H.264 in FCE (from Xacti CG65) question

I recently bought an Xacti CG65 video camera that records to h.264 on memory cards. After copying the footage to my computer, I tried to bring it into FCE. The file will import, or I can drag it into the media browser. However, if I double click it I get a "file not found" error followed by a "out of memory" error.
I was saddened to think I can't edit in FCE. After a few tests, I finally decided to just drag it into the timeline, and it WORKED! The file played back, but unfortunately the audio and video needed to be rendered.
When I looked at the details of the file from with in FCE's media browser it listed that the file7s audio was 32bit floating point. This is what is strange as the Xacti records to 48Khz, 16bit files, and this is confirmed if I open the file in otehr audio programs.
If FCE recognized this audio as 16bit, then the audio wouldn't need to be rendered would it, as 16bit 48Khz is the standard.
Just wondering if anyone can offer any advice. I have read on this forum that h.264 isn't supported in FCE HD, but it is almost working! Any other tips would be appreciated.
Thanks you for your time.

I believe what you're seeing is an artifact resulting from H.264's use of AAC for audio. The 32/48KHz indicator in the H.264/AAC stream probably can't be seen or interpreted by FCE. imho I think you're lucky it works at all, as using H.264 as an input format is not officially supported by FCE. H.264 is a delivery format, not an editing format.
By the way, what are your sequence settings - DV NTSC which is 48KHz by default, or is your sequence DV NTSC 32KHz?

Importing H.264 into FCE without decoding/re-encoding. How?

QuickTime cannot open my Handycam VOB files (mpgv/a52) so I'm using ffmpegX to convert them to H.264 (4000+ kbps). when I import the H.264 files into FCE, FCE insists on decoding the files, taking a long time to do so and producing very large in-project media files. I tried converting to the DV format; same problem.
I seem to remember with iMovie that one could place their media files into the project package in a specific format and iMovie wouldn't re-encode them. if I'm importing H.264 files into FCE, what format should they be exactly (video and audio), and how could I import them into an FCE project without FCE decoding/re-encoding them? I'd prefer to use H.264/Dolby+AC3 if possible.
sincerely,
Gregory

Ok, you should be converting directly to DV or Apple Intermediate Codec if you intend to edit the video in FCE. Not to H.264 and then importing the H.264 into FCE. You're going from one highly compressed format to another highly compressed format and then FCE is trying to render it into something it can edit.
Also, you can't directly import 5.1 audio into FCE. Even though FCE supports up to 99 audio tracks in a project, you can only import or export a single stereo pair at a time. There are ways to trick it out, but you can't do 5.1 all at once directly in FCE.
Have you tried MPEG Streamclip instead of ffmpegX to do your conversions?

How do I de-register FCE from old computer?

I am attempting to put Final Cut Express on my new computer and the error states that the serial number is not valid. So I thought I would try to de-register FCE from my old computer however I haven't discovered how to do that. Any ideas?

There is no de-registration. Only deinstallation. The FCE license permits you to install FCE on 1 desktop Mac and 1 laptop Mac provided you own both Macs and only run FCE on one of them at a time.
Two questions -
Is your existing (older) Mac running on the same network as your new Mac where you are trying to install FCE? If so, shut it down while you install FCE on the new Mac.
Are you trying to install FCE on a new Mac that has Lion? FCE is not supported on Lion.

I've been giving HD videos in MTS format and convert the for editing in FCE. Looks good in the program, but when I export the finished film, quality had been noticeable diminished. Is there any way to prevent FCE from lowering the output quality?

Hello -
I've been sent HD footage in MTS format and converted it to Mp4 for editing in FCE. It looks good in FCE but when I export the movie, the quality is noticably diminished. Is there any way I can prevent FCE from lowering the quality on export?
Thanks.

>I use Foxreal video converter for Mac to convert the MTS using the Apple intermediate codec setting and the problem is that I don't get image, just audio
My thought would be to NOT use Foxreal video converter.
Use MPEG Streamclip or Clipwrap.

Trying to run code from this weeks question of the week

i've copied the code from this weeks question of the week "sending an http req from a normal class." when i compile it everything looks fine. i've installed tomcat and it works. so i guess i am confused as to where i put the servlet class file??? and do i need to change a web.xml file?
any help would be appreciated,
erik

for simplicity i just put Hello.class and HelloServlet.class in C:\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes. i still cannot get this to work. here are my source files:
Hello.java:

HashMap hash = new HashMap();
try {
//calling the servlet by passing params
url = new URL(uri + "?&name=MyName&age=25");
// open input stream and read the hashmap
// returned by the servlet
is = new ObjectInputStream(url.openStream());
hash = (HashMap) is.readObject();
// print it out
System.out.println(hash);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
HelloServlet.java:

try {
ObjectOutputStream p = new
     ObjectOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
p.writeObject(hm);
p.flush();
p.close();
}catch (Exception e) {

can anyone see a problem. this code is supposed to be run from the command line. and i am doing that.
thanks for the help,

I have installed FCE on my macbook and on my desktop. Then I accidentally migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the product serial number. How can I stop this happening?

