Field Order When Capturing

Hi all,
I have a slight issue when capturing in Premiere Pro CC. I am capturing NTSC footage from a VHS via the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle for Thunderbolt. The capture process goes smoothly, in general. However, I have a slight issue with the field order.
When I capture the video through Blackmagic Media Express, the video captures lower field first, which should be correct, right? But when I capture in Premiere Pro, it captures as upper field first.
I have checked my capture settings within PP - it's setup for Blackmagic capturing. I'm capturing NTSC 4x3 at uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2, which is the same that the Blackmagic software is capturing at. I cannot find an option for field order. I know that I can reinterpret the footage, but I prefer to capture correctly.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks in advance.

Gotcha. The catch, for me at least, is that any videos I capture through Premiere will not play back on my NTSC monitor through my blackmagic device when played in Premiere. However, if I import footage captured in Blackmagic and drop that in a sequence, it plays back through the NTSC monitor fine.
Oh well,
Thanks for the help!
PS - Are you saying I should leave it as upper field first, rather than reinterpret to lower first?

  • What field order when editing AVCHD in SD timeline?

    Hi,
    I have some AVCHD 60i footage which will be output to DVD.  Reading different ways of editing HD I finally decided to edit the HD footage in an SD timeline since it will never be output to anything other than SD and I then have the ability to zoom around a bit more if needed.
    I know I should be editing an interlaced timeline but when I select DV NTSC I get "Lower Field First" by default, whereas I have read that AVCHD interlaced footage is Upper Field First.  I do know that DV and SD are different.  If I just create a 720x480 29.97 upper field first timeline will I be ok or is the final m2v output expecting one field order of the other?
    I will export my final timeline as a lagarith AVI which I will then have Encore encode for me.
    Thank you for your suggestions!
    -Stephen

    Thank you both for your input.  I also thought that having a smaller scale timeline would speed up rendering of effects, but maybe I'm mistaken.
    I'm exporting as Lagarith AVI because I cannot, not matter what settings I use, get a crisp image when exporting direct to m2v.  I always get noticable artifacting around the edges.  The AVI appears to minimize this at least a little.  I am using Max Rener Quality and Render and Maximum Depth.
    But without getting on a tangent on those, it sounds like it IS ok then for me to edit the AVCHD footage (upper field first) in an upper field first timeline and then export (either m2v or avi) as an upper field first file?
    I'll keep working on the encoding (been working on it for 2 days) to see why the artifacting is going on.
    Thank you again,
    -Stephen

  • Field Order Changes?  Rendering from Color.

    I received a project from a client that was run through color. I noticed their source files were lower field dominant (525/29.97) and their renders from color were upper or odd field dominant. This caused some strangeness in their sequences and it looks like they de-interlaced their clips and/or changed the field order of their sequences. I can't find anywhere in Color to set this as a pre-set, other than setting to de-interlace renders. Is it possible that Color is inverting the field order when it renders? This used to happen with Compressor, when I would export FCP for DVD's, sometimes Compressor would (set to Auto) guess wrong on the field dominance. Can anyone advise?
    Thanks in advance.

    If only it were that easy. Of course, you will want to set a "re-interlace" for export....
    De-interlace seems to be poorly understood and not very well executed in a lot of file-based image processing. In COLOR, both the Geometry and COLORFX rooms display spectacular weaknesses in this regard. To even use the word as its applied in COLORFX is a bit of a misnomer, because the real thrust of the exercise is to "split" and flag the fields for proper dominance handling. The COLOR USER manual has a good illustrated example of how to do this -- the result is a "twin" effects tree -- split the frame into its components at the top, do your voodoo identically for each "field" stream, then correctly zipper them back together at the bottom. Its a bit of a secret process, not entirely dissociated from a Masonic handshake.
    There is a notional similarity to SHAKE in this regard, although that application only needs the FileIn node and the GLOBALS render tab enabled appropriately.

