Manual for FCP 7 ?

Hi.
I really miss not having a nice 1000+ page manual to go with FCP 7. Some how the "Help" option doesn't cut it.
I see a few books marketed as manuals for FCP 7. Can anybody recommend one?
(If I look at my old manual. It's full of notes I wrote in the margins - notes about what I've done, references to other pages of the book. And it's sides bulge with yellow stickies doing the same. I miss all these and wish I could do the same for FCP 7. "Help" just isn't the same.)
John

Thanks for the directions to the on-line pdf version of the whole manual. I downloaded it then hit print preview. It says it's 2026 pages.
Anybody tried printing it????
I guess we're all in agreement. Apple should make it available in print form somehow. Reminds me of the story of the first digital watches. Wanting to be cool and hi-tech, I suppose, these watches were issued with a numerical read out. People soon objected so they had to abandon this and go back to a clock-face. Seeing the time expressed in numbers alone just didn't tell enough. A clock face with hands tells you the time but it puts that time in relation to the whole day. Same with these on-line "help" pages. They are devoid of context. The brain needs something more.

  • Need the latest .pdf manual for FCP X 10.0.9?

    I have a friend who is stuck on FCP X 10.0.9 because he can't upgrade to Mavericks.
    The only old official .pdf user manual I have was produced last year for 10.0.6
    Was this the last one made or is there something even more up to date   .  .  .  .  not 10.1 of course!

    Thanks Russ, that link provides an excellent resource I did not know existed.
    Unfortunately, just as I had suspected,  when I downloaded the "FCP X 10.0.9 User Manual" I discovered it was in fact the "FCP X 10.0.6 User Manual" I already had  .  .  . .  obviously it hasn't been updated since 10.0.6 probably because there were no significant modifications.

  • Manual for FCPX

    Does anyone know how to get to the manual for FCPX online? Bringing up help from within the app presumably goes online to get the content, but I can't find it anywhere on the Apple site. I'd like to be able to read it on my iPad.

    Thanks. I did in fact search but apparently not for the right thing.
    Seems strange that the Motion manual is 1000+ pages, yet the FCP help file is 320 when I turn it into a PDF.
    Ah well, more fuel for the FCPX isn't for professionals fire

  • Bought FCPStudio... how can I get hard print manuals for DVDStudioPro etc?

    Just bought FCP Studio... can't believe the box doesn't come with hard cover manuals for Motion, Compressor3, Live Type, Soundtrack Pro2, and most importantly of all, DVD Studio Pro4!
    I wouldn't even mind putting out more money for hard print manuals, but I can't find anyplace at the apple store online to even get them. I'm supposed to sit here and babysit multi thousands of pages of Apple notoriously inconcise manuals coming out of the printer like I pirated the software? I can't believe that I'm the only one who still reads paper manuals until they're dog-eared, I HATE reading manuals on the screen.
    Anyone know how and where I can buy paper manuals?
    Thanks!

    A bit OTT maybe but you may like to consider my option.
    I like you wanted to be able to consult manuals and tutorials while sitting at my main machine.
    I bought a cheap laptop a Pismo in this case more than capable I do also use it for autocue when doing voice overs which further justified its purchase.
    Like I said maybe OTT . . . maybe worth considering . . . .

  • Brand new Manual for Final Cut Pro X

    This is a support forum for FCP X so I was wondering if it is allowed post here the information that I just finished a brand new Manual for this program "Final Cut Pro X - How it Works". It is available from my website as a pdf file in 11x8.5 format.
    http://DingDingMusic.com/Manuals/
    I'm writing "Graphically Enhanced Manuals"  for many years now (mostly for Logic Pro) and applied the same concept to the new FCP X. I thought it is especially helpful with all those changes in FCP X to provide lots of graphics and diagrams to help to understand the fundamental changes under the hood and the new concepts that shocked so many editors.

    David,
    thanks for the link. I read through it and you are right, It looks like I'm in violation of the Terms of Use.
    However, there are a two things that I find interesting.
    There is no acknowledgment whatsoever or any "thank you" from Apple to the potential participant for doing Apple's work for FREE, that is - providing appropriate customer support. Many users, including you David, are spending countless hours to help Apple customers.
    Not only does Apple take that service for granted, it also prohibits those who help others to list at least their own website, to let people know what the helpful user is doing for his day job. How about if Apple would prohibit the exchange of business cards at their WWDC for all participants or not allowing their speaker to mention their product or business.
    This is an "Apple Support Community" where Apple expects free "Support" help from their customers but overlooks the "Community" part. It doesn't have to go all myspace-style, but  you want to get to know the people (especially the helpful and competent ones) and what is wrong to have their website listed in their signature or one line about their new book or video tutorial. As long as it is topic related and not about their sports memorabilia business on eBay.
    Letting users know that there is a new book or video or podcast available about the product on the Forum  IS HELPFUL to the user community regardless if the post is coming from someone who used the product or the author himself.
    The only legal exception I found in the legal document is:
    "Do not use the Site to sell or market your products to others and do not post a URL unless it directly answers a user’s question"
    That means I can answer a question with a link to my book and the reference to the page number where I explain or answer that topic. Everybody can figure out how to play around that system so why not go the common sense route and get rid of the questionable restrictions in the first place.
    And - if you listen Apple - at your next quarterly results meeting, between all those big sales and profit numbers, a nice little thank you to all those "free customer support" on the forums would be nice.
    (Was this again a violation of "2.2 Do not add Submissions ... Discussions of Apple policies or procedures"? - I don't know. I usually have a lawyer sitting next to me when I'm writing Apple posts, but he went out for lunch)

  • DVD Footage for FCP Edit - how to tell if NTSC or PAL?!

