Choppy Playback From GH4 footage
-
Great. I really appreciate all the help. I’ll update after I run things through Cinema Tools and back into the project. I had already organized and named the clips in FCP. I guess I’ll have to redo that…well worth it though.
-
One (hopefully only one) other question: once they are batch conformed in Cinema Tools, do I drag and drop into FCP or Log and Transfer? I bet thats in that tutorial link I’m about to watch… 😉
-
Drag and drop. Once the footage is ProRes, Log and Transfer isn’t needed. That’s only for converting the footage from camera masters. You already did that.

Great. Going to watch the tutorial anyway. Thanks again.

Still really choppy.
I guess its just the hard drive?
-
So the slow motion isn’t smooth? Does it play back choppy in Quicktime too?
Might be the hard drive. What connection do they sport? and how fast are they? 5400 or 7200?

Choppy in QT but not as bad. It would actually stop in the FCP timeline. Didn’t really stop in QT, just choppy.

Shane, thanks for your contributions and tutorial. I too stupidly shot an event at 1080p60 on a Sony RX10 that I wasn’t very familiar with. It produced .mts files. The producer needs to edit in her FCP7 with either 24 fps or 30 fps. I will try the workflow you describe with MPEG Streamclip and Cinema Tools. Does that make sense?

Oh and a lot of this is 90fps… which I assume is an even harder workload to handle.

Ah…AVCHD 1080p60. FCP won’t L&T it, and MPEG STREAMCLIP won’t work with mts files. For this you need Clipwrap2 from DivergentMedia.com. That will convert to ProRes…designed to work with AVCHD.
Now, unless you want the footage to be slow motion, I’d skip Cinema tools, and edit the footage normally in FCP. Either use a 1080p30 sequence, or 1080p60 sequence.
