F210 Cam Playback

Anyone else having issues with playback using the usb cable to a TV? There is no audio on the playback. Have not tried the HDMI yet. I will have to pick one up and give it a try.
Tks

I found if I turn sat/sync off after sat signal is made then set time it keeps the right time as long as I keep sat/sync off.

Multi-Cam Playback Won't Stop!

Premiere Pro Multi-Cam playback once started by any method will not stop. I have to kill Premiere and restart it to get back control of the software. I saw a video on YouTube of someone with the same problem. I think they referred to the issue as a runaway CTI. Anyone else seen this happen?
Terry

I'm on 7.2.2. I guess the old terminology has stuck with me. This is relatively new behavior in my case. I don't think 7.1 did this, but since being on CC, I haven't kept track of versions as much as when I had to install the updates myself. A few other details... The project is one track of ProRes HQ and three tracks of AVC-HD, all 1920 x 1080i. System is Win 7, 2X quad core Xeons, 16gb ram, SATA system drive and 3X 2tb raid 0 for video. Media Cache files on separate raid. Quadro 4800 video card. I could be way off base, but it just appears and though once playback in multi-cam mode is started, the software is not checking for keyboard interrupts or mouse clicks on the transport controls.

Buffering and Cam Playback issues

Hi,
I am having real trouble with videos that use Flash Player and also when viewing cams that also use Flash. When watching videos they will only play for a few seconds before having to buffer which makes trying to watch any Flash video a nightmare. This is NOT a Youtube problem as its doing it with any Flash video not just on Youtube. Also when watching a webcam that uses Flash the cam and audio will pause every few seconds before starting again. This has only been happening since the latest update which is the version i'm using. I have Vista 32 bit and using IE 9. Please help as I have a friend that I talk to via webcam and obviously I can't anymore because of this problem.

It sounds like you might be encountering bandwidth issues between your computer and YouTube. The first video test was using HTML5, not Flash. If you encountered stuttering/choppy playback then we know that your performance issue isn't relegated to just Flash Player.
I'd recommend posting on the YouTube forums to see if anyone could recommend a reliable way to test your connection speed. I know YouTube has a speed test, I'm not sure how it works or how to read it properly though.

After update to CC from CS6 multi-camera playback/edit now glitchy

Hi Forum Friends,
I finally made the move from CS6 to CC last week and now I am diving back in to some projects that were already in progress during the upgrade (which went smoothly).
However, I am now finding that my ability to playback multicam clips for edit is greatly degraded, with lag, hanging and "not responding" pauses really slowing me down. I haven't crashed it yet, but as the problem becomes more clear to me I'll update this thread.
Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have a clue they can loan me?
I am running CC on Win7sp1 with 6GB RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro 2000 GPU. Nothing about my workflow or raw media (Canon XF) has changed except the CC update.
Thanks!
Eric D - CoralVision

Sooo... This problem is still plaguing me, and shunting all of my productions through FCPX is not a sustainable solution! Besides I am paying for this!
Let me clarify the outline of the issue - although I once assumed that my problem was associated with a widely bemoaned .MFX media error extant before the last PrProCC update, I can now say that my .MXF problems were only a subsidiary issue. My problem (sometimes identified in the event viewer in CC as "audio dropout in adobe player") is a HANG.
Today I am working in PrPro CS6.0.5 (under my CC subscription) and here is what I see: Occurring every 10-25 seconds of playback (multicam editing), it lasts 4-10 seconds (screen freezes, audio freezes) and then resumes from the moment of the hang. PrPro then executes any keystrokes that happened during the hang (eg. save, pause playback, or cut to a diff. cam. angle). In the resource monitor, I see two kinds of hangs: 1) CPU activity drops to zero and then surges before the moment of recovery, but CPU and disc I/O never approach capacity. Curiously, RAM (used physical memory) also notches down to 0, then immediately comes back up to the previous level. 2) CPU and disc activity both surge to capacity at the moment of the freeze and stay up near full bore for the duration and for several more seconds, while RAM holds steady. In this variation of the hang, the number of instances of "adobe premiere pro.exe" in the "Disk" window multiplies to 25-30 or more, then after recovery returns to the normal 4-6 instances.
Clearing/deleting media cache seems to make no change.
Kevin Monahan FYI I am still out here needing some help and encouragement.
I'm gonna go burn an hour trying to chat with support...
Happy New Year Adobe!

