  • Will Final Cut Express HD run on my MacBook?

    Hi all!
    I bought myself a MacBook Intel C2D a few months ago. I do enjoy it very very much.
    I am thinking about going from iMovie to Final Cut Express HD, but I am not sure if it will run on my MacBook Intel C2D.
    Anyone who can enlighten me in this subject?
    Sincerely,
    Andreas

    Yes, Final Cut Express will run on your MacBook. When you purchase, be sure to get FCE version 3.5 (not an earlier version).
    What are the specs of your MacBook - especially how much RAM memory and what size HD you have in it.
    Here are the FCE technical specs. Even though the minimum requirement is 512MB RAM, Final Cut Express will run much better if you have at least 1GB RAM in your MacBook (and 1GB RAM is the minimum if you plan to do HDV video).
    Hope that helps!

  • .DV and .MOV files don't play smoothly in the Final Cut Express viewer

    Hi,
    I bought Final Cut Express 4.0 yesterday, so I have no experience with it. I only used iMovies HD 6.0.3 a little before.
    Problem:
    When I import my .MOV and .DV files into FCE 4.0, then try to watch them in the viewer they don't play smoothly. The sound is fine, but the video is not smooth, it plays in stops and starts.
    Just to see, I tried importing a .FLV file and it plays just fine in the viewer, both audio and video runs smoothly with no 'stop starting'
    I experimented with importing different file sizes of .DV and .MOV, from 3GB to a few MB even and even very small clips of a few KB. But regardless of the size I always have this problem of them not running smoothly in the viewer.
    One of the .MOV files I tried to import was a reference file, and I later read in the manual that FCE may only recognise the original file. But I have the same problem even with the Original file and other self contained files that have been copied from the original. So it doesnt seem to just a problem with reference files.
    Any idea what the problem might be?
    Is it something to do with how I have FCE set up?
    Or is it that the .MOV and .DV files are not being properly imported and is this why they are not running smoothly in the viewer?
    I'm using a MacBook with 10.4.11 operating system, which the guys at my local Apple store said would be fine for using FCE 4.0.
    Hope someone can help,
    Ian.

    Look at item properties for the .mov and .dv files. What exactly does it say they are? What drive are they playing back from? Make sure the contents of the viewer are set to fit to window in the View popup at the top of the viewer.

  • Is Final cut express 4 compatible with the mac mini?

    I need to know if I can use final cut express 4 on my new mac mini as I bought it mainly for editing videos.

  • Does Final Cut Express work on the iMac G5?

    I just tried to put Final Cut Pro on a G5 iMac, but the error came up that it is missing a AGP card. Apparently the new iMac have an upgraded card that doesnt work wih the older software.
    Does anyone know if the Final Cut Express HD work on a G5 iMac?

    For a permanent solution to stop the error message ever appearing again you can use this hack:-
    1. Right click (Control-click) on the FCE application icon (NOT the one in the dock) and select "Show Package Contents".
    2. Open the "Contents" folder and double click the "info .plist". It should open automatically in TextEdit - if it doesn't, choose TextEdit manually.
    3. Around 15 or so lines down you will see AGP. Delete it and put in PCI.
    4. Close the window and when asked if you want to save the changes, say yes.

  • Final output of Final Cut Express HD 3.5 is blurry and out of focus.

    Using clear/sharp '.mov' files as clips. Doing simple editing, nothing fancy. When I finally output the project using 'Export/Using QuickTime Conversion,' the final is blurry and out of focus. I've tried every compression type (H264, Animation, etc.). Same problem. Anyone know why this is happening?
    Although the specs for my computer are well within the Final Cut Express guidelines (I've even upgraded my graphics card to a Radeon 9800 Pro 256 MB), I'm still thinking that perhaps the G4 I'm using doesn't have enough juice to run the FCE software. By the way, I don't have any other programs active when using FCE. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for your response.
    Here's what I'm (trying) to do:
    I'm creating short 5 minute tutorial movies that will be distributed as QuickTime movies (burned to disk) for short run distribution (college).
    Here's the process: the movie itself is a recording of monitor screen actions recorded (audio and video) using Snapz Pro movie mode. The recorded size is 800 x 600. There might be 5 such 1 or 2 minute clips. The quality is excellent. I bring them in to FCE, drop all the clips on the same track, and add simple transitions. That's it.
    Now I need to somehow get a final QuickTime movie, with close to the same quality I had in the clips.
    So... I take the FCE file, output it using 'Export>QuickTime Conversion,' using the same size I originally recorded in, 800 x 600. Tried every codec available. Every time, the end result is a very blurred version of the original Snapz Pro recordings.
    I've even tried outputting the FCE file as 'Export>QuickTime Move' (not using the conversion method). Opened that up in QuickTime Pro with the same result: blurred and out of focus.
    I'm viewing the exported file in QuickTime Pro, with the 'Movie Properties' setting of 'High Quality.'
    Any clue? This is driving me crazy. But I'm determined to get this right.

