Final Cut Pro 7 Phase Shift of Field shift

Good Afternoon....
I am editing video shot on a DSLR and between every cut there is a freeze frame....
I can't tell if it is a phase shift or field shift.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem or a pay phone support
service in Palm Beach Area?

Select the sequence in the FCP Browser, then go to the menu File > Media Manager and use the Media Manager to Recompress your material.
Choose recompress, then choose the correct flavor of ProRes for your Frame size and Frame Rate.
Note that the resultant files will be considerably larger than the original. This is normal and correct as the highly compressed files are "unpacked" for editing use.

Why won't Final Cut Pro 7 allow me to Shift, Command or Option-select items?

I am having a major problem with Final Cut Pro 7. I commonly select multiple items using the Shift (⇧), Command (⌘), or Option (⌥) keys. However, just recently it started not allowing me to select multiple items this way. What happens is either the timeline, the slug, or the canvas will play (depending on which one is selected) I didn't change anything on the computer; it just started happening. I even tried reinstalling the whole entire Final Cut Studio. However, the problem still remains. This is a real problem and really is causing major issues for me. How do I fix this!?!? I'm at a loss. I've tried everything that I could think of short of reinstalling the entire OS (which I may end up doing). Can someone help me?

>I believe that the uninstaller that Digital Rebellion provides (and I used) does, in fact, delete the preferences...
Of course. DR's FCS Remover does exactly what it says on the tin. Except it does not come in a tin.
What it does is remove every vestige of any version of Final Cut Studio.
I ran it on my computer and filled the space that FCS took up by running a script which installed an animated .gif of a dancing banana several times over. Let's be honest. Video editing is a stupid hobby anyway.
Here is the banana...

Final Cut Pro to Avid for broadcast

Hi,
I use Final Cut Pro to produce 30 TV spots.
I dont own Beta or DVCPro50 decks so i burn QuickTime Uncompressed 8 bit files.
At the broadcast station, they drop the QuickTime movie into Avid media composer v.12.
We had 3 choices for import setting in Avid:
1) RGB
2) RGB Dither
3) 601
601 gave us the more accurate image, better contrast that seemed quite the same as i saw in my FCP editing suite.
What are the best FCP export settings and best Avid import settings to avoid any shift in luma and chroma ?
QuickTime Uncompressed 8 bit is YUV ?
Is Avid able to read YUV ?
thanks

There are currently 3 main television standards used throughout the world:
NTSC - National Television Standards Committee. The oldest existing standard, developed in the USA. First used in 1954. Consists of 525 horizontal lines of display and 60 vertical lines. Sometimes irreverently referred to as "Never Twice the Same Color." Only one type exists, known as NTSC M.
SECAM - Système Électronique pour Couleur avec Mémoire. Developed in France. First used in 1967. A 625-line vertical, 50-line horizontal display. Sometimes referred to by wags as "Something Essentially Contrary to the American Method" or SEcond Colour Always Magenta!" Different types use different video bandwidth and audio carrier specs. Types B and D usually used for VHF; types G, H, and K for UHF; types I, N, M, K1 and L for both VHF/UHF. Different types are generally not compatible.
PAL - Phase Alternating Line. Developed by German engineer Walter Bruch and the German electronic corporation Telefunken. Walter Bruch patented his invention 1963 and the first commercial application of the PAL system was in August 1967. Also a 625/50-line display and variant of NTSC. Proponents call it "Perfection At Last." Due to the cost of the enormous circuit complexity, critics often refer to it as "Pay A Lot". Different types use different video bandwidth and audio carrier specs. Common types are B, G and H; less common types include D, I, K, N and M. The different types are generally not compatible

Merging Logic and Final Cut Pro

I'm a long time Logic user but new to Final Cut Pro. The perspective of a convergence between those two applications boggles my mind. Just would like to know whether there is a forum where I can discuss about this topic.
Have a nice day

Assuming you talk about Final Cut Pro X, it provides a new way of handling audio, based on Metadata (i.e. Roles). However it still misses some tight integration with an audio post production app (like Soundtracks Pro before).
I wouldn't be surprised if the rumored Logic X will provide that integration and a shift to "metadata based mixing". That for sure would stir up the DAW playing field a bit.
A tighter video integration on the Logic side is long overdue and they have to do something about it anyway. Not only is video export not possible in 64bit mode, Cubase allows mutliple video clips on a Project and ProTools has now an even tighter integration with Avid, so Logic is falling way behind in that sector.
Hope that helps

How do I import video and sound files from a hard drive into Final Cut Pro X?

