Output to Video

I'm working with Final Cut Pro 3.
When I'm working with the timeline, and watch my project on the computer screen, everything is fine. But when I output to DV, sometimes my sound skips a beat.
I know there are two ways to output to DV, by playing the timeline and recording that, or choosing "Print to Video". Which is better? I've always done "Print to Video".
Hope someone can help me! Thanks!
By the way, I have music track (two tracks), and sound effects over that. and that sound effect seems to be the cause of problem!

Try doing an audio mixdown before printing to tape.
Not sure on FCP 3 but I think it was the same...
Select the entire sequence then SEQUENCE > RENDER ONLY > MIXDOWN
Also, make sure the sound effect is not an mp3 file... they will pop. file should be AIFF 48Khz
I'm not sure of the exact differences between playing out the timeline and using PTV other than the obvious.... PTV allows you to add bars, and tone and repeat the playback etc. As for playback, I think the only difference is that it forces the timeline to render before it will start.

Output iPad video to 27" iMac using iPad VGA adaptor?

Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
Thx.

No. The VGA adaptor is an analog connection and the only inputs are digital Mini Display / Thunderbolt ports depending on your model. It maybe possible with a conversion box of some sort or maybe trying an HDMI to mini display port cable ($44.95) and an iPad 2. The 27' should be able to be used as a second display but the 21 is not. If you have the iPad 2, pick up the cable and the HDMI adapter and try it out. If not, return the cables within two weeks.

You'd need something to redirect the VGA signal to a DisplayPort connector on the iMac. Your other option is VGA is easily adaptable to S-Video, though its resolution is not as great as VGA and using http://www.elgato.com/ 's hardware for that. A third one is using a Remote Desktop app for the iPad. Several exist.

Output 24pn video for television?

Here is the situation. I’m working on a video which I shot 720p 24pn on my HVX200. I need to output the video onto tape to play on local TV channels (so I'm assuming i need to make the tape NTSC 29.97 interlaced, 720x480)
I’m using fcp 5.1.4. My sequence is set to 'DVCPRO HD 720p60' with the frames per second set to 23.97.
*This is my question- What is the best workflow step by step going from the 720p24pn timeline to a NTSC tape?*
Can FCP add the pulldown to the 720p 24pn footage? Id so how do I do that? If not, do I need to use an external plugin like Graeme Nattress GAddPulldownDown to do the pulldown and then convert the frame size with compressor? Any other suggestions? Then do I bring that converted video file back into a FCP DV NTSC timeline and print to tape?
I am not familiar with handling progressive footage and 24fps footage so any advice is much appreciated- I just want to make sure I do it right and it looks the best it can.
Thanks

Where in Montana? I lived half my life in Missoula, and went to college in Bozeman.
You gotta talk to the channel as to what they will take. SD 29.97 NTSC doesn't say much at all. BetaSP, Digibeta, DV, DVCPRO 50, 3/4" Umatic, MII (they had MII at the PBS station in Bozeman...ugh). Don't figure on anything...ask them. Just because it is Montana doesn't mean it is completely backwards. I have no doubt they have beta and digibeta tapes. But, being as low cost as the TV stations must be, I'll wager that DV and DVCAM are more the norm.
If you have a DVCPRO HD deck and you are ouputting DVCPRO HD, ONLY THOSE DECKS will remove the pulldown. And an HVX-200 isn't a DVCPRO HD tape mechanism, that is DV. You cannot downconvert from DVCPRO HD to DV via firewire, much less remove the pulldown, and just dropping a DVCPRO HD 23.98 clip into a DV timeline and rendering won't do it either. FCP is horrid at removing the pulldown. Find a deck and export, or export a self contained file and take it to someone with a Kona or Decklink card.
Man, the faculty at MSU have approached me with the idea of teaching as an adjunct for a year. That is heavy on my mind...

Firewire Output for Video Preview Intermittent

I'm experiencing a frustrating problem with After Effects these days.
We're producing some video to be projected, so to see what the final output will really look like, I'm doing video previews using FireWire so output goes directly to the projector.
It's been working great up until yesterday. Was working fine until I had to restart my Mac. Upon reboot, my the projector no longer gets any video output.
I've tried restarting numerous times, checked all connections, etc. Got it working again after several restarts, but after switching over to Photoshop momentarily, the video output once again disappeared.
Any suggestions on how to regain consistent Firewire output for Video Previews?
My setup:
After Effects CS6
Mac Pro
OSX Version 10.7.5
Firewire Output of my Mac's monitor is going to the Firewire Input on my Sony Media Converter
RCA Video out (Composite video) going to the projector's video input.
After Effects Video Preview preferences:
Output Device: FireWire
Output Mode: Apple FireWire NTSC

Thanks for your reply, Rick.
I finally figured it out... I had a background application running called iCam that monitors my security cameras. I had forgotten that it uses Firewire and was intermittently hogging the resources. Once I quit that application, everything was good once again.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated!

I have the following device adapter - Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chip Set Family, and two sound, video, game controllers - Coexant High Definition Smartadudio 221 and Intel (R) HIgh Definition Audio HDMI.

How can I output RCA video?

How can I output RCA video from the headphone jack of my macbook pro? Is there any software to do this?

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...

Need to Output 24P Video

I am outputting a video that I cut in 24P and I want to open it up on to a new time line. I want the most uncompressed way of exporting and space is not an issue. Should I go with 8bit or 10bit uncompressed?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks

If you export an uncompressed file, you need to create a sequence that matches those settings. Choose an EASY SETUP that matches, then create a new sequence.
But, again, we are ALL asking you, why are you doing this? I fail to see how exporting an uncompressed QT will help with soundtrack. Even exporting a self contained QT Movie (what you SHOULD be doing if you want a QT with no further compression)....why? All that will do is make your audio into a Stereo pair, and negate any sound mixing you can do in Soundtrack.
Why do you assume that it is the fact that your footage is scattered on several drives is what is causing Soundtrack to crash? That doesn't sound right. Scattered media doesn't cause applications to crash...other things do, like corrupt preferences or bad permissions. If I were you, I'd pose this question in the SOUNDTRACK forum and ask for assistance.

