Re-capturing in different format....and media manager?

Okay this project's media and settings are all as DV NTSC Anamorphic, but when the client approves everything, I need to re-load the media as it's original HD 1080i60 format. As I'm thinking about the process I'll take, I want to get opinions from you guys b/c I've never done this before. I've used Media Manager for eliminating all other/unused media, etc....but would I use it for this instance?
I know I'll want a separate project with the appropriate HD settings and to make the media in the sequence re-load as HD. But another thing is that I'm wondering how that even works since the clip properties are already permanently set...
Sorry, hope this makes sense...I need more sleep!

G'day,
When you go to re-digitize your sequence in the new HD project:
1. select all the clips on the appropriate timeline
2. open the Log & Capture window
3. set your capture settings to your desired HD format
4. select all clips in T/L and batch digitize
5. *important* make sure to UNCHECK the Options: 'Use Logged Clip Settings' box
6. add handles if you wish
Hope this helps.

  • Clip Import and Media Manager

    Prior to moving to my MacPro and using Final Cut Pro, I used a PC and Adobe Premiere Pro to capture several reals of tape resulting in over a hundred clips in AVI format. I'd now like to import these clips into FCP to begin actully working on these projects.
    However, when I import the clips I get a "Media Warning Message" that tells me the clips are not optmiized for FCP either re-capture the clips (not practical) or use Media Manager to "...create new copies of the files to improve their performance for multi-stream playback."
    I've tried to make sense of the documentaton on Media Manager and how it applies to this message but can not quite get a handle on what I'm supposed to do.
    So, any help or suggestions would be greatly apprecited. (Fortunately, I only have two project that I have to do this for.)
    Carl

    My apologies for the long delay...I finally figured out that when I installed FCS I got QT Pro. Today I tried a conversion of one clip from my old AVI files. So, my next question is the format and process. It looks simple enought: open the AVI clip and then export it. For two clips I used the settings "Movie to Quicktime Movie" and "Most Recent Settings". Is this what I'm supposed tobe doing? And, I again apologize for these very basic questions.
    Thanks,
    Carl

  • FCP and media management

    Hi all, dreaded but simple media management question here concerning rendered effects.
    Lynda.com has no tutorial on this matter...
    How do I manage them?
    Assume scratch disk, rendered audio/video, autosaves, etc, are all on the same drive, everything going to the 'FCP Documents Folder'
    Lets say I've got L&T AVCHD clips to prores lite, no problem, placed in the capture scratch folder under a folder of the project name I names (and that FCP has placed a folder). Lets say I'm using a bunch of Boris effects. I render them, view them, change them again, render again, etc, I've finished my sequence knowing that I have orphans of rendered effects ('orphans' is an avid term for rendered effects that are 'older versions', which means you can always revert back to an 'orphan' if you didn't like the new version of a rendered effect).
    OK in the finder, I see the rendered effects folder under the name of my project, with all the rendered effects (and orphans, I believe). While I could do that manually in the finder I know it's not the smart way of doing it. I always want to think large scale.
    Is there a function WITHIN FCP NOT THE FINDER that allows me to... I don't know... 'clean up' old rendered effects that are not media relatives to the sequence(s) I've selected of that particular project in the canvas?
    cheers

    Holy Grail of information!!  I'm just trying to get my kiddo's room to not look like they vaporized out of their clothes every day!
    But yes... there is the render manager under... um... tools maybe?
    Try that.

  • IPad and Media Manager Issues

    I just installed the Verizon Media Manager App on my iPad and it will not pull anything from my pc.  It keeps telling me to register.  It lets me sign in with my id, lets me bookmark things, but I cannot pull media from my PC.  It is very frustrating.  Want to be able to view flex view stuff for the kids while on the road and cannot.  Also cannot find the fios on demand app in the App store.  Please help.  The other app that is not working at all is the MY VZ account app.  I cannot check bills, pay bills, check email or anything you should be able to do with it.  If the app's are buggy, pull them.  Please advise with any solutions.

