PRE 7.0 Capture, Conforming & Editing Questions
I have a new Canon Vixia HFS100 (AVCHD) and have just installed Premiere Elements 7.0. I previously used a Standard Definition mini-tape camcorder and edited the videos with either Windows Movie Maker or Cyberlink Power Director.
Capture Questions: The AVCHD media import option does not require a fire wire / nor does it provide device control. (I LIKE this feature since I purchased a camcorder with flash memory cards so that I could import the media through a card reader instead of having to hook up the camcorder.) I realize now, however that I may also want to import a small segment from a longer scene. Should the AVCHD capture feature have device control? If not, can I also use the HDV camcorder capture function instead? Does this require any adjustments to my project settings?
Conforming Questions: After I import the .mts files, PRE 7.0 automatically goes through a process that says it is 'conforming' the files. What does 'conforming' mean? Does this require any adjustments to my project settings?
Editing Questions: The .mts scenes cannot be played back without SEVERE stutter. Audio is fine, but the scenes video looks like individual stills with 10-15 second delay until the next still picture. Although I plan to upgrade from my 1 GB RAM laptop to a much higher powered laptop within the next month, I am despearate to edit and publish my first set of videos since they are sales videos of horses I am trying to sell. Is there anything I can do to allow me to edit the .mts files with my current 1 GB RAM system? I would be happy to drop to a lower quality video setting just to get this batch of videos edited and produced.
Thanks in advance for your help.
1. Is there anything I can do NOW to get this first set of videos edited / produced on my current laptop? I would be happy to import as lower quality if necessary.
There are several threads on AVCHD conversion. Unfortunately, I do not recall the conversion utilities recommended. Not shooting AVCHD, I have to admit that I am personally clueless to what programs work, and how well. Others can likely help you there.
2. What configuration wish list can you recommend for either a Dell laptop or desktop? I will be editing ~40 horse sale videos per month and posting them to YouTube or producing DVDs to mail to prospective buyers.
I have just the ARTICLE for that "wishlist." Harm Millaard is the "Hardware Guru," on the PrPro forum. He gives a lot of great info. Now, it's pretty much geared for the "ultimate" NLE machine, but he does give the reasons, so one can "tone it down" to suit their budget and their needs.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - if I find the threads on AVCHD conversion, I'll share those.

Need advice ensuring my 25p is captured and edited properly.
Hi all. New to Final Cut and just got a DVX100BEN (PAL) and want to know what I have to setup to capture and edit 25p with Final Cut.
My train of thought here is that I can just use a standard DV PAL setup as the DVX100b stored 25p in a 50i stream. So my questions are:
1) Can I just use standard, interlaced DV PAL for capture?
2) Can I just use standard, interlaced DV PAL for the timeline or do I have to set it up as progressive some how?
3) When rendering, say to DVD can I just render using Compresser to DVD PAL as normal and all is good?
Also, viewer seems to deinterlace it's display so I was wondering if there is a way to get it to just show the rawm image, as it's already progressive from the DVX?
Cheers
Aaron KoolenWell, noone offered me an answer, no matter where I looked, but after some searching I'm pretty certain that you just use the DV PAL template, keep everything interlaced and render out as DV PAL.
I say this because I found a post somewhere by Graeme Natress that pretty much said this.
So, personally, I'm happy with it. Now if you were wanting to render as a true progressive movie then you'd have to do something to tell your renderer to NOT deinterlace the footage. -
Can I upgrade from the standard destiny pre-order to the ghost edition?
Hey is there anyway I can upgrade my regular Destiny pre-order to the Ghost Edition or will I have to canel my previous preorder to buy the Ghost Edition?
Hello Treveyon,
Thanks for pre-ordering Destiny at Best Buy! With the recent announcement of the Ghost and Limited Editions of Destiny, it’s no surprise that you’d be inquiring about switching your pre-order. I’ve only recently started really digging into the details of Destiny and I can already tell that this game will likely live up to the hype, and then some!
Kandlestick makes a few pretty good points. First, you would need to cancel your existing pre-order for the standard edition of Destiny and create a new pre-order for the Ghost Edition. However, as Kandlestick also mentioned, you may want to check the availability of the Ghost edition prior to cancelling your current pre-order. To my knowledge, the Ghost version is likely no longer available due to it being very limited in quantity. Click here to see the different versions and their availability.
If you wish to cancel your current pre-order, the method of doing so is determined by how you originally pre-ordered the game. If you pre-ordered on BestBuy.com, log in to your account and pull up the order. You should be able to cancel the pre-order from within the current order details. If you pre-ordered in-store, simply return to the store with your receipt and visit the Customer Service desk.
Please let us know if you have any further questions!

Problem in capturing the edited data while the table is sorted
hi,
i am using the TableSorter class provided by the sun tutorials to add sorting capability for my JTable. i need to print on the screen, the value of the cell whenever it is updated. so i am using TableModelListener and its tableChanged() method for this purpose. if i edit the data without applying the sorting then its printing fine. But if i edit the data with table sorted in a particular order by clicking on the table header then the tableChanged method is not being called. So some problem lies in the table sorter which is preventing the call to the tableChanged method whenver table it is sorted. Below is my implementation of JTable.
TableSorter sorter = new TableSorter(new MyTableModel());
final JTable table = new JTable(sorter);
table.getModel().addTableModelListener(new
TableModelListener()
public void tableChanged(TableModelEvent e)
int row = e.getFirstRow();
int column = e.getColumn();
System.out.println("Row: "+row+" Coloumn: "+column);
);Hope u understood the problem. plzz help
thanxhi camickr,
However the row number displayed is always the row of
the TableModel before the data has been sorted. this is the feature i am trying for and couldnt achieve it. i do want to print the row of tablemodel before data is sorted but i am getting 0 and -1 as row and column numbers.
I never saw -1 as a column number.
if you have never seen -1 as column number then just compile and run the code given below. I just added a table model listener to the table model to capture data editing. So if u edit any cell without applying sorting then its row and column number is printed properly but if u sort a particlar column and with sorting on if u edit any cell you will get row No. as 0 and column No. as -1. try running below code and please let me know where the problem exists or post your code which worked without any of the above problems.
I believe the code was updated in Feb of this year,
so make sure you have the most recent version.yes i have the latest version of tablesorter.
below is my source code for table sorting just compile and run it

I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X
I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X
My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine. The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart. I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky. I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe. My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.

Mega simple video capture and edit program. Cross platform.
Looking for a mega simple video capture and edit program. Am overseeing a bunch of small groups where we want each person in the group's story told. Some groups will have Macs, some PCs, some iPads, iphones, etc. So needs to be cross platform.
Really, the simpler, the better. Like targeting 5 year oldsIs there any software anyone recommends - Sorenson?

Dvx100 24pa captured and edited at 29.97
Hi there,
I'm trying to rework an old project where i mistakenly captured and edited 24pa footage from a dvx100b at 29.97.
is it possible to perform a reverse telecine with cinema tools to remove the pulldown from a finished edit on a 29.97 timeline? if so, what settings should i use?
i normally remove pulldown on capture with 24pa footage, and edit in a 23.98 timeline, but this project is from before i knew better, and mistakenly worked in 29.97, and am now suffering from interlacing problems/duplicate frames.
any advice would be appreciated. i am trying to avoid recapturing and re-editing.
thanks for your help in advancethanks guys...
these are both possible solutions that i didn't think of.
the situation with this piece is it is one long source clip, chopped down into 100+ short clips, with a lot of precise cuts, but unfortunately no respect for pulldown cadence.
using cinema tools, i have performed reverse telecine which seems to remove the pulldown for clips that have the right timing, and unfortunately, not for those that are off.
i should probally just re-edit, but this is the sort of project you really only want to do once.
i guess i'm hoping for an easy fix, and that probally doesn't exist.
i still have the digitized footage and the sequence (29.97). is it possible to somehow remove the pulldown of the source footage, and rework the timeline accordingly?
thanks again. -
Why don't iMovie support native HDV capture and editing?
i would like to see iMovie HD 6 to support native HDV capture and edit. is it possible?
no, FCE-HD (what an abreviation!) uses the same trick as iM-HD, converting HiDef into AIC....
native HD is really more for the pros... yet! I think, the basic problem to be solved first is -r media, meaning, any HD/blue-ray-DVD-r disks, which make it possible for the average user to store his/her products.... but as far as I follow the discussion, right now the industry is caring more for commercial disks, and that HDMI "problem" (broadcasting can include a copyprotection, so no use of any HD/DVD HiDef recorders...!)... finally, we can record only our selfmade movies... maybe that's a little less joy...
actually, converting finished HDmovies into h264 with a high bitrate and storing that onto hd is the only realistic option........ -
Capturing and editing on my primary drive?
I have two-500GB drives in my new Macpro, and I do not see how I could ever fill up the drive with the OS and applications installed (seems kind of a waste). I have read that it is not recommended to capture and edit video on the drive that contains the os and applications, and it should be done on a secondary drive.
1. What specifically is the problem with capturing and editing video on the primary drive?
2. Will partitioning the drive with the OS and applications installed, and capturing to the separate partition make a difference?
Thank you.1. OSX creates a great deal of disk activity. Not only is the disk trying to feed the OS and the application commands, it also hosts the System Cache where RAM overflow goes to live until needed.
Adding the demands of REAL TIME media spooling (read/write) to this really busy disk can overwhelm it - leading to dropped frames etc.
2. Partitioning does not solve it. It is still one physical disk and subject to all the same demands as spelled out in #1 above. Partitioning may make some sense in organizing material but it will do nothing for system performance. Indeed, there is some evidence it will reduce realtime performance.
If you need more drive space, for fastest performance, get a PCI based esata card and add a series of external sata devices. FW800 drives will work quite well as well - especially for DV, HDV and uncompressed SD.
good luck.

Hi there,
I need an updated, quick and precise answers for these Single Edition questions...!
(1) For what I got until now Single Edition do not allow clients to publish a store like a bookstall of magazines. Is that right?
(2) That said, every app built and sent to App Store is "unique" and has no physical connection with other apps built and sent later. Right?
(3) Even though having Creative Cloud and being able to publish unlimited Folios... There is no way we can do a bookstall??
(4) Even using Html5 resources?
Thankyou all...1) Correct
2) Correct
3) Correct
4) Correct
A bookstall / kiosk / multi-issue-app is only available for Adobe DPS Pro.
Check out: http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-publishing-suite-pro/faq.html
How does Single Edition compare to Professional and Enterprise Editions?
Professional Edition is an off-the-shelf solution designed for customers who publish frequently updated content multiple times a year and require the ability to sell single issues or content subscriptions (as supported by individual marketplaces) through app stores including the Apple App store, Amazon Kindle Fire Newsstand, and Android Marketplace.
Enterprise Edition is a custom tailored solution that meets the individual needs of professional magazine and newspaper publishers, large corporations, membership organizations and advertising holding companies. Enterprise Edition is fully extensible and can be integrated with back-end editorial workflow solutions such as K4 and WoodWing, print fulfillment services, and dynamic rich media ad platforms.
Unlike Enterprise and Professional Edition customers, Single Edition customers do NOT have access or the ability to:
Create multi-.folio applications
Update content embedded in an application once it is published
Sell through multiple market places (Apple App store is only supported at this time)
Access foundational analytics powered by SiteCatalyst
Extend and integrate with other back end services/platforms -
What for a live event capture and edition ?
Hi there,
What software is best for a live event capture and edition ? (for an instant public feedback) a one with the ability to be controlled by a 2-octave midi keyboard.
Can FCP do that ? even partly ?
The idea is to be able to do the same then tv shows (live cuts and effect layers)
thanks,
IonelFCP is a professional non-linear editing application ... not a live event playback device.
If you need a very fast turnaround editing facility you can look at FCP coupled with something like Picture Ready from Gallery, you can download a demo to test
if you're looking at doing a 2 camera live cut/switch then you can consider a dual decklink I/O solution and On-Air 2.0 -
After spending 10+ hours of trying to figure out why my first two quiz slides did work, and my next eight didn't, I found the answer as an offhand, btw, comment. The expected action was On failure, Jump to Slide x, which would jump back to the beginning of that content "section." (Quiz slides (two per section) are interspersed with sections of content slides). I finally ran across the advice to "save yourself time" by using F9 to see Advanced Interactions (which is, what, a dialog? a view?). Turns out this was not just a time-saver but the ONLY way (that I've found yet) to see and fix my problem. In Advanced Interactions, I could immediately see that the first two slides were set as I thought, (Jump to Slide upon failure), but the rest were set to Continue upon failure. This, EVEN THOUGH on every question slide, in Edit view/mode on the Edit Question > Options tab, it was set for Jump to Slide upon failure. Why did it appear that way in Edit Question > Options, but not in Advanced Interactions? I set them all correctly in the Advanced Interactions and now the jumping is working correctly (Now I have problems with questions not being reset, but I think I have seen the answers for that in my 10+ hours of reading forums and blogs.)

Capturing and editing on 2 different systems... Possible?
In a couple of days I will recieve my pre-ordered Imac with Final Cut Pro. However, I have a strict deadline I should meet next week for a project so I want to save some time.
Here is the plan:
I capture the HDV tapes on my 6 year-old PC with Adobe Premiere Pro so I have the files ready to import to the Imac, on which I will use FCP to edit them.
Critical points I question:
-Will it give problems if I import .avi files in FCP?
-Can my computer handle the capturing proces and keep the quality of the original video?
My specs:
AMD 3400+ processor (2.2 ghz)
1 GB memory
Nvidia Geforce 7200 GT
Harddisk:
Interface IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6

Thanks for your response!!AVI files are not directly supported in FCP. You will have problems.
As Tom noted, if you are that time crunched and do not know FCP and it is a project of any complexity, it may be better to simply do the project on your old system.
If you do have the time and hard drive space (you should have an external FW800 drive for media), capture the material in FCP as ProRes and work from there. It will be faster and more stable than staying in HDV.

Turning on Filevault irrecoverably hangs even with clean OS install
It's a 13" MacBook Air 5,2 from 2012 with 128GB storage. When I turn on Filevault, it runs for about an hour before the estimated time remaining goes from 1-2 hours to "estimating time remaining" and it beach balls. I've let it sit for up to 24 hours

My remote users are using DSL to get out to the internet. However, all computers are setup with the private IP address. Is there a way to find out if the public IP address is static or dynamic? Thanks. Diane
