Help: I need to video underwater

Hi there,
I need to video some underwater video. I have research into some action camera like below:
a) JVC GC-XA1
b) GoPro Hero 3
Questions:
1) Which of the above action camera are better ?
2) I will be doing multicam function as there are angles to take. SInce my other video cameras are shot in 1920 x 1080 at 25p, if I set this action camera to 1920 x 1080 at 50p, will FCPX have problem handling the difference ?
Thanks

1: Well, I would choose between the Contour HD cams or the GoPro's.
It's a matter of taste.
2: No, FCPX handle multiple framerates just fine.. and if you shoot in 50p or 30/60, you just have extra frames to use if you like to make slowmo..
Thanks Jakob.
1. Can I know why in your opinion you do not like the JVC since the JVC do not need extra housing/casing to go underwater ? I saw some review from the JVC which claims that the audio will be better without the waterproof casing.
2. Thanks, it is good to know that FCPX can handle a mixture of different framerates at one go. I also notice that in the review of GoPro, it ways we must use a micro sd card of Class 10. Will this be a problem since all these while my other video cameras are only using Class 4 sd card. Will these pose any problem for FCPX ?
Thanks again ...
Cheers

  • Help Suggestions Needed: Flash Video VS. Animated .Gif

    Hi everyone,
    My goal is to post an image on my blog that continuously plays different image frames. I'm new to using other programs in the Adobe Suite other than Photoshop, so I started to achieve my goal by making an animated .gif
    The quality of the animated .gif anyway you try to adjust it ends up not being the best quality, so I thought I would try making a Flash Video. I was successful at making my image frames into a QuickTime Video, but this is not really exactly what I wanted. I was hoping someone might know of a way to achieve the animated .gif concept of continuously playing images, but with much higher quality??! At this point, any and all suggestions would be very much appreciated
    Thank you

    Hi Howard,
    Yes, your wording is perfect! That's exactly what I'm trying to do and still be able to use it on blogger.com
    Working with an Animated .Gif I'm not getting the quality I want, but other than that it would work perfect.  As a video with Flash the images don't
    continue to loop, but start and stop as a video should with play options. So, this is even more of a stretch from what I originally was trying to
    accomplish.

  • It won't let me share my movie. Nothing happens when I click "share" or even in the drop down menu. I don't get options. HELP! I need this video by tonight!

    I have worked with iMoive a ton and have never had an issue. I consider myself pretty computer savvy. This new iMovie is not my friend. It will not let me share my new video. I click on the project and click "share" like it says but I don't receive any further prompt. It literally does nothing. I tried the drop down menu and I see the "share" with an arrow indicating there are options but no drop down menu appears. I need this video by tonight to submit for work. HELP!

    I got it to share! No reloading iMovie!
    I do not have Mackeeper on my laptop
    I have the movie files on an external hard drive
    1. Close out iMovie
    2. Eject the external hard drive
    3. Start up iMovie
    4. Plug in the external hard drive
    5. Go into finder and double click on the folder containing the movie
    6. Select the movie as if to edit
    7. Share it!
    I hope this works for you too

  • I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
    A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
    You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.

  • Hi, I need a video editing software for my Power Mac G5 system. Hunted all over for one! Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Everything I come across is for intel based systems. Many thanks in advance.

    I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
    If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
    I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.

  • Importing video help! Need Time and date to show up on screen...

    SOMEBODY HAS TO HAVE AN ANSWER!
    Okay, little background... I just got a new Mac book pro lab top. First time apple user. Difficult to learn, but learned fast. I am working with IMovie HD program, got the hang of it. I have a Cannon ZR50 camcorder, mini DVR tape. Camera has DV,S, USB, AV etc.. port outs. Hooked it up to lab top to import video to lab top to edit footage add sound etc... to later burn to DVD via IDVD program
    BTW: I used a DV to Firewire cable to load up footage.
    PROBLEM I AM HAVING. is when I'm importing my video to the computer, time and date stamp from my camcorder's screen does not show up on Mac screen. It gets lost when importing. How I view it on my camcorder (SHOWING TIME/DATE INFO ON FOOTAGE TAKEN) is how I would like to view it after importing it to lab top to later edit ad sound tracks etc... If I hook up my camcorder to a VHS or TV, to record on tape of footage taken, Time/Date stamp of footage shows up and records on tape with no problem.
    I spoke with a lot of people on this issue. Everyone refers me to someone else. I can't get an answer for something in my eyes is so simple. They all said " Why would you want the time and date stamp to show up on your footage anyway" Well I would like it to be that way. Topic got down to three things that might solve problem. 1. Need better video/editing software. 2. Need Digital Analog capture device. 3. Need new camcorder. I've been working on this problem for a day or so. It's getting rough for help. Any information on this problem would be great. If you need any more info on my issue please do not hesitate to Pm me. Thanks

    Hi SIZ4SK:
    Welcome to discussions!
    You can't do that with iMovie but you can with a bit of help from a third party...
    What you really need is this free plugin from TriX Software:
    DVFileDateCM

    Let me know if this helps or not.

    i need help guys mi karaoke videos aren't playing anymore how can i download some drivers for it ?

    Drivers? You need a program to run them such as K-Jams. Then you will need to check your connections from the laptop to the monitor and make sure your settings are correct in System Preferences.
    Good Luck

  • Need help please with my video ipod

    HI,
    I need to know how to transfer photos to my ipod. I can not figure this out. I would appreciate your help.

