Imovie Recorded with effects....

Ok, so I was tasked with recording 2 90 minute presentations. Simple job, one camera plugged into my laptop with a firewire cable and iMovie set to import. Worked great for the first presentation. File looks good, no problems. A few hours later, same camera same settings and iMovie recorded to the disk the video with effects being added on a rotating basis, pixelated, shaking, sepia ect ect rotating around every 10 minutes or so. I saw it while it was happening but figured it was just doing that to the video I could see and not the files...
As you can guess, it recorded that to the file so when I play it back it plays with the rotating effects. Am I doomed or is there any way to get those off? I really need to salvage the whole presentation....
I assume I'm doomed but thought I'd ask
Robert

It can't possibly be the same settings.
Did you on the second occation start a "Magic Movie" instead of a "New Project".
Did you set the camera to a sort of "Demo" mode?
Did you record to tape at the same time? Is the tape OK?

Why can't I sample or record with effects in real-time?! LE9

Here's the scenerio: I'm recording electric guitar, but I'd like to record in real-time using the effects in Logic Express. I can't hear the effects until after I've recorded the track. Am I missing something totally obvious? I'm using LE9 and a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. Any help?

Yes to both questions.
To hear the fx you have applied to the guitar audio track, you need to monitor the signal *after* the channelstrip. You probably have some configuration which leads to a monitoring of your guitar signal *before* it passes the channelstrip.
Make sure you have set the track to record (red "R") and maybe input monitoring (yellow "I"), and listen to Logic's stereo output. Maybe your Focusrite is set to hardware input monitoring by accident? This would explain a lot.

Importing to iMovie: How do I use an external usb mic when recording with the built-in FaceTime HD Camera?

Hello all
I'm scheduled to work with a friend this week; I'm going to help him make a simple audition DVD. I promised him I had the necessary equipment and such.
I was importing from the webcam using iMovie. If I can't use my external mic to record for the video, there is more involved in the editing process. I was hoping to record the video and audio into one package. I'm using the built-in FaceTime webcam on my macbook pro and a ZoomH1 on usb.
I've tried changing the audio in system preferences: input to H1. This works when recording with audacity or anything else. I even changed the input on FaceTime to H1. There aren't any preferences I can find in iMovie to change the input for importing video directly from the webcam.
How do I change the audio input for direct import on iMovie?
OR
Is there something else I can do to have HD video and HQ audio captured in one video file on my macbook pro?
I suppose I can record the video and audio separately but that is usually much more involved. This is why I got this usb microphone lol.
Thanks in advance,
-Seth

I just found using QuickTime Player to record a movie works great. I can easily change the audio input. iMovie is silly. lol
If I missed anything let me know.
Thanks

Recording with Quicktime and adding effect

Hi all. I am recording Firewire video in Quicktime Player. The audio comes from a seperate source, through the line-in. To synchronize, I need to delay the audio by 600 ms. Does anyone have a method of doing so? I have an AU delay that would work. I just can't figure out how to apply it to the live lin-in.
Thanks very much for any help.
Jeremy

I'll pass on some things I discovered, in case anyone has this question or anyone can add to this.
I succeeded to some degree, by doing this:
1. Installed Soundflower; this creates virtual sound inputs and outputs, so sound can be passed between applications.
2. In GarageBand, I created a real instrument.
3. Set input to Line-in
4. Added the Voxengo Delay AU (http://www.voxengo.com/product/sounddelay) which is free and simple. The Apple AUDelay repeats the sound as well, rather than just delaying it (unless I missed something).
5. Set GarageBand's sound output to Sountflower, and turned monitoring on.
6. In QT player, new movie recording, with audio input set to "Soundflower".
The good news is that I can save the GarageBand document, which can be opened and everything is immediately running. But, it would be nice if there was a way to add an effect to any input directly so that I only have to use one application.
Any suggestions to streamline this? It is for an installation which will be run by students, so the fewer steps needed to set this up the better.

New iMac w iSight won't record with iMovie

I got a new iMac G5 w a built in iSight, but I can't record video with the camera. Every time I try to record with iMovie, it doesn't recognize the built in camera and it always comes up as "no camera attached." How do I record video?

This is the same topic as another thread started today. Quicktime Pro does record from the built-in iSight as does EchoFX's USBVision. Several people have submitted to Apple an iMovieHD feature request to enable direct capture from the built-in iSight. Maybe Apple will offer that in a future iMovie update.

