HDV - importing and storage...

hey folks.....
a couple of quick questions for you:
1. We shot some footage on HDV Tape to get the the hi-res footage into final cut pro. is it HDV-apple Intermediate codec or is it one of the dvcpro hd settings?
2. How much hard drive space, roughly, will it take up at full res.?
thanks
olly

Because it is heavily compressed into mpeg2, that's why.
Although HDV and DV share the same tape format and the same recorded datarate, they use completely different video compression technology.
The DV codec is strictly an intraframe (spatial) compression. Each DV video frame is recorded as an independent picture, with a fixed bit allocation and uniform placement on the videotape.
The HDV codec is based on MPEG-2 video compression, which employs both intraframe and interframe (temporal) techniques. Interframe compressors store only a fraction of the frames in a video as independent pictures -- called key frames -- and encode the remaining frames as changes relative to them.
Consequently, HDV frames vary in size depending on their prior and future neighbors. In HDV 1080i, one in every 12 (25 FPS) or 15 (30 FPS) frames is a key frames
Hope this helps.

  • Import and storage of LR4 develop presets

    i use iMac 27", 16GB ram and mountain lion, along with LR4.2
    i have only recently begun to use develop presets,  being lazy has just creeped up on me. I have 15 or 20 presets showing in my preset panel. Most are old.
    i find that under app;ication/support/adobe/lightroom, that i have two folders. one called "develop presets", and one called "user presets."  both contain folders of presets. some seem to be duplicates. in total, the 2 folders contain about twice as many as in the preset panels. a good number do not show in my develop preset panel.
    is this as it should be? can i create subfolders under the USER PRESETS in the develop presets panels and move them to there?
    this is already sounding more complicated than it should. I will read the online help again.
    thanks for any suggestions in this area.
    vince

    thanks RIKK. i had figured that out a few minutes ago and was considering withdrawing it. it was so simple.
    in any case, i am grateful for your response

  • Problems with sound sync for HDV import (MPEG file)

    I've imported a one hour tape from my Sony HDR-HC3 (HDV import), and within a few minutes the sound and video get out of sync when I play it.  I have elements v4 and also tried version 8 (trial) which was better but still a second out of sync vs 4-5 seconds for v4.  The imported files for both versions both play perfectly in Windows Media player with no sync problems.
    I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit with 4GB ram and a 4 core AMD processor which isn't struggling.  In searching the web I've seen some old workaround solutions for similar problems which involved deinstalling quicktime, installing streamclip and a quicktime alternative and then converting the files imported by Elements.  I am hoping there is a more straightforward solution within Elements which avoids having to go through this workaround.
    Has anyone had this problem and solved it?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Thanks for the pointer Neale.  I tried converting the file with Streamclip (quite slow - about 1/3 play speed) and noticed there were some errors reported near the beginning.  I reimported the HDV into Premiere Elements 4 but this time in a number of smaller sections.  I think it may have been related to those errors because when I cut to a later section the sound was in back in sync where it previously had been out of sync. This seems to have solved it for me.  If I get some time to have a play with the converting solution I'll post the results back here, but for now I can catch up with the video editing which has fallen behind a bit.
    Thanks again.

  • Questions on photos and storage

    I have a few questions about photos and storage... If you can just answer one of these, that's fine and thanks for the help!
    How do I see how much space my iPhoto photos are taking on my hardrive?
    I have Time machine which backs up, but concerned that I'm getting too many pictures.  When I do "Get Info" on the hardrive it says 640GB Capacity with 254GB used. I'm assuming that includes all my photos, and that Time machine only backs up and is not the active storage for those photos?
    What is advisable for available GB space on this size computer?
    I have my photos on the hardrive and the time machine, is it also advised to have in a cloud-based storage system to be safe? Or some other place.  Just checking what others do with this.

