Looking for video thumbnail utility

I'm looking for a utility that can produce thumbnails of
videos that my clients upload. Java or whatever will work on a
Windows server platform. Free, pay, whatever. It has to handle wmv,
mov, mpg, avi, etc., or perhaps there's a few different utilities
that will cover all the various types.

I've been using
ffmpeg and it works great.

Looking for video capture devices

Looking for Video playback app, like a DDR

Hello, I'm looking for a program to cue up and playback quicktime files for live broadcast off of the computers hard drive. Kind of like a DDR but all running on the computer. It needs to have the ability to cue up files based on keystrokes, like 123 enter = playack of 123, and be pretty quick about it.
I found Playbackpro.... at WWW.DTVideolabs.com but I'm looking for some other options.
Thank you.

Unfortuately I cant load the clips into quicktime since it's crashing when I load them..
Just hoping for a light weight app that's sole function is video file inspection

Hi ,
It is not clear what the specifications of your setup are supposed to look like . However could take a look at "
Cisco Virtualization Experience Media Engine" since you plan on having voice and video in a virtualized environment :

Looking for video effects

Hello everyone:
I'm relatively new to Adobe Premiere CS4 (although I have some experience working with digital video). I seemed to have mustered the controls for Premiere itself but what seems to be lacking in my understanding is how to create certain visual effects with it. I'm looking to create a video clip with effects like in this particular video: (Sorry for the link but it's much more easy to show it.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePDR3Pza1_g
What I'm looking for is this:
1. The way they have the Id logo expand, shrink and distort in the very beginning.
2. The "broken TV reception", or "TV-snow" effect. Also the effect how they have the picture twitch at some points.
3. The way they implemented titles in the beginning -- "The Union Aerospace Corporation is the largest ..."
I'm not looking for a free solution in particular, so if someone knows some third-party plug-in, or something I can integrate into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I'm not sure if it's Premiere or After Effects, either. So I apologize if I posted it in a wrong forum.
Thank you in advance.

As for the picture jitter, I'm not sure I saw the appropriate effect for it, but I'll keep looking, maybe I missed something... You said there's an effect for that in AE. I don't really know it that well, so I'm curious, is it possible to take a track from PrPro, send it to AE and then back to PrPro (pretty much like with sound track and Soundbooth)?
Depending on the version of PrPro and whether it's one of the full "suites," you can use Adobe Dynamic Link (DL) to quickly move footage into an AE Comp and back again. Each version of what was once called Production Stuido has improved the function of DL.
Now for the jitter, I seem to recall a plug-in, something like "unsteady cam," or similar. It is just the opposite of "stabilization." Do not recall either the official name, or software company, or even if it was part of an Effects "pack."
Speaking of which, I know it's off topic here, but do you know any idea where can I get some sound effects like in that clip? Maybe even some sound bites/background music/anything.
Not at all OT. Here's a list of SFX and music sites. Some are free, some are for a fee:

http://www.findsounds.com/ISAPI/search.dll
http://www.freesound.org/index.php

http://www.smartsound.com
http://www.ilovewavs.com/Effects/Music/Music.htm
http://www.jamendo.com/en/albums
http://www.5alarmmusic.com/
Also the voices in the beginning sound quite machine-like, is there a software I can use to dictate some text in?
Audition, SoundBooth, and several other audio editing programs have similar Effects, and many more can be added, such as Reverb and Delay. There are also some free VST plug-ins that do a similar distortion. This GOOGLE Search has yielded a bunch of sites for VST's. Some free and some for a fee.
Again, thanks for your input, you can't imagine how much time you've just saved me... As for the video I'm making, it's supposed to be a fun one. When I'm done with it (hopefully in a couple of weeks) I'll post a link here.
No problem. If I can track down that shaky-cam/destabilizer plug-in, I'll post a link to it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Looking for video sharing app to create .mov

Hello,
I hope I am in the right place and apologize if I am not.
I am looking for a foundation to build a video sharing application for Golfswing.com.
We need to allow our visitors to upload video of their swings (these clips are >3 second) in any video format then convert to quicktime for playback.
Why Quicktime you ask? Because Quicktime is the only player that allows frame by frame playback of the golfers swing. Like this,
http://www.golfswing.com/proswings/daly.htm
Any ideas, suggestions, directions, comments, endorsements are greatly appreciated.

Looking for a Mail utility/script to remove older newsletters

I subscribe to several newsletters from various companies (airlines, hotels, etc) and I'm looking for a utility/script that looks at incoming mail and zaps/displays older mailings since the new message supersedes the older ones. For instance, weekly discount offers come in and I want the previous ones from the same company to be automatically deleted. A confirmation window displaying the candidate messages to be deleted would be a nice feature.
Does anybody know of such a utility?
TIA

well, to catch an email you have to add the email address from the sender or distinctive text, so for simplification purposes you may have to create a rule for each newletter, rather than one rule with lots of text in that field. plus if you create one rule for each, then it is easier to troubleshoot if one newsletter does not get deleted in the way you have specified it.
glad i could help

Looking for "video glitch" transition effect

I'm looking for a (cheap?) way to create an effect similar to a tape glitch / cheap switcher where the video image momentarily loses horizontal or vertical sync, you get electronic noise on the screen, then it returns to normal.
Dual G5; FCP 5; DVD Studio Pro 4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) JVC SR-GS30 deck, DVX-100a

Which alters the question to: how to get a monitor to produce this kind of glitch on demand.... <<</div>
Vertical and horizontal hold knobs. This is one reason why it's a good idea to have an old TV set around. If you can find one at a garage sale that uses tubes or ancient transistors, grab it.
Takes some practice. You can record snow or between-the-channels noise ir or actually pipe video into the antenna input from a channel 3/4 modulator out of a VHS or DVD deck. The image can be used to drive displacement maps or used for mattes of other video effects. Funny thing, audiences still expect to see snow on a TV set even though solid state and digital tuners haven't displayed snow for a decade. And TVs haven't done the shrink-and-wink when you turn 'em off since the 60s but it's still a classic way to show a TV set turning off.
btw, I admit my ignorance, what is: CoSA? < </div>
Ah, youngsters.
Company of Science and Art, before it was called version 1.0, before Adobe purchased After Effects. Somewhere there is an online museum of old boxes and dongles for After Effects versions.
Sorry to hijack the thread, Jim, if you need something more specific, let us know.

