Can't get hvr-m15u to respond to final cut pro 5.04

hey guys its been awhile... hope everyone is well...
i just got the g5 back on and i need to get a video project done tonight, so i am asking for some help... i have read the other posts and i have reset to default on the menu on the deck... and still nothing... all its saying is try to reconnect the deck... i was thinking that it might be my fire wire but that is kind of a long shot... i knew i should have taken my camera home and not a deck that was still in the box... any way i hope you can help thanks for the time

p.s. the 23" cinima is still broken going on 2 years now turns off and on when it wants...

Have you tried different cables ro a different firewire port on the computer? Cables and jacks can go bad quite often, or be subject to corrosion or bent internal connections. Is the deck's input select set to HDV/DV?

  • How can i get a tv show clip into final cut pro x?

    say i download a tvshow clip from itunes, can i get that episode in FCP X?

    Since you own the copyright, then you (or whoever works for you) must have a copy of the original master. Just use that. It's going to be much better quality than the compressed version you uploaded to iTunes.

  • Where can I get replacement media or download for final cut 3?

    where can I get replacement media or download for final cut 3?

    There is no download for any install of Final Cut Pro before version X.
    For physical media, try contacting Apple Care support. Otherwise, ebay or alternative resellers is your only recourse for acquiring install discs.

    edit: If you want Final Cut Pro 3, you'll need a PowerPC computer that can run OS9. If you mean Final Cut Studio 3 (aka FCS 2009) you'll have better luck finding something out there that will run on contemporary machinery.

  • 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.

  • How do I get copyright or license to show Final Cut Pro in use by a character in a film?

    Hi,
    I am working in a Film Production team in Brazil.  We are producing a film where the main character is a film editor and he uses Apple Final Cut Pro at his work.
    The film is for all ages - no restriction.
    I have already written to "Copyright Permissions"  but had no answer since June! 
    Do I need a copyright license for that?
    And if I do, how do I get it from Apple?
    Thank you in advance.

    I am not a lawyer, but I don't see how you are infringing on Apple.   Remember, most e-mails are not read or replied to.  Your best course of action would be to send a priority letter to Apple's street address.   They still may not reply, but it will be read.
    A test that usually (but not always) works.  Is your activity costing the other party money.  Is your activity resulting in the other party losing sales.
    If your movie is showing some guy at a desk using a companies software; it's beyond my comprehension why they would have a problem.  In fact, many companies pay for “product placement”.  However, I understand that Apple does not engage in this practice.
    But I can assure you, every time you see someone with a Coke (and other products) in a movie the producers were probably paid.

  • TS1233 How do I get chapter markers for iDVD from Final Cut Pro X?

    It seems like a tremendous short-coming that Final Cut Pro X doesn't allow for chapter markers that can be used in iDVD or DVD Pro. Surely there is some way to get used-defined markers from Final Cut Pro X or at least re-define the Final Cut Pro X markers in the DVD authoring applications. Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have decided to say that my problem is solved by the work-a-rounds that have been submitted. I STILL don't like the fact tha Apple has decided that DVD's are a thing of the past and therefore (chapter) markers are of no use. That may be true is the publishing world of YouTube, Vimeo, etc. but it certainly NOT true for many of us advanced hobbyists that still like distribution on DVD's to our friends or a more localized (private) community -- especially to those who are not computer literate. If Apple wants to exclude us from their customer base, I suggest that base will become even smaller than their competitors who still have chapter markers in their products. I'll get off my soapbox now. . .

  • HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

    When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

    Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
    If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
    If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
    Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
    If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
    Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can I find or make a Animation on Final Cut Pro?

    Whats up guys,
    I want to find or make a graphics animation to put into a birthday video i'm editing for my 1 year old nephew.The software I'm using is Final Cut Pro on a Mac.
    The animation could be something like toys moving around in a room or playground or anything else that playfull...or even fantasy like a bird delivering a baby to its parents. Is there a way I could either find or create animations on Final cut Pro? Or would I have to use another program? Please help.

    FCP is an editing application, not meant for creating animations.
    As David pointed out, After Effects (a bit much for a home user making a birthday video) can animate something, but isn't good at creating animation files.
    Creating animations like presents and birds means looking into applications like MAYA, which they use for South Park. But again, a bit much for a birthday video. Not something you can pick up in a day.
    www.digitaljuice.com has packages of pre-made animations. You can check them out.

  • Where can I find this Sony Vegas effect in Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi all,
    I have posted a video link below.  If you watch between :26 and :45 (and throughout the video) you will see a sort of "flashing" effect that happens as a transition between screens.  I have tried splitting screens and adding gaps but that doesn't seem to work unless I'm doing it wrong.  Does this effect look familiar to anyone and can you tell me how to do it in Final Cut Pro X?  
    Here's the video: http://youtu.be/CXsiP1pfIHI
    Thank you so much! 

    I don't use FCP-X but those transitions look like  a specialized kind of dissolve called a non-additive mix.
    http://www.digitaledition.tv/term/non-additive-mix/
    It is a dissolve where the luminance levels effect the transition, so that (very roughly described) darker parts of the incoming scene not as visible as the lighter parts which are thereby given prominence during the transition.
    There is a discussion of the effect in FCP-X in the following link:
