Multi camera streaming capabilities of OS X Server

We've four analogue cameras that presently feed into an ACTi server box and stream over the internal network at 25f/s in full screen PAL. This is an mpeg 4 stream that shows up in QT on the Intel Mini running XP but we are unable to get any of our OS X Macs to see and the support from ACTi has not been helpful.
So would OS X Server be able to handle this job?
I look forward to your thoughts..

Verifying Multi-Bitrate Streaming

I finally got our FMS 4.5 server up and running and streaming multi-bitrate. The only problem is I can't seem to verify what stream I'm viewing and I also believe the player is not switching among the various bitrates. Internally testing among the LAN I'm not viewing the highest quality when I should be, the image appears to be the medium quality stream. When I test the highest quality stream as a single bitrate stream it's very clear and crisp, but not when I use the multi-bitrate stream.
I'm using the StrobeMediaPlayback.swf that came with the server install located here c:\program files\adobe\flash media server 4.5\webroot\swfs\StrobeMediaPlayback.swf When I right click on the player I am giving an option to select Low, Med, High but it does not work. Selecting low does not degrade the video and selecting high does not improve the video. I'm not sure if those options were intended for selecting the various bitrate but it's not working. I'm not sure if the issue is with the server or the player. I'm inexperienced with developing a player and unable to create one that offers a button to switch between auto or manually selecting a specific bitrate.
Can anyone assist with verifying why my multi-bitrate streaming is not switching and perhaps know of a prebuilt player that can offer manual selection of a specific bitrate and toggle between auto and manual mode.

Hi,
I'm sorry but that control is not to switch between MBR streams. If you notice it'll give you the same options for a single stream as well. The stream that the client requests for depends upon the bandwith that is currently available. For HTTP streaming to check which stream is being requested, you can check the Apache logs here : <root_install>/Apache2.2/logs/access_log.
For manual switch you can use http://osmf.org/dev/2.0gm/debug.html?src=<your-url-here> player. If you're trying a HTTP stream, you may be missing the crossdomain.xml file under <root_install>/webroot, because of which you may be getting the error. Can you try placing a crossdomain.xml and trying? If you still see the error can check the error logs here : <root_install>/Apache2.2/logs/access_log and let me know what it says?
Thanks,

While multi-camera monitor is open video output looks strobed

While the multi-camera monitor is opne the video output to my DV deck looks strobed and soft. Any ideas? I have CS 6 with a Sony DV deck on a MacPro 5,1. When I close the multicamera monitor the video on the output monitor becomes sharp again. This is simply unnacceptable as I need to see the video in full rez while playing back.

The multicamera monitor has always had an "adaptive resolution" when it comes to playback, meaning the resolution would degrade if it needed to (based on your system's capabilities) in order to keep up real time playback, which is more critical for multicam editing than full res playback.

Multi camera project, Online/Offline. Major issues reconnect/re-digitize

Ok gang I got brain bender.
3 camera show, Multi camera project shot Digi-beta. Brought the tapes (3@90min) in low res (dv50) and now I need up-res the files or as apple would call it “online/offline”
According to the book this can be done a few diffrent ways. I have explored these ways and I’m failing...very very badly.
Attempt #1.
- took time line into media manager made the sequence “offline” save the project to new folder in drive with new settings (10-bit). All looks good till you try to recapture at 10-bit. Clip names get changes and numerical extensions apple put on during “make new clip” don’t match. In short I have a show that wont go. FCP wants to digitize everything
Attempt #2
- took time line into media manager made the sequence “offline” Selected the clips batches of clips and then re-digitaized. Again clips don’t match and FCP wants to digitize everything.
This is where I need your help. What can I do to make this process work? Below are my next moves...but before I spend another 18 hours in a bay I want to make sure I get some other input.
Option 1)
Encode all the tapes in 10-bit, Try to reconnect. I would like to stay away from this because the space needed for 10-bit is out of this world and I do have other projects. Again I’m looking for that secret 1,2,3 to making clips only re-digitizing.
Option 2)
try some other method I haven't tried yet. ( this is the one I’m hoping for)
Thanks for your time an I hope it hear from you ASAP as I’m dying over here. Multi-clip with online/offline it’s exactly in the index in the FCP user guide. If any one has some posting or web pages I could book make for future that would be a big help.
Thank you all for your time in advance

I must playback in Premiere the 4 video streams in real time
Good luck with that. Many folks have trouble with even one stream.
edit those offline low res copies to get my edit decision list
I'm not sure offline editing with AVCHD will be possible because of the folder structure. You may not be able to 'replace' the lower res copies with AVCHD.
My output format is Flash F4V 640x360 px square pixels for Internet playback.
Oh, man. Shooting HD of any flavor is just overkill that adds unnecessary work to the process. Have your client shoot in DV.

