16:9 24p Issue

I have 16:9 footage that was shot on Sony DSR-450 23.98fr 2:3:3:2 Pulldown.
I was able to capture just fine, BUT I dont see in Sequence Presets an option for Anarmophic 23.98 to edit this footage.
In the VIEWER window it shows 16:9, but as soon as put on timeline it's 4:3 with letterbox.
If anyone knows, please I like to know what sequence preset I need to choose in oder to edit Anarmophic 23.98 2:3:3:2 NTSC Footage.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) FCP 5.0.4

Is the sequence set as Anamorphic? You can check the Anamorphic box ib Sequence Settings or in the Anamorphoc column in the Browser.
I've found it's better to make the sequence anamorphoc BEFORE dropping any clips into it.

PPro 24p Issues..

So I posted this on the mac forum and got no responses. Thought I'd try here and see if the appleheads were lingering in the main forum.
I've heard that adobe has trouble with 24p footage on mac versions. I'd like to read up on this as I'm looking into a DVX 100b for the sole purpose of 24p (I have FCE but that doesn't support 24p as of now). Thanks in advance, also any fixes or ways to work around the issue people have I would love to know. Thanks.

I would find it strange if Premiere worked any differently on a Mac with this footage.

Best Compression for 1440 x 1080 HDV

I have a short film, around 13 minutes long, which I've recently completed. It was filmed in 1440 x 1080 24fps in HDV. What compressed video format would produce the highest quality "lossless" compression of the film? I'm planning on using the video file as my highest quality master copy –besides the FCP file itself. Thanks.

It all depends on many things, including the running time. (Which camera did you use, I am assuming it is 24P?) Also I am guessing you want to put this on DVD?
Generally you will need to calculate the rates you can encode to make the video fit
[Rate Calculations|http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_7.php]
Keeping mind issues of how rates can affect the DVD
[How Rates Affect Playback|http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_7.php]
Not sure if you are targeting SD (PAL or NTSC) but the video needs to be encoded to m2v which is a compressed Codec (HDV is also).
Compressor (the newest version) and bitVice both do good jobs in creating m2vs off of HDV. In Compressor the frame controls willl help produce better results though it can take longer to encode.
Here is a good thread discussing 24FPS and what is happening
[24P Issues |http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3943775&#3943775]
I would probably export the movie as self-contained to start (not sure if there are alot of color corrections etc that need to be conformed and that can take time) and run that through the encoders, tweaking the settings.

Best workflow for footage in 1440x1080 and vid rate 23.98fps going to a PAL DVD player in europe

I am new at this and still getting a grasp of the technical details. I've made several trips to Germany over the last three years and each time have shot using different settings. Right now I am editing the footage from the first year where I shot 1080i and 24p (Canon XHA1). I've already sent some DVDs with films I edited from this trip, but not sure I've achieved the best result that I can in terms of image quality. What i think i've been doing so far is to edit in the original NTSC, and then when i get ready to burn the DVD to send to my relatives in Germany, I have set the Project Info settings in iDVD to PAL. But from reading the boards I am getting the sense that there are multiple ways to do this, each with varying results. Obviously, I'd like to have my German viewers view a DVD with the best quality picture, and am wondering what is the best way to go about this. I've also read on the boards that most PAL dvd players will play NTSC, which makes me wonder if burning the DVD with iDVD set to PAL is necessary. I've already been told by one of my relatives who has viewed the same film here in america (burned as NTSC) and in Germany (one I sent burned as PAL), that the PAL versions did not have as good a picture quality. Any suggestions?
Also, if you knew that your primary audience was going to be PAL viewers, and you are shooting with an NTSC camera, what would the ideal settings be? On my canon xha1, my frame rate options are 60i, 30f, and 24f. My 'comp out' options are 480i and 080i/480i. My understanding is 1080i50 would be better for PAL, but 25fps is not an option on my camera.
Thanks,
Paul

Well it must be 24 over 29.97 then because it is working with it. I have been able to create timelines and export quicktime movies, etc. The item properties (in FCE Browser) of the clips definitely say 23.98fps-- as I would expect because I know I had the camera set to 24p. However, the frame rate of the sequences i've been editing on say 29.97. This is without me having made any conscious effort to manipulate any settings for the sequences at the outset-- I didn't even know the sequences had settings for this when i started. I just began dragging and dropping footage out of the browser and it must have automatically set the sequence to 29.97. Who knows what I had the Easy Set up set to when i brought the footage over from my camera two years ago. I knew even less then. Are the settings on Easy Set up critical when bringing the footage onto your computer from your camera? What processes are the Easy set up settings governing?
Even with all of that said, you would recommend burning the DVD as an NTSC? An NTSC in a new PAL DVD player will look better than an NTSC burned as a PAL? I suppose I could send them both versions and see which one looks better.
Thanks for you help Tom.
P.S.
On the true 24p issue, I did find this:
There are many posts out there about the Canon XH A1 not having "true 24p".
I think much of that misinformation out there maybe stemmed from (correct me if I'm wrong):
Canon Frame Mode on the standard DV cams was a "simulation: of the 24 frame look.
The Canon HDV 24p actually records each single frame progressively, but using an interlaced method.

