Capturing Footage that has been shot in Long Play?

Good Morning All,
I have been giving a tape that has been shot in Pal Long Play and I can not log and capture this DV Tape at all. Everytime I do try the footage is just useless.
This may sound like a silly question but :
Does anyone know the settings that I would put on FCP 6 to log and capture footage that has been shot in Pal Long play?
Any help would by highly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Kevin

LP mode slows the tape to extend the recording time. If the camera/playback device does not have this mode, the material will play back either as noise or accelerated. In either case the images will be unusable.
You need a camera that understands PAL DV tapes recorded in LP mode. Your best bet may be the original cam.
Once you have the original cam/ or one that records/plays LP DV tapes, dub the material to a standard play DV then capture the SP DV tape. LP tapes are notorious for audio and video drifting apart. The audio will almost certainly be recorded as 12 bit/32 khz.

  • Cut Extraneous Footage that has been captured...in FCP?

    Ok, I have some seriously disorganized Digital8/8mm video (family of course) and it is darn near impossible to log and capture to pick out what I'd like.
    Now let's say the capture is done and over with. Is there a way to simply pick an in and out point, then replace that master clip? It sounds very easy but I wound up exporting a whole new video and in the same process, I waste space.
    I'm sure you pro's know what the trick is, it would be great to know it so I could save some time.

    Don't confuse master clip with source media these are two different things! Accurate capture utilizes source footage stored on computer. You may try media mangler to trim source footage. Create all your subclips, select all of them from the Browser right-click and select Media Manager go from there...

  • Multiclip and P2 footage that has been sub-divided

    Hi everyone,
    We shot a presentation with 2 x P2 cameras. Same codec etc.
    The presentation went for about 20mins and we continuously recorded on both cameras. When we ingested the footage the 20 min clips where broken up into 4 to 5 smaller clips running approx 4.55 each.
    They all join seamlessly of course but I ran into a problem when I tried multiclip.
    I could only put in the first clip from cameras 1 and 2, then i go to black. I need to join on the rest of the clips that were shot on cam 1 & 2.
    Q1 - How do you do multiclip if your footage was recorded seamlessly but across many thumbnails or files???
    I got around this by compiling cam 1 and cam 2 and exporting out then reimporting the compiled cam 1 & 2, but is there an easier way.
    I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for anyones help.
    Kris

    The cards are formatted in an offshoot of Fat32. Fat32 has a 4GB file size limit, so when you shoot LONG takes, it is broken up into smaller files, but then stitched together when you Log and Transfer into FCP. So you SHOULD have one long clip for every time you started and stopped the camera. Why you can't multiclip these is beyond me...they should be one continuous QT file. Are they not?

  • Fixing an LCD screen that has been shot in a video and ispulsing/flickering

    I have an HDV format movie of a product video that includes a small LCD touch screen, editing in apple intermediate 1080i codec, that includes scenes with LCD screens in the background, one of the screens is flickering as it was not synched to the camera during shooting. It doesn't look too bad in HD but when I downconvert to DVD (using the bonsai method going thru a DV50 intermediate http://web.mac.com/bonsai71/iWeb/HDVtoDVD/Welcome.html) the flickering is very noticeable.
    I've tried roughly masking it and using the flicker filter - it helps but it doesn't fix it 100%. The rest of the video looks great. I can't replace the screen as it's too much work. Any ideas how i can reduce the pulsing/flicker.

  • How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is "unable to find the original file?" I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

    How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is “unable to find the original file?” I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

    Backup drive?
    Subscribe to iTunes Match?
    If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck.  A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work.  You can buy a lot of CDs for $200.

  • TS4036 How do I access content that has been backed up to iCloud?  I no longer have an iphone, but want to access the music/pictures I've stored to the cloud.  When I logged into iCloud, there was no tab or option to view store content.  Please help.

