Does Elements 9 or 10 allow direct to hard drive recording

Could someone please tell me if Premiere Elements 9 or  10 allows one to hook up a mini dv camera, such as a Canon GL2, and record direct to the hard drive of a Mac?
Thank you

If I understand what you are looking to do - real time recording to the computer's HDD, with a direct feed from the camera (not going to tape, or flash memory), then I think that you will need PrPro with the included OnLocation program.
Now, if I have misunderstood exactly what you want, please ignore the above suggestion.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Tiger randomly stopped allowing my External Hard drive to mount and...

    Hello, I have been using an External Hard Drive (1 terabyte Seagate, new) for a couple months if not a year by now for saving movies, and all of my iTunes on it. Its been working wonderfully. However it recently stopped being able to mount citing invalid hard drive and gives me the options of either eject, ignore, or initialize. Im not sure what to do. And also my computer has been acting funny every since the day it started. I will walk you through it step by step.
    July 6th I was surfing the web and unfortunetly clicked on a link that aparently contained a trojan. Or atleast thats what my Antivirus notified me of. I had downloaded the trojan some how without a pop up or anything telling me I was downloading anything. (using safari) So i ran a virus scan and saw one virus was in my system and that it couldnt be deleted or repaired by my antivirus program, Im working on getting rid of that but at the time I had my Seagate 1 terabyte external hard drive attached via fire wire to my Macbook. It was working then.
    Later that day I unplugged my hard drive and took my laptop around a little bit, nothing unusual. Then when i came back later that night I tried plugging in my hard drive and a pop up stated that the hard drive was unable to mount and I could either eject, ignore, or initilize. I tried may different routes, restarting, letting it all rest, etc. And in Disk Utility i try to verify the disc and it says its unable to and needs repairs. So I try repairing the disc and it says unable to due to an error.
    Then yesterday I went to my applications and noticed none of my applications are there anymore. These applications were saved on the internal hard drive so it was very odd to me. However i can still use spotlight to find and open my apps.
    My question is, What can I do to allow my external hard drive to mount? I dont figure it is the trojan on my system but could it be? If so how would I fix it? Im mostly worried about getting the data off the external hard drive then I can reformat it. Or if theres a way to just get it back to normal without reformatting Id love to hear it. As for the applications missing and the trojan on my internal hard drive I can fix that, at the very least Ill just reboot my system with my original OS Disc and just start fresh, its about time anyways.
    But please. If anyone has ever had their external hard drive just stop mounting and figured out what to do I would be ever so grateful to hear how you did so. The hard drive itself isnt damaged, its not making any unusual sounds. Whenever i plug it into the computer it acts like normal (turning on and what not) until the computer tells me it cannot mount then nothing happens. Ive looked online and it seems to be a software issue.
    If its any help I was downloading a torrent (.avi, no viruses) at the time. I know sometimes if one file on the hard drive becomes corrupt the whole thing becomes unusable. Regardless I would appreciate it if anyone knows a way to at the very least retreive the files on the drive, but preferably know how to just get it back to normal. If i could get it to force mount (via terminal or something) I know which file would possibly be the corrupt one or something so I could work with it.

    Bejan:
    Thanks for posting back with the pics of the messages from your computer. Disk Utility reports "Underlying task reported failure" when repairing a volume is a directory error which cannot be repaired by Disk Utility. Unfortunately, Disk Warrior may not be able to replace the rebuilt directory, either. Tech Tool Pro has a better chance of repairing it, although this particular directory issue can be stubborn, and is often rooted in a hardware issue. Your surest bet is to backup/clone the information on the HDD using a utility like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, completely reformat and erase the HDD (directions below), then restore data from backup.
    Formatting, Partitioning Erasing an External HDD
    • Connect external HDD to computer
    • Turn on external HDD
    • Start up computer and log in
    • Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and launch DU.
    • Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.

  • I am reinstalling Photoshop Elements 7 on my computer after my hard drive died.

    I am reinstalling Photoshop Elements 7 on my computer after my hard drive died.  I found a download page on adobe's website for the software and installed.  Install went fine but when I entered the serial number I received from my original e-bay purchase the software said it wasn't valid.

    No, I am using the serial number from the original e-mail that I received when I bought the software.  I don't think I ever registered the serial number, how would I check?

