How to use Helvetica Neue light in Final Cut Express

On my Imac I can find Helvetica neue light in Imovie and in other applications, but not in FCE. I like to work with this font. Is there a way?

Don't use ScreenSnapz Pro, anything you get from that is not going to be as good quality as simply downloading it directly from the source.
1. Use [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com/|click here to download] to get the file from YouTube using its "Open URL (Cmd-U)" function.
2. Export to Quicktime (Cmd-E) using these settings:
Compression: Apple DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Frame Size: 720x480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Quality: 100%
Sound: Uncompressed Stereo 48kHz
Use a DV-NTSC sequence within FCE.

  • How to use You Tube clips in Final Cut Express?

    I'm trying to use some You Tube clips in a Final Cut Express project - purely personal.
    What I'm doing is this:
    Play You Tube Video
    Capture it as a Movie using ScreenSnapz Pro.
    Saving it as a DV / NTSC quicktime movie - w/ 48 hz audio under Screensnapz options.
    When I put it into the Final Cut Express timeline, it does not require rendering (I have loaded the DV/48hz sequence preset). But... the audio seems slower than it should be and the video is VERY much slower than it should be. The audio and video are not synched).
    Other clips imported from other sources (such as video taken from a DVD using DVDxDV) is working fine.
    What am I missing here?

  • How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help

    How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help!!

    Simply drop the effect onto the appropriate audio track. Set the frequency for the hum frequency (50Hz or 60Hz depending on your power supply). Include whichever harmonics you think might be present eg. 100, 150, 200Hz.
    Note that I have generally had more success by using Soundtrack Pro's noise removal tool.

  • How is MacBook Pro working with Appleworks, Final Cut Express, etc?

    Hi,
    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    I've heard Applications in iLife work with MacBook Pro great.
    Anyone have any problems with
    1. Appleworks?
    2. Final Cut Express?
    3. Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac?
    Anything else about this new system one should look out for, be aware of?
    - Ross

    Ross,
    I can only respond regarding Office 2004. So far, Entourage works great and I've had no problems. Same with Word. PowerPoint is a little slow, but it was on my PB too. I hardly ever use Excel, but, I am sent Excel files all day long and opening them and getting around them seems to have no issues.
    In general, I think that Office will be better as a Universal App (whenever?) but it is "okay" now.

  • How to use layers from photoshop in final cut?

    I am googling, but not coming up with much updated info. I would like to use layers from a Photoshop stills file within Final Cut. Any good tutorial videos out there?

    may I use keyframes etcetera and eventually animate separate layers?
    Ummmm .... yeah. That's the whole point of being able to open the PSD in its own Sequence. Each layer will be on a separate track so you can manipulate each layer individually. Wait ... I've said that already.

  • How to create custom Easy Setups in Final Cut Express 4

    I've been searching the web hours on end trying to find an answer to this question. Basically, here's the deal. I have a whole bunch of clips in 720p HD, at 60 fps with some other custom settings that aren't supported by Apple's default easy setups. I need a way to edit or create an easy setup to fit my needs for editing this type of video.
    Thanks for any help,
    Justin

    JTK-
    If you want to create your own easy setup configurations you will need Final Cut Pro (in Final Cut Studio).
    FCE is designed to handle DV (NTSC or PAL) and Apple Intermediate Codec. (HDV and AVCHD are transcoded to Apple Intermediate Codec during capture.) Regarding high def video, FCE is designed to work with 720p30, 1080i50 and 1080i60.
    Generally it's best to convert nonstandard video to QuickTime using one of the above codecs before importing the video into FCE.

  • How to import a dvd file on final cut express

    I don't have a camcorder. The footage I want to work on is on a dvd. Is it possible to import it and if yes how? When I open the DVD on my desktop, I have two folder. One audio and one video. The files extension in the video folder are .bup .ifo .vob. Is it possible to convert the files without loosing quality?
    What do you suggest ?
    Many thanks

    Search would give you lots of results for this
    Basically you need to encode the DVD's MPEG2 file to a format FCE understands, like DV/HDV
    You can use software like MPEG Streamclip or DVxDVD to do this

  • Panasonic P2HD how do i get the video into Final Cut Express.

