    Hey, I just got a JVC GZ-HD7. it’s a 1080i HD camera and records on to a hard disk.
    The files that I bring onto my mac are .TOD files but they don’t work in Quicktime without the software JVC gives you (Which IS for mac) won’t work so I bring the .TOD files into VLC playerand export them from that to Mpeg TS files. After that I bring them into a program called “MPEG Streamclip”. Here I click “export to Quicktime” and use these settings…

    Compression – Apple DVCPRO HD 1080i50
    Frame size – 1920 x 1080 (HDTV 1080i)
    Frame rate – 25 fps
    And the click Deinterlace video.

    it exports as a .mov and then I import it into Final Cut Pro… Could someone tell me what settings I should us in FCP because it keeps coming up with the red unrendered bar. Thanks.

    Shane

    A stab in the dark: Keep you frame rate at 50 (not 25) and don’t deinterlace. Then use the DVCProHD 1080i50 preset in FCP

    If that doesn’t work, create a new sequence in the format you want to work in and compare what settings in the sequence are different than th one in your exported clip and try to match them up.

    I did a similar thing getting 1080i59.94 MPEG transport streams to work in FCP using MPEGStreamClip. Trial and error. Just make sure to save presets as you work in MPEGSC otherwise you’ll never remember what you just did that got it to work!
