Final Cut settings for JVC GZ-HD7AH Camera

I have connected the camera via the DV socket to the computer firewire 800 and the software does not find the camera. What am i doing wrong.

FireWire capture is primarily for tape-based media. Sounds like this is standard definition video. You probably need to use MPEG Streamclip to convert this to QuickTme as Final Cut doesn't work with this media. For higher quality throughout your workflow I'd suggest converting it to ProRes LT.
Or DVCPRO 50.

  • Final Cut Settings for Panasonic HDC-HS20 Camera

    I have connected the camera via the USB from the camera to the computer and the software does not find the camera. What am i doing wrong. It works in imovie

    Is the camera drive or card(which is it) mounted on the desktop? What happens when you use the add volume button and select the drive/card? What format exactly is your media?

  • Final Cut Pro for PowerPc G3 Mac

    is there Final Cut Pro for PowerPc G3 Mac, Im pretty sure I need version 2.0, so please comment a download like, or comment if you know anything, thanks

    This is the Final Cut Pro X forum. The software you want is not supported on any forum. Obsolete Intel technology is on the Final Cut Studio forum.
    Bottom line: modern camera formats are not available for PowerPC technology. You need to upgrade your hardware.

  • Using Final Cut Express for video editing without attaching external device

    Hello,
    I am a newbie to Final Cut Express as well as Mac's in general. I am wanting to use Final Cut Express for video editing of files, but without an attached camera. Is there any way to have Final Cut Express startup without having it prompt for an external A/V device? I just want to do some basic editing and use the chroma key feature. Can anyone help?
    Greatly Appreciated,

    Hi Zak,
    Unfortunately, I've tried that and I get into an issue that was addressed in this posting: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=836595&tstart=120 where FCE will show the splash screen and then the program doesn't start. I then have to delete FCE preferences and then I will get the Easy Setup dialog box prompt me again for choosing the external device.
    I am looking for a way to use FCE for video editing of files that I already have on my computer that I created using iClone software and is in .avi, or .mp4 format. I get FCE to work one time without the external device actually being attached, but then when restarting the program I get the dialog box asking for the external device and if it's not there, the program just closes, and to get it to work again, I have to delete the preference files and go through the process all over again which is time consuming especially when this is at work. If FCE is not the right program, can anyone suggest a good video editing program that doesn't require an external device and is as good or better than FCE?
    Thanks again for your help and support,

  • Final Cut Server for audio assets?

    Hi all,
    Anyone have thoughts on using Final Cut Server for managing audio projects? I can see games programmers also needing it big time but can't see much info on how FC Studio handles audio assets. As for managing all material for an album...
    If anyone has any info, I'd be pleased to hear it.
    Thanks!

    We are currently using it as a Photo/Video database.
    I've only put about 3000 images/clips in there so far
    but it seems to be working well.
    We are running it on a old Quad G5 and have some
    custom conversions set up for adding images and
    videos.
    Our Web team can take our videos and in two clicks
    have a WMV and FLV video for their sites and then
    select a few images and do a quick convert to web
    sized imges..all within FCS
    It would be nice to see a open architecture with plugin support
    and more file compatibility, but for now it works great
    as a database for images and video.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
    Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
    See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
    hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

  • I am opening a public access/community TV station soon. We are thinking of using Final Cut X for our staff

    I am opening a public access/community TV station very soon. We are thinking of using Final Cut X for our staff and community producers. I am curious if there are any special discounts for multiple purchases of computers, but also for Final Cut X software? Does anyone reading have any experience from a public access TV perspective?

    Hi SCaryPictures,
    I run a PEG station, where I have used FCP7, AvidExpressPro, Adobe CS6/CC, and FCPX - I am approaching 2 years with my FCPX experience. I'd be happy to engage with you in a private email thread about my experience (I value my access to the people on this forum, and I don't want the Apple staffers to take offence.) Good luck founding your station!

  • I have been using final cut express for years and now want to switch to final cut studio 3. do I have to remove final cut express before installing final cut studio 3 or can I have them both installed at the same time on one computer?

