System settings for imported p2 files in fcp

Hello, Everyone
My name is Jackie and I am new to the apple disciussion forum. So I hope I am doing this right. I need help exporting my Project. Currently I am exporting using Quick Time Movie within FCP and the quality of the files are awful. I understand that my mxf files (footage originally shot with P2 hd cards) are imported as quicktime files but I was under the impression that the quality of my footage would stay the same.I think maybe some of my settings are incorrect just not sure what they should be dvntsc or hdv 720 p60 as far as sequence presets. Maybe I am completly off base. currently I have exported sequences using qt movie in hopes to create a dvd but every time the quality is really fuzzy. Please educate me.
Sincerely, Jackie

Welcome to the forums.
Imported P2 files are the exact same quality as the original MXF files. And the codec they employ is DVCPRO HD. Might be 720p, might be 1080i...whatever format you shot. Zero quality loss.
Exporting for...what? how? You must know tht you cannot judge the quality of the footage on your computer monitor...
#2 Blurry Playback
Shane's Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL BROADCAST MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
The Canvas shows you what happens after the codec you are working with has been applied. The Viewer shows you the material in its native format. Once you drop the footage from the Viewer into the timeline, it inherits the attributes of the sequence. If it is a DV sequence, the footage will render out as DV.
1. Disable overlays on the Canvas.
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline).
Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or broadcast monitor routed thru your camera or deck.
TO view your HD files you need to get a capture card and an HD monitor.

What are the correct setup and system settings for importing HDV video from tape?

I keep trying different "easy setups" and system settings/preferences in order to import both the audio and video from HDV recordings on miniDV tape to no avail in either FCE4 or FCP5. I import via firewire from the camera. My computer "sees" the camera and controls playback (I can hear the audio) but no video displays for capture (just color bars).
My camera is a Canon Vixia HV40 and my computer is a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I've tried the HDV easy setup...no video...
I've tried HDV 1080i/60 as I saw recommended somewhere else...no video...
Captures standard video just fine but I'd like to try editing some higher def footage.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.

The combination of all these helpful ideas solved the problem.
I set AV settings to HD and Apple Intermediate Codec HDV 1080i/60 AND set the cameras output to "locked" HDV. Funny, it had been on "A" (Auto) before and should have simply sensed the need for HD output. I then tried to capture using "A" again and this time it detected the difference between SD footage and HDV footage (I had clips of both kinds on the same tape).
I ran similar capture tests on FCP 5.1, FCE 4, and FCPX and all three programs captured HDV video and audio.
Thanks again everyone. Be sure the camera is set to output HDV or "A".

Importing Motion Files to FCP

I've searched for this problem and have yet to find a thread with a conclusion - please point me in the right direction if I've missed it.
I'm running Motion 3.0.2 and FC Pro 6.0.6 along with OS 10.4.11. I'm due to upgrade all these asap - but as I'm in the middle of a long project I'm holding back. I've never been able to import Motion files into FCP either by using Import or dragging into the browser - I get a "File Error: Unknown File" message. Instead I make a QT file and work on that. Usually I don't have many files in a sequence so that's never really ben a problem.
However, I've now putting together some much longer sequences and it's a pain when shots need tweaking to have to re-make QTs each time.
I've trashed both Motion and FCP preferences without luck. I have Snow Leopard sitting waiting to be installed. Could that fix the problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Andy

hi,
seem to remember someone else having this problem, have you repair permissions etc on your system. Can you double click a motion file for it to open from the Finder. Does the Finder know they are Motion files and should be opened by Motion? er can't think of anything else

Importing QT files into FCP

Hi there I'm a FCP newbie,
I 'm trying to import QT files into FCP, I extracted two files off a DVD using handbrake tp MP4 format and then opened them with Quicktime Pro and compressed them as a QT.mov. One of the movies imported successfully into FCP the other did'nt, and the error message I file recognized (0) access denied 1 unknown. Note I have used exactly the same compression settings for both files, any help would be appreciated.

