You are probably shooting in standard Movie Mode (60i – Frame Mode turned OFF) and noticing interlace artifacts in your digital video stills captured to tape. This is more or less to be expected. Turning ON Frame Mode may help to improve the situation by reducing interlace artifacts. You will get even better results by capturing your stills to the memory card.

January 13, 2007 at 3:23 am in reply to: charging the canon hv10 battery

Hi,

Please answer the following questions:

1.) Install the battery pack into the battery compartment of the HV10. (Make sure that you remove the battery terminal protective cover before attaching the battery) Plug in the AC Adaptor cable into the HV10 DC IN terminal. Plug the AC adaptor into a working AC outlet… Does the “CHG” (Charge) indicator begin flashing?

2.) Remove the battery pack from the HV10. Plug in the AC adaptor cable into the HV10 DC IN terminal. Plug the AC adaptor into a working AC outlet… Are you able to Power ON the HV10?

Please respond to the above questions so that we can detrmine where the problem is.

Thank you,

Correct.

Since HDV is 8-bit, perhaps you could first try ingesting as HDV 1080p24 and then re-compress the clips in your sequence with the FCP Media Manager to 8-bit Uncompressed and play them back as 8-bit Uncompressed 23.98 with the BMD card.

I haven’t tried the above yet with a Black Magic Card but it may work.

January 1, 2007 at 5:25 pm in reply to: using FCP..5.2 to capture 24f

>>>>>>>>so we have the latest version of FCP studio…and it’s updates. I still don’t see a 1080 24f sequence. How do you bring in HDV footage shot at 24 f ?

– – Assuming that you are using Final Cut Pro version 5.1.2… Open FCP, go to the “Final Cut Pro” Menu and select “Easy Setup”, select “HDV – 1080p24” and FCP will set up everything for you. Next, go to the “Audio/Video Settings” and review the settings for the following:
Sequence Preset: HDV – 1080p24
Capture Preset: HDV
Device Control Preset: HDV FireWire Basic NDF
Video Playback: (select depending upon what you have for a playback monitor system)
Audio Playback: (select depending upon what you have for an audio monitoring system)

Next, go to the “File” menu, select “New” and then select “Sequence”… FCP will create a new sequnce based upon what the Audio/ Video Settings were most recently set to… The new sequence will be highlighted in the browser window – give the new sequence a name, double-click on it to open it and you are good to go.

I am assuming that you are using an XL H1 with your Velocity HD system… The XL H1 does not embed Time Code in the HD-SDI output. Question for you: Can Velocity HD handle time code embedded in an incoming HD-SDI signal or RS-422 deck control? If so, you may want to consider adding a Convergent Design HD-Connect SI box to your Velocity setup. This box will convert the HDV FireWire signal from any HDV camcorder into an HD-SDI signal with embedded audio and time code. Deck control is provided via RS-422.

Probably just use 1/60 sec unless you feel there is enough light in the gym to allow for 1/100 sec.

Hi Jason,

What version of FCP are you using and what exactly are you trying to set up in FCP? Please let us know.

When attempting to toggle the HDV Downconvert Over FireWire menu function, you must first unplug the firewire cable.

Please get back to us and let us know,

Make sure you also clean the heads in your camcorder whenever you switch brands of tape. Oxides between brands of tape vary and do not mix well.

There is no such AGC limit control on the XL H1.
