Re: [videoblogging] Video Journalism Revolution
Youtube has been around for two years now. Is anyone making any cash (including google)? Is youtube promoting anything other than vloggers? Maybe if video sites started paying creative content producers the 'revolution' will occur. But so far advertisers haven't really jumped on board with 'unsafe' user generated content So the only people who are making money from online video are those with clever solutions like 'the secret'. Buy a heap of people's emails interested in self help, build up suspense and a deadline, then offer a dvd and a cheaper option (download) and make a million just from download sales. I think clever creators are using the likes of youtube to only promote segments of their work, saving the goodies for their own sites (eg dvd or download sales) or finding advertisers willing to pay for content before it is made, so it can be offered for free on video sites.

[videoblogging] HV20+Compressor+m4v = frame stuttering
hi all not sure what i'm doing wrong all of a sudden. i'm asking if any of you have suggested export - compressor settings for this setup. I'm shooting on a Canon HV20, in the '24P' mode ( which isn't really 24P ) editing in FInal cut 5.4 on a 1080 60i timeline exporting to Compressor using iPod setting and Apple TV setting and I keep getting this weird stutter - frame sync problem. you can watch a clip here: http://tinyurl.com/6oxo4g http://realworldgreen.com/RWG_sprinkler_timer.mp4 does anyone else shoot on an HV20 in the 24P/film mode and export to iTunes via FCP Compressor? thx, eric.
Re: [videoblogging] HV20+Compressor+m4v = frame stuttering
So here's the deal... The Canon HV20 really does shoot in 24P - it just does it in a weird way. The stuttering you are seeing is partly because that's what 24P looks like compared to 60i and partly because you have to do a reverse telecine to put the progressive frames back in order. Here's my shorthand notes on how to do it: Ok, it seems that FCP (at least v 5.1.4) doesn't support the 24p mode of this camera. There is a way to make it work but it's a pain in the ass and you probably don't want to do it unless you're a little crazy like me. Here's how it goes: I had to make my own easy setup in FCP that looks like this: Sequence Preset - take the HDV 1080p24 preset, duplicate it and change the compressor to Apple Intermediate Codec. Helps to give it a snappy name like AIC 1080p24 Capture Preset - HDV - Apple Intermediate Codec Device Control Preset - HDV Firewire Basic The crappy part (at least I think so - maybe not a problem for you) is that you can't log capture - it just lets you name your clip and it starts recording. So it's kind of like iMovie here. Then once you've captured your clips (if you stopped and started recording on the tape you must make a new clip), you have to open them in QT Pro and figure out the pulldown cadence, ie, interlaced frame, interlaced frame, progressive frame, progressive frame, progressive frame. There are these possibilities: p-p-i-i-p p-i-i-p-p i-p-p-p-i p-p-p-i-i i-i-p-p-p If you find that the clip is that last one, i-i-p-p-p, then you have to remove those beginning interlaced frames by using the arrow keys to move through those first frames till you hit the first progressive frame, then hit 'o' then apple x and then save. Now this clip is p-p-p-i-i. Ok then open up Cinema Tools. and open a clip. The go to the Clip menu and select Reverse Telecine. Here are the settings Capture Mode: F1-F2 File: New (smaller) Conform to: 24.0 Standard upper/lower (checked) Fields: p-p-i-i-p = AA p-i-i-p-p = BB i-p-p-p-i = BC p-p-p-i-i = CD Style 1 on the drop down. Click Ok to start the process. Then back in FCP import your new 24p clips and stick them on your new AIC 1080p24 sequence! Exporting once you're done editing Now for some reason exporting using quicktime conversion to apple tv or ipod get's all messed up. So instead, export as a QuickTime Movie (it can be a reference movie if you want) and then open that up with QuickTime Pro. Then export for Apple TV and iPod and you will be amazed. BTW, the Apple TV export will be at 1280 X 720!

[videoblogging] Re: HV20+Compressor+m4v = frame stuttering
Like Verdi said, you can't use 24p footage directly from the HV20 in Final Cut. Here's an AppleTV version of a 24p video from an HV20: http://blip.tv/file/get/Blipon-BlipOnBlip27Revision3ScamSchoolPopSirenTheDiggReel699.mp4 or http://peaurl.com/2Uqe The problem is that Final Cut Pro doesn't show you both fields... It only shows you one. So video that looks good while you're editing it looks like garbage when you output it. What you have to do is capture the video to FCP using the HDV easy setup. As soon as you capture it, find the video in your capture scratch folder and open it using Compressor and make/save a setting that does reverse telecine and has the frame rate 23.976. Make the codec Apple ProRes. Once that video gets encoded, import THAT video into FCP and work with that. Here are some Apple Docs that explain the process: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2410?viewlocale=en_US Bill Cammack http://billcammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Michael Verdi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So here's the deal...

Here's an AppleTV version of a 24p video from an HV20: http://blip.tv/file/get/Blipon-BlipOnBlip27Revision3ScamSchoolPopSirenTheDiggReel699.mp4 or http://peaurl.com/2Uqe The problem is that Final Cut Pro doesn't show you both fields... It only shows you one. So video that looks good while you're editing it looks like garbage when you output it. What you have to do is capture the video to FCP using the HDV easy setup. As soon as you capture it, find the video in your capture scratch folder and open it using Compressor and make/save a setting that does reverse telecine and has the frame rate 23.976. Make the codec Apple ProRes. Once that video gets encoded, import THAT video into FCP and work with that. Here are some Apple Docs that explain the process: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2410?viewlocale=en_US Bill Cammack http://billcammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com, Michael Verdi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So here's the deal... The Canon HV20 really does shoot in 24P - it just does it in a weird way. The stuttering you are seeing is partly because that's what 24P looks like compared to 60i and partly because you have to do a reverse telecine to put the progressive frames back in order. Here's my shorthand notes on how to do it: Ok, it seems that FCP (at least v 5.1.4) doesn't support the 24p mode of this camera. There is a way to make it work but it's a pain in the ass and you probably don't want to do it unless you're a little crazy like me. Here's how it goes: I had to make my own easy setup in FCP that looks like this: Sequence Preset - take the HDV 1080p24 preset, duplicate it and change the compressor to Apple Intermediate Codec. Helps to give it a snappy name like AIC 1080p24 Capture Preset - HDV - Apple Intermediate Codec Device Control Preset - HDV Firewire Basic The crappy part (at least I think so - maybe not a problem for you) is that you can't log capture - it just lets you name your clip and it starts recording. So it's kind of like iMovie here. Then once you've captured your clips (if you stopped and started recording on the tape you must make a new clip), you have to open them in QT Pro and figure out the pulldown cadence, ie, interlaced frame, interlaced frame, progressive frame, progressive frame, progressive frame. There are these possibilities: p-p-i-i-p p-i-i-p-p i-p-p-p-i p-p-p-i-i i-i-p-p-p If you find that the clip is that last one, i-i-p-p-p, then you have to remove those beginning interlaced frames by using the arrow keys to move through those first frames till you hit the first progressive frame, then hit 'o' then apple x and then save. Now this clip is p-p-p-i-i. Ok then open up Cinema Tools. and open a clip. The go to the Clip menu and select Reverse Telecine. Here are the settings Capture Mode: F1-F2 File: New (smaller) Conform to: 24.0 Standard upper/lower (checked) Fields: p-p-i-i-p = AA p-i-i-p-p = BB i-p-p-p-i = BC p-p-p-i-i = CD Style 1 on the drop down. Click Ok to start the process. Then back in FCP import your new 24p clips and stick them on your new AIC 1080p24 sequence! Exporting once you're done editing Now for some reason exporting using quicktime conversion to apple tv or ipod get's all messed up. So instead, export as a QuickTime Movie (it can be a reference movie if you want) and then open that up with QuickTime Pro. Then export for Apple TV and iPod and you will be amazed. BTW, the Apple TV export will be at 1280 X 720!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: HV20+Compressor+m4v = frame stuttering
Actually if you have the canvas at 100% it does show you both fields. If you have FCP Studio 2 you don't have to use Cinematools to do the reverse pulldown - compressor's reverse telecine can do it more or less automagically (there's a how to on Apple's FCP site specific to the HV20. If you're on an earlier version, or even if you are on FCP6 and just prefer it, try the free JESdeinterlacer, which will reverse telecine to the codec of your choice while detecting scene breaks for you (for web work Apple Intermediate Codec isn't a bad choice - and you don't have prores as an option anyway if you're on FCP5.x) But... you CAN edit it without reverse telecine at 29.97. It's just like editing telecine'd film. I don't work with the HV20's footage this way but lots of folks do. The problem is that when you output to a non-interlaced format (or for a non-interlaced display) you'll either get combing (if the footage isn't deinterlaced first) or a repeated frame every 4 frames (if it is). One trick is to use either the flicker filter at maximum in FCP to blend the fields, or blend fields in Compressor (I can't recall if you do this through frame controls now or through the quicktime filters). This will sometimes give you double images on the pulldown frames but at 29.97 it's usually not objectionable, and the motion will be a little more natural. Frankly, I don't see much of a motion problem in your clip. Looking at it frame by frame it looks like you deinterlaced as you do have a repeating frame for each cadence cycle. Many DVD reissues of old TV stuff shot on film have this 2:2:2:4 cadence which is why those shots of Magnum PI running across the beach at Waimanalo look kinda funky if you are motion sensitive.

I do agree with you. He doesn't show what he considers the ultimate Video Journalism. I suspect that this speech was recorded in 2004.
