The next Final Cut Express

Hello,
Will Final Cut Express be update like Final Cut Pro and Studio ?
Thk!
Bonjour,
Est-ce que Final Cut Express sera mis à jour comme Final Cut Pro et Studio ?
Merci !
iMac (Intel) Mac OS X (10.4.9)

In terms of what? FCE will eventually be updated as a program, yes, but it may be awhile and the specific upgrades that FCP6 carries over FCP5 are not really relevant to FCE. If you are talking about the other applications in the new Final Cut Studio 2, FCE has always been a standalone program and (as far as I expect) will not be shipped with the other programs of FCS2.

When's The Next Final Cut Pro HD Update?

I was just wondering if anyone knows when the next Final Cut Pro HD update is supposed to be released. I'm about ready to make a purchase, but I was wondering if I should wait if the next version is going to be out soon.
Thanks!

I don't think it's against the TOU however to point out that Apple have been known to launch new products or announce updates at the NAB show, which takes place every April.
But I personally have no idea if there's anything in the pipeline. I only buy every second upgrade anyway so I'll be waiting for FCS7.

"The application Final Cut Express has unexpectedly quit."

I've try everything I found on this site about this problem and it didnt work. I delete my preference I downloaded the new version of final cut pro, I re-installed the program twice and it still didn't mwork. Can anyone that had this problem help me with it. I never had even the chance to open the program since I got it, it just won't open at all.

Are you talking about Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro? If this is a Final Cut Pro. problem you should be in their discussion group.

Is Final Cut Pro X the new Final Cut Express?

A friend of mine went to the premiere of FCPX at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Vegas. From what he was saying, Apple implied that the new FCPX that was being unveiled was going to be a "preview" for $299.
I'm ignorant on all of the rumors and I'm sure that a bunch of you are more current on the rumblings and gossip... But, is it possible that FCPX is the new FCP Express and that an epic version may be released soon?
Just the fact that you can't cut multiple cameras, organize media, and set scratch discs obviously doesn't make this a tool for broadcasters or working producers / editors.
Does the X = Express?

FCP X is the only version available at the moment (from Apple). FCE and FCS have apparently been discontinued. Nobody here knows what future releases Apple is planning (and we're actually not allowed to speculate on these boards)

The application Final Cut Express quit unexpectedly.

Dear Group
I have been receiving this error when trying to run FCE today. I have spent all day trying to run the app but to no avail.
I have completed an install after completing a complete uninstall as per the instructions on this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA38198?viewlocale=en_US
I have also downloaded the Preference Manager 2.1.4 to remove all my preferences and also deleted them manually.
The splash screen always gets to "loading video effects' and then issues the error with associated report. The report makes no sense to me.
I'm not sure what else to try now and it's driving me crazy.
Please help if you can.
Thanks
Craig.

Thanks Tom.
Yes it's been working fine for a year on my iMac with the update 4.0.1. The only thing I can think of is that I installed the Boinx Fotomagico upgrade for Toast users this morning. I have since uninstalled this and still have the same problem with FCE.

Final Cut Express moving videos off hard drive

So I started capturing some footage on my laptop because I didn't have an external drive available. I finished the project, and now I'm back home with my external drive. My internal drive had 1.5 gigs free now, and I want to move all the footage I captured from FCE onto the external.
I know iMovie has an option to export the project and all the files into a single file. Does FCE have an option like this, or do I need to go through finder to where it saved all the footage and move them like that? How can I do this without losing all the links and having to reconnect my media...
hopefully this all makes sense, I've never really used FCE

Hello Drew,
FCE doesn't have that option. You will have to use the Finder to copy the folders/files to your external drive and yes you will have to Reconnect Media after moving the files.
Be sure your external drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended and is connected via Firewire.
In FCE, close your Project. Then in FCE preferences reset your scratch disk location to the new Final Cut Express Documents folder on your external drive. Then exit FCE.
The default FCE scratch disk location is /Users/yourusername/Final Cut Express Documents. Normally your FCE project file and related material is in this folder. Under it you will find the following folders:
Autosave Vault
Capture Scratch
Render Files
Waveform Cache
Thumbnail Cache
and there may be an Audio Render Files folder too
At this point you should be able to find a Final Cut Express Documents folder on your external drive; it should have automatically been created when you reset your FCE preferences earlier, along with an Autosave Vault and a Capture Scratch folder. Copy the files from your internal drive's Autosave Vault and Capture Scratch folders to the corresponding new folders on your external drive. Don't bother copying the render files or cache files - it will be better to re-render after you move your project. Also, if you have any other source media such as photos or music, copy them to a new folder on your external drive. Keep your FCE project file on your internal hard drive but do make a backup copy of it somewhere.
After copying everything, verify & double check that you have good copies of your clips on your external drive because the next step is to delete the originals of your captured clips that are on your internal drive. Don't delete any folders, just the captured clips themselves ... and all the render files. This is necessary so that when you reopen your FCE project it will be forced to reconnect media and you can point it to the new location on your external drive. Otherwise it will just continue to use the clips that are on your internal drive.
Then reopen your Project File that you left on your internal drive and reconnect media when prompted.

"Add Selection to Queue" (in Final Cut Express) Problem

I have just uploaded Final Cut Express 4 to my new iMac 2.4. When I try to add selected Clips (Add selection to Queue) to the project window it does not add the clips to the project (it has an exclamation mark next to the clip instead of the check mark). The same thing happened to me couple of years ago when I uploaded the same Final Cut Express to my old laptop. That time an apple genius bar guy changed something in the set up of Final Cut Express. It was only couple of clicks but I do not remember what change he has done to the setup. Could anyone help me please?
Thank you,
Ildiko

Hi,
I downloaded the FCE4 manual
http://www.apple.com/support/finalcutexpress/
and did a search for "exclamation". This was the first hit:
"An exclamation point indicates that the source media
for this clip may have been unmounted or moved
since the clip was added to the Transfer Queue.
Delete the clip and add it to the Transfer Queue again."
So delete the clip +from the Queue+, not from your disk or media,
and add it to the queue again.
Good luck!

Final Cut Express HD and OS Mavericks

I've upgraded to OS Mavericks, now allmost everytime i put in a clip in the timeline Final Cut Express crashes. I don't want to give this program up yet.
Is there a solution ?

the App Store app would replace an older trial version of Aperture with the current regular releas
That's because when Apple announced that iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand & iWork are now free, they silently included Aperture. If you already have any of them installed (including unlicensed trial versions) then under Mavericks the AppStore updates them to the current release. This was intentional and made easy by the facts that they are all currently supported releases and available in the AppStore.
The situation with Final Cut Express is different. FCE was never available in the AppStore to begin with. It was end-of-lifed back in in June 2011. Apple only ever offered upgrades from one version of FCE to the next. To my knowledge, they never offered upgrades from FCE to the former Final Cut Pro/Studio. Their approach with Final Cut Studio was similar - upgrades only from one version to another. There have never been any upgrades offered from FCE or FCP/Studio to FCP-X. In this case Apple is following its longstanding approach to selling the Final Cut family of products.

Final Cut Express not opening, error says final FCE disks are missing.

Hi there,
Recently I got a WD Fire Wire 800 Hard drive for christmas so I could move all of my final cut projects over to the HD.
When I moved my final cut express documents including all of the folders it now says this error.
To preserve the integrity of the data used by final cut express, it is necessary to ensure the existence of the following paths;
- My HDD Chris is missing
Then it gives me the option to reset scratch disks, check again or quit.
So I'm not sure what I do.
Should I simply move back all the folders and documents that I moved to my hard drive (btw I tried this but it still gave the same error message). I have deleted final cut express 4.1 and re installed 4.0 to see if it works but it didn't and has the same error message.
Any tips would be helpful.
Chees, Chris.

I can't even open FCE any more because I have moved everything onto the external hard drive including software 'everything'.
You moved the software? You can't do that. That's fatal. The software must be on the system drive as it requires system resources. Move the application called Final Cut Express back into the top level of the Applications folder. Do it move it, rename it, or put it inside a folder.
Do not assign the scratch disk to a folder anywhere. If you want the scratch disk to be on your external drive select the top level of the external drive. FCE will create the folders it needs in that location.
Hi,
When you say move the application final cut express into the application folder.
Do you mean move my folder of final cut express that I moved onto my HDD?
If so it's copying the 20GB folder as I speak. Hopefully fixes this frustrating problem..
Cheers, Chris.

Final Cut Express anomaly

Why does Final Cut Express stop capturing video at approximately 5:04 to 5:16 minutes saying: "end of tape".
I start at the place where it stopped capturing, start capturing again and another 5+ minutes goes by and "bloop!" the "end of tape" message appears again. Capturing has stopped.
What's up with that????

I bought, installed and used the FCE in 2005. I used it for 5 years before it started acting up. All of a sudden the "end of tape" message would appear and the capture stopped.
> Capture limit set in System Settings to 59 minutes.
>Regardless of Time Code breaks, could be 1 hour tape continuous video, it sops at approx. 5 minutes and a few seconds (never the same twice).
> Digital Tape (1 Hour, Sony, TDK, FujiFilm, whatever) on Sony DV Camcorder. Have used same one for 12 years here at work.
>Capturing straight to internal HDD.
     >Sometimes tot he original HDD sometimes to the added HDD (also internal).
          Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
     >Final Cut Express HD 3.0
          (When filling out the Info on the site Final Cut Express was NOT one of the options, that's why it says Final                Cut Pro X, sorry.)
     > OS X 10.5.8
Thanks for your responses.

