Proper presets for capturing and sequencing 24p in HD?

i am using a Canon HV40 camcorder in 24p mode (in HD) and now want to capture the footage into final cut pro and create a sequence. i am wondering what exact Sequence Preset and Capture Preset I should use.
I am guessing I should use:
Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1920x1080 24p 48 kHZ
and keep the Capture Preset at plain old "HDV"?

Are Easy Setups with Custom Capture and Sequence Presets Portable?

Hi,
I created some Custom Capture and Sequence Presets. Then I created some Easy Setups that use these presets.
Can I copy the Easy Setups to another machine or do I need to create or copy the Custom Presets in order for the Easy Setups to work?
If I need to copy or create the Custom Presets how can I copy them (which files do they live in)?
Thanks!
Mitch

These files are located in HD/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Settings... so just drag the custom setups from there to a flash drive or CD and then place them in the other system's folder in the same path.

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for the reply. The Easy Setups are in the directory you mentioned but the Custom Presets are not.
My question is are the custom presets used by the Easy Setup contained inside the Easy Setups? If not are there files I can copy or do I need to manually create them on the second Mac?
Since the other Mac is 50 miles away I have no easy way to test this. If there are files I can bring rather than redoing the custom presets that would be quite a bit easier.
Thanks Again!

Best Capture and Sequence settings for project ending up as digital file

Hi. Looking for capture/setting advice.
I am used to working in broadcast NTSC 10-bit uncompressed video, but I now have a project which needs to end up as MPEG-1 files. The tapes I have were recorded NTSC 4:3. Should I capture the footage in DV instead of Uncompressed 10-bit, and set my sequence frame size as DV? Will this avoid the reshaping of the image when I output to an MPEG1, or will I lose quality?
Thanks for the knowledge.

The tapes were recorded on DVCAM 4:3, but we have an
analogue capture board (AJA IO).
Then for best quality you should be capturing via FireWire as DV (its native format) and then editing in an uncompressed sequence.
This issue came up after I had captured and edited in
the 10-bit uncompressed (space is not an issue), then
was called upon to export stills of the footage,
which, of course, came out in the 720 x 486 format,
much to the consternation of the person who had to
use the stills. This person didn't understand how
the MPEG1 files could come out square, but the stills
came out in 720 x486. So it made me wonder whether I
shoudn't be editing in DV or some other "square"
format to begin with.
DV (DVCam) isn't a square pixel format. It's the same as what you've got except it's missing a measly six usually-blank lines at the top. You just have to make sure it doesn't get stretched into the 486 lines.
For your graphics person: all they have to do is stretch them to 10% narrower or 11% taller when they place them. That's all.

SUGGESTION TO ADOBE: PLEASE CREATE A PROPER FORUM FOR SUBSCRIPTION AND BILLING ISSUES

I think and many will agree, that it is about time that Adobe would create a forum just for subscription or billing issues.
There are so many people looking for help that taking this issues to a specific forum, would help in reducing the signal to noise ratio and keep a focus on specific topics. Yes, Adobe should fix these issues and I am sure they are being address but creating proper channels would speed up support, from Adobe staff and from people that, for crazy reasons, volunteer here.
I try to help, but sometimes just the Creative CLoud forum is like a raging river of people looking for help and if it was divided in some topics, it would be a great help. So:
- Create a Creative Cloud membership and Billing issues: It is about time
- How-to and technical issues are still well served by the topics.

Hi Luis,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
I completely apprehend your point of view, the billing issues deal with credit card information which are highly secured information, there is only one authorized group taking care of billing issues.
Regarding Invoice issues, please feel free to raise it here, we do try to resolve them at the earliest.

