Capturing DVCam 24p

I shot 16:9 DVcam footage on a V1u at 24p. What setting should I use to capture and edit this?
I tried "DV NSTC Anamorphic" and it looks petty bad (horizontal aliasing), and frame rate was the usual 29.97.
Thanks for your help! - Andrew

It's HDV, not dvcam, yes?
edit --
oops... just saw it can do dvcam too...
However...
The sony brand of 24p means 60i with 2.3 pulldown cadence.
So - capture 1080i at 29.97 fps.

  • Capturing 1080p 24p from p2

    I have received a drive with footage that was shot on the Panasonic HVX200 with P2 cards. After speaking with the DP, the format of the footage is DVCPro HD 1080p 24p (not 24pa). After performing the Log and Transfer, when I look at the clip I see 3 progressive frames, then 1 interlaced frame (repeats).
    Page 66 of the manual for working with FCP & HD video indicates
    To remove standard 3:2 (2:3:2:3) pulldown from 1080p24 footage, you need to
    capture the footage as 1080i60 (29.97 fps) and then use Cinema Tools to remove
    the pulldown.
    Page 100 indicates:
    The Import Panasonic P2 window cannot remove standard 3:2 pulldown.
    To convert footage with 3:2 pulldown, you can ingest the media at 29.97 fps and
    then use Cinema Tools to remove the pulldown.
    Page 103 indicates:
    Use Remove Advanced Pulldown command in Final Cut Pro or Cinema Tools after capture or ingest.
    I am familiar with Cinema Tools, and have performed the conform process before with footage from the HVX100 in Standard Definition with no problem. However, when I attempted to remove the pulldown in cinema tools, the footage appears unaffected even though the frame rate is now 23.98.
    I read in another manual "Workflow for Final Cut Pro and the Panasonic AG-HVX200"
    that 1080p 24 is Not supported at this time.
    Has anyone had success capturing 1080p 24p from a p2 card and then removing the pulldown to get 23.98 with progressive frames?

    Just to make sure, since you mentioned advanced pulldown. You should be removing regular pulldown, not advanced pulldown. Also, conform is for files that are already progressive. What you want is reverse telecine. Try doing a batch reverse telecine on a few clips. I've had problems in the distant past doing it on single clips because I wasn't starting with an A frame.

  • Capturing at 24p

    This may be a dumb question but could someone tell me how exactly to set FCP to capture at 24p? thanks alot

    24P?
    Easy Setup...DV/NTSC...29.97fps.
    Your standard capture for DV.
    24PA? Capture with advance pulldown removal.

  • Best DV deck for capturing Panasonic 24p footage

    Hi everyone,
    I'm working with 24p footage from Panasonic DVX-100A and HVX-200 cameras. I've always found the tapes tricky to capture with Advanced Pulldown Removal, and now I'm unhappy with my Sony DSR-11 VTR.
    I'm finding that some equipment plays nicer with 24p footage than others.
    Some of my editing colleagues have suggested that I should use Panasonic equipment - and they do have an equivalent low-end DV deck, the AG-DV2500.
    Any suggestions from the field? My budget does not permit buying a full-blown studio DVCam machine, unfortunately.
    Joe

    I put this question to Larry Jordan, of newsletter fame, and he feels that I'll be better off with a Panasonic VTR - so I'm gonna give that a try.

  • Capturing DVCAM in FCP 6.0.2 and encountering strange capture behavior

    I have FCP 6.0.2 and OSX 10.5.2 and QT 7.3.1. I have been capturing several DVCAM cassettes using my Sony DSR-20 deck. Although I have done this countless times before in earlier versions of FCP, I am encountering some strange repetitive behavior. I am capturing 30 minute clips one at a time. When I use batch capture it will cue the tape up properly to the in point...and then start capturing until it gets to about 10-12 minutes in, and then capture unexpectedly stops, no dialogue box, the tape rewinds and starts capturing again from the original in point. On this second capture, the tape sails past the 10 minute mark and keeps going to the end of the 30 minute clip. It then stops, gives me the dialogue box that it has successfully captured. And it has.
    But every DVCAM tape I captured today exhibited the same behavior. Capture would be successful until about about 10 minutes in, then FCP aborts (no dropped frame message, no dialogue box) rewinds the tape back to the in point, tries again, and this time succeeds with the second pass capturing the entire clip. Note at the 10 minute mark there is no scene change or no camera start/stop.
    Have other users experienced this issue? And if so, is there a workaround or a possible patch forthcoming from FCP?
    Many thanks,
    John

    Yes, each tape has an in and out point defined. In my 6 years of editing with Final Cut and DVCAM tapes I've never encountered this issue before in the capturing process until now. I will have to see in future weeks with other captures whether this is an on-going issue or not, but at least I can capture for now.

  • How to capture HDV 24P footage without pull down

    I´ve got some imagens with HVR-V1U in a HDV 24p mode thinking to transfer to film. Now I´d like to uploud the images in the same mode. In Premiere there is only HDV 30p and the option 24p only works for dv format. So, in the HDV 30p I receive the file in a Adobe with 6 more frames per second and it doesn´t work for cinema. Is there any way to edit a project in Premire in HDV 24p mode, and in this case how to get the file from the camera.
    thanks.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Final Cut Express doesn't support HDV natively. It uses Apple Intermediate Codec upon capturing process to convert the HDV format.
    Even if you can download your HDV from your PC to your Mac, you haven't the HDV native quicktime component to open the material for conversion to AIC purpose.
    Final Cut Pro allows to works with native HDV.
    So why don't you use more tapes and keep archived source material. Mini DV are pretty cheap these days.

  • Problem capturing DVCAM material

    Hi,
    I have got some material shot in pal 4:3 on DVCAM. I am using a Panasonic AJ-D250 DVCPRO dec and Final Cut Pro 5 HD to capture and edit the material. However, when I capture the material using log and capture, Final Cut can read the timecode but there is no video/audio signal coming through?
    I am capturing using
    'DV PAL 48 kHz' with the 'Firewire Pal Basic' connection.
    The deck is playing back ok when a monitor is attached.
    Any help that you may be able to offer will greatfully received.
    Many thanks

    DVCAM (sony) and DVCPRO (panasonic) really don't play well together at all.
    An example: I can play dvcpro on my dsr-11 DVCAM deck, but I get no code and cannot capture.
    I don't think those two companies like each other too well. Best bet: rent a dv cam deck, or buy a dsr-11 if you're going to be doing a lot of this stuff.

  • Capturing DVCAM tape

    I am capturing a DVCAM tape via Firewire from a Sony DSR-11. In the Log and Capture window I select the DV NTSC 48 kHz capture preset.
    However, the resulting video looks bad. It's heavily pixilated and not sharp, not at all how it looked in the preview window and when viewed on an external broadcast monitor.
    Any suggestions?

    That is how it looks. It is just a "proxie" image for you to see what is being captured without needing an external monitor attached. It will look like crud. But, as you said, that isn't how your footage REALLY looks. For that, just look at the external monitor that you should have attached to the deck if you want to see a good quality image.

  • Capturing DVCPro50 24P Footage

    If anyone could help, I would appreciate it. I am trying to capture Anamorphic DVCPro50 footage shot at 24 fps (Panasonic DVCPRO50 Deck). I initially captured the footage with the following captured the footage DV50 48KHz Anamorphic. The footage looks great on the timeline (DV50 48KHz Anamorphic), but it is sped-up. I made a new timeline (DV%) 48kHz - 23.98 Anamorphic)and the footage moves at the correct speed, but I have to render the footage. Is there any capture setting that coincides with this timeline setting? Or is the deck playing the footage at the wrong speed? Where have I gone wrong?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    Did you shoot 24p or 24pA?
    At either rate, you captured as 29.97 with that preset. Which is why you must render it on a 23.98 timeline.
    I'm not sure why it's speeding up the footage, are you positive that is happening?
    If you shot 24pA and want to work on a 23.98 sequence, recapture using the DVCPro50 Anamorphic Advanced Pulldown Removal preset.
    If you shot 24p, work on your 29.97 timeline with the footage you have already captured, and make sure it is really speeding up.

  • Capturing at 24p from XL2

    Just started using an XL2 and curious how to capture footage that was shot at 24p to maintain the "film" look for the end result.
    Thanks.

    Capture and work with the footage at 29.97 fps. The FILM LOOK was already achieved in camera with the 24p setting.

  • Capturing Uncompressed 24p from an XL2?

    Hello I have an XL2 that I shot two reels of 24p 16x9 footage. I was having troubles capturing the footage and then found the posts in here for using the basic DV NTSC with advanced pulldown. But that is a 15:1 compression ratio is it not? If so is there a way to capture uncompressed? Thank you

    No...that is a simple file transfer. The footage captured is the EXACT same resolution as is what is recorded onto your tape.
    That compression is 5:1. But that 5:1 compression happens on the tape.
    SO if you capture DV/NTSC with advanced pulldown removal, you are getting the best quality you are going to get.

  • Capturing DVcam

    Just wanted to make sure I'm doing this right. I have 2 DVcams to capture. Can I capture these with my NTSC DV 48 KHRTZ setting?
    Thanks
    jeff

    Yes. DVCAM is nothing more than DV25 (aka DV/NTSC 48khz).
    What makes it DVCAM is that the tape mechanism runs 50% faster than standard DV. The material recorded on the tape is the same stuff just spread out over more tape.

  • HAVING TROUBLE CAPTURING DVCAM

    For some reason everytime I capture to fcp from a sony dsr-pd150 I have captured with this camera before with no problem should I have any special setting with fcp to capture with this camera. thanks

    If you've captured with this setup before (you haven't made any changes to your system - software updates, additional plugins, applications added?) I'd recommend repairing permissions, trashing the FCP preferences and checking you've got the appropriate easy set-up. You could also try resetting the firewire ports by unplugging from power supply for 30 or so mins (removing battery if it's a laptop) after unplugging any devices and shutting down the 'puter.
    As Zak says, more info helps to diagnose the problem

  • Capture settings for Canon XL2 shot in: 16:9 24p 2:3:3:2

    I just boght the XL2 and FCP, and need to capture a four hour interview I shot today in 16:9 24p 2:3:3:2. I just don't know how to set up the capture settings correctly.
    Thanks guys,

    Well, 2:3:#:2 pulldown refers to the way your camera flags the frames while they're recorded, in other words there's not real 24P recording while using tape, because video runs @ 29.97fps ,(what the camera does is to tell to your editing machine that it has to spread the 1st frame over the two first fields the second frame over the next three fields the third frame again over three fields and so on, from there it why it's call 2:3:3:2 pulldown) so in fact to capture true 24P for editing you have to remove the pulldown and remember,if you later are going to edit to tape you'll have to re-apply the pulldown so it prints well to a 29.97 device.
    Hope I was clear enough

  • Capturing and editing 24p from panasonic dvx100a

    hi all,
    forgive me if this post seems thoroughly redundant...but after several hours of searching the web i am utterly confused. I need help!
    here's where I'm at:
    shot a project with a dvx100a for the first time. Shot everything at 24p Standard (aka F5 mode on the camera).
    am editing in FCP 4.5 and the
    final destination for the project is the web..but might need to make dvd's for the client along the way.
    also want to incorporate a few Super 8mm shots that are already transfered to MiniDV into the edit as well.
    my main question(s) is this:
    1. What setting do I capture my 24p footage at?
    normal dv ntsc? dv ntsc advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown removal? dv ntsc anamorphic? what about cinema tools reverse telecine or 3:2 pulldown removal? i'm confused by all the conflicting advice i've read...
    2. What setting do i create my sequence at for editing?
    dv ntsc normal? dv ntsc 23.97? dv ntsc anamorphic? again confused here by conflicting info on the web...
    3. What does the cinema tools reverse telecine do/achieve?
    4. What's the optimal output settings/process for the web (quicktime movie) to keep it looking like it does when i watch the raw footage back in camera?
    any and all advice, tips and guidance is GREATLY appreciated. i need to get started on this project and can't figure out what is the best settings/means to get going with.

    one quick answer I can give you is all your questions regarding anamorphic settings. The only time you use the anamorphic settings is when you shoot your footage using the anamorphic option in your camera or use an anamorphic lens. How can you tell after the fact? Well, look in your capture window with the regular settings. Do people look stretched top ways, look taller and skinnier than normal? If you answered yes, then you need the anamorphic (or 16:9) settings. Once you switch this, you will immediately see the proper conversion in you're capture window (everyone will look normal again and you will be capturing a 16:9 image).
    As for the 24p, 3:2 pulldown stuff, I simply cannot answer as that is still all foreign to me.
    You might want to also inquire as to weather the camera shoots true 24p (progressive) or if it is interlaced footage.
    hope this helps a little bit.
