Down Convert Captures from Z1, with Kona Lhe, and Firewire

Hi Everybody!
Ok here is another question, I am capturing with my Kona LHe,and also with firewire in FCP 6. When capture with my kona I cant get a full screen in the 525i mode? what is the best setting to capture DVCPRO50? for DVD using the Kona? I ran a bunch of test and I could seem to get a full screen capture using the Kona, but only with DVCPRO HD codec. Should I just capture with firewire instead? if so which codec in "Easy Setup"? I am also getting another Cal Duo, that will give me to , to "strip" together for more speed as Caldigit said it will work just fine. I ran some test with different codecs using ProRes 422 settings, also, and the HDV captures, with the sequence settings look real impressive all the way through DVDSP to my Sony HDTV in SD, and also the DVCPRO HD, captured from the KONA, looked fabulous too., Your thoughts and imput are all greatly welcome!
Thank you All, Tim C.

use the SDI DVCPRO50 kona card setting for NTSC if the player has SDI and after capturing it in fcp use compressor to convert as a DVD 30 or 60 etc or use DVD studio pro for authoring and building DVD's ?

Audio unsynced with video when capturing analog HD with Kona LHe card!

Hey,
This is kind of an emergency because i am in the process of logging a feature film. I am using the Kona LHe card to capture analog audio and video with the JVC BR-HD50 HDV deck. It is 720p24 HDV footage converted to analog DVCProHD 720p59.94 footage through the Kona. My issue is that the audio is about 4 or 5 seconds unsycned with the video...I am also getting some audio popping. The audio sounds fine when listening through the line mixer but it pops when i play back though FCP. I already contacted AJA (the makers of Kona) and they its a FCP problem...Any prompt help would be greatly appreciated...

Welcome to the forums!
What version of FCP are you running? If you can, get to the most current version as this solves a lot of issues with the DVCPRO HD codec.
And have you read this whitepaper?

Can I capture a picture with my ipad, and save it as a PNG and/or SVG file to a specific folder?

Can I capture a picture with my ipad, and save it as a PNG and/or SVG file to a specific folder?

Kind of, sort of. (You can't save as SVG, but you can export as PNG.) PS Touch projects themselves are self-contained UNTIL they are exported, and even then they'll get exported to a specific location. (e.g., To the Camera Roll or Gallery/Photos, to Creatve Cloud, etc.)
The procedure would be to start a new project using the "add image" icon (looks like a landscape with a plus sign, in the lower right in the project selection user interface) > Camera. Take your picture, then PS Touch will bring you to the editing user interface. Edit your image as appropriate.
Go back out to the project selection user interface by tapping the back arrow in the upper left to save. You can then export the project using the export icon (5th icon from the upper right).

Edit to tape with Kona Lhe

At work tomorrow, I have to lay a 59.94 sequence on to a DVCPRO HD deck with no firewire option. So I'm using my Kona Lhe with SDI output and deck control. A couple things to ponder... Audio and Video ARE getting to the deck through the SDI. I am able to crash record with no problem. I am able to black and code the tape. No problem there. I black the tape from 58:30 to shortly past 1 hour, 30 seconds. I set my "In Point" to 59:00, but when I go to assemble record the sequence, the "Insert", "Assemble", and "Preview" drop zones are disabled. We tried an SR deck and the drop zones were working, but when it went to start the edit to tape, it rewound the deck all the way to the beginning of the tape and then sat there. Tried every possible combination of device preferences. I gotta figure this out if I want to work here again. Patrick, I'm looking in your direction.

This guy was trying to do the same thing:
http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/923999?pview=t#head
But...you don't have ASSEMBLE as an option? And you are dragging the sequence from the browser into the EDIT TO TAPE window, right?

Converting slideshow from iphoto with itune playlist as background music

I have created a slideshow in iphoto with an itune playlist as the background music and when I convert it throught quicktime into a movie it only plays the first song from the playlist. All photos look good in the slide. This problem has started since I upgraded to quicktime 7.4. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have created slideshows with music before and converted them through quicktime with no trouble. I can't figure this one out?? Thank you

David,
I am sorry! I thought I was giving a solved to both of you. I was just playing around with fotomagico tonight. I love it...for $49. I know I have alot of posts and should be familiar with the solved thing. But most of my posts involve when I first started with Macs three years ago. I should have been more carefull. Non-the-less you were considerate enough to take your time out to help me. Much appreciated!
Some people on this FCP site are very critical of newbies often criticizing rather than helping. I rarely post here because of that.
I am a old time photographer (still have my darkroon stuff) who wants to get into a bit more of the film thing. Hence FCP. But what a learning curve! Mind you it is easier than Photoshop! (Now that's a learning curve coming from a film/darkroom guy).
Thanks again.

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.

