Mixing AVCHD 50p and 25p

Hi everybody !
I just shot an interview with two cameras.
One was a DSLR 60D, and the other an AVCHD Panasonic AF-101. There was also a sound recorder getting the sound directly from microphones.
The thing is the AF-101 was a rented camera and the operator wasn't used to work with it, so it might have been a set-up problem.
Now we need to edit this footage on Premiere Pro, and that's where the problem begins
When i import the AF101 footage into Premiere, he tells me that it is 1080/25p (like it's supposed to be from what we wanted), but in VLC i can see that it is 1080/50p, or more precisely :
"Codec : H264 - MPEG-4AVC (Part 10) (h264)
Planar 4:2:0 YUV
Image Frequency : 50"
When i mix both footage - 60D 1080/25p and the supposely AF101 1080/25p - the footage from the Panasonic is out of sync !
The sound recorder and the 60D mix perfectly together, but the AF101 is definitely a bit in slow-motion, and Premiere keep teeling me that's 25p.
When i try to convert it from 50p to 25p, it doesn't change anything (as Premiere already interpreted the footage in 25p).
I'm reaching my knowledge's limit with this and still the Panasonic footage is the most important for us.
If there a way at least to put the independant sounds recordings into 50p that would be great.
I hope someone can provide some hints to resolve this
Thanks everybody !!

FCPX does edit 1080/50p, but it doesn't import it.
huh?
I'm using lots of 720/60p, which works like charme - 'cause it within the AVCHD v1 specs.
1080/p or material beyond >24mbps bitrate are in AVCHD v2 specs.
FCPX imports only AVCHD v1. but, when you manually convert 1080/50p/60p into proRes, it works with such material .... common recommendation is CLIPWRAP.
a 'free', less convenient way I'm describing here ...

or, fingers crossed, Apple updates its apps to the new standard v2 ...

  • Project settings for mixing AVCHD and iPhone video

    Hello,
    It seems that getting the correct project settings is imporant to Premiere, but what if I would like to mix AVCHD video with iPhone 3GS video?  Which project settings would I select in this case?
    Thank you.

    This question aroused my curiosity and I tried mixing 1080i AVCHD and Nokia phone .3gp video on an 1080i AVCHD timeline in PE8 - the 3gp video played fine, the AVCHD video needed the timeline rendered to give a decent quality playback.  I realise that's different from iPhone video, but I'm simply suggesting that it's worth trying, and that project presets don't necessarily mean that only the preset file type will work.
    I have to say that this whole project settings thing is a mystery to me.  Why does a 1080i AVCHD preset make a better job of playing back 3gp video from the timeline than it does playing back 1080i AVCHD?  Weird. Why not just handle all that in the background (eg without asking the user for any settings at all, like one NLE here does, or simply setting the timeline to the first clip of the project (optionally) like another one here does?
    As for the comment earlier on about background rendering - here (after a day or so) it seems to be not a very useful thing.  Much grinding by the CPU for a very slow result.  To get the timeline to play smoothly it's much quicker to position the work area bar as required and hit "enter".  Also, one has to watch for the new analysis process, which once started seems to create an everlasting CPU intensive process even if you cancel it.  You have to keep a sharp eye on the process manager and see what's consuming CPU cycles (if you don't know already) and kill any apparently rouge Adobe-related processes by hand.  "Bmem" is your friend here, which is about the first thing I install on any PC of mine - badmofo.org/bmem is the site for this excellent freeware app.

