HVR-V1u HVR-1500 capture Easy Setup

Hello,
Shot on V1U 1080i 30p - now capturing off of HVR1500, it's only reading 1080i60 though...
I captured at Easy setup HDV 1080p30 for the last few tapes, but it felt a tad jumpy... the setting on camera was 30p 1080i, a mix of interlaced and progressive? So the 1080p30 was the wrong setting?
So I looked online, and in the release notes for 6.0.2 it says to capture for Sony HVR-V1 1080p30 on easy setup 1080i60 - the progressive scan will be preserved... is the V1 the same as V1u? Do I still capture 1080i60? Or was that an older model?
Does playback on the HVR1500 change the easy setup since it can only play back 60i?
It also says to use the Apple Intermediate Codec, but that takes up too much HDD space.
Any suggestions?

Capture it as 1080i HDV, or 1080i ProRes. Place it in a sequence, and say yes when it asks to conform the sequence. Then look in the A/V settings window and create your own easy setup for this.
I've not looked to see if there is an easy setup already for this, but if there isn't, then you can create one once you've decided whether to capture as HDV or ProRes... I'd choose ProRes because it's 10 bit so graphics will look better, and it encodes to DVD's or web streams faster, and it renders faster. File sizes are larger with it however.

  • DVD capturing - What setting on Easy Setup?

    Hello,
    I'm caputuring video from my DVD player which is : connected RCA to a Canopus converter box : out firewire and into the Macbook.
    When I capture the video, I get the message saying "Audio/Video rate may not match sample..." after I'm finished capturing.
    I have no idea which setting in Easy Setup to choose from.
    It is currently set at: DV - NTSC 32 kHz
    Any suggestions?

    If you are capturing via a box like the Canopus ADVC-110 (any model, actually), you should use the DV NTSC DV Converter easy setup. (Assuming you're in the US, that is.) Select this easy setup BEFORE you create a new sequence and/or try to capture anything from the Canopus. Also make sure that the Canopus box itself is set for NTSC, not PAL.
    You should NOT use the DV NTSC 32KHz easy setup.

  • No DVCPRO HD 720p25 or 720p50 Easy Setups - how can I capture??

    Well I admit I haven't used my Panny HVX200 for a few weeks, but now I have a new project and find to my horror that the only Easy Setups in FCP 5.1.4 are for the US +(DVCPRO HD 720p24, 30 or 60)+.
    What happens to those of us who need 25 or 50?
    +(I'm hoping I don't suddenly need a capture card)+.

    Hi, I have just posted a topic like this! I own a JVC and I have done some footage at 50p... And it looks like (to me) that FCP can not handle it.
    What is the solution?
    As soon as I have some answer I will let you know.

  • Are Easy Setups with Custom Capture and Sequence Presets Portable?

    Hi,
    I created some Custom Capture and Sequence Presets. Then I created some Easy Setups that use these presets.
    Can I copy the Easy Setups to another machine or do I need to create or copy the Custom Presets in order for the Easy Setups to work?
    If I need to copy or create the Custom Presets how can I copy them (which files do they live in)?
    Thanks!
    Mitch

    Hi Jerry,
    Thanks for the reply. The Easy Setups are in the directory you mentioned but the Custom Presets are not.
    My question is are the custom presets used by the Easy Setup contained inside the Easy Setups? If not are there files I can copy or do I need to manually create them on the second Mac?
    Since the other Mac is 50 miles away I have no easy way to test this. If there are files I can bring rather than redoing the custom presets that would be quite a bit easier.
    Thanks Again!

  • Probook 6545b & Hauappauge HVR-1500 Express card tuner: complete lockups!

    HP Probook 6545b
    XP Pro w/sp3, AMD M600 2.4 GHz processor, 2GB memory, 26 processes at startup, less than 300 MB of memory used. Video chipset is a ATI HD 4200. Maximum processor usage on a full HD channel is 70%. usage averages around 60%. Not the greatest, but surely it's not maxing out the system.
    Hauppauge HVR-1500 Express card HDTV tuner currently running WinTV V6 (designed for XP). I also tried V7 and Sage TV V6.6 & V7.  BTW, this is the same tuner HP has sold separately before Hauppauge sold it.
    Now before anyone goes on about AMD and the 4200, I know neither are the 'fastest' choices. The processor choice was made by design, (Wintel has never been on my shopping list) though I'm very disappointed in the 4200 as I expected better results. Anyway, I don't think it's the video chipset causing the lockup. As far as the Express card choice (I believe there are only two Express cards, this and the AVerMedia Mini), I didn't want one of those USB sticks that hang out 6-8" prone to get pulled out, broken off or just in the way.
    The Laptop completely locks up forcing a hard shutdown (holding the Pwr. button four seconds) and power up again, No pattern to it. It could be as little as 60 seconds after the program & tuner is started, or after 60 minutes. (ball park figures)
    I tried re-installing the drivers and software, but no real difference. I have the latest drivers from HP, but possible not the latest ATI drivers. One support guy from Hauppauge claims it's the processor. Their specs call for a 2.2GHz or faster processor. This is a 2.4. Windows reports a 1.58GHz processor which brings another question; is this relevant?

