I am trying to capture Live footage in Premiere

We are using 5 panasonic hpx500's that are being routed through extron boxes to resize the image to 720x480 prior to running into the switcher. I dont think thats relevent but want you to have all the info. after the switcher we send a second output to a computer. it is runing into a black magic hd extreme box in the back of my mac desktop and im using final cut to record the feed. I then open premiere and edit the services.
I want to stop using final cut and do all of my capturing and editing inside of premiere but i cant get adobe to recognize the black magic box.
Anybody know how to make that happen?
Thank you for your time,

  • Capturing live footage and FCE is trying to locate timecode breaks

    Hey,
    I am using my FCE to capture live footage from each event that I have. I recently started to have a problem with FCE trying to locate time code breaks in the capture, which pauses the capture each time which is footage that I can't get back.
    Is there some way to turn that off? I have been forced to use iMovie recently because of this problem but I really need to figure out why this problem would all of the sudden start to appear. Like I said it has worked fine for over a year and now all of the sudden it no longer works.
    Please let me know your suggestions.
    Thanks

    There are only two DV Converter presets in the list. I don't where thelaw3 is so I don't know how your converter box is set up so I can't tell which you should select. It's either PAL or NTSC. You need to read the manual for your converter box and look through the FCE manual.

  • I am trying to edit Camtasia footage and Premiere won't recognize the codec

    I downloaded and installed the tscc codec Camtasia uses. The .avi plays back fine from VLC and Media Player but Premiere doesn't recognize it. I have an older version of Premiere on an old work PC and it edits the codec fine but for some reason Premiere CC 2014 won't import it...

  • ISight Capturing Live Video

    hi all,
    I just got a macbook with a built in isight camera. The isight works fine for photobooth and iMovie. The problem i have is capturing live footage. I'm unable to have a video chat on ichat. Also, i tried using it on ustream.tv. It doesn't work. I changed the settings on the adobe flash player but it still didn't work. So, I think the problem is capturing live video.
    please help! It's frustrating me
    Thanks,

    Thanks for clearing that up, Labze89
    Based on that info, your iSight can certainly capture live video.
    Ustream identifies itself as a beta site, so you should expect to encounter some problems, but you should be able to resolve them.
    Good quality streaming video requires broadband speed. More info below on this subject. Contact your ISP if you need to purchase additional speed (bandwidth.)
    Streaming live video also involves proper settings for your modem (and router, if you have one). If you have not recently rebooted (shut down for about a minute and then restarted) your modem and router, do so now. Be sure to let the modem's self-test finish before starting the router. Let the router's self-test finish before restarting your Mac. Rebooting sometimes is all that is required. If restarting does not correct your problem, you will need to consider other possibilities.
    At least for users in the USA, enabling your router's "UP-n-P" setting is often all the router configuration that is required. However, sometimes manual port configuration is required. If so, the instructions for your router will give you the info on how to check and change the settings. What setting values you must use will come from the service (Ustream or iChat) you want to use.
    If you have enabled your Mac's System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall, enabling your router's "UP-n-P" setting may allow you to stream video without additional configuration of your Mac's Firewall. If the problem persist when your Mac's Firewall is set to "On" and your router's (if you use one) UP-n-P setting is enabled, you may need to configure the necessary ports on your router and in your Mac's Firewall. Search "Help" on your Mac or see this link for Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Setting advanced firewall options.
    Also, your ISP must not be blocking any ports required by the service you are attempting to use. See the ustream.tv FAQs for help on your ustream.tv problems. For your problem with streaming video, check FAQ #s 9, 7, and 15 first.
    To minimize possible conflicts, disconnect all unnecessary A/V peripherals (such as eyeTV, game consoles, iPods, etc.) and quit all other applications while troubleshooting your problem. You can try adding them back one at a time once you can make your streaming work reliably.
    If these and the other FAQs do not help you resolve your ustream.tv problems, and if you do not get help from some other Ustream user here, click ustream.tv's Contact Us link for email help directly from the people who determine how the site works. They should be your best source.
    <hr width="85%">
    If you use dial-up, or if your broadband speed is not fast enough, iChat AV will also have video problems.
    The Mac OS X 10.4: iChat AV system requirements show all requirements for using iChat AV. For instance, you will not be able to use iChat's video if you do not have at least 100 Kbps broadband both up and down. You can test your internet service's uplink and downlink speed (bandwidth) at Speedtest.net.
    If you need to post back for more iChat AV help, please confirm that your system meets all system requirements and list your uplink and downlink speeds in your response.

  • Capture live from camera

    Hi guys,
    I was trying to capture some footage straight from camera but it won't let me do it when I pressed the capture now button. It kept on treating the log and capture as if its capturing from tape. It was asking for the camera to be turned into vtr mode. I have done this before but I can't remember what I've done differently to make it work.
    Any suggestion will be greatly appreaciated.
    Thanks guys.

