I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

  • HT204053 I had to create an Apple ID to open a cloud account. For some time prior to this, I had an account for my iPod. Today I was unable to update apps using the old password. My Apple ID will not do it either. ???

    I had to create an Apple ID to open a cloud account some time ago. For some time prior to this, I had an account for my iPod. Today I did a sync and was notified of two app updates, but was unable to use my old password and was notified to use my Apple ID. However, when I log in with my Apple ID, the store tells me that I do not own the apps.
    How can I get this system to update my iPod apps.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.
    Certainly not happy with this situation, as Apple expects me to pay for help on this.

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

  • How to use old "Apple Loops for Soundtrack" with Garageband

    Since Soundtrack (was part of FinalCut Express HD) doesn't work anymore (since some ProKit framework update) and was not part of the FinalCut Express 4 upgrade I used Garageband for sound creation and editing. But I missed some good loops from the old Soundtrack.
    The Apple Loops for Soundtrack were still sitting on my harddisk but Garageband didn't recognize them in the Loop-Browser. Looking at the structure I found the Search Index files (/Library/Audio/Apple Loop Index/). I have two there, one for Garageband and another for iLife Sound Effects. Both are interpreted by Garageband. But no third for the old Soundtrack Loops. So I had a look at the Sound Loops installer DVD from FinalCut HD and there I found a similar structur and copied the Index file to the location of the two indexes mentioned above. I left the Loops for Soundtrack where they are (also could edit the index file for new locations, but that's a 7.5MB text file) and now Garageband knows their location and also lists the loops at the right categories inside the Loop-Browser.
    Maybe that helps someone, even if I didn't find a topic about it here.

    Ah.. ok, then never mind. Just didn't find any information about how to use the old soundtrack loops with garageband and so I did some thinking on my own. And if it works that easy, the better it is

  • Im getting the message "The selected SAN location is already in use." This happens when I start up final cut pro 10. Anyone else have this problem before?

    Hi everyone. I just today got the message "The selected SAN location is already in use." Has anyone recieved this message before? If so, how can I fix this?
    Thanks!

    Welll I don't see fast how to edit my reply. (the projects and events on external drives show up, but there is a error when FCP-X started up with the message that the "home folder user" is in use
    and can not be used by SAN becase of the same name????)
    First I did use Preference Manager 3.2 to trash the preference but that did not solve my problem.
    Then I repaired permissions. I did not solve the problem.
    Waht solve dthe problem is next.
    I started my MacBook Pro is safe mode (shift power on) Then I repaired permissions.
    Then I copied the Final Cut Events en Projects folders from my home folder Movies to a external dive (in a folder so that with start up it did not show up in. (And trashed the project and event folder in my movies folder)
    I restarted the Mac Removed again the Preference.
    Then I restarted FCP-X and it started up without a problem.
    Then I copied the content of my old folders to the new folders in my movies home folder. (not just the folders Final Cut Events/Projects)
    Now it is working correctly.

  • Would I still be able to fun Final Cut Pro with no problem with the new 13"

    My old MBP has "NVIDIA GeForce 860M GT with 128MB" and the new 13-inch MBP has "NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics" I don't really know what "GT" means, but the more expensive MBP's listed have it, so I'm guessing it's pretty good. I was wondering if I'd still be able to fun Final Cut Pro quickly if I got the new 13-inch MBP.
    Back in 2007, the guy at the Apple store said I'd have to get a MBP instead of a MB if I wanted to fun FCP correctly, and now both the MB and MBP use the same graphics chip, so I'm wondering if FCP will still function correctly on the new 13-inch MBP?

    Eric wrote:
    Incorrect about what? I never made any statements, just questions. According to the Apple store, the Macbook and 13-inch Macbook Pro both use the same chip, which is the only statement I made.

