Need change preset if adding HDV footage to SD project?

How  do you accomplish that and what are the results to the new HDV  and the old SD footage?

Though of no help in PrE, PrPro CS4 allows one to mix footage through different Presets for different Sequences (think mini-Projects in one major Project). Even earlier versions of PrPro could not do this, and one had to do separate Projects, as the Presets were Project-based, and not Sequence-based, though earlier versions did have Sequences.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • I need more help importing Z1 HDV footage

    I'm trying to import HDV footage that was filed on a Z1
    I tried to log and capture the footage from a tape reader with the HDV 1080i50 Easy Setup preset, but the screen was blank. I could see the footage on the tape reader screen but not in Final Cut.
    I tried using different fire wires and different MACS but still no joy. As a final resort I tried a different MAC without changing the Easy Setup and leaving the project on the DV Pal preset, and it worked.
    Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? If I captured the project using the DV Pal preset, wouldn't the footage be overly-compressed? Or Am I thinking about this all wrong? The footage is definitely HDV!
    And while I'm here does anyone know of any material that I could 'study' to help me understand the setups/compressions etc. I find it really confusing!
    Thanks again
    Ian

    Most likely the camera is set to downconvert to PAL and iLink is switched on.

  • Need to make dailies of HDV footage

    I have 3 hours of HDV footage that I need to put to tape, DVD, or whatever.
    everything I try is telling me it's going to take 20 hours.
    I tried exporting 3 1 hour sequences using compressor. i've tried just going back to tape. why is everything taking so long. I need this to work overnight. I am.
    The latest thing I tried was copying the footage to a DV sequence. now I'm rendering that and it's saying 10 hours. If that works I can dump it onto a 184 minute DVCAM tape and everything will be fine. but this seems like a lot of work. am I doing something wrong?

    Jake,
    20 hours does seem like an awful lot. Are you trying to render in the timeline, and its taking hours, or are you rendering inside compressor?
    When I need to get something off fast, I just edit to tape on a miniDV. Is there a reason you can't do this? If that won't do, I use File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion and burn it onto a DVD. It's the fastest method I know of.
    I'm guessing since these are dailies that they don't need to be of superior quality, that said the above Quicktime process isn't exactly great in terms of quality. But some footage to show is better than no footage to show. Anyway I'm just guessing you are looking for solutions ASAP and I'm sure someone else will have better solutions, but until then, maybe this will suffice for you?

  • Purchase Order - I need change subject E-mail

    Hi All,
    When I create an e-mail trough the transaction code ME23N and I try to send the e-mail trough the transaction code ME9F the e-mail arrives with a default subject (PROGRAM NAME + CURRENT DATE), I need change the subject according the necessity of the project.
    Can someone help me, please ?
    Thanks a lot !!!

    Hi,
    Check out what Dhruba has suggested below first, but if the program has been set up to do this instead try the following
    Go to transaction OMFE and look down the list to see which program has been allocated to the Output type and medium that you are using (probably NEU and 5 or 7? if you are using the standard oputput condition types).
    Then get your ABAP programmer to check and change the code of that program.

  • Debug Event when importing HDV footage

    In short:
    When I try to import HDV footage into a project (.mpeg format),
    I receive the following message:
    Premiere Pro Debug Event
    premiere pro has encountered an error.
    [..\..\src\time.cpp-105]
    Subsequently premiere fails to import the files...
    I first noticed this problem last week, so I thought it might
    be related to a product update. But even when uninstalling Premiere
    Pro and re-installing it (thus being version 3.0) the problem
    still exists. Updating to 3.2 doesn't solve the issue either.
    Does anyone recognize this issue?
    regards,
    Reinout van Schie

    Perhaps
    this?
    Cheers

  • 7.2.1: Can't add any new Footage to existing Project (PC)

    After updating to 7.2.1 and adding new Footage to a project, the project gets unusable. The whole project plays no sound any more. After pressing "SPACE" to play the clips I only hear a strange cracking sound and then silence.
    Anyone else with this behaviour?

    If you haven't already  cleared the cache files, I'd try that. To do so, delete all the contents of the "Media Cache" and "Media Cache Files" folders here:
    Mac: /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common
    Windows: c:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common. You should find two cache folders there. (If you can't find the AppData folder, you'll have to set Windows Explorer to show hidden files.)

    what you mean by based on date??
    When ever the data is refereshed in targets that will be reflected in reports provided if you dont have any aggreagates...if you have then you need to do rollup activity..

