Errors Using AJA IO LA & Final Cut Pro with iMac

Has anyone experienced difficulties getting analog video through an AJA IO LA into an iMac? Control panel on AJA reads no video in or out & when Final Cut is launched I keep getting the following error message: "Unable to open specified video output device, may be in use by other applications, incorrectly connected or may be conflicting with a sound input device." If I continue into Final Cut, I am unable to capture and also have received the following error message: "An Error occurred while configuring QuickTime using the current capture preset. Please quit Final Cut Pro and check your hardware configuration"

I have no experience with the product you are using, but after looking at their website and the system requirements, it occurred to me that they only mention Power PCs and OS X Panther or later. So the problem might be that their hardware/software is not compatible with Snow Leopard, which included major changes. Have you tried contacting them to ask if your particular model is compatible with an Intel Mac and 10.6?

  • Final cut pro with imac g5 (older version)

    I purchased an imac g5 about a year ago. I've upgraded the RAM to 768 and thats about it. I want to install final cut pro. I know I need to upgrade the RAM to at least 1 gig and get more hard drive space. Is there anything else i should do? Any precautions?
    Thanks!!!!

    I had all sorts of problems bus sharing my DV (or HDV) camera with an external FW Drive, although I never tried plugging the camera into the drive itself - but you do have two options:
    1) Capture using the internal drive.
    2) Use a USB2 interface for the external drive.
    I found both workable, some people have had trouble with USB2 drives, but I find the interface is faster than the base drive speed for single stream work - your mileage may vary. I am using the Lacie triple interface drive.
    Use the system profiler to work out which USB port is not shared with any other, because if you have your mouse / keyboard or Bluetooth adaptor on the same internal hub as the drive, they will all be reduced to USB1.1 - and you definitely can't capture to that. I found one port on the powerbook was on its own bus, one was shared with the BT adaptor - go Apple -> About this Mac -> More Info to run the profiler, or run it from Applications -> Utilities.

    MPEG-4 is  delivery framework and should never be used in production. At the very leasgt you should optimize the media when you import it.

    Another update to my burning problem...in my movies folder there is an img file (states it is a classic disk image-2.82GB) after I have tried burning a DVD unsuccessfully and when I open the img file I see 1) AUDIO_TS AND 2) VIDEO_TS files. I 'control' clicked the file and tried burning this folder onto a disc. Result it seemed to burn both files onto DVD but still couldn't view video.

  • What do you use to speed up final cut pro x on my macbook pro early 2011?

    what do you use to speed up final cut pro x on my macbook pro early 2011?

    I  don't use anything to speed up FCP X on your MBP. 
    Seriously we need statistical info on why you think it needs speeding up.
    Poor performance is often associated with incorrect usage, lots of other apps open or a hard drive that is more than 75% full or fragmented.
    Ideally all the media should be stored on an external hard drive and not the MBP's.

  • How to import MXF files to Final Cut Pro with smooth editing

    Summary: Follow this tutorial to learn how to import and edit MXF files in Final Cut Pro by converting MTS to FCP native format.
    If you have a Panasonic P2, Canon XF or Sony XDCAM series camcorder,
    you may be familiar with Material eXchange Format (MXF). Though MXF is a
    great video format to record high-definition videos, it is not easy to
    use in that they are not natively supported by most NLE systems like
    Final Cut Pro. In order to import MXF to FCP for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode MXF files to FCP compatible video formats.
    Along with some help from a top MXF Converter, it can be done. To
    help those who wanna edit MXF files in FCP without problems, here I
    share with you a simple guide on how to convert MXF files to edit in
    Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X.
    First of all, downloading the App- Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac
    Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use MXF Converter
    on Mac (Mavericks included) which can not only convert XF100, Canon
    C300, XF105 and XF305, Panasonic P2 recorded MXF files, but also provide
    simple video editing functions for you. The MXF to FCP Converter not
    only can convert MXF to ProRes for FCP, but also can transcode MXF
    videos for editing in Avid MC, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, FCE, etc.
    Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.
    Transcoding (P2) MXF files to ProRes for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X
    1. Import MXF files to the converter
    Launch the best MXF to FCP Converter, and then click the “add files” button to browse and import MXF videos from your camcorder or hard drive.
    2. Select FCP editable format
    Click the Format bar, and move mouse cursor to choose “Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” as output format.
    Tips:
    a. Settings- click to set video
    resolution(1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate (from 1Mbps to
    20Mbps), frame rate (24p/30p)
    b. Editor (next to “Add” icon)- click to set deinterlace, trim, crop, add effect, attach subtitles, etc
    3. Start transcoding MXF video to FCP
    Click “Convert” button to start converting MXF files to Apple ProRes
    MOV for FCP 6/7/X under Mac OS. Once the MXF to ProRes 422 conversion
    is done, you can transfer MXF footage into Final Cut Pro (X) for editing
    smoothly on Mac with ease.

