Hey,
I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera.
Whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there,
please help !

FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
What is your camera's exact model name and number?

    To Final Cut Pro X? You want it, you just buy it. No separate upgrade pricing.

  • Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion then Mavericks. I have Final Cut Express and when I export to Quicktime, and open to play the movie, Quicktime starts to "convert" it? What is this about????

    Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion then Mavericks. I have Final Cut Express and when I export to Quicktime, and open to play the movie, Quicktime starts to "convert" it? What is this about????

    My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
    Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
    The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
    Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
    Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
    And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
    Please, please can someone tell me why?

  • I have an hd movie on final cut pro x; i want to create an sd disk of that movie. compressor created 2 files: dolby.... and mpeg2. How do I get these files burned to disc to create my sd movie?

    I have an hd movie on final cut pro x; i want to create an sd disk of that movie. compressor created 2 files: dolby.... and mpeg2. How do I get these files burned to disc to create my sd movie?

    These are elementary streams and they would be used by DVD authoring apps that use them for reasons like foreign language capability. Examples would be DVD Studio Pro, Adobe Encore, Toast.
    The most straightforward way to burn your DVD is either to use the Share feature in FCP or the Batch Template feature in Compressor.
    If you can find a boxed copy of iLife (try Amazon), it should have iDVD as part of the suite of apps. iDVD offers far more complete authoring capability than FCP or C4. iDVD  doesn't work with elementary streams; you'd just drag in your HD movie and you'd be good to go.
    Good lluck.

  • CHALLENGE: CAPTURE files from JVC H7 Camcorder to FCE via log and capture.

    Thanks to this forum I can now capture from my JVC HD7 in real time. BUT, the utility File>Log and Transfer seems lots better. See www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/ and look at the video AVCHD capture. My JVC AVCHD does not seem to be able to log and capture. Maybe some genius can figure it out. Please help.
    Thanking in advance.
    Don

    Attn: Tom Wolsky.
    I was disappointed to hear I could not capture by Log and Capture with the JVCE Everio HD7.
    May I ask, Do you know any comparable camcorder with a 60 meg HD that would.
    Or what would be the best method to capture from the JVC?
    I have your book on order and looking forward to it.
    Thanks for ant help,

  • I know I should know the answer to this please help--xpost

    Hello,
    My daughter has an iphone 5, she has had it since July and has never plugged it into the computer. If I plug it in itunes asks if it should be backed up from a previous backup or set up as new phone. I don't want her to lose all her info, pics, imessage conversations etc. Should I even bother plugging it in? We share the same itunes account but she has her own apple id.
    I know I'm being forgetful so I appreciate any help.....I need iphone for dummies!
    Thanks so much
    P.S. she has ios 7

  • 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.

  • Do the Mac Pro comps come loaded with Final Cut Express 4?

    I have Final cut Express 3.5 which i bought for my G5 mac. but i'm moving to a Mac Pro soon and i heard that it may not be compatible in snow leopard.
    I know the Mac store includes FCE 4 with your mac pro purchase( they allow you to select between FCE , iWorks, etc) but does FCE 4 come with the mac pro if you buy in your town's mac store?

    If you have a retail version of FCE3.5 and your original serial number, you can purchase an upgrade to FCE4 and save $100.

  • Iphone footage into Final Cut Express

    I left a question earlier in this forum and would like to update (hopefully that's proper process!). I'll repeat the question, in case:
    I'm trying to get footage from iPhone 4 to Final Cut Express. I'm using MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2. In the tutorial I found, they did an export to Quicktime, selecting the Apple Intermediate Codec as the compression, 29.97 as the Frame, and "1280 x 720 (unscaled)" as the frame size option (I'm also selecting frame blending and better downscaling, and turning off interlaced scaling; the rest are Streamclip defaults). My version of Streamclip doesn't have a 1280x720 (unscaled), so I've been forced to select 1280x720 (HDTV 720P). Not sure if this is my problem.
    On recent attempts, I've managed to get the clip into a QuickTime format (using the settings above) in a way that doesn't look stretched (can't tell whether it is or not). When I import the clip into FCE, it comes in without having to be rendered, and looks as if it's not stretched there either. But as soon as I drop the clip into the sequence and try to play it, I get the "Dropped Frames" warning. I'm already operating in RT Safe mode, and rarely/never have problems w/ dropped frames with clips that were captured from my Sony camera/tape. Is the AIC codec more demanding of faster drives? (I'm using a 200Gig external Apple drive at the moment). Or is it because I have been forced to export as a 1280x720 HDTV 720p as opposed to unscaled?
    In FCE I've set easy set up to:
    Apple Intermediate Codec, 29.97, and HDV AIC 720 p30; Is this a match with the Export QT version?
    And if so, would the clip be coming into my sequence without having to be rendered? Since I haven't had to upgrade my hardware for my other camera, I'd be reluctant to go out and buy more external disk power, in the event it doesn't do me any good.
    I know there are several posts on people trying to get iphone footage into FCE already, but they don't seem to apply and, after hours on the internet looking for a solution, I'm at my wits end. PLEASE HELP
    Thanks in advance!!

