Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 with Audio in FCP

Hi,
I've imported an Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 HD (1920x1080) video (it's a capture of an HD transfer from 35mm film) into FCP 6 and now I'm trying to sync up my audio mix. I've got it synced with the pop at 2 and I've confirmed that the mix is synchronous with the print. But when I try playing it back (albeit very slowly) the audio is out of sync about 8-24 frames depending on what point of the film I play it at. Why is this?
Also, I should mention that I asked FCP to just convert my sequence to the settings embedded in the video file. The Sample and Bit rate also match up for the audio between the mix and FCP. Any ideas?
P.S. I should also mention that if I place the timeline at a certain point in the movie it will show me a particular frame. But if I decide to make a cut at that point all of a sudden the viewer will show me a different frame about a second or two earlier in the movie. Seems like it would be a frame rate issue, but I've got 23.98 video playing on a 23.98 timeline. Quicktime seems to think the video is 23.68 fps, which is weird. I don't know what to do with all of this, but hopefully someone does?

Most likely. It is not a consumer format.

  • UNCOMPRESSED 10 BIT QT WON'T PLAY

    Hi,
    I'm playing out some shots at Uncompressed 10 Bit 4:2:2 (with QT Conversion in Final Cut Pro) for someone to do some effects on, but the finished shots won't pay back as a Quicktime - it keeps sticking. If I scroll through frame by frame the individual frames seem to all be there, but it won't play through.
    Weird thing is, I did this with some other shots a few weeks ago and they played back fine at the time. But I've since just reopened them and they're not playing through properly either.
    What could be happening to stop them playing?
    Many thanks,
    Mark

    Hi, not sure how fast the drive is but the point is it played some Uncompressed 10 Bit just fine a coupla weeks ago.
    Maybe I just had more drive space then? Do you think that might be the reason?
    Pretty sure I didn't update Quicktime, in case that's an issue.
    Many thanks,
    Mark

  • Exporting to mpeg2 with audio

    Trying to export to MPEG2 with audio from fcp studio to broadcast over cable, anyone know how to do this.

    So, you need a muxed file? You may need to buy Sorenson Squeeze and check the station for the exact settings or the web for settings files. (i.e. I found a Fast Channel setting online somewhere)

  • Missing Audio from FCP to Soundtrack Pro in Final Cut Studio 2

    I've been trying to edit a sequence from Final Cut Pro 6 in Soundtrack 2 by sending the sequence to soundtrack as a multitrack project. For some reason, when I send it, multiple audio files from the original sequence are completely missing, and I have no clue why. They're .mov files from the original import of footage.
    Anyone know why these don't transfer and how to fix it?

    Hi
    I too have had trouble with Audio from FCP 6 messing up in STP 2. My opinion is that the process works if the audio tracks in FCP are either Mono sourced or stereo sourced and are never relinked, split to mono (in the case of stereo files) in FCP during editing. God forbid you unpair a stereo track and delete one channel!
    Once in STP I have had occasions where non audio appears, the wrong track appears... or sometimes the wrong audio!
    Once in a while double clicking on the offending clip in STP to open it in a Wave window seems to show the right audio. Either saving it of closing the window ( command/w) restores the right material to the clip in STP.
    You could right click on the audio in FCP and "send to STP Audio Project". Hopefully the correct audio is opened in STP. Then save it. Now re-export the Multitrack project and see if the audio makes the trip.
    Or, you could export the Audio directly from FCP, then import it into STP and position it against the video manually.
    One warning : once things start going pear shaped in the FCP-STP workflow, it's my experience that I'm fighting problems all the way. It's why I don't use STP for FCP mixing .... I want to, but its too risky.
    I hope V3 is better.

  • Trouble exporting with QuickTime 7 to UNCOMPRESSED 10-bit 4:2:2

    I have succeeded with shorter videos, but my 90 minute video returns "error -2125".
    Somehow I managed to do this before, I'm not sure what has changed on my system. Does anyone else have trouble exporting to Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 ? I'm now exporting to ProRes instead, but would prefer uncompressed video for the sake of quality.

    You don't say what's the source of your clips.
    If standard DV (..though I doubt that an agency would accept standard def video any more..) NTSC DV is compressed in the camera as 4:1:1, and PAL DV is compressed as 4:2:0 ..so you won't get true 4:2:2 from normal DV, unless you're using a broadcast camera (..probably feeding into the capture device via SDI inputs).
    If the source was tape-based HDV or any other hi-def source, then iMovie converts that, during import, into Apple Intermediate Codec, and wouldn't be able to output proper Uncompressed 4:2:2 material.
    For Uncompressed 4:2:2, I think you'll need to be using a dedicated capture card - and massive-capacity hard discs! - to be able to import the material in the first place.
    iMovie certainly isn't the program to handle pro video of this nature.
    Ask in the Final Cut Pro Discussions..
    "..I've also tried doing this on my Macbook with Intel processor.." ..but maybe that's just not fast enough (older Mac portables have "shared graphics memory" ..meaning their graphics processor may have to compete with the main processor to temporarily grab free RAM)!

  • Timeline Options with NTSC DV & Uncompresses 8-bit (and others too)

    Can someone explain the difference in picture I will see if I have DV and edit it on a NTSC-DV timeline vs. editing DV on an Uncompressed 8-bit timeline? Will it make a big difference after its all said and done and compressed in compressor ready to be put to DVD? What is the deal with all the diff settings within each timeline. Also, If i have edited DV in a NTSC-DV timeline...can I just copy and paste it to another timeline which I have set to a diff setting (i.e. uncompressed 8-bit or DV50 etc.....)?
    Hope my question made sense

    If you shot DV, what you get is a 720x4380 4:1:1 image. Up rezing or up converting to a larger colorspace will not change that basic fact.
    The only time going to a larger colorspace makes sense is if you are doing a great deal of titling/text or special effects. In that case, it may do you some good for composting the effects. It still will not make the basic footage look any better.
    If I miss understood, please let me know.

  • Uncompressed 8-bit standard def with anamorphic?

    I read somewhere about using a sequence with uncompressed 8-bit standard def with anamorphic as an option for downcoverting from hdv. I'm using fcp5 and don't see that as an option - just uncompressed 8-bit without anamorphic.
    Any solutions will be greatly appreciated.

    Easiest way to get there (I think) is to copy the NTSC (or PAL) DV preset, then change the codec to uncompressed 8-bit. The anamorphic will be set and you'll be properly at 480 lines instead of 486.
    That I think answers your question.
    But you will then be faced with a sequence which requires rendering before viewing, and after most edits. Which is a lot of work in HDV.
    Consider instead converting the media itself using Compressor. Don't let the name fool you - it can also save out as uncompressed. You can take an NTSC DV preset there as well, and edit it to be uncompressed 8-bit.

  • 720p23.98 and Uncompressed 10-bit with Kona LH don't play together?

    FCP 5.1.4
    Kona LH 3.4
    OS X 10.4.10
    QT 7.1.6
    I'm at the final stages of my current project which was edited as 720p23.98 DVCProHD, as this is the format that all of the original meterial was shot in. I'm now prepping for a filmout. I'll be delivering a 1280x720 23.976 Uncompresed 10-bit QT to the company doing the filmout.
    Here's my issue:
    Everything works great and looks fine, however as soon as I switch the video playback in FCP to AJA Kona 720p59.94 10 Bit, playback becomes green snow. I see picture when parked on the timeline, but it won't play out. Switching to 8-bit provides okay playback, but it is a bit shimmery because the sequence compressor is 10-bit. My question is this: Is this just my system, or is it just not possible to get the Kona to play out 720p at 10 bit?
    I did a test and I can play out NTSC at 10 bit and 1080i29.97 at 10 bit. It only seems to be 720p that won't play out at 10 bit.
    Ideas? Suggestions?

    Yes, the rest of the process.
    I unrendered everything, switched the compressor for the sequence to Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2, changed the video processing to render all in high precision YUV, set motion filtering to best, and rendered. Hit play, green snow to monitor, but proper playback in canvas.
    Exported a self contained QT, plays fine in QT player, plays fine for the folks doing the filmout, it just won't play out to my monitor through the Kona LH when FCP playback is set to 10 bit. Actually I have two monitors in the bay right now, one is a Sony Luma showing a downconverted SD signal (via SDI) the other is a Sony BVM-D24E showing the HD signal (via HD-SDI). Both show green snow when playback is set to 10 bit, so I know this is not caused by letting the Kona LH downconvert to SD.

