  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 5 support 24F HDV

    Just wondering -- I'm about to install a version of Final Cut Pro 5 on my old non-Intel G5. I know FCP5 natively supports HDV. But would it support 24F HDV from a Canon XH-A1? If not, would there be any workaround?
    Any help appreciated!

    5.1.4 has this setting. Don't remember if 5.0.x did though.

  • 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 offer native support for DVCPRO HD 720p25?

    I would like to online a DVCPRO HD project on a Final Cut Pro suite with an HD i/o card, but I just wanted to make sure that the latest Final Cut Pro offers support for DVCPRO HD 720p25 before making the jump.

    Thanks for the info. I will check if the production company's Blackmagic HD card supports DVCPRO 720p25.
    Just for your information, we have offline edited on an Avid MC Adrenaline. We have had the biggest problems ingesting the media since we shot on a Varicam at 25p and the Avid wouldn't accept firewire. So we ended up cutting in 30i. Which now ***** since the online is a pain.
    It seems like we will export an EDL per video track from the Avid, then hopefully find a company or a person who will convert our 30fps EDL to 25fps via the software EDLMax24. Then import the EDLs into a Final Cut Pro HD suite with a Blackmagic HD card via HD-SDI, and online from the HD AJ-1400 deck. And hopefully that will work.
    The only outstanding thing is to find someone with EDLMAX24 since it retails at 600USD.

  • Final Cut Pro 7 and AVCHD

    Does anyone know or have heard if Apple is planning on releasing an update to Final Cut Pro 7 that will have AVCHD native sequences? Seems rediculous that it has to be converted. AVCHD is heavily compressed, which is great. But right now using log and transfer, you end up having files that take up too much space. Love to see Final Cut Pro take in AVCHD natively.
    I'd love to know what other think or have heard.
    Thanks.

    It's all relative. Anything can be considered "garbage" if your only criteria is to compare it to what ever the state-of-the-art happens to be at any particular point in time.
    All consumer cameras and most prosumer cameras are going to employ some sort of compromised acquisition medium due to market influences such as price and size.
    Even DV25 itself was and is considered a major compromise but for better or worse was very much an accepted standard for over a decade.
    Up until recently HDV was the prevalent format for low-cost acquisition. And HDV has also been considered "garbage" by many professionals.
    But there are many who believe that AVCHD holds the most promise for the near future as the most viable low-cost acquisition codec. It's more flexible than HDV with respect to compression so over time the format can evolve to accommodate emerging technological advances.
    All that said - For professional level editing using such a compressed codec with all of it's inherent limitations makes very little sense. This becomes more clear the more you understand what's actually going on under the hood when we use these NLE systems. It really IS rocket science and we've been conditioned to simply take that for granted.
    Now.... All THAT said. If all you want to do is make content selections (edits) without having to render all of your footage first, you should explore ClipWrap.
    I'm hoping that at some point in the near future FCP will provide this sort of functionality - similar to the way HDV is handled. ( and for the thought police - that's a wish not a speculation)
    And that may be all you were asking for in the first place.

  • Does Dinal Cut Pro X support stereo sound?

    Does final cut pro support stereo sound?

    I am going to answer my own question. It looks like not only stereo but 5.1 surround sound.
    I looked up the specs.

  • Final Cut Pro System support folder missing

    I downloaded a cool plug in for a aged film look but I cannot find the "Final Cut Pro System support folder" in which i have to place this plug-in.
    Any Ideas?

    *Hard Drive/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support.*
    Your plugin goes into the Plugins folder.
    You will need to authenticate with an Admin password to modify the folder.

  • 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.
