==How do I get good slow motion?==<br />
<br />
<br />
Probable answers: <br />
<br />
'''A. From Kevin Monahan:''' <br><br />
You can get good quality slow motion using the [http://www.revisionfx.com/products/twixtor/ Twixtor Plug-in from Re:Vision] in FCP or After Effects. You can do both variable and constant speed effects and the quality is much higher than you see in the stock speed tools in FCP. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''B. From Nick Meyers:''' <br><br />
I've got a "poor-man's" smooth slo-mo that i do in FCP. <br />
It really only works with 50% speed, <br />
but here it is: <br />
<br />
Slow clip to 50%.<br />
Double the clip up on itself. <br />
Add de-interlace to both layers. <br />
Set one to upper, <br />
the other to lower.<br />
Add the blink filter to the V2 clip, <br />
Set to 1 frame on, 1 frame off. <br />
<br />
You do need to render a small section and see if you have the right field order, and that can change if you trim the clip. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''C. From Graeme Nattress''': <br><br />
You can use Compressor or Shake for their optical flow to get great slomo, similar to Shake. Or if you just need a nice 50% slowmo from interlaced video, my [http://www.nattress.com/Products/standardsconversion/GMapFrames.htm G Map Frames] plugin does that well and fast..<br />
<br />
<br />
'''D. From Jude Cotter''': <br><br />
<font color=red>Update </font>: Since the release of Motion 3, Final Cut Studio users now have access to the Optical Flow technology originated in Shake. This can give excellent results and is easy to apply. For more information, go to [http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/tutorials/#tab=fcstudio&tutorial=mov-mottrack Final Cut Studio 2 Tutorials]. A 'Tracking' tutorial is first, followed by the Retiming tutorial.<br />

== How to fake a camera flash==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br><br />
<br />
The quick, simple and free way is to use a 'dip to colour' dissolve. Once you have applied the default transition to your cut, double click the transition in the timeline to load it into the viewer. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now change the parameters to 6 frames, and the colour to almost white. It's best not to use absolute white with video. Also, think about adding a sound effect such as a camera click, as this will help 'sell' the effect. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that might help''' <br><br />
<br />
You can also download a free 'flash frame' plug-in as part of the Too Much Too Soon donationware pack here : [http://www.mattias.nu/plugins/ Too Much Too Soon]<br />
<br />
For a more controllable effect, you can buy the Nattress Film Effects set which includes 'G Film Flash' here : [http://www.nattress.com/Products/filmeffects/G_Film_Flash.htm Nattress Effects]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Loren Miller:''' <br><br />
Determine what *kind* of camera flash. Older bulb-type flashes take longer and 6 frames is about right. Think RAGING BULL. Newer strobe-type digital flashes are shorter. Think CSI. Each flash starts very bright and ramps down in a millisecond as bulb energy fades. <br />
<br />
<br />
A method using simply FCP: <br><br />
<br />
* Blade out frames for flash effect so your filter won't affect surrounding action. You could even peel this section up above by dragging with Option held. Then remove the blading from the clip below. <br />
* Apply Brightness/Contrast filter effect (to the dupe if you've done this). <br />
* Open the section in Viewer. <br />
* Step in and ramp one or both settngs from full to half strength. <br />
* Experiment against the particular action background for best effect-- include a fade UP frame if it adds authenticity. <br />
* Sound effect is always critical to a good flash.<br />
<br />

==Can I do black and white, while one thing stays in colour?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br> <br />
This is known as the 'Pleasantville' effect, after the movie 'Pleasantville' which gradually introduced colour over the course of the film. There is an excellent tutorial by '''Darrin Sayewich''' for reproducing this effect in FCP here : [http://www.lafcpug.org/tutorials/basic_pleasantville_look.html How to create the 'Pleasantville' effect in Final Cut Pro]<br />

==How do I create gunshot muzzle flashes?==<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br />
<br />
WARNING: These are easily overblown and badly implemented. <br />
<br />
<br />
There are two general methods: <br />
<br />
1. '''Simple flashes in FCP using native effects'''. <br />
<br />
First, determine the length of the muzzle flash. For a handgun in daylight, it'll be short, 3-5 frames. Longer at night, 5-7 frames. For an automatic weapon in daylight, try short bursts, 3 frames, repeated as a series <br />
for the length of the discharge. Lay down the audio spot effect as a good effect guide. <br />
<br />
* Choose the frame as finger pulls trigger for the effect start and Blade it. <br><br />
* Choose the final frame of the flash to end, and Blade it. <br><br />
* Duplicate the bladed section to just above the original track. <br><br />
* Create the flash mask : apply a 4-point Garbage Mask. <br><br />
* Cluster all 4 points in around front of the muzzle. Pay attention to pointing vector. <br><br />
* Create an "ice cream cone" diamond shape with the thick part at the muzzle. <br><br />
* Apply Brightness/Contrast filter to the bladed flash section. Crank up settings to taste. <br><br />
* Crank up the edge feather. <br><br />
* Adjust to taste, render, review. <br><br />
<br />
Optional - Orange color balance adjustment to flash, especially for nighttime/dim scenes. <br />
<br />
<br />
2. '''Canned weapon effects'''. <br />
<br />
Such as the ones at [http://www.detonationfilms.com/missionstatement.htm Detonation Films:] Excellent FCP-specific tutorial and free flashes. <br />

==How do I make my video look like film?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
The fast and easy way is to get Nattress' 'Film Effects' filter set. The price is excellent, and the package works extremely well. You can find it here : <br />
[http://www.nattress.com/Products/filmeffects/filmeffects.htm Nattress Film Effects] <br />
<br />
Also take a look at [http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/magic-bullet-suite/ The 'Magic Bullet' suite by Red Giant Software]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that might help :''' <br />
<br />
There is a simple method for producing a 'filmish' look in FCP. While it obviously is not as convincing as any of the products already mentioned, it does come in at the great price of free, for the no-budget filmmaker. <br />
<br />
* Duplicate your clip on V2 by holding option and shift while you drag the clip upwards. This will produce a copy of the clip in perfect sync with the footage below it. <br><br />
<br />
* Apply a gaussian blur filter to the clip on V2. Push this effect up quite high, so that everything looks very blurry. <br><br />
<br />
* Right click or control click the V2 clip and from the small popup menu, choose composite mode > Soft light, or Overlay. <br><br />
<br />
* Reduce the opacity of the V2 clip until it is barely visible, and only the soft 'wash' effect remains. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
If you want to add dust and scratches, select your clips using In and Out on the timeline, and then go File > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion > Format - Quicktime Movie > Options > Filter > Special Effects > Film Noise. Pull all the options down low so they aren't too cheesy. There is also the option to change the colour in this menu as well - Faded Film or Faded 1930s, etc. <br />
<br />
You can also add grain in the generator menu - Render > Particle Noise with a good blur on it often works well. <br />

<br />
'''From Joel Peregrine:'''<br> <br />
Highlight a clip, duplicate it and place it directly above itself in the same way your technique is set up. Set the V2 opacity at 50%. Now place the "de-interlace" filter (with the "LOWER" setting selected) on the V1 clip. Next, place "de-interlace" (with the "UPPER" setting selected) on the V2 clip. Thats it!!! No interlaced-induced flicker. Full resolution, No strobing, No jaggies, just a subtle, classy, non-video look.<br />

==How do I make a telephone voice?==<br />
<br />
'''From Ian Graham''' <br />
<br />
The Telephone voice officially goes from about 180 Hz to 3200Hz. I use 300 to 3K. Roll off everything else and then tilt the piece in the middle to favor the highs. Add long-distance hissing noises or other disturbances as appropriate. <br />
<br />
<br />
Use Low shelf. Roll off at 350, at a -6 to start. High shelf at 3500 at -6. Then find a source of hiss and crackle. I use a two minute section of phono record I recorded years ago, needle just running the inside groove. <br />

==How do I blur a face or an object like in Cops?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br> <br />
<br />
* Double click the clip to load it into the Viewer <br><br />
<br />
* Duplicate your clip on V2 by holding Option and Shift while you drag the clip upwards. This will produce a copy of the clip in perfect sync with the footage below it.<br> <br />
<br />
* Turn off the track visibility light on V1. (makes it easier to see your changes) <br><br />
<br />
* Apply a mask shape filter to the clip on V2. (It's in Effects > Video Filters > Matte > Mask Shape) <br><br />
<br />
* Click the Filters tab at top of viewer. Scale your mask using the vertical and horizontal sliders to fit what you want to mask. You can move the mask shape anywhere on the clip by selecting the cross-hair button next to "Center." NOTE: if you are masking a face choose OVAL from the Shape pop-up button. <br><br />
<br />
* Apply a Gaussian blur filter to V2. (It's in Effects > Video Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur.) Adjust the blur to suit your taste by using the Radius slider. <br><br />
<br />
* Turn back on Track visibility light on V1. <br><br />

'''But how do I mask and track a MOVING object?''' <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Loren Miller'''<br> <br />
<br />
A Motion Tracker is best, but if you don't have it available, just use a Marker everytime the scene settles-- these instances are the most critical to blur-- and you can simply keyframe your blur mask shape to each marker location. Even if it zooms, mark major changes. Keyframing will interpolate the motion. It's rough and ready but it works. <br />
<br />
<br />
Motion Trackers/Rotoscoping apps are best and ideal if your clip is long and the object is moving all over the place. Here are a few in no particular order: <br />

==How do I create a widescreen matte?==<br />
<br />
'''From Ben King''' <br><br />
<br />
Create a new sequence and drop your timeline into that and apply the widescreen mask. <br />
Top Menu: Effects>Video Effects>Matte>Widescreen <br />
Right or control click the nested sequence and open it in the viewer, select Filters tab and alter to 1.78:1 <br />
<br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Derek Mok'''<br> <br />
<br />
Create a black Color Matte using Generator. Apply a Mask Shape filter to it (Effects - Video Filters - Matte - Mask Shape), then use the following settings:<br> <br />
<br />
*Rectangular<br> <br />
*Horizontal 100 <br><br />
*Vertical [Variable] (If I remember right, 80 will give you a 1.66:1 matte, 75.2 will give you 1.78:1, 72 will give you 1.85:1)<br> <br />
*Invert CHECKED<br> <br />
<br />
Now rename the Color Matte to "1.85 Widescreen Matte" and drag it into your Browser. Put that on a video track above your clips and it will matte your whole sequence to around the equivalent of a 1.85 Widescreen Matte letterbox. To temporarily remove it to save rendering time, just select it and press CONTROL-B. It's a lot easier than putting on 100 Widescreen Matte filters, and much more convenient than nesting. <br />
<br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
Use two identical colour mattes - one at the top and one at the bottom of the picture. Using this method means you can have different colours top and bottom if required. <br />
<br />
Or crop one clip top and bottom to suit, which will expose the back 'behind' the clip on the timeline, then copy the clip. Next, select the entire timeline (apple a) then use 'paste attributes' (option v) and tick the 'crop' box to apply the crop to all the selected clips in one hit. <br />
<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Nick Meyers'''<br> <br />
<br />
If you create the same widescreen matte in Photoshop, rendering times are even shorter. <br />
<br />
<br />
Here's a way to create a wide screen mask in FCP. Lay up two slugs on V2 and V3, (one at the top of the screen and one at the bottom) then make the V1 clip invisible (select, and control b). The screen will be black, of course, but you can check that it really is a wide screen mask by switching your canvas to checkerboard background. (no real need to do this, but it's re-assuring, and looks cool). <br />
<br />
<br />
Now make a freeze frame of this. (Shift N), drag the freeze in to your browser. It's a widescreen mask! <br />
<br />
<br />
Once you've made the mask, you can set it to any duration you like just by entering a number in the viewer's duration field.<br />

You can find it here : [http://www.bbalser.com/samples/freedownloads/CartoonTutorial.mov Achieving a Quick and Easy Cartoon Look]. '''Nick Meyers''' adds : One thing I'd add to make it a little bit more "graphic" would be a strobe filter with strobe setting of 2 to make it look like it's animated on twos (2 frames shot of each image). <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Mike Watson'''<br> <br />
<br />
I did this with photoshop a few weeks ago, and then turned the image sequence into a QT movie with QT-Pro. Certainly not the easiest way, but for a :30 commercial, it's only 900 frames -- just set up an action, and automate it. <br />
<br />
I followed this tutorial : [http://www.macmerc.com/articles/Graphics_Tips/209 Comic Art Effect] <br />
<br />
And then swiped this action: [http://www.macmerc.com/articles/Graphics_Tips/295 Adobe Photoshop Tip: Comic Art Effect -- Photoshop Action] and modified it pretty extensively.<br> <br />
<br />
There is a setting in photoshop that will open one image, perform the action, save the image, and open the next image. I think mine only took a few hours. Perfecting the action took days. :-) <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Johan Polhem'''<br> <br />
Best and easiest way to get good results: <br />

*Import footage into After Effects.<br> <br />
*Export as Filmstrip. <br><br />

*Apply filters. (Many many different combos to chosse from) <br><br />
*Tweak individual frames if necessary. <br><br />
*Save. <br><br />

==How do I get symbols, accents & international characters?==<br />
<br />
'''From Ben King''' <br />
<br />
If you want specific characters and/or accents go into: <br />
<br />
*System Preferences>(Personal) International>Input Menu <br />
<br />
*Then check the Character Palette On. This should give you access to the Character Palette from the Flag in top right corner of the menu bar. <br />
<br />
* Simply line up your cursor in the document you wish to add the character to <br />
<br />
*Open the character palette and double click the one you require. This should insert it into your document. <br />
<br />
<br />
You can access some accents via keystrokes too. <br />
'''Please note''' that on some keyboards the option key is labeled 'alt'. On a Mac keyboard it's the key between the control key and the 'apple' key at the bottom left of the keyboard. If you can't find an option key on your keyboard, substitute the 'alt' key. <br />
<br />
Some of the standard keystrokes for accents/characters are: <br />
<br />
*To get an Acute Accent ´ is option+e then the letter eg: á é í ó ú <br />
<br />
*To get a Grave Accent ` is option+~(tilde key) eg: à è ì ò ù <br />
<br />
*To get an Umlaut or Dieresis ¨ is option+u then the letter eg: ä ë ï ö ü <br />
<br />
*To get a Circumflex ^ is option+i the the letter eg: â ê î ô û <br />
<br />
*To get a Tilde over letters ~ is option+n the the letter eg: ã õ <br />
<br />
*To get a cedilla ç is option+c <br />
<br />
*To get ø is option+o <br />
<br />
*To get ß is option+s <br />
<br />
*To get © is option+g <br />
<br />
*To get ® is option+r <br />
<br />
*To get å is option+a <br />
<br />
*To get a ™ is option+2 <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Derek Mok:''' <br><br />
*To get a ¡ (Spanish exclamation) is option+1 <br />
*To get a ¿ (Spanish question mark) is option+shift+/ <br />
*To get a © (copyright symbol) is option+g <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Loren MIller'''<br> <br />
*Shift-Option-8 = degrees ° <br />
*Shift-Option-2 - Euro € (at least in some fonts) <br />

==My effects/titles look terrible once they are on the timeline in Final Cut==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
There are some fundamental differences between a computer monitor and a television monitor which mean that you cannot accurately judge the quality of things like titles, effects and colour on your computer once they have been prepared for television. For accuracy, you must use a properly calibrated external broadcast monitor. For a rough (non-professional) guide, you can use a TV set. <br />
<br />
To connect an external monitor, you can use the output of your deck or camera (computer > firewire > deck / camera > external monitor), or a third party card. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that could help''' :<br> <br />
* You can also export a QuickTime movie, enable High Quality playback in the QuickTime Player and see it there. <br><br />
* Or export to tape and play this on a television to check that everything is OK. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that it could be''' :<br><br />
* Make sure that your graphics are placed on whole numbers in the motion tab. <br><br />
* Don’t build your graphics too large. Massively reducing the size of graphics in FCP reduces the quality. Try to stay within two times the size of your format unless you have a special requirement for a big zoom in. <br><br />
* Make sure you are fully rendered in SAFE RT <br />

==Boris Filters not showing in FCP 5.1 and up==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
Some Boris products running on FCP 5.1 or OS X.4 (Tiger) require a patch from the Boris website. You can find them here : [http://www.borisfx.com/updates/ Boris FX Updates] <br />
<br />
The Boris CC patch has an additional step required to make the filters visible, and some caveats for use. This is from the Boris CC 5.1. patch readme file. <br />
<br />
<br />
Known Limitations <br />
<br />
This software patch includes the following limitations. The engineers at Boris FX are working closely with the Final Cut Pro Engineering team to resolve the issues listed in this section. <br />
In the meantime, we recommend that you save your work often, and place the CTI over any <br />
clip to which you are applying an effect. <br />
<br />
<br />
* The first time you launch FCP 5.1 after installing your Boris software, you must turn on Caps Lock while you do so; then, quit FCP and relaunch it with Caps Lock turned off. Otherwise, the filter windows will not appear. If you have already launched FCP 5.1 for the first time with the Caps Lock key up, follow the instructions in the next section, “Deleting the FCP Object Cache.” <br />
* If you apply a filter with the Filters tab open, you must have Caps Lock down and place the CTI over the clip; otherwise the custom controls will be missing and Final Cut Pro may crash. <br />
<br />
* If you apply an effect using the Final Cut Pro Effects menu, then delete the effect and apply it to the same clip again, FCP crashes. Once you have deleted a Red effect, put the Caps Lock key down, and then reapply the effect; then resume work with the Caps Lock key up. <br />
<br />
* (Caps Lock key Down) When you double click a clip with a filter applied to it, FCP may crash if the Filters tab is open in the FCP Viewer. Keep the Caps Lock key up to prevent this problem. <br />
<br />
* (Caps Lock key Up) If you double click a clip with a filter applied, and the clip is not under the CTI and the Filters tab is open in the FCP Viewer, the custom controls may be black. To resolve this problem, quit and relaunch FCP. To prevent the problem, move the CTI over the clip before double clicking. <br />
<br />
* If you apply a filter, and the FCP Playhead is not on the clip that the filter is applied to, the custom controls will be blank. To avoid this problem, first move the Playhead to the clip. Quitting FCP and relaunching will also resolve this problem. Note that once a particular effect is missing custom controls, further instances of that effect in a session will also be missing the custom controls. <br />
<br />
* If the Final Cut Pro Obj Cache and Final Cut Pro Prof Cache files are deleted or cleared, when a filter is added to a clip, its user interface will not appear. To resolve this problem, follow steps 3 and 4 in the next section, Deleting the FCP Caches. <br />
<br />
* If you experience unexplained crashes, follow the instructions in the next section for Deleting the Final Cut Pro Obj Cache and Final Cut Pro Prof Cache files. Be sure to restart FCP twice, once with the Caps Lock key down, and then again with it up, as described in steps 3 and 4. <br />
<br />
<br />
Keep an eye on the Boris website.<br />

==Is there a codec that handles Alpha Channels without the need to render?==<br />

No (not software only). Maybe with a specific Capture Card, like Kona or Black Magic might have a built-in key accelerator, but a (software) codec by itself will need to be rendered. <br />

==My footage is underexposed==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
There are a number of things you can do to improve the brightness of your picture. You can use the three way colour corrector to adjust your blacks, mids and whites, you can use the gamma correction filter, or the brightness and contrast filter, or the levels filter and so on. <br />
<br />
<br />
Most of these methods will introduce some grain if your footage is very dark. One way around this is to select the clip, hold option and shift and drag the clip upwards to V2. This makes an exact copy and keeps it in perfect sync with the dark clip on V1. <br />
<br />
<br />
Then select the clip on V2 and right click or control click it to access a small popup menu. In this menu, select composite mode > Add, Screen or Overlay. If this makes your image too bright, reduce the opacity of the V2 clip. If the clip is still too dark, repeat the procedure on V3 and so on as required. <br />
<br />
<br />
An important thing to note is that computer monitors do not give accurate representations of the gamma and chroma levels of video. The picture in FCP on a computer monitor is quite a bit darker than your picture will appear on a television, so be sure to check your work on a broadcast monitor before making adjustments to brightness or colour.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Strypes'''<br> <br />
<br />
Aside from the built-in FCP 3-way Color Corrector, there's also a fabulous (and free) FCP plug-in from Lyric Media. Great for lifting those shadows, especially if you just want that extra bit of control in bringing back some of the details in the darker spots without affecting the overall image.<br />

==My footage is overexposed==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
It’s possible that your footage is unsalvageable. Overexposed DV is very difficult to work with. Having said that, here are some things that may help a bit. <br />
<br />
*Add a ‘Gamma Correction’ filter and try increasing the gamma. Keep in mind that everything in the frame will get darker, unless you use a mask on a copy on a separate layer. <br />
<br />
*Investigate the Three Way Colour Correction tool. Using the 'Limit Effects' section (which is in a menu exposed by clicking the small black triangle at the bottom left of the 3 way colour corrector) you can make a mask that includes everything at a single, or several close luminances, and therefore just work with this part of the picture. Check your manual for instructions, or, if you are keen, buy an instructional book or DVD on Colour Correction in FCP.<br />

'''From Strypes'''<br> <br />
<br />
Pistolera has a plug-in (that's free too), called the Captain's Blowout Fixer. It takes the information from either the Red, Green or Blue channel and uses it in the channel that is clipped. Very useful.<br />

==How do I color correct my clips?==<br />
<br />
'''From Nick Meyers''' <br />
<br />
Nick's short course on colour correcting: <br />
<br />
It's easy. Just like your hi-fi amp at home has bass and treble knobs, for adjusting different parts on the sound, the FCP colour corrector has Controls for BLACKS, MIDS, and HIGHS. <br />
<br />
<br />
If the colour is WAY off, use the eye droppers next to each colour wheel to "normalize" the blacks, grays, and whites. I find I might only use the eyedropper on the blacks, then save the other colours for later, unless they are way off. In general, though DON'T mess with the colours first. Adjust the levels first; that's the sliders under the colour wheels. I do blacks first. I like a good dynamic range to the levels, with the blacks black and the whites bright. But that's just me, and <br />
that's just a look I like. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
Pull the slider one way, then another. See how it affects the DARK areas of the shot, just like the Bass knob on your amp affects the LOW tones in the music. I then do the whites and mids, or sometimes the mids and whites. I have the range check on in the canvas so I can see if I need to pull the whites down a bit (red zebra and exclamation point in canvas). Play with these levels, and see what effect they have. <br />
<br />
<br />
Once I'm happy with the levels, and the dynamic range of the brightness/contrast I attack the colours. Again VERY SIMPLE. I generaly start with the mids (especialy if I eye-dropered the blacks). Look at the colours. You want more RED, drag the button in the middle of the wheel towards RED. If you want Less RED drag it away from RED. See, simple. Tip: hold down the Apple or Command key when dragging these buttons, otherwise they will move tooooo slooooow <br><br />
<br />
<br />
See the little line in the orange area of the wheel? Thats a good place to aim for to warm up skin tones, especially with DV footage. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
Look at the blacks.. can you see a bit of blue (for instance) in there? Find the similar blue tone in the black's wheel and pull the button away from it. <br><br />

