HELP! - Getting RAW footage into Offline RT jpeg project

I hoping someone can write down a brief explanation of the steps needed to do this final step in the edit process.
I imported all my footage as an Offline RT jpeg format so it wouldn't take up so much space on the HD. Now I'm completely finished editing the project and need to send the raw footage back through so it can replace the Low-res jpeg stuff in the chosen cuts.
This is the first time I'm doing this and I just want to do it write, not wanting to risk hurting the project.
(I'm working with Final Cut Pro 4.5)
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I don't know what RAW footage is. I thought RAW as a digital photo format without compression.
On the chance you mean recapturing footage in it's original format,
1. take the footage you have now off-line
2. Open up Log & Capture
3. Select all your footage in the Browser and select BATCH CAPTURE
4. In Log & Capture make sure the settings are for the correct format for the footage you wish to capture
5. Capture
6. Make sure the settings of your sequence are changed to match the footage you just captured.
There is probably an easier way using media manager - but I never use MM ....
good luck.

  • How do I get HVX200 footage into Final Cut 4.5?

    This may be a redundant question, and I am currently in the process of waiting for my upgrade to Final Cut Studio to arrive in the mail, but in the meantime, just received a HVX200 camera in the mail yesterday and was wondering if it is possible to get the footage in my computer. I followed the instructions in the operation manual and my G5 did recognize the camera as a separate drive via Firewire on the desktop which is full of .mxf files. Being new to HD video, I just did a basic Firewire hook-up from the camera straight into the computer and hoped that I would be able to capture the footage via Final Cut 4.5 HD. Obviously I was wrong. After doing some research, I've seen several ways of getting the footage into the system, most of which refer to the latest version of Final Cut Studio, but nothing much on how to get it into 4.5 other than some confusing mentions of somehow converting the footage in Quicktime files. If the .mxf files can be converted into Quicktime and then edited in Final Cut 4.5 until my upgrade arrives in the mail, can someone please help me with this? The bad news is as of now I only have Mac OS X version 10.3.7. I do plan on upgrading very soon, but was curious if it is still possible to make the HD footage editable on the system I currently are running - 10.3.7 and FC 4.5. If anybody could help, I would appreciate it very much.
    Mac G5 Dual-Processor with Final Cut HD 4.5   Mac OS X (10.3.7)  

    Do I have to be running the latest version of Tiger for this to work? I ask because the new Quicktime download method did not work from OS 10.3.9. Maybe I'm still doing something wrong. Either way, I'm completely confused. First of all, what mode does the HVX200 need to be in? MCR/VCR or PC/DUB mode? My main question is how to convert those .mxf files into editable and viewable Quicktime files. Can I select a "convert" option somewhere? Am I overlooking something here completely? The thing that baffles me is the Firewire cable running from the tower to the camera displays the HVX200 files on my desktop under a white-drive icon that reads "no name". I just so badly want to grab them and convert them to editable Quicktime files that my 4.5 Version of Final Cut will import and recognize. Looks like that would be a relatively easy thing to do, but apparently not. Honestly, all that I got out of the link that you attached was apparently just how to upgrade to the latest version of Quicktime which would recognize "XL1" footage, not HVX200 HD footage. The posting didn't appear to be directed towards the HVX200/FCP 4.5 solely.
    In your original posting, you mentioned that FCP 4.5 would actually allow HVX200 footage in or at least knew a way to go about getting the footage into a system like mine. My question is, from your personal experience, can you give me a more accurate step-by-step description of what I need to do from hooking up the HVX200 to the G5 tower via Firewire and so on....
    It just seems that only upgrading Quicktime doesn't really get me anywhere near where I need to be. As I just try to figure out the common-sense of this all, it sounds like the computer IS recognizing the camera and the P2 card - hence the icon the appears on my desktop full of my video files labeled as .mxf files. So from here, the only thing that I can figure is that the only way to see my clips are to convert those files into another file (such as Quicktime) that FCP 4.5 wouldn't have any trouble reading??? CORRECT???? Seems like this is the only way it's gonna fly on the system I have...until I get the FCS upgrade. That said, I've got a two week wait and I'm impatient to watch my footage on my high quality Apple monitor!!
    Sorry to be a bother about this, but any additional help is welcomed!

  • Where to get raw footage for my students?

    I am teaching a video editing class and I need to find some raw footage for them to edit. I have some projects that came with the class but they are old and not very good. One project uses footage of a bank robbery that I now learned is for a short film called, "The Heist," but we are missing some of the footage and I cannot seem to find it anywhere online (or hardly any information about it). I do not need the highest quality footage but I do need complete projects, so the students can look at all the different shots and cut them down into finished products (commercials, music videos, corporate videos, short films, TV shows, anything and everything I can find). Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

    I too would be interested in getting my hands on what you are looking for.  And have tried. And I work on movies, tv shows, commercials as a grip... on crews....so you would think it would be fairly easy for me to find ...  After more than a year of keeping my eyes peeled for stuff I still haven't been able to get material like that.
    I'll mention what I've found out as it might help narrow your own search down.
    First off you're not looking for "raw" footage... raw is a type of video format and when I read this thread title that's what I thought you were looking for...
    There is some raw footage samples at this link ...and a few "shots" that can be edited together ( like same scene , 2 camera angles )...but nothing near as long as you are looking for....
    However, the footage is like from a red camera or prosumer cameras...I only used a couple clips from red camera from this link...and didnt check out all the stuff thats there...so you'd have to check it out yourself...
    http://groups.adobe.com/assets/CreativeSuite5/CS5-Demo-Assets/
    AECS 5_ Demo Assets_ final zip is the one I used...
    within that zip file I used a couple clips of a guy running while explosions happen on either side of him...that you can "edit"... short though.  you might find more stuff to use.
    what you're looking for is "scripted" material ( could be MOS ( no sound ) --and probably would be if pro stuff )
    pro stuff has sound mixed separately from the camera, and slates ( clappers ) are used in each shot to sync the sound later.
    If you do manage to find "dailies" from a tv show or movie, commercial, etc... that would most likely be on DVD and the quality for editing and export would not be the best cause its aleady mpeg 2 - dvd compression for viewing....
    If you want the original stuff it would have to be on hard drive or tape.... which isn't going to happen.
    DVD dailies given by productions to the director of photography and some others on the crews are given BACK to production in most cases, and everyone signs secrecy clauses and all that stuff, so sharing that stuff with anyone is a clear violation of not only that contract but also the copyright laws.
    So getting dailies is not a very promising and likely scenario.....
    With maybe one exception... if you are an accredited school and you write to the producers of a TV show you MIGHT be able to get samples of very old show dailies or dailies from a show that has been cancelled a long time ago ( no more likelihood of marketing in a secondary market )  But as you know, DVD's are still sold now for old Hawaii Five-O TV shows...so this route for you is probably going to require you and your students sign some sort of copyright stuff etc just to "play" with the stuff...
    You can see how getting material like you would like to have ( and me too ! ) is very hard to come by....good luck and if you find any source please post it here as I would also like to find that sort of stuff...even if it is just DVD stuff.
    good luck

  • Getting DVD footage into FCP

    I've got a DVD-R with my showreel burned on to it. I can play this on my Mac or on a DVD player etc but have not been able to work out how to get this footage onto my FCP in order to edit it further. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful.
    Cheers

    Consider not taking the original footage back into FCP.
    Demux the .vob's using StreamClip, to their native .m2v video and whatever audio format was used, and create a new DVD SP project using those ready to burn assets.
    In the track view, you can trim the already encoded assets - you may need to re-render the audio, or work with audio in aiff.
    Prepare new footage only in fcp, and encode in sections to new .m2v mpegs. Then, insert the newly encoded footage in with the originally encoded footage, using DVD SP as a rudimentary splice editor, in its track view. It is not frame accurate - you not be able to cut exactly where you would like to.
    It will be harder this way, but, you won't loose any quality over the original DVD, becasue you never decode and re-encode the original MPEG's.
    If this is too limiting, or difficult, then decode the lot and work in FCP - there will be a quality hit for decode / re-encode as David rightly says.

  • Need help importing Hi8 footage into FCE4

    Hi all,
    I have a Sony Digital 8 TRV310 camcorder. I'd like to be able to import the Sony footage directly into FCE 4 but am having trouble.
    I've successfully imported Hi8 footage from the TRV310 into FCE 4 in the past (it's been a couple years) but for the life of me I cannot remember how I did it (it had something to do with Easy Setup and choosing 'device control = none' or something like that. I can't seem to find that option anymore and the only 'device control none' is 'DV-NTSC DV Converter' and that selection doesn't work for the import).
    Here is the process that I am going through:
    1. I hook my Sony TRV310 up to my Mac Pro via a firewire 400 cable, turn the camera on and switch it to VTR (play) mode. I manually cue to the beginning of the footage I want to capture.
    2. Before attempting to import Sony footage into FCE 4 I go to 'easy setup' and dial in format=NTSC and use=DV-NTSC then click the setup button. I then go to file-->capture and a small window pops up indicating that capture is being initialized.
    3. The the 'capture window' pops up with preview screen indicating that 'preview has been disabled'
    4. I then hit the 'play' button in the capture window and then hit the 'capture now' button.
    A black window with 'Final Cut Express and Apple logo' pops up for a few seconds, then a warning window pops up which states 'this operation could not be completed as there is no video'.
    Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Dennis

    Sounds pretty close to me.
    Try starting a NEW Project the the DV Converter option selected , you may not have initiated the DV Converter option.
    Also there is no device control, so the Capture Now will not work, Start the camera manually and use the Escape key to stop capture.

  • Getting RAW look like the embedded JPEG

    This has been asked before, but I can't find the answer, so I will ask
    again.
    How do I get Lightroom to make the RAW file START it's adjustments with
    the full in-camera adjustment settings, so the RAW initially looks
    somewhat like it would if I had just shot JPEG?
    When processing Canon RAW images (we use a mix of 10D, 20D and 5D
    bodies), the initial 'unadjusted' image sometimes (often) looks VERY
    different from the camera adjusted JPEG of the same photo. The reason
    for the difference is that the JPEG has the camera adjustments applied,
    but the RAW doesn't. You don't need to shoot RAW+JPEG to see the effect,
    because the embedded preview in the RAW file is an adjusted JPEG, and
    many programs use that to display previews.
    The problem is that sometimes the JPEG looks darn nice because the
    camera did a pretty darn good job processing the photo, but the RAW
    looks flat, bland and lifeless. And it takes a whole lot of futzing
    around to get it to look 'as good' as the dumbed down in-camera JPEG.
    So is there some setting that I'm missing that reads in the full
    'as-shot' settings of the camera, and correlates them to initial
    settings for the RAW? It would be nice to be able to just tweak the
    image from that point forward.

    >Obviously cameras can vary in the particular model range, so doing the For (or similar) calibration will be specific to your camera.
    Since the output of the default JPEG rendering pipeline of current DSLRs is anything but calorimetrically accurate (it is designed to be pleasant, not to be used in a metrology laboratory), calibrating for accuracy is going to do little to make LR RAW output and in-camera JPEG processing come closer.
    And while the current incarnation of LR provides significant control over color, I still think it is not sufficient to reproduce some of the effects used in OEM RAW developers and in-camera JPEG processing.
    In particular, I am not convinced it is possible to reproduce Canon's handling of reds within LR using presets that would reproduce canon "Normal" picture style.

  • Sony F5 RAW footage goes offline when switched to slog2

    I am editing in Premiere Pro CC 2014, fully updated. I have a project with only Sony F5 RAW footage and some of the clips have gone offline when I opened the project this morning. Nothing has changed and it was working yesterday. I tried several things to no avail, and decided to just reimport the effected clips (which were indiscriminate across sequences and source locations). This worked fine, until I changed the source settings for the clips to slog2 and they immediately went offline again. Any idea what's going on? I would really rather not transcode everything.

    Hi Gordon,
    Could you send the project and that clip to us? We would like to have a deep look.
    I'm sending you a PM.
    Thanks,
    Fran

  • Help getting HD footage to SD DVD

    I have 1080p footage in pro res 422 (LT) and I am trying to find the best workflow for the best quality output to SD DVD.
    Here is what I have been doing:
    Once my sequence is finalized I export (command + e) to a QT movie, as a self contained movie. Close FCP.
    Then I drag this file into Compressor. Load the MPEG-2 Best quality 90 minute setting. Take this file into DVD studio Pro, and that's all.
    I know that going from 1920x1080 to SD there will be quality loss, but are there any suggestions that might help me get a little more boost??
    Thanks!!

  • I have a newer Sony FS100,  What is the best way I can get my footage into a workable format?

    It does not appear as an available camera during import mode, and when I try to import my video files any other way they are dimmed out and i can't even click on them. I should hope there will be support in the near future for this camera but until then, is there another application that anyone can suggest that will let me at least work with the video I have?

    Nick -
    This was my first "big" problem for the last 3 days with iMac and FCProX and my new Sony FS100. To make a long story short: Buy the latest versions of ClpWare amd install it (se end of this note). I got it yesterday after a lot of not-useful inreaction  - an then some *very useful interaction* - on this forum.... (and solution came after I began writing to the makers, Divergent.com) -  they knew IMMEDIATELY what was to be the solution for me - and told me/lined me to a (new?) version available that, when I got it, fixed all my SONY FS100U import / AVCHD/MTS problems. I was really overjoyed.
    To get there took almost all day. But I'm a giant step closer, now. Honestly. That is STEP ONE: get the proper version to import your files...it gets MUCH easier to work with the product once you have the native import issue resolved. Lots...
    So, I imported everything from the hi-speed SanDisk 32Gb card, finally, and in beautiful quality, just using the defaut "REWRAP" settings. (I have yet to try to import via the Pro Res or ProRes Proxy settings - but mabe today I will try...time and ENERGY permitting). I feel I need a day off from all of this, completely, after 3 days of angst and disappointment...but ultimately all which lead to a GREAT outcome. So for me it's [next] onto STEP 2: experimenting more with the product features, mastering more of them; outputting the size clips w/effects. etc and quality I want.
    This IS a different animal. But I still suppport it and its advent.
    One thing at a time...it is a huge learning curve since I am actually  working with 3 new technologies all at once (actually more  - that have nothing to do with FCProX video, directly...just indirectly....which I won't get into) - but again, below is the link to a FAST middleware transcoder (ClipWrap) that will get your AVCHD files into your Mac. Hopefully it's a fast Mac.
    I benchmarkd yesterday on both my Intel core5 iMac (very fast) vs. a slower MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo (?) - both have 8 Gb DRMM;  anyway - while the import worked just as well on either machine -  seemilngly just about as quickly on the MBPro, too...the playback from that laptop wasn't as [quite] perfect after rendering a clip, out with defaut settings (to keep things simple, for now)....but that ALSO may be because I decided to play devil's advocte while I was at it and imported/exported both the same AVCHD files to an Firewire 800 external HD on the MBPro, and secondly, re-imported. re-rendered and re-expoerted same clip to the MBPro *internal drive*...just to see what might happen in quality or playback speeds of a re-render. While both worked, the playback (via the "422 and H.264 codec output" experiments I did with the same, short 1.06 min. clip - but with  NO EFFECTS/transitions with that one, (unlike the iMac verison wich I loaded down, every few seconds, with numerous transitions) - the 1.06 min. test clips WERE, not surprisingly, different in playback. The AVCHD imported to and exported from the MBPro internal HD was a bit more "acceptable" in quality...but the import/export from my much faster iMac (internal HD)  tops everything. Hands down. If I do get a Thunderbolt machine...which I MIGHT, God willing and back account still permitting...I hope that new TB 15" fully-qoutfittd MacBook Pro I now have my eye on will result in still-better throughput - and NOT introduce a whole new layer of problems. God - I hope not...then there is LION coming...sheesh! What [new] problems might THAT indroduce???
    One needs to experiment a lot here, but once you are able to get the files in from the cam (finally, and easily) - things start to get way better. After that...it's the learning curve of what input / output settings/decsions suit your needs. That is the NEXT BIG curve ahead...for me at least.
    I really do like FDProX a lot..a REAL lot...but obviously, like allof us, I am still learing it.
    There is a lot to learn, obviously..just read along in this forum! FCProX has its own big "internal" curve to master, when it comes to details.
    I found and have been able to use the Precision Editor.. got a first-ever finally and easily) import of several AVCHD native clips "edited"...but got jumbled up - somewhere - (?) in the Precision Editor  - and over-duped/dubbed some of the part of the clips I cut up to see what would happen. So the end results with that clp were messed up to say the least...but it did output beautifully...I am still confused about the auto/background renderering and o-going "transcoding and analysis" issue....I sotp it and render out to QT format anyway..it seems to work...tho I id end up with the last moments of the PRditor version misssing the last few seconds...which I did OT deliberatelu splice out and delete!!
    Just plain old trial and error...now. Obviously I did something wrong (easy to do in a program as new as FCProX)....but again : I have YET to print out the manual or even read a page of it. So for that - considering how far I've gotten (a "surface scratch" only, still, to be honest) - it's a testament to what the program DOES do by iteself for you that helps you SOME with that learning curve...it's refining the editing/final cut output process for me, now - getting past the kinks or not-obvious pitfalls...I get there...we all will and we'll help one another along....and getting an output that looks and works the way I/we planned for in the final analysis.
    We're all stil learning here. Esp. me. I am out of energy. I've been asleep for the last 6 hours...and am headed back to bed. In 10 minutes!
    Here is the link to purchase the apparently tweaked and PROPER ClipWare version ($50  - worth it!) - and comment from Divergent; as noted: so, in review - I purchased it yesterday, that solved my AVCHD 1080p60 FS100 SONY cam/raw clip import issues and SAVED THE DAY - for now:
    (https://store.divergentmedia.com)  - "you'll receive a serial number which will unlock it after you buy it. It'll automatically update to the final release of 2.4.2 when we release that (after Lion ships)", from what I was told by Divergent.
    Best of luck,

  • Workflow with raw for editing (offline) and JPEG for viewing

    Hello,
    Up to this point I have been using both Lightroom and Aperture. I do my editing in Lightroom, my raw files are in indexed in Lightroom's catalog. I then export to JPEGs and store them in Aperture for viewing, (internet) export, archiving etc.
    I want to switch to a Lightroom-only workflow, so I have both my raw files and the JPEGs in one application, to minimize maintenance (keywords, collections, etc).
    The only issue I cannot seem to work around (and also exists in the current workflow) is that if at some point after the initial JPEG export I reedit a photo, I have to reexport, reimport, add to my stack (different versions of the image), update keywords etc etc.
    One obvious solution is not to export to JPEGs and keep the raws always available. But this is not local-space efficient.
    Any ideas how to handle this?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi ahalatsis,
    I understand the desire for having copies readily viewable outside Lightroom without having to export every time you wanna look at something. I recommend using a publishing service for accomplishing this goal, if not Lr's native hard drive publishing, then my (Rob Cole) TreeSyncPublisher or Jeffrey Friedl's Collection Publisher.
    Note: you can take raws offline after publishing, but they must remain in the catalog for editing...
    Whether to re-import jpegs upon publishing is an interesting question - I don't do it, in order to keep Lightroom "originals only", so if I see a photo in Lightroom, I can edit it and publish it without thinking. The downside: I have to use other programs for dealing with those exported jpegs (I use ACDSee for that, among others). So, some people like to re-import exported jpegs, and just be careful not to edit the jpegs - personal preference.
    There are some (relatively few) souls who prefer to edit raws, export jpegs back to catalog, then remove raws from catalog and archive them "just in case" (editing jpegs from there on out, if need be). While it's doable, and there are some plusses (e.g. making minor tweaks to such jpegs is very fast compared to raws), I can't recommend it, since it's too limiting, and most people shoot raw to be less limited (for example, re-editing 2003 raws using current (2012) process version).
    To be clear: photos do not have to be online for viewing (or editing of metadata) in Lightroom - that's what the "lib" previews are for. And you can even create "smart" previews and then photos don't even have to be online for editing in develop module (or exporting/printing at reduced quality) either. They do have to remain in the catalog though, even if offline.
    And to be doubly clear: if you don't have enough space on internal drive(s) for photo files, you can just put them on a big external drive in the first place, and never move them.
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • I need help getting this video into itunes and on my ipod.

    i don't know if this is possible...
    the band the films have a new music video "black shoes" on their website. www.the-films.com i got it on my computer and it plays as a movie in quicktime, but i can't figure out how to get it into itunes and on my ipod, if that's possible. i tried to open it in imovie and i couldn't get that to work either. any help would be awesome. thanks.