  • How to keep User Order when exporting a collection?

    I made a collection of about 300 VC's, chosen from many folders in my catalogue. These images were taken over a 10 year period, using 3 different cameras and having different names and file types. The collection was sorted by "User Order". I spent a good deal of time organizing the collection so that the images made visual sense when shown as a slide show on a digital album.
    I exported the collection to my hard drive as jpegs, and checked the box to place them back in my catalogue, in a designated subfolder within my parent folder. All went well except they are now completely out of order, and that order makes no logical sense whatsoever - not by date, metadata, filename, attributes, nothing that I can figure out. I have to start all over again to reorder them - something that will take several hours.
    What did I do wrong? How can I keep my designated user order when I export a collection? 
    I am using LR 4.3.
    Thanks for your replies.

    Hi Rene,
    Lightroom does not maintain user order upon exporting. It would make no sense when not exporting back to catalog, but when exporting back to catalog I can see that it may be desirable - consider making a feature request (Idea) here:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/new
    In the mean time, I *think* what most people do to assure export ordering is to name the files according to desired order, then sort by filename. I could be wrong about that, but that's all I got.
    Beware: If said approach is adopted, one would not be able to do incremental exports and maintain such ordering (e.g. when single image added to publish service), so all files would need to be re-exported if such change was made.
    I have requested access to sort order and added-order via plugin for plugin-assisted remedy, but so far no go.
    Another idea (which may not be acceptable) is to use capture-time to maintain sort order of exported photos (via a plugin like Exportant), then it would be easy enough to maintain user order by manipulating capture time (of exported photos I mean, post-export), but then you'd lose the true capture-time, granted: capture time could be put into some other field, but that might foul things up downstream... hmm - sorry for rambling/brain-storming out loud.
    Maybe somebody else has a better idea.

  • Motion and Field Order Stupidness

    I'll try not to rant too much.
    But what is up with Motion and working with DV NTSC video with fields? I have had nothing but headaches. I am a long time After Effects user, and I was glad to get Motion 2 (2.1.2), but I've just spent the last hour and half trying to get it to render DV NTSC video correctly without it getting field jitter on a project that needed to be over-nighted to go on the air. And it still doesn't look totally correct. (I'm not a happy camper)
    Here's the deal, I took DV captured footage from FCP using the standard DV/DVCPRO - NTSC preset I've used forever. That footage was imported into a Motion project that was using its own NTSC DV project preset (all lower fields -even). But every time I'd play it back in Motion, or render it out (still using the NTSC DV render preset), I get serious field jitter on DV output.
    Eventually I found under the Inspector-Media tabs that the footage was imported as Field Order- None (why I have not a clue). So I changed all the footage to Lower (even). That worked on any footage where size, rotation, or position was not changed. If any of those attributes was changed I get the field order jitter. It seems to me that Motion is not able to render out field ordered video properly and the quality looks poor or jittery.
    Now that might seem hasty to say that, but I've been doing the same thing in AE for years, never having to change the imported field order to get it to look right and I have always captured, imported, work with projects and rendered using the QT DV/DVCPRO - NTSC presets.
    Can someone help me because I can not believe I've had to change so many setting to try to get video to look right from Motion while using the same settings during the entire workflow.
    Thanks, and sorry for the rant.

    Hey, thanks for the replys.
    [....you might want to try using the animation codec..millions of colors...]
    I gave that a shot this morning, and I'm having the same problem. See what's going on now is after changing the Field Order to even for the footage media, all of it looks decent except for the ones on an angle, croped or resized and I see this in both Motion's preview and the final render when I play it back in FCP. So as per your suggestion I rendered with the animation codec (filed rendering) and it still has it. Its just odd to me that it does that, like I said before I've worked in the DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec with FCP and AE for years with no quality degrade. The reason I have always do that is that's what I capture to and that what my FCP project is so to keep it all consistant. BTW, this is going network and cable, no different than I usually do.
    [...are you enabling field rendering in the Canvas or in the export settings?]
    Yes I am, sorry, I should have pointed that out. I have done combinations of different QT codecs with and without field rendering turned on to see different results. None of course resolves this issue.

