Globe Effects in final cut express

I want to have a video which would describe the travel between two countries which currently google earth can render.
Ex: Using Google earth - provide start and destination - It maps the path which can be captured in a video.
How do we obtain the same in final cut
Thanks

If you have iMovie '11 you can create the animation, then export it as a quicktime movie, and import that movie into FCE.

  • After Effects and Final Cut Express

    Hey,
    Is it possible to export a project from After Effects into Final Cut Express? I just want to make sure before I get it.
    That's all, thanks,
    Leroy

    You can export a QuickTime movie from After Effects and use it in FCE. AE projects will not open in FCE.

  • Flashing Effect In Final Cut Express 4

    Hello Fellow FCE Users!!!
    I am editing a video and want to use a "Flash" Type of effect to transition between two shots, kind of like a "Flashback" type of effect where there is a bright light that transitions between two different shots. What is the best way to achieve this? I have tried adding a dip to color transition using white as my color but it's not exactly what I am looking for... Any Ideas???
    Thanks in advance!

    use fade through color and make the color white. Then Tweak the speed.

  • Final Cut Express 4.0 - Effects List

    Does anyone know where I can find a complete list of the included video effects for Final Cut Express 4.0?
    Also, can additional effects be purchased?
    I need to create a "cartoon like" video effect. Any suggestions?

    Thank you to both who answered.
    I do not have the software yet. I wanted to make sure there were plenty of good quality effects before I purchased it. I've worked with a few programs in the past (mostly freebies) that had tons and tons of really crappy effects!
    I will certainly keep the "cartoon effect" in mind, the website looks very interesting...and free too! Thanks.

  • Final Cut Express 3.5HD and Panasonic DVX100ae

    Hi guys,
    I'm desperate for some advice. I'm seconds away from purchasing a Panasonic DVX100ae but just thought whether or not i would be able to edit the 24p effect on Final Cut Express 3.5 that i'm desperate for. If i can't then i guess its pointless spending so much on the camera. Someone please help!
    In advance, thanks to anyone who replies; your a legend.

    FCE does not work as well with this camera as FCS does. Some functionality in the camera will not work correctly. 24p advanced does not work with FCE. Basic 24p will work, depending on what you do with the material in the application. For basic editing it's OK.

  • MacBook & Final Cut Express 4

    Hi,
    I'm thinking about buying a MacBook and I've got my eye set on the MacBook with following specifics:
    2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
    250GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
    Superdrive 8x (DVD+R DL/DVD+RW/CD-RW)
    (It's the black MacBook, the one highest in it's price range.)
    Since I have no experience with Mac I'm curious if this type of Mac works effective with Final Cut Express 4 and maybe eventually Final Cut Pro. I do have 2 mobile hard disks of 250 Gig each, so a lot of my (ongoing) projects can be saved to those 2. You think this Mac meets the requirements or should I think about maybe choosing a MacBook Pro?
    (Money is an issue, but there can by cutbacks or/and extra jobs.:-)
    Thanks

    You want to max that RAM out to 4G if you are going to use FCE. Final Cut Pro will run marginally, but if you are going to be doing a lot of serious graphics/video work, I would suggest getting a MacBook Pro. The graphics circuit in a MB is anemic because it shares it memory with the main RAM. Check out refurbished and used MBPs to compare prices.

  • Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

    Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

    Absolutely.  Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion).  Make sure you check the Self-Contained box.  The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added.  Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

  • Final Cut Express "Light Rays" Effect

    Might also be called 'Trap Door Effect'.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1FhvN_PUxc
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPuh61ivmyg
    It's commonly used in Sony Vegas productions.
    One complicated way of doing it in FCE would be to use multiple layers of video, add a Gaussian Blur and increase the zoom on the bottom layer while lowering the Opacity on the top layer, but in order to smoothly animate the rays you'd have to do some rather convoluted things.
    Is there a simple way to do this in Final Cut Express (using 3.5 right now, considering upgrading) for both video and text?

    I don't believe the "Light Rays" filter included with FCE 4 is the effect you want. It makes the clip look a lot different than the examples you provided. Effects like the one you are looking for need to be created by themselves, and not just applied. Tom's book definitely explains how to do this, but I was unsuccessful as of yet in finding the exact lesson (part of the problem is that I don't know exactly what such an effect was called, so I can't just look it up in the index. It's a 300-something page book, so finding a particular section without remembering its name is a little tricky...)
    I will continue to keep my eye out. I believe it has something to do with creating two text tracks, applying some sort of glow to the bottom one, and keyframing its movement. Will let you know when I know for sure.

  • Recreating this on final cut express (effects)

    Hello, I was wondering if anybody knows if it's possible to recreate the intro effects from this tv show (it's dynasty from the 80's) on final cut express. I'm talking about the pictrues thats slight up in strips (the character intros) Any info on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is a clip...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMIQ92AZdko

    Pretty simple in FCE. There are a number of different ways to do it, cropping the video, using garbage mattes or mask shape filters, or using travel mattes. There's a lot to learn here so you might want to read the manual about these or get a good instruction book or DVD.

  • I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please?

    I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please, by the way the "L" doesn't appear in the bottom left hand corner either? and by the way how can I get rid of that irritating Blue badge saying "AutoFill your contact details" all mine are in "address book" already!

