Is "live video" window possible?

Hello guys,
I need to build pretty easy interactive motion graphic, where I need to display live "webcam window".
It should be a usb webcam connected to same computer where the presentation is running.
I spent two days of searching over the internet, but no luck.
Also, I was thinking about creating graphics with transparent square and leave "webcam window" behind the presentation, which can do the trick, bat as of now I did not find a way to make stage transparent to be able to see applications (or desktop) behind.
Is there some way how to achieve this or should I aim to Flash?
Thank you for your time.

I've done it a couple of times, I use the cxtraVideoCapture xtra from cxtras (http://www.cxtra.net/).
To make the stage transparant, you should use a mask, but with this xtra, you can just implement it in your director movie, so no need to make it more difficult than necessary!

I want to use my macBook Pro 2,2 (mid 2007) to display video being fed from a Canon 5D video out into the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3. Is it possible to input live video from another digital camera into the MacBookPro

I know that the built in iSight camera records video. I want to set up a Canon 5D video camera and feed the Canon's video output into the MacBook Pro so that I can use the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro to adjust the exposure of the Canon 5D. Basically I don't want to buy a vectorscope to have on set to make sure the picture is properly exposed and color balance is correct. (In your response it doesn't have to be the full scenario I've described. If you can just tell me if there's a way to feed live video into the MacBook and display it on the screen and possibly record it, then I'll figure out the rest.)

Dear Ben,
Thanks for your help. Apple and I dealt with this. It was an FCP, NOT Motion problem. As It seems you understand, we simply trashed my FCP prefs. Problem went right away.
Thanks. Do you live near Hammond? Played in a rugby tournment down there once. I was transformed.

Is it possible to stream live video from a camera to an iPad3 via bluetooth or a cable?
I want to use my iPad as a screen for a reversing camera in my van and want to know if this is possible. do i need a bluetooth camera and is there a specific one that will connect to the iPad? Or is there any form of adaptor that I can plug the camera straight into the iPad?
Any ideas?

no
only "live" thing one can do is to airplay mirror the screen of a ios device or a newer mac with mtn lion

Is it possible to send live video from a camera to (2) Apple TV's?

I'd like to use some sort of consumer camera or even an iPhone camera to send live video to 2 different Apple TVs and have that video displayed on 2 different monitors. The intent is 2 different displays w/Apple TVs located in different rooms in the house to network to a single camera. Is this possible?

no
only "live" thing one can do is to airplay mirror the screen of a ios device or a newer mac with mtn lion

Is it possible to stream live video & audio from device cameras & mics to a server?

I would like to know if I can use flash builder to stream live video and audio from Android & IOS device cameras and mics to a media streaming server such as Flash Media Server or Wowza? I know the Android & IOS APIs allow for this but can it be done using Flex/Actionscript? The key here is "live" so you wouldn't want to have to wait for video and audio files to complete on the disk before sending it out. Ideally you would send it out via RTMP or HTTP streaming to stream out but any stream would do since once it gets to the server you can encode it.

Hi
Yes, It's can do but There is a problem on IOS 8 when Switch Camera, Microphone is muted and Sound return when I press home button from my iphone out and press app again for few second
You can use as same as flash desktop video streaming for coding in mobile.
Good luck

Is it possible to record a live video feed online ? PLEASE ... ASAP !!

There is a Live video feed today marking Carroll Shelby's wake. I will be away from computer but would VERY MUCH like to view it at a later time. How can I do this ? I have a MacBook, and a MacMini, both of which are running latest OS.
Thank you !

there are apps out there that can do this... I found this

Is it possible to set up live video webcasting on a Mac?

I work for a church and we'd like to provide a live, video webcast of an upcoming church service for remote viewing by other church members. We currently own a Mac OS X (10.4.10) but we're not sure what other software, hardware, etc. we'd need to purchase.
Although I see that there are many companies to which we could outsource this project, we'd like to try managing this internally.
Is there Apple software available for this sort of thing? I realize we'd have to either purchase or rent a camera, and acquire a computer to use at the site of the recording, but my specific question is: what kind of broadcast software does Apple offer? Additionally, do they offer some sort of "streaming server" software? I've been told I'll need both.

