With all the hysteria behind Final Cut X do you feel that Logic will inherently become Garageband?
There is a funny video from one of the companies thaqt produce instructional videos for Logic, etc and the guys states he has a pre release version of the new Logic.It was and is a hoax video released around April fools time but the video has Logic sporting a GUI with woodgrain sides, crazy easy preset.. honestly it was hysterical when i saw it. That was then... now with Final Cut X looking more like iMovie versus Final Cut Pro 7 I'm wondering if we can expect the same type of treatment to our beloved DAW of choice? Especially since the market is saturated with DAW all using the "PRO" tag. Your thoughts and please be kind and lets have an intelligent discussion so this doesn't get banned or removed.
Thanks.

man if Logic was an iLife app that would be sweet. <--- SARCASM
sorry everyone,
FPand what perspective is that?
tell me what perspective i should have? i'd like to know.
i didn't say i had a problem at the moment. i was just summing up the last couple weeks or so, and that is enough to make me curious about what else is out there, and how well it would fit into my workflow. really all i have ever messed with is Logic. so with that said, and all the "aparent" issues that are legit. it makes wonder if something else such as Nuendo would really kick some ***. i am waaaaaaaay out of pocket for macs and logic. i guess i will never know if others are better or not. doesn't matter.
it is crazy how i thought this was a forum for technical issues. thanks for confirming that. whew. i thought i was somewhere else. -
when i use the apple tv it puts my computer to sleep. the last time this happened i lost microsoft word with all the documents. i'm asked to relaunch, but that step fails. i'm frantic! can anyone help me see my documents again? this also prevents me from reading attachments in my mail, since they are frequently launched in word.
There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

I am using final cut express 4. It seems that any clip over a certain length, say 5 min, does not fully transfer! All shorter clips are perfectly fine. Is there some reason why longer clips are not fully transferred? (a half blue circle shows up on the transfer list, indicating that the clip was not fully transferred. When I check in the capture scratch folder, sure enough the whole clip is not there!
Is there some glitch in final cut express that only allows short clips to be transferred in full?Thanks for the reply. I'll try to answer all the questions (I am a relative novice). Your help is appreciated.
By the way, the other reply I received suggested the following:
In Final Cut Express>System Settings>Scratch Discs make sure the Limit Capture/Export File Segement Size To: is not checked.
I did this and it was already unchecked. So this is not the answer...
The strange thing is, I have been logging and transferring with FCE for 2 yrs without any problems at all with shorter clips, but have come up against the problem with long clips (over 5 or so min) the whole time. I got around it by simply making sure I stopped recording after less than 5 min while shooting footage. OR if I accidentally got a long clip, I import into imovie and then import into FCE. Not very streamline and I worry about compressions altering quality!
I am now trying to import a 20 min and a 17 min clip and it only transfers around 3 minutes of each, I have re-tried several times and it happens repeatedly. The blue circle in the transfer list shows up as a half blue circle instead of full. Clip cuts off after 3 or so minutes.

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help. Tks.
Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing! -
I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro X. There are two separate clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening - any thoughts/help?
The two HD clips were purchased from itunes (MPEG - 4) and converted to .mov for use in Final Cut Pro. Project properties - 720p HD 1280x720 (60p)
Is this enough information? -
how do i engage my 8 core mac pro to use all it's cores when using final cut pro and other applications that need processing power? at the moment they seem to be idle...
First, did you use Setup or Migration Assistant? That can happen when coming from a PowerMac or sometimes even from another (Intel) Mac.
Second, wait for the next version of Final Cut due very soon to ship (may have to wait for the ".1" of course to clean up any early issues.
Final Cut Pro - Wikipedia
There are a few apps that are better. I think you can run multiple instances of Handbrake for one.
I've read about and wanted to try PowerDirector 9 (Windows)

My problem: The Apple Mac Store is re-downloading and reinstalling the update called "Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content" literally everyday. I have a Mac Pro with Mavericks and Final Cut Pro X 10.1 installed. It seems to complete the update to the best of my knowledge. It shows it to be Final Cut Pro X Supplemental Content 1.0. Is there a later version (a 2.0?)? It seems it started when Mavericks updated. Anyone else have this issue or know a solution to get it to update once and for all?
hahah yeah i quit torrenting i have nothing but legit apps now.
hope apple heard that!!!!
your post fixed my issue
but it did take more than deleting torrented apps, once your run a program with a MASReciept with someone elses Apple ID. that other ID is saved in all apps you got off of app store.
You have to delete all apps that contain the MASReciept (the terminal command tells you which ones) then quit appstore then reboot download all apps again.
it taught me to just buy my apps.. -
A Must Read for all current and future Final Cut Pro X users
Take a breath people, as this article states, Final Cut Pro X IS NOT an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 7, it is an entirely new program. Much like Final Cut Pro 1 was the start of a new revolution in NLE video editing, Final Cut Pro X is the beginning of a new revolution. Anyone that has a clue of what they are doing or talking about when it comes to professional workflows knows you can't expect to switch to a new product and a new workflow from day 1. There is an evolutionary process to this, just like there was when the first Final Cut Studio came out, and then version 2 and then version 3 or any new version of OS X for that matter. It will take time for third-party developers to catch up just as it did with every other major release. In the meantime, you don't change a major piece of your workflow that your business or jobs depend on until that major piece has been out, tested and guarunteed to work for YOUR workflow, PERIOD! If you've purchased final cut pro X already, take this time to start learning a new way of looking at editing, a new way of working while the software catches up to the standards and features that every professional desires. If you havn't purchased it yet, either do so knowing what your getting right now, or simply wait for the evolutionary process to run its coarse.
This is the way the world of software works people, anyone that doesn't understand this, frankly, doesn't have a clue.
http://library.creativecow.net/adcock_gary/FCPX/1Original post: "Anyone that has a clue of what they are doing or talking about when it comes to professional workflows knows you can't expect to switch to a new product and a new workflow from day 1."
Even this shows ignorance of the professional marketplace. The fundamental workflow of the professional editor hasn't changed in 80+ years: The shots get delivered to the Editor, the Editor edits the shots and delivers the results. While I can see how editing software can change the way this fundamental workflow is accomplished, it will not change the fundamental workflow of movie making or programme itself. And therein lies the massive problem with FCPX! However Apple decides to redefine the workflow of how the professional editor edits, it must also provide the basic tools which allow the Editor to take delivery of the shots and make delivery to the other personnel involved in making the film. In a professional environment there are others with whom you must collaborate, when was the last time you saw film or TV credits where only one person was listed? Apple has decided NOT to incorporate in FCPX the fundamental tools which allow for the accepting and delivery of materials within the professional environment using internationally accepted standards. Apple has also left out a range of other essential features required by professionals.
FCPX is an excellently placed product. It's exactly what the makers of wedding DVDs, youtube contributors and the serious home enthusiasts has been lacking; an easy to use yet powerful and semi-automated video maker. It's an iMovie Plus, a Final Cut Express X, it fills a hole in the market and will be of benefit to hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people (far more potential customers than the relatively limited market of professional editors!). Unfortunately, what it is NOT is a Final Cut Pro X!! Because except for wedding DVDs, p*rn movies and a few other very simple editing jobs, it is unusable for the vast majority of professional editing situations.
It seems to me there are two reasons why so many people are so angry about FCPX. The first is that it is called Final Cut Pro X (Final Cut Professional 10) and has been marketed to everyone (including professional editors) as an upgrade from FCP7, this is at least misleading and at worst probably borders on misrepresentation. The second reason is that new features like iMovie import and Vimeo and Youtube export have been given prominence, while at the same time basic professional functionality has been removed. This is a very clear indication that the Final Cut software has been repositioned towards the prosumer market and away from the professional market. This is a real kick in the teeth for those who have built their careers and business around this software and Apple has made the situation worse by marketing this kick in the teeth as a major improvement?!
I've seen messages in other threads from happy amateurs telling the professionals to stop b*tching as FCP7 still works and they can continue using that version. This again demonstrates ignorance of the highly competitive nature of the professional editing marketplace. You need to be doing it better and more efficiently than the next editor. FCP7 has been in need of an update for a few years now, the longer professional editors stick with FCP7, the further behind the competition they will fall. It seems clear that for the foreseeable future FCP7 is Apple's last professional video editing software which means a considerable outlay for Editors, to buy new systems, new software and retrain themselves and employees. It's likely that the release of FCPX and the way it has been marketed will make life very difficult for many editors and may even ultimately cost some their livelihoods.

