FInal Cut Upgrade CAn't edit in Canvas

Upgraded to the new final cut studio now can't edit clips directly in canvas. Ie. Crop tool doesnt engage when hovering over the edge of clip. Can't distort or resize the clip.
Motion tab doesn't have position option?
My Favourites are missing?

The FCS 3 review over at the [Cow|http://library.creativecow.net/articles/gatonjiggy/final_cut_studio3.php] mentions favorites being lost too.
Perhaps some or all of the filters have been rewritten as FX Plugs instead of using the old method, resulting in them landing in a different directory? I'm not upgraded yet, so this is pure speculation on my part. Maybe someone else knows more.

Final cut express can't drag to canvas preview has X and slides behind the canvas

When I try to drag a clip to the canvas, the preview window has an X in the upper right hand corner and the clip slides behind the canvas. How do I correct this please?

Are you dragging from the viewer to the canvas? Make sure the viewer is not set to Image+Wireframe in the view popup at the upper right. If you try to drag the image and a large X through it appears you have the wireframe turned on.

How to import MXF files to Final Cut Pro with smooth editing

Summary: Follow this tutorial to learn how to import and edit MXF files in Final Cut Pro by converting MTS to FCP native format.
If you have a Panasonic P2, Canon XF or Sony XDCAM series camcorder,
you may be familiar with Material eXchange Format (MXF). Though MXF is a
great video format to record high-definition videos, it is not easy to
use in that they are not natively supported by most NLE systems like
Final Cut Pro. In order to import MXF to FCP for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode MXF files to FCP compatible video formats.
Along with some help from a top MXF Converter, it can be done. To
help those who wanna edit MXF files in FCP without problems, here I
share with you a simple guide on how to convert MXF files to edit in
Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X.
First of all, downloading the App- Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac
Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use MXF Converter
on Mac (Mavericks included) which can not only convert XF100, Canon
C300, XF105 and XF305, Panasonic P2 recorded MXF files, but also provide
simple video editing functions for you. The MXF to FCP Converter not
only can convert MXF to ProRes for FCP, but also can transcode MXF
videos for editing in Avid MC, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, FCE, etc.
Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.
Transcoding (P2) MXF files to ProRes for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X
1. Import MXF files to the converter
Launch the best MXF to FCP Converter, and then click the “add files” button to browse and import MXF videos from your camcorder or hard drive.
2. Select FCP editable format
Click the Format bar, and move mouse cursor to choose “Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” as output format.
Tips:
a. Settings- click to set video
resolution(1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate (from 1Mbps to
20Mbps), frame rate (24p/30p)
b. Editor (next to “Add” icon)- click to set deinterlace, trim, crop, add effect, attach subtitles, etc
3. Start transcoding MXF video to FCP
Click “Convert” button to start converting MXF files to Apple ProRes
MOV for FCP 6/7/X under Mac OS. Once the MXF to ProRes 422 conversion
is done, you can transfer MXF footage into Final Cut Pro (X) for editing
smoothly on Mac with ease.

You may refer to this step by step guide on how to convert MXF to Final Cut Pro more supported Apple ProRes or DV at http://www.idealshare.net/imovie-fcp/mxf-final-cut-pro.html
It also applies to convert MXF to other video or audio format. It even applies to convert other videos like AVCHD, MOD, TOD, AVI, and MPEG etc to FCP format.

Final Cut upgrade serial number problems

A few years ago I upgraded Final cut Pro 4 to the first Final Cut Studio release, which included Final Cut Pro 5. I just recently had to wipe my hard drive and start over, but now I can't seem to install Final Cut Studio. It's asking for the serial number, and I'm using the serial number from Final Cut Pro 4, but it's not working.
My question: am I missing a serial number? I was under the impression that Final Cut upgrades use the serial number from the original full version you are upgrading from.

You can try contacting Apple, since that's an answer we cannot provide here.

You could, but GarageBand might be easier.

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,

I need a new license of final cut. Can I buy Final Cut X and use that serial on an older version of Final Cut?

I work in a small studio and we hired a new editor. We are staying on an older version of Final Cut Studio and need a new license/serial so we can run it on the new machine without having the 'protection error' over the network.
We CANNOT upgrade all of the machines at this time - we are in the middle of a few projects and need to keep the workflow going smoothly.
If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio can we use the license on our old product and wait to install the new one until we can upgrade all of the machines at the same time? we're still on studio 6.
Thank you!

>If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio
The newest version of Final Cut Studio was FCS 3 (aka FCS 2009) which contained FCP 7. It has been discontinued by Apple and recalled from retailers. If you can still find a legitimate copy to purchase, you can only use the serial number for that version. Serial numbers from other versions will not work.

่Can I import geeThree transition in Final Cut s, ่Can I import geeThree transition in Final Cut studio?

Um, can you "import" it? You can "install" them, but only the ones made for FCP 7 on Leopard.

Final Cut x can't find my events or projects

Final Cut x can't find my events or projects. I've tried removing the events and projects and put them back into the right folders again but when I start up Final Cut X, the screen looks like a new installed application. Only "New Event" is on the list. I've even tried removing events and projects and tried putting them back one at a time to see if the reason could be a corrupt file or similar, but with the same result.
I've also tried to take some unused events and projects from backup disks and put them into the folders but Final Cut X still don't see any of it. So it doesn't seem that any of the folders or files are corrupted. I quit Final Cut X as usual yesterday and the problem occured 2 hours later when I opened the application.
I've googled the problem since yesterday but haven't found a solution yet. I've even tried re-installing the application twice but nothings helps.
Does anyone have an idea of what it could be? Or have tried anything similar?
Hope you can help. Thanks!

Hi again Andy.
Thanks for your quick replies. I'm back again now.
My Projects and Events are located in the Movies folder. The subfolders are called "Final Cut Events" and "Final Cut Projects"
They were originally located here from the beginning.
I did move the folders to backup disks and I've formatted the computer a couple of times since I purchased Final Cut X several months ago. I've always moved the folders back to the very same place each time I re-installed my computer and everything has worked fine that way until yesterday. I haven't moved or re-located the folders for at least 3-4 weeks.

In QT, if you open the Inspector, what is the format? Post a screen shot of the info.
Did you try one of the Video Share presets?
If you've got high quality material to work with, uploading to YT or another video service should produce good results. They will re-encode whatever you give them. So as s long as you give them a sufficiently high quality file to start – and assuming it's h.264 – you should be good.

Is there any way to Import From Camera (dv) in a way that Final Cut Pro can later import everything, including the audio

I know iMovie dv to Final Cut Pro has no audio. At least with my old events. But is there any way I can make it so future dv files Imported From Camera in iMove 2011 will later work in FCP?

Hi
Yes and No
And it depend's on what quality You want and how much problem You stand in FC - and what version of FinalCut You mean.
• FinalCut Pro-X - I have no clue at all
• FinalCut Express and Pro (till 6.0.6) - I'm very familiar to.
• If You take out the Imported/Captured material from Event's - it seems to be 100% OK - but in wrong codec so it will work in FinalCut BUT with a lot of RENDERINGS - every slight change = Need of RENDERING. To much for me.
• If You aim to do some Editing in iMovie them move over to FinalCut = Moving from Event's to Project's result in that every second line in the picture is discarded ( and can not be repaired ) so the project will lose a lot of quality - whatever way You use to Export/Move it over to FinalCut.
So at least I'm better of by Capture in FinalCut from Start as I can keep 100% quality till Movie is done.
Yours Bengt W

Convert AVID files to Final Cut Pro X for editing

Convert AVID Bin to Final Cut Pro with Media
What is the way to convert AVID to FCPX so I can continue editing on FCPX?

Can you be more specific FCP can create optimized footage in app after import for editing if that is what you need. If you need to literally covert it than running it through compressor should do the trick. Or you could download the avid codecs for your mac and maintain your original footage. http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/en392959?popup=true

Final cut upgrade

what do i have to send in to upgrade to 5.1 of Final Cut Studio for $49?

All the info is here:
http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
But hurry - I think it has to be postmarked by Dec 20. And AFAIK, you can't upgrade at an Apple Dealer. You don't get a full package - you send in disks, you get back disks, no new manuals...

Final Cut : Problem with audio edition

The viewer has disappeared all of a sudden (I am editing a sound piece with Final Cut). When I click into a audioclip, the viewer window does not appear anymore. Can somebody help me ? Thank you.

I think you need to post your question on the Final Cut Studio forum.
