Flash and final cut help!!!
client wants me to export from final cut pro to flash file how and what plugin do i need
I am echoing two solutions since I have used both. I'll also clarify one.
1) You can make a h.284 file .mov and change the extension to .flv. Flash will play that since Flash supports h.264. Really it works. There are threads on this. (As I type this you may I realise you might need to make a .mp4 and change the extension - one or the other works).
2) You can do as others here suggest and that is install the full Flash program and you will get the encoder (On2 Video). Just download the trial version of Flash. Once installed you will have the encoder On2Video & ".flv" will be a choice in your QuickTime export list (in QuickTime Pro). You will have quite a few controls about how you want to encode your video. Here's the sweet part - the encoder will remain after the trial period on the Flash program has expired and will continue to work.
Good luck. This is totally doable with these free tools.

Canon FS11, FS10, FS100 and Final Cut Studio 2
I was wondering if anyone has tried downloading footage from the Canon FS10 or FS11 into Final Cut Pro 6? They use flash memory SDHC cards. They are the standard definition versions of the Canon HF 10 and 100.
I know they are not listed as compatible, but thought since they are using SDHC cards that maybe they do work. I have read in the forum discussions that people who have the Canon FS10 and 11 and are able to edit the footage easily with iMovie 08.
Does anyone know if iMovie is able to read the footage from the F11's flashdrive, does that mean Final Cut Pro 6 will do it as well or not necessarily? I would like to use my Final Cut Studio 2 to edit the footage.
Has anyone tried these out with any success?
If so what did you think of the cameras as a whole. There is not much out there about them yet.
Thanks!+"Does anyone know if iMovie is able to read the footage from the F11's flashdrive, does that mean Final Cut Pro 6 will do it as well or not necessarily? I would like to use my Final Cut Studio 2 to edit the footage."+
iMovie and Final Cut Pro 6 could very well differ in the types of footage, they can read. If say, you had updated iMovie recently to the newest version it could have had increased capability in reading from a SDHC card. Also I use Final Cut Studio (5.1.4) and it seems to read just about any type of camera I hook up to it so I don't see why Final Cut Pro 6 wouldn't read this card, have you tried other cards? But yes, Final Cut Pro should be able to do anything that iMovie is able to do compatibility wise, unless iMovie is newer then your Final Cut version.
+"what did you think of the cameras as a whole"+
if you are referring to Canon cameras, then I have used a wide variety of them including the GL2 which I thought was a fabulous camera. Canon, in my opinion, is the best type of cameras you can find on the market and available to the general public.
Hope this helps,

Canon EOS 5D Mark II viedos and Final Cut Pro
Photographer Vincent Laforet have posted the original clips made with the new Canon EOS 5D Mark II. This camera could be record movies 1920x1080p in H.264.
The clips could be downloaded here: http://blog.vincentlaforet.com/2008/09/26/original-raw-clips-from-reverie-now-av ailable-for-download/
I've tested this video on two MacBook Pro, a 15" and a 17" HD, all with 4GB of RAM and Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz.
The video is flicking every 5 seconds, on Quicktime Pro and Final Cut Pro 6.
I've created a Sequence in HDTV 30fps and imported the clips. The next step was to import the clips. FCP asked me to change the video and audio settings of the timeline with the settings of the MKII. The video is flicking every 5 seconds.
I can't imagine what computer I should use.
I've seen the Xserve in the making of and I think that Vincent have used its to edit the footage with FCP. A last model of professional laptop from Apple is unable to do this.Hey Guys:
According to a recent analysis by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, the h264 video captured in camera is one I-frame for each 15 P-frame. No B-frames. You can read the full report here:
http://nrkbeta.no/video-test-clips-from-canon-5d-mark-ii-gets-analyzed/#comment- 58420
I've posted a short video tutorial explaining the process to convert the source h264 files to Apple ProRes 422. IMHO, converting to the i-frame Apple ProRes 422 codec as early in the post process as possible will save time and headaches down the line. You can check out the video tutorial here:
www.petersalvia.wordpress.com.
Theoretically, by converting to ProRes you could work with the footage on a PC if you install the ProRes Decoder for Windows. That decoder is available here:

Hope this helps!

IMovie and Final Cut Pro unexpectedly when importing 720p MPEG files
I'm running iMovie/FinalCutPro on Yosemite. Every time I try and import a 720p MP4 with 60FPS both programs quit unexpectedly while generating the thumbnails. The files I am using have run/imported without any problems into Quicktime, VLC, Adobe Premiere and my brother's iMovie on his Macbook Pro machine.
What I have done in no particular order:
1. Cache/preferences cleaning
2. Re-install iMovie
3. Delete all codecs except AIC and AppleMPEG2
4. Install codecs (Perian, divx, xvid)
5. Delete Flash Player
6. Repair permissions
7. Repair hard drive in safe mode
8. Delete iPhoto database, tinker with GarageBand
9. I logged in as a guest user and the problem persists
10. 540p MP4 with 30FPS and that had no problem importing into iMovie
I believe I have isolated the issue to a quicktime engine that is either corrupted or defective that is causing both iMovie and Final Cut Pro to crash. I could use Adobe Premiere or another machine, but I prefer iMovie and would like it to work on my machine. The only solution I can think of is reinstalling the OS, but I really am against that.
Let me know if you have any other ideas. Please see the Problem Report below:

I'm trying to make a photo slide show for a family reunion we had. I downloaded a few songs from itunes to use, and final cut won't let me lay it in the timeline, saying I need to open in itunes. I tried to save it as a quicktime movie and I get the same error.
How do I bring in songs from itunes into final cut so I can make a christmas dvd for the family?dgam:
If it had a + sign in front of the $0.99 download price,
you can use it in final cut. If it does not have the + sign
you are out of luck. You will have to download it from another
source.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
A while back I posted a thread asking about using the font manager "Suitecase" and Final Cut Pro. It was clear that Suitecase should not be used with Final Cut. I work at an ad agency and we have a database of 4000 fonts. Does anyone know of a good font managing program that plays well with Final Cut? Using the standard font manager that comes with an Apple computer is not an option. Also, using Borris 3D is also not the answer because of the time it takes to create and make changes to a slate. Help me!
Thanks in advance.
-AmberAny font management program should make fonts available to your system and all the apps in the same way, right? What's so bad about Font Book anyway? I was so relieved not to have to deal with Suitcase and /or Font Reserve once I got on OS X. I can see all my fonts, turn them on and off, it's easy to look for special characters, arrange the fonts in different collections, etc.
I agree that it makes me miserable to have to open the Boris Generators' type controls every time I want to make a change, and then not be able to preview my changes while I am working. Also, there is no way to duplicate a Boris generator and edit it and have it show up in the same position on the screen. If only they could simply give you an anchor/origin point for the text that acutally related to the alignment of the text object, as any normal, thinking person would expect. Also, try this one, copy and paste several copies of a Boris Generator in a sequence, put different text in each one, and try changing the alignment of just one of them, now notice that evey other generator in your entire sequence will automatically change its alignment as well. You could try to solve this by making the clips independent, but, oh wait, that's right, YOU CAN'T! Ha! jokes on you. Now please start over by recreating each of your Boris type objects from scratch. WHEE! (acutally, the method here is to format one and then drag it to your browser and reuse it from there, but don't copy and paste a Boris generator, ever.)
Add to this the way that these objects will randomly disappear or use vestigal render files when you export or encode mpeg-2, but never when previewing the timeline, and the way that Boris will render any project that uses a Boris generator unopenable if you replace your system Helvetica with the Adobe version, and you'll wind up with a lot less hair at the end of your day.
