What is the benefit of "Enable Final Cut Studio color compatibility" in QT?

Hi(Bonjour)!
What is the benefit of "Enabling Final Cut Studio " in Quicktime player?
I'm used to calibrate my monitor to a less bright gamma, suitale for monitoring video content.
So does the +color compatibility option+ can give me more precision when I color correct my movies?
Michel Boissonneault

It does the same thing. The only difference is that the pref is active only when the QT player is active. So the gamma is not effected in other parts of the system.

Nik Software Crash: "Could not complete the Color Efex Pro 4 command because of a problem with-"

Nik Software/Photoshop Crash: "Could not complete the Color Efex Pro 4 command because of a problem with the filter module interface." Define, Viveza work fine, the others, Color Efex, HDR Efex, Silver Efex don't. I called Nik and they said they were familiar with this problem and that it was an Adobe problem. They helped me uninstall and re-install the latest version of the filters. Didn't fix the problem. I called Adobe technical support, they confirmed that indeed it was an Adobe problem, but, they can't help me because they no longer offer support on CS5. I'm on an iMac with Mountian Lion 10.8.5, running Photoshop CS5.1. I searched the internet and found this problem mentioned in several places, just couldn't find the fix. Interesting coincidence - I had been using Photoshop and the Nik software perfectly fine, even the morning of the day it began to crash. I got a pop-up message from Adobe asking if they could anonymously monitor my usage to better their products. I clicked on "Ask me later." Then, my product crashed every time I tried to use the above-mentioned Nik software filters. ??? Why would they want to monitor my usage of a product they won't/don't support anyway? Help someone please - I really love the Nik software. I paid top dollar for it back in the day because people like Dan Hughes actually answered your questions themselves. The customer support was the best in the industry. The opposite is true of Adobe, is it not?

Thank you so much Chris. I know I'm not the only person to run into this as both Nik/Google and Adobe acknowledged this problem. I did however try something else to try and isolate the issue further. I tried editing with Nik/Google Color Efex & Silver Efex, etc., in Aperture, and sure enough, the Nik/Google filters wouldn't open, or they would crash Aperture. So - it's looking like a Nik/Google problem. They used to be so good. The crazy thing is that I had been using Photoshop with the Nik filters just fine, even earlier that very day. What could have gone wrong? Was there some kind of automatic update Saturday 3/1/14? And it was especially weird that it happened immediately after I refused to allow Adobe to (anonymously) monitor my usage. I'll call Nik/Google back tomorrow and tell them what you've told me, as well as letting them know their filters crashed Aperture too. I'll report back as soon as I find a fix. I know I'm not the only one out there who's experienced this.
Thanks again!

How simple is the Bluray authoring in Final Cut Studio?

Hello!
I've been reading posts on Bluray authoring with Final Cut Pro. Just got the upgrade to Final Cut Studio and saw some video at the apple site about bluray.
Frankly, I don't want to spend money with a Windows authoring software for Bluray.
So, how basic is the bluray authoring in Final Cut Studio?
I need the following:
1-Use a custom image for the background in the menu (but no moving clips,etc).
2-Chapters.
3-Enclose an option for an extra short video (like "making off").
If that is done with FC Studio, it would be enough.
Thanks for your help.
Javier

Hi Tom!
Thanks for your help!
What I'm really interested is in the HD quality of the video. Flashy flying menus and camera angles I never used neither with commercial DVD or Blurays.
For authoring: I'll use a custom image (jpeg or whatever - probably a still from the video I shot) for the backgroud , 2 lines of title (1- full video and 2- extra short video) and chapters to jump to scenes.
In other hand, I shot a video mostly using time lapse with a Canon DSRL (TIFFs edited in Motion), set the FCPro project to 1920 x 1080 25p Apple proress 422 (HQ), and in a Full HD TV I use for monitor (with AJA HDMI converter) looks AWESOME! Images look as amazing as some Hollywood bluray I rented.
So as you can imagine,I don't want recompressions that may degrade the full HD video.
If that is possible with the FC Studio bluray basic authoring,I'm running monday to buy an external Bluray, like LA cie or else.
Regards;
Javier
P.D.: I posted in my site an HD clip made with the previous FCPro in Mpeg2. Now I'm using the H264. I didn't had an HD TV for monitor before. Did SD projects.Now the HD changes everything.