I just installed the lastest upgrade to Final Cut Pro X. I have an external hard drive connected to my computer and I want to import video and sound files into Final Cut Pro X- how do I make the transfer?

File>Import Files (Shift-Cmd-I). Select the files, fill out the dialog box that appears as you need.

How do you mark a section from the timeline to send to Compressor 4 using Final Cut Pro X?

I am trying to send just a certain piece from the Timeline to Compressor 4 using Final Cut Pro X and I can't figure it out. Please help!

The video itself is intirely 5 minutes, but the timeline goes to 24 hrs.
24 hours?
If you select the timeline and press Shift+Z do you see a lot of black space in the timeline? If so, you may have a huge gap clip (although I fail to understand how you achieved it). Click on it and if it can be selected, delete it with the Backspace Key (next to the = key).
Then press Shift+Z again.
If I've got this wrong, can you post a screen grab of your timeline?

Copying a video from Youtube to use in Final Cut Pro

I have an old final cut pro that I us for charities and non-profits I think it is version 5.1.7. I have never had the money to upgrade and now I do not have any disk or material for the program, only what is on my system. Now the question. I have a charity that has ask me to pull a video off of Youtube that they cannot find the original. What is the best way to copy the video from Youtube and download it to my desktop and get the best quality to use in final cut pro. Thanks for your help.

Just use OSX:
Command - Shift - 3 will take a full screen snapshot
Command - Shift - 4 will let you draw a rectangle around the portion of screen you want to copy
Command - Control - Shift - 3 will copy the full screen to the clipboard (to be pasted in another app)
Command - Control - Shift - 4 will copy a selectable portion of the screen to the clipboard
Preview is set up to receive clipboard images — just select New from Clipboard from the File menu (or command - N). You can then export in a variety of formats.
Most browsers let you right click on an image and select Save Image As... to any location on your hard drive.

Why doesn't Final Cut Pro X update songs from Garageband?

While working on a short film in Final Cut Pro X, I worked up a simple sound track in Garageband. I imported the Garageband project, aligned it, and discovered that I'd mistimed one of the sound transitions.
So, I went back to Garageband and updated the transition, moving the sound effect to the right spot to match up to the video, and then went back to FCPX. I dragged the Garageband project onto the original copy that I'd imported, and selected "replace" and ended up with... the original. After some experimenting, I actually went and deleted an entire track from the Garageband project and reloaded it in FCPX... still no change. How can I fix this?

Here's an update...
I made some changes to the Garageband track and saved it as another project... Final Cut refused to even detect it until I restarted Final Cut.
I have a sound effect that's placed at 1:32 in Garageband, and it ALWAYS plays at 1:31 in Final Cut, no matter how shift it around in Garageband. After changing the song in Garageband and sharing it to disk, I verified that the sound effect is happening at 1:32 by playing it back in Quicktime, so it must be Final Cut that's misbehaving.

To Apple: Why is it called Final Cut Pro?

My question is to Apple:
So why is it called Final Cut Pro?
You can't call it Final Cut Pro if it's a whole new program. (or if it's an upgrade to IMovie)
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15458061#15458061
I am soooooo disappointed in this!!! I have been editing on Final Cut since version 1. I can't even figure out how to put on a fade to black without shifting the whole timeline. @#$%R@Q$E%QQ@!!!!!!!
Are you really going to make all of us start over from scratch and learn the edit software again? 1/2 the stuff I've learned, keystrokes, favorite effects, screan layouts, 3 party filters etc...over the last 10 years is out the window. It's going to take me months to figure the ins and outs of this new program. How am I supposed to bill my clients for hours when I'm working at 1/10 the speed? And when am I supposed to take 2 months to learn a whole new program?
If anybody from Apple is reading this>>>> PLEASE give us back control and stop trying to do everything for us. We have our own ways of working and our own workflows, folder structures, organization and views.
Everytime I want to do something on the timeline, FCP X thinks it knows what I want and tries to override what I'm trying to do. Maybe for someone from IMovie this is fine. I know what I want and don't need my software trying to second guess me all time. That's our job as editors.
(Now some smart a## is going tell me>>> "Just to keep editing on FCP7".... Well that's great, till they stop supporting FCP7 in 9 months, then what do we do?)
If it's not broke, don't fix it!!!! And for sure don't abandon it!

How do I uninstall final cut pro x?