    You can't drag a transition into the canvas. If you're dragginmg a transition from the effects tab you drag it between the edit point of two clips in the timeline.
    Make sure show edit overlays is turned on in the Canvas view popup.

  • Adobe CS4/5 and Final Cut Express On a MacBook Air?

    Hey all
    Im planning to get a MacBook for my GCSE's, and im leaning towards the air.
    I will be running applications such as Adobe Photoshop CS5, After Effects CS5, Lightroom CS5, and Final Cut Express regularly, so would a 13" 1.86ghz MBA C2D Processor with 4gb of RAM be able to run these apps fast and efficiently with no lag? Or should I opt for the baseline MBP 13"? Im also looking for portability, as im going to be taking it into school
    Thanks

    After effects!? Yikes... that is a beast of a program! Depends how in depth you plan on using it. Are you going to be doing 3D animations with several camera layers? If so, I don't think a MBP is going to work too smoothly. If you are doing basic to moderate use of AE functions then I think it would work fine.
    Just a heads up before buying, check out the apple refurb store. They have a bunch of MBP with different specs for a very reasonable price. I got my 17" MBP from there and it works awesome with the same warranty as new... for like $500 off!

  • Downgrading from Final Cut Pro Studio to Final Cut Express

    Will Final Cut Express let me use the Boris Title 3D Video Generator effect that I now use in Final Cut Pro Studio?
    Does it have an outline text video generator effect?
    Since I have DVDSP 4.1.2, will I be able to drag my exported non self-contained quicktime movie into DVDSP? I have read I can use iDVD.
    I see from the tutorial (http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/tutorials/) it does not have the ability to log clips for batch capture later but it does have a project button. Does anyone use that and can share what it does?
    I have a Canon DV20 HD camera which I use for DV also. Since I have read that FCE will not read HDV from this camera, has anyone brought DV in using this camera?
    Does anyone see any other negatives to downgrading?
    I have been using Final Cut Pro from version 1.5 since it did what I needed it to do. Over the years they have added a plethora of packages to it, none of which I use. So why spend 700.00 to upgrade when I can spend 200 to get what I will use?
    Thanks for your input.

    Lots of questions:
    "Will Final Cut Express let me use the Boris Title 3D Video Generator effect that I now use in Final Cut Pro Studio?"
    Yes.
    "Does it have an outline text video generator effect?"
    Yes, but don't use. Use Title 3D.
    "Since I have DVDSP 4.1.2, will I be able to drag my exported non self-contained quicktime movie into DVDSP?"
    Yes. Or you can use Compressor, which you should have, to encode your video.
    "I see from the tutorial (http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/tutorials/) it does not have the ability to log clips for batch capture later but it does have a project button. Does anyone use that and can share what it does?"
    It allows you to log your material first, selecting the pieces on the tape you want to capture and then going back and letting the machine capture the selected pieces.
    "I have a Canon DV20 HD camera which I use for DV also. Since I have read that FCE will not read HDV from this camera, has anyone brought DV in using this camera?"
    Never heard of camera.
    "Does anyone see any other negatives to downgrading?"
    What version are you using?

  • Importing HD footage to Final Cut Express?

    I am going to edit my own wedding video and I am hiring a professional to shoot the raw footage in HD. I have a small, hand held Panasonic PV-GS300 that shoots in SD on Mini DV tapes. I understand that I cannot effectively upload HD footage through this small camera and still maintain the HD quality from the original footage. My conclusion is that I am going to have the HD footage converted into Quicktime files and loaded onto my external hard drive that I can import into Final Cut Express. Will somoene just confirm that this will work? Is there anything I am missing? I just don't want to pay for professional footage and ultimately not be able to edit it, so if you think I'm forgetting something or if there's a specific type of footage or setting that is optimal for Final Cut Express, please let me know and I can pass this on to my videographer. Thank you for your help!

    Hi there,
    Yeah, it should work fine to get the videographer to give you the files. Make sure he/she shoots in a frame-size of *1280x720, 1440x1080, or 1920x1080* at a frame-rate of 29.97fps.
    Ask him or her if it is possible to give you the files in the *Apple Intermediate Codec* with *uncompressed audio* at 48kHz.

  • How do I add a title to a video clip w/ LiveType 2 and Final Cut Express 4

    I have Final Cut Express 4 & LiveType 2.1.4, I'm not sure how to add titles or test to a video clip, and the tutorials for Final Cut Express 4 don't say how to get started in LiveType. How do I simply add text? The tutorials say how to add effects to the text they just don't say how to add it to the clip or how to get the clip into LiveType.

    Well, you don't actually _add text_ to a video clip, you _create a text clip_ and add that clip to your timeline, either adjacent to an existing clip or on the next higher track if you want to layer the text with an existing video clip.
    The very simplest way to add text is to use one of the *text generators* built into FCE. Lower Third, Text, Scrolling Text, etc. allow you to create various text clips and give you basic controls over fonts, positioning, size, color, etc. You can find the text generators in the Effects tab in the FCE Browser.
    LiveType is a separate and more sophisticated application that enables you to do all sorts of things with text (much more than can be done with the FCE text generators). The basic process is - create your title in a LiveType project. Save the LiveType project. Then in FCE, import the LiveType project; from there, you can treat it just the same as any other clip.