  • Video out of sync in Final Cut Express... but in sync everywhere else!

    'm working on making one video that is composed of two camera angles of the same thing. So, I have two video tracks in Final Cut Express, one for the side view, and one for the main view. Both videos are Quicktime Movies (.mov extension).
    Here are the file details:
    Main Cam: duration - 1hr 26min 46sec // file size - 5.74gb
    Side Cam: duration - 1hr 29min 18sec // file size - 5.63gb
    [the side cam video is a little longer because I started filming with that camera a little bit before the main cam and stopped the filming a little earlier]
    Now, here's the problem. Both videos are in my Final Cut Express project. The Main Cam video runs fine. But the Side Cam video's video is out of sync with the audio by a lot (somewhere between 2 and 6 full seconds). Normally I would think that something had happened during the filming, but here's the odd thing: the Side Cam video plays perfectly in sync out of Final Cut Express.
    If I open it in Quicktime, or even in iMovie, the audio and video are perfectly in sync for the entirely of the video. But when I import it into FCE and watch it there, whether it's in the timeline, in the viewer, rendered, or unrendered (I've tried them all), it's horribly out of sync.
    So, the video plays fine and in sync everwhere except for in the Final Cut Express program. The Main Cam video, which has a very similar duration and file size and which is the same file type, plays perfectly even in FCE. The only problem is the Side Cam, and I can't figure out why this is, or how to fix it.
    Another thing: these videos were not captured from a camera into Final Cut. I already have the video files on the computer, and as I've said, the audio is fine there. To get them into FCE, I use file -> import.
    Also, if anyone has suggestions on how to fix this, could you provide directions of some sort? I'm fairly new to Final Cut.
    Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
    Thank you so much in advance!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Does both camcorders was set to 16-48 khz audio?
    One way to synch audio that drifting from video (or from anoter audio lenght) is to set precisely 2 markers (one near the beginning, another near the end) in the correct lenght video track. Try to find spots where you can hear and see a common reference. The result of the workaround will put a corrected audios between those points only.
    Now note the duration between those 2 markers in video track.
    *Unlink the video/audio clip with the wrong duration.*
    Select the drifting audio and put the 2 markers at the intended reference points.
    The duration should be less or more than the video.
    Use the blade tool to cut the wrong lenght audio at markers.
    The tips is to set a new duration for this portion with the set speed command.
    With this +new duration+, align the in point of audio with the first video marker. The out point of audio should be aligned with the second video marker.
    Now the audio should match the video lenght and should be in synch.

  • Final Cut express upgrade for intel macbook pro

    I need help i used to have a G5 desktop and got DVD Studio Pro 3 and then i got Final Cut pro 4 with Upgrade, i try to install this software to the intel Macbook Pro wich i have 2 gig of memory, but if I install DVD Studio Pro 3 and Final Cut pro 4 it will run too slow and there is also the error pf agp graphic card missing i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster i need help on which is the best upgrade for the intel mac so i don't have to purchase the software again i saw on www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade there are some option i call apple and they told me to buy the Final Cut Pro 4 or HD (4.5)for $199.00 but i want to make sure this is what i need to do! help

    Yes you need to crossgrade to 5.1
    The offer only lasts until the end of December and after that it'll probably go back up to $699.
    Also I wanted to point out that you're in the Final Cut Express forum asking about Final Cut Pro. Not a huge deal but in the future you might get better results asking Final Cut Pro related questions in the Final Cut Pro forum.
    i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster
    Your HP runs Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro faster?!? Huh...Bwa?!?
    By this I assume you mean your HP runs comparative programs faster (Avid)

  • Does final cut express 4.0 work in new macbook bought in Oct 2013

    I bought Final Cut Express 4.0 in 2008 and recently I bought a new MacBook Pro 15" around Oct 2013 and updated to Mavericks 10.9. I copied all the contents and apps from the old macbook to the new one and when using the Final Cut Express, it asked me for the serial number and when I tried to add it, it says serial not valid. What can I do to be able to use my Final Cut Express? Please any suggetions?

