DVCProHD 720P60 delivery/problems with QT Converter settings

Hi, I'm looking for some guidance on meeting my delivery requirements.
Footage is DVCProHD 720p60, shot on Panasonic HVX200.
Imported into FCP easysetup for 720p60, sequence at 23.98, anamorphic not checked.
Clips are 23.98, 960x720, not labled as anamorpic.
Delivery specs are: 1920x1080, 16:9
29.97, 2:1 Interlaced
My concerns are with maintaining the 16:9 ratio during export, changing my frame from 960x720 to 1920x1080, and the change in frame rate. I've done several test outputs using QT Conversion; the DVD I burned looked poor on my tv (jagged edges, a little choppy), and if I import the QT back into my project, the frame is 4:3. I'm fairly certain that I'm just missing the correct combination of settings in QT Converter. Any advice would be very much appreciated! Thank you!

We are editing a 2 hour feature at 23.98 DVCPRO HD 1080i60 right now, on my 8 core. The source material was shot on the new Arrie 416 ( awesome super 16 camera, result was a print that looked shot on 35) then transfered to DVCPRO HD 1920x1080 progressive 23.98 using the DVCPRO HD 1080i60 codec and were delivered as QT movie files from the telecine house. And I believe will go back out to film.
Since 23.98 and 29.97 both run at the same speed, I'm not sure I see the need to set the frame controls, for 23.98 projects. (which doubles or triples the conversion time) If you gave the sound mixers or composer, a 23.98 project and they set their session to 29.97, they would be in sync. Some of the frame boundaries will be different, but they will play at the same speed.
To do a basic 29.97 conversion for sound mixing and the composer, I've found it faster to output my reels to either a QT self-contained or reference movie. and then bring those into compressor and submit it using a virtual cluster. I use the default DV NTSC settings, which has Frame Controls set to "Automatically selected: Off" and it works just fine. A 22 min reel takes less than 7 mins to convert. With FC on the conversion for a 20 min reel is anywhere between 20 to 30 mins.
I've also used the Photo-jpeg and Apple ProRes 422 settings for better quality conversions. I just duplicated the default settings, the changed the frame rate to 29.97, set Frame controls to Automatically selected: Off, and set the frame size and aspect. Again the conversion time is about 5 to 8 mins for a 20 min reel.

I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

A Problem with Region Format Settings

Hi!
I have a peculiar problem with Region Format settings on my iPod touch (Settings > General > International > Region Format). It appears that iPod touch can support more region formats than it is stated on that list. Once I registered my iPod, I selected my location, Lithuania, and it automatically set (I think because of this action, and not another, like my PC settings) Region Format to Lithuanian. Although it is nonexistent on the menu list! Good news!
However, the problem is that while I explored my iPod I accidentally checked another region, and there is no "cancel" option. So my region switched to another. And now I am not able to switch it back to Lithuanian again because there is no such selection (reset or restore didn't help).
Has anybody any suggestions how could I return to my preferred region format (Lithuanian)? Thanks!

thats interesting. I think the ipod took those settings from your computer/mac.
anyway, shouldn't there be something near you that has the same region format settings? maybe you can just use something that's exactly the same.
and btw: some of the regions have arrows next to them which brings you to subregions of that region. maybe you should check that out?
otherwise ... well ... I think only a restore would bring back the original settings.

Problem with cineon converter in CS5.5?

I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem when going from log to lin and back to log in CS 5.5.
As a test, I import a 10-bit log cin or dpx file into CS 5.5 and apply 2 instances of the Cineon Converter effect with the following settings:
1st Instance:
Conversion Type: Log to Linear
10 Bit Black Point: 95
Internal Black Point: 0
10 Bit White Point: 685
Internal White Point: 1
Gamma: 1.70
Highlight Rolloff: 0
2nd Instance:
Conversion Type: Linear to Log
10 Bit Black Point: 95
Internal Black Point: 0
10 Bit White Point: 685
Internal White Point: 1
Gamma: 1.70
Highlight Rolloff: 0
Project = 32bpc
Working Space = None
Blend Colors Using 1.0 Gamma = Off
File Interpretation = Full Range
These settings should take my image from log to lin and back with no loss of information. Unfortunately, the under-black information in the image does not survive the conversion process. I've tried several different log images and get the same results. Using the classic cineon "Marcie" calibration image as my test image illustrates this problem perfectly. All of the black that surrounds marcie shifts to a dark gray after the conversion process instead of returning to black.
Doing this same test in CS3 and CS4 works as expected - there is no loss of information. Under-blacks, over-whites and all normal range values are preserved.
Any ideas?
thanks

Yes we are having the exact same problem, the blacks shift and/or clip in CS5 and 5.5 but not CS3. This is a big problem for our workflow. Was there ever an answer to this?

Exporting DVCPRO HD 720p60 Quality Problems with P2 footage.

I have ingested several clips from P2 cards some shot at 24 and some at 60 using fcp 5.1.4. When I go to export out a QT file I choose file>export>using quick time conversion. Under format options I select DVCPRO HD 720p60 for compression type, but I get no quality settings under the compressor heading to modify. Just Motion, preview and data rate. All of wich are locked... When I hit okay the movie settings dialog box reads Compression:DVCPRO HD 720p60 Quality: Medium Dimensions: 960x720 (1248x702) (Compressor Native). How do I change the quality to best? A friend told me he had the option to change in fcp v 5.0.1. Also, in the Sequence Setting Dialog Box under QuickTime Video Settings I select Advanced and it shows me the compression type DVCPRO HD 720p60 and Motion with Frames per second, but the box under Compressor is blank as well. Is my software faulty or am I going about exporting exporting a high quality QT HD 720p60 file the wrong way?
Secondly, when I ingest footage from a P2 card does it maintain the frame rate data that it was captured at digitally regardless of the projects audio video settings? I ask this because one project I did the easy setup after I already created a sequence by mistake with dv settings and the footage show a vid rate in the bin at 23.98 fps regardless if it is footage shot at 23.98 or 59.94. When I made a new project using the easy setup from the start and ingested a clip shot at 60 it show in the as vid rate of 59.94 not 239.8 like the first project I made. A tad confused as I feel I am not getting the best quality out of my footage. Does this have to do with setting the camera to 24pn for variable frame rates? Or does the vid rate pull from the project setting?
As a side note, some of the footage I export appears to be slightly grainy, not sure if this is a result of the setting problems I am having.
Thank You in Advance!!!
Best,
Hans

If you are trying to export and maintain the same quality you have in the timeline then you don't need to use conversion. Just export to Quick Time Movie and check the box for Use Current Settings and Make Self Contained.

Problems with file block settings

We manage file block settings via group policy. I have run into problems with the file block settings not working as advertised.
I've run into a couple of issues:
First, in Excel 2010 I would like to open Web Page and XML files in protected view rather than blocking entirely. Our "Set Default File Block Behavior" in the GPO is set to "Blocked Files are not opened." According to the
documentation, the settings for individual file types should be able to override this behavior but this is not the case in my testing. If I set "Web pages and Excel 2003 XML spreadsheets" to "Allow editing and Open in Protected View"
the files are still blocked and the Trust Center list the file as Do not open, not the GPO setting of open in protected view. I have verified via GPresults that the GPO applied successfully, rebooted the PC, etc. The "Set Default File Block
Behavior" is NOT overridden by individual file type settings.
According to the "plan file block settings" technet article:
The “Set default file block behavior” setting specifies how blocked files open (for example: does not open, opens in protected view, or opens in protected view but can be edited). If you enable this setting, the default file block behavior you specify applies
to any file format that users block in the Trust Center UI. It also applies to a specific file format only if you both enable its file format setting (for more information about individual file format settings, see the tables in this article) and select the
Open/Save blocked, use open policy option. Otherwise, if you configure an individual file format setting, it overrides the
Set default file block behavior setting configuration for that file type.
Second, even if I do change the set default file block behavior to open in protected view, I still cannot open XML spreadsheets. The trust center says that the file format is set to open in protected view but when I attempt to open a file it behaves
as if the setting was still set to block entirely.
The only thing that works is setting it to "do not block" which is not where I'd like to go - I would for security reasons like these types of files to open in protected view but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this contrary to the Technet
documentation.

Hi,
I had opened a case at Microsoft in 2012 about the «Open/Save Block, use open policy» parameter about HTM/HMTL files... Here is the answer I got from the support.
Hope it will help
Thank you for contacting Microsoft regarding your recent Office 2010 Hotfix request (SR 112022071246968) in reference to File Block settings on web pages. We have conducted a thorough investigation into this matter
and while we recognize the impact the issue is having on your business, we cannot accept this Hotfix request because it is acting as designed.<u5:p></u5:p>
Office will block any files that are explicitly set in the File Block UI by an Administrator when there is no built in validator. The Office File Validation scans and validates certain kinds of files and will
only display those applicable files in Protected View. We could provide a safe experience in Protected View for HTM, but it wouldn't be a useful experience. Linked content of the web page is not available (images, stylesheets, javascript, etc), so the
user would effectively see plain text. This is not the experience we want in Protected View, and it would encourage users to leave Protected View, putting their machine at risk. So HTM/HTML files are blocked.<u5:p></u5:p>

Problem with unit converter widget

I am having a weird problem with my unit converter widget on 10.4.9.
I re-installed my system, and now when I go to open the unit converter widget, I can no longer see the British pound currency, there are all these othere European currencies.
Is there anyway to get the British pound currency back, do I need to re-install the widget, and how do I do that.

Then I'd try removing & reinstalling it...

If it's one that came with OSX, you may have to get pacifist to extract it from your install Disk.

Problems with loading / saving settings of the lightening filter

I've problems with Photoshop CS2 / Windows 2000. If I open the dialog for the lightening filter, the list of the standard-settings is empty. And I can't also save any custom setting.
In the folder of the filter-settings and all standard-setting-files are available.
I tried to rename and reinstall the prefs-file and the whole program. But without success.
What's the reason? File system (NTFS)? User-rights in the file-settings? Registry-entries? Who knows a way to solve this problem?

Converting DVCProHD into MP4 Problems with audio

Hi.
i guess i'm stumped. i've tried everything i know to correct my problem. but...
anywho... my problem is that i have a sequence in FCP that is DVCProHD 720p 60p and i am trying to export with compressor to post the vid on Youtube.
i realize that youtube is not going to let my video look great... but they do support HD now, so i have an HD version available to watch on youtube... but my problem is that the audio on the highly compressed .flv version (default youtube) sounds like it's underwater, and i've treid everything i know to fix it.
here's the link so you can see what i mean:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lffJymf5Cdk
i used h.264 for dvd as the compression on this one. but nothing seems to work in getting the audio correct...

That underwater sound is a result of the mp3 encoding using an FFT.
You hear the same effect on mobile phones with background sounds.
The solution is to make the sounds louder.
Look at your sound on a meter. Your levels are extermely low.
Try to compress or maximixe them (I mean level compression,
not data compression.) so that the are peaking at around -12dbFS.
Then do the mp3 compression.
Of course, it's a problem that your source material is mp3.
And doing the compression twice at low levels really messes it up.
However, it probably sounds OK in FCP. so do the level change there,
before you recompress it. It would be even better if you could start
with a non-mp3 version of the original music.

Big problem with DNG converter

Hi
I would like to convert all my RAW CR2 canon to DNG (The format RAW CR2 change every time) and work with my PSE
I downloded DNG converter 6.5 and make a test but there is a big problème, the date of the .dng is not the date of the RAW, it's date of the convert...for me, it's impossible i want keep the original date.
Please, could you help me......
Thanks

The problem is that the file date is changed by dng converter, when I want to rename the file with DNG as a parameter of the date of creation of the photo, the renamer is in the name of the date of creation dng, it can not go to my ranking of my photos ....
There are three potential dates with a digital capture, the Date/Time the file was created, the date/time the file was modified and the EXIF metadata Date/Time Original which is recorded by the camera at the moment of exposure. It is this final Date/Time that you would want to use in a name. Any time you create a new file–which is what DNG Converter is designed to do, you'll get a new date/time of that file's creation. That's not something the DNG Converter can change. If you take the DNG into ACR/Lightroom and modify the settings, you'll get a new date/time of the modification. However, the EXIF metadata will still correctly indicate the moment the capture was created in the EXIF Date Time Original tag.
So, what are you using to rename the files? If you are using Bridge to rename the file, the Date Time option when set to Date Created should be using the EXIF Date Time Original tag as the source of the date/time. Other apps should also be able to be set to use the EXIF Date Time Original tag.

Speed change problems with up converted DV widescreen to HD

I UP converted standered DV wide screen to HDV. when I try and play it back with footage I filmed in HDV it works fine. The sequence settings are set to HDV1080i60. There are only problems when I try to slow the Up converted DV footage. The video appears very shaky. When I view it frame by frame it plays the frame before last before advancing to the next frame
Basically it shakes. But only when frame blending is ON.
the regular HDV footage is very clear and very smooth

well, my guess is that, for whatever reason, when the DV (lower field) media was recompressed to HDV (upper field) the field dominance was not correctly reversed as it should have been ... consequently, regardless of the dominance reported by the clip, it is nonetheless wrong.
you might try going back to compressor and retesting on a DV clip whilst tweaking the settings ... see if you can discover the cause and the cure.
you might also want to try sidestepping the issue with a deinterlace filter ... Effects>Video>De-interlace - test with the different levels of flicker filtering, see what gives you best results.
also check out the proapptips website http://www.proapptips.com - there are a number of links to providers of plugins, both free and commercial, i'm pretty sure that one of the free ones has a field-shifting plug or some such ... you should have a poke around, see what you can find

Problem with JTree converting Node to string

I have a problem that I cannot slove with JTree. I have a DefaultMutalbeTreeNode and I need its parent and convert to string. I can get its parent OK but cannot convert it to string.
thisnode.getParent().toString() won't work and gives an exception
thisnode.getParent() works but how do I convert this to string to be used by a database.
Thanks
Peter Loo

You are using the wrong method to convert it to a String array.
Try replacing this line:
String[] tabStr = (String[])strList.toArray();
With this line:
String[] tabStr = (String[])strList.toArray( new String[ 0 ] );
That should work for you.
