Need best Easy Setup

What is the best Easy Setup in FCE HD for the following:
Video Codec: AVCHD 720p 60FPS
The closest I come to this is HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30.
Is this is the best setup would the frame rate be problematic with the video codec at 60FPS and the Easy setup showing only 30?

As it is a totally different app, vaguely similar to the latest iMovie but with more power than all the previous FCPs you will probably need to learn how to use it.
If so go to Izzy Video where you can watch/download over 2 hours of free video tutorials.

  • Project due soon. Need best Easy Setup Choice with limited drive space

    Help!
    I have three six minute videos due by 3/22. I am just beginning with FCP. Here's my question...
    My media drive has 300gig available. With approximately 250 minutes of source material to digitize I fear I may run too low on space capturing uncompressed. I am digitizing with the AJA IO. My source material is 90 percent Beta, and 10 percent MiniDV from a GL2 via firewire.
    Should I …..
    A) use the “Offline RT NTSC”setting and then redigitize only the sequence material needed? When I try this, I get a warning that reads; “UNABLE TO LOCATE EXTERNAL DEVIVE…APPLE FIRE WIRE 720X480”.
    B) use "AJA IO – NTSC 8 bit to Offline RT". Since my show will be projected, I really would like the end result to be as high quality as possible. However, when I use this setting, my footage is unrendered in my time line. When I confirm the settings under AUDIO/VIDEO SETTINGS, the Capture setting reads: AJA-IO ypbpr Betacam 8-bit NTSC US to Offline NTSC (Photo JPEG)”
    What am I doing wrong? I hope I explained this well. I’m confusing myself at this point.
    Thank you

  • Best Easy Setup for 1080p?

    Just got the new Canon and it captures video in 1080p H.264 Quicktime files. What is the best Easy Setup option since none match exactly to the captured format? The Apple Intermediate Codec at 720p seems to be the most accurate, is there an upgrade available to natively work with the 1080p files? To avoid excessive rendering, is it better to convert the original files in Quicktime Pro to another format? Final use will be to put on a DVD.

    You can't use this camera with FCE without converting the material. Canon tried hard to make a great little video camera, but stupidly, in my view, chose to record at 30fps. Also it's in a H.264 proprietary video format that has to be converted to work smoothly in Final Cut.
    You could use the QT pro player to convert it, or import and export from FCE. Not sure well i would handle the frame rate conversion which can be tricky. FCP will do a better job as you can work in ProRes or ProResHQ.

  • Best "Easy Setup" for AVCHD .mts files

    I'm on a MacBook Pro in 10.5.8 with FCP 7, all footage is shot by a Canon HF S100 at 1920x1080 60i. Is there a best way to set up the Easy Setup for the AVCHD files?
    I currently have it as:
    Format: (all)
    Rate: (all rates)
    Use: Custom Setup
    Sequence Preset: HDV 1080i60
    Capture Preset: HDV Apple ProRes 422
    Device Control: non-controllable device
    Video Playback: none
    Audio Playback: Default.
    Is there a better way to do it than this?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Yup,
    It costs but it's supposed to be very worth it on saved time and trouble.
    http://www.clipwrap.com
    From the website:
    rewraps - doesn't transcode
    ClipWrap rewraps the video samples from your existing m2t, mts, m2ts files without re-encoding them. This means blazingly fast convert speeds and no image degradation.
    Transcodes too!
    Need your files in ProRes, AIC, DNxHD or DVCProHD? ClipWrap can seamlessly convert your files. Don't worry about frame size changes, gamma shifts, or any of the other problems resulting from mismatched settings - ClipWrap chooses all those based on the source file's format.
    Automatic format detection
    ClipWrap speaks your camera's language so you don't have to. It automatically parses the file's format and chooses the proper output format, so there's no hassle trying to determine the proper settings (frame rate, image size, gamma levels, etc).
    Full timecode support
    Timecode is recreated in the new QuickTime movie, so you can recapture from tape later if necessary.
    Supports HDV and AVCHD formats
    Now you're not limited to specific HDV or AVCHD cameras, you can rest assured your files will be compatible with FCP when it comes time to edit.

  • What is the Best Easy Setup options on FCE 4 for Sony DCR-VX2000E PAL?

