Need help with HD Multi-cam editing...

So it is my understanding that you can't view a multi-cam sequence unless the footage you are viewing is unrendered/unlimited...
So my question is... how do I take rendered footage and de-render it so its unlimited... I tried adding an effect but even color corrector just makes the footage go from rendered to "needs render" which is no good.
For those who understand multi-cam editing better... could you provide some pointers. Thanks!

nvm i figured it out.

Need help with 4-5 camera set up for audio/video podcast

Hey guys. I'm overseeing the podcast/audiobook studio construction for my company's new entertainment venture. It will ultimately be my job to produce the podcasts and audiobooks. The catch is that they also want to film the podcasts as well. I'm trying to find the most affordable set up that makes the editing/conversion process easiest for me on FCPX.
As you'll see I'm a bit all over the place. The essentials for what I'm looking for is
1) The right Camcorder
2) The most efficient way to record, edit and sync audio
What is the most affordable camcorder to use that works really well with FCPX? I've been hearing rumors that some aren't compatable and require a tedious conversion process. The Kodak Zi8 seems perfect because it shoots in 1080p and has a mic input, but I'm not sure if it works well with FCPX. Now, I don't know if the mic input is necessary. I was thinking the easiest way to automatically sync audio is by plugging the 4 mics into the camera's mic input and record that way. That should sync everything up automatically right? I also watched a tutorial on the multicam editing option in Final Cut and that seems perfect for this project. Do I need a mic input if I use this method? It seems like the syncing is super easy with the built in camera audio and the podcast audio files together.
I also would like to be able to record directly into the computer but don't know if that's possible. The process of taking 4-5 SD cards and uploading it after each shoot that way seems super tedious. I'm not sure if there is way to do that.
Another option would be for us to buy a video switcher but all the options seem so expensive. Anybody know of good hardware that'd work? That way I could edit on the go and if we want to make this a live ustream we can do so. I was also thinking about switcher software and using MIDI. Not sure if that is possible either.

Lets ignore whether you should be doing this, but, if they are requesting that you do it, have at it.
Although, the simplicity of this is mind boggling, for them not to do it...ah well, you're donating for a non profit, they are probably the cheapest game in town, and lost the sole employee who could scratch their backside...
Choice one, I dont recommend this one - File > Print booklet, 2 up saddle stitch. Flip back and forth using the Print Settings button at the bottom to orient the page layout and set paper size. Set the printer as Adobe PDF. Keep checking the Preview in the main Print Booklet dialog, I had to set a page range of 39 pages in a 40 page book for this to work last week.
Choice two - If you have set a 44 page document with bleeds, export to pdf, toggle "Use ducument bleeds", no crops. Place those reulting pdf's in a new 11 x 17, landscape doc, with appropriate bleeds. How you defined the bleeds in the 44 page document dictates how much fiddling you will have to do at the center (fold line) of the new 11 x 17 "imposed" document. (If your 44 page was not set as facing pages, you might have defind inside bleed to zero. If it was not set as a facing pages document, it references top, bottom, left and right bleeds) (The use of pdf for this is not necessary, you could just as easily place pages from the original InDesign file as pdf's) Setting a blue line/guide line at the center would help to crop in bleeding frames.
All above seems too simple, you are only needing to impose pages 22-23 for these steps btw.

Need help with WD MyBook World Edition

Hello,
I need some help on behalf of my whole office. I work for a digital print shop. We use a MyBook World Edition (not sure if 1 or 2) as our shared drive. Essentially, our receptionist places files from the client into MyBook, we access it from our computers in the back, and then use it again to transfer files to the computers that control the printers. I don't run the company, please don't tell me how we could be doing this better.
On Monday, all of our computers suddenly got kicked from MyBook. We didn't do any updates or change anything, it just stopped working. This system has been working for us for months, possibly years I haven't been here that long. We reset it, and the Windows machines were able to recognize and access the drive. It shows up on the Macs under the shared panel, but we can't access it. It just says "connecting" forever, nothing happens. This problem is affecting 2 Mac Pros with Snow Leopard, and 1 with Mavericks.
This is a huge deal for us, and we really need to get it fixed. We've resorted to passing files around on flash drives for the week, and it's been frustrating to say the least. If it helps, we have our MyBook in the front office, connected to an Airport Express Base Station. All of the computers connect via wifi.
I'll be watching this discussion all day, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you turned the external drive off, let is set for approximately 30 seconds, and then turned it back on? Restarted computers?
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

