Help on Final Cut Express/Mpeg StreamClip

Hey, so my camera is a Canon T3i. My Dimensions is 1920 x 1080. 30 FPS. Codecs is H.264, Linear PCM; when shooting a video. When using the Mpeg StreamClip, i formatted/convert the clip into Apple Intermediate Codec, then later import it into FCE, put the clip onto the timeline and has the red line on top. Also before putting the clip onto the timeline, i did the Easy Setup, using the format HD, and used the HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60. Still I get the red line on top.
I used another format which is the Apple DV/DVCPRO- NTSC. It works on the FCE and i dont need to render, but it has the little black frame on both sides of the video clip.
My question is how can i make my video clip work on FCE without rendering using the format Apple Intermediate Codec when converting on Mpeg StreamClip, because i dont want use the Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC since it doesnt give me the 16:9 screen. The reason is that i want that nice quality look on youtube and i like the full 16:9 screen.
Hopefully you guys can help me out.

You shouldn't be getting the render line so you must be doing something wrong.
You are shooting at 30fps and not 60fps?
In Streamclip do this:-
File>Export to QuickTime and select Apple Intermediate Codec.
Do not alter any other settings.
Simply click Make Movie.

  • I need help on final cut express hd

    hello
    I recently upgraded from imovie to final cut express, and i have no clue how to cut out scenes that i dont want!! i'm making a mountain biking movie and theres lots of scences that turned out bad that i want to cut out please help me learn how to cut scenes!!

    Welcome to the family, glad you came.
    There is a specific forum for FCE, back up one or two forums or try Home and you will find it in the FC area. FCE is a very powerful editing platform and it doesn't work anything like iMovie did.
    Do yourself a big favor and take the time to run the tutorials. You will learn how to trim your clips and place them in the timeline with transisions. Each of your clips can be trimmed by dragging the in and out points around. It's a blast.
    You will need lots of patience as you move from iMovie into the sophistication and creative flexibility of FCE. All of that creativity requires careful attention and you must learn how to talk to the application. It's not particularly difficult, it's just that there are so many different ways to do even the most basic things.

  • Help with final cut express 4

    Is there a free vignette plug in for final cut express 4?

    Thanks I tried it again and it seems to be working but I crashed like once or twice when viewing the footage. But after starting it up again it is working fine it is jsut that the footage has these white flashes in it when playing back sometimes. I am not sure if it is going to crash again or not hopefully it is fixed. I was just using the hdv setting for 1080i60. Im not sure if it was pal or nstc I just used the basic hdv 1080i60 setting. also do you think I should upgrade my ram and memory? Would that help moving it up from a 1 gig to 2 or 4 when working wwith hd footage now?
    thanks again

  • Help!  Final Cut Express crashes on Log and Transfer

    Hi,
    I am using a Canon Vixia HFS20 (AVCHD) and a Mac Book Pro (running snow leopard) , with a 1 tb My Book as scratch disk.
    I have upgraded the software.
    In Easy Setup, I selected AVCHD 1920x1080i60, after checking the camera and seeing that it is recording with 60i.
    Log and Transfer opens, but then final cut express immediately crashes.
    Please advise! Thank you so much,
    Anne

    What happens if you remove the external drive and try a test capture to the MAC directly?
    How is the external connected? eg. USB
    Is the external formatted to MAC OS Extended?

  • Final Cut 7/ MPEG Streamclip... noob question.

    I'm very green to all this, and could really use some help figuring out the settings to convert an .MP4 file to a file for cutting in Final Cut Pro 7. Please use small words.
    I was given a 2 hour, 2 GB .MP4 file that I need to edit in Final Cut Pro 7. I tried to use MPEG Streamclip to convert this file using settings I found on YouTube (yeah, I know).
    The problem is, my original file was converted to a much larger file of about 30GB... which seems excessive. I converted at a quality of 100%, using Apple ProRes LT, unscaled... and I think everything else was default.
    Where did I go wrong, and what would be the best settings for me to use if I want the final product coming out of Final Cut to be about the same quality (and about same file size) of the original file?
    Thanks!

    Good quality video takes a lot of space. Get used to it and buy a couple of extra drives.
    As to your 30GB, that's about right.
    If you want to output a similar sized file to the one you received, transcode back to MPEG 4.

  • Help with Final Cut Express HD?

    Please help...if anyone can help me with this problem...
    I have installed FCE HD and updated with the new version. I am using WD external hardrives as a scratch for my video files. I can capture the videos fine with no problems, but when I open up the files...
    I get a: "Media Performance Warning" box, and it says:
    "It is highly recommended that you recapture the media to create new copies of the files to improve their performance for multi-stream playback"
    I am using 5 WD external harddrives...4 of them use USB and 1 uses Firewire to capture.
    Some files don't have a warning while some do... can anyone tell me why this is happening and how can I fix this problem without trying to recapture everything again? Thank You very much!

    I use non journaled as outlined here for the reasons given:
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/filejournaling.html
    It's personal.
    Firewire verses USB is not though. USB in most cases let you down as a media drive.

  • Final Cut Express 4 and I Movie

    I am having trouble understanding how to work with videos on my new Mac. I do not understand how to import photos from my hard drive into I Movie or Final Cut Express. I also do not understand why I cannot download a slideshow DVD I created on my Windows Vista into Final Cut Express.

    MPEG Streamclip can convert a VIDEO_TS folder to other formats. Use "Open DVD" from its "File" menu and choose the VIDEO_TS folder.

  • Final Cut Express 4

    I need help with final cut express 4, i was told when when i purchased this software that it would work with final cut pro, i have tried to put my film from final cut pro onto express and it says that the file is too new, what does this mean and can it be fixed? thanks so much

    is there no way that i can use them both together? because i was told by a man who sold me express that i could use both together. For example i could do work on my university macs and then bring it home and work on it at home.

  • Need help editing and exporting using Final Cut Express - why does video end up with judder?!!

    I've imported material from my JVC HD Camera and have edited a 52 minute sequence on Final Cut Express. I've exported it as a Quicktime Movie and it's 43GB. How do I get this on to DVD?
    I've tried using iDVD to export but as you can imagine, the quality is not great. There's a judder on it. I have no idea where to start with using applications like MPEG Streamclip to convert the clip so that when it does get on to DVD, it doesn't judder. Can anyone help? This is driving me insane!!

    I've exported it as a Quicktime Movie and it's 43GB. How do I get this on to DVD?
    First step - just use this export as the import into iDVD.  iDVD will take care of the necessary encoding to fit it on a DVD disk.  The file size is of no concern; the only concern is the length (in time) of the video ... iDVD can fit about 2 hours of video on single layer DVD media; about 4 hours on dual-layer DVD media.
    Regarding the judder, this is not specifically an iDVD issue. Do you see the judder when you play the video  in the FCE Canvas window?

  • Beginner Final Cut Express 4 (Help)

    Well i have just recently bought a canon vixia hv40 along with Final Cut Express 4. Before Final Cut Express 4, the only experience i've had with editing software is imovie 6 HD and imove 09'. So its been kinda of tough figuring out this program, but one main question i have is how do you upload videos to youtube in HD. I see so many videos online that look awesome (shot with Canon Vixia HV40) and when i uploaded a video it had the black bars on the side and the quality was "ok". So if anyone could help me with this, i would be very thankful.
    P.S. I own a Mac Notebook about 1yrs old

    Launch MPEG Streamclip.
    Drag one of your native camera files into the box.
    Go to the menu File > Export to Quicktime . . .
    When the settings Pane opens, set as follows (note that the compression is set to Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC)
    Click Make Movie.
    Drag or import the converted file into FCE.

  • HELP HELP HELP    Final Cut Express   HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I just got Final Cut Express and I a having so much trouble. First of all I can’t get videos to import from my camera, so I put them into imovie and converted them to xml files. When I bring the xml files into final cut all it says its media offline. I went and located them still the same. So then I just exported the videos from imovie to my desktop and dragged them into final cut. This worked but it takes almost two hours to complete this process. Now I have a clip final cit and I render it, but if I move the clip the slightest bit the clip says it’s un-rendered. I hear all about how I need to match the rate sizes but I cannot figure out how to do this. Please help me I am getting so frustrated.
    The camera I am using is a Samsung HMX-H200 Camcorder - 1080i - 3.32 MP - 20 x optical zoom is that will help
    Thank you

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    Your camera shoots in H.264, a delivery format that FCE does not support. You should first convert your clips using the free [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> to Quicktime in the Apple Intermediate Codec at a frame size of 1920x1080, a frame rate of 29.97fps, and audio set to Uncompressed Stereo 48kHz. Streamclip has a batch convert function that you may find useful.
    Once you are done converting (don't use iMovie, go straight from the camera to Streamclip), import the clips into FCE and edit them in a 1920x1080i60 sequence for best results. You shouldn't have to render.

  • HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!! Sony HDR  SR-11 and connecting it to final cut express

    I just got this new Sony HDR SR-11. I recorded a short clip and wanted to put it in my computer. I have Final Cut Express 4.0. So when I got the camera hooked up and went into the cameras files, not with final cut yet, tried to look for the files. Confused I went to a sony support site and it told me how to get to them , for a mac. I found the video file and copied it to my desktop. It was in that wierd black and grey shinney box format and said excu on the top , i think. I clicked it...Nothing. I opend it with quick time....Nothing. So I called up sony and after a long discussion the operator said that I needed to buy the MPEG-2 codec for quick time. which I did and...Nothing. So I called up again this new guy says i need Final Cut Pro to read HD files. Which Im pretty sure I dont. So I open final cut, i go to capture and...Nothing. PLEASE HELP ME. IM SOME WHAT NEW TO MACS AND I HOPE SO ONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME
    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

    I have been trying for three days to the same thing.
    I did get the video content off my camera via imovie 08 but the quality is very poor.
    Haven't worked out how to improve the quality yet, I also tried importing the video
    via ADVC 110 analog conversion device but that doesn't improve the quality.
    I do have Final Cut Pro & MPEG-2 Codec and have been searching for the video in the camera's
    hard drive but can not find it.
    Can you tell me where Sony told you to find the video files so that I can try & import it to Final Cut Pro.
    Thanks

    I have a mpeg file I want to edit in Final Cut Express. How do I best go about importing this file? I assume I must find a way of converting it....?

    Use MPEG Streamclip to convert it. Depending on the type of file you might need to purchase the MPEG-2 playback component.

  • IMPORTING MEDIA FILES in FINAL CUT EXPRESS PLEASE HELP!!!!

    I recently purchased a sony handycam that uses a hard drive instead of DV tapes. I'm trying to use final cut express to edit my footage but when I try to import the files from my camera, the files are unrecognized. I've tried to view them on the quicktime player and that also doesn't recognize them. I believe the files are MPEG2. Im a student and I have to finish this video project by next week and I was hoping to at least have gotten started tonight but have been spending hours just trying to import files. I'm terribly confused!!! If anyone knows what I should do PLEASE HELP. I don't want to have to do my editing on my dell laptop using a windows movie maker.

    Those type of files are not directly supported by FCE. You will have to convert them to DV at the Sequence setting you use. eg. PAL 48 kHz.
    Software or hardware based solutions are available.
    Search this Forum for "Streamclip". This is one software solution.
