Does FCPX support 60p?

Hi Tom,
I'm using a Sony HDR-CX130 and shooting in 60p for best quality (and hopefully best for FCP editing).
I downloaded trial version of ClipWrap to enable usage of the MTS files. Your forum discussion headed me in the direction of ClipWarp by the way. My question is which Output Format to use. By the way (and I realize how tedious and time consuming it might be to repeat or paste a link to the info) it would be so very helpful to us new to many of these things to include details of how to use the recommended item. I am guessing that you have ascertained that the "Use ClipWrap" alone can be a wee bit frustrating. Ok, as to the question, I find these available options for output format along with the file size for 1 minute that the trial version will process:
     Rewrap (don't alter video samples)         60.5 MB
     Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC)           427.2 MB
     Apple ProRes 422                               612.9 MB
     Apple ProRes 422 HQ                         915.9 MB
     DVCProHD                                            489 MB
     DV                                                     128.9 MB
     HDV                                                   113.3 MB
All generated an .mov file.
I've eliminated the last 3 as they seem to distort the aspect ratio (and resultant image squishing the side making the image taller and thinner than actual.
I thought I read previous postings from you that indicated one only need to Rewrap. That made the first choice appear to be the appropriate one. When viewing the .mov file with Quicktime, the audio was as expected but the video image lagged, dragged, stuttered, froze while the audio continued as expected. Yes, it is an antique by today's standards - I am using an old G5 and waiting for Apple to come out with a Mac Pro that has a thunderbolt connection but I thought that info might help the diagnosis. In addition, this file entered into FCP brings the machine to its knees as well producing the spinning beachball of death.
The choices 2-4 above generated a Quicktime file that worked like a charm. I have not attempted to import into FCP as I am thinking I could get the answer to my question more accurately from here rather than a lengthy trial and error session that might also include something I am overlooking - not a pretty site several months down the road.
Ok, which Output Format should I use when I want the following in order of importance?:
     No loss in quality (that is the reason for HD in the first place)
     Ease of use with FCP
     Fastest when considering editing, final encoding, burning, etc. in FCP and DVD Studio Pro
     Speed with which ClipWrap does its thing.
     Some consideration of disk space but this is very low in the list. Disk space is cheap and I don't mind adding drives. I am planning a large raid storage purchase in the near future that will communicate using thunderbolt.
Thanks for all your help - you are the best.

Does FCPX support .exr files?

Does FCPX support .exr files?

Industrial Light pioneers this codec; HDR (high dynamic range) file. I'm not sure FCPX accepts it natively, so you may need to convert it to Apple ProRes first. What camera are you using that records exr? Also see link below:

Does FCPX support import/editing/export of 1080/60p?

I have a Panasonic HDC-HS900 that shoots 1080/60p. I know it's not part of the AVCHD standard, but I am hoping that FCPX will support this video.

I have the Panasonic TM700 and it will not import these files. Your best bet is converting them to Apple Proress LQ with Clipwrap

Does FCPX support AVCHD-lite? confusing info ...

AVCHD with 720p isn't explicitly listed, although on the Supported Cams List, I read devices using this format.
anyone any insight?

This is not correct. iMovie 11 'supports' AVCHD Lite only in the sense that it will convert AVCHD Lite streams to (much bulkier) Apple's AIC streams. There is no native support for AVCHD Lite in iMovie 11. iMovie 11 does support a number of other H.264 codecs natively, but this does not automatically mean support for AVCHD Lite.

Does fcpx support panasonic lumixG5?

The title says it. I see from the list over supported cameras that g3 is listen as supported, but I wonder if annonse kones if the lumix g5 is supported. Looks like a good camera for my use, but it's a dealbreaker for me that I can import the film I capture straight into fcpx without any hassle.

Sure looks like it will be more than fine. Lots of camera/camcorders aren't listed, though they work fine.

Does FCPX support 1080p?

I have a Canon HF G10 that is set to shoot in recording mode MXP with a fram rate of 60i. When i import the video into FCPX i see 1920 x 1080 | 29.97 fps 1080i HD under the info tab for each clip. How do i get it to 1080p?

due to its inherent blurriness, interlaced feels, esp. on fast (horizontal) subjects, better.
for the price of a resolution loss.
you can accomplish a 'better' smoothness when following basic rules of cinematography, using a slow shutter-speed - which results in 'natural' motion-blurr.- for most situations, that means with the aid of ND-filters.-
but …
if you like to use the material for adding effects, esp. tools like Optical Flow, plugins as Twixtor, short shutter speed is needed, therefor 'better'.-
nicolefromgambrills wrote:

avoid that.
or, stabilize it, manually, attaching weights to cam, fly-pods, in-cam-features.-
esp. any vertical movements create odd effects by using interlace.
the (in)famous 'movie look' every video-cam hobbyist is panting for is based NOT upon frame-rate, but upon achievable slow shutter-speeds. and 24fps would allow down to 1/48th - which gives wonderful blurry pics.-
on the other hand, in context with Jackson's Hobbit in HFR, it was noticed that a younger audience prefer the blurry-free, but smooth 'electronic' look.- different viewing habits.
you're using a beast of a cam - I assume, the correlations of iso / f-stop / sec is familiar to you

How does FCPX handle audio?

