ProRess 422 HDV codec time-code out by 5 seconds

I encoded two HDV 1080i50 PAL tapes from my Sony HVR-V1E with ProRes 422 and also the standard Aplpe HDV codec and the ProRes 422 clips time code where around 5 seconds earlier than the HDV and tapes time-code!
My settings are:
Camera: Sony HVR-V1E
Video source 1080 50i PAL
OS X 10.4.11
QuickTime 7.3.1
FCP 6.0.2
Sequence preset: Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 50i 48Khz
Capture Preset HDV-Apple ProRes 422
Device Control Sony HDV 1080i50 FireWire
Have reported this issue to Apple UK and am awaiting a response.

In Fcp, Are your user preferences set to break clips on t/c breaks? from the menubar, >Final cut pro>User Preferences> On the right hand side on the first tab (general) there is a little section 'abort capture on Timecode breaks' just underneath that is a pulldown 'On timecode breaks' choose 'warn after capture' and you should end up with full and solid clips. BTW uncheck the 'abort capture...' box above the pulldown as well.
Hope it helps.

  • Source Media Time Code in Export Frame Metadata

    It is possible to include source media time code in the XMP metadata for images created using the Export Frame command? When I export a frame, the metadata only contains sequence time code. I work for an aerial survey and remote sensing firm, and we use time of day time code from aerial video footage in many places in our workflow. We include still frames of key points in the video in our deliverables for clients, and the time code values we need come from the same points as those still frames, so our current workflow uses RedCine-X to export still frames and Digital PIE to extract source time code from those images. I would strongly prefer to work only in Premiere Pro and never open RedCine-X, but I can't keep the workflow all in Premiere Pro if I can't get source time code out with the images.

    That's a good suggestion Jim. I did try that before I posted, and exporting from the source monitor does embed time code in the XMP, but it's not time code I recognize. It's neither the media source time code nor the sequence time code where that frame appears in the only sequence I have in my test project. For example, I just exported a frame from the source monitor at 18:43:45:15 in the source media time code. That frame appears at 00:43:23:22 in the sequence I have open, and I used match frame to open the frame in the source monitor. The resulting time code in the XMP for the exported frame is 00:44:53:06. There are no options for anything except file name, format, and output directory in the Export Frame dialog, so I don't know how to control what time code Premiere sends out from the source monitor.

  • Apple HDV codec and Out of Memory error on transferred project

    Hi,
    I recently captured and have been editing fine with HDV footage on my iMac (surprisingly enough). My question is, I transfered the entire project to a collegue to edit on his new Powerbook(much faster than my machine) he gets two errors when he tries to open the sequence. 1. Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card. Then, 2 - Out of Memory. He can play the audio off the QT movies but the display is only white. I looked up the Movie info for the QT movies and mine is reading that it is Apple HDV codec. The exact same clip's Movie info on his Powerbook is reading only HDV? Can anybody help? I'm pretty perplexed on this one.
    Thanks!

    It really would be useful if you included information like: FCP versions, QT versions, how the footage was captured and what codec was used?
    Do you and he have matching versions of FCP? of QT?
    If he doesn't have the codec you used to capture, then he t'aint gonna play the file. It is as simple as that.

  • HDV & Premiere? Can I convert with Time Code?

    I have hours of HDV footage to begin editing that was brought in via FCP.  I'm considering switching over and editing the documentary in Premiere.  How well does Premiere handle HDV?  I've been advised to convert it all to pro res even if working in Premiere.  Anyone agree?  If so, is there any way to convert it and keep the Time Code from the HDV footage?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have been doing it for some years up to a year ago.
    No complaints, but then I am on Windows.
    HDV is less demanding then lets say AVCHD.

  • Time code zeros out with batch capture

    I've captured DVCam footage that had been logged for 10 min increments. FCP captured all footage successfully from start of tape to end in 10 min clips, but the time code for each clip starts at zero. So I have 4 or 5 clips that all have the same time code, but are different content. Any ideas why this may have happened. Oh and it happened through several tapes before we noticed it. Strangely, the last clip on each tape captured with the correct time code...

