Playing out from FCP to Sony Z1

have been using my sony z1 with no problems to capture onto fcp5.1 but when it comes to playing back out the finished sequence onto a dv master i can't get the z1 to read it. with other cameras in the past once you're connected up you can see on the camera's lcd screen whatevers playing on FCP. any ideas? cheers

HDV is not like DV. To play back to the camera you must use Print To Tape. Be prepared for a long render. You can not monitor the output without a 3rd party card (Kona, Decklink) or video translator (Matrox MXO).
good luck,

  • View Footage from FCP to Sony HDR-HC7 Camera

    Hi all,
    I have final cut pro and a Sony HDR-HC7 camera with a SAMSUNG external monitor. I'm trying to view edited video from FCP to my camera then through HDMI to my SAMSUNG external monitor. I can't get this to work.
    This works fine through my DVDPRO deck then component to SAMSUNG external monitor.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the answer.
    Now I tried to link my iMac directly to my television (mini DVI to HDMI) to watch my movie, but I got no picture on my television. It is a Panasonic Viera, HD ready (TH-42PV60E). It has 2 HDMI inputs. Has anybody succeeded yet in doing this?

  • In and out from FCP brings entire source file into audio project

    In FCP I have created in and out in the Viewer from a source clip, done an overwrite edit into the timeline. When I "send to" Sound Track Pro from Final Cut Pro from the timeline, Sound Track Pro opens with markers at the beginning and end of the audio track. The markers are where the in and out points are in the timeline in Final Cut Pro. However, if I scroll left and right, the entire source clip is in Sound Track Pro, not just the in and out from the affiliated clip in the timeline. How can I make only the audio from between the in and out on the timeline only come over into Soundtrack Pro as opposed to the entire source clip? Is there a setting somewhere?

    I'm not having that problem, exactly but something similar. I find that a multitrack project sent to STP from FCP opens find, but when I open an individual file in the waveform, I don't get just the part of the clip I had in FCP (and had in the multitrack), but rather the whole clip before I made in and out points.
    Is anyone else having problems like we're having?

  • Troubles with playing out from Final Cut Studio to a camera

    hello!
    have troubles when playing out to a DV camcorder. i 've got a mac mini intel, final cut studio and 2 sony DV cameras with dv in.
    capturing works fine, but when i put the captured movie to the timeline, then on both cameras there are 4 small bars (2 vertical, 2 horizontal), which shows some content of the captured files. the rest of the display stays black. looks very strange.
    tried to reinstall quicktime, tried to erase quicktime receipts and quicktime settings.. it worked then, but just for one time. after restarting the mac the same problem occured.
    thanks for your help!!

  • How to make a self-playing DVD from FCP project of 75 minute film.

    A Quicktime film has been made in Final Cut. It is about an hour and 15 minutes long. It needs to end up on a self-playing DVD.
    Maybe this is a question for the FCP boards (or for DVD SP, which I don't know well): What's the approach to get this project to DVD?---having it look best on the DVD. Are there compression best practices?

    Or you may be able to make a Kiosk mode DVD from a QT file / folder using iDVD. (btw ...I've done this successfully thru iDVD6 but I have not yet tried it under iDVD08):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4764361&#4764361
    Please note that this approach is the only way I know of to make a DVD (w/in iDVD) that plays by itself and with no menu whatsoever. Hence the DVD will always play in a continuous loop until you press stop or eject on the remote. Or if you prefer you can also use Roxio Toast which has a similar feature.

  • How To Get Sound To Play Out From MBP Onto HDTV?

    I hooked up my MBP to my HDTV last night using the DVI - HDMI cable and had no issues with picture.
    This is the model of HDTV I have: http://www.hitachidigitalmedia.com/product_techspec.do?pt=17&pg=69&proid=593
    I then connected plugged in a phono L+R to 3.5mm Jack Audio Cable from the headphone port on my Mac to the PC Audio Input on the TV. Nada sound.
    Then tried connecting to the Audio Input points on the TV. Still nothing.
    The only Audio sockets my HDTV has are:
    Audio Input •
    PC Audio Input •
    Audio Line Out •
    Headphone Socket •
    Component Audio
    so don't think I can use TOSLINK either.
    Can anyone help? Spent last night with picture off the HDTV but sound off a set of external Creative speakers hooked up to the MBP.
    Thank You,
    Arivind Abraham

    I think that the audio cable from the MBP to the audio inputs on the TV would have worked if you had gone to System Preferences -> Sound -> Output and assigned the output there. YMMV

  • Sync Issues and Audio Drop-out from FCP to DVD Studio Pro

    I have edited a piece in FCP 5.1.4 and all audio/video is in perfect sync. I have been using this program for several years with no issues, until now. Upon exporting with compressor and importing into DVD Studio Pro, the audio is out of sync by 15 seconds and after that first 15 seconds there is simply NO audio, period.
    Any ideas? Please send the calvary...tight deadline and the hanging rope is getting shorter and shorter by the minute!
    Thanks

    Could be something got corrupted in DVD SP (preferences). I have had my audio act strangely and playback getting bogged down. Repairing permissions and deleting prefs works for this one for me. Did you do any recent upgrades to the OS or QuickTime?

