What is Final Cut Pro?

Apple has said that it invited a load of industry people to view the next version of Final Cut Pro (no speculation there!)
I know that you can no longer buy Final Cut Pro on its own so when Apple said the next version of Final Cut Pro did it actually mean Final Cut Studio i.e. are these terms FCP & FCS now interchangeable?
Or to put it bluntly will the other FCS apps be upgraded WITH FCP whenever than happens

What the others have said. Apple does similar with Logic (audio production tool). Logic Pro is the central app behind Logic Studio (a full suite). As with Final Cut Pro/Studio, some people use the names interchangeably, but they refer to two slightly different things (kind of like America vs United States of America).

What's wrong with my Final Cut Pro 7.03?

What's wrong with my Final Cut Pro 7.03?
I have just started up a new project.
Every time I try to ad a clip in top of each other a "general error" shows up. The sequence viewer turned red and it displays that I have to close and reopen the window to restore.
The only "new thing" I do - is the use/brand of camera.
Now I use the canon D5 mark 3 for my project (before D5 mark 2)
What's wrong??? Do I need to update my Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 And how do I do this???
Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Did you use Log & Import? Or did you at least convert the D5 files before importing? FCP doesn't work with those files natively.

Every time I try to open a project in final cut pro it says general error. What do I need to do to make it stop saying this? Please help me.

My final cut pro software is acting up!!! Every time I try to open a project it says "general error" and the timeline doesn't even show up. What do I ahve to do to fix this?

Has it ever worked? What version are you using? Generally the overwhelming suggestion for problems like this are to remove the preferences.

What's the best external drive to use with Final Cut Pro?

I'm looking for a drive to mainly back up my final cut pro work, possibly do a little editing on, what's best? I have a G5 desktop.

Congratulations on your graduation.
On the hope that during your college career you learned how to do original research, you could show some clear initiative and read through those threads my link will reveal. From the drives discussed you might find common elements (praise or conndemnation) that show up after reading dozens of threads. Of the ones that get consistently good reviews by serious users, you can then go the website of the manufacturer and figure out if they fit your budget.
All this can be done in the time of you waiting around for a few people to chip into this thread.
Good luck.

What version of Quicktime is best for Final Cut Pro version 6.0.5?

Hello,
Could anyone tell me what version of Quicktime works best with Final Cut Pro version 6.0.5? Currently I have QT version 7.6.2.
Unfortunately, all the clips are digitizing at 640 x 480 instead of 720 x 480 (I have trashed prefs and checked the sequence settings and Easy Setup, both are set at NTSC 720 x 480). I have also completely re-installed FCP from the original disks.
When I digitize a clip, it digitizes at 640 x 480. When I open the clip itself and look at the properties, the "Presentation" is set to "Clean" (640 x 480) instead of "Classic" (720 x 480). It keeps defaulting to Clean, and therefore digitizing at 640x480.
Should I uninstall QT and go back to an earlier version? If so, which one would be best? Or is there an easier way to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for any help. I've been struggling with this problem for over a week.

You list Sequence settings and Easy Setup, but is there any chance your Capture Preset somehow got tweaked to NTSC 4x3 (640x480), instead of it's normal setting of DV NTSC 3x2 (720x480)
From the extent of troubleshooting steps you've taken, this would be unlikely, but heck your Capture Preset and make sure it's correct.

Hi, I have small problem, for some time in music area I had two folders to use 1. Apple loops for soundtrack pro 2. Final Cut pro sound effects now both are gray and with out content may I know what happend

I just went through this and it appears that my Focusrite Saffire was the culprit. I connected all the outputs on the focusrite according to the way the jacsk on the back were labeled and then set up the multichannel speaker setup to match. Then I went into STP, created a pink noise clip and panned it around, the LFE, center and rears were not in the right place.
I reconnected the hardware to match the 5.1 pan pot in STP then changed the multichannel speaker setup to match. Everything appears to be correct now but I would have loved to have been able to just assigned the output busses to correct outputs in the saffire.
Next step is to pan that pink noise around with my SPL meter to calibrate the room.

