Recording video not from camera

I want to record video into Final Cut to edit from locations outside of my camera, i.e. the internet, DVD player, etc. My camera does not have the function to input video, it can only export it.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks
Matt

Internet video comes in various forms - obviously Quicktime is the friendliest for FCP, and in my experience AVI is the one most likely to have an obscure codec. Two of the best tools I have found for converting weird video from web (and digital security camera) sources is FFMpeg. You'll find it for free, along with others like mp4vdecoder at the apple website under downloads>video. For converting DVDs, the best free tool is Mpeg Streamclip by Squared 5, downloadable from http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/MPEGStreamclip1.9.1.dmg . It has a function to "Export to DV" which has a small idiosyncrasy: even though you can set audio to 48kHz, you still need to render audio (normally a trivial issue.)
Once you have converted the clip to the correct frame size and frame rate, it can be imported into FCP and edited into your project.

Does Premier Elements allow me to record video streaming from the internet?

Does Premier Elements allow me to record video streaming from the internet? If so which version and how?

Although Premiere Elements is not going to record streaming video from the Internet but there are other programs that can, you should consider the terms of service for the web site that is the source for the streaming video.
Online, there are very comprehensive articles on numerous programs that will do the recording.
But, even those articles point out that many of the Internet web sites that you target for their videos have terms of service that would legally prohibit the recording of streaming video from the named web sites, one example, YouTube, if no download button and depending on the terms of service.
Please consider. Any questions about the above, I can point you to the appropriate documentation on the matter.
Thank you.

Recovery of deleted video clip from camera roll

How can I recover a deleted video clip from camera roll?

Is the deleted clip contained in a backup that you have? If so, restore from that backup. Please note that all content created on the phone since the backup was done will be lost

FME Firewire Video and Audio Support(not from Camera)

I can't seem to find any definitive answer on weather FME can
support both video and audio from a single Firewire connection that
is coming from an analog to digital Firewire converter box. I want
to take the analog audio and video feed, convert it to a Firewire
feed (using a Canopus DV converter) and feed that into a laptop.
Seems like that should work and both audio/video would be
present...
That being said, I have found a few conflicting reports on
weather or not both the audio and video will be recognized. I also
note that others have been having issues in FME with PCI cards (no
audio when it should be there) so I'm curious if anyone has tried
Firewire (not from a camera). Will it work in FME v2.5+? If not, is
there an elegant laptop analog to digital conversion solution (that
doesn't require using the crapy mic in or line in ports)? (RCA
connectors would be preferred.)
Thanks so much!
P.S. I'm disappointed with Adobe's lack of support on this
encoder. They claim Firewire is supported but I've only found a few
3rd party sources that say 'video only' and nothing concrete at
that (even in the downloadable manual). I'm also disappointed at
Adobe's lack of e-mail support for 'pre-sale' product questions.
Not supper great customer service!

FME should support audio and video from Firewire
source.

.THM Sidecar Files Not Included When Importing Video Directly From Camera (Canon 7d)

Lightroom (3.4) has always copied the .THM sidecard files when I have imported video files from my Canon 7d using a card reader. However I am on a trip and have forgotten my card reader so I have been copying directly from the camera and for some reason Lightroom is not copying the .THM sidecar files and thus I am missing all my valuable metadata such as camera, exposure, focal length, ISO, etc. associated with the video files. Very frustrating!
Any ideas?

Also because I do not have a card reader I cannot grab the .thm files myself. Mac OS X (and I think Windows) just see the camera as a "device" and offer to import but do not give me direct access to the files. Maybe if there is an app that will allow me to do that when the camera is connected I can work around this for now.

Live video feed from camera and other PC

My Mac Pro is being shipped as we speak. I'm new to this, and not up with all the lingo so please bear with me. I'm hoping you all can help me figure out what I'm trying to accomplish:
I currently VJ (Video Jockey) with certain software on a PC and send that video mix out (DVI or VGA) to a Plasma TV. I just bought a Canon A1 camera and a Mac Pro w/FCP studio. How can I mix the live video feed of the Canon with the video feed from PC (preferably in HD)?
I also want to be able to record and edit the footage from the Canon later.
I was told by the guys at the Apple store that I could do this using FCP multicam. Is that true? I read a couple posts on here that say FCP is just editing software and can't do live feed. Then what is the purpose of multicam? Please help. Thanks-
mac pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core

The Apple people probably didn't understand that you wanted a live mix. FCP can't help you there.
MultiCam is an FCP feature "post-switching" multicamera recordings for that live-to-tape look. It is fairly complex, and especially with only two "cameras" you would be muchn better to start off editing them on the timeline.
As for a live switch you need a video switcher. Outside the realm of FCP, but http://bhphoptovideo.com is a great place to do research.
Then if you're really serious you can record both feeds plus optionally the live switched output for further manipulation in FCP or elsewhere.

