Can I Edit from a Panasonic HDX 900

I looked at the Panasonic website and didn't really find an answer. I have a client who would like me to shoot with an HDX-900. No problem. They want to do a quick edit from the footage after the shoot. I don't have a deck that will play DVCPro. The 900 has Firewire, has any one hooked up directly to Final Cut Pro to edit this way? Can I output back to tap in the deck?

i can't find on their website any mention of that camera being able to be switched to vcr mode to record the firewire signal back from fcp to the camera.
what you are trying to achieve is something we do day in day out, but all our cameras are P2 HPX2100

Difficulty import/export AVCHD files from a Panasonic SD-900 camera

Hi there,
I'm having workflow difficulties using AVCHD (.MTS) files from a Panasonic SD-900 camera.
Footage was shot at 1080/25p. I use the Log and Transfer tool to bring the footage in.
The browser window confirms 1920 x 1080, but says interlaced. I change that to progressive. I put a clip on the timeline, and select 'Yes' so that the sequence conforms to the same settings as the clip.
On export, using Quicktime Conversion, the Quicktime dialog box says the Size is 850x478 (current). Something was wrong, as the sequence should have been 1920x1080.
I closed the Quicktime Conversion box, and instead tried Export > Quicktime Movie. Selected 1920x1080 25p on the drop-down menu. The exported movie was 1920x1080, but it looked like it was half resolution, with jagged edges.
So, I did something wrong. Thanks to anyone who can set me straight.

Hi Veg,
I would suggest that you edit the footage in the format that it was recorded in . In other words don't change field dominance and edit with your footage interlaced. (You can de interlace later if your output is for web or computer viewing)
On export, using Quicktime Conversion, the Quicktime dialog box says the >Size is 850x478 (current). Something was wrong, as the sequence should have been 1920x1080.
The "current size" is the size in the canvas so don't worry about that.
Format: Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), 1920 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
That second resolution in parenthesis might be a clue to the jaggies.
Again, the resolution is what Quicktime Player is displaying at the time.
25p AVCHD does not work.
It works but not in the way that you were expecting, it is actually interlaced footage.
Can you tell us what your footage is going to be output for? if it's web or computer viewing you can de interlace in compressor. Or if it's going to end up on a DVD for TV viewing you can leave it interlaced.
Either way I think you should export using Quicktime movie "current settings" and use compressor to output to the settings of your choice.

The descriptor can be edited from administration console

In weblogic 8.x, the descriptor can be edited with weblogic builder dynamically.
However, I can't edit the descriptor dynamically from administration console in weblogic 10g.
Can't the descriptor be edited dynamically from administration console?

I guess it depends on what descriptor you're talking about, but mostly you can't edit them from the console. You should be able to edit some parameters in the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml file. Editing application descriptor values is something that deployment plans are good for. A deployment plan is an XML file that specifies a file to change, a parameter to modify, and a new value.

Can anyone help. I need to reuse my SDHC cards and transfer footage from an ongoing profect to a hard drive. Can i edit from the Hard drive or am I better transferring info striaight from camera to time line

Hi I am using a JVC GY-HM100 camera which is meant to work well with final cut pro. I have an ongoing project but need to save money and resuse the SDHC cards that are currently full of footage.
Would I be better off transferring the footage straight to the time line (as rumour has it you can do this with this camera) or store the footage on a hard drive and edit it later without risk of losing the footage.
Many thanks
Lindabob

Thanks Linda,
Here's some more info for you:
This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
Check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system. Do NOT import any of the settings etc from the old account - simply use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended - but remember, if you reinstall the system, and then use Migration Assistant (or anything else) to import all your old settings etc etc, you may well be importing the cause of the conflict in the first place.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less (about half that for Multicam). If you have a long project, work on short sections, make them into Compound Clips and then paste these into a final project for export.
If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

Can you edit from time capsule using firewire?

I'm running Final Cut Pro 7 on a MacBook Pro, editing 35 mb/sec files. Can I use time capsule via firewire to edit in real-time from time capsule?

