FCP 5 and 24p camera

I use final cut pro 5.04 and a panasonic DVX-100a and im lookin for ways to optimize the 24p experience in final cut. Can I get information on using 24p cameras with final cut.

  • Unable to capture in FCP, Quicktime and iMovie, camera not recognized.

    I am unable to capture in FCP, Quicktime and iMovie.
    I have been dealing with this problem for quite a while now, and I think I have tried everything posted on these forums regarding this issue. I have been to the Quicktime, iMovie, and this FCP forum looking for the solution. Hopefully someone has a suggestion that I have missed or have not tried yet. I have a Powerbook G4 running OSX Tiger 10.4. I am running Quicktime 7.04, and FCP 4.5.
    My problem is this… I am unable to capture from my Canon ZR-200 Mini DV camera, using Final Cut Pro, iMovie and also Quicktime. FCP says no camera recognized. iMovie says no camera attached, and Quicktime says no recording device found. In FCP, I am using the Firewire Basic setting, and NTSC DV settings. I have captured in FCP with the same camera several times in the past. I think the problem started when I upgraded to OSX 10.4, or one of the Quicktime upgrades.
    Here are the details…
    - Camera is connect via Firewire. I have tried the built in ports, as well as a Firewire Carbus card.
    - OSX recognizes the Canon ZR-200 in the System Profiler, so I know the computer sees the camera.
    - I have tried the camera on a Windows XP machine, and capture works perfectly, so I know the camera is functioning properly in VTR mode.
    - Deleted my FCP pref’s using FCP Rescue.
    - Deleted the Quicktime receipts, and re-installed Quicktime 7.04
    - Reverted back to Quicktime 7.01
    - Set the audio to 44.1 in the the Audio MIDI setup in the Utilities folder
    - Tried the “GarageBand” fix, opening the programing, playing a few notes and closing.
    - I have installed Quicktime using the program “Yank” to completely delete Quicktime and re-install.
    I may have tried more solutions, but these are the fixes that I can recall.
    If anyone has any others suggestions, it would be much appreciated.
    Brent

    Hi Brent:
    Although it looks as if you have tried all of the 'fixes' that are normally suggested here, please read through this Apple Article to see if some obscure thing applies to you.

  • What Compressor codec should I use for footage recorded on a Canon T3i, edited on FCP 6, and intended for Vimeo?

    I am looking for help!
    My planned workflow is as follows:
    Footage recorded on Canon Rebel T3i  --->  Edited on Final Cut Pro 6 (sequence compression is apparently H.264 according to the browser)  --->  Compressed with Compressor (ver 3.0.5) in original 1920 x 1080, 24p format  --->  Uploaded to Vimeo
    I am now at the point where I am trying to find a Compressor setting that will create a compressed movie that looks somewhat similar to what I see in the canvas in Final Cut Pro 6.  I have tried using the H.264, Apple ProRes 422(HQ), HD Uncompressed 8-bit, and XDCAM HD 1080p24 settings and in all cases, my movie plays back fine, however, the brightness/exposure seems to be hiked up a few stops and there is a substantial amount of noise in both the blacks and midtones that doesn't appear in FCP's canvas.
    My compressed movie I wish to export is only intended for Vimeo (similar to Youtube).  Is there a different setting I should be trying, or perhaps a way of downloading a more effective or current codec??  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as it is very disappointing to see my movie degraded so much from its orginal quality.

    H.264.  But the FCP Legacy (FCP 7 and earlier) Canvas and Viewer aren't color accurate.  Not designed to be. Their purpose is to show you what you are doing, show you the footage so you can make editing decisions. For color accuracy, the ideal way, since this was designed with television and feature editing in mind, is to have an IO device like those AJA.com and DECKLINK.com make, and send the signal to an HDTV or broadcast monitor. 
    Apple has realized that more and more people are editing for the web and computers only, so they made it so that FCX's viewer IS color accurate.  So...what that means is that currently, using what you have, you won't get things to match....they aren't designed to. So you can adjust for what happens when you export.
    But a big issue is that you are editing H.264 in FCP native. FCP doesn't work with H.264 native well, all sorts of potential issues can arise.  Sync issues, quality issues, the correct shot be exported, all sorts of things.  FCP works best with the FCP editing codecs. What are they? They are found in the EASY SETUP list.  But for HD, the most commonly used option is ProRes 422.  There is a BIG problem that FCP Legacy will SEEM like it'll work with H.264 natively just fine...it doens't throw up any warnings. That is bad. Also something Apple fixed with FCX. 
    The fact that you are editing H.264, and trying to export H.264, might also lead to the footage being more off that it would if you edited ProREs 422, and exported H.264.  Note...H.264 is a higher data rate codec, and easier for FCP to work with...but because it has a higher data rate, the file sizes are much higher than the original H.264.  5-6x larger.  FCP 7 did have a way to import Canon 5D, 7D and T2i (needed a hack with the T2i) via Log and Transfer.  But it doesn't work with the T3i...not even with that hack. Because FCP 7 was no longer updated after the T3i came out. It's 4 year old software, discontinued 2 years ago.
    If you want to edit native, you need to look at Adobe Premiere Pro CC. It's interface is more accurate too.

