Black magic card a/v settings for capture??????????????????????

So I have a black magic intensity pro card. I am trying to use it with my JVC HDV 720p 60fps camcorder. I know I need to lower the setting to have it actually work without a ton of raid cards and so I have the "A/V Settings" set to:
Sequence preset: Black magic HDTV 720p 60 - Jpeg
Capture preset: Black magic HDTV 720p 60 - Jpeg
Device Control preset: Non-controlable device
Which is what everything I have read has said to do, but it refuses to work I get an error saying there is no video coming through the audio meeter does not even bounce in preview. It is not the cables I have tested both. What else could it be?

I also have the intensity settings in the mac system preferences set to y, r-y, b-y video & analog RCA Audio.
I am still stumped!

What is the BEST cable connection from Canopus ADVC 300 to Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card?

I must connect an ADVC 300 to a Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card. For best quality, which cable should I use?
On the ADVC 300 there are outputs of firewire, S-VHS and RCA.
On BMPro it's a little confusing. On the breakout cable there are connectors that say:
-5 B-Y OUT
-4 Y OUT
-3-R-Y OUT
-7-R-Y IN
-8-Y IN
-9 B-Y IN
-15 AUDIO IN RIGHT
-10 AES/EBU OUT
-12 AUDIO LEFT OUT
-14 AUDIO LEFT OUT
-13 AUDIO RIGHT OUT
With the BMPro, there is also a separate, shorter cable. On one end it looks like S-VHS and on the other there are two connectors, one black and one blue.
On the actual BMPro Express card strip instead of using the breakout cable, there is HDMI IN (and HDMI OUT).
How should I connect this? Is there an adapter cable of FIREWIRE TO HDMI?
Any help is much appreciated.

Well, when I researched how best to digitize VHS (into Final Cut Pro 7), I learned two of the best devices to use are BMPro and Canopus ADVC 300. I’m using the ADVC 300 for the built-in time base corrector. I definitely want to use that to stabilize the video. I also read how well BMPro improves image quality. So, I thought to use the two together must produce outstanding quality (well, as good as VHS can be).
Perhaps I got confused into thinking I can use both. But the BMPro appears to have an S-VHS adapter.
I guess I’m wondering what is better quality:
Run the firewire from the Canopus ADVC 300 converter directly into the firewire port on the Mac Pro
Or, run an S-VHS cable from the Canopus ADVC 300 into the BMPro Capture card
(I should mention that I have purchased all these items and already have the BMPro Card installed so at this point it’s not a cost issue, but rather an issue of simply which works best?)

Black Magic card

Forum,
I see many references to Black Magic card.
What is it?
What does it do?
Michael Craven.

They, like the AJA cards, capture video that is not capturable via firewire. Also, they can output proper signals to monitors for proper color grading.

In my opinion, if the driver of your new BlackMagic card are compatible
with your operative system, and installed correctly, FMLE uses it as any
other peripheral, so it should work.
Maybe you can ask to their support to be sure...

Soundtrack Pro (randomly?) disables my Black-Magic card I use as Sound Card

I uprgraded to 5.1 FCP and now my woes begin. Before Sountrack worked seamelessly. But now, sometimes it will play back (be audible) through the video card I use as my sound card also - a Black-Magic Decklink, and sometimes it won't. It does play though the internal speaker.
But on a few occasions, with no apparent intervention on my part, the sound does come via the sound card.
I have gone to my general preference, I have gone to Sountrack Preferences. I have tried the manual, but the manual search, you know, doesn't ever list any searches that bear at the moment at hand.
Also, Soundtrack Pro disables the card. for instance, to hear iTunes through the card, I had to quit Soundtrack Pro. Of course Apple wants to charge me for "help" with this. For myself, no idea, very stymied.

I also have the intensity settings in the mac system preferences set to y, r-y, b-y video & analog RCA Audio.
I am still stumped!

Settings for capture excise invoice in MIGO and other settings

Hi,
For excise invoice capture and post procedure which we are following is as follow
1 : For Local Excise invoice
     After receving goods from Vendor first we are Doing J1IEX Part 1, Capture excise invoice after saving this we are getting part 1 number, then we are making GR with MB01 ref. to part 1 number , then qyuality inspection then updating material in Unrestricted stock from quality afetr that we are doing J1IEX poat PART 2 here we are getting part 2 number then invoice verification,
2 : For import PO
      First MIRO for custom delivery cost we are getting MIRO number, then J1IEX part 1 ref. to MIRO number and year then MB01, ref. to part 1 of J1IEX then quality quality to store then J1IEX Part 2 then MIRO for vendor.
now in many thread i read about capture invoice in MIGO   so i want to know the detail settings which required to be made so that we can perform our ruoutin in short time.
regards,
zafar

hi
>is there will be any effect in our existing procedure We want to follow both for some time , after that we will do only in MIGO,
yes u can use both simultniously
but in MIGO if u capture, the step of updation J1i5 will be ommited (it will take palce automatically)
like currently ur doing capture >update >post
in migo only capture and then post
>second think is that now while posting the capture excise invoice in J1IEX we rae entering part 1 number, so can we do woth >this while capturing it thorugh migo or we have to post with vendor excise invoice number only.
You can do capture and post simultaniously in migo only
the separate transaction is given as persons or users may be diffrent for GR and excise
if the same user want to do the GR and cap and posting then yes he can
for capture and posting u also have to tick Post Excise Invoice Captured in MIGO in excise grp settings

What are the settings for capturing video from Canon HV20

Hi All,
I want to capture video from Canon HV20 with Premiere Elements 11. What kind of settings should I use to capture the video with full information?
Here is what I did:
1) According the manual, I went to Capture settings panel (Edit > Project Settings > Capture) and selected HDV as capture format, because my video is at high definition.
2) In addition, I checked "Capture to Timeline" and "Split Scenes by cotent".
Are these settings enough?
Thanks.

Sounds reasonable, using Add Media/HDV Camcorder, but....
Have you reviewed the Adobe write up on Premiere Elements 11 DV and HDV capture firewire into it.
http://help.adobe.com/fr_FR/premiereelements/using/WS5CDA0F91-60F1-4b79-ABF6-E9E75F498DB2. html#WS2AF26FB5-4C63-4c46-9DB3-7249558F6528
The mention of Get Media instead of Add Media makes me wonder if the video's instructor was demo'ing from Premiere Elements 10, but...
Major factors have always included having Premiere Elements project preset set correctly to correspond to your camera settings...For HDV data capture firewire...
NTSC HDV HDV 1080p30 or PAL HDV HDV 1080p25 depending on if you are targeting a NTSC or PAL area where frame rates are typically a consideration.
I had not done any DV or HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements. But, Premiere Elements 11's take over of the project preset setting would encourage me to encourage you to verify your project settings before the capture.
There are probably many more, but the following is online discussion of one Canon HV20 issue
http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/316970-video-capture-problems-HV20-camcorder-is-control led-but-no-video-capture
If you experience difficulty with the HDV capture fireware into Premiere Elements 11, you might consider what some others have done in this regard, that is, use HDVSplit for the capture firewire and then import the split (.m2t) clips "Add Media" into Premiere Elements 11 with the appropriate HDV HDV 1080p (1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9) project preset.
Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
Thanks.

My JVC's Settings for Captures

I just bought a JVC GY HD 100. I just shot with it for the first time like 15 minutes ago. I like it! I have some questions
1. I have a G4 ibook. there is not much processing speed in this little computer, so I am thinking I should shoot DV. Do you notice a difference between HDV and DV? (esspecially when I am going to end up on a DVD anyway for distribution!
2. What settings do I set to capture on FCP so as not to have to render? I don't think I can do it in easy setup, How do I customize?
Thanks,
Toolius
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I saw your post in the other thread but as was stated it is inappropriate to "thread jack."
As per your questions - in my mind, there is really no reason to not shoot HD, even if your final product is a SD-DVD. Reason being 1) You spent the money on a camera capable of shooting HD so shoot HD, 2) In a year or two when HD is the standard everything you shoot today can be easily adapted into new projects (a-roll, b-roll, etc.). Otherwise you will be forced to uprez your current SD material to HD and that just never looks as good, 3) HDV has a slightly higher color space (debatable) being 4:2:0 as opposed to your DV of 4:1:1. A better product to start with generally will net you a better looking end product (i.e. garbage in - garbage out)
Capturing HDV in Final Cut with the JVC camera choose the Easy Setup - HDV 720p30. This is assuming you have Final Cut 5.0.4 or later. I would definitely recommend the jump to 5.1.X if you have not already done so. Many HDV issues get worked out in that upgrade.

Settings for Capture and edit HDV

I Bought two Sony V1's yesterday and shot a wedding with them today. No problem capturing the footage but when I place it in the time line I need to render. ( Red line above footage) So i guess the settings are wrong.
In the Audio/Video tab, I have
Sequence preset HDV - 1080i50
Capture Present HDV
Device Control Preset Sony HDV Firewire
What else havent I done? (It was a 13 hour shoot so I'm a bit tired but just wanted to see how it looked. Maybe a good night sleep will help!)
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Two 3Ghz Duel Core Intel Xeon 4 Gig ram

You are going to get this sort of thing a lot. When you try to print to tape at the end it can happen again.
If you are getting problems you should reset your easy settings and copy and paste the edited material (not the sequence or you wil just nest the old sequence inside it) into a newly created easy set up sequence.

Black Magic Capture Card

Hi Everyone,
I'm about to order a Black Magic card because I can't seem to output DV or HDV to my Sony GV-HD700 deck. Am I correct in believing this will solve my issue, and are Black Magic users happy with the card?
Thanks
Boxcar

I'm happy with my BMD HD Extreme card. But I'm not sure that will fix your output problem. I noticed on Sony's website that the specification section for your model does not list Leopard as compatible. It only goes as high as OS X 10.1. My guess is that might be the problem. Also, double check the output settings in Final Cut to make sure you're setup for DV.

Premiere Pro CS6 Issues with AJA and Black Magic

Has anyone had any issues outputting via AJA and Black Magic cards?
I have 3 Macs using Black Magic Intesnsity Pro HDMI cards and 1 Mac using an AJA IO Express. On all the machines, i get weird audio issues intermitantly. I press play, no audio comes out. I stop, press play again, no audio comes out but the PP VU meter is registering. I stop, and press play again, and i hear distortion coming from my speakers, i stop and play again, and everything is fine. These issues are consitantly happening, but not necisarily in that order. I also get out of sync audio, then stop and press play again, and its all good.
I fell as though i have narrowed it down to being between PP and the IO cards, because if i turn the cards off in PP, my audio is fine everytime.
I have the propper Premiere Pro drivers (for AJA) and all the latest firmware and drivers for black magic. I am playing Quicktime media, usually Apple Pro Res hq or 444. IO and data rate with same codecs works perfectly in FCP. I have also tried using media that is local as opposed to on our server.
Has anyone had issues with this? Is this a known bug with in PP? Will it ever get fixed???
Thanks.

I have expereinced this issue on my Mac Pro right before I switched to a PC.
Call AJA Support. They are there to help you!

Black Magic External monitoring and Canvas Presets: Motion3

I have a Black magic card on my 3.0 quad intel. I am creating s Text commercial in Motion3. I have mixed the audio and imported that into Motion3. So, I am set up to create the entire project's visuals in Motion3.
My canvas is set to Broadcast HD 1080i60 because i didn't see 1080p60 and for this job i wanted to use something that is default.
I set the BM Intensity to to BM HD 1080i 59.94 and the HDTV is set to 1060i60 (via HDMI).
I get a tile in the middle of the lcd. Like 720p on a 1080p screen.
To get the best monitoring in my config how would i set up Motion3 , The BM Intensity , and maybe the HDTV also?
I am trying to avoid the jagged edges on the text and photo-wrinkles from down-scaling.
PS: i started in motion3 as DVCpro50 - 720p30.

What is the correct set up so that i can make PP default to sending the stream to the external on every project?
There is no way to set this on a project basis; it's per sequence. You must use one of the Blackmagic sequence presets to enable external monitoring from a sequence.
Also who do i set premier to dual screen editing?
I'm not positive, but this should be possible with the BMD card. However, setting up two desktop monitors is an OS setting, not necessarily a Premiere Pro setting. As long as you can expand your desktop over two monitors, you should be able to set up Premiere Pro and its various frames and panels to utilize both monitors. This is independent of full-screen external monitoring through the BMD.
In premier preferences under the media tab i see the intermediate media timebase ... Does this effect how Premier is handling my source footage? If not what does the window effect?
That dictates (or is supposed to, anyway) how imported media that does not have a specific timebase/frame rate should be handled on import. As far as I'm aware, this only affects image sequences--I've never seen it have any influence on an imported video or audio file. Even if it's set wrong when you import an image sequence, you can reinterpret the image sequence once it's in your project. Simply right-click it and select Modify > Interpret Footage. If you don't use image sequences, I think you can safely ignore this setting.

Your Recommedations For Capturing With HDV To DVCPro HD

Hi All,
I am about to start a new wedding project and I am using my LHe Kona for the first time to capture for output to a dvd. I want to know your best settings for capturing with LHe in FCP with my Z1 Sony? I will be capturing in 1080i and I would like to know which DVCPRO HD format to use with the best DVD end result. I have a totally new Caldigit Duo 500 GB raid as a scratch disk the can capture up to 140 mbs as most of you already know. Your help would be appreciated

If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to choose the Kona LH's "easy setup" for capturing DVCPROHD with the frame rate you've shot... then make HD or SD DVD's from the resulting sequence... Might have to change your device control to firewire, but it should work just fine.

Dslr footage with Black magic intensity - playback stops at every new clip

Every time the play head reaches a new clip it just stops.
If I don't use a black magic sequence it plays fine.
Is dslr footage too much to handle when using a black magic card?
MacPro 8 core 3ghz.
PP 5.2.2

If you have installed the latest BM drivers than I think your evaluation of the card is valid

Best settings for HV20?

I want to capture footage to FCP 5 from an HV20. The footage is in HDV, 24p. What settings for capture and editing should I use? I'm very new at this, please don't be afraid to mention what might be obvious.