    Hi all, apologies if this seems like a stupid request but I have a job at the moment calling for me to extract footage from a DVD, edit in FCP, add a few bits from Motion etc., but I can't work out if the DVD is NTSC or PAL!
    I intend to extract the video (no issues with copyright) via DVDxDVPro but am unsure if the DVD has been encoded in NTSC or PAL. The footage it contains is from both the States (NTSC) and South Africa (PAL) so how do I tell? I don't want to go through a standards conversion if I can help it.
    I am keen to try to retain as much quality as possible (client can't provide tape) so also any thougts on the best output from DVDxDVPRo for FCP editing?
    Thanks all,
    Best wishes
    Michael

    Hi Thomas, that's it!
    Thanks for this - it clearly shows the TV standard and the resolution plus 4:3 etc., so everything I needed for confirmation.
    Glad I cheked because it was in Pal - thought the conversion in DVDxDVPro looked a bit ropey.
    This realy baffled me - seemed so simple but couldn't find a way to tell the standard. Learn something everyday...
    I am using DVCPro for export from DVDxDVPro - anyone thoughts on a better option?
    Thanks again for the answer - and so quick on a Sunday too!
    Kind regards
    Michael

  • Where can i find a dutch manual for photoshop cs6

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find the dutch manual for Photoshop CS6.
    There is a hyperlink available on this page Help bij Photoshop | Archief called Help bij Adobe Photoshop CS5 (PDF), but if I follow this I end up on an "error page" in English telling me that the requested page isn't available.
    Can someone provide me with this PDF-file please?
    I can download this PDF in English, but it would be so much easier for me to read and understand the subject matter in Dutch.
    So, is there anybody out there who can send it to me?
    Thanks!

    I have redemption codes for FCP from my university - how many machines can I install on?

    Do you have these codes because this will be your app? Or is this a "loan" from the school to install on your machine? Do you use your own Apple ID to redeem the code and install the app?
    If it is your app, then you may install it on as many Macs as you own or have in your control.

  • How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto?  I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!

    I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!
    I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto.  However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD. 
    So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info.  That means no syncing....
    I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
    I am puzzled.  I appreciate for your advice and help.
    Thank you!

    It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.

  • Please help me configure a new 8core for FCP

    PLEASE HELP A PC GUY MOVE OVER...
    I need to configure a new 8-core for FCP mainly. I need to keep the expense reasonable so dont want to spend extra $$$ if i dont have to.
    I edit files from many different camera's these days. Mostly weddings & demos.
    I want to go with an 8 core either Two 2.26GHz, OR 2.66GHz? Is the 2.2 fast enough with FCP?
    How much ram do i need?
    Do I need to stripe 2 sata drives together for the video?
    Which video card?
    Can you recommend any other software/hardware that will help me?

    Either will work fine.

    As much as you want but 8G will be adequate. More might not help significantly.
    sarecco wrote:

    Depends on the video you're trying to use or if you want to do 9 camera multiclips. Maybe.
    sarecco wrote:

    The stock 4870 is the gold standard for Motion; the current rev of FCP does not care much about the GPU but we are hoping future revs will use the card directly.

    Umm, withotu knowing what you need to do, of course not.

  • Automatic Conversion of PR to PO.. Need User Manual for ME59 T code

    Hai Sap Gurus,
    I Got the following content from net. but kindly help me by sending me user manual for ME59.
    You created purchase requisition for various material. During creation of purchase order you used the following path:
    Purchase Requisition
    .......Follow on function 
    .........Create Purchase Order
    ............automatic via purReq. 
    When you mentioned required purchase requisition number and execute, system give error that purchase requisition does not contain any suitable item. 
    Is there any setting in customization where you can monitor and use that function.
    In an effort for you to successfully use the Transaction Code ME59 to automatically convert the current PR into PO, then the following criteria should be met: 
    1) In the Purchasing View of the material master data, the "Autom. PO" field must be clicked; 
    2) In the Purchasing View of the Vendor Master Data, the "Automatic Purchase Order" field must be clicked; 
    3) The Outline Agreement or Purchasing Info Record shall be maintained which will allow the automatic copying of unit price and other conditions into PO; 
    4) The Source List shall be maintained for the nominated vendor which was shown in either the Outline Agreement or Purchasing Info Record. 
    or 
    it might be PR subject to release strategy and not yet released
    or 
    If you're not using a source list or automatic creation of PO, you may need to assign the requisition to a purchase information record using transaction ME56. Then it should appear in ME58
    Thanks.. Reply me pls...
    Edited by: Swetha SAP Girl on Jun 18, 2009 2:19 PM

    Hi,
    Step by step process for automatic  PO creation from PR
    1.  Tick check box in purchasing view of Material Master(MM01/MM02)
    2.  Tick check box for auto PO in purchaisng data of Vendor Master record (MK02)
    3.   Maintain Source list for Material,plant and Vendor combination in ME01
    4.   In ME51N create PR and assign source of supply in "Source of supply" tab
    5.   In ME59N key in Purchaisng Org., Vendor and Plant - execute
    You will get POs created with reference to PR automatically.
    Hope its clear