All that said, I use it all the time, and grit my teeth in frustration the whole way as I re-create, replace, re-format, troubleshoot, and double and triple check evey second of my work every step of the way, and re-encode, and reformat again, and troubleshoot some more.
If I have lots of lower 3rds or IDs to do, where I want them to come up in the same position on the screen, I find FCP's generic type generator works ok, as long as you never move the generator clip from 0,0 in the motion tab. The generator only converts the font to pixels once, and moving the resulting clip resample the video image of the type instead of regenerating the type from the font in te new position, which means that if you drag the clip to a new position in the canvas in wireframe mode, it will look blurry, always. Use the origin crosshairs in the type controls instead. Of course, the only generator that allows you to do this is the one that does not allow you to have multiple fonts, sizes, or style in a single object. The one thing I use type generators for most often is to make a lower 3rd template for use throughout a long program that will always occupy the same position on the screen each time I use it, and I wish I could use two different sizes in one object. I can't believe that this is the one thing that is impossible in FCP.
Another thing about the FCP type generators is that they do not support font families at all. Try Univers, for instance, and you'll notice that instead of 45 Light, 55 regular, and 65 Bold, you have Plain, Italic, Bold, and Bold/Italic. Notice also that if you choose Plain, you get italic. Fun! The way this appears to work is that, within a certain family of fonts, FCP will take the first four that it sees and assign them to Plain, Bold, etc., in the alphebetical order that the source files would appear in the finder (acutally I think there is an even more arcane, less logical method it uses to pick these styles, but I have never been able to figure it out).
These three issues, no character-specific formatting, quality loss if the clip is repositioned, and the inability to support font families, have never been resolved since FCP 1.0 - the tool remains essentially unchanged. Perhaps they figure that anyone who really cares enough about their project never uses it anyway, so why bother fixing it? But I acutally do use it with fairly good results, just never move the clip from 0,0, and if I need to use Univers 65 Bold, I just turn off all the other Univers families to force FCP to recognize 65 bold as "Plain".
ok, font rant over, we now return you to our regularly scheduled programming. -
I'm screen capturing QuickTime movies of usage of a website via a web browser to include in a video production. I'm using Ambrosia's Snapz Pro X to do the video capture. I've sized the browser to 720x480 for the capture. I'm exporting the capture using the animation codec (which looks much better than a DV stream), but it comes in at 8 frames per second, which doesn't mesh with my timeline (at 29.97 fps).
Is Snapz Pro X a good solution to do this, or is there a better program to do this? If Snapz Pro X is a good choice for this, what settings should I change in the program to get the best video for use in Final Cut?AFAIK Snapz records the screen activity into RAM as OS-level screen calls and then renders the file to your drive with whatever CODEC you choose when you save the clip. So the choice of CODEC won't affect the frame rate, but the size of the capture frame will.
The Animation CODEC is the best choice as it retains the full fidelity of the screen grab (no loss of quality). The main thing to remember when configuring the Animation CODEC is to set the keyframe rate to 1 (every frame is a keyframe). Final Cut does a bad job of handling key frames in the Animation CODEC when making cuts edits between keys - you'll get weird artifacts.
This makes for big files and Final Cut will want to conform the clips to 29.97 (or whatever timebase your using) so it will need to render the clips before you can edit them. Make sure your timeline is set to the same frame size, CODEC and KEY FRAME rate as the clips coming in.
Once you've done your cuts and are happy with your edit, output directly to whatever delivery CODEC your going to use: MPEG2 if DVD, Flash, H-264 etc for web. Avoid rendering to DV as the DV CODEC slaughters text and hard edged objects.
My two cents worth.

