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".

    We will customize a very detailed reply, but
    (a) What are the properties of your source media?
    (b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
    (c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
    File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.

  • What are the correct Premiere Pro CS4 settings for producing WMV/MP4 to FLV/F4V videos?

    Greetings.
    I have recently purchased CS4 Production Suite.  My task is to convert WMV/MP4 videos to FLV/F4V videos that contain titles, transitions, and credits for streaming from Flash Media Server.
    My test videos are experiencing audio sync issues when using Adobe Media Encoder as the export tool.  When I use Flash Video Export tool using the source WMV/MP4, I do not experience sync issues.
    I can control the WMV/MP4 output settings since we record our own sessions using Windows Media Encoder.  I can also utilize Flash Media Live Encoder to capture the source.
    The video source comes from a video capture card (Osprey) that is connected to an IP based camera(s) which are controlled by video technicians.
    We record from that capture card into WMV format.
    My question is, what are the settings in Premiere to produce FLV/F4V for streaming in 480p quality?
    I am new to video production and gladly appreciate any assistance.
    Regards,
    Shack

    Jim,
    Thank you for your response.  I am a total noob at video, but have the requirement to produce recorded video to our FMS servers.
    Here is my situation.  We have classrooms and auditoriums hard wired with IP cameras.  Our video techs can record to DVR and then finalize to DVD (VOB).  We also have a control center that can capture those cameras using Windows Media Encoder to record.
    I have been given CS4 to produce these videos.  Each time that I transcode, the audio gets out of sync.  I am trying to figure out a suitable way to take VOB and WMV files into PP and output to FLV/MP4.
    Appreciate any advice...

  • What are the supported Macintosh Operating System versions for IBM SPSS Statistics 18,19 and 20?   Question  I would like to know what are the supported Macintosh Operating system versions for IBM SPSS Statistics versions 18, 19 and 20? Answer  Please see

    What are the supported Macintosh Operating System versions for IBM SPSS Statistics 18,19 and 20?
    Question
    I would like to know what are the supported Macintosh Operating system versions for IBM SPSS Statistics versions 18, 19 and 20?
    Answer
    Please see the list below:
    - IBM SPSS Statistics 18 and 19 releases are supported on Apple Macintosh OS 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard) with Intel processor.
    - IBM SPSS Statistics 20 release is supported on Apple Macintosh OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.7 (Lion) with Intel processor.
    - The IBM SPSS Statistics versions 18 and 19 are not supported on Mac OS 10.7 (Lion).
    THIS MEANS THAT TO USE LION ONE FIRST HAS TO UPGRADE TO SPSS STATISTICS 20.

    Whilst the 2012-02-15 edition of IBM's matrix does not mention Lion, a few users have noted that:
    • 18.0 can be troublesome
    • an updated version of 18.x should be better.
    Related files
    PASWStatistics_1 803_Mac_Patch.dmg and IBM SPSS Statistics 18.0.3.4 Hotfix Mac.zip are no longer available from the spss.com domain, and I could not find them in an IBM domain. If you download from unofficial sources, proceed with caution.
    Related pages
    In Apple Support Communities:
    • will PASW (SPSS) 18 work with LION
    • PASW statistics 18 crashes every time
    • Java Virtual Machine & SPSS 18 with a question from me.
    Elsewhere:

    • Patching PASW 18 (or SPSS 18) for Mac OS X (Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion) to version 18.0.3.1
    • and other sources, including one domain that I treat as reputable but I'll respectfully not share that link here.
    At a glance, you might find that 18.0.3.4 is compatible with Lion.