  • Error message when adding a filter to DV and HDV footage

    Hi,
    I do not understand why I am getting an error message saying,
    " The effect 'refraction, twirl, insect eye' failed to render: Your Hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth"
    Can some help me out?
    I have a first generation Mac Pro 2..66 with 8gb of ram and the Ati radeon and Nvidia graffics card. This is a high end computer, why can't it render a video filter like refraction and son on?
    I tried re-installing FCP and erasing those files in the preferences folder, but still not luck.
    To make matters worse the render works on my MacBook Pro (1st gen.) and not on the Mac Pro quad core?
    There must be something going on in my settings, is anybody else having this problem?
    The footage I am working with are 2 formats, one is DV Ntsc shot with a DVX 100 and the other one I was working with HDV footage.
    Why am I not able to render with the hardware power of this monster computer.
    Thanks for you help,
    Alessandro

    Hi Varkgirl,
    That would be great but I don't really know where to start with this. Can you help?
    Sorry for the delay in responding but I run my own business as well as doing my wife's website.
    My email address is [email protected] if you could send me your advice that way if it's ok with you.
    Thanks.

  • Sequence Settings for HDV footage to create SD 16 x 9 -help!

    I shot HDV footage (using Sony Z1U) and want to use it as SD footage in final cut.
    How do I set up a sequence to be able to create an SD sequence in 16 x 9? Which sequence settings should I choose for this?
    Also, do I need to capture the footage as Anamorphic 16:9 or can I simply check the Anamporphic 16:9 box?
    Thanks, Joel

    HDV has a natively wide aspect ratio, and is not anamorphic (stretched) like SD widescreen.
    FCP seems unable to correctly allow for the reversed field order of HDV when converting to SD with software, whether exporting QT, going direct to compressor, or nesting into SD and rendering.
    Also, if you go direct to compressor from your HDV sequence, type elements and pixel layers will shift around and change aspect ratio.
    I have had good luck exporting a self-contained native HDV movie and running that through compressor, though I am forced to turn frame controls off in my compressor preset, which throws out every other field and gives a pattern of progressive frames where every 5th frame is repeated. Our producer called it the "max headroom" effect.
    If you know you won't need HDV output for the current planned workflow of your project, I would start by capturing SD by turning on the DV downconvert setting on your HDV deck. You'll save yourself a lot of time and headaches.
    Otherwise, if you want to work in native HDV, output and HDV master of the finished sequences and recapture those as DV if you want to retain the origiinal fields in your SD output, whether to tape or to mpeg2.
    When you recapture as DV, whether the original source, or a recapture of you finished master, that's the point at which you'll want to capture anamorphic.

  • Combining 1080i and 1080p HDV footage on single timeline, for SD output?

    Hi All
    Help! I'm a cameraperson/director who was has just shot a largeish doccie project on a Sony HVR-V1E. My technical background is in stills, so I hope you'll forgive some ignorance here.
    BACKGROUND: The vast majority of the footage was shot HDV using the 25fps prog scan mode on the camera. I really don't like interlace jaggies and I was advised that this was the obvious way of getting away from them, and made for very useable footage when output as standard def interlaced PAL. However, some footage for the project was also shot on a small Sony HDR-HC9 (PAL) camera. The HC9 has no progressive scan mode, i.e. this footage is 1080i50.
    The primary broadcaster for this doccie requires delivery on Beta SP, standard def PAL. Because of the 16:9 aspect ratio of the HDV format, the film will be delivered letterboxed, black above and below.
    THE MAIN QUESTION: We'll be editing in FCP 6.0 . My editor is more of an Avid person, and is concerned that without proper setup we'l end up with issues later on when we downsize to SD, especially because we'll be combining prog-scanned footage with interlace-scanned footage. We need to know whether to set the sequence presets as HDV 1080i50 or HDV 1080p25.
    We're planning to edit as an HDV project and downscale to SD using Compressor. I know this downscaling is likely to take a long time, however we've been advised that editing in HDV is less intensive than going the ProRes route, and the quality of the Compressor downscale is better than that of the other 'within FCP' options.
    I've been advised to set the sequence preset to i50, but I'm not sure if Compressor has a harder time resizing interlaced footage than progressive footage. Common sense tell me it'll be easier to resize a progressive frame and then split it into two interlaced fields without artifacts, than resizing and regenerating interlaced fields from 1080 down to PAL dimensions. However, if the sequence preset is p25, will FCP deal with the bits of i50 footage in the project OK?
    Also, I've been told but cannot confirm that the Sony HVR-V1E camera scans progressively in 25fps prog scan mode, but encodes each progressively-scanned image as two interlaced fields on the tape, i.e. as 1080i50 images. Is this true? If so, it would surely mean that the sequence preset should be 1080i50 with progressive-scanned imagery emanating from this model of camera.
    I hope this makes sense!
    Regards

