Moire tool for video

I just realy like this new tool for removing moire for DSLR video.
Everybody knows there are some severe problems with DSLR material in regard to moire and this tool works perfect on the still frame a took of my video.
It's a shame though that the tool is hidden inside the paintbrush settings because in this way it can's be used in a preset to use on a clip.
Would be realy nice to have it as a seperate tool inside lenscorrection.

After Effects has a clone stamping tool in it. If you've got access to Photoshop CS3 Extended you can import videoand use the exact tool you're referencing.

Database organizational tool for videos and slideshows and movies? (mac)

hi all,
i am a mac user who recently purchase Creative Suites and i am on a long march organizing my files into databases now that the office is set up and i am on Mac. i have one major remaining difficulty i am really hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
i am trying to see if there is software or a database that would let me organize my videos/slideshows/movies etcetera.
since i have ported to mac from PC i am seeing the following file types in my "video + slideshow" folder: wmv, pdf, 3gp, avi. mov, mp4 and m4v - which is where i have temporarily gathered up all this information. my recollection is that these were either downloaded from the internet, created on some PC software or created using Keynote, Aperture or iPhoto. i am currently using Aperture to store my images.
i am also going to post on the mac forum but if there is an adobe product that does this exceptionally well i would be happy to buy it.
THANKS in advance for any help or advice on this.

hi curt,
thanks. apologies in advance for the long post and slightly off-topic explanation. i am trying to organize things a little better and right now i have way too much data and not enough help organizing it. basically i am trying to move to a database management workflow because there is too much to remember in terms of where my data is. also - it is not LINKED together very well and the workflow to produce the final product is a little disjointed. basically i don't mind using Spotlight to search for files to get it all organized but once i find all my data i would like to get it linked up in a way that is better than dropping it in folders.
can i please ask you how you /use/ bridge then? i mean, right now i am /exporting/ files from my IMAGE database and putting these into folders and then getting these files into the Photoshop (editing), Illustrator (raster work) and InDesign (formatting and linking) workflow. so now i have bulk files that were used to create InDesign posters (for instance). but this means that there is no organizational feedback to my IMAGE DATABASE in Aperture. i simply store the files in there and then i /export/ them to folders. the folders have organized images for each project and they have all the data associated with the project but this does not translate back to my image database unless i were to then go ahead and IMPORT the exported images from these folders and create a /new/ Project for these images which were used in this particular project.
do you know what i mean? i mean i have a database that organizes my images but then i use them external to this database and i am not going to /manually/ go through the database and TAG the images so i know they were used in so and so project. conversely - it seems like it is asking a lot of me to TAG the images before they go out of the database since i am /working/ and to keep track of all the data i am exporting to the desktop on the chance that i may use it - by TAGGING it for the project so that i can tell what was used in this project by looking in the database - just seems unworkable.
i mean, i have thousands and thousands and thousands of images and i have hundreds of projects and i am trying to figure out if there is a slightly better way to keep all this linked together in some way. right now my IMAGE DATABASE is basically divorced from my PROJECT FOLDERS.
i know that sounds off-topic but this also applies to my videos and slideshows and presentations. right now i have IMAGES organized in Aperture and i use these in a slightly more organized way because i am (now) preparing slideshows in Aperture so i have to organize the images in Aperture. but if i create a KEYNOTE presentation i am /exporting/ the images to the desktop, possibly re-arranging them, storing them in a folder and then creating a KEYNOTE presentation.
all of this seems very hinky and there is also the added problem that i have duplicated my images in many cases with some stored in Aperture and some stored on the desktop when i need them for a project.
i was hoping there was some pro that could tell me - "well, what i do is that i store the files in Lightroom, bridge them lets me see them when in am in Photoshop or AI or InDesign, then i OPEN the file from within Photoshop, edit it and Lightroom SAVES THE EDITED FILE and then i go into InDesign and bridge lets me see the files in Lightroom and i LINK THE EDITED FILE to my InDesgin poster and Lightroom automatically stored all the images for this poster in a dedicated folder for this project.
you know what i mean? i mean, if there was some linked aspect to bridge-LR-AI-PS and InDesign that let me avoid all this exporting from Aperture i would be really happy. then if i could store the resulting ID file or Presentation or Video or whatever with some kind of LINK to the original data this would be a huge improvement over here.
THANKS

