7D Weird vibrating and blurry focus on video

Recently I noticed that during playback of some video I shot on my Canon 7D, there were portions where the camera could be heard rattling and vibrating which resulted in blurry video all the while the sound could be heard in the video. Then shortly the video looked and sounded normal. I checked all the video for that day and all the clips have the same issue. I have barely used the camera and am thinking that I'm probably doing something wrong. Camera was in MF mode in a cage with a follow focus ring apparatus. Any ideas anyone?

David,
My problem exactly. My external iSight knocks the built-in dead in the dirt. Apparently my up/down speeds are OK, so seems like I need to visit an Apple store and see what theirs' look like. I still think it could be memory, especially since my image degraded so much between a two person chat and a three preson chat.
I would like to hear from some other folks that have a new imac with built in that are loving it, cause I sure do think something is wrong with mine.
Good luck with your Moms' machine.
John

    I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

    Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
    The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.
    Take your time, study and use the > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions if you get stuck or aren't sure how to make the move.

  • Why are my exported videos in Premiere Pro pixilated and blurry?

    I'm recording game footage with Dxtory (settings below), and once I export the video and uploaded it to YouTube, it's pixilated and blurry.
    In the link there are 2 images, the one on the left is a screenshot of a pixilated part of the video, and the one on the right is a non-pixilated portion within the same video.

    I used Imgur because Adobe's image uploader reduces the size to 450x605
    I have a GTX 780, but I'm not using the 'CUDA' setting under project settings, so I'd assume the Graphics Card doesn't matter.
    Thanks for the responses, and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

    I recorded and uploaded in 29.97 fps, but for sake of argument, I've rerecorded a 30 second clip in 30 fps recorded, and uploaded in 30 fps.
    Here's the link: http://youtu.be/jyZKvCTrOsU
    The render settings were mostly matched by source, with the following:
    1920x1080 resolution
    30 fps
    field order: progressive
    aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
    TV Standard: NTSC
    Profile: Main
    Level: 4.1
    I then used VBR, 1 pass with 30 Mbps for target and maximum bitrate.
    Sadly, the issue persists. I am completly lost as to what this issue is, and am unsure why I'm getting the issue, but other YouTubers don't (when uploading game footage).

  • My phone will not vibrate and has no sound to it. Therefore I can't listen to music or videos.

  • When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

    When using Final Cut Express, the video in the Viewer window looks fine, but when I insert the video into the Canvas Timeline it appears to lose resolution, and look fuzzy and blurry. Are there preferences or settings for the Timeline that cause this?

    Thanks David. I had to convert the mts file to Quick Time (using AunSoft Conversion software) before I could import it into Final Cut Express. And I made sure I kept the size of movie (720 X 480 with letterbox) to compliment what I set my Panaconic AVCCAM video recorder at (720/60). Even after I fully render it, it still looks fuzzy in the Canvas window at the right that plays what I have editing down in the Timeline. A friend that edits some using Final Cut Pro helped me to narrow things down to this problem. This is also wierd. If my Viewer window at the left is set to 200% to get the person's head the same size in the Canvas window at the right we needed to put it to 400%. Does this make any sense. We think we need to control the Time line resolution somehow but cannot find any options from my manual, or the help, or in the various drop down menus. Do you have any clue? What is going on?

  • Weird noises, vibration and battery?

    Okay, so I've just recently noticed that when I tilt my Macbook Air OS X, version 10.9.4, (schoolcomputer) doesn't quite work as usually.
    First off, my usbports doesn't work - none of them. This happened like a week ago, and i've never used all of them, just one.
    And then tonight when I tilted my mac to the sides there was weird noises sounding, like when you shake your keys.
    After that my whole mac started vibrating, and it still hasn't stopped.
    And my battery was at 4%, but then suddenly changed to 8%
    oh yeah and also, it gave me an electric shock earlier yesterday, but it was only one and nothing happened afterwards, so I just shook it off.
    Is it broken or what's happening?

    You should make an appointment with an Apple Genius, bringing both the computer and power adapter with you, and discuss your options.

