Exporting HD Cam footage

What is the best way to export HDCam footage from Final Cut? If I export to a QuickTime movie will that QuickTime file still be HD footage? I need to get some footage to someone today so any help would be great! Also if I burn that QuickTime file to DVD will it compress it or how should I transport the footage so she can work with it?

See my response on the Cow.

Can I use Red Cam footage in FCE4

An actor friend of mine has shot a short film with a Red Cam and wants me to edit it. I assume I'll have to convert it, but can I bring that footage into FCE4, and if so what codec should I use? And how do I convert it, what program should be used. When I'm finished editing what codec should I use to export it. He wants to enter this film in some festivals so we want the quality to be as good as possible. How will the finished exported quality compare to the original Red Cam footage? I assume there will be a quality loss, but how much? And are there any other issues I should be aware of? Thanks very much--jqs

I don't know whether it will work with some sort of workflow that substitutes AIC foor Pro Res or not. I referred you to the FCP article so you would see there are a number of moving parts involved. Although I don't know of FCE users editing RED, that's not to say it can't be done. Try some work-arounds and see (and let us know). Alternatively If you know someone with FCP, possibly they would allow you to cut it on their system?
Good luck.

BTW, I don't think it's possible to unmark this question as solved. If you're not getting views because people assume it's closed, you could always post another question.

Camera rotation problem when exporting a camera from After Effects CC to Cinema 4D 15

Looking around, this problem is happening to a few people, with no satisfactory solution.
Basically, when I export an AE camera / project into C4D, everything looks great... till I notice that the camera's horizon will jump a few times.... so that if it were tilted 20 degrees to the left, it will pop to be tilted 20 degrees to the right.
It's definitely not in the footage- it's a simple walk down a hallway. The AE track is fine- it's only in the C4D track that the problem arises.
I've tried creating new AE projects, re-exporting, etc. I'm running AE CC and C4D 15.
Anyone ever figure out how to fix / get around this?
Thanks!

It's 13.2.0.49... I just installed it yesterday.
C4D is R15.008
I'm wondering if I would have the same issue with C4D Lite, but I can't figure out how to open it (I assume it downloaded with AE). Rather than launch Lite, AE seems to automatically find C4D 15 and open that.
I've been using AE and C4D for over 15 years, so I'm quite familiar with both. The bug is odd and quite disappointing, as I bought this version of AE specifically so that I could track footage and export the camera info into C4D.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Why can't I export the timeline footage?

I have bought FCP 10.1.3 and have a trouble with exporting files. I am editing a multi cam project which is shot with Sony PMW F3, Sony A7s, Sony EX1 and Nikon D700.
When I press the master file export option or any other option then it shows those messages.
Some time it crashes down and when I reopen the project then I have to import some of the files again which I have exported several times. I don't know why!
I also trying edit multi cam footage which is not working.
Please help me.

You don't have copies of them on your backup of your downloads/library that you can use to add them back to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library ?
If not then you should be able to copy iTunes purchased music back from a device via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option.
For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

Getting audio only when exporting to camera

Hello. I have exported many times before but when I recently tried to export to camera, I get audio only. I tried deleting the iMovie Preference file (which I had to do at times in the past) and then I got some video with audio at the beginning but then the video stalled while the audio continued.
The iMovie material (which I have already exported to DVD) that I am trying to export to tape is from a DVD which I had converted to DV through Toast and edited in iMovie if that makes any difference.
I'm using iMovie 6.04. Any comments will be appreciated.

Hi, Rich,
I just select QuickTime from the Share option in the menu bar, not Export from the File.
It gives the options of Full Quality, CD-ROM, Web streaming and Email and Expert Settings. I always leave it as Full Quality. I just tried it now and when I select 'Expert Settings,' nothing happens until I click on 'Share,' and then I see the options of how to export and what format to use. Selecting Movie to DV Stream, I then have to change from the 'Most Recent Settings' to get the options of either PAL or NTSC settings for 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz...those are sound settings for audio.
Frankly, I find it much harder to do all these setting changes when Share to QT as Full Quality has always produced a great movie that is equal in quality to the original iMovie.
I have been doing it this way since the first iMove came out. It has always been known as a loss-less method. Frequently, my iMovies are complicated with many video and audio clips. With earlier versions, whenever iMovies became complicated, the playback would skip, stutter or the audio would freeze or become distorted. I learned from experience that the burned disks and disk image files would be fine, but it was hard to finish the edits. I learned to edit the video clips, add the still photos, transitions and titles, add just some audios if I needed a few seconds of sound under the still photos, and then export the movie as the Full quality quick time movie. Then, take that qt movie into a new iMovie and then add the audio. Worked every time. The new qt movie always played fine......unless I got too many more clips, and then I just made a new qt movie at that point. I also always use the qt version for exporting back to miniDV tape because the stuttering version usually would not export, or if it did, the stuttering would persist and ruin it.
Good luck with your projects!

