Canon XH-G1
Up to CrewsHD Downconverting question!
I recently purchased a new XH-G1 (received it yesterday). I took it out
today, shot a little footage, and brought it back in to dump it on my
PC. Here is my scenario:
I shot a few minutes of footage in [SD16:9] and 24f. All other settings
were default. Then I put the camera in HDV, 24f and shot the same
footage (no other changes). I wanted to see the difference between the
two when I captured the footage to my PC in SD and then down converted
the HDV.
When playing back the tape the camera simply plays in SD until it gets
to the point where I started recording HDV and it automatically jumps
into HDV and keeps playing.
When capturing, I captured all the SD just fine. However for the HDV
footage, when I go to the signal setup in the camera menu and try to
output the [PLAYBACK STD] to HDV and turn on the [HD DOWN-CONV],
neither are highlighted and I can't access them.
I've been through the manual, as well as the camera's menu turning on
and off all kinds of other stuff to see if it would affect these two
settings, to no avail.
The only thing I can find in the manual is where it says: "If the
current video signal is different from the signal standard in which the
tape was recorded, the recording will not be played back correctly".
I'm guessing that's not the problem because the tape plays back
beautifully, I just cant access the down conversion feature. Has
anybody here mixed the two standards and seen this problem, or is there
something I am overlooking maybe?
Thanks in advance,
Can't capture to FCP using my XH-G1
Hello,
This is my first attempt with the new camera and new version of FCP so
I think I just don't have some setting right. I can play the tape into
the log and capture window, I can set the in and out markers but then
when I go to capture the clip, it plays right through and doesn't stop
or actually capture the clip. It does create a clip in the browser
window but it has the red line through it, indicating that it's just a
marker, and that it wasn't actually captured.
If I try capture now, the tape plays but the window reads, "capture
now-waiting for data from device (press esc to stop)" When I press esc
to stop, it says user aborted capture.
We shot in HDV 30f.
