How to cross-cut between multiple cameras

I've been trying to find a step-by-step procedure for the most efficient way to cut from one video segment to another when more than one camera has been used to record the same event (with the audio from only one being used as the master audio track). I've looked at the tools for splitting segments, zeroing the video level, etc., but it seems like a cumbersome way to do this and doesn't lend itself to fine-tuning the jump point. Can anyone point me to a procedure that might have already been written (or give me the right term to search for in the help system)? This is Premiere Elements Version 3. Thanks!

Jim
I am assuming that you mean a straight jump cut rather than a fade.
What I do is put one video track on track 2 and one on track 3 (I don't use track 1). Get them perfectly aligned.
If you now watch you will just see track 3 as it overlays track 2.
When you get to the point where you want to switch to track 2, put a cut into track 3, at the point where you want to cut back to track 3 again put a cut in track 3.
Then set the opacity to the bit between the two cuts to 0%. This means that for that bit you will see track 2.
If you want to instead of doing a cut you can replace with a fade
Might not be the best way but it works for me and is reasonably quick. It also means that you only need to sync the two tracks once as you keep the whole of each track there, only adjusting the opacity.

How do I sync and switch between multiple camera angles?

I shot a concert with 3 HD cameras. I though it would be relatively simple to sync and cut between them but it's turning out to be much harder than I expected. I'm sure I'm not the first person to do this. Anybody have any tips and tricks on how best to combine these into a single multi-camera video?

Multicamera editing is not easy with Premiere Elements.
If you work in Mac environment, you can use Final Cut Pro X or Premiere Pro, they have multicamera functions which
permit simple editing by showing simultaneously video clips and you can choose by clicking the one you want to have
in the final movie.
In Windows environment, you have tools like Premiere Pro, or Sony Vegas Pro or Magix video deluxe Pro that are
natively supporting multicamera editing.
One important point is synchronizing the clips. If you are musical expert, you can do it with the sound tracks and align on the
sound curves, manually. Not easy for me, but I have a friend in my video group who makes it very well. In Mac environment,
Final Cut Pro X has an automatic function to synchronize video tracks on sound track basis. In windows, I know
there is a program : PluralEyes which does this synchro.
These different tools are not free unfortunately.
Best regards

How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

Hi All,
I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
thanks for your replies,
equi

Barney,
many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
Thanks,
equi

How can I select between multiple JREs to run an *applet* in MSIE??

(I'm posting this after spending quite a bit of time trolling the Forum for an answer, and could definitely use some help - thanks in advance!)
I've got an applet that opens a socket to a small server running on an embedded controller to download some data. Recently, it started taking forever (>30 seconds) to open the socket, but but once its open, the download is fine.
The problem seems to have cropped up around the time that JRE 1.5.0_02 came out. I'd like to do some testing with older versions to see if this is really true.
The environment here is Microsoft Internet Explorer running under XP Pro.
It appears that the version of JRE loaded by the browser will depend upon a registry setting, and while I've found several likely candidates in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT|LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE|JavaSoft, none of them seem to make a difference. I restarted the browser after each attempt, but did not reboot the machine. I also experimented with CLASSPATH, but that seemed to be ignored as well.
Again, the goal is to be able to switch between JREs involked by the browser for an applet.
Can anyone offer some help on how to do this.
Thanks, - LR
PS - I know the delay in the applet is occuring when the socket is opened because I surrounded the Socket() call with two System.err.println() calls, and can see it hanging there. The first println happens, there's a long pause, and then I see the second one simultaneously with my server showing that the data is being served.

Chuck,
First of all, thanks very much for the quick reply
I took a look at your post, and the reference in the Java Deployment Guide it mentions. I was able to run jpicpl32.exe in the /oldversion/bin, enable it for the browser, and get the old version running.
But now I can't seem to get back to the current one. When I execute Java from the XP Control Panel and look in Java|Java Applet Runtime Settings, I see only the new version (1.5.0_02). If I select it, and then hit OK and Apply, when I restart the brower I still get the old version (1.4.2_07).
What am I missing?
Thanks again,

How to sync podcasts between multiple computers

I'd like to be able to keep my podcasts in sync (last played position, downloads, subscriptions) between my home Macbook, my work Macbook, and my iPhone 5. Any suggestions of how to do so? It would seem the two computers need to share the same iTunes library database file, which could perhaps be done via Dropbox? But I don't need all my music to be shared between the two computers (and don't want the library on Dropbox).

