Playback of 720 24pn footage

I have a project that was shot on the Panasonic P2 camera, I have the footage in my timeline and it plays at 100% but the actual speed seems to be less than 50%. I'm not sure why. Compressor seems to be correct and the files are straight from the P2 card. also it seems to be a bit stuttery how can I smooth that out. I'm using FCP7.
Thanks
Mark

That may be as I did not change the settings on the camera when I rented it. I saw that it was 720 24pn and expected that would be ok. Guess I'll have to manually speed the footage up. It's a good thing I didn't need the audio.
Thanks

  • HVX200 - 720/24pN - Raid or Drive

    OK, so I have searched and read a lot of enourmously helpful info on shooting 24pN and editing it in FCP. So I have one final question.
    Can I edit DVOPRO HD 720/24pN footage on a 17"MBP with FCP5.1.1 and 2 gigs RAM with a G-DRIVE (not G-RAID)? I have 2 250 gig G-DRIVEs that we have because we need to travel with them and they take up less space and weigh less than G_RAIDs. Will they be fast enough on FW00?
    Thanks

    DVCPRO HD at 24PN will be fine on firewire 400 drives.

  • Settings for a 720/24pn downconvert to SD 29.97?

    I have a 720/24pn sequence in FCP. I want to output it to a miniDV tape. I know that I can drop the sequence into a DV sequence in FCP, but won't it look better if I use Compressor to do the downconvert? Intstead of having FCP add the pulldown on the fly as I output?
    In Compressor, I use the "DV NTSC" preset, but while that converts it to DV and 29.97, it doesn't add letterboxing. What setting do I change to use letterboxing? Padding? Dimensions? Something simpler?
    Thanks for your help,

    Actually, the only way you can add pulldown - at least the standard 2:3:2:3 pulldown that most folks desire - within the confines of Final Cut Studio is via FireWire output. If you dropped your 24pN footage into a 29.97 timeline, you'd get what some folks generously call 2:2:2:4 pulldown. To be more honest, FCP simply doubles every 4th frame as the 5th frame. Most (battle-hardened) post professionals consider that nasty.
    The benefit of using Compressor to do the downconvert - maintaining 23.98 fps, of course - is to use Frame Controls (you'd need to manually trigger them On) to produce a better quality DV file than what FCP would give you.
    In terms of getting letterboxed output from Compressor, if you've got Compressor 3.0.1 or later, there is a preset under the *Pad to:* drop-down for +16:9 (1.77:1)+ that should fill-in the padding numbers for top and bottom (this is all in the Geometry pane of the Inspector). Otherwise, if you can output an anamorphic DV file and have FCP letterbox it for you, (once you drop it into a standard 4:3 DV timeline).

  • 960x720 video from shooting 720 24pn? shouldn't it be 1280x720?

    I'm confused, i use to shoot footage on an HVX in 720 24pn, and when i'd edit it and export it in final cut it was always 1280x720.
    now all of a sudden, all my footage is coming into final cut as 960x720. what's the deal?
    I'm shooting onto P2 chips and using the 'log and transfer' feature in final cut.
    is 720 footage suppose to be in 1280x720 or 960x720?

    The 960x720 is part of a compression scheme. If you were to output a self-contained QuickTime movie of a 960x720 clip, it should come out as 1280x720.

  • What is the best way to work with AVCHD 720 24p footage in FCE4.1?

    Hi I have a Panasonic HMC-150 and I've been shooting 720 24p footage at 21 mbps transfer rate.
    I was wondering what is the best way to work with this material in FCE 4.1? I see that in the easy set up menu they only have the option of 1440X1080i at 50 or 60 fps or 1920X1080i at 50 or 60 fps.
    Also in the rates drop down menu there is only 50 or 29.97.
    So I was wondering which is the best choice for 720 24p footage and will it look alright in any of them? Also is it possible to customize these settings?
    And finally can you work with faster transfer rates (21mbps) in FCE?

    Yikes, this is going to be tricky since FCE does not support native 24p editing.
    The work around for some of us is that AVCHD material that is 24p is often recorded to disc at 60i using telecine, in which case it can be editing at 29.97 frames per second, and then detelecined afterward for final export at 23.98 fps. The problem is that I think your camera actually records real 24p - not 24p packed into 60i. When you import the material from the camera what does QuickTime report the framerate as?

  • 720 24pn to 1080i

    Hi!
    I'm shooting a project with a Panasonic HVX200A and I'd like to shoot 720 24Pn(Native) because of the longer record times. However, my final deliverable is HDCam 1080i. Could I just edit in an Apple Prorez 1080i 60 timeline, or would this "look weird" or be sub-optimal? I guess I could shoot 1080 24, but the short record times would be problematic. The shoot is the day after tomorrow, so any advice would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    With P2, FCP imports what you shoot. If you shoot 24pn, then you are shooting 23.98 native, and FCP will import it as such. The main issue you will face is that that format in a non-drop frame timecode ONLY. It does not drop frame timing. This makes timing the show tricky, but not impossible. If you require commercial breaks to have specific timing, that is another matter.
    You might want to consider shooting 720p24 at 29.97. Same cadence, but drop frame. If you still want to do 24pn, I am available as a workflow consultant.

