Digitizing Progressive scan footage shot in PAL with panasonicDVX100AE

Hi,
Does anyone have an idea if i can use a different camera (for instance the Canon XM2 Mini DV) for digitizing this material into FCP or do i need special equipement for it since i can not use the original Panasonic camera for digitizing anymore?
footage shot in pal progressive scan mode.
please help...

ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL PAL MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
1. Disable overlays on the canvas
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline

DV footage requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or PAL monitor routed thru your camera or deck.
And the PipePro Studio is a capture card:

  • Digital Editions scanning ebooks nothing to do with it

    I use Digital Editions to copy borrowed library books to my eBook reader (Cybook Opus, but I don't think that is relevant).
    There are also many other books on the device, which have nothing to do with Digital Editions.
    When I start Digital Editions and connect the device, it spends ages looking around books stored on the device
    outside the Digital Editions directory, and making lots of annotation files which have no value to me at all.
    Meanwhile, it refuses to get on with its job of copying my library books to the device.
    Is there any way of preventing this antisocial behaviour by Digital Editions?

    Let's start with your understanding of what ADE is supposed to do.
    ADE does several things, and a description of what it does is included in
    the HELP section.  It will interface with sources for ebooks, interact with
    certain ereaders listed in its list of supported devices
    (HERE<http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/supported-devices>),
    and your Cyborg ereader is not on the list.
    I am somewhat confused by your statements concerning ADE's management of
    ebooks on your "device".  ADE runs on your computer, not your ereader, so I
    don't know how it would be interacting with the ebooks on your device.
    Since the Cyborg is not a supported ereader, is some software loaded on
    that device labelled 'Digital Editions'?  If so, it is not from Adobe.  I
    have seen some postings that tell us Digital Editions is stored on their
    ereader, but that is false.
    Library ebooks have digital rights assigned to them by the publisher,
    distributor, library or author.  ADE (on your computer) checks the settings
    to confirm that the permissions will allow an ebook to be copied to an
    ereader.  If the permissions will not allow that to happen, the ebook can't
    be copied, and that sounds like what may be happening to you.
    All in all, ADE is really not guilty of 'antisocial behavior'.  It's a case
    of unwinding what's going on and trying to figure out what to do about it.
    Hope this helps!

  • Right way to handle progressive 1080 footage in FCP

    Just want to make sure how the workflow goes and how the things get done the right way from the beginning.
    What I'm trying to uderstand here is how I should set up and what things to consider with 1080p25 material that I wish to keep progressive through the whole process. My hardware is:
    Quad 2.5 G5 with 4.5 GB of RAM
    Aja Kona 3 capture card
    SONY HDW-S2000P HDCAM recorder
    FCP 5.1.2
    Mac OS 10.4.8
    Footage was shot on HDCAM 1080p25. Should I capture that using Apple uncompressed 4:2:2 codec (1080i50). How is the progressive nature of footage retained as there seems to be no 1080p25 ability in FCP? When I edit back to tape should I use 1080i50 or 1080psf25 on my Sony HDW-2000?
    If someone can clarify this step by step, I would be a happy camper...
    QT 7.1.3
    Final Touch HD 2.6.1 with Tangent panels

    Use the stock presets all the way here... i.e. if it's 25fps, use the Kona's 50i... you won't lose the progressive scan at all, and 50i will not interlace the progressive scan footage.

  • Need help with easy setup - shot in progressive scan 29.98

    i decided to shot this evening in progress scan on my sony vx2100.... i have two clients that are asking for progressive scan... i've had no luck capturing the video.... not sure of the setup settings
    thanks

    you right... i learned last night it is 29.98 but i also got this response from my fcp users group.
    If I understand your problem correctly, you can get the footage into FCP, but it looks like ****.
    That's what happens when you use "progressive" mode on a VX2100 or a PD150. It's not really a true progressive image, and was never intended for professional production use. (I have no idea what it was intended for, frankly, other than a selling point -- i.e., to claim it does "progressive" when it actually doesn't.)
    which isn't good news if it's true...
    any thoughts

  • Reposting this - bringing dvd footage into FCP - progressive scan

    I occasionally have clients that need me to bring footage into their projects from a dvd or vhs. I'm looking into getting something that can do both NTSC & PAL and I've come across this product:
    Sharp DV-NC80
    6-Head Hi-Fi Stereo VHS/S-VHS VCR & DVD, CD-R, V-CD Combo Player - Multi System, Multi Zone
    My only dilemma is that the dvd player does not have progressive scan. Can anyone let me know if that should matter or not and what progressive scan is for? (I read the jagged edge article, but does progressive scan affect how FCP digitizes dvd material as well?) Thank you.

    Unless you are bringing the material in via a capture card, you can't take advantage of the 480p scanrate anyway...

  • 720/30p footage -- how does iMovie handle progressive scan?

    Does iMovie work well with progressive scan or does it like everything to be 60i? I have a 720/30p or 1080/60i camcorder, a 720p native projector and looking at AppleTV which is 540p @ 30fp. For best quality with iMovie and AppleTV, which is best to shoot at 720/30p or 1080/60i?

    hey there cmd,
    iMovie will handle Hi-def video @ standard frame rates: 1920 x 1080 60i, 1280 x 720 30p in the USA.
    Apple TV supports the following: TV compatibility
    Compatible with enhanced-definition or high-definition widescreen TVs capable of 1080p/1080i 60/50Hz, 720p 60/50Hz, 576p 50Hz (PAL format), or 480p 60Hz.
    some people prefer 720p for sports & 1080i for other type of viewing--movies,TV shows, etc...
    good luck.

  • Using compressor with h.264 footage shot at 29.97

    when i try to drag in a bunch of h.264 footage shot at 29.97 into a new batch to transcode to apple pro res, compressor runs really slow. It takes a long time for the clips to appear in the new batch document window. If I do the same with h.264 footage shot at 23.98 the clips appear almost instantaneously. Once it appears in window the 29.97 footage can be submitted and it does compress. Anybody else out there have this problem?

    I am using compressor 4

  • I'm working with MXF XAVCi footage shot in S-Log on a Sony FS7

    I'm working with MXF XAVCi footage shot in S-Log on a Sony FS7 - Can anyone tell what the optimum sequence settings are for premiere pro CC. I'm editing then doing a round trip into DaVinci. Currently settings are AVC - Intra 100 1080p.
    Many thanks

    Frankly, your best bet would probably be to recapture from the source into FCP. Alternatively you could export the files from the Avid directly as Quicktime Movie files instead of taking the raw MXF's.
    Options for working directly with the MXF's include:
    http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/MXFImportQ_OSX.html ( USD 60 )
    http://mxf4mac.com/products/mfx4qt/#mxf4qt_import ( EURO 399 )
    http://dvfilm.com/raylight/mac/index.htm ( USD 195 )
    but I have no info as to whether these would enable you to work directly with an AVID MXF

  • Need to edit footage shot in anamorphic/Sqeeze with footage shot widescreen

    Okay, so I had two DPs who were supposed to sync the footage specs and didn't. Now I have part of the project that was shot in anamorphic/squeeze on dvx100a and then part of the footage shot in regular widescreen 16x9 on dvx100a. I've been told those are two different pixel ratios... how do I do this?
    Help. Under deadline for dvd distribution for this web series. Thanks!

    Hey Shawn.. for sure, I am going to edit it in final cut but the first part of the project, the sequence setting had to be set to anamorphic. When I do that for the second half shot in widescreen, it distorts it.
    I'm not sure how to solve that, since the output to digibeta has to be continuous. If I do a sequence in anamorphic, the widescreen distorts, and visa versa.
    Any suggestions for that?