[Request] Avisynth 3 - powerful frameserver for video

Hi
This app is still in development (CVS) but it would be nice to start testing under arch (if it is possible). Avisynth's killer feature is the amount and quality of free plugins/filters. Versions 2.x are windows only. New Version 3 is both Win/Linux. Anyone interested in creating a package?
http://www.avisynth.org/AviSynth30
"AviSynth is a powerful tool for video post-production. It provides almost unlimited ways of editing and processing videos. AviSynth works as a frameserver, providing instant editing without the need for temporary files.
AviSynth itself does not provide a graphical user interface (GUI) but instead relies on a script system that allows advanced non-linear editing. While this may at first seem tedious and unintuitive, it is remarkably powerful and is a very good way to manage projects in a precise, consistent, and reproducible manner. Because text-based scripts are human readable, projects are inherently self-documenting. The scripting language is simple yet powerful, and complex filters can be created from basic operations to develop a sophisticated palette of useful and unique effects. "

Thanks

I don't know, I might be cinical, but the documentation page states that:
Avisynth is on development stage. There is no documentation yet on how programming a plugin, on how writing a script. In fact, Avisynth 3.0 is not doing much right now.
And on another page it says it's not backwards compatible...
So I'm not sure if it's worth the effort at the moment.

CONVERTERS FOR VIDEO SOUND

Thanks for your help on the other topic. Im trying to get the sound working for my music videos on a 30 G ipod. Videora iPod Converter was recomended for Windows, does anyone know where i can find this converter download or any other converter that might work better than this one. and is it easy to use, and how would the process work, would it automatically change the setting for my videos on the ipod once the setup for the converter is complete? i know i'd probably have to run the video through it. thanks again.

Could the more experienced users (and especially
those who've been using Logic in conjunction with pro
video) give me some insights in the pro's and con's
of Logic as sound designer and mixing tool for video.
Hi Tom,
I primarily do audio post and sound design for video now. As far as Logic as an audio companion to Final Cut Pro is concerned, the workflow is very smooth in this regard. I still use Protools for some things though. Typically, I'll finish up my video edits and rough audio edits in FCP, then export my sequence as XML. I'll burn a QT movie (vid only) too.
In Logic, import the XML and name the tracks. I usually blow away all the keyframing I've done in FCP and start from scratch. Open the movie file and your in business. XML import is great as it references all of your original capture files. So, if you need to stretch a region you can. You're not stuck with what you cut up in FCP. Mix, render your stems to AIF and bring them back into FCP. Done.
Now, as far as Logic as a sound design tool, it's usefulness is limited to sound design for musical instrumentation. So, if I'm providing music, I'll design my own instrument sounds. Logic does some of this well but I still rely much on my Kurzweil. As far as actual sound design, Logic is very limited. However. . . I will use Logic to trigger Kyma events or sequences via MIDI and also control specific sound design parameters in Kyma, much as you would control an external synth. So Logics usefulness extends to providing a master sequencer function for external sound design equipment.
Hope this helps!

Best tools for small videos?

The local village library wants to produce some original
video content for kids. We'll be using
our
GE camera to shoot footage (as if the viewer were a child in a
group) and posting episodes of between 15 & 30 minutes.
We have CS3 installed, but I'm a video novice. I will want to
do some simple editing (opening & closing titles, maybe inserts
of illustrations from books being read). Does it make sense to do
it in Flash and export a FLV? Is there another free or cheap
software or extension I should be using?
Any advice is helpful.

You will need some video editing software, because you can't
edit video in Flash. If you are on a mac, you could use IMovie, but
I would suggest getting Adobe Premier. It's not cheap, but it gives
you a lot of tools for editing. I would used Flash and flvs to play
the movies on the site.

