Can v5.1.4 import DVCPRO HD 720P 24PN?

Hi all,
Can FCP 5.1.4 import DVCPRO HD 720P 24PN from a Focus Enhancements Firestore FS-100? Or do I need v6?
Thanks for your input.

Yes it can.
How it is important depends on what firmware the FS-100 has and how you have acquired the footage.
If you have 720/24pN, which is only the equivalent because the HVX200 can only stream non native out firewire, then organize the clips first in the FS100 if you shot P2.
If you shot QuickTime 24pn equivalent, then just mount the drive the HD mode
What settings did you use in the cam and on the FS100?

DVCPRO HD 720P: pixel aspect ratios with still images from Final Cut

I am currently trying to get still images from a trailer I am working on with Final cut pro. The footage is DVCPRO HD 720P 24pn and the interlacing and pixel aspect ratios have been giving me a lot of trouble in photoshop. I am able to convert the PAR but it is for preview purposes only...? I need the file to be saved with the converted PAR. How do you do that???
Also, the de-interlacing filter on photoshop doesn't seem to help the quality of the photo.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have searched and searched and only found somewhat related questions, so maybe I am the only one trying to do this...

Why are you doing interlace if you have 720p?

Capturing dvcpro hd 720p 25

I've tried capturing through my black magic extreme card via SDI but the results look awful, then I tried prores with much better results but the frame size is 1280X720 not 960X720 which is what I need. Any ideas why the quality is so low with the dvcpro hd 720p 25 codec and any other codecs I can use which will give me the same frame size?
Much Thanks, Matt

Why not simply import the files via firewire in the original codec or, if the material is stored on a P2 card, simply drag the files onto the hard drive and use log and transfer?
The DVCProHD 720 960x720 dimension is how the codec stores the material. When it is played, it is translated into a full frame size of 1280x720. If you move the DVCPro material to a ProRes codec, the 1280x720 preset is appropriate.
Or did I not understand your problem/question?
How is the material stored? Tape, P2 cards?
What are you using as the capture device? VTR, camera, P2 card reader?
Version of FCP?
Version of OSX
Version of QT?
Computer model? (there is no such thing as a G5 Mac Pro)
Additional information may help clarify things

DVCPRO HD 720P Capture File Pixel Dimensions, etc.

I'm crossing over from Final Cut 7 where I've been using AJA LHi card to capture DVCPRO HD 720P 59.94 tape from the Panasonic 1400 deck successfully for years. In Premiere I've adjusted all the capture settings and sequence settings to conform to DVCPRO HD 720P 59.94:
-Pixel format: MC DVCPRO HD 720P 60
-Capture format: AJA Mov Capture
-Video format: 720P 59.94
BUT....
-My Premiere capture tests look not only slightly horizontally stretched, but cropped about 30 pixels only on the right of the full raster frame in both Premiere and in playback in Final Cut 7. This is true for the clip as it plays on the timeline as well.
-When I launch the clip in QT player it has the same cropping problems but is playing as 960x720, not defaulting to 1280x720 as normal 16:9. Final Cut captured clips play in QT as default 1280x720. So the file as captured in Premiere is missing a tag that tells QT how to resize it. I'm in QT 10.4 by the way.
-I've imported captures from Final Cut into Premiere and they look fine.
-The Premiere captured clip in the bin shows as 960x720 which is correct for DVCPHD, but in parenthesis shows (1.3333) which I've never seen anywhere before.
-The folks at AJA think this is a Premiere issue not a capture card issue, and I tend to agree.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

I'm wondering if what the original camera may have embedded into the file is jumbled in with the 1400 and "crashing into" what both FCP and PrPro expect to 'see'. From the above grab, PrPro is thinking that this is just a P2 format Panny camera, shooting "standard" P2 stuff. Which this clearly is not.
At this point ... wondering is say Kevin-Monahan could jump in here & provide some assistance? At least, he'd know who to talk with about this. So might shooternz ... he's been around this sort of thing for many years.

HELP ! NO DVCPRO HD 720p capture preset

I'm about to start a job shot on DVCPRO HD 720p 25 PAL on Friday, but through research I thought I could capture at this rate, I've just found out that you can only do it of P2......
Any ideas?

Help...........

You need FCP 5.1.2 to work with 720p25 footage. And make sure that you have SHOW ALL selected in the Easy Setup window.

DVCPro HD 720p codec ?

Sorry for the silly question. But I'm wondering is someone can tell me where I can the DVCPro HD 720p codec for Quicktime (MAC). I have some HD quicktimes that are not playing video (just white) and they were exported using this codec. I've searched for it, even on some free codec sights, but haven't had any luck.
Thanks in advance!

Was the audio routed to the camera? Or recorded separately?
Which camera?

