No video on capture via panasonic deck

Hi all
Does anyone know if a Panasonic AJ-hd 1400E deck is compatible with final cut pro 5.14. I've just hired a deck but can't get it to playback video. It is allowing me to control it via log and capture, and see timecode, but on capture now, comes back at me with "the operation could not be completed as there is no video".
Have checked the easy set up (actually I've tried them all!) and cables, and firewire ports etc, and have now been here for 5 hours!
Thanks
Pete

YOU need to make sure that you are using the proper EASY SETUP...this will ensure that FCP is set up properly to recognize the deck. DVCPRO HD 720p...then whatever frame rate you shot. 720p24, 720p30, 720p60.
And make DARN sure that you turn on the deck AFTER you connect the firewire to it. Connecting firewire after you power up might blow out the firewire port, as firewire carries power from the computer.

No video on capture via panasonic deck - NEW

Hi. I rented a panasonic deck HD1400 to get tapes captured in Final Cut Pro 5.04. When trying to capture I get no video on the Mac Book Pro. I use Easy Set-up DVC-PRO HD1080i50 which correspond to tapes. Also the deck is set to HD1080i. I can control the deck from the mac book pro and see a timeline when playing tapes, but no video and thus I cannot capture.
Help is urgently needed as the deck is rented. Any suggestions?

OK. I found the manual for the panasonic HD1400 deck via Google and reset it to default fabric settings. After that I ran a simple Easy Set-up in Final Cut Pro. Problem solved. Fantastic.

Trouble capturing video from VHS via Analogue to DV converter

I use Final Cut Express 1.0.1 and I've always been able to capture video from VHS via a Director's Cut analogue to DV converter box. Today it keeps freezing on me. I've tried force quit, logged off and back on again and even re-started the computer. I've got plenty of space on my two hard drives (125GB free on main drive and 85.42GB on my scratch disk).
I'm sure I've set the rest up correctly (composite cable from VHS to DV convertor box set to output and connected to input slots on box, and DV box set to capture). The box is correctly connected to the Mac.
I've also logged on using another user's account to see if the same problem occurs, and it does. I believe this means that dumping the my preference file won't help, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Any ideas how to stop this freezing on me would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Karen

Last bit of help from Martin may have some mileage in it as far as excluding hidden problems with the drive you are capturing too.
Have been reading into the requirements for the hard disc and it does make it clear having a separate one like you have is almost a requirement because of the work it does. Would it be worth trying a small capture to your system disc. If it helps that is how I am working at the moment so it doesn't appear to be instant fireworks if you do use this one but give it some thought first...
On the firewire port side of things I have seen some unexplained connection issues on this front which were cured by shutting things down, unplugging and then beginning again. Take it System Profile didn't yield anything?
Now I got back in front of my Mac it appears Quicktime Pro will allow capture from an attached device but appreciate you may not have the Pro bit, iMovie should be as good a test.

I used to export cut clips to tape (version 9.0) but recently I bought the 13.0 version of PREMIERE and after cutting (etc) - to keep having the exàct same video-quality as what I IMPORTED/CAPTURED via an (analog) source - I export cut material simply to external HDs (so, actually to the computer)... but whatever I am trying I notice that when I check the export-material with the original clip the first is NOT ONLY SMALLER but ALSO DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME RESOLUTION, DETAILNESS, SHARPNESS (or whatever you may call it) as what I origanally captured !! ... What am I doing wrong? WHICH SETTINGS DO I HAVE TO MAKE - at least- IN ORDER TO KEEP THE SAME IMAGE-QUALITY (or even to enhance it) IN STORING ON THE COMPUTER ?! Thanks, RVH

Don't triple post, and especially not in the wrong form.

Problem with previewing video when capturing

I recently had to reinstall FCP onto my Powerbook and since doing this the following problem has occured:
When I open the log and capture window the program recognises my DV deck and plays the footage fine. However, when I start to capture the footage, the video preview is disabled - it freezes on the 1st frame. The video is capturing fine and when I check the audio preview box I am able to listen to the audio whilst capturing, but I can usually preview the video as well.
In the audio / video settings the 'capture card supports simultaneous play through and capture' boxis checked - and as I say, this was fine before re-installing.
Presumably this is as simple as a preference that has not been altered since I re-installed the program?
If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

It is highy likely that quicktime is wacky after the FCP reinstall.
go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say quicktime followed by a number (eg Quicktime652.pkg)
Go to the Quicktime download web site and download the correct version for your OS and FCP version.
Reinstall.
Reboot.
Repair permissions.
Good luck.

Monitoring audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP studio

Is there a way I can monitor audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP Studio? I know you can plug headphones into your tape deck but that sound is not in sync with the video in the capture window due to time delay. I tried plugging the headphones into my Powerbook but could not get any audio coming through these, nor audio through the Mac's inbuilt speakers.

The preview checkbox is ticked and the audio monitor indicates that sound is being picked up (the levels rise and fall) but I still can't hear anything! The audio/video sync on the external monitor is ok, but because there is a time delay between that and the video capture window, I can't use that as a reliable monitor for sound sync. If I could resolve the video sync problem there, then I could monitor the sound through the external monitor.

Capturing via component input: a question

Stupid question of the week: if I capture HDV footage via component input, will it take up more disk space than capturing via firewire? The reason I ask is because component is technically "uncompressed"... if it's HDV footage, wouldn't that suddenly take up more hard drive space?
The reason I ask: I'm getting the JVC HDV deck and it can only play back 1080i through component output. Therefore I need to know the best way to handle 1080i when I use it (my main camera shoots 720p).
Can anyone recommend an affordable, quality component input solution?

