Mac Mini :: Can Runs Final Cut Studio 3 And Motion 3?

Mar 7, 2009

Is NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB of integrated video RAM sufficient to do video editing using Final Cut Studio as well a Motion 3 without getting hang ? The system requirement in Final Cut says it won't work on Intel Integrated graphics card. But this integrated card in the Mac Mine is not Intel, it is NVidia integrated card, so will it work ? I hope to use this new Mac Mini to learn Final Cut, Motion 3 and iMovie, so the last thing I want is for it to hang on me !

Final Cut Studio :: Pixelated Mini DV Import

Jun 30, 2014

I don't do a lot with Mini DV, but I have a mini dv tape that I'm attempting to capture using FCP7.  Basically when I play the video to a TV off the camcorder, it looks fine, and when I play it in the "log and capture" preview window it looks fine, but when I actually capture it, the video is very pixelated/chunky.  What am I doing wrong here?  I notice that in the "log and capture" preview window, there are interlacing/combing lines, and when I play the captured clip, there are not.  Can FCP7 be trying to deinterlace my footage and butchering it in the process?  I'd rather have combing than this pixelated mess.   

You can see a comparison in the screenshot here, especially noticeable in this comparison along the roof lines:  [URL] ...

Final Cut Pro X :: How To Handle Audio

Sep 11, 2014

Still working on getting audio exported to an AAF, and having problem doing this.  So, how FCPX is handling my audio. When it's on the timeline, is it being conformed to the frame rate of the video?   

When audio is exported, does FCPX force it to conform to the video frame rate in the project settings, audio properties, or both?  Or does it allow the audio to export at whatever rate the original media is at? 

I export an XML from FCPX, then open that with X2Pro and it makes an AAF file, but a report tells me that   "Conform rates are not supported. The Conform rate at 01:04:49.23 has been ignored."  So when I go to that timecode, all I see is video at 24p and a detached audio piece at 23.98.  Why are these different?

Applications :: What Is In The Final Cut Studio 2 Box?

Nov 14, 2009

I have Final Cut Studio 2.0.1. Retail version. I got it with a 2nd hand MBP I bought recently, and I plan to sell FCS2. I have no need for it, iMovie is fine for me.

But I don't have the big fancy box or manuals included... what is meant to be in the box?

I do have...

- 9 installation CDs in the small black apple box.

- Final Cut Studio Software License agreement.

- 'Installing Your Software' documentation with serial numbers.

- Apple Software 'Proof of Purchase' coupons.

If anyone has FCS2 and can tell me what I'm missing, I can advertise it more effectively and truthfully!

Final Cut Studio :: How To Encode MXF To MOV

Aug 26, 2014

i was shooting an image film with a CANON XF100, and now i have a severe audio problem! All the data (imported via SD-Card to my Mac) was somehow corrupted. It sounded like "Trash", always cut-off or so. I tried to import it to FCP7, yet no success. Is XDCam going to work or any other method to encode MXF to MOV?  

how to encode the MXF-files to (uncompressed) MOV or MP4-files. If possible, without a 3rd party-software to purchase. i know some software too, yet Handbrake or VLC seems to fail, too. 

So, simply a way to either convert the MXF-data directly into a FCP7-proejct or maybe FCPX, OR simply to convert it to a MOV or MP4, whatever FinalCut can use and import...

Software :: Next Version Of Final Cut Studio?

Mar 14, 2008

Has anyone heard any rumors of a new Final Cut Studio coming out? It feels like there should be a new one coming out soon... I'm afraid that if I buy it now they'll announce some release or something like that this June.

I have Studio 1, and would like to "upgrade" (I can't legally because I have the student version), but it's no big deal for me to wait.

Software :: Final Cut Studio 2 Academic?

Aug 11, 2008

I bought a copy of this on eBay and most of the CD's are not the latest versions. For example, I have Final Cut 5.1, SoundTrack 1.1, etc. The box shows the latest versions on the cover but the CD's say otherwise.

The seller said those are the version Apple shipped him in Sept 07. Is it possible that Apple included older versions of the software for the academic version or is he ripping me off?

It'd be nice to use their computers but i would like the entire suite on my mac but not sure if my macbook would run it well. What's the best specs to make FCS run very well on a mac? I was planning on getting either the low end iMac 21inch or the lower end macbook 15.

