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.

  • 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.

  • HT204389 When iOS 6 Arrives, Which Countries does it support?

    Thanks

    Since it has not been released, and won't be released until this fall, your questions cannot be answered. You'll find out when everyone finds out: when Apple releases iOS 6.0.

  • 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.

    FCS2 supports long Gop HDV editing,
    Good Luck

  • Which filetypes does iMovie support?

    I recently recorded some HDV footage (.M2T mpeg) for someone else to edit in iMovie. I added a soundtrack in Adobe Premiere on a PC and need to export it out. Should I convert it to something else?
    Alex

    the file icons have padlocks on the Mac
    You can change the permissions in Get Info.
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law

    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • Does FCP support the JVC SR-DVM700 deck yet?

    I know there have been past complaints by people who have not had any luck getting FCP to recognize the JVC SR-DVM700 deck. I am in the same boat. Does anybody know if this situation is any better?

    I'm having a similar issue with the JVC SR-DVM700U deck. I tried with the same resolve. I also tried the capture now feature while playing the tape, but as I stopped the capture it came up with an error saying unrecognizable video or file type. I have also clip and batch captured only for it to return a no video error as well. I can only assume maybe the HDD might be slowing the deck down some how, even though it is not on. It works fine with my PC and matrox/Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 . I alsotried messing with firewire/ firewire basic settings in Final Cut as well as dropframe and non. I hope I can some how use this deck with the this new MAC and Final Cut. Thanks for any help.

  • Does FCP support the new iFrame format?

    I know the update was just released for iMovie, and I was thinking of nabbing one of these new Sanyo cams. Sometimes I use FCP for editing though.

    Your welcome Nick. I may be wrong, they may add it to FCP, who am I to second guess Apple, but you would of thought they would of put a camera in the new iPod touch too, but they didn't. So... you just never know. I'll certainly let you know if it's in the next update though.
