I'm creating live video effects using a midi controller

I am creating live video effects using a midi controller on a mcabook.The final destination for the video content is an ipad app which uses the built in iPad camera to capture video. I want to "trick" the ipad into "filming" the video from the macbook with the effects. Does anyone have any ideas - software orhardware solutions are all viable. The ipad accepts audio through an Alesis iODock. I really be looking for a software solution which will over ride the built in camera on the ipad and accept a feed from the Macbook.

You can't override the physical camera and substitute the macbook camera.
You could find an app or write one that would have the macbook stream the video over wifi from the macbook to the iPad.

Creating a water Effect using AS3

Hi There
I have created a water effect in Adobe Flash using AS2,
however I now wish to create a flash application with the same
effect but using AS3.
Please see the attached code I have used to create the water
effect using AS2.
I am looking for somebody to help me change this to work in
Action Script 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You are maybe talking about the cursor tooltips? The
one when you pause over a link a little box pops up
with the link or name of the link? Maybe?
If so, iweb can't do this. It make the default
tooltips the name of the link. You can edit it to
whatever you want by changing the "alt" tag in the
html.

Is it possible to edit parameters of an object in the environment using a midi controller?

Is it possible to edit parameters of an object in the environment (such as the key parameter of a chord memorizer) using a midi controller?

Anyone know what I can do? Maybe even some kind of setup in the environment that will do this?
Thanks

New to iMovie, create live video and audio?

Hello, I am trying to create a video of a live musical performance to post on youtube and have figured out how to use the isight to get a video but can I use the biult in mics to record live audio with the video?

Hello, Nateomite
As Karsten says, you will certainly get better results and much more convenience with a camcorder.
However, if you decide to use your MacBook, the built-in mic can record audio with your video:
in iChat: iChat > Video > Record Chat records both video and audio.
in iMovie: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/7.0/en/10172.html
tells you how to record using your MacBook's built-in iSight (and mic.)
Other movie/video recording apps may work differently, but most allow sound with video.

What are the video effects used in this video

I was just wondering if anybody could help me. I was intrigued to find out what kind of video effect is used in this video at 0:16 - 0:18 and if theres a name for this type of video and editing used throughout the video such as the continous stream of different videos etc.

Do you mean the distorted lips or the bad tv reception.
The distorted lips can be anything from Bulge to Mesh Warp to Liquefy.
The bad TV reception can be started with the Bad TV Effects Presets that comes with AE. You can modify or edit these as you like.
I know of no specific style name that goes along with any part of this video other than lazy. It looks like nobody had an idea of what they wanted to do so they just shot a bunch of stuff and threw every effect they had in their bag of tricks at the project. Turn off the sound and it's impossible to tell what it is about. I don't mean to be critical but there's not much original here that I haven't seen a zillion times going back to the Video Toaster days. (probably before you were born). It's nothing more than a bunch of quick cuts and jitter.
Load up about 100 layers, trim them do different lengths from 5 to 30 frames, Select half of them, apply Bad TV1 to that bunch, Apply Bad TV2 to the another 10 random layers. Add tint, bulge, to a few more. set a couple of position and rotate keyframes to a few more then add wiggle to those, then use the Keyframe Assistant to sequence the layers and you'll be pretty close. It should take you about 15 minutes.
If you've got a specific question about how they made this jitter or how they made time stutter ask away. If used to tell a story these techniques are all useful. If you just want to create a jarring montage then follow my suggestion in the previous paragraph then run Brainstorm a couple of times.

