Re: what are the EAST SET UP Settings for the Canon D5 ? - 15 years ago
Hello -- 1. Would this also apply to the Canon SD960? 2. Would the audio stay in sync with picture after capture/conversion? The Canon SD960 Digital Camera can shoot 1280 x 720p video, 30 fps. From the Canon web site (usa.canon.com), the files are: MOV (Image: H.264; Audio: Linear PCM (Monaural) Thanks -- Jack Lindauer Mac Pro FCP6by Jack Lindauer - Café LA

Re: Canon SD960 Digital Camera - 15 years ago
Found this by searching on LAFCPUG = H264 ========== Re: Camera Posted by: grafixjoe (IP Logged) Date: June 27, 2009 01:53PM I just bought the best camera I ever owned - the Canon HF S10 Dual FLASH (no tapes) HD Camcorder and it rocks HARD. It records in FULL 1920 x 1080 (not that 1440 x 1080 stretched garbage) to either an on-board 32 GB FLASH drive or SDHC FLASH cards (total up to 64by Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Canon SD960 Digital Camera - 15 years ago
I looked at the Panasonic web site (panasonic.com, they make the DVX100 and HVX200) and they have some consumer camcorders that record in AVCHD for around $500 - $600. It just might be what I have been looking for. This post started out with H.264 and went to the better (for FCP) AVCHD. Jack Lindauerby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Canon SD960 Digital Camera - 15 years ago
I'll keep researching for a $500 consumer HD camera that uses "flash cards", and that has files and a CODEC that I can import and edit in FCP. Thanks All -- Jack Lindauerby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Canon SD960 Digital Camera - 15 years ago
I do not need a High Def camera, Standard Def would work just fine. Does anyone know of a consumer standard def camcorder (Brand & Model), that uses "flash cards", that creates files that can be imported and edited in FCP6? Thanks All -- Jack Lindauerby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Canon SD960 Digital Camera - 15 years ago
If I wanted to edit well, without any work-arounds, what codec should I look for in a consumer camera? Would AVCHD be a good codec? Or any other? Which brand name and model number (under $500) of consumer digital camera or camcorder should I be looking for? I am looking for something that has a "card", and not Mini DV tape. Thanks -- Jack Lindauerby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Canon SD960 Digital Camera - 15 years ago
I did not know that the H.264 codec does not work with FCP. It does, however, work with iMovie. Thanks for all the good information. I did a search (before I posted) on LAFCPUG for H.264 and got no results. Later, (after I posted), I did a search for H264 (no period between the H and 2) and got about 90 results. I found-out that H.264 is not an editing codec. Is there an under $500.00by Jack Lindauer - Café LA

Hello All -- The Canon SD960 Digital Camera can shoot 1280 x 720p video. From the Canon web site (usa.canon.com), the files are: MOV (Image: H.264; Audio: Linear PCM (Monaural) Can these files be imported and edited in Final Cut Pro 6?

Re: Full-Screen Playback - 16 years ago
Thanks All -- Thanks to everyone for your help. This was a tough one to figure out. In trying to run through this problem with other editors over the phone, checking settings, re-starting, and going through all the steps, the last thing we would have thought was; that it would be in the model of Apple keyboard one would be using. Just by chance, I spoke to an editor who had the same modby Jack Lindauer - Café LA

Derek -- I have a Mac Pro tower with a 20-inch Apple Cinema Display. If I were to hook-up a second monitor, would I get a "DCDP - Full Screen" in that menu? Thanks -- Jack Lindauerby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Full-Screen Playback - 16 years ago
Mystery solved!!! The secret depends on what style of keyboard you are using; The older traditional keyboard, or the newer Apple thin aluminum keyboard. 1. For the older style keyboard: View > Video Playback > Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Main. Command, F12. This will take the image in the Canvas window and make it Full-Screen. 2. For the newer thin aluminum keyboard: Vieby Jack Lindauer - Café LA

Thanks Joey and Derek -- I'll try that tomorrow and let you know how it went. Again, thanks -- Jack Lindauerby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Full-Screen Playback - 16 years ago
(Follow-up to above post) About six months ago, I saw someone with a 15-inch MacBook Pro blow up the Canvas window to full screen, so people around him could see the image. At the time, I did not ask him how he did that, as I thought this was a common short cut key stroke. (Besides, he was busy editing). I know it can be done; just trying to find the secret key stroke.

Re: Full-Screen Playback - 16 years ago
Hello -- I apologize for phrasing my question in such a bad manner: >>Even though you've gotten your answer Jack, your phrasing of the question was way out of line. Do you talk to your co-workers that way? I sure hope not.

Full-Screen Playback - 16 years ago
Hello -- How do I get the Canvas Window to play back Full-Screen on the Display (like a television screen)? I tried: View > Video Playback > Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Main. Positioned the playhead at the head of the sequence. Pressed Command F12. Nothing happened. Please do not guess. And please do not say to drag the corner of the window.

OT: Apple FCP End Credits - 16 years ago
In the end credits of the Coen Brothers film "No Country for Old Men", there is an Apple FCP credit right next to the Panavision (logo) camera credit. In the Coen Brothers film "Burn Before Reading", there is a Panavision credit but no FCP credit. "Burn" was editing with FCP. I have seen many films with the ending logo credits for Panavision, SAG, IATSE, etc.by Jack Lindauer - Café LA

Re: RAID 0 Internal Drives a good idea? - 16 years ago
Not trying to RAID the three internal drives, just could a MacPro be configured in this way? On a MacPro: Could the OS & FCS2 be on internal drive #1, the captured DVCPRO HD 720p & edited footage on drive #2, and the backed-up edited footage on drive #3? (a sort of "manual" RAID 1 for the edited footage). Jackby Jack Lindauer - Café LA

Re: the "right" advices for making a high quality <8min film - 16 years ago
Excellent advice from Derek. Also read the book, "How to Build a Great Screenplay", by David Howard, who is the founding director of the graduate screenwriting program at the University of Southern California (USC). Paperback, 446 pages). By the way: Where is the article about the post production workflow of the Coen brothers using FCP? Jack Lindauerby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: 720p footage to Hard Drive - 16 years ago
Thanks for the info & calculator for 720p footage to disk. Can camera captured 720p24 DVCProHD be played back for viewing through the FireWire 800 port, or would I need a SATA card inside the MacPro with an external SATA drive? Jack Lindauerby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
720p footage to Hard Drive - 16 years ago
I plan to shoot a low budget feature on 720p, 24 frames, progressive, compressed. (Enough information, or neeed more?) I figure with a 90-minute feature, and about a low 4-to-1 shooting ratio, I will end up with about 6-hours of camera footage. 1. If I transfer 6-hours of 720p footage to a single hard drive, how much space in gigabytes will it take up on the hard drive? 2. Is the databy Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Is iMAC ok to use with FCS-2 - 16 years ago

Re: Viewsonic Display - 16 years ago
1. How do you hook up a broadcast NTSC monitor to a Mac Pro? 2. Would it display 1920x1080 or 1280x720 as letterbox? Jack Lindauerby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Is iMAC ok to use with FCS-2 - 16 years ago
Loren is correct. The iMac cannot edit uncompressed Standard Def (NTSC) or High Def, and cannot support an external RAID set of drives as it only has a Firewire 800 port. When I was looking to buy an Apple computer for FCS2, I researched all three models; MacBook Pro, iMac and the MacPro tower. The iMac is a good computer, and gives you the most bang for the buck, but cannot support threby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Viewsonic Display - 16 years ago
I have to agree with Jeff and Joey, (how's the weather in Florida Joey?) When I look at the display, I need to know if a scene has been shot too dark or too light. Some non-Apple displays alter the brightness if the display is tilted up or down. (Have never looked at a Dell display). I went to the Apple Store and looked at ALL their displays (MacBook, iMac, Cinema) and NONE of them exhibby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Is iMAC ok to use with FCS-2 - 16 years ago
Yes. Get the 3.06 GHz model with the 512 MB graphics card. Also, get 4 GB of RAM (better for FCS2). Put your Operating System (it's already there) and FCS2 on the internal drive (the OS uses about 9 gigs, and FCS2 uses about 114 gigs of space on the drive), and all your captured footage and edited footage on an external Firewire 800 drive). You can find Firewire 800 drives at: www.caldby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
Re: Viewsonic Display - 16 years ago
All very interesting stuff. But, getting back to my original question; Does anyone have any pros or cons about Viewsonic LCD displays? Thanks -- Jack Lindauerby Jack Lindauer - Café LA
