Sequence and Capture presets for 16x9 minidv

FCP 6.0.6
checking capture presets for sd mini dv shot in sd 16x9 (US).
what are proper sequence and capture settings?
in sequence setting - should frame size box remain ntsc dv (3:2) and then just check 16x9 anamorphic box?
in capture settings - frame size should it be ntsc dv (3:2) and then check 16x9 anamorphic box?
thanks in advance

Go to the menu Final Cut Pro > Easy Set Up and from the drop down menu choose USE: DV-NTSC Anamorphic.
Click Setup.
That will make all the correct settings at once.

  • Sequence and Capture Presets

    I've shot and captured 35 hours of footage originally shot in HD (output in standard def 16:9) using Final Cut 5.0. After loading it and spending hours organizing it, I found my Sequence Present is 3:2 - Also the Aspect Ratio is set to NTSC-CCIR 601/DV Anamorphic 16:9 is off. Compressor is DV/DVCPro NTSC. Pixel Ratio is also NTSC-CCRI 601/DV.
    Capture Preset is NTSC (3:2) Anamorphic is unchecked. Compressor is DV-NTSC. input is DCR TRV 900. I captured from a Z1U.
    Can anyone tell me- aside from being a dumb *** in the first place- how I can redeem my project> ? I need this to be for professional broadcast (standard def, 16:9) - I'm on deadline and want to avoid recapturing. If I DO need to recapture, can retain markings/ subclips?
    Thanks a bunch!

    Well there's a couple of things to check.
    What settings did you use on the Z1U? (HDV, 1080i, 30fps?)
    Did you use the capture preset mentioned in your post to capture the material? (check in the browser or item properties)
    If that's the case, you have an offline version of your material and you will have to recapture the whole thing (use the HDV capture preset) or online your final edit (basically only recapturing the material used in the final edit)
    I'm not sure how the online process will work in this case as I only have experience with PAL. It could prove to be tricky but someone here in the discussions forum must know if and how it's possible.

  • Capture preset for dcvprohd1080 24p??????

    I just shot a bunch of footage with an hvx200. The recording format was 1080i/24p. I am used to filming 720p with this camera and the presets in fcp are fine. There is not a capture preset for 1080/24p in fcp. There is only a 1080/24pa preset, which cant be right because its a totally differnt recording format. does anyone know the right way to capture dvcprohd 1080i/24p?

    I found that most interesting.... but again I ask why do you need to go to all the hassle and it IS hassle of RE-encoding from MXF to QT? I'm editing the MXF files straight.
    There is no "reencode", it is a simple transfer and addition of a QT wrapper so that FCP can read the files. Nothing is re-encoded, no metadata is lost, as Ben says. Hassle? What UTTER nonsense! if you rename the clip, FCP knows what links to what, and when you import you can RENAME and ORGANIZE your clips...a KEY thing to an efficient workflow.
    Are you telling me you EDIT THE MASTERS? You don't back up your footage at all? So, if your hard drive fails (and they often do), then all your footage is gone. Even if you edit the MXF files directly with Raylight, you ought to back up the masters by copying them to another disk, or LTO, or whatever. Just common sense. I keep my original MXF files on an archive disk and import the files into FCP where I can rename and organize how I please.
    In all my time of using the HVX (about 16 months) I've never known FCP to save the Metadata.... even if it hides it somewhere obscure its still a waste as FCP can't intiragate it.... i.e. I did a search this morning for all 720 50p footage shot in Tibet on P2 card serial number XXXXXX.... its an absolute breeze with P2cms. How can you do that with FCP? you can't you have to rummage through potentially 100's of clips.
    What metadata are you referring to? All you need are the clip names and timecode information really, and FCP retains that. Even if you rename a clip from 0003FG5 to "man crosses street," FCP knows that MAN CROSSES STREET is tied to 0003FG5. If the drive fails or media is lost, and you reimport, it goes right to the clip.
    I don't in anyway doubt your qualification in this field BUT I find it odd that your advocating such a convoluted workflow!
    Convoluted? Are you STILL saying that you edit your MASTER CLIPS and don't back them up? And if you do back them up (as you should), doesn't THAT double the size of your footage?
    First I program the metadata into the HVX via the SD card. I shoot what I need. I then hook up to my MBP to the HVX and fire up P2cms. I then injest the card(s). Lastly I fill in any outstanding required metadata.
    When I come to edit the footage.... I have the powerful P2cms database on hand to find any footage that I need within my collection of 1000's of clips. That then gets dropped into the required sequence. No fuss no hassle!
    Sorry to say it but after spending about a year with it all I can say is that Apple's workflow *****
    Depends on what you are doing, what you are editing, and what workflow you need. Your workflow works for you, but doesn't necessarily work for everyone. Just like the Importing workflow doesn't work for everyone. A lot of people like and use Raylight and edit the masters right away. ENG crews, people who need fast turnaround. It works. But so does importing and renaming and all that. There isn't ONE way to do things, because there are many many different production types...each requiring a different approach.
    Work the way you work...do what you do. Don't knock something because it isn't the way you do it. As the saying goes, "there is more than one way to skin a cat." As long as the cat ends up skinned, what does it matter how you did it?
    Eeew.

