Loading a Video TS folder and contents into FCP

I have some video on a disc from a Canon DC201. When I look at the disc it contains a folder named VideoTS. Is it possible to use the files in some way in FCP? How can I load the video?
Thanks,

Hope this may help,
VIDEO_TS is a folder that contains many other files inside, like VOB (movie), INFO (info), BUP (backup). FCP is movie editing application, so..
1. FCP can edit VOB (=MPEG2) if you have QT MPEG2 component & the right audio component.
2. another way, open VOB file with mpeg streamclip (or others) & convert it into DV. FCP is sure can understand it.

Read a folder and contents into memory

Hello All,
I want to put an entire folder (and it's contents) into memory.
Use Case :
1) Computer 1 has a folder called "foo" with 5 files in it. I want to run some program here which will serialize down into some file call it "fooserialized"
2) Computer 2 deserializes "fooserialized" and can then create folder "foo" with all of it's original contents.
Any suggestions? I browsed through the java.util.zip package with no avail.
Thanks!

Spinning Beachball when switching out of and back into FCP

Whenever I switch to another application (including Finder) and back into FCP, I get 20-30 seconds of that stupid beachball before I do anything. Any thoughts?

Possible to set it so you can't delete a specific folder and contents...

Hello.
I'm wondering if anyone knows a way I can set a folder so that a user can't delete the folder (and thus, the contents by deleting that folder). But, at the same time, I want them to be able to manage the items within the folder (ie. can delete sub-folders, can add sub-folders, etc.).
Basically, right now each computer in the studio has a "jobs" folder. This folder gets backed up (via the network via Retrospect) each night and users can add/delete jobs as they want. But, they can also accidentally delete this folder by having selected the main folder itself and hitting command-delete, or by moving it to the trash. I know it's not "likely", but it is possible and I'm hoping to prevent it.
I thought I could lock the folder so you can't delete it, but this seemed to also make it so the user can't add files either.
So, wondering if anyone has any suggestions (native or 3rd-party)?
Thanks,
Kristin.

If I create a temporary directory owned by me and grant read/write/execute permission to me, my group and others, I can add and delete items inside it but I cannot remove the directory itself while working as another user. If I gave ownership of the directory to root, I would also be unable to remove it.
While this is not secure - certainly admin users could delete the directory itself if they wanted to - it should prevent accidental removal of the sort you describe. Check it works on 10.5, though.

Take permission for folder and contents

Is there a way to take permissions for a whole folder and its contents all at once?
I transfered hundereds of photos from my old MBP (Snow Leopord) to my new MBP (now Lion)
I know how to change permission for a single file, but I'm tired of doing it one at a time....

I get the following:
chmod: Unable to change file mode on /Users/chris/Desktop/permissions/IMG_0298.JPG: Operation not permitted
EDIT:
I enabled root, and attempted it that way.
I don't get the error message, but I also get no change on the files. The folder is now unlocked and I have permission for it, but I still have the files inside it locked.
Any tips? Slight variation of the command?
EDIT #2
I also tried this command using path/filename on a individual picture, and it had no effect. Only unlocked the folders in my tests, not the files themselve. Perhaps I need a CLI for dummies guide
Thanks,
Chris

Copy Workspace folder and contents

I would like to copy all files and folders in a folder on the Workspace to another folder on the Workspace. What's the best way to do this?
I'm using Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Workspace 9.3.3.

Hi Dougp,
I guess you want to restructure the folder view in work space,, if I am right,,
all you have to do is to simply use copy and paste action to move the folders and what ever insides of the folders.
Just right click on the folder or the contents in side the folder and copy them, then you can paste it either at
top level of the tree or any of the below levels.
If you want to move the folders in b/w the environments I suggest to do Export to file system-->FTP to target server-->Import from file system.
If you want to do export & Import b/w environments make sure the database connections on the target workspace are set up according to the
source (navigate to manage database connections) else you will get a message saying whether to replace the source database connection with one of the
existed database connections in target.

