Panasonic SDR-H80 and Final Cut Express

Does anyone know whether the new Panasonic Camcorder Type SDR-H80 is compatible with an iMac running under the Leopard OS and Final Cut Express version 4.0.1?

Hey ,.. I just purchased the same videocam and I am having the same dilema? Did you figure something out on how to make itr work yet?

  • Adobe CS4/5 and Final Cut Express On a MacBook Air?

    Hey all
    Im planning to get a MacBook for my GCSE's, and im leaning towards the air.
    I will be running applications such as Adobe Photoshop CS5, After Effects CS5, Lightroom CS5, and Final Cut Express regularly, so would a 13" 1.86ghz MBA C2D Processor with 4gb of RAM be able to run these apps fast and efficiently with no lag? Or should I opt for the baseline MBP 13"? Im also looking for portability, as im going to be taking it into school
    Thanks

    After effects!? Yikes... that is a beast of a program! Depends how in depth you plan on using it. Are you going to be doing 3D animations with several camera layers? If so, I don't think a MBP is going to work too smoothly. If you are doing basic to moderate use of AE functions then I think it would work fine.
    Just a heads up before buying, check out the apple refurb store. They have a bunch of MBP with different specs for a very reasonable price. I got my 17" MBP from there and it works awesome with the same warranty as new... for like $500 off!

  • Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Final Cut Express 3.0 - 5 minute captures then freeze

    Something I have found with Final Cut Pro 4.5 and Final Cut Express 3.0.
    After Updating to Tiger - 10.4.11 and Quicktime 7.4.1 - Both Pro 4.5 and Express 3.0 will not capture more then 5 minutes and 12 seconds. If you are having this issue the solution I used to fix both Pro and Express issues was an update on the software. Final Cut Pro 5 fixed the problem (or 6 if you can) and with Final Cut Express, version 3.5 fixed the issue but if you can go with FCX 4.
    Let me know if this helped or if you have found a different solution. Downgrading the os might help but that is too much of a pain and it's time to upgrade the software anyway.

    #29: Need AGP Graphics card
    Shane's Stock Answer #29 – Error: “Need AGP Graphics card”
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302667
    The Final Cut software is looking for a graphics card type that is required for that version of the software. FCP 4 and FCP 4.5 were released when AGP cards were the requirement. Attempting to open this on a Mac with a PCIe graphics card, such as an Intel Mac, will cause this error. FCP 4.5 is not supported on the Intel Macs. If you happen to have a PowerPC Quad processor Mac and get this error, you can try this hack:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/finalcut_pro_on_oldmacs.html
    You can also press the "esc" key as you launch FCP. This enables FCP to open and run, but know that it might not work optimally.
    If that doesn’t work, or if you have an Intel Mac, you are going to have to upgrade to a supported version of FCP…and FCP 6, part of Final Cut Studio 2, is the latest version.

  • Upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and final cut express 4 will not work

    upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and final cut express 4 will not launch but my final cut express HD 3.0 version comes up. I reinstall my final cut express 4 upgrade disc and it still will not launch.
    Where do I go from here?

    You installed from the discs, right?
    What happens when you try to launch? What are you doing to launch and what happens you do it? Can't see you computer from here. If you probably need to contact Apple with an installation issue on a new computer.

  • Best Settings using the new Canon HV30 and Final Cut Express HD v3.5.1?

    My wife presents programs at schools and uses digital movies that we make and edit as one of her media materials.  We want to present higher quality videos that look more film-like. I am hoping that the combination I described above will enable this improvement. In the past we used a Canon ZR20 and iMovie HD and put these on DVD's that were then played on a MacBook Pro with with QuickTime or iDVD hooked up to an Epson PowerLite projector.
    I am now the proud owner of a new Canon HV30 and Final Cut Express HD3.5.1 (had FCE for a while so know how to use it). From my research, though, it looks like FCE will not be able to handle CINE MODE recording in combination with 24fps progressive frame rate [HDV(PF24)] which would allow the enhanced effect of the Cinema Mode. I can't justify the cost of Final Cut Studio 2 so I am hoping that the new [HDV(PF30)] will allow me to more easily edit in FCE.
    Does anyone know if this is true and if so can please tell me the settings that I need both on the camera and in FCE to get the best quality movie that can played directly from my MacPro using QuickTime or iDVD or from a DVD in the MacPro using the iDVD player. I won't have the opportunity to always play the videos directly from the camera to an HDTV because of the school setting and the need to use a projector.
    I know this is a lot to ask for, but I am sure that it will come up again and again as more people purchase this new camera. Thanks for your time.
    Sincerely,
    Lou Hosta