  • Log and capture problems for HDV using FCP 5.0.1

    I cant seem to get a picture in my log and capture browser when using HDV. The screen says my camera is connected, I see timecode correctly rolling in sync with my cameras timecode, I can use the controls, but no picture on the screen?
    When I hit capture now, the capture screen pops up and gives a message "waiting for data from device".
    we shot at 720p at 25fps, there is no capture preset for this in my version of FCP. Could this be the problem? Please help!!

    Thanks for responding.
    It's a mac osx 10.4.11 and a 2 ghz intel core duo. I'm using easy set up in final cut pro, but there is no option for hd fire wire basic (which apple support told me to look for). The only hd options are 1080i50, i60 and 720 p30. The other hd options are for the apple intermediate codec. When I use the easy set up for hd 1080i60, then go to log and capture, it doesn't give me the preview window to set in's out, batch capture etc. It only lets me capture straight from the camera and I have to manually stop it and start it which is a major pain. Plus the clips need to be rendered once I put them in a timeline. I've shot and edited on mini dv with final cut for nearly 7 years, but now that i've tried to upgrade and shoot hd mini dv, all of these problems have arrived in capturing. I'm starting to think my version of final cut pro (5.0.1) just doesn't work with hd, unless it's very time consuming. Any ideas?

  • Saving Sequence and Effects Presets that go with the project itself

    Hi, please be gentle as I'm a newbie to the site.
    I have been asked to create several master Premiere Pro projects in CC (templates if you like) that will be being sent to quite a few ops worldwide, many of whom are completely new to the Adobe Platform, so I would like to keep things as simple as I can for them.
    Is it possible to create sequence presets and a few effects presets that actually go with the project. At the moment when I've tried opening projects on another machine with a different user account, it overwrites everything with their presets and I can't find anything to stop that from happening. I'm assuming it's to do with sync settings.
    However, is there a function to allow premiere pro to open the project with the project's last settings (sequence and effects presets) rather than default to the user prefs? As an aside, I'm not interested in workspace or keyboard shortcuts - that's down to them!
    If it's not possible, is there a very simple step-by-step workflow I can use? But I'd really like to avoid trying to explain how to install sequence and effect presets to loads of different ops  if I can!!
    Finally (wrong forum I know) but I need to do exactly the same thing with the assocated After Effects master template projects, so any help on that would be gratefully received too.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum!
    When it comes to effects presets, you should be able to right-click on the Presets in the Effects bin and Export Presets...
    The ops can then import the presets using the same method (right-click on the presets in the effects bin and choose Import Presets...)
    For sequence presets, I can't find a way to do it within the software. Someone else will probably have to help you find it, but I'm certain there is a file somewhere in your computer that stores all of your Sequence Presets, so it would be a matter of finding and sharing that file with the ops, and then telling them where to put that file.
    Hopefully this helps out a little bit!

  • Sequence and Capture Settings Help Needed

    Hi there...
    Need some advice on setting my Sequence and Capture Settings in FCP 6.0.4.
    I have a Sony HDR-SR1 (AVCHD) and I know I how to bring the footage in through "Log and Transfer", but I'm not sure what I should be bring the footage in as.
    Should I capture with HDV, or can I bring the footage in as ProRes 422 (HQ)? Once captured, should the Sequence be set to HDV - 1080i/60, or should it be set to the ProRes setting? Or, does AIC still play a factor in this and I should choose that?
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I bring in as HDV, the file size will be very large. But if I bring it in at ProRes 422, the filesize will be smaller, but how much will I lose in compression?
    Also, does anyone know if I'm stuck shooting 1080i/60 or can I get 1080i/50 or 720p/24/25/30?

    The orginal footage is not DV, it is DVCPRO 25. I am capturing in the DV setting because of the length of the footage. The DVCPRO deck doesn't have a firewire output.

  • Sequence and Capture Settings Match, Still Need To Render

    I am capturing my video footage through a AJA Kona board using the SDI input. I have set my capture setting in FCP to 525 29.97 DV, and have set my sequence setting to match, also 525 29.97 DV. Yet when I overwrite the footage to the the sequence it needs to be rendered. I was under the impression that if the sequence and capture settings match I would not have to render. Is this not true?

    The orginal footage is not DV, it is DVCPRO 25. I am capturing in the DV setting because of the length of the footage. The DVCPRO deck doesn't have a firewire output.

  • Capturing preset for 32K 12 bit

    This should be obvious. It is simple in FCE. Have footage recorded in NTSC 32K 12 bit .. where is the Easy Setup? Where is the Capture setting in A/V Settings? Or in the capture screen? I don't see it.

    Both of you should open up the easy capture preset for DV/NTSC (or PAL) 48khz. Copy it. Change the audio to 32khz/16bit. Save it with a name that makes sense to you. You now have a preset for DV with 32khz audio.
    fwiw - 32khz/16bit works fine with 32/12 material. The extra bit depth causes no issues. It is the sampling rate discrepancy that is the problem.

  • Camera Raw brightness and contrast preset for art capture?

    I'm capturing oil paintings for reproduction with a D3x tethered to Lightroom 3.  I'm converting though in camera raw.  My camera profile is created using Color Checker Passport software/target which uses a DNG file.  Given that, the profile is build without brightness or contrast adjustments.  My question is, for accurate color, tone and exposure capture should the default ACR presets for brightness and contrast be reset to 0? 
    Thanks!

    Or use the Zero'd setting on import to get no initial settings. However, I thing you'll find doing your own is better.

  • Capture preset for a multishoot with 3 diferent cameras

    hello everyone
    i just shot a three camera shoot with a panasonic dvx100b, Canon Gl1 and a Sony HVR-A1U 1080i
    the footage from the dvx100b looks bad not clean also , i shot it on a tripod from the back of a room , there was lighting on the stage but the footage is not crisp or clean, im not sure if its because of the lighting situation and white balance or
    maybee its because i used a wrong capture setting?
    what preset should i use to capture this footage, since each camera is different, i need to capture diferently and then what sequence settings- now that Final Cut 6 can handle mix format.
    thanks
    Danny

    what preset should i use to capture this footage, since each camera is different
    Capture at the same settings as what you recorded. The DVX100B and the Canon GL1 both only record in DV (NTSC or PAL) so choose the appropriate capture preset in FCP. One note, use "Firewire Basic" as the Device Control setting IF you capture from a Canon camcorder.
    The HVR-A1U can record in either HDV or DV. Use the capture preset that matches that ... but if you recorded in HDV with the camera, you can choose to down-convert to DV in-camera during the capture process.

  • Changing capture presets for audio

    I just upgraded everything (os,fcs,qt) and am trying to capture some video from my Canon zr70 miniDV camera. I keep receiving the message "The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape....Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
    I don't know what this means or how to do it.
    Looked on previous posts and found this advice: "You need to duplicate your capture preset and change the audio settings to 12 bit" (12 bit is what my camera claims to be using).
    I need step-by-step instructions. Can someone please help me? And dumb it down...
    Thank you,
    Katherine

    Open the audio/video settings in FCP's FCP menu.
    Then click on the Capture Presets tab.
    Duplicate the DV NTSC 48khz capture setting, and a dialog box will open to change this new copy. Change the audio capture to 32 Khz 16 bit in the lower right area of this window. Change the name of the preset to what makes sense, and use that as the capture preset.

  • Capture Presets for AJA Io

    I just upgraded to FC Studio and now my old familiar capture presets seem to be missing. I can't find the RS 422 in the device control or the Uncompressed 10 bit setting that I used for capturing beta. Where did they go?

  • Suppress auto sequence and trigger DDL for surrogate keys?

    Is there a way to suppress trigger and sequence creation for surrogate keys when export to DDL file?
    I know most of the time the automatic sequence and trigger creation is welcome and very handy.
    However I'm migrating from an old Designer model and there only the needed sequences are created.
    They have a different name and trigger logic is custom (and  generated outside designer).
    There is a lot of package code depending on this. So I prefer to create and use different sequences.
    Is there a way to achieve this? Any tips are welcome.Create

    Hi,
    Note that generating the DDL for Oracle 12c means that it will attempt to use your Oracle 12c Physical model.  So if you normally use Oracle 10g or 11g, you will find that any details from your Oracle 10g or 11g Physical Model will not be included.  So this approach may have other implications for you.
    If you are not using Oracle 12c, there are some relevant properties on the Auto Increment tab of the Relational Model properties dialog for the Column which may help:
    Sequence Name - allows you to specify the name of the Sequence (which can be the name of a Sequence defined in the relevant Physical Model).
    Trigger Name - allows you to specify the name of a Trigger (which can be the name of a Trigger that is defined for the Table in the Physical Model).
    Generate Trigger - unsetting this will stop the Trigger being generated.

  • How to configure and save presets for custom scanning?

    There are 5 presets in Acrobat XI for scanning files: "Autodetect...", "Black &White...", "Grayscale...", "Color Doc...",  and "Color Image".
    There is also an option to to do a "Custom Scan..." and "Configure Presets" (modify the 5 above).
    However, I could not find any way to create my own custom presets.. is that not possible?
    I was hoping to at least save my configuration(and/or possibly create a few different custom scan templates) in the Custom Scan for future scans but that was also not an option.
    I would gladly use the  5 presets and configure them to how I want them but its unfortunate there are no output options there to automatically append a scan to an existing file or create multiple files from a continuous scan.
    So... 1) Can you create custom presets for scanning? 2) Is there a way to configure output options in the existing scan presets? Thanks!

    Pavanmeet,
    you have to set all activities in the workflow to "general task" as well, not only for WS12300111 itself (doubleclick on each symbol with the "triangle").
    check the status of the sent leave request in transaction PTARQ (Display Documents). Here the "next agent" & the "pers. no" of the next agent is of interest.
    logon with the user, that is saved in infotype 0105 of the above mentioned pers.no. there should be the approve request.
    you can check the status of the workitems with SWI1 (i assume your system is prepared for workflows , check SWU3)

  • Sequence, Export, and Capture presets

    Could someone explain to me the relationship (if any) of the Sequence presets to the Export presets. It seems to me that the sequence presets have to do with what I see on the computer, and the export presets are what the output is to be. And how does the captured material relate.
    Thanks
    Michael

    The sequence is the internal codec FCP will use when editing.
    If the captured file is the same codec as the sequence, FCP will be able to play the material on the timeline without rendering simple cuts. It will also have more real time effects available.
    The export codec simply translates the internal codec of the sequence to the deliverable format of the output. Issues of frame proportion, frame rate and compression come into play here. If the sequence, captured file and export codecs are all the same, you have a very slick editing path. A major exception to this is HDV. It is an ugly kluge.
    The manual is very well written and is a wonderful place to start reading about this relationship.
