Capturing Video Problems

I am using Final Cut Studio 5.1.4 and attempting to capture film from a Sony video camera. I have a 4 to 6 firewire cable connected from the video out of the camera to a firewire port on my dual 1gb power pc. When I open a file in PCP and choose to capture the preview screen opens but says "Preview Disabled".  FCP recognizes the camera as I am able to fast forward, rewind, and stop the camera. When I press capture now I get a notice that there is no video to capture even though the camera is playing video. I tried trashing and re-installing FCP but that did nothing to solve the problem? I have captured video hundreds of times in the past?????

Michael, thank you for your reply.
We have the latest FCP on other computers but need to capture this for someone who only owns the older version of FCP. We are using a Canon XL1s to capture with which is the same camera the project was shot on. We have used the Easy Setup DV NTSC 48 KHZ which in the past has worked with the same camera and film. No matter what I do the log and capture window says preview window disabled. The only window I know of that could cause this is in the log and capture audio window where there is a box which needs to be checked for the log and capture window to be active. It is checked. The log and capture window still recognizes the camera as we can rewind, fast forward, pause, and stop the camera from the log in window controls. When you press capture now with the camera playing video it says there is no video to capture????? Went through the manual several times before posting and the manual fails to address this problem?????

  • Capturing Video - Problem is I have an MBA with no Firewire

    Hi,
    I have a MBA and I know that I cannot download my Video using Final Cut, because I do not have a Firewire port (wasn't thinking of video editing and downloading when I got this machine)!
    So I am using a PC to capture the Video in an AVI format. Final cut said that I will lose quality, because this isn't the best file format.
    Could someone help by letting me know which file format I need to save the capture as, so that I can use final Cut to edit my Videos?
    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    FCE uses QuickTime files in specific codecs and frame rates. If you're working with standard-definition footage, your goal should be to get your media to QuickTime using the DV-PAL codec.
    Be aware that Apple doesn't support external USB drives for video work, though some users have done so successfully, particularly if the drive isn't very full. The lack of a firewire port on the MBA and new MacBooks really cripples them insofar as video work is concerned, IMHO.

  • Captured video problem

    I'm capturing 50 mins worth of video and when I put the clip in my timeline or view the properties in the bin, I only get approximately 15 mins of the video. Any suggestions is much appreciated.

    Please provide

  • Problems with image when capturing video

    When I capture video from my TV I got a sharp image and everything, but the image is not in the center.  How can I correct the problem or is the problem my TV?
    The lowest part of the image is outside the screen if you know what I mean?

    The appearance of dashes usually suggests some kind of pre-set e.g.
    Wedding-20150106-0001.jpg
    The only suggestion I can make is that you check to ensure you are using the correct parameters in the templates manager.

  • Problem capturing video

    I recently contacted Canopus, who manufactures my video capture device (ADVC-100), but they said I have a software issue.
    Here is the issue I'm having, if anyone can help:
    Every time I attempt to capture video the image (which shows the footage it is capturing) freezes after a few minutes or even sometimes after 30 seconds or so.
    I then escape the capture to find that the footage has now eaten up the 40 gigs of my hard drive (leaving only 1.95 left each time), which is not possible considering it's only, at most, a few minutes of video. My computer slows down immensely after this and I have to force quit Final Cut (which takes a very long time) and delete this 40 gig video file from my captured footage folder (which also takes a very long time, I guess because there's so little space left on the
    computer and this is a very large file). The file is unreadable; it's supposed to be a video file but I can't actually play it back.
    This happens the same way every time:attempt to capture, image freezes after a few minutes or so, have to force quit, then I find an unreadable 40 GIG file in my capture folder.
    It did not used to do this. I cannot think of anything I am doing differently now that would have caused this to happen. I definitely have not changed any settings. Maybe an update to FCP caused this??
    It used to do this intermittently, say if I converted 20 separate times, it might do it once or twice. Now it does it every time, and at shorter intervals (after a few minutes, whereas before, it used to be maybe after thirty minutes or so).
    I recently added an external hard drive to my computer, but I do not write to it. I write directly to my main internal drive. Still, I disconnected the external one and it produced the same results in the same manner.
    I've tried simple measures, like restarting the drive, the ADVC-100, etc...but it consistently produces the same problems.
    Thanks to anyone that can help.
    Sean

    Your problem is most likely because you are capturing to your main drive. This is a definite no-no. Capture to the external drive - providing that it is has a firewire port and not a USB port.
    How are you capturing? Capture now? That's my guess since you said that 40gigs of space are taken up on the crash. It is pretty standard for FCP on a Capture Now to reserve some space for itself. And it is quite correct that if it crashes, the file will not be usable because FCP was unable to close the file.
    Capture to an external firewire drive. I'll be your problem goes away.

