Is there a new version of Final Cut Express?

This is probably a dumb question but I see the announcement of Final Cut Studio 2, does this mean that there is an update or will be an update to Final Cut Express?
Thanks,
Jim

There is no update for FCE at this time. Whether or when there will be is speculation and not something we can talk about on the forum.

  • I am having issues with new version of Final Cut Pro, is there away to download the last version so I can finish my projects?

    I am having major issues with the new version of Final Cut x, I have missing clips and my computer is locking up, I need to finish some projects so is there away to go back to the last version before the new update?

    Not unless you have saved a copy of the previous version; also, any libraries that you have updated to use in the newer version will not be usable in the older version anyway.
    Rather than going back you should try and figure out what is wrong. The current version works great for most users. Start by clearing your preferences: hold down command and option keys while starting FCP X, and confirm when asked. Many different issues can often be solved by just that.
    In case it doesn't solve, please provide more detailed information like OS version, Ram, drive and connection, etc

  • How do I export my video in 500x500 resolution? I know there's a feature in Final Cut Express that allows me to make custom dimensions when I export but I can't find the same in FCPX

    How do I export my video in 500x500 resolution? I know there's a feature in Final Cut Express that allows me to make custom dimensions when I export but I can't find the same in FCPX.

    Tom is right, BUT! ...the newest version of Compressor (41.) allows you to do just THAT! ...to export custom sizes.
    It's easy. And... once you set it up, you can export DIRECTLY from FCPX, provided you've saved / added this scheme as a "destination" in the FCPX app.

  • New user of Final Cut Express - recommendation for book, resource, training

    I am a new user of Final Cut Express 4. Actually, I'm a new user of Mac too. I mastered Pinnacle on my PC but got fed up with the glitches, freezing etc.
    Could use some advice on a good BEGINNER resource.
    Anyone???

    Hi and welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Since FCE has a relatively steep learning curve, I would recommend getting one of two training books:
    1. [Final Cut Express 4 Editing Workshop|http://www.amazon.com/Final-Cut-Express-Editing-Workshop/dp/0240810775 /ref=sr12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240436986&sr=8-2] by Tom Wolsky. This is how I learned the program and I can assure you that it is a comprehensive guide with everything from basic to more advanced techniques. I highly recommend it. Tom is a frequent contributor to this forum, so if you had any questions about a lesson then he'd be here to help you out.
    2. [Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Express 4|http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Pro-Training-Final-Express/dp/0321534670/ref=sr14?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240437118&sr=8-4] by Diana Weynand. Though I can't vouch for it personally, I have heard from many people who were pleased with their experience learning from this book, and I'm sure it is quite good also.
    There are also several good sites I've visited with free tutorials that you might like to check out:

  • When will the Universal Binary version of Final Cut Express HD be available

  • Dropped frames on Brand New Macbook and Final Cut Express!

    I have recently bought a New Macbook, and installed Final Cut Express HD 3.5 on it. I have Quicktime Player 7.3. My Macbook is a 2GHz Intel Core Duo processor. Memory is 1GB 667 Mhz. I have already used up a lot of Hard Drive on my Laptop with other applications, and in my capture window it says that I have 24.5GB space (109 minutes). Could this be the problem - not enough space?
    I have looked over past discussions on this and in some cases I see that a downgrade to the old version of Quicktime has been necessary. As I have a new Macbook and new Final Cut Express HD, could this still be the case?
    Also I have been reading the manuals, and wonder if the frame rate or time code settings could be affecting the dropped frames? Does anyone know where I can check this?
    I'm a total newbie to FCE so be gentle....
    Appreciate all advice

    You are quite frankly, a genius. I have just managed to capture my footage after a gruelling few days of trying just about anything. Your recommendations regarding settings and also the external hard drive have fixed my problem.
    I'm going to have a large glass of wine now to celebrate my victory - and then I'm going to try and figure out how you actually use FCE after that.... er hem... now where did I put that manual..?
    Thanks loads

  • When does the next version of Final Cut Express come out?

    I'm just trying to decide on purchasing the upgrade now or waiting. I don't want to pay for 3.5 HD now and a month from now have to pay it again.
    Does anyone know the release date of the next version or will 3.5 HD be here for a while?
    Thanks

    It's against the terms to ask if someone knows of a news story or what have you if there is a new version coming? That's ridiculous. Granted I didn't say "news story" in my initial post, but I'm certainly not asking for insider trading secrets or asking someone at Apple to tell me secret info not readily available to the public. I'm just asking if there is a public blurb from somewhere, Apple would be best, if a new version was on the horizon. That's not against any rules. I searched and could not find anything, so I was hoping someone else knew.
    The terms say
    "Speculations or rumors about unannounced products."
    I guess there are no official noticed out there, which is all I was asking.