Final Cut Express - viewing fullscreen camera playback without importing??

Hi all,
Is it possible to playback a Firewire video camera into Macbook Pro and view the playback full screen on an apple cinema display?
I tried it in iMovie but you only get the standard size video import window.
Will Final Cut Express 4 do it (I have the older version 3 HD).
Thanks

But does that only work if you have Final Cut Pro installed.
No. It is a separate app, that works outside of FCP.
I just tried Veescope but it wont recognise my camera,
What camera? COnnected how?

Video glitch: Flashing during multi-cam playback

Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.2. Maxed out iMac 2013.
Latest Adobe PP Patch 2014.2 Release Build 8.2.0 (65)
I'm having an issue with my multicam. When I perform a roll or slip edit, it causes the Program Monitor (which is in multi-cam mode) to flicker between either a black screen, or a previous edit. It won't do playback either when this occurs. Sometimes I can fix the issue by opening a non-multicam sequence, and then clicking back to the multicam sequence, but more often than not, I have to quit. In a 30min multicam, this occurs however often I need to change my tool, which may be 10 times.
Anyone else had this? Is is my GPU drivers on my Mac? I have no idea how to update those drivers on mac, traditionally it's done for me via App Store and not often since drivers are not updated as often as Windows. This was never a problem on Mavericks. Anyone else?

Hi Lawrence,
Try this:
Please go to File > Project settings > General and change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only. Click Ok and select Delete Previews.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,

Imported clips playback fine on camera, playback at 2x speed in iMovie 2009

anyone know what is going on ?
1. shoot video on Sony camcorder
2. import clips via iMovie 2009 (version 8.0.4)
3. clips seem to playback at double speed

What is your system configuration: include your OS version & iMovie version.
What is your Camcorder's Make & Model?
Take a look at the iMovie Video Camera support list: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290
Make sure your device is supported.

Camera Playback question

Well, I'm almost embarrassed to ask this question and it is not strictly a FCP question to boot. I realize a lot of you are cutting edge HD types, but I'm still using a Sony TRV 900 camera. I know that even if you set it to shoot in 16:9, it's not true 16:9. But if one were to do this, how do you get it to play back without distortion on a regular 4:3 screen (i.e. with the black bars top and bottom instead of the compressed picture you get otherwise)? I can't find a menu setting to allow this. Thanks in advance.
Steve

One of the easiest is to create a new sequence that is 4:3.
Then drag the completed 16:9 sequence INTO that one.
It should be fine on its own, but sometimes it still looks like squished 4:3. IF that's the case, click on the 16:9 sequence that's inside the timeline of the 4:3 and hit the ENTER key on your numeric keypad.
This will then load it into the viewer without opening up the 16:9 sequence again.
Once it's there, click on the MOTION tab and twirl down the DISTORT triangle.
At the bottom of that you'll see a setting for ASPECT... change that to 33 or -33. I always forget which.
Then render.
Good luck,

AVC Intra vs XD Cam playback

I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting such varried results with AVC Intra 100/50 and XDCam clips. I'm in an arena production environment with a variety of sources and while I think AVC-I 100 should be my codec of choice, I just don't seem to get the performance I'm expecting.
For example, I shoot 720p AVC-I 100 & 50 as well as DVCPro HD on P2. I'm import everything through the media browser and all my clips come in with the yellow playback indicator and stutter unless rendered. I create my sequences by dragging the first clip onto "New Item" icon in the bin so as to make sure the setting match.
I also bring in 720p XDCam 50 MXF files from an EVS XT Access transcoder and a Grass Valley K2 with Dyno Elite. Those clips come in with no render indicators and play back completely smoothly.
Is this typical of P2 workflows?
I have pretty high end hardware.
An HP Z820 with two Xeon E5-2670 procs. 48 gigs of RAM, Quadro 4000 and AJA Kona 3. I'm editing from a 32TB Editshare with gigabit network.
Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide.

Raid3 is better suited for video editing work, because it is more efficient when using large files, as clips usually are. Raid5 is better suited in high I/O environments, where lots of small files need to be accessed all the time, like news sites, webshops and the like. Raid3 will usually have a better rebuild time than raid5.
But, and there is always a but, raid3 requires an Areca controller. LSI and other controller brands do not support raid3. And Areca is not exactly cheap...
Keep in mind that a single disk shows declining performance when the fill rate increases. See the example below:
A Raid3 or Raid30 will not show that behavior. The performance remains nearly constant even if fill rates go up:
Note that both charts were created with Samsung Spinpoint F1 disks, an older and slower generation of disks and with an older generation Areca ARC-1680iX-12.

CS6 multi-camera monitoring playback is slow/stops entirely

Hey all,
I've been searching forums for a workaround to this and I've come up empty - either the conversation gets bogged down in video card/hardware discussions or moves away from the issue entirely.
I am working on a 2012 Mac Pro tower with 24GB of ram and an ATI HD 5870 card. I've got 5 edited sequences for a music video that I've rendered out and I've nested those five to create an editional edit from those. I rendered to apple pro res 422 HQ, which is generally what I use for my working files. I had (relatively) no issues rendering out the 5 sequences/multi camera editing those (each containing 4 different camera angles). Now, when trying to pull those 5 sequences together and doing a multi cam, playback doesn't roll for more than 1-2 seconds before grinding to a half. My source files are on a seperate, internal HD from my project file, and I can't think of what else I might be able to do to get this to work
Any ideas? Help would be much appreciated - I really want to this multi cam edit to be the base of the video and from there I'll get more creative with my cuts and add clips manually.

You would have been better off just editing the native media, I think. PP is a different animal than FCP. You'll no longer need some of the bad habits you picked up using it.

Import erratic from film camera

Importing from two sony fx1's. Both cameras, although importing the footage, the screen on the computor is frozen with a single still image. I have to watch the camera playback screen in order to see what I am importing. Any idea why?

Ok sorted it out.

Multi-camera AVCHD editing workflow in Premiere CS4

I have a client project that has me wondering what workflow to use and I someone on this forum probably has the expertise to know the right solution. My requirements...
1. Client is recording a scene using 4 cameras at once, like a live TV show is shot, all AVCHD footage, 1920x1080px 17mbs, square pixels.
2. I must playback in Premiere the 4 video streams in real time and choose one camera to output, like a director would switch a live TV show. So, all 4 streams are playing in Premiere's multiple-camera editing windows. Each show I'm editing is about 1 hour long. The advantage of multi-camera editing of course is I can play all 4 cameras at once and live switch between them in Premiere to arrive at a 1 hour show in 1 hour of editing time.
3. Until I can upgrade my hardware that can possibly handle 4 streams of AVCHD, I'm stuck needing a workflow to convert the original AVCHD to some lowres format, edit those offline low res copies to get my edit decision list, and then reconnect the online HDV AVCHD clips to export through Media Encoder for a final production. My output format is Flash F4V 640x360 px square pixels for Internet playback.
4. Hardware: I'm running Windows 7 RC using CS4 Premiere 4.1, 4gb RAM, 2.4ghz dual-core processor with 64mb Intel turbo boost on a notebook PC. I do have 4 hard drives to hold each camera's footage on its own drive, and a fifth drive to ouput the edited version to, in addition to a drive to hold my OS and Premiere. The external drives are connected via eSATA to the notebook.
Question 1: what do you suggest as the lowres format I should convert my AVCHD footage to for multi-camera playback/editing in Premiere?
Question 2: do you think it's even possible to buy a desktop PC that can handle playback of 4 multicam AVCHD native format files in Premiere in real time? I'm concerned this may be too much for even the most powerful systems, and I would need to resort to editing lowres footage even with the most powerful desktop. As you know, decompressing one or two AVCHD streams is taxing to a PC so 4 at once is a challenge.
Question 3: an alternative workflow would be to feed live video out of the HDMI connectors on the cameras into four HDMI capture cards (Intensity Blackmagic) and capture uncompressed HDV bypassing AVCHD compression altogether, but the disk space required would be substantial. Does this make sense? I've even considered feeding those 4 HDMI feeds into a video switcher between the cameras and PCs but the cheapest solution I can find that can provide genlock (frame sync) between the 4 cameras for clean glitch-free switching is quite expensive, thousands of dollars invested.

