Does Final Cut Pro import 24 fps video?

Hi,
I've been working with Final Cut Express for about a year, and am thinking about upgrading. I know that Final Cut Express does not import true 24 fps video, but am wondering if Final Cut Pro does. Also, does Final Cut Pro require more hardware power than FCE? (I currently have a dual core MacBook Pro with 4 gigs of ram. Will that suffice for FCP?)
Thanks,
Vic

Yes, FCP can handle 24 (or, more commonly, 23.98), and no, it doesn't require additional hardware (though certain apps inside the suite will certainly benefit from it).

What is wrong? All the sudden.

We need info, info, info!
What version of FCP X?
Did you render? what are the project specs? do you use many compound clips? how much ram, hard drive space, how is the hard drive connected?
It looks like your mac can't keep up. Maybe the bottleneck is the hard drive, or something else.
Try exporting a master file and see if the video is ok.
Also, keep Activity Monitor open and see how much memory pressure you've got.

Does Final Cut Pro X Utilize Multiple GPUs if more than one is installed?

For example, does Final Cut Pro X utltize both GPU's to help in rendering if you went with the two ATI Radeon 5770 option in a Mac Pro? Thanks for any help!

- NO - kind of but not really - take a class - watch some basic videos on you tube...
- YES - multicam is excellent
- YES - you can switch it off - but you probably won't when you get used to it - after about 5 days
- YES - very much so in the browser where it counts
- YES... I think.
Really go watch some basic entry level FCP X vids - the answers are all there. I recommend watching the latest from 2014 on YouTube. There are plenty.

Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.

Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.
I know it works fine on my Macbook Pro, but considering getting an Air for travelling, and like to import and do some basic editing while away.
Used to have a Macbook, and FCP wouldn't load on that.
Understand the Air's limitations on disk size, but only wanting it as a travelling editor.
Thanks

"Traveling editor" could imply dedicated offlining. Shane, do you think that could work with a low rez ProRes codec?
I don't think anyone has tried to use an AirBook for FCP. Anyone bother to search?

Which versions of Final Cut Pro support HD video?

Which versions of Final Cut Pro support HD video? (Other than 6)

Uncompressed HD...that can be done with FCP 4.5 or higher. But as said, you need a capture card, no matter what version you use.
DVCPRO HD support started in FCP 4.5. P2 DVCPRO HD support started with 5.0.4. HDV support started with FCP 5.0, and is much better in FCP 5.1. XDCAM started in FCP 5.0, better in 5.1. AVCHD requires 5.1, and AVCIntra requires FCP 6.

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

You don't need to render before export.
Rendering is for playback.
If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

Does Final Cut Pro X support RAW Cinema DNG files?

I'm looking at a pro/broadcast project that I'll be shooting in RAW Cinema DNG. Does Final Cut Pro X support this format? I can shoot in ProRes, but I don't want to for this particular project.

Does Final Cut Pro X support all video files as did its prior version Final Cut Pro Studio?

Hi,
Use to have a Mac Pro and had Fina Cut Pro Studio. Now I have just got a new Macbook Pro (Lion), and have just purchased the new Final Cut Pro X from the App store. I am having problems importing 3gps files into FCP X. I never had a problem with the $1000 version of studio. Does the new FCP X have limitations on what video files are compatible with it? do I need to purchase additional plug-ins etc???

Really depends on the specific file type you want to work with. FCP X does not support every single flavor of video FCP 7 did, so it's not a huge surprise if the file you're using is not supported. That said, there's plenty of free third party tools you could use to convert it to a regular QuickTime ProRes file that FCP X would accept. For example- http://www.squared5.com/ would most likely be able to load it. Try and let us know. And if that doesn't work please provide more details about the 3gps file you're using.

Does Final Cut Pro X support TS.BUP, RM.BUP, and TS.VOB Video Files

I would like to know if I can import the named files in my question into Final Cut Pro X.
Thinking about buying it, but want to know before I do.

Thanks again Tom Wolsky. I did however download the trial version of Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate for Mac, and it worked very very well. I just discovered that it also supports three professional encoders, Apple Intermediate Codec, ProRes and DNxHD—ensuring maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer, respectively. For what it's worth, it also can convert a broad range of video formats to these three professional encoding formats easily and quickly. This means an advantage over Apple Compressor 4, which only supports conversion to videos in QuickTime format.
I only tried it because I viewed a video by Chris Pirillo (former TechTV host) and CNN tech correspondent who highgly recommend it for my issue. It's a lockergnome review. I pasted the page link at the bottom if your interested in hearing what they have to say. It's on YouTube, just type in WonderShare. Again thankyou for your time and expertise.

HT5177 Why does Final Cut Pro X tell me mpg is supported, but wont recognize it when I try to import it from my files??!!

I am trying to import an mpg file and Final Cut Pro X wont recognize the file.. please help.
Final Cut Pro says it is a supported file, still wont recognize it!

Yeah depends on the source but generally MPG hasn't ever been supported in Final Cut Pro- as Tom says you want to convert it to ProRes elsewhere before bringing into FCP X.

Final Cut Pro 7 stretches video footage

This question is for Final Cut Pro 7 and, as I was informed, has been posted in the wrong place. However I am unable to move the thread. I apologize for any confusion.
I have video footage that is 853x480, which is a slightly odd dimension. When I import this footage into FCP7, it stretches it to be 1011x480. Why is it doing this, and can I prevent it? The video footage is .mp4 file type.

FFCP7 questions should be posted on the Final Cut Studio forum.

Annoyed with JVC/Final Cut Pro import problem; will they ever fix this?

Annoyed with Final Cut Pro JVC import problem; will they ever fix this?
I've shot footage on JVC GY-HD111E in the UK in 720p/25p PAL mode.
I'm trying to import lots of short clips (average 10 seconds) into Final Cut Pro (latest version with 720p/25p support) with a new Mac Pro maxed out with ram and 3 extra internal HDs.
Problem is, on a scene-break i.e. pause/stop, Final Cut detects this and creates a new clip, but it takes about 5 seconds to 'searching for media" before it starts the new clip. Because some clips are only very short, this 5 second delay sometimes means I only get the final few frames of a clip, rather than the entire 5 seconds or so of it.
JVC UK are blaming Apple and are saying it is up to them to fix it as Premiere and Edius does not have this problem.
However, Symbiosis in the UK (who do HD-Connect box) say that the JVC ProHD cameras do not wrap the shots up properly at the end, they are kind of left open and this creates problems on scene-breaks.
I've tried turning off the "create new clip on timecode break" etc, but it does not make any difference, when I do this it simply quits capturing on a scene break. Besides I have about 300 cutaways like this and I don't want to spend the rest of the year breaking them up on the timeline as this would be a futile and long workflow.
I'm importing and working on a native HDV 720p/25p timeline and this is the way I want to work. I've already imported and edited 4 hours of footage, but these 4 hours were easy as all 4 tapes had no start/stop points, they were recorded continuously from beginning to end of tape for 64 minutes each time so importing was no problem; 1 clip per tape.
But now I've come to my 5 tapes containing hundreds of cutaways I'm kind of screwed and need some advise on how I can import them natively in HDV without losing this 5 seconds off the beginning of each clip whilst FCP searches for the media each time.
I've been told this issue is definately with FCP, any ideas how I can get around this?

I haven't heard of this JVC/FCP problem, so I can't comment on it. However, whoever shot the cutaways didn't do you, the editor, any favors.
I've been doing video since 1984, and I've got to say, anyone who shoots a scene that is only 5 or 6 seconds long on tape is making a huge mistake, and it's been that way since the beginning of computerized editing in the late 70s.
Shoot at least 5 seconds of pre-roll before the shot begins, then roll tape for at least 5 seconds after you've got the shot. That's the protocol I've followed for 22 years now. Tape is cheap, edit suite time isn't.
But laying down only 5 to 6 seconds for a scene is wrong, IMO.

Aperture or Final Cut Pro X for Video Org

I don't really see a reason to keep importing (linking) videos into Aperture at this point, considering the robust meta data capabilities of Final Cut Pro X. Other than having all video and photos in one place (Aperture database), does anyone have a reason?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Angelo

Thanks Shawn,
I'm switching to organizing all videos in FPCX - the keyword and Event options (smart albums) are pretty powerful and it's much easier to skim video. With the direct browsing of Aperture projects in FCPX I will have quick access stills for when combing both in a video. It would be nice to only have to deal with one piece of software when cataloging files from a HDSLR, but Aperture just isn't up to the task for video.
