Final Cut Pro-ADVC110 set up capture 16:9

I was wondering if anyone new how to properly set up the ADVC110 to be recognized by Final Cut Pro.
And after recognized how would I initiate it to record/capture in 16:9.
Thanks in advance any information/suggestions is appreciated.

Ok i've set up the ADVC110 for NTSC and I've set it up to "Non-Controllable Device" for device control. Since i want 16:9 widescreen to be my final product what would I have to do to get those results. I'm looking to get 16:9 result so when I upload to youtube I won't get too much of the black bars.
For Capture/Input can I set it to DV NTSC 48 kHz Anamorphic. *The options given for capture/input can be seen here: http://i29.tinypic.com/30tl4px.png *
-Thanks

What compression to use when Exporting HD video from final cut pro PAL setting

Hi there
I'm trying to export my HD video from Final cut Pro so that I can edit it in DVD studio Pro. I initially exported it on H.264 setting however it then gives me the message 'NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects' It was edited with PAL setting so I think it must be the conversion but i'm not sure which option to use.....been really struggling to get the 1 hour footage under 4.5gb without losing too much quality...
Any advice greatly appreciated!
thanks

Just to add two suggestions.
1) Consider putting your four movies on two disks.
2) Bring your movies into Compressor and duplicate the stock DVD setting. In the Encoding pane of the Inspector, select a CBR and dial it back to around 6.2 to 6.5 Mbs. In Preview mark a small section and submit; you'll get 2 elementary streams, with m2v and AC3 extensions. Bring that into DVDSP and evaluate results. Adjust as necessary. (This is to avoid waiting out very long encodes and then having to start again from scratch if you get disappointing results.)

Final Cut Pro 7 Log and Capture Frame Sizes

When importing from a Roland VR-5 mixer into Final Cut Pro 7, we get black border/bars on the left and right sides of the preview. We didn't think anything of it, that it might have just been the preview window. These bars are recorded though, it's as if we're not recording the full frame size coming out of our mixer. We went into the settings on the VR-5 and everything was configured to be 720x480, and that the settings in FCP matched. The image still gets cut off. Any ideas?

Some background:
720x480 is a non-square format. It can either be the equal of 640 x 480 (4:3) or 954 x 480 (16:9) depending on what you tell your editing software the incoming stream will be.
If you told FCP the incoming stream is DV/NTSC 4:3 and you are getting a pillarboxed image, FCP is thinking you are sending it a 16:9 version and is filling the the sides to keep the aspect ratio correct.
It would help to know a whole lot more about settings within FCP and what your mixer is putting out.

Final Cut Pro: Sequence Setting Question

I would like to know what the best sequence setting is for my FCP project.
In my project I mostly use digital still images, shot with a digital camera. I import images into FCP and directly drag them onto a sequence.
JPEG file dimensions 3488x2616
For making stop motion animation, the duration of each frame is extremely short, usually 00:00:00;03.
If the project is 60 seconds, it usually ends up with about 550 or more still images on a sequence.
What should be the appropriate sequence setting for it?
Frame Size: currently set for NTSC DV (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: currently set for NTSC-CCIR601/DV (720x480)
Quicktime Video Settings/Compressor: currently set for DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
in the Advanced field/Frame per Second: currently set for 29.97
Are these settings need to be made before editing the project or could setting changes still be applied to a finished project?
Any advice would be appreciated!!

Hi Tom,
I export QT movie and make it into a DVD using DVD studio pro.
I was trying to learn about the ProRes the other day but there are many kinds and could not figure out what the best one is for me.
Which prores preset could I use? and could I still change it even the project is done editing?
Many thanks!

Final Cut Pro 5 doesn't capture when there's a break in time code

Hi,
I'm trying to capture a mini DV tape using "Capture Now". When it encounters a break in time code, FCP stops the deck and the capture -- which is what I want it to do -- but I don't get a media file in my Browser window or in the Capture Scratch folder of the footage that should have been captured up until the break. What could the problem be & what is my fix-it?
Thanks for any/all help!
Natascha

Check the settings in User Preferences (General tab). The "On timecode break:" popup menu should be set to "Make New Clip" or "Warn After Capture". If its set to "Abort Capture" nothing will be saved.

