My macbook pro see my canon HV30, why won't Final Cut Express?

any NEW suggestions?
I have tried trashing the prefs, starting things in different orders....
I am very frustrated.

I had similar problems. Here's what I did, and now it works. Not sure which part made it work, but hopefully this is helpful:
Open FCE HD.
Connect HV30 via Firewire on the back of the HV30.
Make sure HV30 is on and in "Play" mode.
Make sure the screen of the HV30 is closed.
In FCE HD, go Final Cut Express HD > Easy Setup... > DV-NTSC FireWire Basic >Setup.
In FCE HD, go File > Capture...
It seems odd that the screen being open may have caused a problem, but it worked after I closed the screen. Of course, I also fiddled with other things, so who knows?
Good luck.

  • I have a newer MacBook Pro and I am trying to download my Final Cut Pro 7 Studio 2 on it. Is that possible or does the new MacBook Pro not support anything other than Final Cut Pro X?

    As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
    Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
    BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

  • Why does my final cut express movie flicker after i put on disk using idvd

    Why does my final cut express movie flicker after burning to a dvd using idvd.  Its about 90 minutes long.

    Hi
    As Alchroma writes - more info needed.
    FCE/P to iDVD
    Several things
    • How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
    • Free space on Start-up hard disk
    • Encoding
    • Brand and type of DVDs used
    • Burn speed set
    • iDVD BUG
    • Chapters
    How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
    • Disable Screen and Energy saver
    • IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
    • Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
    This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
    Free space on Start-up hard disk
    I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
    Encoding
    • I use Pro Quality encoding
    Brand and type of DVDs used
    • I use Verbatim
    • I use DVD-R
    Burn speed set
    • I set down this to x4 (or x1)
    iDVD BUG
    • One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
    the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
    of them will work.
    Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
    Use of Chapters
    • I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
    • NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
    • No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
    (Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
    Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
    them except at very beginning - still)
    Material used to build movie
    • video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
    • audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
    • photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
    Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
    from post ??
    May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

  • Canon fs200 MOD-File in Final Cut Express 4?

    Hi,
    i use my Canon fs200 which produces MOD files.
    My Computer: Mac
    How can I put them in Final Cut Express 4?
    I didn't find any free converter or something...

    You need MPEG Streamclip to convert the files. The application is free, but the Apple MPEG-2 playback component is not.

  • Canon HV10 Not Recognized By Final Cut Express HD

    Final Cut Express will not initialize my new HV10. iMovie has no problem downloading so I do not believe it is my computer, a Dual 2.3 GHz Power PC. Anyone know if this a problem with the software?
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Not only Canon HV10,
    my Sony HCR-HC3E also has this problem.
    The quality of footage after capture is very poor.
    When I use iMovie to capture the footage,
    iMovie show that it is using the codec 1080i25.
    Final Cut Express HD has not provide this codec,
    only has 1080i50 and 1080i60.
    I have ask about this, the feedback is that there is no
    codec that call 1080i25.
    How can I do?
    There are the samples of my problem.

  • Why won't Final Cut Pro X export in 1080P

    I'm trying to export video in 1080P in Final Cut Pro X 10.1.4. Every time I click the share button it says I'm exporting in 720P. I tried to change it to 1080P and its greyed out. I even tried click share to Apple device in 1080P still 720. I verified all the clips are 1080P. I've never had this problem before its always just done it. Heres a screenshot of the share screen.

    D-OH! Headslapper!
    I have those. Every day. Thanks for posting your solution instead of just letting it go. Hardly anyone closes their threads around here and it really helps those who come after, those looking for similar issues.

  • Why won't final cut pro x import my media anymore?

    I recently encountered a bug with final cut pro x. Previously I have been importing AVCHD files and working with them directly in the application. But, today as I went to import some more of the same footage it acknowledges an import, but nothing shows up in my events folders.
    This is really bizarre. Not only this, but I tried importing a regular .MOV file directly by drag and drop, and via the import button, to no avail.

    I never knew that "/" were part of the Unix code. Thanks for that. As for importing AVCHD video through the application by Cmd-I, I have done that as well. It still doesn't work.
    Here is what I've done:
    And nothing shows up in the event folder.

  • Why won't Final Cut Pro 7 allow me to Shift, Command or Option-select items?

    I am having a major problem with Final Cut Pro 7. I commonly select multiple items using the Shift (⇧), Command (⌘), or Option (⌥) keys. However, just recently it started not allowing me to select multiple items this way. What happens is either the timeline, the slug, or the canvas will play (depending on which one is selected) I didn't change anything on the computer; it just started happening. I even tried reinstalling the whole entire Final Cut Studio. However, the problem still remains. This is a real problem and really is causing major issues for me. How do I fix this!?!? I'm at a loss. I've tried everything that I could think of short of reinstalling the entire OS (which I may end up doing). Can someone help me?

    >I believe that the uninstaller that Digital Rebellion provides (and I used) does, in fact, delete the preferences...
    Of course. DR's FCS Remover does exactly what it says on the tin. Except it does not come in a tin.
    What it does is remove every vestige of any version of Final Cut Studio.
    I ran it on my computer and filled the space that FCS took up by running a script which installed an animated .gif of a dancing banana several times over. Let's be honest. Video editing is a stupid hobby anyway.

  • Why won't Final Cut or Motion render my content properly?

    About 2 months ago I got a new 2013 27" iMac with the upgraded i7 processor, 4GB of VRAM, and 32GB of RAM. I've recently come across a problem with rendering in Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5. In Final Cut when I play back a clip in the event browser or in the timeline before rendering, the clip looks fine. When it's done rendering, though the clip looks like the frames are jumbled and the clip is choppy and unusable. A similar thing happens in Motion 5. When I create a RAM preview, certain parts of the composotion that are moving look almost split, like a really dramatic rolling shutter effect on a bad camera. It also put on random shapes that vary from black and white stripes in a lower corner, or frames that are completely white, or green rectangles in the corners. These appear in any file I export from Motion, too.
    I've tried deleting my Final Cut preferences, but the problem still persists.
    I'm not sure if this is a problem with the software, if the graphics card is fried, or if there's a problem with my RAM.

    I haven't heard of software problems causing those kind of symtoms.
    Try running the Apple Diagnostics test (of the Apple Hardware Test) to see whether it reports something.

  • Why won't final cut pro x upload to youtube?

    why wont my video upload to youtube via the share tab?
    it goes nearly all the way then just stops, regardelss of if its in SD or HD.
    any reason for this? is it because i have the trial version?

    what looks like is happening is: FCPX uploads your video direct* to youtube, then it waits while youtube processes your video. Considering FCPX creates extremely high quality h.264 output for youtube (everything, actually), it can take youtube a relatively extraordinary amount of time to process the upload.
    If you click on Share Monitor, then turn down the disclosure triangle on your Project ("folder") and click on the circled 'i' to the right of the exporting video, you'll see at the bottom of the pop-out XXXX Video Sharing.mov to YouTube  XX% complete (after FCPX hits the ~95% mark).   ...Progress is s...l...o...w...
    From inspecting the log files, it looks like youtube and fcpx are communicating while youtube finishes processing your video. Testing a vid, I went to my youtube video manager page and sure enough, my upload was listed with a (processing...) on it. There is no graphic representation available of the stage of processing like the normal upload page gives.  [Even though YT was indicating that the upload was complete and it was processing - when I cancelled in FCPX (@95% / about 10percent processing on YT's side) - it killed the upload to YT.]
    Whether or not an upload succeeds... well that's a whole other kettle of fish. I don't have the patience to wait it out. Besides, I know how to optimize videos for youtube, and FCPX direct is about...oh... 4 to 5 times overkill... in most cases.
    *the first thing FCPX does is render the project out in H.264 format before uploading... It does not do that "on the fly".

  • Why won't Final Cut Pro X sync multicam clip?

    I am using two Canon 5D mkii cameras and an H4N to make short videos. When I select the clips from camera A and camera B and the H4N and click to make a multicam clip it always tries to sync the camera A and B files onto one angle instead of each camera having it's own angle. My work around right now is to make a multicam clip just using one camera and the audio (which syncs correctly) and then adding an angle and manually syncing the second camera. This wastes so much of my time though. Is there an easier way?

    Try going into the inspector and filling in the "camera name" and "angle" fields for all the clips, then try to create a new Multicam clip again.

  • Why won't final cut pro accept my quicktime files

    I have the final on my computer but when I look quicktime files up via FCPro the icon appear transparent and I can't click on it. In the past I converted them to some IPod playable final but it killed the definition and took forever so I am not doing it again.
    Solutions please?

    It may help if you could post a screen shot (or shots) of what you see – presumably in the Media Import window?
