I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine. The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart. I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky. I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe. My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.

How to convert my personal DVDs to be edited in Final Cut Pro 7?

Hi guys,
I am working on a project that need to edit my personal DVDs in Final Cut Pro 7, but what i need to do first is rip the DVD to a Final Cut Pro 7 compatible format, to which format should i convert the DVD? I am using iSkysoft iMedia Converter for Mac, it has many output formats. It is a little difficult to decide the right one.
Would you please help? If possible, please tell me the codec/ resolution/ bitrate . thanks in advance!
Albert

I understand what format DVDs are. My suggestion is - if you generated these DVDs, you must have the source footage. Why not use that?
I'd suggest you open the manual and start with the getting started section and work through any tutorials that came with your version. This program is complex and you need a fundamental understanding of more stuff than we can cover in this forum.
Ken Stone's website has a number of tutorials and is a good source of new user information as is Lyndia.com

Importing dvd's to edit in final cut (for uni project- a movie trailer)

Hi, I need to edit down an existing movie into a ten minute trailer for a project at uni. Obviously there will be a disclaimer stating this is copyrighted footage and I am not passing the content off as my original work, only the edit (otherwise this would be plagiarism). The problem is I was advised by the lecturer to use handbreak, which doesn't rip into a suitable format. I need the files as DV or .mov ideally. Any freeware that is up to the task? Visualhub is no longer available, even though i would've happily paid a tenner for that. Anyone any ideas? This is a one of project so I don't fancy paying a lot for it. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

If i edit in final cut pro x, how can i create a dvd

What is the best DVD creator to download to create DVDs from movies edited in Final Cut Pro X?

iDVD gets my top vote - it is no longer available from Apple, but still part of the retail iLife 09 or 11 versions available from online resellers. It offers customizable menus/themes which will give your creation a professional look. It encodes/authors and you can burn directly from it.
Second is Roxio Toast (no customizable menus, but many other features and an excellent burn software).
I've tried DVD creator and found it to be too simplistic. Then there is Burn (free) - it burns.
I use iDVD to "create" and Toast to burn.

I'm a bit confused. Since my original camera format was 720/60p, and I converted the footage to Pro Res422 in order to edit in Final Cut Pro 7, should I convert back to a higher quality format before sending the file to DVD Studio Pro?

I'm a bit confused. Since my original camera format was 720/60p, and I converted the footage to Pro Res422 in order to edit in Final Cut Pro 7, should I convert back to a higher quality format before sending the file to DVD Studio Pro? If so, which Compressor codec is best to use in order to preserve the original 720/60p? How do I maintain the highest quality?

No...ProRes is a high quality format. Finishing format. Many TV networks take that as a final deliverable.
BUT...DVDs aren't high definition...they are SD. You cannot make a 720p60 DVD with DVD Studio Pro. Any DVD you make will be SD...720x480. The only HD DVD format out there is BluRay, and for that you need a BluRay burner.
As for making a high quality DVD...using the BEST QUALITY settings in Compressor will work:
#42 - Quick and dirty way to author a DVD
Shane's Stock Answer #42 - David Roth Weiss' Secret Quick and Dirty Way to Author a DVD:
The absolute simplest way to make a DVD using FCP and DVDSP is as follows:
1. Export a QT movie, either a reference file or self contained using current settings.
2. Open DVDSP, select the "graphical" tab and you will see two little monitors, one blue, one green.
3. Select the left blue one and hit delete.
4. Now, select the green one, right click on it and select the top option "first play".
5. Now drag your QT from the browser and drop it on top of the green monitor.
6. Now, for a DVD from an HD source, look to the right side and select the "general tab" in the track editor, and see the Display Mode, and select "16:9 pan-scan."
7. Hit the little black and yellow burn icon at the top of the page and put a a DVD in when prompted. DVDSP will encode and burn your new DVD.
THATS ALL!!!
NOW...if you want a GOOD LOOKING DVD, instead of taking your REF movie into DVD SP, instead take it into Compressor and choose the BEST QUALITY ENCODE (2 pass VBR) that matches your show timing. Then take THAT result into DVD SP and follow the rest of the steps. Except you can choose "16:9 LETTERBOX" instead of PAN & SCAN if you want to see the entire image.

Using IDVD to create a DVD with HDV footage edit in Final Cut

I tried to create a DVD with IDVD 5. It was a 5 minute hdv movie edited in Final Cut and the result was really bad.
I have tried the best quality option but it's still a disaster. I taught about using compressor but It would take 110 hours to compress this movie in h:264
What is my solution?

Hi. Does anyone know what video editing software is compatible with my MacBook - version 10.6.3? I am looking to edit films and already have Final Cut Pro, but am looking for something a little more basic and easier to use. Thanks. Vicki

Hi Cereskit
Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

Workflow for editing HD PAL .m2ts and .mpeg4 on Final Cut

I have PAL HD files in two formats (.m2ts and .mpeg4) from 2 cameras of the same event. These files need to be converted to a mutually compatible format to edit in Final Cut (Studio 2). I would appreciate knowledgeable recommendations on a work flow, including the best converter(s) to use.

I could not load either file format into MPEG-Streamclip. Do you think there is any better media converter than the VoltaicHD? I am trying it out and it is the best I have seen. Clean and the controls for the Quicktime .mov file out. Although, when I play output clips set to digitize at 25 frames, they are all reported as 29.97 -- is this a bug?

We've just downloaded Maverick and the new final cut 10.1. On two separate computers it has crashed and we have lost our entire project that we were editing. Not sure if it is a final cut problem or maverick. Any suggestions on how to get the timeline

We just installed maverick and the new final cut. On 2 separate computers we have had it crash while using final cut and have lost the project. Now we are reading that our time machine is not working with maverick. Any suggestions on how to get timeline back from the new final cut? Thought it was suppose to save automatically.

DVD to Qtime file to Final Cut

Hi,
I have a DVD of something I edited at work that I need to re-edit in Final Cut Pro. Its a copy of a film (has no Macrovision or anything else like that).
How do I get a copy of it off of the DVD and into a format that Final Cut Pro can edit? Like a Quicktime File or DV File.
I have a program callede MPG Streamclip but all the files on the DVD won't import. There are BUP,IFO,VOB files. I don't know what those are but...........
I have Qtime Pro with the updated Qtime MPEG-2 playback.
So how do I do this? Its been 5 hours now and its getting a bit sad.
Tried Mac The Ripper but could only copy the DVD onto another DVD, which is no help.
Is there a solution?
Tracy

Most high end video apps (and even iMovie) are DV (Digital Video) editing apps.
This is why I suggested you export from MPEG Streamclip to the DV Stream (.dv) file format.
If you export using any other setting your DV editor will need to "convert" your file into the DV format.
This takes a long time. A faster computer handles the conversion quicker.
I run my conversions while I sleep. No need to watch the water boil. It will, in time.

G5 Power PC vs Imac...which is better for editing with final cut studio 2?

This is my present computer:
iMac 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo (2008 model)
4 gigs of 800 mhz ddr2 sdram (this is the max ram for this computer! )
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS 512 MB
Hard drive: 465 gig (I use mainly external drives for editing)
I use this mainly for video editing with final cut studio 2.
Rendering in compressor takes forever!!!
A friend suggested I pick up a used G5 Power PC.
I found this one, here are the specs:
APPLE POWER MAC G5 PowerPC DUAL CORE (2 x 2 GHZ)
System Mac OSX 10.5.8
RAM 12 GB
1 Hard drive of 160 Gb
Superdrive 16x CD/DVD/DL DVD (32x)
Video card NVIDIA GeForce 6600 (VRAM 256 Mb)
3 open PCI-Express expansion slots.
1x FireWire 800
3x FireWire 400
4x USB 1 and 2
2x Ethernet Port
2x Displays ports
Is this insanity or a smart move to move over to the older G5.
According to my friend, the older G5s are much better at processing video.
Is a dual 2 GHZ processor enough or would I need a 2.3 or 2.5?
OR is there another option that someone might be able to suggest?
I would be so appreciative of any opinions regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Bill

Save your pennies and look for a refurbished or used MacPro. Early 2008 or newer 8 core machines w/8GB of RAM running 4 instances in QMaster will chew through material.
Beyond running compressor, it is just a better all round machine for editing video.
• it has multiple internal drive bays which run via SATA connections - much faster than the FW800 limits of the iMac for external drives
• it has 3 slots which give you the option of an i/o card from AJA, Blackmagic or Matrox so that you can actually monitor your video properly as well as ingest high end formats
• the slots give you the ability to connect esata raids for even higher data speeds
• you have much greater flexibility with computer monitors
• you have much greater RAM capacity
and so on ...

What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X

What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X? Wondering if there is a solution under 100.00 or do I need to think a bit more. Thank you.

Have been doing this for some time, my setup:
I use an ancient "Symphonic" VCR player connected to an Elgato Eyetv Hybrid USB dongle. That plugs into my G5 Mac, 10.5.8, which runs Eyetv software v. 2.5.3.
Recording is dead simple after fiddling around a bit with software settings for channel, etc. Start the player, hit "record" on the software and wait for the end.
The recording is saved in some obscure ".eyetv" format with file size about 4 GB per hour of recording. The software has export to a variety of formats including QT Movie which results in a substantially larger file size.
Quality? Well, it's viewable and usable for archive purposes. I'm fine with it but more discriminating folks may want something better. I end up burning the video on a DVD using iDVD and that's not the greatest anyway.
There are various Elgato units available, and the Eyetv Hybrid seems to run bout $130.
Hope that helps.

What is the best product for converting MTS files (NOT on camera or in root directory) for editing in Final Cut

Hello all,
I have read the forums and know that I cannot use the Log and Transfer function on Final Cut Express 4.0 for my AVCHD files (from my Panasonic HC-V700) AFTER I have transfered the files out of the original root directory. Unfortunately, I did not know this until recently and I have a bunch of old footage in .mts form that I copied onto my harddrive WITHOUT the root directory. I now must get it into Final Cut Express 4.0.1. and I would like to use a Log and Transfer style program so that I can select what I need and erase the rest. I know about the program VoltaicHD which can be used for this purpose. I have not yet purchased it, but I will if this is my best option. The downsides to it are that it takes a lot of time to process the files (i hear from this forum) and that it creates extremely large files (hearsay from this forum, though I would like to know just how big those files are and how they compare to the size of files final cut creates). When I tried the trial version, I also noticed that unlike the log and transfer function in Final Cut Express 4.0.1, you cannot capture multiple subclips from a single clip. Well you can, but you have to load the clip into the viewing window again, which is not ideal.
I would love some more advice on this. I imagine other people have made this same mistake and have had to figure their way out of it.
I was also wondering is it possible to use Final Cut Express's Log and Transfer program directly from files if they are in a different file format. So far my experiments with this have failed. But if this is possible, I suppose I can also just convert all the backlogged files wholesale into a format that Final Cut Express supports more easily for Log and Transfer (What file format would this be? Sorry I am new to this). My new harddrive has a lot of free space, so I could probably handle the huge amount of storage that this would require for the raw footage and then I could erase it after I log and transfer just what I need. In which case, do folks have recommendations for a file convertor. I am dealing with over hundreds of files and I don't think the free online convertors would work. This product has been suggested to me, but I know very little about it.
Thanks!
Mira

I am also finding, when I use Voltaic trial version, that the quicktime movies it creates are of inferior quality than those created through log and transfer into final cut express and imovie, particularly during rapid movement. There's a lot of visible lines running horizontally around areas of rapid movement (not sure what the lingo is for this).
Anyway, now I am getting accustomed to the idea that my best bet is probably just a high quality converter to get my mts files into something more useable by final cut. At this point, I am willing to sit through the render time that it will take on final cut express while I edit. I am just trying to get my footage into workable format without losing quality.
Thank you!
Mira