    I've seen this happen before. The only fix I've seen is to recapture the footage.

  • Audition jumps time code forward on audio extracted from a .mov file

    I have a video file with a starting time code of 10:41:17:23.   I open this file in Audition, apply a noise reduction effect, and export the file out as a new .wav file.
    However, instead of the audio file having a starting time code of  10:41:17:23, the time code on the file starts at  10:41:34:20. 
    So, the time stamp has jumped forward 16 seconds, 21 frames.   And, the jump amount is not consistent.  Another file had a 37 second plus jump.
    Since we are talking about the STARTING time stamp, in all instances, I believe frame rate, codec, etc. are immaterial unless someone can convince me otherwise.
    If I was dealing with different frame rates/codecs/etc., I could understand the time code being out of sync later in the file, but I cannot understand why it would be out of whack at the very start of the file.
    Anyone got any ideas on possible cause/cure?   It's a pain having to manually search for the audio file for the correct location instead of being able to just punch in the same time code the video uses.

    OK. I double checked and the timecode showed 23.976 for my test .mov file in Premier Pro,  with a sample rate of 48,000  32-bit. 
    I made sure my timecode default was set to SMPTE 23.976 in Preferences/Time Display in Audition.  I then opened the .MOV file in Audition, let it split the audio out, and moved the audio to the editor panel.
    The timecode in the audition editor panel shows 23.976.  The preview panel also shows 23.976. 
    For what is worth, the "time code" block of blue numbers in the lower bottom left of the Audition preview panel shows 00:00:00:00.    I believe this is because the primary "Time Code Start" field in the Canon 70D .mov format files is empty and the camera is putting the time code in the Alternate Time code fields.
    I then opened the Effects drop down menu and applied Noise Reduction/Restoration, option Adaptive Noise Reduction, using the preset "Light Noise Reduction."
    After the apply completed I saved the modified audio file with a format of Wave PCM, leaving the Sample type at the default of 48000 HZ Stereo, 32-bit and Format settings of Wave Uncompressed 32-bit floating point (IEEE).
    I left the box checked next to "Include Markers and Other Metadata."  And, clicked OK.
    I then went to Premier Pro and opened the just saved audio file.  The starting time code on the file is 10:38:52:22.   This does not match the starting time code on the original MOV file which is 10:38:14:10.
    So, based on my limited understanding of both Premier Pro and Audition, I am gettting the exact same sample rate settings and time code settings all the way through the process in both Premier Pro and Audition up to the point of saving the modified file out of Audition.  It is at the point of saving that things get changed.
    Charles asked me to post screenshots and a sample file somewhere.  I am working on doing those tonight.  I just have to figure out where to post them.  My original test files were quite large, but I got the same results with a 2 second file in my second test, so I'll post those files someplace.

  • FCP7 having issues with HDV codec

    So, one of our other editors saw an update pop up for QT and when it finished we were no longer able to read the HDV codecs on the computer. We have another computer thankfully to finish up some projects, but we need this computer to run as well. Plenty of our older footage was shot on HDV and we had already encoded them for that.
    So, what have I done.
    - I reseted FCP7 - No changes but the usual preferences in the initial startup.
    - Deleted and re-installed QT - No change.
    - Tried to download the Pro support codec from the QT download area in Apple.com - Wouldn't let me because it stated that there was a current version on the computer.
    I have read and read and read many other people with this issue, and the only thing people answer back is, don't update software. Fine and dandy, but I haven't seen a solution to getting out of that hole after the update. My fellow associate just wasn't thinking at the time and thought the update would be okay. Obviously not.
    Thoughts anyone? We are still on FCP7 here, just haven't been happy with FCPX really and we are too deep in projects to jump on to Premiere to learn a different layout for our edits right now.
    Thank you for any comments and suggestions you bring to the table here. If any one knows the support phone line that would be helpful too ... I couldn't find that here.

