Final Cut Express 3.0.1 and 10.4.10?

I am currently running 10.4.8. I did not upgrade to 10.4.9 because of people having problems importing their video.
Has anyone upgraded to 10.4.10 and still using Express 3.01.
I know I should upgrade to Express 3.5, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Chris

I see that apple has this posted:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305284
so, that sounds like that it is fixed, but I would like to see if anyone else is working OK. Also, what version of QuickTime. I have stayed with 7.1.6.
Is is OK to go to 10.4.10 and QT 7.2 with FCE 3.0.1?

Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1

Hi,
I have a client with both of these installed on the same machine (running 10.4.6).
When they try and launch either application, the splash screen comes up, loading various filters, etc. then they get an error message:
"File Error: A file of this name already exists" "OK"
Clicking "OK" closes the app.
Any idea:
1. What the file in question is?
2. Can it be deleted to let the app run?
3. Can Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 be used on the same machine?
I'll post this on the Final Cut Pro thread too (but with the order reversed).

1. No idea.
2. Depends what the file is.
3. Yes. Though I've never tried to run them at the same time.

Hey, I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera, whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there, please help !

FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
What is your camera's exact model name and number?

When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.
Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.
If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.

FInal Cut Express HD 3.0 and Tiger 10.4.6

I recently upgraded from Panther 10.3.9 to Tiger 10.4.6 on my 1.25ghz g4 laptop with 1.2gb RAM and Final Cut Express HD 3.0 is misbehaving. It quits when trying to capture (I had to capture in imovie and import the imovie file) and stutters in playback and won't render out audio. I'm using QT7.1.3
Any ideas why? I tried to upgrade to FCE HD 3.0.1 but it wouldn't let me saying that my computer didn't need this upgrade.
Do I have to get FCE HD 3.5 ?

Try this:

and also try to trash your preferences:

Get back to us and tell us how that worked.

Help! Final Cut Express crashes on Log and Transfer

Hi,
I am using a Canon Vixia HFS20 (AVCHD) and a Mac Book Pro (running snow leopard) , with a 1 tb My Book as scratch disk.
I have upgraded the software.
In Easy Setup, I selected AVCHD 1920x1080i60, after checking the camera and seeing that it is recording with 60i.
Log and Transfer opens, but then final cut express immediately crashes.
Please advise! Thank you so much,
Anne

What happens if you remove the external drive and try a test capture to the MAC directly?
How is the external connected? eg. USB
Is the external formatted to MAC OS Extended?

Final Cut Express 2.0.3 and missing AGP graphic card

I had Final Cut Express 2.0.3 in my older G4 PPC Tower. But now that I've installed FCE 2.0.3 in my new iMac I get an error message telling me I need an AGP graphic card for the program to work.
What's the deal?
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Panther

Have a read of this thread (link).
FCE 2 is a PowerPC application so you won't get great performance through Rosetta. FCE 2 is looking for AGP graphics which were standard at the time but no longer present. You should look at upgrading (link) for best performance.

Differences between Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Studio 5.1

Hi, all,
Unfortunately, I didn't find a list of what the main differences are between those two products on the Apple website - only about the latest versions of the programs.
Since I consider buying a used version of Final Cut Studio 5.1, I would appreciate if someone could give me an idea of what the main features are that come along with FCP as compared to FCE.
I am shooting HD with Canon HV30, so I am primarily interested in the HD features. Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
M.

Filters in FCE process video on a field-by-field basis; in FCE, only Generators process video on a full-frame basis, i.e. in considering both fields of each frame. By contrast, FCP allows you to choose how Filters process video: field-by-field or full-frame. For interlaced playback (e.g., on an NTSC monitor), field-by-field processing may be best, but not necessarily; but for progressive scan playback (e.g., on a flat screen TV, as well as on a computer monitor), video that was shot in progressive mode needs to be processed on a full-frame basis in order to avoid getting artifacts -- at least when applying certain effects.
In short, depending on the mode in which the video was shot, depending on the playback mode, and depending on the effect that you are applying, you may need to control how the corresponding Filter processes video (field-by-field or full-frame), and you can do this only in FCP.
This is also true when applying certain effects that are not explicitly labeled as "Filters", e.g., zoom. For example, if you use FCE to zoom in, over time, on video, the second field of each frame will be zoomed in slightly more than the first (since in essence, FCE "assumes" that the footage was shot in interlaced mode and that therefore, the second field was captured later in time than the first). Consequently, during playback on a flat screen TV, where both fields are displayed simultaneously, the fields will be shifted left-right with respect to one another, which may be quite noticeable.

Final Cut Express (FCE) 1.0 and Tiger 10.4.4--End of my rope...

So I know it's ridiculous that I haven't upgraded from 1.0, but I recently upgraded to Tiger and I am about ready to go PC because of all of the problems it has created--mostly with Final Cut.
I've tried everything in all of the posts, but FCE 1 still won't capture in Tiger. I deleted receipts for QT, upgraded to 7.0.4, re-installed FCE 1. Nothing.
What's the final verdict? Will FCE 1 just never work with Tiger?
I really hate how Apple does this. To use Toast 7 I needed 10.4, now becaue I have 10.4, I have to buy FCE HD, along with iLife again so that everything will work.
If anyone ever figured anything out, let me know. Otherwise I guess I'll just pony up the dough again to update yet another program that isn't compatible. This can't be an oversight on Apple's part. It must be an intentional marketing tactic, because capturing is one of the fundamental functions of FCE.