Sony DCR-HC42 and Final Cut Pro??
Can anyone verify that the Sony DCR HC42 digital video camera works with an G4 12" iBook and Final Cut Pro 5??
I want to buy this camera but want to make sure I can edit the footage with FCP.
Any help would be appreciated.Have you checked at Apple's Final Cut Studio web
site:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/qualif
ication.html
It doesn't appear on the certified list.
However, googling the cam reveals:
http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-DCR-HC42-Cam
corder-Review.htm
Glad to help, but it's always good to be resourceful
first.
The real issue is a G4 iBook with no second firewire
bus, the need for a firewire capture disk and FCP5.
You are not going to be very productive with this set
up and there will be issues of DF and throughput.
That iBook can't use much RAM
best wishes
Thanks, I appreciate the help.
I had already checked the FCP offical list - sorry did not mention in the post.
I had also checked a lot of other sites and found nothing clearly stating that the DCR-HC42 works with the G4 iBook and FCP - but I had seen a review from a customer (on some site) saying it did not work with thier iMac (where other cameras like Canon had) and they thought that it might be due to a video card issue??
As for the set up - not doing any major editing jobs so I think that I am OK.
Any more info would be appreciated.
Thanks. -
Final Cut Express 4 and Final Cut Pro 7
I have been working at school on Final Cut Pro 7
I just bought Final Cut Express 4 thinking it would be a cheaper way for me work at my home computer. However, when I open my Final Cut files (created in Pro 7) I get a message that says their format is too new for Final Cut Express 4.
Is there a solution to my problem? Is it really not possible to go back and forth between Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Express 4?
Is there some creative way of making this work? Help!Unfortunately not. You can start the project in FCE. Open it FCP, but once it's saved in FCP, it will no longer open in FCE. (It's not supposed to anyway, though it does rarely in some cases where very little is done in FCP.)

I would like to export an edit from final cut to after effects, so that the AE project has a separate layer for each clip in the original edit (or something similar).
i'm sure i could do this if i was exporting to motion, or from premier to AE, but i'd like to stick with final cut and AE for now.
does anyone know of a third party app which could let AE and final cut communicate a little better?
thanks in advance.I'll second Mylenium's recommendation of Automatic Duck software. It's even recommended in the
"Supported import formats" section of After Effects CS3 Help:
"The Automatic Duck Pro Import AE tool extends your ability to import assets in various formats, including those used by popular non-linear editing systems. For more information, see the Automatic Duck website: www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_automaticduckpiae." -
Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Final Cut Express 3.0 - 5 minute captures then freeze
Something I have found with Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Final Cut Express 3.0.
After Updating to Tiger - 10.4.11 and Quicktime 7.4.1 - Both Pro 4.5 and Express 3.0 will not capture more then 5 minutes and 12 seconds. If you are having this issue the solution I used to fix both Pro and Express issues was an update on the software. Final Cut Pro 5 fixed the problem (or 6 if you can) and with Final Cut Express, version 3.5 fixed the issue but if you can go with FCX 4.
Let me know if this helped or if you have found a different solution. Downgrading the os might help but that is too much of a pain and it's time to upgrade the software anyway.#29: Need AGP Graphics card
Shane's Stock Answer #29 – Error: “Need AGP Graphics card”
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302667
The Final Cut software is looking for a graphics card type that is required for that version of the software. FCP 4 and FCP 4.5 were released when AGP cards were the requirement. Attempting to open this on a Mac with a PCIe graphics card, such as an Intel Mac, will cause this error. FCP 4.5 is not supported on the Intel Macs. If you happen to have a PowerPC Quad processor Mac and get this error, you can try this hack:
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/finalcut_pro_on_oldmacs.html
You can also press the "esc" key as you launch FCP. This enables FCP to open and run, but know that it might not work optimally.
If that doesn’t work, or if you have an Intel Mac, you are going to have to upgrade to a supported version of FCP…and FCP 6, part of Final Cut Studio 2, is the latest version.

