SONY EX1 and Cannon 5D together on same timeline?

Hello
Need to edit EX1 and Cannon 5D footage on same timeline - both 1080p 30fps. What is best timeline? Pro Res 422? I know how to import SONY EX1 footage, but how to import/convert/edit 5D, and on same timeline as EX1 footage? Using FCP 7 latest.
Also, anything to watch out for, be aware of using these two together?
Thanks much
K

Convert both to ProRes. Or you can keep the XDCAM native, but convert the 5D to ProRes and use a ProRes timeline. 1080p 29.97 ProRes timeline.
DO NOT edit the native H.264 Canon files. FCP will choke.

  • Sony EX1 and OnLocation

    I just purchased the Sony EX1 and am wanting to do some On Location filming. Does anyone know if there are any compatibility issues with this cam as there were in Premiere Pro CS3 before the 3.2 update? Also, I understand OnLocation on a laptop is for firewire. What would be required to record SDI output from the EX1? What to record to? Besides ofcourse mucho bucks. Thanks for any input. Dorian

    At least 4 SATA disks in a raid0 configuration or better, a wall outlet for the necessary juice, and a new version of OL.

  • The Sony EX1 and CS3!

    Has anybody here edited with Sony EX1 footage? Is it better to edit in CS3 and Prospect or CS4 native? People who have tried either way might share their experiences. Thank you.

    I've edited hours and hours of the stuff in CS3 native. The 3.2 update adds support for XDCAM EX.
    The trial versions (CS3 or 4) will not have this support as the MPEG 2 decoder is not included in trial versions. Adobe would have to pay for the MPEG 2 license for each downloaded trial version. Full versions of CS3 and CS4 have support for XDCAM EX natively.

  • Importing Sony EX1 and F3 files

    wouldn't it be a nice thing if we didn't have to stumble around begging for help when we go into a new application, I feel I need a white cane and a dog right now with FCPX.....Whatever happened to manuals?
    So can I import files from my Sony EX1-R and the Sony PMW F3 directly or do they first have to run through Sony's XDCam Transfer?....Thanks!

    Hi Mark, yes I have imported media from FCP Studio to FCPX, just to see if it would work, and it does. But frankly when I've got the work loaded and started in Studio I just stay there. I haven't done any serious editing yet in FPX, but what I have done, ( when I can get the media to load ), has been ok.
    For now and for me though the "paying work" stays in Studio. That works, I'm familiar with it and I haven't had the time to re-learn editing using FPCX. I'm hoping Tom, ( Tom Wolsky ), has a FCPX book in the pipeline that will be yet another of his excellent guides to these Apple programmes......Do you Tom?
    Regarding your question as to whether I've seen any weird effects on some FCPX images I have found in the past with FCP or Avid that it's best to output any part of your edit that exhibits any "weirdness" to finished format and then check it, most times the moraying or strobing goes away on final output.
    If you are working in FCP Studio on a MacPro with a Kona or similar card then of course you can use a reference broadcast monitor to check to see if any aberrations will be on your final output too.....I don't think we can do that yet using FCPX, (?).

  • What to do with one 25i and one 25p file in same Timeline???

    Hey!
    I was bothering you with questions of how do I put 30p and 25i footage together, but things have changed. [i]HUNTREX and ANN BENS, thanx a bunch for your help)[/i]
    Canon released new Firmware for its 5D MkII camera, so I can shoot 25p and 24p... But now the problem is still there!
    Now I have Interlaced and Progressive footage to put together!!!!
    I also decided to get Cineform NEOSCENE which converts both MPEG-2 from my Sony FX-1 HDV camcorder and AVCHD (H.264) from Canon 5D into CINEFORM-AVI...
    So, to avoid mixing formats in codec part - I ended up with those AVIs!
    So for the first time yesterday I imported AVI-s made by NEOSCENE from both my FX-1 25fps (1080i) Sony camcorder and my 5D MkII 25fps progressive (1080p) into my PREMIERE PRO..
    Little difference in Contrast (Canon is better!!!) - but now I am left with NEW PROBLEM!!!
    I have, ergo, one Cineform-AVI, which is INTERLACED, and the other Cineform-AVI which is PROGRESSIVE (both 25 fps)...
    ]Which Preset to choose in PPRO?
    I tried with Sony's XDCAM EX 1080 25i preset - but then the Progressive material seems to have lot of flickering... Not to mention that both have YELLOW LINE above in Timeline - meaning it is not the Preset for those files, but it seems to be my best choice (regarding resolution and FPS)!
    ]Now, HOW TO HANDLE THOSE TWO FILES ON TIMELINE - One 25i, the other 25p?
    Do I deinterlace the 25i or do something else with 25p? How? Any Tricks?
    What would you do?
    And what preset would you use????
    Hope you'll be able to help me with this one!:)
    V.

