Easy setup options? Import settings for AVCHD 1920x1080 PF30 .

I have recorded AVCHD 1920x1080 PF30 clips. What setting should I use to import the clips? I see 1920x1080 i60 and i50.

You want AVCHD 1920*1080 i60. For the files you import as well as the sequence you create, under item properties change the field dominance to "none" - then you'll have your progressive sequence.

  • What are the correct setup and system settings for importing HDV video from tape?

    I keep trying different "easy setups" and system settings/preferences in order to import both the audio and video from HDV recordings on miniDV tape to no avail in either FCE4 or FCP5.  I import via firewire from the camera.  My computer "sees" the camera and controls playback (I can hear the audio) but no video displays for capture (just color bars).
    My camera is a Canon Vixia HV40 and my computer is a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I've tried the HDV easy setup...no video...
    I've tried HDV 1080i/60 as I saw recommended somewhere else...no video...
    Captures standard video just fine but I'd like to try editing some higher def footage.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks.

    The combination of all these helpful ideas solved the problem.
    I set AV settings to HD and Apple Intermediate Codec HDV 1080i/60 AND set the cameras output to "locked" HDV.  Funny, it had been on "A" (Auto) before and should have simply sensed the need for HD output.  I then tried to capture using "A" again and this time it detected the difference between SD footage and HDV footage (I had clips of both kinds on the same tape).
    I ran similar capture tests on FCP 5.1, FCE 4, and FCPX and all three programs captured HDV video and audio.
    Thanks again everyone.  Be sure the camera is set to output HDV or "A".

  • Highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;ylt=AooGuxvheq40oC0etoPY8yvty6IX;ylv=3?qid=20090909143724AALIlSP
    *What are the highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?*
    I just got iTunes 9 and I want to know what the HIGHEST quality import settings are with the exception of Apple Lossless. I usually import cd's as
    AAC
    Stereo Bit Rate: 320kbps
    Sample Bit Rate: 48.000 kHz
    Channels: Stereo
    Now when I go into the custom menu and try to set these settings, it gives me an error message that reads the following:
    "The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed."
    I was thinking about using WAV but I want a format that will be compatible with other/future personal media players as well such as Zune's and Creative MP3 players. Right now I have an iPod and don't plan on changing anytime soon. I just want the highest quality sound for my ears to hear.
    so, *What is the highest for AAC?*
    *Should I switch to WAV?*
    & if you could, *What are highest quality settings for the other formats as well.*

    well i personally think you should go with mp3 at 320kbps (max for that file format) main reason for this is that mp3 is compatible with pretty much everything, where as aac isn't although it is getting a bit better. the main difference between aac and mp3 is in the lower bit rates, i.e aac 128kbps sounds equivalent to mp3 192kbps (suppoesdly) but when you go from 192kbps and up both file formats sound basically the same, just a variation in file size. ig you want the highest quality for you ipod i would say 320kbps mp3. anything higher isn't worth it becuase most earphones cant even pick it up, only if you have high quality ones.

  • Import settings for HDV for PAL

    I film on HDV tapes (1440x1080i) and I have asked both Apple store trainers and a Final Cut pro trainer and I am getting told different things for what settings to chose in easy set-up on Final Cut.
    I have chosen what I believed was the right setting to then complete and burn to a Quicktime movie folder to import in DVD Studio Pro, but Studio Pro is telling me it's not compatible as it had been created for NTSC when I want PAL! I can't find where you chose between NTSC and PAL on the HD/HDV settings - can anyone help please as I can only see DV on PAL?

    Hello PadProd,
    If you want to stay in HD you can capture HDV natively or transcode. Since editing HDV natively is very processor intensive, I'd recommend transcoding to an i-frame format. The two options you have are ProRes or Apple Intermediate Codec.
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/capture_hdv_prores_fwbalis.html

    +... but Studio Pro is telling me it's not compatible as it had been created for NTSC when I want PAL! I can't find where you chose between NTSC and PAL on the HD/HDV settings+
    You'll need to change your project settings in DVDSP from NTSC to PAL (in preferences) not change the Easy Setup in FCP. Note that this setting will only affect new projects.

