Recording master back to XDCam disc with Final Cut

Hello there
Sorry for the vague question- I work at a TV station using XDCam for shooting/editing (a mixture of SD and HD)... but they haven't worked out how to archive material... eg where to keep masters of finished programs, compilations of b-roll likely to be needed again etc.
Can the XDCam decks (we have PDW-F30 models) be used to record back onto? Is there anyone using them in this way- eg to generate master copies of programs or segments?
This station can't afford a server-based archive, and we can't archive onto digital tape so would this work? Could we make compilation discs of b-roll and slowly fill them up on XDCam? (Then we could re-use discs for shooting and save some more money).
I have previously worked in environments where DigiBeta was the standard and everything could be kept on tape, from finished programs to b-roll- can XDCam be used in the same way?

Export > Sony XDCAM works just fine, however it is mind bogglingly slow in practice. If this is going to be something you're doing a lot then you'd be better off getting an F75 or similar and laying back to disc via HD-SDI.

  • Can you burn multible movies on one bluray dvd disc with final cut pro

    how to burn two completed quick time movies to blu ray dvd with final cut pro? Ive tried but wont play

    Mark,
    Welcome to the wild and wacky world of DVD's and Mpeg2!
    Here are a few things that might help.
    it seems to want everything as a QT. This presents size limitations.
    Not really, iDVD simply takes the QT files that you feed it and uses its own compressor to encode them to mpeg2 files. As long as your source material is not over 2 hours iDVD can handle it.
    I'm planning to export from fcp using Compressor in the hope of fitting everything onto one disc
    You can do this, but you might find it simpler to simply export a QT reference movie from FCP and drag that into DVDSP. DVDSP will then use compressor to create the mpeg2 files that you need. I say this because some find compressor a little intimidating at first. (I know that I still do.)
    Now, go find the manuals that came with your software and start reading, DVDSP is a powerful program and the manuals are the best place to start.
    Good luck!

  • Anyone using XDCAM-EX with Final Cut Server?

    I'm drawing a blank on the right way to setup our xdcam workflow. We have a drive full of online projects with BPAV folders (everything off the xdcam's media). What's the right way to get it into FCS? All my other files were prores mov files, so I just created devices that represented those drives and voila. For the arcane xdcam file structure however...
    Any suggestions or light for the end of the tunnel?
    Thanks,
    Eric.

    In the meantime I discovered the proper way to use the XDCAM Transfer application to re-encapsulate the MP4 files as MOV files, so the looks like the way to go. It's a little counter intuitive that the transfer application has an "import" button that exports the files as mov files, unless you launch it from within FCP, in which case the import button imports the files into final cut pro project...
    We're planning on doing a batch conversion and then ingesting them as we did all the other assets.

  • My LaCie harddrive dos'nt wrk with Final Cut Pro 5

    Hi There. I've got some problem using my Lacie disc with Final Cut 5 on my iMac G5 17". If I disconnect the Lacie Disc - Final Cut works fine. With the disc attatched final cut can´t find the camera and dosn't start properly. They're both connected thrue Fire Wire and when they're connected at the same time they take out eachother. I had a simalar prolem whit an othter computer a couple of month ago and it was solved by downloading a plug in from Lacie or somewhere. I don't remember.

    David,
    I'm not disagreeing with the speed thing, all I'm saying is that when I use USB2 to edit from I've never, ever had a problem at, least with DVPal. I think what we have here is a theory that USB2 is no good for editing rather than the reality. I'd be interested to hear from people who are having problems editng via USB2 in practice.
    It's a bit like the HDV thing - I notice the main detractors of this format are people who don't actually use it because they can afford not to, probably the same people who dismissed Mini DV when it first came out. In fact, a friend of mine who calls himself a professional cameraman was dismayed when the VX1000 started to replace the Beta SP in news gathering because the only reason he became a cameraman was because he thought he looked cool with the SP strapped on his hip - size was everything!
    Right, off my soapbox.

  • Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

    Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
    Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
    Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

    Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
    In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?

  • How can we transform a video from progressive to interlaced with final cut?

