Adding Fonts for use in FCP

I was wondering how to add fonts to Final Cut Pro. I found one that seems to go in the "Font Book" folder of Tiger, but can't see it in FCP. Any suggestions?

Hi David, you mention that not all fonts work in FCP. Are the ones that work/don't work documented anywhere? Do you happen to know whether Helvetica Neue is one that will not work? I have a client who requires that font but it comes up looking italicized in FCP even though the control window says Plain.
The font shows up okay in other applications. I was worried that this FCP file might have been corrupted but the font behaves the same way even in a new file, and even on another computer.
I have a Genius Bar appt this coming Sunday but maybe you can save me a trip. Thanks!

Convert vob files for use in FCP X

I need to convert VOB files for use in FCP X on my macbookpro in OS X Lion (10.7.5) I use Clipwrap to convert other formats, but it does not seem to accept VOB for conversion (or if it does, I have not figured out how). In searching the web, I've come across several products that tout themselves as the best, fastest, easiest VOB to Prores converters etc., some that advertise as "free" when actually only a watermarked trial version is free. I have no idea of the actual quality of any of these (some examples are Brorsoft video converter for Mac, and Acrok HD Video Converter...), and would like some input from folks w/ experience in these things before dropping $ on the problem.
In another thread on this site I read something about MPEG Streamclip, & something about needing to separately download an MPG2 converter for it w/ Lion or Mountain Lion - the process sounded confusing and I couldn't tell if it applied to my situation or not...
Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed.

MpegStremclip is THE Swiss Army Knife, when it comes to conversion, a 100% reliable, it IS absolutely free (any download a dollar = Stefano would be a millionaire!), I dare to say it is THE most recommended 3d party tool in the editor community ....
How & why you need to install the mp2 plug-in does Signore Cinque explain in simple words on his website:

[svn:fx-trunk] 9349: * Added support for using getStyle() in Mxml data binding expressions.

Revision: 9349
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-08-17 11:32:37 -0700 (Mon, 17 Aug 2009)
Log Message:
Added support for using getStyle() in Mxml data binding expressions.
In addition to the existing "function return watcher" data binding
functionality, we register to listen for style related change events
when we see a function marked with [Bindable(style="true")].
UIComponent's and TextGraphicElement's styleChanged() will now
dispatch events for "getStyle()" FunctionReturnWatchers to handle.
When null or "styleName" is passed into styleChanged(), we dispatch
an "allStylesChanged" event.
QE notes: mxunit test to follow
Doc notes:
Bugs: SDK-20394
Reviewer: Glenn, Pete F, Peter D

Is noteworthy for integration: only if you want to start using it.
Code-level description of changes:
modules/compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/as3/binding/DataBindingExtension.java
    Modified generateWatcher() to do the AST equivalent of the
    WatcherSetupUtil.vm change.
modules/compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/as3/binding/FunctionReturnWatcher.java

Licensing fonts for use in publishing books.

Hello everyone,
I was reading the forums here and I see a lot of questions concerning licensing of fonts with some very competent people replying. I'm hoping that someone can clarify my position regarding font licensing.
I'm a new small publisher in the UK, and intend to make print on demand books via Lightning Source. I hadn't quite appreciated the scope of font licensing and want to make sure I get it right.
I need to purchase or license a font for use in the books I'll be publishing. The font will only be used on my computer for typesetting. The font will then be embedded in a non-editable PDF to go to Lightning Source, who only use the file to print physical copies of the book.
I will also be doing eBooks but these will NOT have any fonts embedded in them. I only make this clear because some licenses seem to differ if you're commercially selling an electronic file with the font embedded. The only file that will have it embedded is the PDF which is itself not sold, only used for printing.
I did read somewhere in these forums that all Adobe fonts are licensed for this.
If someone could please put my mind at rest as to what I need to buy I would be very grateful.
Many thanks!

Typescript,
I will also be doing eBooks but these will NOT have any fonts embedded in them.
Does this mean that the viewers will see their own (standard) fonts in the eBooks?

Capturing audio from telephone for use in FCP

My requirement is quite specific, and so far none of previous posts seem to answer my question. So...
I'm looking to capture audio from my telephone for use in FCP. It won't be a telephone conversation, but a voice text. In other words, an SMS sent to a landline. The audio is saved as a voice message on the answer machine. My phone / answer machine is fairly basic - it has a speaker and the only ports it has is for power and the telephone line itself. I have tried a very basic method of playing the message on speaker and capturing it on a mini DV - but that results in too much audio edit to get it to sound acceptable. My Mac is a G5 and I have the full FC studio, but just not sure of best way to get audio onto the Mac without losing too much of the sound quality.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks all...

you need a telephone audio interface like the products made by the fine folks at gentner, telos or jk audio. i have a celltap from jk audio, works very very well. http://www.jkaudio.com/celltap.htm

External Hard Drive for PowerMac G5 for use with FCP Studio

Hello,
I'd greatly appreciate any recommendation for an external hard drive for a PowerMac G5 for use with FCP Studio.