Live video feed using Flex/Flash

Hi,
I have a question if someone doesn't mind giving me a "yes"
or "no" answer, please.
My developers have created a program for me that lets me
broadcast my LIVE web cam feed right on my web site in real time so
I can provide customer support and allow me to engage with web site
visitors. We are using Flash, Flex, and Adobe AIR.
The broadcast window size is 320 x 240 pixels. The problem is
the frame rate. I am only able to broadcast between 5 - 9 frames
per second whereas other people have been able to broadcast at
around 14 FPS.
Question: is it possible to use these applications
(Flash/Flex/Adobe AIR) to stream live video at 320 X 240 at frame
rates at least 24 or higher?
Thanks in advance for an answer. I don't expect a solution.
Just a yes or no from some experience(d) developer(s).
All the best.
Rodney

Lucas,
Here's what I do for multi-camera live shoots:
1. Connect all cameras to a switcher/DVE (looped through preview monitors) - I use a Panasonic WJ-MX50 or Sony DFS-300 Since you have five cameras, you'll obviously need a switcher with more inputs, or gang two of the above together. You'll need a switcher capable of the signal output your cameras offer, ie: composite, Y/C, component, triax .. whatever.
2a. Output of switcher goes to DVCam VTR.
2b. Audio is fed through a mixer and output to the VTR.
3. Firewire out from the VTR to the Mac/FCP.
4. In FCP, choose "Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now.
5. Use one of the analog outputs from the VTR to feed the projector(s) and the another analog output to a program monitor for the TD.
I always run safety tapes in each camera while the VTR is recording a switched master tape in case there's a problem with the capture in FCP (it can happen).
I also equip each cam-op with a 8" or 9" monitor, typically using the camera's composite output. And everyone is able to communicate using a Clear-Com system.
In 5 years, doing several shows per year, the capture in FCP has only failed three times and all of those times were when I was using a laptop. Whenever I've used my old G4 tower, capturing to one of the internal drives, its worked flawlessly each time. Fortunately, having a Master DVCam tape saved the day. The camera safety tapes are used just in case of a bad switch by the TD (usually me).
-DH
PS I should add that if you're feeding multiple projectors, you'll need a simple DA.

How can i create this videos effect ?

Hello, i am new here, and i have a project in my hand. I have to create a slideshow presentation on certain subject. I have completed the slideshow using a tool called,PhotoStage Slideshow Producer, with a bunch of 60 images. Now i want to add a small video effect in the beginning of the slideshow to make it look more professional. Here is the download link for the video. http://www.mediafire.com/download/i5az6a7rjp3lbkn/Video.rar This video is farely advanced for my liking, but you got the general message. I want something really simple and i want to add it in between different images for some effect. I may be asking in the wrong forum, again. Can Adobe’s Premiere Pro do it , or is there some other simple program that can make these kind of effect. Thank you.

Might be able to create it with Filter > Render > Clouds with your foreground and background colors set to the lighter and darker versions of your selected color. Then you might need to use Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur to smooth things out

How to create this video effect in my videos?

Hi all, new here, just got Premiere Elements 7 a week back, and must say i'm impressed...
I came across a video effect in a song found here (found from 0:53 till 1:30) where the screen goes completely white for a fraction of a second in a smooth manner and the picture returns again after that.
In fact i also want the effect of the fast forwarding of the video (audio remains the same) for a few seconds, which can also be found in the same clip in the same duration as i stated earlier... But till now i haven't been so successful at applying these...
Can you please help me out? Thanks!

For the "flash to white" you might take Paul's suggestion and invert it, i.e. placing the white matte on the Video Track (VT) above your footage, and Keyframing its Opacity. Personally, I'd look at doing this with Keyframing of Levels and cutting in a few frames of the white matte. Not sure about PE's Levels Effect (might look into some of the other "brightness" Effects too), but I'd be doing this in PrPro, which has a few more similar Effects.
One tip on the "fast-forward:" this was likely shot that way, with the camera mounted on a sturdy tripod and the a momentary switch used on the camera to do "stop motion" as the actors moved in the scene. If you do the Time Remapping, make sure to shoot on a tripod, so that the background does not change positions, only the actors to keep it looking clean. It also appeared to me that the videographer shot a few frames without the talent in the scene and these were either created in camera, or were inserted. I might have imagined this, but its use could be effective also. To keep the Audio at the exact pitch and speed, when Time Remapping, you'll want to use a soundtrack, and not rely on the Audio from the camera. You can do some work with the camera Audio to try and maintain pitch, but it can be a lot of work. Even for ambient sounds, i.e. the background sounds of the field, or forrest, I'd keep it, plus the soundtrack, separate from the Video stream.
An older Sci-Fi parody, "Ice Bandits" used a bit of stop motion freeze-framing and also under-cranking of the camera, for both Audio & Video, to create a humorous take on this Effect. If you can get a copy of that (might be on DVD?), look at the battle-scenes near the end. Heavy makeup changes were also incorporated to simulate "aging" when the action was sped up. The Time Remapped Audio contributed to the humor aspect, as the voices took on a "chipmunk-like" sound, and even the SFX were sped up too.
I don't see much real stop motion anymore in video, as much can be done in post. Back in the cine days, it was used for all sorts of effects. Jack Boseburg did a three-film trilogy, called "Trolley," that incorporated a lot of real stop-motion camera work. In his film, he controlled the camera with an intervelometer. I doubt that you could find a copy of this, however, as it was never commercially released.
Good luck,
Hunt

