Scene Detect in HDV?

I can't believe that scene detect doesn't work in HDV - how is this even remotely possible? iMovieHD has this and its a free app that comes with the computer!
Is there any chance that Adobe is going to include this in an update?

Actually Howard, it matters quite a bit. I could not work without Scene Detect. David is correct that it is quite surprising.
The simple solution is to use a free program "HDVSplit". A better solution is to purchase Aspect HD and use the included HDLink to Scene detect for you.
Using Scene Detect eliminates much of the audio slippage caused by broken GOPs.

  • FCE4 - does it have scene detection for HDV?

    This is an important feature for me and its not easy to find!
    Thanks

    According to the FCE4 manual:
    "If you are using a DV format, you may be able to create subclips automatically from
    start/stop metadata that is embedded in video frames each time you stop and start the
    camcorder. "
    That doesn't sound too good for HDV or AVCHD.

  • HDV Scene Detect

    It's already v4.0.1 and still, no scene detect for HDV.
    Adobe, wake up and smell the competition....

    The
    PPro Help is clearly labelled as CS4.

  • Scene detect

    CS3 does all I want exept scene detect with HD Video. I have painfully downloaded the trialversion to find that out, but I can only do DV on it but no HD is permitted. Can anyone tell me if CS4 supports scene detect on HDV and on AVCHD. That would be my only motivation to get CS4.

    Thanks Harm that solves my problem, no need for CS4. For HDV I use a Sony HDR-FX7 and I have to carry on scene detect myself.
    To Jim at the moment I don't have a AVCHD camcorder I was going to get one, I did not know that this problem is not applicable to AVCHD. For AVCHD I am looking at a Canon HF-11 at least that was it is called in SA. Thank you for that information.

  • Scene Detect Error in HDV

    I am using sony HC9 HDV and Premiere CS3.
    when I capture the tape in HDV, the funtion of Scene Detect can not be used.
    it can only be used in down convert mode.
    i have tried 2 computers and 3 different capture cards.
    is there anyone facing the same problem?
    can anyone help me please?

    Alas no scene detection in Premiere, use HDVSplit.

  • Once more: hdv -- scene detection

    Hello,
    what is the reason that premiere cs4 is not be able to detect scenes in HDV material?
    Why "we" have to use HDVSplit?
    Carlos

    Ask Adobe. They are always last to introduce such basic functionality that is readily available in freeware/shareware for ages. Look at DV. Scenalyzer offered scene detection for more than two years before Adobe finally caught up and still does not compare favourably to Scenalyzer that offers a lot more. Adobe probably needs to progress to CS7, meanwhile stealing our $$ for each and every upgrade and still not delivering on time.
    IMO there is nothing wrong with HDVSplit. It works reliably and does what we expect it to do. If you don't like this answer, contact Adobe, maybe they can get their stuff together before 2015. (ETA CS5: 2011, CS6: 2013, CS7:2015)

  • No Scene Detect option in HDV project only SD

    When capturing my HD footages, I've noticed that the scene detect option is grayed out but when I downconvert the HD footage and capture into a SD project, the option then becomes avail.
    Does this feature only work in SD projects?

    If you use HDVSplit, a free program, you will have scene detect.
    Personally, I prefer using Cineform Aspect HD for other reasons besides the fact it has scene detect, but it is only fair to mention HDVSplit.

  • Scene Detect not functioning in Premiere Pro CS6

    Hello all,
    Having an issue with Scene Detect not recognizing individual scenes when I Capture HDV footage from my Canon XH series cameras. Tapes just come in as one long file rather than individual scenes. I am using CS6 on my MAC computers (OS 10.7.5 and 10.6.8).
    This is baffling as I've captured many tapes from many weddings and have never experienced this problem to this point.
    I did reset my cameras to default settings recently but can't seem to find anything that would indicate that causing the issue. However, it is the only change I have made unless a recent Adobe or OS update could have caused the issue?
    Your help and knowledge are greatly appreciated!

    Problem solved.
    For anyone seeking a possible solution to this simple but incredibly aggravating issue: Make sure your camera's date and time fields are set. Premiere Pro's "Scene Detect" function uses your cameras time signature to differentiate scenes in your captured footage. No time code = no individual scene detection.  
    When I reset my camera to default settings I erased my time and date fields. I wasn't too worried about it as I typically use these cameras for their HD SDI capability with timecode captured via Tricaster, however this became a frustrating problem when I used the cameras for a recent wedding capture and I now have four long files rather than the intended multiple scenes I need for editing...
    Hope this simple discovery makes someone's day a little easier...

  • Premiere Pro CS4: Timecode issues (Scene Detect, Free Run)

    Hi folks,
    I am most familiar with Premiere Pro CS3. In the past, I have created multi-camera sequences that are synchronised by timecode. I have been shooting using the Free Run timecode feature across all cameras, as to maintain a sync'd timecode.
    Now that I am using Premiere Pro CS4 at work, I am running into a few issues in preserving my timecode values during capture. I have recorded HDV footage using two Sony Z7's. I downconvert the HDV footage into DV upon capturing - this is so that I can use the scene-detect feature, and still supposedly preserve the timecode for each media file. I captured all of the tapes using scene-detect, and the timecode values were correct for each media file captured.
    Having saved, closed, and reopened my Premiere Project the next day, the timecode values for the majority of the media files have been reset (ie, they all start at "0:00:00:00". This is very odd! Only a few of the media files have retained their correct timecode values.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Could they please shed some light on this problem or quirk? Am I taking the wrong approach in capturing/organising media? I am following the same procedure as I had done in PPro CS3.
    I have since deleted the Media Cache/Preview Files, requiring Premiere to re-index, and re-conform the media files. The timecode values are still incorrect. When I select all of my media files and tell them to go 'offline', the correct timecode values re-appear.
    Many thanks for your help,
    Andrew

    Does anyone have an answer to this problem?? I think I am having the same problem. I don't have as much experience as the others on the
    forum, but basically what I tried to do was filming a multi-camera event in free run timecode, then
    captured in HDV split, and assumed I could get Premiere to align the clips accordingly. Anyone have any idea how to do this????
    Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Aaron

  • My scene detect in Premiere cs3 on WIN 7, 64 bit is ghosted and can't turn on

    I have my premiere cs3 on two computers one with xp pro and the other with win 7 64bit and I can't activate my scene detect on either operating system, I read manual and did some on line searches but it assumes in the tutorials it is already active. Am I doing something stupid or is there a way to turn it on
    Joan

    Yeah, sorry I should have been more specific.  There is no way in Premiere to split it, which still amazes me.  HDV split works great though.  I just noticed the name of the OP, you would think that they would know that....

  • Scene Detect not enabled

    I have a Canon XH A1 that I hook up to my PC using firewire. No problem really capturing foot off of the miniDV tape. However , I'm not able to use the scene detect aspect since it is not enabled.
    I'm attempting this for HDV 1080/30f footage
    Thanks.

    > So much for "HDV support" Huh :)
    PPro CS3 and Cineform Aspect HD is a winning combination.

  • Scene Detection on Capture?

    Primere Pro has an option when capturing "scene detection", makes capturing individual clips easy and fast. I would think there's a similar feature in FCP 5.1?

    Start/Stop detect does not, on its own, make individual clips. You use it in a process to make 'sub-clips'. Sub-clips are pointers to the main clip, they are not individually editable files.
    If you are shooting HDV, FCP5 can create new clips on GOP frame breaks which is the same thing as scene detection.
    If you are shooting DV, you need a 3rd party app (for example CatDV + Live Capture Plus) to create individual clips from long captures.
    good luck.

  • Clarification on Scene Detect?

    I can't find any clarification on what all connections enable Scene Detect to work.  Is it only via Firewire (IEEE 1394) with the HDV/DV formats, or will it work through SDI/HD-SDI?  In my particular case, I'd like to connect my Sony DSR-1500A DVCAM deck via its add-on SDI board to the HD-SDI input on a Blackmagic Design DeckLink Studio card.  (We don't have that SDI board for the Sony decks yet; right now we're using analog component connections because the Blackmagic card, when installed, disables the use of the computer's built-in Firewire for capture/output.  Obviously there is no Scene Detect with analog connections.)  Computer platform is Windows 7 64-bit Edition.  Blackmagic Design had no definitive answer for me, and said for me to contact Adobe.

    Harm,
    Thank you.  My reasons for wanting to go with SDI are not really related to a quality increase (or perceived quality increase); it's more from a practical connection standpoint.  Since Firewire/IEEE-1394 is not supported by the BM card, and the analog component connection takes away video monitoring capability on the Sony DSR-1500A deck -- there are exactly 3 BNC connections for output, configured in the menu for either component, Y/C, or composite, but not simultaneously -- the only remaining option is SDI, which is widely regarded as the professional way to connect digital components anyway.

    If the deck outputs the date/timestamp over SDI, it may be possible to use scenedetection if BM supports that, but chances are that since it is already on tape and compression has already taken place, there is no benefit at all from using SDI. You are maybe better off with regular capturing, since the signal has been compressed and nothing will get that back to better quality. SDI is great for live recording, but once recorded on tape, you are out of luck.

  • Scene Detect error (PrePro CS5)

    I captured video into a PrePro CS5 project from one HDV camera (Canon HV40) without any problems and used Scene Detect.  I am trying to capture video from a second camera (Canon XHA1s) the recorded with the same settings as the first cam:  1440 x 1080 / 29.97. But when I choose Scene Detect, I get the following message: Record Error  Date/Time recorded not found on tape and is required for scene detection.

    Thanks David for your reply to my post.
    It turns out I forgot to plug the IEEE-1394 cable into the camera

  • Scene Detect 8 + 15 extra frames on every captured clip

    When capturing HDV in CS5, using Scene Detect creates extra frames.
    Imagine clip #1 when it captures its footage, instead of stopping at the end of the clip, it continues for another 15 frames into Clip #2 and tacks this on to the end of Clip #1.
    It then starts to capture Clip #2 but first it rolls back (this is done by Scene Detect electronically. The tape does not actually roll back) into Clip #1 and starts the capture 8 frames back into Clip #1 before it continues capturing the footage and proceeds to repeat the 15 extra frames capture from Clip #3. Everything is repeated throught Clip #3, Clip #4, etc. until the end of the tape.
    These things did not happen in CS3. This is a CS5 problem.
    Essentially each clip starts with 8 frames of the previous clip and ends with 15 frames of the next clip. The extra frames contain both video and audio in perfect sync.
    When capturing, I am making no adjustments on the frames control which is what the Adobe Service suspected. I ran a capture with them on line demonstrating the problem.
    Although I can still edit with this footage, using scene detect, with 280 clips per hour tape, it is not pleasant removing 8 frames from the front and 15 frames from the back of each of the 280 clips.
    Is there a solution to this problem or perhaps a quick-automatic way of removing the frames from each of the 280 clips?
