FCP 5.1.2 upgrade now no communication with Sony FX1 HDV Camcorder

Hi - I recently upgraded to FCP 5.1.2 then tried to capture footage with my Sony FX1 HDV camcorder, but the software indicates that it cannot initialize my device. The only way it will work is when I change the capture settings to HDV Apple Intermediate Codec, but then this setting requires rendering.
The camcorder works fine in iMovie, so I know it is not that. If I reinstall FCP 5.1, then everything works fine, but not with the 5.1.2 upgrade.
I've also tried "trashing" my FCP settings for a fresh start, but nothing changed. I checked the settings on the camera, but they are fine. Again everything works in iMovie. Finally, I also removed the recommended QT files and reinstalled QT, but no change.
Any suggestions? I'd just stay at FCP 5.1, but I now have several projects in 5.1.2 that are not backward compatible.
Thanks!

This worked for me. Probably something in this sequence caused Firewire, FCP or the Digital Mystery Gods to re-align:
1. Simplify the Firewire routing among external hard drives. On its own this didn't produce a positive result, but it may have contributed somehow. In particular, avoid multiple loops among hard drives. Not a likely suspect, because the Z1U was directly connected to the front Firewire jack.
2. From the FCP Install/upgrade/crossgrade disks, load the latest QMaster software. It's in the Extras folder and is called AppleQmasterNode.mpkg.
3. Reload from the same upgrade disks a fresh FCP. It won't have the latest enhancements—and that may be an issue—but it will reload. Uncheck the rest of the options when loading this in. FCP seems to be the only program with a connection issue.
4. Update the reload. Software update now brings FCP 5 up to FCP 5.1.2 but I would swear I saw 5.1.3 in the update download. Perhaps not. The result says 5.1.2 and now it recognizes what only iMovie HD had recognized before; the Z1U camera.
I know a lot of folks seem to have parallel-sounding issues. A lot of advice seems to focus on "toss the prefs", "fix the permissions", "sprinkle the chicken blood", etc. but none of those had any effect on this issue for me.
The one thing I THINK worked was the QMaster/FCP second re-upgrade.

Capture Sony FX1 HDV footage in FCP 5.0.4

Hi,
Tomorrow we'll have to capture a lot of footage from a Sony FX1 HDV.
I have no experience with this camcorder.
What are the best capture settings in FCP ?
We want the native HDV footage.
thanks

The best capture settings are those that match how you shot the footage.
If it is HDV1080i/60, then obviously you elect the capture preset.

FCP 6.0.6 will not recognize my new Sony HVR-Z7U camcorder

I cannot capture any mini DV fotage from this camcorder (Sony HVR-Z7U) into FCP.
Im using I link 1394 6pin from the camera to the computer.
Wrong wiring? or settings in camcorder?

Thanks Nick and all,
Most of my videos are shot in HD 30p. That being said, Nicks Easy Set up instructions got my camera to work with FCP. Go figure. I guess now I'll just need to pay attention to my sequence settings.
I thought since I shot in HD, setting the camcorder in DV NTSC mode would not run the camcorder in HD for FCP. That was my original thought, so I keeep trying all the HD capture presets. It's working, hope it is capturing in HD.

Need urgent help with communicating with the HP 4155B analyser with Labview

i folks,
I'm currently trying to communicate with our HP 4155B semiconductor pamaremter analyser. I do not have experience with GPIB yet. I have installed the NI VISA.
I was wondering if anyone could help with getting me started on how to start communicating with the device using Labview.
I'm not certain where to start.
Kind regards
Rob

Hi,
Thanks for the help. I now have communication with the instrument.
I was wondering if it's possible to to setup a data measurement (I-V Sweep) and be able to read the measurement data in realtime as it is being measured. So I basically see the graph updating itself on the PC during the measurement.
Is this possible? Could anyone give advice on how I can go about this or are there any examples that can help me understand how to do this?
I'm not completely sure how to initialise the instruemnt for communication and handle VISA WRITEs and READs. within LabView
Best regards
Rob

Upgrade now or later?