    Working with AVCHD: Log and Transfer FAQs
    Log and Transfer was introduced to the product chain in Final Cut Express 4, and is the program's process for ingesting files in the AVCHD format utilizing MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video coding and either Dolby AC-3 or uncompressed linear PCM audio coding. The most frequently observed problems relating to the Log and Transfer process are generally quite easily addressed.
    What should I know before attempting to ingest my footage?
    The following facts regarding the Log and Transfer process were adapted from the [Apple Knowledge Base article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24840?viewlocale=en_US] on transferring AVCHD in Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 but still hold true for the current version of FCE:
    AVCHD support is available only on Intel-based Macintosh computers.
    AVCHD camcorders typically connect to computers via USB 2.0, not FireWire.
    DVD-based AVCHD camcorders are not supported in Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier.
    Standard definition video recorded with AVCHD camcorders cannot be accessed in the Log and Transfer window. SD and HD clips should not be mixed on the same HDD.
    Preview of AVCHD video in the Log and Transfer window is limited to 1x forward playback. Scrubbing the playhead does not update the video in the Preview area until you stop scrubbing.
    When you choose to transfer AVCHD audio in the Logging area, audio is automatically mixed down to stereo.
    AVCHD footage is not ingested natively but is transcoded to the Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Apple Intermediate Codec files are significantly larger than the original AVCHD files. FCE does not estimate the size of a transcoded AVCHD file before ingesting, so it is possible to exceed the available space on your capture disk during transfer. Before ingesting, keep in mind that the disk space required is about ten times greater than the size of the native AVCHD file.
    Which specific formats can be ingested by Log and Transfer?
    Only AVCHD footage can be ingested through the Log and Transfer process. Other formats and variants such as AVCHD Lite are not supported. All video should be recorded in a frame size of either 1440x1080 or 1920x1080 and a frame rate of 25 or 29.97 frames per second. Audio recorded on AVCHD camcorders is generally at a rate of 48kHz. If your camera shoots in a format that does not comply with one of these setups then it is most likely not supported by the application and is not guaranteed to work correctly.
    Which Easy Setup preset should I select before ingesting my footage?
    It is extremely important to select the preset that matches your media before you attempt to ingest via Log and Transfer. There is only one Easy Setup preset that matches the frame size and rate of your footage. If you intend to ingest AVCHD clips through Log and Transfer you will first need to select one of the following presets:
    AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i50
    AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i60
    AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i50
    AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60
    If these four options do not appear under your Easy Setup list then you probably need to run Software Update and update to FCE 4.0.1. DO NOT cycle through the available presets until you find one that works - there is only one preset that matches your media and it should be evident which one to choose by the way it is named. Select the AVCHD preset that mentions your frame size and frame rate (i50 presets support both 50i and 25p frame rates; similarly, i60 presets support both 60i and 29.97p frame rates). If you do cycle through many options in the hope of selecting the correct one through guess-and-check you will probably have corrupted your preference file and need to [trash your preferences|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2611] before continuing.
    Why don't my clips appear when I open the Log and Transfer window?
    Make sure your camcorder records AVCHD in a format supported by FCE4. It should be connected to one of your computer's USB ports (never connect it to an external hard drive or other external device such as your keyboard or a USB hub), powered on, and set to video playback mode.
    If the camcorder +does not+ mount on your Desktop your USB port or cable may be malfunctioning. Try plugging it in to another port or using a different USB cable to see if it makes a difference.
    If the camcorder does mount on your Desktop but the clips do not appear in the Log and Transfer window you will need to point the program to the directory that contains your media.
    First, click the Add Folder button in the upper left of the Log and Transfer window. The button looks like this:
    Then, you will need to navigate to the root directory in which your media is stored. Most camcorders call this folder "PRIVATE" or "AVCHD" and it should be located at the very top level of the camcorder when mounted. If your camcorder records to a valid AVCHD directory structure then your clips should load after the Add Folder process is completed.
    I would like to keep a working backup of my original clips so that I can delete them off the camcorder's internal memory. How should I do this?
    There are two main ways to keep a backup of your clips. The first is to ingest every clip on your camcorder through the Log and Transfer process, and store the Apple Intermediate Codec files the application creates in an easily accessible place such as an external FireWire drive. The advantage of this method is that you have the ability to open back up old editing projects, reconnect the media as necessary, and keep going as if you'd never left. However, due to the large amount of space AIC takes up (usually somewhere in the vicinity of 41-50GB an hour when transcoded from AVCHD), this is not always feasible.
    Another often preferable approach is to copy over the root directory in which your clips are stored (usually named "PRIVATE" or "AVCHD") from the camcorder to your computer or an external drive. As long as you maintain the original file structure, you will be able to ingest your clips again at a later date using the "Add Folder" process detailed above to navigate to their new location.
    My clips appear, but when I attempt to ingest a red exclamation point appears and the window displays the message "Error: No Data"
    This is one of the most common problems that users experience when trying to ingest their media through the Log and Transfer process. Luckily, it also has one of the easiest solutions.
    In the Log and Transfer window, click on the gear icon in the top right and select "Preferences" in the contextual menu that appears.
    Make sure the video is set to transcode to the Apple Intermediate Codec and the audio is set to Plain Stereo.
    After doing so, hit OK and try to ingest again.
    I am experiencing a problem that is not covered in this tip or the solutions here do not work.

