When to press stop on import of HD footage?

Ok so my iMac G5 previews my importing footage at 3/4 speed, I realize there is alot of caching and bufferring going on but I need to know what the proper method is for completing my import.
Do I press stop on the import window when the camera is at the end of the clip or do I press stop when the 3/4 speed preview reaches the end of the clip? Also should I stop the camera when it reaches the end of the clip or leave it on playback until I press stop on the preview window?
Make sense?
Thanks

See swizcore's message above: if you stop import in the import window when you want the import to stop, that will stop the import from the camcorder, the Mac will continue processing what it's already ingested, and it will "..allow the currently input video to be saved.."
If you want to "..kill the capture..", just stop the import, wait for the current processing of imported material to stop, then just delete what was just imported.
There's no "Abort" in a Copy window or during normal Finder file transfers; you usually just 'Stop' the current process and delete whatever was being processed.

    Hi fais,
    Following through with what JB suggested. The steps involved in replacing the inner for loop with a while loop are outlined below.
    You can replace the inner for loop with a while by doing the following.
    1) Right-click of the for loop and select "Repalce" then navigate to the "while loop".
    2) Make sure the tunnels you where indexing on with the for loop are still indexing.
    3) Drop an "array size" node on your diagram. Wire the array that determines the number of iterations your for loop executes into this "array size".
    4) Wire the output of the array size into the new while loop.
    5) Set the condition terminal to "stop if true".
    6)Drop an "OR" gate inside the while loop and wire its output to the while loops condition terminal.
    7) C
    reate a local of the boolean "stop" button, and wire it into one of the inputs of your OR gate. This will allow you to stop the inner loop.
    8) Drop a "less than" node inside the inner while loop.
    9) Wire your iteration count into the bottom input of the "less than".
    10) Wire the count (see step 4 above) into the top input of the less than. This will stop the inner loop when ever the inner loop has processed the last element of your array.
    Provided I have not mixed up my tops and bottoms this should accomplish the replacement.
    I will let others explain how to takle this task using the "case solution".

  • How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    Good luck.  I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything.  iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist. 
    In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
    One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files).  You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order.  Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song.  You'll still have to double-click on each song.
    Might be a good time to learn AppleScript   It would  also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

  • Is there a fix for a slow response when pressing stop?

    When pressing stop (either by mouse or pressing spacebar), there is always a one to two second delay before the music actually stops. Why is this? Any fix?
    I have been using Digital Performer and that always stops on a dime. It is a bit annoying to hear another 1- 2 seconds of music after hitting "Stop". Any ideas?
    This is not a latency issue.
    Thanks

    A lag setting in like that could also be a sign of needed RAM exceeding available RAM - at which time parts of the contents of RAM have to be temporarily stored to or retrieved from disk.
    That lag is from the OS needing to read RAM content from disk, or the OS needing to write RAM content to disk - and more often than not, both simultaneously. Only after this has been done ("swapping") is the correct RAM content - that's needed for Logic to 'stop' - in place and can the command actually be executed.
    Installing more RAM should help, though you might want to check the (real) RAM use of your laggy Logic project via Activity Monitor first, just to be sure.
    One of the big RAM eaters, apart from sampled acoustic instruments, is Flex. used RAM can grow quickly when Flex editing. If that happens it may be wise to quit and restart Logic from time to time.

  • Why do I get a popping sound when I press play and stop?

    I hope this is an easy answer for someone. When I press the play or stop button I get a loud popping noise (same with space bar). I want to use AA to play sound clips over on air radio and this would ne an obvious problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    It's almost certainly exactly that...I get the same effect when I do a quick playback via my laptop's internal card rather than hooking up my Firewire stuff.  Going through and laboriously adjusting things on the Windows Sound control panel will stop it--but, alas, watching a video or listening to some kind of playback on the net can instantly reset the internal card to something different again.

  • How can I prevent the cursor from stopping when I press down on the trackpad?

    On my MacbookPro 13" Retina with the new trackpad, when I press down on it and get the force feedback, the cursor stops moving even if I'm still moving my finger. This happens when I miss-click and try to correct myself and when I'm dragging something. It drives me nuts!
    How can I disable it?

    Hi Esquared!
    Thanks for your answer. The problem with this is the following: "Also note that this will only work for applications and text fields that are coded with Apple’s text view coding objects, so programs that use alternative text handling routines may not show a difference in blink rate." So it does only work for pages and keynote and textedit but not for the menu itself and the browser and alle the other areas.
    It seems like there is no overall, no global command available..what a pity

  • System crashes when i press esc to stop capturing now

    I capture video using the Capture Now button and when I press the Esc button to stop the capturing, the Video deck doesn't respond and continues to play the tape. The program doesn't respond and I have to force Quit.
    The External Maxtor 250 Gb hard drive then says that only 1,95 Gigs are left and after I restart, in the clips folder an unamed_av clip appeares. When i drag it into the trash and empty the trash the hard drives works ok and the 121 Gigs of space come back again.
    What is going on?
    Does anybody have the clue?
    It is very annoying and every time I have to recapture.
    It mostly happens with long clips.
    I use a G5 Imac OS X version 10.3.5.
    Final Cut Pro 5 HD.
    Can anybody help please?
    Thank you indeed.

    1. verify the disk is not formated mc-dos. It should be formatted Mac OS Extended. Journalling can be either on or off - it does not seem to matter for most people.
    2. If you can avoid it, do not use Capture Now. In the Logging settings- set an In point ~5sec from the beginning of the tape and an End point ~ 5 sec from the end of the tape then use Batch Capture.
    3. If you can not avoid Capture Now, make sure the capture limit is set to 30 minutes or so and capture is smaller time chunks.
    good luck.

  • How do I import my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, when I press import I just get a message saying there is something wrong with one of my photos and disconnects my iPhone.

    How do I import my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, when I press import I just get a message saying there is something wrong with one of my photos and disconnects my iPhone.

    I couldn't find Image Capture at my first try, butI will try again. Do you inow how I can find the corrupted photo on my iPhone? Im a bit lost..
    Sorry, I just noticed, I made a mistake. "Image Capture" is in the Applications folder, not Utilities. And it may have a different name on your Mac, if your system language is not English:  Look for the icon with the camera:
    When Image Capture can import from your iPhone, spilt the folder with the imported photos in several small subfolders and try to import them separately to iPhoto. This way, you can identify a subset of photos with the corrupted one.
    Then try to import from that small subset one by one, until you hit the culprit. And then delete that photo or video from the phone.

    It says its stopped but when i press start it doesnt do anything and ive pressed start a million times. Sometimes it starts sometimes it doesnt. Ive tried everything. any ideas?

    Perhaps try the following document. (It's a better bet with a 1067 error message when trying to start AMDS, but I think it's worth a check.)
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • When I press my combo box, my processor stops

    Hello,
    I'm building my applications witch has a combo box to choose some timmings for choosing graph scales.
    Sometimes, when I press this combo box, my processor load goes to zero and the rest of the application stops due to this.
    If I restart my PC, this problem is solved... until the next time it happens - it can take days...
    Has anyone experienced this?
    Thanks,
    Paulo

    Here it is, sorry that it's big, I'm working on separating the acquisition from the interface to make it smaller.
    But I'm affraid that you won't be able to see it, I just see it sometimes and then only some days latter it happens...
    I realised that if I close LabVIEW it is solved - it's not needed to restart the PC.
    Any comments on the code are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Paulo

    This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  Make sure the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
    If you are 100% positive that the earbuds are all the way in, double check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris and/or damage.
