Keynote and/or Powerpoint content in Final Cut Pro

Hope this is not a stupid question but if it is please excuse me, I'm rather new to FCP.
My colleague wants to produce some webcasts of his business presentations.
Normally he uses Powerpoint to illustrate his talks.
Is it possible to somehow take these visuals and incorporate them into the webcasts?
The idea is to show him speaking and have the graphics appearing in the background and/or alongside him.
I'm prepared for the idea of shooting him on a green screen to produce a matte.
(any tutorials on green screen and FCP7 out there ???)
My main concern though is how I can get from Powerpoint / Keynote to a format that is readable by FCP7.
Help and suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks

You're kind of going in an odd little circle. You really need to be looking as producing your webinar, rather than dealing with FCP. There's plenty of ways to incorporate a PP or Keynote presentation into a webinar. That's what most of the webinar sites or software do. They'll also let you incorporate live video streams. Do a live composite (green screen) is something separate. You'd deal with FCP and graphics as a different issue, and only if you were rolling in a precut video stream. And yes, you can export graphics from Keynote, though I don't remember about PP, I've stayed away from it for the past couple of years. But you'd want to make sure those slide pages were setup for your video frame, and generally they're not, at least not to begin with.

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..

VIDEO_TS content into Final Cut Pro HD?

Is there a way I can get content from a DVD's VIDEO_TS folder into Final Cut Pro HD?
I gave some footage to a person for editing purposes and I'm not very satisfied with the results. The image quality isn't the greatest and I'd like to add some effects to the video by importing the content into Final Cut Pro.
I would then like to re-encode the video with Compressor's High Quality Encode option with the hopes of improving the video's quality.
Is this possible and can someone please guide me on how to accomplish this task.
Thanks in Advance

If you're saying that you gave someone video footage (DV perhaps) they cut it and gave you a DVD, you're not going to get better quality by taking that DVD footage into FCP. You'll be compressing something that's already been compressed once and it's going to get worse everytime you do it.
You would be far better off getting the original footage and perhaps the project file that the editor created and recutting that way. Or even better, get the editor to make the changes you want and, if there were compression problems, do it again using better settings.
That being said, you can do what you want but you'll have to use software to demux the files... Mac the Ripper, etc. Do a search here for more info.

I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine, can I change the Vieodcard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible?

I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine. Can I change the present Videocard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible? I have upgraded the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

The GPU in a iMac is NOT upgradeable.
You should check to see if your model of iMac meets the minimum specs to run FCPX.
I believe that your GPU is NOT OpenCL capable, and hence not supported.
Even if it works, you would probably get marginal performance.
What you can do is download the trial version and see how (and if) it works.

Software Updates Missing and File Not opening in Final Cut Pro

Hi Experts,
I am having trouble with Final Cut Pro. Here goes:-
I tried to load up a FCP file called "Overview" in Lesson One of the Apple Pro Training Series book called "Color". The file would not open and I got the following message alert in FCP:
"File's format is too new for this version of the application".
I am running FCP 6.0.1 and so went to check for software updates. I could not find any listed for FCP. I did a quick internet search to make sure and found there were indeed updates to 6.0.1.
So I guess I have 2 problems:
1. Why won't a file from a book that was published before I bought FCP work on my app?
2. Why can't I see updates for FCP in the Software Update application?
I am mega stuck with this. I have read of similar problems to mine on the internet but have found no solution. I hope that you will be able to help me out.
Thank you all,
Bob

Hi Nick!
Thanks for your reply. I feel kinda silly now but I have been continuously checking Software Update for 24hrs and I just got a new addition to the list which was called "Pro Applications Update 2008-05".
Seeing something new, I installed it and it upgraded my Final Cut Applications including FCP to version 6.0.5.
The file then opened.
I am truly sorry to have taken your time up. As when I posted last time Nick, you were very prompt and helpful.
All the best,
This problem is solved for me and I hope all the other people having this problem find this update as luckily as I just did.

How do i get a copy of IDVD and will it work with final cut pro x.

I have a new powerbook. I've purchased final cut pro x because express is no longer available. My Mac didn't come with iDVD and I can't find a suitable dvd authoring tool. Please... some suggestions for DVD authoring or how to get a copy of iDVD and will it even work with FCPx.

Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes for iDVD.)
408-996-1010
800-692-7753
If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

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.

