Way to use Live video (from camcorder) as a background?

Hello.
I was wondering if there's any way to use live video (from camcorder) as a background using Keynote.
I am trying to add caption/subtitle on live video to projector.

I haven't tried this myself recently (the last time I tried it, the delay was frozen to no less than 3 seconds), but a user in this thread said he got the delay down to .1 seconds by using QuickTime Broadcaster and altering the .sdp file.
This technique uses Broadcaster to make your computer stream to itself and use the stream file in Keynote.

Can't Open Videos From Camcorder on Macbook Pro

I recently moved several videos from my camcorder to my desktop. The file extension is .MOD and I can't figure out how to open them on my laptop. I had no problem opening and viewing them on my HP desktop but am having no success on my Mac. I am fairly new to Macs so this could be a very basic fix that I'm not aware of. Any directions/suggestions woudl be appreciated.

Hi Katherine,
You'll need to save it to a different format to use it on a Mac. If you can still open them on the HP, that would probably be the easiest. Save them as a Mac compatible format such as .mpg. If that doesn't work, here is a converter you can try: http://www.squared5.com/

Pic and video from camcorder to iphone????

i have a HUD hard disk drive JVC camcorder made by Everio. It syncs directly to my pc using USB. I was wondering is there any way to transfer pic and video from my camcorder to my iphone either direct from camera or from the sync center on my pc for the camera.

There isn't a way to sync directly to the iPhone from your camcorder.
Once you get the pics/movies to your computer, though, it is possible. The movies need to be imported into iTunes and then synced to the phone. As for the pictures, you need to consolidate them into one folder and then from the Photos tab in iTunes (when you click on the iPhone icon on the left menu bar) you select the folder those photos are in to sync to the phone.

Cannot play/edit video from camcorder (Sony)

I am using iMovie 11 (latest version) under Lion on a 17" MBP with 8gb RAM. There are two scenarios I have followed to edit video from my Sony HDR-CX150 camcorder:
I import directly into iMovie from the camera using a USB cable. The program finds the video files, imports them into clips, and they appear in the clip area of the program's screen.
I read the files into a folder and convert them to .mp4 files using Video-Converter from Wondershare. I then import the mp4 clips into iMovie with the same results as in 1.
In both cases, when I attempt to play a clip, is starts, I heart the sound for about 3-5 seconds, after which it mutes. The video does not play; the playback pane continues to show the first frame of the clip. If I scrub along the clip, however, I see the video play and hear the audio. I know that Apple says they don't support this Sony camera in iMovie, but it seems that it should at least support .mp4 clips as I create with Video-Converter.
I have tried recording in HD and Standard modes, to no avail. Quicktime plays the clips without a hitch. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Your '''''More System Details''''' doesn't show Adobe Flash as being installed! Did you install the Plugin version of Flash? Or did you just update the ActiveX version of Flash which is used only by Internet Explorer?

Importing Digital8 Video from Camcorder

I am having problems importing digital8 video from a Sony camcorder. The import process starts out fine with each clip tagged with the correct date the video was shot. At some point, the import process results in a clip for each second or so of video, meaning that there is a thumbnail for each second or so. I notice that the affected clips have a errant year code - 65590. Any thoughts on what is causing the problem, and what I can do to fix the problem?

hey there Beverly,
i had a similar issue when i got my 1st MiniDV cam & i couldn't import because i hadn't installed the battery to set the clock & calendar. coming from analog cam, i didn't care about superimposing the time & date on my footage. so, then i actually read the user manual, found that little bit of info about the button battery.

Downloading video from camcorder

Can't seem to get my MacBookPro to pick up and read my video from my HDR-HC7 camera. The drivers available are only for PC. Mac shouldn't need a driver. Any suggestions?

Hi rsickels,
welcome to apple video forum.
You don't need a driver for that, just need a 4 pin to 6 pin firewire cable and connect that to your macbookpro.
After that, launch iMovie and switch the button from scissor icon to camera icon as described in this thread wonderfully by EZ Jim:

Good Luck.

