HVX200 footage and timeline with 16mm telecine footage?

I am shooting a documentary with mostly HVX200 footage in the 720p 24PN mode. I am also shooting about 30 minutes of 16mm footage then doing a telecine pass with my colorist. How can I keep everything in the same format? I was thinking I could rent the Panasonic AJ-HD1200A deck and bring it to my telecine session so they can patch it into their bay/system. I could lay down the 16mm transfer down to DVCPROHD with that deck correct? Is there a special setting on the deck where I could lay it down as 23.98 to match my HVX200 material? Or does it lay it down as 60p and I just capture it at 23.98? Any suggestions would be great!

Chris. It's Saturday. The weekend. The morning after Cinco de Mayo. If we aren't with our families, or recovering from hangovers or enjoying a day off...then we are working...like me. sigh.
If they telecine to DVCPRO HD, they will have to do it at 720p24 but at 59.94 fps. This way when you capture it, you choose 720p24 and the advanced pulldown SHOULD be removed.
But I cannot say for sure...for I haven't done this nor do I have the deck. But I do know that 720p24 footage shot at 60fps on a varicam removes the pulldown nicely to 23.98 and it intercuts well with 24PN footage from the HVX. But the varicam flags the footage as 23.98 while recording 59.94. I am not sure if the HD1200 deck can as well.
You can try posting this onthe Creative Cow in the FCP forum or even the Varicam forum. A few people there have those decks.

25fps footage to put on PAL and NTSC DVDs - Inverse Telecine?

So, I've shot and edited a short item in 25P from my PAL HVX200...
I'd like to create a 'movie feature'-style NTSC DVD. One that has MPEG-2 files with inverse telecine flags to tell the NTSC decoder to repeat the fields to pull up the footage to 29.97fps.
Does that mean I need to scale my footage from 720w by 576h down to 720w by 480h, set the speed to 95.904% to 23.976fps? Can I do this in Compressor? Will Compressor take the audio and speed it up too, but keep the pitch the same?
That will get me a 24P NTSC file. How do I encode this as an MPEG for an NTSC DVD?
If I wanted to create a 'progressive' PAL MPEG for DVD (with the inverse telecine flags), are they encoded as 576 by 720 frames at 23.976fps, or at 24fps?
In the PAL world, a bit in one of the 50 non-broadcast lines is used to tell TVs and DVD players that the content is anamorphic. Is there an equivalent for NTSC? Does Compressor take care of that?

Hey Alex
a little confused here, but from what i can gather:
you have a movie shot @ 25 fps (PAL)
you want to make a NTSC dvd and a PAL DVD, is this correct from the above source and make sure they are progressive?
well ok the PAL one is easy, just take your source video into compressor and in the frame control tab, make sure that your ouput field is progressive.
the NTSC DVD is a little tougher. do you have FCP?
the only difficulty i do see, like you said was the audio pitch/speed.
i guess you CAN do a conversion in compressor, but how well it looks.. dont know i will run some tests and let you know

FCP Crash when opening log and transfer with some AVCHD footage on a card

Hi,
I'm using a freshly (re)installed version of FCP 7 on a brand new macbookpro loaded with 8gb ram and equipped with a small 2ghz Intel Core i7
I get footage shot on Panasonic ag-hmr10 minicams coming on SD cards as AVCHD footage. Sometimes the files are quite big, 17gb of compressed footage.
When I go to log and transfer, to convert the footage in apple prores, the l/t window opens, I see a preview of my footage, than the spinning beach ball of death shows up and FCP crashes every time. I've tried deleting the preferences and reinstalling the software. Still, it keeps crashing. Now the same file on a different computer equipped with FCP will be processed, slowly but surely.
Now I know I can work around this problem by going to toast as an encoder, but I want to fix this issue so I can operate from FCP. I've seen this problem posted before but never found any good solution.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried setting the L&T AVCHD audio conversion prefs to plain stereo?
Open the L&T window.
Click on the gear icon towards the upper center of the frame.
Select "Plain Stereo" For the AVCHD plugin.

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!

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

I want to go back to the previous 2014.2 version. .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.

You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install.

Help with Layer Positioning and TimeLine

Hello all, here is my situation:
I am trying to do a simple Layer animation for my home
page... 4 Layers startoff at the right of my webpage(table) and end
up at the left handside, as an example.
My problem is I have a main 1x1 table that is centered, and
that works fine to center all the text and images that are within
it, but the layers that I tried placing within it stay absolute to
the screen and not relative to the table.... and if I try to
specify relative position in the first place for any of the layers
that Layer disapears from my Layer panel and I cannot timeline with
it???!!!
This Started out as a lame trial to avoid making a flash
movie for this animation.. but right now I am more interested in
knowing the possibilities and limitations of using Layers and
Timelines in Dreamweaver.... Any help or comments are most welcome.

Exporting DVD with many menues and timelines

I'm creating with some friends an interactive DVD for children. So we've made games such as labyrints, questions based games, and this kind of things. Maybe it was a mistake, but we've done all with Adobe Encore 2.0. I haven't had problems creating these games, linking menues and timelines until they formed a playable game, but the project soon reached a very large number of timelines and, most of all, menues. So, when i try to export my project into a DVD or a DVD-Folder, the program start to render menues, but then it doesn't go on. I've waited 5 hours, but...nothing. It say: "CREATING FOLDER" and then, "RENDERING MENU 11", and here remains.
So, can you tell me what happened? The problem is related too a too huge number of elements in the project, or is another kind of problems?
Thank all of you...

Can you
i please
give more details? There is simply not enough information here to even begin to work the solution out.
How many timelines?
How many menus?
What type of menu is menu 11? Motion/Static/With or without Audio?
What is your system spec? (CPU/RAM/HDD's installed/Other stuff running in the background etc)
The more detail you can give, the better

Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, audio channels change to 8 channels when clip dragged onto timeline.

Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, when clip dragged onto timeline audio channels change to 8 channels. Audio track mixer changes too. I edit undo to remove dragged clip and it reverts back to 4 channels of audio on timeline as does the audio mixer? Any ideas as to why the audio channels and mixer changes?

you can check the clip you are dragging to the timeline, if it has 8 tracks... can check by right clicking it in the project bin, choose modify, audio channels.

Easy setup / project and timeline settings

Hello,
I have a question about what settings I should use to edit the following type of clips I recorded.
1280x720 29.92 H.264
48.0 Khz - 32-bit Floating Point audio format
Square pixel asoect
This is what comes up in FCP.
If I just view the clip in a player it says:
h.264 1280x720, millions
AAC 2 channels 48000 hz
29.97
When I put it in the timeline with the preset HDV-720p30 it render the picture and the audio beeps which I have to render.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Carl

What you need to do is convert that to an editing format. ProRes for example. And yes, the file sizes will get much larger. You use Compressor for this...Advanced Format Conversions.

Canvass and timeline not showing

Haven't come across this beforehence the question.
For some reason my canvass and timeline have disappeared from certain projects that I have created in FCE 4.0.1. I'm still seeing the browser, viewer, tool palette and audio meters but nothing else. If I go to the window menu the canvass and timeline are both greyed out so I don't have the option to open them.
I can still trim footage in the viewer but can't do anything with it after that.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using FCE 4.0.1 on a 2.66 i7 MBP with OS X 10.6.7 with all software up to date.
Thanks
Craig

Go to this site and look at the free 2 hour video course of FCE 4.
http://www.izzyvideo.com/learn-final-cut-express-pt1/
It is completely free and it is possible to download it, but if you don't know how, try this 6 hour Final Cut Pro 6 course which can be easily downloaded.
http://www.izzyvideo.com/final-cut-pro/
The basic features of FCP 6 and FCE 4 are virtually identical so you can use either course to learn either app.
Both courses are pretty much the same and cover the same features. The FCP course is only longer because he takes more time explaining things.

Issue with Reverse Telecine

I just finished a short film that I shot over two shoot dates. My cinematographer accidentaly shot 1 in 24P Advanced mode and the other in 24P Standard mode.
I brought my 24P standard footage in to cinematool and did a reverse telecine in order to convert the footage to 24 frames. I am having a problem now as the dialogue is out of synch.
If anyone has any advice on how I can fix this problem, it would be great.
Thanks,

I have resolved the issue for the moment, I just manually moved the sound timeline and it seems to have brought the audio back into sync.

Every clip and timeline is off-sync!

All my footage and timelines have slipped off sync about 5 frames. When opened in quicktime, everthing is normal again. What could possibly be wrong!

Could you clarify a little: are you saying that when you export from that timeline to a QT movie, it is perfectly in sync, or are you talking about a previous export before the problem occurred?

