Need Help Determining Least Common Demoninator for Frame Rate, Codec, and Workflow

I need help determining the best timeline setting and Compressor workflow to integrate footage with varying frame rates and codecs that I'm currently upres'ing for a multi-camera concert performance destined for HD broadcast output. I'm assuming the network needs 29.97.
Thus far, I've been working with Apple ProRes Proxy files to create lo-res edits. Now, I've started the task of offlining and ingesting new, HD clips from the proxy references. The content originates from either Panasonic HVX200 or Panasonic GH1 cameras.
Looking at the material, it appears the cameras were not shooting with the same settings and, somehow, a PAL GH1 got into the mix. Some of the performances have the PAL GH1 and other do not.
Here's the breakdown of the varying sources. I got this info from the Log & Transfer columns.
HVX Cameras
Format: 1080p24
Source Format: DVCPRO HD 1080i60
Shooting Rate: 24
Vid Rate: 29.97
TC Format: Non-Drop
GH1 NTSC
Format: 1080i60
Source Format: AVCHD 1080i60
Shooting Rate: 30
Video Rate: 29.97
TC Format: Drop
GH1 PAL
Format: 1080i50
Source Format: AVCHD 1080i50
Shooting Rate: 25
Video Rate: 25
TC Format: Non-Drop
ANOTHER GH1 NTSC
Format: 1080p24
Source Format: AVCHD 1080p24
Shooting Rate: 24
Video Rate: 23.98
TC Format: Non-Drop

Call the TV station/network and get their spec sheet first. You need to know more than frame rate.
Once you have that, you can work backwards to arrive at a workflow.
As a general priniciple, you'll get a more seamless translation of format when you add frames rather than removing them. (eg 24p to 27.97 rather than 29.97 to 24p)
At least all the material starts out in the 1080 world.
Do all your conversions before you start editing. (I'd use ProRes or ProRes LT for the editing codec).
Budget a bunch of time to sync the material or figure out a quick cutting style that minimizes sync drift.
What a nightmare.

    Vera,
    Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
    Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.

  • I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a

    I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
    Product: D110a all-in-one
    OS: Windows XP Professional
    Error messages: None
    Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
    The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
    IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
    When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
    least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
    It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
    out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
    Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
    printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
    trunk is a round, solid object.
    I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
    I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
    how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
    I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

    Hi everyone,
    I noticed the following message when network starts on my gateway
    Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
    Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
    connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
    Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
    Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
    INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
    eth0="dhcp"
    eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
    eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
    No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
    But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
    Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
    Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
    brazzmonkey,
    you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
    Use, f.e., netcfg:
    Comment your old lines.
    In /etc/rc.conf insert:
    NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
    DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
    In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
    First one is named  Eth0-dhcp.
    Contents:
    CONNECTION="ethernet"
    DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
    INTERFACE=eth0
    HOSTNAME="your hostname"
    IP="dhcp"
    DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
    Second one is named Eth1-static.
    Contents:
    CONNECTION='ethernet'
    DESCRIPTION='whatver'
    INTERFACE='eth1'
    HOSTNAME='hname'
    IP='static'
    ADDR='192.168.0.10'
    GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
    DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
    The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
    Hope it helps.
    mektub
    PS: netcfg must be installed.

  • Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC,, Don't have older version serial numbers,  threw programs away,  only have Adobe Acrobat X Standard,  need a code to unlock program?

    Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC, Don't have older Version of Adobe Acrobat 9, 8 or 7. 

    You don't need to install the older version, you only need the serial number from your original purchase. If you don't have them to hand, did you register? If so, they should be in your Adobe account. If not you really need to contact Adobe, though it isn't clear they will be able to do anything without some proof of purchase etc.

    Yes. You can.
    I've learned something. New. This must be recently changed. That last time I clicked on a Link I though was a dmg file and turned out it was and exe file my Macs wouldn't allow me to do so. But haven't tried recently everytime and exe file comes up I cancel. I gues I am used to the time everytime a Virus or some other nasty was downloaded it was packaged in and exe file and Macs owuldn't allow it. I suppose with the INtel guts now they can no longer refuse to download.

    Actually, you can and have downloaded from there, because that message only happens when the download is finished.
    The message is entirely normal, and is Apple's way of encouraging the world to use the Mac App Store. That doesn't help you because Acrobat isn't in the Mac App Store - it isn't allowed there.
    So, what to do? Change your system settings

  • Need help on folders in thumbdrive, external harddisk become shortcut and original folder become hidden

    hi
    I would like to ask whether does Microsoft have a solution on this issue 
     need help on folders in thumbdrive, external harddisk become shortcut and original folder become hidden. and there will be a Recycler hidden folder, inside is a randomName.exe file(with a lady image as the program icon). Once the user click on the
    shortcut of the folders, it will activate the .exe file and install onto Windows and with any pendrive, external harddisk plug to the infected machine all will be affected when plug to a clean machine and the cycle repeat itself.. by infect other
    clean machine.
    Please help as this is affecting my company of 400+ users! on window 7 pro x86 and x64
    the problem is that we have a lot of pen drive, portable external harddisk using in the office..
    thus is there 1 Microsoft patch to solve this issue once and for all... to prevent the autorun to activate?

    the problem is that we have a lot of pen drive, portable external harddisk using in the office..
    is there 1 Microsoft patch to solve this issue once and for all... to prevent the autorun to activate?
    This is just because of infection is propagated.. As a result files are hidden..  attrib is great as it is suggested by S Guna . May be you can make a batch file or something like that? But there is a chance of reinfection if you don't clean your infected
    systems as well as your pendrives..
    Plug your infected flash drive and 
    Use one scanner at a time
    Download hitman pro 3.7 (shareware and can be activated for 30 days free)and have a full system scan including your pendrive.. http://www.surfright.nl/en 
    And/or
    use malwarebyte have a full system including your pendrivescan http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/
    And/or
    Use Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool  downloaded from uninfected pc and transfer to you pc and install and have a full system scan
    http://www.kaspersky.com/antivirus-removal-tool?form=1
    If everything fails, you can use offline bootable resccue cd and do a full system scan... 
    https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/rescuedisk
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-defender-offline-faq
    or hitman kickstart bootable pendrive
     http://www.surfright.nl/en/kickstart
    Then 
    (1)Check whether your files are hidden.. Most of the time files and folders are hidden as a result of pen drive malware infection..
    It will change the attributes of the files/folders.
    In that case u can use attrib command and
    attrib -s -h -a -r
    This is how it is used.. attrib method is common for windows

  • I need help, I sent a job to my eprint address and it did not print

    I need help, I send two jobs to my eprint address and it didn't print, nor does not even show that it even got the job. I sent it from both of the e-mails that I have set up for it to except. Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong. By the way my printer is a HP photosmart premium fax series C410A AIO. Thanks for your help in helping me resolve this matter, Mitzi,{Personal Information Removed}

    Hey mitzidg!
    Has ePrint been working for you in the past? If so, try power cycling your printer (unplugging it for about 30 seconds and then plugging it back in.) If you are still having a problem, try waiting a few hours and then trying again. Occasionally we are doing updates on the ePrint servers that can cause delays.
    Hope this helps!
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
