Capture setting.

How do I create a custom capture setting for capturing 48K 16 bit audio in FCP 5.1? My FCP has a audio format of 38 bit floating point and I need to change it to 16 bit to make it compatible with my Sony digital camera.
Thanks

Hi Jerry,
My excuses to keep pestering you, but if 32-bit floating point is correct and I use the preset DV NTSC why do I keep getting the same message "The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture tape preset matches the sample rate of your tape." I do film at 16 bit.
Thanks onces more,
Wiecher.

  • Capture setting when using a firewire and camcorder

    does anyone know the capture setting I use when importing from a dvc camcorder using a firewire

    Typically it would be DV/DVCPro (NTSC or PAL), 48khz, 16 bit.

  • Best Capture Setting for MiniDV

    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best capture setting in FCP 6 for MiniDV tape (NTSC not PAL). Can I capture it with the Pro Res setting or should I capture it in another setting and then edit with the sequence setting set to Pro Res?

    Capture and edit the material in its native format. DV-NTSC has it's own special Easy Preset. Select it and have at it.
    You gain nothing except huge file sizes when converting DV into ProRes.

  • No regular prores capture setting

    We are trying to use premiere cc for capturing Prores footage as it's the only way we can capture LTC with the footage, (media express won't work as it doesn't capture LTC).  We have prores options for LT, HQ, 444, but no capture setting for just standard prores.  We really need just the standard prores capture setting as we will be capturing a tremendous amount of footage and need to save the file sizes from HQ, but want better quality than LT.  Any Ideas?

    Yes.
    No.
    The HV20 is outputting DV for FCP, that is what you should capture. You will not gain anything by capturing the DV signal into a "better" codec. Besides, it is VHS you're starting with, DV is already a step up.

  • DV converter capture setting

    When I was using FCE, I frequently used the DV converter capture setting to import and digitize old VHS tapes. Now, when I upgraded to FCP, I cannot find that setup. Is there a different one to use, or is FCP not equipped with that option?

    And use the NTSC DV 48k settings for the capture setting if you're in NTSC land. If you're in PAL land, use PAL..

  • How to reset clip capture setting?

    I logged many clips with capture setting for audio only (FCP 3). I need audio and video. I have not captured. How can I reset setting without having to re-log all clips?
    Thanks.

    Change capture settings from tab in log and capture window before batch capture

  • DVCPRO 1080i25 Capture Setting

    Dear All
    I can't find a Capture Setting for DVCPRO 1080i25 in Final Cut Pro.
    Does anyone know why this is and how one should capture such footage.
    best
    Aldo

    Thank you, Shane. Was just talking about you.
    Now that question, I really could and should have answered myself. This i25 business is really just a nomenclature issue. The HD nomenclature seems a little inconsistent with fields and frames being interchangeable at times. That doesn't seem right to me.

  • Sony HVR-HD1000E capture setting in FCP 6.0.6

    One of my clients has a Sony HVR-HD1000E mini-dv camera & contacted me when they were having trouble capturing video.
    The camera captures at HDV 1080i50, so set FCP to this but says it cannot communicate with the camera. If I set FCP to DVCPRO HD-1080i50 then it communicates with the camera but when I try to capture, Preview is disabled. With the capture window open I then change the setting to DV PAL Anamorphic & apply the setting the preview window becomes active. I then change it back to DVCPRO HD-1080i50 & apply, the preview window is active & I can capture without any problems.
    I spoke to Sony & they agree with me that FCP should be set to HDV 1080i50 & cannot explain why there is a problem other than FCP is having a bit of a wobble & needs reloading/updating etc.
    I have connected the camera to three different machines with FCP 6 & all do the same, also tried different firewire cables but no difference.
    I can tell you that it worked fine for about 6 months but no one knows on what settings so I'm hoping that someone with the same camera reads this & can tell me what settings they use.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello there,
    I am owner of HVR HD1000E and I am working with FCP 6.05. Here is the setup you should have in FCP and everything will work just perfect:
    OPEN - File - Audio/video settings:
    Summary: Seq.present - HDV 1080i50
                    Capture preset - HDV
                    Device control preset  - Sony HDV 1080i50 Firewire
                    Video Playback (if use) - Digital cinema desktop Prewiew
                    Audio Playback - Default  
    Sequence preset: HDV 1080i50
    Capture preset: HDV
    Device control preset: Sony HDV 1080i50 Firewire
    Thats it!
    Open Sequence in FCP and check Settings:
    General: Frame size: 1440x1080 (16:9)
                 Pixel aspect ratio: HD 1440x1080
                 Field dominance: None
                 Compressor: HDV 1080i50
                 Audio: 48kHz, 16bit, stereo
    For export use: Quicktime movie, CURRENT Settings! If you want small file size and very quick export, than unchecked "make movie self contained". But if you wish your mov file transport to other computer..., than you must check "make movie self contained". In booth cases you're movie will be 1920x1080 HD crystal picture!
    I hope my help isn't too late!
    Best regards from Slovenia

