Will Final Cut work with 13 1TB drives daisy chained togerher

Will Final Cut work with 13 (1TB) Firewire 800 drives daisy chained (78 feet) together? Has any one done this? If so were there any problems?

Thanks for your advice guys.
I did run into problems, had to start computer with only my pre-existing SATA and FireWire 800 drives (connected to the back of my Mac), then I made sure the 14 FireWire 800 drives were turned off, attached the FireWire 800 cable to the front of my Mac, turned on the drives from closest to furthest in the drive chain (6'cables between each drive) and all of the drives came up on the desktop.
When I opened the FCP project that had media associated with the 14 drives I got the spinning wheel of death. After rebooting and restarting the gang of 14 I thought I would try to open one of the drives on the desktop, again the spinning wheel of death. Will move to plan B - 9" cables, plan C is installing the drives into two drive towers.

  • Final Cut working with motion

    I am used to working with final cut express and livetype where I would do the following:
    - edit my videos
    -export to livetype
    -create edit my animations / text over video
    -import livetype files to my final cut project for final editing
    I have just purchased final cut pro x and Motion 5 and cant understand how to acheive the same sort of workflow. I want to be able to edit my videos together in final cut and then take that into Motion to add my animations etc over the top. Is there no easy way of doing this? i.e can I export final cut project to motion or open the 2 together?
    In Livetype it used to export final cut markers which was essential to adding animations at the right points in my edit?
    Thanks

    Not sure why you're responding to me BenG (loved your movies by BTW, woof), but since you have responded to me I would agree ripple training is grand.  Whether it's a more powerful workflow is certainly subjective.  If someone is intimately familiar with LiveType, it's beautifully archaic GUI, and it's roundtrip features (not offered in Motion 5) then in practice for specific types of graphic compositing, LT is arguably a more powerful workflow.  It all depends on your goals and your point-of-view.

  • Does final cut work with the new lion?

    I want to buy the new final cut... i bought logic pro for my lion and had some problems, but fixed it, now i just want to know if anybody had problems with Lion and the new final cut?
    Silas

    Well, I am running FCP X on Lion since it was released without any problems...
    I can only wholeheartedly agree with Andy... “FCP X is truly a ground-braking application”.
    Since I changed from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro X...
    I highly enjoyed the challenge to learn something new...
    After a few days everything was familiar again, and I never looked back...
    This software is just absolutely amazing...
    In combination with Motion 5, this package is nearly unbelievable...

  • Will final cut express work with a sony DCR-SR40

    I got a sony DCR-SR40 camcorder for christmas an imovie won't work with it - will final cut express do the job?

    First of all, welcome to the forum.
    That camcorder uses a USB interface, correct? FCP and
    iMovie can only import via FW. For hard drive
    camcorders, you must import the footage like you
    would files from an external HD. Then you can work
    with the files in FCP or iMovie.
    Good luck and happy New Year.
    This Camera supports Mpeg -2 files I have had no end of problems importing this into I movie. Bought the software recomended by Sony (Capty MPEG ..whatever) cost £65 and is rubbish, so bought the Quicktime MPEG 2 codec plugin for £15, got the picture not the sound. What plug in do I need for the Audio, or should I ditch the camera and go for a Firewire version.

  • Will Final Cut Express 2.0.3 work with Tiger 10.4.4

    Will Final Cut Express 2.0.3 work with Tiger 10.4.4

    We have it running on our iMac G5s. Although it runs reasonably well, there are some teething problems with it. One of them is we cannot capture from a camcorder using timecodes because it just crashes when we try and do that, so we can only capture using the "DV Convertor" mode. Not unreasonable, but slightly annoying.
    We also have the problem that, when we brought some new iMac G5s recently with the iSight built in, it wouldn't work at all because it didn't seem to realise that a PCI-Express graphics card was actually a graphics card at all, and it kept demanding we install an AGP one, which was a bit stupid.
    Apart from that, it's definitely useable. No crashes or anything like that. And we use it daily.

  • Will final cut express work with os maverick

    I am running mountain lion and FCE. will final cut express work with mavericks.?

