Final Cut Studio 2 Video Output

I just received Final Cut Studio 2. I had been using Final Cut Express HD and had my camera connected to the computer which was connected to another monitor for viewing playback. I cannot seem to figure out how to do this with Final Cut Studio 2. I have everything plugged in the same way, but it will not work. Any suggestions?
iMac

I hope this still works for FCP 6:
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Final Cut Studio Training DVD Tutorial

The DVD Tutorial is subtitled in Spanish, French, German and Japanese.
Why not in English? I'm deaf. Is there any way for me to get this DVD with English subtitles or captions?
17 in. Power Book Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I don't think so, but it might be worth a call to 1-800-MY-Apple for the answer.
Probably should be looking at other tutorials that are in print only...

Final Cut Studio 2 and video app chaos

Hi,
Did anyone find after installing Final Cut Studio 2 that their 3rd party apps to do with video extraction/conversion suddenly start to unexpectedly quit when in operation? It's a brand new MacPro, lovely machine until Final Cut software went and messed things up. I won't mention the trouble I had to install both Logic Studio and FCS since they both share similar components and included apps, Apple's installer is not designed to cope and I had to mess about with the receipts folder to get both installed. This page was available yesterday http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1110?locale=en_GB to give an insight of the problems between the two. Anyhow, I think the best solution is to remove Final Cut software as I'm not up for spending hours debugging.

I had a huge issue pop up with me too...and I figured the best way was to wipe the drive, install the OS and FCP from scratch. Took a day, but better than spending more time trying to figure things out.

Final Cut Studio & Size Of Video Player Window

I'm not sure if the answer to my question begins in Final Cut or a later step:
I produce online videos for clients in Final Cut, and in the end product I have been using 320 x 240 screen size, as it seems to have been the standard for modest file size and quick streaming.
Now on many sites I see a much larger video window that begins streaming crystal clear video almost immediately. If I can make larger videos for my clients I'd love to, but I'm not familiar with this technique except for creating the video as a massive file when exporting from Final Cut into the Windows Media export option with Flip4Mac and WMV.
What's the trick? And can Macs do it?
Thanks from Gina

Hard to say what others might be doing unless we can see what exactly you're talking about. Can you point us to one of the sites you're hoping to emulate?
But to attempt to answer your larger question, sure you can do what they do, for the most part, with Final Cut Studio. I'd wager that the bulk of videos available on the web, from producers as varied as major media corporations to dorky podcasters are produced with FCS on Macs.
The bulk of the videos on the web - especially those that load particularly quickly - are Flash files though, so yeah, you'll need some outside tools to emulate that aspect of things.

Final Cut Studio Videos

Hi Guys,
A while ago I found a bunch of really good 'getting started' videos on the apple website for products within the Final Cut Studio such as Final Cut Pro, but now I cant seem to find them anywhere, have they been removed?
I think the first video was all about setting up Final Cut Pro.
Thanks in advance,
Nick

Yes, Apple doesn't have them on line anymore.
For the most part, they merely explained new features and nothing more.
Lynda.com is a great resource.
I can Certify that I don't get paid for saying that
I found a 7 day free pass for you:

Best Final Cut Studio tutorial?

Hi,
I would like to know where to find the best tutorial for Final Cut Studio. I have found some free downloads on the internet, but I would like the best DVD on the market to learn about final cut pro, soundtrack and all the other programs in the Final Cut Studio package.
Best,
Okson

I don't know specifically about "DVD" tutorials. But lynda.com has some solid titles for apps in the Suite. There's also Ripple Training. Then as far as books go, the Apple Pro Training Series are quite thorough and easy to read.

Can I burn BluRay hi-def video W/ Final Cut Studio & external BluRay burner

According to this Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/whats-new.html
and Selecting the demo video: “Easy Export”,
I should be able with a new iMac and the latest version of Final Cut Studio, edit high definition 1920x1080i video from my Canon HV30, select a beautiful menu with chapter markers from DVD Studio Pro, and export to an external Blu-Ray burner and produce a Blu-Ray DVD disc compatible with most Blu-Ray players.
Reading through these Discussion forums, I get mixed messages that this can’t be done, or can only be done with limitations, even using the latest FCP Studio suite of Compressor, DVD Studio Pro, etc.
Other forum contributors recommend using Boot Camp and PC video editing software to get the Blu-Ray DVD.
And please don’t tell me to use Toast 10 Titanium to burn a Blu-Ray movie onto a standard DVD. I never got a successful burn from Toast, and the menus/chapters just don’t work nor compare with iDVD.
I am currently successfully burning standard definition, 16x9 DVD’s using Final Cut Express 3.5 and iDVD 7.0.4 with chapters, beautiful menus, with background music, etc, … using a 2004 iMacG5 PPC. The DVD video looks pretty good, but it is not hi-Def, and inferior to the video coming out of the Canon when connected directly to my Sony Plasma.
Can I, or can I NOT, ……..burn hi-def 1920x1080 video onto BluRay media (with an external Blu-Ray Lacie? Burner) using a new Apple iMac and the latest Final Cut Studio software?
I’m having second thoughts about spending a lot of money with Apple to get this done.
Thank You in Advance
BoBo

