DVCPROHD 1080i/60 must be converted to 24p.

My film was being shot on a Panasonic HDX-900 at 1080i/60, 24p.
Unfortunately it looks like my entire last day of shooting was NOT done at 24p. By mistake.
Is it possible that FCP took out the pulldown when capturing?
Can FCP or Cinema Tools add a pulldown without loss, or am I screwed?

Unfortunately it was shot at straight 60i. It was supposed to be shot at 24p.
My DP is very thorough and careful. And I remember him spending a lot of time in the camera menus before we shot--so this is a big surprise. So I'm still holding out hope that somehow the tapes are ok and the pulldown was taken out when captured or even later; I can't imagine not noticing this when I was capturing the footage in December.

"Text Table must be converted" error

BW Gurus,
We just applied stack 15 to our BI 7.0 system (SAP_BW 0017), and are now getting an error with one of our infoobjects.
The error states that the text table must be converted, as below, but we're not quite sure what this means. This infoobject is in several infoproviders, and we get a follow up error that we must remove the infoobject from the transfer rules before it can be converted. Has anyone come up with a solution/work around for this?
Thanks
First Error:
Characteristic 0IND_CODE: The Long Text Field will be deleted, text table must be converted
Message no. R7451
Diagnosis
The Long Text Field was deleted from the text table of characteristic 0IND_CODE.
System Response
All texts, that have been saved in this field, are deleted in the activation.
The text table must be converted after the activation if it contains data.
Second error:
InfoObject 0TXTLG is used in transfer rules (T) of characteristic 0IND_CODE
Message no. R7256
Diagnosis
InfoObject 0TXTLG is still used for characteristic 0IND_CODE in the transfer rules of type T ('M': Master data, 'T': Texts). You have the following options:
1. InfoObject 0TXTLG is an attribute of characteristic 0IND_CODE
2. InfoObject 0TXTLG is the 'Valid to' field of the time-dependent characteristic 0IND_CODE (0DATETO)
3. InfoObject 0TXTLG is the 'Valid from' field of the time-dependent characteristic 0IND_CODE (0DATEFROM)
4. Characteristic 0IND_CODE is compounded to InfoObject 0TXTLG.
5. Characteristic 0TXTLG is a text field of charactersitic 0IND_CODE (OTXTSH, 0TXTMD or 0TXTLG).
6. Characteristic 0TXTLG is the language field for characteristic 0IND_CODE (0LANGU).
System Response
2 cases have to be distinguished between here:
InfoObject 0TXTLG with characteristic 0IND_CODE can not be removed in the dialog.
InfoObject 0TXTLG is removed with characteristic 0IND_CODE in the transport post-processing.
Procedure
You must first remove InfoObject 0TXTLG from the transfer rules for characteristic 0IND_CODE in the dialog before you can remove it with characteristic 0IND_CODE.
If this messages appears with transport post-processing, you should check the affected transfer rules.
If there is still an InfoObject 0TXTLG in them, you should either remove it from the transfer rules or reinsert it with characteristic 0IND_CODE.

Thanks - sometimes the simplest answer is the best.
I had been trying to figure out why the med & long text had become unchecked, but rechecking them solved the problem.

I create name plaques using TypeStyler, but my laser cutter says they must be converted into two vector files; a cut file to cut the outlines of all the letters and an "etch" to etch the letter intersect lines. Can AI convert my TypeStyler file into a cut file and an etch file?

Thanks. I might use it soon...
Does it automatically make folders named after the volume labels? And does it handle the conversion of spaces and non-alphanumeric characters to octal codes?
I could read the script but it would be faster for everyone reading, if you leave the answer as a reply.
I also think that there should be some major work done on modernizing the fstab, either by replacing it with a better implementation of file system mounting or changing the file structure and adding in better handling of non-alphanumerics. I don't want to have to look up a stupid octal table every time I type in my labels.

