Hauppauge HD PVR (recorded on PC) to Final Cut Pro X (edited on Mac)?

I just purchased my Hauppague HD PVR and I am given only three options for recording (btw I record from my Xbox 360). The first option is TS. The second option is M2TS. And the third option is MP4 (this option only records in 720x480 instead of 1280x720 so I do not get the entire screen and thus is IMPOSSIBLE to record with).
So I take these files from my PC (in my living room next to my TV) into my bedroom (onto my iMac) to edit in Final Cut Pro X. The problem is that Final Cut Pro X does not read TS or M2TS files (I also tried Compressor 4). So my question is, is there any way (short of re-encoding) to get Final Cut Pro X to read the files? I am dealing with files that are upwards of 1hr+ and to re-encode them into MOV or something similar it takes 5x as long as the video itself, then I have to render the final product again (total time from recording to finish product could be 12hrs). For me this is just too much time, can anyone help?

I second the recommendation to use MPEG Streamclip. It is free and very flexible.
It will let you export parts of the video separately, if you want - by setting in and out points, nondestructively. This will make it easier for you to handle things, as:
1) You don't have to do a long export all at once (and wait several hours)
2) You can handle smaller clips inside FCP X, which will likely be less memory intensive and result in better performance.

  • Final Cut Pro for PowerPc G3 Mac

    is there Final Cut Pro for PowerPc G3 Mac, Im pretty sure I need version 2.0, so please comment a download like, or comment if you know anything, thanks

    This is the Final Cut Pro X forum. The software you want is not supported on any forum. Obsolete Intel technology is on the Final Cut Studio forum.
    Bottom line: modern camera formats are not available for PowerPC technology. You need to upgrade your hardware.

    If you have an Intel Mac and have recently upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion; here is a post I made in another similar thread:
    I do not have any experience with Final Cut, but if you have existing projects that you MUST access; then you are in need of a solution on your new iMac in Mountain Lion!
    Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta.  Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
    However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion).  While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Workarounds:
    1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
    2.  If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between Final Cut Pro or Lion/Mt. Lion;
    3.  Purchase a used Mac that will run Snow Leopard (with the optional Rosetta installed) and continue to run FCE on that Mac (you can actually use Screen Sharing with a "headless" used Snow Leopard Mac Mini and use the screen from your other Mac to view and work FCP in the Mac Mini environment);
    2.  Upgrade to an Intel compatible version of FCP (such as FCP X) and hope it converts your existing projects to its newer format correctly.  There is much debate that the newer version of Final Cut are eliminating many needed features; for example Final Cut Pro X vs. Final Cut Pro 6 -- many users are staying with version 6;
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels and then install FCE in the Snow Leopard environment:
                                  [click on image to enlarge]
    Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
    NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
    NOTE 2:  Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

  • Is Final Cut Pro 3 compatible with MAC OS 10.4?

    Is Final Cut Pro 3 compatible with MAC OS 10.4?

    re:FCP3
    Some people purchase FCP3 and then the upgrade to FCP5. It is less expensive than purchasing FCP5 as a new install. You may be able to find a copy of FCP4.5HD out there as well for a low price.
    That being said, while some use FCP3 (or FCP4.5) with 10.4, 10.4.x and QT7.x. will be happiest with FCP5.
    re: burning.
    Once the file is exported as a quicktime DV file, iMovie does not care about the origin. It should work just fine. DVDSP gives you much more control and greater flexability in setting up menus, looks, operation etc, but is not required.
    Good luck.

  • Can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

    can I download and use final cut pro 7 on new mac pro tower?,or I must work with the new final cut pro x only?

    Disclaimer: This response assumes that a "new mac pro tower" is the new cylindrical model.
    1. You cannot download Final Cut Pro 7. FCP7 is part of Final Cut Studio (2009) a.k.a "FCS3" and it was only released on a DVD set. It can still be purchased online (maybe even from Apple) for prices ranging from a few hundred to $1K and it is 5 years old and unsupported.
    2. Although there are reports of systems running FCS3 on Mavericks, there are also a host of problems associated with this OS/software combination.
    3. A new version of iMovie Pro Final Cut Pro X has been released which is reportedly very fast and is supported.
    It's all a matter of what kind of movies you make...

  • Which version of Final Cut Pro will work with Mac Book 10.75?

    I can not put Final Cut Pro 9 on my Mac Book 10.75 (Lion).
    Which version of Final Cut Pro will run on Mac Book 10.75 (Lion).
    Thanks

    Ok, first, your questions's answers:
    FCS1 had a full version & an upgrade from any version of FCP. You only need the serial # handy when installing FCS upgrade.
    Now FCS2 has TWO upgrade versions: one was for FCS1 ($499), the other was from any version of FCP ($699).
    NOTE: Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.
    http://gizmodo.com/252425/apple-rolls-out-final-cut-studio-2-first-impressions
    Here's something else to consider: with the march away from the PPC as a whole & your upgrade cost to FCS3 is $299, I would be very careful how much you spend for the older copies.
    If FCS1 or 2 is too hard to come by or cost what it did originally (or more), you may want to consider picking up a (used or new) Intel Mac with ATI or Nvidia graphics. even the newest mini might surpise you & get you by until you can afford something else.
    Good luck!

  • Can I capture and record live feed on "Final Cut Pro X"?

