Final Cut Pro & Leitch Nexio Server Compatibility

My name is David and I am currently working in production/promotions for an NBC affiliate news station in Colorado Springs. We currently have a Nexio server made by Leitch.
We are planning to go tapeless soon.
Can Final Cut Pro export LXF files directly to the server to avoid having to dump commercial spots to tape?
Does anyone have any experience working with Macs and Leitch servers?
Thanks!

What we need to know:
The Mac model, how much RAM, type and specifications of graphics card, version of Mac OS X, amount of free space on the main drive, version # of FCP or FCS that you are attempting to install, with a list of the disks included in the box.

Final Cut Pro X and Videocam compatibility

I am ready to upgrade to Final Cut Pro X AND to buy a new videocam. I like the features of the Canon Vixia HF S30 (especially the viewfinder, not available in cheaper cameras), but neither Canon nor Apple will reassure me that this camera is compatible with Final Cut Pro X. Has anyone tried this camera with this software?
Thanks.

Final Cut Pro HD (4.5) compatability with Canon HV10

I got a great deal and read reviews from Mac sources regarding the Canon HV10. There was some question about the camcorder, but as an introduction into the world of HDV, I thought I could work with it for my specific needs and I did get a pretty decent price.
BUT, iMovie in my OSX Leopard which I just installed recognizes the camera BUT it comes in all bright green and pink even though the playback in the cam looks normal, and Final Cut Pro HD (4.5) just won't see the HV10, even with the HDV/DV cable they require you to purchase.
Do I have to update Final Cut Pro? Is this something that is just not going to work with the FCP 4.5?
Any help would be seriously appreciated.
Thanks so much.
Rod

FCP4.5 does not do HDV. You need either iMovie8, FCE 4 or FCStudio 2 for that codec.

You can't open the project directly in an earlier version than the copy of FCP that created it.
It has to be exported as an XML version 3 file in your case.
I'm trying to update Final Cut, but it says it does not need the updates for anything prior to 6.0.6
Which version are you trying to update?
FCP 6 is a *paid update* from FCP 5.x.x -not free.

Final Cut Server 1.x and Final Cut Pro 7

Are there any compatibility issues with Final Cut Pro 7 (Final Cut Studio (2009) and Final Cut Server 1.x?

FCSvr 1.5 has the ability to process FCP 7 project files and well as leverage ProRes Proxy Edit Proxy workflows.
FCSvr 1.5 is recommended for FCP 7.
I've heard about problem with FCSvr 1.1.1 and FCP 7.
Are you experiencing anything in particular?

How to save Final Cut Pro project to an ftp server to then open on a different computer

Hello, I work for a graphic design firm that also does video production for businesses. We are using Final Cut Pro X in our office which has an FTP server connected to all office computers.
What we want is to be able to have on employee start a project in Final Cut Pro X, save it to the server; then have another employee open up the same project and continue working from a different computer.
Right now, we have a lot of our Final Cut files saved to the server, and the files will show up in the server on the other employee's machine. BUT, we scroll in the server to the file for the Final Cut Pro project on the other computer, and the file is grayed out, unable to be opened on the new computer.
I've tried right clicking and choosing "open with Final Cut" and Final Cut does then open, but right before it opens the project within Final Cut, a message comes up saying "The document could not be opened. Open documents from within Final Cut Pro," which of course, I see no way to do that from within Final Cut Pro.
I've also called Apple Care, they reminded me that we can't have one project open on two computers at the same time, and that's fine. We are willing to close the project on computer one to then open on computer two.
If you have an answer let me know. We don't want to have to load onto an external hard drive to then load onto the other machine, especially since we have a server ready to go.
Thanks for your help.

You can share projects via the ftp server, but you need to:
1) Have all the media in identical events on each editor's machine;
2) Set up the project and share the entire folder for that project first;
3) Afterwards, you can share just the project file itself
You CANNOT work directly on projects and events stored in the ftp server.
See Steve Martin explain how to do all this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu-ga7fxKh8

"media server application expectly quit" when submitting from final cut pro

browsing through the list, it seems the problem couldn´t be solved so far.
doing some systematic testing, the following riddle shows up:
... when adding a QT ref movie (or movie) directly to the compressor batch list and submit to the cluster, everything runs fine.
... when exporting from final cut pro:
menu -> export -> using compressor ...
submitting in compressor using:
1) Cluster: this computer: everything keeps running fine.
2) Cluster: MylovelyCluster ....
the job fails with the message "Failed: HOST [clusternode_name.local] media server application unexpectedly quit"
since there is 5TB + of data to be compressed, copying files to the render nodes is not an option. all data is on a shared xraid, connected via giganet.
Any ideas, any hints appreciated !
regards,
p.s. Anybody running an XSAN having the same issues?
G5s, G4s, G3s, macminis, powerbooks Mac OS X (10.4.7) xraid

... well, the answer is in other topics.
showstopper explains it patently again and again ...
thanks from here.
shortly: when submitting from FCP, every node HAS to have FCP installed and MUST have access to the same relative file path (mounted shared volume). If the volume is not present, the render node will open the reconnect media dialogue and waits for user input.

Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Quicktime 7 compatibility issues. Error 39!

