Footage pauses when capturing

The problem I'm having is that as i'm capturing from my Panasonic DVX 100 to FCP 4.5 the footage is intermitently pausing, but not on the camera, just as it's downloading, also it's just the video pausing the audio continues to play unaffected, however after it's downloaded the timelines for the video and audio are the same eventhough it's only the video that's pausing? I've tried capturing to both an external drive and the computers drive and the results are the same.
any ideas? Thanks!!

  • When capturing footage is there a way to automatically create new clips...

    When capturing footage in Final Cut Pro is there a way to automatically create new clips like it does in iMovie. I have to capture over 9 hours of footage and I dont want to spend the time logging each clip. I also dont want to just capture the whole tape then go back and log each clip. I really like how iMovie automatically creates a new clip each time the rec/pause button was pushed. is there anyway I can get Final Cut to do this??????

    You can capture the complete clip and then apply Mark > DV Start/Stop Detect over the captured clip. You could get the best of two worlds so: smooth capture and clips creation.

    DVCam decks should automatically lock onto the control track and playback OK, it's normally not the case the other way around with regular DV decks that don't pick up on the fact it's DVCam material and play back slowly and with picture and sound breakup.

  • When capturing HD, FCP breaks up the raw footage into many separate parts

    I'm using FCP and trying to capture some HD footage. When I try this, it captures, but all my footage (about 30 mins worth) is broken up by FCP into smaller segments, so instead of one single 30 minute file (which is what I usually get) I get 45 separate chunks that range from 2 minutes long to only 3 or 4 seconds. Obviously, this doesn't lend itself to very easy editing.
    I've captured HD without this problem before. I've also captured this exact same footage to iMovie HD without any problem, so I'm pretty sure it's not my tape. Anyone know why FCP would suddenly start doing this?

    I'm just using a Canon HV-10 as my "deck" and importing via FireWire 400.
    I think the problem was my external capture drive. I have only firewire 400 and I don't think it was fast enough to capture, so it broke it up. I could capture the entire thing in one shot if I captured direct to my internal hard drive but not to the external.
    Anyone know how to fix this beyond capturing to the internal drive and then transferring it over to the external one? I bought a 1 TB external firewire drive specifically for my HD projects and I'd like to be able to capture directly to it, if at all possible.

  • A way to adjust audio when capturing video?

    I transfered some video/audio and am having distortion in some audio.
    The original audio does not peak and when I captured it in Premiere CS6, it is not peaking out, but when I play back, I can hear occasional distortion. The video is up at:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNNgJiZMrRA
    Does this sound like it is overmodulating or is something else happening?
    Is there a way to adjust audio when capturing audio or is it a straight feed? Wondering if I can lower the audio input to try to fix.
    thanks in advance for your help,
    Charlie

    How are you capturing the content? Because in my experince premiere doesn't have a way to adjust the audio levels of what your capturing. However if you post how you are capturing the footage in more detail I might be able to help. Please tell me exactly how you have everything hooked up.
    For example if you have the camera hooked straight to the computer or if you're using a capture card if so what kind. Some capture cards have audio gain settings which might be causing the issue. Also some decks and cameras have audio playback volume settings which can also cause audio to be sent to premiere louder than what it started as. So if you give more detail I may be able to offer some sort of help.
    One thing you might try though to remove that distortion is too add a lowpass filter to the audio, and start off by setting the low pass filter to like 3000 and just adjust by 500 up or down from there until the distortion goes away. I've had to do this in the past with audio that's distorted before. (Although I haven't experinced the specific issue you're experincing before.) Although it will make the persons voice sound  muffled it will take most of the distortion out. Which getting rid  of distortion at the cost of making it sound somewhat muffled is a decent trade off if worse comes to worse and you can't get the issue figured out. 

  • 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?

  • Selecting microphone when capturing video from the webcam

    Using Final Cut Pro X
    I want to capture video from my webcam into Final Cut.  I have a USB microphone (Yeti) with which I want to record the audio.  I cannot find an option to select my input source for audio when capturing this footage.  Final Cut seems to default to my microphone on my webcam, which causes echoing and noise. I can select the USB mic when doing a voiceover, but when I capture video I cannot find an option to select my input.  I've made my USB mic my default device in Sys Prefs, but that doesn't work.  Any other ideas?
    Options
    1.  Figure out how to change the default input for webcam capture in Final Cut
    OR
    2.  Use another program.  I've also tried to do the same in both QuickTime and iMovie, and they both capture audio only from the webcam as well.
    Everything I've found online talks about voiceover.  I don't want that.  I want to capture video with it.
    Suggestions are appreciated.  Thank you.

