FCP can't playback HDV

When I set my FCP video playback settings to AJA KONA 1080i25fps, the playback on the sequence plays for a few seconds and then pauses. In fact any AJA playback setting is choppy. However, when I playback with video settings None...there is no problem. I need to output to tape immediately. Anyone have a solution to this? Thank you

AJA has an amazing technical support team and this is a question for them.
Good Luck

  • Can't capture HDV from Sony z1 on FCP 7

    Hi,
    I have set 'easy setup' to HDV (I have also tried HDV Fire wire basic) I've followed tutorial on all the set ups to capture.  But when I go to capture, FCP can control the play buttons and I can see the time code on screen but there is no picture or sound coming through to capture and is says 'Capture was aborted due to no incoming data from device'.
    I have checked everything.
    I followed all the suggestions in an older discussion in this forum -
    Unable to capture HDV footage with FCP 5.1
    This was the last post in that discussion: 
    "Re: Unable to capture HDV footage with FCP 5.1
    May 23, 2010 4:37 PM (in response to MrMajesticMole)
      I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who was having the same problem as you. Although you say the camera playback is set properly, please recheck this. go into your camera's playback menu>menu>standard set>VCR HDV/DV. Unplug your firewire from the camera. Make sure camera is set to HDV NOT auto. replace firewire cable. Now open FCP. Go in Audio/video settings>A/V devices (farthest tab on right). In box for playback edit to tape different from video output (make sure it's checked) mirrored (checked) Video playback 1080i50, Audio HDV. I hope that works now."
    I followed all these tips and nothing has changed.  This is the first time I am using HDV in FCP.  I have used the same Sony z1 camera to shoot and capture DV footage in my current FCP set up and I've had no problems.
    The only wierd thing is that under easy set up I selected HDV first with 'all rates' under frame rate.  When that didn't work I tried "HDV fire wire basic".  Then I tried to put the frame rate in a 50fps.  When nothing made any difference I put the frame rate back to all frame rates and while still on Format: HDV selected HDV 1080i50  and also have tried HDV 1080i50 with 'all frame rates' and everythime I go back, it's defaulted to  'HDV 720p50' in the 'use box and frame rate  50fps. 
    I would really appreciate help with this.

    Hi Russ,
    Thanks for getting back so quickly.
    I was feeling hopeful because I realised I had the fps rate set to 50 and when you said 25fps I thought that must be it.  Unfortunatly it hasn't worked at all.  It keeps saying there's no data incoming data from device, yet it acknowledges the timecode and I can control the camera from FCP.
    I double checked my settings and made sure the camera was on before launching FCP.  I am going to study the document you included to see if there is anything else I am doing that isn't working.  I am wondering if there are some audio settings mucking it up.
    If you have any other thoughts let me know.  I will let you know if I figure it out.
    Cheers,
    Carolyn

  • Can't use HDV quicktime .mov files (captured in FCP on a mac at work) on PC

    Hiya everyone!
    I've taken some work home from the macs at work, but can't open it on my PC.
    Footage was captured in FCP on a mac at work, HDV quicktime .mov, but won't open in the newest quicktime, windows media player and more importantly in Adobe After Effects CS3 or Premiere Pro CS3 on my PC at home.
    When I try opening the files in quicktime, the screen is white, but the audio plays. They don't open in windows media player at all. When I try to import them into Premiere, I get a message reading, "Error Message, Codec missing or unavailable". But they import into After Effects, except they only play as white...
    I've tried converting them into almost everything, and they often play (as .avi for example in the newest QT, WMP, Adobe Premiere and AE), but they increase A LOT in size and decrease A LOT in quality.
    The HDV files that won't open read as:
    Source: *.mov
    Format: HDV 1080i50, 1920 x 1080, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 48.000 kHz
    Movie FPS: 25.00
    Playing FPS: (Available when playing)
    Data Size: 69.53 MB

    Current time: 00:00:01.64
    Duration: 00:00:20.76
    Normal size: 1920 x 1080
    Current size: 1920 x 1080
    Anything smaller than 1920 x 1080 plays fine.

    My problem is almost identical to these 2...
    No one in the whole world seems to have an answer...
    Does anyone here know how I can use the HDV files from the work macs on my PC at home?

    HEy, I have been looking into this problem... i also wanted to play quicktime files using my pc... The last thing i tried was downloadiing these codecs
    1)apple pro res *for pc
    2)mpeg 2 codec for pc
    I have HDV files captured on a Mac G5 they are 30p 720,
    I think i am close to solving the problem because: before installing the codecs i couldn't see the video and only audio.. but now i open it and i can see the video partially... here are my screen captures....
    anyone interested in getting this solved???,... i would also like some help in importing m2t files from VLC player to HDV split where they can be read and edited. Thank you.
    Ultimately my goal is to be able to edit these HDV files directly and export them back out with good quality.. because my only editing choice right now is Windows movie maker.
    this is an error i got from the HDV split program. Its supposed to read m2t files..

    As a rule of thumb, any CoDec associated with the Apple Pro applications is generally not available on Windows. This also includes their flavor of HDV. The only exception at this point is ProRes, for which they added a player component recently. So therefore this would have to be what you use for capture/ export from FCP. Apart from that you can of course always buy a capture card from Blackmagic or AJA with the benefit of the CoDecs being available cross-platform... Or you use a commercial software-only CoDec like Cineform.

