Midi Files Don't Work In FCE..and I don't have Quicktime pro to export it

Hi there,
I am working on a project in Final Cut Express 1.0.1
I have a MIDI sound file that will not import into the application. Also, I don't have quicktime pro to export that file to a mp3 or aiff.
Does anybody know if their is a free plugin that will allow me to export my midi file or import it into Final Cut.

Try this, it may work -
Set iTunes Preferences > Importing > Import Using > AIFF Encoder
Set the AIFF Encoder preferences to 16 bit, stereo, 48KHz
Add the MIDI file to your iTunes library. This may convert your Midi file to AIFF.
If not, once the MIDI file is in your iTunes library,
Select the MIDI file in your iTunes library
Go to the Advanced menu and select 'Convert to AIFF'
Then export the AIFF file to your hard drive
Then import the AIFF into FCE

Audio files don't work in FCE

I have clips that I want to use in Final Cut Express that have audio in 48 KHz, 16-bit integer mode.
The FCE manual says "16-bit audio: For video capture and output, 16-bit audio is almost always used"
When I import the clips into FCE and place them in my sequence, I get the dreaded red line over the audio, and I can't seem to "render," so essentially, my clips have no sound.
The default audio settings for my sequence are 48 KHz, 32-bit floating point, about which the FCE manual says "Final Cut Express HD mixes the audio in your program internally at 32-bit, floating-point resolution even if your source audio is 16-bit. The result is that all audio calculations are made with higher precision, maximizing the quality of your program’s audio."
But since my audio files don't work in FCE, something is not right, and I don't know how to change it. The only way to change sequence settings is to load presets, none of which give me contol over the audio settings at this level. How do I get my audio files to work?
Thanks,
Rebecca

Ok, so I opened up one of the orignal clips in QT, and clicked on "Export -> Quicktime movie." Under settings, I made sure the compression was DV/DVCPRO NTSC, and the audio was set to 48 KHz, 32-bit floating point. And exported. And then imported the clip into FCE, and it worked! (Even my teacher in my Final Cut class couldn't answer this one for me).
Question is, if all cameras record at 16-bit interger (as the FCE manual says) and FCE requires 32-bit floating point (as it seems to), why doesn't it do the conversion automatically (as the manual suggests, but does seem to actually do)? I guess I don't really need this question answered, since I now have a fix, but I still need to use QT to convert every clip before I can use them in FCE, which is still a pain.
Thanks,

I purchased the package that allows you to export PDF files into Word files. Whenever I try to export the PDF into a Word file it never works... I don't know if there's something key that I'm missing but I'm pretty bummed I paid for it and it won't work

Hello,
I have paid for this service for a year and it never worked on my computer. I just renewed and it finally converted the file but it will not let me edit it. I join you in being bummed. Either I get help with this or I am asking for a 2 year refund. My intention was to be able to edit a pdf in MS Word.

Java works, but jar and javac don't

java at the command line works, but jar and javac don't
could it be the CLASSPATH
I'm running Windows if that helps. If you need more info ask away
Thanks

Definitely sounds like the classpath problem. From the sounds of the error message, you are using win95/98/ME, and so the best way to get around this is to set the classpath in your autoexec.bat file. I think the problem is because you have to set 2 variables in your path, one for the running of the java (JRE) and one for the tools to process the uncompiled files (SDK);
rightclick on your autoexec.bat and select Edit
here is my path, change yours accordingly so the paths lead to your windows, command and bin directories accordingly.
PATH=D:\WINDOWS;D:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;D:\PROGRAM FILES\JAVASOFT\J2SDK1.4\BIN
SET CLASSPATH=.;D:\PROGRAM FILES\JAVASOFT\J2SDK1.4\BIN\TOOLS.JAR
Theres a section on setting classpath in This site at :
java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/classpath.html
and if that doesn't work, then i recommend you download and IDE which sorts ou most of these problems for you, and makes programming much easier also :)
anything from:
Suns Forte
Jcreator
Jbuilder
to a real heavyweight which i use and find indispensible called Visual Age for Java, which is so powerful, but not for the faint hearted or weak-computered. :P
Good Luck

Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock" !!!!

Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock" !!!!

Ho comprato un adattatore originale Apple "lighitning to 30 pin adapter" per poter usare i mei vecchi cavi dell'iPhone4 con il nuovo iPhone5.
Se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) direttamente all'iPhone5 , tutto funziona.
Ma se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) all'iPhone5 tramite la "base dock" , l'adattatore non viene riconosciuto e non funziona.
Pensando che l'adattatore fosse rotto, ho riprovato con altri identici adattatori originali, ma il risultatato è lo stesso.
Quindi penso che potrebbe essere un errore di progettazione della base dock che supporta unicamente la connessione diretta tramite un cavo lighning e non supporta la connessione se in mezzo c'è l'adattatore !!

I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have. Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording? If so, how? Step by step needed. Thank you for your time.

Did you remove Quicktime X?
On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above.

What do you see instead of video, bobby? A green screen, pretty colors, something else?

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.

Mpeg files no longer work in QT and FCP

I was forced to do an archival install a few weeks ago and, since then, none of my mpeg files will open in Quick Time 7 Pro or Final Cut Pro. When I try and open the file with Quick Time Pro, I get error message -2048. All these video files worked before, and none of them work now. Any thoughts?
Ben

So I found the VLC program, and it seems to be playing all the mpeg files fine (thank God) so I'm thinking that it really is missing a component. I heard through the grapevine that owners of final cut pro should automatically get the mpeg 2 component, so I technically should have it, but I didn't see it in my quick time component folder. I'll go ahead and list everything I've got in there.
3ivx D4 4.5.1 for OSX
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
DivX 5.component
DesktopVideoOut.component
DVCPROHDCodec.component
DVCPROHDMixer.component
DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.compoent
DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputCodec.component
FCP Uncompressed 422.component
LiveType.component
Motion.component
I don't know if this is related, either, but I can't seem to take movie files that I've made with Quick Time Pro and my iSight and put them into FCP. It keeps saying "File Error: Unknown File" (even though it's a quick time file). As far as the update goes, I already have QTP 7.0.3. Should I try installing the update again?
