Hdv codec

Hello,
I'm a doing a freelance editing job and i got back some footage thats from a mini HDV @ 1440x1080 and I don't have the QT codec tio install it. Does anyone have a link to where i can download a QT codec that will allow me to view and edit if in FCP?
-Cheers

I don't know what you mean?
HDV clips will work perfectly in FCP X and FCP 6.
Just import them.

My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

Apple HDV CODEC 1.4 is only made for Sony????

This is my question, since the apple hdv codec is support for XDCAM HD 422, I can't capture tape from my JVC PRO HD GY110U camera, this in FCP 6.0.3, but in FCP 6.0 I can capture from my jvc camera , but if I update to pro applications update 2008-01 I can't no capture from JVC camera or device. In FCP 6.03 , or in Final Cut with Apple HDV codec 1.4, when I tray to capture , the vtr it's ok in the capture window , but the capture window status say SEARCHING FOR MEDIA and no capture anything, another issue is the problem with the DV devices ( PREVIEW DISABBLE) same characteristics, vtr is ok but no capture anything. I hope that this problems will be resolve for the apple team. At this moment I can work with DV devices (24PA footage) and JVC pro hd(720P@24) devices well with this configuration:
PowerPC G5 Dual, system 10.4.11, quicktime 7.4.5(25) (67), final cut pro 6.0.
MacBookPro Intel core duo, system 10.5.2, quicktime 7.4.0(92), final cut pro 6.0.2
The major problem is , if I need to work with xdcam ex footage I will be need update to fcp 6.0.3 'cause the apple hdv codec needed for the xdcam transfer is Apple hdv codec 1.4, that come with the FCP 6.0.3, but, if I updated for that , I can't capture HDV PRO HD footage , and, probably the problem with the DV devices starting again. Note that We work with Firewire to capture , I have not a HD CARD or AJA to capture. Note that some people report the same problem with Canon cameras.
Well , if any one report this problems: SEARCHING FOR MEDIA or Preview Disabled , I hope that my little report help in something.

Apple HDV Codec

Hi,
I am using *Final Cut Pro 5.0.4* (FCP). I recently filmed a short film using 24p mode on a *Sony HVR V1U*. I now have *high-def 24p footage* which looks great on the LCD screen of my camera.
I thought I could import footage using the *Easy Setup HDV-1080i60* then use the Tools tab of FCP to reverse telecine. However, I get an error saying *"Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."*
So instead I used the Easy Setup *HDV AIC 1080i60* and then used Tools to reverse telecine the footage which gives poor looking footage (artifacts and ghosting).
Questions:
1. Is the HDV codec I am missing suppose to come with FCP 5?
2. Is there anywhere to download the HDV codec I am missing?
3. Is the poor quality of the AIC due to the compression of the codec or to possible operator error in not having all the capture/telecine/sequence settings correct?
4. Can anyone point me to the direction of a solid workflow that could help my situtation?
Thanks,
Brian

I hate to tell you this, but there was the EXACT same issue with the Apple DVCPro50 codec. If it was captured on a MAC (say, in FCP) it could not be read on a PC. And how long has DV been around? This codec was never ported over for Windows users. I don't expect the HDV codec will either. If anyone can prove me wrong, please do so. This has been a MAJOR annoyance for those of us working as professionals who receive footage from all types of editing systems.

Apple HDV codec and Out of Memory error on transferred project

Hi,
I recently captured and have been editing fine with HDV footage on my iMac (surprisingly enough). My question is, I transfered the entire project to a collegue to edit on his new Powerbook(much faster than my machine) he gets two errors when he tries to open the sequence. 1. Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card. Then, 2 - Out of Memory. He can play the audio off the QT movies but the display is only white. I looked up the Movie info for the QT movies and mine is reading that it is Apple HDV codec. The exact same clip's Movie info on his Powerbook is reading only HDV? Can anybody help? I'm pretty perplexed on this one.
Thanks!

It really would be useful if you included information like: FCP versions, QT versions, how the footage was captured and what codec was used?
Do you and he have matching versions of FCP? of QT?
If he doesn't have the codec you used to capture, then he t'aint gonna play the file. It is as simple as that.

HDV, Apple HDV codec or .m2t stream?

I am trying to figure out which would be better to do for HDV. Should I capture in FCP into the Apple HDV codec, or should I use DVHSCap to rip the .m2t file so that it is raw? Or, does these two come out to be the same quality?

It depends on your workflow. I think Apple Intermediate has a higher data rate. Check this out.

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?

Mpeg-2 module for quickTime does not read a .mov (HDV codec 1080i50)

Hi,
I've just bought the Mpeg-2 module for QuickTime for Windows, I've installed it and it does not work.
It cannot read .mov files with codec HDV 1080i50.
I can hear the sound, but I cannot watch the video.
Please, may somebody help me ?
Thanks

How to read a .mov file with the HDV codec on my PC ?
The file has been edited using Final Cut Pro on a Mac.
I have to edit the titles and realise the DVD authoring, but I cannot use it.
I've bought the module after reading on the Apple website that the module could read this kind of file on QuickTime Pro.
Any idea to read it on a PC?
Thanks
Mario

ProRess 422 HDV codec time-code out by 5 seconds

I encoded two HDV 1080i50 PAL tapes from my Sony HVR-V1E with ProRes 422 and also the standard Aplpe HDV codec and the ProRes 422 clips time code where around 5 seconds earlier than the HDV and tapes time-code!
My settings are:
Camera: Sony HVR-V1E
Video source 1080 50i PAL
OS X 10.4.11
QuickTime 7.3.1
FCP 6.0.2
Sequence preset: Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 50i 48Khz
Capture Preset HDV-Apple ProRes 422
Device Control Sony HDV 1080i50 FireWire
Have reported this issue to Apple UK and am awaiting a response.