    How can we transform a video from progressive (720x1080 50p) to interlaced (PAL) with final cut pro???????
    The video is taken with Sony EX3

    Hi Nick
    Sorry but your first link says +"The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable."+ ... but tell me, are you viewing these interlaced encodes yourself on an interlaced monitor (eg are you burning them to disc and viewing on a TV) as they are meant to be seen, or are you just playing them back from file on your (progressive) computer display?
    By the way, I did manage to download your source file and encoded it here. Looks ok to me ... in a addition to the instruction above, I also changed the Field Dominance in the Encoder > Video Format tab to Top First (it defaulted to progressive due to the progressive source file).
    Let me know if that helps

  • Problems with Final Cut Pro HD 4.5

    Hi gang
    I posted something similar a few weeks ago about this problem, and since then, my problem has only gotten worse. Here's the basics: I'm using FCP HD 4.5 on a MacBook (apparently that's trouble right there.) I did the thing where you change something in the properties to get around the required video card. So the program works, right? Sure.
    I shot some video on a Cannon XL-2 (which I thought was Hi-Def, but apparently it's not.) The camera was rented, so I obviously don't have it anymore. I have been trying to import the video on to my laptop, via an external hard drive (like 30GB) using a Sony Handycam (borrowed from my office.)
    The first problem was that there was no audio on the tapes shot on the XL. I'm going to go ahead and say that some how....that was my fault. Not sure how, but I'll take the blame. Now, I'm trying to import this silent footage, and I keep running into a problem, and that problem is this: the important stops after a few seconds, and there's a message about how there is some kind of error on the tape. This is super frustrating, and I think when I was working on this the other night, the tape eventually just stopped showing video, even though something is obviously there.
    Now, here's a few questions. Is it because I'm using a somewhat small external hard drive that may not have enough space on it to keep processing the video? Is it because I'm using a different camera to try and get this video? Should I try using another Cannon, or should I go as far as to track down another XL-2 to rent? Is it something wrong with Final Cut? Some setting or something?
    If someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

    The XL-2 does not shoot 'High Def". It records DV in either 4:3 or 16:9 anamorphic formats.
    Here's my standard "so you are using a Canon camcorder to capture and it isn't working" routine:
    Not all Canon cameras have connection issues, but hanging around this site I've come to recognize their ability to connect in FCP is the most problematic of all the camera brands. If you have a Canon camcorder, and can not get it to connect up with FCP, the following is a way to sort through the issues and get it to work. Some are elegant - some are ugly.
    Before we go any farther
    -you should be using 'Firewire Basic' as the control protocol. If you aren't, go change it and try again.
    -Also, verify that you have a solid installation of Quicktime. You may want to reinstall it using the 'delete receipts' method. Do a quick search here on the site - it is mentioned daily if not hourly.
    With some confidence that the software installation and camera settings are correct and it still won't capture correctly, you are most likely a victim of the dread 'Canon firewire bus incompatibility problem'. Simply stated: Canon cameras do not play well with other devices on the same firewire bus. And, since all the firewire ports on a Mac connect to one bus - well - you get the picture.
    The most direct solution is to purchase another, non-Canon device to use as your capturing machine. The Sony DSR-11 is highly recommended for DV work. A deck will save wear and tear on the camera's lightweight drive mechanism and will allow you to permanently connect a NTSC/PAL monitor for proper viewing. (If you are working with HDV, you will have other issues ...)
    Beyond replacing your tape playback device, the path you take depends on the model of computer you own.
    1. If you have a G5 tower or a MacPro, capture to a second internal drive with only the camera attached. If you need to move material to firewire drive, disconnect the camera. A second internal drive is quite inexpensive these days if you do not already have one.
    2. If you have a G5 tower (PCI) MacPro (PCI), G4 powerbook (PCMCIA) or MacBookPro (Expresscard 34) with an available slot, purchase the appropriate firewire card for the slot. Connect your camera to the card and you should be good to go. The new card creates a unique bus and will avoid collisions with the external drives.
    3. If you do not have a slot or a second internal drive and you are stuck with the camera, welcome to the camera/drive shuffle.
    - shut down and remove the external hard drive(s) from the system
    - connect the camera directly to the firewire port of the computer
    - start the camera then the computer
    - capture to your internal (system) hard drive
    - shut down the camera and computer
    - disconnect the camera and reconnect the external hard drive(s)
    - start hard drive(s) and computer
    - move captured files to external hard drive(s)
    - edit
    If you output back to tape or wish to view your work on an external Video (NTSC or PAL) monitor, you need to set up the camera to use the firewire out as the A/DV converter or VTR - which means reversing the steps:
    - copy the file back to the internal drive
    - shut everything down
    - disconnect the external drive(s)
    - connect the camera to the firewire port (and the TV to the camera if needed)
    - start the camera then the computer
    - play the file.
    One caveat here - You may have difficulty getting the file back to tape without dropping frames. Playing files off of the system drive is very demanding and they may have a hard time keeping up.
    All in all, if you do not have the option for second bus (i.e. iMacs, eMacs, iBooks, MacBooks) you may want to think about a computer with expandable options next time.
    There is the option of capturing using iMovie, but that brings on it's own set of problems and is not recommended.
    Good luck.

  • Is my issue with Final Cut Pro or my Macbook pro?

    I'm going to try to be as thorough as possible in explaining my situation because I can't figure this problem out and it's exhausting me. I have an early 2011 macbook pro with the 2.2 ghz processor. I upgraded to 16gb of ram almost a year ago. I've been using Final Cut Pro 7 on this computer for several years now without issue and have made no setting changes that would prompt my problems. A few months ago my battery decided to stop holding a charge and now just registers 0%. Around the same time, while editing a short video my computer began behaving like it was overheating. It would crash, restart, crash and then restart again. After I did a disk and permissions repair it began to work normally again and I haven't had any more crashing issues. Around this period of time I began noticing that when my computer turns on it doesn't register the correct time and date. Given a few moments it corrects itself, but for some strange reason it was doing that every time.
    Anyway, around that time I tried to upgrade to Mavericks and experienced an issue during installation because my hard drive was apparently damaged in some way and the installation couldn't be completed. I restored my previous OS and tried to carry on as I was with the damaged hard drive for as long as I could. I was still able to do everything I needed on the computer. I could still edit videos with Final Cut. I could still browse the internet. I could still stream Netflix.
    About a month ago Final Cut stopped working. I could open the program, start a new project and import media files, but when I dragged them into the timeline, they just stuttered (audio would play but video would lag and then jump several frames then lag and jump frames). At the time I assumed this was because my hard drive finally gave up, but I was still able to do other functions like browse the internet and stream basketball games with nba league pass (granted they weren't crisp hd - on a side note, netflix was also behaving oddly. when I would browse through my list, it wouldn't stop scrolling when I moved the mouse away.) so I assumed the hard drive was my issue.
    I just replaced my hard drive with an ssd (crucial m500) and upgraded to mavericks (10.9.1) and now I am having the same issues. Netflix behaves fine. Basketball games stream fine. My battery is still dead (obviously that wasn't going to change). I get the wrong date and time for a minute, but I'm thinking that's battery related now. But Final Cut still lags to the point where I can't use it. Video clips also won't render. I thought this might be an issue with the Final Cut program so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still did the same thing. Assuming I hadn't correctly/completely uninstalled it, I downloaded HitFilm 2 (an editing program that had a free download promotion at the time), figuring using a different program, if i could edit video with it, then my issue is with Final Cut and not my computer. Unfortunaely, I'm having the same lagging issues with HitFilm as I was with Final Cut.
    I'm at a loss as to what the problem is. Sorry if this was a rambling post, but I wanted to get as much of the background out there as possible, should it provides anyone with a clue as to what is the issue here. Does anyone have any idea what could be at fault here? I'm stumped.

  • Issues Capturing with Final Cut Express

    Hi
    I am currently having issues capturing with Final Cut Express. I am using a Firewire 800 gold speed cable 9pin/4pin with my Sony LSF-S58 camera. I use mini DV tapes and usually capture on other computers with no problems. However this time I am using Final Cut Express version 4.0.1 along with a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter so it'll connect with my MAC Book Pro (Operating system OS X 10.6.8). The issue is when I open Final Cut's capture option there is a message at the bottom that says "No Communicatin" I have tried various settings within easy set-up and nothing seems to work as well as browsing this help board along with others looking for the answer. Any help anyone can provide would be great. Thanks.

    When I Google LSF-S58, I get a Sony Lens Hood, not a camera. Are you recording in HD or SD?
    Have you used the Thunderbolt to Firewire convertor successfully on your computer with other devices?
    Have you used the Thunderbolt port successfully with other Thunderbolt devices?
    I don't know if this is applicable to your computer, but there is a Thunderbolt software update for 10.6.8 here:

  • Is Mt. Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 7?

