FCE4 settings for Canon HV30 project

Hi! I have recorded two DV tapes on my Canon HV30 using the "cine" setting recommendation, all HD and exporting HD/DV via firewire to my Mac. I am now testing the capture of the footage using the HDV – Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 but changed the frame rate to 25 in the window which altered the setting to 1080i50.
Is this accurate? I want to export this project to iDVD when completed.

From page 38 of the manual:
From page 102 of the manual:
It records at 1080i60. That is what you should be using.
The 24 progressive "look" is recorded on tape at 1080i60, it is not the actual frame rate of the tape.

  • CS6 Premiere Pro - settings for Canon HV30 ?

    I had used that camera under Windows on CS3, then CS4. 
    I unfortunately purchased CS6 for Mac and got the same issue over and over again - wasting hours trying to capture. Tried it on two Macs (one using OS X Lion 10.7.4, the other Mountain Lion 10.8.4). 
    On the Lion machine, no matter which capture setting I chose, I get a crash of Premiere Pro as soon as I just even try to playback the tape (controlled through PPro).   
    On ML machine, I get the message : '' Adobe encxountered a serious error and need to close(......)''
    The camera shows ''HDV'' on top of the screen, then on left of screen ''HDB/DV''. 
    I tried many of the possible options. I tried chosing DV, then HDV - then when the capture setting page opens, I tried most (what appear logical) settings. Even the Canon XF settings. Tried 720p, 1080i30, 1080p30, name it... Still getting the same damn result (no-result) all the times.
    My only solution is to use a Windows 8 machine and capture under PPro CS4... then transfer to a Mac to edit the work.  Not a very good use of time... nor of an investment in CS6. 
    I am going through Firewire 400 in both cases.  And yep, the FW interfaces have been used with other devices - proving the interface is not at cause here. 
    From what I read in these forums, Canon (but also other cams) are causing such headaches. I'm out of ideas here.  I also read about others that seem to have had success with this same cam. Wonder how you did it (if any of you reads this). 
    Thanks for any hint or help.
    Rob

    Ann,
    thank you for this: i already tried most of this shopping list
    As for the setting change: I always turn the cam off before changing setting in Adobe. Changes nothing on the cam directly.
    By the way (and so to cut it short on the FW connector, cable and so on on the physical side): i can capture freely and eithout a glitch with iMovie, a $19 application...   Something to get me even happier to have paid the big price for the Adobe full fledge rig....

  • Best export settings for Canon cameras: Key Frame Distance confusion

    Good evening! I have the Canon SX230 camera (for easy understanding, you could consider it as 5D Mark) and Premiere Pro CS5.5, and what I need is to export my project with the best similar to the source quality, as lossless as it possible (but not like absolute lossless oversized AVI's...) To my happiness, there are not so many export settings, but I am very puzzled with "Set Key Frame Distance" point. Okay, basically I understand what GOP is, what I don't understand is what value I should choose for the best result, if my сamera does videos with M=1/N=12? I'm choosing "1" Key Frame Distance, like all frames are I-frames, saving the original sequence, because you don't want to convert original I-frames to P-frames, so it's better to make them I-/P-/B-frames all like I-frames? Am I right at this point, is that wise, and will it be the best reasonable option, matching original M=1/N=12? Or is it not worth it? And will it fundamentally affect the file size? I really need your help on this, worked on this project for three months and really don't want to screw up all:) Thank you very much!
    sample of my sourse files:
    and this is my export settings, which I think is the best of the best, but please correct me if I'm wrong:

    Oh dear Ann, unfortunately it is not possible.
    For some unbelievable reason it is okay to mux H.264 with Dolby, but forbidden to mux H.264 with PCM. That has absolutley no sense. Anyway, that's not a problem, mkvtoolnix does a perfect job. Really need PCM stereo audio for that project. And H.264 is the best codec for Full HD project out there, MPEG is too old...

  • Interlaced frames after using Apple directions for Canon HV30 24p

    I have an Canon HV30 HDV video camera and clips that have been recorded using its 24p mode. I'm using the instruction Apple has given to remedy this type of footage in Compressor and output to Pro Res:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2410?viewlocale=en_US
    I've tried this method a couple of times and carefully also. Everything seems to work well other than the fact that I am getting interlaced frames on the last one or two frames of each clip. Sometimes it's the beginning of the clips. As they are supposed to, clips are changing to 24p and when I step through a clip frame by frame everything looks fine, except for those last couple frames. Other methods, like using JES Deinterlacer, do not produce these distorted interlaced frames. However I would prefer to use Compressor. Could it be that I changed some setting or preference in Compressor a while back that is affecting these clips right now?
    Please help!
    Once again, using Final Cut Studio 2 and a Canon HV30 with 24p clips.