Capturing and editing 24p from panasonic dvx100a

hi all,
forgive me if this post seems thoroughly redundant...but after several hours of searching the web i am utterly confused. I need help!
here's where I'm at:
shot a project with a dvx100a for the first time. Shot everything at 24p Standard (aka F5 mode on the camera).
am editing in FCP 4.5 and the
final destination for the project is the web..but might need to make dvd's for the client along the way.
also want to incorporate a few Super 8mm shots that are already transfered to MiniDV into the edit as well.
my main question(s) is this:
1. What setting do I capture my 24p footage at?
normal dv ntsc? dv ntsc advanced 2:3:3:2 pulldown removal? dv ntsc anamorphic? what about cinema tools reverse telecine or 3:2 pulldown removal? i'm confused by all the conflicting advice i've read...
2. What setting do i create my sequence at for editing?
dv ntsc normal? dv ntsc 23.97? dv ntsc anamorphic? again confused here by conflicting info on the web...
3. What does the cinema tools reverse telecine do/achieve?
4. What's the optimal output settings/process for the web (quicktime movie) to keep it looking like it does when i watch the raw footage back in camera?
any and all advice, tips and guidance is GREATLY appreciated. i need to get started on this project and can't figure out what is the best settings/means to get going with.

one quick answer I can give you is all your questions regarding anamorphic settings. The only time you use the anamorphic settings is when you shoot your footage using the anamorphic option in your camera or use an anamorphic lens. How can you tell after the fact? Well, look in your capture window with the regular settings. Do people look stretched top ways, look taller and skinnier than normal? If you answered yes, then you need the anamorphic (or 16:9) settings. Once you switch this, you will immediately see the proper conversion in you're capture window (everyone will look normal again and you will be capturing a 16:9 image).
As for the 24p, 3:2 pulldown stuff, I simply cannot answer as that is still all foreign to me.
You might want to also inquire as to weather the camera shoots true 24p (progressive) or if it is interlaced footage.
hope this helps a little bit.

Settings for Capture and edit HDV

I Bought two Sony V1's yesterday and shot a wedding with them today. No problem capturing the footage but when I place it in the time line I need to render. ( Red line above footage) So i guess the settings are wrong.
In the Audio/Video tab, I have
Sequence preset HDV - 1080i50
Capture Present HDV
Device Control Preset Sony HDV Firewire
What else havent I done? (It was a 13 hour shoot so I'm a bit tired but just wanted to see how it looked. Maybe a good night sleep will help!)
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Two 3Ghz Duel Core Intel Xeon 4 Gig ram

You are going to get this sort of thing a lot. When you try to print to tape at the end it can happen again.
If you are getting problems you should reset your easy settings and copy and paste the edited material (not the sequence or you wil just nest the old sequence inside it) into a newly created easy set up sequence.

TSQL for capture and insert to a user table when blcoking is happening on a SQL server

Hi,
I am searching for a TSQL which will capture the blocking script to a table with execution plan and all other necessaryu details. I tried with below script but its not giving the text for blocked statement
I t will be nice if i get RequestingText and BlockingTest
SELECT @@servername as Instancename,getdate() as [date],session_id,start_time,status,command,database_id,blocking_session_id,
wait_type,wait_time,last_wait_type,ST.TEXT AS SQL,
wait_resource,open_transaction_count,cpu_time,total_elapsed_time,reads,writes,logical_reads,text_size from sys.dm_exec_requests SR
CROSS APPLY SYS.DM_EXEC_SQL_TEXT(SR.SQL_HANDLE) AS ST
where blocking_session_id >0
I tried the below link also, this this script also got blocked
http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2010/10/06/sql-server-quickest-way-to-identify-blocking-query-and-resolution-dirty-solution/

But when you run select * from sys.sysprocesses where blocked >0
i can see blocking
and it will be nice if I get RequestingText and BlockingTest
in the user table
You can get the requesting text for the spid that is blocked, plus all the other information you get from sys.sysprocesses by
select SUBSTRING(st1.text, (p.stmt_start/2)+1,
((CASE p.stmt_end
WHEN -1 THEN DATALENGTH(st1.text)
ELSE p.stmt_end
END - p.stmt_start)/2) + 1) AS RequestingText,
p.*
from sys.sysprocesses p
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(p.sql_handle) AS st1
where p.blocked <> 0;
But you will not bee able to get the command that caused the lock that is causing the blocking. SQL does not keep that information. For a lock, it only keeps the spid that owns it, what is locked, and the kind of lock. It does not keep
the command that caused the lock. And while you can, at least sometimes get the last command the blocking spid has issued, but that may well not be the command that caused the lock. The command that caused the lock might be anything the blocking
spid ran since it entered transaction state. And since that could be the last command or many, many commands ago, you won't be able to get that information with a query into the system tables and/or views.

