  • Importing Hi 8 video through Panasonic DVX 100

    Here's my dilemma... I want to capture Hi 8 video. I have hooked up my original Sony Handycam camera as the player - feeding video into my Panasonic DVX 100 through the old school red-yellow-white cables. My Panasonic DVX 100 video out is a Mac Firewire that connects into a firewire 6 port hub which connects into the Mac.
    Going through "Capture" on FCE, I can see the Hi 8 video. So I hit play on the Handycam player, then click "Capture Now."
    But then I get the following error message "Device must be in VTR mode when Device Control is enabled."
    I have the Panasonic in VCR mode (DV output set to "on") and the Handycam in "player" mode.
    What am I missing? Thanks for helping out!

    The solution poses a new problem, one that other people are having as well.. After I capture a clip, I get a warning regarding sample audio rate. According to my easy setup, the DV - NTSC - DV Converter audio rate is 48 kHz for both the sequence and capture.
    I can't find an audio rate setting on the Sony Handicam Hi 8 camera, which is the camera that originally recorded the tape.
    How can I resolve the error warning?

  • Panasonic DVX-100 audio sync tool not showing up in the tools menu

    Using FCP 7 in new Mac Pro with a clean install. I following the directions for copying the DVX-100 audio sync file into the proper folder /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins/
    The directions say the Offset Audio Sync command should now appear in the Tools menu. It does not.
    I have tried trashing preferences - reinstall the Audio Sync Tool - but it still does not show up.
    I use the Panasonic Camera and with my earlier editions of FCP I had no problem installing and using
    the Audio Sync file.
    Anyone have the same problem or know a solution?
    Thanks

    I am not sure what's happening with IE9 (no live site) but I had real problems viewing your code in Live View - until I removed the HTML comment marked below. Basically your site was viewable in Design View but as soon a I hit Live view, it disappeared - much like IE9. See if removing the comment solves your issue.

  • Editing progressive stuff shot on panasonic dvx-100

    hi
    i have been shooting my video piece on the above camcorder. i shot it as progressive 25 fpc (its a pal camera).
    i want to edit it but still keep it progressive.
    do i log and capture it as with regular interlace stuff or do i need to change the settings of the sequence or project ?
    since the frame rate is the same (25fps) and i dont need to print it to film, i can stay with 25.
    i just dont want to go interlace.
    also, how do i export it (it will be delivered as DVD and also as DV for backup) keeping it progressive ?
    do i need to do the log and capture and print to tape with the dvx-100 to do it progressivly or can i use the sony dsr-11 ?
    i appriciate your comments.
    thanx

    Nothing special to do here, just use the stock preset for DV PAL sequences and capture presets... the progressive scan is maintained thoughout. The "progressive" part of the equation was done when you shot it. It will be progressive all the way through the DVD burn. Just treat it as if it was DV, cause that's what it is...
    DSR or camera... won't matter, both will do the job of playing back the progressive video, again nothing special to do it's just DV...

  • Capturing 24p Video from Panasonic DVX-100

    I shot some material on the 24p mode of the Panasonic DVX-100a. I want to capture it as progressive Video because it's for The web. In The Final Cut capture settings, there is a setting for advanced pulldown removal. But not for The regular 24p mode. I dont even care about The frame rate, but i need This footage to be proggressive so I won't get the interlaced defect!

    In the USE area of the Easy Setup, choose Cinema Tools 23.98 from DV-NTSC. That will remove standard 3:2 pulldown (which is 24p). You would only use the Advanced Pulldown removal if you had shot 24pA (the A standing for Advanced). Be aware that you will still have 6 interlaced frames in your video.
    You no longer have to actually launch Cinema Tools to do this. You can do it from within FCP for about 2 or 3 versions now.

  • Matching video sources: Panasonic DVX 100 and Canon G10

    I am trying to match digital video captured on mini-DV from a Panasonic DVX100 with video captured on a Canon G10 digital camera. The G10 footage is a good quality, but looks noticably different, the clips do not blend well. Has anyone tried something like this before, or have any suggestions?

    A lot can be accomplished in the 3Way to get what you want, in fact, I would advise you against using Color for this, unless you know it and unless you're looking to establish an image baseline and have Color render new media. Time should have been taken to match the DVX100 to the G10 beforehand on chart like a DSCLabs Chrome du Monde or at least with a Macbeth Color checker.
    Find similar shots from each camera, place a marker at each spot. Toggle back and forth between the markers, observe your scopes (the vectorscope, waveform and RGB Parade - ignore the histogram as it's fairly worthless) as they will tell you what to do.
    Manipulate away.
    Don't know how to read your scopes? There's a section in the manual that quickly gives the highlights of this great skill to know.
    If you get in a bind, send me a couple of .tiffs from similar shots of each camera and I'll get you started.

  • DSR30 and Panasonic DV186 tapes

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to capture a Panasonic DV186 tape using a Sony DSR30, but FCP keeps stopping the capture. The error message says there is a problem with the tape, but there isn't. Is there a problem with FCP, the DSR30 and Panasonic tapes? Is there a setting I'm missing? We usually use DVCAM tapes with no problems. Thanks!

    John:
    Most probably some lack of compatibility. Some time ago we filmed an event with my Panasonic DVX-100 and a SONY as second camera. I tried to capture the Sony tapes in my Panasonic and no matter there was no error message, the video was captured with random errors.
    I finally had to sak for the SONY and capture directly from it.
    This happens sometime, and I heard the same stories here from time to time.

