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.

    Is Adobe software overpriced? Opinions vary.
    And FCPX is a bloated inefficient Apple app not ready for prime time, but will function nicely as a hardware upgrade requirement, it's already started. Why do you think it's so cheap.

    You won't find anything that plays "all video formats", because of the restrictions built into the iOS.

  • Does Java Card 2 API support all the smart card?

    That's because it's not supported by JMF ;-)

    JMF is currently a dead project, and hasn't been extended / bug fixed in 7 years.
    There are a number of APIs out there that handle SWF files. The two worth looking at would be the Adobe Flex (this is the one you want) or possible the "Freedom for Media in Java" FMJ project (this is the one you want if you absooooolutely need to use Java).

  • Needs to support additional video file types.

    I would like to see LR 4 support additionals video file types. I have CS5 Premiere Pro and use this to capture video from a Sony HDR-HC7. PP 5 captures video from camara in mpeg format that LR 4 is not surporting.
    I would like LR 4 to suport the capture formats of CS5 Premiere Pro.

    You should put a feature request in the official forum.
    For the moment I find over there just one idea, which asks for less than you want:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/viewing_dv_files_in_lightroom_4
    So if you open your idea over there and post the link here, you get broader notice and hence more votes to support it.

  • Feature request: Slideshow module support for video files

    I'm very excited about your MTS support!
    Feature request: Slide show module  support for video files...
    Say you have 10 takes to choose from. Are you able to almost like SLIDESHOW view the 10 clips full screen so you can decide, like a playlist? Or rate them as they play? It would also be great, like SLIDESHOW to be able to export a MP4 with a title, the 10 clips you are working with, and maybe add an end title and a song, just like SLIDESHOW.
    I have found editing stills like this in slideshow far faster than in any other editing program.
    Basically, I just need a fast means to view or export an MP4 of a set of video clips to review. You are almost there.
    great job!!!
    Max

    I was also disappointed that video is not supported in the slideshow module -I currently have to use another solution when I want stills mixed with videos, would be great to be ablo to keep it all in LR!

  • Will Premiere Pro CC support Cinema DNG files?

    Will Premiere Pro CC support Cinema DNG files?

    That would be nice, but my guess is that if support was built in, Adobe would have made mention of it as a new feature.
    Given that Blackmagic is releasing a $1000 DC camera that records CinemaDNG to SD cards, it sure would be nice if PP cold work with them natively.  People, please keep filing that feature request.

  • Macbook, Final Cut Express and Canon 5D video files

    Hello everyone.
    I intend to purchase my first Apple Mac soon. It will probably be the Aluminium Macbook with 4GB RAM.
    I am an avid photographer and use the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. I can handle all the processing of the still photographs without a problem but I would like to take advantage of the cameras HD video capability. I know nothing about video editing but I have read that Final Cut is about the best video editor out there. My PC struggles to even play the movies from my camera, let alone edit them.
    I have the following questions that I hope some of you can answer:
    1. Will the standard Macbook with 4GB RAM be able to handle and edit the large video files (1.2GB for a 5 minute video clip)? I would prefer not to buy the Macbook Pro if possible. The computer will only be used for video editing occasionally. I will not be making 90 minute Hollywood style productions... just 5 minute short films once in a while.
    2. Does the cheapest version of Final Cut (Final Cut Express) handle files from the Canon 5D2?
    3. I know the video from the Canon 5D2 is generally disliked because it is 30fps and is in a strange format. However, I am not able to change this and I will not be buying a dedicated video camera as I rarely shoot video. So, I need to know if the Macbook and Final Cut Express can do the business with these files. Do you have any advice on how to handle the 5D2 files?
    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Will the standard Macbook with 4GB RAM be able to handle and edit the large video files (1.2GB for a 5 minute video clip)?
    Yes. You have a lot of hard-drive space with the Macbook Aluminum, so that shouldn't be an issue but you might consider using an external hard-drive to store your media if you ever start making longer movies. To tell you the truth, the Macbook with 2GB of RAM would probably work just as well. I recently upgraded mine and it didn't make much of a difference. Either way though, the Macbook should work fine with Final Cut, mine does. You might consider getting the one with the 2.4GHz processor, I have the feeling that will make more of a difference when editing than the extra RAM.
    Does the cheapest version of Final Cut (Final Cut Express) handle files from the Canon 5D2?
    Sort of, but it doesn't edit them natively. You can either drop the files in the timeline and render it out and it will work, or, if you don't want to render whenever you make a change, a better technique would be to first convert the clips using an application like the free [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> to something FCE can edit natively such as Apple Intermediate Codec. It's not as simple as drag-and-drop, but it will work.
    Do you have any advice on how to handle the 5D2 files?
    See above. I recommend the Streamclip conversion over the rendering though. If you have a lot of files to convert, Streamclip has a batch conversion setting so you can set what to convert to once and Streamclip will convert all the files. Converted files can then be edited in FCE without any particular problems.
    You should convert using these settings:
    Compression: +Apple Intermediate Codec for HD or DV-NTSC for SD+
    *Frame Size:* +(A supported FCE frame size, for example 1920x1080, 1440x1080, 720x480, etc. The supported frame size you choose should be as close to your original frame size as possible)+
    *Frame Rate:* 29.97
    Sound: +Uncompressed Stereo 48kHz+
    Keep in mind that the Macbook Aluminum lacks a Firewire port, so if that is detrimental to your use you should consider getting the white Macbook or the Macbook Pro. I believe the Canon 5D Mark II uses USB for transfer though, so it shouldn't be that much of a problem.
