See video in capture, but won't capture.

I see the video in my capture screen. I want to use Capture Now, but when I choose it, the next pop-up screen remains black (with the final cut express logo), and the text in the silver box says "Searching for Timecode". Then the preview screen is disabled too. I look in the viewfinder of my camera, and the tape is still rolling. I press escape, and nothing was captured at all.
What is going on here? Never had a problem with this before. Checked settings. Any help?...
(Samsung SCO103 connected by firewire into macbook pro. Recently installed Snow Leopard, if that is relevant...)

I figured out how to use the DV Converter set-up to make the camera a non-controllable device. Now I can capture for about 2-3 minutes of footage before I get this warning:
"Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved."
Is this simply a gremlin related to playing this tape back on another brand of camera? It was recorded on a JVC camera, and is being captured from a Samsung. Is this a common problem: where people need to play back on the original deck and hopscotch the footage into the system? Please advise. I really don't want to import 3 hours of footage in 2 minute increments.

I tried that now. I was forced to "delete" everything on the cloud, and now I tried signing in exactly as you described, about 45 mins ago, and I'm still waiting for it to actually sign in.

Time Machine See's...but won't "mount" time capsule

Bought 1TB Time Capsule 1 week ago. Did initial backup direct ethernet and all subsequent via WiFi. Everything works fine. However, today I noticed my 7AM backup failed. I am told it can't mount the hard drive. I go into SYS PREF to reselect the time capsule as the Backup Disk, it shows the Time Capsule, I select it, enter password, but about 2 minutes later get the message:
Time Machine Error
No backup volume has been selected
To select a backup volume, open Sys Pref and choose Time Machine
I do..and the loop of futility continues.
I have no problem getting into the Time Capsule through Finder and have successfully moved a file from my desktop to the capsule so I know I am connected and it works.
Also doesn't return anything when I click "Browse Other Time Machine Disks" from the Time Machine menu bar menu. I see my sparsebundle through Finder.
Any ideas on how to get it to recognize the time capsule? It sees it, but won't let me mount it after I enter password.
Have tried rebooting, powering everything down, etc. Everything else is working fine ...the wifi and the ability to access via finder. Basically I have a very expensive wireless router.
Thanks.

When listening to music on ATV, it plays two songs from the playlist, then won't play any more. You can see playlist and songs, but won't respond. Any ideas?

When listening to music on ATV, it will play two songs from the playlist, then no more. You can see the playlist on songs, but it won't play. Turned everything off, reset the network...nothing works. Any ideas? It used to play fine...for hours at a time.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
It is happening via "shuffle" in a playlist. Always two different songs within the playlist. You can see the next song on the screen that should, theoretically, be playing...but nothing happens. Even when you push "play" on the remote, it doesn't receive the command.
I reset, then restored ATV. Now, it doesn't limit itself to two songs, but does stop after a few. The more trial and error I do, the more I believe the problem is with Homesharing in iTunes. If I turn off Homeshare, then turn it back on, a couple more songs will play in the playlist. I have shut down iTunes, restarted computer, completed updates, but nothing seems to change it.
It used to play fine for hours on end, but has now found this glitch.

Video captures but won't dub or print to video

I am using Final Cut Pro 5.1. Capturing video works perfectly, but when I try to dub onto tape or print to video, all I get is black. What's really odd is that when I print to video and check "Automatically start recording," the DV deck DOES automatically start recording, but then the video will play on the computer's screen and not the monitor for the tape deck. Also, video and audio should be coming through the monitor while I am editing, but that isn't working either.
I have refreshed A/V devices, quit FCP and started the program again, and "All Frames" is checked under View->External Video.
One more qualifier. The last time I used this deck was in early December (and it worked perfectly). A week later, it wasn't communicating with the computer at all and I thought it would have to be replaced. I went on vacation and came back and now it's working again (but with the problem I just described above).
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Fixed it myself. The DV deck was on the wrong channel.

Fast video after capture

I have looked but have not found out how to resolve this problem.
I am capturing video from a JVC CyberCam (1800's model) Any way, through fire wire. I have been capturing video just fine but now after I capture the video and play it it is running super fast. So I captured it again with a timecode printed on it and sure enough it will capture 3 to 4 frames (I think) and then skip two.
Any thoughts?