Fcpx imports DVCPro HD 1080i always as NTSC/1080p

Hallo to All,
I have a problem importing DVCPro HD 1080i50 material in fcpx 10.0.3. The imported clips always appear as NTSC 1080p clips and they are not longer interlaced, even if my project is ProRes 442 HQ 1080i 1920x1080. How can I import an DVCPro HD 1080i clip in the right way?
Thnks for helping

I tried making all sequence settings DV but still no luck. Just get a black screen on playback of tape. Very weird. Frame size, pixel ratio, compressor all DV.
I have a screening coming up soon so I'll probably have a post facility make a DVCAM from the HDCAM master tape, which which will probably look better anyway than doing it in FCP from the DVCPro file. Still it would be nice to figure out why it isn't working.

64 Min DVCPRO HD 720p 60p

Typically I dont double post, but this is also in the Authoring section, I dont know where the problems lies, but I have a feeling it's in a little of both
I am in a extremely messy situation. I cant what I am doing wrong. I shot a Ballet DVCPRO HD 720p 60p Direct capture into Final Cut. High Definition has such great quality in the RAW, and when I compress and Author the DVD, it *****, no detail, and I loose 1/2 the lighting. I am new to the post production side, and beg for your help. If anyone who works with DVCPro HD and 1 hour to DVD I would greatly appreciate it. Also am I suppose to be using a special DVD?

I actually check my FinalCut to Compressor Export against the frame of the editing timeline image, and they are almost identical. NOW, When I pop in the DVD, Differnt stary. Night an day on softness. Color and brigthenss is actaully brighter, and blurrier. Brigtheness is not night and day, I wish there was a way to take a snap shot of my DVD, but it says I can when DVD player is open. So to me, it seems as if DVDSP is doing something to it.

Mixing Hi-8, VHS into DVCPRO HD 720p/24 Timeline?

I've got a DVCPRO HD 720p/24 timeline. I need to bring in material from other old school formats (Hi-8, VHS, mini-DV) to be added in. How should I go about this? I'm thinking copying all to DVCAM, then digitizing in. From there, do I need to Upconvert? Or can I just drop it all in the Timeline and work? How does one deal with the 29.97 / 23.97, interlace/progressive and 4:3 / 16:9 differences?
Any advice, or pointers to discussions, tutorials, links, etc would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure this is a really common headache-inducing question, but I can't seem to locate an answer.
Thanks!

First, in the CANVAS, turn on IMAGE+WIREFRAME in the box drop down menu. Then, Layer your footage. Put the main shot on V1. Now put it again on V2. Double click on the image on V1 and crop one side until it starts to cut into the video. Click on the clip on V2, go to the canvas and drag it until it is visible. Throw filters on it to set it apart. Gaussian blur to REALLY blur it out. Perhaps the 3-way color corrector and turn the saturation all the way down to get B&W, or just partway down. Anything to make it look interesting. Put the same clip on V3, double click on V1 again and crop the other side. Drag the filters from the clip on V2 to the clip on V3 (you might need to crop the clip on V2 to clear the area on that other side) by double clicking on V2 to get it into the viewer, then click on the filters tab and drag and drop.
Upconverted stuff look good? As good as it can. I worked on a History Channel show that was easily 50% DV, VHS and betaSP....while all of our A ROLL and Interviews were DVCPRO HD. The archival stuff was not. It looked decent. It will NEVER look like real HD...give up that ghost right now. You are taking a smaller image and blowing it up 200-300%. And if it is DV...it is already highly compressed. Compressor will do a better job of smoothing out the edges and ridding of the interlacing than FCP can. A terranex box will do even better, as will a Kona 3.

Transcoding DVCPRO HD 720p/24 to DV NTSC 29.9 FPS

Hello,
I have a project that was shot in DVCPRO HD 720p/24 fps and I need to transcode it to DV NTSC 29.9 FPS. I've tried it in FCP and it looks like crap. The internet gods have told me that using After Effects is the best way to do this, but I can't figure it out for the life of me.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would really save me!
I have CS3, but the way.
Thanks!

I was running Firefox on another computer that lost it's motherboard, was able to salvage the harddrive, but my mail files on the older hard drive have a different name, how can I pull or import those older files into firefox running on another computer?

I had been running other email clients for years and finally switched to Firefox. All the while importing my other email folders. So I had quite a large history of email. I had been backing up my system using Acronis for years. My desktop's motherboard crashed and was not worth repairing. I pulled my desktop hard drive and turned it in a standalone drive. I re-established my email on a laptop starting from scratch using Firefox. I would like to import (if possible) the emails history that is stored on the standalone drive (formerly my old hard drive). However, the names of the mail folders on the drives are different. For example: current computer the mail folder is named garlic.com. On the standalone drive (old hard drive) there are several folders and they are named, for instance; mail.garlic.com, mail.garlic-1.com , and so forth. it goes up through garlic-4.com.
How can I pull or import these older folders into my current email folder and see all my old email archives?

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

I've had an iphone for a whlie now and its been synced to another computer. i've finished syncing it to my new computer but can't seem to import my songs from my phone into my itunes library. what do i need to do?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.