    Without totally repeating myself with my post to MaccyLeopard, I haven't shot any footage yet. After doing a lot of reading I think I confused myself more than helped myself as far as settings go. So if you remember from my initial post I am asking for advice and guidance primarily on camera settings with the HV30 that will be used in a classroom (artroom) setting and then edited using FCE HD v3.5.1. I wish I was the type of person that could jump right into using a new piece of equipment but I like to get the advice of others beforehand. That way I'm not always questioning myself as to 'whether or not is this the best I can get'. I also am wondering if the 30fps frame mode would be the best to use in the classroom setting? From my reading, this mode should allow more light onto the tape allowing me to shoot in conditions with lower light levels that are typically found inside? Finally, is FCE HD able to edit this new 30 fps frame mode of the HD30? I've heard that FCE HD can't handle the 20 fps frame mode.
    Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
    Sincerely,
    Lou Hosta

  • Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 and Final Cut Express HD 3.5

    Hi,
    I have a client with both of these installed on the same machine (running 10.4.6).
    When they try and launch either application, the splash screen comes up, loading various filters, etc. then they get an error message:
    "File Error: A file of this name already exists" "OK"
    Clicking "OK" closes the app.
    Any idea:
    1. What the file in question is?
    2. Can it be deleted to let the app run?
    3. Can Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 and Final Cut Express HD 3.5 be used on the same machine?
    I'll post this on the Final Cut Express HD 3.5 thread too (but with the order reversed).

    What you did was not enough to delete the preferences properly.
    This article tells you how. It is for FCE2 but works the same for FCE3 so I assume it is also OK for FCE 3.5:-
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93690
    It's simple to do so try it before reinstalling etc. - You should completely uninstall before reinstalling:-

    I'm relatively new to FCE myself, so I'll answer with what I know. I'm sure the more experienced folks will either add to or correct what I say.
    1) For the Inconvenient Truth thing, I believe this would best be done in LiveType, which does allow you to do animations, and to work on individual letters and characters. Whether or not it could exactly reproduce the effects in the clip, I'm not certain, but I'm sure it could come very close.
    2) For the Crowd or the Cross effects, there are two things going on at once: effects on the text, and effects on the video. My gut feeling is that both FCE and LiveType can do these, with lots of work and patience, but I'll defer to other people to answer.
    3) The page peel is a transition built into FCE.

  • Panasonic Gs250 and final cut express?

    hi guys. I've heard the Panasonic gs250 works (captures) with Fcp, but has anyone had the gs250 (which is mini DV work with final cut Express 4??
    thank you

    Hey guys.
    Just wanted to bring an update back here.
    I currently have my new New Mac Book Pro and I'm running Final Cut Expres 4.0.
    I'm well on the way to capturing 10+ hours of footage with my Pan. GS250 - the software picks it up just fine!
    Thanks for your comments and input on this thread.

  • Panasonic GH2 and Final Cut Express?

    Does anyone have any experience in importing into Final Cut Express with a Panasonic GH2? I have about $1000 to spend on a new camera for work and the camera was recommended to me but not by someone who uses FCE. I have been using a Canon Vixia SR 20 smoothly with FCE, but now have a chance to purchase a new camera for video.
    I am also wondering if it is a good choice should I eventually move to Final Cut Pro X. I have seen some of the forum talk about this camera and some issues it has with FCP X, but right now am looking to find someone who has used it successfully with FCE. Or a simillarly powerful camera recommendation in that range with a proven FCE track record also welcome. Thanks!
    Douglas

    I use the same camera and it works for me. Make sure you are using the log and transfer function, in FCE, and not the log and capture. I am not sure what other advice to give other than to confirm FCE4 and the SD5 do play nice together, at least for me. I will say I have only used the SD card media with it so if your using a disc maybe it may be a different story -- I don't know.
    Edit: Sorry I misspoke my camera is the SX5 -- from everything I understand and have read, however, it is functionally identical to the SD5. The difference being the SD5 only works with SD cards where this one has the option to record to mini DVDs.

  • Panasonic HMC 151 crashing Final Cut Express HD 4.0

    Hey,
    I have just upgraded my video camera from a Panasonic AG HMC 40 (which worked perfectly with FCE) to a Panasonic AG HMC151.
    Unfortunately every time I try to import footage [through 'Log & Transfer'] Final Cut Express crashes.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and more importantly, is there any way I can resolve the problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Killian

    The HMC151 shoots in AVCCAM, a subset of AVCHD which I don't believe is supported by FCE. You'll need Final Cut Pro to ingest this footage. I'm actually surprised you said the HMC40 worked with FCE since it's also an AVCCAM.
    Edit: According to Panasonic it's compatible, and you can find more information [here|ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/panasonic/Drivers/PBTS/papers/Editing%20AVCHD %20with%20FC%20Express%204.pdf].

