Capture presets popup, how do i find?

I am having aproblem with my final cut express hd program. It keeps telling me that there is no connection even though my camcorder is hooked up to my laptop correctly. I keep getting an error message that says I need to reset my capture presets but I can not find a popup menu to do that. Resetting with easy set up is not doing the job. I am using a vixia hv30 and/ or a SONY HVR-Z7U  with an mac laptop. Can you help. What do I need to do?

You need to verify that both cameras are set to output the correct format of video out the firewire ports.
If you shot HDV, you must make sure that both cameras are set NOT to downconvert the signal to DV at the firewire port. There is a menu setting ON THE CAMERA for this.
If they are set to downcovert to DV, then FC does not see the vtr that it expects - if easy set up is set to HDV it will look for an HDV signal and see a DV signal.

  • How do I find out what is being captured and applied?

    Hi,
    I have the following issue i'm trying to understand.
    My test 2-way streams setup (10.2.0.3 on windows) was stopped/broken for some weeks. I got around to starting to fix it yesterday. Since then its been sat there scanning through logs starting from the 21st of May 2007 (and still on the 21st). There are large number of messages being captured queued and propagated (8378901+ at the mo). This would make some sense if there had been constant changes going through for the past weeks but there haven't. I've created and dropped a table, inserted a couple of rows, and maybe created an index but thats it.
    So what is going on?
    Is there a way to peek into the queues and see the contents of these messages?
    How do I find out what its doing and why?

    Hi,
    You can know what is being applied using the following query:
    select sid, event, p1, p2, state, seconds_in_wait, sq.SQL_ID, sql_text
    from v$session s, v$sqlarea sq
    where sid in (select sid
    from v$streams_apply_coordinator
    union all
    select sid
    from v$streams_apply_reader
    union all
    select sid
    from v$streams_apply_server) and s.sql_id = sq.sql_id

  • How can I ensure that the audio sample rare of my capture preset matches?

    Hi everyone
    When capturing tapes I get warning that the audio sample rate of one or more of captured files does not match the sample rate on my source tape. This may cause the vidio and audeo of the media files to be out of sync. How can I make sure that the my capture preset matches the sample rate of my tape? Can anyone be able to show me how? Thank you. Faruk.

    Hi
    Fuerther, I have double checked and found that none of my ten projects has sound, although audio meters settings moves up & down. Simultaniously, canvas displays that in- & out of clips are not set , and in browser I see time codes on the images when the playhead stops in timeline. I did not have this problem before. I wonder appreciate if if these issues are interrelated, and if I may have clicked something that has triggered this.
    I would appreciate it if you or other friends could kindly address this problem and help me resolve the isssue. Thank you. Faruk.

  • When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing

    When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing the metadata and stop it?

    Thanks Sean,
    I've had a look at the TC settings dialog and tried to keep it as simple as possible. I also had a copy of LR 4 on the hard drive so have trashed that also incase of any conflicts. LR seems to be running ok now but as said it's an intermittent problem.
    I also have a copy of Capture One on the hard drive so am going to uninstall that also in case it is trying to launch.

  • I installed the trial of Media Encoder CC but cannot find the imx30 preset. Where and how can i find and install this feature.

    I installed the trial of Media Encoder CC but cannot find the imx30 preset. Where and how can i find and install this feature.

    In the case of the trial mode, the license to MXF OP1a format as well as MPEG2 format are not activated if you install only Media Encoder only.  If this is the case, in order to activate those formats in the trial mode, please also install Premiere Pro, After Effects or Prelude and launch it at least once.  After this, re-launching Media Encoder should make MXF OP1a format available.

