Here is a 7 part series in which Dave Helmly from Adobe walks you through a complete 3D Stereo workflow with Premiere Pro CS5. This is a start to finish workflow and a must see for anyone getting started with 3D Stereo video shooting and editing or just interested in the technology and the whole workflow. The videos start from the basic 3D camera rigs, covers Active, Passive and Anaglyph viewing methods as well how to play your videos on a consumer 3D HDTV.

You’re shooting with your new HDV or HD camcorder, and the footage looks amazing! But are you really seeing the full picture?

Not unless you’re looking at a high definition monitor. But professional HD monitors are still expensive.

So, here’s an idea:

You can buy a LCD TV/computer monitor (the lines are being blurred more every day) that can be used for three different purposes:

1. While shooting, you can run component (like from the Canon XL H1 or XH A1) out of your camera into component input on the LCD to monitor what you’re shooting in full, pixel-for-pixel 1920 X 1080 glory. If your camera has HDMI, like the HV20, you can use the HDMI input.

2. While editing, you can use the Blackmagic Intensity or Intensity Pro card to output component or HDMI to the LCD for a pixel-for-pixel accurate view of 1080i HD while color correcting or creating effects.

3. And, when editing or doing other things, you can use the DVI input for a nice 1920 X 1080 or 1920 X 1200 computer display for extra screen real estate.

We just bought the BenQ FP241W 24″ LCD Monitor with these inputs:

Composite Video
Component Video
VGA
DVI-D
HDMI

Here is a very informative review of this monitor (by an actual user, not a writer!):

This Samsung monitor seems to have all the inputs of the BenQ except HDMI.

The Dell 2407WFP 24″ LCD Display also has the inputs of the BenQ except HDMI.

If your projects are going to be delivered on DVD or broadcast, it’s important to have an accurate studio monitor on your desk so you can see your project as your viewers will see it while you’re editing.

Why?

First, many editing programs show you a low quality “proxy” of your timeline, so you can’t judge color correction, brightness, saturation, contrast, how titles or graphics will look, or any other aspect of the picture accurately.

Can I just enable a second computer monitor to show video and that will work?

With some editing programs, you can enable a second monitor to show a pixel-accurate view of the video, which will give you a lot better picture of what your viewers will see in terms of graphics… but color won’t be as accurate. Computer video is based on RGB, not YUV color space. A computer LCD will display a different gamut of color than an LCD TV. For example, some colors are “impossible” in NTSC or PAL that show just fine on a computer screen.

In the past, for DV monitoring, I’ve always used a Sony PVM 14″ studio monitor, it seems the right size for desktop monitoring, plus it usually has a handle right on top, meaning as you go out the door to a shoot you can grab it and bring it on the set as a reference or “safety” monitor while shooting.

Here is a list of such monitors on eBay.

For DV, if your budget doesn’t cover a studio monitor, or if buying one would force you to sacrifice something more important, you might first check eBay for a used one, or, a television is still much better than nothing! A TV with an S-Video input will give you better results than a simple composite connection.

UPDATE FOR MONITORING 1080i HDV:

Professional HD monitors are still expensive.

So, here’s an idea:

You can buy an LCD TV/computer monitor (the lines are being blurred more every day) that can be used for three different purposes.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Jan. 4, 2007 — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced that the next version of Adobe® Production Studio, the integrated video and audio post-production tool set that is part of the Creative Suite family, will be available for both the Macintosh and Windows® platforms. Film, video and web professionals currently using Adobe After Effects®, Adobe Photoshop® and Adobe Illustrator® on the Mac will soon be able to harness the power of completely new Macintosh releases of Adobe Premiere® Pro, Adobe Encore® DVD and Adobe Soundbooth™ — all key components of an upcoming milestone revision to Adobe Production Studio. The software will have its first public demonstration during the Macworld 2007 Conference and Exhibition at The Moscone Center in San Francisco, January 9 – 12 (Booth 901). The next release of Adobe Production Studio is expected to ship in mid-2007.

“Our customers wanted all the components in Adobe Production Studio to be available on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms,” said John Loiacono, senior vice president of Creative Solutions Business Unit at Adobe. “We listened and believe that an innovative new cross-platform video suite, anchored by powerhouse releases of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects, will really shake up the industry.”

