Captured clips are playing back at least TWICE as fast

Hey all- I am capturing HD footage from a JVC Pro HD camera - footage shot at 24P. Everything seems fine with the capture (except for the fact that there is no device control - only capture now), but when I play back the captured clips I hear the audio playing at normal speed but the video is playing back at leat at twice the speed - all actors are in FAST motion. I hear the crew and director speaking, getting ready to shoot as I watch the scene start and speed through and end right as the clip ends.
Any ideas? Is it a setting on the OUTPUT for the camera?
Thanks for any help.
Cayce

Neither Final Cut Express nor Final Cut Pro support
720p24 material. You need a product like HDVxDV to
bring it in.
Tom-
Thanks for getting back to me last night. You seem to be a master in these parts. I am new here. I am really a director and writer but through my production company I have done a number of things in FCP over the years, always without any problems. That is until the introduction of HD and 24p at which time I sort of started saying to our amazing editor "whatver you say" and clouding over with confusion. After I got your message I went and got FCP 5 from the Apple store in an attempt to keep my friend, whose short we were trying to edit, from crying. Once installed and running we had the same issue as we had in FCE HD - the video - in terms of quality - was captured perfectly, but the clips would play back at almost twice the speed that they should have. I tried virtually every easy set-up that pertained to HD and nothing worked. On a few of them I could get an actual Log and Capture window to come up but when I went to play the material via device control there was no image, althoug I could see TC running. A friend suggested that you have to take the captured HD 24p clip and bring it into the timeline and render it for it to work. Is that true? I tried it to no avail. So, he shot on JVC GY-HD 100 at 24p. I now have FCP 5 HD and am considering buying LUMIERE software that purports to streamline this very issue. Any thoughts or suggestions you may have for me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
M Cayce Lindner

My nano plays back itune podcasts at too fast a rate.

Hi All! My nano plays back itune podcasts at too fast a rate. My iMac does not do this with the same podcasts. If I have my nano connected to my iMac and use it (the nano) to playback thru my computer monitors- it's fine. Unplug it and use earbuds and it's too rapid!? Did my nano drink too much coffee? Thanks, Michael

O.K. Finally figured it out... Podcasts have a 1/2x, 1x and 2x speed setting on one of the windows that will change the playback speed. Never Mind!

Mp4 files are playing back green

All of the mp4 files on my computer are suddenly playing back mostly green and pink video. I can hear the audio but the thumbnail and the video are green. If I hover over the thumbnail and press play they begin to play fine. I can then press the space bar while the thumbnail is playing and the file will open up and play normally using quick view. I am running 10.9.5 and also have the most rent version of VLC installed.

>I reset the TV but even it didn't work. It still didn't play the mp4 files
Did you do this correctly?
I mean you have to rest to default settings. In such case every option which has been changed, would be set to the default.
To do that you have to go to:
System Setup -> Reset TV
When the set powers back on, the Quick Setup screen will appear. Press OK to advance the setup and perform an auto tune.
Furthermore the user manual provides a list of Media Player Supported formats (page 93)
There is a list of supported formats for movie files and music:
_Music_ mp4 files are supported.
The files extension should be .m4a
The audio codec should be MPEG-2/4 LC-AAC
The max number of files in the folder: 1000
The _movie_ mp4 files:
The supported file extension: .mp4 or .m4v
The supported video codec: H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC), MPEG-4 part12,14
Supported audio codec: MPEG-1/2 Layer3, MPEG-2/4 LC-AAC and MPEG-4 HE-AAC

Program Monitor - I'm not seeing whole clip when playing back

I'm real worried! Having spent days of my life importing video and editing it - and then trying to fix my problem of only seeing a part of the playing-back clip in the program monitor which led me onto your site. I've spent hours looking at your posts (and indeed Adobe help pages) trying to solve this and clearly (I think!) my original sequence settings have been wrong. Maybe I can come back to that because I'm really not sure how to set these correctly. My initial question please, if I complete my editing and then export this file, will I still only see part of the clips in the final version, or will I see the whole of the original movie clip?
Some information:
- Windows 7
- Premiere Pro CS4
- Program Monitor setting is "Fit"
- 16:9 aspect ratio
- PAL (based in the UK)
- Sony HD camcorder - SR12E
- 1920 x 1080i HD
Phew, hope that's enough information for you to 'kick start' me!
Thank you.
Regards, Doreen.

