What setting is the best for exporting Final Cut Express HD

I am new to final cut express HD. I have worked with iMovie and it was very easy to work with and exporting the movie was not too difficult.
I am curious as to what setting should I set to to export a movie file from final cut express HD. I've exported a short quicktime movie clip but it doesn't look as sharp. Could someone help me.

For DVD, export as Quicktime Movie NOT Quicktime Conversion.
You can drop the resulting QT file into iDVD or into Compressor if you are using DVD Studio Pro.
If you have chapter markers, make sure to select Chapter Markers in the export submenu.
Bear in mind that iDVD has a limitation of two hours; even if your movie is exactly two hours you will run into probs cause iDVD counts its menus, themes etc as part of that total running time.

With SO MUCH photo editing software available, what would be the best for me if I am a digital camera newby? I do not need Photoshop CC! I do not want to spend $700 bucks! My camera is a Nikon D90. Please help.

Where did you come up with the $700 figure?
Photography plan - $9.99/month or $119/year - Creative Cloud Photography plan : Adobe Creative Cloud
Single App - $19.99/month
Complete plan - $49.99/month or $599/yr - Creative Cloud free trial & plans : Adobe Creative Cloud
Ah - If you wish to cancel early yeah $74.99 which would total for the year at $899.88. But that final total would be if you canceled in the 12th month but if you plan on keeping it that long might as well go for the annual contract. Then cancel at the end of the term limit if you need to.
If you are not sure what to get, Either Elements as was suggested by Peru Bob or the photography plan.

What should be the procedure for export parameter in CATT

Hello Everybody,
I am working with CATT, and the transactions are ME21N and MIGO.
when i am executing the transaction ME21N i will get the Pur Ord Noin the message, and i would like to export Pur Ord No to the transaction MIGO as thr is one field named Purch.ord no in Migo.
what should be the Procedure for exporting a parameter?
Thanks,
Regards Afroz

Hello Afroz,
If you are using eCATT then following is the procedure of capturing messages in the two recording methods - TCD & SAPGUI.
=> TCD Recording Mode:
In TCD recording mode, after dobleclicking on Interface name from the TCD command in the editor on left side, just before the MSG folder DYNPRO folder will appear on right side.
-This DYNRPO folder contains the screen sequences contain the screen occurred during recording time. The last Dynpro of this folder contains the messages occurred during recording.
-Select this last folder & click on Simulate Screen icon of the same Interface editor. It will redirect to the screen where the message values exist. There select the Purchase Order Number and click on Read Field Value icon. Give the name of Export Variable.
The export variable will contain the value of the purchase order number, which can be passed to MIGO.
=> SAPGUI Recording Mode:
In the SAPGUI recording mode, the screen on which the message appeared will be used to capture the variable name, which is Purchase Order Number in this case.
If the Purchase Order Number is second variable of the message displayed(e.g. Purchase Number 2122323 Is Created)
then use the following code -
e.g.
MESSAGE ( MSG_1 ).
SAPGUI ( ME21N_4001_STEP_5 ).
ENDMESSAGE ( E_MSG_1 ).
Assing the value from the message to the export
parameter
P_EC_PurOrdNo = E_MSG_1-[1]-MSGV2.
There are total four MSGV1-MSGV4 variables. Dobule click on MSG_1 of the MESSAGE statement above. Putting the value in the export variable from the right message variable will give the purchase order number.This can be passed as MIGO.
Regards

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

Exporting Final Cut Express Documents

Yes...I was wondering is there any way to export a final cut express document (movie) to an external device (such as a camcorder via firewire), other than just burning it to a DVD (through IDVD or such) for viewing?
-Thanks

Yes, you can either use Print to Video or just play the timeline while a camera is connected via FW. Just make sure View is set to direct video out to FW.

Can you export FInal Cut express project to IDVD?

I am currently using IMOVIE and IDVD. I am considering purchasing Final Cut Express. Someone told me that you cannot export a completed Final Cut Express File to IDVD. Is this correct. Would I have to invest in DVD Studio?
Thanks,
Benjamin

Completely untrue. Some people seem to have issues
with chapter markers not importing correctly on
occasions, but otherwise it works fine
Can anyone comment on this problem and the solution? I just upgraded to FCX HD and iDVD 5.0, and I can no longer put chapters in my movies. Worked just fine under FCX 2.0 and iDVD 4.
Thanks,
-dan

Does the projects created in Final Cut Express transfer over to the new Final Cut Pro software?

Does the video projects created in Final Cut Express transfer over to the new Final Cut Pro software?

You want to go from FCE to FCP-X?
You would need to do so in multiple steps.
1) You would need to be working in a very late version of FCE.
2) Open the FCE project in FCP-7.
3) In FCP-7, export an XML of the sequence you wish to get to FCP-X.
4) Purchase the software 7toX
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/7toX/
5) Import the XML into 7toX, export the FCP-X friendly file
6) Import the converted XML into FCP-X
7) Re-link all you media
It should be noted that when you use XML, not all the things you have done in your original sequence will make it through the final translation. There is more information about this at the 7toX page linked above.

How can I find serial number for upgraded Final Cut Express?

On my old G4 laptop, I had upgraded from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Express HD. Just bought a Mac Mini and installed FCE HD, but it's asking me for the serial number from the original Final Cut Express from which I upgraded. Duh. Of course I don't have that any more.
Does anyone know if this might still be found on my hard drive somewhere? Thanks.

Probably not. But just in case, fire up FCE on your old G4 laptop, then do +About Final Cut Express+ and look at the serial number below your name. It's probably the serial number of your FCE-HD Upgrade but there's an off chance it may be your original serial number.
Also, if you sold or gave away your original Full version of FCE, and someone else has installed it on their Mac, you are no longer properly licensed on your current system. You have to keep the original, Full version in order to be licensed to use the Upgrade. That's why the Upgrade asks for both serial numbers.
One other thing, only FCE4 is supported on Show Leopard (assuming your MacMini is new, it will have Snow Leopard on it.)

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.

What set up is best for my magazine

I am the Art Director of an Australin music magazine.
My team currently has three CS4 licenses and we wish to publish our magazine via a single app on a weekly basis.
What is the best set up and will how will the new Adome DPS Pro effect us?
3x cloud subscriptions and one DPS Pro?
cost?
thanks

Thanks Neil
Also with a breaking news compoenent to our brand once the issue is designed ready to be uploaded/submitted roughly how long until it goes live within the app? Being a weekly publication urgency is a primary factor in our choice.
thanks

What is the best version of Final Cut Studio

I'm not a pro but not an amateur video maker so I want to upgrade from FCE 4. I focus on action sports. The question I have is whats the best version of FCS? Thanks!

The current version. (Your profile says you're running Snow Leopard. You would want the current version of FCS, not an earlier version.)
What do you want to do that FCE4 seems not to be able to do?
What specific model Macbook do you have? Models with integrated Intel graphics processors are not supported for FCS.

What monitor is the best for gauging what the printed document will look like?

I am working on a 300+ page book that contains a lot of photos that I have converted from color to grayscale in photoshop. I am using a laptop computer and I cannot judge the quality of the photos on this laptop monitor. What is the best monitor for gauging what the finished product will look like? It is a hardcover book that will be offset printed. I do not know if this particular printer uses computer-to-plate technology or if it is "old style." Thanks!

If you are talking about judging the tonality of the grayscale images there are 2 color profiles that affect the display of a grayscale image. The monitor's profile-- the profile that is created when the monitor is calibrated and describes your monitor's display. And the gray profile that is assigned to the image, if no gray profile is assigned Photoshop's working gray profile is used. By default it is 20% Dot Gain. The accuracy of your grayscale image display depends on how accurate your monitor profile is and the accuracy of the gray profile. You can choose the default 20% Dot Gain but it might not be the press profile.

What are the steps for buying Final Cut Pro X and downloading a full version.i have a license certificate,but i cant be able to license the trial version

How do i download a full version of Final Cut Pro.I have the license agreement with the serial numbers.but now i am unable to license the trial.What needs to be done here.I was sent the license agreement by our Head Office

Do you refer to Final Cut Pro as part of The Final Cut Studio bundle?
Or FCP X?
The former has serial numbers, the later is a direct purchase from the Apple App Store and no serial number is required.

Downscaling a movie from 1080 to 720 the best way in Final Cut Pro?

Which way is best to achieve the best quality in this procedure? I was hoping to be able to do this using the Final Cut Pro application, hopefully not the compressor or any other application if possible.

Does hardware affect quality that much?
Yes, it does.
Is it not a matter of converting 0 and 1 anyway?
Yes, but some things do this better than others. Hardware is best...then the Terranex...then the other hardware. Then After Effects which does this VERY well. FCP is low on that list. Putting the 1s and 0s in the right GOOD order. I'm no engineer, so I can't say specifically what it happening. I can say what my experience has shown.
I think Terranex is about 60K$?
You don't buy one. You take your tape to a post facility that has one and pay them to do it. Or you buy a capture card. Yes, the Mini will upconvert DV to HD, and it will do a decent job. THe Kona card does it better, but the Matrox isn't too far behind. I have both the MXO2 and the MXO2 mini..plus I have used the Kona 3. The Kona is slightly better, but you can't go wrong with the MIni. Real time conversion as you capture, plus the ability to monitor out to an HDTV...bonus!

How do I deactivate the serial for my Final Cut Pro?

Hello, I have decided to sell my Mac Book Pro and am wondering how to deactivate the serial number for it. I have the serial for my version of fcp 6.0 on two computers already, I would like to be able to put the serials I purchased onto one of my own computers sometime in the future. I have already deactivated and uninstalled all of my Adobe products, but it is not obvious in FCP how this is done. This same problem exists for DVD Studio Pro... can anyone help?

Great minds think alike!
You never know how much other personal info resides on a computer, keychains, passswords, internet histories and caches, address books, etc, etc.
Put in the install disc, boot from it, erase the hard drive, do the install from however many discs it takes, and when they tell you to restart your computer to finish the install process, just shut it down (no restart.)
The buyer will boot it and get all the registration info etc, just like it was a new machine right from the factory. (Thanks to Brian Connor for that install tip.)
