How can I have three videos playing simultaneously on one canvas in Final Cut Pro 7.0

I am doing a project for my degree show and i want to put 3 .mov files horizontally stacked next to each other at a 90degree angle (see picture) How do i do this? (this IS the right way up) when show the TV will be put on its side.
If anyone has any input for this I'd be really grateful
Sam.

Put the clips in the timeline stacked on top of each. Switch the canvas to Image+Wireframe in the view popup on the top right. Grab the corner of the image and drag to scale it. Grab the edge of the image and drag to rotate. Open the clip into the viewer and set the rotation so it's exact.

You place an image or a color generator underneath the video.

Tips&Tricks How to use Final Cut and Color !

Hello ,
Final Cut - Color - Back to Final Cut
After many days of trying to get this combination working I have found a non-Color-Final Cut way :
1)After you final cut picture edit is locked you have to clean as much as possible the timeline . That means you will have to stick all your image clips to a sigle video timeline and remove all attributes from each clip . Delete all empty video tracks and audio tracks .
Make sure you don't have any gaps in the timeline .
All clips should have the same compression type and frame rates .
2)Send it to Color , grade all the scenes and render it out .
3)Go in finder to the render folder and create an automator work flow adding as source the render folder from color.
Add the find finder option and set it up to look after .mov files .
Add a move finder option and move all the .mov files from Render Color Folder to a new empty folder .
Having done this you should have all the files from the render color folder moved to a new folder .
4)Go back in Final Cut drag&drop all the clips from that new folder on a new timeline , go ahead and check if the new timeline is identical with the old one .
Copy and paste all the attributes from the old sequence to the one from color and re-render in Final Cut . That's it you should be able now to put it back on a tape as a master movie.
In my case Color 1.02 and Final Cut 6.02 I couldn't get the material out from color using another way .
Please post your detailed work flow here and also post if you find this post useful and/or bugs you find about this workflow .
I hope Apple will fix this issue in their next update .

I use external drives as backup. But I don't trust them. And in case of fire or what ever...It is of no use...
But I agree on your comment about DropBox. It would have been the perfect solution though.
What else is there?
I have a 2TB HD but these projects are huge and still growing - so I have to move my projects to several external drives. So maybe I should just work directly from external drives and skip the partition of the computers main drive? I am thinking of the disadvantage of reducing the total storage of the disk.

Exported File Opened in Quicktime looks bad, but looks fine in Final Cut

I'm working on a DV/NTSC sequence. Original footage captured from DV/NTSC, so there is no recompressing happening in the timeline. I've exported the sequence as a Quicktime Movie, using current settings, not recompressing all frames. I've also tried this exporting as a self contained movie, but get the same results.
Once the export is complete, I open the file in Quicktime, the quality is blurred and degraded compared to the canvas in Final Cut. I then open the same exact file in Final Cut and view it in the viewer, and the quality is perfect! I have no idea why this is happening. If I take my exported Quicktime file, and run it through Compressor to create different formats, they all produce the low quality, blurry results. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on how to get around this?
So far, the only fix I've found is to go into the sequence settings as select "None" for compressor instead of the default "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC" setting. The problem with this is that then the whole timeline has to be rendered. Once the rendering is complete, then I can export to Quicktime without any quality loss when viewing the file in the Quicktime Player.

From the menu bar:
*QuickTime Player* > Preferences > General > Use high-quality video settings when available.

Final Cut Express Problem

I just closed my canvas in Final cut and didn't save the project. Is there any way to get my project back?

There isn't anything there. The timeline is gone but all of the clips are there. Is there any way to get the timeline back? Thank you for helping me out w/ this.

Motion clip darkening video in Final Cut Pro

Hi all
I'm having trouble adding some motion graphics over the top of some video using Motion and Final Cut. When I drag the Motion clips, which contain little more than some animated text on a transparent canvas, into Final Cut, the video is darkened for the duration of the Motion clip. The appearance is like adding a black layer over the video at about 10% transparency, but obviously no such layer exists in the graphics. Any ideas?
FYI, the settings for these clips/videos are the same as ones I did recently, and no such darkening occurred. I'm stumped...

Are you rendering into RGB or YUV?

Final Cut Pro color problem

So I just got myself a new 24' LED monitor for my home edit suite, and I have been very pleased with it. I just happened to open FCP to see adjust my workspace for the bigger setup, and I noticed a strange problem. In FCP, the viewer and the canvas look very dark, like the brightness is turned down. It also looks that way on my laptop monitor, which has always been my second edit monitor.
However, my project exports look nothing like that on the same monitor. I thought perhaps the monitor wasn't calibrated properly, but the Quicktimes look fine. I've attached a screen shot of the problem. The image on top is the Quicktime, and the image on the bottom is the FCP canvas. What's happened to my FCP? Is it some sort of color profile or does it have to do with the resolution? Is it a FCP setting or a monitor setting? I don't understand why it changed how it looked on my laptop monitor, since nothing changed with it. Any insight would be fantastic!
Thanks

I believe this is the difference between broadcast gamma output via something like a AJA KONA card and a regular monitor gamma. Go into Final Cut Pro- System Settings and select the Playback control tab. Change the Gamma Correction from "Accurate" to "Approximate"
When you reset this you can then start to calibrate your monitor. Without that gamma setting changed you can crank all of your monitor settings to maximun brightness and you'll never ever see the pluge on your color bars.
Good Luck,

I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please?

