XL-1 Canon Record direct to Powerbook?

I would like to know if I upgrade to the new imovie if it will allow me to record directly to my powerbook with my Canon xl-1 Camera? Also, will the spftware allow me to record without the date and time appearing? If not. Do I need to upgrade to Final Cut Express?

To record without the date and time appearing, I think you have to turn them off the display using the remote control of the XL1.
If you don't have the instruction manual, there's a downloadable one here if you click on this link.
P.S: When receiving video down a FireWire cable from the camera to the computer, I doubt that the date and time would be sent (visibly) anyway. The d&t in the viewfinder is normally shown as an overlay, and is not really a part of the video signal. Try it!

  • Can a Canon GL2 record direct to a mac through firewire

    Could someone please let me know if it is possible to use a Canon GL2 and record direct to the hard drive of a computer through firewire?
    Thank you

    I'm not 100% sure the GL2 has HDMI out, but if it does, it would be th best ay to record to a Mac using an intensity card or shuttle. In most cases, using the HDMI port out on a camcorder gives you uncompressed 4:2:2 data.
    Hope this helps

  • Recording canon xm2 directly to laptop

    Hi there.
    I was wondering if any of you would help me with the following query:
    'what is the the down side of recording directly onto a laptop using a canon xm2 via firewire.
    Martin.

    I have the same question too. I just did a test and it seems as if you can record with the video camera attached to your computer and set up with iMovie '08. You click the Open Import Window, wait to make sure your camera is recognized in the Camera/Record Mode. Click the Import button, select where you want to save the event. After you click OK, the recording will start. You click Done to stop the recording. I'm still experimenting with it, but that seems to be how it works.

  • Recording direct to macbook air

    Hi,
    Is there any way to record direct to a macbook air from a video camera.
    I've been recording direct to an old powerbook g4 from a canon xl2 for years and recently bought a macbook air.
    When I tried the usual set up via an external hard drive I couldn't manage to do it.

    Only standard definition can be captured live, and the only SD Final Cut Express does is DV, and you can only capture DV through a FireWire connection. Your computer doesn't have one.

  • Record directly to computer

           The program is not recognizing my camera so I can recordt directly to my computer.  I have a Canon HF20 camcorder. any help on this?

    Welcome to the forum.
    If you mean recording directly to the computer's HDD, rather than tape, or flash memory, I agree with John T. Adobe OnLocation will do that, with most cameras, but is available only with PrPro, and not PrE.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How can I record directly to my HD using my XL-1?

    I have a Canon XL-1. I'd like to record directly to the hard drive on my laptop. Is there a way to set that up?
    Thanks,
    ------------------S

    I don't have the XL-1, but here is how it generally works:
    Take the tape out (you may not need to do this, it prevents my old DV camera from going in to standby) and put the camera in camera mode.
    Plug it into the computer.
    Use 'capture now' in FCP or FCE to record the incomming picture straight to HD.
    You may want to look in the preferences, and remove the time limit for capture now.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I record a quicktime screen recording directly to an external hard drive?

    I want to record a screen recording directly to an external hard drive (or flash drive/SD card) and I've heard that doing so will improve system performance by reducing the workload somehow. I'm not entirely sure.
    Is that true, will it work, and how do I do it?
    Help would be much appreciated!

    I think USB is much slower than your internal HDD connection and you might start losing frames. The system itself will do the same job... the only where performance may increase are the actions where you need to read/write from/to the disk i.e. open an app or save file.

  • Idoc control record DIRECT field mapping

    Hello,
    I have a file to idoc scenario where the receiver system is an external one.
    I have the necessity to set in the outbound idoc control record DIRECT = 1.
    The XI system is XI 3.0 SP 19 and I've set up the mapping of the idoc control record in the message mapping and selected Apply Control Record Values from Payload and Take receiver from Payload in the Receiver Communication Channel but the idoc is still generated with DIRECT = 2.
    In the documentation the field DIRECT is listed as one that will be filled using the message mapping if Apply Control Record Values from Payload is selected.
    How can I generate an idoc with DIRECT = 1?
    Regards,
    Elisa

    Hello Punit,
    I know that logically the right value should be 2 but the request of the receiver system is to have it as 1.
    They only elaborate the idoc they receive with DIRECT = 1 (outbound).
    In SAP documentation the field is listed as one that can be mapping with the message mapping but the idoc adapter is ignoring the mapping even when the Apply Control Record Values from Payload is selected.
    Regards,
    Elisa

  • Recording direct from PC, Xtreme Gamer

    Hi all, I know this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in a forum search, so I don't mind a link to a previous answer to this, and that is; how do I record directly from the PC and not the microphone. I am using Jing Pro to record the video and I would like to submit a song with it on You Tube that comes direct from my PC for cleaner sound. I have the Sound Blaster X-fi Extreme Gamer? with driver version 2.20.65
    My PC specs are Windows 7 64-bit and I am using Logitech G5 5. sound system.
    Thanks for your help
    Scott

    I managed to solve the problem But I don't rly know why it's working for me now:S Because I reinstalled the newest drivers for couple times and it's worked at least... I read somewhere that this card doesn't work fine at Windows 7 x86/x64 Ultimate (best of 7th version is propably Professional), I have both on student license, but I was too lazy to reinstall the systemD

