Should Sony camera that shoots 24p with 3:2 pulldown be captured at 29.97 fps ?

I have a Sony HVR-V1u that can shoot hdv 24p and dv 24p. I read somewhere if a camcorder records 24p with a 3:2 pulldown you should capture at 29.97 fps. Adode support say I should match the presets in Premiere with my camera settings. Can anyone advise?

"When using the “24p scan” setting, captured images are recorded
as 60i through means of 2-3 pull-down conversion."
Maybe you misunderstood what I intended to say: AFAIK there is no camera that adjusts tapespeed to reflect the recording mode. Sure there are cameras that are truly progressive, but that does not mean that tapespeed is reduced by 20% . The mechanism would be too expensive and error prone.

Import only jpg files from a camera that shoots RAW+jpg?

Is there a way to import only jpg files from a camera that shoots both RAW+jpg? I only want the small jpgs copied, not the RAW file. I have the USB adapter and am about to go on vacation and wanted to use my iPad to upload pictures to Facebook on the go so I am going to shoot on my Canon 5D in RAW+jpg. All I want to copy to the iPad are the jpg files. Is there a way to only copy one?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) 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?
I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.

Looking for a retail available camera that is compatible with FMLE

I am looking for a retail available camera that is compatible with FMLE. I do not have a computer with HDMI input, and in the past, I have typically ran with a USB connection. Does anyone know of a camera that is available at a local retail store that would work with FMLE through a USB connection?

Webcams will work, although they may not give you the flexibility that you're looking for with a more traditional "camera".
You may be more interested in looking at a converter/digitizer -- something that can take a variety of inputs and pull those into your computer as a a video source that your computer, and FMLE, sees as a "camera".
Look at this page: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/flashmediaencoder/devicematrix.html
You'll see a variety of webcams, capture cards, cameras, and other devices that are known to work with FMLE. Most of those solutions, however, require the installation of a card or require that you have Thunderbolt connections or FireWire connections. Not on that list is the Dazzle line of digitizers. I know several people who use Dazzles with FMLE -- and while each one seems to have issues that you have to be aware of, they do work (some better than others). As long as you're aware of the issues, it's not a problem working with these devices -- and they're pretty inexpensive. The Dazzle Video Creator Platinum seems to have the least amount of problems (the only real problem that I'm aware of is that you have to be sure to disable your preview windows in FMLE if you want to make changes to the source settings -- or it will crash FMLE. But, once you get your settings in place you can enable the preview windows again and don't have to worry about it). The great thing about a digitizer is that you can now use any camera that can output to standard composite cables (the yellow, red, and white 'RCA' cables -- or SVideo cable). So your camera selection possabilities increase greatly.
If you're looking for a standalone camera that can deliver a live video feed through USB -- good luck. I'm sure they're out there, but your choices are going to be very limited.
Personally, I use the Canopus ADVC110 -- which allows me to hook up any camera (or even a playback deck/DVR/DVD player, etc.) that can output composite (RCA) or FireWire or S-Video. The ADVC110 will not work for you, as you need FireWire to hook up to your computer, but just in case you do have FireWire I can tell you that it is a stellar box with no issues at all.

Looking for a sports video camera that is compatible with the mac

Looking for a video camera that can record sports well and is also compatible with the mac. I've been using iMovie to edit videos for a highlight reel of my highschool soccer games that I coach.

I like Sony HD MiniDV (HDV) Handycam Camcorder - HDRFX1000, but I have also used several older Sony (DCR-TRV17 and DCR-TRV70) and Canon (VIXIA HV20, VIXIA HV30, and VIXIA HV40) tape-based Firewire-equipped camcorders with good results.
I prefer tape-based Firewire-equipped cameras because of their IEEE 1394 transfer speed, compatibility with iMovie HD, and ability to serve as the source recording directly into iMovie when desired. If none of these characteristics is important to you, other Mac-compatible camcorders with suitable zoom ranges and lens speeds for the light levels you encounter should also do nicely for recording at your games.
You do not say which iMovie version you are using, but you can find about known compatible camcorders by searching for the info in a search like this one.

Can recommend a slim/mini video camera that is compatible with FCE ?