  • What are the delta mechanisms and tables used for  Lo Extraction & COPA

    Hi all
    what are the delta mechanisms and tables used for  Lo Extraction & COPA.
    please explain clealry.
    Thanks & Regards,
    James

    James,
    Please go through Roberto's weblog :
    /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/02/14/logistic-cockpit--when-you-need-more--first-option-enhance-it
    Anyways,
    As you know LO cockpit consists of different modules(MM, PP, SD, etc)
    They are called appl components. Each of them have a number (eg.MM=02) and for each appl comp they might be different Data sources and for each DS they might be different tables. So, unless you be specific we cant tell a specific table for a DS.
    coming to the delta mechanisms, there are " direct delta, queqed delta and serialized delta".
    Copa is based on the oepration concern. it can be created on " accouting based" or "costing based".

  • What Are The Correct Gray OS X Discs For This Imac?

    I got a free 700Mhz G4, 15" Screen, 512mb Ram, 40GB HDD and I was wondering what are the correct OS X discs (Gray) that came with this Mac?
    There has to be a serial or model number right? I have Leopard installed on it and I missing having the DVD player so could I connect the iMac to my PowerMac G5 using Target Disc Mode, and then install Panther or Tiger onto the iMac through it?

    The correct Mac OS restore discs are Mac OS X 10.1.2 and Mac OS 9.2.2. I have restore discs for a 600MHz Late 2001 iMac G3, which has the same identical software as the iMac G4. That part number for the disc set is 603-0372.
    For the second part of your question, you can install Panther or Tiger through Target Disc Mode from your PM G5.

  • HT5117 What are the new dpi and pixel rules for ibook cover art?

    Plz tell me the new pixel and dpi requirements for ibooks. Thx

    K T wrote:
    Image dpi has a direct effect on image quality.
    An image has no dpi, only pixels. What has dpi is the display that shows the image.
    The pixel dimensions are an attribute of the image and determine how much information is in the image. The dpi is an attribute of the display and determines how many pixels are displayed in a given area.
    The two values are independent and have nothing to do with each other.
    If a program such as Photoshop or InDesign allows you to specify a dpi setting, it is so it can export an image with pixel dimensions that match the dpi of the target display, so the image appears at a pre-determined physical size. The programs also use the dpi setting so, when you ask to be shown the image at original size, the software can scale the image so it appears at that size even on a display whose dpi does not match the dpi of the target display.
    When you upload a cover image, there is no dpi. There is one and only one thing: the pixel dimensions of the image.

  • New FCP user trying to learn the correct project and export settings for HD

    Hi, I am a novice and have used FCP on my laptop for university projects only, and now have been asked to cut a trailer for a 7 min HD Pilot.
    A. I had to work in a different part of the country for the last 2 weeks therefore making this more problematic for myself long term hence:
    B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
    C. I created a low res QT to work with in FCP and have probably set up my project in a odd/wrong way and need to export this DV low res version for viewing by tomorrow, and I would ideally like it to look like the right aspect ratio and what not.
    I know very little about ratios and interlaced and progressive files, and this project has been shot manly on a digital SLR camera for the animation, it has After Effects files and with sections of live action which I think was shot in HD 'i' mode.
    I would like to learn quickly the sort of setup I should have for this kind of project, how I should export this low res DV version for viewing and for exporting the final HD project with what settings I should use.
    I am sure I should have detailed more information, but as it is im not sure what is relevant. I can find out if im pointed in the right direction.
    Hope someone can help
    Cheers
    Kat

    B. I have only been given a QT file of the pilot, as to cut a rough idea of the trailer, which I will then have to redo with the original HD files, when I return to them tomorrow.
    Well, this will make cutting more difficult. Because a low res version of the trailer will not have any timecode...nothing that references the main movie. So you will do the cut with the QT movie and then have to go back and eyematch-cut the trailer with the high res footage. Not fun and very time consuming. Not to mention that you will be cutting with the mixed audio of the trailer, including music and that will not sound right when you cut the trailer with the new music.
    You need a QT version of the movie that contains the timecode of the original master (using media Manager to recompress to DV or other offline codec will do this), and you REALLY need to get split track audio. If they are record producers, they'll know what that is.
