What frame rates does FCP 7 support?

The manual does not mention 1080p60 once while it enumerates virtually every other resolution, frame rate and interlaced/progressive that typical camcorders can record. I thought that meant it did not support 1080p60, but it is clear from several posts here that it does support it. Does FCP 7 support 1080p60 with some restrictions? Does FCP 7 support any frame rate--say 5,000 frames a second that a high speed camera might generate? Thanks, Dennis

It supports 1080p60...that is 1080p at 60fps (because 1080i60 means 29.97 fps)...but you have to modify things. That is a non-standard format. BluRay discs don't play that, only one high end tape format supports that format. Because of this lack of real support for this format, barring very high end, it isn't a general setting in FCP.
yes, there are cameras that shoot that format. And I suppose they are meant to have you play back from the camera, or SD card player (some BluRay players do this).
Does FCP 7 support any frame rate--say 5,000 frames a second that a high speed camera might generate?
FCP supports editing of professional broadcast formats. Cameras that shoot 5000fps, generally are meant to then output that to one of the broadcast formats...23.98, 29.97. Thus getting that slow motion. You don't edit 5000fps. NO editing app edits 5000fps. It gets converted to the proper frame rate, then edited. The Phantom camera files are converted for editing.

  • What Frame Rate does Catalyst export .SWF at?

    What Frame Rate does Catalyst export .SWF at?
    When I import a SWF file from Catalyst into another flash program, won't display never mind play, the error I get is that the frame rates don't match,
    therefore I need to know what  frame rate it exports at?

    If you have a SWF created by Catalyst, and you're using that SWF in something you're creating with Flash Builder or Flash Pro, then I think frame rate shouldn't matter. But maybe if you can give more details I could help more... Which flash program are you importing the SWF into, what commands or code are you using to do the import? Is there an error message or alert, if so what does it say? Any info you can provide will be helpful.
    Thanks

  • What frame-rate does your computer play 1080p video?

    At what frame-rate do the Intel iMacs play 1080p videos? You can test this by doing a Get-Info while the clip is playing. The info window will show how many fps (frames per second) of video is being displayed.
    Here's a link to some video clips, be sure to choose 1080p (not 720p or 480p):
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/
    -thanks

    My 17" Intel Core Duo 1.83 has no trouble playing the 1080 p at 24 fps, it ranges from 23.5 to 24.5 depending on the scene etc. Processor cores running at 60%.
    The lower resolution 1080p (it said 1080p but was 1440 by 1080) Didn't even stutter (stayed at 24 fps) when I opened MS Word in Rosetta mode. Even opening Excel, FireFox, iTunes, and iPhoto at the same time and it dropped to 23 fps for about half a second and rebounded to 25.5 fps before settling back at 24 fps.
    The true 1080p (1920x1080) dropped to 18 or 20 fps when other applications were opened. I should point out that these tests were run when the video was still downloading. And in some of the very high speed scenes it would drop to 18 or 20 frames/second for a short time (hardly noticeable). Other applications were running during this time as well. This was the 1080p version of http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/higherground.html
    I should point out in 1080p the window is too large to fit on the screen of the 17" monitor. For the test I ran it with the image partially off the screen so it is running at native resolution (however it runs just as fast at any window size). 1080p is 1920 x 1080, so I imagine this is why the 20" is recommended for 1080p. If you have QuickTime Pro you can watch it full screen mode.

  • Which HDV does FCP support?

    I'm interested in shooting in HDV and cut it on FCP. But there seems to be 2 different types of HDV from Sony, and JVC. I'm quite confused:
    1) Which one can be cut on FCP.
    2) Can it be output to any deck such as Digibetacam?
    3) Can it be input or output to a deck by component, S-video or composit? Will it lose quality?
    4) does FCP support the new Panasinic P2 camera?
    5) Fianlly, is there any different between the Sony & JVC HDV's, both in cameras and in Decks (if there's any)?
    I'm leaning towards the JVC HDV. But if FCP does not support it, I'll have a problem.
    Thanks for anyone with any insight.

