------ Underlining words in Final Cut?????

Hello,
I have 2 simple questions:
(1) I was wondering if it is possible to underline words when you are applying text. There are drop down options for bold and italic, but not underline. Any suggestions?
(2) When you are applying text, is it possible to only bold or italicize one word without affecting the rest of the words in the box, or do you have to create another track to separate each effect?
Thanks!

Oh no.... it's FAR more than that... Please refer to all things Bruce for further details.

  • Any word about final cut pro and closed captioning?

    Has anyone heard any news of Final Cut Pro dealing with the issue of closed caption for their software?

    Close Captioning is done through/with DVDSP, not FCP. Not good news if you want to deliver on tape-- but great if you deliver on DVD<<</div>
    Todd,
    Not exactly true ... While they may seem to serve a similar function, Closed Captioning and Subtitling are two distinctly different things. Subtitles can be used on DVD-Video and turned on or off by the user via the remote (or defaulted to on by the author). Subtitles are also used by film makers releasing their films in foreign language countries.
    On the other hand, Closed Captioning is encoded into line 21 of an NTSC video signal. CC is received and decoded by TV sets (required on ALL TV sets sold in the U.S.) as mandated by FCC ruling several years ago and more recently required by law under provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
    Since it's inception, CC inclusion was a very expensive process and remained in the realm of specialized service companies for many years. With the recent passing of the FCC's deadline for almost ALL broadcast programing (with few exceptions) to be closed-captioned, I would think/hope that NLE vendors, like Apple, Avid and others would incorporate CC capabilities into their programs. There is one other CC software solution for Macs that I'm aware of available from: http://www.ccaption.com/

  • Refining search for specific words in clips in Final Cut Pro X

    Heads-up - I'm not a newbie to video editing, but I am certainly not a pro.  Just an "advanced consumer" getting to know Final Cut Pro X,  who has a hobby of video-taping mountain bike races, then creating a video for a year-end banquet.  I have many hours of clips I to sort through.  To catalog each clip I have keywords such as "fast" and "muddy", and marks that further describe the racer's moments.
    For example, I have a long clip where I see boy amongst a bunch of other big guys doing stuff also worth noting.  I put a mark  "boy hops log" where he's doing his thing.  Keywords to describe the boy are "juniorr" "log" and "hop/jump/wheelie". Within the same clip I will  mark other racer activities with remarks like "slip" "spectator says good job"  etc. 
    Back to the boy, who is in multiple clips, say 15.  After the huge job of noting each clip is done, now comes the time to try to sort out the best clips of our boy who I want to include in the video.  
    I will use the Search Filter, using Text Field "boy".  The Search Filter finds boy in all 15 clips.  But now I have to carefully read each mark to try to find where my boy is buried in a busy, umpteen noted,  4 minute clip. 
    I seem to recall that FCE had a Function Key  which I could press to specifically find the next boy. 
    Is there such a Function or key combination that will go next search item in a large field of clips? 
    If not, it certainly would be of help for the next revision of FCX. (Plus having keyword collections in one color, marks in another). 
    Thanks for any assistance, Kelly

    Hi Tom and thank you very much for helping.  I know what I'm asking is a bit esoteric. 
    I already know how to refine the search.  Usually what I do is look for any incidences of "boy" on first pass of creating my story  All I'm looking for is boy.  As I continue to build the video I might look for the boy to do something interesting.  
    Let's say the boy is fast, hops logs, and passes big guys;  I know to continue refining my search I'd click on the search icon, then add  Text and Keywords, Reels,decide between any/all  etc to drill down to exactly what I want.  However, I'm still left with long clips, and very large areas of text to read. 
    Let's say that I found 5 clips with "boy" "hop" "pass". The clips are often long, with multiple marks and keyword collections with In/Out points. 
    I know my inserted picture is teeny and doesn't really help much.  But it shows that the word "boy" is buried in two marks.  Each mark lives on a long clip. I must thoroughly read each clip mark to find "boy". 
    I'm sure there's better ways to notate clips.  There must be overwhelming volumes in real production studios.  If there's a better way to organize, I'm open to suggestion!

  • I am wonder why when i add a picture with words to my slideshow in final cut the res clarity seems to get blurry when the poem I am making is playing the picture seems to become blurry but when i stop it the res quality seems to get better

    i add a picture from the web to the final cut project and as my poem is playing some pictures are getting blurry when it plays but when i pause it the picture seems to be more clear 

    Possibly it's just a matter of switching Quality  to Better Quality in Viewer Display Options. Or rendering the clip.

