DVCPRO HD project with HDCAM

Hi there. If anyone can give me some pointers on this i'd really appreciate it.
I'm just about to start editing a documentary project which we shot entirely on DVCPRO HD at 1080i 25p. I'm intending to cut this natively in the DVCPRO HD codec after capturing via my KONA 3.
The problem i have is that some footage I need to complete the edit which is being dubbed direct from a feature project is being delivered in HDCAM format.
What would be the best format for me to digitise this footage in to enable me to work with it in the DVCPRO HD project as seamlessly as possible? Can i capture HDCAM through the KONA and cross convert to DVCPRO HD??
This may be a simple one, but I'm new to the KONA 3 and mixed format HD projects so help would be very much appreciated!
thanks
Alex

DVCPRO HD 1080i 50 or 25.

  • Doc Project with format confusion- need advice

    I have a documentary project with a plethora of footage formats because the doc spans a long length of time and different project collaborators. We just shot more footage and I don't want to move forward converting the new footage until I know the best path to take form here on out. please advise.
    Here is the info.
    Below i'm listing the descritption of footage, the format, and the % I'm predicting it will be used in the final edit of the documentary I'm working on.
    Archival Footage: DV NTSC 720x480 (10%)
    Original footage shot: DV NTSC 720x480 anamorphic (40%)
    Additional Footage shot in Summer 2010 with Panasonic HVX200: DVCPRO HD 720p60 29.97 (35% shared with canon 7D footage listed below)
    Additional Footage shot in Summer 2010 with Canon 7D: shot 1920x1080 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422, pixel aspect square. I converted this footage to 720p60 29.97 to match the Panasonic footage but I still have the original files saved. (35% shared with hvx200 footage listed above)
    New Footage shot with Canon 7D: 1920x1080 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422, pixel aspect square (15%)
    Timelines:
    - I edit the SD footage in timelines with SD sequence settings matching the format of the footage
    - I edit the HD footage in timelines with DVCPRO HD sequence settings matching the format of the footage
    - when footage of both formats ends up in one 'scene' the timeline is DV NTSC 720x480
    - when I output a rough cut, I nested sequences and output DV NTSC 720x480
    I have not converted the new footage yet and before I do convert it and then transform continue editing, I feel I need to re-evauluate how I'm approaching the multi-format situation.  I need advice about the best path to take from here on out. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
    Should I upconvert the SD footage and do everything HD from now on? The final cut will probably be 50% SD and 50% HD with possibly more HD than SD.
    If I do upconvert and go HD, is 720p60 29.97 the best format for me to use considering my footage sources? If you have any ideas, please also explain how you might go about carrying them out.
    Thank you!

    Exactly, whic is why I'm seeking advice. the final delivery will be film festival screenings and hopefully broadcast, and considering the channels today that = HD.
    That's not a final decision at all, that's a series of delivery options. You must produce your project in the highest resolution for which you have space, codecs and techniucal competency.You will save that as the "final" but I'd not call it that since nothing is ever finalized. Jsut keep naming the versions. Then you will open the full rez version and use any of several conversion or compresiona apps to satisfy all other distribution needs.
    The omst flexible will be a 1080/60 format but that decision will cost you tons of conversion time, lots of space, and will require many stylistic decisions along the way.
    That's what I would do but I'm not you and I'm not your client. 

  • Convert 4.3 SD images into 16.9 DVCPro50 project with Streamclip?

    I have 2 instances of Standard video 4.3 images to fit into a 16.9 HD project.  In one case the 4.3 image is quite smaller and square (with 2 black bars top and bottom): it's 800x600 to be fitted in a 1920x1080 project.  In the other the 4.3 image is quite bigger, and Standard video to fit into a DVCPro 50 Project.  I read the definition of Letterboxing in Wikipedia but it describes converting 16.9 to 4.3 and not the other way around.  Is it possible to do it?  Could Streamclip convert the Standard video format to fit the HD project?  Many thanks in advance.

    As you said, what you are trying to do is not letterboxing. In order to fill the 1920x1080 frame you will need to scale the clips (in the motion tab) until they fit the width of your frame. But in doing so you will clearly loose quality and top and bottom cropping will occur so you might not be able to frame it as you want.
    When you place an HD clip into an SD timeline you will need to downscale pretty much in the same manner.
    If you need to scale SD clips to HD on a regular basis, you might want to look into InstantHD.

  • Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?

    Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?
    I am part of a small group of developers who wish to work on a single flex project together. Is there a way to set up flex so that the project can be developed by multiple people at the same time. I have seen one thread out on the internet about working locally and then uploading to SVn but this is not an option in this case.
    Any ideas.
    Many thanks in advance
    Dave

    I would say that rushing into development without a source-control system will cost you more in the long-run. If your organisation is serious about developing software it then it needs to invest in the necesary infrastructure, so you should get that process kicked-off as soon as possible.
    In the interim you could set-up a source control server on one developer's machine or commandeer a spare machine to use as a temporary source control server. Just make sure you have it backed-up regularly. Or you could use one of the online source control services; many will support private repositories for a small fee.

