HV20 and PP2 and AE7 Users
Just running out the door to work and I need some help here with HDV workflow for the HV20. Any Premiere Pro 2 and After Effects 7 users here? Anyone done any direct recording to their PC? Any PC users share their workflow with this camera. I wasted 6 hours yesterday fighting with the footage I shot and can't afford to wasted anymore time. I will be ordering Cineform soon but it's not an option with this project.
My set up: Core 2 Duo 6600/2 gig Ram 1. I had the camera set to 24F and cine color mode. 2. I didn't record to tape. I captured direct to PP2 timeline with HDV 1080i settings. 3. The mpeg footage I got works fine in PP2 but when I try to bring it into AE7 I get an error that says: After Effects Error: an unspecified AVI or DirectShow error occurred. (1) (53 :: 33) 4. So I tried converting the footage using PP2 from mpeg to a better codec. I want to keep the footage as pristine as possible but when I export as an 'uncompressed' or 'animation file' I PP2 gives me an 'Unknown Error" popup right when it's finished encoding. Any suggestions? Thanks guys. |

Hmm, not sure. If your time is valuable to you, consider going the Blackmagic Intensity route for direct-to-PC capture. That might also give you pulldown removal (yaay) if used with something like Cineform? Maybe even DVRack / the new Adobe CS3 suite? I'm not sure if the Intensity is working with the HV20 yet but it should be soon.
I have had problems too with HDV / other MPEG2 files and After Effects. Once I updated Windows or Media Player or something and then found that suddenly none of the MPEG2 files I was using in a project would load! So yes, the workflow there is not too hot. Bruce Allen www.boacinema.com |
