I want to capture from my Panasonic HVX200 into Final Cut!

...specifically, I want to be able to man my HVX200, which is connected to the publishing station via firewire, and capture it into FinalCut real-time creating a new file every time I start and stop recording. I'm not having any problems capturing into FinalCut when I control the camera from the PC, I just can't get Final Cut to create new files when I'm controlling from the camera.

Final Cut Pro does not segment long captures into individual clips when the source is DV.
You have at least three options:
• read up on Start/Stop detect + Subcliping
• individually log then batch capture the tape
• invest in a program like "live capture plus" from Squarebox. It will take a DV tape and segment it into individual clips based on start/stop information.
Good luck.

  • I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.

    Like the title says...
    I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.
    I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut.  I have had no luck.
    I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
    I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible.  I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
    However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
    Thank You for the Help

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • SH inputting on Panasonic GH1 into Final Cut Express

    Hi
    I have just bought a Panasonic GH1 and I am struggling to import (Log and Transfer) clips which have been filmed in "SH" mode, which is 720p format (50fps). The clips are AVCHD. When I film in "FHD" mode, which is 1080p it imports these fine, with no issue at all?
    I have altered the setting in the Easy Set up menu, but every time I try and drag the clips in, Final Cut Express crashes?
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
    Any direction or support is much appreciated.
    Many thanks, Martin

    FCE4 does not support 720/50p, only 25/30p ..
    according to Panas press release your device offers 1080 as 50i/60i not p ...
    FCE4 supports 1080/50/60/i

  • Unable to capture from the Panasonic AJ-HD1400 deck into Final Cut

    I am working on a project where I need to use the Panasonic AJ-HD1400 deck and import 720p footage from the Vericam into final cut. I am able to connect to the deck via firewire but when I playback footage or try to capture I get a black screen and error message saying that FCP isn't getting a video signal.
    I have tried multiple capture and sequence settings, none of which have worked. The one I have read that I am suppose to use is the easy set up for DVCPRO HD 720p24.
    The footage is shot from the Panasonic Vericam which shoots at 60 fps. The footage has been flagged both 24p and 60p during different takes. - Which I have read you are suppose to convert using the DVC PRO HD Frame Rate Converter after it has been imported.
    Anyone out there know how to solve this issue,

  • Panasonic GH2 and Final Cut Express?

    Does anyone have any experience in importing into Final Cut Express with a Panasonic GH2? I have about $1000 to spend on a new camera for work and the camera was recommended to me but not by someone who uses FCE. I have been using a Canon Vixia SR 20 smoothly with FCE, but now have a chance to purchase a new camera for video.
    I am also wondering if it is a good choice should I eventually move to Final Cut Pro X. I have seen some of the forum talk about this camera and some issues it has with FCP X, but right now am looking to find someone who has used it successfully with FCE. Or a simillarly powerful camera recommendation in that range with a proven FCE track record also welcome. Thanks!
    Douglas

    I use the same camera and it works for me. Make sure you are using the log and transfer function, in FCE, and not the log and capture. I am not sure what other advice to give other than to confirm FCE4 and the SD5 do play nice together, at least for me. I will say I have only used the SD card media with it so if your using a disc maybe it may be a different story -- I don't know.
    Edit: Sorry I misspoke my camera is the SX5 -- from everything I understand and have read, however, it is functionally identical to the SD5. The difference being the SD5 only works with SD cards where this one has the option to record to mini DVDs.

  • I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

  • Best way to export from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, working in DV?

    I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5, and I would like to get the best quality from anything I bring in from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, I keep hearing use the Animation codec. I would like to hear from the Panel of experts.
    Happy Thanksgiving,
    Sebastian

    The Best way is to round-trip from FCP. Or simply import the .motn file directly into FCP. If you require an alpha channel and for some reason don't want to bring the .motn file in, Animation with millions+ for the colors (+ is the alpha channel) will work, But if you just want straight DV, you should export a DV file.

  • Can I capture and record live feed on "Final Cut Pro X"?

    I am an intern at my church and we are wanting to finish upgrading everything to mac at the church but we are needing a program that can capture live feed and later edit it so that I can create TV programs; hence, why I am needing to know can Final Cut Pro X capture live feed and record it? Along with that I need to know can I import avi. video files into Final Cut Pro X and it still allow me to edit them for our TV program? Thank you ahead of time for all of your help. Right now we are capturing in SD and I need to make sure it will also not be a problem capturing in SD and will make a smooth transition when we go to HD.

    See here:
    Re: import live video hvr v1e
    The above discusses HDV over firewire which is high def,  DV will be the same  deal.
    So it depends on what type of camera you are going to use.
    If you jump to an AVCHD USB cam the game changes.
    So far I'm not aware of a direct import method.
    There are workarounds with additional equipment at present.

