Is 1080i ok with 1080i 30p?

I shot a project where the wild life was shot with a Sony Z7U in 1080i 30p (a menu setting) and the interviews were shot in 1080i 29.97. I capture my footage with a Kona AJA Lhi card in DVCPRO HD so the clips come in as 1280 x 1080 (1.5) It appears when I mix the two on a segment set for 1080i the 1080i 30p looks choppy. Any suggestions on a sequence selection to accommodate both?
Thanks

hi, dvcpro hd is a panasonic format,this could be the issue. in premier a hdv 1080i 30 preset should be fine for both video footage.

Canon HV30 1080i/30 import to imovie HD6 what do I select for " format"

Hello, i use the canon HV30. I connect to the computer via firewire, open imovie HD 6 and then 1. name new project, 2. save on desktop. 3. format--now in the drop down menu there are several choices. I chose 1080i for the format then I hit " import" when the single miniDV tape finished it took up 60gb of HD space.
One tape should not be 60gb.
what am i doing wrong?
HOw do you import a DVtape that was recorded at 1080i/30p?
please, please advise

I have been learning a bit about Codecs and Apple has published a good explanation of why AIC is so data heavy. It does not temporally compress the video so that each frame is decoded separately and this creates a situation where the data size is 3 to 4 times as large as HDV. For this reason, it would make sense that the video is ~60GB per hour in AIC for high definition video.

Problem with Color Ghosting in CS6 but Not CS4 ?

I have HD Footage from my Canon HV30 camcorder and when I open a project and edit the video in CS4 there is no color Ghosting, but when I open a project with the same source files and project settings in CS6 I get a nasty color ghosting. Has anyone seen or experience this issue before? I have included and example of the same frame in each of the programs.
Help!!

Unfortunately I don't have another camera with HDV output. I could borrow another camera but it would be AVCHD.
I'm not sure about any issues with the media and if there is a way to get this in front of a developer type person who would be knowledgable about the differences in how PP CS4 converts HDV source into a digital file vs how PP CS6 converts the HDV source into the digital file. Does the PP capture process use a hard coded CODEC that is different between CS4 and CS6?
I work in telecom and there is a huge effort to comply with standards, but interoperability is still a big issue even when there is a common governing standard.
Because my PP CS4 software converts and displays the "Standard Compliant" source media properly (without any Ghosting/Interlace artifacts) my experience troubleshooting technical issues tells to ask the question "What changed between things working and things not working?" I am drawn to focusing on the difference introduced with CS6.
As addressed earlier in this thread, it could possibly be interaction with display drivers (ruled out with updated drivers and because the exported files have the issue as well?). It could have been an issue with not having the latest PP CS6 software (eliminated with software update). The only thing I have left is an interoperability issue with either my camera output having some varient in standard compliance that is causing the issue or the PP CS6 software having some issue in interpreting or processing the streaming media input that PP CS4 did not have.
So for my situation, here are the specifics: I am using a Canon HV30 Video camera set for 1080i 30p HDV format to tape. Within the camera I have it set for shutter priority, at 1/250 Shutter speed. Now we know there are ~30 frames per second so this faster "shutter speed" must be interpolated/converted to blend into the 30 frames.
To replicate/test the situation I would need (or someone else with one) a Canon HV20, HV30, or HV40 setup with the same shutter vs aperture priority recording some fast moving action.
My bottom line is I really like working in PP CS6 and don't want to have to stay in CS4 because of this issue. Any ideas how to escalate this issue to the developers or any other ways to move towards a resolution?
Thanks,

How to combine (720p 60fps) with (1080p 30fps)

hi all
I have adobe premiere pro CS5 and a gopro hero HD2
So my question is : How can i edit one single movie coming from footages shot with different qualities, like 1080 at 30 fps and 720 at 60 fps ?, what kind of sequence should i open at first on the software?
The thing is: I can do it, there is no problem in that but as I want the best quality I want to know exactly what to do. Like if I open a sequence of 720p and 30 fps and then import footages at 720p and 60fps is it gonna turn it into 30 fps?
Other question: If my footage is a 720p, what is gonna happen when I export it at 1080? I'm gonna loose some quality right??
thanks

Other question: If my footage is a 720p, what is gonna happen when I export it at 1080? I'm gonna loose some quality right??
Some is an understatement. Better downscale 1080 to 720. Always much better than upscaling. As to the framerate, with some 30P and some 60P, you will be better off with 30P altogether.

