JVC HD 100U workflow question
Good Day Everyone,
I tried to find a post about this but didn’t so pardon me if this has come up before.
I am about to cut a project shot on the JVC HD 100U camera in HDV mode. I am going to be using my home system which is a FCP 5.1 on a new G5.
I have no Aja or Blackmagic cards yet.
Could anyone kindly explain the best workflow for me to use? The project was shot 24 FPS, on DV tapes.
Can I digitize from the camera through firewire at HDV res? Would that be good enough resolusion for broadcast or should I go another way? If I digitize from the camera (or deck if there is one, and if so which is it?) will it come in at 30FPS and require a “Cinema Tools Reverse Telecine”?And all that stuff…
Thanks very much for your time,

You have to get the 5.1.2 update for jvc 24p support.
some people have stated there are still capture issues though
where it may not capture the beginning or ending 10 seconds of your footage or it could break it up into smaller clips regardless of the capture setting telling it not to break them.try and capture a few clips with the HDV 24p preset.
Do all of your editing in this setup.
No need for pulldown or cinematools as it won’t work on HDV footage
unless you change it to a frame based video format. -
Thank you!
I do have he 5.1.2 so I suppose it will work. And I can digitize native through firewire from either the camera or the deck?David

Yes!

I have a very similar issue…
The project was shot on the 110u using JVC HDV tapes…
in trying to import/capture, via firewire on the 100u, FCP 5.1.2 refuses to capture any more than 48 seconds worth of footage. upon capturing those 48 seconds a “streaming error” pops up…i’m not certain as to whether or not the difference in camera models is causing this, but playback is not an issue at all, it’s just capturing that’s being problematic…
from what i know the 110 is the studio version of the 100, although i could be terribly wrong…
i’ve tried previous versions of final cut just in case, as well as avid which doesn’t even READ the footage.
i’m getting a little desperate and any help would be appreciated.
thanks

The 110 is the 2007 version of the 100 as far as i know.
You might be better off capturing all your 24p footage
with the DVHSCAP.app that comes with the apple firewire sdk.do a search in the forums and links will come up.
you won’t be able to batch capture but you will be able to capture the entire tape with no breaks.
apple has some more work to do, to make this workflow right in fcp.
