Since I downloaded Yosemite Final Cut Express including the manuals are in German. How do I change that into English again?

How to change language in FCE after installing Yosemite?

Try this:
Go to the Apple Menu > System Preferences
Click on Language and Region
In the Pane on the left, make sure only your desired language is listed.
Close System Preferences
Restart your computer

  • Does final cut express have the functionality like macromedia flash 8?

    does final cut express have the functionality like macromedia flash 8? I'm looking to compile my movie for easy viewing on the internet

    The link of my 3-minute video of Native American Indian dancing (above) has been changed to: http://www.goliveusa.com/MoviesFlv/PowWow.html
    where it should remain for at least the next two years.
    Part of this change has to do with a discontent with .Mac, thought that is certainly a topic for another forum.
    Since back here at this thread, and considering the initial forum topic, I'd guess it would be appropriate to ask: "What is meant by the term: functionality?"
    FCE is a a video editing program. Flash 8 is graphic animation program.
    You can incorporate video into Flash 8 and do extra animation with it.

  • Final Cut Express, suddenly the application doesn't let me save project

    Final Cut Express, suddenly the application doesn't let me save project

    Do you have available space on the disk drive you are storing on?
    When FCE begins to act in unexpected ways, the usual first step is to delete the FCE preferences:

    The easiest way to do this is to download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free):

  • I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please?

    I am new to Final Cut Express and don't understand why I am unable to drag transitions into Canvas? Something wrong in my setup? It's not the overlays they are "on" so can anyone advise me please, by the way the "L" doesn't appear in the bottom left hand corner either? and by the way how can I get rid of that irritating Blue badge saying "AutoFill your contact details" all mine are in "address book" already!

    You can't drag a transition into the canvas. If you're dragginmg a transition from the effects tab you drag it between the edit point of two clips in the timeline.
    Make sure show edit overlays is turned on in the Canvas view popup.

  • Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

    Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

    Absolutely.  Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion).  Make sure you check the Self-Contained box.  The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added.  Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

  • Xacti HD and Final Cut Express -- It used to work great! How do I go back?

    I have a Sanyo Xacti HD700. It gives me 1280x720 MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 files, which my Mac just loves. I used to be able to quickly edit the clips together in Final Cut Express, export using complementary QuickTime settings (specifically, those recommended by Vimeo for HD playback), and get beautiful MP4 files, relatively quickly.
    Then, one day, a friend needed me to edit a quick video using a DV camcorder. It was confusing as heck getting the footage into FCE, and not particularly elegant getting it out. But, the project was done overnight, I washed my hands of it, and wanted to get back to making beautiful MP4 files again, relatively quickly.
    Except I can't! Now, for one, encoding takes hours. Hours! My source videos and export videos are very similar, yet I sit and watch as the estimate for completion actually goes up for an hour before slowly coming back down.
    And frankly, that would be fine, except now my exported videos are the wrong size. They include letterboxes, and the video itself is squished, stretched. So I wait four times as long for a ghastly video. The best I could do is use the Quicktime export settings to "crop off" the letterboxing, but there's still some black bars and it's just not the same.
    Here's how my videos used to look:
    http://vimeo.com/1067235
    Here's how an exported video looks now:
    http://vimeo.com/1655414?pg=embed&sec=1655414
    What happened? Out of the box, everything worked perfectly. Now, tainted with actual tape, Final Cut Express seems like it's running my videos through six extra wringers and giving me clips worse than I'd get just cut-and-paste editing the Xacti files in QuickTime Pro!
    I Googled my brains out, and all I've learned is, if I had Final Cut Pro, "Project Settings" would have all the switches I need. Well, I don't have FCP, just FCE.
    Somewhere, something was set that I want to unset. Can anyone help? Do I have to delete every trace of FCE and just reinstall?
    Mahalo for any advice!

    It sounds like you didn't change the settings after you made the DV video. Did you switch it back to 1280x720 and make a new sequence in that format? Check item properties for the sequence you edited. What does it say? Also check item properties for any media you captured since working in DV.

  • I cannot export my project from Final Cut. All the options are disabled. Can anybody help me?

    I have the latest version of FCPX and the final version of Compressor. I have my project ready but I cannot export because everything (Compressor, DVD, MasterFile etc.) is disabled. I need to export this project ASAP.
    P.S. This is the first export that I am trying to do on a new iMac, with OS X Yosemite.
    Thank you all!