  • Switching from Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere

    Hi everyone,
    Hopefully there are others here who have made this switch and can offer me thoughts and advice. I have for the past few years used the Final Cut Pro suite as my video authoring media. It's done a great job editing and compressing my videos, so I could burn them to DVD, but the time has come for me to start burning to blu-ray. The problem is, DVD Studio Pro does not support blu-ray (something I discovered after buying the burner, etc).
    After some research, it seems that Adobe Encore is the only software I've found that people recommend for blu-ray authoring on the iMac. Is this true? If I buy Adobe Premiere, will it edit, compress, does it have a color program - basically, will it do everything I've been using Final Cut for, or will I need to move files between the two programs (if they even support this?)
    Anyone with experience in using both programs or just making the switch, please comment with any advice. I'd appreciate it before I take the plunge on another expensive suite of software.

    You can download a trial version. I tried it some time ago and I can only use one word "boring" sorry I can not explain this feeling in a more concrete way.

  • Final Cut Pro working very sluggish, any suggestions ?

    Hello everybody, I've been using Final Cut Pro for a very long time now. Although I've had this problem lately, when the smooth cam analyzation finishes. Final Cut pro ( the Video which was analyzed successfully ), starts working very slow. Something so small as a cut even take like 30 seconds to complete. I'm using a MacBook Pro 17" 3.06 ghz, 8gb 1067 MHz DDR3 ram and connected to a Firewire 800 hard drive that has 7,200 rpm rotational speed. I've tried trashing the preferences and reinstalling Final Cut ( I have the latest version ), but nothing helps. Maybe I need to render all of the video or something, does anyone have any suggestions or any kind of help ? ( Thank You ahead of time ).

    The only way that would work out is if you ran exactly the versions that were made for old PowerBooks. Anything newer may require Intel and not run, or will strain the poor old G4 CPU.
    Your needs have to be modest, too, because the problem with older music and video software is that they are not current as far as formats and codecs for the Web. If you want to output H.264, the current standard for YouTube/Flash video, older software may not support it, and in addition, H.264 is processor-intensive and is tailor-made for today's multi-core, 2+ GHz processors. It will overwhelm a G4. A PowerBook G4 can barely play YouTube videos.
    More perspective: The PowerBooks worked great for miniDV format editing. In other words, 480i SD/standard definition video in use from the late 1990s to the late 2000s. If that is all you want to do, edit tape from an old miniDV camera to SD output, then OK.
    But if you want to edit today's HD video, whether 720p from a snapshot camera/iPhone 4 or 1080p from a DSLR, the PowerBook and the software for it will either not recognize AVCHD/H.264, or it will slow the PowerBook to a dead crawl.
    I'm in agreement with the above: Intel Macs have been out for so many years that getting a used one is a much better deal than a dead-end PowerBook. And I loved (still love) my PowerBooks.

  • Can't Find Final Cut Pro with my admin user!

    It was there, but I changed the name from the person I bought the macbook15 from and now all the settings and apps are set default.
    Is there a way my main account (set to admin) can find Final Cut Pro (and maybe others) to appear on hard drive without having to use the old name and password?
    If I create a new user with the name of the original account is simply says "Username already used". In other words, If I am to use the old username, I have to change my main admin account and go through that all over again.
    Admin should mean, total control of the computer...
    Also does deleting/changing the original user actually delete programs?? It shouldn't, the hard drive files should be left alone. I can't find Final Cut Pro on the drive at all, it seemed to only appear when I'm using the original user name.
    Thoughts....discussions??
    I'm using the latest Macbook Pro 15 and updates.

    Firewire port is not required to install Final Cut Pro. Take a look at the Final Cut Studio system requirements and cross-reference it with your system specifications to discover what hardware your computer is lacking.

