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.)

How is MacBook Pro working with Appleworks, Final Cut Express, etc?

Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
I've heard Applications in iLife work with MacBook Pro great.
Anyone have any problems with
1. Appleworks?
2. Final Cut Express?
3. Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac?
Anything else about this new system one should look out for, be aware of?
- Ross

Ross,
I can only respond regarding Office 2004. So far, Entourage works great and I've had no problems. Same with Word. PowerPoint is a little slow, but it was on my PB too. I hardly ever use Excel, but, I am sent Excel files all day long and opening them and getting around them seems to have no issues.
In general, I think that Office will be better as a Universal App (whenever?) but it is "okay" now.

Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

Thanks Tom.
So I will need upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?

Problem with my Final Cut express HD's livetype & soundtrack programs

Hi everyone, hope someone could help me
In 2006 i but my Final cut Express HD for my laptop Macbook. I have used a lot, it always worked.
I haven't used it this year and the only new thing a did to my laptop was installed the snowleopard software is now 10.6.8. But yesterday, i try to save a project in my LIVETYPE and SOUNDTRACK (programs that come with the Final Cut Express HD) it automatically close up deleting everything and appear a window saying: that quit unexpectedly and push reopen and repeat the error over and over again.
the program (Livetype and Soundtrack) opens and are install perfectcly but it doesn't let you save or export anything it automatically close it up.
Final cut is the only one that let you save projects.
I have install and uninstall it many time and it still doesn't work.
I will like to know what happens? and how can i fix it?!
Thank you so much
best regards
isabella

But in the end everything is install perfectly but it repeat the same problem when i try to save a project in livetype or soundtrack but not in final cut. This is what appears in my screen:
Thanks again!

I need help with my Final Cut Express HD

When I click on Final Cut Express HD file, it is saying I have an error and it will open, why is this happening? It was working before and now it is not.

There is absolutely no way anyone can know what is causing the problem unless you give full details of your computer setup, what you have been doing etc. etc.
It's like telling a doctor you are not feeling well and giving him (or her) no more information.
The only possible advice with so little to go on would be to Trash the Preferences and if that didn't work, completely UNINSTALL and reinstall FCE:-

What acp card do I need to operate Final Cut Express?

I recently installed Final Cut Express and got a message that it cannot work without and ACP card. Which one and where can I buy it?

I should add that with the release of FInal Cut Pro X, both Final Cut Express & Final Cut Studio have been removed from the Apple store & authorized resellers. So there's actually no upgrade to FCE 4 available any more unless you can find a copy that may still be in some store's inventory somewhere, or perhaps on eBay. For example, B&H still seem to have it available, for $79.95 - but that could disappear any time. (On the B&H website, search for "Final Cut Express" then scroll through the list to find the upgrade package.

Will Compressor 4 work with my Final Cut Pro 7 in Final Cut Studio?

I decide to use Final Cut Pro 7 instead of Final Cut Pro X to use the Apple Color. But I wonder if the Final Cut Pro 7 can render video or work with Compressor 4 instead of the Compressor 3. Any ideas of what to do?
Thank you for the answer.
Steve

This recently came up in another thread. on FCP6.
I'd say pretty much the same applies to FCP7 as FCP 6 – except that the features for C3.5 are even more comparable to C4 than are C3.0. No interoperability between the new Compressor and the legacy versions of FCP, but many of us have always just exported QT movies fron FCP and used those as source fies. That can obviously still be done "working with" C4.
Is it worth the $49 for those who own FCS3? IMO, it's doubtful unless you do a lot of Web hosting work.
Good luck.

What is the best HD camera for mac final cut express?

Hello
I am looking to buy a new video camera. I have a really old one that my sister is always taking to use as well. I am a video artist. I do not need super super fancy, not professional. Under 700.
However, I would love to buy something with a big storage space. I am going cross country and will have little axcess to upload my footage everyday. I would like a mic jack, and just something EASY to upload and deal with.
I have final cut pro on another computer if express is not good. I am leaving July 1st and am in need soon. Hopefully someone will know the answer to my question. Thank you.
Will take any suggestions. IE: stores I can go talk to people? I am in NYC.

Hello JG,
You can go either tape or non-tape based cameras.
Sounds like you are leaning towards a non-tape cam?
I use a n SD card in my Panasonic SDT-750 and it works fine. Has external mic input, headphone socket and a raft of manual overides with 3 CMOS sensors.
This camera is a joy to use when you understand all the features.
A 32 gig card gives around 4 hours of HD highest quality interlaced footage, much more if you lower the data rate (I wouldn't).
Buying several cards is very affordable and you have srpead the footage over a few cards rather than one large hard drive (they can fail).
Any standard AVCHD camera, such as mine, wil work OK with FCE.

Need help with editing AVCHD files in Final Cut Express 4

The AVCHD files were recorded on a Canon HG10 before I bought a Mac Pro OS X 15.1.
I transfered them to a file on my desktop, like the instructions tell me to do, but when I get to the part of "mount the media files in the log and transfer", I get stuck.
The file is named AVCHD and when I try to upload it into the Log and Transfer window through the little plus sign on the left hand top corner, I get the following message:
"AVCHD" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
It does not allow me to import the files individually. I tried dragging the files to where it says "Drag media here" and nothing happens. If I try to drag the file to the area in the top left corner of log and transfer, I get the same message as above.
What do I need to do?

I have a different camcorder, but my experience might be of help to you.
I have a Sony HDR-UX1 AVCHD camcorder that records to 8cm DVDs.
I tried using Apple Final Cut Express 4's FILE > LOG AND TRANSFER command to capture directly from the 8cm DVD, which resided in an external Sony DVD drive... and I was not successful.
Then, I remembered my experience on Windows XP where I used Corel's Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus.
With Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus, I found I had to drag the contents of removable media discs and disks to my Windows desktop, which then allowed me to use the software video capture tools successfully.
So I tried the same thing with Apple Final Cut Express 4.
I dragged the BDMV FOLDER on my 8cm AVCHD disc to my Mac's desktop.
I then used the FILE > LOG AND TRANSFER command and simply browsed to the folder on the desktop and -- Voila! -- the contents of the folder appeared as video thumbnails in the LOG AND TRANSFER WINDOW and everything worked.
Hope this helps,
Private Idaho

Hi everyone and hi fugnug,
{quote:title=fugnug wrote:}
There are many ordinary tasks that don't work with Panther. Browsing with Safari is a good instance. That seems to be a Mac thing, even though Safari 2 and 3 aren't for Panther, so the browsing experience just isn't as good. Safari 1 is fast, but it just won't run newer developer's scripts. The sad thing about Safari being a Mac thing is that it is supported on Windows Xp which is just as old as Panther.{quote}
It is disappointing safari 2&3 isn't supported by Panther. But, ya know we gotta
live with it. Windows XP is Microsoft. Panther users really don't need it with free/donationware like OpenOffice and NeoOffice. You can also try FileJuicer and
purchase it for a small price, and it can come in really handy if you need to open Windows type documents and Stuffit deluxe for Mac can open some of them too.
Safari 1 has a few substitutes that work very well and are current and supported.: like Seamonkey, iCab, Camino. Firefox is no longer updated current for Panther though.
{quote}
Another common thing like a dashboard isn't really supported.
{quote}
Yahoo widgets works for Panther and it's a really nice App. It was Konfabulator before Tiger was out.
{quote}
Also most freeware developers don't make their programs supported by Panther these days. A very common dismay for Panther users is to see a really great program and download it eagerly forgetting to look at the req-specs and then get the little disappearing icon on the dock. That crash should come with a fog horn sound effect, it would really be a good metaphor for that feeling you get. Not just freeware, but newer software like Adobe CS3. (Of course, if you had the money to buy CS3, you could probably sprig for Leopard{quote}
There's plenty to keep you more than productive available on Versiontracker.com
with lots and lots of older panther compatible versions. (Although not all of them are still in the severs. Just check the versions in the preview of the source at the bottom of your browser.
{quote}
Screen-shots is common task; AppleShift3(4). You can only save in PDFs, which we all know you can't upload to Photobucket. So you have to export from Preview, which is reminiscent of Print Screen and paste into Paint in Windows (a total turn off). I've heard there was a way to change it and I think I found a tutorial once about how to change the save screen format... but I think it was actually for Tiger, because it didn't work for me /fog horn{quote}
You can export from preview to other formats easily by clicking on File/Export..
Sure though, some things out there don't work on panther. Like free songs from Amazon require a special downloader compatible with 10.4.x and higher.
If you want to listen to full songs for free, there's sites out there that let you type in what you want to listen to and you can stream it in from your browser.
Some sites like nintendo and probably others require Firefox. So, yes. Time is ticking against panther.
I'm in the serious consideration stage of upgrading to Tiger or Leopard. For some
things on the Web we need to stay current. Honestly, now a days everyone who uses
a computer needs to.
But, Panther is a very fun and snappy OS for me. I'll miss it's simplicity and humbleness. It's been totally awesome for my family and me! It's had it's shortcomings, but I look forward to a bright future in upgrading.
Cheers,

With all the games coming out for iMacs what Gaming Pad or Jotstick works with the Imac

Now the bad news. In my "Print to Video" pop up, if
I select "Color Bars" , "Black", or any other option
and take out my bars and tone and slug from the
timeline, the print to video does not print anything
to tape except for a nice nothing blue. I don't
even get my actual timeline video printed to tape.
Jerry,
You are a genius! Man do I feel silly. So just for the benefit of others who might read this post, I did exactly as you said, and of course when I restarted FCP, I had to identify my Firewire NTSC setting for the drive. This time, instead of leaving my tapedrive offline, I left it on and immediately saw on my drive monitor the video coming off of my timeline.
Every thing works perfect. I now have a clean timeline with just the content I'm working on and don't have to worry about bars, slugs, post black. Just a few checkboxes and I'm ready to send my tapes off. Really nice feature.
Thanks!
