HVX-200 Scene File Settings

I recently purchased the HVX-200 after 2 years of using the dvx-100a. I was wondering if anyone out there had some good scene file settings that they wouldn't mind sharing. I have made up a few that I have used on the dvx that I like, but they don't seem to translate as well when plugging them in value for value on the hvx. I'm not too fond of the factory presets and wanted to hear any decent success stories. Thanks.

If you are using fcp 5 and up all you have to do is right click in your browser and click on the import panasonic p2. A different window pops up where you can choose which mxf files to import. You can set in and out points and rename the clips. Fcp then converts the files to quicktime.

  • Importing Panasonic HVX-200 files into FCP

    I just bought a Panasonic HVX-200 camera and am having problems importing my footage. The P2 card is mounted on my desktop (it is attached via firewire to a external hard drive) and I see all the media files (audio/clip/proxy/icon/ video/voice). According to the manuel I launch FCP and within the File/Import menu I should see "Panasonic P2". This is not there. I am unsure how to proceed.
    Thanks!

  • Difference Between 720p30pn and 720p30p on HVX-200 for Music Video Shoot

    I'm shooting a music video on the HVX-200. I'm new to the camera and the manual offers little explanation as to the difference/advantages/disadvantages between 720p30pn and 720p30p recording format. I want to shoot VFR (variable frame rates) and mix it with the footage which I think only works with the 720p30p recording format.
    Does anyone know the differences/advantages/disadvantages of 720p30pn and 720p30p?
    As I'm going for the "film look" of 24fps, which setting on the camera do I use? I'm assuming that I use the 720p30 recording format setting and not the 720p24 as I'm obviously not outputting to film, but then again, I could be wrong.
    I do know when I was testing the P2 workflow that when I was doing the VFR (variable frame rate), it was unplayable even with rendering on FCP 5.1. I'm sure I had some funky disconnect between the recording frame rate and sequence settings on FCP. Does anyone know which recording format works integrating both footage shot at 1x and variable and what is the corresponding sequence setup settings on FCP?
    Thanks for the help.

    Why not shoot 720/24pNative for the "film look."
    With the default frame setting in the video or the film mode?
    You will mimic part of the "film look" out of the cam rather than addressing it in post, and you increase the amount of footage that can be recorded to a p2 card by recording only 24 frames rather than an over 60 recording.
    Play with the scene files for the look you want to add to the "film look."
    Remember that the shallow DOF characteristic of the "film look" can't be readily achieved with a stock HVX200.

  • Output to P2 cards on Panasonic HVX 200

    When I print to video using the DVC Pro HD Firewire to a Panasonic HVX 200, the audio goes into mono mode, even though the original file is in stereo. I have a big presentation to more than 400 on Friday. Any thoughts about how to fix this? Here's what I've tried:
    1. Went to audio/video settings:av devices. The options button doesn't let me make any changes--and shows eight channels of audio. (When I do print to video and select built in audio, it does play on my computer speakers in stereo.)
    2. I've also tried to go into User Preferences:audio outputs. The only thing I could change was the grouping (stereo or dual mono) There was an option fo rchanging the outputs to more than 2, but I don't believe that would work.
    If I can't I'll probably need to show it as a DVD instead of in high def., which would be very disappointing.

    720 pN24 records 24 frames/sec not 29.97 with pull down added. This means there is a longer time between each progressive frame than people who are used to viewing standard video can get a grip on. It can look "stuttery".
    Camera movement while recording at cinematic rates requires very smooth, very deliberate moves as well as attention to the shutter settings.
    There is a formula (someplace) that relates camera panning movement to field of view to frames per sec to shutter.

  • Does Premiere Elements support DVCPRO-HD? How do I ingest and work with HD-footage from HVX-200?

    Hi there,
    I work with Premiere Elements 11 on a windows PC, and I try to ingest HD-footage from Panasonic HVX-200 Camcorder. Premiere Elements only recognizes thumbnails, but not the footage itself? What do I have to do? Or does Elements only support SD-footage? Do I have to install DVCPRO-HD Codec? Where do I get it then?
    Thanks for your help!, yours Mike

    Welcome to the forum.
    PrE does support HD material, just not all of it.
    With DVCPRO HD on P2 media, I am not sure that you will be able to work directly with the media files from your Panasonic in PrE. This is the list of supported formats: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WSeffff8bffc802084-1665492e133c9c19956- 8000.html#WS300DE01D-F057-4639-96D1-F99EEE163C24
    PrPro can Import and edit DVCPRO HD on P2 media. The Panasonic P2, along with its metadata is supported: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.html

  • HVX 200 and FCP 4.5 - workflow RAIDS?

    Hello,
    I am about to embark on a show editing footage captured on the Panasonic HVX 200, shot in 1080i/24p. This will be my first time working with the P2 cards and setting up a raid array catering to the specifics of this project. The show was captured on those P2 cards. The shots are totaled at 1.5TB of MXF files. I have many questions. First off
    1. What happens to the MXF files when FCP unwraps them, do they get bigger or smaller
    2. What is the most efficient raid set up to edit on, in terms of speed and transfer rate
    3. What is the most efficient back up system?
    4. Will an offline edit be troublesome, due to the time code on the P2 cards
    5. Will I need to edit at full resolution? What is the data transfer rate at full res? Will 400fw drives be able to handle this, or do I need 800, or even an esata raid solution.
    Please suggest any gear, or certain models of drives. I am looking for the cheapest solution w/out compromising performance
    I will be editing the show on a power Mac G5 1.8 GHZ, 3.5 GB of ram, do you think I need more ram? Is my computer fast enough to edit this sort of a project?
    Thanks for the input, you guys and gals always come through

    First and foremost, watch this tutorial:
    P2 Workflow Tutorial
    1. They stay the same size. All that happens is that a quicktime wrapper is wrapped around them, and audio and video are combined. No loss is quality occurs.
    2. A SATA RAID will do you fine, but honestly I have been editing this and Varicam footage using 2 G-Raid firewire 800 drives. You need at least a firewire 800 drive, but I'd recommend a SATA Raid. Sonnet, Weibetech, Firmtek and Burly boxes...all work well.
    3. Copy the P2 cards to field drives. Bring them in and transfer to firewire drives. These drives are your TAPE MASTERS. Do not erase these, do not lose these. Store these as your would field masters. I myself use internal SATA drives in a single firewire case that I swap out the drives. Cheaper than multiple enclosed drives. From there you import to your Media drives...your SATA Raid.
    4. No need to offline. DVCPRO HD really doesn't take up that much space...roughly twice what DV takes. Oh...you are going 1080 24p. That takes 42.12 GB/hour DV takes about 13GB/hour.
    5. Editing at full resolution is fine and easy. But you will not be able to get away with firewire 400 drives. As I said, FW800 or greater. 1080i might require more, thus the need for the SATA Raid.
    I believe that you need at least a Dua 1Ghz machine for DVCPRO HD, and you have that...and you have enough RAM...so you are good. The only choking point you will have is render times. Especially when compressing for DVD. 90 min show took me 14 hours...oof.

  • HVX-200 import blurry (double-images) into CS4?!

    I am using Premiere CS4 and I imported footage from Panasonic HVX-200 shot at 720PN 24p format.
    I am importing using the 720P 24P DVCPROHD preset.
    For some reason all my footage comes out blurry (I see double images when a subject moves, as if I have frames blending together)
    Can someone tell me what may be causing this?
    Thanks,

  • Panasonic HVX-200 in 720p 24N mode

    I'm about to edit a project shot on a Panasonic HVX-200 in 720p 24N mode (native 24 fps). The end product is for broadcast television, should I change the quicktime video settings (Compressor) to HDV 720p24? Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can offer. VEC.

    HDV? LORD NO! You shot DVCPRO HD...don't muck it up by making an HDV sequence.
    Choose the DVCPRO HD 720p24 Easy Setup and you'll be good to go.

  • Panasonic HVX-200 and FCPX import issue

    I'm using a Panasonic HVX-200 and having trouble importing the data from the P2 cards into FCPX. I get this error message: The following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera:  The files play as long as the camera is connected, which is useless in the long run.

    I was on the phone today with several terrific Apple techs for about five hours and we may have gotten to the bottom of this.
    FCPX works well with many different recording formats of the HVX 200 and the p2 cards. But I have had issues with importing 720/30PN footage. It just would not work.
    After many hours of trouble shooting with me on the phone, the Apple tech was able to replicate the problem on an HVX 200 at their office.
    Apparently FCPX works with HVX 200 1080i, 480i, just about any footage except the 720 set.
    He opened an inquiry with the FCPX engineering department and they are looking into it.

  • Panasonic HVX 200, P2 PAL 720P/25P/PN editing

    Hi, does anyone know is there coming and when if it, PAL 720P/25P/PN edit to FCP. Is there any other program where you can edit 720P/25PN files on mac? If not, what program for PC is best for that? I bought Panasonic HVX 200 video camera (also, bought new Quad-Mac and 30" studio display) and realized that I can't edit 720P/25PN files on my mac. EVEN THEY says on Apple's page that "View and browse P2 devices, then transfer the files you need directly into the Final Cut Pro 5 Browser....." but did not found that FCP is not supporting PAL ! I put 15 000 dollars on P2 editing system, not to able edit what I want...

