Hxr-nx30e Sony Video and Final Cut Pro X

I am waiting delivery of a new Sony HXR-NX30e Sony Video camera.  I would like to use Final Cut Pro, but have heard that there might be difficulty importing from the cameras hards disk. - Is this correct and if so what can I do?

I have Sony HDR-250e HD cancorder. No problem to import or edit your clips in FCP. Hopefully you will be able to do the same and also to export your perfect final movie file and enjoy watching it. Unfortunately this is not the case with my Sony HDR-250e. All my exported files are far from perfect. They are choppy and blurred wherever the camcorder was moving. I can't find a solution for that. When you start shooting on your new camcorder, could tou pelase shoot a couple of clips with the camcorder moving horizontally and vertically. Process them in FCP and then check if the video in the expoprted video is smooth.

  • IPad captured video and Final Cut Pro

    hello,
    i am editing videos captured with an iPad 2 in FInal Cut Pro 7, but Final Cut is running really slow and rendering becomes impossible when adding a second video track with either video or photoshop files with a transparency for example. There is no Unlimitted RT option available and the process has become very slow.
    Is there any way of previewing video and audio without rendering all the time?
    iPad video format is:
    H.264, 1920x1080, FPS 29.95
    Sequence settings:
    1920x1080 - HDTV1080i(16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
    Field Dominance: Upper (odd)
    Editing timebase: 29.97
    Compressor: H.264
    Any help apreciated!

    Converted videos with MPEG streamclip to Pro ResLT and workflow is a lot smoother now in FCP7.
    thank you David and David.
    much apreciated!

  • Sony XR500 and Final Cut Pro

    Hi, the XR500 is not really compatible for importing files at the mac. Could anyone help with some Updates ?
    Cause you can import the files in iMovie, but yeah, it's 250mb in 10 secs....
    Would be really nice.
    Maybe i'm doing something wrong ?

    Try CLIPWRAP. There is a free demo, and it is a great way to convert footage for use in FCP. That'll be your ticket.

  • Sony DCR-HC42 and Final Cut Pro??

    Can anyone verify that the Sony DCR HC42 digital video camera works with an G4 12" iBook and Final Cut Pro 5??
    I want to buy this camera but want to make sure I can edit the footage with FCP.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you checked at Apple's Final Cut Studio web
    site:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/qualif
    ication.html
    It doesn't appear on the certified list.
    However, googling the cam reveals:
    http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-DCR-HC42-Cam
    corder-Review.htm
    Glad to help, but it's always good to be resourceful
    first.
    The real issue is a G4 iBook with no second firewire
    bus, the need for a firewire capture disk and FCP5.
    You are not going to be very productive with this set
    up and there will be issues of DF and throughput.
    That iBook can't use much RAM
    best wishes
    Thanks, I appreciate the help.
    I had already checked the FCP offical list - sorry did not mention in the post.
    I had also checked a lot of other sites and found nothing clearly stating that the DCR-HC42 works with the G4 iBook and FCP - but I had seen a review from a customer (on some site) saying it did not work with thier iMac (where other cameras like Canon had) and they thought that it might be due to a video card issue??
    As for the set up - not doing any major editing jobs so I think that I am OK.
    Any more info would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • I have a fairly new iMac wI now have iMovie events and Final Cut pro events that are duplicates.  Does that mean that all my video is copied onto my hard dive twice?

    If I have video in imovie and final cut pro X, does that mean there are two copies of the video, one for each piece of SW?  If so, how do I get rid of the imovie events and keep only the Final Cut Pro X events (video)?  I don't want multiple copies of the same video stored on the hard drive.

