  • Aperture or Final Cut Pro X for Video Org

    I don't really see a reason to keep importing (linking) videos into Aperture at this point, considering the robust meta data capabilities of Final Cut Pro X.  Other than having all video and photos in one place (Aperture database), does anyone have a reason?
    Thanks for your thoughts.
    Angelo

    Thanks Shawn,
    I'm switching to organizing all videos in FPCX - the keyword and Event options (smart albums) are pretty powerful and it's much easier to skim video.  With the direct browsing of Aperture projects in FCPX I will have quick access stills for when combing both in a video.  It would be nice to only have to deal with one piece of software when cataloging files from a HDSLR, but Aperture just isn't up to the task for video.

  • Aperture and Final Cut Pro X ?

    I am going to move from FCE to FCP X.  I am looking for input on how to handle this.
    I suppose I will continue to bring the stills into Aperture.  With FCE if I needed to use a still from Aperture I did an version export from Aperture and resized the picture to 1920 x 1080.  That export file is stored on the media scratch drive and then a imported to the project (actually a pointer to the file) to be used.
    With the new FCP X I am not sure if I will need to export or can I somehow just import it  from the Aperure Libray  and if I do should I resize the still.
    Does anyone on this forum have any experience with this.  Thanks for any insight.

    Terence,
    Thank you for the reply.  I hope to get a chance to work a bit with FCP X tomorrow and will look for my Aperture pictures in the media browser. 
    " If you use the Media Browser in FCP X then you will get your Aperture previews. The size for those are set in the Aperture Preferences. "
    Are you saying that the size of the stills in FCP X would be whatever my preview in Aperture is set for ?  I know that that is what resolution I would get for a slide show done in Aperture,  so I guess having that carry over to FCP would not be too surprising.
    Most if not all of my projects in Final Cut are 1920 x 1080.  In FCE stills form a 5 MP or a 7 MP camera were fine when imported as actual size, but stills from my 21 MP camera had issues if I did not resize them first.  I guess FCE did was not the best software to resize stills.  Aperture did a much better job at resizing and the stills were fine in FCE.
    I typically have done some panning and zooming on my stills ( a small amount scaling and slow movement with motion keying ).  Kind of a Ken Burns effect. 

  • An Excellent Tutorial for Final Cut Pro X

    I am fairly new to Mac and I am learning Aperture and Final Cut Pro X.
    Just wanted to share an excellent video tutorial for Final Cut. Its free but there is an "extended edition" of sorts for a reasonable price.
    http://www.izzyvideo.com
    Cheers!

    I thought there would be some plugins for Quicktime, like Final Cut studio, which made from Quicktime---> Quicktime Pro. And under Final Cut Studio there was also some Protoolkit installed. No longer necessary?
    I just want to be 100% sure, that FCP X and Motion 5 is a completely self-contained app, that need no installation. But up to now, nobody can tell me  100% if it really is so.
    I thank you for your answers and hope that you understand my thoughts, about having a Dvd where I can install it from or where I can save the self-contained app, if it is so.

  • I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?

    Hello everyone
    I've recently messed up my Mac OS X Lion by deleting Aperture, but I need to get my data out of the computer. I've tried to repair it using DU, but it said I needed to backup all my data and reinstall the OS. How do I backup my data to an external drive?
    And by the way, I've got an important project in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any way I can back it up (including fxs and positions of the clip) ?
    Hope you guys can help me!

    You need to back up 2 folders, Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects which by default are located on your Movies Folder. You can always check by clicking on a clip inside Fianl Cut X and selecting Show in Finder in the contextual menu for the selected clip.

  • HT6114 I want to re-install Aperture and make updates to Final Cut Pro on my MAC ?

    I want to re-install Aperture and to update my Final Cut Pro software, but when I go to install or update I get an error message saying I need to install the latest version of MAC OS X 10.9.  I currently have version 10.7.5 installed but when I go to do a software update it tells me that my OS X software is up to date.

