SD DV footage upsampled to 1080

Shoot me if this seems trivial and non productive but I like to practice the different procedures to future projects. My goal was to make an HD DVD using FCP, Compressor and DVDSP. My home DVD player supposedly can play up to 1080i footage.
I wanted to try iterations of video footage in DVD Studio Pro and see if/how it handles the output files, size, etc. No was not concerned with quality of video from DV footage and how it does NOT improve it by upsampling; I know that. I dont have HD or 1080i/p footage to use and thought upsampling would have to do.
I tried making a project in DVDSP using the HD pref settings and used Compressor to output various HD video files. Used the presets that came with Compressor. Burnt it to (eventually) several different brands of DVDRW discs, as the first disk was not recognized by the home player.
Is HD DVD only playable from BluRay or something, or takes a different file folder structure than DVDSP is able to build? Or does using a RW disk negate playback, even though SD footage can be previewed from the same disk?
A different home player also wouldnt recognize the disk, in spite of being 'complete erased' by the Finder each time after having successfully previewed the DV footage in SD format using an SD DVDSP project.
Obviously, too much time on my hands.

HD DVD can be semi made in DVD SP, blu ray no.
SD DVD Players cannot play HD/blu-ray discs (some SD players upsample but are not HD/blu ray players) which is why your HD project is not playing back on the SD player

To convert DV to 1080i/p, converting the clips in Compressor with preset conversions seem to be the best way.

  • Stabilizing UHD footage on a 1080 timeline.

    Has anyone yet come up with a clever workaround to stabilize UHD footage on a 1080 timeline without losing resolution if the warp plugin is scaling up the nested footage in Premiere pro cc?
    /Per

    Now I've finally figured it out. I went to bed and woke up with the solution in my head. :-)
    I drop my 4k footage on my 1080 timeline and trims it to the desired length. Then I right-click on the footage, and press "Make subclip". Then I will make a new sequence from that subclip by dragging it to the "New Item" icon. This creates a 4k timeline with my trimmed clip. I will then apply the Warp stabilizer and let it do it's thing. When it is done I'll go to the effects controls and choose "Stabilize Only" under borders/framing. That leaves me with a 4k clip that is NOT scaled up, and therefor the very same resolution as when shot. I now simply drag that 4k subclip into my 1080 timeline, and scale it down to what I want, and of cause to a point where it fills the frame at all times

  • Any body know why FCPX doesn't support footage recorded in 1080-60P form Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder?, Any body know why FCPX doesn't support footage recorded in 1080-60P form Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder?

    Anybody know why FCPX  doesn't support footage recorded in 1080-60p form Panasonic Camcorder HDC-TM900???

    I'm trying to decide on a new camcorder between the new yet to be released Panasonic HD-X900M and the Canon VIXIA HF G10.  Currently have a Canon HV 20 which works great, but thought I'd upgrade to newer tech.  Looking at the supported cameras list published by Apple, the newer Panasonic hasn't been tested yet so am unsure if it is the same as the previous model.  I suspect it is.  The newer Canon appears to be good, but spec. say it is only good up to 1080I.  I'd rather have the progressive camera if it isn't that much of a hassle to convert the files.
    Thanks for alll your info on this subject.

  • Scaling behaving very strangely with 4K footage in a 1080 sequence

    I have brought some 4K footage (4096 x 2160, ProRes 4444) into a new project and placed it in a new 1920 x 1080 sequence. "Default scale to frame size" is unchecked. I elect to "Keep existing settings". As expected, footage comes in a 100% so I'm just seeing the center of the frame. Playback is normal. As I scale down, I can see more of the frame - great.
    When I scale below 50% however, things get weird. As I'm scaling down (by dragging the mouse) and cross below 50%, the image in the Program window suddenly jumps back to what appears to be 100% and continues scaling down from there. When I let go of the mouse, it jumps back to what appears to be the correct scale. But things get weirder when I press play. The image in the window doubles in size. I have created a video to show you what I'm seeing.
    • My Zoom Level is 100%
    • This happens regardless of whether or not I use "Default scale to frame size".
    • This happens regardless of what Playback Resolution or Paused Resolution I use.
    • This happens whether or not I have Program on a second display.
    • This happens no matter what I've tried to do differently so far.
    Please advise. Thanks

  • 4k Footage in a 1080 sequence

    Hello together,
    I'm having a new problem in my 1080 sequence. I edited some 4-k-footage in in and scaled it to 50 percent to keep the original framing. When I click on that part in the timeline it looks fine. But when I playback it seems to ignore to resize effect and plays back the zoomed in framing.
    I am sure that this is only a small problem, but since I'm new to Premiere, I can't seen to find a solution.

