Final cut query

when cutting footage on the timeline and i see something i want to use later i'd like to use the range tool to quickly select it and drag it into a new bin.
is there a way of changing the name of the clip i've selected and put in the new bin without changing the master clip name?
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

ok, probably not making myself clear.
on my timeline i have a 90 min clip digitised by a tape op and therefore not logged. scooting through i find, for example, some atmos which i know i will need later. using the range tool i select the audio only, option drag it into a new bin. so far no problem. it's quick, easy and my timeline clip does not have loads of pointless cuts which need 'join thru edit' applied. if i want to use the atmos i select the clip from the new bin, and it opens with the ins and out marked in the viewer and away i go. BUT it shares the name of the master clip it came from as do all clips from that source. what i want to do is break the relationship - ie make the clip independent - so i can name it 'atmos' for example and easily retrieve it from the list of cutaways etc when i need it. there must be a way...!
surely your method suffers the same problem? all bits selected from the same clip on timeline and put in a bin share the same name.

Final Cut Studio 2 and New Macbooks with Nvidia graphics

Do the new Macbooks announced today (10/14/2008) meet the minimum system requirements for running Final Cut Studio 2?

Lecturing? Really? Not hardly, but I'll answer your query as succinctly as possible.
Will the new Macbook run Final Cut Studio 2? I will wager that FCP will operate, DVD SP will operate and Soundtrack Pro will operate. I highly doubt Color will operate and am not sure about Motion due to the graphics card.
That should answer your question. To "lecture" some more, where will you have media stored and how will you get media, any sort of media into these applications?
As far as graphics and video are concerned, that distinction has been met above. I'm sure the Macbook will operate Photoshop with no problem.
But again, why not check the minimum tech specs for yourself?

Final Cut Pro losing filters?

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro from Tiger to Leopard. I was running Final Cut Pro 5.1 academic. Before I upgraded, I was in the process of editing a video. Parts of the video used the filters "Light Rays" and "Directional Blur." When I go to work on the video now, it tells me that it is unable to load "Light Rays" and "Directional Blur." When I checked for them in the effects tab, they are not there. It won't let me render anything until they are reinstalled. What do I do? Thanks!

Mr. Amazing,
If you've not gathered yet, it helps amazingly so to be very accurate and concise both in vernacular and actions. If you've not gathered, updating is nothing like a fresh installation: words simply cannot be bandied about if you expect prompt, accurate and concise help. It took how many posts to get to this part? Mr. S. is very knowledgeable and his patience, although deeper than mine, does have boundaries, amazingly enough.
There's another amazing feature of the forum and that is the little used and very hidden Search function. There it is, in the upper right hand corner of this page. It can be very useful and a great boon, provided it's used.
The most amazing aspect of this forum, however, is the boundless patience of it's users and readers for your query has been asked and answered, no matter what it is, probably a thousand times before. In your case, Mr. S. provided an answer to your problem very early in the thread, I would advise rereading it and taking his advice to heart.

Uninstall Final Cut Studio Pro 2 (buggy)

Really Frustrated with FCPS2, can any tell me how to remove Studio from my system. I need to go back to 5, but need to clean out the buggy Final Cut Pro Studio 2

You can do a "clean" install of your OS, or you can:
http://proapptips.com/tips/article.php?story=20060927223215377&query=reinstall
the clean install is the most hotly debated topic right now, other than the utility of "Content Creation with Final Cut Studio" forum. you decide. good luck.

Do I have to reinstall final cut studio to get quicktime 7 pro to unlock?

I have installed Final Cut Studio 2
Then when I noticed the Quicktime 7 Pro was not there I did some research, Found Quicktime 7 on the Snow Leopard EXTRA disk and installed it.
Now, do I have to RE-install Final Cut Studio to get Quicktime 7 pro to unlock?
I scoured the forums and couldn't find anything. If there is something please lead me to it.
THIS THREAD DOES NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION even though it says answered. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12464345&#12464345
Please help, thanks in advance.

