FCP 6-Working with DV, any disadvantages to H.264 export?

I am working in DV, I want to reduce final files size by exporting using Quicktime Conversion> H.264, I want to know if there are any disadvantages to using this codec for the final exported file?
Thank you,
Sebastian

IT is perfect as your final export type. Nothing wrong with it.

1080p. Can FCP X work with it?

I have a client (wildlife researcher) who needs to create some QT files for a scientific project. He needs the highest frame rate possible (he has a prosumer camera that shoots 1080p) Can FCP X work with 1080p? I told him that 720p has the same frame rate but he would like the added resolution. What do I do?
Best.

Since FCPX will let you create a custom 1080p project with the following frame rate options:
23.98p, 24p, 25p, 29.97p, 30p, 50p, 59.94p and 60p
I would say: yes, FCPX will support a 1080/60p project for the highest available frame rate. However, realize that 1080p can be *any* of those listed frame rates. The only thing you can discern for sure by "1080p" is that the video is single field "progressive" and not interlaced.
1080/60p is unsupported in AVCHD (so far) so your camera will either deliver some other format, and not AVCHD. The highest supported format in AVCHD (again, so far) is 1080/60i.
Other 60p size formats larger than 1080 supported by FCPX are 2K and 4K.

What earlier version of FCP will work with the intel-3processor?

The version of the CR designer that the reports were created in is really not that important. Though more on that below. What you need is Crystal Reports XI R2A (11.5.x). That is the last version of CR to ship the Report Designer Component (RDC) that you are presumably using at this time. Note that this version is out of support thus no fixes, no phone support, though we welcome your queries on these forums. To obtain CR XI R2A you will have to contact sales; 866-681-3435. Do not get CR 2008 (12.x) as this version does not ship the RDC and only has the SDK for .NET and Java.
Re. version of the reports. While the version of the designer the reports were created in should not be that important, the older the designer, the more potential problems you may run into. Updating the reports to CR XI R2A is highly advised. You can do this manually by simply opening the reports in the designer and saving them - making sure they still run once that is done. Alternatively, you can do this in code by simply using the .SaveAs method, or exporting to rpt file format. This may not however update the database connectivity correctly (the database engine was completely rewritten in CR 9) and testing will be needed to make sure these reports still work. This is particularly true of your version 8 reports. Version 9 reports and later should be OK.

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's

I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's. When I export a qt from Premiere with audio it will not play on a pc only a mac. After extensive research I have narrowed down the problem to this: if you use the inspector in quicktime it looks like this
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
I have to run it thru AE to make it look like this....then it plays
DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
SOOOO the problem is the Little/Big Endian. I googled that and it looks like a file/bit structure....anyone know how/why to change it in Premiere? Because everytime I make a movie in Prem I have to drag the sequence into AE and render it there so the sounds works.....
thanks

Two questions:
1. What CODEC are you choosing when exporting on the Mac?
2. Do you have any Blackmagic hardware/software installed?
Cheers

No, FCP X will only work with Compressor 4.

FCP X works with MBP 2007

Hi,
I saw a couple of posts regarding the system requirements for FCP X. I'm working on a MBP mid-2007, the graphics card does have Open CL, but does NOT meet the official system requirements, in that it only has 128MB of VRAM.
Yet, I could download, install and can now run FCP X. I do get the beach ball a bit, but since I only plan to see what the new FCP is all about, that is good enough for me.
Hope this might be useful for some people!!
Cheers,
Colin

Hi John,
thanks, that's certainly a thought, but I'm quite happy with the current system at the moment. As I've said, I only wanted to see what the new FCP was all about. Not much, I must say. Having spent the last 10 years editing for the telly on FCP a lot, I am glad that I started honing my Avid skills again 3 years ago.
Bad move, Apple. I know you should never get "attached" to a company or a product, but when you spend so much time working with a certain tool, it does become very dear to you (and it feeds you and your family). Well, let's see what happens over the next couple of months, but for now, FCPX may both be the future and history at the same time.
Aw, sorry, got carried away.
Cheers,
Colin

FCP not working with Leopard

Every time I try and launch FCP5 Studio 2 it gives me the "This application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly." Anyone have a solution to this? Anyone else experienced this?
Do I just have to wait for an update?

