DVCPRO HD 1080 50i in AE 8.

We've been shooting on the new Panasonic HVX500 in 1080 50i and I'm finding that when I bring the clips into AE they are incredibly muddy and grainy looking. When I drop the clips into the Make Composition window, the composition it creates uses the setting: HDV1080/DVCPRO HD 720 (1.33), 25 fps, FULL resolution. I've tried using different codecs native to AE, but still get the same result, which is a slightly washed out, grainy image. Whereas in FCP it looks fantastic and sharp. Greenscreen pulls also look terrible. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or what settings to adjust to fix this? Thanks.

I would think that it's an issue with the color space conversion which may not be properly supported in MediaCore. File it as a bug at

You may also open the file as a legacy Quicktime movie (requires manual file type selection in the import dialog) to bypass all the optimized MediaCore stuff. Maybe this helps. Also check whether the clip got assigend some odd color profile.

Canon hfs20 1080 50i vs 25PF Final Cut Pro X Project settings

I apologise in advance if this is a newbie frustrating question....
But I have been searching and reading....and reading....and just cant seem to work it out.
I have a Canon hfs 20 legria (PAL version) camera.
I have purchased Final Cut Pro X.
The camera highest quality settings are 1080 50i or 1080 25pf.
Now, I think I understand the difference between interlaced and progressive (did some reading on the net).
What confuses me, is when I import the footage from the camera...into final cut pro X
I shot some footage at 1080 50i. ( it is intended to be used as a music video, eventually)
When I imported the footage into FCPX i let it set the project properties, taking it from the footage shot.
Expecting the project would set itself, to 1080i 50i.
I check the project properties, and they say its 1920 X 1080i 25i ( now from my reading, i assumed if it was gonna set 25 anything, it would have been 25p)
I then copied the project, and manually set its settings, to 1920 X 1080p 25p
When I play either project, and look at them in the viewer, I cant see a difference. (Now that is probably attributed to the fact that I am a newbie and dont know what I am looking for in the first place)
Now, also during my searching, I came across a plethora of people, selling coversion software, for the canon hfs20 to get it into FCP. Now I cant tell if this was prior to FCPX , and now FCPX handles my cameras footage. To be honest, from what I had read, I kinda didnt expect my footage to import, and was pleasantly surprised when it did.
So, on to my questions, you say...8)
My cameras highest quality settings, are 1080 50i or 1080 25p
I wish to get the best footage I can, and have it set so it works well with FCP X.
I dont shoot, sports, hummingbirds etc...its mainly me, sitting playing the guitar, long walks on the beach, looking longingly into the distance...8)
Which settings would work best, and what should my project be set at , in FCPX to deal with those settings.
Final delivery, will be, internet, Beta tape for TV broadcast, possibly DVD but that is a distant 3rd.
Look, I know this is probably a frustrating question, but I would really love some help. Audio, i get, Video makes my head spin..8)
thanks in advance
Wiz

Hi Tom
and thank you very much for your reply.
Okay, I will shoot in 25FP from now on...8).
I also made the change to the viewer settings, though I cant find anything in the online help manual about what it is or what it does...
thanks mate
cheers

AVCHD 1080/50i export to mpeg 1080/50i - video stutters

when exporting the complete sequence to mpeg 1080/50i the resulting video stutters at 2 to 3 points. Thus I exported 3 parts of the sequence: no video stutters. Then I create a new sequence based on the resulting 3 videoclips, export the complete sequences and the exported video stutters again at some points.
Can anybody help?

Avchd-1080/50i problem

Hello! I have a sony HDR-AX2000 (avchd) , I film in 1080/50i FX and I import from the cam into final cut pro x(I also use apple prores).
Yesterday I noticed that my project properties were incorrect: format-1080iHD resolution-1920x1080 rate-25i.
I filmed in 1080/50i FX (24mbps)... So.. how can I modify my project? Do I must import the footage another time?(I have the footage on the cam)
PS: I can also rec. in 1080/50i FH (17 mbps) or 1080/50i HQ (9mbps) or 1080/50i LP (5 mbps) or 1080/25 p FX or 1080/25p FH... Is one of these formats best for fcpx?
Sorry for my English, I'm italian!!! Write me soon... it is very important!!!