Here are some properties for the test clip I just captured. I reset the Easy Setup to see if i could default back for my capture, still nothing and it still skipps three frames. It plays fast like this if I play the captured video in just quicktime too. The camera is an old one, JCV GR-DVF10. I have composites coming out of it to a Formac Capture box thing. It comes out of that box through a fire to go to my computer. Any that has all stayed the same to my knowledge but I will play with that too.

Video Batch Capture

During the 1990s I edited my DV firewired footage on Canopus Storm editing which, from the start, had a very simple but marvelous Batch Capture facility enabling frame accurate clips to be captured to the timeline. Could anyone tell me which of the Premiere Elements software packages has this Batch Capture function. Thanks Mike

mikehaywood
I do not know of any. And the DV and HDV data capture firewire has been removed from the latest version Premiere Elements 13/13.1. The last version to have this feature is 12/12.1.
I see details for Video Batch Capture for Premiere Pro but not Premiere Elements.

Confused! Video I captured rendered blurry. Titles & "outside" video rendered clear

Here is a link to the video that may make this more clear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmz7-cLqblQ
I am very very very new to all this, so please be patient.
I captured video using a DSLR - Canon T1i - which shoots in HD. I imported it to Adobe Premiere CS3 as an .avi. I created some titles in Premiere and also imported some video I received from an outside source.
The video I captured was dark, so I used the enhancement features in premiere (brightness/contrast, color levels, etc.) to lighten it up. I checked "preserve luminosity".
When I put all these things together in Premiere, it was completely clear in my preview screen. When I rendered and then played back it back on my computer, the video I captured on my T1i was completely blurry. Everything else was crystal clear. I checked on google and many people were saying this happens a lot when watching it from your own computer (?) but to upload it to youtube or vimeo and it should be fine. I did that (took hours!) only to find the same thing is happening there.
I want to tell you what settings I had the video project started in, but I am not sure how to go back and find that out. I know I tried to do the HD settings. If you could tell me how to do that, I am perfectly happy to go back and check the settings for the video or whatever else you need to know.
Thank you very much for your help!

I just experienced the same thing today. I bought a new White MacBook this weekend (I installed all the latest software updates). I published an imovie project to iTunes using the medium setting (Share->iTunes->MEDIUM). I saw the same artifacts that you are seeing. I republished the movie using the LARGE setting and the artifacts were gone. This is my workaround for now.

Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture?

Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture? I know that Captivate is not offered but are there other software applications available that do the same job? I am not wanting to make tutorials but I am a filmmaker wanting to integrate sequences with screen capture (which I will edit on Premiere)

Thanks Brian,
Spent some time yesterday doing research on this. There are good reviews and bad reviews for just about every screen capture application out there it seems.
The top-ten reviews gave their gold medal to CamVerce, which I'll probably buy today.
http://video-capture-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
Yesterday I bought the Sonne Screen video which is rated 5th on the top-ten site. (I figured as I'm going to be editing on premiere I shoudn't need to pay for extra editing packages and as I'm not using it to create tutorials I really just want a good quality screen capture for Windows 8). However, I'm not really happy with the image quality on playback and I'm finding the technical assistance really poor from Sonne. I still haven't received an email confirmation from them.
The others that I thought sounded right for me were WM Capture (though the top-ten review had a few negative things to say about it).
Tried a couple of the free ones also. EZvid is very popular.
Will see how I go and let you know. I'm sure this is very subjective and I'm probably not being as clear as I need to be about purpose of use.

MSI GF4 Ti4200 Video-in/capture on secondary monitor.???

