Differences between Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Studio 5.1

Hi, all,
Unfortunately, I didn't find a list of what the main differences are between those two products on the Apple website - only about the latest versions of the programs.
Since I consider buying a used version of Final Cut Studio 5.1, I would appreciate if someone could give me an idea of what the main features are that come along with FCP as compared to FCE.
I am shooting HD with Canon HV30, so I am primarily interested in the HD features. Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
M.

Filters in FCE process video on a field-by-field basis; in FCE, only Generators process video on a full-frame basis, i.e. in considering both fields of each frame.  By contrast, FCP allows you to choose how Filters process video:  field-by-field or full-frame.  For interlaced playback (e.g., on an NTSC monitor), field-by-field processing may be best, but not necessarily; but for progressive scan playback (e.g., on a flat screen TV, as well as on a computer monitor), video that was shot in progressive mode needs to be processed on a full-frame basis in order to avoid getting artifacts -- at least when applying certain effects.
In short, depending on the mode in which the video was shot, depending on the playback mode, and depending on the effect that you are applying, you may need to control how the corresponding Filter processes video (field-by-field or full-frame), and you can do this only in FCP.
This is also true when applying certain effects that are not explicitly labeled as "Filters", e.g., zoom.  For example, if you use FCE to zoom in, over time, on video, the second field of each frame will be zoomed in slightly more than the first (since in essence, FCE "assumes" that the footage was shot in interlaced mode and that therefore, the second field was captured later in time than the first).  Consequently, during playback on a flat screen TV, where both fields are displayed simultaneously, the fields will be shifted left-right with respect to one another, which may be quite noticeable.

  • Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1

    Hi,
    I have a client with both of these installed on the same machine (running 10.4.6).
    When they try and launch either application, the splash screen comes up, loading various filters, etc. then they get an error message:
    "File Error: A file of this name already exists" "OK"
    Clicking "OK" closes the app.
    Any idea:
    1. What the file in question is?
    2. Can it be deleted to let the app run?
    3. Can Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 be used on the same machine?
    I'll post this on the Final Cut Pro thread too (but with the order reversed).

    1. No idea.
    2. Depends what the file is.
    3. Yes. Though I've never tried to run them at the same time.

  • How do I open my Final Cut Express 4.0 files in Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?

    Hello,
    I used Final Cut Pro when I was in college and when I graduated in 2010, I bought Final Cut Express 4.0. I recently bought Final Cut Pro 10.1.3 two days ago and I am having trouble opening up my old Final Cut Express 4.0 files. When I do go to open up these files they only open up with Final Cut Express and I always get the message: file's format is too new for this version of the application.
    How do I open these Final Cut Express 4.0 files in Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?
    Thank you!
    Anna

    TThere is no way to go directly from FCE to FCPX. If you know somehow who has FCP7, they can open the FCE projects and export XML files. These can be converted to FCPX XML format using the 7toX utility.

  • Hey, I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera, whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there, please help !

    Hey,
    I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera.
    Whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there,
    please help !

    FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
    If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
    What is your camera's exact model name and number?

  • When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

    When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

    You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.
    Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.
    If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.

  • Any software differences between new airport express and extreme?

    I was wondering if there are any features or configuration differences between the two, such as configuring VPN passthrough.
    The only difference I can see is using the USB for hard drive use.
    Also, do you think the performance will be similar.  I know the time capsule actually rated slower than the extreme even though they use similar hardware.

    Vijay,Thanks for your answer,but I am still not clear about it,I have a instance to describe my question at detail.
        If there is a final product A, and the planning strategy for A is 20(MTO), the procurement type of A is F(external procurement) at the view mrp2 in the material master datas.
    step1: I creat a sales order.
    step2: run MRP for A.
    step3: transfer the purchase requistion into a purchase order,and the field of acc.***.cat. in the purchase order will be filled out M automatically, because the acc.***.cat. in the planning strategy 20(MTO) is set with E.
        Well, the purchase order is created, what is the relationship between the sales order and the purchase order? What will be happened about costing between the SO and the PO?
        If I delete the E, I make the PO become a standard PO, what is difference between standard PO and the PO including E?

  • Difference between Hyperion Financial Reporting version 7.0 and 9.3.1 ?

    Hi All,
    Can you please difine Difference between Hyperion Financial Reporting version 7.0 and 9.3.1 ?

    I migrated from 7.5 to 9.3.1 a couple years back so hopefully this is somewhat helpful.
    From a developer perspective, the report designer itself looks about the same. The most annoying changes for me were that they started migrating functionality AWAY from the client program and to the web. For instance, managing security is a pain as it is done through Workspace and it is a bit clunkly. I also ran into some issues where my old report's security information is not visible in Workspace. It is still 'working', but when you view report properties, it shows nothing for who has assigned security. Also, things like deleting/moving reports and creating folders are done through workspace and not the client program. "Copying" can be done through the client program by using "Save As" functionality.
    There is a migration tool to move your old stuff to 9.3.1. It seemed to work OK; however, the User Interface was a bit screwy. For instance, it said I was 138% complete when it finished. It copied more reports than it showed as existing.... :)
    On the back end, things changed quite a bit. In the older Financial Reports, the report objects existing in a single database table and if you wanted to, you could extract everything from that table. In 9.3.1, part of the information is in Workspace database (i.e. Report names/ID's, security access, hierarchy) and the actual report file itself is stored in a psedo-filesystem under the RM webapp. The names are not user friendly at all and you'll need to XREF from the database to make sense of it. When you finally find the actual report "file", they are compressed/encrypted.
    From an end user perspective, things pretty much work the same way as always.

  • Differences between BI Mobile 4.0 for iPad  and SAP BO Mobile 3.0

    Hi:
    What's the difference between BI Mobile 4.0 for iPad  and SAP BO Mobile 3.0
    I need something licence for BI Mobile 4?
    Mobile 4.0 is only for All in one?
    I have SAP BO 8.81.
    Thanks.
    Christian.

    Hello everybody,
    thanks to Deepu I managed to get the iPad app connecting with our BOXI server now, too.
    Once again, you need to have/install
    >> BOXI 3.1 SP4
    >> BOXI 3.1. Mobile Server SP4 ( First I was not aware of this product - be sure to install SP4 for this component as well!)
    Having that you find MobileBIService.war within the folder <installation folder>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\java\applications. Copying this war file to Tomcat's webapps folder should automatically result in the deployment of the corresponding Web application.
    One additional remark: I could not open the MobileBIService web application via my browser, i.e. calling the URL http://<server name>:<port number>/MobileBIService/ lead to an error. I ignored this because I guess the web application serves only as a kind of middleware between the app and the "classic" BOXI server.
    After deploying the WAR you have a folder <installation folder>\Business Objects\Tocat55\webapps\MobileBIService where you can find the mobi.properties file in subfolder WEB-INF. I let the properties file unchanged, i.e. the only category is "Mobile".
    The idea of the categories is, that all Web Intelligence files which are "tagged" with this category can be downloaded/displayed in the iPad app. All other WebI reports are not accessible via iPad.
    On iPad I specified <server name>:<port number> as "Server URL", i.e. I did enter nor "http://"neither the name of the web application (MobileBIService), just server name and port number! I specified the "CMS Name" together with the port number (normally 6400), i.e <CMS name>:<port number>.
    And then it works...
    ...finally!

  • What is the differences between the account assignment category of E and M?

    Hi, I have a question about account assignment category.I hope someone give me the answer , and I would appreciate it.
        as you know, there are so many account assignment categories (e.g. A:asset,K:cost center)in sap customizing,when we want to purchase asset, we will input A to the field of account assignment category in purchase order.
         When will we input E or M in purchase order? What will it imply when we input E or M in purchase order? What is the differences between the account assignment category of E and M?

  • What is the difference between the passcode on my iPhone 5 and a password?  I am locked out of my phone.

    What is the difference between the passcode on my iPhone 5 and a password?  I am locked out of my phone.

    Not entirely sure what you are asking, but a passcode to unlock an iOS device is normally 4 digits long (so is a 4 digit code), though you can make it alphanumeric and longer (so effectively becomes a password).
    If you don't know the passcode to unlock your phone or it's showing the disabled screen then there are instructions on this page for how to reset a device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 - you should then be able to restore/resync your content to it.

  • How to measure time difference between zero crossing of a sine wave and rise time of a pulse on a same graph?

    I have a 50Hz sine wave and a pulse signal on a same graph. The phase difference between two is between 0-90 degrees.
    Now I need to calculate the time difference between (when the sine wave crosses zero volts) and (when the pulse rises). The frequency will stay approximately same for both signals.
    The application is for a three phase generator. In simple words, when the time difference between the zero-crossing of sine wave and the pulse rises increases, that means that the load on the generator has increases.
    I am a beginner user of LabView (version 9, 2009), maybe it is a very simple problem but I've been pulling my hair out for the last few days and coudln't figure anything out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using DAQ USB-6008 to measure these voltages and pulse from the generator and a sensor
    I have attached a jpg (a graph that i just made with excel to explain). The time 't' is what I am trying to measure

    Solved!

    Hi
    Thanks for the code but I'm afraid it won't work. Like you said the probability of choosing a value that is on both graphs may not happen. This is something that I would like the code to do automatically.
    But I did use the previous code posted and made some modifications to it and it seems to work perfectly. Now the next thing is to be able to get just that one value that tells you the first time difference.
    Here is what I get using that code.
    As you can see from the t Values. I only need the one that is highlighted. If there is a way to filter out the rest it would be great.
    I was thinking of a while loop and as soon as the value is higher than 3E-5 it would store the number and stop the loop, but I'm not too familiar with arrays in labview.
    Here is the the code modified.
    As you can see, it wasn't that big of a modification and it still is your code.
    I will keep trying.
    Thanks for the help

  • Differences between Oracle Forms 11.1.1.6  and 11.1.2

    Hello !
    Which version should I choose 11.1.2 or 11.1.1.6
    11.1.2 must me the latest one aka 11gR2
    11.1.1.6 must be 11gR1 PS5
    Am i right ?
    but in the forms home page it seems that the 11.1.1.6 is the latest version ??
    Oracle Forms 11.1.1.6 Released
    The latest version of Oracle Forms (11.1.1.6) has been released.

    Oracle Forms 11g Release 2 has been released. Read about the new features.
    Oct-2011
    I suppose that in a MiddleWare stack : SOA suite + BI publisher + Forms, the 11.1.1.6 (11gR1 PS5) is the best choice.
    Can somebody explain me the differences between Oracle Forms 11.1.1.6 and 11.1.2 ?
    Thanks

    Additional information about new features and changes can be found in the product documentation for 11gR2, which is here:

    One important thing to note is that FMw 11.1.2 (11gR2) does not include Portal or Discover. So if you need either or both of these you will need to stick with 11.1.1.Hi Michael,
    One of the features which is very very important in my point of view is
    Reduced Installation Footprint
    In order to reduce the resource requirements on development machines, you can perform an
    installation specifically tailored for development. This will limit the number of software products
    and servers installed on the machine whilst still allowing a developer to build, run and test their
    Forms application.
    If this feature is only available for the 11.1.2 release then the choice is made !
    Thanks !
    Jean-Yves
    ps : and we don't use any portal or discoverer :-)

  • Differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform

    Hello,
    J would like to know if there are some differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform.
    I know that there are some differences on Oracle 8i Parallel Server and i know that some products are not include like precompiler (Mod*Ada, Pro*FORTRAN) on a Linux Platform.
    Thank you.

    We have installed Oracle 8i on Solaris 8 and it had a great performance, of course that the hardware and licence invested here was costed my the office where i work. Personaly i'd installed linux reh hat 8 and oracle 8i, imagine that, it could be implemented by any individual that has the time to do so.
    By buyinng from a company that has a good background you could be sure that you will have support.
    Bottom line, if you have the $ to buy great hardware go for a unix platform. But if you don't a Red Hat Linux Server Licence with a 1 year sopport and Oracle data base is about 3500Dls.