Can't export to camera, yet computer sees camera

On attempting an export to cam, I get a message saying " imovie lost its connection to the video camera. Please check the connections and try again"
Previously I have been able to export my imovie projects to camera no problems.
I am using my old G4 emac 700mhz 640mb ram 6GB of space left on a 40GB HD OS 10.3.9 and imovie 3.0.3
The computer recognises both my panasonic and canon and I can import as well no problems.
I have looked through postings and what I have done so far:
Disonnected and unplugged power, and firewire cables.
Tried Panasonic and Canon cams.
Repaired permissions on HD.
Tried exporting different project.
I can export just fine when I use my new imac with imovie HD.
But I need to get project out of old computer and it doesn't burn DVDs - size of project is around 1.5G
Cheers

Looks like i've found the problem.
Its the firewire cable
Lennart Thelander quoted this on another topic: "they are capable of exchanging a few bytes of information. It doesn't necessarily mean they can sustian 3.5MB/s of data (importing)."
He was refering to firewire cables.
My problem was intermittant and the cable is a few years old now and I remember my 1st one bugging out after only a year or so...
Bought a new cable today and worked 1st go like the old days haha
Thanks guys for your help.

I have been filling up my internal memory on my laptop after years of video editing. I now want to export all this footage to an external hard drive. What is the proper way to do this.

I have been filling up my internal memory on my laptop after years of video editing. I now want to export all this footage to an external hard drive. What is the proper way to do this.

Are the videos being stored in iMovie or another application? Have you exported/shared the video? If the video is in iMovie what version of iMovie are you using? Give as much info as possible, and you may also want to post the question in the iLife section of this forum since more people with video skills will be reading the iLife/iMovie threads.

Photoshop CS6 - How to export form Camera Raw to Jpeg of 300dpi?

What does your package include besides this disc?
If your artistry and production are at a high-level and you are charging tens of thousands of dollars then protecting your reputation and future-sales possibilities by not giving them a disc might be wise, but if you just want to be done with things after you get paid, then a disc or flash-drive of native-resolution (not resized) and uncropped JPGs might give the most freedom for the client, although if I was your client, I’d want the RAWs or at least DNGs with your settings saved to them. If there is enough space on the media then you could put a folder of JPGs and a folder of TIFs, separately. It depends on how many you’re giving them. If you’re high-end you could give them an Wi-Fi iPad with the photos on it, or at least a non-Apple tablet with a removable flash-card for more easy offloading.

Digitizing minidv cam footage in Premiere CS6

Has anyone else had any issues digitizing minidv cam footage in CS6 & if so, how did you trouble shoot the issue?

As long as your (unknown brand/model) camera is not actually analog, the video is already digital, so all you are doing with your Firewire connection is transferring from tape to computer

Exporting to Camera from Canopus ADVC 110

My saga so far: I bought a brand new Canopus ADVC110 Advanced Digital Video Converter for use with iMovie 3.0.3 on my Macintosh G4. I can't understand hardly A WORD of the instruction manual, but with detailed questions and careful coaching from the members of four different Macintosh forums, over several days of intense effort I managed to create titles in iMovie, import audio, add music to the titles, and get it all to play the way I want.
So far so good. NOW, how do I get it back OUT of iMovie, THROUGH the converter, and IN to my Sony video Hi8 camera, which shoots 8mm tape, not digital (which is one reason why I had to buy the converter)? So far, I've managed to connect the yellow video plug to the yellow video jack on the back of the converter, the black audio plug to the white audio jack on the back of the converter, and that's it. If the manual says a word about sending things back OUT of the converter, I can't find it and probably wouldn't understand it if I could. I don't know what mode to be in, how to know when it's gone from the Mac to the converter, or how to get it from the converter to the camera. ANY HELP is appreciated, thanks!

