Help please with capture / sequence settings for DVCAM PAL 16:9

Simple question but I'm baffled by choices for capture/sequence using FCP6 to capture 16:9 PAL DVCAM. Have tried esay set up (not enough options) and also sequence and capture settings manually too many options ) and always seem to end up with borders top and bottom, not full viewer / canvas at correct aspect ratio. Can someone tell me correct settings. I'm baffled by inclusion of 5:4 aspect ratio and whether in the compression box under advanced settings in the sequence settings bow I should select 4:3 or 16:9 and in the seq. settings box itself whether I should check anamorphic 16:9.In audio/video settings (summary tab) there's also a question about playback settings which is set to '(missing) apple firewire pal 720x568'. What's that about. Any assistance much appreciated.

Don't over think it. There's no reason why you should have to modify a capture preset in your situation. Use the easy setup for DV PAL 48 KHz Anamorphic (assuming your footage is anamorphic and not letterboxed). If you're seeing gray bars at the top and bottom of the canvas, hit ctrl-U to have the windows automatically adjusted to the right size. If you're seeing black bars, then your footage is probably letterboxed. You should use the regular DV PAL easy setup to capture that. If the Video Playback device is set to (missing) it's because your deck or camera is not turned on, or isn't connected to the computer.

Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, for tv hook up.

Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, to hook up to tv for streaming. The display works through VGA but the audio isn't working. Got a plug that goes into headphone jack on computer and connects into the audio jack on the back of tv but no sound. I'm not quite sure what the issue is, whether its the wrong plug, the tv, or the computer. Best Buy says this is the right plug and it seems that it would be, but who knows. If anyone has any experience in this, I would appreciate the help!

Make sure those audio plugs are matched with the VGA plug. With your MacBook running something with audio switch between your sources on the TV Component, Composite and such. See if the sound is coming from another source. If so then you've got your audio plugs in the wrong jacks.
Also could you post the make and model number of your TV.

Help with correct sequence settings for exporting QT

hi -- I am about to export a QT movie of a sequence in FCP. There are three different properties of clips in the sequence -- footage I shot on a Panasonic HD HMC150 was compressed with Apple ProRes422 and footage I shot on the JVCHD - can't remember model - uses the 720p24 codec. All other properties for these clips are the same.
I also use some archival footage in the sequence was shot at 29.97 fps, 720x480, compressed using the DV/DVCPro NTSC and a different pixel aspect.
I also use jpegs.
Here's the question. The Sequence Settings are HDV 720p24. Do I need to change the properties for the clips that don't match the Sequence Settings BEFORE I export a QT File? Or, do I export a QT file then import it back into FCP at the 720p24 setting and export that sequence as a QT file.
Thanks

ok here's the info everyone has been asking for -- and, please remember, I have solved the exporting QT to make a DVD now . . . .
The pressing issue is that, somewhere in the process -- the images that fit within the 16:9 got bigger so that less of the image is in the frame.
Sequence Settings:
ok here's the info everyone has been asking for -- and, please remember, I have solved the exporting QT to make a DVD now . . . .
The pressing issue is that, somewhere in the process -- the images that fit within the 16:9 got bigger so that less of the image is in the frame.
I made stills from the same frames in the different sequences to show the difference between them. Unfortunately, I can't attach these images in the forum.
So here's the sequence settings as of now for both the original and current sequences:
Easy Setup:
Format - HD
Codec - HDV 720p24
23.98 fps
1280x720
Sequence Settings:
1280x720
Aspect Ratio - hdtv 720p 16:9
pixel: square
compressor appleprores 422
Field Dominance - none
editing timebase: 23.98
Render Codec - same as sequence codec
Clip Codecs:
Primarily HDV 720p24
Some Apple ProRes 422
Archival Footage - Dv/DVCPRO NTSC
Okay, now here's where things start getting hairy. I read in the FCP manual today that I should convert the sequence setting to the same codec as the majority of the clips -- in this case that was 720p24. So I changed the sequence codec from AppleProRes 422 to 720p24. Then I rendered the sequence before exporting it as a QT file. -- not noticing until after I burned a DVD about the image size problem.
Now, this evening, while I was checking the settings of the older original sequences -- trying to figure out what went wrong -- I realized that the original sequence used the AppleProRes 422 codec!! So, I converted my current sequence from the 720p24 codec BACK to Apple ProRes 422 - hoping this might solve my larger image problem -- BUT the image size stayed the same. Am I just compressing over and over again and screwing up my sequences.
The weird thing is that MOST of the sequence copies that are not the original -- converted to the changed codec even though I had only the sequence I was changing open ---- there must be a reason for all this. I hope you all can figure it out for me. I've been spending hours at it.
Thanks again.