  • Combination HD/SD and field order

    Hello all -
    I have a program which combines 1080i60 and 480i video in a 1080i60 timeline. The 1080i footage was captured through a Kona LHe, upconverted from 720p30 and 480i DVCAM by the JVC deck. The SD footage was captured as uncompressed SD from Beta SP using the same Kona.
    My question has to do with managing the field order for encoding to SD mepg for DVD.
    When I send the sequence to compressor, the mpeg preset defaults to upper field dominance (top first). I am used to specifying SD encodes as bottom first, but left it set that way for my first test, figuring this would correspopnd to the field order oof the source. What I seem to be seeing is that only the SD clips are winding up with reversed fields. I could be wrong, and I need to check it a little more carefully, since a lot of the footage originated as progressive anyway.
    However, my question is, if in fact it is only these clips, which is the best way to address this:
    - change the field dominance of the SD master clips in FCP?
    - apply a field reversal filter to the clips in the sequence?
    - de-interlace the clips in the sequence?
    - change the field dominance in my Compressor preset?
    I'd be interested to find out more about how the field dominance is managed by FCP when upconverting, downconverting, and combining formats is handled when capturing, editing, and exporting. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks -

    Upon further inspection (viewing the DVD on a CRT) it looks like the fields are ok after all.I wa seeing the fields in simulator, which is normal, but the field order looks correct on the final disc.
    I am noticing one very strange effect on a clip that has been slowed down, however, where the fields seem to be getting interpreted in the wrong order, resulting in a back-and-forth motion. Again thie clip is interlaced SD in an HD sequence.

  • Field order on Firewire output

    I have been using Premiere Elements for some years and, before that, Premiere 6.5. I have now begun to use Premiere Pro CS6 and am getting on well with it. I have Windows 7 Home Premium with 4Gb of RAM. I realise that 4Gb is borderline for editing HD material but for the time being I shall mainly be cutting SD DV from tape. I have a Pyro Firewire card which is connected to a Sony DSR11 tape deck. I am in the UK and work in PAL 625 720x576, very occasionally 1920x1080i AVCHD, from SD memory cards. The composite video output from the DSR11 is plugged to a CRT monitor.
    Capture works fine from the DSR11. But, when using the same unit in E-E mode for monitoring or when Exporting to tape from Premiere, the field order as displayed on the monitor and recorded on tape is wrong. The only way to correct the problem is to reverse the field order of every clip on the Timeline, resulting in everything needing rendering and it all taking a long time.
    All indications are that the captured material is correct (lower field first) and that ingested by Elements and previously cut on PrEl is known to be OK. All output from Pro as fed down the Firewire is reversed. I can see no Set Up that selects the Field order.
    So, my question: Have I missed something? Is there a hidden menu somewhere?
    I'm looking forward to many years working with Pro, just so long as I can get over this little hurdle. Thank you for your time and for any advice you can offer.
    Alan S.

    If you want to avoid having to reverse every clip in the timeline individually then you can right click each source clip in the bin  and select the "modify>interpet" option and make the field order correct. This way anytime you drag anything from that clip to the timeline it will already be corrected. Doing this with the 1 source clip in the bin will also correct any trimmed clips created from the source clip as well. Basically it will save you from having to click the same clip several times in the timeline to reverse the field order individually.
    However it still clearly stinks it's reversing your field order, sorry I don't have any ideas on how to fix your actual problem.

  • Using Internal Orders to Capture Vehicle Maintenance.