    720p25 is no officially supported format in general.
    Only 720p50 is a real standard. However there is a
    so called 2:2 pulldown where you double the frames,
    also called 25p over 50p. This only concerns a
    transparent video signal via HD-SDI. Speaking about
    the Panasonic HVX200 is another story as this is a
    file based workflow.
    Here you can find an article how to capture, edit and
    monitor 720p50 in FCP 5.1:
    http://www.aulich-adamski.de/en/perm/720p50-capturing-editing-in-final-cut-pro
    This is also helpful for JVC GY-HD users that could use
    an HDV to HD-SDI converter.
    An second article describes the Panasonic P2 workflow
    with 720p25 and 72p50 but it's currently only in german:

  • Problem recording live feed HVX-200 in 1080/24p on my computer

    Hey,
    I have been able to get a live feed from my HVX 200 onto the MacBook Pro at the Apple Store. I set the digitize tool to non-controllable device and to the corresponding codec selected on the camera and it works perfectly fine. When I try this on my laptop I can't get it to work. FCP sees my camera when both are set to DV NTSC, but any of the DVCPRO HD settings don't work. I feel like I have tried everyting, is there anything else anyone can suggest to solve this problem?
    Thanks

  • HVX 200 - PC Drive - Final Cut Pro

    Hello,
    I'm a few days away from shooting a piece with the HVX 200 cam.
    I'll be using a PC laptop to transfer the footage from the P2 cards to a brand new G-Raid2 external drive.
    That drive will then be handed over to the editors who will be using Final Cut Pro to cut the piece.
    Are there any issues I should consider? Will Final Cut Pro be able to handle the P2 footage properly, although that footage will have been put on the brand spanking new G-Raid drive with a PC?
    Thanks.
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Okay.
    Because I wanna make sure I understand, let me push you a bit further in your explanation:
    a) A USB2 drive (with hopefully a firewire capability too), formatted to FAT32, would work. Fine. But isn't it that FAT32 formatted drive can't take files that are over 4 GIGs in size? It now looks like I couldn't even upload P2 files on such drive because of that limit. Correct me if I'm wrong.
    b) Let's say that the FAT32 formatted USB2/Firewire drive works anyway (no size limit problem), are you saying that the editor would be able to import such files in FCP before exporting them as Quicktime files?
    c) Would the editor be able to store media on that drive, and use it as any other drive?
    (Note: this is turning into a nightmare, so I am indeed looking into borrowing a Mac from a friend)

  • Recording an HVX-200

    What are the proper settings for recording an HVX-200?
    Thanks!

    HELLO MARK,
    Sorry about my choice of translation, What I was referring to was the live video stream, if I want to record live video without a P2 card or tape in the camera and record it directly to ON LOCATION in my laptop .I assume this can only be done with the start and stop controls in ON LOCATION not from the controls on my camera..
    If I am correct with this does the FOCUS FS 100 work the same way..
    p.s. Can I record live video straight to the FS. harddrive using the FS controls with no tape or P2 card in the camera
    and thanks a lot for all your help...

  • Source distributi​on, source file settings, files not goint to the desired destinatio​n directory

    I am tring to set up a number of source distributions for a handful of unique but related programs in LabView 8.0.1.  All of the programs have their own unique tasks to comple but they all use a set of basic sub vi's that I wrote.  Basically I could have put all those sub vi's into a .lib file but chose not to for the sake of simplicity.  Also each program calls a number of vi's from the set of LabView libraries.  To summarize what I want to do with my distribution structure; I created four destination directories: First the top level destination directory, the top level vi of each program will live there.  Second I made the Support Directory which contains all of the unique sub vi's that are required by the top level vi.  Third I mad a Common Support directory which will contain all of the basic sub vi's that all of my programs use. And fourth I made a Library Support directory which will contain all LabView library vi's.  The top level destination directory is superior to the other three directories and the other three directories are at a pier level.
    My problem is when I assign the locations for the vi's in the Source File Setting category. The destination directory for all of my Dependencies vi's (basically all of the LabView library vi's) is not obeyed.  I want all of those vi's to appear in my Library Support directory, but when I generate a preview they don't appear in the assigned directory.  All other destination directories are obeyed and appear correctly.  I do not know what I am doing incorrectly.  I have attached a few screen shots to help explain my structure and where it is not working.
    Any help is appreciated,

  • Applicatio​n Builder Source File Settings

    I've recently upgraded to the full version of LV 8.2 and purchased the license for the application builder.  On the "Source File Settings" tab I would like the program to not run when opened, and not to show the tool or scroll bars.  Although I've tried several different check, uncheck combination my final .exe alwyas has these options enabled.  I checked my original VI properties and it is not set to run at start up.  I'm not even sure what the "Value" highlight section is for.  My program is a simple temperature monitor and aquisition program with no sub-vi's.  What am I overlooking?