FWIW, Tiger, FCE 2, and QuickTime 7 do not play nice together
I had forgotten this thread, but since there is activity that brought it back to my attention, I have more information to share:
Tiger, FCE 2, and QuickTime 7 actually do "play nice" and work together great. I tracked my problem down to the means I was using to capture: Formac Studio TVR. The Formac software captures at a large data rate that FCE2/QT7 have trouble with. The Tiger/FCE 2/QuickTime7 work-around I have for this is to render any raw DV files I want to edit before I start. This drops the data rate to one that does not cause problems.
Meantime, I continue to try for a response out of Formac about tweaking their software.
Hope this helps.

Final Cut Express HD, Logic 8 and Euphonix MC control and MC mix

Hi all,
Here are a question:
1. Can I make MC control run FCE as it does with FCP?

No. FCE has no mixer.

Upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and final cut express 4 will not work

upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and final cut express 4 will not launch but my final cut express HD 3.0 version comes up. I reinstall my final cut express 4 upgrade disc and it still will not launch.
Where do I go from here?

You installed from the discs, right?
What happens when you try to launch? What are you doing to launch and what happens you do it? Can't see you computer from here. If you probably need to contact Apple with an installation issue on a new computer.

Survey about Mac OS X 10.4.9 and Final Cut Express

Hi(Bonjour)!
Regarding the huge amount of posts, threadjack and splits of the topic about FCE 2.0.3 and OS X 10.4.9, I suggest to make a new topic about individual experiment with the combo 10.4.9 and FCE.
If you have tried this combinaison and want to share your results, feel free to post here.
We need to know the version of MAC OS X, Quicktime, Final Cut Express, the exact model and configuration of your MAC (external HD, the port where camcorder is plugged) etc.
Michel Boissonneault

I have a 800mhz, 15" iMac with 768 ram. I'm running OS 10.4.9, FCEHD 3.0, QT 7.1.5, two external HD (250gb Wiebetech and 120gb EzQuest. The two external hd are daisychained together with one FW connection to the iMac. My camcorder is a Panasonic PV-GS500 and is FW to the iMac.
Immediately after upgrading the OS and QT I was unable to capture video without getting dropped frames.
I purchased the FCEHD upgrade to 3.5 and should receive it this weekend...hoping it solves the dropped frames issues.
How is that mon ami?

Best export method of footage from Final Cut Express to DVD?

I'm exporting footage from Final Cut Express using Quicktime Player and then burning the footage to DVD using iDVD.
The end result on DVD has very jagged interlacing (or noise) on objects in motion which aren't present when viewing the footage on FC. I don't think the problem is with iDVD (I assume I'm burning a pristine copy of an already reduced-quality clip).
Are there any changes I can make to the system preferences either on FC or Quicktime Player to reduce or prevent loss of digital information, or can anyone suggest better methods of export from Final Cut Express to DVD?

Hello
I'm not sure if this is relevant:
I've been using the Quicktime Conversion settings;

29.97 Frame Rate
Highest Quality
NTSC/PRO
I was under the impression that this was usually best - haven't had any problems with iDVD

Rip Audio From Final Cut Express

Is it possible to rip audio from an MPEG Video in Final Cut Express and save a copy of JUST the audio file as .mp3? I know you can do this with QT Pro, but I'm going to be getting Final Cut Express down the road and I need to be able to do this. So I will just get FCE now if it can perform this function and not waste money on QT Pro.
Thanks!
A

Well, there's all kinds of flavors of 'MPEG Video' out there, knowing what you're using would help.
QuickTime Pro can do this, and it's not a waste of $20 to get it.
You can also use MPEG Streamclip to extract the audio to AIFF, then use iTunes to convert to MP3 if that's what you really want.

Which camera to get for Final Cut Express 3.5HD/ upgrade to FCE 4?

Hello everyone!
I know this has been discussed frequently, but i am sort of looking for a costum made solution for me
Following situation: Macbook, 2.16Ghz, 2GB Ram, 320GB HDD @ 5400rpm.
I am running 10.5.3, have Final Cut Express 3.5 installed and am used to work in it,
mainly for editing video files not coming from a camcorder.
I have some experience in SD miniDV recording/editing though.
NOW I was thinking of getting a new camcorder in the 1500$ max range.
I want to edit video files, sometimes burn DVDs, at other times only to have them on the mac.
What i like about some of these new HD consumer models they can record AVCHD and mpeg2 SD in DVD quality. That should allow me to record in mpeg2 and have less hassle with importing/converting into Final Cut Express 3.5 if lower quality is fine (which it is as of now)
At the same time I could upgrade to Final Cut Express 4 and import the AVCHD files, but I still taken aback from how time and resource consuming it is. Plus it does not allow full HD 1920x1080 in FCE 4 does it?
So I was looking at the Sony HDR SR11 as a nice camcorder. Seen it live, seems decent.
On the other hand, is a camera which records in HDV a better solution for me?
I could keep Final Cut 3.5, no need to upgrade right?
Is it less hassle to transfer files to the mac and edit them?
I am very unsure which way to go right now...

Hi Flore
This a huge debate. There are very few advantages to the new AVCHD camera's and the vgery long list of negative aspects of AVCHD camera's outweighs any usefulness of them. They are designed for Grandad to pick up and shoot good quality pictures and not for editing.
I have posted below the wiki address for AVCHD, please read the page. It is very important you do read it. It explains in depth about AVCHD.
I feel the is no real place for the hard drive based AVCHD camera. There is a place for a mini-dv tape based camera.
Life will be very hard if you go the Hard-drive camera route. Stay with tape.
Tape is cheap, hardy and easy to move around. Hard drives not so!!!
Take some time to read the following wikipedia page...PLEASE READ THIS PAGE!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD
You will see that AVCHD is not all the bee's knee's.
I personally hope it dies an extremly painful agonising drawnout death.
AVCHD has no place in the professional domain.
