Canon MVX460 (PAL) and latest Final Cut PRO HD capturing

Imac intel 20' with final cut pro HD latest update
Canon MVX460 is told to have a native 16:9 CCD. So I can imagine that pixel aspect ratio is 16:9. The problem is that Final Cut doesn't have any capture option for DV PAL 16:9 standard pixel aspect ratio or frame size, the only thing I've tryed is to capture in anamorphic but having native 16:9 images this is a useless quality loss... Nobody at canon technical service can tell me which is MVX460 frame size, but they were pretty sure about the 16:9 pixel aspect ratio... How can I set it to capture correcly the image without using anamorphic pixel ratio?
Thank you!

Thank you! so you say anyway it's anamorphic, I'm figuring it out working on my material!... by the way I use 5.1 FCP
The second issue is: I capture anamorphic (DV codec setting set to 16:9 am I right?) I use sequence setting anamorphic (DV codec 16:9)... if I open raw captured material with QT... it shows correct 16:9 view.
BUT when I export it using same sequence setting (and even changing them to 4:3, not anamorphic or whatever) the exported video doesn't play 16:9 in QT but it plays squeezed... the other option is to edit the sequence letterboxed and export it letterboxed... but I loose too much quality.
If I export it let's say XVID and open it with VLC I can choose the aspect ratio so anamorphic is not a problem.
My question: why does QT read perfectly the raw material anamorphic but it doesn't automatically read the exported anamorphic?
AND: is there a way to manually set QT aspect ratio?
thanks a lot!

I had downloaded and used Final Cut Pro 7 (studio 3) on my mac, but it died. Can I download it to my new computer without buying a new copy? I'm not sure of the number of installations for academic copies. How would I do this?

AH...good.
There is no limit on the times you can install it from the DVDs. There's just a limit as to being able to run it on multiple machines AT THE SAME TIME. If your old computer dies, or you sell it (please reformat the drive so they don't get FCP for free), then you can install on a new computer fine. And you are allowed to install on (1) desktop and (1) laptop at the same time as well...but only use it on one machine at any given time. Meaning you can use it on the desktop at work, and then when away from the office, on your laptop.
Long story short...you can install it fine without any issues.

Uninstalling and reinstalling final cut pro x 10.0.9

Hello all Can anyone tell me how to Uninstall and reinstall final cut pro x 10.0.9. Can I redownload final cut pro x I bought it on line. Also I'm running Lion.
My problelm with FCX it hangs after a few clicks. I have cleared preferences but no avail. Help please.
Can not update to Maverick.

Hopefully, you can fix before having to uninstall. If you so the only way you can get 10.0.9 is to install Mountain Lion (10.8.))
Does it hang with all projects?
How did you trash preferences? Use this app if you didn't earlier.

Disclaimer: This response assumes that a "new mac pro tower" is the new cylindrical model.
1. You cannot download Final Cut Pro 7. FCP7 is part of Final Cut Studio (2009) a.k.a "FCS3" and it was only released on a DVD set. It can still be purchased online (maybe even from Apple) for prices ranging from a few hundred to $1K and it is 5 years old and unsupported.
2. Although there are reports of systems running FCS3 on Mavericks, there are also a host of problems associated with this OS/software combination.
3. A new version of iMovie Pro Final Cut Pro X has been released which is reportedly very fast and is supported.
It's all a matter of what kind of movies you make...

Canon EOS 7-D/Workflow Final cut Pro questions.

Today i just upgraded my final cut pro from 5 to the latest 7.0.3, and im having trouble viewing my clips.
First off, im very confused.
http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=3249
i read this entire article and still cant view my clip in the timeline. Here's what im doing.
I plugged in my card into a card reader,
next i opened final cut pro, and i opened up log and transfer.
my clips are all there, and i can preview them all.
Step 3 is what confuses me.
3. In the Import Preferences window, select 'Canon DSLR' as your Source, and then select the Transcode to format of your choice (such as ProRes 422).
when i open up my settings/preferences in the log/transfer settings i cant seem to find "canon dslr, or how to make it my "source".
instead, i see AVCHD PLugin, P2 PLug in, MPEG2 Consumer Cameras, and Canon E1. i selected the Obvious Canon E1 (because thats the plug in you download) and when i added it to the queue it finished and i am still unable to see it in the right window. There's audio but the screen is white.
So the burning questions i have..
What am i doing wrong?
What do you use for your easy format or custom format?

First don't use Final Cut to import directly from the card. Use Disc Utility to make a new image of the card from your card reader onto a hard drive. Make a back up copy of this by dragging it to another drive if possible. Now if anything goes wrong you are secure. Open one of these disk images and log and transfer from them with FCP.
You do this by opening log and transfer window. Use the top left button in the window to point to the files. On the other side of the left pane at the top open preferences, select the Canon E1 but then double click the little arrows which should open another window and offer a selection of versions of ProRes, choose Apple ProRes or ProRes LT, anything higher is overkill. Select the files you want and add them to the import queue. They should start importing automatically. You should be able to see files appearing in logging bin progressively. Whilst the import is happening do not touch anything else in FCP, allow the whole import to finish before playing with them.

My wife has a G4 and wants Final Cut Pro

My wife has a G$ and would like to put Final Cut Pro on the machine. Is it possible and what would she need to do?

She won't be able to use the latest version of FCP; that's for Macs with Intel processors only. She'll need to find out what her G4's specs are and find a used version of FCP that will work with those specs. Offhand, I'd say she'll probably be good with FCP 4.5 or maybe even 5.0. But it all depends on matching the G4's specs with the requirements of the FCP version. Keep in mind that older versions of FCP will not work with many of the newer video formats.

Will Canon Vixia HF20 work with Final Cut Pro 5?