  • Problems capturing video in QT Pro - quits after 16 mins

    OK, here are the details of the system - MBP, 1.5GB RAM, 10.4.10 and QuickTime Pro - an older, but working Sony DVMC-DA1 (analog to Firewire convertor). Oh, and there is about 30GB of free hard disk space.
    What I am trying to do - capture video from a VCR.
    I have rebooted the system, flushed all caches, created a new account and still have this issue.
    It will capture between 16-17 of DV video and then it stops recording. I can see and edit the media I have captured, but it won't capture anymore then 16-17 minutes before stopping. I have two tapes that I would like to grab the video off of. One is 35 minutes and the other is a little over an hour. This is driving me crazy!
    Has anyone else seen this problem? Or have any suggestions?
    Thanks!!!

    This seems to be another Apple screw up. They released an update before testing it properly. I have seen several posting in many forums stating the same problem you are experiencing. The only work around I have found to work thus far is to capture the audio and video seperately. As taking twice the time to capture, not just in seperate files. Pain in the arse but it works for me. I am thinking that it is a FCP 4.5 and QT 7.1.5 issue. But of course Apple won't say anything about it. They leave it to the rest of us to point out thier mistakes as usual.

  • Problems Capturing Video via FireWire

    I have had problems capturing video via firewire on my MacBook Pro. It is an early 2008 model. I have tried capturing video using multiple programs, cables and cameras. In both Final Cut Express and iMovie ('08 and '09) I loose the connection mysteriously. It just stops sensing my camera mid capture. I can shut the computer down, programs down and cameras down but nothing seems to work consistently in getting it to work. The weird part is that it does work some times. Recently I tried an auto capture of a whole miniDV tape through a sony handicam via iMovie '09. It got 20mins of the tape then stopped and rewound the tape. When trying it again it read "connection error". I could not get it to work. I put the computer to sleep and came back later. It worked but only captured about 10 minutes then shut down the whole camera and import completely. I switched to manual import and it will now only let me capture about 20 seconds at a time. What is going on? To me it seems like the port itself is malfunctioning and disconnecting the signal randomly. Has anyone else experienced this? What is the cause and what can I do about it?

    I've been reading the forums and it seems that there is an issue with the Firewire port in general. I have an external firewire 800 HD and when copying large files or a large number of files the HD gets dismounted unexpectedly. Your case seems similar in that we are both transferring large files via Firewire. Anyone have any fixes for this?

  • Problem Capturing Video when using A/D converter

    I'm reasonably new to Final cut, but not a complete novice.
    I have had good success in the past capturing video and also using the log and batch capture feature using a DV tape in my camcorder and having FCP control the camcorder.
    Now I tried something that I have done in my past when I was using imovie 06. I have a VHS tape in my VCR connected to my Mac through my camcorder which acts as an A/D converter.
    The problem is that when I do a log/capture and capture now, I start my VCR and see the video in the viewer but the capture window says that it can't find a timecode and remains black.
    Can someone give me some advise on what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Thanks for the help.. could you point me in the right direction on where I set this setting? I looked in my Lisa Brenneis FCP6 book and I can't find a 'capture protocol' in the index.
    Thanks,
    Steve.

  • Problem capturing video from Canon Vixia hg20 to Adobe Elements ,

    Hey ,
    So I am having alot of difficulty capturing video to Adobe Elements 2.0 from my Canon Vixia hg20 video camera . I am trying to capture using the USB 2.0 port , which I do have the drivers installed for.. If anyone else has had a similar problem and a solution , I would love to hear about it , .
    Basically the camera is not even detecting in the software , not really sure what to do??
    thanks John

    From Cannon Web
    Issue: What folder are the videos stored in on the camcorder?
    Solution: List of the directory and file structure of AVCHD camcorders
    For users who wish to "drag and drop" the video files created by the camcorder the videos can be located by drilling down thru the following folders.
    Double click on the removeable disc drive icon to display the root folder of the drive.
    Double click on the [AVCHD] folder
    Double click on the [BDMV] folder.
    Double click on the [STREAM] folder. The video files are located in this folder with a .mts file extension.
    - Depending on the software you are using the file extension may need to be renamed to .m2ts to be useable in your playback or editing software.

    }OK .
    now I am not getting previous errors.
    But now I am getting null pointer exception on clicking the Start button.
    Even the file is created.(56 kb)
    On your advice I displayed the player and filewriter and got following things
    (after clicking start and same even when created in the constructor)
    Data Sink started com.sun.media.datasink.file.Handler@1fdc96c
    Processor started com.sun.media.processor.unknown.Handler@186d4c1If you find something please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.
    This shows that processor is having some problem and cant render. While file is created and the println statement shows Data sink object is working fine.

    2GB DDR533 RAM and a
    500GB Serial ATA-7200 hard drive.
    Running OS X (10.4.9)
    Final Cut Express HD 3.5,
    A Canon XM1 Digital Video Camcorder
    1394 to DV editing cable.
    Now as previously stated, I’ve only just started using Final Cut Express HD, so I’m a novice, consequently I haven’t the foggiest idea what the settings are on the media, much less what the media is? As for the settings in Final Cut, they will be the default setting that were set up when the software was installed, I would imagine. A couple of questions I can answer though, I think? The drive I’m using is the internal HD on the machine and my camcorder connects direct to the firewire port on the Mac via the 1394 editing cable. Another new one on me however, is QT? I’ve always know that to be an abbreviation for “quiet,” but I take it that’s not the case here?
    As for saying my system could be slow, you’re possibly right, it’s a Mac remember.
    Anyhow, thanks for your interest in my problem and I look forward to receiving your reply.

