QuickTime compatibility with FCP 4.5

Are there any other people out there using FCP 4.5 on OS 10.3.9 successfully with a version of QuickTime later than 6.5.2? I haven't dared upgrade QuickTime since all kinds of things went wrong and I hade to downgrade QuickTime at great trouble. But perhaps more recent versions have solved these problems. Anyone know?

This is not true. You can run QT 7 with OSX 10.3.9 - HOWEVER - it really is a good idea to keep families of software together.
This means osx 10.3.9/FCP 4.5/Qt 6.5.2
or
osx 10.4.9/FCP5.1.2/QT 7.x (whichever is current)
good luck.

  • 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?

  • JVC Everio GZ-MG630 60GB Camcorder Compatibility with FCP

    I was wanting to get a little cheap & compact camcorder for carrying around and do away with tapes at the same time. Has anyone had any luck with FCP & hard drive camcorders with no tapes specifically the JVC Everio’s?
    I have always been a miniDV user so this is all new…. however I was able to help a friend get his hard drive camcorder setup after having to get a converter online. I am just a little reluctant to invest in a camcorder when I don’t know if it will work or not.
    Thanks for your help all!

    Have you searched this forum for info on these (JVC Everio model) cameras yet? Interesting reading...with some relevent workflows.

    And you're right...it's best to know what you're in for, prior to purchasing.

  • Yosemite compatability with FCP 7

    Will Final Cut Pro 7 work with Yosemite? How about Premiere CS5.5? I have upgraded operating systems in the past and then lost the ability to use the software that I own... sometimes it is completely unsupported by the new operating system and I have lost project files...

    No he won't need to upgrade to FCX. 
    Although FCP 7 isn't FULLY compatible with Yosemite. It's the second OS to be released that's doesn't fully support FCP 7...meaning that it doesn't take it into consideration.  No testing was done, no consideration taken to make sure it works. FCP 7, to Apple, is dead.  Does it work? Yes...people have said it works. FULLY...does it do all it can do at full capacity? No. People have reported minor issues across the spectrum.  So I wouldn't plan on full compatibility.

  • Quicktime Export With FCP Markers

    Is there a plugin/program that would allow me to export a Quicktime that includes markers from the FCP timeline?
    I would like to be able to export a QT with a marker at every cut that would allow the viewer to jump to each one, and even loop between marks.
    What I am NOT looking for:
    DVD Chapter Markers.
    A QT tutorial of how to Trim to Selection and Loop.

    If you export with markers they will show up in the QuickTime file and the markers should show up in the pulldown in the QuickTime Player you can jump to the markers.
    But it sounds like you want to be able to author a QuickTime movie that adds something more than that (the looping or another means of jumping?)

  • What version of QuickTime goes with FCP 6.0.3?

    I'm running OS X.4.11 and I've gotta be careful how far I take QuickTime for the sake of other applications on my rig. I can't seem to find spec info to tell me what version of QT runs with 6.0.3.

  • Virus software compatibility with FCP

    Are there any issues regarding running an anti virus software whilst running FCP, I have heard differing views, most subscribing that you end up with lots of problems. Currently I'm the only person using a Mac in an office environment where everyone is using a PC. IT won't allow me access to internet/email etc., unless an anti virus software is installed. Any answers ???
    thx

    You need to talk to your IT people explain how the Mac OS X software operates.
    Where capturing and video editing is concerned, I always recommend to turn off and uninstall all background utilities whose purpose is to scan files.
    That includes virus software
    I'm more conservative on this than Michael, but the problem lies in IT people that lack information.
    Ask them to get educated.

  • Avid Mbox Pro 3 Compatable with FCP?

    I am attemping to use my Mbox Pro 3 to do voice over in both Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro 3 but can not seem to get any audio into the application.
    I have the core driver software and the MBox Driver installed on My MacPro  and the Mbox Pro is selected under system Preferences as the input device.  It shows that I am getting a sound level coming from my Mbox Pro into the computer as I can see the input level register in the sound preferences input window when I speak into my mic.  For output, I currently have Headphones selected but I tried everthing at one time to see if I could get signal into FCP or STP.
    When in FCP and with the voice over box open, it shows Mbox Pro as the source and input, yet I can get no signal level on the input level.
    When in STP under preferences recording- input- I have the Mbox Pro selected.
    I have track number 1 armed and ready to record and on the track- Mbox pro is selected.
    Under the recording pane for track 1, the mbox pro is selected as the input device.
    Everthing looks like it should work yet no audio signal on either level indicator in FCP 7 or STP 3.
    Am I simply missing some key step or is the Mbox 3 Pro not compatible with FCS
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or info.

    Thanks for the suggestions Cristina.  I finally got it to work and I'm not sure what the issue was.  I was running a Rode NT2-A through a UA Solo 6-10 pre amp and then into Line input channel 3 of the Mbox Pro 3.  For some reason, I could not get FCP or STP to see the signal coming out of the mbox into my Mac Pro.  Out of desperation, I bypassed my UA preamp and ran my Rode directly into Mic channel 1 on the Mbox Pro and now the signal is comming into STP and FCP
    Just to be sure, I switched it back and ran my mic into the UA pre amp first and then into input 3 of the Mbox PRo and again no signal registered in FCP or STP.
    No clue why it won't see the signal if I'm running my mic through an external preamp first but at least I know I can get it to work with the Mbox 3's preamps although they are not as good as the UA.

