Capture and Editing multiple shots simultaneously

Hello I know that I can capture multiple clips with BlackMagic DeckLink Quad. I can also edit multiple clips in Premiere with Multi-cam sequence. But is it possible, capture and cutting simultaneously?
Thanks

Yes... on two different systems running two licensed copies of Premiere.
Is that really true?
Most NLEs have issues with editing a file that isn't presented to them as closed, even if captured in a seperate instance of the same application.
EVS are hooked up with Adobe now to emulate their FCP workflow, whereby edit while capture is possible. (They also do this with Avid), but that isn't a cheap option, unless you have EVS servers knocking around ;-)
Gallery.co.uk have their PictureReady software, which would possibly work with CS6 (it presents a QT Ref file to the app that then 'fills in' as capture progresses).
ToolsOnAir offer some solutions in this regard, as do Telestream with Pipeline.
MOG also offered an edit while capture solution for Avid, that might work with CS6.
You'll likely be out there doing the alpha research of whatever you try out (other than the EVS stuff, which I'm sure has quite a bit of testing going on behind it - not sure it can replace all the EVS <--> FCP7 functionality yet though).
You'll also need some decent shared storage to be able to write and read simultaneously.
Having reread the question - the Blackmagic app should be able to do the capturing for you, rather than a seperate PPro instance, but I don't believe it will do the 'filling in' of a QT ref that would enable edit while capture. Still be good to be able to capture in the background and do 'stop/start' to close files so they can be edited with.
Also possible that you could use duplicated inputs on the BM Quad to do 'rolling edits' (i.e. so you don't miss anything when you break record).
Good luck if you try it...

I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine. The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart. I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky. I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe. My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.

Mega simple video capture and edit program. Cross platform.

Looking for a mega simple video capture and edit program. Am overseeing a bunch of small groups where we want each person in the group's story told. Some groups will have Macs, some PCs, some iPads, iphones, etc. So needs to be cross platform.
Really, the simpler, the better. Like targeting 5 year olds

Is there any software anyone recommends - Sorenson?
I am capturing regular dv from minidv.

Dvx100 24pa captured and edited at 29.97

Hi there,
I'm trying to rework an old project where i mistakenly captured and edited 24pa footage from a dvx100b at 29.97.
is it possible to perform a reverse telecine with cinema tools to remove the pulldown from a finished edit on a 29.97 timeline? if so, what settings should i use?
i normally remove pulldown on capture with 24pa footage, and edit in a 23.98 timeline, but this project is from before i knew better, and mistakenly worked in 29.97, and am now suffering from interlacing problems/duplicate frames.
any advice would be appreciated. i am trying to avoid recapturing and re-editing.
thanks for your help in advance

thanks guys...
these are both possible solutions that i didn't think of.
the situation with this piece is it is one long source clip, chopped down into 100+ short clips, with a lot of precise cuts, but unfortunately no respect for pulldown cadence.
using cinema tools, i have performed reverse telecine which seems to remove the pulldown for clips that have the right timing, and unfortunately, not for those that are off.
i should probally just re-edit, but this is the sort of project you really only want to do once.
i guess i'm hoping for an easy fix, and that probally doesn't exist.
i still have the digitized footage and the sequence (29.97). is it possible to somehow remove the pulldown of the source footage, and rework the timeline accordingly?
thanks again.

Need advice ensuring my 25p is captured and edited properly.

Hi all. New to Final Cut and just got a DVX100BEN (PAL) and want to know what I have to setup to capture and edit 25p with Final Cut.
My train of thought here is that I can just use a standard DV PAL setup as the DVX100b stored 25p in a 50i stream. So my questions are:
1) Can I just use standard, interlaced DV PAL for capture?
2) Can I just use standard, interlaced DV PAL for the timeline or do I have to set it up as progressive some how?
3) When rendering, say to DVD can I just render using Compresser to DVD PAL as normal and all is good?
Also, viewer seems to deinterlace it's display so I was wondering if there is a way to get it to just show the rawm image, as it's already progressive from the DVX?
Cheers
Aaron Koolen

Well, noone offered me an answer, no matter where I looked, but after some searching I'm pretty certain that you just use the DV PAL template, keep everything interlaced and render out as DV PAL.
I say this because I found a post somewhere by Graeme Natress that pretty much said this.
So, personally, I'm happy with it. Now if you were wanting to render as a true progressive movie then you'd have to do something to tell your renderer to NOT deinterlace the footage.

