Multiple Video Streams on Same Monitor or Screen

Is it possible to merge multiple video streams on the same timeline in PP CS5? I have a customer thats wants me to do thisfor him.
This would be like you see a security monitor with three or four small images on the same screen.

Charles,
What the client is asking for is PiP (Picture in Picture), and Colin has outlined the method for creating the PiP.
I also find it easiest, when doing a lot of PiP work, to use alignment grids, to help me with both the Scaling and the Position. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail. For PiP, I will usually create a custom alignment grid, similar to this:
Good luck, and hope that this helps,

  • Multiple video streams displayed on separate monitors

    I'm working on a project that will have 6 screens showing 6 different pieces running simultaneously. We'll be cutting all 6 pieces in FCP, but i was wondering if there is anyway to view multiple video streams on 6 different displays running at the same time in FCP? Obviously some sort of display hub or router needs to be had, or perhaps some other hardware/software.
    Anyone have any great ideas?

    My old video professor from school did a lot of video installations. He often had trouble keeping multiple DVD players in sync with one another, they would drift over time. If you are thinking about the DVD player route, make sure you're using the exact same model for each player, and make sure to run tests over a long period of time.
    Of course, using an external genlock would probably prevent that, too.

  • HELP: Is it possible to record from multiple video streams using iMovie?

    Is it possible to record from multiple video streams using iMovie.
    I want to record a presenter on a greenscreen and also his powerpoint slides at the same time and cut from one to other.
    Can imovie record from screen and camera at same time?
    If so is there a link to somewhere explaining how to do so?
    If not, what is the most efficient way to do so, without having to learn a whole complex program?
    Please advise asap.
    Very many thanks

    Alan and Anthony,
    Thanks for the quick responses. Unfortunately, there is no backup :(.
    I will ask if they get logged into the global zone, but one thing I forgot to mention is that this zone (as are all our non-global zones and the global zone also) are configured for ldap logins.
    Assuming that they can even try to login to the global zone, can they even see the directory structure in the non-global zone (sorry, I haven't worked with Zones much thus far) from the global zone?
    Also, if they can see the non-global zones directory structure, what should they then try?
    Also, I've been searching and I've seen some suggestions of running a "pkgcheck -af" which might restore the directory permissions to what the various packages expect. Assuming that they can get to the point that they can at least log into the zone, is that something that would work?
    I'm setting up a new test Solaris box now, with a zone, to try to reproduce the problem. If I can reproduce the problem, I'll post back whether or not I see the same thing.
    In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions, please post them.
    Thanks,
    Jim
    P.S. In case you're wondering, the box/zone that got messed up was a test/integration zone, and they were in the process of installing some software when this chmod happened.

  • Full screen videos/streams on second monitor won't stay full screen while using another window on other monitor

    Whenever I open and then full screen a video or stream of any kind, I am unable to use another window of Firefox while the video/stream maintains full screen. When I click off the video/stream it reverts back to the smaller screen. Is there any way to change this?

  • Manipulating multiple video tracks in Program Monitor?

    I'm a recent convert to Premiere Pro CC from Final Cut Pro 7 and am trying to determine if here is a comparable function for two features...
    First, let's say I have a clip on Timeline Video track 1 and another above it on Timeline Video Track 2.  Further, let's say I've cropped the clip on Video Track 2 and created a split screen between the two clips.
    Now, let's assume I want to move BOTH the clip on V1 and V2 a little to the left.  In FCP7, I could grab both V1 and V2 IN THE PROGRAM Monitor, and drag them both simultaneously a little left, right, up or down together.
    In Premiere, can't seem to grab more than one video track in the Program Monitor at a time, without nesting the clips which is an extra step.  Is there a way to grab more than one video track in the Program Monitor so I can adjust multiple elements at the same time?
    I also noticed that if I GROUP the clips, I loose all EFFECT CONTROLS functionality in the panel.  Why is that?
    My second question is about keyframing.  In FCP if I wanted to place a keyframe across Motion, Scale, Crop, ect all in one keystoke, I could do it with CONTROL K.  I don't seem to be able to to that in Premiere Pro.  Is there a way to place keyframes across Position and scale at the same time in one keystoke?
    Thanks you in advance for any guideance. 

    You can change the position of one clip at a time.  If you nest those two clips, that it will be treated as one.
    Keyframes can be moved in a group by selecting, but only added one at a time.