Installing Final Cut Express

Here's the deal, a friend installed Final Cut Express onto my iMac for a short time for me to test the application. I liked it a lot on decided to buy it. Here's the problem, after I deleted the old Final Cut Express (registered under my friends name) from my applications folder and the icon on my dock, and then reinstalled Final Cut with the my new version it doesn't ask me for my new password.
As it boots up, I see that this latest version is still registered with my friends name. I can play around and make a few movies but every time I close the program or put my computer to sleep, and then try to open Final Cut Express at a later date, it asks me for all my info and password. I enter all the information that came with the application but it says, "Invalid password" not allowing me to use the program.
Am I uninstalling the old program wrong? Is there a process I have to do to wipe the memory of the old application off my computer before I install the new program? Do you think its a bug?
Thanks. Newman

Hello, thanks for your guidance but it didn't work.
I followed the instructions from the link you provided and reinstalled FCE but it still started up with my friends name as "licensed to", without asking me for the serial number.
So, I tried again, only this time I deleted all the packages and files from both the HD library and my User library. (I found that there was still FCE files in my "User" library as well) I emptied the trash of all the old files and installed the FCE disk, reinstalled it and started up FCE once again. And again, it was licensed to my friend's version instead of recognizing my new version.
Im kinda loosing it, because every few days, when FCE is updated I go to launch the application (still licensed under my friends name) but it asks for the serial number and all my info - which is says is invalid.
Any idea what is happening here? Should I delete all FCE files and then archive and install? AHHHHH!

Final Cut Express 4 Keeps Quitting Unexpectedly?

So, on my old computer, I had Final Cut Express 4. However, that computer crashed and is no longer in use, resulting in all applications and documents from my old computer being transferred into a hard drive. I plugged in my hard drive to my new computer, and when I try to open Final Cut Express, almost immediately a small window pops up saying "The application Final Cut Express quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected." I had MANY times try to click relaunch, then reset and relaunch, but the same window appears each time. What should I do? Will my Final Cut EVER be able to work on this computer or any other? Or will I have to purchase a new one? Thanks SO much!

My suggestion:
Remove FCE withhttp:

Then reinstall from your FCE disc.

Sorry, one more time, Final Cut Express

I know there are several threads about this program running on intel, but I couldn't find a specific answer to my question in any of them.
I just ordered a MB and plan on using the universal Final Cut Express 3.5. Now, I have an eMac, where I had originally started with FCE 1.0, then bought an upgrade to FCE 2.0, which is what I currently use.
My question is, when my new MB shows up, will I be able to install FCE 1.0, the 2.0 upgrade, then the FCE 3.5 upgrade and have everything work okay? Or will I need to, because of intel, just buy the universal FCE 3.5 (and spend an extra $200)?
Thanks so much for any help! -Reed

I would call Apple and ask them. I would be highly surprised if the version 3.5 upgrade would require a prior installation to be present, especially given the Intel transistion, although I would call to confirm.

Final Cut Express HD (3.5) closes right after opening?

Hi,
I believe years ago I had this same issue and it was as simple as deleting the preferences (??).
Basically, what's happening is I just installed FCE HD (3.5) on my G4. I meet the system requirements to run the application AND Soundtrack Pro and LiveType open and run fine. FCE closes immediately after opening and then I get an error: "The Application Final Cut Express Quit Unexpectedly."
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Yeah, sorry for being so confusing. That's exactely what I did. Since my main HD is 500Gb and my secondary drive is 120Gb, I just copied all the necessary files to the 500, formatted the 120, reinstalled OSX, and booted to it. The intention was to let the FCE software think it was installing on a fresh drive (which, it was).
However, even then it won't let me install FCE. Just LT and Soundtrack. ?? I'm a bit confused because the system requirements for Soundtrack and LT are the same for FCE.
I'm trying to install it on a Dual 1.25ghz G4 Quicksilver with 1.5Gb Ram. ??
The funny thing is I WAS able to install the complete program initially when I got it. I had a previous copy of Final Cut Express (1) on my main drive. I ran the FCE HD installer, and the program installed just fine. However, it kept closing right after it would open. I figured it was a preference conflict between the newer version (3.5) and the old version (1.1). So, I've done my best trying to erase all evidence of FCE ever being on the drive and still get nowhere ??
Thanks!

The next Final Cut Express