Record video using iSight camera

Hi all, I want to record video using my webcam on Mackbook Pro 17". How can I do that?

Understand that the image quality will not be up to what a consumer DV camera will produce.

I created an Imovie on Ipad. Before exporting the Imovie, I deleted the video clips from camera roll. Error message "this proj. contains clips which have been deleted from your photo library." Help! Can I recover the "preview" file of my video in Imovie?

Is there an app out there to find the files within Imovie app on my Ipad where the Imovie "preview" is playing from?
I deleted the original vidoe clips from my Camera Roll before exporting the Imovie to Youtube because my camera roll was out of memory.
I'm using the latest Imovie app for Ipad.
Cheers

How do I upload video clips from camera onto icloud

How do I upload videos taken from my camera which are on my laptop to iCloud?

Hi Lynda
miniDVD Cameras are not to use when one wants to edit the material
they are built for - direct playback
iMovie and FinalCut needs miniDV (tape) Cameras with a FW-out
Your Camera probably doesn't have FW out but USB and analog out.
You can: load Your movie file into the Mac via a DVD-reader that is not slot loaded
and from here use converting programs to get a file-type that iM or FCE/P
can read (With quality losses)
or
Connect an A/D-box from analog-out on Camera and FW to Mac.
Also with quality losses.
Recommendation Primary: Exchang Camera to a miniDV (tape) one
really the best way.

How do I email video imported from camera?

How do I email video imported from digital camera? It is a short video not more than a couple minutes long. I am using a PowerBook G4.
Thanks for any help.

Video's get big quickly, however, assuming it's not too big, just attach it to your email and send it along.
This isn't a reliable method because you just don't know what the limits are on both ends. It is much more reliable to use a free file transfer service like Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Amazon Cloud Drive, YouTube, etc and just send an email link.
Eustace Mendis wrote:
You should compress the video file before transferring. Just click on the name video file and go to the File menu. Compress ... is there. The compressed file will have the same name as the original, with a .zip suffix.
That's not the way to compress a video file. Video files are already compressed using lossy codecs like H.264, and if you apply a lossless codec like ZIP you may end up with zero additional compression. In some cases, applying ZIP to a lossy compressed file may cause the file to become larger.
The correct way to compress a video is to export it from iMovie (or whatever) with the correct settings for the destination (email, YouTube, iPad, etc.).

Import of video not from itunes

I would like to know if and how I could save and see on my ipod any video that I can get not from itunes but from other sites or for instance from a cdrom.
I thank anyone who can give me some informations about my question.

The iPod will only accept videos in MP4 format, if your videos are anything else then you would need to find software to convert them.
There's information on videos here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt12.html

How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:
http://perian.org/#watch
It's the video at the bottom of the page.
I have also seen this (but not tried it) on another forum:
Say you want to download this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld5j8vSWz7w just put pwn after www
http://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=Ld5j8vSWz7w
That might also work on other sites, but I don't know.
Download in high quality if possible and then you can import it wherever you want to.
Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.

Can I record audio notes from iphone to cd

Can I record audio notes to cd from my iPhone?

Not direct from the iPhone, but audio notes can be synced with iTunes on your computer. You can burn your iPhone audio notes to a CD from your iTunes library on your computer as with any other music files in your iTunes library.

Record midi notes from reason?

I was wondering if there is any way to send midi notes from reason back into logic (other than exporting regions) :P
The reason I want to do this is because I am addicted to the Matrix editor in reason... it's such a fun scratchpad
-S

You mean the Matrix editor in Logic, dont you?
No, there is actually a matrix editor in reason too.... It's basically a pattern sequencer that makes it feel like you are working on a TB-303
Well, not quite that good :P but it's fun.
It's basically an analog style sequencer.... gives you CV type outputs if you want
I tried to get the exact link that explains it, but it just shows up as...

Do a search for "matrix" it is the first one in the list
