Only if you bring your music into After Effects, add audio to keyframes, then use an expression to drive the Kaleidoscope effect and render your movie, then play the movie at your event.
After Effects, and all video apps like Premiere Pro, Vegas, Final Cut... are designed to make movies. To do things live you need hardware and software that emulates a Video Switcher, not an editing or compositing app.

I got this by going to adobe.com, searching for Photoshop Phone Support, and following the prompts. (I've never used it, so I have no idea whether it's any good.)
Good luck.

I'm creating live video effects using a midi controller

I am creating live video effects using a midi controller on a mcabook.The final destination for the video content is an ipad app which uses the built in iPad camera to capture video. I want to "trick" the ipad into "filming" the video from the macbook with the effects. Does anyone have any ideas - software orhardware solutions are all viable. The ipad accepts audio through an Alesis iODock. I really be looking for a software solution which will over ride the built in camera on the ipad and accept a feed from the Macbook.

You can't override the physical camera and substitute the macbook camera.
You could find an app or write one that would have the macbook stream the video over wifi from the macbook to the iPad.

Real live bugs in my monitor

I thought I was seeing things, but I got my daughter to confirm it. I currently have a real live bug in my monitor! Yes, a thunder fly on the inside of the glass - a tiny insect crawling around INSIDE THE COMPUTER.
I can only see it against a white background and it does not move with the window when I drag the window around the display. It is definitely live and moving. I kid you not.
What I want to know is - will it do any harm? If so, how can I get rid of it?

HI,
One would think it would die of natural causes considering no access to food and water.
Doubt it will do any harm.
thunder fly
I can't pass this up. Similar to a "lightning bug"?

Real Live person?

I have several questions but my main one is this:
I purchased CS5 several years ago for my MacBook Pro and iMac. My MacBook Pro has been replaced with a new one (it was 4 years old). Am I able to use the CS5 still? I have the original packaging and serial numbers, just want to know if I can transfer the creative suite from my old computer to my new.
I would LOVE to talk with a real live person about this and several other questions....is forum my only option?

The forum is likely your only hope for getting real live people (yes, we are real and live) to talk to you though you can always try chat or telephone. YOur product is likely to be hailed as no longer being supported by those resources though.
You can install the software on the new machine and use your serial number to activate it. You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you like you can retain the original machine as a backup. If not, then you can just open one of the applications and choose Help -> Deactivate to free up the activation for other use sometime. Do not try to transfer from one machine to the other, it will not work - you need to install.

Live Type "effects" not present

I've periodically loaded and unloaded the (2) Live type Media discs when my laptop has been low on space. Never had the problem about to describe before.
I have my hard drive partioned into two drives: The hard drive and a Videostore (where I keep my Final Cut Pro media). I also usually load the Live Type Media on that drive.
This time, all the Livefonts, Fonts, Textures and Objects media shows up when I open LIVETYPE...but the "effects" do not.
I've re-installed the discs several times.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I copied the appropriate files off of another computer that had the effects on them, and they correctly came up on the computer i was attempting to load them on.

How to install missing kaleidoscope effect

I'm trying to edit a Final Cut project created by a friend who has the same version of FCStudio that I do: 5.1.4
I copied the project and media files onto my computer, but when I try to render it I get the message:
"The following effects could not be loaded:
Kaleidoscope
Membrane
These effects will not be applied. Please install the appropriate effects and re-open the project."
I took a look at the FCP install instructions on the install disk, and there was a custom install, but it didn't appear to offer selections of effect groups, just the whole FCP or not.
The only difference between my install and that of my friend that jumps out at me is that she installed Motion and I didn't. Would FCP effects be installed with Motion?
Otherwise, how do I "install the appropriate effects?"

"Would FCP effects be installed with Motion?"
Kaleidoscope and Membrane are FXPlug Plugins installed with Motion.
FCP 5.1.2-5.1.4 has access to Motion's FXPlug Plugins.
If you didn't install Motion, you will be missing the Kaleidoscope FX plugin (which is found in the FCP Effects "Tiling" folder) and Membrane FX plugin (which is found in the FCP Effects "Render" folder) as well as the following FXPlug Plugins:
Directional Blur
Prism
Soft Focus
Channel Swap
Insect Eye
Refraction
Stripes
Target
Twirl
Light Rays
Overdrive
Color Reduce
Gradient Colorize
HSV Adjust
Threshold
Matte Magic
Color Emboss
Extrude
Indent
Lens Flare
Line Art
Noise Dissolve
Slit Scan
Slit Tunnel
Vectorize Color
Vignette
Kaleidoscope
Random Tile
Time Scrub
Time Strobe
Time Trails
Color Solid
Cellular
Clouds
Membrane
Noise
Swirly
But you say you can't install motion:
"which I can't do on my computer because of the video card"
Then you are out of luck, sorry.
But if you did have an approved card and you wish to install Motion now to get these effects, you need to follow these instructions from Apple.