    Here's the master page for all of Verizon's apps. Right now only the Media Manager app is available for iPad.
    In order to view your personal media, it must first be uploaded to your FlexView Library. This can be done using the Media Manager application on your PC or Mac.
    The Media Manager iPad app also allows you to stream Flex View movies and TV shows you have purchased from Verizon, whether you bought it on your set-top-box, PC or phone. In other words, it also serves as the FiOS On Demand app.

  • HELP WITH FASCINATE AND MEDIA MANAGER

    TRYING TO RUN VZ MEDIA MANAGER WITH FASCINATE TO TRANSFER PICTURES FROM PHONE TO PC BUT THE MEDIA MANAGER SAYS IT MUST SHUT DOWN BUT I CAN STILL USE PROGRAM WITH ERROR MESSAGE UP. WENT THROUGH ALL THE TRANSFER STEPS SAYS PICS WERE TRANSFERRED BUT NOTHING IS THERE ANY IDEAS

    Don't use vz mm. It sucks. Make sure you mount your phone/card right. Connect usb cable to phone and the other to a usb port on your cp. Pull down notification bar from the top of the phone screen, select to transfer, mount phone. Then just drag and drop or copy and paste. I ended up deleting the mm because it's slow, doesn't really work and imo is just an attempt towards win mp. Hope this helps!

  • Videos and media manager

    The on-screen guide says that Media Manager allows you to access photos, videos, and music. However the Media Manager application doesn't seem to support video. Is this feature coming soon?

    LOL - Yea.... I went through this... spent time setting it all up and then no video support... which is the ONLY reason this feature is worth anything as listening to music and watching static pictures is better done directly from a source on your TV so I'm confused why anyone would setup something so mildly intricate to do just static displays and mp3 streaming.
    I also talked to verizon about their "wording" as they had the terminology all wrong (not to mention clearly stating video would work). They changed it all within 24 hours and told me that "streaming video ain't gonna happen" ... at least not yet

  • FIOS TV and Media Manager turn themselves off

    Every night our TV and the Media Manager box to which it is connected switch themselves off at random times..  This happens once or twice an evening, as well as during the day if the TV has been on for a couple of hours.   I  then hit the "Tv" and "STB" buttons on the remote, followed by  "Power."  (Usually after that a message flashes on the black screen telling us to press "menu" if we want to watch TV (as we had been doing before the screen went black).

    Is the TV power cord plugging into the Verizon box?
    If your TV is plugged into the power outlet in the Verizon box and this is happening, please plug the TV in elsewhere. There could be too much power draw for the box causing it to restart.
    If the TV power cord is plugged anywhere else other than the Verizon box, theres nothing the box can do to power off your TV. There would be something else going on. You would need to investigate your electrical signal thats feeding those devices.

  • Export same XDcam format and media menagment

    I finished the project and I want to make a master file of the same format that was recorded. 
    In fcp7 I had the option  Export ... Same format.    How to do Export same format in FCP X?
    How to make arhive project only. As media menagment in FCP7.   So I have 100 GB of videos in the Library, I used about 20 GB in the Project, and want to save the project only with those shots + / - 1sec of each clip.

    Okay, this was bugging me a bit so I went back to project from yesterday and did the following:
    1) exported the last version of the project (with filter applied)
    2) duplicated the sequence, opened each clip (5) and turned off the filter, re-rendered and exported.
    #1 with filters = 452MB, #2 without filters = 535MB.
    Most interesting difference: QT reports #1 has a bit rate of 30.5 Mbps, while #2 has a bit rate of 36.1Mbps. Why the codec "chooses" a different bit rate is odd, but clearly very sensitive to picture content!

  • Capture from different video and audio sources ?