You will have issues achieving continuous 35Mbit/s speed to the TC.. It is not a particularly high speed device. It doesn't have to be because it is designed for TM backup.. not NAS role.
If you want high speed buy fw800 or if you have latest Mac, thunderbolt based external drive.

Can't Edit from Code View?

For some reason one of my components seems to have an empty "array" as it's called describing a *filter* that doesn't exist. In other words:
<s:filters>
</s:filters>
This is causing me to get on error when I try to compile. I can take it into flex, make the change, and then compile... but after I do that FC won't accept my exported fxp. Sooo...... I would love to just delete those two pointless lines of code... but for some reasons it's locked or... won't let me delete it.
Not sure why. :-/

To be honest it could be a number of things. I've probably been making this too hard on myself, but I started with a swf, in Flash. Its primary purpose was to play an introduction upon entering the site. You can see this at garrettremes.com
I've since made changes in Catalyst but can no longer compile/export. I had started a project in catalyst before, but had to retrace my steps again and again which was very tedious, because I was playing with different options and bg swfs among other things. I decided to put that part on hold and work in Flash for a while.
What happened probably started with me importing the library from my other Catalyst project and that had god knows what in it, I lost track after a while since it renames things all the time it got to be confusing. After importing that library to my new Catalyst project I located the custom components I needed and tried to recreate some of the work I had done before.
The next step involves adding coverflow, and I remember seeing this done in Flex quite some time ago, so I figured it would be best to import into Flash Builder 4, and make the changes, and then go back to Catalyst to designate the navigation a bit better. Catalyst makes this part very easy, and I love it, but the whole process is not very streamline at all. Of course this is partially my fault, because I don't know any better way to do this. I don't know enough AS3 to do all Flash -- Catalyst seems to limit my options, and I only know enough with Flex Builder to follow tutorials and primarily work in the "Design" workspace.
Anyway -- as for the error, the first compile error I got was something to the effect of "duplicate symbol name." I don't know how to edit this property. I see there's a user designated id, and the id in the library, and apparently another id used by the program. Apparently there was a conflict. I was able to solve this by figuring out where 'rect0' was and deleting it and recreating it.
I suppose in my deleting it I caused the empty array. I compiled in Flex and it's as simple as deleting that line of code, but I don't know where the debug code is stored on my hard drive and I can't delete it in Catalyst so I'm at sort of an impasse. Not sure what to do.
I'm attaching whatever I can find that might be useful.
Flash Catalyst cannot run this project because of an error in the code.
To find the error, switch to the Code workspace and look in the Problems panel.
I did that and found that there was an empty tag in one of my components. Perhaps I should just delete that component and remake it? That would probably work....
**EDIT**
I know it's not ideal, but I solved this problem by just applying some filter so there wouldn't be an empty array, and then compiled... then I "un-applied" it and it seems that it properly removed it from code. I'm really not sure how this might have happened...

Can I edit from two camera angles?

Hello
I'm an iMovie lover struggling with Final Cut Express! I want to use two camera's to shoot some interviews, is there an easy way to edit these two pieces of the same footage (different angles) in Final Cut Express?
Cheers
Derek

Hi
Yes - but not as easy as in FinalCut Pro (old one e.g. 6) where there is a multicamera function.
If FCE - I do
• Put Camera one on Video Track one in TimeLine
• Put Camera two on Video Track two
• Select track one clip
- by double click it and then in Viewer turn on Image + Wireframe and
- resize it to 50% and
- move it to a corner e.g. top left one.
• Same with track two - but up to the right
• Now move one track so that it synchronize with the other one. You can use the audio Wave-form to do this - I use a flash-light from a Camera to get one white frame on both cameras to set them exactly right.
• Now by changing the transparency of the track two (pen tool and set to show transp.-line) one can select what Camera to view.
• When all's done - Just scale back and center picture
And Done
Yours Bengt W

Can I Edit From the Remote View?