    1) FCP mainly supports the Sony format, but also supports the JVC format, although ONLY the 720p30 setting, not 24p. You can also use HDVxDV to convert the footage to "I" frames, which I hear is a decent way to cut HDV.
    2) Yes, but only if you have a capture card. Outputting to digibeta will always require a capture card. And you will have to render your HDV footage in an SD sequence...as Digibeta is an SD format.
    3) Yes, it can. This is probably the better way to import HDV footage, IMHO. With the use of an HD capture card, you can import HDV in a different HD format which is easier to work with. Lose quality, yes, some quality will be lost, but nothing you'd notice.
    4) It supports the DVCPRO HD format, but as of yet there isn't a card reader for the P2 cards designed for the Mac yet. That will be remedied soon. But hey, the camera isn't even OUT yet, so patience man!
    5) Yes, there is a difference. They record different flavors of HDV. Sony and Canon record using a long GOP (group of pictures) and JVC uses a short GOP.
    If you lean towards the JVC, only shoot 720p30 if you intend on editing with FCP, or get an HD capture card and plenty of high speed storage if you want to capture it in a different HD format.

  • What frame rate should you build your Flash file at?

    Every second of video has 30 frames. But Flash animations can
    be done at any frame rate, which raises a couple of important
    questions:what frame rate should you work at, and second, if you
    choose to work at a rate other than 30 frames per second (fps), how
    do you convert to 30 fps? I deal with the question of frame rate
    conversion below.
    You can create a Flash movie at 30 fps. But if is going to be
    played back on a computer, a 30 fps .swf file will generally
    produce unacceptably high data rates, unless the image is very
    small and simple, or the computer it is playing on is very fast. It
    can also create a lot of extra animation work if you want to draw
    in-betweens for all 30 frames. Fortunately, there is no need to
    build your Flash movie at 30 fps, even if you are planning to
    transfer it to video.
    I usually build animation that needs to work on the web or
    video at 12 fps. This gives us a good balance of lower data rates
    and smoother animation. When creating cartoon style animation, it
    also keeps our work consistent with the majority of broadcast
    animation. While some high end cel animation is done at 24 frames
    per second (the rate that film is projected at), much broadcast
    animation is created at 12 fps. This is because it is drawn on
    "2's." In other words, each image holds for 2 frames. Do the math
    and it becomes clear why--half the amount of frames to draw each
    second. While Disney and Dreamworks may have virtually unlimited
    budgets to create their epic animations, most broadcast (and even
    more so, Internet) productions are on very tight budgets. But even
    the big studios do a lot of character animation on 2's. It looks
    good that way, so why create twice the work?
    If we are using flash to build a cartoon solely aimed at
    broadcast or film, however, we build it at 24 fps. That way we can
    animate on 2's for most of the character animation, but do animate
    on 1's for segments or particular motions that require smoother
    animation.
    If we are using Flash to build graphics for broadcast use
    only, and so won't be hand drawing in betweens, we usually build
    the file at 30 fps. This will give us the smoothest motion, and
    data rate won't be an issue for you. It is also possible to even
    build it at 60 fps, and convert this to a 30 fps video with fields
    In the end, you can decide to build it at any rate you want.
    The lower the rate, the smaller the file size, data rate and number
    of frames to animate, but the less smooth the animation.
    Conversely, the higher the frame rate, the higher the file size,
    data rate and number of frames to animate, but with smoother
    animation.
    now I use
    FLASH VIDEO MX PRO
    to covnert Video in multiple formats to FLV or SWF, I set the frame
    size just as above, I always get soomth Flash
    at the meantime, I have to set video rate when I use
    FLV To Video Convert
    Pro to play the video in my iPod, if you set the wrong frame
    rate, your iPod and other devices may not support the frame rate

    Usually video quality has nothing with frame rate, but when
    you convert flash to iPhone or other devices, you should think of
    which frame rate video can your device play. when I convert .swf to
    iPhone with
    SWF to Video
    Converter, as you know, iPhone can only support frame rate from
    2 to 15 or a little more, I always choose 15. In this scare, frame
    rate is higher, the quality is better.

