External Video Question

Hello.
I am presently using a Sony DVMC-DA2 as an external converter to allow me to see and hear my FCP footage on an external monitor. Is there a setting in FCPHD that would allow me to SEE my footage on my external monitor yet HEAR the footage on the speakers that I have connected to my computer itself (as opposed to the speakers on the television monitor)?
Any help, as always, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you much in advance,
Javier Calderon

Thank you for the suggestion, Zeb. At this point, I would ask to be (or continue to be) educated on this subject, because, the way I'm presently seeing it, it doesn't seem to be as much of a recipe for disaster. Here I am certainly not trying to be difficult, as I really don't want to make this project any more arduous than it's already been. However, it seems that the worst that can happen is that, in forgetting to "reset" my sync, the project would simply play back off sync when I view the video and audio on my external monitor. Upon noticing such, I would simply move my entire video clip -5 frames and that should do it, right?
I mean, of course, if I were to master or burn a thousand dvd's PRIOR to taking a look at the entire project video and audio on an external monitor, then that WOULD seem to be quite a risky maneuver. I've been toggling the sound back and forth between my speakers and the monitor itself, however, so I'd say (knock on wood) that I don't think I'll forget to shift everything back.
All the same, I'm sure I may be missing something quite vital that you or X (or anyone else) may make me aware of.
Thank you in advance.

Problem With External Video

I am currently running Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 on OS X 10.4.8. I am having some serious issues trying to get Final Cut to display the timelines video out to my TV. I have my Canon GL2 connected via FireWire, and set it up so the DV input plays as the audio/video. It then goes out to the TV via some standard RCA jacks. I have done this before, no problem.
The settings are as follows:
External Video: All Frames
Video Playback: Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480)
Audio Playback: Audio Follows Video
Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
Device Control Preset: FireWire NTSC Basic
If I turn the camera off, the output shows it as 'missing'. I can import using the camera so I know its connected correctly with the FireWire. I can see playback on the TV if I watch the tape, so I know that too is connected correctly.

Its funny you should reply, I was just looking through my posts, and was reading a response you left months ago when I asked a question, then I came back to this post and there you were again! Thanks, I fiddled with the camera for a bit and finally did something to get it to show up. Marked as solved.

Frozen when view on external video monitor HELP

Hi everyone, I have just finished my biggest project in 3 months. Thankx for all your helps & I love the MULTICAM feature very much.
Now i'm on the second project. This project was shot on DigiBeta PAL.
To make it short: does anyone has a frozen picture as they play it out to the external video monitor for the uncompress 10bit file?
3months ago when I digitized in as uncompress 10bit , fcp play out to external monitor FINE, including the multicam feature.
However, since I need to work with 10cam at the same time, I have to capture in as DV (my source was DVCAM) so fcp can play all 10cam in multiclip mode. everything went perfect.
TOday, I capture my sources both NTSC & PAL, they can only play in the mac monitor but not the external video monitor. feeding out to external monitor make the clips freeze. the picture is frozen but the audio still playing.
My drives are fast enough since we had been working with these MEDEA drives for years.
thank you so much.

thankx for all your helps but I had tried all those before I post the question. I'm no newbie. It must be FCP's bug. I trashed the pref & select 8bit instead of 10bit for viewing, & it play ok for single clip. On multiclip, it shutter alittle bit. Maybe I need to reinstall fcp. Don't know yet.
thankx

Imac iSight external video adapter

My original display on the iMac iSight is damaged. I noticed the external video port and may I assume that I could use it to run it that way. But the problem is figuring which adapter to use. Somewhere is mentioned PN M9321 G/A and PN 9320 G/A but when I go to the store to purchase it it does not say that it is suitable for my PPC iMac. It does say that is suitable for intel I Mac. If anyone would please let me know what is to do.
Thanks in advance

After a search in two different directions, I found some information on what may be the correct VGA adapter for mirroring the internal display to an external; a page link and a product number. Appears to be obsoleted, but a call to Apple (main online store, or local Apple Store) should let you know if you'll be looking for used online, etc. Could be there is a new part number for this, or perhaps some authorized reseller has old stock? or a lucky find.
The adapter in question probably fit a few different models of that vintage, so someone online may have one if it truly is obsoleted. Some look similar but do not work the same.
•iMac G5 (iSight) Technical Specifications:

Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

External Video: Is dual output possible?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there's a way to get Final Cut to send external video to more than one source at a time? Like, for example, through the Digital Cinema Desktop Preview & a Blackmagic card at once.
Sorry for the odd question, it's a suite setup my boss is working on. I'd be very grateful for a yay or a nay.

You can't do DCP and output to a capture card at the same time. You have to choose one or the other. BUT, the capture card can send the signal to more than one device...so SDI to one, Composite to another, HDMI to another...

What is AS for playing external video ?

Hello,
This is probably very basic question, but that just proves
the fact that I struggle with AS. I would like to place a thumbnail
picture on my web page, which would take the viewer ( when he
clicks on it ) to the external video file, which is located on the
same server where my website is. That video file has name demo.mov
I assume that the thumbnail picture has to be a Button? , but
I am not sure. So would the AS be:
(onRelease) {
gotoAndPlay (URL);
I know it is probably wrong, but I am really lost in this.
Thank you so much for any help.
Cheers
Janek

Hello,
thank you guys for your inputs. So, what if I do it like
this?
I would make .html page with my .mov or .flv video clip
embeded on it. I would name that page for example: video.html
and uploade it to the same server where my website is
(www.icebergfilms.com).
then I would assign this AS to the thumbnail on my website:
(onRelease) {
getURL (
http://www.icebergfilms.com/video.html)
Would it work?
Please, if this is totaly none sense be patient with me.
Thank you so much
Janek

External Video...

hallo, i have a question conserning external video capabilities...
i was editng over the weekend at a editing studio wth 2 cinema displays and used the external video option to show ALL FRAMES...it was the first time i have used this feature and i was thrilled about it...so i went home and tried it at home, and it worked just as it did at the editing studio, but with my less cool samsung and LG widescreen monitors...a few days later i tried it again and it worked. no problem, then i opened a new projekt and it didnt work. i didnt change the keyboard setting or anyting, just opened the new project...i dont know what is different...i read the FCP manual and from what i understand i shouldnt be able to use the external viewer at all, only with 3 monitors and another graphics card...but it worked for me on a few occasions....i was hoping some of you can shed some light on what i could possibly change or do to get this function again...
i have a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT card with 2 monitors, both 16x9...
thanks a lot,
aaron

in the VIEW menue i have set "External Video" to ALL FRAMES, and the Video Playback set to Digital Cinema Desktop - Main. my monitor switches to the fullscreen preview mode, but the images arenot updated. that is to say there isno difference from ALL frames and Single Frames in the "External Video" option.
thanks for the help,
aaron

I'm use two screens, Firefox 4 is not displaying correctlying on my second screen. How do I fix this? (I have Windows 7, 64 bit, and using an external video card)

It only happens on the screen I'm using the external video card. I'm assuming its a bug.

I think this is related to other posts, the solution at the moment seems to be to disable hard acceleration.

External Video Card

I have a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop. I do quite a bit of video editing and am wondering what is the best/recommended external video card to purchase that is copmatible with my laptop?

That is an interesting question. The only "external video cards" that I am aware of are the USB to Video adapters. The major drawback of these - they tend to be somewhat laggy when being used to display video ( on some machines ). I have used them and did not notice any lag but it depends on the video being used. High action video may cause problems. I do not know of any other options, however.

Timeline and External Video issues

Have an issue with output. My external video is not showing up to play from the timeline. I am getting neither audio or video. Have checked all firewire ports, used 2 different monitors, 2 different decks, 2 different firewire cable and even tried it without the external hard drive. It shows in the view menu that all frames are checked and the output is set to the correct monitor. Refreshing the external devices does not work either. Ran FCP Rescue. Still did not fix the problem. The Canvas window is sized to fit in the window. Capturing video and audio works great. Just output and monitoring it while editing. Can I get an answer. It is the latest FCP, 6.0.2. Is this a problem with the new quicktime 7.3.1?
This is an emergency. Any help would be appreciated.

You can't monitor SD without a 3rd party card.
Perhaps you mean the material is DV?
You don't send DV material directly to a monitor - you send it out via firewire to some sort of DV/analog conversion then to a monitor.
Perhaps your post was not clear?

• Only if your video camera supports it. Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
• Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
• If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac. For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
• The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
• If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

Print to vide/External video not working in FCP, PLEASE HELP

I have the FCP HD 4.5 and am having difficulty communicating to my Panasonic PV-800. Capture is great, but when trying to view external video or print to video, the default blue screen of my cameras vtr mode is distorted and no video comes through. I have refreshed AV devices and have check all frames in the external video menus. When i pause the playback, the still frame appears on my camera, then if i resume playback, the video does not come through, but only distorts the blue screen. I made sure the settings were correct and even found an apple site that told me to copy two plugins from the FCP CD, and i did that. I also did the quicktime fix where u delete the reciepts and download the latest version of Quicktime, still same videoless situation.
I feel like i've tried everything. Please if anyone can help, i gotta get something printed to video soon!

after doing everything it was:
Shutdown everything, power up connected camera, power up external drive, power up computer, launch fcp, and it worked. I dunno if the restart was a part of the process of one of my other things that i did or whatever. Maybe that's just how my computer reacts. Anyways, hope that helps anyone frustrated.

Linking to external video in Captivate 7

I develop video-based training. Each slide includes mostly video. I've been successfully embedding f4v videos into Captivate projects for some time but video quality and file size issues make it necessary to begin linking to videos on external servers.
I've tried a number of options without success.
I create a video event, choose the url option, and add the url from the uploaded video. The only usable server choice is the Adobe Media Streaming Service. I've tested the videos on different servers including Amazon since the troubleshooting advice alerted me that only Adobe partners servers will be recognized. The project previews and the progress bar moves as if the video is playing but only the background file is visible. I tried all the preview options - no luck.
I decided to try the YouTube widget. I uploaded test videos to YouTube, inserted the Interaction widget and added the url, etc. This option results in a successful preview only when I choose the html 5 output in web browser option. Captivate will successfully publish the project but I get "Java Script Error unable to acquire LMS, API content, may not play properly" messages.
The published file performs like all of the unsuccessful previews. The file loads and acts as if the videos are playing in that the progress bar moves but there is no video, just the slide background image. I tried different output settings like just SWF, just html5, both SWF and html5, different versions of the flash player, etc. I also added the output folder to the Flash Global Security settings in case it was a permissions issue.
I'm working on a mac so I emailed a zipped file to my PC and tried to open in Internet Explorer to see if the file might play on a different system or browser - same outcome - no luck.
Making external video work is critical to my work and use of Captivate so I'm hoping there's something I'm missing or misunderstanding about what I need to do.
Any help or advice will be appreciated.

I'm continuing to have problems with the YouTube widget. My client sent me YouTube links and when I copied and pasted the new links into the Captivate file and the published and uploaded the file, the links didn't work.
To review, I uploaded video files to YouTube and used the interactions widget to insert the linked videos. The videos which I uploaded can be previewed in html5 in web browser but not in any other way. When I publish this file and view the file on my system on my browser (Safari) the file opens but the videos do not play. However, when I upload to my ftp site and open the file from there, the linked YouTube videos play.
So this led me to believe that I have a file that will work at least in html5 output. But when I replace the original YouTube links that I uploaded with new links provided by my client the videos preview in html5 in web browser mode but do not play on my system or when uploaded to my ftp site. All of the videos (mine and my clients) play in YouTube and preview in html5 mode.
Additionally, when I ouput the html5 file, the quiz doesn't work properly. The radio buttons don't appear on screen so when answers are selected the user has no way of knowing their selections have been accepted. Oddly, the quiz is registering answers since when you submit there is a brief flash during which you can see the buttons but they quickly disappear and results are tallied accurately at the end. But the quiz is unusable without user feedback for selections. You can view this performance beginning on the sixth slide (the beginning of the quiz).

Can I have an external video source run in a window instead of using the full display?

I'm aware that the 27" iMac models are capable of accepting external video sources, but I'm wondering if it's possible to have an external video source run in a window on the desktop, rather then use the full display. Does anyone know if there's any software I can download to allow this, or will I have to purchase a special capture device?

hat I DON'T WANT TO OPEN the window application FROM the Labview VI BUT IN the Labview VI. I think it's possible to do that and to do communicate the OpenGL application with the Labview Interface using an ActiveX but I don't know how. Can someone help me ?The desired behavior you desribed may not be possible with that application. In general LabVIEW does not offer a window object that other standalone applications can run it. The closest thing is the ActiveX container. If the programmers for your application created an activeX control of your program and they provided documentation, it should be pretty easy to incorperate the app and labview into one window. I recommend contacting the manufacuturer of the app to see if they have an activeX control version of the app.
