HELP! Capture quits even after buying new Final Cut Express HD 3.5

Had a problem with the quiting of the application upon trying to capture. Thought it was some sort of incompatability with the OS 10.4.9 and my old Final Cut Express program. Accordingly, I upgraded to FCEHD 3.5, thinking everything would be cool.
Same problem! X?X?X?X??!!
Anyone with any ideas? I try to capture, and the program immediately quits without any type of error message.
I Movie captures perfectly.

DARN it
These were two very helpful suggestions. I tried both of them. I could not find any Quick Time receipts, and I trashed the permissions and other files, and repaired the permissions, as indicated on the website.
HOWEVER, stilll having the same problem. Computers are complex ecosystems, I suppose.
I am leaving to go visit a couple of nature recording friends, for a week, and will be away from my computer.
I hope others will read about this problem, and if the spirit moves them, help me solve the mystery. I am sure that all of us have experienced that feeling of frustration when you try to buy the best, and use the best protocols, and the darn thing just won't work.
Thanks for helping, Community of Final Cut Express Users, especially in the wee hours of the morning.

Will final cut pro X 10.0.8 still be available for purchase after the new final cut pro release for mavericks/new macpro in december?

10.0.8 is no longer available, except in the trial version. The current sale version is 10.0.9. Apple has never sold older versions of their software, only the current version. That's not going to change in the near future.

Hello guys, so help me, if i will buy a final cut pro from appstore, will i have a .dmg or other type of file, for reinstall it in another mac?

No. You simply sign in to the App Store and download it again. AppStore knows that you already paid for it.

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.

Capturing Footage from Canon HV40 to Final Cut Express Issue

I own a Canon HV40 camcorder and shot a short film using the 24p HDV 24F Cine Mode feature (for film look). I've captured the footage into Final Cut Express, but the footage is running at a faster speed. I know this may have something to do with frames per second in the user preferences section.
Does anyone have the concrete solution to this problem and will I have to recapture my footage under a different setting?
Please advise.
Thank you!
- Eric

Hi Eric,
FCE only supports frame rates of 60i, 30p, 50i, and 25p. To edit 24p footage you'd need Final Cut Pro.

IPhone 4s back camera not working even after buying new iphone 4s

Back when the ios 6 updates were coming out in 2013 my iPhone 4 back camera stopped working, after trying way too many ways to reset the phone and finding others with this same issue I decided to start over I bought a new iPhone 4s so this one was better and 32gb instead of 16gb and it was 9 days later the back camera stopped working on my NEW iphone and still doesn't work to this day? What on earth should I do? How can this be fixed? I've tried hard reset, backing up the new phone, all the tricks I've tried on both phones do not work!!

A new phone has a warranty. So take it to an Apple store. If they can't fix it, they will replace the phone. Or do you mean: it stopped working after 9 days, but then you waited until the warranty ran out and then ask us?

I have just installed my new final cut express 4 and when I try to import a photo it quits unexpectedly? Why is this?

What should I do about this and does it need to be reinstalled?? Please Help??!!

As you give no info about formats, sequence settings etc. and how you are actually trying to import it is impossible to guess.
Please give as much information as possible as there are countless configurations and permutations of settings you may be using.
You could try trashing the preferences with this free app for a start http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/

How do i capture a dvd to edit in final cut express

do i need to "rip" the dvd and then import the file or can i capture from the dvd drive somehow?
thanks,
Dominic

Alternatively, you could use the free program MPEG Streamclip: http://www.squared5.com/
If you don't have the MPEG-2 component from Apple already, you will need to buy it to be able to convert the VOB files most likely on the DVD: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
Once you have this component and Streamclip, then you simply put the DVD into your computer's drive, open up the VOB or other file from the DVD into Streamclip and convert it to a .mov Quicktime file that FCE can use using the built-in export tools of Streamclip.
Again, this is assuming you have rights or copyright clearance to use the footage.

Is Final Cut Pro X the new Final Cut Express?

A friend of mine went to the premiere of FCPX at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Vegas. From what he was saying, Apple implied that the new FCPX that was being unveiled was going to be a "preview" for $299.
I'm ignorant on all of the rumors and I'm sure that a bunch of you are more current on the rumblings and gossip... But, is it possible that FCPX is the new FCP Express and that an epic version may be released soon?
Just the fact that you can't cut multiple cameras, organize media, and set scratch discs obviously doesn't make this a tool for broadcasters or working producers / editors.
Does the X = Express?

FCP X is the only version available at the moment (from Apple). FCE and FCS have apparently been discontinued. Nobody here knows what future releases Apple is planning (and we're actually not allowed to speculate on these boards)

NEW MACBOOK DOES NOT SUPPORT FINAL CUT EXPRESS!!!

I just got my new MacBook 13" and tranferred all my files/applications from my older iMac (purchased 2004). When i try and open Final Cut Express, i receive the messege 'needs AGP graphics card'
I dont have access to the internet and so cannot receive an upgrade on my F.C.E.... and i bought the laptop specifically to do my editing on the move!!!
Its rediculous, why didnt the guy who i bought it from tell me, even tho he asked what i'd use it for and i told him!
has anyone got any suggestions? anything at all!!
(and ps: can you BUY such a card? if so, how much am i looking at? I seriously cannot afford anything after buying this laptop!)
Im despairing and freaking out!
Help!
Thanks

Lara,
I don't use Final Cut Express, however, based on the information that you've provided, you're attempting to use a Power PC Based version of FCE, not Universal. Your iMac was most likely a G5? Your new MacBook is an Intel. Different processors.
In order to use Final Cut Express on your MacBook, most likely you're going to need to upgrade FCE.
To answer your last question, there's no option for purchasing a graphics card for the MacBook.

Dropped frames on Brand New Macbook and Final Cut Express!

I have recently bought a New Macbook, and installed Final Cut Express HD 3.5 on it. I have Quicktime Player 7.3. My Macbook is a 2GHz Intel Core Duo processor. Memory is 1GB 667 Mhz. I have already used up a lot of Hard Drive on my Laptop with other applications, and in my capture window it says that I have 24.5GB space (109 minutes). Could this be the problem - not enough space?
I have looked over past discussions on this and in some cases I see that a downgrade to the old version of Quicktime has been necessary. As I have a new Macbook and new Final Cut Express HD, could this still be the case?
Also I have been reading the manuals, and wonder if the frame rate or time code settings could be affecting the dropped frames? Does anyone know where I can check this?
I'm a total newbie to FCE so be gentle....
Appreciate all advice

You are quite frankly, a genius. I have just managed to capture my footage after a gruelling few days of trying just about anything. Your recommendations regarding settings and also the external hard drive have fixed my problem.
I'm going to have a large glass of wine now to celebrate my victory - and then I'm going to try and figure out how you actually use FCE after that.... er hem... now where did I put that manual..?
Thanks loads

Capturing Photos onto Final Cut Express

Where my Emac is not connected to the Internet, how do I capture photos to put into a Final Cut Express project?

You import photos into FCE, not capture them. (File > Import)
It's not necessary for your Mac (eMac or otherwise) to be connected to the internet unless you are trying to download photos from a website. Is that what you want to do?

Final Cut Express moving videos off hard drive

So I started capturing some footage on my laptop because I didn't have an external drive available. I finished the project, and now I'm back home with my external drive. My internal drive had 1.5 gigs free now, and I want to move all the footage I captured from FCE onto the external.
I know iMovie has an option to export the project and all the files into a single file. Does FCE have an option like this, or do I need to go through finder to where it saved all the footage and move them like that? How can I do this without losing all the links and having to reconnect my media...
hopefully this all makes sense, I've never really used FCE

Hello Drew,
FCE doesn't have that option. You will have to use the Finder to copy the folders/files to your external drive and yes you will have to Reconnect Media after moving the files.
Be sure your external drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended and is connected via Firewire.
In FCE, close your Project. Then in FCE preferences reset your scratch disk location to the new Final Cut Express Documents folder on your external drive. Then exit FCE.
The default FCE scratch disk location is /Users/yourusername/Final Cut Express Documents. Normally your FCE project file and related material is in this folder. Under it you will find the following folders:
Autosave Vault
Capture Scratch
Render Files
Waveform Cache
Thumbnail Cache
and there may be an Audio Render Files folder too
At this point you should be able to find a Final Cut Express Documents folder on your external drive; it should have automatically been created when you reset your FCE preferences earlier, along with an Autosave Vault and a Capture Scratch folder. Copy the files from your internal drive's Autosave Vault and Capture Scratch folders to the corresponding new folders on your external drive. Don't bother copying the render files or cache files - it will be better to re-render after you move your project. Also, if you have any other source media such as photos or music, copy them to a new folder on your external drive. Keep your FCE project file on your internal hard drive but do make a backup copy of it somewhere.
After copying everything, verify & double check that you have good copies of your clips on your external drive because the next step is to delete the originals of your captured clips that are on your internal drive. Don't delete any folders, just the captured clips themselves ... and all the render files. This is necessary so that when you reopen your FCE project it will be forced to reconnect media and you can point it to the new location on your external drive. Otherwise it will just continue to use the clips that are on your internal drive.
Then reopen your Project File that you left on your internal drive and reconnect media when prompted.

Final cut express compatibility?

hi, i have the imac below which i bought in august this year. I want to buy the Final Cut Express 3.5 HD but some one has said to be careful because the graphics card on this machine will not support it.
Is that true? I think this is the graphics card on my machine, ATY,RadeonX1600
and the final cut express specs suggest,
* Any AGP-based ATI RADEON GPU
am I right to suspect my card is not the right spec?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Just in case my first reply left any doubts or ambiguity - your iMac will work perfectly with FCE 3.5.
They are an ideal combination.
You are probably getting confused with earlier versions of FCE which will still work with the new Intel powered Macs but will be a bit slow.
Ian.