24P advanced converted to 30P

I've been shooting a bunch of material in 30P, but, by mistake, shot some yesterday in 24P advanced mode. How do you convert the 24Pa material to be compatible with the 30P material.
Thank you!

You'll have to remove the Advanced Pulldown (easiest on capture). Then add back a normal 3:2 to get it back to 30fps. The only way to do this I know of with the basic Final Cut Studio tools is to send it back to DV tape from a 23.98 timeline. FCP will then add in a pulldown. You can re-capture that footage then with a normal 3:2 and use it along with your other 30p material.
It's all digital in/out, so no generational loss...

24p in 30p timeline

I recently purchased a Canon 7D and am trying to edit with iMovie 09. I would love to get Final Cut Pro but at the moment I just can't afford it. This is just a hobby of mine with no real plans of changing that in the near future. My question is, since iMovie 09 does not support 24p, would it be ok to shoot 24p, edit it in iMovie with a 30p AIC timeline? Will this keep the same look of 24p? I guess this is a 3:2 pulldown when you import 24p footage? Will the sync be ok?
Thanks.

There is an exact procedure you must follow to input 1080p24 and export 1080p24. Google "The Ins and Outs of iMovie 09." you cant record 1080p24 with toast for BD. but you can export to h264 and play on a WDTV. Thats whar i do wit 1080p24 from my Pana AVCHD camcorder.

Interpret interlaced video with 2:2 telecine pulldown as true progressive?

Hope my title makes sense. Not sure how well I will be able to explain.
We have interlaced video files from film telecine. The telecine transfer were made at 25fps as the machines are PAL and this allows us to capture each descrete film frame within the 2 interlaced video fields. I believe this is called 2:2 pulldown. 2 fields for every film frame. The film is captured to V210 10-bit uncompressed blackmagic .avi files. We have films intended to be played back at anything from 12fps to 25fps. Everything is captured at 25fps as the only other available speed is 16 2/3rds fps which creates duplicated fields (3:2) and only works for 16fps content.
So, even though the video file is interlaced (top field first) by combining the fields you get a progressive film frame. Is there anyway to tell Premiere to interpet this footage as progressive without dumping half the fields? As far as I am aware if I work with a progressive sequence or interpret the footage as progressive Premiere will retain the dominant fields and interpolate the rest. I understand this for interlaced content where each field is from a different temporall moment but we actually have the ptrogressive frames just stored as 2 fields.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks

Premiere Pro will automatically interpret footage that is shot as progressive-as-interlaced, like 25p or 30p, but that (to my knowledge) only works correctly with footage that is from a camcorder. That's because the file is flagged in such a manner that Premiere Pro knows to put the interlaced fields in the correct order for progressive display. I work with 480/30p and 1080/30p footage (which are both interlaced as shot) frequently, and Premiere Pro does things correctly there.
However, I think it will be a different matter in your case, unless the captures are being flagged as they are created. What does Premiere Pro say that the clips' field order (or lack thereof) is when imported? As you've surmised, if this isn't the case, telling Premiere Pro to interpret the footage as progressive is likely going to result in some unwanted artifacts. You could probably test this by importing two instances of your clip, interpreting one as progressive, and then placing them in a progressive sequence (one on top of the other) and toggling visibility between the tracks. You should quickly see if it's having the desired effect or... something else. Instinct tells me that Premiere Pro won't handle this correctly, however.
This might be a job for After Effects, which is a certain degree smarter and more capable of interpreting such things. I'm not exactly sure how to handle it there, but the After Effects forum might be the best place to ask.