How do I undelete video from camcorder

I have a faulty sdhc card and all my videos kept erasing when I started filming again. It looks like there is software that can recover it but at a cost of around $50. It seems steep for a few videos. Is there some other way?

lubrom wrote:
… Is there some other way?
there is, which once saved my a**, when I was a 101% sure to erase a clip on my SDcard in-camera and 5min later I knew, that was a once-in-a-lifetime shot:
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
it is no real 'Mac Program'! it is some Terminal marvel.
follow the description step by step, otherwise you're lost.
I had no idea, what I did, but after entering some letters and hitting half a dozen time enter, Photorec starts to undelete anything on that media.
in my case, among the one clip I needed, a year old clip, which still existed in some hidden corner of that chip - awesome and a bit frightened, too.
as far as I remember, any meta-data is lost, but the 'video' (or photo) is reconstructed.
please try to help yourself, I can not give any help - I'm a Macuser for about 30 years, Terminal, Unix, Command Lines are not my world. but, it works, promised!
btw: and it's free ........

Unable to import video from camcorder into iMovie HD

I am using a Mac mini PowerPC G4 (1.5). I recently bought a Sony Handycam DCR-DVD 106E camcorder that uses DVD discs. The camcorder has no Firewire (iLink) output so I have inserted the DVD into my external DVD writer/player. I can play the footage via the Mac Mini's DVD player software but I cannot import the video clips into iMovie HD.
The icons on the DVD appear to be PC files and are not compatible. Does anyone know how I can take off the footage I have shot and get it into iMovie HD, please?
My secondary thought is that maybe I need to be able to convert the footage clips into Quicktime files, maybe, but I don't know how to go about this, if, indeed, that is the solution.
Please, please help
regards, Huguenot

Your camcorder is incompatible with iMovie 5, which is designed to use DV streams from tape, imported via firewire.
If your camcorder uses DVD disks it likely produces files in mpeg2 format, which is the standard, compressed, final delivery format of a DVD and is not intended for further editing, and cannot be imported into iMovie 5.
I am a bit puzzled as to why you chose that camcorder!
Ideally you should take it back and exchange it for a camcorder that records onto mini DV tape and which has a firewire output.
As it is, firstly you cannot import the footage due to lack of firewire. Secondly, in order to use iMovie at all you will have to convert the mpeg2 files into a DV files which is what iMovie uses.
For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
But any way you do it, there will be penalty in terms of quality.

IMovie nor Final Cut Pro will import video from camcorder

Both iMovie 10.0.5 and the Final Cut Pro Trial I just downloaded (to test before purchasing) will not import my movie. The movie plays on my camcorder and it plays in both iMovie and Final Cut but when I click to import, a message appears in the top right corner that reads: NO DATA FROM DEVICE.
Once again, the movie plays on the camera AND plays on the screen. But there is nothing recorded into an event and no file / data transferred to the computer.
I searched the support forums and tried a freeware named DEBUT. It worked but the video playback was very poor, scratchy and blurry.
Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.9.5
Camera Sony DCR-TRV460 (8MM, Digial 8, Hi8 tapes)
Firewire 4 pin to Firewire 800 cable, into Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor, into iMac.
How do I get these old tapes into iMovie or Final Cut for editing?

I don't think I can help with your Digital 8 directly into iMovie 10.0.5 or FCPX, but try a few work-arounds.
Try copying iMovie'09 from old to new Mac via a memory stick or external HD. It is only 250 MB.
This still may not work on the new Mac as it may be an issue with Digital 8/Mavericks combination. Any way if you can get iMovie 09 onto new Mac ,give it a try.
OR
Buy an external HD and transfer some data onto this to free up some space on your MacBook.
Then use your MacBook /iMovie 09 to import to Events onto your external HD.
Connect external HD to new Mac and import the DV files in Media of iMovie 09 into FCPX.
A word of caution!
When the files are imported into FCPX from the Media in iMovie 09 check to see if files are copied or just referenced.
If they are copied then you can delete them from iMovie 09, if they are referenced then you must not delete from 09.
You can normally tell: if copied then it takes a while to transfer,If referenced then done almost immediately.
My guess is ,they will be copied, but check.
The above is a bit messy but may get you moving with your new Mac.
Buying a new Mac is an expensive way of overcoming an overloaded HD on the MacBook. Cheaper to buy an external HD.
This may be useful;
How can i move or copy projects and events to an external drive? (Version 9 and earlier)
Someone may be able to suggest a fix for Digital 8 into FCPX directly.

