Into Flash direct from camera

When I connect my camera via the USB, can I import direct
into flash and see the 'live' picture within Flash?
I have looked for something i file-import but this only lists
importing prepared movies.

Importing directly from the camera is often problematic. It mounts using a TWAIN driver, and this always seems flaky.
Importing via a card reader mounts the device like a drive, and I have never had problems with this approach. It's almost always faster as well. The only downside is you can't do "tethered" shooting (basically live off the camera).
Anyway, is the Sandisk Extreme 2.0 reader the $90 jobbie? I believe I recall reading a review on Luminous Landscape that noted its speed is only realized if you use their Extreme 4 series of cards -- otherwise it's not all that much faster than a normal reader. I would expect most USB 2.0 or Firewire 400 readers would be fine -- personally I use a Lexus Firewire 400 reader and it has been excellent. The "right" Sandisk combo is faster, but it depends on whether you need that speed for import. It's nice, but often not a "have to have."

    I have just updated to LR5.  I also have a new Camera.  Nikon D800.  Trying to import directly (from camera) into LR.  But unsuccessful. Getting the following message.  "The files are from a camera which is not recognised by the raw format support in Lightroom."  How can I import please?

    Hi,
    I assume you mean the Nikon D810 because D800/800E support has been there since Lightroom 4.1
    Currently, because it is a new camera (D810) the only support is in a RC of ACR 8.6 for Photoshop CS6 and CC, as the RC runs out on 31 August it is expected support will be there in the next dot release of Lightroom.
    Current limitations are that only full sized NEF is supported.
    If you wish to import to Lightroom 5.5. you will need to download the DNG Converter v8.6RC and convert the NEF files (full size RAW ony) to DNG then import into Lightroom 5.5

  • LR displays "no preview available" upon import direct from camera after last update. How do I fix this?

    I have the latest LR update with Nikon D700 and import directly from camera. I purchased a new CF card in case the old one was the problem but I get the same thing with the new card. Is there a bug in the last update or is this a problem with my equipment?

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • Is there a way to download photos directly from camera to iPad?

    Is there a way to download photos directly from camera to iPad 2?

    Yes,  you need to buy the Camera Connection Kit from Apple.  It has two dongles that plug into the iPad, an SD card reader and a USB that you can connect your camera to.  (This USB port is for cameras, and I believe, for keyboards - not for attaching other devices to, like a hard drive.)

  • How to download photos direct from camera

    Can I upload photos directly from camera to iPad.

    You can transfer pictures from camera to iPad using the Camera Connection Kit (CCK)

  • When I copy files from my camera to my C drive and import to PP there isn't any meta data when I import direct from camera it is available.

    My camera is a Sony HDR-CX730 AVCHD format
    Software is Windows 7 and CS6 Production Suite
    When importing images direct from the camera all metadata such as dates, time etc is available in PP
    When files are  copied from the camera to C Drive on the computer and then imported into PP the metadata is lost.
    What do I need to do?

    Thought it might have been the case. My GH3 also shoots both AVCHD and MOV/H.264  files. With the GH3, the AVCHD is both more complicated (on account of the folder structure) and a slight bit noisier ... with no other image quality gain. So I've done as most folks, shot really only the MOV with it.
    But that first bit of shooting with it ... um ... naive, shall we say? ... after 35+ years of pro stills portrait shooting, and more than a decade totally digital, well ... yea, I just grabbed the image files too. As do an awful lot of people. A very common thing to solve around here!

  • IMovie '11 capturing direct from camera crashed, need to recover file

    I was caputuring direct from a camera via firewire and the drive got almost full, so iMove crashed.  I can find the capture file, a .mov, put it fails to open in quicktime or VLC.
    Please help.  I've got over 2 hours of footage that I really need.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    An alternative solution....for now. If you copy the files to your desktop or in any other folder you want them (it's temporary), you can still import them in iMovie. Just click Archive, Import, Movies and search for the folder you put your files in. I did it several times with success, that means no error! Now I can use my files and edit them in iMovie. You can delete the files on the desktop, since iMovie has copied the files into the iMovie library.
    Another possibility is drag and drop the files from your desktop directly into an event. iMovie will copy the files into the library. For both options I am not sure if analysation for stability en recognising persons had been done while importing, but I guess you can do that later on.
    Do not make the mistake of importing them in Aperture or iPhoto, drag and drop it an iMovie-event and delete it in Aperture/iPhoto... You will only hear the audiostream, you will see miniatures in iMovie, though your videostream is gone. That's how I lost the first video of my second daughter .
    Until there's a good solution or update from Apple it works for me. I hope it does for you too!

  • Capturing directly from camera causes audio to go out-of-sync

    I'm capturing directly from Canon XHA1 camera into FCP7 on my Macbook Pro (onto an external hard drive) via Firewire. I'm also recording to tape in the camera at the same time.
    This works fine -- until I stop & start the tape while recording. This causes the audio to go out-of-sync with the video on the Macbook captured file. (I just let the computer keep capturing, while stopping & starting the tape in the camera.)
    Is there a setting in FCP7 to alleviate this problem?

