Gidday all, Tomorrow for the first time I will have the gear to monitor in HDV. Starting with FS7 footage shot SLOG3-CINE, could someone do me a solid with a basic workflow to setup the project suitably (eg project colourspace, LUTs etc) for this to do me some good? I am sorely perplexed. You ROCK! Tony

Hi, I'm new to Avid Media Composer and currently trialing this product but have come across this issue of trying to capture HDV footage from either my Sony HDR-FX1E or my Sony HVR-M25P (both units are PAL versions). Like others, I get the video button greyed out and can't capture HDV however...

Hello everyone. A client just brought over a series of .m2t files (HDV 720p from a JVC GY-HD100 camcorder). He captured by tape, using Tmpeg Enc Mastering Works and as far as I know this is a common format for HDV. When I try to AMA link to the media in both MC v.7 and 8.4.2 it gives me an error of a...

I've just had the same problem. Someone using FCP exported this file. MediaInfo says it's a HDV 1080i file. QT wouldn't play it - black screen but audio played. VLC did play it but it was a bit of a struggle. Sorenson Squeeze 9 also produced a white screen and would crash every time I tried...

Hello! Has it improved?

Hi All, I'm editing a project with some 3 year old footage, and encountering serious problems in Avid. I have 80 hours of HDV footage and 53 hours of DSLR HD footage which will have to be combined. I know other platforms support HDV better than Avid, but I am stuck with Avid for a number of reasons...

I am using fast import to bring in clips from a Z5 camera into MC8. Most of the clips are fine, but on occasion there will be a clip that is 1 second long, and yet on the camera the clip will playback the clip from the flashcard at longer than this, such as 30 seconds or up to 2 minutes. I have been...

Ok, that is a relief! What application would you recommend for viewing/logging the asset (outside Avid)? We're recently playing with AdobeBridge and it works fine with .MTS clips in a regular folder but not on a package volume. Thanks!

Hi, folks! Just switched from FCP (3-7) to MC7, and am trying to capture HDV shot in 24p (not 24a) on a Sony Z7U. The camera is also my deck. While I've searched all over the net for this information, have watched numerous videos, and already tried many many ways to move forward, Avid simply refuses...

Hi guys and gals, I have done quite a lot of research on this and, although a path has been signaled, I would like the opinion of you experts on the expected finish line. The background: We started a documentary project loooong ago, shooting with a Sony HVR-Z7U, set on 24 pscan - that is, 24 progressive...
