Temporal compression conforming HDV  1080i60 to 23.98fps

Footage was shot on Sony EX1. Then Sony's transfer tool was used to bring it into FCP. Before import, the file says it is 59.94i (23.98p).
In final cut it says 29.97 (basically the same).
The footage needs to be changed in 23.98 fps. In cinema tools, the clip analysis says HDV 1080i60 29.97 quality:normal with temporal (what is that)?
The button to conform is grey and not active. I have tried batch conform and that leads to cinema tools creating a new source folder for "skipped clips" due to "temporal compression"
What is up?

CT doesn't convert 60i to 24p.
CT doesn't work with native HDV or MPEG2 footage.
Solution, http://www.nattress.com/Products/standardsconversion/standardsconversion.htm my conversion software which does a great 60i to 24p conversion even on HDV.

  • What is the best compression for HDV 1080i60 video to be played on iTunes?

    Hello guys,
    I would like to make an HDV video podcast for iTunes and possibly for other podcasting sites. My source format is HVD 1080i60, each episode would be about 10 minutes long. So I am wondering what format, compression and settings work best while keeping reasonable quality.
    Thank you for any tip or advise.

    One thing I forgot to mention: the Apple TV setting H.264 file won't play on an iPod. If you did need an iPod/iPhone compatible version, then the export setting to use would be Movie to iPod. This will make a 640x360 file. The full explanation of the differences between iPod and Apple TV formats is at http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html#formattingvideo

  • Reverse Telecine and Temporal Compression

    I'm currently editing on a FCP (5.1.4) 23.97fps timeline and have some secondary footage from a canon HV20 that I'd like to use as well. It's already captured, and I want to use a reverse telecine transfer so I can import it to my timeline conformed at the proper rate.
    I tried using cinema tools (3) to perform this; first by importing just one clip, but the "rev telecine..." button couldn't be selected, so I tried to batch reverse telecine the clip but was given the error message 'temporal compression'.
    I am sure that the footage captured on the HV20 was with the 24 option, so I'm not sure why I'm having and issue. Any advice would be appreciated. The more step-by-step the better.
    Thanks!

    With Final Cut 5 you need to use Cinema tools after converting every clip to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). This is a manual process that you must repeat for each clip. Each time you start and stop the HV20 recording you get a separate clip so if you did a lot of starting and stopping you'll be busy for a while. I did this process as an exercise more than a year ago and was successful but I don't recall the details. I did a Google search for "reverse telecine HV20" and found this article http://www.hdforindies.com/2007/07/working-with-24p-from-canon-hv20.html
    I think I found my method on the Canon HV20 forum http://dvinfo.net/conf/canon-vixia-hv40-hv30-hv20-hv10/ back then.
    I'm not sure but I think you may need to recapture your footage using the 60i setting in Final Cut. I don't know what Final Cut does to 60i footage captured using the 23.98 setting. You might just be able to change the setting to 29.97 on the captured clips. Worth a try maybe.
    Good luck.

  • Temporal Compression Error on DVCPRO-HD720 files transferred from HVX200

    DVCPROHD 720/60 transfer from HVX200/FireStore (have read other user having same problem from P2 card) still not working properly in FCP6 on Mac Pro. Files will function normally except when trying to FRC or conform -- they are incorrectly flagged as having "temporal compression."
    All software is up-to-date: FCP 6.0.3, QT 7.5, OS 10.5.3.
    Work around is to load on PBook G5 with FCP 5.1.4, then transfer files to Mac Pro, but the file/computer shuffling is getting old.
    Earlier thread here at Apple forums:

    Looks like it might address the problem, but I in fact did upgrade to QT 7.5 this afternoon, and had hoped it might help. I transferred some 720/60 files this evening, and they were still marked as having 'temporal compression' (visible in file analysis in Cinema Tools), and the conform button was greyed out.
    I wish the support article had more detail about the specific problem with DVCPRO HD and QT 7.4.5.
    Plus, the files were loading correctly in FCP 5.1.4, with QT 7.4.5, so whatever's going on isn't connected completely (or at all) with 7.4.5.

  • Import Assets Incompatible Format - Apple HDV 1080i60

    Isn't HDV 1080i60 a format the DVDSP 4.1.2 can import?
    I recorded an event in a Gym in HDV with my Canon HV20, uploaded into FCP5 via HDV with the sequence presets using HDV-1080i60 compression.
    After adding markers and markers I rendered it, and export>quicktime settings>current settings. When I tried to drag it into DVDSP (compressor will not connect to batch after the last quicktime update so that is out until I reinstall it) DVDSP gave me the Import Assets Incompatible Format warning box.
    Any insight is appreciated.
    I did go back to FCP and export it as DV NTSC 58kHz and it imported fine.
    I guess I just don't know what will give me the best looking DVD from HDV: Change using export via FCP or Compressor or DVDSP - or do they all use the same QT engine to convert?
    Thanks for your input.

