Looking for a Hi Res solution for viewing images and for capturing video

We are looking to complete some training videos that utilize a microscope, a Sony Firewire camera (1/3-inch Progressive Scan Color CCD 1024x768 Pixel Array). I want to capture the video on a macbook (imovie or FCE) and be able to make some training DVDs.
In addition, I need to purchase a monitor (cinema display??) that would allow people to view the manipulation from the microscope.
Whay type of setup am I looking at ? Will the Apple Cinema display work for this and give a hi res image on it?
I am not familar with the displays or the desired setup (the video out on the macbook be acceptable as the video comes in from the camera or does the camera go directly to the monitor?
ny insight would be appreciative. Thank you

Hi jforsberg,
What we need to know is that microscope have a video out or practically you use the Sony to capture the video thru microscope using custom tripod or camera holder?
If using you Sony is the case, then you can use iMovie for that, and you can view it "live" while you capture (import) it by selecting the input menu to your sony like shown here by EZJIM:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1091996&tstart=25
And you can mirror the screen from macbook to bigger external screen using mini DVI adapter. There are three option mini dvi to vga, mini dvi to dvi, and mini dvi to video, and if you want to use apple cinema display I believe you have to buy the mini dvi to dvi.
And apple said that macbook can drive up to 23" cinema display with 1440 x 900 resolution, but other user on macbook forum reportedly can use with other bigger screen and bigger resolution as well.
Best way is you visit apple store and buy that adapter and have it tested with both 23" and 30" (I believe apple guy won't mind considering you are a potential cinema display buyer).
Good Luck.

  • Looking for easy videos to teach someone OS X

    My uncle just got his first computer and I am looking for something to teach him all about his new Mac. Im thinking something like the video professor you see on tv only for Tiger.
    I have seen the videos on Apples site but they are all for the ilife suite which is nice but I am looking for something with videos on the little things like how to get on the internet, how to write an email, how to move files, etc... The only other site I have found is the Atomic Learning site but there is alot of things there he will never need like automator and voiceover, etc...
    I am also only looking for free videos not paid services or purchases. Thanks all!

    EDIT: This reply should have been to tbharber.
    There are some free video Tiger tutorials.
    Also, Apple has some topics/tutorials on their Mac 101 site and Switch 101 with some QT videos.

  • I cannot get CS6 to recognize my Sony DCR-TRV340 camera for capturing video from that camera.  CS6 c

    I cannot get CS6 to recognize my Sony DCR-TRV340 camera for capturing video from that camera.  The CS6 capture box keeps putting up a message that capture device is off line.  The Sony DCR-TRV340 camera is not listed in the CS6 Device Type  list in the CS6 DV/HDV device control settings box of Sony cameras.  I've downloaded what I think are the correct drivers for the TRV340, and when I plug the camera into the computer, the computer shows it listed in the devices and printers box, but CS6 will not recognize it.  Do I need to install these drivers into a specific folder in the CS6 program?  If so, where do I find these drivers in the windows 7 professional operating system, and into which CS6 file folder would I copy them to?

    Most camera's are not listed in Device controle, set it to Sony and generic. Yours is very old its a Digital 8 camera (I still got a TRV210). Johns second link wont work with your camera.
    You do not need to download drivers nor do you need to install anything. Most likely its the Legacy driver.
    Read though this document.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82848.html
    General rule is connect camera to pc wait until windows reconigzes the camera.
    Fire up Premiere and capture.
    Never connect the camera to pc when the camera is on.

  • Midlet for capturing video

    Hello guys,
    I m developing an midlet which will capture a video clip and store the clip at the server's database. But I m not finding suitable documents for capturing video. How do I
    capture the video clip? There is no such class or method which does so. I m able to capture the image using the following method:
    byte ib[] = videoControl.getSnapshot("encoding=jpeg");
    which returns byte codes of the particular image.
    Is there any such implementation for the video clip?
    Please suggest me the exact steps to do it as I have searched the whole net but couldnt get the idea.
    From,
    Nirav

    IS ANYONE THERE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

  • I'm looking for a video of a good, comprehensive demonstration of what Motion 5 can do.

    All I can find so far are tutorials... any suggestions?