    Thanks.  Don't know why I didn't see it.  That arrow is pretty small.
    I do still have an issue that I cannot figure out.  I'm using the same mic for webcam recording (now in QT thanks to Luis) and in Final Cut for voiceovers.  Though I'm still on the same Mic the sound is not the same.  It's close, but the sound on the voiceover sounds cleaner and clearer.  I'm sitting in the same spot speaking the same way, but the sound quality difference is noticable.  Not sure why.
    It seems that the difference is in how each software deals with it.
    It may be that QT is sampling audio differently from FCP X somehow, or using a different audio codec or whatever.
    Just guessing, I really have no concrete knowledge.
    Oh, wait: there are a few things that I can notice, after trying a small example: the QT audio is AAC at 44.1 KHz,
    the FCP X is AIFF at 48KHz. Compression and sample rate are different.

  • Imovie crashes when capturing video

    I have a MAC powerbook pro with IMovie 8. The program works fine except when capturing video. It will capture about 20-40 seconds of video then the "application quits unexpedtedly". I have tried two different cameras and the same thing happens with both.
    I also have Final Cut loaded on the computer and Final Cut will capture fine from both cameras.
    Any ideas why IMovie is crashing?
    Thanks,
    eden

    I am having exactly the same problem. The most infuriating thing is that i have only had this mac for 2 months and when i first brought it it worked fine, with exactly the same camera and settings! I downloaded all the updates and managed to import 20 minutes of footage (which got my hopes up) but then it started to crash again
    does anybody have a solution?

  • Problems with audio sample rate when capturing DV50

    Hello from Spain, I have a problem when capturing DV50 source footage: I setup my sequence settings and capturing settings like always, DV50 codec and 48k sample rate for audio, then when the capturing process finish the result is a file that contains audio to a non-48k audio sample rate, then video and audio don´t match. The sample rate is 47945 and other similars, not always the same, sometimes 47214 sometimes 48000, and there is no rules...My capturing device works ok in other computers and the footage has been capture ok in other Mac...I don´t know what happens.
    Sebas, kind regards

    Hello!, first of all thanks for your reply. Yes, the camera is the same, the problem is on my computer, I have discovered a solution: first I capture the audio, only the audio, and then the video, only the video. After this I soncronize the two separate files on Final Cut timeline. It´s a slow process, but I am really desesperated. I don´t know what happens, I few minutes ago I have captured a 30 mins. video and the sample rate of the audio was 42.145k (???). It´s a crazy thing...

  • Why wont my footage log and capture?

    Why wont my footage log and Capture?
    I have my Canon XH A1 connected to my Mac OS X computer. I am using Final Cut Pro to download the footage onto my Mac. The capture settings are set to HDV capture but it wont download properly.
    The computer downloads the first 20 seconds of footage then stops. The tape in the camera continues to roll to the end and then gives me the 'End of tape' window- but nothing has been downloading past the initial 20 seconds.
    Usually when HD footage is downloaded Final Cut creates many little clips. (Unlike normal DV which creates one big file). For some reason this isn't happening after the first 20 seconds.
    Then, even though I have already created a named folder for the footage to be saved into, the computer asks me to save it as an untitled project somewhere else.
    What is going on?
    My download settings for HDV log and capture are:
    Sequence Present: Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 50i 48 kHz
    Capture Present: HDV
    Device Control Present: HDV FireWire Basic
    Playback Output Video: Digital Cinema Desktop Preview-Main
    Playback Output Audio: Default
    Edit to Tape/PTV Output Video: HDV (1440x1080) 50i
    Edit to Tape/PTV Output Audio: Default
    Help!

    Do you have an external firewire drive connected? Canon equipment is unreliable capturing via firewire to a firewire drive, or even when capturing to a non-firewire drive when there are other devices present on the firewire bus.

  • How can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

    We need the Request Restart ability when scheduling a single reoccurring job in Redwood. Most of our jobs are scheduled in CHAINs which offers the Final Status Handler on Step level, and the schedule is "paused" when a job in the CHAIN has failed ( the next instance does not populate until the OP MSG has been Replied to) , and once the OPERATOR message is replied to, the CHAIN can resume running again ( desired ) . But we need this same ability when scheduling a single job not in a CHAIN. In our testing, we set up a job with Request Restart chosen on the Error , Killed and Unknown selections on the Restart Behavior Tab. But we found when a job is scheduled say once a day at 8AM, and when it fails, an OPERATOR msg appears allowing a Restart choice ( desired), but the next day's schedule also populates ( undesired) and we do NOT want the schedule to continue on yet because we need a chance to fix the error before the next insance runs for business reasons. So how can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

    Hello Fran,
    You can wrap the job chain in a master job chain in the first step and set the final status handler there.
    You can also set the Restart Behavior to 'Stop Submit Frame', in that case you will have to resubmit the job once you are finished troubleshooting.

