Leopord and final cut 2 issues

I bought a family pack of Leopord and we are curious as to whether there are any issues with it and some 3'rd party software. My son owns a MacPro Tower and is finishing film school. He is using Final Cut 2 suite which comes bundled with Motion and other programs. Should he wait to load it on his. I know I had issues with my intel 20 in . I got the blue screen of death and had to take it in to load it properly and then I still had issues with login using my original password etc. Are there fixes to these now?

They will need Final Cut 6.02

  • Compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro

    I'm getting ready to edit a project and I was wondering if there are any compatibility issues with Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro. I've never used Express put I assume I would be able to make cuts, simple effects and titles. Is this correct.
    If I transfer project files from one platform to the other will i run into any issues?
    Thanks for all and any help.

    Although they operate in a similar fashion that are not fully compatible. You can open a FCE project in FCP, but once you've edited it in FCP you can't go back to FCE.

  • Final Cut Pro issues in Lab environment

    Ok so this one has me completely buggered.
    I manage about 6 Mac Pros in a small TV Studio/Editing lab at a university. The Mac Pros are managed with an Xserve running server 10.6.2, using Open Directory for account management. All network accounts use a network Home folder, so any machine can use the same account and settings. The same server also manages a 25 machine iMac lab environment.
    Each semester, we wipe the Mac Pros clean an reinstall the OS and Final Cut Studio. Last semester, the Mac Pros were upgraded to 10.6, and Studio 3 and we had no issues. This semester, a fresh installation of 10.6 was installed, as well as fresh Studio 3.
    Now this is the problem we are having. Final Cut Pro 7 will not correctly create .fcp project files when users are logged in with their network server accounts. If you save the project to the desktop, or anywhere else in the Home folder, it creates a .fcp file, seemingly normal. But after the project is closed, the .fcp will not open again. Further more, a quick file size check shows the .fcp files are zero KB. Opening with Textedit shows an empty document, not even a single bit of data shows up.
    But, Final Cut Pro 7 will create .fcp files perfectly fine on the local disk, or firewire drives. Local accounts also work fine. This problem only happens on network homes.
    This is severely hampering the workflow for students using these editing stations, as they can't use their network home folders to save any data in Final Cut.
    The strangest part, is it worked fine last semester. The same machines were running 10.6 and Studio 3, and the server has not been changed at all.
    Any clues?

    No problem Tom!
    I didn't checked before but i solved thanks to your post... for some strange reason, the French language that i don't use, appeared in my language preference pane. I just added the English, and moved/deleted the French after it and FCP became English again!

  • IMovie and Final Cut Pro unexpectedly when importing 720p MPEG files

    I'm running iMovie/FinalCutPro on Yosemite. Every time I try and import a 720p MP4 with 60FPS both programs quit unexpectedly while generating the thumbnails. The files I am using have run/imported without any problems into Quicktime, VLC, Adobe Premiere and my brother's iMovie on his Macbook Pro machine.
    What I have done in no particular order:
    1. Cache/preferences cleaning
    2. Re-install iMovie
    3. Delete all codecs except AIC and AppleMPEG2
    4. Install codecs (Perian, divx, xvid)
    5. Delete Flash Player
    6. Repair permissions
    7. Repair hard drive in safe mode
    8. Delete iPhoto database, tinker with GarageBand
    9. I logged in as a guest user and the problem persists
    10. 540p MP4 with 30FPS and that had no problem importing into iMovie
    I believe I have isolated the issue to a quicktime engine that is either corrupted or defective that is causing both iMovie and Final Cut Pro to crash. I could use Adobe Premiere or another machine, but I prefer iMovie and would like it to work on my machine. The only solution I can think of is reinstalling the OS, but I really am against that.
    Let me know if you have any other ideas. Please see the Problem Report below:

  • Fonts and Final Cut Pro

    Hello,
    A while back I posted a thread asking about using the font manager "Suitecase" and Final Cut Pro. It was clear that Suitecase should not be used with Final Cut. I work at an ad agency and we have a database of 4000 fonts. Does anyone know of a good font managing program that plays well with Final Cut? Using the standard font manager that comes with an Apple computer is not an option. Also, using Borris 3D is also not the answer because of the time it takes to create and make changes to a slate. Help me!
    Thanks in advance.
    -Amber