Why don't you capture the 720p HDV from the JVC deck ?
If its 720p60, it will convert onto a 1080i60 timeline reasonably well, although you will need to render it - it won't be realtime.
I think 1080i60 and 720p60 will mix quite nicely on a 1080i60 timeline.
You cannot capture the 1080i60 component to HDV 1080i60 - no deck will do an 'analogue in' for you, and to be honest there would be generation and quality issues in doing so.
The other suggestion made in this thread, about going to DVC Pro HD is also one worth investigating, but you already have everything you need to capture and create what you want (if I've understood your post correctly)

Does FCP 7 support capture via thunderbolt?

I am looking for a multi format converter, and wondering if FCP 7 supports capture via Thunderbolt? and if not can I get around it with a Thunderbolt to FW 800 cable?

the real issue is getting it there faster
you cant capture faster than real time with live video!

I have been trying to import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. Did not have trouble until I upgraded to mavericks. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, iMovie 10.0.2. Says it is recording, but when I go to check, it says the file is empty.

I have been trying import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. I have been successful doing this in the past, but now it is not working. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, (mavericks), iMovie 10.0.2. Everything in iMovie looks like it is working. It reads "recording" in the upper left hand corner of the pane while the video is playing. When I stop the process to check on my clip it says that the file is empty. The only thing that has changed since I did it successfully is that I upgraded to mavericks from whatever I had previously. My system is about one year old. Any suggestions?

Hey, Clinton,
     Thanks for your help! I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video. I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support. They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded. That didn't change anything. In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge. But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2.
     1. Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
     2. Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
     3. Close iMovie 9
     4. Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
     5. File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events. Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.)
     6. Select the clips and import. Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
You may get a message that some files cannot be imported. Click continue import. It's a little glitchy. It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too. On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy. In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
Hope this additional information helps somebody else. Thanks again, Clinton for helping me!

Premiere Pro will not import a video I captured in Premiere.

I am working with Premiere Pro Cs6, on an HP laptop, with Windows 8. This is the first time I was capturing video from a Canon XL H1. When I finished capturing, Premiere did not give me any further prompts, and when I preceded to try to import the video I captured, it is telling me that "there was an error decompressing audio or video." I need to finish this job by the end of the week, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

LR 5.5 - Cannot export/publish to HDD or Flickr from video frame capture - "An internal error has occurred: assertion failed"

Basically as the title states, I cannot publish a set of photos that originated as video frame captures, whether to my hard drive or using a service plugin for Flickr. I have tried multiple publish service plugins for Flickr and everything fails precisely the same way. This only happens when I add photos to the collection that are JPG's derived from video, and it only started doing this recently. I have other frame captures that I uploaded just fine, but it appears that nothing from the set I worked on the other day wants to upload. Other NEF-derived photos from the same set work just fine.
All I get is a Warning dialog stating that an error has occurred while the main dialog stops on "Preparing to export...", then it kicks me back with no action taken when I click OK. The status in the upper left says "Updating Published Collections". If I remove the new frame capture photo, it works fine, but as soon as I add one to the collection, it fails to publish.
I updated from 5.4 to 5.5, tried new publish plugins, completely removed and recreated my local profile, reimported my catalog, all to no avail. Everything worked fine two days ago, then when I went to upload my latest edits yesterday, I started receiving the error and have had no luck fixing it.
I used debugView to capture a log as the error occurred, so I can provide that for a developer or support contact if required.
EDIT: I just tried choosing some different photos in the set, and most appear to work, so it is just some particular images that it does not like. I will try to narrow it down.

I narrowed it down to one photo in particular that it does not like. It's not a deal-breaker, but I am still curious what is going on that is causing that one photo being in a set to break the publish process

Video screen capture capability for ios5??

Question 1 is: where is it?
Question 2: is it available for the iphone 4 with ios5?

Did you figure out how to capture video yet?

Video Batch Capture

During the 1990s I edited my DV firewired footage on Canopus Storm editing which, from the start, had a very simple but marvelous Batch Capture facility enabling frame accurate clips to be captured to the timeline. Could anyone tell me which of the Premiere Elements software packages has this Batch Capture function. Thanks Mike

mikehaywood
I do not know of any. And the DV and HDV data capture firewire has been removed from the latest version Premiere Elements 13/13.1. The last version to have this feature is 12/12.1.
I see details for Video Batch Capture for Premiere Pro but not Premiere Elements.

Confused! Video I captured rendered blurry. Titles & "outside" video rendered clear

Here is a link to the video that may make this more clear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmz7-cLqblQ
I am very very very new to all this, so please be patient.
I captured video using a DSLR - Canon T1i - which shoots in HD. I imported it to Adobe Premiere CS3 as an .avi. I created some titles in Premiere and also imported some video I received from an outside source.
The video I captured was dark, so I used the enhancement features in premiere (brightness/contrast, color levels, etc.) to lighten it up. I checked "preserve luminosity".
When I put all these things together in Premiere, it was completely clear in my preview screen. When I rendered and then played back it back on my computer, the video I captured on my T1i was completely blurry. Everything else was crystal clear. I checked on google and many people were saying this happens a lot when watching it from your own computer (?) but to upload it to youtube or vimeo and it should be fine. I did that (took hours!) only to find the same thing is happening there.
I want to tell you what settings I had the video project started in, but I am not sure how to go back and find that out. I know I tried to do the HD settings. If you could tell me how to do that, I am perfectly happy to go back and check the settings for the video or whatever else you need to know.
Thank you very much for your help!

I just experienced the same thing today. I bought a new White MacBook this weekend (I installed all the latest software updates). I published an imovie project to iTunes using the medium setting (Share->iTunes->MEDIUM). I saw the same artifacts that you are seeing. I republished the movie using the LARGE setting and the artifacts were gone. This is my workaround for now.
