Thanks for responding….

So many details…
I am bringing a dsr 45 to record to dv cam out of the Sony 900 Cinealta camera via composite to cut an offline. Unfortunately we are not shooting in a studio set but on location in a ballroom.

I didn’t plan to do HD on the labtop. I want to make sure that I can be stable in front of the client. They don’t need to approve the cut in HD…

I am taking an edl to the online room for 2 hours for only a grand to finish the green screen work–rather than spending a day rendering and tweeking the chroma keys over 2 days time. (estimated in AE)
–don’t know Boris Continuum…

So I will actually concentrate on the 80 pages of Powerpoint that needs to be converted to full screen and overlays in HD….

catch my drift now.
thanks,
Ron

Please don’t give up on me…. Just need to understand it….

thanks…

[editology] “The specs for sending the dv cam tape to cine media digital solutions is that it is 1920 square.”

This is a total mismatch of information. DV Cam is no way 1920×1080 square. DVcam is 720×480. SO, I assume you mean HD Cam.

MY BAD. THAT’S WHAT I MEANT… HDCAM TAPE. Just stressed out trying to understand this by tomorrow.

Jeremy,
Like I said the project is complicated…. It seems that I need to explain the whole project… I plan to offline the project on a macbook pro with firewire 800 drive on the set of the shoot for 3 days, get client sign off and then fly back to the studio to do the online. We are shooting 50 minutes of green screen that I plan to go to an online room to pull the key and composite with an animated background and then re master to tape. I’m going to take that tape (timecoded selects) back to FCP hi rez and intercut with animation files from after effects.
So I’m trying to be efficient and make the online as stable as possible. I will work in dvcpro HD as long as I can master back to HDCAM tape for delivery.

If you see anything that could be more efficient in my process, please let me know.

Thanks for your thoughts,
Ron

I’m sorry I don’t think that I answered your question….

The specs for sending the dv cam tape to cine media digital solutions is that it is 1920 square.

But you said that the signal stretches back out for monitoring…. is that true for laying to tape?

thanks,
Ron

First off, thank you for help with this… I totally appreciate it… Secondly, I just read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betacam.

The project is a little complicated but I am going to offline on dvcam and then online.

Which sequence preset/codec do you think that I should use for the online?

So the codec makes it 1440 but the seq is in 1920?

thanks again,
Ron

[Ron Humer]

That sounds confusing to me. HDCAM specs are 1920×1080 square. There are templates in FCP that state that. Please make this all make sense to me….

Totally appreciate it.
Ron

[Ron Humer]

Unfortunately that codec changes the file size to 1440 when I need to maintain 1920x1080i.

thanks.
Ron

[Ron Humer]

yes they are ok.

[Ron Humer]

Yes there is a yellow signal to the left of the V check box in acquire window….. there are grey boxes to the left of audio…

All that I have hooked up is… HD-sdi out of deck going into the HDsdi of the m100.

thanks for your assistance with this.
