50fps conform with Panasonic SD700

I have a Panasonic SD700 which shoots at 50p and I use a lot for ski footage in slowmo, this works great.
With FCP 7 I would import the footage, convert to prores 422 and use Cinema tools to conform to 50fps.
When I now import to FCPX it seems to want to match it pack to the project rate of 25. I can Modify - Retime - 50% but I'm not sure as to what FCPX has done with the original 50P footage, has it just left it as is or applied frame blending or optical flow.
I would hope it has just left the 50fps as is, this footage looks great in its raw conformed state. This is why I got the camera.
As for import - hopefully Panasonic or somebody will bring out a plug-in to deal with this in a more direct way.

Reviving this old thread as I have the same issue - although I now think it may be a non-issue.  In FCP7 I was very used to sending 50p clips to Cinema Tools to reconform to 25fps and get very smooth slowmo.  I expected the same in FCPX but better - given that reconform is now built-in.  However, it doesn't appear to do anything (as this thread says).  So far so bad - until you look at 50p (or 60p) footage slowed down to 50%.  It's just as smooth as I ever got with the CT reconform approach, and in fact it seems to be identical.  I've tried reconforming a clip in CT and then watching the same clip (unreconformed) in FCPX slowed down to 50%.  There's zero difference to my eyes.

  • Panasonic SD700 Camcorder compatibility with iMovieHD

    I am considering the purchase of a Panasonic SD700 Camcorder not just for the reported image quality but because it has sockets for an external mike and headset. My only remaining doubt is its compatibility with iMovieHD. Is is simply a case of transferring the SD card from the camcorder to my Mac or does the camcorder output have to be converted into an iMovieHD-compatible format? Help would be appreciated. Regards.

    There have been a number of responses to my initial query but none seems to address it directly. I have both iMovie 09 and iMovie HD. The Panasonic model in which I am interested is the SD700 which only uses SD cards. I want to buy the most compatible camera possible to use with either of the above applications. I am trying to avoid having to do conversions to another format before I can edit. I am a newcomer to video & camcorders trying to avoid an expensive purchasing error. Further guidance would be appreciated and thanks to those who have contributed so far. Victor

  • Panasonic SD700 - Best output??

    Im recording video on my Panasonic SD700, which I import into FCE using Log and Transfer.
    When I export to Quicktime, the resulting video is either of a poor quality (jagged edges as the camera moves around etc), or the frame rate drops so panning is not smooth.
    What are the best output settings, assuming I want to ultimately get my video onto DVD???

    Before exporting make sure you have rendered everything.
    I often have need to experiment with different settings and see the results quickly on DVD so I keep a few DVD±RWs handy that I can re-use hundreds of times, which saves wasting DVDs.
    My tests are usually no more than a minute long, using typical problematic footage eg. action rather than static shots.
    These mini-projects take only minutes to prepare plus a few more minutes to burn to DVD.
    You can get 10 DVD-RWs for £4.80 delivered to your door from here:-

    That'll keep you in business for the next decade.

  • Will Airport Extreme Network with Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30

    Will Airport Extreme Network work properly with Panasonic Viera TC-P50ST30 HDTV?

  • Problem with Panasonic P2

    I am new to this forum and hope someone can help me.
    I shot video by Panasonic AG-HVX203 to shoot video in DVCPRO HD (1080/50i) format.  This is PAL format.  Video is stored in P2 card.  And then I import the MXF files to the timeline of Premiere CS4.  After edited, by the Dynamic Link sent to Encore which Project Preset is PAL 1440x1080 25.
    With Encore, transcode the video with 1440x1080 25 Maximun Quality.  And then Build "Blu Ray Disc Image".  Finally, burn this Disc Image file to Blu Ray disc.
    Play back this disc with Panasonic Blu Ray player BUT find out that the video resolution is 576p!!
    I checked my workflow and tried many times to build different Disc Images.  But all blu ray disc is played back only with 576p quality.
    I want to create a blu ray disc with 1080i quality.  What did I do wronly in my wrokflow?  Could you help?

    1.  Try encoding to Blu-Ray  (mpg2 or H.264) from Premiere using your 50i settings.
    2. Check the file after encoding to be sure it is 1440x1080 50i.
    3. Then start Encore and create a new HD project. Check under FILE, PROJECT SETTINGS that you have Blu-Ray selected with PAL 1440x1080 50i.
    4. Next import the Blu-Ray files you exported from Premiere into Encore.
    5. Burn your Blu-ray disk.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hi. Quick question I am working with Panasonic GH3 footage and it is playing back in slow motion?

    Hi. Quick question I am working with Panasonic GH3 footage shot using .MOV wrapper with their IPB 50mbps and All-Intra 72MBPS codecs and they are playing back in slow motion in Sg CC. The footage works fine in PP CC and I have no clue on how to fix it. Is this a bug or do I a have a setting wrong some place?

