Wrong capture settings

Hi, having difficulty with my capture settings. I'm importing fine into iMovie, so it's not the tape or firewire. In FCP I keep getting the abort message, so I'm guessing something isn't matching up. Can anyone help? Thanks.

What are you trying to capture? Those settings are for DVCPRO 50....a panasonic format. If you are trying to capture DV, you need to use DV/PAL.  If this is HDV, then you use HDV settings

  • DVCPRO 50 capture settings from SDX900

    I captured some DVCPRO50 footage that I had shot on an SDX900 set at 24pa progressive. I captured it using the anamorphic DVCPRO50 preset. Looking at the footage, some clips have an interlaced frame every 3 progressive frames, while other clips have 2 interlaced and 2 progressive. These were all shot and captured with the same settings, so I'm assuming one of the capture settings are wrong.

    OK I finally went back and figured it out. I had originally used the DVCPRO50 24p capture setting, but footage was recorded at 30 with a pulldown, whichever the SDX uses for its 24p interlaced setting. I used the generic DVCPRO50 anamorphic capture setting and then the Reverse Telecine in Cinema Tools did the trick like you said. Thanks for the help

  • Sequence and Capture Settings Help Needed

    Hi there...
    Need some advice on setting my Sequence and Capture Settings in FCP 6.0.4.
    I have a Sony HDR-SR1 (AVCHD) and I know I how to bring the footage in through "Log and Transfer", but I'm not sure what I should be bring the footage in as.
    Should I capture with HDV, or can I bring the footage in as ProRes 422 (HQ)? Once captured, should the Sequence be set to HDV - 1080i/60, or should it be set to the ProRes setting? Or, does AIC still play a factor in this and I should choose that?
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I bring in as HDV, the file size will be very large. But if I bring it in at ProRes 422, the filesize will be smaller, but how much will I lose in compression?
    Also, does anyone know if I'm stuck shooting 1080i/60 or can I get 1080i/50 or 720p/24/25/30?

    The orginal footage is not DV, it is DVCPRO 25. I am capturing in the DV setting because of the length of the footage. The DVCPRO deck doesn't have a firewire output.

  • JVC SD 24p footage capture settings

    So I've been working on a short for the past few months, and just when I thought it was all ready to go, I exported for DVD and discovered that something was wrong with the footage -- somehow, in the capturing process, we dropped a frame and every 5th frame was duplicated. I am now trying to recapture the footage properly, but find that no matter what settings I tweak, the end result is the same. Can someone please tell me the proper capturing settings for footage shot in SD 24p with a JVC GY-HD camera? I do know that this is a stupid question, but hopefully that means someone will have a quick and useful answer -- which will be SO MUCH APPRECIATED. Many thanks!

    I think I'd just capture useing the easy setup for DV NTSC, and use "firewire Basic" as a device control setting for that camera.
    24p is recorded at 29.97 with a pulldown added, and you needn't remove this pulldown for any real gain with short programs.

  • Sony Z1U HDV Capture Settings for FCP 6.0

    Hi, I am shooting a project on Sony's HVR-Z1U HDV camcorder at HDV 60i NTSC. Does anyone have suggestions for settings to capture the material into FCP. I have FCP Version 6, part of the FC Studio 2 upgrade.
    Appreciate any feedback!

    There are definiitely some advantages to editing in DV rather than HDV for easy workflow and faster renders, etc.
    To capture, you'll have to get the settingns on the deck and in FCP to match. If you have the deck/camera set to HDV then choose the appropriate easy setup in FCP such as HDV 1080i60. If you want to capture as DV, then set the deck to downconvert to DV, and choose the DV NTSC easy setup. You'll want to check the anamorphic box for you capture settings and sequences, but keep in mind if your are working with DV or any SD format, that the anamorphic setting can be esaily applied to clips and sequences after creation or capture.
    When you export your web clips with compressor, figure out a square-pixel frame size that is some multiple of 16:9.

