Loging and transfering 60fps footage in to Final Cut Express with out it changing it to 29.97fps?

When I "Log and Transfer" my footage to Final Cut and the footage was filmed at 60 frames per second it always changes it to 29.97 frames per second. I need the footage to be 60 fps so it can be in slow motion. But if I start using the clips else where like After Effects CS5 it has the frame rate of 29.97 as I said before. Then my footage is kind a useless regarding the slow motion part.
Thanks in advance.
Jakob!

I have been trying for three days to the same thing.
I did get the video content off my camera via imovie 08 but the quality is very poor.
Haven't worked out how to improve the quality yet, I also tried importing the video
via ADVC 110 analog conversion device but that doesn't improve the quality.
I do have Final Cut Pro & MPEG-2 Codec and have been searching for the video in the camera's
hard drive but can not find it.
Can you tell me where Sony told you to find the video files so that I can try & import it to Final Cut Pro.
Thanks

  • HT3775 Does anyone know how to get .mts files and mpg files to work in final cut express?

    I am trying to import footage from a cannon xa10 but it wont come up in final cut express. The only files I have managed to get off the sd card are either .mts or .mpg files and these won't import into final cut. Any suggestions?

    Barney & cjnz11, are you importing AVCHD lite?
    FCE doesnt play nice with AVCHD lite with the Standard plugins, imovie on the other hand does (go figure) there is a fix for this.
    1. Open the Final Cut Express.app by right clicking the icon and choose 'show content'. At Contents/Plugins you find a folder called: "AVCHD.RADPlug". compress this and keep it safe (Just incase)
    2. Now Open the iMovie.app by right clicking the icon and choose 'show content'  At Contents/RADPlugins there is a folder called "AVCHD.RADPlug". Copy that folder to where you found the folder with the same name inside the Final Cut Express.app
    After that you will be able to Log & Transfer AVCHD Lite with in FCE instead of the imovie import and XML export method.  

  • Transitions and dragging files not working in Final Cut Express 4

    Although this topic has been gathering dust in these archives for a while, my problem differs in that there's plenty of room either side of the edit point. So no need for "handles" either side.
    Today I installed Final Cut Express 4 on my swanky new MacBook Pro which I am stroking as I write. Ooh, baby, brushed aluminium ...
    First, in the Browser, I've set up a "bin" but I am unable to drag any of the four short clips that I've imported from my Nokia 5800 phone. Yet it has worked perfectly in iMovie (the good one, the one with the Timeline).
    Why, when I click on a clip, can I not grab it in order to drag it to the bin?
    Neither will it let me drag any of the transition icons into place as is done in the tutorial. But when I click on the edit, it drops a brown vertical that looks like it could be the transition icon (I want the cross dissolve at about 2 seconds). I tried several transitions but nothing seems to be showing up in the preview canvas.
    How do I drag the transition icon into place?
    Once success, though. I used the razor blade to get rid of a few frames, then shift and delete so the whole thing lifts out with the audio — that worked properly. But the edit is a straight cut, no dissolve.
    There was a red line that told me something needed rendering, so I rendered "both". Sequence, render all, "both". But when I click on the edit I get another red horizontal render line above it. That's happened several times.
    A window with browser and canvas appeared, reading Trim Edit, (left viewer side) Outgoing clip (vid name) 00:00:40:19 and 00:00:41:18, then (right canvas side) Incoming clip 00:01:10:24 and 00:00:50:15. There's also a button reading Track VI but I have no idea what that is. I've tried sliding things but I can't get timings that look like a second to the left of the edit point, and a second to the right, meaning they overlap by two seconds.
    The window had three sets of controls, one under the viewer "Outgoing Clip", a second under the right hand canvas "Incoming Clip". The middle one plays the canvas screen as Previewing Edit. Again, we get to the transition and it's a basic cut.
    Help! What's going wrong?

    "imported from my Nokia 5800 phone."
    This material will not work with FCE. It needs to be converted to a format that is compatible with FCE. You can probably use MPEG Streamclip to do this.
    Transitions: http://www.fcpbook.com/Effects1.html
    Please confirm that you have handles available on your media to create the overlap for the transition.
    Rendering: Your material is not compatible with FCE.

  • Using Final Cut Express With Sony DCR-TRV480

    Hello all,
    This is a well known newbie problem and i have came across it before with a different camera and do not remember a fix. Whenever i launch Final Cut Express i get the message "Unable to locate the following devices. Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480)". The camera is clearly connected via fire-wire and turned on. Any insight or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    ~Dan

    Do you have any other firewire devices connected to your Mac at the same time your camcorder is connected? If so, try it with only the camcorder connected.
    Is your camcorder turned on in VCR (aka VTR) mode?
    What versions of FCE and QuickTime are on your Mac?
    Your profile says you are running OS X 10.6.3 - is that correct?

  • Can you deploy Final Cut Express with ARD?

    Hi Folks,
    I have recently purchased ARD to help administer a suit of iMAC and 6 MAC Book Pros. I have an issue with Final Cut Express 4, in that it requires the licence information on application start up. I originally created an image with all of the software pre-installed and everything works apart from the licencing of FCE. I was hoping that ARD would solve the issue.
    I have tried to copy the existing FCE ID file from the ProApps folder from one computer to another – however it must hash the licence with system ID or something else as it still requires the licence info at start up? As suggested in another thread.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12514255#12514255
    So is there any way to install FCE 4 without the need to manually enter the product key?
    The Mac are running mountain lion and are all intel based.
    Any help or info would be very much appreciated.

