How to view every frame, full res, in Viewer... settings?

Hi, We use a strobe flash to sync multiple cameras on a live shoot (DV, NTSC, SD footage). Since I began using FCP and multi-cam, I can not always find the frame where the strobe pulses. Is there a way to increase the viewer settings to view every frame in full res? I would only need this to find the sync point then adjust back to normal editing settings. Thanks.

In my ongoing HDV to SD investigations, I needed a view that was 1:1, and showed both fields of interlacing, and 100% seemed to be it - I think I just happened upon it, by trial and error.
Glad to be able to share though.

While on that subject, MPEG StreamClip is the only viewer I know of that does the same thing for the playback of interlaced MPEG's, you set the window zoom to match the frame size, and you get 1:1 interlaced viewing, aspect corrected on the horizontal, not the vertical.
FCP, for the longest time, used to aspect correct on the vertical (scale the height, while keeping the width 1:1) but this is not what you want for seeing fields at 1:1. I'm glad to report FCP5 now scales the horizontal to correct aspect ratio (when view as square pixels is ticked) and keeps the vertical, and therefore the fields, at 1:1.
Quicktime, and VLC both do field blending when viewing interlaced mpeg's, so you don't see the real interlaced footage. I actually prefer to see interlacing in computer monitors, especially if it is updated, one field at a time, at 60 updated fields per second - I think MPEG Streamclip does this - it might not though - its hard to fully see, but it looks smoother than the canvas / viewer playback, which is 30 frames per second.

  • How to import DVD+VR (full res.) into iMovie HD?

    I created the disks from old VCR tapes using a Lite-On DVD Recorder and now I want to edit them (full res.) and burn them back to DVD. This is one of the main reasons I purchased this comp. (sales clerk said it would do it "No problem") I've tried a couple different programs but it always comes out pixelated. This is my first Mac and everything else works great.
    Thanks in advance,

    Creating a DVD has already seriously compressed your VHS footage, so you can't edit at full resolution. The best way to use iMovie to convert VHS to digital is to use a miniDV camcorder as a pass-through between VCR and Mac. This will get your footage imported at the best resolution. You can edit in iMovie, send to iDVD to finish and compress to DVD format.

    You can convert yor DVD files into something that iMovie can handle, but you will have to get additional software for the conversions. Also, your quality will suffer. See how here:

  • How to see every frame of an inserted movieclip?

    Suppose I have a flash movie with 100 frames and on frame 20
    I insert a movieclip with 10 frames.
    When I scrub through my timeline and get to frame 20-30 i
    only see the first frame of my inserted movieclip.
    Is there anyway of enabling so that you see each frame of all
    movieclips no matter how many you have
    inserted inside each other?
    Thx for listening :)

    I forgot to mention that you should convert it mack to a MC
    when you are done so it can be targeted
    with AS.
    Graphic symbols can also have their own number of layers and
    frames - most animators work inside
    Graphic symbols to keep animations in sunc with each other -
    they can also control the graphic
    symbol with the Properties panel as well. many uses.
    But my suggestion was a temporary one for you - switch it
    back when you need it to be a MC.

  • How do I get a full screen pre-view on my ipad air when connecting my samsung NX 300 camera

    When connecting my samsung nx300 camera via wifi to my ipad air using samsung smart camera app I can only get a small pre-view window on the corner of the screen (80x40) The camera as been back to samsung and they have confirmed that it is working ok.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Doesn't solve your wifi connection problem, but you can use Apple's camera connection kit to transfer pics/videos from your camera. You can connect the camera to the iPad using a USB cable or use the camera's SD card.

  • Set sequence to low res, chromakey and then render full res

    I have a sequence (original footage is DV50) and I'm working with stills for background.
    Everytime I do something, I have to re-render.
    I'd like to set the sequence to a setting where I can put down all my assets, set ins and outs (with fades and stuff) and be able to get a good grip. Then I'd like to render at full resolution and make any necessary changes.
    I'm experimenting with the "RT" button, but even when all settings to low, I get "Unrendered".
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    4499x3301 is huge for FCP. That's way.
    Are you aware of things like 'Option \' (Play every frame).
    It plays every frame full res, but only on the speed that it can cope with. Saves you lots of renders (and thus rendertime and diskspace)
    Or use QuickView (Option 8) on a part from in to out point. That makes it possible to see only a part of a clip that needs to be rendered.
    Or when you need to view timing of moving objects, you can choose to use the wireframes of the images. With the desired clips selected in the timeline and the pointer being within the selection, press 'w', until you see the wireframes only. (Use 'w' once or twice again to toggle to normal view and normal view with wireframes).