  • What files formats does Itunes support

    what files formats does Itunes support???
    Been trying to load some anime into Itunes and they wont play on my Apple Tv, though they play on the computer. Why is that. I've got codes and all that other jazz. What gives....

    iTunes 11 can currently read, write and convert between MP3, AIFF, WAV, MPEG-4, AAC and Apple Lossless (.m4a).
    iTunes can also play any audio files that QuickTime can play (as well as some video formats), including Protected AAC files from the iTunes Store and Audible.com audio books. There is limited support for Vorbis and FLAC enclosed in an Ogg container (files using the Ogg container format are not natively supported) or Speex codecs with the Xiph QuickTime Components. Because tag editing and album art is done within iTunes and not QuickTime, these features will not work with these QuickTime components. As of Snow Leopard, iTunes 9 (Mac) will play HE-AAC / AAC+ internet streams. The latest version of iTunes (Win/Mac) supports importing audio CDs with the default iTunes standard file format of AAC at 256 kbit/s, but users can choose from 16 kbit/s to 320 kbit/s constant bit rates (CBR) in either AAC or MP3.[citation needed] Importing of audio CDs into MP3 or AAC formats can also be accomplished using variable bitrate (VBR) encoding.
    The Windows version of iTunes can automatically transcode DRM-free WMA (including version 9) files to other audio formats, but does not support playback of WMA files and will not transcode DRM protected WMA files. Telestream, Inc. provides free codecs for Mac users of QuickTime to enable playback of unprotected Windows Media files. These codecs are recommended by Microsoft.[34]
    In addition to importing CDs into the iTunes library, the user can also import non-Apple mp3 files from Amazon.com and other sources. This can be accomplished by either right clicking on the file, selecting open with, and then selecting iTunes or dragging the file into the open iTunes window. Alternatively, for Amazon.com mp3s, the Amazon MP3 Downloader application will automatically import the mp3 files into the iTunes library.

  • Does FCP support the new Panasonic AVC Intra codec?

    Does FCP support the new Panasonic AVC Intra codec?
    NOT AVCHD but AVC Intra?
    Will it require more rendering or converting before I can use it?
    I am looking at buying the HPX-2000 with the new AVC Intra board, recording to P2. AVC Intra is H.264 codec.

    I don't think this is supported yet.. but the camera's ability to shoot DVCPROHD certainly is.

  • Does fcp support 1080 25p capture at all?

    does fcp support 1080 25p capture at all?  not some workaround.

    Try making a custom setting. One thing that annoys me about Decklink is that they have a SHORT list of Presets. When I had the Extreme 3D installed, I had ProRes LT and ProRes HQ...no ProRes 422, no ProRes Proxy.  BMD's suggestion was to duplicate a preset and customize it to fit my needs.  They wanted a short list, because they felt people would be daunted by the HUGE list.  AJA gives the FULL list...they know we aren't daunted.
    Duplicate a preset and modify it to suit your needs...see if it works.

  • What frame rate?

    What frame rate & key frames settings should I export my HD video in? Any other setting suggestions to get the highest quality HD video would greatly be appreciated.

    Hi
    A. Can You set key-frame rate in iMovie'08 - Didn't know this. In FinalCut Yes.
    I set same as project requires.
    B. 25 fps = PAL interlaced for TV. 29.97 = NTSC for TV
    For 720i and 720p resp 1080i or p - Don't know. My guess 25/50 or 29.97/60.

  • What frame-rate should I choose for iOS devices ?

