Different ways to import 24fps video into DVD SP?

Hello.
I am making a NTSC HD DVD with 1280x720 24fps video clip, and there are few things that's not clear to me...
In the mannual, it says that 'if you import 24fps MPEG-2 assets, they are handled correctly and remain 24fps when you build the project.' 'If you import 24fps QuickTime assets, they are encoded as either 29.97fps or 25fps MPEG-2 files, based on your project's video standard, and no longer 24fps when you build the project.'
If I want to keep 24fps, should I definitely encode to MPEG-2 with Compressor? Or those are just the 2 different ways to result in the same end since 24fps will be played with 3:2 pull down in DVD player? Will there be any quality difference between the two method?
Also, I did a test HD authoring, and I made an 720p mpeg2 with 23.97fps. Yet, when I import it to the project, Frame Rate in Video Asset says 59.94... I am sure that I select 23.97 for encode setting in Compressor. Does anybody have any clue for this?
Many thanks in advance.

Cinematize works great. You can select portions or the entire DVD. It will not read encrypted DVD's so assuming you are using media that you have rights to it will do fine.
You can import in several compressions. If you like you can import only the audio, only the video, etc. It will give you a QT file at the end.

Is there a way to import ONLY videos into PE8, not photos?

I have a million photos I never intend to use in a Premiere Elements 8 production. Using the PE8 "Organizer," is there a way to import ONLY videos into PE8, not photos?

I do not use Organizer, so may be missing something, but I would guess that one could Sort By, and choose File Type. Remember, Organizer is for the system, and does not reflect what is Imported for use in a Project - two different things. In lieu of Organizer, I use Adobe Bridge, installed with some of my other Adobe programs.
I would also assume that Organizer does things via folders. If one does not have any aspect set to auto, I would think that it would ONLY do thumbnails for certain folders, as directed. If one has their stills in other folders, then only AV Assets would be seen by Organizer.
Maybe some Organizer guru will have better directions for you. I am just thinking here and speculating.
Good luck,

Importing Compressed Video into DVD studio Pro: PROBLEM WITH SYNC

Hello,
This post regards software from Final Cut Studio 3
So, I have made a 2 minute clip in FCP7, exported it, compressed it using compressor, and then opened up dvd studio in order to burn it.
I have made sure the lengths of the audio and video were equal in FCP.
The problem is that when i drag the M2v and AC3 files into the DVD studio pro timeline, The audio is slightly longer than the video track.
I am creating a loop and want to duplicate the tracks within DVD studio to make use of the full dvd....so after i have added the files into the timeline a few times, there is a noticable lag, due to the discrepency between the length of audio and the length of the video.
I have even tried to change the length, under 'duration'in the track menu, but this makes no difference.
any help much appreciated.
THanks, Bradley

The looped clip in question is APPROXIMATELY 2 minutes. Infact, the DVDs are for an art installation, with numerous clips all Approx 2 minutes long, set to loop using dvd studio to around 20 minutes. (snip) However the loop is fine tuned so cutting frames to allow for the different frame rates of Ac3 and M2v is not an option.
So far I have only made a test batch, next time to avoid these problems I will Loop the files within FCP7 before exporting and compressing to avoid frame rate discrepancies. good idea??
I'm not surprised to hear that the clips are for an Art installation. I once helped my partner with multiple looped VHSs for a Degree Show & believe me DVDs make life a whole lot easier!
In conclusion I would recommend that you do a separate sound & vision edit, so to speak. Once you have finished your vision edit, lay down the single (compressed) vision clip on a track in DVD SP. Loop it to taste, and make a pencil note of the number of loops. Go back to FCP & duplicate your original final edit (ie the 'lock down') & loop the sound to match. Play out just the complete soundtrack at the new ~20 minutes and encode the resulting mix to AC3. Add it into DVD SP3. Voila! Really this is no different from making a movie; when the sound is going to be worked on by a whole different set of people from the pictures and both added together when complete.
... is there an alternative sound format to export in that is compatible with dvd studio pro that will sync perfectly in the sequence?
Of course uncompressed .aiffs don't suffer from the frame-based problem and are compatible with DVD SP. However using uncompressed sound is not recommended as this can lead to playback problems - especially with DVD-Rs - because of the high bit-rate.
BTW where is the show? Regards, Stedman.

Many CD's will include a DVD disc as well containing music videos. Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well as the music files?

I have a number of music CD's that also include a DVD which has music videos or concert movies. Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well?

wjosten - thanks very much for the detailed instructions. I'll try this as soon as I get my replacement and it looks like you'll probably end up getting the green tick

Importing VHS video into FCE4 via a camcorder

Hello,
I’m trying to import some old family videos that were recorded on an old VHS camera (now long departed) into Final Cut Express 4 using a Sony DCR-TR330 camcorder & a VHS player.
The camcorder is connected to my iMac via the firewire interface, the VHS player is connected to the “audio/video” input on my camcorder
When I press play on the VHS player the video appears in the Final Cut Express 4 capture window (the audio also plays) When I click “Capture Now” on the capture window I get the message:
“Waiting for Timecode
Device must be in VTR mode when Device Control is enabled”
If I first record the VHS video onto a Hi8 tape in the camcorder, I can then import the video (& audio) into FCE4 using the “Capture Now” button.
Is there any way to import the video straight into FCE8 instead of first having to transfer it to the Hi8 format.
Thanks for any help.
John Hutchinson

Many thanks for your prompt reply,
I am now able to capture straight from VHS to FCE4
Kind Regards