    I have a Panasonic P2HD video camrea how do i get the video into FCE.

    You can't. FCE doesn't support DVCPRO HD. You'd have to convert it to the Apple Intermedia Codec in some other sofware. FCE also probably doesn't support the frame resolution the P2 media is using.

  • How do I record video straight into final cut express?

    I'm pretty new to the video editing world, and I can't figure out how to run my camera straight into express to record, if that is even possible. The camera is a panasonic AVCCAM, and its the model AG-HMC40P. It has a usb 2.0 mini out and a hdmi out, but I don't know how to run those into my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    This is an AVCHD camcorder.  FCE can capture video recorded by this camcorder, but you cannot just connect the camcorder to your Mac and capture "live" video from the camcorder.
    To capture/ingest recorded AVCHD video, in FCE select one of the AVCHD Easy Setups that matches how you shot your video, then connect the camcorder to your Mac via USB, then in FCE use the Log & Transfer function to ingest the video from the camcorder.
    If you really  need to capture live video, you will need to use either a miniDV camcorder ... or use an analog-digital converter to which you would connect the analog output of your camcorder and also the Firewire port on your Mac. The Canopus ADVC-110 or ADVC-300 are examples of good quality converters.
    Notes:  Your camcorder appears to have an ordinary a/v out in addition to HDMI and Component.  You could use the a/v out with the converter.  The analog-digital converter will convert the analog output of your camcorder to DV over FireWire.  Both methods, of course, will only give you standard-def 4:3 video.  In FCE you would select the DV-NTSC DV Converter easy setup and use the Capture Now function to capture the video/audio.

  • How do you import mpeg2 files into final cut express?

    I have recently show my sons christening, and relied on a friend to do ths shooting. One of the tapes unfortunatley has broken, and I have had a second party transfer this footage onto DVD for me. He is also sending the footage through as an MPEG 2 file. Is there anything I can do with this using FCPE?

    Convert the DVD's VOB files into a format that works natively in FCE.  For DVD footage (which is SD), use MPEG Streamclip to do the converting.  Here's a tutorial on using MPEG Streamclip: http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=739
    MPEG Streamclip is freeware, but you may need to purchase the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component from Apple if you don't have it already.

  • How do I import an AVI file for use with FInal Cut Express

    How do I import or use an AVI file with Final Cut Express?
    Thank you. Do I need to convert my AVI file and what is the
    easiest way to do that? Thank you.

    You should convert the media to QuickTime. Without knowing any specifics most likely the simplest way is to use MPEG Streamclip.

  • How to Import WMV's into Final Cut Express WithOUT Flip4Mac

    How can I import a .wmv into Final Cut Express v.1.0 without using Flip4Mac? I am doing a video for a friend who gave me a .wmv file and it throws up a "Flip4Mac Free Trial" watermark. So lame. Is there a free version of something I can use? I googled but couldn't find. Any suggestions? Thanks SO much in advance.

    There aren't any free import/export components for WMV content. F4M is the best, since it's integrated into FC, but, as you've found out, without paying the $49., the free version limits the clip to 1/2 it's duration up to 30 seconds, and puts the watermark on.
    The other software that converts is Visual Hub, but it doesn't have the FC integration...it's slightly cheaper.
    There's one other option HERE, that I have not tried. Supposedly they will convert video to other formats for you.

  • How to add audio track to Final Cut Express

    Move your cursor into the gray area below the A4 audio track, then control click and select Add Track.

  • Camcorder Campatibility with I Movie O8 and Final Cut Express HD

    I am trying to decide between the Canon HV20 and the Sony HDR-HCR camcorders, does anyone have experience editing with either using I Movie 08 or Final Cut Express HD 4

    I chose the Sony because of the overall build quality: it seems like it can withstand more wear and tear from lots of use better than the Canon, and the video quality is amazing. Its only negative point would be dark indoor lighting. However I'm not sure how the Canon does in low light.
    Hope this helps