    Yes it turns red this is silly PP and AE have no problem with playback for these codecs. So it is indeed Sg not handling the codec correctly and not my system?
    What if I transcoded it to something else other than the previous what would you reccommend?
    I was going to transcode to ProRes but 5DtoRGB does not work on Windows with GH3 codecs.
    What is the correct time warp seting under clip properties? I screwed with it and forgot the default setting.
    Is there a way to reset Sg back to defaults settings globaly. I tried to many settings trying to fix the playback and may have left something in the wrong state.
    Thanks...

  • Green tint in RAW previews with Panasonic

    I upgraded Aperture to 3.3. Previously I used the terminal "iregister"command to fix the green tint problem with Aperture and my RAW images with Panasonic GF3. The problem came back after the update and the terminal fix does not work now. I also tried regenerating previews without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Raphael, you got me there
    The lsregister fix is a puzzle to me as well - what Frank Caggiano probably would call woodoo and waving a dead chicken over the computer. But sometimes it magically seems to work. It can help, if the latest raw support is installed, but the system cannot find it for specific media kinds. The lsregister command indexes the database of supported media types know to the operating system (launchservices.db).  This fix has originally been posted by Alan Roseman:
    Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command (there is no blank in "LaunchServices.framework" - but it is impossible t post such a long line here)
    In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the  follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -R /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library

  • Lync 2013 with SIP trunk with panasonic kx-tde200

    Hi
    My company has installed a panasonic ip-pbx kx-tde for multiline with 100 number range for telephone service.
    Now my company is going to replace multiline by sip trunk . It will still work with Panasonic pbx box just need to reprogramme to be able to connected to the sip proxy which is managed by internet service provider.
    For this scenario , would Lync 2013 voice work if I just add PSTN gateway which is the ip of panasonic pbx address to the frontend in topology ? Or I may need a mediation server as a must requirement  to make lync voice work?
    Thanks
    WenFei

    Media bypass allow a call to basically skip the mediation server once it's established and go directly from gateway (in this case the PBX) and the endpoint (the telephone handset or Lync client) More information here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398719.aspx 
    By having this (if your PBX supports it) you reduce the load on the mediation servers. Before you go too far down the road also make sure that your PBX supports SIP trunks that are SIP over TCP (as Lync doesn't work with SIP over UDP)
    Sort of, the easiest way is to add the .com as an additional SIP domain in Topology builder, you will need to create DNS records for it (both internal and external) and you will need to reissue the certs with additional SANs to support the second domain.
    YOu will also need to update all the users to use the new suffix of xxx.com. So it's not a small task.

  • Photo Booth with Panasonic NV-GS25

    How to connect iSight with Panasonic NV-GS25?
    I don't see any option to select either iSight or NV-GS25. I am able to record thro NV-GS25 directly into the Mac by using iMovie. I just wish to try the same with iSight as it is indicated in the help manual, but I don't any further details on how to go about doing it.
    While using iChat, then I guess NV-GS25 can be connected to the video chat instead of iSight.
    thanks
    regards

    thanks for your feedback.
    i am a bit hesitant as i am not quite familiar with applescript. i was worried that once running the applescript, it may be struck up in not knowing how to enable the iSight again, though the procedure for the same is given there.
    just being over cautious, after disabling the iSight through the applescript, where will i have the option to select the external firewire panasonic NV-GS25? I wish it would have been better, if there was a drop down menu select item similar to iMovie where we can select iSight or the connected firewire Panasonic.

  • Macs and file sharing with Panasonic Lumix TS5

    I'm trying to set up this camera to send my photos wirelessly to my IMAC but have hit a brick wall.  The instructions with the camera state wifi sharing is supported with OS X 10.4 to 10.8, and I am running 10.75.  The instructions are simple: find the file and enable sharing.  I've completed all the steps, and my camera finds my Imac fine, but then cannot find the shared folder.
    I researched this and found that for a different Panasonic camera, despite what panasonic says, file sharing did not work for mac only environments. (http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3360154). I have contacted panasonic, and am beginning to believe the this is true for my camera as well.  I explained my problem and she first recommended to sign up for a lumix account.  Then it went from here:
    Kerry-Ann W.: In the setup it states where a lumix club account is required to send images to lumix club cloud
    Dave: Ok, do I understand correctly that I needed a lumix club account to transfer images wirelessly to my IMAC?
    Kerry-Ann W.: No I am not saying that. There is some sharing settings that needs to be set on your computer. We recommend that you contact apple so they can assist you in adjusting those settings.
    Dave: Ok, I've signed up for a lumix club account. Will that help me transfer my images to the mac?
    Kerry-Ann W.: We recommend that you contact apple so they can assist you in adjusting the sharing settings on your IMAC.
    Dave: Kerry-Ann, please help me. I've done exactly what the Lumix manual tells me to do with my mac and it's not working. You are supposed to help when the manual doesn't suffice. Isn't there any tips you can give me to try and make this work?
    Kerry-Ann W.: That is correct and based on checks done if it is not seeing your folders that means there needs to be some settings done on your computer for it to see the folders and if that is not done then you will not be able to see the folders.
    Dave: Ok, so will you help me get those settings done on my computer?
    Kerry-Ann W.: We recommend that you contact apple so they can assist you in adjusting those settings.
    I have no idea what settings she is referring to, and she offered no guidance at all.  Has anyone had any success file sharing with panasonic cameras?  Or has anyone else concluded this is hopeless?
    Thank you,
    Dave

