Alternative to capturing 24p from dvx100a, ie capture 24p from a cheap cam

Hey all,
I have been using my dvx100a for nearly a year now to capture my footage to fcp5.1. I dont have a deck becuase I cannot afford one right now. Today, i have been logging a great deal of footage and my friend brought his sony vx2100 to log footage and we have been able to capture 24pA all day long from it.
So it got me thinking. Does anyone know of any cheap consumer model cameras that can capture 24pA instead of using the DVX100a all the time? I know my friend tried a panasonic dinky one, i think the chrome shiny one and he could not log footage. I know the sony vx2100 is quite a high end camera compared to what they sell at Best Buy but even buying a $400 consumer camera opposed to a $1600 deck that can capture the 24pA seems realistic and affordable.
Thanks all,
Tim

but the question is if any of those cameras will be able to read the pulldown flag to remove it. i am going to get that cheap camera my friend has and test it out to see what works.
thanks,
Tim

Capturing 24P from DVX100a

Hello all, a Rookie here,
I shot a feature in 24P Advanced (DVX100a). I am capturing using the advice on that "kenstone" page that shows up a lot in these threads.
Checking my footage, some of it looks a little off, timing-wise between clips. I checked the "item properties" of the clip and found that the "Format" is listed at 29.97fps. Is this correct, or should it read 23.98?
Again, my capture setting are for "DV NTSC 48 kHz Advanced (2:3:3:2) Pulldown Removal". Does "pulldown removal" in fact mean that it is capturing at 29.97?
Either way, the timeline is set at 24P, so I should be fine, I just didn't want to capture a ton of stuff and find out later that it's worthless.
I should also not that I am "Capturing Now" b/c of timecode problems.
So, I guess the question is "How am I doing?"

Cookman, you're hilarious,
So, I forgot to mention that because of timecode problems, I had to capture as an "uncontrallable device", so I should be able to set that device up to capture at 23.98 in the preferences, right? That should fix it.
Also, I am noticing that the computer is ignoring my "anamorphic" checkboxes. All my stuff is getting read as 4:3, even though I set the preferences to anamorphic. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Capturing in FCP6 from XH A1 in 24p please help

Hi, I'm using my new final cut studio 2 to copture from Canon XH A1. I shot some footage in DV SP 16:9 in 24f.
When I capture my footage it appears very blurry, many lines are washed out and it looks like a bad footage. Now, I've watched the same on TV and it was very nice. The question I have is if I'm setting my FCP and XHA1 correct for the capture. Here are the capture settings:
XHA1:
In VCR menue:
Signal Setup:
Playback STD_AUTO
Comp out_1080i/480i
AV-DV_OFF
HD Down-Donv_OFF
Letterbox_OFF
In Camera menue:
Signal setup:
Signal STD_SD16:9
Frame Rate_24F
Comp.out_1080i/480i
System Setup
DV Control_ONDV
In FCP 6.0.1
Easy set up:
Format NTSC, Rate 24.00Fps use cinema tools - 24fps from DV NTSC (I've also used format all formates, rate all rates and use DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) and I've tried custom set up)
The FCP sees the camcorder and captures the footage. However, the quality is poor as I've discribed above and also it captures ALL clips into one clip. It does not brake them into individual clips, even though I have set in user prefs "on timebrake start new clip"
Your help and advice is highly appreciated and will be highly rated.

Thank you both for replying to me.
I have tried DV payback and not auto and I've also tried 480. I also did try to capture with this camera at 1080i60 HDV and it was GREAT.
I'm gonna try all over again tonight, but one thing I've noticed is my by browser under the clip discription it shows 29.98fps. This is how FCP captured the video. I know for sure I've recoreded it at 24. I know for sure I was trying to set settinging at easy setup for 24p I don't know why it captured at 23.98.
Your thoughts are highly appreciated.
Thank you

Capture from DVX100A directly to FCP

Is there any simple way to capture directly into FCP via Firewire while videoing a performance ? I connected my camera to FCP via Firewire and started log and capture. I had also began to record on the camera as well, but then I got this message that said I had reached the end of the tape and nothing was logged. Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
OneAB

Are you asking about FCE (Express) or FCP (Pro) ? This is the FCE forum.
You should be able to capture live. Try using the DV NTSC DV Converter easy setup instead of the DV NTSC easy setup. And use Capture Now, not Capture Clip. Don't put a tape in your camcorder - just connect the FW cable from your camera to your Mac, turn on your camera and then start FCE.

