How to view the "Live View" in Final Cut?

Hi!
I bought the Canon 550d yesterday, and after 30 minutes of use, I realized that the only way to get what you want in terms of focus is to just do it manually.
The only problem is - I need to capture my own face, which means that I can't see anything on the camera screen.
So, I saw that some youtube video makers have their "live" view in final cut, which I thought was brilliant, but I have no idea how to do it.
So here's my question - how do I "view" the live view from my camera in FCP?
Thanks for the help

most yt-makers don't use FCPX, but designated tools like ScreenFlow which offers such an 'effect'. Like in this short advice I made for a friend ...
for Importing a live-feed, read advice here

… but that does NOT guarantee , that your Canon delivers a live-feed, your Mac can acknowledge ...

  • How to get the Vimeo encoding in Final Cut Studio / Final Cut Pro (for web)

    I have some films I would like to "display" on the web. It seems that vimeo.com has a great way of encoding films for the web.
    http://www.vimeo.com/
    Anyone who knows how to do the same encoding within Final Cut? Or are there other ways for web which will work also for windows user (to watch the video without downloading extra plugins?
    I love how the videos starts almost instantly in hd on Vimeo! Al right it skips a bit, but then again it is hd on the web.....

    This is sort of a workaround for what you're trying to achieve:
    Here's a Ken Stone article on encoding for Vimeo.
    So...what a lot of folks are doing these days, is uploading to Vimeo (or similar service). Then back on your own website simply "embed" the Vimeo movie. You can control the size & control colors of the embed. When you're on the Vimeo page for a particular video, you'll see the "Embed" link on the right of the video. Click that and it will expose the code you need to copy into your own website.

  • 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 simple is the Bluray authoring in Final Cut Studio?

    Hello!
    I've been reading posts on Bluray authoring with Final Cut Pro. Just got the upgrade to Final Cut Studio and saw some video at the apple site about bluray.
    Frankly, I don't want to spend money with a Windows authoring software for Bluray.
    So, how basic is the bluray authoring in Final Cut Studio?
    I need the following:
    1-Use a custom image for the background in the menu (but no moving clips,etc).
    2-Chapters.
    3-Enclose an option for an extra short video (like "making off").
    If that is done with FC Studio, it would be enough.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Tom!
    Thanks for your help!
    What I'm really interested is in the HD quality of the video. Flashy flying menus and camera angles I never used neither with commercial DVD or Blurays.
    For authoring: I'll use a custom image (jpeg or whatever - probably a still from the video I shot) for the backgroud , 2 lines of title (1- full video and 2- extra short video) and chapters to jump to scenes.
    In other hand, I shot a video mostly using time lapse with a Canon DSRL (TIFFs edited in Motion), set the FCPro project to 1920 x 1080 25p Apple proress 422 (HQ), and in a Full HD TV I use for monitor (with AJA HDMI converter) looks AWESOME! Images look as amazing as some Hollywood bluray I rented.
    So as you can imagine,I don't want recompressions that may degrade the full HD video.
    If that is possible with the FC Studio bluray basic authoring,I'm running monday to buy an external Bluray, like LA cie or else.
    Regards;
    Javier
    P.D.: I posted in my site an HD clip made with the previous FCPro in Mpeg2. Now I'm using the H264. I didn't had an HD TV for monitor before. Did SD projects.Now the HD changes everything.

  • How to change the white balance in Final Cut Pro?

    What is the best way to change the white balance in Final Cut Pro? I have some clips which are to green. I would like if possible something which might resemble the Camera Raw dialogue in Photoshop. Any way of measuring color (RGB values)?

    There is some specific help in this trainng book:
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Correction-Studio/dp/0321635280/
    When using Color Corrector 3-Way to correct for a green tint, the bullet points are something like this:
    1) After loading the clip into the Viewer and applying the CC3W filter to the clip, open your scopes and move the window so you can see the Viewer (with the CC3W tab open) and the scopes
    2) First, if necessary, adjust the white and black levels using the video level sliders below the white and black color wheels (I use the slider above the scopes to make the trace in th4 scopes as bright as it will go without blooming)
    3) Looking at the Parade scope, the idea is to balance the whites, mids, and blacks on each color display (red, green and blue). So you watch the Parade and drag the dot that is in the center of each color wheel (starting with the whites) away from the color of your tint (in your case, green). Drag the dot until the highest portions in all three Parade displays are as even as you can make them
    4) Then do the same with the mids, using the Mids color wheel, moving its dot away from green
    5) Do the same thing with the blacks
    6) Double check the image on an external video display that is properly adjusted using color bars from Final Cut
    NOTE: This short reply is not sufficient to fully explain this technique, and you really need to understand Color Theory before doing this anyway. That's why I recommended the training book.

  • How to get the HPX files into Final Cut Pro 7?

    Hey.
    I have a small crisis. Hope someone can help as quickly as possible?! Thank you
    I'm working on my bachelor project, and has borrowed a Panasonic HPX 170, and will cut in Final Cut Pro 7. Now I have all the files on a hard drive, and they are MFX files.
    - How do I get them into FCP?
    Many thanks for all your help!

