Place marker during capture

I have looked everywhere for an answer to this question, and I am starting to think it is not possible in any way, but I want to be able to place a marker in to a clip while I am capturing it live.
I spend a lot of time on set capturing a live HD feed from cameras. This footage is often required to be played back immediately after a take to check performance etc but we don't want to have to do it off the camera each time so it is captured in to Premiere CS5 on a laptop. In Avid you can set markers during the capture. I want to do this in Premiere so I can cut out all the guff at the head of the take like slating etc and also there is also often multiple repeats of a performance in one take so I want to be able to mark when each performance starts. I can't seem to find a way of doing this.
Any ideas? Is there something turbo comment (on location) for premiere pro?
I would possibly do the capture in on location but very often I need to change the speed of playback to watch what the take is going to look like at other frame rates and on location doesn't seem to be able to play things back with a speed change or in reverse.
If someone knows how to do that in on location then that might also solve my problem.
Thanks

  • Place marker during recording and place back markers

    Hi,
    I will be recording 5 channels of signals at rate of 200 samples/second for 1 hour or so. Meanwhile, I need to put markers for different user interventions. I would like to save in text file for other applications such as MS Excel. What would be a good format for the data file? One way would be keep adding NaN in an extra column and a message when the user enter a message and press a button. But it takes some space for the extra column and don't konw if other applications can read this column correctly. At the same time when the intervention occurs, need to draw a marker on the screen, and when VI is stopped, these markers need to be back-trackable when scrolling back.
    Also, the data file may need a header that keeps track of all interventions in addition to the extra column. At the end, the header needs to join the data record to form the final data file. When playback, theses interventions show markers again on the screen. Also, the data file may need to be appendable.
    Any suggestions and/or examples are appreciated. Thanks,
    Rut

    So you would be talkinga bout 1000 pieces of data per second, x 60 sec/min, x 60/min per hour.  So 3.6 million pieces of data per hour.  Lets say 8 bytes per piece of data (depends on how you want to format the numeric value to a string).  So about 28.8 MB of data for one hour.  That isn't too large.  I would use a text based file format such as comma or tab delimited with CRLF at the end.  You could have 6th column that would either be blank or have the text note.  Excel should be able to open either of these just fine.  It would be a good idea to write the data using a producer/consumer architecture.  Accumulate the data to memory in chunks, and periodically write out the chunks to file.
    I don't understand what you mean by drawing a marker on screen.  Do you mean have some X show up on a waveform graph?  If so you could create a 6th series of data with Nan interlaced with a numeric value such as 1 (no line and an X or other highly visible  data point) or someother value that shows up well on the graph considering the scale of the other values.  There won't be any easy way to associate an X with a text comment  other than displaying the text in a string indicator and picking it out of the array depending on which portion of the data is shown on the graph at that time. 

  • Discard capture during capture

    Hello all,
    I just finish on a broadcast site.
    THese old costumer was using a Dvision editing system. the first one I install 12 year ago...
    On this old D-vision there was an option during capture on the fly. You can stop the capture with discard clip.
    What it does it stop the capture and delete the clip from the browser and the disk directly without to close the capture windows to go in the browser and delete the clip after.
    With FCP you do ESC to stop. Is there an option to do ESC+Alt or ESC+ctrl to stop and discard the clip
    thanks
    Carl

    Hello,
    costumer here was using Edit 4.5 and dvision odl system and the option was there also.
    They use a lot this option because they don't check tape before. So they capture and if it's not the good shot they discard it and continue. Noe the browser is getting full of non use clip you need to delete it before go work...
    Is there a place to post to apple as a feature request ???
    thanks for the answer
    Have a great day

  • Unable to monitor audio during capture

    I'm using FCP6 to capture footage shot with a JVC GY-HD100U at HDV 720p24. I'm using a JVC BR-HD50 deck to capture from, connected to my MacPro 3 GHz quad via firewire.
    In the Audio/Video Setting dialog box, the Sequence Preset is "HDV 720P24". My Capture Preset is "HDV", Device Control Preset "HDV FireWire". Video Playback shows "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)" and offers only the options of None and Digital Cinema Desktop Preview–Main as alternate choices. Both HDV options are greyed out. The Audio Playback option is set to Default.
    With this setup, controlling the deck remotely from the capture window, I get video but no audio. The only audio I get is when the deck is connected to my video monitor and I use it to monitor the output of the deck. The audio is there when I play back the clips after capture but I cannot monitor the sound with the computer's speakers. If I go to the A/V Devices tab, under Video, it shows the same "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480) with the same choices described above, and the Options button next to it doesn't do anything.
    Can anyone think of anything I've missed in the initial setup?

    Keith,
    For whatever reason (perhaps the intense processor needs) HDV does not allow you to monitor your audio during capture. The computer just will not do it. What I have done, if I really want to hear what's happening durning capture, is plug my speakers into the headphone jack of my XL H1. Due to the processing that's going on, the audio "lags" behind the video by a couple of seconds.
    I'm pretty sure this is not a setup problem, but just a limitation due to the nature of your format.
    Hope that helps!

