HDV 720p60 VS HDV 720p30??

This one should be easy but I have forgotten what all of those numbers mean. I noticed that when I try to use media manager to recompress a project using HDV 720p60 the project size ends up being half the size of the project if I were to use HDV 720p30. I always thought that these two aren't that different from each other after all. Can someone please explain why such difference between the two file sizes?
I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I can setup for 720p30, Are you sure this isn't right for you. Are you sure you shoot 60 frames of HDV. Please give more details including versions of OS,FC, QT and computer, and camera/decks involved.

  • HDV 720p60 Native Editing

    Hi,
    I would like to capture and edit HDV @ 720p60 natively, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in Final Cut Pro. Even if I set the project up to use the Apple Intermediary Codec, I still have to render all of my clips before I can use them. Ideally I would like to retain the timecode, but if I have to use the intermediary codec, can someone point out how I might be able to edit @60 fps with it?
    Thanks so much.

  • HDV 720p60

    I have been asked to edit using the sequence HDV 720p60, but that sequence setting is not available in FCP. (I'm working in Studio2 by the way.) Is there another sequence setting they're really referring to?

    What version? I see it right there in the easy setups...FCP 6.0.4.

  • FCP support of HDV 720p60?

    I recently acquired a JVC GY-HD250 HDV camcorder. So far so good, except for one thing. The HD 250 shoots HDV 720p60 but FCP 5.1.2 does not offer capture support for HDV 720p60. Does anyone out there know if an FCP patch or upgrade is in the works from Apple to provide capture support for native HDV 720p60 video?
    If that answer is "no," is there a good, FCP compatible third-party application that will support capture of native HDV 720p60?
    Thank you.

    jvc and final cut pro do not get along. you're going to have to use (buy) hdvxdv and use it to import from your jvc deck.

  • Importing HDV 1080i60 as HDV 720p30

    I have a sony HDR FX1 and I want to import the HDV 1080i60 footage I took into FCP as HDV 720p30. What is the easiest way to do this?

    You can't do this without a capture card. But, if you had a card, then it would be best to capture as DVCPRO HD 720p.
    You cannot cross convert via firewire.

  • Capture no longer working on HDV camera with HDV setting - only with NTSC.

    I have a Canon HV10 HDV camcorder. It was working fine with HDV 1080i60 settings in Easy Setup last week. Now FCP wont see this camera with these settings or HDV 1080i60 Firewire Basic. It will only see it with standard NTSC DV set.
    I have been doing some captures with my Sony TRV-900 DV camera since the HV10 was last used. Did this somehow mess something up? I have tried switching it a few times in Easy Setup and it only works with DV NTSC. Anyone with any ideas?
    Thank you!

    My bad. I accidentally switched the output of my camera to DV instead of HDV sometime last week and forgot. It works now.

  • What are the best settings for inporting and exporting PE 12?   I use a Canon HDV VIXIA HV40 - HDV 1080i . Viewing the videos on this Canon are in HD quality but no HD quality wiyh Adobe PE12.[I have WINDOWS 8.1]

    I have tried all the different settings, but my videos do not have HD quality, why?
    P.S. - Videos turn out better (but not HD quality) with PE 12 when I do not use RENDER .
    When I watch the video on my camera they have HD quality.
    My system -
    Windows 8.1
    Processor -       Intel(R) Core(TM)  i7-477OK  CPU @ 3.50 GHz  3.50 GHz
    Ram -               800GB
    System type -   64-bit operating system,x64 - based processor.

    To capture HDV video, you should connect the camcorder to your computer via FireWire cable and then use Premiere Elements' Add Media/From Flip or Cameras to get the video from the camcorder to your computer.
    If you've done this, the video should load into the program at full hi-def quality and your should have a smooth editing experience.
    Is this the process you used to capture and load your video?