  • New camera, problems with capture setting

    Hi-
    I just got a new Canon Vixia HD30. I'm using FCP 5.1.3, and I can't find the correct settings for capture. I've tried a variety of mix and match between the camera settings (HDV, HDV30, HDV24, etc.) and the available settings on FCP (HDV, HDV 1080i60, etc.) but I'm not getting full functionality. It is recognizing the camera when I go to Log and Capture and I can capture clips when the FCP setting is HDV, but there are two problems:
    1. (most significant) The captured clips need rendering when I put them in the timeline.
    2. The captured clips, when opened as clips, are not synched with the audio. (I've had this issue before with a previous camera, many years ago, but can't seem to solve it this time.)
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Zack

    Dear Zach,
    Did you ever solve this problem? I've run into the same issues: having to render clips captured from a new Canon Vixia HV30 when I put them in my timeline. A considerable waste of time. I just wonder if you ever figured it out.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • FCP 4.5 capture setting is weird

    when I check the data on my clips I captured it reads a different aspect ratio.
    I captured footage from my Canon GL2 at 640 x 480 and when before i drag them on to my timeline I make sure my sequence settings are set to 'Square' and '640 x 480' aspect ratio and everything seems and looks fine but when I check the information of the clip it says it was captured at 720 x 480?
    What does this mean and will it cause further problems later on.

    capture settings
    using dv video for input
    canon dv using NTSC
    29.97 frames per second
    MPEG-4 video at best quality
    24 bits per pixel
    640 by 480
    using DV audio for audio input
    input: first 2 channels
    rate: 48,000 kHz
    speaker: off
    volume: 100, gain: 0
    so anytime I record this I should use this settting and set my Pixel Aspect Ratio (on my sequence preset) to Square. It looks good on the timeline but I'm concerned because I need to output this to DVD.

    To start to help you we need more info.
    Is your footage 1080/24p? or 1080/60i?
    How are you planning to capture? Firewire? Capture card?
    What deck?
    Computer specs? I ask because your profile says eMac, I don't think that you are going to edit 1080i HD footage on an eMac. At least, not very well.
    What version of FCP?
    There is probably an easy setup for your situation but more info will help us hep you.

  • Playback different than Clip Capture Setting?

    Hi All!
    I am in a dilemma. I am capturing from a miniDV (not HD!) a clip that was shot in wide screen, so I set my capture input ti DVD NTSC 48 kHz Anamorphic. However, when I try to play the captured clip, it is not preserving its initial wide screen size (it is streched to the viewer size)
    Any clue what I might be doing wrong??
    Thanks,
    gabster.

    Javabob -
    Many thanks!! That was exactly it - I had to check the anamorphic check box - everything is back in shape!
    Thanks a ton!!

  • Master gain (capture setting)

    Can anyone please tell me what's the "factory" setting for audio master gain while capturing? I changed it for a few tapes and now can't remember where it was... Thanks!

    Capturing what format?
    DV allows no changes as it is a direct digital transfer so you must be working in something that requires a 3rd party card/device for transcoding during capture, yes?

  • QT Capture Setting

    So, I captured a whole bunch of clips and did a lot of editing. I shot advanced 24p and I was careful to make sure that I set the capture settings to correctly capture the adv. 24p. (The correct pulldown, etc. etc. following advice from Ken Stone). Everything seemed to be working fine. The Browser shows that the clips are formatted as 23.98. So I thought everything was good.
    However, I was checking my "capture settings" for the heck of it, and realized, to my horror, that the Quicktime Video Setting was 29.97. The FCP manual says this setting "should" match the shooting rate.
    First, what does the QT setting even mean?
    And, if some of my clips are QT 29.97 and some are QT 23.98, is that a BIG deal?
    In other words, is all lost? How concerned should I be?

    I think I solved it: by using a piece of software called VideoReDo TVSuite I transcoded the file to H.264 MP4. The whole operation took 10 seconds (when writing to the same hard drive!) and reported the image below.
    Opening the new .mp4 file in Premeire, it got slightly shorter: 00:05:03:28 compared to 00:05:05:39. More importantly the audio is perfectly in sync, both when previewing in Premiere and when exporting the final cut as WMV.
    The trial version of VideoReDo works for sub 15 minutes clips, I'll do some more tests with existing/future projects but right now it looks like the best solution.

  • Capture setting un-customizable?

    Hello,
    I'm using Premiere Pro CS4. When I attempt to change my capture settings, clicking on either the "Video" or "Audio" buttons does absolutely nothing. Is this normal? Surely there must be some way to customize my cature settings further than choosing "quicktime" or "HDV". Any ideas on why this is happening?

    As Harm points out, other than being able to determine whether you need to work on a Mac, or a PC, there is nothing to be set. What you get will be a direct copy of 1's and 0's. There are no CODEC choices, no Frame Rate, etc.. That is set by the camera, when the video was shot.
    Those settings can be readily changed in Export.
    What exactly do you wish to change? Chances will be high, that the response will be "don't do that."
    Good luck,
    Hunt