  • 720 24pn to 1080 24p upconvert,  and DNxHD or QT uncompressed

    I've finished my P2, 720 24pn documentary in Avid and want to deliver a 1080 24p master on hard drive to put to HDCam tape for a Da Vinci color correction.
    I've exported a quicktime reference to After Effects and nested the 720 project in a 1920 x 1080 composition (to include all the 4k photos and titles).
    Is this the best way to upconvert 720 to 1080? It looks great...
    And is using the DNxHD 175 10 bit codec for the quicktime export as good as an uncompressed 10 bit quicktime? The resulting file size on a 100 minute file is 150 GB's vs 1.5 TB's.....
    I have searched and searched the forum, but it's not easy to find the Truth!!

    FYI for anyone wondering in the future, this is what my Da Vinci artist said:
    "At my day job, doing HD spots for Sony Pictures (who are very particular about picture quality), the editors are also using Avid's DNX compression. The settings they are using (at 1080 lines) are: 175X for 23.98 and 220X for 59.94. We've run tons of resolution tests and the clients find this acceptable quality for big media buys (Superbowl, American Idol, etc.)."
    Another said that if my original content was film he would go uncompressed QT, but since it was P2, DNxHD 175 is the way to go.
    And this article (now a year old) evaluated DNxHD vs ProRes422 and Uncompressed.....
    http://www.studiodaily.com/blog/?p=97
    excerpt:
    As a control, I used Apples Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 codec. I rendered the animation to the ProRes 422 (HQ), ProRes 422, Avid DNxHD 175, Avid DNxHD 115, and Avid DNxHD 36 codecs. (Note: The DNxHD flavors are specific to 1080/24p format video. The 30i versions would be DNxHD 220 and 145.)
    After re-importing the results in After Effects, I placed each file in a composition along with the Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 version and used the Difference transfer mode to illustrate where the compressed image varied from the uncompressed. The results were quite surprising.
    The DNxHD 175 files difference from the uncompressed was barely visible to the naked eye, but the ProRes 422 (HQ) codec showed significant differences. In fact, in my test, the DNxHD 115 codec also outperformed the ProRes (HQ).

  • Jumpy/repeated playback on rendered AVCHD footage

    Hi folks!
    I am experiencing multiple jumpy & sometimes repeated frames during playback on rendered AVCHD files on Premiere Pro CS4. It's really hard to catch since it happens on multiple files and the jumpyness can be like a rewind or it skip frames.
    The 5 second file sample below skips a few frames, pay attention to frames 38 to 39(Man does the cross). It skips! Also notice the first few frames of the footage gets jumpy.
    Playback inside Premiere is fine and smooth. The problem only shows on the rendered footage's playback.
    File: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=30XONDN2
    Software: Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1
    Output: H.264 or Quicktime MOV(Animation)
    OS: Mac OS X 10.6.2
    Camera: Panasonic HMC150 (AVCHD)
    Settings: 720/24p
    Any ideas on the solution?
    Thanks!

    ah right, you're on the Mac, I missed that in the first post, sorry.
    try re-installing quicktime by going to the Apple site and downloading it. This page should open up with your detected OS:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    give that a try and see if you get any improvement.

  • Quicktime Playback of Sony F3 Footage

    Hi,
    I'm running Snow Leopard and have .mov MPEG-2 files from a video shoot with a Sony F3. I'm not editing. That will be done in an Avid, but I'd like to view the footage and have my own copy. How do I get Quicktime to recognize these files. I read something about a Quicktime component but don't understand how to get it or what the right approach is. I downloaded MPEG Streamclip, but the footage does not appear.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    FYI, I tried an XDCAM Browser from Sony and that didn't work either.
    I'm currently a Final Cut Express editor so Sony's FCP tool is not for me.
    Calibrated does have a FCExpress tool but I'm going to pass on the $99 and just wait for my Avid editor to do the work. This is not what i wanted to do, not ideal. But I'm stuck.
    It sure is surprising and seems strange that this is so hard.
    Thanks just the same!
    They provide demo versions of their codecs. You could therefore try it for no cost and at least see if it is a possibility for the future.
    See http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QEXEssentialsDownload.asp
    It says it supports the following formats.
    Sony XDCAM EX1 and EX3 MP4 files
    JVCProHD HM 700/HM100 MP4 & MOV files
    XDCAM EX MP4 files exported from FCP using Sony XDCAM Transfer
    XDCAM EX MOV files created with Sony XDCAM Transfer

  • 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?
    catherine

    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.