  • File Import Error / distorted image CS3 3.2.0 - Blackmagic Uncompressed 10-bit YUV NTSC 4:3

    Hi All-
    I have been capturing some old VHS tapes using Blackmagic Media Express via a Decklink HD Extreme 2 card (composite in, RCA audio in) and then subsequently editing the files in Premiere Pro CS3 ver. 3.2.0.  But I'm running into a strange problem with the image being very distorted upon import into Premiere.  
    The capture settings in Blackmagic Media Express are as follows: NTSC, Uncompressed 10-bit YUV, 29.97, drop frame.  After capture and before editing in Premiere, I watch the capture file in Windows media player and it looks and sounds fine.
    When I create a new Premiere project to edit the clip, I use the following preset: Blackmagic Design, NTSC, 10-bit YUV, 4 x 3. 
    When I import the .avi file created during the media express capture into the new Premiere project, the image becomes extremely distorted.  However, if I choose any other preset in Premiere, the image looks OK, which seems strange because the other presets do not match the import file settings.  I should note that when I render the distorted looking file out using the Premiere media encoder, the file looks OK.
    Any suggestions?  I cannot figure out why the video is not importing or showing correctly in Premiere. Help!
    Thanks a bunch,
    Rex

    Has this process EVER produced non-distorted video when imported into Premiere?
    If this is a NEW problem, then what has changed since the process last worked properly?
    If this is a FIRST TIME process and problem, my guess is a video driver that is not 100% compatible with what you are doing... you provide no other information, so it could be you need a newer (or, sometimes, older) video driver
    Windows updates have been known to cause problems

  • Apple intermediate codec VS apple fcp uncompressed 8 bit 4:2:2

    i'm still very new here.
    have FCE and therefore don't have apple pro res.
    i'm getting mixed suggestions as to what format to use for highest quality.
    i get better results playing back apple intermediate codec in FCE but want to know if its quality is as good as apple fcp uncompressed 8 bit?
    ultimately want to output as quicktime H.264
    thanks

    "but don't i Want HD? i'm shooting with the canon 5D M2."
    Yes, you do. But how would I know that you're shooting in HD or that you're using this camera? The Apple uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 codec is only used with standard definition media.
    BTW, FCE is not the best application to work with this camera as it shoots in a non-standard video frame rate. Your media would have to be converted to QuickTime using AIC at 29.97 with uncompressed 48k audio. FCP allows you to create a sequence preset in 30fps, the frame rate used by this model.

  • I cannot export to "Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2" format. Help!

    I need to deliver clips to a stock agency but I cannot export the footage from iMovie with the uncompressed format I need. Not in iMovieHD, nor in iMovie8, nor in FCE. I tried it with a 10 second clip, so it can not be the length or files getting too big!
    So what happens?
    Exporting to Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2
    If I try this setting, on all occasions iMovie simply crashes and I get the "iMovie quit unexpectedly" window. The same thing happens in FCE.
    Exporting to Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2
    When I export using this seting, iMovie SEEMS to export the file as it should. But when I open the file in Quicktime, the timebar indicates the full 10 seconds, but the video & audio freezes after about 1 or 2 seconds, the clip keeps playing and I hear & see the last second of the clip again. The same thing happens with files exported with this setting in iMovieHD, iMovie8 and FCE.
    I've read on the forum that I should not worry about the quicktime movie not playing right, because the file can be imported into Final Cut without any problems. So I try not to worry about this and hope the stock agency can work with the files... But that still does not explain why I cannot export to 10-bit 4:2:2 without my video programs crashing!
    And yes, I've also tried doing this on my Macbook with Intel processor. With the same result.
    Can somebody please help me with any suggestions? Thanks!!

  • Video not in sync with audio or vice-versa

    This is a last ditch effort to try to find some definitive help.  Everyone has a sad story when things go awry with video capture.  Here's mine:  I recommended the Apple platform and iMovie for my wife for documenting a how-to for a particular hair style transition.  Something she can't recapture.  We used a MacBook Pro's built-in camera. All went well until she noticed from the beginning of the daily captures that the audio and video would fall out of sync within clips shortly after she started.  After she was done and mentioned it, I discovered that the six or so clips that make up the project varied in their frame rates (project is set to 30).  One clip with a frame rate of 28 is fine, but the rest have slower frame rates.  The total project length is approximately 15-20 min....
    Detaching the audio from the video and exporting to QuickTime (as suggested by most) makes no difference. I've also seen suggestions about moving the content to MPEG Steamclip and doing "something" with it but I'm not video editing savvy so exactly "what" nyone is supposed to do via that solution is an unknown..
    I've been all ofver the web searching for a way to change all of the clip's frame rates to 30 fps since the one clip at 28 frames is acceptable.  A foregone conclusion.  However, I can't seem to find a way to do this anywhere. 
    Would really like to rescue the two weeks worth of work my wife put into this effort. 
    Any/all help appreciated thanks.