    I am an intern at my church and we are wanting to finish upgrading everything to mac at the church but we are needing a program that can capture live feed and later edit it so that I can create TV programs; hence, why I am needing to know can Final Cut Pro X capture live feed and record it? Along with that I need to know can I import avi. video files into Final Cut Pro X and it still allow me to edit them for our TV program? Thank you ahead of time for all of your help. Right now we are capturing in SD and I need to make sure it will also not be a problem capturing in SD and will make a smooth transition when we go to HD.

    See here:
    Re: import live video hvr v1e
    The above discusses HDV over firewire which is high def,  DV will be the same  deal.
    So it depends on what type of camera you are going to use.
    If you jump to an AVCHD USB cam the game changes.
    So far I'm not aware of a direct import method.
    There are workarounds with additional equipment at present.

  • Can I have two versions of Final Cut Pro installed on my Mac

  • Final Cut Pro 4 for Intel Mac

    I have FCP 4.0 on an older Mac. I recently purchased a new intel Mac Pro. I'm trying to install FCP 4.0 on my new intel Mac Pro but it will not install. I get an error message about not being compatible with intel. Does anyone know if there is an upload to correct this problem? I don't have the extra money to buy the software again.
    Thanks for your help,

    According to the Apple website: [http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearn More=MA886Z/A]
    Upgrade Eligibility
    The upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of
    Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic
    and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.
    Elsewhere on the page:
    Buy New $1,299.00
    Upgrade from Final Cut Studio* $499.00
    Upgrade from Final Cut Pro or Production Suite* $699.00
    Not bad, considering what you get in FCS: DVD studio Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, Color etc...
    If money is really tight, and all you want to do is edit, look into Final Cut Express HD @ $199 - includes Livetype and supports FXPlug 3rd party plugins, but that's about all (unless AVCHD means anything to you).
    You can always use iDVD for your DVDs.

    It's technically not supported. Even if you do get it to work, you may experience problems down the line.

  • Can I capture with Final Cut Pro and edit in Premiere Pro?

    Since it appears that Premiere has issues with capture - at least for me but as I see it for others as well - and that I can capture with iMovie, can I consider using Final Cut Pro for capture - then cross to Adobe Premiere and the suite for editing, finalizing ? Or is there a problem to copy the shots/files from one program to the other (would they remain identified clearly so I could just import shots into Premiere afterward ?)
    Thanks
    Rob

    Hi Rob,
    When you capture HDV in FCP it creates a specific Apple HDV codec. This is a codec that is only available if FCP, Motion or Compressor is installed.
    The two workarounds would be to use Premiere Pro on the Mac with one of the above mentioned apps installed on the same system or convert to a codec that can be read in Premiere.
    Best,

  • HT1531 does final cut pro works for my mac book pro 4 gb ram i5 processors

    why am not able to support power pc applications in mac     

    Babowa: Here is a recent post I made on this subject (responding to the oft mentioned claim on this forum that "installing Rosetta into Lion" would allow FCPS to be installed). 
    I would love it, if the OP (or you, perhaps, if you do not mind goting through the process again) could confirm the "Terminal Instruction"installation method:
    It never made sense to me that (a) one could install Rosetta into Lion and get any results at all, let alone get an installer written in PPC code to run; or (b) if installing Rosetta into Lion worked for an installer written in PPC code, then why wouldn't an application written in PPC code work also?
    And the answer is...
    Anytime an operating system is updated, there is a chance that some of your software will no longer function 100% correctly, until the publisher releases an update of that software for the newly updated operating system.  And that is what is going on here...
    The Final Cut Pro installer is NOT written in PowerPC code!  There is some minor instruction in the installer that makes a call to the operating system in Lion, that Lion is incorrectly interpreting as being PPC code and hence giving the Dialog Box that says that it cannot run a PowerPC program.
    This minor instruction is attempting to execute the following instruction in Terminal:
    $ sudo installer -package /Volumes/Final\ Cut\ Studio/Installer/FinalCutStudio.mpkg -target /
    If you execute this instruction in Terminal sans Rosetta, the program will install perfectly!
    Somehow, the "installation of Rosetta" into Lion, and perhaps Mountain Lion interferes just enough between the program and the operating system, to allow the program to make this call to Terminal and install the program.  Since this instruction will work in Terminal without Rosetta installed, it obviously has nothing to do with PowerPC code or Rosetta.
    So the best advice would appear to be to use this instruction in Terminal and wait while the installation program completes all of its tasks with the concluding statement:
    installer: The install was successful.
    This method avoids any pitfalls that may occur by installing Rosetta, which has no place in Lion or Mountain Lion and may be the cause of future problems!
    Since I do not have Final Cut Pro, I cannot confirm this, but maybe I can borrow a copy somewhere soon...

  • Final cut pro 4 and Apple Mac Pro

    Hi !
    I intend to buy a new Apple Mac Pro 2.66GHz computer.
    Will I be able to work with Final Cut Pro 4 ? and After Effects 6.5 ?
    Can someone please help ?

    FCP 4, not really. You need FCP 5.1.
    AE 6.5 - perhaps. It will run under Rosetta and there has to be a whole bunch of info on tweaking the settings to get it to run reasonably.
    fwiw - Adobe just announced the CS3 suite which will include a UB version of AE. You will likely want to go for that.
    good luck.
