  • Final cut express 4 Graphics crad

    Hi everyone.
    I just bought a 2nd hand 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 with the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card.
    I do not want to pay for FCPX and required Graphics card upgrade.
    From what I am researching, my ATO card should be compatible with Final Cut Express 4?
    Would anyone be able to clarify this for me please?
    Many thanks!

    Legacy versions of Final Cut don't really care what graphics card you're using.

  • Final Cut - Missing AGP graphics card in my MacBook which is Quartz Extreme

    Successful Install of Leopard.
    I have Final Cut Express HD 3.0, my MacBook is supposedly Quartz Extreme Supported (System Profiler agrees with that). On attempted start of Final Cut, I get the following error message.
    "Configuration Error
    This software requires certain hardware of software which is missing.
    • AGP graphics card"
    Any ideas or did I find a true Apple Bug with their own hardware and software?

    No PCI Cards installed in a MacBook.
    No updates to Final Cut Express HD 3.0 for this model. There is only one update to 3.0.1 and that is for specific machines.

  • How to Import WMV's into Final Cut Express WithOUT Flip4Mac

    How can I import a .wmv into Final Cut Express v.1.0 without using Flip4Mac? I am doing a video for a friend who gave me a .wmv file and it throws up a "Flip4Mac Free Trial" watermark. So lame. Is there a free version of something I can use? I googled but couldn't find. Any suggestions? Thanks SO much in advance.

    There aren't any free import/export components for WMV content. F4M is the best, since it's integrated into FC, but, as you've found out, without paying the $49., the free version limits the clip to 1/2 it's duration up to 30 seconds, and puts the watermark on.
    The other software that converts is Visual Hub, but it doesn't have the FC integration...it's slightly cheaper.
    There's one other option HERE, that I have not tried. Supposedly they will convert video to other formats for you.

  • Final cut express without firewire

    I had to shoot with a small camera without firewire, it has only USB. When I connect it to the computer, adobe photo downloader opens. How to get the files in to Final Cut Express ? Thank you. Katalin

    Your HDR-CX116E shoots high def video as AVCHD, so FCE should work with it.
    If Adobe Photo Downloader is getting in the way when you connect your camera, just close Photo Downloader and then start FCE.   It should recognize your camera.  Use FCE's Log & Transfer function to import the video clips.
    Alternatively, look in Adobe Photo Downloader preferences to see if there is a way to make it ignore video.
    Notes:
    You will need to select an Easy Setup in FCE that corresponds to your video's frame size (probably 1920x1080)
    Standard def mode in this camcorder saves video as MPEG2, which cannot be directly edited in FCE.  If you are using this mode let us know and we can provide more info.

  • Converting .MTS for use in Final Cut Express, without loosing quality

    I have an external hard drive full of .MTS files from my JVC camcorder that I cannot open with Final Cut Express.
    I bought a piece of conversion software, iSkySoft Video Converter, to convert them into a more accessible format such as .mov or .avi, but they lose their HD quality during the conversion. I have also tried software available through Mac, Voltaic, but this also seems to dilute picture quality.
    In a previous post, I was recommended Clip Wrap, but having downloaded it, it will not let me open my .MTS files to convert in the first place. I have contacted Clip Wrap Support about this, but am yet to hear back.
    I would like suggestions as to how to open these .MTS files in Final Cut, or a piece of conversion software that retains full high definition quality when converting.
    I am not very computer savvy, Im afraid, so can any technical jargon be explained as best as possible please! Just for reference, in case it helps, my camcorder is a JVC GZ-HD10.
    Thank you.

    MarkTrif, if iskysoft isn't working, use mpeg streamclip to try again, it is free. or get another good third party MTS converter like HD Video Converter for Mac, specially designed to convert HD video formats like AVCHD (mts, m2ts), H.264/AVC, MPEG-2 (ts), DivX, HD WMV, MPEG-4 to SD videos like AVI, MPEG, WMV, MP4, DivX, MOV, my friends recommend it to me, it's safe and works pretty well for me. keep the video image quality. If you are interested in it, here is a step by step guide about how to use it

  • Final Cut HD/AGP Graphics Card

    what gives? the box says i have that card installed...is that the same as the Nividia card?

