Capturing in Express and working in Pro?

Before I spend the time going down this [for me] uncharted path, I wanted to look up the following advice:
If I have a licensed copy of express (which I do - but not currently installed on my Macpro) and a licensed copy of FCPro -- can I have both applications running on this one machine simultaneously?
I want to be able to continue to do my work (in FCP) while capturing video. So it would be great if I could use FCE to capture in the background while working forward in FCP.
Is this possible?
Is it a bad idea?

In my experience you can capture in FCE and edit in FCP without any problem; but you won't be able to go back to FCE for further editing.
I'm not sure though it is a good idea to run capture on background while doing other jobs. I think it depends a lot on the type of foreground job (rendering would not be a good idea) and mainly on your Mac power. You might cause dropped frames during capture...

Compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro

I'm getting ready to edit a project and I was wondering if there are any compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro. I've never used Express put I assume I would be able to make cuts, simple effects and titles. Is this correct.
If I transfer project files from one platform to the other will i run into any issues?
Thanks for all and any help.

Although they operate in a similar fashion that are not fully compatible. You can open a FCE project in FCP, but once you've edited it in FCP you can't go back to FCE.

Can not capture with CS6 and blackmagic multibridge pro on HP Z820

This is the setup:
Z820 and Windows 7 pro
Multibridge Pro and driver 9.7.7
CS6.0.5
In premiere I can not capture via the Multibridge. The app crash when entering capture mode. I can not change setting in my capture device.
On the same PC I CAN capture with Media Composer v7 and BM Media Express.
I've tried several version of the BM driver, no changes.
The BM PCIe card is in slot 1 and the PC bios I have update to v3.50.
Anyone having the same experience?
Regards
Danny

Thanks for the reply. I know YouTube is not the way to check quality but it shows the stutter in playback. The quality wasn't the issue and it is filmed with my phone. The video shows what it needs to show.
Disk setup is a ddp server (check http://www.dynamicdrivepool.com/ for info) connected with 2 network cables for optimal speed.
Video cars is a NVIDIA Quadro K4000.
Premiere Pro CC is up to date with the latest version.
Export settings? I think you mean sequence settings:
For the record: I'm not trying to play a sequence with multiple layers of video of different codecs and loaded with effects. It's just a video chopped to pieces and an adjustment layer with some simple effects. The way Adobe is advertising the performance of Premiere Pro, one would think that couldn't be a problem for any Z820. Or that's what I was thinking. Hope you or anyone can help.

Standard MacBook Pro and Final Cut Express and other great Pro Apps

Hey Guys - tell me if this configuration of a MacBook Pro would be ok and work great for Final Cut Expess, Aperture, Creative Suite, and other Apps without slowness and other problems
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
250GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
Superdrive 8x
2GB 667Mhz DDR2 SDRAM - 2 x 1GB
Thanks in advance.

Yes. However, if you want to run +more than one+ of those listed apps simultaneously, the best thing you can do is add more RAM. Go to the max - 4 GB (2 x 2 GB). Note that Apple overcharges for RAM (and they don't make RAM, they just buy it from Samsung, Micron, and others, mark it way way up, and resell it). So, buy Crucial (the consumer division of Micron, in fact) or Kingston RAM. 2 x 2 GB sticks can be purchased for a little over $100 (compared to Apple's $200).
Hope this helps...

Final cut express and Final Cut Pro coexistance

I heard that FC express HD destroys the ability to export to tape in iMovie HD. Is that true?
If it is Will FCP HD do the same thing?
Will Express and FCP remain toatlly functional if I have them both installed.
My grandson likes to make movies in iMovie and I dont' want to discourage him, but I like to learn new things.

That was with iMovie4 (and 3) only. Doesn't happen with iMovieHD. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93804
I don't know about having FCE and FCP installed together though.

Airport express and new macbook pro

my daughter has just purchased a new macbook pro and we have set up the airport express. her macbook tells her that she is connected to the airport express but she can not load safari.

Hello Jodi Meyer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
How do you have the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) configured to get Internet access? That is, do you have it connected directly to another router or modem? If so, what is the make/model number of that other device?

Moving project between Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro back and forth

We are buying new Macs to our studio. One will be main editing suite with Final Cut Studio 2.
Another Mac mini will have Final Cut Express.
I do understand that you cannot open your FCE project in FCS, but can you do it the other way around, using the Mac Mini as "offline suite"?

OK, so far, soo good. But can I open a FCP project in FCE?
(Scenario: I start working in FCE, continue in FCP and return to FCE).
I understand if some effects, etc won't show up in FCE.

Can't get airport express to work with new wireless router

I just swapped out a linksys wrt54gl for a linksys E1200 wireless router on my home network. My PCs and iPads, and TV all made the switch to the new network fine, but the airport express isn't working. All I want to use it for is to transfer iPad audio to my home speakers. but my iPad AirPlay shows the old Airport as an option, I can switch to the Airport, no sound comes out the home speakers, then the iPad reverts AirPlay back to iPad. This model Airport just has power, USB, and LANA ports, so it doesn't seem like it would be complicated. A CAT 5 cable goes from the airport WAN port to one of the ports on the back of the new wireless router. What did I overlook?

I thought I'd jump in here with you network experts for some help with a related networking problem.
Equipment: iMac 24-inch, Early 2009 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2 MBP w/Retina Display; AirPort Express version 7.6.4 (Conncected Using: DHCP; Router Mode: DHCP and NAT); Comcast/Xfinity Gateway 1 Modem w/2.4 GHz WiFi.
#1. Comcast forced me to change modems to their Gateway 1 saying mine was at “End of Life.” Previously, my home network was set up with AP Express and worked fine using my iMac as a server. After installing the Gateway 1, I could not get my network to work after repeated calls to their support, online chats, trial and error, reading community chats and articles, etc. I put the Comcast modem in passive mode using the “Bridge” setting and re-established my network with my AP. I’m using my iMac as a server for file sharing with my two MBP’s. The network isn’t recognized in sleep mode and will not wake from sleep and I can’t find it or Connect to Server when the computer is asleep. I’ve tried all combinations within the Energy Saver/Screen Saver/Security preferences. I’ve reset the SMC and other like resetting to factory defaults. How can I fix this and what are the correct settings for my home network to function again with my AP Express?
#2. TimeMachine stops doing backups when the computer is in sleep mode, understandably because I’m not making any changes on the iMac that need to be backed up. But using my laptops on the network, I am making changes in shared files that are hosted on the iMac that I would like backed up. I cannot get the schedule feature to work to wake up the computer long enough to do a backup nightly because, as a security feature, I log out after 30 minutes of inactivity. I understand the schedule doesn’t work unless you’re logged in. Is there a way for me to make this work?
Thanks!

Airport Express and Airtunes not working

Hi all. I have a Digital Audio G4. I've been able to use my G4 with iTunes and my Airport Express for quite a while. All of sudden iTunes no longer sees it. The Airport Admin Utility doesn't see it either. But I can still connect to the internet with it. What makes this even weirder is, I also have a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has no problem seeing the Airport Express in the Airport Admin Utility and in iTunes.
Any Help you can give is much appreciated.

I can't offer any help. I am having the same problem except I have an Airport Extreme with the Airport Express acting as an extender. The only thing that works for me is unplugging the Airport Express and plugging it back in. Sometimes it is fine the entire day. Other times I have to do this multiple times throughout the day. I don't think this is a good, long-term solution. Any help anyone?

Final Cut Express HD and the Macbook Pro

I just purchased a Macbook Pro along with final cut express HD. After purchase I read that FCE HD won't work with the macbook pro. I was hoping to see if anyone knew if they were coming out with an upgrade to the universal version like they are with Final Cut Pro.
Intel based macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.4)

That will not work. Ian's solution is for dual core G5s and PCIe based iMacs. It does not address Intel based machines like the 2006 iMac and the MacBook Pro. These machines will have to wait till the end of March for the release of new Universal Binary software to run on them. It's possible FCE3 will never run and will need to be upgraded to another version. If you recently purchased FCE HD to run it on this new computer, I'd suggest, if you can, to return it until the position on the new software becomes clear.

Airport Express and MacBook Pro

Hi,
My MacBook Pro is about 2 years old or so. It has only been today when my MacBook stopped receiving wireless (my airport express is right under my laptop, under the desk). The airport signal bar in the upper right corner reads strong. However, when i open Safari 3.2.1, it refuses to load any page. I know my Airport Express works as I am using it on my iPhone.
Is there a solution to help my macbook pro recognize the Airport signal again? I've tried restarting / resetting my Airport Express and cycling my cable modem. None seem to be the solution.
I open to my Airport Admin Utility and there seems to be negative noise and signal for my laptop... is there a reason for this? Here's a screenie of it.. the top is my laptop while the second one is my iphone: http://twitpic.com/wyz2/full
thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same problem. My iPhone is perfect but my Macbook receives the wifi conection intermitantly. It usally works for a few minutes then drops out completely. I used iStumbler to confirm the Express signal is constant. Also, to check that other WiFi connections in the area weren't interferring by changing the channel. But it has to be the Macbook which incidentally works absolutely fine on every other Wifi connection I've connected to.
Some little setting on the Express perhaps? Did you have any joy?

I used to have an application in my iPhone 4 and 4s that captures business card and creates its content to my contacts. Its no longer working with my i5. Can you recommend me a new apps for this same function

Try CardMunch it works well for me

I have lightroom 5.7 and a macbook pro 10.9.5. Occasionally when I am editing a photo in the develop module, I suddenly get a "file not found" message and the editing ceases to work. There is no "exclamation" icon below the histogram box in the Library

I have lightroom 5.7 and a macbook pro 10.9.5. Occasionally when I am editing a photo in the develop module, I suddenly get a "file not found" message and the editing ceases to work. There is no "exclamation" icon below the histogram box in the Library module or on the photo in grid view, and the histogram is gone. What is going on? Trying to find it using the "find missing photos" in the library menu does nothing.

I have pluged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?

I have plugged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?
if the device I connected have caused this, shouldn't the macbook itself have some type of protection that should prevent this from happening.
because when I took it to an apple certified maintenance shop, the guy said that now it could only run while connected to the power. it won't run on batteries. and that I have to change the motherboard.
can I just replace the damaged part only, would apple consider this as a design issue and they could pay for it, or should I just buy a new motherboard for 800$.
Help.

BB1B2,
The problem is in finding a tech shop that will/can do board level repairs on Macs. They are few. And I certainly wouldn't spend $800 on a new logic board - I would replace the computer if I had to pay that much!
You could call around to a few repair shops and see if they feel competent to isolate the problem and do a board level repair - but I'm afraid, in the end, that your search will be futile.
Sorry,
Clinton

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.