  • Final Cut Pro, HF S100 and 24p

    I recorded movies in 60i, 30p and 24p (by the setting on the camera). I then do a LOG AND TRANSFER and movies are brought in. When i look at the settings (in FCP) they are all 29.97 framerate. Why is this? How do i get the 24p footage in, and have FCP and all other programs recognize it as true 24p?

    Going to DVD? Then you are fine. 29.97 is perfectly acceptable for DVD.
    So the 27.97p is really 60i, and FCP does not care what it was shot in?
    It does. It was shot 1080i60, with a film-like cadence. It wasn't shot 23.98. FCP imported it exactly how it was shot. Read that snippet I posted again...it says this plain as day.
    I created a 1920x1080 24p Apple Pro, dropped the footage and said NO to settings change.
    Really? Well, do you see a render bar above the footage in the timeline? If so...then the clip settings and sequence settings don't match.
    Im assuming that a reverse-telecine took place?
    Wrong assumption. It didn't unless you told it to. HDV and other GOP formats cannot have telecine removed. You need to convert to ProRes before you can remove telecine.
    Is this the proper way to do it, or do I need to use Cinema Tools?
    FCP does this...as does Cinema Tools.

  • Graphics render bug in FCP 6 and 7 - Dare to prove me wrong?

    I have an issue with an HD video that contains red and purple text and graphics in the edit. I've looked for an answer tirelessly online, with friends, and through trial and error for a good 7 hours before giving up. Here's the deal,
    Sequence settings: HD 1440x1080 16:9, 23.98, HDV 1080p24 for editing the canon7d footage that came in - this however doesn't matter because i tested with every setting imaginable including animation raw and ended up with the same results for the graphics problem I'm having (kind of unrelated to the actual footage).
    I need to output this 9 minute edit I have to an HD file 1280x720 for youtube upload. So, it has to be under 2gb (youtube's limit) but for client purposes, it needs to be crisp and great looking as you would imagine.
    I have a bunch of PSDs, each show a different line drawing of a brush. For each one, the line is a different color. For any of the colors that aren't red or purple, they render crisp and wonderful in final cut pro over top the video. However, the graphics that have the lines that are red or purple, come out pixelated and blurry no matter how i try to render them. The only solution that worked was to render and output them with the animation codec. ProRes HQ worked too but not as well. However, this makes a file way too big. Whenever I went from animation to h264 or from FCP to h264, or any other web friendly format, graphics come out way pixelated. It makes me frustrated as to why all the graphics that were exactly the same except not red or purple came out perfectly crisp. Also, why is animation codec the only codec out there (besides uncompressed obviously) that will create clean edges in these red/purple graphics?
    Conclusion: Found that reds and purples are the only colors that seem to be effected when rendering the graphics. Everything else comes out nicely. Animation and pro res codecs aside, any codec making the video small enough for the web (less than 2gb) resulted in the problem of pixelation with the red and purple graphics. Based on extensive research I did online, I was surprised not to find many people posting about the exact same problem. For the issues I did find that seemed related, people concurred that HD nor regular DV video do a good job rendering bright reds or variations of red. Because I found no solutions online or from all the things I tried in the list below
    -re-rendered the PSD's in Final cut pro with variation of sequence setting to see if that would make any difference - it didn't. Tried all kinds of different settings in export for h264, keyframes, max quality, etc. no luck.
    -tried rendering to "Animation/uncompressed" as far through the process as possible. For instance, I outputted a perfectly crisp "Animation" file that was perfect looking. As soon as I re-exported to h264, mpeg4, or sorenson, or any other codec dropping the file size down, all results returned pixelated results for the reds and purple graphics.
    -made sure photoshop settings were all good, even copied and pasted psd into new 1920x1080 project, played with DPI up to 300 to see if it did anything, saved as different formats TIFF, png, eps, layers, flattened, 8-bit, 24-bit, 36-bit, etc., none of the formats worked correctly.
    -outputted my own purple and red graphics and text and rendered in final cut to see if the file had anything to do with it. same problem with my red and purple graphics and text.
    -Tried adding slight moving grain to the graphic in Final cut to try and trick FCP to thinking it was a video instead of a graphic and therefore render it smoothly.
    -consulted with 2 other video editors/media experts, ended up frustrating them as well (and hurting their ego a little since they were sure they could figure it out)
    -Ran the shot and graphic through after effects and premiere pro separately (different video programs) to see if final cut pro was causing the problem, same problem with those programs.
    -tried rendering on a different mac, still the same.
    -Actually upgraded my final cut pro version to the new version (now Final cut studio 3). Ran tests on new version of final cut pro, same exact problem.
    -added black edge to purple graphics to see if that did anything different to the rendering. Didn't help
    -Changed the hue of the graphic to anything other than red or purple. Wouldn't you know...That fixed it.
    Here is a link to the Animation Output of a half second of the edit with a sample red graphic crisp as can be for you to test (12.7mb) -
    http://www.robinsonhope.com/downloads/makeup_animationtest.zip
    Here is a link to view screenshots before and after to show you what rendering does to the graphics.
    http://www.robinsonhope.com/downloads/makeup_ss.jpg
    In case you'd like to try and find a solution, please download the link to the HD animation half-second clip and output to h264 or any other web friendly codec that would show these red graphics clean and not blurry and pixelated. Other rule is after doing the math, a 9 minute video with the compression you choose would need to be under 2gb. This shouldn't be too much of a problem because even a 1280x720 h264 at max quality for a 9min video is still under 2gb.
    The first person to show me that you are truly a FCP guru and can solve this, post a link of your successful solution, I will praise you as genius all over this forum. I will also be eternally grateful. Live in LA? I'll also buy you dinner, Haha. But seriously...