  • How do i export a single jpeg frame from a video file in final cut x

    how do i export a single jpeg frame from a video file in final cut x

    You can also use the 3 finger method of COMMAND+SHIFT+4, then drag across what you want to copy from the image. That will show up on your desktop, which then you can edit using Photoshop, if you want too.
    You can then change the file format from a PNG to either a .JPG or TIFF or even a Photoshop image.
    Make sure, you have stopped the playback, to what you want to save as a still.
    Either method works, to make a still image from video.

    Luis,
    Just to clarify one point…in order for Streamclip to convert the MTS I believe a plug-in like the AVCCAM QuickTime importer from Panasonic needs to be installed. (Credit David McClain over at the FCS boards for that info.)

  • Can you import video from dvcam using a dsr 2000 into final cut pro 10?

    Can you bring video from a DVCam tape using a DSR 2000 into Final Cut Pro?

    Should work OK with the iLink (a.k.a. Firewire a.k.a. IEE1394a) interface, but you may have to capture using iMovie, then ( in FCX) running File > Import > iMovie Events.)

  • Panasonic SDR-H250 + Final Cut Express 4

    Can I bypass iMove 08 and import straight into Final Cut Express 4? I have MacBook pro 17 arrive this morning and tried to download from my Panasonic SDR-H250. I feel like a ** fool as it is my first camcorder. I am not sure how to go about with this please advise me. I know that my friend suggested Final Cut Express 4.

    What???!!!! I'm not saying anything like that. In fact every single HD camera is different. There are now dozens of different HD formats and specs.
    All the consumer cameras compress HD to record it.
    "is there no difference in choosing camera's compatible with FCE or iMovie?"
    I don't know what these means. If you're going to be working with FCE, you're probably better off getting a camera that's compatible with it. The SD5 I know works at 1440x1080. I understand the SD9 made changes to the way the material is recorded and is not compatible with Final Cut. I may be wrong about that but I thought I saw an Apple white paper about it.

  • Panasonic HMC150 and Final cut Pro Problems

    I have been shooting with a Panasonic HMC150 HD camera for a few months right now. As far as I can tell - final cut Pro can't handle the footage well. I find that hard to believe so I assume that I am doing something wrong! I "Log & Transfer" the footage as Pro Res. I bring my footage into Final cut. I'll open a Sequence - Drag & Drop a clips into the timeline and let final Cut choose the Sequence settings for me. I generally shoot at the 720p setting. For the most part I can Scrub, use the razor blade tool, trim etc., but eventually Final Cut will just crash and disappear, or I'll be working and get the spinning Beach Ball. I also have installed Jon Chappell's Digital Rebellion tools - one of the tools is a "Crash Analyzer." Some of the errors are: "Graphics Card," "Final cut was overloaded" "Plugin" several different things.
    My graphics card is: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT...Is it too small or something?
    I generally output DV/NTSC 48kz. Alot of my stuff goes to the local cable company and they don't have HD for the local stuff. So, once I get my HD footage trimmed - I start dropping the clips into the DV/NTSC sequence and start trimming, moving, scrubbing again to get things to edit in perfectly. this is when the really bad crashing starts! Not only does it crash frequently - Final Cut doesn't always save properly either!
    So, not sure how to fix this...Mare RAM? Different Graphics Card? Anyone?

    Great camera.

    In general, incorrect. Probably something in your system or workflow. Let's figure it out.
    I "Log & Transfer" the footage as Pro Res.
    Good. Where is your Capture scratch set to?
    let final Cut choose the Sequence settings for me.
    Good. This assures that the sequence settings match your footage.
    I generally shoot at the 720p setting.
    Should work just fine.
    or I'll be working and get the spinning Beach Ball.
    Generally a sign you need more RAM. How much is installed?
    I also have installed Jon Chappell's Digital Rebellion tools - one of the tools is a "Crash Analyzer." Some of the errors are: "Graphics Card," "Final cut was overloaded" "Plugin" several different things.
    Graphics card, yeah, you could stand to upgrade, but let's try other things first.
    Plugin. Do you have any 3rd party plugins installed, or are they all the stock plugins that come with FCP?
    So, once I get my HD footage trimmed - I start dropping the clips into the DV/NTSC sequence
    Don't do this. Do your edit completely in the sequence that you've let FCP create for you. When you export, use Compressor to downconvert your final product to DV.

  • My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. ???

    My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. How do I get it too recover it without paying for it again since I paid for it already and have projects in progress that need to be completed?

    1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
    2)  Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
    a)  Pacifist:  http://www.charlessoft.com/
    b)  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:  http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
    Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function.  FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.