I have some technical problem.
My video camera is too big in size to film in between spaces. My friend has build a model of a few cluster of flats. He wants me to help him film the spaces between the flats from the bird's eye perspective. By bird's eye perspective, he meant to say he wants me to record what the bird can see if the bird fly surrounding the flats & between the flats & then make turns surrounding the buildings.
My present video is too bulky to squeeze into those small models.
I think the only way is to purchase a video camera that is so slim like a shape if pencil so that it can go in between the blocks.
Where can I buy this ? Will this type of video (if exist) records video in good quality & compatible with FCE4 ?
Thanks

Hi(Bonjour)!
You should look in Radio-Controled airplane model equipment. There are mini camera that mount on the model and broadcast the video on the air to a receiver that can be connected to a camcorder. You can connect them on any VCR
See example:

Cameras that are compatible with MacBook

I have the Aluminum MacBook, just upgraded from a Black model..
Im looking to buy a cheapo camcorder to use with it...
anyone know of a camera that takes decent footage and will connect to the macbook via USB?
Mino Flip perhaps? Thanks.

camera that takes decent footage
That depends on what you mean by "decent footage".
USB camcorders use formats that use high compression to store the video files thereby lowering quality. This may be good enough to give you "decent footage" if so, then you won't have a problem using a USB camcorder. However I have never been happy with the quality that a USB camcorder provides (they always look grainy to me).
A miniDV tape cam will give you _lossless quality video_ and is best for any editing purposes (iMovie, Final Cut etc.). So without Firewire make sure you get a chance to try out any USB camcorder before you buy.
Having a tape cam also allows you to always safely keep your original footage, plus make a tape copy of your finished movie by exporting from iMovie HD6 back to your cam. Tapes are far more reliable long term storage media, if stored properly, than any DVD or hard drive will ever be.

Premiere CS4 and HV30 (HDV 1080i 24p with 2-3 pulldown scheme)

Hi,
I am currently capturing video shot with an HV30. The footage was shot in HDV PF24 mode along with the CINE MODE selected. The results look great but I am wondering about the frame rate being reported per clip in CS4.
The project was setup using the HDV 1080p24 preset but I am guessing that could be wrong. I didn't see an HDV 1080i 24p preset but probably should have created one. The clips are showing in the bin as 29.97 and not showing 23.97 like the Sequence. I know the camera recorded the 24p in a 60i wrapper but I thought the preset would have covered that. When I select interpret footage the remove pulldown isn't available.
Is there anything I should have done differently? or is there anything I need to do at all?
I have shot with the HV20 and CS3 in the past without this being a problem.
ideas? or kind pushes in the right direction :)
Thanks
-Ken

I am not sure about PAL. I can tell you I am not having sync issues with my setup.
I will try the HDV 60i preset. Does anyone else have input about the HV30? I would be interested in hearing what others have experienced with the camera and CS4 or CS3 for that matter.
Thanks
-Ken

Sony HX5V camera that shoots in either MPEG4 or AVCHD MTS2.

I have the above camera which i want to make DVD's for TV watching but i am unsure which format to use i.e. AVCHD mts2 or MPEG4 the latter i am told imports directly into iMovie which i want to use and then iDVD. Please can you advise which to use and what i need before importing into iMovie, i have skysoft video convertor ? will this work or do i need something or should i just shoot in MPEG4 then iDVD to make it playable on TV

With this camera, it is supported by both iMovie 11 and even iMovie 09, so there is no need to do any conversion before importing, no matter which mode you shoot.
In general, I would recommend that you use the AVCHD 1920x1080 if your concern is getting the highest quality and editing a movie.
If your concern is not the highest quality, but getting something on a DVD or the internet quickly and with minimal editing, I would choose one of the MP4 settings.
When you make a DVD, everything will be converted to 640x480 anyway, because all DVDs are standard definition, but you may want to post some HD online or watch on your computer or Apple TV.
You can always convert a high quality movie to a lower resolution, but you cannot convert a low quality movie to a higher resolution later, so my bias is to always shoot at the highest qualtity.
More from a quick google search:
The Sony HX5V has five movie modes. For the highest quality, it offers AVCHD recording at 1920 x 1080 and 60 fields per second. There is also a 1440 x 1080 AVCHD mode which may sound like a 4:3 aspect ratio, but is actually a subsampled 16:9 mode. AVCHD captures more detail and records smoother movement while minimizing file size.
But you can also record video in MP4 mode at 1440 x 1080, 1280 x 720 or 640 x 480, all at 30 fps.
Source: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/HX5V/HX5VA.HTM
Video Resolution : AVCHD: 1920 x 1080 (59.94i, Interlace) (Approx.17Mbps) / 1440 x 1080 (59.94i, Interlace) (Approx.9Mbps) MP4: 1440 x 1080 (29.97fps, Progressive) (Approx.12Mbps) / 1280x720 (29.97fps, Progressive) (Approx.6Mbps) / VGA (640 x 480) (29.97fps, Progressive) (Approx.3Mbps)

Gps cameras that work automatically with places in iPhoto?

