Maximum clip speed in FCE and FCP?

I'm currently using iMovie '09, which allows a clip speed increase of up to 2000% (two thousand percent). I'm considering purchasing FCE or FCP but before I do, I'm hoping someone can tell me the maximum clip speed increase. Just FYI, In iMovie '09, the slider stops at 800%, but a value of 2000% can be manually entered. Thanks for any insight.

Thanks Al. Just to clarify, that was FC Express (not Pro)?
Yes, Express 4.0.1

  • FCE and FCP...

    I have FCE 4.0.1 and was wondering if I could also use FCP 6.0.6.
    My school has FCP 6.0.6 and I have to make several projects using FC.
    The files would be saved on an external hard drive 1tb firewire 7200rpm.
    I was wondering if the two applications are interchangeable in that I could edit one project on using both FCE 4.0.1 and FCP 6.0.6.

    In general, you can open FCE projects in FCP, but not the reverse. Once you save a project in FCP, it's no longer readable in FCE.

  • FCE and FCP will not recognize LiveType files

    I have FCE 3.0, also recently upgraded to FCP 4.5 (I work on both) Also upgraded to QT 7.4 from 7.0. The first time I tried to import a livetype file to either FCE or FCP, they would not recognize the files. They appear in the list of files, but are grayed out. I have livetype 1.2.1
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    I notice no one is able to answer this...doesn't anyone have any ideas?

  • Digital Camera Movie Clips in iMovie, FCE or FCP?

    I was wondering if anyone has come across a digital camera that takes movie clips in a format that can either be edited straight in iMovie, FCE, FCP or one that takes the clips in a format that can be easily converted over to something that one of those three programs use. Thanks.

    Virtually any of the Sony digital stills cameras will shoot 30fps as long as you use a Memory Stick (..or smaller Memory Stick Duo..) Pro as the memory chip. The faster access speed of the Pro chips lets you shoot at 30fps.
    Similarly with other, such as Fuji, cameras: as long as there's a high-speed chip in there, such as a high-speed Compact Flash card, you'll probably be able to get 30fps (frames per second). Check the instructions on the camera box, or camera manual.
    However, some jerkiness may be apparent when using iMovie HD, as that tends to offer 'DV 29.97' as the frame rate for 30fps movies, whereas, I think, things were smoother in previous versions of iMovie, in which the 'NTSC' choice (29.97 or 30fps) really did seem to use 30fps instead of 29.97.
    That's been my experience, anyway.
    [..See a quick'n'dirty comparison here for QuickTime 7 users, or (a rather more jerky version) here for QuickTime 6 users..]

  • Compatability between FCE and FCP

    Hi all,
    We run a number of copies of (Non-Universal) FCP on G5s. We ahve a client who wants to do some tinkering of their own to some edits and has an Intel Macbook. A universal copy of FCE seems to be the answer for them as long as:
    1. FCE can use the projects / sequences /media created in FCP
    2. FCP can use the projects / sequences /media created in FCE
    3. There are no issues with one being the Universal and the other not.
    Thanks in advance for your replies.

    Hi all,

    A universal copy of FCE seems to be the answer for
    them as long as:
    Speaking from exprience using the PPC version of FCE 3.0 on an Intel iMac, when I launched it, I got an error message saying I didn't have to right processor/video card (?) and the only option was to quit launching the program. At that dialog box, I pressed the esc key and it continued launching and I had no problems using it. I don't know if that will work on a MacBook, try and find out. I removed it from my PPC machine before installing it on the Intel machine. Also for what it's worth, the license for FCP 5.1 (UB) allows for a single install on a desktop machine and a laptop owned by the same person and only one copy running at a time.
    1. FCE can use the projects / sequences /media
    created in FCP
    I don't know. Haven't tried.
    2. FCP can use the projects / sequences /media
    created in FCE
    I used FCP 5.1 (UB) to open FCE 3.0 (PPC) projects and found no problems doing so.
    3. There are no issues with one being the Universal
    and the other not.
    Not that I found, but I'm a weekend editor and may not have come across any issues, a power user may be able to answer better.

  • Does the "Anamorphicizer" work for FCE and FCP?