Hi,
I have an MSI Ti4200-VTD8X (dual head, Video I/O). I am running it in dual monitor setup. When i try to view the video input on the secondary monitor i get the message:
"due to limitations of your computer's display device, this video can only play back on one of your monitors. please move the video window completely onto that monitor"
Does anyone know if this is a driver problem? or really it is a limitation with the card?. though i do not know why would the card be able to view the video capture window on one monitor but not the other?.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
L.
P.S.: system:
MSI T14200-VTD8X 128m
ASUS A7v8x Mobo
512M RAM
Win XP

Yes, I am using NVidia's nView as well as their WDM drivers. my dual monitor support seems to work fine.
Only if i want to see video input feed using something like win_DVR or Win_VCR or even Win_Producer that i get this message if the software/input winodow was on the secondary monitor.
Any help would be appriciated :D

Qosmio G10: analog video signal capturing from Camcorder

Please help
I am from Canada and new to this forum. I bought a Qosmio G10 early this year but only had a chance to try to use it to capture and convert my V8 home video tapes recently with no success.
I have tried the Toshiba Tech support with no hope. I have tried the registery patch for VinDVD creator 2, but still it is not seeing my video input stream from the camcorder. I tried both S-Video and Composite inputs with no result. Anybody with similar experience?
I appreciate your help.
Moe

Help please?
It's me again!
So far I've got the analog video stream captured only when using DVD Creator 2. But, I still have two more problems to solve. 1) When I stop recording onto DVD creator, always error message:"WinDVD Creator has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." is displayed, and restarting the program it cannot open the recorded clip saying "either the file is corrupt or a non-compatible file format" while Windows Media player can play it back. I cannot edit the recorded video clip as a result. 2) The second problem is that the video stream from S-Video of analog camcorder is played back OK, but once click the record on DVD creator, the video capturing starts to lag and looses smooth flow.
Any hint or comment is appreciated.
Thanks,
Moe

Video with JWPlayer does load, but won't play and no error message (as plug-in needed) apear. What's the problem?

video's with JWPlayer start loading but won't play and stay black with a rolling wheel. The player is shown and even full screen can be activated.
There is no message for a missing plug-in.

Do you see an error message about this in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Command+Shift+K)?
Is there a shield or other extra icon on the left end of the location bar indicating that content is blocked?

LR 5.5 - Cannot export/publish to HDD or Flickr from video frame capture - "An internal error has occurred: assertion failed"

Basically as the title states, I cannot publish a set of photos that originated as video frame captures, whether to my hard drive or using a service plugin for Flickr. I have tried multiple publish service plugins for Flickr and everything fails precisely the same way. This only happens when I add photos to the collection that are JPG's derived from video, and it only started doing this recently. I have other frame captures that I uploaded just fine, but it appears that nothing from the set I worked on the other day wants to upload. Other NEF-derived photos from the same set work just fine.
All I get is a Warning dialog stating that an error has occurred while the main dialog stops on "Preparing to export...", then it kicks me back with no action taken when I click OK. The status in the upper left says "Updating Published Collections". If I remove the new frame capture photo, it works fine, but as soon as I add one to the collection, it fails to publish.
I updated from 5.4 to 5.5, tried new publish plugins, completely removed and recreated my local profile, reimported my catalog, all to no avail. Everything worked fine two days ago, then when I went to upload my latest edits yesterday, I started receiving the error and have had no luck fixing it.
I used debugView to capture a log as the error occurred, so I can provide that for a developer or support contact if required.
EDIT: I just tried choosing some different photos in the set, and most appear to work, so it is just some particular images that it does not like. I will try to narrow it down.
Message was edited by: Andrew Morton

I narrowed it down to one photo in particular that it does not like. It's not a deal-breaker, but I am still curious what is going on that is causing that one photo being in a set to break the publish process

Problem with previewing video when capturing

I recently had to reinstall FCP onto my Powerbook and since doing this the following problem has occured:
When I open the log and capture window the program recognises my DV deck and plays the footage fine. However, when I start to capture the footage, the video preview is disabled - it freezes on the 1st frame. The video is capturing fine and when I check the audio preview box I am able to listen to the audio whilst capturing, but I can usually preview the video as well.
In the audio / video settings the 'capture card supports simultaneous play through and capture' boxis checked - and as I say, this was fine before re-installing.
Presumably this is as simple as a preference that has not been altered since I re-installed the program?
If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

It is highy likely that quicktime is wacky after the FCP reinstall.
go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say quicktime followed by a number (eg Quicktime652.pkg)
Go to the Quicktime download web site and download the correct version for your OS and FCP version.
Reinstall.
Reboot.
Repair permissions.
Good luck.
