    Advice on HDV-ProRes capture FCP 7

    Hi

    this maybe a stupid question

    Easy Setup Options

    I am Capturing HDV 1080i60 Tape footage with (Firewire Sony HDV) into ProRes 422 using the Easy Setup, is there a reason once ProRes 422 (format) is chosen that you only have the the HDV-ProRes 422 1080p24 option to chose from in USE?

    When l try the (capture Preset settings) using the Audio/Video set up the only options l have to capture (using ProRes)is 422 standard, 422 HQ and Apple intermediate Codec and all the DV or DVCPRO settings That’s All, l don’t have the ProRes LT, Proxy or 444 is there a reason for this or is my list of settings not up to date it seems very small and few to chose from???

    why can’t l use the other ProRes formats?? or see all the other formats as l can with the Sequence settings setup?

    The Footage l have captured as a test! using the Easy Set Up format ProRes 422 also seems to have changed the Dimensions-Frame Rate when l CHECK INFO on the Captured file. when l check the file in the Scratch Disk l get a Frame rate of 1920×1080 but the Project Browser file information tells me 1440×1080 any idea on that

    the information l get from Scratch disk file direct is

    Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, Timecode
    Color Profile HD (1-1-1)
    Dimensions 1920 × 1080

    and the FCP Browser information Dimensions tell they are at 1440×1080 with the same file.

    also color profile at 1-1-1 should it not be 4.2.0 ( could be wrong still learning) s

    does any one have information on whats going on with my FCP or am l doing something wrong

    thank for the advice in advance

    Paul

    Other ProRes formats were not implemented in this version. Please use feedback to request this feature enhancement.

    HDV is 420. Don’t worry about the display.

    All the best,

    It’s not available. Use feedback in the FCP menu for the feature request. Forget emailing Apple.

    All the best,

    Thanks Mate

    if you don’t mind l wanted to ask is it worth capturing the HDV footage into DVCPRO HD Does this make any better quality and color to the file, just a though on my side or is ProRes the best for HDV

    and once l finish the edit is it best to just export as a ProRes quicktime self contained and make what ever l need from there with Compressor, IE if l want a DVCPRO HD file or something else

    cheers Paul

    appreciate your time and help kind of you

    I have begun capturing HDV footage (from miniDV tape) using ProRes422. I was surprised to learn that I could not monitor sound (from computer output) during capture (instead, had to monitor sound via camera output, which is a few frames behind the captured footage). Also, capture only allows me to enter a single file name during one capture session (in other words, until I press ESC to end it and start another one), and no means of adding info to each clip captured.

    Can you tell me how I can enter such information as reel number to multiple clips captured, so that I don’t have to click on each clip individually to enter? Also, with each individual entry, which is how I am currently doing it, there appears a warning–can I get rid of that?