    Welcome to this forum,
    Sorry to hear you so struggling with this issue.
    And I doubt whether I can solve this for you, but I can say a few things.
    The title of this thread is:
    Graphics render bug in FCP 6 and 7 - Dare to prove me wrong?
    I'll prove you are wrong. Or actually you've already proved yourself wrong in your post:
    -Ran the shot and graphic through after effects and premiere pro separately (different video programs) to see if final cut pro was causing the problem, same problem with those programs.
    Seams that I try to annoy you, but I'm not. It's not a joke. The fact that other applications can't handle it as well AND the fact that Animation Codec (Which is pretty lostless) does not have this problem, tells you that the problem is likely the low compression you want OR the footage itself. And I dare say it's BOTH.
    I downloaded your testfile and have opened it in FCP and I can see in the Vectorscope that your color Red is too hot.
    [Click here|http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz356/rienkL/Screenshot2010-04-02at1324 20.png] to see the vectorscope of your picture?
    You also see the small boxes (clockwise)
    Red, Magenta, Blue, Cyan, Green, Yellow. The signal of your picture should stay somewhere between those boxes. You should read [this article|http://www.larryjordan.biz/articles/lj_scopes.html] (two third on the page) about the vectorscope. Also has a picture with the range to be broadcast safe.
    So back to your picture and your vectorscope. You'll see that just along the right side of the R in the vectorscope there's a peak which goes way out of the range. And that's exactly the color of your graphic.
    I tried isolating that color, reducing the saturation, and then do an export, but that failed. You should adjust that within the PSD's first and then see how exporting goes.
    So now you are thinking: My client wants his own colors! Sure he does. But those colors were probably designed for print, which does have another colorrange. Simple technical story. You're bound to specific saturation. Going over that means troubles....
    And I'm not claiming that your problem will be solved when you adjust this. It is still possible that h264 just doesn't like red too much. Maybe that's on purpose. Our eyes are most less sensitive to red, so that gives the compressor some extra room to compress in the reds (Don't know if this is what compression developers do; just thinking out loud, just an idea...)
    Hope this helps at least a little.

  • FCP 7 and FCP-X on same partition:  what problems are caused?

    I'm trying to figure out if the performance issues I'm having with FCP-X can be remedied, or if the problem is just buggy software.  Apparently, even a newer, faster, more powerful Mac is not the answer, as I read complaints from people with new, suped-up Mac Pros who say the software slows to a crawl.  Sounds familiar to me, but I'm on iMacs and a MacBook Pro -- all my Macs are 3-4 years old, and are from that Core 2 Duo era, not Quad Core processors.  All my Macs are maxed out at 4 GB or RAM.  So I'm certain new machines are in my future.  But judging from what some people say about their newer, faster machines, I'm not entirely convinced that it would solve the problem I'm having with FCP-X.
    There are numerous threads here reporting sluggish performance (perpetual spinning beach balls) relating to a memory leak or a problem relating to FCP-X's usage of memory (some say it happens worse in Lion).  Is that the problem?  And if it is, why hasn't Apple addressed it?
    Then there is this matter of having FCP-7 (FCP Studio) and FCP-X installed on the same partition.  Apple's "Best Practices" article clearly states that it's best to have the two applications installed on separate partitions.  Only problem (for me) is, I already had FCP-7 installed on the primary partition.  When I purchased FCP-X (the day it first became available), I hadn't read that article, so naturally, the software got installed...you guessed it...on the primary partition.  And yes, I could uninstall FCP-7 (FCP Studio), create a new partition, and then re-install it.  But I remember how long it took to install FCP Studio (about 4 hours, as I recall), so I've put off the ordeal of heading down that road.
    So I'm wondering.......
    What problems are known to occur as a result of having FCP-7 and FCP-X installed on the same partition?  Would my sluggish performance be related to this?  Or would going to the trouble of uninstalling FCP-7, re-partitioning, then re-installing FCP-7 (FCP Studio) into its own play space, only be a waste of time?
    What evidence is there that this co-install is the culprit causing sluggish performance?
    What ARE the problems that the co-install causes?  I've never heard anyone address this specifically.

    When FCP X first came out, Apple recommended keeping FCS 3 on a separate partition, so I did that.
    Recently I did a clean reinstall or Lion and installed FCS 3 as normal, followed by FCP X 10.0.3.
    During the FCP X install, FCP 7 was moved to a new folder called Final Cut Studio.
    'Studio' and FCP X now work happily on the same partition - but I have not tried opening both at the same time!
    Just now, both applications are the most stable they have ever been.
    These are my standard tips for improving performance:
    First, check the spec of your iMac against the system requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
    Particularly your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
    Other ways to improve performance:
    Keep projects to 20 mins or less. If you have a long project, work on 20 min sections then paste these into a final project for export.
    Create Optimised media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
    Hide Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power.
    Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot.
    Move your Projects and Events to an external HD (make sure it's formatted OS Extended - with journaled on or off) and run from there.
    Contrary to what Ian said above, the biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

  • Firewire800 hard drive and dv camera problems

    Currently I have two Lacie FireWire 400 drives daisy chained together, using the back FireWire 400 port, as well as a Lacie FireWire 800 drive using the back FireWire 800 port. I have a canon dv camera plugged into the front firewire port as well.
    When all the drives and the camera are on, and I try to open Final Cut Pro 4.5, the FCP gets hung up - with the spinning wheel of death.
    This set up worked fine before the firewire 800 drive was added today.
    Any ideas why?

    Four devices, and one firewire bus.
    And you are using the front (problematic) port for your cam.
    Anyway, some cameras do not play well with FW 800 devices, usually Canon from what I read. Particularly true with FCP 4.5 and 5.x

    A better solution for professional editing is a PCI SATA card and external enclosure.

  • Can FCP log and transfer footage from the Panasonic full HD 1080p camcorder

    Hi, my subject heading says it all. But I have read a review of the current consumer HD camcorders from Panasonic that says they have their own codec, and that it cannot be edited on any software but their own, which is not available in a Mac version... the review was a few months old, though, so hopefully Apple have now put in place updates so that we can ingest footage from this camera...
    Does anyone know about this? If not, any idea where I can find out?
    Thanks very much for any light on this situation!

    Sorry if you didn't know about this, but the review says that when recording at 1080/50p Panasonic uses a proprietory codec... I assumed that would be any model they produce that records at 50p.
    The review of the Panasonic HDC-TM700 states "The camcorder uses traditional AVCHD compression for every shooting mode other than the 1080/50p setting. (my emphasis)<
    If the reviewer doesn't know, how would we? We're FCP geeks, not universal camera knowledge base wonks.
    Research the codec specifically and the camera model you are likely to find some kind of hack or workaround. I have two Panasonic hdx170s and we have absolutely no issues bringing in full 1080 from the P2 cards but most of our stuff is shot 720.

  • FCP 5 and digital HDD video import

    Ok this might have a simple answer. I hope so. I have searched the forums and have not found an answer yet.
    I currently have FCP 5. I am considering (finally) purchasing a video camera that has a HDD, but I am not sure how the import would work. I noticed that FCP 6 and FCE 4 both have "log and transfer" screen, but my FCP 5 does not. How is anyone out there transferring video from video cameras with HDDs? Are they. Is FCP 5 compatible with these newer video cameras.
    thanks for any reply.
    Kyle P

    Is FCP 5 compatible with these newer video cameras.
    Depends on the codec the camera uses to record. I often use a Firestore HDD recorder attached to my camera ... and edit with FCP 4.5. Since v4.5 doesn't have a log and transfer option, I just import the files directly into my FCP project (after copying them to the Capture/Scratch drive).
    But many of the newer cameras use recording codec that are only compatible with FCP 6 and up. Check the camera before you purchase to make sure it's compatible with your version of the software or plan on upgrading.

