Tethered capture window problem in LR3

Suddenly, images captured shooting tethered (Canon 1DS MkII, Lightroom 3.2) don't appear automatically in my viewing window; I have to click on each thumbnail. Have shot tethered with LR3 since it was available. Auto advance is checked, still no luck. Have upgraded to 3.3 and the problem lives on. Suggestions?

I can see how that can be confusing. Here's the full list of supported cameras for tethering.  http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html
Long story short, Adobe use the camera manufacturer's SDK, so support is usually waiting on Canon.  They've recently updated their SDK but there are some crashes which they have yet to fix, before Adobe can do too much, so we don't have an idea on date yet, sorry.

  • Problems shooting in tethered capture with Lightroom 4.4 using Nikon D7000.

    I've been shooting in tethered capture mode for about one year with few problems until recently. I'm using Lightroom 4.4 in conjuction with a Nikon D7000.  Operating system is Windows 7, 32 bit.    I'm now getting a dialog box mssg stating: "A captured file could not be saved.  Your drive may be full, or may no longer be accessible."   Both of the drives that I use have tons of remaining storage space available.  Any suggestions on how I should start the trouble shooting process with this problem would be greatly appreciated!

    Files are being saved to being saved to the hard drive of my computer (Windows 7, 32 bit operating system) and to and external hard drive.  As I mentioned both drives have plenty of additional storage space available.  I should also mention that many times when attempting Tether Capture the dialog box stating "A captured file could not be saved" does not appear at all.  At those times Lightroom simply does not recognize the camera. 
    Thus far I have taken the following steps as instructed in "Lightroom Help / Troubleshoot teetered capture in Lightroom" :
       1.  Make sure that you're using the most recent version of Lightroom - DONE
       2.  Make sure that your camera is supported (did this previously at the time I started using tethered capture).
       3.  Turn the camera on and off - DONE
       4. Turn off the camera and the computer -DONE
       5.  Try a different USB cable and USB port -DONE
       6.  Check your hard disk for space - DONE
       7.  Reset Lightroom preferences - DONE
       8.  Make sure your camera's firmware is up to date - DONE
       9.  Close applications that could be causing a conflict -  DONE
    10.  Check that the transfer mode in the camera is set appropriately - DONE
    11.  Search Adobe Community Help for a support document on your camera - DONE
    12.  Try tethered shooting with another application -  I TRIED TETHERED SHOOTING ON A DIFFERENT
            COMPUTER AND IT WORKED JUST AS IT SHOULD.
    I'm wondering if the problem I am having is related more to the operating system than to Lightroom.  I say this because at the time that I first set up tethered capture there were some obstacles related to the Windows 7 operating system that I had to overcome. 
    At any rate I need additional ideas - this is driving me crazy!

  • LR3 Tethered Capture Support for Nikon D60 and D80

    I was very excited when I heard that LR3 had finally added tethered capture. So I sat down today to cover the LR tutorial at http://www.photoshopuser.com/lightroom3/. As I watched, I set up my Nikon on my tripod with flash, just beaming with anticipation. I connected to my computer via the USB cable and opened tethered capture in LR3. The 'heads up display' opened as advertised, but it showed 'No Camera Detected'. So, after visiting several forums and Adobe Help, I found that my Nikon D80 was not supported for tethered capture.
    Dang!
    Does anyone know if Adobe is going to add support for the D80, as well as the D60?
    Thanks.

    does Adobe plan on adding it as a compatible camera anytime soon?
    Doubtless Adobe knows, but this is a user to user forum, so I wouldn't hold your breath for anything formal from Adobe here except "eventually". Maybe.

  • PROBLEMS SETTING MASTER GAIN IN CAPTURE WINDOW

    I am having problems capturing audio at optimum levels.
    In other words my audio levels in my log and capture window
    do not match the output of my tape (bars and tone).
    To be more specific:
    I am capturing from a Sony Beta deck (BetaCam SP).
    The tape has Bars and Tone. I am running the audio signal through
    my Mackie CR1604 audio mixer in order to control levels going into FCP.
    The signal goes out from the 1604 into my AjA IO then out of AjA IO into
    my MacG5 via the Fire Wire connection.
    I have the Mackie levels set at 0 (zero unity gain) just below the
    point of clipping using the tone from the Beta Tape.
    My first thought was to boost the input in FCP using the Master Gain
    setting in the log and capture / clip settings tab.
    My problem was that the meters in my capture window (clip settings tab)
    were greyed out. Well I found a way to access them by changing
    my settingsby way of the following path:
    Audio Video Settings / Capture Presets / Preset Editor. In the Preset Editor
    I changed the QuickTime Audio settings device from Pro IO (AjA Io) to
    Built-In audio. This allows access to the Master Gain slider in the log and
    capture window.
    No good...I can not get the audio levels in the capture window to match
    the levels on my Mackie 1604. They should match.
    (they are way too low and the Master Gain slider is maxed out)
    Please help!!!!!
    Michael Kraus / mak design co.

    I need the Mackie 1604 mixer to boost or lower audio levels.
    Lets say I have a Beta tape (or any tape/media) with bars and tone set to Zero db.
    Thats great BUT what if the videographer had some areas in the tape
    where levels were too high / hot or too low. The Mackie allows me to
    boost or lower levels.
    As for the headache of re-digitize/ re-capture....I see your point but it is usually
    not a big problem. Especially since most of my tapes have tone at the head
    of the tape set at zero db for me to "calibrate" to. The audio on the remainder
    of the tape does not surpass zero db most of the the time (in a perfect world).
    There are some times where the world is not so perfect and I need to
    adjust levels.
    My problem is that the levels out of the Mackie output and the levels
    of the FCP / AjA IO input are different enough for there to be some concern.
    I am in a sense doing what you are doing on the deck using the Mackie.
    This is the way I always went about things when I ran my Avid video editor
    and never had a problem. I am certain there are many people using the same
    approach.
    The bottom line is there is some kind of drop off in levels going into FCP via
    the AjA IO.
    I appreciate your input...Thank you!
    Let me know if you have any other ideas.

  • Timecode problem in capture window

    I don't know if it has anything to do again with JVC GY HD format, but I found  that the timecode of the captured material on tape goes different then in the capture window. I'm recordin HDV 720p50 and on one hand when capturing a 10 min video, it shows me in the upper part of the capture window that it arrived at 20 min, on the other hand when I go frame by from forward in capture window tape control, on the tape it goes 2 frames at a time... even if in the lower left corner of the capture window it shows the right timecode (as on tape) it conts 25 frames for one second, skipping every second frame. I don't know if it has something to do with failing scene detection, but I feel it's normal that it can't do it if it doesn't count right the frames...
    Another problem I found in the source window. when I put the captured video there it starts the timecode at 08:06:40:00 insted of 00:00:00:00 but at least it shows 50 frames per second...
    Why isn't Adobe able to manage properly a 720p50 capture?????????????????

    Is there any idea???????????

  • Tethered Capture with 3.4.1 x64 and D7000

    Hello everybody,
    I am starting this discussion about issues with Tethered Capture with LR 3.4.1 and Nikon D7000.
    I tested the Capture on 3 different PCs: a Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and two Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    I can properly do capture with the 32bit version of LR, even thought I am no longer able to browse the files on the SD card after a shooting session with Tether. I suppose this has something to do with exclusive access priority, but this is actually not the big problem I am encountering.
    On Windows 7 x64 machines, it appears LR 64bit is not able to do Tethered Capture as in the capture window I only see "No camera detected".
    I did a search on the Internet and I found just a few examples of this issue with apparently no explanation or solutions, but I think this is a general problem as it happens on two different Windows 7 x64 installations, but not on the 32bit one.
    My D7000 already has the latest firmware installed and I already tried different USB cables to be sure this is not a hardware malfunction.
    I am now really lost to this problem and I do not know how to proceed in troubleshooting or solving it.
    Anybody can help?
    Thanks a lot and have a nice day

  • Tethered Capture stopped working –"No Camera Detected"

    Windows 7 (64bit)
    Lightroom 3.3
    Canon 7D – Latest firmware 1.2.3
    Yesterday I had Tethered Capture working a treat. No problems at all.
    Today I have attempted to use it – exactly the same set up as yesterday and Lightroom refuses to see the camera – it just says “No Camera Detected” in the Tethered Capture pop-up.
    Windows can see the camera, and shows the CF card content in Windows Explorer. The Canon utility can see the camera. Even Lightroom can see the camera and can import from the CF card in the camera.
    Whenever the USB cable is connected, if I look through the viewfinder and press the shutter a flashing busy light comes up, and no photo is taken. Makes me wonder what the camera is doing? Is it perhaps looking for an application on the PC to talk to?
    Yesterday it was running fine with the USB cable plugged into a hub, I tried with it connected directly to the PC but it didn’t help.
    I even tried removing power from the PC and restarting Windows – that usually fixes anything :-)
    I have Googled and searched these forums but have found nothing that helps.
    Is this an Adobe problem, a Canon problem – or am I doing something daft?
    Anyone any thoughts?
    Many thanks,
    RzB

    OK - so today I bring the camera and tripod back to the PC today, and hey presto - is all starts working again.
    The PC had not even been restarted since it wasn't working yesterday.
    Anyone got any ideas why it might not have been working yesterday?
    Thanks,

    Lightroom 5 does not detect my Nikon D600 in tethered capture. I have tried turning the camera off then on and also turned the computer off then on.  I am using windows 7.  Anyone have any ideas?

    I am having the same problem with both my D610 and my D800.  Both worked fine in the past.  In both cases, I can import files from the camera via 'Import', so I know the USB connection to the computer is fine, but Neither camera is detected during tether.

  • "Unable to capture window image"

    if I select a window to be screenshot, I get this error:
    Your screen shot can’t be saved.
    Unable to capture window image.
    (shortcut: cmd-shift-4 and then space)
    It seems to be new in Lion. Never had that problem before. And regular screenshots seem to work fine (cmd-shift-3).
    Thanks for any help! ~ Kai

    Thanks Davide ...
    I created com.apple.screencapture.plist with Terminal and restarted the Mac.
    The first couple of window screenshots worked on a Chrome browser window (command-shift-4, then space bar). But it did not work on other app's windows (Finder, Carousel).
    Then I switched back to Chrome and I didn't work there too anymore. Crazy thing is that now it works on Finder windows. Very very strange.
    All this is only true for capturing a whole window content (command-shift-4, then space bar)

  • What is the size of capture window for MX440-VTD8X?

    I am trying to figure out how best to resize video I have captured with my MX440-VTD8X. For the application I am using (AVISynth) I need to calculate the PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), for this I need to know the size of the capture window for my video capture card.
    I think that this card uses a Philps SAA-7114H, although I cannot be certain as MSI don't seem to publish this fact anywhere. (I found a few references to the 7114 via Google so that is the best lead I have had so far).
    Anyway, even if I knew it used a 7114H that doesn't much help as I can't find any published data that tells me what the capture window (in microseconds) is for this card. The WDM driver might modify the window so how, so I can't just look it up in the datasheet for the 7114H.
    I am looking for figures for the capture window for both PAL and NTSC,
    could someone please help?
    many thanks,
    Kevin

    To quote from the article I have been using which gives step-by-step instructions on how to calculate to aspect ratio ..
    (Pixel Aspect Ratio, Source Aspect Ratio and Target Aspect Ratio)
    "To determine your source PAR, you first have to know what the aspect ratio of the capture window of your capture device is. This capture window is fixed, but again it is rarely exactly 4:3. The device always digitizes the same area of your video and resizes it to the size you set in your capture application. The raw captured height is always 480 lines for NTSC and 576 for PAL. The width of the capture window has to be determined. A table with known values (and a more elaborate explanation) can be found in section 5.4. A method for determining this value yourself can be found in chapter 11.
    Once you know the capture window width, the Image Aspect Ratio of your device can be calculated as:
    PAL IAR = (4 / 3) * ([window width in µs] / 52.0 µs) / (576/576)
    NTSC IAR = (4 / 3) * ([window width in µs] / 52.6555 µs) / (480/486) "
    The 'window width' is given for some capture cards in the guide, but unfortunately not the MSI one I am using, and the 'window width' does vary from one type of capture card to another.
    Without this information I am at a brick wall. There is a method to determine the window by using a PAL DVD player as the source video, playing some test image, the problem is that I only have an NTSC DVD player so I can't use that technique,
    this is something that the manufacturer must know, but unfortunately they rarely publish it,

  • Fujifilm Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

    Hi!
    Today Fujifilm shared "Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®". And they shared only 1 exe file, which i can't open on my Mac=). I try open it on PC, but it can't open without HS-V5 ( i needn't it, because it work only on Windows)
    They write:
    To use "Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®" you need to purchase "Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 5".
    *For customers who don't have the HS-V5, "FUJIFILM Tether Shooting Plug-in" will be able to be purchased at Adobe Exchange site."
    So...i already purchased Adobe CC for photographers. I try find it in Adobe Exchange, but doesn't find it.
    May be somebody know anything?
    Or may be somebody knows about tethering future with fujifilm X-T1 in new Lightroom 6?

    The current situation seems to be this:
    You are licensed to use the plug-in on a Mac or a Windows PC if you have purchased and installed H5-VS software.   Since H5-VS is only a Windows product the download for the plug-in is a Windows EXE because when you run that EXE it'll check for the H5-VS software installation and if it doesn't see it, it'll stop, so to be successful in extracting the Mac plug-in you have to use a Windows PC and have purchased some Windows software.
    You can examine the contents of the LRPLUG.EXE by renaming it to something like LRPLUGIN.EXE.ZIP and opening it with 7ZIP; however, the contents aren't something where you can just extract and run w/o the license check.
    The only way forward seems to be to purchase the H5-VS software and install it on Windows and then download and run the LRPLUG.EXE on that same Windows computer to extract the plug-in installers, and then run those on the appropriate platform.
    However, the H5-VS software doesn't appear to be for sale, anywhere, although the Fuji people do seem to hint they will have a solution at some point in the near future--perhaps it is only available in Japan ATM.
    Most of this information was gleaned from the download page for the plugin, here:
    Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® (Windows 8 / 8.1 / 7 SP1, Mac OS X 10.7-10.10) | Fujifilm Glob…
    Which is the page you get to after agreeing to the terms and conditions of downloading the plug-in from this page:
    Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® (Windows 8 / 8.1 / 7 SP1, Mac OS X 10.7-10.10) | Fujifilm Glob…
    The bottom line is that while the tethering plug-in is for both a PC and a Mac the licensing dependency is on a Windows-only program so the plug-in installers are contained within a Windows-only program and the missing link is how to acquire the required H5-VS Windows program to satisfy the licensing requirement for the plug-in packaging utility so it'll extract the plug-in installers for each platform.
    From what the pages, say, there is also going to be a version of the plug-in available on Adobe Exchange that won't require having H5-VS already, I guess, but that is not available, yet, either, so lots of announcements, and mostly a lack of follow-through..

  • CS5 DV capture/playback problems  "Feel like I am hitting my head on a wall"

    Ok, I am still trying to get our commercial production editor working as intended so our creative services person can make the full switch to the new machine.  Right now he is half editing on his 7 year old Pinnacle Liquid system that is dying.  My fear is a Hard drive will fail again in that old thing and he won't be ready to fully edit on this New system...
    Up till now in my other posts I have had issues with Playback and capture problems with a Blackmagic SDI card.  Not sure if it is incompatibility with my motherboard or lack of support from Blackmagic but playback was dropping frames if we used GPU acceleration. We also had the problems of pixel shift when doing dissolves on the timeline that are documented on Creative Cow as an ongoing problem that Blackmagic seems unwilling to fix. Also had problems with long format captures....
    My system is currently as follows:
    Asus P6T7 Supercomputer
    i7-950 CPU
    12 GB memory tripple channel
    500 GB 7200 RPM boot drive
    3 1 TB drives in a Raid 5 (2 TB usable space) for scratch  (originally had 4 1 TB in Raid 0, one died and is out for warranty)
    Out of frustration with the blackmagic card, and the fact that we are only editing to/from DVCAM SD, I decided to pull the card and go to a simple FireWire setup as that is what our newsrooms use to DSR-11 and DSR-25 decks.
    Because This editor uses a DSR-1800 full size deck and was always tied to the Pinnacle via SDI/AES, I wanted to stay in that format. This was why I chose the Decklink SDI in the first place.
    I picked up a used Firewire card for the DSR-1800. ($299 off of e-bay, originally a $1500 card)
    I figured if this worked I could sell the Decklink SDI and be about even.
    Now with the Decklink uninstalled and the firewire card connected, we are having new problems...
    The capture from DV works as normal, but when you hit stop on a capture there is a very long delay.. 20 seconds to 3-5 minutes before premiere will pop up the "name this clip"...  this does not happen on the DSR-11/25 decks in news.(they are much slower AMD Phenome II systems with 4 GB memory)
    When I playback to the DSR-1800, it takes the deck 10-20 seconds to switch back to the iLink input.  He switches the deck back and forth to other inputs for dub over from DVD and when he edits on the Liquid system.  once it switches it plays fine....
    Has anyone have experience editing from a DSR-1800 over firewire?  I knew the option was there but have no experience using this setup.
    I don't have any idea what would cause the major delay from the time we hit stop on a capture.  No frames are dropped in the capture window and everything else seems to be working fine.  We are not using deck control just clicking record and play on the deck and then stopping the capture when we are done.
    The other problem, I wanted him to be able to use the $1600 Quadro 4800 video card so all renders would be quick and he would not have to wait like he did on the liquid system (everything rendered...)
    The blackmagic Decklink SDI would drop frames playing out SD-SDI.  I know SD-SDI is uncompressed format and I guess the issue could be just not enough disk speed to feed that output or there is a bottleneck in the PCIe buss.  But now I found that DV does not allow GPU either, so he can't play the timeline with the GPU acceleration on at all.  What a waste of $1600 on that video card if he can never use it!!!!!!
    So as you can see I feel stuck.  Can't seem to get any answers from Adobe or Blackmagic.  now the budget has been slashed for this year and there is probably no chance I can try new hardware on anything...
    At this point I may switch back to the Decklink card and add another hard drive to put the windows page file on. Harm has said load balancing across the system will speed things up.
    My OS disk is much slower as a single 500 GB than the raid 0 was when I used the disk speed test.  Sorry for such a long post but more information should help people know all I am dealing with..
    Thank you,
    Mark

    Darren, I did run that test when we were using the 4TB Raid 0 for Scratch.  The raid was much faster than the boot drive.  I also found that he had some files on the C: drive.  He has a Share on there with Photo's and logo's he works on in Photoshop.
    I am wondering if I should have two Raids.  One Raid 0 with two 250 GB drives for Boot, and then Raid 5 for the other three 1TB drives giving a 2 TB Scratch.   That way there is some redundancy for scratch material. Only problem with that plan is if either Raid0 drive fails I lose the OS/installation...
    Probably follow Harm's Drive setup advice and put the OS on 1 drive and have the Raid 5 for the others but move the Page file to either another spare drive or the Raid 5 array.
    I also think his Media Cache is in the default space(hidden in common files under the user on the C: drive) knowing that is all the conforming audio files and such, it is probably causing the dropped frames when playing through the SDI out with GPU acceleration.  GPU off and rendering always worked other than the shift of a frame when doing dissolves.
    I think that with optimising the services through Win7 and turning off anything we don't need.
    We are on a Domain and that automatically installs the Enterprise Antivirus. Does that cause problems?  Also he runs as a user, should running as an Admin be a must?  The main reason it is on the Domain is so he can have his e-mail accessible but that is not a big issue.  What do you recommend?
    I can remove from the Domain and have this a stand alone machine if that will allow me to turn off more stuff, and stop the anti-virus from running realtime scanning. Is there an antivirus you recommend? I usually like AVG free or Avast, and with these you can turn off the realtime and only have them run while at night when the system is not being used.

  • Can't get LR5 tethered capture to work for 70D - EOS utility won't install

    I am attempting to setup tethered capture on a macbook pro with Mavericks, Lightroom 5 and a Canon 70D.
    Lightroom 5 tethered capture alternates between "no camera detected" to "Canon EOS 70D" a few times and then posts the following error:
    "Tethered Capture is not able to connect with the camera Canon EOS 70D (error code Canon EOS 70D). Please try restarting Tethered Capture or relaunching Adobe Photoshop Lightroom."
    After browing for a solution, some have suggested that need to install the latest EOS utility software.
    The EOS utility CD (ver. 28.2) that came with the camera will not install. I can browse the CD, see the files, etc. but when riunning the installation the installer appears on the dock for a split second, disappears and no error is given.
    I downloaded the latest software from the Canon website, but it is upgrade only software.
    I found an old EOS utility CD and it installed fine on the laptop.
    I then attempted to upgrade the software by using the new CD as well as the upgrade file from the Canon website.
    No matter what method I use, I still get the same results. I click on the installer, it appears on the dock for a second, disappears and nothing is installed.
    If anybody has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Do I need the EOS utility software installed to perform tethered capture in LR5 with a 70D? If so, why won't it install?
    Thank you,
    Larry

    "Do I need the EOS utility software installed to perform tethered capture in LR5 with a 70D?"
    The answer to this question is, no.  However I am not a Mac user but many of my Mac friends complain of problems with Mavericks and LR and possibly EOS Utility.  Canon has full d/l availibe for you instead of just the upgrade. They are also on the site. (at least for Win machines)
    You may need to find a Mac site to help you with this.  Sorry I am of little help.

  • Preview doesn't show up in the capture window

    When trying to capture, the video preview doesn't show up in the capture window, only the color bars. I am able to run my transport with the buttons and the key commands, so I know the Canon ZR500 is really communicating (easy setup: DV-NTSC), via firewire. My scratch disk is a G-Raid hooked up through the firwire 800 input. The crazy thing is, it worked only one time. I've wasted one whole day and this morning, restarting, rebooting, unplugging, different tapes, etc. Next step is takew my entire setup to the so-called Genius Bart and see if Apple's Geniuses know anything about Apple software. Frustrating as ****. I will never buy Apple again.

    Careful about editorializing. There are lots & lots of Mac users who are successfully capturing from Canon camcorders. I am one of them, and have never had a problem. So there is something in your setup that needs to be uncovered, it's not FCE or Canon per se.
    One observation, you have a small hard drive (100GB) and even though you appear to have 59GB free, that's actually not a lot of space. One hour of DV consumes about 13GB and during capture the Mac temporarily needs nearly 2x that space, which means your system is using the 'inner' cylinders of the hard drive, where performance slows down; this could explain your dropped frames problem. Can you move some stuff off your system HD onto your G-RAID (say, your iPhoto and iTunes libraries if you are using those apps, they often take a lot of disk space)?

Maybe you are looking for