I'm looking to buy a new compact camera with gps. Does anybody know if there are any that work with the places feature automatically? i just want to be able to plug the camera in and have places work without needing 3rd party software/plugins to convert the information first.

There are several - I use Sony and have an Alpha A55 and a DSC HX5V - both work perfectly (note that any GPS takes time to acquire a signal so sometimes photos get the wrong location - your previous location - and have to be corrected in iPhoto)
and both of our iPhones add GPS of course (sometimes that is helpful in correct locations from teh camera - because of the WiFi and 3G in addition to GPS the phone is usually quicker to acquire the correct location)
In general any GPS enabled camera shoudl work just fine

Help.Looking for a new HD/ mini DV camera that will work with FCP ExpressHD

I just bought a imac with final cut express HD and am looking to buy a new HD/mini DV camera for under $900.00 that i will have no problems with my mac.I was looking at the Sony-HDR-HC3 HD mini which i found for $700.00 and that seemed pretty good.Does any one have any suggestions??I would greatly appreciate it.

When you say no problems with your Mac are you aware of the workflow difficulties editing HDV? e.g monitoring via external HD monitor is an expensive option, burning HD DVD's similarly so.
However this cam has an HDMI out to enable you to connect to your HDTV to view your recorded content, so if you can live with monitoring through your computer for editing, this is a decent camera for the $$'s.
A friend of mine has a Sony DCR-HC96 and is pleased with the larg(ish) single CCD, giving improved low light capabilities over other domestic miniDV camcorders.
At around $500, it is a miniDV alternative worthy of consideration, if more suitable for your budget without the HDV editing headaches.
It depends whether you really need/want HDV rather than SD and what your final output requirements are.
Good Luck, Dave

Movie camera that plays well with iPad. Thanks!

I'm looking to buy my 10 year old, Spielberg obsessed, movie maker/director a camera for Christmas. I want something that she can use with my iPad or iMac with iMovie. She's fairly tech savvy and focused. Not sure what I will spend, but I'm keeping in mind that this is a ten year old. Honestly, she'd be happy with an old super 8 if I could figure out how to edit something like that. She just loves writing, directing and shooting stories. Thanks for your recommendations.

Mac & iMovie compatible and perfect size for a tech savvy 10 year old: Canon VIXIA mini
The only way I can use my camcorders with iMovie for iPad involves downloading from camcorder to Mac and then syncing the clips to iPad. Perhaps there is a more direct way, but I cannot find one. Moving the clips to iPad for editing in iMovie for iPad seems like wasted effort to me to be no need to do that because my Mac already has iMovie for editing video clips, and Mac iMovie is easier to use for more complex edits.
The only reason I now use my iMovie for iPad is to edit clips that I record directly on my iPad. That works fine. If your iPad is iPad II or later, just letting her record directly to iPad with iMovie for iPad may be a good choice unless you KNOW you want her to have a separate camcorder.

So i am new to the Mac world, and just purchase a Macbook pro. I have a new Sony camera that i wanted to upload the software onto my Mac. Its a CD of the Sony editing picture program. I put the cd in the side slot, but how do i download and use it?

I need to figure out how to put this Sony cd picture program onto my Mac for my new camera. Im used to a PC, where it pops up and you download and can just click the icon and open the program. I have no idea where to find it or how to download it to my mac! help!

First, find out if the disc contains software for Mac OS X also, or only for Windows. This should be indicated in the camera user guide, or on the disc label. If it doesn't explicitly say it's for Mac OS X, then you have nothing to install (except possibly the camera's user guide in PDF format). You may try Sony's tech support site to find out if there is any Mac OS X software you can download. The camera's user guide or 'Get Started' doc should have this info also.

I have a Macbook Pro (w/built-in camera) that I use with a cinema display (with no camera) - can I use an iSight?

I'm running 10.6.8 on a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro. The laptop has a built-in camera in the frame, but I want to do Skype and such when I've got the laptop plugged into my 23" Cinema Display. Trouble is it's an older Cinema Display, and it doesn't have a built-in camera.
If I buy an external camera (iSight or whatever), can I configure it to function as my video-conference camera when the laptop is closed and connected to the Cinema Display? If so, how?
Thanks for any answers.

Check YouTube's "How To" tutorials for what you want to do. Hopefully, it's possible.
Another thing you can do is to check with the webcam's manufacturer (the webcam you are interested in purchasing) to confirm it will do what you want.