  • Progressive Scan mode (DVD on Sharp Aquos LCD)

    I want to use the Mac Mini as a DVD player on my 32" Sharp Aquos. Does anyone know if the Mac Mini supports progressive scan mode?
    Also, has anyone run into issues connecting to the 32" Sharp Aquos LCD TV?
    Thanks
    Curt

    Along the lines of progressive scan vs. interlaced... I've noticed while playing video from Quicktime I can make a selection to pick which one I prefer. I've got a project that I created in iMovie and I notice that if I were to share (export) a clip using the expert settings I can chose whether it is interlaced or progressive. However, when accessing those same .mov files in iDVD I don't see any settings that indicate whether the final DVD will be interlaced or progressive. From the looks of the footage viewing it on my computer it looks like it is interlaced. How can I create a DVD with this iMovie footage that ends up displaying as progressive?
    thanks for any advice.

  • Digitizing 23.976 footage, but getting some 29.97 clips

    Hi everyone,
    I'm currently digitizing about 20 hours of footage shot on a Panasonic DVX100 at 23.976 fps.
    I set my capture to remove the Advanced Pulldown, and things are working OK (the normal TC breaks, etc.).
    I've had two clips that came into my system at 29.97 fps, without me changing any settings (all other clips on the 2 tapes in question came in at 23.976). Does this mean that for those 2 clips the footage actually was recorded at 29.97 fps? Is there any way to tell? Or is there another kind of problem that can cause FCP to "miss" the pulldown?
    Thanks in advance!
    1.8 GHz Power Mac G5 * 150 GB startup drive * 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   FCP 5.0.4 * 400 GB internal ATA * nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

    No - don't do that. The cadence in 24PA is different (and visually glitchy). It is designed for easy removal of the 3:2 pulldown frames. Once you've shot 24PA, you should remove the pulldown and edit at 24. You would have had to SHOOT at 24P to edit at 29.97
    google reveals these Pulldown explanation pages:
    http://www.adamwilt.com/24p/#24pRecording
    http://home.aol.com/ajaynejr/pulldown.htm
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24p
    http://www.zerocut.com/tech/pulldown.html
    http://www.denecke.com/24pinfo.htm
    here's a visual representation of 24P with pulldown added to be recorded on a 29.97 tape (this is how all feature films are broadcast on NTSC)
    Here is 24PA:
    You can see from these that while 24PA is not as visually properly spaced, it is easier to drop a frame on a regular basis rather than re-assembling a frame from fields in different frames that 24P requires.
    SO. If your goal is simply a film look, shoot 24P and edit in normal 29.97 NTSC. If your goal is to go back to film (or MAYBE DVD), that is a reason to shoot 24PA and edit in 24 fps (23.976 for you purists).

  • No Fields (Progressive Scan).

    At a choice:
    New Preset> Load Preset> DV - PAL Standard 48kHz> Custom Settings> General> Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan), progressive video on timeline with a red strip.
    Why so?

    Clips that do not match your project settings exactly usually get a red line.

  • Recommend workflow for progressive HD footage

    I have to edit down some footage shot on XDCAM EX 1080p30. The end result will be PAL SD on DVCAM. I have the workflow for getting to PAL SD using Compressor, but I am wondering where the best place to go from progressive to interlaced is. My instinct tells me to leave it to the very last stage when I output the video to tape via a DV timeline. I am converting the XDCAM to ProRes in the first instance and staying in ProRes to PAL SD.

    that's what I'd do. Compressor works just fine for the conversions to PAL

  • Need to produce Progressive Scan DVD in Encore CS6

    My source footage is progressive scan 1920x1080 30P in mp4. When I go to build the DVD my video comes out interlaced and blurry. DVD project settings default (greyed out) are set to lower field. Is there a way to change this to none (Progressive)?

    You can't change it after you've transcoded it. Just pick a progressive preset.
    It is true that you cannot set the default project settings to progressive, and I think this prevents getting progressive output from automatic transcodes. But the project defaults have no impact on footage you import as DVD legal or that you transcode in Encore with specific settings.