    Thanks
    But what if the clips are already on my iMac via the hard disk? What you write, is through the camera right?
    I've tried to get the files by the camera into FCP, but it did not. It can not find the camera.
    Thanks for your answer

  • How to retrieve the Audio/Video link (final cut pro hd 5)

    Hi there, and sorry for my misknowledgement of this soft.
    I'd like to know if it's possible once we have delete the audio part of a clip in the timeline to get back the Audio part synchronized with the video.
    Thx for help !

    Not entirely sure if I'm following you but try this:
    Select your video-only clip
    Press F on your keyboard to do a Match Frame. The (video & audio) clip should now be loaded into the Viewer with the In & Out matching your timeline clip.
    Replace the clip in the timeline with the clip from the Viewer (For most folks/scenarios, that means drag from the Viewer)
    Post back if that isn't it.

  • I am unable to use the Live View function when working with JavaScript in Dreamweaver.

    I am currently trying to set up my own website with dreamweaver and am very familiar with Java and JavaScript. However, whenever I try to use the Live View function it never lets me. Additionally, I am unable to preview my work in a browser as the option to do so is greyed out.
    However, I have noticed that when using html in a project, all these functions are available. Any ideas how I can be able to use these functions?

    Is it possible you meant to say you were "very unfamiliar with Java and javascript" in your initial post?
    Javascript doesn't do anything without an html page to affect.
    Java and javascript are not the same thing, they're really not even related other than browsers can be made to render both. Java is its own programming language while javascript is basically html's helper monkey. I don't think it's even feasible to "understand javascript" without knowing html. My last post still stands, if you are coding javascript, you need an html based page to turn it into anything but plain code to a browser, so the option to view it will never come up. When you preview the page it's attached to, it will function correctly (as long as it has been attached to the page correctly).
    Java on the other hand can create programs that run without a browser at all and I've never gotten close to touching that monster.
    You may need to explain what you're trying to do and post the code here to get the help you need.

  • The "Live view" does not show in dreamweaver CS 6

    Hi,
    I  cant find the live view button on dreamweaver's toolbar.. there is the code,split, design, and live but not live view..
    There is also another problem concerning the live option which I'm hoping will disappear if I find the live view option.. The problem is my team and I are working on a dreamweaver project, and my colleage gets the view properly, by that I mean: She has the home page, she click on an option and goes to the next page etc.. As for me, when I click the view button, I kinda get something similar to that in the design view... I dont get just the hope page, I get all the pages under each other seperated by dotted guidlines.. how can I fix this?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply, regarding the 2nd question, this is how live view appears when I click design live view:
    http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww256/flower1991a/2965152b-70e8-491d-a13c-a450b03dba2f_ zps1a90075c.jpg
    where it displays the copywrited information thats where the footer of the 1st page is, and where it says New Application thats where the header of the 2nd page is..  in the first page there is the header, the buttons (which do not appear as buttons they just look like hyperlinks) are supposed to take you to the other pages; however, the buttons don't work and all the pages are stacked under each other..
    Its supposed to look like something similar to this:
    http://i725.photobucket.com/albums/ww256/flower1991a/44_zpse578b113.png
    so that when the 1st option is clicked it takes you to the next page...,, the 2nd picture is the original file my friend is working on and the first picture is the copied file that I need to edit..

  • How to change the default view of published iCal's URL

    I am publishing an iCal for a nonprofit group and link to the calendar from the group's website. The default URL given (in the send publish email option) leads to the week view of the current week. I would prefer the link to take site visitors to the month view of the calendar. If I go to the month view and copy the URL for it, and use that for the link, I have to change the URL each month, because the URL that comes from the month view will only show the month it was at the time I copied the URL -- it will not change with the new month. Does anyone have any idea of how I can change the URL so that it leads to the month view of whatever the current month is?
    I should note that I know how to change the default view in the my browser, but I would rather not have to explain how to do this to all the people viewing the calendar -- just wanting the correct month view to show up when they click the link, without having to change it each month.
    I would be so grateful if anyone has some insight on this!
    Thanks.

    Carlo,
    The fact that this question has been left unanswered for over 2 months seems a little negligent on the part of Apple Support.
    This Forum is unfortunately not Apple Support. According to Apple:
    What is Apple Discussions and how can it help me? 
"Apple Discussions is a user-to-user support forum where experts and other Apple product users get together to discuss Apple products. You'll find a wealth of information about your favorite Apple hardware and software products that will help you get the most out of your purchase. You can participate in discussions about various products and topics, find solutions to help you resolve issues, ask questions, get tips and advice, and more.
    If you have a technical question about an Apple product, be sure to check out Apple's support resources first by consulting the application Help menu on your computer and visiting our Support site to view articles and more on our product support pages."
    In direct response to your questions, I would say that (as observed by the OP) anyone who subscribes to a published calendar can make a change to their desired view using the "Preferences" icon which is displayed underneath the mini-month calendars.
    There is no way that I know of to directly or conveniently change the time-range. There may be workarounds, but I could not find a suitable solution for you.
    I would recommend that you provide iCal Feedback, if you are interested in informing Apple of your desires.

  • Error message when I insert a div tag: Couldn't commit the changes made in Live View. Refresh the Live View and try editing again.

    According to a web and support forum search, myself and another person, Chloe in the Dreamweaver Club forum, have ever reported this. Trying to follow along a Lynda.com tutorial, and the instructor isn't getting this error. Can't imagine why it's happening. I'd be very grateful for any help. I'm also getting an error dialog message:
