<p>This is a stupid question I'm sure. </p> <p>I have an Osprey 210 PCI card from Viewcast. I'm able to just open VLC, select capture device, and it finds it instantly and I can see the video stream from the device connected to the S-Video input of the Osprey card. </p> <p>With the expensive software though such as Adobe's premiere or Pinnacle's solution, I can not find the capture device which VLC reports as dshow:/// ? </p> <p>I must be missing something simple here, I simply cannot believe the costly premiere or pinnacle software cannot connect to a stream that good old VLC finds instantly.</p>

<p>I am very new to all this and and using MPEG Video Wizard. The original files are .vob and I have done some editing. The audio and video are now cut but when I play it back the video flows well (as it should) for a few seconds and then jumps. The audio seems fine. Any ideas? </p>

<p>Is there software to create storyboards from a video file so that you can take notes on the storyboard screenshots at the various times?</p> <p>It be neat if you could watch the movie and click a button to mark the frame for a screenshot in the list.</p> <p><img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a58/Maskkkk/Utilitiy.png?t=1265485279" alt="alt text" /></p> <p>In the image above the red squares would be screen captures from the video file.</p> <p>Additionally I'm interested in the time code being attached to the thumbnail.</p> <p>Does a utility such as this exist?</p>

<p>I'd consider myself a Linux hobbyist (dual boot desktop w/ windows) and definitely don't have a lot of editing experience, aside from a windows video editing program that came with my camera (it's not very good). That said, I'd really like to try a Linux video editor, but haven't seen a lot of good info on them (cinelerra, pitivi, and others).</p> <p>Here's what I'd like to do:</p> <ol> <li>Import video from my sony handycam with firewire (it uses the small tapes)</li> <li>Cut up footage from a few of my latest races</li> <li>Remix the footage with some mp3's</li> <li>Post the video to a sharing site (probably YouTube)</li> </ol> <p>I've read there are problems with stability and other stuff, but the articles might be out of date. </p> <p>Does anyone have any firsthand experience with them? Which is supposed to be the stablest and easiest?</p>

<p>Have just bought a CANON HV40 HD miniDV camera for producing instructional DVDs - the camera is set on fixed focus about 2 meters from the action -after filming i transfer the movie to WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER via an EASY CAP USB DEVICE (that is using the usual yellow red and white cables) using default settings in MOVIE MAKER - then burn to DVD-R AND reproduce the DVDs on NERO. -- Question - is this ok or will i loose much quality doing it this way? </p>

<p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>I found a way to roll back my new Mac Pro to OS X 10.5.8 (crazy process involving a Macbook, removable hard drive and disk imaging tools) but now EVERYTHING WORKS. Rolling back literally solved all of my problems in one fell swoop.</p> <p><strong>/UPDATE</strong></p> <p>Well, I'm at the end of my rope. After a week I've determined that Adobe Prem Pro is fundamentally unstable under Snow Leopard - OS X 10.6. </p> <p>I'm getting constant freezes and complete crashes (no hang up, the program just VANISHES and often corrupts the project file in the process).</p> <p>I can't even get a clean re-install of the program because the Adobe Clean Script utility doesn't detect the previous installations (despite them being there as there is carryover of program prefs, custom bins etc).</p> <p>I'm at the point where I either:</p> <p><strong>a) Do a clean wipe of the drive, reinstall Prem Pro CS4 again and see what happens.</strong></p> <p><strong>b) Roll back to OS X 10.5 and pray it resolves the issues.</strong></p> <p>Has anyone had any experience with either solution?</p> <p>This is extremely dissapointing as Adobe has been vociferous in the contention that the CS4 suite is now working with OS X 10.6. It simply isn't true and borders on criminal business marketing on Adobe's behalf. I feel like they're telling me: "Who you gonna believe? Me or your lyin' eyes?" ;)</p> <p>UPDATE: I've opened a bounty on this question. Specifically, looking for a resolution of the crash on importation of any still image under PremPro CS4.</p>

<p>I made the switch from FCE to FCP6 but for some reason the LOG AND TRANSFER function in FCP6 won't recognize my camera as it did in FCE. </p> <p>Any ideas why? or how to fix it? Or is there another way to import files? I'm using a Canon VIXIA HF100 harddrive camera with SD card.</p>

<p>Situation:</p> <p>I have a Zoom H2 Filed Recorder, Nikon D90 dSLR, Canon G9 point-and-shoot.</p> <p>The 2 cameras recorder video and sound, but use "internal" mics. The sound is not bad - put they pick up everything.</p> <p>The Zoom H2 records in .wav, and .mp3. The sound quality is superior. This is a directional recorder so I can eliminate much of the background sounds.</p> <p>I want to record the sound on the Zoom H2 and sync it to the video output .avi files from the cameras using iMovie 09 (may later use Final Cut Express 4 because I'll need to convert to DV, HD or ACHDV format -- another question altogether!).</p> <p>Questions:</p> <ol> <li><p>I believe it's best to record using .wav to sync, but can I use .mp3 as well?</p></li> <li><p>How do even begin to sync. external audio and video files? I.e., what is the best method?</p></li> <li><p>What's the best way to do this in iMovie 09?</p></li> </ol> <p>... Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Often I thought about extracting favourite scenes from some of my DVDs and mix them up into a funny video mashup. What kept me back so far is my lacking knowledge about video tools and formats. </p> <p>On a Mac, which tools and procedures would you recommend to extract scenes of approximately 5 to 20 sec duration from DVDs?</p> <p>Which format would you recommend to save them in to make them suitable for a mashup?</p> <p>Which video editing tool, preferably free, would you recommend for the mashup?</p> <p>Is there any nice and free program for live VJ-ing? I'd love to play around and maybe show something on a party, but don't intend to do this professionally, thus expensive software is out of question.</p> <p>Target display would be a normal 800x600 consumer beamer.</p>

<p>Hey, I am looking for any hints or resources on how to do a color correction on video. I am using Adobe Premier Pro and Final Cut Express. I am mostly shooting smaller video projects ( interviews and clips of events) in HD. </p> <p>I have been working my way through it on my own, and thought I would ask for any advice. Thx.</p>