    I have run through 2 of these cameras (1st one died-Epic Panasonic Fail) and I'm stoked I found the easy fix. No thanks to PaniCsonic.
    Connect your camera via USB to your MacBook. Don't worry that it won't show.
    Go to System Preferences under the 'Apple' icon (top left corner for any newbies)
    Select the 'Sharing' tab/folder (should be yellow diamond with a person walking to YOUR left direction)
    Select 'Internet Sharing'
    A sub menu 'To computers using' will open up to the right with 3 boxes/options:
    1) Firewire
    2) Ethernet
    3) Bluetooth PAN
    Select Bluetooth PAN box so it check marks as selected.
    Click the 'Internet Sharing' box.
    Select 'Start' when the prompt asks if you are sure you want to turn on Internet sharing.
    The 'Internet Sharing' box will then select.
    Your camera will then prompt you to select a USB mode. Select 'PC'.
    Wait through the access mode and VOILA, your photos will be uploaded straight to iPhoto as they should do in the first place.
    I like the camera for it's simplistic functionality. I had a slick Olympus underwater that had the same features, but was more time in navigating through them all. I don't like PaniCsonic for their poor foresight in making this camera an austosetup feature for Mac users. My iPhone didn't like it much either.
    Nonethless, there's the fix. For/from me.

  • Mac mini HDMI 1080p SUCCESS with Panasonic 50" TH-50PZ81B

    I recently purchased a Panasonic TH-50PZ81B. This is a UK model with a built-in satellite ("Freesat") receiver, and displays full 1080p and uses a 1920 x 1080 native panel. I used to connect my Mac mini HTPC to a Sony 42" plasma by VGA, and the Panasonic has a VGA input which displays 1,368 x 768 out of the box - no SwitchResX. It's decent. But, I wanted the "full" 1080p so bought the Belkin DVI-HDMI cable. Like a lot of people I got the choice of either the big black bars all around, or enabling "overscan" in Displays which would fill the screen, but, well, overscan! I spent all morning playing with SwitchResX and it just wasn't working (and the instructions at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=751713 bothered me in that it seems to suggest you need to increase the resolution so it wouldn't be 1:1 pixel mapping). I tried to look at the service menu but it wasn't obvious what to do so I left it alone, and there is no manual picture adjustment like there was on my old Sony. Urgh.
    But, by chance I noticed in the TV's Menu -> Settings menu on page 2 there is an option for Picture Overscan, which was turned on. I turned if off, and just like that got full 1080p 1:1 pixel mapping.
    So, that's Mac mini with overscan ON. Use the great (weird) advice from Adam Nash to enable the Display menu bar item as seen here:
    http://blog.adamnash.com/2008/01/24/yes-you-can-get-1080p-out-of-a-mac-mini/
    It works - you have two identical-looking outputs but your TV will tell you one is 1080i and the other is 1080p.
    On the TV settings go Menu -> Settings -> Picture Overscan and make sure it's OFF. Done!
    I don't know if other Panasonic screens are similar but I can tell from the frustration on other posts - which I shared, believe me - that there are a lot of people with this issue wondering why SwitchResX is so non-intuitive etc. so I am hoping that for all those people who know how to use Google, this will show up in their searches.

    I decided to post in the display forum because it was fine outputing via DVI-HDMI to a 1368*768 TV, and also fine via D-sub to the Full HD TV (although at 1368*768, but that's the limitation of the TV)
    But thanks for your advice. I'll post there as well

  • Problem Mac mini G4 with Panasonic 52" Plasma using s-video (composite)