    1 - it is a really good idea to start new threads with new questions - threadjacking a year old solved thread on a totally different subject will not provide the best coverage and the best answers
    2 - Do NOT uncheck the option to copy imported items to the iPhoto library - it is a really, really bad idea that will create many problems for yo and has no advantages of any sort - see the user tip on file management in iPhoto for more details - iPhoto and File Management
    3 - take the time to learn how to use iPhoto and the concept of using a database for management photos rather than a file based system like you are used to - it is much different and much more powerful - but there is a learning curve and a different thought process
    4 - yes you can always export anything or everything from iPhoto for use on any other system - see the user tip on exporting for details - Exporting From iPhoto
    5 - always remember that you never access your photos directly - iPhoto totally replaces the finder for managing your photos - see the user tip on accessing photos for more details - How to Access Files in iPhoto

  • Can i access and edit photos direct from finder rather than import and duplicate in iphoto?

    Hi, I have tens of thousands of photos so would rather not duplicate them in two places and eat into my storage. Is it possible to access photos saved in My Pictures direct from iPhoto without having to import them directly (and therefore duplicate them) into iPhoto? Any help appreciated! Thank you

    Yes but you don't want to.
    It's called running a Referenced Library and you can read about the issues and pitfalls in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
    Frankly the better way to work is to import them to iPhoto and let iPhoto copy the files. Live and work with it for a while and when you're content trash your pre-existing filing system - it's of no use to you any way. If you use iPhoto (or similar apps, like Aperture, Lightroom etc) you access the photos via those apps and not the Finder - the point of using a Photo Manager after all.
    If you have a folder tree or pre-existing organisation structure you can recreate it quite quickly in iPhoto. For instance:
    If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
    Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
    You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
    However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
    If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.

  • Importing and organizing photo files lightroom 5 for the first time. Clean up hard drive photo files

    I have a trial version of lightroom 5 and would like once and forall to bring some order to both my hard drives and lightroom 5 collection. Some photos in lightroom 5 seem to have lost their path. some are in Window 7 folders and others are in Elements 9. I have made back up copies of some folders and would like to have a more systematic approach to back them up from now on. I have a NAS (network access storage) device and an extra hard drive I thought it would be best to use my laptop as the primary working memory for my photo files as it would be faster than working with the NAS or external, and then back everything up to the NAS and external. I see the main challenge as  consolidating all of the files and whereever possible preserving the ratings I have given photos; I would like to eliminate duplicats. on both the hard drive and in lightroom. i have looked at one of the initial training vidios on the 'library' section of adobe help and the presenter talked of two methods of importing photos,. the first and the one I think I will use going forward is to open lightroom and import from the sd card directly as opposed to having Windows 7 import and then having lightroom find them. If someone kows of a comprehensive list of instructions to follow to clean up my hard drives that would be extremly helpful? Peter

    I doubt there is a list of instructions to clean up a hard drive, because every starting sitaution is different, and your "clean" is probably a lot different than my "clean".
    But let's clear up a few things first. Based on your writing, it seems like you think you have photos stored in PSE and photos stored in LR. This is not correct. Neither of these programs store your photos. All of your photos are on your hard disk, in folders, somewhere.
    With regards to missing photos in Lightroom, when you move or rename photos and folders OUTSIDE of Lightroom, Lightroom no longer knows where they are, and reports them as missing. To fix it, see: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm Related to this, you don't want to "clean up" things in Windows and also "clean things" up in Lightroom. Instead, once you import photos into Lightroom, you should do all photo management in Lightroom, not Windows, otherwise you will just be creating more missing files.
    With regards to duplicates, Lightroom has some tools to detect duplicates. It will try to prevent duplicates on import, and if you do manage to import duplicates, you can use the "AutoStack by Capture Time" to try to find additional duplicates. But if those don't work, then you're pretty much on your own.
    With regards to putting photos on your laptop to work on them rather than your external HD, I think you will find that this provides a tiny fraction of a second improvement in speed which you may not even notice, which will be offset by the time you spend moving photos to somewhere else when you are done. So, just put the photos in their final destination folder on your external HD or NAS, and don't bother moving them to the internal HD.
    Which brings up another point. Once you have accomplished this "clean up", your workflow should be to put the photos in one place, and then don't move them! (Exception: running out of space on disk, or moving to a new disk/computer) Make your life as simple as possible.
    One last point: strongly consider using keywords and other metadata to achieve organization, instead of moving photos/folders from here to there to achieve organization. These tools in Lightroom give you ability to organize in much more powerful and flexible organization than anything you can do by moving photos/folders from here to there. (Side note: if you want all photos in some sort of centralized location because it meets your storage needs, then do that because it meets your storage needs. Within that collection of photos in a centralized location, use keywords and other metadata to achieve organization and for searching)