  • Problem capturing video white premiere elements 8

    I have download premiere elements 8 trail ver.and I have the black magic's intensity pro capture and editing card.
    While I tray to capture video  the premiere dose not give me the option to capture directly from the card.
    It  is possible to capture using black magic's software and import the fail bake to premiere.
    Is there an easy way to do so. Is it possible to capture video using premiere elements 8?
    with thanks

    >using black magic's software and import
    If you are able to create a standard DV AVI type 2 file with 16bit 48khz sound, that will import (this is for SD video)
    For HD video, if that is what you are using, you will need to report back what CODEC is used with that card

  • Audio and Video Capture, Live: Problems

    I am trying to do a live capture of a demonstration using a video camera (DV) and a lavalier mic into a Griffin iMic. For speed's sake, I am trying to eliminate the TO TAPE step. I only want to capture. I can just edit the captured clips that way.
    Audio is being picked up through the DV cam, and I cannot seem to force FCP to grab audio from the iMic source... I don't know where to change the audio source. Can someone help me do that? The camera is behind me, and so the sound it picks up is unacceptable.

    That's a good idea.
    This cam ($200 DV refurb Sony) does not have a mic in. I do have another cam with Mic in, but pluging the lav. mic (mono) into it generates a BUZZ on the other channel. So I have tried that, but it requires a lot of post editing.
    My current solution is to record Audio using Sound Studio. I start the audio recording, switch to FCP, start the capture, then smack a couple of sticks together on camera (for my clapper board) and will sync the audio later. Loosk workable. I have two different drives recording data, and the Mac seems to be keeping up (gulp).
    Would LOVE to be able to get FCP to only capture video from the DV cam, and audio from the usb iMic. That would be my fastest record-to-final option.
    Thanks for the ideas.

  • Unable to capture video with MSI StarForce 822 GeForce 3!

    I have a MSI StarForce 822 GeForce3 graphics card with 64 MB DDR SDRAM on it. I have VGA Out, as well as TV-out (AV), TV-out (S-video), and TV-in(?) (S-video).
    This brings me to two questions:
    First, I have NEVER been able to figure out how to use the TV-in (S-video) port. I have tried numerous programs designed to capture video, including the one that came with the graphics card, and none of them recognize the card's TV-in. Do you have any recommendations as to how to use this port to capture video?
    Second, in reading through the online manual for the graphics card on the company's website (under the name G3 Pro-VT64D MS-8822), I saw that the card supposedly has the capability of "High-quality HDTV/DVD playback" (8822 v2.0.pdf, page 8 ). However, in playing back DVD's through the card's s-video output onto my HDTV-ready monitor, I definately do not see HD quality videos. Could explain why this is the case?
    I have an assignment coming up where I must do some video-editing work, and thus I am posed with a situation where I need to capture video using this card (and I can't afford to buy something new for the moment).
    Thanks for your help.

    If you have the Video Capture Driver installed then the video capture program should see it. On MSI site version 1.16 of the driver is available for download.
    If you still have problems (e.g. too many frames lost) you can try using Virtual VCR (worked best in my case).

  • Unable to capture video from VHS through DAC-200

    (Running Final Cut Pro 5.1.4)
    I have a DAC-200 to hook up my VCR to my G5 in order to capture video from VHS tapes into Final Cut. I had this set-up working a few months ago, but it was disconnected to rearrange equipment and now I can't get it working again. I have followed the advice from the DAC-200 installation instructions and advice from other forum topics but can't seem to get it to work. I finally was able to get something in the log and capture window besides "preview disabled" and "cannot capture because there is no video." I now can get Final Cut to capture video, however it only captures a blank black screen (and this is all I can see in the preview window).
    I've triple-checked every cable hook-up, the G5 recognizes the converter box, the video tape plays fine to a tv. I've even had our IT-guy here at work come check out my set-up for help and he can't figure out what is wrong either. (He did get my log&capture window to get white fuzz in the black screen at one point though. Does that mean anything?)
    Any help is greatly appreciated! (I'm happy to answer any other questions too.) Thanks!

    I had difficullty with the X.4.10 plus QT7.2 and put my info on the Forum as well as sending feedback to Apple. Shortly afterwards, Apple brought out a short security update which I downloaded and, hey presto, I was then able to use QT7.2 with OSX.4.10. It may be that you missed out on the later small update to QT7.2..... ? Another factor I found was that some little while later I again had a problem so I again installed QT7.2 and over-installed FCP5.1.4 which has resolved my problems for the time being. Worth a try if you still can't get through on the DAC.