Downloading digital video from camcorder using USB

I know this is not really a new topic, but I am new to all this and can't figure out how to post to an existing topic which addresses it. I found a posting which says I can download digital video by opening "Image Capture" and under preferences telling what I want done when a USB camcorder is connected. I find that preferences does not specifically ask about USB, but does ask, when a camcorder is connected, if I want to open Image Capture, IPhoto, or no application. I selected Image Capture, connected the camcorder through a USB port, set the camcorder to play/edit, and got nothing, no acknowledgement that the computer recognizes the presence of the camcorder. Now what?

Well, I tried Firewire, which I thought myself would solve the problem. Bought a new Firewire cable because I have never had one. Plugged the 4-pin into my camcorder, and the 6-pin into a Firewire port on my eMac. Turned the camcorder on to Play/edit, which is the playback setting. No indication on the computer that the camcorder is connected. Tried Image Capture, iPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie. None of them gave me anything. I suppose there is a slim possibility that the cable is defective, but I don't have any other Firewire peripherals, so I don't know how to check it. Any suggestions on that or any other way to troubleshoot? I also tried playback of a video in the camcorder. It plays fine internally, but still no response from the computer.

IMovie can no longer import video from camcorder.

I have been using iMovie '09 with a Sony DCR-SR85 camcorder for over a year with no problems. Suddenly, I cannot import from the camera anymore. With the camera connected and the disk image mounted, I run iMovie and click on the camera import button. It sees my camcorder (it says, "Sony DCR-SR85), then it spins its wheels and status bars for several minutes before it stops detecting the camera. Then, clicking the camera import gives me only the built-in iSight, with no option for the connected camera.
I have searched for other threads on this issue, but have only found solutions that don't seem to apply to me. In one instance, there was an elaborate procedure for rebuilding an AVCHD file structure. This camera records in MPEG-2, not AVCHD. The other solution was that iMovie cannot import SD videos in the same batch as HD videos. Since this camera has no HD capabilities, this does not apply, either.
Can anyone offer some suggestions? There are nearly 800 clips on this camcorder, the newest of which I need to import into iMovie so I can work on them. If there is some sort of corruption on the camcorder, is there an easy way to find it? If I need to reformat the camcorder hard drive, is there a way to import all the MPEG files on the camera's hard drive into iMovie? I tried dragging them from the camera's directory into iMovie, but that didn't work.

If 2 computers do not detect the camera then the issue is not the computer / iMovie.
Potential issues:
1.) The mode the camera is in. Make sure it is configured for PC Connect or Mass Storage mode. Check your manual to determine what the required mode is for your camera.
2.) The cable you are using between camera and computer is bad.
3.) Physical failure in the camera itself.
Try plugging the camera directly into the computer using USB (no hubs) while running on AC power and cycle through the various connection modes. See if the camera mounts on the desktop (as I assume it does normally).
If it fails to mount on either computer I would call Sony so they can verify the camera is in fact functional and even ask them what mode you need to be in for the computer to recognize it.

After buying and downloading videos from itunes, how can I burn them to a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player? I have tried burning the playlist from itunes, and the disc would not play in anything I put it into.

Out of excitement, I bought both seasons of the tv show "Sym Bionic Titan" from the itunes store, since I can't find it anywhere else, in hopes of being able to burn them to dvds and watch them. When I burned the disc from itunes, it would not play in any player I put it in. Not my dvd player, not my ps3, nothing. So the only place I can watch the show is on my computer, which is definitely not what I had in mind when I purchased it. Is there a way to burn the videos to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

Creating movie with video from camcorder and an I Phone

How do you add an I Phone video to I Movie in an existing project filmed with a camcorder and get the same ratio resolution for each clip?

Howdy, freekatie!
This can be achieved by cropping the clips that aren't the same ratio. Further information can be found here:
iMovie '11: Crop video clips or still images
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2232
You can crop still images and video in your projects to get a close-up of a subject of interest or to eliminate undesirable parts.
Cropping is also useful if you have photos or video clips that don’t fit within your project’s aspect ratio. In such a case, you can crop them so that they fit.
Best regards and happy movie-making!