I need help with my MSI Dragon edition 2 with windows 7 64 bit home edition

I recently got my laptop from Xotic PC with windows 7 64 bit home version which was free. The only problems I have for the laptop is that I can't detected the Nvidia Geoforce GTX 780m graphics card on my system or update it, games on steam tend to lag like Metro the last night which came free for me but even at low settings the lag was really bad. Sometimes the screen starts flickering becasue of a display driver error after playing a game or closing a game. So if anyone can help me with these issues I would really appreciate helping me fix these errors.

Need help with creating multi out instruments...

What do I do wrong here… I tried to figure this out already since at least 1 year. I am desperate!
Here is what I do while trying to make a multi output instrument in logic studio 9:
1:I create 1 software instrument:
2: I choose a multi output stereo AU Instrument:
3: I load 5 software instruments, each on its own channel, all in the same Logic Instrument:
4: In the mixer, I created 5 Aux channels by clicking on the + sign of the Instrument:
5: In the arrange window, I create 5 new channels from the Track menu with New with Next Midi Channel:
Now when playing the 1st instrument track, still the sound goes directly to the output 1/2, the Aux sliders don't have any control over the volume. What do I do wrong?
Hope to find some help,
André

Hi
Depending on which version of Kontakt you are using, there are some "automated" ways of creating additional outputs, and assigning each sound to a different output:
Pic show Kontakt 4
Once you have done that, and (in Logic) loaded a Multi-Out instance of Kontakt, all you have to do is create the additional Aux channels in the mixer (using the small +) at the bottom of the Instrument Channel Strip).

Need Help With Motion Track/Camera Tracking

I've been trying for several days to motion track 2 seconds worth of footage but I cannot get it. I've tried the AE motion track, 3D Camera Tracker, Mocha Pro, Camera Tracker from the Foundry, Boujou (could be user error with that though, cause I had never used it before), but I cannot get this shot figured out. Test - YouTube here is a link to the footage, I'm trying to track from frame 183-235 (where the guy is kneeling down in front of the box holding dynamite and everything is black and red)
Any help would be great, all I want to do is have an image attached to one of the boards in the background so it doesn't move.
Thanks!

Wow you have boujou? Thats awesome $10k, anyway looks like mocha should be fine for this as I don't see a ton of camera movement in that shot where you want to track. Do you know how to use mocha? If not there are tuts while working on that scene. Here's a few http://cgi.tutsplus.com/articles/advanced-motion-tracking-with-mocha-ae--ae-15231 and for various tracker apps including the built in one http://cgi.tutsplus.com/articles/26-tracking-and-matchmoving-tutorials--ae-7394

Need help with Droid Charge camera shuting off phone

We have two droid charge phones that we got in April on Amazon. We are trying to troubleshoot with Samsung and getting not much help. Phone dies quickly at times, but not other times. It consistently shuts off when taking pictures, though, on both phones. It is clear to us that the phone has a problem because we have two. I've seen two work-arounds. One is getting a bigger battery that requires a new larger phone back. The other is to put the phone in Airplane Mode. Apparently, this problem is due to a "power load" issue. So, the phones are inherently defective.
We like the phones and at brief times we have been fooled into thinking they are working fine... because once in a while the camera works fine. We haven't had any replacement phones because it seems that so many have this issue and therefore, figured what is the point. We would like to know if other Droid Charge cameras don't have this issue because we expect to be able to use the camera. We have 3 little boys and we already have lost pictures from the last day of school because we counted on this phone. Sounds like a small problem until you look at it that way.
Really wish Amazon, Verizon or Samsung could get us a good solution to a seemingly nice phone.

Nolpost and smsmoot, I’m sorry to hear of the issues you are having with the phone shutting off when using the camera. This is no fun! I use my camera often and would hate for it to reboot my phone every time I use it. I can only imagine how frustrating that must be. But don’t worry guys because I’m here to help!
How long have you guys had this issue? Does it happen every time you use the camera? Did you notice this started after the software update? If so, have you performed a hard reset http://bit.ly/w21WpW since the update?
If you have already performed a hard reset and are still experiencing this issue, please send me a DM with your name and mobile number so I can access your account and further assist you.
I look forward to hear from you guys.

