50i and 50p footage in one Event?!

I’m doing a wedding on Friday. Last minute thing as their official personal pulled out.
Have obtained two Canon XA10s that record in 24p or 50i (New Zealand). Will most likely do 50i.
Have also obtained a GoPro Hero3 for some random shots and to have a bit of a play.
I can record GoPro at 1080/50p (or many other options) and the Canon’s will be 1080i….
When I have all the footage, what is the best way to import the footage onto an Event on FCPX. What kind of event settings should I be using and do I have to do anything special?
Many thanks,
Steve

Okay, so have now shot the wedding footage. probably about 3 hours of HD footage on two cameras.
I am now having to hire a mac to install my version of FCPX onto as my current mac no longer handles it.
I have been offered the following Mac at a decent rate.... For the editing of the HD footage, will this mac support FCPX and not be tooooo slow with rendering etc... ?!
13" MacBook Pro Dual Core 2.7GHz i7, 4GB, 500GB model A1278
Many thanks,
Steve

I have an haked GH2 Camera and an Sony CX730. Both record AVCHD as MTS files. I can import in Finalcut X 25p files but FCP would not import 50i and 50p
Files from both cameras.
Can some one tell me why it is so?

Mixing Full HD 50i and 50P

Hi all,
I have two Sony full HD camcorders: my new one will do 50p whilst my old one with only do 50i (UK Pal for info). Just wondering, if you were doing a multi-camera project would you film in 50i and 50p or both in 50i?
Also, what are the ramifications of editing mixed formats? I'm using Premiere Pro CS6.
Thanks in advance, Richard

For multicam projects, I always prefer to shoot everything the same.

Detect Key Press and Mouse Motion in ONE event?

Hi
I am trying to create a functionality where a mouse motion from left to right performs one action, and the same motion while a given key is pressed performs another action.
How can i combine the two events? How do I unify the KeyEvent and MouseEvent, particulary when I need to capture the directional motion of the mouse together with the key press?
many thanks for any insight

you cannot actualy combine them into 1 event but there is an easy way around this:boolean mouseKeyPressed = false;
public void keyPressed (KeyEvent e)
if (e.getKeyCode () == ??) \\ or e.isCtrlDown(), e.isAltDown(), ...
    mouseKeyPressed = true;
public void keyReleased (KeyEvent e)
if (e.getKeyCode () == ??) \\ or !e.isCtrlDown(), !e.isAltDown(), ...
    mouseKeyPressed = false;
public void mouseMoved (MouseEvent e)
if (mouseKeyPressed)
    //processAction
}hope this helps,

How do I copy and paste pics from one event to another in iPhoto?

I'm trying to copy and paste in iPhoto, but every time I get to the paste part nothing happens. The word "paste" even appears on the screen, but it's grayed out. Any suggestions?

Hi Mel,
From the picture in your post, it seems that you are using SharePoint 2010 workflow platform.
If that is the case, I recommend to use Copy List Item action to copy the current item to other lists instead.
If you still want to use Create List Item action, could you please provide more details about the two steps in your workflow:
I am not sure why you need to set the workflow variable to get the ID in the Checklist2.
Best regards.

How can i copy multiple projects that reference one event without having to duplicate the event over and over for each project?

Each project has compound and regular media in them, and every time i attempt to duplicate the projects and have them reference one event on the new drive the rest of my media shows up missing and will not reconect. Wondering if anyone has had to tackle this problem. I have a limited amount of space on my Drobo thunderbolt drives and need to optomize it. Thank you

So i called apple and after a few hours on the phone and them taking control of my computer they pretty much told me they had never seen this before and were sorry they couldnt assist in any way. The long explination is that i work for a company that films their footage in one long take and then sends it to me to cut into segments, i then have to copy these small edits which are all in different projects and the one large event over to a new hard drive to give to a guy to put titles on and then send back to the company. when i do this copy of project final cut X forces me to also duplicate the event leaving me with "event" (fcp1) and so on depending on how many projects there are. When i dont duplicate event and project together the whole project shows up as missing media and final cut X does not recognize that the original footage is being lost and therefor i am not even given the oportunity to reconect media. I have tried all conventional ways of copying and transfering and have an extensive background in editing and have never come across this, but then again this is final cut X and something that i try and stray away from if i have a choice in systems.
to answer Tony im using copy project and event because it is the only option that works (copy project and used media works as well but only creates more confusion with having to rename files) I would prefer to be able to just copy the first project and event and then be able to source the rest of the project files from the first event i copied over.

I have several pics of my new grandson throughout the year. How do I combine them into one event

I have several pics of my new grandson throughout the year. How do I combine them into one event

You can drag and drop photos from one Event to another. Or you can flag them and use the Events: Add Flagged photos to Select Event.
However, why not use an Album for the job?

How can I create 50p footage from 50i in Premiere or After FX?

Hi,
I'm trying to create 50p footage from 50i. Not 25p! I want to create 50p footage through a process that it is used in 100 HZ LCD TV sets
This is the idea. If you have 50i footage you can easily interpolate fields and get a 25p footage. Fine.
But I would like not to do a simple interpolation.
Let's say I have two 50i frames. I want to create a frame between the two made with the lower field of the first one and the upper field from the second one . This is the process used by 100 Hz LCD monitors that can actually invent non-existent frames by this method.
But Premiere doesn't work this way.
If you try to export a 50i footage to 50p what you get is 50p footage with identical frames at twos (1=2, 3=4, etc..)
You can try a slightly different approach.
You can slow down 50% the 50i footage (and then speed it up again). This forces Premiere to interpolate and create an extra frame but.. here is the problem.. Premiere "thinks in frames".. and interpolates a totally new interlaced frame. This frame, coming from interpolation, is actually a "fake" frame Comes from nowhere and so it has much less definition then the originals (the one before and the one afterwards). If then you render, speed up at 200% and watch the result what you see is a good frame, a blurred frame, a good frame, a blurred frame, etc..
Does anybody know a method of getting out 50 real interlaced or progressive frames with this composition?
INTERLACED (100i): 1U1L 1L2U 2U2L 2L3U 3U3L
PROGRESSIVE 50p): (1U1L) (1L2U) (2U2L) (2L3U) (3U3L) .... That is exactly as interlaced but with the two fields interpolated
Also please note that this method applied on an edited movie creates smooth transitions at cuts (a frame that has 1 field from the scene before and one form the scene after).
thanks,
Marcello

I would do this outside of Premiere.
Here's a thread to pull.

Can I switch calendars (Ex. "night shift" to "day shift" cal) with a repeating event, but ONLY for that one event?? It asks "for all events or only this event" if i change the time. But it changes ALL events when i try and switch calendars. Any help??

I have 2 calendars set up for my work schedule, a "night shift" and "day shift" calendar. I've set up repeating events fro Fri/Sat/Sun 3-11pm "night shifts" and Mon/Tues 7am-3pm "day shifts". But lets say for example that I swap shifts and instead of working nights on Saturday like I normally would, I am now working days. I want to change that in my calendar. When I go to change the event, if i change the TIME it asks if i want to change all event or ONLY this event. no problem....just this single event. but when i go to change the event from the "night shift" calendar to the "day shift" calendar, it changes ALL the repeating events, and not just that one single event. can anyone help with this??? am i doing something wrong? is there a way to do this or not with the new iCal program??? i used to do this and never had any problems. Thank you!

You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
Exactly what you you trying to do?

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

No. When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library. Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications. You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

How can you take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in.

As the title says I need help on how to take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in. Right now when I want to move a picture from one event to another I drag it to my desktop then delete it from iPhoto then I drag it back into iPhoto and put where I want it.An example would be taking a photo from the Christmas event and add it to a specific person event. Can I do that within the events section without all the dragging. Also is there anyway I can remove duplicates from iPhoto without going through each and every file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want. However, here's how I do it.
Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.

