Let me rephrase question on Panasonic 1080 HD and fcp settings

I am having issues brining in these p2 cards so they look good.
My clent thinks this is shot on 1920 x 1080 but is not sure
When I import them using DVC pro hd 1080p30 they come out as 1280 x 1080 and all movements show interlace issues
Apple pro ress 422 has the same results
What should by capture setting and my sequence settings be for this?

Panasonic's DVCPRO HD codec, at 1080, is 1280x1080. It is a thin raster format, meaning ANAMORPHIC. Normal Anamorphic is 1440x1080, but DVCPRO HD goes just a BIT further and loses 200 more lines. When you use Log and Transfer to bring in the footage, it comes in as shot...you can't shoot 720 and bring it in as 1080...so if those are your numbers, it is 1080.
Interlacing. 1080 is an interlaced format. If the client shot 1080i 24p...then it is 24p in a 29.97 interlaced stream. But it looks progressive. If they shot 1080i 24pA...that means that it can have pulldown removed on ingest, to get to progressive 23.98. But, they need to have shot that. You can't really remove pulldown on normal 1080i 24p.

Panasonic SDR-H40P and FCP HD

Hello,
I am upgrading my analog S-VHS setup to digital with a Panasonic SDR-H40P and am experiencing difficulties with the import and aspect ratio. I have calculated the pixel dimensions of the native video from the camera as 834 x480. I am not familiar with these dimensions? (640x480, 720x486 are familiar to me) Which preset should I edit to accommodate this camera or is there an existing codec and preset I can use native?
Norman

The camera records in an mpeg 2 format that must be converted to an editable format.
You may need to use mpeg streamclip to convert it.
If the camera records Standard Definition video, convert the mpeg2 files to DV/NTSC (720x480).

Connecting Computer to Panasonic 1080 46" TV

I bought a DVI to HDMI cable to use my Panasonic 1080 46" Plasma TV as monitor so that I could watch DVDs after my Xbox 360 went out. I tried all 3 HDMI inputs and no picture nor sound. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are you connecting your computer to your regular computer monitor plus your tv at the same time? Kind of a dual display?
If so, then you would need to go into your display settings and extend the desktop to the TV.

My itouch is asking me for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let me buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.

My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store. I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers. How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether? I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

Let me rephrase DVD Q

Let me rephrase about DVDs on iCloud. I was what now what appears to be mis lead by apple sales to buy 2 Apple TV3s. I wanted to have access to watch movies in two rooms and store movies in "a cloud" storage as apple put it. They also failed to inform me I had to pay 25$ a year to access my iTunes library through Apple TV. I understand how imatch works for music and ultimately like to have movie access as well. I have hundreds of dollars invested in blue ray movies and digital copies that I want to up load and have access to watch on apple tv. How / If / When will this work.

iCloud does not store video that you rip from DVDs. It doesn't even store video on photo stream. However if you have ripped a DVD on your mac and synced it via iTunes to a device, you can airplay the video to the Apple TV from either a device or the mac (assuming all devices have new enough OSes). But don't count on iCloud being a part of that process. Now if you rent/purchase video from the iTunes store, then you can stream it down to an Apple TV. And iTunes match wouldn't help in this process either (due to limited space alloted).
I have thousands of DVDs converted to iTunes format, store them on a mac mini running Plex (free software) and view them on my TV. I also have an Apple TV 1 on which I can store some of my DVD titles and play them to the TV (granted, I have "altered" the OS on the ATV so that it can play my video).

Not with iOS 5 no. A number of other people have made the same comment about it, so you could try leaving feedback like some of them will have done, and maybe in a future iOS update we'll get the choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Surround sound from Panasonic TM900 in to FCP X?

Just bought a Panasonic TM900 and I've been having a little play. AVCHD files (but not 1080-50p) are recognised by FCP X, and can be imported using the 'Import from Camera' function. All seems well except for the fact that FCP X reports that these have 2-channel stereo audio rather than the 5.1 surround sound that the camera records in. I have imported some of the 1080-50p files via ClipWrap and FCP X reports that these have 5.1 surround audio.
If I play both types of file (the regular AVCHD and the 1080-50p) in the VLC Player it reports that both types have 5.1 surround sound (AC3).
Why am I only getting 2-channel audio for the regular AVCHD files that I import from the camera directly in to FCP X? Any ideas?

