HDV / Lumiere HD / FCP5
I’m so close, and yet so far to working with HDV in FCP5. It’s nearly perfect.
I am using Lumiere HD to capture and convert HD 720P24 footage from a JVC HDV deck.
I’m having to batch convert 5 x 60min captures using the “Timeline Codec” section of Lumiere HD.
I did a test run for a 15min video, dropped it into the timeline and it worked beautifully. Audio in sync, full 1280×720, real time effects work… No worries; on to the real thing.
So I batch convert my 5 x 60min m2v’s – this took about 10hrs.
Get my new files, drop them into the timeline… and…. each has all the audio, but each of the five video clips come in with a running time of exactly:
00:31:15:13
… instead of the 60mins I was expecting.
Weird.
What should I do?
Than Q!

I had the same problem, just getting my feet wet now with LHD, shot with JVC HD100 in HDV 720p/24 mode, I read the last line of the Read Me file that comes with LHD that there is a bug and that you should limit your capture files to 28 minutes. Also, I’m having two other issues. 1. Do you create a new XML file for each batch of “Realtimes” that you prepare for the Timeline Encode? and then import that new XML into FCP when your ready to use those clips? 2. For some reason the dimensions of my 1280×720 frame are off slightly. Checking the item properties and it confirms that the files are all 1280×720, but visually on my NTSC monitor (down converted through the JVC HD Pro VTR) the right vertical edge of black is about a half inch from the right hand side, it’s very noticable when in underscan, but also appears in overscan. I don’t see this vertical black bar on the right edge of frame when play back camera master footage through the deck, it only occurs after I’ve done the entire Lumiere HD process. Any thoughts?
