G4 ti4400 video-in preview before capture

HElp can anyone tell me how to simply PREVIEW video BEFORE I capture to my hard drive?! Id like to just be able to watch video from jvc camcorder on pc. Capture does work w s-video or firewire card i have installed. Do I need a Tv tuner card ? I would assume its possible to JUST WATCH video without having to save it to hard drive first.Running wxp, win movie maker and winproducer installed. THNX

Okay, could be other issues.
What exact versions of OS / FCPro / QT?
Has this procedure been functional in the past?
If so, did you do any recent upgrades/updates?
FireWire NTSC Basic is usually used for Canon hardware, due to funky FW implementation. You might try changing it to standard FireWire NTSC.
I notice the Pana AD-DV2000P is on the list of qualified devices for Final Cut Studio 1 (FCP 5).
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/devicelist.php#results
That deck is not listed for FCS2...(one of the reasons for my first question above)
Another reason for question #1 is the possibility of a bungled QT install (incompatibility between OS/FCP/QT), so your answers will help diagnose the issue at hand.
You might try the 'Guinness Solution', posted by Studio X, here...

Post back with more info, then maybe try the Guinness approach.

No video Preview During Capture

Here is the scoop:
Adobe Premeire CS5
Windows 7 64bit
Canon XL2
Capturing DV NOT HDV
Canon standard device control as there is no preset listed for the XL2
Video and audio actually captures fine. I can hear audio during capture but cannot see any video.
I know there is no video preview when capturing HDV but I am capturing DV.
Again this is CS5 NOT 5.5 so .dll fix is not an option
Thanks in advance.

FIXED!
Heres how it went:
Went to Device Manager and let windows look for an updated driver for my Graphics Card (Radeon HD 4200). Windows said the most current driver was installed. It was NOT the most current driver. I went out to ATI and got the most current driver, installed, reboot and OH JOY! I get video in the capture window during preview AND during capture (of DV)!
I also let windows (device manager) look for updated drivers for sound and it said the driver was the most current. Again, it was not. so the moral of the story is...Don't trust Device Manager on current driver versions.
Hope this will help some folks out there.
Side Note*
Most of us spend hours on forums looking for answers/fixes to particular problems. Most replies I see are either in the vein of "I have that problem too" or " try this, it worked in this OTHER version or try this OTHER software" etc. If you dont have an answer/fix for the problem, dont post.
ON the flip side of that, when posting a problem you want an answer to, Give all the pertinent information in your initial question. " Premiere crashes when I plug up my camera" does NOT suffice! What version of Premiere, what camera, what OS, What kind of connection, etc.

Video preview during capture CS3

Video preview during capture is not working even though settings are at preview video and audio during capture.
The work around seems to be to go ahead record anyway (red button) then it works after I paste the captured audio onto the timeline.
When pasting it to the timeline the video appears. The video appears during subsequent captures. It seems like a bug in CS3. This was not a problem with PP 1.5
Thanks

A few more of
these details will help us help you.

Changing color and contrast before capturing analog video?

Is it possible to change color (colorcast / saturation and contrast etcetera) before capturing analog video in Final Cut (software)? I have some old dv tapes I would like to upscale to hd and are considering to upscale via the super vhs outlet / connector on the camera through an I/O box (maybe Matrox).
Do you loose much quality when compared to capturing from DV (digital capture)? I would like to make "a first generation" good capture.....

You would need a capture card and a deck with built in controls, or an external TBC that works with compatible decks. Not every deck allows for this external control.
S-VHS or component out would be lesser quality than straight DV capture via firewire. Via firewire it is lossless...straight digital capture. analog capture is a loss of quality. Capture as DV and then upscale with After Effects or Compressor...or get a DV deck with SDI out and capture with...oh, the Mini doesn't do SDI. You'd need the MXO2 LE for best quality capture. With your options, the best bet would be capture as DV and then use Compressor. Or spring for the Matrox MXO2 LE.
Sorry, good quality costs...

No preview when capturing to DVD

Hi,
I've got the NX6600GT AGP & apart from all the input/output leads being incorrectly labeled, it's also got a few other funny things. When capturing video straight to DVD using WINDVD Creator 2, the preview screen goes blank while recording is in progress. Once you stop recording the preview returns. The captured video is perfect with sound & all, but with the video preview dissappearing while recording you are unable to see what in fact you are recording. Has anyone else had a similar problem? The program works as I have it installed on my other computer with a Leadtek A240. Many brains make light work of problems, hope I've just overlooked something.
cheers

MSI NX6600GT VIVO
1G GEIL DDR400 DUAL CHANNEL RAM
500W P/S
PIONEER AO8 D/L DVDR/RW

Yes, I thought about that option. Although this preview function should be set as default as it worked on the other sytem without any adjustment. Surely the preview should work because you can't see what you are recording. I have just tried it with the software that came bundled with the card also. The bundled software is called WINDVD Creator Plus & doesn't allow for burning directly to DVD but does allow to HDD. This software also removes the preview when capturing to Hard Disk. Now I might be a little harsh here, but isn't this stuff supposed to be tested before being placed in the marketplace?? I'll send an email to MSI & see what they have to say. I've also tried installing previous versions of the WDM drivers & crossbar drivers. I grabbed the disk for my old video card which has WDM drivers from 2002 ( it's also VIVO & chipset by Nvidia) but it still removed the preview. Time to step it up. Has anyone else experimented with this software & got it to work?? Would like to hear from you.
cheers

No preview on capture monitor...

