Third Party Plugin - Final Cut Express 4 HD

I'm not able to visualize the plugin in the Effects menu toolbar and I was told that I need to install a FxPlug Support that is provided from Apple for free. Well, two things, I do not know where to find it this FxPlug and why after installing my plugin is not working.
Thank you ion advance for any help or light on this issue.
Best,
jlvsouto

Thanks for your answer!
The software does not give me the option where to install it and I'm kind of lost.
Is the FCE 4 work with third party plugins?! I was told that not! Is it true?!

  • Is it possible to transfer stored (b-roll) video footage from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro event library? Is so, what do I need?

    I have been editing in final cut express and now that I'm working in Pro X I would like to transfer my b-roll footage from FCX to Pro X. I read that there is an app. that you can buy that does this for Final Cut Pro 7, is this possible with Final Cut Express?

    Any media used in FCE can be used in FCP. No third party software is required.
    You cannot take an FCE project to FCP. 7toX will not help as FCE has no XML export.

  • HDV KGCore crash with Final Cut express 4 NEED HELP

    I recently purchased a cannon hv30 hdv camera. This is my first time using High Def footage and I am now working on my first project with it. I have used Final cut express with a hard drive camera for over a year now and have made many projects with little problems. After importing my footage in the 1080i60 easy setup setting (around 63 minutes of footage) I began to add it to the sequence. after adding the first part I added the next imported section of hdv footage. The program then froze for a few seconds and crashed. It did this everytime I added the same clip into the sequence. sometimes the error said that kcgore plugin could be related. I called an apple rep and after getting rid of all 3rd party programs and reinstalling TWICE it still crashes after I recaptured the footage while I am either editing the footage or jsut playing it back. NEED HELP

    Thanks I tried it again and it seems to be working but I crashed like once or twice when viewing the footage. But after starting it up again it is working fine it is jsut that the footage has these white flashes in it when playing back sometimes. I am not sure if it is going to crash again or not hopefully it is fixed. I was just using the hdv setting for 1080i60. Im not sure if it was pal or nstc I just used the basic hdv 1080i60 setting. also do you think I should upgrade my ram and memory? Would that help moving it up from a 1 gig to 2 or 4 when working wwith hd footage now?
    thanks again

  • Converting .MTS for use in Final Cut Express, without loosing quality

    I have an external hard drive full of .MTS files from my JVC camcorder that I cannot open with Final Cut Express.
    I bought a piece of conversion software, iSkySoft Video Converter, to convert them into a more accessible format such as .mov or .avi, but they lose their HD quality during the conversion. I have also tried software available through Mac, Voltaic, but this also seems to dilute picture quality.
    In a previous post, I was recommended Clip Wrap, but having downloaded it, it will not let me open my .MTS files to convert in the first place. I have contacted Clip Wrap Support about this, but am yet to hear back.
    I would like suggestions as to how to open these .MTS files in Final Cut, or a piece of conversion software that retains full high definition quality when converting.
    I am not very computer savvy, Im afraid, so can any technical jargon be explained as best as possible please! Just for reference, in case it helps, my camcorder is a JVC GZ-HD10.
    Thank you.

    MarkTrif, if iskysoft isn't working, use mpeg streamclip to try again, it is free. or get another good third party MTS converter like HD Video Converter for Mac, specially designed to convert HD video formats like AVCHD (mts, m2ts), H.264/AVC, MPEG-2 (ts), DivX, HD WMV, MPEG-4 to SD videos like AVI, MPEG, WMV, MP4, DivX, MOV, my friends recommend it to me, it's safe and works pretty well for me. keep the video image quality. If you are interested in it, here is a step by step guide about how to use it

    I wish you haven't any problem too!

  • Exporting HDV from Final Cut Express

    I'm trying to export a video as an mpeg-2 from Final Cut Express and burn it onto a CD-ROM for use on a PC with Adobe Premier. Could anyone help on the best way to do so?

    There is no MPEG-2 export from FCE unless you have a third party encoder. You might try googling it. There are some expensive ones. Why does it have to be MPEG-2 BTW? Wouldn't QuickTime be better? It's fully support by Premiere on both platforms.

  • AVCHD and Snow Leopard (I-Movie / Final Cut Express)

    AVCHD and Snow Leopard. I have been using Final Cut Express 4 and I-Movie 08 since they both came out. I have been using the same AVCHD camcorder (Cannon HG10) with both programs, and it has worked perfectly. Now I have installed 10.6 and 10.6.1 and now neither program will allow AVCHD transfer. Both recognize the camcorder but won't transfer.
    A little poking around on the internet and I discovered that Snow Leopard won't support AVCHD (http://www.shedworx.com/no-avchd-in-snow-leopard). Third party web site mind you.
    So far I agree it won’t work with AVCHD. Now since both programs were developed to use one of the most widely utilized formats in HD camcorders, again AVCHD, this accidental or intentional over site smells of Microsoft, not Apple.
    I like some of the features of Snow Leopard but for me the video aspect is one of the top requirements. Apple had been the leader in the multimedia revolution and this mis-step with AVCHD is it’s typical of Apple.
    I have just restored back to 10.5 and every thing is working again.
    Now that were around the block here is the question. If anyone can come up with a solution…that does not include the used of third party software to convert, please let me know.
    And to Apple, please fix this problem, I’m already hearing the complaints with QuickTime X, and seen the headlines, “Snow Leopard, is it Apples Vista?”.

