What for a live event capture and edition ?

Hi there,
What software is best for a live event capture and edition ? (for an instant public feedback) a one with the ability to be controlled by a 2-octave midi keyboard.
Can FCP do that ? even partly ?
The idea is to be able to do the same then tv shows (live cuts and effect layers)
thanks,
Ionel

FCP is a professional non-linear editing application ... not a live event playback device.
If you need a very fast turnaround editing facility you can look at FCP coupled with something like Picture Ready from Gallery, you can download a demo to test
if you're looking at doing a 2 camera live cut/switch then you can consider a dual decklink I/O solution and On-Air 2.0

What type of mac do i need for home use to watch and edit videos

What type / power of MAC do i need for home use to watch and edit vedeos as well as basic computer work?

Any of the new Macs for home - iMac or MacBook Pro are even fine. You don't need a 65lb workstation tower. If you want a tower for how well and long they hold up, and can be upgraded, that is another matter and fine and might be overkill at first.
Even the base Mac Pro will get you there.

Capturing and editing on my primary drive?

I have two-500GB drives in my new Macpro, and I do not see how I could ever fill up the drive with the OS and applications installed (seems kind of a waste). I have read that it is not recommended to capture and edit video on the drive that contains the os and applications, and it should be done on a secondary drive.
1. What specifically is the problem with capturing and editing video on the primary drive?
2. Will partitioning the drive with the OS and applications installed, and capturing to the separate partition make a difference?
Thank you.

1. OSX creates a great deal of disk activity. Not only is the disk trying to feed the OS and the application commands, it also hosts the System Cache where RAM overflow goes to live until needed.
Adding the demands of REAL TIME media spooling (read/write) to this really busy disk can overwhelm it - leading to dropped frames etc.
2. Partitioning does not solve it. It is still one physical disk and subject to all the same demands as spelled out in #1 above. Partitioning may make some sense in organizing material but it will do nothing for system performance. Indeed, there is some evidence it will reduce realtime performance.
If you need more drive space, for fastest performance, get a PCI based esata card and add a series of external sata devices. FW800 drives will work quite well as well - especially for DV, HDV and uncompressed SD.
good luck.

Dvx100 24pa captured and edited at 29.97

Hi there,
I'm trying to rework an old project where i mistakenly captured and edited 24pa footage from a dvx100b at 29.97.
is it possible to perform a reverse telecine with cinema tools to remove the pulldown from a finished edit on a 29.97 timeline? if so, what settings should i use?
i normally remove pulldown on capture with 24pa footage, and edit in a 23.98 timeline, but this project is from before i knew better, and mistakenly worked in 29.97, and am now suffering from interlacing problems/duplicate frames.
any advice would be appreciated. i am trying to avoid recapturing and re-editing.
thanks for your help in advance

thanks guys...
these are both possible solutions that i didn't think of.
the situation with this piece is it is one long source clip, chopped down into 100+ short clips, with a lot of precise cuts, but unfortunately no respect for pulldown cadence.
using cinema tools, i have performed reverse telecine which seems to remove the pulldown for clips that have the right timing, and unfortunately, not for those that are off.
i should probally just re-edit, but this is the sort of project you really only want to do once.
i guess i'm hoping for an easy fix, and that probally doesn't exist.
i still have the digitized footage and the sequence (29.97). is it possible to somehow remove the pulldown of the source footage, and rework the timeline accordingly?
thanks again.

Need advice ensuring my 25p is captured and edited properly.

Hi all. New to Final Cut and just got a DVX100BEN (PAL) and want to know what I have to setup to capture and edit 25p with Final Cut.
My train of thought here is that I can just use a standard DV PAL setup as the DVX100b stored 25p in a 50i stream. So my questions are:
1) Can I just use standard, interlaced DV PAL for capture?
2) Can I just use standard, interlaced DV PAL for the timeline or do I have to set it up as progressive some how?
3) When rendering, say to DVD can I just render using Compresser to DVD PAL as normal and all is good?
Also, viewer seems to deinterlace it's display so I was wondering if there is a way to get it to just show the rawm image, as it's already progressive from the DVX?
Cheers
Aaron Koolen

Well, noone offered me an answer, no matter where I looked, but after some searching I'm pretty certain that you just use the DV PAL template, keep everything interlaced and render out as DV PAL.
I say this because I found a post somewhere by Graeme Natress that pretty much said this.
So, personally, I'm happy with it. Now if you were wanting to render as a true progressive movie then you'd have to do something to tell your renderer to NOT deinterlace the footage.

Why don't iMovie support native HDV capture and editing?

i would like to see iMovie HD 6 to support native HDV capture and edit. is it possible?

no, FCE-HD (what an abreviation!) uses the same trick as iM-HD, converting HiDef into AIC....
native HD is really more for the pros... yet! I think, the basic problem to be solved first is -r media, meaning, any HD/blue-ray-DVD-r disks, which make it possible for the average user to store his/her products.... but as far as I follow the discussion, right now the industry is caring more for commercial disks, and that HDMI "problem" (broadcasting can include a copyprotection, so no use of any HD/DVD HiDef recorders...!)... finally, we can record only our selfmade movies... maybe that's a little less joy...
actually, converting finished HDmovies into h264 with a high bitrate and storing that onto hd is the only realistic option........

I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine. The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart. I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky. I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe. My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.

Mega simple video capture and edit program. Cross platform.

Looking for a mega simple video capture and edit program. Am overseeing a bunch of small groups where we want each person in the group's story told. Some groups will have Macs, some PCs, some iPads, iphones, etc. So needs to be cross platform.
Really, the simpler, the better. Like targeting 5 year olds

Is there any software anyone recommends - Sorenson?
I am capturing regular dv from minidv.

No idea what you mean by the firsy part of your question.
Documents edited on the Mac need manually uloading to iCloud at iCloud.com,documents edited on the mobile devices are updated automatically.

Live Conferencing, capturing and maybe editing....

To those who are familiar with this...
Here is the script...
I work part time for a firm who do audio visuals for Mainly Conferences and events in the Channel Island, UK.
Most of these events require Camera work, for live projections with visual desk mixing. Each camera would have tapes in and press record when the event would start. Coming out of the mixing desk would be connected a Sony DV recorder that records live what shows on the screen.
Up until now, when clients required a DVD of the event, we would bring the tapes back inhouse, log and capture, and start editing..
Problem starts here....
The Live Mixed tape recorded is not good enough for DVD play back for two reasons.
1. for example of a pointpower presentation which would drag on the screens, would not be required on the DVD for such a long time, therefore editing is required.
2. Slides, photos coming out of PC/Mac would go through scan converters in order to fit the screen in the room. Losing the aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9.
SO....
We have come to the conclusion that what ever is mixed live for the screens is not good enough for the DVD, and we need to edit for DVD seperatly. Cannot use the live mixed tape. We must use each camera feed seperatly for editing and the slides, PP presentations or keynote seperate...
How do we do this quickly? What I mean by quickly is, yes of course we could bring all tapes back to the studio and capture them, a series of Mac, each having a player, each capturing at the same time.....That requires time... and most events finish at 2am...
Question 1:
The idea is to Capture straight from Cameras (keeping the tapes in cameras as backup) straight into a powermac. This is to save capturing time....
How do we do this?
Question 2:
FCP support Multicam editing. But as far as I understand it, this is only post production. Or is it not? Can we edit live straight from the camera feed?
Question 3:
Would a capture card slove our problem? something like a blackmagic decklink?
The last option we have left is to invest into a new Visual desk, split the feed from the cameras, and create a second mixing/editing desk, first one being for live projection, and this second new one being for DVD production, mixing using a visual desk, recording this to tape, being left with only one tape to capture which will still need a few twicks to fix on FCP.
What do you reckon?
I know this is a long thread, but trying to be as clear as possible....
Thanks in Advance...
Regards

thank you all 3 for your replies.....
I sort of knew the answer to my own questions but was hoping for some sort of magic trick to sort our problems....
Yes those conference, ball, events are important... big budget, big nights.... But thats no problem... it is turning around the job quick that is difficult.... and hte more time consuming is capturing....
I have more ideas now on how best and quick to do the job....
Picture ready is over budget I am afraid....
Thanks again...

Live capture and editing?

Hi all, is it in any way possible to use a clip on a timeline while its still being captured? I´m planing to capture a live feed and put together some sort of highlights. Has anybody tried this? Do I need one Mac to capture and another for editing? The incoming signal is SDI.
thanks

The only way I know of to do this is quite expensive, involving Xsan, Gserve, two FCPs, and a piece of software called 'Picture Ready'

HD - best capture and edit for NTSC Sd output?

I shoot in HD but need to output for community TV channel in Standard NTSC. What shoud my capture and sequence settings be for optimum picture quality for playback?

Two suggestions.
When I did shows on the local community tv, they had pretty rigid specs I needed to conform to. So check with whomever you are producing for, the station will give you what they need.
For my local community tv, it was 29.97 frame rate bitrate 6000-8000 720x480 mpeg2. Audio was 2 ch stereo bit rate of either 192 or 256, 44.1 or 48 khz.
So I would export in prores and use something like Compressor to change.

What are the options for integrating the event catalog and event landing pages in our website?

We'd like to integrate the event catalog and event landing pages into our website but would prefer not to use the standard iframe embed code. Are there other solutions available, like an API or something else?
Reason for this is that when we tried it with the iframe embed code the event catalog seems to load quite slow in a webpage on our website. Plus it seems we can't change the width and height of the event catalog with the CQ5 editor, or have the event catalog embed dynamically change in size depending on the amount of events in the catalog.

Keeping everything in one scene is the better way to go. Scenes are useful for animators who do not use navigation, they just make movies that play frame after frame without stopping. But for anything that involves navigating the timeline you will have less headaches if you just avoid them and keep everything in the one main timeline.
There are primarily two approaches to implementing pages in a timeline. Either spread them out along the timeline and navigate from frame to frame to access them, or create them as movieclips (all in the same frame) and manage their visibility. The latter approach makes it easier to maintain the status of a one page if navigating to another is necessary. And you might find it useful to mix these two approaches at times.
When you have everything on one timeline, you can have a layer dedicated to actionscript that you extend the full length of the timeline, which makes shareable code, such as variables and functions, available to anything along the timeline. This avoids any need to have duplicate function definitions since you can have the same single function available to multiple pages in the site. I usually use two actions layers... one for the shared stuff which has all code in frame 1 only, and another for frame specific code such as timeline commands and other action coding that needs to happen at particular frames.

No Great Solution for Record Multi-Voice Tracks and Edit for Mac? :(

Let me see if I've finally got this right.
I've got FinalCut Studio Pro which comes with SoundTrack Pro.
I've got Logic Express.
SoundTrack Pro cannot record from different channels from my Mixer, but it can edit pretty well and apply effects, such as Normalization, Silences and whatnot.
Logic can record from different channels from my mixer but has no editing capabilities, except Garage-band-like and even there, GB seems to offer more. That is there's no normalization or other things.
Okay, I accept that. But what I don't get is that in order to do something as simple as Record a podcast that has a Host on mic and 1 or 2 Skype callers coming into a Mixer (Mackie Onyx) and that mixer is routed to the Mac. In order to record each person on a different track, I have to:
Load Logic and record the tracks individually.
Export the Tracks as individual audio files.
Import them into SoundTrack Pro and edit them there.
Export them from SoundTrack to disk.
re-Import them into Logic (or Garage Band) and export them ("mixdown") as MP3 (SoundTrack won't export as MP3).
Wow, that's very unexpected.
If I'm missing something, please let me know. This seems like a lot of "make fit" just to emulate what can be done in Adobe Audition on the PC. (Sadly, Audition doesn't run on Mac.)

I suppose my question is more along the lines of what solution (I've purchased them all) allows you to Record and Edit multiple spoken tracks of audio?
I've purchased:
SoundTrack Pro
SoundBooth
Logic Express
Audacity
and of course I've upgraded to iLife 09.
If one of these tools could allow you to select a section of audio from 1, 2, 3, or all tracks and delete it with a "Ripple Delete" option, then I'd be a happy guy.
Right now:
GarageBand doesn't allow you to delete and shift-left "ripple delete".
As for Logic, I don't see ripple delete either.
SoundTrack does do this but it only allow me to edit one Track at a time--open them all, but edit one, then the other, then the other. Lots of flipping around.
With Audition (which is limited to Windows) I can select a section of 1, 2, 3, or all tracks, and delete that section, ripple or not.
FYI: "Ripple" is a Final Cut Pro term.
To be honest, no that I think about it... FinalCut Pro may be the best solution. Load everythign into it as separate tracks and have at it--at least it does it.
Remember, I'm not a musician, nor do I record music, only audio for podcasting. (but don't equate "podcasting" to Video-podcasting as most people do).
Anyway, my solution will be to load Virtual Box on the Mac. Record using Logic (which did a great job of recording onto multiple tracks) and then bring those AIF files into Adobe Audition under Windows in VirtualBox--or perhaps on a Networked PC.
Of course the other solution (and perhaps less painful) would be to simply abandon the Mac entirely and move all this stuff onto the PC and only use the Mac for FinalCut Pro work. What a huge disappointment that would be.