  • I need any videos i shoot on my iphone, to go to the cloud automatically (when i get an icloud account). the demos show pics and docs going directly, but the demos are ambiguous about short videos i shoot on my phone....help?

    i need any videos i shoot on my iphone, to go to the cloud automatically (when i get an icloud account). the demos show pics and docs going directly, but the demos are ambiguous about short videos i shoot on my phone....not backed up nightly, but available soon.  help?

    Since photo stream doesn't support videos, you would need to use an app to do this.  Dropbox may be a good choice as I believe once enabled, all you have to do is open the app and it will automatically upload photos and videos taken since the last upload to your Dropbox account (see https://www.dropbox.com/help/289/en).  If you aren't familiar with Dropbox, it's a very popular cloud service for hosting files and other media.  Amazon just announced that its Cloud Drive service will soon support photos (http://9to5mac.com/2013/05/10/amazon-launches-cloud-drive-photos-app-for-iphone) /; perhaps it will also be extended to support videos at some point.

  • Need help getting ipod/phone videos onto a DVD that will play in my dvd player

    I have so many videos on my old ipod and my two iphones. I need to get them onto a DVD that will play in my dvd player because they are all the videos I have of my kids when they were babies(bad I know!) So I bought iLife and have iDVD and a macbook pro laptop. Would anyone be willing to write step by step what i need to do to get them onto a DVD as I am very new to all the technology these days. Thank you so much in advance

    First you need to get them onto your Mac.  Use image capture and download them to a folder on the Desktop.  Next, you need a video DVD authoring program.  IMO iDVD is the best.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Softwareor eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the download movie files into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.  Some themes will only allow 6 items per menu, including sub menus, others up to 10 I believe.  Sub menus can always be added to add more movies to the project. This is an example of a project with multiple slideshows/movies and menus:
    IMPORTANT:  iDVD is not concerned with the size of the media files in regards to what the iDVD disk can hold.  All that's important is the total playing time of all of the movie files including the menus.  A single layer DVD disc can hold up to 120 minutes of playing time.  A double layered disk 240 minutes.  IMO it's best to go with multiple single layered disks.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • HELP about analog output video

    Hello, I´m need help about analog output video in Premiere CS5 using Matrox RTX2. I need to crop a video with resolution in 1440x1080 to 4:3 in output analog. But what happens is wrong (I think). My video is in format anamorphic and the other option is 16:9 letterbox. Is there any way to crop the video without using effects. Thanks a Lot and sorry my bad english (my native language is Portuguese).

    There are no 4:3 HD specifications.  You'll have to put the video into a normal SD sequence, and scale it down till the top and bottom of the video meet the frame.  That way the sides will be cut off.

  • Help inserting a flash video into my web page

    Hello!
    I'd love some help inserting a flash video into my web page. My web page is hosted by Viviti, templated, and edited online. I can add html to it, and I have the html source for my flash video. I also have uploaded the flash file to the server. Since I am very html illiterate, though, I need some help rewriting the html script so it can be published. There are two problems- firstly, no 'headers' or 'body' allowed in the script- these are already a part of the template. Secondly, I don't know how to rewrite it to refer to the uploaded files. It's also imperative that the full screen mode functions. I've pasted the source code for the flash video here. Please help!!!
    Thanks!

    What you basically need to do is copy the sections of content from the code you show into the template (assuming the template already provides the <head> and <body> sections of the page.  So in the head section of what you show, take everything starting with...
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    all the way down thru...
    </script>
    , inclusive (in the head section only), and paste that into the head section of your template.
    Similarly, take everything that lies between the <body> ... </body> tags (exclusive of the body tags) and paste it into the body section of your template wherever you plan to display the Flash file.

  • Help with Multiple Source Video on DVD

    I am new to Premiere 9 trying to make a DVD of a birthday party with video from my Canon Vixia HF200 and a slideshow I exported from iPhoto to a m4v file.  It was my understanding from reading earlier posts I should export the instant movie I made by going to Share and export "for viewing on computer or make DVD" and then doing the same for the slideshow.  But instead of an avi file, it makes a flv file and I am unable to open it or import it back to Premiere 9 to create a DVD.  I am really confused as to how to go about putting these two files together to make a DVD.  (I can't just put them together on the same project?)   I have a iMac computer and am used to making movies on iMovie where you can just add clips from various sources and then export to iDVD.  I am finding it difficult to get the help I need from the Help menu on the program.  I know I must be doing something wrong.  Please help if you can.

    Now we know why we've been confused! At the beginning of this discussion, you were talking about creating a DVD. Now you're talking about creating a BluRay disc, which is a very different project.
    To output a hi-def file from Premiere Elements, go to Share/Computer/MPEG and use the 1440x1080i output preset.
    Should load right into a Toast BluRay project!
    I don't know if Toast has a WebDVD project, but you can output a WebDVD project from Premiere Elements. Just set up a menu system as you would if you were creating a DVD or BluRay in Premiere Elements. Then go to Share/WebDVD to output your files.
    A webDVD is a combination of FLV video and html files that can be posted to a site (including Photoshop.com) and then navigated just like a DVD -- except that it's online.
    Glad to hear you're ordering the book too! Thanks for supporting our Muvipix.com mission!