    This is, to be polite, a misunderstanding. Shedworx are being careless with their terminology.
    1. SL itself does not support AVCHD, but neither did Leopard.
    2. AVCHD support is built in to the movie editing software (iMOvie, FCE, FCP), exactly as it was in 10.5
    3. I am happily editing AVCHD from my HG10 in iMovie 09 and in FCP, in exactly the same way I did under 10.5
    So you have a specific issue with your camera, you've taken that with some carelessness from Shedworx, and on that basis you've decided, incorrectly, that Apple does not/will not support AVCHD.
    There were many cases under Leo where people reported problems getting their camera to communicate with iMovie. Solutions include:
    1. Trashing iMovie preference files
    2. Repairing permissions
    3. Copying the AVCHD folder tree from the camera to disk, and importing to iMovie from there
    4. Using MPEG Streamclip to convert the camera footage before importing to iMovie
    5.Making sure the camera is running on mains power, not battery, and that it's in playback mode.

  • Final Cut Express & Sony DCR DVD-405 Compatible?

    Long story short . . .
    Received a gift "Sony DCR DVD-405" (uses USB, NOT firewire) with intention of home video and family use. Happy with iMovie. No need for more.
    But . . .
    It is a major pain in the butt to get iMovie & camera to talk. Bought two 3rd party applications and still not happy.
    Will Final Cut Express work smoothly with this camera or should I Craigslist it and buy a Sony HC96?
    I will have access to Final Cut Express for free through work in the Fall.
    Jeremy

    Will Final Cut Express work smoothly with this camera or should I Craigslist it and buy a Sony HC96?
    The 405 is a camera that produces Mpeg 2 files and that means no direct working with FCE, third party conversions required.
    The HC96, being a Mini DV camera, will fit like a glove.
    FCE works with DV, HDV or AVCHD (version 4 only using Intel chip Mac)

  • Final Cut Express 4.0.1 Update

    Can anyone provide a link to update from Final Cut Express 4.0 to 4.0.1?
    I would really appreciate the help!
    Thanks.

    To the best of my knowledge the only thing the update does is to enable you to edit AVCHD.
    I am not sure about that as I have the software boxes for both FCXP 3.5 HD and FCXP 4 and from description on both boxes and from Amazon, also, both these versions of FCXP were supposed to already support AVCHD.
    I had to update/upgrade to these versions of FCXP when I upgraded my Sony digital video camcorder that uses AVCHD.
    Here's the feature description for FCXP 4.

    More Powerful Video Editing for DV, HDV, and AVCHD
    Capture clips from your camcorder over a single FireWire or USB cable, then use the new Open Format Timeline in Final Cut Express 4 to edit together DV, HDV, and AVCHD material, even if they have different frame rates. Fine-tune your choices with professional ripple, roll, slip, and slide editing functions, either in the Timeline or a dedicated Trim window. And when it comes time to add effects, Dynamic RT lets you instantly preview effects, filters, transitions, and multistream composites in real time without rendering.

  • Compressor in Final Cut Express?

    I picked up a copy of Final Cut Express to do my video editing, and realized that it doesn't come with Compressor! Any idea how I can pick up a standalone copy, or is there a third party software that will do the same thing?
    Is it even necessary, or will exporting with quicktime conversion work just as well?
    Ryan
    www.ryanestrada.com

    Compressor greatest strength is that it's a batch processing tool. If you're doing a single podcast at a time that you want to encode for iPod, then there's no advantage to using Compressor. It'd be easier to do an export using QuickTime to an iPod formatted MPEG4.
    Hope this helps,

  • What CD digital format to work with in Final Cut Express

    I am having reel to reel AUDIO tapes(circa 1960) transferred to digital format by a third party vendor. What digital format should I request (audio CD's?) back, so that I can work with it using Final Cut Express(3.5.1).

    The best format would be AIFF files @48kHz. Regular audio CDs are 44.1kHz. You can convert audio from CDs in QuickTime Player. (You might need QTPro; I'm not sure.)

  • Help!  JVC HDD Camera and Final Cut Express

    Hello fellow Macsters!
    I am using a JVC HDD camera but I realized it doesn't have FIREWIRE only USB 2.0. I am trying to unload my video into my Final Cut Express program but it won't work. Final Cut Express doesn't recognize it and the computer recognizes it as a 'drive'. What can I do to get my video into Final Cut Express and have Final Cut Express recognize this without a traditional firewire cable? Please help it will be greatly appreciated. You can also email me at [email protected]
    Take Care
    Andrew

    You could pipe the signal from the JVC to a D/A converter box and then into the Mac, this will work.
    OR
    The HDD gives Mpeg2 files that FCE can't directly use. Third party software can de-mux these files before yhey go to FCE. Search this forum for de-mux.