    Hey guys, I'm running Adobe CS4 Master Collection.
    In the past I've used Premiere to record the video and Soundbooth to record the audio. Then I would import the recorded audio into premiere.
    Thinking about the workflow this seems kind of long winded, really what I should be able to do is record the audio from my video camera and the audio from my microphone (not video cam audio), at the same time within premiere.
    Just wondering if anyone has a way of doing this ?
    In the capture screen options it only allows selection of the video source with the audio automatically coming from the video camera - not what I want.
    Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

    Jason,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, this was posted to the Premiere (not Pro) forum, and belongs in the Premiere Pro forum, as you have CS4. The best reason for that is that there is much more traffic out in the PrPro forum, so you'll get more responses.
    Now, to address your question: I see your normal workflow as being the best one. You are talking about the Video from your camera and then narration. Doing them as separate operations will be the easiest and the best, as they are, well separate operations.
    One possibility would be to hook your mic to an XLR input on your camera, preview the footage and record your additional Audio Track to the tape, or card. However, you are then faced with having more than the 2 origianl channels of Audio. You would need to use SceneAlyzer Live (for SD material), or HDVSplit (for HD material), to Capture those additional channels of Audio for use in PrPro, as it will NOT Capture them.
    I'd guess that the time to do that sort of workflow would be as long, as doing it your way. Also with your way, you can redo botched narration much more quickly.
    Maybe someone has another method, to run both Soundbooth and PrPro at the same time, other than on side-by-side computer, but you'll still have the issue of bothched narration - gotta' get it 100% the first time, or you'll be really playing "catch up."
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Refinement and media management

    I have captured the maximum amount of footage that my computer has space for, and I have already made this footage into sequences and burned it. Now I need to delete the original captured footage so I can capture new material. Is there a way I can delete all of the clips that are not being used in a sequence? Thanks.

    Yes, but very carefully - make absolutely sure the clip(s) are not in use by another project.
    Captured clips are normally located in your Final Cut Express > Capture Scratch folder. They can be deleted from there.
    Render Files also take up a lot of space. You can delete them too, but if you accidentally delete a render file that's being used in another project, you'll have to re-render that part of the project. Not usually a big deal.

  • Capture in any format using VitualDub and TV@anywhere

    I think the software that comes with this card is junk, i use virtualdub capture feature allowing me to capture in ANY format and codec saving TONS of hd space by capturing uing XViD format and MP3.
    You can find it here and best of all its free....
    Virtual Dub

    In the Browser and assuming you are viewing in list mode, to the right of your clips listing you will see a bunch of columns -Media Duration, In Point, Out Point etc.
    Scroll that further to the right and you will eventually see a column for Anamorphic. Remove the check mark, by clicking on it for each clip.
    Go to the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup and choose the non-Anamorphic version of your video format. Menu bar again: Sequence > Settings > Load Sequence Preset. You should now be set up to edit in good old 4:3.

  • Media Manager - Images tranferred - Displays a red X

    Have 8703e BB. Have Internet Services turned off directly by Sprint - don't need it and do not want to be charged for the non-communication Casual Data Usage (a slick illegal method cell phone companies charge when internet services are turned off - had to file federal charges before they took it off my bill). Can't download ringtones or pictures.
    Tried to transfer ringtones and images a while ago and Media Manager would not recognize my device. Finally found out that without an external card, the Media Manager would not recognize my device.
    However, just installed the new OS and Desktop Manager 4.2.2.14 with Media Manager and it recognizes my device! 
    I transferred a ringtone from my PC to my device and...YES...Viva La Vida plays!!!!
    BUT, two images I transferred show up with a generic image thumbnail and the picture displayed is just a small red X in the upper left hand corner. Yet, when I highlight the folder in the device in Media Manager, the pictures display very clearly.
    To also clarify, the pictures reside in MEDIA>PICTURES>DEVICE MEMORY
    Under properties for the folder, the file path is - /Device Memory/home/user/pictures
    The sizes of the pictures are 37KB and 65KB, hardly any different than the images in the Preloaded Pictures folder, which path is /Device Memory/samples/pictures
    Is this a BB issue or Media Manager issue? As I said, the ringtone transferred and works, the images transferred and are listed, but don't display. Anyone have a solution to this problem?
    I've reset the device by taking the battery out, etc. Nothing. Pictures still give me the red x.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Ok, so this has been driving me nuts for such a long time. I did everything that anyone suggested and nothing worked. This included creating a new temp internet files folder, checking and unchecking all the appropriate boxes, creating a new profile, and
    most other things suggested. Then I cam across something on a forum (sorry I don't know the link) that made me think. I looked through the reg to the key HKCU>Software>Microsoft>Office>15.0
    (I use outlook 2013 but previous versions of office were there as well.)>Outlook>Security>OutlookSecureTempFolder. My setting was C:\Users\"USER"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\TIF\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\B5U77NH4\.
    NOTE: TIF is where I chose to create the new Temporary Internet Files folder. Ur most likely will be different or not there at all!!!
    What I realized was that the last folder in this setting was different that the actual folder on my harddrive. So I edited just the last folder B5U77NH4 to be the same as the folder on my HDD. WALA this worked and works great currently. All the other fixes
    sometimes worked for a short while but always reverted back.  I do have to say though that prior to doing this I went into Internet Options and deleted all the browsing history. EVERYTHING it sucked for freq visited websites but I wanted to start fresh.
    Then I physically selected every item that was still in my Temp Internet files folder, even B5U77NH4 and manually deleted every item. That way any folder that was created dynamically would be gone. What was left and would not delete was B5U77NH4 so that is
    the folder I chose to copy into the registry.
    ]This has been so frustrating but now it seems to work. I hope this helps.