Why don't iMovie support native HDV capture and editing?

i would like to see iMovie HD 6 to support native HDV capture and edit. is it possible?

no, FCE-HD (what an abreviation!) uses the same trick as iM-HD, converting HiDef into AIC....
native HD is really more for the pros... yet! I think, the basic problem to be solved first is -r media, meaning, any HD/blue-ray-DVD-r disks, which make it possible for the average user to store his/her products.... but as far as I follow the discussion, right now the industry is caring more for commercial disks, and that HDMI "problem" (broadcasting can include a copyprotection, so no use of any HD/DVD HiDef recorders...!)... finally, we can record only our selfmade movies... maybe that's a little less joy...
actually, converting finished HDmovies into h264 with a high bitrate and storing that onto hd is the only realistic option........

Capturing and editing on my primary drive?

I have two-500GB drives in my new Macpro, and I do not see how I could ever fill up the drive with the OS and applications installed (seems kind of a waste). I have read that it is not recommended to capture and edit video on the drive that contains the os and applications, and it should be done on a secondary drive.
1. What specifically is the problem with capturing and editing video on the primary drive?
2. Will partitioning the drive with the OS and applications installed, and capturing to the separate partition make a difference?
Thank you.

1. OSX creates a great deal of disk activity. Not only is the disk trying to feed the OS and the application commands, it also hosts the System Cache where RAM overflow goes to live until needed.
Adding the demands of REAL TIME media spooling (read/write) to this really busy disk can overwhelm it - leading to dropped frames etc.
2. Partitioning does not solve it. It is still one physical disk and subject to all the same demands as spelled out in #1 above. Partitioning may make some sense in organizing material but it will do nothing for system performance. Indeed, there is some evidence it will reduce realtime performance.
If you need more drive space, for fastest performance, get a PCI based esata card and add a series of external sata devices. FW800 drives will work quite well as well - especially for DV, HDV and uncompressed SD.
good luck.

What for a live event capture and edition ?

Hi there,
What software is best for a live event capture and edition ? (for an instant public feedback) a one with the ability to be controlled by a 2-octave midi keyboard.
Can FCP do that ? even partly ?
The idea is to be able to do the same then tv shows (live cuts and effect layers)
thanks,
Ionel

FCP is a professional non-linear editing application ... not a live event playback device.
If you need a very fast turnaround editing facility you can look at FCP coupled with something like Picture Ready from Gallery, you can download a demo to test
if you're looking at doing a 2 camera live cut/switch then you can consider a dual decklink I/O solution and On-Air 2.0

Capturing video from multiple devices simultaneously using QTKit

       I have three cameras in my iMac，one is iSight(FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in)，the other two are USB Camera。And my System version is Mac OS X 10.7.3 (11D2001)，SDKs：Mac OS X 10.7 (11E52)
       My QTKit Capture application uses multiple cameras to capture video with a frame size of 640x480 @ 30 fps simultaneously， but I've found I can only capture with one or two cameras at the same time and it is dependent on different USB port。 Is this a known limitation?

Fallowing is what I have done：
_captureDevices = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:
                       [QTCaptureDevice inputDevicesWithMediaType:QTMediaTypeVideo]];
    _captureDeviceCount = _captureDevices.count;
    NSLog(@"Find video devices :%d" ,_captureDeviceCount);
    _CaptureSessions = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:_captureDeviceCount];
    _captureDeviceInputs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:_captureDeviceCount];
    _captureDecompressedVideoOutput =[[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:_captureDeviceCount];
    _CaptureMovieFileOutputs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:_captureDeviceCount];
// Create the capture session
    for (int i = 0; i < _captureDeviceCount; i++)
        [_CaptureSessions addObject:[[QTCaptureSession alloc] init]];
        [_CaptureMovieFileOutputs addObject:[[QTCaptureMovieFileOutput alloc] init]];
         [_captureDecompressedVideoOutput addObject:[[QTCaptureDecompressedVideoOutput alloc] init]];
for (int idex = 0; idex < _captureDeviceCount; idex++)
// Connect inputs and outputs to the session
      BOOL success = NO;
      NSError *error;
// Find a video device
    QTCaptureDevice *tempCaptureDevice = (QTCaptureDevice*)[_captureDevices objectAtIndex:idex];
    char tempDeviceNameUniqueID[1024] = "";
    char tempCaptureDeviceName[1024] = "";
    [[tempCaptureDevice localizedDisplayName]
     getCString:tempCaptureDeviceName maxLength:1024
     encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    if (error != Nil)
        NSLog(@"CaptureDevice open:&error!");
    if (!success)
        tempCaptureDevice = nil;
        // Handle error
    if (tempCaptureDevice)
       //Add the video device to the session as a device input
                    [_captureDeviceInputs addObject:[[QTCaptureDeviceInput alloc] initWithDevice:tempCaptureDevice]];