Would you also be able to tell me if the Sequence Preset below is my correct preset for the future. Thanks.
- AVCHD
- 1080i
- AVCHD 1080i30 60i (Amamorphic)
Oh, it's like a new language!
Regards,
Doreen.

Help! Avi's are playing back through quicktime (pro) white images,no sound

Okay, so i have some videos that are avi files. One was emailed to me from one person, and others are from a totally unrelated person-theyre now on my mac web gallery. Anyway, when i open them through safari or quicktime, the movies seem to play back (my one friend's has no sound and is white screen; the gallery videos have sound but no image, same thing, all white) but have a white screen instead of the movie image.
Any suggestions?? I'm soo lost and really need these videos!

Download and install Perian. Note that some AVIs will not work in Mac OS X; AVI is a container, not a format.

After rendering a clip it plays back slow

For christmas i recived a gopro hero 3, since then i have been out to the beach filming with it.
The setting i filmed in is 48fps at 1080p
I first brought it straight into premiere cc and started to edit it, i noticed that some clips after rendering seemed to have slown down, but kept the same duration.
At first i thought it was because i was stablizing the clips, but only certian clips became slow, while others were fine.
I then downloaded the gopro program and converted the clips to avi files as apparently the gopro files straight from the camera arn't the best for playback and editing.
Even after converting the same clips slow down and i dont know why, i have looked around for a good few hours now and noone seems to know why its happening?
Is it because of the framerate i recorded in? i have had problems before with the sequence settign being right but for this i made the sequence from the clips so they are the same.
Im a regualr editor of dslr footage and all that is fine, its just when i start to edit gopro footage that it happens
Please could someone help

historically film cameras are 24 FPS ...and broadcast ( in the US ) is 30 FPS...so a lot of what happens in editing is sometimes related to that stuff...
If you shot at 48 FPS and showed it on a film projector ( which is 24 fps ) as " film " it would look twice as SLOW as normal footage shot at 24 FPS.
If you shot at 48 FPS and want it to look NORMAL than you would play it on a projector that actually projects at 48 FPS...and then it would normal.
See what I mean about the stuff being related ??
So if you shot 48 FPS and want it to look normal you can try " intrepret footage " settings...and there are others here who can help you more... I don't shoot overcranked and haven't done what you are trying to do .. but you should stipulate whether you want the motion you shot to look " normal " or slowed twice as much or what ... keeping in mind what I said above ...
hope that helps ?

On Capture, Clips are broken up

I'm capturing from an HV30, 30p framerate, my clips get butchered into multiple smaller clips, even from the same take. Can anyone help me here?
Thanks in advance,
Ben

That dang HDV codec. Doesn't matter what frame rate or resolution. If you capture HDV into FCP, its gonna end up being all busted up. My research tells me it doesn't have much to do with inconsistent timecodes. The problem is with the intense GOP processing of the HDV codec. So intense, it interrupts the capture stream. If your post workflow is able to be adjusted, I'd suggest bringing the clips in using Apple's intermediate codec. It will still have some breaks, but not nearly as many as the HDV, and i find it quite nice to work with. And while we are on the subject, with FCP 6.0.3, there is a bug that won't let me capture my JVC footage using the HDV codec at all. So be careful on your upgrades.
I've also heard of people bringing HDV in using another platform, like premiere, with no interruptions, then transferring into FCP.
Hope this helps.

