Converting a HDV project to HDCAM?

I have a project that I am finishing in FCS2 - I used the Apple HDV codec. I need to convert it to HDCAM but know nothing about the process. I didn't see anything in the forum. Could anyone tell me what I need to do to convert?
Thanks!

HDCAM isn't a codec....it is a tape format. What you need to do is rent an HDCAM deck, buy an HD capture card and output to HDCAM. Or take your HDV project...or outputted file...to a post facility with FCP and an HDCAM deck and have them output it.
I output HDV all the time to HDCAM SR. Twice a week.

  • Problem HDV project

    I have a problem with HDV project because I can't export to HDV tape if I don't first convert it to DV PAL.
    I have a Sony VTR HDV and I work with Final Cut Pro (Final Cut Studio 2).The project is HDV 1080/50i.I would like to export it to HDV tape.

    Help will come to you faster if you answer any questions asked.
    Did you read the post in the link?
    Anthony J. Howe gives a good breakdown of the menu in the HDV deck.
    Do you have the same one as mentioned there?
    As far as FCP goes, if your sequence settings and your output settings match,
    then all that´s left is your record device.
    If it´s not set to receive the matching signal, then it won´t record it.
    Check everything.
    Starting from your sequence settings, to your deck.

  • Are jpg's okay for an HDV project?

    I'm working on a 60-minute HDV project in PP3.  In addition to ~50 minutes of HDV footage, I have ~150 still images.
    To prepare the images before import to PP3, I do the following:
    * open the RAW image from Adobe Bridge...perform edits in Adobe Camera Raw...save as PSD file
    * open the PSD file in PShop...resize the image to ~1440x1080 pixels...sometimes larger if I expect to zoom in
    * save it as a JPG with a quality setting between 9 and 12 so that the resulting file size is between close to 1MB...never more than 2MB.
    I specifically avoid importing image files as PSD files, since they are usually 4 MB and up in size.
    Comments, please.

    Hunt,
    Thanks for your continued help and for taking the time to be so thorough in your postings.
    I read your Article with great interest.  Based on your attention to image quality and the importance of preserving the original files, I can tell that we're cut from the same cloth.  I also come to the video world from still photography and am sensitive to those issues.
    Re: your most recent post...I agree completely about testing the quality difference between PSD and JPG files.  There have been times when I have animated layers in a PSD and have needed that capability...but that was in an SD project, not an HDV project.  It was a family history movie which ran over an hour, including the extra features.  It was a combination of jpg stills (~200) and SD video.  I had no performance issues with my PP3 configuration.
    But my HDV project seems fragile by comparison.  My first 25-minute HDV project took ~6 minutes to load and caused frequent (Not Responding) semi-crashes.  I also learned the hard way that using MP3 audio files caused render failures and crashes (not experienced in my SD project).  Replacing all audio soundtrack files with WAV files has helped...but I am not too trusting of the systems' capabilities.  I have initiated a fresh project to continue work on the same production.  Since this is for personal consumption (not client work), I can live with having my Europe Trip production parsed, although I hope to combine them into one HDV project at the end with a run time of ~ 1 hour.
    I render the project(s) to MPEG2 files using the the Adobe Media Encoder and use a Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player to serve an HDMI signal to my 46" TV.  I am very pleased (stunned, actually) with the fidelity of the images...what an improvement over seeing one's work rendered down to SD.  I highly recommend it...the WD player is only $100 on Amazon...much cheaper than going Apple TV (max 720p) or with Blue Ray burning and playback.  I'm happy to provide my AME settings if you're interested.
    To the topic of proper scaling - maintaining circles than want to morph into ovals...
    This is only a recent problem for me.  In an effort to make my project as lean as possible, I took some advice offered on the Creative Cow PP forum to scale images to 1440x1080.  That prompted me to use PS3 to do that scaling (using Rectangular Marquee+Crop, or simply the Crop Tool) with settings entered into the Tools' parameters.  As I began to import these into my HDV project, I noticed that some images were being stretched on the horizontal axis.
    That prompted me to experiment by creating a perfect circle of black on a white background in PS, trying difference Scaling and Save As options, and evaluating the results after import into PP.  Frankly, that has been a mind twister.  The same PSD file, when Saved as a JPG, exhibits the stretched behavior...go figure that one.  That has led me to the wonderful world of PAR settings...again, experiments on that circle document have had unexpected results.  At this point, I have some interest in figuring it all out, but am pressed with a Thanksgiving deadline on my Europe Trip production.
    In brief, my original workflow is as follows:
    * open the image (use raw converter for global adjustments and save as PSD)
    * if images from the pt&shoot are used, skip the raw work but open in PS3, as below
    * use PS3 to adjust for composition, lighting, etc. and save as a PSD
    * make a copy to be used for the video project only
    * open those copies...assess how much zooming I'm likely to want...use Image Size to downsize/resample the longest dimension accordingly
    * use Save As to compress to a JPG file of ~ 1 Mb...max of 2 Mb.  With possibly 200+ images in an already fragile project, I feel it's essential...and the JPG's display very well all the way through to the WD TV and the TV
    In the spirit of getting this project finished, I am going to abandon the "proper scaling" efforts with 1440 parameters and go back to my original plan.
    I'm tempted to write up the workflow in a bit more detail and call it "The Survival Guide for Handling Still Images in Premiere".  Hunt, your Article was the first thorough discussion I could find on any forum...I'm wondering why I couldn't find it earlier...my loss.  It's a shame that the Adobe User Manual and other books like the PP3 Bible don't spend much time at all on advising folks on how to handle still images.  In books that are hundreds of pages long, you'd think a page or two could be devoted to it.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Can I convert my VBA project to some sort of batch submitted executable