    Actually, your original question was formed as part of a statement:
    now both the MB and MBP use the same graphics chip, so I'm wondering if FCP will still function >correctly on the new 13-inch MBP?
    And that's the part that BoyHowdy pointed out that you are "a little incorrect" about. While it's true that they both have an onboard 9400M graphics chip, you are overlooking the fact that the 15" & 17" MBPs also have the much more powerful and dedicated 9600M GT graphics card. This is not an insignificant difference. Final Cut Pro, not to be confused with Final Cut Express (not you, others have confused the two), requires a dedicated card which the 15" & 17" MBPs have in the form of the additional 9600M GT, but the 13" still lacks.
    The specs on the Final Cut Pro page are a little confusing because while it says it *will not work* with integrated graphics, it specifically refers to Intel, and does not mention Nvidia. However, it still says it requires an AGP or PCI Express card, which the 9400M is not.
    My feeling is that even if it runs, the performance of Final Cut Pro on that system will be unacceptable, and will ultimately drive you mad. It really pushes the graphics systems hard, and despite their vast improvement over the pathetic Intel onboard graphics systems, the 9400M is still pretty anemic for high end work. You're better off saving a little more money and getting the low end 15" model. Not to mention, the extra screen real estate makes a huge difference with the very crowded Final Cut Pro UI.

  • A Case Study Question in the Use of Stills with Final Cut Pro

    Believe it or not, for the last week I have been reading endlessly about pixels, resolution, aspect ratio, Photoshop resizing, the bloody battle over the usefulness of the term "dpi" in video discussions, and generally about what one should do in order to use still images in a film edited in Final Cut Pro. And yet, though I have a PhD from an Ivy League university, and can understand a lot of things, I am sorry to say I am still at a loss.
    Much of the discussions of photos on forums like this one are either quite technical or broadly philosophical. But my questions are completely practical and specific. I am not a photographer or a printer, nor am I an experienced editor. I am just a fairly smart person trying to use photos in his film. So I am going to ask some specific questions and hope for specific answers, without any philosophical waffling or technical mumbo jumbo.
    I have one of those HP all in one printer/fax/scanner machines. I am told this device, while not fancy, is perfectly adequate to the task. Some of my photos I scan with this device from prints. Some of them I get from other people. (I have stopped downloading photos from the web, as the quality is nearly always poor.) I have Photoshop Essentials (not Photoshop). I am making a 90-minute HDV documentary, 16x9. The doc is mostly HDV footage with a still here and there. I want to be able to move on the photos (zoom, pan, etc.). I want, obviously, for them to look good. My sense is that the work flow is: (a) scan the photo (or obtain from some source as a digital file); alter the photo in some way in Photoshop; and (b) import the photo into your FCP project.
    Question #1: If I have a 6x8 print, what settings should I scan it in with -- is it possible there really is no difference between scanning in it at 72dpi and 300dpi? Is it really all about the dimensions of the image? Isn't a photo whose dimensions are enlarged in Photoshop to make it available for panning and zooming in my sequence going to look fuzzier and more pixelated if it was originally scanned at 72dpi than at 300dpi? Also: Does it matter if I save it as a jpeg or tiff? Bottom line: What settings do I use in my scanning software when I scan a photo for this purpose?
    Question #2: Once I have the image file on my hard drive, I suppose I now have to load it into Photoshop Elements and do something to it. What is it exactly I am using this program for? I'm going to take a wild guess. I use PS Elements to (1) crop the photo so that it has a 16x9 aspect ratio, and (2) resize it so that I can do pans and other Ken Burnsy moves on it in FCP. Bottom line: What exactly do I do in PSE to the photo and what settings do I use to both (a) make it available for moves and (b) not injure the quality of the photo by increasing its dimensions?
    (In passing, I will say that I have done experiments that show that if I increase a photo's dimensions to, say, 4000 pixels by 2000 pixels, the photo's quality definitely and obviously suffers. I don't understand how a picture can be increased in size without losing sharpness. So, what am I doing wrong? Is this a function of it having been scanned in improperly to begin with?)
    Question #3: If I am obtaining a photo from an outside source -- say, a professional photographer -- what are the specifications I ask for in both a hard print and a photo file? If the former, what dimensions do I ask for? If the latter, do I specify resolution and dimensions and file type?
    These are my questions. At this point, I really don't want to know WHY any of this is the way it is. I just want someone to say: "Do this; do this; and then do this."
    Thank you very much.