I installed Final Cut Epxress 4 on my laptop and my macbook and then accidentally also migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the software serial number. I enter the number which is then rejetced as it's already been used twice. FCE launches anyway as the licence info had already been written to my hard drive when I first installed FCE. How can I stop it asking for the serial nmber every time I open FCE?

You need to uninstall FCE from you Macbook and then reinstall it.
If you are not familiar with the process, FCS Remover is an app that can uninstall FCE for you.

Unrendered sequence with H.264 clips from Xacti HD1000

Hi,
I've got a Sanyo Xacti HD1000 camcorder, which records directly to H.264 (not AVCHD). Final Cut Express imports these clips okay but won't ever let me play a sequence without rendering it.
I realise I need the sequence properties to match the clip properties but at the moment I'm shooting 60fps 720p clips and can't see any way to get the sequence properties to match (none of the presets do).
Is there any way around this, or do I need to ditch either the HD1000 or FCE? It's not practical to have to render the sequence just to check my edits.
Cheers,
-Tom

Thanks for the clarification. I have just purchased the HD 1000. Love the size etc. But is there any way of down loading recording from the SD card to IMovie fast, given there is no fire wire on the camera? I am finding it terribly slow and I should have looked at the camera more closely and noticed it has no fire wire capacity. Am I missing something really obvious. I beleive you can get a wirewire SD card reader. Cheers.

New to FCE from Adobe Premiere Elements

Hi.
I've just switched from the bug laden Premiere Elements 8 to FCE on my iMac and I have to say so far so good. I just have a basic question about setup for my projects.
I may be getting confused here on account of being Premiere Elements user for the past year, but how do you define your project settings in FCE and is there actually a need to do so?
I am used to establishing my project settings before starting work: i.e. determining the video and audio format, such as whether the footage is DV, HDV, AVCHD, and then whether it's an NTSC or PAL project.
I know FCE can mix and match clip formats - so have I just answered my own question?
Thanks
Craig

Ok. Cheers Ian.
Well..we're a music services company based here in Egypt. We're starting to get into multimedia as we have a nice pro recording facility here. Probably end up doing some low budget web videos/short corporates etc for people based here. Anyway..at the time of writing we are looking to buy a camera in the UK in the next 2 weeks and bring it over to Egypt.
We want a 3CCD/CMOS 'prosumer' camera and have spent the last few months researching - like you do before you spend money you don't have, for a camera you don't really need, for work you probably won't get!
So for around the £2k mark (ouch), we've narrowed it down to either a used Sony Z1E (with around 400 drum hours), a new sony V1E or a Panasonic AVCHD camera like the AG-HMC71 or AG-HMC41.
Now we're stuck. As there are pros and cons for all of the above cameras and we literally cannot afford to spend more to move a step up in order to get a camera that would do the lot.
We've heard that AVCHD workflow is the way to go...but that it's hard on the NLEs. Then the Z1E is industry standard pretty much...and then the V1E is light, shoots great HD picture but has some wierd shutter thing and also the zoom stutters apparently...?
any idea what I'm on about..?
Cheers
Craig

FCP HD -- h.264 to Appl Intermediate Codec transcode questions

I'm editing footage shot with the Cannon T2i and using Final Cut HD (4.x).
I use Mpeg Streamclip to export h.264 to Apple Intermediate Codec.
My problem is, there is a noticable luminance drop in the resulting AIC files as compared to the h.264 original. The images seem to be at least a couple of stops darker. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, if I just drop one of the h.264 files directly into an h.264 timeline in FCP HD, I still see the same luminance drop.
Does anyone know why that would be?

I think I need a lesson in color profiles. Here is my current workflow:
1. JVC camera records to ProRes format.
2. I convert ProRes to AIC using MPEG Streamclip. I'd love to have Final Cut Studio, but I only own Final Cut Express. This makes it easier to edit.
3. When I play the AIC file and the ProRes file side by side using QuickTime X, the AIC file appears darker.
4. I import AIC files into FCE. It appears darker still while I'm editing it.
5. When I export from FCE to H.264 using QuickTime conversion, I get a brightness that is closer to the original ProRes file.
The problem with this is that while I'm editing in FCE, I'm not seeing the actual brightness.
So can you explain why I see the differences? I notice that the ProRes file has a Color Profile while the AIC files don't.
Thanks for your help!

First week with FCE, a few quick questions...

Okay, I am going to try to keep this short, but I have a couple questions about FCE.
1. When I am capturing video/audio from my camera, I am using my MBPs internal hard drive, so I want to keep as much free space as I can on here. Once I'm doe with the video, and its finalized, is there a way I can just keep the rendered/compressed version on my MBP, and maybe move the project folder to my external in case I want to make changes later down the road?
1b. This may be a stupid question, but what files can be deleted if I want to erase a video i was making but no longer want (i have 2 test videos when I was learning how to use FCE) and want them gone.
2. Each and every time I make a change in the time line (like adding clips, transitions, effects, music, etc.) do I have to render it (because it keeps saying unrendered)
2b. Music I import in from my iTunes library wont play, i just get a beeping, do I have to render it?
3. If I capture a clip from my camera, and I have it in a bin in my project window, and I just want to use half of that clip and delete the rest (so it doesn't take up space) how do I go about doing so? Just set the in and out point, drag it over to my timeline, and delete the clip from the bin?
3b. My final question, if and when I delete a clip from my bin, does it permanently delete or is there another way I have to go in and delete clips.
As you can probibaly see, my main concerin is saving space and deleting clips and "thing" i dont want anymore or i am not going to use.
Thanks for your help in advance!!

2. FCE pro "accepts" many video formats, but it has trouble playing them in real time. Most video formats are highly compressed and not good for editing. For example, if you have a master frame every 24 frames, that means a cut into the middle of that such a run of frames requires FCE to render the master frame and 11 frames following to get the 12th frame of the compression sequence. FCE simply can't do this in real time. You can get around this two ways:
a) In the upper left corner of the sequence window, you click on the RT menu and select "Unlimited RT". This works sort-of. You will see skipped frames and other anomalies during playback that will not be in the final result rendered movie. This usually doesn't help for audio rendering problems though.
b) Convert your incoming video to a quicktime DV/DVCPRO file using a resolution that matches your incoming video resolution. DV/DVCPRO compresses only within a frame, rather than across multiple frame, so each frame stands on its own and is easily rendered in real time, no matter how you edit it.
2a. Again, the audio rendering issue. You will see a red bar at the top of the timeline with the iTunes music. I assume the audio clip is from a ripped CD, not the iTunes store, as iTunes store audio files are locked and can't be used. FCE wants an easily processed audio format. See page 211 of the FCE user manual. AIFF is a good choice. To convert the iTunes audio to this format, control-click on the iTune track and select "Show in Finder" from the popup menu. Drag the revealed file onto Quicktime player and then export to AIFF format.
When working with an FCE project, it is usually a good idea to make a folder to contain both the FCE file and the related media files converted from whatever their source format was. When you are done, you can back up the originals, and the FCE project file. If you ever need to rework the FCE video, you can reload the originals and reconvert them, rather than backup the large DV/DVCPRO and AIFF data files.

Want to move to FCE HD but have questions before I drop the coin . . .

I currently have Adobe Premiere 3.0 on a Windows machine, plus I'm primarily a still photographer, so my video experience is limited. I'd rather do all of my video work on my new iMac, so I'm looking at buying Final Cut Express HD instead of returning to Premiere.
It will be primarily used for producing instructional DVDs and in some places I will want to use some stop motion. As I see it, I have two choices: shoot in DV and edit, or produce a slideshow from stills shot at 2.5 frames per sec. and import that into a video. I'd want to dub in a voice-over narration to either one. The stop motion would have to have irregular timed spacing, so that the key images could be held for a time while the narration explains what is going on. These sequences would then be edited into the larger video as DVD chapters.
Would FInal Cut Express HD be capable of handling either method?
I'm currently an Aperture user -- can FCE HD read Aperture libraries for the incorporation of still images into video?
Can I build a slide show in FCE HD or would other software be preferable and the result exported to FCE HD?
Thanks

You can use it to make slideshow videos/DVDs but FCE can only work in DV quality so your slides will be a maximum of 768x576 in PAL and less in NTSC.
Compared with viewing them on a computer monitor of 1024x768 or more, some people find the quality a little disappointing.
You can of course do it in HDV where the quality should be very high but most people have not yet got that equipment.

