Problem with Video Capture, and question towards solution

Yesterday I worked on a commercial for which we captured 9 clips (roughly 10 seconds or shorter in length). The clips all had text/titles superimposed on them by an outside machine and looked good in the monitors when they were exported and captured into FCP (ie: none of the text was chopped off).
I edited the commercial and then was exporting it out, only to discover that the text on the bottom of the clips was getting chopped off.
My first question is this: is there some setting in the capture process that could have done this? something that might have gotten tweaked accidently, or corrupted in some manner? Didn't have this problem with footage captured the previous day. And since it looked good before it was put into FCP, thinking it had to be a problem with FCP.
Also, in trying to tweak the footage in FCP, I came across a 'there must be an easier way to do it' question. Is there a way to alter parameters on multiple clips (such as raising them, like I had to)? I tried selecting all and double clicking, hoping that the changes I made would affect them all, but it only affected the one I directly clicked. I'm sure there's something simple (and obvious) that I'm overlooking...
thanks!

For how and why this could have happened, would you mind sharing your capture and sequence settings?
As far as applying parameters to multiple clips, I think you can make use of the Paste Attributes function in FCP...
Alter one of your problematic clips
Select that clip in the Timeline, then press Command-C (or control-click and choose Copy from the contextual menu)
Select the remainder of your problematic clips
With your clips selected press Option-V (or control-click on one of them and select Paste Attributes from the contextual menu) to bring up the Paste Attributes dialog
Select Basic Motion - under the Video options, on your left-hand side - then click OK
(Basic Motion because, if I understand your solution correctly, you altered the Center property - either in the Motion tab of the Viewer or manually in the Canvas - of your clips. You nudged them all up a bit, right? If you did, then that would fall under the Basic Motion attribute.)
All your selected clips should be nudged up appropriately.
But, again, I'm making a bit of leap since I'm not entirely sure what caused your issue in the first place.

Problem with video capture and transmission

Hello..
I have written an application to capture video using a webcam and transmit it using RTP URL..It did work..
When the user wishes to stop capturing i would stop the processor and deallocate it.. If the user wishes to start capturing again i would just start the capturing process once again(using the same procedure i followed the first time)..
When i do this i get an exception stating:
The capture device is already in use..
Cannot create the RTP Session: Can't open local data port: 5000
(Note: I used the same port for transmission for the first time)
Is there anything that is needed to be done to release a device and port at the end of the program..
Thanks in advance!!

Thanks.. The problem was solved when i closed the processor and its data sources..
One more doubt.. Isnt it possible to transmit and receive Images through RTP..
When i try to create a Processor for and image located in my system "E:\image.jpg" i get an exception like :
Cant create Processor for "E:\image.jpg"..
Thanks for the reply!!!

Problem with video capture device, with a virtual camera

I try to use Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3 with a virtual camera(DirectShow Filter) but met such a problem:
"Error connecting input preview RGB filter."
"Failed with error 80004005:SetupInputVideoPreview(pFilter, pguidCategory)"
"Failed with error ffffff97:SetupVideoPreview(pFilterSource)"
"Problem with video capture device. Please verify that the video capture device is working correctly and is not already in use."
However, it is good to use AMCap,
what's the problem with FMLE.
Looking forward to your replies. Thx!

Did you ever figure out the problem/solution?
I am experiencing the same thing with my virtual camera filter when connecting to FME?

Problem with Video capture Device

i have a problem with FME. i am using Avermedia TV capture
device and Canon 3ccd Digital Video Camcorder ( PAL ) when i open
the FME interface the warning given for " Problem with Video
Capture Device".
i read all the topics in Flash Media Encoder Category, if
this problem occures my capture device ( i expect MPEG ) how to
solve this problem?
Thanks,

The Device Matrix is something we'll be updating in the
future as we continue to test more and more equipement. Ideally, I
would like for users such as yourselves to be able to add to it and
tell us what has worked for you as well. If anyone has any ideas
about what technology we should use to do this (e.g., this forum? a
wiki?) please let me know.
Regarding the devices not working - the main problem we see
is that the system requirements are not being met. Here is what to
check for:
- are you running on Windows XP (only supported OS right
now)?
- do you have DirectX client runtime version 9c or higher
installed?
- do you have hardware acceleration enabled?
- do you have 32bit graphics enabled?
- do you have the latest direct show drivers from the
card/device manufacturer?
Thanks,

Flash Media Encoder 2.5 working without any errors

The second message that you are getting "The selected audio device "Beholder Aud Capture (SAA7135)" doesn't allow setting volume intensity. Disabling the volume slider control." is because your device does not let you change intensity of volume. This warning message is just to tell user that volume slider will remain disabled for the selecetd device. This is new addition in FMLE 3.0 and was not there in FMLE 2.5
Also for first message, please make sure that no other instance of FMLE is already running using this device. You can verify this from task manager. If any other instance of FMLE is running then please close that instance so that device gets free for new instance.

