Correct settings for DVCPro HD capture

I shot a short film on an HDX900 in 1080i 24P/60. Looking at the choices for capturing into my FCP 4.5 HD, the easy setup wants to capture at:
Frame Size: 1920X1080 HDTV 1080i (16X9)
29.97 fps (grayed out)
Anamorphic: 16X9 unchecked
Digitizer: (Missing) DVCPro HD (1080i/60)
If I switch the frame size to DVCPro HD 1080i/60 the resolution changes to 1280X1080 and it can't be modified.
Question 1: Was I supposed to trust the Preset here and don't change anything?
Same issues with the default Sequence Preset. It wants:
Frame Size: 1280X1080 DVCPro HD 1080i/60
29.97 fps (can be changed)
Anamorphic 16X9 is checked
Field Dominance: Upper(Odd)
Timecode Rate: Same as editing timebase
Renderin 8-bit YUV
Question 2: Is this correct in matching the captured footage?

Thanks.
I trust them...I just find it odd that the defaults for capture and editing are different. Why is 1280X1080 the default for the sequence? Why am I changing 60i(59.94 I'll assume) to 29.97?

  • Correct settings for HDV capture

    Hi. I'm using Premiere CS5.5. I went on a few forums to get the correct settings for HDV capture.
    I can record the footage fine. However I saw a few things which didn't seem right.
    After capturing the HDV footage, the file was a .mpeg file. Secondly, the clip was 1 hour and 10 minutes and
    it was only 11.3 GB. Does this sound right? A 55 minute .avi file is 11.6GB. I thought a HDV clip would be quite a large size file.
    If this dosen't sound right, is there somewhere I could go to, to check that my settings are correct? By the way I'm filming and capturing with a Canon XHA1.
    The footage is 1080i. HDV. I've exported it and it looks fine. Just want to make sure I've captured it correctly and to the best quality.
    Thanks for your help.

    The HDV format was advanced by Sony and others to use the same miniDV tapes used for SD.  In fact, your Canon XHAI can record and play either without changing the tape transport speed.
    Your observation in relative file sizes is due to the fact that HDV is highly compressed (MPEG), whereas, SD (AVI) is not as highly compressed.  This is one of the reasons folks (such as Harm) don't consider HDV to be an edit format, but just a delivery format.
    Note that what Harm was saying is symantics--you capture an analog source through a capture card that digitizes it.  When you transfer a image file from HDV or SD, it is already digitized, so a bit-to-bit transfer occurs.

  • What are the correct settings for the Canon 5D mark II in FCP 7 ?

    I am shooting full HD at 23s97 fps.. tried making a preset for the Canon but when I import fils FCP always wants to change to appropriate settings for this file type but doesn't tell me what that is...
    (latest firmware installed)
    Please, can someone provide all the correct settings for me?
    And also, why doesn't the camera show up on the desktop/in the menus when attached to the mac? I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera... and FCP doesn't see it either. That's just not right - FCP MUST recognise my camera!! : (
    Please help - I don't want to start editing until I have the right settings for this footage.
    Thanks
    Jim

    Welcome to the Boards
    Not sure what you mean with the following, looks like a word dropped?
    I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera...
    Anyway, some more specs on your system could help point where the issue is. With the new Plug-In by Canon you can Log & Transfer from the Flash Card (not sure how you connected the camera.) Alternatively you could just drag the files in (but make sure to keep all files such as THM in case you use Log and Transfer later.)
    Generally it is best to transcode to Pro Res to be able to work with the files in Final Cut. (Log & Transfer should do that, or using Compressor/Mpeg Streamclip.)
    It (Final Cut) is probably changing the timeline to match the codec, or depending on your last preset used, just switching things around. In other words if you were editing in DV and had a set up for that, new sequences would default to that and if you try to ad anything else you will get the message.
    Take a look at the search over there -> to look for the Canon 5D threads for some more info.
    What I would do is just pull one of the clips in to start and look at what the sequence settings are aftr Final Cut changes them for you - they should be fine generally, though you will want to change Codecs to Pro Res.
    I like just batch conversion of all my clips from the 5D Markk II and then work from there. (I do not hook up the camera to the computer, just use a card reader.)

  • Which are the correct settings for gmail in MacBookPro

    I want to use mac mail to access my gmail. Can I  ? instead of going directly to web to access my gmail.? Which are the correct settings for the incoming and outgoing servers ?

