Sony "HVR-V1U" 24p editing

i am thinking of getting the new sony 24p camera and want to know about FCP settings. i understand there is an HDV setting and a 24p setting. Which will i use? I want to use 24p for the look only. i will not edit in a 24p timeline or export to DVD 24 or film.
thanks, jim

I have shot with the XL H1 at 24F and 60i. I can tell you I get a better image with 60i. You lose 20% of your quality when you go 24F, because it isn't really shooting progressive, but a FAKE (must be what the F stands for) progressive...losing lines of resolution to make the video full frames and not interlaced fields.
BUT...that being said, the footage still looked VERY nice, and not overly stuttery (don't set your shutter too high or it will). But, I also had issues with the camera in post. Final Cut Pro would not see it. The computer did, it was in the System Profiler. But FCP wouldn't see the deck, not matter what HDV setting I chose. I tried it on my laptop, and FCP saw it, controlled the camera, but wouldn't import the footage. iMovie HD saw it...but what is the point of that? No timecode.
I did eventually end up capturing with my Kona LH as DVCPRO HD, which is what I would normally do, but I wanted to test HDV footage.
But the camera is $9000. And it is HDV. For $9000 I can get an HVX-200 camera and two P2 cards and shoot in a MUCH BETTER format, DVCPRO HD.
No experience with the Sony...

  • FCP 6 and Sony HVR-V1U 24p; can't remove 3:2 pulldown or convert to 24 fps

    Hi, all, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I recently purchased a Sony HVR-V1U HD camera that has a native 24p setting (using 60i with 3:2 pulldown to store on miniDV tape).
    I have just started experimenting with pulling footage off this camera into Final Cut Pro (6.0.3), and am having some problems getting things to work using log-and-capture. Specifically, it seems I can either choose the ProRes 422 setting and effectively use a "capture now" capturing method--which gets me native 24 (or 23.98 if 24pa is used) frames per second--or I can use the 60i setup--which gets me the standard log-and-capture window where I can actually log my clips, but brings them in at 29.97 fps.
    I would make due with the 60i setting since that allows me to batch capture clips I want from my footage... however, I am not able to alter the frame rate or remove the 3:2 pulldown using cinema tools (I get a "unable to find clips with 29.97 fps" error, when the properties clearly list the clips as having 29.97 fps).
    Can anyone help here? I'm quite accustomed to using the log and capture window so the "capture now" method seems very inconvenient; but if I can't get the clips transcoded to 24fps somehow I'm not sure what else I can do.
    Thanks in advance!

    Capturing HDV uses a somewhat different workflow than regular DV and other I Frame formats (if that is what you have been used to so far).

  • No video when trying to capture PAL dv tape w/Sony HVR-V1U camera

    Hello there,
    Im attempting to Log & Capture a DV tape with "DV SP PAL" content from a Sony HVR-V1U camera using an iLink FireWire.
    I have deck control, timecode, and audio but no video. Instead I see bars for video w/the ominous "preview disabled" band. When I attempt "Capture Now," I receive the follwoing message "this operation could not be completed as there is no video." For Easy Setup, Im currently in "Format: PAL; Use: DV-PAL FireWire Basic" (ive other combinations, and again best I can get is deck control but no video).
    The DV PAL tape plays fine in the camera's LCD screen. Also I had no issue capturing HDV NTSC tapes using the same Sony HVR-V1U camera.
    I've checked my settings and the usual obvious stuff but no luck.
    If anyone has any ideas on what Im doing wrong or things I could try it would be much appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Sam

    are you sure this camera is fully pal compatible?  Some cameras/decks will play back certain formats but will not output via firewire.  Can you shoot PAL with this camera?  If not, I'd guess you can't use it to capture PAL via firewire.  Might check the camera manual.

