Advice on using long captures

Here is what I do on a routine basis for a friend of mine that races cars. We race all weekend running 2 or 3 races, practice runs and qualifying. His in car system records the footage onto tapes: 1 tape per race and then qual and practice on a tape. I then capture all the raw footage and get to work. One of things I do is cut out caution laps, mark key moments such as a spin or a key pass to make it more enjoyable when watching the DVD later or posting to web. In addition I use iDVD and setup chapters and titles and then burn 8 or 10 DVDs for the weekend. Anyway, I have been using iMovie but really struggled locating the key points b/c there is no timeline. I have FCE now and started watching tutorials to help me make the transition.
Any advice on how best to use FCE to achieve my desired result of a DVD with titles (races/practice/qual) and chapters (key moments)?
Thanks in advance

Assuming this is a recent iMovie, just import the footage into FCE. It would be better if you could capture in FCE as it captures in a different format. The iMovie audio will need rendering in FCE. I;m assuming this material is being captured as DV NTSC.
In FCE break sections down by making them subclips. Use bins to organize the media. Edit your material. Add the chapter markers to the FCE timeline when you're done. Export to QuickTime Movie with chapter markers. Take that iDVD and make your chapter menu as before.
It'll take me a while to download the Road America video, but I'm looking forward to it.

How to use long capture filter with Network Monitor 3.4 command line

I want to exclude all traffic from a list of subnets in my capture. This makes for a rather long and complex filter. Is there any option on the command line to refer to a file describing this filter or can one only use the /capture "my extremely long
filter" command? So, I would have to make the entire thing into one line?

I suppose if it's longer than 2048 or 4096, there will be a command line length limitation. Maybe there's a way to work around it with a environment variable, but I think there will always be a limit. Perhaps there's an easier way to right your
filter? Can you use something like the subnet example in the library to shorten the filter.
Also, do you think your filter will affect capturing speed. The more complex the filter, the longer it takes to evaluate each incoming message. That means we have to buffer, and if the firehose is too much, we don't catch all the water :)
If the UI can keep up, then it shouldn't be a problem, but some firehoses are bigger than others. Plus, there driver filters which can filter faster for NMCap.
Moving forward, Message Analyzer (http://blogs.technet.com/blogs), is the replacement for Network Monitor, which can do the same most of the same kinds of capabilities, but using powershell. I think you'd
have more flexibility with variable lengths there. Plus you can script fancy things.

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.

If Apple has not received your phone, obviously it can't even be evaluated for warranty purposes. Have you tried calling AppleCare to verify whether they have received the phone or not?

Why can I no longer capture DV clips?

I can no longer capture DV clips that are useable. Is it a wrong setting or maybe bad hardware?
I'm logging and capturing clips as DV anamorphic (downconverted by my deck from HDV), and when I play back the captured clip, the image in the viewer isn't moving (at least not very much; a series of freeze frames, really). When I expand the browser window, I notice that the data transfer rate for the clip is only around 300 k/sec, whereas previously capture DV clips weigh in at 3.6 MB/sec. I know 300 k/sec is around the rate for RT Offline clips - but there is no evidence that the offending clips are RT Offlined. I've spent ten hours in the program and in the manual, trying to figure out how to correct this.
I also opened the captured clips in QuickTime, and then used "Movie Inspector" to determine that the clips as captured are bad; in other words, it's not just a playback problem. A healthy DV clip reads out at 30.31 mbits/sec; my bad clips are reading 2304 kbits/sec, or 2805 kbits/sec, etc. The FPS for the problem clips read 0.81, 1.20, etc., whereas the healthy DV clips read, of course, 29.97.
Oh, here are some other peculiarities: it takes longer than usual to complete the capture -- 10 seconds or so past the end timecode reading. And it always gives me the warning that there was broken time code in the sequence. And, it appears that audio track 2 is out of sync -- a several seconds later than audio track 1.
And recently, there's variation to the problem, where the first couple of seconds of the captured clip are a series of quick freeze frames; then, the rest of the clip is entirely black, with only the audio apparent.
I'm beginning to think it may be a hardware issue. It's not the deck, or the firewire cable, or the firewire port. I've switch them all out with the same result. I've trashed FCPro preferences and then reset them, with no improvement. I even reformatted by drive, re-installed the OS, and installed a different version of FCPRO. Same results
Any ideas?

