Can I capture and record live feed on "Final Cut Pro X"?

I am an intern at my church and we are wanting to finish upgrading everything to mac at the church but we are needing a program that can capture live feed and later edit it so that I can create TV programs; hence, why I am needing to know can Final Cut Pro X capture live feed and record it? Along with that I need to know can I import avi. video files into Final Cut Pro X and it still allow me to edit them for our TV program? Thank you ahead of time for all of your help. Right now we are capturing in SD and I need to make sure it will also not be a problem capturing in SD and will make a smooth transition when we go to HD.

See here:
Re: import live video hvr v1e
The above discusses HDV over firewire which is high def, DV will be the same deal.
So it depends on what type of camera you are going to use.
If you jump to an AVCHD USB cam the game changes.
So far I'm not aware of a direct import method.
There are workarounds with additional equipment at present.

How can i capture and record a youtube video that is playing on my screen using quicktime?

Hi Paul, QuickTime X can record video and here is the tutorial for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5882?viewlocale=en_US. I'm wondering why you don't just download it using some free YouTube downloader, easy and fast.

The GPU in a iMac is NOT upgradeable.
You should check to see if your model of iMac meets the minimum specs to run FCPX.
I believe that your GPU is NOT OpenCL capable, and hence not supported.
Even if it works, you would probably get marginal performance.
What you can do is download the trial version and see how (and if) it works.

Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

Hi,
I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.

Where can I find a good, free effect for Final Cut Pro of electrocution?

Where can I find a good, free effect for Final Cut Pro of electrocution? I'm using it for a taser sequence.
Thanks!

Open Motion, look for lightningin the generators. From there, it's a question of figuring out how it works and what you need to do to make it work for your sequence. That's about as free as it gets and it will ony be as good--even if someone else did the work for you--as the amount of time you're willing to invest.

I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects

I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects. When I select import and then either files or folders, I am able to navigate to the drive where the media is being stored, but then when I scroll to locate the files or folders the drive disappears. This problem began as an intermittent problem, but now I cannot import any files or folders. This problem started when I upgraded my operating system to Yosemite version 10.10.2 on my mid-2010 Mac Pro running with 16 GB of memory and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. Can anyone help me figure out and solve this serious problem? Thanks!

Then just drag the files/folders from your hard drive into FCP. Don't use the IMPORT option...just drag and drop.
The problem started when you installed an OS that doesn't support FCP 7. So if you want things to work smoothly, it's best to go back to an OS that did support FCP 7. Yosemite was written without taking FCP 7 functionality in mind, so it isn't fully functional. It might not do one thing for someone...but works for you in that respect. But then you can't do something else. The ways it doesn't work is always random. Or it might work great for some people, because they don't use functions that might no longer work....so they don't notice it.

The Apple Mac Store is re-downloading and reinstalling the update called "Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content" literally everyday.

My problem: The Apple Mac Store is re-downloading and reinstalling the update called "Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content" literally everyday. I have a Mac Pro with Mavericks and Final Cut Pro X 10.1 installed. It seems to complete the update to the best of my knowledge. It shows it to be Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content 1.0. Is there a later version (a 2.0?)? It seems it started when Mavericks updated. Anyone else have this issue or know a solution to get it to update once and for all?

hahah yeah i quit torrenting i have nothing but legit apps now.
hope apple heard that!!!!
your post fixed my issue
but it did take more than deleting torrented apps, once your run a program with a MASReciept with someone elses Apple ID. that other ID is saved in all apps you got off of app store.
You have to delete all apps that contain the MASReciept (the terminal command tells you which ones) then quit appstore then reboot download all apps again.
it taught me to just buy my apps..

Hi John,
No reason that should happen!???
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, or are running 10.7+, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there.

Can not turn on the AV Output with Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 and IOS 10,2,9, Who can help me

Non riesco a attivare A/V Output con Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 e Mavericch 10.9.2

First, Mavericks is an OS X version, not an iOS version. iOS is for mobile devices, OS X is for Macs.
Second, what is the specific input/output device your Mac is using for A/V Output to access?
Have you gone into the Preferences, into the Playback section, and in the "A/V Ouput" menu, what device A/V Output is suppoed to use? Then, go to the Window menu and turn on A/V Output.
If none of that works, you have a compatability issue. Verify with the manufacturer you have the latest drivers, and that it is compatible with OS X Mavericks 10.2.9 and FCPX 10.1.1.