This project must be converted from version (macintosh 64) 12.0.x293. The original file will be unchanged

Hi there,
I'm making my first steps in After Effects.
I bought Classroom in a book After Effects cc.
The first step i have to take in lesson 1 is "Open and play the lesson01.mov sample movie to see what you will create in this lesson.
When i dubbel click this file.. this message pops up in AE (This project must be converted from version (macintosh 64) 12.0.x293. The original file will be unchanged)
The file will not play, and in the composition panel only a test image appears.
Why is this and how can i fix it?
I allready finished Lesson 1 but i still hope someone can explain me this message.
I hope its not a stupid question but it is particularly difficult for me because English is not my native language and all the lesson material is in English.
Kind regards
Kay

The warning simply means that the file was created in an older version of AE. The other issue is that you did not put your footage in the correct locations and it is missing. Use File --> Replace Footage to point to the proper storage locations.

Does converted MTS 24p footage also require "pulldown" process?

Hi.
I am using a Canon HF20 camcorder. The files are MTS. I was shooting in 24p mode. I have FCP 6, which apparently cannot handle MTS media. So I found a way to convert the files to HDV (or AIC) via an application called Clipwrap. My question is: Must I also deal with the extra-frame/pulldown problem (endemic to usual 24p footage) of the new clip, or has that been taken care of in the conversion process? If not, is there a way to tackle both these issues (MTS conversion, pulldown) in one fell swoop?
Thanks,
Marc

you can usually drop 24p material into a 29.97 fps timeline without any issues EXCEPT that fcp does not add pulldown in the best way. If I remember correctly, fcp just repeats the 4th frame. This may or may not be objectionable when you view it. You can add pulldown with full flexibility in After Effects. I don't imagine it would be a big deal to do this after you've locked picture.
My mantra is 'TEST YOUR WORKFLOW" from soup to nuts (ingest to output in delivery format). I sometimes make DP's, producers, etc crazy, but better them than me.
And yeah, sometimes it is just simpler to shoot 29.97. But most importantly is what is your end use. i recently finished a doc that had to be output to a digital cinema package for academy award consideration. The specs demanded 24 fps (not 24p aka 23.976). My sources were all over the place. Landed up using compressor to change the frame rate of all material to 23.986 and then the post house doing the dcp output conformed to 24.

Converting 1080 24p to 1080 301

Seems I'm needing to go the opposite direction from most folks here, convert 24p to 30i. And I'm new to HD, so please bear with me.
I'm doing an off line edit for a project that will be finalized elsewhere to air in HD 1080 30i. We are sending them the HDCAM tapes, they are sending me time coded dvcam dubs of the HD material. Some of the material was shot on film, and we got the HDCAM tapes in as 1080 23.98. The dub house (who will online the final project in HD) told my producer the material can not be converted to 30i because it "would have to be rendered and then the quality would be unacceptable". They also work with Final Cut.
Can anyone give me a heads up as to what's involved in this process? Is it something the Final Cut suite doesn't handle? I looked here and online, but most folks want to convert the other way. I did see answers here suggesting simply dropping the 24p material into a 30i timeline, then rendering. Does that give choppy results? I had thought that Cinema Tools or Compressor would be able to handle this smoothly, though there might be a bit of rendering involved (creating frames versus removing them). Obviously movies do end up being broadcast on TV, so it can be done. I'm looking at maybe 6 or 7 clips, 2 to 4 minutes each. Is this something that has to done during the initial conversion from film? Best case scenario is that I just had 2 non technical people talking to each other. Worst case is that it will be an expensive lesson. I'd welcome any thoughts. ("Find out all the details before you agree to anything" has already occurred to me)

Thanks guys, I'll do some of the heavy reading after dinner Zeb. As to Shane's questions:
But of course leads to the question can the 29.98
frame rate be easily converted to 59.94
Yes, quite easily. But...what are you converting
from and to? What are you shooting that is 29.97 and
needs to be upconverted?
Some material that was originally shot on film came to me as HDCAM 23.98
Most material was originally shot on HDCAM and is 59.94 (I must assume), there is no problem converting this material to DVCAM.
then have that converted to a DVCAM tape I can
work from?
Downconverting to DVCAM is easy as well. All this
can be done at a post facility. Even converting
23.98 to DVCAM at 29.97 is fairly standard. Then you
can reverse telecine the footage to 23.98 and do your
offline cut.
HDCAM downconverted to DVCAM is standard. It would
be better to remain in an HD realm if you can,
transfer the HDCAM to DVCPRO HD and capture and work
with that. All you need is a firewire 800 drive or
better yet, a couple eSATA units. I am using the
caldigit.com S2VR Duos myself for DVCPRO HD.
I am still curious as to why you need to convert
29.97 to 59.94?
Good advice on staying HD, but late in the project for that. The workflow from my last project was this:
1. Post house dubbed HDCAM tapes to DVCAM, sent them to me, I put together the project.
2. I sent my project files to the post house along with a reference DVD and associated files
3. Post house batch captures from HDCAM using my project file time code, does regular post tweeking.
The only new element that seems to be a problem this time is that the post house is telling me they can't convert the 23.98 material to a format they can use (59.94), then get me DVCAM dubs of that material.
And an update, just got an email as I was writing saying they can do it but it would take too long. They can ship the tapes out of house but it would be "really expensive".

