Final Cut Express with Universal Control Surface?

I would like to buy Final Cut Express. I want to use a universal control surface such as the Tascam FW1082 with my editing. I know the FC Pro has control surface compatibility, but does the new FC Express?

Bummer. But, thank you for answering my question.

Final Cut Express and logic control

Hi,
has anyone ever achieved to combine final cut express and logic control?
I'm a logic audio user and Iwould be greatful to influence major features of final cut with the controller "logic control XT" and let them work together.
Thanks for your help and ideas!
Alex

No. FCE has no mixer.

Final Cut Express HD (Universal)

Hey,
Now with Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1 out when will the Universal version of Final Cut Express HD be available? There is a lot of us who cannot afford the full "pro" version so it would be nice if Apple was speedy at this.
Will we have LiveType still bundled? Having LiveType running Universal who be absolutely essential IMO.
Chris

There will be no UB version of FCE HD. FCE4 will be UB. Whether it will include LiveType no one knows. The current version of LT has been made UB, so it if it is included, it's already done.
All the best,
Tom

Using Final Cut Express With Sony DCR-TRV480

Hello all,
This is a well known newbie problem and i have came across it before with a different camera and do not remember a fix. Whenever i launch Final Cut Express i get the message "Unable to locate the following devices. Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480)". The camera is clearly connected via fire-wire and turned on. Any insight or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
~Dan

Do you have any other firewire devices connected to your Mac at the same time your camcorder is connected? If so, try it with only the camcorder connected.
Is your camcorder turned on in VCR (aka VTR) mode?
What versions of FCE and QuickTime are on your Mac?
Your profile says you are running OS X 10.6.3 - is that correct?

Can you deploy Final Cut Express with ARD?

Hi Folks,
I have recently purchased ARD to help administer a suit of iMAC and 6 MAC Book Pros. I have an issue with Final Cut Express 4, in that it requires the licence information on application start up. I originally created an image with all of the software pre-installed and everything works apart from the licencing of FCE. I was hoping that ARD would solve the issue.
I have tried to copy the existing FCE ID file from the ProApps folder from one computer to another – however it must hash the licence with system ID or something else as it still requires the licence info at start up? As suggested in another thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12514255#12514255
So is there any way to install FCE 4 without the need to manually enter the product key?
The Mac are running mountain lion and are all intel based.
Any help or info would be very much appreciated.

Yes, I've purchased it for my late 2010 MBA 13. Runs pretty good. Since it does what it does, it does run the CPU, fan and temp up a bit, but still ran perfectly fine.
Cheers!

Final Cut Express with iMac G4

I have been using an iMac G4 for several years. It has worked out extremely well for me. I use it for internet browsing and Microsoft Office applications. Now I'm considering getting Final Cut Express.
Will the G4 iMac be able to handle it?

My G4 733 worked great with FCE 2, and would probably run 3.5 just fine for regular DV, not HDV. Right now my G4 Quicksilver 1 GHz is running FCE 3.5 perfectly well, along with LiveType and SoundTrack. In fact I recently went to the local Apple store where they have Final Cut on their newest and latest Macs, and I deliberately made some complex edits in Final Cut on one of their Macs to see how much faster it would render them. I was surprised that it was not much faster than my Quicksilver G4.
Check the hardware requirements for whatever version of FCE you want to run.

Installing final cut express with a disc drive

I have 2 copies of final cut express 4, however my laptop was stolen. I know have a new laptop but it is a mac book pro without a disc drive. How do install my copy of final cut express? I don't want to (and can't afford) to buy it again when I already own 2 copies and all the used software coupons.
Can I download it? where and how?

Get an external DVD drive. Apple sells one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive?fnode=5f
You can probably find something cheaper, if you look around.

Final Cut Express with Youtube

Hi all,
I've been having this really annoying problem ever since I started using final cut to export movie files for Youtube and I can't find anything online to help me out, so hopefully one of you knows the answer!
Basically every time I export a video from FCE and upload it to Youtube, the video only fills a small part of the Youtube screen, rather than taking up the full video box, which looks pretty awful - Check out the example below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G7n78FqrPs
Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone know the optimum export settings for Youtube so the video takes up the full screen?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ben

Yes, I know the dimensions of the source video do not match the optimum Youtube dimensions, but this video fits the full screen before I put it into FCE so I must be doing something wrong within FCE which is messing with the video. Here's the properties for the video and the sequence (Last time I right clicked on the file outside of FCE; the properties below are what I got when I right clicked on the file and sequence within the browser)
Video:
Vid rate: 30fps
Frame size: 510x284
Compressor: H.264
Pixel aspect: Square
Field dominance: None
Sequence:
Vid rate: 25fps
Frame size: 720x576
Compressor: DV-PAL
Pixel aspect: PAL-CCIR 601
Field dominance: Lower (even)
Hope you can see something wrong in all that?!
Cheers,
Ben

Final cut express with Lion

I had to replace my Hard Drive on my iMac and had Lion installed then I reinstalled FCE and it won't work at all. Is it because FCE won't work as a new install with Lion? Do I need to get the new version of Final Cut?