MP4 is a delivery codec. To make things easier, use MPEG Streamclip to do the DVD extraction. That will extract the video directly into a Quicktime movie file which FCP can edit natively.

Not able to import .motn files into FCP

For some reason I'm not able to import .motn files into FCP. While in FCP, I use "send to motion" and uncheck the embed box. After motion opens and I add my motion content, I get the following error when trying to import the .motn file back into FCP "File Error: 1 files(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". What is strange is that I'm able to create another test FCP project with different media, and everything works fine. All tests and media are done on the same drive.
I'm using the latest updates of everything FCP 5.0.4 and motion 2.0.1
Any ideas anybody?
Thanks!

Check the frame rate - that can sometimes interfere...

If I actually import full files into FCP, can I then drop source files into the trash?

If I actually import full files into FCP, can I then drop source files into the trash? I'm editing now and want to free up HD space.

Just to confirm: in Preferences, Import, Files..."copy to library storage location" is selected.
So I assume I can dispose of source files.
Thanks for quick reply and also the the cautionary note.
This is low-level family footage I export to .mov and share on YouTube, so originals are not critical.

How to ceate Transport Request Number for importing transport files

I'm trying to create Transport Request Number for importing transport files.
I've copied the two transport files (K903281.QB8 and R903281.QB8) into subdirectories usr/sap/trans/cofiles and usr/sap/trans/data, respectively. Now, I want to import the transport files using transaction management system (STMS). Before using STMS, it seems like I need to create Transport Request Number, but I don't know how to create it. Could you please let me know how to create it?

Sanjeev and Sajay,
Thanks for your answer. I was able to import the files successfully as transport number QB8K903281 by using standard STMS transport function after manually adding new transport on STMS. My trouble was from my ingrorance of how to let STMS recognize transoprt number for transport files copied from outside SAP. Again thank you very much.

System settings for bdc?

hi frenz!
are there any system settings for running a bdc automatically in background?
the problem i am facing is that my bdc code is running in the background as required in the devlopmant system whereas when i move the same code to the quality system i have to go and execute the bdc explicitly in sm35. Please advice.
as an additional peice of info im using call transaction method and the mode used is P..

HI Payal
I was also once getting the same value of sy-subrc.
My problem was with recording.When i was running in foreground,I was pressing the buttons(ok_code)
but in background it was not possible very obviously
so I checked my recording and the problem was solved.
Secondly, check if you are hardcoding a request no somewhere
as while running a bdc it may asks for a request
but it wont be in quality.
Please revert back in case of problems
Please reward points.

Use System settings for proxy

You should allow the Mac Desktop version to use the system proxy settings. Curerntly, I have to switch my proxy settings everytime I leave/return to work. It would be better if Spotify just used the Mac OS system settings for the proxy. Most other software does this. And this is why there are system settings in the first place, so other software can take advantage of them.

Good news everyone! Apple Music iTunes perfectly uses the system proxy settings, even when they are set to socks, and that without a restart from the client. Seamless integration, works perfectly.

Hi
Which Criteria you are evaluating standard or custom?
If you are doing Vendor Evaluation for Purchasing Org 1000, you need to complete the assignment of Criteria, Sub-criteria, Weighing keys and Maintain Purchasing Organization data.

System Settings for Kodak Zi6

Yikes, this is driving me nuts.
When I export from FCE for youtube, I'm getting some funky borders/margins. And I think it is my system settings.
I'm eager to export to 1280 x 720, as that is what YouTube says is it's max.
What do I set for System Settings for the HD from a Zi6?
Thanks so much.
Brad
For a bonus question, do I have to change the settings when I use lower quality video from my Casio Exilim, which I only rarely use, but sometimes like to mix video from that camera in w/ video from the Zi6
THANKS!

here's the youtube video to see the margins http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B9SkvhoUYw

no you should transcode those files into an format that os suitable for editing. Like proRez. Although you might need some Flip4Mac or perian or something to do the conversion.
