Edit material in DV re-capture timeline to HDV

(FCE HD)
Let say I have recorded material in HDV. I'll capture all tapes by using DV-codec (in camera Sony downconversion HDV>DV via firewire). All editing is done in DV.
When DV-editing is done, is there any way to re-capture timeline material to HDV? This way I could edit in DV mode, but make the final version to HDV (offline > online).
G5 dp2.5/2.5GB   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Thanks again. I'm still using FCE2.03, but I'll upgrade soon when I get my HDV-camcorder.
So because FCE HD can't do native, does it use Apple Intermediate Codec? And how much AIC takes disk space (e.g. one hour)?

  • How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

    How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

    You need to 'reverse engineer' them :
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

    The edit multiple frames options comes handy in such case...

  • Material Documents did not capture cost centre

    Hi,
    There are some PGI / Material documents did not capture cost center.These vehicles are missing cost center in the PGI/Material  document and i am unable to figure out why is it happening.
    Can u please help me understand why the cost centre is missing ?
    Would you clarify that issue.
    Thanks and best regards,
    pragya

    if your material GL account (P&L) account are created as cost elements, you cannot post any document with out cost object. If you GR is through production order, need not assign any cost center, as production order itself is cost object. For other cost elements you can assign cost center in OKB9.

  • Film appearence - edited material

    a newbie's question: is it possible for me to convert edited material (edited in fcp 5 @ 25 fps, shot on a couple of DV cam's) to a more "24fps film-like" appearence using cinema tools or maybe sony vegas?

    Cinema Tools won't make you video look like film. It is a database program from tracking the relationship of a video to film project. If you want a "filmlook" look to plugins in Final Cut, like Magic Bullet or Nattress. Google Final Cut Pro plugins and you will find many.

  • CS5: Export HDV 720p30 Timeline to HDV MPG File

    Hi-
    Hopefully a simple question. I want to export my HDV 720p30 timeline to a file without introducing any additional compression (or very minimal). In searching for a solution, I read that you can connect an HDV deck, select output to tape, let the sequence render, and then search for a MPG file in the cache that's essentially the rendered sequence's HDV MPG file. Since I don't have an HDV deck anymore, is there an easier way? Should I just export MPG with the highest quality settings? What specifically should I choose? Ideally, I'd like to be able to just drag this 'edited master sequence'' back into the timeline as a 'raw' HDV 720p30 source file down the road. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Colin-
    Thanks. I do understand the additional level of compression. Even though the sequences are only a few minutes each, I don't think it's worth dealing with the huge file sizes, etc. I was just looking for the 'ideal' way to backup the master sequence - something the most equivalent to providing 'an edited master' via HDV tape.
    I suppose I could have used an intermediary codec like Cineform, but it's really not worth it. What would be a good alternate (or less compressed) alternative?

  • AVCHD editing in Final Cut Studio 2 vs. HDV?  Which workflow is smoother?

    How is AVCHD editing in Final Cut Studio 2 compared to HDV?
    I am in the process of buying a new camcorder.
    Thinking about the Canon HV30, but I am considering AVCHD and the HG 10 or HF 10.
    I just heard that AVCHD is tough to edit... Is this true?
    I have a 24" iMac 2.8GHz Extreme Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb RAM, and I wonder if that would be enough horsepower to edit AVCHD. I also have a 1 terabyte Raid for storage.
    I love the idea of being able to just transfer over clips rather than Log and Capturing through an entire dv tape, but is the workflow of AVCHD more work in the long run.
    I am more concerned with workflow than even picture quality.
    I have so far only worked in SD... so any thoughts from people with hands on experience and can give a good comparison of the two workflows would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    AVCHD isnt any harder to edit then HDV. We are running the SONY EX1 which is Sold State Camera. You have to use Sony XDCam Transfer software to get it into FCP.
    Here is what we found.
    AVCHD is a lot faster to ingest (ive found 4x realtime) and because you have to use the Sony XDcam Software for transfers you end up with better Loggin metadata (mostly because its easier at the time of transfer)
    AVCHD is more expensive to run currently. With 16GB cards giving you 57 minutes of video they cost about 400 Pounds a card (im in the UK). On the plus side is you can view your footage instantly with a MacBooK Pro using the ExpressCard slot to plugin your solid state card and XDcam Viewer software.
    Backup can be done in one of to ways. Use a SONY XDCam deck and store the footage on their XDCam Cartridges (way too expensive option). or use external Hardisk (we use 2 one for storage on location and second for Backup and later on for long term Storage in our Library).
    When it comes to HDV we use the HDV-Z1 cameras and the process with the Z1 is just the same as with a consumer Level DV camera. It takes longer to ingest video because its realtime. But once in it runs fine. For backup its already done by the tape and again we store all Footage on Harddisk for long term storage once the project is done with the Tapes as backups. Oh.. and also the tapes are really cheap compared to the Solid state cards.
    I have to say i was happy with AVCHD at first because the initial setup was very expensive. BUt once setup the workflow is smoother and faster the HDV tape based system. I do find the quality to be better as well on AVCHD.
    I hope that helps