I must playback in Premiere the 4 video streams in real time
Good luck with that. Many folks have trouble with even one stream.
edit those offline low res copies to get my edit decision list
I'm not sure offline editing with AVCHD will be possible because of the folder structure. You may not be able to 'replace' the lower res copies with AVCHD.
My output format is Flash F4V 640x360 px square pixels for Internet playback.
Oh, man. Shooting HD of any flavor is just overkill that adds unnecessary work to the process. Have your client shoot in DV.

Help!! can't import a movie from my sony camera

i connected the camera with a firewire cable, imovie recognize the camera and when i do "import" it's become pixels with noisy sound on the screen. i can't find out where is the problem. the cable? the camera? the software? or the computer.
Please help

Hi
a. What Camera - SONY DVR TRS PC 1234 ?
b. Does Your Camera playback OK on the Camera LCD-screen or on analog out to TV ?
c. Big squares on my Camera most often indicates that I need to run a Cleaning Tape
in it. Recording most often harmed and of no use - never figured out if any of it could be saved.
(Cameras SOMY TRV 900E and PC-330 both miniDV tape ones)
else read
*NO CAMERA or A/D-box*
Cable
• Sure that You use the FireWire - USB will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
• Toogle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minmum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
Using WHAT versions ? .
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
*Other ways to import Your miniDV tape*
• Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
• If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)

Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten.
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check.
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...

under Firewire.. what do you read..?

• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK

mbolander
Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After uninstalling Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.

Cameras won't connect to iMovie

I have iMovieHD installed on several eMacs and iBooks. I also have several Canon cameras ranging from the ZR200 to the ZR800. All cameras were working fine, but in the last few weeks the number of cameras that will be recognized by the computer has dwindled down to zero. This means that my students cannot finish projects they are working on. Have tried different cables, connecting to several different computers, My panasonic AG-DVC30 stopped working for imports also. I am stumped and need answers. I have tried everything i have seen on the forum. Please help someone!
Craig

Hi Craige
PLEASE ! Cheque ALL YOUR MACs and all FireWire Connections SO THAT NOT one Cable is turned 180 deg wrong.
IF SO - it blows the A/D chip in all Cameras connected to this Cable. Symptom:
• Camera works - recording via optics
• Camera playback to TV
• Camera - not recogniced by FireWire (Mac, iMovie or FCE/P)
Most of all other functions works but not just this one.
Please cheque - so if this is the couse - no more devices will be harmed and in need of Service Shop.
Expencive repair.
To turn the FW 6-pin connector wrong way is possibly esp if it is on the back of the Mac.
I've done it: two Cameras killed, one video bridge and one FW hard disk. Painfull experience.
IF Your Cameras works on another Mac then they are OK and we can cont. to narrow down the trouble.
Another very common origin is - faulthy FW-Cable - much more common than I would guess.
Yours Bengt W

Aluminium macbook to sony pc5e (dv video camera) connectivity

Hi, hope someone may be able to help. I have an old sony pc5e mini dv video camera and would like to connect it to my aluminium mac to download some content. Is this compatible and if so, what would I need in terms of cables and software etc. I would assume that unless a firewire input is available then it won't work? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

I had similar problem. Bought new HDR-HC9 camera. Took tape from older mini dv camera, and recorded some test footage. Created new imovie project, and the portion of the tape recorded in hi def comes over fine, the portion of the tape recorded in standard (on the old camcorder) all I saw was the blue screen.
I also tried playing and importing some tapes that were recorded entirely on the old camera (no mix of hi def and standard on the same tape) and had the same result: iMovie saw camera, would control rev and play, video would play on camera but iMovie has blue screen.
I tried the iLink setting from the camera playback menu (HD->DV conversion) with no luck. I made sure my iMovie project was appropriate for the recorded mode (DV widescreen) with no luck. Then I happened on the solution. Go to the camera settings in video camera mode, change the recording mode from Hi Def to standard DV. At this point all the tapes recorded in standard mode (DV widescreen) from the old camera can be imported into iMovie6 just fine. I know this sounds weird, since the record mode should not effect playback (?) but it works none the less.
I have not yet experimented with importing hiDef footage with camera in standard record mode, but I expect that if there are problems, that making sure the record mode on the camera is synced with the type of footage you are playing into iMovie is the solution.
Hope this helps.