  • Pictures lose quality and audio in a video clip starts to clip after render

    I enjoy doing various random small projects with final cut studio, but there are a few problems I am still having in doing so. One is I record a local basketball league's games and make highlight videos out of them. Another is I like to convert dvds into files and make favorite quote montages or edit movies to have clean versions for the kids. I do not have professional equipment, yet. Final Cut was the first step I chose to take to upgrade. So I'm sure most of the stuff I use is not the greatest choice, but I'm just trying to get the best out of what I have. And when I have problems that I know are bad, I need to find out how to fix them.
    Problem with basketball highlights:
    I am not sure which is the best format to convert the video to in Final Cut that would make it work the best. Also a problem importing pictures.
    The camera I use to record is a Sony Handycam Exmor HDR-XR100. I am confused about importing in Final Cut so I usually import through imovie, which saves the files as .mov and then I go to the finder and put them in Final Cut. Clicking on more info shows me a 20 minute clip (of basketball in this case) is 14.29gb, quicktime movie, 1440 X 1080 dimensions, apple intermediate codec, integer (little endian), timecode, channel count: 2, total bit rate: 102, 385. When I record with the camera I usually turn off the button 'easy mode', which shows on the screen a better quality image going from HD to HDHQ and 5.1 surround sound. Sometimes the render times are ridiculously long for small files and the quality decreases or what not so I was just wondering if there is a good extension to use or format that would be better for use in final cut. Obviously some extensions don't work in final cut, but the most familiar I've used are .mov and .avi (though I don't use avi anymore because I've been told it's not the greatest idea)
    Another recent problem I'm having is with pictures in these highlight videos. When I record basketball, I like to record and show everyone their stats along with the video at the end of each game. So I create an excel document with all the teams and numbers and then save it as a .pdf file or picture to load into final cut and add to the video at the end of each game highlights. A similar thing happens though, when I load it in the browser from there the quality is great in the viewer. As soon as I load it in the timeline, the quality drops drastically and I can't even read the numbers in the viewer or canvas. When I took a final cut training class I remember hearing something about a button that makes final cut work faster by reducing the quality of the media it's displaying, but doesn't affect the output. I was wondering if maybe there is a simple button that I have set wrong and maybe that is the reason this is happening, or maybe I just am making it a bad choice of extension again I don't know.
    Problem with video files not recorded by me:
    Other times I don't record from my own camera say if I want to make a movie montage of all my favorite movie lines/quotes. I would like to edit movies as well to make them clean for my kids to watch. In any case, I convert the dvd to a file on my computer, usually multiple extensions and just use the one that works and also has the best quality, and then load it to final cut. (Is there a program in Final Cut Studio that would be better for this? Right now I use iSkysoft Media Converter to convert these files). As soon as I load it to the timeline and render it, the audio skips like a hiccup throughout the movie. This is when I notice the skipping is only really audible in the audio when music starts to play. I thought that was kind of weird. I can't pick it up as much when there is just dialogue, but when a song comes on or a scene begins with music it makes the entire audio sound bad.
    So maybe the problem isn't what extension the file is and I need to look at more details such as dimensions I'm guessing. If you have any examples I would appreciate it. I am sorry I am so difficult haha.
    Thanks again for all you're input and help. What goes around comes around and I really try to do the best I can in everything I undertake. I really appreciate it.

    I called it "making a montage of my favorite movie clips." It is what it is. Just how I said it. I do stand up impressions part time and sometimes, believe it or not i get recorded, or I record myself and "make a montage of all my favorite movie clips" or scenes from a movie or anything for that matter. So as illegal as that is I apologize that you want to monitor that stuff.
    So lets step out of our assumptive sheriff shoes and stop hazardly guessing at anything that you would disprove of. Everyone else has been very helpful. Besides, all these questions centralize around a basketball highlight video I am making for a coach, that I myself recorded and own the copyright to, to be specific and hopefully clarify your hunch.
    As a video editor you also often receive footage with numerous formats depending on who you're working with. Not everything is an illegal transaction that you assume it to be. Thanks

  • Just got a 5C, is it normal that when you transition from Siri to calling someone that the symbols along the top or screen go all feint and blurry?

    Just got a 5C, is it normal that when you transition from Siri to calling someone that the symbols along the top or screen go all feint and blurry?

