What's the best way to record live webcam video with Premiere CS6?

We are producing an online news show and will interview guests from all over the country. We will have them phone in using Skype and or their IPad. We would then do all of the post in Premiere. We would like to capture guest video from either Skype or an iPad using Premiere. Any suggestions for camera/software combinations will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I would not attempt to use Premiere Pro to capture live video. There are better ways.
Perhaps a screen capture utility that records to a lossless codec that is easily edited in Premiere Pro.
I use a free program (CamStudio-Recorder) but there are others. Since I have the drive space, I record to the Lagarith Lossless Codec. Premiere Pro cuts through it like a hot knife through butter.
If quality is not the issue, then there are other codecs you can use that are lossy, but still not too bad.

  • What is the best way to organise remote collaborative editing with Premiere Pro CC

    I am writing to enquire about a solution for a collaborative project between two filmmakers in different countries.  Ideally, we would be able to have a cloud media library that could be referenced by both of us as well as a project folder with work in progress that would allow one of us to review the other’s progress or pick up editing where the other left off.
    It is a relatively small scale project and I’m not sure what would be the best platform on which to base it.  We are currently both using Adobe Premiere Pro CC but it is the cloud library aspect which concerns me.  We would need approximately 2TB of space in order to accommodate all of the footage and work in progress sequences.
    My immediate thought was to use the cloud storage integrated with CC, but as far as I'm aware there is not an option to increase storage size to the amount we would need.  My second thought was to use something like Google Drive or Dropbox, but someone has told me that it is not suitable due to issues in Premiere Pro referencing the files?  I'm not sure I completely understand the issue, hence the reason for writing.
    Thanks

    Adobe sells the Adobe Anywhere platform for collaborative editing, but it's not a realistic option for small-scale projects due to the huge investment in hardware required for the servers. Premiere in desktop mode isn't designed for parallel editing - two people cannot have the same PRPROJ file open at the same time, and you cannot merge changes from two separate copies - so if you're sharing the project file on a cloud service you will have to ensure that only one editor is working at any moment. Without active file locking, that has to be done through a manual process (phoning to confirm handover, etc.).
    Sharing your original source footage on a cloud service isn't necessary as Premiere won't be changing those files - so the inexpensive option is to distribute copies on hard drives to both editors, and/or for the primary editor to set up a proxy workflow so the project files are much smaller. Both editors then work of locally-saved copies of the footage and download the updated PRPROJ file from the cloud service when the work hands over. Premiere can rebuild its preview/cache files provided it has the source material and the project file in the same place, so both editors would set up the same absolute folder names - don't work from a My Documents or ~library folder!

  • What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight?

    What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight? I need to just make a short (less than 5 minute, no special effects) video, but I can't figure out any programs that will make this possible for me.
    Thanks.

    Hi Carolyn,
    you can use iMovie to record a video for free on a Mac with iSight.
    1. Open iMovie HD
    2. Choose “Create a new project”
    3. Name the project for example “iSight Movie” (first field). In the second field, let the default location “Sequences”, in the third one, video format, choose “iSight”. Push “Create”
    4. iMovie window opens, next to the scissors, choose the camera (Camera mode), then iSight. Now you appear on the screen, right?
    5. Press “Record with iSight” in the main picture window.
    6. Press the same button to stop. Your new clip appears now in the clip panel at the right.
    7. You are done!

  • What is the best way to record a project to an external recorded via firewire. Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac?

    What is the best way to record a project from the timeline to an external recorder via firewire? Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac and recordes in realtime? This is possible right?

    While theoretically possible, sometimes the camera people disable recording back to tape from the computer due to DRM (digital rights managment) issues. They will allow tape to tape transfers however.
    Test your process first is all I can advise.

    what is the best way to record video games on my mac?

    I'm unclear about what you're asking - could you be a little clearer? I know you say that you want to "record video games" but I'm not sure if you're asking if you could, for instance, create a movie of video games as they're being played or what.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • What is the best way to zero a 'custom voltage with excitation' sensor from the front panel?

    What is the best way to zero a 'custom voltage with excitation' sensor from the front panel?
    Thanks for any help

    Hi Donavan,
    There are two options for zeroing with the NI-9237.  You can perform offset nulling and shunt calibration with a strain task, or if you use custom excitation you can use software compensation.
    See the Bridge Balancing, Offset Nulling section in  the Load, Force, and Torque Measurements tutorial. Take a measurement before the strain is applied and subtract this from all subsequent measurements.  See the above tutorial to consider the tradeoff in accuracy between these two options.
    Hope this helps,

  • What is the best way to EDIT a voice narration in Premiere Elements 11?

    What is the best way to EDIT a voice narration in Premiere Elements 11 when words or paragraphs have to be repeated?

    The rough description of Preview Window trimming..
    a. double click clip in Project Assets to bring up Preview Window
    b. move Timeline indicator to beginning of section, hit Set In; move Timeline indictor to end of section, hit Set Out.
    c. next you can drag the segment from the Windows to the Timeline audio track and/or drag the segment from the Preview Window to Project Assets to become part of the project's media.
    The following should give you some thoughts on the above.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/06/pe11-project-assets-organization-for.html
    Although more from a video trimming perspective, the principles apply to an audio clip as well.
    Now "delete and close gap" can be interesting depending on what is around the area involved.
    Please check out the details on that in the following.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe-delete-and-close-gap-failures.html
    Not sure I am clear on
    The “delete and close gap” option in the edit menu does not work. Do I have to move the file to the Narration Track on the Timeline to do the actual trimming?
    You should be able to trim the narration in the Preview Window opened by right clicking the narration clip in Project Assets and then drag the segment to an audio track or narration track or dragging the trim to Project Assets for source media.
    Please check out the above and then let me know if you are OK with the information. If not, let me know where I need to clarify what I have written.
    Thanks.

  • HT4436 What is the best way to set up business accounts with multiple ipads?

    What is the best way to set up business accounts with multiple ipads?

    Here are three different methods >
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
    This article > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    suggests using contacts groups.
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    You can set up groups in the Address Book application.
    If you are all going to use the same iTunes apps library, turn off "Automatically sync new apps" in the apps tab just below the list of apps.  Then you won't get new apps on your device unless you select them.

    With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

    There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
      - via WiFi
      - via usb cable
    From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.

  • What is the best way to hookup my airport extreme with my time capsule ?

    what is the best way to hookup my airport extreme with my time capsule ?

    It sounds like you have the AirPort Extreme configured as the "main" router on your network.
    If that is the case, connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
    Power up the Time Capsule
    Connect another spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications  > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule, then click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons and make sure that the setting for Wireless Mode = Off
    Click the Internet icon, the click the Internet tab
    Insure that the setting for Connect Using = Ethernet
    Insure that the setting for Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click the Update button at the lower right of the window and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
    Then power cycle the entire network by powering everything off....order of power down does not matter
    Wait a minute
    Power up the modem first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme next and let it run a full minute
    Power up the Time Capsule next and let it run a full minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
    You will need to reset the backup path from your Mac to the Time Capsule to get backups going again
    Open System Preference (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Time Machine
    Click Select Disk
    Click the Time Capsule to highlight it
    Click Use for Backups or Use Disk and backups should begin again in a few minutes
    If you do not want to leave the Mac connected to the Time Capsule by Ethernet, remove the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Time Capsule, then log on to the AirPort Extreme wireless network
