Capturing with a JVC HD GY 110U, missing beginnings

Hi There,
We are working with a JVC HD GY 110U and capturing is proving to be trying, FCP and the JVC are cutting off the starts of our clips., we checked this out on the JVC site and it said the problem is resolved by upgrading the firmware of the camera which we have done but still the problem continues.
has anybody run into this problem before....
thanks in advance

THANKS for your quick response...
well I've started reading the "HD and Broadcast Formats" section and I hope it helps me get to the bottom of things... you said...
"A GOP is typically half a second in length, so your solution is to back up your capture in point by at least that amount"
so would a good work around be to add a longer pre roll value to the capture in the |"easy set up" menu?
or would you recommend un checking... "Create new clip on Start/Stop" in the clip setting menu in the Log and capture window and just making a single file from a cassette and create sub clips before editing?
edit... well scratch that idea I unchecked this option but FCP is still capturing individual clips...
How would I "back up my/your capture in point"?
thanks again for the support

  • Question about capturing with JVC GY-HD200U

    I am looking at this particular camcorder, JVC GY-HD200U, and was wondering if there is any issues capturing footage into FCP6. Does any one own or worked with the JVC GY-HD200U or early model?
    share you thoughts about this camcorder if you have worked with it.
    much thanks

    Excuse my naivety here, but how does one go about importing HDV 720 as 'pro res'?
    Can this be done by changing the import / capture settings, or does it require transferring the material to HD?
    I'm using footage from my JVC HD GY100 in 24p. I've spent over a week trying to import the material into FCP through a JVC BR-HD50 deck with absolutely no luck, and it's getting really frustrating!!
    I'm dealing with over 80 tapes of footage, so I don't have the option of going through each tape and logging individual clips. I've been trying to import entire tapes at a time.
    I keep getting a 'stream error' prompt when attempting to capture.
    I've tried with both start / stop detect on and off, I've tried to 'capture now', which seems to work until the very end of the tape / capture, at which time another error is reported. I've also attempted to set in and out points a minute or two from the beginning and end of the tapes, then batch capture the logged tape. Again, no dice.
    Unfortunately I haven't had luck with anything, and I'm getting very frustrated.
    I'm not a professional editor, so perhaps I'm missing something very basic? I have no clue why this format is so difficult to import!! I've never spent over a week trying to figure out how to import footage!
    I don't care whether each tape I import is an entire tape or cut up into clips at time breaks, but I can't seem to get anything!!!
    I really appreciate anyone's suggestions here. I'm at my wits end.
    And again, I don't usually do this type of work, so if you could describe in detail any suggestions / solutions I would be very grateful. Many thanks.

  • Unable to "Log and Capture" with Canopus

    Hello all -
    Recently bought a Canopus ADVC700.
    Connected it to my Apple G4, running FCP HD 4.5 and to my Sony DSR20 VTR.
    Audio and video can be caputred using the "Capture Now" method, but I'm unable to log shots and then capture.
    Tried several work-araounds, using "Easy Setup" and "Capture Settings", but I have zero control on the Sony deck.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I've contacted Canopus and awaiting a reply...also checked their website to see if I needed a driver (which there appairently isn't one).
    Thanks!

    I kinda think you've configured this all wrong and Canopus is now part of Thomson/Grass Valley so I'm not at all surprised that the support on this product is a little, umm, lacking.
    I would try this to start and then start on other variations if it don't work.
    DSR20 - Firewire - ADVC700
    DSR20 - RS422 Dsub cable - ADVC700
    ADVC700 - Firewire - Apple G4
    FCP's capture/control configs should be set to firewire, logically.
    DSR20 control menu should be set to rs422
    ADVC700 should be set to rs422 control
    Thinking through what you have going on this sounds logical to me.
    I don't understand why you're using S-video between the DSR20 and the ADVC700. You're undergoing a conversion of DV25 to analog if you use S-Video as well as the bnc composite spigot and then converting back to DV25 in the 700.
    Do you need a frame sync or just RS422 control?
    Is there any reason you can't use a [Keyspan 28X|http://www.keyspan.com/products/usa28xg> with an [Addenda|http://www.addenda-elect.com/product.htm] Mac to RS422 cable? I used this set up for a long time on my G4 and it worked great with my JVC vtr.

  • Capture with Decklink HD Extreme HD 720p25 - correct settings?

    Hello!
    I want to capture footage from JVC HD 720p25 over composite connection with my Decklink HD Extreme.
    I use Final Cut Pro 6.0.4
    I want to capture it with the original HD 720p25 compression or a other simular quality compression.
    Please give me the right preset! I find only this preset : Blackmagic HDTV 720p50 JPEG!??
    A second question:
    Do you think that I`m on the right way, when I want to capture over composite?
    ...or should I capture over firewire??
    But I hope I will have a advantage with my decklink!?
    Thanx for your help
    Peter

    well you are shooting JVC's proprietary HDV variant ... if you want to capture the native MPEG-2 transport stream from the camera or deck then you need to capture via firewire. If you capture via component then the camera is decompressing the video data and sending that decompressed data down the wires to your Decklink where it is being recompressed to the target codec ... you might set the target codec to the same HDV variant that you shot but in capturing it as such you have pushed the signal through a full recompression cycle.
    if you've had troubles with capture of the JVC originated footage then you might find good info here:

  • I can capture with iMovie 6, but not with FCP 6.0 ('no data from device')

    I didn't have any problem with FCP 5, but am getting nowhere with FCP 6 using the same settings (I think). FCP seems to see the camcorder, but can't control it and, even if I manually start the camera, reports 'no data from device' when I do a 'Capture Now'. Device control isn't critical, but I'd sure like to find out why it doesn't see the data stream from the camera (Sony HDR-HC7 / FW400). I must be missing a setting some place, but sure can't find it. On the other hand, I have full device control and zero dropout capture with iMovie (exact same hardware configuration). Any ideas?

    so i'm confused now. does the sony dcr-trv not send a timecode? maybe, and this will explain the troubles. but on the other hand i imported successfully some footage with exact this device.
    maybe i used the canopus then to correct the timebase, i can't remember how i did it. but this would mean i have to accept loss of quality, since i have to connect the sony with s-vhs with the canopus and convert it.
    right now i'm importing a tape with imovie and will have a look how the result is, but as far as i remember, the audio has to be re-rendered when importing in fcpx…
    My finger is pointing to a Timecode issue.
    Is timecode enabled in the camera?
    Is it continuous on the tape?

  • Tethered Capture with 3.4.1 x64 and D7000

    Hello everybody,
    I am starting this discussion about issues with Tethered Capture with LR 3.4.1 and Nikon D7000.
    I tested the Capture on 3 different PCs: a Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and two Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    I can properly do capture with the 32bit version of LR, even thought I am no longer able to browse the files on the SD card after a shooting session with Tether. I suppose this has something to do with exclusive access priority, but this is actually not the big problem I am encountering.
    On Windows 7 x64 machines, it appears LR 64bit is not able to do Tethered Capture as in the capture window I only see "No camera detected".
    I did a search on the Internet and I found just a few examples of this issue with apparently no explanation or solutions, but I think this is a general problem as it happens on two different Windows 7 x64 installations, but not on the 32bit one.
    My D7000 already has the latest firmware installed and I already tried different USB cables to be sure this is not a hardware malfunction.
    I am now really lost to this problem and I do not know how to proceed in troubleshooting or solving it.
    Anybody can help?
    Thanks a lot and have a nice day

  • HELP! Can't capture with FCE4

    I went today to a Mac Store to try FCE4 armed with my Canon XHA1... and couldn't capture at all. It says on the product description that it supports HDV format (the one I used with my camera) but still didn't find a way around. Is there something I'm missing? Can I capture with FCE4? Is there something I need to do in terms of setup either with the software or the camera?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    If there was a dialog message from the application it would be good to know exactly what that said and when that message appeared. The Apple Intermediate Codec is installed with QuickTime. If you do not have that the system was not properly installed. Perhaps you used a setting on the camera which is not compatible with FCE. What exact settings did you using on the camera? What exact settings are you using in FCE? Is the camera set to output what you shot. Many HDV cameras will downconvert so they output a DV version of your media. With minimum information there is no way anyone can help you. Please give complete information about your system and settings and drives and how everything's connected.

  • Strange Problem capturing with Apple Intermediate Codec

    We have the following problem:
    We capture with a blackmagic decklink studio card (but I could reproduce the same problem using a MacBook Pro and the internal camera) with a MacPro and CS4. When capturing a live video feed (1280x720) with the apple intermediate codec (set to 29.97fps or to 59.94fps) everything seems to work just fine. But the resulting videoclips happen to be exactly ONE half of the total capture time. So if we capture in Premiere for about 1 our the clip is only 30 minutes long. If we capture for 10 sec., the clip will be 5 sec. long. It's not that the captured clips play with double the framerate. Half of the actual footage is missing.
    Any suggestions?
    By the way: we live in a PAL50Hz country, but our video signal that needs to be recorded comes in as a 60hz signal.

    Hi,
    Well I did some googling...and I would bet that the problem is the 50hz vs 60hz...
    Unfortunately most if not all info I got that even BRUSHES on this subject with the sort of material you're dealing with is the opposite....where they are in 60cycle land with pal stuff....rather than in pal land dealing with 60hz ...
    This is a lot of misc stuff but if you get a little bit of info from various posts and make some notes you might be able to get an idea how to solve the problem...
    In particular I was looking at how frames are flagged and new frames are created later ...( toward very end of these posts - the last four or so )
    Also noted some timecode reading that was "doubled"....so if your deck thought you had a specific length and then it read the timecode doubled, it would be your problem in a nutshell...  have you checked the last frame you captured and compare that timecode to the overall length ??
    anyway, here is a TON of stuff to breeze through...good luck...
    THIS IS EDIUS RELATED..so keep in mind re: specific presets etc

    Hi chaps,
    Can I just confirm that the SDI/HDMI outputs are only live in build 14? I'm on 13 and going SDI - HDLINK - DELL24" gives me nothing. I'm in PAL land so have tried switching between 50hz and 59hz in camera.
    So do I need build 14 or is it something else?
    Cheers

    Hi Steve,
    I believe so. Set to Preview in th viewfinder settings, plugged in on preview mini sdi, cam set to 50hz..
    Anything I'm missing?
    Cheers
    To counter this, the AJ-HD1400 offers two modes specifically for this called '25(SD)' and '25(HD)'. They output the 25fps signal with new timecode on a 50Hz carrier (only over SDI/Analogue the Firewire doesn't work in that mode).
    It only works with 25fps material too, any other 'offspeed' rate has to be dealt with separately with the deck operating in 59/60 mode.
    When operating in either of these 25 modes, the deck generates new 25fps timecode from the tape (although our tests have indicated that it is frame accurate of multiple playback passes).
    Basically, Varicam, while a very nice idea, has only ever been properly designed to work in a 60Hz environment. It is pretty much a nightmare in 50Hz environments.
    I think I may have found the cause of the problem.
    For some reason when I started my project it had a Device Control profile set to 720p50 (rather than the 1080i50 that the deck is operating in).
    What this seems to have done is double the frame number on any clip it encountered. So if I took a clip with in marked at 01:02:40:22 and dropped it in the Log and Capture tool the In Point that FCP decided to look for was 01:02:40:44 (which isn't going to exist on a 25fps timecode obviously).
    Since you are using Pal
    Go :
    Generic OHCI HD 50hz -> 960x720 25p over 60p
    Because if I am right you can't do Pal over 60hz but you can do PAL over 60P at 50hz.
    ( but I could be wrong)
    But the other problem is that you are using an ntsc profile to capture pal recorded footage.
    50 hz 960x720 over 60P yields a frame rate of 25 progressive
    60 hz 960x720 59.94p yields a frame rate of 59.94 progressive which is far from your original footage . Mostly used for countries using natively ntsc
    Neither myself, nor Ricksta (I don't think) are using NTSC-rate profiles.
    The Preset setting I've been testing with is:
    Generic OHCI HD 50Hz 960x720 25p over 60p
    Indeed, I've just tried what Rick mentioned, and with the deck in 59.94Hz operating frequency, I can capture with all three 720p 59/60 input settings. This is technically wrong however, as the tape has been recorded at 60Hz. But like I said before, until Rick hears from the big geeks at Panasonic about this, I don't know what the real outcome of that difference in frequency is.
    I've also tried a 50p over 60p project setting (as 720p50 is what I will be editing with in Avid) - but, predictably, this works but gives me double-speed footage. Which, while amusing, isn't a lot of help for me
    A large part of the problem I'm facing here is to do with the Varicam format. It will record any framerate from 1-60fps. It has to operate and a system-frequency of 59.94Hz or 60Hz. That is what Rick and I are referring to. The limitation I face is that the Varicam format is not widely supported for PAL-based rates (25/50) as it requires communication with a deck operating in an NTSC-based system frequency (either 60Hz or 59.94Hz). This difference (between project/timeline framerates, and deck operating frequencies) is enough to ensure that IEEE1394/Firewire/OHCI capture is not possible in these modes in Final Cut Pro, Avid (any version) or any other NLE I have found.
    We realise that the framerate and frequency we're working in has to be 50-based, and we're not making any mistakes in that respect.
    So far Edius is the only NLE on the market, that I have been able to find, that supports Firewire capture from 60Hz DVCPro HD material in a 50Hz based framerate.
    When you have captured the file in that project select a clip in the bin press alt+enter go to video info and tell me what the framerate is .
    In a 50p over 60p project, when I capture footage shot 25p over 60 with the 'Constant Rate' capture profile I get a clip in the bin that is 50fps, but that plays at doubletime - which is what I'd expect.
    I can change the framerate in the properties to 50fps, and it plays at the correct rate, but I'm not happy with the way to refactors the timing in that mode. It seems to create interpolated frames to fill the gaps, which provide an unusual appearance that I don't really like.
    At present if I capture into 25p over 60p project, then import the resulting 25p footage into Avid, Avid doubles up the frames to produce 50fps material.
    Some clarification here. The Varicam does indeed record at a constant 60fps. If the frame rate is set to 25fps for example it simply flags the active frames. This flag is carried in the vertical interval data. The reason for this system, is as suggested, it is very difficult to vary the speed of tape in a helical scan recording system. With the advent of solid state recording that Panasonic introduced in the AG-HVX200 it is now possible of course to only record the active (native) frames and this would be called 25pn for example.
    Originally with the Varicam you used to use a device called a Frame Rate Converter. This box contained a hard drive with HD-SDI I/O. It would recognize the active "flagged" frames in the incoming signal and buffer them through the hard drive and then play them out at the correct frame rate.
    More recently NLE's such as Avid, FCP and Edius have incorporated this flagged frame recognition and perform the extraction automatically. Thus when I tested a 25fps Varicam ingest on a 25 Frame timeline I am getting realtime playback. If I had recorded at 50fps and I placed that on a 25 frame timeline I would have very smooth half speed. Also the newer DVCPRO HD decks such as the AJ-HD1700 and AJ-HD1400 have the ability to decode "on-speed" frame rates such as 30fps, 25fps and 24fps.
    The issue that Dylan is facing is that the NLE's will not accept a firewire input at 60Hz, they only accept it at 59.94, this is a .001 frequency difference and should be negligible. The other alternative is to ingest via HD-SDI via a Black Magic or AJA Kona card etc. These boards also support the variable frame rate function.
    I hope that this helps clear things up a little.
    Rick Haywood

    Further to what Rick is saying... The issues with most NLEs for PAL users is the disparity between the 59.94/60Hz operating frequency of the deck and the 50Hz based framerates the applications are working with in PAL framerates.
    As for the constant 60fps - it is indeed recording 60 images per second to a tape, but as I said before, only a certain number are unique - only the flagged frames. In 25fps, the camera samples the sensor 25 times a second and records that frame to tape. Essentially you get frame 1 recorded for 2 frames, frame 2 recorded for the next three frames, frame 3 recorded for 2 frames, etc... The first frame with each unique image is 'flagged'. To rebuild the recorded framerate, only the flagged images are captured.
    The big bonus of Edius for me here is that it can capture the PAL framerates from the 59.94Hz deck over Firewire directly. Something that Avid and FCP are unable to do.

  • Problem capturing with PD170

    Hi there.
    I just bought a sony pd170, I have been using Final Cut for months and capturing with my old camera (A miniDV (really small) JVC camcorder) with no problem.
    But now, im trying to capture using my PD170, and in the preview windows I dont see a thing, when a click play there, the program stops working until I press stop (on the camera).
    When I click capture, the black window comes visible, the camera plays, but the window says "locaing timecode", and seems to stop working until I disconnect the camero from he computer.
    PLEASE HELP me, and sorry for my english.
    BYE...
    iMacG5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   I Love IT!

