Does a Gbit ethernet disk work with FCE

I am new to video editing and now looking for an external harddisk.
What I have read here a Firewire drive is better than USB-2.
I could not find any information if FCE 4 will work with a network drive, such as the LaCie Ethernet Disk 500GB - with Gigabit Ethernet,
In theory the Gbit connection is faster than FW or USB2.
Anyone experience?
thanks, 1000Zen

Network Attached Storage drives (NAS) are better suited to non-realtime file-sharing systems.
If you really, really want to head down this path then things get much more tricky (assuming you have more than one network device, i.e. not NAS directly connected to your MAC via ethernet cable) if you wish to record/play directly to NAS as the network traffic needs to properly prioritised and configured to prevent web browsers, email, software downloads, itunes, etc from interfering.
Not to mention networks are far more painful to diagnose technical issues, particularly at the protocol levels.
As Tom says go with Firewire, much less work is required and much easier to diagnose issues.
My $1.45 worth.

Is there a way to import clips from AVCHD folders I have copied from my camcorder to my hard disk? With FCE I could import these clips using log and transfer.

In FCP-X is there a way to import AVCHD clips from an AVCHD file folder I have copied from my Canon hard disk camcorder to my iMac hard disk? With FCE I used log and transfer with no problem; but, FCP-X doesn't import them. It will import AIC files that have been created in FCE from the original AVCHD files. If FCP-X will not import these files directly from the copied AVCHD folder, is there a workaround using other software to convert the files? For example, Compressor? (Canon does not provide any AVCHD conversion software for OSX).

Hi jphil and Tom
I have exactly the same problem but the answer you (Tom) provided did not help in my case. Trying to "Import ->From Camera" and pointing to the AVCHD folder yields the error message: "(Folder) contains unsupported files or has invalid directory structure."
Folder structure is
AVCHD
     BDMV
          CLIPINF
               .CPI files
          Index.bdm
          Movieobj.bdm
          PLAYLIST
               .MPL file
          STREAM
               .MTS files
AVF_INFO
     3 files (.bnp, .inp, .int)
DCIM
     101MSDCF
          empty
     MODELCFG.IND (file)
My question is: Is that not a "camera archive" of the type you talked about in the thread? Is it on principle not possible to import the files in that format/directory structure? If not, since the shots were not taken by myself, what should I ask the guy who shot the movies to give me to be able to work with them in FC?
I work with a brand new Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 (still very clumsy with it) on an iMac 11,3 with MacOS 10.6.8.
I downloaded the latest version of codec updates from the Apple support site but no difference.
Thank you in advance

A Camera That Works With FCE?

I just got a JVC and its kinda a joke. I have to go through like 20 steps to get my video files off my Hard Drive Camera and into a format editable on FCE.
Does anyone have a nice camera, around $1,500 or so that has good quality and works well the Apple computers and FCE?
Thanks again.

I have the Sony HDR-SR8 camera that works with FCE. Tried it last night. Was able to import video from the camera. Hooked the camera up through the USB port and the camera showed up as an ICON on the desktop. In FCE I was able to import the clips. Pretty cool. Haven't done any editing yet.
Sony has come out with newer models than mine and the picture quality should be fantastic.

Camcorder who work with FCE

Hello
I plan to buy a camcorder. According the support page of apple only AVCHD Cameras work with FCE.
I tend to buy a Canon camera. Does someone know if for instance a LEGRIA camera work with FCE ?
Please let me know what cameras work with FCE. Many thanks.

The Canon Legria HF-R, HF-M and HF-S series camcorders are AVCHD. The Legria HV40 is HDV. All of them will work with FCE.
(Note: the Legria standard definition FS series will not work with FCE, although their videos may be converted to a format that will work with FCE.)

Canon Vixia hf20 work with FCE

Dose anyone know if the Canon VIXIA HX20 works with FCE it's AVCHD but no firewire port only usb

Yes it does. There are posts here almost daily about this. You won't use the 'Capture' feature like with FireWire cams, instead you'll use the "Log and Transfer" feature...plenty of posts here about that.

How does Creative Cloud from teams work with staff who work in two locations i.e. in the office and home?

There is no difference please be aware that each login is provided with two activations however. If you wish to have a computer at both work and home activated though that is perfectly fine as long as your employer is ok with using company software at home.

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine

Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine.
installed new internal disk first with fresh 10.7.3 Lion software. Also upgrade ram to 4GB. Work great, super fast.
BUT.... my WD 1TB firewire400 external disks no longer work with the Lion enabled machine now.
FURTHER... I read somewhere that WD is problematic with Lion but Seagate was not... so I went and bought a new 3TB Seagate GoFlex.
When it didnt work properly either, I patiently searched and found a software/firward upgrade and applied.
I re-partitioned disk to extened/journaled standard, etc.
Then assigned the particition to Time Machine. Drive turned the blue/grey color, so I thought it would work.
But, it has now been in "preparing" mode in Time Machine for HOURS....
What is up Apple? So dissappointed. Ive read these type of problems are notorious with Lion and I wish I never upgraded.
Are you trying to make issues with External disks, to drive people to iCloud? That trick ont work in me. I will not reward bad behaviour Apple.
Please provide a fix... I wasted hours/days screwing around with this, instead of using the Mac for what its intended!

Solved by Pondini, on another thread I opened...
Answer:
Sounds like either:
A directory problem on your internal HD. Verify your internal HD, and Repair any other volumes being backed-up per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Something in OSX may be damaged. You've tried the "combo," so a fresh copy of OSX (that won't disturb anything else) would be worth a try (and you don't need a tech for that). See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX.

Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - Aways saying Autofill not available for this page even on pages I have used it before FF4 upgrade

Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - It aways gives the message "Autofill not available for this page". This is happening on pages I have used Autofill on before upgrading to FF4 from Firefox 3.5.x

i did not see a solution posted - I tired what I read. Going back to an old version may solve the problem but it is a stupid solution so I have yet to do that.
I am on version 4 and autofil this does not work :

Uninstall version 5, then Google "google toolbar version 4", follow the link to FileHippo.com, and download and install the last version 4. When you reinstall it, make sure you turn off the option to perform automatic updates.

Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

Mac Mini 10.4 install disk work with a macbook?

Hello All,
Will my Mac Mini 10.4 install disk work with a Macbook? I believe the model is either a MB061LL/A or MB062LL/A.
Thank You in advance!

Yes, and possibly the system that disc can install is not Intel compatible. It would have to be a late 2006 model, which was the start of the Intel series of Minis.

Thanks!

It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.