Video in VideoPlayer1 does not play. But play if live video created by Flash Media Live Encoder.
All my developer environment is described in this page - http://www.vb-net.ru/Flex_Video/index.htm
please, help

I'm a little confused here... do you want to upload a
pre-recorded video file, or have a live broadcast (like from a
webcam?)
If it's live broadcast, you'll want to use FMS.
If it's a prerecroded video, FMS might be a bit of expensive
overkill. You could just as easily use PHP to begin playing the
video from a given byte (see
http://flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2005/11/2/Streaming-flv-video-via-PHP-take-two
)

Live video distribution using CDN

I am planning a ACNS/CDN deployment that will based around web-caching, prepos content, VOD's and Live Video distribution for town hall meetings to Corporate sites.
I have completed the ACNS training and have a good picture of what I am going to be doing. The only real concern I have surrounds the distribution of VOD's and the Live streaming to potentially thousands of clients at each corporate site.
My plan was to allow content acquistion (for VOD's and Live Broadcasts) across the WAN using Unicast streams to each of the WAE edge devices (Easy stuff). For the distribution to the LAN (which could be 500+ users) I figured I would enable Multicasting (IGMP snooping, not so easy?) I have never worked with Multicast but have assosciates who have, should i expect performance hits to the LAN? or is this the recommended form of distribution?
I have purchased the proper licenses to accomplish this but before I move forward with this strategy I thought I would check here to see if anyone has done a deployment like this, I would love to hear some feedback both postive and negative.
The CDN will consist of two tiers, with the top level sites having WAE-7326's and WAE-612's at the second tier. All sites have an average of 10Mbs links with ISR enabled routers and a collapsed backbone design in the core.
Thanks!

Live Video editing using Augmented Reality

I saw Disney "i am in a band" video. I have a similar project in augmented reality based on enhancing retail experience.
I was having difficulty in finding action script code and if anyone of you can provide me with it for live video editing (specifically for placing different background in the back and front layer), i would be very thankfull.
see the link to get a better undertanding:

The Apple people probably didn't understand that you wanted a live mix. FCP can't help you there.
MultiCam is an FCP feature "post-switching" multicamera recordings for that live-to-tape look. It is fairly complex, and especially with only two "cameras" you would be muchn better to start off editing them on the timeline.
As for a live switch you need a video switcher. Outside the realm of FCP, but http://bhphoptovideo.com is a great place to do research.
Then if you're really serious you can record both feeds plus optionally the live switched output for further manipulation in FCP or elsewhere.

How do i use one midi controller and ignore another in Mainstage 2.1?

I am running Mainstage and Ableton Live in parallel and use two midi controllers. I would like the APC40 to just be recognized by Live, and my MPK49 to be recognized by Mainstage and Live. Right now, I get midi signal from Mainstage on both midi controllers and can't seem to figure out how to assign just Mainstage to just get midi input from the MPK49. Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, that worked a the device popups were set to all. Fixed that and moved on. Thanks! However another similar problem has come up...
The sliders on the APC40 (which I just want to be recognized by Live), are affecting the Mainstage Channel Strips volume sliders. I can't seem to figure how to make Mainstage ignore this as all of the APC40 sliders are effecting Channel Strip 1. Thanks.