Capturing footage to FCP 6.0.1 from Sony HVRZ1U HD Camera

I'm doing an HD project using a Sony HVRZ1U camera. I'm capturing footage from a Sony HDV GV-HD700 deck. I get nothing in the viewer when I go to log and capture and I cannot capture anything when I press capture because there is no video signal. I can see video on the viewer for the deck. When I change the settings on the deck from AV-DV out, I can see a stretched version in DV quality when I change the settings. I just cannot see a HDV signal to my computer. What are the correct settings for capturing this format? I've tried all the various possibilities and haven't been successful. The deck is connected to the computer via firewire to the HDV/DV iLink cable. Is this deck compatible with FCP? Is the video too much info for the computer?

When setting any Sony HDV device to output HDV you should disconnect the ilink/wirefire cable first, in the menu find Rec In/Out and set the ilink Conv to OFF for HDV. Then connect to the computer when both computer and deck are turned off.
If you have 6.0.1 then why not updated to the latest version, if you do update you will also need to update Quicktime.

AIR app crashes on iOS after returning from CameraUI photo capture

So, I've been running into this problem in one way or another for as long as we've had CameraUI access. It seems that each time another version of AIR comes out Adobe claims the problem has been fixed, and each time I find that the problem hasn't. So, here we go:
I'm running an AIR 3.4 application on a range of devices: iPod Touch (previous generation), iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, and iPad 2. All the test devices are loaded with the latest version of iOS. On every one of them, if the user takes a few photos in a row the application crashes by quietly returning to the desktop. On Android devices, the same happens when I take even a single photo. In fact, when running the application in the debugger I can see that the process terminates not when the app returns from CameraUI, but as soon as the native Camera is invoked.
This problem has been going on forever. What is the fix?

Just going on your original post about Android quitting as soon as the camera is invoked I did a quick test.
FB Test code:

All that does is continuously request to take a picture and then dump it on the display list at full size. I didn't do proper size/orientation compensation, I just sized down so I could verify it took the photo. The goal was to #1 successfully load the camera, #2 take a picture, #3 receive the data, #4 pile them up in full resolution (albeit scaled) on the display list without crashing.
My SGS3 started to get slow after 15 pictures but here's the trace:

Keep getting capture scratch folder in my capture scratch folder

In my system settings I have set capture scratch like this...MEDIA1:capture scratch. Of course MEDIA1 is one of my drives. But why am I getting a capture scratch folder in my capture scratch folder? Shane, I even carefully followed your instructions not to make the mistake of clicking the scratch folder. I just cannot fiqure this out.
Best,
Tom

thought i'd use this post to raise the whole issue of interface elements held over from bygone days ...
why, exactly, is this folder still referred to as a "scratch" folder. isn't the convention that "scratch" files are temporary? seems to me this is a remnant of old design where FCP 2 (i think) captured media to a temporary file and then moved it over ... modelled perhaps on photoshop's "scratch disk" temporary files? all sounds very temporary and makeshift. how about just a "final cut media" folder?
this is a bit irksome as final cut becomes more and more fussy about where it stores (and keeps) files.
end of today's musing.

Trouble Capturing Packets with Embedded Packet Capture

Hi All,
I am trying to capture packets originating from a server to a host device across three switches:
server -- 6513 -- 3850 -- 3550 -- host A
I am doing a ping from the server to host A. The packet capture is being done on the 3850. This is my configuration:
access-list 100 permit icmp host 192.168.101.6 host 192.168.100.188
access-list 100 permit icmp host 192.168.100.188 host 192.168.101.6
end
monitor capture buffer TRACE
monitor capture buffer TRACE filter access-list 100
monitor capture point ip cef CAP g1/1/1 both
montior capture point associate CAP TRACE
monitor capture point start CAP
I then issue a ping from the server to host A. Interface g1/1/1 is where the 6513 connects to the 3850. When I issue a show monitor capture buffer all parameters, there are no packets. If I remove the filter from the buffer I still do not see the packets.
Does anyone have any advice here?

I tried recreating the packet capture with no access-list filtering.