Final Cut Pro and EditShare - Dropped Frames

Hey,
My Company just got a new EditShare File Sharing server. It's a 5 Rack with 24 drives, for a total of 18TB of space. The problem is, when we're trying to capture straight to the ES (which has 8 RAIDS) there are Dropped Frame Errors appearing. We've tried turning the Internet off, and even re-organized the connection preferences so the ES is the first to be refreshed, but we're still having dropped frames. Info:
Final Cut Pro - 5.1.2
Capturing from a DVCPRO 50 Deck thru Firewire
EditShare - 4.0.2
G5 Mac with OS 10.4.7
note Didn't get so many dropped frames when using LaCie Drives. Could be connection speed or not enough broadband. Any Suggestions? Thanks.
FraserPost

I believe it's fiber, but not sure. We're also checking because the Gigabit switch has 3 settings, 10/100/1000 gigabits, so it could be at a lower setting, and that's causing a backup in the broadband speed. We're also noticing that the transfer rate from our External HDs (which we were capturing to before) to the ES was slower than anticipated.
Anyone else find this problem with an EditShare or File Sharing server?
Just checked, it's CAT6 cables.

Final Cut Pro - Formats...

Hi,
I recently bought a camera, which I am still trying to figure out. It's a Sony HD Handycam - HDR-XR520.
First of all, importing the videos from the camera is a mess.. I use iMovie, where I click import from camera and just import videos from there. The videos are saved in the iMovie library (also accessible in Finder) and are in mov. format.
When I try to import these videos (mov. format) to Final Cut Pro, in order to edit them, I am not able to do so. I DO import them but then I am unable to work with them at all... I cannot even get a simple preview of the videos, it is either black or says in blue Unrendered.
What can I do? How can I change the format of the videos in the first place? How can I import the videos from the camera the easiest?
And is my Final Cut Pro settings, set up correctly? I might have changed something when I first got it a few weeks ago.

Thanks so much.

This guy has similar questions and then he said that it was really easy hooking up his same camera to FCP...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11151002&#11151002
I have no idea how..
I have not been able to edit ANY format on FCP so far.. I have no problem importing, editing and exporting with iMovie 09, it's extremely simple but I can't do anything on FCP. I'm pretty sure it's the video settings that's causing the trouble.
I cannot do Log and Capture either... wrong settings

Update to 6.0.5 (Final Cut Pro), in relations to importing the fcp file

Hello, I have a question. The final cut pro file, logged and captured, from different version of final cut pro (I asked the person who did log and capture and she would say it would be the newest version, but would not know exactly what version that would be, so I assume it was 6.0.5), refuses to be opened when I tried to open (import) it in my final cut pro, which is 6.0.1. I tried so many times to update it to 6.0.5, both through "Pro...04" and "...05", it still remains 6.0.1. And it keeps refusing to open the file and says, "File is too new for this version of the application." I even updated all soft wares through the apple for my computer and also quick time player. Could anyone please help me, I will appreciate it.

The updater is expecting a file called Final Cut Pro.app located in /Applications. If you moved the file to a different folder or renamed it, the old one will not be replaced and you'll end up with two files - the old one and the new one.
If you added a shortcut to your dock, that will still be pointing to the old one so any attempts to launch FCP will launch the old copy. So just delete the old one and create a new shortcut to the newer one, which will be called Final Cut Pro.app inside the /Applications folder.

Problems with Final Cut Pro HD Academic Version?

Is anyone out here having problems with the academic version of Final Cut Pro?
1) Erratic capturing capability---Was able to capture for a few days, and now audio isn't in sync with video during playback.
2) Sudden shutdowns of program
3) Dropped frames
4) Scratch disk QT files were in sync, and now they're playing sluggishly, indicating dropped frames.
I'm no expert, but I've never had such erratic problems with a software program before. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me. I've taken my computer in and gotten a second hard drive, had our operating system reinstalled.

Why is my Final Cut Pro Dropping Frames?

Final Cut Pro 3 has been capturing media for years. Now every 20 seconds it says " Dropped frames." Is this because I updated to Mac OS 10. 4.9? Help. I'm frustrated.

This is a known issue. Updating to 10.4.9 causes FCP 4.5 and earlier to drop frames when capturing. The solution? You'll need to archive and install the OS all over again, and get back to 10.4.8.
Search the forums for 10.4.9 and FCP and you will fine MANY threads talking about this.

How can I move Final Cut Pro folders?

Hey guys!
I'm trying to figure out how to move the "Final Cut Backups", "Final Cut Pro", and "Motion Templates" folders out of my Movies folder. I keep a bunch of my own movies in that folder, and having those 3 in there becomes an inconvenience.
I've tried to move all my Final Cut Pro media over to an external and when I load videos I want to edit from there, Final Cut Pro still makes folders in my Movies folder instead of my external.
I want Final Cut Pro to set all destinations to my external. Making my external the main place it stores and saves all files/folders.
Even if there isn't any "Change destination" option within Final Cut Pro, could this be done through Terminal in any way?
I am currently using Final Cut Pro X (10.1.2)
Thank you so much!

You can move them in the Finder. I wouldn't move Motion Templates, however.
Where FCP stores the other files can be set in the Inspector.

You need to list the camera you are using, the settings you shot on and the settings on your sequence (easy set up etc)

Why does my 4:3 miniDV video keep getting captured as 16:9? (Vidi/Final Cut Pro question)

This is partially related to Final Cut Studio, although not necessarily. I've been trying to back up dozens of my miniDV tapes on to my harddrive for several months now, racing against the clock as their video quality starts to degrade. Since Final Cut Pro started giving me problems with the timecode breaks, I started using a capture program called Vidi instead (v0.4.7) Everything was capturing well, considering, until just last week where several of my tapes, which were shot in 4:3, would capture as 16:9. That is, the video files were clearly stretched to a 16:9 aspect ratio and appeared distorted. Today I tried to go back to Final Cut (v6.0.6) to capture it the old way, and, lo and behold, the video was once again being stretched to 16:9.
A few things:
- I'm about as sure as I can be that these tapes were shot in 4:3. I've watched them several times on my TV and they are played back in 4:3, with the black bars on the left and right.
- I had actually captured video previously from one of these tapes a few years back and it recorded as a 4:3 video file, just as it should.
- I definitely have "4:3" checked off in Vidi when I capture the video. What's even more infuriating, is that BOTH Vidi and Final Cut show the video playing in its 4:3 aspect ration during apture. It's only when I check the captured file that it's been stretched to 16:9
- A tape I shot in 2008 captured perfectly with Vidi today - in it's 4:3 format. That seems to imply that it's not a software setting issue.
I'm starting to lose my mind with this, especially since I haven't found a single reference to this problem anywhere else. All I want is to get the raw DV data off of these tapes to work with at a future date, and I'd like it to be exactly as it was originally shot, not distorted. Maybe some bit of code on these tapes got messed up over time, resulting in capture software to think it was shot in 16:9? These tapes aren't anywhere near my oldest ones - they're from 2010 and 2011. Is there something obvious I'm missing when I capture these videos? If there's no other solution, is it possible to squeeze them back to 4:3? It might not look as good as if were captured in it's native format, but I'm out of ideas.

Not sure if it makes any difference for archiving purposes, but dv files (dv streams) are not generally recommended for use in fcp. .mov with the dv codec is how fcp captures SD video via firewire. Someone a few months ago claimed that .dv was fine with fcp, but I seem to remember that audio will always need to be rendered and since I always use fcp for capture of DV material, it's not an issue for me.
You can use compressor to both convert to .mov with the dv codec and reset the anamorphic flag. Not sure if there will be any loss of quality, so it might be worth testing this. Perhaps someone with more knowledge will speak up regarding this or alternative methods of converting .dv to .mov
What problems are you having capturing from within fcp? Shouldn't be a problem. I find that setting the easy setup correctly is crucial for successful capturing. Even if all the individual elements that seem to compose the easy set up are correct, there can still be problems. Perhaps you might want to start a new thread regarding your capture problems and we can see if we can solve the problem.

"Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"

Hello everyone!
We had a computer crash while we were working on Final Cut Pro and backing up some media to a hard drive.
Since then, whenever we "capture' video footage and hit the escape key to stop capturing - we get -
"Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"
We reinstalled the Final Cut Pro software all over again thinking that maybe the software got corrupted and we also rectified any disk permissions for the hard drives.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You eventually want to figure out how that happened and make sure you fix it.

You reformatted the external drive, yes? You might not have used the correct initialization setting. Should be Macintosh HFS, journalling is optional. Or you have a drive formatted for Winderz.
Aside from incorrect drive formatting, we have seen this error if the capture is incomplete or improperly terminated.
It's not an FCP issue, it's hardware.
