Rough cut on iMovie

Hi I have got a quick project to complete..
I am planning to have my rough cut on iMove then finalise it in FCP5.
I know there might be some problem when I import iMovie clips into FCP... but not clear of what they are.
I will be very greatful if anyone can give me a quick outline of what I should be aware....
Thank you so much in advance.
OH, the only reason I will be doing the cut in iMovie is because, at my client's environment, there is only iMovie to use and I have to work together during importing clips & the rough cut stage.
PowerBook G4 1.33 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I highly doubt this will work. MANY reasons why:
-iMovie projects cannot be opened by FCP
-iMovie DOES NOT CAPTURE TIMECODE. That is HUGE for offline/online edits
-iMovie captures .dv files...very different than .mov files...again...no timecode.
And this footage will have to be rendered in FCP.
-iMovie edits destructively (or it did last time I looked) and doesn't allow for re-use of shots
In fact, I cannot think of one good reason...ANY reason to do what you are suggesting. It just plain won't work.
Buy Final Cut Express...or does FCE do timecode? I know you can't log and capture, and that it works with DV only...but not sure about the TC issue.
ANYWAYS. No. Don't do this.
#20 Using iMovie to Capture for FCP edit
Shane's Stock Answer #20:
iMovie handles the media differently from FCP, specifically where audio is concerned. So it is not a recommended workflow. Here's why...
iMovie captures using DV Stream (.dv) standard which does not use timecode. That is a big disadvantage over the way that FCP captures in that you can't go back and recapture the material at a later date if you need to revisit a project.
The DV/NTSC specification (the one FCP uses) also calls for seperate tracks for audio and video, even if you capture it as one clip. iMovie' DV stream format is muxed audio and video, which means that they are tied together (I can't get into specifics because I ain't no engineer or programmer). FCP is a bit more demanding and captures the seperate audio/video tracks, either in a single media file or as seperate video and audio files. With FCP you could capture video only or audio only because each is defined by the DV specs. while with iMovie you can't.
Also, if you drop the iMovie footage into the timeline, your will get the RED render bar forcing you to render the footage in order to see it...

Just Curious...when editing small projects do you use Final Cut or iMovie?

I need to learn how to edit in final cut, just wondering how much of a learning curve there is and what people's preference would be...editing in FC or iMovie 09
thanks

small, quick 'n dirty = iM09
advanced, elaborated (=compositings, 'grading', SpecialFX) = FC/e4
esp, from iM09>>FC the learning curve is extreme! FC is a professional tool, no 'one click done', needs a lot of background knowledge, how things are done (=not the app, the concept ..)
I'm using both, simultanously for some projects - iM09's 'skimming' is an excellent tool for a 'rough pre-cut', .. and I LOVE the green-screen effect in iM, compared to less-intuitive color-key in FC/e ...
but, the more you get used to FC's interface, the faster you're working with it. => I would love to see an optional 'quick edit mode' in FC/e as in iM! both apps are from the same master-mind, greetings to Randy U.!

Rough cut planning-sop

Dear Friends,
For doing roughcut plan for one finished good , first i have created versions as per product group.then next step is disaggregate to sub groups. then after to material. now i got planning qty's for particular material. to do roughcut planning as against material quantites i have created one rough cut plan by selecting one workcentre as constraint(via t-code mc35).After doing this system is giving message roughcut profile is generated. then i went for mc88 to look after my work centre capacity load. i am getting gray position on view tab. so that iam not able to click on the view tab to serve the desired.how to de-gray.
extras>capacity situation> ______view.
pls.suggest how to solve the problem or is there any settings involved at workcentre or routing level or any setting is needed to pop up view tab. it will be very helpful to me.

Hi,
Create a prod group using mc84.
create a rc plan using mc81.
create a rc cap profile using mc35, here give the base qty as 1, lot size etc...
Then in the resource , give the bottle neck workcenter . & enter the time to produce one piece in that particular work center.
use mc82, & choose the corresponding inactive version no.
In mc82 view, after checking the capacity situation(By choosing view, capacity situation, show) you can check the load for that particular resource. Once the load is 100 %. You can save it.
Use mc78, copy the inactive version no to active no. (a00).
Then in mc82 view, go to Extras,
transfer to demand management,
Choose the strategy as LSF/VSF... according to your scenario & then click transfer.
Hope this helps...

Rough cut planning in SOP for resource levelling

Hello,
I am trying rough cut planning in SOP.
I have created rough cut planning profile for a product group by using MC35.
The task list exits for the product group.
In task list , work centre is maintained and the same is given while creating the rough cut profile.
This product group contains some part number.
When I try Views--->capacity situation -> rough cut planning--->show.
System gives error that -
> No resource load found.
<u><b>Diagnosis given by system is as follows,</b></u>
This situation may be caused by one or more of the following:
     No PP task list (rough-cut planning profile, rate routing, or routing) corresponding to the Customizing selection criteria has been defined for this material/product group at this scheduling level.
     Resources planning has not been configured appropriately in Customizing.
     The information structure which you are planning has not been configured appropriately in Customizing.
System Response
No capacity load could be determined.
Procedure
1. Check that a PP task list exists for this material/product group.
2. Check that a lot size range has been maintained in the PP task list.
3. Have your systems administrator check and, if necessary, change the resources planning settings in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning (the steps "Scheduling levels" and "Routing selection").
4. Have your systems administrator check that capacity planning has been defined for this information structure in Customizing.
Please let me know how to maintain the resource planning settings for scheduling level and routing selection.
Waiting for your reply.

Ravindra Deokule

Hi Ravindra,
You can use t.code mc84 to create a product group.
Pl follow the following steps to do SOP with product group.
1. Create a Product group in tcode MC84.
Enter a percentage for material say X & Y to be produced. X 40% & Y 60%. Total qty will be split in the ratio as per the %.
2. Create Production Plan in tcode MC81.
Enter the sales plan qty.
Then goto menu,edit & choose create Prodn Plan synchronus to sales.
3. Create Rough cut Planning Profile in tcode MC35.
4. Enter the Status ,Usage & lot size.
5. Choose resources tab & then choose work center & enter work center name which you consider as a bottle neck & then enter the unit of measure as 'min'.
6. Use MC82,
Choose inactive version and select your version.
then goto menu->views> capacity situation>show
7.Check for over loads & adjust your qty acordingly.once the load becomes 100 % save.
8. Change the inactive version to Active version in tcode MC78.
ie in the version enter the inactive version & in the target version enter'A00'
9.In mc82 choose active version, you can see that the plan is activated now.
10.In the menu choose extras & transfer to demand mgmnt.
11.You can see the requirement in the md62 transaction.
12.Then run mrp.
Also regarding the unit of measure in t.code mc35,
If you select your resource as 'workcenter' & choose min or hour & then you enter 1(eg) in the first field against the work center. This means it takes 1 min or hour to produce 1pc(base quantity) in that particular workcenter(bottleneck workcenter)
Reg: Capacity calculation in mc87,follow the eg as above.Enter 1 min as time & base qty as 1 in mc35. Then check in mc87, you will get the load in %. ie if your work center is permitted to work for 8 hours/day & you pass a production plan of 480, then your load will match for 100%.

How can we define time stamp in rough cut planning profile

Hi all
There is no time stamp(From date to date) in Rough cut planning profile and it is just time span (0-5 ,5-10,... workdays) . If I have different capacity for my resource in different intervals how should I define it so that in planning table it can take it to account and show me requirement versus avalilable capacity acoordingly.Note that we are working with repetitive plannig and our resources are lines which have different production rate between each interval.

Babak Bolourchi

Dear,
In REM you can use planning table through MF50 for your requirement.

