I need to capture directly into Imovie using EyeTV.

I can capture directly into EyeTV software no problem. I have an EyeTV 200 with a firewire connection. I can export from Eye TV into Imovie. I would like to remove a step and capture from my EyeTV directly into Imovie. Currently I get a message that says "No Camera Attached". Does anyone know a work around?

The EyeTV hardware/software mpg-2 compresses the content on capture. If you have the latest EyeTV software, the software will let you export the content in DV format for use in iMovie and iDVD which it appears you have been doing.
As for >>I would like to remove a step and capture from my EyeTV directly into Imovie.<< That can't be done.

  • HELP! need to get DV into imovie using Quicktime 7 pro

    Hi there, I need help! I have a movie that is in dv format. I downloaded Streamclip and converted it. Now imovie tells me that I have to have Quicktime 7 pro to change the movie into smaller clips so imovie can import the clips.
    Is there any other way? If I buy Quicktime 7 pro, is it actually going to be possible to edit my movie in imovie? I don't have a dvd burner for my mac to save it when I am done. Any suggestions on what I should get? I really know nothing about movies...yet!

    Yes. Use the in and out points to create a selection. Set the in at the beginning and the out about halfway.
    I think iMovie 4 has a 2GB limit. Let's assume your file is 4GB in size. Make your selection to create a 2GB selection and then use the "Trim" or "Cut" to remove it from the source. Don't worry. We'll fix this later.
    Choose "Save As" and pick the MOV extension. This will place your DV file into a .mov container. No changes are made to the true .dv format.
    Now you have one 2GB "chunk" of your file.
    Back to Streamclip. Note the "time" of your cut so you can find your place for the second chunk. From the Edit menu choose "Undo". This should restore your original file.
    Trim or cut the other half of your file. Use Save As to create a .mov file of the second half.
    Import these smaller pieces into iMovie 4. When your Project is completed you can delete your original DV file and the smaller .mov files to free up valuable hard drive space.

  • Can i import an iPhoto slideshow directly into iMovie?

    I know you can export an iPhoto slideshow to QuickTime, and then import that into iMovie.
    Just wondering if you can eliminate the middle step and go directly into iMovie.

    You'll need to export the movie out of iMovie to the Desktop via the Share ➙ File menu option.  Import the movie file from the Desktop into iPhoto and when you've confirmed that the movie is safely in iPhoto you may delete the copy from the Destkop.
    To send the movie from iMovie to other apps like iDVD that have access to the Media Browser use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option.

  • Record directly into iMovie?

    I was wondering if I could set up a camera, and record directly into iMovie. I have a long program I need record, and would love to record (import) directly into iMovie.

    Yes you can. But there may be occasional short pauses while your Mac "takes a breath" and indexes what it's storing on your hard disc, etc.
    Remember that DV video takes up about 13 gigabytes of space per hour, so you'll need that much free space on your disc per hour of recording, and keep about 10% of your total hard disc space free, so that your Mac can still do its internal housekeeping.
    You'll need, of course a camcorder with a FireWire/DV/i.Link connection (..all the same thing; just different names for it!..) which generally means a tape-based miniDV camcorder.
    (..Although hi-def HDV camcorders have the same FireWire connection, and record onto the same miniDV tape, there's quite an 'overhead' of processing power which your Mac requires in order to convert the incoming hi-def video into the 'Apple Intermediate Codec' format which lets iMovie edit hi-def, so I'd stick with standard-definition DV if I were you!..)*
    Depending on the make and model of camera, you may need to put a tape in the camera - or not - and switch it to either Record or VCR mode. (..In a quick test here I've just turned on my Sony camera in 'Camera' mode with a FireWire cable connected, and iMovie is displaying the picture from the camera, and imports it when I click iMovie's "Import" button..)
    "..I have a long program I need record.." ..erm, if you're pointing it at a TV screen to record that, you'd want the camera on some sort of support, and - if you have Manual Focus - you may want to de-focus slightly to avoid the moiré pattern which you might get from tightly focused dots (pixels) on the screen. You'd also want to adjust the camera's White Balance so that the screen looks the right colour!
    *P.S: hi-def HDV takes up more than 13GB per hour, so if you were to use hi-def HDV you'd need to allow much more (..up to 4x more..) hard disc space per hour of recording!

  • Import From iPhone 3GS Directly Into iMovie '09?

    I don't think this is possible. Can you import from your iPhone 3GS directly into iMovie '09?
    With my iPhone 3GS docked, if I go to File > Import from Camera… the only device I get is my iMac's iSight camera. Why doesn't the iPhone 3GS show up?
    Yes, I know you can import videos into the Finder using Image Capture. And you can import them into iPhoto and THEN into iMovie. But how come you can't go directly from your iPhone 3GS into iMovie '09?

