Video Mixing Renderer, xvid

Hi all,
I've posted this on a forum which handles the product that I speak of below, but they recommend either updating the drivers for my video card, or getting a new video card. I figured since I was getting the same error message on two separate machines with drastically different hardware configs, there must be some sort of incompatibility somewhere. Hopefully someone here, who knows Windows and/or Boot Camp or virtualization can help. The following is the post which I submitted on their forum:
"Just got a computrainer 1 week ago- very nice machine! I'm a Mac user, and I'm running the CS and 3D software via VMWare Fusion (Windows XP, but I also have Windows 7), and also Boot Camp (with Windows 7, just to see if it worked). The software works fine with all of the listed methods. My laptop is a late 2009 MacBook Pro with an Nvidia graphics card, 512MB memory on the card.
I recently downloaded the test version of the interactive video software to try it out. I keep getting a 'Video Mixing Renderer' error upon launching. I've adjusted all settings to numerous configurations with no luck. Same error with VMWare and Boot Camp. Just to make sure it wasn't my laptop, I installed the trial software on my Mac Pro (Dual Core Xeon, 8 GB RAM, ATI Radeon card with 1 GB memory), again adjusting all settings both within VMWare and within Windows XP- same error. I saw on this forum that someone with an iMac was successful in getting the video trial to work. Any suggestions?"

Mea Culpa- I ddin't know that I had to 'update' my video card drivers under Boot Camp (I assumed that the latest drivers would already be installed under Windows 7). This also fixed the minidisplay port to HDMI issue that I was having (I posted on another area here). Hope this helps anyone who may be having an issue with this.

Problems with getting signal to my Video Mixer with DVI to Comp adapter

hi, i have a MacBook Pro and a G5 Quadcore with an NVidia7800GT card. i am trying to get my G5 to detect my Edirol V4 video mixer. the MBP sees it immediately. the G5 cannot detect it!
what i have tried so far:
- swapped the DVI-Comp adapters i have on the MBP with the G5
- tried the DVI to VGA adapter - works fine on the G5
- swapped out cables (even though they are brand new)
i have a show on the weekend and need to solve this asap. can anyone help me figure out why the G5 won't detect the V4??
many thx in advance
fj

well normally i run using a dual output, where the external monitor is a VGA switcher or a video mixer. i run the video mixing software on my desktop monitor and the second monitor is the video mixed output.
up to now i have only used DVI to VGA and it always worked. but i just picked up a better mixer and its inputs are composite. so i bought the DVI to comp adapters. as stated the MBP sees the V4 immediately. the G5 screen flashes but there is no detection.

Capturing live from a video mixer

We video our church services and want to make weekly DVDs of them. We have been using Final Cut Express with mixed success, but are about ready to switch to iMovie HD for several reasons.
The question is, can we capture live video from the video mixer (mixing two cameras and one computer to a single signal) to our hard drive using iMovie HD? If so, how.
Many thanks!

First of all, if you're shooting either normal (4x3) DV or 'widescreen' DV, you'll have to select the appropriate format when you start a New Project. (..See items 6 and 7, and the accompanying pics, in my post here..)
So when you slide the little onscreen selector from the "scissors" icon to the "camcorder" icon, and then click on the camcorder icon itself to choose the name of your mixer it may show "DV-VCR" or some other device name, as it's unlikely to know the exact name of your mixer. If no name is showing, and the iMovie screen says "No Camera Connected", just quit from iMovie and then restart iMovie.
You should then see the live feed, and then just click on 'Import'.
Alternatively, instead of importing with iMovie, you might try downloading and using BTV. You can then edit that captured material with iMovie.
[..P.S: I don't think BTV, or BTV Pro, is a "universal" application, so it should work OK with your PowerPC Mac(s), but maybe not with an Intel-based Mac..]

"Conforming HDV" instead of "Writing Video" while rendering anything

I am having a serious issue with FCP. I am getting the "Conforming HDV" dialog instead of "Writing Video" while rendering anything
Short Project shot @ 720p 30 with a JVC GY-HD100U
1) This gradually started happening more and more.
2) Whenever I try to render anything, even a small crossfade, FCP shows the "Conforming HDV" dialog and proceeds to trash my video. Pieces of the video are repeated or frames are dropped and shots become jerky.
Undo fixes the issue. Replacing the video with the original fixes the issue. But I connot RENDER ANYTHING!
What would you all suggest?

