Ingesting DVCPRO HD as Pro Res 422 In FCP
by paul colin on Nov 5, 2009 at 4:24:39 pm

To all,
I would like to ingest DVCPRO HD footage from P2 cards from a panasonic card reader(over USB 2)into FINAL CUT PRO directly as PRO RES 422. Is there plug in for this? Can this be done?
I'm using FCP 6.06.
Thanks for your help,
Best,
Paul Colin,

You will have to ingest as DVCPro HD and then use Compressor to transcode to ProRes.

Thanks Jeremy,
As I feared it can't be done directly.
However I do have a Kona 3 card. Is there any way to convert
the output of the P2 reader to HD SDI? Probably not, but I thought I'd ask anyways.
Thanks again!

You would need a P2 camera or the HPG-20 with SDI out to play your footage from.

No way to do it from a P2 reader.

Thanks Steve.
I suppose I could use my HPX 500 to ingest from.
Best,
Paul

You could capture it is as video, yes, but that pretty much negates the tapeless workflow.

What are you trying to do?

Jeremy,
I'm doing a very short show with footage from various sources, in addition to the HPX500. So my thought was to cut the whole thing in Pro Res 422, which I find preferable than converting everything to DVCPro HD. But perhaps my thinking is flawed.
Thanks,
Paul

Just bring in the DVCPROHD as DVCPROHD. Cut the additional footage in the same timeline. When you're done export everything as ProRes. Unless you capture say to an AJA IO HD to ProRes live as you're shooting from the component output of your camera, you gain zero from converting already shot footage from DVCPROHD to ProRes.

No, but it won't gain you much to transcode it all. Just work in a ProRes timeline to add all the rest of your footage, and just plop in the DVCPro HD files in that timeline and edit. Not a big deal.

Thanks Jeremy,
That's what I have done. BUT I was a having problems with the dropped frames warning every few seconds. That shouldn't be as my media drive is a hefty 4 TB Cal Digit HD pro that I keep well maintained w/Disk Warrior.
So my thinking was that the Pro Res timeline wasn't liking the DVC Pro footage, ergo the stalls.
Perhaps that was coincidental with some other issue. There were no effects/color correx or anything else added on the footage.
Thanks for your help.

If your disk is running fast, then you shouldn't be getting those warnings. Using the AJA system test, how fast is your drive running?

ProRes HQ can choke a slower drive but regular ProRes should be ok...

Isn't it possible to use the pulldown menu in the upper right of the Log and Transfer window and specify ProRes(s) in preferences?

Not with DVCPROHD as far as I know.