    I have been using final cut express for years and now want to switch to final cut studio 3. do I have to remove final cut express before installing final cut studio 3 or can I have them both installed at the same time on one computer?

    You can have them both on the same computer as I and many others have done for years.
    Just go ahead and install FCS 3 normally.
    There will be absolutely no problems.

  • New Imac/New Final Cut Ex/New JVC Hard Disc Camcorder no bueno!!!!

    New Imac/New Final Cut Ex/New JVC Hard Disc Camcorder
    Please help me. I have been editing on a tiny little pc, and finally made the switch. Now, I can't access any of my videos, can't edit or even open the files. If all the files are moi or mod, what does final cut express need to open the files? How do I go about converting them? Such a big powerful machine, such limited accessibility!
    Thanks!

    FCE4 on an Intel Mac can only edit DV, HDV and AVCHD video.
    All other formats will not work.
    You will have to download an app like Streamclip to convert your non-standard files to DV.

  • I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

    I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

    I took away my backup disk with me so just took it from there excellent. I am back home at present working on my imac. When I go to use my macbook air on these projects (when away on boat) is it easiest to simply copy the Project and Events folders in total from my imac onto the other machine and do the same upon my return in reverse? I don't use icloud

  • Does Final Cut allow for "multi-cameras," like Vegas Pro, that would allow me to create split-screens in a movie?

    I am trying to create a front and back camera view from two cameras simultaneously.
    I am considering the purchase of video editing software that goes beyond iphoto. I am told that Vegas Pro will do this. Does Final Cut? (I would prefer to work in a Mac program).

    Andnick,
    Thanks for your reply. My bad. My terminology was mistaken. I meant to ask whether I could do "picture-in-picture," so that I have a rear view camera (view) in a forward view clip. Does that make sense?

  • Optimal export from Canon Vixia HV30 via Final Cut Express for Blip.tv

    I am looking to optimize the export of my videos from Final Cut Express (4.0.1). I shoot HD Widescreen on a Canon Vixia HV30. I've been having problems getting good quality in a smallish package.
    For some reason, the videos come off the camera at the odd ratio of 496 x 279. This means I have to export them that size, but the final product ends up being huge. Literally, the screen is larger than the computer screen, and I have to view it on half size. I feel I could get more bang for my buck if these videos could be exported smaller initially.
    Here are my settings for export (as Quicktime Movie with Quicktime conversion):
    Compression: H.264
    Quality: High
    Key frame rate: 24
    Encoding: Multi-pass
    The only tweak I make is to set the kbits/sec to between 3000 and 3500, which gets me a decent looking video that's about two minutes long and between 40 and 70MB.
    If I try to tweak the ratio or the format, the picture gets squeezed or the quality drops significantly. I've also been running into the problem of skipping playback on Blip.tv, which recently switched to a new version of Flash.
    Any help on how to shrink the video and keep the quality?
    Regards,
    Philip

    Export to where? Where are you trying to get to? Export QuickTime Movie is the original converted FCE media file.

  • I am using Final Cut Pro for the first time...Converted from Premiere Pro

    The interface seems very similar, but I wanted to know why it's not accepting my .avi files? I read in the help book that it's not rendered for final cut, but all my files are in this format. Is there something else I can do to get final cut to allow playback in real time?
    Thanks
    P.S
    If you have any tips for me since im new to final cut...send them too me thanks.

    You'll need to convert your AVIs into a Quicktime format that matches the settings on your timeline if you want to avoid having to render your AVIs in order to play them.
    The best way to do this would be to open them in the Quicktime Player then export as Quicktime DV Pal (or NTSC or whatever format you're working in).
    On the other hand, if your AVIs were generated by a codec locked into a PC video card such as Canopus then you'l need to go back to Premiere and export your AVIs as Quicktime or put them bacck onto tape and capture in FCP.
    If this doesn't work then you'll need to give more details about where the AVIs came from, the codecs used etc.
    Good luck