Here's what you can do with the latest version of Final Cut Studio.
-From within Final Cut Pro you can use the Share function from the menu.
-This gives you several output options (DVD, iPod H264, etc..). Select BluRay
-Click the create disk checkbox and a menu will slide out. This will enable you to add a basic pre-made menu for the disc. There are a few options, some being built-in menus with animations.
-You can choose to export directly to a BD-R, to a DVD using AVCHD rendering, or to hard disk. I suggest hard disk. This will create a disc image file you can then burn using disk utility. FCP may start beach-balling during the burn process and you could waste a disc.
-You then can click create, OR you can click Send to Compressor after making your menu selections. From Compressor you can make additional settings changes.
I've been creating blurays this way since November. I use the Lacie external BD-R burner over USB. We've had a good experience so far. Some older bluray players will need their firmware updated to view these discs. While the quality isn't on par with hollywood produced blurays, it is still very impressive. The footage we've shot with the Panasonic AG-HPX170 and taken to bluray has blown our clients away.
Notes: You cannot view the bluray you've created on your mac. You will need to test the disc on a stand-alone player or a bluray capable PC. As mentioned earlier, the menus it creates are very basic but functional. Loop option, chapter menus, and chapter titles as subtitles are as advanced as it gets.
If you have additional questions please ask.

Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade ruined my HD video files!

Okay, now I'm really puzzled. I installed Final Cut Studio 2 to upgrade my PowerMac G5. Now, all the HD footage I recorded, both in iMovie HD and in FCP 5 from my Sony HDR-FX1 camera has annoying green and red streaks that flash repeatedly. Even iMovie HD has the same problem when playing back old HD projects. The streaks also appear if I try playing the files back through Quicktime Player.
How do I know that the upgrade was the issue? As luck would have it, I still had my copy of FCP 5 installed. I opened one of the old HD projects in version 5 format in FCP 5, and the video plays back perfectly. Load the same project into FCP 6, and streaks.
Exactly how is this an "upgrade"? How do I fix?

Issue
Earlier versions of the applications in Final Cut Studio might not open or may behave unexpectedly if you use them on your computer after upgrading to Final Cut Studio 2.
When you upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2, there are a number of application-support resources that also get upgraded. Earlier versions of the applications in Final Cut Studio are not compatible with these newer support resources, and should not be used on a computer that has been upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2.
Affected Products:
Final Cut Pro
Motion
Soundtrack Pro
Compressor
DVD Studio Pro
Qmaster
Cinema Tools
LiveType
Solution
Don't move or rename Final Cut Studio applications after they're installed. If you have moved or renamed applications, they may still be present on your hard drive after you upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. You can delete the vestigial applications them by dragging them to the Trash.

Does any version of Final Cut studio support Mpeg4 Editing?

I have Final Cut Studio HD (version in the black box). I'm looking at buying a camera, and the one that seems to be the best fit is the Panasonic TM90. It's best mode is shooting progressive video with the Mpeg4 codec. Does my version support this? Does any version support this?

If you shoot any format OTHER than 1080p60, you use Log and Transfer to bring in the footage. Tutorial:
http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
For 1080p60, you need ClipWrap2 from divergentmedia.com. Because it is a non-standard shooting format.
And no, FCP 7 and earlier do not support editing from that camera without transcoding to ProRes.

New Intel dual and Final Cut don't play tutorial.

Hi,
Just installed my new Final Cut Studio on a new Intel dual core 1,83 GHz.
After a few hours of installing/upgrading all, I wanted to play the first PAL tutorial I copied to my Harddrive.
But as soon as Lower third titles appear, the system freezes.
I tried safe RT but than I have to render first.
I lowered compression rate, I used half the frame rate, I copied all to an other firewire disc, I don't use any other softs at the same time. But the system freezes in the tutorial with only 1 video track, 2 audio tracks and a title.
I'm a little dissappointed, cause I had a long discussion with Apple on the phone about the configuration and NOT wanting to wait for rendering anymore. I used a G4 1,33 but it has the same performance! What could be the problem?

Thanks for reacting, busy untill 02.00(Amsterdam) in the morning.
Using Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 5.1.2(latest update I think).
1GHz Ram and a MiniMac 1,83 dual core with external 7200 rpm firewire disc.
Sequence setting compressor PAL-DV 75 percent.
I spoke on the phone with techsupport of the Apple Store before buying all the stuff and this config should work fine. Also I read the systemdemands on the FCP site and all seems to be in order. But still need to render even with newly created sequence and easy setup PAL-DV. Back to the Apple Store?

