Capture Directly From Camera

Hi Lightroom experts
I've been using Nikon Capture so far to capture directly from my camera to my computer... can Lightroom also do this for me?
I've tried a lot of different things but so far I wasn't succesfull with it.
Can anybody help me out here?
Thanks a million,
Mark

I've used Capture exactly as Lee describes, it works fairly well.
My only gripe would be that it doesn't display the last image you captured, you have to move around with the cursor keys, which means walking back to the machine, which somewhat defeats the object...

Capturing directly from camera causes audio to go out-of-sync

I'm capturing directly from Canon XHA1 camera into FCP7 on my Macbook Pro (onto an external hard drive) via Firewire. I'm also recording to tape in the camera at the same time.
This works fine -- until I stop & start the tape while recording. This causes the audio to go out-of-sync with the video on the Macbook captured file. (I just let the computer keep capturing, while stopping & starting the tape in the camera.)
Is there a setting in FCP7 to alleviate this problem?

YOur not alone.
I use a Sony Z5, and usually doesnt have a issue, but noticed recently that we are having some sync issues out of the blue.
We connect to a MacBookPro via firewire and capture live in FCP.
We have since changed cameras that records onto SD cards, and havent had a issue since. But just wanted to let you know, your not on your own!

IMovie '11 capturing direct from camera crashed, need to recover file

I was caputuring direct from a camera via firewire and the drive got almost full, so iMove crashed. I can find the capture file, a .mov, put it fails to open in quicktime or VLC.
Please help. I've got over 2 hours of footage that I really need.
Thanks,
Jason

An alternative solution....for now. If you copy the files to your desktop or in any other folder you want them (it's temporary), you can still import them in iMovie. Just click Archive, Import, Movies and search for the folder you put your files in. I did it several times with success, that means no error! Now I can use my files and edit them in iMovie. You can delete the files on the desktop, since iMovie has copied the files into the iMovie library.
Another possibility is drag and drop the files from your desktop directly into an event. iMovie will copy the files into the library. For both options I am not sure if analysation for stability en recognising persons had been done while importing, but I guess you can do that later on.
Do not make the mistake of importing them in Aperture or iPhoto, drag and drop it an iMovie-event and delete it in Aperture/iPhoto... You will only hear the audiostream, you will see miniatures in iMovie, though your videostream is gone. That's how I lost the first video of my second daughter .
Until there's a good solution or update from Apple it works for me. I hope it does for you too!

Capturing directly from camera

I'm using Premiere Pro and I'm having trouble capturing video directly from my camera. I have all the proper connections and the video preview shows up in the capture window, but when I click the record button, it gives me a recorder error saying "Can't find capture inpoint. Try increasing preroll." I have tried increasing the preroll to no avail. I have also tried capturing from the camera using a tape in VCR mode, using it like a tape deck, and I get the same error. Any ideas?

From what camera with what connection with which sequence settings on which OS with which version of PR, to just name a few of the missing pieces of info.
For all those that are not mind readers: Some suggestions

Capture images from Camera directly at high resolution

Hello Users,
I want to capture images from Camera directly at high

Video size is only 160x120. So if I am able to capture directly
from Camera, I am sure to get a higher resolution images at which
the camera is capturing.
Any help in this matter will be of great help

To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to your device using photo applications
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left.
Click the Photos tab.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
If you want to sync all your photos, enable the option for "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, or faces, enable the option for "Selected albums, events, and faces" and then select the albums you want. If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).
Click Apply.
To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device
Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left.
Choose "Sync photos from."
Select Choose Folder from the pop-up menu and choose your main image folder.
Click Apply.

LR displays "no preview available" upon import direct from camera after last update. How do I fix this?

I have the latest LR update with Nikon D700 and import directly from camera. I purchased a new CF card in case the old one was the problem but I get the same thing with the new card. Is there a bug in the last update or is this a problem with my equipment?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically.

Hello Everyone,
My requirement is to capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically. No manual uploading will take place.
Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically automatically upload images to SharePoint library.
You will save images in your local computer after capturing visitors’ image. You could develop a custom timer job to periodically get pictures from the local folder in your computer. Please refer to this article:
Create and Deploy Custom Timer Job Definition in SharePoint Programatically
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/634208/Create-and-Deploy-Custom-Timer-Job-Definition-in-S
you could upload pictures to your SharePoint from the folder with C# code, please refer to this article:
How to: Upload a File to a SharePoint Site from a Local Folder

I have just updated to LR5. I also have a new Camera. Nikon D800. Trying to import directly (from camera) into LR. But unsuccessful. Getting the following message. "The files are from a camera which is not recognised by the raw format support in Lightroom." How can I import please?

