24p AVCHD

Though I'm going to upgrade within a couple months, I'm currently using a Panasonic HDC-SD9 for a few projects, and like shooting in 24p mode. The AVCHD editing modes in PE7 do not offer a "Full HD" mode with 23.976 timebase. It instead offers a 29.97 timebase. Can anyone advise me on how to edit with an AVCHD 24fps Timecode (or whatever)?

IIRC, someone posted a link to a custom Preset for 24p. I think that it was Paul_LS. The post was about two months ago, and there was a more recent one on writing custom Presets, though I do not recall if 24p was in that one. You might do a search for "24p" and filter that search on People, choosing Paul_LS.
If I find it first, and my memory is correct, I'll post the link.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - PrPro has a full custom Project setting - Desktop, though I think that one will need to create this outside of PrE and then add it in.

  • CS6 Firewire 16:9 preview is letterboxed on widescreen monitor

    With CS6, is there a setting to fix the Firewire Preview since the 16:9 video is incorrectly letterboxed on a widescreen video monitor? It is basically letterboxing something that doesn't need to be letterboxed.This is for a 1080 24p AVCHD project with 1080 24p video files.
    Adobe Encore & After Effects CS6 properly dsiplay the Firewire Preview on a widescreen monitor.
    In Encore, there is acctually a setting in the Preview Menu that lets you change the TV Mode from 16:9 to 4:3 Letterbox. That only affects the preview when choosing to the Preview the DVD. When playing the video from the Timeline or clicking on a DVD Menu that setting doesn't change how the Firewire Preview displays and is always 16:9. Premiere is always 16:9 letterboxed.
    Any suggestions on how to get Premiere to display 18:9 using Firewire Preview without letterboxing it?
    Randy

    I checked it using various Firewire devices but they all act the same in this situation. Pioneer DVD recorder, Sony DV camcorders.
    The unique thing with Premiere CS6 compared to CS5.5 or earlier versions is that it allows Firewire previews with the Mercury GPU on, it doesn't force you to turn that feature off and use the Mercury Software setting instead which is lower performance if you have the proper video card.
    I just checked it using Premiere CS5.5 and it does the same thing. In 1080 HD Sequences, Firewire out has the 16:9 incorrectly letterboxed, or what I call "double" letterboxed.
    With both CS5.5 and CS6, the Firewire preview is correctly displayed in a DV 480i 16:9 Widescreen Sequence.
    A little annoying but this is where an old Sony PVM 4:3 broacast video monitor works well in combination with a widescree 16:9 video monitor still. Simply turn off the 16:9 mode and it will dsiplay it correctly when editing an HD Sequence. When using a DV widescreen Sequence you would then click on the Sony PVM's 16:9 mode so it would letterbox correctly.
    Surprised Adobe didn't fix this in Premiere CS6

  • What is the Data Rate of the Cache in Adobe Premiere CS6

    Hi,
    Trying to build a raid array to edit with and want to know how much speed i need for caching read/write drive for premiere and After Effects. I'm of the impression that the cache doesn't need more than a single 7200rpm drive (~120MB/s) but really i have no clue what the data rate that adobe caches to is or what the data rate to read is
    so it's 2 questions
    how fast does premiere write the cache? (i know this is system dependent but a ballpark figure would be good for say a sandy bridge i5 2500k system with a 2 raid 7200rpm drive)
    and
    what's the data rate to read the cache in a 1080 24p file?
    also, when doing the final export does premiere/after effects read from the Cache or the original files or both?
    thx,

    ok i've figured out the physics of this question.
    The Cache Read data rate is always larger than the Cache Write data rate, because the computer would have to be rendering to Cache faster than realtime for the Write rate to be higher, which would make it unnecessary to render to cache in the 1st place. So I'm really only worried about the Cache read data rate. Does adobe have a paper that tells us what the data rate is for different sequences.
    my 3 common workflows are

  • Reversed or swapped frame glitch in clips logged and transferred from GH2

    Hi
    When I log and transfer 24p AVCHD footage from my panasonic GH2 in FCE I'm getting occasional swapped, backwards or reversed frames - it appears as a movement glitch in the final video file. What is happening is that every few minutes, I see this pattern: two frames will be swapped (they are in reverse order) then one frame where it should be, then another two that are swapped (or in reverse order).
    I can't figure out a pattern as to when it happens, but it happens in the same place every time i transcode, even if i set different in/out points. Shows up when the resulting AIC files are played in quicktime player also.
    However this glitch does NOT show up when i play the original AVCHD file from the camera in the log and transfer window or in VLC - so its not the camera's fault - it's FCE's transcoder.
    You can fix it by just re-arranging the frames when editing, but its really annoying to try to find them all when you're editing a long project like a concert.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Or can anyone recommend a good and inexpensive 3rd party app to transcode my footage assuming I can't fix this in FCE?
    Thanks!

