Final Cut Pro X - working with fps

Hello,
I started to work with FCPX 10.1.1 and I am not sure about one thing. I have GoPro camera and shoot in 60fps because I want to slow down some shots. But when I start new project I set FullHD quality and jsut 30fps. What does happen with my 60fps video when I import it here? Does it change to 30fps?
I wanted to have final video in 30fps, because it's enough for watching but now when I want to slow down some shots it's not so smooth. I guess it's beause my 60fps was transformed to 30fps. Is it possible to somehow have just some clips in 60fps?
Or maybe it would be better to have all movie in 60 fps and at the export transfer to 30fps? I don't know.
Thank you for your advices.

'rate conform' has nothing to do with Compounds.
drag your 60fps in your 30fps project.
=> FCPX will 'adopt' the playback speed, so 1sec is kept 1sec.
select that clip, apply 'automatic' - and your 60fps will be automatically 'stretched' to your 30fps timeline = 50% slow-mo.
anyhow:
follow Luis suggestion, learn FCPX from the ground, esp. its own 'nomenclatura' ...
ceterum censeo:
compounds are evil ...

  • Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

    Thanks Tom.
    So I will need  upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
    Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?

  • Will Final Cut Pro X work with Yosemite

    Will Final Cut Pro X work with Yosemite?

    me too version 10.8. It would have been nice to know yosemite was going to crap out my primary video editing software! I use this for my video editing for my business video production and it would have been nice to know ahead of time or here's a crazy idea how about the software developers who are making millions off final cut pro sales release a fix BEFORE apple roles out yosemite for free. I don't have time to chase down every blog in the world to see issues etc. The reason I bought a mac is I just need it to work so I can work on my business.

  • Final cut pro not working with Yosemite

    I yesterday installed Yosemite and the previous version of Final Cut Pro does not work with it.  When I try to install the latest version of Final Cut Pro from the purchased tab in the app store, I get the message:  "Final Cut can't be installed on this computer because it requires at least 4 GB of memory".  When I go to the storage tab in "About This Mac", it shows that I have 154.49 GB free of 319.21 GB.  Can someone help?  Many thanks. 

    It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.  I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite.  I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating. 

  • Will Final Cut Pro X work with mavericks

    Was thinking about upgrading to Mavericks on my Mac Book Pro Retina but wanted to know, 1) will it use a lot more storage and 2) will it work with Final Cut Pro X?

    When I was running the supposed GM of Mavericks just before it was released, FCPX wouldn't let me import ANYthing into it. When the import window would open it wouldn't let me choose anything. FCPX became useless and I would have to force quit it. So, I'm a little hesitant to upgrade to it today.

  • Which version of Final Cut Pro will work with Mac Book 10.75?

    I can not put Final Cut Pro 9 on my Mac Book 10.75 (Lion).
    Which version of Final Cut Pro will run on Mac Book 10.75 (Lion).
    Thanks

    Ok, first, your questions's answers:
    FCS1 had a full version & an upgrade from any version of FCP. You only need the serial # handy when installing FCS upgrade.
    Now FCS2 has TWO upgrade versions: one was for FCS1 ($499), the other was from any version of FCP ($699).
    NOTE: Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.
    http://gizmodo.com/252425/apple-rolls-out-final-cut-studio-2-first-impressions
    Here's something else to consider: with the march away from the PPC as a whole & your upgrade cost to FCS3 is $299, I would be very careful how much you spend for the older copies.
    If FCS1 or 2 is too hard to come by or cost what it did originally (or more), you may want to consider picking up a (used or new) Intel Mac with ATI or Nvidia graphics. even the newest mini might surpise you & get you by until you can afford something else.
    Good luck!

  • Final Cut Pro not working with Snow Leopard.

