I solved my issues. For future reference to those in need, there is a table at the Panasonic site which lists all the menu settings you need.

Thanks for the pointer. I’m just new to this deck and there are about 70 options to choose from in the menu. I can’t figure out what is not set right.

Thanks for all the great info. everyone. I’ll give this a shot. I tend to edit a lot of content that originates on film and I’ve wanted to keep it in the 24 fps realm. I was also told by the transfer house that they will force an A frame on 00 or 05 as you suggested, but only on request.

Thanks again,

Jeff

So then is it a crap shoot type thing if the 00 or 05 frames aren’t A frames? Do you just try capturing with 01, 02, 03,04 and see which one works or are there more possibilities than that. I tried removing the telecine in Cinema Tools and there were so many choices of patterns, etc. and couldn’t find a combo that worked. (why is it that After Effects can determine the pattern and Cinema Tools cannot?)

Thanks,

Jeff

Yes, I should have been more clear. I have an IO and had film transferred to DVCPro HD on a harddrive. I did finally figure out some settings that worked using compressor and it looks pretty good!

thanks

Marc,

Sorry I have the BCF not the BCR. I mis-typed that when I first posted. So I have the one with faders not all knobs.

But I did follow the instructions I was given on the forum and it did work. I can get the faders to control the first eight tracks and the buttons on the bottom right do work as transport control which work just like the jkl keys. The mute buttons also work and the knobs control the pan.

It works pretty well although I wish all the buttons were working. I’m also disappointed in the response times in motion. I expected when I assigned the fader to the spin function that it would respond better. It works, but as you are doing it you get maybe a 1 frame every two seconds playback. I was hoping to do some really organic finer movements. Oh well. Maybe Behringer will release some new drivers in the future.

Good luck,

jeff

Thanks for the info. I figured as much. I do a lot of nesting and burying of different media and supposed something like that was happening.

Chris,

Thanks, you have saved me from a weekend of stress. It worked like a charm.

Have you played at all in motion with it? I can get it to work but it’s certainly not live updating as it goes. Just curious.

Thanks again,

jeff

Thanks for all the input on the PAL conversion. I did finally get compressor to work pretty well. It was a matter of the fields. For some reason if I bring in two clips which I captured from the same IO project, one is labelled upper and the other is lower. That’s a little strange. But it does look pretty good when all that gets sorted out.

thanks,

jeff