    If you import to FCP directly from the Camera or from a camera archive, you would likely import choosing Optimized Files which would go to a FCP event that is in ProRes 422 codec. This would be in addition to your iMovie Event which would import using the Apple Intermediate Codec. So you would have two copies of the same information. An AIC copy and a larger ProRes copy.
    However, if you use FILE/IMPORT/iMOVIE EVENT LIBRARY, FCP will not duplicate the event files from iMovie. It will treat them as referenced files, and will point to the iMovie Event files in the reference. So there is no duplication. You will be editing Apple Intermediate Codec files in FCP.
    However, FCP will create Event folders. In addition to the reference information, these will contain thumbnail files that are compatible with FCP, stabilization and analysis files that are compatible with FCP, as well as any intermediate render files that are associated with the Event.
    So in this case, there is no duplication of the large event files, but there is some duplication of the small thumbnail files.
    I have several terabytes of iMovie Events, which are now all available in FCP. Believe me, I would know if they were duplicated because all my disks would be full.

    256GB SSD  it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
    Default memory is 12GB  also something to think about.

  • Adobe Premiere 6.5 and final cut pro 4

    hello can you help me too i recently bought a d,a upgraded to 1ghz duel 1 gb ram but when i try to capture video on final cut pro on os 10.4.9 i get dropped frame error how can i get round this am i doing some thing wrong or is it a software problem i know its only a copy of final cut pro not a legal version would using a copy of final cut pro hd solve my problem? as i here it is possible that their is an issue with 10.4.9 i am using adobe premere 6.5 which has dropped like 4 frames in the full length but still captures the video how can i resolve the drop frames issue in final cut prowould allocating more ram help????
    i am conserned that my upgrdaed digital audio mac is not up to the job of editing video duel 1ghz processor 1 gb ram i have two hard drives one 80gb hard drive for the system and a 250gb hard drive for the video capture i cant see dropped frames on my digital 8mm sony cam corda but the dropped frames seem apparent on the mac. would setting more ram to the application help more.
    i have been also exsperiencing problems with quick time too
    im using a firewire connection 400kbs
    because the machine bus is decreased could this affect capture due to the upgrade? i think its a giga bite upgrade
    i have had to mount one hard drive the 250gb one upside down could this affect the system?
    as ive decided to add hard drive coolers on the hard drives
    any advise where i might be going wrong?
    also tryed adobe premere but in this it keeps crashing too should have i gone for a quicksilver native processor machine in stead instead it seems to spend a long time to load up premere or final cut pro
    one other question i also added two hd coolers but attached the power source for both coolers on the same connection on one hard drive would this affect running speed of one of the drives?

    No... the Dv500 (I have one, with P6.02) came with software that is specifically written to link the card's hardware to the appropriate software "hooks" inside Premiere
    Without that software to act as a bridge between card and Premiere, Premiere doesn't know the card exists
    You might Google to see if Pinnacle ever wrote software to make that card work with Premiere, but that would be the only way to get them to work together that I know about
    As long as the files you are are DV AVI type 2 with 48Khz sound, they will edit just fine in Premiere

  • Burning a video from Final Cut Pro using iDVD

    When I export and save my video from Final Cut Pro to a folder (export->Using Quick Time Conversion). When I do that there are several different videos that are saved in my folder (ie-Kelly Michelle; Kelly Michelle-av1; Kelly Michelle-av2; Kelly Michelle-av3; Kelly Michelle-av4; Kelly Michelle-av5).
    iDVD is the program I need to use, I do not have any other programs. Therefore, I import the file to iDVD and once everything is ready in iDVD I try to burn the dvd. However, in the last stages of burning a window pops up and says that "an error was found during the burning process". It does not tell me what kind of an error it is. Does anyone have any advice or a step by step process that I need to do in order to burn my dvd successfully.

    The simplest way to prepare a video for iDVD is to *Export/Quicktime Movie* (NOT Using Quicktime Conversion), select Current Settings, Audio and Video and, depending on your needs, other 2 options:
    o- +Make Movie Self-Contained+ is preferred to have an independent movie (you can move the exported file, you can continue editing your FCP project before burning the exported version, etc.) but requires more disk space and more time for exporting.
    o- +Chapter Markers+ (NOT All Chapters) must be selected if you created Chapter Markers in FCP (markers in the timeline, not the clip, and clicked the Add Chapter Marker button in the marker dialog).
    The resulting .mov file (whether self-contained or reference) may be easily imported to iDVD.

