How to publish Motion 5 templates with another editor's Final Cut Pro x

That's also simpel,
Let the Motion 5 designer deliver the map that he made. For example he made a title effect with the title "We Are Awesome Company Title" than you get that map after the head "Effects" map. So he must send that map with all the stuff in it to an editor and the editor place that map in Motion Templates -> Effects.
Restart Final Cut Pro X and there you go.

How to setup an artist mix (audio mixer) on final cut pro 7?

how to setup an artist mix (audio mixer) on final cut pro 7?

Hi Meatpuppet,
I'm having the same issue with not getting my audio through to the client on Ichat theater preveiew. I'm on a mac pro with a small DV camera attached via firewire. when I start the chat, the person on the other side sees and hears me fine, but then when I start sharing in FCP, the video switches so that the remote person sees the time line, but loses the audio from me and doesn't hear the audio from the time line...
The manual recommends "disconnecting and external video device" ( then what do us mac pro folks do?)
So my question for you, and I know that you're on and Apogee Duet, is: Was your tinkering in FCP, your system sound settings, or iChat? in other words, where was the disconnect?
thanks.

Character Generator Editor in Final Cut Pro

At work I spent a good 30 minutes trying to find the Character Generator Editor in Final Cut Pro and could not find it. I would like for someone on here to help me to find it and list the steps in order to put text on video. On time I saw somebody using it but I could not help someone in knowing where it is.

In the VIEWER, you'll see an "A" in a film strip below the picture area. That is a drop down menu. In there is where you'll find the text generators. The built in one called TEXT stinks. Don't use it. You want to go to the BORIS menu and choose TITLE 3D.

How do I do the annoying orange effect in Final Cut Pro X?

You might get a more knowledgeable answer if you post in the actual Pro Applications forums - the FCP users hang out there:

When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

Glad you found the answer. But something seems wrong. FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive. It's not advisable, but it should be possible. You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

How do I import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7. Thanks

How do I import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7? Thanks.

Locate the .caf file you want to use in FCP in the Finder. Normally, iLife sound files will be in Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/(subfolder).
Open the file on SoundTrack Pro, the go to File->Save a Copy As. In the Save As window that will open, navigate to where you want to save the file, then near the bottom of that window, use the drop-down File Format menu to choose AIFF. Set the bit depth to 16-Bit Integer and the Sampling Rate to 48000 hz.
Import the resulting AIFF file into your FCP project.

How to work efficiently with HDV footage in Final Cut Pro 6

Hello everyone! I am fairly new to Final Cut & Mac. I have worked with Final Cut Pro 5 on my Powerbook G4 two years ago. But when I moved to HD, I switched to a PC with Adobe Premiere. Recently, I made the move back to Final Cut as I had problem with the stability of both Premiere 2.0 and CS3. I am really happy with it so far. In Premiere, I used the Cineform codec which performed very well. I also got a license for their MAC codec but unfortunately, I still have to capture under Windows.
Since I have not worked with HDV on the Mac before, I have a few questions which I hope people on these boards can answer.
1) How does Final Cut Pro 6 handle native HDV?
2) Is it beneficial to convert to Pro Res 422 (in terms of quality, but also in terms of editing speed, rendering time, in favor of processing speed etc.)
3) Which Pro Res 422 setting is advised? I will be capturing HDV through firewire and then recompress to Pro Res 422. The Canon XL-H1 squeezes 1080i into 1440x1080. So I figured I need the 1440x1080 setting. There are two options: normal and (HQ). The HQ files are around 4-times bigger then the native HDV file. The normal setting results in files around 2-times bigger. Coming from HDV, do I see the difference between normal and HQ?
4) What systems are recommended so I can work efficiently? i.e. how to setup the scratch disks. I currently have the applications installed on Disk 1, all scratch disks on Disk 2 + 3 (RAID 0) and final results on Disk 4.
I have the following system setup:
- Apple Mac Pro Quad-Core (2.66Ghz)
- 5GB of RAM
- ATI X1900XT 512MB
- Harddisks:
-1- Western Digital 750GB SE
-2- Western Digital 500GB RE2 (member of "VIDEO" - raid 0)
-3- Western Digital 500GB RE2 (member of "VIDEO" - raid 0)
-4- Western Digital 500GB SE
- Two Dell 2407 FWP 24" LCD monitors
Thanks for your help and don't feel obliged to answer all questions, I am already happy if one of them is answered!!

1) How does Final Cut Pro 6 handle native HDV?
Just like FC5.... no worries
2) Is it beneficial to convert to Pro Res 422
Just like the Cineform codec you will benefit from an all i-frame codec when working with titles and graphics. I wouldn't recommend capturing native then converting to ProRez as this will take an extremely long time. Many have found editing native up until the compositing then dropping the sequence into a ProRez timeline to render. I prefer to uncompress the HDV with hardware into a capture card and transcode on capture in real time. Depending on the flavor of HDV and the equipment you use you can probably find a method for this. I shoot run & gun field work on to tape, then with the deck I can export via HDMI and together with another product from Convergent Design it is converted to HD-SDI in the a Kona LHe into FC. The benefit for me is the all digital decompression from 1440x1080 4:2:0 to a 1920x1080 4:2:2 uncompressed HD-SDI signal to use anyway I need to. As to which level of PR I can't comment but I have used the lower level and it looks great. As to raid setup I can recommend www.maxupgrades.com to help you add two - four more drives internally for unbelievable speed and expanded storage space you will want. The owner (Syed) will give you all the support you need to take advantage of the Mac Pro capabilities for a low cost high performance raid solution. Sounds like you have a great setup in mind, you may want to look into the Kona LHe capture card for capturing and monitoring and a Convergent Design product like the HD-Connect SI or MI depending on the deck you are using. If you need broadcast quality monitoring look into the Matrox MXO.
Good Luck