Adobe Production Studio creates an efficient post-production workflow enabling creative professionals to move smoothly between the full range of post-production tasks while remaining focused on their creative vision. The product combines Adobe’s award-winning applications, including Adobe After Effects for compositing, effects and animation, Adobe Premiere Pro for non-linear editing, Adobe Encore DVD for DVD authoring, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, as well as the time-saving workflow enhancements offered by Adobe Dynamic Link. Dynamic Link eliminates the need for rendering when moving motion graphics and visual effects from Adobe After Effects to the real-time HD, SD and DV editing environment in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Encore DVD.

Adobe Soundbooth is designed to enable creative professionals to produce high-quality audio. Offering the ability to quickly record, edit, and customize audio and music for web and video production, Adobe Soundbooth makes the delivery of pristine sound tracks fast and efficient. Adobe Soundbooth will take the place of Adobe Audition in the next version of Adobe Production Studio. Adobe Audition will continue to be developed for audio professionals as a stand-alone product for Windows.

“At Turner Studios Post, we are constantly modifying our workflows to gain the greatest efficiency while maintaining the highest quality and most creative end results for our clients,” said Ken Brady, director of technical operations at Turner Broadcasting Atlanta. “Supporting all of the Turner Entertainment Networks means we have to remain flexible and, most importantly, productive. Adobe Production Studio coming to the Apple platform moves us one step closer toward realizing an internal goal of having just one workstation per editing suite, with all of the creative tools available that our operators need. The tight integration of the components in Production Studio is a model that our editors really enjoy.”

Adobe video technologies — including Adobe Production Studio, Flash Media Server for streaming interactive media applications and Flash Video for easy video playback across the Internet — are having a profound impact on how broadcast and video content is being distributed. Today, thanks to Adobe’s Emmy-award winning Flash Video software, television shows such as Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy and Friday Night Lights are being delivered online, while the technology also powers the video capabilities of social networking sites like YouTube and MySpace.

Pricing and Availability

The next version of Adobe Production Studio for Macintosh and Windows is expected to be available in mid-2007. Adobe Production Studio as well as Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Encore DVD, and Adobe Soundbooth will be available for Intel-based Macintosh computers; the next releases of Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator will be offered as Universal Binaries for the Macintosh. Adobe Production Studio and all its components will continue to be available for the Windows platform

I have shot multicam concerts locking up timecode by beaming wireless audio SMPTE timecode to all cameras and recording it on Ch 2, but I can tell you it was a big hassle and a waste of time.

My recommendation for multi-camera shoots is to either:

1. Use TOD (Free Run) Timecode

TOD (Time of Day) timecode is a switchable option on some recent camcorders. With this option, you can synchronize multiple cameras, then each camera can start or stop at will, and the timecode always reflects the current time, not the tape position, so the shot can always be matched to the other cameras.

The TOD timecode option on the Canon XL2 is shown near the end of the XL2 Feature Tour video on this page:
http://www.dvcreators.net/canon-xl2/

Here is a clever article by Chris Hurd on using Free Run Time Code for multicam shoots:
http://www.dvinfo.net/canonxl2/articles/article11.php

2. Use Sync Point and Rewrite Timecode in post

If your camcorders do not have the TOD timecode option, the next best thing is to use a "sync frame".

Each time the cameras roll, shoot a sync frame, which could be a slate with clapper, someone clapping their hands once, or some other visual or sound cue that you can identify in all camera shots as the same frame. You’ll need to do this again each time you stop, then restart the cameras. It’s best if this sync point is visual and sound, since you can scrub picture to get close, then zero in on the spike in the audio waveform which is far more accurate (48,000 samples per second) than picture (24 – 29.97 frames per second).

Sometimes the sync frame is natural, like when shooting a live musical event, the beginning of each song could serve as a sync point.

In this case, it’s important to have wild sound (built-in camera mic) live for all cameras, since you’ll be able to easily fine-tune sync between the different cameras by emilinating the echo on the audio tracks.