==How do I create Typewriter Text==<br />
<br />
'''From Tom Wolsky''' <br />
<br />
Use Title 3D and animate the type on function. Scroll down in the controls and you'll see Type. Keyframe the values from 0 to 100. It will type on between the keyframed areas then then sit there for the rest of the text block, however long you make it in the timeline.<br />

==How do I capture four (or more) tracks of audio at once?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br />
<br />
Assuming you are capturing via Firewire, <br />
<br />
* Go to Audio Video Settings> Capture Presets <br />
* Click Edit <br />
<br />
From the QuickTime Audio Settings > Input, you can choose to : <br />
<br />
* Capture the first two channels <br><br />
* Capture the second two channels <br><br />
* Capture mix of four channels <br><br />
<br />
Mixed you can do in one pass and you still wind up with two audio tracks mixed down. <br><br />
<br />
Two pass you will have all four channels on separate tracks, but you would capture the first two normally, then change it to the second two channels. <br />
<br />
<br />
Another way from '''Martin Baker:''' <br><br />
<br />
Up to 24 channel audio capture is supported as of FCP 5. Most capture cards support up to 8 channels of embedded audio through SDI (though Kona 3 offers up to 16 channels of embedded). I'm not aware of any capture cards which offer more than 8 AES or analogue inputs. <br />
<br />
<br />
So depending on how many channels you want to capture, the other possibility is to use a separate audio interface such as MOTU or RME. If the interface has Core Audio drivers available then it should appear as a device in FCP's Capture Preset Editor. There may be A/V sync issues with this method although if you can genlock the audio interface then I would imagine it would work fine. <br />
<br />
<br />
I doubt there is anyone who has ever tried this but in theory it would work.<br />

==I hear popping & clicking sounds==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br><br />
<br />
You will hear these sounds if there is a mismatch between the clip audio format and the sequence audio format. Most commonly this happens when attempting to use MP3s. The best thing to do is to convert the files to 48khz AIFFs, and import these to work with in FCP. You can do this either in iTunes or QuickTime. <br />
<br />
<br />
* In iTunes go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > and select the ‘Importing’ tab. <br />
* Then set ‘Import Using’ to ‘AIFF Encoder’, ‘Setting’ to ‘Custom’, ‘Sample Rate’ to 48.000kHz, ‘Sample Size’ to ‘16 bit’ and ‘Channels’ to ‘Stereo’. <br />
* Find your tracks in the iTunes Library and select ‘Convert’ from the ‘Advanced’ menu. <br><br />
<br />
This option is best if you need to batch convert a lot of songs. <br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
* In QuickTime, open the file and choose File > Export. <br />
* Change the ‘Export’ setting at the bottom of the window to ‘Sound to AIFF’. <br />
* Click on ‘Options’ and check that the settings are correct. Then save to the location of your choice. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that could help:'''<br />
*Before you output your sequence to a movie file or to tape, you must perform an Audio Mixdown. This does not mix all your audio tracks to two tracks; it merely serves as an audio render for the entire timeline - it creates a single preview file that is less stressful for the computer to play. You can find this in FCP under Render > Only > Mixdown.<br />

==Imported songs from a CD==<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
If you imported some songs from a CD and it worked at first, but now the files are missing and won't play, it's probably because <br />
FCP (on OSX) does not automatically create a file on your hard drive during import. Instead, it makes a "dependent" or "reference" clip to the CD. <br />
<br />
<br />
This means that once you eject the CD, FCP no longer has access to the audio file. To ensure that you always have access to the file for use in FCP, you must convert any CD tracks to AIFFs and store them in your computer before importing them into FCP. <br />
<br />
<br />
To do this: <br><br />
* In iTunes go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > select the ‘Importing’ tab. <br />
* Then set ‘Import Using’ to ‘AIFF Encoder’, ‘Setting’ to ‘Custom’, ‘Sample Rate’ to 48.000kHz, ‘Sample Size’ to ‘16 bit’ and ‘Channels’ to ‘Stereo’. <br><br />
* Find your tracks on the CD and select ‘Convert’ from the ‘Advanced’ menu. <br><br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
*In QuickTime, open the file and choose File > Export. <br />
* Change the ‘Export’ setting at the bottom of the window to ‘Sound to AIFF’. <br />
* Click on ‘Options’ and check that the settings are correct. Then save to the location of your choice. <br />
<br />
<br />
Then import the files you have created into FCP. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that it could be:'''<br><br />
*If you did all this before importing the files and they‘ve still gone missing, it could be that the name of the files has been changed on the hard drive, so that FCP no longer recognises them as the correct files. Either change the names of the files back to what they were, or reconnect them in FCP by deselecting ‘Matched name only’ in the reconnect dialogue box.<br />

==Why do I hear beeping?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
The beeping noise is the audio render alert. It means that you need to render your audio. A normal render should do this, as long as you have ‘Audio’ checked under Sequence > ‘Render Selection’ and/or ‘Render All’. <br />
<br />
<br />
Also, from '''Nick Meyers''' <br><br />
Increase your Real Time Audio Mixing track allocation in User Preferences to perhaps 16 tracks rather than the default 8.<br />

==Some sections of my audio are missing or sputtering==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br><br />
Probably, your computer has reached the limit of what it is able to display in real time. You may find that your video also starts to splutter after a while. What you need to do is to reduce the pressure on the system by doing an 'Audio Mixdown'. This creates a single stereo preview file for FCP to play when you watch your timeline. This is not the same as an audio render. <br />
<br />
<br />
Doing this does not actually mix all your audio together - all your audio is still separated exactly as you have designed it to be - there is just a single extra file that represents what audio decisions you have made. If you change anything in the audio, you will need to do the Audio mixdown again. Fortunately, this is quite quick. <br />
<br />
<br />
To do an audio mixdown, go to Render > Only > Audio Mixdown. <br />
<br />
<br />
If the Audio mixdown starts to become too tedious, you need to reduce the pressure on your system further (or get more RAM, a bigger computer etc). Try exporting sections of your work that are locked-off to self contained Quicktime movies and re-importing them to use in place of the more complicated parts of your timeline.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that it could be:''' <br><br />
*Your audio is actually missing. Check your original files and tapes. <br />
*You have accidentally turned off or deleted a part of your audio. Check that everything appears normal on the timeline. <br />
<br />
<br />
Also<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Loren Miller'''<br />
<br />
Sometimes when you play back a properly captured and edited DV 48K timeline or Print to Video via Firewire, while utilizing FireWire drives going to a FireWire deck, you can encounter an unrepairable audio dropout - usually at a consistent point in the timeline - even though you can see waveforms, and audio signal registers on the meters!! <br />
<br />
<br />
In these cases, you may be encountering a FireWire "perfect storm"-- a brief and utterly annoying conflict between DV from your drives and DV signal from/to the deck. I've experienced it on a Dual 800 G4 with 1.5 GB RAM, OSX 10.4.8, FCP 5.1.2, QuickTime 7.1.5 with a Sony DSR-40 attached. Your milage may vary with newer machines and so far as I know, it's only a DV issue. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you're really experiencing the Perfect Storm, nothing you attempt to fix it will work. Moving a long master clip to another drive won't help. Moving your drive plugs and deck plug around won't help. Re-capturing the "trouble spot(s)" won't help-- the data remains the same-- it conflicts somehow in the sequence or pipeline. Trashing your prefs, POA caches and other settings won't help. This is a systemic disorder. So save time! <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Apple's Final Cut Pro 6 User Manual''' - <br />
<br />
"Certain DV camcorders cannot be connected to a computer while a FireWire disk drive is connected simultaneously. In many cases, you can improve performance by installing a separate FireWire PCI card to connect your FireWire drive." <br />
<br />
<br />
As indicated, this doesn't always work either. If you're playing out to a FireWire deck (such as a Sony DSR-20, 25, 40 or 45, etc) turn off the deck connection (Command F12- Toggle External Video), and try to play the timeline strictly on your computer speakers and screen. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you confirm the audio is actually there, and playing normally, export the sequence (either reference or self-contained Final Cut Pro movie-- both work) and play it to your deck via Apple's [http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/SimpleVideoOut/index.html SimpleVideoOut] utility. It's a lean and mean play-out app used to demonstrate QuickTime playback using several protocols, including FireWire. In my non-engineering opinion, something in SVO works where something in Final Cut Pro's FireWire pipeline is munging data! <br />
<br />
<br />
It may save your day. Then think about moving your media drives to eSata.<br />

==I'm having sync problems==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br><br />
<br />
If you're playing back to an external monitor, you must also listen to the sound with an external playback device. If you're watching the image on the Viewer or Canvas, then you must listen to the sound on the computer's Built-In Audio option under Audio/Video Settings, or by turning View - External Video off (at which point Built-In Audio will kick in). If you're watching external video, for example FireWire from the computer to a deck to a monitor/TV, then you must monitor sound from the deck or the monitor/TV. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that it could be:''' <br><br />
Have you accidentally slipped the sync in the timeline? Check the original clip against the version on the timeline. You may see a small set of red numbers on the out of sync clips. This number is a guide to how far off sync you have moved. To fix this, right click or control-click an out-of-sync indicator to reveal a shortcut menu with several options. <br />
<br />
<br />
‘Move into Sync’ moves the selected track so that its In point syncs with that of the associated track. Make sure you have enough room on the timeline for the track to move into. You can also just select the out of sync clip and type the number indicated in the red boxes. Make sure to add a minus if you need the clip to move backwards. <br />

==No audio from movie file (MPEG) after I import==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br><br />
MPEG-1 and some other compressed codecs use ‘muxed’ or ‘multiplexed’ audio, which means that the audio is mixed in with the video. FCP does not like this. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
To check for muxing, open the clip in QuickTime Player and press APPLE-J. Check the Sound Track. If you see the words "Muxed Track", the clip needs to be 'demuxed' before it can be used for editing. You can do this with [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html MPEGStreamclip] <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that it could be'''<br> <br />
*If you have external speakers, check that these are turned on and set up correctly. Make sure your mixer, if any, is on and that everything is securely connected. <br><br />
*Try restarting FCP. <br><br />
*If all else fails, try trashing your preferences to restore the factory settings. Instructions on how to do this can be found here : [http://www.lafcpug.org/Tutorials/basic_trash_prefs5.html How to trash your preferences], or you can use [http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm Preference Manager] which will restore user-defined settings. <br />

==How can I get rid of background noise?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry''' <br><br />
<br />
The best way is to not record it in the first place! Get the mic close by using a lavaliere or a shotgun mounted on a boom-pole positioned right above the talent by an alert boom operator. Turn off the heat or AC and use sound-deadening materials to block noise and sound reflection. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
If it's too late for that, try these techniques (using good speakers or headphones): <br><br />
* Use the graphic equalizer audio filter in FCP to attenuate frequencies outside the voice range (below 100hz and above around 5000hz).<br> <br />
* Use the Expander/Noise Gate audio filter in FCP to reduce the volume of the quiet sections of your audio. This makes the presence of noise less noticeable, although if overdone it can sound like the noise is pumping up and down. <br />
* Use a commercial noise reduction product like [http://www.bias-inc.com/products/soundSoap2/ Bias SoundSoap] These products apply a sophisticated analysis of the noise, then reduce it by using the above techniques along with more esoteric approaches such as frequency cancellation. <br />
* Add in some bed-level music, or even some room ambience sound, to mask the noise. <br />
<br />
<br />
Audio post-production is an art and science unto itself, so don't expect to win an Oscar with the audio tools available within FCP. For further information, see: [http://www.bias-inc.com/products/soundSoap2/ SoundSoap], [http://www.apple.com/support/soundtrackpro/ Soundtrack Pro] and [http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/audio_essentials_fcp_4.html Optimizing Audio in FCP 4] <br />
<br />
<br />
For those thinking of going down the Soundtrack Pro path here's '''Wayne Grazin's''' Soundtrack Pro noise reduction workflow :<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Noise minimizing in Soundtrack is a breeze.''' <br />
<br />
* Open your movie with Soundtrack Pro. <br />
* Locate and highlight a section of the clip that ONLY has the noise. <br />
* Under PROCESS, pull down to SET NOISE PRINT. <br />
* FILE > SELECT ALL (not sure if this is required, but i find it easier to judge the results) <br />
* Hit the spacebar to play the sound. <br />
* Under PROCESS, pull down to REDUCE NOISE... and play with the values until you like what you hear. i generally find it sufficient to just adjust the top "noise threshold" slider. <br />
* Hit APPLY when you like what you hear. <br />
<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that although this is an exceptionally good noice reducer for the money - and it can work miracles with moderately bad audio, there is only so much it can do without negatively effecting the desired sound as well.<br />

==Boosting audio levels==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
At the bottom left of your timeline there is a small button that looks like a mountain range. This is the 'Toggle Clip Overlays' button. Click this to turn it on. You should now see a pink line running through the middle of all of your audio tracks on the timeline. With your arrow tool selected, you can grab this line and shift it up and down to adjust your sound levels. <br />
<br />
<br />
You can also see and adjust your levels in the Viewer by double clicking your audio clip to load it into the viewer. Here you can make adjustments either in the same way as you did on the timeline, or numerically. There are also menu options and keyboard shortcuts for adjusting the levels. Look under Modify > Levels and Modify > Audio. <br />
<br />
<br />
On top of all this, there is an Audio Mixer in FCP that you can access via Tools > Audio Mixer, or by selecting Window > Arrange > Audio Mixing. <br />
<br />
<br />
If, after you have raised these levels to their limits, the sound is still too low, there are a couple of things you can do. <br />
<br />
<br />
One simple method is to duplicate the clip and double it up on another audio line, so that you have two, or four or more lines of the exact same clip running at the same time. To do this, select the clip you need, hold option and shift, and drag the clip up or down into an empty space on your timeline. Holding option causes the clip to become duplicated, and holding shift keeps the audio in line (and therefore in sync) with the clip it has been duplicated from. This is endlessly repeatable, so you could, given nesting, have an infinite number of duplicates of your audio clip. <br />
<br />
<br />
For users who are more proficient with sound and want more scope to manipulate their audio, you may want to explore '''SoundTrack Pro''', which comes with FCP Studio. <br />

'''From Derek Mok''' <br />
<br />
Use Effects - Audio Filters - Apple - AUDynamicsProcessor. The Gain option will allow you to add up to 40dB of boost on top of the 12dB provided within the clip. If 52dB of gain can't make your audio high enough, then your original audio is almost certainly unusable.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Strypes''' <br />
<br />
In FCP 6, a Gain option has been added. It's in Effects - Audio Filters - Final Cut Pro - Gain.<br />

==Understanding Voice Processing==<br />
<br />
'''From Strypes''' <br><br />
<br />
We usually hear sounds as a complex sonic envelope, which largely consists of fundamental frequencies, a series of harmonics, and additional reflected sounds. Depending on the acoustics of the room, some frequencies are more easily absorbed or lost into the environment, the further we are from the source. Sound perspective of a voice in a large room heard from a distance, could include a reduction of high frequencies, a higher amount of reverb, and a softer mix of the person's direct sound.<br />
<br />
<br />
To equalize a voice, it is important to understand what frequency ranges constitute the different components of a voice. Fundamental frequencies of a voices starts at around 85Hz for bassy male voices and an octave higher (around 200Hz) for women. Speaking ranges are generally between 150-500Hz, nasal frequencies around 2kHz, presence around 5kHz, sibilence 8kHz to 12kHz. Crispness is added above 16kHz. Equalizer treatments differ on a case by case basis, as it relies heavily on what the source material is, how the voice was captured, etc. <br />
<br />
<br />
A general EQ treatment of a close mic-ed interview (lapel mics strapped on a chest) would include cutting the low frequencies- a low shelving EQ below 100Hz, a low EQ cut centered around 200Hz to 300Hz to remove proximity effect. As well as a slight boost at the nasal range centered around 2kHz to improve clarity. And if situations allow, a boost around 5-6khz to help reshape the sound slightly.<br />
<br />
<br />
For location recordings, occasionally line rate hums from on location broadcast monitors may be captured. The high pitched sound from the monitors are caused by line rates which can be eliminated by a sharp parametric EQ cut at 15.734kHz for NTSC (525 lines x 29.97fps) and 15.625kHz for PAL (625 lines x 25fps).<br />
<br />
<br />
Additional audio treatment on vocals also include Compressors to limit the dynamic range of the voice; Multiband Compressors and Limiters which are usually used in mastering; Reverb for sonic perspective; Noise Gates, Expanders and De-Noisers to reduce noise.<br />

'''From Strypes''' <br><br />
<br />
A unique nonmenclature adopted by Apple. On Stereo linked clips, "-1" refers to a full stereo spread on stereo linked tracks with the first track panned extreme left and the second track panned extreme right; "0" refers to both tracks being centred (also known as a "Mono" setting); "1" inverses the stereo fields, with the first track panned extreme right and the second track panned extreme left.<br />
<br />
On Mono clips, "-1" pans the clip onto the left speaker, "0" centers the clip on the stereo spectrum, "1" pans the clip onto the right speaker.<br><br />

==How do I capture four (or more) tracks of audio at once?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br />
<br />
Assuming you are capturing via Firewire, <br />
<br />
* Go to Audio Video Settings> Capture Presets <br />
* Click Edit <br />
<br />
From the QuickTime Audio Settings > Input, you can choose to : <br />
<br />
* Capture the first two channels <br><br />
* Capture the second two channels <br><br />
* Capture mix of four channels <br><br />
<br />
Mixed you can do in one pass and you still wind up with two audio tracks mixed down. <br><br />
<br />
Two pass you will have all four channels on separate tracks, but you would capture the first two normally, then change it to the second two channels. <br />
<br />
<br />
Another way from '''Martin Baker:''' <br><br />
<br />
Up to 24 channel audio capture is supported as of FCP 5. Most capture cards support up to 8 channels of embedded audio through SDI (though Kona 3 offers up to 16 channels of embedded). I'm not aware of any capture cards which offer more than 8 AES or analogue inputs. <br />
<br />
<br />
So depending on how many channels you want to capture, the other possibility is to use a separate audio interface such as MOTU or RME. If the interface has Core Audio drivers available then it should appear as a device in FCP's Capture Preset Editor. There may be A/V sync issues with this method although if you can genlock the audio interface then I would imagine it would work fine. <br />
<br />
<br />
I doubt there is anyone who has ever tried this but in theory it would work.<br />

==I hear popping & clicking sounds==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br><br />
<br />
You will hear these sounds if there is a mismatch between the clip audio format and the sequence audio format. Most commonly this happens when attempting to use MP3s. The best thing to do is to convert the files to 48khz AIFFs, and import these to work with in FCP. You can do this either in iTunes or QuickTime. <br />
<br />
<br />
* In iTunes go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > and select the ‘Importing’ tab. <br />
* Then set ‘Import Using’ to ‘AIFF Encoder’, ‘Setting’ to ‘Custom’, ‘Sample Rate’ to 48.000kHz, ‘Sample Size’ to ‘16 bit’ and ‘Channels’ to ‘Stereo’. <br />
* Find your tracks in the iTunes Library and select ‘Convert’ from the ‘Advanced’ menu. <br><br />
<br />
This option is best if you need to batch convert a lot of songs. <br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
* In QuickTime, open the file and choose File > Export. <br />
* Change the ‘Export’ setting at the bottom of the window to ‘Sound to AIFF’. <br />
* Click on ‘Options’ and check that the settings are correct. Then save to the location of your choice. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that could help:'''<br />
*Before you output your sequence to a movie file or to tape, you must perform an Audio Mixdown. This does not mix all your audio tracks to two tracks; it merely serves as an audio render for the entire timeline - it creates a single preview file that is less stressful for the computer to play. You can find this in FCP under Render > Only > Mixdown.<br />

==Imported songs from a CD==<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
If you imported some songs from a CD and it worked at first, but now the files are missing and won't play, it's probably because <br />
FCP (on OSX) does not automatically create a file on your hard drive during import. Instead, it makes a "dependent" or "reference" clip to the CD. <br />
<br />
<br />
This means that once you eject the CD, FCP no longer has access to the audio file. To ensure that you always have access to the file for use in FCP, you must convert any CD tracks to AIFFs and store them in your computer before importing them into FCP. <br />
<br />
<br />
To do this: <br><br />
* In iTunes go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > select the ‘Importing’ tab. <br />
* Then set ‘Import Using’ to ‘AIFF Encoder’, ‘Setting’ to ‘Custom’, ‘Sample Rate’ to 48.000kHz, ‘Sample Size’ to ‘16 bit’ and ‘Channels’ to ‘Stereo’. <br><br />
* Find your tracks on the CD and select ‘Convert’ from the ‘Advanced’ menu. <br><br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
*In QuickTime, open the file and choose File > Export. <br />
* Change the ‘Export’ setting at the bottom of the window to ‘Sound to AIFF’. <br />
* Click on ‘Options’ and check that the settings are correct. Then save to the location of your choice. <br />
<br />
<br />
Then import the files you have created into FCP. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that it could be:'''<br><br />
*If you did all this before importing the files and they‘ve still gone missing, it could be that the name of the files has been changed on the hard drive, so that FCP no longer recognises them as the correct files. Either change the names of the files back to what they were, or reconnect them in FCP by deselecting ‘Matched name only’ in the reconnect dialogue box.<br />

==Why do I hear beeping?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
The beeping noise is the audio render alert. It means that you need to render your audio. A normal render should do this, as long as you have ‘Audio’ checked under Sequence > ‘Render Selection’ and/or ‘Render All’. <br />
<br />
<br />
Also, from '''Nick Meyers''' <br><br />
Increase your Real Time Audio Mixing track allocation in User Preferences to perhaps 16 tracks rather than the default 8.<br />

==Some sections of my audio are missing or sputtering==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br><br />
Probably, your computer has reached the limit of what it is able to display in real time. You may find that your video also starts to splutter after a while. What you need to do is to reduce the pressure on the system by doing an 'Audio Mixdown'. This creates a single stereo preview file for FCP to play when you watch your timeline. This is not the same as an audio render. <br />
<br />
<br />
Doing this does not actually mix all your audio together - all your audio is still separated exactly as you have designed it to be - there is just a single extra file that represents what audio decisions you have made. If you change anything in the audio, you will need to do the Audio mixdown again. Fortunately, this is quite quick. <br />
<br />
<br />
To do an audio mixdown, go to Render > Only > Audio Mixdown. <br />
<br />
<br />
If the Audio mixdown starts to become too tedious, you need to reduce the pressure on your system further (or get more RAM, a bigger computer etc). Try exporting sections of your work that are locked-off to self contained Quicktime movies and re-importing them to use in place of the more complicated parts of your timeline.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that it could be:''' <br><br />
*Your audio is actually missing. Check your original files and tapes. <br />
*You have accidentally turned off or deleted a part of your audio. Check that everything appears normal on the timeline. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
'''From Loren Miller'''<br />
<br />
Sometimes when you play back a properly captured and edited DV 48K timeline or Print to Video via Firewire, while utilizing FireWire drives going to a FireWire deck, you can encounter an unrepairable audio dropout - usually at a consistent point in the timeline - even though you can see waveforms, and audio signal registers on the meters!! <br />
<br />
<br />
In these cases, you may be encountering a FireWire "perfect storm"-- a brief and utterly annoying conflict between DV from your drives and DV signal from/to the deck. I've experienced it on a Dual 800 G4 with 1.5 GB RAM, OSX 10.4.8, FCP 5.1.2, QuickTime 7.1.5 with a Sony DSR-40 attached. Your milage may vary with newer machines and so far as I know, it's only a DV issue. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you're really experiencing the Perfect Storm, nothing you attempt to fix it will work. Moving a long master clip to another drive won't help. Moving your drive plugs and deck plug around won't help. Re-capturing the "trouble spot(s)" won't help-- the data remains the same-- it conflicts somehow in the sequence or pipeline. Trashing your prefs, POA caches and other settings won't help. This is a systemic disorder. So save time! <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Apple's Final Cut Pro 6 User Manual''' - <br />
<br />
"Certain DV camcorders cannot be connected to a computer while a FireWire disk drive is connected simultaneously. In many cases, you can improve performance by installing a separate FireWire PCI card to connect your FireWire drive." <br />
<br />
<br />
As indicated, this doesn't always work either. If you're playing out to a FireWire deck (such as a Sony DSR-20, 25, 40 or 45, etc) turn off the deck connection (Command F12- Toggle External Video), and try to play the timeline strictly on your computer speakers and screen. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you confirm the audio is actually there, and playing normally, export the sequence (either reference or self-contained Final Cut Pro movie-- both work) and play it to your deck via Apple's [http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/SimpleVideoOut/index.html SimpleVideoOut] utility. It's a lean and mean play-out app used to demonstrate QuickTime playback using several protocols, including FireWire. In my non-engineering opinion, something in SVO works where something in Final Cut Pro's FireWire pipeline is munging data! <br />
<br />
<br />
It may save your day. Then think about moving your media drives to eSata.<br />

==I'm having sync problems==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br><br />
<br />
If you're playing back to an external monitor, you must also listen to the sound with an external playback device. If you're watching the image on the Viewer or Canvas, then you must listen to the sound on the computer's Built-In Audio option under Audio/Video Settings, or by turning View - External Video off (at which point Built-In Audio will kick in). If you're watching external video, for example FireWire from the computer to a deck to a monitor/TV, then you must monitor sound from the deck or the monitor/TV. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that it could be:''' <br><br />
Have you accidentally slipped the sync in the timeline? Check the original clip against the version on the timeline. You may see a small set of red numbers on the out of sync clips. This number is a guide to how far off sync you have moved. To fix this, right click or control-click an out-of-sync indicator to reveal a shortcut menu with several options. <br />
<br />
<br />
‘Move into Sync’ moves the selected track so that its In point syncs with that of the associated track. Make sure you have enough room on the timeline for the track to move into. You can also just select the out of sync clip and type the number indicated in the red boxes. Make sure to add a minus if you need the clip to move backwards. <br />

==No audio from movie file (MPEG) after I import==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br><br />
MPEG-1 and some other compressed codecs use ‘muxed’ or ‘multiplexed’ audio, which means that the audio is mixed in with the video. FCP does not like this. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
To check for muxing, open the clip in QuickTime Player and press APPLE-J. Check the Sound Track. If you see the words "Muxed Track", the clip needs to be 'demuxed' before it can be used for editing. You can do this with [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html MPEGStreamclip] <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that it could be'''<br> <br />
*If you have external speakers, check that these are turned on and set up correctly. Make sure your mixer, if any, is on and that everything is securely connected. <br><br />
*Try restarting FCP. <br><br />
*If all else fails, try trashing your preferences to restore the factory settings. Instructions on how to do this can be found here : [http://www.lafcpug.org/Tutorials/basic_trash_prefs5.html How to trash your preferences], or you can use [http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm Preference Manager] , [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/fcpattic.html FCP Attic] all of which will restore user-defined settings. <br />

==How can I get rid of background noise?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry''' <br><br />
<br />
The best way is to not record it in the first place! Get the mic close by using a lavaliere or a shotgun mounted on a boom-pole positioned right above the talent by an alert boom operator. Turn off the heat or AC and use sound-deadening materials to block noise and sound reflection. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
If it's too late for that, try these techniques (using good speakers or headphones): <br><br />
* Use the graphic equalizer audio filter in FCP to attenuate frequencies outside the voice range (below 100hz and above around 5000hz).<br> <br />
* Use the Expander/Noise Gate audio filter in FCP to reduce the volume of the quiet sections of your audio. This makes the presence of noise less noticeable, although if overdone it can sound like the noise is pumping up and down. <br />
* Use a commercial noise reduction product like [http://www.bias-inc.com/products/soundSoap2/ Bias SoundSoap] These products apply a sophisticated analysis of the noise, then reduce it by using the above techniques along with more esoteric approaches such as frequency cancellation. <br />
* Add in some bed-level music, or even some room ambience sound, to mask the noise. <br />
<br />
<br />
Audio post-production is an art and science unto itself, so don't expect to win an Oscar with the audio tools available within FCP. For further information, see: [http://www.bias-inc.com/products/soundSoap2/ SoundSoap], [http://www.apple.com/support/soundtrackpro/ Soundtrack Pro] and [http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/audio_essentials_fcp_4.html Optimizing Audio in FCP 4] <br />
<br />
<br />
For those thinking of going down the Soundtrack Pro path here's '''Wayne Grazin's''' Soundtrack Pro noise reduction workflow :<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Noise minimizing in Soundtrack is a breeze.''' <br />
<br />
* Open your movie with Soundtrack Pro. <br />
* Locate and highlight a section of the clip that ONLY has the noise. <br />
* Under PROCESS, pull down to SET NOISE PRINT. <br />
* FILE > SELECT ALL (not sure if this is required, but i find it easier to judge the results) <br />
* Hit the spacebar to play the sound. <br />
* Under PROCESS, pull down to REDUCE NOISE... and play with the values until you like what you hear. i generally find it sufficient to just adjust the top "noise threshold" slider. <br />
* Hit APPLY when you like what you hear. <br />
<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that although this is an exceptionally good noice reducer for the money - and it can work miracles with moderately bad audio, there is only so much it can do without negatively effecting the desired sound as well.<br />

==Boosting audio levels==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
At the bottom left of your timeline there is a small button that looks like a mountain range. This is the 'Toggle Clip Overlays' button. Click this to turn it on. You should now see a pink line running through the middle of all of your audio tracks on the timeline. With your arrow tool selected, you can grab this line and shift it up and down to adjust your sound levels. <br />
<br />
<br />
You can also see and adjust your levels in the Viewer by double clicking your audio clip to load it into the viewer. Here you can make adjustments either in the same way as you did on the timeline, or numerically. There are also menu options and keyboard shortcuts for adjusting the levels. Look under Modify > Levels and Modify > Audio. <br />
<br />
<br />
On top of all this, there is an Audio Mixer in FCP that you can access via Tools > Audio Mixer, or by selecting Window > Arrange > Audio Mixing. <br />
<br />
<br />
If, after you have raised these levels to their limits, the sound is still too low, there are a couple of things you can do. <br />
<br />
<br />
One simple method is to duplicate the clip and double it up on another audio line, so that you have two, or four or more lines of the exact same clip running at the same time. To do this, select the clip you need, hold option and shift, and drag the clip up or down into an empty space on your timeline. Holding option causes the clip to become duplicated, and holding shift keeps the audio in line (and therefore in sync) with the clip it has been duplicated from. This is endlessly repeatable, so you could, given nesting, have an infinite number of duplicates of your audio clip. <br />
<br />
<br />
For users who are more proficient with sound and want more scope to manipulate their audio, you may want to explore '''SoundTrack Pro''', which comes with FCP Studio. <br />
<br />

<br />
'''From Derek Mok''' <br />
<br />
Use Effects - Audio Filters - Apple - AUDynamicsProcessor. The Gain option will allow you to add up to 40dB of boost on top of the 12dB provided within the clip. If 52dB of gain can't make your audio high enough, then your original audio is almost certainly unusable.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Strypes''' <br />
<br />
In FCP 6, a Gain option has been added. It's in Effects - Audio Filters - Final Cut Pro - Gain.<br />

==Understanding Voice Processing==<br />
<br />
'''From Strypes''' <br><br />
<br />
We usually hear sounds as a complex sonic envelope, which largely consists of fundamental frequencies, a series of harmonics, and additional reflected sounds. Depending on the acoustics of the room, some frequencies are more easily absorbed or lost into the environment, the further we are from the source. Sound perspective of a voice in a large room heard from a distance, could include a reduction of high frequencies, a higher amount of reverb, and a softer mix of the person's direct sound.<br />
<br />
<br />
To equalize a voice, it is important to understand what frequency ranges constitute the different components of a voice. Fundamental frequencies of a voices starts at around 85Hz for bassy male voices and an octave higher (around 200Hz) for women. Speaking ranges are generally between 150-500Hz, nasal frequencies around 2kHz, presence around 5kHz, sibilence 8kHz to 12kHz. Crispness is added above 16kHz. Equalizer treatments differ on a case by case basis, as it relies heavily on what the source material is, how the voice was captured, etc. <br />
<br />
<br />
A general EQ treatment of a close mic-ed interview (lapel mics strapped on a chest) would include cutting the low frequencies- a low shelving EQ below 100Hz, a low EQ cut centered around 200Hz to 300Hz to remove proximity effect. As well as a slight boost at the nasal range centered around 2kHz to improve clarity. And if situations allow, a boost around 5-6khz to help reshape the sound slightly.<br />
<br />
<br />
For location recordings, occasionally line rate hums from on location broadcast monitors may be captured. The high pitched sound from the monitors are caused by line rates which can be eliminated by a sharp parametric EQ cut at 15.734kHz for NTSC (525 lines x 29.97fps) and 15.625kHz for PAL (625 lines x 25fps).<br />
<br />
<br />
Additional audio treatment on vocals also include Compressors to limit the dynamic range of the voice; Multiband Compressors and Limiters which are usually used in mastering; Reverb for sonic perspective; Noise Gates, Expanders and De-Noisers to reduce noise.<br />
<br />

==Pans in Final Cut Pro==<br />
<br />
'''From Strypes''' <br><br />
<br />
A unique nonmenclature adopted by Apple. On Stereo linked clips, "-1" refers to a full stereo spread on stereo linked tracks with the first track panned extreme left and the second track panned extreme right; "0" refers to both tracks being centred (also known as a "Mono" setting); "1" inverses the stereo fields, with the first track panned extreme right and the second track panned extreme left.<br />
<br />
On Mono clips, "-1" pans the clip onto the left speaker, "0" centers the clip on the stereo spectrum, "1" pans the clip onto the right speaker.<br><br />

==I'm getting dropped frame warnings.==<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br />
<br />
The reasons for dropped frames are many and varied. It could be something simple and easy to fix, such as an incorrectly set canvas size, or it could be expensive and difficult, such as having your media stored on a drive that is too slow for the type of work you are doing, requiring you to buy different equipment and transfer all your media to that. <br />
<br />
<br />
A good places to start the hunt for your cause of dropped frames is the Apple Support site article [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1165 Final Cut Pro: Dropped Frames Causes and Solutions]<br />

<br />
From the Apple Support site 'Troubleshooting Basics' article , which can be found here : [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302337 Troubleshooting Basics] <br />
<br />
<br />
To [reinstall FCP] you need to remove the application and its receipts, then install Final Cut Pro and use Software Update to install additional updates. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Final Cut Pro. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Final Cut Pro. Note: Make sure that you have your installation discs and serial number handy before starting this. <br />
<br />
* Open the Applications folder.<br> <br />
* Drag the Final Cut Pro application to the Trash. <br> <br />
* Go to /Library/Receipts. <br> <br />
* In the Receipts folder, select the "FinalCutPro.pkg" file. <br> <br />
* Choose View > as List to view the contents in a list. <br> <br />
* Click the Date Modified column header so you can easily see all of the receipts that were installed at the same time as Final Cut Pro. <br> <br />
* Drag the FinalCutPro.pkg receipt to the Trash, as well as any other items that have the same modification date within 3 minutes of the FinalCutPro.pkg's modification date. <br> <br />
* Click the Name column header to sort the list alphabetically. <br> <br />
* Drag any other receipts whose names begin with "Final Cut Pro" to the Trash. <br> <br />
<br />
<br />
[To reinstall]<br />
* Insert your Final Cut Pro installation disc and install Final Cut Pro. <br> <br />
* When finished, use Software Update (under the Apple menu) to update your software to the latest version. <br> <br />

==FCP can't see my camera/deck after upgrade==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br />
<br />
This sometimes happens when you have upgraded to Tiger (OS 10.4) and/or QuickTime 7 and FCP 5.1. To get it working again, you need to remove your old QuickTime receipts. Step by step instructions on how to do this can be found here : [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852 Final Cut Pro: Restoring a DV device connection in QuickTime 7] <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that it could be:'''<br><br />
*Dust in the firewire connections : Quit FCP, make sure all the connections are free of dust, replace the cables and try again. <br><br />
*Broken firewire cable : Try using another firewire cable. <br><br />
*Fried Firewire card : Try connecting another device, such as an external firewire drive to test whether the firewire is working. <br><br />
*Incorrect patching : For testing purposes, remove all external devices connected to your computer except the keyboard, mouse and deck/camera. If you can capture with all external devices removed, check that the connection pathways of your devices (such as hubs) are correct. <br><br />
*Momentary tantrum : Shut down the computer, wait ten seconds and then try again.<br><br />

Make sure that your View > External Video is set to ‘All Frames’. Also, try clicking Apple-F12, which toggles the external video on and off. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Other things that it could be:''' <br />
*Make sure that all cables are connected securely and are not damaged. <br><br />
*Make sure that all external devices are connected and turned on before you open FCP. <br><br />
*Check that you haven’t left the Log and Capture window open. <br><br />
*It could be that you have zoomed in on your canvas or viewer. To fix this, go to the small button at the top middle of your canvas and viewer that has a percentage number in it. Click on this to change it to 'fit to view' or smaller.<br><br />
*Sometimes using View > Refresh A/V Devices can also help.<br><br />

==Why does my system seem slow or unresponsive?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry'''<br> <br />
<br />
Final Cut Pro, and working with video in general, requires your Mac to perform at the top edge of its capabilities. Here are some things to look for: <br />
<br />
<br />
*Make sure your Mac plenty of free disk space on all volumes. A rule of thumb is to have at least 10% free space on each partition. Your Mac makes use of free space to manage the large files involved in video processing and playback. When you have too little free space on a volume your Mac has to move chunks of data around to make space (kind of like those missing-piece puzzles) to store additional stuff. Then it has to read back from this disjointed mess. My experience is that if you keep sufficient free space on your volumes you do not need to worry about running defragmentation programs (which is a change from OS 9 and previous, where the Mac would run into fragmentation problems no matter what). <br />
<br />
<br />
*Shut down any unnecessary programs, especially programs that run in the background like anti-virus utilities (you can scan your Mac for viruses manually when you are not working with video). To see what processes are using resources on your mac, run the application "Process Viewer" in your Applications/Utilities folder. You will see a continually updated list of all the processes (a single program can run more than one process) sorted by CPU usage. You can research what each process is on google.com to help track down any unruly applications. <br />
<br />
<br />
*Turn off any settings that put your Mac or disks into sleep mode (System Preferences/Energy Saver). <br />
<br />
<br />
*Watch out for troublesome USB or Firewire devices. I have a cordless mouse that slows the whole system down when it is low on batteries. <br />
<br />
<br />
*Periodically you should "Repair Permissions" from the Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility). Also, your Mac runs certain maintenance tasks in the wee hours of the morning - if it is on. If you don't leave your Mac on continually, get a free copy of MacJanitor to run those tasks manually. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''If you have optimized these things and performance is still not where you need it, consider these upgrades:''' <br />
<br />
*Memory upgrades are probably the most bang for the buck in performance. Check your memory by selecting "About this Mac" from your Apple menu. Less than 1GB will definitely slow your performance; more is better. <br />
<br />
<br />
*Put in a new drive (internal) as your capture disk. Use this disk only for capture, then wipe it clean between projects. <br />
<br />
<br />
*Processor upgrades are expensive, and usually don't solve other performance bottlenecks. With lots of memory and disk space, the only place a slower processor will really show up is in render times. <br />

==FCP 5.1.2 crashes on start up==<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br />
<br />
Apparently there are some Quicktime components that conflict with FCP 5.1.2 and may prevent FCP from starting up. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''10/19/06 - UPDATE:''' Apple has just released a AppleCare doc stating that if you have more than 64 Quicktime Componoents installed, FCP 5.1.2 will fail to open. To work around this issue, you can remove or temporarily relocate some third-party components so that the total number of items in /Library/QuickTime/ is 63 or fewer. <br />
<br />
<br />
[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304477 Final Cut Pro 5 may fail to open with 64 or more QuickTime components installed] <br />
<br />
<br />
Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 : '''Some third-party QuickTime components may cause Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 to unexpectedly quit at while opening.''' <br />
<br />
<br />
A number of third-party companies develop QuickTime components (also sometimes referred to as plugins or codecs) that can enhance and extend the capabilities of QuickTime. In some cases, it's possible for Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 to encounter a conflict with a third-party component, preventing Final Cut Pro from starting normally. <br />
<br />
<br />
Affected Products : Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 <br />
<br />
Solution : If final Cut Pro is unexpectedly quitting while opening, check to see if you have any third-party QuickTime components installed. You can take the following steps to temporarily relocate your third-party components. This is a way to test whether they are causing a conflict with Final Cut Pro. <br />
<br />
* In Finder, navigate to /Library/QuickTime/.<br> <br />
* Drag any third-party (non-Apple) components to the desktop. <br />
<br />
<br />
Note: The following components are not third-party components; they are installed by Apple software, and should not be removed. <br />
<br />
*AppleHDVCodec.component <br> <br />
*AppleIntermediateCodec.component <br> <br />
*DVCPROHDCodec.component <br> <br />
*DVCPROHDMuxer.component <br> <br />
*DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component <br> <br />
*DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component <br> <br />
*DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component <br> <br />
*DVCPROHDVideoOutputCodec.component <br> <br />
*DesktopVideoOut.component <br> <br />
*FCP Uncompressed 422.component <br> <br />
*IMXCodec.component <br> <br />
*LiveType.component <br> <br />
*Motion.component <br> <br />
<br />
*If you're not sure whether a component is made by Apple or by a third party, you can check its version info to see if Apple made it. <br />
<br />
* Select the component in the Finder. <br> <br />
* Choose File > Get Info. <br> <br />
* In the Info window that appears, look at the Version info. <br> <br />
<br />
<br />
The components made by Apple will be marked with Apple copyright information. <br> <br />
<br />
<br />
If Final Cut Pro doesn't open normally after taking the steps listed above, then the issue you're seeing probably has a different cause than the one discussed here.<br> The document, [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302337 "Final Cut Pro Troubleshooting Basics"] is a good reference for general troubleshooting.<br />

==What maintenance should I do?==<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
Mac OS X is Unix based, and therefore runs its own maintenance programs in the wee hours of the morning and at other regularly scheduled times. If you tend to turn your computer off at night, these tests may not be being run. This is no cause for alarm. <br />

There are several good free applications you can get to run these tests whenever you like. One is [http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10491 MacJanitor]. Another good, but slightly more complex one is [http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070 Onyx]<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, you should repair your permissions periodically, although a good case can be made that this is a waste of time. To do this :<br />
* Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. <br />
* Select your hard drive in the left hand panel, then click on the First Aid tab. <br />
* Then click 'Repair Permissions'. <br />
<br />
<br />
Most Mac OS X versions defragment themselves, to a pretty good degree. <br />
<br />
<br />
You can also run [http://www.amazon.com/gp/explorer/B000095YXH/2/ref=pd_lpo_ase/104-9387509-4289516? Diskwarrior] now and again just to make sure your directories are in good order. Also read this article [http://www.lafcpug.org/care_feeding_panther.html (Care and Feeding of Panther)] by '''Charles Roberts''' for more helpful tips. <br> NOTE: Despite the "Panther" in the title, this article is relevant to OSX Tiger and above. <br />
<br />
<br />
Up to this point (June 2008) there are still no virii (viruses), malicious spyware or adware that affects Mac OS X. And in fact if you are running FCP it is recommended that you do not leave anti-virus software running, as it can interfere with capture and cause dropped frames. <br />
<br />
<br />
Mac OS X has been virus free for five years, but this is not to say that a virus will not happen. If you have a mission critical editing system, your best bet is to keep that system off the internet. <br />
<br />
<br />
Also, if you buy an AppleCare Protection Plan for your Mac, make sure to install [https://support.apple.com/techtooldeluxe/main?id=dl TechTool Deluxe] which comes on the install disk. This is an excellent troubleshooting and maintenance application. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Greg Kozikowski adds:'''<br> <br />
If you do the First Aid tests while the normal system is running, the system files running at that instant will not get checked. Better to run the machine from the install CD and point the test to the now completely available System Drive.<br />

==How do I fix an Out of Memory alert?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
The 'Out of Memory' alert is a hard one to diagnose, because it could be an indicator of several very different problems. Here is a list, in a loose kind of probability order. <br />
<br />
<br />
*Make sure all stills are RGB. Not greyscale or CMYK. Excessively oversized stills can also be a problem. <br />
<br />
*Are there any non alpha numeric characters in file names? Don't use characters such as / ? or * in your file names, as some of these are Unix commands that can confuse the system. Use only numbers, letters, spaces or underscores. <br />
<br />
*Make sure all drives in or connected to your system, whether you are using them or not, have at least 10% headroom. Think of this as 'swap space' - space that the drives need to be able to move things around cleanly. <br />
<br />
*You may have exceeded your computer's ability to continue. Try shutting down the machine, waiting ten seconds and then restarting the machine. If this works, you might want to look into upgrading your RAM or machine if you want to continue working at the level of complexiity of your current project. <br />
<br />
*To finish your current job, try exporting complex parts of your timeline as self contained movies, re-import them and use them in place of the original complicated areas on the timeline to reduce the load on fcp. <br />
<br />
*Also, this could indicate that you had lots of other applications left open that were sapping your resources, Make sure all applications are correctly shut down while using FCP, by choosing File > Quit from inside each application. An application icon in your dock that has a small black triangle below it is still open. <br />
<br />
*Incorrect sequence settings. Do you have to render a lot when you shouldn't have to? It's possible that your sequence settings don't match your clip settings. Check problem clips against the sequence settings in the browser. <br />
<br />
*You may have corrupt render files. Try dumping the render files and re-rendering the piece. <br />
<br />
*You may have corrupt preferences. Try dumping your preferences. Instructions here : [http://www.lafcpug.org/faqwiki/index.php/LAFCPUG:_Troubleshooting_FAQs#How_do_I_trash_my_preferences.3F Trashing your preferences] <br />
<br />
*You may have a corrupt sequence. Try making a new sequence, cutting the media from your old sequence and pasting it into the new sequence. <br />
<br />
*You may have a corrupt project. Try making a new project, cutting the media from your old sequence and pasting it into the new project. <br />
<br />
*You may have corrupt media. Try making a new project and adding the media in the vicinity of the problem in your old timeline to check for corrupt media. Alternatively, try deleting or disconnecting the media in the vicinity of the problem to see if the media is causing the problem. <br />
<br />
*General confusion. Repair permissions using your Disk Utility. (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > Select Disk > First Aid > Repair permissions) <br />
<br />
*Genuine memory conflict. Try removing sticks of memory one at a time and see if the problem persists. Be careful to earth yourself correctly before doing this, or get a service department to do it for you. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is not yet a definitive list.<br />

==Can't eject disk.==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
Here's a couple of different methods for ejecting a stubborn disk, in order of difficulty. <br />
<br />
*Press the eject key on your keyboard. This is the one at the top right of the keyboard that looks like an up arrow with a line underneath it. <br />
<br />
*Quit all applications that may be trying to use information on the disk, then try ejecting again. <br />
<br />
*Restart the machine with the mouse button held down. The disk should eject during start up. <br />
<br />
*Restart the machine. During startup, press and hold Command Option O F to enter Open Firmware. Type 'eject cd' then hit return. <br />
<br />
*Push a paperclip in the small hole at the bottom of the drive to manually eject the disk - if your machine has one. <br />
<br />
*Remove the cd/dvd drive and manually eject the disk. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Derek Mok''' <br />
<br />
*Some keyboards don't have an eject button on the top right (for example, many types of colour-coded keyboards). In those cases, try F12, or CONTROL-F12.<br />

==Why is my canvas/viewer bright green?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
While we don't have any hard and fast rule as to why this happens, we believe that it's related to system resources getting stressed. It seems to happen when something too complex for the system to handle is going on. This could be a very complicated timeline, too many timelines open, too many components attached to the computer, or any other combination of items that could cause your computer to go 'Uh, excuse me, my brain is full'. <br />
<br />
<br />
Try reducing the strain on your computer by closing all open applications, extra projects and extra timelines, then shutting down the computer, removing all externals and starting up again. If things return to normal, add components back into the mix one at a time, in order of usefulness. <br />
<br />
<br />
More RAM / a bigger processor might also help if you get this problem a lot.<br />

==How do I post a screen capture of my problem?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
* Make sure what you want to take a picture of is displayed on your computer screen. <br />
<br />
* Press Apple - Shift - 4 (together) and your cursor will turn into a small 'target' cross. <br />
<br />
* Move this cross to the top left hand corner of the part of the screen you want to capture. <br />
<br />
* Then click and drag the cross down to the bottom right hand corner of the part of the screen you want to capture. You should see a transparent grey box appear as you drag. Anything inside this box will be captured. <br />
<br />
* Let go of the mouse. If your sound is turned up you will hear the sound of a camera click. <br />
<br />
* Now go to your desktop and there should be a new file there called Picture 1.png. Double click this to open it and check that it is what you want. If not, repeat steps 1 to 5 until you capture what you need. Rename the picture to suit. <br />
<br />
* Now go to somewhere like [http://photobucket.com/ PhotoBucket] and set up a free account. <br />
<br />
* Upload the picture you made to PhotoBucket by clicking on the 'Browse' button, navigating to your picture and hitting the 'Upload' button. You picture is now on the web so other people can access it. <br />
<br />
* Find your picture in your PhotoBucket account and click once on the 'IMG code'. You should get a small text alert that says 'copied'. <br />
<br />
* Come back to the forum and paste the code you just copied into your reply. Your picture should display inside your forum message. You can check if you got it right before posting by hitting the 'Preview' button next to the 'Post Message' button at the bottom of the reply box. <br />
<br />
* Once you're happy, post the message to your favorite forum, such as the [http://www.lafcpug.org/phorum/list.php?1 Cafe LA.]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Andreas Kiel adds:'''<br />
<br />
* You can hit space bar to capture a window only<br />
<br />
* You can press cmd-ctrl-shift-4. This will put the screen capture to the clipboard. From there you can go to (nearly) any app and paste. The easy thing would be Preview. Just press cmd-n and you get the captured picture. With "File->Save" as you can you can select file type and compression.<br />
<br />
* Another easy one maybe: use Preview without any of the system shortcuts. Select "File->Grab" and use one of the options. Then save it in the format you want.<br />
<br />
* You can change the format of the screen captures using my "screenShotFormat" ( http://www.spherico.com/filmtools/screenShotFormat/screenShotFormat.zip ). You have to restart to make changes active.<br />

==How do I downgrade QuickTime?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
The 'best' way to downgrade QuickTime, if it is causing you trouble, is to completely re-install your operating system. Which, yeah right, we all want to spend hours backing up and re-installing everything. Not. <br />
<br />
<br />
The real best way is to use a program like [http://www.charlessoft.com/ Pacifist] to uninstall your current QuickTime and then install a previous (working) version. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you need an earlier version of Quicktime, look on this page: [http://www.lafcpug.org/faqwiki/index.php/LAFCPUG:_Troubleshooting_FAQs#Quicktime_Version_Downloads List of Quicktime Downloads] <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Tom Wolsky adds''': <br />
<br />
Some versions of the OS cannot be downgraded. 10.4.11 and later cannot be downgraded to a QT version earlier than 7.3 I believe. To get back to 7.2, which is the last version that works properly with FCP earlier than 5.1, you have to downgrade the OS.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Strypes''' <br />
<br />
Not all Pacifist downgrades go down well. Pacifist is an extremely powerful software that reads into the specific components of an installation package, which in turn allows you to swap those components without going for a full reinstallation. This is helpful when you are faced with issues like a corrupted registry file or missing components and you want to avoid a complete reinstallation. However, going between certain Quicktime versions may result in Quicktime not working very well, as the directory structure may not accurately mirror the previous versions. An improperly installed version of Quicktime may cause the clock and icons on the top right hand corner of the finder to disappear. The spotlight icon will blink slowly. System Preferences may crash when you attempt to run it. Checking the crash logs in Console will indicate that the SystemUIServer crashes every few seconds. The SystemUIServer is a background process that controls several aspects of the OSX user interface including the top right hand side of the menu bar.<br />
<br />
<br />
A workaround for this is to download the combo update for the version of the OS you are running. This does a proper update of the components in Quicktime and the OS, and you will be back where you started from before you tried downgrading. You may then choose to live with the problem or go for a full reinstallation of the OS/QT/FCS.<br />

==No image in Canvas==<br />
<br />
'''From Nick Meyers''' <br><br />
<br />
If you can't see an image in the Canvas or Viewer, even though you can hear audio, you may have accidentally changed the view mode of the viewer or canvas. Look under the viewer or Canvas "View Menu". That's a pull down menu at the top of the viewer or Canvas, just right of centre. The icon looks like a little view finder. Under there are all sorts of options for the display of the viewer and canvas, including: <br />
<br />
*Image <br />
<br />
*Image & Wireframe <br />
<br />
*Wireframe <br />
<br />
There's a good chance you've switched over to "Wireframe". It's easy to do: the W key toggles between these 3 modes. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br><br />
<br />
Also, if you did have the view mode of the viewer set to 'Image and Wireframe', it's possible that you've accidentally dragged the picture 'offscreen' when trying to drag the clip to the timeline. To fix this, load the clip into the viewer, select the 'Motion' tab at the top of the viewer, and then click all the small red crosses to reset any motion changes.<br />

==File Error: The specified file is open and in use by this or another application==<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br />
<br />
We believe that this error may be caused by Mac OSX's 'Spotlight' trying to access files at the same time as FCP is trying to render them. To work around this, <br />
<br />
* From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.<br />
* From the View menu, choose Spotlight.<br />
* Click the Privacy tab to reveal the areas that Spotlight will not index.<br />
* In the Finder, open your "Final Cut Pro Documents" folder.<br />
* Drag the Capture Scratch folder into Spotlight's list.<br />
* Restart the computer. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you have dedicated Media drives, you can drag the entire drive(s) to the privacy section to exclude all items on it.<br />
<br />
This method is still being tested, but makes sense.<br />

==FCP 7.0.1 broke my Desktop Preview! How do I fix that==<br />
'''From Nick Meyers'''<br />
<br />
<br />
i managed to get to that file on the FCP7 install disc. <br />
here's what to do: <br />
<br />
Load up your Final Cut Studio Install disk, <br />
or if you've made a disk image (good idea) access that. <br />
<br />
Inside that, notice that the "Instal Final Cut Studio" package is actually an Alias, <br />
so right-click on that and "Show Original" <br />
<br />
You'll be taken to a folder called "Installer" inside of which is another folder called "Packages" <br />
<br />
Inside the Packages folder locate the VideoOutSupport.pkg, <br />
right-click on it, and "Show Package Contents" <br />
<br />
Inside the Contents folder, locate the Archive.paz.gz file. <br />
Drag it to the desktop, and double click on it to un-zip it. <br />
<br />
This will create a folder called "Library" <br />
Open it, go to the QuickTime folder inside it, <br />
and there you will find the file "DesktopVideoout.component" <br />
<br />
Put this file in Macintosh HD > Library >QuickTime, <br />
replacing the similarly named file there. <br />
<br />
<br />
Digital Cinema Desktop Preview should now work.<br />

==How do I connect an external monitor?==<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
You can connect an external monitor using this path : Mac > Firewire > Camera or deck > RCA cable (the red, white and yellow type that comes with most DVD players is fine) > TV. <br />
<br />
Make sure all external devices are on before you open FCP, so that it can detect them, then in View > External video > select ‘All Frames’, and in View > Video Playback > select Apple Firewire NTSC or Apple Firewire PAL, depending on the standard of the country you are in. <br />
<br />
If the monitor has speakers, make sure that View > Audio Playback is set to ‘Firewire DV’, or ‘Audio Follows Video’. <br />
<br />

==How much RAM do I need to run FCS?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br />
<br />
Apple says you can run FCP's HD features with a minimum of 1GB of Ram. They recommend 2GB of RAM when working with compressed HD and uncompressed SD sources, and 4GB of RAM when working with uncompressed HD sources and so do we. FCP will not utilize more than 4GBs of RAM as of this writing. Motion however, will utilize as much RAM as you can throw into your Mac.<br />

==How much storage do I need?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry:''' <br><br />
<br />
You should typically plan for 200% or more of the raw size of your video content. This allows for the render files and scratch space needed for various processes. Here's a guide for the data rates and raw space requirements for various video formats: <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''NTSC DV''' or '''PAL DV''' (5:1 compression) : <br />
* 3.6 MB/Sec, or 1 GB/4.5 minutes or 13 GB/hour <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''NTSC DV50''' : <br />
* Double the above <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''525 NTSC uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 20.97 MB per/sec, or 76 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 23.07 MB per/sec, or 83 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''625 PAL uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 20.74 MB per/sec, or 75 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 22.81 MB per/sec, or 82 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''720p HDTV uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 110.48 MB per/sec, or 398 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 121.52 MB per/sec, or 438 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''1080i and 1080p HDTV uncompressed''' : <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 99.53 MB per/sec, or 358 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 109.43 MB per/sec, or 394 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 103.68 MB per/sec, or 373 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 114.05 MB per/sec, or 411 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97fps = 124.29 MB per/sec, or 447 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97fps = 136.72 MB per/sec, or 492 GB per/hr. <br />

==What is dropframe and non-dropframe timecode?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry''' : <br />
<br />
Dropframe timecode is a leapyear-like trick used to compensate for the fact that 29.97fps (the NTSC standard), doesn't match the master clocks used in broadcast facilities. It works by dropping the first 2 framecounts (not frames) of video every minute, except for minutes divisible by 10. If that's just confusing, all you need to know is that all NTSC DV uses dropframe timecode, and so should you. <br />
<br />
Dropframe timecode is always notated in the format 00:00:00;00, with a semi-colon separator between the seconds and frames. Non-dropframe uses colons for all separators. <br />
<br />

==What devices work with FCP?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton''' <br />
<br />
Apple has complied a list of qualified devices that are officially supported for use in Final Cut Studio. You can find this list on the [http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/supportdevices.php Final Cut Studio Resources] page at Apple.com.<br><br />
<br />
If you find your device is not on this list, it does NOT mean the device will not work with Final Cut Studio. It means Apple has not yet tested the device and thus can't officially support it.<br />

==How do I register Quicktime Pro?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
QuickTime Pro comes with any copy of Final Cut Pro. You do not have to purchase it separately. <br />
<br />
In early versions of FCP you needed to register your QuickTime Pro copy before some of the features were active. The latest versions of FCS handle this automatically. However, if you find that you are not running the 'Pro' version, whether you bought the upgrade online or it came with your latest FCS upgrade, the instructions on how to register your copy can be found here : [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/unlock-mac_osx.html Quicktime Pro Registration]<br><br />

==Which brands of external drives are recommended?==<br />
<br />
Before you read on, read this AppleCare Doc from Apple on choosing a Hard Drive:<br />
<br />
[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58636 Choosing a Hard Disk]<br />
<br />
'''From Derek Mok'''<br />
<br />
First, several tips: <br />
<br />
a) Bear in mind that proper maintenance and usage are necessary to ensure a long healthy life for your storage devices. Make sure you dismount them from your desktop (APPLE-E) before turning the power off your drive. <br />
<br />
b) USB drives are almost never fast enough to keep up with capturing and editing. You must use at least FireWire 400. <br />
<br />
c) [http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html DiskWarrior] is a recommended utility application to have handy whenever you use external drives for editing. <br />
<br />
<br />
This list in is no particular order. All are considered good, solid systems.<br />

<br />
<br />
Two very common brands, Lacie and Maxtor, have in my esteem received more mixed reviews in terms of performance and durability. However, brand names are not a guarantee of a drive's performance, and even the best drives recommended by professionals can fail, especially if misused, eg. left on for days at a time for no reason, chained with a camera/deck/capture device, or when put into too large a chain of drives. You should always implement a backup system to guard against data loss.<br />

==Should I get FCP or FCE?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br />
<br />
Final Cut Express is a slightly dumbed down version of Final Cut Pro. The main differences are :<br />
<br />
<br />
* FCE can only work with DV, DVCAM, HDV and AVCHD. It cannot use IMX, DVCPRO 50, Uncompressed 8 bit SD, uncompressed 10 bit HD, XDCAM, work in 24 fps or any of the host of other new high-end formats on the market. <br />
<br />
* FCE does not contain a lot of the high-end tools required for working in broadcast, such as XML exchange, OMF export, RSS-422 deck control, batch capture, timecode display and Cinema tools integration. <br />
<br />
* Multicam is not supported. <br />
<br />
* There is only basic colour correction support. The Three-Way Colour Corrector is not included. There are no scopes, frame viewer or range checkers. <br />
<br />
* The Keyboard is not mappable and window layouts can't be saved. <br />
<br />
* The applications 'Compressor', 'Cinema Tools', 'Color', 'Soundtrack Pro', 'DVD Studio Pro' and 'Motion' are not included. <br />
<br />
<br />
If none of these things actually mean anything to you, and you are not working in a broadcast environment, you could be a good candidate for Final Cut Express.<br />

==How do I calibrate my broadcast monitor?==<br />
<br />
'''From (and copyright) The Final Cut Pro User Manual, onboard all copies of FCP under the 'Help' menu'''. <br />
<br />
Monitors are calibrated using SMPTE standard color bars. Brightness and contrast are adjusted by eye, using the color bars onscreen. Adjusting chroma and phase involves using the “blue only” button found on professional video monitors. This calibration should be done to all monitors in use, whether they’re in the field or in the editing room. To calibrate your monitor: <br />
<br />
<br />
*1: Connect a color bars or test pattern generator to the monitor you’re using. <br />
<br />
<br />
*2: Alternatively, you can one of the built-in color bars generators in Final Cut Pro. Avoid using still image graphics of color bars. <br />
<br />
<br />
*3: Turn on the monitor and wait at least ten minutes for the monitor to reach a stable operating temperature. <br />
<br />
<br />
*4: Select the appropriate input on the video monitor so that the color bars are visible on the screen. <br />
<br />
<br />
Near the bottom right corner of the color bars are three black bars of varying intensities. Each one corresponds to a different brightness value, measured in IRE. (IRE originally stood for Institute of Radio Engineers, which has since merged into the <br />
modern IEEE organization; the measurement is a video-specific unit of voltage.) These are the PLUGE (Picture Lineup Generation Equipment) bars, and they allow you to adjust the brightness and contrast of a video monitor by helping you establish what absolute black should be. <br />
<br />
<br />
*5: Turn the chroma level on the monitor all the way down. <br />
<br />
This is a temporary adjustment which allows you to make more accurate luma adjustments. The chroma control may also be labeled color or saturation. <br />
<br />
<br />
*6: Adjust the brightness control of your monitor to the point where you can no longer distinguish between the two PLUGE bars on the left and the adjacent black square. At this point, the brightest of the bars (11.5 IRE) should just barely be visible, while the two PLUGE bars on the left (5 IRE and 7.5 IRE) appear to be the same level of black. <br />
<br />
<br />
*7: Now, turn the contrast all the way up so that this bar becomes bright, and then turn it back down. The point where this bar is barely visible is the correct contrast setting for your monitor. (The example shown below is exaggerated to demonstrate.) <br />
<br />
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/lafcpug/pluge.png<br />
<br />
When adjusting the contrast, also watch the white square in the lower left. If the <br />
contrast is too high, the white square appears to “spill” into the surrounding squares. <br />
Adjust the contrast until the luma of the white square no longer “spills” into <br />
surrounding squares. <br />
<br />
<br />
*8: Once you are finished adjusting luma settings, turn up the chroma control to the middle (detent) position. Note: Some knobs stop subtly at a default position. This is known as the detent position of the knob. <br />
<br />
<br />
*9: Press the “blue only” button on the front of your monitor. Note: This button is usually only available on professional monitors. Notice how all of the differently colored bars turn into alternating light and dark ones. If your monitor is correctly calibrated, all the gray bars will be evenly gray and all the black bars evenly black. If the two outer gray bars don’t match, adjust the chroma control of the monitor until they do. Then adjust the phase control to even out the inner bars. <br />
<br />
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/lafcpug/phase.png<br />
<br />
Note: NTSC and PAL video have brightness and contrast levels that are very different from those of RGB computer displays. Broadcast video viewed on a computer monitor often looks dull and dark, whereas the same video viewed on a broadcast monitor will be bright and clear. For this reason, the color bars above are shown for reference only and not to reflect what you should be seeing.<br />

==How do I connect an external monitor?==<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
You can connect an external monitor using this path : Mac > Firewire > Camera or deck > RCA cable (the red, white and yellow type that comes with most DVD players is fine) > TV. <br />
<br />
Make sure all external devices are on before you open FCP, so that it can detect them, then in View > External video > select ‘All Frames’, and in View > Video Playback > select Apple Firewire NTSC or Apple Firewire PAL, depending on the standard of the country you are in. <br />
<br />
If the monitor has speakers, make sure that View > Audio Playback is set to ‘Firewire DV’, or ‘Audio Follows Video’. <br />
<br />

==How much RAM do I need to run FCS?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br />
<br />
Apple says you can run FCP's HD features with a minimum of 1GB of Ram. They recommend 2GB of RAM when working with compressed HD and uncompressed SD sources, and 4GB of RAM when working with uncompressed HD sources and so do we. FCP will not utilize more than 4GBs of RAM as of this writing. Motion however, will utilize as much RAM as you can throw into your Mac.<br />

==How much storage do I need?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry:''' <br><br />
<br />
You should typically plan for 200% or more of the raw size of your video content. This allows for the render files and scratch space needed for various processes. Here's a guide for the data rates and raw space requirements for various video formats: <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''NTSC DV''' or '''PAL DV''' (5:1 compression) : <br />
* 3.6 MB/Sec, or 1 GB/4.5 minutes or 13 GB/hour <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''NTSC DV50''' : <br />
* Double the above <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''525 NTSC uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 20.97 MB per/sec, or 76 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 23.07 MB per/sec, or 83 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''625 PAL uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 20.74 MB per/sec, or 75 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 22.81 MB per/sec, or 82 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''720p HDTV uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 110.48 MB per/sec, or 398 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 121.52 MB per/sec, or 438 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''1080i and 1080p HDTV uncompressed''' : <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 99.53 MB per/sec, or 358 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 109.43 MB per/sec, or 394 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 103.68 MB per/sec, or 373 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 114.05 MB per/sec, or 411 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97fps = 124.29 MB per/sec, or 447 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97fps = 136.72 MB per/sec, or 492 GB per/hr. <br />

==What is dropframe and non-dropframe timecode?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry''' : <br />
<br />
Dropframe timecode is a leapyear-like trick used to compensate for the fact that 29.97fps (the NTSC standard), doesn't match the master clocks used in broadcast facilities. It works by dropping the first 2 framecounts (not frames) of video every minute, except for minutes divisible by 10. If that's just confusing, all you need to know is that all NTSC DV uses dropframe timecode, and so should you. <br />
<br />
Dropframe timecode is always notated in the format 00:00:00;00, with a semi-colon separator between the seconds and frames. Non-dropframe uses colons for all separators. <br />

==How do I register Quicktime Pro?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
QuickTime Pro comes with any copy of Final Cut Pro. You do not have to purchase it separately. <br />
<br />
In early versions of FCP you needed to register your QuickTime Pro copy before some of the features were active. The latest versions of FCS handle this automatically. However, if you find that you are not running the 'Pro' version, whether you bought the upgrade online or it came with your latest FCS upgrade, the instructions on how to register your copy can be found here : [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/unlock-mac_osx.html Quicktime Pro Registration]<br><br />

==Which brands of external drives are recommended?==<br />
<br />
Before you read on, read this AppleCare Doc from Apple on choosing a Hard Drive:<br />
<br />
[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58636 Choosing a Hard Disk]<br />
<br />
'''From Derek Mok'''<br />
<br />
First, several tips: <br />
<br />
a) Bear in mind that proper maintenance and usage are necessary to ensure a long healthy life for your storage devices. Make sure you dismount them from your desktop (APPLE-E) before turning the power off your drive. <br />
<br />
b) USB drives are almost never fast enough to keep up with capturing and editing. You must use at least FireWire 400. <br />
<br />
c) [http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html DiskWarrior] is a recommended utility application to have handy whenever you use external drives for editing. <br />
<br />
<br />
This list in is no particular order. All are considered good, solid systems.<br />

<br />
<br />
Two very common brands, Lacie and Maxtor, have in my esteem received more mixed reviews in terms of performance and durability. However, brand names are not a guarantee of a drive's performance, and even the best drives recommended by professionals can fail, especially if misused, eg. left on for days at a time for no reason, chained with a camera/deck/capture device, or when put into too large a chain of drives. You should always implement a backup system to guard against data loss.<br />

==Should I get FCP or FCE?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br />
<br />
Final Cut Express is a slightly dumbed down version of Final Cut Pro. The main differences are :<br />
<br />
<br />
* FCE can only work with DV, DVCAM, HDV and AVCHD. It cannot use IMX, DVCPRO 50, Uncompressed 8 bit SD, uncompressed 10 bit HD, XDCAM, work in 24 fps or any of the host of other new high-end formats on the market. <br />
<br />
* FCE does not contain a lot of the high-end tools required for working in broadcast, such as XML exchange, OMF export, RSS-422 deck control, batch capture, timecode display and Cinema tools integration. <br />
<br />
* Multicam is not supported. <br />
<br />
* There is only basic colour correction support. The Three-Way Colour Corrector is not included. There are no scopes, frame viewer or range checkers. <br />
<br />
* The Keyboard is not mappable and window layouts can't be saved. <br />
<br />
* The applications 'Compressor', 'Cinema Tools', 'Color', 'Soundtrack Pro', 'DVD Studio Pro' and 'Motion' are not included. <br />
<br />
<br />
If none of these things actually mean anything to you, and you are not working in a broadcast environment, you could be a good candidate for Final Cut Express.<br />

==How do I calibrate my broadcast monitor?==<br />
<br />
'''From (and copyright) The Final Cut Pro User Manual, onboard all copies of FCP under the 'Help' menu'''. <br />
<br />
Monitors are calibrated using SMPTE standard color bars. Brightness and contrast are adjusted by eye, using the color bars onscreen. Adjusting chroma and phase involves using the “blue only” button found on professional video monitors. This calibration should be done to all monitors in use, whether they’re in the field or in the editing room. To calibrate your monitor: <br />
<br />
<br />
*1: Connect a color bars or test pattern generator to the monitor you’re using. <br />
<br />
<br />
*2: Alternatively, you can one of the built-in color bars generators in Final Cut Pro. Avoid using still image graphics of color bars. <br />
<br />
<br />
*3: Turn on the monitor and wait at least ten minutes for the monitor to reach a stable operating temperature. <br />
<br />
<br />
*4: Select the appropriate input on the video monitor so that the color bars are visible on the screen. <br />
<br />
<br />
Near the bottom right corner of the color bars are three black bars of varying intensities. Each one corresponds to a different brightness value, measured in IRE. (IRE originally stood for Institute of Radio Engineers, which has since merged into the <br />
modern IEEE organization; the measurement is a video-specific unit of voltage.) These are the PLUGE (Picture Lineup Generation Equipment) bars, and they allow you to adjust the brightness and contrast of a video monitor by helping you establish what absolute black should be. <br />
<br />
<br />
*5: Turn the chroma level on the monitor all the way down. <br />
<br />
This is a temporary adjustment which allows you to make more accurate luma adjustments. The chroma control may also be labeled color or saturation. <br />
<br />
<br />
*6: Adjust the brightness control of your monitor to the point where you can no longer distinguish between the two PLUGE bars on the left and the adjacent black square. At this point, the brightest of the bars (11.5 IRE) should just barely be visible, while the two PLUGE bars on the left (5 IRE and 7.5 IRE) appear to be the same level of black. <br />
<br />
<br />
*7: Now, turn the contrast all the way up so that this bar becomes bright, and then turn it back down. The point where this bar is barely visible is the correct contrast setting for your monitor. (The example shown below is exaggerated to demonstrate.) <br />
<br />
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/lafcpug/pluge.png<br />
<br />
When adjusting the contrast, also watch the white square in the lower left. If the <br />
contrast is too high, the white square appears to “spill” into the surrounding squares. <br />
Adjust the contrast until the luma of the white square no longer “spills” into <br />
surrounding squares. <br />
<br />
<br />
*8: Once you are finished adjusting luma settings, turn up the chroma control to the middle (detent) position. Note: Some knobs stop subtly at a default position. This is known as the detent position of the knob. <br />
<br />
<br />
*9: Press the “blue only” button on the front of your monitor. Note: This button is usually only available on professional monitors. Notice how all of the differently colored bars turn into alternating light and dark ones. If your monitor is correctly calibrated, all the gray bars will be evenly gray and all the black bars evenly black. If the two outer gray bars don’t match, adjust the chroma control of the monitor until they do. Then adjust the phase control to even out the inner bars. <br />
<br />
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/lafcpug/phase.png<br />
<br />
Note: NTSC and PAL video have brightness and contrast levels that are very different from those of RGB computer displays. Broadcast video viewed on a computer monitor often looks dull and dark, whereas the same video viewed on a broadcast monitor will be bright and clear. For this reason, the color bars above are shown for reference only and not to reflect what you should be seeing.<br />

==Where Can I Get Training for Final Cut Studio?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton''':<br />
<br />
There are Apple Authorized Training Centers in almost every major city in the world. You will almost always find the best FCS training at these centers, but it is up to you to do your homework first. Ask around. An Apple Authorized Training Center might not be the best choice in your city. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
To Locate an Apple Authorized Training Center near you, go here:<br><br />
<br />
*http://training.apple.com/locations/<br />
<br />
To learn more about the Apple Authorized Training Center program and curriculum, go here:<br />
<br />
*http://www.apple.com/software/pro/training/auth_tcenter_prog.html<br />
<br />
To learn more about how to become an Apple Certified Pro, go here:<br />
<br />
*http://www.apple.com/software/pro/training/enduser.html<br />
<br />
For self paced learning and training for no more cost than the price of a book, go here:<br />
<br />
*http://www.apple.com/software/pro/training/self_paced.html<br />
<br />
<br />
Other sources of training might be found at your local Community College. Some have excellent training for far less cost. Some Universities also have training usually in the form of night classes. Still, other institutions might offer excellent training. Again, ask around.<br><br />

==RTFM! Where do I find Manuals?==<br />
<br />
'''From Joey "grafixjoe" Morelli'''<br />
<br />
The Manual is an oft ignored - very handy piece of software that, oddly enough, is built right into the Final Cut Pro application so no need to "crack a book". Checking the manual BEFORE POSTING could eliminate many redundant inquiries. Here's a short tutorial on "cracking the digital manual":<br />
<br />
• Launch Final Cut Pro<br />
<br />
• Menu Bar / Help / Final Cut Pro User Manual<br />

==How do I connect an external monitor?==<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
You can connect an external monitor using this path : Mac > Firewire > Camera or deck > RCA cable (the red, white and yellow type that comes with most DVD players is fine) > TV. <br />
<br />
Make sure all external devices are on before you open FCP, so that it can detect them, then in View > External video > select ‘All Frames’, and in View > Video Playback > select Apple Firewire NTSC or Apple Firewire PAL, depending on the standard of the country you are in. <br />
<br />
If the monitor has speakers, make sure that View > Audio Playback is set to ‘Firewire DV’, or ‘Audio Follows Video’. <br />
<br />

==How much RAM do I need to run FCS?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br />
<br />
Apple says you can run FCP's HD features with a minimum of 1GB of Ram. They recommend 2GB of RAM when working with compressed HD and uncompressed SD sources, and 4GB of RAM when working with uncompressed HD sources and so do we. FCP will not utilize more than 4GBs of RAM as of this writing. Motion however, will utilize as much RAM as you can throw into your Mac.<br />

==How much storage do I need?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry:''' <br><br />
<br />
You should typically plan for 200% or more of the raw size of your video content. This allows for the render files and scratch space needed for various processes. Here's a guide for the data rates and raw space requirements for various video formats: <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''NTSC DV''' or '''PAL DV''' (5:1 compression) : <br />
* 3.6 MB/Sec, or 1 GB/4.5 minutes or 13 GB/hour <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''NTSC DV50''' : <br />
* Double the above <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''525 NTSC uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 20.97 MB per/sec, or 76 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 23.07 MB per/sec, or 83 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''625 PAL uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 20.74 MB per/sec, or 75 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 22.81 MB per/sec, or 82 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''720p HDTV uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 110.48 MB per/sec, or 398 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 121.52 MB per/sec, or 438 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''1080i and 1080p HDTV uncompressed''' : <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 99.53 MB per/sec, or 358 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 109.43 MB per/sec, or 394 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 103.68 MB per/sec, or 373 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 114.05 MB per/sec, or 411 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97fps = 124.29 MB per/sec, or 447 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97fps = 136.72 MB per/sec, or 492 GB per/hr. <br />

==What is dropframe and non-dropframe timecode?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry''' : <br />
<br />
Dropframe timecode is a leapyear-like trick used to compensate for the fact that 29.97fps (the NTSC standard), doesn't match the master clocks used in broadcast facilities. It works by dropping the first 2 framecounts (not frames) of video every minute, except for minutes divisible by 10. If that's just confusing, all you need to know is that all NTSC DV uses dropframe timecode, and so should you. <br />
<br />
Dropframe timecode is always notated in the format 00:00:00;00, with a semi-colon separator between the seconds and frames. Non-dropframe uses colons for all separators. <br />
<br />

==What devices work with FCP?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton''' <br />
<br />
Apple has complied a list of qualified devices that are officially supported for use in Final Cut Studio. You can find this list on the [http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/supportdevices.php Final Cut Studio Resources] page at Apple.com.<br><br />
<br />
If you find your device is not on this list, it does NOT mean the device will not work with Final Cut Studio. It means Apple has not yet tested the device and thus can't officially support it.<br />

==How do I register Quicktime Pro?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
QuickTime Pro comes with any copy of Final Cut Pro. You do not have to purchase it separately. <br />
<br />
In early versions of FCP you needed to register your QuickTime Pro copy before some of the features were active. The latest versions of FCS handle this automatically. However, if you find that you are not running the 'Pro' version, whether you bought the upgrade online or it came with your latest FCS upgrade, the instructions on how to register your copy can be found here : [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/unlock-mac_osx.html Quicktime Pro Registration]<br><br />

==Which brands of external drives are recommended?==<br />
<br />
Before you read on, read this AppleCare Doc from Apple on choosing a Hard Drive:<br />
<br />
[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58636 Choosing a Hard Disk]<br />
<br />
'''From Derek Mok'''<br />
<br />
First, several tips: <br />
<br />
a) Bear in mind that proper maintenance and usage are necessary to ensure a long healthy life for your storage devices. Make sure you dismount them from your desktop (APPLE-E) before turning the power off your drive. <br />
<br />
b) USB drives are almost never fast enough to keep up with capturing and editing. You must use at least FireWire 400. <br />
<br />
c) [http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html DiskWarrior] is a recommended utility application to have handy whenever you use external drives for editing. <br />
<br />
<br />
This list in is no particular order. All are considered good, solid systems.<br />

*[http://www.lairdsharehd.com/ Laird Telemedia]<br> <br />
<br />
<br />
Two very common brands, Lacie and Maxtor, have in my esteem received more mixed reviews in terms of performance and durability. However, brand names are not a guarantee of a drive's performance, and even the best drives recommended by professionals can fail, especially if misused, eg. left on for days at a time for no reason, chained with a camera/deck/capture device, or when put into too large a chain of drives. You should always implement a backup system to guard against data loss.<br />

==Should I get FCP or FCE?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br />
<br />
Final Cut Express is a slightly dumbed down version of Final Cut Pro. The main differences are :<br />
<br />
<br />
* FCE can only work with DV, DVCAM, HDV and AVCHD. It cannot use IMX, DVCPRO 50, Uncompressed 8 bit SD, uncompressed 10 bit HD, XDCAM, work in 24 fps or any of the host of other new high-end formats on the market. <br />
<br />
* FCE does not contain a lot of the high-end tools required for working in broadcast, such as XML exchange, OMF export, RSS-422 deck control, batch capture, timecode display and Cinema tools integration. <br />
<br />
* Multicam is not supported. <br />
<br />
* There is only basic colour correction support. The Three-Way Colour Corrector is not included. There are no scopes, frame viewer or range checkers. <br />
<br />
* The Keyboard is not mappable and window layouts can't be saved. <br />
<br />
* The applications 'Compressor', 'Cinema Tools', 'Color', 'Soundtrack Pro', 'DVD Studio Pro' and 'Motion' are not included. <br />
<br />
<br />
If none of these things actually mean anything to you, and you are not working in a broadcast environment, you could be a good candidate for Final Cut Express.<br />

==How do I calibrate my broadcast monitor?==<br />
<br />
'''From (and copyright) The Final Cut Pro User Manual, onboard all copies of FCP under the 'Help' menu'''. <br />
<br />
Monitors are calibrated using SMPTE standard color bars. Brightness and contrast are adjusted by eye, using the color bars onscreen. Adjusting chroma and phase involves using the “blue only” button found on professional video monitors. This calibration should be done to all monitors in use, whether they’re in the field or in the editing room. To calibrate your monitor: <br />

<br />
*1: Connect a color bars or test pattern generator to the monitor you’re using. <br />
<br />
<br />
*2: Alternatively, you can one of the built-in color bars generators in Final Cut Pro. Avoid using still image graphics of color bars. <br />
<br />
<br />
*3: Turn on the monitor and wait at least ten minutes for the monitor to reach a stable operating temperature. <br />
<br />
<br />
*4: Select the appropriate input on the video monitor so that the color bars are visible on the screen. <br />
<br />
<br />
Near the bottom right corner of the color bars are three black bars of varying intensities. Each one corresponds to a different brightness value, measured in IRE. (IRE originally stood for Institute of Radio Engineers, which has since merged into the <br />
modern IEEE organization; the measurement is a video-specific unit of voltage.) These are the PLUGE (Picture Lineup Generation Equipment) bars, and they allow you to adjust the brightness and contrast of a video monitor by helping you establish what absolute black should be. <br />
<br />
<br />
*5: Turn the chroma level on the monitor all the way down. <br />
<br />
This is a temporary adjustment which allows you to make more accurate luma adjustments. The chroma control may also be labeled color or saturation. <br />
<br />
<br />
*6: Adjust the brightness control of your monitor to the point where you can no longer distinguish between the two PLUGE bars on the left and the adjacent black square. At this point, the brightest of the bars (11.5 IRE) should just barely be visible, while the two PLUGE bars on the left (5 IRE and 7.5 IRE) appear to be the same level of black. <br />
<br />
<br />
*7: Now, turn the contrast all the way up so that this bar becomes bright, and then turn it back down. The point where this bar is barely visible is the correct contrast setting for your monitor. (The example shown below is exaggerated to demonstrate.) <br />
<br />
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/lafcpug/pluge.png<br />
<br />
When adjusting the contrast, also watch the white square in the lower left. If the <br />
contrast is too high, the white square appears to “spill” into the surrounding squares. <br />
Adjust the contrast until the luma of the white square no longer “spills” into <br />
surrounding squares. <br />
<br />
<br />
*8: Once you are finished adjusting luma settings, turn up the chroma control to the middle (detent) position. Note: Some knobs stop subtly at a default position. This is known as the detent position of the knob. <br />
<br />
<br />
*9: Press the “blue only” button on the front of your monitor. Note: This button is usually only available on professional monitors. Notice how all of the differently colored bars turn into alternating light and dark ones. If your monitor is correctly calibrated, all the gray bars will be evenly gray and all the black bars evenly black. If the two outer gray bars don’t match, adjust the chroma control of the monitor until they do. Then adjust the phase control to even out the inner bars. <br />
<br />
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/lafcpug/phase.png<br />
<br />
Note: NTSC and PAL video have brightness and contrast levels that are very different from those of RGB computer displays. Broadcast video viewed on a computer monitor often looks dull and dark, whereas the same video viewed on a broadcast monitor will be bright and clear. For this reason, the color bars above are shown for reference only and not to reflect what you should be seeing.<br />

==Where Can I Get Training for Final Cut Studio?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton''':<br />
<br />
There are Apple Authorized Training Centers in almost every major city in the world. You will almost always find the best FCS training at these centers, but it is up to you to do your homework first. Ask around. An Apple Authorized Training Center might not be the best choice in your city. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
To Locate an Apple Authorized Training Center near you, go here:<br><br />

==RTFM! Where do I find Manuals?==<br />
<br />
'''From Joey "grafixjoe" Morelli'''<br />
<br />
The Manual is an oft ignored - very handy piece of software that, oddly enough, is built right into the Final Cut Pro application so no need to "crack a book". Checking the manual BEFORE POSTING could eliminate many redundant inquiries. Here's a short tutorial on "cracking the digital manual":<br />
<br />
• Launch Final Cut Pro<br />
<br />
• Menu Bar / Help / Final Cut Pro User Manual<br />

==How do I get timecode burn-in?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
Either : <br />
<br />
1. Nest your entire timeline in a new timeline, then apply a 'Timecode Reader' or 'Timecode Generator' filter to the nest, depending on your needs. <br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
2. You can use a small free program called QTSync available here : [http://www.qtsync.com QT Sync]. <br />
If using this method, your end user will need to know the start timecode of the quicktime you send. <br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Nick Meyers''' <br />
<br />
* Create an ordinary FCP Text object in the Viewer (CONTROL-X). <br><br />
* Go into the Controls tab and erase the words "Sample Text". <br><br />
* Now put the Text object into your timeline and apply Timecode Reader to it. <br />
<br />
The Text object now acts like a layer for the timecode burn. When you don't want it, just select it and press CONTROL-B (Clip Disable). When you want it back, select and press CONTROL-B to enable it again. This saves the nesting step. <br />
<br />
<br />
Like all generators in FCP, the basic text generator has a default length of 2 mins & 10 seconds (think that's right). To change it simply go to its duration field (top left, or hit TAB after opening it to go straight there) and type in the duration you want. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Tip :''' <br />
You can option-drag values between the timecode fields in FCPs viewer, canvas, and Log & Capture widow. In this case you could hold option, drag the TC from the duration field of the canvas (assuming no in/outs in the timeline) and drop it into into the duration field of the viewer. <br />
The text overlay will now have exactly the right duration for the sequence. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Derek Mok''' <br />
<br />
If you are using Modify - Timecode on the Text clip you must enter the entire timecode including 00s at the beginning, and must choose Source TC. <br />
<br />
If Timecode Reader is already on the clip, Modify - Timecode will NOT update the filter. The timecode on the filter will continue to start at 01:00:00:00; it will not update to your modified timecode. If you cut the filter and paste it right back in, the numbers will be updated. <br />
<br />

==How do I export to WMV?==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
Programs such as [http://www.flip4mac.com/ 'Flip4Mac'] are useful for converting projects to WMV. However, the free demonstration version of Flip4Mac will only encode half of your project. If you find that about half of your media is missing from your WMVs, you need to upgrade to a paid version of Flip4Mac. <br />
<br />
<br />
Also worth a look are [http://www.telestream.net/products/episode_series.htm 'Episode Pro from Telestream'] which has univeral binaries (for Intel based Macs) <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Loren Miller''' <br />
<br />
AutoDesk Cleaner 6.5 allows conversion of files to Windows Media up to WMV 7. <br />
<br />
Find it here : <br />

<br />
'''From Craig Seeman'''<br />
<br />
[http://www.sorensonmedia.com/products/?pageID=1&ppc=3 Squeeze] now comes with very basic WMV capabilities (1 pass presets only) which can be expanded with Flip4Mac. <br />
<br />
Cleaner does WMV7 but can do WMV9 with Flip4Mac <br />
<br />
Compressor, FCP, iMovie, QuicktimePro also work with Flip4Mac. <br />
<br />
Visual Hub I believe does WMV8 and also is very inexpensive.<br />

==How do I export still images?==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Andrew Balis''' <br />
<br />
If possible, use an external (NTSC or PAL) monitor to view the frame you'd like to export. If the external monitor shows a "jittery" frame, you know its not the best choice. If you don't have an external monitor, then set the canvas in FCP to 100% which will show you both fields, and you'll be able to see the "jaggies" on the bad interlaced frames. <br />
<br />
<br />
With the playhead parked over the frame to export, choose File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion. Set to 'Still Image', click on the 'Options' button, and choose the file format of choice. <br />
<br />
<br />
If your export has to come from one of these "bad" frames, don't de-interlace first in FCP. Export the still and use the de-interlace filter in Photoshop. Also, if working with standard def footage, the exported still will look "wide". To compensate, go to Image > Image Size. Change the horizontal proportions to 90% of original (make sure contrain proportions is turned off in the window). <br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
'''From Nick Meyers''' <br />
<br />
*Make a new bin. <br><br />
*Put your stil image source sequence in the bin. <br><br />
*Go through the sequence, stopping on each frame you want. <br><br />
*Matchframe by pressing 'f'. <br><br />
*Mark an in point. <br><br />
*Create a Subclip (a new subclip appears in the new bin) <br><br />
*Re-name to taste. <br><br />
<br />
*Collect all the new subclips. <br><br />
*Batch export (File Menu > Batch Export) <br><br />
*Now do all the stills at once. <br><br />
<br />
This article looks old, but batch export hasn't changed : [http://www.lafcpug.org/tutorials/basic_batch_export.html Fun With Batch Exporting] <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Greg Kozikowski adds:''' <br />
<br />
When you set the canvas in FCP to 100% to show both fields, it is also required that you pull your Canvas frame larger and larger until there is gray all around the picture. If you don't do that, you're still only watching one field. <br />
<br />

==How can I compress for the Web?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
This answer is provided in the interest of helping people who have no idea what to do to get a clip out to the Web at a reasonable size and quality. It can not and does not come anywhere near close to giving the definitive answer for compression, as this is an entirely variable artform, based on dozens of different factors. But, you never know, this might work for you. Give it a shot. <br />
<br />
<br />
* Out of FCP, choose the section you want to export on the timeline using in an out, if required. <br />
* Then go to File > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion. <br />
* Then at the bottom of this window choose Format : Quicktime movie and click the 'options' button. <br />
* In the next window that pops up click on 'settings'. Another popup - choose Compression type : H.264. <br><br />
* Frame rate : You can set this to 10 or 15 if you need it to be really small, but set to 'current' is good if you need the motion to look good. Ignore keyframes for now. <br><br />
* Data rate : Automatic. You can restrict it if you need to. I never do. <br><br />
* Compressor quality : You can view what your picture will look like in the preview box and choose the compressor quality you like. Often there's not a lot of difference between best, high and medium, and lower compression quality does reduce your file size. <br><br />
* Click OK. <br><br />
* Then back in your Movie settings window, choose the 'size' button. In this box, choose Dimensions > Custom. Then figure out the size of your clip. In PAL they might be something like 720 x 576, or widescreen at 1024 x 576. <br />
* Then divide these numbers by two, or three, depending on your needs, and put those numbers in the custom boxes. So, for example - 1024 x 576 divided by 3 = 341 x 192. <br />
*Click OK. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you're not using sound uncheck the 'Sound' box in the 'Movie settings' section as this saves space too. If you are using sound you will need to experiment with different settings based on the quality you need it to be. Sometimes you can get down as low as 11.025 kHz, mono and still have adequate sound. Also, check 'Prepare for internet streaming'. This makes the movie start playing while it's still loading. <br />
<br />
<br />
And that's it, really. Please note that H.264 will only play on computers that have Quicktime 7 installed. Since the iPod, iTunes has a fairly deep penetration into the market, and lots of Macs and PCs are now running QuickTime 7 because of this, but there will be some people who will not be.

==How do I use XML to open my project in an earlier version of FCP?==<br />
<br />
'''From Nick Meyers''' <br />
<br />
Final Cut Pro projects are not backwards compatible. You can't open an FCP 6 project in FCP 5, for instance. You CAN open an FCP 5 project in FCP 6, but it will permanently modified in the process, and then wont open in FCP 5. So what to do? Export As XML! <br />
<br />
<br />
With Export as XML, you can export an entire project, just one clip, or anything in between: a bin of clips, an individual sequence or whatever. (You will see a summary of your selection in the Export XML window) You can then open the XML document in an earlier version of FCP. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''IMPORTANT''': Each new version of FCP includes a newly updated version of the XML protocol. You need to choose the version of XML you chose according to the version of FCP you want it to open in. (List follows below) <br />
<br />
<br />
'''To EXPORT the XML'''<br> <br />
* Select your items <br><br />
* File Menu > Export > XML (or right click on the selection and Export > XML) <br><br />
* Select your XML version <br><br />
<br />
<br />
'''To IMPORT the XML''' <br><br />
* Double Click on the XML file <br><br />
OR <br><br />
* Import > XML (or right click in the browser and Import > XML) <br><br />
* Choose if you want to import the XML into your current project, or create a new one. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
That's the basics, and you can get a tutorial with PICTURES here: [http://www.lafcpug.org/Tutorials/basic_fcp5_to_4.html Open FCP5 projects in FCP4 with XML Export/Import] or read the FCP Manual. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''XML / FCP version Compatibility''' <br />
<br />
*Use XML version 1 for going to Final Cut Pro 4.1 <br />
*Use XML version 2 for going to Final Cut Pro 5.0 <br />
*Use XML version 3 for going to Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 <br />
*Use XML version 4 for going to Final Cut Pro 6 <br />
<br />
<br />
• If in doubt, make more than one version. <br />
<br />
• If you are taking this to an On-Line, or other post house, talk to them first. <br />
<br />
• It should be noted that features that aren't available in your target version of FCP wont show up. For example you can't export an XML of a multiclip sequence, and expect to see multiclips in FCP4.5! <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Andreas Kiel''', XML guru adds: <br />
<br />
*XML works fine with "simple" projects, but one may get in trouble with more complicated ones. <br />
<br />
*Using XML for version round trips (constant going back & forth between FCP versions) may loose some information due to the changing nature of the XML implementation in different FCP versions <br />
<br />
*Also it needs to be clear that the "plugin" setup has to be exactly the same on both machines otherwise filters or generators might be replaced or clips might be ignored. Same fonts have to be available as well.<br />
<br />
*Keep an eye on new features of each FCP version: they may make their way into a lower version XML, but the elder version of FCP can't read it and may silently just ignore those clips or show errors which might not show a hint to the real error. <br />
<br />
*Also keep one eye on linked multi-mono audio files. Even though there is not so much difference in the XML handling, different versions of FCP do parse them their own way - they might cause some strange errors (FCP 5 can't import them). <br />
<br />
*Also keep the other eye on subclips with external audio. They will be interpreted wrong and will be out of sync.<br />
<br />
*Once more with feeling: for XML back always keep the project simple.<br />

==Media Manager: Media Not Trimming==<br />
<br />
'''From Nick Meyers'''<br />
<br />
Sometimes you go to “Delete Unused” in the Media Manager and the Green Bar indicating your new Media size doesn’t get any shorter. Or as short as you’d like it, anyway. Here's some reasons for this, and suggestions for how to deal with it: <br />
<br />
<br />
'''NO TIMECODE TRACK''' <br />
<br />
*Media Manager WILL NOT trim files that don’t have a proper timecode track. <br><br />
*Sound files such as AIFFs won't trim, but will be moved or copied in their entirety. <br><br />
*Also if you get Motion Graphics from a designer, or that you make your self, they probably wont have a proper timecode track, and wont be trimmed either. <br><br />
*Same goes for exports from FCP that you bring back in. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
The thinking here is that if there is no proper timecode, the media didn’t come from a tape, and therefore may be THE ONLY EXISTING COPY IN THE UNIVERSE!!! So Media Manager doesn’t want to take responsibility for deleting that media. This can catch you out. In some instances you could have very large files without proper timecode. The good news is that it's easy to add TC to a video clip in FCP. All you have to do is give the clip a reel number, and you can do that in the FCP Browser. This will activate a proper timecode track in the file, and NOW it will be trimmed by Media Manager.<br><br />
<br />
<br />
'''TECHNIQUE:''' <br />
* To find all clips in your project without reel numbers, do a search in your browser for: "Type" Contains: "Clip". Add another filter of "Tracks" Contain: "V" to only get video clips <br><br />
<br />
* Sort the 'Find' results by 'Reel'. <br />
<br />
* Add an obvious Reel number to one clip, like "NO REEL" <br><br />
<br />
* Then select all the other clips with no reel number <br><br />
<br />
* Right or control click in the reel column, and you should get a list of all reel numbers used in the project.(If you can select and click on the clip you just modified, its new Reel number will be at the top of the list) <br><br />
<br />
*Select the new NO REEL reel, and it will be applied to all selected clips <br><br />
<br />
<br />
If there are clips in the sequence that aren't in the browser, select the sequence in the Browser, then go to Tools Menu > Create Master Clips. In general, there’s no need to trim audio files, as they are relatively small. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''A few things to (un)check in the Media Manager before trimming:''' <br />
<br />
*DESELECT “Include Master Clips Outside Selection” <br><br />
*DESELECT “Include Affiliate Clips Outside Selection” <br><br />
*DESELECT "Include Non-active Multiclip Angles" <br><br />
<br />
<br />
Even after all this, FCP may be hanging onto some clips due to corrupt Master / Affiliate relationships. (This is fairly old behaviour, going back to FCP version 4 and 4.5. It isn't likely you'll have this in FCP version 5 or 6.) There are two ways to fix this: <br />
<br />
*1. Copy the sequence you are attempting to manage into a new temporary project. This will “wrench” the sequence away from any master clips in the original project. (This doesn't have to be a permanent project. it only has to live long enough to perform the Media Management.) <br />
<br />
*2. Control or Right click on the sequence you are attempting to manage and choose “Make Sequence Clips Independent”. NOTE: If you do this, you will lose the ability to Matchframe back to a bin! If you are not ready to put the project to bed, this might not be a good idea, so I recommend the "copy into a new project" method<br><br />

==How do I convert my Quicktime Movies to Mp4==<br />
<br />
'''From Strypes''' <br />
<br />
Compressor has great tools for resizing and deinterlacing, but it does not do H.264 with an Mp4 wrapper. So here's how to quickly re-mux your web Quicktime movies encodes from Compressor into .mp4s. Download the "Compress Quicktime Using Most Recent Settings" from Automator World and install it.<br />
<br />
http://automatorworld.com/archives/compress-quicktime-to-mpeg-4/<br />
<br />
Then launch one of the web movies in Quicktime Player, and choose file>export.<br />
<br />
[[Image:01-export.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Select the "Movie to MPEG-4" and click the "options" button.<br />
<br />
[[Image:02-to_mp4.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Then select "Pass Through" for both video and audio and export it, so Quicktime saves your most recent settings.<br />
<br />
[[Image:03-passthrough.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Then launch Automator, drag your folder of web movs into the right pane, slap on the "Get Folder Contents" and the "Compress Quicktime Using Most Recent Settings" that you just downloaded. And hit run.<br />
<br />
[[Image:04-automator.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Quicktime will now mux all the mp4 compliant QT movies into an mp4 wrapper.<br />

==How do I get timecode burn-in?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
Either : <br />
<br />
1. Nest your entire timeline in a new timeline, then apply a 'Timecode Reader' or 'Timecode Generator' filter to the nest, depending on your needs. <br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
2. You can use a small free program called QTSync available here : [http://www.qtsync.com QT Sync]. <br />
If using this method, your end user will need to know the start timecode of the quicktime you send. <br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Nick Meyers''' <br />
<br />
* Create an ordinary FCP Text object in the Viewer (CONTROL-X). <br><br />
* Go into the Controls tab and erase the words "Sample Text". <br><br />
* Now put the Text object into your timeline and apply Timecode Reader to it. <br />
<br />
The Text object now acts like a layer for the timecode burn. When you don't want it, just select it and press CONTROL-B (Clip Disable). When you want it back, select and press CONTROL-B to enable it again. This saves the nesting step. <br />
<br />
<br />
Like all generators in FCP, the basic text generator has a default length of 2 mins & 10 seconds (think that's right). To change it simply go to its duration field (top left, or hit TAB after opening it to go straight there) and type in the duration you want. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Tip :''' <br />
You can option-drag values between the timecode fields in FCPs viewer, canvas, and Log & Capture widow. In this case you could hold option, drag the TC from the duration field of the canvas (assuming no in/outs in the timeline) and drop it into into the duration field of the viewer. <br />
The text overlay will now have exactly the right duration for the sequence. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Derek Mok''' <br />
<br />
If you are using Modify - Timecode on the Text clip you must enter the entire timecode including 00s at the beginning, and must choose Source TC. <br />
<br />
If Timecode Reader is already on the clip, Modify - Timecode will NOT update the filter. The timecode on the filter will continue to start at 01:00:00:00; it will not update to your modified timecode. If you cut the filter and paste it right back in, the numbers will be updated. <br />

==How do I export to WMV?==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
Programs such as [http://www.flip4mac.com/ 'Flip4Mac'] are useful for converting projects to WMV. However, the free demonstration version of Flip4Mac will only encode half of your project. If you find that about half of your media is missing from your WMVs, you need to upgrade to a paid version of Flip4Mac. <br />
<br />
<br />
Also worth a look are [http://www.telestream.net/products/episode_series.htm 'Episode Pro from Telestream'] which has univeral binaries (for Intel based Macs) <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Loren Miller''' <br />
<br />
AutoDesk Cleaner 6.5 allows conversion of files to Windows Media up to WMV 7. <br />
<br />
Find it here : <br />
[http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=5562025&siteID=123112 Autodesk Cleaner] <br />

<br />
'''From Craig Seeman'''<br />
<br />
[http://www.sorensonmedia.com/products/?pageID=1&ppc=3 Squeeze] now comes with very basic WMV capabilities (1 pass presets only) which can be expanded with Flip4Mac. <br />
<br />
Cleaner does WMV7 but can do WMV9 with Flip4Mac <br />
<br />
Compressor, FCP, iMovie, QuicktimePro also work with Flip4Mac. <br />
<br />
Visual Hub I believe does WMV8 and also is very inexpensive.<br />

==How do I export still images?==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Andrew Balis''' <br />
<br />
If possible, use an external (NTSC or PAL) monitor to view the frame you'd like to export. If the external monitor shows a "jittery" frame, you know its not the best choice. If you don't have an external monitor, then set the canvas in FCP to 100% which will show you both fields, and you'll be able to see the "jaggies" on the bad interlaced frames. <br />
<br />
<br />
With the playhead parked over the frame to export, choose File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion. Set to 'Still Image', click on the 'Options' button, and choose the file format of choice. <br />
<br />
<br />
If your export has to come from one of these "bad" frames, don't de-interlace first in FCP. Export the still and use the de-interlace filter in Photoshop. Also, if working with standard def footage, the exported still will look "wide". To compensate, go to Image > Image Size. Change the horizontal proportions to 90% of original (make sure contrain proportions is turned off in the window). <br />
<br />
or <br />
<br />
'''From Nick Meyers''' <br />
<br />
*Make a new bin. <br><br />
*Put your stil image source sequence in the bin. <br><br />
*Go through the sequence, stopping on each frame you want. <br><br />
*Matchframe by pressing 'f'. <br><br />
*Mark an in point. <br><br />
*Create a Subclip (a new subclip appears in the new bin) <br><br />
*Re-name to taste. <br><br />
<br />
*Collect all the new subclips. <br><br />
*Batch export (File Menu > Batch Export) <br><br />
*Now do all the stills at once. <br><br />
<br />
This article looks old, but batch export hasn't changed : [http://www.lafcpug.org/tutorials/basic_batch_export.html Fun With Batch Exporting] <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Greg Kozikowski adds:''' <br />
<br />
When you set the canvas in FCP to 100% to show both fields, it is also required that you pull your Canvas frame larger and larger until there is gray all around the picture. If you don't do that, you're still only watching one field. <br />

==How can I compress for the Web?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
This answer is provided in the interest of helping people who have no idea what to do to get a clip out to the Web at a reasonable size and quality. It can not and does not come anywhere near close to giving the definitive answer for compression, as this is an entirely variable artform, based on dozens of different factors. But, you never know, this might work for you. Give it a shot. <br />
<br />
<br />
* Out of FCP, choose the section you want to export on the timeline using in an out, if required. <br />
* Then go to File > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion. <br />
* Then at the bottom of this window choose Format : Quicktime movie and click the 'options' button. <br />
* In the next window that pops up click on 'settings'. Another popup - choose Compression type : H.264. <br><br />
* Frame rate : You can set this to 10 or 15 if you need it to be really small, but set to 'current' is good if you need the motion to look good. Ignore keyframes for now. <br><br />
* Data rate : Automatic. You can restrict it if you need to. I never do. <br><br />
* Compressor quality : You can view what your picture will look like in the preview box and choose the compressor quality you like. Often there's not a lot of difference between best, high and medium, and lower compression quality does reduce your file size. <br><br />
* Click OK. <br><br />
* Then back in your Movie settings window, choose the 'size' button. In this box, choose Dimensions > Custom. Then figure out the size of your clip. In PAL they might be something like 720 x 576, or widescreen at 1024 x 576. <br />
* Then divide these numbers by two, or three, depending on your needs, and put those numbers in the custom boxes. So, for example - 1024 x 576 divided by 3 = 341 x 192. <br />
*Click OK. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you're not using sound uncheck the 'Sound' box in the 'Movie settings' section as this saves space too. If you are using sound you will need to experiment with different settings based on the quality you need it to be. Sometimes you can get down as low as 11.025 kHz, mono and still have adequate sound. Also, check 'Prepare for internet streaming'. This makes the movie start playing while it's still loading. <br />
<br />
<br />
And that's it, really. Please note that H.264 will only play on computers that have Quicktime 7 installed. Since the iPod, iTunes has a fairly deep penetration into the market, and lots of Macs and PCs are now running QuickTime 7 because of this, but there will be some people who will not be. If this is the case for you or your client, you will need to use a different codec. <br />

==How do I use XML to open my project in an earlier version of FCP?==<br />
<br />
'''From Nick Meyers''' <br />
<br />
Final Cut Pro projects are not backwards compatible. You can't open an FCP 6 project in FCP 5, for instance. You CAN open an FCP 5 project in FCP 6, but it will permanently modified in the process, and then wont open in FCP 5. So what to do? Export As XML! <br />
<br />
<br />
With Export as XML, you can export an entire project, just one clip, or anything in between: a bin of clips, an individual sequence or whatever. (You will see a summary of your selection in the Export XML window) You can then open the XML document in an earlier version of FCP. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''IMPORTANT''': Each new version of FCP includes a newly updated version of the XML protocol. You need to choose the version of XML you chose according to the version of FCP you want it to open in. (List follows below) <br />
<br />
<br />
'''To EXPORT the XML'''<br> <br />
* Select your items <br><br />
* File Menu > Export > XML (or right click on the selection and Export > XML) <br><br />
* Select your XML version <br><br />
<br />
<br />
'''To IMPORT the XML''' <br><br />
* Double Click on the XML file <br><br />
OR <br><br />
* Import > XML (or right click in the browser and Import > XML) <br><br />
* Choose if you want to import the XML into your current project, or create a new one. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
That's the basics, and you can get a tutorial with PICTURES here: [http://www.lafcpug.org/Tutorials/basic_fcp5_to_4.html Open FCP5 projects in FCP4 with XML Export/Import] or read the FCP Manual. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''XML / FCP version Compatibility''' <br />
<br />
*Use XML version 1 for going to Final Cut Pro 4.1 <br />
*Use XML version 2 for going to Final Cut Pro 5.0 <br />
*Use XML version 3 for going to Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 <br />
*Use XML version 4 for going to Final Cut Pro 6 <br />
<br />
<br />
• If in doubt, make more than one version. <br />
<br />
• If you are taking this to an On-Line, or other post house, talk to them first. <br />
<br />
• It should be noted that features that aren't available in your target version of FCP wont show up. For example you can't export an XML of a multiclip sequence, and expect to see multiclips in FCP4.5! <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Andreas Kiel''', XML guru adds: <br />
<br />
*XML works fine with "simple" projects, but one may get in trouble with more complicated ones. <br />
<br />
*Using XML for version round trips (constant going back & forth between FCP versions) may loose some information due to the changing nature of the XML implementation in different FCP versions <br />
<br />
*Also it needs to be clear that the "plugin" setup has to be exactly the same on both machines otherwise filters or generators might be replaced or clips might be ignored. Same fonts have to be available as well.<br />
<br />
*Keep an eye on new features of each FCP version: they may make their way into a lower version XML, but the elder version of FCP can't read it and may silently just ignore those clips or show errors which might not show a hint to the real error. <br />
<br />
*Also keep one eye on linked multi-mono audio files. Even though there is not so much difference in the XML handling, different versions of FCP do parse them their own way - they might cause some strange errors (FCP 5 can't import them). <br />
<br />
*Also keep the other eye on subclips with external audio. They will be interpreted wrong and will be out of sync.<br />
<br />
*Once more with feeling: for XML back always keep the project simple.<br />

==How do I upload my Movie to YouTube with Maximum Quality?==<br />

"What people tend to forget is that you are sending YouTube a master for them to compress, therefore send the highest quality you can, that fits with their limitations." <br />

There are a three tutorials you should read that will help you achieve maximum quality before sending your movie to YouTube for further compression. <br />

==Media Manager: Media Not Trimming==<br />
<br />
'''From Nick Meyers'''<br />
<br />
Sometimes you go to “Delete Unused” in the Media Manager and the Green Bar indicating your new Media size doesn’t get any shorter. Or as short as you’d like it, anyway. Here's some reasons for this, and suggestions for how to deal with it: <br />
<br />
<br />
'''NO TIMECODE TRACK''' <br />
<br />
*Media Manager WILL NOT trim files that don’t have a proper timecode track. <br><br />
*Sound files such as AIFFs won't trim, but will be moved or copied in their entirety. <br><br />
*Also if you get Motion Graphics from a designer, or that you make your self, they probably wont have a proper timecode track, and wont be trimmed either. <br><br />
*Same goes for exports from FCP that you bring back in. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
The thinking here is that if there is no proper timecode, the media didn’t come from a tape, and therefore may be THE ONLY EXISTING COPY IN THE UNIVERSE!!! So Media Manager doesn’t want to take responsibility for deleting that media. This can catch you out. In some instances you could have very large files without proper timecode. The good news is that it's easy to add TC to a video clip in FCP. All you have to do is give the clip a reel number, and you can do that in the FCP Browser. This will activate a proper timecode track in the file, and NOW it will be trimmed by Media Manager.<br><br />
<br />
<br />
'''TECHNIQUE:''' <br />
* To find all clips in your project without reel numbers, do a search in your browser for: "Type" Contains: "Clip". Add another filter of "Tracks" Contain: "V" to only get video clips <br><br />
<br />
* Sort the 'Find' results by 'Reel'. <br />
<br />
* Add an obvious Reel number to one clip, like "NO REEL" <br><br />
<br />
* Then select all the other clips with no reel number <br><br />
<br />
* Right or control click in the reel column, and you should get a list of all reel numbers used in the project.(If you can select and click on the clip you just modified, its new Reel number will be at the top of the list) <br><br />
<br />
*Select the new NO REEL reel, and it will be applied to all selected clips <br><br />
<br />
<br />
If there are clips in the sequence that aren't in the browser, select the sequence in the Browser, then go to Tools Menu > Create Master Clips. In general, there’s no need to trim audio files, as they are relatively small. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''A few things to (un)check in the Media Manager before trimming:''' <br />
<br />
*DESELECT “Include Master Clips Outside Selection” <br><br />
*DESELECT “Include Affiliate Clips Outside Selection” <br><br />
*DESELECT "Include Non-active Multiclip Angles" <br><br />
<br />
<br />
Even after all this, FCP may be hanging onto some clips due to corrupt Master / Affiliate relationships. (This is fairly old behaviour, going back to FCP version 4 and 4.5. It isn't likely you'll have this in FCP version 5 or 6.) There are two ways to fix this: <br />
<br />
*1. Copy the sequence you are attempting to manage into a new temporary project. This will “wrench” the sequence away from any master clips in the original project. (This doesn't have to be a permanent project. it only has to live long enough to perform the Media Management.) <br />
<br />
*2. Control or Right click on the sequence you are attempting to manage and choose “Make Sequence Clips Independent”. NOTE: If you do this, you will lose the ability to Matchframe back to a bin! If you are not ready to put the project to bed, this might not be a good idea, so I recommend the "copy into a new project" method<br><br />
<br><br />

==How do I convert my Quicktime Movies to Mp4==<br />
<br />
'''From Strypes''' <br />
<br />
Compressor has great tools for resizing and deinterlacing, but it does not do H.264 with an Mp4 wrapper. So here's how to quickly re-mux your web Quicktime movies encodes from Compressor into .mp4s. Download the "Compress Quicktime Using Most Recent Settings" from Automator World and install it.<br />
<br />
http://automatorworld.com/archives/compress-quicktime-to-mpeg-4/<br />
<br />
Then launch one of the web movies in Quicktime Player, and choose file>export.<br />
<br />
[[Image:01-export.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Select the "Movie to MPEG-4" and click the "options" button.<br />
<br />
[[Image:02-to_mp4.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Then select "Pass Through" for both video and audio and export it, so Quicktime saves your most recent settings.<br />
<br />
[[Image:03-passthrough.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Then launch Automator, drag your folder of web movs into the right pane, slap on the "Get Folder Contents" and the "Compress Quicktime Using Most Recent Settings" that you just downloaded. And hit run.<br />
<br />
[[Image:04-automator.jpg]]<br />
<br />
Quicktime will now mux all the mp4 compliant QT movies into an mp4 wrapper.<br />
<br />

==How do I connect an external monitor?==<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
You can connect an external monitor using this path : Mac > Firewire > Camera or deck > RCA cable (the red, white and yellow type that comes with most DVD players is fine) > TV. <br />
<br />
Make sure all external devices are on before you open FCP, so that it can detect them, then in View > External video > select ‘All Frames’, and in View > Video Playback > select Apple Firewire NTSC or Apple Firewire PAL, depending on the standard of the country you are in. <br />
<br />
If the monitor has speakers, make sure that View > Audio Playback is set to ‘Firewire DV’, or ‘Audio Follows Video’. <br />

==How much RAM do I need to run FCS?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br />
<br />
Apple says you can run FCP's HD features with a minimum of 1GB of Ram. They recommend 2GB of RAM when working with compressed HD and uncompressed SD sources, and 4GB of RAM when working with uncompressed HD sources and so do we. FCP will not utilize more than 4GBs of RAM as of this writing. Motion however, will utilize as much RAM as you can throw into your Mac.<br />

==How much storage do I need?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry:''' <br><br />
<br />
You should typically plan for 200% or more of the raw size of your video content. This allows for the render files and scratch space needed for various processes. Here's a guide for the data rates and raw space requirements for various video formats: <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''NTSC DV''' or '''PAL DV''' (5:1 compression) : <br />
* 3.6 MB/Sec, or 1 GB/4.5 minutes or 13 GB/hour <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''NTSC DV50''' : <br />
* Double the above <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''525 NTSC uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 20.97 MB per/sec, or 76 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 23.07 MB per/sec, or 83 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''625 PAL uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 20.74 MB per/sec, or 75 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 22.81 MB per/sec, or 82 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''720p HDTV uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 110.48 MB per/sec, or 398 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 121.52 MB per/sec, or 438 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''1080i and 1080p HDTV uncompressed''' : <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 99.53 MB per/sec, or 358 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 109.43 MB per/sec, or 394 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 103.68 MB per/sec, or 373 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 114.05 MB per/sec, or 411 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97fps = 124.29 MB per/sec, or 447 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97fps = 136.72 MB per/sec, or 492 GB per/hr. <br />

==What is dropframe and non-dropframe timecode?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry''' : <br />
<br />
Dropframe timecode is a leapyear-like trick used to compensate for the fact that 29.97fps (the NTSC standard), doesn't match the master clocks used in broadcast facilities. It works by dropping the first 2 framecounts (not frames) of video every minute, except for minutes divisible by 10. If that's just confusing, all you need to know is that all NTSC DV uses dropframe timecode, and so should you. <br />
<br />
Dropframe timecode is always notated in the format 00:00:00;00, with a semi-colon separator between the seconds and frames. Non-dropframe uses colons for all separators. <br />
<br />

'''From Michael Horton''' <br />
<br />
Apple has complied a list of qualified devices that are officially supported for use in Final Cut Studio. You can find this list on the [http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/supportdevices.php Final Cut Studio Resources] page at Apple.com.<br><br />
<br />
If you find your device is not on this list, it does NOT mean the device will not work with Final Cut Studio. It means Apple has not yet tested the device and thus can't officially support it.<br />

==How do I register Quicktime Pro?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
QuickTime Pro comes with any copy of Final Cut Pro. You do not have to purchase it separately. <br />
<br />
In early versions of FCP you needed to register your QuickTime Pro copy before some of the features were active. The latest versions of FCS handle this automatically. However, if you find that you are not running the 'Pro' version, whether you bought the upgrade online or it came with your latest FCS upgrade, the instructions on how to register your copy can be found here : [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/unlock-mac_osx.html Quicktime Pro Registration]<br><br />

==Which brands of external drives are recommended?==<br />
<br />
Before you read on, read this AppleCare Doc from Apple on choosing a Hard Drive:<br />
<br />
[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58636 Choosing a Hard Disk]<br />
<br />
'''From Derek Mok'''<br />
<br />
First, several tips: <br />
<br />
a) Bear in mind that proper maintenance and usage are necessary to ensure a long healthy life for your storage devices. Make sure you dismount them from your desktop (APPLE-E) before turning the power off your drive. <br />
<br />
b) USB drives are almost never fast enough to keep up with capturing and editing. You must use at least FireWire 400. <br />
<br />
c) [http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html DiskWarrior] is a recommended utility application to have handy whenever you use external drives for editing. <br />
<br />
<br />
This list in is no particular order. All are considered good, solid systems.<br />

<br />
<br />
Two very common brands, Lacie and Maxtor, have in my esteem received more mixed reviews in terms of performance and durability. However, brand names are not a guarantee of a drive's performance, and even the best drives recommended by professionals can fail, especially if misused, eg. left on for days at a time for no reason, chained with a camera/deck/capture device, or when put into too large a chain of drives. You should always implement a backup system to guard against data loss.<br />

==Should I get FCP or FCE?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br />
<br />
Final Cut Express is a slightly dumbed down version of Final Cut Pro. The main differences are :<br />
<br />
<br />
* FCE can only work with DV, DVCAM, HDV and AVCHD. It cannot use IMX, DVCPRO 50, Uncompressed 8 bit SD, uncompressed 10 bit HD, XDCAM, work in 24 fps or any of the host of other new high-end formats on the market. <br />
<br />
* FCE does not contain a lot of the high-end tools required for working in broadcast, such as XML exchange, OMF export, RSS-422 deck control, batch capture, timecode display and Cinema tools integration. <br />
<br />
* Multicam is not supported. <br />
<br />
* There is only basic colour correction support. The Three-Way Colour Corrector is not included. There are no scopes, frame viewer or range checkers. <br />
<br />
* The Keyboard is not mappable and window layouts can't be saved. <br />
<br />
* The applications 'Compressor', 'Cinema Tools', 'Color', 'Soundtrack Pro', 'DVD Studio Pro' and 'Motion' are not included. <br />
<br />
<br />
If none of these things actually mean anything to you, and you are not working in a broadcast environment, you could be a good candidate for Final Cut Express.<br />

==How do I calibrate my broadcast monitor?==<br />
<br />
'''From (and copyright) The Final Cut Pro User Manual, onboard all copies of FCP under the 'Help' menu'''. <br />
<br />
Monitors are calibrated using SMPTE standard color bars. Brightness and contrast are adjusted by eye, using the color bars onscreen. Adjusting chroma and phase involves using the “blue only” button found on professional video monitors. This calibration should be done to all monitors in use, whether they’re in the field or in the editing room. To calibrate your monitor: <br />
<br />
<br />
*1: Connect a color bars or test pattern generator to the monitor you’re using. <br />
<br />
<br />
*2: Alternatively, you can one of the built-in color bars generators in Final Cut Pro. Avoid using still image graphics of color bars. <br />
<br />
<br />
*3: Turn on the monitor and wait at least ten minutes for the monitor to reach a stable operating temperature. <br />
<br />
<br />
*4: Select the appropriate input on the video monitor so that the color bars are visible on the screen. <br />
<br />
<br />
Near the bottom right corner of the color bars are three black bars of varying intensities. Each one corresponds to a different brightness value, measured in IRE. (IRE originally stood for Institute of Radio Engineers, which has since merged into the <br />
modern IEEE organization; the measurement is a video-specific unit of voltage.) These are the PLUGE (Picture Lineup Generation Equipment) bars, and they allow you to adjust the brightness and contrast of a video monitor by helping you establish what absolute black should be. <br />
<br />
<br />
*5: Turn the chroma level on the monitor all the way down. <br />
<br />
This is a temporary adjustment which allows you to make more accurate luma adjustments. The chroma control may also be labeled color or saturation. <br />
<br />
<br />
*6: Adjust the brightness control of your monitor to the point where you can no longer distinguish between the two PLUGE bars on the left and the adjacent black square. At this point, the brightest of the bars (11.5 IRE) should just barely be visible, while the two PLUGE bars on the left (5 IRE and 7.5 IRE) appear to be the same level of black. <br />
<br />
<br />
*7: Now, turn the contrast all the way up so that this bar becomes bright, and then turn it back down. The point where this bar is barely visible is the correct contrast setting for your monitor. (The example shown below is exaggerated to demonstrate.) <br />
<br />
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/lafcpug/pluge.png<br />
<br />
When adjusting the contrast, also watch the white square in the lower left. If the <br />
contrast is too high, the white square appears to “spill” into the surrounding squares. <br />
Adjust the contrast until the luma of the white square no longer “spills” into <br />
surrounding squares. <br />
<br />
<br />
*8: Once you are finished adjusting luma settings, turn up the chroma control to the middle (detent) position. Note: Some knobs stop subtly at a default position. This is known as the detent position of the knob. <br />
<br />
<br />
*9: Press the “blue only” button on the front of your monitor. Note: This button is usually only available on professional monitors. Notice how all of the differently colored bars turn into alternating light and dark ones. If your monitor is correctly calibrated, all the gray bars will be evenly gray and all the black bars evenly black. If the two outer gray bars don’t match, adjust the chroma control of the monitor until they do. Then adjust the phase control to even out the inner bars. <br />
<br />
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/lafcpug/phase.png<br />
<br />
Note: NTSC and PAL video have brightness and contrast levels that are very different from those of RGB computer displays. Broadcast video viewed on a computer monitor often looks dull and dark, whereas the same video viewed on a broadcast monitor will be bright and clear. For this reason, the color bars above are shown for reference only and not to reflect what you should be seeing.<br />

==RTFM! Where do I find Manuals?==<br />
<br />
'''From Joey "grafixjoe" Morelli'''<br />
<br />
The Manual is an oft ignored - very handy piece of software that, oddly enough, is built right into the Final Cut Pro application so no need to "crack a book". Checking the manual BEFORE POSTING could eliminate many redundant inquiries. Here's a short tutorial on "cracking the digital manual":<br />
<br />
• Launch Final Cut Pro<br />
<br />
• Menu Bar / Help / Final Cut Pro User Manual<br />

==How do I connect an external monitor?==<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br> <br />
<br />
You can connect an external monitor using this path : Mac > Firewire > Camera or deck > RCA cable (the red, white and yellow type that comes with most DVD players is fine) > TV. <br />
<br />
Make sure all external devices are on before you open FCP, so that it can detect them, then in View > External video > select ‘All Frames’, and in View > Video Playback > select Apple Firewire NTSC or Apple Firewire PAL, depending on the standard of the country you are in. <br />
<br />
If the monitor has speakers, make sure that View > Audio Playback is set to ‘Firewire DV’, or ‘Audio Follows Video’. <br />
<br />

==How much RAM do I need to run FCS?==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br />
<br />
Apple says you can run FCP's HD features with a minimum of 1GB of Ram. They recommend 2GB of RAM when working with compressed HD and uncompressed SD sources, and 4GB of RAM when working with uncompressed HD sources and so do we. FCP will not utilize more than 4GBs of RAM as of this writing. Motion however, will utilize as much RAM as you can throw into your Mac.<br />

==How much storage do I need?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry:''' <br><br />
<br />
You should typically plan for 200% or more of the raw size of your video content. This allows for the render files and scratch space needed for various processes. Here's a guide for the data rates and raw space requirements for various video formats: <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''NTSC DV''' or '''PAL DV''' (5:1 compression) : <br />
* 3.6 MB/Sec, or 1 GB/4.5 minutes or 13 GB/hour <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''NTSC DV50''' : <br />
* Double the above <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''525 NTSC uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 20.97 MB per/sec, or 76 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 720 x 486 @ 29.97fps = 23.07 MB per/sec, or 83 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''625 PAL uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 20.74 MB per/sec, or 75 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 720 x 576 @ 25fps = 22.81 MB per/sec, or 82 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''720p HDTV uncompressed''' : <br />
* 8 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 110.48 MB per/sec, or 398 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1280 x 720 @ 59.94field = 121.52 MB per/sec, or 438 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* '''1080i and 1080p HDTV uncompressed''' : <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 99.53 MB per/sec, or 358 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 24fps = 109.43 MB per/sec, or 394 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 103.68 MB per/sec, or 373 GB per/hr. <br />
* 10 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 25fps = 114.05 MB per/sec, or 411 GB per/hr. <br />
<br />
<br />
* 8 bit @ 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97fps = 124.29 MB per/sec, or 447 GB per/hr. <br />

==What is dropframe and non-dropframe timecode?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry''' : <br />
<br />
Dropframe timecode is a leapyear-like trick used to compensate for the fact that 29.97fps (the NTSC standard), doesn't match the master clocks used in broadcast facilities. It works by dropping the first 2 framecounts (not frames) of video every minute, except for minutes divisible by 10. If that's just confusing, all you need to know is that all NTSC DV uses dropframe timecode, and so should you. <br />
<br />
Dropframe timecode is always notated in the format 00:00:00;00, with a semi-colon separator between the seconds and frames. Non-dropframe uses colons for all separators. <br />

Apple has complied a list of qualified devices that are officially supported for use in Final Cut Studio. You can find this list on the [http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/supportdevices.php Final Cut Studio Resources] page at Apple.com.<br><br />
<br />
If you find your device is not on this list, it does NOT mean the device will not work with Final Cut Studio. It means Apple has not yet tested the device and thus can't officially support it.<br />

==How do I register Quicktime Pro?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
QuickTime Pro comes with any copy of Final Cut Pro. You do not have to purchase it separately. <br />
<br />
In early versions of FCP you needed to register your QuickTime Pro copy before some of the features were active. The latest versions of FCS handle this automatically. However, if you find that you are not running the 'Pro' version, whether you bought the upgrade online or it came with your latest FCS upgrade, the instructions on how to register your copy can be found here : [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/unlock-mac_osx.html Quicktime Pro Registration]<br><br />

==Which brands of external drives are recommended?==<br />
<br />
Before you read on, read this AppleCare Doc from Apple on choosing a Hard Drive:<br />
<br />
[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58636 Choosing a Hard Disk]<br />
<br />
'''From Derek Mok'''<br />
<br />
First, several tips: <br />
<br />
a) Bear in mind that proper maintenance and usage are necessary to ensure a long healthy life for your storage devices. Make sure you dismount them from your desktop (APPLE-E) before turning the power off your drive. <br />
<br />
b) USB drives are almost never fast enough to keep up with capturing and editing. You must use at least FireWire 400. <br />
<br />
c) [http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html DiskWarrior] is a recommended utility application to have handy whenever you use external drives for editing. <br />
<br />
<br />
This list in is no particular order. All are considered good, solid systems.<br />

<br />
<br />
Two very common brands, Lacie and Maxtor, have in my esteem received more mixed reviews in terms of performance and durability. However, brand names are not a guarantee of a drive's performance, and even the best drives recommended by professionals can fail, especially if misused, eg. left on for days at a time for no reason, chained with a camera/deck/capture device, or when put into too large a chain of drives. You should always implement a backup system to guard against data loss.<br />

==Should I get FCP or FCE?==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br />
<br />
Final Cut Express is a slightly dumbed down version of Final Cut Pro. The main differences are :<br />
<br />
<br />
* FCE can only work with DV, DVCAM, HDV and AVCHD. It cannot use IMX, DVCPRO 50, Uncompressed 8 bit SD, uncompressed 10 bit HD, XDCAM, work in 24 fps or any of the host of other new high-end formats on the market. <br />
<br />
* FCE does not contain a lot of the high-end tools required for working in broadcast, such as XML exchange, OMF export, RSS-422 deck control, batch capture, timecode display and Cinema tools integration. <br />
<br />
* Multicam is not supported. <br />
<br />
* There is only basic colour correction support. The Three-Way Colour Corrector is not included. There are no scopes, frame viewer or range checkers. <br />
<br />
* The Keyboard is not mappable and window layouts can't be saved. <br />
<br />
* The applications 'Compressor', 'Cinema Tools', 'Color', 'Soundtrack Pro', 'DVD Studio Pro' and 'Motion' are not included. <br />
<br />
<br />
If none of these things actually mean anything to you, and you are not working in a broadcast environment, you could be a good candidate for Final Cut Express.<br />

==How do I calibrate my broadcast monitor?==<br />
<br />
'''From (and copyright) The Final Cut Pro User Manual, onboard all copies of FCP under the 'Help' menu'''. <br />
<br />
Monitors are calibrated using SMPTE standard color bars. Brightness and contrast are adjusted by eye, using the color bars onscreen. Adjusting chroma and phase involves using the “blue only” button found on professional video monitors. This calibration should be done to all monitors in use, whether they’re in the field or in the editing room. To calibrate your monitor: <br />
<br />
<br />
*1: Connect a color bars or test pattern generator to the monitor you’re using. <br />
<br />
<br />
*2: Alternatively, you can one of the built-in color bars generators in Final Cut Pro. Avoid using still image graphics of color bars. <br />
<br />
<br />
*3: Turn on the monitor and wait at least ten minutes for the monitor to reach a stable operating temperature. <br />
<br />
<br />
*4: Select the appropriate input on the video monitor so that the color bars are visible on the screen. <br />
<br />
<br />
Near the bottom right corner of the color bars are three black bars of varying intensities. Each one corresponds to a different brightness value, measured in IRE. (IRE originally stood for Institute of Radio Engineers, which has since merged into the <br />
modern IEEE organization; the measurement is a video-specific unit of voltage.) These are the PLUGE (Picture Lineup Generation Equipment) bars, and they allow you to adjust the brightness and contrast of a video monitor by helping you establish what absolute black should be. <br />
<br />
<br />
*5: Turn the chroma level on the monitor all the way down. <br />
<br />
This is a temporary adjustment which allows you to make more accurate luma adjustments. The chroma control may also be labeled color or saturation. <br />
<br />
<br />
*6: Adjust the brightness control of your monitor to the point where you can no longer distinguish between the two PLUGE bars on the left and the adjacent black square. At this point, the brightest of the bars (11.5 IRE) should just barely be visible, while the two PLUGE bars on the left (5 IRE and 7.5 IRE) appear to be the same level of black. <br />
<br />
<br />
*7: Now, turn the contrast all the way up so that this bar becomes bright, and then turn it back down. The point where this bar is barely visible is the correct contrast setting for your monitor. (The example shown below is exaggerated to demonstrate.) <br />
<br />
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/lafcpug/pluge.png<br />
<br />
When adjusting the contrast, also watch the white square in the lower left. If the <br />
contrast is too high, the white square appears to “spill” into the surrounding squares. <br />
Adjust the contrast until the luma of the white square no longer “spills” into <br />
surrounding squares. <br />
<br />
<br />
*8: Once you are finished adjusting luma settings, turn up the chroma control to the middle (detent) position. Note: Some knobs stop subtly at a default position. This is known as the detent position of the knob. <br />
<br />
<br />
*9: Press the “blue only” button on the front of your monitor. Note: This button is usually only available on professional monitors. Notice how all of the differently colored bars turn into alternating light and dark ones. If your monitor is correctly calibrated, all the gray bars will be evenly gray and all the black bars evenly black. If the two outer gray bars don’t match, adjust the chroma control of the monitor until they do. Then adjust the phase control to even out the inner bars. <br />
<br />
http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/lafcpug/phase.png<br />
<br />
Note: NTSC and PAL video have brightness and contrast levels that are very different from those of RGB computer displays. Broadcast video viewed on a computer monitor often looks dull and dark, whereas the same video viewed on a broadcast monitor will be bright and clear. For this reason, the color bars above are shown for reference only and not to reflect what you should be seeing.<br />

==RTFM! Where do I find Manuals?==<br />
<br />
'''From Joey "grafixjoe" Morelli'''<br />
<br />
The Manual is an oft ignored - very handy piece of software that, oddly enough, is built right into the Final Cut Pro application so no need to "crack a book". Checking the manual BEFORE POSTING could eliminate many redundant inquiries. Here's a short tutorial on "cracking the digital manual":<br />

==I can't capture (or save) files over 2GBs==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter'''<br />
<br />
If you're capturing video and all the files are coming up as less than 2GB, and you're getting weird file names with a long string of numbers attached to them / with the extension .av, check the formatting of the drive you're capturing to. It is likely that it's misformatted. You must format a drive to Mac OS Extended before you use it for capturing. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
To do this, open Disk Utility (Your main Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility) and select the name of the capture drive in the left hand panel. Click on the ‘Erase’ tab (don’t panic, this does not erase the drive, yet) and check that the volume format is Mac OS Extended. If it is not Mac OS Extended (preferably not ‘Journaled’) you will have to reformat the drive. This means erasing all the information that is currently on the drive. If this is what you want to do, just select the correct format and press Erase. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
Other things that it could be:<br> <br />
*Early versions of Mac OS 9 did not recognise files larger than 2GB. If you need to stay in OS9, upgrade to 9.2.2 for access to larger files.<br> <br />
<br />
*Because some drive formats do not recognise files over 2GB, there is an option in FCP to break captured or exported files into 2GB chunks. It could be that you have this option enabled. In FCP go to System Settings > Scratch Disks > and make sure that ‘Limit Capture / Export File Segment Size’ is not ticked. Note that the default is 2000MB, or 2GB.<br />

==FCP says it Can't find Timecode==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry'''<br> <br />
<br />
This can happen if: <br><br />
*There is not 10-15 seconds of pre-roll (recorded tape) before or post-roll (same thing) after your in/out points. If this is the case you may have to use Capture Now. Remember to always record 15-30 seconds pre and post roll so FCP and your deck can comfortably find the in and out points. <br />
<br />
*You have timecode breaks in the tape (sections where the timecode starts over) and FCP is looking for a timecode that doesn't exist in the current section. Manually forward or reverse the tape until you are near the desired timecode and FCP should find it. <br />
<br />
*The tape is forwarded past the end of timecode. Rewind the tape so that playhead is in the timecoded (recorded) section.<br />

==FCP reports Timecode Breaks==<br />
<br />
'''From Jim Perry:''' <br />
<br><br />
Your DV camera records a continuous timecode stream along with your video and audio. When you stop and re-start recording, your camera will check to see if there is a timecode on the tape under the playhead. If so, it will pick up timecode recording where it left off. If not, it will re-start the timecode at 00:00:00;01. This is a timecode break, and it means that Final Cut Pro can get confused -- for instance there may be two places in the tape where the timecode 00:02:00;01 occurs. <br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
'''To avoid timecode breaks, follow these practices:''' <br />
<br><br />
<br />
*Make sure you always have the tape positioned so that recording will start from a recorded portion of the tape. If you simply stop and re-start recording your camera will take care of this. If you have used the playback controls to review your tape, re-start recording a second or two back into the previously recorded section. Most cameras have a "record-search" function to facilitate this. Think of this as a "shingled" strategy, where each new clip overlaps the previous one. <br />
<br />
*Be sure to record a few seconds of tape before and after each clip. This way you have room to position the next recording with plenty of overlap without cutting off the previous shot. <br />
<br />
*If you re-use a tape be sure to use the "shingled" strategy as above and do not capture across the break from new to old material. The camera will pick up the correct starting timecode, but if tape stretches even one frame during the new recording the last timecode of the new material will not match the old timecode at the end of the clip, and thus you will have a timecode break. <br />
<br />
*This leads to a controversial tip: do not pre-stripe (pre-record to lay down continuous timecode) your tapes. You can be confident in your camera's ability to lay good, continuous timecode going forward into blank tape, but you cannot count on most cameras being frame-accurate at the end of a 20 minute recording so that the last frame of the new clip matches the old timecode. If you follow the advise above you will avoid timecode breaks without the risk or hassle of pre-striping. <br />
<br />
*Lastly, you can tell FCP how you want timecode breaks handled in the User Preferences settings.<br />

==FCP 4.5 (and older) drops frames with 10.4.9 capture==<br />
<br />
'''From Shane Ross''' <br />
<br />
Apple's solution: Archive and install the OS again, this time updating only to 10.4.8. <br />
<br />
Another COOL solution: '''Samba2007''' posted that a friend solved the FCP 4.5 + OSX 10.4.9 capture issue by adding the Capture Scratch folder to the Privacy list of Spotlight: <br />
<br />
To do the same, follow these steps : <br />
<br />
*1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences. <br><br />
*2. From the View menu, choose Spotlight. <br><br />
*3. Click the Privacy tab to reveal the areas that Spotlight will not index. <br><br />
*4. In the Finder, open your "Final Cut Pro Documents" folder. <br><br />
*5. Drag the Capture Scratch folder into Spotlight's list. <br><br />
*6. Restart the computer. <br><br />
<br />
Ken Stone and Phil Thomas have both confirmed that this solves the issue. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
<font color=red>Update 23rd June, 2007 </font>: The 10.4.10 upgrade seems to have fixed this issue. If you are using 10.4.9 this is a free upgrade available by using your Software Update panel in System Preferences, or by downloading directly from Apple.<br />

