Downward compatibility express 4.0 to Pro 5.1.4

I have final cut express 4.0 and I need to be able to save the files so they are compatible with final cut pro 5.1.4 which is a lower version. can anyone help?
thanks

I have one main project which includes live action and animation/storyboards and I want to be able to work on it at home (express) and school (Pro 1.1.4) but it sounds as though that is not possible - I can only go one way. From Pro to express. Or of course export the project to Quick time and then re-import it but that losses flrxibility to play with the multiple video and sound layers.
Do you know what version of Express is equivalent to Pro5.1.4?
Thanks

  • Compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro

    I'm getting ready to edit a project and I was wondering if there are any compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro. I've never used Express put I assume I would be able to make cuts, simple effects and titles. Is this correct.
    If I transfer project files from one platform to the other will i run into any issues?
    Thanks for all and any help.

    Although they operate in a similar fashion that are not fully compatible. You can open a FCE project in FCP, but once you've edited it in FCP you can't go back to FCE.

    Is it possible to move my films from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro X ?

    Yes, it works…

  • Final Cut Express Vs. Final Cut Pro Vs. Adobe Premiere

    Hey all,
    I just bought my first Apple computer and I'm loving it. I have worked with Final Cut Pro in the past and I really enjoy working with it. However, $1000 is a bit steep. I would like to ask what your opinions are on maybe getting Final Cut Express or Adobe Premiere Pro.
    I have the trial of Adobe Premiere right now, but whenever I place a clip into the timeline, it needs to be rendered. This was never an issue with Final Cut on the computers at my school. I was wondering if you knew if Final Cut Express would have better rendering times and wouldnt need as much rendering. Also, it may be the graphics card in my computer. If you think this is the problem, can you provide me with a solid video/graphics card that I should look into?
    Thanks all,
    Kevin

    I own all three programs actually - here's my advice.
    Stay the heck away from Adobe Premiere. It is no where nearly as Mac friendly and for the price, just isn't worth it. I purchased it for the Blu-ray authoring capabilities of Encore, so that's all I use it for. The plus to Premiere is that it can edit some native formats that Final Cut Pro cannot. For example, native AVCHD as well as MPEG-2 in program streams. That being said, Encore is the best option for Blu-ray authoring at a reasonable cost that gives you the ability to modify menus, etc.
    Final Cut Express is a great application - my only reason for having final cut pro was my need to edit footage at 23.98, 29.97, and 59.94 fps. FCE only handles 29.97 (and 25 fps). Final Cut Pro also gives you the ability to edit more footage natively. FCE only supports DV, HDV, and AVCHD, with the latter two being transcoded into Apple Intermediate Codec for editing. FCP supports a myriad of formats and allows native editing in HDV - although it still transcodes AVCHD. FCP also gives you access to the ProRes set of codecs which are significant improvements on Apple Intermediate Codec that offer high quality in transcoding and editing.
    So the real question is, what are you going to be doing?

  • Kernel/driver downward compatibility

    Dear all,
    I have an EL5 Update 4 installation. My WLAN card has a BCM4318 chip from Broadcom. As stated on Broadcom's home page, I normally needed a b43 driver--however, this requires kernel 2.6.25 or higher. My kernel is 2.6.18, as originally downloaded from Oracle's web site. It as a deprecated driver bcm43xx installed, modprobe shows it up. However, this driver can not control the above card. LAN is working OK.
    My questieon is: Can I get and install a much newer b43 driver to cooperate with my older kernel or is downward compatibility excluded?
    Lately I used an up2date for my ULN, no change in kernel.
    Then I looked round for latest versions, and downloaded some kernel-2.6.18-164.11.1.0.1.el5.i686.rpm package, When trying to install it I get
    Can't install a different arch of /root/Desktop/kernel-2.6.18-164.11.1.0.1.el5.i686.rpm than already installed.
    Can anyone help me what to do for me not to damage anything that is already working properly?
    Thanks, kind regards,

    This questions comes up a lot recently.
    OEL is a server distribution and is not likely to keep abreast of the latest
    wireless technology. So if your wireless card isn't properly detected out of
    the box, you are pretty much own your own.
    That being said, if you do this:
    # /bin/rpm -qa --qf="%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{REVISION}.%{ARCH}.rpm\n" kernel\*You will get the exact name of the kernel RPM for your current install. If
    you get a newer kernel from somewhere, the VERSION and REVISION portions may
    differ, but the rest should be the same as you currently have.

  • Can I upgrade final cut express to final cut pro?

    For some reason I'm having trouble finding the answer to this question. Can I upgrade my final cut express to final cut pro for a cheaper price then having to buy final cut pro from scratch? From what I've read, both final cuts are pretty similar so is an upgrade possible? I've found some posts saying you can, but they were from 2005 and not sure if that is still possible.
    Thanks

    I remember learning that myself a few months ago and feeling kicked in the 'nads by Apple. FWIW, I've seen people selling their copies of FCE on craigslist. Not sure it's "supported" by Apple, but what choice do you have to reclaim any value? If you upgrade, FCE is essentially useless and redundant software to you.

  • Besteht die Möglichkeit von Final Cut Express auf Final Cut Pro X upzudaten? Wenn ja, wie und was kostet es?

    besteht die Möglichkeit von Final Cut Express auf Final Cut Pro X upzudaten? Wenn ja, wie und was kostet es?

    oder, auf Deutsch:
    Nein.
    Tipp: Es gibt immer wieder Angebote, neulich zB im Mediamarkt, iTunes-Karten, 50€ für 35€ - dann kostet FCPX nur noch ~190€ ..... Und: Vorher das kostenlose 30d Trial installieren, ob Dein Rechner & Du damit auch wirklich zurecht kommen.-

  • Is it possible to transfer stored (b-roll) video footage from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro event library? Is so, what do I need?

    I have been editing in final cut express and now that I'm working in Pro X I would like to transfer my b-roll footage from FCX to Pro X. I read that there is an app. that you can buy that does this for Final Cut Pro 7, is this possible with Final Cut Express?

    Any media used in FCE can be used in FCP. No third party software is required.
    You cannot take an FCE project to FCP. 7toX will not help as FCE has no XML export.

  • How can I use Final Cut Express in a Mac Pro

    I want to know how could I use my Final Cut Express HD programm (Version 3) in my new Mac Pro.

    FCE 3.0 was not designed to work with Intel based Macs when they were introduced years ago so you have no chance with a modern Mac.
    You must upgrade to FCE 4 unless you want to move onto Final Cut Pro X which is designed to be used with the latest technology.
    Final Cut Studio 3 will also work OK.

  • Erro 3256 using Apple Airport Express with Windows XP Pro SP2

    I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 and am trying to stream my music to the Livng room from my PC in my office. I use an Apple Airport Express. I am running iTunes 8.0.1.11 on the computer that isn't getting the signal through. Now please read the entire message before you decide it is the version of iTunes that I am using.
    It was getting through just fine on my Denon 3300 but since I switched to a Denon 3802 the signal is not geting through from my main computer. It works fine from the computer sittng adjacent to it.
    I also have music on a 2nd computer and am running iTunes 7.6.2.9 on it. The music gets to the living room stereo just fine using the same Apple Airport Express. The signal strength on the computer that is successful in streaming the music to the Apple Airport Express is "excellent". On the computer that is not successful, the signal strenth is "low". Now these computers are adjacent to each other and the signal has to go through the same wall and
    exactly the same distance over the same network.
    How can it be "excellent" on one and "low" on the other? Is it just a matter of signal strength? How do I fix that?
    I keep getting "unknown error occurred 3256"
    Help please. Do I have to do something to the network? or???
    Remember I am a Windows user, not a Mac user. I do not have a "Configure IPv6" setting anywhere in my preferences. That must be a Mac thing.

    Got the error message 3256 after downloaded latest itunes version 8.xx.
    After days of reading logs and bullentin boards, uninstalling, hard resets,firewalls experiments, etc, I found solution for me. Following firmware upgrade to airport express solved. When you go to Apple download center and search for airport revisions only the MAc version pops up. However they do have this one for windows. Give it a try. Good luck.

  • Airport Express (steady greenlight) + MacBook Pro but no working airtunes

    I do have the following situation:
    After my first attempt more than 3/4 of a year ago, I thought it would be nice to try to connect my AE again with my new MBP. Last time I gave up, so I thought give it a new try!
    I finally was able to access my AE with Airport Admin Utility.
    The goal is to use the AE only to play Itunes through wifi on my stereo, no printing or internet access/sharing needed.
    The AE is set with the following configuration:
    AIRPORT-tab:
    Name: Base Station
    Contact: -
    Location: -
    Airport Network:
    Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    Wireless Network: Livebox-ff44 (this is my ISP router)
    Wireless Security: 128 bit WEP (also tried Not Enabled)
    INTERNET-tab:
    Connect Using: Wireless Network
    Configure TCP/IP
    Configure: Using DHCP
    IP address: 192.168.1.11
    Subnet mask: 25.255.255.0
    Router address: 192.168.1.1
    DNS servers: -
    Domain name: -
    DHCP Client ID: -
    MUSIC-tab:
    Enable Airtunes on this base station (ticked)
    Enable Airtunes over the Ethernetport (ticked but ghosted)
    Itunes Speaker Name: Base Station
    No Itunes Speaker password set
    So once again, the LED light is steady green.
    In Itunes the Base Station can be selected, but music is still played of
    the laptop speakers and not through the AE. I connected my Ipod headset
    directly to the audio jack on the AE (I assume this is possible to check in this way), but no sound.
    The Itunes volume is set correctly.
    Does anyone has a clue what I am doing wrong or how I can test my situation easily?

    I assume that you are using 802.11g or b networking rather than 802.11n? I can get this to work with my Macbook Pro with 802.11g wireless with my airport express connected to my existing network, but when I turn on the 802.11n broadcast on, it fails. My Macbook is equipped with an 802.11n airport card and I can connect to the internet.

  • Importing file from final cut express to final cut pro

    Hello, I am taking a video I have been working on from final cut express and opening it into final cut pro on another machine. It brings footage over but completely incorrect. I am editing a music video and its basically taking the files and putting them out of sequence etc. When I first open up final cut pro it will say do you want to update this video to the new version which I expected to which I respond yes but its jacked up after that. Any suggestions?

    Generally, I just drag the DV file from the finder to the iDVD menu window. Make sure you don't drag it to any Drop Zones, I think that might be your problem with the DV file showing up as the background. If you have default settings in iDVD, this drag and drop should then create submenus based on your chapter markers.
    I'm not sure if you have any issues with the Chapters not showing up in QT. If you're expecting them to show up, then make sure that when you do the Export to QT that the option to include Chapter Markers is set. Upon conversion, you should see the Chapters within QT as well as when imported into iDVD.
    Hope this helps!

  • Final cut express versus Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5

    Hi
    Resently I bought a Mac Pro and Final cut express.
    In the past I used Premiere Pro 1.5. When my project was finisched i wrote it back to tape as a Microsoft DV avi file. Is it possible to create a Microsoft DV avi file in Final Cut Express ?
    I'll aske this because this tape is transported to the studio and imported into Adobe Premiere 6.0.
    thanks in advance

    Once it's on tape it's back in DV format and is no longer an AVI or .mov or any other computer format. If the material is put back on tape it can be captured from the camera or deck into Premiere in whatever format that uses.

  • Difference between Logic Express 8 and Logic Pro 9

    I am wondering if there is a big difference in these 2 versions.  I mostly do vocals, where I bring in a karaoke track, and then sing multiple tracks to it, so I'm wondering if it pays to step up to Logic Pro 9. 

    Hi
    Many of the new features in Logic Pro 9 are discussed on Apple's product pages http://www.apple.com/logicpro/
    The fundamental differences between the Express and Pro versions are discussed here:
