Dv gray squares blank screen Kona LH final cut pro iTunes

KONA/AJA conflict with FCP
If anyone outputs their system's sound through a KONA LH card and AJA KL breakout box, it causes gray squares and then the video output goes fully blank when outputing via FireWire / DV to a deck.
I noticed that this problem only occurs when I run iTunes at the same time as FCP. If I change the system sound to the internal speakers (and not the KONA/AJA card), the problem disappears.
I know this is a third party product, but if there are any suggestions to prevent this, it would be appreciated (other than not doing what I am doing--of course . . .

Automaticlly grabbing screen shots in Final Cut Pro 7

I am trying to find a faster way to grab screen shots on Final Cut Pro 7. Is there anyway to set it to do this automatically in the main viewer? Can I set the time?
Thanks!

Final Cut Pro does not make screenshots of itself.
On a Mac, pressing Shift, command and 3 will take a picture of the screen in any application.
There is screen capture software that will make a video clip which can be edited. [iShowU|http://www.shinywhitebox.com/ishowuhd/main.html] is one example.
It would help if you were to describe exactly what it is that you want to achieve.

Screen Shot with Final Cut Pro???

does final cut have like a screen shot deal. what i am trying to do is take a screen shot or freeze a frame of video and make it a JPG. and i havent figured it out. am i calling it a different name than what it is. i have just started with Final cut. so i am a newbie

If you want a shot of your screen or even just a section of it, you can use Grab.
If you want to export a still frame of a video clip from FCP that you can use in other programs (Photoshop, etc), park the FCP playhead on the frame you want and then go to File->Export->Using QuickTime Conversion. Choose "Still Image" from the Format menu and then choose the file type from the Options menu.

Multiple screen flashes in Final cut Pro 7

im trying to get the screen to flash multiple times with the drums of a song like how others do it. I dont know how or if i need a plugin or anything help would be great!

As Jim stated, there are a lot of different effects that are represented in your youtube clip. Your initial post is asking about a 'flash' effect.

There is a very easy method to manually do this along the timeline by making an edit using the 'dip to color' effect in FC. Place a cut in your piece of film, insert the dip to color transition, change the time duration to something like 10 frames (1/3 of a second), and make the color white. Here is a video turtorial that demonstrates this effect along with a few others.

AJA Kona 3 and Final Cut Pro

Hi,
We have a G5 that has a new AJA Kona 3, Final Cut Pro 5.1.4, and OS 10.4.9. The problem is that when you try and do anything in Final Cut Pro it runs amazingly slow.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave

Have you contacted AJA Technical Support? I am not sure that that card has been cleared for use with the latest versions of Final Cut Pro (last version I knew was supported was FCP 5.1.2) and the Operating system.

Can I use a blue screen with Final Cut Pro X?

Hi, I am at a school that uses Macbooks and has just purchased a blue screen (with lighting). I am new at chromakey / blue screening. I know that you can use iMovie for green screens, but could somebody please tell me what is a good software to use for a blue screen? Does Final Cut Pro X work with blue screens?
If anyone has any advice I would be very grateful!!
Thanks,
From Michelle.

The keyer effect in FCPX works very well with blue screen. Open effects browser and look for Keyer. When you add it to your blue screen clip it will automatically pick up the blue screen and key it out. You also have several controls to fine tune the edges etc.

Can i legally use screen captures of final cut in online tutorials?

hello,
I want to know if I will be in any trouble for using video screen captures of final cut pro in my online tutorials.

I've done dozens of tutorials...and there are hundreds more that use FCP, as well as other professional apps...no problems. The software makers don't care if you do this. Teaching people how to use their software only helps them sell more copies.

Exporting a JPEG in 4:3 from video footage in Final Cut pro is impossible

I'm trying to export a screen grab from final cut pro as a jpg. It's easy to export a jpg image, but as far as I can tell, it is completely impossible to export it as a 4:3 aspect ratio image. My video footage is all 4:3 but all of the jpg images I try to export come out squished into 16:9. This is driving me crazy!
Here is what I'm doing . . .
Export >Using Quicktime Conversion >Format (Still Image)
From their I've tried every setting you can imagine and FCP still obstinately refused to allow me to export a jpg image in it's true proportions.
Please prove me wrong.

