Anamorphic Capture with Panasonic AG-DVX100a 16:9?

I shot in 24p with the Panasonic Anamorphic Lens. I'm going to capture in 29.97, but I'm not sure if I should capture in widescreen or not. I want my end result to be 16:9.
The Anamorphic lens squeezed everything and I want to open that up to widescreen. I'm just not sure If I should Capture in widescreen or just change my timeline setting to widescreen, or my easy setup?
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!
You'll need to capture with the anamorphic checkbox turned on... (however this can be turned on after capture too) then edit in an anamorphic sequence setting.
If you shot 24p then capture at 29:97 anamorphic. if you shot 24p advanced, then you have the option of removing the pulldown pattern when you capture, and also need to choose the anamorphic preset.
In the case of shooting 24p non advanced, you need to remove the pulldown in Cinema Tools after you capture at 29.97. However you don't have to really do this at all unless you print back to 24fps film.

  • CS4 Refuses to Capture with Panasonic PV DV953

    This is frustrating.
    Premiere 1.5 always worked. Microsoft movies still does. And I can use WinDV to capture and place files in CS4.
    The very first time I loaded the software, the capture worked just fine along with camera controls and setting IN and OUT points.
    Now, it no longer works. Have tried using Panasonic/PV DV951D as my device to no avail. The one time it worked, it was just set on 'Generic' device.
    Any advice? This is version 4.0.1 running on XP Pro SP2+ with 2GB RAM.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the notes...
    ...tried Project settings but they were correct as 'DV' for capture format. I'm going to replace the cable, clean the contacts etc. Unfortunately, since it works in other programs just fine, I doubt it's a hardware problem.

  • Anamorphic capture seems to be mis-sized in FCP

    Footage I've shot with my anamorphic-lens-fitted Panasonic AG-DVX100A and captured into FCP seems to be the wrong size, even though I make sure the "anamorphic" option is always selected. The underlying QT files end up at 640 x 480, though I think true anamorphic for this camera should be at 720 x 480, should it not? On my Apple 23" cinema display, they look great, but on any other monitor, including my Apple 17" and various PC monitors, the files look like they need to be stretched out horizontally.
    The output of my editing in FCP results in similarly compressed (horizontally) files, irrespective of whether I save them as QT movies, AVI files, or mpegs. The "16 x 9 anamorphic" box is always checked for my sequence presets, as it is for my "capture presets," and the boxes in the capture presets area show 720 x 480. In spite of this, everything I capture winds up at 640 x 480. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • Best video capture tool for Panasonic AG-DVX100A

    I'm trying to decide on the best video capture/ media converter tool for my Panasonic AG-DVX100A. The choice is between the Grass Valley ADVC 110 Media Converter and the BlackMagic Design Video Device for Mac OS10. Has anyone used either/both of these. What advantages do each have over the other? Thanks for your time and advice.

    Hi -
    The Grass Valley ADVC 110 Media Converter requirers firewire.
    I have and use the Blackmagic Video recorder which is USB based -
    http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/558914-REG/BlackmagicDesign_VIDREC_Video_Recorder_USBCapture.html
    BUT it converts the video to H.264 format which is a very difficult format to edit in. It is primarily designed to allow you to load video on to your computer for viewing, posting to you tube, or other very simple uses.
    If you intend to edit these files with iMovie, you might be able to get away with it (although importing the files will be slow), if you plan to edit with Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro you will need to convert them to an editable format.
    You might look at taking your camera somewhere to a facility that can properly capture the DV material on your Mini-DV tapes and put them on an external hard disk for you.
    Then you could plug in that disk on your computer and obtain access to the files that way.
    Hope this helps.

  • Strange Problem capturing with Apple Intermediate Codec

    We have the following problem:
    We capture with a blackmagic decklink studio card (but I could reproduce the same problem using a MacBook Pro and the internal camera) with a MacPro and CS4. When capturing a live video feed (1280x720) with the apple intermediate codec (set to 29.97fps or to 59.94fps) everything seems to work just fine. But the resulting videoclips happen to be exactly ONE half of the total capture time. So if we capture in Premiere for about 1 our the clip is only 30 minutes long. If we capture for 10 sec., the clip will be 5 sec. long. It's not that the captured clips play with double the framerate. Half of the actual footage is missing.
    Any suggestions?
    By the way: we live in a PAL50Hz country, but our video signal that needs to be recorded comes in as a 60hz signal.

    Hi,
    Well I did some googling...and I would bet that the problem is the 50hz vs 60hz...
    Unfortunately most if not all info I got that even BRUSHES on this subject with the sort of material you're dealing with is the opposite....where they are in 60cycle land with pal stuff....rather than in pal land dealing with 60hz ...
    This is a lot of misc stuff but if you get a little bit of info from various posts and make some notes you might be able to get an idea how to solve the problem...
    In particular I was looking at how frames are flagged and new frames are created later ...( toward very end of these posts - the last four or so )
    Also noted some timecode reading that was "doubled"....so if your deck thought you had a specific length and then it read the timecode doubled, it would be your problem in a nutshell...  have you checked the last frame you captured and compare that timecode to the overall length ??
    anyway, here is a TON of stuff to breeze through...good luck...
    THIS IS EDIUS RELATED..so keep in mind re: specific presets etc

    Hi chaps,
    Can I just confirm that the SDI/HDMI outputs are only live in build 14? I'm on 13 and going SDI - HDLINK - DELL24" gives me nothing. I'm in PAL land so have tried switching between 50hz and 59hz in camera.
    So do I need build 14 or is it something else?
    Cheers

    I'm in NTSC land but that same setup gives me picture just fine. Which Dell model is it? Is everything set up right from the camera side?

    Hi Steve,
    I believe so. Set to Preview in th viewfinder settings, plugged in on preview mini sdi, cam set to 50hz..
    Anything I'm missing?
    Cheers
    To counter this, the AJ-HD1400 offers two modes specifically for this called '25(SD)' and '25(HD)'. They output the 25fps signal with new timecode on a 50Hz carrier (only over SDI/Analogue the Firewire doesn't work in that mode).
    It only works with 25fps material too, any other 'offspeed' rate has to be dealt with separately with the deck operating in 59/60 mode.
    When operating in either of these 25 modes, the deck generates new 25fps timecode from the tape (although our tests have indicated that it is frame accurate of multiple playback passes).
    Basically, Varicam, while a very nice idea, has only ever been properly designed to work in a 60Hz environment. It is pretty much a nightmare in 50Hz environments.
    I think I may have found the cause of the problem.
    For some reason when I started my project it had a Device Control profile set to 720p50 (rather than the 1080i50 that the deck is operating in).
    What this seems to have done is double the frame number on any clip it encountered. So if I took a clip with in marked at 01:02:40:22 and dropped it in the Log and Capture tool the In Point that FCP decided to look for was 01:02:40:44 (which isn't going to exist on a 25fps timecode obviously).
    Since you are using Pal
    Go :
    Generic OHCI HD 50hz -> 960x720 25p over 60p
    Because if I am right you can't do Pal over 60hz but you can do PAL over 60P at 50hz.
    ( but I could be wrong)
    But the other problem is that you are using an ntsc profile to capture pal recorded footage.
    50 hz 960x720 over 60P yields a frame rate of 25 progressive
    60 hz 960x720 59.94p yields a frame rate of 59.94 progressive which is far from your original footage . Mostly used for countries using natively ntsc
    Neither myself, nor Ricksta (I don't think) are using NTSC-rate profiles.
    The Preset setting I've been testing with is:
    Generic OHCI HD 50Hz 960x720 25p over 60p
    Indeed, I've just tried what Rick mentioned, and with the deck in 59.94Hz operating frequency, I can capture with all three 720p 59/60 input settings. This is technically wrong however, as the tape has been recorded at 60Hz. But like I said before, until Rick hears from the big geeks at Panasonic about this, I don't know what the real outcome of that difference in frequency is.
    I've also tried a 50p over 60p project setting (as 720p50 is what I will be editing with in Avid) - but, predictably, this works but gives me double-speed footage. Which, while amusing, isn't a lot of help for me
    A large part of the problem I'm facing here is to do with the Varicam format. It will record any framerate from 1-60fps. It has to operate and a system-frequency of 59.94Hz or 60Hz. That is what Rick and I are referring to. The limitation I face is that the Varicam format is not widely supported for PAL-based rates (25/50) as it requires communication with a deck operating in an NTSC-based system frequency (either 60Hz or 59.94Hz). This difference (between project/timeline framerates, and deck operating frequencies) is enough to ensure that IEEE1394/Firewire/OHCI capture is not possible in these modes in Final Cut Pro, Avid (any version) or any other NLE I have found.
    We realise that the framerate and frequency we're working in has to be 50-based, and we're not making any mistakes in that respect.
    So far Edius is the only NLE on the market, that I have been able to find, that supports Firewire capture from 60Hz DVCPro HD material in a 50Hz based framerate.
    When you have captured the file in that project select a clip in the bin press alt+enter go to video info and tell me what the framerate is .
    In a 50p over 60p project, when I capture footage shot 25p over 60 with the 'Constant Rate' capture profile I get a clip in the bin that is 50fps, but that plays at doubletime - which is what I'd expect.
    I can change the framerate in the properties to 50fps, and it plays at the correct rate, but I'm not happy with the way to refactors the timing in that mode. It seems to create interpolated frames to fill the gaps, which provide an unusual appearance that I don't really like.
    At present if I capture into 25p over 60p project, then import the resulting 25p footage into Avid, Avid doubles up the frames to produce 50fps material.
    Some clarification here. The Varicam does indeed record at a constant 60fps. If the frame rate is set to 25fps for example it simply flags the active frames. This flag is carried in the vertical interval data. The reason for this system, is as suggested, it is very difficult to vary the speed of tape in a helical scan recording system. With the advent of solid state recording that Panasonic introduced in the AG-HVX200 it is now possible of course to only record the active (native) frames and this would be called 25pn for example.
    Originally with the Varicam you used to use a device called a Frame Rate Converter. This box contained a hard drive with HD-SDI I/O. It would recognize the active "flagged" frames in the incoming signal and buffer them through the hard drive and then play them out at the correct frame rate.
    More recently NLE's such as Avid, FCP and Edius have incorporated this flagged frame recognition and perform the extraction automatically. Thus when I tested a 25fps Varicam ingest on a 25 Frame timeline I am getting realtime playback. If I had recorded at 50fps and I placed that on a 25 frame timeline I would have very smooth half speed. Also the newer DVCPRO HD decks such as the AJ-HD1700 and AJ-HD1400 have the ability to decode "on-speed" frame rates such as 30fps, 25fps and 24fps.
    The issue that Dylan is facing is that the NLE's will not accept a firewire input at 60Hz, they only accept it at 59.94, this is a .001 frequency difference and should be negligible. The other alternative is to ingest via HD-SDI via a Black Magic or AJA Kona card etc. These boards also support the variable frame rate function.
    I hope that this helps clear things up a little.