  • Red interference during capture with FCP 5.1.4

    I have FCP version 5.1.4 . I am using OSX 10.6 snow leopard (Macbook Pro). Have captured and edited without any problems. All of a sudden I am getting an interference during capture. This interference comes in the form of a bright red color which suddenly fills half my screen from corner to corner forming a right angled triangle and hiding half of my picture triangularly. it flashes and then remains. Anyone know what the **** this is and how I can rectify it?
    I would be EXTREMELY for any help anyone can give me. Thanks in advance.

    This is happening to me today as well. Has it got something to do with 10.6.7 I have just updated and now I seem to be having the same problem

  • Help Please?  Dropped frames during capture!

    Hello everyone, I am capturing from a mini DV camera to FC Express HD using a fire wire. I've been doing this for a year and all the sudden I'm getting a "dropped frame during capture" message.
    I have read many many discussion boards and tried all of your suggestions...
    Using different camera's, different tapes, different firewire cables. I've uninstalled and reinstalled FC EX HD and Quicktime. I tried turning off my external drives and using the internal drive to capture to and created a FC project within the internal drive. I have plenty of space on all drives.
    Does anyone have any other ideas? Nothing seems to be working. I appriecate your help!!!!!

    maybe you switch off the warn dropped frames during
    capture option... after that watch your clips... is
    there any problem still?
    I'm really worried now. I turned off the "warn dropped frames" option. After capture, when I playback, I get a warning that there are dropped frames, and then picture freezes. Help! I don't know what to do!

  • Dropped Frames During Capture

    FCE HD is dropping frames during capture when I'm taking video from my Canon Video camera and the three DVD players I've been using. Any suggestions or ideas?
    Here's my info:
    - Didn't work for either of these setups:
    - Canon to my iBook G4 via firewire
    - DVD player to DVD converter via RCA cables to ibook via firewire
    - My external Harddrive (LaCie 230 GB) is hooked up to my laptop via USB Drive.
    - Easy setup configured to DV-NTSC or DV-NTSC-DV Converter dpending on capture device
    Thanks in advance for the help

    Hi Lisa,
    Well, for starters you probably have less free space on your internal HD than you did a year ago - rule of thumb is keep at least 15%-20% free space on your drives, especially your system drive; more free space is better. Couple that with the fact that USB really can't keep up with the demands of video and it's easy to get dropped frames.
    There's also the question of what else you've put on your machine since last year, whether or not you updated OSX or QT since then, if you have anything else running when you capture ... there could be lots of factors.
    Have you ever run a maintenance utility on your Mac - eg. MacOSXCocktail, MacJanitor, Onyx, etc ?

  • No sound captured during Capture Now

    First time in many moons using FCP. I'm capturing from a mini DV (Canon Eulura 70) using the Capture Now function. The problem is that it appears that no sound is being captured. I've read other posts about not hearing sound during capture... at the moment I'm using headphones connected to the camera and the sound is fine. I'd prefer to use the computer to monitor the sound but I cannot locate a checkbox anywhere to turn this feature on.
    When I drop the captured clips onto the canvas no corresponding audio file appears in the timeline, and no audio plays during playback. I've checked the clip setting in log/capture and it's set to capture both video and audio. I've checked System Settings, and under Scratch disks it's set to capture video and audio separately. Audio playback in FCP is set to built-in audio. Sound is working fine in all other applications.
    I've tried trashing the preference files but no effect. Also I tried to just capture audio, and as soon as I hit esc, FCP crashes... this is totally repeatable. I also noticed that on the clip setting tab there is a section with a bunch of sliders (7 in all)... don't know what they do, but they are all greyed out.
    Camera works fine in iMovie...
    Message was edited by: Ronald Dans1

    There are no check boxes on that tab, only a pull down list entitled "Capture". The choices are Video and Audio, Video only, Audio only. I have it set to Video and Audio. Perhaps there are checkboxes in another version?

  • No video Preview During Capture

    Here is the scoop:
    Adobe Premeire CS5
    Windows 7 64bit
    Canon XL2
    Capturing DV NOT HDV
    Canon standard device control as there is no preset listed for the XL2
    Video and audio actually captures fine. I can hear audio during capture but cannot see any video.
    I know there is no video preview when capturing HDV but I am capturing DV.
    Again this is CS5 NOT 5.5 so .dll fix is not an option
    Thanks in advance.