        success = [ [_CaptureSessions objectAtIndex:idex] addOutput: [_captureDecompressedVideoOutput objectAtIndex:idex] error:&error];
        if (!success)
            // Handle error
            NSLog(@" Handle error");
        int _frameWidth = 640;
        int _frameHeight = 480;
        int _frameRate = 30;
        [ [_captureDecompressedVideoOutput objectAtIndex:idex]
         setMinimumVideoFrameInterval:(NSTimeInterval)1/(float)_frameRate];
        NSDictionary* captureDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:

Insert and edit screen shots in RH

I am using RoboHelp HTML 6 to write a help document which
requires lot of images.
I am reluctant about the imaging part as I really don't know
what would be the best way to insert the images in RH. I have these
options - Using Word or Paint of then RH screen Capture and Resize
tools.
I am quite use to of using Word because prior to using RH I
was using Word for writing the document and this is how I was
working with the screenshots in the Word document:
I would take the screen shot of Web application, save it in
the Paint as jpeg file, insert the jpeg file in Word and further
more add an arrow and a text box on that screen shot in Word and
make it as a group for easy to move. There are times; I would also
resize the screen shot in Word by selecting the screen shot and
dragging the image resize handle, located at the lower-right
corner.
Please, can anybody who deals with lots of images in RH can
guide me.

Hi SangyD
Have you looked at the Tools tab at the bottom of the left
side of RoboHelp HTML? If not, you will probably be pleasantly
surprised to see that RoboScreenCapture (RSC) has a home there. RSC
offers all of what you are looking for at a VERY attractive price.
It's included at no extra charge!
Cheers... Rick

Is it possible to edit multiple songs simultaneously in iTunes?

Does anybody know if it is possible to edit multiple songs in a single pass (by right clicking on all of them and then opening a single edit window or so?). I would like to be able to, for example, change the Genre of 50 songs from Electronica/Dance to Drum 'N Bass without having to do it 50 times over individually for each of the songs.

I've done this before...by selecting the multiple songs, then right clicking and selecting "get info" from the list. You can then change things like the genre, album name, grouping, compilation (Y or N)...and other changes.

Live capture and editing?

Hi all, is it in any way possible to use a clip on a timeline while its still being captured? I´m planing to capture a live feed and put together some sort of highlights. Has anybody tried this? Do I need one Mac to capture and another for editing? The incoming signal is SDI.
thanks
Pelle
PB g4+g5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The only way I know of to do this is quite expensive, involving Xsan, Gserve, two FCPs, and a piece of software called 'Picture Ready'

HD - best capture and edit for NTSC Sd output?

I shoot in HD but need to output for community TV channel in Standard NTSC. What shoud my capture and sequence settings be for optimum picture quality for playback?

Two suggestions.
When I did shows on the local community tv, they had pretty rigid specs I needed to conform to. So check with whomever you are producing for, the station will give you what they need.
For my local community tv, it was 29.97 frame rate bitrate 6000-8000 720x480 mpeg2. Audio was 2 ch stereo bit rate of either 192 or 256, 44.1 or 48 khz.
So I would export in prores and use something like Compressor to change.

Settings for Capture and edit HDV

I Bought two Sony V1's yesterday and shot a wedding with them today. No problem capturing the footage but when I place it in the time line I need to render. ( Red line above footage) So i guess the settings are wrong.
In the Audio/Video tab, I have
Sequence preset HDV - 1080i50
Capture Present HDV
Device Control Preset Sony HDV Firewire
What else havent I done? (It was a 13 hour shoot so I'm a bit tired but just wanted to see how it looked. Maybe a good night sleep will help!)
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Two 3Ghz Duel Core Intel Xeon 4 Gig ram

You are going to get this sort of thing a lot. When you try to print to tape at the end it can happen again.
If you are getting problems you should reset your easy settings and copy and paste the edited material (not the sequence or you wil just nest the old sequence inside it) into a newly created easy set up sequence.

How can I open (and edit) multiple jpegs in camera raw?

I am able to open only one at a time. I tried holding the shift and command keys down to select multiple images and I cannot seem to do it.
thank you

It’s only possible to open jpegs one at a time in Camera Raw.
You need Lightroom 3 to be able to do multiple edits simultaneously - there is a free trial for 30 days.