    The basic problem you are facing is the use of the internal camera. It is designed for simple web cam usage rather than movie making. If you are making a Face Time call, the variable frame rate helps you, because when there is not a lot of movement, it will slow down the frames and give you better performance at a lower bandwidth. If the audio is a little off you do not care.
    Long term, you can solve this by using a camcorder that shoots at a constant framerate.
    For your immediate problem, I think that the suggestion to use MPEG Streamclip was a good one.
    Basically, you would be dragging in this file with the variable frame rate and using MPEG Streamclip to save it out as a file with a constant framerate. You should now have a file at 30 fps with audio to match, within reason.
    Try dragging your clip into MPEG Streamclip. Click the PLAY button so you can see that it plays. Then FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. For Compression, choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Leave the sound setting as Uncompressed. In the Frame Rate box, type 30. Click the check box for Frame Blending. Deselect the box that says Interlaced Scaling.
    Finally, click the MAKE MOVIE button, and give at a name. Save it to a location where you can find it. You can then import this into iMovie if you want, but using FILE/IMPORT MOVIE in iMovie.

  • Teouble with audio becoming out of synce with video.

    Hello, I'm using final cut to edit my videos but for some reason, FCP has been giving me some issues. In my work flow I often layout two long video track in the timeline, then I will chop up the top track to create transitions from the top to the bottom and vise versa. as soon I press play, it the video will start off in a slower speed almost as if the computer is overloaded, then it catches up to normal speed in about a second. This has really been driving my crazy. It also effects the way video syncronizes with audio. I can lay both video tracks on top of one another perfectly in sync with the audio, but as sometime once it get's to new scene or the video switches to another track the audio is no longer in sync with the video. sometimes I can stop the footage, then press space bar to copntine and the audio and video will be in sync. This is really weird and I was wondering if anyone has any answers for me. I'm pretty sure it's not an overload on the system because the projects are rather small, and I'm using a quad core 2.5, with 5 gig of ram. and this is my graphic card info

    Yes. Those that are designed to work with A/V files will work better.
    Drives from G-tech and Granite Digital are worth a very close look.
    However, if you have an empty drive bay in your G5, a second internal SATA drive is the better choice.
    good luck.

  • CS5.5--Issues with audio from imported avi's & issues exporting

    To Start, my laptop:
    CPU: Intel® Core ™ i7-2330QM CPU @ 2.00 GHz
    CPU Clock Frequency: 2.00 GHz
    System Memory: 8 GBytes
    Cache Memory: 1 MBytes/6 Mbytes
    Manufacturer: Sony Corporation
    Model name: VPCF226FM
    BIOS VERSION: R1190V#
    OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
    ME Version: 7.0.10.1203
    System Type: 64-bit Operating System
    I downloaded the 30-day free trial of Premiere Pro CS5.5 with all updates.  To play with the program, for my own personal amusement, I wanted to edit together pieces from a bunch of avi videos that I know to play properly outside the program, tested on more than one computer.
    At first, importing the files seemed to be no problem, making subclips as I went along.
    However, as I continued to import files, there began to be a sound issue--sometimes the sound not being present till I was 1/3 of the way through the clip, sometimes the sound seemingly playing catch up with audio that should be earlier in the video appearing later, sometimes the sound wouldn't come up at all, and still other times I'd be, for example, on video 5 when pieces of audio from video 2 would start playing over the current video.
    I initially thought it may just be a memory issue, working with many large video files.
    But later, when I went to edit the subclips I made, I found that many of them no longer had sound, even if they did when I initially subclipped them.
    Weirdly, in the timeline, there is no consistency, as clips will appear in the video track but only some show audio tracks too.  But those with audio tracks don't always play audio and those that show NO audio tracks at all actually do play audio sometimes.  Also, those that show audio tracks and don't play them sometimes will show waveforms, sometimes don't.  A clip with no waveform may not play 95% of the time, but then occasionally will suddenly have the waveform and play a couple times before reverting back to no audio.
    A suitable solution for this personal amusement project would just be to drop a new soundtrack over the thing but, before I even got that far, I tried exporting as avi's and mpeg4's but then get error messages such as:
    Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
    [..\..\Src\Win\WinFile.cpp-785]
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    In case it was a memory issue, I tried starting a new project, only importing 2 videos, but had the same audio and exporting issues.
    I'm getting really frustrated as I spent a lot of time importing/subclipping and then even more time prepping before that.
    For those who are bound to ask, while new to Premiere, I'm not a novice with editing.  I've used Final Cut Pro at work for many years (without such issues).
    Thanks for your help.

  • Is uncompressed 8-bit PAL 48 KHz the most compatible format for a HDV dvd

    I have shot a project in HDV, edited in HDV sequence. I now want to produce a dvd, that is compatible on both widescreen and 4:3 tv's.
    A friend suggested exporting a quicktime movie in uncompressed 8-bit PAL 48 KHz to ensure maximum compatibility.
    Would people agree with using this setting?