  • UT Video Codec settings for AVCHD .mts transcoding

    Howdy,
    Been trying for a while to track down a jittery playback issue (as if frames are randomly held or skipped) when editing .mts files.
    Jittery in PPcc and also after exporting to whatever... and especially using Youtube and Vimeo export presets.
    VLC media player plays the .mts source files smoothly right off the SD card or HDD/SSD... most of the time, occasionally there is a hiccup but nothing like in PP.
    The clips that do this are pretty much all of the panning clips and shot in either 24fps or 60fps 1080p.
    I have seen this now on 2 different systems with different collections of .mts footage out of 2 different cameras.
    Mine is a PC (running WIN7 i7 3770K 3.5Ghz, 16GB, GTX 660) and the other is a more powerful Mac with 32GB RAM (accustomed to smoothly dealing with RED footage).
    I came across an Adobe suggestion to convert to a UTVideo codec ( http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/audio-video-glitches-avchd.html#id_49687 ) to deal with AVCHD... but it really didn't give much helpful info beyond the link to where it could be downloaded.
    I tried the suggestion, downloaded the codec suite, made a preset in Media Encoder and transcoded, but it plays even worse than the AVCHD does natively (VLC doesn't recognize that codec for testing)
    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best settings for the UT Video transcoding and/or hardware/software settings for the smoothest PP playback of .mts clips? I see in the forums here and elsewhere that lots of folks have various problems working with .mts footage in PP... I am hoping there is a functional solution beyond what I have unsuccessfully tried:
    setting playback to 1/4 or 1/2
    rendering the sequance/timeline
    transcoding to .mp4/DNxHD
    clearing render files
    maximizing ram for PP usage
    closing all other apps
    importing the whole 'private' folder from the SD card (which I can't seem to get PP to recognize anyway, it only will import the individual .mts files as far as I can tell)
    changed power options
    turbo boost for the i7 on or off
    and some other trial-and-errors gleaned from the forums that I can't recall at the moment
    Any suggestions for what to try next or the proper settings for using the UT Video codec would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks/Cheers!

    Thanks Fuzzy!
    Great article and it led to some more testing with a couple different lens, pan speeds, shutter speeds and frame rate combos... but still I am not finding anything definitive, I still get random, choppy/juddery playback (never seems to occur in the same place each time).
    I have the frame drop indicator on and it says all is good (no dropped frames).
    VLC and PotPlayer tend to play the clips off the card just fine, but does once in a while skip... a data transfer problem? I have played off the SD card and SSD main drive and my media HDD.
    Caught a recent thread with others having sudden choppy playback, might be related?  http://forums.adobe.com/message/5938794#5938794
    I have PPro CC 7.2.0 (46) 
    But the suggestion to clear cache and reset preferences didn't seem to make a difference on my machine.
    Still ???
    Going to try playing the same clips on a friends SUPER Mac and see what happens... although he sees the same thing with the .mts footage he already has.
    Onward!

  • Final Cut Pro Settings For AVCHD Canon HFS100

    Hi friends,
    I am new to Final cut pro and digital video. I just purchased a Canon HFS 100 and am shooting in 30p and am going to be editing on FCP 6.0.1. From Easy Setup on FCP I have changed the FORMAT to HD, RATE to 29.97 and USE to DVCPRO HD -1080p30. Will this be the most favorable settings if I want to make high quality HD videos for the web. Or should I leave it on FCP Easy Setup default which is FORMAT: all formats, RATE: all rates and USE: Custom Setup.
    Thanks.

    Hi Khorsani,
    welcome to the arena.
    Your version of FCP was the [first one|http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/FinalCut_Pro_6.0_rn/index.html#appleref%3Adoc%3Auid%3ATempBookID-ReplacedWhenAssociatingWithMessierRevision-CH1-SW59 ] to offer some support for AVCHD.
    You want to use Log&Transfer (FCP main menu>File or ShiftCommand8)to convert your footage to ProRes or AIC, which are editable formats that FCP likes.
    http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/FinalCut_Pro_6.0rn/
    Also [Read this|http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/professionalformatsandworkfl ows/index.html#chapter=6%26section=2%26tasks=true] for more general info.
    Connect your camera to your machine, then try to Log&Transfer.
    Please note that AVCHD support was improved with following FCP 6.0.x versions so you may want to update your current version if something does not work.
    To update just click on the Blue Apple of the OS top menu and look for software updates.

  • Projects settings for AVCHD MTS files in Adobe Premiere Elements 8

    Hello,
    I have read several discussions already, about importing AVCHD MTS file in Adobe Elements (version 8), but I'm also confused a littlebit, so I would like to confirm if I'm correct.
    FYI, I have a Canon Legria HFR26 camera and am using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 (with the latest updates installed).
    According to the specs in the Canon instruction manual:
    Videos are recorded in high definition using AVCHD specifications
    (MPEG-4/H.264 compression).
    Audio compression: Dolby Digital 2ch
    The camera supports making video's in different format, but I have done it in the default SP format, which results in a resolution of 1440x1080 (50 fields per second, interlaced).
    I have copied the video from the camera to my harddisk, and Windows also mentions the video's as AVCHD of 1440x1080 (Bitrate 7672kbps).
    The frame rate is 25 frames/second. I assume this is correct for 50i?
    So, when I import my video's into Adobe Elements 8, I select the following projects settings:
    PAL, AVCHD, HD 1080i 25
    Because the description matches my video files:
    - For editing with 1440x1080i AVCHD camcorders.
    - 16:9 interlaced HD video at 25 frames per second.
    - 48kHz audio.
    The video's are imported correctly and I can play them. However, as soon as I drop a video on the timeline, Adobe immediately starts background rendering the video (a red line appears on the timeline).
    What I understand from some discussions, is that this shouldn't happen, because the video format doesn't match the project settings. On the other hand, I have also read that for Adobe Elements 8 this is normal behaviour and it always start background rendering AVCHD video's.
    Is this expected behaviour or should I chance my projects settings or maybe even convert my video files to a different format?
    Thanks,
    Michiel

    The ability to work natively with AVCHD files was not added until version 10, Michiel. So you'll still have to render while you work in version 8.