We see alot of Lacie issues here and elsewhere.
Drives fail... period. I believe you hear more about Lacie drives failing because they sell a ton more of them than many other suppliers. I've got 8 of em sitting right here on the desk and two more at the second station. I've lost one since I started using them years ago (and it had problems right out of the box) and I use them pretty heavy.
I understand that they use several different brands of drives in their enclosures, but from my experience they must have pretty good QC standards for what they package.
The guy said the G Techs were a little overkill for his needs. Lacie doesn't pay me. But if someone asks "how are Lacies?" I'll tell them they've been great for me and many others I know, especially if your requirements are capturing DV.
In five years, I ain't heard anybody say anything about it.
As for FCP. I love it! In 20 years of business, it's probably the purchase that's given me the most bang for my buck. But if you haven't heard people knock it, you've never met an Avid zelot, bruhhhhh, just the thought gives me shivers.
The drives X mentioned are designed for video work.
What Studio said, well he gives out some of the best advice on this board
(and maybe the most! ) and my reply to his post... that's why I used the little smiley face. No offence intended X.
I only meant to say that, in a world where software like FCP can do what it does at the price it does it, and drives like Lacie and G Tech can give you the storage they do for the price they do, the line between consumer and professional products is easily blurred.

How to add a barcode font for use in Web Intelligence (WebI) XIR2 and 3x?

Anyone have the steps to add a barcode font to WebI XIR2 and 3x? Not finding a good KBase on it and was also wondering if there any "gotchas" in terms of printing and exporting to .pdf.
Thanks.

Hi Kevin,
Also, if the solution provided in the previous post doesn't helps you then try the following solution.
Following are the steps to apply barcode font (IDAutomationHC39M):
1) In Windows Explorer, browse to the following folder:
-- C:\Windows\Fonts
2) On the File menu click Install New Font then browse to the font you want to install.
3) Edit the properties on the fonts you have just added:
In the "Embedding" tab, you should get a property like "Preview & Print embedding allowed".
But, nothing related to a license limitation regarding the embedding, else, you will not be allowed to use the added fonts in PDF or XLS generation.
4) Once the above points have been done:
-- Copy the .ttf fonts you want to use in the following XIR2 folder:
<BO_INSTALL_DIR>\Business Objects\j2sdk1.4.2_08\jre\lib\fonts
5) Add the following entries into the fontalias.xml file, which is in the following folder:
<BO_INSTALL_DIR>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\fonts
The template looks like the following one:

<FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="ttf" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M (IDAutomationHC39M)">
<FONTATTRIBUTE BOLD="false" ITALIC="false" LOGICAL="IDAutomationHC39M" PHYSICAL="IDAutomationHC39M.ttf"/>
</FONTFAMILY>
<FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="win" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M"/>
<FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="java" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M"/>
<FONTFAMILY PLATFORM="html" NAME="IDAutomationHC39M"/>

6) Add the following entries into the u2018i18n.xmlu2019 file, which is in the following folder:
<BO_INSTALL_DIR>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\scripts
You have different sections in this i81n.xml file.
-- Under the first section
<I18N>
<FontFinder>

u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026..
</ FontFinder>
< FontFinder2>

u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026..
</ FontFinder2>
-- Under the u2018font_aliasingu2019 section
<font_aliasing>
<T1>
u2026u2026u2026u2026.
</T1>
<TTF>
u2026..

<os type=u201Dallu201D>
<Attributs style=u201D0u201D filename=u201DIDAutomationHC39M.ttfu201D encoding=u201Du201D aliaspsname =u201CIDAutomationHC39Mu201D/>
u2026
</os>
</TTF>
7) Save the both files.
8) Restart the Businessobjects servers or local computer.
9) Login in to infoview and create a new web intelligence report by using the Java Report Panel or Html Report Panel;
10) In the left pane, select the "Cell Format Properties": you will notice that an entry "IDAutomationHC39M" has been added into the font dropdown list.
Just test the above u2018IDAutomationHC39Mu2019 barcode font, at your end and update me with the results.

Problems installing Sonata Std font for use in Word 2011 for Mac

I just purchased and installed Sonata Std font (downloaded from the Adobe website) for use on my 2009 MacBook, running OSX 5.8. I'm trying to use the font in MS Word for Mac 2011. Sonata Std is now showing up in the list of available fonts within Word, but when I select the font and go to type in characters within the font (such as flat and sharp signs, using the proper keystrokes), the characters are not displaying correctly (not at all, in fact — I get a series of boxy-looking glyphs rather than proper music accidentals). Are there any additional steps that I need to do in order to install the font and get it to work properly in Word?

What are your language & region settings? Have you tried inserting those characters via your keyboard/ charmap utility? What is your default language/ encoding/ compatibility setting in Word? Definitely some sort of Unicode issue...