  • Export 16:9 .move file with FCP

    Hello,
    Since May this year I cannot export my FCP 16:9 project to a 16:9 .mov file anymore. The last good one I exported was May 4th, 2009. When I open this QuickTime file with FCP it is widescreen. I exported the same project on May 27th. That .mov file is letterboxed when opening it with FCP.
    I never used QuickTime Pro because this program could and can only display my videos letterboxed.
    I tried several options to try to export the movie 16:9 (Current Settings, DV PAL 48 kHz Anamorphic).
    Someone advised me to use the Cmd-J option in Quicktime, but before May 27th, the export was good and I could use it in iDVD. But since that date it is not possible anymore. When importing the movie directly in iDVD, it is 4:3 format. And after changed it to 1024 with Cmd-J in QuickTime it is halfwidescreen in iDVD (looks like 14:9 i.s.o. 16:9)
    How can I get my old good working version of FCP back I had on May, 4th and earlier ?
    Or how can I export to QuickTime movie that gives me a 16:9 video again as it was before May 27th ?
    Thanks,
    Hubert

    Hello,
    I tried a new 16:9 project. In this new project FCP the video is exported in 16:9 format.
    So there must be somewhere a 16:9/4:3 option switch in my old 16:9 project.
    Where can this option be set to 16:9 ?
    Thanks,
    Hubert

  • FCP giving a vertical stretch to Quicktime file with matching seq. settings

    I created a moving background that contains a logo in After Effects and rendered it out as a Quicktime movie with the DV/NTSC 720 x 480 settings. The file looks great when I open it in Quicktime. However, when I import it in to my Final Cut sequence, it's stretching slightly...enough to distort the logo. My FCP sequence setting is the DV/DVCPRO preset. 720 x 480.
    Any idea why it's doing this? If I go in to "distort," I can adjust the aspect ratio to look normal, but then I have a black letterbox look.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    Using FCP version 6.0.6

    Sounds like After Effects was set to square pixels (pixel aspect). Look for the 0.9 pixel aspect setting or export as 720x540 square pixels.

  • Is quicktime 7.5 compatible with FCP 3.0.4?

    Hi,
    I'm using Quicktime 6.5.3 on the below computer, running FCP 3.0.4. Recently I've wanted to upgrade my Quicktime to version 7.5 for Panther (10.3.9). Would this Quicktime upgrade cause any problems with FCP 3.0.4?
    (I know I'm using old versions, but they work just fine for my purposes.)
    If anyone know, thanks very much!
    Cheers

    DON'T DO IT!
    Stick with current QT. FCP3 works best with QT 6.2...should be ok with 6.5 if you're running OS X.3.9 as your specs state. See this list for best combos...
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/cats/28/index2.html
    If you need QT 7.5 for other reasons, you might set up a dual boot system. Search this forum for ways to do that.

  • Import Problem with FCP quicktime file.

    Hi,
    I exported my 18 minute video with FCP quicktime (instead of quicktime conversion I did export quicktime video in FCP). When I try to add this video to DVD Studio Pro, The first thirty seconds of video import and all the sound imports but no video imports after that first 30 seconds.
    Does anybody have any idea what this is?
    Thanks!

    Sounds like a corrupt file. You should try opening it in QT and then saving it out with a different name if it works OK there. Be sure to make a self contained file, not a reference file.
    However, you may find it better to export from FCP through to Compressor and create your MPEG2 files there before bringing them in to DVDSP. This is a better work flow for lots of reasons, ensures you use a dedicated encoder and releases DVDSP to concentrate on what it does best (which certainly isn't the encoding, IMO!)

  • HELP. Quicktime Movies from FCP with DVCPro = Black Boxes across image.

    When exporting my HD movie from Final Cut Pro (5) using either Quicktime Movie or Quicktime COnversion with the footage's native setting of DVCPro HD 720p the resulting movie has thick black rectangles on the left and right sides and one right in the middle.
    Is it a codec issue?
    Please help.

    It is a 16X9 CROP, not some sort of anamorphic distortion... so just choose that, and export...
    If you set it to be 320X180 THAT will distort it. It should start as 320X240. The crop then results in 320X180. If it's new software it's Compressor 3.

  • FCP 7 compatibility with newer OS?

    I am an editor who has not made the jump to FCP X. Everything I have been reading in my research for answers was posted between 2011 and the present. I read where Final Cut Studio will work with Lion. I am unclear if it will work with Mountain Lion. I wanted to install some plugins but it said I needed 10.7 or above to do the install and I am still using 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on my iMac machine and Leopard on my Macbook Pro. I am just trying to see what OS I can upgrade to and still be able to edit work with FCP 7.
    Thanks!

    Final Cut Pro 7 runs fine on my installations of osx 10.7.5 and 10.8.5.
    Key things to note: I keep very clean machines. I don't junk up the hard drives with lots of useless apps and DiskWarrior is run regularly. Some apps (eg Compressor) act oddly on occasion.
    your mileage may vary.
