XL1S+RADIO MIC+FINAL CUT EXPRESS

I am having problems setting up my new radio mic(seinnhiser 100) with the xl1s, i bought a MA200 for the camera.
question: can i have the onboard mic and the radio mics running together,can i switch/mix the "onboard mic" and the "radio mic"..... as in a wedding set-up. priest/onboard mic...groom/radio mic, will final cut express show the radio mic as two channels on the timeline or one channel, or wht would be the best set-up.
john.

FCE will only capture the first two channels of audio. It will not capture four channels when using 32k. You should use 48k (16-bit). Whether the camera mic is still active depends on the adapter.

    I think you're in the wrong forum. This is the LiveType forum. There is no sound in LT.

  • Trouble capturing to Final Cut Express HD 3

    Upgraded to Leopard last night and also added Final Cut Express HD 3. I have been using Final Cut Express for about 4 years and using my Canon XL1 & GL1 to capture with no problems. After upgrades I hooked up my Canon XHA1 (firewire)
    and wanted to capture some HD footage to play with the new stuff.
    When I go to capture (using capture screen control buttons), the camera starts and the capture screen stays black for about 5 seconds then stops camera. VTR at bottom of screen is showing connected. I've tried many things with no results. played with camera settings. Need some help.

    Do a forum search for QuickTime 7.3. It doesn't work with FCE versions 3.5 or older.

  • Final Cut Express Log and Transfer files not playing audio on another mac

    I recently purchased a new Mac Pro for video editing for work, and am having some issues with it. Previously i was working on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.4.11, on Final Cut Express 4.
    I used Log & Transfer to get the AVCHD videos from my Canon HF 11 onto my mac, and had no issues. Where my problems started was when I moved my video files to my new Mac Pro running OS 10.5.6. Now when I open those video files in either Quicktime or FCE, the VIDEO plays but _not the audio_. I thought maybe the video files were bad, but when I tried the original files on the new Mac, they still didn't work. I don't know if there's some codec that isn't on the new mac or if there's some other problem... I just know that my new amazing machine cannot play the files that my 3 year old one can. I'm not new to computers, but I'm not an Apple guru. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Well I can try trashing the files, but I can't log and transfer the files again, as it's months of footage that aren't on the camera anymore. But i did find something else out. The files that were recorded with the camera's built-in mic recording is fine and with sound, but the files that I used my wireless mic setup had no sound. I don't know why that is, because they worked fine on the MacBook Pro. I tried log and transferring a new clip on the Mac Pro wit;h footage using the wireless mic, and still no sound.

  • Will Final Cut Express help with...

    I am considering purchasing Final Cut Express for a video project I am working on for my company. I have been using iMovie for a while and have not found a way to overlay a graphic (in this case, our company logo) on top of video. Will Final Cut Express allow me to do this?
    Also, I just shot some video of clients giving testimonials that I would like to turn into marketing pieces. Unfortunately there is a lot of background noise in several of the clips. Does Final Cut Express have any audio tuning features that will help me reduce or remove the background noise?
    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

    Will Final Cut Express allow me to do this?
    Yes, easily.
    Does Final Cut Express have any audio tuning features that will help me reduce or remove the background noise?
    Not really. You could try using a noise reduction tool like SoundSaop, but you're best bet is to re-shoot using proper mics and placement.

  • Soundtrack Pro compatible with Final Cut Express?

    I have Final Cut Express 4 installed and installed Logic Studio. Soundtrack Pro and Compressor did not install. Are these programs not compatible with FC Express?

    From the Apogee website:
    "Duet features two superb microphone inputs, each with phantom power and up to 75dB of gain. With Duet, you can record a pristine vocal track while playing your guitar or keyboard, stereo mic your acoustic or even capture a live concert."
    http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/duet.php
    It's ideal target audience would be laptop users in need of a high-quality, but very portable audio interface for Logic.

  • I'm running Final Cut Express 2. How can I move entire project and application from one internal hard drive to another? Ran out of space on one drive. Thanks.

    I'm running Final Cut Express 2. My video project is 95% done and I've run out of space on my 500g internal hard drive. How can I (1) move the complete FCE program and video to my unused 250g internal hard drive and operate it from there and (2) how do I then purge all the FCE info from the 500g drive without losing anything from the 250 drive?
    Also, is it possible to change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 when the project is finished? If so, how? I now know this all should have been done before I started. Thanks for the help.

    1. You can't move the application. It must remain on the system drive. Move your capture scratch folder to the external FireWire drive and use the reconnect function in the project.
    2. What's the media 16:9 or 4:3?

  • My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

    My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
    The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
    I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy....   google...." fcpx time machine problem"  Frist page link 
    http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/fcpx-bug-best-practices-for-using-external-hard- drives-and-final-cut-pro-x/
           You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.
    booya!

