Does final cut express have the functionality like macromedia flash 8?

does final cut express have the functionality like macromedia flash 8? I'm looking to compile my movie for easy viewing on the internet

In the interest of not appearing like a total idiot
The link of my 3-minute video of Native American Indian dancing (above) has been changed to: http://www.goliveusa.com/MoviesFlv/PowWow.html
where it should remain for at least the next two years.
Part of this change has to do with a discontent with .Mac, thought that is certainly a topic for another forum.
Since back here at this thread, and considering the initial forum topic, I'd guess it would be appropriate to ask: "What is meant by the term: functionality?"
FCE is a a video editing program. Flash 8 is graphic animation program.
You can incorporate video into Flash 8 and do extra animation with it.

    Yes, it does. It has a number of filters to help do this.

  • Does Final Cut Express 4 Read Clips From an External NAS Drive?

    After upgrading from iMovie 08 to 09 I have found out through these pages that iMovie no longer supports reading clips from and writing them to my external wireless drive (via the Events library). The question for this forum - does Final Cut Express 4 have the same issue?
    Just to anticipate a couple of points - I do not intend to use my external hard drive for 'in line' editing, it is merely a repository for excess clips that my hard drive cannot accommodate. I understand this kind of arrangement is slower than Firewire 800 but it is what I have and I want it to work.

    FCE has nothing to do with how you archive your media as long as it's not used for playback within the application. The only issue might be how the drive is formatted. For large media files it really needs to be formatted in Mac OS Extended.

  • Does Final Cut Express support ProRes 1080p?

    Does Final Cut Express support ProRes 1080p?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    ProRes codecs was introduced with Final Cut Studio 2.
    You can't create a ProRes sequence in FCE, but if you've installed the +Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder 1.0 for Mac+ you will be able to import ProRes footage, but rendering or conversion will be needed.

  • Final Cut Express, suddenly the application doesn't let me save project

    Final Cut Express, suddenly the application doesn't let me save project

    Do you have available space on the disk drive you are storing on?
    When FCE begins to act in unexpected ways, the usual first step is to delete the FCE preferences:
    Final Cut Express: Troubleshooting Basics - Apple Support
    The easiest way to do this is to download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free):
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Your preference will be reset to default the next time you launch FCE.

  • Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

    Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

    Absolutely.  Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion).  Make sure you check the Self-Contained box.  The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added.  Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

  • Does Final Cut Express work on the iMac G5?

    I just tried to put Final Cut Pro on a G5 iMac, but the error came up that it is missing a AGP card. Apparently the new iMac have an upgraded card that doesnt work wih the older software.
    Does anyone know if the Final Cut Express HD work on a G5 iMac?

    For a permanent solution to stop the error message ever appearing again you can use this hack:-
    1. Right click (Control-click) on the FCE application icon (NOT the one in the dock) and select "Show Package Contents".
    2. Open the "Contents" folder and double click the "info .plist". It should open automatically in TextEdit - if it doesn't, choose TextEdit manually.
    3. Around 15 or so lines down you will see AGP. Delete it and put in PCI.
    4. Close the window and when asked if you want to save the changes, say yes.

  • Does Final Cut Express 4 work with mac mini and other questions...?

    I have a few questions I need help in answering... I would appreciate opinions on the following:
    I am about to make a purchase of a new mac. I already have a mac mini PPC, but it is too slow...
    Here is what I am thinking.
    Mac mini, 2GB mem, 160GB hard drive. Will this new mac mini work with Final Cut Express 4?
    Or should I go with the more powerful iMac?
    I like to make movies on my mac but I hate iMovie 08 so I constantly use iMovie HD 06. Should I go to Final Cut Express 4 or just stick with iMovie HD 06?