Hi Chancery-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
I'd start here: QuickTime Broadcaster
The price is right and there is a lot of information available.
From a technical standpoint your main considerations will be the size of the data-pipe in and out of the church and the number of simultaneous viewers that you expect. While you may not want to outsource per se, you may find that a colocation facility may have both the convenience and fast enough connection to support several viewers.
You may need someone with a working knowledge of serving stuff to the network if you want this to work. Paying a consultant for a few hours to set this all up is money well spent, especially if you politely observe the process.

Adobe Flash Reversed to Broadcast Live Video without a Webcam

This is all true and is happening now.
I had heard that someone had taken Adobe Flash to new limits, albeit surreptitiously, was able to remotely activate your webcam without indicator lights revealing the clandestine activity. I unashamedly hold an objection to the commercial use of personal and private information to gain revenue via direct marketing or by on selling said information and an even greater objection to government agencies collecting and using personal and private information to build dossiers on the very same citizens that governments are elected to protect and serve for the purpose of political influence, persuasion, terror or torture. The only thing worse than either of these two scenarios is tendered government contracts for the collection of personal and private data or buying directly from a commercial entity that have collected data on individuals.
When I heard that remote activation of a webcam was possible, I took measures to counter this threat by personally managing the Flash settings in the web browser, ensuring the browser settings always matched the Adobe Flash settings for use in Google Chrome, either by selecting "ask before allowing website to access camera" or outright "deny access to camera" and deleting the "exceptions" for that particular website or all sites. To be absolutely certain of my privacy I added the auld low tech safety net which I was certain could not fail, a strip of gaffer or "duck" tape over the lens of the webcam. Occasionally I would also turn the inbuilt mic off for added piece of mind. I thought myself that perhaps I was being a little paranoid until recently when I began to suspect that I was being observed when I would enter a chat room. A look of surprise or a generous smile from the host would greet me upon my arrival, priding myself in the most basic of social etiquettes, good manners, I would always respond with a nod or returning the gesture in kind. However, this is where I became confused because the hosts were always reluctant to confirm this was happening when asked directly, or made an effort not to acknowledge my presence again, which in my eyes, is an admission of guilt.
When I put my laptop to sleep by closing the lid evening last, the unusual and rare combination of hardware and software failure occurred activating the log on screen on the external monitor. Secure in the knowledge that the lid of the laptop was closed, a piece of black gaffer tape adhered to the webcam, I knew I would not get a better opportunity to prove my suspicion that Adobe Flash has been re-coded to not only play live video but to capture and broadcast it as well. I entered the chat room and sure enough an acknowledgement from the host was immediately forthcoming. A moment of divine intervention allowed a conversation to evolve where upon I revealed that my webcam had been disabled and my monitor was acting as the only capture device. Having now confirmed my suspicion that my monitor, not the webcam was broadcasting video, I set about collecting additional evidence and to make the case rock solid, enlisted an independent witness at my end to find on this verdict beyond reasonable doubt.
My unsupported theory is that, if this technology has indeed been developed legitimately, it has been done so for the purpose of Windows 8, because although this computer is running Win7 Pro it originally came with Windows 8 but as I had ordered the computer with Windows 7 Pro, I sent it back to HP and they returned it with Windows 7 installed. I have been informed by my I.T guy that Windows 8 has new hardware configurations that are specifically designed for the Win 8 platform.

