If you have the disk speed and capacity you can convert
directly to uncompressed … but if your output format
is HDV again, than this step is not necessary. The real
question is what is your output format if it’s not HDV?Keep in mind that with 720p24 you can output that
format on a NTSC-videomonitor using the 3:2 pulldown.
720p25 is no official standard and will only playback
on a progressive computer display, not on standard
videomonitors … and there is no online format (like
HD-D5, HDCAM or DVCPRO HD) that stores 720p25.
Currently it’s a pure HDV-format. -
Hi,
no, you’re not the only one with that kind of problem.
An like I explained also when you work with a complet
other format like DV the BMD-codecs might affect your
renderings.
This issue occurs on quite every BMD-workstation I’ve
worked on. I am not sure yet if it’s a BMD or an Apple
codec-issue …With 99% I meant that in most cases you wouldn’t need
10-Bit because you have no visual quality enhancements.
DigiBeta e.g. is not a 10-Bit format. It stores luma
information in 8-Bit and chroma with more than 8-Bit
but not true 10-Bit. If you want to preserve the higher
chroma information you must capture in 10-Bit but in
my tests you won’t gain much … I know it’s not what
you would like to here but I would suggest to work in
8-Bit with BMD-cards, since it’s the easiest way to get
out of trouble … -
Great help to say that someone is wrong without
analysing the description of the bug. Typical for
technical support – not matter in which country. -
We are working with PAL by the way …
… it would not be the first time that NTSC isn’t concerned … 🙂 -
For the NTSC-guys: This is only a PAL issue.
The Mediamanager uses the normal QuickTime-Conversion
and so the field dominance won’t switch. Only Compressor 2
can do this.If you want to do Offline-Editing, try using the Sony IMX settings.
With 30 MBit you’re close to DV but the field dominance is also
upper field first like with uncompressed PAL. Also Photo-JPEG is
an option, but you won’t have realtime effects than … -
Please take a closer look at your videoscreen before speculating.
I know what it is. It’s exactly like I explained, the last frame is
fine, nothing missing. The offset is fine. I compared the result
with both settings in the system preferences, so I can say clearly
that everything is perfect when the option is turned off.It’s a bug inside that setting.

Hi Mike,
Lumiere does not capture in a different format.
Lumiere converts the HDV-footage in any possible
QuickTime format. So if you’re working with 25p
or 24p HDV you must choose a QuickTime format
that is supported by BMD with the desired frame
rate, e.g. DVCPRO HD 720p24 or 720p30 …Later than you will reconnect the original HDV
footage (.m2v) and set the sequence settings to
uncompressed, export it and transfer it back to
HDV (one generation loos). That’s why I asked 😉 -
It’s normal that AE shows up millions.
Only 16-Bit formats like Microcosm codec will show up with trillions.By the way, take a look at this thread:

Only NTSC is always lower field first in SD.
PAL is upper field first when using SDI or analoge signals.
Formats like DV, DVCPRO and MPEG-2 for Video-DVD are
lower field first in PAL and NTSC.
Sony IMX is upper field first in PAL.
Digital Video Brodcasting (DVB) in MPEG-2 is upper field first in PAL.1080i is upper field first for PAL and NTSC.
When editing in PAL with upper field first and output is a Video-DVD
with lower field first you have to swap fields. In many encoding-programs
this is a option. Apples compressor will do this automatically when the
incoming and outgoing field dominance is set correctly. -

What formats are you working with? In 99% you won’t need 10-Bit.