    Hello,
    I experienced the same thing. But I feel that the first second or two of any clip is not useable, when
    editing I have never needed every last frame.
    This is not much of a help to you. I think it has to do with the mysteries of HDV, Long GOP, and 2 t0 3 pulldown and the complex post processing that must happen to yield 24 full frames.
    Good luck, Tom

  • Universal publish settings for a particular project?

    i was wondering if it was possible to set up a universal publishing directory for a given project so that i do not have to go and manually change the publish settings for each individual .fla.
    any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks
    angus

    Gustavo,
    Your end result should be DVD, which is 720 x 480 NTSC or 720 x 576 PAL.
    Use a SD widescreen sequence setting and downrez your HDV or let the camera do that for you by capturing SD format. If you have captured HDV, you can either downrez by using Motion/Scale to fit your SD resolution or use Scale to frame. The latter has a small drawback in that it will result in small black bars left and right, that will normally not show up when played on a TV.

  • Best color matching settings for canon pro9500

    I tried different settings for printing 13x19 photos. Printer color management, photoshop color management with different color options. Always a difference with preview... Help please. I have no problem when printing with my old ip6700d!

    1. Calibrate (I use ColorVision's Spyder http://aps8.com/spyder.html , but any hardware calibration device will be better than calibration by eye).
    2. Set the Working Space to sRGB.
    3. Set the Color Management Policy for RGB to Convert to Working to be sure you are converting content to sRGB. (2 & 3 addressses pfigen's concern about making sure all images are sRGB.)
    4. Make sure your monitor is set to use the ICC profile generated by the calibration device.
    5. Turn off Proof Colors.
    6. Embed profiles or not, but if you do use the sRGB profile. Whether it gets used or not is another story.
    As far as B&W, pfigen suggests Gamma 2.2, which would seem to be right for PC. Mac users might consider Gamma 1.8.
    This should work well for most situations, but guaranteed consistency is an impossible task at this point.

  • Correct Export Settings for an HD project originating in Canon xh-a1

    I have come to Premiere Pro from using Final Cut Express. I captured footage from my Canon XH-A1, edited it, added music and am now ready to export the file for both dvd and youtube.
    Here is where my problems begin. I thought the Quicktime format would give me a preset for HD video. It does not. I looked at several alternatives and only succeeded in confusing myself.
    1) What would be the best setting to render a file to use for dvd creation?
    2) What would be the best setting for rendering a file to use for youtube video creation? The "B" section to that question would be " Is H264 where I should start when creating for youtube?
    All help will be greatly appreciated. I tried using Lynda.com for this and not sure my answers work for this.

  • Which sequence settings for Canon Rebel T2i ?

    Hi everyone!
    I need immediate help. A friend of mine did a rough cut of a project (in Windows Movie Maker) shot with a Canon Rebel T2i.
    He gave me the file (in .wmv), so that I could do a little color correction and sound editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS 4.
    I am not sure which settings I have to choose when creating a new project.
    I guess the settings that I chose were wrong, because when I played the video, there was something like a blue flash covering half of the frame every second.
    What should I do?
    Here is a picture:

    Hi there
    You should re-post this in the Premiere Pro forum. This forum is for Adobe Captivate discussion.

  • Import/Export Settings for Canon T4i Video

    Hey folks,
    I'm new to Premiere and loving it, but I'm wondering what the best sequence settings, as well as export settings, will be for video captured from my Canon Rebel T4i camera.
    I prefer to shoot either in 1080p with 24 fps, or 720p at 60 fps––what settings within premiere should I use when setting up my project, and what are some good export options for Youtube/Vimeo?
    thanks!

  • Premiere Pro CS5 -capture settings for canon 30f/24f?

    Latley I have been using a canon xha1 for some simple work projects. I am new to the HDV workflow, and I am very thrown off by the XHA1 formats and how to properly capture them.
    I have not been able to find the proper way to set up a sequence for 30f settings. Knowing that the 30f is not really progressive which settings should I use. (also what would the proper settings be for 24f?)
    PP CS5 seems to have the Canon XF MPEG2 presets. as well as the standard HDV settings. Below is a screen shot of what I assume I should be capturing with.
    Lets say the footage is 30f. Which of the following should I use. Or is it netiher due to the 30f being interlaced. Any help would be grealty appreciated.
    (Premiere Pro CS5 on windows 7)

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Colin Brougham wrote:
    You'd use the HDV 1080i30 preset for both; they're both interlaced.
    That's not really true.  These formats carry the flags to tell the NLE which frames to drop.  It is progressive.
    I use an HV40 with "f" mode all the time and Premiere reads it correctly as progressive.  Even after dropping a clip on the make a new item icon.