Can I disable an Ipod from ITunes/Other Questions

Hi all! I am new to this forum and to using IPods/ITunes, so I am still trying to learn as much as I can about them. I made the mistake of getting my very irresponsible young teenage son an IPod (Gen 3) Touch. I have asked him several times to hand the device over to me so I can review the browser’s history (I am not even sure if that is possible, but I was going to try). I am I have major concerns regarding the websites he may be visiting. I am not trying to violate his privacy, but if it was a problem showing me the device - why won’t he hand it over - so that raised some major red flags.
So...my questions are:
Can I disable the device from ITunes? Or can I just delete the device from my ITunes Account? Would he still be able to use it?
I think I found a place on ITune where there was a place I could pick what parental controls that I wanted, I set those up - but I found this feature after he started hiding the device? Can this feature still work remotely without syncing?
Is there a way to view the browsing and internet history on the device (even if he would delete it)?
I am not sure if this would make a difference or not to answer my question, but when I had to set up the ITunes account, I did have to provide credit card information to start the account.
I do have my daughter’s new IPod (Gen 4) Touch also linked to the same ITunes account.
One more thought...can I just delete the ITunes account totally and start a new one for my daughter? Would this disable his device?
Again, I am very new to using an IPod. I can get around using them (and selecting the correct features) with a little direction though.
Thanks for your help and advice in advance it is very very appreciated!

Can I disable the device from ITunes?
Not without being able to connect the iPod to the computer, no.
Or can I just delete the device from my ITunes Account? Would he still be able to use it?
See above.
I think I found a place on ITune where there was a place I could pick what parental controls that I wanted, I set those up - but I found this feature after he started hiding the device? Can this feature still work remotely without syncing?
The parental controls feature in iTunes only works for iTunes, not for a portable device. There are similar restrictions on the iPod, but those can only be set on the iPod itself.
Is there a way to view the browsing and internet history on the device (even if he would delete it)?
No, sorry, if he clears the history, there's no way to view it.
can I just delete the ITunes account totally and start a new one for my daughter?
You can start a new one, but that won't affect any existing accounts. You can change the password on the iTunes Store account he's been using. That would block him from being able to purchase any new content through that account. But you can't stop him from opening up a new iTunes Store account by using a prepaid iTunes card, available from almost any grocery store.
Would this disable his device?
No.
Without being able to have the iPod in your hands, the only way you can affect it would be if you had set up the Find My iPod feature before giving the iPod to your son. If you had, you could then lock the iPod or wipe the data on it. Otherwise, there's nothing you can do until he gives you his iPod, at which time you could set up the Restrictions and, if you wish, download a web browser that allows you to set site restrictions and force him to use that browser.
Regards.

Capturing in FCE from VHS Tape/VHS Player - Can it be done??

I capture no problem using a 4-6pin Firewire for DV Tapes; and pulling them in from either a Sony DV or a Cannon GL-2 DV.
Does anyone know of a (somewhat low-cost) VHS Player, that has a digital connection so I can pull in source from old VHS Tapes - or digitize some of these VHS Tapes I own, but can no longer get them on any other media..?
I have searched for USB-VHS Players and they seem expensive, however, I would imagine that a USB connection would be wrong... and anything else I find with better digital connections put the VHS Player/Recorders in the HD category and get muderously expensive. I seriously am just looking to capture maybe 10-12 tapes, and would love to have the capability if the need ever arises again for production work; but don't forsee a ton of it.
I have been contemplating daisy-chaining a VHS Player through my DV Cam(s) to see if that would work - but figured I would check here first, being that somebody may know an easy solution... or has done this before and knows the exact remedy.
Your help is greatly appreciated.Thanks.!

I have done this many times, using my DVD recorder which has VHS tape and a DVD recording facility. If you can find a friend with one, it is simple. Put the VHS tape in the VHS side of the machine and a DVD recordable (recordable many times) into the DVD slot. Use the machine's dubbing feature to copy to the DVD. After that, Finalise the DVD to allow it to be read by a computer (or a stand-alone DVD recorder). Use Toast to read the DVD and to create a QT movie of your recording. Then Import the QT movie into FCE.

Japanese characters from args giving question marks on Japanese OS

Hi,
We are internationalising our product to japanese, and one of the features is to be able to open a file containing japanese characters from a double click on a japanese windows OS.
The double click is set up in the registry, and indeed it works properly for most characters. There are a few characters though (unicode character 20060 among them) that it doesn't work for, and what happens is that between the double clicking of the file, and the command line name of the file to open ("%1" in the registry / args[0] in java), the character in question is converted into the literal character for "?" (ascii 63), and java can't open the file.
Testing wordpad directly with this character is fine, the file opens. I've written a simple C++ app and a simple JAVA app which fork wordpad with the fileName param passed to it from the registry, and it didn't open the file passed because of that character.
So our java application, a simple java program and a simple C++ program can't resolve the fileName passed to it because of this character.
The thing is, wordpad is using the same regedit method to get its parameters as we do ("appName.exe" "%1" in shell/open/command) and it opens files containing this character without a problem.
Any ideas on what I'm missing?
Thanks very much
Jack
