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!

  • 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...

  • 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

  • Premiere CC export causes audio to go out of sync...mac & PC...various codecs...including flat passes...disk cache cleaned...render files deleted...what is going on?

    Hey all-
    This is troubling. I'm getting slight audio shift every time I export a project. We noticed it originally when our sound guy brought in the OMF & realized the timecode and audio ended up coming out off by 3/4th of a frame. So we tested it...
    Exports to .movs / .mp4s / .mpegs
    Brought them back in to the project....
    Sound gets off by a 1/4th of a frame to 3/4th of a frame.
    Then we started tested different files. Doing flat passes where NOTHING changed, just a re-export under the settings of the source file...
    sound gets off by a 1/4th of a frame.
    Tried media encoder.
    same thing.
    cleaned the disk cache...deleted render files
    same thing.
    tried it on a new mac pro. tried it on a dell running windows 7.
    same.
    thing.
    So is there a solve for this or should we just stop editing in Premiere? On a few occasions now I've had clients say "it seems like it goes out of sync right there" and I've gone back to the timeline and checked to see it was fine. Now I wonder if much of the work I've put out since I made the switch last year has fallen victim to this.
    Is there any kind of solve for this? Should I just stop using premiere to cut? Because this is a deal breaker, especially if I'm going to have to rebuild the project I'm working on in another NLE.

    avanishdivya thank you, but this did not help. I did exactly what you told me in both cases.
    I haven't overclocked my pc and both of the suggested media encoder methods failed, my pc crashed and turned off...
    Any other suggestions ?

  • Capture images from Camera directly at high resolution

    Hello Users,
    I want to capture images from Camera directly at high
    resolution. The problem is that although I am able to capture
    images from a Video Object, but the images are small because the
    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.

  • 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.)

  • Since downloading OS X Yosemite I have been having issues with Netflix. Video slows down which causes the audio to go out of sync. Netflix plays ok on ipad which makes me think it's the software which is the issue. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Since downloading OS X Yosemite I have been having issues with Netflix. Video slows down which causes the audio to go out of sync. Netflix plays ok on ipad which makes me think it's the software which is the issue. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Try this:
    Go to System Preferences - Bluetooth. Delete the keyboard from the list of devices by pressing the "-" button. Take the batteries out of the keyboard and reinsert them. In Bluetooth Preferences press the '+" button to add the new device. If the keyboard begins to pair, click the word "pair" and type in the passcode. Press return. The keyboard is now paired.
    If the mouse is not pairing, try this: shut down the computer completely, unplug any USB mice, then turn off the power to the bluetooth mouse.  ONce the computer starts up again, wait for the pop-up looking for a mouse.  Turn on the power to the bluetooth mouse.  It should work normally now.

  • Audio and video out of sync

    I have captured tapes from my DVD camera and am in the process of editing clips and have noticed that the video and the audio are slightly out of sync.
    How can I correct this?

    I don't think it was a "DVD" camera!
    Often sync problems are caused by recording the audio at a different setting than the Easy Setup capture preset.
    The normal DV-PAL or NTSC Easy Setup is for 16bit audio.
    If you recorded at 12 bit you need the "DV-PAL (or NTSC) 32KHz" Easy Setup.