Sorry for any inconvenience; I'm new to the discussion process. And sorry for the delay in responding; I've been away and unable to follow through.
I'm still having the same problem.
I've tried two decks: Sony HDV HVR-M25U in downconvert mode; JVC BR-DV600U. Plus, I've tried my camera, Sony Z1U, also in downconvert mode.
The only other devices on the firewire bus are firewire hard drives -- essential to the operation.
I've tried Mac OSX 10.4.6 and Mac OSX 10.4.10. I've tried FCPRO versions 5 and 6.
It did not stop working after any updates or change in software.
I reset the capture to Easy Preset for DV with no success.
I didn't trash the preferences; but I did erase the disc and completely re-install the software -- twice.
My G5 does do one other strange thing. If I have the computer "sleep" mode activated, and the computer goes to sleep -- I can't wake it up for a couple of hours. I think that's a heat-related thing; this is the G5 that has 7 fans (or is it 9?). And I hear you can't start G5s if the sensors decide one of the processors is over-heated. If I shut off the computer, the same thing happens; I have to wait a couple of hours. My present workaround is that I just leave the computer on all day (deactivate the "sleep" option), and it seems to work fine -- unless this capture problem is somehow related.
I'm going to try to capture DV footage using iMovie -- once I get my hands on a version that works with Tiger. This might indicate whether this problem is software-or-hardware based. I'll update this message thread once I've been able to do this test.
Thanks for any further thoughts you might have!

After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not

After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not on DVD player. Tech support for the VCD said my HP DVD burning software has to burn "DVD Video and not DVD data" and to check with HP. How can i check myself.

Grahamster, welcome to the forum.
I recommend trying CDBurnerXP for burning video CD's. I have been using it for years without a glitch. I use it mainly for burning ISO's, but have used it for all types. Please let us know if it works or not.

How do scan strip negatives via my Epson 4990 scanner using Image Capture since upgrade to OS X Mavericks

Hello Everyone. OK I upgraded to OS X Mavericks without thinking that by doing this would stop me using my Epson 4990 scanner as no driver / software currently available - OK my fault. Anyway as Epson have not yet provided an update (yet?), all advice being recieved is use "Image Capture" for the time being. I have tried this along with using the "Help" files but unfortunately dont seem to be be any assistance. In simples terms I just wish to scan film negative strips (and transparencies) but it dont seem to be possible. Could any member advised how to get solve this problem as I am in the middle of a major scanning exercise with the worst case senario that I wil have to revert to my Windows based laptop to carry on and temporary reduntant my iMac which defeats the point of the exercise. Thank you in advance (hopefully)

Replay I received from Epson today:-
"In response to your email, we unfortunately do not have any update available for your model at present. We have no confirmed date for this but as far as we are aware this is likely to be in the next two weeks"

Where can I upgrade to use DV capture?

If your program is Premiere Elements 13 which no longer has the DV HDV Capture firewire, you can get a suggested Adobe workaround for the 13 situation.

HT4505 can you scan 4x6 photos using Image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo. I have to crop the photo once it is scanned

Can you scan multiple 4x6 photos using image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo? I seem to have to crop each photo once it is scanned.

How long is a string?
The answer depends on a large number of variables
Cropping removes the area cropped off so the pixel size of a cropped photos is smaller than an upcropped one
With iPhoto you can always revert ot the original so if the new quality is not enough for your use you can go back to the uncropped original
size - many meanings
DPI - simple - Dots Per Inch - the number of dots (pixels) in a dimension divided by the number of inches of the display(print) - very simple math
Pixels and dots are the same for this discussion
so if a photo is shot in a 3:2 ratio (6x4 is also a 3:2 ratio) then the photo is the shape of a 4x6 photo with no cropping - is a photo shot in a 4:3 ratio is cropped to a 4:6 ratio (which is also a 3:2 ratio) then some information is going to be removed - assuming that you set the cropping frame as large as possible in one direction and only crop two sides then you lose the minimum amount of information
Most iPhoto uses of photos are designed aroung 4:3 photos so in general I would only recommend cropping 4:3 photos if you want to print them in standard print sizes
iPhoto slide shows will work best with 4:3 photos so cropping to 4:6 would be a mistake

