Fce 4 and the JVC's 700 and 100(pal)

Purchased two JVCs the 700 and the 100... will these work with FCE4

It's hard to tell you whether they are compatible until we actually see the specs for the cameras. Perhaps you could point us to the specs pages or give the full name of the model of the cameras?
Please help us to help you.

FCE 4 and JVC GZ-HD6

The log and transfer in FCE isn't recognizing the camera. Does anyone know the settings?
Thanks,
Will Fielding

Hi Will and welcome to the forum,
FCE only supports DV, HDV, and AVCHD media at 60i, 30p, 50i, or 25p frame rates. The JVC GZ-HD6 records onto an internal hard disk drive in a MPEG-2 format that is not AVCHD, at a frame rate of 60p. Unfortunately, FCE does not support this camcorder. Final Cut Pro might, but FCE definitely doesn't.
Sorry to bear the bad news...

FCE4.0.1 won't open when the App Icon is clicked. I've checked all Ext HD (verified prefs)- have trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from FCE discs, have downloaded the Plug In. I clicked on the FCE icon, the windows that says :registered to...and then l

FCE 4.0.1 won't open when I click the icon in the Dock or in the Applications icon of FCE. It had been working well but I had trouble when I trashed the reference Scratch disk to a project and I was asked to get it back. I checked all my drives through verify in Disk Utility and a couple needed repair - eventually were given the OK. I then Shut Down and rebooted, I then trashed the FCE App and reinstalled from the Install discs and , finally, I tried opening a FCE project. None of these caused the FCE App to open with Browser, Viewer, Canvas,. Time Line. All that happens is the the first FCE window, the one that says FCE registered to...and the other that says loading AE Effects, Video Effects does show but then nothing except my Desktop with it's various folders and files I also downloaded the Plug In Tom Wolsky suggested to a recent query.
All I can think of is to backup everything to HDs and take this iMac in for a service.It is only six months old - I reckon it will be poor driving by it's proud but unskilled driver!

Don't panic . . . . . yet!
You may not have trashed FCE properly.
Deleting the application icon is useless as there are a number of files hidden elsewhere which may be corrupt.
Download this free app to uninstall FCE completely and then reinstall it.

I know it is called FCS Remover but it also works for FCE.

I've been giving HD videos in MTS format and convert the for editing in FCE. Looks good in the program, but when I export the finished film, quality had been noticeable diminished. Is there any way to prevent FCE from lowering the output quality?

Hello -
I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE. It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished. Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
Thanks.

>I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

Format, use and rate in easy setup with the JVC gy-hm100u

Hi. I am about to start using Final Cut studio with my JVC gy-hm100u camcorder. What format, use and rate should I choose in the easy set up?

sorry missed out some info:
There is a specific codec listed in FCP set up for the JVC GY-HM100, it is only available in version Final Cut Pro 6.04 and later.
In FCP pro v 7 you simply drag and drop to the timeline
Earlier versions of FCP do not support the camera.
The codec used is an XDCam EX codec

Does anyone know if MOV or MP4 files from the JVC GY-HM150U will work with the Camera Connection Kit and then be readable by iMovie or similar apps?

The JVC GY-HM150U camera and others in it's line say they offer recording in two different formats:
Native .MOV format
Fastest HD shoot to edit workflow. Edit immediately on Final Cut Pro™ or Premiere™ without conversion or transcoding
Native .MP4(XDCAM-EX™) format
Native File Recording
Because it uses QuickTime™ as its native file format, the GY-HM150U is the perfect choice for users of Apple's Final Cut Pro™ editing system. Both HD and SD MOV files recorded by the camcorder can be dropped directly into Final Cut Pro™, keeping them first-generation and eliminating the time-consuming process of file conversion.For users of all major NLE systems, including solutions from Adobe, Avid, Grass Valley, Vegas and Apple, the GY-HM150U supports the MP4 file format, which can be brought into your editing system without re-encoding.

and the files recorded to folders labeled "CQAV" (.MOV) or "BPAV" (.MP4), respectively, located in /PRIVATE/JVC/ off the root.
So will the Camera Connection Kit see them properly and transfer them over to Photos, and then will iMovie be able to handle them? Or is the CCK restricted to only formats derived from DSLR cameras with "DCIM" folders, as I have heard?
Any knowledge, especially first hand testing, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
David

Changes made to correct the recorded file paths.

Excuse the late post but just wondering if you came up with a solution for this problem? I experienced the exact same issue but copying the movies from Aperture into iTunes (which worked) still didn't allow them to be played on the iPad. As they had played faultlessly when imported directly from the camera connection kit!

Am having intermittent difficulty rendering in FCE. Using the Sequence menu sometimes delivers results and Command R fails every time. Most frustrating. Any thoughts from anyone? Thanks.

Michael,
There is a forum for Final Cut Express I'd recommend re-posting there.

Is the JVC SR-DVM700 compatible with Macs and Final Cut Studio HD?

Hello all.
The company I work for is seriously thinking about purchasing the JVC SR-DVM700 next week (based on my recommendations). What I have discovered however is that there are very little user reviews and even less info on whether it is compatible with Final Cut Studio HD. Everything I have found 'seems' to indicate that it will work but I need a definite answer. The lack of user info makes me a little nervous.
Here are my questions:
If this system is incompatible, what would be a good alternative within the same price range?
What (if any), are the problems that crop up while using it and are they easily fixed?
What are your general thoughts on the system?
I really like the idea of a MiniDV, DVD and hard drive all in one machine but I need more info in case I need to put the brakes on this purchase.
Thanks for all your help.
Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM (working on getting more)

This is a FCP HD, but no Final Cut Studio HD
My guess is that you are trying to run FCP 4.5 HD on an Intel Mac.
It isn't reliable even if you could install it.
You need FCS2 -- at the upgrade price.

Will the JVC GY-HD 100 work with FCE

I was wondering if anyone has experience with the JVC GY-HD 100. Does it work will with FCE?
I tried doing a search in this forum but nothing really came of it. I looked in Apples qualified Devises page.
JVC GY-HD100U is the model they listed. Whats the difference in the "U"?
I am going to rent it for the weekend for 186.00 which is cheap around here.
I do have QP and the MPEG-2 Playback. If that makes a difference.

After a weekend of screwing around I got it to work in dv-ntsc mode but not in hdv (which is what I wanted). As for the system profiler, I am starting to think there is something wrong with leopard because once I got it to recognize the camera, a bunch of times it just said firewire 400 and the rest of the times it said unable to read firewire.
What I am hoping for is to record in 720p and then capture the same but so far it doesn't seem possible. I guess what I am hoping for is a definite "yes, hdv from the gy-hd100 is compatible with OS X 10.5 and FCE 4.0" so I can start blaming firewire cables etc.
Thanks for the help

FCE 4 and 4.0.1 compatibility issue:

FCE 4 and 4.0.1 compatibility issue:
While using Final Cut Express 4.0.1 on one machine I save (saves as .fcp) and now when I try to open the same file to continue editing, on a machine running Yosemite, and FCE 4 it gives an error message saying "This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut". I have worked this way before (not ideal), I am wondering if the 4.0.1 update is still available and if so where?
Any Help would be great.
Yosemite (10.10.01) and Os X (10.5.8)

Does Compressor 3.5 Conflict With FCE 4 And LiveType?

Last week my Compressor 3.5 app suddenly refused to open.
I tried all the usual remedies including deleting it with FCS Remover but to no avail.
Eventually it was cured by deleting all the FCS 3 apps and reinstalling.
This morning Compressor once again refused to open with the original "There is a problem . . . " error message.
Now I realised I had done something an hour before.
I had just installed FCE 4 and LiveType that comes with it.
I believe I had also done the same before last week's problem.
It looks as though there is something about the installing of FCE 4 and/or LiveType that Compressor 3.5 does not like.
I used FCS 2 together with FCE 4/LT for a couple of years with no apparent conflict.
I have got everything going again by deleting all the FCS 3 apps and reinstalling . . . . not FCE 4 and LT of course!
I'm wondering whether it is caused by both of them or just one . . . . maybe LT.
Perhaps installing FCE 4 and LT before installing FCS 3 would work?
I could find out by experimenting but I think I've done enough reinstalling!

Thanks Jon.
I felt it might be something to do with the older FCE/LT installing outdated shared assets.
A couple of hours ago I successfully installed LiveType without it affecting FCS 3.
I installed it on another Mac and then simply copied the application across. I figured that FCS 3 would probably have already installed any "hidden" files LT would need and I seem to have been proved correct.
I think it will probably work with FCE but I am not feeling quite brave enough today!