Having same problem with FCP v 6.0.1 and tried the FCP Rescue 6..... Also does not work with Leopard.
I am just about to try this proceedure.
Delete the User Preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Final Cut Pro back to its original settings. This will not impact your project files, but you should verify your Scratch Disk location setting after doing this. To reset your Final Cut Pro user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences—the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
Remove the “com.apple.finalcutpro.plist” file from the Preferences folder.
Remove the “Final Cut Pro User Data” folder from the Preferences folder.
Will report shortly.

Veetle is no longer working with firefox, any idea why, or how to fix it??

As of two days ago, Veetle channels no longer appear using Firefox browser v. 8, yet seem to work perfectly fine with Google Chrome. Although similar issues have been raised in previous questions they (1) deal with earlier versions of FF, or (2) I have already attempted the posted remedies to no avail. Any idea what is causing the problem, and how to fix it? Furthermore, in your "educated guesses" below, you don't show the plugins I have for Veetle, although I do have them.

Right-click on any blank space on the Veetle page. A dialog box will appear, at the bottom will be listed "View page Info." Clicking on "View page Info" brings up a Firefox dialog box with the following tabs: General, Media, Permissions, and Security. Under the Permissions tab there are six functions listed that may be "allowed," or "blocked." Inspect the function for "Set Cookies." If this setting is checked "block," channels will not be displayed in Veetle. In order to recover the channels, "Set Cookies" must be checked for either "allow," or "allow for session."

Will FCP 7 Work with New Mac Pros?

Any indication of I will still be able to work in FCP7 on the new Mac Pro 2013? I'm not too keen on FCPX at the moment. Thanks for any info.

All true, however, FCS 2009 (aka FCS 3) does run with the current OSX (10.8.4) which is two full versions beyond the last supported one (10.6.8).
So, the real answer is, we'll have to wait and see how things play out.

with some minor hacking, you should be able to get it, HTH

My photoshop no longer works with lion, any solutions?

my photoshop and microsoft office no longer works since i upgraded to lion, and suggestions plz?

Lion doesn't support Rosetta PPC based programs, you either need to FIRST check with your third party software before upgrading a operating system or have a easy means to revert to a earlier OS version.
You can look though my extensive post here and find various ways to go back to Snow etc.

Some sites, IRS partcularly, show a form but do not update in Firefox but work with IE any fix?

When trying to use Firefox to complete lessons on the IRS Practice Lab site, numbers entered on the screen do not update the server application. IE works so it appears that the site is not accepting data from the Firefox screen. Is there a way to ensure that Firefox is compatible with sites that seem to be designed only for IE?

It is not a pdf. The initial page is https://www.linklearncertification.com/d/. On the right side of the page is a "Practice Lab" link. At this moment it seems to being maintained so is not accessible at all. It should be back up by Monday.
The problem is that when entries are made on a page they do not actually update the database. The screen "blinks" like something is happening but the return is unchanged.
I have IE but people using an Apple and Firefox cannot use the site with firefox.

Avoiding rendering in FCP when working with Quicktime sources

I do a lot of stuff which requires clips dropped in from a variety of odd sources like SnapzPro screen grabs, ripped DVD (via Handbrake), and other compressed formats in differing resolutions.
My usual method is to use Quicktime export to bring everything up to my working resolution, aspect ratio and frame rate (PAL DV 48k) before bringing in to Final Cut. Mainly because I hate the way that FCP won't play anything except stuff off tape in the timeline without rendering.
But. Using the Quicktime DV export works fine for the pictures, but audio still has to be rendered. (It's not a missmatch of sampling rates 32k/48k by the way).
Can anyone offer a set of export settings for Quicktime that I can use on my sources to get me files that work as well as stuff captured off DV tape?
Here's hoping

Have you tried the appropriate DV preset in compressor? This should bring everything up to snuff and eliminate (or at least minimize) the possiblity of operator error.