Welcome to HDV. I've never had much better luck than this. The way the GOP structure of the mpeg-2 HDV stream works, the I-frames in your media almost never match up with the default GOP structure of the sequence, and you must wait for it to conform everytime you even think about touching it. Changing the render settings might help. If you are still runnning FCP 4.5, you will be plagued with scrambled render files - even if you can get it to show the correct rendered material in the timeline, if you export or encode or output to tape, you'll wind up with different (wrong) renders in the resulting files.
You might consider batch exporting all your media to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC), an all I-frame codec that helps to get around some of the GOP structure issues that make HDV so impossible to work with. Also, more RAM, or a better video card will take some of the load off of the processor as it tries valiantly to decode the HDV stream. Upgrading FCP to the latest version will also help with some of the render-scrambling etc.
Hope this helps -

Need Video Feed from Mac to Video Mixer

I just took over the video production dept. of the high school where I teach. Right now we export video (usually Q-Time movies) from the Mac on to a mini DV and then hook up the camera to a video mixer and then broadcast. The problem is that it is not very realiable. Often, the Mac loses connection with the camera while it is exporting. I want to know if the video mixer can be connected directly to Mac. Someone told me that the with the Mac Pro and some sort of card that it was possible. I understand that the macs use firewires and usbs for connection and that the mixer has the standard video plug connectors, but is there a way to alter the video out on the Mac to accept the mixer plug.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Not exactly cheap, but Google came up with this:

Video mixer with effect

im looking into Video mixer units.
I would like to know which one would work with Pr? I d like to set up studio, Help! Thanks anyone of you use video mixer unit for your video editing?

If your budget is low, I'd highly recommend this video mixer. As shoot mentioned though the product you listed isn't a video mixer.
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/766069-REG/Blackmagic_Design_SWATEM1ME_ATEM_1_M_E_Pr oduction.html
I don't know of any switcher at this price point that will match up with this choice, it's software controlled but for the price you can't beat it IMO. It has a built in audio mixer, several keyers etc. It also has several AUX outputs, as well as many other features.
This switcher is also a good option however it doesnt' have as many keys or inputs and it also strips the audio on input of any siginal. Which is kind of deal breaker if you want to mix audio without a mixer. It also has no analog audio inputs.

However from what you've said it doesn't sound like you want a video mixer.

Except, I need atleast 3 video source inputs (CamCam only has 2) and I dont want it to be more than $100 (WireCast is ~$450). For the price of WireCast, I rather just by a real video mixer. Any help? Thanks!

Is there a way to make Movies and Home Videos show up in different sections on the apple tv instead of showing the home videos mixed in with the movies?

I have several movies and home videos stored in itunes, when viewing these on appletv, it mixes all the movies and home videos together.
I would like to beable to select either Movies or Home Videos when viewing on the Apple TV if this is possible...?

You have 2 options:
1. Create Video Playlists in iTunes (for example create one for Home movies, the other for Movies)
You COULD make these Smart Playlists. (see below for one technique)
NOTE: If you wish to do this don't miss the preference in Settings to enable Video Playlists at least (at least in the latest ATV updates) I believe it's under Audio setting. Amazingly the default is NOT to show!! (had me going for quite a bit)
2. Set up your Home Movies as "Music Videos" This has some gotchas: like you'll probably want to choose the skip when shuffiling, also Now they'll appear in music lists. The only advantage to this is that it makes playlists more available on iOS devices since there are no Playlists displayed in the Videos App.... (yeah Apple's made this WAY confusing of late)
If you wish to keep these clearly defined (especially for use with Smart Playlists.
Select the movie
Get Info (Edit Menu) (or Command-I Mac, Control-I, PC)
Choose the "Video" Tab - you can select your desired type from the Media Kind pop up.
Alternate method for setting up smart playlist of home movies would be to set the Genre to "Home Movie"
Probably more than you needed to know - leigh

Corrupted video and rendering problems

Before I upgraded the software (FCP 5.0.3 to 5.0.4, and the latest OS X update) I could capture and export movies with no problems. Using the “File>Export>Quicktime Movie” option set to “Use current settings” provides the disastrous results of digital garbage flashing on the screen like psychedelic Lego blocks every couple of seconds at random intervals. They appear at different points with every export. It’s like it’s taking an I-frame from a Jackson Pollack painting. I tried using the following codecs (Sorry if I’m using the wrong terminology, I’m a PC head making my first steps into the Mac universe): Apple Intermediate Codec, DV NTSC 48 KHz (the project’s setting), DV50 NTSC 48 KHz, MPEG IMX 8-bit NTSC – 50 MB/s – 48KHz and the Uncompressed 8-bit NTSC 48 KHz all with similar hideous results. So why does the video look so bad?
Also when I try to render my files the progress bar flashes on the screen for about a second and then goes away, leaving my timeline with the same red bar across the top (AKA unrendered). Are these two problems related?
I hope that is a detailed enough description of my plight to inspire an answer. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have tried it in a new sequence and a new project but nothing has changed. What I am trying to do is take our catalog of "How to" videos from the miniDV tapes and create DVDs using DVDSP4 since nobody buys VHS anymore. All I'm doing is capturing the 25+ minute project and trimming off the wasted spaces at the beginning and the end. Two cuts, that's it. I'm not reassembing anything and this is becoming a bigger project than the original editing. I had captured the original video I am currently working with before the OS upgrade with no problems and it looks fine on anything I use to view the Quicktime file with. But when I export to anything besides Compressor all I get is junk when Compressor decides not to give ma a "Quicktime Error: 0". What is that about? Anyone?
Also, the tutorial on preview rendering is good and I learned quite a bit. Unfortunately nothing worked on solving my problem. The progress bar still flashes on the screen and when it hits 0% completed it disappears leaving everything unrendered. Grrrr.
Thanks again.

Horizontal red lines across video after rendering

Hi I was color correcting a video in Adobe Premiere Pro Cs5 and had remove some noise with Neat Video. The video looks fine with the small screen, however, I adjusted it to full screen and noticed a lot of red horizontal lines across the whole video. The video was 720x480. I would like to know what am I doing wrong. I'm a beginner in color correction and using Adobe Premiere Pro. Thanks.
Gerald W. McClaren Sr.

i hope the picture helps you. There's not much information to get. It only happens after I finish rendering. I'm using adobe cs4 premiere. There is nothing wrong with the footage.

Video not showing after video finished rendering.. worked before rendering

after editing a project to burn to dvd ... creating the fbi warning, the opening menu and the submenus... all with motion... and all working fine, i uploaded the video ... and before it finished rendering, the video worked like a champ.... now after the rendering is over, and i click "simulate" to view the project ... the fbi warning works just fine ... but the actual movie itself does not. the audio works fine ... and can be heard clearly... but the video is nothing but completely black.
even when i scroll the video editing section where i chaptered it and what not, the video will not move. it just stops at the screen frame where i placed the mouse to start the video... but the audio continues.
i'm sure this is a setting i have overlooked as i've already authored DVD's before and never had this problem.
i thought the video was bad and even reloaded the video and let it render again .... anyone have any suggestions?
imac g5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

update::: figured out that the video was somehow corrupt. doesn't make any sense... but i just deleted and reloaded it and it works now...
new issue ::: when going to burn the DVD ... now i keep getting into the 20% range and then it says "video bitrate too high" ... so i've adjusted that repeatedly on the preference menu of studio pro ... and still getting the same issues.

Title (Music Video) still renders "over black" when unselected

Hello I have an MPEG-4 video of about 5 minutes length in wide screen ratio. I am trying to add a Music Video type title to the beginning of the video. I want it to overlay and not do it over black. I uncheck and the preview shows it as it should as an overlay. But when I render it and play it back, it is rendered as over-black!
Until I unmuxed the audio as a separate track the audio for the title part would not play until after the title sequence was complete.
Is it something to do with the fact that I'm running 10.5.1? Or is it my source video that is not compatible with the adding of the title?
This is extremely urgent that I get this to work, so please help me!!!!!