  • Canon 30i footage not being read by sony HVR V1U

    Hello out there,
    So I have a whack of tapes to import, shot using the Canon XLH1- I'm not sure if they were recorded at 30F or 60i
    However, I can't seem to find the correct 'tape format' on the HVR V1U to play them back.
    Anyone run into this problem?
    I wanted to bring in the footage using the Sony but I can't even play back the tapes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks so much,
    Deedee

    I believe the incompatibility between Canon and Sony may be a tracking issue and here's why. A couple of weeks ago I was able to capture HDV footage shot on a client's XL-H1, using my Sony HVR V1U. Last year that same client had unsuccessfully tried to capture using an HVR-M10U VTR. We wound up using the H1 to capture. Later in the year I borrowed his H1 to shoot some pickups in Standard Definition DV. When I tried to playback on my DSR-1500 there were picture and sound errors. The same tape played in a DSR-11 exhibited even more errors. I was able to playback and capture from on the H1 with no problems. I suggested that he send the H1 back to Canon for warranty repair. He did and the problem was in either the tape or head drum speed, I can't remember which. It seems quite reasonable that other H1's may exhibit the same recording issue. I suggest you try to record in DV and see if the V1U or some other DV deck will play it back.

  • Is FCP X compatible with a Sony HVR-V1U camcorder?

    I used the camcorder compatibility query tool but did not see the HVR-V1U or V1N listed.

    Thanks, Ben.  That is indeed the plan.  I was just fishing to see if anyone had actually captured from an HVR-V1U or N into FCPX.  Agree that it SHOULD . . . a Firewire connection from tape media is a standard thing.  But I never cease to be amazed at technical surprises.

  • FCP and Sony HVR-V1U

    Does FCP support this new camera?
    What about older versions like Final Cut Studio?
    Message was edited by: ProImagesPa

    Depending on the quality of the product to be delivered to the customer, I've found that shooting in HDV, editing in ProRes 422, then using Compressor to downconvert to MPEG2 for DVD with frame controls on (resize = better) produced MUCH better looking video than starting with DV; fewer moire patterns, less mosquito noise. less primary color banding on diagonal edges, etc.
    As for low light, the Z5/Z7 are supposed to have improved the situation with larger sensors, new in camera processing, etc. I don't have one, so I can't address that directly, but I suspect there are expert reviews around somewhere. Once should also consider the Canon XH-A1 series. It has been well reviewed and performs better in low light than the Sony V1U according to those reviews.
    But if you iintend to use the camera professionally (I don't), you should go to a pro store with a tape (or memory card as the case may be) in hand and shoot some footage; shoot into some dark corners, view "busy" scenes (chain link fence, anyone?), difficult autofocus situations (for example, with the V1U, where the focus point is NOT in the center: watch is search about for focus), etc.
    Then take the tape, etc. and get it ingested to FCP and look at it carefully. A camera is your biggest pro tool, and you should get one that suits your needs and expectations. It is worth the time to test it out and not just rely on reviews here or elsewhere, though they are good starting points for what to look out for.

  • Sony HVR-V1U

    Does anyone know how to adjust for shooting in poorly lit rooms with this camera?
    Thanks.

    Thank you Tom.
    You are a great help. Your FCE 3.5 Editing workshop book, is a an excellent resource and very useful.

  • Sony HVR-V1U in FCP

    I can't seem to get this to print to video. Does anyone else have this camera that can help me.
    Thank you

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Cineframe 24, combined with a slow shutter speed give pretty good results on moving shots.
    For sport, I do prefer to use a custom picture profil, with more saturation and added sharpness.
    Using a steady tripod is the way to go with HDV.

  • I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

      I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

    My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine.  The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart.  I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky.  I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe.  My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.

  • Using a Sony HVR-M25U for video playback

    I know this isn't strictly a Final Cut question. I'm just hoping that some smart Final Cut editor is using the same Sony deck as I use and can help me out. Also, sorry for the length. I've included every detail I thought might be germane.
    Since I started editing HDV I've always used Digital Cinema Desktop Preview for monitoring my edits. I suppose due to a lack of computing power it's never looked very good in motion, though it looks nice and clean when stilled. Today I bought an HDMI cable, hoping to allow me to monitor my work in FCP, sending the video via iLink (FireWire) through my Sony HVR-M25U to my HD monitor.
    Now, I use my HVR-M25U Videocassette recorder deck to log and capture footage in Final Cut Pro. That works fine. I can view video straight off HDV tapes on my High Definition monitor via the HDMI input. That works fine. I can even use the Print to Video function and see the HDV output both in the LCD screen on the front of the deck and on the monitor through the HDMI input. The trouble I'm having is in using the M25U to monitor my editing via iLink.
    In the old days, working with DV, I had a DSR 40 and I was able to use that deck to monitor my FCP output via iLink, taking a component out to my standard def monitor. Is there some reason I can't use this HDV deck the same way? I've tried refreshing A/V devices in Final Cut. I don't see any iLink or Firewire choices in my view menu. I do see a whole list of HDV (1440 x 1080) choices but they're all greyed out. These choices also exist in my Audio/Video Settings screen under "Playback Output" but, again, they are greyed out. Oddly, from having used the Cinema Desktop Preview, I have "Different Output for Edit to Tape/Print to Video" checked and under that pulldown the same eight HDV (1440 x 1080) choices do exist and they are not greyed out. Checked or unchecked, that doesn't change the Playback Output menu.
    I can't see any logical deck settings to adjust. Under "IN/OUT" settings I have "HDV/DV SEL" on Auto, my "Video Out" as 1080i/480i and "i.LINK SET" (the DV down-convert) is off.
    I've also tried shutting down FCP and relaunching and shutting the deck off and firing it back up. I've tried the deck first and then FCP and I've tried the opposite. I also tried restarting. Still nothing.
    If I can feed HDV from the deck into my computer via iLink, shouldn't I be able to feed HDV from my computer to the deck? Like I said, I can record HDV via Firewire to the deck. Shouldn't I be able to see that same HDV output on the deck's LCD screen and also through the deck's HDMI output when editing?
    In case it matters, I'm running FCP 6.06, OS X 10.6.2 on a 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad Core Xeon with 4GB RAM.
    Thanks in advance for anyone who's taken the time to actually read this long question and a special thanks to anyone who might be able to help.

    #25 HDV external Monitor Viewing
    Shane's Stock Answer #25 - HDV external Monitor Viewing
    To view HDV on an external monitor in high definition you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink (www.decklink.com) or AJA (www.aja.com) offer. They will both play out HDV in real time. The catch is that you cannot view this on a regular TV or NTSC monitor. Since this is HD, an HD monitor will be needed. HOWEVER, both cards are capable of down converting the signal so that it can be displayed on an SD monitor. This won't be color accurate
    The real reason why you can't monitor HDV through a Firewire camera is because Firewire HDV cameras don't decode incoming HDV streams and route them to their outputs like DV cameras do.
    Good options for you are the Matrox MXO2...$500...coupled with an HDTV. Or a Matrox MXO (DVI connection) coupled with an Apple 23" display gets you good quality.
    And there are the Decklink Intensity and Intensity PRO cards as well, and the AJA I/O Express...
    You can, however, view HDV out via firewire as DV...lowering the resolution to that of DV, but still viewable. This is not full quality nor should it be used to judge the quality of your footage or used to color correct to. This is just a way to view the footage on a large monitor.
    Here are some examples of some of the possibilities:
    - DV or HDV sequence output to an SDI signal on a third-party interface
    - An uncompressed NTSC or PAL sequence output to a DV FireWire output
    - An HDV sequence output to a DV FireWire output
    Sequence and output formats must have compatible frame rates. For example,
    sequences with a frame rate of 60, 30, or 24 fps can be output to a 30 fps device,
    but not to a 25 or 50 fps device.

  • Importing Video From a Sony HVR-Z5E into Adobe Premiere CS5

    Hi,
    I am importing video from the Sony HVR-Z5E straight into Premiere using the capture option off the file menu but the colour looks completely different to what it looks like on the camera. Why should this be? When I preview the video in the capture window the video looks fine. its just after I have captured it.
    OS: Windows 7 x64
    RAM: 3 GB
    Please HELP??!!??
    Many Thanks

    Either your camera or your monitor is not properly calibrated. Lucky for you, capturing is just a transfer of digital data without any modification at all, just like copying files from A to B. They do not change in the copy process. So either it is in the eye of the beholder or you monitor is not properly calibrated or you are just imagining things.
    Wish you luck with editing HDV on such a system.

  • Output to tape on Sony HVR-M10U

    I'm new to FCP and editing but was doing OK in SD. Now my client has started recording HD on a Sony HVR-Z1U camera and has bought a Sony HVR-M1OU deck. I have a G5 quad and Final Cut Studio (FCP 5). I captured a scene using the HDV - 1080i60 easy set up. It looks like letterbox on the canvas and I edited it and now want to get it to tape. I only need to output it SD. I have tried many ways but so far have been unable to get it out to tape. I've spoke to the Apple Tech support three times and to Sony tech support and tried all kinds of things that they have suggested and nothing has worked.
    If I try to use Edit to Tape I get "Capture preset is set to HDV. Edit to tape is unsupported with this configuration. Please use print to video." I tried this and it spent some time "conforming" video then it looked like it was recording (I could see the video on the monitor on the deck itself) but the tape came out blank.
    I'm getting desperate. Please if anyone can help, I'd be very grateful.

    Hi, David,
    Thanks for looking. I just haven't found the Apple tech support people very helpful. It says in their list of supported products that they DO support both the Sony camera and the Sony deck in question.
    The first time I called Apple tech support when I was having problems capturing the footage, the guy I spoke with didn't even ask me anything - he just said it wouldn't be anything to do with the software and would be the deck.
    Then I went into my local Apple store and spoke with somebody at the Genius bar who knew FCP. He wasn't really able to give me much information but did suggest I should export the edited scene as a Quicktime movie but didn't seem to be sure of what settings to use. I did try to do that using NTSC anamorphic (I think from memory that was it) but still was unable to print it to tape. Each time I try anything I get a dialog box saying conforming video and it takes five hours or more before I find out each attempt doesn't work. So as you can imagine it's very frustrating.
    I spoke with somebody at Sony who was very helpful but didn't know FCP and he suggested I get Apple Tech Support on the telephone and they could do a conference call with Apple, Sony and me to try and sort out the problem. I then called Apple tech support again and the guy I spoke with there just said "we don't do conference calls". He said the only support they give for free is very basic set up support and told me about the Apple Pro option ($199 each time or $799 for a year) but suggested I try the forum first, which I have done.
    However, the guy at Sony had suggested I call the next day and speak with somebody there who know FCP and who wasn't there that day. I did that and he has been very helpful and is still being very helpful in solving my problems; even though they don't make the software they are still trying to help with it.
    This is what I feel should happen. I spent $5000 on a computer (my sixth Apple computer in my computer buying history), a lot for a single person as opposed to a company, and then more money to buy the software. I feel very strongly that the tech support should be free and that if the person I speak to doesn't know the answer, he should at least say "I don't know, but I will try to find out for you". I feel that the guys at Sony have gone way beyond the call of duty to try and help me.
    I appreciate your interest. Thank you.
    Marla.

  • Will Sony HVR-Z1E HDV Cam (PAL) work with iMovie 6.0.3

    Hi
    I'm about to make a short film and have the possibility of hiring the Sony HVR-Z1E HDV Cam (http://www.sonybiz.net/biz/view/ShowProduct.action?product=HVR-Z1E&site=bizenGB&pageType=Overview&category=HDVCamcorders) for the shoot.
    Has anyone here used a camera like this with iMovie HD 6.0.3? Can iMovie import the footage and edit it?
    Or should I immediately be thinking of Final Cut Studio or Final Cut Express?
    Cheers

    "..I'd only be able to use the DV shoot mode on the cam ... But you say it works well?!.."
    Perfectly: if you shoot in HDV, iMovie HD converts the incoming HDV footage into Apple's Intermediate Codec "on-the-fly" (..it converts the MPEG-2 HDV into a form which iMovie can handle, retaining all the extra detail of hi-def..) and that's what iMovie edits.
    You can then send your edited movie back out to a clean tape in the camera, and it's converted back to the "native" HDV format as it's exported from iMovie.
    At present, hi-def DVDs can be made only by using Apple's DVD Studio Pro (expensive) software, which burns hi-def onto normal DVDs ..but they're playable only on a Mac, not on an ordinary DVD player.
    So if you want to keep everything as hi-def when you've finished, send it back to tape, and not to iDVD (..which will knock it down to standard-def when creating a DVD from your hi-def iMovie project..)
    Because a huge amount of processing is needed for converting incoming HDV into AIC in 'real time' (..and the faster the Mac processor, and more RAM, the better..) your G4 will NOT be able to import in real time.
    You may also get occasional - temporary - glitches, in that the sound of some clips may seeem to be running slow, and be low-pitched, after importing. This is an artifact of slower-than-real-time importing, and if you quit from iMovie after importing, then restart the program (thereby clearing memory caches in your Mac), clips should play normally.
    Any rendering - dissolves, titles and other F/X - will take longer than with standard DV, as there's more data per frame to be manipulated. Straight cuts should be OK.
    "..an issue with the Firewire 600 port.." ..There's FireWire 400 and 800, but maybe "600" was a slip of your keyboard..
    "..a lead with a four pin firewire camera plug on one end and a Firewire 800 plug on the other. Works perfectly well for the Handycam. I wonder if it'll do the trick for this bigger beast?.." ..It's never worked for me! (..Maybe I've used a badly-wired cable or two..) ..I couldn't get a 4-pin-to-9-pin (FW800) cable to work, ever, with any normal 'consumer' Handycam ..nor with the FX1.
    ..But you seem to have got it to work, so it may work with the Z1 after all.
    "..I'm hiring so there are limits.." ..Don't forget to download the instruction manual (..when you're ready, click to download it as a .pdf here..)
    [NOTE: That's for the US/International version: I can't find the European (E suffix) manual at the moment, but I'm sure you can if you Google a bit. There's very little difference between them. You'll want to choose and use 1080i/50 (UK-PAL), not 1080i/60 (US-NTSC).]
    Note that - I don't know what you're shooting - you can set up focus and zoom transitions before you actually shoot them; so if you need a smooth zoom from close to distant, while changing focus, too.. instead of just pressing the zoom button and relying on the autofocus to get it right, you can pre-select start zoom and focus settings, and end zoom and focus settings, then press the 'Do-It!' button, and the camera will handle the changes as pre-programmed ..while you're busy slow-panning, for instance.
    For more of a "film look" you can also use one of the built-in Neutral Density filters ..but as that opens up the aperture wider, focus becomes more critical: hence the usefulness of the pre-set focus and zoom.
    I normally shoot always at a shutter speed of one fiftieth, and never let the camera choose automatically. I find this gives -s-m-o-o-t-h- action, but also provides a good range of apertures, too.
    Be sure that you get a big spare battery with it, unless you're shooting near to mains power. The standard battery lasts - as with most cameras - about only 40-45 mins, so be sure to get several, or one really big capacity batt.
    Shoot and replay your tests before the actual shoot, so that you're sure the hired camera has clean heads, with no 'mosaic' drop-out on the tapes.
    Er, can't think of anything else ..going to watch 'Murder She Wrote' now..

  • Premier + I'm new + Sony HVR V1P = Many questions

    What up y'all?
    I have... several problems. My main one is I have no idea what I'm doing
    I've been self learning the ins and outs of Adobe Premiere, Photoshop and After Effects CS5 extended for a little while as my proffession requires me to have a small level of expertise of video editing, and I decided the more I had, the better I would do. Now a friend has asked me to perform a "small" favour and splice some footage of a trip he had to NZ with his Dad. Now I like the guy and owe him a fair bit so I'm looking to go all out.
    First problem, he has a Sony HVR V1P and long story short, it took me 3 weeks and eventually borrowing the camera and all the tapes to get the footage into a usable format.
    Now I've spent the last 3 days editing 8 different compositions, so I figured, time to get the first few into something a bit more manageable. I'm using Media Encoder to export out of Premiere, but have no idea what settings will be best. Eventually I want to to be as high definition as possible, likely on several DVDs, but also in a digital format. I just tried an export to 720p, which is what Premiere has as its default, but I got a lot of jagging throughout the whole clip, and I'm worried that it's going to look that way any time anyone plays it. Right now I'm trying an export as 1920x1080, but my computer only has a 1st gen quad and 6GBs of RAM, so yeah, 4hrs of waiting or so.
    This is a *right click - properties* of one of the clips in the timeline. I'm sure you'll all have a much better idea of how to interpret it.

    Regards, Richard.

    Ok, let me rephrase that.
    I don't know what I'm doing in THIS INSTANCE. If people only read the first part of my statement I guess I'm not going to get anywhere, so I'll just be a tad more concise. I've made many videos before, using Premiere, and exported them successfully. This time however, and I have a feeling it's a combination of things, I'm having trouble getting the output right.
    Media Encoder isn't giving me the option of of matching sequence settings which I normally use, and I've used a few different formats of export. .AVI results in poor image quality, what I've heard referred to as "jaggies" or artifacts, and therein lies my first question; is there a way to get rid of these? Secondly, using MPEG2 Blu-ray, I get the resolution that I'm keen on, but it seperates the audio into a .WAV file. Therein the second question, what's a recommended program for combining the two.
    I'm aware of the tutorials, and part of self learning is watching them all. However there isn't a particular one that covers my question, which is why I posted it here.
    Regards, Richard.

  • PLEASE help with 24p editing mixed with 29.97

    Hello--I am a newbie to all of this 24p editing. I shot a zombie movie last summer and have a MESS with the footage. Half was shot in 24p advanced mode on the Panasonic AGDVX100a with a 16:9 anamorphic lens, and half shot at 4:3, 29.97 with a Sony DVX2100.
    I realize I need to "conform all of this footage".
    Can I stay on a 29.97 timeline? I heard that dropping 24p adv footage onto a 29.97 timeline results in a "jittery" picture once output to TV.
    Should I edit on a 24p timeline, and convert the 29.97 footage?
    It seems that when I drop my 24p advanced footage into Premiere (CS4), on a 24p timeline--the fouth frame is identical to the fifth. Does this mean that pulldown removal is not happening correctly? How do I fix this?
    Even if I do figure out how to edit on a 24p timeline, when I do my final render, what should my output file be? should I try a 24p DVD?
    Also...This is an EFFECTS HEAVY film. So I need to do an edit in Premier, then render it and bring it into After Effects, do the effects, and do another render...then I will take that render back into Premier. Will this work? What render setting should I use? How will the pulldown be affected, if at all?
    ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! I have scoured the net, but have not come across the right answers yet...please help!!!!

    Hello orion,
    Your HDR-CX550V records HD as MPEG4 AVC/H.264; and SD as MPEG2-PS. It appears to be an AVCHD camcorder (at least for HD video).
    Storing your +original footage+ could be done at least two ways:
    1 - record to removable flash media and save the Memory Sticks as your originals, as you formerly saved your tapes. (If I did my math correctly, you could fit up to about 6.5 hrs. HD video on a 16GB memory stick depending on the recording mode you select.)
    2 - copy the +entire directory structure+ from the flash media to a hard drive; this is important, you need the entire directory & files from the root folder on down, not just the AVCHD folder or just the .mts files. Test this before committing to it as your archiving method.
    The third way (and what I would probably do myself):
    3 - Log & Transfer into FCE and then archive the resulting QuickTime .mov files to a hard drive. (Admittedly, this is technically not the 'original' footage because it has been transcoded to Apple Intermediate Codec; however the quality is excellent and should be almost indistinguishable from the original AVCHD video.)
    If you convert the video files yourself (you mentioned iSkysoft), you need to convert to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec to use the video in FCE.
    FCP can handle 5.1 audio however the state of the art of these camcorders does not lend itself to direct import or conversion from the camcorder. Even the pros need dedicated 5.1 audio hardware. Frankly, 5.1 audio on these consumer camcorders is more a marketing gimmick than something actually useful at present.
    The filenames 00001.MTS, 00002.MTS etc. are assigned by your camcorder and there is nothing you can do to change that. (Although you could rename the QT .mov files after you Log & Transfer from your camcorder).
    - hoping this helps ...