Need the opinion of those who know.
I am in the middle of dance recital season, 6 shot, 6 more to go. Do you think CS6 is stable enough and provides enough improvements over CS5.5 to upgrade now? Or should I wait until the shows are finished. (2 months from now)
I'm going to upgrade, it's just a mater of when. I'm afraid of upgrading and having issues that delay the production of the projects.
I know my machine is up to the task, thanks to the knowledge of the "Gurus" here on the forums, so that is not an issue. Just want to make sure there aren't any bugs that need to be dealt with before running smoothly.
Thanks!
Jason

Thanks for your input, however, a "soft and blurry" image in the multi-cam window is hardly an issue that negates upgrading from CS5.5 to CS6. The resolution of the Multi-cam editor shouldn't be an issue as it is for the quick and easy edit of multiple cameras at one time. I believe the rest of us use the timeline to do the main editing.
And not neccessarily aimed at Huntson, but in general, I keep seeing posts by people that say something about "I could do X in FCP" or "FCP had X". From what I've seen and heard, FCP took a major dive and that is why alot of those people are here. It's obviouse that Adobe is the better product, or there wouldn't be so many converts. If you have something you liked in FCP and it isn't here, or doesn't perform the way you think it should, then turn in a feature request. Adobe has shown that they listen to their customers and I'm sure if enough of you say the same things, they'll make the changes needed.
As I stated in my first post, it's a matter of when, not if. I will be upgrading because the product is worth it.
If you've come from FCP, I say welcome! If you have a question, ask it. These people listed below are who I call the "Gurus", and they will definately help you in any way they can. And trust me, they will all admit if Adobe has a problem or didn't get something right. But those things are few and far between and these people know how to fix, or work around, almost anything you can come up with.

10.9.4 Upgrade HP2540 Printer Communication Down

Upgraded to 10.9.4 now HP2540 printer isn't communicating with laptop. Removed, added, reset, added...none of that worked. WiFi printing hasn't worked since I got the laptop.

Please describe for us in a little more detail - What router is it? So, wifi doesn't work? then, how did you connect before now? USB?
What printer model - the complete name, please?
Look here - you'll see why I'm asking for the complete name:
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
The new OS X print driver paradigm is that drivers are given to Apple for inclusion on its servers, and then auto-downloaded when you add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.
You can force OS X to find all current drivers by Resetting the Printing System. Is that what you did before trying to Add the printer?

I have iMovie 09 and have successfully used an older Sony Handycam to directly capture and record. Now I have a Sony HDR-PJ230 and it is not recognized. Do I need to upgrade to iMovie 11 or ???

Now I have a Sony HDR-PJ230 and it is not recognized in iMovie09. Do I need to upgrade to iMovie 11 or ???

Hi jcm2656,
iMovie ’09 does not support the Sony HDr-PJ230 camcorder. See this article for a list of cameras supported for that version of iMovie -
iMovie '09: Camcorder Support
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290#1
iMovie ’11 however, does support it. See this article -
Apple - iLife '11 Help - iMovie ’11 Supported Cameras
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
Note that iMovie does not support footage recorded in 1080-60p from this Camcorder.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

TS1702 I tried to download the upgrade, now it won't install and I can not access my documents. It said Vi did not have enough space for the upgrade so I made room but still no luck.

What upgrade are you trying to install? Your profile shows iOS 5.1.1, which is the current max iOS.

My iPad is no longer communicating with my wireless printer since last two upgrades!

1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

In search of FCP 5.1.4 upgrade...?

I'm working on an editing project that involves two editors with two different editing stations. I'm using FCP 5.1.4, and my associate is using FCP 5.1. Last night, we tried to open a project created on a FCP 5.1.4 with Mac loaded with FCP 5.1, and received a "GENERAL ERROR 41" message.
I'm assuming this has to do with two versions of FCP that are only upward-compatible?
I've repaired permissions, Google-searched for "GENERAL ERROR 41" solutions, and it seems like this is probably the problem.
I tried to download the FCP 5.1.4 upgrade, but I haven't had any luck finding it. It's as if Apple wanted to deny folks a chance to upgrade. Very weird.
Anyone out there have any ideas where I might be able to get this upgrade?

Wes
My users and I all thank you for this link. It's a lifesaver!
-Philip
P.S. I must say I am appalled at Apple's apparent hypocrisy: Final Cut 5.1.4 not only fixed bugs and adds support for new cameras, but is required for Leopard. Yet there is no way to obtain an update past 5.0.4 via real Apple channels. A call to Apple got me as far as a level-1 tech who told me "there was a paid update to 5.1.2, but it ended last year" (almost true - that update was from 5.0, was a Universal build, and included new media); I am awaiting a call from a supervisor tomorrow, who hopefully has some actual facts at hand regarding all this. The updates from 5.1 were all free and available though Apple.com or Software Update, until Apple pulled them in a very clear move to force users to pay for the FC Studio 2 upgrade. How positively Microsoftian of them.

I just purchased adobe export, yet when I sign in, I am taking to a page asking me to upgrade now?

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
You can double check this yourself:
First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.