Is Final Cut Pro HD Production Suite the same as Final Cut Studio?
I need to get Final Cut Studio 5.1 Universal (for use on my new Intel based Macbook Pro). I currently have Final Cut Pro HD Productions Studio. Is that the same as Final Cut Studio? The cost of upgrading when you currently have studio is $49 as opposed to $199 for upgrading to studio from standalone Final Cut Pro HD. I don't want to have to spend an unecessary $75. It does appear that what I have is the equivalent of Studio, though it doesn't say so on the box.
Thanks in advance for an answer. I've never used the forum before. If it would be useful to answer offline, my email is [email protected]
Thanks! IngaWelcome to the forum!
Going from my memory (or lack, thereof), the "Production Suite" included FCP 4, DVD-SP 3, Motion (version 1) and the normally bundled apps; Compressor, SoundTrack, LiveType and Cinema Tools. During the time that the "Production Suite" was available, the main pro apps could also be purchased as individual titles.
Final Cut Studio includes FCP 5, DVD-SP 4, Motion 2 and the bundled titles; Compressor 2, SoundTrack Pro, LiveType and Cinema Tools. With the introduction of the "Studio" package, Apple discontinued the availability of the individual titles - the package became the ONLY way to get them.
So while they aren't the same, it's essentially the same concept of marketing all the pro-apps in one package. If you have a license for the Production Studio, the cost to crossgrade should be $199.00 (according to: http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/ ).

ProRes422HQ with a Canon HV30 and Final Cut....
I'm shooting with a Canon HV30 in HDV24p Cinema Mode. When interfacing to Final Cut Pro, my understanding is that the Cinema Mode records at regular 29.97, but with the look of 24fps. FCP crashes when I try to import it as ProRes422(HQ).
Can anyone please enlighten me as to what sequence settings I should be using to edit an HD movie, combining old home movies that are 720x480 alongside the HD footage? This is for a high end customer who wants the best quality possible (with reasonable render times and work loads on the CPU).For the Canon VIXIA HV30 If you set cinema mode up correctly on the cannon your shooting in 24fps or 24p
Try using 1080i/24p setting for easy setup. You can get there by going to easy set up. Then chosing:
Format:HD
Rate:(all rates) from the "all rates" drop down chose 1080/24p firewire basic. Not sure on this.
I just got the camera and noticed that when I select the "firewire basic" option I have issues.
I have been using the: HD 1080i/60 as that is what cannon mentions that HDV is being encoded at.
Hope that helps. I plan on shooting some 24p clips soon and will post my results.

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 ...- -
I know that the built in iSight camera records video. I want to set up a Canon 5D video camera and feed the Canon's video output into the MacBook Pro so that I can use the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro to adjust the exposure of the Canon 5D. Basically I don't want to buy a vectorscope to have on set to make sure the picture is properly exposed and color balance is correct. (In your response it doesn't have to be the full scenario I've described. If you can just tell me if there's a way to feed live video into the MacBook and display it on the screen and possibly record it, then I'll figure out the rest.)
Dear Ben,
Thanks for your help. Apple and I dealt with this. It was an FCP, NOT Motion problem. As It seems you understand, we simply trashed my FCP prefs. Problem went right away.
Thanks. Do you live near Hammond? Played in a rugby tournment down there once. I was transformed.

FCPX: In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?
In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?
An example: In Premiere Pro, the whole video is added to the timeline identified as used in their video library. Facilitating our work on a big project, not to repeat videos. You can do this in FCPX?The way it works in FCP:
Working from the Timeline Index, you can see lists of all clips in the sequence and their location in the timeline.
You can also do a search (kevn) to narrow the results.
