25i HDV to 24fps

I discovered that vimeo HD video displays in 24p so for the PAL HDV i uploaded there are little jumps every second in HD.
I think having searched that this is pretty hard/not worthwile doing, but is there a method for converting PAL HDV (from sony hdr hc1e) to 24 frames a second.
Additionally, I'm only just getting to grips with technicalities, but should I always deinterlase my video on export in general because that gives better quality(-?)?
Many thanks,
Ross

Deinterlacing progressive footage isn't required for web streams, but it lowers the bit rate a ton and may well play nicer with little or no visible quality loss. It's mandatory with interlaced source however. It may be all you need to do but I figure you need to conform as well.
You can conform 25 to 24 fps in the tools menu in FCP... might try that without the deinterlacing and see the results... if they are OK, they are OK.

  • Best FCP settings for 1920x1080 HDV footage @24fps

    ...shooting film on small community river with a Canon XH-A1...and want to work with cinematic style "beauty shots" So far I'm assuming that import presets in FCP should be set at AppleProRes 422(HQ)...although this taxes my processor...I will be doing simple graphics and project will be about 20 minutes in length. I'd love some opinions on what to watch for and how best to proceed from anyone who is familiar and has worked with this type of set up. Thanks a mil.

    I'm trying to figure out how you are shooting film on a video camera...

  • Sequence settings for HDV 720p 24 fps

    Okay, now that the French is gone I'm back on track, but still confused. I've captured my HDV 720p @ 24FPS footage using LumiereHD & it's separated & ready to go. What sequence settings/editing timebase should I use? I've noted people here saying DVCPro, but others said DVCPro is just problemic/not correct for HDV . . . and the Lumiere forum reccomends using the Apple Intermediate Codec, which I think people here said NOT to do . . . and there's a 720p24 option in Lumiere, but not in FCP . . . is it just like using 24p DV where you edit at regular 29.97? My head is turing into goo. Any sage advice, O sage ones? And I'm finishing on DVD, if that's usefull. Thank you!!!

    Don't stay nervous for ever, you're missing out on a lot of good stuff.
    1. Repair Permissions.

    Still nervous?
    I can't tell you what setting in FCP 5.1 to use, because I no longer have 5.1.
    I would convert the HDV to DVC PRO HD 720p.
    Editing in native HDV is a pain because of the frame structure.
    You will end up with larger files with DVC PRO HD, but since it's all "I-frames" editing and compositing will be much, much faster.

  • HDV project in CS3 refuses to make preview

    Producing a set of 4 x 75 secs modules. Each require a lot of clever stuff so AFX  CS3 is required. The difference is I'm working in 1080 25i HDV instead of SD.
    Imported off line edit from Prem Pro CS3 as usual and all seems fine (apart from the inordinate amout of time it takes to load up). It's when I go to do a short preview test that it all comes to a halt. On one occassion it offered a window saying something about Adobe: Dynamic Link...something or other. I forgot to make a note and that notice hasn't appeared since.
    While it isn't rendering a preview, the whole thing freezes up, but after 10 minutes it unfreezes and I can work again, but not make previews.
    I tried making a Movie of the same preview work area to see what happens and all is fine.
    Interestingly, because of this problem I started another HDV sub-project to just make a few of the Fast Mo backgrounds. The preview worked fine with this. Might it be because I have so much footage loaded up as part of the main project?
    I have 4gig RAM, Quad processors, but the project is on an out-board HDD.
    Any thoughts?

    A combination of circumstances, most likely. MPEG-derivatives get indexed/ conformed for use in Adobe programs, so the following things can happen:
    a) The MediaCache directories get full over time. Therefore
    b) Looking up the proper conform fiel for a clip may take very long. Plus
    c) If you did not change it, the conforms will be inside a sub-folder of your My Files folder, which as a system folder is already very busy.
    Those 3 alone could already be enough. In addition, importing from Premiere would also include any conforms created there, which is the whole intention of the system, of course, but in your case may pose a disadvantage. There could be "tainted" parts from no longer valid clips and rendered snippets. So to cut a long story short: flushing the MediaCache and haven AE re-scan everything may solve the issue. I will not rule out, though, that the sheer number of clips could expose some sort of memory leak, so working with reduced project may of course be the only way out then...

  • PP Hangs When Moving Between Timelines

    I posted this question earlier so here is some more info so hopefully someone can tell me what is going wrong.
    I am working on a project that is going to be on youtube in HD. I have several AE animations that are rendered as .mov (Apple Pro ResHQ). I have about 30 -40 pieces of narration in .wav format (done in soundbooth). The problem is that when I move from the main sequence timeline to the preview timeline, when I want to cut a piece of audio and insert it, the system hangs for about 4 seconds and then I can continue. I have noticed that it only stalls if I touch the timeline scrubber. i can insert the audio into the timeline, and even move it around, but once I grab the scrubber the thing locks for a few seconds, then if I go up and grab the scrubber on the preview window it does the same thing. The project settings are HDV at 24fps.
    This does not happen when I am working on an SD project at all, and my Mac is plenty powerful enough to edit this.
    Here is my specs
    Mac Pro (Mid 2009)
    16GB Ram
    640GB Hard Drive (450GB Free)
    1TB 7200rpm Hd (599GB Free)
    Nvidia Gt 120
    Preimere Pro (latest version with update)

