DVCPRO HD Frame rate converter not working

Hello all
I cant seem to get my frame rate converter to work. I shot the footage on my hvx200 at 720p30 and then put it in film mode and changed the frame rate to 60. Then I log and transfered it into FCP and when i go to convert it i keep getting the same message.

does anyone know why? I have gotten some footage to convert before with no problems.
Thanks
Andrew

All worked well last time I did this (late March), but upgraded to Leopard since then and brought all FCStudio apps up to date at the same time.
Looks like on import (log/transfer in FCP from Firestore) somehow the files are being flagged as having 'temporal compression', which can't be true if they're DVCPRO-HD, can it? Anyway the 'temporal compression' seems to be blocking the conform in CT, as well as the DFCPRO FRC in FCP.
So I tried importing the files from the Firestore thru an older version of FCP (5.1.4) that I have on my PowerBook (the problems described above are on my Mac Pro). I then copied these files out of the capture folder over to the Mac Pro, and sure enough: no problems with 'temporal compression'. The files were all marked as "maximum quality" and were allowed to be conformed from 60 to 24 in CTools, and have dupl frames removed using the FRC as needed.
So something appears to be broken with FCP 6.0.3 and how it imported this particular set of files on the Firestore.
I should note that if I hadn't tried to conform or FRC these files, I might never have noticed that there was a problem - they behaved as normal 720/60 files when just viewing them.

  • Third party DVCPROHD Frame Rate Converter not showing up in tools.

    How can I get a third party frame rate converter to appear in my FCP tools. I meet all system requirements... followed instructions. Not sure what is up. Any ideas?

    Yeah, I downloaded it from the site onto an older G5 with an ATI 9600 in it. I could never get it to work. It showed up in the menu but couldn't actually select it.

  • Batch DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter PLEASE!

    Any chance there is a way to Batch Process files with the Frame Rate Converter??
    Please Apple Give us batch processing with frame rate converter.. It is a total time waste to have to convert 10s or even 100s of files one at a time..

  • Dvcpro hd frame rate convertor

    i shot 720p at 60fps but it plays normal in my sequence and i can't convert it to slow motion in my timeline using dvcpro hd frame rate convertor. the option isn't greyed out but does nothing when is select it. am i doing something wrong?

    My timeline is ALSO 720p24 with most of my footage at 23.98. I have footage shot 60p that I can either cut in and render so that it matches the 24p look, OR I can use the DVCPRO HD frame rate converter and slow it down 2.5 times to make excellent slow motion.
    It works. BUT...as I was saying, there is a bug in which for some reason it might NOT work in the current project you have. JUST THE CONVERSION. What I do is make a new project, drag the file to convert into that...convert it, drag it back and use it. Then all is well.

  • Panasonic Frame Rate Converter available apart from FCP 6?

    The FCP 6 New Features pdf reads:
    "The DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter is now installed with Final Cut Pro. Both 720p60 and 720p50 footage can now be converted."
    Is this still a plugin, and is it available somewhere for older versions of FCP? The download on the Panasonic site is still the older version that doesn't handle 50fps.

    My thought is that it is available only as part of the FCP6 package and works internally with that.
    If you are asking if it is available for earlier versions, the answer in all probability is no.

  • Frame Rate Converter wobblies

    Anyone had this problem.
    Digitise footage from a Panasonic AG1200 at 60fps (for Varicam DVCPRO HD)
    Use the Frame Rate Converter to create reference clips from the original footage (ie 60fps to 24) then import this reference clip to discover that is actually points to another clip that I've not even touched yet. Annoying.
    Second annoyance. The Frame Rate Converter throws up a message saying "The selected media file (media file name) cannot be processed by this tool. Only DCVPRO HD 720p 59.94 and 50 fps media files are supported"
    Inspection of the media file shows it to be fully compatible and is even from the same tape as ones that work fine previous (ie no camera alterations)
    I always feel the same working with FCP, even after all these years. Initial success followed by a gradual downfall of media reference mash up and confusion and ultimate meltdown.
    My solution now will be to go the more time consuming route of creating new quicktimes from the original media and importing those into the project.
    Any thoughts appreciated.

    how many hours do I have to loose in production discovering these issues before I can sit down and actually do the 'creative' stuff.
    This comes from experience. And this is true for any editing system. You don't know that a "feature" doesn't work right until you find out yourself, or if you happen to work with someone who knows that "hey, that feature doesn't work right." I always did the self contained thing until I worked with another guy on a project. He started doing the REF thing and it seemed to streamline the production. Until it came time to lock the show and prep it for output. Then we had relinking issues. So we had to go back, make self contained files, link to those, then replace the REF ones in the sequence. And no, we won't do that again.
    Before these forums this was something found out on the job from other editors. Or by yourself thru experience. But because you bring this up, not others who didn't know about this issue might be able to avoid it.
    Now, I have a blog where I write about my experiences in editing, and share my pitfalls and successes so that this information can get out there. I was always frustrated with some feature or another on an Avid until I went to a company with 15 editors, and one of them goes "Oh, that? I figured out a way to do that..." and then they showed me. These forums are a GLOBAL way of sharing that information.
    Until now, your issue really hadn't come up. And I will have to confess that I didn't blog about it. Dunno why, I should. But now many others will benefit from this experience. And if you hang out here daily, or even a couple days a week and read thru the posts, you will find all sorts of problems you can avoid.

  • Poor Result using Panasonic Frame Rate Converter.  Please Help!

    Hey All,
    Myself and a crew of other university filmmakers shot some footage at 720P and 60 FPS on the Panasonic HVX-100 with the hopes of converting it to 24fps for smooth slow motion. We are using FCP 5.1.2 and the panasonic DVCPROHD Frame Rate Converter Tool. I am almost certain I am using the correct workflow for this, but the result yields footage that seems to be at the right speed, but is very jumpy, as if its only playing every 4th frame or so. I tried exporting the footage off the timeline as well to check and make sure it wasnt a playback problem, and it wasnt. It appears as if the converter is working incorrectly. This slow motion is vital for our project and I'm at my wits end trying to figure it out. Any help?

    Ok. I tried converting making sure that i didnt remove any frames on the import from the raw P2, as well as for the export. i tried all the combos of this. I still get the jumpy slow motion because of repeatyed frames. I did notice a combo in these repeated frames, it will play 3 of one frame, then 2 of another. could this be a pulldown problem somewhere?
    could you guys outline the settings you use to import (capture and editing timebases) as well as to edit on, and to process slow motin. I just want to make sure im not missing anything.
    The help is SO awesome. thanks for trying to work through this with me.

  • DVCProHD frame rate converter strips out audio?

    Hi,
    We are doing a capture of DVCProHD material from DVCProHD tape. They are all coming in as DVCProHD 59.94 with 23.98 flag. Unfortunately when we captured, we captured everything as DVCProHD 59.94 with no pull down.
    We are hoping to remove the duplicate frames after the fact, and tried using the DVCProHD frame rate converter tool in FCP. However, upon reading and re-writing the file, we find that FCP strips out all the audio of the original file.
    I am wondering if there is a way to remove the duplicated frames and at the same time maintain the audio tracks on the new 23.98 file.
    Thanks!
    Michael
    <Edited by Moderator>

    make a copy of your captured media and "conform" it in cinema tools. this will keep the audio but is destructive to the file thus you'll want to work from a copy in case you mess up. the frame rate convertor used to be used for variable speeds ie 48 over 24 for half speed thus thee audio would never sync and thus the FRC doe not process audio

  • Cross-frame scripting is not working in Safari 3.0.4. Minimal example code.

    Hello,
    I've found that cross-frame scripting is not working in Safari 3.0.4, as it worked
    ok on Safari 3.0.1, and in other browsers I tried: Firefox, Mozilla, IE.
    document.domain property is set to "ds2ps.net", correctly to the best of my knowledge
    in the frameset and in both frames. Both frames and frameset are loaded
    from subdomains of the same domain "ds2ps.net"
    Please have a look at this mimimal example:
    http://frameset.ds2ps.net/frames-test/frameset.html
    Press buttons to get alert with value of a variable defined in the frameset
    and in the first frame.
    This gives "undefined" in Safari 3.0.4, and give following message in Safari
    JavaScript console:
    Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL http://frameset.ds2ps.net/frames-test/frameset.html from frame with URL http://frame2.ds2ps.net/frames-test/frame2.html. Domains, protocols and ports must match.
    Works ok in all other browsers and in earlier versions of Safari.
    Apperently, I'm doing something incorrectly.
    I would appreciate if Apple Safari developers have a look at this problem and suggest solution.
    My company is developing web application which depends on cross-frame scripting,
    and we would like to continue supporting Safari browser.

  • Scrollable frames. Buttons not working.