Outputting DVD video to TV monitor

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to output DVD video from my Mac Mini through firewire, using my DV camcorder as a pass through to a VCR/TV. I can't seem to get it to work, and seem to think that the problem lies either in the encoding of DVD video or copyright protection, since I haven't been able to do it successfully.
Thanks,
Andy Golebiowski

No, it has to do with the capabilities of the system. There is no way that I am aware of (and some pretty thorough google searching has revealed nothing) to cause DVD footage to play out through a firewire port.
Has anyone else heard of a way of being able to do this?
If you "rip" your DVD video to a Quicktime format that can be brought into iMovie or Final Cut, you would be able to stream the video back out to the firewire. But using a non-linear editor as a playback mechanism is a bit weird.

Geforce 6800 Ultra - output only video to TV

I just bought a new Geforce 6800 Ultra and I'm a little confused about the settings for TV output via the s-video cable. Is it possible to have only the video I'm watching zoomed full screen on the TV? Currently I'm only able to get the desktop shown on the TV but not the video only.
I'm asking this because I used to have Matrox Parhelia 128 which had this function and I liked to watch all the DVD's and other video from my tv.
Thank you for your help!

I'm still confused about the TV-problem.
When I switch to TV mode I can watch videos from TV but when I return I have to put all the resolutions and screen adjustments back in the settings. It's really frustrating to do it every time.
Does anyone know a workaround for this?

N8 RCA output, No Video!

Hi!
I wanted to see some videos on my TV, so I tried to use a 3.5mm Jack - RCA cable I had at home.
I set the TV out option as default, left the default TV settings (Normal size, PAL code, and Unactive filter) and plugged the cable.
On a CRT TV I see a stream of blinking white stripes and no audio.
On a LCD TV I get the "no signal" message all the way, and audio works fine.
Am I doing something wrong?
(The cable is not a Nokia cable, but as far as I know those cables are all the same, isn't it?)

Okay, it was my cable architecture that was kinda stupid, trying to play a stereo song, I figured out that the 2 audio cables, were a mono sound duplicated... So my phone seeing only 2 channels thought that they were a stereo output. To be sure of that I plugged the yellow cable (the video one) in an audio input (red or white), and the output was a sound signal!
I went to a friend's to ask him to borrow me his CA-75U, and everything works fine!
I'm sorry for this nearly useless topic

How can I output audio to a different output than video?

I am using STP to do some ADR work and I am having the following issue:
Whenever I play back my material which has a 720p video track, both the audio and the video go out of my Kona LHe. I want to be able to separate the audio to go to a different hardware output from the video. Is there a way to do this?

Hi. I'm running STP 2.0.2 with 5.1 audio through an RME Fireface 400 and sending the video via HDMI from a Black Magic Intensity card to an LCD TV. If I can refer you to page 318 of the manual it states that "When you use a video output device that supports both video and audio output, Soundtrack Pro automatically routes your audio output to this device to provide the best possible synchronization of the audio and video". Therefore not a bug, but a default built into STP.
I'm sure they are correct, but cannot see why this was not added as a preference option. My solution has been to run the LCD TV as a second monitor through it's PC input, which works fine but does not give HD image. I have tried many options (All combos of available audio preferences for system and STP) without success. My next plan is to cut the HDMI cable and disable the audio if possible, but this may not work due to the nature of HDMI (System may believe the HDMI output is an audio capable video device even though audio path has been severed).

Output iTunes Video via Firewire

Anyone know if it's possible to output video via firewire from iTunes? I have some music videos in my library, and I'd like to route them through my DV deck to my television for viewing in another room.
Is there any way to accomplish this?

I'm aware only of this solution:
CTRL-Click on the file you want to put on firewire: "Show Song File"
A Finder Window will pop up.
Drag that video clip onto an application that can export via FW like iMovie HD

HT1338 FCP-X 10.1.3 will not output HDMI video through Blackmagic Intensity Pro

I can not get HDMI video output through FCP-X 10.1.3. I tested the card and I get video through it to my HDMI monitor using Blackmagic Media Express, so I know the card, monitor, and cable are in perfect working condition. I have windows>AV output selected in FCP-X, but can not get a signal through. Has anyone else experienced this? Any answers out there? I think it is a bug, and a major one at that. I really need this for color grading and to properly view my actual clips.

I guess my system just did not like Wednesday. I started it all up today and it is working like a charm, just like it should. There is no reason it did not start yesterday as I had restarted my Mac Pro several times. We shall leave it as unknown computer glitch as nothing else fits! Did nothing different, don't know, but all is fine on Thursday morning.

Output Module - Video for Windows - trouble selecting Audio Format

Good day, people.
Need help setting up AE to output .AVI with customized audio format, in my case it should be .mp3, but I would accept anything but the default uncompressed audio. (audio Output Format button is disabled when Video for Windows is selected)
Of course I can output as-is and use external tools to repack audio data, but it seems awkward. If AE can output MP3-only audio, why wouldn't it output AVI with MP3. Probably I just don't know the right set of options, but I googled to find the answer for over a month with no success.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Because it's a hack?! Even Microsoft does not officially support or endorse such combinations, it just has become common place when DivX and others introduced it, which is a whole different matter. If you get my meaning: On one end there are specs and standards, on the other end programmers that tend to get creative in the wrong ways. Anyway, the behavior you are seeing is correct. AE only supports uncompressed audio for AVI.