Captured video plays back fast (sped up) in Final Cut Express 4

I had a Panasonic mini-dv digital camera that was stolen and it worked great with FCE. I purchased a JVC GR-D870 (mini-dv) as a replacement and now in FCE when I capture video it plays back fast in the Viewer and if I open the .mov file in Quicktime. Note that the video plays back at the correct speed when played from the camera, and when the video is being captured. I've tried changing my Easy Setup, but nothing has helped much. I'm currently using the DV-NTSC FireWire Basic setting, though it doesn't matter which one I chose. I did try using the 25.00 fps DV-PAL setting and interestingly it will capture for about 2 seconds and then crash, but the 2 second clip I'm left with seems to playback at the normal speed. This is an NTSC camera so not sure how to get the video that I capture to play at the correct speed (frame rate?). Any help would be most appreciated.

Never heard this one before!
I have no idea why it is playing back fast, but if you have an NTSC camera you must use an NTSC Easy Setup.
When FCE behaves strangely the first thing to try is to delete the preferences as described here:-

Sequence is DV-PAL, clips are DV-PAL, but Audio needs rendering in Timeline

Hello everyone.
I'm just getting started with FCE 4. Here's my problem: i set up FCE with the easy configuration to work in DV-PAL. Then i copied some clips i had captured with iMovie 06 from an old project file to another folder on my external firewire harddrive. I then imported these clips into FCE. These clips are also in DV-PAL, since they came from a DV-camcorder. The videotrack is fine, but the audiotracks are only played back in the viewer but not in the canvas/timeline. All i get there are the beeps, which indicate they have to be rendered. If i do render them, the audiotracks are played back in the timeline as well, but from what i've read in this forum and elsewhere, rendering shouldn't be necessary at all when the sequence and videoclips have the same format. Any ideas why the audiotracks need rendering?
Thanks and regards, Thorsten

Hi there!
Fortunately, importing iMovie footage was only some kind of quick way to get at least some footage into FCE to experiment with. I only got FCE a few days ago and had no new Footage on tape, so i thought i might as well use already captured video files. I know better now and won't mix up any projects. Although i have some very useful plug-ins for iMovie like the gee three image stabilization. That's something that (as far as i know) FCE can't do. So i do think about using both programs. Not on whole projects, but probably on single clips. Like working on shaky footage in iMovie, then exporting it as a single clip in QuickTime so that FCE can work with it. Could be a little too much hassle, though. I'll see when i try it.
Best regards,
Thorsten

Webcam video plays back super fast speed

hi, does anyone know about this: when i record video from my creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro, the play back is like twice the speed of real life. like a video speeded up. it was working fine on my previous computer, which was windos xp, and i upgraded to a newer computer with windows vista 64 bit, and now the video play back is too fast. i also tried viewing the video on other viewers like windows media and VLC, still too fast.

Hi David,
I think we may be able to say more if you can tell us more about the rest of your code. What sort of structures are you using, and where are you dropping your AVI Capture code in? Is the video sped up on your front panel or when you play the resulting file?
You should post the larger piece of code if possible.

Capture Clips and Mac Book Drive

My first question is... I need to free up gig space on the Mac so that I can run Pro Tools (not simultaneously with Final Cut Express HD of course). When making movies on Final Cut Express HD, I notice that each time I capture a clip it is not only being saved in my external Seagate drive (as I instruct it) but apparently it is also being backed up in the Mac and there is over 100 gigs of 160 that is hidden somewhere that apparently is just extra space being used. How can I delete that and make sure that the all of the capture clips are on the external hard drive? Thank you. I am sure it is a simple answer. (I am not exactly sure of the operating system I don't have access to all of the paperwork at the moment- I bought the Mac and Final Cut in February 2007).

FCP doesn't ever put clips twice on the computer don't think... something else is causing your buildup of files.
You can see where each clip is stored in FCP though... right click on any column header in the Browser and select "Show Source" as a new column to be added. It will show you where the media is on your system that the clip is referencing... bet it's only on that external...

Blue screen of death, surprise restarts, and some captured clips distorted, with blocky artifacts!