    Further to what Rick is saying... The issues with most NLEs for PAL users is the disparity between the 59.94/60Hz operating frequency of the deck and the 50Hz based framerates the applications are working with in PAL framerates.
    As for the constant 60fps - it is indeed recording 60 images per second to a tape, but as I said before, only a certain number are unique - only the flagged frames. In 25fps, the camera samples the sensor 25 times a second and records that frame to tape. Essentially you get frame 1 recorded for 2 frames, frame 2 recorded for the next three frames, frame 3 recorded for 2 frames, etc... The first frame with each unique image is 'flagged'. To rebuild the recorded framerate, only the flagged images are captured.
    The big bonus of Edius for me here is that it can capture the PAL framerates from the 59.94Hz deck over Firewire directly. Something that Avid and FCP are unable to do.

  • Capture with QT import to Final Cut ?

    Capturing video from DVCAM deck with Quicktime 7 is a breeze- speedy and efficient - however trying to import the clips into Final Cut brings error messages ( frame rate etc ). Only way is to re export the moviefrom QT then re import into Final Cut taking valuable export time and negating the reason for doing this in the first place. Anyone any answers ? Also why is QT capturing with a variable frame rate ( not locked ? ) and can ANY application read these "captured" movies or are they just QT dependent ?
    Interested in any comments/solutions/workrounds?
    Thanks

    I tested it and Device Native with a DV feed gives an MOV with a DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 28 megabit track. It also stores a sound track which is PCM 16 bit 48KHz track. That's with a Hollywood Bridge converter.
    With an HDV camera doing HDV/DV, the track is the same type, but how the picture looks depends on the camera setting. It can either be letterboxed or anamorphic. Curiously the bit rate is different for the two, with letterbox being the usual 28 megabits, but the anamorphic is 21 megabits.
    In any case, QuickTime Player does an awesome job of recording native DV. However, sure enough FCP complains saying that it's a unknown file type. iMovie brings it in but has to convert it first.
    I'll ask the authorities about this...

