Sync logic with external video

i want to run logic pro 8 during live shows with audio and synchronised video art. but i want to connect two macs and put the video data on the other one, so the first is totally dedicated to the audio. how do i link the two together so the video will run in sync?
thx a lot!!!!

What kinds of Macs? If one of them is a desktop then you could run video out of a second monitor output, and thus do it all from one computer.
I don't know if any of the laptops have facility to run more than one monitor display, but if so then as above you could do it all with one computer.
That aside, and sticking with the two-computer setup, would you be running Logic on both computers? If not, whatever video app you're running on the second computer would have to be able to accept MIDI (either via a MIDI interface or perhaps via MIDI-over-ethernet) and read MIDI Time Code ("MTC"). In this situation you'd set Logic to the same frame rate as the video and enable Logic's MTC output.

  • Problem With External Video

    I am currently running Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 on OS X 10.4.8. I am having some serious issues trying to get Final Cut to display the timelines video out to my TV. I have my Canon GL2 connected via FireWire, and set it up so the DV input plays as the audio/video. It then goes out to the TV via some standard RCA jacks. I have done this before, no problem.
    The settings are as follows:
    External Video: All Frames
    Video Playback: Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480)
    Audio Playback: Audio Follows Video
    Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    Device Control Preset: FireWire NTSC Basic
    If I turn the camera off, the output shows it as 'missing'. I can import using the camera so I know its connected correctly with the FireWire. I can see playback on the TV if I watch the tape, so I know that too is connected correctly.

    Its funny you should reply, I was just looking through my posts, and was reading a response you left months ago when I asked a question, then I came back to this post and there you were again! Thanks, I fiddled with the camera for a bit and finally did something to get it to show up. Marked as solved.

  • Scrubbing problems with external video turned on

    I recently upgraded to Tiger and using FCP vers 4.5. When my external video is on and viewing on my NTSC monitor, I have a very irritating problem. Whenever I use the keyboard to play in reverse or scrub by holding down the J and K keys at the same time for slow play, the image stutters and drops frames. Also, the Viewer or Canvas display will also periodically black out for a second or two. When I scrub with the mouse, I don't see this problem. It's only when using the keyboard.
    When I turn off external video, everything is fine. I've never had this problem in the past with my system. The only thing that's changed is Tiger and Quicktime 7 Pro. I have done all the upgrades and threw away all FCP preference files.
    I'm stumped. Anyone else having the same problem?
    By the way, video plays fine when in external video mode. Laid off a project last night, no issues or dropped frames.

    Oh my goodness I'm having the same problem! Recently I upgraded to Quicktime 7.0.3 but did some Security Updates as well and thought I was up the creek. I'm on FCP 4.5, OS X 10.3.9 and noticed the same backwards stuttering. Thank you so much for putting your solution on there, I will try it first thing when I get to work tomorrow!

  • Handshake Problem with external video

    I have a 13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008 MacBook. After upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot get my mac to connect with any external video device: projector or TV. My mac can't detect the external device even when I go to "Detect Device" In System Pref.

    How many months must pass before apple addresses this, this has been a known issue since July at least. Every display in my place has issues with this nonsense, and the only real solution has been to downgrade back to Lion. I can only do this with my home machine as my work laptop must remain updated to match the work system. This sort of thing drives me so crazy I can't even begin to voice my anger, why did I pay this company to upgrade my technology when all it did was force my monitors to go dark?

  • Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

    I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player.  It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams.  It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
    The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
    I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux.  I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
    To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com
    To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
    I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
    We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
    If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    You need to add this setting:
    dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
    The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
    I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
    Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
    https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
    Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.

  • Sync issues with HD Video...

    Hello!
    We've had some sync issues with several HD Videos. Recently, a shoot was done. Some shots were totally in sync and others were out of sync. Any idea what this could be from? Not sure if the shots came from different cameras or not.