  • Best Video format for Aperture, Final Cut Pro, iPad, and iPhones

    I am moving all of my photos and video into Aperture and notice that only .MOV video form my iPhone 4 and .MP4 video from my go pro camera are displayed in Aperture browser mode. The .MPG files form my old Sony Powershot do not show up in the browser or in "Video" searches. I also have a set of very large (13GB)  .AVI video files that I cannot import into Final Cut Pro.
    My first question is:
    If I want all of my videos to be completely compatible with all of my Apple products, should I convert everthing to .MOV format, and if so; whcih converter should I use?
    My second question is:
    My ten big (13gb) sets of vacation video are still on mini DV cassettes. I have already imported them into a PC as .AVI files. What should I convert them to, in order to edit them in Final Cut Pro; or should I import them again directly into Final Cut Pro? If so, which format is best?
    Thank you for your advice,

    "Is this even possible?."
    No.
    First, you don't need any additional software.
    Second, every time video is processed it will change in some way. It will never be exactly the same as the original. It may in fact look better. However, you are not dealing with a top of the line camera. There are many compromises in it to make it affordable. These compromises in lens, chip size and quality and so on will be exacerbated as the media is processed. If the shooting conditions are not optimal, light, camera support, content, format, all of these will make reproducing the exact original more difficult and more improbable. That said AVCHD is inherently an excellent format and you should get excellent results. There is a great deal you can do in color correction and effects to improve the image and make it even more pleasing than the original, but this requires work and is not sonething achieved by clicking a button. It is also not something achieved by simply plugging in the camera and running the software. That is not how to get the best out of it. It's complex, professional software that's going to take time to learn, and video production is a complex process that takes time and effort to do really well.
    My opinion which is worth what you paid for it.

  • Final cut pro crashing with slide show photos

    I am working with a large slide show - a few movie clips, but mostly still images from Aperture.  The photos were shot wtih a Nikon D300 in Raw, not that I think that matters much at all.
    Becasue this is a slide show I am working wth short durations for the images - usually 3:14.  Most of the transitions are simply cross dissolve, but some are more complex.
    I am getting again and again crashes - or the spinning color circle going to oblivion and requiring a Force Quit. 
    Either can happen when adding new material, moving arround existing material, or trying to reset durations, add text, different transitions, or working wth the Ken Burns options.  Sometimes it also happens when resizing the time line zoom level.   This marvelous feature seems the most consistent way of trashing the application so I tend to leave it alone.
    I may be able to work for an hour or only a few minutes.  Sometimes deleting and re-adding an image seems to help, but that may not be true - most of the time it's just simply random.   The system has 14 Gig Ram and I am using iCleanMemory now to see how much is in play.  A crash / freeze may occur with a lot or a little - usually looks like I have about 8.9 Gig in play for normal use of Final Cut and no clear change when it crashes / freezes.
    Clearly the images are compatible - they are from Aperture and there is no consistency in always the same image being the issue.  
    Below is the first part of the error report dump. 
    Hoping someone has an idea for how to overcome this.
    Appreciate the thoughts.
    Cheers -

    Well, I filmed many of those videos in HDV (the 2x2 wall, the 5x5 wall and some of the 10x10 wall). Plus I converted the whole project to HDV because it is the way I displayed it (thru camera to Plasma TV's) and I wanted the HD space to work with and since part of my videos were HDV I figured that would be best.
    Of course the DV footage is not so good quality, but when made very small for that big screen it looks fine I think. Yeah the AIC codec is great but it takes 4 times as much room, but you think that would work better hey?
    I just don't want Final Cut crashing like that. I don't care if it can't play it back in real time or it takes 10 seconds to display 1 frame.
    I have not used motion....would it work for what I did. Remember I used over 100 discreet video streams I had. I don't want to replicate the same layer...you get the drift.
    Did you see it in youtubes HD? What did you think of the quality?

  • How do I export to final cut pro?