50i is a stupid nomenclature. It means your video is 50 fields, 25 frames per second. FCP rightly uses the nomenclature 25i or 25p to indicate media that's 25fps either interlaced or progressive. Your media is 25i.

FCP settings for HDCAM 1080 @ 50i

Hello people,
This is my 1st (of many I'm sure) posts..
I have a bunch of tapes shot on a HDCAM 750 and 1080/50i. I've poppped them into FCP at DVCPRO50 for the rough cut.
What settings do I use witin FCP to capture the HDCAM uncompressed.. I have a Kona LHe and 3Tb of storage on a fibre channel, 8 gig RAM so we're ready to cook.. just not sure which setting to go.. I'm confused with the 50i thing.. there's not an 'easy setup' for this.. Is there?
Help me people!

Welcome to the forums.
Yes, I have the Kona LH as well and I note that there isn't an Easy Setup for 1080i50. 1080i25, but not 50. Could it be as simple as duplicating a 1080i25 setup, and changing the frame rate from 25 to 50? I dunno...that is an AWEFULLY high rate. There isn't a 1080i60 either. The highest it goes is 29.97. And when I deliver 1080 masters, they are 23.98.
I only mention the duplicating option as I see that Decklink HD codecs offer that option.
What happens if you capture at uncompressed 10-bit HD 1080i25?

Editing Mixing 720 50p mts h264 and 1080 50i xdcam mxf

Hi all, I'm going to shoot an event this weekend on XDCAM 1080 50i, I will probably need some B roll and and I was thinking to add my lil handycam and test it in 720 50p...
I plan to output mainly on a blu ray, but it will definitely end up on youtube and vimeo as well.
The handycam is able to 1080 50i as well so am I looking for trouble trying this?
Thanks

Output to BDR is usually 1920 x 1080i/25. I would use both the lil camera and the XDCAM at 1080i/25 to avoid scaling and frame blending. Uprezzing is always a bad idea, it costs too much quality, downrezzing makes no sense if both cameras support 1080i/25 and shooting P makes no sense since BDR only supports i/25 and not p/25.

1080/50i or 720/50p

Hi!
I just got a new camera from my new work, a Panasonic AG-AC160
I have to record a short commercial tomorrow, but I dont know if I should record in 1080/50i or 720/50p?
the commercial will be be a One shot movie, and I will have to use some few fast forward effects and slow motion effects, when i edit it.
The commercial will be uploadet on a website and a youtube channel.
but can anyone tell me pros and cons? (1080/50i vs. 720/50p)
what will You record in?
Thanks
/Dennis

If the commercial will NOT be shown on TV, shoot 720p and you'll get superb slomo.
Interlaced is primarily for TV (not internet).

1080 50i disadvantages and editing problems?

I am about to buy cosumer camera Sony HDR CX350ve. It records in AVCHD 1080 50i footage. I am in big doubt because of this interlaced scaning and all of discussions about film-like or no film like look. What it is all about?
How Premiere CS4 deals with 50i during editing? When i will see artifacts? What is the best way to convert to progressive scanining?
What i will see on 1080p LCD? Is this interlaced scaning really worse than progressive?
I really like this camera but I don't want to regret buying it while editing footage. Please help.

Nothing worth mentioning. But let's be practical, many users only edit and export interlaced material, you have no way to export to 25P on BRD or DVD, PC players like VLC or MPC automatically correct interlaced material for display on a progressive monitor, just as flatscreen TV's do.
Jeff's tutorial is great in NTSC land, but not in PAL land to introduce that "Filmic / Stuttering" look. The software solution is the best approach in NTSC land to create the stutter, not here. IMO even a software solution is only a band-aid, and does interpolate between fields to create a frame which will always entail mathematical inaccuracies and errors. If the information is not there, you can't create the information in post. So it will by definition look softer than the original. Converting i material to P will work reasonably nice on static shots, but not on fast moving shots or fast pans.