Help please, with port forwarding settings

I have an MSI RG60 wireless router (Ethernet hard wired to my XP Home PC) and don't know what settings to use for port forwarding, to enable my WinMX and BitTorrent clients to work successfully.
I have the port numbers, and assume that this information goes in the Service Port box, i.e. 6699, or 6881-6889.
I know which ports are TCP and which are UDP, but I don't know what IP address to enter or which Common Service Port type to choose. Can anyone help please?
I'm pretty sure that other settings in my PC are OK as I have successfully been running a Belkin router for a couple of years, and have only replaced it with the new MSI unit due to reliability problems.

It does indeed have port triggering, but it wants incoming and trigger port protocol info, along with trigger and incoming port numbers.
How can I type ipconfig into either of teh clients...WinMx or Bit Torrent?

Help please with a Static Initializer for ImageIcons inside Jar Files

At the moment I'm playing around displaying XML using A JTree
I am subclassing DefaultMutableTreeNode, and want it to have some default Icons set up....
Sort of like this:
public class XNode extends DefaultMutableTreeNode
    public static final ImageIcon icon;
   public static ImageIcon getIcon()
        return XNode.icon;
}The only thing is that for the life of me after trying various things and searching these forums and google:
I can't work out how to write the static Initializer for the ImageIcon.
The ImageIcon will need to be created using a URL, cos it will be inside my jar file.....
the usual...
           URL url = this.getClass().getResource("/images/Exit16.gif");
           ImageIcon Icon = new ImageIcon( url );but I wanted these Icons to be class members..............
Could someone help?
}

DrClap " I don't understand why you put Class.forName in there either"
A: Because I don't really know what I'm doing.
I will try that suggestion.
At present I have this:
     static ImageIcon loadIcon;
     static
          try
            loadIcon = new ImageIcon( Class.forName("cis.editor.xml.nodes.AlNode").getResource("/images/Exit16.gif"));
          catch( ClassNotFoundException cnfe )
               System.out.println("ClassNotFound: " + cnfe.getMessage() );
     public static final ImageIcon defaultIcon = loadIcon;
     static
          try
            loadIcon = new ImageIcon( Class.forName("cis.editor.xml.nodes.AlNode").getResource("/images/tree_folder_major.gif"));
          catch( ClassNotFoundException cnfe )
               System.out.println("ClassNotFound: " + cnfe.getMessage() );
     public static final ImageIcon commentIcon = loadIcon;
//.......... ANd so OnWhy? Because do far it was the only way I could get it to compile.
And It works..
However it's a real abortion.. codewise.
I need to load about 16 Icons that the various subclasses can 'use'
DefaultTreeCellRenderer - must do somethng similar because it has a bunch of Icons to "Pick from",
Only How is that done 'properly' ?

Help Please with searching Hard Drive for MP3's etc

Right I installed ITunes and in the install it said do you want ITunes to search your harddrives for MP3s to add to the library. Which I said Yes. I have all mu music on a 200gb External Hard Drive.
WHen it finished the search I had 5 files in my library that were on my desktop.
How do I ask ITunes to search my external harddrive for the rest of my music without importing individually??
Many Thanks in Advance

Just use the Add to Library command (under the File menu) and select the folder(s) on your external drive in which your music is stored.