Hello,
I've been using my set-up (Premiere Pro 2.0* with Cineform AspectHD) successfully for years, to capture and edit footage. But just recently, my computer has given me the blue screen of death after capturing for about 5-10 minutes or caused my computer to restart in the middle of capturing. I've also noticed that the resulting captured clips are, in some places, distorted and contain blocky artifacts. It isn't a problem with the tape because the footage plays just fine on the camera's preview monitor. I tried re-installing Premiere Pro 2.0 and Cineform AspectHD, but the problem persisted after a successful, but brief capture session (the resulting clips were still distorted and contained blocky artifacts). I have no idea what the problem is! One solution I attempted was to capture on another computer in my house, using the same software. Although I didn't get the blue screen of death or a surprise restart, the captured clips were still distorted and contained blocky artifacts in some spots. Another option I tried, with the second computer, was deselecting the Scene Detect option in the capture dialogue box. As a result, the captured clips are free of distortion and blocky artifacts, but the problem is that the captured clips are too big and very difficult to manage (I shoot a lot because I'm a filmmaker and I'm in the middle of a big project). Why is this happening?!
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!
*I'd use a later version of Premiere, but I spent a lot of money on Cineform AspectHD and the version of Cineform I have only works with Premiere Pro 2.0.

I agree with John T. BSOD's are most often caused hardware issues, such as overheating of a component, or a failing, or undersized PSU.
Also, general system drivers can cause failure. Often, those are outlined (though maybe not in really adequate detail) in the Event Viewer's log. In that article, that John T. linked to, there is another link to "Finding Clues." It goes into more detail on using Event Viewer to explore warning, or error messages. If your testing of your system's components and heat, do not yield a weak link, see that one (no pun intended). It is in Reply # 3.
Good luck,

FCP X viewer window plays back video with color errors

I am new to Final Cut X and Final Cut PRo in general. I am doing a project at work where I needed to learn FCPX.
I figured out a lot pretty fast. But one issue i am having is that all of the clips being played back in the viewer window are being played back with this weird color error. Its happens to movie clips, still photos and titles. See below, This is a screenshot of what it looks like. When I first installed FCP it wasn't doing this but now it started doing it all the time. Its annoying because I can't see the transitions properly, and sometimes video gets out of sync with audio.
I am running Lion 10.7.1 with a Mac Pro 2 x 2.8ghx Quad Core Xeon. 16GB RAM. Nothing special on the HD's but they are at 7200rpm.
I tried adjusting prefs for playback quality, I tried transcoding media. However, its doing this to a still frame jpeg as well, which should be giving the machine ay trouble. I feel like my machine should be able to keep up with FCPX.
EDIT: I also restarted my machine a bunch of times and killed all processes that weren't necessary for the machine to run and for FCP to be working. I also have an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT graphics card, which meets the requirements for FCP X.

I am also seeing the same issue. I have an Eizo Display and if I color correct with the i1 it behaves as above. It has been driving me crazy. If I switch back to standard profile it seems to work but my dislplay is not color calibrated. Is there a fix?

Hi. Quick question I am working with Panasonic GH3 footage and it is playing back in slow motion?

Hi. Quick question I am working with Panasonic GH3 footage shot using .MOV wrapper with their IPB 50mbps and All-Intra 72MBPS codecs and they are playing back in slow motion in Sg CC. The footage works fine in PP CC and I have no clue on how to fix it. Is this a bug or do I a have a setting wrong some place?

Yes it turns red this is silly PP and AE have no problem with playback for these codecs. So it is indeed Sg not handling the codec correctly and not my system?
What if I transcoded it to something else other than the previous what would you reccommend?
I was going to transcode to ProRes but 5DtoRGB does not work on Windows with GH3 codecs.
What is the correct time warp seting under clip properties? I screwed with it and forgot the default setting.
Is there a way to reset Sg back to defaults settings globaly. I tried to many settings trying to fix the playback and may have left something in the wrong state.
Thanks...