Transcoding from 1080p 29.97 to 1080 50i?

My master project is mixed timeline of RED R3d's, Panni AVCHD and h264 and well as P2 material. I'm making my master as a TIFF, then need to send to Europe a 1080i 50i timeline to them with audio seperated....Can i get some of the tech savy to assist on this? :
Here's what i've done:
1. My sequence is set to: 1920x1080 @ 29.97 (see attached) with max bit depth & max render selected
2. Export media, then set my MASTER as a TIFF sequence at 1080p 29.97 with max set in Export settings dialague box as well--in both places
3. Send to QUEUE using AME for my Encode
4. Once finished (24 hours later)....then import TIFF file to a new Sequence--i am just choosing a Generic Sequence--like DSLR or anything that is 1080p @ 29.97...then i Render the sequence...SO--now i have my MASTER....
How can i get to a 1080i 50i Prouct for my client in the UK? Stumped here since i see plenty of 1080i 25 and 1080i 60.....
Thanks,

Why don't you make your life a lot easier and simpler, since you are using stills (.TIFF) by using a 1080/25i sequence without the Maximum Bit Depth? Or are you using 10 bit TIFF's and a third party card?
Harm: My original timeline is only moving images...R3s's, AVCHD and other material 90% 29.97 and a bit at 24fps....I should have preficed that i want my MASTER sequence as 29.97 since i have two markets that will get this...Europe and then USA. That said, if it is BETTER to make two Masters..great. But yes, i understand Tiff's are only images....and can then be put back any way....at least that is how i understand it....As for Maxium Bit Depth...Actually i have no idea what that is even used for---BUT, i do want highest quality possible for my master. So....why would i NOT use Max Bit Depth ? or Why turn off?
The whole Render to Tiff is new to me since i'm a throw over from FCP...and only rendered out prores for NGTV, Discovery etc....
Jim: Ah...3x export---well, i had problems with some flickering because i used the effect Shadow/Highlight---which (see attached) caused flickering--took me 2-3 days to figure this out and little did i know it is a known issue with Adobe....but now that i'm rendering now for a 4th time as i write this....what i did was this...
when exporting out...i chose Tiff....you are right--i did not need to choose a frame-rate etc...but i did choose 1080p & 29.97, then send to Queue--then AME comes up and the actual coding shows as Tiff custom....so those settings i chose i'm sure do nothing then since each frame is merely a picture file.
So....now what i have done is render out the Tiffs....to a folder. I go back to PrPro...set a new sequence as 1080p & 29.97....import Tiffs as a sequence and then render again...now there is my sequence....
Ok...so now that i have my Tiffs...i guess i can do anything i wish....But, how would i get to 1080i 50i ?
These are the Tech Specs I am to meet:
1. Tapes
1x 60' HDCAM 1080i50 16:9 English/International version: fully texted with textless elements for opening titles, closing credits, subtitles and captions.
The tape must be seamless - without any commercial breaks.
Please refer to the attached technical document (page 11) for a detailed explanation of what we define as English and International versions.
2. Audio configurations
Channel 1: Full Mix Stereo Left
Channel 2: Full Mix Stereo Right
Channel 3: Mix minus Narration Left (undipped)
Channel 4: Mix minus Narration Right (undipped)
All audio channels must peak no higher than -10dBs (measured on the EBU digital scale) or 6 PPM (when measured on the UK PPM meter).
3. Please make sure all the titles are within 4:3 (preferable) or 14:9 (acceptable) title safe area.