    I have one it works fine. yeah, the Mac instructions aren't great. Try this.
    (1) make sure you have your VCR audio and video outputs connected to the side with the two selection switches.
    (2) be sure you know the difference between the audio and video outputs no matter which colors you use.
    (3) make sure the indicator light is green on cable that connects to your computers firewire port.
    (4) when you operate the vcr through Imovie. you will only be able to play your vhs tape. so to fast forward or reverse. you must use your vcr remote or your hand.
    (5) to import your footage just click on import in imovie.
    That should solve your problem. Also, in the future put these questions in the imovie forum.
    P.s. if this is helps you give me a vote or two. LOL
    anymore questions email me

  • Weird vibration tingly feeling on my 15" MBPr

    Hello All,
    I've spent years reading here on these posts for advice but I don't think I ever actually posted a question myself... but I am having such an odd problem I figured I'd see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing:
    I have a brand new Macbook Pro Retina 15" running Mountain Lion. I got the top of the line one (maxed out ram, processor, SSD etc).
    I noticed that when I turn it on for the first 15 minutes or so that it is running, when I rest my hands softly as I'm typing or run my fingers over the aluminum -- I get this weird vibration tingly feeling on my fingertips and hands. It is definetely coming from the computer and is not just something I'm imagining. I know this because I had several people test it to see if it happens to them too. I noticed that if I use the laptop for an extended amount of time (an hour or so) it will happen every 15-20 minutes or so and it last for a few mintues.
    I tried to research this phenomenon but can only seem to find people who have a vibration while it is plugged into the outlet. I get this weird vibration whether or not the laptop is connected to an electrical source.
    Anyone else experience such a thing? I find it weird since I have an SSD and no DVD drive, so technically I don't have any "moving parts" or spinning parts that would cause vibration. I'm wondering if it is the fans in the laptop? Also my laptop does get unusually hot.
    Any advice or experience or links to other discussions about this is much appreciated.
    ps -- anyone else have "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch stuck in their head now?!
    -Asept

    Hello Asept and others.   I have been complaining about the vibration issue for a number of years now.  I had never had a vibration problem where I used to live but it started a year-ish into living in this apartment.  In 2011 my harddrive blew out and I always thought it was from the vibration.  Bought a new MacBook Pro, top of line and it still vibrates especially when the battery is 100%.  I tend to charge the computer and use it unplugged.
    I've had electricians to check the grounding, changed the power bar and got a new apple power cord.  To no avail.
    True, I'm still using a two prong that came with the computer.  I live in a 240 country but bought this latest here.  Apple here doesn't see a problem.
    In fact, working at the problem when it is plugged in  is giving me  burning/tingling in my feet. That may be something else but it's worse when at the plugged in computer.
    My landlord suggests getting a UPS.   Any thoughts on that? 
    The vibration is on the back of the screen/ld as well as beside the track pad and keyboard. 
    Oh, also, if I want to back up I have to plug in my external, do back up and unplug.  Can't keep it plugged in.  And my new Thunderbolt screen also vibrates on top when plugged in.
    Should I try another electrician?  UPS? 
    I'm happy to hear that it's not just me.

  • Since last week indesign deletes 2 links AND the data (flv video and mp3), frustrated

    hallo everyone
    since last week indesign deletes 2 links and the data ... when it deletes i cant find it anywhere ...its just gone! cant understand it ...
    i tryed to relink  i tryed to delete the link and linked the same video with the same name and with another name ... i tryed to get it
    work on mac and windows ... always same issue
    where is the problem?!
    first it worked ...i published the site via html ...then i got to change things and suddenly crash ...
    before this happened indesign took the link, showed it on the swf file but NOT in the html or ftp server ?!
    hope to get some help 

    Hmm... Ok, so I took that project and tried importing it to a new project, still with no luck. Then I tried taking that project and creating a new timeline by dragging one of the stills to the new item icon so that I'd get whatever PrPro decided was the best timeline, and still no luck. Then I tried creating a new project and importing different footage and it worked. Tells me perhaps there's something wrong with the stills? I know not to use overly-large stills in a project, but they're all around 4k resolution or smaller... so surely that's not too big, right? 412 stills total 1.5GB which means an average of about 2.5 MB per file... certainly not too big. I even had a couple video clips in the timeline that were shot with a point-and-shoot still camera, and I tried taking those out just in case it was something in those, and still no success.
    So, ultimately this project got exported without CUDA, and I'm okay... but I also am wondering what caused the problem? I do a fair amount with stills (not a lot, but enough) and I need it to work... do I just go on with life, assuming that it was some weird fluke? Or do I try a complete wipe and reinstall of OS and Programs?
    Oh, one other tidbit... whenever PrPro crashed and closed, the application itself wouldn't close. I have to go into the program manager and force quit it...
    Thoughts? Recommendations?