  • Downloading a Connect recording directly (i.e. not streaming)

    According to a public 'Welcome to Connect 9' recorded webinar, one can now download recording directly without having to stream them in real time to the local workstation:
    https://onlineevents.adobeconnect.com/_a655548740/p82otjzrh2h/?launcher=false&fcsContent=t rue&pbMode=normal
    (it's in the Q&A section about 2/3 of the way down -- screenshot attached)
    However, I cannot find any way to do this. There is still the 'Make Offline' option, but that just starts the local streaming. I tried using 'Edit' first and then clicking 'Save', but that also just started streaming. I also tried using the 'download=zip' URL hack that I'd read about on other sites, but that just saved a zip file full of decompiled Flash bits. I created a short 1 minute recording for testing, and none of the FLV files in the zip download were playable in VLC. I thought maybe Connect Desktop had something, but no direct download was available there either.
    Am I missing something?
    Mike

    The checkbox is to allow users with Connect Desktop to "fetch" the recordings to their local computer. That box, along with the Admin option must be turned on to allow the Connect Desktop application to pull recordings down for off line playback.
    The download api call has been around for years. It all comes down to applying it appropriately. The documentation on it is in the Web Services guide. For Connect 9 you can view it here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/connect/9.0/webservices/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a171dd0f3-7 fea_SP1.html
    The most common use for this function is to make edits to a recording that can't be done in Connect , or, as you stated, to have multiple versions of the same recording on the server allowing you to have them edited differently. You can also assign a custom URL to a recording you upload, so that is a nice bonus.

  • I want to record a vinyl record directly to my iPad from my USB turntable

    I just bought a new turntable and I have many old vinyl records. Can I record these records directly to my iPad Air? The turntable has a USB output. I could the audio files into my computer but I prefer to do it directly to the iPad if possible.

    If you want to try it, go for it. However videos are imported via the photos app and that only works for photos and videos that follow a very strict naming convention. The reason you get sound on a video is that it's all packaged as the .mp4, .m4v etc of the video file. The connection itself only sees photo and video files. It doesn't see documents and doesn't see audio files. Maybe there's an app out there that does.
    one thing to bear in mind, in 2011 Apple changed the amount of power allocated to the port, and available to the camera connection kit (that's what you're seeing that has the USB in) so stuff that worked prior to that sometimes didn't work after.

  • Record directly from camera to  hard drive

    Can I record a two hour stage play directly to my MacBook Pro's hard drive (or to an external hd)? Are there any issues that I should be aware of?

    You need a camcorder to capture the 2 hour stage play. You can transfer to the computer's hard drive later. There are USB cameras that record directly to the hard drive, but they are low resolution.

  • MPEG 2 - FCP - Quicktime??  - recording directly to your computer

    Hi,
    I am wondering if there is any way to record directly to a Mac in the MPEG 2 format. I own FCP6 and I know it doesn't do it. I don't think Quicktime can do it either. I need to connect my camera (either firewire or analog) to my Macbook Pro and have it record as a MPEG 2. It is for video that must be put on to DVD immediately without any editing.
    Thanks!
    Gary

    Negative.
    To record directly to MPEG2 you need a DVD recorder. they're pretty cheap these days, $150.
    warning: you most likely will NOT be able to attach your camera's Firewire output directly to the DVD burner.

  • Record directly into iMovie?

    I was wondering if I could set up a camera, and record directly into iMovie. I have a long program I need record, and would love to record (import) directly into iMovie.

    Yes you can. But there may be occasional short pauses while your Mac "takes a breath" and indexes what it's storing on your hard disc, etc.
    Remember that DV video takes up about 13 gigabytes of space per hour, so you'll need that much free space on your disc per hour of recording, and keep about 10% of your total hard disc space free, so that your Mac can still do its internal housekeeping.
    You'll need, of course a camcorder with a FireWire/DV/i.Link connection (..all the same thing; just different names for it!..) which generally means a tape-based miniDV camcorder.
    (..Although hi-def HDV camcorders have the same FireWire connection, and record onto the same miniDV tape, there's quite an 'overhead' of processing power which your Mac requires in order to convert the incoming hi-def video into the 'Apple Intermediate Codec' format which lets iMovie edit hi-def, so I'd stick with standard-definition DV if I were you!..)*
    Depending on the make and model of camera, you may need to put a tape in the camera - or not - and switch it to either Record or VCR mode. (..In a quick test here I've just turned on my Sony camera in 'Camera' mode with a FireWire cable connected, and iMovie is displaying the picture from the camera, and imports it when I click iMovie's "Import" button..)
    "..I have a long program I need record.." ..erm, if you're pointing it at a TV screen to record that, you'd want the camera on some sort of support, and - if you have Manual Focus - you may want to de-focus slightly to avoid the moiré pattern which you might get from tightly focused dots (pixels) on the screen. You'd also want to adjust the camera's White Balance so that the screen looks the right colour!
    *P.S: hi-def HDV takes up more than 13GB per hour, so if you were to use hi-def HDV you'd need to allow much more (..up to 4x more..) hard disc space per hour of recording!