Multi-camera AVCHD editing workflow in Premiere CS4

I have a client project that has me wondering what workflow to use and I someone on this forum probably has the expertise to know the right solution. My requirements...
1. Client is recording a scene using 4 cameras at once, like a live TV show is shot, all AVCHD footage, 1920x1080px 17mbs, square pixels.
2. I must playback in Premiere the 4 video streams in real time and choose one camera to output, like a director would switch a live TV show. So, all 4 streams are playing in Premiere's multiple-camera editing windows. Each show I'm editing is about 1 hour long. The advantage of multi-camera editing of course is I can play all 4 cameras at once and live switch between them in Premiere to arrive at a 1 hour show in 1 hour of editing time.
3. Until I can upgrade my hardware that can possibly handle 4 streams of AVCHD, I'm stuck needing a workflow to convert the original AVCHD to some lowres format, edit those offline low res copies to get my edit decision list, and then reconnect the online HDV AVCHD clips to export through Media Encoder for a final production. My output format is Flash F4V 640x360 px square pixels for Internet playback.
4. Hardware: I'm running Windows 7 RC using CS4 Premiere 4.1, 4gb RAM, 2.4ghz dual-core processor with 64mb Intel turbo boost on a notebook PC. I do have 4 hard drives to hold each camera's footage on its own drive, and a fifth drive to ouput the edited version to, in addition to a drive to hold my OS and Premiere. The external drives are connected via eSATA to the notebook.
Question 1: what do you suggest as the lowres format I should convert my AVCHD footage to for multi-camera playback/editing in Premiere?
Question 2: do you think it's even possible to buy a desktop PC that can handle playback of 4 multicam AVCHD native format files in Premiere in real time? I'm concerned this may be too much for even the most powerful systems, and I would need to resort to editing lowres footage even with the most powerful desktop. As you know, decompressing one or two AVCHD streams is taxing to a PC so 4 at once is a challenge.
Question 3: an alternative workflow would be to feed live video out of the HDMI connectors on the cameras into four HDMI capture cards (Intensity Blackmagic) and capture uncompressed HDV bypassing AVCHD compression altogether, but the disk space required would be substantial. Does this make sense? I've even considered feeding those 4 HDMI feeds into a video switcher between the cameras and PCs but the cheapest solution I can find that can provide genlock (frame sync) between the 4 cameras for clean glitch-free switching is quite expensive, thousands of dollars invested.

I must playback in Premiere the 4 video streams in real time
Good luck with that. Many folks have trouble with even one stream.

I'm not sure offline editing with AVCHD will be possible because of the folder structure. You may not be able to 'replace' the lower res copies with AVCHD.

Oh, man. Shooting HD of any flavor is just overkill that adds unnecessary work to the process. Have your client shoot in DV.

Multi-cam project crashing in FCP

Hi,
I'm cutting a multi-cam project and the system I'm cutting on keeps crashing - and it appears to be crashing just after the auto save.
The project is a five camera shoot, all on XDCam EX3 35mbs 1080 / 25p (ingested into FCP, native clips are then combined into a multiclip & put into an HD Pro Res timeline - the Apple Pre-set: Apple ProRes 422(HQ) 1920x1080 50i version).
The system I'm working on is an 8 Core (2x2.8ghz quad core intel) with 16gb RAMM, OSX 10.5.8 (this isn't my own system)
The actual FCP project is still pretty small (currently only 24mb), although this will be increasing (I'm cutting 10x1 hour shows).
The system appears to hang up just after doing an autosave (I say this because the time stamps on the most recent autosave are usually within a minute or two of the crash). I get the spinning ball of death, and then the system crashes (although not always, it tends to crash about 40% of the time when the spinning ball of death appears).
I'm running the system fairly minimally: I've reduced the number of audio tracks playing in real time to 2, and the audio playback quality to Low (it's stand up comedy). I am running with the waveform showing on one audio track (I've crushed the other tracks so it's not showing - although I don't know if this means the audio waveform isn't being calculated for those tracks). I've only got one track of audio actually playing.
I've reduced the playback quality & frame rate to dynamic, but I am running 5 streams of EX3 35mbs vision through the multicam playback window, in a pro res sequence (1920x180).
I've already deleted the FCP preferences & zapped the P-RAMM a couple of times.
Any ideas on how I can reduce the crashes?
Thanks!

Thanks Shane & Tony,
I'll try that, fortunately we've only shot & ingested the first few shows, so we can still fit the transcoding process into our workflow. (I had heard this suggested prior to starting the edit, but wanted to avoid it if possible because of the extra work involved).
BTW, my method for transcoding the media to Pro Res for the two sequences that I've already edited, would be to identify the transcoded EX3 QT files that have been ingested (at desktop level), take these QT files into compressor, apply & run the standard apple Pro Res template, and then re-link the clips in FCP to the new transcoded media files (which would have identical names, but be the transcoded Pro Res Version). Then re-link the sequence.
Obviously, for the shows that I haven't cut yet, I'd just ingest, & then transcode the media, & re-import the transcoded Pro Res media ready for editing.
Do you have a better way of transcoding the EX3 files to re-link to the edited sequence?
Thanks!
Andrew

I'm editing multi cam with 4 cameras and my program keeps freezing up.

I think that the only way to stop this from happening is to increase my RAM but I wanted to find out, what is the recommended solution? I'm using Premier Pro CC 2015. on Windows 8.1.

First, that video controller seems to be a board-mounted one ... not "bad" as far as those go, but without it's own supporting cast so to speak. It doesn't seem to have any v-RAM, I'm assuming just uses the RAM of the computer itself. And at 8Gb, that's ... very minimal for the CPU. It's got more guts to the video capability than my laptop does, but not enough to really carry the video weight.
Second, with only your system drive and one USB3.0 external, your drive capabilities are very low. If that external has a faster-than-normal cache-read/write performance, and the only thing on it was your footage (media), at least the media could get read into the process decently though with multi-cam sequences that's a harder workload than single-clip work. With that setup, however you've got your various parts of the process laid out, you simply don't have the capability to pass data back and forth at playback speeds. Not even close.
Even a second internal SSD that you could put project files, cache, database, & previews on would improve your performance. It would still be low, but not as way low. That's one of the frustrating things ... these video programs are huge suckers of computer hardware capability. My laptop runs Lightroom & even Photoshop just fine. It's worse than yours for trying to do video on, however. But ... when I got it, I hadn't yet started down the video processing trail. All of 2-1/2 years ago.
As we can afford it, that will go to my wife ... also a professional portrait photog. I'll get something vastly more potent for the ability to do some video work on it.

ProRes Multi-cam editing playback choppy?

First project with HD footage.
I have four angles of HDV footage that I imported as ProRes and now I am trying to edit them with multi cam editor and it is playing very choppy.
Should I just of imported as HDV and edited it as HDV with a ProRes render setting?

Yes. This is why.
ProRes 1080i at 29.97 generates ~21MB/s load.
Individual good quality SATA drives should generate ~100MB/s + throughput when empty, but as they fill up, they slow down AND, when the drive heads are dancing all over the platters looking for multiple files, the throughput will drop. By having the files coming off of multiple drives, each individual drive is taxed less. I have no idea how many clips you are trying to run but you might get this to work.
x
fwiw - a good quality esata RAID like the Caldigit HDOne (8 drives) can bench around 300 MB/s in a RAID 0 configuration if I remember correctly. I had one to test for a while but didn't write down the numbers it generated. I do remember I had it running 16 streams of DVCProHD 720p24 without any real issues.