Best settings for film based 25fps PAL to Progressive 23.98fps NTSC?

I'm trying to get the best possible results for transcoding film-based 25fps PAL to 23.98 progressive NTSC. However, I'd also like to add back in the 4% slowdown to make the NTSC file look as close to an NTSC derived film transfer as possible.
I've tried various settings, but when I attempt the slow down the audio goes out of synch. Can anybody help? Are there any reference guides for such things?

FCP6 1080i smartrendering workflow to a BDMV-DVD

Using this flowchart ( http://home.arcor.de/spamlos/hdv/hdv01.jpg ) I want to demonstrate my "FCP6 HDV 1080i smartrendering workflow" from logged HDV footage (Sony HC3) to a menu-free 001-BDMV-DVD, perfect playable as a AVCHD-DVD (mpeg2-1080i50 at 25MBit/s) on PS3 and other standalones. You get 40 minutes of finest and only smartrendered HDV material at a DL-DVD disc.
You need the win-freeware tool tsMuxeR Gui and Codeweavers Crossover (37 bugs).
Only effects, transitions etc. from the timeline are rendered. So you see: it is a very fast procedure. tsMuxeR Gui just remuxes (no reencoding). But important: tsMuxeR Gui accepts just a video-only-mov from FCP, the audio comes from a seperate file as it has to be dolby digital (ac3) format.

Canon HV20 - On more thing ...

I'm one of those considering buying the camera, but all the issues with FCP one does have some second thoughts ...
I do appreciate all the efforts by you guys to document the 24p issue, BTW, but I'm unclear if importing footage from this camera is as buggy even when you don't use the «cinema mode» fonction.
Thanks for your thoughts!

I wonder what all those buggy issues are that you speak of. I haven't had any problems. I have captured footage shot in 24p and converted it from the 60i pulldown back to 24p but I didn't really see that much benefit for all the fussing around.
There's quite a bit of info available in the DVNET forums for the HV20 here: http://dvinfo.net/conf/forumdisplay.php?f=139 and in the HV20 forum here: http://www.hv20.com/

24P Advanced Issues with Export

Hey all-
I have a short film that I made on a Canon XL2 with a Firestore drive. The camera settings were in 16x9 with 24P Advanced on the camera, and Quicktime 24P in the firestore selected.
When you open the individual clips in Quicktime, the audio is way off and there is serious artifacting at the end of the video, but when you pull it into final cut (using Final Cut Studio 1, FCP 5.1.4) and edit on either a 24 FPS or 23.98 FPS timeline, everything is perfect.
When I try to export using either quicktime conversion or cinema tools, the audio is way off, as is the video. In fact, it will show artifacting on some of the clips, and the video is way off. I am outputting a DV NTSC with 24P and anamorphic selected, but it doesn't seem to work at all. Every setting I try, even those matching the sequence preset, seem to mess up the export. I have read a few other articles on other websites, but nobody answered them, and I haven't been able to find anything here.
Can anyone please help me?
Cheers!
D

I have found that sending the files to Shake through the FCP timeline and rendering them back out through a file out node takes care of the issue. Seems like a pain, but I guess if it gets me to where I need to be, it will have to do.
Is there anyone who can give me insight as to why this happened? Is it a glitch with the XL2? The Firestore Drive Settings? Final Cut?
Anyone?

PLEASE HELP - 24P footage issue

Hey Guys,
SO I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on a problem I'm having. We shot and have edited a feature film on the Sony ZU1 camcorder on their 24P setting CF24, and I captured it into Final Cut with the pull down setting and it looks great. The problem is when I try and make a DVD copy of the master file, it has a horrible shutter look on the TV. Am I not exporting it properly...it looks amazing on the computer? IS there anything I can do to preserve the quality from the computer to a master export?
I have been fooling around with COmpressor and made two High Quality DVD MPEG2 exports from the Final Cut Quicktime File, with one on the compressor 23.98 and one at 29.97. The 23.98 MPEG had a horizontal interlace to it and the 29.97 MPEG had a really nice clow to it but a nasty flicker to some aspects.
I know that Sony Cineframe is not the best 24P option but seeing as that is unchangeble is there anyway to take my computer quality flow to DVD?

Sony HDV only records to tape as either 60i or 50i. If you have changed the time base somehow then that is your issue. Unless you are truly taking this footage to film then you don't need to ever change the frame rate. You can't remove frames from an interlace only camera.

