LiveType in FCE4

Hello All!
I'm planning to uninstall the Livetype Version that comes with my FCE4 upgrade and re-install the original LiveType version that comes with my FCE-HD that was released 3 years ago
Will this work without problems with Leopard? (OS X 10.5.4)
Thank you and have a safe halloween!

Will this work without problems with Leopard? (OS X 10.5.4)
My LT version 1.2 worked without problems with Leo, you should be OK.

  • FCE4 not "seeing" LiveType LiveFonts, Objects

    There are LiveFonts and Objects listed and I can put them in my timeline and view on my canvas. I have read that there is another install disk...but that was not with my FCE4. Do I purchase that separated? Under "Installed" it just has "---" instead of "no" or "yes". I'm not real clear on how they can even be listed there if they don't really exist. The install icon is shadowed out. Can anyone tell me how to install these? Do I purchase these separately? Can I not use LiveType with FCE4?
    Thank you!

    Yes, I see them. It doesn't come up as "Video 1: Live Type" when I add it to my preferences, it just shows the hard drive pathway to that folder...if that makes sense.
    I am guessing then, that these are already installed in Live Type since they got installed with my FCE4? I think what was tripping me up is that when I clicked on one in my media browser, I was expecting to have to also click on the installation button at the bottom left of that window and it was always shadowed out and wouldn't allow it...so it sounds like what you are staying is that clicking on that button is a step you take if a LiveFont has NOT been installed (which is the case for FCP b/c there are so many to install), but for FCE, it is already a done deal.
    Is that correct?
    And thank for you for this help!!

  • Why FCE4 change LiveType to 1440 x 1080 ?

    Hi there,
    I import in some effects I created in LiveType.
    In LiveType under the Preference, I clearly select Apple 1080i50 ... but when I goto FCE4 & import in the LiveType .ipr file, the properties showed it as 1440 x 1080.
    Does that mean the rest of my sequence & clips in Timeline (which was recorded in 1920 x 1080) will be downgraded to 1440 x 1080 when I render the whole sequence ?
    Another thing, that is puzzling me, when I open up the same LiveType project file & see the project properties, it has changed to HDV 1440 x 1080 despite me changing & saving earlier to Apple 1080i50
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    What are the exact item properties of your FCE sequence?
    There is no Apple 1080i50 preset in LiveType. There are HDTV presets and there are two sets of HDV presets, one for the Apple Intermediate Codec. If your FCE sequence is HDV you use the 1440x1080 HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50 preset. If it's 1920x1080 you use the HDTV 1080i50 preset.
    Okay thanks Tom, now I understand.
    I used to think that Apple 1080i50 is 1920 x 1080.
    Btw, my sequence in FCE is 1920 x 1080. So, if I understand you correctly, in LiveType, I should use HDTV 1080i 16:9
    However, if my sequence is 1440 x 1080, in LiveType, I should use HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50
    My earlier mistake when I said I used Apple 1080i50, I meant I used HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50 in LiveType thinking it is 1920 x 1080. Now I know this is 1440 x 1080, that is why in the browser, the ipr file from LiveType is indicated as 14440 x 1080.
    What I should select in the LiveType preset should be HDTV 1080i 16:9. This is to match my FCE sequence of 1920 x 1080.
    Is the above correct ?
    Thanks

  • Suggestions for spy movie LiveType settings

    I am making a spy movie for the Toronto Student Film Festival and I want suggestions for good title settings for a spy movie using LiveType. The LiveType I am using is the one that comes with FCE4 not any of the previous versions.
    Also, I have heard that the earlier LiveType is better than this one. Is there a website where I can "downgrade" for free?
    P.S. The title of the movie is "Jr" as in Junior
    P.P.S. It can be all lowercase, all uppercase or as above

    and you think, LT offers a preset, which impresses on a Festival?

  • Why LiveType chnage my settings to 1440 x 1080 instead of 1920 x 1080 ?

    Hi there,
    I import in some effects into Final Cut Express 4 from the .ipr fiIes created in LiveType.
    In LiveType under the Preference, I clearly select Apple 1080i50 ... but when I goto FCE4 & import in the LiveType .ipr file, the properties showed it as 1440 x 1080. Isn't Apple 1080i50 is 1920 x 1080 ?
    Does that mean the rest of my sequence & clips in Timeline (which was recorded in 1920 x 1080) will be downgraded to 1440 x 1080 when I render the whole sequence ?

