New 70D owner wanting to record video - has questions

I recently purchased a 70D due to the gratifying comments of satisfied owners of this camera and touting it's ability to shoot great video. My question is this: I want to shoot event video's such as HS plays, graduations, weddings, etc. and am asking if there are issues with recording at this length of time such as overheating, shutting down, etc. I know that it has a 29:59 limit and you just need to stop and restart before that time and continue recording. Is this a fair statement or am I in trouble if I want to record something with any length.
Thanks in advance!
Dave

No problem with heating or anything. Moving shooting will stop if you use a slow card, so get the fastest one possible.

Recorded video has no audio

Hi, i have lumia 1020, the problem is that the recorded video has no audio. It worked for the first 2 video i have made . But it doesn't anymore.I have done a factory reset. But it still not working. The sound is not recorded anymore.
Is there a way to solve this problem.
Thanks !

Hi gent123,
This is for a Lumia 925, right? When did this issue start to happen? Did something happen to your phone prior to this issue? Are you also experiencing the other issues mentioned above, like issues with voice commands and audio note recording? What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
The video audio is captured by the phone's secondary mic, which is located on the top of the phone, beside the headset port. If you have a phone cover that might block the secondary mic, try removing it for a while and see if the audio will be captured when recording videos. Try also to reboot the phone by pressing and holding the volume down + power keys until it vibrates and restarts.
Make sure that the phone's software and system apps are updated as well. Check this link for steps on how to verify if the system apps are up-to-date: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates.

Totally new to MAC, want to record music (voice over on karaoke track)

Good morning! I'm totally new to this so forgive me if this topic has been covered before. I have a MACBOOK PRO and I am a singer-performer. I have a multitude of music tracks that I would now like to lay a voice track over and perhaps video record it as well. Is Garageband is the best way to do this (in ILIFE) and if so, how?
Thanks!

if the music is in a supported format:

drop the file into GB's timeline, then create another track on which to record your vocals. you can use the internal mic to get started:

I want to record video using iphone5 but save direct to external hard drive

I want to film an interview and for convenience I want to use my iphone5.
But I only currently only have enough space on the phone to store a few minutes of video on my camera roll
Can I somehow plug in an external hard drive or any other device and save direct to this (by-passing the phones' internal memory) so I can use the phone's camera to record over an hour's worth of video?
Thanks

Well, I am not aware of any smartphone device that is able to attach an external drive. I am aware of some that allow for the insertion of memory sticks, but I'm not sure that would provide you with the memory you would need for the project you are trying to do. And with them, you would have to see if it is possible to bypass internal memory and go straight to the external.
You can provide feedbackk to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

Recorded video has saturation clicks in sound track

Using my iPhone 4S running latest iOS6. Using the inbuilt camera app in video mode. I recorded a performance art event and all the audio on the video track has clicking sounds throughout which are so loud they have ruined the recording. Looking at the audio waveforms they all appear to be saturated where the clicks happen. There is no way to adjust the gain control using the camera app. Is there any solution or am I going to be unable to record any video in situations where the ambient sound is loud?
My phone is in a LifeProof case, if this makes a difference to the audio saturation.
Should I purchase a separate mini jack microphone?
Any third party video recorder app with gain control you know of?
Thanks,
Steve

Well, for what it's worth, I've not had too much success with it myself (otherwise I'd have made some suggestion).
If I have some minor clicks I tend to surgically remove them in editor. It can take ages, so I'd love to know an easier way too!

GLC: Recorded video has red and green flashes

I tried Googling for a solution but GLC appears to be such an obscure program that none of the results are even related
I finally got GLC working mostly correctly on Arch64. It records my game in Wine, but when I play back the video it has a red or green "flash" every few seconds that is really disruptive. I know glc-capture has a bunch of options, but I'm not sure what most of them do so I was hoping somebody knew how to fix this problem without me trying different combinations of options until something hopefully works.

Alright I've done some more playing around with it but I don't think I'm any closer to a solution.
I've tried pretty much every command line switch to GLC that I think could have any effect at all but nothing changes. The game in question I'm trying to record is EVE Online. The intensity of the flashes seems to vary throughout the recording, here's what I can gather:
- No flashes at all during the login screen (which does have a bunch of 3D rendering, it's not just a flat text box or anything)
- Moderate flashes when flying in space, primarily when I try to pan the camera
- Video goes to complete garbage when I dock in a station. Not a single frame from inside the station is output to the video, it just loops the last in-space frames with lots of colors and other garbage obscuring the screen
I can upload a video if anyone thinks it would help. I'd really like to get this working, GLC appears to be the only program under Linux that can be used to record games. It seems like I'm so close to a solution yet so far away.

New iPod Touch-want to load videos created using Final Cut Studio

I'm unable to transfer movies I create on my Mac into the iPod Touch. I'm assuming all transfers to the iPod need to go through iTunes - is this correct?
I created a video in Final Cut Pro, then compressed two versions of podcasts in Compressor.
H.264 for iPod video and iPhone 320x320(QVGA)
H.264 for iPod video and iPhone 640x640(QVGA)
I then dragged them into iTunes library, thinking they would go into the Podcast folder, but instead they went to the Movie folder.
I synced to the iPod, and they fail to transfer/load. I then selected "Create iPod or iPhone Version" from the iTunes "Advanced" menu in case there was some file issue, but was unsuccessful in dragging it to the Podcast folder.
Does the iPod Touch sync up to all iTune's folders, or, is it limited to what's in the Podcast folder?
Is there a utility that exists to verify the video files are of the correct format.
Are there other steps I am missing?

For anyone else in the same situation - videos created in Final Cut Pro and compressed using either of the Compressor settings will create podcasts that can be synced up and play on the iPod Touch,
The problem was the "Sync Movies" setting - it was disabled. The challenge was finding the settings, and wouldn't have been an issue prior to release of version 3.0 software upgrade notice.
The "Sync" settings were where I first looked, from within iTunes, but as I said, the device settings were being hidden by an "Apple commercial" for the version 3.0 software upgrade - once I clicked on "Remind Me Later" I was able to see the 8 tabbed configuration screen. I guess marketing trumps usability.

New iPad owner wants app suggestions especially for photography?

Want to use ipad for editing pictures what are some good apps? Also can I get edited pics back to main computer (Macbook Pro?)

There are many available on the store. So far I find I use Photogene, PhotoForge, and Filterstorm the most. The first two are less than $10 each and the third is free.
Just browse the photography section on the app store and read the reviews.
I usually transfer my photos between my iPhone 3GS, 64GB 3G iPad, and iMac using the Photo Transfer app. Other times I use the Camera Connection Kit or iTunes.

First thread a new iPhone owner. I've got a question

I just got an iPhone 5, the first iPhone device I've ever owned so I trying to get used to it. I've got a question though. Is this normal or is the iPhone disfunctional. Sometimes I would get a text and hear the text recieved notification sound. I wouldn't check the text and after like a minute or so the sound goes off again. At first I thought I got two texts but it was actually the same one.
Is this supposed to be some kind of reminder that you've got an unread text pending?

That's by design based on how many times you ahve it set to alert you.
I suggest you read the manual: http://support.apple.com/manuals/

I am a new mac owner and want to purchase Office for Mac. Thought I was told it could be purchased thru the mac store for approx $80 (word, excel, powerpoint). It is priced at $150 at the mac store. Any advice?

I am a new mac owner & want to purchase Office for Mac. Thought I was told I could get it through the mac store for approx. $80 (word, excel, powerpoint). However, it looks like the cost is actually $150. Is there a better deal?

Here it is from a trusted vendor of Mac goodies for US$100:
Microsoft Office 2011 Mac: Home/Student Edition. Single User License.
I also see the Mac version offered about every other week at Staples for about the same price.
Understand that the 2011 "Home/Student" edition does not come with a mail client.MS dropped Entourage with the 2011 version.
I am running Office 2008 on a Late 2010 i7 Quad iMac and a Core 2 Duo MBP (both are at OS 10.6.8) and I have no complaints. If you want the Entourage Mail client, you can still get Office 2008 from the vendor I linked.
I wonder if someone quoted the US$80 price thinking of Apple iWorks.

New DSLR owner (70D), need some pointers

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and am trying to learn as much as possible about my new 70D. I just have a few questions I was hoping I could get answered.
1. Should I always be shooting in RAW mode? I want the best possible images...
2. Should I always try to be using the lowest ISO possible?
3. What lense would you recommend as a prime? I have two kit lenses but am looking for something that would be good at everything (landscapes, portraits, etc.)
I'm sure I'll think of more but if I could get any responses on these I'd surely appreciate it!
Thanks

1) Yes, but then you have to learn post processing and need a bigger HDD to store your images.
2) Yes, whenever possible. But don't be afraid to pump up ISO in lower light situation to keep desired shutter speed or aperture. Newer camera is pretty good with high ISO.
3)There is no such thing. Generally, people use Wide angle lens for landscapes and mid-tele for Portrait. You don't have to get Prime, you can settle for zoom L-lens. They're much better then the kit lens and may fit your requirement better than prime.

Recording videos with QuickTime

Is there any way to record videos other than from a video camera, using QuickTime Player Version 7.1.3? I want to record videos already saved on my computer, but when opening a new recorder it says that no recording device is found. Is there any way to switch to an internal recording device?

QuickTime Pro "New Video Recording" requires a Firewire connected camera.
What you are trying to do is record what plays on your screen:

Recording video with an external microphone

Hi, I have been looking into buying some equipment for location recording and I just wondered if anyone had the answer to a little question that's niggling away at me.
I want to record videos using the Ipod Touch (5th gen) camera but I want to use an external mic rather than the built in mic to record the sound for the video.
I will be using the Apogee Duet plugged into the lightning connection of the Ipod Touch and I just want to know if the Ipod will default to using the Apogee for the sound while I record videos.
If anyone has any experience or just knows a little more about this I would be very grateful for an answer. I just don't want to spend all that money just to discover that I have to record the video and audio seperately.
Thanks

I thought so but I wasn't sure seeing as how the Apogee connects to the lightning connection rather than the headphone jack like some other audio interfaces. On closer look at some other audio interfaces it seems they tend to connect to the 30pin or lightning connection so it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for your help aqu8!

Recording video not from camera

I want to record video into Final Cut to edit from locations outside of my camera, i.e. the internet, DVD player, etc. My camera does not have the function to input video, it can only export it.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks
Matt

Internet video comes in various forms - obviously Quicktime is the friendliest for FCP, and in my experience AVI is the one most likely to have an obscure codec. Two of the best tools I have found for converting weird video from web (and digital security camera) sources is FFMpeg. You'll find it for free, along with others like mp4vdecoder at the apple website under downloads>video. For converting DVDs, the best free tool is Mpeg Streamclip by Squared 5, downloadable from http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/MPEGStreamclip1.9.1.dmg . It has a function to "Export to DV" which has a small idiosyncrasy: even though you can set audio to 48kHz, you still need to render audio (normally a trivial issue.)
Once you have converted the clip to the correct frame size and frame rate, it can be imported into FCP and edited into your project.

Hello Dan:
I thought of trying that after I posted the message. Your
suggestion confirms I wasn't crazy so I'm going to give it a try. I
work for a government agency and we need to record online video of
scam artists trying to rip off people so this is pretty important.
Without the audio, we can't go to court and prove our case.
Thanks,
Robert
