Panasonic HVX-200 in 720p 24N mode

I'm about to edit a project shot on a Panasonic HVX-200 in 720p 24N mode (native 24 fps). The end product is for broadcast television, should I change the quicktime video settings (Compressor) to HDV 720p24? Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can offer. VEC.

HDV? LORD NO! You shot DVCPRO HD...don't muck it up by making an HDV sequence.
Choose the DVCPRO HD 720p24 Easy Setup and you'll be good to go.

Panasonic HVX 200, P2 PAL 720P/25P/PN editing

Hi, does anyone know is there coming and when if it, PAL 720P/25P/PN edit to FCP. Is there any other program where you can edit 720P/25PN files on mac? If not, what program for PC is best for that? I bought Panasonic HVX 200 video camera (also, bought new Quad-Mac and 30" studio display) and realized that I can't edit 720P/25PN files on my mac. EVEN THEY says on Apple's page that "View and browse P2 devices, then transfer the files you need directly into the Final Cut Pro 5 Browser....." but did not found that FCP is not supporting PAL ! I put 15 000 dollars on P2 editing system, not to able edit what I want...

720p25 is no officially supported format in general.
Only 720p50 is a real standard. However there is a
so called 2:2 pulldown where you double the frames,
also called 25p over 50p. This only concerns a
transparent video signal via HD-SDI. Speaking about
the Panasonic HVX200 is another story as this is a
file based workflow.
Here you can find an article how to capture, edit and
monitor 720p50 in FCP 5.1:
http://www.aulich-adamski.de/en/perm/720p50-capturing-editing-in-final-cut-pro
This is also helpful for JVC GY-HD users that could use
an HDV to HD-SDI converter.
An second article describes the Panasonic P2 workflow
with 720p25 and 72p50 but it's currently only in german:

Output to P2 cards on Panasonic HVX 200

When I print to video using the DVC Pro HD Firewire to a Panasonic HVX 200, the audio goes into mono mode, even though the original file is in stereo. I have a big presentation to more than 400 on Friday. Any thoughts about how to fix this? Here's what I've tried:
1. Went to audio/video settings:av devices. The options button doesn't let me make any changes--and shows eight channels of audio. (When I do print to video and select built in audio, it does play on my computer speakers in stereo.)
2. I've also tried to go into User Preferences:audio outputs. The only thing I could change was the grouping (stereo or dual mono) There was an option fo rchanging the outputs to more than 2, but I don't believe that would work.
If I can't I'll probably need to show it as a DVD instead of in high def., which would be very disappointing.

720 pN24 records 24 frames/sec not 29.97 with pull down added. This means there is a longer time between each progressive frame than people who are used to viewing standard video can get a grip on. It can look "stuttery".
Camera movement while recording at cinematic rates requires very smooth, very deliberate moves as well as attention to the shutter settings.
There is a formula (someplace) that relates camera panning movement to field of view to frames per sec to shutter.

Imorting from the Panasonic HVX-200

I have just purchased a Panasonic HVX 200 camera. I am having trouble importing footage shot in high def at 720p at 24fps.
Does anyone out there have the same camera and is using i-movie or Final Cut Pro 5?
I need all the help I can get.

Thanks for your help. What's an F.C.P. 5.0.4?
And where is the access to find the command to unwrap to find the meta data?
Many Thanks, Bill

Importing Panasonic HVX-200 files into FCP

I just bought a Panasonic HVX-200 camera and am having problems importing my footage. The P2 card is mounted on my desktop (it is attached via firewire to a external hard drive) and I see all the media files (audio/clip/proxy/icon/ video/voice). According to the manuel I launch FCP and within the File/Import menu I should see "Panasonic P2". This is not there. I am unsure how to proceed.
Thanks!

Panasonic HVX-200 and FCPX import issue

I'm using a Panasonic HVX-200 and having trouble importing the data from the P2 cards into FCPX. I get this error message: The following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera: The files play as long as the camera is connected, which is useless in the long run.

I was on the phone today with several terrific Apple techs for about five hours and we may have gotten to the bottom of this.
FCPX works well with many different recording formats of the HVX 200 and the p2 cards. But I have had issues with importing 720/30PN footage. It just would not work.
After many hours of trouble shooting with me on the phone, the Apple tech was able to replicate the problem on an HVX 200 at their office.
Apparently FCPX works with HVX 200 1080i, 480i, just about any footage except the 720 set.
He opened an inquiry with the FCPX engineering department and they are looking into it.

Panasonic HVX-200 support

Does anyone know if FCP Express HD supports the new Panasonic hvx-200?
Kevin

No. FCE3 only works with DV or HDV material. The HVX-200 shoots Pansonic's own proprietary format of HD.

Panasonic HVX 200

Hello out there.
Does anyone ust the Panasonic HVX 2000 and I-Movie 6.0.2?
And if you are using an HVX 200 have you also married it with the Firestore-FS-100?
If so can you help me import DVD-Pro 50 and or dvc-pro HD,
Presently, I am not having much luck.
I am on a IMAC G5 1.5 gigs of ram and am running OS X 10.4.6
thanks in advance for your help.

This might shed some light for you:

Best Practices for using FCP and Panasonic HVX 200

Just looking for some suggestions on the easiest settings for using the HVX with FCP. I am not planning to shoot @ 1080 all the time and was just wondering what are best practices as it relates to work flow, stable capture settings for importing and any short cuts to save some time etc....
Thanks !

Thanks for waking me up

Strobing effect with 720 24PN setting on Panasonic HVX 200

testing new Panasonic camera..when doing moving shots, no steady cam, see strobing effect, would have to move camera very slowly in order to get a good shot. Have image stabilizer on. Is this something to do with the 24PN as opposed to 24P setting?

P2 card data from panasonic HVX 200

I have P2 card data [partitions] on an external HDD, formatted specifically to receive data from the Panasonic. I need to move/copy that data on to my internal HDD Mac Pro.
When transferring this kind of P2 data to a drive it will wipe out any previous data on the drive...this is when one runs a 1934 cable direct from camera to external HDD.
Now that the files are in the ext drive, I just don't know if they will corrupt any other HDD I copy them to.
Panasonic are unavailable by phone and I have read all the manuals!!!!!
Please can anyone give some input.
Thanks
catherine

Sounds like you either have a P2 Store, or you are using a P2 Gear with external drive attached where it paritions as it goes along. So that initial behaviour is normal. BUT...how moving those corrupts OTHER drives...makes no sense. Just copy them off into individual folders (All named different, like date and card, 092509_01, _02, _03...

Panasonic HVX 200 and Importing

I have recently baught a new Imac 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 GB ram. When i try to import P2 cards using my camera into the computer the P2 wont display on the desktop. I also have an older version laptop thats running the new FCP 6.0.2. When using that computer it works fine. After i connect my camera and press the button on the camera the p2 cards display on the desktop and i have no problem importing. On the new Mac it wont even show on the desktop, or when i go to FCP 6.0.2 it wont show there either. On the camera it says disconnect instead of connect, this is when iam connected to the new imac. On the old apple laptop it says connect as the status when i am connected, which is what it should say.
I know its weird, buh im having a hard time understanding whats the problem. I have installed all updates from apple and still no go. please help. thank you

I have used panny's P2CMS and love it. I use it all the time to check clips and files after I copy them over to external drives to verify that my files are good before I wipe the cards. Here is a link with all the panny downloads.

Capturing directly from Panasonic HVX 200

I am trying to record directly into final cut from my Panasonic HVX200 without using the P2 cards or external device. does anyone know if and how this is possible?

All you need to do is connect the camera to the computer via firewire, launch FCP, choose the Easy Setup DVCPRO HD 720p60 or whatever matches your camera settings (you cannot record 24PN to anything but the P2 card). Then open the Capture Tool, set your scratch disk and hit CAPTURE NOW.
But this isn't the best way to do this. P2 cards are much better. You'd better familiarize yourself with the proper workflow for this camera:

HVX-200 import blurry (double-images) into CS4?!

I am using Premiere CS4 and I imported footage from Panasonic HVX-200 shot at 720PN 24p format.
I am importing using the 720P 24P DVCPROHD preset.
For some reason all my footage comes out blurry (I see double images when a subject moves, as if I have frames blending together)
Can someone tell me what may be causing this?
Thanks,
Aza

Panasonic HXV 200 vs. Sony PMW EX 1

Hello, I am ready to upgrade cameras from my current Sony HVR-Z1U to a camera to records HD, not HDV, like the Panasonic HVX 200 or the Sony PMW EX1. Both cameras intrigue me with the ablity to record true HD and the ablity to under and over crank.
I have always used Sony camera's and have always been impressed with them which is why the PMW EX1 has caught my eye. I have talked with a friend who has shot with the camera and he says the footage the camera can yeild is incredible and says that it is a better image than the HVX 200. That's impressive as all HVX footage I have seen has been amazing. There is no doubt that both camera's are amazing but the thing I am most concerned about is post production workflow with the P2 format vs. the XD Cam format.
I basically need to be able to work and edit on the road on my MacBook Pro. I understand that I will need to update to the latest version of FCP if I am using the XD Cam format, which isn't a problem as I need to do that anyway. Does anybody have any experience cutting EX1 footage on a MacBook Pro? If so, how was it?
My MacBook Pro is a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 2 GB of memory.
I also wasn't impressed with the Auto Focus on the HVX the one time I used it. I shoot alot of action sports and documentary type footage where a solid auto focus is key. I have been impressed with the auto focus on my previous Sony cameras and was wondering if the EX 1 continued in that tradition.
Any imput or advice would be appreciated as I don't want to make the wrong decision as to which camera to buy.
Thanks,
Clay

Before you jump into the tapeless recording world you need to ask yourself how are you going to store this media. Many will argue that true HD is 1920x1080 and you can only do this with the EX1. I'm not sure of your delivery needs but I also have come up using the Sony HDV cameras and find them very useful working along side of my EX1. I believe your friend has found what some here at this forum don't want the hear and the truth is that this EX1 has better image quality. Yes it has a rolling shutter and could be an issue for those working around flash cameras at a wedding, but for me this is a small trade off for a low light camera. I have experience working with my MBP, FCS2 and the EX1 and it works really good. One thing to keep in mind for working on the road is that the files from the HQ or SP record modes are much smaller that the DVC Pro HD file. I'm sure someone here will get into the Mbps specs and try to say how much better one is over the other but that is like comparing a 2 stroke engine to a 4 stroker, the technology has gone into the 4 stroke and competes evenly. Like any camera purchase you must know the limitations of your equipment and make the most of it. The AUTO FOCUS on the EX1 ***** TOO. I am a Sony user and don't think you would go wrong with the EX1. I will say that the P2 system is also great, but if it were me I'd wait until after NAB to see if Panasonic is going to have a HVX-201.
One last benefit on the EX1 is the HD-SDI out, Convergent Design is coming out at NAB with an HD-SDI system that can record at higher bit rates to very inexpensive compact flash cards. To start they will allow all the way up to 160 Mbps 4:2:2 all I-frame and soon completely uncompressed. It can also be used for encoding HDV in real time from your Kona Card back to an HDV deck for very inexpensive archives.
