No Video with FCP HDV with QTP

I have a strange question....
I have an Intel G5 iMac (10.4.11) and I capture and edit with FCP 5.0.4 using a Sony Z1 using the HDV 1080i50 sequence (I live in Hong Kong) I edit the video and export Quicktime movie using my sequence preset HDV 1080i50.
I cannot play the exported video with QTP!!
I hear sound but there is no picture. I only have a white screen!!
I can open this video with FCP and it plays fine!!
I can then take this exported video and transfer it to my G5 dual core tower (10.4.11) and the video plays fine in QTP!
I would really like to be able to use QTP to play these videos! Both the iMac and G5 tower have the exact OSX and FCP. The only difference is one is Intel and the other is PPC! Has anyone had problems playing HDV videos on intel macs?
Any ideas or suggestion?

I've re-installed FCP Studio and the problem still persists....
any ideas?

  • Why does a H264 mov looks better with FCP then with compressor

    Hi all,
    I was wondering why I get better results with making .mov in FCP/ QT Conversion then with Compressor 3.
    I've made a movie in FCP -(XDCam EX1080p 25 (35mb/s VBR). It must be exported to a H264 mov. 480x270. When I export it using FCP/QT Conversion it looks good.
    After exporting a movie with the same settings in FCP ((XDCam EX1080p 25 (35mb/s VBR), I use it in Compressor. But after rendering it looks aliasing, even with the same settings as in FCP.
    I want to work with compressor, so I can still work with FCP when I'm rendering a movie.
    Any ideas?

    does anybody know why?
    In simple terms, in order to edit your footage, iMovie needs a certain amount of data about each frame.
    In the compressed form stored on the all the necessary data isn't present, so the missing pieces have to be filled back in to allow you to edit. This process increases the file size.
    Once you've edited your movie it can then be re-compressed.

  • Loose quality with FCP export with no editing / DVCPRO HD

    Hi.
    I have a big problem with my FCP
    ANY kind of video exported from FCP using same settings in timeline & export as in source,
    is worst then source. Even with no editing.
    Example.
    I simply take source video to timeline then export it with EXPORT / QUICK TIME MOVIE
    and the exported file has visible bigger pixels.
    ( with 'export using QT conversion' / same settings / the same effect )
    please help.

    If you are watching it in Quicktime, make sure you have the high quality setting checked. Apple J, video track, etc..

  • No work space at all when opens. Uninstalled. Re-downloaded from App Store. FCP X opens but still no spaces to work on, just the desktop picture, with FCP showing in the bar

    *** per the title. It looks like the app is opne, but there is nothing to work with. Also when I option click a QT video clip to open with FCPX, FCPX is not highlighted.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for that, but actually you can open a video clip with FCP "Open with ... FCP", have ben doing that for years, as well as import and dragging etc.
    Still nor resolved issue, FCP opens, appears in
    the tool bar, but no canvas, library etc etc, very weird.
    Have uninstalled, re-installed, same problem. And have a stack of work to do.
    **** it.

  • Problem with Print to Video in FCP 6.0

    In the past I have been able to print to video with FCP 5, now not working with FCP 6. My Sony HVR A1U is seen by FCP, I can log & capture no problem. When I go to print to video, the sequence does not show up on my camera LCD and I cannot capture it. I have checked the system profiler and under firewire the camera is listed. In the print to video window I have checked Automatically Start Recording, but this has no effect.
    Thank you for your advice

    Just curious. How do you get your computer too see the HVR. I am using I movie HD and it does not see anything. Is there a camera setup procedure? I looked at the vague manual which was no help.
    Thanks in Advance

  • What is the Definative answer to JVC HDV 24p compatibility with FCP 5.1

    I spoke with JVC yesterday and they claim that the 24p HDV codec is now supported with FCP. I am shooting a PBS piece in two weeks and wonder if it is safe to shoot in 24p HDV with the JVC HD100u. Is there a current state of the craft answer?

  • Help with image clipping with FCP 7 video filters

    Hi there,
         I'm working with an image with text (one jpeg, the other psd), and when I apply a video filter (glow, bloom, or the like) that extends the outside of the image, it clips the edges.
         I've tried expanding the area around the image in photoshop before I import to FCP, but the layer still hugs the image.
          Is there a way to use the effects without clipping the edges?

    The question was; "Are the still images the same pixel dimensions as your Sequence in FCP?"
    Your Sequence in FCP has pixel dimensions.  In SD it would probably be 720x480 or 720x486.  In HD it could be 1280x720 or 1920x1080.  Your still images also have pixel dimensions that could be any number at all.  What I am asking is if the image pixel dimensions are at least the same or larger than your Sequence pixel dimensions.

  • Use standard DV Video out for monitring with HDV Project?

    i got a ADS Pyro AV Link fo Christmas and has a composite/S Video out on the back....and connected the composite to a monitor.....and FCE has a video out option in the View menu....and whenever i select it (with an HDV proj.) it goes from the Pyro's standard color bars to a black screen.... wheever i play my project back in the canvas it still is black? whats wrong? or is it incompatibility?

    That's not going to do what you want. FireWire is only for DV material not for HDV that's been converted to the Apple Intermediate Codec. You can output to HDV via FireWire, but only using the print to video function.