I have 64bit windows and install proper one for windows and get error saying wron i tunes and to reinstall the right one

i cant get itunes to install also get error after 1 use that itunes does not work again

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

Loosing preset for Entity and Subtype generation

I can change the two options in
Entitiy Properties->Subtypes->Entitiy and subtypes generation preset
and the change has some kind of effect. But when I save and reopen the model the changes are lost. And during the next engineering some strange things happen.
Is this a bug in my model or a bug in the modeler?

it's not a property, it's preset functionality - Entity Inheritance

Camera Raw brightness and contrast preset for art capture?

I'm capturing oil paintings for reproduction with a D3x tethered to Lightroom 3. I'm converting though in camera raw. My camera profile is created using Color Checker Passport software/target which uses a DNG file. Given that, the profile is build without brightness or contrast adjustments. My question is, for accurate color, tone and exposure capture should the default ACR presets for brightness and contrast be reset to 0?
Thanks!

Or use the Zero'd setting on import to get no initial settings. However, I thing you'll find doing your own is better.

HD - best capture and edit for NTSC Sd output?

I shoot in HD but need to output for community TV channel in Standard NTSC. What shoud my capture and sequence settings be for optimum picture quality for playback?

Two suggestions.
When I did shows on the local community tv, they had pretty rigid specs I needed to conform to. So check with whomever you are producing for, the station will give you what they need.
For my local community tv, it was 29.97 frame rate bitrate 6000-8000 720x480 mpeg2. Audio was 2 ch stereo bit rate of either 192 or 256, 44.1 or 48 khz.
So I would export in prores and use something like Compressor to change.

hi
>is there will be any effect in our existing procedure We want to follow both for some time , after that we will do only in MIGO,
yes u can use both simultniously
but in MIGO if u capture, the step of updation J1i5 will be ommited (it will take palce automatically)
like currently ur doing capture >update >post
in migo only capture and then post
>second think is that now while posting the capture excise invoice in J1IEX we rae entering part 1 number, so can we do woth >this while capturing it thorugh migo or we have to post with vendor excise invoice number only.
You can do capture and post simultaniously in migo only
the separate transaction is given as persons or users may be diffrent for GR and excise
if the same user want to do the GR and cap and posting then yes he can
for capture and posting u also have to tick Post Excise Invoice Captured in MIGO in excise grp settings

Problem with Video Capture, and question towards solution

Yesterday I worked on a commercial for which we captured 9 clips (roughly 10 seconds or shorter in length). The clips all had text/titles superimposed on them by an outside machine and looked good in the monitors when they were exported and captured into FCP (ie: none of the text was chopped off).
I edited the commercial and then was exporting it out, only to discover that the text on the bottom of the clips was getting chopped off.
My first question is this: is there some setting in the capture process that could have done this? something that might have gotten tweaked accidently, or corrupted in some manner? Didn't have this problem with footage captured the previous day. And since it looked good before it was put into FCP, thinking it had to be a problem with FCP.
Also, in trying to tweak the footage in FCP, I came across a 'there must be an easier way to do it' question. Is there a way to alter parameters on multiple clips (such as raising them, like I had to)? I tried selecting all and double clicking, hoping that the changes I made would affect them all, but it only affected the one I directly clicked. I'm sure there's something simple (and obvious) that I'm overlooking...
thanks!

For how and why this could have happened, would you mind sharing your capture and sequence settings?
As far as applying parameters to multiple clips, I think you can make use of the Paste Attributes function in FCP...
Alter one of your problematic clips
Select that clip in the Timeline, then press Command-C (or control-click and choose Copy from the contextual menu)
Select the remainder of your problematic clips
With your clips selected press Option-V (or control-click on one of them and select Paste Attributes from the contextual menu) to bring up the Paste Attributes dialog
Select Basic Motion - under the Video options, on your left-hand side - then click OK
(Basic Motion because, if I understand your solution correctly, you altered the Center property - either in the Motion tab of the Viewer or manually in the Canvas - of your clips. You nudged them all up a bit, right? If you did, then that would fall under the Basic Motion attribute.)
All your selected clips should be nudged up appropriately.
But, again, I'm making a bit of leap since I'm not entirely sure what caused your issue in the first place.