Awesome! You rock moblie! Thanks a lot for the info. I was wondering why the image proportions were correct in photoshop (ie. 720x480, I thought those were 4:3 dimensions, but I guess it's just resolution?). I adjusted the image in photoshop to be 720x534 pixels and it looks fine now.
I realize this isn't the smartest question in the world, but why isn't 720x480 a 4:3 aspect ratio? I don't really understand aspect ratio all that well (as you can tell).
Thanks again!

Hey everyone, very desperate here:

Please help me! How do I export my film / get the share option on my FCPX???

Final Cut Pro X STUCK at splash screen

Hi,
I just bought Final Cut Pro X on the App store and it can't seem to get past the splash screen. It doesn't say loading compressor or anything. It just remains blank and seems to not load the program. I can still acess the dropdown menus at the top but nothing is very responsive. I've tried making a new project, bringing all windows to front, reverting to original layout, reinstalling, trashing prefrences and the file in application support. So far nothing as worked.
I'm running a Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon with Snow Leopard version 10.6.8
I would appreciate any help ASAP because I have a deadline on this project I'm working on that is coming up at the end of the weekend.
Thanks,
Evan

I had a similar problem with FCPX sticking at the splash screen, this procedure worked for me.
Go to ~/Library/Caches and delete the "com.apple.audiounits.cache" file.
Then launch Logic Pro/Audio Units Manager and rescan all the audio plug-ins.
FCPX should then startup normally.
If you don't have Logic Pro/Audio Units Manager try removing third-party audio plugins at ~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components

Capturing Video to my final cut pro with lines showing up on the screen

I am capturing video to my computer using final cut pro and it looks like blinds on the screen. Two separate videos showing up in alternating lines. How can I fix it.
thanks
randall

This sounds like dirty heads.
I'd first try cleaning them. Then recapture.
However -- when you say 'lines'... do you mean WIDE lines or like one pixel lines you can only see if you stop the video and look really close?

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...

I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

Title Font Size in Final Cut Pro 6 for exhibition on movie theater sized screen

When editing a documentary and creating title cards (that play as part of the movie - text center of screen on black b.g.), lower thirds identifying speakers, and end credits (both single card and scrolling) are there some standard fonts and font sizes people use so the end result will not look too large when projected on a movie screen?
The titles are all from Final Cut Pro (a few from the Boris plug-in for FCP6) and there are no titles that move or that are created in Motion.
I will be able to make additional edits with the fonts sized for tv, streaming, DVD distribution etc. if I'm lucky enough to end up needing those as well.
Thanks!

If the titling is properly composed for the frame size, it will look correct when projected. That is, if it looks font is legible and in decent proportion in your 1080 timeline, it's not important whether the display is 30 inches or 45 feet; the proportion will not change.
In terms of font selection, medium or bold sans-serif fonts work well on all screens. "Plain" fonts like Helvetica, Ariel, or Lucinda tend to work better than the more stylized fonts, but if style is part oif your message, be my guest...
hope this helps

I just finished a project in Final Cut Pro. Looks good. BUT when I export it the slugs show as a red screen?

Final Cut Pro finished project looks good in FC but when I export The slugs appear as a Red screen any ideas?

You certainly are new at this. That's cool, we all were new at one point.
You have a MacBookPro. That means you are using at least Mac OS X 10.5.6. Otherwise FCS 3 would not even install. You also should have QuickTime 7 installed. If you don't, it's in the Additional Installs folder on the Mac OSX disc that came with your computer.
OS 2 is an ancient Microsoft/IBN product and doesn't run on a Mac and certainly won't run Final Cut.
Your camera shoots in AVCHD format. The files are MPEG 4 and should have been transcoded to ProRes LT for use in FCP. Your Sequence settings should also be ProRes LT to match the transcoded footage.
Your laptop is not a codec.
Wiki definition:
A codec is a device or computer program capable of encoding and/or decoding a digital data stream or signal. word codec is a portmanteau of 'compressor-decompressor' or, more commonly, 'coder-decoder'. A codec (the program) should not be confused with a coding or compression format or standard – a format is a document (the standard), a way of storing data, while a codec is a program (an implementation) which can read or write such files. In practice "codec" is sometimes used loosely to refer to formats, however.
Don't export using QuickTime Conversion. Export as Self Contained with Current Settings (same as your FCP Sequence, which by now is hopefully ProRes LT. Import that file into iDVD.
Better yet, learn DVD Studio Pro and Compressor. Both are included in Final Cut Studio and will give you far more control and much better results.
Whilst your video is encoding, take the time to read the user manuals found in the menu bar under the Help item. They contain a wealth of information and you can amaze the teacher and fellow students with your new found knowledge.