Adobe AIR for Video Wall project - the right tool?

I need to decide whether Adobe AIR is the right tool for a Video Wall project. The Video wall would be one of only 4 installations.
It would need good offline capability.
The application would play back both canned video as well as twitter feeds.
The other option is to go all HTML with perhaps the Canvas element to display video, graphics.
I'm biased towards using Flash, AIR but am open to new ideas.
What are the pros, cons of each approach?

Pros of the Adobe route would be a little more control and reliability. You can easily go fullscreen, preload other videos easily in the background and display them on the hardware GPU decoded StageVideo (with the right video card, almost all of them at this point). Twitter feed loading would have some robust error handling to assure it goes smoothly but if you need offline capability you'll need some canned material for the feeds in that situation.
HTML can go fullscreen but the caveat would be drawing your twitter feed over the video at that point. Because it's fullscreen I don't believe you can have your text over it from a <video> element but you'd need to use <canvas>'s fullscreen and actually mux the text into the video.
The long haul of Adobe's roadmap clearly states video and games are the future of FP and AIR. I've done tons of kiosks in Flash and AIR, many of which just act as a video wall, attracting people to very large screens. I've had nothing but success doing this. I'd only even approach HTML5 if you have some reason to desire to put this on the web, and even then, Flash is still fine in that situation too.

Good site for Video Editing tools (open source)

I'm a recent convert to Mac, and I'm having a hard time finding comparable tools to what is available via open source on the Windows side. Specifially in the H.264 arena. There are a multitude of open source encoding tools for Windows. I'm sure there have to be some for Mac. Are there any good sites that list these? I'm tried versiontracker and The Mac Orchard, but I'm hoping for something more specific like VideoHelp.com
Any suggestions? I'm looking for encoding software that can do inverse telecine, import DivX/Xvid/DV, Trim video (to remove letterboxing), and encode to H.264.
Thanks!

Best video capture tool for Panasonic AG-DVX100A

I'm trying to decide on the best video capture/ media converter tool for my Panasonic AG-DVX100A. The choice is between the Grass Valley ADVC 110 Media Converter and the BlackMagic Design Video Device for Mac OS10. Has anyone used either/both of these. What advantages do each have over the other? Thanks for your time and advice.

Hi -
The Grass Valley ADVC 110 Media Converter requirers firewire.
I have and use the Blackmagic Video recorder which is USB based -
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/558914-REG/BlackmagicDesign_VIDREC_Video_Recorder_USBCapture.html
BUT it converts the video to H.264 format which is a very difficult format to edit in. It is primarily designed to allow you to load video on to your computer for viewing, posting to you tube, or other very simple uses.
If you intend to edit these files with iMovie, you might be able to get away with it (although importing the files will be slow), if you plan to edit with Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro you will need to convert them to an editable format.
You might look at taking your camera somewhere to a facility that can properly capture the DV material on your Mini-DV tapes and put them on an external hard disk for you.
Then you could plug in that disk on your computer and obtain access to the files that way.
Hope this helps.

Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???

Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???
ok, Got this Camera, like it, except for a few confusing issues. I was told, in order to playback HD video onto my HDTV Samsung, with an HDMI4 on the left side of the TV, all I needed was a HDMI to HDMI cable.
(#1) Shut off both TV and camera, plug the cable into this HDMI plugin, turn on the TV and Camera power supply, and it should recognize, then start paying.
Well, I did it both ways, (#1) shut off,then turn on, and (#2) I just inserted the camera's HDMI to the HDMI4 while both were on, and tried opening up the Samsung's' Tools >Inputs, etc, and still nothing!
Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
The second issue i'm having , is how to shut off the slow motion playback, when viewing the videos, which were not recorded in slow--mo, and it's frustrating trying to playback in normal speed, but instead it plays in slow-mo.
I'm not quite sure I'm recording in full HD...The payback is only 60i

