Workflow including final cut,boom recorder & titan

hello,
i got an urgent question:
on a film shooting, audio will be recorded on 4-8 tracks
(broadcast wave format), among a stereo-mixdown for the cutter. the movie will be cut on "final cut pro 5" only in stereo and afterwards we want to reconform the cut stereo-mixdown to the original 2-6 tracks (24 bit),
using "titan" by synchroarts.
now we face the problem that "final cut" can't directly import broadcast wave format files including metadata, but we need the metadata, so it must be extracted to an xml-file by sebsky tools or bwf2xml or similar. but both programs also have to convert the
stereo-mixdown to a mov-file that titan can't edit!
so our dilemma is that on the one hand we don't get audio with timecode in final cut without converting it to mov+xml, but on the other hand, titan needs an edl with wav-files!
does anybody know this problem and -the better - knows a solution? is there a software that works like bwf2xml, but
doesn't have to convert the WAV to MOV?
We're deeply grateful for any kind of help!
thanks,
ina

can't you just give titan the edl + original bwf files?
if that won't work, then you should talk to the developer, Andreas Kiel, at [email protected] ... he is a very helpful guy.
it might also be worth a look at the products at http://www.gallery.co.uk, such as XMLPro
cheers

Workflow from Final cut Pro

Hello there,
I have a three minute video sequence in Final Cut Pro and
want to post it on the web for streaming. My question now is:
should I export from FCP using my quicktime export to flash
file function or do I get better quality when I convert in the
Flash media encoder.
The follow on question then is: how do I know what setting to
use in FCP?
Or if I would go the other way: what format should my movie
be in to import into the Flash media encoder?
thank you so much.

it appears that if you check only "include crossfades"(during the fcp omf export) it does retain those once in logic, but if you check both "levels" and "crossfades", nothing gets retained. strange.

Blueray workflow form final cut pro x

Hello,
I'm trying to produce a blue ray master using:
external blue ray writer http://www.buffalotech.com/products/optical-drives/mediastation/mediastation-12x -external-blu-ray-writer
imac
final cut pro x
toast titanium 11 with blue ray plug in
I'm looking for a working workflow to get several FCPX projects into a format that toast will burn and not degrade the quality and work
what I've tried:
Exporting to pro res 422 HQ format which produces large .mov files. I then import these files into toast. Toast accepts these but then encodes them. when testing the successful burned disc in several players only one of the 6 films plays the film

It seems like a Toast issue, rather tham a FCP issue. Can't think of anything specific to FCPX that Toast should have trouble with. AFAIK, export media, bring into Toast and you should be good…except you're not. Have you tried Roxio support?

What is the best workflow for Final Cut Pro X across multiple computers?

I travel on a team that is in a different location every week, so all of our video editing has to be fairly moble. We have 3 macbook pros and would like to use final cut X on all of them. What would be the best workflow for us all to work on the same project and sync it across the computers? (eg, one of us editing the footage, one editing the sound, one working on visual effects?)

My first question would be how well 5.1 would work with SL. People have reported problems.
As far as cameras are concerned, I would guess most any tape-based camera would work and so much depends on the kind of projects you work on that I wouldn't want to start guessing at your needs.
If you want broad access to tapeless and advanced formats try to locate and purchase an upgrade disk to 6 or 7.
Good luck.

Does Final Cut Server include Final Cut Studio Apps?

Hi All,
Does Final Cut Server include all the Final Cut Studio Apps, or are these two packages that I'll have to buy separately?
Thanks,

They are indeed separate packages. One is a set of media creation apps (FCS), the other is an asset management system for projects created in those apps (FC Server).

HT3523 Please update this page to include Final Cut X

This webpage needs to be updated with Final Cut X information.

Describe your Final Cut Pro editing workflow?

Being new to Final cut I would love to hear more about your workflow in Final Cut in terms of capturing clips, organizing clips, etc. Do you first color correct all your footage and then begin editing in timeline, do you color correct as you go? etc.

You color correct AFTER you have locked the cut. Doing so beforehand would be a waste of time.
I have a tutorial DVD on my organization workflow... Getting Organized in FCP.
Fro documentary, after I organize, I lay out the "radio cut", which is narration and soundbytes only. This is when I build the basic story. Then I go back and add footage, maybe add music at the same time. Then go back and add music or fine tune music, and add pacing to the cut. Maybe make a few changes.
But this is all dependent on having a script. If I had no script, I'd watch all the interviews and try to find a story, build minor sequence with storylines.
Narrative...that is VERY script based. I might have a separate sequence for a string of scenes...but I follow the script very much in the beginning, then go back and dissect the heck out of it...what works and what doesn't, work on the pacing.
BTW, I might be compensated by the above posted link.

A few basic questions regarding Final Cut Studio & the programs it includes

Ok..first of all..i'm new at video editing. Can a person learn how to use Final Cut pro, on their own? Is it user friendly like imovie?
Secondly... what are the exact names of the programs that come with Fina cut studio?
Are they?
-Motion Pictures
-Live Type
-Cinema Tools
-Final Cut Pro
-Compressor
Do these five programs make up Final Cut Studio? I have access to the above programs, but i'm not sure if its worth installing them or not. Are there any other files that come with these programs?
I'm just wondering if it's worth my time trying to learn the programs or if i'm better off justing using imovie.
Thanks

Ok..first of all..i'm new at video editing. Can a
person learn how to use Final Cut pro, on their own?