Why does my 4:3 miniDV video keep getting captured as 16:9? (Vidi/Final Cut Pro question)

This is partially related to Final Cut Studio, although not necessarily. I've been trying to back up dozens of my miniDV tapes on to my harddrive for several months now, racing against the clock as their video quality starts to degrade. Since Final Cut Pro started giving me problems with the timecode breaks, I started using a capture program called Vidi instead (v0.4.7) Everything was capturing well, considering, until just last week where several of my tapes, which were shot in 4:3, would capture as 16:9. That is, the video files were clearly stretched to a 16:9 aspect ratio and appeared distorted. Today I tried to go back to Final Cut (v6.0.6) to capture it the old way, and, lo and behold, the video was once again being stretched to 16:9.
A few things:
- I'm about as sure as I can be that these tapes were shot in 4:3. I've watched them several times on my TV and they are played back in 4:3, with the black bars on the left and right.
- I had actually captured video previously from one of these tapes a few years back and it recorded as a 4:3 video file, just as it should.
- I definitely have "4:3" checked off in Vidi when I capture the video. What's even more infuriating, is that BOTH Vidi and Final Cut show the video playing in its 4:3 aspect ration during apture. It's only when I check the captured file that it's been stretched to 16:9
- A tape I shot in 2008 captured perfectly with Vidi today - in it's 4:3 format. That seems to imply that it's not a software setting issue.
I'm starting to lose my mind with this, especially since I haven't found a single reference to this problem anywhere else. All I want is to get the raw DV data off of these tapes to work with at a future date, and I'd like it to be exactly as it was originally shot, not distorted. Maybe some bit of code on these tapes got messed up over time, resulting in capture software to think it was shot in 16:9? These tapes aren't anywhere near my oldest ones - they're from 2010 and 2011. Is there something obvious I'm missing when I capture these videos? If there's no other solution, is it possible to squeeze them back to 4:3? It might not look as good as if were captured in it's native format, but I'm out of ideas.

Not sure if it makes any difference for archiving purposes, but dv files (dv streams) are not generally recommended for use in fcp. .mov with the dv codec is how fcp captures SD video via firewire. Someone a few months ago claimed that .dv was fine with fcp, but I seem to remember that audio will always need to be rendered and since I always use fcp for capture of DV material, it's not an issue for me.
You can use compressor to both convert to .mov with the dv codec and reset the anamorphic flag. Not sure if there will be any loss of quality, so it might be worth testing this. Perhaps someone with more knowledge will speak up regarding this or alternative methods of converting .dv to .mov
What problems are you having capturing from within fcp? Shouldn't be a problem. I find that setting the easy setup correctly is crucial for successful capturing. Even if all the individual elements that seem to compose the easy set up are correct, there can still be problems. Perhaps you might want to start a new thread regarding your capture problems and we can see if we can solve the problem.

Capturing footage form HDR FX7 to Final Cut Pro 5.1

Hi Guys,
I think my posts are borring as I didn't get almost any replies. But I still need to figure out what to do with my new Sony HDR FX7 and how I can get the footage out to FCP 5.1
I've posted the details of what I've done in another thread here it is:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4655824#4655824
I just retured from the apple store and I was told to meet with one of the final cut pro gurus during my one to one lessons. But the earliest I can do that would be a week from now. I was also told that because it's Sony, there is known problem with capturing HDV into FCP. However, there's seems to be some sort of "patch" or program that you can download (probably a patch for FCP that enables you to capture from Sony HDR FX7.
Do any of you know that the apple store guys are talking about?
Where can I get this patch? What should I do?
I've tried the HDR FX7 on FCP 6 and the result is the same, it captures only first 2 seconds of the full hdv. Please help. Your responce is highly, highly appreciated.
Thank you,

Please do not double post. It confuses the natives and clutters the issue.
If you have something to add to an existing thread, just add it to the thread, don't start yet another one.
cheers,

Hauppauge HD PVR (recorded on PC) to Final Cut Pro X (edited on Mac)?

I just purchased my Hauppague HD PVR and I am given only three options for recording (btw I record from my Xbox 360). The first option is TS. The second option is M2TS. And the third option is MP4 (this option only records in 720x480 instead of 1280x720 so I do not get the entire screen and thus is IMPOSSIBLE to record with).
So I take these files from my PC (in my living room next to my TV) into my bedroom (onto my iMac) to edit in Final Cut Pro X. The problem is that Final Cut Pro X does not read TS or M2TS files (I also tried Compressor 4). So my question is, is there any way (short of re-encoding) to get Final Cut Pro X to read the files? I am dealing with files that are upwards of 1hr+ and to re-encode them into MOV or something similar it takes 5x as long as the video itself, then I have to render the final product again (total time from recording to finish product could be 12hrs). For me this is just too much time, can anyone help?

I second the recommendation to use MPEG Streamclip. It is free and very flexible.
It will let you export parts of the video separately, if you want - by setting in and out points, nondestructively. This will make it easier for you to handle things, as:
1) You don't have to do a long export all at once (and wait several hours)
2) You can handle smaller clips inside FCP X, which will likely be less memory intensive and result in better performance.