  • Export from FCP to SONY HDR-SR11E

  • Problem playing back HDV from FCP HD

    FCP 5.0.4
    I am doing my first HD project and am experiencing a problem I cannot solve.
    Using both a Sony HDV HC1 and Sony HDR FX1 as playback devices, I cannot get the video to play back from FCP using HDV1080i60. Under Video playback, the options for the HDV are grayed out for the only firewire options:HDV(1440 x 1080) 30fps and 25fps. However, the option exists under Print To Video, and when chosen, will send HD1080i60p video to the cam>hi def monitor.
    I have tried every possible setting on both cams to find a solution. Using DV NTSC I can get a work around. The cam's will both capture and control via FCP. Thanks for any advice.

    No HDV decks will allow you to monitor external video from FCP through them UNLESS they are in the recording mode. So they just don't support this like DV devices do.
    You need to look at a card for this. Least expensive would be the Intensity cards from Decklink. I like the MXO from Matrox too for this too... does more output, but has no input... I use an Io HD for that... and turn that slow rendering HDV to ProRes.. much faster rendering, and visually lossless.

  • Can someone just spell it out for me?  Going from FCP HD to DVD SD :-(

    Hey folks. I hate to come here and ask a gargantuan number of questions, but this has been driving me out of my mind. I've tried asking specific question in hopes of simply finding one little problem that will fix my woes, but now it has come to this:
    Can someone just spell it out for me?
    How do I get my DVD going? I'll fill you in with all the knowlege I think you need.
    I shot with Sony's HDR-FX1 and edited in Final Cut. That means I'm working with High defintion. The movie is set and solid, and runs One hour and twenty mintues. I'm trying to get it, the commentary track, the subtitle track, and a slew of video files (also shot in high def) onto one dvd. This goes beyond the 4.8 gig limit. Hence, i have a Dual layer burner, and have been burning onto DVD-R DL disks.
    I've tried downgrading to SD format through steps from this website:
    http://www3.telus.net/bonsai/Step-by-Step.html
    I do all the steps to all of my files, and then start putting them into my DVD STUDIO PRO project. I have a recorded commentary which I add in, and I have written all the subtitles. The disk is in SD mode, and everything fits onto the dual layer disk. I've tried literally a dozen different ways, and something keeps going wrong. Either the menus won't come up, and just the film will play upon inserting, or the subtitle stream doesn't pick up- problem after problem. So, now I ask: Can someone simply spell out to me what steps I need to take to get my HD film onto a Dual Layer SD disk?
    I apologize for how general this question is and how many directions it can go, but I'm at a breaking point after four months of failures. Thank you very much.

    Hi man.
    I don't really know which ways you've taken to put
    the video into dvd studio, but since you're asking
    for a step by step process, then here's what i do:
    - export the entire hour out of FCP to a qt file
    - take that QT file to compressor. the only audio you
    really need is dolby 2.0. this would also reduce the
    file size of video to make things fit in a single
    layer dvd
    I have always found that the 'Dolby 2.0' and '5.1' AC3 settings in Compressor badly affect your audio mix...it collapses the soundstage, takes away a lot of depth and imaging, and smudges the frequency range, so I usually output a 16-bit 48kHz, which holds things together much more nicely when working with a stereo mix. Problem is, for a feature-length films, the resulting output from compressor makes it too big to fit on standard DVD-R's with the M2V picture file. My workaround was to actually take take the original exported FCP QT movie (which has a 48kHz aiff soundtrack to begin with), and only lay the audio part of it in the track timeline in DVD studio pro, then lay the compressed M2V video on top of it. They're both still in sync, unless you picked different in/out points in Compressor. When you 'build' your Video/Audio TS in 'advanced burn' it somehow makes it small enough to all fit onto a DVD, while still maintaining the audio quality of the AIFF, instead of the crappy-sounding 2.0 AC3. Then you just use Toast to burn your disc. The difference in sound quality is night and day. So basically I do the picture in Compressor, but let DVD Studio Pro prepare the audio in the Advanced Burn stage.
    It will be very difficult to get a good-sounding AC3 (what they call 'dolby' 2.0 or the wierd 5.1 encoding they use) unless you mix/master/encode your soundtrack professionally like regular studio films do. Just encoding it in compressor straight out of FCP or ProTools isn't enough. You lose too much.

  • Why is Color Washed Out after making DVD from FCP

    I took a 3 minute corporate video from FCP (shot SD, NTSC DV) and compressed from the timeline in Compressor (3.01) to DVD best 90 minutes. When I burned the DVD in DVDSP (4.2) and played it in a stand alone DVD player with a JVC production monitor it looked washed out. It looks nothing like it does in FCP or DVDSP.
    Any idea what is going on?

