Have to get footage to Avid Liquid shop (after PAL conversion)

Cheers all.
I apologize in advance for the following Faulknerian rambling. I'm not sure how much info you guys will need to provide assistance.
I am tasked with getting raw and uncompressed video to a European shop running Liquid. Our crew shot all the footage @ 24pA with the expectation of eventually converting the footage for PAL. At the time, our client viewed his primary audience as North American. Now he'd like for his European guys to have access to all the footage. The shop in question can't take MiniDV tapes for editing. They want DVcam or DigiBeta. We'd really rather not spend the additional time writing things back to tape. Also the DVcam tapes only record 40mins. We thought an elegant solution would be to give them raw digital files on a FW drive, but they can't/won't edit in NTSC.
We've established a pretty slick workflow where we bring in the 24pA footage and removing the pulldown to get the 24fps rate we wanted. Then we conform that file to 25fps (PAL's rate) and drop the resulting DV file into a PAL sequence. That sequence gets exported (again as an uncompressed DV Quicktime file).
I sent the other shop a CD with 3 minutes of resulting footage. While I haven't been able to talk to a tech guy there (embarrassing to be so language-limited)the project manager for the shop says they can bring the QT file into combustion, but haven't been able to get it into Liquid.
I'm hoping someone here will have an idea what Liquid wants, that is to say, what can Liquid use? We don't want to convert to AVI as that will introduce compression to the equation. (I have heard that mpegtostreamclip could do this too. Still hoping to avoid the extra step.)
Thanks in advance.

MiniDV and DVCAM are the same thing. Exactly the same format. I don't understand why they can't take miniDV but can take DVCAM. Makes no sense.

    Sounds like the Activation Lock is still set to the previous owner. If you are unable to get that Apple ID and password that iPhone is totally useless to you.
    Take it back to the shop and demand your money back because they sold it to under false pretenses.

  • Avid liquid video Card on adobe premiere

    in my company we have two sk7299 video capture cards for avid liquid, and we want to know if there is some way to use them to capture in adobe premiere cs5??

    PPro will only work with special cards when the card vendor writes a device driver to act as a bridge between the card and PPro... for CS5, that device driver must also be 64bit
    Back when I started, with Premiere 6x and a Pinnacle Dv500 digitizing card, I had to install the card in the computer, then Premiere 6x... and last the Pinnacle device driver to "bridge" Premiere to the hardware
    This did not work with any version of Premiere Pro, since Pinnacle did not write new drivers for the new PPro versions
    Has the vendor of your card issued a 64bit device driver for PPro CS5?

  • I have 8mm family footage now on a DVD how can I import this material into imovie

    Can anyone help I have old 8mm footage of the family which is now on a DVD how can I import this onto imovie?

    You need to convert the DVD .VOB files. This can be done with Apps like Handbrake or I prefer MPEG Steamclip.
    Basically what you do is insert the DVD into the drive. If DVD Player opens, quit the player. Then double click the DVD on the desktop. There you will find a folder called Video_TS. The .VOB files are there. You do not need the Audio_TS files or Folder.  So what ever App you use, point them to that Folder and convert them to highest quality conversion.
    One thing to point out though about MPEG Streamclip, you need to have Quicktime 7 installed and additionally you need a file called QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. Make sure you read about it at the Squared 5 website under "Requirements". It may sound like alot of work, but once you set it up MPEG Streamclips works nice.
    Hope that gets you started.
    Additionally, if you have another machine around with Leopard or earlier, you may already have the MPEG-2 Playback Component. It would be located in /Library/Quicktime folder.

  • How could i get footage from camera to FCP with no firewire

    I have a Imac late 2009 21.5 with a broken fire wire. How can i get footage from Canon XM 1(tape only) to FCP I have a PC that has firewire that works have loaded footage to Movie Maker and put it on a USB flash Drive put that into mac but cant convert it with MPEG clip stream as planed. Any thoughts? I thought second hand mac mini may do the job. Repair firewire £653.14

    Without firewire, you cannot capture from that camera in FCP.  It only works via firewire.  So you need another computer or fix that firewire.
    Your other method...seems ugly.  Ads layers of compression that might make it look ugly. 
    Borrow a friends machine with FCP if you can.

  • Pinnacle Avid Liquid 7.2 Pro vs FCE4

    Pinnacle Avid Liquid 7.2 Pro & Final Cut Express 4 which one is better?
    thanks

    Hello,
    I've been using Liquid 7.2 for about four years now, and I like it a lot. I'm just going to start with FCE on Christmas Day , well probably Boxing Day when I have my new Imac set up and FCE installed. I bought FCE mainly for HDV work as my PC needs upgrading and I haven't decided which way(editors) to go yet. The thing you need to know about Liquid is that it has reached the end of its development. There have been rumours circulating for at least two years now that it is being re developed, but there has never been any official word from Avid or Pinnacle. This is one of the reasons I am switching for the time being.
    As for the program itself, it is very user friendly, extremely stable and is an all in one application in that it will author DVD's as well. It will handle a lot of different codecs, and it has a great community forum, some members of which are developing or have developed codecs which equate to Apple Intermediate.
    I myself am looking forward to working with FCE and seeing how different it is to Liquid.
    It is said by many that Liquid is one if not the best value for money editors available and I would concur that it is excellent value for money.
    Btw I'm not plugging Liquid on an Apple forum, just answering the question and giving an opinion.
    Hope this helps.

  • FCP to Avid Liquid

    I know you can use automatic duck to convert an FCP file to AVID Xpro or media composer. Is there a way to bring a project to AVID liquid or Premiere? Can you use XML for this? Or if I created cinema tools database files for the media, and generated ALE's, would that work? It is HDCam material captured directly to a drive in DV resolution.
    And what exactly is XML for anyway? I know you can use it to transport projects and bins in between FCP systems, but you could just use a project file for that.... why use XML?

    XML is for getting out of FCP to other places, outside of FCP.
    Can you send me your FCP project file (zip it before sending), I'd be curious if it could be imported into Liquid.
    Pro Import PPro can import an XML 1.0 file from FCP into Premiere Pro.

    lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
    does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
    if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

  • I have been getting a popup every time I open safari. It will not allow me to use safari. It gives me a phone number to call to fix the problem. In the meantime I can't use safari.

    I Have been getting a pop up when I open safari telling me there is a threat of a hacking attack
    on my browser. It asks me to go to a website http//pctechief.com for a fix. I am afraid to reply to
    this website.

    There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