Converting VOB Files For use in FCP

Hello,
I have a large FCP project using VOB files shot on a DVD Recorder.
I have been been using a freeware called MPEG Streamclip to convert them into Quicktime Files for use with FCP7. The resulting QT files have all been very choppy when used in the FCP Timeline etc.
I have options with this freeware to convert to MPEG, TS or export to Quicktime, DV, AVI, MPEG4 or other formats.
Any suggestions on how to bring these VOB files into Final Cut Pro so that they work well.
Thanks,
Marc

Nick's tutorial is good. Read it.
I had been using Cinematize for this but would always have trouble with the aspect ratio.
With MPEG Streamclip I have no problems if I do it this way:
Export to QuickTime
Change Compression to: Apple DV/DVCPro-NTSC
Quality: 100%
Frame Size: 720x480 (DV-NTSC)
Sound: Uncompressed (the default)
Make Movie
I do a preset of the above.
Now, when you take that resultant file into FCP:
In FCP make sure your sequence set-up is DV anamorphic (if footage is anamorphic/16:9). When you bring that file into FCP it will not be flagged as anamorphic. In the browser scroll over and check mark it as anamorphic. NOW drag into the timeline. Aspect ratio is good if you do it this way.

Converting movie for use in FCP

O Nobleissimos!
I exported some movies from TheMovies animation game and want to optimize their use in FCP. Tho I can open in QT, I can't in FCP. Using MPEG Streamclip I want to export to an appropriate format. What I wind up with from The Movies is:
Format: H.264. 1280x720, Millions
AAC, 2 Channels, 44100 kHz
FPS: 20
I see my best options for exporting as Apple DVCPRO HD 720p60, Apple HDV 720p30 or Apple HDV 720p60; OR match my Canon HV20's HDV 1080i60, some footage of which I'll be using. Or maybe another codec?
By using the 720 format in my sequence the animation will be at 100% and I can actually zoom in a bit with my Canon footage creating some flexibility in editing.
Therefor, for video I think maybe I should use the HDV 720p30.
For 'sound' I would choose either Auto or 48kHz, probably 48kHz since auto might just keep the 44.1kHz.
Since the above is progressive I will uncheck 'Interlaced Scaling'.
If you have any tips, or see a better way, plese post.
Thanks!

Ha! That is funny!
MPEG was quick on that batch, too. (my first time.)
And smart move with those little cams, following guys with cams does sound dangerous. Reminds me whenever I see shows of guys struggling and whining as they climb Everest or whatever, I always think, "Yea, and what about the cameraman." Those guys must be supermen!

Question about saving JPEGs in Photoshop for use in FCP

Ah, Mr Stupit here, I don't see anywhere else to ask, and since the pics will be used in FCP I"ll try here.
In photoshop I rotated the pics to get the figure upright for ease of handling in FCP, and now I'm asked to save the pic and I'm given the choice of Baseline Standard, Baseline Optimized and Progressive, with Baseline Optimized being the default. Usually I go with the default, but now I figured I'd be clever and ask the geniuses here what they think: Which should I go with?
Another question, am I losing some quality by re-saving this JPEG? I don't want to get into whether I should save as Tiffs, I find my FCP struggles with such large sizes and I'm happy with the JPEGs. Of course, maybe that's why I'm Mr Stupit.

Thanks for the reply!
The problem when I save them as tiffs, png, etc is they become really large and when I open them in Viewer or place them in a sequence I have to wait and wait while the little balls spins. I'm thinking that maybe I'll just use the original JPEGs and rotate them in the Canvas. As long as I don't re-save them there shouldn't be any difference in quality between using them in FCP as opposed to re-saving them as Tiffs, etc, and then using them in FCP, right?
Sorry, but someone on another forum said just using JPEGs in FCP will result in a loss of quality though why should an untouched original somehow lose quality by being placed in an FCP timeline, I don't get it nor did I get an explanation.
I guess I'm Johnny Stupit & Confused.

Capturing Computer Monitor video for use in FCP project.

I'm working on an industrial film for a company that makes websites, and they want to put in video clips of their websites. I'm looking for a good program that will allow me to capture my desktop and make FCP ready videos. It doesn't need to be free, it just needs to do what I need. I'm also looking for the right settings to set for those movies for use in a standard DV NTSC project.
Thanks in advance!

Adding font for 9.0.4

I'm trying to add a font to a mac version 9.0.4. I've tried multipe ways of installing the font. I've placed the font in the fonts folder, placed the font in the system folder and the mac doesn't recognize it as a font. Its a post script font that should work on this verions of the mac. Can anyone think of something that i am overlooking? The font name is Din Schriften

Hi, pcguy2 -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
A postscript font for Mac OS 9 and earlier comes in two parts - a postcript file, also referred to as a printer font; and a suitcase, which contains at least one bit mapped font file (usually several are included). Both of those items, the postscript file and the suitcase, must be placed in the Fonts folder in System Folder; both must be loose, not contained inside any additional folder.
Article #11909 - Fonts: Bitmap, PostScript, and TrueType Compared
In addition the postscript font file's name must not be altered. It is linked to the bitmapped file it supports by its name. The name of a suitcase can be changed without affecting the usability of the fonts it contains.
More importantly, perhaps, is that the postscript font (any font, for that matter), must be specifically a Mac type font, in a format suitable for use with OS 9 - a font copied from OSX or a PC will usually not work.