Here's a whole conversation with a guy on Usenet telling me where-all I went wrong (I haven't repeated his every remark, which were extensive) and what I should have done, with my replies on what I've done or am thinking of doing and why:
Third, you have gotten some pretty hard to follow and conflicting advice here.
To say the least! And you seem to be giving conflicting advice, too, saying I should put my entire four-hour project into iMovie using iDVD to save it, then saying iDVD won't burn more than 90 minutes on one disk anyway! (At least, that's what I think you said.) Also, I've been told that iMovie craps out right about 90 minutes anyway and nobody could possibly do a four-hour project on it, at least, as one project. And I'm a bit hazy as to how to split something into three or four parts and then reassemble it as one, if that's even possible. Luckily, I don't even want to "go there."
The point is moot as putting the whole project into iMovie, either as a whole or in pieces, is the LAST thing I want to do anyway. All I want to do is get the titles and edited pieces--perhaps a 15-minute total--out of iMovie and onto my plain old-fashioned VHS tape (a four-hour total including the fancy techy bits) without having to buy (or steal) a new camera (or a new computer) to do it!
For example, there was no real reason for you to get Toast (I don't think...). iMovie + iDVD is generally sufficient. And the whole thread about media was pretty pointless (particularly the "penny wise, pound foolish" concerns about whether the $10 or whatever you spent on some DVD blanks had been wasted...)
Well, I haven't got Toast...yet. It's just people seemed to feel that iDVD (which I admittedly haven't tried) was more prone to screwups and Toast was a better way to set things up and really see what you were getting before accidentally burning a bunch of "coasters" which I wanted to avoid. As for the blanks, I hate to see anything go to waste, either money or products, and since eventually I'd like to transfer a lot of VHS home movies over to DVD using the Canopus, I wanted advice on where best to obtain high-quality blank DVDs at good cost, which advice I got. Sorry to have to expound over every detail of my thinking process but when you start skipping all over the place people tend not to get what you're saying or why.
If one has 1) a recent Mac with a DVD-R drive and sufficient free disk, and 2) iLife (comes bundled with all new Macs)
How recent? Mine is three to four years old, and I can tell you for sure it has only a Combo drive, not a Superdrive--that's why I bought the DVD burner. Are you saying I should have bought a new Mac rather than add all this equipment to my old one?
Toast is useful for burning DVDs when iDVD won't - such as with unsupported DVD burners, or if you want more than 90 minutes on a DVD. For the price of Toast, you could have probably bought an internal DVD-R drive that is supported directly by iDVD.
Okay, you've COMPLETELY got me there. Where can I get some quotes on how much Toast would cost vs. how much it would cost to have my Combo Drive upgraded to a Superdrive? (At least I think that's what you're suggesting.) Once I learn the best source and cost of the equipment to do this, I'll look into where I can have it done (obviously taking the thing apart with a screwdriver and inserting the new drive myself is not an option.)
After that I'll worry what on earth to do with the DVD burner I bought! It was $129.00 and arrived December 13, and return requests are supposed to be made within 15 days! So obviously I can't return it for money back--at least from the place where I bought it--even though it's brand-new, untouched, never been used as I'm nowhere near the point of burning anything yet! Then returning it in favor of just using the Superdrive on the Mac (assuming I can get one for my Mac) may still be a mistake as how do I know the one I already bought won't do a much better and/or more usable job? I just want something that will work! In this case, one that will make DVDs which will play on my player without having to buy another DVD player (also over $100.00, brand new a year ago.)
Consumer DVD recorders are designed to record "live" direct to DVD from a video source.
DVD-R drives, in conjunction with a computer, aren't.
As far as I can tell, you just answered the question I raised, and in my favor. Or is that wishful thinking on my part and we're really talking about two different things here? I do know it's said a lot of DVDs will play on a computer which won't on a DVD player connected to a TV--which, given the nature of the projects I'd like to do, does me no good--that's why I thought the DVD burner a good idea!
You are assuming that your DVD recorder can record a four hour DVD.
My friend hasn't answered, but I'm pretty sure he said his would, and that people who wanted DVDs were giving him only one blank disk, not two. What mine will do, I have no idea as I've barely looked at it yet. For my own part, whether I end up making my DVDs on my own burner or having my friend make them, I think I will use two disks to get higher quality. I was asking for the benefit of the people who gave him only one blank disk and thought they were going to get the whole thing on that. As for number of copies--last he told me he had 40 blanks given to him by people wanting copies--I think most were VHS tapes but some were DVDs.
Based on what I'd read, I'll guess that:
You don't have all the raw video imported
You don't have enough disk space to do so
The DVD burner you have is not directly supported by iDVD
It isn't clear at all whether the DVD burner that you bought is a DVD-R drive (in an external case?) or a consumer DVD recorder.
Well, you certainly got all those guesses right! That's why I'm putting "the lesser, the better" into iMovie--only the complicated stuff which NEEDS to be done there--the rest of it gets done the straightforward way that I understand!
As for the DVD burner I bought, it is a LaCie DVD +/- RW 16x4x16x Double Layer FireWire device.
The ADVC110 most definitely will export to whatever analog video tape you want. Straight from iMovie. "Export to camera..."
That's what the video & audio out ports on that device are for...
There are one-way devices out there, but the ADVC110 is not one of them. I've never used one myself, but was able to determine this from the very first web page I looked at...
You have mistaken advice that you shouldn't export to cruddy VHS for a reproduction master with advice that you can't do so.
No, I didn't really, although people seemed to think that was what I was saying. Below is my response to a question on another forum explaining what I did, what I want to do, and my rationale for doing things the way I have or plan to based on advice I've gotten. If there is a better way (short of buying all-new everything!) I am open to that advice as well.
(Here follows the entire reply I posted above in response to ThomasG.)
Everybody takes on at least one project where they are completely over their head.
Gee, thanks, now I feel in such good company. So...I'm not an idiot? I have got the project PARTWAY done! Anyway, back in the "old days" of special effects, when the first "Star Wars" movies were done, a whole team of people might take five months to do something that would take five minutes onscreen, while the parts requiring only sets and actors, some of which took more screen time, were accomplished much more quickly, so I am not all that far off!
Asking advice on Usenet for such a project can quite easily cause a whole bunch of wasted time and money, following advice from folks who don't really understand exactly what you are trying to do and what constraints you are under. If you don't have a reasonable understanding of the basics, you will have a very hard time sorting the wheat from the chaff.
It certainly was hard knowing what advice to take. I started out just calling a Sales Rep at the same company from which I purchased my computer and monitor, telling him what I wanted to do, then buying what he said to buy, which I needed EXTENSIVE instructions from various online groups to make work. (The manual on the Canopus was, in particular, next to useless. You could read it all in 15 minutes but you still wouldn't know anything. I hope the instructions on the DVD burner are done by people who understand English.)
Thanks for your lengthy consideration of my problems.