1..This is the code which we used for capturing and saving video in the disk..But we got a mov file created zero size..what is the reason for that..Can any one suggest a better way for this..
2..Is Creative Webcam II supported by JMF 2.1 ..
3..Suggest any other format for audio and video capturing and saving..
Thanks in advance..

Thanks T.B.M..
It worked..My webcam details are as follows:
{color:#ff6600}Name = vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0
Locator = vfw://0
{color}
It suports the following formats..
{color:#ff6600}
0. javax.media.format.RGBFormat
RGB, 320x240, Length=230400, 24-bit, Masks=3:2:1, PixelStride=3, LineStride=960, Flipped
1. javax.media.format.RGBFormat
RGB, 160x120, Length=57600, 24-bit, Masks=3:2:1, PixelStride=3, LineStride=480, Flipped
2. javax.media.format.RGBFormat
RGB, 176x144, Length=76032, 24-bit, Masks=3:2:1, PixelStride=3, LineStride=528, Flipped
3. javax.media.format.RGBFormat
RGB, 352x288, Length=304128, 24-bit, Masks=3:2:1, PixelStride=3, LineStride=1056, Flipped
4. javax.media.format.RGBFormat
RGB, 640x480, Length=921600, 24-bit, Masks=3:2:1, PixelStride=3, LineStride=1920, Flipped
{color}
So made the following changes in my code..
dl=CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(new VideoFormat(VideoFormat.{color:#ff6600}RGB{color}));
ml=((CaptureDeviceInfo)dl.firstElement()).getLocator();
formats=new VideoFormat(VideoFormat.RGB);
model = new ProcessorModel(ml,new Format[]{formats}, new FileTypeDescriptor(FileTypeDescriptor.{color:#ff6600}MSVIDEO{color}));
p=Manager.createRealizedProcessor(model);
source=p.getDataOutput();
sink = Manager.createDataSink(source, new MediaLocator("file:///c:/Adiyae.{color:#ff6600}avi{color}"));
p.addControllerListener(this);
p.realize();
Now the file is getting created with its size depending upon how long i capture..This is fine..But when i try to play the file using a media player it doesnt open.. when i tried opening it with JMStudio i get the following message..
{color:#ff6600}Controller Error:
Failed to realize:Failed to parse the input media..
{color}Also can you tell me how to choose the FileTypeDescriptors for a particular video format.. The only FileTypeDescriptor that works with mine is the MSVIDEO..
Thanks in advance..

Problem with video cards and posterization effect

Hello everyone,
I have problem with posterization effect in Lightroom 4.4 and 5.
When monitor uses integrated video card (Radeon HD 4300) everything is ok. But when I plug in other video card (tested on GeForce GT630 and Radeon HD 7770) I have posterization effect in shadows in every Lightroom module. When picture is exported to jpg then everything is ok. Here is screenshot with NEF in Lightroom and jpg in IrfanView: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yftnnk6w1guii70/Lightroom_problem.png . Of course with colour images I have the same problem. Anyone have an idea what can I do? I have installed the newest drivers for video cards but it didn't help.

For how and why this could have happened, would you mind sharing your capture and sequence settings?
As far as applying parameters to multiple clips, I think you can make use of the Paste Attributes function in FCP...
Alter one of your problematic clips
Select that clip in the Timeline, then press Command-C (or control-click and choose Copy from the contextual menu)
Select the remainder of your problematic clips
With your clips selected press Option-V (or control-click on one of them and select Paste Attributes from the contextual menu) to bring up the Paste Attributes dialog
Select Basic Motion - under the Video options, on your left-hand side - then click OK

All your selected clips should be nudged up appropriately.

[T410] discrete gfx - Problem with Video Card and Windows Aero -anyone using 4Gb memory modules?

[3/3/2010 Update]
There's a issue of using 4Gb sticks on T410 currently that results in video output artifacts and aero interface problems when using Lenovo supplied drivers v8.16.11.8825. I think I can call it confirmed (Three people including me face this issue).
Possible workaround is to install modified EliteBook 8440p video driver (read along this thread) comes with a BIG drawback of not being able to change brightness level within Windows 7. To sweeten it a little bit - you can set luminance level at POST screen, when computer boots up.
[Original Message]
Encountered strange behavoir of my T410.
I have a T410 with 256Mb of Video Memory and 1440x900 display, a T61 with 128Mb of Video Memory and 1400x1050 dsplay and external monitor HP w2338h with 1920x1080 resolution.
If I connect external monitor to my T410 and launch Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 - image blinks and comes back with Aero disabled. Looking through event logs reveals the lack of memory. Entry information can be found further.
Now If I do the same with my old Thinkpad T61, connect the same monitor using the same cable - I can open as many Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 instances I like (tried 5) and nothing blinks and Aero stays enabled.
Actually I find ridiculous, a notebook with more VRAM cannot archive the same performance as notebooks with less.
Does anyone know what path should I pursue to solve this issue?
UPDATE: Simply running multiple instances of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 without external monitor causes Aero disabled as well.