Still working on getting audio exported to an AAF, and having problem doing this. So I need help understanding how FCPX is handling my audio.
When it's on the timeline, is it being conformed to the frame rate of the video?
When audio is exported, does FCPX force it to conform to the video frame rate in the project settings, audio properties, or both? Or does it allow the audio to export at whatever rate the original media is at?
I export an XML from FCPX, then open that with X2Pro and it makes an AAF file, but a report tells me that "Conform rates are not supported. The Conform rate at 01:04:49.23 has been ignored." So when I go to that timecode, all I see is video at 24p and a detached audio piece at 23.98. Why are these different? How would I fix?

FINALLY! Thank you God, this issue is resolved. Here's what I learned and had to do in case anyone else may be wrestling with this issue.
Apparently, FCPX handles audio like this:
• Adjusts varying frame rates to match the project property, e.g. if you drop footage that is 24, 30, and 60 all on a 24p timeline, FCPX makes them fit into 24p, it does not tell you or show you this, it just does it automatically
• It may handle detached audio a little differently. For instance, I had a 24p timeline, and there were 39 detached audio clips that were 23.98 because they were not attached to any video, so I had to reimport and sync, see the workaround below.
The X2Pro, program to convert FCPXML to AAF, spits out a report showing where all the conform errors were, 39 total, but still required calculating where exactly it was because it didn't identify precisely by frames. Once the offending detached audio clip was located, I then Expanded the Audio Components to see both the original and synchronized audio. Next I had to go find the external audio that had been synced, then do a replace edit on the old synchronized clip. This made the audio's video frame rate 24 and took away the conform errors! Then I had to sync up the new detached audio clip manually with the video clips above it.
Also, to get out to an AAF with X2Pro, it does not support retiming, so I had to strip out 22 instances of retiming.
Whew, glad that's all over! Hopefully this AAF will be pristine for my audio post supervisor to bring into ProTools!
Thank you all for your help and input along the way!

What can I do in Adobe that I can't in FCPX? + Why does FCPX have a bad reputation

Somewhere else, I was told that disgruntled Apple users where going to Adobe and leaving FCPX
Why is this?
What can be done in the Adobe suite of programs that isn't handled well in FCPX?
Is FCPX an all in one solution?
Does it allow me to do everything that can be done in After Effects for example? (I ask without actually knowing what After Effects is for - I've just heard it mentioned looadds)
Why does FCPX have a bad reputation?
I've read that it's not backwards compatible with previous version
That *****! But... doesn't effect me as I'm coming in as a new user
Thanks

Different editors have different needs, and while FCP X offers some really innovative features it lacks other things that some editors need in order to be competitive/get work in their environment. It is not just what you can actually edit (read: tell a story) with a piece of software but also about format support, workflows, collaboration to name just a few.
FCP X is an editor with a few effects built in, in addition to which you can get Compressor for output and Motion for VFX. Adobe actually offers a whole suite of products that range from editing to VFX, from color grading to Blu-Ray authoring.

FCP X is not an all-in-one solution. As I said above it is an editor with a few built-in effects and titles.
After Effects is for visual effects, green screen .... stuff like that. It is quite powerful but does not actually have anything to do with editing itself (that is Premiere)

Because when it was released many features that editors were relying on/accustomed to were missing (XML support to name only one at random) which caused many to switch to Adobe or Avid. That fact that some of these features were added back in subsequent updates didn't really seem to repair the damage.
Since you are a new user get the trial version and give it a go. You will need a fast machine with lots of RAM and fast external storage.

FCPX Support for Sony Z5

Does anyone know if FCPX supports import from Sony Z5?

Officially supported cameras are listed here:
http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/cameras/en/index.html
I don't see the Z5 listed, but that doesn't mean that it won't work, only that Apple hasn't tested it yet. Sony has a plugin for FCP 6; I don't know if that would be necessary for FCP X or not. Someone else here can probably confirm.

Does this support Iphone(3G) from Sprint?

I have a iphone from sprint and I have been watching video on youtube all the time. But yesterday I could not watch video anymore because youtube does not support my cell phone device anymore?
So, my question is does this flash player support my iphone from sprint?
what shall I do to watch video on youtube just like before?