    Actually it does support 24fps media, it just doesn't let you edit on a 24fps timeline, which makes working with 24fps media annoying - you end up with duplicated frames and therefore somewhat jerky motion.
    But, what actually is coming out of the camera is this particular case is a 29.97fps video "labeled" as 24fps @ 80% speed - (I dunno - ask panasonic why they did that…). When you edit the headers of the resulting quicktime movie, you can get a 29.97fps 1080p video that works great in FCE's 1080p30 timeline (albeit without sound because the GH2 does not record it in this mode).
    I could see that maybe FCE has a problem logging and capturing 24p footage since it does not support 24p timelines, but more likely seems to me like maybe an incompatibility with the AVCHD format in which the GH2 is shooting.
    I'm trying out clipwrap, but unfortunately the demo wont go far enough into my clip to test if it fixes this glitch! (1 min time limit) Neither will the VoltaicHD demo.

  • What is the sample rate of voice memos?

    I often record lectures via Evernote audio notes on my iTouch.  I want to convert those audio files to text.  A piece of software named, MacSpeech Scribe has caught my eye.  A review states, "a minimum sampling rate of 11.025khz" is needed for the conversion.

  • What's the best way to deal with Canon pf24 files?

    I'm working on a project shot mainly with Canon DSLR footage (1080p, 24fps.) But now I would like to add some footage from a Canon Camcorder recording in AVCHD format. It would seem to make the most sence to shoot at 24fps, or as Canon calls it pf24. The question is, is premiere or media encoder able to interpret the canon footage and do the proper 3-2 pulldown? Or should I record in 30fps (or pf30) and convert the footage to 24 fps in media encoder before adding it to my project? Keep in mind that I can't just shoot everything in 30p because the bulk of the project is already shot at 24p. Also, I am using CS6. Does anyone have experience with this? Thoughts?

    Ed you are soo right!   PP does not automatically fix the problem by dropping the footage into a 24p AVCHD sequence.  If you have CS6 PP and AE you can use easily fix this ugly problem.
    Excuse me why I step up on my soapbox - Adobe Premiere Pro development team -- please fix this @$%& problem asap!!!!  The PP Interpret footage function is a joke without it!
    The best solution I could come up with after investing a ton of time into this is to use AfterEffects inside PP as a filter.  Therefore you will not have to duplicate or re-render all your PF24 footage to create true 24p clips.  You work with the same source clips throughout the entire process.  Here's what you do - 1st create a 24p AVCHD sequence in PP and drop your PF24 clips into it. Now you can select individual clips or the entire sequence of clips and "right click" and select "Replace with AfterEffect Composition".  This will export the selected clip(s) into AE.  Now you can use the world-famous AE Interpret footage function to remove the pulldown issues.  Inside AE right-click the clip - select Interpret footage - select the fielding (in my case it was Upper Field First) - then finally the "magic bullet" - select "Guess 3:2 Pulldown" button.  Now when you jump back into PP you will be working with beautiful "TRUE" 24p footage.
    All the best!

  • HELP!  Audio goes out of sync after export!

    OK, folks. I need your help. I have a looming deadline of THIS FRIDAY to hand this in.
    I have a finished multicam edit of a show that runs 1 hr 20 min. It plays back perfectly in the timeline, all video and audio perfectly in sync. Looks and sounds exactly like what I need.
    When I export the video as an H.264 file, the audio gets out of sync with the video by 13 frames! But that's not all... It doesn't happen to the entire audio track. There's about 50 minutes in the middle of the video where the audio goes out of sync. The audio at the beginning and ending of the video is lined up perfectly in sync. It's just the middle section that gets screwy.
    What do I do?!
    This has never happened before, and I've worked a lot with multicam in Premiere Pro CC before this. Never been an issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere, and also deleting all media cache files, but still no dice.  I also tried copying the clips into a new sequence in the same project, copying the clips into a new sequence in a NEW project, nesting the sequence... nothing works.
    My setup:
    MacBook Pro Retina (Rev. A)
    Premiere Pro CC (latest version)
    Panasonic GH3 footage in 1080p 24p AVCHD timeline
    3 cameras & 1 audio WAV file in Multicam
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    OK, I figured out how to fix it:
    In Premiere Pro CC, click on SEQUENCE > DELETE RENDER FILES.
    Try exporting the movie again.
    It worked! I exported the same sequence, and it took a long while to re-render the audio files, but when it was finished exporting the audio and video were in perfect sync. I'm not sure what caused it, but this fixed it, so hopefully anyone else having this issue can save a lot of time by reading this.
    Cheers!