    Could someone please advise which options I should select in the easy set up box in Final Cut Express 4?
    Camera in use is:
    SONY DCR-VX2000E PAL.
    There are a few different options... either DV PAL.. or DV PAL with various options next to it.. and i don't know what they all mean and which one applies to my camera.
    I would like to select the best options in terms of playback quality once the edit is complete. I understand the export has a part to play at that point but i'm at the beginning and need to know what to select at this first hurdle...
    PLEASE PLEASE could someone shed some light???
    thank you....

    I have the same (fantastic) cam (from 2000 and use still the same batteries!) and use DV-pal DV Converter. Now it is also possible to capture direct from camera (thus no tape running!) that save time. In iMovie you can do the same but after ending the direct-capture, iMovie need a lot of time to make thumbnals. Or, when you pause for a while and want to go further you have to wait for very long if you direct recording/capturing was long too! Sometimes is that not possible!
    Succes!

  • What is the best easy setup for d600 nikon. and what is the best export for hd movie, 11 min ?

    i'm exporting my movie in mpeg4, 1960X1080, for streaming.
    all the movie is going well, but there is some cubes in the sky, and also, some frames jumpes.
    I treid few times, but its always the same.
    Thank you,Lena

    You should transcode the Nikon clips to Pro Res 422 before you import them to your project. That can be done in Compressor or MPEG Streamclip. Let FCP automatically determine the best sequence settings, based on your first clip.   Export your project as Quick Time Movie, current settings. If you need an MP4 with h.264, MPEG Streamclip can make it for you.

  • What's the best FCP6 easy setup for HD shot on Canon XHA1?

    Hi, I'm sorry to ask such a novice question, but I want to make sure I'm starting correctly. Anyone have advice on the best easy setup to use for a project that will be predominantly footage shot in HD at 30P on the Canon XH-A1? It will also include a little bit of HD footage shot through a Canon 5D markii, but I think I understand how to bring those clips in later using log and transfer and the appropriate Canon EOS codec deal.
    I'm just still not sure of the difference between HDV, DVCPRO HD, and all those other easy presets that are listed out...
    thanks much!
    -Sarah

    I tried to search through other threads before posting my question, but I guess I didn't come across yours.
    It was in response to your other question on the forums... So it was an answer directly to you.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2486111&tstart=0
    As for your other question, that I also answered...use the camera if you want to shoot 30F or 24F, or shoot 60i and use the deck. Those are your choices. There is no deck that deals with Canon's F format...and they don't make decks. Silly stupid.

  • "Easy Setup" Question:   best setting?

    Howdy. I'm creating video with my HD Kodak Zi6 and the output looks a bit squished. (I'm fatter than usual.)
    I've had this trouble before and suspect that I have the wrong setting checked in Easy Set Up.
    What do you folks recommend?
    Thanks.
    Brad in Denver

    Hey Tom, I've been reading a lot of your posts on this forum advising not to get the Zi6 if you want to edit in FCE, but I bought the camera before I found them. I was meaning to ask why this is a bad camera to use, because I've been able to open and edit footage in FCE as well. By going to File > import. I used the easy setup:
    Format - HD, Rate - 29.97, Use -HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30
    Here is a link to a few clips thrown together with some transitions. I don't really know what I'm doing, so, it's terrible. (You've been warned)
    http://www.vimeo.com/3956558
    I'm really thinking about returning this camera though if it is terrible to pair with FCE, because the only reason I got it was to start learning FCE. I only have 2 days left to return it though. So I need to figure it out real quick. Do you think I should pay the restocking fee and get a cheap used DV camera off amazon/ebay etc?
    Appreciate all your help and posts.

  • I have converted m2ts files to .mov to edit in FCE (4.0.1) When I drag the clips into the timeline they need rendering, as much as a minute for a 30 sec. clip. Is this normal? I am using OS 10 . My easy setup is apple intermediate codec, 720p30. Any help

    I have converted m2ts files to .mov in streamclip,  for editing in fce 4.0.1. When I drag them into the fce timeline the clips need rendering, as much as a minute for a 30 second clip. Is this normal? My OS is 10.6.8. My easy setup in fce is apple intermediate codec 720p30. Any advice to avoid the rendereng would be helpful. Ann

    To what codec, frame size & frame rate did you convert the files in Streamclip?
    If it isn't AIC 720p30, you'll need to render.

  • Need easy setup file?

