Moving multiple video images?

Hello, I would like to know if there is an easier way to doing this. Moving things individually is a pain especially when there are 6 to 8 and they are off screen.
Here is what I am trying to do: I need 6 or 7 videos all on one "page". This page needs to be moved around while they are playing. Think of a comic book page where each comic frame is a live action video. I need to be able to move around that page freely going to each video separate or zooming out to reveal multiple segments on the same page at once.
Thank you for any help.

I do have Motion but have never used it.
All of the videos will be sitting in a specific location under a "frame" image with holes cut in it. If that makes sense. I just need to be able to move the "camera" around that page freely and for everything to stay in place.
One more thing, I would need the videos to start and stop at specific times. Lets say I zoom in on one image, it will start playing then freeze as I drift off to another.

  • Dislaying multiple video tracks in FCE

    I have 3 video tracks I want to view all at once. I am an iMovie guy and only use FCE for multiple video tracks where I have several cameras on the subject at diffferent angles. I've read a technique here on how to do it but I don't understand it. They talk of shrinking the tracks to 1/4 size and puting them in separate corners. My tracks are sychronized does moving them to separate corners mean in the time line, if so there goes the timing. Could someone list a simple step by step process for this. I'm guessing they mean 3 canvas windows showing each track but I don't know how to get there.

    1. Double-click the topmost clip and open the Motion Tab in the Viewer.
    2. Move the Scale slider down to 50% and drag the small image in the Canvas to one corner.
    3. Do the same with the other clips. You will end up with 4 quarter size images in different corners of the Canvas.

  • Problems with sound when I embed multiple videos on auto play into a composition widget.

    I am having problems with the sound when I embed multiple videos on autoplay into a composition widget in Muse. It sounds as if they are all playing at once. Note that within the compostion widget, options - the auto play is disabeled.
    I've a television set that has buttons below and I want the users to flick through the channels.
    I need the oriantaion to be stacked as they're contained within a frame (the tv). I have tried the lightbox view (which at first seamed to solve the problem), but unfortunately the position, orientation moves when shown on different divises. It Had to be quite precise as I was ovelaying the original frame within the light box.
    Could you please help me with this?
    Also, I wanted to let you know that I think this software is amazing. Great job!

  • Flash video image problem with newest nVidia driver

    I've got a very weird display error since the last update. Basically, whenever I play flash video and afterwards close the browser (chromium), any purely black surfaces will display the full flash player image. The effect is only visible in the "first" window of a xmonad tab, that means if I cycle the window positions it will be in a different window. The others are not affected. When I restart X, I can see the flash video image flashing up shortly on the black screen. Restarting X fixes the issue. I cannot take any screenshot of the problem because the error is NOT visible on the screenshot. Therefore I suspect that some frame buffer used for the flash player is not getting cleared properly after exiting the browser, but it's really little more than a wild guess.
    As there are multiple components involved, I'm at a loss of where this might be coming from. I hope someone might be able to shed some light on this situation. Please post here if you have the same problem or have any idea why this happens!
    My setup:
    -nvidia 260.19.36-2
    -flashplugin 10.2.152.27-1
    -chromium 9.0.597.94-1
    -xmonad 0.9.2-1
    -xmonad-contrib 0.9.2-1

    if you asking about a bug reported on arch linux bugtracker, then you are doing it the wrong way.
    flash and nvidia are closed source, we can't do anything. A better place is to submit bugs to nvidia and adobe.
    Now i see that nvidia 270.26 was released. Maybe you want to check that out:

  • "manually manage music..." missing songs when moving multiple albums at once

    Since updating to iTunes 10.6.1.7, when adding songs to my iPhone (iPhone 4, iOS 5.1) it does not fully copy every track/song.
    I have it set to "manually manage music and videos" ...when I am moving multiple albums to the thing at once, the earlier albums only copy the songs started before I select the next album. Consequently, I find that I only have partial albums for almost everything. I suppose I could be patient and wait for each album to download before selecting another album, but this used to work before and took a lot less time. (I would drag multiple albums into my iPhone and it would queue up all of the tracks(songs) and correctly download asynchronously.)
    Is this a known bug or is there something I am doing wrong? (As always, I did some searching for answers but came up empty on this one...)
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    The order iTunes is showing the tracks can be changed. Select the album column heading to get tracks list in album order. Normally within an album the tracks will list in track order when viewing this way.