    I don't know of anything like that. What have you not been able to figure out from the Apple web page for Motion?  It looks like you are using Final Cut Pro X, all of the titles, generators, transitions, templates are created in Motion. Companies like Ripple Training and MotionVFX create plug-in tools or templates that are built in Motion, so those are good places to see the capabilites in action.  I know these are brief, but here are some overviews by training companies that discuss what Motion can do:

    http://www.rippletraining.com/categories/apple-pro-apps-tutorials/motion-5-tutor ials/getting-started-in-motion-5.html
    Other than that, maybe you can explain what projects you might want to use Motion for or what capabilites you are looking for?

  • Looking for background videos

    Hello all
    I'm on the hunt for various background videos, I have found IStockPhoto and Getty Images, but I was wondering what other options I may have and, was hoping for a few recommendations, I'm not really looking for anything specific cause it really all depends on what project I'm working on at the time....
    Thanks

    Is joke, yes?
    Anyone know where I can find a red and white swirling, falling into the vortex,
    There are several presets and prebuilts within Motion and LiveType.
    kinda cartoony looking type
    You mean text? Can't imagine text doing what you're describing without many carefully applied filters. Since the text is customized by the user, no.
    background to key?
    You mean key in front of? Or you want to key out the background? Huge difference and we cannot possibly read your mind.

    I have an old PowerPC dual G5 running 10.4.11 and I'm working on some HD projects at the moment, so it certainly can be done on your machine. Upgrading/extending your RAM might be a good idea though; is that possible on your machine?
    If you go HD with the HF-S100, you'll need to be thinking about hard drive space; you'll need a lot of it; it's gonna add up quick. To use content from that camera (which is AVCHD format), you'll be converting it to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) to use in FCE (iMovie will be doing the same thing internally, if you use that), and the file sizes are large. I've got a 12 second clip here on my desktop from an HF100 converted to AIC that's 169MB. So do the math... If you're doing a lot of filming you'll need to have a plan for backing up and archiving...offline storage perhaps.
    But otherwise I think you've got a machine that will be OK, although I wonder if you have enough RAM....

  • Looking for FCE Video Filter - "Old Movie"

    I'm creating a movie where I would like to have the footage look "old"; where the film may be scratched or discolored, maybe even some dropped frames, etc...
    I went through all of the video filters on FCE and didn't see anything that got me this effect. (unless I overlooked something or have to use Sepia + ?)
    Any recommendations on how to accomplish this?
    Thanks for the help!
    Power Mac G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    It is in the QuickTime filters which you access via :-
    File>Export Using QT Conversion>Options>Filter>Special Effects.
    There you will find a number of effects including the old film look, which you can customise with hairs, scratches, dust and film fading.

  • Looking for a video player

    I found one a year or two ago on the internet - it was a Flex video player. Along the progress bar at the bottom, there were little flags, and when the video got to the flagged points, certain things woud happen - text would pop up with additional information and such.  I ~think~ you could also insert your own flagged points as your were watching the video (as in inserting questions at certain points, as we work at a University), but that could be more of something we'd like it to do, rather than what it really did.  I remember the background of the video player was red, but can't recall much more than that.
    I am trying to find this player, or something like it.  We would like something like this - we could start from scratch and do our own, but since we all remember seeing this (it would have been in the last two years), we would rather find who did it and see if we can use it than start over.  I've tried searchnig for it, but just can't seem to find the right terms to use in google to produce what we want.
    If you wrote this, or know the link (stupid us for not book marking it), please respond!!
    Thanks!

  • Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the iPad 4 to a canopus box and use it for capturing video live?, Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the iPad 4 to a canopus box and use it for capturing video live?

    I am the Video Coordinator at Samford University and have found the quality of video capture on the iPad 4 AMAZING, however I need to convert all my files through a canopus in order to Capture and Cut live like I do with a regular video camera. I can get the tripod and mount for the iPad, I was just wondering if anybody knows exactly how/if there is a way to connect to the canopus from an iPad.
    Look forward to hearing what you guys and girls say.

    I'm a bit vague about what it is you wish to accomplish. Are you trying to capture video through an external box? If so, that's not posssible with any of the Canopus boxes I'm familar with. In fact I don't know of any external video capture solution that works with an iPad, though I can't state definitively that none exist.  I really don't think an iPad would be well suited for this even if it's possible. I'd strongly suggest you look into a MacBook Air or one of the current MacBook Pros. Those are far better suited for on-the-fly video capture and editing.
    If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further what it is you wish to accomplish.
    Regards.

  • Suggestions for capturing video from HD source needed

    I'm wanting to capture video from my PS3 (using component or HDMI) and I have no idea what device is good. I'm not looking to spend a large sum of money but it has to be a USB or Firewire external device as I don't have a Mac Pro tower to install PCI cards... yet.
    I was looking at the Hauppauge HD PVR. Noticed it's not compatible with Mac's but saw if I purchase the elgato EyeTV software that it would work. I'm worried about compatibility and skeptical of trusting two products from two companies to work together without issue.
    So I was hoping people on here would have some suggestions.
    Thanks!

    Hope its not too late of a reply but the Hauppauge HD PVR is awesome! (that is, if you don't pick up a defective unit).
    I currently use one myself for capturing xbox 360 gaming clips on my hackintosh and have just figured out what the best settings are for native editing in FCP. You can read my reply in this thread for details:
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=9485446
    I've found 2 apps (one of which is EyeTV 3) that allow you to capture to a Mac via USB2 cable. There's EyeTV 3 and then there's HDPVR Capture which can be found here:
    http://www.steventoth.net/blog/products/hdpvr-capture/
    I used HDPVR Capture first then got my hands on EyeTV 3 and I'll tell ya that EyeTV 3 has better export options. HDVPR-C outputs to M2TS or MP4. MP4 can be problematic when editing in FCP as I found out. But with EyeTV 3 you can export into a 100% native format for Final Cut Pro editing. HDPVR is cool though for a quick app to capture your clips. There's a free trial version that will only capture up to 2min. of footage.
    Btw, if you go with EyeTV 3 make sure you perform a software update after you install it because it doesn't support the Hauppauge HD PVR right off the bat in version 3.0 ..you need version 3.1.1 which you get free when you check for updates.
    hope this helps!

  • What are the settings for capturing video from Canon HV20

    Hi All,
    I want to capture video from Canon HV20 with Premiere Elements 11. What kind of settings should I use to capture the video with full information?
    Here is what I did:
    1) According the manual, I went to Capture settings panel (Edit > Project Settings > Capture) and selected HDV as capture format, because my video is at high definition.
    2) In addition, I checked "Capture to Timeline" and "Split Scenes by cotent".
    Are these settings enough?
    Thanks.

    HV20user
    Sounds reasonable, using Add Media/HDV Camcorder, but....
    Have you reviewed the Adobe write up on Premiere Elements 11 DV and HDV capture firewire into it.
    http://help.adobe.com/fr_FR/premiereelements/using/WS5CDA0F91-60F1-4b79-ABF6-E9E75F498DB2. html#WS2AF26FB5-4C63-4c46-9DB3-7249558F6528
    The mention of Get Media instead of Add Media makes me wonder if the video's instructor was demo'ing from Premiere Elements 10, but...
    Major factors have always included having Premiere Elements project preset set correctly to correspond to your camera settings...For HDV data capture firewire...
    NTSC HDV HDV 1080p30 or PAL HDV HDV 1080p25 depending on if you are targeting a NTSC or PAL area where frame rates are typically a consideration.
    I had not done any DV or HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements. But, Premiere Elements 11's take over of the project preset setting would encourage me to encourage you to verify your project settings before the capture.
    There are probably many more, but the following is online discussion of one Canon HV20 issue
    http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/316970-video-capture-problems-HV20-camcorder-is-control led-but-no-video-capture
    If you experience difficulty with the HDV capture fireware into Premiere Elements 11, you might consider what some others have done in this regard, that is, use HDVSplit for the capture firewire and then import the split (.m2t) clips "Add Media" into Premiere Elements 11 with the appropriate HDV HDV 1080p (1440 x 1080 HD anamorphic 16:9) project preset.
    Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
    Thanks.

  • First Gen MacBook Pro and no firewire 800. Suggestions for capturing video?

    My first gen MacBook Pro only has one Firewire 400 port and nothing else (I got in a argument with a mac store clerk regarding the truth of this statement). My external hard drive has one Firewire 400 port, two Firewire 800 ports, and 1 USB. So far as I know the standard for most video cameras are still Firewire 400, in which case daisy chaining is out of the question (considering I will be using that port to connect to my computer). Any suggestions on how to capture video straight from a deck to my external hard drive?
    Thanks!
    MacBookPro1,1   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I think you can use a FW800/400 adapter and daisy chain your camera to the drive.
