Yes, Compressor adds several codecs, which can also be used in FCE (decoding and encoding using QuickTime Conversion) and in QuickTime player. Most notably these are MPEG-2 and ProRes. The latter is an editing-friendly Intraframe-Codec useful for preprocessing stuff for importing clips to FCE, particularly if it has a different framerate from the FCE project.
I'm also still using FCE 3.5(*) and the "Export using Compressor" menu option remains grayed out, which is a pity, but the new codecs can still be used. I mostly use it to make stuff for DVDs, using my ancient and cumbersome iDVD.
(*) It really works on Lion, provided you have installed it on a previous Mac OS release and then migrated or upgraded to Lion: the installer is a PowerPC program, but the installed program is Universal and works fine and very stable. If you already have Lion, and no older (Snow) Leopard machine, it's going to be more of a challenge, since the Lion kernel no longer supports PowerPC binaries, so Rosetta won't work.

Do cameras that work with Imovie also work with Final cut pro x?

I have a Sony Bloggie (MHS-PM5) that is compatible with Imovie, will it also work with Final Cut Pro X.

It does work!

It will work just fine. I would max out the RAM

Will adobe after affects work with final cut pro x

Will adobe after affects work with final cut pro x?

You can't work with the files natively, if that's what you mean - you can't drop a .aep file into FCP X, or vice-versa. You can do this to some extent using Premiere Pro and After Effects, but only if you get them together in the Production Premium collection.
Like Tom said, though, you can prep stuff in either direction and work with both applications without a problem.

Will Canon Vixia HF20 work with Final Cut Pro 5?

Hello,
Just bought a new Canon vixia HF20, and heard that it doesn't work with Final Cut Pro 5, only six. Is this true?
Also? Whats the first step in importing from this camera if it does work?

iMovie saves the footage inside its project file.
Right click the icon, choose "Show Package Contents".
Open the Contents folder -the footage is in the Media subfolder.
Can you bring it into FCP?
Dunno. Give it a try.
If that does not work iMovie has various export options.

What is the best dvd burning program with a nice menu like idvd that works with Final cut pro

What is the best dvd burning program with a nice menu like idvd that works with Final cut pro, I am wanting to burn mainly wedding dvds but also sports and other things we used to use idvd but then upgraded our computers and now we dont have it. idvd was the only thing i could find that worked.
Thanks

There is no real substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

How well does Compressor 4 work with Final Cut 6?

The short answer is that there is no interoperability between them. Of course, you can certainly export a QT movie from FCP and bring it into C4.
Honestly, I'm not sure it's worth it for someone already has C3. There is very little that C4 can do that C3 cannot. The major differences are that C4 has certain presets like MPEG 4 h.264 and 1080 Apple TV; it can also create simple Blu Rays and DVDs. Qmaster is integrated, but I'm not sure whether that is a gain.

How do i get a copy of IDVD and will it work with final cut pro x.

I have a new powerbook. I've purchased final cut pro x because express is no longer available. My Mac didn't come with iDVD and I can't find a suitable dvd authoring tool. Please... some suggestions for DVD authoring or how to get a copy of iDVD and will it even work with FCPx.

Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes for iDVD.)

If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Why doesn't the Keyword search work with Final Cut Pro X

Most of my images have keywords. I will frequently search these keywords. However, I find in some cases Final Cut Pro will simply not find some words. The words are indeed there, Final Cut Pro just cannot find them.

Details, please.
What you find depends on where and how you search.
If you have a library selected, any search will be in that library; if you have a keyword collection that is where the search will be done, and so on.

Does Compressor 4 work with final cut express 3.5?

I have never used Compressor before.
I am currently using Final Cut 3.5 and too deep into various projects to even THINK about moving to FInal Cut X at this point and sacrificing my productivity while I learn it.
But I think I need to learn Compressor for a particular job or two and was wondering if the latest version works with the older FCE.
Thanks
I am running 10.6.8 on a brand new 27" 3.1 Ghz Intel Core i5 with 4 GB of memory.

Will this camcorder work with Final cut express

I received a Samsung HMX-W300 as a gift and was wondering if it's Mac compatible and would be able to transfer the files to Final cut or even imovie. Does anyone also know if the format on this is AVCHD?

AVCHD can shoot either Progressive or Interlaced footage.
Progressive means one full frame at a time is captured, 25 for PAL or 30 for NTSC.
Interlaced means two fields to make one frame, 50 fields for PAL or 60 for NTSC.
Lines 1,3,5,7,9 etc. scan first then 2,4,6,8,10 etc. hence interlaced.
You can search the Web for more details, the qbove is an overview.

The Panasonic HDC-HS700, will it work with Final Cut Pro on an Intel Mac?

Anyone have any experience with this one, the new hard drive camera from Panasonic? It seems like a pretty nice camera that I might have to use for an upcoming project, will the 60p AVCHD files be readable in FCP? I have version 6.0.6, and can update if needed. Straight info on this is hard to come by on the internet, so any answers/experience? This would be a working camera that I would be looking for the workflow to be smooth with. Thanks!

Seems to me that the software on an apple system has not caught up to where it could be for this camera, unless i'm mistaken.
Nor Adobe, nor Avid. Nor any makers of DVD players, BluRay, HD DVD. Nor broadcasters who air shows. Nor web formats.
60p isn't a format that is mastered either. Not to tape, not broadcast over the air, not a format you encode to BluRay or regualr DVD...not a web format. So why you'd shoot a format that you can't even deliver...seems pointless. 1080 is either 23.98fps, or 29.97fps. It is 720p that is 59.94fps...but that is used rarely. But that is the only 60 frame format that has output and airable options.

My External Hard Drive Won't Work With Final Cut Pro

Hi everyone! I occasionally use my external HDD for Fianl Cut projects, but only when I'm done editing it. While I'm editing the project, I keep it on my SSD. My external HDD has 3 partitions, one for storage, one formatted for windows storage, and the last one is a Mountain Lion Recovery. When I plug in my external HDD and start FCPX, only the recovery partition shows up.. Any ideas? My pimary hard drive storage with the projects is case sensitive, but the recovery is not.. Thanks!
Btw, I blurred the video and took out the names to protect privacy. As you can see, my internal SSD and one partition on my external show up, but the "1TB HDD" partition does not.

I connect my bus-powered HDs (more than one) to the iMac all the time without any problems. I have found, though, that for me the FireWire enclosures work much better (faster and more stable) than the USB2 ones. I have had the USB2 drives freeze my computer once or twice when I connected the HD, but nothing like that has ever happened with the FireWire connections. (I switched the same disk from USB to a FireWire enclosure, so all other elements were kept constant in my experiments.)
One of my HD is in a MacAlly 2.5" enclosure that offers both FireWire and USB2. The other one is in some generic enclosure with only USB2. Both are bus-powered and both work fine.