  • Mac Pro for Final Cut Studio -- The Buying Guide

    I am starting to think about upgrading my "old" Power Mac G5 Quad system to a Mac Pro system. As you might expect, this raises several issues.
    What I do: I edit DV and HDV on FCS2. My specs are below. I am looking for the best speed (especially for rendering), stability and video quality I can afford (between $5,000 and $6,000).
    Question 1: Is it true that Snow Leopard and FCP 7 are about a year away? If so, please assume for the following questions that I would be working with the full complement of FCS2 applications on the Leopard OS. (How worth waiting for do you think these are?)
    Question 2: Without directing me to the various benchmark and testing sites (which I’ve already looked at), can you suggest the actual performance differences I would see (again, using the whole range of FCS2 apps) in the following:
    Two 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors
    Two 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors
    Question 3: I have heard that (with the exception of Compressor) FCS can only use a maximum of 4GB of RAM, and that the 6GB that the Mac Pro ships with are already more than it can use. Is this true? Is it true that Snow Leopard would allow FCS to make greater use of more RAM? And would this show up in the programs’ performance?
    Question 4: To get the best video performance with my various FCS2 applications, is there a significant quality improvement in moving up from the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB to one of the other video cards? How would I notice a difference in the quality?
    Question 5: Are there any other purchasing considerations I should think about when configuring a new Mac Pro?
    Thanks a lot.

    Well, well, well, you make me think more about my last upgrade of an ATI Radeon 2600 to the latest ATI Radeon HD 4870!
    I was looking on the Final Cut Pro thread to find one answer and look what I found, your questions!
    Since yesterday night I was seeking the Apple Support threads just for fun and I now have doubts.
    I am a Mac Pro (earlier 2008) owner. I upgraded it to 4 x 1.5 Tb Seagate hard drives and 10G of RAM from OWC (Other Word Computing). First let me tell you NOT to buy from Apple Store for your hard drive and/or memory upgrade. They are totally out of price list. I got my Mac Pro first with one 500 Gb Seagate drive. Then I added 2 x 500 Gb hard drives from Apple. I payed them 199,00 $ each
    Last September, I upgraded the drive bays with 4 x 1.5 Tb from OWC. I paid them 229.00 $ each!
    199,00 $ for 500 Gb or 229,00 $ for 1.5 Tb (that"s 3 times 500 Gb) which one would you take? And we are talking about two models from Seagate running at 7200 RPM, with 32 Mb of buffer.
    I mean... What is that?!!?
    And the memory! Don't even think about it.
    I got first 4GB Matched Set (2 x 2GB) for 147,99 $ in September from OWC and my second order was 4GB Matched Set (2 x 2GB) for 132,79 $ in October.
    I payed a total of 280,78 $ for 8GB of RAM while the price for this upgrade on Apple Store woul have cost me 1998,00 $
    *+Source Apple Store :+*
    *+Apple Memory Module 4GB 800MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM ECC 2x2GB $999.00+*
    Multiply that by 2!
    Now how much memory would you need?
    I am not a Final Cut Pro user, but I use Final Cut Express a lot, with animation QuickTime movies exported from my Astronomy software Starry Night Pro Plus.
    Yesterday I posted this into a thread to answer a user :
    +Every morning I have my preferred applications started: Mail, Safari, iTune, Aperture and Final Cut Express. I just did a test for you. I started Mail, Safari, Aperture, Final Cut Express, Starry Night Pro Plus (OpenGL Astronomy Software), Terminal, Quicktime, TextEdit and NeoOffice.+
    +With all these apps running, I still have 6.48G of Free RAM out from the 10G installed!+
    +It's when I start hungry applications like VMWare Fusion running Windows XP, or Quicktime with a lot of movies opened that I could see the memory level going low!+
    +Your bottle neck in video editing will probably be the video card, after the disk speed. Be sure to use 7200 RPM disk and eSATA for your video plans if possible. Firewire 800 will works fine on external drive but it could giggle. I had an ATI Radeon HD 2600 that I recently upgraded to an ATI Radeon HD 4870. the drivers aren't ready yet from Apple. We are all waiting for the next OS X release 10.5.7 for the drivers! For now, I am running on Beta drivers.+
    +It's hard to say by now if I have better performance into Final Cut Express because the movie I was working on was an animation movie using plans exported from Starry Night Pro Plus via Quicktime and "animation" codec without any compression. As soon as I make a modification, I still have to render the output for smooth playing.+
    Now, after some test with Starry Night Pro Plus this morning, I can safety say that Starry Night Pro Plus with Open GL does use my video card extra speed and that my experience navigating into the Universe is much better and smooth.
    But honestly, even if I have to admit that I am using the Beta drivers for the HD 4870, I must say that I have very big doubt that Final Cut Express does use the extra power of the HD 4870 compare to the HD 2600!
    In fact, I am searching the support thread for this answer.
    Does anyone can say if Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro does make use of the extra hardware feature of the ATI Radeon HD 4870 or not?

