What's the best set up to work with clips captured on iPad 2?

I got fop 7 5 months ago, never really used it yet, now I'm seen red lines all the time, unlike iMovie which plays all the clips back with out having to render all day long, I was wondering what settings I should use,
someone mentioned that it's probably a good idea to compress all the videos into one format, then setting fop to the same format to play them back real time, makes sense although I thought FCP normally plays all formats, in any case I tried going through topics here and it's all scattered information, can someone please clear this up, my end product is for you tube so it's not like a film or anything, I would use iMovie but I have green screen clips I need to superimpose etc.
Thanks in advance

You may find better advice on the iPad and iMovie forums. You are correct that FCP can handle almost any video format but you are incorrect in your assumption that FCP can play any format unless it is specifically set up to do so. FCP7 is more than 2 years old, it was created long before the iPda2's video shooting functions were available so there are going to be some bumps in yoru process.
This is a forum, not a dedicated help system. Like any pullet in board, information here is presented in discussions, often arguments. difficult to simply browse the hundreds of thousands of threads and expect to find useful information.
YouTube has tens of thousands of active iPad users. Have you tried searching youtube for tutorials on this very topic?
I do not know what format the iPad shoots. But you want to either transcode your video as it comes into FCP, transcode your clips after you've moved them to the Mac and before you bring them into FCP, or you must learn to set your FCP timeline to the same cocdec as your source files. All three of those operations are easily researched in the help system for FCP.

  • DKA790GX Platinum - What's the best card that will work with hybrid crossfire?

    Hi everyone. I know this board is a bit old now but I've set it up for my kids to play oldish games and it occurred to me that video cards from that era might be inexpensive these days. What's the best possible card to use with the on-board card for its hybrid crossfire? Would it be better to just get a separate standalone card? If so what's the best that will work with this board? I'm completely out of the loop these days on tech and have no idea what will even be compatible anymore.

    Good news! I resolved my graphics issues without buying a new card. It all came down to a little logic. It used to work just fine. The game it's installed off the same disc as before, and there us no noticeable change in the install media. The hardware has not changed unless there has been some sort of electrical damage I cannot see. I had however updated my drivers many times over the last few years, and always from the AMD website.
    I installed the latest MSI drivers for my onboard graphics and voila, it works!
    All graphical glitches are now gone, though it runs a but slower.
    I may still buy a new card. I'm favouring the HD4870x2 as the top of my motherboard's era or the slightly newer HD5770 which some reviews say is equivalent in performance. The latter uses the same GPU and shaders as the 6770 and is considerably cheaper.
    If I go with NVidia it seems the best card in my price range is the 440GT.
    Thanks, everyone, for all the advice!
    i'd say the 790GX chipset would run a saphire radeon HD5770 card fine i have 1 of them on a different maufactures board that uses the AMD 690GX chipset and i have put both my HD5770's in that with crossfire on and had no issues at all just to try it out!
    and the AMD 690GX is a lower more old chipset then the one your board has so i wouldnt see any issues with the board not accepting the HD 5770 cards at all!
    i like the saphire branded ones better as they run much cooler and quieter then a stock card!

  • What is the best record format to work with in Adobe Premiere CS5?

    I typically have been working with videos in MPEG2 but have recently stumbled upon a major problem. I am able to play the MPEG2 footage no problem with VLC, however as soon as I import the file into Premiere the audio plays out of sync with the video. The out of sync audio is not consitantly off by a certain number of frames but instead seems to vary in how well it matches up with the video so I'm not able to manually correct it by cutting and moving the audio around. I have tried re-importing the video file and rendering the timeline but nothing seems to solve it.
    We do a lot of broadcasting of events and have to give the footage to clients and so we need to know what format we should be recording in so that we don't have this problem occur again. We are recording via Aver Media from a Tricaster XD850 so we have the options of recording in: MPEG2, AVI, WMA, WMV and H.264. The feed that's being run into the Tricaster is from Sony NX5U camera's recording in 720p30.
    Thanks for your help on this, we'd really like to get this problem sorted out.

    For SD, I'd probably go with DV AVI.
    For HD, I'd go with a UT AVI.

  • What is the best conversion format to work with FCU ProX?

    I got a lot of old material from a client on Mpeg-2 (he converted it  from VHS tapes from his family). When I tried to import the media into the project. FCU Pro X did not recognize the file. Using Toast Titanium I converted it to MPEG-4 and was able to import it. The quality is not good though.
    Is that the best compression format to use or shall I try something else?
    What about importing a DVD into the project?
    VOB aren't recognized as well

    MPEG4 comes in a lot of different varieties. Generally speaking, it's not a format that FCPX is very happy with. You may or may not run into problems with it. (My recommendation to people who have such footage is is transcode ot to Pro Res.)
    Pro Res is an excellent editing codec. I won't say that it's the perfect codec for all situations but it's the one i use for virtually everything that needs editing. I notice that Tom Wolsky just responded to a similar question and recommended DVCPRO 50. It's an excellent format and one that I've used in the past; the equivalent length files are about 2X Pro Res. Try a short test and see what you prefer.

  • What Is The Best Setting To Use To Import Music?Please Help.

    Hi, All
    I have got an 80GB Apple Video iPod And I am still trying to figure out how to work it as I am new to using iPods.
    What is the best setting to use to import CD Music and Music from the Internet to iTunes?? as I would like to listen to the highest quality there is on iTunes and my 80GB Apple Video iPod.
    The settings are: ACC Encoder, AIFF Encoder, Apple Lossless Encoder, MP3 Encoder, WAV Encoder. If you have not got them to hand.
    Many Thanks For Reading This And Replying To It, Much Appreciated!!
    I Hope You All Have a VERY Merry New Year!!
    Kind Regards, Rocky Robin

    There really is no BEST setting. The "best" setting is the one that sounds the best to you.
    Having said that, you also asked what setting provides the highest quality audio. In that case, you need to use a lossless format, such as AIFF, WAV, or Apple Lossless. MP3 and AAC are both compressed formats, and will not provide as good of an audio quality as a lossless format.
    My personal preference would be Apple Lossless, but any of the lossless formats will produce an almost identical quality to the CD track.
    Keep in mind, the files will be quite large.

  • What is the best set up for video editing?

    What is the best computer? The best software? The best external storage? The best ram? 3D editing? Everything!!!!!!
    Running full HD and 720p at 60 fps videos. Clips ranging from a few seconds to 10-30 minutes.
    Cost isn't an issue.
    What is the best set up, not the most excessive. If it doesn't need to be there or it isn't greatly needed I would like to know. This is looking at the production aspects, not the camera and such. What is the best plug in for slow motion? Pros and Cons of the set up?
    I would greatly appriciate everyones input in this. Thank you so much.

    That is a hard question to answer.. Nothing is best for everyone... However if i am to generalize it I would put it this way.. If you want to cut everything from a short promos to hollywood pictures..
    A high end windows pc (only cause mac pro hasn't been updated in ages)
    Avid Media Composer with Nitrus DX
    Two monitors
    Broadcast monitor
    HD Deck
    pimping 5.1 speakers
    A good mixer
    You are looking at over 70,000 or 80,000, could even approach even more.. HD decks run atleast 15k.
    If price is not an issue then there you go....
    However this is not realistic for most people nor best solution by no means... I run a macbook pro with Avid (as primary) Final Cut 7, Final Cut X (for practice, didn't have to use it for a job yet), and Premiere (just in case)
    I am a final cut child who grew up on it and love it however everything I am doing in last few years is on AVID...
    Have a second monitor..
    I am very portable and rest of the gear I usually get where ever I work at.. I am looking into getting a good broadcast monitor connected with AJA thunderbolt..
    Like I said this is very open question, there is no (BEST) it all depends what you will be doing.. If you get AVID (which can do everything, however is cluncky as **** and counter intuitive) but you are only cutting wedding videos and short format stuff, it would be an overkill galore.. Just get FCP X in that case... Simple,easy, one app...
    Be more specific and you will get clearer answers..

  • What's the best set up with AppleTV and Mac Mini with 2TB external HD?

    Hi
    I have an Apple TV and 2TB external HD connected to my Mac Mini.
    I want to stream through my Mac Mini and I want all my media stored in my external HD.
    What's the best setting so that I sync only one way to my external HD the contents of my Apple TV? I don't want anything except unwatched media on my Apple TV.
    I'm fairly new to Mac world and Apple TV, as far as I read iTunes and Apple TV sync both ways,how do I achieve a one way sync to my Mac Mini with external HD?
    Many thanks

    Ok that makes it clear, sorry I used wrong terminology,it should have been transfer rather than sync.
    You don't want to stop transfers of purchased content. See This User Tip
    While on the subject a friend of mine told me that the streaming videos doesn't work well,it kinda freezes and stops but the music stream is fine. Is that true or his set up is wrong?
    It's not necessarily his configuration set up that's wrong, it's probably that he has a poor network by virtue of too great a distance or interference from other networks or other household equipment.

  • What's the best setting for a best shades quality?

    Hi!
    I would like to know what are the best codec and the best setting for a video with 1920x1080 of resolution.
    I've tried them all but nothing because the shades...are not shades.
    I want a video that is like a uncompressed video but lighter. Same quality, same shades.
    I've tried with Canopus Lossless but the video is darker and huge (7 min for >17 gb),
    then with Canopus HQ, same quality but a little bit lighter (6 gb),
    I've tried with all of codecs and settings but I haven't found what I want.
    Who can help me for the best settings for the best shades?
    Thanks so much.
    P.S: Sorry for my english!

    I used the PNG codec but the video is too big.
    New Question:  I've tried to encode the video with Canopus HQ but to 720p and now the video is more lighter, I wanted to upload it on YouTube but is not compatible with the standards.
    If I encode this video by changeing the codec to Microsoft Avi uncompressed, can I have the same quality and the same weight?

  • What is the best setting for export movie in widescreen format?

    Please tell me what is the best setting for exporting movie in Widescreen format?

