Shot in 60i on a DVX100B, FCP easy setup?

Hi, I have been using a Panasonic DVX100B (NTSC) in 24PA mode and capturing/editing in FCP, I'm very happy, not too much trouble.
now I have tried to shoot in 60i mode (scene 1), I cannot find an easy setup preset....
1: What's the best capture setting for this?
2: Should I set my sequence to the same as Q1?
3: This footage will be going to my website as either a QT movie or Flash so am I doing the correct thing shooting in 60i?
4: If I do eventually send this to DVD is it still wise to use 60i?
I have tried to duplicate a preset and choose a frame rate of 60, but I'm not 100% this is correct because as soon as I try to log and capture it says it dropped frames, it won't even capture anything.
This will probably be the first of many posts as I'm trying to take in as much info as possible, but it's not sticking... LOL
Thanks
C.

DV/NTSC 29.97. 60i just means 60 interlaced fields...which works out to 30 frames...and all DV runs at 29.97...so...
DV/NTSC 29.97. No advanced pulldown...just the basic setting.

  • Has Anyone Else Got A "Non-Controllable Device" Easy Setup In FCE 4 ?

    Well has anyone got a PAL "Non-Controllable Device" Easy Setup in FCE 4 ?
    I am completely confused as over the past few months I have been fiddling with FCP and FCE.
    I am sure I created this Easy Setup in FCP 6 and saved it to default position of HD>Library>Application Support>FCP System Support>Custom Settings.
    Strangely it has appeared in FCE 4 ......... I'm sure it is mine because it has the wording, "... capturing via A/D Converter", which I am sure is my phrasing and not Apple's.
    Other FCP Easy Setups I have made have not appeared in FCE - just this one.
    Now here's something stranger ........ I have deleted the file from the Custom Settings folder but it still appears in both FCE and FCP !
    Below are a couple of screenshots from FCE 4 :-
    Can anyone explain this weird behaviour please ?

    Ian, heres my take on the way it works ...
    When FCP/FCE loads up then any Custom Settings are loaded (and held in memory along with everything else) ... when you quit, those settings are written to the prefs file. From that point on they are there for good ie you can trash the Custom Setting but it will still be loaded from the prefs file at launch. Only when you delete the prefs file will the setting go (along with everything else). I'd file it under bug.
    By the way, this is not new, its been like this since forever.
    Cheers

  • What's the best FCP6 easy setup for HD shot on Canon XHA1?

    Hi, I'm sorry to ask such a novice question, but I want to make sure I'm starting correctly. Anyone have advice on the best easy setup to use for a project that will be predominantly footage shot in HD at 30P on the Canon XH-A1? It will also include a little bit of HD footage shot through a Canon 5D markii, but I think I understand how to bring those clips in later using log and transfer and the appropriate Canon EOS codec deal.
    I'm just still not sure of the difference between HDV, DVCPRO HD, and all those other easy presets that are listed out...
    thanks much!
    -Sarah

    I tried to search through other threads before posting my question, but I guess I didn't come across yours.
    It was in response to your other question on the forums... So it was an answer directly to you.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2486111&tstart=0
    As for your other question, that I also answered...use the camera if you want to shoot 30F or 24F, or shoot 60i and use the deck. Those are your choices. There is no deck that deals with Canon's F format...and they don't make decks. Silly stupid.

  • Easy Setups in folder, but not in Easy Setups window in FCP?

    Hi all,
    Just got my own copy of FCP, and have been tinkering around and getting familiar with the sequence settings, easy setups, etc.
    I like the concept of the Easy Setups, however I noticed that not all of the Easy Setups from the "Additional Easy Setups" folder in my Applications folder (which came with the install) are visible in application.
    For example, for one organization I edit for, we use a compact HD camera, a Canon VIXIA HF S200, which is AVCHD based, and we shoot in the XP+ setting (1440x1080) at 60i (29.97fps if you prefer).
    When I did work on FCP6 there (I did not bother much with Easy Setups then) we'd be working with the appropriate sequence: ProRes422 1440x1080i60.
    However in toying with these easy setups, the only ProRes 422 Easy Setup showing up is HDV-Apple ProRest 422 1080p24. However, the easy setups folder HAS a 422, 1440x1080, 60i easy setup config file, it's just not showing up in the app.
    Worst comes to worst I'll just manually change the sequence setting because the sequence settings are there, I was just wondering If I had to "install" the additional easy setups or something so they actually appear as easy setups.
    Again, no big deal, just was wondering if anyone knew, thanks!