It is not as user-friendly as iMovie, depending on how you define "user-friendly". What do you need to do with it? My friend made a very nice 30-minute short film on iMovie and I still use it for basic projects (wedding videos and slideshows). However, iMovie is just a "toy" compared to Final Cut's capabilities.
Secondly... what are the exact names of the programs
that come with Fina cut studio?
Are they?
-Motion Pictures
-Live Type
-Cinema Tools
-Final Cut Pro
-Compressor
Actually, those are the programs included in Final Cut Pro itself (save Motion Pictures, which is actually just called Motion). The full package of Final Cut Studio includes Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro and DVD Studio Pro. Go here for more info: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/
I'm just wondering if it's worth my time trying to
learn the programs or if i'm better off justing using
imovie.
Again, what do you need to use them for? In general, I would recommend learning Final Cut Studio, if you have access to it. There is a learning curve from iMovie, but the Final Cut layout is very intuitive and easy to learn. If video editing is something you want to get into as a career choice, I'd say get crackin' on Final Cut.
Good luck!

Final Cut Server Petition

I have started the above pet it ion at: www.pet it ion online.com (no spaces)
Search for Final Cut Server or FCS. Please sign it, I would love to get this product back.

I'm finding the promotional material confusing. Apparently you do not have simultaneous read-write capabilities, you check out media dn then check it back in. But it can be located anywhere, on any machine, on any server.
Max, are you at NAB and seeing the demos?
This is from the marketing page:
Use Final Cut Server to automatically catalog your media in any format and in any location. Powerful layered search tools let you find any asset fast, whether you’re in the studio or on the road. Browse thumbnails, poster frames, and proxies generated by Final Cut Server in formats you specify.
Final Cut Server extracts and reports industry-standard metadata, including IPTC, XMP, and XML data types, so you won’t have to waste time reentering data. Final Cut Server is a seamless extension of the editing workflow in Final Cut Pro. Drag assets from Final Cut Server to any of the Final Cut Studio applications. Use Final Cut Server to organize Productions—including any combination of Final Cut Pro projects, rough cut sequences, media assets, and production documents. Or create a Final Cut Pro project in Final Cut Server and check it out to begin editing; when you check it back in, the catalog updates automatically.
It all sounds too good to be true.
We use Canto Cumulus to handle our digital still assets (and much more) but it is beyond "too good to be true." Cumulus is a chimera masquerading as a nightmare.

Final Cut Studio Universal Ship date?

Does anyone have any idea as to when Apple will actually ship? Everytime I check my order status, it just states that FCSU is back ordered. We're getting to the end of March. Well, given Apple's track record for tardiness, I guess this is standard operating procedure. I'll continue to be patient, just wondering if anyone's heard anything?? Thanks.

If they're calling it by the next point release, as you indicate, it's Final Cut Studio 1.1 (which includes Final Cut Pro 5.1). The Software License Agreement for FCS 1.1 states, in part:

Interesting, heh?

Having trouble installing Final Cut Studio...

So I recently bought my pal's Power Mac G5 dual 2.2GHz, reinstalled the OS (ver. 10.4.11), and am now installing all the software I use, including Final Cut Studio 2. Everything installed fine thus far, until FCS 2, which gets past the audio content portion of the install before stopping. All it says is "Please try to install this software later." (or something to that effect). The discs are good (new), I have a working serial number (it installed/operated perfectly on my old machine before I switched out), and as far as I know this machine is in better shape than my old one (a dual 1.8GHz G5, late 2004 model). My current machine is NOT an Intel model.
Any ideas, brethren? I really need to get back to video editing, and this is slowing . . . me . . . down. Mahalo.

I am having the same problem. I have read many postings and the solutions are not working. I had a hard drive fail in a G5. I am running OS 10.4.11. I replaced the drive with a 250 gig (top bay) loaded the OS and install FCP 5.1 upgrade by using the 4.5 key when requested. Just like Mr. Dirctor stated:
the install asked for the FCPStudio disc to be reinsert after the "audio loops" disc was loaded. The install fails immediately and states: Errors during install - please try again. After another go, skipping audio install, the other install disc Motion, DVD 4, LiveType produces the same error.

Final Cut upgrade serial number problems

A few years ago I upgraded Final cut Pro 4 to the first Final Cut Studio release, which included Final Cut Pro 5. I just recently had to wipe my hard drive and start over, but now I can't seem to install Final Cut Studio. It's asking for the serial number, and I'm using the serial number from Final Cut Pro 4, but it's not working.
My question: am I missing a serial number? I was under the impression that Final Cut upgrades use the serial number from the original full version you are upgrading from.

You can try contacting Apple, since that's an answer we cannot provide here.

Lost Serial Number For Final Cut Express 3.5

Okay, here's the story. A long time ago (Like a year), on the left side of the finder window where library, documents, applications, etc. is, for some reason I accidentally dragged out the library icon. About a month ago I took the library icon from in the finder window into the left side of the finder bar. When I logged out and logged back in, my whole account had been reset. I was able to recover all my data, because it did not delete the data, it had only moved it. But all my applications were reset, including Final Cut Express 3.5. I have not used it since today. Today I tried to open FCE, and it asked me for my serial number. Since all my applications were reset, FCE thought this was the first time it was being opened. To get to the point, I no longer have the serial number. I looked for the information so I could get a new serial number (Support page URL http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861), but I could not find the information. If I can never find the information, I can never open the application again unless I buy a new copy. If anyone can help me in any way to fix this problem that would be VERY helpful. Thank you.

If you have lost the serial number the only thing you can do is contact Apple with some kind of proof of purchase.