    Yes to the monitor. I shot the video with a Panasonic HVX200 to P2 cards, downloaded and color corrected on Color. Viewed on two production monitors: A JVC CRT and a new Panasonic 26" LCD (LH2600W) production monitor which is fed from a Kona Card via SDI. My Apple 30" monitor, which I edit on is color calibrated with a Spyder calibrator.
    I have played the DVD on the 30" and it looks washed out, even after comparing it to a QT movie from the timeline and played on the 30". Something seems to be happening when the DVD is burnt. The mpeg2 file when played in the inspector in Compression looks good too.
    This is weird, since I have never had this problem before, but this is the first use of the new Compression.

  • Video does not play when imported from FCP

    When I import a clip from FCP into motion the clip opens up however only one frame shows up in the motion viewer. When I press play, there is no video..only that particular frame that was showing.
    The media tab shows the .mov file, and plays it in seperate window when i double click on it.
    Thanks for helping me out.

    How do you bring the file into Motion and what file are you actually opening in Motion?
    Are you exporting your FCP project as QT? or
    Are you sending your FCP project to Motion?

    Hisham

  • What is the best compressor setting to use ... when exporting a 720p timeline from FCP for a project that will only be played back in a standard def monitor?

    What is the best compressor setting to use for DVD StudioPro ... when exporting a 720p 30 timeline from FCP for a project that will only be viewed in a standard def monitor?

    Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
    Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
    So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
    If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
    All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
    Is there an easier way?

    I believe there is no  "Export to Tape"  feature as appeared in legacy FCP.
    SORRY! Just noticed you are using FCP 6.
    You need to ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • When playing iTunes from 2006 MacBook via Airport Express remote stereo speakers, the music keeps dropping in and out

    I've tried hours and a trip to the Apple Store to resolve this problem, and no luck so far.
    We have two Airport Expresses -- one is an older "g" version (from 2006), one is a newer "n" version (a couple of years old).
    We have one older MacBook (from June 2006) (so it can only use "g" wireless and also cannot be upgraded to OS X 10.7 "Lion").
    We have one MacBook Air and an iMac (both less than a year old), an iPad (about 2 months old), and a recently acquired AppleTV (in the past few weeks).
    We also have two iPhones that do use our local wireless network on occassion.
    We have stereo speakers that are currently connected into one of the Airport Expresses.
    For years (until the past few weeks) I played music from iTunes on my first generation MacBook to the speakers with no problems (using the older "g" Airport Express).  Recently, however, when playing music remotely over the speakers we have gotten fairly regular (though at random intervals) drops of the music in and out (drops are for a second or two each).  So far, here's what we've tried to do:
    (1)     Went to the Apple Store, where they thought the problem might be compatability between the g and n equipment in our house.  They suggested that we get an Airport Extreme and use that as the base so that 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz networks could each be set up, allowing the two systems to play nicely.  Spent a couple of hours setting everything up.  No dice.
    (2)     The skipping happens even when (a) I turn off the Apple TV; and/or (b) turn off the older Airport Express and just use the Extreme and the "n" Express (with the "n" Express as the connection to the stereo).
    (3)      When I have the wireless network drop-down menu selected on my MacBook, the skipping occurs immediately after the computer is "looking for networks" (as shown at the top of the menu).  The computer does this at random intervals on a regular basis.  The skipping, however, will occur even if the menu is not selected.
    (4)     Here's the weirdest part.  The skipping has even occured when playing iTunes from our newish iMac, with the older MacBook shut down, with the older Airport Express shut down.  In this case, the skipping only appears to occur when we have the wireless network drop-down menu selected and again, it occurs when the computer is "looking for networks" which occurs at random intervals.  In this situation, the skipping only seems to occur when the menu is selected.
    At this point, if I can't find another solution, I'm going to return the Airport Extreme, and just give up playing music over our stereo speakers from the MacBook (and instead transfer music to the iMac and play from it).  But I thought I'd try a last-ditch effort to ask for help to see if anyone could figure out what might be causing the problem.  I would chalk it up to the problems of using my old "g" network MacBook on a newer "n" system (though I'm not about to spend $1K+ to upgrade my laptop just for this), but for (4) above, which seems to indicate something else is going on.
    Any help would be most appreciated!

    Unfortunately, your description of the problem and the placement of both your main and AirPort Express routers does lend itself to believe the problem is most likely Wi-Fi interference. If it isn't the microwave or portable phones, it could be obstacles like walls between the routers that may be preventing the stream from consistently reaching the Express.
    In your configuration, the stream will first travel to the main router, and then, from the main router to the AirPort Express. If, for example, you started the stream in the same room as the Express, that stream would have to travel across several rooms at least twice.