  • Final Cut Express won't allow me to capture from my vdo camera

    I just loaded Final Cut Express HD on my Mac because I wanted to upgrade from IMOVIE. My Powerbook G4 had no problem capturing video with my Sony HDV 1080i video camera. But I can't get Final Cut Express HD to locate my camera at all no matter what "easy setup" setting I choose. But if I turn on IMOVIE, the program can capture from my video camera no problem. I know the firewire cable is hooked to the computer correctly & the camera is on & in the VTR mode. If anyone can help me identify this problem, I'd really appreciate it because I'm trying to begin a new video project & can't if I can't capture video. Thanks for helping.

    Fritz from Technical support told me about a glitch in Final Cut Pro & Express HD that happens when you upgrade to Quicktime 7. He told me to go to this article: Link: http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301852
    and follow the instructions & it would fix my problem. It didn't & then of course I called tech support back & it was after hours. I still can't capture from my video camera but it works in IMOVIE. I removed Final Cut Express HD from my computer (even all the files in library/users, etc.) and then reinstalled it. It still gives me the same error even though I have my camera plugged in & turned on. It says unable to locate capture device. This is unbelievable. Hopefully I can get some help. Brian

  • Final cut Express unable to capture

    My Final Cut Express wont initialize my deck. A dialog box comes up saying so. one site suggest deleting quicktime receipts in my library folder on my mac, that quicktime needs to be reinstalled, then i should be able to get my canon HV20 video camera to communicate with FCE 4 and start capturing. has anyone heard of resolving my "unable to initialize video deck" issue this way? Any ideas how to get my HV20 and FCP to communicate to eachother?

    There is a separate forum for FCE.
    Make sure you are using the correct HDV settings in FCE and that the camera is set to output HDV and not downconvert.

  • Final Cut Express won't capture audio with the video anymore, why?

    I have used Final Cut Express 4 for over a year now with no problems, but recently I am unable to capture any audio with the video from my camera. I can do it through iMovie no problem. I can't figure out if I changed a setting by accident because everything looks normal to me. Could another program be interfering with this? Quicktime Pro? I have no idea how to fix this.

    First of all, we need a bunch of information in order to help. Please provide the specs of the footage and the sequence you are using. Also, are you using DV, HDV, or AVCHD? Do you hear audio when the clip is played in the viewer, or is there no audio at all once the clip is captured/ingested?

  • Panasonic HDC-SD100 media card unable to capture on Final Cut Express 4

    No problems at all with transfer to i-movie but just purchased final cut express 4 and problems with capturing from the media card. Signal system on camera is 1080/50i. Have tried setting HD and 1080/50i in the easy set up but no joy. Have tried log and transfer and see clips but on transfer message states no data. Can anyone help with the settings please?
    Many thanks in advance

    Welcome to the forum!
    There are many things that could cause this, and almost all have been discussed.
    Some things to try:
    • In the Log and Transfer window, click the preferences button (the gear in the upper right). Make sure audio is set to *Plain Stereo*
    • Also in that preferences window, click the button to *Clear the Cache*
    Also, what drive are you using to capture to (internal or external)? How is it formatted, and how much space is left on that drive?

  • IMovie 08, iMovie 6, or Final Cut Express

    I just got a new Sony HDR-SR12 HD camera. It records in 1080i. I tried iMovie 08, but I don't like the export options. I used the iMovie 08 import .mov file and opened it in iMovie 6. I exported the video and it doesn't look that good. I'm thinking about Final Cut Express but I don't know how it integrates with iLife apps. What's the best option?

    iMovie 08 imports AVCHD in full 1080i. The AVCHD is converted to Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080.
    The issue comes when you render the project. The iMovie 08 presets max out at 960x540 for Apple TV. Apple TV looks very good because most TVs will upscale it back to 1920x1080.
    It is possible to export to Quicktime in full 1920x1080.
    However, then you have the problem of how to play it back.
    You can play it back at 1920x1080 on your Mac, if your screen is large enough.
    You can play it back on a Sony Playstation 3.
    You can play it on a BluRay Disk Player.
    Toast 9 permits burning a BluRay Disk in full 1920x1080. You will need a BluRay disk Burner for this. Toast 9 also lets you do a short AVCHD/Bluray disk on a regular DVD on a regular DVD burner, but you are limited to about 20 minutes of playing time.
    If you burn to a normal DVD in MPEG2, you are limited to 480i, so that is the worst option.

  • Is it possible to transfer stored (b-roll) video footage from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro event library? Is so, what do I need?

    I have been editing in final cut express and now that I'm working in Pro X I would like to transfer my b-roll footage from FCX to Pro X. I read that there is an app. that you can buy that does this for Final Cut Pro 7, is this possible with Final Cut Express?

    Any media used in FCE can be used in FCP. No third party software is required.
    You cannot take an FCE project to FCP. 7toX will not help as FCE has no XML export.