  • Wrong capture presets & how to correct them

    Ok, I've been a real dufus:
    I have shot my material 25fps progressive, 16:9, PAL, DVCam. For reasons I can't comprehend I used the "DV PAL 48 KHz" preset and "Capture Now" to capture my whole tape, which was was successfully imported as 8 seperate clips due to (ordered) timecode breaks (using a Sony DSR-11 deck via "Firewire PAL" preset). I have created a sequence using subclips from those master clips.
    PART 1 - WRONG PRESETS?
    I know I have to recapture my clips using the anamorphic setting, but rummaging around the "advanced" section of "Audio/Visual Settings>Capture Presets>DV PAL 48 KHz>Compressor" I noticed that the settings were 'interlaced' and the aspect ratio was set to 4:3. Should I change these to 'progressive' and 16:9 so I can capture/edit/output my film to same quality as I shot it?
    PART 2 - CORRECTING THE PROBLEM
    When I try to Batch Capture my original 8 master clips (with the new settings), it fails with the familiar "timecode error: end of tape reached" even though in 'Capture Now' FCP is meant to overcome my ordered timecode breaks with enough pre/post roll to allow me to recapture my clips. How do I get round this? I have seen a suggestion that I recapture the whole tape using the same clip names and then use "Reconnect Media" to associate my master clips to the new media files (I tested this idea with a duplicate master clip but got a warning of 'attribute mismatch' when I went to reconnect the duplicate to the newly capture media file apparently because as the media in/out timecodes weren't quite the same).

    - The 'Advanced' tab is actually in the 'Quicktime Settings' section not 'Compressor'. Do I take it that the 16:9 box in the 'Frame Size' area is for converting 4:3 on the tape to 16:9 in FCP rather than capturing 16:9 as shot on the tape?

  • How to adjust sample rate in "capture preset"?

    I'm having to recapture footage shot some years ago on my old Sony VX1000 using my Sony Z5U. I'm working on FCE 4.0 (OS 10.4), Easy Setup at DV-NTSC and capturing by "capture now." I'm getting a warning saying that my sample rate of capture does not match sample rate of source tape and advises me to ensure that my audio sample rate of the "capture preset" matches the sample rate of [my] source tape. Browser tells me that my sequence and my clips audio rate are both at 48 KHz, but my sequence audio format is 32 bit floating point, and my clips are at 16 bit integer. How do I access capture preset and synch capture rate?
    Thanks

    48KHz = 16bit
    32KHz = 12bit
    Can't be both at the same time.
    Most cameras come set to 12bit as the factory default. On the Canon miniDV cams like your ZR500, go into the menus for *Camera Setup > Audio Setup > Audio Mode* and you should be able to toggle between 16 bit and 12 bit audio.
    You want to film your videos using 16bit audio if at all possible. If you have done so, then you should use the DV-NTSC easy setup in Final Cut Express (not the DV-NTSC 32KHz easy setup).
    If you inadvertently filmed your video using 12-bit audio then you will need to use the DV-NTSC 32KHz easy setup in FCE.

  • LrFtp.makeFtpPresetPopup - how to have ftp preset popup in modal dialog?

    It seems ftp preset popups can only be put on plugin manager or export/publish dialog.
    Anybody else been able to have an ftp preset popup in a dialog created using LrDialogs.presentModalDialog?
    When I tried, I just get a popup with no items.

    Hi Timo,
    Thanks for the reply.. I used a panelGroupLayout with layout="scroll" inside a panelStrechLayout and it worked :)

  • Matching sample rates of capture preset and tape

    After upgrading to FCE 3.5, I don't have the dropped frames problem anymore and the audio is in sync but every time I'm done capturing a clip from my camera I get an alert saying the audio sample rate of captured media files don't match the sample rate on source tape.
    So, I gather that the sample rate capture preset must equal the sample rate of the tape. So I need to know two things:
    1. How do I set the sample rate capture preset? I've looked everywhere I can think of.
    2. How do I find out what the sample rate of my tape is? I've looked in my Sony FX1's settings and can't find anything.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Your FX1 sound settings can be found in audio menu, select 16 bit if you shoot in DV format.
    Audio settings for HDV is not adjustable.
    Your sequence and capture settings have to match the properties of your captured clips.
    Select DV-NTSC 48kHz in easy setup. (for DV)
    or Apple intermediate codec 1080i60 for HDV.

  • Capture preset for dcvprohd1080 24p??????

    I just shot a bunch of footage with an hvx200. The recording format was 1080i/24p. I am used to filming 720p with this camera and the presets in fcp are fine. There is not a capture preset for 1080/24p in fcp. There is only a 1080/24pa preset, which cant be right because its a totally differnt recording format. does anyone know the right way to capture dvcprohd 1080i/24p?

    I found that most interesting.... but again I ask why do you need to go to all the hassle and it IS hassle of RE-encoding from MXF to QT? I'm editing the MXF files straight.
    There is no "reencode", it is a simple transfer and addition of a QT wrapper so that FCP can read the files. Nothing is re-encoded, no metadata is lost, as Ben says. Hassle? What UTTER nonsense! if you rename the clip, FCP knows what links to what, and when you import you can RENAME and ORGANIZE your clips...a KEY thing to an efficient workflow.
    Are you telling me you EDIT THE MASTERS? You don't back up your footage at all? So, if your hard drive fails (and they often do), then all your footage is gone. Even if you edit the MXF files directly with Raylight, you ought to back up the masters by copying them to another disk, or LTO, or whatever. Just common sense. I keep my original MXF files on an archive disk and import the files into FCP where I can rename and organize how I please.
    In all my time of using the HVX (about 16 months) I've never known FCP to save the Metadata.... even if it hides it somewhere obscure its still a waste as FCP can't intiragate it.... i.e. I did a search this morning for all 720 50p footage shot in Tibet on P2 card serial number XXXXXX.... its an absolute breeze with P2cms. How can you do that with FCP? you can't you have to rummage through potentially 100's of clips.
    What metadata are you referring to? All you need are the clip names and timecode information really, and FCP retains that. Even if you rename a clip from 0003FG5 to "man crosses street," FCP knows that MAN CROSSES STREET is tied to 0003FG5. If the drive fails or media is lost, and you reimport, it goes right to the clip.
    I don't in anyway doubt your qualification in this field BUT I find it odd that your advocating such a convoluted workflow!
    Convoluted? Are you STILL saying that you edit your MASTER CLIPS and don't back them up? And if you do back them up (as you should), doesn't THAT double the size of your footage?
    First I program the metadata into the HVX via the SD card. I shoot what I need. I then hook up to my MBP to the HVX and fire up P2cms. I then injest the card(s). Lastly I fill in any outstanding required metadata.
    When I come to edit the footage.... I have the powerful P2cms database on hand to find any footage that I need within my collection of 1000's of clips. That then gets dropped into the required sequence. No fuss no hassle!
    Sorry to say it but after spending about a year with it all I can say is that Apple's workflow *****
    Depends on what you are doing, what you are editing, and what workflow you need. Your workflow works for you, but doesn't necessarily work for everyone. Just like the Importing workflow doesn't work for everyone. A lot of people like and use Raylight and edit the masters right away. ENG crews, people who need fast turnaround. It works. But so does importing and renaming and all that. There isn't ONE way to do things, because there are many many different production types...each requiring a different approach.
    Work the way you work...do what you do. Don't knock something because it isn't the way you do it. As the saying goes, "there is more than one way to skin a cat." As long as the cat ends up skinned, what does it matter how you did it?
    Eeew.

  • How do I find out where iTunes thinks missing files are?

    I have several hundred "missing" files in my iTunes library but they are all actually on the computer. But I don't remember where the were previously. I add dozens of songs at a time to my library all the time and there is no Earthly way for me to constantly remember where they were before. I don't just want to reimport the files because I have several hundred playlists with these files and it would be completely stupid to edit them all one at a time when all I need to do is to move them back to where iTunes thinks they should be. So where is that? The Windows media player has a column that displays file location. Why doesn't iTunes? (This is so stupid. It makes things -not just this- so much easier when you have the file location in the music list in your music player.)
    Is there a way to find out where iTunes thinks the missing files should be at?

    The exclamation mark means ITunes doesn't think they are anywhere.
    If you right click - get info on a song then view the Info tab, you will see where iTunes last used it from.
    I'm not a newbie. I know quite a lot about iTunes. You sound like you don't though because if you did you would know that this is not true. If you "right click - get info on a song" (pressing cancel to the Locate popup) "then view the SUMMARY (not info) tab" you will see "Not Available" where the file location usually is. I wouldn't have asked this question if I hadn't gone through the steps already.
    Thanks for trying though. Next time, please try the advice before you give it.
    I add dozens of songs at a time to my library all the time and there is no Earthly way for me to constantly remember where they were before
    You should not have to remember anything about where they were.
    I agree.
    Are you always moving them around?
    When I install a new hard drive. Yes. I generally keep everything organized and I let iTunes keep the folder organized but several years ago I used windows media player to organize my media.
    Frankly I don't know HOW the recent songs/videos/etc. go missing. But some do. Maybe I accidentally move a folder without realizing it. Mistakes happen. Then I need to move it back but since I didn't know I did it in the first place I can't possibly be expected to remember where I moved it from.
    Do you have iTunes prefs -> Advanced Keep ITunes music folder organized ticked and Copy files to iTunes ... ticked?
    *OF COURSE!* Again, I'm not a newbie.
    I have several hundred playlists with these files
    Why would you have several hundred playlists?
    I don't mean to sound rude but you sound like an Apple fanboy. Are you trying to tell me how I should use my own program? The answer to the question is I am a salsa instructor/DJ and I am constantly adding songs and videos to my library. Every month I have various salsa events, classes and performances that I do. I use my iPhone for the music. I need to maintain the playlists because students/teachers/studios/clubs/bars/churches/etc. call me back and want a repeat of the great salsa night I gave them a year ago. Naturally my playlists are highly organized into folders. So, I still have them and I need them.
    Apple has its own ideas about how people should use its stuff but everyone is unique and our needs therefore are unique too. Apple doesn't realize this and still wants us to do things "the Apple way" even though "the Apple way" only works well for people who want their hand held through everything. This is why I say you sound like a fanboy. You don't know my situation and question if I need hundreds of playlists. I do.
    I just need an answer to the question.
    Thank you for your reply though. It gave me hope, for a time.

  • How do I find images in LR 2.4 (imported from CS4 Bridge) that have color labels already assigned In CS4 Bridge? I have set both Bridge and LR color labels text to match (eg Green for green, etc).

    How do you find images in LR 2.4 that have been imported from CS4 Bridge and have been assigned a color label in Bridge?  I have set both LR 2.4 and my CS4 Bridge to match the text for each color to be the same (eg. Green for green, etc), and the filter search in LR 2.4 shows that a label has been assigned, but I am unable to identify and locate the specific images in LR 2.4 that have had a color label assigned from CS4 Bridge.  I have tried to search via attribute, metadata, text, etc...Is it necessary to re-assign color labels all over again, image by image, in LR 2.4, or is there a way to automatically have the color labels assigned in CS4 Bridge be assigned and searchable to the images after they have been imported into the LR 2.4 catalogue from the Bridge program?

    JohnM.
    I closed both programs and re-imported photos and re-tried the action of having LR  read the XMP metadata from the CS4 files, and it seems to work now just fine...don't know why now and not before, but thanks much. Is there a way to have LR do this automatically upon import of images from CS4?  I tried to do this with an import metadata preset, but no luck.  It seems as if I can only do this once the images have already been imported into LR, and then to have to have LR read the metadata from the CS4 Bridge files.  thanks gain.

    After burning a successful DVD in iDVD out of FCPX, how can I see the settings it used?
    So I finally burned a DVD out of a Apple Pro Res file into iDVD in PAL format. My question now is how can I find out what the exact burn properties were so that I can apply the same burn properties to a project in Compressor 4?
    Is it possible to see what iDVD did?

    I don't know any way you can interrogate iDVD to reveal settings to the extent that you can in a Compressor project. What you could do is open up the show's VOB in MPEG STreamclip, go to File and Reveal Stream Information; that will at least give you some rudimentary info like average bit rate. Perhaps someone, with more iDVD experience, can chime in here.
    The broader question is why use Compressor at all if your current workflow is doing the job to your satisfaction?
    The value of Compressor is that it gives you control over the many parameters that affect size quality.  and playability. The Compressor presets can give you a starting point for DVD delivery, Web, etc. From those presets, people typically experiment by adjusting the parameters until they get the desired results for their specific show. It's a little bit science and a little bit art. After experimenting, you may be able to get slightly better quality for the project you've successfully burned in iDVD by using Compressor and something likeToast…or maybe not.
    Good luck.

    I received a message on my iPhone 4 that has a video attached to it. I "saved video" but don't know where. How do I find it and send it to mi MacBook Air?

    It would have saved to your camera roll.  Connect the phone to your Air via a USB cable and then run Image Capture which is located either in your Utilities folder or Other folder, depending on what version of Mac OS X your are running.  You will then see all the photos and videos stored on your iPhone and can then download them.
