New iPod Touch-want to load videos created using Final Cut Studio

I'm unable to transfer movies I create on my Mac into the iPod Touch. I'm assuming all transfers to the iPod need to go through iTunes - is this correct?
I created a video in Final Cut Pro, then compressed two versions of podcasts in Compressor.
H.264 for iPod video and iPhone 320x320(QVGA)
H.264 for iPod video and iPhone 640x640(QVGA)
I then dragged them into iTunes library, thinking they would go into the Podcast folder, but instead they went to the Movie folder.
I synced to the iPod, and they fail to transfer/load. I then selected "Create iPod or iPhone Version" from the iTunes "Advanced" menu in case there was some file issue, but was unsuccessful in dragging it to the Podcast folder.
Does the iPod Touch sync up to all iTune's folders, or, is it limited to what's in the Podcast folder?
Is there a utility that exists to verify the video files are of the correct format.
Are there other steps I am missing?

For anyone else in the same situation - videos created in Final Cut Pro and compressed using either of the Compressor settings will create podcasts that can be synced up and play on the iPod Touch,
The problem was the "Sync Movies" setting - it was disabled. The challenge was finding the settings, and wouldn't have been an issue prior to release of version 3.0 software upgrade notice.
The "Sync" settings were where I first looked, from within iTunes, but as I said, the device settings were being hidden by an "Apple commercial" for the version 3.0 software upgrade - once I clicked on "Remind Me Later" I was able to see the 8 tabbed configuration screen. I guess marketing trumps usability.

  • General Overview on How to use Final Cut Studio to create a Blu-Ray DVD

    I am a new user of Final Cut Studio and need an experienced user to give my a progression guide on how to create a Blu-Ray DVD of my recent Alaska Trip. Last month I spend 8 days in Alaska visiting Denali and Juneau primarily. During that time I took about 100 short video clips (HD 1080p) and 570+ still photos with my Canon 7D. I have experimented with some pieces of the software and have created a Blu-Ray disk using Final Cut Pro and Compressor. However my goal is to create this DVD with menus that will play short clips (some narrated) and still photos(also some narration). I did a short one in DVD Studio Pro this morning but need some general guidance on what progression and programs to use to create this project. I was not able to take my video from the Studio Pro Sequence I created for my 1st DVD I had to take the original clips which were processed using Apple ProRes 422 and copy them in one at a time and then find the audio (on the voice overs) I created and also place them into DVD Studio Pro one at a time. I obviously need some guidance on the proper progression.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's the situation...
    DVD Studio Pro will not do the trick for you - it doesn't do blu-ray discs. If you want to do Blu-ray you've got to use either Final Cut Pro's "Export" command or Compressor's "Burn Blu-ray disc" template. The downside to both of these approaches is that you can't burn more than one title (or movie, etc.) using Final Cut Studio.
    To do what you want to do, you need Toast (at least). Toast will auto-generate menus but will let you put more than one title per slide (so you can put multiple slideshows on the same disc).
    If you want to do full-on customizing of menus and multi-level menus, for that you need Adobe's Encore.
    My suggestion - Get Toast. Encore is close to $800.
    Here's your progression (at least the one I use).
    Edit in Final Cut Pro (ProRes 422 is fine, ProRes 422 LT would do the trick as well)
    Export as QuickTime movies (original settings)
    In Compressor using the H.264 for Blu-ray setting and Dolby Digital setting and create elementary streams for video (.264 file) and audio (.ac3). Make sure these files have identical names except for the extension.
    Using toast, add the video file to the Toast project and it'll find the audio file.
    Burn away!

  • New iPod touch will not load app store or iTunes.....safari is working fine. Also software update says it is going to take 49 hours??? Can anyone help?

    My new iPod touch is not letting me open the app store or iTunes. Safari is working fine. Also my iPad and iPhone are working fine. Wifi is connected. The software update is also taking forever on iPod, it says it will take 49 hours. Should it take that long? I have tried resetting, turning on and off, making date and time right etc. the first day we got the iPod touch the app store worked but not since.

    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Typically, the download speeds up. You can try when connected to another network

  • Live Type not loaded when I loded Final Cut Studio

    I just upgraded to a Mac Pro from an i Mac. I loaded Final Cut Studio and Live Type was not loaded I do not see it in my applications folder. Do I have to reload the whole Final Cut app. or can I load Live Type only. If so from which disc would I have to load Live Type ?