HT1338 I HAVE INSTALLED MORE MEMORY IE FROM 4GB TO 16GB AND I HAVE LOST MY FINAL CUT PRO X AND OTHER PROGRAMES HOW CAN I DOWN LOAD THEM AGAIN

I HAVE INSTALLED MORE MEMORY ON MY iMAC IE FROM 4GB TO 16GB BUT I HAVE LOST ALL MY FINAL CUT PRO X EDITING SOFTWERE ECT HOW DO I RE-INSTAL IT ALL

Hi John,
No reason that should happen!???
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, or are running 10.7+, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there.

HT5958 Existing projects will not update and are not available for Final Cut Pro 10.1.1?

I have updated to Final Cut 10.1.1 but existing projects from previous version will not update and are not available. Have tried to re-install Final Cut as well as bring the projects to another computer which has the update, but they still will not update. Has anyone else encountered this problem and is there anyone who can assist?

In the Finder take a look at the path where your old projects and events are stored. They should be in Final Cut Projects and Final Cut Events folders respectively. Those folders need to be in Users/user/Movies on the boot drive and/or at the root level of other drives for FCPX to see them.
If that's indeed the case, then you should be able to get them updated ny using the Update Projects and Events command form the File menu and then clicking on Locate.

Is there any way to convert video files and keep my project in Final Cut Pro 7?

I am currently editing a project, and have been having multiple issues with freezing while editing. Upon doing some quick research, I learned it is bcause my clips are in the h.264 format, which is not a good editing codec. Is there any way to change the codec of the videos and keep the project I have?

You might need to relink the timeline to the new media. Just take the H.264 files offline, and reconnect to the new media. If you media managed the sequence, it'd relink. But then you are only converting the files used in the sequence, not all your media.

How do I get rid of audio pops and clicks between clips in Final Cut Pro X?

Is there a layman, non-professional way to do this? These are just video files... i don't know anything about formats of different files and all that, but i read in other posts that the files should be "uncompressed 48k something something", but i dont even know how to convert the audio(From video) that's already on my timeline to this format

Your clicks probably are related to the fact that you are using the whole clip, leaving no "handles". Handles are extra portions of a clip, before and after the portion you use in your timeline.
The clicks are probably caused by the camera. You are using whole clips (that is why you get the warning when trying Cmd-T, "there is no extra media..."), so you are starting and ending right where the camera did.
If possible, trim a little bit at the end and start of each clip. Select just the edge of the clip (not the whole clip) and drag a little bit to shorten it. Just a few frames might be enough.
For the future, you should remember to let the camera capture a little more than you will actually use - so that you can have those "handles". See the picture.

Can you drag and drop MTS files into Final Cut Pro X 10.0.6?

Just a simple question.. If not and i have to import, Ill just go back to After Effects

Go back to After Effects.

There is a fault with the app store, and I can't download Final Cut Pro X.

I'm having trouble downloading FCPX from the app store, which I need for a project asap! The apple support and express areas don't seem to be functioning properly. Any ideas? Many thanks

What happens when you try?

General error and out of memory with Final Cut Pro 6

I just upgraded to a Mac mini i7. What setting should I use to avoid these errors?

So you were successful in getting FCS 2 apps installed in Mountain Lion?
Are these messages you're getting now or ones that you have gotten in the past using FCP?
Out of memory warnings often caused by still images that are not RGB or trying to use unsupported media.

HT201109 Final Cut Pro 10.1 crashes with Motion 5.1 custom Scrolling text and Graphics titles

Dec 29, 2013 1:33 PM
found out why Final Cut 10.1 won't load my custom titles without crashing. When scrolling text in Motion 5.1 if you ad a graphic to scroll with the text Final Cut 10.1 will crash. If I remove the graphic in Motion and then load it into Final Cut 10.1 it will work.
So Graphics and scrolling do not work. The graphics are .jpg, .png, .tiff, .psd. I don't know how to fix it. Hopefully someone out there does.

Thanks Tom for the advice. I have four external hard disks, all of them formatted with Mac OS Extended Journaled. On all devices (2TB) I have more than half free space. They are connected either with Thunderbolt or USB3 cables. Different manufactures: LaCie, Toshiba, WD and Samsung. I face the same crash problem if I connect a UBS drive 16GB or a any other device to the USB ports including the Sony Video camera connected with a USB1 cable. Same problem on ALL my computers! To work properly, I have to disconnect all USB devices and work only with internal hard disks. I also tried to format the MacbookPro (erasing the partitions with a new installation) but I have the same problem. I really lost hope...