    How does it appear in FCE?
    Is it OK?
    It's probably something to do with HDV being 1440x1080 but playing as 1920x1080.
    As long as it looks and works OK I wouldn't worry about it.

  • Exporting LiveType to Final Cut Express 4

    I am copying an initial post from earlier today in the FCE4 forum. I hope it is okay to post this in two places, and I am sure there is quite an overlap in helpful users between forums, but, I am posting this here, too, to hopefully get a few more eyeballs on the problem. I was also going to initially post this here, but the LiveType forum was down earlier today:
    I made a movie in LiveType. When I imported it into FCE, and also moved it into my timeline, it was "not wide enough." That is, there were black bars on each side of the clip in the Canvas of FCE. I looked around on this forum and decided I needed to go into LiveType and make the project properties match the properties of my FCE project.
    Here is what I did:
    changed the frame size from 720x486 to 1440x1080 to match
    changed the field dom. to Upper(odd) also to match
    I left the pixel aspect in LiveType at 1.33 (it is my understanding, though I could certainly be in error, that this is also a match to the 1440x1080 of my project in FCE)
    Those settings are what I changed and result is worse than before. Instead of two black bars on each side in the Canvas, the LiveType movie is now positioned in the upper left hand corner of the Canvas, quite small, actually.
    There has been a lot of help in the FCE forum, but the problem has not been solved.... yet. Here is the link to that thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2764606&tstart=0
    I suppose this looks pretty impatient on my part, posting in two forums, but I have a deadline to meet for this video.
    Thank you very much.

    You need to rebuild the effect from scratch.
    Changing the Project Properties in LiveType does not change the size of the elements in the composition.
    This kind of explains what I mean: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9449441&#9449441

    Ok.. more testing and research.
    Final Cut Express doesn't support AVCHD Lite.
    iMovie (my version is '09 - 8.0.5) does import AVCHD Lite directy from my TZ7.
    Since iMovie is nice, but offers a bit less then FCE I just imported the clips from the TZ7 into iMovie, moved all imported clips to the timeline and exported a Final Cut XML. This one I imported into FCE and voila.. realtime editing with FCE of the clips from my TZ7.
    A bit strange, that FCE doesn't support AVCHD Lite.. but the way through iMovie is doable.

  • Install without LiveType?

    Should be.

  • LiveType Crashes upon startup

    My hard drive needed to be replaced, so I reinstalled FCE3 and included the Livetype application and the two data discs that go with LiveType on the new hard drive.  I reinstalled FCE 4, but deselected the LiveType application on the FCE 4 disc, since I'd seen earlier threads mentioning that FCE4 didn't include some of the features of LIveType that I wanted. I've done the software updates for FCE4.
    I've rebooted, repaired permissions, and attempted to delete the "com.apple.LiveType.plist" from the Preferences in the Library, but I didn't see that particular file listed (it goes from "com.apple.LaunchS...QuarantineEvents" to "com.apple.loginitems.plist").
    If someone else could help me resolve this, I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks in advance.

    OK. I ran the FCS remover, so I assumed I was starting with a "clean slate."
    I installed FCE 3 along with the two LiveType Data Discs.
    BEFORE installing FCE 4, I tried running LiveType, but again it quit instantly.  I went ahead and installed FCE 4, hoping it would magically fix itself, but, alas, it didn't.
    A few years ago, when FCE was first made available, I purchased it (i.e. FCE 1).  When I had trouble a couple of years ago with this, I was advised that I DIDN'T have to reinstall FCE1.
    I've noticed that. in this most recent attempt to get LiveType to work, I have NOT been prompted to enter the serial numbers associated with the FCE 3 nor the FCE 4 discs.
    Should I run FCS remover again and after reinstalling FCE 3, should I NOT reinstall the LiveType data discs?
    Should I run FCS remover again, but start with the FCE 1 disc?

