Transferring Final Cut Training DVD to HD and then playing from HD

Does the latest (Aug 07) MacBook Pro come with any software that is able to play the contents of Final Cut Pro Studio 2 training DVD after it's contents have been copied to a folder on the HD? I did that to save wear on my Optical Drive and now I can't figure out how to play it . Any help greatly appreciated.

Open up DVD player, then go to file>open DVD media
A dialog box will appear. Find where your folder is where you have copied the DVD to your hard-disk and choose the VIDEO-TS folder. Click on "choose", The DVD player will then start but will show a black screen. Press play on the remote window and the DVD will play.

Final Cut X brings up interface and then says loading compressor and then the computer hangs.

Final Cut X hangs the computer (G5 with 6 terabytes of disk and on san network using optical cable). The interface appears, a loading compressor message appears, and several minutes later FCX not responding can be seen on the force quit panel. The operating system has been reloaded and all references to Final Cut Studio have been removed. Just for reference Microsoft Office 11 behaves similarly, although 08 works.

I also think you could do a process of elimination thing here to isolate the problem as eddy is suggesting. But it does seem as if the usual suspects are not the suspect here for your situation. Sorry I could not be of more assistance. I think the reload of the apps is a great place to start. Then, as Eddy says, move your projects and events to a hidden location in a folder somewhere. Then simply make a Final Cut Projects folder and a Final Cut Events folder either in your system drive's Movies folder or at the top level of an attached external drive. Then copy just one of your events folders from the previous set to the newly created Final Cut Events folder. Then see if you can get into the application. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry.

How can I copy picture on a CD and then play them on the blue ray player on my TV?

How can I copy pictures from iphoto on a CD then play it on my blueray player on the TV?

You are attempting to do this in a very difficult manner. Why not simply get an AppleTV ($75 refurbished from Apple) and you can share all your iPhoto content on your TV. That would be much easier than exporting to a CD/DVD, loading it into a player and then playing from a DVD. Apple tells about setting up Home Sharing in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4352.

Aperture and other Pro Applications ( Final Cut, Motion, DVD Studio Pro )

Hi folks,
I have bought Final Cut Studio a while back, and have been working with all the tools for a while now ( FCP, Motion and DVD Studio Pro ). Recently I also switched to Aperture to manage / capture / organise my digital photographs ( previously I used iPhoto ).
Now I was wondering how I could use the pictures from my Aperture library in Motion or DVD Studio Pro. When I look at the file Browser, I can easily use some iPhoto pictures, but apparently I can't seem to find anything for Aperture.
What I would like to do is use some pictures from Aperture in a Motion project and also include an Aperture album in DVD Studio as a SlideShow.
What would be the best way to do this ? Do I have to export the pictures I want to use ? Or am I missing something ?
Regards,
Stefaan

Stefaan,
Unfortunately, that type of integration between the Pro Apps is not there (yet). It would definitely be a nice feature to have. We should all send feedback to Apple asking for this feature. For now, you will need to export photos for use in these other apps.
Along the same lines, I would also like to see integration with Aperture and the "iLife" programs. Since Aperture will likely replace iPhoto for at least some of us, it would be nice to be able to use Aperture photos in these apps as well.

Final Cut training disc

I am trying to learn Final Cut Pro. I bought the book Final Cut Pro from Peachpit. I have Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 and Apple Pro Training Series - Final Cut Pro 6 - lesson files DVD 1/08. I loaded the files on a hard drive as instructed in the book. When I try to open these files in Final Cut Pro the files refuse to open and I get the message: “file format is too new for this version of the application” I have tried two dual processor Macs with the same result I sent an email to Peachpit Press technical support over a week ago and left a message on their answering machine since they refused to answer the phone during business hours. Does anyone our there know the answer to this problem??? Perhaps Peachpit would be kind enough to answer. Thank you to anyone who can help. John

You can update to FCP 6.0.2 to have project files open or if you're reluctant to update your software version for whatever reason you can download the lesson files HERE that will open on FCP 6.0.1
Hope that helps!

Hey, I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera, whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there, please help !

FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
What is your camera's exact model name and number?

Is Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 5 still relevant and usable?

Is Final Cut Studio with Final Cut Pro 5 still relevant and usable? I bought it about four or five years ago and never started learning it, but would like to start learning editing now. Thanks.

That is the version I have. What formats can I work with in FCP 5.1. For example, can I edit movies from my Nikon Coolpix 7900 point and shoot that is about five years old? My Panasonic DV camera that is also about five or six years old? Will I be able to burn these types of footage to disc once edited and watch them on a DVD player. Thanks for your former replies.

Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1

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 Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1.1 be used on the same machine?
I'll post this on the Final Cut Pro thread too (but with the order reversed).

1. No idea.
2. Depends what the file is.
3. Yes. Though I've never tried to run them at the same time.

Final Cut Server is for video and photo archiving?

Too many products in the last few years. I used to use iPhoto to archive both photos and video and edit them. Now I have moved to the professional line but it gets more confusing.
Aperture2: archiving and cataloguing thousands of pictures with minor edits
Adobe CS4: major edits to my pictures
FCP6: video edit but with no archiving and/or metadata capability
Final Cut Server: for what? Can it archive/metadata all my video and all my Aperture files and work
seamlessly between all these four programs?
Please help. I am considering buying Final Cut Server. I am both a photographer as well as a videographer running many different cameras over many different kinds of shoots. And I am trying to simplify my work process.
Thanks,
Brian

We were in a similar situation as well.
We use Adobe products for photo and desktop stuff
and FCP Suite for video.
We ingest images with Bridge and add keywords.
The raw files are backed up and the corrected images
are processed (Photoshop/Image Processor) and dropped
into a Final Cut Server watch folder.
This action automatically adds the files to FCS for
easy access as well as backs up the images to an
external FTP in our desktop publishing office across
town. Desktop has its own version of FCS that adds
the new files and makes them available for designers.
When we shoot video we shoot mainly with Sony EX3
camcorders with SxS media. Footage is downloaded
and tagged in XDCAM Transfer. The folder that is
labeled "Import" in the utility is also a watch
folder which added the files to FCS.
So in other words Final Cut Server has us organized
and working together much better than we were before.

I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version?

I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version? I ask because this is not an upgrade, but a completely new version.

I'm with Jim on this. It always seems to work out better if you do not install over another version. You can use this app (freeware - thanks to Jon Chappel) to completely remove ALL Final Cut Studio apps and components: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
Once that's done, install your newly purchased version.

Is OS X Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 and Digital Performer 6.02

I'm currently running OS X 10.6.8 and my Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 and Digiital Performer 6.02 work fine.
I want to upgrade to OS X Lion to take advantage of iCloud but I do not want to have to upgrade the FCP or DP programs.
Are my current versions compatible with OS X Lion?
Thanks,
Brett

Several times after restarting Final Cut X was very slow and it always kept repeating rendering on same three clips. Later it stops rendering on every restart and the machine was normal and faster. Now it keeps crushing on every restart

My Final Cut X changed behaviour after conneting the external monitor via HDMI. Several times after restarting Final Cut X was very slow and it always kept repeating rendering on same three clips after every restart. Later the dual screen icon disapeared on the top of my screen and it stops rendering on every restart like before and the machine was normal and faster. Now Final Cut won't start anymore whenever I start it loads and crushes immediately on every restart.

Upgrade FCPX

Using Compressor 4, How do you create a droplet to transcode from final cut files to mp4, mp3 and m4v formatting?

Using Compressor 4, How do you create a droplet to transcode from final cut files to mp4, mp3 and m4v formatting?

Take a look at this section; it's pretty clear.
Compressor offers settings for each of the output formats you want. (For example, the m4v sttings for Apple Devices.)
Good luck.

When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.
Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.
If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.

I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

I took away my backup disk with me so just took it from there excellent. I am back home at present working on my imac. When I go to use my macbook air on these projects (when away on boat) is it easiest to simply copy the Project and Events folders in total from my imac onto the other machine and do the same upon my return in reverse? I don't use icloud
