your Mac came preinstalled with Garageband and iMovie. both apps offer the main features for podcasts, 99 audio-tracks and all kind of editing stuff, greenboxing, pic-in-pic, titleing..
before you dare the 199$ plunge into FC/e, try these tools ... for free ...-

  • What is the least expensive quality chroma key software...?

    What is the least expensive chroma key software for the mac...
    Also, I'm correct that using chroma key does not require that you go frame by frame, right?

    You shouldn't really need 3rd party software, as FCP and FCE both come with decent keying filters, but I have heard good things of the FxFactory. I believe that software does keying (among other things).
    And yes, as long as your green/blue/whatever background doesn't change in hue/saturation/luma inside the clip, you should not have to keyframe.

  • What's the deal with Final Cut Express HD and me?

    A few months ago, I encountered a lot of problems when I was trying to capture some HD video using Final Cut Express H.D. I've set my camera (a JVC GR-HD1U) to the MPEG2 setting, and I changed the set up in Final Cut to Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60. The good news is that I was able to capture for about 15 seconds. Then the capture stops, and a message comes up telling me that I have reached the end of the tape. Only I haven't.
    So.....what's the deal here?
    Is there something that I am overlooking, or doing wrong? Or is it just not meant to be for me to capture HD Video?
    If someone could let me know, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks everyone.

    Am I right in thinking this camera isn't compatible/on the supported list? Does it work with iMovie? Perhaps you could capture there and import into FCE?
    I see in your earlier post Manson Root had captured from this camera successfully. Perhaps they will reply again.

  • What Is The Difference With FInal Cut Studio 2 Academic To Full Version?

    Hi there I just got a Macbook Pro and plan on buying Final Cut Studio 2 but found the Academic version cheaper and was wondering what the difference is especially with quality and the handling of hd video Sony EX HD to be exact). Thank you for any responses.

    The software is the same; the only difference is that you cannot upgrade an academic version and you have to be able to qualify for the academic pricing (students and teachers).

  • What's the least expensive way to upgrade from 10.4.11?

    I have neglected to upgrade in a timely manner.  Now what?

    Hello, skip the incredibly expensive 10.5 Upgrade.
    First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
    then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

  • What is the diff between final cut express and pro

      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    They are basically the same programs with a few features (that only pros usually require) missing from FCE.
    All the Video Effects and Transitions are the same.
    The main differences are concerned with esoteric features like being able to capture video other than DV - things which will not affect most amateurs or even some professionals.

  • 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.

  • I am looking to buy the least expensive high resolution digital video camera to convert/record 8mm video tapes.

    Hi. Thanks for your help in advance.
    I am looking to buy the least expensive digital video camera with the highest resolution I can find in order to use it to record 100s of old (1960s era ) reel to reel video tapes. I am told that in order to do that I must record the "old" video onto a new platform, which means I will set up an "old" projector and play the tapes and record the video on a digital camera. I only want to do this once so I want the highest resolution format I can find. Therefore, I am looking for a camera to purchase. Any help is appreciated.

    Hello Lance,
    Transferring film to digital video is a complex, challenging process.  To cut to the chase, the best way to do this is to engage a firm that specializes in film-to-digital transfer services.  There are quite a few around.  Costs for 8mm transfer range anywhere from about $0.15 - $0.40 per foot and there are usually significant discounts for bulk projects.  Plus, depending on the cost of the video camera you would otherwise consider buying, you may find it costs less overall to use a service than do it yourself.
    You also mentioned that you "want the highest resolution format" ...  Once you project 8mm/Super8 film onto a screen the effective resolution will not even be what we might consider "standard-def" in digital video.  And the larger the projected image the lower & lower the effective resolution regardless of what kind of video camera you might use.
    A transfer service, however, directly scans each frame to digitize them and depending on the math the resulting digital image may technically be as "good" as 720p ... but the overall image quality will still be limited by the quality of the original film ... and still probably not up the level of "standard-def" digital video ... but way better than anything you could obtain with a homebrew projector-screen-videocam setup.
    Why DIY?  Well, it sounds inexpensive and simple.  But in reality it is a very time consuming way to get relatively low quality transfers no matter how high-end or expensive a video camera you use.  I can share more details if necessary, but DIY film-to-video transfer is not the way to go if you are really interested in quality results.
