Placing objects in Smart Cut Pro from Illustrator

I know in CorelDraw, you can create a contour of the object, break it apart and place it into the cutting program and be able to cut out both shapes. I was wondering if it is possible to do something like that with an outlined object created in Illustrator. Also, can you just copy and paste an object into Smart Cut Pro from Illustrator?

FCP has limited tools for this, because, after all, it is a NON-LINEAR EDITOR, not a compositing or visual effects program. And what you are trying to do falls squarely in that catagory.
Shake, After effects...these are what you need to look for. And ROTOSCOPING...

  • Cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store

    Hello,
    I cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store.
    I says "Failed to download" and error has occurred
    What is wrong?
    is it my Macbook?

    I had a problem way back in the olden days, i.e., FCPX 10.0.2, and finally gave up and called the Apple Store using a land-line phone.
    Anyway, (this was a couple years ago), if I remember right, they passed me off to someone in the FCPX group and I got the App. However, this was not a really goo way to go because for many updates afterward, everytime I wanted to update I had to go thorugh the same ritual.
    Finally, probably around 10.0.8, things got "fixed" and since then I've been able to go direct and download it from the App Store without having to make a phone call.
    My suggestion would be to try calling the App Store. Maybe, if there is a "global problem" and they get a lot of calls, they will fix it.
    Heck, maybe write a Knowlede Base (KB) article about it.
    Disclaimer: I didn't check to see if there was one.

    If it's in the purchased page and doesn't download, you should contact Apple.

    No. You simply sign in to the App Store and download it again. AppStore knows that you already paid for it.

  • Trouble restoring final cut pro from time machine

    I cant install registered version of final cut pro from time machine after system restore.  It asks for serial number, but I dont have it. How do I find it?

    I don't use time machine, but my understanding is that needing to re-authorize the software with the serial numbers when you do a restore from time machine is the way time machine works.

  • Trying to download video into  Final cut pro from my canon XHA1 HD camera

    I have a brand new I-mac 24 inch 4gs of memory and a terabite of hard drive, with Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 Studio 2. I have a brand new Canon XHA1 HD camera. when I plug in my 4pin firewire the computer it won't except the camera or the firewire, but I-movie will? the warning sign says it can't find the firewire? does any body know what settings I need to set, so my computer will except and download my video footage in final cut pro?

    I've got the Canon XH-A1, but I'm still using FCP 5.1.4, for the moment. I've had no problem capturing from the camera. Are you using Log and Capture? The simplest way to try capturing, once you're in Log and Capture is to hit play in the controller section (or space bar), and then use the capture now button, once the video has started playing. There is an entire chapter in the book on how to use the log and capture facility, so I'm not going to get too detailed here. If you can't get it to work, please be specific about how far you get. Can you play the video on the camera?, Does it show the transport controls?, etc.

  • Editing 3D in Final Cut Pro from Doremi

    Hello.  I am trying to take 3D content from a medical arthroscopic camera and edit it together with 2D footage from an external camera.  The glasses and monitor sold by the medical company make viewing 2D and 3D fine, so it is OK for the video to alteranate between 2D and 3D.
    The Doremi V1HD contains the 3D footage.  When I import it to my computer, I find that the format is 3D 1080 60i and the codec is 3D 4.2.2. JPEG2000 100Mbit/s 8 bit.  Any ideas on if there a way to import this into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 for editing with my 1080i 2D footage from another camera?  Is there a plugin that will allow me to do this?  And then, I'll need to upload the final video back to the Doremi in the same format.

    I'm sure apple has something up their sleeve, but for now, stereo in FCP is still a bit of a hack.
    Check out my earlier thread about this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2192392&tstart=0
    There are a couple of helpful links for hardware and stuff toward the end.
    We ultimately abandoned this route and are using IRIDAS Framecycler and Baselight to view our stereo material, but I'd love to hear about your FCP solutions if you decide to pursue it.

  • How do I Upgrade Final Cut Pro from 10.0.6?

    Do I upgrade Final Cut Pro 10.0.6 from iTunes or though the App Store?  Or both?  It will not work now that Yosemite 10.10.1 is installed.
    Thanks.
    -Mike.

    BTW:
    There are MAJOR changes using the newer version.
    Do some research before proceeding.
    See here for an overview:

    The tutorial speaks about Mavericks but Yosemite has the same rules.

  • I'm trying to download Final Cut Pro from the app store but I get a "fail" message.  I have enough space on my laptop.  Help?

    I have purchased Final Cut Pro App for my Mac Book Pro.  It will start to download but then I receive a simple download failed message.  I've tried many times.  I have enough space on my laptop.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select
              /var/log ▹ appstore.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Error updating Final Cut Pro from App store

    G'day,
    I'm trying to use the app store to do the update on Final Cut Pro. We have a slow connection at home so I leave it downloading overnight, but when I get up in the morning it says theirs an error in the pkg. Is there anyway I can download the update directly (e.g. on my faster work connection) and then take that file home to do the update?
    Thanks

    Hi..
    The updates need to be installed directly on the Mac where the app was originally downloaded to.
    Instead of leaving the download running during the night, if it's convenient, "pause" then "resume" at a later time.

  • Question re: Xfer Final Cut Pro from iMac (OS 9.1) to an eMac (OS X 10.4)

    Hi,
    I own Final Cut Pro (ver 1.0 and ver 2.0 update) for a DV iMac (OS 9.1) but never used it.
    I now have an eMac running Tiger (OS X ver 10.4) and I'd like to install Final Cut Pro.
    When I tried to install the software on the eMac, the installer looked for an OS 9.1 folder on the eMac.
    Can I run this older version of Final Cut Pro on my eMac?
    Thanks for your help.

    All is not lost, you can upgrade ...
    In the immortal words of King Arthur in the IBM ads - "you expect me to THROW MONEY at the problem!?"
    In a word, yes. Not any other options if you want to run FCP on your more modern machine.
    good luck.
