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.

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.

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.

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.
Per the suggested guidelines, here are the specifics:
Version of Premiere Pro: CS6, Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC:264587))
All updates have been installed.
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.8.5.
Source footage: HDV 720p60 video in .MOV container.
Full text of error message: "Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
Link to full crash report: http://goo.gl/Gn8Bzn
Crash occurs when trying to import HDV .MOV file.
This is a consistent problem when importing .MOV files of this type.
Complete Adobe Creative Suite is installed. Also using Episode Pro encoding software from Telestream to prepare HDV video. No other external video hardware or codecs installed.
Yes, I am using the Mecury Playback Engine GPU acceleration.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me figure this one out.

Thanks Mark. Here is the Media-Info Data of one of the clips:

Stuttery HDV Playback

Hello,
I'm editing a 720p60 piece that consists of a continuous, very smooth motion dolly (on tracks) pan. However, on QuickTime playback the video exhibits occasional stutters. These stutters are not consistent temporally (i.e. stutters aren't always in same place). These stutters appear similar to dropped frames (i.e. the video jumps ahead a small amount). However, the system is keeping up as tested by FCP's dropped frames detection, and QuickTime's Playing FPS Info window reports a consistent frame rate.
On playback from tape to an HDTV there are no stutters. Also, tape printed from FCP (this footage which is sttutery in FCP and QT) also exhibits smooth playback on the HDTV. Clearly, this is some software playback issue. Thinking that the complex MPEG-2 data was being misinterpreted by QT, I downconverted to Apple Intermediate Codec, ProRes 4:2:2 and various low data rate SD files always with the same sttutery result. At this point, I am approaching being stumped. This work is intended for QuickTime SD downconverted playback (as well as HD ProRes 4:2:2 archiving) so I cannot avoid the issue. Help ...
Specs:
HDV 720p60
JVC GY-HD200U camera
QT 7.3.1 (and also tried QT 7.4)
Leopard 10.5.1
FCP 6.0.2
Easy Setup 720p60
iMac 2.4GHz Duo
chimpybits

- FCP 6.0.2
- HDV 720p60
I do think the capture is fine as printing back to tape and playing that onto HDTV is fine.
Studio X I do think you are onto something as the best looking playback I had was with a G5 and a 23" display set as the video playback. However, there were still some stutters. Note that there wasn't a 2nd display so this was an either/or setup (either windows including FCP or video playback). I don't know if this setup creates playback performance issue (~stutters). This same setup I can do with my 24" iMac and the result is similar.
Now, do I really need a Matrox MXO, Kona LHe, or Blackmagic HDLink? I know that they provide the advantage of pixel-by-pixel representation, but I expected an HD LCD via DVI (i.e. 23" Cinema Display hooked up to a Mac Pro or current iMac) to playback the video without stutters.
Also, why would the issue persist through transcodes to countless other QT codecs (some quite low data-rates).
Currently, my next testing steps involve using a 2 monitor setup with one being the video playback and a Mac Pro with an internal SATA RAID. My hard-drive setup is good (I would expect adequate), but not great and my monitor setup needs to be improved. Also, I may be able to test on a Mac Pro with a Kona 3. So, my weak points to be tested are hard-drive, 2nd display, and 2nd display with a Kona 3 card.

Pasted from FCP manual.
Note that Canon does have some Firewire Basic transported formats.
So it's probably one of those.

Standard Definition Recording with an HDV Camcorder
In addition to recording HD video, most HDV camcorders can also record standard definition DV video. You can capture, edit, and output this DV video just as you would any other DV video.

Final Cut pro inserts a frame of black between cuts. What do I do?

While exporting my FCP project as a quicktime movie, a frame of black is added between each edit. What do I do.
I am exporting as HDV 720p 60.

Thanks Tom,
My current Audio/Video Settings are:
sequence preset = HDV 720p60
capture preset = HDV
device control preset = HDV Firewire 59.94 fps NDF
video playback = None
audio playback = Default
Are these settings correct?
Thank you!