    Hi -
    The "Easy Set-Ups" are a legacy feature in FCP from when tape based acquisition was standard.
    Since you will be ingesting your HF S200 material via Log and Transfer, and making transcoding decisions there, the Easy Set Up you have chosen is not relevant.
    Once you have ingested your clips, when you place/edit the first clip to a new sequence, FCP will prompt you to match the sequence settings to your source material settings - again, making the Easy Set Up not relevant.

  • FCP Easy settings for panasonic AG-AF100

    What is the proper easy setup settings? I'm new to FCP and my camera Panasonic AG AF100.
    I shot AVCHD HD1080p30. What should I use for easy set up?
    Also, if I shot other clips in 108024p would I need to change anything in set-up or will it do this automatically?
    Thanks so much for your advice.

    Here's a tutorial for tapeless ingest in FCP 7. ALL tapeless ingest. The footage from the AF-100 will come in as ProRes.

  • No "DV-PAL 32kHz" Setting In FCP's Easy Setup ?

    I have just noticed, that unlike Final Cut Express, Final Cut Pro does not have an Easy Setup for DV audio shot at 12Bit (32kHz).
    It is not a problem to me as I never use that setting but I am curious.
    Is it simply omitted because no sane user of FCP would choose to shoot 12Bit audio ?
    Ian.

    Thanks Piero, Links and Studio X.
    As you may have guessed, I eventually more or less worked out most of it myself and discovered that Custom Settings were probably the solution.
    I originally noticed the lack of the setting when I was answering a question on the FCE forum. I needed the exact wording for the 32kHz Easy Setup and happened to look in FCP only to discover it wasn't there!
    Later, when looking at custom setups, I noticed there was no 12-bit option so the information from Studio X is interesting.
    Piero, I have a confession! Though I have Tom's and Lisa's books on FCP, I never thought of looking in the Help manual! I must make a point of looking there first in future.
    Anyway, I now know all that I need about 32kHz even though I will never use it!

  • FCP 7.0.3 Easy Setup audio setting issues

    I have created two custom Easy Setups.
    SD:     DVCPro50 PAL with audio set @ 48.000 kHz, 16-bit, 16 chan
    HD:     DVCProHD 1080i 25fps with audio set @ 48.000kHz, 24-bit, 16 chan
    I open FCP, load the SD easy setup.  I then click on Audio/Video settings.
    Select "Audio/Video Settings" and view "Capture Presets Summary"
         - Audio format is listed as 48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan
    Select"Edit" and "Capture Preset Editor" comes up.
         - UnderQuicktime Audio Settings:
              - Device:  AJA Kona 3
              - Format:  48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan
    If I then select the HD Easy Setup, and then "Audio/Video Settings"
    Select"Edit" and "Capture Preset Editor" comes up.
         - UnderQuicktime Audio Settings:
              - Device:  AJA Kona 3
              - Format:  48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan (THIS SHOULD BE 24-bit)
    Select the "A\V Device" tab:
    The audio device has defaulted to the 16 bit setting as well.
    It appears that FCP or AJA is keeping the audio bitrate from the previous Easy Setup.
    Even if we close FCP completely, and reopen into a new project, load the HD Easy Setup, the bit rate still shows as 16.
    I have tried deleting the following:
    apple.finalcutpro.plist

    The camera definitely recorded in SP, that icon was visible on the viewfinder...
    What settings should i be using in FCP to capture the video? From attempted research i found most comments suggesting to use a basic Firewire settings. i have used this in PAL format but the results are poor.
    One thing I am confused about is the 32khz or 48khz settings. Which should i be using? I have an older version of FCE 4 where there are many settings for both 32khz and 48khz for DV FireWire but in FCP7 there are only options for 48khz.
    Any advice would be welcomed at the moment.
    I am also willing to upload clips of what I have to demonstrate visually the poor quality video I am capturing from the Canon

  • I can't import MXF files shot on a Canon C300 into FCP 10.1.2.  I have the Canon plug in for MXF file to FCP import but FCPX still doesn't recognize MXF files when I try to import. Premiere works fine importing MXF on the same computer.

    I can't import MXF files shot on a Canon C300 into FCP 10.1.2.  I have the Canon plug in for MXF file to FCP import but FCPX still doesn't recognize MXF files when I try to import. Premiere works fine importing MXF on the same computer.  Any help is appreciated.

    Russ and Luis,
    I did uninstall and re-install Canon XF Utility and the Canon FCPX plug in.   Still no luck.  I checked the CanonXF64.RADPlug folder is on my computer in the Rad Plugins folder in application support  This is where it is supposed to be as far as I can figure out. 
    Another piece of the puzzle is that  footage shot on a Canon C300 in 2013 and  I reimported today and it DOES import into FCP10.1.3.   Footage shot on a different Canon C300 filmed this summer will NOT import into FCPX.  The latter will import into Premiere. But I am trying to work in FCPX, but maybe I shouldn’t be??
    Any ideas?  (screen shots below)
    Thanks.
    Peace, Huey
    FYI Here is what Canon says
      "There is another trick that works sometimes though.  Try uninstalling the plugin and XF Utility.  Then, install the latest XF Utility, followed by the plugin, in that order."
    I did do this but no results.  Otherwise they say I need to wait for a new plugin.
    Here's 2014 Canon C300 files does NOT import to FCPX
    Here's 2013 Canon C300 files does import into FCPX.  I thought it was Contents folder but another set of footage shot on C300 does import and there is no contents folder for that. 

  • FCP 7.02 and ProRes Easy Setups

    Hi
    My issue is that none of the Apple Pro Res Easy Setups that were installed during setup in my Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Custom Settings folder show up in the list of available Easy Setups in the application.
    If I go through the motions of creating a new Easy Set up (combining Sequence Preset, Capture Preset etc in the Audio Video Settings) it saves to the same folder and appears in the list. But none of the ProRes setups do. It's long list too ... and I need many of them (University Media Lab), so having to rebuild them all will take ages...
    It's important for my students to go through the motions of selecting an appropriate Easy Set up so that they don't get presented with the option of adjusting a sequence setting which was created by virtue of having an incorrect Easy Setup for the type of footage they are importing. A lot of the time they choose badly!
    I can't figure out why these Easy Set Ups don't show up ...
    Yes, I've restarted, reinstalled on another machine, checked the manual and so on...
    Does anyone have any ideas? Does anyone else see a list of 100 or so ProRes Setups?
    Thanks
    Lee

    In easy setup you limit the list with the use and rate popups.
    Well yes, but here If I select "ALL" for Format and Rate I can't see any ProRes Setups in the main list.
    If I specifically choose "Apple ProRes 422 " in the Format field the Use and Rate drops downs grey out and I get a 23.98/ 1440 x 1080 R\ProRes set up.
    Seeing as there are dozens of ProRes 422 / 444 / LT/ HQ / Proxy setups in the Custom Settings folder (or in the "Application/Additional Easy Setups" depending on install options) I don't understand why I can't see them.
    True... FCP will conform a Sequence to the correct specs if I drop a ProRes Proxy file into a ProRes 422 HQ sequence .... but it's hardly confidence inspiring. I much prefer to set things up properly from the get go.
    Looks as if I'll have to build my own ProRes Variations ....???
    Thanks

  • Changing aspect ration in FCP 7, Easy Setup?

    I recently starting editing again in FCP 7 and am running into an aspect ratio problem.
    Earlier this fall i tried capturing some clips off of my new camera (Panasonic HVX) and i believe i changed some of the easy setup/capture settings to accommodate the HD footage.  This weekend i used my old mini dv camera (Sony vx2100) to record some skating.
    I didn't change the easy setup/other settings prior to capturing the tapes. 
    The image doesn't look as it looks ok in the viewer, but doesn't fully fill the canvas.
    When i export to vimeo, the image doesn't fill the whole screen.
    The image itself looks ok, but i believe the aspect ratio is off somehow.
    This is a link to how the vimeo export turned out
    https://vimeo.com/85702402
    here is a link to another edit i'd made previously in the summer where the image filled the screen better
    https://vimeo.com/73221381
    here is a screen capture of the canvas
    anybody know what i should do?

    You need to ask this on the Final Cut studio forum.

  • Has FCP 7 Got Any Preset Easy Setups For AVCHD Video?

    I just wondered whether FCP 7 has any AVCHD Easy Setups like FCE 4?
    I can't find any but I could have sworn I saw some a year ago in FCP 6.0.1 onwards.
    I don't need them, but I told a friend they were there when she was given some AVCHD to edit.

    I don't think there have ever been specific AVCHD presets. The media's converted to another format for ingest so the sequence preset would be ProRes or AIC or whatever it was converted to.

  • Easy setup for Panasonic AG-HMC40P

    I have the camera settings to capture at 1080/60i.  I burn to regular DVD, not blueray.  Can you please tell me what the easy setup should be in FCP? Once I'm finished editing in FCP, I output to QT movie and then into iDVD.  

    Click on one of the ingest camera files in the FCP Browser. Once it is selected, type Command + 9 to see the properties for the clip. Either report those properties here or take a screen shot of the item properties and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those settings here or take a screen shot of your Sequence Settings and post that screen shot here.

  • Best "Easy Setup" for AVCHD .mts files

    I'm on a MacBook Pro in 10.5.8 with FCP 7, all footage is shot by a Canon HF S100 at 1920x1080 60i. Is there a best way to set up the Easy Setup for the AVCHD files?
    I currently have it as:
    Format: (all)
    Rate: (all rates)
    Use: Custom Setup
    Sequence Preset: HDV 1080i60
    Capture Preset: HDV Apple ProRes 422
    Device Control: non-controllable device
    Video Playback: none
    Audio Playback: Default.
    Is there a better way to do it than this?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Yup,
    It costs but it's supposed to be very worth it on saved time and trouble.
    http://www.clipwrap.com
    From the website:
    rewraps - doesn't transcode
    ClipWrap rewraps the video samples from your existing m2t, mts, m2ts files without re-encoding them. This means blazingly fast convert speeds and no image degradation.
    Transcodes too!
    Need your files in ProRes, AIC, DNxHD or DVCProHD? ClipWrap can seamlessly convert your files. Don't worry about frame size changes, gamma shifts, or any of the other problems resulting from mismatched settings - ClipWrap chooses all those based on the source file's format.
    Automatic format detection
    ClipWrap speaks your camera's language so you don't have to. It automatically parses the file's format and chooses the proper output format, so there's no hassle trying to determine the proper settings (frame rate, image size, gamma levels, etc).
    Full timecode support
    Timecode is recreated in the new QuickTime movie, so you can recapture from tape later if necessary.
    Supports HDV and AVCHD formats
    Now you're not limited to specific HDV or AVCHD cameras, you can rest assured your files will be compatible with FCP when it comes time to edit.

  • INGESTED DVCPRO HD FOOTAGE IN WRONG "EASY SETUP" - HELP!

    OK, this falls under the heading: Just plain stupid. Nevertheless, now I am looking for a fix. I'm new to HD. I shot a short film with a Panasonic HVX-200. I was not going to have to do the post-production and would periodically load the footage into FCP as it was shot just to see how it looked. Then it turned out, I was asked to edit it under a tight deadline. However, when I ingested the footage into FCP I never changed the easy setup. The editing is now done and I wish to output to Digi Beta. But I now see the sequence settings are set for CCIR 601 NTSC! Is there a way to "undo" this and put in the proper setting? Or is the only way to re-ingest and re-edit? This is embarassing. But, hey, we all have to learn. Maybe publishing my error will save someone else down the road! Thanks for any help.

    That's very interesting to learn that 601 NTSC is the proper setting for Digibeta. I didn't know that. Here are the exact current sequence settings:
    Frame Size: 720 x 486. Aspect Ratio: CCIR 601 (40:27)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV 720 x 480
    Field Dominance: Lower (Even)
    Editing Timebase 29.97
    QuickTime Video Settings:
    Compressor: Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2
    Quality: 100%
    Audio: 48Khz, 24-bit
    Config: default
    I shot in DVCPRO HD 720p60
    Gosh, I'm trying to remember if I had to render the footage as I dropped it into the timeline. I didn't think so. But now I can't swear to it.
    I guess I have (at least) 2 questions: (1) Is there a way to "revert" to the HD format for this sequence now that it's edited? (2) Do I even want to do that if I want to output to digibeta print? What's the best thing to do to obtain a maximum quality digibeta print?
    By the way, I just heard this week that the film was accepted into a film festival, so I'm under a dead line to deliver a print, preferrably in digibeta or beta sp format.
    Would greatly appreciate any help. And thanks for the welcome to the forums!

  • Working with Pixel Dimensions and HDV Presets in Easy Setup

    hi there, i’ve got another question...
    i am still learning the in and out’s of hdv capture. I wanted to verify that the easy setup HDV 1080i plugin is what I want to use for import for my HDV footage which was shot with a Sony A1U HDV camera. I believe it was recorded at 1920x1080 and the imported quicktime file says it is imported at 1440 x1080(and in parentheses it says 1888x1062)..why does the HDV 1080i FCP preset not import at the same frame rate as it was recorded at….?
    also does a Sony FX1 use the same HDV preset at the A1U?
    many thanks
    adam

    Tom,
    You’re right, …again!
    Up till now, I really thought that I had true HD coming out of this camera; shame on me! It really does look good.
    I’ve browsed the specs of my Canon HV30 User’s manual, and no where does video say 1920x1080; only 1080i ! That’s why when I ingest and capture using ProRes 422HQ, I only see the 1440x1080 Browser frame size.
    (Still images from this camera do produce a 1920x1080 and 2048x1536 sizes)
    Let me ask your opinion and that of anyone else out there.
    If I were to use video from this camera, and move up to an external BluRay burner and player, ……would I achieve better looking DVD video quality than what I’m currently seeing when burning DVD’s using iDVD-Best Performance and playing back on a standard def (upscaling) DVD player ?
    And if not, which consumer camcorder would you recommend that DOES provide true 1920x1080 for capturing into FCP, and costs under $1000 !
    Thanks