    A follow-up to my previous post.  FCE 4.0.1 is working fine with Mavericks on the computer at my church (we use it to video-tape sermons and masses for YouTube). 
    A few weeks ago, I purchased a copy of FCE 4.0 from Amazon (one of only two left).  It would NOT work with Mavericks, and there was no upgrade available on the App Store (the only source of software upgrades with Mavericks).  So, I installed FCE on another iMac running Lion.  It installed just fine, and when I went to "Check for New Software" in "the apple", it found the upgrade to 4.0.1, installed it, I copied it to a blank DVD, and installed that on my iMac running Mavericks.  It is working fine.  (HINT TO APPLE: Can we please go back to the simple "Check for Software Updates" instead of the App Store?  Ever since Steve Jobs died everything Apple has become more complicated, not intuitively simple as he made it.)

    me too version 10.8. It would have been nice to know yosemite was going to crap out my primary video editing software! I use this for my video editing for my business video production and it would have been nice to know ahead of time or here's a crazy idea how about the software developers who are making millions off final cut pro sales release a fix BEFORE apple roles out yosemite for free. I don't have time to chase down every blog in the world to see issues etc. The reason I bought a mac is I just need it to work so I can work on my business.

  • Will Final Cut Express work on a Macbook Core Duo

    I have a 2006 Macbook 2ghz Core Duo with 2gig of Ram. Will Final Cut Express work on this? Will the integrated graphics card affect performance?

    hey there 12frets,
    FCE should run w/out major probs. you should even be able to run a 2nd display up to 23", which would be very handy as the Canvass(playback) window will be rather small on a 13" display.
    FCE System Requirements
    A Mac computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, Intel Core 2 Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    For AVCHD: A Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of RAM or more
    An AGP or PCI Express graphics card compatible with Quartz Extreme; or an Intel GMA integrated graphics processor in a MacBook or Mac mini computer
    Some FxPlug filters are not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors.
    A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    A DVD drive for installation
    Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later
    QuickTime 7.2 or later
    500MB of disk space to install Final Cut Express and LiveType
    Additional 500MB to install LiveType content
    good luck.

  • If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work?

    If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work? My current version of Final Cut Pro is 6.0.6. Thanks.

    Apple is not telling you the Complete story about Lion.
    The installer for FCP 6 is Power PC code/ IBM CPU code, which Lion does not support.
    FCP 6 is NOT Power PC code, it will run on Lion and Mountain Lion, as I have read on many posts.
    The solution??
    Solution condition where FCP 6 installed and upgrading OS to Lion
    Do nothing, its already running OK
    Solution condition where FCP 6 not installed and OS Lion installed.
    Connect a firewire drive to your MAC and install the old OS on it (eg snow leopard) ,
    Reboot to that OS
    Install FCP 6
    Reboot to your new OS   (EG Lion)
    Run FCP 6

  • Will Final Cut Pro 4.5 still work if I upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5.4?

    Will Final Cut Pro 4.5 still work if I upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5.4?

    I'm with Jon on this one. I know someone who uses FCP 5.0 on a MacBook Pro, he has all sorts of wierd issues including:
    Projects he has created throwing up an error message "Unreadable on this machine" when re-opened.
    Projects losing and refusing to connect to render files.
    Dissolves simply not working -this is not to do with lack of handles, it just happens.
    LiveType and FCP's own title generator files not automatically compositing.
    Lots of kernel panics and unexpected quits.
    These might not happen all the time, but always crop up at the worst possible moment.
    I can move his project files and media to my setup and everything works.

  • Will final cut pro X speed up if i upgrade my ram and don't upgrade my processor?  iMac 2.9 GHz i5 with 8 GB ram

    will final cut pro X speed up if i upgrade my ram and don't upgrade my processor?  iMac 2.9 GHz i5 with 8 GB ram

    the most improving effect on 'speed' is distributed media:
    System/App, Projects, Events, Cache, backups on diff. platters. Esp. when using compounds/multicams, each 'angle' on its own drive...
    To improve 'rendering' = export speed, the graphic card is the limiting factor.
    On my slow system, 8GB was nice, 16GBs made it more 'snappier' ...

  • Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Will Time Machine work with an external hard drive connected (via usb) to Airport Extreme?

    Sorry, but this article is about 4 years old, and was printed based on preliminary information at the time.
    The bottom line here is that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
    If it works for you, great.
    You might want to review the Apple Support documents below, which are far more recent than the article you reference:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
    It is supported.....
    This is NOT correct. Please do not post false information on the forums.