Dvcpro hd 1080/25p

dear colleges,
i bought a panasonic HVX200. i thought that FCP6.2 would have the dvcprohd 1080 25p codec, but it is not there (at least i cannot find it). i intend to blow up my footage to 35mm and therefore i need the 25p codec. How to go ahead with this?
filmstad producties

HI Gerard, yep its there.I have recently bought a HVX-200 and imported my first 1080/25P. It's not on the EASY SETUP.
Simply adjust the setting's (cmd+0) of your new SEQUENCE to your 25P, 1080 and your away before dropping the 1080/25P into the sequence.
should be fine.

How to export in 1080 50i in After Effects ?

Hi
I import AVCHD 1920x1080 50i MTS files , after doing the effetcs , I want to export it in 50i but it only export at 25p instead of the 50i. So i lose some fluid motion.
How can I proceed?
Thanks

First, make sure all video footage is interpreted in the proper field order. Go File>Interpret>Main, and make sure it's upper field first. Add your comp to the AE render Queue. In the render settings, select upper field first, then render in the codec of your choice.
Are you using Final Cut Pro? It has a difficult time distinguishing between interlaced and progressive scan sometimes. Highlight the movie in the FCP Browser, and check the field order (incorrectly called Field Dominance in FCP) make sure it to is upper field first. Then check your edit timeline for the same thing.

Hdv 1080 50i footage down-converted to PAL DV query

Hi,
I've captured a bunch of tapes down converted from the original HDV (through a Z1) to PAL. I'd now like to recapture these tapes as HDV footage. Would it be simply a case of copying the edited sequence, pasting it in an HDV 1080 sequence and reconnecting the clips to the new HDV media files after recapturing the tapes, or is it going to be more complicated than that?
Cheers,
Ant

I've never done this, but I think you're going to have some issues, depending on how you captured the DV version. If you took it as one long capture, the HDV clips won't be the same and you won't be able to relink.
You might end up having to replace all the clips one at a time. At least the timecode will match.

Problem with Panasonic P2

I am new to this forum and hope someone can help me.
I shot video by Panasonic AG-HVX203 to shoot video in DVCPRO HD (1080/50i) format. This is PAL format. Video is stored in P2 card. And then I import the MXF files to the timeline of Premiere CS4. After edited, by the Dynamic Link sent to Encore which Project Preset is PAL 1440x1080 25.
With Encore, transcode the video with 1440x1080 25 Maximun Quality. And then Build "Blu Ray Disc Image". Finally, burn this Disc Image file to Blu Ray disc.
Play back this disc with Panasonic Blu Ray player BUT find out that the video resolution is 576p!!
I checked my workflow and tried many times to build different Disc Images. But all blu ray disc is played back only with 576p quality.
I want to create a blu ray disc with 1080i quality. What did I do wronly in my wrokflow? Could you help?

1. Try encoding to Blu-Ray (mpg2 or H.264) from Premiere using your 50i settings.
2. Check the file after encoding to be sure it is 1440x1080 50i.
3. Then start Encore and create a new HD project. Check under FILE, PROJECT SETTINGS that you have Blu-Ray selected with PAL 1440x1080 50i.
4. Next import the Blu-Ray files you exported from Premiere into Encore.
5. Burn your Blu-ray disk.
Hope this helps.

Capture Now in-closed clip recovery?

I was recording using Capture Now via FireWire from my Panasonic HVX200, DVCPRO HD 1080/50i into FCP6. I was recording band sets at an all day festival. I successfully recordered 7, one hour clips with no reported dropped frames. The 8th clip reported dropped frames when I stopped recording using 'escape' but I was distracted and hit escape again which then didn't close the clip.
The footage, or at least the data is still on my hard drive its just not been saved as a clip. This must happen often so my question is, has anyone successfully recovered a clip like this?
Thanks

Thanks so much. I just switched switched from transcoding to ProRes during capture to capturing native HDV, and, as a result, get to use the Log and Capture functions for the first time.
I think it would have taken me a while before I tried the description box. Thanks for keeping me on schedule!
