Final Cut Pro, HDV and PowerBook G4

Take a PowerBook G4 1.67GHz, Canon Vixia HV30, Final Cut Pro 6.x and a few hours to spare. Capturing HDV clips is still possible to do on a 3-plus year old PowerBook G4. Well, an external FireWire 800 hard drive was also included in the work-flow.

MacBook Pro are much more powerful compared to any PowerBook G4, but it doesn’t make them completely obsolete. Consider that MacBook Pro has ExpressCard slot built-in and PowerBook G4 (15-inch and 17-inch models) have PC Card slot built-in. Many professional DVCPRO HD camcorders are using P2 Cards. An adapter is needed to import the content of those P2 Cards to a MacBook Pro as opposed to a PowerBook G4.

It has been 3 something years since the last 15-inch PowerBook G4 was released. It still is a great computer even though it’s lacking the proper ability to handle playback for higher definition videos. It still can import HDV movies just fine with a proper set-up.

Panasonic HDC-SD100: Raw AVCHD Sample

Panasonic HDC-SD100 is the third Panasonic AVCHD Camcorder that I use. The first one is Panasonic HDC-SD5 and followed by Panasonic HDC-SD9.

I am really impressed with the video quality of HDC-SD5 while I have mixed results with HDC-SD9. It is possible that I have a defective unit, and I did send it back to Panasonic for evaluation and repair. Unfortunately nothing has changed since.

My HDC-SD9 unit has a really poor low light performance even compared to the HDC-SD5 unit. I am hoping that HDC-SD100 would perform better than HDC-SD9 under the same lighting.

hdc-sd100_screencap

I tested Panasonic HDC-SD100 in-store, and recorded two videos on two different settings. The first one is recorded in 24p Digital Cinema Mode while the other is recorded in 60i mode. You can download the disk images below. Both disk images are in .iso format and zipped/compressed to save some disk space and bandwidth.

As of the date of this posting, iMovie ’09 will not import 24p AVCHD video from the camcorder or the disk.

I will be posting more videos recorded using Panasonic HDC-SD100 and some of the Raw AVCHD files.

iMovie ’09 Disables 24p Video Imports

iMovie '08 imovie09_no_24p

With the release of iMovie ’09, Apple explicitly removes 24p video imports. The same 24p AVCHD video can be imported using the latest iMovie ’08, although 2 seconds were missing in the import.

At the time of this posting, there is no workaround for iMovie ’09 to import 24p AVCHD video.