    To start, uninstall the update if you can. Even if the editor didn't note the ID, you should be able to find it by date or something.
    In general, I always try to download any updates and run them manually rather than letting them run automatically. It allows me time to read the release notes and make sure I don't end up in your shoes.
    If you can't uninstall, you may need to re-install the OS in order to get things straight. If so you may also need to re-install FCS 3 as well. This
    FCS Remover - Uninstall Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Compressor, Soundtrack Pro, Color, DVD Studio Pro, LiveType, Cinema Tools
    will make the job easier.
    good luck

  • Time code break

    I'm doing a short video piece, got a time code break warning after 10 minute capture. What's the consequence of this, it's just a 5 minute piece that will be easy to edit, do I have to be concerned about this?
    thanks
    Jim

    What codec are you using and are you connecting via firewire? we recently upgraded our edit bays to 6.0.5 and a new issue that has come is very similar to what you describe.
    we shoot reality tv and so the timecode breaks on our tapes create perfect clips for us using the "Create New Clip on timecode break" option. We shoot on Z1Us in the HDV format. Since the upgrade, we randomly get a notification saying capture aborted due to timecode break. we can roll back the tape and the next pass will work.
    I know HDV timecode is fickle but its weird that it start in a later version of FCP 6 and not 6.0.1

  • Piero's time code generator/ FINAL CUT EXPRESS

    Does anyone know how to use Piero's time code program? I cannot get the numbers to move once I place the effect on the clip. They just stay at 00:00:00. Using FINAL CUT EXPRESS

    Getting the same problem. No numbers rolling over.
    Using: FCE 4.0.1, PF's TC Gen. v4.2
    Plugin used in: FCE
    Filter is applied to a slug being composited over other clips (so I can apply PF's TC Gen. over a range of cuts, rather than each underlying cut)
    Timecodes: FCE TimeCode
    CURRENT TC: Checked, others unchecked.
    Some font and size options tailored.
    Easy Setup:
    Format: HD, RATE: 25.00fps
    Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p25

  • My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up.  Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
    Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests.  But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum.  there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

  • WAITING FOR TIME CODE....again

    Hi, when I try to capture from DV device, the capture window appears "PREVIEW DISABLED" I can remote the dv device, mark time code in or out, play tape, pause tape, the time code in the capture window run and is the same taht the tape, but when I do batch capture, cpture clip or capture now, the preview window of catpure says : "WAITING FOR TIME CODE" "DEVICE MUST IN VTR MODE WHEN DEVICE CONTROL IS ENABLED" and when I abort the capture this message apperas: "THIS OPERATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETED AS THERE IS NO VIDEO", Quicktime pro is unabled to capture too, but IMOVIE capture without this problem. I download the firewire sdk from developer connection of apple and use AVCVideo Cap, and no problem for cature, so , my Firewire or dv devices are ok, with DVHSCap I capture PRO HD JVC very well.
    Resume , I think there is a problem with quicktime and DV format, My Ibook G4 with FCP 5.0.1 capture from DV devices OK, without problem. If anybody resolved this please comment with us. I work to day with FCP 6.0.4 and quicktime 7.5 and Mac os 10.4.11 and 10.5.4 the problem is afected my PowerPC G5 and my powerbook intel. Another point of interest is that this problem is RANDOM, some times I can capture from DV devices in the first time, some times I can't capture.

