FCP support for DVCPRO 720p50 ??

After weeks of research into the Panasonic HVX200, I finally bought one -
Fabulous camera - but what a pity one of the most important codecs (for me) isn't supported by FCP.
I had no idea any interval footage I shot would come out as 720p50 even if the camera's set up for 720p25.
(I see 720p60 is fully supported).
In August, Shane was under the impression it would be out "VERY soon"

Well, it's December now, does anyone have any idea how long soon could be?
It's a bit like buying a car and then finding there's no reverse gear!
Maybe it's my fault for not making certain every codec on the HVX is supported by FCP!
Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated - and if anyone has any experience of P2 Log (or similar) I'd love to hear from them.

There was a FCP Supermeet at IBC in Amsterdam last September.
Apple representatives were at the meet, and indicated somewhat vaguely that native editing would be supported.
Whether that will be done or not remains to be seen, as well as when and if the revised version of FCS will be released.
There is a video of the presentations at LAFCPUG.org that you can view.

Actually, I prefer working in pro res HQ due to its 10-bit and better color space capabilities.
HDD space is cheap.
But it's your call, and remember that if it is supported, expect to get the fast CPU you can. It just won't work on anything but.

Does Final Cut Pro offer native support for DVCPRO HD 720p25?

I would like to online a DVCPRO HD project on a Final Cut Pro suite with an HD i/o card, but I just wanted to make sure that the latest Final Cut Pro offers support for DVCPRO HD 720p25 before making the jump.

Thanks for the info. I will check if the production company's Blackmagic HD card supports DVCPRO 720p25.
Just for your information, we have offline edited on an Avid MC Adrenaline. We have had the biggest problems ingesting the media since we shot on a Varicam at 25p and the Avid wouldn't accept firewire. So we ended up cutting in 30i. Which now ***** since the online is a pain.
It seems like we will export an EDL per video track from the Avid, then hopefully find a company or a person who will convert our 30fps EDL to 25fps via the software EDLMax24. Then import the EDLs into a Final Cut Pro HD suite with a Blackmagic HD card via HD-SDI, and online from the HD AJ-1400 deck. And hopefully that will work.
The only outstanding thing is to find someone with EDLMAX24 since it retails at 600USD.

Native FCP support for AVCHD

Hi,
Does anyone know if Apple has indicated that it plans to eventually support the AVCHD codec natively? If so, could someone point me to where that information might be posted?
Thanks,

AVI Support for FCP

I am a film major and I have been trying for weeks to edit an AVI file in FCP but it keeps telling me that there was an unknown file type. My friend has absolutely no problem editing AVIs in FCP. I can't figure it out. Is it because I have regular QuickTime? He doesn't think he has QuickTime Pro, so what am I doing wrong?
I tried to use Compressor to make the AVI into an H264, an mpeg-2, a DVNTSC... no luck with any of them. I've tried different types to make sure it's not an AVI, too. It keeps telling me that it can't convert. I don't understand why not, but it doesn't even seem to try once I submit. It just says that it can't convert within 10 seconds of submitting. I've tried everything I can think of, even AVI to mpeg and mov converters, but none of them work.
How do you get an AVI into FCP?

How do you get an AVI into FCP?
AVI is a container, not a format, and some formats can't be used in Mac OS X through any means. Installing Perian and MPEG Streamclip may enable its import or conversion to a format Final Cut Pro can handle.
QuickTime Pro doesn't add support for any additional movie formats; it provides editing capabilities.

Macally drops support for Post-Op/iMedia FCP Keyboard on Intels

Though I doubt you can buy one anymore, and Post-Op the company I paid $180.00 to, no longer sells them, I thought I would post this info for those using it now, or finding an old one on e-bay.
PRODUCT: Post-Op EZ keyboard is just a repackaged Macally iMedia Key keyboard. You used the Macally iMedia software to program the custom button along the top, and you could program an eject button, which the new Mac Pros need, (though F12 would work for one optical bay). While the keys still work for input, without updated software you can't program the buttons now on Intel Tiger or Intel Leopard. I wrote them and this was the Christmas cheer message I received.
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting us.
I am sorry that we'll not have Intel Mac driver support for this keyboard.
For Eject, you may press and hold the F12 key for 1 second to open/close the CD tray.
If you have any question, please let me know. Wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Which HDV does FCP support?

I'm interested in shooting in HDV and cut it on FCP. But there seems to be 2 different types of HDV from Sony, and JVC. I'm quite confused:
1) Which one can be cut on FCP.
2) Can it be output to any deck such as Digibetacam?
3) Can it be input or output to a deck by component, S-video or composit? Will it lose quality?
4) does FCP support the new Panasinic P2 camera?
5) Fianlly, is there any different between the Sony & JVC HDV's, both in cameras and in Decks (if there's any)?
I'm leaning towards the JVC HDV. But if FCP does not support it, I'll have a problem.
Thanks for anyone with any insight.