  • ICloud Photo Libary Full Res Download?

    I read that the high resolution originals can still be downloaded on request. How is this done on the iphone? How do I download a full res image within the iphone photos app? I currently use the Optimise storage option.

    wondering about that too ... not seeing any option allowing this. Only thing I heard is that high res would be downloaded on the fly while editing. Then back to "optimized" after the syncing with iCloud.

  • 1. How to view my work full screen? 2. How to make "F" keys behave proper?

    Hello All,
    Two softball questions for FCP batting practice:
    1. Somewhere along the way, I came across an explanation on how to make my canvas full screen. I found a post mentioning View, External Video, and something about cinema (not in front of it right now). I don't have an external monitor, so how can I accomlish this on my laptop?
    2. Speaking of laptops, many of the "F" keys don't work as described in the manual. For example, F12 brings up a dashboard with weather in Cupertino, CA. Not exaclty conducive to my workflow. Is there a place to tell the MacBook Pro that when operating this application, default to the "F" commands within the software?
    Thanks All.

    Hey Steve,
    Point well taken. In the past week, I purchased a camera, Final Cut, MacPro, Mic, Lights, Tripod, etc. I have purchased two books that were recommended on this site (both excellent), and a CD tutorial. I have been out shooting every day, doing tutorials and editing (to the best of my ability) every night. All of that being said, it's a tremendous amount of information, and some of the finer points get lost. I am pleased to say that I have completed my first piece on hunger experienced by seniors in our community. Very gratifying.
    So, I fully appreciate the apparent laziness inferred from my post, but trust me, I'm fully engaged, just overwhelmed.
    Shane, thanks for "pinch hitting". Both solutions worked.

    Hey so here is a tip to avoid it '''in future''': look in front of the Full screen option (or anything that you click upon). In this case it says F11 is the keyboard shortcut. So you'd know how to bring it back or restore it.
    And solution '''for now''': Press F11!
    Hope it helps.

  • How can I check the locV of a sprite on every frame?

    I'd like to know how can I tell Director, in Lingo, to check
    the position of a sprite in every frame in order to use that
    position to set the value of a global variable. I want to avoid
    having an on enterFrame script on every frame as I will need to do
    this with various sprites all the time. I tried an on enterFrame
    movie script but when I check the value of the variable with the
    message window it's always 1 (I initialized the variable with that
    value), regardless of wether the condition is being met on that
    specific frame or not. I also placed an on enterFrame script on the
    sprite and it would not work either. According to the
    documentation, on beginSprite only works if the sprite was not on
    the stage previous, and this sprite will always be on the stage,
    just in a different locV when I need it to be.
    Any suggestions please?

    Here's how you could create a single list containing all the
    locV values that you want:
    global gLocVList
    on enterFrame
    if ilk(gLocVList) <> #propList then
    gLocVList = [:]
    end if
    vSpriteList = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19] -- or other
    spriteNums
    repeat with vSpriteNum in vSpriteList
    vLocV = sprite(vSpriteNum).locV
    gLocVList.setaProp(vSpriteNum, vLocV)
    end repeat
    end enterFrame
    However, it seems rather pointless to do this, as it checks
    the locV of every sprite on every frame whether you need that
    information or not. Since the sprite references are globally
    available anyway, you would use fewer CPU cycles if you just asked
    for...
    sprite(x).locV
    ... (where x is a sprite name or spriteNum, or a variable
    holding such information ) whenever you actually require the value
    of the locV.

  • How can I create a full-screen view of Keynote slide in Snow Leopard?

    How can I create a full-screen view of my Keynote slides in Snow Leopard?
    I'm going to be importing into ScreenFlow to create a video.
    Thank you!!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Do you want static screen captures or motion video of slides as titles, bullet points, and the like are presented?
    Run the Keynote slide presentation in full-screen mode, then...
    Static full-screen captures - use Command+Shift+3.
    Static partial-screen captures - use Command+Shift+4 and use cursor to select the area of the screen to capture.
    If you want motion video as builds occur, why not use Keynote's built-in Share, Export function?
    (I'm on iLife '09.)
    Also understand that the default slide format for Keynote is 1024x768, not full-screen MacBook 1280x800 screen size, so you'll have wide black borders unless you change the default size or crop the finished screen captures.