This isn't related to your query, just a note to say that you've marked this topic as answered (at the time at which I'm making my reply). It might be best to mark it as "not answered" again, just in case folks pass over it assuming that it has been resolved.

After updating Final Cut X with Libraries feature most of media has turned to red "missing proxy".

I opened Final Cut X this morning and it told me I could not work on my projects until I updated them to Libraries. I made the update and now most everything has the red "missing proxy" screen on it. I am very upset because I have been working on a big project for 2 weeks and cannot work until this is resolved. Where are my projects???? Why is everything in red??? Somebody PLEASE advise!!

This is a very common question and has been answered many times. Have you searched this forum with your query? Did you save your old projects/events or are they in the trash?

Final Cut Express: Basic Troubleshooting
There are many problems that can occur in any version of Final Cut Express and each one is generally best treated with a solution specifically tailored to it. However, you will generally get the best results if you follow a simple step-by-step approach to troubleshooting outlined here.
1. Quit the application.
2. Is your computer supported by the version of FCE you are running?
Final Cut is particularly susceptible to problems when being used in conjunction with hardware, operating systems, and versions of Quicktime other than those that are supported. Always check before updating to see if the version you are running will continue to be supported. You can view the hardware requirements for FCE4 [here|http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/specs.html]. Note that FCE4 is the only version of the program supported by Snow Leopard. It is generally a good idea when working with Pro Apps to do a complete erase and install when updating to a new OS and then reinstall the program afterwards. Never update any critical software such as Quicktime or your OS when you are in the middle of an important project. Always keep a backup in case something goes wrong when you do.
3. Is your software fully updated to the current version?
In the upper menu bar, select the  symbol and click +Software Update+ in the contextual menu that appears. Make sure to download any Final Cut Express, Quicktime (if supported by the version of FCE you are running) , ProKit, and other important updates that the system recommends. Updated versions provide critical bug fixes and improvements that may solve the problem you were experiencing.
4. Are you using supported external hardware?
FCE can capture using FireWire from camcorders recording in DV-NTSC, DV-PAL, or HDV and can ingest using USB from AVCHD camcorders. Make sure that your recording device is compliant with one of these formats and not some related variant (such as AVCHD Lite). External USB drives are not supported by Apple for video editing - if you are experiencing problems while using one try disconnecting it and see if the issue persists.
5. Trash your preference files and repair disk permissions.
Whenever you have trouble in Final Cut Express it is almost always a good idea start by trashing your preference files. These can easily get corrupted and many problems can be quickly fixed by giving them a dump. The Apple Knowledge Base article found [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2611] outlines how to do this - [Tom Wolsky|http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=342090] also describes a good method [here|http://fcpbook.com/Misc1.html]. It is also a good idea to repair any permissions issues that may have arisen, and you can find a good description of the process [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963?viewlocale=en_US].
6. Search the discussion forums for solutions to similar problems.
You may be experiencing a common problem with the application or one that has been addressed when brought up by other users. Enter your query in the search bar on Apple Discussions and narrow your question to the [FCE forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=936&start=0] to get the most accurate results. Unless something very strange is going on it’s likely that you will find an answer or proposed solution has already been posted.
7. Start a new topic.
If you are unable to find an already posted solution on the forum that works for you and trashing your preference files has not fixed your problem, post a new topic in the FCE forum describing what is going on. Be as descriptive as possible and make sure to include pertinent information such as the specifications of your computer, OS, Quicktime version, the sequence you are editing in within the program, and the clip you are placing in it if this relates to the problem you are experiencing. Refer to [Eric W.|http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=337386]’s announcement [How to Post a new Topic|http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=650] for more information.
8. Perform a complete removal of the application and reinstall.
If you are not receiving working answers to your problem or it appears that your dilemma has not been reproduced in the past, try reinstalling FCE. You should first completely remove all traces of the program. Digital Rebellion has a nice free application called [FCS Remover|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm] which automatically does this - alternatively you can manually do it by moving all components listed [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47818?viewlocale=en_US] to the trash and emptying it. Note that the files listed may be named something slightly different if you are using a different version of Final Cut.
9. Contact Apple.
If all else fails, you should go ahead and contact Apple. It’s possible that you received a faulty disc or that they will have a solution to the problem that no one else has thought of. You can find pertinent contact information [here|http://www.apple.com/contact>.

