Captured video plays back fast (sped up) in Final Cut Express 4

I had a Panasonic mini-dv digital camera that was stolen and it worked great with FCE. I purchased a JVC GR-D870 (mini-dv) as a replacement and now in FCE when I capture video it plays back fast in the Viewer and if I open the .mov file in Quicktime. Note that the video plays back at the correct speed when played from the camera, and when the video is being captured. I've tried changing my Easy Setup, but nothing has helped much. I'm currently using the DV-NTSC FireWire Basic setting, though it doesn't matter which one I chose. I did try using the 25.00 fps DV-PAL setting and interestingly it will capture for about 2 seconds and then crash, but the 2 second clip I'm left with seems to playback at the normal speed. This is an NTSC camera so not sure how to get the video that I capture to play at the correct speed (frame rate?). Any help would be most appreciated.

Never heard this one before!
I have no idea why it is playing back fast, but if you have an NTSC camera you must use an NTSC Easy Setup.
When FCE behaves strangely the first thing to try is to delete the preferences as described here:-

    You convert it to AIC 29.97 at whatever frame size.
    Or purchase Premiere Pro CS6.

  • Import Video from Canon DC330 DVD Camcorder to Final Cut Express

    Does anyone know how this can be done? And how to do it.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Your camcorder records to miniDVD disks. There are three possible ways to import it to FCE.
    1 - if you have a Mac with a tray-loading DVD drive, you can use MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD video to QuickTime in order to import it into FCE. The DVD disk must be finalized in your camcorder first. And you cannot put a miniDVD disk in a slot-loading drive such as on the MacBook, MacBookPro, iMac - don't try it, the disk will get irretrievably stuck in the drive.
    2 - the camera has a USB port and if it's possible to connect & copy the contents of a DVD that is in the camera to your Mac's hard drive, you can also use MPEG Streamclip to convert the video for use in FCE.
    MPEG Streamclip is a free utility. You will also need the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component if you do not already have it on your Mac. You can download it from the Apple Online Store ($19.99)
    3 - The only other alternative is to connect the composite video & audio outputs of your camcorder to an analog-digital converter (like the Canopus ADVC-110 ) so you can capture the video in FCE while it plays back in your camcorder. In this case you do not need MPEG Streamclip or the Quicktime MPEG2 playback component.

  • 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.

  • How to convert video shot in 60fps into 24fps in final cut express?

    I was wondering if you can convert video that was in 60 fps into 24 fps within FCE to get the slow-mo fluid motion?
    Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    ok so what you are saying is it does support 60 fps then? I know the post says nothing about 720, it states that FCE doesn't support 60p so whether it is 720, 480 or whatever home made concoction, it doesn't support it. The reason I stated 720p60 is because there is no broad supported standard in 1080p60 and I didn't want to be attacked for using an unsupported HD standard as an "example". Clearly you don't know the answer and are just avoiding it like any politician.

  • Video out of sync in Final Cut Express... but in sync everywhere else!

    'm working on making one video that is composed of two camera angles of the same thing. So, I have two video tracks in Final Cut Express, one for the side view, and one for the main view. Both videos are Quicktime Movies (.mov extension).
    Here are the file details:
    Main Cam: duration - 1hr 26min 46sec // file size - 5.74gb
    Side Cam: duration - 1hr 29min 18sec // file size - 5.63gb
    [the side cam video is a little longer because I started filming with that camera a little bit before the main cam and stopped the filming a little earlier]
    Now, here's the problem. Both videos are in my Final Cut Express project. The Main Cam video runs fine. But the Side Cam video's video is out of sync with the audio by a lot (somewhere between 2 and 6 full seconds). Normally I would think that something had happened during the filming, but here's the odd thing: the Side Cam video plays perfectly in sync out of Final Cut Express.
    If I open it in Quicktime, or even in iMovie, the audio and video are perfectly in sync for the entirely of the video. But when I import it into FCE and watch it there, whether it's in the timeline, in the viewer, rendered, or unrendered (I've tried them all), it's horribly out of sync.
    So, the video plays fine and in sync everwhere except for in the Final Cut Express program. The Main Cam video, which has a very similar duration and file size and which is the same file type, plays perfectly even in FCE. The only problem is the Side Cam, and I can't figure out why this is, or how to fix it.
    Another thing: these videos were not captured from a camera into Final Cut. I already have the video files on the computer, and as I've said, the audio is fine there. To get them into FCE, I use file -> import.
    Also, if anyone has suggestions on how to fix this, could you provide directions of some sort? I'm fairly new to Final Cut.
    Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
    Thank you so much in advance!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Does both camcorders was set to 16-48 khz audio?
    One way to synch audio that drifting from video (or from anoter audio lenght) is to set precisely 2 markers (one near the beginning, another near the end) in the correct lenght video track. Try to find spots where you can hear and see a common reference. The result of the workaround will put a corrected audios between those points only.
    Now note the duration between those 2 markers in video track.
    *Unlink the video/audio clip with the wrong duration.*
    Select the drifting audio and put the 2 markers at the intended reference points.
    The duration should be less or more than the video.
    Use the blade tool to cut the wrong lenght audio at markers.
    The tips is to set a new duration for this portion with the set speed command.
    With this +new duration+, align the in point of audio with the first video marker. The out point of audio should be aligned with the second video marker.
    Now the audio should match the video lenght and should be in synch.