  • Does Final Cut Express Support Other Formats (Avi, MPEG, flv, etc)?

    I'm relatively new to Final Cut and I'm pretty excited to give this baby a try. Anyway, I've got some videos to edit and I know this software supports Quicktime videos but what about other formats such as Avi, MPEG, FLV, etc.? Do I need to get a third party software to convert these videos or can Final Cut Express handle them automatically?
    Also, when I want to edit a video and viewing it on the viewer (The screen next to the Canvas), the screen is all white when it's being paused or when I want to scroll it with the dial thingy. Why is that?

    Hi,
    Final Cut Express 4 supports only DV, HDV and AVCHD (last one only on Intel CPUs) using the Apple Intermediate Codec.
    On other than these formats, you can use Mpegstreamclip (www.squared5.com) to convert your files into one of those supported formats, DV or Apple Intermediate Codec (when using HD material).
    Regards,
    Armando.

  • Moving To Final Cut Express

    I have been using iMovie for a year or so and am considering Final Cut Express in its place but know nothing about Final Cut Express. Is there a document that gives a god overall comparison of iMovie and Final Cut Express. I have found that in some cases there is lots of time and cut and paste to accomplish some tasks and there are some tasks that I haven't determined if they can be done in iMovie. In particular I am wondering about the ability to edit clip content such as blurring image parts - faces, license plates, etc.
    Your assistance is appreciated.
    Andy

    I am a newcomer to FCE too and migrated from iMovie 09, which I used for a number of projects. I had experienced quite some frustration with iMovie as I was getting a better videographer (and editor), so I decided to move on to FCE. One major setback for me was the lack of video stabilization feature in FCE. Going back to iMovie to correct clips is not really an option (tedious, quality loss, etc) so I invested in a third party utility (iStabilize), which is not integrated in FCE but is easier to use (and potentially better) than iMovie.
    This being said, the capabilities of FCE are vastly superior to iMovie (can't tell about your specific requirements, but that seems to pertain to more advanced third party toolboxes). The learning curve is also a bit steep. I had to watch a few tutorials before I dared importing my first clips in FCE. I recommend the free tutorial from Izzy Video.

  • Final Cut Express HD 3.5 Quits unexpectedly while opening

    Hi all. I have Final Cut Express HD 3.5. I bought it several years ago and used it on my Mac Book Pro (2006 model). I bought an iMac a few years later (December 2009). I can't remember what OS the iMac came with, but it's currently running 10.6.8.
    I recently was asked to collaborate on a video project, so I installed FCE to use on the project. The installation went just fine, and the software didn't seem to disagree with my system, nor the system with the software.
    I then went to open* FCE, and got the following error message:
    "Final Cut Express HD quit unexpectedly while using the Impromptu Analysis plug-in."
    *Note: this is the first time opening the software on this computer after the first time installing it on this computer.
    Here is a shot of the loading/splash screen:
    It tells me that while loading Audio Filters, It comes across a "MOSO: Impromptu Analysis" and somehow doesn't like it.
    Live type and Sound track both seem to work fine.
    THINGS I HAVE TRIED:
    1. the first thing I did was a search of my computer for "Impromptu Analysis," and found a .component (I think) plugin. it wasn't in the traditional audio plugins folder, but within a folder containing the application (Impromptu) in my documents folder My first instinct was "get that thing out of here!!" so I deleted it. problem not solved.
    2.  Did a complete software update of everything, verify and repaired permissions, and still nothing.
    3. uninstalled and reinstalled, and nothing.
    4. Ran software update again.
    5. reboots between each step.
    6. Bid on Final Cut studio 5 on ebay. I've since been outbid (but still watching like a hawk).
    What I don't understand is even after deleting the plugin, rebooting and an uninstall and reinstall of FCE, and it's still messing with the plugin.
    THINGS I HAVEN'T TRIED
    1. upgrading to 4.0 (don't have a disc, and it's not available for a free update, since it's discontinued, is it?)
    2. reinstalling the plugin that's causing the issue
    3. deleting or resetting the preferences of the AU plugins list. (not sure how to).
    my best guess on the problem plug-in is that it is part of an install of the live coding software called Impromptu (http://impromptu.moso.com.au/). But it's blowing my mind as to why it's still messing things up even after I deleted it. I don't think I ever did a proper install of Impromptu, nor did I do a proper uninstall...
    If anyone can point me in the right direction, that'd be super swell.
    Thanks!

    Well never mind everyone. Apparently, Searching your computer for plugins through spotlight doesn't search the plugins folder in either the "Macintosh HD" location or the ~/Library locations.. Go figure.
    I went to re-install the trouble plugin, and to my surprise, I still had 2 copies of the plugin installed on my system. I trashed them, as well as the other 15 or so of their brother and sister Impromptu Plugins, and got the software to open! now all I have to do is figure out what codec/setup to use.
