Direct recording into FCE 4

I record our church sevices, I use a MBP 2.4 GHZ with 4 mg Ram and 250 GB HD. I am using a Panasonice PV-GS180. Can I directly record into FCE 4. I mean no tape just directly into FCE 4.
Thanks

Yes you can. You'll need to set Device Control to "Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now. I'd recommend also recording tape in each camera for back-up. Live captures can go bad.

  • How to get audio from a tape recorder into FCE?

    Hello All,
    I have a older Sony TC-D5 tape recorder (the sound recording is still extremely good and, in fact, much better than any of my digital camcorders at 16bit). My question is: how can I get this into FCE4? The TC-D5 has a left and right RCA audio out plugs. If I plug that into the external mic connection in my intel iMac will FCE4 recognize this as an audio source? Is there some other way I'm not thinking of?
    Thanks for your help.
    Mike

    Hi Ian, Martin and Michael
    If I understand you, you'd like to shoot sound with your TC-D5, and Video with your Canon HV20 - Correct?
    If so, I suppose you're getting better audio quality with the AKG and Tape set up. Of course you'd be limited to shooting where there's AC Power available and logistics with your set up.
    In any event, sure I'd give it a try, but as Ian pointed, be prepared to fiddle and jiggle the sound around on the Audio Track to get it in sync. Tape Speeds are subject to change. There are a few tricks you can use to cue your tape recording to when you start filming; (Ian's Tips)
    But there are also other methods, (as Ian Pointed out), probably many dozens to choose from. If you're able to use/barrow a mixer you can still use your AKG. Other methods; Using an overhead boom with a really good shotgun Mic. The approaches are endless.
    In regard to strickly narrative, I've settled on a combo of both an Audio Techinca Lapel Mic and an Audio Technica Shotgun Mic. You can hear some of this in my trailer below.
    Don't forget Michael, as long as you get 'SOLID' audio with strong peaks and no distortion, with minimum background noise, you can always choose dozens of Post Audio applications, (including FC's plug-ins).
    Good to see you both again Martin and Ian!

  • Import  .mov directly into FCE 4.0?

    Can you import a .mov directly into FCE 4.0?

    It depends. FCE works with a limited number of codecs, resolutions, etc. Open your .mov file in the QuickTime Player, then open the Movie Inspector (command/I) and see what it says.

  • Importing Sony DVDirect Video on DVD into FCE

    Hello...good wishes,
    I've been recording video from a Canon XL2 directly to DVD using a Sony VRD-VC20 DVDirect DVD Burner. When I try to import this video material into Final Cut Express, FCE does not recognize the format.
    Apple Support says that the XL2 Camcorder is a supported device in FCE, but is not able to be conclusive regarding video recorded to DVD using the Sony DVDirect Burner.
    The only way I've found to get any of this video into FCE is to play the DVD's in a standard DVD player' record the video back onto DV tape, and import them through the XL2. This is a daunting, funky proposition given the hours and hours of video I need to edit - and I worry about degradation of quality using this process.
    Are there any third party drivers written out there or do any of you have ideas how I can get this video from DVD to FCE?
    Thanks~

    I use a Sony VRD-VC20 to burn Tivo recordings and VHS tapes to DVD. I just picked up a program called Cinematize2. It's a DVD clip extractor that retails for about $50 US. It allows you to set an in and out point on a DVD and extract the clip into a format compatible with FCP/FCE. Previously I used MPEG Streamclip 1.3.1 which allows you to export mpeg2 files to Quicktime, AVI, or DV format for use in FCP/FCE. Mpeg Streamclip also allows you to set in and out points before exporting. The link to download MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 is: http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html.
    In order to use the MPEG2 playback and converter feature you will also need the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. You can buy it from Apple (www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2) for about $30 US. If you have either Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro, then the component is already installed and you don't have to buy it; but you may need to download the latest version from Apple (www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/download).

  • How do I get analog hi 8 video into FCE?

