Shooting night video with the G16

I'm looking for advice. I've only had my Canon G16 for about a month and I need to do some extensive night video. I'm wondering what's the best setup to use.
Can I adjust ISO, white balance, etc. while shooting video? (I know I can adjust exposure compensation because there's a separate dial for that.)
If so, I'm wondering what are the best settings to minimize noise while giving me my best shot at a useable video clip. Can you help?

Charleyhorse,
The items you mentioned need to be set before you start the video. Once the G16 is running the video, you cannot make adjustments to white balance, ISO, etc. The people I deal with all run the video for their G16's in Auto mode and let the camera make the decisions. But like myself, they don't use video very often, so hopefully someone with video experience on the G16 can give some better insight.

Shooting a video with the built in camera?

Hi,
How do you shoot a video with your built in camera on the new iMac? Is this possible? If so what are the steps (or a website to direct me too?) involved and what format will it be in when it's done? I know using Quicktime Pro I can change the format later for a blog, website or Powerpoint. How do you find the code for the video (like the inbed code you see on youtube to upload a video onto a blog?
Thanks,
S.

I am shooting aerial video with a GoPro H3+ at 1080p 30fps and would like to edit videos and give them to my clients to use in as much media as possible for their advertising and marketing needs.

Can we assume that your 1080p30 is an AVCHD.mp4 file or other?
You manually or the project automatically should set the project preset to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30 @29.97
(If your frame rate is really 30 instead of 29.97, then go with DSLR 1080p30 instead of DLSR 1080p30 @29.97)
See the following link for setting the project preset manually
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
For your export
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30
Please let us know if you have further questions on this or need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

Strange behavior when I try to match a mpeg2 video with the menu size image

hello all,
got a strange behavior when I try to match a mpeg2 video with the menu size image,
menu size is 1920 x 1080 (photoshop file)
mpeg2 video 1920 x 1080 (1second 19 frames)
the idea is to go from the menu link to the next sub menu with a video as transition, using the same image on the video as the menu and then zooming in (in my case through a door) to end up after the zoom in the next level menu.
I try to achieve a smooth change from the first play menu picture to the video image into the next level menu picture,
everything works good but when I watch it on the preview mode on the left and right side of the video it shows a black bar at least 15 to 25 pixel wide, that means the video image appears smaller and it causes a little jump what is preety disturbing and can not be sold as a professional work.
why encore treats the video size and picture differently?
it's gratful appreciated if somebody who got experience in a transition I mentioned obove posting any solution,
thankl you all

Hi all
I'm having a very similar problem with Encore. My menu items are distorting (a minor but infuriating squashing top and bottom) when previewed.
Using Encore,PS,AE CS4
DVD format SD PAL DV widescreen
I created 3 menu frameworks and 3 video transistions to link them in AE. On the final frame of each transistion in AE I saved the frame with Composition>Save Frame to> Photoshop Layers. In PS i added the button functionality and saved.
In Encore I use Dynamic link to import AE transistions as timelines and imported each PS menu twice, once as "menu" and once as an asset.
When I link the timeline transistions to the menu and preview at the point the menu begins the whole image is squashed. When the next transistion is activated the image returns to its original size.
Thinking it was the use of PS that was causing the menus to distort I used the menu asset directly in the time line. Obviously no menu functionality but also no distortion. The AE transistion flowed straight into the "menu" just as I expected.
In the properties panel the menu Aspect Ratio 16:9
The AE transistions PAR is SD PALwidescreen 1.4587.
I did try the Blu Ray suggestion above but the same distortion was apparent.
Any suggestions short of squashing the video to match the menu would be welcomed.
Thanks

I can't watch a video with the extension mpg or avi or anyother one using flexplayer for my ipad. Which player i can download to watch the videos that i receive in my email?

I can't watch a video with the extension mpg or avi or anyother one using flexplayer for my ipad. Which player i can download to watch the videos that i receive in my email?

