Can I use a blue screen with Final Cut Pro X?

Hi, I am at a school that uses Macbooks and has just purchased a blue screen (with lighting). I am new at chromakey / blue screening. I know that you can use iMovie for green screens, but could somebody please tell me what is a good software to use for a blue screen? Does Final Cut Pro X work with blue screens?
If anyone has any advice I would be very grateful!!
Thanks,
From Michelle.

The keyer effect in FCPX works very well with blue screen. Open effects browser and look for Keyer. When you add it to your blue screen clip it will automatically pick up the blue screen and key it out. You also have several controls to fine tune the edges etc.

Can't speak about avid, since I am not familiar with the software.
You can certainly use FCP X on that machine. It should work better if you use a fast external drive for your media and projects.
There is a free trial, so try it out and see how it goes. You should also follow some good video tutorials, if you are not familiar with the application. FCP X is a lot different from Avid, Premiere or even Final Cut Pro 7.

I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine. The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart. I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky. I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe. My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.

Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X

Does anyone have any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X for Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 shooting in 1080 P 60 ( mts file extension)

Don't use these generic offbrand converters to get footage into FCP X. they re-encode your video and cause loss of quality. If FCP X cannot import your video then use a utility that simply re-wraps it into a quicktime file with no transcoding or loss. I prefer Clipwrap which works great and is updated frequently but there are free alternatives like Media Converter or Rewrap.
But version 10.04 of FCP X should import it directly from camera as long as the folder structure is complete and you are not trying to merely import it from single mts files.

Creating 1080p Blu-Ray with Final Cut Pro 10.0.7?

The latest version of Final Cut Pro (Vers 10.0.7) seems to share to Blu-Ray disk only at 720p resolution (1280X720) - not 1080P (1920X1200). I know you can always use Compressor to create a 1080p Blu-Ray, but is there any way to create a 1080p Blu-Ray disk directly with Final Cut Pro? It seems to me I was able to do this with earlier versions of Final Cut Pro X.

If you do a 1080 project @24fps or 29.97fps, FCPX will output 1080 frame size using the Blu-Ray settings. If you use Share >BD for either 720 or 1080 @ 60fps, it will choose the 720 resolution.
I have no idea whether this was always the case.

Using cassette tape audio with Final Cut Pro & DV footage

I am trying to use the audio from a cassette tape as part of a concert soundtrack. There were lots of sound problems during the concert, and afterward one of the sound guys gave me the audio cassettes he recorded of a church Christmas concert. I digitized the audio cassette using ProTools 7 at 48kHz and it sounds great. Problem is kind of what I anticipated - even if I synch a single note to absolute accuracy, the audio "drifts" out of synch where at the end of a 5 minute clip, the "end" is off by 47 frames. Even if I try and synch up shorter sections, there is still some drift.
I have a soundtrack from my DSR-250; it was not possible to get a feed from the soundboard. I tried adjusting the speed/duration of the audio cassette track - everything lines up better; the sound is still off.
Any hints, recommendations, advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The reason behind not being able to sync the audio from the cassette with the video (thanks for the accurate answer, javabob!) is that audio cassette recorders are not speed controlled during recording or playback like video or DAT tape is. No tape will playback at the exact same speed twice do to many factors, including relative humidity, tape stretch, machine wear, etc. Which is why standard audio cassettes aren't generally used for this type of thing.

Unfortnately you cannot. Thunderbolt is an onboard chip that will require an updated Mac Pro. It is not a graphics card upgrade, but a full logicboard upgrade.
Apple has not updated the Mac Pro in 580 days - as of this post. Hopefully one is right around the corner...but I've been hoping for that for over a year.

Can I use Final Cut Express 4 with Final Cut Pro 10

Can I use Final Cut Express 4 with Final Cut Pro 10 on the same computer?
Thank you,

Yes, you can install both of them, but you can only have one open at a time.
You can check this for yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial from

LATINOS ARE SCREWED with final cut pro x. Everytime I use tildes like á for example. FCPX freezes and restarts.... really is a bummer. And on a side note, Color Curves? 3 Wheel Color Wheels? XML support? Can´t wait for multicam. God Bless!