  • Compatability of Sony camcorder HDV SR5 with FCP X

    I have looked at the list of camcorders which will work with Final Cut Pro X and, although the Sony HDV SR10 is there, the SR5 isn't. Does that mean I would waste my money if I downloaded FCP X?
    I have Mountain Lion Version 10.8.5 with 3.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Memory.
    At the moment I am using Final Cut Express 4, which is fine. However, I'm tempted by the enhanced facilities with FCP X.

    The list of cameras is meaningless as it is grossly out of date and only includes a handful of the thousands of available camcorders.
    All DV and HDV tape cameras together with SDHC cameras will work with FCP X.
    In any case you can download a free 30 day trial from
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/trial/
    Note that you may need to update your operating system as I believe the latest version of FCP X needs Mavericks or Yosemite.

  • What HDV model will fit with fcp HD 4.5?

    Hi to all of you there. I own fcp 4.5 and upgraded it to the hd version. Now i want to buy a hdv camera. I saw that sony is selling the hdr-hc3 model. Will this camera work with my version of fcp? If not, what model will work? Do i have to upgrade fcp again?

    FCP HD (4.5) will not work with HDV footage since the HDV format came out much later than this version did. You'll need to upgrade to Final Cut Studio (FCP 5) to work with HDV natively. http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
    Or you can use a program such as HDVxDV to convert your footage to DV for editing with FCP HD. http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/hdvxdvwright.html

  • Video recorded in QT Pro-compatible with FCP?

    Is a video recorded in QT Pro compatible with FCP?
    I was getting errors earlier today importing QT video clips recorded in QT Pro.
    FCP said "unknown file type" and wouldn't import it.
    I tried different decks, different footage, all to no avail.
    Drag and drop, file>Import, neither worked.
    I never tried this before and was surprised.
    It's not that it needed rendering, it just wouldn't import.
    QT was set to use the native format of the recording device.
    FCP was set to DV NTSC easy set up.
    OS 10.4.7, QT 7.1.2, FCP 5.0.4.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Now this is strange.
    I just downloaded Live Capture Plus to try it out.
    It captures the same tape from the same deck with the same settings as I tried in QT.
    Imports perfectly into FCP 5.1.1 No problems whatsoever.
    Both clips have identical settings in the info pane of QT Pro:
    DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
    29.97
    640 x 480 pixels
    Yet the QT clip will not import into FCP with an "unknown file" error.
    Why?
    Thanks

    G5 dual 2 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    G5 dual 2 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The files open fine in QT player.
    640 X 480 was the QT captured frame size, 29.97 fps, and it was captured as "device native" in QT preferences. The source tapes where mini DV/NTSC so its frame size should be 720 X 480.
    If this frame size is the problem, why is QT pro recording a 640 X 480 image when the original is 720 X 480? Also, can't FCP handle a 640 X 480 QT video size anyway?
    I tried different tapes with different decks and kept coming up with the "file not recognized" error when trying to import into FCP.
    Thanks for your help,

  • No Video PB on External Monitor/DV unit with FCP PlayBack

    Hello.
    I just bought this Sony DVCAM unit today and I am having no luck with view External video from FCP. I have it connected with FW and had no problem with capture in FCP. I tried all settings on FCP external control and checked the Sony variables also. The Deck is a DSR-1500 record/PB DVCam unit from Sony. I never had problems with my DV Camera. I would appreciate some insight on this. I have FCP 4.5 and I have a small Video monitor connected to the Sony Video Monitor. I would rather view NTSC than computer monitor visuals.Thanks

    Does the deck have an input switch? If so, set it for DV. I have the DSR-11 and it has DV/S-Video/Composite.
    Otherwise:
    #8 External Monitor Viewing.
    Shane's Stock Answer #8:
    A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Then go View > External video > all frames
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

  • Storing Video files to be used later with FCP

    Hi,
    I am new to this so please bear with me.
    I am using FCP 10.0.2 I believe and MaxOS LION
    Only had the MAcC one week
    I take a video, open FCP, then import the video and all works fine. I can also plug the card into a Card Reader and I can import the files.
    Now this is the problem I have:
    I would like to store the files from the card onto my MAC, the to be used later with FCP.  When I have copied all the files / dir structure to the MAC, I then open FCP, go to import files, go the the dir where the files are, but I cant import them.  I can see the files, but they are grey'd out.
    When I view the files through Finder, they are all their.  If I now do an import from the Card reader it seems to work or if i stick the card back into the camera.
    I want to build up a library of videos taken in its RAW state and archive it to either on my HD or onto DVD's for later use.
    Any suggestions much appreciated

    when you did copy the whole file structure, you have to chose 'import from camera/open archive' …
    I'm following the same workflow as you do:
    • in Finder, without FCPX, on my extHDD I create a folder 'backup Zoo Day May' (or any other descriptive title)
    • drag the whole file structure into it from SDcard to folder
    • when finally finding the time for editing, in FCPX, import from camera, then open archive, then digging thru my drives to that folder
    • FCPX notices this folder as a 'cam' and offers the usual import options, no need for that old (sorry, mish ) trick with dmgs

  • Recommendations for Semi-Pro or Pro HD Video camera to use with fcp and Mac

    Recommendations for Semi-Pro or Pro HD Video camera to use with fcpX and Mac with auto settings and ability to override, need to add external mic or 2.  Am one person crew so needs to be easy to use.

    And check out the Panasonic AG-AC90.  Very good specs for a prosumer unit. Everything in the semi-pro area will involve trade offs for sure. Key thing is to study up enough to know what your needs are vs what trade off are involved in the various models. The ag-ac90 trade off (one of them) is diffraction limited sharpness.
