Pro Res and Intensity Pro Question

Hello All!,
I currently traded in my Sony FX-1 for a Sony V1-U. Very happy with everything on it so far! My question is simple. I am about to undertake a project that is some basic 2 cam sit down green screen interviews. I will be purchasing the intensity pro to capture Pro Res 422 via HDMI from the V1U. My biggest concern is that I will not be able to re-capture if needed! I have read and am pretty sure I can set my camera to HDV downconvert and my device control to DV and capture preset Pro Res 422 and capture through the intensity pro.. My only question is will this allow me to log my footage then do a batch capture. Highly critical that I am able to re-capture the footage as this client seems to come back every couple of months and make changes and I don't like to keep footage on my drives. I also think it would be beneficial to have pro-res to help me with keying the green screen as HDV is 420 and Pro res is 422. Any suggestions? thanks so much in advance!

Hello,
I have done just that sort of operation. I am using a Canon HV20 with HDMI out to
Intensity Pro. My camera allows for down convert, which I do not use, but I do connect
a firewire cable which then gives full log and capture. I am not a pro so my daily
experience is for my own needs.
I hope that gives you some help, others here might be able to offer more.

  • Pro Res and FCP X

    Will encoding my clips to Pro Res and then importing them into FCP  X speed things up instead of importing the clips straight from my camera to FCP X?

    Sorry, this is footage taken from a Canon 7D. 24fps 1920x1080. FCP gets bogged down sometimes. I have a dual quad core Mac Pro with 16 gigs of ram.
    Thanks,

    The installer for Logic Pro 8 has a bug which keeps it from operating in Lion or Mt. Lion.  Use the program Pacifist to install it.

  • Mac Pro 2013 and Premiere Pro - The performance issue that Adobe don't want us talking about!

    In May 2014 I bought a 2013 Mac Pro to help my business with the ever increasing demands video editing was placing on our systems.  I was so excited to see how the 12GB of power the AMD D700s would affect my workflow and ability to edit footage seamlessly without delays to the creative process.
    However, to my dismay pretty much since starting to work with the system I found that there was an issue with the GPUs, Mac OS and Adobe’s applications.  It was first reported by many other users in early 2014 and as yet know one from Adobe has really commented officially on the issue.
    Sadly it appears to still be present today and speaking with an Adobe rep confirmed this.  Trouble is no one is doing anything about it.  My hope is that, if you have watched this video and are experiencing the same issues then please let’s get the comments going, share and like the video and let’s get Adobe, Apple and AMD to pick up this with immediate haste! Thank you.
    Below is a video of the problem I have been experiencing.  It's a little long but I wanted to give a good account of the problem we are seeing so that someone can help! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help!
    Mac Pro 2013 and Premiere Pro GPU Issue - YouTube
    Thank you for your time and I'd love someone to help!

    Thanks for responding!  It's such a pain and I have been chatting to one of Adobe's senior consultants about this and still none the wiser.  I have sent my machine off to the retailer as it was still under warranty.  Nothing wrong with GPU apparently which is a relief although I kinda wish it had been that as it would have been an easier fix.  Adobe told me that working with H.264 is totally possible but if you have a complex sequence with multicam and nested video with effects applied then it will seriously hinder performance.  Sadly transcoding to ProRes doesn't seem to help either and they suggested not adding any effects to the nested clips, flattening out the multi cams etc and this has improved things a bit.  Sent a sequence to SpeedGrade the other day though and the machine had a fit.  FCPX though seems to be working great and has a few advantages over Premiere so I may be making a switch for this type of work until Adobe can sort out this issue.  I still feel that the application isn't fully making the most of the GPUs.  In fact, I found out that multicam is actually all still on the CPU and that they are trying to implement GPU handling of multicam soon.

  • Two version of PP on my updates, PP Pro CC and PP Pro CC (2014)  Why two? What's the diff?

    I seem to have two version of PP Pro and don't know why. There's Premier Pro CC and Premiere Pro CC (2014) Are they different versions? Are they doubled up? Should I get rid of one? I'm trying to clean my computer anyway and streamline everything so I don't want extraneous programs. 
    I also have InDesign CC (2014) Install and InDesign CS6 Update options. Are these different? If I install (2014) will it replace CS6 so I only have one of those?
    Using a Mac, latest Yosemite version, 10.10.1
    Thank you!

