Live video feed from camera and other PC

My Mac Pro is being shipped as we speak. I'm new to this, and not up with all the lingo so please bear with me. I'm hoping you all can help me figure out what I'm trying to accomplish:
I currently VJ (Video Jockey) with certain software on a PC and send that video mix out (DVI or VGA) to a Plasma TV. I just bought a Canon A1 camera and a Mac Pro w/FCP studio. How can I mix the live video feed of the Canon with the video feed from PC (preferably in HD)?
I also want to be able to record and edit the footage from the Canon later.
I was told by the guys at the Apple store that I could do this using FCP multicam. Is that true? I read a couple posts on here that say FCP is just editing software and can't do live feed. Then what is the purpose of multicam? Please help. Thanks-
mac pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core

The Apple people probably didn't understand that you wanted a live mix. FCP can't help you there.
MultiCam is an FCP feature "post-switching" multicamera recordings for that live-to-tape look. It is fairly complex, and especially with only two "cameras" you would be muchn better to start off editing them on the timeline.
As for a live switch you need a video switcher. Outside the realm of FCP, but http://bhphoptovideo.com is a great place to do research.
Then if you're really serious you can record both feeds plus optionally the live switched output for further manipulation in FCP or elsewhere.

Using FCP for live video feed

Hi,
I'm currently shooting with the new HVX200 Panasonic camera. We're using a small, 7" hand-held HD monitor to use for focus-pulling, but I'd like to be able to use a computer monitor or laptop for a live video feed. (director's monitor)
We've considered using the component-out to go into a Component-VGA adapter for a computer monitor, but I'm wondering if we can do a direct feed using FireWire into FCP or something.
Anyone have any experience doing a computer-monitor setup for use with these kinds of cameras?
Thanks for the help!

Everything Mac OS X (10.4.6)

hey there RI,
if you've tried something similar on your iMac & had no problems it's reasonable to think/believe it will work on your MBP, w/ this caveat: the 400 & 800 ports are actually on the same buss, so the 800 port will handle it's data at the lower(400) rate if there is a device on each port. shouldn't affect any editing w/ the drive once the cam is removed from the MBP. it should the run @ the higher rate.
good luck.

Is it possible to record a live video feed online ? PLEASE ... ASAP !!

There is a Live video feed today marking Carroll Shelby's wake. I will be away from computer but would VERY MUCH like to view it at a later time. How can I do this ? I have a MacBook, and a MacMini, both of which are running latest OS.
Thank you !

there are apps out there that can do this... I found this

Can iMac receive a live video feed

Is iMac capable of receiving a live video feed? Hoping to use a live HDMI feed from a video switcher, but iMac doesn't have an HDMI "in".
Any ideas?
Thanks, Russ

You'll need one of these devices to input video/HMDI into the Mac.

A simple adapter won't work.

Is there a way to use Illustrator to draw over a live video feed coming from my microscope?

Hi, we use illustrator to draw (trace) over static images of mite specimens taken under a microscope. Although this works, it would be much better to be able to draw directly from the live video feed coming from my microscope. The specimens are dead, so they are not moving around, however, we need to focus down through the specimen in order to see all details. We normally take montage images, but because the specimens are clear there are many artifacts present and we frequently have to consult the specimen under the microscope to double check things. My students and I have hundreds of drawings to complete and are looking for a way to streamline the process. If we could avoid making montage images and draw direct from the video feed, it would revolutionize the way we approach our research. Is there a way to display the video feed and then overlay Illustrator so that we can directly trace over the image (we use a Wacom tablet, but that shouldn't make a difference) so we can focus at different levels and draw the entire organism?
Thanks for your help
Ashley

Maybe it's possible to have live video in Illustrator, but you would most certainly need to write your own plugin.
So this community would be suitable:

Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro

I need help figureing out Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro. I use 15 or 30 fps and aI cant figurwe it out [please help

What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

Insert live video feed in Keynote

Hello,
How could I insert a live video feed in a running Keynote presentation ?
Source could be webcam, iPhone video output, etc.
I'd like to keep the background of the Keynote presentation while the live video plays on top.
Thx for your help.
Benoit