    Recent convert from Aperture to Lightroom CC.
    In aperture I would simply drag a photo to Final Cut Pro.  What is the workflow in Lightroom?  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Jim, some people (maybe not that many) are FCP X editors, so it's a good feature.
    Also, I personaly find Premiere 10 years back in terms of editing. FCP X in my opinion has more editing features to make my life easy. The last release has also been a great update.
    I have been editing in Premiere the whole year 2013, and I can't go back to the "old fashion" editing since i started editing in FCP X. but that's a matter of preference. The problem is that the other editors in my office use Premiere, so XML exchange is a must.

  • Does anyone know how to change .mov to a supported file extension (and what extension would you suggest)? .mov works on Apperture 3.0 so I thought it would work on Final Cut Pro X....

    Does anyone know how to easily change a .mov file extension to one of the accepted Final Cut Pro X extensions?  I thought since .mov worked in Aperture 3.0 it should work on FCP X.  Thanks

    Hi Tom
    Thanks
    I am now doing some 1 minute import tests from various Q/T's
    They are all in the same place on an External 1 TB Western Digital - connected by Firewire 800
    I have just imported some 1 minute tests from  other Q/T 's and they have imported Ok - quickly imported and transcoded etc fine and quickly.
    Using your suggested methd of getting the details using Quicktime 7 Movie Inspector I can see NO DIFFERENCE in the formats!  In fact with four of these files open I can click on each in turn and see the Inspector details for each in turn - and only the name, size etc changes - not the format!
    I am really upset and confused by this as I have been trying for the last four days to get these imported.  I realise that this is small potatoes to those who are having problems with even FCP 7 Files!  But, these are q/t's of 30 hours worth of unique reserahc material I shot in Africa. I have made several programmes from this material before (one even shown on Discovery!)  I WAS hoping that I could use the new and all singing FCPX to make some new programmes for teaching purposes
    But, how can I do that if only some will import?  As I posted elsehwre - i get the message "No importable files"
    I am REALLY grateful for your expertise and advice here
    thanks

  • How to access videos from iPhoto in Final Cut Pro X

    Hi,
    is it possible to access all the videos stored in iPhoto directly from Final Cut Pro X, compareable to iMovie?
    Any idea?
    Thanks for any help.
    rob

    iPhoto and Aperture videos don't show up in the Photos browser in FCP X. Apple's directions (can't recall where I saw them) state to open both programs (FCP X and iPhoto) next to each other and then drag and drop the videos from iPhoto (or Aperture) to an event in FCP X.
    Not how you'd hope it worked, but it works nontheless.

  • IPhone 3Gs audio drift in Final cut Pro (but not qt player or imovie)

    Is anyone else having audio drift issues with video from the 3gs when imported into FCP? We find that a 30 minute clip plays just fine in Quicktime player with perfectly synced audio, but when brought into final cut pro the clip has several seconds of drift over thirty minutes. This is before it's ever placed into a timeline, and the issue persists even if we transcode to prores 4:4:4 or any other codec. Issue duplicated in FCP 6 and 7.
    Also, the movies are often brought in upside-down, even though they are displayed perfectly by quicktime player.
    If, however, I bring the same clip into imovie and export it, the resulting clip has perfectly synced audio which works fine in FCP.
    Essentially, apple's free tools seem to have no problem with iphone-captured video, but Final Cut, which is the pro tool, seems to have issues. Unless I'm missing some obvious (or abstruse) configuration step which is causing the problem.
    Any insight greatly appreciated; everyone in our shop is stumped.

