Is quicktime 7.5 compatible with FCP 3.0.4?

Hi,
I'm using Quicktime 6.5.3 on the below computer, running FCP 3.0.4. Recently I've wanted to upgrade my Quicktime to version 7.5 for Panther (10.3.9). Would this Quicktime upgrade cause any problems with FCP 3.0.4?
(I know I'm using old versions, but they work just fine for my purposes.)
If anyone know, thanks very much!
Cheers

DON'T DO IT!
Stick with current QT. FCP3 works best with QT 6.2...should be ok with 6.5 if you're running OS X.3.9 as your specs state. See this list for best combos...

If you need QT 7.5 for other reasons, you might set up a dual boot system. Search this forum for ways to do that.

    Where can I find a list of Camcorders compatible with FCP X?

    I'll modify that first word!

    However, be aware that Apple has neither the time nor the incentive to test every camera on the market, so there will be many more models, old and new, that will work perfectly even though they are not on the database.

  • Are these cameras compatible with FCP?

    Does anyone out there know if any of these cameras is compatible with Final Cut Pro 5/6? It's not listed on the compatibility list, but I have a hard time believing Sony or Panasonic would make any camcorders that are not compatible with FCP these days. I just want to make sure however, before I buy.

    The qualifying devices list is not a good standard to judge by. There are many "devices" that work fine and aren't listed, and conversely, devices that are listed but may not function if the user is also using a certain third-party device; for example, certain listed Canons may indeed work well with FCS2, but attach an external drive to the same FireWire bus and it all goes fubar.

  • Video recorded in QT Pro-compatible with FCP?

    Is a video recorded in QT Pro compatible with FCP?
    I was getting errors earlier today importing QT video clips recorded in QT Pro.
    FCP said "unknown file type" and wouldn't import it.
    I tried different decks, different footage, all to no avail.
    Drag and drop, file>Import, neither worked.
    I never tried this before and was surprised.
    It's not that it needed rendering, it just wouldn't import.
    QT was set to use the native format of the recording device.
    FCP was set to DV NTSC easy set up.
    OS 10.4.7, QT 7.1.2, FCP 5.0.4.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Now this is strange.
    I just downloaded Live Capture Plus to try it out.
    It captures the same tape from the same deck with the same settings as I tried in QT.
    Imports perfectly into FCP 5.1.1 No problems whatsoever.
    Both clips have identical settings in the info pane of QT Pro:
    DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
    29.97
    640 x 480 pixels
    Yet the QT clip will not import into FCP with an "unknown file" error.
    Why?
    Thanks

    The files open fine in QT player.
    640 X 480 was the QT captured frame size, 29.97 fps, and it was captured as "device native" in QT preferences. The source tapes where mini DV/NTSC so its frame size should be 720 X 480.
    If this frame size is the problem, why is QT pro recording a 640 X 480 image when the original is 720 X 480? Also, can't FCP handle a 640 X 480 QT video size anyway?
    I tried different tapes with different decks and kept coming up with the "file not recognized" error when trying to import into FCP.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Cameras compatible with FCP

    Hello everyone. I'm curious to find out if there is a list that apple or FCP puts out that has all the cameras that are compatible with FCP and if it stays current. About a month ago I was at the beach and my home video camera was left unattended, and was drowned by a huge wave. Luckily I didn't take my Sony FX1. (Which is what I originally was going to do) Anyhow, I'm going to go and buy my wife another camera in the $700.00 to $1,000 dollar range and I want to make sure that whatever camera I purchase I can download the footage in FCP 6. Thanks

    Indeed.
    As a filthy Englishman, I do not celebrate this holiday.
    But all the best to you and yours anyway.

  • HT4682 Sony HDR-CX230/B compatible with FCP X

    I see that the HDR-CX230 and HDR-CX230E are listed as compatible.  Is the Is the HDR-CX230/B also compatible?

    The most accurate way to determine whether a camera works with FCP X is to actually try using it with FCP X.
    Download the free 30 day trial of FCP X and find out for yourself
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/trial/
    Note that you will need Mavericks  .  .  .  your info suggests you are still using Snow Leopard.
    P.S.  As the HDR-CX230/B is a bog-standard consumer camcorder it will almost certainly work with FCP X.
    New camcorders are appearing all the time and Apple has neither the time nor the incentive to test them  .  .  .  the list of compatible cameras is essentially a waste of time and should be ignored.

  • Quicktime 7.71 compatible with Premiere Pro CS5?

    I am having issues importing and exporting a clean movie.  It is showing some interlacing through certain scenes and the titles are jumpy both when they are still and during the roll. I currently have Quicktime V 7.6.8 (1675) and am wondering if I need to update this.  However I was hoping to find out if it was compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.  The Adobe site is so heavily weighted to CS5.5 I did not find anything over there.  Here are the specs for the clip.
    Here are the clips properties.
    Quicktime Movie
    Image Size 720 X 486
    Pixel Depth 24
    Frame Rate 29.97
    Average Data Rate 27.2 MB/second
    Average Frame Rate 29.98 FPS
    Uncompressed 10 bit.
    Thanks for the help.

    Dennis,
    I'm also still on CS2, and the old QT 7.3.5 worked fine with it. I resisted the 7.4.x versions, as they were doing a poor job with so many Adobe products. When 7.5.x came out, I waited, until the field reported. All seemed to be fine, so all of my computers got 7.5.5, and all is great. Though I also have iTunes (on the laptop), I have hesitated to allow any upgrades to take place, regardless.
    There are two new threads on the PrE forum, where 7.6.2 broke PrE, and 7.5.5 "fixed" those user's issues. There have been a couple of QT Player issues here too, and they involved 7.6.2. Do not know if Apple is up to 7.6.3, or not.
    Now, I am a firm believer in not trying to "fix," what ain't broke [SIC]. Unless I can directly benefit from a "feature," I am loathe to just go with the "newest." In most cases, this policy has kept me from having to roll-back, in hopes that I can fix some problem from a new and improved version of X.
    Totally OT for this thread, but do you have any insight on the differences in the Functional Content, i.e. Transistions and Effects, between the Mac and the PC versions of CS4? There have been several threads from Mac-users, and so far no one has had anything but sheer speculation. I don't know if you've seen any of those threads, but if you have any ideas, I'm sure that many Mac-users could benefit from those. [Sorry to go so OT.]
    Thanks,

  • Latest quicktime update not compatible with Serato Scratch Live program

    I'm a DJ/VJ that uses the serato program which uses quicktime to run the videos. The latest update with quicktime has totally screwed up the video program and is no longer compatible with it. I can't open itunes anymore and have to use an older version of quicktime. Anything older than 7.5 works... will there be an update to fix this issue???

    You could send a bug report through to Apple. (We're a user-to-user troubleshooting forum, so there's no guarantee that someone from Apple will see your post here.) The "Technical comments" feedback type on the QuickTime feedback form would probably do the trick:

  • M-Audio FireWire Solo - appropriate for what I need? Compatible with FCP?

    Hey all:
    I'm shooting a video short next week with a DVX100. Eventually I'll need to do some voice over work in my... "studio." I have mics but need a preamp. The M-Audio Firewire Solo fits the budget comfortably. My minimum requirements are one XLR input and Phantom Power, which it has.
    I'm just wondering if anyone has advice against the decision. I have very little experience with audio interfaces. Anything I should be watching out for? Any other suggestions? My budget tops out at $400US or so, but I don't want to overdo it, either. I'm not looking for something that will perform things I may need in the future, I just need a quality, compatible, reliable preamp.
    Thanks in advance, everyone.
    Michael

    I teach in a school that uses Tapco Mix60 mixers (http://www.tapcoworld.com, approx $60) with FCP with great success. So much so, I bought one for use at home with my rig.
    True, the whole path is analog. But using the speaker/microphone jacks on the back of a G5 work well. So far with about 30 students using the systems we have had no problems. Just buy some Hosa cables (Mini to 1/4” Phone Stereo Breakout) from your favorite supplier to connect the Mac to the mixer. Add a microphone and you are all set.
    As a side note, I generally use Soundtrack Pro to record voice overs. It seems a little easier and I have access tools to make me, or talent, sound better.

  • Is Mt. Lion (10.8) OS compatible with FCP 7 and other FCP Studio 3 apps?

    I am currently running Lion (10.7.5) on a 27" iMac 3.4 Ghz.
    Is Mt. Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 7 and FCS 3 studio apps like Compressor 3.5, Color and DVDSP4? Will these programs still run or will they be not supported by the new OS as has been the case with past apps when a new OS is introduced?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Greetings Phil;
    Glad to hear that the transition has gone well and that you're enjoying the new OS features!  I have FCP X on all of the machines in my edit bay, but at this point I work exclusively with Final Cut Studio. 
    When FCP X was launched, in it's initial form it simple didn't work with the my workflow and the amount of work that I have to deal with on a daily basis.  Also there was(for me a least) a BIG learning curve in order to make the transitiion.  It was time that I didn't have...and still don't!  Also I'm sort of an "old dog" in this game and learning the new system hasn't been a priority for me. 
    I would encourage you to move forward with it.  I know that Apple has made huge improvements in the software since it's initial release. 
    I wish you the best in you work...

  • Is nVidia GeForce4 compatible with FCP 5?

    Hi, I have a Quicksilver G4 (dual 1 Ghz) with a 64 Mb nVidia GeForce4. That's all the "About this Mac" tells me for the AGP slot. I'm not sure if it's a MX, and if so, whether it's the 420, 440, or 460.
    I am wondering whether it is compatible with either FCP 5, or FC Express. I'll be editing standard-definition video only. The Apple site only says that it must be compatible with "Quartz Extreme."
    If it is compatible, are there FCP processes which would benefit from upgrading it to an nVidia 6600 or 7800, or ATI Radeon 9800? I won't be doing any 3D gaming, only video-editing to the 23" LCD.
    Thanks for your kind advice!

    " FCP offloads out work for the graphics card to do (eg rendering etc)"
    This is completely incorrect
    FCP does not use GPU (graphics processor) acceleration, it uses CPU processing only
    Motion in comparison does use GPU acceleration:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/finalcutstudio/motion/
    The only way to get better performance from FCP is to use a better processor than the one you are using.
    I replaced the elementary OEM graphics card supplied with the G5 with an Nvidia 6800 card. There is no difference in any respect when using final cut pro between the two cards.
    It works great with motion however.

  • Video screen Capturing compatible with FCP!!!

    Hello,
    I recently captured a lot of footage using Snapz Pro X to create a tutorial for a website. After importing it into FCP, it wants to render everything, all the time, for every small change. These render take hours and hours for the smallest change. What should I do? The Snapz Pro X quicktime files are not FCP compatible. Is there a new program to get high quality video screen captures or a way to convert the files I have now? Any help would be extremely great.
    Thanks
    Erik

    In iShowU I am recording at 1440x1080 30p, and capture area is same as video. Then I am importing the quicktime files into FCP. The sequence settings are Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 60i. Capture Preset is HDV -Apple ProRes 422. The sequence settings are Frame Size 1440x1080 as well as aspect ratio. Something somewhere is off and its driving me mad. haha
    Thanks

  • Is a .VOB video format compatible with FCP

    I have been sent a DVD with .VOB format which I have imported into FCP, but there is no sound.
    Is this non compatible, or have I done something wrong?

    when you use "open" "video TS" and select a VOB file in your DVD --pick up any one- , the program should ask whether you want to open all files ?
    Do you get this message ?
    if yes your DVD is probably not protected.
    If you use DVDxdv, and your disk is protected, you should see green squares on the screen when you open files and get weired sound.