    You were told wrong. Apple considers the hard drive and RAM to be user-replaceable parts. If they didn't, they wouldn't provide instructions for changing them yourself.
    What type of HDD would you reccomend me purchasing? Looking to get something 750GB+
    I favor Seagate. Others have different preferences. Avoid so-called "green" drives.

  • Capture directly to Hard Drive?

    "Log and Capture" would seem to allow me to capture directly from my HDV cameras using the "Capture [Now]" button. However this only works if there is a tape in the camera (else the capture only lasts for a fraction of a second).
    Is it possible to capture from an HDV camera directly onto a Mac's hard drive, thus not having capture durations limited by the length of a video tape?

    hbars, thanks for pointing out internal drive too slow and may drop frames. that is good to know.
    i've previously captured direct to HD on a Dell laptop with a typical 7200 RPM internal drive. it may be my HDV does not have a particularly fast bitrate... it is still about 13 MB/sec of MPEG-2 (is only 720p).
    since picking up a MacBook I'd like to try the exact same thing on the Mac. Sync may certainly be an issue, but I'm trying this because some live performances last longer than 60 (or 90) minutes. to switch tapes i lose coverage from this angle.
    so I've found with a PC this approach seems to work, no lost frames, no sync issue. and I expect FCP can do it too, I just haven't found to proper settings. even if it drops frames and is out of sync, I would be very curious to see how many frames drop and how far out of sync things get.
    if someone could verify that yes, they themselves have captured HDV from a camera direct to their Mac without using any tape then at least I'd know I'm not chasing the impossible.

  • Elements 11 will not properly import from hard drive video of 352 x 480.  Audio is fine.

    Hello All,  I'm wanting to import VHS video that was burned to a DVD.  Frame size is 352 x 480.  Elements shows it, even after rendering, as very distorted video on the monitor panel.  Audio is fine. Anybody here have an idea how to conform my video to the Project?

    alexmorgan43
    Thank you for the reply.
    (Note: It would be better also to know...frame rate and progressive or interlaced video...NTSC or PAL setup...but for now....with some assumptions...
    Although I have never run into a DVD-VIDEO video file with the 352 x 480 (4:3) resolution, it does exist apparently.
    DVD-Video - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    From my perspective, if your client's goal is DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc for this source, I do not see that Premiere Elements (any version)
    is going to produce a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc with video files 352 x 480 (4:3). It will give you (NTSC) 720 x 480 4:3 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second
    or (PAL) 720 x 576 4:3 @ 25 interlaced frames per second.
    If your client can settle for your 352 x 480 (4:3) source exported to a file saved to the computer hard drive, then Premiere Elements 11 can give you a MPEG2.mpg
    file with a 352 x 480 4:3 resolution.
    But, assuming the NTSC DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc workflow....with Frame Width = 480 pixels and Frame Height = 352 pixels...But if this is really portrait rather than
    landscape oriented video, then we have other considerations not mentioned below....and I suspect we may be going in that direction...the answers will be in the details...
    1. Open Premiere Elements 11 to the Expert workspace. Go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
    2. In Change Setting, select
    NTSC
    FLIP
    Flip Mino and Ultra 29_97p
    OK out of there. In the New Project dialog that next appears,
    make sure that you have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Settings on This Project. OK out of there.
    3. Back in the Expert workspace, import your VTS_02_1.VOB using the project's Add Media/Files and Folders to get
    the file into Projects Assets from where it is dragged to the Timeline.
    (Typically the DVD-VIDEO's video files start with VTS_01_1.VOB, but not always. This may be one of those not always times. Just
    check that your video is represented in those video files (VTS_).
    4. Edit, Add Menu if you want.
    5. Publish+Share/Disc/DVC disc with preset NTSC_Dolby DVD for the NTSC DVD-VIDEO Standard 4:3 on DVD disc
    @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second.
    6. Moment of truth...what does that look like on your TV's DVD player.
    Please review and consider and then we can fine tune if my assumptions did not meet your actual details.
    Thanks.

  • Capturing Video Direct to hard drive with FCS

    I am using a Canon HX A1 and I am wondering if there is any way of capturing video directly to a hard drive while shooting without using Adobe On Location. Does FC have any functionality in this area or is there any other MAC friendly apps that do this?

    You can capture a live feed with FCE, FCP, QT Pro and several other applications. Connect your camera via Firewire, in FCP, set Device Control to ":Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now.
    NOTE: whenever using a Canon device for capturing of any type, it would be best to make sure that the Canon device is on it's own Firewire bus. You can achieve this by adding a Firewire card (thereby creating a new FW bus) or by capturing only to an internal hard drive.

  • Does mountain lion run on iMac 10 1 hard drive

    I have an iMac 10 1 that needs a new hard drive. It is currently running OS 10.6.8. I'm trying to decide whether to replace the hard drive, which is failing, or to just replace the machine. Key consideration is whether I can get this computer to run Mountain Lion and therefore become more compatible with my brand-new MacBook. I don't know that much about hard drives and chips and operating systems, or whether I would need to replace some other components in the iMac in order to run Mountain Lion. In which case, I would just get a new iMac.

    You can upgrade to Mavericks (not Mountain Lion) if your machine meets the requirements:
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Does OS X 10.4.5 have a  Hard Drive Size Limitation in a PowerBook G4?

    I just read about the new Seagate Momentus 5400.3 (Perpendicular Recording) 160GB 2.5" ATA-6 Notebook Hard Drive. It seems pretty cool the way it records and uses less space than standard hard drives.
    My question is: In a PowerBook 12" 1.5 GHz PPC G4, running Tiger OS X 10.4.5, will it see the 160 GB HD? Will it see all, or most of it as calculated by Apple's OS? Or will it be restricted to a much lower number. I have a 100 GB Hard drive in it now and it is almost full (I have a few GB's left only) and I need the extra space. Anyone know if it will work as an internally installed replacement drive?
    I know it is not supported, but I need the space. Thanks.
    PowerBook 12" 1.5 GHz PPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
    PowerBook G4 12" 1.5 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    It's not something in it, it is the way it handles data.
    From the (Seagate) site: "To increase areal densities in longitudinal recording and boost overall storage capacity,the data bits must be shrunk and packed more closely together.However,if the bit becomes too small,the magnetic energy holding the bit in place may also become so smallthat thermal energy can cause it to demagnetize,a phenomenon known as superparamagnetism.
    To avoid superparamagnetism,disc media manufacturers have been increasing the coercivity (the field required to write a bit) of the media. However,the fields that can be applied are limited by the magnetic materials making up the write head.In perpendicular recording,the magnetization of the disc,instead of lying in the disc’s plane as it does in longitudinal recording, stands on end, perpendicular to the plane of the disc. The bits are then represented as regions of upward- or downward-directed magnetization.
    (In longitudinal recording,the bit magnetization lies in the plane of the disc and flips between pointing in the same and opposite directions of the head movement.) The media is deposited on a soft magnetic underlayer that functions as part of the write field return path and effectively produces an image of the recording head that doubles the recording field,enabling higherrecording density than with longitudinal recording."
    I don't see how this can be something that is not able to be formatted by any system. All other drives are universal and can be formatted. It is the interface that changes.
    An article on Seagates site states that other manufacturers are coming out with perpendicular drives. Can anyone think of a reason why it wouldn't be OS X compatable?
    As to the comment by the first reply as to this being a samll size for OS X, I agree, but this is the biggest 2.5" NoteBook Drive offered to date. And there is rumor of a 200GB model coming down the pipe. These drives could really help our PowerBooks realize there potential if they could be installed in our platforms giving them real storage capacity.
    Thank you for your reply's, your insight is greatly appreciated.

  • Recording direct to hard drive.

    Note: I did search the archives first.
    How can I record video direct from a camera to the hard drive? I have both iMovie 08 and iMovie HD 06. Assuming that I can does a miniDV tape (in my case) still need to be used in the camera?
    Thank you.

    Hi Geoff - you will probably find that to establish the connection between your camera and iMovie, you will need to have a tape temporarily installed. Once connection has been made, the tape can be removed and the direct recording can then proceed.

  • Does the time capsule act as an external hard drive too?

    I haven't got the time capsule but I'm thinking about getting it but I want to know does it Work as an external hard drive too, so can you store things like music files and things on there and access them anytime?

    It cannot be plugged in via usb.. only by ethernet.. so it is not really external hard disk.. it is network storage but not a NAS.. it is designed purely as a target for Time Machine backups.. primarily for laptops with wireless only connections.. eg MBA as they do not have ethernet.
    As a place to store files the TC can be pressed into service but is really poor in having no automated method to back itself up.. and they do die which leaves them a sealed unit which Apple refuse to fix or open even to recover your data.
    Buy a NAS from any of the major companies.. if you want Network storage..
    Buy a USB drive from any of the major companies if you want something to plug into your computer for storage.
    TC is neither.. arthur or martha.

  • Does it void my warranty to upgrade the hard drive and ram in a MacBook?

    Recently a new store in my local mall called Peachmac opened. They do repairs and upgrades. I went there to see about a hard drive and RAM upgrade. They told me if I do it myself, it voids the warranty. I have about 8 months of Apple care left on my Mac and don't want to loose it. My real question is does it void your warranty even though the instruction booklet specifically tells you how to do it? The reason I'm wondering this is because they want $69 an hour plus money for parts. They quoted around $125-$150 (for a 500GB HD and 4GB of RAM). Is this an ok deal? Or should I go for an SSD? I saw Crucial was doing a bundle for a 128GB SSD and 4GB of RAM at my local CompUSA. Which one is a better deal? Thanks!

    If you replace the memory, it doesn't void your warranty, but the warranty will be voided if you replace the hard drive

  • Does this sound like I need a new hard drive for iPod?

    I have an 15GB 3rd generation iPod (4 buttons across top) and now i'm having some major issues. I have to restore constantly and even after a successful restore (which takes about 6-8 tries to keep the restore from freezing) it'll update songs on iTunes if I relaunch the Finder and only if I do that. The hard drive has a clicking noise whenever it's trying to connect to my computer. I'm assuming the clicking is a bad hard drive. Does that sound like it could be the case?

    Thanks. I've tried partitioning and erasing the hard drive a couple times. Once in a while it succeeds in erasing the data and then I can attempt a restore but usually the iPod causes Disk Utility to freeze and I have to force quit or manually disconnect my iPod. After I successfully erased the data my restore attempts are usually unsuccessful anyway. The clicking still occurs and I usually have to try restoring about 3-6 times with various iPod Updaters before I get one that will restore completely. Even after that I can't re-connect my iPod to the computer without having to relaunch the finder.
    I might have to look into an iPod Video or Nano

  • How can I capture live HD video direct to hard drive?

    Hello,
    My goal is to be able to capture 1080p video from a camcorder direct to the hard drive of a mac. Space is a concern, so ideally this would capture directly to a Mac Mini, but if the only option is to upgrade to a Mac Pro or MacBook Pro (for Thunderbolt), I may be able to work with that. What I know about so far are the offerings from Black Magic:
    1) The H.264 pro recorder: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/h264prorecorder/
    2) and the Ultra Studio 3D: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/ultrastudio3d/
    With the first option, I'm worried about the quality. Ultra Studio 3D is very expensive ($1000) and would require upgrading to a MacBook Pro for Thunderbolt, but I'm open to that if it is the only way to get full 1080p quality.
    I also have read about an app in the Firewire SDK called DHS cap. I haven't been able to try this since the cameras I have access do not have Firewire, but if people have had success with that, then I can purchase a camera that can connect through Firewire.
    The last thing I've read about is Capture Magic HD. I would like to test this as well, but it appears the developers are out of business (their website is down), and i cannot find the software anywhere.
    Any advice about the best way to go about this would be greatly appreciated. I've been googling away and searching forums for days now.

    Really?  You've never opened up the capture window?
    Never since about CS2.
    I have had a tapeless workflow for ever... so never had reason to even take a look at the Capture Window in later versions of Premiere.

  • Run GAME CD/DVD direct from hard drive

    How do I load and run my kid's games directly from the hard drive on their MAC? My kids are young but pretty good with their MAC. However they are brutal on the CD/DVDs (scratch them, etc.) I would love to run the games from the hard drive via icon from desktop. Just like the game demos in the Apple store!
    Thanks in advance!

    You can sometimes create an image with Disk Utility. But some games are copy protected preventing that. I found that to be the case with Simcity 4.
    P.S. Mac is not an acronym. Please read this tip:
