History of images "captured" from video

Usually when you import an image, in the History panel you find the first entry states when it was imported eg. "Import (date time)"
Could we have something the same in the History panel for images captured from video? At present there is nothing there when you first check it out and you can't truely go back to the start (unless you managed to remember to take a snapshot before you touch a slider.)
I'm using the Windows 32 bit version. The above issue is consistent with both the DSLR (Canon 5D II) and normal video I borrowed from my Dad.

Hi Sarah,
Good idea. I can't promise you anything on this one but I'll raise it with the team.

Direct Still Image capture from video

How would I capture a still image with a firewire connection from a camcorder capturing all the pixels from that image. I was hoping to use Image Capture or Quicktime but I have not found a solution.
The solution needs to be apple scriptable.
Thanks,
Drew

You could use iMovie to "copy" a frame. A DV camera would be 720X480 image.
QuickTime Pro could also be used as it supports Firewire connected cameras and has a "Record" feature.
Simply pause or stop capture and scrub through (right left arrow keys) to find your frame. Copy, open new Player window and paste. Export to Picture and choose your format.
QuickTime has an AppleScript library. iMovie does not.

Image capture from avi vfw device can't find video modes

Hello
Here my issu, i have implemented image capture from a video device using jmf 2.1.1e performancepack, using a webcam everything is fine but when i use the video capture source i want to use i can only work with format 720x480 pal and i require 720x576 pal.
jmf seem not to reconize video format from this source, but the video is correcty displayed and image correctly captured. I'm surprised it is half working:decoding&render is ok to but not format choice.
I have check it is not because i'm in ntsc mode (ntsc is 720x480) because my analogic source is pal and color are correct (if with device software i change to ntsc mode i have a black&with but using jmf i'm in color so i'm in pal mode)
Difference bettween the webcam and my device is that my device is an avi encoder so in jmf webcam is javax.media.format.YUVFormat and my device com.sun.media.format.AviVideoFormat
i have tried many thing:
install codec pack (divx6, another codec pack)
try to use Fobs4JMF
register in JMStudio IBMdecoder, jffmpeg
Tanks for any help
the device support many configuration UYVY 235x288 352x576 .... 720x576 but JMF offer only 1 video mode for this device.
here in jmf my capture device info:

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! )

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

Live Capture from Video Mixer

I'm having a problem with getting my Powerbook to communicate with my Videonics MXPro Dv digital video switcher. The switcher has firewire out which works when I connect to a camera but I can't get Final Cut 5 to connect with it. I have set up my device setting as non-controllable but with no success. I am trying to capture SD footage of school musical. Any thoughts?

Additional thoughts...
If you have a DV camera/deck, I'd try to use that instead of the Canopus. This way, you could record to tape what you're capturing live.
Granted, there is timecode differences between the two, but it serves as a backup, should the live capture fail. (and trust me, it will at some point...Mr. Murphy says so)
For our workflow, we do a couple of things...for mission critical events, we ISO record to tape in each camera and to a Deck (live to tape), as well as the live capture into FCP.
We then capture all tapes and cut shows from that. This way, we have DV recorded quality from camera tapes, along with proper timecode, which comes in handy, should we ever have to revisit the project. (the live capture becomes our redundant backup recording, which we dump after the show is a lock)
For non-mission critical, we just record the live cut to the deck, along with the live capture into FCP. We can cut from either, then we can dump the live captures from the drives (saving valuable disk space) and still have tape backup to re-cut if needed.

Taking screen captures from video

I have a video on iphoto and i want to know if there is a way to save screen captures from that video. Thank you

With "Grab" you can capture the screen, a window, a section, or a timed screen.
You will find "Grab" in Applications -> Utilities.
Just start "Grab", and then in iPhoto navigate your video to the frame you want to capture, then take the screen shot.

Video capture from video camera to macbook

Stop Image Capture from launching

Image Capture launches whenever I connect a memory card. I knew I can disable the automatic launch in the preferences, but then it won't launch when I hook camera up. Is there a way to make sure it only launches when I connect a camera and not a memory card?

Hi,
just by pure coincidence I came across this article the other day which I think might be just what you need - http://lifehacker.com/5310161/cameras-improves-the-way-os-x-deals-with-connected -cameras

Stop image capture from opening when iphone is connected ?

how do i get "image capture" to stop auto opening when i connect my iphone ?
i have set image capture to open when i connect a camera, but i don't want it to open when i connect the iphone.
is this possible ?

Chenks,
The way you have it set, Image Capture will open whenever it detects photos that have been taken with the iPhone. To prevent it, you can just import the photos you've taken with the iPhone to your computer and then erase them off the phone (you can then sync them back to the phone if you want them), or you can set Image Capture to not open when any camera is connected. That will apply to other digital cameras as well as the iPhone.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

WDS: Can an image captured from a HDD be deployed to a SSD (and still have all the benefits of an SSD...)?