  • What compression to use when Exporting HD video from final cut pro PAL setting

    Hi there
    I'm trying to export my HD video from Final cut Pro so that I can edit it in DVD studio Pro. I initially exported it on H.264 setting however it then gives me the message 'NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects' It was edited with PAL setting so I think it must be the conversion but i'm not sure which option to use.....been really struggling to get the 1 hour footage under 4.5gb without losing too much quality...
    Any advice greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    Just to add two suggestions.
    1) Consider putting your four movies on two disks.
    2) Bring your movies into Compressor and duplicate the stock DVD setting. In the Encoding pane of the Inspector, select a CBR and dial it back to around 6.2 to 6.5 Mbs. In Preview mark a small section and submit; you'll get 2 elementary streams, with m2v and AC3 extensions. Bring that into DVDSP and evaluate results. Adjust as necessary. (This is to avoid waiting out very long encodes and then having to start again from scratch if you get disappointing results.)

  • Canon EOS 5D Mark II viedos and Final Cut Pro

    Photographer Vincent Laforet have posted the original clips made with the new Canon EOS 5D Mark II. This camera could be record movies 1920x1080p in H.264.
    The clips could be downloaded here: http://blog.vincentlaforet.com/2008/09/26/original-raw-clips-from-reverie-now-av ailable-for-download/
    I've tested this video on two MacBook Pro, a 15" and a 17" HD, all with 4GB of RAM and Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz.
    The video is flicking every 5 seconds, on Quicktime Pro and Final Cut Pro 6.
    I've created a Sequence in HDTV 30fps and imported the clips. The next step was to import the clips. FCP asked me to change the video and audio settings of the timeline with the settings of the MKII. The video is flicking every 5 seconds.
    I can't imagine what computer I should use.
    I've seen the Xserve in the making of and I think that Vincent have used its to edit the footage with FCP. A last model of professional laptop from Apple is unable to do this.

    Hey Guys:
    According to a recent analysis by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, the h264 video captured in camera is one I-frame for each 15 P-frame. No B-frames. You can read the full report here:
    http://nrkbeta.no/video-test-clips-from-canon-5d-mark-ii-gets-analyzed/#comment- 58420
    I've posted a short video tutorial explaining the process to convert the source h264 files to Apple ProRes 422. IMHO, converting to the i-frame Apple ProRes 422 codec as early in the post process as possible will save time and headaches down the line. You can check out the video tutorial here:
    www.petersalvia.wordpress.com.
    Theoretically, by converting to ProRes you could work with the footage on a PC if you install the ProRes Decoder for Windows. That decoder is available here:

    Hope this helps!

  • Can't Export Video from Final Cut Pro

    After updated to OS Maverick, I can no longer export video from Final Cut Pro.
    It pops up "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)"
    ANYONE CAN HELP??

    10.0.2, I think this is where the problem is.
    I will update to the latest (10.0.9) and update this thread to see if this will resolve my problem.

  • Can't import iPad videos in Final Cut Pro X

    Hello there, anyone knows if there are recent issues in importing iPad videos into Final Cut Pro X?
    I follow the ordinary workflow, and it all seems ok but at the end of the importing process a "!" yellow triangle remains attached to the imported clip and this one can't be played.
    Already tried to make a high quality conversionand/or a proxy, the conversion process seems to start but it doesn't go further than 0%.
    Thanks in advcance for your help.
    PS: the videos have been teaken with the "Video Pro" app an then exported to the iPad "film roll".
    PPS: in the importing window the clips can be played normally.

    Russ, I succeed in importing some files by transcoding them in a proxy one by one (that is not in a work queue). Some other files simply stops the rendering process and make it hang until the closing of FCPX. Thanks for your time.

  • Hi, i've made a video in final cut pro, the problem is that when i export it not the entire video is played, just the first 3 seconds

    i made a video in final cut pro x. The entire thing isn't that long, however when it comes to sharing it only the very first few seconds are playe.
    Thanks,
    Jamie

    see where the clip ends and then the timeline becomes black? when i add on an extra clip that line thing with the arrow does not move and if i try to export the video not all of it is played, just till that arrow.