    I have just installed FCE on a new harddrive. When I open the application I get the following message:
    Unable to start Final Cut Express HD. You must have at least 1 Easy Setup file. Please re-install Final Cut Express HD and try again.
    I've tried re-installing about a bajillion times, with multiple install disks and licenses. What up with this??

    I am having the same exact problem. Were you able to resolve this problem? (problem of Final Cut Express not starting up because it can not find a setup file.)

  • How to create custom Easy Setups in Final Cut Express 4

    I've been searching the web hours on end trying to find an answer to this question. Basically, here's the deal. I have a whole bunch of clips in 720p HD, at 60 fps with some other custom settings that aren't supported by Apple's default easy setups. I need a way to edit or create an easy setup to fit my needs for editing this type of video.
    Thanks for any help,
    Justin

    JTK-
    If you want to create your own easy setup configurations you will need Final Cut Pro (in Final Cut Studio).
    FCE is designed to handle DV (NTSC or PAL) and Apple Intermediate Codec. (HDV and AVCHD are transcoded to Apple Intermediate Codec during capture.) Regarding high def video, FCE is designed to work with 720p30, 1080i50 and 1080i60.
    Generally it's best to convert nonstandard video to QuickTime using one of the above codecs before importing the video into FCE.

  • Easy setup FCE 4 and mpeg stream clip

    Hi, i need an help for import my videocamera video. I use samsung MHX H200SP/EDC and i obtain a MP4 PAL 1280x720 50fps clip. I try to use MPEG streamclip to convert in something not to be rendered fo FCE the i import it into FCE.
    Could someone tell me which set up use in MPEG streamclip and in esasy setup for FCE?
    I would like to obtain max quality (doesn't matter space on HD)
    I tried in this way
    MPEG streamclip conversion:
    Apple Intermediate Codec
    100% quality
    1280x720 (16:9, no scaling, HDTV 720p? which one?)
    shoud i choose "interlaced scaling"?
    other way?
    in easy set up for FCE i tried:
    Apple Intermediate Codec
    AVCHD Apple Itermediate Codec 1920x1080i50
    rate 25 fps
    is it right? which one should i use?
    best regards everybody
    Filippo

    The MHX H200SP/EDC saves video as MP4/H.264 files and it appears you used 1280x720p as your setting in the camera.
    In that case, in MPEG Streamclip, convert the clips to:
    QuickTime
    Apple Intermediate Codec
    1280x720 (HDTV 720p)
    UNcheck the option called "Interlaced scaling"  (because you have progressive video)
    In FCE, select the HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 720p25 Easy Setup.   Then create a new Sequence.  Then import your converted clip(s).

  • Easy Setup for PAL

    Hi,
    I am using a JVC GZ-HD 7 Everio in Switzerland and I am filming in 1440CBR PAL and downloading with a firewire directly to FCE 4, and I setup my Easy Setup to Format:HD / Rate:(all rates) / Use: HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50.
    Is this a good setup or should I choose something different ( I am looking for the best quality possible since I am selling Gym DVDs)

  • Easy Setup and Audio Video Settings (FCP7)

    Hello,
    I am a newbie editor in fcp 7. in fact, I´m newbie on pos production. I´ve been working and editing less than a year (Premiere Pro)
    Now I am using FCP7 (and FCPX) but my question is...in fcp7, why do I need Audio/Video Settings and Easy Setup if
    final cut has open format sequences?
    thx

    Well, strictly speaking on FCP 7 and earlier (since this particular forum is for older FCP...not FCX)...yes, you do.  You need to choose the Easy Setup that matches the footage you are using.  If you have multiple formats, try to convert the footage to a single format.  Don't belive this Apple marketting about "open format sequences."
    There are some exceptions...like you can have ProRes footage, and a ProRes sequence...and also edit in HDV or XDCAM footage in that. IN fact, it's best to edit HDV and XDCAM as ProRes.  Don't have an XDCAM sequence setting and edit ProRes into that...XDCAM is inferior to ProRes.
    Also...don't edit may formats natively.  Meaning H.264, MP4, AVCHD...there are many formats that FCP just doesn't work with properly. FCX will even ask to "optimize" the media...meaning convert to ProRes.  FCP 7 is a different beast than Adobe Premiere Pro. PPro will allow you to edit formats natively...it's designed to do that. FCP 7 is not....and that's a pretty important difference to know. FCP 7 wants media to be in FCP editing codecs before you start...such as ProRes.