  • Dallas Opening using Final Cut Express

    Can anyone tell this novice how to create the opening credits to Dallas using Final Cut Express. The main area is the part 6 seconds into the opening where images go by in a box sections with black bars between each section. I understand the section showing the cast is using a spilt screen so hopefully I will be able to figure out how to do that.
    Can anyone help??? please?

  • Downloading Final Cut Express 2 update

    Hello, this may seem like a simple question, but, how do I download the update for FCExpress without the internet. I have recently purchased a new imac and have not yet got the right cable to connect it to the internet. I am trying to use final cut express for the first time but as I don't have an AGP card it won't work. I'm on a PC at the moment and when I try to download the update it says file size form and there appears to be no download button. Is there any other way of downloading the update without my mac being connected?

    It sounds like you have an Intel iMac. You can ignore the AGP error message, but you will find that FCE2 does not run well on the Intel iMacs.
    You really should upgrade to FCE 3.5, which is the correct version for the Intel Macs. You will have to purchase it; it cannot be downloaded.

  • Final Cut Express HD on Intel? When & how?

    I bought a Mac mini to play about with, and a few days later bought Final Cut Express HD - the full product reduced to UK £99 at my local John Lewis store. Bargain! I dipped my toes in it and found it very much like Adobe Premiere on the PC, but better obviously.
    Within a couple of weeks I decided to take the plunge, sold all my PC kit on Ebay and upgraded to a 20" iMac Intel - the Apple Store did a full refund on my Mac mini, no questions asked. They are such nice people
    However, I've since read that Final Cut Express HD won't work on the Intel iMacs, probably not even under Rosetta, and that I'll have to wait until the next feature release for the Intel coded one. There are rumours that this release will be mid-March, which is great, but how will this 'crossgrade' be deployed?
    Will it be in the format of a retail boxed upgrade package for existing users making the 'switch-within-the-switch' to Intel-based Macs?
    Or perhaps even a free download and/or mailed-out disk for existing users?
    Or will it only be sold as a full-priced retail boxed package?
    I'm just wondering if it is worth me keeping hold of the version I've got, or trying to sell it on Ebay - I'll probably get what I paid for it, especially as I hadn't registered it with Apple.
    Anybody got any inside knowledge on the deployment?
    cheers,
    iMark.
    20" iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I guess I'm lucky in that, after ten years spent under a desk poking around inside boring beige boxes, I've come fresh from the big bad world of Windows PCs straight into the brave new world of Mac Intel. Apart from my minor but very fulfilling diversion with the Mac mini, this is my first ever Apple computer, so I don't come laden down with the expectations for old software.
    Right now I'm happy to play with the included apps. And I don't mean the trial of Office 2004. That got dumped straight away
    I've hardly looked at Garageband and iWeb, but iMovie is a breeze and great for quick knockups - and the way it integrates with iDVD is a joy... but I am itching to properly get underway with Final Cut Express.
    Having said that, I've got all five Myst games in dual PC/Mac format... and I was hoping to be able to carry on playing them but it seems my Intel iMac (that still sounds so wrong!) doesn't like the installs. A shame, I was just getting into End Of Ages when I ebayed my PCs.
    But my god... who cares! Just look at this big white thing sitting on my desk in front of me. It's so... beautiful. It's the most beautiful thing I have ever owned, materially speaking. And I can't believe it's mine! Somebody pinch me.
    Anyway, if anyone does come up with any answers or any wandering Apple executive happens to toddle along this way and is feeling generous please do post it here.
    Many thanks.

  • Can't use Final Cut Express Export Using Quick Time Conversion with iDVD.

    I am using iDVD 08v 7.0.4 and until 3 days ago I could import and create iDVD's using Final Cut Express export using Quick Time Conversion. There was an update that downloaded for iDVD. Since then, I can only use Final Cut Express Exports that is a self contained Quick Time Movie.
    I have never had this kind of apple and apple problem. I am disappointed that I'm having apple issues like this.

    Are you on latest 10.5.x release and latest FCE updates? Your info line says 10.5.1 and you didn't list FCE version. Not saying that will fix problem, but might help. You also might want to explain how you did your Quicktime conversion.