FCE AVCHD and Importing

Hello,
I'm trying to import AVCHD files from a Sony HDR-SR11 to FCE 3.5 using Voltaic and the import time is excruciatingly slow (roughly 12x real time). I understand that FCE 4 works with AVCHD files but I'm also reading posts on this forum and elsewhere complaining about the slow import times.
Can someone please tell me if an upgrade to FCE 4 will dramatically improve AVCHD import times? I don't want to purchase/upgrade only to find out I'm right where I began. Anything close to real time import would be a huge improvement since I'm working with shorter clips.
Thanks for your help!

Are you converting the videos to QuickTime using Apple Intermediate Codec? (that is, with Voltaic?)
Correct. I'm currently using Voltaic to convert the MTS files to Quicktime/AIC. This allows me to import and edit without rendering in FCE 3.5. And it is so sloooooow.
Are you talking about Voltaic taking 12x real time; or importing the clips into FCE taking that long?
I'm talking about Voltaic talking so long. I have to convert them before importing them in to FCE 3.5. After being transcoded, the files are fine and FCE 3.5 is great.
So, I'm curious if others are having super long import times with FCE 4 and directly logging/transcoding within vs using a third-party app like Voltaic.
Again, once the clips are converted to AIC they work great in FCE 3.5 on Snow Leopard. Don't think that is the issue. The issue is converting from MTS to AIC.
Will FCE 4 do a quicker job than Voltaic?
Thanks for your replies!

FCE 2 and Tiger and iLife 05 or Leopard and iLife 08? on G5 Power Mac 2.5

I want to do basic and advanced editing with my FCE 2
I have Quicktime pro and Apple TV and Airport Extreme Base Station that I am about to hook up and integrate with my computer and Television.
Should I leave well enough alone with my Tiger and iLife 05 or should I install a full version of Leopard and iLife 08
I'm thinking I need the Leopard and 08 for the Apple TV and Airport Extreme Base Station.
Should I go ahead and put the Leopard and 08 and Quicktime Pro and UPGRADE to FCE 4, I can do this?
But will my old 2004 G5 2.5 Dual handle all this.
I could as easily stay with Tiger and FCE 2 and 05 except for the Apple TV and the Extreme Base Station.
Sorry I'm so long. I'm totally confused?

I'm one of the ones that got hurt really bad when Apple went from the G5 to Intel
I paid $3500 in Dec 2004 for what I thought was going to be the center of a Recording and Video Studio for music Video's and Documentaries.
I lost three years due to health matters and my Applecare expired Dec 2007
I'm trying to recover and start filming and recording.
I know that I will have to go with a new Intel PowerMac 8 core to run Final Cut Studio 2 beginning one year from now. I can't afford it now.
I'm trying to buy stuff that will work with the new Intel and my old G5 for now.
I bought the AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and an Apple TV in September to integrate with my new Panasonic Plasma 42" High Definition TV and a ONKYO 7.1 Home Theater System. $900 for the TV and $300 for the ONKYO
I bought a Canon HV20 High Definition and Standard Definition Camcorder to film with.
I want to shoot and film and edit sound and video on my current Mac until I get the newer computer and software that I am going to need to accomplish my goal of near professional quality in all facets. So this is the first step. I will be able to run all this stuff but compatibility issues are killing me because of the G5 Intel Changeover.
The learning curve I am trying to lessen by getting as near as I can to what next year will be fully modern and state of the art Apple Equipment and Software instead of piecemeal like I'm doing. I'm trying to lesson my losses the best I can and get this thing going without losing any more valuable time. I am 63 years old and couldn't set a watch seven years ago. It has taken me this long to get somewhat of a handle on what I knew was unimagined capability for a common man with all this new technology.
I bought the Leopard thinking I needed it. I can not use it and resell it pretty easily. I have no tech support, I'm trying to get this thing to work.

Can I go back n forth between FCE HD and iMovie?

Hey all, I'm new to FCE HD and I love love love it. But I still need to use some of my iMovie crutches while getting up to speed. I recently shot a wedding in HDV and pulled all the clips together in FCE HD. Can I move the clips to quicktime and then load them into iMovie HD to do additional effects WITHOUT loosing my high def quality? I'm not so concerned about the audio "becoming one with" the video...
-james

I'n no HiDefer , but using the 'Apple Intermediate Codec', which is internally in use for handling HiDef-imports in both apps, should keep the quality lossless ..-