Thanks grazie!
Well, i accomplished most of that and at least got the video on the display (Samsung Anynet HDMI3) But no sound!
I was also able to control the SX50 TV Display with my samsung remote, kool.
As far as the playbgack volume, I checked the camera, I did notice the OPERATIONAL SOUND was off, but when I played back the video on the camera itself, i did have volume.
On that subject of Slow motion videos, if i'm watching each video, then see one playing back in slow-motion, does that mean i actually filmed it in slow motion, without knowing? ( i can send it through Pinnacle Studio 15HD and speed it back up, but theres no background volume anyway) if i did unknowingly videotaped in slow motion, i bettter be more observant in the future.
I'm going to increase that ''Operational sound'' on the tools / Camera and try to playback to see if I have any sound.
I have a Yamaha 7.1 reciever, and TV, BD player,Time-Warner cable all is connected to this receiver....I was pushing all buttons for inputs to see which one would work for sound with video, but could not find any. Thanks, or grazie grazie!

Mac mini for video / music production

hello!
i'm really into music and video, i currently do all my video work in premiere pro on the pc, and music is done in a combination of packages like reason, soundforge, etc.
i'm really tempted by the offer of a mac mini for a few hundred pounds complete with garageband, imovie, etc. plus i can always get final cut on there too.
I am serious about what i do and would want high quality results. what i'm asking is basically, consdiering the specs of the mac mini, (i'd have to go for the top of the range to get the dvd writer) will it be capable of performing well with video work and more importantly, will garageband let me do professional sounding sequencing and mixing?
or am i kidding myself that the mini is capable? because if the option is buying a G5, i'll use the cash to upgrade my windows pc instead. it's all about tools for the job for me, i've got no brand loyalty.
thanks for any advice / opinions!!
-the swan

There's no doubt that the mini CAN do what you want - it outperforms many Mac systems that have been sucessfully doing pro-level video and audio work for years. On the video side the system is very capable, and whether in iMovie or Final Cut, professional results are achievable. Indeed, being digital, there's no practical way to tell from the rsult whether it came off a mini or an old G3 iMac or a brand new G5 tower. The mini's only drawback is that rendering takes time. Less time than older systems, and more time than a G5 would. Some rendering (such as transitions or effects in iMovie) run in the background and don't prevent continuing work.
On the audio side, I'll leave that to people who have a better knowledge of the application than I do as a rather 8th-rate amateur!
As for the model you should buy, I would suggest NOT the $699 version with superdrive. I'd suggest you buy the $599 model, replace the 512Mb RAM with a 1Gb stick, and add an external burner. That way you would be getting enough memory to give the mini a solid performance in video work, and giving yourself the choice of DVD burner which not only would include possible dual layer devices (the superdrive is single) but also better burn speeds.

During a demo today could not use Messages for video chat or screen share - what dumb thing was I doing wrong?

I was giving a demo / class today for some people in a volunteer group I work for. They all got new MacBook Airs or MacBook Pros, and I got a MacBook Pro because I am going to be going into explain how to use them.
Most everythng went well, but one really cool thing I do all the time from home on my iMac I couldn't get to work. That part of the lesson was a disaster, though fortunately everything else went well.
I'd like to figure out what dumb thing I was doing wrong so I can show them next week.
I know we have to sign in with AOL accounts for screen sharing to work in Messages. So first I had everybody sign up for a free AOL account. That went fine.
Then we all logged in using our accounts. That went fine for everybody except one person. We could all see each other online, with little video cameras next to our names in the Buddy List. One person never showed up anywhere for some reason.
But we could not do either video chats or successfully request to share other peoples' screens, which I do all the time at home to help other people with their Macs.
One person could not even see any requests from me pop up. One person could see my requests come in and accepted them, but nothing happened after that.
Ordinary message chats were working ok.
Things I already thought of:
1. Perhaps the wi-fi in the bulding was blocking some ports? Just in case, I turned on mobile hotspot (tethering) on my iPhone 5 and had everybody connect to my network. But the results were the same, so it wasn't that.
2. I wasn't sure it mattered, but in Settings > Sharing I made sure that everbody had screen sharing turned on. And just in case, even though I don't have this set from home, I further made sure everybody had "anyone may request to control the screen" checked.
While I could do local network sharing of screens (via the Devices list in the Finder side panel), I couldn't for the life of me get it to work with Messages. But I've been doing this for years from home to help my sister and other people across town with their Mac by doing screen sharing this way and taking over their screen.
It must be something dumb I'm overlooking. Anybody know what it is?
Thanks,
Doug