    Shane,
    Thanks for your response, though I don't really see the need for the condescending tone while offering no useful information. I'm aware that H.264 is not an editing format -- If you had taken the time to read my post more carefully, you would note that I have already transcoded the footage ("and the issue persists even if we transcode to prores 4:4:4 or any other codec. Issue duplicated in FCP 6 and 7"), so your suggestion "Use Compressor to convert it to DV." really doesn't help much. We've done so and the problem persists. Hence the post.
    Incidentally, I have transcoded with quicktime player, compressor, and FCP. All preserve the audio drift. Interestingly, Imovie deals with it well, kicking out a file with perfect sync. My instinct is that it's a metadata issue (i.e. FCP is misinterpreting the actual framerate of the video) but I'm looking for any similar experiences out there.
    As for "professional" vs. non pro hardware and software, I certainly don't expect the iphone to shoot footage or offer features that are comparable to those of a pro camera. I do expect it to properly encode quicktime files for use with any bug-free quicktime-based tool, of which FCP is the flagship example. Should aperture not be required to handle photos from point and click digitals because they are not "professional?"
    It's a somewhat ridiculous position to take that Apple's video tool would not support their only video-capable device. There are many consumer devices supported by FCP (you've heard of DV, yes?) and the 3Gs (and, I would assume, the coming video-capable ipod touch) are no exception.
    In short, this is clearly a bug, and I'm trying to run it to the ground in order to use the 3Gs within a production environment for a project requiring many mobile devices uploading video from wifi connections around the world. If you have any useful information to offer, I'm all ears.

  • Is the new Final Cut 'Pro' as bad as everyone say?

    Final Cut Pro X seems to be getting some bad reviews, even the App Store comments are hatefull saying it's iMovie Pro, Final Cut ex-Pro and a dumbed down version.
    Is this true? I brough my Mac to run Final Cut Pro and brought the FCP Studio up to the last version and think it's a wonderfull bit of software. But it does seem that Apple has totaly misunderstood the Pro users or totally given up on them.
    Apparently it won't open FC6 projects, you have to open up FCP 7 and convert them then open them up in FC'P' X, don't they realise NO PROFESSIONAL WANT'S TO HAVE TO DO THAT!
    The background tasks and speed improvements sound good but at the expense of ease of use and bacward compatability, I just can't see myself getting this. Which is a real shame.
    I do hope Apple realises it's mistake and brings out a propper PRO version someday, but I have the feeling they see more money on the consumer side and have given up on the pros, both music and film
    So, can anyone out there convince me that everone else it wrong and that you can do everything you could do with FCP 7 (including opening FCP 6 documents as I have tons of them) and that everone is just complaining that the UI has changed.
    I do hope so...

    I haven't had the beachball effect, in fact doing things within the application is really fast for me. I did notice that it seemed only slightly faster than iMovie when it exported. I am going to try doing different things like importing in native codec vs. transcoding to prores to see what is faster. Kind of goofy that my export options are more varied in iMovie 11, but again, FCPX has just what I need.
    I have the luxury of being personally amused by all this. Not at the irritation of the pros of course, but at the goofy pattern Apple insists on repeating (though they did get Aperture right). I am sure soon there will be a wonderful time akin to  "make-up sex", where Apple will really work at making things right, like they did with iMovie 11, though that did take quite a while. Lots of arguments, then a period of quiet sulking...then there are needed changes and all is better again. I would never go back to iMovie 06, but when 08 came out I was astounded how bad it was for prosumers, and dove back to 06.
    But I suspect the change is just too great for day to day professionals with deadline responsibilities. In five years the overwhelming weight of the prosumer market will determine video editing direction, but today, not so much.

  • Export videos with metadata to Final Cut Pro?

    I would like to use Aperture 3 for reviewing video footage from my SLR and adding notes, ratings, etc. Has anyone come up with a way to get this metadata exported from Aperture and imported into Final Cut Pro? I can export a simple tab-delimited file from Aperture, but is there a way to get that in a form where it can become a bin in Final Cut Pro. (I think Batch List import in FCP will only work for capturing stuff from tape -- my clips already exist on the hard drive.)

    Do you want to reedit them or do you just want to work with material generated in imovie. Not sure about the first, but for the second, export a quicktime movie. IMovie works with DVstreams which can cause problems in fcp.

  • Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air

    Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air (just for looking at footage and assembling a rough cut) or is the graphics processing inadequate? Also wondering the same about Photoshop CS5 and Aperture 3.1.3.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    You can install on (1) Tower and (1) Laptop, as long as they are both used by you, and NOT at the same time.  This is for when you edit on your tower, but then need to edit at home, or on the road.  You cannot use one copy of FCP on multiple machines at the same time.  You need one copy for each machine you intend to use at the same time.

Maybe you are looking for
