Deinterlaced QT HDV clips do not remain deinterlaced when played in Keynote

Anyone knows why?
Deinterlaced QT HDV clips (deinterlaced through the de-interlace box in the video-track properties) do not remain deinterlaced when played in Keynote 2.
BTW I have found deinterlacing QT HDV clips in FCP not to be fully satisfactory.
Any better solution for deinterlacing finished HDV clips (1080i50) available?

#25 HDV external Monitor Viewing
Shane's Stock Answer #25 - HDV external Monitor Viewing
To view HDV on an external monitor you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink or AJA offer. They will both play out HDV in real time. The catch is that you cannot view this on a regular TV or NTSC monitor. Since this is HD, an HD monitor will be needed.
HDV cannot be played out of FCP via Firewire because it's Long GOP structure is too taxing on your processors to spare the system resources needed to drive an external monitor.
The best option you have is the Matrox MXO...$1000.

Why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel?

I posted my problem earlier today, but re-reading it maybe I didn't explain myself well enough.
My main question is: "why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel ?". This is occuring after I have selected my media from the Tasks Panel and placed them in correct order in the Timeline/Sceneline. I knew something was wrong when I could see that the clips were not indicating their right length when viewed in the (expanded) timeline. They were compressed into just a few seconds, whereas the clips should have been at least 5 minutes. I ran the clips in the monitor and sure enough they ran too fast, with a lot of jerking movements.
The 3 video clips I am trying to make into a HD PAL video were taken with my Nokia N8 mobile video camera. These are in mp4 format. Can this present a problem ? Note that when I play these individual HD clips on my computer in (Windows Media Player) they run fine.
After I placed the clips in my Project Panel (or before in the Organize Workspace), I have perforned no change or manipulation of the clips. They are in their original state.
Just too confirm that the clips did seem to be compressed, I burnt a DVD, the resultant video ran in a matter of seconds.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, that is what the problem was.
Although the video camera on my Nokia N8, mobile was capturing at 25fps,
for some reason once transfered over to PrE9 (via file transfer), the clip was interpreted as 500fps. Once in Interpret Footage I was able to change the fps to 25.
Thanks for the help.

My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1. I have imported .mov clips created with a older mac os x (lion) and converted them to import into fce. after doing this as well as putting clips on the fce timeline when playing back t.h

My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1. I have imported .mov clips created on a older mac os x (lion) and when I wanted to import them into fce, a quicktime conversion window opened up and converted them (I haven't experienced this in the past). I then imported the converted quicktime clips into my fce project. After doing this I took selected clips and put those edited clips on the fce timeline. When playing the video back in the fce timeline,I noticed
1) the video wasn't playing back smoothly like the original content
2) when looking at the timecode reading of the timeline, the timecode was sputtering as well as the video and audio. I exported to quicktime just to see if that was consistent, it was.
When I play the converted quicktime content independently of fce, it plays normally (no sputtering of timecode, video and audio. Need help to resolve the sputtering playback of converted video content in the fce timeline. I've never experienced this before. Any suggestions?

When you say you converted the clips before importing them into FCE, did you convert to AIC or DV and do the converted clips match your FCE Sequence settings exactly? If not, go back and convert the original files again, using the intended Sequence settings as a guide.

DVD not working properly when played on DVD player

I created a DVD using FCP and DVDSP, it plays fine on my Mac and my regular DVD player. However, it plays once through on a TV Guardian DVD Player and then will not play again. I don't know much about these players but they filter foul language and such when playing DVDs. The DVD that I created doesn't have foul language or anything that would be considered objectionable on it.
Has anyone had experience with these types of players or this situation?

Another thing to check is your bitRates and whether you encoded the audio to A.Pack/Dolby. I have often seen machines play once or twice then start having playback issues or not play. It can be related to the encode rates (and it may not behave across different machines the same way, in other words it will continue to play fine on some players and not another)

Audio and video are not in sync when playing movies in iTunes

I have downloaded several movies from the iTunes store, and also ripped two digital copy discs into my iTunes library. When I try to play them, the audio is not in sync with the video. Very frustrating when you see the characters lips move, then about a second or two after, you hear what they were saying.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am running most current version of iTunes, and QuickTime.

I have looked a little bit more, and it seems as though the video is lagging behind, not the other way around. Video seems choppy, but the audio is playing perfectly. Music Videos are suffering from the same problem as well. Also, when I sync to my iPod Touch 16GB, audio & video match up perfectly.
I still have no idea how to fix this. Please help.

QT does not have sound when play AVI movies

I can not get any sound in my .AVI films in QT.
I have QT Pro 7.6.5 as well as QT 10.
The films play WITH sound in my VLC player but want them to work in QT as well so I can watch them is sound via my Apple TV.
I run the latest Mac software, versions etc. I have installed Perian as well as 3ivx (have a 30 day trial version that is still in the trial period so should work).
What is further getting on my nerves is that my mother in law has the same MacBook Pro as me with the same programs and she GETS the sound in her QT Pro 7.6.4.
I have checked her settings and downloads and can not find any differences (even copied her QT to my MacBook in case there was an error with mine)...
ANY help or advise highly appreciated.
Merry x-mas,
Kenneth

Very poor audio format used in the file (1/4 of the standard sample rate and mono). But I don't have any troubles with it (the audio codec) on my machine.
Some oddball info surrounds your file. The 24 fps frame rate suggests "premium" quality video at HD dimensions yet the audio is highly compressed.
The Perian component is like a "Swiss army knife" (has all kinds of options) and if it can't help your file there may not be much other help for it.
Can you tell us more about the source (where you got the file)?

Album art not showing completely when playing songs on iphone

when i play songs on my ipod's iphone, for some reason not all cd cover images show up on a full view, (not in landscape mode) it will only show half of the picture. It happens with some songs/pictures not all. Is there any restriction? image size, resolution, type (jpeg, gif, bmp)?
thanks

first thing to check is to make sure each song has the correct album artwork.
if that is correct, delete the songs from the iTunes library, sync your phone to remove all of the songs from it, and then reimport your songs and resync.

1.0.1 did NOT fix problem when playing music while web surfing

My iPhone (like many others) will often crash when I surf the internet and play music simultaneously. I was hopeful the 1.0.1 update would fix this, but I can confirm that it did NOT fix the problem.
Does anyone know if this problem was supposed to be fixed by this update, and if not, when it is going to be fixed?
Love the phone, but am quite annoyed by this problem.

I can only provide anecdotal experience, but prior to the 1.0.1 update, I was rarely able to surf on Safari (as opposed to surfin' safari) for more than 5-10 minutes without the iPod portion crashing. Pages with heavy javascript or forms to fill in seemed to hasten the process.
After the update, I fired up the iPod alter-ego then surfed for 30 or so minutes, spent a lot of time in the Apple Discussions (which always crashed it) and had nary a crash.
Again, only anecdotal, but I was feeling like this bug is much better now.

Video clip did not export in the Slide show

I recently created a photo slideshow in Aperture for my grandmother's funeral. I exported it as a movie to play through apple tv but when it played the slideshow, the video clip was not there. When I preview the slideshow in Aperture, its there and it works. But it did not work as an exported movie. any suggestions?

My friend gave me his presentation into which he wants me to embed video clips of him talking on each page. The video clips will be made in Photo Booth when he comes to my house. I have made a practice video clip of myself with Photo Booth and see how there might be problems, and if so, what can I do?
The pages were initially text and graphs made in Excel and then placed into his PC Powerpoint program. Then I put that Powerpoint presentation into my Keynote program and thought that all was going well with my transitional devices and first and second page created in Keypoint.
Alas, the problem now is that I can get the original page to show up, and I can get the little video clip to show up, but I don't know how to make the window stay open until the video clip ends (when he finishes speaking to the page).
Do you have any thoughts about what I can do? Should I record him on the iMac's video cam rather than Photo Booth? If so, that's going to be new for me, since I have had this new iMac for only two weeks now.

Converting HDV clip to Flash

Hello,
I am wondering if there is any way how to convert HDV clip into Flash .flv file, keeping 16:9 ratio.
I only manage to convert it into whatever conversion is available in Compressor, like .mov, H.264, etc.
But how can I end up with Flash file?
Thank you so much for your advise.

Those are mutually exclusive operations, file size and image quality.
Adobe's own media encoder cannot compress the their own FLV any more efficiently using preset. if you get in and tweak every scene change you can expect some fabulous results at the expense of lots of time and effort. But the file won't be significantly smaller.
Again, suggest you hit Adobe.com and get everything they have to offer on encoding for Flash, there's tons of free information, not al of it is easy to find, hidden in support forums, tutorials, blogs. But it's there. And you can search here for "flv" we see the topic daily.
But consider that you shot 720 and are now smooshing it to less than VHS quality and wondering why it's not both lovely and small at the same time. It's a tough compromise, very difficult to achieve, especially if you are going to open the frame controls and start applying white restore, intelligent deinterlacing, gamma, and contrast adjustments.
Sorry not to be able to give you a magic formula.

Aspect Ratio HDV clip from FCP to After Effects

Can someone help me with exporting from FCP an HDV clip to After Effects? What I am doing is trying to export an HDV clip from FCP to AE but when I import it into AE the aspect ratio is all off. I have an HDV 1080i50 easy setup timeline and I am exporting from that as a quicktime movie (not conversion) with the current settings. When I bring that into AE I have a HDV comp set up and I drop the FCP movie into that comp. My FCP movie is 1920 X 1080 and is bigger thant the AE HDV Comp. Why? Shouldn't the sizes be the same since they are HDV? Please help
Tim

HDV is 1440 x 1080 native so if you have output from FCP that is 1920 x 1080 it is being misinterpreted by AFX.
Try creating a new comp in AFX using the HDV easy setup but set the frame size to 1920 x 1080 manually and see what that does.

Audio Waveforms (On Certain Clips Only) Not Displaying

Long time forum-lurker, first time poster.
Here's the situation: The nighttime assistant editor created a sequence of B-roll clips for an editor. On both the editor's and the assistant editor's computer, the audio waveforms for these clips are not displaying correctly. Specifically, the symptoms (on both computers) are:
- Waveforms do not appear in timeline unless zoomed in to maximum or second-to-maximum zoom. When zoomed out farther than that, the "X"es appear.
- When viewing the clip in the viewer's audio tab, either by double-clicking the sequence clip or match-framing from the sequence, the waveforms do not appear at all until I zoom in to near maximum level. When zooming out after that, the remnants of the zoomed-in waveforms remain on the screen.
- The waveforms of other clips display correctly.
I have tried deleting the waveform cache on both computers, changing the location of the waveform cache and restarting, and deleting the preferences on the editor's computer. I have not tried recreating the sequence from the original clips because the daytime assistant editor has more sequences to create and needs to use her computer.
If anyone can help me, that would be great.
Here are the specs:
Assistant Editor's Computer: eMac running Final Cut Pro 5.0.1 and Mac OS 10.4.something (I haven't gotten a chance to run software update).
Editor's Computer: Dual Processor Power Mac G5 running Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 and Mac OS 10.4.8.
Both computers are sharing the same media which is located on our SAN. The Editor's computer (along with two other G5-based editing systems) is connected via FibreChannel. The Assistant Editor's computer (along with a whole bunch of other computers) is connected through our server, which serves the SAN drives as network volumes. Assistant editors create sequences on the eMac and upload the project file to the server, where they are available for the editors to download.
Power Mac G5 and eMac Mac OS X (10.4) SAN: Xserve RAID, CommandSoft FibreJet (not Xsan). Server: Xserve (Intel model)

Don't know what's going on, but tell us the format of
the audio.
It's the audio track from a video clip. All video on this project is DV NTSC. The audio is 48.0 Khz, 16 bit, 2 mono channels.
Also, try copying
one audio clip to a local drive and see if the
problem persists.
Copied one of the offending clips onto the desktop. Dragged it into the project. Opened it in the viewer and hit the Audio tab. Whaddya know, the waveform appeared.
I cut a chunk of it into the sequence that is full of clips whose waveforms don't work and turned on "show audio waveforms". Waited for a long time and I still just got the Xes unless I zoomed in really close to the new sequence clip.
But then I cut a chunk of the newly copied clip into a brand new sequence, turned on audio waveforms in the timeline, and they showed up.
I don't know if any of this will help to solve my problem, but hopefully it will give someone an idea. I've got an editor who says he's used to editing from waveforms and needs the ability to see them. (Unfortunately, copying media to local drives is not a viable workaround. The media must stay on the SAN.)