  • Convert 50p to 25p without speed change

    Hi there,
    I have got a bit of a complex shoot coming up, so was looking for some advice please.
    I am filming a one-shot video. There are a few sections which slow down to half speed and a few that go to double. I am filming it at 50p, so when I edit, I can halve the speed to get a nice slo mo at 25p is great for some moments and then have some of it running at 'real time' and then double the speed for the other parts.
    The issue is that I don't want the other two sections (the 'real time' and double speed) to be at 50p and 100p respectively. Is there any way I can convert those sections to 25p, so it all ends up at 25p?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply!
    Two questions though- I read that when I convert 50p to 25p (either by starting a new timeline set at 25p, or by first importing a 25p clip...all good with that bit), that the effect can be quite jumpy. Is there any way to avert this? I read about Cinema Tools, and have been told that is the best option? Wanted to get some others thoughts on this.
    I hope I can explain this next bit well- as it is a one shot video, I will import the whole take into the timeline, make a few cuts with the blade and double/half sections as needs be. Do I want to convert the whole thing to 25p before I do that though? As I will lose the option to half the speed.....

  • How does one Conform 50p to 25P?

    Now Cinema Tools is out of the equation.. how does one conform 50p to 25p within FCPX? I dont want to use Optical FLow in Motion.. thats not conforming and takes way too long, plus is not as good for a SloMo effect.

    No...because CT does a frame for frame conform. FCP does not have that option. What is wrong with doing it with CT?

  • Is there a way to "mix" the nodes and leaves of the tree so if they are at the same level, they will display in a specified order.

    Is there a way to "mix" the nodes and leaves of the tree so that even if they are at the same level (1,2,3...), they will display in a specified order (via sort sequence, alphabetical, etc.).
    History:
    We are using the Tree UI element to display/manage a material bom interface. We seem to be running into an issue with displaying the nodes/leaves of the tree.. regardless of the order that the context is built (which is currently the order of the exploded BOM from from CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2), the bom is displayed with the nested boms at the top of each level and the single materials below them. For example. If  TK1 contains Material1, Material2, Material3, Kit1(containing component1, comp2, comp3), Material4, Kit2(containing comp4, comp5, comp6), and Material5 (in this order), the tree will display with the A level node as TK1, the next node as Kit1 (with its subleaves of comp1,comp2,comp3), Kit2(with subleaves of comp4,comp5,comp6), THEN Material1, material2, material3, material4, material5.  Our users are adamant about the items displaying in the correct order (which should be alphabetical based on the description for one report and by location for purposes of inventory for another). I've searched but not been able to locate a similar question. If I've missed it, please point me in the right direction. The users want the tree,  not a "tree" table.  This is our first attempt at the tree, so maybe we're missing something basic?
    TK1
    -Mat1
    -Mat2
    -Mat3
    -Kit1
    --Comp1
    --Comp2
    --Comp3
    -Mat4
    -Kit2
    --Comp4
    --comp5
    --comp6
    -Material5
    displays as
    TK1
    -Kit1
    --Comp1
    --Comp2
    --Comp3
    -Kit2
    --Comp4
    --Comp5
    --Comp6
    -Mat1
    -Mat2
    -Mat3
    -Mat4
    -Mat5

    co-workers said example picture is misleading.. we can make the order work if everything is a "folder" but not a mix of "folders" and "files" (if making a visual reference to the windows browser). i.e - a file is represented as an empty folder.
    TK1    
    . Mat1
    . Mat2
    . mat3
    > kit1   
    .. comp1
    .. comp2
    .. comp3
    . mat4
    > kit2
    .. comp4
    .. comp5
    .. comp6
    . mat5
    displays at
    TK1
    > kit1
    .. comp1
    .. comp2
    .. comp3
    > kit2
    .. comp4
    .. comp5
    .. comp6
    . mat1
    . mat2
    . mat3
    . mat4
    . mat5
    we can make it work if everything is a folder. This is our current workaround.
    TK1
    > mat1
    > mat2
    > mat3
    v kit1 (when expanded)
    .. comp1
    .. comp2
    .. comp3
    > mat4
    > kit2 (when not expanded)
    > mat5

  • I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?