    Thanks to the help from you all, I have written VBA macros that open huge word documents and pluck out specific information and put it into Excel.  The files I've received have grown in size from 1500 to 3500 pages.  I'm currently running the VBA
    macros by opening the document in word and then clicking "View....Macros...mymacro....Run.  The macro then runs for any where from 10 minutes to 2 hours.
    Is there a way I can convert my VBA project into some sort of executable so that I can "submit" the word file to the executable? Sometimes I run this on a term server.  I'd like to start the job, log off the term server, and then later
    check for the resulting excel file.
    Is there a way to queue up a list of input files for this?

    Hi Denis Backer,
    >>Can I convert my VBA project to some sort of batch submitted executable<<
    Yes, it is possible. We can write an application to automate open the Word documents and run the macro using
    Application.Run. Also we can convert all the VBA project with mange code, however the Office automation is not supported on the server enviroment.
    Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of
    Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client
    application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services),
    because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run
    in this environment.

  • I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio t

    I need to output a PAL HDV project from FCP as a PAL DV file with 4 audio tracks - specifically one stereo pair to be t1&t3, the other stereo pair to be t2&t4. This is the standard way requested by an international distributor of tv programmes. I understand how to set the sequence in FCP to output 4 audio tracks - either 2 stereo pairs (1&2, + 3&4), or 4 discrete tracks. But how do I then output this as a QT file?
    The manual tells me that to export multiple audio tracks, File>Export>QT Movie has it's Config pop-up menu in the Audio Settings area of the General tab of the Sequence Settings. Well, that's set for 4 discrete channels, but the QT export settings only allow for 2 mono or 1 stereo output, and that's what I get when I try it. What it says in the manual just doesn't happen.
    Exporting via Compressor, on the other hand, has an abundance of choices of 4-track outputs, none of which are labelled as anything resembling 'discrete'. Would any of those 4.0 settings suffice? Or am I likely to get myself into difficulties further down the line? As I am monitoring for this task on a 2-track audio system, I cannot confirm exactly what I am getting when I use any of those settings.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    John

    Call me naive, but I've not heard of splitting the stereo pairs like this before.
    What broadcaster? (perhaps one of our EU regulars will drop in...)
    You can do all sorts of pairing but it is coincident tracks pairing- eg 1/2 + 3/4
    Sorry I can't offer anything.

  • How to convert my NTSC project to PAL?

    Hi! I'd like know how i can convert my ntsc project into PAL.
    I need finish a DVD for my client take to ANGOLA and there is PAL system.It is possible? My Encore is 2.0.
    Or It is possible put my NTSC movie into PAL project and let encore transcode the movie? Thank you very much and sorry my english.

    You have several options.
    1 - Create a new PAL project in Premiere Pro. Capture your footage in the usual manner, and as soon as it is in the project, hit the ENTER key to render it.
    2 - Create an NTSC project in Premiere Pro, capture to NTSC DV footage, and export it out again.
    Close project.
    Create new PAL project, import the NTSC clip & then interpret/conform the footage to the project settings.
    3 - Set up an NTSC project, capture footage, export to PAL DV or MPEG-2 from Premiere.
    4 - Use TMPGEnc Xpress 4 - it's standards conversion is very good.
    5 - Use ProCoder, as Ruud suggests
    6 - Use CCE SP if you have it.
    I'd try as many different ways as you can, and view the lot to see what looks the best.