Synchronize 2 camera footage -- How to nudge smaller than frame increments

When synchronizing dual camera footage in FCP, my method of lining up audio events, how do I nudge the tracks closer together without snapping to the frame? In Pro Tools, it is called Spot editing. I can't find info about this in FCP Help. Sorry for the newbie question. Thanks for your help.

With video you can only edit down to the frame level. In fact I don't know of any video editors that let you move beyond frames as that's how video operates. You can edit and slip audio on a sub-frame level. Look in the manual under sub-frame audio editing for an explanation on how to do it as it's a tricky (but useful) feature.

Exporting sony ex3 footage to avi file

I am newly to adobe premier cs5. I am working with footage of Sony Ex3 in PR Cs5 and want to export it's footage to DV avi format while doing so picture quality is loss. what to do any suggestion?

I wanted to convert three test files to video for windows but felt the mac conversion programs were too expensive just for client testing. I'm running Parallels and found a great program called OJOsoft Total Video Converter. I output the FCP timeline to the desktop using the H.264 codec. Using parallels the file shows up on the windows desktop. Using that workflow I have been able to convert to avi, video for windows and other windows centric files.
PS It was a Sony EX3 timeline and the results were stellar.

MacPro and Editing Red Camera footage in FCP

Hi, I'm looking to but a Mac Pro, but am not sure the most economical spec required to edit 4K fotage from the Red, Rendering etc. I don't want frustration. I'm looking at 8-Core,4.64GHz, 16G RAM, but would the 1G video card from Apple the work for this or do I need a Ndivia 1G card? I'm told I need to get the 1G Ndivia...is that so?

1 - Will I be able to edit with both the Panasonic and Sony footage in my timeline??
Yes, but what is your intended timeline format? You might want to transcode the XDCAM HD to DCPRO HD and edit in a DVCPRO HD timeline rather than visa versa, or perhaps transcode both the XDCAM HD and DVCPRO HD sources to your intermediate tiemline format just to make your life easier.
2 - Do I need extra software to play the Sony XD Cam footage??
No, assuming you are running FCP 5.1.2 or later, but if you will need to ingest the footage from XDCAM disc yourself then you'll need Sony's free XDCAM Transfer software to bring it in.
3 - is there something else that could cause a problem??
I guess a freak wave could come out of nowhere ...

Importing RED camera footage into CS4

I've downloaded a plug in for CS4 and all the other RED camera footage imported in fine (9 out of 10 files) expect for the last file. Here's a picture of the file names:
When I try to import these files (either through file > import) or Media Browser I get the message that the file format is not supported. Does anybody have any idea of what I could do?
Thanks!

Robodog2,
I finally got back to my office and was able to send JIm a screenshot of the issue as the file was too big to send (1GB).
The file marked A010_C001_10172V_001.R3D is the one that should import into Premiere Cs4 but as you can tell from the screen shot above, it will not.
Any help will be appreciated.