    I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?
    I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
    thanks!

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
    You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

  • Workflow for avchd clips and meta data

    Just started using a Panasonic AG-AF100 on a 5 month project.  Will be producing 1000's of clips.  So I have off-loaded the first 3 cards we shot and have discovered something about avccam material.  If you just copy the .MTS files from their /stream folder or rename the file with a name instead of its original number produced in the camera you lose the timecode and other meta data.
    If I leave the clips in that folder and other card folders in their associated directories and "import" clip with Premiere Media Browser it retains the timecode.  Trouble is that I cannot see thumbnails in Media Browser and the clip number means little.  Bridge on my Win7/64bit machine shows thumbnails (but no preview) and a double-click will preview in Win Media Player.
    On my main edit station (Vista/64bit) Bridge neither shows thumbnails or previews and I get no avchd .mts playback in Windows Media Player.  Everything worrks the same within Premiere, nice solid editing and playback of avchd clips. (I will probably upgrade this machine to Win7 next week)
    So my request for advice/questions are:
    Suggestions for managing and organizing large qualities of clips with what will be similar names, etc
    Previewing updates or options to find media
    How do you manage AVCHD material and still maintain meta data?
    Thanks so much!!  As I get older and the technology seems faster, stronger, sharper, the demands on my brain get tougher.
    Rick

    Rick,
    If you just copy the .MTS files from their /stream folder or rename the file with a name instead of its original number produced in the camera you lose the timecode and other meta data. 
    If I leave the clips in that folder and other card folders in their associated directories and "import" clip with Premiere Media Browser it retains the timecode.
    You mustmustmust keep the files in their folder structure, if you intend to maintain timecode. You've clearly discovered this Good you did so early. The folder structure thing is really not a big deal; there is very little need to manipulate these at the OS level, and the Media Browser in PPro makes it reasonably easy to bring these in for editing. You can pre-build a folder structure into which you can offload each card's worth of clips.
    Trouble is that I cannot see thumbnails in Media Browser and the clip number means little.  Bridge on my Win7/64bit machine shows thumbnails (but no preview) and a double-click will preview in Win Media Player. 
    On my main edit station (Vista/64bit) Bridge neither shows thumbnails or previews and I get no avchd .mts playback in Windows Media Player.  Everything worrks the same within Premiere, nice solid editing and playback of avchd clips. (I will probably upgrade this machine to Win7 next week)
    Windows 7 has built-in splitters and decoders for H.264 media, so that's the reason you can at least get thumbnails in Bridge and playback the files in WMP there. The Media Browser, even on Windows 7, won't show thumbnails as they are not saved into the folder structure the way that P2 saves a poster image into the folder structure. Note that even "standard" containers like AVI or MOV do not display a thumbnail in Media Browser.
    As far as Bridge is concerned: I know a lot of people like it, but from my perspective, it's just about worthless for video. This is largely an application designed for photography workflows that has been shoehorned into "working" with video. I don't even like it for AVI/MOV.
    The ugly truth is that Bridge is not going to be much, if any, help in this workflow. However, there may be another tool in the suite that will accomplish what you need: OnLocation. You won't get thumbnails, but you can browse through the folder structure without knowing you're doing it, import clips to preview them, and add metadata. You could do this for each card you offload. Then, in Premiere, simply use Media Browser to navigate to your OnLocation Project, and it will open up just like a folder, listing all your clips with the metadata you added. Granted, it is not a perfect workflow, but once you added that metadata, it will flow with the files wherever you move them around in the Adobe suite--it won't go elsewhere, as it's not injected into the files themselves. So long as you're editing in Premiere, you're good.
    Now, there is another thing you can do that may make clip management even easier, though it does require a bit of forethought in pre-production. It will really depend on the type of project you're shooting, but you can preload metadata on to an SD card and into the camera, and then automatically record this to the clips as they are shot! I don't have an AVCCAM to give you exact workflow steps, but I do this all the time with my P2 workflow and it's a tremendous help once you hit the edit bay.
    If you haven't already, head over to the Panasonic support site: Support Desk Top / Broadcast and Professional AV. You'll need to register for a "PASS" membership (it's free, and you don't need to register a camera), but you can then download the AVCCAM Viewer application. Unfortunately, this application is not quite as helpful as P2 Viewer is (it's rather cartoony, actually), but it does have the metadata editor in it that will let you create your metadata files in advance and save them to an SD card. Then, after consulting the camera manual , you can set those metadata files to be a data source for the footage as you record it. Here's what you can add to the metadata files and, summarily, the clips:
    Once you load this into the camera's memory, that data is saved into the clips, and is readable by Premiere. The "User Clip Name" field can be set to auto-increment (again, this is going off my knowledge of the way metadata works in a P2 camera, but the AVCCAM should be similar) so that each clip has a base name and then a serial number. When you're done with a particular scene/shot, you'd load the next metadata files, reset the indexing, and continue. Lather, rinse, repeat.
    The biggest hole in the metadata workflow, at least as it pertains to AVCHD/AVCCAM, is that there is no tool (that I'm aware of) that lets you edit this metadata after the fact. With P2, you can--there are a number of applications, both free and payware, that let you do this--but I've yet to find one that works with AVCCAM. Even Panasonic's own AVCCAM Viewer is incapable of this, it seems.
    The major advantage to adding file metadata like this is that it travels wherever the clips go, and into whatever application they land in. Not being able to edit it after the fact, though, just plain sucks. This is where the clip metadata you'd add in the Adobe applications comes into play, with the obvious disadvantage that it's only useful in Adobeland. As always, ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
    So that's my take on this--it's good you're looking into this before you have a couple terabytes worth of footage on hand Let me know if I can help fill in any details that I might have overlooked. And be sure to check on the Panasonic site linked above for firmware updates to the AF100--I see one came out just a few days ago. It's always good to stay current.
    Good luck!

  • How do I get AVCHD Lite and AVCHD videos to play in Front Row?

    How do I get AVCHD Lite and AVCHD videos to play in Front Row? They use the .mts file extension, and can be played in VLC.

    You will have to be able to play them in QuickTime before they'll be available in Front Row. It looks like the current version of iMovie will edit/play AVCHD movies. Can you put one of your videos into iMovie and export it as a QuickTime file?

  • Mix of Arabic and English causes problems in JTextArea

    I have a JTextArea which displays HTML of an Arabic web page. So it's essentially a mix of English and Arabic. In the JTextArea, with columns set to 30, certain text just disappears instead of wrapping properly. The weird thing is that if I copy the invisible text and paste it into Notepad, then I can see it in Notepad. If I change the number of columns to 40, everything displays fine. Any ideas?

    It seems that Arabic is not the problem here. It is something to do with tabs. All the lines that disappear begin with 5 tabs. If I remove one tab so that they begin with 4 tabs, then they appear fine in the JTextArea

  • Mixed content - https and http

    Guys and Gals -
    I have a page that has mixed content - http and https. Users talk to my webserver
    using https, which talks to the portal server using http.
    The browser popups a warning saying that the site has mixed content. Is there
    any way to prevent this warning from coming up? Anything I can do using a proxy
    or something else?
    Thanks

  • Outbound Delivery Processing - mix of serialized and non-serialized product

    Has anyone configured the outbound delivery processing scenario in AII to handle a mix of serialized and non-serialized products? How do you handle packing & loading transactions where you have a mix of serialized and non-serialized products in the same shipment?

    Closed..

  • Mixed phone numbers and names after sinc N9 and ov...

    I have problem with my contact list. After i synchonised my previous N79 with N9, everything was fine. AFter adding new contacts to the new phone i wanted to synchronise it with ovi, i did so but it made completely mess with all my contacts. I cant say if i miss any numbers but it was way worse, it has mixed up names and numbers without any sence so I realised that under name A i had a phonecontact of B and C. At some names were suddenly no phone numbers. And some of them were even doubled - like there was the same number saved under both A and B but it belonged to C. I hate it, had to rewrite all the ontact list manually along the old phone. That took me hours if anyone can imagine. Now Im not brave enough to try the sync again eventhough i need to do that... Anyone having the same problem or even better - solution?

    Try plugging your iPad into your computer and opening iTunes. Select your iPad underdevices on the left side of the screen and right click. You should be given an option torestore from a backup.
    If this option is not available to you, you can go through the Summary tab of your iPad on the right side of the screen and if you scroll down under iCloud you should get an option to restore from a previous backup, where you select the most recent backup to put on your iPad.
    Hope that helps.