FCPX doesn't import AVCHD files from my Panasonic GH-2, even though importing works perfectly into iMovie. So just because camera X imports natively into iMovie, it isn't certain it will import natively into FCPX.
iMovie archives will always import because the AVCHD has already been converted to ProRes on import.
In FCPX the AVCHD files from say a GH-2 can be edited natively if you don't want to re-render into ProRes, but to date I can't import them to test this.

Does the later 2009 MacBook support the Apple DVI to Video Adapter (s-video). I want to connect it to an old tv which does not support HDMI. Any suggestions?

I have a late 2009 MacBook which I want to connect to an old LG tv. The tv does not support HDMI it only has the (red, while, and yellow) ports. Sorry I dunno the exact name for it.
So I was thinking of using the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter (s-video), link below...
http://store.apple.com/Catalog/dk/Images/M9319_screen.jpg
But I'm afraid that the MacBook might not support the adapter.
Can anyone give me a solution for this? Is there an alternative way of doing this? I'm kinda new to apple display adapters.

The Late 2009 model 6,1 has a Mini DisplayPort not the Mini-DVI. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
Composite is the name for the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs. If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. You’ll have to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to and a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
Only the Yellow plug or the S-Video plug for video will work. For sound you'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

IE11/Win 8.1 error 'Your client does not support opening this list in windows explorer'

I hoping someone might be able to help with this frustrating issue.
I work on a project where we are using various versions of on-line SharePoint (2007/O365). In order to quickly drag and drop folders we need to often open the document libraries by using the 'open in windows explorer view'.
Using the same device, on occassion this works. But often it gives a rather unhelpful message 'Your client does not support opening this list in Windows Explorer'.
I've searched for this issue over the net and confirm that the sites are added to the 'trusted' sites area and that the 'remember you credientials' is checked on logging in.However, the searches do not seem to apply to IE11/Win8.1 or on-line version of sharepoint
(the suggested hot fix is not suitable)
Only this morning, using the same device I was able, for a short while to open in explorer view, and then for no apparent reason, it began to display the error message. I had changed nothing regarding settings or even closed the browser.
Do you have any support/ideas/fixes on how to resolve this.
Many thanks
val

Hi Val,
sometimes an answer can be found on the internet by typing the error message from your computer into your favourite search engine.
eg.

follow the directions given above.... you need to add the domains to your Intranet sites list, not the Trusted sites list.
Perhaps you already have it mapped to your intranet zone....in which case make sure that you have unchecked "Enable Enhance Protected Mode" on the Intranet zone dialog in Internet Options.
If this is happening 'randomly' on client machines, then users are probably changing their internet security settings in Internet Options. Ensure they are accepting the default.... Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default".
Consult with your system administrators to find out if they are applying a custom security template for the Intranet zone... It may be removing the sharepoint domains from the client Intranet zone's domains lists.

Hello i am using TimeMachine to back-up entire Mac image (data + system) on an usb-local drive. I would like (on top of it) add a specific plan to back up some files on a remote network drive. Does TimeMachine support multiple back-up plans ? How ?

Time Machine is capable of backing up to multiple locations, and can be used to back up to both a local hard drive and a networked drive (provided that that drive is in or connected to a Time Capsule or another Mac that is sharing it over the network). The catch, though, is that you can't specify different things to back up to different destinations. Whatever you exclude from Time Machine backups is excluded from ALL backups, and whatever is included is included on all.
So, get a large enough drive that you can back up everything you want in all locations, or use something else for maintaining the network backup.
More information on these topics can be found here:
How do I set up Time Machine to a shared drive on another Mac?
How do I set up Time Machine to a Time Capsule or Airport Extreme?

AS I FOUND OUT LATE, LION DOES NOT SUPPORT ROSETTA, WHICH SUPPORTS QUICKEN AND CLASSIC AOL, AND MANY OTHER APPS. CAN I TAKE LION AWAY AND GO BACK TO SNOW LEOPARD?

I found out after the install of LION, that it does not support Rosetta, which runs Quicken and the classic AOL software and a myriad of other apps.
Can I go back to Snow Leopard? Is there a way to retrieve my thousands of saved E mails, which are saved on my Mac?
I still see the filing cabinet with my screen name but cannot get them to open.
Please help! Lion may roar, but the fact it does not support apps like quicken means it purrs.

I had the Apple store wiped out my hard drive and I restore my last hard drive downloard by first placing Snow leopard DVD in the DVD drive and holding "C" when turning on the machine then I follow the instructions. I am back on snow leopard and trying out two finance software to replace Quicken for mac 2007. I am trialing Quicken essentials and ibank. They are both compatable with LION. So when I am ready will download Lion again. Also, Micorsoft Office needs to be 2011 version for it to work on Lion