    Studio X is absolutely correct; while DPI has no meaning in the video world, it often has significant meaning in scanning (and, of course, printing). If your scanning program only allows image size adjustments in DPI, then you'll have to adapt to that ... keeping in mind that the scanner's DPI setting directly relates to pixel resolution. And it is pixel resolution (not DPI) that will make all the difference in the world for images used in video. You can test this yourself by scanning an image at 1000 x 1200 @ 72 DPI and again at 1000 x 1200 at 300 DPI. They will look identical on TV or projection as long as the pixel resolution remains the same.
    As an example, my Epson scanning software allows me to adjust image size by DPI or pixel resolution. Wanting to maintain the correct aspect ratio for the image area that I'm scanning, I adjust the DPI setting which in turn adjusts the pixel resolution automatically. But it doesn't work the other way around; if I adjust the pixel resolution settings manually, the DPI setting does not change. Your software may vary.
    As Jim Cookman suggested, a scan setting of 300 DPI works well for most images ranging from 3 x 5 to 4 x 6 (typical snapshot size) in a DV Sequence. I may scan smaller images at 400 or 600 DPI and larger images (8 x 10 and up) at 150 DPI. Other size images fall in between those numbers. But I'm constantly watching the pixel resolution numbers to make sure I'm getting what I'll need to support the animation I intend to apply to the images once in FCP. Also bear in mind that I don't always scan the entire image. I only scan the area of an image that I intend to use in my program.
    So the answer is that it all depends on your scanner's software and how far you plan to push into an image once in FCP. Do a few experiments ... you're a bright fellow so it shouldn't take long for you to find the formula that suits your purposes.
    I haven't edited an HD Sequence using images yet, so I cannot offer definitive pixel resolutions for you there.
    On to your specific questions:
    1. See above. There is no one correct answer It all depends on what you intend to do with the image once it's in FCP. If you only plan to push in about 10%, you won't need much higher resolution than the equivalent of your FCP Sequence resolution. If you plan to push in further, you'll need a higher resolution to support that move.
    2. I've been doing these for many years (SD Sequences only) and I've never loaded them into Photoshop first. I import the entire folder into FCP and drop it on the Timeline so I can see what the images look like on TV; unless your program is for CD-ROM or web delivery, that's where it counts. When you place them on the Timeline, FCP will automatically scale to your Sequence settings and pixel aspect ratio. If I see that some of them need adjustment using an external editor such as Photoshop, then and only then do I use that program. And by the way, if you have a vertical image and a 16 x 9 aspect ratio in FCP, how do you propose to crop it to fit? Perhaps you meant another term instead of "crop."
    3. If it's a print, it won't matter what size they supply because you'll control the image size when scanning. If it's a file ... once again, the size (pixel resolution) depends on what you intend to do with the image once in FCP.
    I really don't want to know WHY any of this is the way it is. I just want someone to say: "Do this; do this; and then do this."<<</div>
    With that attitude, how did you ever earn a PhD from an Ivy League university? But if that is truly all you want, you might consider hiring an experienced editor to do it for you.

  • Final Cut Pro X for amateurs?

    I am an amateur. I have done some basic editing with windows movie maker and similar but recently became a mac owner. I don't want to waste 300 plus dollars on something that I will find frustrating and unusable. So I guess my question is this; How easy is it for an amateur to use? I have just purchased a "GoPro HD Hero 2" and I don't want what I can do to be limited by my editing software but, I also don't want to be pulling my hair out because I wasted $300 plus dollars on something to complex for me to work out. Please help. Do I buy it or not?

    Well, you might like and try iMovie first, (should already be installed on your Mac)...
    By far not as complex as FCP X, but it has certain similarities...
    (some people even call FCP X iMovie on steroids... :-)
    I changed over from iMovie to Final Cut Express a few years ago, highly enjoyed
    the learning curve and the possibilities it provided...
    Recently I changed to Final Cut Pro X, highly enjoyed the challenge to learn something new, after a few days everything was familiar again, and I never looked back...
    This software is just absolutely amazing...
    In combination with Motion 5, this package is nearly unbelievable...
    Even FCP X is fairly sophisticated, and Motion 5 one can call indeed very complex.
    I can only highly recommend both of them...
    Watch a few of the introduction movies and in no time you’re ready to go...

