What is the best way to capture off of an AVCHD Camera in final cut?

Im kinda new to final cut pro so, please don't flame me. I was hoping to capture some extra footage on to my system through my AVCHD camcorder. And i want to know the best way to do so? Thanks for the answers.

I was not successful using mpegstreamclip for this. However, I found VoltaicHD from ShedWorx and it works great. Simply load all the clips you want to convert, assign a location and walk away. The result is beautiful HD .movs ready to be imported into FCP. I paid about $35 for it and it was well worth it.

  • What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time?

    What is the best way to switch off Daylight Saving Time for a DST enabled timezone?

    I've been looking through the related classes and can't seem to find a way to disable DST in any timezone. Probably because they couldn't think of a good reason to want to know what the non-DST time was during DST.
    However, you could easily compute the time without DST if that's what you need.

    The class java.util.Date is not itself deprecated, however several of its methods are.
    For converting string -> date, you should use the class java.text.SimpleDateFormat. That allows you to specify format strings such as MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm:ss for converting date -> string -> date.
    If you are wanting to set day/month/year on the date object directly, instead of the Date methods setDay, setMonth, setYear, you should instead use the java.util.Calender class:
    calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, 4);
    The calendar can then be converted to a Date object by calling calendar.getTime().
    If you are going to use the date as part of a sql query, I would recommend using a Prepared statement, and the java.sql.Date/java.sql.Timestamp class as well.
    To convert from java.util.Date to java.sql.Date)
    jva.util.Date utilDate = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
    java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(utilDate.getTime());cheers,

  • What's the best way to pull off this guitar trick?

    I have a funky wah-wah guitar riff (about 5 seconds in length)and would like to have part of the riff play on the left speaker and the second half play on the right speaker—kind of flow between the two speakers organically. The riff was originally recorded in mono.
    What would be the best way to accomplish this effect? Automation and pan the signal in real time? Or double the recording on two different tracks and the cut it up and pan so one half plays on the each speaker for half of the time? Any other ideas or tricks?
    Basically, I’m just trying to get it to sound as “natural” as possible, if this makes any sense. I’m just curious how you guys would pull this off. Thanks for any tips.

    hi
    personally i'd do what you suggest: automate the pan of the gtr region/track.
    i'd either use one of my midi controller knobs - assign it to pan and then do it in realtime... or just draw in the pan automation and play around with the nodes of the automation and smooth them out with the curve tool...
    you could also use something like the stereo spread plugin and the tremolo and automate the later (depends on the rate of panning you want and the effect)
    or use a pan plugin....i think destroyfx had one - but i can't find it now - something like autopan....which you can sync to the bpm.
    hope that helps

  • What is the best way to capture the Form data Temporarly

    Hi,
    I have a form with lot of validations.
    Suppose user entered some of the fields and he decided to fill rest of the field later on.
    So he now want to save the record temporarly without applying any validation and next time when user logs in, the form should be populated with those invalid data and then he continues to fill up the rest of the fields, now once he SUBMIT the page..all the business validations should apply and record is commited.
    What is the best approach to acheive this??
    Have any one has the done this kind of requirement.
    Thanks,
    Deepak

    This is a little more complex as well because you'll need to save this data in a "temporary" table. Not temporary like global temporary, but just a staging table that has no constraints. In a real application, your table would not have NOT NULL constraints, but your user may not use them.
    Along with the previous post, you may need to follow this logic:
    1) If the save as draft button is clicked, you save to the table with no constraints.
    2) When someone tries to navigate to the form, you first check the "draft" table and if there is a record there, pull it. Otherwise pull from your production table.
    3) When the person clicks the commit/submit/etc button, save the data back to your "draft" table, copy the information over to the production table, and delete the temporary record.
    It's a lot of coordination honestly - my client asked for the same thing and when I explained the complexity involved for a form that only had 5 or 6 fields, they agreed. And when I say complex, I tell them it will cost them more money, yet provide little benefit. That usually solves it quickly.

  • What is the best way to capture CUCM configurations?

    Rather than clicking though the drop down menus in CUCM, what is the most efficient way to capture a complete configuration settings in CUCM?  I know some of the settings can be done using BAT, but what about other settings like Enterprise Parameters, DHCP server/subnet, etc.?  If the captured configurations are in human readable format will be even better.

  • HTML form Date field - what's the best way to capture it on the backend?

    Hi,
    What would be a good way to capture a text field that contains a date string?
    In my app I have a page with several text fields, that are populated by a calendar pop-up. On the server side I can capture them into a java.util.Date object, but Date is dperecated.
    Should I still use Date or is there a better way?
    I intend to use the date as part of an SQL query.
    Thanks.

  • What is the best way to capture exceptions raised by BPEL process?

    We have a BPEL process that calls an EBusiness Suite public pl/sql API. (For ex. setting and releasing holds on a Sales Order). And the API provides out parameters that will contain sql errors raised if any. What should I do to capture this error and show it on BAM? Or is there a better way of exposing this message to a particular user?

    Why couldn't you take the output and test if there are results and then use a switch statement to detemine what to do with these results.

  • What is the best way to capture RGB8 image to memory for later write to disk?