Live video feed using Flex/Flash

Hi,
I have a question if someone doesn't mind giving me a "yes"
or "no" answer, please.
My developers have created a program for me that lets me
broadcast my LIVE web cam feed right on my web site in real time so
I can provide customer support and allow me to engage with web site
visitors. We are using Flash, Flex, and Adobe AIR.
The broadcast window size is 320 x 240 pixels. The problem is
the frame rate. I am only able to broadcast between 5 - 9 frames
per second whereas other people have been able to broadcast at
around 14 FPS.
Question: is it possible to use these applications
(Flash/Flex/Adobe AIR) to stream live video at 320 X 240 at frame
rates at least 24 or higher?
Thanks in advance for an answer. I don't expect a solution.
Just a yes or no from some experience(d) developer(s).
All the best.
Rodney

Lucas,
Here's what I do for multi-camera live shoots:
1. Connect all cameras to a switcher/DVE (looped through preview monitors) - I use a Panasonic WJ-MX50 or Sony DFS-300 Since you have five cameras, you'll obviously need a switcher with more inputs, or gang two of the above together. You'll need a switcher capable of the signal output your cameras offer, ie: composite, Y/C, component, triax .. whatever.
2a. Output of switcher goes to DVCam VTR.
2b. Audio is fed through a mixer and output to the VTR.
3. Firewire out from the VTR to the Mac/FCP.
4. In FCP, choose "Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now.
5. Use one of the analog outputs from the VTR to feed the projector(s) and the another analog output to a program monitor for the TD.
I always run safety tapes in each camera while the VTR is recording a switched master tape in case there's a problem with the capture in FCP (it can happen).
I also equip each cam-op with a 8" or 9" monitor, typically using the camera's composite output. And everyone is able to communicate using a Clear-Com system.
In 5 years, doing several shows per year, the capture in FCP has only failed three times and all of those times were when I was using a laptop. Whenever I've used my old G4 tower, capturing to one of the internal drives, its worked flawlessly each time. Fortunately, having a Master DVCam tape saved the day. The camera safety tapes are used just in case of a bad switch by the TD (usually me).

PS I should add that if you're feeding multiple projectors, you'll need a simple DA.

Streaming Live Video to I-Phone

Are there specifications for streaming live video to I-Phones?
I work for a webcasting co. and we would like to offer our webcasts to our clients via their cell phones. I haven't been able to find any documentation relative to live video streaming to an I-Phone.

Hi,
Since the iPhone browser can play MPEG-4 movies, it should be able to play streamed MPEG-4. Flash and Windows Media isn't an option.
Fortunately QuickTime Broadcaster is free, but you'd need a QuickTime Streaming Server to "bounce" the stream off. Setup Broadcaster to do an MPEG-4 video that's within the playable specs (given that it's a live stream, you'd want something as small as possible, so I'm sure the iPhone could handle it). If you're wanting your clients to access the stream over 3G as well as WiFi then you'd need to keep that in mind when determining the video size/bandwidth.

Live video from isight embedded into keynote slide

I have been trying to figure out how to embed live video from my isight camera into keynote. I have tried creating a stream from quicktime broadcaster and import the .sbp file into keynote, but it will not except the stream file. I did not know if there was another way to do it besides the stream or if perhaps I could use another program to help input the video.
My ultimate goal is to be able to present slides and have a live video from my isight during the slideshow on one of the slides. I guess if there is some other way to get both the slideshow presentation and video on the presentation screen without any program headings, in a clean fashion, that would be acceptable too; even if a different program was handling the video and it wasn't technically embedded.

Cool, I can see me using this - need to properly test with http://b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com/CamCamX.html#upgrade
this allows you to choose video sources to play - so i'm betting it will allow video cameras to be used - so it ought to be possible to do live demos/illustrate slides with 3d objects etc ... cool - suspect voice syncing still might be an issue. And KN record doesn't work properly if you have a live movie - it just shows the camera content that's live ... (if you follow me...)
PS Almost forgot - it will do one of the things I was so desperate to achieve: It would allow you to have a window on the screen with a live feed of a signer for those who use BSL and other sign languages - that's really important. And if you needed to you could use two projectors (see other thread on multiple screens) and put the signer on a nicely designed screen all of their own. WOW!!!