    Hello.
    I have a problem with buttons in the scrollable frames.
    I have a slideshow with a thumb's. Each thumb consist of MSO (non active icon and active icon) and clear frame - button to that MSO and to slide foto. The thumb's grouped and placed into the frame with horizontal scroll overlay effect.
    That frame placed into another frame-pull out tab, which have vertical scroll effect. And when I pressed the button, slide fotos changes correctly, but button MSO not working.

    Sorry for my english. I need help very much.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I understand that I can use two 'states'  of the buttons. And I tried it. But. Buttons renditions are raster images. And on the retina display we had bad quality. My target was to create vector buttons. With good quality on both displays.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi (again),
    It seems that you built your stuff in a very complicated way.
    First, try to make simple!
    You mixed MSO and buttons functions. Useless and unfonctional.
    Yous should use only button panel, with two different 'states' ('Normal' and 'Clic').
    See below (no MSO function used at all for the button):

  • DVCPro HD frame rate issues

    I'm sure that this question has been asked before, but I performed a couple searches and couldn't find a thread to perfectly answer it.
    I have a tape that was shot (with the Pansasonic HDX900, shot to tape and not P2) at two formats, 720/24P and 720/60P. Most of the tape was shot at 24P, but the cameraman shot a few minutes shot at 60P to create slow motion. Both 24P and 60P are on the same tape. I am capturing directly from the camera, not from a deck. I have a couple issues:
    1.) My device control through FCP does not seem to be working, so I can only capture with "capture now." My device control setting seems to be right (DVCPro Firewire), and I've tried to restarting FCP and the camera. It doesn't seem like this is a trash-the-prefs issue, so does anyone have any thoughts? I have driven the camera's deck through FCP before.
    2.) What is the best way to work with the different frame rates? Right now it captures at 60P no matter which capture setting I have it set at (when shot at 24P it duplicates frames to make it 60P). Is this a result of mixing formats on the same tape?
    I'm a little lost, thanks.
    Stef

    It doesn't have that function and after consulting the manual (again) I am beginning to believe that playback control is only possible internally to the camera, rather than externally from another device. It doesn't explicitly state this, but the manual DOES specifically mention the record start/stop functions but has no mention of playback start and stop.
    That said, the larger issue at the moment and for the future is the frame rate issue.

  • Ultra low frame rates, GPU not being used

    While using After effects during playback, I am getting about 10-4 FPS. With frame rates that low it's basically impossible to make any videos. I am using a desktop gadget to monitor GPU usage. I noticed that my GPU is not being used at all, 0% usage and only a few MB of memory being consumed out of 4 gigs of GDDR5. I called Adobe customer service and basically I was told that After effects only uses as much GPU power as it needs to. Ok, that makes since and If I was getting 30+ FPS then I wouldn't care, but it seems odd to me that After effects is running so poorly and not using my GPU. If my GPU was maxed out, then I would understand I need a more powerful GPU to improve frame rates, but since my GPU is not being used at all, not even a bit then I don't think it's a hardware problem, but some sort of setting that is not right. The only thing I could think of is that my HDD is pretty slow or that GTX cards are not designed to run Open Gl and maybe that's the problem, but I double checked the Adobe website and GTX cards are supported.  Also I downloaded some other GPU monitoring software to double check and both the Desktop gadget and the GPU software monitor show no activity. I am really new to After effects.  Thanks for help.

    That's because it appears that you're using AE incorrectly.  I bet you're assuming that if you hit the space bar, AE plays back video like a video editing application.
    Well, it doesn't.
    AE is an effects, motion graphics and compositing application.  It's designed to do completely different things than an editing application does.  Hence, it doesn't work like an editing application does.  For example, IT DOESN'T PLAY BACK VIDEO IN REAL TIME.  That's why you got that getting started link.  At least do yourself the favor of reading how AE works. 
    And for the purposes of this thread, it wouldn't hurt you to learn how to RAM Preview: hit zero on the numeric keypad and see what happens.  It's just one of the many basics you need to know before you jump into the deep end of the pool with AE.

    Hi Kirk,
    Ultimately I am trying to conform to PAL. My project was shot on a Canon 5D MK2 at 30 fps. I'm currently using Sony Vegas to do my edit which has been completed.
    I dont really like the look of how vegas drops frames when I set it to 25 fps so I wanted to see how quicktime treated the frame rate conversion but when I change the setting it seems to have no effect.
