How to Capture High Quality Picture in Flex using webcam

Hi All,
   We need to use the built-in webcam to caputre the high quality still image. However, seems the webcam is set to video capture mode by default. The built-in cam is 1.3 mega pixel or 2.0 mega pixel, however, the resolution of still image caputured is quite low, around 0.3 mega only.
Anyone knows how to utilize the web cam to capature the high quality image in Flex?
Thanks a lot!

It is hard to believe that I've figured the whole thing out and accomplished my goal - while it being my first dip in flex & actionscript.

  • App to capture high quality video; clip; bulk export high quality?

    Our students capture long videos in a high quality format (.DV), then often want to define clips within the movie, and hand them off to Compressor for compression. Unfortunatly, with the changes in Final Cut Pro X, we can find no viable way of doing that, and we've searched for hours in the app and online. The closet we found was to export stems out of the FCPX timeline using Roles:
    http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/export-stems-out-of-your-final-cut-pro-x-timelin e-using-roles/
    For simply wanting to define multple clips (no combining of clips involved), this is rather tedious, but moreso, when we use this technique, indeed only the video and audio of the clips we hand off to Compressor is seen and heard, but we end up with video black on both sides of the clip, which greatly lengthens the processing time, not to mention that we then need to trim the dead air afterwards.
    We tried using iMovie 11, but unlike one or more previous versions, it is no longer possible to export multiple clips.
    We've downloaded Adobe Premiere, and will be testing this.
    Is there an OS X app that can capture high quality (.DV?) video/audio, make clips, then bulk export to .DV on disk, that doesn't cost over $500?

    Thank you, I'm exporting to DV now to try that out.
    I was choppy at my explanation, so let me go a little further. Maybe I do just use a DVD player to play this - but, let me explain further - maybe I'm not doing something right in creating the DVD.
    I 'shared' from iMovie to iDvd - and burnt right to a DVD. Again, the movie was shaky on the computer. We played it on a DVD player, still a little shaky.. but not near as noticable - it looked pretty good. BUT - this is when the dvd stopped. I hit play, and it picked up right where it left off. I also was skipping through chapters, and it stopped all of the sudden. I had to go back to the main menu to start over. This was all done on a dvd player. Eventually, we played the rest of the video and it went ok. But, something tells me there might be a glitch in the DVD I created.... ?
    Someone mentioned they had problems when exporting/burning right to dvd from iMovieHD. They said they exported out, then dragged the file into iDVD.. is that an option - if so, how would I go about doing that?

  • How to Take High Quality GIF Animation In After Effects? Could You Tell Me If You Know

    Some People Posting (In Behance) High Quality GIF Motion Graphics. How They Did?

    No such thing as a high quality animated gif if high quality means more than 256 colors and anti aliasing.
    If you want to create a better looking animated gif in After Effects then you render a lossless movie from your composition and then use Photoshop or another app to turn the movie into an animated gif.
    If you want to import an animated gif into AE then what you see is all there is. Gif's cannot contain more than 256 colors and anti aliasing is terrible to non existent.

  • How to Export High Quality Adobe Flash Professional CS6

    Okay, here's the situation. I've created a series of separate files of animations using .PNG images, and JPGs. Each animation is less than 1 minute long - and are separate files.
    I have tried exporting various ones, and have had absolutely no luck in getting anything resembling high quality. I mean the first animations made by humans were better quality than this.
    It's utterly ridiculous how bad this program works.
    Anyways...
    I've tried altering the frame rate, dimensions of the document, different export files, different players to view, I've gone into the settings and made sure the highest quality option is selected, etc. I've combed the internet for weeks and have read EVERYTHING on the subject (not much!!). I've also watched every relevant youtube video and nothing has worked!
    I am losing my mind over this.
    I even tried opening the files in Premiere and exporting them and they look even worse! What the hell is going on??
    The whole reason I began using Flash is because research led me to believe it was made for this purpose but it clearly can't do...anything.
    Is there any solution? Or should I just look into a different program?

    What Image Export Preset settings are you using?  (See and edit these via "Aperture→Presets→Image Export".)
    16-bit TIFF is the highest quality Image Format.  If you are using JPEG, set the Image Quality slider all the way to the right ("12").  Make sure size is set to "Original Size".  "DPI" has no bearing on image quality -- it is just a setting that some apps use to determine how big to display the image on the screen.

  • How do I export very high quality QT to be used for a DVD?

