Gy 101 HDV 25p capture problem.

Hi Guys
Since the FCP upgrade we have been capturing with the GY 101 in HDV 25p, but we have found a capturing issue.....
If we try to "capture now" and capture the tape, the DV start stop detect splits it up into a number of clips. The first clip time codes ends on something like 00:00:10:00 but the second clip does not start till 00:00:16:00. We keep loosing 6ish seconds on all clips.
Switching start stop detect off does not work, the start stop detect still operates, and setting in and out points and capturing does not work... the start stop detect continues to work still.... Arrrgh!
This problem is on two G5 towers and a MacBookPro.
Any ideas how to capture our tapes fully? Or anyone else having this problem?

This may not help much, but I too have had the same problem with my hd-gy100u at 720 30p. From what I'm reading FCP is reading the shot marker that the camera is putting on tape at the beginning of every shot. Simply shuting off the new clip at break feature doesn't help.
What I have had to do is go back in and redigitize my video while watching it. When I notice it stop digitizing I stop the process, note the time code, rewind the tape about 8 seconds, then push play. When my time code hits the first frame of the beginning of the shot I hit NOW. FCP seems to start digitizing immediately so I don't loose that first 5 or 6 seconds of every shot that I would if I had just let it roll on it's own.
It's not the best "fix" but I have been able to save alot of my shots that way untill a true fix comes out.

Quicktime 7.4 solved my HDV 720p24 capture problem

Ok so I know there are problems with quicktime 7.4 and after effects in leopard, but since I'm not using any after effects or leopard on my project I took the plunge. A little back info: finished movie in FCP 6.0.2 dual 2.0 G5 5gb ram Decklink HD 3Tb x-raid os 10.4.11 ,print to tape HDV 720p24 recording onto a JVC BR HD50 deck, attempted recapture immediately after print to tape was done and would get time-code break on recapture.( Pulled out lots of hair, read lots of similar threads of others also going suddenly bald) I read post after post about this but no answers on 7.4 so here is mine. After updating to quicktime 7.4 print to tape and recapture worked perfect for my 89 min movie. _*If you don't use after effects*_ it seems to be safe to upgrade to 7.4 to solve some HDV capture issues with the JVC HDV deck.

Then, the Debreaker that comes with the latest iSquint will definitely fix your problem. iSquint and several other applications were creating invalid .mp4 files when specifically converting from .flv's. The author has discovered this and released the latest version that patches his app so that it now creates standard .mp4's AND has released the Debreaker app that will fix the files created by HIS app, and by other apps suffering from the same problem.
(The reason why they work in older QuickTime is because that version wasn't properly checking for valid file information. The latest version does)

Capture Problems - HDV & DV

I shot some 1080/30f HDV footage on my Canon XHA1. I decided to import as down converted DV for easier editing. I captured with the "capture now" option and then used the "dv start/stop" detection tool.
1. Problem is that the markers are about 3-4 frames before the scene actually changed. I turned off the down convert feature and captured as native HDV, and everything worked fine. I don't know if final cut just doesn't like 30F anamorphic dv footage or what.
2. Also, why when importing as HDV do I get multiple independent clips for each scene, but in DV downconvert, I get 1 giant clip and have to use the DV Start/stop tool?
Just so you know, i captured via FW400 to an external Lacie 7200rpm drive. I am on FCP 5.1.4 on a Macbook Pro with OS 10.4.10.

1. *Problem is that the markers...*
I not sure what you mean by markers. Down converting the Canon f mode HDV to DV should produce basic DV and perhaps the time code could be shifting. Canon has a unique way of creating a Cine look.
You should call Canon.
2. *Also, why when importing as HDV do I get multiple independent clips....*
Final Cut has a unique HDV *Log & Capture window* and you can control this in the *Clip Settings* tab *by un-checking the Make new clips on Start/Stop.*
Good Luck

ZIU timecode/capture problems

This is issue we've been struggling with for a couple months now, originally thinking that it was an FCP version problem. Now we have been running FCP 5.1.2, Tiger, and QT all at their latest versions still no improvment.
The problem is we shoot a tape with our SONY HDV-Z1U and log the clips in FCP. When we go to batch capture many of about 25% of all these clips have capture problems. Final Cut detects timecode breaks and captures 2,3,4, sometimes 15 versions of these labeling them clip, clip-1, clip-2, etc....
You can actually see these wierd glitches and jumps on the camera LCD and on the FCP capture window. Sometimes the camera will rewind itself over and over trying to find the proper IN on the tape.
It seems like someone out there has had to run across this issue because this is such a common camera and such a common task. I'm almost worried that it's a camera problem and I don't even know where I would go to ask about something like that. I have not been albe to find any documentation that this model camera has TC problems.
Please, help or point me in the right direction it must just add a couple years to my life!!!
Thanks.

I have a ZU1 and I occasionally encounter this problem, but it's usually one clip out of say 25 or 30 on a given tape. I'm never sure what causes the problem and if I simply skip the problem clip I can sometimes go back and digitize just that one last clip.
I do know the ZU1 seems to need plenty of pre-roll in the front of the tape, but I'm assuming that's not the problem. You're using new, high quality tape, correct? Have you tried a simple head cleaning on the ZU1.

