Funny looking RGB noise in my captured footage...
It happen to be funny looking RGB noise appearing on the right side
(especially black area) of my footage when i directly file in the mov file
from my capture scratch into shake.
I really have no idea at all how and why it happen like this...
So any ideas and solutions are welcome...
Thanks.
Footage captured in apple uncompressed 10 bit
And I'm using FCP 5.1.4 with Shake 4.1
Could we get a better description of the "noise", or better yet, a screenshot of the issue?

Pixel noise on captured footage
I got some pixel "noise" on my captured footage. Any ideas where the problem could be. I used brand new tapes (camcorder sony Z1-U) so it is hardly a tape problem. Can there be differences in firewire cables, better quality ones? Maybe a port problem on hard drive?

Capturing footage from Canon XH A1
Hi All -
I'm a bit new to Final Cut Express but ran across the following problem:
When I try to capture footage from my Canon XH A1 HD video camera, FCE does not recognize that there's any connection or that the camera is plugged into my MacBook Pro via the firewire cable. When I plug in my Sony VX2100 it does recognize this camera and I'm able to capture footage when I use that camera, but no luck with the Canon.
Funny thing is, when I try to capture footage from my Canon using iMovie it recognizes the camera and captures the footage with no problem.
Any idea why FCE is not recognizing this camera when iMovie does? Is there a setting on FCE that needs to be changed?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!Are you using the correct Easy Setup?
Normally it should be HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50 (or i60 if you are using NTSC).
I believe your Canon is an HDV camera whilst your Sony shoots DV.
They both need different Easy Setups. iMovie deals with this automatically. -
Hello everyone. I'm looking for a positive solution to the problem that some folks experiencing as well. This problem applies to the capturing footage that has been taped at 60FPS. I contacted several forums regardings this issue as well as Apple Tech Support unfortunately no luck. May be you have an answer to this mass. Thanks to all.
I did take two snap shots so you can take a look and see what I get once I try to indicate correct settings.

Just up-graded from FCP6 to FCP7 and upgared operating system from 10:4 to 10:6 and uploaded latest version.
I've been working on an HD project in FCP6 and loaded clips with NO problems.
However, FCP7 crashes every time I've tried to capture new footage from camera. Tried to capture footage previously captured from camera in FCP and crashes again.
However, footage seems to capture in iMovie but unable to transfer to FCP.Take a look at this especially deleting the user preferences.

Capturing Footage that has been shot in Long Play?
Good Morning All,
I have been giving a tape that has been shot in Pal Long Play and I can not log and capture this DV Tape at all. Everytime I do try the footage is just useless.
This may sound like a silly question but :
Does anyone know the settings that I would put on FCP 6 to log and capture footage that has been shot in Pal Long play?
Any help would by highly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
KevinLP mode slows the tape to extend the recording time. If the camera/playback device does not have this mode, the material will play back either as noise or accelerated. In either case the images will be unusable.
You need a camera that understands PAL DV tapes recorded in LP mode. Your best bet may be the original cam.
Once you have the original cam/ or one that records/plays LP DV tapes, dub the material to a standard play DV then capture the SP DV tape. LP tapes are notorious for audio and video drifting apart. The audio will almost certainly be recorded as 12 bit/32 khz.

External Monitor RGB Noise Flickering with MacBook Pro
Hi folks,
I recently bought a MacBook Pro and plugged into it an HDMI converter to DVI, so I can plug into the MBP the LCD Apple Cinema Display of 22" and have 2 monitors working or, just one while using the hardware of the MBP.
The MBP has 8 GB of RAM of 1333 MHz and an additional ATI video card of 1 GB.
So, when working with the Apple Cinema Display plugged into the MBP, some kind of fast graphic anomaly occurs, which looks like an RGB noise. And that happens in a blink, each about 5 to 10 minutes and only in the Apple Cinema Display.
I'm wondering why happens this, because I need the big screen to work. Also, the MBP costs me a lot of money (US $4000 because I live in Argentina) and we don't have here the easiness to go and buy another or change the product because of a "just in case" thing due many other implications from the actual government.
So please, let me know why this happens and if it's dangerous. I don't wish my hardware get broke because I use it to work an there are no replacements here.
Thanks,
Ø3I ended up buying the HDMI cable and adapter for the mac and the screen quality is GREAT! It auto sets itself to 1080p. Don't use VGA. Get the HDMI cable and adapter.
Again, the horizontal lines are from me taking a picture of my monitor from my iphone.
I hope this solves your problem. -
Hi.
I am using Premiere Pro CS5.5, capturing footage off a mini-DV casette (NOT HD) using a Sony DSR-11. All is well with that, except for that the output is an .avi rather than MP4 (H264). I am under the impression that H264 with the extension of .MP4, is better than avi.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the format of that outputted footage?
thanks:)thanks Ann, Jim. I was afraid u'd say avi is the only option w/capturing, but am happy to hear it is the best option. Thanks again, and to the others who replied (and i will look at the "best export format/codec" page:)

I captured canon hv20 by firewire to my computer with adobe premiere elements 11. After capture, I have cutted clip three times. Then I want to export my computer because of I watch on my 46 inches full hd lcd television. If I want to keep the quality of the original captured footage (from the tapes), what format should I? I choosen mpeg 1440x1080i 24, it alerts error. Or i chosee avchd 1920x1080p, then it is too larger than captured scenes. I think it is 20000MB but captured scened (without cut) only 11.2 gb. Please help me. Thanks very much.

File size and Bitrate and Quality are interrelated. From what I have read, the bitrate for your HDV footage from the PAL Canon HV20 camcorder should be about 25 Mbps (megabits per second). If you did a HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements, you should MPEG2.mpg file on the Timeline.
When you did your export
Publish+Share
Computer
MPEG
using Presets = MPEG2 1440 x 1080i25, did you make any changes in the settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the preset?
When you look at the settings in the Export Settings dialog for the MPEG 1440 x 1080i25 preset, you will see the default bitrate settings
Minimum = 18 Mbps
Target = 25 Mbps
Maximum = 30 Mbps
The program's export bitrate may be higher than that of your source media, resulting in the increased file size. You can check out the bitrate, using the properties readout from a free program such a MediaInfo
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
You could experiment with different bitrate, trying to maintain the quality as you decrease the maximum bitrate from 30 Mbps downward to reduce the file size.
The file extension of your export should be .m2t, .mpg. So, your export is MPEG2.m2t. I find that that type of file will playback in Windows Media Player, but not QuickTime (latest version). This particular export would be the closest to the source media properties.
But, right now I would try to perfect the MPEG2 1440 x 1080i25, experimenting with the bitrate to bring the file size into line with the source file and still maintain video quality. The AVCHD.mp4 suggested by Ann Bens is a prime candidate quality wise. If size becomes a factor, you might want to explore a 1920 x 1080i25 or 1440 x 1080i25 Windows Media Video 9.wmv file which we can discuss in more detail depending on how things are going.
Please review the above and then let us know how we can help.
Thanks.

Working with Screen Capture Footage in FCP
I purchased Snapz Pro X to record screen capture footage for a project I am doing. After recording the .mov files I imported them into FCP and edited together a sequence along with music and titling. Unfortunately in the output video the footage looks compressed and fuzzy. I have the project resolution set to an HD setting, but I'm still getting a fuzzy looking screen shot.
What is the proper way to import screen captures into FCP and how do I export them without loosing resolution.
Thank you ahead of time to everyone who has any input?Hi -
When you saved your SnapZ Pro X movies, a window comes up allowing you to choose the video codec to use when saving the file. What settings did you use?
Also, have you rendered the timeline?

Why is there a strange diagonal "noise" appearing on my footage ?
hi
i've made a rough cut of a piece i am working on and discovered a strange diagonal noise effect on the footage. its very faint but noticable. it appears mostly on "flat" or "even" areas like sky or waters.
here are the details of the project-
shot on DV with panasonic DVX100 at 25 P 4:3 (i use pal system)
captured with sony DSR-11 set to DV PAL (default)
edited in a DV PAL sequence (default - 25 lower field).
streatched to 16X9 (nested on a 16X9 sequence and changed aspect ration to 1). turned into black and white using a monochrome filter (cant remember the name...)
exported with compressor CBR 7.4 bits, Proggressive, anamorphic, motion-best. Automatic.
built on DVD SP 3, 16X9
burned on toast 7.
is there something wrong with my workflow ?
can you think of a reason for those strange faint diagonals pulsing ? any suggestion ? maybe its my Tv (although i've never experience that before)?
i appriciate your replies and enjoy learing from you fellas...
thanx
nir evron
G5 dual 2.3 hitachi 500G HD, lacie 250G FW HD Mac OS X (10.4.2) fcp 5, dvdsp 3My guess is that the noise showing up in the stretching and then is magnified in the monochrome step.
To check if my hunch is right, take your original 4:3 footage and run it through the Monochrome filter and then export a 10 second bit of the most offensive noise. If it doesn't go away there, then it is porbably the Filter that is creating the noise. Try a different method of making it black and white.
If it does go away, then the problem was brought in by the Stretching. To fix it, rather than stretching your footage, crop it instead. Either use a 16:9 Matt in your 4:3 space, or pull the 4:3 into the 16:9 and just enlarge it until it fits your space (you will loose a little off the top and bottom).
Hope that helps!