Stratosphere- Problem with Screen Capture and Group Text Reply

I have a problem with the side button that locks/unlocks the phone. I don't know why it happens but sometimes when I press the side button to lock the phone it takes a screen shot and send its to my Gallery under the folder ScreenCapture. I can't figure out why it does this sometimes, and when i want to actually take a screen shot I cant.
Anyone know how exactly you can take a screen shot?
Another question i have is with Group Texts. Is there a way to reply all when I receive a text that was sent to multiple people or can I only reply to the sender?
Hope someone can help thanks!

Hello kfeatherstone! I can provide you with instructions for taking a screenshot:
1. Press both the Power and Home buttons briefly.
2. You should hear a “click” sound and the screen will say “Screen captured. Saved as image file
In regards to your messaging, "reply to all" is not an available option. I hope this information helps!

Two problems with video: Import and gamma

I downloaded and tried LR4 today and found the new adjustment features quite impressive. I was also very eager to try the new video facilities. Woudl have loved to...
Running on iMAC with Lion, pictures and video from a Pentax K5. Video is full HD @25fps. Never had any problems in LR3.6 with importing or cataloging my videos.
When I tried to import already downloaded photos and videos two things happend:
First, some of the videos are not in their "correct" position in grid view, while others are correct. In finder date and filename are correct.
Second and more complicated, videos are completely off in colors and play with interruptions. I attached of few screen shots of what it looks like in LR3.6 and LR4.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joachim
p.s. just tried direct import from camera, with the same effect, at least regarding colors and slow video replay.

Message was edited by: Jo Stretz

Thanks,
did not get a PM yet. After trying with several other sources I finally found the "mistake" after installing and trying LR4 on my MBP. The reason for the color shift is that I switched on the development preset Auto tone, which for video gives this crazy results. Other presets work just fine, even giving a warning that some of the adjustments might not apply in video. Auto Tone and the video is off.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Joachim

Problem with video capture with Blackmagic Intensity Pro card

I have just installed a blackmagic Intensity Pro card to download analogue VCR tapes to DVD. I have set all the input parameters to the Blackmagic card in both Premiere and the input routine for the card. I am using the breakout cable for NTSC input with the green Y input for the video and the L & R audio inputs. When I try to capture I get snow in the premiere capture window, but it does record the L & R audio. When I stop the tape deck I momentarily get the blue screen with STOP showing and then back to snow. I am hoping it is just a setting somewhere but where????
The computer is running Vista 32 home premium with 3G ram
Comments very welcome

Is there a BlackMagic setting required to tell the driver to see the green as composite rather than component?

Problem with video senders and On Demand

I'm a new member although I have had BT Vision for 6 months now. So far I have been very pleased with it but I have a problem at the moment which I am hoping someone will help me resolve.
I recently bought a Nikkai 5.8 GHz sender kit which works perfectly with Freeview channels. I have a great picture and sound but when I switch to watching On Demand I can have a great picture for a couple of minutes and then I get a blue screen and a bit of stuttering of the picture then the picture goes ok again. No amount of repositioning the receiver cures this and I'm baffled as to why I have stability with the Freeview but not the ON Demand.
I know that I should be able to get the sender kit working fine with the On Demand as I previously used a Ferguson 2.4 GHz and had no problems at all except for the interference when using the laptop. The On Demand would work fine right through the evening.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, is there a way round it? Any suggestions/advice welcome.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Macrovision copy protection signal is present on both of the SCART outputs, and is activated whenever copy protected content is viewed.
This copy protection will interfere with the extraction on the synchronisation signals that your video sender needs, and cause loss of sync.
The Ferguson video sender may simply have ignored the copy protection if it was a few years old.
Most modern video equipment is designed not to work if copy protected content is present. Pressure on the manufacturers by copyright holders see to this.

Apple TV problem with video artifacts and pixel color changes

I noticed that in the most recent software update on my Apple TV there is quite a bit of pixel noise on the screen. In dark colors of the picture they really show up, bright green and white dots appear...random pixels that I thought at first my plasma was going, but I paused a movie the other night on my Apple TV and the Pixels also Paused, so I know it's the Apple TV and it does not occur on any other programming inputs. It was fine till the last Software update so I am thinking something is wrong with that update.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Video should work regardless of the wifi card you are using. Whay exactly is happening when you say video won't work.