    Any font management program should make fonts available to your system and all the apps in the same way, right? What's so bad about Font Book anyway? I was so relieved not to have to deal with Suitcase and /or Font Reserve once I got on OS X. I can see all my fonts, turn them on and off, it's easy to look for special characters, arrange the fonts in different collections, etc.
    I agree that it makes me miserable to have to open the Boris Generators' type controls every time I want to make a change, and then not be able to preview my changes while I am working. Also, there is no way to duplicate a Boris generator and edit it and have it show up in the same position on the screen. If only they could simply give you an anchor/origin point for the text that acutally related to the alignment of the text object, as any normal, thinking person would expect. Also, try this one, copy and paste several copies of a Boris Generator in a sequence, put different text in each one, and try changing the alignment of just one of them, now notice that evey other generator in your entire sequence will automatically change its alignment as well. You could try to solve this by making the clips independent, but, oh wait, that's right, YOU CAN'T! Ha! jokes on you. Now please start over by recreating each of your Boris type objects from scratch. WHEE! (acutally, the method here is to format one and then drag it to your browser and reuse it from there, but don't copy and paste a Boris generator, ever.)
    Add to this the way that these objects will randomly disappear or use vestigal render files when you export or encode mpeg-2, but never when previewing the timeline, and the way that Boris will render any project that uses a Boris generator unopenable if you replace your system Helvetica with the Adobe version, and you'll wind up with a lot less hair at the end of your day.
    All that said, I use it all the time, and grit my teeth in frustration the whole way as I re-create, replace, re-format, troubleshoot, and double and triple check evey second of my work every step of the way, and re-encode, and reformat again, and troubleshoot some more.
    If I have lots of lower 3rds or IDs to do, where I want them to come up in the same position on the screen, I find FCP's generic type generator works ok, as long as you never move the generator clip from 0,0 in the motion tab. The generator only converts the font to pixels once, and moving the resulting clip resample the video image of the type instead of regenerating the type from the font in te new position, which means that if you drag the clip to a new position in the canvas in wireframe mode, it will look blurry, always. Use the origin crosshairs in the type controls instead. Of course, the only generator that allows you to do this is the one that does not allow you to have multiple fonts, sizes, or style in a single object. The one thing I use type generators for most often is to make a lower 3rd template for use throughout a long program that will always occupy the same position on the screen each time I use it, and I wish I could use two different sizes in one object. I can't believe that this is the one thing that is impossible in FCP.
    Another thing about the FCP type generators is that they do not support font families at all. Try Univers, for instance, and you'll notice that instead of 45 Light, 55 regular, and 65 Bold, you have Plain, Italic, Bold, and Bold/Italic. Notice also that if you choose Plain, you get italic. Fun! The way this appears to work is that, within a certain family of fonts, FCP will take the first four that it sees and assign them to Plain, Bold, etc., in the alphebetical order that the source files would appear in the finder (acutally I think there is an even more arcane, less logical method it uses to pick these styles, but I have never been able to figure it out).
    These three issues, no character-specific formatting, quality loss if the clip is repositioned, and the inability to support font families, have never been resolved since FCP 1.0 - the tool remains essentially unchanged. Perhaps they figure that anyone who really cares enough about their project never uses it anyway, so why bother fixing it? But I acutally do use it with fairly good results, just never move the clip from 0,0, and if I need to use Univers 65 Bold, I just turn off all the other Univers families to force FCP to recognize 65 bold as "Plain".
    ok, font rant over, we now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.

  • Lion and Final Cut Pro X

    Lion and Final Cut Pro X.
    Anybody got it working? Final Cut Pro X crashes and system looks so slow, like it wold be 10 years old. All started after update to Lion.
    Hey Apple, what's up?
    I do a lot of video edits, but now it impossible to work with Final Cut Pro X at all. Too many crashes.
    Every day I think more and more about return to Premiere Pro.
    Lots of people waiting for updates.

    Same problem, Lion totally stuffed everything up. (even though the problem first surfaced with Snow Leo - at least that time we could switch of automatic graphic switching as a work around)
    Apple have replaced two logic boards so far along with memory and something else I don't know I am so fed up.
    I Have not been able to use my computer for over a month now because of Apples incompetance with this issue.
    I've wiped and reinstalled Lion three times now. Ran the computer with a clean new Lion install and only FCP installed. BSOD.
    Two logic boards later as mentioned and three visits to Apple having to leave it with Apple for them to come up with "it's software related" as there finding - so this is my problem apparently. The joke of this being that before I left it with them this last time they ran a diagnostic with the specific purpose of rulling out software as a cause.
    Apples new OS Lion makes Apple software not work on a Apple computer  - and this is the consumers problem and not Apples?.
    Come on Apple, Really?
    You can do better than that.
    Admit theres a problem, and replace our useless aluminium bricks if you cant work it out?

  • Sony DCR-HC42 and Final Cut Pro??

    Can anyone verify that the Sony DCR HC42 digital video camera works with an G4 12" iBook and Final Cut Pro 5??
    I want to buy this camera but want to make sure I can edit the footage with FCP.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you checked at Apple's Final Cut Studio web
    site:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/qualif
    ication.html
    It doesn't appear on the certified list.
    However, googling the cam reveals:
    http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-DCR-HC42-Cam
    corder-Review.htm
    Glad to help, but it's always good to be resourceful
    first.
    The real issue is a G4 iBook with no second firewire
    bus, the need for a firewire capture disk and FCP5.
    You are not going to be very productive with this set
    up and there will be issues of DF and throughput.
    That iBook can't use much RAM
    best wishes
    Thanks, I appreciate the help.
    I had already checked the FCP offical list - sorry did not mention in the post.
    I had also checked a lot of other sites and found nothing clearly stating that the DCR-HC42 works with the G4 iBook and FCP - but I had seen a review from a customer (on some site) saying it did not work with thier iMac (where other cameras like Canon had) and they thought that it might be due to a video card issue??
    As for the set up - not doing any major editing jobs so I think that I am OK.
    Any more info would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Quicktime 7.5 and Final Cut Pro is there a problem?

    Quicktime 7.5 and Final Cut Pro is there a problem with this version of Quicktime?
    i cant capture at all now! I can control my camera but no capture or footage in the window?
    I can capture using IMovie fine!

    Alister, there's no problem with it on my Mac, nor none that I know of ... I think you must have an install specific issue.
    Check your camera setting matches your currently chosen Easy Setup ... in fact, close the Log and Capture window, then go ahead and re-choose the appropriate Easy Setup for your camera and I/O hardware, then choose View menu > Refresh A/V Devices, and then reopen Log and Capture ...
    ... still no go? if not then post pack with complete details of your hardware and software, your camera, the recording format, any I/O equipment that is in the mix etc.

  • Sony HDR-CX7 and Final Cut Studio 2 ???

    Hey there people,
    I live in Australia and I am new to this forum & couldn't actually locate a specific thread for my questions so hopefully anyone could be of assistance.
    Basically, I have just bought a Macbook Pro 2.4ghz notebook, Final Cut Studio 2 and a Sony HDR-CX7 hi def camcorder.
    Has anyone come across issues with Final Cut Studio picking up the hi def clips straight from the Sony camcorder when you try to import files to Final Cut? After some research, it seems as though this can simply be fixed by buying a FireWire cable to connect from the camcorder straight to the FireWire port on the notebook. Is this correct??
    Any assistance would be great or if anyone knows of a link to a thread specifically for the Sony HDR-CX7 and Final Cut Studio 2. The standard def seems to work ok but the hi def isn't picked up on either the Macbook direct or Final Cut Studio. I just would like to ensure that i am able to use the camcorder hi def with Final Cut
    Cheers!!

    You should be able to transfer from the camera to FCP through the log and transfer window with a FW cable... FCP 6.0.1 added AVCHD support anyway...

  • Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Final Cut Express 3.0 - 5 minute captures then freeze

    Something I have found with Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Final Cut Express 3.0.
    After Updating to Tiger - 10.4.11 and Quicktime 7.4.1 - Both Pro 4.5 and Express 3.0 will not capture more then 5 minutes and 12 seconds. If you are having this issue the solution I used to fix both Pro and Express issues was an update on the software. Final Cut Pro 5 fixed the problem (or 6 if you can) and with Final Cut Express, version 3.5 fixed the issue but if you can go with FCX 4.
    Let me know if this helped or if you have found a different solution. Downgrading the os might help but that is too much of a pain and it's time to upgrade the software anyway.

    #29: Need AGP Graphics card
    Shane's Stock Answer #29 – Error: “Need AGP Graphics card”
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302667
    The Final Cut software is looking for a graphics card type that is required for that version of the software. FCP 4 and FCP 4.5 were released when AGP cards were the requirement. Attempting to open this on a Mac with a PCIe graphics card, such as an Intel Mac, will cause this error. FCP 4.5 is not supported on the Intel Macs. If you happen to have a PowerPC Quad processor Mac and get this error, you can try this hack:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/finalcut_pro_on_oldmacs.html
    You can also press the "esc" key as you launch FCP. This enables FCP to open and run, but know that it might not work optimally.
    If that doesn’t work, or if you have an Intel Mac, you are going to have to upgrade to a supported version of FCP…and FCP 6, part of Final Cut Studio 2, is the latest version.

    Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
    .. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
    if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ...

  • PCI cards, iMac and Final Cut Express HD

    I recently bought Final Cut Express HD for my iMac and I was pretty sure that i met all the requirements. It will not install and keeps crashing on my computer. I need some help. I look under my mac hardware and I have listed under graphics ATY,RadeonX1600 and quartz extreme is supported. There is also under Bus: PCIe. Final Cut Express HD requires an AGP or PCI Express graphics card compatible with Quartz Extreme. I do not know this technical stuff. I need help please. 1. Does my computer match this already? 2. if not what do i need to get to make this work?

    How much RAM you got in that puppy? I'm not sure if the first Intel Macs came w/ 512 RAM but if they did you might need to upgrade in order for it to run properly. I would make sure you had at least a gig and try the re-installation techniques as suggested. Tiger by itself needs at least 512 and Final Cut requires the same so RAM might very well be the issue. I personally re-install from the OS up when I get a new version of software and this is especially true when upgrading from a PPC to Universal app. and I do this all after zeroing out and refomatting the drive if it hasn't been done yet (when I first received the computer).

Maybe you are looking for