This always bites me.
When I go to Manage Sites and pull up my clients website and
I go to the Remote View, I can't seem to open the file and edit it
and it be done from the server.
Do I always have to download it and it overwrites my Local
View copy and then "Put" it back up on the Remote View site?
Does this not work like Microsoft Frontpage did where I could
edit the server files "Live"?
The problem I have with my Local copy versus the Server copy
is I don't know if the client has edited any files or not.
Any help on this Get and Put stuff would be very much
appreciated.

> Do I then have to upload all of those 218 files back to
the Remote server?
Yes sir. That's the biggest argument against using Library
items.
> And won;t that overwrite the Remote server files?
Yes - it should do so.
> And how do you do that?
It's a pain. You have to make sure that ALL files at the
remote site are
current edit level files. This means that if anyone else is
working on
files they must either save and publish them or discard their
edits. Then
you would have to downsynch to your local site, make the
change and then
upsynch back to the server.
Library items and Template ONLY change local files. Period.
They have no
function on the server at all.

Can't upgrade from Flash 11.9.900.117 to version 11.9.900.152

Running Windows Vista OS on a Toshiba laptop. Download failed on both IE9 and Chrome. No explanation given for failure to complete download. Never got pop up box "RUN or "SAVE"

Before you click Run or Save, you may see a drop down that gives you another option - Save and Run. My experience was that IE10 got in the way of the install completing successfully. ONce I choose Save and Run, the install ran successfully.

Can FCP log and transfer footage from the Panasonic full HD 1080p camcorder

Hi, my subject heading says it all. But I have read a review of the current consumer HD camcorders from Panasonic that says they have their own codec, and that it cannot be edited on any software but their own, which is not available in a Mac version... the review was a few months old, though, so hopefully Apple have now put in place updates so that we can ingest footage from this camera...
Does anyone know about this? If not, any idea where I can find out?
Thanks very much for any light on this situation!

Sorry if you didn't know about this, but the review says that when recording at 1080/50p Panasonic uses a proprietory codec... I assumed that would be any model they produce that records at 50p.
The review of the Panasonic HDC-TM700 states "The camcorder uses traditional AVCHD compression for every shooting mode other than the 1080/50p setting. (my emphasis)<
If the reviewer doesn't know, how would we? We're FCP geeks, not universal camera knowledge base wonks.
Research the codec specifically and the camera model you are likely to find some kind of hack or workaround. I have two Panasonic hdx170s and we have absolutely no issues bringing in full 1080 from the P2 cards but most of our stuff is shot 720.

No.
You will need to transcode to one of the FCE Easy Setups.

Why do you ask in the iWeb forum?

Can I put an aperture library on a network drive and edit from multiple computers?

I have an Imac desktop and a macbook pro. I want to be able to edit pictures from multiple computers. If I simply put the aperture library on a network server drive in my home, can I edit the same aperture library from both the Imac and the macbook? Rather than always having to sit in my office making changes to files I would love to also be able to do this with my laptop sitting ont the couch or in the kitchen. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Get yourself a small portable external drive for your Aperture library.
An Aperture library needs to be on directly connected drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). network access is not supported and can lead to data loss and library corruption.
See Apple's support document: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library

FAQ: Can I edit my photos in revel from the browser or android interface?

Q: Can I edit my photos in revel from the browser or android interface?
A: At this point (Feb 2013) you can not edit the photos in Revel unless you are using the Mac, iPhone, or iPad app version of Revel. We are continuing to add new features and intend to add new platforms and file types in the future.
If you have the app loaded on an iPad, iTouch, or Mac, see this link to learn how to edit:
FAQ: How do I edit photos in Revel?

There isn't an Aperture or iPhoto app for the iPad (it comes with a basic Photos apps which is effectively just a viewer), and the photo editing apps that do exist are fairly basic : cropping, brightness, rotation, straightening etc e.g. the free Photoshop Express app from Adobe (which also has an in-app purchase option). You can use the iPad for reviewing photos but if you tend to do extensive editing then it's probably not suitable.