  • [SOLVED] Create table and storage clause

    Hi, I create a table whit lob ad so, I set some LOB storage clause:
    CREATE TABLE W2_T_MESSAGE_NWSL (
    KEY NUMBER,
    T_MESSAGE CLOB DEFAULT EMPTY_CLOB(),
    T_TEXTMESSAGE CLOB DEFAULT EMPTY_CLOB(),
    T_FOOTER CLOB DEFAULT EMPTY_CLOB())
    LOB (T_MESSAGE)
    STORE AS (TABLESPACE LOBDATA CACHE READS RETENTION ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW),
    LOB (T_TEXTMESSAGE)
    STORE AS (TABLESPACE LOBDATA CACHE READS RETENTION ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW),
    LOB (T_FOOTER)
    STORE AS (TABLESPACE LOBDATA CACHE READS RETENTION ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW);I need to export this table and do an import on a different instance.
    I know for sure that the tablespace LOBDATA exists on both database but I can't say the same for the user default tablespace.
    The problem is that when I import this table, the statement fail because the default tablespace of the user hasn't the same name of the tablespace where the table was exported.
    IMP-00003: ORACLE error 959 encountered
    ORA-00959: tablespace 'USERWNSTARTUP' does not exist
    This because the create table generated by the export has this storage clause:
    PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 STORAGE(
    INITIAL 65536 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1) TABLESPACE USERWNSTARTUP LOGGING NOCOMPRESS LOB (B_LOGO) STORE AS (TABLESPACE "LOBDATA" ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW CHUNK 8192 PCTVERSION 10 CACHE READS STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1)
    On other tables, where I havent defined any storage clause all works fine.
    Is there a way to resolve this problem?
    Thanks
    Regards

    if someone is interested I've found this on the official import oracle documentation:
    if the tablespace no longer exists or the user does not have the necessary quota, the system uses the default tablespace for that user as long as the table is unpartitioned, contains no LOB or VARRAY columns, is not a type table, and is not an index-only table with an overflow segment.In my case I've a LOB column, so tablespace information would be exporterd. I've done a trace of the import and I can confirm that on table without lob, varray etc.. the create table statement hasn't the tablespace specification.

  • Growing file import and refresh issues

    1) With files generated by our own MOV/op1a writers, we get different results with different wappers, different OS platforms and versions, and different storage filesystems, both using CC 7.1 and CS6.05 
    Quicktime files on the Mac, OS 10.7.5 to a Samba share: refresh will only work by putting Premiere into the background then bringing it to the foreground to force the update. 
    Quicktime files (any codec) on a win7 PC writing to an NTFS share: we get sporadic updates, although in about 98% of sessions, the file will update once or twice after import and then never again during that particular CC/CS6 session. Exiting the program, reopening it and loading the project again will update the duration.  After closing the file, the duration updates instantly in both CC/CS6
    -- For Quicktime files, it seems like some sort of cache file is written that does not get updatedand premiere looks at this instead of polling the current state of the file.
    op1a XDCAM - on PC at least we get a sharing violation when attempting to open, much as in this discussion on the Adobe Community Premiere site: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4746601
    op1a AVC-I not tested yet.
    2) With Adobe Media Encoder CC doing the writing, we get no joy whatsoever.  Only tested on win7/NTFS share
    op1a XDCAM on import CS6/CC returns "file is open in another program" error.
    op1a AVC-I on import CS6/CC returns "file is open in another program" error.
    Quicktime (any codec) file import error or crash.
    All types import correctly after the files are closed.
    -- seems that the AME openfile() handle type is write-only, so Premiere can't open it for reading.
    So...I guess my first question is, what growing file source has this feature been tested with, on which OS and storage filesystems?
    There is virtually zero documentation and what little exists is very unspecific or contradictory...