Can FCE convert PF24 (24p @ 60i) into true 24p?

I am looking at purchasing a Canon HF-S100 which can shoot in 24p @ 60i. I use FCE 4. Is it possible to have FCE4 or some other program take this footage and convert it to true 24p? If not, can it be done with FC Pro? Thanks for the help!
Brian

FCE does not support 24p media. You need FCS. You would need to completely decompressed the media into another format. Compressor can do it. At high quality it's a very slow process.

Dvcprohd 1080i to DVD

Have footage of a presentation that was shot with the Panasonic HPX500 1080i. Have it all edited in CS4 with the correct project setting. Some of the recipients require a DVD (NTSC) instead of Blu-Ray so I need to convert to SD and author a DVD (in Encore).
Just wondering if anyone has any settings out of CS4 (4.2) with 1080i footage with excellent results and could post. Don't know if using Dynamic Link straight to Encore is an acceptable option.
Thanks

Thanks Jeff...I did watch your video. It is good stuff and I will try your settings you used in the 1080i part to see how the results come out. We have a pretty fast editing rig and for the 1 hour or so of the presentation, AME was needing around 5 hours. I'll let it run tonight to see how it comes out.
I did see Dan's guide and will give a try next to see how it comes out.
We have the Blackmagic HD Extreme 3 in here just for testing exported out an BM AVI uncompressed AVI file NTSC wide and then into Encore. Came out ok, nothing great. Was too "soft" for my taste.
I'll try Dan's right now then your's overnight and see how it comes out.
Thanks

Shooting in 60p for handheld, converting to 24p?

I want to shoot at 60P so I can use a higher shutter speed when shooting handheld, it seems that would make it easier. However, I like the look of 24p. I realize that I can drop a 60p clip into a 24p sequence and it will convert it and make it work for me. But I don't want it to still look like 60p but in a 24p timeline.
I came to premiere recently from Final Cut Pro, I do not know if premiere does this, but in Final Cut Pro when I dropped it into the time line of 24p, it still looked like a 60p video. I want it to remove frames, creating the blur that happens on the 24p.
And I don't want it to be in slow motion.

I want to shoot at 60P so I can use a higher shutter speed when shooting handheld, it seems that would make it easier.
I don't follow your reasoning at all here. For starters, most cameras will let you change the shutter speed without also changing the frame rate. More that that, I'm not understanding how changing shutter speed would make shooting handheld any 'easier'.

Batch Convert 1080/24p to 720/24p... AND Conform to Real-Time

Hi there! A little bit of a conundrum, but I'm sure the answer is out there.
I have about 4 hours of content that was shot on the Sony FS700. The clips were shot at varying frame rates, but the FS700 automatically conforms high-speed footage at 1080/24p. We've already imported to ProRes 422, but I also have the source media (as shot) still available.
I need to covert everything to 720p/24, and also conform to real-time. There's obviously a VERY long story as to why I'd need to "throw out" frames, but that's beside the point. We've all dealt with silly clients...
Rest assured, our group will edit with the original media (and just speed up when we need real-time.) Any suggestions? I'm on a Mac with Adobe CS6 (new convert!) and Final Cut Studio 3. I also own Telestream Episode. THANKS!

Thanks very much for your help. Yes, it was the faster frame rate I was thinking that I thought could help for the fast action sequences. I was concerned about the jello problem that might be more noticeable at a lower frame rate in fast action scenes. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the GH1 doesn't shoot interlaced, only 1080p and 720p in its movie modes.
Actually, sorry I made a mistake in my previous post. In 720, the Gh1 shoots at 60fps, not 30.
My plan was for the timeline sequence to be 1080 and just drop the 720/60p scenes into the 1080/24p timeline. On the GH1, the advantage of shooting in the 720/60p mode is the great slow motion shots you get when slowed down to 24p. Otherwise, yes, the majority would be 24p.

Converting 1080 24p to SD 60i

I have finshed editing a :30 commercial that was shot at 24
p 1080
on EX-1. I need to render out three versions of this spot. One needs
to be 1080i 29.97, one needs to be 72
0p and finaly a standard def 16:9 1.2 format. what is the best way to render these without it making these "ghosting" duplicate frame effects?

When I take project into AE and place into
sd comp at 29.97, it seems to do fine. AE adds the frames
( drop down I guess) and no apparent frame ghosting effect

How do I convert 1080 24p NTSC to PAL format, - whats the right frame rate ?

I have some footage* that I want to convert to PAL HD.   Currently its in NTSC HD.
What is the best frame rate / frame size to convert into? Do I have to convert it up to 50fps (or 25fps) and turn it into interlaced?

PAL is 720 x 576 pixels interlaced (bottom first).
If it's 16:9 aspect ratio, you need to select "Anamorphic" and the frame rate it 25 fps.
If you need help with Compressor settings - I use Best for everything including re-sizing - processing is slow but the result is excellent.
I believe you can use MPEG Streamclip for converting, but I have not tried it.

Sony mts 60i files convert to 24p?

how would you do the hd conversion with least quality loss
thx

In that case, you have two options: do it in Compressor, or use a third-party software such as Nattress Standards Conversion. Compressor has the obvious advantage of being free-- Nattress will almost always give you better results.

PPRO 7.2.2 UPDATE: Missing GPU acceleration and project must be converted?

I just installed PPRO 7.2.2, and getting two errors when opening my project to continue to work on it:
The graphics card is a NVIDIA GTX660, which worked fine until the update of 7.2.2.
The second error I get is:
I was working in this project, and in between installed the last CC update, which I do about every 3 months. I especially do not update more often, because many times after major updates I get unpleasant surprises with malfunctioning programs, drivers, wacom tablets, operating systems etcetera. So now this came up. And I think I will even go back to updating only once every 6 months or maybe even once a year, because there always seems to be some issue after a major upgrade of the CC apps. By the way I love the Adobe CC apps, just not want to loose time after each update repairing my computers!
So anyone has some advice what to do here, or maybe I will just roll back to my previous windows backup and uninstall this latest CC upgrade I think?
Thank you, Sebastiaan FP

Ann,
Yes I read and thank you for responding again. Sorry for my strong words. I really love Adobe CC, its beautiful and great, but since I am new in this field there is an ocean of things to learn, and sometimes get carried away in my emotional reactions with hardware errors like these. So I just rolled back in windows to the previous backup before the upgrade to 8.0.0 and everything is rolling again. After half a year or so I will try to upgrade again. The 7.2.2 CC version is already magic enough for me now and more than I can swallow!

Convert 1080i/60, 29.97 fps to 1080i/50

I need to convert a number of 50 minute programs from DVCROHD 1080i/60 to DVCPROHD 1080i/50. I tried using compressor, but get jerky motion and I lost one of 4 tracks when I made the conversion. track was there, but no audio on track.
Any suggestions?
thx..jw

There are a couple of things you'll need to look out for. First, you have to use frame controls. Click on the button and then click that gear next to 'Frame Controls'. Turn 'Frame Controls' on. For 'Output Fields' if you leave it 'Same as source', compressor is going to set the field dominance to be whatever it thinks your source field dominance is. So, if you're using that option, make sure it is (source field dominance) is right. If it's not, set to 'Top First' or 'Bottom First' whichever is right. Next jump down to 'Rate Conversion'. Set this to 'Good' or 'Better' do not use 'Best' as it's ridiculously slow and, in my opinion, not much better than 'Better. This transcodes will take much longer because of the use of frame controls. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

DVCPROHD 1080i/60 must be converted to 24p.