  • Error using pretrigger when capturing more than one channel

    I am having problems acquiring data with pretrigger samples when capturing more than one channel, using NI-PXI-6071E hardware and Labview's Analog Input VIs (Legacy NI-DAQ).
    My goal is to trigger on one signal, while capturing another. Unfortunately, I cannot use the PFI0 for external triggering, as our cables/hardware have already been built, so I must use an analog input channel as the trigger. I understand that to do so I must capture both channels, and the channel that I wish to trigger off of must be the first channel in the list.
    If I trigger and capture on the same channel (tried 1-4) then it
    works great, regardless of the number of pre-trigger samples set. If I
    capture more than one channel (passing the trigger channel first), with no pretrigger samples set, then triggering and capturing both work fine. However, if I do the same with the pretrigger sample > 0 I get the following error:
    Error -10621 occurred at AI Control. Possible reason(s):
    NI-DAQ LV: The specified trigger signal cannot be assigned to the trigger resource.  
    I don't se any such limitation explained in the user manual, and searching the forum, I have found a few other people that had the
    same
    problem
    but they did not have solutions. Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm sorry for double-posting this. I was trying to post it in the DAQ board and it kept ending up on the LabView board.

  • Sound but no video on tv monitor when capturing/viewing timeline

    Can someone please suggest a solution to my problem? It seems that my settings have all of a sudden changed and I can no longer view the video on my tv monitor when capturing or when playing the clips in my timeline. I've already checked to see that I'm using "firewire" settings.
    Any ideas what the settings should be?
    Thanks!

    I'm gonna jump in here as I'm in the same boat....
    I'm having trouble connecting my camera as a d to a converter for monitoring.
    Firewire out from computer to DV Camera / camera analog rca out to monitor. Camera shows input from lens on monitor. FCP is set to - video playback>firewire>ntsc. External video> all frames.
    What do I need to do to allow throughput from FCP - camera - monitor?
    Thanks for the tag-along....

  • Final Cut Express:  No audio when capturing from camcorder

    When capturing video from my "Sony TRV 18" digital camcorder and a Canon ZR500 digital camcorder
    into Final Cut Express 4.0.1 via fire wire to my scratch disk - a LaCie external hard drive -
    I get the video in my browser but it has no accompanying audio.
    When I move a captured clip from the browser to the viewer and time line, the video shows up, but (1) there is no accompanying audio shown in the audio time line, (2) no audio can be heard and (3) the audio meters show no action.
    My Easy Setup settings for audio match my camera audio settings.
    I've used different firewires between the camera and the scratch disk. Still the same.
    This has been a problem for about a month. Everything worked fine before. To make project deadlines, I have worked around this anomaly by capturing clips in IMovie 4 on my older Mac laptop than transferring the media clips to my Final Cut Express scratch disk. That works, but it is time consuming and requires rendering of all the audio.
    I use an IMac with OSX 10.6.5 with 266 GHz intel Core i5.
    Thank you in advance for any tips that could help.

    Hi Sid
    I get the video in my browser but it has no accompanying audio.
    YES - This is the way FinalCut Express AND Pro works !
    If You need the audio - Then You connect a small set of speakers to Your miniDV Camera
    (headphone out)
    alt. if no phono-out on Camera is to connect a small TV to the Camera analog way
    and here You can both see and hear during Capture
    (BTW - Connecting a small TV (or if §§§§§ is no problem a reference monitor
    §5-10,000 or even more) is a Very good way of keeping Quality control during
    editing process. Eg Transitions, audio levels, color fidelity etc. I do and the
    ref monitor are well compared to my final DVDs.)
    There are NO WAY that You can monitor audio during Capture in any FinalCut versions !
    Yours (been there and done that - or as said in Sweden "butted Your head at it") Bengt W

  • Random pausing When iphone connected to auxillary jack.  Please help!

    Hello to all.
    My iphone continually pauses when connected to the auxillary jack in my car and home stereo. It never does this when the ear buds are plugged into the jack on the phone. The auxillary cable I have is a typical cable. This one in particular came with a sirius satellite radio. Can anyone offer any advice?
    Thanks,
    Smoky

    I had the same problem with my Mercedes when I connected my ipod to it. Turns out it had nothing to do with the ipod but the gps/radio antenna on the car. Once I took the car in and they adjusted that the problem was resolved.