    Hi there,
    I have my project set to 60FPS. everything looks smooth and fine  when testing on the iphone 4s.
    I don't have a 3G to test on yet, should I leave the framerate as 60FPS for 3g or lower it?
    I don't really understand how to determine what to set the framerate for best performance or even if it matters.
    Just after some clarification about what to set the framerate to.
    Thanks

    Yes release is same as non-debug
    Okay I finally get your question.
    The idea is to keep a value for fps that meets your requirement. Using a value higher than this wastes resources. A simple example would be running an application at 60 fps that is an enterprise application which is clearly wasteful. For your scrolling usecase, if your performance requirement is of 40 fps then keep framerate at 40. Now two things can happen either your device will have enough juice to run at 40 fps or it won't have. If it has the juice it will run at 40 fps no issues. But if it does not have enough juice then it won't and cause stutter. In such a case raising the framerate to 60 will serve no purpose, because that relatively slower device could not scroll at 40 fps, no chance of it to scroll at 60 fps. You should not concern yourself to keep different framerates for different devices. Keep the framerate at a value that meets your requirement, if the underlying device can play at that fps it will play, otherwise it will stutter.
    To answer your original question, no you will not get smoother scrolling on a lower frame rate.

  • What frame rate should I use?

    I have started a new project. There is no one format that I will be using. The only constant is that I will be outputting to Blu Ray DVD. The content will include a mix of video, stills and motion graphics all about equally. I have traditionally used 29.97 for all my timelines. However, since my distribution will be primarily for Blu Ray players and/or H.264 for computer display, would my video quality benefit if I set up my editing timebase to be 60?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Blu-ray does not support 1080p60. It supports 1080i60 and 1080p24. If you wanted 60p, then you would use 720p60.
    The problem with this issue is that a great deal of the public thinks that 1920x1080 is "1080p" without knowing what that means. So there is some confusion over 1080p60 in particular. Consumer cameras with that resolution and rate just appeared.

  • Mixed frame rate in FCP seqeunce

    Used 2 differnt cameras on a shoot, one a new one which I was testing, Panasonic GH2.
    I  set camera to shoot 720 24 fps and during shoot did one test using 1080 24fps.
    Also shot with Panasonic HVX 200 720 24 p
    SO I screwed up the setting SOMEHOW and now have footage 1080 59.94 and 720 29.9...very irritating as all the footage looks gorgeous quality.
    I tested and the 1080p footage will come into a seq. set to 720 29.9 with a green render line, and does render out and give a smooth running image.
    MY QUESTION is about seq settings and codec.
    I had seq. set to DVCPRO NTSC 720 23.9 as I thought this is what I had set my footage to be.
    Using apple Intermediate codec.
    This is a balls up I know but the footage does seem to run even though the frame rates differ. most of the footage is 1280 720 59.94, what would be the optimal seq.set and codec to runs this fooatge.
    I did set up some sequences with different settings to test how the mixed footage would run, and each time I opened the seq. a message box would come up and say seq AND footage does not match settings, do you want to change it to match, to which I answered yes.
    Any advise regarding all or any of this.

  • What frame rate timeline should I use for 1080p 60fps premiere pro

    When using 1080p 60fps clips what sequence should I use when creating a timeline that would work the best for slow mo application?
    I read that you should use a 24 fps timeline but i'm not sure?
    Also I have a few 720 @ 120 fps, should I create a separate sequence for that and what kind of timeline should I use since cs5 only has 1080 @ 60fps option?

    24 is a good frame rate for most animations but some people like 30 and for the max stress on user systems and animation smoothness, use 60.

  • Does FCP support 1080i open GOP HDV files?

    Hello........
    A FCP pre-purchase customer question:
    Will FCP support 1080i open GOP HDV for seamless editing ? My capturing device requires it.
    My previous NLE has frame errors/stutters that occur when placing two or more .m2t or .mov clips side by side that were captured consecutively on a Firestore Recorder (FS-4 Pro HD).
    The Firestore FS-4 ProHD captures 1080i HDV into 9 minute clips ( approx 2GB, but not always the exact same byte size ), which then can be dropped into an NLE timeline and played back seamlessly, one after another. This feature is essential to my multi-cam editing of 2 hour live music performances.
    I've gotten approval from Firestore to use FCP, Canopus Edius, or Avid, and I'm willing to give FCP a try if Apple can absolutely confirm before purchasing.
    Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    FCS2 doesn't support .m2t files, you will need to use Streamclip to convert if your Firestore device doesn't make .mov files.
    http://www.squared5.com/
    FCS2 supports long Gop HDV editing,
    Good Luck