    The 4s records video as MPEG4/AVC (H.264)/1080p/30fps in a .mov filetype.   Final Cut Express is NOT designed to edit this kind of video.  You need to convert the 4s video clips to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec/1080i before importing them into FCE.  You can use MPEG Streamclip to do the conversion.  In FCE you also need to select a matching Easy Setup (should be AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 for converted 4s clips) and create a new Sequence to edit your video.  This should eliminate the constant re-rendering problem.
    ps.  Final Cut Express was discontinued in 2011 even before OS X Lion was released. It is no longer supported by Apple and there is no guarantee it will run properly on Yosemite.  Just so you know.  Final Cut Pro X is the currently supported app.

  • Which camera to get for Final Cut Express 3.5HD/ upgrade to FCE 4?

    Hello everyone!
    I know this has been discussed frequently, but i am sort of looking for a costum made solution for me
    Following situation: Macbook, 2.16Ghz, 2GB Ram, 320GB HDD @ 5400rpm.
    I am running 10.5.3, have Final Cut Express 3.5 installed and am used to work in it,
    mainly for editing video files not coming from a camcorder.
    I have some experience in SD miniDV recording/editing though.
    NOW I was thinking of getting a new camcorder in the 1500$ max range.
    I want to edit video files, sometimes burn DVDs, at other times only to have them on the mac.
    What i like about some of these new HD consumer models they can record AVCHD and mpeg2 SD in DVD quality. That should allow me to record in mpeg2 and have less hassle with importing/converting into Final Cut Express 3.5 if lower quality is fine (which it is as of now)
    At the same time I could upgrade to Final Cut Express 4 and import the AVCHD files, but I still taken aback from how time and resource consuming it is. Plus it does not allow full HD 1920x1080 in FCE 4 does it?
    So I was looking at the Sony HDR SR11 as a nice camcorder. Seen it live, seems decent.
    On the other hand, is a camera which records in HDV a better solution for me?
    I could keep Final Cut 3.5, no need to upgrade right?
    Is it less hassle to transfer files to the mac and edit them?
    I am very unsure which way to go right now...

    Hi Flore
    This a huge debate. There are very few advantages to the new AVCHD camera's and the vgery long list of negative aspects of AVCHD camera's outweighs any usefulness of them. They are designed for Grandad to pick up and shoot good quality pictures and not for editing.
    I have posted below the wiki address for AVCHD, please read the page. It is very important you do read it. It explains in depth about AVCHD.
    I feel the is no real place for the hard drive based AVCHD camera. There is a place for a mini-dv tape based camera.
    Life will be very hard if you go the Hard-drive camera route. Stay with tape.
    Tape is cheap, hardy and easy to move around. Hard drives not so!!!
    Take some time to read the following wikipedia page...PLEASE READ THIS PAGE!!!
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD
    You will see that AVCHD is not all the bee's knee's.
    I personally hope it dies an extremly painful agonising drawnout death.
    AVCHD has no place in the professional domain.

    Hi,
    Having major problems with FCE HD, found the below note on Apple's support which of course i have both of those versions! I have tried to update my FCE to version 3.1 but as it begins to install the computer interrupts and states that i dont need the update..Other than doing the suggested archive, is there anything else i can do..
    Please help
    Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Final Cut Express 3.0 may drop frames when attempting to capture video if Mac OS X 10.4.9 is installed. Final Cut Pro 5 and Final Cut Express 3.5 are not affected by this issue.
    Affected Products:
    Mac OS X 10.4.9
    Final Cut Pro 4.5 and earlier
    Final Cut Express 3.0 and earlier
    Solution
    Currently, Apple is recommending against running Final Cut Pro 4.5 or Final Cut Express 3.0 in Mac OS X 10.4.9.
    Archive and install Mac OS X to revert your operating system to Mac OS X 10.4.8.