  • Advice on exporting PPCS3 HDV Project to file for WD TV player

    I would like to maintain HD quality through the Export process to create a file that will be played on a Western Digital TV HD Media Player.  I have tried a multiple of export settings without success.  My goal is to play back using the WD TV player with the file stored on a USB drive...file size is not an issue.
    I capture the HDV footage from a Canon HV30 camcorder into PremProCS3
    I use the Project Settings preset = HDV, HDV 1080i30 (60i)
    I have stabbed around with Export, Movie... as well as with the Adobe Media Encoder and can't find the magic
    When I capture/edit in iMovie09 on a MacBookPro, I can easily export to a .m4v which plays back in great HD quality on my 46" TV via the WD TV player.  But I can't seem to find the right preset or custom setting within Premiere Pro to get the job done.  I greatly prefer the PP editing environment and want to stick with it.
    The attached jpg file is a scan from the WD TV User Manual...supported video formats.
    Thanks, in advance.

    HP Desktop E6750 Core 2 Duo, 2 Gb, dual internal SATA drives, GeForce 8500GT, 30" LCD monitor, Vista Home Premium, Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

    Hey, I'm glad I found you guys.  This problem has been messing up my workflow for over a year.  Maybe you can help:
    I'm shooting HDV with Sony HD1000, capturing with HDV split, editing in Premiere.  (So far, so good)  Problem is, exporting from premiere (HDV 60i project) produces "squashed" and letter-boxed video, and my graphics and titles are "mis-aligned" with the video.  It's like premiere scales down my video files, letter-boxes them, but leaves graphics untouched, which of course throws everything off.  My only work around is to edit in an NTSC project, and scale down every single video clip myself, which yields lots of rendering.  I thought I solved the problem, by importing the entire premiere project into after effects.  Export worked great, no loss of quality, but after effects doesn't recognize premiere time-remapping, titles or wipe transitions (and has issues with .m2t audio)!
    I've tried every form of exporting from an hdv project  (adobe media encoder, straight to encore).  ALWAYS squashes and letter-boxes the video files, while leaving the graphics/titles as is (now appearing larger than they did in the program monitor and less crisp.)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I love premiere for standard dv, I just can't get around this obstacle with HDV...

  • SD Footage in HDV Project Anyone

    has anyone here ever included *SD(720x480 DV)footage* in a *HDV project?* I have massive amounts on footage captured in SD from my Sony VX1000. I would like to move forward by editing all my projects in HDV format, which will include the DV footage. I downloaded a trial from BorisFX called "UpRez" that is supposed to take SD footage and make them work wihin the HDV format. My questions are:
    1: Has anyone used the BorisFX "UpRez" plugin and does it really work
    2: Is there a plugin bundled with FCP 6.x that does the same thiing
    3: Can a HDV project playback on a SD meduim
    4: If not can compressor "downsize" my HDV project to play back on SD mediums
    Thanks in Advance

    As far as I know in 2009 all things will be digital, not necessarily HD. But if you want to keep you HDV timeline, though I would recommend transcoding to ProRes because of HDVs long-gop, I have had some success with using Compressor to upRes SD footage to use in an HD timeline. Using the frame controls use best for the resizing filter and deinterlace filter. Be aware that this will take quite a bit of time, depending on how beefy your machine is. Although, I've only been going as far as 720p. 1080 sizes will really hinder the look of the SD footage.
    If you want to keep all you edits in HD, simply downconvert your finished edit using compressor to SD and encode your MPEG 2 files. You'll just have to decide if you want to crop the sides of your 16:9 footage to a 4:3 or letterbox the 16:9 into a 4:3 frame.
    hope this helps.

  • Converting RoboHelp7 FlashHelp project to RoboHelp8

    Hi!  Was looking for some best practices regarding converting existing help projects (FlashHelp) from RoboHelp 7 to RoboHelp 8. What you need to copy down so that you can verify and if necessary, recreate in RH8. Also, what major differences in just basic functions should I be aware of?
    Reason I'm asking is because I've been doing some testing and have noticed that my some of my applied styles are not coming across correctly. Normal style is being changed from Verdana 9pt to Times Roman 12pt.  Numbered lists have 12pt Times Roman numbers and rest of paragraph is Verdana 9pt.
    In the attached css file, I'm seeing Kadov styles, which is strange because this project was created in RH7.
    In addition, the ftp information that I had set up in the Primary Source Layout did not get copied over into RH8. Is that common because now I have to make sure that I've got it all copied down (which I do) but it would have been nice if it just imported during the conversion.
    Another thing that I noted in the Primary Source Layout window after I converted my project was the "enable substring search" check box. Selecting this check box seems to really slow down the generation of my project when it gets to the Full Text Search process.
    So basically, I'm asking for a handy-dandy checklist of what to check before you convert and things to review after the conversion.

