No external video from HDV timeline through Sony HDV deck.

Without buying an external video card, is there a way to view an HDV timeline on an external monitor? I can capture HDV footage easily and see it play back fine in the Canvas on my Mac Pro, but I can't see the captured HDV footage on my external monitor that's hooked up via FireWire to my Sony HVR-M25 deck.
Here are the Audio/Video Settings I'm using:
Sequence Preset is HDV - 1080i60
Capture Preset is HDV
Device Control Preset os Sony HDV Firewire
I'm also noticing that the Video Playback HDV options are grayed out, so I'm assuming I would either need an external video card to play back the capture HDV footage the timeline on my external monitor, or use another combination of codecs to (maybe) use my stock Mac Pro setup. Whew.
Thanks in advance.

No. Sorry, but the format doesn't allow it. You can send a downconverted SD signal out via firewire in realtime, but it won't be your full HD image. If you want the full HD image, you need an HD capture device. #25 HDV external Monitor Viewing
Shane's Stock Answer #25 - HDV external Monitor Viewing
To view HDV on an external monitor in high definition you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink (www.decklink.com) or AJA (www.aja.com) offer. They will both play out HDV in real time. The catch is that you cannot view this on a regular TV or NTSC monitor. Since this is HD, an HD monitor will be needed. HOWEVER, both cards are capable of down converting the signal so that it can be displayed on an SD monitor. This won't be color accurate
The real reason why you can't monitor HDV through a Firewire camera is because Firewire HDV cameras don't decode incoming HDV streams and route them to their outputs like DV cameras do.
Good options for you are the Matrox MXO2 mini...$450...coupled with an HDTV. Or a Matrox MXO (DVI connection) coupled with an Apple 23" display gets you good quality.
And there are the Decklink Intensity and Intensity PRO cards as well, and the AJA I/O Express...
You can, however, view HDV out via firewire as DV...lowering the resolution to that of DV, but still viewable. This is not full quality nor should it be used to judge the quality of your footage or used to color correct to. This is just a way to view the footage on a large monitor.
Here are some examples of some of the possibilities:
- DV or HDV sequence output to an SDI signal on a third-party interface
- An uncompressed NTSC or PAL sequence output to a DV FireWire output
- An HDV sequence output to a DV FireWire output
Sequence and output formats must have compatible frame rates. For example,
sequences with a frame rate of 60, 30, or 24 fps can be output to a 30 fps device,
but not to a 25 or 50 fps device.

Can I directly upload video from my HDR-SR11 SONY to Premiere Pro???

thank you Shoot. I was afraid that the n word would answer that querie. OK. Please recommend a FREE software that I can use to import on to the hard drive that is reliable and w/out error messages e.g. "Browser will close" as in sonys PMH a new replacement for PMB that fails horribly. I uninstalled and installed the Sony PMH four or five times w/Sony "Techs" [I you want to call them that]. And they admitted that the software has problems. The final solution from the "tech" on the phone was that to just keep on uninstalling and install until it worked. Wow! That coming from Sony the electronics Giant.

I canon play video from my ipad through my Apple TV after downloading ios7 any idea why?

Is there any reason I can't play video from my ipad through Apple TV after downloading ios7?

Home sharing isn't working either
Which is why you can not use the remote app. Did you turn on home sharing on your computer and on ATV?
eve though they have the same Apple ID.
Did you enter the ApplieID in the home sharing login though? Or just in for the iTunes store, or iCloud, or photo sharing, or something else?
Home sharing isn't working either, I can't play or transmit any video from my iPad to the Apple TV because it doesn't recognize it
That would be AirPlay, not homesharing. THey are not related. Did you enable air play on all the devices?
Have you run the network test tools on ATV? Can ATV access the iTunes store, Netflix, etc?

Controlling multiple external swfs from main timeline

Hi, I've been trying to combine the features of two tutorials I found, one that deals with controlling external swf's from the main timeline and the other that explains how to load and unload multiple external swf's. I'd like to be able to load and unload multiple external swf's, and control these swf's buttons from the main timeline.
I asked this same question on the forum of the site where I found these tutorials, and receive only one reply saying that "it should'nt be hard to do." but they did not elaborate any further. This left me think that I was missing something very obvious and I've spent too much time now trying to work what it is now. I understand pretty much how both pieces of code work, but just can't work out how to combine them.
If someone could explain it to me, I'd much appreciate it.
Tutorial One code - controlling an external swf from the main timeline.
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/balls.swf");
ldr.load(urlReq);
function loadHandler (event:Event) {
var myClip:MovieClip = event.target.content;
addChild(myClip);
function myClipOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
myClip.myBlueBalls.stop();
function myClipOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
myClip.myBlueBalls.play();
// set listeners
myClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myClipOver);
myClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myClipOut);
// listener
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadHandler);
Tutorial Two code - loading and unloading multiple external swfs.
var Xpos:Number = 110;
var Ypos:Number = 180;
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/eyesClosed.swf");
loader.load(defaultSWF);
loader.x = Xpos;
loader.y = Ypos;
addChild(loader);
// Btns Universal function
function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
removeChild(loader);
var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/" + event.target.name + ".swf");
loader.load(newSWFRequest);
loader.x = Xpos;
    loader.y = Ypos;
addChild(loader);
// Btn listeners
eyesClosed.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
stingray.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
demon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);
strongman.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClick);

I will not be able to help you with whatever relaxatraja provided though it is purported by relaxatraja to be clearly explaining what I was explaining (???).
Your loadHandler function appears a bit confused. For the code you show I don't see you assigning any event listeners for the events that will be dispatched in the loaded file. As I showed earlier, your loadHandler function should be assigning a listener for the event that will be dispatched (modified slightly below). and if you have three different events being dispatched in the loaded file, then you'll do better to have three different listeners. I show only one below for one of the events you dispatch...
function loadHandler (event:Event) {
// assign a listener for the loaded file's goExit function's event
   MovieClip(event.currentTarget.content).addEventListener("close", event1Handler);
// I can't make sense of what you have here
    removeChild(myClip); // why ?? - it hasn't been added yet as far as I can see - error 2007?
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/" + event.target.name + ".swf"); // the event.target is the Loader
    ldr.load(newSWFRequest); // this will load over the file you just finished loading??
    ldr.x = Xpos;
    ldr.y = Ypos;
    addChild(myClip); // why?? it has nothing in it
function event1Handler(e:Event):void {
    // do whatever is involved with what the "close" event is supposed to do
    trace("goExit function executed");
As far as what you have in the loaded file, you appear to be trying to pass the files names as if they were parameters. The file naming should be done at the receiving side for the event handler function for the event listener. While you could create a custom event that include parameters that you can pass, that's another level of coding that is better left for a future experience.
Study the following - understand it before you try to use it.
Below is a link to some files I made for another posting that demonstrates what I have been explaining. The neurope file is the main file. Publish the netherlands file so that you have an swf to load for it, and then run the neurope file. The file that gets loaded (netherlands) only has a button in it that when clicked dispatches an event for which the main file (neurope) has assigned a listener. The main file displays a message when the button gets clicked in the loaded file.

Can I transmit a region 1 video from my PC through my Apple TV to my TV?

Can I transmit a region 1 dvd from my Pc through Itunes and Apple Tv to my TV (being region 2 my dvd player cannot take it) If this is possible how do I do it?

If you have a PC then your only option is to RIP it to a file format that iTunes can play and add it to iTunes. ATV can then play it.

