Live video feed from camera and other PC

My Mac Pro is being shipped as we speak. I'm new to this, and not up with all the lingo so please bear with me. I'm hoping you all can help me figure out what I'm trying to accomplish:
I currently VJ (Video Jockey) with certain software on a PC and send that video mix out (DVI or VGA) to a Plasma TV. I just bought a Canon A1 camera and a Mac Pro w/FCP studio. How can I mix the live video feed of the Canon with the video feed from PC (preferably in HD)?
I also want to be able to record and edit the footage from the Canon later.
I was told by the guys at the Apple store that I could do this using FCP multicam. Is that true? I read a couple posts on here that say FCP is just editing software and can't do live feed. Then what is the purpose of multicam? Please help. Thanks-

The Apple people probably didn't understand that you wanted a live mix. FCP can't help you there.
MultiCam is an FCP feature "post-switching" multicamera recordings for that live-to-tape look. It is fairly complex, and especially with only two "cameras" you would be muchn better to start off editing them on the timeline.
As for a live switch you need a video switcher. Outside the realm of FCP, but http://bhphoptovideo.com is a great place to do research.
Then if you're really serious you can record both feeds plus optionally the live switched output for further manipulation in FCP or elsewhere.

Is there a way to use Illustrator to draw over a live video feed coming from my microscope?

Hi, we use illustrator to draw (trace) over static images of mite specimens taken under a microscope. Although this works, it would be much better to be able to draw directly from the live video feed coming from my microscope. The specimens are dead, so they are not moving around, however, we need to focus down through the specimen in order to see all details. We normally take montage images, but because the specimens are clear there are many artifacts present and we frequently have to consult the specimen under the microscope to double check things. My students and I have hundreds of drawings to complete and are looking for a way to streamline the process. If we could avoid making montage images and draw direct from the video feed, it would revolutionize the way we approach our research. Is there a way to display the video feed and then overlay Illustrator so that we can directly trace over the image (we use a Wacom tablet, but that shouldn't make a difference) so we can focus at different levels and draw the entire organism?
Thanks for your help
Ashley

Maybe it's possible to have live video in Illustrator, but you would most certainly need to write your own plugin.
So this community would be suitable:

Using FCP for live video feed

Hi,
I'm currently shooting with the new HVX200 Panasonic camera. We're using a small, 7" hand-held HD monitor to use for focus-pulling, but I'd like to be able to use a computer monitor or laptop for a live video feed. (director's monitor)
We've considered using the component-out to go into a Component-VGA adapter for a computer monitor, but I'm wondering if we can do a direct feed using FireWire into FCP or something.
Anyone have any experience doing a computer-monitor setup for use with these kinds of cameras?
Thanks for the help!

Everything Mac OS X (10.4.6)

hey there RI,
if you've tried something similar on your iMac & had no problems it's reasonable to think/believe it will work on your MBP, w/ this caveat: the 400 & 800 ports are actually on the same buss, so the 800 port will handle it's data at the lower(400) rate if there is a device on each port. shouldn't affect any editing w/ the drive once the cam is removed from the MBP. it should the run @ the higher rate.
good luck.

Insert live video feed in Keynote

Hello,
How could I insert a live video feed in a running Keynote presentation ?
Source could be webcam, iPhone video output, etc.
I'd like to keep the background of the Keynote presentation while the live video plays on top.
Thx for your help.
Benoit

Here's how I got it working today (slight modifications to Unami's guide):
1) Install Quartz Composer (it comes with the XCode Developement Utilities on your OSX installation disc)
*2) Download the KinemeCore ( http://kineme.net/files/release/KinemeCore/KinemeCore-0.5.1bInstaller.pkg.zip ) and install.
3) Open Quartz Composer and create a blank composition.
*4) Click on the KinemaCore menu in the top menu (between Window and Help) and select KinemaCore Preferences. Click on the Unsafe Mode tab. For each of the required applications on the left, check "Safe" for Video Input on the right. (I checked Video Input as "Safe" for every application, just in case.)
5) Open the Patch Library, then add a "Video Input" and a "Billboard" patch
( To select another than the default video input device, select the Video Input patch, open the Patch Inspector and change the input device in the Settings tab )
6) Connect the "Image" output of the Video Input Patch to the "Image" input of the "Billboard" Patch (click and drag from the white dot next to "Image")
7) Save this composition and close Quartz Composer
8) Now, open Keynote and drag the .qtz file you just saved into your presentation
For some reason, Keynote will occasionally not allow me to drag/drop the .qtz file into its window. Closing that window and starting a new document fixes this.
Hope that helps.

them and need help.

Hi,
We would need to know how you go the Video from the camera to the DVD disks and in what Format the DVDs were recorded in.
If it made DVDs in the same format as commercial DVD films then the DVD player should open them
Quicktime will recognise many formats but not all .AVI and DIVX in particular.
Add-ons for Quicktime for some formats can be obtained.
Which app were you thinking of Editing in ?

Can iMac receive a live video feed

Is iMac capable of receiving a live video feed? Hoping to use a live HDMI feed from a video switcher, but iMac doesn't have an HDMI "in".
Any ideas?
Thanks, Russ

You'll need one of these devices to input video/HMDI into the Mac.

A simple adapter won't work.

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. I later sync my ipad with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files other than reloading all of them from camera?

What version of iPhoto?
Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear?
A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing. Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

Capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically.

Hello Everyone,
My requirement is to capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically. No manual uploading will take place.
Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to capturing images from camera and uploading to sharepoint library automatically automatically upload images to SharePoint library.
You will save images in your local computer after capturing visitors’ image. You could develop a custom timer job to periodically get pictures from the local folder in your computer. Please refer to this article:
Create and Deploy Custom Timer Job Definition in SharePoint Programatically
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/634208/Create-and-Deploy-Custom-Timer-Job-Definition-in-S
you could upload pictures to your SharePoint from the folder with C# code, please refer to this article:
How to: Upload a File to a SharePoint Site from a Local Folder

we live 235 meters from exchange and have been told 2meg is the most we can have ..hummm..
sorry to the chap that just called us , but i dont believe your words .
the intermittent connection problem seams to have been solved after a long visit from the open reach engineer last Friday . Thank you to that chap ! .
i understand that it can take several days to allow our broadband connection to settle , as stated by the best engineer to date of last friday .
he explained what he had found and corrected the problem wonderfull
when you pay top price for unlimited service you expect to get the service you want , not to be told you will be caped at just over 2meg .
upon checking the approx speed available via the BT line speed checker i think the chap that just told me what we can have needs to check the facts first before calling .
our line can take over 10+ meg as we have had in the past before we had this stability problem now that problem has been solved why do we have to put up with only 2meg ?? .
i bet if we only payed an eigth of our monthly bill you i.e BT would be very quick to approach the matter .
so please someone explain why .
thanks ..