WDS Server is Windows Server 2012. All captured images are Windows 7 x64 Enterprise. I'm capturing images from a virtual machine (VMware Workstation) on a HDD and hoping to deploy to SSDs. Will this cause any issues? Will certain
SSD advantages be disabled? Are there any steps I need to take to make it work/optimize it?

I would say it wouldn't change anything in terms of performance. If you do a capture and sysprep it would be just like you install from scratch from a DVD, since sysprep removes all hardware-related information. The advantage of SSD is usually only dependent
on the controller and driver. As you say if you have SATA mode AHCI or RAID, this usually releases the controllers full capabilities as 6Gbps port, aswell all native querying etc.
However, since you are running IRST, I want to mention that the IRST driver makes a BIG difference, e.g. if you are having Dell systems and running either RAID0 or RAID5, the performance increase can be up to +50% using the latest drivers from Intel instead
of the built in ones. I haven't tested the difference for single disks though, but it shouldn't differ as much.

Image capture from itunes movie/ tv show purchases and rentals ?

I'd like to get screen grabs (preferably high quality images) from itunes movies for personal use. Is there any way to do this with Lion ? I have tried Snapz Pro already and just get the chequered grey and white image.
My macbook pro does not have a disk drive so this is purely for stuff from itunes which I believe cannot be played through VLC or quicktime etc. Any help would be much appreciated !

was wondering if I would be able to download movies and tv shows straight from the itunes store to the ipad,
Yes, you can purchase and download directly from the iPad. Use the iTunes app. The iTunes Store interface on the iPad only displays a limited selection of the available content, so for many items you may need to use the Search.
As to Netflix, they have an app for the iPad:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/netflix-inc/id363590054
as does ABC:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/netflix-inc/id363590054
I don't know about other sources for TV shows, though there may well be. I know of no other sources for feature films at this time.
Regards.

Still Capture from Video Footage - How?

Can I capture a frame in a movie and turn it into a snapshot?

You are most welcome.
The Adobe forums function on several levels:
First, posters present their questions, or problems, and hopefully get answers, or solutions.
Next, others come to the forums, and Search for their question, or problem, hoping to find an answer/solution, before posting
Then, others just read the forums (after trying to answer others' questions, that is my next most common action), trying to learn even more
The second is one reason to have a descriptive title for a post - it helps in their Search.
Most of all, good luck, and think that you were able to get your answer. If you have any issue with the "snapshot camera icon," please let us know.

Linksys WVC210 Automated Video/Image Capture

So i have a need to do automated video/image capture from a pair LinkSys WVC210's, they are being used in a friends shop and aswell as being able to view from home there is also a requirement to record them.
It needed to be simple and not a big combersome display with fairly large hardware requirements like the supplied software, so i started with a VB Script doing what i wanted but had the need to do some more advanced stuff so ported it over to VB.Net and would like to share the software/source if anyone else want's something similar.
Bassicly it is a Command Line App that accepts 4 arguments.
Usage is as follows:
LinkSysWVC.exe 192.168.1.211 Front 10 10
Where the first arg is obviously the Camera's IP, the 2nd arg is a Name for the camera that will be used in the filenames of videos and images, the 3rd arg is how long to record for in seconds, and the final arg is how many loops to do
The Program uses native VB code to download the image from the camera and save it to a file, and mencoder to capture the streaming video.
I chose mencoder as it is cross platform, simple, supports streaming containers and can output virtually any video.
It saves the stream as a AVI with the following specs:
Video
Format                           : MPEG-4 Visual
Bit rate                         : 384 Kbps

Sampling rate                    : 8 000 Hz
Resolution                       : 16 bits
At the moment there is no error checking, all it does is attempt to ping the camera if it responds then it starts the capture process.

Transfer photos from iPhone to mac without iPhoto / image capture and preview doesn't see device

Hello. I'd like to transfer photos from my iPhone to my Mac. I read (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083) that iPhoto is the standard application for that; I'd like to do without. I read that image capture (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/8954/copy-photos-off-iphone-without-iph oto) or even Preview (http://osxdaily.com/2010/07/10/transfer-photos-from-iphone-to-computer/) could help. Neither of them see my iPhone although cable connected and iTunes does. So my question is two: If Preview and Image Capture are ineed supposed to, why don't they? And is there any other way?
Thanks

I dont like iphoto so the easiest way to do it is using image capture, just plug in your iphone launch image capture from your applications folder and import all images or just selected images into any folder you want.
Moreover,you can follow this page about how to transfer photo/pictures from iPhone to Mac, which give an easy guide to figure out this problem.
Have a good luck!