    Dear Experts;
    Our company has automobiles that are service by a third party.
    We create service LPOs whenever the vehicle service is due.
    Once the service is done, a service acceptance is done and payment process.
    Now we want to use Internal orders to capture the vehicle maintenence costs.
    Kindly advise me on the type of Internal order we shouldcreate and how the LPOs and payment should be processed againest the Internal order..
    Thanks in advance.
    Richard.

    Hi
    Create a Service PO on your vendor
    Assign the IO Number in the PO (Use Acct Assgn Catgry F)
    When the service is rendered, enter the Service Entry Sheet in MM module.. Expense would be posted to the IO
    In one of the Text Fields, you can capture the Vehicle No or use exit COOPA003 to add customer defined fields in the IO

  • Field order issues after export to DV Pal from uncompressed

    We are experiencing some difficulty exporting clips from FCP to our Omneon Server for TX.
    We are capturing 8 bit uncompressed (AJA and Blackmagic) from digibeta for our edit and all editing stays in uncompressed until final output. Our transmission system demands DV PAL files so we export finished items as DV PAL in FCP and drop onto the server
    Our problem is that on playback from the server, the field order is incorrect. Although the exported DV clips properties show lower field order, the clip is obviously playing upper field first. If we capture and edit in DV and export the DV file to the server, then we have no problems. I have tried
    exporting uncompressed clips to DV via Compressor and changing the field order in frame controls but no success. It seems that when a clip is captured and edited in upper field it hangs onto that status even after conversion to DV!! Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

    when you drop one of your 8 bit uncompressed source clips into your DV PAL timeline, is FCP correctly adding the Shift Fields filer to those timeline instances?
    do you edit in 8-bit uncompressed and then export direct to DV PAL or do you nest your 8 bit uncompressed sequence into a DV PAL sequence first and then export as Quicktime Movie w/ current settings? if not the latter, try it (and make sure your nest has the Shift Fields filter applied)

  • MIRO issue (urgent!), amount and quantity fields are not captured from PO

    Hi,
    When we try to post thought MIRO using PO as reference, quantity and amount fields are not captured. We do MIGO first and then MIRO.
    GR based invoice verification in the vendor master is selected and the check mark GR-based in the PO is selected too.
    We're getting this MIRO issue for "all" PO and Service Entry Sheet.
    We'll appreciate your recommendation in order to fix this critical issue as soon as possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    I was looking for copy controls and other functions. Glad this is now resolved. You need to award yourself points!

  • Cannot get rid of the horizontal lines (field order or interlacing?)...

    OK- I have footage which is 25fps DV Pal 720/576 (was shot on tape, 4:3 letterboxed), lower field/even which I am editing into a short 25 second sequence which needs to be 16:9 (as my final project will be that, and this footage/sequence is the only 4:3 one in the ten to be used).
    The current sequence I have worked in is showing up as 25fps DVCPRO Pal 1280/720 also lower field/even and it is working OK (NO idea how!) except for the clips I am shrinking for a multiple screen section- they are shrunk to 45% and quite interlaced looking- meaning that I am seeing quite bad horizontal lines even in the playing back of the sequence, before export.
    Notably one clip is FINE- it is different in that it has been "grown" to 180% because of the fact that it was 4:3 letterboxed and I needed it to appear 16:9. I see no interlacing/field order issue...
    What do I need to do in order to "fix" this now that I have a gorgeous sequence and cannot export it to look like anything decent?
    I feel I do NOT understand the settings I should set up for capture, working and export- I am just stabbing in the dark here. I guess a problem I have is that while I learn super fast when shown to do something I don't make the connection when reading manuals well. In other words- if it is not a response to an issue I have I cannot tell that it is the answer I seek. I am so despondent.
    Ideally I would need to be able to fix the mess as the work I have done is long and hard (I am not really a bad editor- creative but clueless when it comes to setting things up right, it would seem!). Please and many, many thanks.

