Final Cut Pro 3.0 - Compatible with HDV?!?

Does any use HDV with their FCP 3.0 program? Is there settings I can change to import this file type, or do I have to convert it to SD? Thanks for your help!

You have two options.
1. Down convert in the camera to DV and capture that way. No guarantee it will work.
2. upgrade your system to a more recent version of FCP. FCP 4.5 could deal with HDV if you used Luminaire's codec but it would be better to head up the food chain to at least 5.0/5.1 which was the first to deal with HDV natively. FCP6 (aka FC Studio 2) is what is shipping now. It has some steep hardware requirements, so check carefully if you decide to go that route.
good luck.

  • Final Cut Pro 5.x compatible with Leopard?

    Sorry if this has been asked loads of times but I could not find the posts here.
    Does anyone know if Final Cut Pro 5.x and DVD Studio Pro 4.x are compatible with Leopard?
    Thanks,

    I don't know what terms you ** SEARCHED **
    But the list referenced above (click on the term searched) has quite a few.
    If you work with FCP/ Logic/ ProTools, etc in any professional capacity, you may want to wait until the fallout settles. This is especially true if you use 3rd party cards & drivers. Otherwise, get a new drive and install everything from scratch.

  • HT4682 Does anybody know if Final Cut Pro X is compatible with, or equipped to receive input from MovieBox DV?

    I borrowed a MovieBox DV (by Pinnacle Systems) to try to digitize analog video from my Super 8 video camera cassettes onto my new iMac. I followed the MovieBox instructions to connect the analog video camera to the MovieBox DV and then onto my iMac. I opened first Final Cut Pro X and tried to import the digitized video, but my iMac does not seem to be recognizing or receiving the digitized input from the MovieBox DV.
    Does anybody have any suggestion on how to make this digitization work?
    Thanks,

    FCP X needs a source with timecode, which means that you probably need some other tool to ingest your footage.
    Quicktime Player can probably do it (File->New Movie Recording).

  • Is Final Cut Studio 1 (i.e. Final Cut Pro 5.1) compatible with Leopard?

    That's pretty much the question.

    Yes is pretty much the question...
    but not knowing your computer... not knowing how you might do the upgrade... not knowing if you really want 7.3 or not...
    well... I've already given you more information than you deserve with the question you asked and no obvious searching on this forum.
    But hey -- welcome anyway.
    Do a search here.

  • I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    This is quite an open suggestion, but here are some ideas which might get you started.  There are good HD cameras in your price range from Sony, Panasonic and Canon (and maybe other manufacturers). Tapeless formats vary.  I have only worked with Sony XDCAM which seems pretty good to me.  File sizes for material shot at 35MBS are not too huge and, with the free Sony transfer and conversion programme, are easy to bring into the computer via USB direct from the camera or from a fairly inexpensive converter.  The Sony XDCAM EX3 can produce results well up to broadcast quality.
    As to hardware, you'll need a powerful MAC - iMac, Macbook Pro or MacPro with 4GB or more of RAM and a good video card.  Softwarewise, FCPX is quite a bit cheaper than FC Studio 3 and of course it's 64bit and can make better use of multi-core machines than FCP7.    It's also designed to handle HD formats with less hassle than FCP7 and is matched to the latest versions of Motion and Compressor.   But you'd probably be wise to search reviews of FCPX before you make your choice - it has some issues.
    A good HD monitor will be essential and, for colour correction etc, you may want to consider a second monitor or HD TV foe editing. ( A MacPro is generally the best machine to connect a second monitor to). 
    This should give you a good editing system, but there are many other things you could add (Photoshop, professional sound monitors, etc)
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • Final Cut Studio 1.5 compatible with 2.0

    Hello,
    Are files created with final cut studio 1.5 compatible with studio 2.0 and vice-versa?
    I remember that from 5.0 to 5.1 they were not back compatible, and it was a huge headache for us.
    Thank you!

    Not sure what you mean by "Studio 1.5", but no project file created with a newer version of FCP can be opened with an older version. The alternative is to export sequences as XML files.
    Project files created with older versions can be opened by newer versions.

  • Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Hi Tom, I don't know if you can help me.
    I'm using Final Cut version 10.1.4 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and whenever I open FCP it opens for about 5 seconds (not allowing me to click anywhere) before closing with the message  "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to apple automatically." I have tried opening it multiple times and the same thing has been happening over and over again and i've tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing is working.
    HELP.
    Jada.