When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
Does it play in your Mac?
What brand of disks are you using?

What is the best way to throw text in a 5 minute film in final cut pro

Does anyone know what the fastest way is to put 3d text (like the templates in motion) on a video in final cut pro?

Use live type, you can do some real nice effects with text. Live type has backgrounds you can use, plus you can add your own which is what I do. Then you can use a live type font or standard type with fades, motion paths, glows and all sorts of neat stuff.

Final Cut Pro 6 App says it's 495GB in size! Say what?

I'm trying to clear out hard drive space to keep FCP 7 and FCPX running smooth. I was horrified to discover that under my directory Macintosh>Applications>Final Cut Pro 6 =495.27GB in size! In comparison to FCPX 10.1 which is 3.34GB in size. How can this be? I'd imagine MAYBE with the entire Final Cut Studio suite would POSSIBLY be that large in size, but just the Final Cut 6 app????
Can anyone else verify their size by right clicking and clicking "info" when the FCP6 application in the finder window. I never noticed this before and think something is wrong here. Thanks
BTW, yes apple calls it FCP6, but in the program it says 7.

Thanks a million Shane, this is indeed what happened. Apple felt like putting all of my render files inside the App for no provoked reason! I always run my media on a 2nd dedicated internal hard drive for my media, so I never unplugged or unconnected my Media drive...but I suspect UPGRADING to Mavericks, or should I say, I was forced to upgrade to Mavericks in order to give FCPX a whirl. I assume this issue occured when I made the update to my system, I'm just now noticing it though since I've been using FCPX the last month exclusively.
By the way Shane, since I've pretty much mastered FCP7 like a lot of older power users, how do you feel about FCPX? Are you currently using X? I like that its 64 bit but I HATE connected clips, and the way it handles audio editing. I always wished FCP7 was given a makeover and made 64 bit with updated graphics instead of changing over to this beast! Thanks again Shane.

What codec do I need to view a native Final Cut Pro video file in Quicktime

Greetings all. My video editor provided me with a video file in the native Final Cut Pro format to save time as he could not convert to a .mov file. He said that he is able to open it in Quick Time Pro. I tried opening it in Quick Time Pro but I can just hear the audio. I am guessing it is a Codec issue as I my operating system is Vista (sorry!), and therefore I don't have Final Cut Pro installed. Any suggestions regarding what I need to do to be able to view the video in QT would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
My ultimate objective is to open it in QT Pro and convert it to a QT Movie, so I can then convert it to Flash Video for online streaming.

Ask the creator to send you an H.264 version of the file. The current file can't be viewed on a PC and there are no PC versions of the codec.

Help. What format is best to export to for Final Cut Pro editing from PPCS5?

Ok. So I really have no experience with Final Cut. After reading online for an hour about what formats to use, I was still left with no clear answer and confused. Here's my issue: I have 1080i 60i .tod files from my JVC ready to be batch exported from CS5 Encoder, I need a format that will be read and able to be edited on Final Cut Pro without issue.
Could someone with Final Cut experience please chime in:
What should I use exactly?
Greatly appreciated,
Nick

Are you using Premiere on the same Mac that FCP is on? If so, your best format choice is QuickTime and codec choice would be ProRes422. If, however, you're on a different Mac or on a PC instead, I'd suggest QuickTime with the freely available, cross-platform Avid codecs. You'd probably want to use DNxHD, in that case.
The Avid codecs are great because, well, they're free, but more importantly, they're available for both decoding AND encoding on Mac and PC. ProRes, on the other hand, only has an encoding component for Mac, and it has to have FCP installed on it.

What is the best Youtube video converter for Final Cut Pro?

I want to keep the quality of the video and import into Final Cut Pro to edit. What is the best way to get the video in the correct format?

I've used FastestTube
http://fastesttube.kwizzu.com/
usually this allows you to download the files as MP4 files in either 360p or 720p, or as FLV files
I would download as 720p MP4 & convert in compressor to prores, etc for FCP.
