FCP 10.1 Import Tape based media Issue

When I import tape based media in FCP X 10.1 the 'capture' window weirdly flickers between what appears to be the 1st frame on the tape and the one currently being injested. The media does seem to import correctly, and I'm able to skim the clip once it's finished with import, but I'm nervous to start editing with it in case there is some issue with the way it's being injested.
Thanks for any help.

Hey Steve,
I'm having the exact same problem. For those who can help but need some additional info: I'm capturing from a Sony HVR -M25U HDV deck via Firewire 800 onto a MAC Pro tower running Mavericks.
also
from a DSR-40 DVcam deck via Firewire 800 onto an IMac also running Mavericks
I've been doing this seamlessly for a few years till 10.1
Additionally, now my "j" and "l" keys are not communicating with either deck. Again this is since the upgrade.
Anyone with ideas on how to solve this one?
Sorry I couldn't help you Steve. Maybe this extra detail will get us some help.
Good Luck
Tom

How do I capture tape-based media to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The manual says to import tape footage directly into fcpx, but then I lose my external hard drive. thanks for your help.

In FCP X How do I capture tape-based media (hdv clips)- which I want to import-to my external hard drive? There is only one firewire 800 port on the back of my I mac. The FCPX manual says to import tape footage directly into final cut, which works, but then I lose my external hard drive Do I have to import it into an event, then copy it over to an external hard drive? On Larry Jordan's tutorial, he has 3 external hard drives that show up on his monitor WHILE he imports his tape based media. How is that done? I can only get either the camera to appear OR my external hard drive. thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response, but that doesn't solve the problem. Yes, the LaCie hard drive has 2 firewire ports-
I have always done what you suggest (works fine in FCP7), but in FCPX when I do that the camcorder icon
does not appear. It only shows up when I DIRECTLY import the footage via firewire. ????

Cannot get my tape based media to the timeline in Premiere Pro CC

Cannot get my tape based media to the timeline in Premiere Pro CC, I have eqrlier in my edit, but now I get the hand dragging it with the circle and slash on it . THis will not let the media download to the timeline anymore. What happened.... DId I hit a button and/or cause it to be locked out from loading media intot he timeline. My digital basde media loads fine.

Here is more information: I use Premiere PRo CC 7 and the taped based media in the bins are from a Canon HV30 taped based catured to PP directly in a MPEG format. I have already used some edits from this media as well as my captures from digital, which isnt causing any problems. When I mark the taped based media in the source window and attempt to drag it into the timeline the hand gets a circle and slash line on it and will not let me place it into the timeline. Yet I can still load my digital stuff into the timeline and edit normally. I need some footaghe from the tapes but cannot get it into the timeline from the source monitor even after updating, shutting down and reopening. No avail still when trying to drag the hand with the circle slash still exist not allowing it into the timeline. Previous footage on the timeline works no problem. This started yesterday.

How to import Sony Z1 and A1 tape based files to FCP X?

Apple support have today told me (eventually) that footage from the Sony HVR Z1 and A1 and the GoPro Hero 2 cameras are not suppported by FCP X, they suggest using a 3rd party convertor, this will add considerably to the time bringing data into the package.
How do others get over this issue as I am assuming that others are using Sony HVR & GoPro cameras as they are market leaders.

Who exactly at Apple support told you this? Z1 and A1 are HDV cameras and are covered by this note
Final Cut Pro X is compatible with most MiniDV tape-based camcorders using DV and HDV formats, which use a FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.LINK) cable to transfer video.
The GoPro media can be imported an optimized on import. The audio from the cameras is not suitable for FCP, but most people don't use audio from these cameras. If you need audio and video you can batch convert with Compressor or MPEG Streamclip.

Recovery from imported tape media fails and causes DPM management console to crash with ID: 917

Hi.
I have a newly installed DPM 2012 R2 on a Windows 2012 R2 with a standalone dedicated SQL server which is causing me a bit of a headache right now.
I'm about to restore some files from an imported tape media, the tape is from our previous DPM server (DPM 2010). I have identified the media and cataloged it and i'm able to browse it to choose wich files to restore. But as soon as i try to
finish up a restore job it causes the console to crash.
My server is running just fine with backups and restores from i.e tapes that is backed up by this server - no problem there - but imported is not working.
Below is the message from console when it crashes.
Connection to the DPM service has been lost.
Review the application event log for information about a possible service shutdown. Verify that the following services are not disabled:

Any ideas?

I'm guessing if you checked your event viewer, you would have the same error after the crash. I'm hoping Microsoft has a fix for this besides restoring the database...

Tape based camcorder is giving me an error. Import was aborted due to dropped frames

Importing into imovie. Tape based camcorder is giving me an error. "import was aborted due to dropped frames" There are spots on the tape that have no image. the tape must have been fast forwarded so some soptes are blank. I just want to capture the video and burn to a dvd disc. Importing into iMovie.
I just wast to record into imovie and burn the home movie to dvd disc. i have done this with other tapes. What do i do? Please help.

the built-in webcam doesn't deliver standard video with a 'clocked' time-base, such as 25 or 30fps.
I assume, when the frame-rate starts to flow too much, FCPX interprets this as a drop-out.
I would suggest to use the Quicktime Player X app to record first, and use a converter tool such as Mpeg Streamclip to 'convert' it into a regular, with a fix timecode, stream.
Plan B)
from my box of silly advices:
give this a try: rise the surrounding brightness - lower frame-rates are used by webcams to compensate low-light conditions.
in general: I would never suggest to use FPCX as a 'recording' tool .......

Tape based

This is not necessarily a question but more of a comment. I do use Final Cut Pro 7 but am starting to use Final Cut Pro X and find I really like it. The only thing that is hard is that all my HD and SD cameras are tape based. Importing inFCP7 Is easy but a bit more of a pain in FCP X. I fully understand Apple moving away from tape based systems to file based but there are still a high amour of tape based systems in the field. I just wish they gave us some of the tape based importing like we had with FCP7 - in/out, etc. I do realized I can purchased third party equipment but that does add additional costs which in this market is tough.
Again, I do like the new approach Apple has taken and addressing a larger market of film makers, videographers, etc.

Import - sort by "media type" not working?

When importing media from my iphone I'd like to ONLY import jpgs, not the mov files. In searching, the sort option in the import dialog on "media type" should work so I can easily just select new jpg files, however this does nothing for me. Is this supposed to work? I'm running OSX 10.7.2 and LR 3.6.
Any ideas? Does this sort function work for anyone?
Thanks!

Ok. Never mind what I said about selecting the sort order before selecting the folder.
I just checked again on my computer and (LR3) was able to sort by media type, by date, by name etc. from a folder on my desktop drives.
It even worked when importing from a media card. This is weird.
Although everything seems to work for me now however I do remember having encountered the same issue before.
There might be a bug. It would be nice to have someone from Adobe or LR to explain the limitations if any of this sort function.
Good Luck Marty.

Java-based media players no longer have working buttons.

When I visit a website using java-based media players embedded on the page, autoplay will work just fine, but play/pause, volume control, etc. will not click. I already had Firefox updated to 10.0.2 days before this problem cropped up. With the exact same plugins, the same websites are viewable and buttons are clickable in Chrome and IE.
To resolve the issue, I uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated Firefox, Java, Flash and Shockwave. I tried disabling addons, all with no change. All plugins are up to date, as are all active addons.

Do you really mean Java or do you mean JavaScript?

FCP X not linking to optimized media

For some reason, FCP is not linking to optimized media- none of it, ever. My footage was transcoded on import and an optimized media folder created. I have everything in the Library bundle- both orignal media and optimized media folders are inside. I know FCP is playing the original media because 'reveal to finder' points to original clips. In addition, inspector shows H264 codec. What's the point of optimizing media if FCP doesn't point to it? How can I get FCP to utilize the transcoded clips in the optimized media folder?
FCP 10.1

AVCHD is basically H.264
This is an extract from the AVCHD article in Wikipedia . . . .
For video compression, AVCHD uses the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 standard, supporting a variety of standard, high definition, and stereoscopic (3D) video resolutions. For audio compression, it supports both Dolby AC-3 (Dolby Digital) and uncompressed linear PCMaudio. Stereo and multichannel surround (5.1) are both supported.

