Final Cut Pro 7 will only run on Mac personal computers running Mac OS X version 10.5.6 or later and using Intel processors. It is a module of the Final Cut Studio product. The software logs and captures video onto a hard drive (internal or external), where it can be edited and processed.</p> <p>From the early 2000s, Final Cut Pro developed a large and expanding user base including many independent filmmakers. It has made inroads with film and television editors who have traditionally used Avid Technology's Media Composer. According to a 2007 SCRI study, Final Cut made up 49% of the US professional editing market, with Avid at 22%. A published Survey in 2008 by the American Cinema Editors Guild placed their users at 21% FCP (and growing from previous surveys of this group), while all others are still on an Avid system of some kind.<br /> ______________________________________________<br /> [url=http://www.google-seo-top.com] link building service[/url]<br /> [url=http://www.swardeep.org] hearing school[/url] </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=43#post-88 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 17:24:46 +0000 Anonymous 88@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>Hi. I just joined to get help with FCP7. Am I in the right place?<br /> Right now at the very start of the project I put one jpg on the time line and it shows in the viewer as all rainbow pixelated. So my first question is "What's wrong with this picrue??" Literally, and pun intended. I can't really go any furtherr with the files distorted in the viewer.<br /> Though I have a lot to learn about using FCP, and am excited about it, this is a not happy start.<br /> Any help out there???<br /> Feel free to call me too. I'll give you my ph # if you're willing to call.<br /> thanks.<br /> Blue Skies,<br /> Tiik </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=42#post-87 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:39:40 +0000 weyker 87@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>In case anyone is interested, the Marketing Communications office of U of Md College Park's Business School is hiring a full-time videographer/editor (more editor I think) on a renewable contract. </p> <p>Here's the web address for the job ad.</p> <p><a href="https://jobs.umd.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/position/JobDetails_css.jsp?postingId=139457" rel="nofollow">https://jobs.umd.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/position/JobDetails_css.jsp?postingId=139457</a></p> <p>I used to have this job, after a few years of increasing budget pressures they decided they really needed someone cheaper when contract renewal came around. </p> <p>They're all friendly people and you'll get to work a lot with a former television producer who, while she wants lots of control over editing, really knows how to plan a shoot, interview, and write a solid script. Feels like semi-pro to pro corporate/agency video work. </p> <p>Get your contract renewed for a year or two and you'll start to get health benefits even as a contract employee. You'll also get to work with a nice 8-core Mac Pro system with final cut suite 2 and adobe cs3 master suite that's technically really up to spec for whatever they need.</p> <p>However, even if you can do everything they want in the job description well, I don't think you can make close to $25 an hour working there to start or anytime soon. And there will be a few days of mandatory unpaid leave around spring and winter break. They do give you generous amounts of paid vacation time though so that's kind of a wash.</p> <p>Also, through much of spring and fall they (responding to outside pressure) may rush and overload you as they're mostly marketing folks who don't know how long some video things take to do. So you'll have to protect the time needed to finish your stuff on time while still keeping them happy.</p> <p>It was an excellent first full-time video job for me, maybe it will be for one of you. They want a moderately fast and fairly skilled final cut editor who works well in a team of non-video marketing people under frequent pressure, and, this is important, they don't want to pay very much.</p> <p>Shayne Weyker<br /> <a href="mailto:reader23@hotmail.com">reader23@hotmail.com</a></p> <p>p.s.

I am running FCP 5. Do I just connect to my G5 via the usb and use "log and capture to import? I am looking checking FCP as I write. </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=39#post-83 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 14:53:03 +0000 rickdetrick 83@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>Stacecarter - Thank you so much for you reply. This is exactly why I joined in on DC FCP Forum. You really clarified some of my issues. I need to speak with someone in the real world that is working with AVCHD. The workflow issues that I was speaking of was based on my search over the internet, and as you can imagine, I read comments from all over the board. I was ready to move ahead with a purchase until I read some of the posts from people that were having problems. So that is where it went down hill from there.<br /> Here is just one example that I read at this blog.</p> <p><a href="http://adamwelznxcam.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">http://adamwelznxcam.wordpress.com/</a></p> <p>His first comment: Log and transfer takes extraordinarily long to transcode long AVCHD clips. His list goes on.<br /> I guess I read to much on the negative side of this issue.</p> <p>Sony has just come out with its new HXR-NX5 NXCAM which is AVCHD and the Panasonic Ag-HMC150 has been a stand out for over a year. They are in my price range and have gotten great reviews. Opps there I go again reading the reviews.</p> <p>So now I can refocus and look at this from your vantage point. So glad I joined this group.<br /> Let me know which way you go with your XDCAM choice this summer.</p> <p>Rick </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=39#post-82 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:01:15 +0000 stacecarter 82@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>Rick - what exactly are the workflow issues to which you refer? I've been using, amongst other cams, a Panasonic AG HMC70p with no problems at all. I know transcoding can seem a bit painful, but honestly, I just see this as part of the convenience trade-off (our shop can't afford an uncompressed shooting solution just yet - and this seemed a good tradeoff to get into HD beyond HDV). With Log and transfer as sophisticated as it has become, it feels just like a tape-based workflow without the hassle of tape.</p> <p>We're doing a big overhaul to XDCam this summer, but this has been a great bridge for us. So... what exactly is the problem you're running in to? </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=39#post-81 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 09:15:18 +0000 rickdetrick 81@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>Since AVCHD has workflow isuess with FCP 7 and all the restrictions it is not worth the cost to move up from tape. It would take some arm twisting to get me to consider AVCHD, ie; is Apple taking a second look at this. I have look for camcorders that use other codecs under $4000 and the only appealing model I have seen is the JVC GY-HM100U. It is a small compact package with some limitations, but it is a perfect match with FCP, fast workflow with MPEG-2 video and Quicktime format, no time consuming transcoding. It looks like the new Canon XF300 has got it right also with the MPEG-2, XF codec, but it is going to be in the $7000 range. I may wait this situation out and stay with tape until I see something better. For those committed to FCP I would like to hear how others are dealing with this issue as they consider a purchase of a tapeless HD camcorder.</p> <p>Thanks, Rick </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=38#post-80 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 12:10:36 +0000 Scott Mead 80@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>Disregard. Just discovered the network connection was not set up correctly for the mac in question. </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=38#post-79 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 08:09:43 +0000 Scott Mead 79@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>When using JKL, I often scan through footage at the fastest rate. I have two systems hooked to an Omneon server. On system is fine. The other one skips at about a half a second at a time while scanning with a jumpy result. It's very annoying. The other system plays each frame which creates a very smooth fast forward. Does anyone know why one would work fine and the other not? I am about to check the ram allocation to each (for Final Cut app) to see if that's the problem. Any other suggestions? Thanks much. I'm new to mac and Final Cut. I also edit with AVID DS and other AVID products. </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=37#post-78 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 12:02:40 +0000 Story Doula 78@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>I'm capturing footage from a v1u camera which I shot myself. The footage is either - quite muddy with lots of noise with no lines through it... or quite clear but with lines that break up when there is movement. I was not changing settings in the field -was white balancing often. It was shot in SD. Perhaps this is a v1u problem? Any thoughts.</p> <p>Also - any suggestions for how to batch convert Flipcam clips to use in FCP timeline so there isn't a render issue every edit? </p> <p>Many thanks,</p> <p>Paulette </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=36#post-77 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 11:56:14 +0000 Story Doula 77@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>Dear Rodney, </p> <p>Many thanks for this!

Its either the compression or the bit rate that causes the jumpiness.<br /> FCP handles audio with the correct audio sample rate much better.<br /> For example a CD is sampled at 44.1kHz, it needs to be sampled up.<br /> The default sequence for DV in FCP has 48kHz audio.<br /> You can use QuickTime Player Pro to open the MP3 then choose Export. Choose Sound to AIFF from the pop-up menu. Click Options and Choose None for the Compressor, 16Bit 48kHz Uncompressed Stereo. </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=36#post-75 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 13:32:38 +0000 Story Doula 75@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>One of my students put an MP3 of a piece of music in his FCP timeline and it seems to be clipping - or jumpy. Just not quite right. His timeline levels are fine - and the MP3 sounds fine when we play it in iTunes. Any suggestions?

It seems like the only settings I can get for standard def is 4:3 720x480, whereas I can capture HD in its proper 16:9 aspects. Is that the case or am I missing a means to make that adjustment for SD 16:9 capture in Firewire? </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=34#post-73 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 12:23:22 +0000 Anonymous 73@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>Running into this on manual and auto render.

If you don't use a supported codec for RT, it will only show you two options. Go into your sequence, hit cmd-0 (zero) and make sure the Compressor Selection in the "Quicktime Video Settings" is selected as DV/DVCPRO - NTSC </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-71 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:02:15 +0000 stacecarter 71@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>What are your sequence settings and machine specs? </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=33#post-70 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:59:10 +0000 tichudson 70@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>i am editing mini dv footage. i am placing only lower 3rd plain white text and i can hit play and see it with out rendering. i have done this be for but can't seem to get it now. when i go over to the RT button i only have two things to choose from (use play back setting and full quality ) when before i had like eight items to choose from what setting or what am i not doing right? </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=32#post-69 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 11:44:05 +0000 rich 69@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>Who is upgrading?

All of the money that goes into a deck is going into the heads. While on a camera the heads are only a small portion of what your money's being spent on.</p> <p>As for decks that will do both DV and HDV I have a Sony HVR-M15AU deck though I've never tried to use it with footage shot on a Canon camera. There's so many "flavors" to HDV that until I try something for myself I'm never confident that it will work. </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=7#post-66 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:32:39 +0000 Walt 66@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>Walt from Warren, Penna. (20 miles south of the NY state line, 65 miles east-southeast of Erie; HQ to the Allegheny National Forest)</p> <p>I'm a hobbyist, wanting very much to break into professional work. I took training in analog video shooting and editing with VHS and three-quarter tape during my college days in the 1980's. I went to work with my family's construction business after I earned my BA at Pitt. Have been a life-long outdoor recreationist and volunteer in and around the Allegheny National Forest, currently upset by the oil drilling destruction to trails going on here. In Aug. of 2003, I attended Digital Media Academy at Stanford University to take a week-long immersion course in FCP from San Francisco-based filmmaker Dean Mermel. A year later, I was asked by the local tourism office to shoot an impromptu 30-second ad to be shown during a special fishing show to originate from here. Using nothing but my home setup (DV consumer cam) my 30 sec. spot made it onto the Outdoor Channel and it looked pretty good. In 2005, I completed my own homemade promotional DVD for a local winter festival. In '07, I shot and edited four political ads for a candidate for local office.</p> <p>Jack-of-all-trades pretty much describes my work. I work in the office and I do labor on construction sites. I set our business up with our first Mac in August of '89 (SE), started doing bookkeeping and estimates, later donated DTP services for volunteer trails efforts, and eventually worked on video projects. So I've witnessed at least three "desktop revolution" events now. </p> <p>In March of '09, I jumped at the opportunity to take a trip to DC to join Kitty Benzar of the Western Slope No Fee Coalition [ <a href="http://www.WesternSlopeNoFee.org" rel="nofollow">www.WesternSlopeNoFee.org</a> ] to visit federal legislators' offices on Capitol Hill to discuss possible legislation to eliminate general-access fees on federal public lands; I spoke as a trails volunteer about my experiences on a national forest. While in DC, I looked up Washington Apple Pi as well as DCFCPUG's Rodney Mitchell. Rodney and I never met face-to-face, but we did have a nice phone chat one evening. I would love to return to the DC area, learn more about the local situation, and get some work. (Warren is on-the-ropes) </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=31#post-65 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:09:51 +0000 Walt 65@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>For years, I've been relying on a MiniDV (DV) camcorder for both shooting and log-and-capture into Final Cut Pro. My personal projects have been infrequent enough that I've been able to get away without wearing out the camcorder.</p> <p>Now, I've thinking about one of these new HDV camcorders, maybe a Canon Vixia HV30 (they're coming down in price, I notice) and the thought occurred to me: are there any MiniDV decks available on the market that can handle tapes for both DV and HDV? Are there any good deals to be found? And what about the old tape-brand/lubricant issue? Do you still have to stick with one brand of tapes to avoid gumming up your deck? (I've been using Sony MiniDV tapes almost exclusively for years; using a head cleaner when necessary.)</p> <p>How durable are these tape decks, anyway? </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=30#post-64 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 16:06:46 +0000 Walt 64@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>Is this a temporary arrangement for a lone project, or s he looking for a long term commitment? </p> http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/topic.php?id=30#post-63 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 21:06:59 +0000 rodney 63@http://www.dcfcpug.org/bbpress/ <p>I was contacted 3/17/09 by a producer who is looking for DC metro editor talent.