  • Basic questions for a self-taught re: HDV for SD HDV (yes again)

    ok - like many others posting on this topic, I am apologising for going over what seems to be one of the most covered topics out there, that still isn't clear!
    I am trying to teach myself DVD SP4 in the same way I did with FCP5 (trial, error and lots of forum searching). I am by no means a pro on FCP - but have certainly got enough understanding of it to have cobbled together 7 23 minutes episodes to broadcast! I have gone thought the DVD SP4 Manual and forums and lots of it just makes my brain ache - what mostly lets down my understanding are formats/compression/codecs.
    So - my main questions (for now....)
    -In DVD SP I couldn't import my QT movie into my assets list as it was an "incompatible format" - is this because it was HDV to a SD DVD Project? Doesn't the process of DVD SP encoding it as Mpeg 2 make is SD anyway?
    -I read a post from someone in a similar situation, who advised exporting a HDV sequence as Uncompressed 8 Bit, and bringing that to DVD SP. So am doing that now (6 hours or so for a 23" sequence) and am hoping it gives a great looking picture, but I have seen from its preview icon that its a 720 x 576 frame - why is it not exporting in 16:9? or will it squeeze that down to normal once it's in DVD SP?
    Really appreciate any understand you can help me with.
    cheers

    Going back to my original questions - could the problem be a HD file in an SD project?
    No. If you followed the workflow process from the above post you would have a SD mv2 file. The file should be playable in Quicktime and it should be 16:9.
    EDIT: Yes. Reading back on your OP this question ->
    In DVD SP I couldn't import my QT movie into my assets list as it was an "incompatible format" - is >this because it was HDV to a SD DVD Project? Doesn't the process of DVD SP encoding it as Mpeg 2 >make is SD anyway?
    I believe that importing a HDV file into a SD project would give you that error but if you follow the above steps and import the mv2, AC3 files you should not get that error.
    The reason you got three files is because that is how the preset group is made up. To be completely truthful I duplicated that preset, deleted the AIFF part and renamed the group. I now use that as my default settings when I bring any asset into Compressor.
    As far as bring video assets (quicktime SD/HD, or other) into DVDSP in general you can do this but, what is happing is that in the background DVDSP is going through the steps from my above post and creating the mv2, AIFF, AC3 files for you (based on your preference setting in DVDSP) and then replacing the video files you brought in with the compressed files.
    Can you play the mv2 file in quicktime? If not then something else must be going wrong.

  • Converting from HDV PAL to HDV NTSC???

    Just completed a 104 minute HDV PAL docu.
    Needs to be an NTSC version for North America.
    I de-interlaced the HDV, exported to DVCPRO 50, then conformed it to 23.98 fps with Cinema Tools. And the audio is a quarter tone down in pitch.
    Is there a way to do something about this and NOT lose audio quality?
    Or. What is the best way to convert PAL to NTSC?
    Ben

    With your sequence selected, choose file/export/using Compressor. Then for the settings, choose the "Advanced format conversions" and in there go right to NTSC... Don't deinterlace it, you'll just throw away half the resolution.

  • Trouble playing HDV and installing HDV codec

    hi,
    Quicktime and Final cut wont play back HDV footage on my new macpro that i captured on another macpro which is identical in configuration. I have tried installing the apple hdv codec and the apple intermediate codec but i keep getting a message which says 'you cannot install HDV components on this volume. Could not find specified message for index 20.'
    I dont remember having to install any extra codecs the last time i installed final cut on another mac inorder to playback HDV footage.
    thanks

    if you go to MacHD>library>Quicktime... do you have the AppleHDVCodec.component there?

  • HDV PAL to HDV NTSC to DVD, best conversion method?