In Fcp, Are your user preferences set to break clips on t/c breaks? from the menubar, >Final cut pro>User Preferences> On the right hand side on the first tab (general) there is a little section 'abort capture on Timecode breaks' just underneath that is a pulldown 'On timecode breaks' choose 'warn after capture' and you should end up with full and solid clips. BTW uncheck the 'abort capture...' box above the pulldown as well.
Hope it helps.

FCP7 having issues with HDV codec

So, one of our other editors saw an update pop up for QT and when it finished we were no longer able to read the HDV codecs on the computer. We have another computer thankfully to finish up some projects, but we need this computer to run as well. Plenty of our older footage was shot on HDV and we had already encoded them for that.
So, what have I done.
- I reseted FCP7 - No changes but the usual preferences in the initial startup.
- Deleted and re-installed QT - No change.
- Tried to download the Pro support codec from the QT download area in Apple.com - Wouldn't let me because it stated that there was a current version on the computer.
I have read and read and read many other people with this issue, and the only thing people answer back is, don't update software. Fine and dandy, but I haven't seen a solution to getting out of that hole after the update. My fellow associate just wasn't thinking at the time and thought the update would be okay. Obviously not.
Thoughts anyone? We are still on FCP7 here, just haven't been happy with FCPX really and we are too deep in projects to jump on to Premiere to learn a different layout for our edits right now.
Thank you for any comments and suggestions you bring to the table here. If any one knows the support phone line that would be helpful too ... I couldn't find that here.

To start, uninstall the update if you can. Even if the editor didn't note the ID, you should be able to find it by date or something.
In general, I always try to download any updates and run them manually rather than letting them run automatically. It allows me time to read the release notes and make sure I don't end up in your shoes.
If you can't uninstall, you may need to re-install the OS in order to get things straight. If so you may also need to re-install FCS 3 as well. This
FCS Remover - Uninstall Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, Soundtrack Pro, Color, DVD Studio Pro, LiveType, Cinema Tools
will make the job easier.
good luck

Leopard install 'broke' my HDV codec

After installing Leopard on my G5 desktop I am no longer able to play back HDV files using QT, and FCP 6.0.1 complains that a codec is missing and needs hardware support. I tries removing all of my FCP files/receipts and reinstalling--same error! I reinstalled Qmaster--same error! The two receipts I did not remove were the Quicktime_730 Leopard and Quicktime MPEG2--I didn't want to break Quicktime. Should I have removed these as well? I also did trash preferences, and repair disk permissions.
This is getting frustrating (though fortunately that is not my main editing machine)!!
Any thoughts?
Where are the actual HDV codecs kept on the system so I can see if they are installed but not being recognized, or if they are simply not being installed at all.
--Robert

TIme to back up your files, erase the hard drive and install Leopard from scratch, then the applications.
That may be the only way to fix this.

HDV codec missing after Archive & Install?

I use FC Studio (FCP 5.0.4), QT 7.2
Last Thursday I began importing HDV for a project from a Sony HDR FX-1E (HDV 1080i) with all the capture settings set properly. Capture results were fine.
Yesterday I had to Archive and install Tiger due to some severe font issues which were affecting the performance of the machine.
Today it seems some of QT's HDV codecs have gone missing, even with the software updated and running. I can open the clips in QT and hear sound, but no picture, only white screen. I can't set sequences properly in FCP either. It tells me a codec is missing and it sets the QT compressor automatically to "animation".
Is there any way to solve this? Do I have to reinstall FCP? I am already seeing my monday morning deadline slipping away! If anyone can offer any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

*Do I have to reinstall FCP*
Yes, you do... After an archive & install quicktime is reinstalled in its standard configuration... The HDV codec is ususally installed by FCP...

Aplle HDV codec for Windows...?

Thanks. Don

Isn't it part of QuickTime 7?

Have you tried copying the codec from one of the other machines? Might try that?

HDV Codec vs. Apple Intermediate Codec

OK, someone help me settle this once and for all. Which is better? HDV or Apple Intermediate?
I've shot a bunch of footage in both 24P and 60P on a JVC HD110u and I want to transfer it using the best codec.
Let the debate begin!
Thanks,
BC

All true, but I've spent the last few days at the local film festival (7 films in 4 days) and another week to go and all I have to say is ... the video format doesn't really matter if you have a compelling story.
On the schedule was a archival print of François Truffaut's, Day for Night in original French with subtitles. Apparently the copy was in such bad shape that Warner Bros, (who has the american distribution rights) recommended to the organizers that they show ANY other copy the local organizers could lay their hands on - the original was in that bad condition. So, we saw a VHS version ( with subtitles).
The vhs formatted movie was delightful. Yep, the images were soft and the color sorta doggy. After it was over and I sat through the super duper high def thing that followed, which was throwaway filler, the point was once again driven forcefully home - the format doesn't really matter - Content is king.
Cheers,

HDV Codec Problem

Hey,
I am currently using my macbook pro with final cut pro version 6.0.1 installed to edit. I have a Sony HDR FX1E camera and have shot my footage in HDV 1080i format.
My problem is when I come to capture in final cut. I go to the capture settings tab and under the capture/input tab there is no HDV option. No apple intermediate codec either. Is this right? Im sure the last time I used this camera on a project I was able to select HDV as the input device. I have checked the 'library-receipts' folder and both codecs are in there.
I have also done a complete reinstall of OSX and final cut just last week.
Any help guys?

Is it there under "Easy Setup"?
