Audio Problems with Final Cut Express

I exported a video to wmv format and when I play it back I have a problem with the audio at the end. At the end the sound seems to go into a loop and the the last words are repeated 3 times with a static sound. It plays fine on my MAC the problem only happens on a PC. The audio file was imported as a wma.

FCE does not export WMV without third party support. You should contact whoever produced the WMV export module.

Chroma Key problems with Final Cut Express 4

I had no problems with the Chroma Key in Final Cut Express 4 before. It was working perfectly fine untill I brought anther Macbook Pro last year in August. I installed it on the new computer and then the Chroma Key didn't work. Final Cut opens up and the other filters work fine but I can't get the chroma key to work. Any possible reasons?

I am experiencing an interseting problem with Final Cut Express on OSX Lion. I teach in a Mac Lab at my school. Today I was trying to teach Chroma Keying- which I have been doing for years - but for some reason the color selector would just not key out anything. I tried it on four or five different machines, and it turns out that ONLY my machines that were running OSX Leopard would allow the Chroma Key to function. I have two machines running Lion and the Chroma Key would not work on EITHER of them. I followed the exact same steps, and all of the settings were identical. The hardware was also the exact same package from machine to machine. I feel like there must be an issue with OSX Lion that is breaking the Chroma Key filter. Can anyone help?

Audio problems in Final Cut Express

I have edited 4 sequences successfully within a project. Everything was working fine audio and video. All material is saved to my external scratch disk. I left the project to take a break (saving it first of course). When I came back the audio is not working. I have not changed any settings and have tried to obvious like checking the volume on the computer. I know the audio is still there because the levels are moving and correct. I just can't hear it. This is the second or third time this is happened?
At one point I needed to capture some material and following capture it seemed to work again. Then I lost it again. I thought I would try capturing more material to see if I would have the same luck but not this time.
I am fairly new to editing and to Final Cut Express. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Audio problem with Final Cut Pro x. (New to x)

Hello,
I recently switched over to Final Cut Pro x and am just now starting to get adjusted. I just ran into this problem and I'm having trouble solving on my own. Here you go...
I just imported a bunch of video into my "event" and went through and logged everything. Everything sounds fine until I drag my clips onto the timeline. Once I drag them down the audio gets lower and sounds very muffled. Does anyone know what would be the cause of this?
Thanks!
Clayton

What are the exact specs of the original media? Open in the QT player and report what it says in the movie inspector.

Problems with Final cut express

Hello.
I have some issues with FCE. I have this program in both mac mini and powerbook computers.
I am making some kind of scary movie and Bad TV effect is missing on the mac mini, but it is visible on powerbook. I have no idea what's happening and I am wondering, is there any way to copy filters from powerbook to mac mini ? Or maybe I can download this effect somewhere ?
I hope I will get an answer 'cause I am working on a stunning project.
Thanks.

It doesn't work on the mini and doesn't appear because the FxPlugins required a separate graphics card. The Mac mini uses integrated graphics shared with main memory.

The airport card on my macbook pro is not functioning. In the airport firmware folder it says that it opens with final cut express. Is this the problem and how do i solve it?

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
    Play sound effects through:
   Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

Issues Capturing with Final Cut Express

Hi
I am currently having issues capturing with Final Cut Express. I am using a Firewire 800 gold speed cable 9pin/4pin with my Sony LSF-S58 camera. I use mini DV tapes and usually capture on other computers with no problems. However this time I am using Final Cut Express version 4.0.1 along with a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter so it'll connect with my MAC Book Pro (Operating system OS X 10.6.8). The issue is when I open Final Cut's capture option there is a message at the bottom that says "No Communicatin" I have tried various settings within easy set-up and nothing seems to work as well as browsing this help board along with others looking for the answer. Any help anyone can provide would be great. Thanks.

When I Google LSF-S58, I get a Sony Lens Hood, not a camera. Are you recording in HD or SD?
Have you used the Thunderbolt to Firewire convertor successfully on your computer with other devices?
Have you used the Thunderbolt port successfully with other Thunderbolt devices?
I don't know if this is applicable to your computer, but there is a Thunderbolt software update for 10.6.8 here:

Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

Hi
Yes and no.
You can't get an editable material over from one to the other.
eg a misspelled word in iMovie project can't be corrected in FCE/P any version.
I use iMovie combined with FCE/P in just one case when there are to many drop outs
on the raw material eg recorded in LP-mode (90min on a 60min tape)
Then iMovie can import in a more forgiving way.
BUT
When this material is moved over to FCE/P the audio parts needs to be rendered
not just one time but whenever any change is done. A very nearv-wrecking and tedious
procedure.
Summary. Joint project should use same platform. In my cases me and friend has
each one full version of FCE4 and an external hard disk that contain the movie
project.
This we exchange with each other to do each the parts that we are on best to do.
Yours Bengt W

Does anyone of you use a HD-camcorder like Canon Legria HF G10 and cut films with Final Cut Express.

Does anyone of you use a HD-camcorder like Canon Legria HF G10 and cut films with Final Cut Express 4.0.1. I did not buy this product yet but ask before. Now I have 4GB RAM and i5 MacBooK Pro. Do any problems exist using FCE having made films with this camera?
I save the films als QuickTime films (mov) and create DVDs with iDVD.
Will the data be too many if I make films with such a camera (HD) so that 1 hour of film cannot be burned to one DVD (or if is not necessary to film with such a good quality because in iDVD the film looses its quality?).

I was able to find this info regarding the camera:
AVCHD 1080/50i. 1080/25P (Maximum AVCHD 24Mbps)
Recording Modes
MXP 24Mbps / FXP 17Mbps / XP+ 12Mbps / SP 7Mbps / LP 5Mbps
The 1080/50i (interlaced) modes will work with FCE. PAL in this case. 60i is NTSC.

Capture devices that work with Final Cut Express

Would any one out there be able to recomend a reasonably priced video capture device that works with FCE other than a video camera? I want to input video and audio from VHS and DVD. I also want to input Audio from cassette and CD.
imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I am in a similar situation. All I can say is that the ADS Pyro AV Link works well with iMovie but not with Final Cut Express or Pro so I returned it.
I am waiting for a DataVideo DAC 100, Their web site gives specific instructions as how to use the DAC with FCP so I am hopefull that it will work with FCE.

The Canopus ADVC 110 has also been recommended on this forum.

How do I import an AVI file for use with FInal Cut Express

How do I import or use an AVI file with Final Cut Express?
Thank you. Do I need to convert my AVI file and what is the
easiest way to do that? Thank you.

You should convert the media to QuickTime. Without knowing any specifics most likely the simplest way is to use MPEG Streamclip.

How to insert a logo with final cut express 4? like this
http://www.milano.nl/sbs6_2005.jpg

I'm not certain, but I think, if there's not a background color saved as part of the original file, you'll retain the transparency. Give it a try.
What application are you using to create the original file?

Language Choice with Final Cut Express ...

Hello,
Like many things Mac-wise (Leopard etc), does Final Cut Express give a language option during the instal?
I am in France and would like to have the programme running in English - but those at the Apple store are unsure. I bought Leopard from them and they didn't know whether it was available in English. It turned out that there is a language option ... is that the case with Final Cut Express?
Thanks for your time and help ...

You have the choice of English, French, German and Japanese.
I can't remember whether you get the option to choose the language during installation, but you definitely do afterwards.
You control click the FCE icon and select "Get Info".
Then open the Language menu.

Does anyone have experience with using a Canon Vixia HF M52 Camcorder with Final Cut Express?

I'm looking to purchase a new camcorder that is compatible with my Mac OS X (10.6.8) that will work well with Final Cut Express 4.0.1 I have downloaded the camcorder support info from Final Cut Express that list many capital camcorders. I've used Sony tape based camcorders in the past. I'm looking for High Definition. I can stick with a tape based camcorder, but thought I would look at the Canon Vixia HF M52 as an alternative, which is listed as compatible. I would like to download directly from the camera to FCE. I film in the wilderness, like having an optical zoom of 20 or greater (yes, I use a small tripod). Does anyone have experience with the Canon Vixia? And if not, but you really like another camcorder that you can recommend, what is it?

The Vixia HF M52 is an AVCHD camcorder and should work perfectly fine with Final Cut Express 4 (4.0.1).
The published "camcorder support list" has never been up to date and I would not take it to be a definitive list of compatible camcorders.
One note, however, the Vixia HF M52 supports a number of different shooting modes. I suggest sticking with the AVCHD 1920 x 1080i / 60 fps mode for use with FCE. FCE does not support progressive modes except in 720p25/30 (which the M52 does not seem to shoot anyway); nor does FCE support any 24 fps modes.

Picture in Picture with final cut express

I am really frustrated. How do a create a PiP (Picture in a Picture) with Final Cut Express This is so simple to do in adobe premier elements. You simple place one object over the other in the time line and drag with the cursor to resize. I searched in the manual, but I could not find any answers. I am relatively new user o FCE, so excuse me if I am asking a silly question!!!

That's the correct way David.
I originally thought you meant you were putting your cursor physically over the clip in the timeline and trying to drag it there, instead of in the Canvas !
Piero has made a free PIP filter that you might like to experiment with :-
