Capturing Surveillence Footage
I need to capture surveillence footage which is basically 8 different camera viewpoints that rotate from one to the other. Each are only 10 frames long. Does anyone know a way in FCP to capture 10 frames and then skip 70 frames and then capture 10 frames and so on.
Or, is there a quicker way during the editing process to chop the video every 10 frames other then doing it by hand.

There was a thread on the COW about a program called Traffic that could probably automate that for you… look into that.

You need to carefully examine the source video. Most surveillance systems use a proprietary line-multiplexer that encodes those 8 cameras onto one or more frames and then splits them on playback. If so, the system should be able to be programmed to show one camera only. I mean, someone reviewing multi-camera security systems can’t be bothered to waste their time wathcing 7 unrelated cameras if the action they need to see is only captured on one.
You might be able to apply the Strobe filter to play 10 frames and skip 70. Dicey. In After Effects you would use Posterize Time.
