I want to use my macBook Pro 2,2 (mid 2007) to display video being fed from a Canon 5D video out into the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3.  Is it possible to input live video from another digital camera into the MacBookPro

I know that the built in iSight camera records video.  I want to set up a Canon 5D video camera and feed the Canon's video output into the MacBook Pro so that I can use the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro to adjust the exposure of the Canon 5D.  Basically I don't want to buy a vectorscope to have on set to make sure the picture is properly exposed and color balance is correct. (In your response it doesn't have to be the full scenario I've described.  If you can just tell me if there's a way to feed live video into the MacBook and display it on the screen and possibly record it, then I'll figure out the rest.)

Dear Ben,
Thanks for your help. Apple and I dealt with this. It was an FCP, NOT Motion problem. As It seems you understand, we simply trashed my FCP prefs. Problem went right away.
Thanks. Do you live near Hammond? Played in a rugby tournment down there once. I was transformed.

  • FCPX: In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?

    In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?
    An example: In Premiere Pro, the whole video is added to the timeline identified as used in their video library. Facilitating our work on a big project, not to repeat videos. You can do this in FCPX?

    The way it works in FCP:
    Working from the Timeline Index, you can see lists of all clips in the sequence and their location in the timeline.
    You can also do a search (kevn) to narrow the results.

    I keep getting this message when I try to open FCP X.  "The storage location 'brianmassman1' on this computer is already in use by 'brianmassman1' on 'Brian-Massmans-Computer-7".  To access the location, quite Final Cut Pro on 'Brian-Massmans-Computer-7' or remove the location."
    I have no idea what this means.  Particularly the part about "Brian-Massmans-Computer-7."  I don't even know what computer that is. 
    I'm guessing it could have something to do with the fact that I've still got FCP 5 installed.  But it's not running.

    Try repairing permission in the Disk Utility and rebooting,

  • When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message

    When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message and the export quits. Any ideas on a fix?

    Also, if I remember correctly, Final Cut Pro HD was version 4.5. Is this what you are running?
    If so, what version of OSX and Quicktime are you running?

  • I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro. There are two clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. It is extremely frustrating, can anyone help?

    I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro X. There are two separate clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening - any thoughts/help?

    The two HD clips were purchased from itunes (MPEG - 4) and converted to .mov for use in Final Cut Pro. Project properties - 720p HD 1280x720 (60p)
    Is this enough information?

  • Canon EOS Movie Plugin-E1 not recognized in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7

    Canon EOS Movie Plugin-E1 not recognized in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7
    I just installed the new version of final cut pro 10 and the canon plugin-E1 version 1.4 for the canon 5D mk III but after starting final cut pro I can not find the Log and transfer button., with the result I cannot import my files.
    Is there a solution for this problem.

    There is no L&T function in FCPX.
    The import media dialogue window does what you want.
    OS versions later than 10.6 should be fine importing Canon DSLRs.

    IIs there an export function from Lightroom? Did you export? Does the exported file contain your edit?
    THe hard drive file size doesn't matter. What matters is the image size, it's dimensions in pixels.
    IN FCP press Cmd-J to see the project properties.

  • Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes.

    Every time I drag a clip into the events library Final Cut Pro X crashes.  The import appears to have occured successfully despite the crash as it is in the folder when I reopen FCPX.  But having to restart the program every time I import is annoying and suggests the program is deficient.  The only imports I have tried so far are from iMovie, its sister program.

    Have you tried dumping the preferences file, always my first item when issues arise in the FC family. Second, have you tried different file types? It could be a file issue, FCX not recognizing it (letting you import, but throwing up afterwards).

  • The Apple Mac Store is re-downloading and reinstalling the update called "Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content" literally everyday.

    My problem:  The Apple Mac Store is re-downloading and reinstalling the update called "Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content" literally everyday.  I have a Mac Pro with Mavericks and Final Cut Pro X 10.1 installed.  It seems to complete the update to the best of my knowledge.  It shows it to be Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content 1.0.  Is there a later version (a 2.0?)?  It seems it started when Mavericks updated.  Anyone else have this issue or know a solution to get it to update once and for all?

    hahah yeah i quit torrenting i have nothing but legit apps now.
    hope apple heard that!!!!
    your post fixed my issue
    but it did take more than deleting torrented apps, once your run a program with a MASReciept with someone elses Apple ID. that other ID is saved in all apps you got off of app store.
    You have to delete all apps that contain the MASReciept (the terminal command tells you which ones) then quit appstore then reboot download all apps again.
    it taught me to just buy my apps..

  • PLZ  HOW I CAN T  USE THE COMPRESSOR AFTER FINAL CUT PRO X  WHY???????

    HOW I CAN EXPORT MY VIDEO FROM FINAL CUT PRO X TO COMPRESSOR TO YOUTUBE???

    You don't need to use Compressor. In FCP, Share>You Tube and then choose the quality setting you want.
    Alternatively you can use Compressor to give you more control over your settings. If so, choose Share and either  export a master file and bring that into Compressor…or SHare>Add Destination>Compressor settings.
    Good luck.

  • HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

    When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

    Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
    If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
    If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
    Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
    If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
    Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

  • HT5148 Will the upgrade to Final Cut Pro X, promised on release of Mac Pro, be free to upgrade?

    If I buy Final Cut Pro X now, will the new version, promised when the Mac Pro is released, be free to upgrade? 
    Having bought Logic Pro 9 last year and now having to upgrade to Logic Pro X at full cost, I don't want to make the mistake of paying for Final Cut Pro X now and then having to pay full for it again when new version is released.