I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please, by the way the "L" doesn't appear in the bottom left hand corner either? and by the way how can I get rid of that irritating Blue badge saying "AutoFill your contact details" all mine are in "address book" already!

You can't drag a transition into the canvas. If you're dragginmg a transition from the effects tab you drag it between the edit point of two clips in the timeline.
Make sure show edit overlays is turned on in the Canvas view popup.

Whenever I press spacebar to playback my video project in final cut pro X, the color wheel pops up and freezes the computer. Doesn't matter what computer I use. Why and how do I fix this?

Like I said, I'm doing a simple video and have finally made some progress in editing. All of a sudden, when I try to replay the video the color wheel pops up and nothing works. It just keeps spinning and spinning with no end. I end up having to force quit the program. When I restart it the same thing happens. I've tried it on 3 different computers and the results have been the same. I've read that perhaps the software needs to be updated through the mac store, I did that to no avail. I also read that perhaps the preferences for the project/final cut pro need to be reset. I downloaded a program that is supposed to do this for me but it didn't work I also went into Preferences in Final Cut and hit reset under editing tab which also did not work. I"m really frustrated about this and I"m getting paid for this video. This needs to be resolved ASAP. Thanks in advance for the help: ask any questions.

Please give complete details of your system and the media and the project properties.

How to show each color channel image of a video on Final Cut Pro X

Hi, Sir,
How to show each color channel (R or G or B) image of a video on Final Cut Pro X? I found this feature is useful for the image quality editing, such as the noise reduction.

Do you mean this?

Final Cut Pro 6 - firewire output to monitor I lose Canvas window. . .?

Hello, I am running Final Cut Pro 6 (Suite 2) on a G5 1.6 processor, etc etc.
I have noticed that with this version of FCP, that when my media goes out the firewire cable to a production monitor, that my motion of the clips STOPS in the Canvas and Viewer windows.
Anyone know why that is? Older versions of final cut, there were no problems. . .now there is? Is there some simple setting somewhere i am overlooking?
Please help! As surprisingly while it is not dire, it IS a nuisance. . .
Thanks,
Walt

in the Audio/Video Settings window >> A/V Devices tab
make sure you have ticked the "Mirror on Desktop" checkbox
• Mirror on desktop: Select this checkbox to simultaneously show video on both your
computer’s display (in the Canvas or Viewer) and an external video monitor. Some
third-party video interfaces may override this setting.

Best way to go from Final Cut to DVD preserving Color Corrections

What is the best way to take my video project from Final Cut and burn it on a DVD (using DVD Studio), I need to preserve the color corrections I have made (used an external video monitor)? Also my camera shoots at black level IRE 0 and I have edited it that way, but as we all know NTSC TVs use IRE 7.5 is there anyway DVD Studio or FCP can convert the IRE so it matches?

from FC; export to compressor
In compressor, choose appropriate preset (i.e. best quality, >90 minutes, 16x9)
encode the sound as dolby 2 (if you choose "all" you'll get an extra aif file)
take the 2 files (video and audio) into dvd studio to encode.
Not sure about your IRE 7.5 question, I always assumed it was automatically converted but now you have me thinking...

I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
What are the audio settings?
What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
It could be related to the audio frequency?

Color Resolution Presets and Final Cut fullscreen playback of 2.35:1

I have sent a project from Final Cut Pro to Color. In Color's resolution settings, I have selected the 2k 2.35 setting to achieve a wider image. Once I finish Coloring and rendering and I send the Color project back to Final Cut Pro, the aspect ratio is a perfect 2.35:1 wide image.
HOWEVER, when I use the Digital Cinema Desktop preview playback function (basically full-screen playback), Final Cut plays my footage back at 2.35:1, but stretched to fit 16:9. This is what it looks like in full-screen: http://gallery.me.com/amirij#100115/Screen-20shot-202009-09-04-20at-203-58-52-20 PM&bgcolor=black
Why is it doing this and how can I fix it? I assume it's a setting, but can't find it...
Thanks in advance:
Johnny Amiri

1) Color correction, especially when done with separate application from the NLE, should be done AFTER picture lock. There are some measures if there are tweaks after, but they aren't 100%. Always wait to color correct until after you have picture lock. But you can render out of Color, media with handles, so you can do minor tweaks. And if you add new shots, make those into separate projects, send them to Color, grade, and send back.
2) You need to either read the manual, or look for a tutorial on Color. It goes through all the steps. Send to Color...grade in Color...render...then SEND TO FCP. That'll send a new sequence to FCP. Not a rendered out QT file...the full sequence.