Exporting HD footage turns into low res pixel mess

I have the following problem. I imported Video files into a HD 720p60 FCP timeline. Sequence settings are: HD 960x720 (16:9)
compressor is HD720p60. fps accidentally is 23.98 but no sound so sync is not an issue.
Now every time I try to change the settings (say to 29.97) or export as a quicktime movie, the picture quality goes to ****. it turns super pixely and low res. I never had this issue and I am at the end of my wits. I tried converting the footage to every possible format with different compressions, no luck.
The original video files are 854x480, codex is interger (big Endian) HDV 720p60. I used MPEG STREAMCLIP to create the video files.
Thanks for any help,
Kris

If your original files are 854x480 (and the source could easily be 720x480 anamorphic) I would advise working with a timeline that is at the source resolution and frame rate. EVERY conversion you make will degrade your image quality. This includes the frame rate change you have going on in Compressor.
Work in Final Cut with the same sequence settings as your source, then send it to Compressor at the end and make only one change. This is the big point. Your 720p60 is upconverting your resolution and change your frame rate to 60 progressive. From there you're dropping down to 29.97. That's two converts when you could probably be getting away with one. Also the HD720p60 is anamorphic if I remember right, so unless you're feeding it anamorphic clips you'll be cutting your horizontal resolution down.
If you are working with some clips captured using MPEG Streamclip and some HD video that is in fact 720p60 my advice would be on using Compressor to change your Streamclip videos to have the same settings as your other video. Just drag them from the Finder into Compressor and find/build a setting that matches what you have. I would probably add a mild sharpening to them so they hold together a little better when blown up.
As far as Final Cut is concerned you are then working with the same kinds of clips on the timeline despite being from two sources.
Codecs/formats are a mess. Just like a paper airplane flies worse every time you refold the paper into a new model, video looks worse every time you switch to a different codec/frame rate/resolution.

Converting movie for use in FCP

O Nobleissimos!
I exported some movies from TheMovies animation game and want to optimize their use in FCP. Tho I can open in QT, I can't in FCP. Using MPEG Streamclip I want to export to an appropriate format. What I wind up with from The Movies is:
Format: H.264. 1280x720, Millions
AAC, 2 Channels, 44100 kHz
FPS: 20
I see my best options for exporting as Apple DVCPRO HD 720p60, Apple HDV 720p30 or Apple HDV 720p60; OR match my Canon HV20's HDV 1080i60, some footage of which I'll be using. Or maybe another codec?
By using the 720 format in my sequence the animation will be at 100% and I can actually zoom in a bit with my Canon footage creating some flexibility in editing.
Therefor, for video I think maybe I should use the HDV 720p30.
For 'sound' I would choose either Auto or 48kHz, probably 48kHz since auto might just keep the 44.1kHz.
Since the above is progressive I will uncheck 'Interlaced Scaling'.
If you have any tips, or see a better way, plese post.
Thanks!

Ha! That is funny!
MPEG was quick on that batch, too. (my first time.)
And smart move with those little cams, following guys with cams does sound dangerous. Reminds me whenever I see shows of guys struggling and whining as they climb Everest or whatever, I always think, "Yea, and what about the cameraman." Those guys must be supermen!
Top of the mornin' to yuh, bud!

Exporting HD Video Question

I have footage recorded by a Canon Vixia HG20 camcorder. It films 1920x1080 HD video at 60i. I am looking to edit this footing in Premiere Pro CS4 and am wondering what I should export the footage as to receive the absolute highest quality video. I believe that an MPEG-2 video would be the best choice (not sure though, possibly AVI or other?) Under the MPEG options there either 1440x1080 High Quality or multiple different HDTV options such as HDTV 1080i 30fps or HDTV 1080p 30fps and so on. It seems that if i export this in progressive HD it has better color quality than the interlaced HD, but is not quite as clear of an image. Also, I am unsure of what format the sequence should be in, either normal (square pixel 1920) or anamorphic 1440. I believe it normal is a better choice because my camera shoots full 1920x1080 but again I am unsure. Any help, ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Bryan

If it's DVD, then you've got to use MPEG2-DVD. You might also want to put 60 fps footage in a 30 fps sequence since it behaves much better (see my post "Problem with DL'd/keyed footage in HDV 720p60 sequence-CS4") located right behind yours and then look at this thread, which helped my get it right.
Hope this helps.

Is Final Cut Pro, Action/Title Safe Relavent Anymore?

Just wondering since old-school 4:3 tube TVs are disappearing faster than a snowball in he.... well you know what I mean. As far as I know, digital flat screens don't clip anything, right?
How concerned about bubble TVs are all of you with the HDTV revolution?