    I'm cutting a feature doc shot in HDV PAL. What would you recommend the most efficient way to turn out an HDV NTSC master (to produce a DVD) for the North American market?
    I'm far from any post production house, in the wilds of New Zealand. Ideally I want to be able to do the conversions using the FCP Studio setup ... but need to be able to promise my producers that the end result will be top quality. Is this a Nattress question? Like, for instance, does a Nattress conversion give the same quality result as a hardware conversion, tape to tape?
    I'm thinking that if I can make a straight FCP\Nattress? conversion and end up with TWO HDV masters, PAL and NTSC. And then take each HDV master and produce two separate MPEG2's for the two DVD masters, using Compressor and DVD Pro ... then that might be the easiest way to go.
    If there is a better (even though more expensive way to go, other than a $900 an hour pp studio in L.A.), I want to be able to suggest that to the producers also. Let them choose...
    Thank you,
    Ben

    Hi Ben,
    Why do you try to conform to 24 fps if you want to convert PAL (25fps) to NTSC (30fps) ?
    You also doesn't need to de-interlaced video, do you? What for ?
    Is it for a theatre release or a television ?
    Maybe I didn't understand your problem...
    I've never done it but I would suggest to try to conform your quicktime file like that in Cinema Tools:
    Open file
    Conform
    29,97
    or
    30
    I think one is for frop frame and the other one is for non-drop but I don't know which one, I am not familiar with NTSC either.
    If it's for television you should choose drop frame I think to have the right lenght.
    There is also Reverse Telecine that you can use for NTSC but overall, I would suggest that you take a deep look into Cinema Tools help/manual because it's really well done and I'm quite sure you'll fine all your answers in it.
    Regards,
    Marie

  • 4:2:0 Color Smoothing Filter for HDV? keying HDV

    having fun here trying to key a green screen music video shot in HDV..
    thought it would be nice to try FCP's plugins on it... including some sort of "pre-blur" but unfortunately i don't see a color smoothing for 4:2:0 color space in which HDV shoots..
    any suggestions on what the best way to key this stuff is

    Try the G Chroma Sharpen filters in Film Effects (www.nattress.com), which were designed for this. They do 4:2:0 smoothing, and then sharpen the chroma based upon luma detail to get the best edge possible.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when importing HDV Video

    For some reason I keep getting crashes when importing HDV (720p60) video into the timeline of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  This has happened on two different machines, with similar specs.

  • HDV "Stream Problem" while digitizing.

    I am trying to digitize some HDV footage shot in 720p30. I get deck control I can play the footage in the capture window but when I try to capture now it will capture only a few seconds and then stop and give me this message.
    "Stream Problem"
    "Capture was stopped due to a problem with the incoming stream. This might be a problem with the tape. All media up to this point has been preserved."
    Does anyone know what is going on here or how to fix it?

    Greetings everyone,
    Just want to add my two cents and testify that this is a real problem regardless of what JVC or Apple want to disavow. My comrade and I shoot with two JVC GY-HD100U's with the HDV 720p30 codec. We purchased the Firestore DR-HD100's (God bless their soul - I don't care what all the reviewers say about this product - they need a visit from the iPod development team) with the cameras and use those for majority of jobs. No problems with TC breaks. However take that backup tape that was simultaneously recording with the Firestore and perform long captures from tape, we encounter stream breaks. Both cameras have had this problem out of the box. We don't have a dedicated deck since we figured most work will come off the Firestores so when we capture from tape its from the camera. However the Firestores are limited by battery life and for long continuous shoots we fall back on tape. Hence the frustration of TC breaks. Could someone from JVC or Apple take some initiative and find the flaw? Thanks.

  • Frequency of video HDV 720p50

    en Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 si crea un proyecto nuevo y vaya a la pestaña presets secuencia entonces a la carpeta HDV se limita a 720p30 HDV, pero tengo un video grabado HDV 720p50, so there is any workaround or plugin that you could recomend me.
    thanks forward.

    Can you select a Desktop Preset, and then customize the FPS to match your source footage? The regular Presets are for general media types/specs. For other source footage, Desktop allows one a great deal of latitude.
    Good luck,