    There is no doubt that FCE 4 will run on an Intel mini - the GMA graphics processor is compatible. There is also no doubt that an iMac would give you somewhat better overall performance, though it's important perhaps to note that as complex as FCE is, it is actually a little less demanding on hardware than iMovie has traditionally been, so the difference between a mini with 2Gb RAM and a similarly equipped iMac will not be all that great in FCE, though it will become a little more noticeable if you continue to use iMovie 6.
    The main reason for the performance difference between iMovie and FCE is that in order to provide a reasonably sophisticated video editing package that will run on very basic hardware, Apple relied heavily on caching techniques, meaning that while FCE basically spools from video and relies on CPU power, iMovie constantly moves data to and from the hard drive. The mini's hard drive is a (relatively) slow device in comparison to the iMac's - thus the iMac runs iMovie rather more seamlessly. In FCE, the difference is, as said, rather less clear unless you were to go for the top-end model.
    If your budget can stretch to an iMac it makes sense to go that route simply because the extra power and overall performance (and the better graphics processor) will give you greater flexibility down the road. On the other hand, if funds are tight and you need to spend as little as reasonably possible, a mini will do fine, and is sufficient;y inexpensive that in a couple of years could be sold off and replaced without severe financial implications.
    In terms of the choice between FCE or iMovie, beware that if you haven't used FCE before, the transition is not easy, and the learning curve for it is pretty steep. That said, it has far greater power and flexibility in terms of what you can achieve with it than has ever been possible with iMovie.
    That said, for casual and home use, iMovie (version 6 at least) has plenty of power and tools for the majority of projects. iMovie 8 is, in many ways, deeply flawed for those who want that sort of power and workflow tools, being that it is designed for quick and easy creation of movies, not creative and considered productions. It has it's uses, but if you have experience with iMovie already, v8 is really not intended for you at all.
    All that said, I've used iMovie 6 on systems will a lot less power than the current Intel minis, and have found it stable and workable, so I have no doubt it would work well on any current Mac.

  • Does final cut express 4.0 work in new macbook bought in Oct 2013

    I bought Final Cut Express 4.0 in 2008 and recently I bought a new MacBook Pro 15" around Oct 2013 and updated to Mavericks 10.9. I copied all the contents and apps from the old macbook to the new one and when using the Final Cut Express, it asked me for the serial number and when I tried to add it, it says serial not valid. What can I do to be able to use my Final Cut Express? Please any suggetions?

    Three thoughts,
    1.  It is usually better to re-install pro apps (like FCE) from scratch instead of migrating them from an older Mac.  If you migrated FCE from your old Mac, this could be the reason for the hiccup with the serial number.
    2.  The serial number is very long, and it's very easy to mistype a character.  Try entering it again, being very careful typing and check the serial nubmer visually before you hit the enter key.
    3.  Keep in mind that FCE was discontinued in June 2011, even before Lion was released.  It is no longer supported and there is no guarantee it will run, or run properly, on later versions of OS X including Mavericks.   Users have had spotty success with it on Lion, Mt. Lion & Mavericks.  YMMV.
    Final Cut Pro X is the currently released & suported video editing app from Apple.   You can download, install & try it out free for 30 days.

  • Does Final Cut Express 4.0.1 work on OS 10.7.5?

    Deos Final Cut Express work on OS 10.7.5?  Upgrading to a new MacPro and Final Cut Pro X, but have unfinished project on FCE that is not opeing properly. 

    Last officailly supported OS was 10.6.8.
    There have beed mixed results with 7 but Apple does not support the marriage.
    This forum has plenty of info if you wish to search.
    My thoughts/advice are:  fix your issue and finish your Project with existing gear.
    FYI: Mavericks and FCP X 10.1 seem fine.

  • Why does Final Cut Express 4 quit automatically when I open Log and Transfer window?

         I'm using a Sony NXCAM and I am editing on a Mac OS X. The clips I have recorded are in MTS format so I understand I must use the Log and Transfer setting to import my clips. I plug the camera into my computer, go into Final Cut Express 4, turn the camera on, and then go into the Log and Transfer window. Once I open that, Final Cut quits and an error message pops up that reads, "Final Cut Express quit unexpectedly." Final Cut quits too fast for me to even click on anything in the Log and Transfer window. I really don't understand why it does this. The only thing I can think of why Final Cut is quitting is because I have over 100 clips on the camera, so maybe that is too much for Final Cut Express 4 to handle. However, I wouldn't think that would be the case. If anyone knows of anything I could do to fix this problem, then please send me a reply. I've looked around the internet to see if anyone else has had this problem, but I haven't found anything. Thank you, any responses will be greatly appreciated!

