I'm currently capturing with an Xha1 camera.  What recorder could I use instead for use on cc7?

Instead of using my Xha1 to caputre HD footage to Adobe's cc7 software, is there a compatable HD recorder I could use instead, to save on the wear and tear of the camera's heads?

It depends what frame format you record in. If you shoot interlaced, most any HDV camcorder or deck will work. If you shoot progressive, i.e. 25p or 30p, only Canon devices will work, due to a proprietary method to write to the tape.
The least expensive HDV camera that Canon still sells is the HV40, but I'm sure you could pick up a HV20 or HV30 fairly cheap on eBay or such.
That said, head wear is largely a myth for these cameras, but if you are starting and stopping the tape a lot for transfer, worrying about wear on the transport mechanism is not unrealistic.

  • I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?

    I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?  I had previously read that you only need a plug convertor (three prong to two prong).  But I'm terrified that my iMac will blow up if I only use a plug convertor and not some sort of voltage convertor (Transformer).

    I'm not really hardware tech savy - is it easy to pop out the UK power cable and plug in the US power cable? Or do I need to get someone like an iMac support guy to do this? And because of the voltage difference, is there something built into the iMac that takes care of the voltage difference for me?  Thanks!!

  • Video capture with Sat Pro M70: What ports and leads can I use?

    I want to edit my home movies on my Sat Pro M70 using WXP Pro (win dvd or movie maker). I want to capture the video from my panasonic camcorder which has digital tapes. what ports can I use and what leads do I need? I am desperate to edit my recent wedding video to put onto DVD and post to my mum. The panasonic website has been ignoring me! Any advice anyone ??

    Well, as far as I know this unit has only an S-video out port. In this case you can connect the notebook to the TV and watch the picture from notebook on TV but its not possible to receive any signals from TV or any other device on notebook.
    To receive the signals you need a composite port or an s-video in port.
    However, if the camcorder has a firewire port so you can send the digital files thru the firewire connection. But this should only works with digital files which are saved on the camcorder.

  • Long encoding times for footage captured with BMD H.264 Pro Recorder

    Hi there,
    I'm experiencing very long render times when encoding footage captured with the BMD H.264 Pro Recorder. Watching it encode (either through Premiere CS6, or AME) it looks like the encoding stops for periods of time. With other footage I can encode a 50 minute project in about 15-20 minutes, encoding with footage from the Pro Recorder is almost 1:1 in terms of project length/encode time.
    The Pro Recorder uses QuickTime for H.264 captures, so don't know if that is causing issues. Don't seem to have the same issue with other H.264 formats.
    System Info:
    Windows 8 Enterprise (RTM)
    HP Z820 with dual hexcore processors, 32GB RAM
    Quadro 2000 plus Tesla for Maximus configuration
    All latest updates have been installed (yesterday)
    MPE is enabled for project
    Also tested on a Z800 with Windows 7 and got same results
    Editing the footage is fast and playback through timeline looks great. Anyone have a suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    QuickTime is still a 32 bit process and the 64 bit PP has to use a sort of "band-aid" to make QuickTime files work right.  It's possible that might slow things down.

  • I need C source code to capture with NI1424. Camera Megaplus ES310T

    There is no problem using Labview capturing frames. But i need to capture frames using C Builder. I would be greatfull if you supply me with source code or dll.

    If you still need it, you can download NI-IMAQ 2.5.1 from the following link: All Versions - Vision.
    I ran the installer for NI-IMAQ 2.5.1, and Borland C++ support is one of the options that shows up in the feature selection step of the installation. In order to program in Borland, make sure this option is selected. I also noticed that no Borland example programs are included with the driver.
    Your best option is to install support for Microsoft Visual C++ as well, and to take a look at how those examples were written. They should show up in the "sample" directory once installed. Unfortunately, Borland
    is not supported by the current version of IMAQ. I searched for other examples online, but did not find any.
    The library file for Borland can be found in the "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-IMAQ\Lib\Borland" directory. This file will be needed when programming with Borland. Please refer to the NI-IMAQ User Manual and NI-IMAQ Function Reference for more information.