Trouble importing HDV mini DV footage from my Sony HVR Z7U into FCP 6.0.6

Cannot import HDV mini DV footage from my HVR Z7U camcorder into Final Cut Pro
I can Import the footage as an NTSC 720x480 signal.
One consistent answer is to make sure that in camcorders menu settings that the IN/OUT REC - iLINK SET is set to off.
No Luck, no communication with FCP in that mode.
That being said when cameras ilink is on I can import 740/480 NTSC video, not HDV.
Here’s where I’m at now
The video was shot in 1080i 30p onmini DV. With my Sony HVR Z7U Ican only import the video into FCP as a NTSC 720x480 signal. It looks great butnot in HDV?
I believe I have tried most every setting in my FCP audio video settings to import the HD footage into FCP. FCPseems to only recognize the camcorder in the NTSC mode.
Example - In FCP Audio /Video Settings
Sequence Preset - HDV 108030p
Capture Preset    - HDV
Device Control     - HDV FireWire Basic
Video Playback   - Only gives none or NTSC choices(I chose Apple FireWire)
With the setting above and Sony’s ilink off- window alert reads…
“Device is not connected or the capture preset is not set up correctly. You may still log offline clips. This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device.” The camcorder viewer reads the digital footage as 1080i 30p. So it’s not shot in DV footage.
With the iLink on - I get the same window alert. Unless I capture in NTSC
For me FCP will only log and capture the footage when the Capture and Device Control Presets are set to a NTSC format and the camcorder ilink is on. Hence an NTSC 720x480 signal is imported. Not HDV?
Come on, I know this a common problem and I must be missing something very simple. Please Help! Many thanks.

Someone mentioned using log and transfer. I use this with all my Compact Flash HD videos. I have found no info for importing HDV from mini DV in log and transfer with a (my) camcorder.

Gary, this is the Final Cut Pro X forum. You might try the other forum for FCP. Still, I have the Z5U Sony which is nearly identical to your camera except for the zoom as I recall. I think we have the same menu system. I see to recall there is a menu option that sets the output file format. Also you can set it to record in SD as well as I recall. I read my files in from tape to FCP X easily ... in high def. Best wishes.

Trying to output HDCAM...

So i have several QT clips that were shot with various frame rates....ranging from 24 to 60 frames. Some were shot using DVCPRO HD 720p 60i (see below):
1. DVCPRO HD 720p60, 960X720 23.98 fps
2. DV 720X480 29.97 fps
3. DVCPRO HD 720p60, 960X720 59.94 fps
I have built a sequence using the DVCPRO HD 720p 30 in FCP. Using Media Manager.....could i theoretically output this to APPLE PRO RES 422(HQ) 1920 X 1080i 30p to HDCAM? Keep in mind i am only using FCP 6.0.2 with no additional hardware. We are trying to build 1 QT to have a post house output to HDCAM. Hopefully we are doing this correctly.

NO need to transcode to anything. Just export out a self contained QT file, take that to a post facility with a Kona 3 card, and they can output your 720p 23.98 to 1080p 23.98 HDCAM, upconverting on the fly thru the card.
I have done this many a time.

Premiere Elements 8 Project Won't Open. Please Help.

Hello,
I was working on a Premiere Elements 8 project for my video class last night (HDV, 1080i 30p) and the program stopped responding as I was importing a clip. I was prompted to wait for response or close the program. I closed the program and when I tried to re-open my project, the loading dialog box reaches 100% and then does nothing. I let it sit for over 30 minutes and nothing changed. When I clicked cancel after 30 minutes, I was prompted with the same "program is not responding" box. Other projects open fine, but this one simply will not. After reading through the forums, I disabled McAfee and updated Quicktime, but I am still having the same problem. I have 6 GB of free RAM and I am using footage shot on my DSLR. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated as the project is due this week.
Thanks,
Jake

OK, there is possibly a problem with one (or more) Assets.
This next step might be easy, or not, depending on how you have your Assets arranged on your computer.
The easiest is if one has the Assets, or Copies of them, in sub-folders below the Project's hierarchy. See this article for an example: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4028199#4028199
I would Move the Assets from their location, so that PrE cannot initially find them, and attempt to load their links. Then, launch PrE, and Open that Project (since the AutoSaves do not work better, just go with the original Project here). You should get the dialog, "Where is file ____ ?" See this article for more details and tips: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4598705#4598705.
If one has many types of Assets, such as Still Images, AVI's, MOV's, etc., it would be easier if one Moved each Asset type to a new, and separate sub-folder, for this next step.
At "Where is file ____ ?" navigate to where you Moved that requested file. See if it loads. Per the above article, you will see that PrE will then survey that folder, the one that you just navigated to, and try to load each missing Asset IN that folder, and re-link to them. If all goes well, then you should get that same dialog messege for the next Asset type. Repeat. Do this until you get the hang on an Asset. At that point, DO NOT Save the Project. Instead, Save_As and increment the name. That is IMPORTANT.
Then, Move that faulting Asset elsewhere, and test Opening the Save_As Project. If all works fine, then you know that there is a problem with THAT Asset. You should study it carefully, to see what the problem is. If it plays fine elsewhere, and is not different, than other good Assets, then try Importing it again, into that Save_As Project.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I download a Sony AX2000 to FCP?

How can a Sony Ax2000 download footage in 1080i, 30p, and 24p recorded settings to FCP with so many options available? I have used Imovie for years and mastered it. My Sony sr10 and Imovie were a snap to download, but now with the use of my AX2000, and wanting to use the FCP I bought a while back, and have waited to tryout, I am anxious to use FCP for the first time. Plus, FCP seems very technical at this point. It`s like going from a motor vehicle, to a space shuttle. It doesn`t appear as easy as it seems. Needing help! Needing answers! Thanks, Rob.

Imovie HD 6 & AIC or ProRES442? best quality help?

Hello I have been using Imovie HD 6 ever since it first appeared.
I capture video using HDV 1080i 30p via miniDV then import via imovie HD 6.
1. Is the AIC offer the best picture resolution?
2. Does pro RES442 offer better picture resolution ( less artifacts) ?
I am looking for information regarding the pros and cons especially with resolution between AIC and prores442?
For example, if I import using say FCP and use prores442 edit then> DVD will it have better picture quality even if putting it on DVD?
3. Also if one was to use FCP and prores 442> can you then go to iDVD?
please advise on the codec differences and similarities?
In addition if one had the choice which one would give the best picture quality for final result if one was to put to DVD?
thanks for everyones support

iDVD can only create standard definition format so it makes no sense to send it an HD file.

Two Different Cameras, Same Timeline and Sequence

I am filming with a Sony Z7U and a Panasonic GH1. I use 1080i 30p for the Sony and FHD (which is 108024p) for the Panasonic. I am looking for some advice on exactly what works best and what gives the best outcome for these two units when I Log and Transfer, Easy Setup, and Export using Quicktime Conversion. After that is there any particular Compressor setting I should use to burn to DVD using DVD Studio Pro.
Any help and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Well it's 1080 30p but on the LCD it says 1080i HDV 30p. I think for what I'm doing, I'm going to capture everything using HDV 720 30p. I don't need 1080 and i am somewhat disatisfied with the Panasonic quality in low light on 1080 24p. So I will use the other setting which is 720 60p and then capture it 720 30p.
I film weddings, so I'd rather have the faster frame rate for low light and moving shots. I can bring the film look back slighty with the capture settings an color work.
Anyone else with settings?

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.

Audio clicks - clocking problem in HD

I've been editing in FCP on a G5 for a couple of years with few problems. I've just upgraded to 4 new Mac Pros with Quad cores, 8gb ram and 3 with Nvidia & 1 with ATI video boards and now I'm hearing clocking problems in my audio. Crackling sound that gets louder as the audio gets more active. I'm using a Panasonic 1400 via firewire. I've trashed prefs, changed all my wires, changed decks, all the new macs have this problem. I swapped my G5 back and the problem goes away. When I swap a Panasonic AJ-93 (SD via firewire) in the problem goes away.
The clips are clean. I can transfer clips to Protools and output clean. It seems to just be an output to DVCPRO HD issue.
I'm confused
Any thought or help will be appreciated,
Thanks Bill

I don't know where you got the idea I was using MP3s, but thanks for a response.
To clarify, I am ingesting audioand video clips from a Panasonic AJ 1400(HD deck with firewire). The files are in the DVCPRO HD codec (1080i 30p, 16bit, 48K).
Thanks

Is 1080i ok with 1080i 30p?
