If you go into your menu options by hitting the Function key and scroll down to menu from there in the black screen search for AV/Headphones and select headphones. When your in AV mode you will get the buzzing sound when wearing headphones. Once you select for headphones when you go back out you will see an icon at the bottom of your lcd with a pair of headphones. </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hf20-export-problem-help-needed#post-50456 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 22:22:43 +0000 J.

Yeah, after searching around the internet I found the page you linked to.</p> <p>I usually don't use headphones while filming, but I plugged the headphones in and was surprised to hear a loud buzzing noise instead of the video audio. For me, the noise is also heard in photo and dual shot mode. </p> <p>I'm probably missing a step. Will update if I find a solution to this problem.</p> <p>-Josh</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hf20-export-problem-help-needed#post-50452 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 16:32:31 +0000 cuba1902 50452@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a Canon HF200 Vixia which is similar to yours only that you have onboard memory as well. Lucky you. You should also have a memory stick that you can put into<br /> your computer if you have the slot for it. If not then you can use the usb to connect<br /> to download to your computer. I myself use Sony Vegas and it recognizes mts files so I can edit easily. Premiere CS3 does not support those types of files; however Premiere Pro CS4 does. I found their link here <a href="http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405978.html" rel="nofollow">http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405978.html</a></p> <p>Hope that helps. Now I have a question for you, have you had trouble in movie mode trying to listen to your talent through the use of headphones? For me it only seems to work in photo and dual shot modes, but not in movie mode. </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/finally#post-50135 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:56:31 +0000 Aspyrider 50135@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>a forum for Magix.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/using-video-acquired-from-a-dvr-system-copyright-infringement#post-49869 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 17:41:39 +0000 composite1 49869@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Jerron brings up some good points and some clarification on 'fair usage'. However, the burden of proof will fall upon you. He's right that 'you don't have to comply', but the devil in those details is you'd better be prepared to defend your usage and if they file against your internet provider or your web hosting service, in order to minimize their headaches they will likely cancel your service.</p> <p>On the other hand, giving full credit for where you got the footage from often holds off those inclined to lawyer up. But that also depends on you using short clips and not entire broadcasts. With everyone embedding video the rules are getting pushed to the limits. As is at the moment, you're in the run it up the flag pole and see if anyone objects stage. Sticking to the topics and not attacking anyone specifically may help keep you out of trouble.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/using-video-acquired-from-a-dvr-system-copyright-infringement#post-49859 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:28:42 +0000 lenau92@gmail.com 49859@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Ok so then, what do you think about my situation?</p> <p>Id like to produce a political commentary web show. In this show id like to review things said in the previous nights news. This would entail either reading a transcript, or playing video clips of the discussed piece. Do you think i would run into problems with this? If i could do it... i would post it on youtube, but i also had interest in posting it on my personal website. This website contains advertisement.. would it be wrong to host a video with copyrighted material on a site where im making money from advertising? ... Its hard for me to see myself getting notified from fox news or cnn that they want to remove their clips from my videos... DO you think their are any dangers in just going ahead with it until someone stops me?</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/using-video-acquired-from-a-dvr-system-copyright-infringement#post-49829 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 21:29:15 +0000 jerronsmith 49829@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&gt;&gt;according to fair usage regulations you can use portions of said<br /> material either with permission or without in a non-profit manner which<br /> is a broad description but that's how it works.  b)The moment the<br /> copyright holder objects to your usage and requests you either remove<br /> the materials from your project or take it down entirely according to<br /> law, you are required to do so immediately.&lt;&lt;</p> <p>Just a clarification. Technically the "fair use doctrine" of the copyright laws does not make a distinction between whether you the infringer makes a profit from your infringement or not. What it actually evaluates is whether or not your infringement has a negative effect on the ability of the copyright holder to make a profit. It is the reason that YouTube can't successfully claim fair use for people posting even small clips from film and television. The copyright holder can claim that even small snippets can negatively impact their profits from both rebroadcast and dvd/internet download sales. </p> <p>And by the way if you are claiming fair usage you don't have to comply with cease and desist orders from the copyright holder. That is the entire point of the doctrine, they can't tell you not to use it, because it is a protected use. Keep in mind that the main thrust of the doctrine is to protect scholarly research, criticism, and satire not just because yo felt like using the material, so depending on the context you may be able to get away with a claim of fair use or not. Another issue to keep in mind is something a judge friend of mine once told me; "if you plan on using the fair use doctrine as a defense you must first admit that you infringed a copyrighted work."</p> <p> </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/using-video-acquired-from-a-dvr-system-copyright-infringement#post-49817 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:43:49 +0000 composite1 49817@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Lenau,</p> <p>Yes and no is your answer. Yes it is copyright infringement if you take all or portions of copyrighted work to use in other projects without permission from the copyright holder. No, in that a) according to fair usage regulations you can use portions of said material either with permission or without in a non-profit manner which is a broad description but that's how it works.  b)The moment the copyright holder objects to your usage and requests you either remove the materials from your project or take it down entirely according to law, you are required to do so immediately.</p> <p>Those talk shows you mention almost always have permission to do so.