Is it possible to move download folder and contents to an external disk

my download folder is very large.
can i delete all downloads?
can i move folder to an external drive for safe keeping?

The Downloads folder is a "System Folder" and you shouldn't move it. Anything that you don't need in the Downloads folder you can delete.

Canon Vixia HF10 and importing into FCP

Can anyone tell me how to import from the Canon Vixia HF10's internal memory into FCP? It seems that there is only a USB connector on the camera and FCP only supports Firewire. Any suggestions?

Dear Jerry,
I have the same issue. Just got the camera. I can copy the "private" folder which contains all the information which I believe is based on .MTS type files.
I was hoping that I could somehow just load these clips in directly as I used to use a canon miniDV which required me to play the entire clips.
I have mpegstreamclip but am not too familiar. Is there any other way other than having to convert each and every clip?
Thanks so much for any advice you can give me.

I can't import HD video from Samsung OIS Duo into FCP. However, I can see the video with QT. In FCP, I just see a red bad with a yellow triangle (warning). Can someone help me. The video are Full HD 1080/60i?

I can't import my HD videos (MP4) from my Samsung OIS Duo into FCP.
However, I can see the video with QuickTime.
In FCP, I just see a red box with a yellow triangle at the center(warning). Can someone help me. The video are Full HD 1080/60i.
I also try converting from MP4 to DV. Cannot import the .DV either.
Can someone help me?

Could it be the case that you have "proxy media" selected in the preferences (under Final Cut Pro -> Preferences, click on "Playback" and see which is selected, proxy or optimized), BUT you are not creating proxy media when importing?
If that is the case, either
- switch to "original/optimized media",
or
- create the proxy media (control-click the clip(s) in the event browser, choose "Transcode media" e check the box for "create proxy media").

Audio help wanted exporting to QT and back into FCP.

I have a sequence with live sound on A1 and A2, music on A3 and A4 and some extra voice on A5 and A6. I have gone into audio outputs and clicked "6 outputs" and "dual mono" for each and tried checking all the options for "Discrete channels" "Stereo down mix" etc. Whatever happens when I reimport the QT movie into a fcp sequence I get the 6 tracks but the whole mix always ends up of 1 and 2 with the other tracks blank. How can I get all the tracks to carry accross individually all the way?

I've sent a test to the broadcaster using this method. When I reimported the QT file back into FCP it was possible to separate the live sound from the music etc. I'll have to hope it's OK otherwise I'll have to do the odd suggestion of the editor of converting all the audio files to AIFF and re-laying them into the project and then exporting the whole lot as a QT file.

Separating one iTunes account and content into two

My partner and I are going through a divorce but we have shared the same iTunes account for the past 12 years. How do we separate our music library into two separate accounts so we can each have a portion of the library?

Any music purchased after about 2009 can be played on any computer with the file on it. That's the easy part. Oh, I don't know if syncing present problems but I'm guessing it won't since people often have multiple Store accounts and shared music on family computers.
Movies require the computer be authorized to the account used to purchase the content. This is where you will have to come to an agreement not to change the password or de-authorize each other's computers for that account (there could be a scenario where this is done unintenionally but it shouldn't normally arise unless you have lots and lots of computers).
One tip is to make sure you always have all content present on a local drive. Do not put yourself in a position to ever need to re-download media from the Store. I am presuming you will have your own account after this and the main problem people seem to have with using multiple Store accounts on a computer is being prevented from changing accconts more than once every 90 days for the purpose of re-downloading. Otherwise families often have multiple AppleID users on a single computer with shared media.
You may have to ease up on doing anything such as using iTunes Match or iCloud downloads with this particular account, but we're talking trying to rescue what you can.

Loading HD video from SonyHC3 and converting to DV..

