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.

  • IMovie Scene detection when capturing and hot keys

    Two questions please (this is on a new imac) :
    1) I have scene detection turned on for capturing (using a XL2), but it doesn't seem to stop and split up the scenes.
    Does the scene detection only work when the time-code is broken - ie;
    when the machine is powered off and on? Does it detect when it is paused?
    2) Is there a list of hot keys for editing like the RAZOR tool etc?
    Thanks in advance,

    Scene detection normally works, so there must be something going on with you old camera.
    I have a bunch of old analog 8MM tapes that I imported through a DV 8MM Digital camera. These all came in as 1 long clip.
    It is true you can delete a frame and then use iMovie to split the events. However, I have found a much quicker way that is non-destructive and allows you to enter the date metadata.
    1) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. You can google it.
    2) Drag your long clip into MPEG Streamclip. (If you don't know where it is, Right-click on the clip in the imovie event and select "Reveal in FInder".
    3) Think if dividing your long clip into Events (everything you shot on a single day, for example) - and Scenes (clips) - an individual unit of footage within the Event.
    4) Move the MPEG Streamclip playhead to the beginning of the 1st scene and press I for in point. Movie the Playhead to the last frame of the scene and press O for out point.
    5) Now, FILE/EXPORT TO DV. Save it to a location you can easily find, like a folder on your desktop. Give it name in the following format: clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.dv This will preserve the time metadata for later when you are editing. You may want to have your camera handy so you can easily see this data.
    6) Repeat this process until you have all clips done. You should find that the playhead is still at the out point. You can simply type I and you have set the in point for a totally nondestructive capture of the next clip.
    7) Finally, open iMovie and use FILE/IMPORT/MOVIES... and navigate to the place where you saved all these clips. iMovie will import and sort into Events (you may have to check "split days into new events". Let it generate thumbnails and you are done.

  • Scene Detect when capturing

    I am brand new to final cut and when i capture i want to capture a whole mini dv tape from the beggining and have final cut just detect the scenes and make seperate files for them. is this possible and if so how do i do it. if its not in final cut is there an app that will for me

    Search for "DV Start/Stop Detection" in the Final Cut Pro User Manual which can be found in the Help menu inside Final Cut.
    If you search for "DV Start/Stop Detection" on Google, you also get a few pages about it (e.g. this tutorial)
    Good luck!

  • Scene Detection during capture

    I will try to keep this simple. Here's some background on what I am trying to accomplish. I shoot sporting events for recruitment videos. During the games I start and stop recording on each play. So at the end of the day I end up with 100+ clips for each game/match. During capture I need my software to be able to detect each scene which saves me valuable time in post. I can quickly scrub each clip and decide what to dump. I shoot in HD(HDV) because the resolution allows me to do much more during post.
    Premiere Pro does not detect HD(HDV) scenes as every other NLE I have seen does. So my first question is why not? I hate having to use multiple NLEs/programs when the Adobe Suite of programs should do the job.
    Without getting into why, I currently capture on a Macbook because iMovie and/or Finalcut will detect scenes. Then I use my Mac OS copy of Premiere Pro (CS3) to edit since it does allow me to import .mov files BUT I have CS4 Production Premium on a much more powerful PC which I would love to use BUT I cannot import the .mov files I have captured on my Macbook to PP CS4 on the PC ... I get a codec missing or unavailable message. Which I don't understand when Adobe publishes .mov files as being supported under the windows version. I contacted Adobe Support and was told the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) is not supported. How can that be? Isn't that Apples standard Codec? Sorry for the long winded post but there has to be a workaround or something simple I am missing. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Ok I have confirmed that setting the capture codec to ProRes422 when capturing via Finalcut Pro 6 on my Macbook Pro will allow me to import the same clips to Premiere Pro CS4 on my windows vista PC. Thanks again Colin!
    Why? Because I use my Macbook Pro on location. I film sporting events which I have found works best in post if I start/stop recording after each play. I end up with 100 or so clips. I am making highlight videos so it is easier to scrub through small clips to determine what I am going to use than it is to scrub through the same 2 hour footage to tag in/out points. To get the clips I need a capture program that can detect scenes. Finalcut does this automatically during capture. I prefer to do all of my post in Premiere Pro but it will not detect scenes with HD/HDV footage. Finally when I get the footage home I have a much more powerful PC to edit and render out and being able to just transfer my .mov clips from the MacBook to the PC for import to PP is awesome.

  • Who Wanted Scene-Detection On Captured Footage With No Timecode?

    Did I dream this ?
    I am sure that recently somebody had captured some video without timecode and wanted to know whether FCE could split it automatically into separate scenes.
    My only suggestion was to split it manually which would take ages.
    Last night I was looking at Tom's "FCE 4 Editing Workshop" and came across a slightly quicker and less laborious suggestion than mine.
    Basically load the clip into the Viewer, play it and each time there is a change of scene hit the "M" key which will insert a marker.
    At the end, the clip in the browser will be split into segments just as though "DV Start/Stop Detect" had been used.
    Then simply select all the segments and press cmd U which will convert all the segments to subclips.
    This morning I eagerly searched through the old questions to see if it had been answered and if not, to offer my/Tom's answer.
    Of course I could not find any trace of the question !
    Did I dream it ?
    If you are that person (or know the thread) could you please put me out of my misery!

    Hello Ian,
    You are in luck tonight/whenever it is in your part of the word:

  • Capturing High Definition, Scene Detection

    I've captured some High Definition material and found FCE separates it into clips divided at the point the camera was stopped and started when the original recording was made. This left me with some 250 clips from a 36 minute recording.
    This is described as a 'feature' of capturing High Definition recordings in my instruction book. It does not seem to be a feature that can be turned off. Is that the case ?
    One way to deal with this seems to be to highlight all the clips and then drag them on to the time line.
    Paul Bishop

    My style of shooting owes much to making Wedding Videos back in 1985 on VHS. At that time it was either VHS or very expensive professional formats which were not economic. VHS looks appalling if edited on a linear system (all that was available then) so the Video I shot on the day was the video the couple got. I've been using linear and then non-linear systems since 1991 and having now got into Final Cut I am gradually changing style.
    I take it I cannot switch off scene detection if capturing High Definition video ?

  • Capture with Scene Detect: Clip Name Keeps Changing

    I am editing weddings and my raw footage is usually on 3 tapes. I capture with Scene Detect checked and I name the clip "Clip", so Premiere labels each clip as Clip 01, Clip 02, Clip 03, etc. But when I put in my 2nd tape, Premiere starts labelling them Clip 01 1, Clip 02 1, Clip 03 1, etc. How can I get Premiere to continue from the last number of the previous tape, (the same way that Scenalyzer does automatically)?

    How can I get Premiere to continue from the last number of the previous tape
    You can't.  Once you stop capture, PP will always restart the numbering, even if it's from the same tape.
    What I do is use Bridge to Batch Rename the clips.

  • Premiere Elements 4.0 - cannot set DV capture Scene Detect

    New install / Premiere Elements 4.0 (Panasonic DV, firewire connection)
    Premiere Elements 4.0 - cannot set DV capture Scene Detect
    HELP Says: "select or deselect Scene Detect By Timecode or Scene Detect By Content in the Capture panel menu"
    DV Capture panel menu does not provide this option; instead a popup appears "DV Capture Preview Settings"
    trying to capture as single AVI file, no scene detect
    thanks, GARRY

    When you open Premiere Elements 4 and the Welcome Screen appears, click on "Capture Video". The Capture Window will appears. Look up to the top right of that Window (those tiny black arrows next to the X/close).
    Clicking on those tiny black arrows results in a drop down list which should include the options:
    Scene Detect by Timecode
    Scene Detect by Content
    I suspect that you are clicking on that camcorder icon just below those tiny black arrow.
    If I am wrong, please let us know.

  • Scene Detect on a clip after it's been captured?

    I've got a clip with multiple interviews on it. I'd like to cut it up into the individual interviews (which all have a fixed camera). I know it can do this when you're capturing a tape, but is there a way to have Premiere autodetect where the cuts were and split up the footage automatically for a clip that's already in your project?

  • 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?

  • Scene Detection On Previously Captured Clip?

    Is it possible to split an already captured clip into scenes (much how scene detection works during capture) on a sequence timeline?

    For DV, check out DVdate; you can split a DV file both by time-of-day timecode and optically. It will bust the scenes out into individual AVI files--I'm assuming you're using a Windows machine, here.
    For HDV, check out HDVSplit. I haven't split an HDV stream after-the-fact, but that capability is supposedly available in HDVSplit.
    Both programs are free.

  • Scene Detect on HD Capture

    Is there a way to turn the scnene detect off on Final Cut Express HD??

    I just bought Final Cut Express HD but I am familiar with Final cut Pro. When I capture video in HDV with the express progam it automatically makes a new clip everytime the scene changes or the time code breaks, they call it scene detect. SO I want to turn that feature off so that I have longer clips to work with instead of 30 short clips.

  • 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...

  • Scene Detection Broken in CS6?

    I'm having awful difficulty capturing video in CS6. Specifically, every 60 seconds or so CS6 keeps prompting me to save the scene it thinks it's captured, even though scene detection is *not* checked (it is off) and abort on dropped frames is also off.
    I'd be happy to just have it capture the tape as a single scene, but it refuses to cooperate.
    I am unable to disable scene detect, it seems.
    The only other reports I was able to find relate to CS5 and the suggestions there do not seem to make any difference.
    Re: Possible Work Around for Capture and Scene Detect
    Anyone else seen this problem?
    Setup:
    Mac OS X 10.10.2
    Canon GL2 (mini DV; firewire)
    Premiere Pro CS6

    I ended up enabling scene detect and babysitting this particular tape. That was extremely painful and not what I expected from a professional product like Premiere.
    As a side note, it seems like scene detect works and that this is perhaps a problem with a separate mechanism that tries to detect the end of tape or something.

  • 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