    To get it into iTunes go to file-->add to library and find the file.
    Try opening quicktime and open the file. Does it play there? It has to be able to play in QT otherwise iTunes will not accept it.

  • Help getting AVI files into PE12

    I have AVI videos from some cheap Hitachi HD cameras which won't load in PE12. The files load as just audio, but play back fine on the computer.
    I've read the various threads on similar issues but haven't found a good work around yet.
    GSpot shows the codec as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
    I have tried using FFMpeg to rewrap the files as mp4 as shown in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/854115 , but I just get an unsupported codec error when I import the mp4s.
    I've found that installing k-lite codec pack lets the video play, but the playback goes jerky after a few seconds.
    I copied the reports from GSpot and MediaInfo. I really want to find a way to get these working without doing full conversions of all the files each time, since this has damaged the quality in the past. If conversion is the only option, can anyone suggest exactly how to convert these files without losing any quality?
    Many thanks to anyone who can help.

    EHogger,
    As has been pointed out, the H.264 AVCHD CODEC, inside the AVI wrapper is non-standard, but some camera mfgrs. insist on doing that. The problem is that Premiere (either flavor) is not coded to look for H.264 inside an AVI. While AVI can contain a lot of different CODEC's, having H.264 inside is not what most programs expect.
    Hope that Neale's suggetion works for you.
    As far as editing ANY H.264 material, the main apect of a computer, that will come into play is the CPU. An underpowered computer will have issues playing it smoothly, as it takes a lot of CPU cycles to work with that material, under good circumstances. In the provided information, I did not see the specs. of your computer, but if the CPU is less than a very fast i5, playback performance may weill suffer.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Complete novice needs help getting SQL Query into Crystal Reports XI

    Post Author: MissMarnie
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    So I was given an intro level web course and a monster reference guide in prep to format a report. One of our developers wrote me everything I need for the report into a SQL Query and now I'm supposed to format it in CR XII literally do not know what to do from here. I'm able to set up the correct server as a datasource, if that's useful, but I don't know how to make the querey into a bunch of formattable fields in  CR. If anyone can walk me through this, I'd be so grateful. I've attempted to look up SQL query in both the help and the book but I keep hitting a wall. The help dialog says things like "press this button" with no reference to what "this button" is. I'm sure it's obvious to the knowledgeable but I'm in a complete fog. Thanks in advance

    IF you're trying to get assistance with setting up a query as the source for a report, try posting your Crystal version and the database type.
    Different software works differently.
    In CR 9 and above, under the connection to the database you'll see Add Command. Select that and you can paste the query in.
    As for not knowing how to generate a report, that requires experience, there's no generic solution of course..

  • When capturing HD, FCP breaks up the raw footage into many separate parts

    I'm using FCP and trying to capture some HD footage. When I try this, it captures, but all my footage (about 30 mins worth) is broken up by FCP into smaller segments, so instead of one single 30 minute file (which is what I usually get) I get 45 separate chunks that range from 2 minutes long to only 3 or 4 seconds. Obviously, this doesn't lend itself to very easy editing.
    I've captured HD without this problem before. I've also captured this exact same footage to iMovie HD without any problem, so I'm pretty sure it's not my tape. Anyone know why FCP would suddenly start doing this?
    I'm using a G5 iMac 20 with 2.5 megs of RAM and OSX 10.4.9
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I'm just using a Canon HV-10 as my "deck" and importing via FireWire 400.
    I think the problem was my external capture drive. I have only firewire 400 and I don't think it was fast enough to capture, so it broke it up. I could capture the entire thing in one shot if I captured direct to my internal hard drive but not to the external.
    Anyone know how to fix this beyond capturing to the internal drive and then transferring it over to the external one? I bought a 1 TB external firewire drive specifically for my HD projects and I'd like to be able to capture directly to it, if at all possible.