Help with 24p capture/sequence settings and interlace artifacts

We are trying to capture sd video shot on a panasonic DVX 100B at 24p (not advanced) using FCP 6.02.
The video was shot anamorphic (squeeze) through the camera.
We have tried a variety of capture and sequence setting and continue to get varying degrees of artifact (lines) at motion points (e.g. when a hand moves).
We have tried:
Capture Easy set-up 29.97
Capture Anamorphic 29.97
We have tried changing field dominance to none.
We have experimented with both interlace and progressive scan.
We have experimented with different playback units including the camera shot with.
Would love some advice on best capture sequence settings. Playback will be computer/video projector.

It's sounds like you've been mislead about what 24p (as opposed to 24p Advanced) actually is on tape - it's interlaced 29.97 footage. So, what you're seeing is normal - there should be three progressive frames followed by 2 interlaced frames (since it's pulldown added to 23.98 material).
So, to get to the heart of your question, you are capturing correctly - Anamorphic 29.97.
If you want true progressive output, strip the pulldown - use Cinema Tools - and edit as 23.98. Otherwise, if you can't go 23.98, you're stuck with what you've got.

Film shot on 16mm, now on DVCAM - proper capture/sequence settings?

Hey everyone,
Question on workflow for a short which is already in post. Editor put it in a 24 timeline, thinking that's a mistake. Please clarify what capture/sequence settings should be. The final output of this film will be digital (either HDCAM or DVD or both) but it will not go back out to film.
1) Shot on super-16mm film at 24fps.
2) Output at Fotokem to DVCAM (not sure at what, but assume 29.97, right?)
3) Captured at 29.97.
4) Sequence is currently at 24. But thinking this should be at 29.97.
5) What should the final export be to online at Fotokem?
Upper left dailies timecode looks like its 24fps and lowerleft looks like its 29.97fps and they sink up.

Call fotokem tomorrow to confirm what rate they did the telecine. It will most likely either be 23.98 or 29.97. It seems that through your findings so far that it is 29.97. If that's true, yes- it should be captured at 29.97.
To edit, start a new project using the easy setup menu under the final cut pro pulldown menu. Select the DV50 NTSC settings.
cut.
Regarding final output, you should output it as the same codec that it was brought in, in this case, export to DVCAM. Don't do minidv as it will compress your bit rate and give you less options in the final online session.

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
Product: D110a all-in-one
OS: Windows XP Professional
Error messages: None
Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
trunk is a round, solid object.
I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

Hi everyone,
I noticed the following message when network starts on my gateway
Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
brazzmonkey,
you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
Use, f.e., netcfg:
Comment your old lines.
In /etc/rc.conf insert:
NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
First one is named Eth0-dhcp.
Contents:
CONNECTION="ethernet"
DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
INTERFACE=eth0
HOSTNAME="your hostname"
IP="dhcp"
DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
Second one is named Eth1-static.
Contents:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='whatver'
INTERFACE='eth1'
HOSTNAME='hname'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.10'
GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
Hope it helps.
mektub
PS: netcfg must be installed.

Sequence settings for HD

what are the exact sequence settings for cutting 1080i60 footage in FCP? From my understanding; it's 1920 X 1080 with 59.94fps. But what fields should render first; upper or lower? I also need to know this info for using After Effects; I need to know the specifications so I can render my animations.
If there is anything else I should know, please let me know. thanks.

Open your preset in FCP or check your sequence settings and all that information will be there.

Proper sequence settings for importing Canon Rebel T2i footage

Greetings, all. I searched the forum and didn't find this question answered elsewhere, so I thought I'd ask.
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, version 4.2.1, and I'm trying to find the ideal sequence settings for the Canon Rebel T2i, which records in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, with adjustable frame rate. I am running on Apple Mac OSX 10.8.2.
I've been editing with this footage for over a year now, and it's always been a struggle because I have to render all footage before I can even play it in Premiere. When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow.
I'd like to see if I'm doing this incorrectly; to know if I have a simple sequence setting that's incorrect. What sequence settings should I use for my imported footage to start out green and not require a lengty render for video that isn't even edited yet?
Thank you,
-Matt

>When first imported, the render bar above the timeline is yellow
I think this is written for CS5, but the concept should be the same