    You can install it from and older version of FCP. Run the installer and it will tell you which discs to load.

  • New iPod touch just stopped playing videos

    I just got my iPod touch last night and it has been perfect till just now. The mail program froze and after I reset the iPod it won't play video. Not YouTube or ones I uploaded from iTunes. It stays on the opening image, has no sound and won't turn to landscape but says it is playing. I tried reseting it again but no go. Haven't tried connecting to the computer yet but will when I have access. The iPod was being charged with the Apple USB charger when it happened if that means anything.

    I just figured it out. The charger was making it go to tv on. Duh

  • Want to install MY copy of Final Cut Studio & change Name & Serials

    I want to install my personal copy of FCP onto an iMac I just purchased, but every time I restart it still says old name and old registration number. Tried deleting Library/Application Support/ProApps/Final Cut System ID....but still won't let me change registration info???

    I'm confused.
    You did a clean install of Final Cut Pro on a new iMac, and some other name and serial number comes up?
    That's not possible.

  • HT1689 I keep getting booted out of the itunes store on my brand new iPod touch.  What can I do to fix the problem?

    I just got my son a new iPod touch and he is trying to use the itunes store but it keeps booting him out and back to the main screen with all of his apps on it.  I've tried it myself several times and it does it to me as well.  I have an iPhone and have never had this issue.  Does anyone know what the issue is?  He is not thinking this is the greatest Christmas present at this point.

    Hi Sam From ME,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would suggest restarting your iPhone and seeing if the issue continues, and if it does, try resetting your iPhone as well:

  • Connecting new iPod Touch to stereo or car using 1/8" auxiliary cable

    I am having troubles connecting my new iPod Touch to my stereo and car using a 1/8" auxiliary cable. I plugged the cable into the headphone port on the iPod Touch (just as I always do with my iPod nano) and no sound comes out. The headphone port works fine when I have my earbuds plugged in. I have tried two different cables that both worked with other devices (a nano and a XM radio). Am I missing something? Is there a special cable that I should be using?
    Appreciate any help that you can give me. Thanks!

    I feel really stupid now...I didn't realize the volume had to be ALL the way up! Thanks.

  • Comparing video quality of AVCHD BluRay discs using Final Cut Pro Share vs Compressor