Then, in your editing software, you can match the sync frames and all else should be hunky-dory. In some software, you can actually rewrite auxillary timecode for some clips so the timecode matches the A camera exactly. If you do this, don’t rewrite the primary timecode track, just the auxillary, or else you lose the ability to media manage, batch capture, etc.

It seems more and more common that editors are being asked to use content from a DVD- perhaps the client has provided you with last years annual report DVD… and wants you to redit it. (Remember, ripping off copyrighted content is a Federal offense with imprisonment and large fines possible!)

You can use MacTheRipper to get the content from a DVD on your hard drive (OS X only)

MPEG Streamclip is an application that converts MPEG files (including transport streams) into muxed, demuxed, QuickTime, AVI and DV files. http://www.squared5.com/

Here is a tutorial on extracting content with MPEG Streamclip:

ffmpeg will convert to DV or many other formats.

HandBrake is cross-platform and will output MP4, H.264, OGM or AVI from DVD content.

MacMPEG2Decoder 1.0b7 — Convert MPEG files extracted from DVD into another video format with Quicktime

More info in this article.

If you shot and edited a project in DV format, this is one recommendation:

1. Check your edit to make sure luma (brightness) and chroma (color saturation) levels are within broadcast-legal ranges. Adjust if necessary.
2. Check your project for audio clipping, and adjust levels if needed.
3. Make sure you’re completely out a second before the time limit- that is, for a :30, all music tails and fades should be complete by :29, or you run the risk off getting cut off by the slop factor in broadcast sequencers.
4. Add a countdown with a pop on 2 and total silence and black for the last second.
5. Output your project to DV tape, or better yet, an uncompressed Quicktime movie on a portable Firewire drive.
6. Find out what format your client or the station prefers. DigiBeta is my preference among common formats, but some stations prefer Beta or other formats.
7. Find someone in your area who has a lot of experience and expertise creating broadcast masters. Often this will be a person at a "dub house" (like Allied Vaughn), or someone at a local post house that offers dubbing services.
8. At their dubbing station, typically they will run the signal from your master through a proc amp, scopes, and audio through EQ/compressor/limiter to make the final master. If this person is an expert, they know from tons of experience how broadcast looks and sounds and they will be able to do final tweaks to your master in contrast, brightness, color saturation, audio compression and EQ that will improve the quality dramatically on the viewers TV sets. The dub house can add bars and tone at this stage.
9. Ideally you will be present when they make the dub, watching your project on an expensive component or digital NTSC monitor so you can help them make sure the look and sound is what you want. But if you find the right person, someone who has mastered hundreds or thousands of broadcast spots and shows, you can trust that they’ll do a good job.

One good option is dubbing your analog footage to a DV or HDV tape with the analog inputs of your camcorder. That way, your footage has been digitized and timecoded, and is ready to capture via FireWire into your system as if it had been shot on digital.

If you have Hi-8 footage, there are Sony “digital 8″ camcorders with Firewire that will transfer Hi-8 footage (no timecode, though) directly into your computer.

This method has a lot of advantages- your footage is more convenient if you wish to use it in other projects or re-edit your project, it will last longer on digital tape, and you can log & batch capture normally with your editing software.

If you don’t like the idea of doing two passes, and you don’t need the footage timecoded, most camcorders have a pass-thru function so they act as a live convertor box. You will probably have to put your camcorder into “VCR” mode, and maybe “record pause” mode. If your camcorder doesn’t have this option in the menus, you may still be able to capture the video onto your hard drive AS it’s dubbing to DV or HDV (this is a hidden secret feature of many digital camcorders- pass thru to FireWire from the analog inputs WHILE recording).

There are various conversion boxes available, but why would you need one* if you own a camcorder? And if you don’t own a camcorder, buying a Canon ZR is not much more money then a box (and comes with a free camcorder to boot!)

*The exception is a box that doesn’t merely convert, but processes the video to correct problems, like this:

http://www.dvcreators.net/video-processordv-converter/

When moving footage is not available, don’t forget about still photos! You can animate still photos with motion and scale, crop them, apply filters (like sepia, B & W, color tint) and sometimes stills can fill empty spots in your timeline as well or even better than a video clip. Also, many stock photos are automatically HD res!
