Live capturing from Panasonic AG-HVX200 using Final Cut and MacBook Pro
Does anyone know if the MacBoko Pro using Final Cut can capture live 1080i video from a Panasonic AG-HVX200 to an external firewire hard drive?
Great info. I'll get on those other forums.
Not that it is an 'issue,' but to answer the question I was INITIALLY thinking of getting a laptop just to capture video, and edit on my desktop. But I see that the advice of getting the biggest baddest laptop would be a better idea and I've read others say that being able to edit 'on the road,' is a great potential.
I checked out the only tested and approved by Panasonic Firestore and it's the FOCUS FS-100 that comes standard with a 100GB hard drive that provides 1.5 hours of DVCPRO HD recording time with a list price of $2,195.00.
(If using PAL, you need the PAL version)
Other than the valuable other forums mentioned here, I found a good site for FAQ's for the Mac/AG-HVX-200/FCP, at: https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/cs/csregistp2m/ep2main/faq/p2faq .htm
These FAQ's, above, say that "going directly into a PC is possible, but it may fail to record some frames per second. This depends on the performance of PC. So we do not recommend this method."
There is a rebate if buying the USA warrentied camera before the end of the year: a free 8GB P2 card (advertised as a $1,200 value)
I think this answers all my questions about this topic. Thanks everyone for the info and the patience.
P.S. - There is a free contest, BTW, to win the biggest badest laptop, the 17"-MacBook Pro, at http://www.pcmag.com (of all places!)

time capsule only allows 2 devices at a time as a router. If I am using the iphone and macbook pro, it bumps the roku offline. Any suggestions?
At a guess you have cable internet connection.. please confirm exactly what you have.. two public IPs are allowed by some ISP.. once you use up the two IPs, there are no more..
Make sure the TC is in router mode. And to get it working you probably need to shut off the cable modem.. if it has battery backup remove the battery.. try 5min off .. if not long enough try 20min off. then overnight. The ISP equipment must reset to allow a new MAC address to capture the IP.
If you cannot work it out.. plug in the old router again.. and set the TC to bridge mode.. which I suspect it is in now.. and plug it into the main router.. it should work fine like that. -

Thanks!!Details please.
And screenshots can be so useful to clarify a question (one can use the camera-icon to attach images).
Anyway, you don’t get the option to select a Function Key in the Action Options or is the key not displayed in the Actions Panel after setting one? -
Imessage & sms using iphone ipad and macbook pro
I just had a new ipad mini for christmass. Great... but I have a new problem.
Note that I dont have a data plan on my cel. That means that i received imessages only when I am connected to wifi (home, university, etc..)
Before I had my new ipad mini. i configured my iphone and macbook pro to use imessage with my cel phone no as my primary ID. Everything was fine. When I was at home (both iphone and macbook pro connected to wifi), i was getting imessages on both my iphone and macbook pro at the same time. My friends that do not have apple devices were sending me sms that i was getting on my iphone only. When leaving home with my iphone only, I usually close my laptop that is getting automatically in sleep mode. My iphone continue to receive all my messages (my friends imessages were automatically converted to sms because my macbook pro is sleeping and therefore not accepting imessages and my iphone was not connected to wifi). When I get at school and my iphone connect to wifi, my iphone now reveives all imessages plus sms.
With the new ipad mini (configured the same was as my macbook pro to accept imessage with my iphone no as the main ID) it seems that it continues to receive all imessage, even when sleeping.
The effect is that when i leave home with my iphone only and get out of the wifi, my iphone do not get any imessage that are accepted by my ipad mini. My friends that use iphones dont know that i am not getting their messages because they see on their iphone that their message have been distributed.
That is a big problem for me.
I want to receive all my messages (imessage and sms) on my iphone... when i am connected to wifi and when i am not.
The work around solution i use (that i dont really like) is that, on my new ipad mini, i unchecked my phone no in the list of ID for imessages. With this solution, i am back as i was before getting my new ipad mini... but the problem is when i use imessage with my apple mini using my apple id as my imessage ID, my friends are getting 2 different conversations... on with my iphone no as imessage ID and another one with my apple id as my imessage ID. If they ever use this last one when I am out of a wifi zone with my iphone... I will not get those message on my iphone...
What is the solution??????
Thanks for helping.Hey there David,
If you are still not receiving your iMessages between all your ios devices, I recommend the following section of this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, follow these steps.
Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Tips&Tricks How to use Final Cut and Color !
Hello ,
Final Cut - Color - Back to Final Cut
After many days of trying to get this combination working I have found a non-Color-Final Cut way :
1)After you final cut picture edit is locked you have to clean as much as possible the timeline . That means you will have to stick all your image clips to a sigle video timeline and remove all attributes from each clip . Delete all empty video tracks and audio tracks .
Make sure you don't have any gaps in the timeline .
All clips should have the same compression type and frame rates .
2)Send it to Color , grade all the scenes and render it out .
3)Go in finder to the render folder and create an automator work flow adding as source the render folder from color.
Add the find finder option and set it up to look after .mov files .
Add a move finder option and move all the .mov files from Render Color Folder to a new empty folder .
Having done this you should have all the files from the render color folder moved to a new folder .
4)Go back in Final Cut drag&drop all the clips from that new folder on a new timeline , go ahead and check if the new timeline is identical with the old one .
Copy and paste all the attributes from the old sequence to the one from color and re-render in Final Cut . That's it you should be able now to put it back on a tape as a master movie.
In my case Color 1.02 and Final Cut 6.02 I couldn't get the material out from color using another way .
Please post your detailed work flow here and also post if you find this post useful and/or bugs you find about this workflow .
I hope Apple will fix this issue in their next update .I use external drives as backup. But I don't trust them. And in case of fire or what ever...It is of no use...
But I agree on your comment about DropBox. It would have been the perfect solution though.
What else is there?
I have a 2TB HD but these projects are huge and still growing - so I have to move my projects to several external drives. So maybe I should just work directly from external drives and skip the partition of the computers main drive? I am thinking of the disadvantage of reducing the total storage of the disk. -
My computer daily reminds me to update an Iphone/Ipad app to my macbook pro and to my imac. The app is not installed on these devices and is also deleted from my iphone/ipad. There is no way to update because it says it is not possible with my apple id, and not on these devices. I cannot find the Angry birds app that it wants to update in my programs either. How do remove this from the updates?
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method. -
Method of navigating inconsistent among Final Cut and Soundtrack Pro
I'm quite annoyed that navigation along the timeline is not the same in Soundtrack Pro as it is in Final Cut. Is anyone else bothered by this? Have you ever read a good explanation?
John LinkIt certainly would. Adobe pulled down a lot of their software so they could rewrite it from scratch, to make it work uniformly. Maybe Apple's heading the same way in the background. Ever use Color? That too has entirely different origins and a completely different UI and workflow.