    I am upgrading my mac mini but until then I'd like to watch some movies on my new Panasonic 50" Plasma (TH50PZ80U). The first I connected them together using a DVI-to S-Video adapter it worked but with low resolution (can't remember). The resolution was fine for movies but not reading. When I tried to increase the resolution the screen became all grey and black (like when there's no the TV channel in the old days). I tried all of the following but nothing has worked:
    1) Played with the mouse for an hour to try to change the resolution but kept starting new programs instead
    2) Connected to my apple display cinema, change resolution to the minimum, and then reconnected it and nothing
    3) Asked a friend to bring his laptop to do screen sharing but my OS 10.4.11 doesn't support this functionality
    4) Tried starting in safe mode and it won't start in safe mode. It gets stock on the gray apple screen at launch
    5) Tried getting an HDMI cable but this mac mini is not strong enough for the plasma screen. It kept going black after a few minutes
    6) Tried using keyword shortcuts with SwitchResX but I couldn't seem to find the right sequence.
    Remember that I tried to the above blind since the screen was all blurry.
    Can someone help. Thanks

    +I tried with an HDMI cble, through a DVI adapter, but it seems that my 1st generation mac mini is not powerful enough for that. It comes out at first but as soon as I start any application, it looses signal+
    I'll ask again; what happens if you try starting in Safe mode connected by HDMI? I understand that with a normal start and running 1080p, the mini is not necessarily stable. But if you start safe, or start normally, and quickly change the resolution to something lower than 1080p, the mini should be "powerful enough" to run the Panasonic at 720p for example. That should not present a problem.
    If you really just want to get back to using the S-Video interface at 640 x 480, you should be able to throw out the display preference files to get back to a clean start. That usually works. Try the following; in /Library/Preferences find the file com.apple.windowserver.plist and throw it in the trash or drag it to the desktop. Find also in /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost the file com.apple.windowserver.xxxxxxxx.plist where xxxxxxx is a string of letters and numbers and yourusername is the name on the main user account and throw that in the trash, too (or drag it to the Desktop). Then restart and see if function returns to S-Video when connected to the Panasonic.

  • Resolution jumps with Panasonic HDTV

    Since buying my Mac mini in December 09 I've been using a Panasonic HDTV (TX-L37G15B) as my monitor. With the Mini DisplayPort-DVI adaptor and then a DVI-HDMI cable into the TV everything was set up in perfect HD. The Mac detected the TV and chose 1080p without needing to adjust anything.
    Since the 2009 Aluminium Keyboard Firmware Update on 13/02/2010 my Mac will no longer hold it's resolution. Without warning it will jump to an alternate resolution but still show 1080p in the Display Settings.
    I can change the resolution to another and back to 1080p and it will hold for a short time and then once again jumps/stretches to the wrong size. Overscan is turned off and I've tried setting the resolution in Safe Mode with little affect.
    Would using the Mini DVI Port help matters?
    Any info would help, thanks,
    Chris

    Try a couple of troubleshooting things.
    Repair the Disk Permissions with Disk Utility in Apps/Utilities. Highlight your startup volume to the left and in the First Aid pane to the right press the Repair Permissions button.
    Reset PRAM. Restart your Mac with a wired USB keyboard attached and immediately press & hold the CommandOption+PR keys. After you hear a second startup chime release all of the keys and let the Mac start normally.

  • DVI to HDMI doesn't work with Panasonic Monitor

    Hi all,
    I have a Panasonic monitor, model TH-50PX75U that we've used with my Macbook Pro.  I have an DVI (large style) to HDMI cable that we connect the Macbook with, and it works fine.
    I also have a MacPro that I want to use this monitor with. It has 1 full size DVI display port and 2 mini display ports.  In the past I've used the DVI and one mini port to connect 2 monitors at once one the MacPro and it has worked fine.
    I tried  connecting the Panasonic monitor to use on my mid 2012 MacPro  but I never get a picture.  I reconnected one of the other monitors to a mini dispplay port and can see that the MacPro recognizes the Panasonic monitor.  Both monitors show up in the Display section under System Preferences.  I've tries various settings for the Panasionic monitor but I can never get anything to display on it.
    What am I missing here?  The MacPro is a mid 2012 with 3.2Gig Quad Core / 6 Gig ram / Radion 5770 graphic card, and runs ML 10.8.3.
    Any advise is appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Ray

    Ok, so I had time to do some testing and here's what I've done:
    I plugged in my Macbook which does work on the Pana monitor, and looked at the Profile.  I then compared it to the Profile on the Mac Pro.  There are some differences which I'm guessing have to do with different HW.  I'm going to include some photos of the working and not working monitor scenarios do you can see what I'm seeing. 
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make this work?
    Photo1: Shows the Macbook and the Pana monitor together using DVI to HDMI cable to connect the two.
    Photo2: Shows the display settings with the small monitor and Pana connected to Mac Pro.  Notice there are no numbers in the diplays. Mirroring them doesn't work either.  The small monitor is using a DVI to mini port adapter to connect to the graphics card, the Pana is using an HDMI to DVI cable (same one I used with the Macbook) to connect to the DVI port of the graphics card.
    Photo3: Both monitors are on.  The Mac Pro knows the Panasonic is there but I never get a display on it.