Need help with finding "my" camera..

I'm having difficulty finding a camera with specific features that are important for me. I would greatly appreciate any help in finding the brand and model that fits the bill. I've googled and googled, without any luck. Help! I'm looking for a digital camera with:
1. GPS
2. "small" size (gotta fit in my purse, no camera bags for me!)
3. viewfinder
4. takes AA batteries
TIA

As a GPS and AA enthusiast, I too have been waiting for a similar combination.
nuff said about GPS models like the NIkon AW100, P510, S9300 similar models using propreitary batteries.
DSLR with AA powered grips don't fit your portability factor
have you considered an AA powered data logger? I use the discontinued Sony GPS-CS1. Not only does it provide a data file to sync with my camera clock, but it also draws a breadcrumb on where I go so I can look it up on a map afterwards.

Need help with Nokia E5 Camera

Hi all,
i just bought my nokia e5 last week.
i realized that i cannot turn off the sound when i snap pictures with the camera.
i've gone to the settings, it only allows for changed between camera tone 1 to tone 4. No way to turn off the sound at all.
Turned the phone to silent mode, but the camera sound remains.
Does anyone know how i can get rid of that sound? (as it is quite irritating)
Thanks

You could try to disable the "warning tones" in your current profile. On some models that will silence the camera, but it can also silence java based games or apps.
In many countries Nokia is forced to make it so that the camera sound cannot be disabled to comply with privacy laws. So if nothing works to silence it, that is the reason.

I need help with my N70 Music Edition!

How do I fix it? Whenever I press the music button or go to the tracks in the gallery, it processes and by the time it finishes, it goes back to the wallpaper/desktop/starting screen. I still have 54mb out of my 1gb memory card. It's getting hard for me not being able to play my songs. I can't format the memory card because I have no backup and I can't backup the files in my laptop. The laptop only has less than 1gb memory. HELP PLEASE. Thanks

Need help with Multi-cam editing in Premiere Pro CC/7.0

I've been using 6.0 for a while now, and had to install 7.0/cc, but now I can't find where to record multi-cam edits. I've already lined up my clips and created a new sequence and enabled multi-cam, I just don't see the Multi-Cam Editor. Please help!

Hey!
I found the record-button in the programm panel. But now it won't let me hit record. The button is disabled (see screenshot).
What can I do about it?
If I just hit play and then change the angles in the source window, Premiere won't record those edits. Only thing it does is it keeps the whole clip in this one angle.

Help with multi camera editing in Premiere Pro

Ok I'm new...so bear with me.
I am editing a basic interview shot on two cameras and cutting away to some still images.
The rushes are 4 lots of film about 10 mins in length.
I inputted the footage from the two cameras and created a new sequence for each using the multi camera audio synchronisation method (which worked great).
So how do I go about creating my edit? Something tells me I'm going about it in the wrong way.
Do I need to create my edit using single camera shots and then create multi camera sequences for each individual clip? It seems so laborious as its all already synced up for two cameras.
I am a bit confused about creating clips v creating sequences.
I'm sorry if this is making some of you cringe :/ ....but I really can't find any help in online tutorials.
I need basic step by step instruction.

humm, sounds like your 4 lots do not overlap in time, and that there is space between each lot. So would that be 4 multi-camera sequences with the two cameras?
If so, why even multicamera edit that? and just set up to Video tracks, sync the audio and opacity keyframe between the two tracks.
Good to get your multi-camera edit workflow going proper though.
Sounds like you need to multi-camera edit your 4 sequences separately, unless you sync each lot with its corresponding clip and put on the same timeline, then do one sequence and one multi-camera edit

Multi Camera Editing with Matrox CODEC ( VS4 ) Card

Hello All.
Setup
I am recording 4 inputs from the Matrox VS4 via Wirecast 4.2 and also tried 5.0
- 1080i @ 100Mbps
- All the video footage play perfectly with no problems what so ever
- I Have installed the Matrox VFW Software Codecs of a system which DOES NOT have the VS4 card
- I can edit 1 video with NO PROBLEM.
Problem
- Using Adobe Premiere 7.1 CC with multi camera editing, the footage is jittery after a few seconds.
- Using Adobe Premiere CS 6.0 with multi camera editing, the footage is jittery after a few seconds.
- I have tried with 2 cameras up to 4 cameras and I get the same problem.#
Other Test
- I have tried 12 x videos which are MP4 in multi camera editing with NO PROBLEMS!!!
- I am using 4 x 128GB SSD in RAID 0 ( 1450 MB/s) - Through put is not an issue.
- I have also reduced the MB/s on the ISO capture of 50MB/s
This is the CODEC you need to have installed on your computer in order to edit the view/edit the videos recorded by the Matrox VS4:
http://www.matrox.com/video/en/support/windows/vfw_software_codecs/downloads/softwares/ver sion1.0/
The Matrox Video for Windows (VFW) software codecs let you render and play back Matrox .avi files in your VFW programs without having Matrox video hardware installed. This version provides codecs that were previously available only on systems that have particular Matrox video hardware, such as Matrox Axio. This includes the Matrox DVCPRO HD codec, and "+ Alpha" versions of the Matrox uncompressed and MPEG-2 I-frame codecs. As well, the Matrox VFW MPEG-2 I-frame HD codec now lets you render and play back Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame .avi files in all HD formats (720p, 1440x1080i/p, and full-size 1080i/p).
The following VFW software codecs are provided for use on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems:
Matrox DV/DVCAM
Matrox DVCPRO
Matrox DVCPRO50
Matrox DVCPRO HD
Matrox MPEG-2 I-frame in SD and HD resolutions, with or without alpha
Matrox Uncompressed in SD and HD resolutions, with or without alpha
Matrox Offline HD
Matrox M-JPEG and HDV (playback only)
Is this an issue that is present the Premier 7.1 CC or the CODEC or even both?
Thank you all.

Hello,
Please send me an email at;

Multi-cam edit issues with multiple DSLR clips

Hello,
Working in CC. I have 2 camera angles that were filmed with 2 DSLRs, and mic'd audio that was recorded into a Zoom H4N. Audio recording never stopped, but due to the nature of DSLRs, the 2 cameras would stop recording every 12 +/- minutes. In this end, I have:
Camera 1 - 16 clips
Camera 2 - 17 clips
Zoom H4N - 1 track
When using the multi-cam source sequence option, it understandably thinks each clip is a new camera/angle. However, that's not very helpful for me when I have 17 angles (15 of which are blank) showing up in the program monitor. Any suggestions on how to better tackle this dilemma?
Thank You.

Thanks, Mark. Appreciate the quick response. After messing around, I combined your method with PluralEyes (seemed less tedious that syncing 17 clips manually). There might be a faster/easier way, but this is what I did, in case any one is curious (sounds more tedious than it actual is):
1. Select cam 1 clip 1, cam 2 clip 1 and external audio in the Browser.
2. Left-click, "create Multi-Camera Source Sequence." Two angles and audio are now in a multi-cam sequence. Rename as Multicam_Source_Sequence
3. Create new sequence, called Sequence_01 and open in timeline.
3. Excluding cam 1 clip 1 and cam 2 clip 1, drag all remaining clips of cam 1 to V1, all remaining cam 2 clips to V2, and single external audio to A3 into Sequence_01 timeline.
4. Launch Sequence_01 into PluralEyes 3. Sync and Export.
5. Open PluralEyes' "Sequence_01_synced" (not "Sequence_01_synced Replaced") in timeline.
6. Find a good marker point toward the beginning of the audio where it has synced cam 1 clip 2 and cam 2 clip 2. Cut at that point.
7. Copy all video tracks (exclude audio tracks).
8. Find Multicam_Source_Sequence and open in timeline (un-nested, so that all tracks are revealed).
9. Manually find the same audio marker point where you cut in Sequence_01_synced. Place playhead directly at cut point.
10. Paste video clips. All tracks are now synced in a multi-cam sequence.
From here, it's the usual steps for preparing multi-cam editing, like you mentioned.
11. Create new sequence, called Multicam_Working_Sequence. Open in timeline.
12. Make sure nesting button is turned on in timeline.
13. Drag Multicam_Source_Sequence into Multicam_Working_Sequence.
14. Right-click the nested sequence>Multi-Camera>Enable.
15. Enable Multi-camera view in Program Monitor's panel menu.
Voila! Took me awhile, but this works.And no 17 angles popping up in the program monitor. Let me know if you'd add (or remove) anything. Thanks, again!
