How do I get rid of face shine using Final Cut Pro 7?

The interviewee's face is very shiny. I've tried lowering the whites and mids with no luck, and I don't have photoshop. Any suggestions?

Try the Blowout Fixer plugin. It's free

When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

Glad you found the answer. But something seems wrong. FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive. It's not advisable, but it should be possible. You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

How do I get copyright or license to show Final Cut Pro in use by a character in a film?

Hi,
I am working in a Film Production team in Brazil. We are producing a film where the main character is a film editor and he uses Apple Final Cut Pro at his work.
The film is for all ages - no restriction.
I have already written to "Copyright Permissions" but had no answer since June!
Do I need a copyright license for that?
And if I do, how do I get it from Apple?
Thank you in advance.

I am not a lawyer, but I don't see how you are infringing on Apple. Remember, most e-mails are not read or replied to. Your best course of action would be to send a priority letter to Apple's street address. They still may not reply, but it will be read.
A test that usually (but not always) works. Is your activity costing the other party money. Is your activity resulting in the other party losing sales.
If your movie is showing some guy at a desk using a companies software; it's beyond my comprehension why they would have a problem. In fact, many companies pay for “product placement”. However, I understand that Apple does not engage in this practice.
But I can assure you, every time you see someone with a Coke (and other products) in a movie the producers were probably paid.

TS1233 How do I get chapter markers for iDVD from Final Cut Pro X?

It seems like a tremendous short-coming that Final Cut Pro X doesn't allow for chapter markers that can be used in iDVD or DVD Pro. Surely there is some way to get used-defined markers from Final Cut Pro X or at least re-define the Final Cut Pro X markers in the DVD authoring applications. Does anyone know how to do this?

I have decided to say that my problem is solved by the work-a-rounds that have been submitted. I STILL don't like the fact tha Apple has decided that DVD's are a thing of the past and therefore (chapter) markers are of no use. That may be true is the publishing world of YouTube, Vimeo, etc. but it certainly NOT true for many of us advanced hobbyists that still like distribution on DVD's to our friends or a more localized (private) community -- especially to those who are not computer literate. If Apple wants to exclude us from their customer base, I suggest that base will become even smaller than their competitors who still have chapter markers in their products. I'll get off my soapbox now. . .

How do I access previous saved edit versions using Final Cut Pro X?

Final Cut Pro X unexpectantly quit and when I reopened it all of my edits were lost. Is there a way to access the automatic save vault so I can get back all of my work? Please help!
Thank you.

Locate the project file with Finder. If you are using version 10.0.3, inside the folder is another folder called Backups.
Double-click the file in there. Unless you backed up your project, this is your only hope of recovering your project, but of course, all your original media should be safe.
Always keep backups of important work - on at least one external hard drive.

How will we at edit a greenscreen background using Final Cut Pro???

Any serious help/advice is highly appreciated. My fellow classmates and I have attempt, time and time again, to figure out Apple Final Cut Pro. We are trying to EDIT our GREENSCREEN background and replace it with the background of our choice. Whether it be a picture or video. I'm so frustrated. I'm begging for detailed help.
Thanks,
William Blair

Good advice Nick! I've noticed a lot of new editors overlook the power of the manual. Being able to search the entire thing in seconds can make it faster and easier to find an answer than posting a question in a forum.
Here's a basic approach, select your green-screen clip, put it on top of your background, look under video effects, and add a chroma key effect. You can add multiple effects to help dial it in such as Matte Choker. That's the most basic way. FCP has a fairly good keyer. Even with bad lighting you can sometimes get it to work. Good luck.
Something I recently learned was; To export the clip with the alpha channel created by keying out the green, don't render before exporting.

How do I get from an HD sequence in Final Cut Pro to a regular DVD?

Hi,
I'm finishing my first HD project, and I'm trying to get it onto a normal DVD, and I can't figure out how I should export it out of Final Cut and what settings I should use in DVD studio pro. I need the dvd to play on normal, couple year old dvd players.
Help!
Thanks,
Sarah

You should export a master file from FCP using Current Settings (same as your Timeline) as a Self Contained or Reference movie -Self Contained is preferable as it creates a file that is independent of the source footage and render files.
Bring that into Compressor and choose one of the time based DVD settings that the duration of your movie will fit into. Import the resulting MPEG2 video and AC3 audio files into DVD SP.

How can i get a tv show clip into final cut pro x?

say i download a tvshow clip from itunes, can i get that episode in FCP X?

Since you own the copyright, then you (or whoever works for you) must have a copy of the original master. Just use that. It's going to be much better quality than the compressed version you uploaded to iTunes.

How do I get rid of the Not Using SoftArtisan File UP notice that is slowing down my uploads to class where I teach?

How do I get rid of the Not Using SoftArtisan File UP notice that is slowing down my uploads to class where I teach? A notice now appears every time I upload an image to class as an attachment that says, Not Using SoftArtisan File UP, and this appears to be slowing down my uploads tremendously. I want to get rid of this. I never used it before and don't need it and don't want it. I just want the uploads to work like they did before this idiotic notice started slowing things down.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

HT200276 HOW WILL I GET THE LOST SERIAL NUMBER OF FINAL CUT STUDIO

HOW WILL I GET THE LOST SERIAL NUMBER OF FINAL CUT STUDIO ???

It's on the back of the installation booklet. If you've lost that, and have some proof of purchase, it can probably be sorted out by contacting Apple.

I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

Hi Carsten...good luck with your project.. I had just about as many Video8 & Hi8 tapes as
you that I digitized and eventually brought into FCPX..took me many months not weeks
to do so,BTW, as each tape was 60-90 minutes in lenght...and many hundreds of
gigab ytes of storage ( uncompressed AVI files)..it's tedious work unless you plan to farm
it out to a processing house...also regarding eventual storage format...remember
Hi8 is 400 lines or about 540X480 in todays resoultion metrics..you can't make hi-def out
of source that starts out as 400 lines...in my case I rewrapped the avi files into .mov
containers and imported the mov files into FCPX where I got rid of the hundreds of
minutes of Colorado mountain landscapes to get to that one minute shot of the kids
on horseback ( late 80's for most of my archives)..so its a job..scouring thru 30X90 min
of source to not miss those precious memories takes diligence and hard work but its worth
it; eventually I encode the uncompressed video I want to save in H.264 format Staandard
Def not HiDef

How to Free up Disk Space to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime?

I am using Final Cut Pro on a Mac OX10. When I try to export a Final Cut Pro project to QuickTime I get a message saying that I do not have enough disk space available. How do I free up additional disk space? (I am a little confused because I have already deleted more disk space than I am current trying to use)
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Might try restarting the computer, just to refresh the system's memory... be sure you empty the trash too... the new space won't show up until you do.

I had downloaded and used Final Cut Pro 7 (studio 3) on my mac, but it died. Can I download it to my new computer without buying a new copy? I'm not sure of the number of installations for academic copies. How would I do this?

AH...good.
There is no limit on the times you can install it from the DVDs. There's just a limit as to being able to run it on multiple machines AT THE SAME TIME. If your old computer dies, or you sell it (please reformat the drive so they don't get FCP for free), then you can install on a new computer fine. And you are allowed to install on (1) desktop and (1) laptop at the same time as well...but only use it on one machine at any given time. Meaning you can use it on the desktop at work, and then when away from the office, on your laptop.
Long story short...you can install it fine without any issues.

How do I do the annoying orange effect in Final Cut Pro X?

I cant find any tuturials on how to do this on the new version of Final Cut Pro.

You might get a more knowledgeable answer if you post in the actual Pro Applications forums - the FCP users hang out there:
