CAPTURING DVCPRO HD 720p25 PAL

I'm trying to load DVCPRO HD 720p25 PAL footage into FCP 6, but it won't let me load. How do I switch the VTR control...How do I load this material? I've set the FCP project to the settings for DVCPRO HD 720p25 for input but still no luck. Please advise.

More info, computerdude... What are you trying to capture from? How? What are your settings? What specifically happens when you try...
info info info.

  • Capturing DVCPro 50

    A simple question I know but I couldn't find a clear answer. Can I capture DVCPro 50 to FCP using the decks firewire output to the Mac's FW input? Or do I need a third party piece of hardware.

    Nope, that's all you need.
    That and the proper Project/Capture settings. And I'll bet you can figure those out.

  • Capturing dvcpro 50 - help!

    Hi -
    I'm trying to capture dvcpro 50 tapes into FCP 6. It recognizes the deck and I have control, but the preview is all pixellated. The deck keeps giving me the E-00 error (servo not locked). Does this sound like a deck issue or a settings issue?
    I've got it on the DVCPRO 50 easy setup, connected to the deck with firewire.
    Thanks for your help!

    what deck are you using? Are you sure it's compatible with dvpro50?

  • DVCPRO HD 720p25

    Hi!
    At the moment I'm writing my diploma thesis about the different HD-formats. For this I have to compare for example 720p50 to 1080i50 (nothing really new, I know)... Anyway, also I'd like to work with DVCPRO HD 720/25p and DVCPRO HD 720/25pn, recorded by Panasonic HVX200 and HPX500. We have FCP6 and FCP7, but neither of them can work with this format. Both convert it to 720p50, even though that isn't what I want. This is why I'm asking for help, since I haven't found a real answer in the internet.... Hope anyone can help me, I'd be so glad.
    So my final question is: is there any way in FCP to work with DVCPRO HD 720p25 (pn isn't that important)?
    Thanks in advance!
    bye Anke

    We have FCP6 and FCP7, but neither of them can work with this format.
    Look in the Easy Setup and select DVC PRO HD 720p25. It is most certainly there.
    Then go to Sequence > Settings > Load Sequence Preset.

  • Capturing DVCPRO-25

    Does anyone how I can capture DVCPRO-25 (NTSC) I don't see a pre-set and I am not very experience with this format so I don't know what settings to use. I also heard that this is a professional format, so there is some box or something that I need to check so the audio and video are locked in snyc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I need to capture this tomorrow! (will only have the deck for an hour or two)
    PS: I searched the manual for "capture DVCPRO" but amazingly nothing came up I could only find two pages on DVCPRO-25 that weren't helpful to my problem.

    Your audio shouldn't drift (at least I don't think so). Make sure the audio was recorded at 48k. If it was recorded at 32k, you need to duplicate the preset and change the audio sampling rate. I do hourlong captures all the time without any audio drifting. Some people report audio drift with material shot on Canon cameras. I've worked with material shot with the xl1 without any drift.
    Also make sure you have "abort capture on timecode break" enabled in the preferences.

  • Capturing DVCPRO HD

    Hi, I've been capturing DVCPRO HD footage for months now, but recently a strange thing has been happening to my captured footage. The video seems to freeze for a few frames, and pick up again out of sink with the audio. This happens at least 4 or 5 times per 30 minute tape.
    I cant seem to figure out what's happening. Any ideas?

    Question, Has this computer even had FC5 on it?
    And how many external drives are connected currently and are they daisy chained together or in a raid configuration? And How are they formatted?
    Have you tried trashing the FC preferences and repairing disk permissions?
    I would probably try re-installing Quicktime and try reducing the number of firewire drives on your pci bus card.
    Its unfortunate you didn't go with the esata pci express card and that would insure the transfer speed for DVC Pro HD 1080i. http://www.siig.com/Default.aspx

  • Does Final Cut Pro offer native support for DVCPRO HD 720p25?

    I would like to online a DVCPRO HD project on a Final Cut Pro suite with an HD i/o card, but I just wanted to make sure that the latest Final Cut Pro offers support for DVCPRO HD 720p25 before making the jump.

    Thanks for the info. I will check if the production company's Blackmagic HD card supports DVCPRO 720p25.
    Just for your information, we have offline edited on an Avid MC Adrenaline. We have had the biggest problems ingesting the media since we shot on a Varicam at 25p and the Avid wouldn't accept firewire. So we ended up cutting in 30i. Which now ***** since the online is a pain.
    It seems like we will export an EDL per video track from the Avid, then hopefully find a company or a person who will convert our 30fps EDL to 25fps via the software EDLMax24. Then import the EDLs into a Final Cut Pro HD suite with a Blackmagic HD card via HD-SDI, and online from the HD AJ-1400 deck. And hopefully that will work.
    The only outstanding thing is to find someone with EDLMAX24 since it retails at 600USD.

  • DVCPRO HD 720P25 FIREWIRE CAPTURE WARNING

    I've just finished a job that required shooting DVCPROHD 720p25
    As there's no PAL capture option yet we assumed that shooting on a Varicam over 60 frames and once captured at 720p60 it would convert over to a 720p25 timeline with no hassle.
    But we assumed wrong..........
    This worked perfectly for 75% of the footage but the rest looked like it was playing a jumpy varispeed clip.
    After hours of tests I found only way around it was to export the clip from an editing timebase 59.94 timeline, export as 720p25 and import back in.
    (Trying to do this in the media manager rejected the process)
    Again this either worked 1st time or took up to 5 attempts.
    Eventually all the shots we wanted converted
    I thought I'd share it with all you PAL editors waiting for Apple to pull their finger out and sort out a DVCPROHD 720p25 capture option
    Come on Panasonic sort it out, the footage looks great but your doing us PAL boys no favours
    MacBook Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2.33 GHz, 3GB Memory, Miglia Dualdisk 640GB (FW 800 88MB/Sec)

    FCP 5.1.2 has support for PAL DVCPRO HD. 720p50 and 25. Your issue is that you shot 720p60 and are now trying to convert it to PAL. And you are doing so without using any converters.
    You can try the Standards Converter from www.nattress.com (there is a demo available)...barring that you can have your footage transferred at a dub facility.
    But converting NTSC to PAL isn't as simple as draggng it into a PAL timeline.

  • No DVCPRO HD 720p25 or 720p50 Easy Setups - how can I capture??

    Well I admit I haven't used my Panny HVX200 for a few weeks, but now I have a new project and find to my horror that the only Easy Setups in FCP 5.1.4 are for the US +(DVCPRO HD 720p24, 30 or 60)+.
    What happens to those of us who need 25 or 50?
    +(I'm hoping I don't suddenly need a capture card)+.

    Hi, I have just posted a topic like this! I own a JVC and I have done some footage at 50p... And it looks like (to me) that FCP can not handle it.
    What is the solution?
    As soon as I have some answer I will let you know.

  • DVCPRO HD 720p25/50 (PAL) on FCP5

    Hi,
    I'm trying to import media recorded with panasonic hvx200 (pal), on the 720p50 mode, and I can't find this preset on Final Cut Pro 5. I only get the NTSC presets (720p60/30/24). Does anyone know how to work with the PAL version?
    Ferrino

    Yes, it is a question of software. Apple will support it very soon, but unknown when the release will happen. And the above software does handle it, by captuing 25p as 50i. Not sure what that does to the slow motion capabilities. Never had to use it.

  • Capturing DVCPRO 50 into FCP 6

    In my Video settings I only have DVCPRO HD, or DV 50 NTSC. But no DVCPRO 50. Should I capture in DV 50 48khz anamorphic (it's 16x9)? Or is there something I should download?

    type +open angle bracket+ img src = +then the url of the jpeg in quotes+ then +backslash close angle bracket+
    man, this auto formatting stuff makes it hard to type examples of formatting code!
    here: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/images/_IMG.html
    as for +the panasonic camera shots PAL dvcpro 50, at 25 frames a second+ thats only true if you've got a PAL model ... what on earth makes you think this a format unique to the PAL world?

  • Big Problem when Capturing DVCPro 50 tape with FCP 5.0.4

    At the job we work with DVCPro 50 tapes wich I capture using the capture Preset DVCPro 50 NTSC, the images are perfect, but there is a problem with the sound it doesn't capture at the good frequence, exemple, if the capture provide 5 clips, the 3 or 4 first will be fine and the other one qill be at an audio rate of 47.* instead of 48 khz, does anyone had that problem already and if so, what can i do?? Cause now everything is off sync
    thanks

    sorry to bother you, but you were the only reply. 3 sources were mini dv. 1 was hdv. the mini dv sources were converted using toast (by someone else). when all sources were put on the timeline, i got the redline render. so i rendered them (took many many hrs). then i exported them. this turned them into
    fcp movie files. then i re imported them. currently the browser says they are all dv/dvcpro, ntsc ccir601, 720x480. the weird thing is that i can multiclip any of the two sources, but not 3 or more. any help would be appreciated. thx dr

  • Help! Capturing DVCPro 50 tapes into FCP7 on a Macbook Pro (FW800 only)

    Help guys!
    I have 54 (yes, fifty-four) DVCPro 50 tapes shot on the Panasonic SDX900 that I need to capture on my Macbook Pro. What's the most economical way to do this that won't cost me a fortune in rentals? My MBP has FW800 only.
    Do I absolutely need a tape deck like the AJ-HD1200A?
    Do I need a SDI converter box for the Macbook Pro? If yes, what's my most economical option?
    Thank you in advance!

    Do I absolutely need a tape deck like the AJ-HD1200A?
    Well, any deck that will play back those tapes. That is a DVCPRO HD deck that also does DVCPRO50. I'm sure there are DVCPRO 50 decks out there. But any way you slice it, you need a deck. And any deck you get will have a firewire interface. FCP has the codec for this format...it's called DV50.
    Do I need a SDI converter box for the Macbook Pro? If yes, what's my most economical option?
    No. This works via FW.

  • Capture DVCPRO tapes in Final Cut

    I have a Sony HVR-M15 series tape deck and FCP 6. My deck captures mini-DV media via firewire in FCP no problem. The deck also has the capability to handle the bigger DVCPRO tapes. I can play the DVCPRO tape just fine on my monitor but when I try to capture it FCP freezes or sometimes gives me an error message (this operation cannot be completed as there is no video). Any ideas?

    Hi thanks for all your posts,
    It looks like it is a compatibility issue with the deck. It still doesn't make sense that I can play the DVCPRO tapes but not capture them. http://www.globalmediapro.com/video/products/SonyHVRM15_HDVRecorder--1948.html This is my deck, and a list of the stuff that's compatible with it. It appears like the HD DVCPRO tapes are compatible so it seems like the normal ones should be.

  • Capture: DVCPRO HD 1080p30 vs Apple ProRes 422

    We shot a project at 1080p30, 29.97 fps. I'm wondering if I should capture this footage using the DVCPRO HD 1080p30 setting or the Apple ProRes 422 setting. And why would you recommend using one or the other.
    Thank you very much!

    I called AJA and they can do it with an Intel Mac Pro 3ghz dual core.