  • Quicktime playing multiple videos question

    Hello Everyone.
    This is probably more of a html/java/flash based question but I thought I would start here as it revolves around the QT Player.
    I have a webpage
    http://www.drewwfilms.com/Temp/Ket/KetWedding.html
    On this page is the QT Player.
    Beneath the player are 3 buttons. When a viewer clicks one of those buttons I want it to load the respective video related to that button into the player without the browser loading a new page. Is this possible?
    Can someone steer me the right direction? Or help me out? I'm not even sure how to google search this. I tried Multiple Videos, 1 QT player Web - and I didn't get anything that helped.
    Thanks!

    I've been having this truly obnoxious problem ever since I installed Lion. Whenever I open a Quicktime video or a preview jpeg (and sometimes a Word document) - the last two or three documents I've viewed in these programs also open.
    This is the normal default mode for Lion which now "remembers" what documents (files, movies, images, etc) were opn when you last "Quit" each application. Either learn to close the documents before "quitting" the app or turn this feature off. (I.e., deselect the "System Preferences > Personal > General > Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" option.)

  • What is good practice for playing multiple video's in a single swf?

    Hello,
    I have build in the past a video wall with video's inside. After building this i came across some problems.
    If you have too many video players loading at once it takes a lot of processing and the tweens in the
    page while loading the video's where not moving fluidly, but more in a stuttering way.
    After lot's of test i found a good working solution.  I imported the flv video's into flash en exported them on the timeline
    as a embedded swf.  Then i externally loaded these swf files and that performed much better.
    Is it even good practice to load multiple video instances at once? I used this time the LoaderMax of greensock but the video's
    only play after it's completely loaded. I would like to find a way to progressive play all video's at.
    Does someone has experience with this?
    Regards,
    Chris.

    How about an XML file which supplies the title for each movie and the location or source of the video to be played?  Simple version below.
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    - <playlist>
    <video src="Gfx/video/Alex1.f4v" title="John Deere 330" />
    <video src="Gfx/video/Benni1.f4v" title="Hitachi Z240F" />
    <video src="Gfx/video/Scotti1.f4v" title="Hitachi Z350F" />
    <video src="Gfx/video/Scotti2.f4v" title="Hitachi Z350F" />
    </playlist>

  • Loading multiple videos in FLVPlayback

    I am building a video player which should load multiple videos in a FLVPlayback.
    When the loading of the first video has finished, the second one should start, using the VideoProgress Event.
    My code looks like this, videos is an array with the paths to the videos:
    flvPlayback.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progress);
    flvPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, onComplete);
    private function progress(e:fl.video.VideoProgressEvent):void
       if (e.bytesLoaded == e.bytesTotal)
         if (videos.length > e.vp + 1)
            flvPlayback.activeVideoPlayerIndex = e.vp + 1;
            var path = videos[e.vp+1];
            if (flvPlayback.source == "")
               flvPlayback.load(path);
            flvPlayback.activeVideoPlayerIndex = flvPlayback.visibleVideoPlayerIndex
    private function onComplete(e:fl.video.VideoProgressEvent):void
       if (videos.length > e.vp + 1)
          // set the volume to 0 before switching to next video because of
          // bug in FLVPlayback that prevents to play the sound otherwise.
          var v:Number = flvPlayback.volume;
          flvPlayback.volume = 0;
          flvPlayback.activeVideoPlayerIndex = value;
          flvPlayback.visibleVideoPlayerIndex = player.activeVideoPlayerIndex;
          flvPlayback.volume = v;
          flvPlayback.play();
    flvPlayback.load(videos[0]);
    flvPlayback.playWhenEnoughDownloaded();
    Now I have the problem when I test this locally, the first video is invisible sometimes when starting to play. This is not happening everytime, but sometimes the video is not shown, but I can hear the sound, and I can see the scrubber on the seekbar moving.
    I already tried to check in the progress function if the video is already playing, and if not, set a timer that will call the progress function again in 1 second. It seemed to help at first, but then it happened again. Does anyone know a workaround for this?

