Can you explain when using keywords and addding them to various clips pressing ctrl and a number eg. 1 or 2 it simply closes down FCPX.  Just to the dock as would the yellow -sign.  I am new to this program having only used Final Cut Express 4 previously.

Re: Why don't my arrows on the time line operate and allow me to move to the start and end of the timeline. Iam using the trial version 

Check System Preferences. I think Control-1 is used by something in the OS now. Switch it off. It's a major p[ain the way the OS is taking over more and more of the keyboard, allowing less options for application use.

  • Can somebody tell me if this video camera works with Final Cut Express HD?

    Hi,
    I'm juggling with the idea of changing my old video camera from 1999 Sony TRV-93.
    I'm looking in to the Panasonic HDC-SD5 or Sony HDR-HC7.
    My main concern it that I will be using Final Cut Express or iMovie for the editing of my home movies.
    But neither of the companies is clear if their product will work with a Mac.
    I'll be using a MacBook Pro to run Final Cut Express HD.
    So if someone that uses one of this video cameras tell me that they work with Macs and Leopard, It will be much easier to take my decision.
    Thank you for reading and your anwsers.
    Mario

    Probably ANY camera that uses MiniDV TAPE and has a FireWire ( aka iLink) output can use iMovie and FCE .
    DVD, Hard Disk and Flash Memory cameras are generally unsuitable.
    However, iMovie 07 (aka 08) and FCE 4 can handle AVCHD cameras.
    Ian.
    SORRY ! Just realised you wanted someone who has one of those cameras. I don't think many people will because flash memory is not really suitable at present because of the incredibly high price of the SD cards. eg.probably £60 for an hour of video as compared with £2 for a tape.

  • Can you open a Final Cut Pro project file (6.0.6) in Final Cut Express (v4)

    I am working on a project in Final Cut Pro (v 6.0.6) and I need to pass it off to a colleague who only has Final Cut Express (v 4). The media in the project is DVNTSC.
    I went to the Apple store at the Stonestown Mall in San Francisco today and they assured me that my colleague would be able to open my FCP project file in his FCE program... but I'm skeptical.
    Can you really open a FCP project file in FCE?
    Could somebody who has both confirm this for me?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Under very rare circumstances can you open an FCP project in FCE. It almost never works and is not supported by Apple.

  • Using Final Cut Express and Network accounts

    I am having problems launching Final Cut Express when opening the program logged into a network account.
    It works fine when i am logged into administrator, but when i am in another account it will not launch
    Thanks
    Dave

    My general experience is that FCE either doesn't start or doesn't run properly unless you are logged in under an administrator account.
    Tom Wolsky advised one time that after installation FCE had to be run once from an administrator account and afterward it would run from regular accounts. That hasn't worked in my experience.
    As far as network accounts are concerned, are you using an xServe or a Mac with OSX Server installed, and workgroup manager? FCE will need to be installed on the local machine, not the server, and the network accounts won't necessarily work with FCE.

  • Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?

    Can you edit a person out of one photo and add them to another photo?  Like if you need the head shot from one photo to replace closed eyes in the other photo?  Thanks.

    Thank you very much!  Does this require software to be purchased?  I'm new to Photoshop.

    Subject: Re: Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?
    Welcome to the forum.
    Yes, this is done often. You will need to create a Mask of that person, to separate them from the background of the original Image.
    I like to do this with a Layer Mask, as it offers control, and really does not alter the Image, so you can go back and make changes.
    Let's say that you have Image 01 w/ the head of your subject, and want to place it into Image 02. In Image 01, make a rough Selection. I would include a bit of extra background, as we will take care of that in a moment. With that Selection active, Copy the head shot. Go to Image 02, and Paste it. It will Paste in its own Layer. Ctrl+T (Free Transform) can be used to Scale and also position that Layer with the head. Once you have that Scaled and positioned about where you want it, create a Layer Mask. In QuickMask Mode, just paint in the additional Mask to remove all traces of the background that came in with the head shot. As you can paint OUT, and also paint IN the Mask, you can work on this, as many times as you wish - even next year.
    For getting that Layer Mask looking good, work slowly, also see this http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_5agirl.htm.
    I've got another tutorial, that addresses the hair area, and will post that, when I find my bookmark.
    Good luck,

    I have Prem. Elements 12.  I am trying to add audio media.  I know where the audio files are located (using GET INFO while in iTunes), and when I try to add certain audio files, some are accepted and some are not.  In one case, when I opened a particular folder, the song was not listed, even tho' the song is there when using Windows Explorer.  This happens with mp3 and mp4 and just wav files.  Some audio are accepted, most are not.  I get that codec is not installed error message, too.

  • Can I use my photos and add them or substitute them for wallpaper.

    Can I use my photos and add them or substitute them for wallpaper on the Ipod Touch?  If so, what procedure is suggested to add the photos and use them.
    Thank you for your help.

    Here are the instructions form the Users Guide:
    Adding Wallpaper
    You can set an image or photo as wallpaper for the Lock screen. You can also set
    wallpaper for your Home screen. You can choose an image that came with iPod touch,
    or a photo synced to iPod touch from your computer.
    Set wallpaper (iPod touch 3rd generation or later):
    1 In Settings, choose Wallpaper, tap the image of the Lock and Home screens, then tap
    Wallpaper or an album.
    2 Tap to choose an image or photo. If you choose a photo, drag to position it and pinch
    to zoom in or out, until it looks the way you want.
    3 Tap Set, then choose whether you want to use the photo as wallpaper for your Lock
    Screen, Home screen, or both.
    SInce you said you have iOS 4.3.2, you must and a 3 or 4G ipod.

  • IOS6 loaded and now none of my bookmarks are showing in Safari and when I try to add them again it won't let me.  Am using iPad2

    Have downloaded iOS6 and it has been ok until today.  When I went to Safari this morning none of my bookmarks are showing and when I try to add them again it won't saved them.  Am using iPad2.  Anyone got any ideas please?

    Ok I read some of the other posts and restarted the iPad which seems to have solved the issue temporarily.  Is there likely to be a fix for this in the near future?

  • I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages?  How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this?  Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

    You can make the collages easily if you have iWork.  Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary.  Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto.  From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround. 
    If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

  • HT201593 The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why?

    The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why? I guess the question speaks for itself. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch.

    If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.

  • Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    I want to delete photos from camera roll on my iPhone to clear space to install ios7 but after importing photos to iPhoto on my macbook pro only 4 out of 339 photos taken in September landed in events, though all 339 are in Sept photo stream. It seems like on previous uploads all photos "fell" into events according to the day they were taken, as well as into photostream. I want to make sure these photos stick around permanently and do not exist only in photo stream where I imagine they will eventually be bumped from my computer (photostream). Can anyone explain why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

    You have uploaded two different things - pHotos are in one and only one event - if you have the same photo in two different events then you have imported it twice
    Please explain what you want - your initial question and yoru current comments are 180 degrees apart
    You say they are not all in events
    Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?
    Now you say they are
    All 15 pics appear in  Sept 2013 PS
    It sound to me like you have no problem except you imported some photos twice adn you may not understand how the automatic import form PS works - but that is not clear
    you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    The event they are imported into is MMMM YYYY PS
    If you import via iTunes sync or by connecting your IOS device via USB then they are importeed into the regular event structrue as defined in your iphoto preferences - and if you imoport via two or more different methods you will ahe duplicates

    You can start watching it whilst it's still downloading - but if you have a slow internet connection then you may want to wait for it to finish downloading first, otherwise you may catch up with it and have to wait for more of it to download
