Jerky XDCam 1080 movies on QT 7.5.5

Hi everyone,
I recently updated my QT from 7.4.5 to 7.5.5, and now when I export XDCam sequences (under current settings) as QT movies, and try to play them full screen, they have a very subtle jerkiness. It never happened before this update. Any ideas on how to solve that problem? Could there be anything that the update doesn't take care of in QT regarding XDCam codecs? I have tried compressing them with ProRes and other settings, but if the movie is 1080 it keeps happening. I tried the same movie on different system running QT 7.4.5 and it worked fine...
Any help is much appreciated.

I'm having exactly the same problem with Panasonic AVCHD files converted in FCS 2. Quicktime 7.5.5 and FCP 6.0.5. I can convert the files in Toast and the pictures look a bit better. It is something with the interlace interpetation. If you have Perian istalled remove it. The latest updates did not fix this issue.

    Thanks Andy,
    that was a good idea. I just tried it though, with several clips that were created months ago and the problem persists....
    I even tried some raw clips that I converted to .mov with the XDCAM converter software a while back... That's how I used to check all my recorded material after dumping it to a hard drive, and it always looked nice and smooth. The video is jumpy now, especially with pans and tilts - I can see a subtle stutter in subject movement during steady shots as well though.
    I reinstalled Quicktime one more time, ran Software Update... nothing.

  • Can't import XDCAM files(.mov) in Premiere for Windows

    Hello.
    I have some problem using XDCAM file in Premiere Pro.
    Actually I captured the XDCAM file(.mov) from MovieRecorder, which is the ingest software for Mac..(http://www.softron.tv/products/movierecorder.html)
    The XDCAM file is opened in Premiere Pro for Mac.
    And  I can play the file in QuickTime player for Win but I can't import the file in Premiere for Windows.
    How can I import the XDCAM(.mov) recorded from Mac in Premiere Pro for Windows?
    Do I have to install any codec or program?
    Please let me know any advice.
    Best regards,
    Donnie Kim

    Any suggestions would be appreaciated.
    They have a website with support and a forum.  https://www.videocopilot.net/products/action2/
    Looks like cool stuff.
    They list compatability with Premier Elements.  Perhaps if you post a request there, you will find someone that has been down the road before you with the combination of the two products.   They may also need to know if an adjustment is necessary for PrE11.
    Good luck!

  • Converting an XDCAM 1080/60i 35 VBR timeline to SD 16:9 quicktime

    I've created a project in an XDCAM 1080/60i 35VBR timeline. I'd like to export a
    standard definition 16 x 9 quicktime out of it for presentation purposes to people without
    the facility to play XDCAM discs.
    I know I can do this with FCP and/or Compressor, but I'm not sure how.
    Can somebody tell me precisely how to go about this?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    If you don't have the money to pay for a high quality hardware based standards conversion then you can use a slow (but still good quality) software conversion method ... try Apple's own Compressor application which is part of your Final Cut Studio suite
    Or if you prefer to stay within FCP then you might want to have a look at Graeme Nattress's excellent Standards Conversion plugin set:
    http://www.nattress.com/Products/standardsconversion/standardsconversion.htm
    By the way, if you go with the former then don't waste your time staying in the XDCAM codec, instead you'd be better targeting Apple ProRes 422 as your edit intermediate codec for the converted clips. Similarly, if you prefer to stay in FCP and need to to do a timeline based conversion using the Nattress plugins then you would likely do well to set your sequence format to Apple ProRes 422 rather than native XDCAM HD.
    Cheers

  • Saving Sony 560V Video to iMovie; Convert to Theater; 1080 Movies

    I was able to save all videos taken using Sony Camcorder 560V into Events and Archives without any problem with the earlier versions of iMovie.
    However, it took hours and hours before I can import and save them into the Library and even longer into Theater and 1080 Movies.  Am I doing something wrong?
    Is there any other efficient way to do this?  I am running out of room on my camera.
    Please help.

    I am sick about it but need to see if there is anything that I can do to use the DVDs upload to my mac and then edit and save again. Does anyone have any ideas?
    First, NEVER put labels on a DVD. (use a DVD printer, etc.)
    Take a look at Cinematize 2, I've used it with iMovie 06 and iDVD 08. It has several modes of converting the data. One mode is called "lossless".
    For the job you're doing you may prefer to use iMovie 06 instead of iMovie 08 (I would).
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
    iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
    Your workflow would go something like this.
    Use Cinematize 2 to create a Quicktime file from the DVD.
    http://www.miraizon.com/products/products.html
    Important that file into iMovie 06.
    From iMovie 06, share to iDVD 08 (assuming you want a DVD).
    Another method is to simply play the DVD and re-import it into iMovie (06 or 08).
    Take look at the Canopus ADVC300. It comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06. Your Mac MUST have Firewire.