    If the pd-170 does not capture in iMovie, the problem is likely the camera. iMovie does not use Quicktime and is about as basic a file transfer as possible.
    Try this:
    Turn everything off-
    Plug in the pd-170 to the computer and turn the camera on
    turn on the computer
    Go to the blue apple in the upper left corner of the menu bar and select "About this Mac" (or the equivilent if you are not running english as the main language)
    Then select "more info"
    Look for the item "Hardware>firewire"
    You should see a listing for the camera. If it does not appear, your camera is not being found by the computer. since your other camera does work, it is highly likely you have a firewire port issue with the camera. If that is the case, it is time to have the camera checked out by a service center.
    FWIW - Hot swapping (aka plugging and unplugging cameras with both the computer and the camera running) can fry a port.

  • FCP5 compatible with HDV & JVC ProHD?

    I have Final Cut Pro 5 and it will not recognize my JVC BR-HD50 tape deck.
    The deck is connected to the computer through IEEE1394 fire wire at the front of the tower.
    iMovieHD is able to recognize the deck and plays the image.
    Although FCP5 physically recognizes the deck, it is not playing in "log and capture" mode. In this mode I can operate the deck but there is neither sound nor image.
    The footage has been shot in 720p30 using a JVC GY-HD100U camera with a HDV and DV tapes.
    Also, I have downloaded LumiereHD, both versions, because it is understood that this program was designed to link between JVC's ProHD mode and FCP. LumiereHD does not recognize the deck at all.
    How do I get FCP5 to fully recognize my JVC deck so I can log and capture and edit in FCP5?
    Where am I going wrong?
    I would greatly appreciate it if someone will help me troubleshoot the problem. THANK YOU!

    Well, I've made some tests with the new firmware.
    It's VTR CPU 101.
    I've recorded a 1 hour tape, captured it, and the clips were only split by start/stop detection, so there were no "broken" clips.
    Tried re-capturing footage already recorded before the firmware update and it's still being split.
    The tape deck, although it didn't have the firmware updated, produced the same results as capturing with the camera: clips not broken.
    So, it seems that, at least for PAL cameras (don't know if it's the same firmware for NTSC ones) JVC find the solution.

  • Capturing with QuickTime Pro?

    I have much problems with capturing in FCE: missing frames, out of sync audio, one cassette ok - the second with problems.
    Now I capture with QuickTime Pro and import in FCE.
    Is this procedure ok?

    Excuse me, I forgot: several miniDV cassettes from two different cameras. The camera I use for capturing is yet another (Medion MD 9090) camera.
    With iMovie there is no problem to capture but I have learned this is not the right way.
    With QuickTime Pro there is also no problem, so I use it now.
    Can there any problems using QTP for capturing instead of using FCE?

  • Will FCP capture with this?

    will a Sony GV-D300 Video walkman capture with FCP on leopard?
    http://www.freetradephoto.com/SonyGV-D300Videowalkman.htm

    I've had similar problems with short duration (less than 10 mins) DVDs from HDV from a JVC camera and H264 from Canon HD DSLR edited in Apple ProRes SQ.
    After much mucking about with settings, and I'm not absolutely sure why this works I found the best results were obtained by first of Exporting a Quicktime from FCP with same settings.
    Bring this version into Compressor, use the "DVD Best Quality 90 mins" setting but change the settings to "One Pass VBR Best". You can raise the "Average bit rate" slightly but don't play with the maximum bit rate, this can cause problems with some DVD players, and not necessarily the one you are using for testing.
    Get yourself some re-writeable DVD-RWs for testing.
    For me the results of using these settings on short duration DVD productions are enormous, the 2 Pass created results comparable to VHS quality. It was more like cooking and trying different herbs and spices to flavour the meal. Don't get me started on compression and delivery for the web...

    Hi,
    System takes only single excise invoice in system.
    here i suggest wat u can do ( very tricky)
    for first goods receipt excise invoice is 123
    then u cant give same for other GR it will give an error at this time u can provide excise invoice as (123.).
    Means one dot at beginnig or at the end.
    Note : Hence forth for same excise invoice u should have only one GR.
