How easy for a FCE user to adapt to Final Cut Pro X

Hi Folks,
I use Final Cut Express for some years and although far from being an expert I use it relatively easy and well.
As I am planning to move to the new iMac and Mountain Lion, I wonder about usage similarilies and easiness adaptation to Final Cut Pro X?
Thanks in advance

    how to setup an artist mix (audio mixer) on final cut pro 7?

    Hi Meatpuppet,
    I'm having the same issue with not getting my audio through to the client on Ichat theater preveiew. I'm on a mac pro with a small DV camera attached via firewire. when I start the chat, the person on the other side sees and hears me fine, but then when I start sharing in FCP, the video switches so that the remote person sees the time line, but loses the audio from me and doesn't hear the audio from the time line...
    The manual recommends "disconnecting and external video device" ( then what do us mac pro folks do?)
    So my question for you, and I know that you're on and Apogee Duet, is: Was your tinkering in FCP, your system sound settings, or iChat? in other words, where was the disconnect?
    thanks.

    You can't directly. You can either export a file, or you can save it as a template, effect, title, transition, or generator, that can be used in FCP.

  • 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 import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7. Thanks

    How do I import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7? Thanks.

    Locate the .caf file you want to use in FCP in the Finder.  Normally, iLife sound files will be in Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/(subfolder).
    Open the file on SoundTrack Pro, the go to File->Save a Copy As.  In the Save As window that will open, navigate to where you want to save the file, then near the bottom of that window, use the drop-down File Format menu to choose AIFF.  Set the bit depth to 16-Bit Integer and the Sampling Rate to 48000 hz.
    Import the resulting AIFF file into your FCP project.

  • What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x

    What happens to Apple Color users with the new Final Cut Pro x?

    Some of the functions of Color have been incorporated into FCP X, meaning you will have more than the 3-Way-Color-Corrector but less than Color.
    Since you cannot share projects between FCP and FCP X, you might want to stay with FCS if you rely on Color.

  • 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.

  • How to replace audio on a music video with final cut pro x

    How do I replace low quality audio on a music video to a higher better quality audio with final cut pro x?
    I have the new audio on cd which I can rip and replace the original audio.
    Some audio and music videos are not of same length, In cases like this how do I sync video to the newly replaced audio?
    Is there any tutorial, link or where to look for this in the manual?
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Providing you don't need the video synced or cut to a beat, all you need to do is place your music in the primary storyline
    Connect your video above.
    While your video is connected, hit CMD+R on your keyboard and stretch the video to the length of the music
    If you were to cut the video to a beat, simply add markers on your music track, then connect and trim clips to your markers.

  • HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

    When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

    Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
    If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
    If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
    Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
    If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
    Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

  • How do you type on a text transition on Final Cut Pro X?

    I am having trouble figuring out how to type on the ink splats title. Please give instructions that include where the buttons are, as I am just starting to use Final Cut Pro X.

    Move the playhead to where the text appears. Double click on each word to edit the Title and Subtitle separately. You can also click on the words and drag them on the screen to reposition them if necessary.  When you double click on the words, you can also alter their respective text properties by going into the Text inspector and changing the available aspects for each text element (like font, size, etc...)
