Rendering after capture

Hello,
Is there a way to stop the rendering that occurs after a movie is captured?
I understand that it is the creation of thumbnails but I need to know if there is a way to stop that and make it happen later.
For what I need it, I have to be able to begin a new capture right away.
I appreciate any feedback.
Thank you!

For certain cameras, like AVCHD, you can import to an archive, and then later do the import from the archive copy.

17" MacBook Pro freezes after Capture to external hard drive!!!!!! HELP!!

Ok, so i just got my new MacBook Pro and Final Cut Studio last week, and i was so excited, until this happened. I was trying to log and capture a clip to my 500GB LaCie Big Disk and everything seemed to be going fine until the clip got to the end of it's alloted time and then the computer just froze. When I closed the lid and let the laptop sleep and opened it again the clip is in place and everything seems fine. I tried capturing then w/ the LaCie plugged into the FW8oo port and my miniDV Deck plugged into the FW4oo, and it froze again after capture and then worked fine after closing the lid. Thinking I was crowding my Fire Wire bus I hooked up an external USB 2.0 drive and my deck to the fire wire , but the same thing happened. So then I tried capturing to my internal and it worked fine. I've captured to an external on my 17" iMac G5 w/ Final Cut HD for years and never had a problem. Any tips? This closing the lid thing just isn't going to work.
MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

nope, david is right on the mark. powermacs with one firewire bus choke like this. i can't understand why apple continues to design with one firewire bus but i'm not a designer. anyone, ANYONE who uses firewire harddrives and firewire tape machines/cameras for editing NEEDS to invest in a seperate sort of firewire card (pick your flavor) and then we'd see this behavior go away. then there will be those that will whine "this never happened before!" it's happening now, firewire cards a cheap insurance against these issues.

Audio and video out of sync after capture from Canon

Help for a newbie please? I have a Canon XHA1S and have a problem after capturing HD video. After capturing a 40 minute clip, the audio and video are out of sync. Seems like there is about a 3 second difference. The entire clip is like that in the source window; I made a couple of quick edits and have the same problem in the program window. Tried exiting and re-opening PP, but that didn't help. I'm running PP in CS6 on an iMac 3.4 GHz i7 with 8G of ram. Thanks!

I have NOT used it, but many say to try this for HDV capture http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm

Audio out of sync in premiere pro cs6 after capturing

Hi, some of my footages are out of audio sync after capturing.
I have an imac with 3.4 Ghz intel i7 processor, 16gig ram, ssd card ( august 2012)
I have a sony hvr-z1 with tape.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Good morning Lynn,
I doubt this will help, but whenever I have issues importing tapes, I try
something else. I double check the software's manual because
sometimes, even if I have done the same thing several times, I add
or miss something. If that does not work I close the program and restart
the computer and camcorder and try again ... with a different tape. If
that doesn't work I use a different program. I use an old HP workstation
I paid $99 for on Ebay that's running XP and I capture with Scenalyzer.
Then I copy file to a USB drive and input to Premiere. Sorry, I figure the
problem is me, not the hardware or software and it usually is me because
when the next project comes along PP usally imports fine.

Stalling:Error in background rendering so switching to foreground rendering after 0 frames completed

Our facility is running AE CS6 ver 11.0.0.378 on 8 core Mac Pros with 32 Gb ram running OSX10.6.8
using Thinkbox Deadline 5.2 for distributed rendering to other 8 Core Mac Pros with 32 Gb ram.
The issue is that we are in crunch mode trying to deliver 4K comps (soon to be 8k comps) and we are experience substantial
delays 10-20 minutes after the AERENDER starts, but before it starts doing any fruitful rendering.
We are reading from and writing to Quicktime movie files (which normally works just fine for us) and thus the entire frame range needs
to get computed on a single host.
The symptom is that many comp jobs (but not all) stall for a while with no apparent actibity before spitting this messgage, but then happily
and swiftly complete each frame in a second or less with no errors:
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS:   There is an error in background rendering so switching to foreground rendering after 0 frames completed out of total 576 frames.
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00001 (1): 20 Min, 16 Sec
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00002 (2): 1 Seconds
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00003 (3): 0 Seconds
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00004 (4): 1 Seconds
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00005 (5): 2 Seconds
0: STDOUT: PROGRESS: 00006 (6): 1 Seconds
Given that the delay, seems to be related to the number of frames (350 frames creates a 10 min stall and 576 frames creates a 20 minute stall), it seems like it's trying to do something for every frame in background mode, before it gives up and does them quickly
in foreground mode. During this time, there doesn't seem to be any signficant CPU or Network or IO activity. I looked for command line args that might force AERENDER to foreground mode, but didn't find anything.
Here's what the digested submission args look like.