  • How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

    How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
    I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
    Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation.  I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times.  All hard drive will eventually fail.  It's a question of when, not if.
    I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files.  You can try importing these directly into fcp.
    If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
    http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
    or
    Magic Bullet Grinder
    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
    But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy.  HDV is a problematic format.  Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

  • Which versions of FCP can import the .m2t files? Only 7?

    I understand FCP7 has a Sony HDV codec that will create .mov files via "Log and Transfer". Does anyone know if this is the only vers. of FCP that can do this?
    Message was edited by: mrkeeney

    Streamclip works good for my immediate purposes - but agreed, I would prefer to get a hold of an HDV deck and digitize myself next time.
    - or -
    Does anyone know if the Canon Vixia HV30 can shoot non-HDV footage to a regular miniDV tape? Just trying to see if my client can shoot future footage in regular def. to avoid this editing issue in the future. These videos are only winding up as little web clips.

  • How can I playback blu-ray .img files generated by Final Cut Pro X?

    When I share a Final Cut Pro X project in Blu-ray and I set the output device as Hard drive (blu-ray), it creates a blu-ray image with a .img extension.
    By the way, the project's clips are AVCHD (.mts extension) and the settings are set to 1080i (1440x1080 25i).
    My question is: can I playback this file without having to burn a blu-ray disc?
    I've been looking for information, and some people seems to playback blu-ray .iso files.
    And: would Compressor 4 solve my problem? (is there anyway in Compressor to create a .iso image or something easier to play?).
    By the way, I do have access to both Windows and Mac computers.
    Thanks in advance,
    Pol

    Thanks for the answer.
    If you own Compressor 4, could you tell me if it includes an option to generate a .iso file instead of a .img?
    (here's information on how to playback a .iso).
    Thanks,
    Pol

  • All of the sudden-fcp can't find xl1 or gl2 firewire?

    2 cameras brand new cables and fcp can't locate them to log and capture.
    Computer can't find digital cameras-but can find scanner with same firewire port????? Anyone ever had this problem? What could it be? Have tried eveything I can think of. Won't capture with imovie either???? Has always worked fine in the past.

    Did you try Martin's suggestion of taking the scanner off the FW bus?
    If you did that and it didn't resolve it. Then I'm stumped.
    I mean, you have two camcorders doing the same thing, and SP shows the FW bus as active. And you say you've tried all the suggestions.
    OK, have you tried Zebulun's Guinness Solution suggestion? Shut Down, and unplug the computer and all devices from AC. Pull the plugs completely. Have a Guinness. After at least 15 minutes, plug back in, boot up again and see if things improve.

    In a links only presentation, advancing through the slides is only achieved by clicking a hyperlink.
    creating a hyperlink:
    place a shape on the slide from the shapes tool or (Insert > Shape) to act as a clickable button,
    right click the shape and select Add Link
    select slide and choose a slide number to hyperlink to
    you will still need to follow my directions for the video to play if it does not autoplay

  • CC can not playback timeline

    Hi.
    My company just got a 3.4 GHz iMac with 16 GB RAM and an GTX 780M for video editing. I want to use Premiere CC Pro and just installed the 30 day trial.
    However, straight to my problem... I can not playback the timeline. I have tried adding audio files, video files (AVCHD and H.264/AAC in QuickTime container), but the timeline does not playback when I hit play. The "play" button goes from a play button to a "stop" button, but the nothing happens. The marker that shows the position on the timeline does not move. Sometime it's also difficult to "stop playback" (make the play button go from showing a "stop symbol" to a "play symbol" again). I've installed CUDA and I've tried changing Project Settings/Video Rendering and Playback to all three available settings. No difference...
    Here is a video that shows the problem. The in browser clip is lowres. Be sure to hit download button in the upper right corner of Dropbox to download the original if you are having trouble seeing the details.
    Dropbox - Premiere-problem screencast.mov
    Any ideas? If I don't get this working I will have to get Final Cut Pro instead, which I'm not very keen on.

    Check in iTunes Preferences/Playback and make sure you have High Definition selected in Preferred Video Version.

  • If I actually import full files into FCP, can I then drop source files into the trash?

    If I actually import full files into FCP, can I then drop source files into the trash?   I'm editing now and want to free up HD space.

    Just to confirm: in Preferences, Import, Files..."copy to library storage location" is selected.
    So I assume I can dispose of source files.
    Thanks for quick reply and also the the cautionary note. 
    This is low-level family footage I export to .mov and share on YouTube, so originals are not critical.

    Can anyone help to me?
    thx all!

    Are you running FCP 4.5 now and NOT FCP 4.1? If so, try trashing your preference files... same website has a preference file utility. If it still doesn't see your DV deck, post back... it's probably not a software issue. does your Mac see the deck? From the System Profiler found in your Utilities folder? If not, it's a hardware problem... and 4.1 won't see it either... there's a PMU switch you can push to reset your FW bus too... it's done by disconnecting power from your machine, then pushing this tiny button on your motherboard. Usually near the battery or RAM chips labeled PMU.