  • Working with many different formats/codecs/frame rates within one Sequence.

    Good Afternoon,
    As an editor for an ad agency I am being tasked with cutting a demo reel together. Nothing too difficult.
    The reel is to include video footage of past projects, going back a couple years or so. The footage that I will be given will undoubtably be in a variety of formats, codecs, frame sizes, frame rates, etc (all SD, though). Delivery is SD DVD.
    My question is this:
    What is the best way to set up my timeline for a barrage of clips with differing specs?
    Do I encode all the media assets FIRST to conform to my Sequence Settings? Or do I just deal with the large amounts of timeline rendering as I work with different formats and codecs? Or do I....?
    I am running FCP 5.1.4, so I don't have the Open Timeline feature going for me.
    I appreciate any advice and tips you can offer!
    Thanks!

    Your final format is NTSC SD DVD, so you're going to have to go to 720x480 at some point. This is what I would upscale to. Make sure your "client" knows that the 320x240 wmv's may not look to good in the final production.
    Personally I use MPEG Streamclip (an excellent FREE application that's part of many a pro's arsenal) for this kind of conversion and/or upscaling. It's not particularly intuitive (especially for upscaling) so read the manual.
    You may need to get hold of Flip4Mac or Episode for the wmv conversions.
    I would tend to convert to a lossless codec like Apple Uncompressed or Animation. You could try going to NTSC-DV but you're going to lose some quality initially and again when you do the final mpeg2 compression.
    Experiment.

  • Media Manager GRAYED OUT in Desktop Manager 4.6

    I bought my first Blackberry, an 8320 Curve, a few weeks ago.  It came with Desktop Mgr 4.3 which didn't include Media Manager.  So when I bought and installed a 4 Gb expansion card in my Curve, I downloaded the 4.6 Desk Mgr update WITH Media Manager.
    But when I click on Media Manager on the main screen,  I get a page divided in half, with Blackberry Media Sync on the righ, usable, and Media Manager on the left, all grayed out including its start button.
    I installed the Blackberry Media sync, thinking this would give me access to Media Manager, but it didn't.  I've found a number of posts reporting this problem on the net, but no proper solution to it posted yet.
    What am I doing wrong?  Thanks!!

    I understand your frustration as I spent hours on this already.  I installed and uninstalled at least 5 times.  The solution is quite simple.  Once I got this working I didn't try the sequence in a different order which likely doesn't make a difference however this is what I did.
    1.  Uninstall the device software
    2.  Uninstall the desktop software
    3.  Log into the administrator account (not an account with admininstrator rights)
    4.  Install the device software (ensuring you have the media manager version which can be found on the blackberry.com website)
    5.  Install the desktop software and suddenly the media manager starts loading
    I certainly hope this helps.  I'm certain the order of the installation is irrelevant and that the account being used to install the product is the issue.
    Good luck!