Unfortunatelly, something’s not working fine on Flexplayer during the last cupple of months. A lot of updates have been released lately and the problems persist. Since iOS 6 was on the air, the problems became even worst. It’s a shame, but I think it’s time to change the app we are using. The alternative I found is 8Player, it works fine, similar to Flexplayer (but nicer interfase), and the best is that it supports “.flv” (not sure Flexplayer did). You can save your files to your hard disc using iTunes and then transfer them again to your idevice, once you’ve installed 8Player. I hope this helps. Bye bye Flexplayer!!

Can I take video with the iPhone and edit it in the iPad?

I have an iPhone 4 and a iPad 2. On both devices I have iMovie. Many times I take video with the iPhone as it's more handy but it's harder to edit it on it.
I would like then to transfer the movie to the iPad to edit it using iMovie.

Import the movie from your iPhone's Camera Roll with your computer followed by transferring the movie from your computer to your iPad via the iTunes sync process - selected under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.

Showing a video with the new effects applied

Hey there
I´ve made a colored project using DaVinci Resolve and now i´m trying to insert the before and after videos onto my showreel using a curtain like effect that starts with the before video and then opens the after video with the effetcs applied.
Is it possible to do it in After Effects? Any way to do that curtain like effect?

Although, now that I think about it, why not just do this in an NLE? This is pre-built in Premiere Pro and most other editing software. I wouldn't even bother with After Effects at all for a simple video editing task like this.

How do I stream Vimeo videos with the YouTube widget?

I am having trouble streaming a Vimeo video with the YouTube widget in Captivate 7. The Vimeo video is: http://vimeo.com/24270413#at=0
When I test it in Captivate it comes up with an error message. Does the Vimeo address need to be amended in any way to work with the YouTube widget?
I have no problem with YouTube videos but Vimeo is causing me problems.
Thanks

I think you will have the same problem, i've tried to insert vimeo videos as well using the Web Object interaction in Captivate and they don't load...

When I make a video with the camera ipad mini seen but not heard I can do ?

when I make a video with the camera ipad mini seen but not heard I can do ?

Yeah, of course you can. All you do is, open PhotoBooth, record your video and then, once you have stopped the video recording just drag the movie out of the bottom of PhotoBooth onto the desktop. It is in .mov format so you can then add it to iMovie for further editing or just upload it to youTube as it is.
Easy as pie!

With OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, cannot record video with the iMac's built-in FaceTime HD camera. Cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar.

Just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar to record video on my iMac's Face Time HD built-in camera. Trying to follow the steps found under "iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera" on apple support posting but it seems to me that those were posted for another OS version.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Triunfo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are using the current version of iMovie, 10.0.6, you can follow the directions in the help article linked to below to import using the built-in FaceTime HD camera.

Shooting stills while recording video with the SX50

Has anyone done this? I was shooting some video yesterday and was happy with how it came out until I realized that pressing the shutter button while recording video actually caused the video to insert a black frame and included the shutter sound. What is this?
My Kodak Z990 was able to do this same function (take pictures during videos) and even though some of them would turn out a bit blurrier than I would have liked, it never insert a black frame and sure didn't stick the shutter sound in there. Did Canon do this on purpose? I'm going to have to try and pull this video into some video editor to remove the frame and sound and hope it works.
Lesson learned, I guess. I'll take pictures and video separately from now on, just in case, but it's unfortunate that Canon screwed up badly on this feature.

Charleyhorse,

Which gear goes well for shooting 'amateur videos' with iPhone 5?

Hi to all. Recently purchased this phone with a view to use it also as a 'second camera' for shooting my videos which I post on YT.
Would like to be guided by iPhone owners who so use their mobiles for shooting videos as to what type gear goes well for shooting good videos.
Thanks in advance!

Your signature says iOS 6.1.2 but your post mentions iOS 7. Exactly what version you have matters. There was a bug in 6.1.3 that could allow access to photos and there was a bug in 7.0.2 that allowed access to the phone app but nothing else. I'm not aware of one in 7.0.4 that will give access. The Activation Lock will prevent reuse of the phone even if they wipe it via recovery mode and there is no none bypass for Activation Lock.