    Thanks for that. It was a horrible blow as he had just been nominated for his first BAFTA and I was so hopeful that he would take me on as an apprentice...
    OK- the issue will be one most students creating showreels will encountering as we don't tend to shoot ideal footage, on different cameras we don't "know", and certainly don't have a say about how it is ingested. So it is a case of doing the best we can with what we have.
    I ended up dealing with it by using Compressor to "reconform" the footage I was using and to also use a 30%/45% scale-down of each of them and made a multi-clip collage of the material. The "problems" are almost lost in the scaling down, so I am OK with it.
    Of course there is still the problem that if I move from the college's Avid system to my home set up of Final Cut Pro I get very annoying issues also with the Avid's exports (QT6) showing up as 5:4 instead of the 16:9 it was exported as!

  • Export QuickTime Movie shifts field order

    In august I finished grading a project and made a QT Prores 422 master file for the client to have delivered on a hard drive.
    The client has kept quiet until now about an issue - the field order seems to be wrong. I couldn't believe my ears when he told me that. The timeline is lower (even) while the QT file he had received is Upper (odd).
    I selected 5 seconds of the timeline and exported using CMD+E, and it says "Setting: current settings". So I thought it would be lower field as the timeline - but no - it comes out as upper, every single time.
    How does this happen? Do I really have to make a conversion through compressorr?!

    The following settings are the same for the prepped timeline and the one that came back from Color
    *Sequence settings*
    720x576 PAL Anamorphic 16:9
    Field Dominance: Lower (even)
    Compressor: Apple ProRes 422
    *Item Properties*
    Frame Size: 720x576
    Anamorphic: Yes
    Compressor: Apple ProRes 422
    Field Dominance: Lower (even)
    However, I think I nailed it. Gonna do some further testing to make sure though... In the Export to QuickTime Movie window, I found that I can select some other setting, using ProRes 422 PAL Anamorphic for instance. And as far as I know - PAL is always lower field, and it seemed to work for the first test I did.

  • How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3?  i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow.  i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

    how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3?  i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow.  i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow.  i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random.  thanks.

    If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
    retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
    shuffe the list properly
    create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
    Here  is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
    on removeItem(ims, i)
      -- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
              if ims is {} then return {}
              if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
              if i < 2 then return rest of ims
              if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
              if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
              return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
    end removeItem
    on shuffle_items(ims)
      -- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
              local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
              set numitems to length of ims
              if length of ims < 2 then return ims
              set ims_shuffled to {}
              set nextrest to ims
              repeat until nextrest is {}
                        set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                        set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                        set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                        set numitems to numitems - 1
                        set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
              end repeat
              return ims_shuffled
    end shuffle_items
    on shuffleIms()
      -- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
      -- and display them in random order in full screen mode
              local imageSel, shuffled, i
              tell application "Aperture"
      activate
                        set imageSel to (get selection)
                        set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                        set fullscreen to true
                        if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                        repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                                  reveal {item i of shuffled}
      delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                        end repeat
                        set fullscreen to false
                        return shuffled
              end tell
    end shuffleIms
    shuffleIms()
    Some more code snippets to go from here:
    To create an album:
                        tell library 1
                                  if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
      make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                                  end if
                        end tell
    And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                        repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                                  duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                        end repeat

  • How To Automatically Create Planned Orders When Sales Order Is Saved

    I have a MTO sceanrio where we need to create planned orders when sales orders are saved without running MRP.
    I have the Planning Strategy Group set to 81 in the material master, but it didnt create the planned orders.
    Could you tell me other settings I should review to make the planned orders create automatically?

    Tony,
    At the "Requir. Classes" (OVZG) customizing screen, field "Automatic start of make-to-order in background mode" affects the automatic planning. See fields help doc. below.
        If you select this indicator, the system automatically carries out
        single-item, multi-level planning for a sales order if a sales order
        item is either created or changed.
        This function can only be used for make-to-order production.
    So check out the Req. Cl that yr Req. type (req. type is part of a strategy).