    Luke,
    There's a couple of things I might ask.
    the HDV - is it Adobe HDV or Apple HDV?  Final Cut Pro captures a different kind of HDV and is a different codec.  It's a weird little thing that a lot of people don't know about.  If so, you might want to check out how to make a custom preset in Premiere Pro.  The super short version is go to a 'desktop' mode in the settings and choose the Apple HDV codec.
    You say the latest version, but unless someone says CS4, I don't know it.  Can you please confirm that it is CS4?  The reason why this is important is that you state that you have 16GB of RAM which is fabulous.  Unfortunately, unless you're using CS4, Premiere Pro won't see it.
    Typical things to try is to clean your database cache (in media prefs) and trash your Premiere Pro prefs (user>documents>Adobe>Premiere Pro>4.0)
    Hope this helps,
    Dennis

  • Project settings question from a dummy

    After editing nothing but DV in Premier for the better part of a decade I'm moving into the world of HDV, which creates a myriad of questions. But I'll pose only one.
    I've shot all the footage for the project in 1080i on my XH A1. I want the edited project output in Flash in 720p at 24fps for Web distribution. What should my PP settings be? HDV 1080i 30fps? HDV 720p 24fps? I guess a more macro version of the question is, should the project settings match the source footage or the output format?
    Any insights or guidance would be appreciated.
    Tripp

    Craig's rule is the one we've always tried to use in my job. Maintain the source content's settings for as long as possible, as uncompressed as possible, holding onto as much picture information as you can, then compress to your final output settings.
    For one thing, there's no benefit in changing the source content at ingest to suit export when it's possible you may be asked to;
    a) export to a new, different setting than the one originally scoped.
    b) export additional output files to different settings for other output requirements (iPods, IPTV, etc).

  • 720 24p FCP Settings

    I just shot a film using the JVC GY-HD110. It shoots on HDV 720 24p miniDV tapes. I am about ready to capture and I wanted to make sure I had my setting right.
    Seq: HDV-720p24 (23.98fps)
    Capture: HDV-Apple ProRes 422
    Device Control: HDV Firewire 24fps (I created this setting and changed the FPS to 23.98)
    Are these correct? Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

    Be careful Chris. That workflow has some problems with later versions of FCS. Read the below post before you capture...

  • Digitizing native 24P experience?

    We are curious about people's experience with FCut Studio 2 and native 24P. The camera is a JVC GY-HD110 and the director has shot everything at HDV 720p, 24fps. I am going to be digitizing about 100 hours of footage on to an external 2 terabyte drive.
    Do I need anything special aside from the latest version of Final Cut? Anything to watch out for? Thanks!

    I have tons of native 24p editing, but not with JVC or HDV, but with Panasonic P2 cameras.
    FYI, HDV cameras do not shoot NATIVE 24fps...they shoot 29.97 with pulldown to get you to 23.98. So make sure that you either remove the pulldown as you capture (look at the Easy Setups) or after you capture (Cinema Tools option in FCP).
    24p monitoring with P2 needed to be done at 720p 59.94, because that is the DVCPRO HD format. Viewing at 24fps was flickery and aweful. Not sure how you do this with HDV...might just use the 720p 29.97 setting. BUt to view HDV on an external monitor you do need a High Def capture card.

  • What is the best compression format for 1440 x 1080 24fps 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.

    Your master should be exported as QT movie (not compression) keeping same settings and self-contained checked (No loss of quality is involved, the result is a perfect copy of each frame from your original media).
    Any other conversion will involve compression then potential loss of quality.
    That master will play fine on your machine but don't expect it to play on PCs.
    However, you can send it to tape or take the exported self-contained file to a post house for DigiBeta or other transfer if you need screening copies of your video.
    For the web H.264 is a great choice, amazing quality and fairly small file size with proper settings.

  • PE7 HDV Preset for 24FPS

    In PE7, what is the best preset for editng footage shot in HDV, 24 FPS? I used the existing HDV preset at 30 frames, but when I bring the footage to the timeline, I need to render it, and it lags even after rendering. Any suggestions?
    Thanks, Stan

    Hi Steve, yes, miniDV tape it is. I am shooting on a Canon XH-A1. My camera preset is HDV-24fps. I usually always shoot 60i with this cam. But I thought I would try the 24 setting. It looks fabulous. BTW, I rendered it out to a .wmv 720P file and it plays perfectly and looks awesome. But I worry about doing more in 24 because of the way my PE7 handles it.
    Thanks, Stan

  • HDV 24fps

    Canon has introduced a consumer HDV camcorder - HV-20, which can capture at 24p. Can I use iMovie 6 to edit? I understand that iMovie doesn't support 24p - so, is there a workaround, and what are the consequences? Final Cut Studio is not an option, due to price and learning curve.
    iMac 20" 2.16GHz Core2Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    My understanding is that this camera captures at 24fps and introduces a 2:3 "pull-down" just like the Panasonic DVX 100 (or a film transfer). ie: a "Normal" 2:3 not the advanced pull-down which is designed for 24P post.
    So. . .
    You "should" be able to edit this in iMovie HD as a 60i (US 30fps interlaced video) HDV2 project.
    It can play back the various Canon XLH1, A1, G1 framerates, of course iMovie won't support anything from these except 60i.
    The HV20 also offers a Cinema"tone" setting also, for a more "film-like" gamma curve and appropriate chroma settings which can be used independently from the 24P.
    If you want/need the 24P motion for a short film it should do a good job, infact it might actually help make the MPeg2 compression more efficient since it would have fewer samples per second to deal with.
    I'll just add that the perception of the projects I shoot with my DVX100 @ 24P (w/Cinelike Gamma and Matrix) is always rewarding.
    I'm probably picking up one of these for home-movies just to "future proof" them. Even tho' I expect to be shooting work for hire on my DVX for some time yet.

  • Best workflow for HDV 1080/60i/24pA with FCP 5.1.4

    I've spent hours trying to find the answer to this specific problem on the discussion forums as well as the FCP user manuals and I can't find it, please help! I've got a Sony HVR-V1U and I recently recorded several hours of footage at 24pA. I would like to edit the footage in 24p, and preferably in a different codec besides HDV and definitely not in AIC. I don't have any experience with Cinema Tools and I can't seem to get any files directly from FCP to Cinema Tools no matter what I transcode the video to. Also, is there any way to transcode the video to ProRes because it is so much faster to render video in ProRes than in HDV.
    Thanks in advance!

    Removing pulldown is done during capture if you shot 24pa, and in Cinema tools if you shot 24p. However I don't think that camera shoots a version of 24p that works when you remove the pulldown pattern. I could be wrong, but as I recall, the 24fps video that the v1u shoots isn't exactly the same as that shot by say, a DV camera so might not work removing pulldown. Just looked at the specs at Sony on the camera... it does apparently shoot with a 2:3 pulldown, so after you capture, you might try Cinema tools for the removal. Never heard of anyone doing this with HDV though, so it might be pretty problematic.
    That said, you should be able to transcode to ProRes in Compressor, and it should look great. Don't use your computer display to judge the quality of the results though, use an external video monitor. Artifact may show up on the computer's display when it's really not in the video...

    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.

  • Problems in editing at 24fps

    I have a problem with working in 24fps editing mode. The problem consist in a very strange and until now irreparable flicker when I export and after that play on an external monitor of an Quicktime movie at 24fps.The flicker filters doesn't have effect. So I can't export a movie at 24 fps on tape and I can edit only viewing the sequence in the viewer window (not in the external monitor). How can I solve this problem. Thank you.

    Post more about your system. Which Mac? do you have a capture card involved? 24fps DV or HDV or HD or DVCPROHD? what's the format you're working with?

  • What to do with one 25i and one 25p file in same Timeline???

    Hey!
    I was bothering you with questions of how do I put 30p and 25i footage together, but things have changed. [i]HUNTREX and ANN BENS, thanx a bunch for your help)[/i]
    Canon released new Firmware for its 5D MkII camera, so I can shoot 25p and 24p... But now the problem is still there!
    Now I have Interlaced and Progressive footage to put together!!!!
    I also decided to get Cineform NEOSCENE which converts both MPEG-2 from my Sony FX-1 HDV camcorder and AVCHD (H.264) from Canon 5D into CINEFORM-AVI...
    So, to avoid mixing formats in codec part - I ended up with those AVIs!
    So for the first time yesterday I imported AVI-s made by NEOSCENE from both my FX-1 25fps (1080i) Sony camcorder and my 5D MkII 25fps progressive (1080p) into my PREMIERE PRO..
    Little difference in Contrast (Canon is better!!!) - but now I am left with NEW PROBLEM!!!
    I have, ergo, one Cineform-AVI, which is INTERLACED, and the other Cineform-AVI which is PROGRESSIVE (both 25 fps)...
    ]Which Preset to choose in PPRO?
    I tried with Sony's XDCAM EX 1080 25i preset - but then the Progressive material seems to have lot of flickering... Not to mention that both have YELLOW LINE above in Timeline - meaning it is not the Preset for those files, but it seems to be my best choice (regarding resolution and FPS)!
    ]Now, HOW TO HANDLE THOSE TWO FILES ON TIMELINE - One 25i, the other 25p?
    Do I deinterlace the 25i or do something else with 25p? How? Any Tricks?
    What would you do?
    And what preset would you use????
    Hope you'll be able to help me with this one!:)
    V.

    Hello again!
    If it were me, I would deinterlace the 25i footage and keep the project progressive. But it does really depend on what your final output requires.
    Little difference in Contrast (Canon is better!!!)
    Try using Premiere's color correction tools (fast color corrector, curves, etc.) for that.
    I tried with Sony's XDCAM EX 1080 25i preset - but then
    the Progressive material seems to have lot of flickering.
    Did you try interlacing the footage (Right click on clip, select "field options", and check "interlace consecutive frames")?