We're under the gun to get this production delivered, and these delays are killing us. I worry when we switch to 8K comps
that the "fruitless delay time" will just get longer.
I'm currently trying to correlate the plug-in assortments in effect for the shots that exhibit this behaviour. Clearly in "foreground mode" the machines are capable of rendering the shot quickly.   We've speculated, that posibly some plugins may be GPU or OpenGL accelerated (these machines have ATI Radeon HD 5770 cards) despite the fact that AERENDER probably doesn't require special graphics cards).
Anyone have any ideas, especially if there is some way for force the foreground mode from the start?
Regards,
Jay Production IT Support.

Just to follow up, Our compositing supervisor was still convinced that running with MP was the way to go, so I worked
with him to run some benchmarks on medium and heavy shots that we determinied would trigger the issue in -MP mode.
The test scene was about 50 frames in length, and we ran it on the same hosts with -MP on and -MP off, and also ran a
version of bundled frames (10 frames per host/task) and another where we did all 50 frames on a single host (with and without MP).
Interestingly, in every scenerio of these 4 cases, the version with -MP on, was 2-15% faster (despite the 10-11 minute delay at the start in MP mode).
His conclusion was it's still faster with -MP mode ON, and requested that I continue to explore for patches or theories how we might get around the delay.

Audio is out of sync after capture.

I'm attempting an firewire capture from a DV source. When I'm logging clips and previewing them, the sound is fine, but when I view them after capture the audio is out of sync. I think I'm having timecode issues, is there any way around this?

I tried watching them in the timeline and viewer, all out of sync. No external monitor. I did get a message once about dropped frames and something else, it said I might have these issues, but it didn't tell me to change settings, just told me it was gonna happen, lol. So, I don't know where to start to fix it.

Audio dropping after capture

I seem to be having a problem with audio dropping out after capturing. When I play the tape back in the camera the audio plays fine so I guess it was recoreded properly on the tape but when I play the captured footage back in FCP the audio drops out here and there. I am capturing from the camera which the footage was shot on (XL2). I've searched the forms for people with the same issue but can't find anything. Anyone have any ideas?

Just to check - are you using FCP4.5 and have recently upgraded to OSX4.9? Because if so that could be the issue; it was for me for something very similar. In which case your options are to upgrade FCP or downgrade OSX.
The other thing you could try - regardless of your system and version - is to capture using Vidi - http://www.mitzpettel.com/software/vidi.php (I only just recommended this to someone, I am not on commission honestly, it's free!)
I have found that Vidi will sometimes ignore timecode glitches etc that FCP is annoyingly sensitive to.

AUDIO LOST AFTER CAPTURE

Hi all. I am capturing from a panasonic gs 400 which indicates 16 bit audio captured ok. Tape plays back fine in camera with full audio. I have checked my settings on fce and they seem fine, pal 16 bit audio.
When I start to capture the audio registers ok in the right hand audio meter. After I capture and play the clip in the viewer/timeline there is no audio at all. Running short of ideas to fix it, any clues?
Many Thanks
Mick

Hi Ian, thanks for taking the time to reply.
I am using FCE 2.0.3
I have captured video and audio before without any problems.
The audio file appears in the timeline but there is nothing in it, the visuals are fine.
It plays fine in the viewer and registers on the meter but there is no audio after capture.
I do not seem to have the View menu>Video out etc, my system just shows view> video>reatime or firewire.
Thanks Mick

Poor Quality after Capturing the 1080i Source

I use the camera that the model is Sony HDR-HC3.
When i capture the 1080i source recorded by above model,
the source in Final Cut Express HD is very poor.
The image will break in several shadow when the shot is presenting
movement, as like pan left/right, tilt up/down etc.
When I export the movie used the H.264, it's much more poor.
What's wrong is happened?
Thank you for reply.
p.s.May i post the screen picture that Final Cut Express HD presenting
after capture?