Well, I'm here in the States and up to now, only done SD. In fact, almost everyone asks for h.264 720x480, mostly from cable stations.
I have a new broadcast station that is asking for "Apple HDV 720p60 16x9.mov (must be 4x3 safe)"
I'm also wondering if I can use my existing SD spots in that 720p sequence, or do I have to start from scratch?

Archiving in ProRes? Seriously?!

Ok, so I'm finally taking the big step from HVD to ProRes. I have been using HDV as my editing codec for almost 3 years now and I have never had any problems with the smaller projects (online videos and such). But when it comes to a bigger project (like a feature film) or as soon as I start mixing up different footage FCP starts acting up so I guess I don't really have a choice- I'll start using ProRes! And then oh my!! Was I surprised when I saw the difference in the file sizes! All of the projects that I've done before have been archived as HDV - 720p60 because that was what gave me the smallest file size. And now I'm faced with this ProRes beast and I'm so tempted to just keep archiving everything as HDV - 720p60 and I know some of you will bury me alive for all I'm worth just for doing that.
So I did a little search on here to see what people are suggesting about the different archiving options and it seems like most people suggest that one uses ProRes to archive. Unfortunately, I do 2 projects per week and if I were to archive those in ProRes I would be using up those hard drives like chewing gum. I know a lot of people are going to tell me "But hard drives are cheap! Don't be stingy!" but in the economy today I just can't justify an expense like that. Let alone the idea of having dozens of hard drives sitting around my house sounds scary.
So, this is my question - can someone tell me a way to archive my footage into small (40GB is not small!) projects without losing too much of the quality? Most of the footage I work with is HDV anyway, shot on mini DV tapes... And, no, a $5000 dollar storage solution is NOT a solution to me! I'd rather chew gum! If you know what I mean

OK...If they want to keep a lot of these projects alive constantly, time to start rethinking your media storage. Look into getting 2TB or 3TB Seagate drives...bare SATA drives, no enclosure, cheaper...and keep each project on a separate drive. Then you can access the drives via a drive dock, like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817392044&cm_re=drive_dock -_-17-392-044-_-Product
Or if they span multiple drives, or you want multiple drives online at a time, get this (I have this):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816111149&cm_re=5_bay_encl osure-_-16-111-149-_-Product
I have an eSATA card in my tower, and then connect to the device via eSATA. It takes bare drives, and is trayless. Meaning the drives slide in and out simply. This way you can just take the drive out, put it on a shelf, and go back to it when you need it. And the drives are CHEAP. $99 for 2TB, and $130 for 3TB.

Transition Corruption Upon File Export

Hi everyone, I have been trying to export some videos and everything plays perfectly fine in the timeline. However, when I export to a QuickTime file, every transition appears to be "corrupted." Tiled blocks and ugly green patches all over, but only during the transition. It happens with every transition, from cross dissolve to alpha transitions. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. If I make sure that the transition isn't rendered then it comes out fine, but when it is rendered and makes the self contained quicktime the transitions are corrupted. However, when it is played in the timeline it is just fine.
what codec is the footage, - HDV 720p60
what codec is is the timeline, - HDV 720p60
what codev are you exporting to? - HDV 720p60
what version of FCP? 7.0.3
OS X? 10.6.4
Quicktime? (player) 10.0 (114)
I was thinking about trashing preferences, but wanted to ask first.

Exporting for display on Ipad stretches video?

So I'm trying to export a project for display on an Ipad and when i do it keeps stretching the video. I've tried exporting it using both Export>Quicktime Conversion>Ipod, Ipone and Apple TV, I get the stretched picture every time. Any advice? I'm running FCP 5.1.4 and the sequence settings are as follows
Frame size: HD (1440x1080)(16:9)
Pixel Aspect: HD (1440x1080)
Field Dominance: Upper (Odd)
Editing Timebase 29.97
Quicktime Video settings
HDV 720p60
Quality: 100%
Audio settings
Rate: 48 kHz
Depth; 16-bit
Config: Default
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your video is Anamorphic and should have a Displayed size of 1920x1080 on a square pixel device such as your computer or iPad.
Use the Export to QuickTime function (not Conversion) and make it Self Contained with Current Settings
Open the exported video in QuickTime Player. Press command and i keys. Tell us exactly what it says in the Information window.
You should use this file in Compressor to make the 720P end result.
Why are you exporting as HDV? iOS devices require H.264.

HDV 720p60