  • Final Cut Studion 2 Install Failure on 1st Disc

    I had to reinstall FCS2 after a reinstall of Leopard (along with all the updates). When I checked the FCS2 libraries, none of the pro apps could find any of the content files. The files were there, but somehow the links in FCS2 got messed up, so I figured I would reinstall FCS2 and save myself some grief trying to figure out what got broke.
    Famous last words....
    When I try to install FCS2 (4 times now), I start the install from the main install disc, go with the defaults, and it fails about 2 minutes in with the following error:

    Thanks, X
    All the ram has been replace with new Crucial sticks as when I had the box in for service in Dec (still on Apple care, now not), a daughter card was replaced and I was told I had bad ram. Prior to servicing, the AHT failed almost immediately on a FAN error.
    I was doing extensive testing this weekend to, hopefully, eliminate any possible problems on my end, which I have pretty much done, short of wiping the startup drive. I guess now I am only left with making a bootable backup, and dropping the box off with service (hopefully, they will grandfather the SO from Dec to this work) and let them do what the will.....
    Anyway, I pretty sure you are right about it being a hardware issue as +99% of the kernel panics occur on CPU3, and the majority while current task is Kernel_task
    Thanks for the input...

  • Final Cut Studio 2 Licensing

    Quick question that someone may know the answer to. I just recently purchased Final Cut Studio 2 and i am waiting for it to arrive. My question is, does Final Cut Studio 2 allow me to install it on both my Mac Pro and my PowerBook laptop? Or is it just a single license to one computer? If it does allow me to, can I be running it on both machines at the same time or are there restrictions to this?
    Any info would be great. Thanks in advance!

    I meant to write FCS2, not FCP2 in my reply above. Didn't catch that until it was too late to make the edit.
    Just out of curiosity, I pulled out the FCS1 SLA, and it has the same wording about one desktop and one laptop. But then a couple of sentences later it says the license does not allow the software "...to exist on more than one computer at a time..." This sentence is not in the FCS2 SLA. I guess this is the one that's interpreted as meaning FCS1 cannot be used on two Macs owned by the same person at the same time.

  • Setting a new keyboard shortcut in Final Cut Express

    Dear All,
    I'm using Final Cut Express 2, with Tiger.
    I'm doing some editing that includes many dissolves, and so I'm having to go to Sequence>Render Selection>Video very frequently. There's no keyboard shortcut on the drop-down menu.
    Is there any way I can set a shortcut for this? In other words, record a 'macro'?
    Your help received with gratitude!
    Roger

    Dear Tom,
    Thanks again. Very helpful.
    I'm rendering a video file which has audio on it (the source is a mobile phone camera), but I've muted the audio because I'm using the video to accompany original music. It's a kind of music promo. What I'd really prefer to do is to delete the audio track that came with the video entirely - again, any ideas welcomed. But thank you again.
    Roger

  • Final Cut Pro search window does not SORT.

    I am an editor and I use Final Cut Pro everyday. I recently had to upgrade to LION because of a wonderful Quicktime update that corrupts
    video codec files on Snow Leopard. So now that I have LION I can actually edit again. But, when I try to import files into Final Cut the
    search window wont sort my files by date, name, etc...
    It wont actually sort by anything. Every other program works fine for that, mainly After Effects. I have to manually go find files that I used
    to give a certain naming system to because I could find them easily by typing in one word.
    I also cannot search the Network anymore at my office which is a real pain. We dump all our finished projects onto a huge server. Now
    when I need to find an old file I have to know the exact date it was made or else I have to go searching through every folder in our server.
    Any body know of any way to fix these issues without having to rewrite code which I really don't want to do with my company computer.
    Also our IT people refuse to learn anything at all about MAC computers which is SO helpful...

    Im not sure what you are referring to. Maybe I didn't explain the problem correctly.
    Final Cut seems as if it is not indexing the files. Most of the time it won't even show me dates (modified, created, etc...) just dashes. Then if I  do what you are describing and try to sort it at all it stays in the same exact order. I can't even sort alphabetically.

  • Looking for advice on a new Mac Pro system mainly for Final Cut Studio 2

    We are a small video production company that works mainly on broadcast and internet projects. We're looking to upgrade from an aging Avid system to a Mac Pro running Final Cut Studio 2. The primary thing we want from this system is to be able to work quickly in Final Cut while at the same time doing other operations, and we're willing to spend what it takes to make that happen. We've done a lot of research but still have some issues where we could use your expertise - it's a big investment and we want to nail it.
    Here's the configuration we're considering:
    Processor: Two 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (8-core)
    Memory: 16GB (4 x 4GB)
    Hard Drives: 300GB 15,000-rpm SAS (for OS X, Final Cut, & other programs) plus 2 x 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s (for video storage)
    Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600
    We're thinking about spending the extra $1600 to get the best processor available, since we want this machine to be the hub of the business for about five years. Any thoughts on whether to save a bit and go with the 2.8GHz? We've also heard the bus speed presents a bottleneck so the Quad-Core processing power can't be fully utilized - should that have any bearing on our processor decision?
    The memory choice seems right - we'll see how well that works and retain the option to double the RAM, particularly as prices fall and new applications or hardware upgrades become tenable. However, we're thinking of perhaps buying some or all of the memory third-party - any advice on whether this tends to be worthwhile, where to get it, and what to watch out for? It looks like there may some issues with getting proper heat-sinking.
    We like the hard drive plan, though we've heard a 15,000-rpm drive may generate a lot of heat - any thoughts on this?
    The graphics card is where we're most torn - specifically between the Quadro 5600, the GeForce 8800, or perhaps even getting the computer with the standard card (or no card) and getting a different third-party card. We do mostly DV now, but we foresee doing HD projects in the future. We often use a green-screen that's in our studio and also apply minimal 3D effects as well as 3D text. We're debating whether to get the Quadro 5600 right off the bat and hopefully have no issues with it, or whether to get the GeForce 8800 for now and if we have issues then consider upgrading to the Quadro 5600 or potentially something else that would best suit our needs at that time. Would love to receive any and all advice on this issue.
    Also, it looks like we're gonna buy Final Cut Studio 2 and are considering also getting Final Cut Server. It seems the combination would allows us to use the Final Cut suite on other computers (both Mac and Wintel) that don't have their own version of Final Cut installed. Is that the correct interpretation? Any other advice on whether to get FC Server would be appreciated.
    Thanks very much for reading - we look forward to getting any and all advice you may have.

    *Don't do it!* Stick with the dual-2.8GHz config. A jump from that to the dual-3.2GHz gains you only an approximate 9% increase in power at a 52% increase in cost! Not worth it all. That money is much wiser spent on RAM, RAID array, or a broadcast monitor.

    Quadro 5600 is pricey, but I'm not sure about its benefits for people in our field. Even if I had the money for it, I would be hard pressed to consider it considering, again, money is liekly wiser spent elsewhere.

    I don't know much about FCServer, but my impression is that it is -- simply speaking -- Final Cut version of Avid Unity. In other words, I am pretty certain that your understanding on that is false. I may be wrong.

    I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
    thanks in advance..

    You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.

  • Final Cut Pro / Logic Pro Don't Work with MacBook Pro

    I think it's pretty bad public relations that Apple would knowingly sell a new product that does not work with Logic 7.1 or Final Cut Studio, and not bother to tell you.
    We found out the hard way when after a post-production editor spent 3 hours trying to reinstall the discs and called an Apple Support center. They informed us that because of Intel Chips we needed to replace our software completely and pay Apple a fee of $50 per title for this benefit.
    I can live with spending $100 for software which is less than 1 year old (although I think Apple will be sued over this one if not their pathetic support of iPod batteries) but why is so hard for Apple Computers as a company to advise customers when software doesn't work?
    For Apple to call this product a "Pro" product and support it with such pathetic disdain for the client and to not advise their so-called 'geniuses' of this (dare I use the word) "glitch" is really hilarious.

    I don't know what's worse, the fact that some of the replies here are completely immature and stupid, or the fact that some of you have hundreds of posts meaning that you don't seem to do anything else all day except stare at the Apple website and look for things to pick at.
    I have a right as a consumer to complain, and no, this doesn't equate to buying beachfront property or the number of children I have relative to rooms in my house, it equates to whether or not Apple, as a company, feels it is important to notify customers in a meaningful way of changes within their product offerings.
    I'm happy you all seem to have nothing else to do all day except stare at the Apple website, I personally would rather stare at that beachfront property in Big Sur.