    I am trying to get hi 8 video into FCE (or iMovie HD). I have the hi 8 tape in a Hitachi D.S.P. III (digital signal processor) camcorder. This is connected to my Sony mini-DV digital camcorder. My camcorder has A/V>DV option. I have my camera connected to the computer via Firewire. Should I use the A/V>DV option to do this? I am not getting the sound from the hi 8 tape and the video looks bad. What am I doing wrong?
    Barbara

    Well, I read everything in the manual and think I've done exactly what it says. When I connected to my computer, as I mentioned, the video was poor (perhaps tracking needed to be adjusted on the Hi 8 camcorder), but I don't understand why I didn't get any audio.
    I also tried to connect the hi 8 camcorder directly to my DVR thinking I could burn it to a DVD and then extract from that to do more editing although I know the quality would not be as good. Again, when I tried to record, I got poor video quality and no sound. When I just play the hi 8 tape connected to my DVR, there definitely is sound and the video looks fine. I am at a loss--this is beyond my knowledge.
    Thank you for your assistance, and if you have other suggestions, I would try them. However, the hi 8 camcorder and tape will not be available to me after tomorrow as my brother will be taking them back to Florida when he leaves Saturday. My only other thought is to record to a VHS tape and then I'm sure I can get that into my Sony camcorder because I've done that before. But, I sure would like to know how to make the other work right.
    Thanks very much!

  • Inserting records into Table with check table logic in place

    I want to insert records into a table, and have the check table to not allow invalid entries.  Is there a function out there that will allow this?  I am currently using the insert statement and it is working except that it is not giving an error when the value does not exist in the check table for the particular fields.
    INSERT INTO ZSD_XREF VALUES WA_XREF.
    That is the basic statement I'm using ZSD_XREF has several fields one being the material number field tied to the check table which happens to be MAKT file.  The insert statement is not validating the material numbers using the check table, or at least it is not giving an error.  Any ideas?

    Paul,
    Unfortunately, open SQL statements such as INSERT, UPDATE do not go through the check table logic as they directly hit the database layer. Check table checks are performed only if you go through application layer that is when you enter the same data through a screen.
    You have to do the checks yourself.
    Happy checking!!!

    Hi BownieCross;
    If you are using a local database file in your project the following may be the cause.

    Explanation:
    The value of the Copy

    if newer or Copy
    always. The database in your output folder (the database that’s being modified when you test your application) is overwritten every
    time that you build your project. For more information, see How
    to: Manage Local Data Files in Your Project.

  • What setup do I use to import files from my hard drive into FCE 4.0.1?

    I can import files (HD from Canon camera, saved as QuicktimeMov - ratio 1920 x1080, 25fps) to FCE but they show up as needing rendering.
    (red line above timeline)  What should my settings be to make them compatible to FCE?  I have it set on Apple Codec Intermediate 1920x1080i50 with HD format.
    Have tried all the settings but come up with the same result.  Also, do I need to compress my files before I import them to FCE?
    Thanks.

    Video from the 550D (acually, all Canon DSLRs) cannot be used directly in FCE.  There is a Canon EOS plugin that allows you to directly Log & Transfer from the DSLR into Final Cut Pro, but the plugin does not work with Final Cut Express.
    In order to use the 550D video in Final Cut Express you will need to convert it to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec by using a utility such as MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.  You need to do this before you import the video into FCE.
    Even though the 550D saves video as .mov files (QuickTime files) it uses a Canon H.264 codec which is why it needs to be transcoded into Apple Intermediate Codec before you can use it in FCE.

  • Capturing with iMovie and importing into fce 4

    Hi, everytime I try to capture mini dv footage from my Panasonic camcorder using final cut express, the transfer/capture crashes.
    However, capturing using iMovie 08 gives me no problems at all.
    Before I spend more time looking into the errors, if I capture using iMovie 08 and then import that into fce 4, am I losing any audio / video quality? I read somewhere that iMovie works off raw dv files - is this what would get imported into fce?
    Note: I would import the iMovie project into fce and not be exporting first from iMovie and then importing into fce.
    thanks

    My video is on mini-DV. The camera I used to record was a panasonic ag-dvx100 PAL. I am using DV-PAL easy setup. I am playing back with a panasonic nv-ds30 camcorder (I rented the other one).
    I have now managed to get past the dropped frames - that seemed to have been the test tape. I am now using a different tape, the actual tape i used for the footage. Now everytime I capture (using either mark in/out or capture now) the capture stops with a locating timecode and then breaks. I can't seem to capture it all in one go. This scene when I shot it was a single scene so there were no stops/pauses during the recording.
    There seemed to be some discussion on this in the thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4183209#4183209) but that was a different camera.
    any help would be great.

  • Footage has to be imported into FCE first?

    I have a lot of DV footage that I captured into iMovie and it has been saved at QT files DV format. When I bring the raw footage in from my hard drive and play it back from within FCE...the video plays for 2seconds then pauses constantly.
    Do I have to recapture all of my footage directly into FCE for it to work properly?