yeah, luckily i am working with single long clips so i don't have to do it that often. it's a lot of work, true, but it does work and so far it's the only solution i've found.
i do find it a bit strange that apple doesn't let you "optimise" the audio in the same way as for video. Meaning, to convert ac-3 into whatever format it wants to edit audio in. in can encode ac3 during export, so why not decode it on import?
There's a section in the help manual that says you can specify mono channels to specific surround channels, but i've never been able to get it work, but now that i reread it, it does say to do it in the timeline. I've always tried it in the event browser. So it might be worth trying in your case.
You need to first have the configuration be 6 mono channels. Then, supposedly, you can specify each mono channel to be a surround channel.
Select the clip in the Timeline.
In the Channel Configuration section of the Audio inspector, choose an option from the Channels pop-up menu.
To assign a mono channel to a specific surround channel: Select the mono channel waveform, and choose a surround channel from the Channels pop-up menu.

My complaints and Questions MP4 M4V video files and other complaints

My complaints and Questions MP4 M4V video files and other complaints
I have been scratching my head as to how to fix my problem and I found some answers and some questions along the way. First of all, I have a video that should be correctly formatted for my iPod. Its specs are:

Wow that was a chore. Apple! Let us drag copy and paste our info tabs information so we don’t have to type all this stuff when we are having trouble. **another problem and suggestion** right there.
Ok, back to the problem of the forum.
From what I can see from http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html this file falls in line of everything required in order to be able to play on my iPod. It plays in iTunes fine but will NOT sync with my iPod. I get an annoying message that states, “Some of the Songs and videos in your iTunes library, including “BlaBlaBlaiPondFixYourJunkBlaBlaBla”, were not copied to the iPod “My iPod” because they cannot be played on this iPod.” Why oh why can iTunes play this video file but my iPod cant. Especially when the specs on Apple’s website say it can.
So that was bugging me for a LONG time until I found my “Create iPod or iPhone version” option in the “Advanced” heading. Thank goodness this made my files playable on my iPod. Extremely LONG wait though. I know that other programs convert it in ½ the time. But times not to important as long as it gets done, (would be very convenient if it was faster though **Problem and suggestion**)
Ok, now that I have used the “Create iPod or iPhone version” option it has slowly but surly converted my video. Ok, here is my main problem, the new file which is the result of the conversions information is as follows:
Kind: MPEG-4 video file
Size: 35.4 MB