  • How do I create a NetBeans project with multiple JavaFX (FXML) dialogs?

    I'm very new to Java and JavaFX, so forgive what is probably a question asked a thousand times, but I can't seem to find the answer.
    I come from a Visual Studio (C# with WPF) background. I'm used to creating a Solution then adding a Project for each dialog/window that gets included in the Solution. Each dialog/window is a class derived from Window, and I simply create an instance of that class when I need to use the dialog.
    What I need to do is have a main window (stage) that contains two lists of participants (a red team and a blue team).
    Then I need a separate dialog for entering the information for the participant. So when a button on the main stage is pressed ("Add Red Participant"), I want to open the ParticipantDialog. When the "OK" or "Close" button on the Participant dialog is clicked, I want the dialog to be able to return a participant object to the main stage.
    Then the main stage adds that participant to the appropriate list.
    What I've gathered so far is that I will be creating an FXML file for the Participant dialog (and I assume an associated controller). Then when the "Add" button is pressed, I will call an FXMLLoader to load that FXML dialog. Something like this:
    FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("ParticipantDialog.fxml"));
    Scene scene = (Scene)fxmlLoader.load();
    final Stage participantDialog = new Stage();
    participantDialog.setScene(scene);
    First question is: is that correct so far? Am I at least on the right track?
    Next question is: how or where do I create the FXML and controller files for the participant dialog using NetBeans? Should I create a separate project to make the participant dialog and then copy those files over, or is there a way to make the files within the parent project? And if I make the participant dialog in a separate project, what's the easiest way to access it from my main stage?
    I feel like I'm missing something simple here because this seems a lot harder than it should be.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    >  is that correct so far?
    Yes the sample code you have is fine to launch a new dialog when your Add button is pressed .
    > I create the FXML and controller files for the participant dialog using NetBeans?
    You can edit FXML text in NetBeans, but I think that is kind of tedious.
    You might want to create the FXML using SceneBuilder.
    You can use SceneBuilder in NetBeans.
    You may want to get it working without FXML first.
    For example, use the JavaFX scene graph API, then convert your program to use FXML once you are more comfortable with the JavaFX system.
    The piecemeal approach cuts down on the amount of learning you need to do at one time.
    > Should I create a separate project to make the participant dialog and then copy those files over.
    No.
    Just use a single NetBeans project.
    You will have separate FXML files for your main stage and your participant dialog, but they will both be placed in the same NetBeans project.
    > is there a way to make the files within the parent project?
    In NetBeans 7.3.1, do the following:
      File | New Project | JavaFX | JavaFX FXML Application
    This will create a sample project with a sample fxml file.
    Modify the sample project files to get what you want, changing the sample fxml to your main stage fxml and adding a new participant fxml to the same directory.

  • How do I use iCloud to collaborate on a GarageBand project with a remotely located musician?

    How do I use iCloud to collaborate on a GarageBand project with a remotely located musician?  He is in Valencia, Spain, I am in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  We'd like to be able to work on the same GarageBand document together, laying down tracks, etc.
    Is there a tutorial I should look at?

    Are you using GarageBand on a Mac or on an iPad?
    With iCloud you can store your GarageBand projects in iCloud, so you can work on the same project on all your iPads, iPods, iPhones, and transfer it from your iDevices to your Mac.  But you cannot use iCloud to share a project between people with different AppleIDs.  
    To send GarageBand projects back and forth, compress the the ":band" files and mail them, if they are small enough or put them in a Dropbox or other cloud storage and mail the link.

  • Not able to create a web project with jsf or jsp or struts or spring

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a dynamic web project with jsf or jstl or struts or spring or any of web options available for a web project, but I am not able to do it.
    When I choose any of these options, the wizard asks me to "select an existing jstl/jsf/Spring 2.0 library, or click Add to add a new library." and since it doesn't show any existing libraries there, I clicked on add new library. When I click add, it opens a new dialog box where it has two options :
    1. to use spring/jstl/jsf lib from bea web site - when I choose this option, it tries to connect to the bea web site and gives me error that "connect time out". I don't know why it is not able to connect to the internet. I am not able to see the help also. There it gives error "The requested URL could not be retrieved".
    2. to use libraries from an existing spring installation - I provide the path of a directory where spring lib are, but then it gives me error that this is not a valid installation.
    On another machine, I am able to see the help contents, but still not able to get these libraries from the bea site.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Is it possible to link data across different/multiple PWA sites leveraging Master Project with the Subprojects feature?