Playing video from an iPad through a car tv screen

I connected my I pad to the tv in my Toyota van with video aux cables but the screen still says "no input". How can I project videos from my iPad on the car tv screen? Is there an app that I need? I have a 600 mile drive with 2 toddlers this weekend and need a solution quick!

original ipad reply:
if you are using the composite video adapter from the ipad to the car's monitor, and if this is actually supported
in the toyota van, it might just because the individual apps need the video output adapter enabled, and until you
run a program, like the video player and actually play something, a no video input message is the correct behavior
ipad 2 reply
this should work i dont know why its not displaying on the toyota van, maybe you shoud ask your dealer for advice

Importing Video from Video from GV-DV1000 NTSC Sony VTR - Image and Audio out of sinchronization

Hi, I´m using Final Cut Express 10.1.1. and to import video, the Sony GV-DV1000 NTSC. My Operating System is Maverick 10.9.2
When I import a Video, the audio and video is sinchronized but when I start to edit, video and audio are not sinchronized.
The connection from the VTR to the iMac is thru a firewire cable to a thunderbilt cable. There is a way to avoid this problem?
Thanks for your prompt response,
Sincerely,
Alberto Quiros Bonett

We have heard of some capture issues with DV and HDV.
Most users get some success by capturing with QuickTime X.
Try a test.

Playing sound from Mac Mini through Sony TV

Hi all,
I want to use my 2005 mac mini as a system to just play movies throught my Sony Bravia TV.
The images/ video plays fine but no matter what I do there is no sound. I have tried 2 phono cables from the mac's headphone jack connected to the right ports on the TV but I still can't get sound. I have checked that the volume is up on the mac and TV.
I can't change the setting on the Mac - when I go to the sound menu it automatically shows in the output tab Name = headphones, Type = built-in speakers. There are no other options and I can't change it. the only thing the Apple store could advise me to do was to click on the sound symbol on the desktop while holding down the Option key but I don't get the options that are supposed to come up, maybe because my mini is too old. I have tried all the sound settings available on the TV but still no sound.
Is there anything I can do to get it working? Any help would be great.
Braininabucket

Not sure exactlly which model mini you have? > How to identify Mac mini models
But audio is not supported out of the DVI or Mini DVI ports.
Unless you have a newer model with an HDMI port you will have to use a 3.5mm audio cable from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV.
Depending on the TVs audio input (3.5mm or RCA) you will need a long enough cable to reach the TV using either:
a > Amazon.com: 3.5mm Stereo Male To Male Cable 12 ft.: Electronics
or > Amazon.com: RiteAV - 3.5mm to RCA Stereo Female Cable - 6 inch: Electronics and RCA cables.

What does the Handy Cam manual say about importing video into a Mac?
The normal method is connect the camera to the Mac and import into iMovie. If it is capable, the import interface will show up when you connect the camera.

I cannot play videos from my iPad through Apple TV, but there is audio?

My ATV will not play videos over airplay, but will play audio. It never used to be like this until recent upgrades.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What exactly are you playing, some providers block AirPlay using their content.

No video from timeline?

This is a new one for me. When I try to play video from the timeline all I get is the audio until I stop the play and then the still video frame will show on my ntsc monitor. If I play the clip from the viewer it plays back fine. I created a new project and get the same thing. What is odd is it worked fine yesterday.
I have not done any upgrades or changed any settings. Ideas? I have several projects open that all worked fine before and now don't.

Check your "External Video" setting under the "View"
menu. It should be set to "All Frames."
IT IS
If it is, try
choosing "Refresh A/V Devices," (also under the View
menu) then go back in the menu and again make sure
"All Frames" is checked.
I DID
If that's still no good, check your Playbakc Output
setting under the A/V Devices tab in the Audio Video
Settings dialogue under the Final Cut Pro menu. Make
sure it's set to what it should be (which I can't
tell you because I don't have enough infor from your
post).
I checked my AV Devices TAB
My output is Apple firewire NTSC, mirror on desktop
These are just a few things to get you started. If
none of that works, post back with more information
about your sequence settings and your playback
devices, etc.

What are the correct setup and system settings for importing HDV video from tape?

I keep trying different "easy setups" and system settings/preferences in order to import both the audio and video from HDV recordings on miniDV tape to no avail in either FCE4 or FCP5. I import via firewire from the camera. My computer "sees" the camera and controls playback (I can hear the audio) but no video displays for capture (just color bars).
My camera is a Canon Vixia HV40 and my computer is a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I've tried the HDV easy setup...no video...
I've tried HDV 1080i/60 as I saw recommended somewhere else...no video...
Captures standard video just fine but I'd like to try editing some higher def footage.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.

The combination of all these helpful ideas solved the problem.
I set AV settings to HD and Apple Intermediate Codec HDV 1080i/60 AND set the cameras output to "locked" HDV. Funny, it had been on "A" (Auto) before and should have simply sensed the need for HD output. I then tried to capture using "A" again and this time it detected the difference between SD footage and HDV footage (I had clips of both kinds on the same tape).
I ran similar capture tests on FCP 5.1, FCE 4, and FCPX and all three programs captured HDV video and audio.
Thanks again everyone. Be sure the camera is set to output HDV or "A".

Unable to properly capture HD video from miniDV tape in FCE

unable to capture HD video from miniDV tape
When I connect my Sony HDR-HC3 miniDV HDV camcorder to my iMac via firewire cable and use Final Cut Express to capture the video from the tape, I do not get a Capture window that allows me to specify in and out points, I just get a playback window that immediately starts capturing and the only option I have in this window is hit ESC to stop capturing. If I let this capture window continue to capture the video from the camera with miniDV HD tape, then the entire tape would be captured as one massive single video clip.
QUESTION: Is there something I change or do to make the proper capture window appear where I can specify in and out points to capture from tape for each clip?
NOTE: using same camera and tape with iMovie with automatic capture enabled, all the clips get captured properly. I also tried to use the manual setting in iMovie and it worked too.
More details(read only if you want more information)
I have a several miniDV tapes containing HD video created on a Sony Sony HDR-HC5 and Sony HDR-HC7. Unfortunately, both these camera were stolen, and I have since moved to a camera that uses flash memory, not tape. However, I need to get the video footage off these tapes, so I bought a used Sony HDR-HC3, it plays the HD miniDV tapes just fine and iMovie reads the video from this camera just fine, but Final Cut Express does not.
When I setup Final Cut Express, I used the Easy Setup and specified:
Format: HD
Rate: 29.97 fps
Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60
These setting match those of the camera and recorded tape. If I use any other settings but these, then Final Cut Express never sees the camera and never opens any capture window at all. Using Quicktime 10 movie inspector on the clips captured by iMovie from same camera, all the clips match this setting too.
Final Cut Express version 4.0.1
iMovie 09 Version 8.0.2 (821)
iMac 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 running
Mac OS X Version 10.6.4
My Final Cut Express scratch disk is a Seagate 2TB external USB 2.0 Hard Drive that has been formatted to be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This external disk is also where iMovie successfully captured all the video from the same camera.

Thanks for the answer. It makes me sad. I thought using Final Cut Express would be an upgrade to a more robust editing system from iMovie, yet iMovie does a superior job of logging and capturing video from HDV video on miniDV tape in comparison to FCE. Not only does iMovie capture each clip on the tape into it's own video file automatically, it also includes timestamp information in the filename indicating when the clip was originally recorded, which appears to be something that is missing from Final Cut Express. Now I realize that HDV miniDV cameras had a relatively short life span in the consumer marketplace and have since all been replaced by flash and hard drive based AVCHD cameras, but from circa 2004 to 2007, miniDV HDV camcorders were very popular and I am sure there are lots of consumers that must be super frustrated by Final Cut Express limited ability to log and capture clips properly from these cameras.
Assuming I do not want to make a rough cut of video in iMovie and prefer to begin my editing project in Final Cut Express (not doing XML export of iMovie project), I need to determine the best way to get clips captured via iMovie into Final Cut Express and determine if there is anything inferior in the iMovie captured clips that I need to be aware of. So far it appears that both iMovie and Final Cut Express reduce the 5.1 surround sound captured on the HDV miniDV tapes to stereo sound, which is not a big lose given the 5.1 sound was recorded from camera's built-in microphone, but it makes me wonder if the video is reduced in any way by the iMovie import process, examining the video in quicktime's inspector window the video appears to be the same in both iMovie and FCE, but I'll research the answers to these questions elsewhere on this forum and post additional questions if I do not find the information I need.