I see some people saying Quicktime 7 is not compatible with Final Cut 4.5 and some saying it is.
I upgraded to 10.3.9 and then Quicktime 7 and I started getting error 39 at this one spot in my timeline and then crashing if I tried to play just a few seconds ahead of that spot. I tried trashing the prefs but that didn't do any good. The individual files play fine outside the timeline so it isn't corrupt media. I tried rerendering the effects that are at that point but that didn't help. I tried copying the entire timeline to a new sequence and that didn't help.
The strange thing was that when I took the part of the movie that was having trouble and deleted it from the timeline it still got error 39 when just playing over the empty timeline where the media used to be! This led me to realize that the problem lay in some Quicktime audio effects I had about a second in front ot the error 39 spot. I took off the effects from that audio but it didn't help. Then I deleted that audio from the timeline and just pasted it back in from the original clip and then it finally got to working.
Now I know nothing about the software, but I thought there might be some connection between the fact that I had effects that FCP labels as "quicktime effects" on there from my days in Quicktime 6.5, then upgraded to Q7, and perhaps those old effects don't work in Q7? I don't know.
So, my immediate problem is solved but I thought this experience may be of use to someone else. And perhaps some compatibility issues can be brought to light.

I would assume the Software Update program has sufficient logic within it to detect that my friend is running Final Cut Pro 4.0 and it would therefore be disastrous to install QuickTime 7.3, thus removing QuickTime 7.3 from her list of suggested updates. Would someone at Apple please fix this?
Sorry, but Quicktime is a component for SO MANY things, not just FCP. Sorry, but the OS doesn't detect that older versions of software are on there and won't be compatible...this is where you need to have a little knowledge. And sorry, but you need to have a little knowledge. If things are working, DO NOT UPGRADE unless it has been tested and cleared. In the case of FCP 4...it has not.
Rule of thumb...if you use older software, you have to stick to older versions of the OS and components that that software relies on.
How many things were broken with Vista? So many that the HUGE community let out a cry and now XP is available again configured on machines or as a stand alone buy. And no, Vista didn't warn that certain applications wouldn't work either.
You gotta research and find out. This place here...this forum...is a FANTASTIC place to find stuff like this out.
BTW...Apple doesn't read these forums, only us users. Gotta submit feedback here:

You may wish to be more specific here regarding your question. Yosemite was, of course, officially released on 16 Oct '14, As to FCP, v6.0.6 still functions (but my Motion v3.0.2 is no longer supported).

Camera's Compatable with Final Cut Pro Studio 2

So I'm looking at buying a camera and the new final cut pro studio 2. The camera I was looking at getting was the Canon GL2, but Final Cut Studio 2 doesn't list that camera as one that is compatable and they don't really list many that are. I was wondering if the camera they list that work are just recommended ones or if they are the only ones that will work. Also if anyone has any suggestions for a decent camera. I really only want to spend a little over $2000. Thanks
- Josh -

Apple has long listed the GL1 but not the GL2 but I have no idea why. I have used the GL2 with FCP versions 1,2.3 and 4 and have Studio 2 on order and expect no problems. Using a camera for capture is pretty hard on it so I use an inexpensive mini-dv deck because I much prefer batch capturing everything and doing THAT with a camera (all the start stop and such) is even worse so I suggest a deck. I don't have Studio Pro 2 yet but I am expecting no problems....

Compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro

I'm getting ready to edit a project and I was wondering if there are any compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro. I've never used Express put I assume I would be able to make cuts, simple effects and titles. Is this correct.
If I transfer project files from one platform to the other will i run into any issues?
Thanks for all and any help.

Although they operate in a similar fashion that are not fully compatible. You can open a FCE project in FCP, but once you've edited it in FCP you can't go back to FCE.

FCE with Final cut pro server

Hallo everybody, I work in a tv station and we are gonna buy 20mac with fcexpress. My question is : if I install final cut pro server on a specific server, do those 2 programs can work together?
Thanks

You could try Frameline 47, this application is designed to network together video workstations, and enable content and metadata to be shared. It also supports Final Cut XML, which you can use with FCE.

Final Cut Pro Project compatibility with FC Express

Hello, I have the latest universal version of Final Cut Pro. If I edit a project can someone with Final Cut Express open it and work on it?
THanks,

No -- nothing I can think of will work...
Can go the other way... but not down to FCE.

Final Cut Pro Compatability with OS 10.4 Tiger - Easy Question

Right now I am cutting a feature film on Final Cut Pro 4.5 HD, OS Panther (10.3.9). As soon as I'm done with this project, I'd like to upgrade to OS 10.4 because I will be cutting a new feature in HDV (24p footage using HDVxDV to digitize and convert to DVCPRO HD).
My question is this...does Final Cuto Pro 4.5 work in OS 10.4? Or do I HAVE TO get the Final Cut Pro 5 upgrade in order for FCP to work in Tiger?
Thanks for the help.
PowerMac G5, 2gHz, 2GB RAM Mac OS X (10.3.9) 500 GB G-RAID x4, Canopus ADVC-110, Sony DSR-45
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I switched because I wanted to use the MultiCam, plus for the integration with Shake (which I use extensively) and in the bigger picture, I wanted Motion 2 over Motion 1, so it made sense to upgrade to Final Cut Studio.
But if you're looking for any BIG changes in the user interface or effects, etc, don't mess with your smooth functioning system. FCP 5 introduced a new RT system that causes interruptions in playback during shuttling when the mouse is moved and from general anecdotes is just not as smooth as in prior revs.
For me, I'm happy I upgraded, but if it doesn't bring you any features you're looking for, you should probably stay with the system you're happy with.