    Hi,
    Yes, I apologize. The video editor wasn't giving me any details. I did see the 44.1/48khz issue online. So will this happen only if both are mixed in the same timeline?
    Thanks

  • Sync Logic with another application

    Hi, I would like to sync Logic Pro with another program (Band in a Box). I am pressing "synchronize" and "record" get the program on hold (with a red/pink band at the top). I then set Band in a box to send "midi sync" to the virtual port. I expect logic to start recording, but it doesn't. On the other hand, I can see the midi notes coming in ( see them in logic's transport bar); also if I manually start recording, the notes get recorded. If I get the midi notes, why doesn't logic start authomatically? Manually I can not synchronies properly both programs...I have tried all different options in logics midi and synchronies options, but don't get it to work...appreciate any help

    Logic does not sync to MIDI Clock. Anymore. Send MTC from BIAB or from Logic (in case BIAB can sync to MTC) instead.

  • Problems with external video

    Hello,
    I am trying to record video to my mini DV camera, something I have done many times before, and for some reason i can't!
    My settings are all as they should be (or so I think) in NTSC 24, view all frames. The computer does recognize my device. I even have tried to capture and it does it. It plays, it just won't record.
    The most annoying thing is that the camera monitor does show a still frame from the video in FCP but when I press spacebar (am trying to record from playback) it doesn't play the video only the audio then when I stop it it shows another frame again.
    I have 512 RAM. Too little, I know, but like I said it has worked before and it should work again.
    I'm getting a headache, any help is welcome
    thanks
    IBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.5)  

    The External video has been in 'all frames' from the start.
    I also tried the resizing but didn't work.
    The very strange thing is that I can see the images in the camera when I move the playhead in the Timeline. But after pressing space bar the image freezes in the camera even if it plays in the canvas.
    I know it must be something simple, I just can't figure it out.
    thanks

  • Sound does not sync up with the video and don't know why.

  • Sync Logic with Video

    What is the best method for low CPU and perfect Audio Video Sync in Logic?
    When I import Video and loop playback the video is kinda of unpredictable. I want it perfect sync with as little CPU as possible. External devices/setups welcome as well as minimum system requirements.

    Hi,
    I've got some experiences. First it's important to get the right video file format. The best quality and performance is Photo-JPEG but you can use DV (PAL or NTSC) as well. +I've heard Logic works well with MPEG-2.+
    When I work with Photo-JPEG or DV-PAL (in my system) Logic goes fine and sync is perfect. There is no way to add any new videos to your existing video track.
    I observed one problem: when I move from Movie window view to Inspector movie view - Logic crashes sometimes... but if I work only with one of them - all is fine. I recommend to set audio to 48kHz but sometimes it depends on source properties.
    Hope be helpful.

  • HELP!: changing from manual update to sync update with no videos in library

    My ipod (120GB Classic) is set on manual so i can manage my own music but the number of songs in my iTunes library and on my ipod is different, about a 20 song difference. Because of this i wanted to change my ipod setting to automatically sync from itunes, but when i try that it says that it will delete all the content on my ipod and replace it with the things in my Library.
    The problem is that i have about 200 videos on my ipod but none of them are in my iTunes library. If i were to change the setting will all the videos on my ipod be deleted? Also, if i wanted to change back to manual setting after sync setting it wouldn't effect the content right?

    thanks for posting your problems. it's a good heads up for people who might be using software update. I'm sorry i don't have a solution for you, but I do have a workflow that can avoid these sorts of problems. When you have a stable OS/Application combo, clone your startup drive using something like carboncopy cloner (available on versiontracker.com) to a bootable drive (a second internal drive or an external firewire drive with the correct formatting). This way, you can update with impunity and if a problem occurs, you can restore your system to a working state very quickly.