    Shooted videos directly saved to the SD memory card is no problem, the log and transfer window immediately recognizes the sd card and I was able to convert the videos. I will check later today if this were 25p, 50i or 50p footages.
    Strangely enough is that transferring the .mts files from the internal memory to the sd card (using the Mac finder, I don't know if it is possible within the camera itself) won’t help, the log and transfer window doesn't the recognizes the transferred files, strange!
    I hope that this problem will not occur using Final Cut Pro X, which I will start using soon.
    I'm curious what the exact problem will be.

  • Does final cut express support avchd lite?

    Will final cut express resolve this issue, being that most of Panasonic's point and shoot cameras use avchd lite?
    Reasons I bought this program:
    One its good for editing.
    Two it says its avchd compatible on the box.
    However this does not seem to be the case.
    definition of avchd lite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD

    You make a good point about the audio. I have a Canon SD870 and recently shot some stills and video with it at a birthday party. It takes great shots, but I was actually impressed with the video and audio, probably because I did not know what to expect. In fact, it gave me enough material to edit a little movie for the birthday boy,(he was 50!) in imovie9. The speeches came out clear and the video was very acceptable.
    But things can always be better, and that is why I want to upgrade to FCE, and buy a still camera that can shoot HD on the fly and can be used in FCE. I have been a Broadcast Sports TV cameraman for over 25 years, and I am very tired of lugging around bulky TV camera equipment. It seems a novelty to be able to shoot and edit HD on a pocket size camera.
    Thanks for you input Al, I appreciate it. I still have two outstanding questions and I apologize if you have already answered them. First, How good/bad is the video quality with HD video captured on AVCHD Lite and then converted to use in FCE? Second, where does MPEG 4 rate in all this. Thank you.

  • Does Final Cut Express makes a Powerbook slower?

    I just got Final Cut Express HD. As soon as I install it, I felt that my Powerbook G4 was getting so slow, I rebooted but still the same. Is there anything that I need to activated or deactivated?
    I have 25Gigs free, my PowerBook is a 1.35Mhz and 782MB in Ram. Before the installation my PowerBook was a jet! now it is a slower turtle. It doesn't make sense.
    Please a little help,
    Eyu Jrita

    I can't say I've noticed it. But it could actually be slowing down your system. Check your console messages; you'll notice:
    "The function CGDrawBitmap is obsolete and will be removed in a Tiger update. Unfortunately, this app [FCE], or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is therby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance."
    I've searched around this issue and can't find out that much about it. i.e. whether it really is slowing things down.
    Otherwise you specs are better than mine and I've not noticed a slow down. Do you have a lot of other apps open?

  • Does Final Cut Express Work with Canon XF300 or Kodak Zi8?

    Question... I JUST purchased Final Cut Express 4. Ihave a Cannon XF 300 and I have the XF plugin software but it doesn't to appear to have worked.
    I used the same software at work..except work computers use Final Cut Pro and it works beautifilly... How did you get your Copy of Express to recognize your MXF files... or any files that came from your Canon XF for that matter?
    While I'm on that note.. i alternatively use a Kodak Zi8 HD for vlogging and Final Cut tells me it can't recognize the files... ***?!? They're MOV files!  Isn't that a native to apple format?
    Feels like I ****** away almost 200 dollars..

    The Zi8 records to .mov files but uses an H.264 codec.   A QuickTime .mov file can be created using any one of a long list of audio and video codecs.  Just because it's a .mov file doesn't mean it's compatible with any & every app.
    The XF300 records to MPEG-2 Log GOP
    Neither can be used directly in Final Cut Express
    Both will need to be converted to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec.   I suggest using MPEG Streamclip to convert your raw video to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec in order to edit in FCE.  MPEG Streamclip is free; but you will also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Component if you do not already have it on your Mac.  ($19 from the Apple Online Store)
    An alternative would be to Log/Transfer using Final Cut Pro into QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec.  Then transfer the files to your Mac that has Final Cut Express.

  • Does Final Cut Express HD 3.5 support 30p/DVX100?

    Hey,
    Something I need to know. Will 'progressive scan' be preserved? I do not want it to interlace the video once it is imported/captured.
    Does anyone shoot 30p on the Panasonic DVX100 witih Final Cut Express HD 3.5?