    I have:
    Final Cut Express HD 3.0
    iDVD 6.0.2
    Just downloaded the anamorphicizer from this link
    http://homepage.mac.com/sith33/FileSharing34.html
    to help my project maintain it's 16:9 aspect ratio in iDVD.
    Before I spend $30.00 for quicktime pro (so that I can start using the anamorphicizer with it) can someone tell me if the anamorphicizer works for Final Cut Express?
    If you go to the page above it says, "Export your video from FCP like you normally would for going to iDVD," and does not mention FCE.
    Or, is there another website to download a "anamorphicizer" version that works for FCE?
    Thanks!
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Final Cut Express

    I've had kind of iffy results with Anamorphicizer, but I suspect that's because I don't know what I'm doing (or am trying to convert funky file formats). But when I drop a file on top of Anamorphicizer, it automatically opens up QT Pro and instructs me to save the converted file. I think you might have to get QT Pro in order to use it—I'm not sure, but don't think that the regular (free) version of QT has the "save as" capabilities of QT Pro. (Could be wrong, though. . . )
    Anyway, sure, if you save a file after it's been converted by Anamorphicizer, it should be able to be opened in FCE. (I save my files as a "Hinted" Quicktime movie.

  • Upgrade FCE to FCP Apple Prores etc

    Hi,
    I just purchased my first mac a few weeks ago. I was deciding between purchasing FCE and FCP, and ended up buying FCE. None of the specs I read mentioned the 1440x1080 resolution limit on importing AVCHD, nor did I read anywhere that the import codec was limited to a heavily compressed AIC codec rather than ProRes.
    I've only had FCE since July 1. Now that I realize that issue, I want to upgrade to FCP, but called an apple store in the area and they said there is no upgrade path from FCE 4 to FC Studio. Is there any way I can do this? I really like the software, but these limitations were not mentioned. It said AVCHD support and when I read about that further, there was no mention of the bad compression and resolution limits. The footage looks about as good as 720x480 DV.
    Is there any way that I could upgrade my FCE 4 to FC Studio and make use of the ProRes codec and I hope full 1920x1080 resolution?
    Thanks in advance!
    Adnan Hussain

    Adnan,
    I am very interested in your post as a new user of FCE and a AVCHD camera user for awhile now. Can you tell us what your camera records in? Is is 1920 x 1080 i60, something else? Also what is the output you wish to use...SD DVD, Blu-ray DVD, Apple TV or internet.
    My experience has been that with AVCHD, and most other formats I suspect, some loss of quality is to be expected during the editing process. Comparing clips from the camera to clips that have been imported to editing software and then exported to some other format is not an apple to apples comparison. ( no pun intended ). How the clips are imported and in particular how they are exported have a huge impact on the final result. The Pro res codec in FCP may offer some higher quality output, but at a much higher price and depending on what you want to view this on......it may not matter. So bottom line, as Ian has responded, in your case switching to FCP may not help.
    One final question is how have you tried to export the movie, what was the work flow you used? There might be some settings that you can change to get closer to the results you desire.

  • When chane the clip speed it's jitter and shakes

    hi
    i want to ask about speed change
    i use final cut 7 and when i change speed the clip it jitters and shakes
    but the same clip i change the speed finat cut 6 it does not jitter
    can anybody help me
    i tried all known methods but i can not resolve the problem
    i use hd 1920*1080 i apple proress 422 hq codec and my sequence settings and clips the same codec. even i take the clip to a blank sequence fcp asks me this is not match. changege sequence settings to match the clip settings? i sayt it ok and now my sequence and clips are same codecs. however the clips when i play them revers or slow it jitter.
    field dominance is none. not upper or lower and sequence filed dominance is none too. i tried to change video processing options and render options but the same result.

    Well, you haven't answered any of my questions. It's certainly not an issue with codec or format, so you've wasted a lot of time there.
    As I have no idea what you mean when you say jitter, it's impossible for me to say what is causing it. Are you using Frame blending? What is the source of this video? Refer to my last post and see if you can answer some of the questions.

  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) - Maximum internal hard drive size and speed?