Hi there.
Is there a proper way to uninstall Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and the new Compressor from my system (10.6.8), or can I just thrash the 3 apps?
I'd also like to make sure to delete the downloaded additional content, and that my Final Cut Studio (FCP 7.0.3, etc) that's also in this computer doesn't get affected.
I searched hi and lo and couldn't find any answer of discussion about it. The manual also doesn't say.
Thank you.

Hi there.
I have a way for you to uninstall FCPX, but it may be incomplete (as in it might not delete everything). Do not use this if you have Final Cut Studio and you want to keep it as this will render it useless and you will have to reinstall. First delete the program itself. If you are using a developer preview of Lion follow these steps:
1. Open Launchpad and find FCPX, Motion 5, and Compressor
2. Click and hold on the icon, then click the x in the top left corner of the wiggling icon.
3. Skip down below after the Snow Leopard Part.
Snow Leopard Steps:
1. Find a Mac uninstallation program (Here the one that I use: http://www.freemacsoft.net/AppCleaner/)
2. Launch App Cleaner.
3. Click on the application folder in your dock and find the 3 apps.
4. Drag them into the window that appears when you open App Cleaner.
5. Click delete, and then type the administrator password if it asks for one.
6. Skip down below.
Remove (I think all) of the additional content:
1. Click on finder.
2. Press CMD + Shift + G
3. Copy and paste this (replacing username with your actuall username): /Users/Username/Library
4. Look for and delete the Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor folders.
5. Follow Step 2 above.
6. Follow Step 3 above except paste this (and don't replace anything): /Library/Application Support
7. Look for and delete the Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Compressor folders.

Opening final cut pro

to whom it may concern,
i am working with only wmv files, which already is a hassle in itself. whenever i open final cut pro it prompts me with a screen that says "importing" on it. i figure final cut is importing all of the wmv files from previous projects or maybe information from the scratch disks, im really not too sure but it is kind of an inconvenience every time i want to open final cut up. ive turned off the "open previous project" in the settings. is there anything else that can be done because that does not seem to work. thanks.

Hold down the Shift button whilst opening FCP and you'll start with a clean FCP, no previously opened projects.

Gaps in final cut pro x

Recently I bought final cut pro x, I'm having some trouble with the gaps.
There are a couple of gaps in my projects and I can't delete them, neither with shift-delete, nor ctrl-G
Do any of you have an idea on how to resolve this?
Thanks

Alternatively, if some setting has been messed up you can return all the preferences to their defaults by downloading this free app and trashing the preferences.

Final Cut Pro Does Not Recognize New External Hard Drive

I am editing a large video project and I had to buy an external hard drive. When I go into FCP, it does not recognize that I now have a lot more room to store media. How do I get it to recognize. Please help! Thanks.

I can see the new disk on my desktop. What do I change in "Preferences" exactly?
In Final Cut pro - System Settings - Shift Q...
You can add it to your list of scratch disks... (which, BTW, should NOT include your system disk)

Automaticlly grabbing screen shots in Final Cut Pro 7

I am trying to find a faster way to grab screen shots on Final Cut Pro 7. Is there anyway to set it to do this automatically in the main viewer? Can I set the time?
Thanks!

Final Cut Pro does not make screenshots of itself.
On a Mac, pressing Shift, command and 3 will take a picture of the screen in any application.
There is screen capture software that will make a video clip which can be edited. [iShowU|http://www.shinywhitebox.com/ishowuhd/main.html] is one example.
It would help if you were to describe exactly what it is that you want to achieve.

How to uninstall final cut pro 5

How do you do this? I have used app delete to erase the files but it didn't get them all. I know this because when I check for updates it still offers me the final cut pro updates. I have searched around but cant find an uninstaller. Help please.
Thanks,

Warning - This is a long post.
How to uninstall Final Cut Pro & the other ProApps -
There are two ways to do this. The first requires that you insert the
install discs for each app and go through the following procedure to
identify the installed files.
1) Insert the disc and double click the install icon.
2) Click to let the installer check your system
3) After the installer opens, click File > Show Files (Command-T)
4) Click the disclosure triangle next the the app's name to show all the
files installed, then select all of them
5) Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C)
6) Open a text editor & paste the list
7) If you have a printer connected, print
8) Make sure you delete the file/folder in the exact location indicated
in the list
9) Insert the next app's install disc and repeat
The other way involves the Terminal.
Using Terminal:
1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
5) Enter the command lsbom -s (a lower case L, not an upper case i)
lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only
the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window
to the Terminal window.
7) Press Return to view the list
8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy
(Command-C)
9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a
printer attached.
10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being
extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.
NOTE: The above comes from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut
Pro System.