  • Multiple Video Cards for 3 Monitor Display

    I'm in the process of creating a large multiscreen presentation (3 screens). I need an application (will probably be authored in Director or Flash) to span all three screens. Each screen will have a resolution of 1280 x 720. I am looking into what the best solution is for this.
    One Quad head card?
    Two video cards, one dual head, one normal?
    Three video cards?
    I've heard with PCs that if you have multiple video cards, you can't run a fullscreen application across video cards. Does the same hold true for Macs?
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having a hard time figuring this out. It seems as though people on this forum have been playing games across all three monitors. However, I just went to the big glass Mac store in NYC and asked a few people at the "genius bar." The guy I talked to was very skeptical of running a fullscreen application across video cards. Another guy I talked to said it was application dependent. They had no MacPros with dual head cards, so I couldn't check its settings.
    If anyone can out genius the genius bar and give me a solid answer, I'd be greatly indebted. I'd like to get an answer before spending 5 grand on a system.

  • Adobe cirrus and multiple video streams

    Hello!
    Actually, I would like to know - is there a way from one machine to publish two or more video streams, creating the necessary number of connections and cells (with different qualities)?
    At the moment, this trick does not work, but I am using a developer key for multiplesimultaneous connections, with returns only the last published data stream.
    I would be very grateful for the clarification!

    That's actually exactly how I have it, I just added an extra option so you can, in theory, switch between the two versions on the fly.
    In the track viewer both video streams are the exact same length, the only issue is when I switch the video angles. I guess I could just erase the second video stream and avoid the problem altogether (don't want that showing up in my final school project now do I), but I really want to figure this out.

  • Multiple Video Streams not synced

    Long story short;
    I have a track with two video streams or angles. They are the exact same in terms of timecode down to the last frame (it's basically the same video but one stream has a color filter for visual effect).
    My problem is this: whenever I switch between the two videos, the second video is not synced with the audio. It seems to be a few seconds off, and I'm hoping to get this issue resolved. The first video stream is synced properly regardless, but it's just the second stream that isn't working properly.
    If it makes any difference, I'm using .m2v video format and only one audio stream. Anybody have any ideas?

    If I get the family plan for 2 devices, will we be able to listen to the same songs at the same time? I want to be able to stream music on multiple devices yet have the option to listen privately. Will the family plan offer this?

    It will store multiplle devices.

  • Capturing multiple video streams into a movie file

    I am using QTKit to capture 3 media streams simultaneously: audio, video, and display (display is screen capture), and would like to capture them in a time-synchronized fashion to a single .mov file.
    I have been able to successfully capture these three streams to 2 separate .mov files by using 2 QTCaptureSessions (one for audio/video, one for display video), but the problem here is that the 2 files are not time-synchronized (I have no idea how to synch them after the fact).
    The more intuitively correct thing to do is to use a single QTCaptureSession instance with 3 inputs (2 video inputs and one audio) to do the capture, which should automatically synch all the streams. Furthermore, since the .mov file can support an arbitary number of streams, I figured wiring up the QTCaptureSession to output to a single .mov file would be easy. I was wrong.
    The problem is that even though my QTCaptureSession has 3 nice input connections (2 video and 1 audio), when I wire up a QTCaptureMovieFileOutput to it, the resulting QTCaptureMovieFileOutput object has ONLY 2 connections: a single video and a single audio.
    Here is snippets of what I am doing:
    // add audio input: (type of media is QTMediaTypeAudio), succeeds
    [qtSession addInput:[QTCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice: qtAudioDevice] error:&qtError]
    // add video input: (type of media is QTMediaTypeVideo), succeeds
    [qtSession addInput:[QTCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice: qtVideoDevice] error:&qtError]
    // add display input: (type of media is QTMediaTypeVideo), succeeds
    [qtSession addInput:[QTCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice: qtDisplayDevice] error:&qtError]
    // create file output
    QTCaptureMovieFileOutput * qtFile = [[QTCaptureMovieFileOutput alloc] init];
    [qtSession addOutput:qtFile error:&qtError];
    // PROBLEM: if I look at this array of connections, it has ONLY 2 connections
    // 1 video, 1 audio!!!
    NSArray *connections = [qtFile connections];
    // start capture running
    [qtSession startRunning];
    // wire up to my file
    [qtFileOutput recordToOutputFileURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:outputFileName]];
    I desperately need help....my questions:
    1. Since QTCaptureSession supports arbitary inputs, and QTMovie supports arbitrary # of streams, I can't believe it's not possible for me to simply "hook" all the inputs of QTCap to output connections that will write to streams in one movie file. Clearly, QTCaptureMovieFileOutput is not doing this...can anyone tell me how to do this? This can't be hard, right?
    2. If I have to fall back on the ridiculous approach of capturing 2 unsynchronized .mov files and somehow synching them after the fact, can anyone provide a pointer on how to do that?
    Thanks VERY much!

  • Walking characters, multiple video tracks/clips with a green screen

    I'm pretty new to Final Cut Pro.
    Here is the scenario:
    -I have three characters (puppets).
    -Each are recorded on a separate video track.
    -Each are recorded with a green screen for the background.
    -They are all walking in the same direction.
    Question: How do I have all three characters walk along the same path on the same video? I have layered them one on top of the other and have tried to mess around with the different settings (including: Mask Shape filter; cropping the clip). However, they either walk out of the clip or there is not enough room between them with all clips playing at the same time.
    Is there some way to isolate the character and their movements?
    (P.S. I need them all to be of the same opacity in the end)
    Thanks for your expertise.

    1. I have three characters moving quite a large distance. I am trying to fit all of this movement into one clip and not have the video clips overlapping (I am also dealing with puppeteers in the background, so there is a lot I still have to edit out of the background using Shake).
    Good luck on Shake but creating a mask and then processing the key is easy in Motion.
    TylerC_Edit wrote:
    I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "executing the keys".
    Masking, tweaking, processing, rendering. If you set up each puppet as a separate project in Motion, you can successfully execute on of the keys and then apply the same settings to the other two.
    TylerC_Edit wrote:
    And yes, I need to figure out what it means to export with the Alpha.
    Exporting the movie removes all processing so all you're doing is stacking up three puppets moving against a transparent background. Each can be scaled, positioned, keyframed, and have interactive shadows applied to it without requiring the chromakey to be process first. Huge timesaver.

    I have looked into Motion, but am having trouble even viewing the video- is very laggy. Most likely my computer is too slow...unless you have any suggestions?
    Motion requires some pretty hefty graphics hardware. You must have at least a 4870. But you have not specified in any of your posts what your format is.

  • Playing multiple videos on the same page in Dreamweaver CS4?

    Suppose on my website, I have a few dozen videos, all of them embedded YouTube videos. When the user goes to the page, Video 1 is up and ready to be played. Below Video 1 is a list of the other videos (Video 2, Video 3, and so on), each with a thumbnail picture. When the user clicks this thumbnail page, the new video is loaded (eg: if they click on the thumbnail for Video 2, Video 2 is up and ready to be played).
    What do I do in Dreamweaver CS4 so the new video loads without redirecting the user to another page? With so many videos, I imagine that it isn't efficient to have a separate page for each video. 

    Hi
    You can do this by using an xml playlist for your videos, (do a search for "creating flash xml playlists").

  • Playback of Multiple Videos Simultaneously -- onCuePoint

    Hello AS3 Gurus!
    I have multiple instances of a video playback object (not an FLVPlayback component) on my stage (named "videoScreen1", "videoScreen2", etc...). I have separate NetConnections, NetStreams, and NetStatusEvent handlers set up for each of the video instances. Everything works fine (playback of each video in each instance happens as expected and the NetStatusEvent handlers fire off, as expected, for each of the video streams) except I cannot figure out how to separately keep track of the OnCuePoints events for each of the video streams.
    Right now, I have just one onCuePoint function that reacts to the cuepoint info for all the streams at once (with the following code). This misses some of the cuepoints since it seems that it gets a bit confused as to how to handle all the onCuePoint events that fire off from all of the video streams. What I would like is to have separate onCuePoint functions set-up that react to only one stream. That is, have one onCuePoint function react to the video streaming on my "videoScreen1" video object, another that is reacting to my "videoScreen2" video object, etc... How can I do this?
    function onCuePoint(cpInfo:Object):void {
         var key:String;
         for (key in cpInfo) {
             trace(key + ": " + cpInfo[key]);
    Or, should my question be: "What is the best way to handle the simultaneous playback of multiple video streams and keep track of onCuePoint (and onMetaData) events for each of the streaming videos?"
    Any input would, as always, be most appreciated.
    Regards,

    Hi!
    I have had - and still seem to have the same problem. QuickTime 7 will start stuttering after the first change, ie. after the first movie. If you pause playback on and off, the current film will play perfectly - until the next change in the playlist. Then the problem reaccurs.
    I cured the situation by going back to QT 6.5.2, where everything works just fine... but you have to do without a lot of nice stuff that QT7 has.
    Also remember that QuickTime only supports a subset of SMIL, not all commands.

  • For encode multiple videos do l need multiple sources?

    I would like to encode more than one video from the same source, but if l am able to use a software to create multiple virtual sources, can l encode multiple videos at the same time on the same computer, or do l need more than one??

    Sorry Alp, I should of tested but then I would just got angry with smart view : )
    It does say in the docs - "*You can select one cell or a range of contiguous cells in a row or column*"
