TS3850 Importing to Final Cut Pro from Canon XM2

My new iMac hasn't got a firewire port... Only Thunderbolt?? How do import from a Canon XM2 Camcorder? Apple Final Cut Pro says that this camera is compatible but which cables do i need???

You'll need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor.

Video quality changes when imported into Final Cut Pro

I have video files that I have imported from an external hard drive that were transferred from an HD camera. When viewing the footage directly from the hard drive, the quality is great. Once imported into Final Cut Pro, however, there are small "flares" (don't know how else to describe them) that appear for split seconds across the screen. The best way to describe it is if you are watching a television that has an antenna, there will be static or interferance on the image. This is barely noticable but I can't determine what would cause the decline in quality. My video settings are set to DV NTSC 48 kHz and wonder if this is the problem or if anyone knows of something else that I should change prior to importing.

Thank you so much for your help! I am technically challenged and STRUGGLING to say the least.
Some files are definitely H.264 and I can convert them to ProRes. I also have clips that are
DVCPRO HD 1080p25, 1,440 x 1,080 (1,888 x 1,062)
Linear PCM, 16 bit big-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
Current Size: 1,440 × 810 pixels
Will I need to do anything to those as well?
Here is the question I'm afraid to ask because I think I know the answer already. Can I simply replace the clips in my sequence with the newly compressed ProRes files or do I have to change all of the video and sequence settings and then start all over?

Cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store

Hello,
I cannot download Final Cut Pro from the app store.
I says "Failed to download" and error has occurred
What is wrong?
is it my Macbook?

I had a problem way back in the olden days, i.e., FCPX 10.0.2, and finally gave up and called the Apple Store using a land-line phone.
Anyway, (this was a couple years ago), if I remember right, they passed me off to someone in the FCPX group and I got the App. However, this was not a really goo way to go because for many updates afterward, everytime I wanted to update I had to go thorugh the same ritual.
Finally, probably around 10.0.8, things got "fixed" and since then I've been able to go direct and download it from the App Store without having to make a phone call.
My suggestion would be to try calling the App Store. Maybe, if there is a "global problem" and they get a lot of calls, they will fix it.
Heck, maybe write a Knowlede Base (KB) article about it.
Disclaimer: I didn't check to see if there was one.

If it's in the purchased page and doesn't download, you should contact Apple.

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

FCP doesn't work with 3GPP, which is basically a cellphone compression format. FCP only works with media in the QuickTime framework. It only works with video in standard video frame resolutions, which 800x480 isn't, and with video that uses uncompressed audio, while yours is compressed.
Standard definition video is 720x480 at 29.97fps with uncompressed 48k audio in a production codec, which H.264 isn't; it should be either DV or DV50 or ProRes.

No. You simply sign in to the App Store and download it again. AppStore knows that you already paid for it.

Trouble restoring final cut pro from time machine

I cant install registered version of final cut pro from time machine after system restore. It asks for serial number, but I dont have it. How do I find it?

I don't use time machine, but my understanding is that needing to re-authorize the software with the serial numbers when you do a restore from time machine is the way time machine works.

Final Cut Pro X/Canon Vixia Import Time Different

Hi,
I have an annoying issue that I have not been able to figure out. I use a Canon Vixia M41 camera to record family videos in AVCHD. I usually import them directly off the card into Final Cut Pro X by first making an archive to store on another hard drive, and then import the actual clips into the library.
Everything works fine and seems to have been working fine for a while, but I recently noticed that my import time on all of my clips is off an hour. Now, I first thought, okay, daylight savings time, so I went into my camera and checked the time and date settings. I manually adjust for daylight savings time, so I do not have anything in the camera making the DST change automatically.
When I looked in the camera, the date and time are perfect. When I look at the clips on the card and click to play them back on the actual camera, the date and time are perfect there too; however, when I import those clips into Final Cut, the time on all of them are off by one hour. They are ahead an hour, so instead of 5 am, it's 6 am.
I know I can adjust the time in Final Cut, but I would like to know why the time is right on the camera and the clips on the camera, but import wrong when brought into Final Cut. I don't want to have to always check to adjust everything I bring into the application.
Any ideas? I am willing to test out anything. I have also noticed that it has been doing this for a while now and I didn't notice.
Thanks!
Using Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 on 2009 Mac Pro (Nehalem) on OS 10.9.3
Canon Vixia M41 recording AVCHD

I've been running FCPX from version 10.0.1 up to the latest, and I spent some time puzzling why the time on imported files from my Panasonic SD700 were always an hour out. I tried several experiments setting the daylight savings on or off and adjusting the set time on the camera but FCPX always got it 1 hour wrong. This was despite the fact that the date/time on the raw video file in Finder was correct.
In the end I just had to accept that it was always going to be an hour out and either set the camera clock 1 hour back or take a short clip of the time on my phone so I could batch adjust the clips later! I can only assume FCPX gets its time from the metadata in the file structure and that some manufacturers' implementations confuse it!

Trying to download video into Final cut pro from my canon XHA1 HD camera

I have a brand new I-mac 24 inch 4gs of memory and a terabite of hard drive, with Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 Studio 2. I have a brand new Canon XHA1 HD camera. when I plug in my 4pin firewire the computer it won't except the camera or the firewire, but I-movie will? the warning sign says it can't find the firewire? does any body know what settings I need to set, so my computer will except and download my video footage in final cut pro?

I've got the Canon XH-A1, but I'm still using FCP 5.1.4, for the moment. I've had no problem capturing from the camera. Are you using Log and Capture? The simplest way to try capturing, once you're in Log and Capture is to hit play in the controller section (or space bar), and then use the capture now button, once the video has started playing. There is an entire chapter in the book on how to use the log and capture facility, so I'm not going to get too detailed here. If you can't get it to work, please be specific about how far you get. Can you play the video on the camera?, Does it show the transport controls?, etc.

How can I restart media import in final cut pro?

The operation of background activities on Final Cut Pro is often convenient, except when an import gets interrupted by an inadvertant media removal. I usually have multiple SD cards connected to my Mac doing imports, and if I have more media than I have adapters/slots to connect them with, I will invariably unplug the wrong card, and interrupt an import that is in progress. When I put the card back in, there is nothing that I can see to "restart" the import of that media where it left off at, or at least start over, and overwrite any incomplete files. Instead, it seem that I need to import the card into a new event, and then use finder to then move the media files into the old event folder structure. Only then, can I get something that seems to work.
Is there some other way to reliably restart the import, or otherwise force the import to actually work? It seems that if I try to import to the same event, again, I see the animation of the closing file selection dialog toward the events, but the background tasks window shows no activity, and I don't see anything ever complete as an import.
This, also blocks any attempt to "share" the project too, because it keeps complaining about an import which has not finished, and thus the project is still referencing "media on the camera" . That limitation has got to go away too! I really want to construct my project, share it, and move on. Waiting for media to "import" when I actually can construct the project with the preliminary media view doesn't make sense. Even if importing needs to happen for conversion/rendering for the share, just do that in the background. Let me say "share", and go do something else with my time!
I have submitted feedback on this, but if anyone has pointers of simplifying import from SD cards that would be great!

Select the photos you want rotated, open the Inspector (command-4). In the Video section of the Inspector, hover your mouse near the Transform and click show if it's not already open. The rotation setting is in there.

Editing 3D in Final Cut Pro from Doremi

Hello. I am trying to take 3D content from a medical arthroscopic camera and edit it together with 2D footage from an external camera. The glasses and monitor sold by the medical company make viewing 2D and 3D fine, so it is OK for the video to alteranate between 2D and 3D.
The Doremi V1HD contains the 3D footage. When I import it to my computer, I find that the format is 3D 1080 60i and the codec is 3D 4.2.2. JPEG2000 100Mbit/s 8 bit. Any ideas on if there a way to import this into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 for editing with my 1080i 2D footage from another camera? Is there a plugin that will allow me to do this? And then, I'll need to upload the final video back to the Doremi in the same format.

I'm sure apple has something up their sleeve, but for now, stereo in FCP is still a bit of a hack.
Check out my earlier thread about this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2192392&tstart=0
There are a couple of helpful links for hardware and stuff toward the end.
We ultimately abandoned this route and are using IRIDAS Framecycler and Baselight to view our stereo material, but I'd love to hear about your FCP solutions if you decide to pursue it.