  • What is the best way to work with AVCHD 720 24p footage in FCE4.1?

    Hi I have a Panasonic HMC-150 and I've been shooting 720 24p footage at 21 mbps transfer rate.
    I was wondering what is the best way to work with this material in FCE 4.1? I see that in the easy set up menu they only have the option of 1440X1080i at 50 or 60 fps or 1920X1080i at 50 or 60 fps.
    Also in the rates drop down menu there is only 50 or 29.97.
    So I was wondering which is the best choice for 720 24p footage and will it look alright in any of them? Also is it possible to customize these settings?
    And finally can you work with faster transfer rates (21mbps) in FCE?

    Yikes, this is going to be tricky since FCE does not support native 24p editing.
    The work around for some of us is that AVCHD material that is 24p is often recorded to disc at 60i using telecine, in which case it can be editing at 29.97 frames per second, and then detelecined afterward for final export at 23.98 fps. The problem is that I think your camera actually records real 24p - not 24p packed into 60i. When you import the material from the camera what does QuickTime report the framerate as?

  • AVCHD 24P Cinema mode not importing correctly

    Hey,
    I have posted a few times about this issue, and each time I get a little closer to solving the problem. I am hoping this is the final time.
    I have a Panasonic AVCHD HDC-SD9 Hi Def video camera. I recorded a comedy show of mine the other night, and when I try to import the footage into FCP, the audio and video don't sync.
    After many troubleshooting experiments, I figured out that the audio is importing at the correct rate, but the video is not.
    The video was shot in "24p Cinema Mode" I shot some "bs" footage both with this mode on and this mode off. Whenever it was on the footage would be imported at 24fps and the audio would get out of sync. Whenever this mode was OFF, the footage would import at 29.98 fps and everything will be fine.
    I really feel I am just missing something simple like a drop down menu option or something, but just can't figure it out. Any help will be appreciated.

    To be very clear, for this 7.1 release, we are only supporting CinemaDNG media from the Blackmagic Camera. No other format is being supported at this time. The pink overlay problem with DNG derived from Canon RAW media is a known issue.
    We are currently in discussions of how to expand our CinemaDNG support going forward, and user input is a vital factor. Nonetheless, Premiere support for the CinemaDNG format is different from the support in other Adobe applications. For more on this, see the section "Enhanced BlackMagic Cinema Camera support" at this link:

  • Importing "24p Cinema" footage from Canon AVCHD camera ?

    Hi all,
    I have bought a CANON HFS10 Vixia AVCHD camera, I`ve made some footage using the "24p cinema" mode.
    When using media browser in PPCS5 and importing it, it still indicates (like in CS4) under "properties", that the footage is "29.97 fps", as CS5 is compatible with this camera specifically, shouldn`t CS5 indicate something like "24 cinema Canon mode" or so ?
    It`s my understanding that the Canon camera produces a 24 fps footage "wrapped" in a 29.97 container; it`s also my understanding that, as CS4 is not compatible with this camera, it looked ONLY at the wrapper and said under properties "29.97 fps", that sounds reasonable for me.
    But what about CS5 ? How do I know if it is really "seeing" the 24p footage wrapped in a 29.97 fps wrapper if it still says "29.97 fps" ? Will it perform the editing and exporting correctly even though ?
    Thank you very much,
    RK

    I was wondering though.....shouldn`t I just NOT DO Anything ?
    Well, that would be ideal... but you know how THAT goes
    There`s an Adobe document at its web site talking specifically about the
    Canon cameras, it mentions specifically my camera and the so-called "24p
    cinema" format.
    Can you post a link? I'm just curious what it says. The biggest issue is that Canon actually has (at least) two different 24p "formats," and your camcorder records to the not-so-easy-to-deal-with version. It's what Canon deems "24pf," which means that it records 18 progressive frames and 12 interlaced frames, but it doesn't flag which are which, so programs that are not able to determine the pulldown cadence can't remove the necessary frames to create a true 24p clip. After Effects (and a number of other methods) can determine the cadence, but that's an extra step, obviously.
    It says that I can use Media Browser to import the files and...that`s
    all, it doesn`t go any further.The option Interpret footage -> remove
    pulldown is greyed out for me (?)
    Yeah, that makes sense, given the above. Do you have a really short clip you wouldn't mind uploading somewhere for a test? I can't find one anywhere online...
    I wonder if I could just edit it normally (labelled as 29.97fps
    though..) and export the timeline as 23.976p....?
    Which results would I achieve ? I`m trying to avoid  spending some
    expensive blu-ray medias doing tests;
    You could, technically speaking, but aesthetically, you'd be pretty displeased with the results. The export process isn't any smarter than the import process, so unless you do the necessary steps, you won't get a good, clean 24p encode.

  • Transcoding from AVCHD 60i for 24p

    Sorry for this long post. I have spent a long time looking for answers.
    I would like to combine different formats into one sequence. I primarily have AVCHD 1080p24 but need to include some 1080i60. All shot with Panasonic Lumix GH2.
    I have logged and captured with FCP7 – Target Format = Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
    FCP7 says:
    - Source Format 1080p24 is Vid Rate 23.98 fps / 1920x1080 / TC Format = Non-Drop / Pulldown = None
    - Source Format 1080i60 is Vid Rate 29.97 fps / 1920x1080 / TC Format = Drop Pulldown = Upper (Odd)
    I would much prefer to make the 29.97 conform to the 23.98. But I don’t know exactly what my workflow should be. Want to retain highest quality possible for eventual DVD and Blu-Ray. Do I need to use compressor on the 29.97 before dropping them into my Sequence set up for 23.98?
    All of my clips look good in the viewer slug. They also play fine when I put them individually in my sequence with conformed setting (letting FC change settings automatically). Only issue was some slight alternating horizontal lines in the 29.97 clips.  The lines are tolerable, but in any case, I thought that I needed to deinterlace the 1080i60 - 29.97 fps. Is that correct? CompressorManualLink
    I put the quick time files transferred through fcp into compressor and tride some different transcodes.
    - Apple ProRes 422 HQ Reverse Telecine. (This produced 24p).
    - Also tried this with the “for Interlace material” and “for Progressive material” versions also set at Telecine and got the same result.
    - Apple ProRes 422 HQ for Interlaced Material with Frame Controls set to Resize Filter “Fast”. Output Fields “Progressive”. Deinterlace “Best (Motion compensated). Anti-alias & Details Level “0”. Rate Conversion “Best  High Quality motion compensated”. Duration 100%. (This took a long time to process).
    I imported these new transcoded clips into Final Cut.
    Once again they, all play fine in the viewer slug except for some strange blotchy pixel distortion at one part on the clip that I did not use Reverse Telecine on.
    However, I did the same test with the timeline and all of the clips now have horizontal lines at least 10 times worse than before! The clip without reverse telecine (still in 29.97) is slightly better off. My sequence settings are:
    HDTV 1080i (16:9)  - I’m not sure what this should be…
    Pixel Aspect Ration = Square
    Field Dominance = None
    Timebase = Set according to clip I was testing
    Quicktime Compressor = ProRes 422 (HQ)
    Quality = 100%
    I’m guessing my workflow is wrong. Do I need to just drop the non transcoded 29.97 clips into the 23.98 sequence and then “send to” Compressor? What settings would I need to use? Or am I supposed to some how transfer/capture the clips into compressor before trasfering to FCP? I don’t know how to work with AVCHD format without first transferring to FCP via ProRes compressor.

    Still hoping for a reply on this. If anyone has any advice would much appreciated.

  • How to edit AVCHD Files shot in 24p when they are a 60i Wrapper?

    Does anyone have a solid workflow for converting AVCHD files that are in a 60i wrapper back to the 24p they were recorded in so that they can be edited in FCP? I am using a Canon Vixia HF 11 as my camera and it saves its files in the above format, and can't seem to find a clear definitive answer to the question. Thanks!

    have you tried using cinema tools, compressor or a third party product like JES De-Interlacer to look at the wrapped footage and try to convert it?
    A lot of people on the net have been trying to get canon to provide flag data on camera so programs can handle it easier, but canon seems to say "it's a consumer camera, if you need this, buy our pro cameras"
    i use cinema tools to convert my footage and then create a new project in fcp as 1920x1080 24p 48hz and edit it within that, then put it to toast and burn it as a blu-ray on dvd. the footage looks incredible when you do it.
    if you plan on using canons 24p(60i) just get ready for a little work.
