Final cut support

I edited a sequence together in final cut, exported the video and audio seperetaly and put them in together in a dvd burning app. On the dvd the audio sync with the video was fine. Then I relized that I had no use for the render files or footage, so I deleted those. About a month later I wanted to upload it to the web, so I brought the audio and video back in to final cut, exprted the video and audio together (one single .mov file) for obvious reasons. I watched that and the audio was coming at least 1/3 after it should have to mach up with the video. The audio was even late in the sequence, but I'm using the right frame right sequence. Why is this happening?

The sound starts out in sync but after a min or so it starts getting ahead of the video. Sliding the track around would would sync it in one place but not in the other.
Yes correct, but you first sync up the start of the video by slipping the audio to match the video.
Then place edit points in the video track where the audio starts to go out of sync ( ctrl V )
Then increase or decrease the duration of the video between the edit points in sections using the ripple tool ( r ) at the new edit points to alter the over all length of the video in the timeline, but keeping the existing duration of the audio.
You edit the video to match the audio because its easier and quicker than changing the audio, but you can also do a bit of both.

Final Cut supported formats...

As I was unable to find a solution to my problem at Final Cut Pro help page , I have decided to post this here .
I bought my PB with FC Express 2 preinstalled .
Now , I shoot my "videos" with a Sony Cybershot photo camera . When I copy the footage onto my PB's HDD it comes in .mpg format .
I can watch that just fine with Quick Time (both video & audio). When I import the footage into FC and place in the trim window or the timeline , it doesn't have any sound anymore . This is quite annoing because the Final Cut help documentation says mpg is a supported format , and there is no bundled software within the Mac OS X to convert the footage into another supported format (like avi or mov) .
iMovie doesn't even import the files at all , Graphic Converter does open the files but doesn't export the sound .
I even tried to rip the sound from the footage with QT Pro in order to import it separately onto the audio timeline , but amazingly the option in Quick Time disappears from the export dialog box options ( though it works with divx and xvid ) .
I'm out of ideas , and I really need to make this work .
And I'm not gonna go back to Windows just for that .
Sorry if this is not the place to post this but I'm a bit desperate as I have some deadlines for some projects .
Thanx in advance for any sugestions .

Final cut update corrupted my data files

I downloaded the new update to Final Cut X
.. everythinng was working fine before this download... and I thought it was working fine after it.. i edited a video.. and it was working fine.. but when I went to export it.. it wouldn't export. I clicked on Youtube.. and nothing happened... i couldn't see anything working.
So i went to export it as a master file to see if that would work... and then it told me I had to update old files to make things work.. and it then told me i have corrupted files ( 2 of them)... I tried to just delete them but it won't let me..
So i tried to contact Apple... and the Final Cut support team wants $800 to answer questions.. or $100 per question. For a $299 program? .. seriously?
anyway..
I can't delete these files.. can't fix things.. i went to the Library folder and reset the preferences and still nothing works.. it now just says FInal cut is shutting down because to maintain the integrity of other files..
does anyboidy know what to do?
I don't exactly want to have to spend $800 for a problem that APPLE created with their download. They created the problem and they won't fix it. I find that incredibly arrogant. If their download created the problem shouldn't they help fix the problem?
in any case.. anyone have a solution ?

...Isn't it funny how the hard drive worked fine before and after the conversion the only files that magically disappeared were the ones that went through this conversion process. If a hard drive is corrupted shouldn't it have problems with other files too? All the other files are there on the hard drive and work fine...
No, actually not. That is exactly what is seen again and again and again when the HD index becomes corrupted!
I have seen people wonder 'where did that file go.. oh, I will find it latter...' and a [day|week|month] latter, the complete disk is useles.
If you are VERY lucky, Disk Utility will try to fix it, but it might only do so. The problem with D.U. is that it tries to repair the current index, not rebuild it.
Only tool I have ever found to be able to do so, is DiskWarrior.
And to my knowledge, FCPX does not have any rutines to delete the files during the update! It will ask to update the Event & Project files, but that is only the XML files, not the media files!
This screems: BACKUP NOW and do NOT write any other file to the disk! That is, if you have anything valuable on the disk...

Codec problems in final cut

I have a Brand New 17" inch MacBook Pro. Having a number of performance issues.
1. Running Photoshop CS5 I frequently get an error message saying "insufficient memory" when trying to add effects or save large files.
2. Running Final Cut Pro 7, I get the following error code when trying to render small video clips: "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type with out the corresponding hardware card".
Can anyone relate to this or help me out? Please.

DNxHD footage transcode in Final Cut Server?

I'm looking at setting up a directory watcher which will automatically transcode footage from HDV to Avid DNxHD.
Is this possible at all within Final Cut Server? It seems Final Cut support all of the codecs I have installed except that one.

The codec doesn't show up as a valid codec in the list when I try to make the custom transcode setting.
I'm doing the following:
SysPrefs -> Final Cut Server -> Automations -> "plus" -> File System Watcher -> Set up the watcher filter -> Responses -> "plus" -> Copy Response -> Transcode source to -> NO AVID CODEC in list.
Am I in the right place to be setting this up, or is there somewhere else I can make sure the codec appears?
We have set the threadsafe bit to see if that made a difference but there is still nothing from Avid in the list.
It shows up just fine in the other apps on the mac, is it an incompatibility with FCS and that codec?
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Chris.

Importing Vector Images/Pictures into FInal Cut

Questions about Vector Images in Movie Clips.
I have a Adobe Illustrator File of a Map of the World that I want to use in a NTSC format Documentary. It is a Vector Graphic and can be scaled infinitely. I wanted to get the Best possible Resolution when I import it to Final Cut Pro.
1). What Size & Quality should I make the Image?
2). What format is the best for importing that would keep the best resolution (JPEG/PNG/PDF etc?)
3). Does Final Cut support a Vector Image – thus when imported there would be no loss of resolution if there were Zoom ins to the Image?
Anything else I missed with this please let me know. Much appreciate any technical advice on this matter.
Sincerely,
-Div.

* yes it would, but you need to decide just how far you intend to zoom in .... if you expect to zoom in no more than, say, 3x, then it would make no sense to increase the resolution to 5x. *
Thanks very much guys.. I think that answers everything. Just realized that Illustrator has a Limitation on the Size of the TIFF that I can create so the max will have to do.

Can't install Final Cut Studio 2 because "PowerPC applications are no longer supported"

Bought a brand new 15" MacBookPro OS X 10.7 2.2Ghz Intel Core i7 and tried to install Final Cut Studio 2. Got the error message "You can't open the application FinalCutStudio.mpkg because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." Oh no, does this mean I have to spend more money!???

I'd like to provide an update on this situation in case anyone is in the same boat I am.
I went to the Apple store today. I asked if I could downgrade my operating system. They said no, since it came pre-installed with Lion. I asked if Final Cut Studio 3 was compatible with Lion. They said yes, for the most part. They said there was an issue exporting video in 1080p.
Of course, conveniently Apple is no longer selling FCS3 and the ones on Ebay I saw have gone up to more than $650 a copy. I am out $400 for stupidly buying FCS2 a few months ago, which is now useless to me. I told the Apple guy that I'm not buying FCS X until they work out all the kinks. This leaves me with this laptop that I bought for video editing with no editing software to use.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually considering getting Premiere Pro now for Apple, which is supported in Lion and is running a deal for 50% off. (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#lion-os) If Apple doesn't start selling FCS 3 again, they are really not giving me any choice but to switch!

I am trying to install Final cut pro studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported

I am trying to install Final cut pro 5 studio V1.0.1 (2005) on OS X lion. I get a message "You can't open the application final cut studio.mpkg because power pc application are no longer supported. My computer is New. Is their a link I can go to get tech support?

You won't find any help at tech support ... other than telling you the facts: Intel processor Macs require FCP 5.1 or higher. FCP 5.0 and earlier were written for PowerPC processor Macs, long before Apple switched to using Intel processors.
And then there's the issue of the OS. OS 7 will allow FCP 7 (and sometimes even FCP 6) to work OK, but versions earlier than that have spotty operation on Lion.
Here's a brief history of full FCP versions and recommended OS compatibility:
* = requires PPC             ** = works with both PPC and Intel                          *** = require Intel
FCP 1.0*       OS 9
FCP 2.0*       OS 9
FCP 3.0*       OS 9, OS 10.1, OS 10.2
FCP 4.0*       OS 10.2, 10.3
FCP 4.5*       OS 10.3
FCP 5.0*       OS 10.3 (OS 10.4?)
FCP 5.1**     OS 10.4, 10.5
FCP 6.0**     OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 (OS 10.7?)
FCP 7.0***    OS 10.6, OS 10.7
FCP-X***       OS 10.6, OS 10.7
Essentially, you have a newer Intel processor Mac with a new OS and very old, incompatible software.   You might be able to find a used version of Final Cut Studio 3 on sites like ebay or craigslist as it is no longer offered by Apple as an upgrade.
Alternatively, you could purchase and download FCP-X, but it is an entirely different application, sharing virtually nothing with previous versions of FCP.

Does Final Cut Pro X support all video files as did its prior version Final Cut Pro Studio?

Hi,
Use to have a Mac Pro and had Fina Cut Pro Studio. Now I have just got a new Macbook Pro (Lion), and have just purchased the new Final Cut Pro X from the App store. I am having problems importing 3gps files into FCP X. I never had a problem with the $1000 version of studio. Does the new FCP X have limitations on what video files are compatible with it? do I need to purchase additional plug-ins etc???
Ta
Zeb

Really depends on the specific file type you want to work with. FCP X does not support every single flavor of video FCP 7 did, so it's not a huge surprise if the file you're using is not supported. That said, there's plenty of free third party tools you could use to convert it to a regular QuickTime ProRes file that FCP X would accept. For example- http://www.squared5.com/ would most likely be able to load it. Try and let us know. And if that doesn't work please provide more details about the 3gps file you're using.

Which versions of Final Cut Pro support HD video?

Which versions of Final Cut Pro support HD video? (Other than 6)

Uncompressed HD...that can be done with FCP 4.5 or higher. But as said, you need a capture card, no matter what version you use.
DVCPRO HD support started in FCP 4.5. P2 DVCPRO HD support started with 5.0.4. HDV support started with FCP 5.0, and is much better in FCP 5.1. XDCAM started in FCP 5.0, better in 5.1. AVCHD requires 5.1, and AVCIntra requires FCP 6.

Lost one of my Final Cut Pro Discs - Can support help me?

Hi,
Just got a new macbook pro and am installing a copy of Final Cut Studio 2 on it. (Previously had an old G5 where I installed studio)
It's a registered, official copy of Final Cut Studio 2 (Academic) and I can't seem to find 2 of my discs. Is there anything support can do for me? Or am I screwed?

Give Apple care a call and plead your case. Their number is included with the documentation that came with the software. Only they can send you replacement disks.
If you purchased it from a store, having the information about where you purchased the software including a receipt would probably be useful. If you bought it used from a person, I'd say you have a much lower chance for relief.
Good luck.

Does Final Cut Express support ProRes 1080p?

Does Final Cut Express support ProRes 1080p?

Hi(Bonjour)!
ProRes codecs was introduced with Final Cut Studio 2.
You can't create a ProRes sequence in FCE, but if you've installed the +Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder 1.0 for Mac+ you will be able to import ProRes footage, but rendering or conversion will be needed.