Multi-cam project crashing in FCP - continued

Hi,
Recently I had a question about cutting XDCam EX3 media in multi-cam on FCP (Shane & Tony gave some very good advice). The initial response - to transcode my EX3 media into ProResLT & then use these clips for multi-cam editing worked well (I'm cutting 10 x 75 min stand up comedy shows, 5 camera multicam, and will be delivering in standard Def PAL, but editing in HD).
However, I have a new problem, which may be related - simply that the FCP project keeps crashing, often just after an autosave.
Originally, I did have all of the edits in the same project, but to simplify things and reduce the size of the project file, which was only hitting 125mb at most (with 16gb of RAMM, running in 32bit, so max 4gb RAMM available to FCP), I've moved each acts edit into it's own project, so that the project just has one sequence (albeit quite complex) and it's source clips, and some effect templates in each individual project.
However, I'm still getting the same problem - the system keeps crashing, seemingly without a trigger event (although often it has appeared to crash just after an autosave).
There are two messages which have come up occasionally as part of the crash message: it's identified (on different occasions), two different plugins as having caused problems: the KG Core plug in, and the Black Magic plug in (we're using a Black Magic Decklink HD extreme card as our video card)
The crashes seemingly occour at random - often we can get through half a day without a crash, then once the gremlins kick in, it will keep crashing, often within moments of playback starting again.
My feelings are that it's something to do with playback of the multicam sequence - 5 streams of ProResLT, running from a RAID drive with a Mini SAS connection, which should handle the data throughput (sometimes with a one of a simple range of effects: Smooth Cam, 3 way colour grade, but I don't think it's the effects).
On this edit, the system that I'm cutting on is a Mac Pro 8 Core, with 16gb RAMM, with a Raid drive for the media, connected via a Mini SAS connection (all the ProResLT media is on this drive, and it's about 80% full, although we've had to juggle media a bit, which has meant adding, deleting & adding new media to the drive, while trying to keep the volume less than 90% full)
So, those are the details, does anyone have any suggestions on why our system keeps crashing?
Thanks in advance for your help & advice!
Cheers
Andrew

Thanks Thomas,
No I haven't done this yet (or really known about it, until now), but I'm downloading the trial version, and I'll run it ASAP, to see if it can give any clues.
It sounds like a path to a solution!
Thanks!

Publish multi-bitrate stream from FMS?

Hi,
I have an SSAS app to publish live streaming, you can refer here. Can I do publish multi-bitrate streaming with SSAS code over RTMP ? I read a tutorial, but it over HTTP...
Mai Huy

Hi everyone!
I have question, how can I play Multi Bit-rate, Live, HDS Streaming? I've done huge resarch and couldn't find how to do it.
I'm decoding stream properly from camera through Adobe Live Media Encoder to AMS.
everything works fine when I decode single bit rate and play like this:
           var resource : URLResource = new
URLResource("http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m");
        var manifest : F4MElement = new F4MElement(resource);
        var mediaPlayerSprite : MediaPlayerSprite = new MediaPlayerSprite();
        mediaPlayerSprite.media = manifest;
        addChild(mediaPlayerSprite);
with multibitrate - manifest file looks like this:
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">
<media streamId="livestream1" bitrate="100" />
<media streamId="livestream2" bitrate="500" />
<media streamId="livestream3" bitrate="1000" />
</manifest>

Premiere becomes completely unresponsive during multi-cam preview

While editing a 5 camera multi-cam project, Premiere completely locks me out during playback of the project. It's like my user interface just completely died. The project plays and nothing I do will stop it. Autosaves do not occur and I am forced to wait an hour for the whole timeline to play (haven't waited to see if I get control even after then) or 'end task' to kill the Premiere application, thus losing all my work up until the last save. I have had moments where Premiere locked my out for a few seconds, but I always managed to eventually get control. The last 2 times I never got control back.
I'm running the latest version of Premiere CC on Windows 8.1.
Any help in how to interrupt Premiere's coma in this situation would be greatly appreciated. Really sucks doing the same work 3+ times over.
Michael

i3770k 16gb RAM.... I don't think that's the problem.
I called Adobe Tech Support and they located the problem. I had the wrong sequence settings, which had the wrong preview format (codec). Apparently, the best way to create a sequence with a multi-cam track is to right-click on the multi-cam clip and select 'create sequence". This way Premiere chooses the optimal preview format for the video clip types it contains. And this is the only way to get Premiere to optimally handle multi-cam clips with various different video formats properly, such as mine.
I don't understand why one even has to worry about this sort of thing. Why shouldn't Premiere ALWAYS choose the optimal playback format? Coming from other editors I always found it really weird in Premiere that I had to select a sequence preset that was related to the video format I was editing. For one thing, many projects have mixed format types so this system that Premiere employs seems flawed and outdated.
Anyways, eventhough Premiere still drops a few frames during playback of my five 1080p streams, I can now edit and watch the multi-cam preview without fear of being completely locked out and losing control of Premiere.