  • 720/30p footage -- how does iMovie handle progressive scan?

    Does iMovie work well with progressive scan or does it like everything to be 60i? I have a 720/30p or 1080/60i camcorder, a 720p native projector and looking at AppleTV which is 540p @ 30fp. For best quality with iMovie and AppleTV, which is best to shoot at 720/30p or 1080/60i?

    hey there cmd,
    iMovie will handle Hi-def video @ standard frame rates: 1920 x 1080 60i, 1280 x 720 30p in the USA.
    Apple TV supports the following: TV compatibility
    Compatible with enhanced-definition or high-definition widescreen TVs capable of 1080p/1080i 60/50Hz, 720p 60/50Hz, 576p 50Hz (PAL format), or 480p 60Hz.
    some people prefer 720p for sports & 1080i for other type of viewing--movies,TV shows, etc...
    good luck.

  • Error with HVX200 720/24p playback

    I have imported 720 24p clips from a Panasonic HVX200 and while the footage plays normally when in the normal canvas window, when I play the clips at fullscreen(...by activating "all frames"...) the image is stretched out during playback; however when I press stop the image returns to normal. The image only stretches out during full screen playback. Any thoughts? Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the reply! The clips are being viewed on my laptop's built in monitor. It is an old, as in 2002, G4 Powerbook. As far as the sequence settings are concerned I set it up for 720 x 960, which I believe is the proper setting for the 720/24p footage from the camera. I'm thinking that maybe its the settings for my Powerbook's monitor in that they don't match the sequence? Don't know if that makes sense or not? Let's see since the camera and laptop are away on a shoot I am trying to recall from memory the other settings...anything else you need to know? Again, thanks for writing.

  • CS4 vs. Interpret footage (23,976)

    System:
    Windows 7 (64)
    Premiere CS4 (Demo)
    AJA Bord
    Uncompressed AVI (v210) workflow
    I used to work with CS2 and I may upgrade to CS4. In my tests I was not able to use interpret footage propperly.
    No matter what I tried, every source file (24, 25 and even 23,976) can not be interpreted as 23,976.
    Premiere always changes 23,976 to 23,98.
    1. This was working fine in CS2
    2. It seems like this is just a display problem and the files are still treaded correctly.
    Is there anyone who had the same problem?

    It's a display rounding issue, near as I can tell. Do this test:
    Import a clip that is 23.98fps. Take a note of the duration of the clip.
    Select "Interpret Footage" for that clip, and change the frame rate to "23.976".
    When you deselect the frame rate field, it will automatically round to two decimal places, e.g. 23.98. This will also be reflected in the project panel information area.
    Now take a note of the duration of the clip; it will be slightly longer. It IS now being interpreted as 23.976fps, hence the slightly longer duration.
    I found this to be the case with DVCPROHD 720p clips recorded using OnLocation; you can set OnLo to automatically remove the padded frames from a 720p/24p "over 60" stream to create true 24p AVIs. However, there's a bug in the way they're interpreted in Premiere Pro, in that they when they're imported, the pulldown is removed again, resulting in clips with 19.18fps. You can uncheck the "remove 24p pulldown" box in the interpret footage dialog, but they are then intepreted as 23.98fps. When trying to synchronize and multicam edit these files with 720/24pN clips recorded to a P2 card (which are correctly identified in Premiere as 23.976fps), they eventually go out of sync. So, in the interpret footage dialog, after unchecking the pulldown box, I have to manually enter "23.976"--again, it displays as "23.98", but the duration changes and the clips stay in perfect sync throughout the duration of the multicam.
    Hope that helps...

  • A/V settings - missing video playback settings

    I am a new FCP user (5 months) but have not been having too much trouble. I have been on Avid for 5 years plus; Thursday I imported some Avid NTSC 720/480 footage into Final Cut (29.97 fps of course) - which displays successfully. But now I cannot return to the settings I need to edit material in HDV 23.98 fps projects. The video playback settings for HDV 24p 60i are now all missing/deselected. What is more, the program is crashing a lot. No sound, no video playback. Clearly we need to make different projects in different admin users for Avid product - but how do we get our settings back? Help!

    There is no such thing as HDV 24p60i... it's one or the other. In fact, you should be able to import or capture that material, place a clip in any sequence, and FCP will ask you if you'd like to set the sequence's settings to match the clip's properties, and you simply say yes.
    Where are you having the problem? Which camera was used? There is an "easy setup" for HDV cameras, but they are different a bit from camera to camera... Sony is different than Canon for example... might try those too.
    Try trashing your preferences for FCP found in User/library/preferences/fcp user data folder. There are three red and white icon'd files there. Just trash them, and they will rebuild to factory settings when you relaunch FCP.
