Optimum settings for the video shooting HD?

I just bought a Panasonic AG-AC160a camcorder with the update of the firmware to the 1080 p/59.97 format with MPEG-4 AVC/h.264 compression. Since it is an upgrade of my DV tape camcorder, I am confused and do not know what is the best video format to save in. I'm shooting youth hockey games and want to produce the best HD picture I can and with as few steps as possible in PP CS5. I shoot about 45 minutes of content and I want to keep everything on a support. Thanks for the tips on the best parameters of format.

Thank you. When I shoot my son games of hockey I interrupt the camcorder whenever the action stops. When I got home, I noticed that a new clip is formed at each break of the shoot (I am used to capture my footage of the entire tape - even with several starts and stops - in a clip directly from my old camcorder). Is there an easier way to get these several clips in my Panel of editing without having to physically drag each from the project Panel?

Also, what is the best way to copy/transfer files directly from the SDXC card to my computer for the files reside on the computer before their import and editing in PP?

Welcome to the wonderful world of HD. I used the 160 before and it's a nice camera. I've been shooting with a HMC150 since 3 years now and I think that squeeze us every bit of juice out of it. A good forum for users of Panasonic's DVXUser.com go there and find the 160 has category and they'll be really helpful with questions from the camera.

When it comes to HD footage on these cards, finally you will really like each time you stop the camera makes a new clip. That way if you've shot a lot of clips, you can choose which ones to import or transcode (to a different format if you wish) and saves disk space if you are transcoding your clips to another format (which can sometimes be easier on your system that modifying these files native AVCHD... which depends on your computer and how powerful he is). First, you'll want to copy the content of the WHOLE of the SDHC/SDXC card on your drive scratch (scratch disk simply means a separate hard drive where all of your images are stored. Do not change out of the card reader... copy EVERYTHING on your disk and use it. Again, you must copy the folder FULL of the small video files map structure. Then, you can use first media browser to import the clips you want. Just SHIFT-SELECT all the clips you want and right-click and import clips. If you want to drag multiple clips to your calendar, go ahead and shift + select all the clips you want and drag and drop on the timeline and they drop everything on in order. Photographing Hockey so I think we should turn on your shutter of your camera.  These cameras have sometimes "shutter stop" by default... If I remember correctly. It is easy to adjust. There is a shutter button at the top of the Panel where the farm of LCD and you'll want to have a shutter speed of at least double your pace. Normally double is acceptable. So if you're shooting at 60 fps, then press the shutter button and adjust to 1/120. When he says "Shutter" at 60 fps, which means that it is 1/60. It sounds good in my opinion, but for sports fast, you want not only blurred so I would make the shutter. If you shoot at 30 fps, and then set the shutter at least 1/60. Go too fast a shutter speed may begin to create a hyper-reel look similar to the opening Beach scene in Saving Private Ryan, that may not be what you want, that's why I say go double your pace to start.

In addition, if you are on tripod, you can deactivate the OIS (these images) If you have problems with this movement at all. We keep the OIS on most of the time, but every once in a while on a tripod, that must be off because when you do a lot of Pan (which will be the case, I guess in Hockey), then you might see these weird little shifts in the image with these cameras as catches up with the OIS. If your final product goes on the web then I suggest 720 p 60 or 1080 p 60 because computer screens are progressive. If you go right on a DVD, then you probably won't notice a huge difference with 1080 vs 720 on these cameras. It is in any case my experience. If you go to the Bluray, then maybe try 1080. The forum I mentioned above will help you with those camera of choice.

If you notice your computer bogged down editing these native AVCHD files, first put windows first of ' 1/2 resolution' instead of 'full '. Or you can transcode in a different format (for example. If you are on a mac, transcode to ProRes 422). Again, as I said before, it depends on the strength of your computer. Good luck!

  • Confused on the project settings for the Blu - Ray?

    Worked w\Encore (5.1) a lot of time as the DVD, but this is my first w\BR try so I want to make sure I get this right (thanks in advance for the help!).

    The project has a static image (1920 x 1080) and then several animate button video HD which will take you to a video loop "intro" at 1920 x 1080. On this video track, I have a pop-up menu (1920 x 1080 I guess?) which will allow you to select other videos.

    My questions;

    Static & pop - up menu is correct?

    The intro videos are 1920 x 1080 so no problem there, but the rest of the videos of the project (link to context menus) is all in SD (720 x 480 29.97) until the 'final project defining' should be?

    Thus, away from it all seems logical for me until I have to project default settings, they list it as the Blu - Ray (H.264), 1920 x 1080 & 29.97 FPS?

    I did a quick test of the only menu & intro videos and it converted the static menu in 1920 x 1080 29.97 but it takes 23.976?