    Ken,
    There are numerous posts on this subject. Currently LR treats same name, different extension files as sidecars of each other. Check out the numeroues RAW + JPG posts for example.
    Import your files into different folders and then move them into the folder you want for now.
    Hopefully this behaviour will be changed in the forthcoming 1.1 release mentioned by Jeff Schewe et al.

  • IMovie importing and exporting slow as molasses!

    I can not figure out why it takes SO long to import and export into iMovie.
    I try to import quicktime files into iMovie in order to edit and it seems to take hours sometimes.
    Then when I'm editing it's like everything moves static and it's just not smooth. Really annoying.
    Then when I Finally am able to edit and I want to export it back into a quicktime a 5 minute project can sometimes take HOURS. There were times i left it to export overnight even and it was still going in the morn.
    There has GOT to be something I'm doing wrong here. My projects turn out great once they are done but this time thing is a serious issue. Please can someone offer advice. I even bought an external and took movie files off my HD and off iMovie thinking that was the problem but still it seems to take really long. Are there settings or something i'm missing? I'm no tech guru so anyone who can help would...I would so appreciate it your patience and kindness.
    Thanks so much!

    A   .mov  file can contain .mp4 data or other form of compression.  .mov is essentially a wrapper and doesn't in itself tell you what the type of actual compression being used might be. YOUR .mov files may well be  H264 compressed video. You can convert these to any one of several other compressed formats and in doing so you can choose how much quality you wish to convert them to in most instances. You could take that original .mov file and convert it to ProRes 422HQ and get a huge uncompressed files or convert it to a smaller and more compressed form for viewing at a small size and higher compression. FCPX creates those uncompressed (less compressed) ProRes 422 files if you tell it to optimize your media.  File size (literal pixels vs pixels ), amount of compression, data rate and type of compression  all contribute to the eventual quality of the resulting file. I would strongly advise you to NOT dump the original files. In fact when you copy your data from your camera you should copy the ENTIRE folder and keep that as an archive. Larry Jordan has some good information on why that's important. If you downsample to a smaller form that uses less hard drive space an toss the originals you will NEVER be able to get back the full quality. It's like taking a RAW camera still shot and making a small jpg and then tossing the RAW footage. You can't get back data that you throw out. There is no free lunch. FCPx doesn't HAVE to copy from the external drive. You can control that in your preferences. I can promise you that if you toss the original footage in favor of saving some drive space, if that is good footage worth keeping, you will regret it later if you ever choose to reuse that footage and want the best possible image. Buy more hard drive space and get used to doing that cause it won't be the last time you have to buy more storage space.

  • Is an iMac 24" enough to import and edit HD video?

    I am looking to purchase an iMac 24" and a Canon HV20 camcorder. My expectation is to be able to easily import and edit High Definition video at the cameras highest quality settings.
    We will also be importing LOTs of old high 8 video using the passthrough mode of the HV20 into iMovie.
    Are my expectations out of whack with the iMac 24" abilities?
    I am nervous moving over from a PC world where I really didn't have to worry all that much about this type of stuff as I could just upgrade the CPU or video card. I am pretty sure the video nor the CPU can be upgraded on the iMac so it is a consumable platform that is discarded when it becomes obsolete.
    Note that a Mac Pro is in the future to replace our present heavy lifting PC. I was hoping to buy the iMac 24" for my wife and offload all the Video and Photo functions off my PC to the Mac and leave my PC dedicated to being a DAW for now.
    Sorry for all the performance questions, Leopard just threw us for a loop as we were waiting to buy when it was released. We were also told that when Leopard releases there may be some updates to the iMac hardware (CPU, Bus speed = better performance).
    The one gripe I have heard pretty consistently from Mac users is getting left on an island with no ability to upgrade. So we were warned to make our buying choices very wisely to ensure we get the most life out of our iMac.