Send to Apple TV From Final Cut Server

This was pretty simple, but clients really seem to appreciate having the functionality. Basically all you have to do is follow these steps to create a checkbox that can send any asset to your Apple TV for client viewing.
1. Create the field "Send to Apple TV".
2. Add that field to your Asset Search MD group and the MD goup that you wish people to access it in.
3. Create a Final Cut Server Playlist in iTunes
4. Open Automator in OSX. Create a Folder Action using the "Add Songs to Playlist" action from iTunes.
- Choose your Final Cut Server Playlist
5. Assign the folder action to a folder of your choice.
6. Create a Device "Apple TV" in Final Cut Server that points to that folder.
7. Create a transcode setting for "Apple TV H.264" and import to Final Cut Server
- Assign this transcode setting to your Apple TV Device
8. Create a "Send to Apple TV" Copy Response
- The destination device is "Apple TV"
- Transcode Setting is "Apple TV H.264"
9. Open Itunes on the Final Cut Server
- Setup your Apple TV
- Have the Apple TV automatically get the latest files from your Final Cut Server Playlist and send them to your Apple TV.
Done!

Mini-Dvi to Video out from Final Cut Pro working

Thanx Everybody for posting reply for my post regarding running video out to external TV from Final Cut Pro in MacBook.
It's working fine.

@ Studio X : The files were originally created with Final Cut Pro, rendered out to QuickTime, then are being played back with Final Cut Pro. The file that has the most noticable studdering is a 60-minute timeline sequence in Final Cut. All files are being stored and played back from the Mac Mini's internal hard drive. Everything was originally shot on DV and formatted for a 4:3 aspect ratio.
@ Shane Ross : Are there any settings in the MacOS or FCP where I can improve the HDMI video signal? Or do you know of / have any experience with Firewire to HDMI converters? Unfortunately, my new signal path relies on HDMI from the video playback.
My current setup uses the Firewire output, which is then converted to composite video & analog audio using a pair of ageing DV tape decks. That setup is becoming troublesome due to age.

I just updated my RAM and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

I just updated my RAM (replaced the two 2 gig cards with two Corsair 8 gig cards) and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times with Photoshop and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

How to use Final Cut Pro with multiple user accounts?

Hi,
I want to use Final Cut Pro on a clean user account. How do I set it up? How can I access my old FCP library and still work on it from multiple users?
Also, I want my DropBox account to back-up my media. Any tips?

I use external drives as backup. But I don't trust them. And in case of fire or what ever...It is of no use...
But I agree on your comment about DropBox. It would have been the perfect solution though.
What else is there?
I have a 2TB HD but these projects are huge and still growing - so I have to move my projects to several external drives. So maybe I should just work directly from external drives and skip the partition of the computers main drive? I am thinking of the disadvantage of reducing the total storage of the disk.

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. How can I move entire project and application from one internal hard drive to another? Ran out of space on one drive. Thanks.

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. My video project is 95% done and I've run out of space on my 500g internal hard drive. How can I (1) move the complete FCE program and video to my unused 250g internal hard drive and operate it from there and (2) how do I then purge all the FCE info from the 500g drive without losing anything from the 250 drive?
Also, is it possible to change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 when the project is finished? If so, how? I now know this all should have been done before I started. Thanks for the help.

1. You can't move the application. It must remain on the system drive. Move your capture scratch folder to the external FireWire drive and use the reconnect function in the project.
2. What's the media 16:9 or 4:3?