  • Final Cut 7 audio sync issue with external audio

    Ok, I've seached around a lot and still haven't found the solution for this common issue, which is sync between video and audio wich were recorded in two different devices.
    My video is from a conference (a lady speaking all the time) ProRess 29.97 and my audio is wav recorded at 44.1 Khz. I have already converted my external audio to a fine AIFF 48 Khz, and I have already re-imported it with the correct 29.97 easy setup, as it shows on this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt-nfelM8KA. That helped a lot but audio still goes out on sync when playback goes further (not that much, but it shows).
    On Premiere Pro, that wav file a correctly in sync, and I have had this issue before with FCP and now it has come back! help!
    Anyone found a real solution for this issue?

    Why not just use Premier? FCP is going to slowly die out anyways....
    Anyhow, a work around... using the speed change tool (sss) adjust the audio to be the same length of the video so it is in sync... Press command-J, make note of the percentage you sped up your audio. Now open your audio in STP, select all of your audio go to Process>Timestretch and adjust the audio and apply the same percentage.
    Listen to your audio. STP's time stretch is excellent because it adjusts the speed without changing the pitch.
    Save as, re-import your audio.

  • Can't sync game with 60GB Video iPod

    This morning I purchased Phase for my iPod. (5thG 60GB Video) And I can not sync this game to my iPod. I get the error {The game "Phase" was not copied to the iPod "mcarrolls iPod" because you are not authorized to play it on this computer.} I normally don't sync my music, just manually add content to my iPod, But I checked Sync Games in my iPod tab and I get the error. Then I went as far as to snyc my entire library, deleting hours of ipod formatted video I encoded myself from my ipod, but still wasn't able to get the game to sync. I decided to try a restore, since my iPod was practically empty, still no luck. I purchased an album in iTunes and am able to both sync, and manually add that purchased album to my ipod. Now I have an empty iPod and still can't get my purchased game on to my iPod. Any help?

    Hey mcarroll, how did you get Phase to sync onto your iPod? The same problem occurred with me actually so i probably have to do the same as you did. So, in other words, how did you actually authorize DRM software to be eligible to be synced onto your iPod? Where did you go in settings/preferences that eventually granted you the ability to sync "Phase" onto your iPod? Thanks for letting me know!

  • Sync Problems with External HD, iTunes freezes

    I sync all my music without any problems from teh computer's hard drive (HP Notebook ze4805, AMD Athlon 2800, 512KB, 60GB, XP).
    The photo sync is directed to folder on a Seagate 300GB external hardrive which the computer regognizes and iTunes sees all its subfolders.
    Once the music sync finishes and the photo sync is ready to start the iTunes simply freezes and do not respond anymore. It does not sync one single picture and the external HD is not accesed becuase the activity ligh does not blink at all. I am able to stream from that same external hard drive connected to my main home computer (HP, Intel, 2 GB, 200GB, XP) but I want to have all the photos for faster access on the Apple TV.
    I tried synchronizing one folder at the time instead of the whole 20K pictures but same result.
    Can anyone help me? I have spend many hours trying to figure this one out. Thanks

    I have a 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini with 1GB of DDR2 RAM Memory. My HD is connected via USB 2.0 directly to my computer. It would be really great if you could tell me what might be the problem since my HD crashed again and this is the 3rd time in two months.

  • Is This Even Possible? eDirectory syncing passwords with external RADIUS servers.

    We are currently have a solution that allows us to use a campus RADIUS
    server as the authentication mechanism for accessing the Internet. We want
    to integrate this so users can authenticate with their campus IDs but gain
    access to the Novell server (home directory and printing) using the same
    information.
    Is this even possible?
    So, essentially, we would like the external RADIUS' user/password data to
    be synced with the eDirectory data, but have the eDirectory receive updates
    from the RADIUS (or LDAP, Kerberos or whatever system is necessary). Or is
    an all-Novell solution the only possible way to use RADIUS authentication?
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    -=Bryan

    Hi Bryan,
    As jim said, you can use idm to do this, but another option for you
    might be to use somthing like freeradius and point it back to
    edirectory as its authentication source.
    Cheers,
    Steve