  • The best video converter for Final Cut Express format?

    I used to have a registration code for Visual Hub so I could convert files from my video camera so they would work with final cut express. My computer crashed awhile back so I lost my registration information (they are no longer selling these codes). Does anyone know a really good (fairly easy to use) video converter? Or maybe like to share a registration code :-)!

    I would like one that can do many different formats like Visual Hub did, but the file I am converting is a MPEG file. Also, I have some stuff that I made into a DVD using a Sony DVD burner and I needed to get those files converted.

  • The Resolution goes down when i add my video to Final Cut Express.

    When i add my video from my Sony HD Camera to Final Cut Express, the HD resolution goes down from 1920 X 1080 to 720 x 480, is there any way to prevent this from happening?

    Mr.Erdogan wrote:
    .. the HD resolution goes down from 1920 X 1080 to 720 x 480, ..
    in FCE, you have to set the resolution of your 'project' manually.
    you did choose 'Standard' (720x480)
    now, when you add HiDef to a SD 'sized' sequence, it has to get downscaled..
    ctrl-('right')-click your sequence, choose Settings
    click Load Sequence Presets
    select a 'HiDef' one, as AppleIntermediate '1920x1080/60' (I suppose, you're in the US?)

  • Webcam video plays back super fast speed

    hi, does anyone know about this: when i record video from my creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro, the play back is like twice the speed of real life. like a video speeded up. it was working fine on my previous computer, which was windos xp, and i upgraded to a newer computer with windows vista 64 bit, and now the video play back is too fast. i also tried viewing the video on other viewers like windows media and VLC, still too fast.

    Hi David, 
    I think we may be able to say more if you can tell us more about the rest of your code. What sort of structures are you using, and where are you dropping your AVI Capture code in? Is the video sped up on your front panel or when you play the resulting file?
    You should post the larger piece of code if possible.

  • Is it possible to change brightness in video play back?

    Is it possible to change brightness in video play back, without having to go to settings?
    If not, then who agrees this should be possible?
    I’m sure most iphone users have the stock brightness setting set to low to save battery power, but it’s very irritating when you go to watch a video in bright lighting conditions and in order to see it properly you have to go back out and change it.
    I am not computer programmer, but I’m sure it would be possible to have a slider (just like the volume) and could be introduced in a update.
    I think it would improve the overall iphone experience just that little bit more.
    What do you think?

    All Help > System Info does is to report your system specifications so you can copy and paste them in the forums for troubleshooting purposes.
    You can choose what to highlight and copy, but it does not change anything in your system like editing a configuration file would.

  • Why does my Flash Player keep freezing during video play back?

    I have the very lastest version for Windows 7 64bit OS and it keeps freezing during video play back.  The previous versions did not do this. I have to keep the cursor moving inside the video window to prevent the player freezing.  I have deslected HARDWARE ACCELERATION and it does not help.  Why is this happening and how do I correct this situation?

    Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Setings".
    Click the folder icon (center tab) and increase the storage to at least 10Mb.
