Video camera compatibility for CS5? what sequence setting do I use?

I am new to the extraordinarily complex world of hard drive/hybrid cameras. I have always used tape and firewires with few problems. A student came in today with new camera she just bought a Panasonic SDR –H85. We downloaded a video file, but it would not import into Premiere. I also had no idea which of the dozen new sequence set-ups to use. How do I find out camera compatibility for CS5? (Adobe doesn’t list specific models.) And what sequence setting do I use?

Thanks for your help! For some reason we had a hard time finding these specs. It looks like it is a SD camera, not a High Definition camera (the HD on the side of the camera mistakenly meant Hard Drive, not High Definition?)
At any rate we now need to use the Adobe media encoder to convert the file so that we can import it into Premiere ….all with a loss of quality due to the re-rendering. (btw, what is the best file to re-render?). I suggested that the student who just bought it return it for a camera (preferably High Def) that will work in Premiere. Any suggestions?

  • What sequence setting would you use to edit 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in FCP. Experiencing Quality and rendering issues.

    What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues.  I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out.  Thanks for your assistance.

    Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422.   You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal.  This workflow will require much more drive space.

  • What sequence setting should I use for a High Quality Video Montage?

    I am about to start a new project for a client using photographs only.  I have two questions:
    1.  What should I use for the sequence settings?  Should I edit with a HD sequence setting? 
    2.  I am going to scan the pics myself.  What Pixel or resolution is appropriate to get the best quality?  I'm looking for wide screen 16 x 9, not 3 x 4.

    First, decde how you are going to deliver this production to your client. Then tell us what that delivery medium will be. Then we'll have some advice for you.
    See the section in the FCP manual on using still images. You need to understand that in video there are only pixels, no dots per inch or lines per inch. Those terms are meaningless in video. You wil sand at a size in raw pixels that is only slightly larger than your delivery format.

  • No update Camera Raw for CS5

    The only update of Camera Raw for CS5 was ver 6.7.1 in Mid 2013 but the Nikon Df wasn launch in Dec last year.  Adobe did not update the file therefore my Creative Suite 5 could not see the new NEF file unless I use DNG Converter to change to DNG file.

    Adobe does not update obsolete versions on ACR.
    So if you expect ACR to support RAW files from cameras that were not available when support for that version of ACR stopped with the release of the next version you will be probably dissappointed.
    Please try the free DNG Converter to get the files into a format your obsolete version of ACR can process.

  • My daughter received an I phone for Christmas and we set it up using my iTunes account.  She just received an iPad and wants to set up her own iTunes account.  How do we do that without lsing all of her content that she added to my iTunes account.

    My daughter received an I phone for Christmas and we set it up using my iTunes account.  She just received an iPad and wants to set up her own iTunes account.  How do we do that without losing all of her content that she added to my iTunes account. I have home sharing on my account.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If she creates her own iTunes account she can't use any protected content purchased under another account. She can play unprotected content synced from an iTunes library on a computer, but she can only download content from the cloud that is purchased under her account.
    It's a pain I know, but the longer you put off the move, the worse the situation will become.

  • What Sequence Setting for 4:3 Aspect Ratio?

    Just moved up from FCE to FCS2. Do commercials for small market cable and broadcast in SD 4:3 in FCE. Now in FCP I see a sequence setting for Frame Size Aspect Ratio NTSC DV that shows 3:2 aspect. Not really clear on what this is and after pouring through the manuals and searching this forum, still don't get it.
    In the end, I want normal SD 4:3 TV commercials. In FCE, it was a simple NTSC setting. Does my sequence in FCP need to be 4:3 or 3:2? Need a little education on this and can't find any explanation anywhere.
    Thanks for the help.

    What format is your source? I would never export out of FCP in that manner to achieve a frame rate conversion.
    There are a couple of ways to change your footage from 23.98 to 29.97. The easiest I feel, is to select all the clips in your 23.98 sequence using CMD+A. Then copy (CMD+C),create a new 29.97 sequence and paste (CMD+V) those clips into your new sequence. Render and export a Quicktime Movie, Self-Contained.
    However, I'm curious if you're shooting in HD based on your 23.98 frame rate. If you are, then you should be using a better SD sequence than DV which is 4:1:1 color sub-sampling. You may be throwing away half of your color information by working in that format.

