Compatability between FCE and FCP

Hi all,
We run a number of copies of (Non-Universal) FCP on G5s. We ahve a client who wants to do some tinkering of their own to some edits and has an Intel Macbook. A universal copy of FCE seems to be the answer for them as long as:
1. FCE can use the projects / sequences /media created in FCP
2. FCP can use the projects / sequences /media created in FCE
3. There are no issues with one being the Universal and the other not.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi all,

G5s. We ahve a client who wants to do some tinkering
of their own to some edits and has an Intel Macbook.
A universal copy of FCE seems to be the answer for
them as long as:
Speaking from exprience using the PPC version of FCE 3.0 on an Intel iMac, when I launched it, I got an error message saying I didn't have to right processor/video card (?) and the only option was to quit launching the program. At that dialog box, I pressed the esc key and it continued launching and I had no problems using it. I don't know if that will work on a MacBook, try and find out. I removed it from my PPC machine before installing it on the Intel machine. Also for what it's worth, the license for FCP 5.1 (UB) allows for a single install on a desktop machine and a laptop owned by the same person and only one copy running at a time.
1. FCE can use the projects / sequences /media
created in FCP
I don't know. Haven't tried.
2. FCP can use the projects / sequences /media
created in FCE
I used FCP 5.1 (UB) to open FCE 3.0 (PPC) projects and found no problems doing so.
3. There are no issues with one being the Universal
and the other not.
Not that I found, but I'm a weekend editor and may not have come across any issues, a power user may be able to answer better.

General workflow between FCS and FCP question....

Hey all.
I'm totally new to FCS, and while in a few hours I've figured out a lot about how it works, what is totally eluding me is how to establish an efficient work flow back and forth between FCS and FCP...it's really driving me crazy.
Yeah, I know, read the manual...but nothing I'm finding anywhere seems to be a really direct, straight-up description of how to get a FCP project up and running.
Specifically I am dealing with the whole "checking out" a project thing, creating proxies, etc., it just feels very awkward. The test project I'm working with has 1 (ONE!) clip (granted a 28GB HD clip)...but FCS is not allowing me to make a proxy into the cache, this is after I already took that clip into FCP, cut it, saved it, checked it back into FCS just to make sure I got the basics of flowing back and forth down.
I wish I could be more specific, but I really really really just want a basic explanation of how to use the FCS as, you know, a server.
Anyone who can point me in that direction is a GOD!
thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Here are the specific sections of the manual that should give you the best explanation regarding the Check out/in workflow for FCP projects in Final Cut Server:

I have a web site built by Yahoo Web Site Builder which does not have a Mac version, is there any compatability between Iweb and the old Yahoo program?

I have a web site built by Yahoo Web Site Builder which does not have a Mac version, is there any compatability between Iweb and the old Yahoo program? If not how do I clear off the old site so as to re publish with Iweb.

iWeb cannot import published files so you would need rebuild the site.
Yahoo hosting is notoriously poor and their tech support is awful. I would suggest you look for new hosting and start afresh. Some pointers for choosing hosting...

If you do choose to go this route, transfer your domain name registration away from Yahoo to your new host.

First Project - Poor resolution when working between FCE and LT

I've put together a 1 minute sequence in FCE 4 (1920X1080) and it looks great when I export to QuickTime movie.
I then use that movie as a background in LiveType, adding a bunch of titles and graphics.
If I then render the movie in LiveType the rendered movie chokes and skips. If I import it back into FCE and export it back to a QT movie, it looks poor - compression artifacts and the text doesn't look crisp.
Is there a better way to:
1) Sequence and edit my clips (1 min movie)
2) Add tiles/graphics throughout
3) Output to HD format
Thanks!

I figured it out.....
Rather than rendering the movie in LT and importing to FCE, I just imported the LT project itself. Working between the two apps simultaneously, I can position the text and graphics from LiveType, save, then instantly see the results in FCE.
Everything is looking crisper....

Battery compatibility between X31s and X61s

Hi!
I own a X31s and X61s, and would like have a spare battery handy for travel. Before placing the order, I am wondering if the following battery can be used on both:
* ThinkPad X60s Series 4 Cell Slim Line Battery
It is not cheap, so I would like to think twice before buying. Somehow I cannot find any information on the compatibility issue. Thank you for your help!
Jenny

jennyumaa, welcome to the forum,
unfortunately the batteries are definitely not interchangeable between X31 and X61 systems.
Sorry

Compatability between LaCie and other drives

Greetings Kind MacAddicts!
I have a 160GB LaCie (Triple Threat?) FW800 external drive and have had no problems. Now I want to expand and daisychain another external drive. Thinking of a Maxtor with FW800 (more bang for the buck) and wondering if there are any known compatability issues between LaCie and Maxtor, or btw Maxtor and the new Intel processors. Suggestions?

Well that drive inside the LaCie casing could very well be a Maxtor drive too :P
Remember LaCie don't actually make Hard Drives, they just put drives from other manufacturers in their external casings and charge a premium.
Yes, some of their designs look nice

FCE and FCP...

I have FCE 4.0.1 and was wondering if I could also use FCP 6.0.6.
My school has FCP 6.0.6 and I have to make several projects using FC.
The files would be saved on an external hard drive 1tb firewire 7200rpm.
I was wondering if the two applications are interchangeable in that I could edit one project on using both FCE 4.0.1 and FCP 6.0.6.

In general, you can open FCE projects in FCP, but not the reverse. Once you save a project in FCP, it's no longer readable in FCE.

Colour difference between color and FCP

i have edited in FCP doing no colour correction at all then i have sent it to color using the
file send to color option
done my colour correction and sent it back using the
send to final cut pro option
no i am really happy with the colours in color using pri in, sec in, colorFX and pri out, rendered it all but when i send it back to FCP everything is redder well pinkish then what it looks like in color
am i doing something wrong at all
i have tried to adjust the amount of red in color then render and send back but it still looks the same.
im lost can anyone please help
adam

Yes, you are doing something incredibly wrong. This non-issue is rearing it's ugly head so much it's nauseating. What you are seeing is the display differences between Color and Final Cut Pro. Do a search on all the Color forums and you'll find a host of very similar threads to yours.
The solution is to use a real input/output device like an Aja Kona or Blackmagic Decklink card and send the video signal to a production monitor. Those of us using this infrastructure see none of this non-issue that other users who are relying upon their highly inaccurate computer displays are seeing.
You are at a disadvantage however as there is currently no accurate way to get external monitoring capabilities out of an iMac as it is woefully lacking in expansion capabilities.

Best way to work between Motion and FCP

I use Motion on occasion but always seem to run into a problem when I export projects to .mov files and import into FCP as the same. The files always show up in FCP but if I return back to Motion to edit the Motion Project I get an alert that say that file is in use. Should I just import the whole .motn file into and FCP and render after or is there a better way? Any ideas would be helpful.

Hi Buck,
if you export your motion project as a mov file you create an independent file with properties selected prior export. That file becomes independent from all applications and will remain even if you delete the project it originated from. On the contrary, if you import a Motion Project into FCP it will always depend on and reference its native editor.
If you are using a previously exported mov file within both Motion (say you re-imported it, apply changes and try to save it with same name) and FCP at the same time then you may get the warning that the file is in use.
Any change you make in Motion to your .motn project should update within FCP timeline instantly.

Compatibility between Yosemite and Photoshop / Bridge CS5.

I am concerned about the possibility of incompatibility between Yosemite and Photoshop / Bridge CS5 so have delayed updating my Mac. Has anyone updated, experienced problems and found solutions? What does Adobe have to say in this regard?

I'm not sure I know enough to answer the question.
The images are on my G5 on a second internal hard drive (not the boot drive).
They are in a folder with a lot of images from the same shoot.
That folder shows up in the Library in Aperture, also. I think I imported them. But, as best I can tell, they do not "only exist in Aperture" because I can see them, and their .xmp files in the original file on the second internal hard drive.
Thank you so much for trying to help.

Maximum clip speed in FCE and FCP?

I'm currently using iMovie '09, which allows a clip speed increase of up to 2000% (two thousand percent). I'm considering purchasing FCE or FCP but before I do, I'm hoping someone can tell me the maximum clip speed increase. Just FYI, In iMovie '09, the slider stops at 800%, but a value of 2000% can be manually entered. Thanks for any insight.

FCE and FCP will not recognize LiveType files

I have FCE 3.0, also recently upgraded to FCP 4.5 (I work on both) Also upgraded to QT 7.4 from 7.0. The first time I tried to import a livetype file to either FCE or FCP, they would not recognize the files. They appear in the list of files, but are grayed out. I have livetype 1.2.1
Any ideas? Thanks.

I notice no one is able to answer this...doesn't anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Issue with VPN compatibility between 2811 and 2911

hello
I would like to ask anyone have had any issues with setting up a VPN tunnel between 2811 and 2911?
The IPSec VPN is established but for some reason I cannot ping the LAN side to the other LAN side of the other end of the VPN Router?
Any experience would be much appreciated
Thanks

IPSec VPN can be with no problem set up between any cisco routers (and not nesesserely cisco), so there are should be no issues in your case.
If you say that tunnel is established successfully, then problem most probably related to routing issues between sites or incorrect crypto-acl configured. Check if hosts on both sites have correct routing information on how to get to subnets on the other site.
To make more accurate assumptions it would help if you provide config on both sites and describe your topology.

USB Flash Drive Compatibility between Mac and PC?

Hi,
I own an iMac 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and just got a new job where I'm using a PC. At work they all use flash drives to transfer data back and forth to computers etc. Would a flash drive (let's say a Kensington since that's the brand I've seen the most at work) that works in a PC at work be compatible with my iMac at home. I know Kensington makes them compatible for Mac and PC but just wondering how the data would transfer onto my Mac. Is it readable, does it depend what I'm transferring over?
Message was edited by: spiralgirl

{quote} guy there said they haven't yet perfected the flash drives to switch between Mac and PC and work well so I was a little surprised at this. {quote}
That is pretty much a standard reply you get from someone that doesn't know anything about macs. I've used those things for years without any problems, but I have been using my ipod as a disk lately because I always have it with me. It's also another less thing I have to buy and carry around.

Compatibility between CF7 and CF10

Hi
We currently have two load-balanced servers running CF7 Enterprise Edition. The applications use the Client Variable store, so that we can move users between servers as necessary (should one become busy / unavailable).
We now want to add a third server into the cluster. This will have to be CF10 Enterprise Edition.
Does anyone know if the Client Variable store operates in the same way, or am I likely to have problems if I try and add this to the cluster? Also, can anyone point me in the direction of looking at which CF tags (or tag attributes) have been deprecated between 7 and 10?
Thanks
Karl

I don't think you will find a list of differences between CF 7 and CF 10 from Adobe. Maybe someone out there has compiled a list???? More likely you will need to read the release notes from each version and determine that way.