Actually I have tried export/import but it has not worked properly. The ict files either don't all tranfer right, one time I had duplicate events, etc. Setting up a LAN is not really an option.
It looks like from all other information I've read that doing it through .mac it simplest, I may have to go that route. Thank you.

How to prevent interference between multiple Kinect v2 sensors

Hi,
I have an application which used to use 3 Kinect v1 with partially overlapping field of views to have a large field of view of a scene. I am trying to upgrade this application to be able to use 3 Kinect v2, as the Kinect v1 is now discontinued.
I am having problems dealing with interference on the depth stream. Every now and then, the light from one of the Kinect will give bad readings on another Kinect... This is not new, the Kinect v1 had interference problems too.
To solve the interference problems with the v1, I used to simply toggle the IR emitters ON and OFF. Since my 3 Kinects don't need to acquire a frame at the same time, 2 of them would turn their emitters OFF and the one Kinect that would need to acquire a
frame would turn its IR emitter ON.
Now, since we can no longer control the IR emitter directly, can any one give me a good solution for preventing my Kinects from interfering each other ? My Kinects don't need to acquire a frame at the same time, but they may need to each acquire a frame
on a short interval (about 100ms), so closing and opening the Kinects is not an option as up to 2 seconds can pass between the call to KinectSensor.Open() and the first non-null depth frame.
Thank you.

I've been pricing builds on Newegg that I could turn into a small Kinect cluster. I need three for what I want to do. this is what I have right now. It's going to be a while before I can build up three grand so I don't know if I'll ever
get to do it. But on the bright side I would be able to use it as a cluster for other projects as well, so...yeah. I was thinking i5 but the linked conversation is deterring me from that. Would you be willing to let me know some more of your system's
specs? Would love some input from anyone willing to offer any!
Link to conversation that deterred me from i5, specifically the post from "Carmine Si - MSFT":

Cross dissolve transition between multiple video tracks?

I'm wanting to cross dissolve between 2 clips, with each clip consisting of 2 or 3 video tracks (one clip is a still image in track v2, sitting above a color matte in v1; the other clip is motion footage in v1, with another cropped motion image in v2 and v3). When I put cross dissolves between the 2 clips (ie 2 dissolves, one for video track v1 and one for v2), the dissolve is "messy", showing the cropped images in v2 and v3.
To make the dissolves "clean" I can render and export the multiple-track clips, but then I have to add handles to allow the dissolve, and then it takes time to resync each clip, which is very annoying!
Is there a technique for making cross dissolves between multiple-track video clips?

Any other suggestions? <</div>
Practice and logical deconstruction.
If your original clip is 10 seconds and your nest is 10 seconds you must trim off 2 seconds of the nest to perform a 2-4 second dissolve. If that pulls too much of your original clip out of the timeline, you must add two seconds to the original clip so the nest is 12 seconds long so you can trim off the 2 seconds requried to perform the dissolve.
An easier way of accomplishing this is to stack the two nests and apply a keyframed opacity ramp to the upper track. This will help you visualize what you're doing wrong and how to add more handles to the upstream clips.

I setup messaging on my verizon, however I have multiple lines on the account and it is showing messaging only for one phone line. Is there a way to toggle between multiple lines on the myverizon site?

How do I toggle between multiple phone lines while on the myverizon website in regards to messaging?

The Account Owner can see the call/text logs for all lines on the account, but each line needs its own My Verizon account for messaging and backups. Those lines will be listed as Account Members and will have limited info. available to them regarding the account.

Switching between multiple libraries

So heres the deal. I have a 30G Video and my father has a 30G Video also. He likes his music the way it is and I do too. I have heard that you can create multiple libraries so you dont have to create different Login names (windows, we both share one computer.) So the thing is, how do you switch between those libraries? I tried just opening the library but all that does is add my library to the current one.
How can I swith between multiple libraries with ease and without messing any of the music in them up.