my fresh captured footage is already not sharp looking at it with quicktime, and I have done nothing to it!!
I have been talking with apple and all settings are ok, Got the latest software updates...and still have this problem. After 8 years of editing on an older MAC I sure was not ready for this, can anyone shed some light on this?my quicktime does look better, but I still have inferior footage seemingly at every stage.
Let me explain. I actually have a few clips I imported from FCP, and a few clips I brought in directly from an older program (2mv files) WHen I look at a preview of the DVD, it is very visible that the "new" clips are far inferior.
I followed the course of Larry, who recommends to export using quicktime...but what I noticed when he showed how to do it, his clip renders in DVDstudio pro, where my new clips remain orange ( a dot) as opposed to green...so I am thinking something has got to be wrong here...
a note the capture quicktime file does seem of normal size for raw dv capture...
If I would not have a customer on my back, I would have time to sort it out...but the clock is ticking....AUCH!!! thanks for answering guys, it is MOST appreciated

I captured footage on a DV NTSC ZR30 MC Camcorder in 12 bit rate. Captured footage through firewire using 32 kHz capture rate (equivalent to 12 bit). The captured image is distorted (the digital lines constructing the image are out of sync).
When I first captured the footage and edited it there was no issues. after I rendered, the footage was distorted and after exporting it remained this way. After that the same footage re-captured appears distorted as well.
Thank you for your time,
HazelFootage from a DVD is already somewhat compressed (MPEG-2), and if you are capturing via S-video, you are playing it out as analog, and then converting it back to DV in FCP (that is, if your capture settings/easy setup is for DV).
What are your capture settings? Did you choose an easy setup before opening a project and capturing? If you do that, the video may look better, but capturing from a DVD never produces great results.
A better way would be to download MPEG StreamClip; this allows you to convert the DVD content (I'm assuming this is not a copyrighted disc) to the DV format that FCP can work with. It still sacrifices some quality, but it's better than trying to capture from the DVD player.

I'm writing to find out if you know what to do if, when capturing footage from tapes from the Panasonic AG DVX 100B into Final Cut, the video part is sped up and the audio stays normal, leaving a long black section (with audio, but no video, because the video was so fast it is over) at the end of the clip. I've tried capturing from both my camera and a deck, and for the past of week I've been getting the same frustrating result. It must be a setting somewhere, but I can't seem to figure it out. Have you ever experienced this?
Warm regards,
JessWhat is the speed change factor?
If you apply a speed change to it, can you get it look normal?
Open the clip and tell us what the properties are.

Deleted captured footage so i think can no longer edit my movies
Hi, so i deleted the captured video files because they take up a heck of a lot of space. Now, if i go back into final cut, none of the clips on the time line can work because the original files were deleted. I need to do stuff like put a title and credits, and adjust the music. Will i be able to do that since i deleted those original captured files, or am i stuck with the version i burned before deleting the captured footage?
ok so i went into the project with all the files offline, i connected the camera with the right tape, i went to capture, clicked Project when it was all ready and i hit continue, the tape just kept rewinding, little by little to the beginning (the stuff i need is in the middle, and i had it at about the right place). Im looking at the exact stuff i need on my cam, but its just not doing it.... at one point i got it to capture one section of the right stuff, but it just created a new captured clip, i dont know how to reconnect it to the stuff in the timeline... i went to a clip that used part of that, and clicked reconnect media, but when i looked it up and chose it, it wouldnt work