@daguerratype
The Spatial Conform is one of the things I tried. Unfortunately none of its settings fixed the aspect ratio. When I choose "Fit", it simply shows it as 4:3 and leaves left and right black borders on a 16:9 timeline. When I choose "Fill", it zooms the 4:3 video and chops off the top and bottom parts.
@Thomas Emmerich
This is a decent workaround. Fortunately my clips are named in such a way that I can easily drop them all in the timeline and do a Command-F (Find) to search by clip name, highlight all of them in the search results, then use the Inspector to modify the properties of all the clips at once. I have to change X-scale to 133% and Spatial Conform to "Fit", and now at least it fits the 16:9 timeline properly.
Thanks to both replies. I still hope Apple adds a way to fix the clip in the Event browser so that I don't have to do this workaround.

Urgent! Help, how to deal with m2ts file in Final Cut Pro or Compressor...

Dear All:
Please help me solve this urgent issue, I've got source that came with the mpeg-2 Transport Stream (48min content @ 3.42GB size) format , but both my Final Cut 6.0.6 and Compressor 3.0.5 can not open this type of file, is there any way that I can transcode this m2-ts file into a Final Cut Pro and Compressor readable format with the highest quality possible? And how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

hey, Thanks David, actually, I used MPEG Streamclip prior to post this massage, the problem is that my
MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2 can't correctly open this m2ts file (it says it can not read the file size...) and I also tried using VLC to transcode it, but with no luck, I can not find the right video and audio format to come out with QT playalbe file. Let me try ClipWarp to see if it works.

How do I get copyright or license to show Final Cut Pro in use by a character in a film?

Hi,
I am working in a Film Production team in Brazil. We are producing a film where the main character is a film editor and he uses Apple Final Cut Pro at his work.
The film is for all ages - no restriction.
I have already written to "Copyright Permissions" but had no answer since June!
Do I need a copyright license for that?
And if I do, how do I get it from Apple?
Thank you in advance.
Sil

I am not a lawyer, but I don't see how you are infringing on Apple. Remember, most e-mails are not read or replied to. Your best course of action would be to send a priority letter to Apple's street address. They still may not reply, but it will be read.
A test that usually (but not always) works. Is your activity costing the other party money. Is your activity resulting in the other party losing sales.
If your movie is showing some guy at a desk using a companies software; it's beyond my comprehension why they would have a problem. In fact, many companies pay for “product placement”. However, I understand that Apple does not engage in this practice.
But I can assure you, every time you see someone with a Coke (and other products) in a movie the producers were probably paid.

TA26012 Has anyone used keyring 808 spy camera with an itouch and rendered with good results in final cut pro ?

I am using spy camera 808 which has the same 1280 by 720 H264 AAC as an itouch for filming.
Problems occour in fincal cut pro 6.06 on export if i export 808 on its own no issue the issue is the itouch messes up the time liine on sound video, example 20 min video 10 mins 808 and 10 mins itouch equals 12 mins.
So has anyone actualy with the power pc g5 and final cut pro 6.06 had a method where it is succseful for a simple export to quicktime ?
Just tried it with itouch in final cut and fcpro says does not match settings so i let fcpro choose audio needed render that was it export of 5 mins came out as 30 seconds.
So question stands has anyone found a suitable way to bring in itouch video and export in final cut with out issues.?
ps i brought the video in with "image capture" and iphoto no change.
email here if you would [email protected]

My plan is as follows:
-Make a full backup copy of System Drive on an external drive
-Boot from OS Install Disc > use Disk Utility to Erase/Write Zeros to drive
-Install Snow Leopard
-Install FCP, etc.
-Delete "Capture" directory from external "Scratch Disk"
-Transfer all remaining files to another external drive
-Reformat "Scratch Disk
-Cross fingers
-Begin transcoding process again---frequently checking files for errors
I'll let you know how it goes. Still open to other thoughts and suggestions...

TS1233 How do I get chapter markers for iDVD from Final Cut Pro X?

It seems like a tremendous short-coming that Final Cut Pro X doesn't allow for chapter markers that can be used in iDVD or DVD Pro. Surely there is some way to get used-defined markers from Final Cut Pro X or at least re-define the Final Cut Pro X markers in the DVD authoring applications. Does anyone know how to do this?

I have decided to say that my problem is solved by the work-a-rounds that have been submitted. I STILL don't like the fact tha Apple has decided that DVD's are a thing of the past and therefore (chapter) markers are of no use. That may be true is the publishing world of YouTube, Vimeo, etc. but it certainly NOT true for many of us advanced hobbyists that still like distribution on DVD's to our friends or a more localized (private) community -- especially to those who are not computer literate. If Apple wants to exclude us from their customer base, I suggest that base will become even smaller than their competitors who still have chapter markers in their products. I'll get off my soapbox now. . .
