I’m getting ‘ this sequence is not compatible with HDV print to video’… am I doing it wrong?
-
no problem, couldn’t you just rename them in Finder afterwards though? a pain alright, but surely still quicker than exporting one at a time?

[walter biscardi] “If your HDV deck has Component input, run the video directly to the HDV deck and let it re-compress the material to HDV”
sorry Walter, can you explain this bit in detail please for dummies (me!)
-
thanks Walter. there is just so much about HDV falling apart when you do any CC and I use Magic Bullet etc. do you think it would still be a good idea to stay HDV if you are colour correcting your sequences? comments abound like ‘it’s only a playback format, not an editing format’ etc. has made me feel uneasy about editing HDV, but I’ll give it a go next project to see for myself. thanks again.

Hi,
I do this a lot as well and I’ve found a workflow if you’re interested…
create a ‘stills’ sequence
then drag the sequence you want to get the stills from into the viewer from the browser
go through the sequence marking ‘in’ and ‘out’ on each frame you want to make into a still (don’t go forward by one frame or anything, just mark ‘in’ followed immediately by ‘out’), and drag these frames one at a time into your ‘stills’ timeline or easier across to the canvas each time
you’ll end up with a stills sequence of all your frames ready for export
do a QT Conversion export as a ‘still image sequence’ to whatever format and location you please
only downside is they’ll just be named ‘stills1..2..etc.’. but this works very well, and much better and quicker than exporting each individually

has anyone got an answer to this yet? you ingest your HDV to DVCPRO HD, edit your project, then how do you get it back to tape for archiving or whatever? can the guy use the HDV deck?

sure I can see what you’re saying and thanks for the advice. I’m glad I was on the right track initially with the gear I was researching, just wanted some reassurance and guidance so that I could buy the best kit I could afford for the job, but also know that it wouldn’t be overkill.

I see what you’re saying and I agree, but my questions were merely ‘what will this product get me over that product?’ not ‘I’m not paying for this or that and I’m a cheapskate trying to do it on the cheap’.
Everyone has different budgets for the type of work they’re doing – I can tell you that the only projects we’re shooting on HDV and which we want to edit DVCProHD are weddings (I think this workflow will be perfect eventually) so now you can see that I’m actually putting more into this financially than the average videographer. I don’t know of too many guys doing weddings on HDV and trying to do the best for their clients and their business by bringing it in DVCProHD via Kona so please don’t prejudge guys before having a go. I never realised there was such insecurity on this forum. To be honest if someone can do a job better for a client with less money and less tech then good luck to them, they deserve the gig – the quality isn’t in the kit, it’s in the final product, try not to lose sight of that.

jesus Bob, do you have shares in a deck company or something? tonnes of people are using the HV10 as a deck to capture Canon’s 25F because mainly THERE IS NO DECK FOR 25F YET and the HV10 plays back 25F although doesn’t record it, hope that answers that. I do have other decks, DVCAM and miniDV so I do buy the products if I think they are needed, and that was my question, what’s needed? of course you get what you pay for, that’s just a lazy answer, but I know you can pay