  • Survey about Mac OS X 10.4.9 and Final Cut Express

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Regarding the huge amount of posts, threadjack and splits of the topic about FCE 2.0.3 and OS X 10.4.9, I suggest to make a new topic about individual experiment with the combo 10.4.9 and FCE.
    If you have tried this combinaison and want to share your results, feel free to post here.
    We need to know the version of MAC OS X, Quicktime, Final Cut Express, the exact model and configuration of your MAC (external HD, the port where camcorder is plugged) etc.
    Michel Boissonneault

    I have a 800mhz, 15" iMac with 768 ram. I'm running OS 10.4.9, FCEHD 3.0, QT 7.1.5, two external HD (250gb Wiebetech and 120gb EzQuest. The two external hd are daisychained together with one FW connection to the iMac. My camcorder is a Panasonic PV-GS500 and is FW to the iMac.
    Immediately after upgrading the OS and QT I was unable to capture video without getting dropped frames.
    I purchased the FCEHD upgrade to 3.5 and should receive it this weekend...hoping it solves the dropped frames issues.
    How is that mon ami?

  • Xacti HD and Final Cut Express -- It used to work great! How do I go back?

    I have a Sanyo Xacti HD700. It gives me 1280x720 MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 files, which my Mac just loves. I used to be able to quickly edit the clips together in Final Cut Express, export using complementary QuickTime settings (specifically, those recommended by Vimeo for HD playback), and get beautiful MP4 files, relatively quickly.
    Then, one day, a friend needed me to edit a quick video using a DV camcorder. It was confusing as heck getting the footage into FCE, and not particularly elegant getting it out. But, the project was done overnight, I washed my hands of it, and wanted to get back to making beautiful MP4 files again, relatively quickly.
    Except I can't! Now, for one, encoding takes hours. Hours! My source videos and export videos are very similar, yet I sit and watch as the estimate for completion actually goes up for an hour before slowly coming back down.
    And frankly, that would be fine, except now my exported videos are the wrong size. They include letterboxes, and the video itself is squished, stretched. So I wait four times as long for a ghastly video. The best I could do is use the Quicktime export settings to "crop off" the letterboxing, but there's still some black bars and it's just not the same.
    Here's how my videos used to look:
    http://vimeo.com/1067235
    Here's how an exported video looks now:
    http://vimeo.com/1655414?pg=embed&sec=1655414
    What happened? Out of the box, everything worked perfectly. Now, tainted with actual tape, Final Cut Express seems like it's running my videos through six extra wringers and giving me clips worse than I'd get just cut-and-paste editing the Xacti files in QuickTime Pro!
    I Googled my brains out, and all I've learned is, if I had Final Cut Pro, "Project Settings" would have all the switches I need. Well, I don't have FCP, just FCE.
    Somewhere, something was set that I want to unset. Can anyone help? Do I have to delete every trace of FCE and just reinstall?
    Mahalo for any advice!

    It sounds like you didn't change the settings after you made the DV video. Did you switch it back to 1280x720 and make a new sequence in that format? Check item properties for the sequence you edited. What does it say? Also check item properties for any media you captured since working in DV.

  • Sony DCR-TRV140 with Macbook Pro and Final Cut Express 4

    OK all, I'm a Mac novice here. Just bought my first Mac last month and added Final Cut Express to it in order to have some nice advanced features when it comes time to edit all kinds of home video shot on the Sony DCR-TRV140 Digital8 Handycam...
    But I'm having trouble figuring out how to get my MacBook Pro to recognize the camcorder.
    I have a 4-pin firewire connector on the camcorder, and a 9 pin firewire connector on the Mac. Is it as easy as buying a 4/9 pin cable?
    I thought about trying to hook it up through the USB cable... but haven't had any luck there either.
    As you can tell, I'm quite new to this, so please be nice. Ha!
    If I can provide any further information, please let me know.
    Specifications for the Sony camcorder can be found here:

    Is it as easy as buying a 4/9 pin cable?
    Pretty much.
    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    Here's one source of such a cable:

    I'm not sure what Easy Setup you'll need to use in FCE, but, if you're in the USA, I think it will be DV-NTSC DV Converter or maybe DV-NTSC Firewire Basic.
