Using a webcam to capture multi-track video

hi,
i was hoping to use the webcam on my macbook pro to capture multitrack video.
i read here that premiere elements can do it: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WS5CDA0F91-60F1-4b79-ABF6-E9E75F498DB2. html
but asked here and found out that premiere pro can't:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4442004#4442004
i am a member of the creative cloud, but i can't seem to find premiere elements.
is there any way for me to set up the mac so that multi-track video software can capture the webcam? something like camtwist?
one suggestion is for me to go and buy a video camera, however, i'm making overdubbed acappela music -- and i'd never even take a video camera anywhere (because i just take my phone and that's it, i don't like being weighed down with lots of equipment).
so, i'm still kinda thinking there might be a way for me to capture the webcam -- especially since premiere elements looks to be able to do it.
suggestions?
sincerely,
dainis w michel

ok, so knock off that possibility.
any way to use my webcam to record multitrack video?
best,
dainis

Can you do multi track video in motion 5?

We are considering buying Motion 5. Is it possible to do multi track video editing in this program? Thanks.

Motion isn't meant as an editor.
it is a multi-layered 'effects machine'.
imagine it as Photoshop for video ...
you wouldn't use Photoshop to layout a newspaper, wouldn't you?

Multi Track Video Recording

Here is what I am trying to do - someone please tell me if Final Cut Express can do this because I am trying to decide whether to purchase..
I am a musician and would like to record (audio & video) in a 4 way split screen format. The idea would be to record the guitar part, then watch the first track while recording a 2nd, watch the 1st and 2nd while recording a third, and so on. The trick would be to sync the audio and video together.
Can I capture and do all that within FCE?
If not - anyone have any insights on how to do this on a mac?
Thanks!!!

Hello
If you have overheating problem the best thing you can do is to clean up the unit and remove dust. I have had similar situation on my P20. After cleaning the unit was much quieter and cooling fan was running slowly and not on maximum speed.
While scanning runs the CPU and HDD are under pressure and produce more warmness. Without properly cleaning the temperature grows up and when the limit is reached the unit simply shuts off. Clean the unit properly. You can also try to place the unit on higher position (4 books to have 3 or 3 cm distance between notebook and the desk).
Using more RAM is very good idea. You will see that notebook performance to handle with many operations at the same time will be much better. It is really good investment.

"Capture device offline" - using Logitech webcam 9000

I am wanting to capture video using my Logitech webcam 9000, but I get "Capture device offline" in Adobe Premiere Pro when I attempt to capture video. Could someone provide some guidance on how to get this to work?
I used this webcam to capture video in Corel Visual Studio just fine, but I am having issues in Adboe.
thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Given that hardware, I would just continue using Corel. You can Export from it, or perhaps that would be a Save operation (do not know that software), and then Import those files into PrPro for editing.
I do not even think that OnLocation will be suitable for the hardware.
Good luck,

I want to use my webcam on Facebook but cannot find adobe flash, anyone know how I get it ?

I want to use my webcam on my ipad for video calls on facebook. Facebook asks me to get adobe flash but I cannot find it for ipad can anyone tell me how to get it ?

There is no Flash for the iPad. Some folks use apps such as Skyfire, which offer access to Flash through remote servers, but it's capacity is limited. You might be able to use video calls on the Facebook app for iPad.

Creating Multi-Angle Video?

hey All,
Blu-ray and some dvds have the abilty to do multi-angle video. I was wondering if there is anyway to create multi-angle video files for a media-less (no dvd/blu-ray) playback. Where the user could open a video file and click a button to get to the other angle?
Any help would be appreciated or how-tos.
thanks.

ask the experts at the Quicktime board
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/quicktime?view=discussions
afair, at last the older Qtplayer app 7 offered a 'switchable' tracks/'angles' feature.
for switchable tracks on a website based video, helpful html5-gurus will explain that.
finally, FCPX doesn't - best to my knowledge - export multi track videos.
but it's 'versions'/alternatives feature

would allow a somewhat simple way to create a project in same 'structure' and length (to synch the diff tracks) but offering diff. shots.

I currently capture HD 1080i video from my Handycam using iMovie 11, then convert the .mov files to .mp4 using Aunsoft Video Converter. Then view the videos on apple tv. The quality is definitely lacking. Not sure if the loss of qulaity is from using iMovie 11 or the Aunsoft software. Any ideas on how to capture HD qulaity video and view on Apple TV?

