  JVC GY-HD110u hdv-sd60p Apple Intermediate Codec Red Line

  Posted by Vincent Strader on October 9, 2012 at 9:54 pm

  Camera used:
  JVC GY-HD110u

  Footage handed to me
  hdv-sd60p

  Codec told to use after reading the Apple forums
  HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60

  Result…
  Proper looking aspect ratio on the V1 time line, but I have to render out 1 video track because it’s got the Red Line

  Where have I gone wrong (Besides taking this tape to edit)?

  Thanks for any edumakaytion,
  Vinnie

  HDV is not Apple Intermediate Codec.

  HDV is not standard def so I don’t understand what you had been handed.

  Best be this to capture as HDV from tape and edit in an HDV timeline with the render set to ProRes. Don’t use AIC. It is an awful old codec

  It says HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 in the drop down menu under the easy set up.

  Reading your response (thank you) – Switched from HDV-AIC60i to HDV60p in capture mode.

  I tried several variations.

  Tried with HDV selected in the format drop down window, and (all formats) selected both times:

  HDV 1080i60 Firewire basic (same thing)
  HDV 1080i60 (same thing)
  HDV 720p60 (same thing)

  Every form of HDV listed under the “Easy Set Up” drop down menu that had 60 under it I used, and every time I noticed it shoved the format down to 720×480. And the picture was elongated vertically.

  In capture preview mode and during capture, the aspect ratio looks like it should. But once the clip is in the time line it stretches in both viewers, and I get the red line every time.

  I looked at the guys camera settings and they were set to HDV-SD60P for sure.

  Only thing I can think of is to capture in one of those HDV 60 modes, and just stretch it to fit the window, preparing myself to wait for long render times I guess. Unless somebody else has another suggestion.

  The camera is either downconverting to SD (standard def) or it was shot as standard def. If it was shot as SD then it is DV codec not HDV.

  Check that the camera is correctly set. Not sure of how the menus work with the JVC as I have mostly used Sony or Canon HDV cameras. When you play a tape it should show in the viewfinder if it is HDV or DV.