Using Image Capture with Epson NX420 in 10.5.8

I have not gotten around to updating my computer to Snow Leopard. My computer usually have two users with fast user switch. Usually the other user tend to have Photoshop open, so I can't use Photoshop(stupid licensing issue even though it is on th SAME computer!) in my account when I need to scan something. So I use Image Capture. I just bought new printer, Epson NX420 using Wifi.
I can't seem to get Image Capture to use the scanner wirelessly unless I use Epson's own Scan softare. I am pretty partial to the Image Capture cuz it's alot faster.
Anyway, my point is is there a way that I can get Image Capture to work with the NX420 on 10.5.8 without spending more money?

I was having this same problem, too. My MacBook Pro w/ Lion could no longer communicate with my Epson Stylus NX420, which seemed to happen randomly as the printer was working fine before.
I finally searched for the solution and found it! After downloading and installing the latest drivers on my Mac, it is now able to communicate with the printer and prints just fine.
Hope this helps.

Transferring Videos/Pictures Using Image Capture

I'm using Image Capture to transfer my iphone pics and vids to my desktop. Recently, the transfer has corrupted the files and caused some sort of flickering in the videos and a similar effect on the pics. I no longer have the originals. Is there a way to correct these files? I've attached some samples.

Yes! Indeed, I have that very same D50 (lovely isn't it?) and I just happenned to have taken already some pictures with it, from the computer.
Once it's pluggeg, go in Applications> Image Capture.
From there, you will either be able to download all the picture from the D50, or take new shots.
You can even share the camera (and it's pictures) online, so someone can even take picture with it (through a webpage). You could even try this yourself, play around in Image Capture and with it's share features, and somewhere it will give you the adress (internal ip adress) so suposely someone from your network (including your own computer) could go, check, and take pictures.
I've tried the web interface from my computer, but couldn't make it work with another one from my LAN. Have to work around this.
But in Image Capture, first make sure the D50 is selected (Devices>[pick it]) and then there is what you are looking for in the upper bar of the window.
Have fun!

Audio sync problem on long captures

I have an XL1 and have noticed that on some of my captures that are rather long - I have a sync problem with the audio and video as you get deeper into the video.
I have chopped up this capture by limiting it to 10 min max lengths.
Any other way around this?
Thanks!
Tim

The most common cause of sync problems is due to mis-matched audio sampling rates between the captured clip and your FCP Sequence settings (typically 48hz, 6 bit stereo). Check to make sure they match exactly.
Also, it can make a difference HOW you capture; are you logging the clips then batch capturing after? Or just using Capture Now? Capture Now has been known to be problematic in this area, especially when Canon cameras are used as a capture device. Since Canon has a rather loose implementation of the Firewire standard, set Device Control in FCP to "Firewire Basic" and use Log & Capture instead of Capture Now.
As an alternative, use something other than a Canon device for capturing purposes.

After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external back-up? Following Apple advice for use of Migration Assistant did not work creating similar issues leading to clean install.

After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external hard drive?
Following Apple advice I used Migration Assistant which crashed new system twice which is why I had to clean install Lion in the first place.
Is there a sure way of doing it?
I have only a few programs that I will have to install myself and that should not be a problem.
I just want my data, music and photos back where I can use them.

Time machine backups. I went to migration assistant a few hours ago and limited my selection to "users", no need for applications, settings and other files. Stuff started moving over at a fast pace but has now seemed to stall.
I will let it run overnight as there are lots of songs and photos as well as a few movies.
If that does not work, then I will go into TM and try restore. I have restored some things in the past such a mail files and it has worked well.
The Apple fellow at the store told me to go right into TM, he may have had a point. I'll get it eventually.