    As you realise, RH7 CSS files should not have kadov so my guess is somewhere along the line, a backup from an earlier version got applied and missed the upgrade. Doesn't really matter how, we are where we are.
    First make a backup of the CSS that you posted and then strip out all the kadov definitions so that you can see the definitions that apply. That should not affect the output as it is now but at least you will be able to read the CSS.
    Where normal is showing as TNR, look at the HTML. Is the <P> tag applied?
    The list problem is because no font is set for the OL tag.
    You also have two definitions of the P tag, maybe others with a conflict?
    Your CSS needs a tidy up as the first step. Try Top Style, there is a free version and it is widely regarded as THE editor for CSS files.
    I don't think we lost our publish details but we don't use them with FTP.
    I am not surprised the sub-string search takes longer. It has more work to do would be my guess. Only Adobe can confirm that. I haven't seen anyone else comment on the additional time.
    Handy dandy list? Sorry it doesn't work that way. Every project and author will be different so what might affect one will be OK for another. It's trial and error.

  • How achieve highest playback quality from shared iMovie HDV Project?

    I have a Sony HDR-HC9 1080i HDV tape camcorder and I am able to play back HD video to either a Mac computer or to a Panasonic Full HD 1080p TV. Playback quality of unedited HD holiday video footage to TV using HDMI cable and to the computer via Firewire is superb. This excellent playback quality is also preserved in an edited iMovie Project in HDV format 57 minutes long and 48 GB in size which I made from the original 90 minutes holiday video footage.
    The problems arose in trying to preserve this high quality when sharing the iMovie Project. Before I bought this HDV camcorder I had a Sony DV tape camcorder and I always used to make an archive tape from an edited DV Project by exporting the iMovie Project back to tape. However, when attempting to do the same with this latest HDV 48 GB Project the computer message informed me that it would take about 43 hours to do this. So that is out of the question!
    Next I decided to make a Quicktime movie from the iMovie HDV Project using Full Quality compression via Apple Intermediate Codec (1440 x 1080). This took 12 hours to do! Computer viewing of the resultant 44 GB movie gave excellent image sharpness in still views, but for views of moving objects and also panned footage from the camera, closer viewing showed fine comb-outlining on most objects, but especially on narrow vertical objects. Is this what some of you call "jaggies" and is it an interlacing artifact? Whatever it is it was NOT in the iMovie Project but was introduced by the compression process Project->>Movie. Still worse was the jerky playback of the movie. The "IMovie Inspector" info confirmed that the movie had been made during the compression process at 25 frames per second whereas playback was in the range of only 3 to 10 fps! Previously made shorter Quicktime HD movies have not shown this jerky playback and played at 25 fps. Can anyone explain why this jerky playback occurred with the the longer 44GB movie?
    Finally I made a DVD by dragging the uncompressed iMovie HD Project icon directly onto a DVD theme in iDVD and burning. The result was OK on both the computer and on TV but not great. Close viewing on the computer showed an effect which looked like a thin film of water rippling horizontally. This effect also showed in TV viewing of the DVD. Interestingly, this effect was almost eliminated when "Deinterlace" was UNCHECKED in the iDVD player viewing options.
    My own conclusion is that the highest quality for archiving and playback is achieved by storing the large edited iMovie HDV PROJECT on an external hard drive and playing it back at full screen size on the Mac computer. In this way the iMovie editing functions such as the Timeline are hidden from view and cause no distraction when watching the superb HDV quality.
    IS THERE A BETTER WAY?
    Please comment and advise.

  • Problems with exporting my first HDV project

    Hello everybody
    When I want to export my 30 min HDV project it takes forever around 10-15 hours. When I finally got a self-contained quicktime movie file exported. It does not play in anything but FCP. Why is it so slow and how can I make it go faster?
    I have a Macbook 1, 83 ghz 1 gb ram and FCP 5.0 the video is compressed to HDV1080i50.
    Rendering is finished.
    Thanksful for help
    /David

    Without wanting to spell it out to you, yes, as the other guys have correctly interpreted, the article highlights the fact that HDV is processor/RAM intensive, and it seems to me that your system just hasn't got the grunt to make HDV a fluid format to work in... One of the main hassles is the re-conforming of the GOP structure (HDV is an mpeg2 type format) when exporting HDV sequences, which is why many people capture/transcode to a full i-frame format to avoid GOP structures all together.
    Without meaning to seem rude or brush off your original enquiry, there is loads of information on the forum about pro's/cons of HDV... a simple search will help you out.