Image Capture from iPhone to OS X and File Permissions

Hello. I'm running Lion 10.7.3 and have an iPhone 4S and iPad 2. When I use the Image Capture app to transfer pictures and videos from my devices to OS X it works great with the exception of one problem. Every file that it copies over ends up with permissions of:
(Me): Read & Write
everyone: No Access
This is problematic because when my wife is logged into her profile or anyone else tries to view these files via shared folders, they can't see them. I'm putting them into a folder I created on "Macintosh HD". The folder that they are in has permission of:
(Me): Read & Write
wheel: Read only
everyone: Read only
Each time I import I suppose I could drop into Terminal and run a command to fix the issues but there must be a better way.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Got a solution using Automator.
Create a workflow like:
This is an Image Capture Plugin. When you open Automator select Image Capture as the type of workflow and select these two actions.
Copy Finder Items will take the image from Image Capture and copy to your disk. Select the folder you want the image to go to in the To: pulldown. You should select the /Users/Shared folder and any subfolder you wish. I made a folder named Images.
In the second action make sure Pass Input: is set to as arguments and then add the chmod 644
Then exit Automator giving the workflow a name. In Image Capture you should see the workflow you just created
in the Import To: pulldown. Select it. Now when you import the fiels wil be copied to the folder you specified and the permissions will be set to 644 rw for you r for everyone else.
good luck. post back if you have any questions.
(and this is in the Lion list so my question about Aperture above is meaningless! )

Waking from sleep with no battery and no keyboard action

Hi there,
Since this unfortunate battery recall, I'm now running my PB with no battery (as recommended) i.e. just the power supply. I have my PB configured to prompt for a password when waking from sleep, which it does. However my keyboard does not appear to be responsive for several seconds.
Here are my steps:
1. Close the lid. PB goes to sleep.
2. Open the lid. PB wakes up and prompts me for my password.
The mouse cursor via the trackpad is responsive immediately. However attemping to type in the password field does not yield anything. The PB then automatically goes back to sleep. I can then wake it again with the keyboard and start typing.
The really weird thing is that with the battery installed, I do not have this keyboard issue i.e. my keyboard input is accepted immediately on the first wake up.
I have reset PRAM but to no avail. Any ideas? I'd rather not live with this behaviour while I'm waiting for my new battery.
Kind regards,
Christopher

Hi Chris,
You will be pleased to know your not the only one experiencing this issue. Like yourself I am now running my Powerbook without the battery and have noticed that when waking from sleep both my keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for several seconds.
This also happened to my friends 867Mhz Powerbook when he was having battery problems. It would seem they just dont like being run without batteries installed.

Linux-ck kernel from AUR with GCC optimisation and got Kernel panic

I have been using the linux-ck patched kernel from the AUR for the last few weeks https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/Linux-ck/
I decided I would try to compile it with the gcc optimised patch as well. https://github.com/graysky2/kernel_gcc_patch
I have a laptop using the intel i7-4712MQ CPU which I understand is part of the Haswell family.
I downloaded the tarball from the AUR, extracted it, I edited the PKGBUILD, to enabe the nconfig and also the BFQ scheduler, ran makepkg -s enabled the patch for Haswell chip family and saved it as .config and carried on building the kernel as normal, then installed the resulting packages with pacman -U kernel and the header and then rebooted.
on boot I received a failed to execute /init error 8 and no working init found, I fell back to using the default Arch Kernel and can also rebild the linux-ck patched kernel as normal with the GCC optimisation patch with no problems, but I want to understand what I did wrong when applying the GCC patch and fix it, if there is another log I can get please let me know and I will post it.
I know it is not the new version of the Kernel as I had built version 3.19-1 it without the gcc optimisation patch successfully on Friday
Thanks
Rob

This is not very clear. What do you mean you carried on building the kernel after running makepkg -s? Makepkg -s builds the packages, any configuration you make after that command is not applied to the built packages.
after running makepkg -S it came up with the menu to select different options for the kernel, so I arrowed to Processor type and features ---> Processor family ---> and found Intel Haswell, selected that and saved it by pressing f5 it saved to a file called .config and it started building the kernel
robt77 wrote:on boot I received a failed to execute /init error 8 and no working init found
Then the kernel loaded just fine - init failed. Did you (re)build an initramfs for the new kernel? What is the bootloader command used for this kernel?
44
I did not buikd ab initramfs, I have always just had to download the tar ball from AUR, extract it , then run makepkg -s and then install the packages with pacman -U and reboot.
Here is a link to the bootloader command from grub http://hastebin.com/roweqocuqi.vala

Fans Running Fast And Loud With Kona LHe Card Installed?

Hi,
I have a Power Mac G5 Quad, and it makes noise with fan kicking on after it goes to the sleep mode?

Convert rtf to pdf with good font and sharp images

I can convert rtf to pdf in Microsoft Word (2004) using the Print function but the resulting document doesn't maintain the same font and the images look a bit hinky as a result.
I tried to convert from rtf to pdf in Acrobat 9 but it sez unsupported file type.
I just want a really clean conversion that keeps the images sharp and the fonts looking good. Am I out of luck?
