Recording video directly onto a macbook pro

I am recording a business conference using a Canon Powershot SX50. Its an all day event and because of the size of the memory card, i want to record it straight onto my macbook pro. how do i do this and what apps do i use?

If yours has an SD card slot then yes, use image capture in your applications folder to do so. If you dot  have an SD card slot you'll need a USB SD card reader to do the same

  • Is there a way of recording component video output to a MacBook Pro

    I have a Sony DXC990P video camera head i.e. it has no recorder. It has several output of which component video is regarded as the highest quality. Is there a way recording this output with a MacBook Pro?

    The matrox MXO2 is likely what you are referring to. It would be an extremely useful i/o device for you if the price is acceptable. It will have good resale value for a few years too if you ever wanted to get rid of it. With your camera's chip set and resolution of 850 lines you can capture via component to 4:2:2 color space by editing in a codec like DVCPRO 50 which is very efficient and looks great too. It is a big step above anything dv related which is 4:1:1 color space. If you ever drop your video signal down to dv quality you will take a big hit picture quality wise. Another device is the original AJA IO which connects via firewire and gives you component i/o as well as s-video, composite and digital component as well. The AJA IO's are selling on ebay for $600.00 - $750.00. They were around $2500.00 originally. You could also use an AJA LA which is basically the analog side of the IO and they are a little cheaper. Blackmagic multibridge is another product that is similar. These are all pro level equipment. You will need FCP.

    how can i drag videos off of my iPhone 5 onto my MacBook Pro?

    you'll need to import them
    try using iPhoto, if you don't have iPhoto then you can use image capture. If you can't find image capture type it into the finder.

  • How do I capture video directly to my MacBook?

    I use Sony PD-150 and MacBook Pro with FCP5
    I tried to capture video directly to my MacBook Hard Drive
    without using a tape but it keeps waiting for timecode
    to be set and going nowhere.
    I am pretty sure that there is way to record
    directly to hard drive without going through
    recording to tape and from tape to hard drive
    but can't find the solution.
    Can you guys help me out on this issue?
    thanks in advance!

    Ian's answer is spot on.
    We see this post about once a week so you can scroll down or search the forum and find all of the reasons recording directly to your drive is not recommended.

  • Installing my CS6 onto my macbook pro that doesn't have a disc drive?

    How do I install the CS6 program I bought onto my Macbook pro? It doesn't have a disk drive. I tried to download each individual trial version through Creative Cloud but then when I try to input my serial number, it says it's not a legitimate serial number but it's the one that was emailed to me.

    Creative Cloud is not going to link the CS6 version of the software.  Try the following page instead:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.
    CS6: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
    If you continue to have issues with your serial number, you need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

    How would I import a micro cassette audio tape onto a MacBook Pro?

    If you can connect your recorder to the audio input port of your MBP, enter 'digitize tape mac' in the Google entry field and you will generate a plethora sites that will explain the details.

  • Trying to install CS5 Master Collection onto a macbook pro with no disk drive.

    I would like to install my cs5 master collection onto my macbook pro, however it does not have a disk drive...instead, it's an air drive. Does anyone know if there is any way to download these applications without the disks? I attempted to contact customer service, but apparently adobe does not offer customer support for versions below CS6 (which is unbelievable to me). Thanks.

    Download the trial version from http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first BEFORE you click the download links.
    Install the trial then enter your serial number to license it.

    I brought an app recently from the app store called "pages". I am trying to install this app onto my MacBook Pro but whenever i try and install it, it comes up as "An error as occurred" How do i fix this?

    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.

    If that area is greyed out, click the padlock icon to make changes. You may be prompted for your admin password.
    Then try installing Pages.

  • 128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?

    128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?
    meaning, can it do this well???

    Even 16 MB VRAM would be enough to display a 2D picture on the 30".
    Depending on 3D usage you need much VRAM.
    Unless you are using a lot of the latest 3D games or Apples 3D pro apps (Motion/Shake or something like that) 128 MB should be fine.

  • Will LaCie D2 QUADRA with firewire restore my apps back onto my MacBook Pro if I upgrade to Lion and then restore from the external drive?

    I ordered the disk to update to Snow Leopard.  Did that so I could get the App Store.  Did that so I could download Lion.   After I installed Lion my MacBook is super sluggish.  Takes like 6 seconds just to open a drop-down menu in Finder. 
    I have been backing up. Will LaCie D2 QUADRA with firewire restore my apps back onto my MacBook Pro if wipe my drive using the USB Lion OS stick (which I think I'll have to buy even though I downloaded the new OS online)?  I have been plugging my laptop into the Lacie drive set on "auto" and it's been working great.
    One Genius said yes "you will get everything back" but my Mac buddy says "say goodbye to most of your apps".  Then a guy at the university I asked "do you have a disk image". And I said "what the **** is a disk image?".
    Is the problem that I installed an OS on top of new OS without wiping the drive?  Or, is my MacBook Pro too old? Do I need to buy a new one?

    Any help?

    SA will indeed transfer accounts, files and apps at first start. Can do so even faster if you clone the internal HDD onto the external (just split into a partition large enough to contain it) and then use it as the source. Probably faster than Time Machine too. The safest and quickest way to do a disk image or clone is using CarbonCopyCloner (free), and it will preserve the Lion Recovery Partition too.
    Since you'll have to re--download the Lion installer again, note that you can concoct your very own Lion Installer USB Stick with it prior to reinstalling and not have to pay for the Apple-branded version. See Kappy's tutorial: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3786371?tstart=0
    As for the sluggishness, I believe that a great part of the cause is that you only have 2GB RAM. Don't know if your Mac can take more but try at least to get to 4GB, if not 8GB. Should attempt this before  messing with the reinstall, as this may get you what you want.

    When I copy a CD onto my macbook pro I sometimes get several songs that are "out" of the album.  How do I get them all together in one album?  Any help will be much appreciated as I cannot seem to find the solution to this problem in the troubleshooting section of iTunes.

    Generally all you need do is give tracks from the same album a common Album Artist. See Grouping tracks into albums. The images need an update but the basic info. still holds.

  • I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)?

    I have a MS Office for Mac CD, how do I install the software onto my MacBook Pro (Retina Display)? It does not have a CD drive.

    If all else fails, try this.  i used to do it all the time before. might or might not work with the new office.
    if you have access to another computer with a cd/dvd rom, copy the entire contents of the cd on a thumb drive.
    insert the thumb drive in your MB and do the install from there.
    However, if you have the newer version of MS Office, Bandit's suggestion is much better.