Hi,
I assume you mean the Nikon D810 because D800/800E support has been there since Lightroom 4.1
Currently, because it is a new camera (D810) the only support is in a RC of ACR 8.6 for Photoshop CS6 and CC, as the RC runs out on 31 August it is expected support will be there in the next dot release of Lightroom.
Current limitations are that only full sized NEF is supported.
If you wish to import to Lightroom 5.5. you will need to download the DNG Converter v8.6RC and convert the NEF files (full size RAW ony) to DNG then import into Lightroom 5.5

Capture stream from camera in JSF ADF

Hello to everyone,
I have a strange question. Is there any solution if I want to capture stream from camera in my jspx page. I've searched in the net but unfortunately i haven't found anything.
So, if somebody knows how this problem could be implement I will be very grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Regards

Saykov,
Nothing really to do with jsp/jspx whatsoever. You see, jsp runs on the server. The camera is connected to the client. You would need some type of Java applet/ActiveX/flash object (e.g., something running on the client, where the camera is) to do this. I do know that Flash is able to connect to locally attached cameras (I have seen Flash-based web conferencing software that is able to stream presentations via a webcam)

How to download photos direct from camera

Can I upload photos directly from camera to iPad.

You can transfer pictures from camera to iPad using the Camera Connection Kit (CCK)

Is there a way to download photos directly from camera to iPad?

Is there a way to download photos directly from camera to iPad 2?

Yes, you need to buy the Camera Connection Kit from Apple. It has two dongles that plug into the iPad, an SD card reader and a USB that you can connect your camera to. (This USB port is for cameras, and I believe, for keyboards - not for attaching other devices to, like a hard drive.)

Possible to capture direct from monitor?

Hi,
Is it possible to capture video directly from my computer monitor. I want to create a video tutorial on running some programs. I don't really know anything about the video software, I bought the CS5 master collection for the other programs. So, I just wondered if any of them can do it before I spend $40 on FRAPS.
Thanks.

Check out CamStudio; it's a free screen recording program.
Note that if you use the CamStudio codec, you'll have to transcode the files to a different codec as the CS codec is not 64-bit. You can also Google for 64-bit screen capture codecs, and use one of those.

Into Flash direct from camera

When I connect my camera via the USB, can I import direct
into flash and see the 'live' picture within Flash?
I have looked for something i file-import but this only lists
importing prepared movies.

Importing directly from the camera is often problematic. It mounts using a TWAIN driver, and this always seems flaky.
Importing via a card reader mounts the device like a drive, and I have never had problems with this approach. It's almost always faster as well. The only downside is you can't do "tethered" shooting (basically live off the camera).
Anyway, is the Sandisk Extreme 2.0 reader the $90 jobbie? I believe I recall reading a review on Luminous Landscape that noted its speed is only realized if you use their Extreme 4 series of cards -- otherwise it's not all that much faster than a normal reader. I would expect most USB 2.0 or Firewire 400 readers would be fine -- personally I use a Lexus Firewire 400 reader and it has been excellent. The "right" Sandisk combo is faster, but it depends on whether you need that speed for import. It's nice, but often not a "have to have."

Direct from camera or Card Reader?

Aloha all, a few questions because I'm stumped, and have searched the Canon site with no luck, so I thought I'd ask people who have real world knowledge. Here's the problem. Suddenly every program that I attempt to up-load my shots with, can not see the pictures on the camera (20d). They do recognize the camera, and it mounts fine, but it shows up with 0 photos for import. Each one says no photos to up-load, however when I view them on the camera they are there, and when I use a card reader they show up, and up-load/import fine. Any idea why they suddenly can't be seen when the camera is connected directly? More importantly for me, is there a fix you know of that doesn't involve sending the camera in for repairs?
The Applications I use, and won't show/import the shots directly from the 20d are 1. Aperture, 2. Photoshop CS, 3. iPhoto, 4. Digital Photo Professional
Part two, please bare with me.
Does/has anyone used the Sandisk Extreme USB 2.0 Reader? I'm looking for a new card reader and like this one. I don't really need/want a reader that reads 12 - 15 different cards, just a CF and maybe a memory stick. Is the USB 2 ok speed wise? (I shoot mainly RAW). Or would you recommend going FW?
Mahalo in advance for any suggestions, tips, or advice. JB