  • Final Cut Pro 7 not recognizing Sony HDV Deck on older 2008 version MacPro's

    I am trying to connect a Sony HDV deck to Final Cut Pro version 7 on an older 2008 version MacPro.  The problem was with the firewire mini port on the back i believe because i used a different deck which was the same model - but the only difference was it had a firewire 400 port instead of mini firewire port.  Anyway, the deck with the 400 firewire port worked for logging and capturing, etc... (this also worked when i re-tested it on the 2008 MacPro)  Im wondering if anyone else has had problems with the firewire mini port on the Sony HDV deck because it seems like almost every HDV deck i have with mini firewire has problems connecting to final cut pro or any editing application.  I know now that the deck i had in question the mini port is not working correctly but is there a way to fix this or prevent the cable - deck from terminating the connection with the mini cable being used.  I dont need an answer to the deck problem because i figured it out but just wondering if anyone has some insight on this deck problem.  Thank you...
    Kyle

    >I dont need an answer to the deck problem ... just wondering if anyone has some insight on this deck problem
    So you don't want an answer, just insight. OK, I'll give it a go.  I've had several Sony VTRs with the 4pin Firewire port (proper name for what you refer to as "mini"), which is the same type of port that most DV and HDV cameras use as well.  One of the main things you need to be wary of is plugging in and unplugging a Firewire cable while either the device or the computer is powered on.  I know that marketing hype claims that Firewire is hot swap-able, but it really isn't safe to do so.  The pins in both the 4 pin connector as well as the 6 pin connectors are very close together and if they aren't aligned exactly right with the socket, can easily cause arching and damage a Firewire port on either or both ends.  Is that the kind of insight you were looking for?

  • HT201109 Final Cut Pro 10.1 crashes with Motion 5.1 custom Scrolling text and Graphics titles

    Dec 29, 2013 1:33 PM 
    found out why Final Cut 10.1 won't load my custom titles without crashing. When scrolling text in Motion 5.1 if you ad a graphic to scroll with the text Final Cut 10.1 will crash. If I remove the graphic in Motion and then load it into Final Cut 10.1 it will work.
    So Graphics and scrolling do not work. The graphics are .jpg, .png, .tiff, .psd. I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully someone out there does.

    Thanks Tom for the advice. I have four external hard disks, all of them formatted with Mac OS Extended Journaled. On all devices (2TB) I have more than half free space. They are connected either with Thunderbolt or USB3 cables. Different manufactures:  LaCie, Toshiba, WD and Samsung. I face the same crash problem if I connect a UBS drive 16GB or a any other device to the USB ports including the Sony Video camera connected with a USB1 cable. Same problem on ALL my computers! To work properly, I have to disconnect all USB devices and work only with internal hard disks. I also tried to format the MacbookPro (erasing the partitions with a new installation) but I have the same problem. I really lost hope...

  • Final Cut Pro X and Macbook with 9400M chip. Has anyone tried it?

    I have a late 2009 Macbook with Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics chip. I've got 4 gig RAM installed. Apple lists this chip as working with Final Cut Pro X. Has anyone tried it on a Macbook? Is the performance adequate or should I wait until I get a more powerful laptop?

    Yep, I've got a Macbook with that chipset and it runs FCPX. It's not blindingly quick but it work.

  • Final Cut Pro X share fails with QuickTime Error -50

    Hello!
    I'm facing a very annoying issue when trying to share my project from Final Cut Pro X. It used to work perfectly fine but now I'm getting consistently "QuickTime Error -50" after FCPX exported about 10% of my project. This can be reproduced with other project as well - one time I was able to export by restarting my machine but not anymore.
    My configuration is a Mac Pro early 2008 with a ATI Radeon 5770. The only recent change I did to my config was to upgrade my old graphic cards to the Radeon 5770: do you think this can be the cause of this error?
    Thanks for any help,
    Jean

    I am also expriencing the same error. Tried every solution listed so far:
    1. Switch off background rendering. Trash render files. Don't render. Export.
    2. copying the project within Final Cut Pro into another project
    3. remove the following folder: Library > Application Support > ProApps > MIO > RADPlugins > XDCAMFormat.RADPlug
    Nothing worked. I try to export to Vimeo, YouTube, and master. All error right at 9%
    What's going on?