    HD DVD is not blu-ray, just an FYI, so not sure if you are asking for blu-ray or not?
    Anyway with FCP 7 you have the ability to create limited blu-ray discs onto regular DVD-R/+R (and also the same for HD DVD via DVD SP) that will play in HD DVD Players (if you happen to have one and burn the HD DVD flavor) or blu-ray players.
    By limited (more so on blu-ray side) think of it is a simple menu that has a limited amount of room compared to a full blown blu-ray disc. In other words to put a short thing of 15-20 minutes onto a disc that will work without extra equipment, which can suffice for many things.
    Or are you meaning to do something more full blown blu-ray? If the later, do a search for blu ray in the box over there -> in the DVD SP forum, lots of options and methods are discussed.
    You can look at a burner like this [one from OWC|http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MRF8UEBDW8T> which includes Toast and prices are definately becoming more reasonable than they were not too long ago and the media is starting to drop.
    Like most things prices will continue to go down some more, so keep that in mind as to whether it is time to buy, or just go with the limited use the system you have can currently do.

  • MPEG2 when compressing from HDV

    Hi
    I'm new to compressor and FCP and HDV. I'm coming over from the SD Avid world of editing and have a question aboutMPEG-2. IsMPEG-2 the best when it comes to finished quality when being compressed from HD to SD??? When I play a SD dvd that has down converted HDV footage on it, it looks real bad, just very pixelated??? I'm outputting HDV 1080i60 from FCP then opening Compressor and using the setting under DVD:Best Quality 90 minutes which is MPEG-2 6.2Mbps 2-pass. I was told to use this setting from a friend of mine. Or even the DV NTSC Anamorphic setting as well.
    I hope I'm doing something wrong and using the wrong setting because I can't deliver this low HDV down converted product to my client:( If there is a much better quality setting out there, I would love to know about it:)
    PLEASE HELP!!
    Thanks, Jonathan

    Hi
    First a confession: I don't work with HDV ... but I found that [Bonsai’s HDV to DVD workflow|http://www3.telus.net/bonsai/Welcome.html] have helped others before in these forums.
    Hope that helps !

  • Print to video - HDV 1080i60 to Sony HDR-HC1 camera

    Like many before, am struggling with print to video of HDV material captured as HDV 1080i60 to a Sony HDR-HC1 camera. Just can't figure out what settings to use, only get the darn blue screen. Have tried several settings, but no success. Does anyone know the trick? Thanks!

    Have you tested the camera with non-HDV just to make sure the camera works?

  • *** Turning the "conforming HDV video" render OFF

    I had to print some HDV projects back to tape, so on the advice of another person here, changed some settings so that the "conforming HDV video" stage was done before deciding to print the sequence to tape.
    I'm finished printing my projects to tape now, and when I'm not editing a new HDV project, each time I press option-R to render, it says "conforming HDV video". How do I turn this "off" so that it will just render out like it normally did in the past?
    Thanks in advance..........

    Hi, can you tell me how you got the printing to video to work. I´ve tried now for few days to output HD material from my project back to my tape. I have a Sony HVR Z1U Camcorder. The sequence plays well on my computer and my camcorder even starts to record but there is no picture transmitted to the tape.
    Where is the problem?
    Thanks in advance

  • Hi, I can't figure out why I can't render on my timeline. I highlight the segment hit "Apple-R" and it gives me a weird message about "conforming HDV video...." and the bar goes as far as 60-66% and holds there forever. It never renders even partially.

    Yes, I know. I have been working with HDV for some time. I am wondering why it doesn't render when it needs to.. the red and bright-green lines are above, and I've set the render settings such that ANYTHING I highlight and hit apple-R will render. But its not rendering at all.

  • Need help exporting HDV 1080i60 - please help!

    OK, I'm a video editor, and I've been cutting standard-def stuff for years now. I've literally just started editing HDV material. Here's my problem:
    -Imported HDV 1080i60 footage from a Sony V1U camera, via firewire.
    -Edited the project natively, in HDV 1080i60 sequences, everything went smoothly. Playback looks great, everything is swell.
    -Exported MPEg2 for DVD delivery, and again, everything looks great.
    -When I export the sequence using either Compressor or Export to Quicktime, using the HDV 1080i60 settings, the resulting Quicktime clip cannot playback without stuttering. It's a 20 minute clip - the resulting Quicktime file is about 5GB. The video quality is fine - but I can't get it to play back without the stutter. It basically looks like I'm trying to play a video file without sufficient RAM. But I doubt that's the case. I've got 4GB of RAM, and like I said, the video plays fine in Final Cut Pro.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to deliver the final Quicktime file to my client on a hard drive, so they can playback the HD material on their own computer. Thanks in advance!