  • Can't view markers in LiveType

    I can't view markers in Livetype (Using LiveType 2.1 and Final Cut Express HD 3.5.1).
    In order to synch a LiveType to audio... I've set up the audio in Final Cut Express, and marked the audio at my placement points...
    In Final Cut Express, I select File-Export-For Livetype
    And select All-Markers
    Save it to my desktop
    Open it in LiveType (Place background movie)
    The background movie is there, but there are no markers.
    Any thoughts? This is driving me nuts. I've tried exporting as a self-contained movie and not as a self-contained movie, as audio only, or as audio and video.
    Many thanks,
    Brett

    Never used FCE so I assume your workflow is accurate or you've checked it carefully against the manual. Are you attaching markers to the audio clip, the video clip or to the sequence?
    In FCP, one can place markers on audio clips separately from video clips. LT has no audio support so that would make it impossible to see audio markers.
    I've never used markers to sync in LT, it's a silly way to work. I create all of my LT effects as individual items, designing them with sufficient handles to allow for fades or moves, and composite in FCP. Trying to do more than one thing at a time in LT is uncomfortable.

  • Camera not recognized In FCE4

    Whenever I open FCE4 the message, " Unable to locate the following external devices: Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x 480)" I bought a FireWire Adaptor and my sony camera says, "DVinIlink" so I believe it is recognizing being plugged in. Please help, thank you!

    What's a FireWire adapter?
    Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you're using in Final Cut, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime you are using.

  • New Mac Mini + reinstalled FCE4 = no capture from my Canon HV10?

    I used to have an iMac 24" with FCE4, and then I switched to a 2010 Mac Mini 2.4GHz 4GB and reinstalled FCE4.
    I don't remember exactly what the menu options looked like for capturing in the past, but I do recall it was dead simple. I would select some sort of Capture menu item and it would start my firewire-connected Canon HV10 playing and capturing (while showing a 0-1sec delayed preview of what was being captured.
    Now I have two capture menu entries: Capture Project..., and Capture... . Capture Project doesn't work (it errors about selection error, batch capture, no sequence), and Capture pops up this big window that I never recall seeing before along with an error: "Capture Preset must have a video or an audio digitizer set to capture. Please change to desired preset in the Audio/Video Settings." I'm not even sure where the Audio/Video settings are; they don't appear to be in User Preferences, System Settings, or Easy Setup. And incidentally, I have my Easy Setup set to AVCHD 1440x1080i60, which I believe is correct for my video camera.
    I have confirmed that my machine sees the camera device in the Firewire list:
    HV10:
    Manufacturer: Canon
    Model: 0x10
    GUID: 0x85000124CAFB
    Maximum Speed: Up to 100 Mb/sec
    Connection Speed: Up to 100 Mb/sec
    Sub-units:
    HV10 Unit:
    Unit Software Version: 0x10001
    Unit Spec ID: 0xA02D
    Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the fast and correct solution! I don't know why I got the setup wrong this time, or for that matter why I got it right on my previous install
    Now that I have configured my Easy Setup the way you described, my capture works just as it did before.
    Thanks!

  • Trouble capturing HDV footage from Sony Z5U in FCE4 - any ideas?

    I've shot about half an hour of HDV footage with the Sony Z5U. Have the computer at home connected to my Mac with a firewire. Tried with both firewires that I own. I've used a similar camera before to capture footage recently with no problems.
    Gone through the Easy Setup in FCE4 and changed it to HD, HDV1080i60. In the camera, the VCR mode is set for HDV, the Video Out for Component says "1080i/480i", the down convert and DV wide convert are for letter box.
    Any ideas on what the problem is? Do I just have 2 bad Firewire cables? or a bad port on my computer/camera?

    Do you want to downconvert, or do you want to capture HD? Switch off downconvert. Switch off iLink.

  • Importing from iMovie 08 to FCE4 - aspect ratio!!

    Hello All,
    I have clips recorded in iMovie 08 (captured from built-in iSight cam) which I'm trying to import into FCE4. Using the standard FCP XML export in iMovie and opening in FCE4, the aspect ratio of all clips is lost.
    I am using the built-in iSight cam to record a video blog (please don't give me flack about not using a dedicated cam), is there a way to preserve the 16:9 aspect ratio from iMovie? I have used the motion settings on the clips to attempt to restore the original aspect ratio (-33 seems to be close), but this seems terribly unscientific and mostly guess work. Thanks.

    In the browser (view as list) check the Anamorphic Flag associated with both the imported clip and your sequence: both should be set. My guess your sequence is not 16:9, in this case you only have to set that flag in the browser to fix it.
    Setting Aspect Ratio = -33 in the Motion tab restores the right proportions of the original video but creates top and bottom bands in a standard 4:3 video and reduces the original video vertical resolution. The anamorphic flag, instead, fixes the video aspect ratio without losing video quality.
    Hope it works
    Piero
