Can I monitor my video with FCP Express?

I have FCP HD express and a Sony HDR-HC3.
After setting up lights and white balance is there a way, I can plug my camcorder into my computer and see what I'm getting? Without actually capturing. I just want to see what I'm going to get later when I capture. Can I do this? thanks.

Ineterestng Tom:
I originally shot on auto - exposure, and it looks great on LCD and also on a TV. But on computer, quite dark. My editor bumped up exposure for computer, but he said, why not bump up the exposure a bit manually next time. His processing of the footage to bump up the exposure seemed like an annoying step we did not want to do on the next round. But I see what you are saying.

No Video with FCP HDV with QTP

I have a strange question....
I have an Intel G5 iMac (10.4.11) and I capture and edit with FCP 5.0.4 using a Sony Z1 using the HDV 1080i50 sequence (I live in Hong Kong) I edit the video and export Quicktime movie using my sequence preset HDV 1080i50.
I cannot play the exported video with QTP!!
I hear sound but there is no picture. I only have a white screen!!
I can open this video with FCP and it plays fine!!
I can then take this exported video and transfer it to my G5 dual core tower (10.4.11) and the video plays fine in QTP!
I would really like to be able to use QTP to play these videos! Both the iMac and G5 tower have the exact OSX and FCP. The only difference is one is Intel and the other is PPC! Has anyone had problems playing HDV videos on intel macs?
Any ideas or suggestion?

I've re-installed FCP Studio and the problem still persists....
any ideas?

You don't... at least not directly... you export MPEG2-DVD and then use the TWO files (audio and video) in Encore

How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad? I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
Thanks

Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
Apps:
iMovie
CinemaFXV
VideoFix
Cartoonatic
Video illusion
VidEditor
Software:
Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
VideoPad (Again. Few choices)

I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

First, you cannot do this if you have a Boot Camp partition.
Second: Create a new partition.
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Third: Install Snow Leopard.
Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD. Follow instructions for installation being sure that before you actually install Snow Leopard you have selected the new partition as your target destination.
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

How can I record a video with LAbview?

Hi,
I have a question: How can I record a video with labview?
I have a camera (AXIS 221) connected via rj45 on PC. I see the video of the camera in a browser.
And I would to acquire the video in labview.
Could someone help me?
Thanks
Raf

Unfortunately I haven't any experience with this camera. Iguess, you should install API, then crete new VI, place ActiveX container (palette Container->ActiveX) on the Front Panel, then right mouse click, then choose Insert ActiveX object..., then found you camera object and select it and press OK. Then you probably can see image from the on the front panel. Also probably you will be able to get image data in array (how easy is it - depends from the camera API).
If you able to see image from camera in the Internet Explorer, then another method - you can put Microsoft Web Browser as ActiveX object, then you should also see the image. Disadvantage of this method - you will be not able to get image data.

Hello. I have an iPad2, and iMovie software. My main problem, for the moment, is the length of the videos: I can´t create a video with more than 56 seconds. When I try, the app shuts off... Can anyone help me?

Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

Unfortunatelly, something’s not working fine on Flexplayer during the last cupple of months. A lot of updates have been released lately and the problems persist. Since iOS 6 was on the air, the problems became even worst. It’s a shame, but I think it’s time to change the app we are using. The alternative I found is 8Player, it works fine, similar to Flexplayer (but nicer interfase), and the best is that it supports “.flv” (not sure Flexplayer did). You can save your files to your hard disc using iTunes and then transfer them again to your idevice, once you’ve installed 8Player. I hope this helps. Bye bye Flexplayer!!

By default, Disk Utility has the "Add to Keychain" setting checked on.
You have to make a new image and turn this funtion off if you want to make sure the video stays private on your computer.
If you send the video to another computer, the user will have to enter the password.

No Video PB on External Monitor/DV unit with FCP PlayBack

Hello.
I just bought this Sony DVCAM unit today and I am having no luck with view External video from FCP. I have it connected with FW and had no problem with capture in FCP. I tried all settings on FCP external control and checked the Sony variables also. The Deck is a DSR-1500 record/PB DVCam unit from Sony. I never had problems with my DV Camera. I would appreciate some insight on this. I have FCP 4.5 and I have a small Video monitor connected to the Sony Video Monitor. I would rather view NTSC than computer monitor visuals.Thanks

Does the deck have an input switch? If so, set it for DV. I have the DSR-11 and it has DV/S-Video/Composite.
Otherwise:
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

How to make a Video loop with FCP Express?

Hi everybody. I need to make a lot of shorts videos with jpgs extracted from a main video. But those jpgs videos must be done as a loop that will returns and plays again forever (the videos will be placed in a web site) Is that possible, and if it is, what I need to do to obtain that loop?.
Best Regards.
Julian Laffont.

Hi Tom. It's not for my web site. Is for someone else . I don't know what to do or say. Should I make a video with the jpgs and tell them that they need to use the looping application of their web site? (I don't know if they have that application) Also Will be good to know if there is a specific format of video that loops in the web sites?. Wich one will be.QTM, WMV I don't know.
Thanks.

Monitor HD video in FCP shot on Canon 7D using prosumer HDMI monitor

Hi all,
I recently purchased two items. A 17" MacBook Pro (i7) and a Canon 7D. I would like to come up with a cheap, temporary alternative to buying a Matrox MXO mini box and PCI Express card to monitor HD video.
My question is:
Can I monitor full screen HD video from Final Cut Pro on an HDMI monitor using an Apple mini-DVI cable connected to a non-Apple DVI-HDMI cable?
The idea here is I want to keep my laptop showing the FCP layout and have the HDMI monitor showing just the video output. If this is possible what is the protocol for setting it up? I'm imagining I'm going to have to do some mirroring on in some places and mirroring off in others.
There is a minor caveat. I'll be shooting 1080P and watching it in 720P, but I really don't care. I'm not looking for broadcast quality, just a reasonable monitoring solution that allows me to watch it on something more like a normal output monitor.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hey sc,
This is actually as simple as plugging in an external monitor to your MBPro which it will recognize as a 2nd monitor; do NOT set it to mirror your desktop. In FCP, set your View > Video Playback setting to 'Digital Cinema Desktop Preview'. Your timeline will still appear on the laptop screen, but it will output full-screen video to the external monitor.
To clarify: your laptop does NOT have mini-DVI. It's a mini DisplayPort connector. You'll need the proper adapter to go out to your monitor; depending on the connections it has it's either a mDP to HDMI or mDP to DVI. In this case, I don't think it makes a difference which one you use, it just depends on what ports the monitor has.
FYI get the best monitor you can afford for this. Even if you're not looking for critical color or interlacing (which you will NOT see if you use this monitoring method) get a decent monitor. I've tried using a really cheap LCD with my Canon 7D (both for editing and during a shoot) and the image was such crap that I could barely use it to check focus...

HOW CAN YOU WATCH YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITH CC ON? THIS FRUSTRATES ME A LOT. THANKS.

So, I am kinda confused. I searched around the net and all that, and I found out that there's this thing in setting where you turn on the "closed-captioning". So I turned it on and tried watching videos in YouTube but IT didn't work. Also, I remember one time that I can use CCin YouTube. it's weird.
I remember that they said if the Cc were encoded in quicktimes you can see the CC but if it's flash you can't. So I figured it's impossible to watch YouTube videos with CC. However, if anyone knows another way to watch with CC on YouTube, tell me please. Thanks.

Sorry, but I don't know if there is a way.
Also, just to be picky....would you be kind enough to avoid using all caps in your title?