Hi there,
A wierd problem occured to my PC just recently.
I am unable to playback footage in my capture window...
I have no idea what has happened, but basically it doesn't work anymore!
Spec: SONY HVR-V1E camera, recording HDV.
Adobe Production suite CS3, all fully updated.
Windows XP SP2, 3.2 Ghz dual core, 3 GB RAM.
I know i cannot preview HDV while capturing, thats not the problem. I should be able to view the footage in my capture monitor before capturing.
I do get the normal capturing screen when i hit capture button though.
I have looked into all the capture settings and all seems okay, has anyone got a suggestion?
thanks...
Andrew-

Hi
Its not the capturing its when veiwing the footage and marking in and out points where it has dissappeared. I know you get a dialogue screen when you are capturing. It worked when I first used it with the HDV camera.
Cheers

Importing speed is related to your computer processor and what it can handle. Have a look at David Babsky's posts in this thread to see if this helps:

Preview during capture

P.E. version 9.0.1 , operating system Vista 32 . When capture video from camcorder via fire wire , don't have preview , but video and audio captured O.K.
What should I look to solve this?
Ted

Hello again;
I been looking to some sources include Adobe and didn't find nothing about no capture preview in P.E.9. Only in the Read Me file , Adobe mention that some streaks could be visible on capture preview screen due capturing
interlaced footage.However I was successful with capture preview until I get updates from Adobe , updated graphics driver from nVidia and get windows updates. Going further I installed my old P.E.4.0 which I been using for few years and with this program I have preview on capture screen when capturing HD footage.My conclusion: something is corrupted in P.E.9 either to updates or poor writing of the program.
Another issue with P.E.9 is rendering. When I render timeline and save , then exit program and open project again red line above time line is still present. I have to render again to get this job done.
I contacted Adobe about this issue and after several back and for calls answer from Adobe was "this is going since version 4.0 and Adobe is working on this ,and will send you update". It is over year now
and no update resolving rendering problem, but I don't have rendering problem in version 4.0.

Retaining video quality for screen capture export

I've spent hours searching all over the interwebs and trying every combination possible, but I cannot for the life of me get Premiere to maintain the quality of my video from a screen capture. This is for a software demo video I am making. Here are the settings for the video capture:
Recorded with ocam screen recorder (http://ohsoft.net/product_ocam.php). This produced decent quality, not perfect, but definitely readable.
Microsoft MPEG 4 part 3 (.AVI) codec
1024x768
30fps
6000Kbps bitrate
When I view the files in Windows Media Player or Quicktime they look fine (again, not perfect, but definitely usable)
However, when I import them into Premiere Pro the preview adds artifacts, especially around black text on white background.
My sequence settings in Premiere match the original video:
1024x768
Square pixels aspect ratio
30fps
Exporting produces the same problem, artifacts all over.
Oddly, sometimes the artifacts disappear, such as when a window is moved with the cursor. Suddenly all the text in that window gets clear for a second.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Over in the PrElements forum, Steve Grisetti (may be spelled wrong) who literally wrote the book http://www.amazon.com/Muvipix-Guide-Premiere-Elements-version/dp/1479311200/ has said that he uses Camtasia for all of the online tutorials he creates

Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500. HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs. Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500.

Sure it is, yet it's called HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MFP Series *
Today, I followed your other advice, and deleted the printer, deleted the /Library/Printer/hp folder, downloaded the entire set of driver, re-installed the printer twice, once with the driver, once with Bonjour.
The Bonjour Printer has the scan option active, but it is doesn't work (refer to above.), it is called M1217nfw
The Apple Driver Printer doesn't show the scan option at all, it is called M1217nf (as on the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP list.) This model number doesn't exist, as far as I can tell.
Still, everything works perfectly in Snow Leopard, for a MF printer that has been manufactured years after Snow Leopard was released.
Why going up in software version means going backwards in compatiblity for brand new product is really the question that puzzles me here.

Do I lose High resolution video signal when I capture through FireWire?

I have being reading that capturing through Aja Kona video card is an uncompressed video capture. does it mean, I lose some part of my HD resolution video signal when I capture it through fire wire? Could somebody explain me? Thanks.

No, capturing DV or HDV via firewire is a bit for bit transfer of the original recording ... zero loss.

No preview during capture issue

Hi - I have Adobe Premiere setup to show me the video while it's capturing it form my camcorder, but for some reason it only shows the first frame at that's it. it does capture it correctly. What could be the issue?
Thanks,
Roberto

Hmm. I've not yet seen this issue under these conditions. The Scenalyzer suggestion may be worth investigation. WinDV is another capture utility, not quite as feature rich as Scenalyzer, but it is free.

Adusting video input signal while capturing???

Hello
I'm running Final Cut HD and am having trouble adjusting my video input signal. Under "Clip Settings" in the Capture Tool there appear to be controls, but they are disabled and my scopes do not appear to be reading either.
Any thoughts on how to unlock these controls?
Thank you,
Bryan

You can only adjust video levels if you capture component or SDI with a capture card.
And Zeb, when people say FCP HD more often than not they mean the latest version. I know that FCP 4.5 was dubbed that, but people still hold onto that name.

Have placed video-when previewed there are sometimes heavy black lines around the image. If I place white rectangles in front, the black is hidden in Author, but when I preview the black lines are still there..How to use white rectangles to mask edges?

Here's view in IBA you can see bounding boxes of white rectangles that
form frame to block out black setions..
Here's iBook preview image of same page, NO WHITE FRAME!

Need to load complete preview before playing from the iTUNES STORE No such selection.

REBUFFERING STREAM is constant during preview of songs. The solution suggested by the community was to: Go to iTUNES preferences>STORE and select "LOAD COMPLETE PREVIEW BEFORE PLAYING. I tried that but the STORE does not offer this option. WHAT NEXT?

I have the same problem with my iphone 4 . I solve it with giving permission to the cookies on safari from the settings.