I have repeatedly tried to export a project I just created to a DVD, and each time my 2009 MacBook Pro 17 inch reboots because of a problem that occured. It also randomly does this when editing videos occasionally as well. Is anyone else experiencing this same problem with Final Cut? It is very frusterating to not be able to export my project and put it on a DVD without my laptop crashing. Let me know if anyone has suggestions they would be greatly appriciated.
ThanksIt sounds like you have something going on with your system beyond your ability to make a DVD. That could be hardware-related or a software issue.
Has FCP ever worked reliably?
I'd start by using Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager to trash your preferences.
Other trouble-shooting steps:
Open Disk Utility and verify disk. Run Repair Permissions.
Run Apple Hardware Test.
Good luck.

Can I text to an iphone using mountain lion and macbook pro?
Just wondering if I can text from my macbook pro using mountain lion with the new messages app? What i've read seems to say that you can text to any imessages user. Does this mean that a text can go from my messages app in mountain lion on my computer to an iphone using imessage? Thanks!
Hi,
You have to have an Apple ID on Messages on the Mac to get it to start.
Once that is done it will also tend to find all the iChat Accounts you may have had.
Uploaded with Skitch!
I have several names that have "me" in the name that Messages thinks are iMessages accounts (see icons).
I also have AIM (AOL) accounts.
My Google ID is a Jabber account.
The iPhone has to be set up in Settings > Messages > Received At > Caller ID
As has been mentioned in this thread the Messages option has to be on.
A New Message icon starts things and then you chose a Contact for iMessages
Uploaded with Skitch!
It indicates if you are using iMessage or AIM or Jabber to Contact people.
The "To" spot becomes a drop down when a name is there (you can then change to an Apple ID or Phone number or Switch to an AIM Screen Name or Jabber ID if the Contact (Address Book) Card has the details
Uploaded with Skitch!
As you can see I have an @mac.com and an @me.com name logged in and could switch to AIM logins to contact "myself" as a Buddy (rather than an iMessage Contact)