    FIXED!
    Heres how it went:
    Went to Device Manager and let windows look for an updated driver for my Graphics Card (Radeon HD 4200). Windows said the most current driver was installed. It was NOT the most current driver. I went out to ATI and got the most current driver, installed, reboot and OH JOY! I get video in the capture window during preview AND during capture (of DV)!
    I also let windows (device manager) look for updated drivers for sound and it said the driver was the most current. Again, it was not. so the moral of the story is...Don't trust Device Manager on current driver versions.
    Hope this will help some folks out there.
    Side Note*
    Most of us spend hours on forums looking for answers/fixes to particular problems. Most replies I see are either in the vein of "I have that problem too" or " try this, it worked in this OTHER version or try this OTHER software" etc. If you dont have an answer/fix for the problem, dont post.
    ON the flip side of that, when posting a problem you want an answer to, Give all the pertinent information in your initial question. " Premiere crashes when I plug up my camera" does NOT suffice! What version of Premiere, what camera, what OS, What kind of connection, etc.

  • Retaining AVI date/time stamp during capture to pre 9.

    I have pre 9. When capturing DV from my camcorder, how do I get pre 9 to add the clips  time and date to the avi file properties like it does for jpg's. What I get is the date I captured it to the computer. If I add "date taken" to the properties shown, it remains blank.
    I realize the time/frame stamp changes throughout the clip but it should be able to show the initial date/time stamp, for example. I sort these travel clips by oldest date first and need to be able to match them to their itinerary locations. I have a small freeware app that will strip the date/time stamp from the meta data and then I can adjust the time/date in "Organizer" but I have 100's of clips so I'd rather not go that way. I know there app's that will encode the date/time stamp visibly on the image during capture but I don't want that as I make DVD's from the clips. Do you have any advice or suggestions? I have Win 7, 64 bit, 3.2 ghz, 2 core. Thanks, Rob.

    Premiere Elements won't do this.
    You'll need a third-party program called DV Date, downloadable from the web.

  • Sound Audible during capturing

    Hi, Suddenly I can hear the audio during capturing, HDV, anyone know how to turn it off?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    you're not alone. I've been having the exact same problem for months. FCP 6, capturing HDV. I can't turn the audio preview off. I can't listen to itunes without hearing what is being captured.
    here's my previous unresolved post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7052428#7052428
    still haven't figured it out. I tried switching to capturing DV, turning the audio Preview on and then off and then switched back to HDV. still no solution. Apparently there are some that wish they had the opposite problem.

  • Video preview during capture CS3

    Video preview during capture is not working even though settings are at preview video and audio during capture.
    The work around seems to be to go ahead record anyway (red button) then it works after I paste the captured audio onto the timeline.
    When pasting it to the timeline the video appears. The video appears during subsequent captures. It seems like a bug in CS3. This was not a problem with PP 1.5
    Thanks

    A few more of
    these details will help us help you.

  • Why can't I Apple+H hide Final Cut during capture anymore?

    I used to love hiding the big screen while it was capturing footage and I could get on with other stuff and see my desktop!
    For some reason it doesn't hide anymore?
    Anyone know about this?

    Now, there is a problem though, now Apple-H doesn't hide it! I just don't understand why this would happen all of a sudden? I can live with it but I preferred hiding Final Cut so I can see my desktop.
    Alex
    Hi Alex, very interesting. What version is your OS? Did this happen after an update to the OS? I can certainly understand your frustration when a function all of a sudden doesn't work as it use to, especially when it's a function that is suppose to work.
    Personally I don't do too many other tasks while capturing, but I will often switch over to check my email or something not very demanding upon my system. Yet, I have at times run some pretty heavy applications without any problems with my capture. So, I suppose it has a lot to do with installed memory and your processing power + fast drives. In any case, I understand what your asking here and will be anxious to see what other solutions you are offered.

  • File manager crash during capture

    Using the latest version, I am getting consistent crash during capture of the file manager. Using an IBM T61P that has a 7200rpm drive. If I do frequent saves during capture I don't loose the work before the next crash. I hope I don't have to use an external drive to make this problem go away.
    Any ideas out there?

    Dennis already said it, but a single disk is not enough. Minimum requirements are a DEDICATED 7200 RPM (e)SATA disk for capturing. Add to that the fact that your system is dead slow (at least 50 times slower than a fast system) and that one should not do anything else during capturing, and that the system may not be tuned at all for editing and disaster is waiting to strike.
    Have a look here: Adobe Forums: Guide for installing and tuning a Vista... which also applies to Win7, for a band-aid. It will not solve the issue of an extremely slow CPU, possibly integrated Intel graphics, which should be avoided at all times, shared memory, which is another no-go and the lacking disk setup.

  • How can I turn OFF audio monitoring during capture from tape?

    FCP has a very useful check box that allows you to turn off audio monitoring during capture, so you can listen to other things whilst the batch captures.  Is there any way to do this in PP?  If not, how can I make a feature request?
    I'm using PP CS6.
    Thanks for any help.
    Dominic

    The only other solution I can offer is to go to "edit" "preferences" then select "playback". Under playback set the default audio device to your capturing device instead of the adobe desktop audio. This will allow you capture but not have to listen to whats being captured. However once it's done capturing you'll have to set it back to adobe desktop audio otherwise you can't hear what you're editing in your timeline.
    Other than that I'm out of ideas sorry.