C:\File\WhyIsThisNewFileInMyMusicFolder\TheMovieFileInQuestion.m4v
So basically it has made my file bigger *not a bonus in my book* greatly increased my Bit Rate *another interesting feature*, and I think the biggest change it has changed it from an .mp4 to an m4v.
Why does it need to be an .m4v I could have sworn some of my videos were or are in mp4 which shouldn’t matter anyway because I was under the impression that iPods could play mp4 files. So that’s my biggest complaint and question. Why can my 80GB classic iPod not play my MP4 files and why am I forced to convert them??
This conversion also creates 2 files in iTunes when I am done which is annoying because I have to go into my files info and look to see what file is the mp3 in order to remove it. Very annoying I can open my iPod options and see the files and some are faded (the ones it can not play) why can’t I remove them from that area.Suggestion Apple please make files that cannot be played on my iPod stand out some how for easier cleaning Suggestion. Thank you.
Speaking of cleaning iPods, when I moved my entire library to an external drive I was faced with a terrible problem. “This file could not be found, would you like to locate file”, I was faced with this annoying message at least 600 times. Now I am glad that iTunes has a little “!” mark to show dead links so that you do some minor cleaning, Good Job iTunes No compliant there. However iTunes has no way of selecting all the broken files for major cleaning (like in my case). Going through and deleting over 600 files 1 by 1 is extremely time consuming and annoying. **Suggestion Apple please add more cleaning features for organizing iTunes**.
Ok, speaking of organization now, another problem that appeared when converting my video files was that it put my new videos into the location where I have all my songs (my external hard drive) why can’t it put the new files in the locations of the original file? I have my computer highly organized and my original files were in that drive in that folder for a reason. If I could open my original file and skip the conversion, my iTunes would go to that specific folder to access the file which is fine. But now these new conversion files are elsewhere taking up space and disorganizing my computer. True I can go into the new location and move the files to where I want them (original location) but I don’t think I should have to hunt them down, copy, move, delete ect etc for all these files over and over. Very annoying, time consuming and should be unnecessary. **Suggestion Make file creation and location more customizable, and user friendly, your customers will love you for it**.
Well since I have gotten into Apples iTunes and iPod problems that I have had to face I might as well bring up one or two more problems and suggestions. About a month after purchasing my iPod a sibling bought one as well. His however is way more convenient then mine. I suppose he has a 5th gen. so here is my question: why does he have a search option and I don’t!!!! Why does he get more features every so often and I don’t?! Why can’t Apple write some software for us classic guys which got the iPods going! It’s very annoying when I have to spend more time looking for the song then I spend actually listening to it, when he can pull his up in like 3-6 seconds? I highly doubt the hardware between our iPods is that dissimilar and even if they are why cant software be written for us. **Suggestion treat all your customers good not just the newer ones, and make some more features for the classics like me and my iPod.” We will be grateful for it I promise.
Ok, I am almost done. Let me just recap my questions, I know my post is kind of lengthy.
#1. Why can’t my iPod play MP3 video files? And why do I have to convert to almost all the same settings except changing it from an mp4 to an m4v. according to Apples own site I should be able to play .m4v .mp4 and .mov files!! Note: remember iTunes plays them fine but my iPod will not.
#2. Would be much more convenient to be able to copy the information from the windows in iTunes so that problems and trouble shooting would be much easier. A little check on off options in iTunes advanced settings would be terrific.
#3. Why is the conversion so slow? Please speed it, you have the power. Convenience is the thing that sells products.
#4. Files that cannot be played on the current iPod need to be easier recognized for simpler cleaning.
#5. Also make an easier way to select all dead link files for faster cleaning, deleting, etc. This one is important.
#6. Make a user friendly way to change where my files are going to end up once I convert them for iPod more options and better customizable settings are need.
#7. One of the most important is ADD A SEARCH OPTION. I and we classics will LOVE Apple for it.
For you readers, I apologize for the long post, and any grammatical errors you might find throughout it. These are problems that I have faced with these programs and hardware and I wanted to make sure they got acknowledged and hopefully addressed. Any information about why I cannot play MP4 Video files on my iPod would be the best. If anything in my post gets answered that’s the one I want most. Will save me a lot of hassle.
Thank you all and I look forward to your suggestions and comments. All are welcome and appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bond, James

Was playing with iTunes and thought of another suggestion! Let us play files in iTunes from an iPod! A friend or sibling should be able to plug his iPod into my computer open iTunes and play any of the files there. Many times I have wanted to show a movie clip or video to a friend, and I have the dock so I can do it on my T.V. but play it on their computer in their iTunes forget it. That would be a very nice feature as well so we can watch our movies at maximum size or listen to music on a better sound system, just another suggestion that would be nice. Thanks

You are writing that in the perspective of having read about it here already. Repeated often enough that you encountered it somewhere in the posts.
Users are flooding in here and don't know any of this. Of course we have to repeat everything endlessly.
Because I like to give precise, understandable and workable answers to repeated questions, and Apple doesn't allow sticky posts here, I created a separate forum which users can consult to look up real answers, and contribute for themselves if they have something valuable to add:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/
There is a section purely devoted to Pages 5. Add whatever answers you feel will lighten the problems of Apple's 'upgrades'.

* Where have they acknowledged anything?
** They have barely anything listed, compared to the massive list of deleted features, and nothing but an extraordinarily long time frame considering they created the problems here and now. Apple has not said they will do anything at all about fixing the real issues, the biggest of which is that the new iWork apps break virtually all the work of existing users.

Panasonic HPX300, AVCi 50, FCP 7, Motion 4

I just got my Panasonic HVX300 and just did clean install of Final Cut Studio 3 and clean install of Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro (see specs below). I am doing some tests before I start a big doco project. I shot some coverage on the HVX300 in 720-59.94 at AVCi 50/30PN. I brought it into FCP7 with Log and Transfer at these settings:
960x720, 29.97, AVCi50/720p30, 3.7 Mb/sec data rate, 48kHz 16-bit audio, pixel HD 960x720.
I tried rendering in FCP7 after adding some MOTION4 titles in 1920x1080 and FCP freezes every time about half way through the render.
When I go to MOTION 4 to make some titles, I only see options for DVCPRO HD 720/30P or HDV 720/30P or XDCAM EX 720/30P.
QUESTION
Which option in MOTION 4 should I choose or do I have to create a custom setting or is there a plug-in I have to download for AVCi?
thanks

Thanks. Yes, it is the 300. I have tried various Motions settings and FCP7 still freeze up when rendering or when trying to export to QT movie or when send to compressor. The only way I got one clip to work was to export the Motion instead of just using the .motn file. Time consuming work around.
QUESTION:
With HD and FCP7, is it absolutely necessary to render everything in FCP before exporting or sending to Compressor?