DVCProHD Tape-Based Capture / Transfer to Avid - Best Practices?

I may seem to be going a little "old-school" with this question, so please bear with me.
I am fairly adept in tape-less acquisition and on-set media management, however this next project has me working with several Panasonic HDX900's (tape-based).
The production has decided to use Premiere for the initial Transfer and Avid for the editing (facilities decision).
We will be shooting in the DVCProHD codec.
My question is:
When capturing in Premiere 5.5, what is the best quality codec to use which is cross-platform compatible with Avid Media composer.
I was thinking of having the initial tape capture and audio sync in Premiere and exporting an AAF.
Any comments/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you,

The production has decided to use Premiere for the initial Transfer and Avid for the editing (facilities decision).
This seems a needlessly poor decision.
I can't imagine why the facility would make this choice, aside from
possibly avoiding a scheduling conflict by not using the AVID suite for capturing.
When capturing in Premiere 5.5, what is the best quality codec to use which is cross-platform compatible with Avid Media composer.
You have no selectable control over the capture codec in Premiere.
I have not tested it, but AVID will likely have no problem editing media captured in Premiere.
I Would suggest running a test before you commit to that workflow.

HDV Tape Based Camcorders

I'm in the market for a new camcorder and have just purchased a copy of FCE HD3.5, as a first time purchase of any Final Cut product I didn't go for FCE4 first off as I have a miniDV camcorder at present.
In starting to look around the www I was surprised to find that Sony have phased out some (if not all!?) of their tape based HDV cameras; what are people's thoughts on this?
I don't particularly want to go to a memory stick or HDD type camcorder as I don't really think this method of storage has been proved long term (harddrive versus catagorised tape backup) so therefore prefer the idea of tape, but, at the same time this will be a one off purchase for quite some time and I don't want to feel left behind in a few years time.

Hi
I know we have to have Progress. But for me, if I can lose, every so often the details in my address book. I know that at sometime I will lose an important video file.
I have just done a big Wedding video with two HD DV cameras. Edited over nearly two weeks to the satisfaction of the Bride. Burnt the DVD's and have all the original tapes and the edited back to tape. All stored in a sealed plastic container.From experience with tape over many years. I know this will be able to be viewed for many years,
It may be difficult these days to play a wax cylinder.But vinyl can still be played and very well. Cd's might be more convenient, but there is still a better fuller sound on the vinyl
So to progress to storing on a hard drive, will not be a reliable storage over a long time. Nor is the storing onto normal dvd's the answer as many that I have done over the years, have been reported back to me that they shudder, usually near the end of the video
Still I did not think that it would be possible to make a digital camera. be so reliable and generally do a better job than I used to do with film. So perhaps and I hope I will be proved wrong, but for now I'll stick with tape. Thanks. Dave

When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.' The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.' The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

What version of iPhoto?
What colour profile is the shot?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

HT201180 What type of Fire Wire cable to use to connect MacBook Pro 2009 to tape-based Sony TRV720 camcorder

What type of Fire Wire cable to use to connect MacBook Pro 2009 to tape-based Sony TRV720 camcorder

USB is the slowest. Firewire is faster. eSata is the fastest (and will be superceded by Thunderbolt). The old Fire was 4 pin (Firewire 400 and is essentially obsolete), new is 9 pin, Firewire 800. All of the will transmit data, simply a different speeds.
For eSata connectivity, you MBP must have an express card slot (and the appropriate eSata connection card) and you external enclosure must have an eSata input. eSata cables will only transmit data, therefor it will require power by Firewire or USB cables.
Ciao.