    Out of the AS3 documentation for FLVPlayback:
    activeVideoPlayerIndex
    A number that specifies which video player instance is affected by other application  programming interfaces (APIs).
               Use this property to manage multiple FLV file streams.
    This property does not make the video player visible;
               use the visibleVideoPlayerIndex property to do that.
               A new video player is created the first time activeVideoPlayerIndex
               is set to a number. When the new video player is created,
               its properties are set to the value of the default video player
               (activeVideoPlayerIndex == 0) except for source,
               totalTime, and isLive, which are always set to the
               default values (empty string, NaN, and false, respectively),
               and autoPlay, which is always false (the default is true
               only for the default video player, 0). The cuePoints
               property has no effect, as it would have no effect
               on a subsequent load into the default video player.
    setting the activeVideoPlayerIndex property to 1 will create another VideoPlayer instance inside of the FLVPlayback component. I have done it, it does work, but with the mentioned problem in my first post that the first video is not visible.
    So either I am doing something wrong, or there is a bug in how it is supposed to work.

  • Multiple Video Streams on Same Monitor or Screen

    Charles,
    What the client is asking for is PiP (Picture in Picture), and Colin has outlined the method for creating the PiP.
    I also find it easiest, when doing a lot of PiP work, to use alignment grids, to help me with both the Scaling and the Position. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail. For PiP, I will usually create a custom alignment grid, similar to this:

  • Maintain multiple video formats as versions

    I have a large Aperture library of personal photos and videos from a history of digital cameras going back over 10 years.  The videos are in a number of formats ranging from AVI, MPEG, MP4 and MOV. 
    I have had issues syncing videos to our iPhones/iPad through iTunes using the Aperture library as the sync source due to the video format not being supported (there are a number of discussions on this forum that talk about this error).  From what I can gather, iTunes will only sync certain supported video formats, requiring the videos to be converted accordingly. The majority of my videos fall into this category.
    I want to try keep all my videos in their raw format and was thinking maybe I can create iTunes friendly versions of the videos (mp4 or m4v etc) and store them in Aperture as versions of the orginal videos.  I have looked at a few articles that mention videos can be externally edited (http://aperture.maccreate.com/2011/03/14/setting-mpeg-streamclip-as-your-externa l-video-editor-aperture-3/) and saved back into Aperture as versions, however I have not been able to get this to work correctly and am usually prompted upon saving to pick a folder location for the new version.  I'm not sure how this works in a managed Aperture library.
    Has anyone had any experience with this or can offer any solutions?
    I was considering writing a plugin or AppleScript to go through my library and do this automatically, however I'm not too sure how feasible the option of hosting multiple video files linked back to one master is.
    Thoughts or suggestions welcome.

    To alleviate confusion, a "version" in Aperture world is a master image that has had changes applied to it in Aperture. Aperture gives you a thumbnail or preview of the master using the changes contained in the version file.
    What you want to do cannot be done by using versions, because video is not edited in Aperture. That is why each time you edit it with an outside editor, it is asking to import as a new Master, and thus, where you would like to store it. In a managed  library, master images are stored in the Aperture library along with everything else. In a referenced library, the masters are stored wherever you like and only versions ("changes") and preview files are stored in the library.
    The answer to your question is to use stacks. Import all your converted videos and stack them with the originals. Use the "friendly" version as the stack pick. It should be seen by other programs. When you want that original "unfriendly" file, its in the stack. This will double all your videos though...you won't have versions, you will have two masters.
    There is no need to write an applescript. View all your picturs, then use the magnifying glass tool in the top right corner of the browser view. Click on "Add rule", go to file type, and pick movies.  Or, conversley, you could display everything that is not an image. Then you can see all your videos and drag them to an album. You could also make a smart album that contains all your videos by adding the same rule. I highlighted my movies in purple using the metadata editor. Much faster to spot them.
    My personal point of view is that doubling your videos will make your library much larger unless you are using referenced masters. If you are using a managed library, you could make the original, unsharable videos referenced once they are stacked. Aperture would know where they are, but not keep them in the library. If you are unfamiliar with referenced masters, I would either learn about them or use the method below.
    I don't see much point in even keeping videos in formats that cannot be shared, edited, or viewed by the programs you want, unless its solely for organizational purposes or you are mixing work and life. I would just convert all the movies, leave the originals in an untouched folder, then import the converted ones I am actually going to share and watch into Aperture.  But I can easily imagine reasons to use the stacks method as well.
    Good luck, hope that all made sense.