Using HDV clips from Final Cut in a 4:3 iMovie Timeline

I'm trying to use HDV clips in a standard def, 4:3 iMovie file. I export them as full quality QT clips out of my FCP timeline - to the desktop - then when I drag them into my iMovie file - they squish instead of letterboxing. I've tried everything but can't get it to work. Some clips import with the letterbox and others import anamorphic style. Very strange.
It looks like iMovie likes the .dv file extension - but I can't get that with the QT clips I make in FCP - when I use DVStream as an export the quality goes way down. I also tried converting them in Quicktime - but that isn't working. Any ideas?
Again - just trying to keep my 16:9 clips in 16:9 and not squishing them to be 4:3. I'd be happy getting my QT clips from FCP to be .dv files even.....
Thanks

It looks like iMovie likes the .dv file extension
Yes, a correctly 4:3 or 16:9 flagged .dv imports best and most predictably to iMovie
when I use DVStream as an export the quality goes way down.
Of course there is downscaling when converting HD to plain lower res DV. Also remember that QT Player by default shows low-res preview of .dv -- you have to turn on HQ display to see all quality.

Is it possible to create a dolby 5.1 video with HDV clips in Premiere Elements 9

I am trying to take the stereo input of the HDV clips and use those for Front Left and Front Right. I would like to add some stereo music in the two back channels and add a narrative for the center channel. Is this possible in Premier Elements 9?
Thanks for any pointers...

No, unfortunately you did not miss something.
The same, or very similar, question comes up in the PrPro forum, quite often. There, it's usually along the lines of "why do I have to buy the SurCode plug-in? Why is it not included in the price of the program?" There, the answer is that if it WAS included, the price would go up by about US $ 250 for every copy of PrPro, whether the user ever needed to do DD 5.1 SS, or not.
Personally, I was so impressed by the SurCode plug-in for PrPro, that I bought two licenses (no discount for multi-user licenses), and nearly every Project contains DD 5.1 SS, that gets authored in Encore. I also got the SurCode DTS Encoder (not a plug-in, but a stand-alone), and many Projects also have DTS as a supplemental Audio Stream.
Not sure if PrE will ever have DD 5.1 SS output, due to the cost of the DD licensing.
Now, some NLE programs DO offer 5.1 SS, but not sure how many are fully DD (Dolby Digital) compliant.
Good luck,
Hunt

Any known issues with Premiere CC and imported HDV clips?

I'm having consistent difficulty with Premiere CC playback of HDV video that originated in FCP 7. This was not an issue in Premiere CS6. The problem is dropout and pixelization which is consistent, pass after pass, and occurs at the same TC location on some clips. It is almost like some clips are corrupted in a consistent manner, while others are not, and don't seem to become corrupted.
For a variety of reasons, I still shoot HDV on a Z1U, and use an old FCP7 workstation to digitize media. I then import these individual video clip files into CS6. These are clips that play correctly in FCP, Premier CS6, and in the Finder, and Quicktime Pro, but not Premiere CC.
I have Dropboxed a sample clip to my service contact at AJA, and she is reporting the same issue with Premiere CC. (The technical support at AJA is the best I've experienced in over 30 years of video production).
The same issue presents itself with HDV clips that were converted to such from .m2v via Clipwrap.
Any other types of media play correctly within Premiere CC. For example, I have a CS6 project that is nothing but After Effect CS6 anims comiled into a program in Premiere CS6; it plays perfectly. So do any media that Premiere CC puts through its own conversion or import "routine," like AVCHD. Even XDCAM clips that went into FCP via XDCAM Transfer play well.
Any thoughts?

Tim,
I would assume the clips work fine in FCP7, so you're not totally busted. Maybe try using Compressor or AME, like the other guy said, to export them in another format; I'd recommend Apple ProRes 422. Fallback is to work in FCP7, as the tapes are gone.
When I 1st posted this problem, I left for vacation. I saw briefly that someone suggested a plugin in another reply, but I haven't had a chance to pursue that yet. I'm in northern Michigan (USA) with limited access to email. I'll do some follow up this Monday when I return. Good luck!!