Capture Clip Mono vs. Capture Now Stereo

I am baffled by the difference between the audio that results from Capture Clip vs. Capture Now. When I capture a clip using Capture Clip (setting the In and Out points), the resulting clip shows the audio as mono with two individual mono tracks. When I capture with Capture Now, the resulting clip shows the audio as Stereo, with the left and right stereo tracks. I cannot understand why this happens. I have tested this using the exact same footage from the camera. Any ideas? I've looked for a setting that can change this. I would prefer that the audio is captured as stereo, since I don't want to have to manually link all my audio tracks in the timeline.

This is way odd: I did a interview using both external mic and a wireless mic. Both tracks are being displayed in the camera (Sony PD 180), but there is no way I can pick up the wireless track in my FCE- of course, is the track I need . Only track that comes up in FCE is the monotrack of the external mic - which is useless

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

STO from unrestricted to E stock from TAB item in Sales Order?

Hi all,
We have the situation where we are shipping stock intra-company via the STO Process. The requirements are being driven of a TAB item on the Sales Order, and the purchase req is being generated automatically, and being converted to STO > Delivery > Shipped then received at requesting plant.
If we leave the Dependent Requirements Indicator on MRP4 in Material Master to blank the stock is shipped from the shipping plant as Sales Order stock and received into the requesting plant as Sales Order stock. If we change the Dependent Requirements Indicator on MRP4 in material Master to '2' then it trys to ship the stock as unrestricted, and the theory is that is should be received as Sales Order stock.
Shipping as Unrestricted and receiving as Sales Order stock is exactly the scenario we are trying to achieve.
We initially ran into an issue with error message M7146. OSS Note 305582 describes this situation, and says we need to change the consumption posting on Account Assignment Catgegory M to be 'E - Accounting via Sales Order'.
So we changed this, and now when we try and create the Sales Order we get an error message kd051 Maintain a Settlement Profile. We are told by our Finance people that we cannot use the Sales Order as a cost collector as it impacts the PA reporting, so I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how we can resolve this issue.
Many Thanks.

How do you transfer photos from an android phone or from google to iPhoto??

How do you transfer photos from an android phone or from google+ to iphoto? I have been unable to transfer photos from my motorola photon. The annoyingly time-consuming work-around that I've been doing is to log into google+, access "photos from my phone" and, one-at-a-time, click and drag photos into iphoto, combine all of the individual events, and then re-date the photos with an accurate timestamp. Then, suddenly, the drag function just STOPPED from one photo to next. Has anyone had this problem? If so, has anyone been able to rectify it? Has anyone used PhotoBucket? This was just suggested to me.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, thedrew1125

Does your device use standard methods of communicating with the computer? Can you access the photos with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)? Has it got Bluetooth? Use that to transfer to the Mac... What connectivity does your device offer?

Camera images from Automation measurement system and from Labview are different

Hello,
I'm currently using a Basler camera to capture some images every time. So usually, from the Automation measurement system, I changed the camera attributes values (shutter, brightness, gain, white balance). Then, I go to the Labview VIs and input the exact same values which I got from Automation measurement system. Even though all the setting values are the same, the image I can see from the automation measurement system is completely different from what is captured from the Labview VI. I don't understand this. Could you give me any advice to solve this problem?
Thanks!

Could you upload a screen capture of the difference? It's hard to say without more info on what the camera is doing.

Is it possible to transfer Full-HD videos (from a Full-HD camcorder) from iMovie 11 to compressor 4 and create there a AVCHD DVD which can be played in HD quality at a PS/3?

Is it possible to transfer Full-HD videos (from a Full-HD camcorder) from iMovie 11 to compressor 4 and create there a AVCHD DVD which can be played in HD quality at a PS/3?

Yes.
In iMovie use SHARE/Export Movie.
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a9e5615
Choose 1920x1080 (or size of your choice.
Give it a name and location.
You can drag this file into Compressor.
In Compressor, use "Create BluRay Disk"
That should work fine.
There is another alternative, where you could skip the DVD and Compressor.
Just SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
Choose Movie to MP4
In Options, choose h.264 as the Codec.
Choose a bit rate of 16000 or less.
Create the movie.
You can then put it on a USB thumb drive and play it on the PS3.