I have Final Cut Studio 2 which I've never installed. Can I upgrade it to the latest version of Final Cut Studio?

I have Final Cut Studio 2, which I've never installed. Can I upgrade it to the latest version of Final Cut Studio, or would I need to buy the latest version?
Thanks, Caoim

As an alternative, you could purchase FCP-X, which isn't an upgrade; it's a completely new application. To quote Apple; "It's revolutionary!" To quote me; "It blows!"
BTW, Final Cut Studio 2009 was also known as FCS 3. You might be able to find an upgrade version on ebay or craigslist.

Final Cut Studio 2 on iMac to be purchased

I am a first-time computer buyer, so I'm trying to make sure this purchase is going to be worth it. I'm looking to purchase the iMac off the shelf, but I'm uncertain if I need extra accessories to make Final Cut Studio 2 run. The Mac says it has "ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro Graphics processor with 256 MV of GDDR3 memory," and the software requirements say it needs, "An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)." Will I be required to buy a separate graphics card, or will the computer support it as is? If I need additional hardware, what specifically do I need?

I can offer a different perspective about a MAC for video editing. I used to believe that a Tower MAC was the only option for various video formats but since the landscape for current video cameras have changed, I now rely almost exclusively on a MacBook Pro.
The MBP has several advantages for attaching various adapters for competent video chores. The Express 34 slot can access two 7200 rpm SATA drives that can be RAID 0 and the MBP has Firewire 400-800 and USB 2.0 connections.
Since I use a P2 camera, I have capability of using FW connection to download clips or use a Express 34 (PCMCIA-EXP34) adapter for P2 capture. If you are using a DV camera you can capture from Firewire and capture to either FW 800 drive or the eSATA drives. You could even connect an MX0/MX02 to the Firewire for color correction.
Finally, you can utiize a 23" or even a 30" Cinema Display thru the DVI port as the current MBP's have great video cards.

Final Cut Studio 1.5 compatible with 2.0

Hello,
Are files created with final cut studio 1.5 compatible with studio 2.0 and vice-versa?
I remember that from 5.0 to 5.1 they were not back compatible, and it was a huge headache for us.
Thank you!

Not sure what you mean by "Studio 1.5", but no project file created with a newer version of FCP can be opened with an older version. The alternative is to export sequences as XML files.
Project files created with older versions can be opened by newer versions.

Color Correction in Final Cut Express HD

I'm editing a stage production of A Midsummer Nights Dream that was shot on two different cameras. The set is very bright and vivid, and i have read and re-read the FCE Help page on the color correction topic. I have corrected my master shots (wides). What i want to know is how i can adjust the colors of my close-ups:
1. the subject (Bottom in this case) is lit in a blue light (moon light).
2. the set (the woods) are lit by a bright green light.
What I want to do is match the colors to the master, but if i adjust to match the blue light on Bottom, the background loses its bright green. Likewise, if i try and make the green brighter to match the master shot, Bottom turns green too.
The help file mentions Limit Effect, but doesn't expand on it. Bear in mind i'm an 18 year old student, i pretty much need to be spoon-fed a solution!
Any help would be very very gratefully recieved, as i'm a bit pushed for time and trying to finish it this weekend (A-levels are looming...)
Thanks in advance,
James.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 17", 2.0GHz, 1Gb RAM

Limit effect is not going to help you in this case. You really need to control the overall image and get a balance between the wide and the CU. Color match Bottom's skin tone so it appears correct to you. Leave some of the blue cast to not lose the moonlight effect. Then color match the wide shot so that it has the same look as the corrected CU.

Color Correcting in Final Cut general question

I am finding I'm at the end of a long process with my feature film and I'm preparing to output and yet again I've run up against a wall of my ignorance...
1. It's a dv film I don't want to just output the film and then apply a color correct as I'm afraid of a lot of clipping...so I'm doing the individual clips through the film and I'm finding a lot of them I have to limit the rgb to 90 some go as low as 88, some are just fine at 100 or 97...it was shot on the dvx100 and I looked up the dvx and see it is geared for superwhite...but I want to prepare my film for broadcast...I wonder though if this is why I'm getting a lot that I have to limit the rgb to 90??? I wouldn't have known to tell the DP please don't use the superwhite settings.
So am I doing this right?
After I output the whole thing, do I color correct the quicktime again when I letterbox it (it's 720x480 to be letterboxed to 1:85:1) before encoding it for the mpeg2? Or if I'm doing it this way is it not necessary?
Thank you

Also is it stupid to do this when I already went through the film and applied color correction as what is bothering me is a lot of the color correct with the range check shows that little arrow that shows it's on the edge...those are the clips I'm bringing down to code because a lot of them the rgb is too hot...for just preparing a professional dv is it necessary to do what I'm doing?
I really want to prepare it once and not do different color corrects again so if what I'm doing above is correct for broadcast quality though it's going to look more muted on a dvd but maybe that's my confusion as many of the bright hilights giving it that look are on the verge or are clipped.

How to get the Vimeo encoding in Final Cut Studio / Final Cut Pro (for web)

I have some films I would like to "display" on the web. It seems that vimeo.com has a great way of encoding films for the web.
http://www.vimeo.com/
Anyone who knows how to do the same encoding within Final Cut? Or are there other ways for web which will work also for windows user (to watch the video without downloading extra plugins?
I love how the videos starts almost instantly in hd on Vimeo! Al right it skips a bit, but then again it is hd on the web.....

This is sort of a workaround for what you're trying to achieve:
Here's a Ken Stone article on encoding for Vimeo.
So...what a lot of folks are doing these days, is uploading to Vimeo (or similar service). Then back on your own website simply "embed" the Vimeo movie. You can control the size & control colors of the embed. When you're on the Vimeo page for a particular video, you'll see the "Embed" link on the right of the video. Click that and it will expose the code you need to copy into your own website.

Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice for Final Cut Studio 2

I'm about to order a Mac Pro and Final Cut Studio 2 and have a question about monitor choices.
Is the 24 inch Apple Cinema Display the best choice are there non-Apple monitors that will do as good or better job with HD editing and output?

COMPUTER MONITORS bear very little on HD editing and output...especially output. They are just the monitors you use to look at your clips and your timeline. THey work for SD and HD. You really only use them to, well, as I said, see what you are doing. It would be nice to have GOOD ONES so the image looks decent. I use the Dell 24" monitors. The current one is the 2408. Nearly half the price of the Apple 23" displays...and really, the only Apple 23" that exists connects via their new connector, so you need a new MacPro or MacBook pro...or some adapter, to get it to work. And they are not worth the extra money, in my experience.
Samsung monitors are also good.

Final Cut Studio on new iMac running MacOS 10.8

Several days ago, my beloved MacBook Pro died.
While its portability will be missed, money is tight and the Apple Store's offer of a refurbished new-for-late-2012 iMac was an offer I could not refuse.
MY NEW HARDWARE:
refurb new-for-2012 iMac, 2.9 GHz Core i5, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB hard drive, external USB Apple SuperDrive, MacOS 10.8, Apple Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adaptors
MY VIDEO GEAR
Canon Vixia HV40 (HDV)
Canon Digital Rebel T3
MY VIDEO SOFTWARE
Apple Final Cut Studio 3
Are there any issues with the new iMac or MacOS 10.8 to be on the lookout for?

Some people have reported issues withthe Tb-FW adaptor in capturing. Lots of posts on the FCPX forum of freezes with the 2 GB GPU. But overall, your iMac should be fast and solid.
Nice acquisition.

Final Cut Studio 2 & New iMac

Before I bought the new iMAC I asked if Final Cut Studio 2 (Final Cut Pro 6.0) would work on this computer. I was told yes.
I put the install disc in, and a message of powerpc discs will not work. However, in the folder (on the disc) it says system requirements can be Intel Duel...
Is there something I have to do to get it to recognize the Intel download?
I originally downloaded the application to my PowerPc. That died, which is why I bought the new IMac.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The biggest complaint about FCX is that it isn't FCP. It's all new software with different methods for editing. Takes relearning how to import, organize and edit. Some fine it easy, some find it hard. There's a 30 day trial, so you can find out for yourself. Don't attempt this without training...it's VERY different.
That Apple Employee was wrong, and was just trying to sell you a computer. FCP 6 is 6 years old, and the current OS doesn't take it, nor FCP 7 into consideration as to if they will work at all. SOme people have issues with FCP 7, others don't. But the OS is not designed with FCP 6 in mind...so fair warning.
ANd yes, it takes elbow twisting to get it to even install.