Here's how I got it working today (slight modifications to Unami's guide):
1) Install Quartz Composer (it comes with the XCode Developement Utilities on your OSX installation disc)
*2) Download the KinemeCore ( http://kineme.net/files/release/KinemeCore/KinemeCore-0.5.1bInstaller.pkg.zip ) and install.
3) Open Quartz Composer and create a blank composition.
*4) Click on the KinemaCore menu in the top menu (between Window and Help) and select KinemaCore Preferences. Click on the Unsafe Mode tab. For each of the required applications on the left, check "Safe" for Video Input on the right. (I checked Video Input as "Safe" for every application, just in case.)
5) Open the Patch Library, then add a "Video Input" and a "Billboard" patch
( To select another than the default video input device, select the Video Input patch, open the Patch Inspector and change the input device in the Settings tab )
6) Connect the "Image" output of the Video Input Patch to the "Image" input of the "Billboard" Patch (click and drag from the white dot next to "Image")
7) Save this composition and close Quartz Composer
8) Now, open Keynote and drag the .qtz file you just saved into your presentation
For some reason, Keynote will occasionally not allow me to drag/drop the .qtz file into its window. Closing that window and starting a new document fixes this.
Hope that helps.

Live video feed using Flex/Flash

Hi,
I have a question if someone doesn't mind giving me a "yes"
or "no" answer, please.
My developers have created a program for me that lets me
broadcast my LIVE web cam feed right on my web site in real time so
I can provide customer support and allow me to engage with web site
visitors. We are using Flash, Flex, and Adobe AIR.
The broadcast window size is 320 x 240 pixels. The problem is
the frame rate. I am only able to broadcast between 5 - 9 frames
per second whereas other people have been able to broadcast at
around 14 FPS.
Question: is it possible to use these applications
(Flash/Flex/Adobe AIR) to stream live video at 320 X 240 at frame
rates at least 24 or higher?
Thanks in advance for an answer. I don't expect a solution.
Just a yes or no from some experience(d) developer(s).
All the best.
Rodney

Lucas,
Here's what I do for multi-camera live shoots:
1. Connect all cameras to a switcher/DVE (looped through preview monitors) - I use a Panasonic WJ-MX50 or Sony DFS-300 Since you have five cameras, you'll obviously need a switcher with more inputs, or gang two of the above together. You'll need a switcher capable of the signal output your cameras offer, ie: composite, Y/C, component, triax .. whatever.
2a. Output of switcher goes to DVCam VTR.
2b. Audio is fed through a mixer and output to the VTR.
3. Firewire out from the VTR to the Mac/FCP.
4. In FCP, choose "Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now.
5. Use one of the analog outputs from the VTR to feed the projector(s) and the another analog output to a program monitor for the TD.
I always run safety tapes in each camera while the VTR is recording a switched master tape in case there's a problem with the capture in FCP (it can happen).
I also equip each cam-op with a 8" or 9" monitor, typically using the camera's composite output. And everyone is able to communicate using a Clear-Com system.
In 5 years, doing several shows per year, the capture in FCP has only failed three times and all of those times were when I was using a laptop. Whenever I've used my old G4 tower, capturing to one of the internal drives, its worked flawlessly each time. Fortunately, having a Master DVCam tape saved the day. The camera safety tapes are used just in case of a bad switch by the TD (usually me).

PS I should add that if you're feeding multiple projectors, you'll need a simple DA.

Website comes up fine, but I'm unable to receive live video feed.

The target website comes up just as it has for the last two years or so, and I can login and be accepted by the software. However none of the live streaming video from any of the cameras on the site is received. Instead I have only a white 4X4 square where the video feed normally shows.

See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

Live Video Feed

Is there a way to connect a camera to your mac to run live video without using firewire? Is it possible to use an S-video connection to a video card? I want to be able to move away from my mac and firewire doesn't give the distance I need. S-video cable can be up to 150 feet. I have a small program called Video Viewer for live video. It works well.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks

You can go to 150 feet with firewire. I think the limit is 300 feet. You just need to buy a cable with an amp in it.... Just do a Google search and read.

Workflow for Live Video Feed to External Hard Drive?

My goal is to eliminate the "import from tape playback" step when filming a video blog for a medical client. Would this workflow work?
Sony DSR-PD170 video camera "live feed" Firewire output to
MacBookPro Firewire400 port input to
iMovie project capture output via Firewire 800 port to
LaCie 500GB d2 Quadra Hard Drive FireWire800 port
In other words, is the MacBook Pro capable of simultaneously importing through the Firewire 400 port and exporting to the Firewire 800 port? I've done something similar with the two Firewire 400 ports on my iMac, a DV tape deck, and a Lacie Firewire external hard drive.
Thanks for your feedback!

Live Video encoder for Mac. Does it exist?

Looking to d a live video stream. Would like to use Vp6 I do not think Adobe had a Flash video encoder for the mac.
As always, thanks for your time and help.

There is no Airscan :-)
but you can scan wirelessly on any your OS compatible network scanner of MFP printer with a scanner.
This has to be connected to your network either via WiFi or Eth cable.
