Capturing from different camera

Perhaps an odd, and silly, question, but here goes. Is there any problem with using a camera that was not used to shoot the DV tape to import that DV tape into FCE?

Hi Ian,
The answer could be yes or no.
If your Pana DS8 (or some other miniDV tape based cam that you use for capturing) can play HDV recordings, then the answer would be yes.
If your capture cam is only DV, then if the HDV camera has the capability to record DV onto the miniDV tape, then the answer would also be yes. Some, maybe even most, tape-based HDV cameras have a DV setting.
But if it's an HDV recording, and your capture cam is a DV camera, even though the tape would physically fit, the capture cam would not be able to play the recording. HDV is MPEG2.

  • IPhoto 2011. Created an album from different cameras (different filenames), placed pics in order in album but want to export into new folder on desktop in same order. Can I number the pics within iPhoto to reflect that order, or simply export in order?

    iPhoto 2011. I have created an album from different cameras (different filenames), and placed pics in order in the iphoto album but want to export into a new folder on the desktop in that same order. Can I number the pics within iPhoto to reflect that order, or simply export in order? 
    Thanks!

    File -> Export, and note the options under File Name
    Another way:
    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

    I have got a problem to capture from analog Sony Hi8 video camera. I have used the video in on TI4200 and the winproducer/wincoder program. But I could not see my camera image and the video files in the program. How can I capture from analog camera (Video in socket)? I have already installed Ndivia capture driver. Please help me. Thanks.

  • Comparing images from different cameras

    I recently tried to compare images taken with a Nikon D300 (12.3 mgapixel-small sensor), D800 (36 megapixels-large sesnsor) and D4 (16.1 megapixels - large sensor) using the LR4.1 Compare function with not very satisfactory results (iMac 27, Lion). I took 4 images each of the same subject with a 60mm f2.8 Nikon lens on a tripod at F8, at 200,400,800 and 1600 ISO and imported the images into LR. Selecting images of the same ISO and using the Compare function, they all looked pretty much the same so I viewed them at 1:1 and 2:1 trying to get a closer look at the fine details to check for sharpness and noise. Regardless of how I cropped the images, I couldn't get any of them from the different cameras to be the same size on the screen in the closeup views. I presume the combination of sensor size and megapixel capture on the sensors caused this problem but I don't have the technical expertise to either understand (or care). Is there a way in LR to overcome these differences? If so, how? Thanks for any help.

    Obviously, Lightroom was not designed to handle this specialized situation. This comparison would be a piece of cake in Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements or most any other true editor), but I cannot think of a way to make this happen in Lightroom.

  • How to make a single multi-view clip from different cameras?

    Hi,
    I recorded one conversation between two people with two different cameras (i.e., a camera per person) and I'd like to create a single video clip where the two clips from the two cameras are positioned side by side, i.e., one clip of the two people talking. I tried creating a Multicam clip but I didn't see an option to export the sequence as a single clip (also there was no option of how to place the clips which suggested that Multicam clip may not be the solution for this).
    Is there a way to do that in Final Cut Pro X?
    Of course, this would also involve synchronising the two clips based on the audio waveform and then detaching the audio from the non-master clip. 
    Any advice and recommendations will be highly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Katya

  • IMovie 08 minor problem, hovering on "Done" while capturing from a camera..

    In iMovie 7.0.1, when I am capturing from a camcorder, when I hover over "Stop", it shows "Click here to begin recording" instead of "Click here to stop...". The same is with when I am capturing with the iSight camera, it shows "Click to begin recording". This is a minor problem, but might confuse some computer illiterate folk and should be fixed in the next update.

    Thanks, I'll pass that along.
    If she's upgraded her OS or QT beyond this point, which she's probably done -- in all innocence -- then to get it to work, she'd have to re-install earlier versions of both OS X and QT? Or buy a new, considerably more expensive version of FCP?
    Wow! That's a bummer.

  • Capture from different video and audio sources ?

    Hey guys, I'm running Adobe CS4 Master Collection.
    In the past I've used Premiere to record the video and Soundbooth to record the audio. Then I would import the recorded audio into premiere.
    Thinking about the workflow this seems kind of long winded, really what I should be able to do is record the audio from my video camera and the audio from my microphone (not video cam audio), at the same time within premiere.
    Just wondering if anyone has a way of doing this ?
    In the capture screen options it only allows selection of the video source with the audio automatically coming from the video camera - not what I want.
    Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

    Jason,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, this was posted to the Premiere (not Pro) forum, and belongs in the Premiere Pro forum, as you have CS4. The best reason for that is that there is much more traffic out in the PrPro forum, so you'll get more responses.
    Now, to address your question: I see your normal workflow as being the best one. You are talking about the Video from your camera and then narration. Doing them as separate operations will be the easiest and the best, as they are, well separate operations.
    One possibility would be to hook your mic to an XLR input on your camera, preview the footage and record your additional Audio Track to the tape, or card. However, you are then faced with having more than the 2 origianl channels of Audio. You would need to use SceneAlyzer Live (for SD material), or HDVSplit (for HD material), to Capture those additional channels of Audio for use in PrPro, as it will NOT Capture them.
    I'd guess that the time to do that sort of workflow would be as long, as doing it your way. Also with your way, you can redo botched narration much more quickly.
    Maybe someone has another method, to run both Soundbooth and PrPro at the same time, other than on side-by-side computer, but you'll still have the issue of bothched narration - gotta' get it 100% the first time, or you'll be really playing "catch up."
    Good luck,

  • How do you combine videos from different cameras

    Hi there,
    I would like to be able to combine video clips taken of the same event with different cameras in such a way that they all share the same audio.
    I have recorded my daughter's entire theater play with a camera in the back of the hall connected directly to the theater's audio equipment. Thus, I have the entire audio in high quality in one huge clip. Then I and a couple of other parents have recorded the play with a number of additional cameras. I would now like to put together a project with video clips from the other cameras using the audio of the first. Obviously, the timing is critical here.
    How can I replace part of just the video of a clip with the video of another clip without affecting the audio and making sure that the part that I replace is of the exact same length as the part I insert? How can I then finetune the location of the replacing part so that it fits to the audio?
    Thank you very much for any help you can provide.
    Best regards,
    Marcus

    Hi AppleMan,
    this is also a very helpful hint, thanks!
    This has been quite an experience and wasn't as easy as I had hoped. May I add two additional hints in the hopes that someone else will find them useful:
    * When taping an event with several cameras make sure that all cameras are set to the same time. This makes iMovie sort them in roughly the right order and makes it much easier to find the clips you want.
    * When trying to overlay one short clip over another longer one (using the audio of the longer clip) it is helpful to have several extra frames on the left and right of the clip. With the "Trim" menu item one can then more precisely determine exactly which part of the clip to insert. With the Shift-Arrow Keys one can then easily shift the entire clip by individual frames without changing the length of the clip.
    Best regards,
    Marcus

  • Can FCPX cut together footage from different cameras/recordings?

    I used to use Sony Vegas, but I switched to Mac recently (so I have no experience with Final Cut in any form) and I want to know if FCPX can do something that I found tricky in Vegas.
    I'm a drama teacher, and we often video productions and exercises from multiple angles, either two (or more) cameras on the same event, or more often one camera in different positions with the event repeated.
    Can FCPX easly allow the different camera angles to be cut toegether?  Or is this the "missing multicam feature" that I keep hearing about?
    Yes, I am new to Final Cut, no I am not a "noob", yes this is a genuine question.  If FCPX cannot do this, what is a recommended alternative?

    Yes, Final Cut Pro X can handle footage from a variety of cameras and formats, all in one timeline.  You can choose upon Import to transcode or optimize the files (this will create new versions that will play better within Final Cut), but I have personally begun using it WITHOUT transcoding (I'm approaching FCPX as a Beta Tester with actual projects that I am working on for clients while I learn the software).  In the future, I will probably tinker with using transcoding and optimizing, but for now I am primarily working with footage from an HDV camera and footage from an AVCHD camera.
    You can sync them up in a project and edit them.  Yes, the MultiClip function from FCP7 is MIA for now (Apple has officially stated it will be added back in later).  I personally only used multiclip on certain productions that used more than 3 angles.  If it is just 2 or 3 angles, FCP X will most likely work fine.  It isn't as time-efficient as using multiclip, but I found multiclip to be lacking when it came to using different formats.
    I just finished editing a 2-camera wedding ceremony in FCPX.  After the initial learning curve, I appreciated FCPX ability to scrub video and audio easily in the timeline (it felt way more efficient in identifying immediate cuts like camera position movement, zooms and pans to new framing, etc.)  Once I figured out its differentiation between the "Primary Storyline" and Grouped Clips and Compound Clips (all new to me in this version), I kind of liked it.
    The short answer to your question is...FCPX will probably suit your needs based on the projects and workflow I've used and what you are working on based on your description.  I also shoot weddings, drama productions and graduation ceremonies, which are my primary events.  FCPX I believe will suit my needs just fine.