    Final Cut Express: Basic Troubleshooting
    There are many problems that can occur in any version of Final Cut Express and each one is generally best treated with a solution specifically tailored to it. However, you will generally get the best results if you follow a simple step-by-step approach to troubleshooting outlined here.
    1. Quit the application.
    2. Is your computer supported by the version of FCE you are running?
    Final Cut is particularly susceptible to problems when being used in conjunction with hardware, operating systems, and versions of Quicktime other than those that are supported. Always check before updating to see if the version you are running will continue to be supported. You can view the hardware requirements for FCE4 [here|http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/specs.html]. Note that FCE4 is the only version of the program supported by Snow Leopard. It is generally a good idea when working with Pro Apps to do a complete erase and install when updating to a new OS and then reinstall the program afterwards. Never update any critical software such as Quicktime or your OS when you are in the middle of an important project. Always keep a backup in case something goes wrong when you do.
    3. Is your software fully updated to the current version?
    In the upper menu bar, select the  symbol and click +Software Update+ in the contextual menu that appears. Make sure to download any Final Cut Express, Quicktime (if supported by the version of FCE you are running) , ProKit, and other important updates that the system recommends. Updated versions provide critical bug fixes and improvements that may solve the problem you were experiencing.
    4. Are you using supported external hardware?
    FCE can capture using FireWire from camcorders recording in DV-NTSC, DV-PAL, or HDV and can ingest using USB from AVCHD camcorders. Make sure that your recording device is compliant with one of these formats and not some related variant (such as AVCHD Lite). External USB drives are not supported by Apple for video editing - if you are experiencing problems while using one try disconnecting it and see if the issue persists.
    5. Trash your preference files and repair disk permissions.
    Whenever you have trouble in Final Cut Express it is almost always a good idea start by trashing your preference files. These can easily get corrupted and many problems can be quickly fixed by giving them a dump. The Apple Knowledge Base article found [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2611] outlines how to do this - [Tom Wolsky|http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=342090] also describes a good method [here|http://fcpbook.com/Misc1.html]. It is also a good idea to repair any permissions issues that may have arisen, and you can find a good description of the process [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963?viewlocale=en_US].
    6. Search the discussion forums for solutions to similar problems.
    You may be experiencing a common problem with the application or one that has been addressed when brought up by other users. Enter your query in the search bar on Apple Discussions and narrow your question to the [FCE forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=936&start=0] to get the most accurate results. Unless something very strange is going on it’s likely that you will find an answer or proposed solution has already been posted.
    7. Start a new topic.
    If you are unable to find an already posted solution on the forum that works for you and trashing your preference files has not fixed your problem, post a new topic in the FCE forum describing what is going on. Be as descriptive as possible and make sure to include pertinent information such as the specifications of your computer, OS, Quicktime version, the sequence you are editing in within the program, and the clip you are placing in it if this relates to the problem you are experiencing. Refer to [Eric W.|http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=337386]’s announcement [How to Post a new Topic|http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=650] for more information.
    8. Perform a complete removal of the application and reinstall.
    If you are not receiving working answers to your problem or it appears that your dilemma has not been reproduced in the past, try reinstalling FCE. You should first completely remove all traces of the program. Digital Rebellion has a nice free application called [FCS Remover|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm] which automatically does this - alternatively you can manually do it by moving all components listed [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47818?viewlocale=en_US] to the trash and emptying it. Note that the files listed may be named something slightly different if you are using a different version of Final Cut.
    9. Contact Apple.
    If all else fails, you should go ahead and contact Apple. It’s possible that you received a faulty disc or that they will have a solution to the problem that no one else has thought of. You can find pertinent contact information [here|http://www.apple.com/contact>.

  • Final Cut Express vs. Final Cut Express HD

    I am confused between Final Cut Express and the Final Cut Express HD. All the time I though I am using Final Cut Express HD version 4.0.1 which should be capable to capture HDV tapes (to my understanding) until lately I try to capture a tape shoot by a HDV camera (miniDV tape shoot by Canon) but was NOT successful. When I check back my application by opening a final cut project window >,About Final Cut Express, it shows I am using version 4.0.1, but I can’t capture the HDV tape shoot by the HDV camera. I went back to my application folder, I found I have 3 different Final Cut Express versions there which is including version 1.0.1 size 11.7 MB created Jan 25/03;version 3.0 size 160.3MB created Jan 25/05 (this version having HD wording at the end) and version 4.0.1 size 239.4MB was created Nov 6/07. Do I have to delete the version 1.0.1 and 3.0 to make the version 4.0.1 work well or something else in the system that I don't understand such as some kind of configuration should be set/change? Thank you in advance folks. By the way, some one can walk me through how to connect an old Mac 17” monitor to my new 27” iMac so that I can move the Canvas window over (I don’t know if it’s appropriate to ask this question here, if not, I apologize)? Thank you guys.
