Matching IPhone 4 Footage With Sony Ex1 On Timeline?

So just like title says I'm shooting a prank comedy show using the Sony Ex1 camera as master with several Iphone 4's (not the new 4os) as reaction shots and I was wondering what was the best way to set up my sequence or have the footage be the same so I dont have to render after every edit. Shoud I make all the footage Apple Pro Res through MPG Streamclip or whats my best option? Thanks for reading.

If you open the clip in fcp and hit command-9 you'll call up the clip settings.  Look under field dominance and if the settings is "none" it's probably progressive, otherwise interlaced.
Usually combining progressive and interlaced in the timeline will not require rendering to at least view.  But I'm not sure.  Should be an easy enuf test to run.
I'd use compressor to convert the footage, but running tests on your workflow is crucial in this kind of project.  The frames control pane in compressor has controls for scaling that can make a big difference in quality.  Remember, you can set ins and outs in the preview window in compressor to do a test on a small section of a clip.  You can also customize and save presets as you do tests.

  • Editing footage with sony HXR-MC50E what cable or program do I need to transfer

    Editing footage with sony HXR-MC50E what cable or program do I need to transfer footage to computer and into Final Cut Pro?
    I am editing with Final Cut Pro
    I have a Mac
    My footage is on the HXR-MC50E

    One small correction-- you do not use File-->Import. You must use Log and Transfer in FCP 7 or Import From Camera/Import Media in FCP X. In FCP 7 the clips will be automatically converted to ProRes upon import. In FCP X you can choose to work with the native files (re-wrapped to .mov) or you can optionally transcode to ProRes. When importing in FCP X, enable the 'create optimized media files' option to convert to ProRes. If you do not enable this option the files will remain in their native codec.

  • Importing a CS3 file to CS4 project with Sony EX1 xml offline media error

    I'm importing CS3 projets into CS4 using Sony EX1 files.  In CS3, when you imported a folder containing EX1 HD files, both an XML and an MP4 file would pull into the bin, and if you brought the xml file onto the timeline, it would interpret and play.   In CS4, if the imported project contained references to the xml file, it displays the "Media Offline" thumbnail.   Is there a way to globally replace any reference to the xml file with the equiavlent mp4 file name?

    You can't go backwards.  For the offline issue, try this:

  • Combining SD footage with Sony EX 1080p footage

    Hey All -
    I have FCP 7 -I have SD footage I ripped from a DVD (640x480)
    I have Sony XDcam EX footage that was shot at 1920x1080p (23.97)
    The Codec that the EX footage was converted to is Apple XDcam EX 1080p24 (35mb)
    I have MPEG Steamclip or After Effects CS4 to convert the SD footage
    I need to edit the SD footage in the XDcam footage timeline.
    What are my options?? I know when you mix footage you usually have to render the footage.
    Any work arounds for my situation?
    thanks
    Matt

    Hey Shane
    Actually I havent had any problem playing the footage in a XDcam timeline -BUT I will take your advice into consideration
    The final product is going back to DVD and compressed for the web -
    I know this would be compressing the SD footage more but right now it doesnt matter. I was thinking of converting the DVD footage to QT -take that QT mov and make a 1920x1080 in After effects and put the SD footage inside of that and render that out so it will match the EX footage -that way I wont have to render in FCP.
    I know the client is going to want to use some of the SD footage --I just wanted to make it as easy as possible for me when the client is sitting there editing it with me

  • Unable to capture Canon HDV footage with Sony v1u camera

    I'm trying to capture hdv footage filmed with a canon video camera with my sony v1u.  My sony footage captures as it should, but the canon footage, although playing fine on the sony camera, will not capture to cs4.  Any suggestions? 

    Check all camera settings and make sure they match the original filming mode on the other camera... and veryify your PPro settings match
    If that doesn't work, try http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm

  • How do I pair an iphone 4 with sony wireless speaker?

    How do I pair an iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2, with a bluetooth device.  The phone will not pair with a Sony wireless speaker nor a basis peak fitness tracker.
    I have reset the network, turned the phone off and on and still no bluetooth connection.  The bluetooth emblem is at the top of the phone screen. I do not know if the phone has ever been paired with a bluetooth device.

    I found my problem.  The speaker was paired with a different iPhone.  I discontinued that pairing and tried to pair it with my iPhone 4 and it works perfectly.
    Thank you for your input.

  • What are the steps to using camera & color space matching on footage with multiple cameras?

    Hi there,
    I am new to speedgrade, and need to use the Camera and Color Space Matching technique to automatically color correct my sequence which contains footage from multiple cameras. I have watched all the videos on speedgrade on AdobeTV and lynda.com that I can find, but haven't been able to find one that actually shows me how to do so. Can anyone point me to a video/tutorial where I could learn the steps for the process or outline them for me if that is easier?
    Thanks!

    I'm in the same boat.  There is a new 'camera matching' function that premiered at NAB 2013, but when will it be actually available...?   As to your original question, look up getting a proper White and Black balances with each camera first. Learn how to work with HSL and RGB values etc, and I think Karl Seoule has some videos that cover this under 'Color Finesse' vids at Adobe TV.  Also check out the '3-Way Color Corrector' tuts and "Secondary Color Correction' tuts as well.  And finally either on Adobe TV or Creative Cow there is on video that actually talks about matching either 2 shots or 2 cameras as well.
    All this is to say here is no easy/simple way.  I'm hoping when Adobe introduces the Color Matching in Speed Grade we can just use stills as reference in Speed Grade, develop 'looks' that match the cameras and then apply the looks in Premiere without having to use the huge .dpx files that we have to use in Speed Grade now, but that may just be part of the process.

