Record Movie from Digital Camcorder and Audio Interface

I need to find an easy way to record from outboard audio and video equipment, keep it in sync and create a movie file like iMovie out of it. I have a Digital Camcorder I would like to use, and I have my mic interface and I would like to record from both of those at the same time, without needing to sync it together later. iMovie will let me do this, however it will only let me record audio from an outboard device, not video (or at least, not iMovie '08); it requires use of the internal camera. Does anyone know if iMovie 09 will do this, or another Apple program that will work? I'm also running Logic Studio so I have access to Logic and Soundtrack Pro.

With HD being the new standard, do you imagine that they might make QT able to acquire HD soon? Seems that since it plays HD, it should be able to acquire HD too. thanks for your help!

  • Record movie from Canon camcorder in high definition?

    I would like for Quicktime Pro (7.6.2) to record high definition (HDV) video directly from my Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder via firewire. I noticed that QT will record regular DV when I switch the camcorder to the regular DV mode, and it recognizes the presence of the camcorder when the camcorder is set into HDV mode, but I won't record video (it gives the error msg "Recording failed because no data was received"). iMovie '08 will record video from the camera in either DV or HDV modes. Does anyone know a way to get QT to record high definition video from this camcorder? Is there a plug-in that might work? I have already installed Perian.
    [My ultimate goal is to enable a third party program called LabChart to record HDV video, which uses Quicktime to capture video, while also recording data from the USB bus. This is why I can't just import HDV with iMovie, since it can't sync the video to signals coming in via USB}.

  • I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

    I'll stay in this chat ... I answered in the other one ... I have a Sony digital Handycam ... from years ago.  I just got the LaCie and I think I formatted it for only to be used on my Mac ... how should I go about reformatting it to be HFS Extended like you said?

  • Logic and audio interface issues. help!

    Hey guys
    I recently bought a small budget recording studio, My first one so bare with the newbie questions and I'm having diffucties with the setup I believe.
    I connected my midi keyboard to my computer that had Midi in/out from the keyboard via USB Midi interface to the computer. That was all cool. The computer was seeing it and in Logic was telling me signals were coming into logic.
    I then connected my Edirol audio interface ( FA-66 ) 6in/6out. to the computer via Firewire. Midi setup in utlilities sees the device. And that's good right?
    I then used stereo jacks to connect the audio interface to my studio monitors. I played a song in itunes music is coming through the speakers, great!
    Now off to the problem, finally. The reason I got the audio capture device is so that I can record Vocals and guitars, but the thing is when I connect my Mic and guitar to the device no sound in coming into logic, eventhough I can play the guitar clean through my monitor speakers. Very strange. I see 6 input/output channels in logic so it sees the edirol. So if i set Input 2 in logic and put the guitar in inputjack 2 the signal doesn't get through.
    Am I supposed to intertwine the Midi keyboard and audio interface together? If so how is that done? Can anybody help?
    Thanks for baring with the newbie!

    Don't go beating yourself up... you'll rob the trolls of their only pleasure.
    It's like you said: you're new. We were all new once.
    Glad you're up and running... let's hear some music.

  • Mov files dropping video and audio frames CC 2014

    I have been experiencing playback issues in Premiere and just got off the phone with Adobe support. It appears that there is known issue with .mov files dropping video and audio frames that will likely be fixed in the next release. My entire project is .mov files and we need to get some serious editing done to complete a rough cut of our film. As a bandaid, we have reverted the playback renderer to software only and I am experimenting with different preview file formats to see if I will have less dropped frames. I want to avoid converting my media from mov files at all costs as this would be very time consuming with over 100 hours of footage.
    Please let me know if you have any other workarounds!

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, MOV can hold all sorts of "stuff." See this article for some more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
    Can you let us know what is inside that MOV "wrapper?"
    Thanks, and good luck,

  • Imovie 11' quits when importing movies from my camcorder

    I have a question.  I have imovie 11'...and have made movies with iMovie before, but now that i have upgraded to iMovie 11', its is having troble with the import of the video from the camcorder and i am using a firewire, like i usually do. when I upload movies form my camcorder, iMovie suddenly quits.  it somtimes uploads a few seconds, and other times a couple of minutes.  I have a Macbook, and and Version 10.6.8.  Can somebody help me please, because its taking me forever to upload all the videos.  I have to stop, and delete the ones that had problems while importing, and then start all over again.  Its annoying and very frustrating.
    Help me please!!!!!  =)

    For what it's worth, I have been having problems importing video from iPhoto to iDVD in the iLife'08 and also could not select video from iPhoto into iMovie '08 for an iDVD project. Apple technician took all my video clips out of iPhoto and put them on desktop. IDVD '08 is filled with problems, including green screens that replace transitions if using iPhoto photos and video to make slideshows. However, I somehow found in my applications file an "IMovie-previous version"('06) and used it to prepare a slideshow from iPhoto, using video clips from desktop, then "shared" to iDVD '08 tp pick a new theme and it burned perfectly.
    The iMovie version '06 is so much easier to work with and I can avoid the glitches of iMovie'08 that prevented me from importing video. By preparing movie, you can avoid using the transition window in iDVD'08 -- transitions that don't work. Forums on iDVD are filled with people having the same problem and we hope Apple will find a fix.
    If you have'08 and want to revert to '06, there is now an Apple software that will allow you to do that- just offered, to allow people who especially are not interested in YouTube and more interested in sharing with family and friends for TV viewing.

    My Apple TV all of a sudden refuses to show the movies from my MacBook and says it needs to set time network. What is that?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV should set it's time automatically from the network time server, if it isn't doing this try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds, if this fails try resetting or restoring it.

    I used to be able to sync purchased movies from iTunes USA and Italy to my iPad 2 and  iPod touch 4. No more,  even before I upgraded to iOS6.

    - Transfer itunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can also redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - When they are in your iTunes library, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

    So what is meant here is spend more money - wrong answer.
    For that reason most people prefer to buy movies on DVD. They are easily shared, foolproof, and super easy to use. I love Apple TV and iTunes for music and TV shows, but I would never purchase a movie that was not on an optical disc.
    When I head out-of-town I can grab a couple of DVDs to watch on my new MacBook Pro during the flight. Easy and uncomplicated.
    DVDs offer another advantage. You can watch your movie without depending upon a complicated and delicate infrastructure. Also, movies are frequently censored for political correctness (Star Wars is a recent example).  Despite public pressure for a release, the Disney movie “Song of the South” remains banned.  Even cartoons like Johnny Quest are now censored.  Only people who purchased physical copies years ago have them as they were originally produced.
    When you possess a physical copy of the movie the PC patrol can't mess with it.

  • I have ordered a movie from Apple TV and found it would take 10 hours and 27 minutes to down load. How do I stop it, and reverse my order????

    I have ordered a movie from Apple TV and found it would take 10 hours and 27 minutes to down load. How do I stop it, and reverse my order????

    The problem is generally due to a slow internet connection.
    AppleTV files are fixed size.
    For SD you need 2.5Mbps, 720p HD 6 Mbps and 1080p 8 Mbps sustained speeds to view immediately.
    If your internet delivers these speeds you should be able to play within seconds.
    If slower AppleTV works out how long it will take do download the rental of say 3.5GB for a 720p movie, then subtracts the running time of the movie and whatever that figure is is how long it'll take to start.
    So if a movie is 2 hours long and you have a fast connection and it calculates the movie could download in under 2 hours it'll play withing seconds.
    If it thinks it'll take 4 hours to download, it'll subtract the running time of 2 hours and allow you to play in 2 hours time.
    While this may not seem ideal the reason is that if it didn't precahce on a slow connection you would not be able to play a movie through without stopping and starting to cache the next section.
    Unfortunately this is compounded by using the AppleTV for other things as this can reset the clock by flushing any of the rental cached.