    Without an iPhone or iPod Touch to restore the backup to, you cannot access the camera roll photos stored in the iCloud backup.  Signing into the account on your computer and enabling photo stream will only allow you to access photo stream photos from the last 30 days, and any shared stream you were subscribed to.
    You can redownload purchased music in iTunes on your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    In the Mac side of things, backups usually come in two flavors: clones or incrementals.
    A bootable clone is a bit-for-bit copy of all essential files in the startup volume. If using the Lions, clones can be made using CarbonCopyCloner or just plain old Disk Utility. These backups represent the safest protection of your info, but take the longest to do. Recovery is an inverse process: you copy the clone back into the internal drive.
    Incremental backups start with a complete backup of the startup volume and only copy whatever changed from the previous run. OS X includes the fully integrated Time Machine backup utility to do this. It is extremely easy to do and takes the least amount of time. Recovery is another matter altogether since you have to start with a freshly installed instance of the OS and have to apply all intervening backups to bring the result to the latest saved version.
    As for where the backup takes place, the recommended media is an external dedicated drive or drives connected via the fastest interface available on your Mac: Thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire, or USB2. Network-based backups, wired or wireless, are attractive but may not offer the same performance and hence take longer. Also important to note that the entire drive need not be completely dedicated to a single backup. The Mac's EFI firmware infrastructure allows for an unlimited number of partitions on a hard drive and each can be used for either type of backups.
    Holler if you need specifics on how to do each. This was just an executive summary.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

  • Upgrade to iOS7.1 has broken Music. . .can't play songs in the cloud and songs that have been downloaded won't play either.

    I've discovered an interesting "feature" of iOS7.1 for the iPad (4th gen). 
    Since upgrading, I can no longer play music that is in the cloud and when trying to switch to a song that has been downloaded to the device, it won't play either; however, the equilizer graphic indicates that something is playing (bouncing up and down) but the song position indicator stays at 0:00.
    Eventually, iTunes/Music (not sure what to call it these days since Apple can't seem to decide either) gives up on the song selected, the on that is not playing, and moves to the next song.  If the next song is local to the device, music plays, if it's another song in the cloud, the pattern repeats until it hits a downloaded song.  Have also discovered, after my various and simple testing efforts, that I can no longer download songs from the cloud - I was able to download one song but afer that. . .kaput. 
    It takes a special level of brilliance to send out an update that breaks your own applications/code. . .particularly one so core to the device. 
    Two words for future releases. . ."Quality Assurance". 

    I had a similar problem. Try resetting and erasing the phone and restoring from a known good backup.

    I have an ipad that has been 'locked up' since 10 a.m. cent. time this morning! I cannot do anything to get it to shut off or reset. What do I need to do?

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )

    If no joy... Try a Restore...

    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • How to get PDF file that has been transformed into docx into my filing system so I can work on it???

    How can I get the PDF file that was transformed into a docx file into my filing system to be able to work on it and translate it as the customer requested?

    THanks for your reply.
    Well what happens is I bought the program. It gives you a button to click,
    you log in and then a box opens up asking you to select the file, I go into
    my filing system (in Windows explorer) select the file, and the program
    converts it into docx, my choice.  I can read it there and when I try to
    copy and paste it into my file where the PDF version is saved, it behaves
    like an "image", and I can't save it.... or it saves likes something you
    save on the internet, so you have to go into internet every time you want
    to see it.    I have also pressed any amount of buttons to see if it will
    give me the option to save it any other way, and have found nothing.  What
    I would need is a file in docx.format that I can edit.  People send me
    things in PDF and sometimes I can just copy it off the PDF file and save it
    in WOrd, then I can translate it for them. But sometimes the PDF file
    doesnt allow me to copy the text.  If it is in image form, I cannot work on
    it.  It means printing it, so I can copy type it into Word... and for that
    I certainly wouldnt need to buy a program.  Its just double the work and
    ends up that the job takes twice as long.!
    Sorry  if I am a bit dumb with informatics.  But I simply could not find
    any way whatever to  copy the PDF file that was transformed into Word, in a
    format that would enable me to edit it.
    Kindest regards,