    Hello again!
    If it were me, I would deinterlace the 25i footage and keep the project progressive. But it does really depend on what your final output requires.
    Little difference in Contrast (Canon is better!!!)
    Try using Premiere's color correction tools (fast color corrector, curves, etc.) for that.
    I tried with Sony's XDCAM EX 1080 25i preset - but then
    the Progressive material seems to have lot of flickering.
    Did you try interlacing the footage (Right click on clip, select "field options", and check "interlace consecutive frames")?

  • Best way to work with interlaced and progressive clips in the same timeline

    I´m shooting with Sony MC-50E camera in 1920x1080, 50i. When importing with Log & Transfer I can work with ProRes 422 files in interlaced mode. I have to mix the footage with video screencapture which is progressive (ProRes 422). The final videos are for web only so it should end up as progressive H264 videos. I´m getting good result if exporting to H264, 1024x576 with deinterlacing enabled, but exporting to full HD gives typical interlaced lines in the picture. How can I avoid this and what is the best solution for working with both interlaced and progressive clips?

    Deinterlace in Compressor using Frame Controls, Best settings. You can reconnect the deinterlaced files to your project, if you've already edited, but you may need to copy and paste the clips in your sequence to a new 25p timeline, then Remove Attributes, Basic Motion.
    When you're ready to export your sequence, use Quicktime Movie, Current Settings, Self-contained. Take that file to Compressor to transcode back to h.264.
    The Apple T.V. preset is very good.

  • HDV and DVCPro HD in the same timeline???

    If I want to mix 720p footage from both HDV and DVCPro HD (from the JVC HD100 and Panasonic HVX200 respectively), what timeline preset should I set it for: 720p30 HDV or 720p30 DVCPro HD? If I set it for HDV 720p30, will this mess up the DVCPro HD?

    Create a DVCPro HD timeline, then drop HDV onto it. You will need to render the timeline with the HDV footage to play it smoothly, but it will save you rendering all your footage, even if you are not going to use it.
    Rendering all your HDV into DVCPro will require a lot more storage if you captured it as native HDV or about the same amount of storage if you used Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) HDV.
    Even if it does play back smoothly (using RT extreme or whatever) you should force render the timeline, to make sure of the look of HDV rendered in DVC Pro HD meets your requirements.

  • 16-Bit and 24-Bit audio in same timeline

    Will be working with DV-NTSC video in FCP 5.1.4
    The dialogue is 24-Bit. All my music and SFX are 16-Bit.
    I do not want to convert all my files to 24-Bit.
    I know it is best to remain consistent, but I want to know if anyone has experienced problems specifically from mixing the two different bit rates within the same sequence.
    Audio quality is not the issue. This is off-line editing only. Will not be using the digitized audio as final. Will only be providing EDL's.
    Specifically want to know if anyone has experienced and reasonably believes that mixing 16 and 24 in same sequence will create technical difficulties.
    Jeff

    Interestingly enough they are not all 48K. The music & FX are 44.1K.
    I have heard this before that you should avoid mixing 44.1 and 48K.
    However when I heard this I had already been mixing the two rates for years without problem.
    I have always mixed these without problem yet. Can I ask why it is best to avoid this ? What is it that you are asking FCP & Computer to do which will create problems ? What are the problems which can be caused by mixing 44 & 48 ?
    Thanks for your reply

  • Beginner question: can i have 16x9 and 4x3 footage on the same timeline?

    Hi,
    I am assembling a highlight promo reel for somebody and i have 16x9 and 4x3 footage. not sure what to do or which footage to convert, since i need them both for the promo. any suggestions would be appreciated, or please direct me to a past discussion.
    thank you
    -shelby

    If the majority of your footage is 4:3 work in a Timeline that is 4:3.
    Your 16:9 footage will letterbox automatically to fit with black bars at top and bottom.
    You could also cache the 4:3 material with the Widescreen filter to fake a 16:9 look.
    If the majority is 16:9, use a 16:9 Timeline. Your 4:3 footage will pillarbox -black bars at left and right.
    You could fill that area in by placing a copy of the 4:3 above itself on the Timeline. Enlarge and blur the lower layer to give your clip a complimentary "border". Simply blowing up 4:3 video to fit a 16:9 Timeline will make it look horrible.

  • Macbook and ipad do not show same inbox messages

    I have a Macbook Pro and Ipad sitting together getting same strong wireless, connected to same email account, etc. yet new messages are flowing into the macbook but no new messages have showed up on the same account on the ipad for the past 3 hours, despite "Checking for Mail" all the time. Why?  I want to get messages on both so I can take ipad out to read and such, not big laptop, also to send messages to myself.  I expect the same messages to be shown and basically at the same time.
    Is there any message size or attachement limit on ipad Mail that is not present on the macbook pro?
    Thanks

    Has the email account on your iPad ever worked at all. It seems as though you might have a problem with the email settings on the iPad. You may have the incoming mail server settings set up incorrectly.
    However, if you have used the email account in the mail app on the iPad and this is a new behavior, try a couple of simple things first.
    Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • 720p and 1080i in same timeline FCP 5.1.4?

    I've tried to find an answer to this in the discussions, but no luck, so I hope this hasn't been asked a million times before.
    Can I edit 720p and 1080i files in the same timeline? If yes great! On to the next question.
    Once I complete the edits, how should I output the final cut - in 720p or in 1080i? And if the answer is 1080i do I need to upres the720p and how do I do that?
    I have FCP 5.1.4.
    Thanks!

    Can I edit 720p and 1080i files in the same timeline?
    In FCP 5.1.4? No, not without rendering one. Sequence settings match one codec, so anything else will need to be rendered. FCP 6 solved this..open timeline is available. It also automatically sets the sequence to match the settings of the first clip dropped into it.
    If yes great!
    sorry.
    Once I complete the edits, how should I output the final cut - in 720p or in 1080i?
    Depends...what is your delivery requirement? What do you have more footage of...720 or 1080?

  • 7D/1080 and HPX170/24Pn together?

    I'm going to do a 2-camera shoot with a 7D and a Panny HPX170. I want the native 24P of the Panny but the 7D only shots 24P in 1080. Can I shoot with these two disparate settings and still edit on the same timeline in FPCX?
    I have to say the handling of the vast array of formats by the new Final Cut impresses me, but can it do this?

    Sounds good. Thanks.
    On further thinking, tho, I should also ask if this is the best way to combine the product of these two cameras?
    I'm actually borrowing a friend's 170 and in doing some testing I did some side-by-sides, out-putted that from a timeline for playing through iTunes on my (Apple) TV. The 170's 1080 footage was inCREDibly...gosh, what's the word?...interlace-y. Just shooting a person a la interview-situation and capturing their minor side-to-side motion while seatred resulted in a strangely high degree of horizontal video scan lines. Ergo I figured it best to keep the 170 at 720 to utilize the native progressive (and the 7D only shoots 24P in 1080).
    Thoughts?

  • Sony PMW-EX1 and FCS  2 - any issues?

    After being hooked by the Creative Cow on the Sony PMW EX1, and then doing some more research on the Prosumer camcorder, I'm really interested in this unit. Cost appears to be about the same as the Panasonic AG-HVX200 $5800 or so. But what I like most is the true 1920 x 1080 resolution the Sony provides.
    BUT, heard some rumors that the Sony doesn't get along so well with FCS 2 ?
    Opinion most welcome.
    Thanks, Rob.

    Hi Rob,
    although this post is answered, I have some feedback on ex 1 cam. I am in Australia and have had the camera for around one month. I have shot some footage around town but only on 35mb vbr setting as i don't want to water down quality.
    the camera is very heavy in the hand but no real issues. onscreen histogram helpful too. i played out footage to local tv station camerapeople and they were very impressed. i did this on a bravia 3100 full hd set by component hd in(btw) very little artifacts on movement.
    On capture though it is a little bit of a leg exercise to bring stuff into fcp6.02. You must have all latest software 6.02 installed and sony transfer software etc.
    I tried usb from camera to mac pro and it is very(too) slow. on my mbpro i used express slot and it is very fast and easy.
    Therefore if you have both mbp and mp comps you should target you mac pro into MBP and then capture direct from SxS card to your capture scratch folder which is very fast.
    THIS WILL BE A POPULAR FIX AND SAVES BUYING A CARD READER(V.EXPENSIVE)
    Of course if you don't have a MBP, you are in the clag, so to speak.
    I am really surprised these cameras are not available freely yet.
    cheers

  • Can i install windows 7 and OS X together on the same Mac Book Pro?

    can i install windows 7 and OS X together on the same Mac Book Pro?

    You can do it either using Boot Camp or by running a virtual machine, such as Parallels Desktop (which I use) or VMFusion. I prefer the VM method, as I don't have to reboot using the handful of Windows applications that I use. And I can access my Windows apps just as I do my Mac apps - copy and paste between them, etc.
    I just upgraded from Parallels 7 to 8 and I'm quite happy with it, running Mountain Lion on a late 2011 MBP with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. I also have a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display and there are no problems with video drivers, etc.
    If I were you - unless I needed every inch of performance that running Boot Camp can bring - I'd go with a VM to run Windows. I can attest to the functionality of Parallels - perhaps others with experience with other VMs will chime in.