  • Jerky playback of movies only in iTunes

    Have movies that play perfectly directly from Quicktime (7.1.3) and when loaded on the iPod with iTunes. But when the same file is played within iTunes (7.02) as a movie, the playback is jerky and like stop motion. The apparent frame rate is several per second. Audio playback is fine whike this happens.
    Activity Monitor shows about the same level of CPU utilization in both applications Quicktime and iTunes, at around 20% on my 1.6GHz G5 Powermac.
    I have Quicktime Pro if it makes a difference.
    Using EyeTV (2.3.2) and playing back as a Qucktime movie also produces a clean playback.
    So, the jerky playback is only in iTunes.
    OS X version is 10.4.7, I'd rather not update to 10.4.8.
    I've looked for preference settings and other interactions. Any suggestions?

    If you search (itunes forums) you'd have found this tidbit:
    I found the problem! The jerky playback in iTunes7 is caused by a conflict with the 3ivx D4 4.5.1 component found in the Library/Quicktime/ folder.
    It may also be say an old DivX codec, etc. Same folder. Remove to your desktop and try again.
    Also some have reported turning off the internal mic if you have one, and making sure MIDI settings are at 44.100Khz.
    Give these a try.

  • Jerky playback of movies, Im getting desperate now, help !!

    I have recently purchased a Sanyo Xacti digital camera which records onto an SD card in MPEG 4 format, the camera came supplied with Quick time to view the movies on.
    I installed it and everything worked fine. I looked at the option of going PRO with the software because of the editing and file conversion facilities it offered, the £19.99 fee seemed reasonable also, so I did, during this quick time upgraded the player to the current version 7.1 also, since doing this my movies do not play back properly, the quality is grainy on some parts and the footage is choppy and laggy. I am really annoyed now as I expected to gain some useful features, not loose the one thing this player was intended for!!
    I have searched through the forums for any clues and tried do some suggestions, i.e. running in safe mode, uninstalling QuickTime and reinstalling off the CD that came with my camera and I have upgraded my graphics drivers as well.
    The thing is I downloaded the free VLC media player and that plays fine, the same movies also play ok on my editing software that came with the camera.
    I spent half an hour on hold to apples Technical help line then got cut off! nice service eh and its cost £20 for this pleasue with no way of getting a refund or any help on the matter!! so it seems?
    Thanks for any help you can give

    "Copy one of your clips to your internal (system) HD. Open & play it in the QuickTime player. Does it play ok?
    Do you have more than 1 project, and if so is this happening in all projects or just this one?"
    Hello again ~
    I have done all the memory upgrades, external (new 1TB:Mac OS Extended (Journaled) / internal: Capacity: 233 GB Available 90GB) moving new project onto 1TB drive and making more room on the internal drive too. Skipping/jerky playback still occurs.
    I copied a small section, placing in & out points on a few seconds of the project. I stopped at that point because I couldn't figure how to move to the internal HD. (My brain has been on overdrive and dropping memory rapidly ~ another support topic.) Please tell me how to move the clip to the internal drive.
    I did play another completed project, that had no previous problem. It did skip when the player was over the titles/transitions.
    I thought of copying the project and starting w/new titles & transitions to see if there was some corruption problem, until I played the 2nd project and had the same result.

  • Jerky playback of movie trailers within iTunes

    When I try to view movie trailers within iTunes itself, the playback is jerky. It pauses and stops before resuming.
    This is repeatable on two computers (Mac Pro and a Mac Mini), both running the latest version of iTunes and OS X Snow Leopard. I have a DSL connection
    Yet, if I use a web browser (Safari) to go to trailers.apple.com/trailers/ , the playback is fine. Which makes me think that there is some setting within iTunes. But I cannot find any setting to change.
    Any ideas?
    As soon as I post this message, I'm going to boot up in OS X Lion and see the results.

    When I boot into OS X Lion, the playback is fine. I reboot into OS X Snow Leopard, no change (that is, the jerky playback continues).

  • Importing 1290 x 1080 .mov issues Premier Pro

    I can not see a choice for making my new project settings for .mov files that are 1920 x 1080 (30fps). The only choice I have is for 1440 x 1080. I am using Premier Pro with a Vista 64 system. Any ideas on how or where to fix this issue?
    Thanks, Jon

    Welcome to the forum.
    If you cannot find a Preset that matches your footage exactly, you can choose a Desktop Preset, and then in the settings screen, adjust almost every possible property. Desktop = custom in this instance.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - in < CS4, you do this at the Project level. With CS4 up, you do it at the Sequence level.