  • Footage captured with a still camera

    A friend recently captured a small video clip with a Kodak ultra-zoom still camera (5 megapixels, camera is a few years old) but the video needs to be rotated. Can iMovie 2009 do this? My friend has an older version of iMovie than I do. (I also have Final Cut Studio and QuickTime Pro and X). My friend reports that the video needs to be rotated (presumably 90 degrees) but he "Can't do it with regular Quick Time - I've tried - says I need to purchase Quick Time Pro in order to do that kind of editing!"
    Can iMovie help here?

    Yes. Import into iPhoto. Then open iMovie. Let it generate thumbnails for iPhoto.
    Then create an iMovie Project. Drag this clip from the iPhoto Event into the Project. Then use the Rotate tool.
    Finally, you need to Share your movie.
    There are good tutorials for all this available in the Help menu.

  • What techniques could be used to remove this camera operator reflection?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvEq-kJufNI&feature=youtu.be
    An important note: The clip will become black and white in the final movie.
    Thank you.

    I would trim the shot to just the footage necessary to tell the story first because this is going to be tough. The worst parts are where the guy in the dark blue suit provides a background for the reflection just as the door closes.
    Here's how I would approach the fix. Photoshop's healing brush is probably the best tool for generating a clean plate I would try painting a frame at a time in Photoshop being as careful as you can to remove just enough to break up the reflection instead of completely remove it. The dirty window is your friend here. Here is a side by side comparison I did of a screen grab in Photoshop that took only 5 strokes with the healing brush. The closing door should hide the flicker completely if you don't get too aggressive and you remember what you were painting.
    Retouch just enough frames to cover the worst of it.
    Check playback to make sure that you are not introducing flicker that is worse than the original problem.
    When the door closes and the reflection is pretty much hidden stop. Back in AE take a close look at the shot and in the few remaining places that movement by the camera operator give him away ADD some grunge to the shot that can be faded in and out slowly to hide it just to cover the telltale movement.
    You've got to remember that the audience isn't going to be scrutinizing every frame and that hiding only the give away parts and throwing in a little extra grunge is the best way to handle this problem.

  • I have had a real problem after installing ML. In mail my archive files were tripled (exact copies), then when I tried to remove one set of the archives, they all disappeared taking all of my files with them.  Any comments which could be useful would good

    I have had a real problkem after installing ML.  The archives in my MAIL tripled (exact copiesof the original files) and when I tried to delete the extra ones, all of my files disappeared.  Is there any way that I can get them back as I need them for business?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • HT201210 I upgraded from iPhone 3G to 4S a few days ago. I choose the option to restore from my last 3G backup. It worked fine but I just realized that I do not have the new apps which come with the 4S. What should I do? Thanks for any help. Léo

    I upgraded from iPhone 3G to 4S a few days ago. When setting up the new 4S, I choose to restore my last 3G backup. It started by updating the OS to version 5.1 (9B179) then restored my apps and setting. Everything went well except that I realized I do not have the new apps which come with the 4S, like FaceTime, HD video and Siri.
    What should I do to correct this?
    Thank you in advance for any help on this.

    Ah, FaceTime is not an app, either. It's accessed by tapping the FaceTime button when you are in the contacts app and have selected a contact. This can also be done from the Phone app under the Contacts tab, or during a call, you can switch to FaceTime.
    Let me know what other apps/features you are missing.

  • I have been trying to download free apps and keep getting error messages about problem with pmts, no matter what credit card I use. Why

    Why is this happening? It shouldn't  on free updates or apps.

    Based on what you have said so far there is no way to answer your question. You must have a valid payment method on file with the iTunes store, even to download free apps. The payment method is used to verify who you are. The profile information in your iTunes account must match the information for the credit card you have entered.

  • Capturing 24p with non 24p camera

    Ive been having lots of capture problems, i know this, so please be patient. So i shot my footage on 24p but am capturing with a cheaper camera so I don't wear down my heads. But when I capture it, it imports it not as 24p, my easy setting is in 24p. The other thing that tipped me off is whenever i brought a clip into the timeline, it needed to be rendered. I then switched my easy setting to dv-ntsc, and opened a new sequence. Then, when I brought in the same clip, not recaptured, it did not need to be rendered. Im wondering if this is due to the camera Im using to import. Thanks.

    24p and 24 pa are two distinct beasties. 24p is actually recorded at 29.97 and you just import it as regular dv.
    You are using a 24pa easy set up; hence your confusion. Search the forum, plenty of reading on this.
