Can you write about Final Cut Pro?

Hello All,
I was reading this and I thought that some of you here may find this of interest. A U.S. based filmmaking magazine is looking for a writer who knows a lot about the editing workflow on a Mac. Here is what I read:
"I am looking for someone to write an article each issue about digital facets of Super-8 filmmaking. For example, how to dump your files on to a PC or Mac. How to edit and add special effects, different programs to use to edit etc. etc. In other words, a series of "how to" articles strictly on the digital end of things. The idea of adding a little "digital" knowledge is to broaden the possible base of readers. Also I am in need of someone to write a review (4x a year) of a current music video that incorporates some Super-8 in it. Pay is $75 for each article, and the article need only be one complete page."

Oh, I know there is a LARGE community of Super 8 shooters and film makers. They are manufacturing NEW Super 8 cameras that have sync motors so you can record audio separately and have it sync up. And all the film stock is the newer kodak stock that you can get cut and put into Super8mm cartridges. I have a super 8MM camera and would LOVE to shoot that format...especially reversal stocks. I love the look. But then we are in a film process and telecine and synching daillies and getting into the expensive realm again. Besides, I can shoot HD and make the image look close to the same with my swiss army knife of plugins and knowhow.
Still...I like the format.

One snag I can see is that a page or so would not be sufficient to explain how to use FCE.
It would be plenty for giving an overview of the main features, but why not simply copy the info from the Apple adverts ?

Can you upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with upgrade?

Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with $699 upgrade?
I purchased Final Cut Pro 2 years back and then purchased the Final Cut Pro 3 upgrade. I have not used it in years, but now I want to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. Is this possible by just purchasing the upgrade?

Apple's web page has the requirements:
http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearnMo re=MA886Z/A
The $699.00 upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.

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.

I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files. Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea. Liable to cause problems down the road.

I can't open my Final Cut Pro anymore...

Hi, I haven't been using final cut pro on my mac for a while and when I recently tried to open it, it didn't open and told me that "One or more of the scratch disks that I have specified does not have read/write access"... What does this mean?

If you don't get a dialog box during start-up to reset your scratch disks as Todd mentioned. Navigate to Users/~You~/Library/Preferences and delete the following file:
     com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
Then navigate to Users/~You~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data and delete these three files:
     Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs
     Final Cut Pro Obj Cache
     Final Cut Pro Prof Cache
This will reset you preferences to their defaults and hopefully get you up and running.

Is the application in your Purchases page? Are you signed in to the App Store using the Apple ID that purchased the software?

Can I capture with Final Cut Pro and edit in Premiere Pro?

Since it appears that Premiere has issues with capture - at least for me but as I see it for others as well - and that I can capture with iMovie, can I consider using Final Cut Pro for capture - then cross to Adobe Premiere and the suite for editing, finalizing ? Or is there a problem to copy the shots/files from one program to the other (would they remain identified clearly so I could just import shots into Premiere afterward ?)
Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,
When you capture HDV in FCP it creates a specific Apple HDV codec. This is a codec that is only available if FCP, Motion or Compressor is installed.
The two workarounds would be to use Premiere Pro on the Mac with one of the above mentioned apps installed on the same system or convert to a codec that can be read in Premiere.
Best,
Peter Garaway

To Final Cut Pro X? You want it, you just buy it. No separate upgrade pricing.

Missing all export options in Adobe Premiere (can only export to final cut pro xml). Where are the options?

There never was a trial version of FCP7. The application was only ever sold as part of the Final Cut Studio suite of applications. You might still find copies on eBay.

Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks?

Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks? Is any one else having problems? All my media is reputedly "offline" even though I can see all the files. Using the reconnect to media function doesn't do a thing. All of my previous projects are the same. Any ideas would be most welcome!

Because it is $299.99, and there is tax.
Cheers,

I'm trying to export my video on Final Cut Pro X the 30 day free tiral but it is not allowing me to do so, why is that?

Yes I have the project selected and when I hit share various options for where I want to share the video comes up so I hit one for instance the "Master File" I click on it and set my settings to quicktime and etc., then when I hit next it take me to a screen of where would I like to save the file at so I would put it on my extrenal hard drive. But when I got to check to see if it saved nothing is there. I tried to do Vimeo but nothing is there on Vimeo also.