Looking for Video Cutting Software with iTunes Support

All,
I need to cut / trim a lot of podcasts stored in my iTunes. I am looking for a software without exporting and reimporting the videos after editing. Is there any software which connects directly to my iTunes Lib for editing videos ?

Looking for video effect...

Hi All,
I'm looking for a particular effect. I'm sure it's not available as a plugin.. I may have to look for an independent application, but if you have any ideas:
I'm looking for something which will create a particular image, and on closer inspection, and at closer range, it's composed of many very small images. Ideally, I'd be able to animate it. Any one have any idea how to apporach this?
THANKS

This can be done to a limited extent in most graphics animation applications. Theoretically you could do it in FCE but it would be an enormous amount of work. Basically you do it the way you describe it. Get lots and lots of images of the right shade and tone and stack them in sequences and multiple sequences within them till you make up the image you want.
One significant issue is the limited ability of the DV format to have sufficiently good resolution to be able to make this without turn the scaled images to mush.

Looking for Video Filter

Hi all, I've seen a few videos where they used a filter, kind of a blinking effect. When the blink filter matches the music, it looks pretty cool. Do you know which filter that maybe on FCE? Or is that a add-on? I've tried the blink filter on FCE, but I don't think that's it. Is there a similar effect that's more popular?
Message was edited by: sbcwayout

Here's a great tutorial describing exactly how to use the blink filter to match a musical transition:

Id like to be able to use siri to open the app and it start recording video and audio right away for use as a dash cam.
I know that I can tell siri to start an app, but siri can't control the start and stop of video.

I don't believe it will open a Word document, but Writepad allows for handwritten conversion of notes to text and then to email. Might help you some of the way...

Looking for Video Card

My searching through the forum answers some questions, but still wondering ...
My 450 AGP (Sawtooth) is going to get a new video card, part of an upgrading I've been doing.
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac 128mb? Will this work for my 450? I'm not understanding the 2X, 4X, 8X relevance.
Also, in the name of $$$, I've seen it posted that perhaps I could get a PC version and flash it for Mac. Is this straight away ok?
Thanks for any insights.

Hi-
The biggest limiting factor in upgrading the Sawtooth graphics card is the AGP bus. The Sawtooth has a 2x AGP bus, 32-bit channel operating at 66 MHz doubled to an effective 133 MHz resulting in a maximum data rate of 533 MB/s.
A graphics card must be compatible with this speed to br used in the Sawtooth. Current AGP cards are predominately 4x and/or 8x AGP (266mhz and 533mhz respectively), and don't work at lower bus speeds.
Signaling voltage is another factor, with 2x being 3.3v, 4x being 1.5v and 8x being 0.8v. When modifying a card from PC to work in a Mac, and to make a faster card work at lower AGP speeds, some cards can have pins blanked out (taped) allowing use at the higher voltages.
The reason the 9800 Pro is so often recommended, is that it is one of very few 2x AGP compatible performance cards available. From the world of flashing, the PC version of the 9800 is one of the most easily, and succesfully converted cards. Some of the last modern cards with 3.3 V support were/are the Nvidia GeForce FX series and the ATI Radeon 9500/9700/9800(R350).
The 9800 Pro, Mac version or flashed, will work in your Sawtooth. Either way, the card is plug and play in OS X, and will provide graphics performance far beyond that of other 2x AGP compatible cards.
Often mentioned, is that the 9800 requires a 300w power supply. This may be true from a manufactures "warranty" standpoint, but the card will work fine with the Sawtooth's 237w PSU. Adding a processor upgrade (single) and up to two internal harddrives will also work within the PSU's wattage. The main enemy of all, heat is the biggest concern.
Reducing heat/increasing cooling by using a third party fan is highly recommended. The 9800 is a hot card, and the stock fan is prone to early failure. Adding additional cooling to remove the extra heat produced by the 9800, by using an exausting PCI fan, will also help the PSU provide adequate voltage to the system, by reducing the amount of hot air moving out of the PSU..

Looking for Video Studio Lighting help

I am fairly new to Final Cut and the whole video production thing and I need some direction for purchasing and setting up lighting for studio production. I know this is probably not the place for this discussion but I figure there are several people who would know of a better forum for this discussion and might be willing to pass on some links.
I am doing interview/documentary type work and need to light individual subjects to small groups (5-6 people at a time) in a small studio environment.
Thanks,
-Matt

http://www.3drender.com/light/3point.html
this site loks like a good quick tutorial on lighting. doing multiple subjects is a little harder to set up but similar in concept. You need a main light to light your subject(s) a dimmier light on the other side to remove shadows and then a rear or back light to pull your person from the background and make them pop out abit. Set it up to almost make a halo effect on the crown of their head.
you seem to realise how import lighting is. practice your set ups a few times so you can get your best lighting.
i have done the econo set up and bought 2 cheap painter lights with diff. watt bulbs and one with a dimmer, then i use a small spot light for the back light. Then when i want to have proff. lighting i go to the renatl store and get a 3 point kit