24p advanced capture issue

hi, folks...
posing an old question that was never completely resolved because i've bumped up against it again.
here's the situation: i've shot and edited hours of footage at 24p advanced on a canon xl2. captured using 2:3:3:2 advanced pulldown removal without problems-- edited nicely into sequence.
but somewhere along the line something happened. now when i capture 24p footage and edit into the timeline i get motion blur every fourth frame (the pulldown frame?) the only way i can get a clean clip is if i capture 23.98 footage using the DV NTSC (30 fps) setting rather than 2:3:3:2 pulldown, then use the "advanced pulldown removal" feature from the tool bar after the fact (thanks patrick for this work-around).
so... situation is i can deal with this funky capture issue but it's an extra step and a pain in the rear-- anyone have any theories on how this happened and/or a permanent fix so i can shoot and capture the way fcp is supposed to work?
btw: checked the camera set-up again -- still 24p advanced, triple checked my fcp capture and sequence settings-- it's all at 2:3:3:2 pulldown removal and 23.98 as it should be. clip analysis on captured clips shows frame rate coming in at 23.98... as it should. couldn't find anything on topic in the search. appreciate thoughts. thanks much.

have you changed or downloaded anything at all that
might force the change in procedure, like a quicktime
update perchance, ipod update maybe???? just fishing
for a clue......
thanks, zeb... but no. i do remember the day things went haywire-- i captured footage off one of the reels and noticed two of five clips had captured at 29.97 instead of 23.98. it was puzzling but i went back through capture presets, sequence, etc and remember double checking and resetting all the pertinent settings before going back and recapturing the footage that had come in a 29.97. it then captured at 23.98-- but the every-fourth-frame motion blur issue cropped up at that point. and it's been happening ever since.
i know the fcp settings are correct -- i just don't get it.
fyi... i notice that as footage plays out through the firewire from the xl2, it looks fine in the camera viewfinder but i can see the motion issues on the log and capture window as it plays-- this is obvious even before initiating capture.

Cisco Catalyst 2960X-24PS-L - Management Issues

I am having issues connecting to the new Cisco Catalyst 2960X-24PS-L switches via USB.
I am successfully connecting from the same PC to Cisco 2960C series and Cisco 2960S switches, but the 2960X switches aren't always working.
Any hints?

So I was able to get it working:
Updated to latest version of Putty, connected something to a switch port and then made sure flow control was off.
A bit different than the older switches.

HELP - PULL-DOWN ISSUE WORKING WITH ARCHIVAL FILM IN 24P

Bear with me here... I'm working on a historical doc for a local PBS station. Camera footage was originated using the HDX 200 in 720p-24n. Much of the program uses old 16mm film that's been xfer'd to an uncompressed video file using the 16mm "Sniper" (a psuedo-telecine transfer system. The system scans the film frames into a pc one at a time and stores the images as a single movie file using a proprietary codec). You can tell the Sniper's software what frame rate the original film footage was shot at - i.e. 18fps, 24fps and so-on. However, when you export it back out it only outputs to a 29.97 interlaced file.
Here's the problem: The film I'm working with was originated at 18fps - not 24. But, I'm working with a 24p sequence. I need to convert the footage so that it plays cleanly in a 24p environment. But I can't run it through CT and do a reverse telecine to remove the pull-down because that's designed for footage that was originated at 24fps only. When I try to do it on footage that was shot at 18fps, I end up with a wierd flashing/banding thing as it tries to apply a 24 frame pull-down to an 18 frame image.
I'm thinking that there has to be a plug-in either for FCP, CT or for the Sniper that can work a pull-down from 18fps film to 24p video.
Anyone have any ideas?
Tim Walton
KVIE Public Television

Yeah, I thoought of that. But I kinda wanted to keep the program in native 24p if I could.
If I did it that way, wouldn't I have to go ahead and edit the program in 24p, then export it out at 29.97, then re-import it into a 29.97 Sequence and finally add the archive material?

CS 6 audio sync issue with 24p P2 footage.

Just upgraded to PP 6 from 5.5. With P2 720p24 footage that worked in 5.5 the audio does not hold sync in PP6. This includes playing the source or in a sequence. It is very far off appearing that the audio is playing at 29.97 and the video playing at 23.976. Footage shot at 29.97 stays in sync.

Audio issues from FCP to Compression to DVDSP regarding 24p

This has probably been asked before. I exported my 2 hour Anamorphic 24p movie into Quicktime self contain with Audio. Once I run through compressor (.m2v and .ac3) And import the files into DVDSP, on the track it progressively goes out of sync. Its good in the beginning and then it gradually goes out of synce. Please Help.

if your audio is in sync with the video only for the first second or so, and then gets more off as time goes by, it may be that your video is at 24fps and your audio is at 29.97 or 30. also, did you check the original move your exported (the one that went to compressor) to see if the audio was synced there?

Apple tv 1280x720 29.97 vs 1280x720 24p. ISSUES WITH THE 29.97

I have a canon HV30 when I shoot 1080i 29.97 FPS and use the compressor default for appletv it compresses the video aspect ratio to 960x540 29.97 FPS and does NOT show up as HD. When I use the same camera and shoot 24fps with SAME ORIGINAL aspect ration then convert with compressor default appletv setting. The output video is 1280x720 24fps and shows up as HD content in the menu. WHAT GIVES why no 1280x720 29.97?

The tv won't play 1280 x 720 at 29.97/30 fps, see this page for specifications