  • Capture Settings for uncompressed Video Vs DV Video

    Im capturing footage from Digibeta masters via a J30 deck using a single SDI cable connected to my black magic extreme, (captured using the Blackmagic uncompressed 10 bit setting) editing in FCP and exporting to SD dvd via compressor using "dvd best quality 90 mins anamorphic".
    Up untill today i had been using the same workflow EXCEPT i had been capturing over firewire using DV PAL anamorphic to work in the DV PAL format.
    Comparing the final result of both workflows im not seeing a huge difference (the original footage is the same in both cases).
    Are there any capture settings i can play with that will improve the quality of the final product or should i be looking at the bitrates in compressor instead?
    I just want to make sure im not arsing up the capture and that i am capturing as much info as i can from the digibeta masters. The files created from he digi's are a lot larger then the files from the Dv stuff but i just dont feel im seeing that on screen - any advice?
    thanks,
    S

    All the original footage was shot on 35mm by a pro cinematographer - me:) Each project was mastered to Digibeta. What i want to do is show that footage in its best "light" so to speak, but i am limited to presenting it on SD DVD until Blu-ray takes off.
    Up untill recently i had been using the Digi to DV to DVD workflow i had described above. With a recent desktop upgrade i am now recapturing all the same material from the same Digimasters using the uncompressed 10bit to dvd workflow descibed above so that i can avoid the afrementioned dv compression in the middle.
    Obviously i can see a difference between uncompressed and Dv footage natively but when i view them both on DVD on a PAL monitor i cant see as big a difference as i had hoped i would see.
    can i improve this difference with my capture settings or do i need to work on my dvd bitrate settings or a combination of both?

  • Batch capture settings do not match project settings

    Batch capture audio settings do not conform to project settings-

    Please note audio setting for project 48kHz (16 bit) audio.
    When I set for batch capture by creating off-line clips using the "Log Clip" option the off-line clip shows audio as
    32KHZ 16-bit  everyting else is correct as project settings.
    Just prior to creating the off-line batch capture clip I had sucessfully captured from the same device using the same tape shot with the above settings including 48khz 16-bit audio by using standard " Capture" by setting in & out then clicking Capture>In/Out.
    I've looked at capture settings etc...unable to determine to change audio settings etc or why the audio settings under batch capture do not conform to project settings...
    Any ideas?
    Tnx,
    mick

    Thanks for your reply, Harm....
    Well now...having negated all the possibilities you listed, I decided to do a an actual batch capture with clips which I previously logged which reported audio at 32kHz instead of the project setting of 48kHz:
    1. two clips  were selected from the same device/tape ( both selected from the logging util which erroneously reported audio at 32kHz) for the batch
    2. both clips captured "flawlessly"
    3. both clips after the batch capture then reported audio as being 48kHz
    Btw, I also did a batch capture from the same device/tape in Pr 6.x...and it reported and captured at 48khz...I must say, I must prefer the legacy version of Pr 6 for batch capture which creates a log .pbl file which can then be easily exported as a csv to and .xls etc..IMO, much more useful...and useable..
    Mi dos pesos(.002US)
    So it would appear there is some kind of bug in the Pr cs4 batch capture util that is erroneously reporting audio settings?
    Should this go to the devel as a possible bug?
    Tnx,

  • TV@ Plus, what video capture settings to use?

     I have a TV@ Plus and am unsure what video capture settings to use. I've had it for several months and solved my audio problems and need to know what Video Input Format, Capture Format (Profile), Capture - Size, Quality, Bit Rate and Audio Format settings to use. Should I use the same settings for all input sources or do I use different settings for CATV and S-video inputs? It seems to be OK with my current settings as far as capture and playback goes, I'm OK on the hardware part but with tech detatails I'm a bit  .
     I will be using it to capture from CATV, DVD and VCR input sources for later recording to DVD's. I use a GoDVD! CT-2 connected to the S-video input for recording Macrovision protected media to the HDD.
     My computer sound is monitor mounted stereo speakers.
     Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

    I already had transferred and converted some of my old VHS and VCD movie collections into DVDs (using Composite Input).
    The higher the bit rate the better quality video output you will have - but bigger file size.
    To give you an example:
    A 2 hour video captured on MPEG set at 4000/bps will be translated it to 3.58GB. More than enough to be written on a 4.7 DVD.
    For audio bit rates, you can choose from 128/bps to 224/bps. As for me I set it to 224/bps. Again the bigger bit rates the better audio output. And don't forget to slide up the audio record level to 100%. That will give you a better and clearer recorded audio output.

