alright I have this setup:
mac osx
2.5 GHz intel core i7
4gbs ram

I’m thinking it will do just fine.
Originally I was thinking about capturing in fcp7 (turns footage into prores 422) and then exporting those files into CS5 and editing the project there. However, CS5 cannot export files with prores codecs right? what would it be?

I think I will just capture in CS5 (creating mpeg2 clips) and then continue to edit in that native format. what then will be the export setting/the equivalent to fcp’s export quicktime movie function?

HDV 1080i fcp7 vs. cs5

I was wondering about all this a well. I have the Sony HDR-FX7 and am looking to just import directly from the camera with firewire 400.

I want to edit in CS5
I am wondering if I should import directly into cs5 and edit the sequence in the native format. Or should I convert the video codec first in media encoder, or should I convert in FCP7’s Compressor to Apple Prores 4444 first, and then create a sequence to match that in CS5 ?

Basically I just want to end this project with the highest quality video codec/container available for HDV 1080i60 – so whether that is just sticking with that native codec all the way through or converting to prores or some other codec from cs5 first, than let me know

I did the conform in Compressor and it worked PERFECTLY- no audio delay/syncing issues, no pitch changes, video of the duration stayed the same, and there is no need to de-interlace.

Victory.

oh by the way…. it took 20 hours! But at least it worked- take that PAL!

I am currently doing the conform process in compressor

QUICKTIME: APP PRO RES 422

Here are my settings for frame control:

Resize Filter- Best (statistical prediction)
Output Fields- Same as Source
Deinterlace- Best (motion compensated)

adaptive details box- checked
anti-alias & details levels dials- both at 0

Rate Conversion – Best (high quality motion comp)
Set duration to: 100% of source

Geometry
Frame size: 100% of Source

ARE THESE SETTINGS CORRECT TO KEEP THE AUDIO IN SYNC AND TO NOT CHANGE THE PITCH? WILL THE VIDEO DURATION BE THE SAME?

it says it’s going to take 20hrs….wow

what is a double system?

Currently I have a 25fps app pro res 422 file of the completed short film.

the ultimate goal is to conform this HD file to 24fps, than down convert this new HD 24fps file using the mpeg2 dvd 90min best settings

Is there another work load you would prefer to avoid audio syncing and pitch issues?

I need help.

I am having the same problem with the out of sync audio
For me I am going from 25 to 24fps in cinema tools.
Alright, I put the h264 video codec file into compressor and converted it using app pro res 422
It looked great and everythings good.
Than I open cinema tools opened the clip the conform button was available to push. I conformed it to 24fps from 25

The orginal duration of the video was 17:15 and now the duration is longer at 17:58
If I am taking away frames why would it be longer?

I put it into fcp and the dialog is out of sync with the last few seconds of the video having mute audio because track already went through. It is also out of sync when playing it in QT

How do I fix this syncing issue?