    Like in After effect we use "NTSC D1 Widescreen Square Pixel".,
    Carefully examine the codec and pixel dimensions of that output file. That's certainly easy for an experienced VFX person like yourself.
    Then carefully look over the presets in FCP to find the same attibutes. You can also use the online help system for FCP and search for "D1"
    However, your question remains unanswerable because we don't know how you're getting to the monitor. What are you playing back you AE sequences on that displays them on your LCD? You're assuming we know what you're doing and, I assure you, we do not.

  • What is the best set hard drive set up on an iMac for video editing?

    what is the best set hard drive set up on an iMac for video editing? i only have one internal 2tb hard drive.

    CIANCIO.mov wrote:
    so is it best to edit directly off your LaCie fire wire drive, or off the internal HD and store on the external?
    The second.
    Which one is faster to edit with?
    The internal will operate  faster but editing uses both the Final Cut Application (on the internal), and the external which is used to store and access the video that you have shot and on which is stored the Capture Caches, and which also stores and accesses the various other caches such as Video Render, Waveform etc.
    Does a faster hard drive decrease rendering time?
    I think it must, but I have never timed it.
    whats Faster, having another internal drive or a thunderbolt or firewire 800 external drive?
    I think that a second internal drive would be faster than an external Firewire drive. However, a Thunderbolt drive is said to be very fast, but I do not know whether it would be faster than a conventional internal drive. This question would best be asked of the Final Cut Discussion Groups because thay might have experience.
    i would love some specs, and input on different drive setups for an imac with a single 2TB Hard dirve.
    Again, the discussion groups would be the best place to answer this.
    enyone. thanks,
    Rendering long sections of video in the Final Cut software does take a long time, especially when it is imported from another source, such as a .mov, and when something simple like a transition is inserted or even moved or altered, or a filter is applied, rendering must be carried out in that area to see the effect properly. So you are on the right lines in thinking about how to speed it up.

  • What is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail?

    Hi All, I am a recent convert to Mac from a PC and I am on a sharp learning curve. At present I am trying to use mail on Leapord. I have a Googlemail account which I have tried linking to Apple mail but I seem to get the same issue many others have with send e-mails. What is more, googlmail's All Mail facility is doing my nut in at the moment.
    Therefore I was wondering what is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail? I only have a Mackbook and an i-pod nano so subscribing to mobile me at £58/yr just to get the @mac.com account (which I assume would be perfect) seems a little extreme for me.
    Are their any other account that work correctly and don't have this All Mail option.
    Thanking you in advance.

    Hi,
    I have 2 issues.
    1) I have mail 3.6 and when I set up the mail account via IMAP and STMP I recieve mails ok, but I can not send them. If I do I get the following window pop up.
    "can not send message using smtp.googlemail.com server" it tells me my address was rejected by the server.
    2) I have 2500 e-mails in my All Mails folder on googlemail. Nearly all of these I delete from my inbox years ago (my bad mailbox management). Google seems to store all my mails. I want to delete these permentaly as they also get downloaded into Apple Mail.
    Hope you can help.

  • What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    Looking for the best option here. What is the best external battery to use with a macbook pro retina?

    You should check your date of purchase against the manufacturer's warranty
    or guaranty since some of those better brands have some recourse should
    they fail within a specified time period. A good reason to save dated receipts.
    Since solid-state USB drives probably don't (all) use a wear-leveling software
    to equally utilize their recordable space evenly, it is possible that some of these
    may exhibit a failure in some sector areas due to excessive over-writing. If the
    ones you use do not have such a technology or an undercounted total capacity
    with a means to automatically write in other sections, you may have to consider
    manually using a disk utility to zero-overwrite and reformat them occasionally.
    Even so, that may only help a marginal flash or thumb drive work a little longer.
    Should a camera memory card fail you still may be able to attempt with margin of
    success, to +recover image files+ from it. re: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
    The standard default format they ship with works well for most file types; so if
    you aren't moving OS X or Mac app specific files around on a USB flash drive,
    the original format should be fine. Oh, you can use Disk Utility to attempt to do
    a repair; but in some cases you may have to reformat them, etc.
    {Some of the flash drive warranties or guarantees may vary from between regions;
    so if you have one with a '5 Year' guarantee in the US, other rules may apply in EU,
    or when you seek to replace an item under warranty outside of where it was bought.}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone?

    What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone that will print both text and photos?  Also, is the separate keyboard available for the IPad Air, yet?

    Best is relative. Different people like different things. I have an epson that I like. I'd look through a site like Best Buy and compare reviews for Air Print enabled printers.
    as to the keyboard, I know Zagg has one and I think there are other manufacturers that have keyboards for the Air. As far as I know, pretty much any bluetooth keyboard will work, but if you want a case then you'd need to get a specific one.

    I have a pioneer vsx-910-k and airport express.I have a wireless network at home. What's the best arquiecture/config to do with this hardware?

    I would suggest that you connect the Pioneer to the AirPort Express Base Station using an optical digital audio cable that has a TOSlink connector on one end and a 3.5 mm optical connector (Mini Plug) on the other. You can then connect the Mini Plug end into the AirPort's audio port and the TOSlink end into one of the Pioneer's optical digital audio ports.