  • Capture settings for Canon XL2 shot in: 16:9 24p 2:3:3:2

    I just boght the XL2 and FCP, and need to capture a four hour interview I shot today in 16:9 24p 2:3:3:2. I just don't know how to set up the capture settings correctly.
    Thanks guys,

    Well, 2:3:#:2 pulldown refers to the way your camera flags the frames while they're recorded, in other words there's not real 24P recording while using tape, because video runs @ 29.97fps ,(what the camera does is to tell to your editing machine that it has to spread the 1st frame over the two first fields the second frame over the next three fields the third frame again over three fields and so on, from there it why it's call 2:3:3:2 pulldown) so in fact to capture true 24P for editing you have to remove the pulldown and remember,if you later are going to edit to tape you'll have to re-apply the pulldown so it prints well to a 29.97 device.
    Hope I was clear enough

  • Wrongly captured in our cenvat invoice and RG-23D Register

    Hi Users,
    I am facing a problem in CIN- where Excise details are wrongly captured in our cenvat invoice and RG-23D Register can anyone guide me the possibilities of errors, ASAP  Please............
    Tahnks & Regards
    Siva

    I have already done that. Paking indicator has also been maintained in the J_1IRG1 as well. I have executed the note as well. Its not that the values are not flowing. It is
    for instance
    Opening Balance     Quantity Manufactured         TOTAL     REMOVALS
                                                             Quantity     Value
    0                                  100                    0     0     0
    0                                  100                    0     0     0
    0                                  100                    0     0     0
    0                                    0                    0     10     0
    0                                    0                    0     10     0
    If you see above the opening balance in the second line item should be 100 and third should be 200...
    Also the removals qty are reflected ut not value. Pls explain. The problem kin the closing balances is of the same type.

  • FCP7 Capture Settings - HDV Audio

    I am capturing just fine with FCP 7 and a Canon HV30 camcorder. However, I would like to be able to turn off the audio monitoring while the capturing is in progress.
    Previous versions of FCP did not have audio monitoring with HDV cameras, and wasn't a problem. Now, I can't get it to be quiet without muting my system audio.
    The HDV capture settings are not editable, nor can I duplicate the preset.
    The capture window clip settings does not include a preview toggle.
    Any ideas?

    bump... HDV audio monitoring during capture, I have been unable to figure out how to shut it off.

  • FCP6 troubles with wrong timeline settings

    I have several timelines and one of them is set up all wrong. The aspect ratio is wrong. If i copy the video from the timeline (apple+c and paste) and throw them in the timeline which is set up in the right way why the video files are still in the wrong aspect ratio? There's nothing wrong with files cause if I start all over again the aspect ratio is right.
    I've also tried to change manually the wrong timeline settings to the right ones but it doesn't seem to work either. Could someone know how to help me?
    Videos are dvcproHD and I'm running FCP6.

    Well... basically unclear about mnost of it. Try some specifics. Sequence settings for example. Keep in mind if you create universal sequence settings in preferences, they only take effect in sequences mada AFTER the change. To change an existing sequence, use the sequence pulldown at the top.

  • Excise invoice wrongly captured as Capital Goods instead of Raw material

    All SAP Gurus,
    We have wrongly captured Excise invoice as Capital Goods instead of Raw material (part I entry has been created at the time of GR, MIGO).
    Excise invoice is not posted yet.
    How to correct this mistake?
    Regards,

    Hi Rajan,
    We dont have such provision in Standard SAP to correct this types of wrongly posted transaction.
    Only things you have to do that.
    1. 1st cancel the GR using MIGO---> Cancellation
    2. Then Using J1IEX-> Cancel-> Enter Internal/External Excise Invoice No.---> Rejection Code in
    Miscellanious Tab---> Save it----> You have to confirm the Captured Excise Invoice when system asked for.
    Then Again you have follow the Standard procedure to Excise Capture/GR post/ Excise Post procedure to post GR and Capture/post  Excise Invoice.
    Hope this will helps you to resove you issue.
    Cheers

  • Can't get Avid codecs to  show in capture settings

    I have a few Avid codecs but can't get them to show in easy settup or capture settings. They do sow in my sequece (compressor) setings Can I get these to show inmy easy settup and in capture settings?
    Jeff

    By this I guess you mean I can transcode to an Avid codec but not capture.
    Convert/Transcode...yes. But not in FCP. You'd do this via QT Export, or...hmmm...QT Conversion when you export.
    In this case what setting would you recommend for capture?
    Well, what camera did you shoot this footage with? What is your intended use of it? Final Delivery?

  • FCE Capture Settings Help Please!

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out how to set the capture settings correctly in FCE. I have a Panasonic AG-DVX100BP and when I capture the video, the quality is terrible. Now I know that the capture viewer doesn't play the video in the quality that it is recorded. But I tested what I captured by exporting it to a QT movie and it still looks terrible. Yet, when I view the video in the preview window, before I capture, it looks exactly how I want it to look, how it was shot. My current settings are: Format: DV/Panasonic DVCPRO Rate: 29.97fps Use: DV-NTSC. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

    Is your clip in the QuickTime player set to high quality playback? You really need to view this material on a video monitor, not a computer monitor.