  • I am trying to capture from Sony HDV 1080i VTR FCP giving an error of not able to initialize

    i am trying to capture from Sony HDV 1080i VTR FCP giving an error of not able to initialize. I am not able to capture the content in DV mode. i am using a Firewire 800 to 400 converter and a 6 pin firewire cable to connect to the SonyHDV VTR. Please suggest me how do i do this.

    The 800-400 converter plugs have proved a problem for this. What version of the software are you using. It sounds like an older version of FCP, if so you should ask your question on the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • I Need Suggestions On Capturing, Timeline Settings and Final Rendering

    Okay folks, this is me confused!  I've been editing videos for the past two years and that isn't saying much as I've only trained myself through trial and error and reading manuals.  I simply pretend that I know what I am talking about:)  I have purchased the 5D Mark II and have FCP7.  I think I'm doing okay, but I know there must be a better way of doing things and need help in doing so. 
    I film 1920x1080 30fps.  I capture my footage with the default settings on the EOS disc that comes with the camera (works great), then I run my footage through MPEG Streamclip and convert them to XDCAM HD 30.  From there I allow FCP to auto set the timeline to match the footage and then I edit away.  So far so good and I'm really not complaining.  However, since I have been making things up as I go along for so long, I have several missing pieces to my understanding of best quality film.  I've been trying to figure out the use of ProRes codecs.  My limited understanding (what I've heard and read) is that ProRes provides some of the highest quality.  So my question is, should I then scratch the XDCAM codec conversion and go straight to ProRes, then edit ProRes and then final render as such?  I'm confused because there are people that have said that you should edit in a lesser format and then render in the higher quality of ProRes since ProRes takes up more space on the hard drive (bigger files), yet, when I read official info on ProRes, the claim is that the files are small.  So there is confusion number one.  Then, confusion two, is if I edit in XDCAM or ProRes, what then?  Meaning, is it best to send to compressor upon rendering or do I send it to QT or QT Conversion and then send that file to Compressor, or do I leave it at that and send to DVDSP?  I know this is elementary, but all the conversations that I have found seem to be based on the understanding that I should already know this.  So, I'm embarrased to say, I don't know, "this". 
    I have however, taken an edited a XDCAM timeline and then changed the Render Setting to ProRes and sent it to QT or QT Conversion (I can't remember which one sorry).  The video had some text at the very end, and it looked incredibly jagged (no bueno).  So I know that I was assuming or doing something wrong, and my "trial and error" has run its course as I have nearly run out of time.  Therefore, I call upon the Discussion Board for help. 
    To sum up my questions:
    1.  Should I convert to ProRes to begin with instead of XDCAM?
    2.  Do I edit in ProRes and what should I make the settings for the Sequence (or should I allow FCP to auto select based on video files settings)?
    3.  What next?  Do I send that sequence to QT, QT Conversion or to Compressor?  If QT or QT Conversion, should I send it to Compressor after that?
    4.  What should I have my settings be over all on my Sequence?
    I hope I'm not too annoying with my questions, and any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Crayton

    1. Yes, absolutely.  By immediately converting to a long gop format you are throwing away TONS of information.
    2. Auto-select.  By all means match clip and sequence settings
    3. You haven't said what your deliverable is, so can't advise you how to export.
    4. See #2.
    Pro-rez will be larger files than what you are getting from the camera.   Get used to it, drives are cheap.

  • Log & Capture/Timeline

    Have been trying to edit the same movie for 3 days now. I log and capture 2.5 hrs. worth of video, save it, then put the tracks on the timeline accordingly. Everything's good until either 1) I turn off the computer or 2) The computer freezes up as I'm trying to burn a DVD with IDVD. I go back into FCP only to find that the tracks are now offline and nothing is in capture scratch.
    Have FCP 3, using a G4 with Mac OS X 10.5, just added a wiebetech external hard drive. Any help would be great!!

    Have 2 internal hard drives and one external that's connected via fire wire. Have tried storing on all 3 but am getting the same result. As we speak I'm capturing the footage again to see if it will stick, then plan on editing and exporting over the next 5-6 hrs. As far as formatting goes, I'm not the most tech savvy guy so didn't know they needed to be formatted. I've taken the machine into a mac service person for my upgrades so thought he checked those out. Thanks again.

  • 24P Advanced capture, timeline problem

    My original footage is is shot 24PA DV CAM. I am using a sony DV CAM deck to capture. I am capturing using the easy setup setting DV NTSC 48kHz Adavanced (2:3:3:2) Pulldown removal. My sequence settings are 720x480 NTSC DV (3:2); NTSC-CCIR 601 DV; Editing Timebase 23.98; Copressor is DV/DVCPRO-NTSC at 100% quality; Audio is 48kHz-16-bit-Config: default. Field Dominance is grayed out.
    I ran a series of 16 second test captures which when loaded into my timeline came up with the olive green stripe in the video portion of the render status line. I know that I can edit with that as that is just a reduced resolution, but when I capture longer clips (minutes in duration) those clips show orange in the render status bar of the same timeline. I also notice that the short clips come into the machine with a field dominance of none, but the long clips have a field dominance of even.
    I must make sure that my final edit can go to film.
    How can I get the clips to go into the timeline with a gray or olive green render status?
    Steven Kemper

    Thanks for the welcome, Shane. It's great to be here. To answer your question. Yes, I did use easy setup (I needed to check the show all box to get to the 2:3:3:2 advanced pulldown removal option. I even went back into all the settings windows to quadruple check that everything "took" correctly. I am completely baffled as to why a 16 second clip captured under the exact same settings and via the exact same method (capture now) as a 9 minute clip would come into FCP with different properties. The short clip loads into the time line with the olive green in the video portion of the render bar and with a field dominance of NONE in the properties data. The long clip loads into the timeline with an orange render bar and a field dominance of EVEN. This all with me having done the captures back-to-back without touching any settings. All I did was rewind the tape to roughly the same start point, hit the play button and re-engaged the capture now system. What could I be missing or inadvertantly doing wrong?

  • Editing: When I pause playhead on timeline, picture goes slightly darker!

    need some advice on this. I have an edit I'm working on, imported as ProRes and have noticed this issue quite a few times before, but not sure if it's just a unique problem. When I play the clip on the timeline, the canvas picture looks normal, and then when I stop the picture goes noticeably darker. It's difficult to work out which is the colour correct clip - the one where the playhead hasd stopped on, or the one which plays?!!! I hope I'm making sense on this?! As I said have noticed it before, but I'm working on something which is colour critical so need the advice.
    Thanks

    If you are working on something that is color critical, then you should be monitoring properly, with a capture card and broadcast monitor (or darn good HDTV). The Canvas is the LAST place you should be judging the quality of the footage.
    Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the video data is used in displaying the movie in the Canvas. When you pause, it snaps to full quality...as much quality as you can get in that small screen. But a computer monitor is not the place to judge color...

  • Problem editing material in .wmv and saving

    in QT pro,
    if i'm editing out (deleting) material from a .wmv or .avi and then go to save,
    it always saves to a .mov for some reason.
    funny thing is that the new saved .mov is often larger in Mbs than the original .wmv or .avi.
    i need the edited one smaller, and don't actually want it in a .mov either.
    .avi or .wmv would be best...
    any help here?
    much appreciated!!!
