Opening log and capture shuts down final cut pro

Hi, I am using final cut pro 5.1 and when I open my log and capture window, the final cut pro instantly shuts down. I just upgraded to 10.4.10. Would that be the problem?
Also, now it doesn't pick up my deck connection via firewire to my sony dsr-11 pal deck.
Everything was working fine before.
any advice?

Have you updated all the way to FCP 5.1.4? (or the latest version of 5.1)?
Also, after a system update, trashing the FCP Prefs can usually help out any instability. FCP Rescue makes that nice and easy.

Converting VHS and other Analog into Final Cut Pro

Hello,
I've taken it upon myself to archive some old home videos of a deceased young cousin of mine. The video is on VHS and getting old and I want to put it on DVD for her parents, and then "Print to Video" on DV for a new master hard copy I can use for my personal archive.
I bought a Canopus 300 converter, plugged it into my PowerMac G5 via FireWire, and I can now see the footage on my Mac.
What I can't do, is seem to find it in my "Log and Capture" window for Final Cut Pro.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I also thought about looping it to a DV camera and dubbing it, then having this footage with a new TimeCode and then capture it into Final Cut Pro.
My first priority is getting this video preserved in the best quality video possible (it's already not so good to begin with).

You must set your capture settings to Non controllable device in order to capture from the converter and use Capture Now.

If your camera hace analog inputs you can do that. This way you'll have a safe copy of your footage. Using the first option, you can make some basics edits and corrections before transfering to the DV, what means cutting some "floo and sky" shoots !
Hope that helps !

How Do I Open a Motion (5) Project in Final Cut Pro X?

How Do I Open a Motion (5) Project in Final Cut Pro X?

You can't directly. You can either export a file, or you can save it as a template, effect, title, transition, or generator, that can be used in FCP.

HT6114 I want to re-install Aperture and make updates to Final Cut Pro on my MAC ?

I want to re-install Aperture and to update my Final Cut Pro software, but when I go to install or update I get an error message saying I need to install the latest version of MAC OS X 10.9. I currently have version 10.7.5 installed but when I go to do a software update it tells me that my OS X software is up to date.
What do I need to do to fix this problem?

Just Opened My New Mac Pro and trying to install Final Cut Pro

Just opened up my new Mac. I'm trying to install Final Cut Pro. I put the CD in the tray and it doesn't install. Usually the install icon comes up on the desktop, but it doesn't. I am logged in when attempting to install it.

The answer to your first question is to use the "Finder". That is how you access your storage media, folders and files on a Mac... I assume by this question that you must be a Windows user.
When you open the Disk Utility, you should see both the drive and any media mounted by the drive. You also went to the System Profiler via "About This Mac". The DVD drive is not shown in the overview, but is found in ATA, and the burner in Disc Burning. In ATA you should see the physical drive and also below, any disc mounted by the drive.
Although application CD/DVD discs should open on the desktop when inserted, the same is not necessarily true of music CD's. What Mac OS X does in their case is dictated by settings in System Prefs, CDs & DVDs.
If you need AppleCare, whatever you do, don't just arrive there without a Genius Bar appointment, or you'll be wasting a trip. As far as contacting Cupertino AppleCare by phone, you can find that at the bottom of the Support page under "Contact Support".
...And I agree with the others, that being descriptive is always best.
Hope this helps.

Crash upon opening Log and Capture

I'm working with a friend to solve her FCP problem. Everytime she opens the log and capture window FCP crashes. When she starts up FCP they are greeted with the DV NTSC Device is not connected message even if the camera is conected and on. Doing a refresh AV devices does nothing. iMovie recognizes the camera just fine and will control it and capture from the camera which is a Panasonic PV-GS500. I have had her trash her preferences, do an un-install and re-install and repair her permissions on the computer as well. What could be causing this? Does anybody else have any more suggestions?

A few questions back to you, Andrew.
Has this camcorder ever worked with her Mac & FCP in the past, or is this the first try hooking the two together?
Have you tried using a different firewire cable, and/or connecting the camera to a different Mac with FCP installed? Or, have you tried connecting a different camcorder to her Mac?
Does FCP crash when opening Log & Capture even if, in fact, nothing is connected?
A little info about the Mac might be useful, like which model is it, which version of the OS, Quicktime, and FCP are installed?
With my G4, an older OS and a previous version of FCP, sometimes the same thing would happen to me (FCP didn't recognize a camcorder was attached). Changing the startup sequence around usually did the trick -- like start the Mac, then plug in the firewire, turn on the camera, open FCP. Or, plug in firewire, turn on camera, turn on Mac, etc. etc.

Why am I not able to mark "in" and "out" points in Final Cut Pro 6?

I have a bunch of old tapes that I am trying to put on my computer. I have Final Cut Pro 6 and everything hooks up nicely except I am not able to mark in and out points or use capture now. Does anyone out there know why that would be the case?
I appreciate any help I can get.

What VTR? How is it controlled?
What are your capture settings? Firewire Protocol?

How do I capture HDV in Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 from a Sony HDR-CX360?