HDV 25p Final Cut Workflow Question

Hello,
After reading a lot of material I'm trying to come to some conclusion about which workflow to use, to balance between: the lower spec system I've got, getting fine graphic elements, being able to take the project through Color, and to end with an HD(V) master project file.
It would be great if others with experience with these issues could comment on the workflow I'm proposing.
I'm running an iMac with the latest Final Cut Studio programs and one 500GB firewire drive for video and render files.
Workflow:
1 - Camera aquisition is with Canon's HV20 - HDV 25p
2 - Capture over firewire to a 25p HDV sequence
3 - Edit in HDV (with the Render Codec as ProRes 422 - in User Preferences)
4 - Add any Motion files, Titles, LiveType or whatever else needs to go in the timeline
5 - When complete, duplicate the sequence and change the settings in the new sequence to ProRes 422
6 - Render Timeline as full ProRes 422
7 - Export to Color, render Color files out and place in a new ProRes 422 timeline
8 - Export self-contained Quicktime with current settings as the Master
Comments please. I'm no expert, but I'm trying to settle on a decent workflow.
If I'm right, this should make one conversion from HDV to ProRes 422 before going through Color (while also taking advantage of ProRes for the rendering of all the Motion graphics and Title clips). Then one further render coming out of Color.
It seems pretty clean and not to extanious for my system, although I'm still working on the theory.
Any workflow experts, please advise!
Thanks,
Matt

No one?
The main part I'm wondering about is:
HDV timeline, but render settings to ProRes and then moving the whole thing to render out as a ProRes file (possibly going through Color at that point - and if so, coming back to a ProRes timeline and doing a self-contained Quicktime export).
I basically said it all in the first post. If someone's tried it, or has a better work flow for HDV it would be great to hear.

Capturing Problem with Sony TRV330

Capturing problem with Sony digital8 trv330.
I recently purchased the above camcorder from eBay for capturing old 8mm/Hi8 tapes for editing purpose. The camcorder set to A/V -> DV OUT connected with Firewire to my Power G4 and the Easy Setup was DV-NTSC. The playback on the capture window looks OK except there were no timecode in the Timecode Duration Field and the Current Timecode Field (both shown 00:00:00:00) during playback but there was timedoce in the camcorder viewfinder. When I click the Capture Now button, the capturing window show up with message “waiting for timecode ….”. I have to click “esc” to stop the capturing operation. I trash the Preferences and Ran the Disk Utility without success. I also tried the Easy Setup with DV-NTSC DV Converter as well as DV-NTSC 32Khz, nothing work.
My set up is: Mac Power G4 version 10.5.5/ F.C.E. 4.0.1/ QT7.5.5/ Startup 160 GB-89 GB available/ Scratch 350GB-277GB available. Folks, I need help. Thanks everybody.

Hi, I have a similar problem. I am trying to digitize my 8mm tapes (via firewire) using final cut express (4.0.1). Using easy setup I use DV-NTSC DV Converter and do capture now. I transfer the entire tape but notice the audio is out of synch with the video. This problem gets worse throughout the transfer process. When I use the esc to complete the transfer I get the error " The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape....." So after searching around it is recommended I change the audio sample rate to 32 kHz option. However, when I do this using easy setup and picking DV-NTSC 32kHz I cannot use capture now because I have no timecode and so the window comes up with the message "waiting for timecode". Since there is no timecode this option does not work. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan

Audio Capture problem in Mac OS X 10.7.5 in Mac mini(in Silverlight)

I got a mac mini and upgrade Mac OS X 10.6.x --> 10.7.5.
However do not hearing the audio in Webpage using Silverlight.(10.6. version doing well)
So, I found the solve this problem, that is a audio capture problem.( My device does not supported Stereo audio data).
this is the source in audio capture using Silverlight code.
CaptureSource source = new CaptureSource()
                        AudioCaptureDevice = CaptureDeviceConfiguration.GetDefaultAudioCaptureDevice()
                    try
                        foreach (AudioFormat af in source.AudioCaptureDevice.SupportedFormats)
                            if (af.Channels == 1 && af.BitsPerSample == 16 && af.SamplesPerSecond == 8000)
                                source.AudioCaptureDevice.DesiredFormat = af;
                                break;
af.Channels is always af.Channel == 2(Stereo)
--- the question is
How can I caputure audio channel mono?
If couldn`t, how can I transfered audio capture data stereo to mono?
Please answer the question as soon as possible ^^

Capture Problems with Vista

While this problem is not specific to PE4, I am hoping someone will be able to help me.
I recently purchaed a Dell XPS desktop for video editing. I am unable to capture from my SONY HDRHC7 camcorder. The new computer runs on Vista Home Premium; my old computer (never had any capture problems before) runs on XP. According to Dell, Adobe, and SONY websites, there are no additional drivers that I need to capture video.
Has anyone had similar problems? And, if so do you have any advice? Thank you.

Hi Butch,
Here is your solution from the Read Me:
Windows Vista Compatibility
Windows Vista is a brand new operating system from Microsoft and has not been available in its final form long enough for Adobe to fully certify Lightroom for use on Vista. Adobe is working hard to finalize support or Vista as quickly as possible and will deliver appropriate software updates over the launch period. Lightroom 1.0 will install and run on Windows Vista but Adobe cannot guarantee the quality of the software experience until final testing is completed. Known issues for using Lightroom 1.0 on the Vista operating system are listed below:
Lightroom CD and DVD burning tools will not currently function
Importing files directly from a Camera or Card Reader may not function properly. Please
copy files to a local hard drive via the operating system before importing the files into
Lightroom
This may not be the answer you wanted but until the next release.........

Cannon GL2 - FCE 2 and iMovie Capture Problems

Hello Hello
I've read here that folks are having a tough time capturing with thier Cannon GL2. The device goes from NO problem to 'Can't intiate a capture because the device looses connectivity.
I tried to find a common denominator to this problem, and it seems this post regarding Quick Time Files can help? Yes?
Is this the main problem?
Anyway I'm also having connectivity issues with both iMovie 6 HD, and FCE 2
Just wondering if I should also follow the directions on this post and have my capture problems solved?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852
BTW - I currently have Quicktime 7.0.4
Thanx

Hi Tom - Thanx for your reply!
Well, yes I have (as my profile indicates), a G5 1.8 Gig, currently with an external Lacie HD plugged in. I also have a Cannon GL2.
But before I go any further, and before I try those directions for cleansing certain Quick Time 7 Library Files, I think I figured out the dilemma.
This problem of GL2 recognition (from what I've read), is common for folks who have similar equipment, and a similar set-up as mine:
It seems (as I've also read here), that my G5 does NOT like 2 devices which require the same connection speed plugged into the 1394 Firewire Port at the same time - trying to share the same bus.
I confirmed this by disconnecting the Lacie FIRST - then booting back up - and WALLAH - the GL2 was certainly receoginzed both in iMovie 6 HD, and FCE 2!
I also further resolved the issue by buying a 'cheaper' Cannon Camcorder - the ZR500.
Now I can actually share the Lacie HD in the Fire Wire Port with this slower connection speed camcorder. And a further benefit is giving my GL2 a rest when it comes to 'capture only'
Does all this make sense?
If so, perhaps I've already discovered stuff that other folks already know ...
Thanx
Mike

Premiere Pro CS5.5 Batch Capture Problems

Hi,
I'm sorry for the repost, but the older questions I can find on this topic won't allow me to reply and they were never answered (last post several months ago).
I'm having the batch capture problem with Premiere Pro CS5.5. Capture with device control works great when single capturing. When I log clips and attempt to batch capture, though, I get the "capture failed: device not found" error in my capture log. I have checked through the FAQ and the complete premiere manual on batch capturing. I've set my device (still using a Canon XL1) and even checked the video size...it matches that of my project (someone on another forum mentioned that this could be an issue). I have had no luck.
Could anyone tell me if this issue has been resolved, or redirect me to a resolution?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Steve

I have encountered this problem if the current tape position is beyond the last recorded point when you start the batch capture or if any "OUT" points are beyond the last recorded position or if the capture spans any unrecorded portions of the tape. I always thought it was my camera but maybe it is a PPro issue.

Premiere Pro 1.5.1 HDV VIDEO CAPTURE - Canon HV20

Hi,
For the life of me I cannot get my camera to capture in HDV. I can switch over to DV and it will capture everything just fine. The settings I recorded in are HDV standard, Widescreen 29fps. Not the 24. But it just tells me the device is ofline no matter what I try. I grabbed a stand alone CineForm HDLink and that doesn't detect it either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The Client wants HD, not DV.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, I spoke to soon. I kept searching and searching. Finally found this..
http://www.hv20.com/showthread.php?t=12131
My camera was locked in DV mode. So I had to switch it to HDV/DV
"b) As many have said you need to be sure that the camera is set ot output in HDV, and not DV locked. Because I am a bit of a dunce I found it difficult to locate that, even with the manual so here are some foolproof instructions on how to get there:
in "Play" Mode > FUNC > MENU > PLAY/OUT SETUP2 > DV OUTPUT [set this to HDV/DV]"
That did it.

Recording HDV 25p, CS4 AME to Flash question?

Hi,
I am recording HDV 25p, CS4 AME to Flash. It will be a two minute talking head thing with three questions.
It will be presented on a website.
How do I get to 'mark' the beginning of the three questions so the viewer can jump to these questions in the two minute sequence?
Do I mark them in the timeline somehow?
Can anyone point to a tutorial?
Thanks in advance
scott

On your Z7, have you set the Date Rec option in the Others menu to ON? The default is OFF. That is how I do it on my Z5 which is very similar to the Z7.
EDIT: Ooops. Sorry. I see you are looking for time code, not time and date stamp.