Using MainStage/Logic live as effects/processor for multiple audio inputs in PA application

I have a Mackie Onyx desk with firewire and Mackie control surface that I use for recording. Could I use either Logic or MainStage in a live application with the Mackie as audio input/output but using Logic processor/fx inserts on each audio channel?
Effectively using the software to replicate digital mixing desk processing
I can use either my iMac or Macbook pro
Has anybody done this (I'm sure you have), good points/bad points "don't even think of it!" comments appreciated
Thanks
Tim
BTW, now using Mavericks OS but haven't updated my signature :-)

should work fine. Hopefully your machine can handle low-latency (like a 128 setting in the audio prefs). The lower the better, but you don't want to over-stress your machine, so experiment with those settings.

FMS in the real live ?

Hi there,
I read a lot of good writings about FMS3. I must say i am
very interested to use it for a consumer website.
However, i must say i found surprising not to find any
feedback on real case of FMS3 architecture (or even FMS2 by the
way) ? Is there a place to learn from others experiences ?

check www.hulu.com (only in US)
www.cbs.com
BBC (in UK only)
tv.adobe.com
www.yahoo.com (not all but at many places like videos in
finance section seems to be streamed)
live.yahoo.com -for live content.
for more you can browse through many blogs/ sites like
flashcomguru.com etc. or FMS product page.

Is there in fact a real, live MOZILLA TECH SUPPORT PERSON who can respond??

Is there ANYONE out there who can identify and correct the problem causing intermittent non-functionality of my ATT/Yahoo email on FF? Evidently this is indeed a FF issue, as my email works fine with another browser on my Ipad. Does Mozilla in fact have in-house tech support people??
To re-iterate the problem as I described it in this forum a week ago--but to which I had no response--I can open the email page, but it does not refresh to load new emails; I cannot compose and send, cannot delete, and cannot open any folders.
I re-set FF, re-loaded an earlier version (that subsequently up-dated to v.22 on its own), tried System Restore. I spoke with ATT tech support then as well--at least they have live support, for free--and at the conclusion of nearly an hour the problem went away--until today, again--despite the tech's assertion that she did nothing, that perhaps an up-date had not completed loading?
Today I downloaded the FF "Troubleshooter" software--that didn't help, either.
I REALLY would appreciate an upper-level technician from Firefox/Mozilla responding to this--with a solution!
Thank you!

This is Mozilla's tech support. Like most providers of free software, mozilla doesn't have a dedicated phone support system, but this site is manned by both staff (like me) and community members. You get support for ATT because you pay monthly to use their services.
You should make sure you update to Firefox 23 (22 is out of date and no longer supported), and try all the steps at your previous post ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/966272]). Specifically, try a new profile or Reset Firefox [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
I'm going to lock this thread since it's a duplicate, and please follow up on your previous thread. Thank you!

Talking to a real live person possible?

So I'm having trouble starting up my Time Machine, and nothing on here addresses my issue. Is there an actual way to talk to someone live at Apple without having to fork over more money? I cant seem to get the online thing to get me to talk to someone, and every other venue I've tried leads me to believe i have to pay to get actual help.... which seems absolutely ridiculous considering this thing is 500 bucks.

Or why not book a slot at the genius bar at an Apple store if you are within a reasonable distance. My local one was pretty helpful when I had a problem recently

Live! Effect vf-0080 help with advanced video fx required

Every time I click on advanced video fx it keeps coming up you require administrator rights. I am on Windows Vista and only have one user account which is also the administrator. Any ideas please?
Thank you

Hi n
You have one day more for Your project than in Sweden as Santa has to start
somewhere and home is close. (We start at about 15.00 24 of dec).
I would start with - if the music is bought from iTune store (a fix for a known
problem) to save it out as an audio CD (.aiff) else it will look OK till You try
Your DVD disk = No sound.
Then I would start a new iMovie project and from media button select photos
and drop one start photo from iPhoto down into timeline. Then I would import
the music from the new CD.
Cont to put photos one at a time into timeline. Change duration so that they
match the tempo in Your movie.
Transitions
Effects
etc.
Save from time to time to keep safe.
When the "movie" is done - close iMovie and open iDVD and drop Your movie
project icon into this - or - use the import function in iDVD.
DON'T Share/Export from iMovie to iDVD - it will destroy Your movie by a bad
rendering work. iDVD does this so much better.
I don't know any way to use the "themes" in iDVD into iMovie. Sorry
Merry Christmas !!!
Yours Bengt W

Apple store real live support

How do you
get a phone number to speak to a live person about a fraudulent charge on a bank account

The iTunes Store does not have phone support nor live chat, if that's what you mean. If you need assistance from the iTunes Store, Go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to get to a form through which you can email them.
I would also call my bank, report the fraudulent charge to them, they will then deal with Apple.

Need help contacting a real live PERSON at Apple

I have a general technical issue that I badly need to have addressed; it's not anything to do with any specific device, which is where I'm running into trouble. It's an ongoing problem, and there should be a generic customer support area that can take my call if it's not for a device. I don't want to call the Apple store and see if they can redirect me unless that is truly the only option.
It's an issue with MacBook/Pro power cords, and has been a problem over the five years I've had these various laptops. At least five different cords have been involved, and I'm about to have two more unusable ones on my hands, with two laptops in the house that need to be powered. If I have to buy new cords, then so be it, but I would really like to talk to Apple first and see if they can address WHY these cords keep failing in different ways.

Neither one of you seems to be understanding the problem here, so I drew you a diagram.
I actually understand it very well.
This is an ONGOING PROBLEM. I don't know how much clearer I can make this. Nothing I own from Apple is still under warranty,
You don't understand. There is a one year hardware warranty. You state you have a 2011 MBP. We are still in 2011. That means your MBP is still under warranty. I don't know how much clearer I can make that, ya know?
and I refuse to pay the outrageous $50 fee for a single session of help
We agree.
when I have been having this problem under three different devices and at LEAST five different cords (I may have miscounted and forgotten one or something).
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
What if one of the power cords that was actually still working for me was from the Macbook (which is no longer in my possession)? What would you reccommend I do then? There's no serial number to refer to, it would just be an isolated piece of hardware.
Contact Apple if it's still under warranty, or go in to an Apple Store or AASP.
This is how I would like my issue to be handled,
There are a whole lot of things in this world I'd like to be handled differently, but so far I have not found that hotline which allows me to simply call and change those things. (The clicking heels things hasn't been working so well either. )
as if there were no device attached to it. I can say this as many times as you want, it's not going to change.
Ummm, ok.
I would simply resolve this by going to my closest Apple store, but my closest Apple store is two hours away, so how about no.
Well, at least consider it next time you're in the area, and also consider an AASP.
One other thing I wonder if you realize. We are just Apple users (somewhat) like you. We are not Apple. We are trying to help you. OK?

An actual real live "how to" question! :-)

All,
Just did a two camera shoot (one electronic remote), both cameras time synched. I'd like to bring both set of card data from each camera into one folder sorted by time the image was created. The remote was shooting stage show at full stage wide angle, while I used my 70-200 IS 2.8 for telephoto work. I'm looking to be able to sort and edit based on the time sequence so I can have the images taken at the same time adjusted to be similar in white balance adjustments, exposure, etc... Any help would be appreciated.
Jay S.

Here is my suggested workflow for multiple cameras. We do this when shooting with five different cameras for the same event, and we want them all synchronized within one second.
The key is to set all the photos to a common time source.
So after your shoot, using each camera, take a picture of the clock on your computer screen, one that shows the seconds.
Now open that picture on your computer, and compare the time that you see in the picture to the time that is in the IPTC of the photo. You can now calculate the difference between what the actual time is and the time that the photo says it it. Write down the serial number of teh camera, and the difference in time.
After you import into Lightroom, display only the photos with the Serial Number of the camera that you want to adjust the time. Adjust the IPTC time on all the selected photos so it is adjusted by the same time as the difference that you found earlier.
If you do the same thing for each camera, then they will all be adjusted to make up for any difference in the clocks between cameras.
To summarize:
a) Take a picture of a clock.
b) Find out how much that clock differs from what the camera says.
c) Adjust your photos by the appropriate time difference.
d) Repeat for all the cameras.
Since you are using the same clock as a reference, all the photos should end up in exactly the correct sequence.
It's confusing until you do it once.. then it makes sense.