  • Next Version of Final Cut Studio?

    I have heard recently about a new version of Final Cut Pro coming out this spring or summer, and am wondering if there is any information about an upgrade for Final Cut Studio as a whole.

  • Big Difference in Final Cut Express Versions????

    I still own Final Cut Express 2.02 (2004) but never really was able to master it, and went back to iMovie for my editing.
    Now, I'm thinking about making the jump again, but am curious how different Final Cut Express HD or Final Cut Express 4.0 is from the version that I own. (Which by the way doesn't even work on my iMac because it says I don't have a APG Graphics card).
    I guess that's a long way of asking your opinion if the newer versions are better and/or any easier or more user friendly than Final Cut Express 2.0. Also curious what the learning curve is. I really struggled on the 2.0 version.

    Hello Todd,
    The user interface and all of the basic functions including editing, filters, exporting are the same in the later versions of Final Cut Express.
    Later versions than 2.02 added more filters & features including support for HD video (HDV & AVCHD). The one major deletion was SoundTrack was removed from the FCE package when FCE4 was released.
    Beyond features, one of the main considerations is what versions of OSX and QuickTime you are running. With Leopard, you should really be on FCE 4. Since you already have v2.02 you can purchase the upgrade to FCE4 ($99) instead of another copy of the full program.
    With regard to learning FCE, you should get a copy of Tom Wolsky's book Final Cut Express Editing Workshop and his tutorial DVD Final Cut Express Made Easy. They are excellent materials for learning how to use FCE quickly. The book also includes a DVD with sample clips that go with the examples in the book; and he explains the differences between iMovie and FCE, which can be very helpful for someone making that transition.

  • Update final cut express from version 1.0.0

    Are there any updates available for final cut express 1.0.0? Downloadable? Whats the most current version?
    iMac G4 (snowcone)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    Message was edited by: donkilometron

    Last update (years ago) was 1.0.1 - I can't imagine that it is a dramatic improvement!
    Your best bet would be to buy the FCE 3.5 upgrade for $99.
    The program itself is considerably superior but the inclusion of LiveType and Soundtrack is quite mind-blowing.
    Those 2 extra programs are alone worth the upgrade price.

  • Final Cut Express 4 demo version?

    Hello,
    there used to be a demo version of Final Cut Express 3 - valid for 30 days with full funtionality. Is there a similar demo version of FCE 4, so that I could get started using FCE 4? Or is there a possibility to download FCE 4 (upgrade from FCE HD, and it should be legal, of course) after buying it via credit card and getting the box later?
    Thanks,
    Dirk

    Sorry, didn't think of searching the forum. It looks like there is no demo version available. And the download versions seem to be illegal...

  • Are there bugs between final cut express 2, and imovie?

    i dont have the HD version of final cut express, just the original version. i imported some footage and exported as a H.264 high quality video, then put that to idvd...the final burned version looked like soo bad, it was like the horizonal lines of the video were blurred and studdering. i don't know. so i exported a full quality video and took it to imovie HD6 to do the H.264 compression, then took that to idvd and did a "best quality" burn and then the final output on the tv....looked like some frames were being skipped.....what the heck? Is this just a bug between final cut express 2.0 and idvd? maybe i should try capturing in imovie and sending that to idvd.....BUT I ALREADY EDITED IT! AHHHHHH

    well i'm trying to save space on my HD, so i export to a H.264 file to keep on my drive, and when i need to make dvd's, i just compress the H.264 file, and it still looks awesome on a tv......it has worked a while ago, but all of a sudden it's giving me issues. i've tried every way
    RAW to H.264 to imovie to idvd best quality to dvd....BAD
    RAW to RAW to imovie to idvd best performance to dvd...BAD
    RAW to H.264 to idvd best quality to dvd...BAD
    RAW to imovie to H.264 to imovie to idvd to dvd...BAD

  • LiveType and Final Cut Express 4.0

    I have used Final Cut Express since the beginning. I updated to 3 then to 4. Now I just recently gotten a new intel iMac. I used the quick and easy method to transfer my old computer onto my new one. When I went to try to use LiveType, it wanted a serial number. I put in my version 3 serial number. It's the only one I have because the first version I got of Final Cut Express was preinstalled on my computer. I don't have any install CD's for the first version. The problem is LiveType will not recognize these numbers. Any suggestions? It doesn't seem possible that they will make me buy a whole new version of Final Cut just to get LiveType to work. HELP!

    The bad news is that if you only have Upgrade versions of FCE and do not have an Original Full Retail version there is nothing you can do.
    You must have a Full Retail serial number.
    If you had it registered, you could contact Apple, but I wouldn't hold out much hope.
    Incidentally, there is no +"quick and easy"+ way to transfer FCE. You have to install from the DVD or a .dmg.
