Shot footage in HDV now want SD!

I have shot footage and edited my film in HDV (20 mins long), but I want to export the file for writing a SD DVD in DVD Studio pro...do I just export it as normal as Quicktime file standard SD? Or is there another conversion I must do? We dont have HD DVD players here in the UK as yet.

Hi Allister,
A quicktime export is one way and compressor another. I have also been following various posts on the subject as I am in the same position with a Sony HC1 and have a 90minute edit that I need to export for SD DVD. I should be in a position to do this later this week.
In the meantime you might want to try the followign posts on the subject which make for interesting reading.

  • I made a video series on one time line and now want to copy paste sections into other tiemlines so I can separate the series into distinct videos to upload. How do I get new timelines? When I go to new event it asks for import footage.

    You seem to be new to this software, so I highly recommend that you take some time to learn it using some great tutorials available online - it will pay off to invest the time, if you follow through, for example the great (and free) introductory tutorial at izzyvideo.com.
    This is an amazing piece of software, and you'll have a lot to learn, but it's well worth it.

  • I have cropped a clip and now want to take other clips from the remaining footage.  But the discarded footage which contains other desirable clips is not in Trash.  So, where did it go so I can access it?

    I have cropped a clip and now want to take other footage from the discarded remains of the clip.  But the discarded footage is not in my iMovie trash.  Where did it go?  And how do I rescue it so I can edit the other short clips from it that I need?

    I don't know how it did it (because I cannot duplicate the results) but one time the finder found a folder on my main hard drive called/Volumes Under that folder are folders called the names of previous external hard drives with numbers following them. /Volumes does not appear on my Mac hard drive. Obviously it is hidden somewhere. But it has content. Most of the time, the file names in that content don't show up in a search, but obviously I have found the content and deleted one huge folder of stuff it has saved. When I found the folder, I immediately opened it, where I found this stuff. But unfortunately when it opened in the search window I went directly to the "drive" folder and had no back arrow, so I couldn't get back to the search that found the content and the mystery /Volumes folder. The finder information window does show /Volumes directly off of the main drive (its not in any other folder). Anybody know where this stuff is hidden or how to get to it.

  • I have been filling up my internal memory on my laptop after years of video editing. I now want to export all this footage to an external hard drive. What is the proper way to do this.

    Are the videos being stored in iMovie or another application? Have you exported/shared the video? If the video is in iMovie what version of iMovie are you using? Give as much info as possible, and you may also want to post the question in the iLife section of this forum since more people with video skills will be reading the iLife/iMovie threads.

  • SD Footage in HDV Project Anyone

    has anyone here ever included *SD(720x480 DV)footage* in a *HDV project?* I have massive amounts on footage captured in SD from my Sony VX1000. I would like to move forward by editing all my projects in HDV format, which will include the DV footage. I downloaded a trial from BorisFX called "UpRez" that is supposed to take SD footage and make them work wihin the HDV format. My questions are:
    1: Has anyone used the BorisFX "UpRez" plugin and does it really work
    2: Is there a plugin bundled with FCP 6.x that does the same thiing
    3: Can a HDV project playback on a SD meduim
    4: If not can compressor "downsize" my HDV project to play back on SD mediums
    Thanks in Advance

    As far as I know in 2009 all things will be digital, not necessarily HD. But if you want to keep you HDV timeline, though I would recommend transcoding to ProRes because of HDVs long-gop, I have had some success with using Compressor to upRes SD footage to use in an HD timeline. Using the frame controls use best for the resizing filter and deinterlace filter. Be aware that this will take quite a bit of time, depending on how beefy your machine is. Although, I've only been going as far as 720p. 1080 sizes will really hinder the look of the SD footage.
    If you want to keep all you edits in HD, simply downconvert your finished edit using compressor to SD and encode your MPEG 2 files. You'll just have to decide if you want to crop the sides of your 16:9 footage to a 4:3 or letterbox the 16:9 into a 4:3 frame.
    hope this helps.

  • I need to export 1080 p shot footage to a standard def dvd . ]

    i need to export 1080 p shot footage to a standard def dvd . ]
    In fxp x export settings i can see the "dvd" setting but i need to use toast because i need to add a few projects and that seems to only allow what project you are currently in.
    Client does not have blu ray so I have to go to standard dvds.
    I am using toast. I know how to use toast but I want ffedback on how I should export from FCPx for a standard dvd burnout.
    Thanks

    You're right I tried a few different exports with varying file sizes. My thinking was it was better to have a lower file size going into the DVD. Of course you are the expert so I value your input. It's just that I have two of these files I need to send out to DVD and for both seminars there going to be under 50 GB that seems like a lot of space to take up on my storage. My assumption was that was way too big of a file and I should have a smaller file size to be able to go into the DVD any further info or articles would be appreciated. Thanks Tim
    Is there any readings on best export settings for certain type projects? It seems pretty cut and dry I just assumed I would get smaller file sizes during the export.. Just trying to understand it all.

  • I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • Someone else bought an app on the store. I had already purchased the app before on my other computer, so I deleted the app on my new computer that the other person purchased. I now want to download the app again on MY account but...........

    Someone else bought an app on the store on my new computer. I had already purchased the app before on my old computer, so I deleted the app on my new computer that the other person purchased. I now want to download the app again through MY account. When I click INSTALL it asks for ID, but it shows up automatically with the other person's ID, so I delete that and enter mine instead. I then click SIGN IN, but then it says "Unknown error", then I click OK, then it says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)". How do I get rid of all info of other people's IDs so I can get the app through my account again?
    The app that I'm trying to download actually might have been a pirated app. But I deleted it, so why is it not letting me get it through my account?
    Please help!
    Thanks

    If you are sure there is nothing in it, download trashit, a useful free app.   That will dispose of it.

    Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

  • HT204053 i have set up both an i pad * ipod with the same itunes account but now want to seperate them

    Hi can anyone help.
    I have set up an ipad & ipod using the same itunes account but I now want to unlink them as everything my son downloads appears on my i pod. also i want to change certain  e mail accounts?
    How do i do this , not very technically minded so help needed!!!!
    Many thanks

    You can't. Apps and content are tied permanently to the iTunes Store account through which they were purchased. Her MBA will need to be authorized to your iTunes Store account and she'll need that account information to be able to update the apps and re-download content, or they'll need to be repurchased through her iTunes Store account.

  • I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

    With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
    Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want.  But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
    If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud.  Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
    To create a new icloud account, go to