  • FCP Audio and firewire at the same time?

    Hi, I was pondering an idea that made me wonder this. I hope it is not a stupid one but I am sure I get an "E" for effort or a "god bless his little heart".
    I will be moving my mac to a studio to work on a instructional DVD. I will be capturing from one main camera real time via firewire, I have the option of going out of the console via optical for the instrument tracks and vocal. ( whether I can only have one active audio inputed track or two doesn't matter but would like two).
    This audio will be pro quality and I just want to use FCP.
    I am only interested in the video without the camera audio.
    I want to capture the camera video(firewire) and studio(optical) audio at the same time.
    If not it's no big deal I can route audio to the 3.5mm audio mike input on the camera.
    I am running FCP studio and have no budget and a chance to play. I am on a barter project. I was just hoping for a time saver and down the road I would be happy to know my limitations as I may move into the studio and "sync" up.
    I have another camera that I will add later for my Picture in picture effects.

    Hey X thanks for your reply
    Well I talked to my friend at the studio. and we are still saving the audio on digital hard drive in case this doesn't work. ( Which I know is the right way). I only asked the question because I apparently am lazy and want to spend as little time trying to sinc up later. My solution was to be fluid. In the end the project would be available for download tutorials/lessons from his web page, which will be a whole other delivery question as I am working through the third party whose project this belongs. Given my information I am trying to cover a lot of possibles to create something better than he is asking ( A Pro Job )
    I was hoping to cross from "hobbiest" to "entry pro" here. Most I get to play with are relatives videos and stills. I have two completed two paying jobs in which I have purchased the mac and Final Cut Studio.
    This is more of a controlled environment and wanted to utilize as many choices as possible.
    The camera I am using (Panasonic PV-DV951-K) doesn't record to tape properly or doesn't replay what was recorded on tape. My solution was to go directly to FCP via firewire as a live realtime capture.
    I opted for this as having no choice and in the end. Given the amount of lessons that would have to be captured and the equipment I have conjured up I think it is my best solution.
    Again I thank you X and I meant no disrespect as to who is clueless. I am the one asking the questions. I don't always ask questions until I have searched the forum for an answer and appreciate those of you who take the time to answer "patiently".
    Also I am an electronic technician and in a pinch devour troubleshooting to the point of magiverism.
    When this is all over and I am enjoying a pint and reaping what few dollars this creates, I'd like to buy you all a beer. Then I'll plan the next hairbrain project.

  • Tapeless workflow with FCP 5 and Canon XL H1

    Is it possible to establish a tapeless workflow with FCP 5 and a Canon XL H1 shooting in HD mode?
    We have to shoot many days of lectures and want to skip the import of the footage. The firestore FS-C can only record up to 7.5 hours in HD but we don't have the time to empty it overnight so it can be available the next day...
    We can connect a couple of 500 GB lacie to a 17" Macbook Pro and wanted to use FCP to live capture from the camera. Is that possible?
    Or did anyone try to do that with the Canon Console software (windows only) and then import its stream in FCP?
    Thanks

    No time to unload a drive when you have all night? Why would that be? Isn't this just a big drag and drop? Can't let it start and go to dinner?
    If you shoot HDV you should also record it to tape becuase disk drives can fail etc during the shoot.
    You can capture live from the camera's FW port but again I'd shoot tape as well... use capture now but also use the device control that works with that camera to get the TC thru too. (probably FW HDV basic)
    The camera also has an uncompressed output but that would take a capture card and fast disk array (faster than FW for sure) to capture the uncompressed HD.

  • FCP Settings and timeline settings shooting HD 1080 60i?...

    Hello Group,
    Can anyone help out with the correct settings in the FCP timeline, and in FCP 7 for optimal editing shooting with a Panasonic AG-HMC40 AVCCAM in 1080 60i.  Just got the new camcorder which shoots on the SDHC cards in HD. I'm trying over and over to find the best settings but can't seem to get it just right. 
    Thanks very much for any suggestions, so much appreciated!

    But first you need to bring the clips into fcp using log and transfer (I assume it's like the hmc-150).  I'm pretty sure that on the hmc-150 there are certain formats that the camera will shoot that you cannot edit in fcp.  Check the manual.