  • Best Configuration for Multiple Video Captures

    Hello,
    What would be faster and the most efficient for multiple video captures:
    - 9 video feeds written to 3 separate internal hard drives (3 feeds per hard drive)
    - 9 video feeds written to 3 internal hard drives in a combined RAID configuration
    - 9 video feeds written to 9 separate external hard drives via eSATA
    I have a Mac Pro 3.06GHz 12-core Intel Xeon machine that will be dedicated to a security camera application (SecuritySpy). The Mac OS and SecuritySpy will be on one hard drive and send the captured video from nine network HD cameras to the other hard drives. The computer, eSATA card, and all the hard drives are 6Gb/s capable. I also have access to SoftRAID for the RAID configuration, as well as an 8-bay eSATA hard drive enclosure if I choose. There are pros and cons for each of the configurations, but I am looking for the most reliable setup in terms of efficiency and longevity.
    “Technological change is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.” (Albert Einstein, 1941),
    Dr. Z. 

    Just wanted to post the details of my final set up, maybe this will be useful to others looking to do a similar setup:
    1. Connected and set up the external hard drive (I bought a Western Digital My Book Pro Edition II 1TB) via Firewire 800 on iMac #1.
    2. Set up iMac #1 to backup via Time Machine. Even though the other computers will see the drive, apparently they will not recognize it in Time Machine unless you set it up on the computer the drive is connected to first (I tried).
    3. On iMac #2, connect to iMac #1 via file sharing, this is even easier now that you can access any computer on your network under "SHARED" in the sidebar of any finder window.
    4. Double-click the external drive. If you don't see the drive, click "Connect as" in the top right of the window and login. It's not necessary to do this, but if you want to confirm you've connected to the network drive, you can go to Finder -> Preferences -> General and under "Show these items on the Desktop" check the box next to "Connected Servers". This will make an icon for the external drive appear on your desktop.
    5. Turn on Time Machine on iMac #2. Repeat for any other computers you want to back up.
    That's it. So far this has worked great for me. Obviously the backups run a little slower on the computers running through file share, but its a small trade-off compared to either manually moving the drive around or getting three separate drives.

  • FCP 10.1.3 multiple graphic images into one frame

    Hi - How do I put multiple graphic images into one frame? - so it kind of looks like a video wall - except these are still images. I can do it manually but it's not precise. Anyone found a way other than this? Thanks.

    Here is my quick and dirty generator called "9 Pictures": https://www.dropbox.com/s/92c536wgesh2yzj/9%20Pictures.zip?dl=0
    To install it, unzip the file and place the folder inside /Users/yourname/Movies/Motion Templates/Generators
    It will look like this in FCP X. You just have to click each drop zone icon in the inspector and then select the desired clip from the browser. Use the Pan and Scale controls in the inspector to select which part of each image you want to use. Note: this was done in the hope that it may be helpful, but it is no more than a quick thing. You can also control-click the generator in the generator browser and choose open in motion (if you have it) to see how it was done and to modify it.

  • Unlinking multiple Video/audio clips

    Coming from FCP I'm used to doing certain things as part of the workflow.   One of these is being able to link / unlink multiple video/audio clips at the same time to that I can selectively delete or disable the audio if I'm running a second audio recorder or perhaps mixing a backing track.
    In PPro it seems like as soon as I select more than one clip the 'Unlink' option is grayed.    How can I select (say) 10 clips, unlink the audio from the video so that I can delete or disable it.   The reason for disable is that I may want the ambient sounds later on in the mix, but if I disable this audio without unlinking I also disable the video.
    I don't want to keep moving stuff on to more and more audio tracks and then have to mute the track, that's time consuming and a pain.   All I want to do it unlink multiple clips.
    This can't be that hard can it ?

    You don't need to Unlink in order to Delete.  Just hold down the Alt key while selecting the audio portion of the clips.
    You can 'disable' the audio by turning off the entire track, which is very easy to undo if you ever want the audio back.
    It's a slight shift in work flow, but the end result is the same.

  • Multiple video conference -- blurry picture

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, and am testing iChat AV. In the one-to-one mode, the incoming picture is way sharper than my old Mac. However, when I go to a multiple video conference, using a couple of test sites as the incoming pictures, both incoming feeds are blurry. Incoming audio is fine for both.

We changed the QuickTime streaming speed and we set the bandwidth limit to NONE but are still seeing blurry images. The funny thing is that it works well, with a sharp image, when we are only two chatting. But add the third and both become blurry (though my picture of myself is still sharp). Any ideas?