I downloaded a program that allows me to use it, thanks

Why is there a popping noise when I cut between angles in a multi cam edit? How do i get rid of it?

I shot an interview. I recorded it on an h4n-One person was on channel 1 and the other was on channel 2. When I cut between them in a multi edit it creates a popping noise. How can I get rid of this and/or prevent this from happening?

I had this.. I didn't cure it I just slipped the edit until it went. Not always possible. What I would do on avid or fcp 7 is add a dissolve to the audio tracks.. So you could do that in the fcp x way

How to cut between clips?

I'm not sure how to cut between two clips in a sequence.
I uploaded a screencast documenting my frustrations: http://youtu.be/gIMspPJxXF4
After uploading and carefully reading Cutting Two Camera Shoot and watching Multicamera Editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 - YouTube which is slightly outdated since Multicamera UI is now hidden in the Program monitor settings, I did manage to make an edit that switches between my GoPro of my head and my screencast. But I did find the whole "Multicamera" process a bit long winded. Am I missing a trick?
Furthermore on the same sequence I found it impossible to apply a Fade to white transition to both the screencast and video of my head at the same time. Maybe I'm not versed in selections.

Wow, that was confusing watching those videos. There's a couple ways to quickly set up and run a multicam switch in PPro CC 2014 but here's how I do it:
1) Sync up your clips. Align them how you want either using plural eyes or just do your own visual/audio sync (premiere has it's own audio sync which you can google how it works but I've found it not 100% accurate)
2) Hold down ALT and select only the video clips you want to cut between.
3) Right click on those highlighted clips and select NEST
4) That creates one nested clip on video track 1. (Because of the way I do this it still leaves the audio visible from all the cameras/sources below so they can be accessed right on that timeline.) Now right-click on that nested video track and select MULTICAM>Enable.
5) Now go to the PROGRAM window/panel and hit the + button on the bottom right. You'll see one icon that looks like windows, drag that out to the project panel so it stays visible always.
6) Click on that little window icon (if you hover over it, it should say multicam window or something like that). Now you'll see all the cameras at once and also another window that shows what camera is "live". It's ALL in the Program window now ever since the last few versions of Premiere.
7) Basically just hit play and start clicking on those little camera windows in that program monitor/panel as the video plays and it will record all your cuts. When you hit stop or pause, you'll then see all those cuts populate your video track. Done super easy.
8) To change a cut after you've stopped the playback you can bring the play head over the clip you want changed and then just click on the camera window that you want to change it to. Also, using the "n" or nudge tool helps you drag the cut or edit points forward or back in time.
Hope that helps! Enjoy!

How does iPhoto Save photos from multiple Cameras

I have had a Mac for about 18 months. I have a Canon Digital Elph 410. Because I had only photos from this one camera I never have worried about naming. So all my photos are sequentially numbered IMG_0031, IMG_0032 etc. This last weekend, for a big trip, I purchased a Panasonic with a zoom lens. I also have on order a replacement for my Elph, a Canon SD630.
How will iPhoto distinguish between the similarly numbered photos from different cameras? The Panasonic may have a different numbering scheme, but the newer Elph is likely to come up with identical numbers as my old Elph. I know enough that when iPhoto asks me to replace I will say no. But how will I get the newer photos of the same serial number onto my iMac without erasing the old photos? Does iPhoto have a way---opaque to the user---of distinguishing between these two sets of photos based on the day they were shot?
Thanks.

Importing shouldn't be a problem, iPhoto will figure it out and nothing will get deleted.
You can have multiple files with the same "title" in iPhoto. The title is what you see in iPhoto, not the actual filename of the file stored on the disk, though the two are usually identical upon import.
For iPhoto5, it works like this:
1) If two different photos with the same name and date are imported, the second gets a "_1" appended to its filename on the disk but the titles you see in iPhoto will still be identical to the original filename.
2) If two photos with the same name but different dates are imported, they are stored in different folders in the iPhoto database so no "_1" is appended and, again, the titles you see in iPhoto will be the same.
3) If the photos are identical, a dialog box will pop up to ask you what to do. You can apparently import the same photo more than once.
iPhoto6 has a different directory structure on the disk so (2) may not apply. In any case, there shoudn't be a problem.

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups
