Do you have experience with FCE on a mac mini?

Just looking for any comments on experience using a mini for FCE and importing AVCHD files.
I've got a Mini that I maxed out the ram and dropped in a 7200 rpm drive. I also have an external drive (usb) for my movie files - will go with a firewire drive soon. My camera is a Canon HG10. I'm only doing small videos so budget is my biggest concern.
I've been using the old iMovie HD (the quality of import/conversion when I tried iMovie08 is really bad - and don't like using it anyways.) I found that 4Media Video Converter has done the best conversions so far (Voltiac dies if the file is too big). But would like better quality - would FCE handle that on this system?
Thanks in advance,
Neil

Hello, I think you're out of luck with the toolbar, but not on 10.9 to check right now, you can change the minimum font size used in Safari Prefereces for web pages.
Perhaps Zoom will work for you...

  • Do you have 256 MB Intel core due mac mini?

    Hello Users
    I checked "about this Mac" after installed OS X cd. I could not believe what I'm seeing the hareware overview as follows:
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Name: Mac mini
    Machine Model: Macmini1,1
    CPU Type: Intel Core Duo
    Number Of Cores: 2
    CPU Speed: 1.66 GHz
    L2 Cache (shared): 2 MB
    Memory: 256 MB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    The Memory does recognize just 256 MB, not 512 MB.
    Please tell me any reason of this problem and solution if you have. Of course this mac mini is very very new one.
    Intel core due mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I would call AppleCare Support in your area. Clearly, your RAM is not being recognized correctly. Since your computer is new, Apple may need to service it and replace the RAM. Apple buys components, like RAM and the hard drive, on the open market and the RAM you have could be from one of several different vendors. It's possible that the chip you have is defective.

  • Will You Help me with my Day Old Mac Mini?

    As I was setting up mac mini and connecting to trackpad, I turned the mac mini off so i could set it up later because i had companny coming.  Then when I turned it on, all the personal and acoount, user information was skipped so when I went to settings to enter that it said I needed a password which I never set up.  Now I cannot use my newly bought mac mini i bought earlier today.
    Please Help Me, I do not know what to do.  I am thinking about taking it back to apple.
    ALso another Question
    CAn you return a mac mini that has been pirchased within a few days to get a new fresh one to start over on?

    I'm sure Apple will help you on this, but try booting it up holding CMD + r keys to get the Rstore options.

  • Do you have experience with Adobe Revel moving files from an iMac to the "cloud"?

    Over the past few months, Adobe has been moving photo files from personal MACs into their cloud space (Adobe Revel).  They have just hit my computer this weekend.  Is there a way using the Apple operating system to find out the names of the files Adobe moved?

    I can tell you with certainty that for documents of any kind "GoodReader" is an excellent app. It will let you connect to your mac via wi-fi. It mounts it as an external drive and you can create folders and drag files to the folders.
    I haven't tried dragging any movies or music but there wouldn't be anything to stop you from doing so. There is also a file management component to the app that lets you choose an "Open with ... " type of dialog and open a file with pages if it is a .doc file, or GoodReader can open pdf, doc, xls and many other doc types.
    Very happy with this .99 cent app. I agree with the other question though. If I rip a dvd, I use handbrake to convert to mp4 and add to my iTunes - then sync as per normal.

  • Does anyone have experience with using a Canon Vixia HF M52 Camcorder with Final Cut Express?

    I'm looking to purchase a new camcorder that is compatible with my Mac OS X (10.6.8) that will work well with Final Cut Express 4.0.1  I have downloaded the camcorder support info from Final Cut Express that list many capital camcorders.  I've used Sony tape based camcorders in the past.  I'm looking for High Definition.  I can stick with a tape based camcorder, but thought I would look at the Canon Vixia HF M52 as an alternative, which is listed as compatible.  I would like to download directly from the camera to FCE.  I film in the wilderness, like having an optical zoom of 20 or greater (yes, I use a small tripod). Does anyone have experience with the Canon Vixia?  And if not, but you really like another camcorder that you can recommend, what is it?

    The Vixia HF M52 is an AVCHD camcorder and should work perfectly fine with Final Cut Express 4 (4.0.1).
    The published "camcorder support list" has never been up to date and I would not take it to be a definitive list of compatible camcorders.
    One note, however, the Vixia HF M52 supports a number of different shooting modes.  I suggest sticking with the AVCHD 1920 x 1080i / 60 fps mode for use with FCE.   FCE does not support progressive modes except in 720p25/30 (which the M52 does not seem to shoot anyway); nor does FCE support any 24 fps modes.

    As much as I hate to admit it, YOU ARE RIGHT!
    I will tread lightly on this project.

  • Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
    http://www.adobe.com
    Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
    Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

  • Does anyone have experience with unzipping a password-encrypted ZipFile??

    Does anyone have experience with unzipping a password-encrypted ZipFile??
    My Zip Class works fine with every unencrypted file, but when I try to open an encrypted one, i get an error Message ("Encrypted ZIP entry not supported")
    Is ist impossible to unzip encrypted ZIPs???

    I've searched around a little bit and THIS IS THE SOLUTION!
    There is a (beta)version of winzip8 that uses a cli (command line interface)
    So, all you have to do is to implement a Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) in your java program to call winzip8 and pass the zipfile path and the password.
    Here's the URL: http://www.winzip.com/wzcline.htm

  • Does anyone have experience with migrating applications from iAS6.0 SP2 to SP3? Did it go smoothly or are there problems to be expected?

     

    Hi,
    I haven't. But, there are lots of changes from each service packs,
    henceforth you may have to stick to what the documentation says to avoid
    the errors that shoots up. Again, the errors depends upon how you have
    coded your application. Please let me know if you have encountered any
    errors and the messages for me to help you.
    Regards

  • Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.

    Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.

    My 2010 Mac Pro does have built in bluetooth but I use the IOGear GBU421 instead.  That's because the built in bluetooth on the mac pro suck$ if you are more than about 3 feet from the machine.
    See the descussion: Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
    It works but you need to get used to its "quirks".  If you sleep your machine like I do the dongle is off because there is no USB power when sleeping for the dongle.  So you need some wired USB device to wake the machine.  In my case I use my wired keyboard.
    When waking up it doesn't always become paired immediately (maybe 30% of the time).  Then you need to flip the mouse switch to get it active.  Interesting enough I don't have that problem with the trackpad.
    Most of the time, in the rear occasions I reboot my machine, the mouse is ready to go.
    Once you get used to the "quirks" it's no big deal.  Hey, for about $9 what do you want?
    By the way I also always keep a wired mouse attached as a backup.

    Anyone have experience with ESET Cybersecurity?  If yes, good, not so good, or forget it?

    Since it is AV software and there are no virus on the Mac, I suggest you forget it.

  • Anyone have experience with SmartCurve, especially in PSE3?

    In a discussion captioned PSE 4.0 vs 5.0 (current last message 43, Oct 3, 2006)there is the exchange below. I decided to start a new thread because the old one had gone elsewhere.
    Two questions: Does anyone have experience with SmartCurve? And does it care about version? I have PSE3. However, the software does not specify but was updated 9/11/06 and thus is for PSE4 at least.

    Dean, could you please point me to those "Curves" Plug-ins that work with PSE 4 (and that will hopefully also work with PSE V5)?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Is this what you are looking for:

    Juergen

    Jack,
    You assumed correctly. Grant's Curve tool can only access the composite RGB channel. His tool does have the advantage of using an adjustment layer mask...so you can mask out parts you don't want adjusted by the curve. The advantage of using a mask vs a duplicate layer and eraser is that with a mask you never destroy pixils...just hide them...so if you make a mistake it can save a lot of time and frustration. On the negative side, you won't be able to reopen the curves adjustment layer once okayed...but you can still edit the mask.
    BTW, Grant's tool sets includes several tools so it's a worthwhile download. However, if you have Hidden Elements installed, I don't know if you'd get anything extra/different. BTW, there's a freeware Hidden Elements set on the Adobe Exchange which might also be worth looking at. I'm not sure what all is packed in that set...and I'm not sure where they've got it stashed...perhaps Actions or maybe Plugins.

  • Does anyone have experience with Virgin or Boost Mobile?

    I have been with verizon for a long time...I have 4 lines with this service. I have since bought several phones off of craigslist or ebay just so I wouldn't have to be subjected to the tier plan. We use so much data it's crazy. I want the new Samsung Galaxy S4 so bad!!! Grrr! I've even thought about switching to Virgin Mobile or Boost Mobile. We pay so much for our phones now and I know of one guy who has boost mobile and loves it. Does anyone have experience with these providers?

    BC's CRM is part of the package, Salesforce is of course more dedicated. That pretty much sum's up these sorts of use cases.

  • HT3180 In the middle of the updating, iTV was unplugged. Now it does not work at all. Do you have experience, what to do now?

    In the middle of the updating, iTV was unplugged. Now it does not work at all. Do you have experience, what to do now?

    Ouch.  I am afriad the news is not good.  If there is no longer a working firmware instance on ATV there is nothing you can do.  That's why it has that message about not unplugging it during the update.
    Nothing happens when you plug it in?

  • Does anyone have experience with error 504 when trying to download a podcast?

    Does anyone have experience with error 504 when trying to download a podcast?  I've been a subscriber for two years without issue and in the last two days can't download this particular podcast (everything else is working fine - music, other podcasts, etc)

    The album was released on the 27th March this year, so the error occurred almost immediately after it was supposedly available.
    In the manage pre-orders section of my account, it says AVAILABLE but does not give me any choice over whether to download it, just to cancel it. Is this normal?
    iTunes customer services reset my password and tried to download the album themselves, but they also got the 5002 error, so it's been passed off to the engineers. How long does that usually take?
    If anyone has any other suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
