Can't adjust video levels in capture tool

I'm using a Blackmagic Multibridge Pro as my I/O but when I try to digitize, the video input levels are hot. i want to adjust them in the capture tool but it's grayed out. I'm capturing from a Beta SP deck with a component signal. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

page 243 in the FCP6 manual states that "video levels can only be adjusted for analog video interfaces" it says nothing else. i'd rather adjust the levels from the source anyway whatever medium I am working in anyway. you might else well stick with that.

Adjust video levels on .m2v?

I've searched through the forums and can't seem to find a solution to my problem, so I apologize in advance if someone has already answered it somewhere on here... Is there any way (in QuickTime, DVDSP, or Compressor) that I can adjust brightness, contrast, saturation levels of an existing .m2v file? I need this as a "quick fix" over the weekend at home, as I don't have access to the original QuickTime file from Media 100, as it is at my office. I already have experience with the problem of my final DVD project ending up looking too washed-out....this is my 2nd encoding from Compressor for this project (I already adjusted the levels in Compressor, it just wasn't enough). The client feels the video still looks too washed out, so I wanted to try to fix it here at home over the weekend in DVDSP, QuickTime Pro, etc. (I have those installed on my G5 at home). So, after all that babbling, can I use one of those programs to adjust the levels at home without re-encoding, or do I have to wait until I get back to the office? Any assistance on this would be GREATLY appreciated!
On a side note, I would guess it's time to invest in BitVice? I understand it's encoding results in a much nicer looking file with less of the "washed-out" issues. I'm not at all happy with the results I get from Compressor.....I miss encoding mpeg2 files in QuickTime Pro! (The images seemed to come out a lot nicer).
Thanks for your time in this...
2.5 G5 DP Mac OS X (10.4)

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, my footage is Beta SP that's coming out of a Media 100 system, not DV via Firewire. I export "by reference" from the Media 100 and bring the clip into Compressor. It is a known problem that the Media 100 exports end up washed out when they come out of Compressor, and that's why I adjust the brightness/contrast levels initially in Compressor before encoding.
I just need a possible "quick fix" that I can do at home on the .m2v file, as I don't have access to the original export from Media 100 until I get back to the office next week.
Thanks for the link though, I'll read through the article anyway. Maybe I'll find something that will apply for future reference.

Can i adjust pressure sensitivity options for tools other then paint brush?

Greetings all, i'm new to Photoshop elements and this forum, could someone help me with this problem please!!!!!!
Is there a way to adjust the pressure sensitve options opacity, scatter, hue jitter e.t.c for tools other then the paint brush such as the dodge and burn tool?
I'm wanting to use the dodge and burn tools with say a chalk brush but set the pressure sensitivity of my tablet to opacity, i can do this for the paint brush by using the tablet options drop down menu but the option doesn't seem to be avaiable for tools such as the eraser, dodge and burn and smudge tools.
I've tryed the brushes from the Pressure Sensitive set but there is no chalk brush in the Pressure Sensitive brush set that effects opacity and you can't adjust what settings are effected for each pressure sensitive brush when using tools other then the Paint Brush.
Can anyone help me with this as i've tryed everything i can think of.

I guess the easiest way would be to select the paint brush tool
and using the brush of your choice, set those options you want
and save the brush.
Then when you select a tool such as the burn tool, select your brush.
The one option that won't apply is the hue jitter (you can't use hue jitter or
color dynamics in the full version of photoshop either for most other tools
aside from the brush tool)

Can't adjust recording level with M-Audio Fast Track Pro

I downloaded the appropriate driver for my M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface & everything looks fine... BUT I can't adjust the Recording level at all. I am not sure if this is an issue with the M-audio device, or garage band??? It is driving me crazy, since I just want to make some music and can't even hear what is being recorded. ???

Thanks, .... Yes to all of the above. I am wracking my brain & will call M-Audio tomorrow. Everything looks perfect on the interface & on garage band - but, even though the Fast track Pro shows up in my sound preferences & I can select it as the input & output source, etc., when I go to its window, even hooked up, it says no "device is not connected." Then it details that there are "no input controls" under sound in system preferences. I have two working usb cords & it does the same on either. I think this is the problem & have no idea how to fix it. I just want to plug it all in and record & have lost So much time . Hmmmmm???

Can't adjust Clip Settings during capture

Hi,
I am capturing Betacam SP footage into FCP 5, using Decklink SP. I have both Video and Audio and checked in the Clip Settings, within Log and Capture. However, it won't let me adjust the values for the waveform (the Hue, etc sliders) and moving the audio gain slider has no effect.
Coming in from an analog source, I need to adjust my video scopes and raise the audio, however I'm locked out from adjusting anything.
Any idea why this is?

No, the device control is set to Decklink's own system.
I can capture and shuttle the deck, but I have no control over adjusting levels. Which is sort of a hassle.

HT5517 How can I adjust sound level when streaming radio from my Apple TV through Airplay speakers?

I have a 2nd Gen Apple TV with an airport express set up as airplay speakers. I can stream the new radio through using the Airplay speakers pretty well. The problem is that once I've got it going, I cannot adjust the sound level without laboriously backing out of the radio menu, going back to the top level menu then drilling down into the Airplay settings to raise or lower the speaker's sound level.
Is there an easier way to do this?

go to system preferences > Sound > Output. then change the output from "built-in" to HDMI.

Greyscale image, can't adjust contrast/levels.

A very recent problem - I have some greyscale scanned images - nothing fancy, batch-scanned via document feeder at 600 dpi - and my problem is this: I try to adjust contrast or levels, I see the effect I want in the image as I do so, but when I dismiss the contrast/levels dialogue, the change doesn't 'stick'.
I can delete parts of an image, paint-bucket for example works fine, I can save. I expect it's something obvious :(
OS X 10.3.9, Photoshop CS2. Memory is 1.25Gb (yes, I'm a lightweight ;) )

No. What I'm saying is they are
i like
bitmap mode, in that scanned grayscale images of line or halftone pics tend to have very little gray information. It's made mostly of black or white pixels. So Level or Curves adjustments have little effect. In addition, you will get a FALSE preview on any Level/Curves adjustments on these types of images when viewed at less than 100%. Just as you describe.
Same thing would happen if you took a detailed 1-bit file and converted to grayscale. The Levels/Curves adjustments would be available. A preview at less than 100% might show that Levels are lightening or darkening. But when you commit the command, the adjustment seems to disappear! That is because you only have 0 or 255 pixels, you can't lighten white and you can't darken black and there are no pixels in-between to affect.

How can I adjust video from two cameras that are out of sync?

Hi - I've just recorded someone speaking on two cameras with the intention of cutting clips in from the second camera while using the video and soundtrack from the main camera, however the two video files are out of sync by half a second or so by the end. How can I 'stretch' the shorter clip so they coincide properly? Thanks, David.

David
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Typically, select the clip,
as you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once. Each tap = 1 frame nudge.
as you hold down the Shift+Alt keys of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once. Each tap = 5 frames nudge.
If you are working with audio editing, consider Edit Menu/Project Settings/General with Audio Display Format = Milliseconds.
Please let us know if any of the above worked for you.
Thank you.

Can't adjust input level when using usb microphone

Hey guys,
I'm very familiar with this version of Garageband, and just started using a Blue Snowball USB mic. When I plug it in and set the drivers accordingly, the input volume slider is greyed out, making it inaccessible. Is there a trick to being able to adjust input volume?

Option Click on the Volume slider icon in the menu bar and choose Sound Preferences. Choose the interface and you should be able to see the input level.

Adjust video playback brightness on-the-fly...?

I've just moved over from a 5G iPod to an iPhone, and had a question about a certain aspect of video playback...
I watch a lot of video on my iPod (now iPhone), and I'm a stickler for saving my battery life, so I always turn the screen brightness right down to its lowest viewable point when watching video.
I also watch video in bed, with the lights off, so turning the brightness right down still makes the videos perfectly viewable.
Sometime though, of course, I have to turn the brightness up for scenarios where I'm in a brighter environment.
The way to do this on the 5G iPod is, at any time when watching a video, hit the centre button twice (once takes you to the scrubber) and then scroll left or right for dimmer or brighter. Easy. Job done. And you can see the results right there and then, so you can adjust it to just right.
Now unless I'm mistaken, there's no similar way of doing this on the iPhone, and that you can NOT adjust video brightness on the fly...
The only way to adjust brightness is, while watching a video, to go to Home > Settings > Brightness > Drag it > Home > iPod > Video.
Surely everyone can see that's a MUCH more laborious way of doing things!?
Even then, you can't be sure you got the brightness setting adjusted correctly, because a bright vivid animation, like The Simpsons, is much more visible and clear on a low brightness setting than, say, TV shows of Magnum P.I. with their 80's "converted-from-video" feel.
And believe me, I know, because those 2 examples are real-world scenarios for me.
And before anyone says it, yes I DO know about the "Auto-Brightness" setting, but I've tried it, and 9 times out of 10 it's too dim for my liking in a brightly-lit room (especially on the Magnum P.I.'s) and it's too bright in bed with the lights off (especially on the Simpsons)!
So I suppose if I'm making this post a question, it would be:
Is there no method of changing video playback brightness on-the-fly, while the video is still playing on-screen?

Brett,
You've been around on these forums long enough to understand what is and isn't allowed by the TOA, so I'm fairly sure you know (I don't know but could make a guess as well).
In general this whole thread could be deleted... except that you asked a question at the very end of your first post (which was answered). That's all these forums are for, asking and getting questions answered. Editorial comments, rants and raves are not what we are here for.

How can I transfer video from iMovie 2.0 on iOS7 to my PC without using the share tool?

I'm trying to get a large video (~7.5GB) from iMovie to transfer to my PC for editing. Being that I am using a 16GB iPhone 5s, this seems to be impossible with the share tool (the square with an up arrow coming out of it) because iMovie wants to duplicate the video to either the camera roll or some other medium which won't fit on my device. Is there any way (hack or otherwise) that I can get my video safely to the computer?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Kurt,
The Mac IIci is not even powering on at all. Tried again with wih a tested power cable and no luck.
I think it's best that take this issue to the Older Hardware Community. Not only did I see a fair number of replacement parts for the IIci avaiable online, but there also vintage external floppy drives as well. I'm not giving up.
Thank you for your time and interest in helping.
