Best ways for Capturing video using SD cards

Hi
I have a lab of Imacs and we also have mostly Canon FS200's with SD cards. I'm experimenting with different software to capture the video using both streamclip and IMovie, but find that both will cause problems. The biggest problem is that the audio is out of sync. Is there any way to use final cut Pro version 6 that will accomplish this task more efficiently? Or should I use some other program?

The manual is embedded in the application. You can access it from the help menu and open it in Preview. Save it as a separate PDF. Or you can hack the application contents and copy it from there. PDFs are much better any way as they search incredibly quickly compared to trying to search an index that spans three volumes.
I didn't realize I was replying to you X. I meant to respond to the original poster.

  • Best way for capturing HDV

    Best way for capturing HDV
    using easy setup setted to HDV1080 50i (camera is a Sony HDV HC1) captured video look like sh...
    and when exported with compressor is worst!
    some idea?

    Ok fantastic ! you are right (the frustration was talking for me)
    video is shooted in 16:9 HDV 1080 50i
    Captured video looks:
    full of orizontal lines (that look like scan lines) expecially evident on figure edges and on motion subjects
    and
    like it was resized 1440x1080i from a different lower resolution
    video is exported with compressor
    MPEG-2 3.7Mbps 2-pass 16:9
    Description: Fits up to 150 minutes of video with Dolby Digital audio at 192 Kbps or 120 minutes with AIFF audio on a DVD-5
    File Extension: m2v
    Video Encoder
    Format: M2V
    Width and Height: Automatic
    Pixel aspect ratio: default
    Crop: None
    Frame rate: (100% of source)
    Frame Controls: Automatic
    Aspect ratio: 16:9
    Field dominance: Auto detect
    Average data rate: 3.7 (Mbps)
    2 Pass VBR enabled
    Maximum data rate: 7.5 (Mbps)
    High quality
    Best motion estimation
    Closed GOP Size: 1/2 second, Structure: IBBP
    DVD Studio Pro meta-data enabled
    In these case the first problem is i can't obtain 16:9 format an the lines becomes more more evidents
    software is Final cut Studio HD
    camera is Sony HDV HC1e
    hope I wrote all the info
    Thx

  • What is the best way to store videos using Macbook Air?

    I have a Macbook Air and I don't want to store videos on the hardrive because it will fill up fast.  I have a lot of videos - for people that also take a lot of videos - what is the best way in your opinion or best place to store video? For example, on a server, on a cloud server, etc?

    Ok, so do you have a recommend brand and space capacity?
    You mentioned that one of your primary needs is to store video, which demands large capacity. As a consequence I'd suggest a drive with at least 1Tb, perhaps greater, capacity. I don't have a preferred brand or manufacturer - it's a bit like recommending which is better between Ford and Chevy - but I have a couple of Western Digital external USB drives which have proven very reliable, and a Seagate which is used as a daily backup and has worked flawlessly.
    DWB's point about backups is important too, because when you store files on any drive there is a risk of that drive failing - and indeed, all drives will fail at some point. The question is, can you live with the total loss of those files if the drive does fail? If you are storing files that you value, then a backup is needed to help protect those files. Ideally that would mean two drives, not one. One to use for the storing the files, and the second to use to back those files up.

  • Who Knows the best way to deploy video Using FMS / Apache / IIS Server running on Win XP Pro?

    Right now I do not have “server”. Example: I do not have anything like windows sever 2000, 2003 etc. but I have and running IIS server on the same Windows XP Pro. On this very same machine I installed FMS server with the Apache that came with the FMS. I have read and followed the instructions time and time again in deferent ways to deploy my video on the server but no idea I used is working so my clients could view my videos. Looking forward to have site like “hulu” / "You Tube".
    Pleaseif you was successful streaming videos, I need step by step information from anyone whom was able to streaming videos to the public on the internet with Flash / Apache / IIS Server running on Windows XP Pro.

    Hello World,
    This issue has been taken care of! Thanks to all that read my message and wish they could help. It was all but a simple mistake that created the problem. For all that may think they themselves has the same problem please check your spellings at times that could be a serious issue! It was all because I missed an alphabet of “s” the word was “Thumbs” but I spelled it “Thumb” missing “s” for this simple reason the Thumbnails refuse to populate in the Tilelist. But soon this was corrected, both images populated in the tilelist. For the videos I have to make correction in ActionScript from playlist-streaming to playlist and the video was on. Now you know you too could try looking into your designs and ideas!
    Thanks.
    Jos.

  • Which is the best way for creating video placeholders in AE?

    I should create some video placeholder for AE animation, but I am not sure which is the best approach to do that.
    I found some tutorials on the web where is explained how to create basic placeholders in AE, but I want to do something better.
    Could I create some placeholder even in Photoshop? And after that to import this psd files into AE.
    I saw some intersting placeholders on Videohive but I don't know how to create something similar?
    Any help?
    Regards!

    Any layer may be replaced with new footage by simply selecting the layer you want to replace in the composition, then selecting the new footage in the project panel, then holding down the Alt/Option key and dragging the new footage to the composition.
    If you want to automate the process of replacing footage you'll have to use a script.
    If you want to use a project as a template then simply copy the template file in it's folder and paste it into a folder that contains the same structure as the template. IOW, the folders should look like this:
    Template Project
         >template.aep
         >Footage
    New project
         >copiedtemplate.aep
         >Footage
    Your footage has to have the same filename as the original template project.
    You can also save an AE project as a template (aet) project. That's what they are doing on siges like Video Hive. The template isn't easily overwritten so it maintains the work. Then you simply add your footage using the first technique that I talked about.

  • Best lens for indoor video using a EOS 7D

    I want to do interviews using my 7D. I purchased an EF 50mm lens but it seems that I can't get far enough away from my subject/s to get tehm completely in the frame. After sepperating the subject from the background the maximum distance I can get away from them is about 12 foot. I know that my 7D is a cropped frame camera so therefore it increases the mm, is there a chart that I could use to determine the right lens to use?
    Thanks in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Howard just try a 17-40mm f4 L. You will love it on the 7D.

  • What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

    What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

    Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
    Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
    Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

  • Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC

    Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC. I would appreciate any help with this.

    Thanks for the quick help. I do have to leave for work. When I try to
    download the images from the camera they seem to only be in jpeg (I don't
    see any rw2 or raw files to download). If I select the jpeg file it seems
    to only download a jpeg file. I do understand that I do have the option to
    open the jpeg in RAW. In doing this, is all the extra information included
    in the RAW file there or is it lost coming from the camera
    Once again thank you for trying to make me understand how this works.
    Have a great day.

  • Using LabView version 6.1, Best way to capture data every 5 milliseconds

    Best way to capture data every 5 ms (milli-seconds) in the .vi diagram when using "Time between Points, and Small Loop Delay tools"

    I have no idea what "Time between Points, and Small Loop Delay tools" is. If this is some code you downloaded, you should provide a linke to it. And, if you want to acquire analog data every 5 milliseconds from a DAQ board, that is possible with just about every DAQ board and is not related to the version of LabVIEW. You simply have to set the sample rate of the DAQ board to 200 samples/sec. If it's digital data, then there will be a problem getting consistent 5 msec data.

    Her own ID.  You cannot transfer purchases between IDs so anything bought on your account will require your authorization should she need to download in the future.