Can I mimic a 'slide show' of stills and videos with this technique

I want to be able to mimic an old fashioned slide show on a Blu-ray disk, except that each 'slide' – I'll call them items – could be a true still, or a still with pan/zoom, or even a short video. Whatever a particular item is, I want to click a button and the show advances to the next item. If the next item is a video, the video pauses on the last frame when it is finished.
Just like the old magazine full of slides, imagine a folder full of items – some may be stills, some videos. After importing into Encore, setting up the navigation and menus, and then burning to Blu-ray, I want to be able to play them in sequence at the press of the Enter button.
I'm pretty much a novice with Encore, and to save spending more time reading the manual, I thought I'd ask if I can mimic a slide show in Encore with the technique described below. I got the idea from page 152 of the PDF manual:
The buttons on a menu are the primary navigation tool for the viewer. They control how the viewer steps through the project. Each button in a menu must lead to another menu, a timeline, a chapter, a playlist, a chapter playlist, or a slide show.
My limited experience with Encore is to set up a series of videos on a single timeline, and generate one menu with a "Start" button on it. When the Blu-ray starts up, the Start screen appears and stays there until I press Enter. Works well.
A slide show of stills using buttons only
So I thought: to generate my old-fashioned slide show (ignore videos for the moment), I would use the buttons themselves as the stills, taking my queue from the quote above: "Each button in a menu must lead to another menu…". My slide show would consist of jumping from one menu to the next. This leads to my first question:
Q1: Is it possible for a menu to have a full-screen button, call it the Image Button, that is actually the still image that is desired to be shown? So the viewer sees the Image Button, thinks it's the image (which it is), but it is actually a button. When the viewer presses Enter, the button activates and goes to the next menu which also happens to be the next full-screen image. The viewer is jumping from Image Button to Image Button, with the buttons filling the screen and being the actual images.
A slide show including videos
To include a video in the slide show, the destination when Enter is pressed would be a timeline with the appropriate video. At the end of this video, the navigation would lead to a menu which has an Image Button of the last frame of the video. The effect is that the video is paused on the last frame, waiting for the user to hit Enter to advance to the next item (still or video).
If there is an easier way to mimic a slide show of stills and videos, please let me know.

Stan – I posted 3 years ago in the Keynote Forums (I'm on Mac) about this sort of thing, knowing that eventually I would want to do it. The answer came back then that Keynote might have problems. So I've recently posted again about Keynote, but no responses as yet.
I expected problems with Encore and welcome some of them. Overcoming problems is the best way to become intimately involved with software.
I'm glad you asked why I don't just use Powerpoint (or Keynote in my case). Now's my chance to clarify my thoughts:
Macs do not upscale very well. Sometimes I may want to show part of a DVD. I've tested playing a DVD on my iMac versus on a Oppo BDP93, fed to a BenQ W7000 projector throwing a 3 metre image. There is an obvious difference in image quality because the Oppo, being hardware based, can interpolate in real time as it scales from 576p (PAL) to 1080P. DVD Player on my iMac simply magnifies the image, resulting in obvious pixellation.
Dissolves and complex effects in Premier challenge any software based h.264 player. I don't like to see decoding artifacts, for example, during a dissolve while a part of the image is also reducing in size, spinning, and disappearing into the distance. An extreme example, but an effect I used once. From my reading of blu-ray player reviews – and from my limited testing – all blu-ray players can easily handle the highest bit rates from a blu-ray disk.
I don't have a laptop so I'd have to buy one. I'd rather spend the money on a dedicated player if that route turns out to be suitable.
I don't trust computers for a presentation. Too unreliable. When I was showing multiscreen audio visuals in the 1980s (4-6 projectors), I always had a backup Tascam 4-track with me, back up soundtrack on tape, back up amp, and a backup slide projector. Even had a backup amp in the car. Speakers, well, if one failed I had two there anyway. With digital, to feel comfortable, I'd have to buy a second laptop. A good quality, backup Blu-ray player can be had for $100. And yes, I do have a backup W7000. I don't trust digital projectors either.
Running a presentation from a laptop always looks amateurish to me. Someone hunched over a tiny screen, fooling around with Windows or OSX. And usually it's all mirrored on the big screen for everyone to see. I'm never impressed. I want to replicate a cinema experience as closely as possible. Darkness, the audience hushed, and up comes the first image.
Any suggestions about automatically linking a whole heap of menus?