  • Capture from HDV camera on 4x3 SD setting

    I'm trying to capture 4x3 SD video from a Cannon XHA1 camera, which is an HD camera, into Premiere Elements.  I've tried setting up my Premiere file in 4x3 and 16x9 and tried setting the camera at DV 4x3 and 16x9.  When I go to capture, Premiere shows that it's working but once I hit stop/pause, I get a notification that no frames were captured.  What am I doing wrong?

    I'm connected through firewire.  Not sure about "DV Lock."  Under system control, there is an option for "DV Control," and MAGN. B. Lock and Shutter Lock.
    DV Control is switched to "OFF"

    I have 2 Sony HDR FX1 and 1 Sony HVR Z1U and it works great in both CS3 & CS4 so something is wrong with your setup or camera.
    I only have a 7200 SATA drive for capture.
    I dont know if a bad cable would cause this.
    Harm has a couple other ways to capture that he says it keeps the audio in sync better but I have yet tried it but im sure from what I have read here that it works good.
    Here is a link to his Tools Article.

    EDIT:
    I have an 5 year old system.
    On Bills PPBM4 test you can see that I scored second to LAST on speed so even my system can capture fine.

  • Capturing from FW - Camera Crashes FCPE and Quicktime

    I just upgraded from my MacMini (my first) to this PowerMac Dc2.3 to do some video editing. I have Quicktime 7.03 and FCPE, and a Sony DVCamcorder connected via firewire. I also have a couple FW400 Harddrives and a FW800 drive connected.
    If I try to record using Quicktime, it crashes. If I try to capture in FCPE, it crashes. iMovie captures fine. I had checked out another thread where some folks were having problems with camera recognition and tried some of the suggestions, but this only temporarily fixed the problem. After uninstallng and reinstalling a number of times, I discovered that every time I deleted the Library>Quicktime directory and then reinstalled, it would work. I then used my Eskape Labs myTV.PVR and it went through the install process like it did when I first installed it. Now Quicktime and FCPE again crash.
    I drag the file: TrinityVDIG.component which was installed by the myTV.PVR installation from the Library>Quicktime directory to the desktop. This fixed the problem: Quicktime and FCPE once again work. If I put TrinityVDIG.component back, they break once again. The problem is clearly not with Quicktime or FCPE, but with this component that hooks into Quicktime.
    So when doing capturing, I just drag the component to the desktop and then drag it back when I want to watch TV. I also tried leaving the component in the Library>Quicktime directory and just unplugging the myTV.PVR device, this works, but the initialization of the capture is very slow compared to if you just remove the TrinityVDIG.component.
    I am going to try to send this to the Eskape people and hopefully they will produce a compatible component.
    I hope this might help some that are having a problem.
    Ed Cross

    i am having the same problem, except when i try to open it using itunes it also closes down and gives me that error message. I also tried opening the files with nero and the problem occurs there also. i wish there was a fix for this because quicktime 6 worked great.

  • Live Capture from GL2 Camera via Firewire

    Image quality when capturing live video into iMovie from a Canon GL2 is very very grainy and poor quality. It used to work fine capturing into iMovie HD, but that no longer works correctly with Snow Leopard (transport controls and other buttons don't show up). The footage is totally unusable.
    I've heard that image quality in iMovie is a bit less than FCE, but this is no minor difference. Is there a setting that should be changed?

    t used to work fine capturing into iMovie HD
    iMovie 09 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage.
    iMovie 06 (iMovie HD) uses ALL of the image to form the video.
    no longer works correctly with Snow Leopard (transport controls and other buttons don't show up).
    I use both iMovie 09 and iMovie 06 with OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). (But when I need better quality I use iMovie 06.)
    I've heard that image quality in iMovie is a bit less than FCE, but this is no minor difference.
    iMovie 06 and FCE have the same image quality. iMovie 09 uses 'single field processing' so you have a bit lower quality.
    Is there a setting that should be changed?
    No.
