Multiple screen flashes in Final cut Pro 7

im trying to get the screen to flash multiple times with the drums of a song like how others do it. I dont know how or if i need a plugin or anything help would be great!

As Jim stated, there are a lot of different effects that are represented in your youtube clip.  Your initial post is asking about a 'flash' effect.

There is a very easy method to manually do this along the timeline by making an edit using the 'dip to color' effect in FC.  Place a cut in your piece of film, insert the dip to color transition, change the time duration to something like 10 frames (1/3 of a second), and make the color white.  Here is a video turtorial that demonstrates this effect along with a few others.

  • Automaticlly grabbing screen shots in Final Cut Pro 7

    I am trying to find a faster way to grab screen shots on Final Cut Pro 7. Is there anyway to set it to do this automatically in the main viewer? Can I set the time?
    Thanks!

    Final Cut Pro does not make screenshots of itself.
    On a Mac, pressing Shift, command and 3 will take a picture of the screen in any application.
    There is screen capture software that will make a video clip which can be edited. [iShowU|http://www.shinywhitebox.com/ishowuhd/main.html] is one example.
    It would help if you were to describe exactly what it is that you want to achieve.

  • URGENT! Flash to Final Cut Pro and back

    Hi,
    I'm working on my final film for school and it relies on some
    simple animation to get the story across. I'm familiar with Flash,
    so I thought I would do it that way.
    I exported the clip I wanted to animate over from FCP as a
    Quicktime (as a Final Cut Quicktime, not a compressed one) and
    imported that into Flash, animated over it and exported that clip
    as a DV Quicktime, and imported that back into FCP. Everything
    looked great on my computer and even okay on DVD, but when I
    printed to DV tape and watched it on a big screen (the same size on
    which it will be shown next Tuesday at the final screening) the
    clips that had animation in them looked pixelated. Not the
    animation itself, but the video behind the animation.
    So...I need to know how to properly import video into flash
    that is DV quality. I imported it as ebedded, highest quality, but
    i don't know what to do about keyframes, so that may be the issue.
    And i know I'm exporting it properly, because even on a huge screen
    the little animations looked great, but the video behind them did
    not. So I figure it's a problem with how I imported the video into
    Flash. I tried exporting from FCP as a Quicktime DV Stream (using
    Quicktime conversion) but that didn't make a difference.
    Is there any way I can just export the animation (without the
    video), and layer it over the video in FCP or After Effects or
    something? Can I set the background of a Flash document (exported
    as Quicktime) as transparent?
    Please somebody help, I've worked SO HARD on this thing and
    if it looks like crap on Tuesday I'm seriously going to cry.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    I am having trouble importing an swf into fcp. How is this done?

  • Screen Shot with Final Cut Pro???

    does final cut have like a screen shot deal. what i am trying to do is take a screen shot or freeze a frame of video and make it a JPG. and i havent figured it out. am i calling it a different name than what it is. i have just started with Final cut. so i am a newbie

    If you want a shot of your screen or even just a section of it, you can use Grab.
    If you want to export a still frame of a video clip from FCP that you can use in other programs (Photoshop, etc), park the FCP playhead on the frame you want and then go to File->Export->Using QuickTime Conversion. Choose "Still Image" from the Format menu and then choose the file type from the Options menu.

  • Dv gray squares blank screen Kona LH final cut pro iTunes

    KONA/AJA conflict with FCP
    If anyone outputs their system's sound through a KONA LH card and AJA KL breakout box, it causes gray squares and then the video output goes fully blank when outputing via FireWire / DV to a deck.
    I noticed that this problem only occurs when I run iTunes at the same time as FCP. If I change the system sound to the internal speakers (and not the KONA/AJA card), the problem disappears.
    I know this is a third party product, but if there are any suggestions to prevent this, it would be appreciated (other than not doing what I am doing--of course . . .

  • How to install Final Cut Pro on 2 computers with a multiple user license

    Our church purchased a multiple user copy of Final Cut Pro, and the music minister who bought it downloaded it onto his computer.  I need to get a copy onto my computer - but he doesn't know what I need to do to get a copy onto mine.  Do I have to have him log into ITunes on my computer to download it  - or is there just a file that downloaded onto his that I can get - or what?  I have seen some discussion of their being certificates for using it that he should have received - but he doesn't remember if he has anything.  Any assistance here would be appreciated - in the Final Cut Pro site it is very unclear.  Thanks in advance.

    I don't know what the procedure is to download it from Apple but you can speed things up by simply copying the FCP X  app across to your computer using either a hard drive or memory stick.

  • Can I use a blue screen with Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi, I am at a school that uses Macbooks and has just purchased a blue screen (with lighting).  I am new at chromakey / blue screening.  I know that you can use iMovie for green screens, but could somebody please tell me what is a good software to use for a blue screen?  Does Final Cut Pro X work with blue screens?
    If anyone has any advice I would be very grateful!!
    Thanks,
    From Michelle.

    The keyer effect in FCPX works very well with blue screen. Open effects browser and look for Keyer. When you add it to your blue screen clip it will automatically pick up the blue screen and key it out. You also have several controls to fine tune the edges etc.

  • Final Cut Pro, Flash Video Encoder & Flash Player

    Well, let's get started.... I'm getting real frustrated with
    Adobe. I emailed them about this problem two months ago and NEVER
    got a response. This is extremely unacceptable product support. We
    just purchased the Creative Suite Premium two months ago and have
    never gotten Flash Video Encoder to properly encode a Quicktime
    video exported from Final Cut Pro.
    I have heard from a few on the Final Cut Pro forum on
    Creative COW that there is a bug with this issue between Flash and
    Final Cut Pro. Adobe doesn't seem to care if I report it, so that's
    why I am here.
    I create my program as usual, export a Quicktime file (not
    reference video, but a full self-contained Quicktime). BTW, I have
    Quicktime 7.2 on my Mac Pro Quad 3.0 with 8 gig of RAM. I open
    Flash Video Encoder to make my flash files. Import the Quicktime
    and select my settings which are custom. I set it to encode and
    wait for the encoding to be done. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to
    encode a 23 minute program. After the encode is finished, I check
    the Flash file by opening it up. BTW, I also have installed a copy
    of On2 Flix Exporter, which encodes Flash files, too. The On2 Flash
    player is the only player that works. Adobe's Flash player opens
    but it won't open ANY Flash files.
    Has anyone seen this?

    When I try to import it on FCPX it says "None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again." and even on Compressor it either doesn't play and fails to convert, or else it plays only a the audio but once I've completed the process the outputted file doesn't play anything.
    Here's a screenshot at my different attempts to convert it. I managed to get the record the video on VLC, but I can't record the audio so I tried getting only the audio form Compressor as well, but like I said the outputted file doesn't play any audio even though it's as long as the video (36 mins approx.).

  • Exporting a JPEG in 4:3 from video footage in Final Cut pro is impossible

    I'm trying to export a screen grab from final cut pro as a jpg. It's easy to export a jpg image, but as far as I can tell, it is completely impossible to export it as a 4:3 aspect ratio image. My video footage is all 4:3 but all of the jpg images I try to export come out squished into 16:9. This is driving me crazy!
    Here is what I'm doing . . .
    Export >Using Quicktime Conversion >Format (Still Image)
    From their I've tried every setting you can imagine and FCP still obstinately refused to allow me to export a jpg image in it's true proportions.
    Please prove me wrong.

    Awesome! You rock moblie! Thanks a lot for the info. I was wondering why the image proportions were correct in photoshop (ie. 720x480, I thought those were 4:3 dimensions, but I guess it's just resolution?). I adjusted the image in photoshop to be 720x534 pixels and it looks fine now.
    I realize this isn't the smartest question in the world, but why isn't 720x480 a 4:3 aspect ratio? I don't really understand aspect ratio all that well (as you can tell).
    Thanks again!

  • Final Cut Pro 7 issues

    I have just recently upgraded to FCP 7 from 5.1 and I am having multiple problems with it. The main issue is that when I batch capture from My Panasonic DVX100 using 24p advanced pull-down the video on my computer after capture is out of sync by half a second to a second out of sync with the audio. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Final cut studio multiple times first with app zapper and more recently with FCS Remover and it still has multiple issues that make final cut pro largely unusable. So Does any one have any advice as to go about fixing it?

    Used to be, Apple included the DVX100 sync fixer file on the install disc. Did you look to see if it's still included or not? Here is an explanation from back in the FCP5 days:

  • How do I achieve a high quality PAL SD DVD from Final Cut Pro?

    From a PMW-EX1 camera file edited in Final Cut Pro I am unable to produce a high quality PAL SD DVD using compressor and DVD Studio Pro (tried multiple combinations).
    Using Final cut pro and Magic iDVD I can achieve a high quality SD DVD with no changes in export.But am limited to the iDVD restrictions.
    From discussions it appears using compressor and DVD Studio pro it is not achievable, it is very frustrating that the Apple product you have to buy is not as efficient as the free one?
    If not possible then how do I access the encoded file from IDVD?
    My Final cut pro sequence settings:
    General - Aspect ratio: HDTV 1080i (16:9) 1920x1080, square and upper(Odd)
    Quicktime video settings compressor: xdcam ex 1080i50 (35 mb/s vbr)

    iDVD does everything automatically for you. With DVDSP and Compressor, all steps must be done correctly. The trade off is that you achieve better quality using Compressor over iDVD.
    1. First thing to do is export your sequence as an uncompressed interlaced 25i 720 x 576 16x9 Anamorphic QT.
    2. Determine your optimal bitrate by using a bitrate calculator. Here's a good one. Remember you need to account for all video on the disc, including motion menus.
    http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm
    3. Bring your down converted QT into Compressor and use the manual settings set your bitrate. Also encode out a Dolby digital AC3 file. These files take up less bandwidth than uncompressed audio. Also remember to match your upper fiiled dominate filed order as well in Compressor. This must be consistent throughout the export and encoding stages.
    4. bring your encoded video and audio files into DVDSP and author

  • No share option on final cut pro x

    I have NO SHARE option on the top left side of my screen while using Final cut pro x!!! I've watched tutorials on "how to export from FCPX" but I can't even click that field because I DON'T HAVE IT...

  • Dvd created in final cut pro not working

    I have created multiple Dvd's in Final Cut Pro X and never seem to have a problem. Yet with my most recent project I've run into a problem. The created Dvd's will not play on any of our dvd players, blue ray or regular player. The error message I am getting on some of them is "region not supported". But they will play on any Pc or Mac I insert them in. I burned the Dvd using the dvd function in Final Cut.
    Any advise?

    For copy-protection reasons, DVDs (the video ones) have a regional "code" - for example, North America is region 1, and Europe is 2 (grosso modo). Computers for the most part ignore this, but common DVD players don't - so a region 1 player refuses to play region 2 discs, etc.
    In old times, I remember that DVD drives that came with Macs were set to some region (presumably according to where they were bought), and there was a way to change it, but you were limited to some 5 changes, after which the drive would be locked at whatever "region" it was in. I don't remember how that region was changed, but it does look like the region associated with the DVD drive in your mac did indeed change, so as to make it different from your local one.

  • Can i legally use screen captures of final cut in online tutorials?

    hello,
        I want to know if I will be in any trouble for using video screen captures of final cut pro in my online tutorials.

    I've done dozens of tutorials...and there are hundreds more that use FCP, as well as other professional apps...no problems.  The software makers don't care if you do this.  Teaching people how to use their software only helps them sell more copies.

  • Multiple Color Screens in iMovie or Final Cut Pro?

    So I am doing some video editing for a project at school. I am using a green screen as a background. I wrapped some things in blue duct-tape in order to blue-screen them. Is there anyway I can use both a blue screen and a green screen in one clip? I have iMovie and Final Cut Pro. I am new to Final Cut Pro so I am not 100% sure about all of its features. If these programs cannot, are there any movie editing programs that do? Thanks for your time. My goal is to have a green screened background while blue screening fake swords and stuff to make them look "light-sabery".

    does your hardware fullfill the min. specs. for any of both apps...?
    and, why not FCE4 .. 199$?
    socalled Ken Burns Effect/KB is done more intutive (=convenient) in iM.. have a look: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie-making-29
    soundtracks.. 'options' are limited in iM08, but as owner of iM08 you're allowed a free download of iMHD6.. which offers 2.5 audio tracks..
    zoom-in is part of KB..
    fade=transition .. iM08, iMHD6, FCP/E...
    +mix video with a still in one corner or vica versa+ no in iMHD6, yepp in iM08, for sure in FCE/P
    what is your delivery media...? DVD quality is in iM08 less than in others apps.. therefor, integration into .mac is in iM08 better..
    consider usage of a 3rd party, specialized app as Photo2Movie or PhotoMagico..