  • Will Premiere Pro CS5.5 resolve the problem of editing Panasonic 1080/60p footage?

    According to Adobe....the following is a CS5.5 feature:
    Native AVCHD support
    Import and natively edit AVCHD content from Sony, Panasonic, and Canon cameras without transcoding or rewrapping the content. Use the Media Browser to browse clips and view metadata — including metadata from Panasonic AVCCAM cameras.
    However, does this mean we can natively edit footage shot at 1080/60p on the Panasonic (TM-700, TM-900) or are we still stuck with needing to "unwrap" this footage because of Panasonic's proprietary compression system on the 60p footage?
    I'd love to buy one of those camcorders but if its going to be a pain to edit in Premiere Pro...then maybe I'll wait or get some other brand that doesnt require all this hassle.
    Can anyone provide some feedback?  Adobe?

    Thanks. I will do that to create the sequence in Premiere.
    As for burning 720p60 on Blu-Ray, it seems a shame to start with 1920x1080 clips and end up with only 1280x720 on the screen.
    But you are probably right to avoid interlaced material.
    But will a disk burned at 1080/60i really be interlaced since both fields will have been recorded at the same instant of time when using 1080p60 clips to start with? Especially with recent 240 Hz TV using some form of frame interpolation.
    I guess one can but try and judge with his eyes.

  • 1080 footage in 720 sequence?

    I've shot footage at 1080/30p and transcoded it using pro res, and i'm editing the resulting clips with 720 video (basically Youtube HD) and would like the clips to look good together. Should I just use a 720 sequence? What exactly happens to 1080 ProRes footage when dropped into a 720 timeline? Do I need to do any conversions before I edit?
    Or, should I make the sequence 1080 and render out 720?
    Input greatly appreciated!
    Chris

    I wish there were an easier way to explain this but there are many different approaches to the task and they complicates the matter.
    To avoid red bars and rendering in the timeline, you must use clips that have already been converted to your timeline's base settings and codec.
    To help you make a decision on how you approach the challenge, you might start with a look backwards from your output. If your output is 720, you could downconvert your 1080 and lose much less than upscaling your 720 to 1080 and then transcoding yet again.
    You can create an output sequence designed to convert. Drop your clips into it one at a time, scale and position, then export to the new format. Name these movies carefully, reimport them.
    You could batch process them all in a single Compressor run and Qmaster might help you speed up the process. (Umm, that's another forum and another set of issues.)
    You could reload your tapes and transcode in realtime while you are capturing.
    But you've got to decide how muchh work you want to do and what the benefits are in chosing any flow over another. For instance, if you are going to use your 720 footage in more 1080 projects, you want to invest in the upscale and use all manner of filtration and image controls so the footage is as beautiful as it can be. If you're not planning on using your 720 in any future 1080 projects, you can discard the upscaled footage as soon as you're done. that seems a bit wasteful.

  • Matrox $450 hardware for upscaling sd footage / hdmi in and out is usable?

    I have a lot of Sd footage (DV 720x576) footage as I used to work with professional film 10 years ago or so. I would love to be able to upscale the footage to HD (1080) in a good way both quality wise and not to spend huge amounts of money on extra hardware. It seems Matrox came about reccently with some good hardware to do this. Does anyone have any personal experience with this product or any advice?
    It is the: "Matrox Mx02 Mini":
    http://www.matrox.com/video/media/pdf/products/mxo2mini/en_Matrox_MXO2Mini.pdf

    The camera uses the Apple HDV codec. It looks good, and plays black well in Final Cut. It offers a pretty good variety of recording options 720, 1080, 30p, 60p, etc.
    The XDCAM recording, however, has not been as trouble free. I recorded some footage using the XDCAM mode, and I could not get it to play back in an editing system using Adobe Premiere CS3. We tried everything and nothing seemed to work. Then we got our hands on a Sony EX1 and had no problems bringing in the footage and it looked great.
    I think part of the issue was that the JVC camera uses some type of wrapper to emulate the XDCAM footage, and is not true XDCAM.
    The other thing that annoyed me about the whole "XDCAM" on the JVC is that I was told the only way to record in the XDCAM format was to buy a $500 SxS adapter. Then we could record on either the SxS card OR the SD card. Now just a couple months later, JVC comes out and says that they have a firmware update that eliminates the need for the SxS adapter! That did not make me happy! I am hoping that JVC will make things right by allowing me to return the adapter, or at least provide some type of credit towards my next purchase, but I doubt it.
    Of course overall I am happy with the camera, but I would not buy it if you plan on relying on the XDCAM feature.
    Hope that helps

  • HD Footage looks blurry in SD Sequence

    So this may be a very simple question, or it may not.  I'm almost entirely switched over from Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.  So far there are some really amazing things about Premiere that I'm very impressed with.
    I have run into an issue where I shot some footage for another company in AVCHD 1080p 30fps (footage is inside a 60i container) and when I drop it into an NTSC 4:3 sequence and zoom in to about 135 percent it looks extremely blurry (the client requires the final cut to be NTSC 4:3).  In Final Cut Pro, I've shot in 1080 HD plenty of times then just dropped it into an SD sequence, adjusted the scale and position, and was able to work in the SD sequence from that point on.  While the end result would not look quite as sharp as the original 1080 HD footage, it still looked quite good (better than much of my footage shot in SD).  Since the HD footage is shot in a much higher resolution than 720x480 I was able to zoom into close to 150 percent without seeing any significant fuzziness in the image.  So now that I'm zooming in about 135 percent, I'm very surprised to see the amount of blurriness that I'm seeing.  I've tried rendering the footage and exporting the footage and i still get the same blurriness. 
    Below are some still images I exported from the footage
    Above is a still image from the original HD footage in a 1080 HD sequence
    This second image is from the HD footage in a 720x480 sequence at 100% scale
    This third image is from the HD footage in a 720x480 sequence at 135% scale
    As you can see, the third image looks very blurry.  When exporting from FCP the image would generally be at least as sharp as the second image even when at 135% or 150% scale.
    Is there a better way to edit HD footage in an SD sequence in order to not lose so much detail?  Should I nest the footage and then drag the nested HD sequence into the SD sequence?  Or is there something else going on that I'm just not aware of?
    Thanks so much for your help!

    Hi Mike,
    When you initially drop the HD clip into the SD sequence, are you seeing the whole image in the frame, or just a blown up middle part? If you are enabling "Auto Scale to Frame Size" in Preferences, or manually on the clip BEFORE scaling, this could be the issue. Right-click on the clip and make sure "Scale to Frame" is off, then scale using Motion effect to suit your needs. This way, you are starting out with all the HD pixels available, so when you scale up, the picture should remain sharp as you are viewing a subset of the larger HD image in your SD "window".
    Looking at your sample images again, I think that is the case - it is being scaled down to SD, then blown up again using Scale, and that is where the loss is coming from.

  • Footage from FCP into AE then back again...something's afoot

    Hey all,
    I have a 5 second clip that needs the attention of After Effects. A small area of my footage needs a paint job, and I've successfully brought the small area of my timeline out of FCP and have started a new composition in After Effects.
    I've done the paint job and mission accomplished.
    The problem:
    I can't get the footage back into Final Cut with the correct aspect ratio. The footage is, in FCP, HDV footage, 1440 x 1080 at 16:9 PAR. It looks great in After Effects, as AE is sizing the movie correctly. But my understanding is that I need to set my composition PAR settings to 1.33 aspect ratio in order to maintain the correct proportion. The PAR dropdown in Composition settings does not give this option. I've also tried 1920 x 1080 with Square Pixels and that doesn't work either.
    Can anyone advise me on how I get footage back out of AE without changing the PAR, or perhaps allowing me to choose 1.33 in my Composition settings?
    HUGE HELP!
    Thank you,

  • Can't view footage

    We captured some test footage in HD 1080 @ 24p/sf at 8bit YUV. We can hear the audio in CS3, but can't see the video in the Source Monitor. We can view our footage in the Quicktime player, just not in our editor.
    Our video card is the ATI Radeon X800 SE. Not sure if that is the problem.
    Any thoughts on how to figure out what our problem is?

  • Scaling footage in Premiere Pro CC

    Hi,
    I recently shot some footage in 1080 that I am editing in PP CC.  I created a 960 x 450 sequence, dragged the HD footage into the timeline and scaled the footage down by 50% to fit in the frame.  When I playback the footage, it automatically plays back in HD in the preview window instead of the scaled down version.  Is there a reason why this is happening? 

    I am having a similar result as degrees73, but maybe I can explain a little better.
    I am editing 4k footage into a 1080p timeline for delivery. We do time-lapse recording, so we often render in 4k from the images, and place into a 1080 project for ability to zoom and crop.
    I have had 2 4k projects in the past week give me weird results during playback. I will place the 4k footage into the 1080 timeline, reduce the scale on the footage to around 50% and upon playing the 50% footage back it is playing a small square inside the 1080 project, almost like it sees the footage as 1080 resolution and is reducing that by 50%.
    All my footage is Prores(HQ) and is inside a Prores(HQ) project. I have tried creating a new 1080 project and still no good. The only solution I have found is to place the footage into another timeline suited to that resolution and place the timeline into the 1080 timeline. But this technique does not suit the cut that I am currently doing as I need to make adjustments to specific shots.
    Any help would be great as to why this is happening.

  • Premiere Pro Freezes in Loading GoPro MOV footages

    I noticed a problem in loading up GoPro MOV footages everytime I open my project file. The MOV footages was a transcode from the MP4 original files.
    I've worked with 1080 resolutions and 2.7k resolutions.
    I had to force quite everytime my Premiere Pro.
    Weird thing is that once I tried to open a different project file that also uses GoPro MOV footages, it loads up fine. I close it, and open the problematic one, then it loads up fine.
    I have a weird feeling that its like my OSX has problems reading that MOV footages thats why it also affected Premiere Pro. And not just loading up the files that are on the timeline and Program Monitor,even when browsing in Media Browser the thumbnail doesn't appear, and the Source Monitor is also blank too.

    My Premiere;
    Premiere Pro CC 2014 8.2.0 (65)

    Yea, there've been a lot of changes that have been needed in workflow patterns as CC came in and has transmogrified itself. There's still some that feel that one simply SHOULD transcode into Editing Codecs because ... well, it's the Professional Way to Work. But those started when NLE's couldn't take a lot of "original" camera codecs, and the codecs themselves were often ... problematic. Testing footage both native & trans-coded, working the same effects, then exported and viewed with a fine-tooth eyeball is a good thing. And what a lot of people have found ... with decent computers, and the CC Adobe apps, the camera codec/format works as well.
    Now ... there are specific things & time do do a transcode, such as bringing 4k 4:2:0 footage down to 1080 4:2:2, which with the right transcoding is a complete 4:2:2 and not "just 420 in a 422 named wrapper" as some have thought. And many others. But ... MP4 and PrPro have come a long way recently.
    That whole dang thing of it's been working & just stopped, on a machine that SHOULD work ... dangnably maddening. Especially with the problem of it sometimes works.

  • Panisonic HDX900 1080 vs 720 for 24P

    I am going to be shooting and posting a project for a client in the next month and they would like a high-quality "film-look" HD capture to be delivered on DVD. I have shot some test footage with the HDX900. My issue came in ingesting the footage shot under 1080 - 59.94 24PA. I am using Panny's AJ-HD 1200AP deck over FW. My version of FCP (5.0.4) doesn't have a DVCProHD 1080 24PA Easy Setup. I captured with the DVCProHD 108060i Easy Setup and selected the "Remove Advanced Pulldown from 25 50 Sources" but the stuff comes in at 29.97. I've been reading (a lot) in the forums about dealing with 24PA in DV, but I haven't come across anything dealing with this 1080 24PA flavor from the HDX900. Here come the questions:
    1) Is it better just to shoot the 720 24P with this camera (which looks great) since I have been reading that the 1080 on the HDX900 is a blow up anyway?
    2) Capturing over FW with the AJ-HD1200AP from any of the DVCProHD formats I tested with the HDX900 have given me (in brief instances) an error E-02 (High Error Rate). Is this a problem with the deck? I have read in another thread on CCow there may be some confusion about the ability of this deck to properly playback the HDX900's tapes.
    3) Am I stupid in not upgrading to the Universal App of FCP? There was some concerns from another editor in-house that is would run slower on our Power PC machine.
    Thanks for any posts...

    I'm currently doing a project from the HDX900. I've captured with pulldown removal of the 720 source to a firewire 800 g-raid with no problems and pulldown does get removed properly. We chose to shoot in 720 due to concerns about 1080 out of that cam. And it does look great. I'm also running the universal FCP on a dual 2.7 G5 with no problem.
    If you want the "film look" the a great piece of advice is to get a lens adapter and use film lenses. That makes a world of difference!