    Up front, I will admit to being a newbie when it comes to using Final Cut Studio 3 and would appreciate some feedback from the Apple forum experts.
    I have spent a lot of time trying to determine how to achieve an optimum group of Compressor 3.5.2 settings so that the playback video quality of an AVCHD BluRay disc is equal to or better than one created by using the simpler auto settings of FCPro Share, version 7.0.2.
    When using Compressor’s auto/default maximum settings, I experienced the same error message reported in:
    Error MessageDuring Creation of Blu-ray Disc in FCP and Compressor 3.5
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12073794#12073794
    I have since made some Compressor AVCHD Discs with smaller bit rate settings and compared video quality with a single FCP Share AVCHD disc.  Both seem to be equal in providing a very good video when viewed on my new Panasonic DMP BDT 310 BluRay player. However, the Compressor AVCHD discs show some motion artifacts not present with the FCPro Share version, especially when scrolling text or when objects are moving through the field of view, and visible artifacts are seen from a stationary chain link fence and other lattice work in the background of the video sample.
    My sample video used for the comparisons between Compressor and FCP Share discs is a 21 minute duration home movie, originally captured from a mini DV, Canon HV30 1080i camcorder using ProRes HQ encoding(1440x1080), and dragged into FC Pro 7.0.2 timeline where 10 chapter markers have been inserted. 
    To create an AVCHD disc using FCPro Share, Markers are used to set the IN and OUT points, Select IN to OUT from the timeline, pull down File Menu Share, Select Create BluRay from options in pop out Share pane, and designate output device along with picture files for Background, Logo, and Title options. When these are completed, click on Export.  My 21-minute video required almost two hours for encoding including about 10 minutes for burning. This accomplished on an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    To prepare this same 21-minute video for use with Compressor, I again Select IN to Out from the FCPro timeline, but this time use File Export as a QuickTime Self Contained movie including Chapter markers. Then Open Compressor, choose Create BluRay from Template pane, right click on the down arrow in the Batch window and load the QT self contained movie file. From there I went to the Inspector window and tried various combinations of bit rate settings along with Frame Encoder options such as Better or Best motion parameter controls.
    I have tried the following combinations of Bit rate settings along with varying Frame Encoder controls and burned an AVCHD disc for each example:
    Example A
    Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings OFF. Approximately 4 hours to encode although the time remaining estimator indicated a larger value of ~7 hours; not an accurate estimator at all. 
    Example B
    Compressor set to 6 Mbps Average and 8Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motionadaptive)” settings. Approximately 4 hours to encode, not the 13 hours that were estimated.
    Conclusion: Comparing A & B Compressor versions, Disc B showed some improvements in reducing motion artifacts over Disc A.
    Example C
    Compressor set to 13 Mbps Average and 15 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. DeInterlace was checked. Unknown hours to encode; about 8 hours done overnight..
    Conclusion: Disc C showed some minor improvements reducing motion artifacts over Disc B
    Example D
    Compressor Auto settings,i.e., 15 Mbps Average and 17 Mbps Maximum, Frame Encoder settings ON, using “Better (Linear Filter) and Better (Motion adaptive)” settings. Multipass checked. Approximately 12 hours to encode, done overnight. Inserted disc next morning after the overnight encoding was completed, and a few minutes later an error message pane appeared that the maximum bit rate had been exceeded.  This message was consistent with the Apple posted thread referenced above. Unfortunately the long overnight encoding was wasted.
    It seemed to me that the best Compressor settings for suppressing the motion artifacts were displayed by the disc burned in Example C, i.e.,  13/15 Ave/Max Mbps with“Better” Motion settings in the Frame Encoder.
    However, when this disc was compared to the AVCHD Disc burned using the FCPro Share, the latter still seemed much better. I do not know what the auto bit rate values are as set in FC Pro, but for me, the quality is quite good AND the motion artifacts are significantly reduced, especially evident with the scrolling text.
    Sorry about this long post, but I thought the detail would be necessary for the experts, and maybe helpful to others trying to get started in this BluRay arena.  Did I misuse Compressor?  I think the sample video exported as a self contained QT movie was the right thing to do?  Not sure where I went wrong.
    Thanks in advance for Feedback and Recommendations.  For now, I’m going to stay with the simpler process using Final Cut Pro Share function.
    BoBo

    Thank You, Brad, for responding;  glad to hear I'm not the only one having similar Compressor issues.  
    You may have hit on something.  Perhaps Compressor's use of H.264 encoding was the reason for my motion artifacts?  And perhaps Final Cut Pro Share retains the 1440x1080 quality as it burns the AVCHD BluRay disc?
    I had Toast 10 for less than 30 days a couple of years ago, and was lucky to get a refund.
    What version of Toast do you have?  Wondering if new Toast 11 has improved previous bugs, especially upgrading its Chapter text, pictures, music.  I would go back to Toast if it came close to mirroring DVD Studio Pro, or even iDVD capabilities.
    Thanks,
    BoBo

  • Creating in Final Cut and hosting on a Windows streaming media Server

    Is it possible to host video files created in Final Cut Studio 2 and host them on Windows Server 2003 Streaming Media Server? If yes what format should I render the video? H.264?

    hey there integron, welcome to Discussions!
    it should be possible to do what you want w/ the purchase of the additional components of "Flip4Mac" to convert FCP's QT movie to WMV or AVI movie. there's more info on the license & converting @ the "Flip4Mac" 'site--http://www.flip4mac.com/

  • Does new MacBookPro 13" (Apr2010) run all Final Cut Studio applications?