  • [OT] DVX-100 Broken 24p and Iris

    After 5 years of problem free operation, my DVX-100 is starting to have problems. All of a sudden the exposure is very dark in F6 cine mode, and my iris wheel is not working at all. Exposure is fine in non 24p normal or advanced modes, but iris is not working. I'm assuming the iris is mechanical and needs to be sent into a tech. This camera is now basically useless as I only want to shoot in 24p advanced mode. No exposure control doesn't help either. I've tried pressing the reset button but no change.
    Anyone know how I can fix this problem? If not, anyone know a reasonably priced place I can get the camera fixed? I'm based in LA. I called Panasonic and they said I could ship it to their repair center in Kansas. Evaluation fee is $130. They also recommended an authorized repair center called the Video Clinic which charges $140 for a diagnostic.
    Thanks,

  • Will it work with iMovie 8.0.6. PANASONIC DVX 100A?

    Hello
    I am bidding on a Panasonic camera PANASONIC DVX 100A. I "heard" that it works with iMovie, BUT, I would like to double check with you on the support board.
    I thank you all in advance.
    Xeno

    Best to ask this question on the iMovie forum if you want to be sure someone who uses iMovie and that camera sees the question.
    Still, if your computer has a firewire 400 port, the camera can be controlled by the computer.
    Depending on the how much you want to use the camera and how many hours there already are on the heads, you may want to use less expensive DV cam (or find something like a Sony DSR-11) as the playback device to keep the wear and tear on the dvx down.
    good luck,

  • 23.98 Panasonic DVX-100a

    So I shot an entire season of football on a Panasonic DVX-100a in 24Pa. During halftime I would turn the camera off to conserve battery. Upon capturing those clips I would get a time code break every time where the camera was turned off, giving me two separate clips. On the last couple games of the season the second half or the NAME-1 clip's audio would be off and continue drift off in weird intervals. Upon syncing that nightmare up did I realize that there was another issue related to exporting and playback. When I would export the edited tracks to a QT Movie file, (keeping the settings at default) the footage in the QT movie was different than that of what played back from the timeline. Rather than just showing the edited plays from the timeline it would show footage from the same game, just show parts that were edited out from the raw source. All of the obviously things like IN & OUT points, markers were checked (none set btw) to insure nothing was creating a mixup. My solution around this was to take the playback from the timeline dump it to tape and re-digitize to insure proper edited footage. Not sure where the mix up went. Any ideas??? I've used the camera since then and was successful with a proper edit. I've since stopped using that camera to prevent any future issues.

    So we take it that it's a bug which strenghens the
    usual warning: never update your software in the
    middle of a big project. Acually the more I look at
    FCP 6, the more I wonder if it's worth upgrading...
    I have another six months to go on this project, and I love smoothcam, but still....
    I'm going to try 6.0.1. If I don't get any satisfaction with that, I am going to go back to 5.1.4, which was working fine. Actually, FCP 6 solved what for me was a huge problem with version 5.1, which involved management of media and clips. Previous to version 6, if I moved a sequence from one nested bin to another one nested in a different bin, FCP silently and without any warning broke ALL links to the master clips in that sequence. FCP 6 has fixed this problem. But created others.....
    I will report back to this thread after I try 6.0.1.

  • Captured on the DVX-100 what happens when I export it to HDV-1080i50

    I Captured footage on the DVX-100, what happens when I export it to HDV-1080i50.
    Is it then considered HD?

    The short answer is "yes, BUT…"
    DVX-100 is a DV camera, thus it only captures DV. You can export your DV sequence to whatever format you desire, like HDV (a consumer-level version of HD), but that doesn't mean it will look as good as footage natively shot in HD. You gain no quality at all, in fact you lose quality due to scaling the footage up from the DV to HDV framesize. There are workflows for upconverting your DV footage to HDV or HD posted all over this forum and elsewhere on the Net. A quick search should give you some insight into the process.

  • Digitizing DVX-100 footage

    I've been trying to digitize, from FireWire 400, footage I've shot in 24p mode on the DVX-100, not the 24p advanced mode. My footage has come in looking compressed and with strange interlacing. I've tried just about every codec and different setup. And when I try to import those quiktimes into after effects I'm getting a pull down attached to it, saying it's 23.98 footage, when it was shot 29.97. Has anyone had these problems before?

    Hi
    What capture/sequence settings did you use in FCP?

  • Not shooting anamorphic with my Panasonic DVX 100B. Am I missing out?

    Hello All,
    I have a Panasonic DVX 100B that I shoot 4:3 ratio with letterbox. I use a .7 wide angle lens adaptor. Am I missing out by not shooting anamorphic?
    DG

    studio X has the answer. The ONLY difference between 4:3 and 16:9 is the frame. What are you framing and how do you want your frame to look? If you shoot 4:3 and you are trying to get a full mountain scape for instance, you'll need to zoom out further and contain more sky and foreground in order to get the full mountain range. If you shoot 16:9, you'll have a wider range, with less above and below the subject. (Of course this is just one example...) You are only missing what you want to show your audience.
    Sitcoms, for instance, would not benefit as much from 16:9 because in humor you want to keep the audience attention on the main action of the screen. Too much around that lessens the blow of the punchline. But in a drama or action, the area surrounding your main action is just as important when creating mood or tension.