  • Easy setup for capturing 12 bit Hi8 through a mini DV camera?

    Hi,
    I have some old Hi8 tapes that are recorded in 12 bit audio. Unfortunately the easy setup for a converter doesn't seem to let you specify 12 bit audio, so I'm getting awful sync problems. I know I could record all the footage onto mini DV tapes, but is there an alternative? Is there any way of adding an easy setup that would do what I want?
    Mark
    Dual 2.5 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   FCE 3.5HD

    If you just use the MiniDV camera in passthrough mode, it will work fine. The audio out of the Hi8 should be analog, which specifies no specific bit depth. So as long as you have your MiniDV set up to 16bit, that's what it will send to the computer.

  • Missing Easy Setup File 1080i50

    Hi guys
    Just upgraded to Sony HDV camera (HVR-A1E) PAL (UK). Pop into FCP5.x easy setup menu for capture and only settings are for 1080i60. Where is the 1080i50 gone? Cannot capture more than a few seconds of HD before dropped frame rate window pops up. Can capture HDV in iMovie, but when you try to import into FCP it gets upset! Using iMacG5 2GHz with 1Gb RAM.
    Any thoughts, or anyone who can put me in touch with the missing file or instructions on how to set it all up manually would be GREAT!
    Cheers
    Paul

    Just gives me a new list to choose from when I start program. The list contains only one version of HDV which is the 1080i60! So that didn't help. Any other ideas!
    Cheers

  • Easy Setup Setting

    I have shot 24p on mini digital tape using a Sony HVR V1U camera. It's an HDV format camera. Using Final Cut Pro 6, what should my easy setup setting be?

    Wow, thanks for this information! I looked everywhere. I have gotten different answers from various people. Some have suggested I simply use the Easy Setup: "HDV 1080i/60." I will try both including your ProRes format.

  • FCP 7.0.3 Easy Setup audio setting issues

    I have created two custom Easy Setups.
    SD:     DVCPro50 PAL with audio set @ 48.000 kHz, 16-bit, 16 chan
    HD:     DVCProHD 1080i 25fps with audio set @ 48.000kHz, 24-bit, 16 chan
    I open FCP, load the SD easy setup.  I then click on Audio/Video settings.
    Select "Audio/Video Settings" and view "Capture Presets Summary"
         - Audio format is listed as 48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan
    Select"Edit" and "Capture Preset Editor" comes up.
         - UnderQuicktime Audio Settings:
              - Device:  AJA Kona 3
              - Format:  48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan
    If I then select the HD Easy Setup, and then "Audio/Video Settings"
    Select"Edit" and "Capture Preset Editor" comes up.
         - UnderQuicktime Audio Settings:
              - Device:  AJA Kona 3
              - Format:  48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan (THIS SHOULD BE 24-bit)
    Select the "A\V Device" tab:
    The audio device has defaulted to the 16 bit setting as well.
    It appears that FCP or AJA is keeping the audio bitrate from the previous Easy Setup.
    Even if we close FCP completely, and reopen into a new project, load the HD Easy Setup, the bit rate still shows as 16.
    I have tried deleting the following:
    apple.finalcutpro.plist

    Thanks,

    The camera definitely recorded in SP, that icon was visible on the viewfinder...
    What settings should i be using in FCP to capture the video? From attempted research i found most comments suggesting to use a basic Firewire settings. i have used this in PAL format but the results are poor.
    One thing I am confused about is the 32khz or 48khz settings. Which should i be using? I have an older version of FCE 4 where there are many settings for both 32khz and 48khz for DV FireWire but in FCP7 there are only options for 48khz.
    Any advice would be welcomed at the moment.
    I am also willing to upload clips of what I have to demonstrate visually the poor quality video I am capturing from the Canon

  • Easy Setup Suggestions

    Hi everyone,
    ok, once again a silly question, but apparently in the past I committed mistakes so...
    I'm shooting HDV with an HDR FX1, will import as SD for sake of time and hard drive space. Final destination will be DVD and TV.
    What easy setup should I use? In the past I used DV-NTSC but Tom once asked me why I had choosen that... especially when I had to use the filter "widescreen" to crop transitions and other effects. If I had choosen the right setup that wouldn't have been necessary.
    My camera will output SD 720X480 footage letterboxed. What is the best setup for timline and output????
    Is there any reading I could do about the different setups?
    THANK YOU!!!!!!
    Umberto
    iBook-hopefully soon a ProBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    DV is always 720x480 (NTSC anyway) whether it's anamorphic or letterboxed for not. I am pretty sure that camera will output a DV anamorphic signal as well as a letterboxed signal. Read the manual to figure out how to do this. It sounds as if you're sending a letterboxed signal to FCE, not an anamorphic one. When you say it's stretched, which way is it stretched, up and down, or left and right? It should look correct in the capture window.