Can't start video, try closing other programs that might be using your webcam

I am using skype on win8. It was perfectly fine until last week. This message "can't start video, try closing other programs that might be using your webcam" is always there. I investigated this problem in the forum. I did this but it did not help at all. I checked nothing was using webcam! Try to reset skype settings Exit Skype : From the system tray >> right click on the skype icon and click "Quit Skype" Click Start >> Run Type: %appdata% Rename folder "Skype" to "Old_Skype" Re-run Skype
I tried some other chatting software and it gives me the same problem. However, the metro app camara is working perfectly fine. I have the latest driver and I also tried another webcam from logitech and it gives the same problem!!!!

Most likely this is one of the registry keys that need to be modified. However, be very careful when you make any changes to your Registry Database. Make always a copy of this data base before making any changes, so you can always revert to the original settings if something will go wrong. The relevant keys are these that refer to Imaging devices. On my system I have 3 such devices: Logitech c920 webcam, LifeCam VX-5000 webcam and CanoScan LiDE 25 Scanner. The last is installed but not currently connected to the computer. You can make a search in your registry database using this item: imaging devices. For all the items I could find on my system, the main key of the type, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00X\Control\Class\{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F} was looking like this: There is neither LowerFilters nor UpperFilters value defined. You can open the subkeys of the type 0000, 0001, 0002, etc. and see what device they are referring to.

If I use a sound clip in the multi-track editor multiple times; is there a way to reverse the clip w

If I use a sound clip in the multi-track editor multiple times; is there a way to reverse the clip without change all the instances where the clip was used in the same multi-track session?
I'm having to copy the clip rename it as clipreverses.wav then bring it back into audition to use it.
Sony Vagas you can flip the same clip on a different track with a right click and not affect any other copies of that clip.

Not that I'm aware of, no. You can easily make a unique copy of a clip (right-click on it, and you get it already saved for you), and I'd say that having this was more flexible in one way, at least, as you could then time-stretch it if you wanted to, without altering all other instances of it. Not saying that there wouldn't be any point in having a reverse-play option - I can see instances where it might be useful. It's just that it's not exactly difficult to achieve this anyway, which is probably why I don't ever recall a request for it!

How to use a webcam with Labview8,Vision 8 in motion tracking?

I have a webcam and Labview 8, Vision Assistant Module 8, NI IMAQ for USB Cameras. What I concern is how to use a webcam in motion tracking? Should I just use Vision assistant or use it in combination with Labview? Do I need any other support?

4,
Thanks for your post. Vision Assistant is a good software package to prototype your system, but it does not give you access to all Vision methods. LabVIEW is much more powerful allowing full access to Vision. You may want to use Vision Assistant to play with the algorithms (you can use your mouse to set regions of interest, etc) and then once you find the methods and parameters that work, implement the code in LabVIEW.

I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as tambourine? its really annoying

I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as the tambourine coming out with a really distorted sound. I've managed to record over the top of a guitar before and add diferent riffs and sounds but I've tried all of the settings but its still not working. Basically I want to record different tracks without it recording my previous guitar riffs as well. Help would really be appreciated.

Ah that was it, thanks a lot common sense really but thanks for the help

Can ATV play multi layered video track .mov files?

Hi all,
Front Row 2 cannot play multi layered video track .mov files for now,
so I wonder if an ATV take 2 can play .mov files with 2 or more video track?

HeyJP wrote:
yeah, so far, it looks like it has to be pretty vanilla. Only a single h.264 track and an audio track.
The new 5.1 rentals supposedly have 2 audio tracks - stereo for devices that can't handle 5.1 via HDMI and presmably to give stereo audio out via the RCA sockets, and the 5.1 passthrough.
It may be that with time more fucntionality will be added to movie playback, but I'm not holding my breath.

How do I route audio from a YouTube video to AU Lab using SoundFlower so that I can capture the YouTube video's sound stream?

How do I route audio from a YouTube video to AU Lab using SoundFlower so that I can capture the YouTube video's sound stream?

Attach camera via USB or put card in card reader.
Go to FCP, and go to the Log and TRANSFER window.
If FCP recognizes the card, you will see your clips listed on the left.
You can view them, set Ins and Outs, and import just what you want.
Once you choose a section of video and import it, FCP converts (transcodes) from its original camera format to Apple ProRes422 - a more edit friendly video file.

How to use Overwrite edit to change graphics in Video Track 2

Just finished editing a project. Have people (interviewees) in Video track 1, titles (to identify the people) in Video track 2, a watermark logo in Video track 3.
The titles (imported from PowerPoint) just got changed on me, so I re-imported revised PowerPoint slides and want to use Overwrite edit to replace the old titles with the new ones in Video track 2.
But when I use Overwrite edit, it automatically places the video into Track 1. How do I set it to Track 2 instead?

On ther left side of the Timeline, set the target to Video Track 2.