Just recently upgraded to Lion and having issues now with FCP and now Soundtrack Pro. I never had any problems until the upgrade, also noticed that my Quicktime Pro is gone, which I used all the time for making flv files for my website for all those in the world who insist on not loading QT on their machines. I am having to use QT 7.6.6 to do that and my flash files are doing strange things.
http://homepage.mac.com/ote_productions/Malcom.html
Yes, it's supposed to flash like that because I degraded the footage, but not that bad. It has never done anything like that before.
Another problem I'm having is I have a Macbook Pro hooked up to an old 20" Apple Cinema Display DVI late 2005, I never had issues with it, but now when I got to full screen on my FCP it is making strange lines in the footage as it play back. Never did this before, when I display on the 15" laptop monitor, no issues.
Soundtrack Pro crashed on me 3 times this morning, never does that.
Anyone else having any problems? I'm afraid to upgrade to the new FCP because of what I"m reading online about it. I think Apple needs to release a fix for this or are they trying to force us to use the new version and not worried about the old version? I am a professional who using these apps daily to do my job and it is causing me time that I am losing money on.
Please fix Apple we depend on these apps to work. Wish I had not upgraded to Lion now!I think Apple needs to release a fix for this or are they trying to force us to use the new version and not worried about the old version?

Why are you being forced to use the new version of anything... including the operating system?
If you are a professional then you always stick with what works and/or use what it takes to get the job done.
STP is not supported under Lion, it's been discontinued, EOL.
I worry about you Mac folks.... the days of auto-upgrading to the latest and "greatest" are over, "It Just Works" only pertains to iMovie, Garageband and apps included with the OS.
Apple is a hardware company, their software is designed to sell hardware, Lion requires more memory and processing power as does FCPX. -

From old PC ipod to new IPT and Macbook Pro
I have and old ipod whose itunes is on my parents old PC. I recently got a new macbook and ipod touch and now I need to get all of my songs from the old PC ipod to the new ipod touch via the new macbook. How is this possible!?
You have multiple options:
1. Put the Library on portable hard drive
2. Burn the library to DVD(s)
3. Use a big memory stick
4. Set iTunes to not sync, plug in your old iPod and set it for disk mode. Copy the files to your iTunes library.
5. Google Pod to Mac and download the freeware program that will copy your files from your iPod to the Mac. -
Whats the best Audio Interface to use with Logic and MacBook Pro?
I currently own a Line 6 Pod X3 Pro and although its much better than the Eleven Rack (what an overrated piece of junk in a pretty candy coating, more fizz than club soda and still no balls. Some say it just needs a cheap overdrive box to do the trick. I say how can it possibly be worth a Grand if a cheap added piece of equiptment is needed to improve the sound?) It's still not exactly top notch, to say the least.
I was really considering the SSL (Solid State Logic) XLogic Alpha-Link MADI, a 24 channel high-end AD/DA Converter. It's somewhat pricy, but you can't possibly find a bigger bang for your buck, however I don't really need that many channels. I'm really going for quality over quantity, but I'll pay for the extra inputs if there's no way around getting top of the line otherwise.Thanks but I already figured it out, or rather B&H did for me. Firstly, to use the SSL with a DAW you'll need to use the Extreme "PCIe card" which neither notebooks or iMacs accomodate. So unless I want to dish out an additional $1,500 for an RME laptop interface (with built in PCIe card) for this interface i'm shoot out of luck, boo! I was really looking foreward to that set up.
However, to answer my own question (and save a couple hundred bucks) you simply can't beat Apogee's Ensemble, which is built specifically for Mac. Much simpler - no drivers needed, and I actually understand the specs, 16 channels, and 4 of which even have transparent mic preamps. And its only $200 more than the Rosetta (only 2 channels, and nothing but converters - no preamps).
The main thing I also wanted was to have as least components as possible going into Logic. I already passed my "gear collecting phase," and the more I added the worst it sounded. I was already forewarned of such results, but when your a newbe like I was I guess you have to find out for yourself. So I'll be getting rid of my Line 6 POD X3 Pro; dbx 1066; Presonus Eureka; Aphex 204; and 8821 Sonic Maximizer ( I already got rid of the 11-Rack, good riddence!
And replacing them all with an Avalon 737 - anything that sounds that good over YouTube has gotta kill - and the guy from B&H said "thats one SWEET set up!" Of course every body knows Apogee and Avalon are no brainers (if you've got the patience to save up for the good stuff) but I'm more of a best kept secret type of guy (or try to be) however this time I don't mind conforming. Taylored quality and simplicity...Perfect...what more can a guy (or girl) ask for (now if I can only get my hands on some Vienna Symphonic Orchestra Software to pick up the slack where Logic is lacking.)
I just want to stop with the learning every new gadget nonesense already and get back to being a musician again.
PS How do I switch this topic to the Logic forum? I'm sure it will be more helpful to others there.