  • Apple TV and Sony Bravia, Slight video distortion when streaming local video

    I have a 3rd Generation Apple TV and a Sony Bravia TV
    When I am strwaming movies from iTunes, it appears it is skipping frames every few seconds. I have it hooked up through a Sony ES receiever, and i have by passed it to go directly to the TV. Below is all the troubleshooting i have done:
    - Changed the HDMI cable
    - Plugged it in directly to the TV
    - I have tried 2 Different TV's in the house (Video Streaming is fine on both TVs)
    - Tested the video on 2 macs and window media center, videos play fine
    - Moved the Airport Extreame and internet connection next to the unit
    - streamed from Both my macs and the WMC PC.
    - tried connecting either net to Airport extreame with the Mac
    - Streamed a movie trailer and it looked fine.
    - Changed the resolution of the apple tv from 1080P to 720P
    - Played movies from the PS3 and DVD play, no problems with the picture on the TV
    - Power cycled EVERYTHING!
    I have over 400 movies on my media server, and none of them acted like this on my 1st generation Apple TV i just sold.
    The weird part is that it only happens to the movies i am streaming on this specific TV. I know the TV is good, the moveis are fine. And the connection between the device and the system hosting the movies is fine..
    Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

    Make sure its compatible
    H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

  • Misty screen and blurry camera ?

    Okay so my new iPhone 4S I got for Christmas     was working fine until yesterday when the   screen looks like it has a misty effect on it. It's really weird. And also because of the misty effect the back camera has gone all blurry. I have cleaned it many of times but it is still blurry the front face camera works perfectly. I have dropped it once or left it in the shower . I just turned it of over night and in the morning when I turned it on it looked like it had a effect ??  when there is a icon this is a outline of lines from the icon the the edge of the screen. Lucky I have a ipad so I can use this instead  what should I do to get it fixed ??!!!❓❓❗️❗️

    Hi Elschapmanx,
    I'm sorry to hear your iPhone 4S is not working great as it should.  I have done a bit of research, and I would like to suggest you to do a backup of all your data (e.g. contacts, calendars, email, etc.) using iTunes and then perform a fresh installation of the iOS.
    It might sound a bit drastic, but it is better to make sure this issue is not associated to a software failure, so if after the clean installation and before restoring your personal data the problem persists we can see what we can do.
    Cheers,
    Miguel

  • I hve tried 4.0 My cursor is vibrating, and previously, I could type av URL. If I already hat it nin my Bookmarks, it would com on auto. This is not ther case with 4.0 I am back with 3.6.

    Yesterday I downloaded 4.0. Multirow Bookmarks dissapeared. Pity.
    With 3.6 I could type a URL, and if I alrerady had it in Bookmarks, it would appear automaticly. This is not the case with 4.0. Pity. My cursor vibrated, and videoes would make my PC to freeze. One hit at Ctrl, would unfreeze. Pity.
    Is Bill Gates working at your lab? Pity.

    If you are still willing to give Firefox 4 a try then try these suggestions.

    You may have to disable hardware acceleration to stop the vibrating
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Once and for all: is video/audio chat from Mac to PC using MSN possible?

    I've read all the posts, and all the jabber guides, and Mercury stuff, and it all seems like a huge hassle. I have a friend overseas who uses MSN (like EVERYONE overseas). he has a pc (again, like everyone overseas since Macs are 2x as expensive over there) with a webcam. I have AIM, MSN, and Yahoo accounts. I run Adium, and I can text with him but no vid or audio options are there. so, simply put, why is this so darn difficult? I suppose if we both had skype, that would be one solution. here are my questions:
    - why is there no audio or video in adium? (if there's a post on their site that I should have read, forgive me)
    - why doesn't MSN messenger for the Mac support audio and video?
    - does jabber really allow AV chat using the MSN protocol? (once the 15 or so setup steps are completed)?
    - is there, or will there be, a simple solution to this?
    I have many, many friends both in the US and overseas, and all my friends overseas have PCs and MSN and webcams, and I have a very advanced MacBook, and I can't communicate with them the way I should be able to.
    thanks! and I apologize if any of this has been covered in other posts, but I wanted to get it all down in one place.

    Hi
    i would say use Skype http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/macosx/
    aMSN and Mercury only do video no audio, these are the only 2 progams that do video on the MSN network.