Problem solved, finally, by AppleCare support!
I gave up trying to reach the "English support line" guy located in Manila and decided to insist on plain old Japanese support here in Tokyo and explained the problem from scratch.
First we tried all the usual suspects, but nothing we did could get it to work. Then we did an ARA (Apple Remote Access) support session. This was the first time I ever did this. Quite cool, and very useful.
At first we still could not figure out what was wrong, but finally isolated the problem to the way my AOL account name was entered.
When I added the AOL account to my Messages app, all I did was enter my username part. I didn't add the @aol.com part, because I never did that on my iMac. However, Messages kept on automatically adding "@aol.com" to the end of the AIM account name.
The Apple tech person got me to try once again to get rid of the @aol.com part of the account name. We:
1. Disabled the account.
2. Manually deleted the @aol.com, leaving just my AIM name.
3. Restarted my MacBook Pro (very quick, by the way, and also immediately brought back his ARA session).
This time the @aol.com part remained gone, and I was able to test connecting to my iMac, which has a different AIM account set. It worked!
I was able to do screen sharing via Messages! And also do video chat via Messages. Yay!
So much thanks to Watabe-san at Apple support. The people I am teaching will be happy to see this working on Sunday, because it really is a very useful tool for assisting people remotely.

For video editing, is the new 13" MBP enough? Or should I go for 15"?

For video editing, I will be using both Final Cut Pro 7, and Adobe CS5.
Is the new 13" Macbook Pro enough? I'm asking both for the lower-end and higher-end 13". Or should I just go with the 15"?
I'm just seeking for opinions from more experienced mac users, since this is my first transfer from Windows to Mac. Also, I'm taking into consideration in the price difference among these different models.
Thank you very much

It will render much faster on the new quad cores then any other MBP ever made. This new release is really a pretty major deal in the laptop world to my thinking. If I didn't just get a new iMac, I would be probably getting one. I don't do a lot of video and I use FCE not Pro so my need isn't as great, but I do a lot of photography and with several things open at once so the power matched with sufficient ram is pretty amazing. But is it absolutely a must? I had a friend who just until this year was a film music editor and he was using Pro Tools on a G4 Power Book though he had to start working around the machine limitations at the end of the day, but it is possible. Still for the money, the new machines are a great deal at pretty much the same price as what they are replacing. I know I'm advocating here, but I'm just a user not and employee:)

Best conversion method for video so that it is viewable on my ATV and Touch

I have a bunch of home videos, podcasts, and movies that I would like to put in a format so they play well on my ATV and iPod Touch. The home videos were created in iMovie and shared to my iPod (using the link in iMovie). All play on my ATV, only some play on my ipod touch. Basically I want to convert or create all my video once and have it play on both devices. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd agree too, and indeed where I want video for my iphone I export it as a separate movie. However the OP has specifically stated the goal of having one movie to do all jobs.
In this case exports have to be targeted for the ipod/iphone and not the tv. How this is achieved depends on the video that is being converted. For the types of video mentioned by the OP, handbrake is not the answer.
Where possible avoid doubling up on processing, so from imovie export for the ipod/iphone (this varies depending on which imovie you use. For videos that aren't in imovie, the 'create ipod or iphone version' option from the advanced menu in itunes will do the job in most cases. Other tools you might use are Quicktime or even mpegstreamclip if your source video is either mpeg1 or mpeg2.