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp

How can I edit lightroom 5 smart previews on mac book pro (mbp) when the lightroom 5 master image files are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external HD from the mbp, I get the following pop up window: The disk "external hard drive A" couldn't be ejected because "Lightroom" is using it. Quit that application and try to eject this disk again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - Select Catalog screen pops up but doesn't list my external hard drive A as a choice.
I've reviewed Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart Previews Lightroom 5 web page and still haven't been able to figure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Your internal HDD. by default, is named 'Macintosh HD'. From what information you supplied, it looks like there is already a Lightroom catalog installed on you local (internal) HDD using the standard naming convention Adobe uses as well as a Lightroom catalog on your external drive which you created. To be sure of which catalog Lightroom is loading when it starts up, To do this, start Lightroom as you normally would. After it starts, select the Lightroom menu item, then select the Catalog Preferences item and finally, navigate to the General tab. The Location information will tell you exactly what catalog Lightroom is opening by default. This will likely be the Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog on your external HDD. Once that is confirmed, you are ready to proceed. As an additional test/verification, you can shut down Lightroom and, this time, start Lightroom while holding down the ALT/OPTION key. This will cause Lightroom to pause and display a screen which will allow you to chose a different catalog to open. Navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file. When Lightroom comes up, there should be no previews or folders as this catalog should be empty. Now you can be certain which catalog is being used and which catalog has all your data and you are ready to migrate your current catalog. Shut down Lightroom.
To migrate your current catalog, use Finder to locate your Photography Mac Book Pro Versions folder on your external drive. Select the folder and select COPY from the context menu. Next, use Finder to navigate to the /Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder on you internal HDD. You can start at the Macintosh HD level and work your way down by opening each level (Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures). Select the /Pictures folder and then select PASTE... from the context menu. When the COPY/PASTE is complete, you should see the following files on the Macintosh HD:
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/ and
Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions
The Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom folder will contain the empty default catalog the Adobe created when Lightroom was installed and Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions will contain a copy of the catalog you created on your external HDD.
You are almost done now. Make sure your external drive is still attached for this step. Restart Lightroom using the ALT/OPTION key again. When the Select Catalog screen appears, select the Choose a Different Catalog button (lower left side). When you do, a Finder window will open to allow you to navigate to a catalog of your choosing. Navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions and select the file Photography Mac Book Pro Version.lrcat. This is the copy you just created. Select the Open button and Lightroom should start. You should see all of your previews and settings just as before. Also, in the left hand panel, all of your folder should show up and none of them should be dimmed and none of your previews should display a small exclamation point badge. Either a dimmed folder name or an exclamation point badge indicates that Lightroom can't find the associated image file. If everything looks good, go to the Lightroom menu, select Preferences and then select the General tab. Under Default Catalog, select an option to either load the LAST catalog opened or select the Users/[user name]/Pictures/Photography Mac Book Pro Versions catalog from the drop down. Shut down Lightroom and then restart it normally. This time, when Lightroom starts, you should be viewing the new copy of your catalog. You can confirm this by looking at the General tab on the Catalog Preferences screen (Lightroom/Catalog Preferences menu items). Shut down Lightroom once again and this time, eject your external drive before restarting. This time, your folders in the left hand panel will be dimmed but you should be able to work with your smart previews. If Lightroom should display a Select Catalog screen with the external drive detached, double check your settings as it indicates Lightroom is still looking at the copy of the catalog on the external drive rather than the new copy you made.
Finally, if you are seeing dimmed folders and/or exclamation point badges with the external drive attached, this indicates a problem. You can select any folder and select Update Folder Location from the context menu. This will allow you to navigate to the copy on the external drive and select it. Lightroom will then update the catalog (select to synchronize the content). This will not only clear the dimmed folder problem but also remove the exclamation point badges for all photos in that missing folder. However, it may indicate that not all went well with the copy of the catalog so make sure to verify all went well. You can use the Get Info option on the two folders. You should see the same number of files/folders for both the copy on the internal drive as well as on the external drive but you can't rely on the byte count because of the possibility of differences between the geometry of the two drives. Hope this all helps!