    You right about the iPhone 3Gs work-flow:
    _ Connect your iPhone 3Gs to your Mac
    _ Launch iPhoto
    _ Import the iPhone 3Gs videos using iPhoto
    _ Launch iMovie
    _ iMovie automatically detects the videos from iPhoto & requests if you want to Generate Thumbnails
    _ Then go to the iMovie > Event Library > iPhoto Videos

  • How to dump .mod directly into iMovie without having to convert to .m4v?

    I cannot dump my video directly into iMovie 9 from Canon FS200. It goes to a document which I then have to laboriously convert - one clip at a time - to .m4v using Handbrake. Only then will iMovie take them. How do I bypass that conversion and get video directly into iMovie?

    Yes. It can be done. But Math script can not evaluate all functions in .m files (There are some exceptions).
    And those can perhaps easily be ported to LabVIEW/MathScript?
    It is not sufficient to disregard running your Matlab code in LabVIEW based on a few exceptions without first thoroughly evaluating the impact they have.
    If you want to stick with Matlab in your implementation, then there are other avenues than hypotethizing about the limited portability issues of using MathScript in your project?

  • IFrame import DIRECTLY into iMovie 11

    How do I import iFrame video DIRECTLY into iMovie 11?  I recently upgraded from iMovie 09 to iMovie 11.  Also, I bought a new camera (Canon) and it has
    iFrame.  I recorded a test video in the iFrame mode.  I opened iMovie.  If there is a way to get iMovie to grab the video directly from the camera, I cannot find it.  Previously I used a Panasonic Lumix.  iMovie 09 would grab the AVCHD directly from the camera. I found a workaround to get the iFrame directly into iMovie, but it entails an extra step.  (the iFrame video showed up in Iphoto 11 along with the stills.  I then moved it from IPhoto to imovie via the desktop.)
    Surely there is a way for iMovie 11 to grab the video directly from the camera, and I am missing it.  I am running Mt. Lion.   Please help.  Thank you.

    I drag the movie from iPhoto to the desktop.  Then, in iMovie, I use the "file" dropdown menu.  From that menu, I select "Import" and then I select "Movie" and then I select the movie that I have just dragged to the desktop.  It would be easier if I could drag the desktop movie directly into my iMovie, but it will not drag.

  • Recording directly into imovie from Camcorder

    Does anyone know if you can record directly into imovie from your camcorder without using the small cassette tapes?

    Without information on the make and model of the camcorder, it's difficult to provide a specific answer.

  • Live capturing directly into timeline for Green Screen

    Basically i am doing a live event where i am using a green screen and people can choose different backgrounds which i will chroma key in but i want to know if it's possible on premier to capture directly into a timeline so i can essential have a chroma keyed output of what it will look like in the program window? I have been able to do this before when using Final Cut but at the moment it looks like I'm going to have to capture it first and then and then just add the clip to the timeline.
    Any advice or help would be great, thank you

    Got this to work! *Here's how:*
    Connect the XHA1 camera to the Macbook Pro via Firewire (Fire 400 out of camera, into Firewire 800 on laptop -- using an adapter since the new Macbooks only have an 800 port).
    Turn on camera and open Final Cut Pro 7.
    *Final Cut Pro settings (under Audio/Video Settings):*
    Sequence Preset - HDV - 1080i60
    Capture Preset: HDV
    Device Control Preset: HDV Firewire
    Click Log & Capture.
    Start recording onto tape in the camera.
    Start Capture Now.
    You're now recording to both tape and the laptop simultaneously. If you stop the camera recording, the laptop will continue to capture without a glitch.
    BUT -- if you start the camera recording again (tape) while you're still capturing to computer, your captured file on the computer will have a glitch.
    So glad this works ...

  • Importing Video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper

    How do I import video into iMovie using Mac the Ripper? I ripped the video content onto my computer but it was not converted into a file that I can import.

    I think it's trend for all users since we can get more funny from digital life. Also it's necessary sometimes for us to save our video or dvd files with other methods, i have no idea but use something like converters.To my experience, mactheripper is not what you want,maybe you can try this dvd ripper for mac.Maybe ripper is illegal, but i just get my oringinal files, and i want to do more with it, that's just it!

  • TS3850 Cannot capture directly into FCX with my Canon HV20

    I am trying to connect my Canon HV20  to capture into Final Cut directly instead of using tape.  It shows up but it doesn't control the camera and doesn't capture.  Any suggestions?

    See if iMovie, will allow you to import, your video footage.
    If not, it might be your firewire cable. They do go bad.
    Also, does your mac allow firewire 400 and or 800?
    Newer ones no longer use firewire, but thunderboldt, which you can get adapert,
    for your firewire cable. You can check out Apples web site for those cables, or electronics
    store, near were you live.
    I have had both firewire 400 & 800 cables go bad on me. I've used the HV30 & HV40.
    I've never had or heard of the fw connector on the camera going bad. If it did, you would have to send it back to Canon for repair.

  • I need to capture directly to a my external hard-drive

    I have tons of material recorded on a MiniDV. It is on standard definition, but I have no space in my hard-drive to capture directly on it.
    Nevertheless, I do have an external hard-drive, and I'd like to capture directly on it. How can I do that?
    I am using Final Cut Pro v.3.0
    I have a MacBookPro
    I am capturing from Camera to Computer through FireWire.
    My external Hard-Drive only works with USB.
    Is there a way to do this?? I'm merely a beginner.

    Hi -
    You need to designate the external drive as your scratch disk -
    FCP3 is several versions ago, and I assume your are on OS 9?
    You need to get to where you control your System Settings, or preferences for FCP.
    There should be a pane that allows you to designate your scratch drive of your choice.
    I've forgotten what it looks like in FCP 3, in newer FCP versions it looks like this:
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/ScratchDiskTab.jpg!
    But as pointed out, you really need to be capturing DV with a Firewire external.

  • Need to import VIDEO_TS into iMovie and I cant do it.

    I have several discs with clips on them that I need to import into iMovie to edit all together, I can not seem to do it. On one disc for example is a Video_ts folder and in the file are .bup .ifo .vob I dont know if these are the clips, if so how do I get iMovie to recongnize them? Please Help!
    j

    This sounds like videos that are actually DVD videos.
    It's possible that they were copied from a DVD onto another disk, but the layout you describe is a DVD format.
    You need a program that can convert these into QuickTime format.
    I have used a program called DVDxDV to convert DVD videos that I made back into QuickTime format.
    This program, will automatically extract the audio and video into clips that are sized and formatted for importing into iMovie.
    iMovie not only has a file size limit, but also time duration (length) that each file must be under.
    So, it needs to be the right file format, right length of time (shorted than 8 minutes), and less than 2 GB in size.
    This program automatically does all that for you. If the video segment is longer than the requirements, then it creates multiple files that you can drag and drop into iMovie.
    It is available in a trial version for you to experiment with.
    Once you find that it does what you want, they offer a variety of packages that you can purchase. I went with the $25 level, and that worked fine for me.

    Hope this helps.

  • How to map the method action return value directly into screen using variables?

    Hi,
    My JDev version is 11.1.1.6.3.
    I have a 'MethodAction' defined in PageDef file, that goes to model layer and return String value. As this needs to be executed during initializing of pageDef, I have also added an 'InvokeAction' for that.
    <executables>
               <invokeAction id="invokeSayHelloId" Refresh="ifNeeded"
                                    Binds="sayHello"/>
               <variableIterator id="variables">
                    <variable Name="Name" Type="java.lang.String"/>
               </variableIterator>
    </executables>
    <bindings>
              <methodAction id="sayHello" InstanceName="HrAMDataControl.dataProvider"
                                     DataControl="HrAMDataControl" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
                                     Action="invokeMethod" MethodName="sayHello"
                                     IsViewObjectMethod="false"
                                     ReturnName="data.HrAMDataControl.methodResults.sayHello_HrAMDataControl_dataProvider_sayHello_result">
                                        <NamedData NDName="pName" NDValue="Michael John" NDType="java.lang.String"/>
             </methodAction>
    </bindings?
    Requirement:
    I want to map the return value of this method action directly into screen by making use of PageDef variables.
    Question:
    I. I need to know how to map this return value direcly as exprssion against PageDef variable.
    2. If Question 1 is achievable, assuming the method action returls List instead of String (I know well it returns 2 items), can I map the 1st Item against Variable 1 and 2nd Item against Variable 2 directly?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Ragu

    Thanks Frank, but If I directly map the MethodAction's result to UI, there are chances where it might get executed whenever I refresh the UIComponent (UIComponent to which the methodAction result is mapped. Isn't so??). Instead, If I invoke the MethodAction using InvokeAction, I can get the control on when it should get invoked (using RefreshCondition). If I assign the variable to UIComponent (Assume I've mapped the method action result to variable using expression), refreshing of UIComponent will not cause any performance issue I feel.
    Correct me If I am wrong.