    Also it only comes with a single FW bus
    Actually, there are two FireWire ports. All the iMacs have two FireWire ports, three USB 2.0 ports, and two USB 1.1 ports on the keyboard.
    The 24-inch iMac has one FireWire 400 port and one FireWire 800 port. The other iMacs have two FireWire 400 ports.
    So the FireWire issue with the Canon — if there is an issue — should be handled by this iMac as well as any other. Remember too, if you need more FireWire ports for drives you can always plug them into a (powered) FireWire hub.
    That looks like a really fine Mac, so I'm sure you will be pleased. I especially like how it supports external monitors. You can add another 23-inch Cinema Display on the side, or other display. More here:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/imaccore2duo/index.html#apr13
    You can never have too much disk space, so I'd consider getting a larger drive, and planning to add FireWire drives as needed. Perhaps consider building a drive array. And too, Leopard's built-in backup utility may make it particularly attractive to have a second drive. (External drive, in your case.)
    You're correct; Macs tend not to be upgradable. On the other hand, Max OSX upgrades tend to be compatible with old iron. In fact, old iron seems to run faster with many upgrades. So upgrading hardware isn't terribly necessary. That's one of the reasons Mac owners tend to keep their Macs for such a long time. That and Mac durability. Five years isn't unusual. Many keep their Macs longer.
    Mine is coming up on its fifth anniversary. Its performance editing video is fine. If I upgrade cameras to HDV I know I'll probably want a faster Mac for importing/exporting video, but otherwise there's no particular reason to buy a new Mac or upgrade. Other than wanting the fastest Mac there is, which we all do.
    The 24" iMac is on my short list, as well as the new top-of-the-line Mac Pro. Speaking of which, there are rumors of a special edition 24-inch iMac that uses the latest quad-core processor. If you decide to wait for Leopard before buying anything, you may want to keep an eye open. (No idea if rumors are true.)
    But if you need it today, I'd go for it! That iMac will serve you well for a long time. Like a new car, you'll probably get tired of it before its useful life is over. Choosing to wait for the next great-sounding hardware is a never-ending cycle. If the hardware you need is there today — which that iMac is — get it so you can enjoy it!

  • Best "Capture" workflow for projects mixing HDV tape and XDCAM footage

    I'm trying to determine the best workflow for projects that combine XDCAM and HDV footage.
    I'd obviously do the editing in a project designed for XDCAM, as that's the higher quality footage,
    and render the HDV clips in the XDCAM timeline...ending up with an XDCAM end product.
    I'd use SONY'S XDCAM TRANSFER to get the clips into FCP.
    My question concerns capturing the HDV footage in this scenario. I've never been able to get
    the Log and Capture feature for HDV footage to work, unless I've created an HDV project and am capturing into that HDV project.
    So, generally, I create an HDV project, open the log and capture utility which is now set to capture HDV, and then capture the footage. I then close that project and create a new project, designed for XDCAM footage. I use XDCAM Transfer to get the XDCAM footage into the project, and I import
    the previously captured HDV footage into that browser and start editing, rendering the HDV in the XDCAM timeline.
    My question...do I really have to open, what is essentially a "fake" HDV project just to capture that HDV footage? You don't seem to have the option of capturing HDV footage (out of a camera or HDV tape deck) directly into an XDCAM project. If I try to change the capture or audio video settings of the XDCAM project to HDV, you get messages saying you can't do it.
    Is there something I'm missing or a more streamlined way of doing this?
    Thanks in advance for any input.