  • Interface Sony (Digibeta) DVW-A500 to iMac and final cut pro x

    Hello all,
    I am looking for a way to import (capture) footage from the DVW -A500 Digibeta deck into an iMac, (OSX mountain lion Final Cut pro x )
    with XLR out for two channel audio and component out for the video. I have a Canapous ADVC110 but the problem is, all it has is an S connector in. I can connect the Grass Valley Canapous to the Super BNC connector with and RCA converter but the video quality sufferes to the point it may as well be a composit connection.
    I have a firewire out on the Canapous and the audio it no problem but I need the component interface to get the Video quailty I need. Does anybody know where I can get an interface? This is a home edit suite so high end commercial is not an option unless I can rent the interface for a while.
    Thanks to all.

    Thanks Ben. My issue is not so much SW as it it the physical Link between the Sony DVW-A500 Digibeta deck and the iMac.
    I (as you know) have a Firewire connection on the iMac as the channel that feeds the signal to Final Cut Pro X. The deck has BNC connectors out for the component Video signal. I need the hardware interface to take the Component signal to firewire. For audio I have XLR connectors which are eiasly enough converted to the 1/8 audio jack on the Mac. Would be better of course to have both audio and video feed through one interface.
    I dont need to control the Digibeta deck, I just need to aquire the content from the deck into Final cut Pro so that can transcode the data into a digital file.
    Thanks...

  • Premiere Elements 10 Able to Export XML For Premiere Pro, Avid, Or Final Cut Pro?

    Is there a way to XML the projects or timelines out of Premiere elements so they will open in Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro or Avid if I later switch to one of those programs?
    I wonder why you can't open a Premiere Elements project in Premiere Pro?

    Actually, within a somewhat narrow range, you CAN Open PrE Projects (PREL files) in a contemporary version of PrPro. For instance, I can Open my PrE 4.0 PREL's in PrPro 2.0. When you get several version numbers apart, it might not work. As a for instance, I cannot Open PrE 7, 8, 9 or 10 PREL's in PrPro 2.0, but PrE 9 PREL's do Open in PrPro CS 5.
    One thing to remember, however, is that PrE has some features that do not exist in PrPro. Examples will be Themes/Instant Movies, NewBlue FX Effects/Transitions, etc. If you have used any of those features, you will loose them, when you do Open the PrE PREL in PrPro. Note: PrPro Projects (PRPROJ files) will NOT Open in PrE. These same limitations also exist when Opening older Premiere, or PrPro Projects in later versions - some of the older versions had 3rd party features, that do not exist in later PrPro versions, but the program is pretty neat, in that it will tell you of, say a missing Transition, will tell you the TimeCode where that was used, and also give you the name of the missing Transition. Effects can be a bit tougher.
    I cannot comment on AVID, or FCP, but I would rather doubt that the PREL's will Open in those programs. Maybe someone with those, plus PrE, can comment.
    Now, PrPro does offer some X-program support, with features like EDL's, etc., but PrE does not support those.
    Good luck,

  • Errors Using AJA IO LA & Final Cut Pro with iMac

    Has anyone experienced difficulties getting analog video through an AJA IO LA into an iMac? Control panel on AJA reads no video in or out & when Final Cut is launched I keep getting the following error message: "Unable to open specified video output device, may be in use by other applications, incorrectly connected or may be conflicting with a sound input device." If I continue into Final Cut, I am unable to capture and also have received the following error message: "An Error occurred while configuring QuickTime using the current capture preset. Please quit Final Cut Pro and check your hardware configuration"

    I have no experience with the product you are using, but after looking at their website and the system requirements, it occurred to me that they only mention Power PCs and OS X Panther or later. So the problem might be that their hardware/software is not compatible with Snow Leopard, which included major changes. Have you tried contacting them to ask if your particular model is compatible with an Intel Mac and 10.6?

  • I export from final cut pro 7 to idvd everything comes out fuzzy on the dvd

    I film using a canon fs10. I edit in final cut pro 7, then export to quicktime format, then I burn the dvd using idvd. But the final product always comes out blurry and fuzzy. I can't see what I am doing wrong. Is it because I am not filming in HD?

    Using iMovie, for one, is capturing your files to a codec other than one FCP wants to work with. You would be better off dragging and dropping the files from the camera to a folder on an external drive and converting the footage with MPEG Streamclip to whatever codec you want to work in.
    Using iDVD to compress and author the dvd takes away any control you have over the compression settings for the project.
    You'd be well off getting a FCP training book from someplace like Peachpit Press, or a training dvd from someone here or out there who produces them.