Rough Cut Planning Profile in SOP

Hi,
Need an input on the Values keyed in to the Rough cut capacity profile? Is there any documentation on the same?
I have maintained the Time span as 1 work day and the basse quantity as 1. In the resource table, i have keyed in the work center and the unit as H. Now when i maintain a value of 1 under the first day the capacity req is 1 in SOP but when i maintain a value of 1 in day 1 and day 2- the capacity requirement doubles

Rough cut planning profile

Hi Gurus,
Our scenario is we have two plants.The sales orders and the PIRs will be created in the Plant 1 and these requirements will be transferred as Stock transport orders to plant 2(with special procurement key) .All the materials will be manufactured in plant2.BOMs and routings are maintained in Plant 2.
In this case if i want to maintain the rought cut planning profile , how can i map the scenario.
Please help me in this.
Thanks in advance,
Ravi

Hi Krishna,
There are two plants.
Plant 1
Plant 2
We will be creating PIRs in Plant 1.There is a special procurement key maintained for material which will say stock transfer from plant 2.
The below are the steps:
1. Create PIRs in the plant1.
2. Run MRP
3. STO req. will be created in Plant 1 against the PIRs.
4. As the special procurement key is maintained in material master Planned orders will be generated in plant 2 against these STOs from plant1.And production will be done in plant 2.
So, now if i want to do rough cut plannig profile how can i proceed.
Thanks,
Ravi

Rough Cut Planning Profile MC35

Hi all,
I was trying to check capacity rough cut planning in product group level, so i have to make the RCPP (ROugh Cut Planning Profile) in that product group level using MC35,
i still confuse with the time span, base qty and the value in resource table at MC35, what is the connection between these 3 value??
regards,
MARUFAT

Hi,
i still confuse with the time span and the resource table in RCCP MC35
i enter the time span with value 1, and the resource table column will give value 1,2,3,...
and when i enter the time span with 5, the resource table column will give value 0-5, 6-10, ...
if i enter the base qty is 5000 to, with time span value 1, and in resource table i enter for column 1 with value 40 and column 2 with value 50, what is the meaning of that? ( the Resource table use work center with UOM HR )

Rough Cut Planning Profile-by Capacity category

Hai,
I am creating Rough Cut Planning Profiles in ECC6.0 for use in Standad SOP (S076). In MC35, I don't see a place where I can enter by Work center category- like I want both Machine and Labour categories as I have different times for each category.
{ when I view the rough-cut capacity situation in MC82, system displays both categroies, but it is based on only the hours I maintained for one of the categories- how do I maintain for both categories?}
Thank you in advance:)
Sonali
Edited by: Sonali on Apr 28, 2009 3:05 PM

Hello Sonali,
Rough cut capacity planning is used only for bottle neck resources.Analyze your process and you will come to know for the product group or material which category or machine is bottleneck.
Create a rought cut planning profile for a production line or Workcenter or PRT or Cost(Relative cost not product cost).
PS:Roughtcut capcity planning should not be used for all the workcenters.
Thanks,

Can't capture from my cannon video camera to Final Cut or iMovie.

Hi. I can't capture from my cannon video camera to FInal Cut or iMovie. ANy help would be greatly appreciated. I don't think my iMac is recognizing the camera. I was told I don't need a firewire, that USB would work if I'm just capturing. If I need a firewire what kind (the one I was sold didn't fit). I'm getting an "unable to locate external device message". Not sure of next steps to try. Thanks.

Forget USB for capturing from tape. USB is only for stills from a Tape Based camera.
You require a firewire cable.
The camera connection end will be four pin and the Mac is nine pin to the 800 port.
Ask for a 9 to 4 pin firewire cable. Sounds like you have the wrong one as they can also be 4 to 4 or 4 to 6 pin!!
Also you will need the correct Easy Setup in FCE so FCE talk to the camera, exactly which one depends on what type of footage is being sent to FCE from the camera during capture.
