oh and one more thing…

I have found that going out of a computer VGA into a scan converter and then out to a record deck or camera and recording that way usually gives you the best results…that is if you have a scan converter. Even the cheap officemax ones will work okay.

try a few options and see what looks the best. I’m not familiar with the software you are using, but with programs I have used in the past, I was able to control frame rate and output resolution.

Just make sure those two things match your final output and you should be good.

Chris,

Thanks for the advice. Here is another small issue. I don’t have Final Cut Studio 2 just yet… I’m fighting with the finance guys to get the purchase approved. So with FCP 5, what is my best option? I’ll probably just shoot 60i on this first one. I can’t afford having things go wrong…

Try setting your device control to “non controllable device” in your capture prefs and use capture now. The only down side to this is that you will lose your timecode.

Thanks! I pretty much only use the FCP forum, so I just go here by nature. I’ll check the HDV forum.

Thanks Chris –

One quick question. I’m picking up my cameras tomorrow, but I don’t have FCS2 just yet. It will be a few weeks before that all goes through the approvals and whatnot.

Anyway – What is the best HDV workflow using Final Cut 5? I still want to shoot 1080i so that we can deliver HD in the future with the footage is necessary.

Thanks Chris. I’m really looking forward to getting the new cameras. How do you like the Z1U?

If that doesn’t work…just bring the QT file into MPEG Streamclip and export from there. You have numerous export options, most of which are excepted into FCP.

So Walter…if I understand you correctly –

It is better to capture native HDV (via firewire) and edit on a prores timeline than to downconvert upon capture and edit on an SD timeline?

I am getting ready to jump into the world of HDV. I have 2 V1Us on the way and I’m trying to figure out my future workflow. We will still be delivering SD 90% of the time.