    Andy:
    Using your method of copy/paste to a new 29.98 sequence solved the problem. Thanks.
    What I had done to try out the new features in FCP vs. FCE was to create a 23.98 timeline (since I am shooting in SD 24pa with a DVX100A), add a Motion Master Template, add a few jpg's to the drop zones, add 3 NTSC-formatted jpg's to the end for the logos, add a Soundtrack music bed.
    For future commercials, will likely be shooting 24pa footage, so wanted to figure out working in a 23.98 sequence. Just had not understood how to get it back to 29.98 for the cable company and broadcast stations. Your advice (copy to new sequence) makes it simple. Hopefully based on this info, I am still on the right track to accomplish my goal. I want to get the 24p look for some clients, but deliver the finished spots via upload to the stations' servers in a QT MOV.
    If you have any other advice that would improve things, ready, willing and able to listen. Been Mac-ing since Mac Plus days, but new to FCP. Made the switch from Express with the access to 24p shooting. Thanks.

  • Hard-Drive video camera compatability

    Hi all,
    On the Final Cut studio page there is a hardware compatibility utility...is there something similar for Final Cut Express? If not, can anyone tell me about hard-drive-based video cameras which can work with FCE?
    Thanks

    The only hard drive based cameras that FCE works with without third party support are cameras that shoot AVCHD.

    Firewire or USB 2.0 will be fine, look for 'Mac/OSX/Univeral Binary' if the bundle has software included.

  • HT4589 How do I move video clip clip up or down after setting letterbox, i used to be able to do this until i upgraded to 10.0.6

    I used to be able to manually move my video clip up and down in the event the browser using one of the settings. It was a vertical settings that i would use to pull a video clip down after i applied a letterbox to the clip, so I could see the top of the the video clip that got blocked out by the letterbox. Still looking no luck....I used to be able to do this just upgraded to FCPX 10.0.6 now i dont have the setting..

    think i might have solved my own problem the feature is not there i have to upgrade again to 10.0.7...this is getting annoying...

  • Video card decision for CS5

    Hi all.
    I have just purchased CS5 Production Premium, and am trying to decide on the Nvidia GTX 285 or the Quadro FX 3800. We are moving from SD to HD footage and outputting to MiniDV, Beta SP or DVD for broadcast TV.
    Would anyone care to give me a quick comparison of these two cards from experience, or even just thoughts on your experience with either card? My current setup with CS4 and the GTS250 just won't cut it with HD, as it takes forever to render anything. I don't have the time or patience to just sit and wait....
    Thanks a lot.
    Keith

    Keith,
    In theory more cores should be faster, but we have not yet seen that during our testing. It may be the immaturity of CUDA/MPE support. One system was tested with both the 285 and the 480 and there was no discernible difference, despite double the cores.
    In theory more memory should be faster because it reduces the latency of RAM - GPU - RAM transfers, but again, no hard data yet. We have seen the negative effect of dual processors versus single processor on MPE rendering however, due to the latency introduced by dual processor systems.
    There is not much difference between the various suppliers, Asus, EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, PNY, POV, etc. so the choice is based on specific features one may have over the other in terms of better cooling, quieter fan, longer warranty, better price, higher clock speed, more memory and the like. Use customer reviews on sites like Newegg to find which ones are liked.
    The law of diminishing returns may apply to video cards as well. Theoretically the 480 will be faster than the 470, but if the difference in cores will compensate the difference in price and seconds gained is something to be seen.

  • Pentax k5 II Camera raw for cs5?

    I have CS5 and could open Raw files from Pentax K7  but now have Pentax K5 II so is there a download so not have to buy cs6?

    The Pentax K5 II was first supported in Camera Raw 7.4 which is compatible with CS6 and later.

    The Pentax K7 was first supported in Camera Raw 5.4 which is compatible with CS4 and later - which is why you could read Raw files from the K7 in CS5.
    Your options:
    Upgrade to CS6
    Subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program for $9.99/month and get PS CC and Lightroom 5
    Keep CS5 and convert the K7 Raw files to DNGs using the Adobe DNG converter

  • Camera raw for CS5

    I can download the file for the CS5 camera raw update, but get an error message(U44M2P7) whem I try to install the patch.

    Be sure of the version number - the latest Camera Raw is 6.7.
    If you don't have 6.7, it's possible you might just get the right software if you choose Help - Updates inside Photoshop.
    If that doesn't work, this link might help:
