Video out to Sony A1U: Sound, Still Image

I'm sure someone has had this issue and I know its old, but I gotta get this TV show out for tomorrow and I"ve had a plethora of problems tonight. I've played DVNTSC material out to my Sony A1U before with no problems. I now shoot on Canon 60D and I edit in Pro Res LT, then export that out as a 16:9 DVNTSC file so I can record to my A1U. I created a new project with easy setup that is all DVNTSC 3:2 Anamorphic 16:9 and then imported the DVNTSC version of my show for playout. The A1U is getting sound but only a still image or frame of the video. Even with View/External Video/All Frames, I get the same thing. I changed the camera settings to match as well. Same thing. Anyone have any ideas? I would love to not stay up all night just to play out a video to tape. I'm now trying iMovie as a playout strategy. HELP

Hmm... are you playing the DV-NTSC movie from the Viewer window? Or, do you have it a Sequence that's at DV-NTSC settings?
What you've described usually happens when the video is not compressed with the DV/DVCPro-NTSC codec.
But, I'm just taking guess.

Video out to CRT yields entire screen image repeating

I have posted this problem before with no luck. I'm trying again in the hopes someone can offer a suggestion, or determine if my Powerbook needs servicing. The guy at the Apple Store didn't have much to offer.
The laptop's LCD display works fine. But when I extend my screen to a CRT with the video out on the card, I get my entire screen image repeating and fading off to the right. This makes for difficult text reading and detail work in programs dealing with lines and music fonts. And everyone who looks at my screen wonders if their eyes are going bad. I have tried both inputs on the display (a Mitsubishi DiamondPro 2070, 22" CRT) with no difference. I cannot capture the repetitions in a screen shot. I have tried many different resolutions and refresh rates, with no improvement. The current resolution 1280x1024, 100Hz.
My other computer comes through just fine in the same CRT.
Any ideas on this one? Should I have it sent in for repairs on the video card?
Is this issue called "ghosting"? I thought that was only an issue with LCD displays. Anyhow, I am using the DVI/VGA adapter that came with the powerbook and a Belkin VGA cable (can't recall the cost, but it wasn't cheap).
Thanks,
Jeff

I would definitely try another cable if you have access to one. Otherwise, it could well be your Mac's video output has a problem. Can you try the Mac with another CRT monitor somewhere? That might tell you if the problem lies inside the Mac.

Video Out to Sony Camcorder does work

I used a Apple cable (Monitor out to Serial or RCA) to video recorder what is on my mac's screen (using the camcorder as a second monitor. The G5 does not see the sony camcorder.. however, when you use the video out from a powerbook under display preferences the dialog box comes up detect displays and you can choose to miror the display and you can see the same mac screen on my camcorders display. On the G5 that option does not come up. I went to the Apple store and the Genius's did not know why the G5 could not recognize the sony camcorder as a second monitor? Anyone have a clue? I want to record what is on my G5 screen... any suggestions.

NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
Not sure which graphic card the Macbook Pro has.. but it worked just fine when I connect the appropriate adapter.. you could see the mac screen on my camcorder screen. I am trying to video tape Itunes visualizer for a party so I can cut and paste into imovie.

Unable to print to video, out to Sony V1U

Wedding video shot with Sony V1U, HDV 1080i 16x9. Imported into FCEHD3.5, using easy set up hdv 1080 AIC. total movie length 100minutes. Edited fine. Exported as a QT movie self contained to desk top, no problem. Then attempted to export from the time line the entire sequence. The FCE is pretty easy to export from and set the sony v1u to HDV import with both auto and HDV settings. It is in VTR mode. I checked the render again and it was complete. saved the project. Closed FCEHD. connected fire wire from cam to computer and powered up cam with what appear to be the correct setting according to the manual. Opened FCEHD and project. Rechecked render, resaved project and chose print to video. Went through the next screen as I normally do and have tried with both automatic record start and manual record start. Clicked start and the computer does its job and the video starts but the camera does not appear to ever be controlled by the computer. I let it run for about 30 minutes to see if it needed time to change from Mpeg2 back to HDV. Maybe I did not wait long enough for the number crunching before I gave up.
Question 1: What am I doing wrong.
I tried to export a SD movie and it worked fine.
I tried to send it to IDVD from the QTmovie.fcp file on the desk top but it immediately shuts down IDVD. I tried to import into ImovieHD and it gave me a QT error. I thought maybe imovie had a time limit so I re-exported the movie in to sections as FCP and then dragged and dropped into imovie and it worked. The resolution is much worse in imovie as compared to the great video in FCEHD.
Question 2: Am I losing quality as I move from HDV to FCEHD ( I would assume so as it is going to Mpeg2), and even more when I go then from FCEHD to imovie.
Question 3: When I print to tape from fce back to my original hdv setting it should convert back to hdv correct?
Any advide would be appreciated.
Thanks, Steve

Video out of sync with sound

Just got the latest update from Itunes 11.1.2.32 and now, when ever I play a movie in Itunes from the Itunes Store the sound is completely out of sync with the picture. All other movies players (DivX DVDs and Windows Media player) all play fine. Itunes played fine before the update as well. Any ideas?

Most of my video problems have come from using a computer too slow to play the file correctly. I cannot play iTunes video on my desktop have to use laptop.

ITunes video out of sync with sound

Why is a still image fuzzy when being played but clear when I pause it?

I'm trying to make a video out of a collection of still images. It is a tribute video, essentially, and I am trying to liven it up by panning and zooming documentary-style. I've imported all the images I want to use into my media folder, and added them to my timeline. When I hit 'play,' the images suddenly become blurry, but when i then 'pause' it, they return to being clear. Any idea why this might be happening and what I can do to fix this?
Thanks very much,
Brian

How to extend audio from a video clip over an adjacent still image

I'm in iMovie 11. My project looks like this: video A, transition, still image B, transition, video C. I want the sound from video C to start playing while still image B is on the screen. I tried following the iMovie 11 help instructions for extending a video clip's audio. I click on video C and open the precision editor. From there I can grab video C and move it back so that it overlaps with the still image, but all that happens is the still image still shows up, without sound, and video clip C starts in the middle. The help instructions seem to indicate that I should be able to drag only the audio and make that overlap the still image, but it's not happening. Either the video and audio move together, or nothing moves.
When I try detatching video C from its audio, I just end up with a big mess because later the audio and video don't synch up.
What am I doing wrong?

I am having the same challenge... any tips here would help me out in a big way. I recorded my boss tdoing a training session and now I would like to have the powerpoint slides change as necessary - but I want the audio to remain. I would love to just get the slides to change rather than back to full before bringing up the next slide. Jim, if you come up with anything, let me know. I have VC2 pro.

How do i get a still image to fade the same way and at the same time as a video?

I have a video stacked on top of a still image. When i add a transition, the still turns to a black screen while the video fades in accordance to the transition. How do i get the still image to fade the same way and at the same time as the video?

I do. I've applied it to both the still image and the video. Say i used the lens flare transition. If i apply it to both the video and the still image, the video will dissolve in to the next frame, but the still image will go to a black screen and then jump to the next frame. Its almost as if i inserted a black frame instead of a transition, but only for 2 seconds. Below is kind of a peek what it looks like.

Creating still images from video

About two days ago I downloaded some Itunes videos and was able to save stills (images) using quicktime's copy option. However, once Itunes updated.. quicktime would not allow me to do this and would save as a gray image instead. I've now downloaded quicktime pro and read the instructions to save stills. However, the export button will not work for me. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks.

Are these "purchased" files from the iTunes Store?
If so they are "protected" files and copying is not allowed.
The free version of the QuickTime Player can copy a single frame from any non protected QuickTime file. The free version can't "export" and the copy must be pasted using an image editing app into a new file.

Inserting still images into video

I have PS CS4 Extended, and I am pretty new to working with video. I need to insert still images into several continuous frames of video after removing the frames that are there. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Adding Still Images to movie

Hi All
I have run into a wierd problem, I am running Premier Pro CS5, all is going well, except I have some video that I want to add still images to the squence on the 2nd track, when I import the stills to my bin, all the files are imported and I can see each filename, but when I click on each image file, or drag the file to the squence, they all show up as the first image in the bin, the filename matches the file I drag in but the images that shows up is still the first image, It's as if I've created the same image with all different filenames. But in my original folder on my drive all images are there with thier own names.
Any ideas what is happening here,
I am on a PC, i5 proceassor, 4 gig ram and win 7
Cheers Mike

Mike,
Perhaps this THREAD will be useful. Sounds like the same behavior.
Good luck,

Still image crop and resolution

Dear All,
I'm creating an H264 1280 x 720 video for Google Maps that incorporates still images and 1280x720 HD video. I've always used 96 dpi for image resolution in the past when I cropped images for standard 720 x 640 video and they looked good. If I crop my still images in Photoshop to 1260 x 720 at 96 dpi, jpeg, will that give me a good still image in the final product? I know that the dpi really doesn't matter unless we're talking about print, but I want to start with a good image resolution. There are many things to learn about all of the new formats! Thanks.
Small Town Gal

Hi SMG,
As Ann said, forget DPI for video, has absolutely no bearing on things. For a 1280x720 video, optimum still size is 1280x720 pixels. If you want to do any zooming/panning to animate the still, then of course a higher resolution will be beneficial.
Thanks

Still images on TV

I edited a video with parts where there were still image taken from video clips. When compressed and played on TV, The pixels of the still images appear to go crazy. Can it be fixed?

Yes, you need to make sure you are using only one field as opposed to a frame. What you're likely seeing the flicker of one of the fields. I don't have FCP open right now, but I'm sure someone will help.
Give me a sec and I'll open FCP and look.
