Thinking different is a bloggable trait, is my guess.<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, however, I&#8217;d like to note a particular feature of Apple&#8217;s new iChat AV application that I have not seen mentioned elsewhere. I&#8217;ve been using my Canon Elura DV camera as the iChat video input, and it works flawlessly. I&#8217;ve been videochatting with Matthew and Kim in New York; Matthew and I have even used it to gloat or despair while playing Scrabble online.<\/p>\n<p>But today, I was using my DV camera to do some logging and capturing in FCP when I started to wonder if I could send that video feed over iChat. I fired up a one-way video stream to Felix (who &#8220;only&#8221; has voice, the second class citizen that he is), and sure enough, he could see the rough cuts, with sound, while we commented away via text. In other words, whatever is on a DV tape can be monitored live by any iChat AV user.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.stefangeens.com\/graphics\/blog\/ichatav.jpg?resize=376%2C356\" width=\"376\" height=\"356\"><\/p>\n<p>Sure, the quality is much lower than full-blown DV, but what a collaborative tool! You can now show rough cuts or edited works in real time to clients, and elicit live feedback. This is going to make the video crowd very happy.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure that with a bit of tweaking, it should be possible to get a video-in feed that comes off the television. This way, It&#8217;ll be possible to follow the baseball World Series live off American TV, should I be so inclined, and should Matthew be so kind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much as I try to get people to blog, I try to avoid blogging about blogging.
