Importing clips from the C100
I just got the C100 and a Ninja Blade, I'm waiting for the recommended Hard drive to arrive in the mail so I can begin to use the Ninja. In the meantime I'm wondering about the correct way to import clips into FCPX.
I've recently heard of the problem of FCPX has with AVCHD codec. I imported the clips via the USB cable using Data import utility then transcoded them using 5DtoRGB. Is this a good way to do it? |

Re: Importing clips from the C100
Thanks Troy, I thought there was an issue of having to manually adjust the clip settings to progressive because FCPX see's the C100 as interlaced? I'm wondering if 5DtoRGB does this automatically?

Re: Importing clips from the C100
I've never had the problem you are describing. Have been using C100 for almost 2 years now.

Re: Importing clips from the C100
It was Dave Partington who said this just recently in this thread.
http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/panasoni...tting-gh4.html The clips look good to me after running them through 5DtoRGB...... but the thought occurred maybe they will look better doing what Dave said...... I don't know...... Dave are you out there? |

Re: Importing clips from the C100
I just read his comment on the other thread and have no idea what he is talking about. Maybe he will explain if he sees this thread.

Re: Importing clips from the C100
Kathy, I guess you're using 24p pretty much exclusively?
A while back, I settled with the sort of ham fisted but reliable FCPX 'select all clips and switch to Progressive' for all my 25psf stuff: Canon C100 PsF – the fix | Travelling Matt 24p seems just fine, 24psf isn't. If I have the time/budget/inclination, I go the 5DtoRGB route - but most of the time, everything just gets sucked straight into FCPX and once it's all in but before I start putting things into a project/timeline, I switch to Progressive.

Re: Importing clips from the C100
Matt, thanks for the info. It takes some of the mystery out of what Dave was saying.
Yea, I tried to google what on earth you would use psf for and couldn't find an answer, I'm sure there is a reason otherwise Canon wouldn't have put it in there. However, for me no reason to shoot in anything other than 24p....... so it's a non-issue I guess. |

Re: Importing clips from the C100
I always import from the card and not via USB.
If you import from the AVCHD structure then FCPX (and most other NLEs) see the footage as interlaced not progressive, so you ned to click on the clip in the event browser then in the inspector (cmd+4 to open) in the info tab change it to progressive. Several apps, including ClipWrap and maybe 5DtoRGB do this change for you when re-wrapping, but it's a stage I usually don't bother with because it's not required since I can do everything inside FCPX. If the workflow you are using works for you and when you check the info panel in FCPX it says progressive then you are good to go. If however you ever seen any interlace type artefacts in the FCP viewer then check the progressive settings in the info panel.

Here is something a shot yesterday in my back yard. How does this footage look to the trained eye? I didn't see any jaggies and I've noticed some very bad jaggies on some other C100 footage that is considered very good on Vimeo. I used data Import, then ran the clips through 5DtoRGB. |