1) FCP mainly supports the Sony format, but also supports the JVC format, although ONLY the 720p30 setting, not 24p. You can also use HDVxDV to convert the footage to "I" frames, which I hear is a decent way to cut HDV.
2) Yes, but only if you have a capture card. Outputting to digibeta will always require a capture card. And you will have to render your HDV footage in an SD sequence...as Digibeta is an SD format.
3) Yes, it can. This is probably the better way to import HDV footage, IMHO. With the use of an HD capture card, you can import HDV in a different HD format which is easier to work with. Lose quality, yes, some quality will be lost, but nothing you'd notice.
4) It supports the DVCPRO HD format, but as of yet there isn't a card reader for the P2 cards designed for the Mac yet. That will be remedied soon. But hey, the camera isn't even OUT yet, so patience man!
5) Yes, there is a difference. They record different flavors of HDV. Sony and Canon record using a long GOP (group of pictures) and JVC uses a short GOP.
If you lean towards the JVC, only shoot 720p30 if you intend on editing with FCP, or get an HD capture card and plenty of high speed storage if you want to capture it in a different HD format.

Support for RAW Video and Image Sequences

Being a stills photographer who moved into video some years back, I'm very interested in the direction Lightroom is going with regards to video support. I haven't tried it yet but I wondered if LR4 supports Red R3D files? And would it perhaps support other future RAW video formats from the likes of Canon and Sony? It would seem like the perfect application, perhaps intergrating with Premiere in a similar way to RedCine with FCP. Be great to be able to log footage, orginize it into bins and do basic colour correction in LR, edit the project in Premiere and re-touch in After Effects.
Another task LR would seem ideally suited to is combining image sequences into timelapse video. Shooting timelapse as an image sequence on a DSLR is pretty much standard practice these days; and I've used LR to colour correct, crop and scale my sequences (before fitting them together in Quicktime) for years now. It would be fantastic to be able to preview the clip and export the video (as DPX, ProRes or DNxHD) from within Lightroom.
These are obviously fairly long term wishes. In the short term though, the video features are pretty much useless to me without support for exporting ProRes and DNxHD files. With this LR becomes a powerful asset manager that could be used to collect together footage from multiple sources/codecs and transcode it all for editing. As mentioned in a previous thred, XML support would make it even more useful in this context. There is definitly a gap in the market for an application than can handle this kind of task well.
With other manufactures floundering or neglecting their professional user base, Adobe would seem poised to take the video post crown. I wonder if Lightroom could be part of the takeover?

As I understand it Andy, its intention is to remain a photographers program, not a videographers program. The basic video features are available for lightweight management of videos coming from digital cameras, but it's not going too much further than that at this point in time. Of course that may change in the future, but we'll all have to wait and see on that one.

Does FCP support 1080i open GOP HDV files?

Hello........
A FCP pre-purchase customer question:
Will FCP support 1080i open GOP HDV for seamless editing ? My capturing device requires it.
My previous NLE has frame errors/stutters that occur when placing two or more .m2t or .mov clips side by side that were captured consecutively on a Firestore Recorder (FS-4 Pro HD).
The Firestore FS-4 ProHD captures 1080i HDV into 9 minute clips ( approx 2GB, but not always the exact same byte size ), which then can be dropped into an NLE timeline and played back seamlessly, one after another. This feature is essential to my multi-cam editing of 2 hour live music performances.
I've gotten approval from Firestore to use FCP, Canopus Edius, or Avid, and I'm willing to give FCP a try if Apple can absolutely confirm before purchasing.
Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

FCS2 doesn't support .m2t files, you will need to use Streamclip to convert if your Firestore device doesn't make .mov files.

FCS2 supports long Gop HDV editing,
Good Luck

CS 5.5.2 and still no GTX480 support for Mecury Engine?What are you guys smoking when supporting 470

Never buying a Adobe product again. I'm in supporting for death of Flash. This is gone too far. I'm pissed to the core with Adobe. I would rather have FCP do the job than this crap where i don't get support.

Meetajhu,
MPE with GPU acceleration does indeed speed up both renders and encoding (when exporting from Premiere Pro 5/5.5) by a factor of generally between 1.5 and 1.8. See the following thread to better understand what I mean by this:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3459631?tstart=0
I just ran a test with all files on a single drive and to export 7.25 minutes of AVCHD to MPEG2-DVD (NTSC, progressive, wide, HQ) and comparing HW assisted vs. SW only I get:
w/ GTX 580 = 90% CPU + 54% GPU (takes 1:21)
software only = 98% CPU + 0% GPU (takes 2:00)
As you and others point out, when using MPE w/ GPU can speed up the time required for "Timeline Rendering" by up to a factor of infinity, but that can be useless if only doing a "render effects in timeline" (Enter key) is not enough rendering for your hardware to provide smooth playback from the timeline!
For example, if you have a timeline that show fully "red", as the AVCHD example above does on my PC, then PPro will force a partial render before it will even play back the clip (even though on my PC it plays flawlessly by simply pressing the spacebar). Then, when I shift over to "MPE with GPU accelaration" the whole timeline shows a yellow bar indicating that it is ready for playback without any rendering.
Finally, try to give PPro a chance; FCP had years of being at the top, but it is PPro's time now!
Regards,
Jim

Support for Growing files (DNxHD wrapped in MXF) from EVS in Premiere Pro?

