Color grading controller used in Apple's video?

Hi,
I was watching an "In Action" Final Cut Studio video on Apple's website (the "Euro RSCG" one to be more precise):
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/action/
and I was wondering what Color grading controller was that guy using?

It's a JL Cooper control surface. http://www.jlcooper.com/cgi/index.cgi?home

Anyone tried using the Apple HDMI video adapter with an iPad 2?

Mine doesn't recognise it. This is the second adaptor Apple has provided me with and I had a Genius check out the iPad for me. She recommended a complete reset. This hasn't fixed it. Anyone managed to get HDMI out of their iPad 2?

MacMini, Apple S-Video adapter & 16:9 or 15:9

I just got a new Mac mini (2GHz Core 2 Duo). I use a Apple S-Video adapter to connect a standard-resolution widescreen Sony TV (KLV-30HR3), not having HDMI or DVI capability.
The resolution only offered in the Monitors Control Panel in Leopard 10.5.3 are only 4:3 ratio resolutions (such as 800x600, 1024x768). I tried using DisplayConfigX and SwitchResX to create new display resolutions, but any of the 1280x768 as the TV should accept just result in a black TV screen
Is the Mac Mini able to produce 16:9 or 15:9 ratios over S-video?
Thanks in advance for any clue

Your TV is XGA LCD Panel (1280 x 768)

A counter-intuitive way to find additional resolutions (in this case 1080p vs 1080i), that may or may not be helpful:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7405555#7405555
"The secret is to enable the checkbox that says “Show displays in menu bar”. If you do then, a displays icon appears in the menu bar. Click it to get a drop down menu of all display resolutions. Interestingly, there are now two 1920×1080 options, which are labeled identically. Choose the other one! You’ll now be driving full 1080P..."

Color grading inside FCP using Lab color space? Any plugins?

Hi guys,
Is it possible to color grade footage with Lab color space? I don't think Apple Color supports Lab so I'm hoping there's some other way. Are there any plugins that allow you to do that? If there are no plugins, are there any color grading apps you'd recommend that support Lab?
Thanks for any tips!
Nick

Why use LAB if it doesn't end up in LAB colour space?
I get the comment by a lot of people who don't understand what LAB is
It is kind of like saying how can a print designer do work on a computer monitor when the printed material ends up on paper as cmyk.
Basically you use LAB because you can do things in LAB that you can't do when Editing in CMYK or RGB. (Note Editing - you convert to RGB or CMYK after.)
The main advantage of it as a Tool is that is treats Tone / Luminance (L) independent to colour.
You can ramp up curves without blowing out the image or shifting the colour.
or vice versa you can change the colour without changing the tone.
You can't do this with CMYK or RGB because the tone of the image, the luminance, is embedded into the colour channels.
And you can REALLY ramp things up and still get great looking images.
That makes LAB a great grading tool - for a look that would be unavailable if Editing in CMYK or RGB.
We have print graders using LAB for work that ends up printed as CMYK,
I use LAB for online work that ends up as RGB - in a professional advertising agency.
By device independent I mean that it is at a level higher than CMYK or RGB.
It is not relying on the output device - a monitor, tv screen or printer - to define how the colour is created.
You can do you work in LAB then export it out to CMYK & RGB with very little loss as LAB encompasses both colour spaces and far far more.
That is what makes LAB a powerful colour space.

Trouble Using Apple's Video Adapter

I am having trouble getting my eMac to work with the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter. There are no directions telling you how to use it or to even get it to work. I want to use it to import videos from my Sony Hi8 camcorder and was told by Apple's Live help that this is what I needed to import video and make DVDs. How do I get this adapter to work?

Welcome aboard.
I think the adapter you have is for video output, not input. To input video to the eMac you need a firewire connection. Sony cameras typically have a 4 wire connector which is smaller than the 6 wire plug on the mac, so you need a cable that has a 4 wire connector on one end and a 6 wire connector on the other. Cameras often (but not always) come with such a cable. You also need a digital camcorder- not just Hi8., although Sony does make cameras that will do both. If you camera does not have digital output, you need a convertor box.

Use ipad2 to play video on Apple TV but cannot get the video to play on the iPad even though I change setting without shutting down and restarting the ipad.

I have been using my ipad2 to show video on my flatscreen using the Apple TV. Recently I find that once I use Apple TV I cannot switch back to the ipad for viewing even if I go back to the little rectangular screen and change the checkmark to ipad. Once this happens all my videos will only play through apple tv. If I shut down the ipad and restart it I come up in the ipad mode and can view it on the pad.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Not really sure on this one, but one thought I have is how full is your iPad. Have you connected your iPad to iTunes recently.

How to use iPad airplay for video to Apple TV

This has worked consistently in the past. I use the Amazon Instant Video app on my iPd Air to play a TV epsode, then direct it to the Apple TV

What is the problem now?
What iOS level are you running?
If iOS 7, is the Airplay control visible in the Control Panel (access Control Panel by swiping up from the bottom of the screen)?

I have the app "viPlay" on my iPad and iPhone. Is there any way that it could be available for the Apple TV? I'd like to access my personal videos from my hard drive using the Apple TV through the 'viPlay' app.

Just bought Apple TV. Our Hi Def TV only has S Video or RCA outlets. Can we use the Apple TV?

Just bought Apple TV. Our high def tv only has S Video or RCA connectors. Can we use the Apple TV? Thanks

Apple TV only supports HDMI. It doesn't sound like it is an HDTV, even if you use an adapter there is no guarantee it would work and even then you would not be able to watch HDCP content (i.e. iTunes, Netflix etc).
If the TV is not widescreen and/or doesn't support at least 720P you will also have issues around that.

Video streamed from YouTube using the Apple Composite AV Cable

I used to have video streamed from YouTube on my iPad to my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cable, this was in previous versions till the iOS 6 release, then YouTube no longer streams video through this cable :'(
Very annoying really to miss a feature through a software upgrade!
Please help me.

Looks like the connector that goes into the iPad doesn't precisely connect all pins and lock the whole thing in place as well as we would think an Apple-branded product would. I discovered after four hours that if I pull my AV composite cable from the iPad without turning the iPad off (not the Apple recommended way - perhaps there's a better way, like replugging with it off?) and plugging it back in, *poof* I get video again. Now, Netflix still isn't working, but U-Tubes and photo slideshows are back with awesome-quality sound. I believe I'll get similar results when I try this on my iPhone 4.
I guess Apple TV is really the only way to get the luxury back of being able to stay focused on your entertainment and not this equipment because this was spozed to be a movie nite for me four hous ago. I just wish Apple TV had as much content as the Roku.
Anyway, just plug and re-plug, but don't be too hard on it. You might also have to turn widescreen off and back on again.

Is there a way to mirror your monitor to your tv using the apple composite cable instead to just stream your video in specific situations?

Hello,
i bought the composite video cable out for the ipad and i want to know if there is a way to mirror the ipad monitor instead to just transmit video in specific sittuations. The same to my iphone.
I know that there is a way to do it in jailbreak ipads or iphones (using a app, but don't want to do it).

Thanks Dave. When I read the manuals they did not communciate this point this clearly.
Use one of these to connect iPad to a TV or projector:
Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cableÂÂ
Apple Component AV CableÂÂ
Apple Composite AV CableÂÂ
Apple VGA AdapterÂÂ
If you use the Apple Digital AV Adapter or the Apple Component AV Cable, high-resolution videos are shown in HD quality. Apple cables are available for purchase in many countries. Go to www.apple.com/store.
With iPad 2, when the cable is connected to a TV or projector, the iPad screen is automatically mirrored on the external display in up to 1080p resolution, and videos play at a maximum resolution of 720p. Some apps such as Keynote may use the external display as a second video monitor. With previous iPad models, only certain applications (including YouTube, Videos, and Photos) use the external display.

i use 2 apple 2nd generation tvs, on mulity speakers, computer and 2 tvs have audio but only one has video, why does the video not play on all at the same time

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not entirely sure whether you're asking if it should or why it doesn't. To cover the first point it isn't supposed to, so your set up is working correctly.
As to why not I'm not absolutely sure, it isn't a bandwidth restriction as whilst I can't be certain that all our 6 Apple TVs have all been streaming video at the same time (when initiated from the Apple TV), I believe at least 4 have on occasions. So I imagine it's another technical limitation that I'm not aware of, perhaps it's a synchronisation problem, who knows.

Why I can't see Apple website videos on Samsung tablet? Used many browsers, same result...

I could not find a website issues community and this one was the closest I could find. If this needs to be moved to a different community, please do so.
I realize it's cross platforms, but web browsing should be the same for everyone, no matter what device is used.
I can watch Apple website videos just fine on Windows/Chrome browser (or IE, Firefox) but can't on Samsung Android/Chrome browser (also tried Firefox, Opera, Samsung browser).
Other websites embedded videos are working (i.e. youtube, vimeo, forums etc.) so far it is only the Apple website embedded videos that are not working.
Any idea why?

If it's any help, here is what Samsung Support says:
Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.

Alberto: Hello, I understand that you want to see apple website videos on Samsung tablet, is it correct?
Alex: correct
Alberto: Thank you for the confirmation.
Alberto: What is the model number of your tablet? It starts with GT/SM which can be found on the rear panel.
Alex: Don't have it with me but it's the Tab S 8.4
Alex: Same goes for my phone, Galaxy S5
Alberto: Okay,Do you see any error message while browsing?
Alex: nope, no error, it just won't play any video on apple website, ALL other websites videos are plaing OKare
Alex: playing Ok is what I meant
Alex: and this is the same for my tablet AND my phone
Alex: devices are updated to the latest software bla, bla
Alberto: Alright, please restart the tablet once.
Alex: scale of 1 to 10 on tech advance level, I am at 7-8, just so you don't take me through power recycle and such
Alex: you just did
Alex: it's not that
Alberto: Could you give me a few minutes while I gather the information for you?
Alex: you can grab a galaxy tablet or a phone and try for yourself and yo'll probably notice it won't work...
Alberto: I appreciate your time and patience.
Alberto: As you are able to see other website's embedded videos on your tablet, it could be an issue with the compatibility of Apple website.
Alberto: There should be no issue with the trablet as other websites are working fine.
Alex: Can you transfer me to your Guru tech person to see if I can get a more elaborate answer and maybe a fix for this?
Alex: Then why the apple videos work fine on windows PC and the ONLY ones not working are Android devices?
Alberto: I have rechecked the information.
Alberto: As you are facing an issue only with a particular web site there should not be issue with the Samsung tablet.
Alberto: Also tablet is working fine with other web sites which indicates that there is an issue with that particular web site.
Alberto: There is no separate setting on the tablet to access any particular web site.
Alex: This much I figured, problem is what is causing it and how it can be solved? Again, issue is only on Android devices. PC Windows and iOS devices work good
Alberto: I am afraid; Samsung do not have information about the issues with a particular web site.
Alberto: I would have surely helped, if there had been information available with me.
Alex: Yes, I was afraid you'll say this...
Alex: Do you have an android device there? Try it yourself and see it will not work. Whatever it is IT IS A PROBLEM!!!
Alberto: I understand your requirement; however, it will not be possible for me to check this from here.
Alberto: You need to contact the web site support for further assistance.
Alberto: Is there anything I might be able to assist you with?
Alex: yeah, it went as expected, no fix for this... do you have a level 2 or 3 or 4 tech there?
Alberto: I will transfer this chat to my supervisor.
Alberto: Please be online while I transfer this chat.
Alex: sure, thanks
Alberto: Not a problem.

Alex: Ok, thanks
Sammy: You are welcome.
Sammy: I appreciate your time and patience.
Sammy: I see that you are unable to access Apple website videos on your tab.
Alex: and on my S5
Sammy: As you are able to access the videos from all the other web sites, it is not an issue with Samsung tab and Samsung do not have any control on this issue.
Sammy: It is an issue with that particular web site and you need to contact the web site support for further assistance.
Sammy: There is no separate setting on the tab to access a particular web site.
Alex: Yes, I need to do that. At this point it's the technical aspect that bothers me, not that I can't watch the video, I can use my iPhone or my PC to watch the video, but why the Android can't?
Alex: Thank you Alberto
Alex: or Sammy
Sammy: I understand your requirement; however, we do not have any information about this issue.