    Three thoughts,
    1.  It is usually better to re-install pro apps (like FCE) from scratch instead of migrating them from an older Mac.  If you migrated FCE from your old Mac, this could be the reason for the hiccup with the serial number.
    2.  The serial number is very long, and it's very easy to mistype a character.  Try entering it again, being very careful typing and check the serial nubmer visually before you hit the enter key.
    3.  Keep in mind that FCE was discontinued in June 2011, even before Lion was released.  It is no longer supported and there is no guarantee it will run, or run properly, on later versions of OS X including Mavericks.   Users have had spotty success with it on Lion, Mt. Lion & Mavericks.  YMMV.
    Final Cut Pro X is the currently released & suported video editing app from Apple.   You can download, install & try it out free for 30 days.

  • MacBook Pro and Final Cut Express

    Hi,
    I want to know if Final Cut Express 4 runs smoothly on a MacBook Pro 15" 2.2 GHz with 60 GB hard drive. (If additional space is needed I’d use Verbatim SmartDisk 250GB FireWire/USB Portable Hard Drive)
    I know I meet the minimum requirements to use FCE, but I need to know if I can make edits decently or well enough.
    If not, what can I do to improve its usage?
    Thank you!!!

    MBP is fantastic for FCE/FCP/FCS.
    I suggest 2 GB RAM at LEAST. I got 3 GB but mine is an older model; the new ones go up to 4 GB I believe.
    Get the super fastest internal HD you can get. And then a FW 800 external (large as you can get).
    I am saving up for a super large external screen; got a lousy analog 1024 x 768 right now but it works well for my FCE browser window and also sometimes for Canvas Preview.

  • Need assistance to operate Final Cut Express on Leopard

    I am having trouble with Final Cut Express HD, the version that I have installed is 3.5.1. It is installed on Tiger and it works wonderfully. I have backed it up with SuperDuper as a bootable backup. However, after installing Leopard and starting the program I was requested to enter my name and serial number from packaging. I entered Final Cut Express HD upgrade version 3.5 serial number from the package. This is the last update I had bought. I then receive the following message: “you have entered and upgrade serial number. Please enter your original serial number”. I then entered the serial number for Final Cut Express HD upgrade version 3.0 from that package which I had bought. I then got an alert message “the serial number you entered is not valid”. I repeated entering the serial number for Final Cut Express 2 which I had bought as an upgrade and received previous message again.
    To summarize, I have three boxes of Final Cut Express upgrades which I had bought, but I do not have the original I had bought years ago to start with and therefore can not get Leopard to run the program. I feel dumb for not keeping the original Purchase, but these boxes do add up. Can anyone tell me where to go on the apple site to get help? I posted my problem on the Final Cut Express feed back site but, received no answer.

    I infer from your last post that having found the number all is now well.
    To you and everyone else, I would like to stress how vitally important both your DVD and number is.
    Lose either and you could have thrown away £200/$400.
    I make copies of all my installation disks and actually write the numbers in felt pen on them.
    I also put the numbers in various safe places including in the appropriate Tom Wolsky (and other authors') books !

  • MackBook Pro and Final Cut Express

    Hi,

    Short Answer: Yes, it'll run just fine.
    Long Answer: Yes and no. It depends. For the normal stuff to some more process-intensive stuff you'll likely be perfectly fine. The only hang-up could be the fact that your internal drive is so small. Yes, you have the external 250 which is nice but your computer by default uses the extra space on your internal hard drive for data-swapping. Dropping below 10-15GB you'll notice a substantial decrease in speed, especially when you work with large files such as those involved in video post-production.
    Internal drives are dirt cheap these days. Seagate makes some very high performance laptop drives that will work great in your Mac. Likewise out of all the drive manufacturers I know Seagate's have the best reputation for internal use. LaCie's may be best external manufacturer, but last I checked they didn't make their own drives.

  • Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 and Final Cut Express HD 3.5

    Hi,
    I have a client with both of these installed on the same machine (running 10.4.6).
    When they try and launch either application, the splash screen comes up, loading various filters, etc. then they get an error message:
    "File Error: A file of this name already exists" "OK"
    Clicking "OK" closes the app.
    Any idea:
    1. What the file in question is?
    2. Can it be deleted to let the app run?
    3. Can Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 and Final Cut Express HD 3.5 be used on the same machine?
    I'll post this on the Final Cut Express HD 3.5 thread too (but with the order reversed).

    What you did was not enough to delete the preferences properly.
    This article tells you how. It is for FCE2 but works the same for FCE3 so I assume it is also OK for FCE 3.5:-

    It's simple to do so try it before reinstalling etc. - You should completely uninstall before reinstalling:-