    I am currently running Lion (10.7.5) on a 27" iMac 3.4 Ghz.
    Is Mt. Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 7 and FCS 3? Will these programs still run or will they be not supported by the new OS as has been the case with past apps when a new OS is introduced?
    Thanks,

    I have a 2gig HD for backing up my system HD . The backup HD is partitioned into 20 - 1 gig partitions. I use the Carbon Copy Cloner app to make a clone copy of the system HD. Never had a problem. If I need to I can boot from one of the clone partition or copy file from.
    (Just make sure your FPC media and video files are on a external HD (firewire for example) other than a USB 2 HD. FCP does't work properly with USB 2 drives.)

  • Help please importing mpeg files to be edited with Final Cut Studio

    Hey everyone, new to the video editing thing. I have a JVC GY-HM100U Pro HD camcorder and a MacBook Pro 5,1 with 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4 GB 1067 MHz DPR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M & NVIDIA GeForce 9600MGT running OSX 10.5.8. Have recorded footage in mpeg4 and want to now edit using Final Cut Pro 7. Have downloaded Quicktime Pro and am still getting a "the movie could not be opened when trying to import the mp4 file. The movie contains some invalid data" window when trying to open the mpeg4 file. I have also downloaded DivX, FF Player, & Handbrake if these help convert to another supported file format. Please help!

    That camera is promoted on the JVC website as being Final Cut Pro compatible.
    Have you tried to import the clips via Log & Transfer?
    You might also want to read up on the [workflow for that type of camera|http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/professionalformatsandwork flows/#chapter=6%26section=0].
    Have downloaded Quicktime Pro....
    QuickTime Pro is installed automaticallly with Final Cut Studio. No need to buy it again.
    I have also downloaded DivX, FF Player, & Handbrake...
    That software is all pretty much useless for working with Final Cut Studio.
    MPEG Streamclip is free and much better.

    Can and how do I move the downloaded application from my old machine to a new computer?
    Thanks!

    You purchase FCX in the Mac App Store, there is no disc. You can reload past purchases under your account within the app store. You should also be regularly backing up your system

  • Pixelation with Final Cut Pro HD

    This question has probably been answered many times but overall in Final Cut Pro I've been having a problem with it and I just want a final explanation (FCP 4, FCP HD, FCP 5)
    Whenever I add a title to my video, I do my basic render and play it back with cinema desktop preview, and it looks a bit pixelated. I can understand that my dv footage looks bad, but my titles look BAD when played back. I have everything at the highest settings. I can always SCRUB and frame by frame view my video at the high quality I would like but when I play it back it turns pixelated again. When I use a T.V. to view my external video, it looks fine, but it would be helpful if it looked good on the computer monitor.
    Can somebody answer my stupid question?

    First, you might want to view the footage in QuickTime Player. But be sure check your preferences so that "Use high quality video setting when available" is checked. If it is not pixeled in QuickTime Player with this setting enabled, your problem is with Final Cut playback settings.
    If the footage is showing pixelization in both apps, you are probably experiencing artifacting, which is a natural effect of all digital compressed footage. You can minimize this by using the highest quality format available when editing. It is normal for footage to get pixelized in footage with alot of motion or fine detail. I'm assuming you're using DV format or HDV format. Both of these have this problem.
    If you would like to try something that might help this, visit www.natress.com. Under the free plugins menu you'll find an experimental FCP plugin called G Low Pass which claims to limit the amount of detail in a scene when things get too busy. This reduces the likelyhood of artifacting when applied to DV footage and it seems to help in a very subtle way.
    As for DVD playback having occasional large, blocky pixels, it could be a small scratch on the DVD surface, or perhaps a poor burn. But if the footage has the same problems in QuickTime Player, the DVD isn't to blame.

  • Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

    Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

    Hi
    Yes and no.
    You can't get an editable material over from one to the other.
    eg a misspelled word in iMovie project can't be corrected in FCE/P any version.
    I use iMovie combined with FCE/P in just one case when there are to many drop outs
    on the raw material eg recorded in LP-mode (90min on a 60min tape)
    Then iMovie can import in a more forgiving way.
    BUT
    When this material is moved over to FCE/P the audio parts needs to be rendered
    not just one time but whenever any change is done. A very nearv-wrecking and tedious
    procedure.
    Summary. Joint project should use same platform. In my cases me and friend has
    each one full version of FCE4 and an external hard disk that contain the movie
    project.
    This we exchange with each other to do each the parts that we are on best to do.
    Yours Bengt W