With final cut pro x. Every time I use tildes like á for example. FCPX freezes and restarts.... really is a bummer. PLZ FIX. Here in Colombia I can not use FCPX for projects which involve names or text. (ALL PROJECTS)
And on a side note, Color Curves? 3 Wheel Color Wheels (color board is great, but i didnt read a 400 page book on 3 wheel color correction for nothing) ? XML support? Can´t wait for multicam. God Bless!
FCPX IS GREAT. It really is. Just a few features are required.....

I think the idea that an acute accent can also be called a "tilde" is total nonsense.

Can you burn multible movies on one bluray dvd disc with final cut pro

how to burn two completed quick time movies to blu ray dvd with final cut pro? Ive tried but wont play

Mark,
Welcome to the wild and wacky world of DVD's and Mpeg2!
Here are a few things that might help.
it seems to want everything as a QT. This presents size limitations.
Not really, iDVD simply takes the QT files that you feed it and uses its own compressor to encode them to mpeg2 files. As long as your source material is not over 2 hours iDVD can handle it.
I'm planning to export from fcp using Compressor in the hope of fitting everything onto one disc
You can do this, but you might find it simpler to simply export a QT reference movie from FCP and drag that into DVDSP. DVDSP will then use compressor to create the mpeg2 files that you need. I say this because some find compressor a little intimidating at first. (I know that I still do.)
Now, go find the manuals that came with your software and start reading, DVDSP is a powerful program and the manuals are the best place to start.
Good luck!

Where can I download Christmas generators / title cards compatible with Final Cut Pro X?

I'm looking for title cards with holiday themes, snow, Christams trees, ornaments and the like. Where can I find these? A quick search online I found site that said they weren't compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
I went to rippletraining.com and after downloading got this error message...and yet I am unable to find any applications in the App store that meet my needs.

Okay, this seems out of my league! …
you haven't tried!
you managed to handle FCPX, a highly professional edit-tool.
What I suggested, is just 'basics':
compose a few elements.
Get inspired by other videos you notice around.
To animate 'elements', use keyframes.
To apply 'overlays', green-screen/color-key is a basic procedure…
To prep stills, a designated pic-processor is of fundamental need… although, even MacOS built-in Preview.app allows creation of 'knock-outs'/transparency… in case, you're shy to invest a few $$ for Pixelmator.
It looks maybe complicated - it isn't!
Don't try it first time for some serious projcect… but creating your very own Xmas-scenery is a lot of fun… plus, you learn a lot about FCPX and its many hidden gems…
Final word:
Catch some nice, own pics with your cam! … snowy trees, 4 candles and some cookies, a frozen window, illuminations in the streets, that crazy neighbour with his 50.000Watts of garden decorations .... Just add a charming title - done. Simplicity rules! …
Merry Chistmas!

There is this offer of a trial version FC Pro X with 30 day runtime:
http://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/trial/
Too bad you didn't have a complete backup that could run the previous OS X
and then you could resume using an earlier Final Cut Pro (10) or (7) since a
clone would have been a means toward that position.
http://www.apple.com/support/finalcutpro/
http://www.apple.com/support/pro-apps/
This appears to be another good reason to check out all the reasons why one
would want or need to upgrade a working OS X version, since these kinds of
events are known to happen as a direct result.
Sorry to not have an answer to this, other than try & use the Trial version...
Or see if someone at Apple sales/support can field your issue w/ an answer.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can you import video from dvcam using a dsr 2000 into final cut pro 10?

Can you bring video from a DVCam tape using a DSR 2000 into Final Cut Pro?

Should work OK with the iLink (a.k.a. Firewire a.k.a. IEE1394a) interface, but you may have to capture using iMovie, then ( in FCX) running File > Import > iMovie Events.)
