  • Capture Preset and Sequence Preset in FCP for Sony NEX-VG10 footage

    Posted by Virginie-alvine Perrette on June 9, 2011 at 10:10 am

    Hello,
    I’ve just bought the Sony NEX-VG10E (PAL) and am starting to import footage into FCP via Log & Transfer which converts it to ProRes. But I am wondering how to set the Capture Preset and Sequence Preset. I am shooting in PAL in the Mode FH 17M 1920×1080.

    Also, if anyone else has other suggestions or experience about how to best work with this NEX-vg10 footage in final cut, all thoughts are welcome!

    Many thanks,
    Virginie

    Just use the 1080i50 ProRes setup – if you use a video card, there will also be a specific one for that. Otherwise it will be in the sequence settings labelled as something like “ProRes 422[HQ/LT/blank] 1920 x 1080 50i 48 Khz” – obviously use whichever flavour of ProRes you are importing.

    If you’re still unclear, drop some of the transferred footage to a BLANK timeline, and click ‘yes’ on the ‘match timeline to footage’ dialogue box. Then copy down the sequence settings and make a new preset and easy setup for future use.

    If there is L&T, there is no capturing going on.
    No need of any capture preset.
    L&T and conform your sequence to the footage.

    Just wanted to say thanks for your response. The tapeless media video saved me, and introduced me to all the other Creative Cow podcasts – which are great! Merci.
