Transferring captured video directly to PC/Mac

For the last couple of weeks I've used my phone to film a lot of holiday clips. I'd rather not have to upload each one to mobileme which then gets compressed. Is there any software out there where I can just transfer the video clips straight to a PC or mac.

I was also having problems transferring the larger video files but I found out there's an app called VIDEO SAFE in the Apple App store called VIDEO SAFE. I transferred all my larger videos to that app. Then I plugged in my iPhone 4 ios4.0.1 then I opened iTunes on my pc then opened USB extract in my video safe app under settings Then you click on your iPhone in the left of iTunes,then click on apps tab then down half way of the page it will show you the app that will file share with iTunes. Then click on video safe app. Then select a destination to extract them large video files.
It work flawless for me without suffering a video quality.

  • How can I capture video directly into FCP without recording to tape first?

    I hooked my Sony VX2000 to the computer via firewire and opened the Log and Capture dialog box. The video from my camera shows correctly in the preview window.
    I click the Capture Now button and the capture window opens but no video displayed. The message below the window says "Waiting for Timecode".
    I guess the camera doesn't send timecode when it's not recording so I press the record button. Now video shows up in the capture window. After 16 frames it freezes and an error box pops up that says "Capture Now has reached the end of the tape. All existing footage between the point where you started the capture and the end of the tape was captured successfully."
    Foiled again! This has been a problem from time to time when I want to capture video from a source that does not supply timecode.
    Is there any settings I can change to capture video directly from a camera using FCP without having to record it to tape in one step and then capture it in a second step?
    Thanks,

    I thought I had tried that. Thanks, that was the answer.
    I am aware of the danger of not having tape backup. Having worked with the new Panasonic AG-HVX200 it is a chore to free up the P2 cards fast enough to keep from starving the camera crew. Copying the P2 contents to a single hard drive is the practice but leaves the whole shoot at the mercy of a single point of failure.
    As far as my capturing directly to HD, it isn't a problem for short podcasts that could be recreated quickly if lost. Also, I can still record to tape in the camera but avoid the second step of capture when I'm in my edit bay anyway.
    Peace,

  • Capturing Video Direct to hard drive with FCS

    I am using a Canon HX A1 and I am wondering if there is any way of capturing video directly to a hard drive while shooting without using Adobe On Location. Does FC have any functionality in this area or is there any other MAC friendly apps that do this?

    You can capture a live feed with FCE, FCP, QT Pro and several other applications. Connect your camera via Firewire, in FCP, set Device Control to ":Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now.
    NOTE: whenever using a Canon device for capturing of any type, it would be best to make sure that the Canon device is on it's own Firewire bus. You can achieve this by adding a Firewire card (thereby creating a new FW bus) or by capturing only to an internal hard drive.

    Ian's answer is spot on.
    We see this post about once a week so you can scroll down or search the forum and find all of the reasons recording directly to your drive is not recommended.

  • HT3905 Do I still need to install the HD writer AE 4.0 software that came with my Panasonic HC-V500 video camera or can I just upload video directly to my MAC using i-frame and the i-photo program?

    I purchased the Panasonic HC-V500 video camera and it came with the HD AE 4.0 software. Do I still need to install this disc on my MAC or can I upload video directly to my computer by using i-frame and the i-movie program?

    Hi glhiker,
    Your video clips will import directly into iMovie.  It's a great video editing program.  I'll include some quick video tutorials to get you started below:
    Apple - Support - Videos
    When you open the iMovie application, click HELP > iMOVIE HELP on the menu bar to access the manual for the program.  One of the first topics is Importing Video.
    Down the road, you may be interested in our professional video editing application, called Final Cut Pro X.
    A quick overview of the application can be found here:

    Have fun!

  • Can I capture footage directly into a Mac

    Can't seem to find info on how to capture directly from a camera into a Mac using FCP X (10.1). I have a Mac Book Pro and and Imac 27" icore i7. My camera is a Sony NX5U. Is the work flow the same for other camrea's?

    I think they have this covered for you.
    Just to say that what you want to do  is typically referred to as "live capture".
    Good luck.

  • Transferring Captured Video to edit in CS5

    Hi all.
    I am building a new PC for video editing among other uses, and am wondering if it is possible to compile the ways by which captured footage may be transferred to the computer.
    This query pertains to the question of whether my new motherboard should have a Firewire 400 PCI added for an external tape (Sony DSR-11), or NOT.
    So other than using DV and digitising, which looks horrible on any HD screened/carded computer, i am aware of SD and SDHC, but not sure about the difference in terms of the slots necessary for each; if the slot is added externally or may be built into the the motherboard via PCI? And if external, then via USB 2.0, which i understand is a slower mode of media transfer?
    I welcom any info or news on the subject of transferring video from cameras to computers.
    thanks
    great day:)

    Firewire works with DV AVI or HDV from a tape based camera... this is not digitizing, such as I used to do with a Pinnacle Dv500 card and an Analog 8mm sony camera, since the signal on the DV-HDV tape is already digital, and Firewire is simply a glorified serial port that is used to transfer the signal from tape to computer
    Any analog source, such as a VCR, needs to be digitized by a conversion device
    Video from a non-tape camera, be it hard drive or memory card, is also already digital... and is simply copied from camera to computer
    For the AVCHD my camera records, I use Windows Explorer http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0

  • Using an SLR to shoot video directly to Mac hard drive in iMovie?

    I have a project in which I need to shoot training videos which will essentially just be head shots of myself.
    Because I need to be my own cameraman I would like to record the video directly to my Mac's hard drive via iMovie '09 (or iMovie '11 if I upgrade) and frame the shot in my Mac's monitor rather than on a tiny, flipped camera viewfinder.
    Since I want to get the best video quality possible, rather than use my MacBook Pro's internal iSight camera, I plan to purchase an external camera that shoots HD video.
    According to the Apple article at the following link, an external camera can be used in VTR mode as a pass-through for just this purpose — to shoot video directly to the computer's hard drive in iMovie:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/9.0/en/mov39f84285.html
    Now here's where things get a little complicated. I would like my new camera to be an SLR if possible, since beyond shooting these training videos, my next use for the camera would be high-quality still photography.
    Can an SLR be used in this manner to record directly to disk in VTR mode in either iMovie or Quicktime? If so, what where can I find a list of iMovie-compatible SLRs? (I would also welcome specific camera recommendations from any SLR owners who have used them to shoot video directly to disk.)
    Finally, if it is not possible to shoot directly to disk with an SLR, is there an iMovie-compatible HD camcorder that also shoots great photos?
    (MacBook Pro June '10, OS 10.6.8, iMovie 9)

    Thanks. That makes sense. It is not practical for me to use an external monitor for this, so I will look into getting a firewire video camera.
    Forgive my ignorance, but are firewire video cameras still manufactured at the prosumer level? I want the video to look very good, but it does not have to be absolute broadcast quality. My budget tops out around $1500 for this. I need to hook up an external mic for good audio.
    Any recommendations from this list of compatible cameras? The list does not specify which are firewire cameras.:

  • Capturing Analog Video Direct To Mac

    Hey dudes - I hope you are all well and having a good holiday weekend
    I have some shows on a REPLAY-TV box and a TIVO box that I would like to get onto my Mac
    The outputs are S-Video and RCA audio --- I would normally record these shows to a MiniDV tape, but I don't have my deck with me, and I'm trying to digitize them soon
    With that said --- is there a hardware solution out there, that would allow me to plug my Replay and TIVO into my PowerBook, and capture shows directly off of the analog signal? I'm happy to purchase any extra hardware that's necessary - I just want to be pointed in the right direction
    thank you all!!!

    A Canopus product such as the ADVC110 would work.
    Analog in, FIrewire out to the Mac.

  • How can I capture live HD video direct to hard drive?

    Hello,
    My goal is to be able to capture 1080p video from a camcorder direct to the hard drive of a mac. Space is a concern, so ideally this would capture directly to a Mac Mini, but if the only option is to upgrade to a Mac Pro or MacBook Pro (for Thunderbolt), I may be able to work with that. What I know about so far are the offerings from Black Magic:
    1) The H.264 pro recorder: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/h264prorecorder/
    2) and the Ultra Studio 3D: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/ultrastudio3d/
    With the first option, I'm worried about the quality. Ultra Studio 3D is very expensive ($1000) and would require upgrading to a MacBook Pro for Thunderbolt, but I'm open to that if it is the only way to get full 1080p quality.
    I also have read about an app in the Firewire SDK called DHS cap. I haven't been able to try this since the cameras I have access do not have Firewire, but if people have had success with that, then I can purchase a camera that can connect through Firewire.
    The last thing I've read about is Capture Magic HD. I would like to test this as well, but it appears the developers are out of business (their website is down), and i cannot find the software anywhere.
    Any advice about the best way to go about this would be greatly appreciated. I've been googling away and searching forums for days now.

    Really?  You've never opened up the capture window?
    Never since about CS2.
    I have had a tapeless workflow for ever... so never had reason to even take a look at the Capture Window in later versions of Premiere.

  • Transferring home videos to Mac

    I'm new to Mac and want to the easiest method/what equipment I need to transfer tapes through a VHS recorder onto the Mac hard drive in order to edit film and eventually burn DVDs of the final edited product; also direct from video camera tape format onto Mac which I assume is pretty much the same process.
    Any thoughts for a real non-tecchie? And in Noddy language please!

    I was in this same boat about 3 years ago when I first got my mac, partly for this very purpose. I wanted a self contained, easy way to transfer Vhs to DVD with user friendly software. 3 years later, I'm still trying to figure it out and am finally on my way.
    First, as the others mentioned, you will need a DV converter. I just bought a Canopus ADVC 110 and it works pretty slick. As the others mentioned, it is possible to use a DV camera to import the video directly to Imovie, but it sounds like in the UK you may have issues with cameras.
    Another thing to consider is what software to capture the video with.
    I wanted to use Imovie because it was easy and in the Mac to begin with, what I found out after many forum questions and experimenting at home was that Imovie, at least the version I have, only imports every other line of resolution of the videos. So when I captured a home movie from my video camera into IMovie and then used a software program (I used Toast) to make a DVD it looked like garbage on my TV. The verison of Imovie I have however is 08' (I think) so I'm not sure if the new version imports better quality now. I would check on that before you capture/import all your vhs into Imovie only to find out it's going to make your home movies look awful on a TV.
    To combat this, I had to get Final Cut Express which I am now finally starting to learn how to use.
    Once you determine how you are going to get the videos onto the Mac, either DV Converter or the right camera, then you need to decide if your Imovie will give you the right output of image quality, then burning the DVD's isn't too bad.
    IDVD works pretty slick and there are videos you can watch on the Mac website that show you how to use it.
    Like I said, I've used TOAST a few times and it's pretty easy and user friendly as well.
    Hope this helps a little.

  • How do i transferring video from iphone to mac

    how do i transferring video from iphone to mac, i synced it but nothing shows up

    I don't believe OS X has the ability to receive AirPlay (which is what you're using).  There's some advice on the matter on the Wikipedia page, though:

    Scroll down to "Third-party software implementations".

    What does any of this have to do with Java?
    It sounds like you've misconfigured your browser, but I'm not sure what you're even talking about.
    You know that apple.com has all sorts of forums for mac users, right?

    Thanks Tgara.
    Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
    Argh!
    I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
    Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol

  • Capturing HD video directly into my computer using HDD Cam & FCE 3.5

    I have a JVC Everio GZ-HD7. Unfortunately, I didn't realize how "crappy" these HDD cams can be, in time to be able to return it. It records in 4GB sections, which is bad for me because I record at a studio and I can't have songs being cut off all the time and when trying to put together on the timeline on FCE, you notice the millisecond switch from one clip to another, including the audio skip. Now, I had a DV Cam (tape) which came with a program that I connected the cam to the comp using USB and could capture video straight into my computer's HDD. Is there anyway of doing the same thing with my JVC, which has Firewire and USB, using IMovie or FCE, or perhaps even another program (could be cheap too)?? I just need to be able to record entire clips and then edit them in FCE. The GZ-HD7 records in Full HD, 1440CBR and SD, but apparently 1440CBR is the "same thing" as HDV, which should work as if I had a HD Tape Cam. PLEEEASE and help! Ive tried looking everywhere but either I dont type in the correct keywords or there just isnt anything like that. I appreciate it!

    i didnt read this topic too much but maybe youre not recording to the hard disk just the external medi drive... anyway... if your having trouble importing your clips... watch this vid...maybe this will help...
