Easy Set Up Setting

What would be the correct setting for the following video I'm about to input:
Transfer from super-16mm @ 1920X1080 resolution, via Apple PRO RES 422 HQ at 1080 23.98 PsF.
Thanks in advance!
Dave J

Apple ProRes HQ 23.98. Do you have a capture card with this system? If so, it would be listed under that card's name. Otherwise, just use the Apple one. The Easy Setup window has a way to narrow down the choices...like choosing 23.98 for the frame rate, and proRes for the compressor.

  • Easy Set-Up for Canon 5D Mark II Media

    I was in the forum about a month ago, and thanks to you all I learned what I needed to know to transcode my Canon 5D Mark II media to FCE. But, now I am shooting with Canon's new firmware that allows to capture media at 24 fps. Now, I know that FCE is not optimum for this media, but because I don't use pirated software and I am low on cash what is the best Easy Set-Up for FCE. Now, I have it set at Format: HD ; Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 ; Rate: 29.97.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Michael,
    To answer you first question, I have FCE v 4.01.
    I found the following video on u-tube very helpful,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRpUs_My-Oo, however make sure you follow the instructions given in the forum as to what values to place in MPEG Streamline. If you combine the two you should be OK. I am not sure I understand your second question, but I have not had to make a render step in placing clips in FCE timeline. But, I am not that knowledgable about FCE. I am still very low on the learning curve.... yet, I hope this is somewhat helpful...Good Luck

  • Over riding "inbuilt audio" for the audio out put in the easy set up?

    Hi all. I just got hold of Final Cut express and I can not get audio to come out of my external audio interface( MOTU 2408 III).
    I have noticed that the default setting in the easy set up is for inbuilt audio.
    How do I over ride this?
    Thanks,
    Spigg
    PS Audio system setting is set for the MOTU... infact warning beeps are going through external... just not movie audio

  • Where is Easy Set-up Location?

    Experimented with a project using a Sony VX2000 which is DV where audio was set at 32 kHz. Having trouble with audio drift capturing that DV from my DHR-1000 Deck. Made an Easy Set-up with 32kHz audio instead of standard 48kHz. Didn't help.
    Now I want to delete that Easy Set-up. Can't find it. It is NOT under either:
    HD-->Library-->Application Support-->FCP System Support-->Custom Settings
    nor is it under
    User-->Library-->Application Support-->Final Cut Studio
    I quit FCP and restarted, thinking that was what was needed. Didn't help.
    Thanks for any help.

    David,
    Thanks for responding. Couldn't find it. Did a search for that folder also. No luck.
    Guess not the end of the world, will just make me slower in trying different setups that I know I can't delete if don't work.
    Oh, well.
    Thanks for trying.

  • Must have 1 Easy Set Up File?

    I posted before about having lost my serial number and being unable to start my FCE. I got a serial number from Apple and I entered it where asked. Then Final Cut Express began to load and an error message popped up stating "Unable to start Final Cut Express. You must have at least 1 Easy Set Up File. Please re-install Final Cut Express and try again."
    My problem is that I no longer have my Final Cut disc. Any ideas on how to get my FCE to work?

    You should contact Apple. You must uninstall and reinstall the application, and the only way to do that is from a disc.

  • Easy set-up configuration

    I shot a project in DV wide screen format 16:9 (on mini-DV tape), in capturing the footage in FCE using Easy Set-up should the FORMAT drop down be set to NTSC (I'm in the States) and should the USE drop down be set to DV-NTSC Anamorphic? (The other USE drop down options have 32 kHz, Anamorphic Basic, Firewire Basis or DV Converter.)
    I know this is a lame question but I've read through the FCE manual and am just not finding a direct answer.
    Thanks!!

    Those are indeed the correct settings.

  • How to reset easy set up settings

    How do I reset my easy set up settings so I can find a better way to capture footage from my Canon Vixia HV30 to FCE? I have been using 'Format - HD' and 'Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60' and I can import footage in that setup but I am looking for a better way which will allow me to use the Capture Window (it lists the Capture Bin/Reel/Name/Description/Scene/etc.) so I can label and organize my footage -- this Capture Window doesn't seem to be available by the aforementioned method -- so I want to try another method but to do that I have to reset my easy set up settings. Thanks for your help.

    but it's the time duration between the 'in' and 'out' points (timecode?) that >I'm not sure about. Is this information essential for logging before I start >doing editing or does organizing essentials just consist of naming the file/bin >in the Tape # I am working on?
    Are you in _List View_ in the Browser?
    FCE does not allow for Timecode In/Out points to be added in Browser columns, we all face the same deal unless you move to FCP.
    The Duration of the clip is however. If you cannot see the Duration Column right click in the any heading column except the Name column and it will bring up a list of all availble, you add or delete as required.
    In List View the clips are added in linear time fashion the top one being first.
    It's normal behaviour for HDV footage to be broken at the Camera start/stop points so you end up with a bunch of clips in the Browser knowing at least which came first and last if time is important to your Project.

  • Easy Set Up settings- ? any difference in result between the D-NTSC & AVCHD

    I have just spent a few days starting to understand and work with FCE. My first project was to get my AVCHD materials sitting on Sony Memory sticks into my computer for later use. I finished, but realized I may have done something essentially wrong.
    My objective is to get the maximum data quality into my HDD and subsequent projects. My shoot source material is AVCHD at max HD at full HD resolution 1920 x 1080.
    When moving on to MY next project which was to start capturing Analog video, I was studying and I read about Easy Set Up. This 'window' never came up when I installed FEC. Now, I see that the Easy SetUp that was in play for all of my ingesting of my AVCHD material was as follows: Format - all formats, Rate - All Rates and Use -DV-NTSC
    I see now there are other set ups and now need to understand...
    1) Should I have used a different Easy Set up for the AVCHD capture e.g. - Format = HD , Rate = 29.97fps, and Use = AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920X 1080i60 ?
    2) Is there any difference to the Capture Scratch files I created having used the wrong (?) Easy Set Up ... = Format = all formats, Rate = All Rates and Use = DV-NTSC ....VERSUS .... the Easy Set Up I noticed later which is ... Format = HD , Rate = 29.97fps, and Use = AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920X 1080i60 ?
    In short, have I messed up and created .MOV files that will not be at the best possible quality and use for editing later?
    I am more than happy to redo all my capturing to get the best results.
    THANKS

    Thanks Tom...
    To clarify please... confirm or correct (I am accomplishing some learning here )
    If I hear you right ... because I ingested the material through the Log and Transfer function (for my AVCHD footage), the settings found in the Easy SetUp don't apply. It would appear that for that Log and Transfer function all ingested AVCHD is done with a default setting at all times. In Log and Transfer I found settings in preferences to import, putting the video at AIC and there is no alternate (other than for sound)Also the settings .
    I opened QT M.Inspector and saw the following: Format = Apple Intermediate Codec, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), Millions,16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz & Current Size = 1888 x 1062 pixels (Actual)
    I think that this means that even thigh the pre-set is at 1440 x 1080 , that I actually achieve closer to the 1920 x 1080 result ... because of the size of the actual file itself?
    So .. to summarize my inquiry ... from what I am leaning... As long as I ingest AVCHD in the Log and Transfer function I will always get the maximum result in resolution and file size. And that the settings I found in ESU are for tape capture only.
    Thanks Tom ... I see you are busy on another forum as well. I appreciate all you are doing. If you see me again please understand that I do appreciate the help. I learn in a very different way than normal. After surviving a plane crash doing volunteer help work, and dealing with resulting head injuries the process and flow for me is different and a challenge. I started by learning to read again

  • Easy set up for MPEG-4?

    Can anyone advise me what easy setup specs to use for MPEG-4, 640 x 480 at 30 fps? I can get the video to work, but not the audio.
    Thanks.

    Hence the problem with mpeg4; the audio format doesn't play out in FCP.
    Why not convert the footage into a format that matches an easy set up on FCP complete with aiff audio?

  • What "easy set up" use to use

    I have a Sony HXR-MC50U camera. What setting should I choose in FCE "easy set up"?
    Signal system is:
    NTSC
    AVCHD: 1080 - 59.94i/60i
    MPEG-2: 480 - 59.94i/60i
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the speedy response. I don't have that option in my drop down box - would it be
    HDV - Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 ?

  • What is the best FC Pro Easy Set up for video shot with an iPhone 4?

    what is the best FC Pro Easy Set up for video shot with an iPhone 4?

    There isn't one. You have to convert the media to one of the ProRes codecs, probably ProRes LT would work best. You need to do this in Compressor.
    Easy setup isn't relevant as it's options are for tape based media, which this isn't.

  • 'Easy Set-up' Option - Problem with edit canvas/windows - really need help!

    Hello Everyone. . .
    Have a problem that i really need help with, i have tried so many different things to sort this - but with no sucess.
    I usually work in High Definition and i have recently done a small project for someone in DV. When changing to work in DV, i selected the DV setup from the 'Easy Setup' menu. I have now changed back to HD and there are a few things different with Final Cut that i can't shift!
    When i move a clip from the capture bin into the edit window, the clip no longer fills that window like it always used to and there are lines at the top and the bottom of the clip - almost like it is in widescreen.
    Editing like this wasn't too much of a problem, but when i came to compress and do a final render of the whole film - there was the same black lines on the top and bottom of the film.
    I can't figure out how to get the setting back to how they were, and have the clips fill the edit windows and fix the end render/compress.
    Any ideas from anyone on what i am experiancing with all this? And. . . how to fix this problem?
    Any help on all this will be very much appreciated!

  • Easy Set UP...help with settings.

    Hello.... If you can help me set up EASY SETUP correctly you'll be my hero!
    Hi, I'm using FCE and 3 different types of footage and cannot get the settings right;   exported files are tiny, have big letter boxes, etc
    Here are the files and types:
    #1:  
    Dimentions:  1920 x 1080
    Apple Intermediate Codec, Linear PCM
    ColorProfile    HD (1-1-1)
    Bit rate:   86,137
    #2   (kodak zi6)
    Dimentions  1280 x 720
    Codecs   H.264,ACC
    Bit rate, 9,489
    #3
    .MPEG-4
    640 x 480
    Codecs   MPEG-4, AAC
    Bit rate:   6,242
    Now...how do I get this thing going to make it work?   (I understand I have different qualities of video..but it's for YOUTUBE so it doesn't have to be cinema ready.   Just good. 
    Also...do I need to create a new project?  I've done a decent amount of editing and hate the thought of re-doing all of the searching through the files to find the right parts, etc.
    Thanks very much in advance.

    Dunno. Never opened FCE.
    Upon ingest, you convert your H.264 and MPEG4 to ProResLT. Set your sequence to ProResLT. The NTSC-sized stuff will be a problem.
    Your AIC is not a good idea at all unless you know what to do with it and why you have it. In that case, you want everything converted to AIC and use an AIC sequence.

  • Easy Set Up for iPhone movies

    Hi kids. How should I set the EASY SETUP for movies I take with my iPhone? The quality is poor, and I wanna get it set right.
    Thanks (in advance) for your help.

    You can't really edit that material in FCE. You can use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to DV, but the quality will not be great.