    Does the new MacBookPro 13" (April 2010) run all Final Cut Studio applications, and reasonably well?
    I've looked at the FCS specs, CPU, RAM and hard disc minimums are more than satisfied with the MBP 13".
    Now that the 13" has a discreet Nvidia (albeit sharing memory with main RAM) graphics card, that requirement is also satisfied.
    The Color app needs a screen resolution of at least 1680x1050: Is this really a hard requirement?
    i.e. will the Color app exit with an error message saying not supported at this resolution or will it work but with less space for items in its user interface? For example Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 used to say minimum resolutions but I can run it on my Toshiba NB100 netbook at 1024x600 just fine. (BTW as an aside even this 200pound netbook has an eSATA port!)
    Also I intend to use an external 23" 1920x1080 screen plugged into the MBP13" a lot of the time at home.
    Also what about the Core 2 Duo on the 13" versus the i5 dual core hyperthreaded = 4 threads or i7 quad core = 8 threads on the new (Apr2010) 15" and 17" MBPs.
    I intend to capture from solid state flash card, so dropped frames due to slow(is) internal 5400rpm non-raid hard drive capturing from real time playout of tape is not an issue.
    Where would I notice the difference in speed? Where would the MBP 13" run noticeably slower compared with the new 15" and 17"?
    I would expect the entry 2.4Ghz 13" Apr2010 model to run FCS/FCP reasonably well, given that people have coped with this sort of spec in the past.
    As long as editing works reasonably smoothly on the 13" MPB, e.g. I can go backwards and forwards through my work, preview multiple tracks/effects (at lower resolution, if necessary - by using RTExtreme feature with ProRes422Proxy) and then leave it render to maximum high quality overnight, then I would be happy.
    The smaller size of the 13" and lower cost make it more attractive to gain a more rounded cross platform skillset by entering into the Mac scene and for future opportunities requiring those skills.
    The benefits buying a higher end notebook diminish against cost and increasing screen size (more to carry around), also that only the cumbersome (IMHO) 17" has ExpressCard34 for SATA input.

    Thanks for your quick response and for the reassurance, my responses back...

    What sorts of things did you want to work on?
    {quote}
    Music videos, small projects to start with. I've come from working with Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 on Windows XP on a 30minute documentary that took 18months part and fulltime to produce with 3 staff (http://www.youtube.com/mediamotioninvision for a clip of it). I feel the next level up would be to work with what many professionals are using: Final Cut Studio, as I was told at Cannes Film Festival in 2009. So to progress my craft I want to develop the skillset of the professionals.
    {quote:title=NLEdit wrote:}
    You also have to consider the i/o issue. How will you get footage in and out of the machine to an external drive and from a firewire camera if you go that route?
    {quote}
    Many film/video cameras, both low end/entry level consumer prosumer and higher end professional are recording onto solid state flash memory cards, e.g. SD. So transferring from that into the notebook is straightforward. This used to be more of an issue with tape-based cameras, as the footage transfer was real time and dropped frames could occur if the host recieving notebook could not handle the amount of data be sent from the camera, e.g due to slow hard drive/bus.
    That said, even though solid state media eliminates the problem of dropped frames due to real time transfer of tape, it is a profound crying shame of a misguided decision that Apple decided to omit the ExpressCard34 interface (and therefore block high-speed eSATA/RAID hard drive options) from the 'Pro' range of 13" and 15" MacBookPros and reserve it for the 17", when the equivalent Windows notebooks have this for half the price.
    So I'm reluctant to invest more money in a higher spec machine 1) because of limited budget 2) but also the higher spec 15" appears to be sadly unbalanced in that there is up to quad core of processing power etc but a lacking in external interfaces i.e. maximum of FireWire 800 for connecting external drives to. More better in my view to spend just enough on a 'sketch' grade notebook, for learning on and reasonable performance and benefit from the smaller size and cost.
    Playback, previewing while editing the work may be a little compromised owing to the throughput of the internal harddrive, but, from my reading, I understand that RTExtreme and ProRes422Proxy technologies can help this situation of limited hard drive bandwidth/transfer rate whereby lower bitrates are used combined with reduction in preview quality to allow smoother playback. That is acceptable to me as long as I can get a good idea of how it looks. I intend to leave it running overnight to do the final maximum high quality render.

  • New user to Final Cut Studio 2

    I am using Final Cut Studio 2 for the first time and I am having a hard time loading video files. I have several quicktime files which won't open in Final Cut and some video I recorded on a camcorder using mini DV tapes which I am also unsure how to import. I cannot figure out what the format of the DV is. As you can tell, I know pretty much nothing about video.... stuff.... I've read the manual for Final Cut (first volume) and my camcorder and neither were helpful for this basic stuff. Any help would be appreciated.