For the past year l have successfully converted HD to DV on my Sony HC3 and loaded to imovie 06 with ex results. Now when l startup imovie, select a new project then the format as l always have as DV widescreen, DV reverts back to HD 1025 as soon as the Mac sees the camera. l have double checked camera settings and reset/formatted it. The only thing that has changed in the past 2 months was that l tryed to load ilife 08, then read the instructions to find it was not compatible with my emac. thanks
Dave

Thanks again 4 reply, this camera records either in HD or DV, by recording in HD u have a much better quality video. However l do not have an HD tv and dvd's are not HD just SD so HD cameras have a feature to convert the output to SD. This feature has worked well for the last year and we are pleased with the dvd's we have made. The mini dv tapes l keep so that when l win the lotto l'll treat myself to a HD tv and a blueray hd dvd and a new mac to go with them. bye Dave

I accidently loaded my daughter's itunes and apps into my iphone 4. How can I delete all of her information and be able to use my itunes login and password again so that I can access my apps?

I recently purchased an Iphone 4 and was not aware that I had to have separate ITunes account. My daughter and I share a computer and apparently she is using the main account on the computer. I went to download some songs from her ITunes and it not only downloaded all of her songs on my phone but also her apps. I do not want her apps. When I went to use the apps that I had on my phone before downloading her ITunes information, they would not open and only go back to the main screen. When I access her apps, they work. Help!!! How can I restore my settings and just take all of the information that I downloaded from her ITunes out and set my own ITunes on the same computer. Any help would really be appreciated.

Create your own user account on your computer, open iTunes, log into your iTunes account on the iTunes Store then sync your iPhone.

Recording Flash with iShowU and importing into FCP?

I need to create some motion graphics for a video, though I am not good enough yet with Motion and would like to use Flash. I am wondering if there are any issues with creating my project in Flash, playing it back and recording it with iShowU and just bringing it into my FCP project this way. It seems like it should work fine, just want to see if there might be anything I am overlooking?
Thanks.

I"m not slamming iShowU. It's great, and it's easy to use.
I would just choose graphics built using Motion over graphics built using Flash and then iShowU, the quality will be significantly different. But that's my opinion and depending on your final destination (like a podcast for instance) you may be better off going your direction. With regard to audio though, be aware that iShowU compresses audio using AAC.

I'm creating a lower third in Motion and importing into FCP X, but the alpha channel is gone when I import into FCP. What am I doing wring?

I'm trying to export from Motion 5 with an alpha channel, but in FCP X the alpha is gone. What do I do?

if you're exporting video animation out of Motion and you need transparency, then you need to make sure that the codec used is ProRes 4444. There are no other options. From the Share > Export dialog, the default Export option is usually "Same as Source." In Motion, that *should* be PR4x4. You can double check that setting by clicking the summary button and reading the last line.
You also need to make sure under the Render section that Color + Alpha is selected (that should also be the default setting.)
However, most of all, you're really wasting your time going about it this way. If you started a Title project in Motion, all you have to do is Save and give the project a Name; pick a category or create a new one. In FCPX, in the Titles browser, look for the category you used and find the project name and drag it onto the storyline.
You have the option of picking parameters in your motion project that you can "publish" to FCPX (things like the lower third background color, text color, positioning, etc... almost every parameter is publishable to FCPX allowing you to customize the project *inside* FCPX.) Any parameter you publish in Motion will be in the Title Inspector in FCPX. You do not have to "bake" your lower third in Motion before using it in FCPX. You can pretty much turn your project into an FCPX plugin.
If you didn't start a Title project, you can still build your lower third as an FCPX Generator. Go to the File menu and Publish Template... In the dialog box, make sure you check Publish As Final Cut Generator. Give the project a Name and select a category (you'll need to wait a few seconds until the Categories update to the FCPX categories...) You can create a custom category if you like and save the project. In FCPX, instead of the Titles browser, look for your template/plugin in the Generators > WhateverCategory > YourLowerThird.