  • Easy Setup to Import YouTube files

    Hi--
    I'm new to FCE4, having been studying Weynand's "FCE4: Movie Making for Everyone". In trying to import material to practice on (I'm not capturing from a camera), I'm running into conversion problems making sample subclips and trying to play them in the timeline. Is there a standard setting I should be using in Easy Setup? Or do I have to use the utility MPEG Streamclip that I've heard about? And are there any tips and tricks I should know about that?
    Thanks in advance. I hope, since I'm a newbie, that I'm not bringing up something that's been done to death. I went back several months and didn't find anything super-relevant. Much obliged.
    later,
    John

    Thank you for your response, Ian. I know that you are correct about YouTube downloads not being an ideal way to learn FCE4. But I am trying to create soundtracks (with original music, and perhaps dialogue and sfx) for pre-existing films, many of them silent, or replacing existing soundtracks. That would involve editing YouTube "footage." I don't shoot video myself.
    So I'm assuming that Streamclip can output H.264 directly to the Apple Intermediate Codec? Also, is Streamclip "safe" to use? I am a little jumpy on the subject because my iMac got so completely corrupted last year that I had to start over, at great expense. But I do see that there are tutorials from a couple years ago right on this forum, so I probably don't have to worry, right??
    (I'm such a wuss...)
    Thanks so much, Ian!

  • Project settings for avchd?

    Need to get the highest resolution possible for a feature documentary.
    Source clips are mostly AVCHD (1920x1080, 24 fps) coming off a Panasonic GH3
    1) The correct settings for the sequence? Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080 ?
    2) The optimal settings for exporting the highest quality file?
    3) The camera can capture at higher FPS but I've been advised there's no point to that. Is that correct?
    Many thanks!

  • Settings for AVCHD?

    Hi everyone,
    I recently purchased a Canon Vixia HF100. No problem getting the 1440 x 1080 footage imported into Final Cut Express 4; it plays and edits just fine at that resolution. But I am having trouble figuring out the settings for LiveType 2 that will work correctly. For the project properties in LiveType, what resolution and pixel aspect ratio should I be using? Also, should I use the "square pixels" option from the combo box?
    I'm a little confused about how all of these settings work together.
    Thanks guys

  • What are the best import settings for iTunes - AAC 160 / AAC 192 / MP3??

    Hi I originally imported all my treasured CDs to iTunes several years ago, and they've served me well (AAC 128 - default setting) but in recent times hard-drive sizes have trebled and my much loved iTunes Library has not been updated.
    I am thinking of re-importing all of my original CDs - as I think now that hard-drive space would allow for a higher quality but at the same time I do not want to fill my hard-drive completely with music - hence my question;
    WHAT ARE THE BEST IMPORT SETTINGS CONSIDERING SIZE AND QUALITY?
    (I know this has probably been asked a million times, but I did a search and nothing came up that answered my Q - also all the answers that came up in Google search where dated 2003/ 2004 - a little out-dated me thinks!!)
    Rachael

    Personally I've started ripping everything Apple Lossless. That way I hope I never have to rip again.
    I used to rip 320 mp3. I couldn't tell the difference between 320 mp3 and lossless, but, one day I might be able to - big maybe. But since disk price is not likely to go up, I figured I'd rip lossless from now on "just in case."
    Probably few, if any, people could tell the difference between 256 AAC and lossless (I've done it at 192, but never at 256, and I have not bothered trying again recently - there might be a song out there where I could hear the difference, hence ripping lossless from now on - my time costs more than disk space . . .)
    256 AAC is a pretty safe bet, unless you need mp3 compatibility, then use 256 (or 320) mp3.

  • Cannot Change Custom Import Settings For AAC's

    Last night I changed the custom import settings from 192 kbps to 160 kbps for a particular mp3 album I wanted to convert with that bitrate. I tried to change the custom settings back to 192 kbps (the bitrate most of my mp3's & wma's are in). For some reason, the window that came up many times before refuses to pop up now. I tried the custom settings for mp3's and that window still pops up. Anyway, I tried a repair and nothing happened. I uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, and Apple Software Updates, deleted there corresponding folders in C:/Program Files and then restarted the computer. I downloaded the iTunes 9 installer through the iTunes website and proceeded to reinstall iTunes. Still, the problem exists. I'm not sure what else to do? The only other thing I can think of is to do the same except install iTunes 8 instead and then search for updates and reinstall iTunes 9 that way. Would anyone know of any other method on solving my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