  • Selecting correct settings for a new project

    I'm about to start my first project using Elements and the final output for the project will be need to be a H264 or a “WMV” file which which can be uploaded to an FTP site.  It will also be displayed in front of a group on a screen (size is 7.5’x10’.)
    What is the most optimal project settings I should use when I start the new project?  Something in the AVCHD catagory?  (Using NTSC).
    Thanks!

    Yes Premiere Elements has several H.264 options under the AVCHD tab including output at 1080p and 720p with various frame rates. If you only have Photoshop Elements you will be limited to making a wmv file. If you do have Premiere Elements you will get best advice at it’s own forum.

  • Settings for  Canon EOS 450, Adobe Camera RAW, PS CS 5 and printing photos

    I have a Canon CS EOS  450, have used PS CS5 in the past. I have now been made aware of Camera RAW and have started using it. My problem is that the images varies when I open the photos in different programs. My laptop is a HP Probook, 64 bit, Windows 7, etc.
    So, my question is about settings on the different devices; Camera and programs:
    1. I shoot in RAW, so I believe no change in camera settings.
    2. Adobe CR- I use white balance, contrast,  clarity, and vibrance. Any programme changes on ACR programme necessary (ie colour, etc in the programme  to match with my screen?))
    3. Biggest difference between moving from ACR to PS CS5- usually a big difference between these two (colour; sharpness)
    4. And what would be the best proramme to watch the photos that will look as close to what I will get if I print these in photos?

    You should read up on color management.  It's relatively complex, and is difficult to teach in a forum thread.
    Your raw conversions are (if you haven't changed the defaults) being converted to the Adobe RGB 1998 color space.
    I suspect you'll see some initial improvement in consistency by doing the following:
    Open a raw image to get the Camera Raw dialog.
    Click the little link at the bottom center.
    Change the Adobe RGB default color space to sRGB.
    Complete the opening of the file.
    This will set the color space for further conversions to sRGB, which is likely going to seem more consistent when you open the images in your other apps.
    After you learn more about color management, and you understand how the parts interact and what additional steps you'll need to consider, you may well want to change this setting back, or even go so far as to change it to ProPhoto RGB, which has the largest gamut.

  • Sequence Settings for Computer-targeted Projects

    Hello,
    It seems to me -based on a scan of the forum's topics- that there are many people who would like to use FCP for creating computer-targeted output, that use still images as the source material. That is, projects not destined for tape or broadcast, that were not shot on video. I realize there are 3rd party apps that do this sort of thing, but the reality is there's no need to spend more money. Creating Ken Burns type effects for example, is very easy to do in the Motion Tab. It's the related sequence settings and render settings that cause the real problems IMO.
    For those who do this kind of work successfully on a regular basis, it would be good to create a list of settings that work well, so others can avoid the painful process of trial and error. Sadly the manual (great as it is) isn't much help on topics relating to still image projects. They mention things like square pixels or image size in passing, but they do not give examples of how to start this type of project from scratch.
    So post away; let others know what settings work for you. If you can post the project type, source type, and then the settings, so much the better. Something like:
    Type: Web Slideshow
    Source: TIF, PSD
    Frame Size:
    Field Dominance:
    Timebase:
    Video settings:
    etc

    Bogie: if some of the sequence settings listed are dependant on the imported material (think that's what you're saying), why are we even able to change them? I guess this is an Apple design issue but seems strange if they "are not part of the creation process", that they should be in the same panel as the other items that are, etc.< </div>
    Umm, no.
    The question here asked about export settings, they did not ask about project or sequence settings. If you meant to ask about sequence settings, that's an entirely different thread and, frankly, it's all covered in the manuals.
    To repeat what Zeb has said, because we can't quite seem to get us all speaking the same language here, use conventional, known formats for your production and creation of effects; DV is a great place to star because it's flexible and it's built into FCP (h264 is not a production format, Animation isn't either, nor is MPEG2).
    Render your sequences and export them as self-contained movies. Bring them into Compressor and (doh!) open that manual for a few hours of casual and frustrating reading. Compressor is where you will create your transcoded, encoded and compressed movie for delivery to the Web.
    What settings will you use in Compressor? Those are determined by your Web host's demands. The smoothest path to Web delivery is to give your Webhead a DV file and tell them to use their favorite compression and encoding tools to create their own favorite formats and bitrate settings.

  • *** Sequence settings for Canon 5DmkII video

    I'm trying to edit video footage from the new Canon 5D mkII and I don't know the sequence settings. The playback is really stuttery and jittery so I'm wondering if there's a plug-in or something that I need. Does anyone know?
    Thanks in advance!

    That shoots h.264 I believe, which is a delivery codec, not an editing codec.
    Convert it to an easy set up for FCP, ie pro res, DVCProHD or something in the easy set ups using QT Pro