  • Easy Setup for 24p Question

    I have footage shot in standard 24p (F5 on the DVX camera)
    I will be editing on a 23.98 timeline
    I am also working with some 24pA material, so we're planning to use Cinema Tools to convert the standard 24p material for use in the timeline.
    In Easy Setup there is one choice for DV-NTSC
    And another DV-NTSC 24p (23.98)
    Confusing! Especially since I'm going to be editing in a 23.98 timeline. I know that the material on the tape, whether shot in 24p or 24pADV is 29.98; I'm just confused about which of these capture presets to choose
    I knew this information at one point but it has decided to either go to sleep or exit my brain entirely.
    thanks for any clarification you can offer

  • Easy setup 1280x720

    Hi!
    I just got a new camera, with wich i record in 1280x720, 4MBps, 25p.
    Is this HD?
    And, more important, what "easy setup" should i choose for my final cut pro sequence, in order to make the importation on my time line easy and quick, and render the effects with efficiency as well...?
    Thanks!!!
    Oh, and if you know, what export format do you recommand for a big screen public projection?
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Marinette

    I think you may want to rethink this. Normally, you want to capture in the highest quality possible, edit in as lossless a format as possible, and then deliver the presentation version in the format required for projection.
    This is is even more important when

    But this is all up to you.
    If you are sticking with MP4, download (free) MPEG Streamclip from
    http://www.squared5.com
    and convert your source files to ProRes LT. Your files sizes will increase many times over during the conversion, as the video will be "unpacked" from the highly compressed MP4 format into a format suitable for editing.

  • Easy setup for Panasonic AG-HMC40P

    I have the camera settings to capture at 1080/60i.  I burn to regular DVD, not blueray.  Can you please tell me what the easy setup should be in FCP? Once I'm finished editing in FCP, I output to QT movie and then into iDVD.  

    Click on one of the ingest camera files in the FCP Browser. Once it is selected, type Command + 9 to see the properties for the clip. Either report those properties here or take a screen shot of the item properties and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those settings here or take a screen shot of your Sequence Settings and post that screen shot here.

  • Shot in 60i on a DVX100B, FCP easy setup?

    Hi, I have been using a Panasonic DVX100B (NTSC) in 24PA mode and capturing/editing in FCP, I'm very happy, not too much trouble.
    now I have tried to shoot in 60i mode (scene 1), I cannot find an easy setup preset....
    1: What's the best capture setting for this?
    2: Should I set my sequence to the same as Q1?
    3: This footage will be going to my website as either a QT movie or Flash so am I doing the correct thing shooting in 60i?
    4: If I do eventually send this to DVD is it still wise to use 60i?
    I have tried to duplicate a preset and choose a frame rate of 60, but I'm not 100% this is correct because as soon as I try to log and capture it says it dropped frames, it won't even capture anything.
    This will probably be the first of many posts as I'm trying to take in as much info as possible, but it's not sticking... LOL
    Thanks
    C.

    DV/NTSC 29.97. 60i just means 60 interlaced fields...which works out to 30 frames...and all DV runs at 29.97...so...
    DV/NTSC 29.97. No advanced pulldown...just the basic setting.

  • How to create custom Easy Setups in Final Cut Express 4

    I've been searching the web hours on end trying to find an answer to this question. Basically, here's the deal. I have a whole bunch of clips in 720p HD, at 60 fps with some other custom settings that aren't supported by Apple's default easy setups. I need a way to edit or create an easy setup to fit my needs for editing this type of video.
    Thanks for any help,
    Justin

    JTK-
    If you want to create your own easy setup configurations you will need Final Cut Pro (in Final Cut Studio).
    FCE is designed to handle DV (NTSC or PAL) and Apple Intermediate Codec. (HDV and AVCHD are transcoded to Apple Intermediate Codec during capture.) Regarding high def video, FCE is designed to work with 720p30, 1080i50 and 1080i60.
    Generally it's best to convert nonstandard video to QuickTime using one of the above codecs before importing the video into FCE.