    No need to jump through these hoops. Just set yourself up with a universal Easy Setup that will handle both. Choose your regular XDCAM HD Easy Setup then open the Audio / Video Settings window and change the Capture Preset to "HDV" and the Device Control Preset to "HDV Firewire" ... then click the "Create Easy Setup" button and save it for recall whenever needed.
    Regarding the overall workflow, I'd seriously question the idea of creating XDCAM HD masters. No real benefit to that unless you need to export to XDCAM HD. Much better would be export your final master as Apple ProRes 422.
    Best

  • HDV import iMovie vs FinalCut

    I have a quick question regarding the HDV import in iMovie. I read on the apple webpage the Final Cut is the only (Apple) video editing software that has native HDV support for editing and that iMovie converts to another apple format.
    When using iMovie: what are the effects of the converting:
    (1) does the conversion makes the import slower (so do I have to wait after the import for the conversion to happen?
    (2) does the conversion have any undesired effect on the quality of the video or is it as good as the original HDV
    --> so the basic question is: will I feel or see any difference because of that conversion?
    For the equipment that I'm using (/planing to use):
    - 20" Intel iMac with 2GB of Memory
    - latest iMovie HD 6
    - I'm planing to get a Sony HDR-HC7
    - I have 100GB free on the internal Harddrive and tons free on external USB2 drives.
    thanks for any advise here ... this will help me to figure out if I go ahead to get a HDV camcorder or not (since for now I don't want to spend another 1k for new software since the camcorder is already 1k)
    thanks
    -Uwe

    thanks for the quick reply.
    How does the import work than: does it read from the tape in HDV and than converts it or does it slow down the import as needed (don't know if that is possible)?
    I guess there is no good answer for this one: but how much longer do you guess it is (I have an Intel iMac ... maybe someone here as experiance with iMac)
    [ ] almost realtime
    [ ] 2x
    [ ] 3x
    [ ] better don't do it
    I'm well aware that the contents of the video might have an impact on the converstion time and the diskspace (I read somewhere that HDV video compared to DV video needs anything between 2 and 5 times as much diskspace)
    thanks again
    -Uwe

  • Importing and editing footage with two different cameras

    I am editing a film that has footage caught and imported from two different cameras. Some of the footage is from a handheld HD camera that I have worked with before and use an "Easy Setup of Apple Intermediate Codec, 29.97 fps, HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60." I want to add some video footage that I shot with my Canon Rebel t2i. I searched a number of threads and concluded that when working with a project shot with the t2i, I should have the the Easy Setup be "HD, 29.97fps, DVCPRO HD 1080p30" (side question: is this correct?). My question is when starting a project where I will be using footage from both cameras, what Easy Setup should I use and is there anything else I should keep in mind?

    Shane-- Thanks for the willingness to help. I am in Helena, but travel all over the state for work--I am a fly fishing and bird hunting guide who likes to do some amateur filming and editing on the side. Love Missoula, Bozeman, Flathead area, etc! And since you are willing to be so helpful, I guess I should start with a go Cats!
    I am brand new to FCP, having previously worked a fair amount with FCE4. I actually do have FCP 7 and work with it on my Macbook Pro. My handheld camera is a JVC Everio that captures in AVCHD (1920x1080). I had my Easy Setup in FCE4 as Apple Intermediate Codec. If I use footage from this camera in FCP7, should I continue to do this?
    So not only am I new to FCP7, but I just bought the T2i and really am not totally sure what I am doing yet. I just got the Canon EOS Movie Plug-in and modified it according to some threads I read so that it works for the T2i. I also found directions on the Canon website on the proper way to Log and Transfer for T2i footage (side question: can I dump the files off my T2i onto an external HD and then Log and Transfer them into FCP7 from the external, and is there anything I need to know about when doing this?)
    So now that you know that I am very knew to FCP7 and the T2i, maybe I should start from scratch. When I log and transfer, what format should I use when I transcode? ProRes 442? And then, however you suggest I should transcode, what should my Easy Setup look like for footage from the T2i?
    Wow, if you are still reading at this point, and I haven't exhausted you with all of my questions and naivety, my final question is...once I have become comfortable with importing and editing footage from the T2i, what should I do if I want to log and transfer and then edit footage from both cameras? Do I need to change the Easy Setup? Do I need to make other changes?
    Thanks again in advance for all of your help and patience!!!