    Yes, I've purchased it for my late 2010 MBA 13.  Runs pretty good.  Since it does what it does, it does run the CPU, fan and temp up a bit, but still ran perfectly fine.
    Cheers!

  • Installing final cut express with  a disc drive

    I have 2 copies of final cut express 4, however my laptop was stolen. I know have a new laptop but it is a mac book pro without a disc drive. How do install my copy of final cut express? I don't want to (and can't afford) to buy it again when I already own 2 copies and all the used software coupons.
    Can I download it? where and how?

    Get an external DVD drive. Apple sells one:

    You can probably find something cheaper, if you look around.

  • Final Cut Express with iMac G4

    I have been using an iMac G4 for several years. It has worked out extremely well for me. I use it for internet browsing and Microsoft Office applications. Now I'm considering getting Final Cut Express.
    Will the G4 iMac be able to handle it?

    My G4 733 worked great with FCE 2, and would probably run 3.5 just fine for regular DV, not HDV. Right now my G4 Quicksilver 1 GHz is running FCE 3.5 perfectly well, along with LiveType and SoundTrack. In fact I recently went to the local Apple store where they have Final Cut on their newest and latest Macs, and I deliberately made some complex edits in Final Cut on one of their Macs to see how much faster it would render them. I was surprised that it was not much faster than my Quicksilver G4.
    Check the hardware requirements for whatever version of FCE you want to run.

  • Final Cut Express with Universal Control Surface?

    I would like to buy Final Cut Express. I want to use a universal control surface such as the Tascam FW1082 with my editing. I know the FC Pro has control surface compatibility, but does the new FC Express?

    Bummer. But, thank you for answering my question.

  • Final Cut Express with Youtube

    Hi all,
    I've been having this really annoying problem ever since I started using final cut to export movie files for Youtube and I can't find anything online to help me out, so hopefully one of you knows the answer!
    Basically every time I export a video from FCE and upload it to Youtube, the video only fills a small part of the Youtube screen, rather than taking up the full video box, which looks pretty awful - Check out the example below:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G7n78FqrPs
    Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone know the optimum export settings for Youtube so the video takes up the full screen?
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Ben

    Yes, I know the dimensions of the source video do not match the optimum Youtube dimensions, but this video fits the full screen before I put it into FCE so I must be doing something wrong within FCE which is messing with the video. Here's the properties for the video and the sequence (Last time I right clicked on the file outside of FCE; the properties below are what I got when I right clicked on the file and sequence within the browser)
    Video:
    Vid rate: 30fps
    Frame size: 510x284
    Compressor: H.264
    Pixel aspect: Square
    Field dominance: None
    Sequence:
    Vid rate: 25fps
    Frame size: 720x576
    Compressor: DV-PAL
    Pixel aspect: PAL-CCIR 601
    Field dominance: Lower (even)
    Hope you can see something wrong in all that?!
    Cheers,
    Ben

  • Final cut express with Lion

    I had to replace my Hard Drive on my iMac and had Lion installed then I reinstalled FCE and it  won't work at all. Is it because FCE won't work as a new install with Lion? Do I need to get the new version of Final Cut?

    The FCE installer needs Rosetta, which is not part of Lion.  Also, FCE itself is not supported on Lion (FCE was discontinued last June when FinalCutPro-X was released.)
    I'd suggest moving on tto Final Cut Pro X.  Yes, it's a whole new learning curve, but there are good resources available including Izzy Video's free Final Cut Pro X tutorial course.

  • How to convert video shot in 60fps into 24fps in final cut express?

    I was wondering if you can convert video that was in 60 fps into 24 fps within FCE to get the slow-mo fluid motion?
    Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    ok so what you are saying is it does support 60 fps then? I know the post says nothing about 720, it states that FCE doesn't support 60p so whether it is 720, 480 or whatever home made concoction, it doesn't support it. The reason I stated 720p60 is because there is no broad supported standard in 1080p60 and I didn't want to be attacked for using an unsupported HD standard as an "example". Clearly you don't know the answer and are just avoiding it like any politician.

  • Capture HD video in Final Cut Express with a Sony HDR-FX7

    When try to capture a video from my new Sony HDR-FX7 using the HD Format Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 the preview screen never shows the video being captured. In fact the video is never captured. Any suggestions to how set the 'Easy Setup'? When I try to capture with NTSC format the software keeps looking for a timecode that it will never find thus stops within a minute of starting. I would love to capture some video from my new Sony HDR-FX7 but not having much luck tonight. Have any helpful hints?

    First, trash your preferences. Setting different incorrect settings and opening the capture window is a good way to corrupt the prefs files. HDV AIV 1080i60 is the only one to use if the camera is correctly set to output HDV.
    Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media (you really did shoot HDV?), and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime are you using?

  • When does the next version of Final Cut Express come out?

    I'm just trying to decide on purchasing the upgrade now or waiting. I don't want to pay for 3.5 HD now and a month from now have to pay it again.
    Does anyone know the release date of the next version or will 3.5 HD be here for a while?
    Thanks

    It's against the terms to ask if someone knows of a news story or what have you if there is a new version coming? That's ridiculous. Granted I didn't say "news story" in my initial post, but I'm certainly not asking for insider trading secrets or asking someone at Apple to tell me secret info not readily available to the public. I'm just asking if there is a public blurb from somewhere, Apple would be best, if a new version was on the horizon. That's not against any rules. I searched and could not find anything, so I was hoping someone else knew.
    The terms say
    "Speculations or rumors about unannounced products."
    I guess there are no official noticed out there, which is all I was asking.