    Hey AL
    How ya doin buddy?
    "Either way, try an Easy Setup>DV Converter, to match your video standard (Pal or NTSC)."
    Yep - did that
    Yes actually my older Sony TVR-310 camcorder IS a digital unit which can also play back analog tapes.
    As I'm getting my way around now in FCE, I'm coming to some conclusions in regard to FCE's capture capability.
    First let me say that I've also tried capturing some footage in FCE with my other Sony TVR-950, and have had dropped frames, and also breaks in time code.
    I thought dropped frames were strictly a PC issue?
    Anyway, it appears to me that FCE is VERY sensitive to time code issues NO matter which camera is in the chain.
    In fact, I've also read here where folks have a lot of trouble with their Canon GL2's as well. Some of you have even suggested to do your captures in a cheaper Mini DV, or a clam-shell playback machine. This conserves the heads on your GL2 as well.
    But why would FCE do better in regard to capturing and time code, with a cheaper Mini DV Camcorder? Perhaps I'm missing something here?
    Perhaps iMovie doesn't care about the same issue?
    Now my main question is:
    Ok I'll use iMovie6 HD (tried and true), to capture ALL my footage and just save the DV files to be edited later (imported) into FCE.
    Does this sound like a viable solution to FCE's time code issues?
    Will my iMovie captures be JUST AS GOOD as if they were done in FCE?
    Thanx so much guys!

  • Time Code displayed on an External Monitor? Is this possible?

    I'm sure this is a dumb question, but is there a way to view your FC time code on your footage through your external monitor? I selected the show time code overlays from the viewer but it only shows up on the monitor on the computer screen and then goes a way when you play a clip. Is there something I’m missing that will allow me to watch the time code on playback, and on an external monitor? Thanks.

    BIG TIME...by Digital Heaven:
    http://www.digital-heaven.co.uk/bigtime/
    This will allow you to have TC display on one of your computer monitors. You cannot have it display on an external monitor...not on any NLE I know of. Not unless you are outputting to a deck and you have TC on the deck (the SUPER out on the back) routed to the monitor.

  • Is there any kind of TIME CODE app for iMovie?

    It would be so much easier to edit, if you had a time code on, especially, things like long interviews. Am I missing something? It seems so obvious that this would be very useful. I have a Sony AVCHD camcorder, and the clock is set. Is there a data code I should be seeing, or is there a way to add it to the events?
    Thank you.

    There is no professional time code as in Final Cut Pro.
    However, you can see the time metadata by clicking View/Display Playhead Information. When you cursor over your event, you will see the timecodes.
    Also, it is helpful to go into iMovie/Preferences and put a check next to "Display Time as hh:mm:ss:frames". This lets you edit to the nearest frame (1/30th of a second). Without this checked you can only edit to the nearest tenth.
    For long interviews, be sure to check out the [Cutaway function.|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#cutaway%20pip]

  • Time Code discrepancies

    Hi all
    Does anybody have an idea how to get FCP to display the correct time and key code of the clips I am importing in my timeline? The clips are telecines the contain both video tc and film frame numbers.
    Thanks

    I was given file based stuff. The tc cinema tools sees is of by two frames. The key code once you set it up (according to the burned one) is OK. In Quick time, in one machine the time code shows correctly in the other the tc track is not checked and cannot be read or extracted. Once in FCP, in one machine the code is off by a minute, in the other, the file cannot even be imported getting the message that the file (the same as the file name) is missing and the movie will not play. I tried everything I could think of, i.e. resetting FCP and QT (via preferences and cashes) getting rid of third party codecs I have leaving only the fcp ones. The material was given to me as 8 bit uncompressed video but whatever I do the problems remain. I even converted it to dvcpro 50 and imported the tc (in the machine where qt can read it) but the problem remains. FCP either does not read the code correctly or, in the case of the second mac, does not import the file. I guess this is how one can get hooked to drugs...

  • Time code changes when reconnecting  media

    I have been working on a project for over year. Recently my computer was stolen when shooting abroad and now I had to buy a new one (leopard op sys) and reinstall my software to continue working. As I recapture the lost media a warning window pops out: "you are about to capture non drop frame media to a drop frame clip......". My media was shot with a panasonic 100a (24p), and since I started the project I have been capturing with the DV NTSC setting (it captures 29.97 drop frame). When I recapture, the clips in the browser appear as reconnected but the TIME CODE changes, and clips on the timeline referencing that media still appear offline (others don't even if the referenced clip is the same). If I try to reconnect from the timeline it tells me that media start and end do not match. I will appreciate any suggestions.

    Are you using a different camera/deck to capture this time than you used the last time?
