Does Final Cut Pro X import AC3 sound from an SONY AVCHD  Camera?

Hi
I have a Sony AVCHD camera HDR-XR200.
I have been using Vegas Platinum in a PC. Surround sound 5.1 is supported.
I purchased FCPX for its "64 bit processing. better use of cores and threads, and 5.1 sound (which iMovie does not support).
However, when I use FCPX to import from the camera, i only get stereo  channels.
I have set the properties to 5.1 sound.
Can anyone shed light on why this does not work?
Thanks
Barry

Thanks Daniel for the reply and the URL.
I have sent the following to the Apple Feedback site.
"I have FCPX which claims to support AVCHD and Surround Sound AC3.
When I import toFCPX from my HDR-XR200 handicam, the audio is down mixed to stereo. I cannot get the 5.1 sound recorded in the camera to accompany the video.
Is this advertised feature missing, is this a bug or should I be doing something that is not immediately apparent to the application."
It seems that many of us who have great expectations for FCPX whould like some feedback from Apple.

  • Can Final Cut Pro X import .mxf files from Canon XF105

    I have just bought new FCP X program,  and wanted to buy Canon XF105 - would FCPx can import .mxf - mpeg2 from Canon XF105 ?  Need your advice on this.

    Unfortunately I can't test it because, though I have some XF media, I can't find the Canon XF Utility on their web site. It comes on the disc with the camera I'm told, but I don't have a camera.

  • 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 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?

  • 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!
    Dan

    - 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.

  • 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.

  • HT4663 final cut pro x import question

    So I have a 500gb external hard drive that is open.  On another external hard drive I have about 300gb of footage.  So far I have imported 80gb onto the open 500gb hard drive and it has filled it up.  Am I doing something wrong on the import into Final Cut Pro X?

    I am not 100% sure what you mean by where did it come from, so I don't mean to sound dumb but I will explain it best I can.
    I went on a road trip across America and filmed around 300GB of footage.  It was shot on Sony XDcam I believe.  The media is .mts.  I broke the footage up into 4 different legs of the trip, and each folder varies in size the first one is 80GB and the second is around 50GB and so on.  So I am Importing them by their folders one at a time.  So when the first Leg of the trip was done importing I noticed the 500GB drive I got for the footage was already full.
    So the way I imported was I clicked on the import button and went through the archive button to find the hard drive with the footage.  So I don't believe I used the optimize function when I imported, unless it was the proxy setting that I check marked during the importing process.
    Here is a screen shot of what kind of footage I am trying to bring in, I hope it helps.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Final Cut Pro Video Import Crash Problems

    Whenever I try to import video files into Final Cut Pro X the program crashes. I've tried numerous formats and nothing is working. If it does pull the video in and lets me see it briefly prior to crashing, the footage appears shaky and with bright green lines running through it. It does not look like this if you play the clip outside of FCP. I've used FCP to make videos within the last year without this problem and have updated as well as uninstalled and re-installed the software to see if that would helped, but nothing has worked. I am stumped and my client is getting antsy for a finished product. Please advise.

    I've had the same problem on both my laptop and my desktop:
    Laptop specs: 13" MacBook Pro (2012) / 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 / 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 / Intel HD Graphics 4000  513 MB / 450 GB Free space
    Desktop specs: iMac (2009), Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.66 GHz / 296 GB Free space
    I'm feeling like a tech moron though as I am not sure about finding this information, "Frame size, frame rate, video codec, audio codec, sample rate."

  • Final Cut Pro Cannot Import Quicktime file "File Error: Unknown file."

    Very strange. I have two .MOV files. One of which I can import into Final Cut Pro without a problem. The other gives me the error as described in the subject header.
    They have the same Codecs (H.264, AAC), were both shot with the same camera. The only difference I can see is that the one that does import has dimensions 640x480 and the one that doesnt import has dimension 1280x720. Could that be the problem?
    thanks for taking the time to help!
    Uri

    Please give the complete information from the QuickTime movie inspector. Neither file should be used in FCP, but converted to a production format.

  • Does Final Cut Pro Studio work on old powerbook?

    I'm planning to buy the Final Cut Pro Studio package, but before I want to be sure that it will work fine on my PowerBook.
    I have enough Processor (G4 1Ghz) and RAM (1Gb) as apple suggest, but I'm worried about the supported graphics cards listed on the recommendation. My GeForce4 MX graphics cards is not mentioned. and of course I have to upgrade to OS 10.4.x... this is not a problem.
    In this moment, from the Final Cut Pro Studio package, I only need to use FCP, DVDSP and Compressor. I have to import about 1 hour SD movie, other short clip, convert to AC3 and Mpeg2 and use DVD Pro to authoring a DVD. I don't need to use a lot of graphic fx with motion or capture in HD format.
    Thank you for your suggestion and recommendation!
    I hope to be more active in this forum soon!

    It worked well enough (but slowly) on mine. But you probably won't be able to install Motion because of your graphics card.