    Hi,
    System takes only single excise invoice in system.
    here i suggest wat u can do ( very tricky)
    for first goods receipt excise invoice is 123
    then u cant give same for other GR it will give an error at this time u can provide excise invoice as (123.).
    Means one dot at beginnig or at the end.
    Note : Hence forth for same excise invoice u should have only one GR.

  • Excise Invoice is captured with another Purchase Order

    Hi
    We have a scenrio, transfer the material from debond plant to mfg plant after imported material in kept in Bonding area. STO po is raised to from imported plant to mfg plant with Imported duties as delivery costs.
    Bill of entry is provided for all the materials as one. While capturing the excise amount at line item level is difficult so, captured at first line item level as total because material is Same (Material is Split valuated materials with 3 batches). First GR is done properly but next GR for 2nd and 3 rd line items are refered with earlier Bill of entry, system promprts the error message "Excise Invoice is captured with another Purchase Order".
    Please do the needful.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Please be informed that for one a GR document wrt PO only one excise invoice can exist.
    Ex PO-4500000010
    GR no 5000000010
    only one excise can exist and if the same excise invoice is reffered to another GR with the same PO system will throw an error message. Please let me know the exact business requirement in detail.

  • I can capture with iMovie 6, but not with FCP 6.0 ('no data from device')

    I didn't have any problem with FCP 5, but am getting nowhere with FCP 6 using the same settings (I think). FCP seems to see the camcorder, but can't control it and, even if I manually start the camera, reports 'no data from device' when I do a 'Capture Now'. Device control isn't critical, but I'd sure like to find out why it doesn't see the data stream from the camera (Sony HDR-HC7 / FW400). I must be missing a setting some place, but sure can't find it. On the other hand, I have full device control and zero dropout capture with iMovie (exact same hardware configuration). Any ideas?

    maybe i used the canopus then to correct the timebase, i can't remember how i did it. but this would mean i have to accept loss of quality, since i have to connect the sony with s-vhs with the canopus and convert it.
    right now i'm importing a tape with imovie and will have a look how the result is, but as far as i remember, the audio has to be re-rendered when importing in fcpx…
    My finger is pointing to a Timecode issue.
    Is timecode enabled in the camera?
    Is it continuous on the tape?

  • 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.

  • Issues Capturing with Final Cut Express

    Hi
    I am currently having issues capturing with Final Cut Express. I am using a Firewire 800 gold speed cable 9pin/4pin with my Sony LSF-S58 camera. I use mini DV tapes and usually capture on other computers with no problems. However this time I am using Final Cut Express version 4.0.1 along with a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter so it'll connect with my MAC Book Pro (Operating system OS X 10.6.8). The issue is when I open Final Cut's capture option there is a message at the bottom that says "No Communicatin" I have tried various settings within easy set-up and nothing seems to work as well as browsing this help board along with others looking for the answer. Any help anyone can provide would be great. Thanks.

    When I Google LSF-S58, I get a Sony Lens Hood, not a camera. Are you recording in HD or SD?
    Have you used the Thunderbolt to Firewire convertor successfully on your computer with other devices?
    Have you used the Thunderbolt port successfully with other Thunderbolt devices?
    I don't know if this is applicable to your computer, but there is a Thunderbolt software update for 10.6.8 here:

  • Capture with Scene Detect: Clip Name Keeps Changing

    I am editing weddings and my raw footage is usually on 3 tapes. I capture with Scene Detect checked and I name the clip "Clip", so Premiere labels each clip as Clip 01, Clip 02, Clip 03, etc. But when I put in my 2nd tape, Premiere starts labelling them Clip 01 1, Clip 02 1, Clip 03 1, etc. How can I get Premiere to continue from the last number of the previous tape, (the same way that Scenalyzer does automatically)?

    How can I get Premiere to continue from the last number of the previous tape
    You can't.  Once you stop capture, PP will always restart the numbering, even if it's from the same tape.
    What I do is use Bridge to Batch Rename the clips.