    About 1 year ago, I imported all of footage from my DV camcorder into iMovie '06. Then I exported the footage as a quicktime file set in the DV format. So, when I either import or open the QT file from within FCE4, it comes into the main window and then I drag it over into the preview window and hit play. It plays but constantly plays, then pauses or I guess as you say that is considered dropping frames?
    So, perhaps that is my problem is that I imported the footage already into iMovie '06 and now it is dropping frames because I have not exported it properly from the beginning when I was archiving all of my DV footage from a year ago?
    Just wondering if you recommend me re-importing all of my film into FCE.

  • IMPORTING FOOTAGE INTO FCE AND MERGING FILES WITH FINAL CUT STUDIO

    So I recently purchased Final Cut Express to create off-line, rough cut projects...to be completed by more qualified editors other than myself. But I want to make sure that Final Cut Express is the right system for me.
    Here are my questions:
    1.) I will be using a variety of video formats for this system, and will be ingesting primarily through a shared media drive. Should I be concerned by the fact that it says I can only use "HDV, AVCHD, and DV" for simultaneous edit? What if I originate my material on Beta or DVCPro and want to import using firewire?
    2.) Will my timelines be compatible to other (higher-end) Final Cut programs?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Chip

    Welcome to the forum!
    1.) If the video you plan to use is not HDV, DV, or AVCHD then it will not be able to be ingested by FCE. The best way to get your media into FCE would be to capture it, but if it originates somewhere else you can still import it into FCE provided it is one of the formats cited above. If your media is not one of these three, you will have to use a convertor to make it "readable" by FCE. If you want to keep the full resolution of another format, you are better off directly going to Final Cut Pro, as it can handle these formats.
    2.) Final Cut Pro will be able to open your Final Cut Express timelines, but you will not be able to go back the other way around. So only let your editors open the project in FCPro once you are done using it in FCE.
    If you are planning to shoot professional videos, FCE transcodes into Apple Intermediate Codec, usually giving you lower quality then if you were to ingest the media in FCPro, which uses ProRes for higher quality yet larger file sizes. If you are not worried about the mentioned drawbacks to using FCE as a first-cut before FCP, then you should be fine.

  • Insert records into non base table

    Hi
    I would like to insert records into a table when a button is clicked. The table is a non base table. I am trying to save records displayed in a form into a history table which is not part of the form. I am using the following code stored in a program unit then called when the button is pressed. It doesn't generate any error but the records are not inserted. Can anyone please help.
    hist_id := 1;
    cust_name := :CUSTOMER.cust_name;
    loan_date := :LOAN.loan_date;
    return_date := LOAN.return_date;
    FORMS_DDL('INSERT INTO LOAN_HISTORY VALUES'||hist_id||','||cust_name||','||loan_date||','||return_date);

    Why do you need forms_ddl built in for a DML statement to be used in form?
    U can directly use insert.
    hist_id := 1;
    cust_name := :CUSTOMER.cust_name;
    loan_date := :LOAN.loan_date;
    return_date := LOAN.return_date;
    INSERT INTO LOAN_HISTORY VALUES (hist_id,cust_name,loan_date,return_date);
    It should work perfectly.

    I'm looking at buying the Zen Neeon 2. I want to use the Direct Recording to record straight from, say a CD player into the Neeon. But I want to record in WAV format at 6 bit, 44.k (full CD quality). I've read through the manual and it's not clear.
    Does anyone out there know that it will defintely reord direct in full quality WAV format?

  • Question about bringing Hi8 movies into FCE

    I have many 8mm tapes dating back, 5-15 years. I would like to bring the footage into FCE and then brun them to DVD before I lose too much quality (we have watched them many times over the years).
    I read that I would require a TBC device. I am not familiar with this device, or what it does, or how it works.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/TJ555LL/A
    Can someone explain to me how I would connect this to my Imac and the process of using it to convert my old tapes?
    Thank you
    -Mike

    If yours is a digital-8 camera, you can capture from the camera. If it's not, then you can't; the footage must be digitized by some device between your camera and your Mac. (If you have a dv camera, you could connect 8mm cam to dv cam, dub to dv, then capture from dv cam directly.) In any event, one hour of dv footage is about 13GB.
    My suggestion is to look somewhere OTHER THAN an Apple store for a better price on the converter. Do an online search.
