I could not get a clean output through the menu settings but I could set up a joystick shortcut for "display" toggle and that got rid of the on screen stuff. Maybe the zoom issue mentioned above is still there, but otherwise it's clear. I bought 3 of these to shoot videos with for work, which never happened, but maybe they can try again in more of a livestream setup, which would be cool.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02974050217947284953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049980373320877853.post-72709158872266342462020-08-27T04:49:07.168+08:002020-08-27T04:49:07.168+08:00@Tahirih, you had the same idea as me.

I've managed to run HDMI out from the dock through my Flint 4KP capture card to MAC. I'm running OBS to see what's on the cam. I can't see to get a clean output from the Xacti. I see in OBS all the screen overlays from the Xacti. Is that something that Black Magic card is able to remove to help get that clean output?Tahirihhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776941197698234831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049980373320877853.post-53719760313584078172012-12-31T14:58:42.528+08:002012-12-31T14:58:42.528+08:00Wonderful article!

But try to remove the battery and put it back to see if it works first.<br /><br />For Laszlo,<br />The HD2000 can definitely be used as a webcam as<br />this is stated in the manual (not the main user manual but in the Xacti Software manual). When you connect the camcorder to the PC, the USB Connection menu will come on and you can select PC Camera as one of the options. I think the FH1 should be the same. But it is much cheaper to get a normal webcam.<br />Also if you connect the camcorder to a HDTV via HDMI, the screen will show what the camcorder sees but not when you start recording.

Please tell me about usb connecttion with pc. I have a kodak digital camera and a pc with analog tvcard to watch tv from cable. This card also is able to record or handle incomming semnals from my kodak, but this take off after one minute of no using. Skype recognize this incomming semnals and can use as a webcamera but just for 1minutes. I see in the owners manual about stand by mode of the camera but it is not clear for me if the camera (sanyo) send semnal without recording. Can you tell me when you connect the camera to the hdtv (if you didn't have a digitalizer card in the pc) can you see on the tv what the camcorder see without recording, and this is for 5 or 12 minutes. When it's work I'll use this as a webcamera too.<br />Sorry for central european english<br />LászlóAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049980373320877853.post-50460775423014008822010-07-12T17:17:45.867+08:002010-07-12T17:17:45.867+08:00Hello,

The problem is, i need to ...Thanks for the advice.<br /><br />The problem is, i need to totally edit the footage to make a film with lots of fancy bits and bobs. Normally I use Windows Movie Maker or Adobe Premiere when I want to test my abilities. <br /><br />The main problem I have though is converting the full 1080p footage to a lower quality that does not jerk or stutter. I may try to burn the raw footage to a dvd at dvd quality, which will hopefully mean the footage is playable and editable on my pc. When I convert the footage using several conversion tools, the jerkyness is also converted so I feel like its a problem with actually reading the source data. In this case I think im probably going to experience the same issue if i burn the data to a dvd at dvd quality???<br /><br />Its really annoying as the files play perfectly on the camera screen, but not on a laptop or pc! Thats why I was thinking of trying to capture the video playing on the screen via windows movie maker (or similar)like you can with mini dv cameras. Not sure if that is possible with solid state cameras though. Ill give it a try tonight.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Mike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049980373320877853.post-28733052339038076892010-06-29T21:08:12.624+08:002010-06-29T21:08:12.624+08:00Hi Mike, I think you can try the following options...Hi Mike, I think you can try the following options.<br /><br />If you can edit the videos on your laptop using the Nero software provided, do so and burn them onto DVD as described in my post above, but at DVD quality. Otherwise, do it on somebody's more powerful computer. You can also try burning onto DVD using other video editing software such as Corel VideoStudio.<br /><br />If you have problem editing, the easiest way is to use the built-in editing functions in the camcorder with the Cut and Join. I find this adequate (all my vimeo and youtube videos are edited just using these two basic functions) unless you want to add fanciful stuff. See my post on this.<br /><br />If you have problem burning DVD, you can always copy the video files onto a HDD or flash drive and view the captured videos (raw or editied) on any new HD media player that can play them straight on HDTV in all their glory. See my Blog on this. Files can also play on normal TV but at reduced quality, of course.<br /><br />Hope this helps.

I have a major problem.....<br /><br />My friend just brought this camera so I could film his wedding last weekend. Without thinking too much into it I went ahead and filmed the whole day in full 1080p/60p.<br /><br />When I went to view the files on my computer (2ghz processor and 2GB of ram) the videos were jerky and seemed to skip frames. I now undertand that why this is but i desperatly need a solution. I need to know if there is a way of downgrading the video quality so that I can edit them on my current laptop and make a dvd for him. It doesnt need to be of a super high quality, just so it looks good when watching on 32" tvs etc with smooth playback and half decent audio.<br /><br />Ive tried several converters but the jerkyness remains as I presume the source file on the sd card cannot be read properly by my laptop in its current image quality and frame rate.<br /><br />Is there anything else I can try? Ie capturing whats playing on the video camera directly to pc and saving it in a different quality etc???? Or burning the seperate files so they play perfectly on a DVD then copying files back to pc in a different quality???<br /><br />Really hope someone can help as ill be devastated if nothing can be done so that I can make him a half decent quality wedding video.<br /><br />Many Thanks<br /><br /><br />Mike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