    A couple different questions /similar scenarios
    1) Is it possible with Project Server 2010 to have several sites (http://server/pwa1 and
    http://server/pwa2 for example) communicate and build a Master Project at a third (or X) site (http://server/pwa3)
    2) Is it possible with Project Server 2010 to have several sites (http://server/pwa1 and
    http://server/pwa2 for example) communicate and build a Master Project at one of the original sites (http://server/pwa1 (for example))
    OR is there a better way to do this/more preferred way to do this. 
    We found this (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/2379c3f2-6c80-46d7-8eac-3bc2ccb2d908/master-projectsubproject-with-sites-in-pwa-2010?forum=projectserver2010general)
    but its not what we're looking for
    3a) Issue/Example -
    We want to set up a site (http://server/pwa100) for just the president of the company - all the schedules of the subsites (/pwa99 + /pwa98) create a feed into an integrated master schedule/master project with subprojects(located
    in /pwa100). 
    3b-1) We also want to set up sub sites (http://server/pwa99 and
    http://server/pwa98) for each division VPs (and specific other people). These two sites would only allow specific user's project files to be viewed by each other...
    Can their project files have linkages between the two project sites (/pwa99 and /pwa98)? Meaning if user1 logs in to /pwa99 can he see a project file (given that they have permission) from /pwa98 in the same instance?
    3b-2) Can they see the project file in ProjPro and/or PWA ???
    3c) is it possible to have:
    + /pwa100 (pres)
    ++/pwa99 & /pwa98 (two vps)
    +++/pwa97 & /pwa96 & /pwa95 & /pwa-etc (minions)
    each rolling up to the next level (level 3 rolls up to level 2 which can roll up to level 1)

    kbwrecker,
    I agree with Dale. Having multiple sites will make this difficult to set up. 
    Not knowing how your Custom Groups/Categories have been set up, have you looked into using the "Project Permissions" feature to share projects. These permissions are 'additive' to the category permissions, so you could start out with people looking at the
    projects they are authorized to via categories, and then let them share/add people as needed basis. This will also satisfy the requirement of not-loading the projects with resources..
    And finally, the department and categories need not align, except that when projects from one dept are shared t another dept resource, the visibility of custom fieds will be affected.
    Hope I did not go off on a tangent there :)
    Prasanna Adavi,PMP,MCTS,MCITP,MCT TWitter: @prasannaadavi Blog: http://www.prasannaadavi.com
    Meant to get back to this earlier - your answer is close (because its what we currently do..sort-of)
    From my understanding of this issue the users are separated by department and can only see specific projects; however, when they try to share departments between users (so they can see their projects (dept a sees dept b projects)) this works - but there
    is a bigger issue/main issue.  
    main issue: when dept B adds a new project dept. A cannot see the new project in dept B.
    This can be eliviated by removing the user/s and re-adding them to the permission structure of the deptment but overall doing this several times based on user/s and projects being added it gets to be cumbersome and just plain annoying.
    Any help/additional thoughts would be great

  • Error while deploying project with external variables

    Hi,
    We are facing issue to deploy a project which contains external variables. In the process of publishing, we check true - Smart Publish. In the deployment process I get a screen where we define the Deployment Topology. On clicking Deploy button, the next screen we get an error which says:
    Error(s) found while creating external variables for the following engines: <Engine_Name>: Login failed for the user '<DB User>'.
    The DB User and the databases are created by the ALBPM Configuration wizard while configuring. We are able to login to SQL using the same userId and also can access the tables in the database. Also, we use the same DB userId for the Engine Databse too.
    We are using ALBPM Enterrpise 5.7 MP3
    WebLogic 9.2
    SQL Server 2005
    If anyone has resolved such issue earlier, we need your urgent help.
    Please suggest
    Thanks and Regards
    Jayant

    Hi,
    When you initially ran the wizard to create the Engine tables you used a user and password that had been granted CREATE table authority for Sql Server.
    When you publish and deploy a project with External Variables (project variables in 6.0), you are adding columns to one of the Engine's tables. When you get the error you're getting, this normally means that the database user you specified has not been granted ALTER privileges for the database tables.
    This should be pretty easy for your DBA to check out and fix. Once they do the GRANT, do the publish and deploy once again.
    Hope this helps,
    Dan

    END;Can anyone with the experience of PA_PROJECT_PUB make comment on this Delete Project block? On the struncture level is it correct?
    I run it and get
      pa_project_pub.delete_project(
    ERROR at line 48:
    ORA-06550: line 48, column 3:
    PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'DELETE_PROJECT'
    ORA-06550: line 48, column 3:
    PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    Please make your comment on the structure (the logic)  of the delete project before providing the advice on the debug.
    I would like to make sure the logic is correct first.
    TIA