  • I finalized my iMovie project. Where are the .mov files? (1080,mov, 720.mov, etc.)

    Hi everyone I'm an iMovie newbie,
    I finalized my iMovie project. I am using iMovie 9.0.9 by the way. I can't seem to locate the movie files when I go to upload my video to YouTube. I also noticed that the files for my previous videos are gone as well. For now, I'm exporting using QuickTime, but that is taking way too much time and I have never had to do this before. I waited an hour for my project to finalize, where are the files? Where can I find them?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi JBK
    *Huge thanks for this* - the link proved very useful. I tried the MPEG STREAMCLIP option and like yourself exported to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codex @ 100% quality (you can also export in DV mode with much the same results) - it worked fine but file sizes trebled and quality reduced (you can also. As you say its also a pain to have to go though another process. To be able to do it inside imove is a much better option (thanks to tjworld for that, who would have thought of doing that!!!) Surely this will be something Apple have to sort out in the next upgrade. So pleased that I can continue using the Zi6 as it's a really smart little camera - even though mine is pink one (the camera that is!) This is the first time I've used a discussion stream so thanks again all for the help

  • Using PgDn key on eBay browsing screens results in a 2-step jerky display to move from one screenful to another - this problem is not apparent on other websites

    This problem has been apparent for some time in Firefox and has not been fixed in version 22. The scrolling using PgDn key works smoothly in Internet Explorer.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Also try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

  • Projecting an HD 1080 movie

    I'm making a show in imovie that involves photos and titles transitioning to a song. I will make a DVD which will be inserted directly into a projector and played (unfortunately I'll be unable to find out the make of the projector until the date of the presentation).
    The photos are less blurry when imported into a 1080i HD project as opposed to a regular DV project.
    My question is, would the average projector reflect this difference in image quality?
    Also, does the average projector have the capability to display in widescreen mode?
    I'm mainly afraid that the widescreen images will be clipped.
    Thanks for your help!

    hey there covill,
    if you burn to a regular DVD, your project will be down-convert to Standard Def.(SD) using iLife/iDVD. if the projector isn't a newer HD projector chances are it will only display SD, it may however have the capacity to display widescreen(16:9). there is no pat answer, you'll need to know more about the projector.
    good luck.

  • XDCAM movs from FCP

    I'm currently working on a project in Premiere Pro CS5 with material originally sourced from FCP as XDCAM-EX 1080p 25fps. Unfortunately the original BPAVs are currently unable to be located & I've had to use the transcoded .movs which FCP creates. I have purchased the Calibrated XD Decode codec & installed & this appears to work (the watermark has disappeared at least). However playback is stuttering after a couple of seconds of playback. I know my laptop has enough processing power as it can playback the clips in Quicktime Pro without stuttering.
    FYI Laptop is a G73JW with Intel i7940QM running 8gb RAM, 500GB drive, nVidia GTX460M graphics. Normally this handles the BPAVs without any issues affecting performance. I'm wondering whether it's the 32bit Quicktime translation that might be causing this.
    Once rendered these clips playback fine but obviously this would not be an ideal workflow. As I am creating split screen effect edits & plan to export them for another FCP editor to work on I'm all ears for any ideas on the best way to do this.
    Thanks

    As chance would have it, I was just discussing this issue with Greg from Calibrated Software (very helpful guy!) yesterday via email. I'm going to be purchasing the DV50/DVCPROHD decoders, but had previously tried XD Decode, and noticed the slowdown. This is what he had to say:
    Per the XML file - yep it can be used with Calibrated{Q} XD Decode for Windows too.
    Basically
    the XML file is modified from the one that comes with PPro - and it
    just tells Adobe CS5 applications (AE and PPro) that our Decode codecs
    support native YUV decoding - thus PPro will ask our Decode codecs for
    YUV frames which in turn makes the performance/playback much much
    faster.
    Without the XML file, PPro asks our
    codecs for 8-bit RGB frames - which then takes a big hit on playback -
    as our codecs must first decompress the data to YUV and then convert the
    YUV to RGB and then hand to PPro. The XML file let's PPro know that it
    can just ask for the YUV frames directly.
    You can get the XML file and instructions here: Why are XDCAM/HDV MOV files not playing back in realtime on my computer?