    Hi,
    FCP is open format timeline based, so it will transcode the footage according to the first clip on the timeline. so it will not be a problem for two different formats. i've used DVCAM, HDV formats together it has done for me nicely.
    but check the result before proceding further ahed in edit in both preset format.
    and using Compressor is not a good idea for broadcast I believe, it is ok if there is no other option is with you. It is better to do it with the hardware rather than software.
    I use realtime Blackmagic hardware for down converting HD to SD with letterbox directly to tape.

  • How to change Preset settings (CS4)

    Hello everyone,
    I'm going to make a video with Adobe Premiere CS4 and I need to know how to change Preset settings or however it is called, because I think none of the Presets match with my videos (tried some and my videos were bigger or smaller).
    My videos are .mov, 800x600, made and rendered in Autodesk 3ds Studio Max 2010 (3D Program).
    Could someone please help me? I don't know if there's a preset for me or if I have to change settings or something like that (and where). Yes, I'm new! I'm from Spain if you need it.
    Feel free to ask anything you need, of course.
    Thanks in advance,
    Marta

    Marta,
    Welcome to the forum.
    In CS4 and CS5, one can set the Preset at the Sequence level. Before, it was more global, at the Project level.
    In Sequence New, you will choose the Desktop Preset, and then you can alter almost every displayed attribute, such as Frame Size, or Frame Rate, etc. you want to match your Sequence to your source footage 100%. After editing with those attributes matching, you can then Export to a desired output setting with AME (Adobe Media Encoder). You choice of Desktop, allows you to customize the settings to match. I wish that Adobe had named it "Custom," as the term "Desktop" is a bit abstract, though it has been around for a very long time.
    Good luck, and do match your Sequence settings (Desktop) to your source footage.

  • *** Do I choose "squeeze" or "letterbox" when down-converting HDV footage

    I'm not sure which setting to choose here so I'm hoping somone can help. I have printed my HDV footage to tape and would like to bring it back into FCP down-converted. I'm working from the Sony HDV deck. I know to go to iLink and change the settings there, but do I change them to "squeeze" or "letterbox"?

    What are you hoping to do with the downconverted footage?
    If you'll need to make Anamorphic DVDs - or fill any type of 16:9 display, for that matter (even if it is from tape, projector or computer) - you're best off choosing "Squeeze."
    You can then drop that footage into an Anamorphic timeline and be good to go.
    If you choose letterbox, you'll have a 4:3 image with black bars as part of the image. I suppose that's not an issue if you're only producing material for 4:3 masters but considering how many 'how do I make my 4:3 material fit a 16:9 TV' threads we've had here in the last month, I'd personally avoid that.

  • Capture Sony FX1 HDV footage in FCP 5.0.4

    Hi,
    Tomorrow we'll have to capture a lot of footage from a Sony FX1 HDV.
    I have no experience with this camcorder.
    What are the best capture settings in FCP ?
    We want the native HDV footage.
    thanks

    The best capture settings are those that match how you shot the footage.
    If it is HDV1080i/60, then obviously you elect the capture preset.

  • Trouble capturing HDV footage from Sony Z5U in FCE4 - any ideas?

    I've shot about half an hour of HDV footage with the Sony Z5U. Have the computer at home connected to my Mac with a firewire. Tried with both firewires that I own. I've used a similar camera before to capture footage recently with no problems.
    Gone through the Easy Setup in FCE4 and changed it to HD, HDV1080i60. In the camera, the VCR mode is set for HDV, the Video Out for Component says "1080i/480i", the down convert and DV wide convert are for letter box.
    Any ideas on what the problem is? Do I just have 2 bad Firewire cables? or a bad port on my computer/camera?

    Do you want to downconvert, or do you want to capture HD? Switch off downconvert. Switch off iLink.

  • Digitizing HDV footage with a Consumer Grade HD Camcorder

    I have HDV footage on mini-digital tape. I need to digitize using Final Cut Pro. I shot the footage using a Sony HVR-V1U camera at 24p (an HDV camera and recorded onto mini-digital tape. I no longer have convenient access to the Sony HDV camera and was wondering if I can simply use a consumer grade high-definition camcorder to digitize the footage into my computer. If so, is there any quality degradation?