Using a midi controller with Amplitube and Logic 9

Hi all
I'm stuck as helll at the moment can someone please help???
I'm trying to use my Line 6 x3 live as a MIDI controller for amplitube (whilst this is being used as a VST plug-in) for Logic 9.
Heres my setup.
Line6 x3live connected by USB and midi IN and OUT to a Focusrite Saffire USB - connected by USB to my IMAC (27 inch standard spec) and running this on logic 9 with Amplitube as a VST.
If any one can provide a step by step guide i'd be bloody grateful.
Thanks

Unfortunately there is no way to use the remaining knobs, sliders and buttons on your Axiom. My work around was to buy the Korg NanoKontrol. It is a cheap controller with knobs, buttons, sliders and transport controls that integrates perfectly with GB. There is a little plugin on the Korg site to DL and install to use with GB so you don't need to use the garageremote with your axiom.
Cheers.

Creating special video effects?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to put a vid effect in my movie I can't figure out how to do it, or find one online that does what I'm looking for.
I'm trying to do the "Dr. Evil" type of "I'm taking over the airwaves" thing. I have a headshot movie of an evil villain, and I really want it to transition over to him in a cool way. Make Sense?
Any thoughts?
Thanks

hi, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by an evil effect, but in iMovie it has the options on the right side (audio, trans, clips) stuff like that. If you select the clip once it's in the timeline, those options appear. Click "effects" and choose the effect you want. You can preview it and change it in different ways. Then drag that effect infront of the clip that you want it. If it's in the middle of a clip, go to edit, split video clip at play head and it'll split where you tell it to. That should add your effect. Hope that helps.

How do I use my MIDI controller to change PedalBoard in LP9?

I'm not exactly sure how to phrase this, so I'm to just go for it & then try my best to narrow things down, clarify & define.
I'm using Logic Pro 9 & Pedalboard (VERY cool). I've read the "manual" on it, but still can't figure out how to get my controller to run it. Basically, I have a Behringer FCB1010, that has been modified. It has 2 rows of "buttons", the bottom row now works like a regular stop box (it looks a LOT like Pedalboard actually) & there are two pedals. One pedal sends CC7 (Volume) the other pedal sends CC4. I use that one for a Wah Wah. The FCB1010 is programmed to send ONLY on MIDI Channel 16 (I set it that way).
The bottom row of 5 buttons are programmed as:
Button 1 => CC26
Button 2 => CC27
Button 3 => CC28
Button 4 => CC29
Button 5 => CC30
How do I (or can I) get say a Distortion Pedal in the first position of PedalBoard to respond to my Button 1, that's sending CC26, so that it can toggle the state of that pedal (turn it on / off)? Then, I'd like to do the same with the next several pedals on PedalBoard & use my pedals to run the Wah Wah pedal in PedalBoad.
Also, I have 2 keyboards (a Korg & a Kurzweil) running on different MIDI channels. I use them to trigger plugins. I've been able to figure out how to get each to play one plugin or both to play the same plugin, but is there something I can set so that when the keyboards send CC7, it goes to the plugin & does NOT get picked up by the Mixer? Right now, when I try to change the volume of a plugin, it turns down the fader for whatever channel on the mixer is associated with it. I JUST want it to run the plugin & bypass the Mixer if possible.
I'm sure this is a VERY confusing explanation of things. I apologize in adavance. PLEASE ask questions so that I can help to formulate a clearer picture of what the XXXX I'm trying to say & do here.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING!!!!

i inherited the website. It’s for a non-profit and is not very
sophisticated, and neither am I in webdesign. It currently has multiple
pages that are identical except for that body section, so whenever i change
the navigation (in the sidebar) I have to update every html page. I want
to have one basic page, and just call in the different body content based
on the link the user selects from the nav bar. How can i do that using a
script? i am using Dreamweaver.
