Steps for Native HDV Editing

The steps for capturing, editing, and outputting HDV in Final Cut Pro are almost identical to the workflow used for DV, but there are several important differences. The differences between the HDV and DV workflows are highlighted in the steps below.

Step 1: Connect your HDV camcorder to your computer via FireWire This step is similar to connecting a DV device via FireWire.

Step 2: Choose an HDV Easy Setup

Choose the HDV Easy Setup that corresponds to your HDV format.

Step 3: Log your footage and capture it to your scratch disk

This step is much like logging and capturing DV and other video formats. The differences are:

åSome options and controls are different in the Log and Capture window when you capture HDV. For example, you can resize the window in real time.

åWhen capturing HDV, scene detection is always enabled. A scene break is embedded data on tape that indicates where the camcorder was stopped and then started again. Whenever Final Cut Pro detects a scene break in your incoming HDV footage, a new media file and corresponding clip are created.

Step 4: Edit your HDV clips into a sequence and add effects

Editing HDV is similar to editing other formats in Final Cut Pro. However, you cannot view native MPEG-2 HDV video on an external HDV device connected via FireWire. You can monitor HDV video via DV FireWire, a third-party video interface, or the Digital Cinema Desktop Preview option.

Important: The only way to output HDV video to an HDV device via FireWire is to use the Print to Video command.

Step 5: Output HDV back to tape, or export to a QuickTime movie

Before you can output or export your HDV sequence, Final Cut Pro needs to conform any noncompliant GOPs to the correct I-, P-, and B-frame pattern. Conforming is a necessary step for creating an acceptable MPEG-2 data stream for HDV devices.

Important: Conforming and rendering are not the same. Rendering calculates the visual data for each frame, whereas conforming ensures that your sequence has the proper GOP structure prior to output.

You can only output HDV footage to tape using the Print to Video command. The Edit to Tape command is not supported for HDV media.

The Apple iPhone 6, released in September 2014, marked a significant evolution in Apple's smartphone lineup. This model introduced a larger screen and a sleeker design, setting the stage for future devices in the iPhone series.

One of the most notable features of the iPhone 6 was its display. With a 4.7-inch Retina HD screen, the iPhone 6 offered a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, delivering vibrant colors and sharp images. This screen size was a departure from previous models, appealing to users who favored larger displays for better viewing experiences, whether for gaming, watching videos, or browsing the web.

The design of the iPhone 6 was another highlight. It featured a slim, curved aluminum body that not only made it more aesthetically pleasing but also improved its ergonomics. Weighing just 129 grams, the phone was light yet robust. The placement of volume buttons, the power button, and the headphone jack was thoughtfully designed to enhance usability.

Under the hood, the iPhone 6 was powered by the A8 chip, a 64-bit dual-core processor that offered impressive performance and energy efficiency. Coupled with the M8 motion coprocessor, the device could effectively handle demanding apps and services while optimizing battery life, providing users with a smooth experience throughout the day.

The camera capabilities of the iPhone 6 were also advanced for its time. It featured an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization and a f/2.2 aperture, allowing for clearer low-light photography. The front-facing camera was improved as well, offering a 1.2-megapixel resolution and support for 720p HD video, making it great for selfies and video calls.

Connectivity options included LTE support, enabling faster download speeds, and Wi-Fi calling, which allowed users to make calls over Wi-Fi networks, enhancing communication in areas with poor cellular coverage. The iPhone 6 also introduced the Apple Pay feature, allowing users to make secure transactions using their devices.

In terms of software, the iPhone 6 originally came with iOS 8, which boasted new features such as HealthKit and HomeKit, further integrating technology into daily life. Regular software updates ensured that users could enjoy the latest features and security enhancements well into the device's lifecycle.

Overall, the iPhone 6 distinguished itself with a combination of innovative design, powerful performance, and a user-friendly experience, solidifying Apple's position in the smartphone market and paving the way for future iterations in the iPhone lineup.
