I need lot's of help, please help me

Greetings all:
I am new to FCE 4 and I am normally used to using Ulead Video Studio 11.5...I know, Ulead VS, yuck! But I am stumped with FCE, how do I create a final DVD? I have looked and read and do not see an easy way to create a DVD without doing some sort of export, then DVD copy. I am hoping that all of you FCE gurus will come to my aid.
Also, another issue I was hoping to get resolved...is there any royalty free music in FCE 4? I keep looking and see none...is Final Cut Pro what i would be looking for to get this?
Just as an aside, with Ulead VS there are tons of royalty free music as well as a very easy create DVD with chapters etc right in the main interface, and I am trying to use FCE 4 because it has a lot of nice features that other programs simply do not have...but it seems a bit hard for me right now, and I am sure that is because I am a total FCE 4 noob, and am used to other programs interfaces. Please FCE 4 gurus throw me a life preserver.
Also, if you know of of any good tutoral web pages please let me know.
Also, please dont flame me to hard for using VS 11.5...
Thank you,
Dave Jordan

hey there dkjordan & welcome to Discussions.
you can export QT movie bring it into Garageband & add music there using the loops & few sound FX available. you create chapters in FCE(Mark/Markers/Add/Chapter Markers) or in GB. you can check out GB & rest of iLife(iDVD, iPhoto) tutorials: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/
see also Ken Stone's site: http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/fcp_homepageindex.html
Ken's site has some FCE specific info & lot's of FCP info & tips many of which translate to FCE. depending on the format/codec for the Ulead audio clips, you may be able to load them onto your Mac or just drag them from the CD if you want to use them, i've used audio loops from Sony ACID-worth a shot.
good luck.

  • A lot of recent problems, please help

    Let's go back to a month ago to start.
    Turned on my computer, had an X appear where the apple should have been, reinstalled leopard, erased my hard drive completely.
    Worked fine until two weeks ago when I got stuck at a solid blue screen at startup. Ran disk utility and installed leopard onto my external (didn't time machine anything). Booted up Leopard though my external and moved all my internal files to my external and then went to install leopard to my internal. Worked, but then couldn't get it past the apple screen with the "pinwheel"
    Took it to my school's help desk and they said I needed a new hard drive. Bought one, they installed it and I brought it back to me room. It has "mac os extended" as the version and works, but I can't install leopard.
    For some reason when I put it in, it won't boot past the same apple screen with the "pinwheel", and wont bring up the setup during start up. (pressing c to try and run the disk) So I put the disk in after it boots to my os extended and click install that way, says it needs to restart for the setup to work and it never gets past the apple screen. It seems that no startup keyboard commands are working (can't run safe mode or single user mode etc.)
    The mac "extended" is fine for the time being, but I can't install itunes 8.0 or anything using a mpkg extension.
    Please help.

    Never a good idea. Fix it, don't kill it. Unsolved problems have a way of returning.

    Might be a hardware issue?

    You should be able to install Leopard on any qualified machine.

    You need to find out why Leopard will not install. We need more specific data.

    Absolutely not true. There is no difference, spec wise, between the iPhone sold in Japan & the GSM iPhone sold everywhere else. iPhones in Japan use UMTS 2100.

    Really p*ssed off that 10.6.1 which was supposed to fix this has totally borken iTunes for me.
    Time to try to revert to 10.5.3 again.

    If you mean that you have been instructed to contact iTunes support, then will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

    to contact the iTunes Store.
    If that does not answer your question, try posting in your native language, or find a friend with a better command of English to help you ask your question here.

    No it is not.  iPhones, like all cell phones are not locked to countries.  They are locked to carriers.
    Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.  Contact the carrier.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Newbie! Need Help wit choice! Lots of Questions! PLEASE HELP

    Have been a PC user for ever and recently have seen the appeal and performance of macs.
    I am shortly going to college and have been reading hundreds of reviews and discussions on the different portbales available.
    I will be using the portable for
    - word processing
    - internet and email
    - music
    -DVD's
    -light graphics work
    - light video work
    Currently on AMD anthlon XP 2700+ with 1 GB RAM
    I ruled out the 12" ibook as no superdrive and 17" powerbook as too large.
    The ibook seems nice, worried about processor speed, will it cope with graphics and video and fast enough for encoding etc? Also worried about the tightness of the resolution, is the screen good in comparisson to powerbook. Also thought about DVD;s not being in widescreen. Also is the availabe work space enough?
    The powerbook 12" seems nice because of it's compactness. The screen depth seems more than !5" and is that a problem? Is the 12" powerbook which has superdrive got a large enough visible work space?
    The 15" Powerbook seems great, it's got nice screen and same size as old windows laptop (though resolution much higher), have read a lot of problems about very hot powerbooks (how big a problem is this?), i have alsp read about latch issues,(bad?) and is there a serious issue with a gap between the display and keyboard? Also have read lots of issues about the logic board failing and is this really common, as being student don't want to have to fork out vast sums of money and applecare is steep.
    What would you recommend? Could spend up to £2000, would rather not spend it all(sorry don't know wot that is in $'s)
    Just loved the OS and was all set and now am a little anxious as seems quite recurrent problems exist. Please help and offer any ideas, tips, solutions, experiences and anything that helped you chose ur mac!

    I just bought my powerbook after a summer's worth of work, four weeks ago. Other than a few quibbles (mainly things I haven't figured out how to do on the mac, since i'm new to the OS) this 15" is awesome... It's fast, it's small, it has a widescreen, and... THE KEYBOARD LIGHTS UP (jaws drop left and right when the lights go out)...
    It seems very capable, and hasn't failed me yet, knock on wood. The latch works fine and there is no issue with keys touching the screen.
    I was worried about the heat issue too, so I thought ahead and bought a Vantec cooling pad. for $35 on Newegg.com, it has adjustable fan speeds, and a 4 port USB hub, which is VERY handy. It will get warm if i'm using it on my lap, but not enough for the computer's fans to turn on. Besides, I think the heat argument is a little weak. Sure, they may get hot, but we're talking about a high performance, VERY thin aluminum computer... Aluminum transfers heat very easily, so expect it to seem warmer than a PC laptop. Plastic doesn't transfer heat nearly as nicely, but even so, if you touch a pentium 4 based laptop that has been running for a while, it'll be just as warm. And, they're twice as thick, to accomodate the fans to cool that bugger!
    As for the logic board, i think the main issue is memory being bumped out of place, or improperly installed... I'm sure that if some users just took out their memory stick, and carefully tried to reinstall it, they'd work fine... i'm not saying that the memory issue is a fluke, rather I think that some people may see that other people have had logic board failure in the past, and automatically assume that is there problem... Regardless, i've added my own 1gb stick from Crucial, and it works fine.
    The powerbook 15" is an awesome choice... I'm still learning how to use the OS, which is a little scary at first (since i'm used to things being far more complicated (WINDOWS)), but it's very intuitive, a pleasure to use, and a great machine... Goodluck with your decision