Multiple all-day events and one event disappears.

I have multiple all-day events (in different calendars) and now sometimes (not always) one event won't show in iCal. It's still there cause it's now "....." instead of the name of the event.
The old multiple all-day events show perfect but when I try to add another multiple all-day event now, it will only show one all-day event. It will show as maybe timed event as I wish but only one all-day event.
I don't get why this has happened cause I have not changed anything from before except for maybe timezone.
Any ideas?
Thank you

It seems that iCal only displays 5 all-day events, even if you have plenty of room in the calendar window. Change them to timed events and you can see more. Very annoying. I'd like to find a way to change that.

Cannot start widget - Ensure that SAP Business One Integration Service and SAP Business One Event Sender Service have been started

Dear Experts .
I'm trying to enable widget for my company db but getting the following error :
Ensure that SAP Business One Integration Service and SAP Business One Event Sender Service have been started; then wait 1 minute and try again
I can connect to the B1iF locally and remotely .
I have the db configured in the SLD and connects successfully .
I have the event sender service and proxy started and configured for the company db.
I can access the Dashboard web portal and login with database sap credentials (but I see nothing there)
I've checked that there are no duplicate entries in the SSLD table for SBO common (note : 1619422)
I've also tried to re-activate the xelcious from the B1iF->control.
My Setup :
I'm runing SBO server, B1iF installed locally and B1iSN installed on a 3rd party server.
I'm using B1iF as even forwarder for B1iSN.
I know this has been discussed many times through out the forum and I've tried most of the stuff other than clean install.
I would appreciate any input before removing B1iF completely and re-installing.
Thanks in advance ,
Nadav.

Editing SD and HD footage together in one project in FCE

I have both SD and HD footage that I have imported (in addition to still shots) into a project, which is now ready to edit in FCE. This is my wedding video and I would love to avoid as many problems as possible before I get too far down the road in editing. Is there anything I should know about combining the SD and HD footage in FCE? Are there certain settings that I should check before editing? I am concerned about aspect ratios and how that might ultimately skew the picture when burned to a DVD. Any basic guidelines that you could provide would be very helpful. Thanks!

This is great information, thank you. After reading the responses, (and doing some additional research) I think I'll try create a shortened version of the video using only the HD footage and share via youtube and/or vimeo. I would also like to produce a longer video (under 1 hour) that includes both my DV and HD footage and burn that DVD for a few people. Given that I will be burning this to DVD, it seems that I should downsize the HD footage before editing to have it all at the DV level for one sequence in my FCE project. I have two questions for creating this longer video with the output to DVD:
1) How to downsize the HD footage: there seems to be several suggestions for this process, so I was wondering which is the most effective (and least time consuming). Please note that I have already loaded all the clips (DV and HD clips) and still photos into a new project, which took some time. I hope to be able to leverage that effort in some way (so I don't have to start from scratch again).
     a) Convert the HD footage using Streamclip before bringing it into the project
     b) Select the HD clips and export using Quicktime Conversion, select the DV codec, and resize for DV aspect ratio pixels (either 720 x 365 to match 4:3 DV aspect ratio, or 720 x 405 to match the 16:9 DV aspect ratio)
     c) Put all the HD clips in the project and do a batch export to DV
     d) Create a DV sequence in FCE and drag all HD clips to the timeline, which will automatically downsize them and will then require rendering
     e) Create a DV sequence in FCE and drag all HD clips to the timeline, then highlight all the HD clips, go to Modify > Fit to Sequence, which should resize it to match the sequence settings
     f) Resize the HD footage using a 3rd party app called Compressor before bringing it into the project
2) Do I still need to crop the footage even after downsizing the HD footage? I assume that "crop" means that the image will stil be too big for the DV level editing, so part of the image will not fit, so I will need to scale it (or something like that). Is that right? It seems very labor intensive to do that for every clip, hopefully this is not the case.
Thank you for your help!