    You either need to either:
    1) use the following hack -

    or
    2) Upgrade to FCP 5

  • IMovie-like themes in Final Cut Express, without using iMovie

    While I have been getting up to speed using FCE--thanks to Tom Wolski's instructional DVD and book--I was reminded recently while watching a neighbor's video made in iMovie '09 how nice it is to have a variety of pre-made "themes" for titles and transitions.
    Is there a similar set of "themes" one can buy for FCE?
    If not, how can the average person create such themes for FCE? (Does it require other software or a college degree in computer graphic design? Or is this a feature of FCP that is absent in FCE?)
    I know I could apply themes to desired clips in iMovie '09 and then export and reimport into FCE, but I don't want to lose video quality when iMovie "throws out" every other vertical line of interlaced video.
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Hi Tom:
    Thanks for the reply. I have a few follow-up questions. Please forgive me if they are rudimentary; I'm not at all familiar with FCP or Motion, or these pre-built Motion projects.
    Tom Wolsky wrote:
    They are quite different. They're pre-built Motion projects in which you can load some content or add text depending on the project. They're primarily titling projects so they're not strictly themes in the sense that they are in iMovie.
    I'm trying to get a sense of what these pre-built Motion projects are like. Do they create titles like one would find in the iMovie themes such as Bulletin Board, Filmstrip, or Comic Book? They may be very different. I'd love to see few examples of these pre-built Motion projects on the web. Can you steer me to a URL where I can see such examples on the web? Any ideas how I get a better sense of what these pre-built Motion projects offer?
    There are no associated transitions with them for instance, though most of the pre-built projects could be edited in Motion and made into alpha transitions.
    Is this something that a person reasonably familiar with FCE could learn to do without too much difficulty in FCP/Motion? Unless Apple decides to release something along these lines in future versions of FCE, I might have to upgrade to FCP, but I don't want to jump in if I'm going to be over my head.
    Do you have any instructional videos out for FCP, Tom?
    Thanks.

  • How to render in Final Cut Express without widescreen and black bars?

    Hi there,
    I have been having problems when importing my xbox 360 gameplay into FCE, when it is imported it says it needs to be "rendered" when I complete the render the gameplay turns into widescreen with black bars on top and bottom.
    Watch this video on youtube and you can see what I mean
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Wi0hDq-iU
    I have searched and searched on the net but found nothing useful that could help me.
    So any tips info would be greatly appreciated, thanks Chris.

    Do you mean size format and time length? If not please explain for me.
    If so, the original file size, length and format that is going into Steamclip is 200mb, is an mp4 and goes for 2:12 minutes.
    Then after I convert this file it becomes a mov file and the size is increased to 1.02 GB does this seem like I am doing this right in MPEG Streamclip?
    I only just got FCE two days ago so I don't really know how to check the item properties in FCE, could you please tell me how?"
    Thanks, Chris.

  • Using a Flip video camera with Final Cut Express

    I've just recently bought one of those flip video cameras (http://www.theflip.com) which is great, but I can't seem to get the footage imported into Final Cut Express without it then needing to be rendered when I place it on the timeline.
    Does anyone have experience using this camera with FCE, and if so, which settings did you use please? I've tried tweaking most of them with little success.
    Thanks!

    Hi Simon,
    in addition to Martin's instructions I suggest you to make sure, in MPEG Streamclip:
    - you actually select Export to QuickTime (not Export to DV)
    - you set the right frame rate (frequency), that is 29,97 for NTSC.
    Personally I usually set Interlaced Scaling checked, and Deinterlace Video unchecked, but I'm not sure these are the right settings in your case.
    With the above settings you should be able to import the resulting video into FCE without requiring any initial rendering, if the FCE Easy Setup is DV-NTSC.
    Warning: I use MPEG Streamclip 1.8 (the latest as fa as I know) where the Frequency parameter is in the Export main window.

  • Do I meet Final Cut Express Graphic Card Reqts?

    According to Apple, one needs an AGP or PCI Express Quarts Extreme graphics card for Final Cut Express HD. Does that mean my NVIDIA GeForce 6600 on the G5 and NVIDIA GeForce4 MX on the G4 don't cut it? Am I wasting my money buying Final Cut Express HD?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    I own a G5 with a GeForce nvidia 6600 256 meg VRAM, and FCE hd works very well. I dont know the GeForce 4 MX on your G4, but quartz Extreme run on GeForce2 MX with a minium of 16 meg VRAM:

  • 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.

  • Will my ATI Radeon x1600 graphics card support Final Cut Express?

    In the fall I plan to attend Cincinnati State, and major in AVP (Audio Video Production), and I wanted to get a head start by purchasing the program Final Cut Express. I checked the system specifications, and apparently I need an AGP graphics card. The problem is I have no idea whether or not my ATI Radeon x1600 card will be able to run the program or not. Thank you for your feedback!
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I'm just not sure what is going on - that error is what Mac Mini's and others with onboard video have when they try to run FCE/FCP, and there is a workaround mentioned here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1609878
    Of course, your MBP has the ATI card, not onboard video.
    I did a clean install of FCE 3 HD ( PPC ) and then upgraded immediately to FCE 3.5 HD ( Universal ) and have experienced no problems with it.

  • What acp card do I need to operate Final Cut Express?

    I recently installed Final Cut Express and got a message that it cannot work without and ACP card. Which one and where can I buy it?

    I should add that with the release of FInal Cut Pro X, both Final Cut Express & Final Cut Studio have been removed from the Apple store & authorized resellers.  So there's actually no upgrade to FCE 4 available any more unless you can find a copy that may still be in some store's inventory somewhere, or perhaps on eBay.  For example, B&H still seem to have it available, for $79.95 - but that could disappear any time.  (On the B&H website, search for "Final Cut Express" then scroll through the list to find the upgrade package.
