Forgot to add.

Normally, I would think that the file is just 1080P with a frame rate of 59.94, but it looks interlaced. When I put it into Final Cut, I choose “change the sequence settings to match clip” and the settings change to 1080i, Field Dominance = None, and an editing time base of 29.97. And half of the spot’s video is missing. Also, In Compressor, the file shows up at progressive.

Thanks I could do that. A client wants XDCam files. We would be capturing from HDCam or D5. I figured it would work in Final Cut Capture like any other capture codec. I’ll test when the time comes.

[Mike Alexander]

Thanks for the response. I installed the HDV setups, but no XDCam setups came with them. Maybe in AJA’s next update.

[Mike Alexander]

I’m not sure how that would help me. Are HDV and XDCam the same codec? If I make an Easy Setup with XDCam, under the Capture Presets, what Digitizer would I use 10bit or 8bit?

[Mike Alexander]

Thanks for the help. It worked. It there anyway to do the same thing for XDCam Easy Setups? I did not see those options when I re-installed the drivers. I can make one myself, but I am not sure what the specs are for Capture presets.

Thanks. That’s what I had in mind and it came out fine. It looks good on tape as well (Digi and BetaSP.) Mostly, I wanted to know if anyone has had problems doing this so I know what to look out for – Flickering, Pixelation, etc.

Thanks for responding. I guess the checkbox for “Different Output” in the AV Device setting was checked. I unchecked it and now there are no problems. I’m not sure how that happened, but hopefully it will help someone else.

[Mike Alexander]

Thanks folks. I’ll take your advice. I had that idea, but no one around to bounce it off.