    I imported a few SD videos say "do not transcode" according to BR.

    Still using the project settings for the menus and slideshows. So if you want a 23.976, then when you create a project, you can choose the frequency of images such as 23.976 in the drop-down menu in the default conversion settings.

    As far as video is concerned, if still says not to transcode, then he will write them to disk as it is and yet also creates a calendar based on the properties of the assets. If the dimensions of the asset are legal, then the dimensions of the chronology would be identical to that of the assets.

    -Riou.

    If this does not work in safe mode and then disable all your extensions and then try to find out who is causing by allowing both the problem reappears.

  • Best settings for the analysis of revenues

    I just bought a HP Officejet 6600 A-I-O. I was looking for a device scan my boxes of documents, so I can unclutter my home office. I would also like to analyze the revenue. I considered the famous 'neat Scanner", but I hesitated to the price tag of $400.

    My question: what are the best settings for the HP scanning application when I'm scanning received? What is the difference between PDF and PDF searchable? IsTIFF a better choice than PDF? Use "Generalist" or something else? Recipes do not need large files high resolution, of course.

    Can someone point me to a guide that explains the different parameters available with the HP Scan application, please. Thank you!

    Hi Caesar3,

    In a regular PDF document, the text looks more like a picture of the text.  We can see it, but the file does not contain the words.

    In an indexed PDF, text is stored as text, so it can be searched.

    http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-searchable-PDF-file

    When you scan receipts, 200 or 300 dpi should be fine.  If you plan to print the stored version receive 300 dpi would work well.

    I recommend PDF more TIFF.  TIFF files can store pages or multiple images in a single file, but access to additional pages is a bit awkward.  Generally, the file size is much smaller with PDF or TIFF.

    The site http://www.scantips.com/ is a good resource.  This is a Web site not HP, but it does not scan HP.

  • best settings for the mouse Aspire V17 Nitro

    Can someone please help me get my beautiful new laptop Aspire V17 Nitro back in fast running.  I was playing with the mouse and wanted to see what it better then made more big and dark.  not a others that I don't remember fiddling with, but now the mouse is not sensitive to my contact, whom he accuses delay - buffer is even worse.  Apologizes for being a bozo.

    PamL,

    To reset the your mouse pointer to the default settings, if necessary, you will need to go into the control panel to do. Here are the steps to achieve this:

    Desktop mode

    1. Right-click on the Start button, click Control Panel.

    2. On the left, click on hardware and audio.

    3. In devices and printers, click the mouseon the left.

    4. Left-click on the pointers to the bottom tab, you will see by default, left click it.

    To adjust your settings for the touchpad, you're in mosaic mode, which simply means that you can click on the Start button of Windows once to get there.

    1. On your keyboard, type parameters.

    2. Left click on laptop settings.

    3. Left-click on PC and devices.

    4. Left-click on the mouse and touchpad.

    I'll predict what the camera I could get hold of parameters:

    Touchpad: on

    Activate Swiping from the left or right edge: on

    Reversal feeling of scrolling: Off

    To help prevent the cursor to move accidentally while you type, cut the taps or change the time before taps work: way

    If you set the unit back to this and it still has problems, it could be related to a recent Windows Update which took place on your device. You can perform a System Restore and your anti-roll system when it worked correctly and works before here.

  • Automatically get new IP settings for the network adapter

    I have a home network with two computers Vista and I have a Vista laptop for work.  Where my work laptop is home it does not automatically connect to the internet, similarly if I want it.  When I go to network and sharing on laptop computer center it displays icons for the laptop, my home and internet network.  Threre is a X red between the network icon and the internet.  If I click on the red X a pop-up window indicates that Windows checks the problem.  Then a box will appear with several options, one if which is automatically "get new IP settings for the NIC 'Wireless Network Connection'.  When I click on a window pops up that says repair, and after a brief interval, she announced that the problem has been fixed, and it was fixed.

    How can I configure things so that she will do it automatically without this manual intervention.  There must be some way because I have never asked a password or permission to continue.

    If I turn off the laptop and then turn it back on a few moments later, the network connection is still there.  The problem occurs when I try again a few days later.

    Thank you.

    P.S. I tried to submit this a couple of days, but it does not appear under my son, so I don't know what happened.  If the previous post is without me being able to find I apologize.  I don't like having to type things, that's for sure. Jim

    Thanks for the reply.  I did it.

    I'm not sure it would fix the problem however, because the problem occurs after a day power off and power back up a few days later.  So presumably the power to the network adapter has been disable for power off intervals.

    Something happened tonight when I put under tension.  Asked me to confirm something on the network (unfortunately I can't remember what) and after that, I was connected to the internet - without having to go through the manual process described with my problem.  So maybe something has been reconfigured will correct the problem.
