Sequence for FCP 7 - Confusion with 1080P

I keep trying to put my clips (1080x1920 square frame 25 FPS, progressive) into a sequence. It keeps prompting me to automatically change my sequence to "fit" the clips, so I say go ahead and do it. Then I check the sequence and it is at HDTV 1080i (16:9) 1920x1080. However, this is progressive footage, not interpolated. What gives? I can't seem to change it to 1080p. i looked in easy setup, preferences, etc. I restarted FCP and created new sequences; nothing changes.
What did I overlook? My video is from a Canon 5D, 25 FPS. The other footage (from a GF1) was sent through Compressor to make it match the Canon footage. ALl of the footage is sitting pretting in the bins, plays in the sequence, but I'm worried how this will look later. It looks OK on my HD progressive scan monitor.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, as I am reluctant to get to into this until I sort out the 1080i setting, as my footage isn't 1080i.
Cheers,

Thanks Ben
I ran everything throug Log and Transfer to create Pro Res 422.
Good call on the field dominance; it is set to none.
Does this mean I'm good to go? I used the Log & transfer, that part seems fine. I did not create LT clips, as I'm not familiar with the nuances of all this...at least not yet .
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

  • Speech recognition or other solution for FCP user with hand injuries?

    Hi,
    I work with final cut pro on a daily basis and have repetitive stress injuries on my hands/wrists from years of keyboard and mouse use. I was wondering if there is any way to use hands-free speech recognition software with a graphical program like fcp? Any other suggestions would be most welcome as well...
    Thanks.

    Don't know about hands-free speech recognition, but I have a wacom tablet and pen that I love. Some people hate the pen but I love it. I allows free movement throughout the program with little effort of movement. It's also great for photoshop and After Effects when you're doing drawing type functions.
    I'm assuming that you've seen a doctor and that you hand is being treated for injury. Correct?
    Just a thought. My husband had carpal tunnel sydrome for months when a nasty hand injury forced surgery and they fixed the carpal tunnel while they were in there. Guys....

  • Backup solutions for FCP 5 with external FireWire LaCie disks

    Hi guys!
    I'm using a G4 mirrored door Dual and OS 10.4.8.
    On external LaCiel d2 disk (160 to 300 GB) I store my footage, project files and other assets for different projects.
    After having some trouble with lost "partitition table" on one disk and accidentally replacing an existing Capture Scratch with an emtpy one, I realise I must look for a system to backup my disks.
    What do you suggest? I guess a disk-based system is cheaper, but tape feels more reliable.
    What tape format should I look into?
    All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Listen to Shane.
    You've already got all your footage on Betacam... hang on to it. It may not be environmentally friendly, but tape is cheap and when stored properly, lasts a long time. I can go back a recapture things I shot on Betacam long before the concept of footage on hard drives existed, and believe me, it comes in handy when a client wants to put a corporate history show together.
    The only thing I put to tape for archive is a DV copy of my completed timelines. I find these come in handy when a client wants a simple change (cut out Joe cause we fired him last week) If it's simple enough I simply recapture that master tape and edit using it rather than re-capture all the footage necessary to recreate a timeline.
    Have fun

  • Help with enabling TPM in Task Sequence for Dell Laptops

    Hi there,
    I would appreciate some advice on creating a task sequence for Win8.1 with TPM enabling for Dell laptops; I have BitLocker set up manually with a Group policy, but want to have TPM enabled in the task sequence. I have read older posts on sites such as windows
    noob, but can't see how to reference the CCTK and get TPM going for win8.1 in a SCCM2012 environment. 
    Obviously I haven't created this before so any help would be appreciated; I have noticed when I try to import my CCTK configurations into SCCM as it isn't a zip file I cannot do it.

    Luckily Dell wrote a whitepaper about that subject, see:

  • Raid card and scratch disk setup for FCP

    Hi Guys
    Can anybody tell me what is the correct way to set up a raid card and scratch disk for FCP if you have 3 x 2TB internal hard drives, with the OS on HD1 and drives 2 and 3 dedicated for FCP
    Also with this i also have all my documents i.e work stuff, invoices, pictures, music ect from my old windows PC and used to have them stored on HD2 with the Windows 7 OS on HD1 - i have been told that it is fine if i put this on the same drives as FCP is this correct...?
    i only ask this as i have been told how to do it in different ways by 3 people......

    Thanks John, although i'm rather embarrassed to admit that I am a complete newbie when it comes to technical/computer hardware terms (i.e. I have no idea about different types of disks, other than a HDD and a SSD, or even what the difference is between your media cache and a scratch disk).
    This means that after reading all the links you so helpfully provided hasn't done much other than making me feel even more stupid!
    The best that I can conclude from what I think that i've understood is that I will use:
    Intel 530 Series 120GB SSD for O/S, Programs (and Pagefile?? No idea what this is, sorry)
    Samsung 840BW 500GB - Scratch Disk (is this the media cache?) and preview
    Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD - media, projects, and exports
    Please tell me if i've got something around the wrong way....
    Thanks again.

  • Best sequence preset for short film with all stills?

    Hi,
    I'm working on a short film documentary, its all stills, I usually work with video - first time doing all stills. Project looks great in my time line, but when rendering for standard DVD I'm getting lots of odd pixilation in cross fades and fades to black. Not a lot of time to keep testing the hundreds of sequence and render settings. Perhaps not the best choice but I used AVCHD 1080p30.
    Anyone know which of the sequence presets would be best for a film with all stills?
    Thanks!

    Still a little unsure about the render twice. I did use a AVCHD sequence/timeline, but I am exporting using media encoder to MPEG2. I'm guessing by render twice you mean rendering in the timeline after you bring in stills and apply motion, then rendering again when exporting for MPEG2? If thats your meaning, not sure how you get around rendering twice - I mean the motions and timeline still needs to be rendered, or are you saying leave it all to be rendered at the export process?
    I can see how the terminology could be confusing.  When you Export>Media from Pr, that's the same as Exporting and Rendering (esp. if your output format is different from your Preview format).  One way to look at it is that you're rendering a complete single file to a single codec.
    Rendering is also a term used to "build" Previews in Pr.  That's where your source media - no matter what codec was used - is rendered into the Preview format you selected in your Sequence Settings.
    You have options when making a DVD.  You can export (while simultaneously rendering) to an intermediate file, such as ProRes for Mac people, and then make your DVD from that.  That is "rendering twice."  OR... you can simply Export to an MPEG2 from Pr, and make your DVD from that, which would be "rendering once."
    Based on what you just wrote, it sounds like you're only "rendering once."  But if so, I'm baffled why your fades are blocky.
    Maybe it would help if you described how you're making your DVD.  I wonder if you're re-transcoding your MPEG2 when you get to Encore (or whatever you're using to make DVDs).  That could explain it.

  • I have a NTSC-48KHz Sequence for MiniDV in FCP 5

    I have a NTSC-48KHz Sequence for MiniDV in FCP 5
    that's fine
    When I bring in a Live Type movie, it looks pixelated
    which I know is because the MiniDV sequence is a different

  • Is there a way to set up browse sequences for project with multiple TOCs and conditionalized modules

    I'm using RoboHelp 9 with WebHelp output.
    I've got five outputs, one of which contains Help for common functions, while the other four contain Help for licensed modules. When a user opens the Help for a licensed module, the user sees the core Help and the licensed Help. In addition, files are conditionalized so that searching for unlicensed content from a licensed Help module brings up nothing.
    I've been troubleshooting problems with the Previous Topic and Next Topic which, thanks to William, I learned are related to browse sequences. After trying assorted configurations, I've got a couple of questions:
    Does RH support only a single browse sequence in a project, even when the project has multiple outputs & TOCs?
    If RH supports only a single browse sequence, does that mean there is no way to create a unique browse sequence for each separate output?
    If RH supports multiple browse sequences, what is the workflow?
    I also maintain a 'master' TOC that contains all the modules, both common and unlicensed. What I've done for now is to autocreate a browse sequence based on the 'master TOC'. When I generate output for a licensed module, which is conditionalized, I only see the TOC for that module and, therefore, can only browse between books and subbooks in that module. I've also verified that topics that do not appear in the conditionalized module, such as for another licensed module, do not appear in the Search results list either.

    Me again, Carol
    You also asked about the functional differences between WebHelp and WebHelp Pro, so let me elaborate.
    I'm aware of only two major differences (other than the extra benefits of feedback analytics reports and management of "Areas" with authentication in RoboHelp Server).
    The behavior of Browse Sequences as explained above
    The fact that Content Categories are not supported in WebHelp Pro for this latest version 9.
    As for the Browse Sequences you are trying to provide for different modules (licensed, etc.): Multiple Browse Sequences are included in a single .BRS file. The sequences are defined in the XML within the single file.
    As a workaround (for either WebHelp or WebHelp Pro) you could create a NGP Help.brs. which you have already created for one module; then backup and archive it. Then, create a modification for the different module before you generate again. The NGP Help.brs. will need to have the same name as your project so you will have to manage the desired .brs file into the project folder when you generate that version. All of your other choices (TOC, Index, Conditional Tags, etc.) would remain the same for the respective modules.
    Finally, I note that you are apparently generating WebHelp Pro right now even though you are not publishing it to the RH Server? This is really not the best practice. You should generate plain WebHelp for a web server that does not have RH Server on it (even though you may be getting away with it). As for your concern about "breaking" something; each output is placed in a different !SSL! folder automatically when you generate, so you should be able to generate WebHelp without interferring with the WebHelp Pro output. Then, you can re-publish to the RH Server using WebHelp Pro whenever the server is ready.