Final Cut Studio Tutorials

I installed Final cut studio today.
When I went to do the Blue Horizon tutorial I could not locate the video and audio clips as outlined in the Final Cut Pro 5 section of the video. I followed all the steps exactly as outlined on the video.
Any help in locating these clips so I can proceed with the tutorial would greatly be appreciated.
Thank You,
Tim

Not sure where you put them? Try Spotlight.
You probably forgot to copy the resources from the installer DVDs to your hard drive. Pop the DVDs back into your optical drive.

SORRY, BUT MY PREVIOUS POSTING DIDN'T HAVE THE FULL LIST OF HARDWARE CONTENTS of my Power Mac G5.
Hello Final Cut Studio 2 Experts,
I'm considering purchasing Final Cut Studi 2, and to make sure that I'll benefit from the full range of specific application (FCS/motion/color...) and I'd like to ask few questions (5 main points) regarding requirements and recommendations. So, please be prepared for much reading as I am not an expert on the matter. I like to know if my computer accepts any further hardware parts highly recommended and if I can purchase and install them myself. And yes, you should also know that I intend to use a Panasonic multi-format (HD/SD) camera for capturing and exporting videos.
N.B. Please note that the full list of my Hardware contents appear at the bottom of this text.
THANKS IN ADVANCE for your expert advise!
So, here we go:
Application-Specific Requirements
Final Cut Studio
Capturing HD resolution video using the ProRes 422 format requires a Mac Pro with an Intel Xeon processor or a G5 Quad computer and a qualified third-party capture card.
1) Do I need an Intel Xeon processor? If yes, can I purchase and install the component by myself (like RAM)?
Motion
The standard graphics card in any Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, iMac with Intel Core Duo, Power Mac G5, or iMac G5; 1.25GHz or faster PowerBook G4; or 1.25GHz or faster flat-panel iMac:
ATI Radeon 9800, 9700 Pro, 9600 XT, or 9600 Pro
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 or 9600
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT, 7300 GT, 6600, 6600 LE, FX Go5200, or FX 5200 Ultra
For 16- and 32-bit rendering: a graphics card with at least 128MB of VRAM
2) Do I need one of the ATI Radeon 9800, 9700... or ATI Mobility Radeon? Why does my Hardware contents say ATI Radeon 9600, and not ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, is there a difference?
Color
The standard graphics card in any Mac Pro, 17-inch MacBook Pro, 24-inch iMac with Intel Core Duo, or 2.5GHz or faster Power Mac G5 Quad:
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600
ATI Radeon X1600
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT, 7600 GT, 7300 GT, 6600, or Quadro FX 4500
A display with 1680-by-1050 resolution or higher
A three-button mouse for full functionality
3) Do I need and ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 or ATI Radeon X1600?
DVD Studio Pro
For playback of DVD Studio Pro 4-authored HD DVDs: a Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G5 or Intel Core Duo processor
For writing finished projects to disc: an Apple SuperDrive or other DVD recorder
For writing finished projects to a double-layer disc: a double-layer-compatible recorder and double-layer media
For transporting HD projects to a replicator: an external drive or Internet transfer of the project’s disk image
For transporting SD projects that contain copy-protection or dual-layer features to a replicator: a DLT drive, external drive, or Internet transfer of the project’s disk image
4) Do I have an Intel Core Duo processor? Do I need an Apple SuperDrive?
What is a "replicator"?
Application-Specific Recommendations
Motion
One of the following graphics cards is highly recommended:
ATI Radeon X1900 XT, X850 XT, X800 XT, or X1600

How many computers can I install Final Cut Studio 2 on?

Here's my dilemma. I'm a poor soon-to-be college grad with an old 2004 PowerBook G4. I'm starting to do video projects this summer and want to get a new computer and Final Cut Studio 2. The problem is, I don't have money for both. However, my current computer DOES meet the requirements (1GB RAM, 1.5Ghz engine, and 17" monitor) to install the apps and run them. So, ideally, I would buy Final Cut Studio 2 and install it on this old computer until I saved up enough money to get myself a Mac Book Pro in a few months. Then, I would install FCS 2 on my new computer. Is this possible? Can I install FCS 2 on my old G4 and then months later when I get a new computer, on my new computer? Or at least transfer the apps to my new computer?
Thanks ahead of time! I haven't gone computer shopping in a while so I don't remember how this all works!

Install it on the PowerBook, and when you get the MacBook Pro, download and use this tool on the PowerBook prior to installing it on the MacBook Pro. The license for Final Cut Studio 2 permits it to be installed on a desktop and portable but not two portables.
If you're in the middle of a project when you get the MacBook Pro, complete it before changing the configuration.