    HI-
    I have been using the code below for some time now but wonder if an expert can take a look and let me kown if there are ways to improve it.  Problem I run into is that I preallocate the memory beforehand (camera.buffering[]), and with a 5 MP camera, this takes up a lot of RAM.  It seems like when I am running this program in debug mode all day and constantly start/stop it without allowing it to free the memory gracefully, i eventually bog the system and start getting Out of Memory error -12, in other places in my code such as DisplayBitmap or GetBitmapfrom File.  Is this all related to how much memory I am trying to allocate prior to begining the camera capture routine below?  Am I not allocating and free-ing it properly?
    Code is below for how I grab the image and then send to memory usign memcpy.  Is there a better, more efficient or faster method?  I have removed error checking/etc from code below simply to save space. This operates at 15 fps.   
    I also included my allocation and free-ing code, too. 
    Thanks in advance.
    Blue
    //caemra capture loop//
    camera.dxerror = IMAQdxGrab (camera.session, camera.image, 1, &camera.bufNum);          
    stat = imaqRotate2 (rotateimage, camera.image, camera.rotate_image, pixval, IMAQ_BILINEAR, TRUE);    
    stat = imaqScale (scaledimage, rotateimage, 4, 4, IMAQ_SCALE_SMALLER,IMAQ_NO_RECT);          
    stat = imaqGetImageInfo(camera.image,&camera.info);
    stat = imaqDisplayImage (scaledimage, 0, FALSE);         
    memcpy (camera.buffering[camera.count], camera.info.imageStart, camera.info.pixelsPerLine*camera.CAMY*camera.bytesperpixel);   
    //memory allocation code//
     camera.buffering = (int **)malloc(camera.maxcount*sizeof(int*));
     for(i=0;i<camera.maxcount;i++)
          camera.buffering[i] = (int *)malloc(camera.info.pixelsPerLine*camera.CAMY*camera.bytesperpixel); 
    // free allocated memory code//
     for(x=0;x<camera.maxcount;x++)
             free(camera.buffering[x]);
    free(camera.buffering);

    How many images are you storing in RAM?  Typically when I need to work with tens, hundreds, or even thousands of images, I save them to the hard drive after I capture them as a PNG with 1000 quality.  Sometimes I process them before saving, sometimes I process them offline from the saved images depending on the application.  If you don't need all of the images simultaneously in memory at once, just save them to PNG.  If you only process one image at a time, only allocate enough memory for the processing you need to perform on a single image.

  • What is the best way to leave the mini for the night?

    What is the best way to switch off the ipod mini when I have finished with it?
    My usual way to finish is to press the pause button then press the hold button. Is this safe?
    I have heard that holding the pause/play button does a similar thing.
    Any input is greatfully received.
    Thanks.

    I do the same thing. Press and hold pause until it sleeps and then switch hold on so I don't wake it up by accident. If you gasp don't use it for a couple of days it will go into deep sleep, and when you wake it up it will show the apple symbol... I think it is essentially rebooting.
    I'm pretty sure the iPod normally just goes to sleep, rather than shuts down. This uses a little more power, but makes it faster when you go to use it (rather than waiting for it to boot up... like when you leave it for a few days). I think it's a reasonable compromise... give up a little battery life for that instant sweet tune gratification! And if you don't use it... it shuts down to preserve your battery. Smart pod!
    Anyway, don't worry about it, what you are doing is perfectly safe for your iPod.

  • What's the best way to share my Aperture and FCPX projects between an iMac and MacBook Pro?

    Greetings,
    I own both an iMac and MacBook Pro and I'm interested in figuring out the best way to have access to my iTunes, Aperture and Final Cut Pro X files not only when I'm at home using the iMac, but when I'm out and about with the MBP.
    I'm sure there are others among us who require a similar setup so I was hoping you guys could share with me how you solved this little problem, and also inform me of any potential negatives for your method so that I'm well prepared. Thanks.

    Best is a subjective term, as it will ultimately come down to preference. The fastest however, would be to wait until they market has a few thunderbolt drives available for purchase...
    But like the first poster stated, a firewire 800 drive, would be the more convenient choice for now. Or you could set the shared folder on your iMac to be avaible on your network and use it to allow your MBP to access it wirelessly.
    Obviously whatever you change, just save it back to the same folder on the iMac. Keep in mind it will not be as fast as the first suggestion (unless it is a wired network), but may be usefull for smaller files.
    However, you should have everthing backed up via an external drive, that is always useful...

  • What is the best way to safeguard my files and pictures before I send off my MacBook Pro to get fixed?

    What is the best way to safeguard my files and pictures before I send off my MacBook Pro to get fixed? I am running Mavericks and use an AirPort Time Machine to back-up all my files.

    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. You need at least two independent backups to be completely safe. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore to an empty drive.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • I want to sell my old macbook air, what is the best way to get my files and programs off of it?

    I am going to sell my macbook air (2011) as I am replacing it with a macbook pro retina. I want to remove my files and programs from it before I sell it. What is the best way to go about this?

    1) Perform a Time Machine or Cloned image backup of your system.
    2) Test the Clone tomake sure it works, by booting to it (using the option key).
    3) Boot to the Recovery Partition, then perform an erasure, followed by a reinstallation of the OS.
    4) Shut off the Mac, after instllation and before the reboot. This will permit the next user to experience a "fresh out of the box" experience.
    5) Use the Time Machine or Cloned image to migrate your apps, users & files to your new system, using SETUP ASSISTANT. Do not use Migration Assistant.