A Better Way to do Multi-Camera

I am able to do multi-camera edits, synchonization and playback but I suspect I am doing it inefficiently. All of the tutorials I've seen start with only the clips that will participate in the multi-cam ALONE in a sequence. And I know all the steps from there. But what I don't know is how to efficiently proceed if there are may clips in a sequence and I only want to do multi-cam on one stack of clips in the sequence. For instance, let's say that I have 10 clips on the timeline. All are on video and audio tracks 1. But the 6th clip also has multi-cam clips on video and audio tracks 2-4. What I currently do is
1. copy these clips (only the clips located in the 6th spot tracks 1-4 on the timeline but not the entire sequence)
2. paste them to a new sequence (sequence #2)
3. create another new sequence (sequence #3)
4. drag sequence #2 into sequence #3)
I know all the multi-cam steps after this.
The question is: is this the most efficient way to do this when I'm starting with a sequence that has clips on them other than the ones that I want to participate in multi-cam. I'm creating 2 new sequences to accomplish this. Can it be done in only one new sequence?

I edit a lot of things the same way you are talking about when you have many clips on video 1 and then just a few where there are mulitple cameras.
If there are only 2 shots (Video 1 and Video 2) here is what I do.
1. Line up Video 2 over top of Video 1 in the proper place.
2. Right click on the clip in Video 2 and select "Unlink" (Unlinking will unlink the audio and video. You do this so that when you cut video 2 you do not also cut the audio)
3. Place the CTI so that it is on your Video 2 Clip and then double click on that clip. This will open the clip in your Source Monitor.
4. BEFORE moving the CTI, Right Click on the tab of your Program Monitor and select "Gang Source and Program".
5. Now turn off the eyeball on Video 2
6. When you scrub through the timeline you will see both your video in both the Program and Source monitors moving. Unfortuantely you cannot just play the video and watch both. You can play it and watch the Program monitor and when you stop the Source monitor will catch up.
7. Use the Cut tool to cut out spots of Video 2 so you can see Video 1.
8. One tip is that if you are going to cut the very first part of Video 2 the best thing to do is to get the CTI where you want Video 2 to start and then use your selection tool to just trim it to that spot. If you cut it and delete it you will loos your video in the source monitor. Not that big of a deal because all you have to do is Double Click on it again and re-select Gange Source and Program, but it saves you from having to mess with it.
If I have 3 or more video clips I just highlight them all and right click and select "Nest". That will make your new sequence for you with all your clips you selected. Just then do a normal Multi Cam edit.
Hope this helps some!

I am trying to determine the new project preset for multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders, main shot is DV (tape) (720x480), b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480), additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080). Film is from a wedding, DV contain

I am trying to determine the new project preset for a multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders,
Main shot is DV (tape) (720x480, 29fps) - ceremony and reception
b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480, 29fps) - bride preparations
additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080, 29fps) - groom preparations and misc all day ceremony and reception.
Film is from a wedding, DV contains main footage so I assume it will need to be the base. I am planning to use the preset for DV-Widescreen. Is there a better option? I'm concerned about playback as the three appear to have different PAR. I'm using Premiere Elements 10 on W8.
Ultimately this will be burned for two formats - one for a DVD that can be watched on a widescreen TV, second for a short clip trailer to go on vimeo.
(And no I won't be doing this again for a wedding that I shoot.)

Please review since I am not sure how you obtained Video 3 tall when you scaled Video 3 with Constrain Proportions in effect.
Before
After
It becomes a zoomed in effect to get rid of the black borders. But, there is no tall and thin involved anywhere.
And, after the Scale increase, you can always click on the screen and move the image around a bit
(without overdoing it to get black borders again).
After and an adjust
Please let us know if you are OK with the information above.
Thank you.