    James M. wrote:
    You might have done it before, but never with final cut pro... try using Quicktime for live capture.
    James, you sure about that? I can capture live by setting the L&C window to a non-controllable device and hitting capture now. That way FCP is not looking for something like a VTR to control, it just accepts whatever signal is present on the FW bus.

  • FCP unexpectedly quits when I try to capture HDV footage

    I'm trying to capture HDV footage shot on the Canon XHA1 and my FCP unexpectedly quits every time. I've used this type of footage and camera before with no issues.
    I've trashed the preferences, tried setting the scratch disk to an external drive and on the hard drive.
    I'm not sure what to try next?
    Do i have to re-install?
    anything would help!
    Thanks

    FCP version?

  • Capturing HDV footage with incorrect timecode

    Rookie mistake. I started shooting a new project on my brand new canon xh-a1s, and in the excitement I forgot to stripe my first few tapes. And it being a film project I've been constantly using the playback to look at the takes I just did. So what's happened is I don't have a nice clean 0;00;00 to 1;04;00 timecode on all the tapes, rather there are frequent spots on the tapes when it's started a new timecode at 0;00;00. So when I capture my footage into premiere pro cs3, it gets confused and either drastically unsyncs the audio or repeats the same 4 seconds of sound through the whole clip.
    Oddly enough when you play the captured footage outside of premiere, in windows media player say, it looks and sounds fine. But premiere chokes on it everytime I import it or capture it.
    Right now I've managed to capture successfuly going clip at a time with the capture now function, and staring at the timecode waiting to hit stop just when it gets to a new timecode. Sometimes I hit stop on time and it captures cleanly, sometimes I don't and it doesn't sync or skips the audio. But obviously trying to go through 8 hours of footage this way is an arguous, unreliable, and incredibly time consuming process. Logging clips doesn't work either because it never seems to stop the capture on time to save the clip.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as how I can get the audio into premiere properly without doing what I'm doing now?

    ...or, always look at the timecode display in the viewfinder or the LCD before you press REC.  The nice display will ALWAYS indicate when you've reset the timecode. If the display is 00:00:00.00 or similar and you are NOT the very beginning of the tape, pressing record will start a new time code sequence everytime.
    If you have END SEARCH, use it.  this will usually work as long as you haven't removed the tape.  Either way, rewinding the tape until a non-zero timecode appears and then pressing REC works.  The camera will increment the timecode from that value..
    I'm not at my editting station, but I seem to remember that PPPro has a capture setting that will cause it to ignore timecode breaks--you then edit out the rough section at each break when editing.  Unless you're going to do something clever like recapturing HDV after capturing SD, you're not going to use the timecode anyway.
    Then in the future, always look at the timecode display before you press REC.  There is really no reason to stripe if you always remember this.

  • Capturing Varicam Footage

    hey guys
    we are trying to capture Varicam footage shot at 40fps and 60fps through a AJA LHE card when we capture it not all the clip is there, we have tried setting in and out points, capture now and nothing works, and the preset is at DVCProHD 720P 23.98 Varicam. so what are work around is capture everything at DVCProHD 720P 59.94 and use the Varicam plugin to convert everything. but we should be able to just capture it, and the Deck we are using is the 1200A and it is outputting 720P 59.94.

    so then what is the 23.98 Varicam setup for.
    For when you shoot 24p at 23.98 with the Varicam. FCP will remove the redundant frames from the 59.94 frame rate to get you the proper footage.
    if we want the other frame rates we always have to capture at 59.94 and then convert.
    Then you need to do that. Capture them at 59.94 and convert to 23.98...meaning that both will be in slow motion. Unless you shot 59.94 24p (another possibility), in which case you can have the FRC remove the pulldown...redundant frames...for you.
    But if it is 60 and 40 for the sake of slow motion, then you need to capture at full frame rate and convert later.

  • Capturing Gaming Footage

    Hi,
    I want to capture a some game footage to use in a movie.
    I have tried snapz and btv but i'm not having any luck in capturing smooth footage, it jumps really bad, or doesn't capture at all. Does anyone have any ideas on what i could do to improve it or if there is some better software out there..
    Thanks
    Kelly

    What, exactly, do you want to do with the game footage after you've captured it? Since games can be processor and graphics intensive, you'll probably have a difficult time capturing the screen while you're using the Mac mini.
    Final Cut Pro will only import video from a FireWire connection to a DV camcorder. It won't really help you with a project like this.
    My first suggestion: Use the Apple DVI to Video Adapter to play your Mac mini's screen on a TV through a VCR. Then you could simply record the action on a videotape in the VCR. If you have a DV camcorder, you may be able to capture the footage to your camcorder instead of the VCR and then play it back directly to your Mac mini and capture it with iMovie. (Or, capture the footage on the VCR then play the VCR back to your camcorder to record it on DV and then play the DV tape back to the Mac mini/iMovie with a FireWire cable.) There are several different configurations like this that may work for you. Again, it will really depend on exactly why you're trying to capture the footage...