The FCE installer needs Rosetta, which is not part of Lion. Also, FCE itself is not supported on Lion (FCE was discontinued last June when FinalCutPro-X was released.)
I'd suggest moving on tto Final Cut Pro X. Yes, it's a whole new learning curve, but there are good resources available including Izzy Video's free Final Cut Pro X tutorial course.

Loging and transfering 60fps footage in to Final Cut Express with out it changing it to 29.97fps?

When I "Log and Transfer" my footage to Final Cut and the footage was filmed at 60 frames per second it always changes it to 29.97 frames per second. I need the footage to be 60 fps so it can be in slow motion. But if I start using the clips else where like After Effects CS5 it has the frame rate of 29.97 as I said before. Then my footage is kind a useless regarding the slow motion part.
Thanks in advance.
Jakob!

I have been trying for three days to the same thing.
I did get the video content off my camera via imovie 08 but the quality is very poor.
Haven't worked out how to improve the quality yet, I also tried importing the video
via ADVC 110 analog conversion device but that doesn't improve the quality.
I do have Final Cut Pro & MPEG-2 Codec and have been searching for the video in the camera's
hard drive but can not find it.
Can you tell me where Sony told you to find the video files so that I can try & import it to Final Cut Pro.
Thanks

Capture HD video in Final Cut Express with a Sony HDR-FX7

When try to capture a video from my new Sony HDR-FX7 using the HD Format Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 the preview screen never shows the video being captured. In fact the video is never captured. Any suggestions to how set the 'Easy Setup'? When I try to capture with NTSC format the software keeps looking for a timecode that it will never find thus stops within a minute of starting. I would love to capture some video from my new Sony HDR-FX7 but not having much luck tonight. Have any helpful hints?

First, trash your preferences. Setting different incorrect settings and opening the capture window is a good way to corrupt the prefs files. HDV AIV 1080i60 is the only one to use if the camera is correctly set to output HDV.
Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media (you really did shoot HDV?), and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime are you using?

HDV KGCore crash with Final Cut express 4 NEED HELP

I recently purchased a cannon hv30 hdv camera. This is my first time using High Def footage and I am now working on my first project with it. I have used Final cut express with a hard drive camera for over a year now and have made many projects with little problems. After importing my footage in the 1080i60 easy setup setting (around 63 minutes of footage) I began to add it to the sequence. after adding the first part I added the next imported section of hdv footage. The program then froze for a few seconds and crashed. It did this everytime I added the same clip into the sequence. sometimes the error said that kcgore plugin could be related. I called an apple rep and after getting rid of all 3rd party programs and reinstalling TWICE it still crashes after I recaptured the footage while I am either editing the footage or jsut playing it back. NEED HELP

Thanks I tried it again and it seems to be working but I crashed like once or twice when viewing the footage. But after starting it up again it is working fine it is jsut that the footage has these white flashes in it when playing back sometimes. I am not sure if it is going to crash again or not hopefully it is fixed. I was just using the hdv setting for 1080i60. Im not sure if it was pal or nstc I just used the basic hdv 1080i60 setting. also do you think I should upgrade my ram and memory? Would that help moving it up from a 1 gig to 2 or 4 when working wwith hd footage now?
thanks again

Render files end up inside Final Cut Express package

With all of the discussion here about rendering, I thought I'd let folks know that that 'ol bug that plagued Final Cut Pro for so long (and perhaps still does) is present in Final Cut Express 4.0.1 too: render files sometimes end up inside the package for Final Cut Express. I know this because I just experienced it while running FCE 4.0.1.
With Final Cut Express not running, control-click or right-click on the Final Cut Express application file, then choose "Show Package Contents". After that, open the folder, "Contents", then the folder, "MacOS", and inside, you may see a folder for video render files, one for audio render files, or both.
Assuming that you don't want to render to that location, then with FCE still quit, move any render folders (that you found inside of the package) elsewhere; and delete the four preference files for FCE, according to the instructions given in Tom Wolsky's on-line guide:
http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
Then start-up Final Cut Express and open System Settings. Once there, choose your scratch location(s): usually /Users/<username>/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents, if you are rendering to your boot drive. (If rendering elsewhere, simply specify a folder at that location.)
Next, move the render files from the package (that are now residing elsewhere) into the respective folders inside /Users/<username>/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents, if in fact you find their respective folders there and wish to use that as a scratch location. If not, or if you have specified a location on another drive, of if you want maximum integrity of your render files, then simply open your project file and re-render everything. But you might want to stop that process just a few seconds after starting it, then check inside your scratch folders to make sure that new render files are now being stored there. After verifying that, you can go back to your project file and resume re-rendering.
This issue may answer the question, "where are my render files". By the way, if you do a "Get Info" on the Final Cut Express application file and "Get Info" reports that that file is huge (say, several gigabytes in size), then it is likely that your render files are being stored inside.
Please excuse this post if the subject matter has already been discussed in this forum.

Eidschun, thank you for this thread. It doesn't matter how often it occurs, this information works on many levels and was a pleasure to read.