  • Help required with Access Sequence for 'Delivery output' of Scheduling note

    Dear Gurus
    I need help with creation of an Access Sequence.
    I have created an access sequence for sales org and customer, where the communication is emailed or faxed to the CR party- Forwarding agent.
    BUT - some customers have more than 1 forwarding agent in their masterdata, and not all forwarding agents are wanting to receive fax/email, so if a condition record exists it will always try to send via the method set up against the customer.
    I need to create an access sequence which looks at the customer/ Forwarding agent combination, - I have created new condition tables and Access sequences to include Vendor, - but when i create delivery notes, - this is not working, - it is not recognising the access sequence at all, the vendor party/haulier is not being recognised at all- I keep getting access not made, Initialised field'     
    Please advise how i can get the customer/Forwarding agent scenario to work
    Many thanks
    Tony

    Hi Tony,
    The field SPDNR can not be entered directly in the feild catalog list.
    First it has to be included in the list through inculde or user exit......
    SPRO->Sales and Distribution>System Modifications->Create New Fields (Using Condition Technique)-->New Fields For Output Control---> Use INCLUDE for new fields in Dictionary (messages) or Use user exit for new fields (messages)  
    You ask your ABAP consultant to do this then it will be available in the field catalog list then u can select in the condition table then into access sequence and so on...
    Kindly Reward points if usefull.
    Regards

    Well, when I start working (should I say try to work with FCPX, activity monitor in the %processor column for FCPX jumps rapidly over 100% and reaches more than 200% ??? What the **** is that ?
    200% or more is not strange. Remember that your mac has 4 cores (you say it's 3 months old, so I assume it is a new model), so 200% amounts to using 2 of these 4 cores to the max.
    Regarding the question of creating a new admin user: while it sits in the same system, it may help if the problem is caused by some user-specific preferences or settings. Not likely in your case, since you seem to have reinstalled from scratch, but still it is worth a try. It takes 5 minutes and may help pinpoint the problem.

  • I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter.  She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters.  Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

    I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter.  She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters.  Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

    There is no way for the keyboard itself to display only lower case letters. It doesn't display lower case letters at all for that matter.
    When you are using the keyboard - The other issue that you will have is with the shift key. Even with auto caps turned off you can still type capital letters if you tap the shift key and if you double tap it by mistake - it will turn into all capital letters so also turn off Caps Lock in the keyboard settings.
    Other than that, there is no way to ensure that you can type in lower case.
    Maybe an external bluetooth keyboard would be a better solution but I don't use one, and I have never even seen one in person so someone else will have to verify that for you.

  • How do I partition a disc with a raid card installed for fcp x and motion

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded fcp x and purchased motion but have found out the drivers for my AJA io HD are not available as yet so decided to revert to FCP 6.5. My system now runs like a dog and then I discovered FCP x and Motion should be installed on a separete partition. I have a Raid card installed on my mac and the application disc disk does not enough space so do not know what I should do. Any help would be welcome.
    Noel

    Hi Mark spencer4,
    The issues I have is No drivers for Aja ioHD so I cant test FCP X to see how it works. When I return to my FCP version 6 it just does not run like it used to and keeps hanging the Aja ioHD so I have to keep refreshing. My motion projects on the FCP timeline now do not open in the old version of motion so I cant round robin as before. My main disc does not have enough space to run FCP X projects and a post on Apple forum said to run FCP X and Motion on a new partition if  you still need to use FCP 6. As I have a Raid card with enough space, If I created a partition on it for fcp X and Motion 5 would FCP 6 work properly again.
    I could not see how to create a partition on the Raid drive?

  • Anyone used Mocha for FCP with Motion4?

    I'm considering this tool.
    http://www.imagineersystems.com/products/mochafor_FinalCut/
    Only downside is it only runs in FCP, so you have to send the tracking data to Motion from FCP.
    But, curious if anyone is actually using it, and how well the workflow works with Motion4?

    Les,
    If you're going the Mocha route, just buy the stand alone version of Mocha, you will not regret it. You'll also get the Mocha shape plug-ins for AE and FCP.
    Before the Mocha for FCP plug was created, I exported Mocha tracking data to Shake or AE and then used specialcase's [Tracker Data plugs|http://www.motionsmarts.com/downloads.html] to get into Motion. While I was only able to get single point tracking into Motion through this backdoor, it still worked fairly well.
    But I would advise just to get the Mocha application if you're even considering the tool at all.
