Is anyone familiar with Pro Res data from the Sony F3 and Final Cut 7?

Hi,
Recently I've been using the Sony F3 camera for a short film. I used anamorphic lenses. My problem what I have now is, that I can´t get the aspect ratio in Final Cut 7 right. I only have the option to crop, but that´s not what I need.
The final image is cinemascope.
I´d be happy if someone can refer me to a tutorial or a side where I can sort out my problem. It´s kinda urgend.
Thanks so much.

If you want your sequence to be in a 2.31:1 aspect ratio, create a new sequence and type Command + 0 [zero} to see the sequence settings. Set the frame size to 1920 x 831:
and click OK.
FCP is designed to work best with standard frame sizes, this non-broadcast frame size may cause playback and other issues.
If this were a project I was working on, I would be to edit the video letterboxed in a standard 1920 x1080 frame, and after completing the edit, output a master QuickTime, and take that QuickTime into Compressor and crop it for delivery in the format(s) needed for distribution.

    The problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
    Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
    1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
    2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
    3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
    Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
    Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does.

  • Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version

    Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version which I have now downloaded.

    The trial version is named "Final Cut Pro Trial" and the App Store version is called "Final Cut Pro".
    So, they can both be in the Applications folder at the same time, but only one can be open/launched at a time.
    If, for some reason, your trial is older (like version 10.0.4) that your newly purchased FCPX (should be 10.0.5), and you do not click Update to your events/Projects, they will NOT show in the bought version!
    Open the licensed FCPX and make sure it does update your things, in case it asks for it!

  • How do I continue editing a project from the trial version of final cut pro to the paid version

    I have been working on a project on the trial version of final cut pro x.  I  bought the full version even though my trial wasn't up yet.  When I opened the paid version my projects from the trial are not in there.  I also closed the trial and opening the paid version and my projects were still not there.  How do I get my projects to show in the paid version?

         I have a 'similar' problem, but your advice above does not work (or does not seem to work).  My Trail version of Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 expired before I completed my first/only movie project. 
         I purchased FCP yesterday.  Now I want to "import" the video files and the movie project (not sure if that's the correct terminology - I am still a newbie) into FCP 10.1.1 -  Please advise?

  • Does anyone know if I can upload from a Sonydcr-sr42 to final cut express?

    Does anyone know if I can upload from a Sony DCR-SR42 to final cut express?

    No.
    Your camera records in MPEG-2.
    This format will have to be converted to one of the codecs FCE can use.
    DV, HDV or AIC.
    I's suggest converting using Streamclip from Squared 5 using Quicktime DV.

  • Can I import projects from the full version of Final Cut Pro X from when I was using the trial version?

    So I recently purchased the full edition of Final Cut Pro X, and was wondering why one of the projects I was working on at the time it expired imported back into FCP without asking me, but the other did not.  I really need to use this file, but it is in the format of .fcpproject, so I really don't understand why I am not able to use it.  It sometimes says when I try to open it that the version of that project was made in an updated version of FCP, or something to that affect, so it cannot be used.  I have no idea why it says this, because as far as I know that is un-true.  Any ideas?
    Edit:  I also don't want to delete the trial yet, a little apprehensive, like maybe I need it.  But I might if it comes to that.  I suppose the time did run out so it is practically worth nothing...

    You do not open fcpproject files. You don't double click or anything else. The files have to be in the correct folder structure in the Final Cut Projects folder and the application opens them automatically. Can you post screen shots of the Final Cut Projects folder and its location.

  • Problems with the new MacBookPro and Final Cut???

    Got this from a friend of mine, and wondered if y'all could provide any insights.
    Thanks in advance.

    Begin forwarded message:
    " ...the water walkers are
    discussing the "Steve Givith - Steve Taketh" concerning the new powerbooks.
    Along with the hardware downsides: no Firewire 800; only one USB port; the Superdrive has reduced features from the existing one in the IBM processor version; and no internal modem.
    On the software side - and the reason for this note, the new "Mac Book" cannot run software that is keyed to the CPU of earlier Mac models. That means that where Apple or the vendor keyed the ability of an application
    to run to the G3 or G4 or ALTIVEC engine, that program will no longer
    operate in the new Mac Book. (This true?)
    Bringing that closer to home:
    The current version of Final Cut Studio is not supported on Intel-based
    Mac computers with Rosetta. A Universal version of Final Cut Studio,
    which will run natively on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Mac computers,
    will be available before the end of March 2006. (Will that be backward compatible with the pre Intel Macs?)
    Final Cut Express is Not supported on Intel-based Mac computers with
    Rosetta.
    ==> notice that the "universal version" sentence is not found on the
    Apple website under Final Cut Express.
    Any clues or contacts who can sort this out?"

    From the keynote:
    Universal Binary versions of the Pro software (Final Cut Pro, etc) will be available by the end of March 2006. It will cost $49 for current owners of the most-recent version of Final Cut Studio to get this Universal version.
    Look at this page as well:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/topquestions.html
    "Does Final Cut Studio run on the new Intel-based Mac computers?
    The current version of Final Cut Studio is not supported on Intel-based Mac computers with Rosetta. A Universal version of Final Cut Studio, which will run natively on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Mac computers, will be available before the end of March 2006.
    If I buy Final Cut Studio today, can I get the Universal version when it’s available?
    Yes. All owners of Final Cut Studio can purchase the Universal version for $49."

  • I run Final Cut Express 4.0.1; I shoot with a Sony HDR-CX260V. How do I import from the camera directly to Final Cut, without having to go through the intermediate step of using iMovie?

    I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1; I shoot with a Sony HDR-CX260V.
    How do I import from camera to Final Cut without going through the intermediate step of using iMovie?

    If you shoot in one of the following modes you should be able to Log & Transfer directly into FCE:
    HD:  1920x1080/60i (FX or FH mode)
    HD:  1440x1080/60i (HQ or LP mode)
    SD:  720x480/60i
    1080/60p (PS mode) seems to be the default mode in your camcorder.  FCE only supports progressive video in 720p50 or 720p60.   That's probably why you have had to import via iMovie.
    It would be better to upgrade to Final Cut Pro X, the version currently supported.  FCE was discontinued over 18 months ago and is not supported on Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Query - Get data from the same table and field two times on a single line

    I have prepared a query showing the bill of material. At each line each component will be a new line and I want to have the description of the material at the top (the master material composed of the component ones) and also the description of the component materials on the same line. This means that I should be able to use MAKT table 2 times on a single line of the query. I have used the query tool with SQ01 and SQ02 tcodes. How can I get the the description of the material at the top and also the description of the component material on a single line?
    Thanks in advance for the answers.

    Yasar,
    Any time you wish to use a table twice in an SQ01 query, you have to create an alias.
    SQ02 > select the infoset, 'change' > go to Join definitions.
    Select 'Alias' button.  Create. Select your table name (such as MAKT) and define an alias, such as 'COMP_MAKT' for component descriptions.
    Now you can insert the Alias table into your infoset just like it was a regular table, and use standard join method to join COMP_MAKT to your component material number.
    Best regards,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Anyone managed to import VDY Data from a sony DSR-DU1?

    No data found, alltough the disk is mounted...
    thanks Michel

    Sorry, both wrong, VDU stands for Video Disk Unit, a portable sony harddisk wich records dv data, but with woven audio. output file is .dvd, dragged on the timeline on fcp, it's needs to be rendered. Apple made a solution for this:
    import VDU data, but it sees no drive at all, hence my problem.

  • How to retrieve data from the serial port and decode it each 2 bytes is a long variable and 1 frame is about 6 bytes

    I send the frame by a microcontroller ( 8bits) the fram contains 6 bytes, 2bytes conform a long variable, I want to decode the frame and make operations with these long variables and then plot them

    Hey jpvans,
    I would first suggest using NI-VISA to talk to the serial port. Then, you can use the LabVIEW Type Cast or the Flatten to String and UnFlatten From String VIs to convert the data.
    You can setup the read so that it reads just two characters at a time to form an individual long or you can set the read up to read it all and then use the string functions like String Subset to cut the information into chunks.
    I hope this helps out.

  • Hello!!!I need to read some data from the serial port and processing these, at the same time I want to see the process that I am doing.

    I read the data without problems, and I see them using Waveform graph, the problem is that I want to see the real time stamps, but in the graph appears 2:00:00,000 and 01/01/04, so the date and the time is wrong !!
    Can I change this?
    I am thinking that the problem is that I have to adquire the data and the time stamps ( using Get date/time) and after, I have to represent both!!!
    Thanks!!!

    Hello,
    As you probably know a waveform is made of a beginning time (t0), a time difference between each value (dt) and an array of values (Y). Your problem is probably that you don't initialize t0. Use the Vi 'Waveform->Build a waveform' to initialize the time of the waveform.
    Hope this helps !