  • How to minimize Final Cut pro with one click?

    I know you can minimize windows (canvas, timeline, etc) by pressing Command+M 4 times but how to minimize Final Cut pro with one click?

    Hold down the Option key and click the Minimize button on any window, all windows in the app will minimize.
    Don't know what or if the reverse of this is - so although it's a one click minimize all windows, I believe you have to re-enlarge them one at a time.

  • How to use Final Cut Pro with multiple user accounts?

    Hi,
    I want to use Final Cut Pro on a clean user account. How do I set it up? How can I access my old FCP library and still work on it from multiple users?
    Also, I want my DropBox account to back-up my media. Any tips?

    I use external drives as backup. But I don't trust them. And in case of fire or what ever...It is of no use...
    But I agree on your comment about DropBox. It would have been the perfect solution though.
    What else is there?
    I have a 2TB HD but these projects are huge and still growing - so I have to move my projects to several external drives. So maybe I should just work directly from external drives and skip the partition of the computers main drive? I am thinking of the disadvantage of reducing the total storage of the disk.

  • How to use Final Cut pro with external hard drive?

    I have too little space on my computer so I have to use final cut pro x with an external hard drive, but whenever I have the hard drive plugged in and Final cut going, my computer goes very slow. I just upgraded to 16gb ram... but can't seem to run FCP x while an external hard drive is plugged in. FCP just freezes up and I have to force quit.

    all the files and events in final cut are still on my internal, so my internal drive is still full.... Do I have to go and delete everything off my internal?
    In addition to the excellent advice to keep your media on an external HDD, you need to make sure that your system (boot) drive has a decent amount of free space if you want to have a satisfactory editing experience. Many people recommend not going below 20% free space. That's especially so for the boot drive, but as you fill up the external, its performance will also slow. Ideally, we would have separate media and backup drives,
    You don't need to "delete everything". Rather, you first figure out what needs to be moved. You copy those files to the other drive and then verify that all the files you copied are in two locations. At that point you can delete those files from your boot drive.
    Good luck.

  • Can I use Motion 5 without Final Cut Pro but maybe for iMovie?

    Hi guys, if I buy Motion 5 can I use it to create a project without Final Cut Pro or X or what ever?! And can I create transitions for iMovie?
    Thanks

    Stelo08, yes, Motion will export in a handful of formats.
    h264 is the most popular, but did not support transparency, which you would likely want if you wanted to do lower thirds (titles).
    Motion will export in prores 444 which which supports transparency, but I do not know if it works in imovie.
    (I tried it in Camtasia 2.3 and it did not there, but it seemed to work in ScreenFlow 4.03)
    Additionally, you can import video footage into Motion, so worst case scenario, you could pull a shorter scene into motion, do your overlays, export that scene and then add it back into imovie.

  • PLZ  HOW I CAN T  USE THE COMPRESSOR AFTER FINAL CUT PRO X  WHY???????

    HOW I CAN EXPORT MY VIDEO FROM FINAL CUT PRO X TO COMPRESSOR TO YOUTUBE???

    You don't need to use Compressor. In FCP, Share>You Tube and then choose the quality setting you want.
    Alternatively you can use Compressor to give you more control over your settings. If so, choose Share and either  export a master file and bring that into Compressor…or SHare>Add Destination>Compressor settings.
    Good luck.

  • Using Photoshop images in Final Cut Pro 6

    when using photoshop images (drawn images not photos) in Final Cut Pro, why do they blur when rendered??  What settings should I use when creating the images in Photoshop CS2 to be compatible with FCP 6?

    You're in the wrong forum.
    For FCP 1 to 7 you need the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • Problem exporting video using compressor for a final cut pro vid

    I've created a video in Final Cut Pro and trying to export using compressor to apple tv. Each time about half way through it crashes final cut and gives me the 'final cut pro had to quit unexpectedly'.
    Haven't a clue what is going on, it happened sometimes when i was trying to conform to HD but when i did it bit by bit it was ok.
    All the media is online so really haven't a clue. I've tried using quicktime conversion in pro-res then bashing into compressor and it works but interlacing is all over the shop, even with de-interlace filter.
    ANy answers with regards to why its crashing greaty appreciated!
    P.S when it crashes says something about a pro-core plugin

    Hi Jim,
    Can you update your profile, we don't know what your hardware set up is or your OS, or version of FCS. It could give you answers a lot faster if we know your details from the off.
    Ok, what format is your original media, what are your sequence settings please.