Motion 5 and Final Cut X aren't updating or showing up under the 'Purchased' Tab. What do I do?
I am running OS X Mountain Lion on a 13-inch MacBook Pro Mid 2010 model.
Thanks.Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

Best Settings using the new Canon HV30 and Final Cut Express HD v3.5.1?
My wife presents programs at schools and uses digital movies that we make and edit as one of her media materials. We want to present higher quality videos that look more film-like. I am hoping that the combination I described above will enable this improvement. In the past we used a Canon ZR20 and iMovie HD and put these on DVD's that were then played on a MacBook Pro with with QuickTime or iDVD hooked up to an Epson PowerLite projector.
I am now the proud owner of a new Canon HV30 and Final Cut Express HD3.5.1 (had FCE for a while so know how to use it). From my research, though, it looks like FCE will not be able to handle CINE MODE recording in combination with 24fps progressive frame rate [HDV(PF24)] which would allow the enhanced effect of the Cinema Mode. I can't justify the cost of Final Cut Studio 2 so I am hoping that the new [HDV(PF30)] will allow me to more easily edit in FCE.
Does anyone know if this is true and if so can please tell me the settings that I need both on the camera and in FCE to get the best quality movie that can played directly from my MacPro using QuickTime or iDVD or from a DVD in the MacPro using the iDVD player. I won't have the opportunity to always play the videos directly from the camera to an HDTV because of the school setting and the need to use a projector.
I know this is a lot to ask for, but I am sure that it will come up again and again as more people purchase this new camera. Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Lou HostaWithout totally repeating myself with my post to MaccyLeopard, I haven't shot any footage yet. After doing a lot of reading I think I confused myself more than helped myself as far as settings go. So if you remember from my initial post I am asking for advice and guidance primarily on camera settings with the HV30 that will be used in a classroom (artroom) setting and then edited using FCE HD v3.5.1. I wish I was the type of person that could jump right into using a new piece of equipment but I like to get the advice of others beforehand. That way I'm not always questioning myself as to 'whether or not is this the best I can get'. I also am wondering if the 30fps frame mode would be the best to use in the classroom setting? From my reading, this mode should allow more light onto the tape allowing me to shoot in conditions with lower light levels that are typically found inside? Finally, is FCE HD able to edit this new 30 fps frame mode of the HD30? I've heard that FCE HD can't handle the 20 fps frame mode.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
Sincerely,
Lou Hosta -

FC/e is based upon the Quicktime-engine; so, on 'Export using QT', you'll get all codecs & settings.

for creating so-called 'flash video'/.flv, you need 3rd party apps.
Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
.. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ... -
AVCHD, Panasonic SD9, and Final Cut Pro FRAME RATE! crashing!
Ok - I am still getting nowhere with hidef - esp AVCHD!
I purchased a brand new iMac, totally spec'd out, AND Final Cut Studio YESTERDAY.
I am trying to import AVCHD files - to no avail - crashes FCP.
I tried the work-around of using Voltaic, which converts to the AIC, and when I import THOSE files the video shows as 10fps. I cannot seem to get the correct settings to get the video to play back up to speed. The audio sounds correct, but the video is in slow motion. Can someone help me figure out how to use $3,300 of a new computer and software -that I bought in order to use a $800 camera? Am I crazy or what?
ALSO, iMovie 08 will NOT run AVCHD files - OR convert them, I tried, and that crashed TOO!
Apple has let me down, even though their tech assistant was very nice on the phone - there is STILL no solution. I cannot use FCP OR iMovie. How ridiculous!
HELP PLEASE!Thanks for your reply - but Perian 1.1 does not solve it at all - FCP still crashes upon attempting log and transfer..
My system is this: 10.5.2 OS
iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
And I have TODAY'S latest version of FCP.
Are you using the exact same camera? Or are you confusing it with the Panasonic HDC-SD5? I'm using the SD9 - tech support just sent me this article:
Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express: Unexpected quit with Panasonic HDC-SD9 AVCHD
Thanks again - I sure wish I could use my 800$ camera and 3,300$ hardware and software!
