importing them into FCE, did you convert to AIC or DV and do the converted clips match your FCE Sequence settings exactly?  If not, go back and convert the original files again, using the intended Sequence settings as a guide.

  • Panasonic TM-700K 1080 60i Footage and Workflow

    Hey Everyone,
    I have a new question for you guys that have a Panasonic TM-700K. I recorded a short film in the HA setting instead of using 1080 60p. I believed that I recorded it in 1080 60i mode and then imported into Final Cut Pro using the log and transfer protocol. I used the AVCHD 1080 60i easy setup, but when I tried dragging the files from the capture scratch window into the timeline I got a message that said something like Final Cut Pro needs to reformat your timeline for the proper frame rate and video setting. When I clicked yes I then looked at the video properties in the timeline and they were set to 29.97. Did I not record in 60 fps, and if I didn't, where do I change that setting in the camera? Or is it something with the log and transfer settings? Thanks for your help, I just want to be able to edit the timeline in 1080 60i using the properly formatted footage.

    Hi David,
    I remember you from the other TM-700K discussion. So I am assuming that the video is supposed to play at 29.97 frames per second, but what easy setup option do you use to optimize the 1080 60i footage? I thought it meant 60 frames per second. When I used the DVCPRO HD 1080i60 easy set up option Final Cut Pro converted that setting when I dragged items from the capture scratch window into the timeline. Do you have a good workflow that works well for the 1080i60 footage and if so could you possibly post it? Thanks for your help.

  • How to get better resolution on Blu-ray (1080/60i)

    I'm experimenting with my new AG-AC160A camcorder and have been shooting youth hockey games in AVCHD mode, 1080/60i, 1/120 shutter, manual gain and white balance set appropriately, and florescent scene file setting due to lighting in rink. I have PP CS5 and am disappointed with the relative lack of HD-crispness when the Blu-ray output is played on my HD LED set. I used the above settings based on recommendations I saw in the forum somewhere. Any suggestions on what I can try differently? Thank you.

    To elaborate on Ann's great advice, the Sequence preset you should be using is AVCHD 1080i30 (60i).
    A good way to start out with the correct sequence is to import your clips and then drag one onto the "New Item" icon at lower right of Project Bin. This will create a new sequence to match the source material automatically. As Ann mentioned, you have a non-HD preview format, so if you rendered the timeline to green, and checked "Use Previews" on the final export, then your Blu-ray could have "SD quality" footage in it!!
    Curious why the 1/120 shutter, hoping to get better action motion?
    If you have a current timeline using the incorrect settings, go ahead and add a NEW Sequence with correct settings, open original sequence and "Select All" which is CRTL + A, then CTRL + C to Copy. Then go to the proper AVCHD sequence and Ctrl + V to Paste entire contents. You will now have the edited sequence moved into correct sequence settings. Now use Export and in AME choose "H.264 Blu-ray" and choose the 1080i preset and export, then use results in Encore. The Blu-ray should look excellent when done correctly.
    When exporting from AME, do NOT check the box for "Use Previews", as you want to encode direct from original source and skip any intermediate render clips.
    Thanks

  • Accidentally Shot 1920 x 1080, 60i

    Shot some footage today using two DSLR cameras. One was incorrectly set to 1920 x 1080 60i and when I imported into FCP, the video is not smooth. tried exporting it and got the same result. The other video was shot 24fps. I brought a 60i clip into the project window and exported it using H.264 but no luck. Not sure what to do here or what I have have done wrong. I suspect you may need more information and I would be glad to give it to you on request. I am a bit of an amatuer (obviously) and I may need someone to walk me through it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hi Ian,
    Thanks for the reply. I agree that something odd is happening here. FYI when I run the files through quiktime, they also do not run smoothly. In other words, I imported the files through FCP and after the clips didn't ruyn smoothly, I went to the Event Folder/Original Media and tried to play the clips that way (through Quicktime) and I got the same issue. Does that tell you anything? When I play the clips on the camera they play fine. Is there perhaps an import setting error?
    I tired reset speed but it did not change things. Also, there was no place to reset the speed to 24p. I assume the project is set to 60i since I assumed FCP sets the project to the first clip that is dropped into the project.
    Does any of this make sense to you?
    Thanks

    Thank you

    You don't play video on Mountain Lion. You might play videos within your web browser which perhaps you are. Need the Adobe Flash Player?

    You do need to install it.

  • Converting an XDCAM 1080/60i 35 VBR timeline to SD 16:9 quicktime

    I've created a project in an XDCAM 1080/60i 35VBR timeline. I'd like to export a
    standard definition 16 x 9 quicktime out of it for presentation purposes to people without
    the facility to play XDCAM discs.
    I know I can do this with FCP and/or Compressor, but I'm not sure how.
    Can somebody tell me precisely how to go about this?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    If you don't have the money to pay for a high quality hardware based standards conversion then you can use a slow (but still good quality) software conversion method ... try Apple's own Compressor application which is part of your Final Cut Studio suite
    Or if you prefer to stay within FCP then you might want to have a look at Graeme Nattress's excellent Standards Conversion plugin set:
    http://www.nattress.com/Products/standardsconversion/standardsconversion.htm
    By the way, if you go with the former then don't waste your time staying in the XDCAM codec, instead you'd be better targeting Apple ProRes 422 as your edit intermediate codec for the converted clips. Similarly, if you prefer to stay in FCP and need to to do a timeline based conversion using the Nattress plugins then you would likely do well to set your sequence format to Apple ProRes 422 rather than native XDCAM HD.
    Cheers

  • Correct PPro CS3 Project Settings for Neoscene/Cineform 1080 60i .avi files?

    I am looking for clarification on the correct Premiere CS3 project settings for AVCHD 1080 60i NTSC files converted with Neo Scene with the "maintain source frame format" option.
    Should the PPro project settings for "Field" be upper or lower field first?
    On a Cineform discussion board I was told all interlaced HD footage is upper field first.
    However, I have found that a PPro project setting of upper field first results in much more sluggish playback than lower field first.
    So seems there is additional processing needed with the upper field first project setting and this suggests to me that lower field first is the proper setting.
    Any thoughts from NeoScene/Cineform users out there?
    Thanks!
    The project settings I have been using are:
    Editing Mode: Desktop
    Timebase: 29.97
    Frame size: 1920 x 1080
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Fields: Lower Field First
    Audio: 48000

    ...is not so good - bad colours. In Microsoft DV Avi-DV Pal compression. D1/DV PAL Wide is pixelate. I have click the de-interlace so it is not because of that. I have no problem to use encore it the file i send is compressed in those settings i mention before. I have no problems in compressing the file with those settings at all, like i have when i want to transfor the video in avi uncompressed.
    Oaaa...i am going crazy here. I have had so many problems with this and if i end up working this documentary and not beeing able to export it i go mad!...this if i do not go there before because of this problems...

  • Should I record video in Iframe format or other format such as 1080/60i or 1080/60p--want to import to imovie or abobe premiere?

    I am traveling and recording video using a panasonicHCX920 full HD camera.  I will probably import video into Imovie 11 on my Imac--but if I switch to final cut or Adobe premiere what recording format should I use?  I know Iframe works--but does it work for HD movies played back on a HD TV?  Which format is best? 
    1080/60I (1080/60p) or Iframe?
    Thanks

    Hi
    iMovie can not yet - use p50 or p60 - as standard at all !
    So I would use i50 or i60
    the progressive material (p60) can be converted outside iMovie to interlaced (i60) - but I don't know how.
    FinalCut Pro X - Can import and use progressive material - i've read.