  • Can u capture live right to mac

    i want to know if i can set up my mac to capture live footage of my gl2 with out having to go to tape? any suggestions

    Just remove the tape from the camera and you should be good to go. The tape mechanism recognizes when a tape is loaded and will shut off after ~5 mins idle time to protect the tape & heads; no tape, no shutoff. Works in most miniDV camcorders.

  • Recording Live Footage Straight Into Final Cut X

    Does any know the reason why Final Cut X is not capturing my live footage straight from the camera? It is showing me the image but not saving it to my project.

    I think it can only capture live footage via Firewire equipped cameras, which basically means the old DV tape camcorders.
    If you are using a DV/HDV tape camera you will also probably find that you have to have a tape in the camera and start  the camera recording before FCP X will accept the live video  .  .  .  which is not a bad thing as you will also end up with a backup copy on tape should anything go wrong with the import.
    You can always re-use the tape later.

  • Can't capture w/ Firewire in Premiere CS4

    Hello All,
    I am trying to capture video footage from my Canon XL2 camera into Premiere CS4 using Firewire.  I keep getting the message that the 'Capture Device is Offline'.  I went into the camera settings and noticed that AV>DV was turned OFF, so I turned in to ON, but still nothing.  Not sure why I am having these issues when I haven't had them in the past.  Can someone help?

  • How Do you import C100 footage into Premiere Pro CC

    I just tried importing  Canon C100 footage into Premiere Pro CC, but get no sound. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I pray I don't have to convert this footage before bringing it in. Is there a workflow anyone can recommend? Do I have to convert the footage first? Thanks, Lucian

    Lucian,
    PrPro should work natively with the Canon C100 footage ... it works with almost everything out there. And with the C100 shooting MP-4, AVCHD, & H.264, those are all handled easily by PrPro.
    My question ... I would surmise (from what little info you include) you are shooting AVCHD? The reason I say this is that format splits audio & video into different files ... so it's a bit trickier to "import" than others that have the a & v in one file. Make sure you copied the whole top-leveL FOLDER and all sub-folders (not just the footage or contents of a folder) from the cam/card into the computer for AVCHD ... and then when you import into a project via the media browser your audio & video should be all connected by PrPro.
    There have been numerous threads here where AVCHD users have "lost" their audio, only to find they'd simply left it behind by NOT copying all the folders & subfolders their camera had created.

  • HELP! Audio Drops Out When Trying to Capture Canon XL2 Footage

    Please help me out here. I'm a freelance camera operator w/ a Canon XL2 and several times now I've gotten calls from the editors saying they're having problems logging my footage, mainly the audio drops out quite a bit, and I'm not talking bout one second for every 2 or 3 minutes. No. It's like every 10 seconds the audio drops in and out.
    What's the deal? Two times the guy was using a Panasonic DVX-100A to capture, another time it was a SONY DSR mini-DV deck. With each incident I had to go over with my XL2 and use it as the capture device, which is a pain.
    The program they're using is FCP HD or 5. But I think even when they just play the tape in their Sony or Pany cameras, the audio may still suck.
    Help me out here, I can't be the only one with this problem.
    Thanks.

    Well Robert Swanson, I hope my post wasn't taken offensively, it certainly wasn't meant as such. The only Canon camcorder I owned was the GL1. After switching to Sony's I can honestly say it would take something significant to go back. And, I was merely relating my experiences in trying to capture from other Canon camcorders so that I know where you are coming from. However, I am interested in the HVX being the "noisest" camera on the market. I am seriously considering this camera and would be interested in a review that points this out. I would be using the hard drive recorder instead of P2 cards.

  • DVCAM incompatibility? trying to capture...

    I'm trying to capture footage from a Sony DCR-VX9000E which records on DVCAM format. I attach the camera via firewire and iMovie says the camera is not attached. I'm trying to connect to a cube, also tried on my g4 powerbook and it won't read it either. Is this possibly a problem between the DVCAM format and iMovie? too complex/too simplistic?? Is it even possible to import footage from this format onto iMOvie? I'm at my wits end. I'm in the Czech Republic. Could it be a region dispute between the Camera (european) and apple? ANY INSIGHT would be amazing.

    could i hook up the DCR-VX9000E to my canon x90???
    that should work, as long as your canon has a analog.in, and the vx has a anlog-out (.... silly, it has, for sure ).... I hope you get the right cables....
    you could give it a try, and do that "live" meaning, using the canon as a "converter" for iMovie.. but lately we got lots of reports, that this "workaround" doesn't work anymore... give it a try: connect everything, caon via firewire to Mac and try an import.. if not, record on tape first, THEN import....
    besides to your other question: no, video standards NTSC/PAL are both handled by Mac/iM.........