IMovie Saying "Record With Camera" instead of "Import"

Hi all,
For some time now I've been having a problem with iMovie; when I want to import footage it doesn't say "Import", only "Record With Camera".
How can I fix that?
The only way I can get around it is to not have any titles created in iMovie before I import footage. But even if I do it this way, when I import the footage and drag it to the timeline it looks like the framerate is slow.
I have a meeting this week and have to create something ASAP, so it would be very helpful if anyone can give a remedy for this.
Thanks

That's normal until you actually plug in your camera which, if recognised, adds an item to the menu.
Open the Audio MIDI Setup (Utilities folder) and set the default audio output to 44100hZ. Then make sure that the audio output of the camera is set to 16 bits and not 12 bits. Try the camera again.
If no luck try these:

Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Absolutely. Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion). Make sure you check the Self-Contained box. The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added. Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad? I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
Thanks

Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
Apps:
iMovie
CinemaFXV
VideoFix
Cartoonatic
Video illusion
VidEditor
Software:
Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
VideoPad (Again. Few choices)

Audio fade in and out in imovie 11 with a transition not working

When I fade audio out and fade audio in imovie 11 with a transition in between the fade would not work. If I remove the transition they would work. How can I fix this. If i reinstall life 11 would it lose my would or repair the issue.

I am having the same problem. I found a decent workaround:
At the point where you want to fade out, record a voiceover (using a mic) of silence. In other words, cover the microphone and record nothing for a second or two.
Then go into the audio settings for this voiceover and select the "ducking" checkbox, and change the setting so that all other tracks go to 0% sound when the voiceover is playing. The ducking feature has a built-in fader, so this way, when the silent voiceover comes on, it fades out the other track(s)--effectively giving you a fade-out effect on any concurrent track.
Not a perfect solution but can help...good luck!

Recording with guitar to computer through USB X-Fi

I am having a problem trying to record with my guitar through my USB X-Fi 5.. I am using a program called Audacity to capture the recording. I have my guitar hooked up to a Line 6 POD 2.0 effects device that has a left/right output. Then I plugged the /8th male end running from that into the Line-In port on the USB X-Fi 5. and then to my computer via USB. But I cannot hear my guitar when playing and it will not capture the recording. I basically bought the USB X-Fi 5. because when recording with my guitar I thought that my laptops sound card was making the recording of low quality. So I got the USB X-Fi 5. to help that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Message Edited by BulletFMV on 2-06-2008 03:42 PMMessage Edited by BulletFMV on 2-06-2008 03:43 PM

That USB audio interface isn't any better for recording from onboard sound. You should have bought least the Creative E-MU 0202 USB (if you prefer Creative products/USB audio interfaces).
With your current setup, instead of using Audacity, you could try, say, Cockos Reaper + Asio4All driver.

In any case, remember also read the software documentation as well ... all needed information for recording task is normally guided there in user manual(s).

Why would iSight "disconnect" from the computer during iMovie recording?

I was just in the middle of recording a song, got to around 7 minutes when all of a sudden the iMovie recording panel went to blank with a big red sign saying "NO CAMERA CONNECTED". When I went back to the little drop down menu to record and selected "iSight built in" it allowed me to record again.
What could cause this? I am running very low on disk space ATM, somewhere in the region of 200MB left until I transfer all my recordings from today onto my external, could that have something to do with it? Maybe not enough virtual memory space left to run the camera?
Although in fairness I have 2GB of RAM and nothing else is running except one window in Safari (with only text) and a youtube window in Firefox...
Anyone know? And is there any way to prevent this from happening? I assumed since iSight is built in it couldn't "disconnect" from the machine, and in the middle of filming? Seems very odd...

Insufficient disk free space can certainly give trouble:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/HD/en/im37.html
With only 200MB left, you definitely need to free up some space-think 10s of gigabytes free if possible:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1968.html
If you need still more space, some of the ideas from the 10.6 Help version of this file be helpful:

Outer join with effective date in peoplesoft query

Hi,
I'm trying to join two tables using outer join. Both tables are effective dated:
Dept_Tbl: dept_id, status, effdt
Tips_Tbl: dept_id, tips_id, effdt
Not all records in Dept_Tbl are in Tips_Tbl. I need to get all active depts and their most recent tips_id if they have one.
select a.dept_id, b.tips_id
from dept_tbl a, tips_tbl b
where a.status = 'Active'
and a.effdt =
(select max(a_ed.effdt) from dept_tbl a_ed
where a.dept_id = a_ed.dept_id
and a_ed.effdt <= SYSDATE)
and b.dept_id(+) = a.dept_id
and b.effdt =
(select max(b_ed.effdt) from tips_tbl b_ed
where b.dept_id = b_ed.dept_id
and b.tips_id = b_ed.tips_id
and b_ed.effdt <= SYSDATE)
The query only returns records that are in both tables.
Is there a way for outer join to work with effective dates?
Thanks in advance,
Reg

Here is an example of one solution. Note the use of NVL on both sides of the equal sign since both sides could be NULL in the case of the outer join
with dept_tbl as (select 1 dept_id, SYSDATE effdt FROM DUAL),
     tips_tbl as (select 1 dept_id, NULL effdt FROM DUAL)
select a.effdt
from dept_tbl a,
       tips_tbl b
where b.dept_id(+) = a.dept_id
   and NVL(b.effdt, SYSDATE) = NVL((select max(b_ed.effdt)
                                      from tips_tbl b_ed
                                     where b.dept_id = b_ed.dept_id
                                       and b_ed.effdt <= SYSDATE), SYSDATE);

Databse of 1888 Byte Per Record with 259 Fixed Fields Stumped CR?!?

