How to I turn OFF Scene Detect in Final Cut Pro 5.0?

Hey. I recently bought a new Sony HD camera and when I want to import my footage, it logs each cut as a clip. So lets say I have a 10 minute scene with 50 cuts, after I log the footage I have 50 different clips to edit with.
I like having one big long scene and taking small pieces from it as I go along. Plus it seems like after 10 cuts, the importing stops and I have to start all over again.
I just want to sit back and import long pieces of footage without the hassle of hundreds of 5-10 second clips, its going to be very hard to organize.
I saw this on the Apple support site but it didn't really help me. Is this something that is permanent and you cant change? I hope not. http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23293?viewlocale=en_US
Please help!

But it didn't do that with standard.
Standard def editing formats always have an I frame structure. Every frame is independant and can be edited. Not so with HDV, it is a [long GOP|http://www.highdef.com/library/whatishdv.htm] format so if there is a break, it has to be in the right place.
What you're telling me is that it can't be disabled?
Guess so.

  • Scene Detection in Final Cut Pro

    It would be really awesome if Apple could develop some sort of scene detection software for Final Cut Pro and Color. A lot of color correction work that we do in the DaVinci comes from edited programs off of tape. It would be nice to speed up the notching process to open up Color to people not using Final Cut Pro.

    yes that would be lovely, but it would require realtime playback to make it worthwhile. No, COLOR isn't a daVinci in that department. And besides, daVinci never detected dissolves or other subtle scene changes --and could generate spurious event boundaries with fast-moving objects or wildly varying contrast.
    I agree that it would be great especially since correcting a "baked" show is really a serious compromise to begin with. In this scenario, you're always going to be faced with keyframing transitions, the colour non-linearities associated with that, and likely a drop/non-drop issue if you use "Import as Cut List". See the release notes. Otherwise, hand-cut french fries-- and ALWAYS a better idea to do that in FCP before sending to COLOR. Trust me.
    Nope, bringing in the layered sequence from FCP, even if it has been translated via AutoDuck from some other edit package, is the method of choice.

  • How do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

    how do i turn off the startup sound on macbook pro?

    You don't. You may find some third-party software that will, however. Try Auto Mute.
    Alternatively, you can try this:
    I think this is the best and simplest solution. Open a Terminal window and type (or copy/paste) the following to turn down the startup noise:
         sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume="%00"
    Press RETURN.
    And to restore it to the original value type:
         sudo nvram -d SystemAudioVolume
    Press RETURN.
    That's all folks.

    What format is your problem clip? Are there wave forms visible in the section without sound?
    Right click on the clip in the event broswer and choose Reveal in Finder; open the clip in Quick Time to confirm that there is sound throughout at that stage of your workflow.

  • How to play an HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro?

    How to play an HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro? on a mac???

    How to play an HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro? on a mac?
    Most FCP users export them in a high-effeciency distribution/delivery compression format (e,g,, H.264/AAC) targeted for a particular application and/or device. For example, you could export using H.264/AAC at full display resolution for playback in the QT Player at an appropriate data rate if your platform and display can handle the output. TV would limid the video to 960x540 at 30/29.97 fps and normal AAC audio to 160 kbps at 48.0 KHz. Files exported for display an the Internet would be restricted by the bandwidth being targeted. Etc, etc, etc. Unless the file will only be played on your own platform, what you do not want to do is use an FCP only compression format which would limit viewers to those recipients have the same FCP codecs installed.

  • How do you turn off snap to grid in Logic Pro x

    Hi
    How do you turn off snap to grid as in garageband .....it was quite simple...
    But I don't seem to get to grips with this in logic ....
    I have options of smart ...and so on ....
    I want to be able to move eg an imported audio file to start wherever I want so not to snap to the nearest beat or bar...
    Anyone know??
    Thanks

    Technically you cannot turn it off, but you can choose a very fine resolution which in effect boils down to having it off: ticks. For accurately lining up audio you can use Samples (the smallest snap value, probably equates to GB's off setting?).
    I have F5 to F8 assigned to snap values bar, beat, division and tick. Very handy.
    The Frames values obviously come in handy when working to video, though there's no law agaist using it without video.
    Note that they are ordered from big to smallest.

  • How do I change the speed of the Final Cut Pro X "Ticker" Title option?

    I am moving from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X.  I used to use the "ticker" title option all the time in iMovie, but when I utilize it in Final Cut Pro X, it scrawls really slow and only shows the first line of text before the video ends.  How do I adjust the speed of this option?

    This Motion template effect isn't very useful at the moment.
    Sadly, the only way of changing the speed is to modify the effect in Motion.
    The speed is designed to get the word 'Information' at the default size and default typeface across the screen over the duration of the clip. If you add more text, or change its size, the text will not move off the edge of the screen by the end of the duration of the generator.

  • How can I publish the "levels" effect to final cut pro x?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to publish all of the color correction plugins from motion into final cut pro x, the "levels" effect in particular. I have read the instructions in the manual and published all the parameters and then saved it to send it over to final cut pro x but the problem that I'm having is when I open it up in final cut pro x all the parameters are there except for the histogram and its controls, what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks.

    The short answer is you can't publish the levels graphic UI (you can, but it doesn't work in FCPX - all you get is the collection of the individual slider controls.)
    You can create a shape with a gradient fill. Set a middle color tab and a second opacity tab. You can use Link parameter behaviors from the color/opacity tabs to the the filter > Levels parameter controls. Use the color tabs for Black In, Gamma and White In. Use the Opacity tabs for Black Out and White Out.
    You can publish the shape's gradient.
    The problem is, to publish this UI, you're publishing an actual gradient and people will be able to make alterations to the gradient (it won't change how it operates the levels controls.) The other problem with it is that it is possible for users to accidentally pull off or add new tabs which will immediately break the effect (and immediate "undo" should repair it though). Then, figuring out how to manipulate the Gamma control is going to be a trick (I haven't figured out yet.) The values go from 5 (all the way left) to 0 (all the way right - with 1 the 50% mark) for the Gamma control itself, but the UI controller (the middle tab on the gradient) moves the control in the opposite direction and the values are logarithmic in scale. You can use the mid-tab control on the gradient linked to the gamma parameter value, but it won't behave the same way as you would expect a genuine levels control to behave (left to right goes from black to white when the expectation would be the opposite.)
    A gradient with links into the filter is about the only way to go if you want it give it a shot.

  • How do I connect my DSLR camera to Final Cut Pro's Camera Import?

    I recently purchased a Canon EOS Rebel T3i. I am trying to get it to record directly into Final Cut Pro, but I can't figure out how.
    It does not have a FireWire port, just a USB and HDMI output. I'm thinking it's going to need to output to the HDMI port and have some sort of interface between the Mac and the HDMI cable, but I would prefer to record directly using the USB cable.
    I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this and/or has done it before. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Zane

    I haven't got a DSLR but I think they probably import like most AVCHD camcorders.
    You connect it with a USB cable and switch it on.
    You then set FCP X to import the video clips.