Cyberlink PowerDirector 7 has three preview options: High-res, Normal Preview, and Low-res. What you see in the preview area may not affect the video itself - just the fact that you cannot preview in full quality.</p> <p>Try exporting the video with Sony Vegas and use a media player (or Movie Maker/iMovie) to see what you're getting.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/loaded-videos-are-blurry-and-bezier-masks-have-outlines#post-48747 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:43:18 +0000 HalOfBorg 48747@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Oops -  here is a picture. </p> <p>On the left is the original Xvid video that plays fine, the right is the SVPro Preview in Lagarith codec.</p> <p>[URL=http://www.imagebam.com/image/188bca41155854][IMG]http://thumbnails10.imagebam.com/4116/188bca41155854.gif[/IMG][/URL]</p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.imagebam.com/image/188bca41155854"><img src="http://thumbnails10.imagebam.com/4116/188bca41155854.gif" alt="free image host" /></a></p> <p> </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/loaded-videos-are-blurry-and-bezier-masks-have-outlines#post-48746 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:40:57 +0000 HalOfBorg 48746@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Whenever I load a video (that looks nice and sharp in any player) into Sony Vegas Pro 8.0c, it is blurry in the Preview window, in "Preview in Player" and in rendered video, even using the Lagarith codec.</p> <p>I can add "Sharpen" to the EventFX, but if I do that then my bezier masks tend to have lines around them.</p> <p>I can find no option anywhere that I can turn on/off to fix this.

My biggest issue is making your audience read things on the screen. Go with a voice over. Second, the text isn't on screen long enough. You, as the editor, should be able to read it twice (maybe even three times) before you cut away from it, or dissolve out of it, or whatever.

I have this project on History class and i need to make a video about the book Uncle Tom's Cabin."</p> <p>I felt honored, you know? my brother was asking for me to help him. He is 16 and i am 14. So, i ask him, "When is it due?"</p> <p>"Tomorrow Morning" - he answers me.</p> <p>" You know that i can't make a video in such short time."</p> <p>"I know it is hard, but i was thinking of doing it on Movie Maker"</p> <p>"If you use Movie Maker i will kill you."</p> <p>"What?"</p> <p>"Ah... Nevr mind! i will do the video for you!"</p> <p> </p> <p>So, I made the video in 3 hours in Sony Vegas Pro 8, Made a really cool DVD Menu  With DVD Archictect and Photoshop, and gave the DVD to him. When he came back the next day, he was like, "WOW CAIO! My teacher loved the video! He said it was one of the best that he ever saw!  MY..ahhh... I mean YOUR video will be on the morning annoucements!"</p> <p> </p> <p>So, doing this video i lerned several things. </p> <p>1- Helping Others Feel Good</p> <p>2- This was the first time that i used the Pan/Crop Tool in Vegas. I think i got it how to use.</p> <p>3- It feels really bad when someone else takes credit for your work. Specially when 5,000 Students see the video, are amazed by it, and they think that you didnt do it.</p> <p> </p> <p>SO, what i am asking, my fellow videomakers, is to tell my your opinion about my video. I mean, I thought it was great, but not THAT GREAT! Is everybody overreacting or is the video really really awesome? Tell me your Honest Opinion. And also, how can i improve my video? Any tips will be appreciated!</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Caio =D</p> <p>PS.: It wasn't a total blow for me. My mom got to know what happened, and she paid me 100 bucks for the video! =D but i am not going to use the money. I am going to donate it to the Pet Shelter that i volunteer on. They are really great people, with really great animals! =D</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hf20-export-problem-help-needed#post-46804 Thu, 14 May 2009 22:49:22 +0000 J.