    Hi,
    Yes. You can absolutely access your Gmail account from within either Mail or Microsoft Outlook for Mac. Make sure, that you have enabled POP/IMAP in your Gmail settings, then follow the instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180188 if you wish to access your account via POP3 instead of IMAP, change the incoming mail server to pop.gmail.com

  • Correct settings for DVD

    Hi
    I wish to know which are the correct settings for making a new project in imovie and then what to do for getting the best quality on DVD. (I use still pictures and video clips with music, transitions and effects)
    Thank you so much.

    ola
    the correct format depends on the format your camera (PAL or NTSC - 4:3 or 16:9) meaning the project format should meet the camera format. pleas note that that format changes in iMovie/iDVD are effective only for new projects and cannot change existing ones. the dvd quality settings depend on the length of your movie and can be set in iDVD under preferences.
    my movies are never longer than 30 min. so i set it to faster encoding and check background encoding ... i also tried with best quality once but frankly i can't see the difference

  • HT1277 i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline

    i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline can anyone help

    If you can receive mail and your connection to your ISP is otherwise working, but cannot send mail, then your SMTP settings are incorrect; the SMTP server port is wrong, your SSL setting is wrong, or the username or password credentials don't match what the ISP has, or your attempted accesses are being blocked or your ISP SMTP server is offline.
    And in general, don't use port 25 for your outbound mail, unless your ISP specifically requires that; these days, that port is best left to communications between mail servers and (usually) not used by any mail clients.

  • AE Composistion Settings for DVCPRO HD footage?

    Slightly unrelated but giving it a shot anyways .
    I have some DVCPRO HD footage. Here's the clip settings for it (digitized using Final Cut Pro).
    Vid Rate: 23.98 fps, Frame Size 960 x 720, Compressor DVC PRO HD 720p60, Data Rate 5.5 MB/sec, Pixel Aspect DVCPRO HD (720p60).
    In After Effects, what should my composition settings be? Or should I be going for a specific preset? Using After Effects 6.0, doesn't have a DVCPRO HD preset.

    I'm not familiar with any of the formats, nor how they compare with each other when put side by side. I'm guessing whatever I get from my After Effects composition would be compatible with what's in my FCP timeline. I'm actually asking this on behalf of the editor who is also new to these new HD-related formats. Not exactly sure of his timeline settings, but when he puts in his DVCPRO HD footage, there's no rendering required. So I guess Final Cut's DVCPRO HD preset settings? If FCP has such a preset that is.
    Even better would be if I could somehow export a lossless clip that I could put into my FCP timeline and render out perfectly fine. Example i'm more familiar with: using clips with no compression in DV NTSC timeline.

  • SAP on Ubuntu Correct settings for etc/hosts?

    Hi,
    I installed the SAP test drive version on Ubuntu (VirtualBox). After starting the SAP GUI (
    /home/minisap/SAPClients/SAPGUI7.20rev5/bin/guistart /H/ubuntu64/S/3242
    ) I get the following error:

    I guess that the settings of the file etc/hosts are not correct. After the installation of ubuntu the file contains

    According to the test drive readme file I have to ensure that etc/hosts contain at least the following lines:

    where "n.n.n.n" is a valid IP-adress.
    I tried different settings but the above mentioned error still occurs... Does anyone know the correct settings of etc/hosts or know what the problem could be?
    Thanks and regards

  • Anyone have the correct settings for iCloud in Outlook 2011 with OS X 10.7.2 ?

    If you substitute iCloud server addresses (imap.mail.me.com etc) these instructions work.

  • Sequence settings for digibeta anamorphic capture?

    I will be capturing from digibeta where the image is 16x9 anamorphic, using an AJA Kona card. What capture settings and sequence settings must I use to properly deal with the anamorphic image? I am renting the editing suite so I do not have access to it now. I need to prepare still images and titles using the same sequence settings that I will be using to capture. Does the Kona card come with sequence presets that I would not have in final cut pro 5.1, and if so can I edit my sequence settings to match?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    The templates can be found in the new image settings, under "film and video" from memory.
    But you could save yourself some trouble, and possibly aspect issues with an older version of Photoshop, by just making a new image in Photoshop that is 1024 x 480 (NTSC land).
    Paste your images into that as your template.
    Technically the images size IS 720x480 in your project, and then stretched out, but giving it 1024 x 480 starts you at a higher resolution, and avoids any graphics changing shape.
    Though FCP handles larger images, and you would be fine to just have all stills under 2000 pixels, and resize in FCP.
    Sure it needs to render, but then again you can do non-loss moves into stills.
    Oh, and as for presets;
    I prefer to use good old ProRes(HQ) rather then card specific codecs.
    This way you can archive the project to a harddrive and later edit or change in a suite with a blackmagic card, or even a cardless machine(as in capture card!).
    I believe there is an anamorphic Prores(HQ) anamorphic SD option,
    or at the very least you can duplicate a Prores setting and tick the anamorphic option!
    If you had the harddrive bandwidth and space you could choose to go uncompressed?
    Digital beta is about 2:1 10bit, so close to ProRes(HQ).
    Uncompressed is best though, but takes space and speed!

  • There are no export settings for DVCPRO HD

    Hello,
    I've tried to export video from Final Cut Pro and After Effects in DVCPro HD 720. I've noticed that for any DVCPROHD format there are no quality settings in the "Compressor" box of the export window. What's strange is that on my old computer I did have those options.
    Because I cannot specify 16X9 or 4X3, I have to render anything exported from After Effects into FCP.
    I am trying to figure out if I am missing something on the install?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I just read this week...and DVCPROHD may be in this category... When a quality side shows up in some codec...the slider has no effect on the quality of the video. It just shows up... I've seen a quality slider show up when using the AIC codec. The slider has no effect on the video
    DVCPro HD 720 doesn't have a quality slider. And why would it...HD right. And if in some program it does show up, I bet it does nothing.
    What problems are you having with aspect ratio 4x3, 16x9. If you trying to set aspect ratios in Compressor and not getting what you want, it can be done. If your changing from one to another there is some math to do. And sometimes you have to crop off some of the video.

  • Correct settings for your phone

    During the last week I have spent many hours trying various settings.  I then found a site where you pay £1 and they send the settings to you.  It worked very well.  I just had to fill in online the details of my phone, its service provider and if it was on a contract or PAYG.  No doubt there are several companies who do this.  I used "configuremyphone.com"  They send the settings on a text to your phone and give you a pin number to use which then moves the settings in the text to the correct locations in your phone.

    It probably reset the access point for the browser.
    First make sure that the access points are ordered correctly in your internet destinations and also check that "Internet" is the default destination.
    Then, from within the browser, check the settings and make sure that it uses "default" as its access point. It will then attempt to connect via the WLAN and, if it's not available, go for the packet data service.

  • Correct settings for using varDisplayTopic Title and varTopicTitle

    Say I have a module 20 screens long (CP4 by the way) with four topics. The template I'm using was set up by someone else, but had the $$varDisplayTopicTitle$$ and the $$varTopicTitle$$  already defined.
    Titles are assigned TopicTitle01 through TopicTitle04 in the Project>Actions, along with varDispalyTopicTitle.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the first page of my first topic shold be set to:
    Label: Topic01 Page01
    On slide enter: Assign
    Assign: varTopicTitle01
    with: Understanding Our Products
    For the pages following topic 01, what should my settings should be?  Do I need to label every page (e.g., Topic 01 Page 02, Topic 01 Page 03) after the first Topic page?  Do I use Execute Advanced Action and Set Topic Title for the pages to follow.    Or do I use the Assign again?
    Much thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    OK, now it is very clear, thanks to the screenshots.
    From your first screenshot, I deduct that you already created the 3 extra user variables you do need: varTopicTitle11, varTopicTitle12 and varTopicTitle13. And I think you gave them as values the complete title of each topic.
    How do I wish that Captivate 5 were already there, this kind of actions is so much easier to create there (I'm not an Adobe employee, be sure, just happy to have been a tester for this new version).
    Will try to explain step by step: you'll have to add 3 more conditions to your already long action SetTopicTitle. They are quite similar to all the (10) others, so for Topic11 it will be:
    Check if     cpInfoCurrentSlideLabel contains Topic11
      Begin
      varDisplayTopicTitle = varTopicTitle11
      End
    Nothing is needed as Else statement.
    Do not know if you ever wrote such an action? The interface is a bit 'clumsy' (explains my sigh about CP5). After choosing the action, scroll to the end after the last statement:
    select 'Add statement'
    use the space bar to open the dropdown-list, for the first action, choose Condition
    after 'Check if' select 'Select variable', use the space bar to open the dropdown-list, choose varDisplayTopicTitle
    select 'is equal to', use the space bar to open the dropdown-list, choose contains
    double-click (or space bar) to choose variable out of choice between variable and value
    open the dropdown list with variables (space bar) and choose varTopicTitle11
    You can leave the rest as it is. Repeat the same steps for the two other Topics.
    Since you are using the same advanced action on each start of Topic, there you'll have nothing to change.
    Hope this helps?