Question About the S partition and Backing Up Content

Forgive me if this sounds stupid (and yes i did read online about this S partition business with thinkpads) but I am not sure if i had accidentally deleted the S partition or it is hidden and I am not able to see it. When I go to my computers, the only drives I see are C and W(W is my ultrabayIII added 500gb harddrive). I do not see a S partition. The Q partition I deleted. But when i go to the computer management location, I see: "SYSTEM_DRV with no Drive Path Letter (strange...), a Windows7_OS(C and my SecondHDD(W.....and no S partition.....does that mean that my S partition is the SYSTEM_DRV or did I unknowingly deleted it.
And another question:
Since I no longer got the Q partition, what does that mean I lost?? Does this mean that I am not able to restore my thinkpad to the original factory default with the factory-installed programs and drivers?? (even the faulty NVIDIA driver that gives bsods? lol?) Though I did see something that came with windows 7 called Create Repair Disk.....does this mean that it acts like a windows 7 CD which allows me to boot from CD and fix or reinstall windows 7???
sorry for this post being lenghy XD but thanks in advance for the responses.

I know we can clearn LR history on a particular image by clicking "clear all" in the history panel. Is there a way to do this for all images w/o having to go through all of them? I don't want LR to keep track of every little thing I did on every little image; if the development is significant, I would use virtual copy or snapshot. I think having all the history info is waste of space and may slow down LR.
Each history step could be a very small amount of space in the catalogue database. I'm not sure what you mean by "slow down LR." Slow down how? What activities or gestures will be impacted?
I am hearing you want to reset all settings to some large selection of your images , excepting some or all virtual copies or those with snapshots. It might be better to work with temporary catalogues, merging those into a master catalogue in a selective manner.

Perhaps the preview cache? You can also check to see if your raw cache is in there, too. I assume your managed photos are in a different directory tree (or trees.)

Shooting with both 1080 and 720 settings on location?

Hello,
I'm new to video world. 7D has been my camera for photography and now I'm interested in using it to do some video as well. I've been reading and searching a lot online lately and was wondering if below is the best way to approach an on-location shoot:
1. Shoot with 'mainly 1920x1080 (24fps)' setting and 'switch to 1280x720 (60fps) setting' for the part which I know I will use the footage for 'slow motion'
2. After finish shooting, bring all footages to CS5 premiere and use '1920x1080 (24fps)' sequence/timeline to process footages shot with both 1080 and 720 settings.
3. Use the 'Interpret Footage' function to slow down the footage shot with 1280x720 setting and make it 24fps
Would this strategy work well or should I do the entire shoot with just '1280x720 (60fps)' setting and still use the '1920x1080 (24fps)' timeline in CS5?
Thank you for any help that you could provide as I'm eager to learn!

I think your question involves a couple of misconceptions:
assuming you're referring to Canon 7D, OnLocation does not support that camera to the best of my knowledge. For live monitoring and recording, OL works only with devices that output via Firewire (IEEE 1394), which I don't believe is true of the 7D.
while PPRO's Interpret Footage feature can serves the purpose of making a clip play in slow motion, that's not it's intent. Moreover, Premiere has better ways of achieving the goal, namely the Time Remapping feature and the Rate Stretch tool. Rather than attempting to explain those features here, I'll simply urge you to read the page in the help titled "Change speed and duration for one or more clips" (Home / Using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 / Effects and transitions / Duration and speed)
As to your most basic question of what resolution and framerate to shoot, I'm not the best person to answer that, and the OnLocation forum is probably not the best place to get an answer. I'd suggest either the Premiere Pro forum here on Adobe.com or a more general forum such as dvinfo.net, creativecow.net, or dvxuser.com.

Primary and alternate email addresses need to be verified but a rescue email address doesn't, it can be added to an account and used without being verified (you will get a verify button when adding/changing it, but the system doesn't force it to be verified). I would hope that the person using the email address as their rescue email address will notice that they aren't getting reset emails and that after contacting Support to get their security questions / password reset he/she will check what they've set it to and change it. The OP won't be able to log into the other account as he/she won't know its primary or alternate ids.