Hi. I recently upgraded to a Sony HDR-CX360 Camera. I've been importing off of Firewire with my older cameras. Now I face only being able to import with USB. It is not recognizing the camera. How do I import with this kind of camera and Final Cut Pro 6.0.6.? It works fine with iMovie.

Hi,
There are a couple of things I would do in your position .. first off make sure the camera is turned on and connected BEFORE I start FCP. another would be to run up system profiler and have a look in FireWire - and see (obviously with the camera connected) is it listed in there .. If not in effect the MAC is not seeing the camera and Failing that if it is a six pin on the camera connect to a six pin port .. I had issues with a Camera (Canon XHA1s) which the MAC Pro FireWire (8 pin) would not list the camera until I installed an two port 6 pin FireWire card .. It works every time now. Hope you get it sorted ..

DVDSP - End Jump to Menu 1 and Chapters Markers from Final Cut Pro 5.0.4

I went to the Final Cut Forum and they sent me here:
Final Cut 5.0.4
DVD Studio Pro 4
I got to the point where I set the end jump back to Menu 1 for each of the two films listed with buttons on Menu 1 of my DVD.
One film has no chapter markers and the other has 4 chapters that I set up in Final Cut Pro, edited as Chapters and Saved for DVD Studio Pro when exporting the Quick Time. This functionality is great and very nice. At the end one does return to the (main menu) from both short films.
What I found, as stated in the manual, was the first chapter marker is automatically put in by DVD Studio Pro. On the film with 4 chapters by depressing the button on the remote one can skip ahead. When on reaches the 4th chapter one does not have a 5th marker for the end and one has to watch the 4th chapter to reach the end and then go back to the main menu. What I was trying to put in was a 5th chapter marker, or a marker at the end of each film where if one wanted to go back to the Main Menu before the film time had elapsed, one could hit the chapter ahead button and reach the end of the film, and be returned to the Main Menu.
When I put in end markers in DVD Studio Pro, the build stops stating there is a GOP boundry problem. After reading the manual I went back to end chapter markers in Final Cut, but these do not come through. I tried more than one second from the end of the movie but this does not seem to be the answer.
thanks in advance for your help.
Bill

Yes, the end marker is the solution, and it does need to be a certain distance from the end of the media. If placing markers in FCP, I put it 1:03 from the end. If you need to you can extend the FCP sequence, or even the track in DVDSP with a little black. In DVDSP, if I don't have an embedded end marker in my asset, I use the little "clicker" arrows next to the time fields in the marker inspector to move the marker two GOPs or "clicks" from the very end of the asset or track.
Hope this helps -

I have use Canopus Edius pro 3 and now switching to Final Cut Pro but need?

Hi all
I would like to know if when you get a clip in the timeline with cut pro hd 5 can it be resized. By that i mean if starting with a 720x480 can you resize the output to stretch it to fit a bigger screen size. Think of watching hdtv show and it clips the right/left sides short of the edges because of the original broadcast and you want to resize it to stretch it to a larger screensize.
With canopus edius pro 3 you can change the layout to an oversized size in real time.
Now my question: can final cut pro 5 do the same thing in resizing the layout of the output if necessary?
Thanks up front
Mike in Everett Wa

I'm gonna have to say nope on that one.

HT4722 I work for a non-profit and need to purchase Final Cut Pro X tax free. How do I do that?

The Mac App store doesn't offer tax-free purchases, and besides, I'd prefer to order Final Cut Pro from a business with a phone number and address... the mac app store makes it difficult to find those details (which our accounting department requires). What should I do?

The application is only sold through the App Store. The price is fixed in the store. Recovery of state sales taxes can only be done through the state's revenue service. Apple, like Amazon, will not involve itself in determining tax free status.
The phone number and address are readily available on the Apple web site.

Is Final Cut Pro 7 more intuitive and easy going than Final Cut Pro 6?

I am a bit frustrated and feel that Final Cut Pro 6 is quite difficult to get the grasp of. Is FCPRO version 7 improved when it comes to being more intuitive and user friendly?

You should look at the Apple web site and see what's new in the applications. I can't tell if the features introduced in them will be worth that for you.

Log and Capture - where are the cuts and renames stored

I'm having a problem where I'm loosing the cuts and clip renames

Sorry about that (I'm new to FCP)
Log and transfer sequentially renames all of the clips when I point to the AVCHD directory on my mac (which I copied from the camera). It, unfortunatly, doesn't add any leading 0's, and it sorts alphabetically, so my clips are out of order (1, 10, 11, 12, 13...2, 20). The process that I have been following, in order to get them back into order, is to add leading 0's to make them the same length (eg Clip# 1 becomes Clip# 001...). This is a real pain and I would welcome suggestions on how to improve this process. I would be much happier if it used the start time of the clip (or even the sequential 5-digit clip number that comes off of the camera)
In 'Log and Transfer' I am setting in and out points on the clips. When I add them to the import batch the utility only brings in the video between the points.
My problem is that, on a few occations, I have gone through the hour or so that it takes to do this only to find that the changes are gone when I reloaded the project. Most of the time it works fine but, if I knew how / where it stored this info, I would be able to verify it and make sure that it's archived...
Thanks again for your help
John