Hello,
Just bought a new Canon vixia HF20, and heard that it doesn't work with Final Cut Pro 5, only six. Is this true?
Also? Whats the first step in importing from this camera if it does work?

iMovie saves the footage inside its project file.
Right click the icon, choose "Show Package Contents".
Open the Contents folder -the footage is in the Media subfolder.
Can you bring it into FCP?
Dunno. Give it a try.
If that does not work iMovie has various export options.

Does Canon XF100 work well with Final Cut Pro

Does the Canon XF 100 work well with Final Cut Pro 7.03

I have read the information about this camera and I have looked at several discussion groups. Apparently you cannot edit in native format with this camera. This has been confirmed to me by a Canon rep. You have to bring in footage thru log and transfer which means it takes more time as it converts. I have never had to do this before. Because I have always imported thru log and capture. So because I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if they are using the camera and if it works well inspite of it. Or anyone has a better camera recommendation but in the price range of the XF100.
Thanks,

Stop Sharing Process And Restart Final Cut Pro X

Hello, i am pretty new to Final Cut Pro X. I have created and edited a video file in it. Now i am going to share it using Master File option. My question is that when the sharing process starts, which i can see in the background tasks option, is there any way i can stop the sharing process, let us say save what percentage is done, then close the Final Cut Pro X, and let us say i have to shutdown and restart my Mac again. Can i restart the sharing process from the same point???

NNo. You can cancel the process, but you have to start over.

Can I download final cut pro X trial version and use final cut pro 7 during and after the trial period ?

My company uses Final cut pro 7 and I have to know if we can try Final cut pro X on one of our G5 and, in the case of we can't switch to FCPX, if we can use FCP7 again without re-initialise it. Thanks
sorry for my english. it's not my maternal language.

You cannot use FCPX on a G5. It's Intel only.

A Must Read for all current and future Final Cut Pro X users

Take a breath people, as this article states, Final Cut Pro X IS NOT an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 7, it is an entirely new program. Much like Final Cut Pro 1 was the start of a new revolution in NLE video editing, Final Cut Pro X is the beginning of a new revolution. Anyone that has a clue of what they are doing or talking about when it comes to professional workflows knows you can't expect to switch to a new product and a new workflow from day 1. There is an evolutionary process to this, just like there was when the first Final Cut Studio came out, and then version 2 and then version 3 or any new version of OS X for that matter. It will take time for third-party developers to catch up just as it did with every other major release. In the meantime, you don't change a major piece of your workflow that your business or jobs depend on until that major piece has been out, tested and guarunteed to work for YOUR workflow, PERIOD! If you've purchased final cut pro X already, take this time to start learning a new way of looking at editing, a new way of working while the software catches up to the standards and features that every professional desires. If you havn't purchased it yet, either do so knowing what your getting right now, or simply wait for the evolutionary process to run its coarse.
This is the way the world of software works people, anyone that doesn't understand this, frankly, doesn't have a clue.

Original post: "Anyone that has a clue of what they are doing or talking about when it comes to professional workflows knows you can't expect to switch to a new product and a new workflow from day 1."
Even this shows ignorance of the professional marketplace. The fundamental workflow of the professional editor hasn't changed in 80+ years: The shots get delivered to the Editor, the Editor edits the shots and delivers the results. While I can see how editing software can change the way this fundamental workflow is accomplished, it will not change the fundamental workflow of movie making or programme itself. And therein lies the massive problem with FCPX! However Apple decides to redefine the workflow of how the professional editor edits, it must also provide the basic tools which allow the Editor to take delivery of the shots and make delivery to the other personnel involved in making the film. In a professional environment there are others with whom you must collaborate, when was the last time you saw film or TV credits where only one person was listed? Apple has decided NOT to incorporate in FCPX the fundamental tools which allow for the accepting and delivery of materials within the professional environment using internationally accepted standards. Apple has also left out a range of other essential features required by professionals.
FCPX is an excellently placed product. It's exactly what the makers of wedding DVDs, youtube contributors and the serious home enthusiasts has been lacking; an easy to use yet powerful and semi-automated video maker. It's an iMovie Plus, a Final Cut Express X, it fills a hole in the market and will be of benefit to hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people (far more potential customers than the relatively limited market of professional editors!). Unfortunately, what it is NOT is a Final Cut Pro X!! Because except for wedding DVDs, p*rn movies and a few other very simple editing jobs, it is unusable for the vast majority of professional editing situations.
It seems to me there are two reasons why so many people are so angry about FCPX. The first is that it is called Final Cut Pro X (Final Cut Professional 10) and has been marketed to everyone (including professional editors) as an upgrade from FCP7, this is at least misleading and at worst probably borders on misrepresentation. The second reason is that new features like iMovie import and Vimeo and Youtube export have been given prominence, while at the same time basic professional functionality has been removed. This is a very clear indication that the Final Cut software has been repositioned towards the prosumer market and away from the professional market. This is a real kick in the teeth for those who have built their careers and business around this software and Apple has made the situation worse by marketing this kick in the teeth as a major improvement?!
I've seen messages in other threads from happy amateurs telling the professionals to stop b*tching as FCP7 still works and they can continue using that version. This again demonstrates ignorance of the highly competitive nature of the professional editing marketplace. You need to be doing it better and more efficiently than the next editor. FCP7 has been in need of an update for a few years now, the longer professional editors stick with FCP7, the further behind the competition they will fall. It seems clear that for the foreseeable future FCP7 is Apple's last professional video editing software which means a considerable outlay for Editors, to buy new systems, new software and retrain themselves and employees. It's likely that the release of FCPX and the way it has been marketed will make life very difficult for many editors and may even ultimately cost some their livelihoods.
