Shot on 35mm... want to edit in 1080... which tape medium should I use?

Hello.
Just shot a music video on 35mm. My plan is to use a different workflow than I usually do, but I need a bit of coaching. I normally downconvert from film, and go to a finishing house to do an online.
But now that I've gotten better with Color, I want to do the color correction and finishing myself.
My question is this:
When I do the telecine, would it be best for me to do a flat pass so that I have the most latitude to work with?
I plan on cutting uncompressed HD- preferably 1080. Which medium of tapestock should I transfer to? HDcam? D5? remember that I have to rent a deck to import this footage.
Lastly, I've never imported footage of this high resolution before. Should I just use a firewire input, or would that further compress the footage?
Thanks,
Enzo

I also have a 2.33 core 2 duo laptop w/ 2g ram. I assume there is no way to hook up the s2vrhd or the capture card to my laptop... right?
Sorry Athen, you are wrong here. CalDigit makes an Express 32 eSATA card, so it will work. BUT, it won't work with UNCOMPRESSED HD. Laptops still can't do that.
But the S2VR HD has issues with PCI-X Macs...sometime one of the drives just goes offline, or the unit unmounts unexpectedly. These issues don't happen on the PCIe machines. This might not be the best unit for you. I have not issues with the S2VR Duo...but that can't handle uncompressed HD. Hmm. Sonnet 500P?
Melrose Mac is a good place. Not sure if they carry CalDigit.
The only capture card that will work with your laptop will be the MXO. Although, it neither captures, nor is it a card. But it is the only one that works with the laptop. But, it doesn't capture, so that won't work. Kona LH would be your best bet for capturing D5 or HDCAM SR as DVCPRO HD.

    Hi Suny152,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You shouldn’t have any issues using the Transform tool in the Video Inspector to resize your RED footage from 4K to 2K.  This workflow is described on pages 13-14 of the
    RED Workflows with Final Cut Pro X White Paper
    https://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/docs/RED_Workflows_with_Final_Cut_Pro_X.pdf
    In the Transform section of the Video inspector, use the Scale slider to adjust the frame size of the selected clips as appropriate for the new project frame size.
    These kinds of aesthetic changes don’t degrade image quality, because Final Cut Pro X operates on the original 4K or 5K frame, not on the resized 2K or 1080 frame.
    Cheers!
    Judy

  • Shot video/Android Smartphone. Want to edit/Youtube. Can Premiere Edit?

    Shot video on Android Smartphone. Can't view on MS Windows 8. MS store says you can't play back a Android video on Windows 8. Seems rediculous in this day and age. Want to edit for Youtube video. Does Premiere Pro CC handle this? JR

    I am only another user, but from reading a LOT of forum messages...
    Premiere is designed to work with "real" video from a "real" camera... editing telephone video is very much in the "added... might work, might not work well" category
    3gp is listed as a supported format (The PPro tutorial list in message #3 http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276578 has a link to the user guide PDF to download for easy searching) but that does not always mean that it will edit "easily or very well" in actual practice... especially of your specific cell phone video uses a variable frame rate (the iphone uses vfr and does NOT edit in Premiere without extra work)
    Try with your specific video and see what happens

    Hi expert,
    The requirement is to make the Description field editable. However, the container for the dynpro only appears to allow for a certain type of action and is essentially used to display the Line Item details, giving no option to change the Line Item Description.
    so i want to editable in this description field  in my web dynpro application  /SAPSRM/WDC_DOTC_PC_I_BD .
    Kindly give me soulation ASAP.
    Thanks and Regard's.

    Thanks for the reply.
    The name of the view is V_PC_DOTC_ITM on which we have the records. On each line item there is a description field which is of type (LinkToAction). I want to enable user so that it can change the Description text (I will handle the action). Also, if you have any idea about updating the database table from here as it needs to be updated in BBP_PCPOS table.

  • Hi please can you help me. I have photoshop CS5 extended, I bought a new camera Nikon D610 I want to edit my photos adobe camera raw , but when I try to open photoshop CS5 it will not open. Please can you tell me how to download and install the camera raw

    HI bought a new camera Nikon D610 , I am using adobe photoshop CS5 extended, I want to edit my photos in camera raw but it is not possible to do so . I need to download camera raw plugin for CS5 can some tell me how to do so or if there is a link for the camera plugin.
    Many thanks Pitt.

    For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC.  Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version  6.7

  • I have a band video that I want to edit. In iMove 09, I could clip to crop or add a transition or both without altering the audio. In iMovie 11, the audio lower or drops out when I clip for and use a transtion. Is there a setting to preven this?

    Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

  • Calendar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date.

    Calenndar - when I want to edit a monthly recurring event but only for one month I am no longer given the box to update only that date month.  How do I do this with the new operating system?

    Adding to Alan's answer:
    One of the problems that comes with these tricks for variable-rate acquisition is being able to match up sample data with the time that it was sampled. 
    If you weren't using either of E-series board's counters, there is a nifty solution to this!  You'll be using 1 of the counters to generate the variable-rate sampling clock.  You can then use the 2nd counter to perform a buffered period measurement on the output of the 1st counter.  This gives you a hw-timed measurement of every sampling interval.  You would need to keep track of a cumulative sum of these periods to generate a hw-accurate timestamp value for each sample.
    Note:  the very first buffered period measurement is the time from starting the 2nd counter until the first active edge from the 1st.  For your app, you should ignore it.

  • //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand? um which line?

    Several of my pages are locking up and I don't know why. As I work through the code, I remembered that I altered some text in a SendEmail by directly altering the page rather than using the Server Behavior. Don't understand why that would matter but whatever...
    Now as I ponder if that is causing the problem, I ran across this commented line in the code:
    //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand
    But are they talking about the line just after that line of //remove or do they mean the actual comment line of
    //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand?

  • I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    *1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    *2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    *3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    *4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    *5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
