September 27, 2008 at 9:16 am in reply to: Frame Size Blow Up In Final Cut?

I have a similar situation, but three different cameras with three different frame sizes. I want to get them to the same size so that I can edit them using the multiclip function. These are the frame sizes that I am working with:
1920×1080 (XD CAM)
1440×1080 (HDV)
720×480 (MiniDV 16:9 matted)

I don’t mind losing the edges on the XDCAM footage. The MiniDV footage is not crucial since it was basically shot as a backup and doesn’t match in quality to the rest. However, I’d like to incorporate it as well in the process to cover a couple of spots. Do I bring in each clip separately in Compressor for this? Which size should I aim for? The 1440×1080 would be good enough for me. I already created auxiliary matching timecode for all clips. Thanks for any advice on this!!

Ouch! Thanks. I guess I have to find a deck to borrow somehow. As for the computer, the dual Intel core 2.8 with 3GB of RAM should suffice, right?

Would I be able to capture it if I took my SONY deck, JVC footage and used it on a different mac?

I was hoping to avoid that. So the issue is with the iMac hardware not being able to process the signal through firewire?

I am connected via firewire. Not sure what is in the computer. I’m on the 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac.

Yes, I set the switch to HDV. I am able to capture footage shot on my Sony V1U in 1080i without any problems. When I put the tape with the JVC footage in the deck, it will play out to the monitor connected directly to the deck, but in my FCP Log and Capture window I only have a black screen. I do see the timecode and I can still control the deck from the L&C window within FCP.

I have a similar issue that I am dealing with. I am trying to capture JVC footage with a Sony deck into FCP. I see the timecode, but the screen stays black.