    YOur not alone.
    I use a Sony Z5, and usually doesnt have a issue, but noticed recently that we are having some sync issues out of the blue.
    We connect to a MacBookPro via firewire and capture live in FCP.
    We have since changed cameras that records onto SD cards, and havent had a issue since. But just wanted to let you know, your not on your own!

  • Direct from camera or Card Reader?

    Aloha all, a few questions because I'm stumped, and have searched the Canon site with no luck, so I thought I'd ask people who have real world knowledge. Here's the problem. Suddenly every program that I attempt to up-load my shots with, can not see the pictures on the camera (20d). They do recognize the camera, and it mounts fine, but it shows up with 0 photos for import. Each one says no photos to up-load, however when I view them on the camera they are there, and when I use a card reader they show up, and up-load/import fine. Any idea why they suddenly can't be seen when the camera is connected directly? More importantly for me, is there a fix you know of that doesn't involve sending the camera in for repairs?
    The Applications I use, and won't show/import the shots directly from the 20d are 1. Aperture, 2. Photoshop CS, 3. iPhoto, 4. Digital Photo Professional
    Part two, please bare with me.
    Does/has anyone used the Sandisk Extreme USB 2.0 Reader? I'm looking for a new card reader and like this one. I don't really need/want a reader that reads 12 - 15 different cards, just a CF and maybe a memory stick. Is the USB 2 ok speed wise? (I shoot mainly RAW). Or would you recommend going FW?
    Mahalo in advance for any suggestions, tips, or advice. JB

  • How to boot a desktop-PC into RT directly from harddisk (without floppy disk)

    Hello,
    we are using a normal desktop-PC as LabVIEW real-time target (ETS).
    Unfortunately, we always have to use the floppy boot disk (created with MAX) in order to boot this RT-system.
    Once we had a National Instruments PXI real-time system and there was no need for that boot disk to start the system.
    So, why do we have to boot the desktop-PC from a floppy disk instead of booting directly from harddisk?
    Or is there a possibility to boot the desktop system without floppy disk, just like the PXI-system?
    Tom S.

    Hi Daniel,
    thank you for your reply.
    I just checked again if I can boot the RT-system without the floppy disk, from harddisk only - but that doesn't work ("DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK...").
    Of course, the boot order in BIOS is set up appropriately to allow booting from harddisk.
    And also, the complete software package was already installed on harddisk via MAX through the previously configured network connection.
    Actually, it seems there is no boot loader installed on harddisk at RT-systems for desktop-PC's.
    The boot loader has to be launched from the floppy boot disk and afterwards, the further boot program is loaded from hard disk.
    Is there anyone who can boot a desktop-PC into RT without the floppy disk? And what do I have to set up in order to make it work for our system?
    Thanks,
    Tom S.

  • Downloading files directly from camera to Mac HD using LR 5.2

    I have always been successful downloading directly from my camera to my hard drive using LR5.2. However, today, when i downloaded approximately 60% of my files of over 200 RAW photos by first "unchecking" all and then checking only those i wanted to save (before Importing) the screen went black and posted a message which read "select a source."
    First time I encountered this, my camera battery showed half charge, but the second time i repeated the process with a fresh, fully charged camera battery I got the same error message. How do I recover those files on my computer (the photos are obviously still in the camera)? What went wrong?

    In your operating system, move the photos to the external HD, keeping the folder structure unchanged, and then in Lightroom reconnect using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • Receiving Adobe form into SAP directly from email

    Hi All
    I want to know if it is possible to receive a adobe interactive form directly from email into SAP where we can automate the upload of the PDF data. If so what needs to be done to get this working?

    Hello,
    I am aware its is possible to use "import" in SFP menu. But I don´t know how. I would like to assure you, you can just copy the layout in your source form (it was just some layout created in standalone LCD) and copy it into the opened layout (LCD in SAP) in your SFP transaction. Then the editor think you have just finished drawing that and everything works the way you expect.

  • .THM Sidecar Files Not Included When Importing Video Directly From Camera (Canon 7d)

    Lightroom (3.4) has always copied the .THM sidecard files when I have imported video files from my Canon 7d using a card reader.  However I am on a trip and have forgotten my card reader so I have been copying directly from the camera and for some reason Lightroom is not copying the .THM sidecar files and thus I am missing all my valuable metadata such as camera, exposure, focal length, ISO, etc. associated with the video files.  Very frustrating!
    Any ideas?

    Also because I do not have a card reader I cannot grab the .thm files myself.  Mac OS X (and I think Windows) just see the camera as a "device" and offer to import but do not give me direct access to the files.  Maybe if there is an app that will allow me to do that when the camera is connected I can work around this for now.

  • Importing Images into Flash CS4 from Photoshop 7

    Hello,
    I've created an image in flash, basically the image is a ring which has then been divided into 3 equal segments, each segment exists on its own seperate layer with and has a transparent background. I want to make ach of these segments into a button on flash, so I've imported them across and converted them into buttons, however the problem I have is that when it gets imported into flash, it creates a box around each segment which is what flash sees as the full button, this means when you roll over a blank piece of the segment flash recognises it as rolling over the button. Is this just an inherent problem from importing from photoshop into flash or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks
    Sean

    Check the settings:
    Edit/Preferences.../PSD File importer...
    And then load the *.psd file without the background.
    And certainly there is no change in flash...
