The Cinema Tools route seems to be the simplest and least time-consuming. Took about 10 seconds to "re-rate" a 24fps QT for import into a 25p project. Our audio expert is back on board next week so we'll work out the speed-up problems with him. It shouldn't be too difficult, 24@25 has been around in broadcast for 50 years, so there's

Hi I have a similar task. We'll be receiving 24p and 24psF Quicktimes for BluRay Discs. No problem there, but we'll also need to produce PAL SD DVDs. The DVD authoring programme requires 50i or 25p Quicktime files for import. We've tried exporting a Quicktime movie at 25fps. That doubles the 24th frame every second, keeping the duration

Problem seems to be solved. I installed the wrong PDW-U1 driver. Now with PDW-U1_v2_21 it's importing. Job saved!!! Driver downloaded from http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/micro-xdcam/resource.downloads.bbsccms-assets-micro-xdcam-downloads-XDCAMSoftwareDownload.shtml

[quote user="Larry Rubin"] [quote user="Pieman"]I believe you need to turn off ama volume access in settings to allow xdcam import dialogue[/quote] That is correct.

Hi I've attached a PDW-U1 to my MacPro, updated to v3.5.4 and installed Sony's drivers. The PDW-U1 comes up on the desktop and clips are viewable in the Sony XDCam Transfer software. What I can't do is import the files into MC. Under settings/import there is no XDCam tab. I've checked on an MC v4 trial I'm running on a MacBook and

Hi, are you trying to run MC with dongles or with software activation? Rodney

Mid October I have to import several hours of AVCHD from a Sony HXR-MC1P, then quickly edit the footage, integrate it with preedited material and export 10 x 10 minute clips. Unfortunately there's no alternative to using this particular camera. I downloaded the Panasonic codec (the only one available?) and did many tests with my Avid 3.5.4. It doesn't

I have a confession to make. Since I'm getting more and more HD editing work I decided a few months ago to upgrade my old Meredien edit studio. I looked at the Nitris DX: lovely but too expensive. I looked at the Mojo DX: figured even the Spartans would have sent it back. Meanwhile no HD monitorr impressed me enough to spend the required money.

[quote user="BLKDOG"] Because the system is looking to compare the NIC to your serial number, I'm guessing that the hub is the problem. Try connecting the dongle directly and then activate. After that you may be able to move the dongle back. [/quote] Hi BLKDOG! just tried your suggestion, moved dongle to a front USB port. No change. New