  • Cut section of footage with audio out of timeline - HOW??

    Hi I've tried to select a middle section of my timeline and cut it out and have the two sections join - how do I do this? I've tried cutting the back end and pasting over the middle section, but it will NOT overwrite the audio. Video will overwrite but it does not lay audio over with it.
    I've Tried using Extract audio when using "Paste over at Playhead" checked and not checked. It doesn't work either way. any help please?

    Hi dsafian - if I understand you correctly, removing a section is simple, but there are two scenarios and you do not give enough detail for us to know which one to describe, so here's both:
    1. Cutting a section out of a single clip: there is more than one way, but here's one. Place the playhead at the start of the part you want to remove and hit Command-T. That will split the clip at that point. Now go to the end of the unwanted part, and do the same. Then select the middle part and hit 'Delete'.
    2. Removing several clips: Select the first clip you want to remove, and then Shift-Click on the last clip to be removed. this will select all of the clips that you want removed. Now hit 'Delete'.
    Does that help? Tell us if we have misunderstood your problem.

  • Using iphone 4 with sony xplod dsx-s300btx

    i have recently purchased the dsx-s300btx for my car to link with my iphone 4. installed it today and everything seems to work fine, the only problem i am facing at the moment is the bluetooth connectivity affecting the audio playback.
    when connecting the iphone to the unit using the supplied iphone/ipod adaptor (within the tune tray) the audio plays fine through the 'internal usb device' source mode. when i connect the phone through bluetooth for calling/streaming these features also work fine
    what i am finding is however, that the unit is constantly recognising the phone and each time it does, i get a 'iPhone Connected' message come up on screen which is slightly annoying
    this also happens when i am using the iphone to play music in 'internal usb device', when the message appears and dissapears, the audio stops beind heard (even though the track appears to be playing - the seconds continue to tick on the track playing) when you change the track, change course, change input etc it doesn't right itself
    i am also suffering from horrendous interference through speakers (when you stand to near a hifi or tv with your phone) when the phone is in the tunetray making a call
    i would appreciate any help anyone has to offer, would like to get this sorted, thanks

  • Jittery footage with Sony NX5u

    Not sure if this is a camera question or editing, but I'll try the question in this forum first.
    I've filmed a dozen projects with my new Sony NX5u cameras but am just now getting around to editing the first one (big mistake ).
    Video is SD 720x480 60i. When I play it back it is fine on the computer monitor as well as the HD preview monitor (although the interlacing is bad - separate question probably) but when I burn it to DVD using iDVD and play it back on a regular SD television (not flatscreen / HD) it plays back very jittery, as if I filmed it with 1/30 shutter speed or in 24p and wasn't smooth. Even the static shots jitter but it's much worse with pans. The above setting on this camera should be the same as my older tape cameras (Panasonic DVX 100 series), right? 30 fps equals 60i.
    First off, could this be a camera issue or an editing/settings issue? Secondly, is there a fix?
    Oh, I have tried adding the deinterlace filter and MAYBE there is a slight improvement but not much.
    Thank you very much,
    Eric

  • Sony EX1 footage renders jumpy

    Hi,
    This is frustrating me to know end.
    I just imported a PPro Mac project into AE Mac with Sony EX1 footage.
    When I render, some of the clips jump back and forth (forward and backward) randomly.
    It plays fine in PPro and I can RAM Preview a single clip in a separate comp just fine, but a render or RAM Preview jumps.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm creating a work-around for the EX-1 black-dropped-out frames in After Effects (X64 CS3 CineForm):
    1. Edit a 'story board' in Premiere with the EX MP4 raw-files
    2. Convert only the files I need (from all the 150 shot) in the CineForm-HDlink app to .MOV files
    //filesize will become a little more, will shift a couple of frames from the MP4-raw, quality the same
    //HDlink is a BAD application, because I have to transcode every MP4 file seperately. MXF files are bugging in HDlink
    //HDlink does NOT trancode the audio into the new .MOV file! Sucks.
    3. Replace the Premiere 'edit-MP4-raw-files' with the converted .MOV files in After Effects
    4. Re-sync all the audio, 'export audio' from the MP4-raw files in Premiere to AE
    5. Voila! Render without troubles
    I love Quicktime!
    -Yeah, it sucks not to work natively-
    Any new suggestions would really be appreciated!

  • The Sony EX1 and CS3!

    Has anybody here edited with Sony EX1 footage? Is it better to edit in CS3 and Prospect or CS4 native? People who have tried either way might share their experiences. Thank you.

    I've edited hours and hours of the stuff in CS3 native. The 3.2 update adds support for XDCAM EX.
    The trial versions (CS3 or 4) will not have this support as the MPEG 2 decoder is not included in trial versions. Adobe would have to pay for the MPEG 2 license for each downloaded trial version. Full versions of CS3 and CS4 have support for XDCAM EX natively.