Applications :: Where Is Motion In Final Cut Studio 2

Jan 26, 2009

I just installed the motion 3 dvd from the final cut studio 2 but i can't locate it anywhere in the applications or elsewhere. can't find in with search. when i go through final cut pro it also isn't available in send to menu, while color is.

I'm not sure if i'm missing something here. the installation went fine with a reboot. I tried re installing which also seemed like it happened without any problems but no traces of motion.

i have no clue where it is, unless it changed it's name and is hiding somwhere.

MacBook Pro :: Best System To Use With Final Cut Studio 2?

Jul 16, 2009

Last Saturday, I purchased the 15" 2.53 GHz Macbook Pro (the new one that has the battery built into it). Everyone in the store told me it would run FCS2 fine, but after I checked online, it seems that may or may not be the whole truth. Here are the specs:

2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
250GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
SuperDrive 8x (DVD-R DL/DVD-RW/CD-RW)
SD card slot
Built-in 7-hour battery2
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics

I need something portable so I can take the projects I'll be working on along with me and due to financial reasons, I neither want the 17" or the 15" (2.8 GHz) MBP. I have a 1TB Firewire 800 WD external HDD, so I'm not worried about space. What I am worried about is rendering speed and such. So, my questions are:

1. Is this MBP sufficient enough to run FCS2?
2. Should I keep this same MBP but upgrade to the 7200rpm drive?
3. Should I pony up another $300+ and get the 2.66GHz MBP with the 7200rpm drive?
4. Taking into account what I've said, what is my best configuration to run the FCS2 suite?

Final Cut Studio :: Lost Communication With JH3?

Sep 9, 2014

Yesterday I tried to begin a capture of material for a new project. After repeated attempts to reboot, examined all connections, I decided the RS-232 cable must have gone bad. Drove 140 RT to replace it. This morning I did and found no difference. 

My next step was to upgrade the firmware on the Kona 3 board and did so. Ran Aja VTR Xchange - beautiful picture and synched time code but the one box says " NO VTR connected"..... 

Decided to try running FCP and open the Log and Capture window to see what it said. Same thing. Nice picture SMPTE time code appears to be fine- "No Communication". So ... 

Now I am down to the deck controls and some hidden internal settings having changed somehow, or continued software incompatibility. 

I have had splendid synchronization between all of these devices. 

FCP- 7.0.3

Kona 3-

Sony JH-3 

It seems that one minute FCP setting is off now. I've gone through the Audio/ Video settings and will return to all the preferences settings.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Final Cut Studio :: HDV Sequence Settings?

Jun 2, 2014

I've been using FCP 7 for a few years and have just now discovered a problem I can't seem to solve. I have some archive material that I originally injested from HDV tape to HDV 1080 50i 1440 x 1080 and the clip info shows this to be correct. I set up a sequence and and clicked all the settings to match this and no matter what I do, I keep getting either a red render line or a green render line. I'm not entirely sure whether it should be set up for HDTV or just HD in settings, but setting HDTV cause the red render line to appear. Upper field is chosen and 48Khz for sound.

Final Cut / DVD Studio :: Play FBI Duplication Warning Only Once

Sep 27, 2010

In DVD Studio Pro, how do I have the "FBI Duplication Warning" play only upon disc insertion, but then to not play when I have viewers go to the "Main Menu" wherever they are on the disc? Each time "Menu" button is selected, it first plays the FBI Warning. I realize its because I have that "FBI Warning" as first play, but since I went into the inspector I selected "Main Menu" for the Remote Control Buttons. I thought that would take care of it.

Final Cut Studio :: Cannot Get Filters To Render In Clip

Jun 4, 2014

I am running Final Cut Pro 7 and I have a clip that already has RGB Balance filter and Key filter on it. I am adding Brightness Contrast or any of the other Gamma Correction type filters to the clip, It lets me adjust the filter but when I render it this filter is not included in the render. I have done some experimenting and it seems that the RGB balance is what is stopping this filter from being applied.

I have tried with all the possible filters that will let me adjust the levels on the image, I have tried taking the clip with the first two filters and nesting it then applying the new filter to the nested clip but nothing seems to work. This clip is too dark...