    Hello, folks, happy holidays and new year to you all.
    I have just recently found out the FCP 5 (fully updated, but I don't know what the exact version is) is not opening. It bounces in the dock, and that's it. However, the other apps are all working fine, Motion, DVD Pro, and Live Type. Soundtrack Pro is working as well, but I also own that with Logic, so I don't know which version it is.
    I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.2, this is on my desktop. I have repaired permissions.
    What I haven't done, is to see if it boots from my backup 10.5.8 drive, as well as see if it is working on my laptop. The reason I'm posting is to see if there is a known problem and easy solution. Thanks all!

  • Does Final Cut Pro 7 work with Mavericks?

    The title says it all, I'm afraid to upgrade to Mavericks and have my FCP 7 stop working....
    thanks

    Software / hardware harmony is a tricky business. It really boils down to two strategies.
    The first is what I call the lockdown model - which is what you've largely done and is often the model followed by people who MUST have a reliable system to do their work. This involves freezing the system at a known state where the hardware, OS and relevant software all work reliably and you can accomplish your tasks with a minimum of hassle. The upside is you come in, do your job, go home and don't have to think too much about the tool(s). The downside is if something breaks (usually hardware) or you need to change to a new software and it has been a long time (in computer terms) since there was any change, you often need to upgrade/update a LOT of stuff all at once - which is expensive, painful and highly disruptive.
    The other model is the "merry go round" model. This is where you are on a gradual upgrade/update path. You wait a few months after new versions of your software come out which gives the early adopters time to identify and sort the issues. At that point you can often update/upgrade with a level of certainty the system will work. The upside of this path is you stay reasonably current with hardware, OS and software and, since you've done this gradually but continuously, the costs are spread out over a longer period of time. The downside is there will be hiccups and the system will need more troubleshootiing if something unforseen in the necessary installation goes bad.
    In either path, it is imperative to keep a good working clone of a "known to be good" version of the system (OS & software).
    Ian points out a good strategy to start the migration to a new OS. A partition with the new system/software to test that can be booted from your existing system is a time honored protocol.
    One thing is certain, the great river of technology is not slowing down and if you make your living swimming in it, you must pay attention to where it's heading. This means trying to stay aware of the trends and thiinking over the horizon about how all that is going to affect your work.
    Good luck,

  • Import from Final Cut Pro not working correctly

    I have a very simple project in FCP. (Ver 6) It is a HD clip that is about 5 min long with 7 chapter markers.
    I exported the project as an XML file and imported that into Premiere Pro empty project.
    I wind up with two assets, a .mov with same name as the .mov in FCP and a sequence with the same named sequence in FCP.
    Right clicking on the .mov and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates a new sequence with the .mov on the timeline.
    There are no markers.
    Right clicking on the sequence asset and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates another sequence with the same name and the .mov on the timeline.
    The markers are inside the .mov and audio tracks, not up on the top ruler line where markers appear when manually adding markers.
    The keystrokes to move to markers do not work.
    The "Clear all Markers" function is greyed out , like it is when no markers exist.
    If a "Dynamic link to Encore is performed, there is no markers in Encore.
    If you enter chapter markers manually and look at the project file (an XML file) you will see indexes with the chapter points , durations and names as children named "Markers" with attribute"ObjectID='22'.under "//PremiereData"
    Following , in sequential order, are subsequent objects "Markers", ObjectID='23" through "ObjectID=n
    However, if you look at the project file after importing a FCP project, this same function occurs, except that it is "Markers" "ObjectID=30 with the indexes and marker data 31 through n (further down in the file). This area is empty when adding the markers manually in Premiere Pro.
    FYI , the project file is littered with the word "Marker" and "Markers" throughout the file, only their attributes make any node unique.
    I am at 99.9 &% finished with a VB program to create / modify nodes, values and attributes, except that the XML date changes format at the node named "//WorkspaceSettings" so I am not able to edit values to make a file that will not crash when opening.
    I would very much like the import from Final Cut Pro to work, or someone explain how to work with the nodes under "//WorkspaceSettings"
    Thank millions for a solution.

  • Is Final Cut Pro 3 compatible with MAC OS 10.4?

    Is Final Cut Pro 3 compatible with MAC OS 10.4?
    867x2 Mirror Door G4   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    re:FCP3
    Some people purchase FCP3 and then the upgrade to FCP5. It is less expensive than purchasing FCP5 as a new install. You may be able to find a copy of FCP4.5HD out there as well for a low price.
    That being said, while some use FCP3 (or FCP4.5) with 10.4, 10.4.x and QT7.x. will be happiest with FCP5.
    re: burning.
    Once the file is exported as a quicktime DV file, iMovie does not care about the origin. It should work just fine. DVDSP gives you much more control and greater flexability in setting up menus, looks, operation etc, but is not required.
    Good luck.

  • Doe Final Cut Pro 7 work in Yosemite?

    Does anyone know if Final Cut Pro 7 work in the new Yosemite upgrade?

    Thank for the advice and link, Meg, but your are overly paranoid RE CleanMyMac 2. For fear of hijacking this tread (FCP + Yosamite) I will be very brief. (And, no, I do not work for MacPaw and am generally not a fan of their software.)
    I've been a Mac-man since '84, and still have my 512k Mac SE (Yes, I still have it working). Now I am a Certified Computer Forensic Examiner and know very very well what goes on under the hood of OS X, am very familiar with the directory corruption that seems so persistent in the HFS+ file system, the relatively unstable permissions and all the crap that doesn't get cleaned out or managed "automatically" or at all by OS X.  I don't need Arabic, French, Spanish, Danish or any other of the multitude of language iterations of OS X and/or other Apple software that unnecessarily sapping gigabytes of space on my machine. If I drag an App to the Trash there can be a multitude of extensions, drivers, settings/plists files and other junk that does NOT get removed with it... and if the average user discovers how to get into their relatively hidden Users/(Profile)/Library and try to remove stuff manually they are very likely to screw up their OS or break their other software. I have tested CleanMyMac 2 in a lab environment and, while the original was kind of screwy and less effective, CleanMyMac 2, does an excellent job of getting rid of totally unnecessary, disk-bloating CRAP from your drive and does it in a manner that is way more efficient and reliable than trying to do it manually. I've never had a negative experience with CMM2 and have found it to be no more difficult to remove manually than any of a bunch of other software.
    While it does nothing to correct permissions errors or fix directory issues (sorry OS X Disk Utility ***** at that), I've found it to do an excellent job at locating and cleaning out all the stuff that OS X simply does not do on its own and does result in a more efficient, slightly faster-running machine.
    Again, Meg, I appreciate your trying to help me out and provide caution regarding "cleaning" software. I, myself remain generally dubious about other products from MacPaw (particularly Gemini). It is certainly your right to avoid all of it and even Troll my feedback regarding CMM2. But lab results don't lie and my experience has consistently shown CleanMyMac 2 to be useful and non-destructive to my system and/or other software. 
    ...... And it was an effective utility I used to get my FCP 7 to work again.

  • Can you upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with upgrade?

    Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with $699 upgrade?
    I purchased Final Cut Pro 2 years back and then purchased the Final Cut Pro 3 upgrade. I have not used it in years, but now I want to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. Is this possible by just purchasing the upgrade?

    Apple's web page has the requirements:
    http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearnMo re=MA886Z/A
    The $699.00 upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.

  • If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work?

    If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work? My current version of Final Cut Pro is 6.0.6. Thanks.

    Apple is not telling you the Complete story about Lion.
    The installer for FCP 6 is Power PC code/ IBM CPU code, which Lion does not support.
    FCP 6 is NOT Power PC code, it will run on Lion and Mountain Lion, as I have read on many posts.
    The solution??
    Solution condition where FCP 6 installed and upgrading OS to Lion
    Do nothing, its already running OK
    Solution condition where FCP 6 not installed and OS Lion installed.
    Connect a firewire drive to your MAC and install the old OS on it (eg snow leopard) ,
    Reboot to that OS
    Install FCP 6
    Reboot to your new OS   (EG Lion)
    Run FCP 6