    I think what is going on is that your machine doesn't have the horsepower to play the QT file back without dropping frames. Your client's machine will probably have the same problem. FCP degrades its display without dropping frames to maintain speed, QT always attempts full resolution, and drops frames to compensate.
    Check the playback frame rate in the Quicktime viewer. If it is anything less than 30FPS, QT is dropping frames to maintain real time audio playback. The solution is to create a more forgiving movie.
    Try 720p24, for the most benign files. These will even play on a Mac Mini without stuttering.

  • Compression errors: HDV to HDV/DV (green square dots)

    - Compression errors: HDV to HDV or HDV to DV (green square dots) -
    I'm having compression errors when trying to export HDV Projects using
    - FCP Export Quicktime movie
    - FCP Using QT Conversion
    - Compressor
    For example today I tried to export 1,5 hour HDV Project (edit version) to master HDV clip. I used FCP Export QT Movie and the new master clip has 19 compression errors. Most of them were during first 30 minutes.
    See the picture from: http://www.aavekammari.com/comperr.html
    Errors are mostly green dots lines, but they can also be other coloured dots or just small squares.
    I have tried to remove extra RAMs, using only Apple's original RAMs, tested RAMs with couple of softwares. I read somewhere else that the RAM could be the issue.
    Does anyone else having this kind of problem?

    It seems that errors can appear even when rendering in FCP (second picture in the link above).
    I did some research.
    - when I tried to export QT file: In 1,5 hour project all errors were during first 50 minutes.
    - when I forced FCP to render all clips (CC added): All errors were again during first 50 minutes!
    So I found that all media files in first 50 minutes are in the same internal HD (not same where the FCP is). And the rest of them are in external firewire HD. Could this be reason, but why, anyone?

  • HDV 1080i60: Output high quality video that will work on other computers?

    Hi,
    I just made a quicktime movie (not conversion) of my HDV 1080i60 video project, but it will not play on other computers...
    My question:
    What is the best workflow for outputting a HQ HDV movie, from FCP6, that will play on other computers/platforms?
    Please help! On a deadline.

    Thanks Studio!!!
    I will use H.264.
    I also discovered that copying the AppleHDVCodec.component (from my HD >> Library >> Quicktime folder) to the other Mac, will allow me to play the video too... But optimally, I would like to not worry about codecs.
    Anyway, many many many thanks Studio! You rock!
    Have a great night.
    Cheers,

  • DVCPRO HD 720pN24 and HDV 1080i60

    Can you cut with DVCPRO HD 720pN24 and HDV 1080i60 in the same sequence of FCP? If so, how do I do this?

    Open Format Timeline Feature
    In Final Cut Pro 6, you can freely mix clips with different formats in a single sequence and play back the sequence in real time.
    This allows you to combine formats such as standard definition (SD) and high definition (HD) video, full-resolution and offline-quality video, and video with mixed frame rates, field dominance, and scanning methods (interlaced and progressive).
    Might want to peek at that manual.

  • Hdv 1080i60 MOV file: all I get is audio, video is white

    Greetings,
    I received some hi-def video files from a guy who shot some footage for me. They are .mov files. Here's the FInder info for one of them:
    Dimensions: 1440 x 1080
    Codecs: HDV 1080i60, Integer (Big Endian), Timecode
    Duration: 05:10
    Channel count: 2
    Total bit rate: 26,483
    When I drag this clip into FCE, all I get is the audio. The video portion is solid white.
    The clip plays correctly in VLC. How can I get it to play in FCE?
    Thanks!
    DM

    Native HDV is not supported in FCE. The material needs to be converted to the Apple Intermediate Codec. Without knowing exactly how the material was captured using what application and platform it's impossible to say. If it was captured using Final Cut Pro, that application or Compressor will have to be used to convert the media.

  • Render problems on an HDV 1080i60 timeline

    I'm editing a project for a friend who is on fcp 6 so I'm using my version of 5.5.  Her footage is HDV 1080i so I chose the sequence preset HDV-1080i60 to match her footage.  Drag any of her footage onto the timeline individually and you don't get a render line...so far so good.  Create a multiclip sequence and suddenly I have a render line which makes it nearly impossible to edit.  So I went searching for differences in the footage and the timeline and here is what I have.
    My sequence is this
    but when I choose file≥new sequence I get this:
    Is this causing the render issue and why am I getting it if I'm choosing a preset sequence.  Most importantly how do I fix it?

    I'm not sure how to manually change the sequence setting once it's created.  In fact I'm confused as to why the presets are 16 point integer but when I simply do new>sequence I get a sequence with this:
    My drives are internal hard drives and I'm using three angles on the multi-clip.  The odd thing is that I've never had trouble like this with this system before.  It's been an amazing little workhorse.  Now mind you I didn't shoot this or digitize this footage myself.  It was given to me by someone who needed an edit done quickly (drat!).  She's given me footage before where two of her cameras are fine in terms of the footage being shot in the same format and one of them is shot in a different format causing me issues, but this time all three cameras seem to be the same.  This seems to be a sequence issue.
    Can you tell me how to change the sequence once it's created?