My Database of 15 million records/rows at 1888 Byte Per Record with 259 Fixed Fields STUMPED CR?!
Executive Summary :
I have lots of data. There are 15 million of records in some of my database files. But I need to drill into the data and get counts for each field.
I need to know how many times each data field (row) is populated in a database file. For example, how many of my records have last name? how many have first name? date of birth? etc. I need a simple report made using SAP "Crystal Reports 2011" Workstation type edition that SUMS each data row into a single column output like csv.
My database sizes can range from 1,000 to 18 million records that are in fixed field asci format with 1888 bytes and 256 rows per record! The report needs to SUM each data field or, in the case of a data field with a minimum of twelve tables, SUM each value of a table.
My contracted CR programmer is an expert although she was new to data files this humongous. Can anyone here help us get CR to work on my data? Here was her conclusion, Crystal Reports Fail:
My file is 14.1 gb as well. However, when run through Crystal Reports, it
only returns 2,274,876 records. Therefore, I am going to assume that there
is a Record Limit for Text files of this. I searched through all the
registry settings and there is nothing that appears to be limiting it. I
went online for a while to see if there was any information on it, and just
like when I used to work there, there was nothing concrete. Business Objects
does not physically test this large of data retrieval, therefore they don't
know the exact record limits.
I'm not sure what to suggest, but I don't think Crystal Reports is going to
work for you and I wouldn't have known that from the beginning without
testing your data. I'm 99% sure there is a refund policy on the software, so
you shouldn't have any issues returning it.
Since I only specialize in Crystal Reports, I'm not sure what other software
can handle this amount of data. Possibly Cognos, but you may want to find
out from them or do some research.
If your data were in a database that can run stored procedures (like SQL
Server or Oracle) then you could write SQL to only return the counts. Then
when Crystal connected to the stored procedure, it should work, but I can't
say for sure without testing it. And I don't have SQL Server or Oracle
installed on my machine. I believe MYSQL (the free version) has a limit to
the number of records it can hold and I'm sure 8 million would be over the
limit. Also, I'm not sure if it supports stored procedures. I have used it
once before and found it extremely cumbersome and limited. I think SQL
Server and Oracle are quite pricey, so I don't think that this will even be
an option for you.

Hi Shawn,
I actually contacted the same person you did also. Summer was a Report Designer Resource here and knows her stuff and the Report Designer as much as our Developer who wrote it do.
As I suggested in my first reply is to get all that data into a real database, one that can run Stored Procedures to do all the crunching unfortunately is the only way I can see this ever working.
Windows 7 and 8 CPU's doesn't help, 64 bit may but the problem is CR Designer is a 32 bit application so it can't take advantage of the 64 bit memory addressing space.
What you could so is post your question to the forum:
[Business Decision Making with BI|Marketing Library;
This is a forum for managers or anyone who wants to have a non-technical discussion about making informed decisions with analytics tools. Ask questions and share your experiences on how to effectively utilize data to address real business problems. Experts from inside and outside SAP will be monitoring these conversations and offering their knowledge along with the broader community.
Someone in there may have another SAP product that might be able to load your flat file into a data tool that CR can report off of.
I still think a copy of MS SQL 2008 Express is your best and likely cheapest solution and then you can simply import the data into it which it has an Import Wizard that makes it relatively easy to do... Although you may have to break your file into pieces for it to be able to process also.
You need to be flexible on that data source, I doubt you'll find anything that can report off of that huge of text file.
Good luck
Don

CT differences with Effect to Net income

Hi,
I am running CT for the current month i.e July 2010.
For one of the company code (9019), it was showing two steps under differences as below:
CT differences without having effect on Net income: XXX amount
CT differences with EFFECT on net income 1200 USD
Our group currency is USD
For all the months it will have postings like above, but with effect on NET income will be negligible i.e. always less than 1 USD. so there is no issue.
Now when I look into the balances using total records, the PNL items (All accounts) are equal to Zero in LC.
But In GC is showing the balance which is equal to USD 1200, exactly same amount as "CT differences with EFFECT on net income "
Could someone explain what is CT difference with effect of Net income and why PNL items in GC are not equal to zero.
Thanks in Advance,
Richard.

Hi Dan,
The issue is resolved after following the steps provided by you.
Also i have done one more mistake of assigning account type balance sheet instead of PNL in fs item, so it was mis leading the results.
In fact the issue is because of wrong accont type. But the solution provided by you works 100% but in the next period again i faced the same issue.
After correcting the account type the issue is resolved. Also executed previous month process again for better reporting.
Thanks a lot for your help provided. In the entire project you have helped a lot.
Many thanks for your support.
Regards,
Richard