    I have a QT video (800x339, about 67mb) - it's a trailer for a movie that my daughter's in and I'd like to make put it on DVD using Adobe Premiere Elements. Unfortunately, Premiere won't accept this particular QT format (I don't understand why, but I just get an error saying that 'format not supported') - I can import other QT files, however.
    Anyway, Adobe's support pages suggest converting the QT file to another format - but I've tried everything I can think of, and I just get lousy quality. I've exported from QT Player Pro to DV and AVI, using the highest 'quality' settings, etc. Some of the files are 1.3gb or more, but they all are poor quality. Is there some codec that I need to get? I can re-export the movie as a QT file and it retains the high quality that it was originally recorded in. Help!
    pc Windows XP

    First, on the black bars.  I do not want them at all.  I cannnot post a screenshot now as
    file attachments are turned off temporarily, but they are about 5% on either side.  Totally unacceptable especially when in CS3 when exported to Encore there are NO black bars either visible in Encore or in the resulting DVD's
    On the options and is the preset saved.  I can close Encore and open it afresh and find the preset that I saved listed in the dropdown of presets with the name I saved it as and all the settings the way I want them.
    On the issue of Transcode settings when selecting the resource...  When I select the resource in the Project panel, or in the Timeline tab, the Transcode settings is greyed out.  I have consulted the help screens and forums for various ways to change the transcode settings and none of the suggested ways work.
    It looks like my CS4 install does not work the way yours does.  I am about to completely unistall CS4 and CS3 and all other Adobe products and try a fresh reinstall to see if that works.  Most likely I will simply reinstall CS#, since that works, and abandon CS4 for now as I am getting way behind on my work, and know I can finish with CS3.  I have also heard form others that Sony Vegas is really solid and does not have all these weird bugs such as seen in CS4 and CS5, and is a much less bloated product and does the encodings faster.  Since it is also less expensive, this seems too good to be true, but work a trial.  So first rip every Adobe product off  my PC and format the HD and start fress with JUST CS3 and get my work done.  Then try Vegas to see if it is as good as my buddies say, if so bye bye Adobe!

  • How to make High Quality HD DVDs from iMovie11 Toast 10 Titanium Pro?

    I was searching all over the net to find answers to a problem that I have with film making at home. I'm trying to become an Indie film maker on a small amount of money to start out, so to speak. I've asked Apple over and over for some help, but they say - we can't because we don't support third party solutions. I have iMovie 11 and iMovie HD 6. I use AVCHD 1080i camcorders and a GoPro HD Hero for time lapse shots. Toast 10 Titanium Pro and a external LaCie d2 Blu-ray Drive also external hard drives. I'm trying to make high quality HD dvd's and then Blu-ray disks later also for my ( high elevation mountain video) demos. Codec/compression - bit rate/data rate - key frame - sample rate and what software to use or not is all confusing me. I've tried and I'm still not making video that looks as good as it did when first imported into iMovie. Can anyone please help me out with this mater. Thank You Good Day

    Good FAQ type information [is at this link|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2424451]
    In general, import to iMovie in FULL, not LARGE.
    Export from iMovie using the SHARE menu. Use the 1080P Preset. You can SHARE/iTUNES, SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER, SHARE/MOVIE..., or FILE/FINALIZE PROJECT. All will use the 1080P preset.
    You can also SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME, but I would not recommend it unless you know what you are doing.
    Drag this file into TOAST 10 with BluRay plugin.
    Check FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES in TOAST to make sure you are burning at highest quality.

  • How to make high-quality DVD

    Now, I thought the Premiere/Encore can't export AVCHD disk.
    The menu describe form in the other one, I think is not  issue point and maybe operate mistake.

  • How to generate high quality PDFs?

    Hello everyone,
    Before I am told to use Google or search this forum for answers to my question, let me say that I have already done that. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution.
    My problem: Microsoft Word produces low quality PDFs rendering my work useless. The PDF fonts look nothing like those in Word, nor does the spacing. The same problem appears when I try to archive a word file, which is shown perfectly in the Preview box, as a PDF file. This makes me think that the PDF generator engine in OS X has a problem.(?)
    The only solution I have found: InDesign - the abundance of quality choices allows for a high quality PDF generation.
    Now, is there really no other way to generate high quality PDFs from Microsoft Word or the Preview? Do I have to recreate all my files in InDesign to ensure a high quality PDF output?
    I thank you for your time and answers beforehand!

    CarmeloX,
    you can use Photoshop 7 and PageMaker 7 (with two updates). Really no problem
    in Windows XP. Probably a problem in newer operating systems.
    Photoshop 7 is equipped with a very reasonable Color Management System.
    For PageMaker you'll need a Postscript driver and Distiller. Please ask here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/pagemaker_general
    This combination works perfectly, unless you want to handle so called  live transparency.
    Standard on/off transparency (PostScript) is fully supported.
    Then it's possible to create perfect PDFs for inkjets, wide format inkjets, toner printers
    and offset printing (PDF/X-1a for instance).
    Almost all docs here were made with Photoshop CS2 (or older versions), PageMaker 7,
    MathType and the PostScript editor PSAlter for technical illustrations:
    http://docs-hoffmann.de/howww41a.html
    Only recently I had converted everything into InDesign CS2 and newly converted to PDF.
    I've installed as well CS6 (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator), but mostly I'm using CS2.
    By the way - here you are not directly talking to Adobe ...
    Good luck and best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

  • How to capture the data if i am using two Fiscal year variant

    Hi
    My client is required need two type financial statement one is as per company act and calender year.  Other one is company act and fiscal year.
    regarding we have maintain two fiscal year variant one is assigned to company code as per calender yr other one is assigned to Spl.Pr G/L. but how to capture the financial data from company code in case we are using two fiscal yr variant.
    Rekha

    Hi
    U cannot maintain two two fiscal year varaint for a company code in GL. As said by u maintain one fiscal year varaint for GL and the other one for FI SL. When u post FI document in GL automatically the same will flow into FI SL for the corressponding period.
    For example ur Fiscal year varant is April to March in GL
    and Callendar year in FI SL and u do a posting in April 1 (period 1) in GL then it post it to  4th period in FI SL automatically since April is the 4th period in FI SL since it uses K4 as the fiscal year variant.

  • How to export high quality images from graphs

    Hello,
    I am absolutely no expert in this subject, so it may be that I say some aberrations
    So this is what I want to do:
    I perform signal processing of vibration data with LabVIEW. What I get as results are a lot of graphs such as spectrums, waveforms, intensity graphs, 3d surface graphs, etc. being the most important the 3 firsts.
    Then, of course, I need to write some reports or powerpoint presentations, and I need to show the plots as figures. The data that I have is very large, (a waveform is sampled at 1,25 MS/s and I am ploting 10 seconds) so I can only export the simplified version of the image to the by right clicking the graph and then I paste it in Paint and save it in bmp format.
    Sometimes I need to add some text on the images, so I do that also in Paint. Finally I import the bmp image to the word/powerpoint document and save it.
    When I make a report, I use one of the available tools to convert the word .doc document into a pdf document (this tools that are like a printer), so I get as a result a PDF with the text and the images.
    As you can imagine, the final result is not so good, particulary on the images. They are not so clear. I have seen some pdf documents which have images so clear that you can zoom it all you want and nothing happens. I believe these images are stored on a vectorial format.
    Well now I want to improve the quality of my reports so first of all I want to use some Latex software to write the text. And of course, I would like to have my graphs - generated by LabVIEW - in this vectorial format. Does anyone know how can I do this?
    I have read something about a dll which creates some .wmf image file but I don´t know very much about it.
    thank you in advance,

  • Need help : how to upload high resolution pictures

    Hi, can anyone help me out with this. whenever I'm adding any pictuers to my site they looks kinda cr*py. the reason it because it's resizeing the image to a much smaller resolution.

    - thanks in advance

    Maruf ~ Welcome to the discussions.
    1. iWeb > Preferences > make sure +“Optimize images on import.”+ is deselected.
    2. It may not be possible to prevent people from downloading your images — but you can watermark them. Let me... Well, see for yourself by clicking here.

  • How to import high quality video into FCP Studio

    I used Mac The Ripper to extract video off of some DVDs, that were NTSC.
    I then used compressor to match the frame rate of my timeline, 59.94.
    The video never looked great, even after I de-interlaced it. But after using compressor, this is the video noise I ended up with.
    Is there a good way to extract from DVDs. What are the best settings in Compressor to get the best results?
    My compressor settings:

    Thanks so much for you help! Your the best!
    I will try MPEG STREAMCLIP again. My earlier version does not seem to be working.
    The previous poster stated I needed to be the owner to rip DVDs.  Yet, I just wanted to point out that there are two instances where you actually do not need to own copyright. As I mentioned I have the releases from the copyright owners. And mentioning Fair Use was inportant to know about as well. But you're right,  not something to be cavalier about.
    Definitely,  what constitues Fair Use should be left to attorneys. There are very specific criteria that designates what is and what is not Fair Use. Happily the law has been recently changed so film makers doing documetnary work can editorialize, and commnet under the Fair Use doctraine and ripping DVDs under this doctraine is not punishable.
    The courts are broadly interperting the law, and as this link shows, even Yoko Ono couldn't stop a film maker from using IMAGINE, by John Lennon.