Importing Romanian Subtitles into DVD SP

I'm not able to import Romanian subtitles into DVD SP correctly. I can see them correctly in a program on my computer called Jubler, but when I import them into DVD SP, non-English characters don't import correctly. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Nick,
I appreciate your reply, though it didn't help. After working on it for several hours, I did figure it out however. I'll include here what I figured out incase someone else runs across the same problem.
I found out I can do it in both Jubler (which is a free program) and TextEdit.
I Jubler, I needed to import the .stl file encoded as ISO-8859-2, and save it out in UTF-16.
In TextEdit, I had to open it as Central European (ISO Latin 2), and save it out in UTF-16, manually changing the extension to .stl. The way to get that option in TextEdit is to go to Preferences, then Open and Save. Under 'Plain Text File Encoding' where it says 'Opening files', click on that tab. If it's not one of the options, then select 'Customize Encoding List...' at the bottom of the list, which will open up a ton of other opions. Check Central European (ISO Latin 2), and select it in the tab beside 'Opening files'. Next time you open up a file in TextEdit, that will be the default for the 'Plain Text Encoding'. When you do 'Save As', you'll need to change it to Unicode (UTF-16) and change the extension to .stl.
That took me about 5 hours to figure out.
Hope this helps someone else out.

Importing Youtube videos into Premiere Pro results in picture quality loss - how to prevent this?

I have imported several downloaded youtube videos in 720 or 1080p into Premier Pro but when playing in the video editor the picture quality is a little blurry and not as sharp as the original video is on youtube. Is there a way to import the video onto Premier Pro without losing the original quality?
Many thanks to anybody who can provide any guidance.

Whenever Premiere plays back video, it's going to appear to be of lower quality than the original. This doesn't mean that any quality has been lost, and when you export you will have your original quality again.
Just make make sure that the dropdown in your monitor next to wrench icon is set to "Full." If it's set to "1/2" or "1/4" that means playback will be really low quality (to speed things up). Even at full though, it will be a little less sharp than the original when it's playing. When you pause, then you'll see the original quality again.

Importing analogue video into imovie.

I am trying to import analogue video into imovie 5 using my canon i830 dv camera with tape out. imovie 5 will not import using this method and as I only have a few tapes to transfer I do not want to purchase further hardware. Will imovie 6 enable me to do this. Any sugestions?

iMovie has not changed in how it imports video from camcorders to the best of my knowledge. Your DV camcorder with a Firewire connection should import to iM4, 5 (HD), or 6. So it would appear that there is a problem with a setting, hardware, or something else keeping it from working. Sooooo....
Let's explore your setup. You have a DV camcorder right? It has a Firewire port? You are connecting the camera, with a Firewire cable, directly to the Mac? Daisy chained off an external hard drive? Via a Firewire hub?
Does the menu of the camera feature different connection types that you can select from (e.g. Firewire, USB, A/V jacks, etc.)?
What mode do you put the camera in when you attempt to import? Camcorder record mode? VCR play mode? Other?
When you hook up the camera what exactly happens? Do you get absolutely nothing? Do you get a message that the camcorder is connected but then can not get it to import? Do you get an error message?
Are you in an iMovie project when you attempt to import? Or are you trying to see the camcorder from the desktop?
Are you SURE the cable you have is OK? Have you tried it on another device to verify? Some cables have the molded over plastic higher on the connector than others. I personally have had devices with deep ports on them that a cable with more molded plastic (less exposed metal) not connecting but swapping to another cable with less molding and more of the metal connector exposed working correctly.

How to import YouTube videos into FCP for editing

I am doing a television interview, and we want to cut away to a YouTube video. Is there a way to download and import YouTube videos into Final Cut Express?

It's a clip from CNN (with all credits etc. added). When one refers to it as a clip posted on "YouTube", then people understand the quality will be poor.
I've watched television go from everything shot on a tripod with clean, meticulous editing rules, to almost anything goes. It has to do with cultural reference.

I have been trying to import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. Did not have trouble until I upgraded to mavericks. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, iMovie 10.0.2. Says it is recording, but when I go to check, it says the file is empty.

I have been trying import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. I have been successful doing this in the past, but now it is not working. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, (mavericks), iMovie 10.0.2. Everything in iMovie looks like it is working. It reads "recording" in the upper left hand corner of the pane while the video is playing. When I stop the process to check on my clip it says that the file is empty. The only thing that has changed since I did it successfully is that I upgraded to mavericks from whatever I had previously. My system is about one year old. Any suggestions?

Hey, Clinton,
     Thanks for your help! I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video. I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support. They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded. That didn't change anything. In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge. But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2.
     1. Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
     2. Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
     3. Close iMovie 9
     4. Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
     5. File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events. Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.)
     6. Select the clips and import. Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
You may get a message that some files cannot be imported. Click continue import. It's a little glitchy. It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too. On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy. In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
Hope this additional information helps somebody else. Thanks again, Clinton for helping me!

Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?

Is there a way to import Raw files into LR catalog ..including..any edits performed in an external raw file editor such as Capture One?
I can import the Raw file successfully but cannot see any edits that were applied in Capture One. Im assuming no but just checking.

Your assumption is correct, Capture One, Lightroom and other third party raw processors have their own proprietary processes and profiles for rendering the raw data.
They do not make permanent changes to the raw data and store the changes to an .xmp file or to a catalog file like Lightroom.

Is there a way to import iCal data into a numbers spreadsheet?

Is there a way to import iCal data into a numbers spreadsheet?

If you want to import lots of calendar events into Numbers, the general way to proceed would be to:
export in CSV (character-separated values) from iCal (Calendar)
import the CSV into Numbers.
1. can be accomplished via AppleScript (perhaps in an Automator workflow) or, perhaps more convenient, a dedicated exporter app such as Export Calendars Pro or competitors.
2. Importing into Numbers is usually as easy as File > Open and choose the CSV file.