We are using Premiere CC Pro on the Mac-plattform against a shared storage soulution. We need to be able to open growing files from an EVS system to edit soccer-highlights while the matches are still playing. The problem is that the codec is DNxHD 120 and the wrapper is MXF op1a. This works fine with a QT-wrapper, but not with a MXF-wrapper. It is not possible for us the change the wrapper on the EVS system, so we need to do something on the editing side. We have tested it, and confirmed that this works fine in Final Cut Pro and Avid, but we want to use Premiere Pro. Can you provide us with a solution? Please do not say that the solution is to use FCP... ;-) Thanks in advance for all help!

Hi Peter!
Latest version. Cc 2014 with all updates.
Mac OSX 10.10.2 Yosemite.
Error during opening. As soon as the file is closed, it opens fine.

No support for 3D in Premiere Pro

As we all know the major disadvantage of using Premiere Pro is the lack of native support for 3D. The other major editors like Vegus Pro and Edius Pro do support 3D editing and so Premiere Pro is lagging behind in this technology. With CS5 I was using the Cineform Premium plugin which did make it possible to perform 3D edits. Unfortunatly Cineform does not work properly in CS6 and so Premiere support for 3D is non existant.

Tim Dashwood's plugin (http://www.dashwood3d.com/) works in AfterEffects (and FCP 7 and X). Mac only though, I think. It's one reason I still have FCP 7 on my machine.
Have you used Edius for 3D? I'm seriously thinking of putting Parallels on my Mac and trying it out. I'm less fond of Vegas though I used it for 2D years ago

Having a major issue with flickering video that is making me regret ever using this cluck crap!

David Bogie Chq-1 wrote:
I believe you can pay for FCP support but this is a user-or-user forum.
"Flickering video" is not an adequate description to begin letting us help you. The power users will ask you for your complete machine/OS?FCPX specifications and screenshots or a movie of your issue.
(I thoroughly loathe FCPX so) I understand your frustration but I think you will find flickering video is highly unusual and we should be able to help you solve this issue with enough information a bit of time.
Thanks David,
Where is support? This is my main question, FCP Studio had phone support.
After importing a XML from DaVinci Resolve a few clips seem to be corrupt, if i play these clips it breaks FCP and the video in the viewer flashes from the video to black almost every other frame, i have to restart the computer to get it to play normal again.
I have a 2013 Mac Pro and FCPx is sluggish as ****! I alway work from Proxies and the interface still is sluggish and clunky! So frustrating!

FCP support of HDV 720p60?

I recently acquired a JVC GY-HD250 HDV camcorder. So far so good, except for one thing. The HD 250 shoots HDV 720p60 but FCP 5.1.2 does not offer capture support for HDV 720p60. Does anyone out there know if an FCP patch or upgrade is in the works from Apple to provide capture support for native HDV 720p60 video?
If that answer is "no," is there a good, FCP compatible third-party application that will support capture of native HDV 720p60?
Thank you.

jvc and final cut pro do not get along. you're going to have to use (buy) hdvxdv and use it to import from your jvc deck.

Is there any support for green screen

I have a few questions
-is there any support for green screen?
-seems like none of the effects can be adjusted like in FCP 7?
-the audio editing is very limited compared to FCP7?
seems sooooo much is missing!
Do you think there is a chance apple will offer a refund?

Sorry to be annoying, but all of these things have been discussed in other threads here!

HD-SDI external monitoring support for PrP 5.5

For the moment I am working in Adobe sequences, but hoping that external monitoring issues (i.e., playback, rendering of AE dynamic links ,etc.) are resolved one way (third party) or the other (Adobe).
This issues will eventually (some are already looking to Avid for alternatives) piss off some of the higher end users (facilities, boutiques) that Adobe doesnt want to lose.
Adobe, I know your plate is very full, but this one could have tragic consequences on your new found popularity.

I know there is support for external monitoring, it just is very bad at this point.This forum and others contain numerous such reports. I have been in touch with Adobe and the vendor of the product I used with FCP and now with current drivers for PrP. This is why I have switched to editing with Adobe sequences. Due to the issues stated in the previous posting. I have send in bug reports ad infinitum. I spent lots of phone time with good supportive technical folks.
This post is more editorial in nature then anything else. I really like the Adobe Production Studio and I want to see it succeed and flourish.