    What is the maximum size of hard drive and speed for an internal hard drive to my Macbook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2009), please?
    I bought myself a Technics 1TB, 7200 rpm internal hardrive. Made a clone successfully in Super Duper.
    It fits, but It is not available for starting up my Macbook Pro. Not available in System Prefs, but visible and grey in Disc Utility.
    Although it starts up my Mac Pro just fine.. but not my Macbook Pro.
    Is there a limit of hard drive specifics?

  • My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1.  I have imported .mov clips created with a older mac os x (lion) and converted them to import into fce. after doing this as well as putting clips on the fce timeline when playing back t.h

    My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1.  I have imported .mov clips created on a older mac os x (lion) and when I wanted to import them into fce, a quicktime conversion window opened up and converted them (I haven't experienced this in the past). I then imported the converted quicktime clips into my fce project.  After doing this I took selected clips and put those edited clips on the fce timeline.  When playing the video back in the fce timeline,I noticed
    1) the video wasn't playing back smoothly like the original content
    2) when looking at the timecode reading of the timeline, the timecode was sputtering as well as the video and audio.  I exported to quicktime just to see if that was consistent, it was.
    When I play the converted quicktime content independently of fce,  it plays normally (no sputtering of timecode, video and audio.  Need help to resolve the sputtering playback of converted video content in the fce timeline.  I've never experienced this before.  Any suggestions?

    When you say you converted the clips before importing them into FCE, did you convert to AIC or DV and do the converted clips match your FCE Sequence settings exactly?  If not, go back and convert the original files again, using the intended Sequence settings as a guide.

  • I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but can't it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

    I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

    You cannot drag the effects themselves to the timeline.  You add them to a clip in the Viewer, just as you have done. 
    If the clip was already in the timeline when you  opened it in the Viewer (by double-clicking it in the timeline to open it in the Viewer) and then added the reverb effect, there is nothing further to do, you have added the effect to the clip.  You don't drag it back to the timeline.
    You only have to drag the clip to the timeline if the clip was not already in the timeline (for example, if you opened the clip from the FCE Browser; or set different In and Out points in a master clip to use a different portion of the master clip in a different location in your timeline).
    Depending on the effect you add, you may have to render the timeline after adding the effect.  But I don't think reverb requires immediate rendering.  One other note, you said you were working with an audio clip ... audio clips need to be AIFF (not MP3 or something else) and preferably 16-bit stereo.

  • Importing FCE to FCP and G5 iMac to Duo Core iMac issues

    I mainly film & edit weddings, but work on a number of other things as well. Someone told me to try hitting escape when I get the error message window, which worked good enough on a few of the projects, but not on most. Have been using FCP 5.1.4 for about a year now and opened plenty of my old FCE 3.0 files without trouble. Switched from an iMac G5 without a Duo Core to a new one (iMac 7.1) with a Duo core in Jan, and now having all kinds of problems opening old FCE and sometimes even FCP projects started before I got the Duo Core.
    There's a project I created abt 8 mos ago in FCP 5.1.4 I'm trying to open and touch up a bit in the same version of FCP, but the cursor goes into a multi-color spin and essentially freezes up. I've also tried to open the capture scratch files from this project in a new Final Cut project, but they won't open and I get this message: "File error: 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown." Finally, try to open the capture scratch files in Quicktime, but get this message: "an invalid public atom movie was found in the movie". This makes me wonder if the captured video files might have gotten corrupted...any idea how or what to do now?
    Looks like my current system has an ATI Radeon HD2600 card. I'm not super technical when it comes to most of this. Any ideas why it won't open or what I can do to get it to work around these issues? Having to re-load footage and start completely over on these sure would be a huge pain. Please say NO
    Any thoughts are appreciated and welcomed.

  • Clip Speed and Transpose does not work on a sound clip

    Dear All,
    I am trying to slow down and change pitch of an .aiff sound clip in Soundtrack pro but the "Clip Speed" and "Transpose" does not work. I tried the same version of the clip in .mp3 format but nothing happens. It is a music clip 2 min 19sec long. What am I not aware of?
    I am using 2.0.2 version and I am fairly new to the software.
    Thanks a lot,

    Hi carloss,
    Have you checked the integration services (Assuming you are using Hyper-V)?
    The devices are configured based on the related services. You might need to install/Configure that thing.
    Further, Windows 10 build 10041 is available, you may check through Windows Update:
