Does FInal Cut Pro suports Sony HD Camcorder codecs?

I just got (as a present) a Sony HDR-SR1 AVC HD 30GB Handycam® It records HD to an internal Hard Drive but it uses a AVCHD (HD) codec. How can I edit this footage in Final Cut Pro is this codec supported at all? Thank you!

For Sony Cameras you mean?
ANY AVCHD camera... Use the Log and Transfer window. Apple just demo'd that here at LAFCPUG. But it doesn't import into the native AVCHD codec...you have to choose between AIC and ProRes 422. ProRes is the better option, but know that you need a two drive firewire Raid, or another internal SATA drive, or an eSATA drive to handle.

Does final cut pro x support avchd files from sony HDR-cx260

Does Final Cut Pro X support the AVCHD files from a Sony HDR-CX260 Handycam?

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 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?

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).

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.

Why does Final Cut Pro Crash at Start up?

This is what console tells me is going wrong! Help what do i do!
4/27/11 1:18:40 PM Final Cut Pro[2867] ProKit's NSWindow addition -setActiveAppearanceDuringRestore: has been deprecated and does nothing on SnowLeopard for apps linked on ProKit 5.x or later. Please remove this method call.

Try searching for invisible files that are called ProKit, NSWindow, and combinations of those two. They should be in your Library or System folders, Maybe.
But the larger questions we must have answered:
Has FCP ever worked for you or ios this a new instalation, first time launch?
Did you add any new software to your system since the last successful launch of FCP?

Regarding final cut pro and sony camera

hi,
I have a Sony HDR-CX550/CX550V XR550/XR550V Digital HD Camera Recorder, and I wanted to know if the format that this camera shoots, will it be natively compatible with Final Cut Pro?
I would really appreciate an answer, as I need it asap
Much thanks

I have the same camera, and I noticed that in Standard Def mode, the Sony HDR-CX550V shoots in MPEG 2 PS (not AVCHD)
- Can this be natively edited in Final Cut Pro? If so, how?
- Is this an XDCAM format?
- If the Sony MPEG-2 PS can't be edited in FCP directly, what's the fastest / most space-efficient way codec for me to translate this to (for example thru mpegstreamclip)?
Would much appreciate your insights-

Does final cut pro x work on mac mini i5 2.3GHz

Hey everyone I'm a Mac newbie and i just bought this mac mini of course the cheapest one and now im wondering if i would be able to run final cut pro x on it if i install 16gb of ram someone please help me out if not i may just return it thanks in advance

short answer: it will
long answer; FCPX does perform well (for my needs), on my less-powerful MacMini C2D/2.26 with 8GB. so, the i5 plus its newer graphic card plus your 16GBs will 'fly'. you can improve performance even more with additional, external harddrives, to keep projects, events and system/app on physical diff. drives.
It's a kind of 'religious war' here on this board btw, the real professionals ("…only and just only fw800 RAIDS work!"), and hobbyists like Ian and me ("my ol' usb drives support 6-angle-multicam too!") what kind of drives you should use ... finally, size-of-wallet decides

Does Final Cut Pro X support two displays?

Is there a download or update that allows Final Cut Pro X to support a second display to play video out?

You can place the viewer on a second monitor but you cannot spread the interface across two monitors. The same thing goes with Motion. Using a second 27" monitor just to show the viewer is a humongous waste of resources.
With previous versions of FCP and Motion I could place a group of panels on the second monitor so that I did not have to dig through tabs to find what I wanted. Everything I needed was right there. Nothing was hidden. After upgrading to the latest version of Motion it felt like my elbows were tied together and things slowed down considerably. FCPX takes a similar approach.
The ability to break apart the default arrangement and spread out the interface is a tried and true approach. I can't imagine how awful it would be if Adobe forced its flagship apps into such a restrictive model. I know that the docking tabs thing was an ongoing source of litigation between Adobe and Macromedia back in the day. I assume that Apple didn't feel like paying a royalty or something. I don't care if I have to pay a few bucks more. When FCP and Motion resumes an open interface approach, I will happily make the jump back from AfterEffects and Premiere Pro and will upgrade to FCPX.
For a video pro, everything hinges on productivity and in a high speed environment, every minute counts. If everything I do in an app requires digging through tabs, this becomes very expensive and it affects the fluidity of the creative process. It can also make the difference in whether you can have the content ready in time for the broadcast, which means you have to dumb down the result. Either way you go, you lose: you either get a reputation for taking too long or for turning in a second rate project. It doesn't just affect productivity, but it has an impact on salaries and promotions.
My recommendation to Apple is that they consider that not every video pro in the field works in the same way as the Apple's product manager does. Apple's previous approach to interface design recognized this and it worked wonderfully. During the Samsung thing Phil Schiller specifically stated that Apple doesn't listen to its customers when designing products. I would think that if the opposite were true, the customers would be happier and more productive. Just a thought....

Does Final Cut Pro X replace Final Cut Pro 7???

Hi -
I just got a new MacbookPro and it does not seem to want to let me install Final Cut Pro 7. Maybe it's the 10.9 System?
It does let me use Final Cut Pro X, is that the newer version of FCP 7? Will older projects load in FCP X?
I thought I tried this before and X would not load 7 projects.
Thanks.

Final Cut Pro 7 was discontinued over 2 years ago and is no longer supported on new Macs . . . . though it should still work.
FCP X replaced it completely.
It is a totally different app and you can't swap projects (unless you buy a third party app for $9.99).