Melfice,
I had the same problem. I tried different FW & HD settings and still got poor quality. Then I tried an HD tape and got the same results. So, I took my Sony back and traded for Canon's new HD (HV10), and found the quality to be MUCH better. I don't know why and would rely on someone with bigger brains for that answer.

Premiere Freezes After Capture

After capturing footage on an HDV miniDV from my camera the screen pretty much goes white. It's right after the "Save Captured Clip" box comes up and I name the clip. It seems to have a problem closing the capture window and loading the new clip into the project box.
Also, after capture and after clicking OK in the "Save Captured Clip" box a window pops up telling me there was a problem with video playback. But since I was able to hit cancel after the first time it pops up after capturing and continue on to the "Save Captured Clip" box, I figured it wasn't too big of a deal that I not be able to see the footage in the capture screen.
A completely usable clip is successfully saved to my scratch that I can edit. But I don't want this happening every time I want to capture.
My Workflow:
Turn my computer on.
Connect my camcorder through firewire.
Turn camcorder to VCR mode.
Open Premiere.
Open or start a project.
Open the capture window.
Click the record button.
Click the stop button. (a window comes up telling me there was a problem with video playback but it keeps going anyway)
The "Save Captured Clip" box comes up and I name it and click OK (the window telling me there was a problem with video playback comes up again)
Thanks!

Out of sync directly after capture

Hi
Though New to FinalCut I'm trying to learn. I've got stuck with a situation
I can't handle:
After capturing material. Recorded in SP-mode and 16-bit sound. When
double clicking on audio to get the wave form in Canvas window I get a
significand miss match of Left / Right sound track.
Is there anything I can do to prevent this.
There are no echo/sync problem when same material is imported to iMovie !
used environment: dG5 2GHz, OS X.4.6, QT 7.1 and FCE 3.5
Yours most confused Bengt W

Hi and thanx for Your thoughts.
No just plain DV-PAL and Camera is on 16-bit.
Intermediat solution was to:
- start a new FCE project
- Capture sequence
- open main project
- drag and drop sequence into this one
Worked but rather confusing.
I think Capture to be THE most basic function in an editing program
henche it would be the last function to go bananas.
I was also recommended to delete pref - FCE.plist file. Will do that.
Yours Bengt W

Glitch-y footage has more glitches after capture. HDV. Of course.

I've been all over here & can't find an answer . . . switched a trashed JVC deck for a JVC Gy-HD100, which I've used succesfully with my spankin' new FCP 5.1.2 update to capture HDV 720p24. There are some digital blips/dropout in the raw footage, which you can see in the LCD screen on the camera, but there is considerably more when I playback in FCP. I used the 720p24 Easy Setup and the clip info looks good. Any idea why I've got more digital crap after capture? It's all kinds, too: lines, warping, pixels, ect, every few secs or so. I even made a dvd of a clip just to check, and it outputs crappy as well. Did I do something wrong? Any advice?
hdv i hate you so.

My first instinct would be to clean the heads as well.
I don't have much experience with HDV, but I do know dropouts tend to be even more problematic with the GOP (I believe its 15 frame GOP, which would mean half second dropouts). I'm wondering if perhaps whatever compression/decompression FCP uses to playback HDV is just going to make issues like that worse. Just a guess, I could be wrong.

Zero timecode after capture

I'm having issues with sporadic zeroing out of timecode after capture. I have two identical systems running FCP 5.1.2 and capturing with AJA Kona 3 cards running version 3.2. All of the capture presets are identical.
The process that I've been using on both systems have been as follows:
Creating a new project
Importing an XML into the project
Batch capture from the Kona card as 1080psf 23.98 DVCPro HD
The odd thing is that one system (only one of the two) sporadically zeros out the preset captured timecode for the entire XML, thusly changing a logged clip that was set to start at 13:21:14:05 and forcing it to start at 00:00:00:00. The duration of the clip remains a constant. A usual fix for this is making the captured clips offline, trashing the FCP preferences, restarting FCP and rebatching. That usually fixes it for a few days, but inevitably returns to the same old problem. I've also tried reinstalling FCP, but that hasn’t resolved it. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

So, is there a way to get FCP to display Zero-Based
timecode for an individual clip? Or to get After
Effects to read the timecode embedded with the clip?
No and no.
Have you looked at this?