    When Adobe came out with the Cloud the intention was to retain one version and update as developments occured.  THey failed to meet that goal and ended up producing the CC 2014 version which is additional to the original CC.  If you do not want the original CC you can remove it.  If you have InDesign CC 2014 and know that you pay a subscription for it then you can get rid of the CS6 version.  Some people prefer to hold on to older versions in the event they need to create an older version to return to their clients (who don't have the newer version).

  • Can you run Logic Pro 8 and Logic Pro X on the same machine?

    Hello all!
    Congratulations to us on the release of the new Logic Pro!
    I am still running Logic Pro 8 (and was waiting for X to come out since I knew it wasn't too far off) but am concerned over the loss of 32-bit plug-ins with Logic Pro X (the wrapping of my old VST plug-ins alone hurts!).  I've heard that installing Logic Pro X doesn't in any way gimp Logic Pro 9's usage, but can someone confirm whether or not Logic Pro X and Logic Pro 8 can operate in harmony on the same Mac?
    As a bonus, is there any reason to believe that Apple would disable earlier versions of Logic Pro (such as version 8) from running on Mavericks?
    I am planning my Logic Pro and Mac OS migrations!  Thanks!!

  • When to use Pro Res and what else?

    I recently went up to HD and have FCP7, all I've done is DV projects, which I transfer to iDVD. I've been reading a lot about Pro Res, up to now I used DV/DVPRO NTSC. I continue to use DV ftg and slowly am coming up to HD. Question is will Pro Res make a better dvd

    Hi
    DVD is as standard (whatever program used - Toast™, DVD-Studio pro etc) ONLY SDef-Video and feeding it higher resolution forces it to down-scale and this is not done in a High quality way but here MORE IS NOT BETTER.

  • Pro Res and FCP 5.1

    I have pro res files, working in FCP 5.1.4 - importing files work but I have to render because prores files are not available in sequence settings.
    I am learning it came out with version 6 but.... question is 'can I add prores codecs to fcp 5.1.4 and use them?'
    Tried to drag codecs into easy setup folder, no go... any advice?
    Thanks

    'can I add prores codecs to fcp 5.1.4 and use them?'
    Not legally. They are only licensed with FCP 6. There is a decoder in QT 7.6, but the encoder and the ability to edit with them requires that you use FCP 6.
    Tried to drag codecs into easy setup folder, no go... any advice?
    Gotta upgrade to FCP 6 or 7.

  • PE7 and Intensity Pro

    Black Magic installs Intensity Pro presets for PPro,
    Does the Intensity Pro also work with PE7 ?
    steve

    Steve,
    While there are a few FireWire Capture cards/devices that do Capture directly into Premiere, nearly every PCI/PCIe and USB card/device requires other software to function. Once "Captured," Premiere can then Import the files. If your BM Intensity allows capture to DV-AVI, you are good to go, with no additional work. I use similar with a Turtle Beach card and its software. Once captured as DV-AVI, all is perfect.
    I do know that BM offers some CODECs of their own (actually use a few without their card). These are good ones, however for what I think you are doing, I'd stick to plain old MS DV-AVI as the CODEC/format.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Early Mac Pro EFI and 64 bit Question

    I have an early Mac Pro 2006 and have been unable to successfully install Windows 7 64 bit due to EFI incompatibility (after installation was able to boot to safe mode but unable to otherwise boot; device manager shows that MacPro incompatible).
    My question is why Apple has not provided a firmware update for the early MacPros that includes the newer EFI version present in current generation MacPros??

    Let's see, different motherboard and you don't think that matters? the front side bus and memory operate differently, the PCI slots are configured different.
    You can't just "update" firmware to cross those bridges. And I'm sure there is even more involved between EFI32 and UEFI 2.x (EFI64).
    Vista SP1 wasn't out in 2006, and UEFI wasn't finalized and supported yet.
    Apple never provided 64-bit drivers for Windows on the 1st generation Mac Pro, and none of the iMac series has had UEFI or 64-bit endorsements.
    You figured out how to install Windows 7 from inside Vista, and probably how to get Boot Camp 64-bit. All you probably need is a small Vista or Windows 7 32-bit system partition to carry you forward.

  • How to set up Final Cut Pro, Pro Res and H.264 project

    Before I dive into this edit, I want to be sure it will all be compatible.  Here's what I have:
    Pro Res HQ422 footag,  imported it into Final Cut Pro.  I also have H.264 footage imported into Final Cut Pro. Will it be possible to mix the H.264 footage on the ProRes timeline?  The ProRes footage was shot on a Canon 7d Mk II with an Atomos Ninja Star.  I have another batch of footage I'd like to use shot on a Canon 6d (full frame) that imports in as H.264.  This project will also use stills in the edit. 
    Any suggestions or comments appreciated.
    thanks
    JR

    Many of us will tell you it's no big deal to mix your media codecs. Your modern Macintosh can handle the job. Mostly.
    Myself, I use workflows that carry over from ye olden days. I transcode everything to my planned release codec before beginning to edit and the timeline is the release medium's codec. In this case, I'd be moving everything to ProRes422 (not HQ) because you can't really gain anything by converting your DSLRs' MPEG4 to ProResHQ. I have really good reasons for this step but my reasons probably are not valid to anyone else.
    Whatever advice you receive here, you must design and conduct some useful tests to determine if said advice is any good for your workflow and machine's specs. Know what your release medium is going to be; how high does the editing, rendering, and sharing quality need to be before you hit the ceiling?

  • Apple Pro RES and DVD Studio Pro    for burning DVDS

    I have a FCP file, shot in HD, 5.5 min long, in apple pro res. It needs to be in a format to send to various people to play on a commercial DVD player as well on apple and pc computers. So far I have made a H264, as well as a MPEG 2 on a "-" dvd and both will play only on my mac computer, not on a playstation 3, nor a pc, nor a commercial DVD player. What should I do?

    so sorry I sounded curt....must be the heat.
    I have zero experience. Someone was helping me compress my final cut pro movie which was apple pro res, then , in compressor we tried H.264, then MPEG 2, using "-", but neither of these would play on anything other than my mac.
    I need them to be in a format that I can send to people who may be using a pc, mac or commericial DVD player.
    It's very nice of you to reply....

  • Premiere Pro with Blackmagic Intensity Pro; Importer

    I'm using a Blackmagic Intensity Pro with Premiere Pro. I don't Import anything with it directly, i just use it to preview my timeline on a seperate monitor.
    The issue I have is when I try to import a AVI-file to my project
    before I had the Intensity Pro, Premiere would input the file as a Microsoft AVI and it worked perfectly.
    But now the exact same file is imported as a Blackmagic AVI-file. now I am experiencing green bars in my video and the color information is totally screwed up.
    So my question is: can I deactivate or change the Import-settings of Premiere, without to remove the Card completely (turn PC off, remove card, turn back on...)?

    Ok, my workflow is:
    I'm importing a video file from my hard drive via double-click or drag'n'drop. i don't capture from a video source with the intensity pro!
    the specs of the video file according to premiere are:
    Type: Blackmagic AVI File
    File Size: 1,7 GB
    Image Size: 1024 x 768
    Frame Rate: 18,00

    I've tried importing the video file at a friend's pc with premiere pro 5.5 and there the file works just fine. so I'm assuming that it has to do with the intensity pro...
    It has the same properties execpt under Type there is "Microsoft AVI File" and everything beneath Pixel Aspect Ratio isn't there.
    Thanks

  • Premiere pro CC14, Blackmagic Intensity Pro

    Im in the process of changing from FCP ver7 using a BMD Intensity Pro card (lowest priced BMD device) to Ppr cc14.  Would love to hear if anyone is using that card with Premiere Pro CC 14 and either running
    Mavericks or Mountain Lion??
    any issues?

    wouldn't Premiere Pro limit your color bit depth to 8 and your BMD be capable of a larger bit depth?
    that is my thoughts, just limiting your capabilities is my guess

  • Soundtrack Pro with Blackmagic Intensity Pro Card

    Hi
    Just wondering if anyone was using STP with the Blackmagic Intensity Pro card to monitor video on a TV?
    If so, whta are your experiences and especially does STP allow you to continue using your selected audio device (MOTU Ultralite over Firewire for me) while viewing your Quicktimes on the TV.
    Thanks in advance

    Hey Bill
    Thanks for getting back so quick! No, I've checked the audio/midi and the default audio device is my MOTU Ultralite firewire interface - even when the default output is set to the mac's internal speaker, once you select the external video it mutes the output.
    I can still see levels withing STP as if the audio is playing. There is an official Apple Support document about audio not working when you are using external video to firewire and it says that it is a bug that can be bypassed by setting your bus to surround (1-6) instead of stereo (1-2) but this has no effect for me )-:
    Would love to know if it works for you! and if so, what way you have things configured
    Thanks