==How do I capture and edit with anamorphic 16:9 footage?==<br />
<br />
'''From Derek Mok:''' <br />
<br />
Anamorphic 16:9 is a way of recording a widescreen image (1.78:1, or 16:9) in a tape format that has a 4:3 frame. The image is recorded to the tape in a horizontally squeezed form which distorts the proportions of the objects and people in the image -- for example, a circle will become a tall oval. To compensate for this, the image is intended to be vertically "crunched" back down into a widescreen 16:9 frame by vertically distorting the image. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
Note that anamorphic 16:9 is not the same as "letterboxed 16:9" provided in some cameras. If an image is recorded in "letterboxed 16:9" mode in the camera, it simply means that black bars are added to the image inside the camera. No distortion of image proportion occurs; a circle will still look like a circle. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
Capturing anamorphic 16:9 footage seems more complicated than it is. The thing to understand is that the image on the tape is anamorphic whether you capture it as such or not. Choosing Final Cut's "Anamorphic" options will simply allow the application to add a "16:9 flag" which helps FCP recognize the clips as anamorphic and to automatically perform the "crunching" operation when needed. If you capture anamorphic 16:9 as non-anamorphic, or non-anamorphic footage as 16:9 anamorphic, there is no need to delete the clips and recapture from tape. The "anamorphic flag" for any clip can be turned on or off inside the Browser as long as you have the "Anamorphic" column turned on. And you can select multiple clips in the Browser and CONTROL-click (or right-click) on the "Anamorphic" column to apply/delete the flag on multiple clips. <br />
<br />
<br><br />
Here are some images to help explain this. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
If you wish to make an anamorphic 16:9 tape or video-DVD output of your show, then edit in a Sequence with Anamorphic 16:9 turned on (accessed via Sequences Settings -- APPLE-0). Remember that Sequence Presets under Audio/Video Settings only affects new sequences you create subsequent to changing the Preset, not to any Sequences already created. The image will remain vertically stretched so that a 16:9 monitor or 16:9-enabled DVD player will be doing the "crunch" later on for viewing purposes. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
If you wish to "letterbox" your tape or DVD, then edit with a Sequence with Anamorphic 16:9 turned off. When you edit anamorphic 16:9 clips into a non-anamorphic 16:9 sequence, FCP will usually "crunch" the clips automatically into letterboxed format. However, there are cases where this automatic distortion fails to happen. In these cases, go into the Motion tab of the clip(s) and change its Distort - Aspect Ratio setting to -33.33 to crunch an anamorphic 16:9, vertically stretched clip into letterboxed format. Note that once you perform the crunch, your footage is no longer considered anamorphic 16:9. It is simply "letterboxed 4:3". <br />

==How do I digitize 24p or 24pA?==<br />
<br />
'''From Justin Barham''' <br />
<br />
Somewhat confusingly, there are actually two types of 24p; they are 24p "Normal," and 24pA "Advanced." So the first thing you need to do is find out what type of 24p footage you have, because they are digitized and edited in different ways. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
If your footage was shot as 24p Normal, it needs to be digitized just like any other NTSC footage. Use the Easy Setup "DV-NTSC." The footage will now be treated just like any other 29.97 DV footage. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
24pA needs to be digitized in a different fashion. It should be brought in using the Easy Setup "NTSC-DV 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown Removal." Pulldown (duplicated fields) will be removed during capture, leaving one with 23.98 progressive footage, to be edited in 23.98 sequences. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
'''What's the difference between 24p and 24p Advanced?''' <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
All NTSC DV recorded to tape runs at 29.97 frames per second. The secret to creating 24p within this framework is what is called "pulldown." Pulldown involves duplicating specific fields in a predictable cadence, of which there are two common flavors: <br />
<br />
<br><br />
- '''24p Normal (aka 2:3:2:3.)''' Anyone who has ever watched a film-based program on an NTSC TV set has experienced this pulldown cadence. Today, many DV, DVCPro, and even HDV cameras (in DV mode) capture 24p to give a "film look" to 29.97i video. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br />
If you've shot 24p Normal but wish to end up with "real" 24p footage, there is a way. Since 24p Normal footage has a predictable pulldown pattern, it can also be reversed back to 23.98 progressive video using Cinema Tools. This isn't ideal for two reasons. First, it takes extra time after capture to reverse all the pulldown. More importantly, since reversing 24p Normal footage requires first decompressing and then re-compressing, image quality may suffer. Especially if it's Super-White. Of course, this doesn't matter if you're using DV as an offline format. <br />
<br />
<br><br />
- '''24pA Advanced (aka 2:3:3:2.)''' Unlike 24p Normal, this cadence is not meant to be viewed before its extraneous fields are removed. It's strictly meant to be edited at 23.98p. This is a great way to go if you're ending up on film. 24p DVDs can also be created, saving bit space that can be allocated to better image quality. This 23.98 footage can be viewed over Firewire on a normal NTSC monitor because FCP version 4.0 forward will add realtime 2:3:2:3 pulldown, with a slight CPU overhead. <br />
<br />
<br><br />

==Can't capture HDV Video.==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
If you're trying to capture HDV footage into FCP and all you get is a black screen, check if your deck or camera is set to 'i-Link Conversion'. This setting causes the deck or camera to down-convert HDV to DV automatically. If this is not what you want, turn it off. Also, make sure that your project is set up to capture HDV, not DV. <br />
<br />
<br />
More detail '''from Christina A''' <br />
<br />
With the Canon XH A1 you CANNOT change the settings that you need to change if the camera has the FireWire cable plugged into it. <br />
<br />
*1. You first need to disconnect the FireWire cable, then put your camera on VCR/Playback mode. <br />
<br />
*2. Click on the menu button and go to SIGNAL SETUP. (Since you do not have the FireWire cable plugged in, you can NOW change two important settings needed to import HD footage). <br />
<br />
*3. Under SIGNAL SETUP, scroll down to PLAYBACK STD. Click on that and make sure the HDV is set. NOT the AUTO, it most likely will not import under AUTO. Once the HDV is set, you're half-way there.<br />
<br />
*4. Next go back to SIGNAL SETUP and scroll down to HD DOWN-CONV and click on this. Make sure it is OFF. Once you set this, you're done. <br />
<br />
*5. Go back to SIGNAL SETUP and check this settings to make sure they read:<br> <br />
- PLAYBACK STD HDV <br><br />
- HD DOWN-CONV OFF <br />
<br />
*6. You can now plug in your FireWire cable and you will see after a few seconds that these settings turn "gray" and you cannot change them.<br />

==Understanding HD==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
HD is a huge and still growing field. For currency of information (and because it’s easier!) we recommend the excellent HD FAQ at [http://www.hdforindies.com/2005/05/hd-for-indies-frequently-asked www.hdforindies.com] <br />
<br />
<br />
More information '''from Graeme Nattress'''<br> <br />
<br />
HD currently has two frame sizes - 1920x1080 and 1280x720. However, it's much more complex than that because of two things - some tape formats sub-sample and don't record the full rated resolution, and the nature of interlace. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''HDCAM''' is nominally 1920x1080, and that's the size of image you get off the HDSDI ports, but it's stored on tape as 1440x1080, making it a subsampled format. HDCAM SR, the more expensive version of HDCAM does record the full 1920x1080 <br />
<br />
<br />
'''DVCProHD''' is 1280x1080 or 960x720 depending on version used. It subsamples further than HDCAM, but uses a lower bit rate too. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''D5''' is Panasonic's full raster 1920x1080 or 1280x720 format, but doesn't appear in any camcorder, but only as a deck for mastering to. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''HDV''' comes in 1280x720 (ie full raster 720p) or 1440x1080 subsampled 1080i, like HDCAM. <br />
<br />
<br />
Next there's the issue of interlace. 720p is always progressive, hence the p, and can range from 24 to 60 full frames per second depending on format. This makes every frame clean, and it compresses very well. <br />
<br />
<br />
Most 1080 formats are 1080i. That means they're interlaced, so store each frame of 1920x1080 (or 1440x1080) as two fields of 1920x540. However, it's not as simple as that, as before each field is made it is vertically filtered which reduces it's resolution to about 70% of what it started with in an attempt to reduce the nasties of interlace flicker (twitter). This means that the measurable resolution of 1080i is something like 1920x700 or 1440x700 or so, so effectively a lot of pixels are wasted on blurred data, and given the issues of compressing interlaced video makes the overall video harder to compress. <br />
<br />
<br />
Some 1080p formats are properly 1080p, and don't do interlace or it's vertical filtering and store the full resolution. These are mostly used for digital cinema, although it's still below what is normally considered the minium for cinema use - 2k.<br />
<br />

==What's the best workflow for working with HDV?==<br />
<br />
'''From Graeme Nattress:'''<br> <br />
<br />
Although many people recommend getting out of HDV as soon as you can, what is usually best for HDV is to edit nativly. Yes - this works fine, as Apple have done a superb job on the codec to make it work right. Then, right at the end of editing, you change the timeline to uncompressed, re-render, and output to your high end HD deck. Quality is maintained as best as possible throughout the whole process, and you don't need a massive raid while editing, only at the end. <br />
<br />
<br />
Dubbing to HDCAM or DVCProHD might simplify workflows for some people, but is detrimental to image quality (and resolution if you dub to DVCProHD) - dubbing to D5 or HDCAM SR might be fine for quality as they're very lightly compressed, but the others are not. HDV even stores colour with a better sampling than HDCAM! <br />

==HDV won't play on an external monitor==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br> <br />
<br />
HDV wont play out to an external monitor via Firewire. You need a Kona or Blackmagic Card. The Digital Cinema Desktop Preview is your only bet at this point. <br />
<br />
<br />
Blackmagic Design has released a $249.00 HDMI card called the Intensity that will allow you to use your big screen television and/or video projector as a monitor by connecting to the built in HDMI-out. Find it at [http://www.decklink.com/products/intensity/ Decklink.com] <br />
<br />
<br />
To turn on Digital Cinema Desktop preview, go to View > Video Playback, and select the type of playback you want. Then select View > External > All Frames. To toggle this on and off, use apple - F12.<br />

==Upconverting DV to DVCPRO HD with Compressor==<br />

==How does HDV work?==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Alister Robbie''' <br />
<br />
HDV as a format is known as a long GOP format. GOP standing for Group Of Pictures. To understand the significance of this, we need to understand a GOP and a bit more about compression. <br />
<br />
<br />
Let's start with intra-frame compression. This is compression inside a single frame - like a JPEG. It uses a bunch of algorithms to determine patterns and areas of similarity within the image so that it can ditch information without losing detail. From there we move to inter-frame compression where the compression algorithm starts comparing different frames within the clip to find similarities, and therefor ditch a bunch of data without losing detail. <br />
<br />
<br />
When you use inter-frame compression, it uses three kinds of frames referred to as "I" "B" and "P" frames. Think of the 'I' frames as complete frames - nothing missing. 'P' frames contain only the data that has changed since the last frame, 'B' frames looks at the frame before and the frame afterwards to see what has changed in either direction, and only saves that. 'B' frames are useful for when you are shuttling backwards through the footage. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
Now that we know what I, B & P frames are, we can look understand a GOP. A GOP is a group of I, B & P frames that form a small piece of video. For example, your HDV codec uses a "long GOP" structure which looks like "IBBPBBPBBPBBP" and it then repeats this structure again. The significance of this is that there is only one complete frame of information every 12 frames. This means that it takes up very little space, but will cause some issues which I will get into later. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now we compare that to most other formats/codecs designed for editing such as DV, DVCPRO, Digital Betacam etc. These formats use what are referred to as "I frame only" compression which means that every frame is a complete frame. This takes up a lot more space, but is better for cutting. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cut in HDV, technically, you can only make a cut on an I (complete) frame. If you cut on a non-I frame, you will break the GOP structure, and there will be a group of frames that do not have an I frame to refer to. You will momentarily lose the signal when the clip is played back. Compare this to DV, where you can happily cut wherever you want, and you can start to see how issues might arise. <br />
<br />
<br />
Given that people want to edit with HDV, Apple came up with few tricks to get around this issue. When you are cutting with HDV, Final Cut will allow you to make cuts on non-I frames. What the system does is in the background is at that cut point, it steps back to the last I frame and grabs that data, and adds it to the cut point so that all of the frames after that shot have an I frame to reference off. This happens everytime you make a cut in HDV. <br />
<br />
<br />
This means that your original IBBPBBPBBPBBP GOP structure might now look something like IBBPBIBBPIBIBIPIIBBPI. This is now outside the boundaries of what your HDV deck will handle, and so once you are finished, and output, Final Cut Pro goes through a process where it re-orders all of the frames, and smooths things out. It makes sure that everything is in order and that it looks like the proper IBBPBBPBBPBBP. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you change your sequence settings to another codec such as DVCPRO HD or 10bit Uncompressed (my favourite) it will force all of your long GOP HDV footage to become I frame only making it less processor intensive for your machine to work with. <br />

'''From Joey "grafixjoe" Morelli''' <br />
<br />
These are HD Square pixel frames with 4:3 (NTSC) title / action safe guides on them. The first one is 1280 x 720 and the second is 1920 x 1080. Drag them right out of this window onto your desktop, import it into your FCP Project, lay it in your timeline over all clips & add the "Screen" Composite Mode to get rid of the black leaving the guides only. <br />

==Can't capture HDV Video.==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
If you're trying to capture HDV footage into FCP and all you get is a black screen, check if your deck or camera is set to 'i-Link Conversion'. This setting causes the deck or camera to down-convert HDV to DV automatically. If this is not what you want, turn it off. Also, make sure that your project is set up to capture HDV, not DV. <br />
<br />
<br />
More detail '''from Christina A''' <br />
<br />
With the Canon XH A1 you CANNOT change the settings that you need to change if the camera has the FireWire cable plugged into it. <br />
<br />
*1. You first need to disconnect the FireWire cable, then put your camera on VCR/Playback mode. <br />
<br />
*2. Click on the menu button and go to SIGNAL SETUP. (Since you do not have the FireWire cable plugged in, you can NOW change two important settings needed to import HD footage). <br />
<br />
*3. Under SIGNAL SETUP, scroll down to PLAYBACK STD. Click on that and make sure the HDV is set. NOT the AUTO, it most likely will not import under AUTO. Once the HDV is set, you're half-way there.<br />
<br />
*4. Next go back to SIGNAL SETUP and scroll down to HD DOWN-CONV and click on this. Make sure it is OFF. Once you set this, you're done. <br />
<br />
*5. Go back to SIGNAL SETUP and check this settings to make sure they read:<br> <br />
- PLAYBACK STD HDV <br><br />
- HD DOWN-CONV OFF <br />
<br />
*6. You can now plug in your FireWire cable and you will see after a few seconds that these settings turn "gray" and you cannot change them.<br />

==Understanding HD==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
HD is a huge and still growing field. For currency of information (and because it’s easier!) we recommend the excellent HD FAQ at [http://www.hdforindies.com/2005/05/hd-for-indies-frequently-asked www.hdforindies.com] <br />
<br />
<br />
More information '''from Graeme Nattress'''<br> <br />
<br />
HD currently has two frame sizes - 1920x1080 and 1280x720. However, it's much more complex than that because of two things - some tape formats sub-sample and don't record the full rated resolution, and the nature of interlace. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''HDCAM''' is nominally 1920x1080, and that's the size of image you get off the HDSDI ports, but it's stored on tape as 1440x1080, making it a subsampled format. HDCAM SR, the more expensive version of HDCAM does record the full 1920x1080 <br />
<br />
<br />
'''DVCProHD''' is 1280x1080 or 960x720 depending on version used. It subsamples further than HDCAM, but uses a lower bit rate too. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''D5''' is Panasonic's full raster 1920x1080 or 1280x720 format, but doesn't appear in any camcorder, but only as a deck for mastering to. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''HDV''' comes in 1280x720 (ie full raster 720p) or 1440x1080 subsampled 1080i, like HDCAM. <br />
<br />
<br />
Next there's the issue of interlace. 720p is always progressive, hence the p, and can range from 24 to 60 full frames per second depending on format. This makes every frame clean, and it compresses very well. <br />
<br />
<br />
Most 1080 formats are 1080i. That means they're interlaced, so store each frame of 1920x1080 (or 1440x1080) as two fields of 1920x540. However, it's not as simple as that, as before each field is made it is vertically filtered which reduces it's resolution to about 70% of what it started with in an attempt to reduce the nasties of interlace flicker (twitter). This means that the measurable resolution of 1080i is something like 1920x700 or 1440x700 or so, so effectively a lot of pixels are wasted on blurred data, and given the issues of compressing interlaced video makes the overall video harder to compress. <br />
<br />
<br />
Some 1080p formats are properly 1080p, and don't do interlace or it's vertical filtering and store the full resolution. These are mostly used for digital cinema, although it's still below what is normally considered the minium for cinema use - 2k.<br />

==What's the best workflow for working with HDV?==<br />
<br />
'''From Graeme Nattress:'''<br> <br />
<br />
Although many people recommend getting out of HDV as soon as you can, what is usually best for HDV is to edit nativly. Yes - this works fine, as Apple have done a superb job on the codec to make it work right. Then, right at the end of editing, you change the timeline to uncompressed, re-render, and output to your high end HD deck. Quality is maintained as best as possible throughout the whole process, and you don't need a massive raid while editing, only at the end. <br />
<br />
<br />
Dubbing to HDCAM or DVCProHD might simplify workflows for some people, but is detrimental to image quality (and resolution if you dub to DVCProHD) - dubbing to D5 or HDCAM SR might be fine for quality as they're very lightly compressed, but the others are not. HDV even stores colour with a better sampling than HDCAM! <br />
<br />
<br />

Apple has very good "White Papers" (PDF) on HDV Workflow including a FAQ. Download it here : [http://images.apple.com/jp/finalcutstudio/resources/white_papers/HDV_FAQ.pdf Native HDV Editing with Final Cut Pro 5] <br />

==HDV won't play on an external monitor==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br> <br />
<br />
HDV wont play out to an external monitor via Firewire. You need a Kona or Blackmagic Card. The Digital Cinema Desktop Preview is your only bet at this point. <br />
<br />
<br />
Blackmagic Design has released a $249.00 HDMI card called the Intensity that will allow you to use your big screen television and/or video projector as a monitor by connecting to the built in HDMI-out. Find it at [http://www.decklink.com/products/intensity/ Decklink.com] <br />
<br />
<br />
To turn on Digital Cinema Desktop preview, go to View > Video Playback, and select the type of playback you want. Then select View > External > All Frames. To toggle this on and off, use apple - F12.<br />

==How does HDV work?==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Alister Robbie''' <br />
<br />
HDV as a format is known as a long GOP format. GOP standing for Group Of Pictures. To understand the significance of this, we need to understand a GOP and a bit more about compression. <br />
<br />
<br />
Let's start with intra-frame compression. This is compression inside a single frame - like a JPEG. It uses a bunch of algorithms to determine patterns and areas of similarity within the image so that it can ditch information without losing detail. From there we move to inter-frame compression where the compression algorithm starts comparing different frames within the clip to find similarities, and therefor ditch a bunch of data without losing detail. <br />
<br />
<br />
When you use inter-frame compression, it uses three kinds of frames referred to as "I" "B" and "P" frames. Think of the 'I' frames as complete frames - nothing missing. 'P' frames contain only the data that has changed since the last frame, 'B' frames looks at the frame before and the frame afterwards to see what has changed in either direction, and only saves that. 'B' frames are useful for when you are shuttling backwards through the footage. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
Now that we know what I, B & P frames are, we can look understand a GOP. A GOP is a group of I, B & P frames that form a small piece of video. For example, your HDV codec uses a "long GOP" structure which looks like "IBBPBBPBBPBBP" and it then repeats this structure again. The significance of this is that there is only one complete frame of information every 12 frames. This means that it takes up very little space, but will cause some issues which I will get into later. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now we compare that to most other formats/codecs designed for editing such as DV, DVCPRO, Digital Betacam etc. These formats use what are referred to as "I frame only" compression which means that every frame is a complete frame. This takes up a lot more space, but is better for cutting. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cut in HDV, technically, you can only make a cut on an I (complete) frame. If you cut on a non-I frame, you will break the GOP structure, and there will be a group of frames that do not have an I frame to refer to. You will momentarily lose the signal when the clip is played back. Compare this to DV, where you can happily cut wherever you want, and you can start to see how issues might arise. <br />
<br />
<br />
Given that people want to edit with HDV, Apple came up with few tricks to get around this issue. When you are cutting with HDV, Final Cut will allow you to make cuts on non-I frames. What the system does is in the background is at that cut point, it steps back to the last I frame and grabs that data, and adds it to the cut point so that all of the frames after that shot have an I frame to reference off. This happens everytime you make a cut in HDV. <br />
<br />
<br />
This means that your original IBBPBBPBBPBBP GOP structure might now look something like IBBPBIBBPIBIBIPIIBBPI. This is now outside the boundaries of what your HDV deck will handle, and so once you are finished, and output, Final Cut Pro goes through a process where it re-orders all of the frames, and smooths things out. It makes sure that everything is in order and that it looks like the proper IBBPBBPBBPBBP. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you change your sequence settings to another codec such as DVCPRO HD or 10bit Uncompressed (my favourite) it will force all of your long GOP HDV footage to become I frame only making it less processor intensive for your machine to work with. <br />
<br />

==Can't capture HDV Video.==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
If you're trying to capture HDV footage into FCP and all you get is a black screen, check if your deck or camera is set to 'i-Link Conversion'. This setting causes the deck or camera to down-convert HDV to DV automatically. If this is not what you want, turn it off. Also, make sure that your project is set up to capture HDV, not DV. <br />
<br />
<br />
More detail '''from Christina A''' <br />
<br />
With the Canon XH A1 you CANNOT change the settings that you need to change if the camera has the FireWire cable plugged into it. <br />
<br />
*1. You first need to disconnect the FireWire cable, then put your camera on VCR/Playback mode. <br />
<br />
*2. Click on the menu button and go to SIGNAL SETUP. (Since you do not have the FireWire cable plugged in, you can NOW change two important settings needed to import HD footage). <br />
<br />
*3. Under SIGNAL SETUP, scroll down to PLAYBACK STD. Click on that and make sure the HDV is set. NOT the AUTO, it most likely will not import under AUTO. Once the HDV is set, you're half-way there.<br />
<br />
*4. Next go back to SIGNAL SETUP and scroll down to HD DOWN-CONV and click on this. Make sure it is OFF. Once you set this, you're done. <br />
<br />
*5. Go back to SIGNAL SETUP and check this settings to make sure they read:<br> <br />
- PLAYBACK STD HDV <br><br />
- HD DOWN-CONV OFF <br />
<br />
*6. You can now plug in your FireWire cable and you will see after a few seconds that these settings turn "gray" and you cannot change them.<br />

==Understanding HD==<br />
<br />
'''From Jude Cotter''' <br />
<br />
HD is a huge and still growing field. For currency of information (and because it’s easier!) we recommend the excellent HD FAQ at [http://www.hdforindies.com/2005/05/hd-for-indies-frequently-asked www.hdforindies.com] <br />
<br />
<br />
More information '''from Graeme Nattress'''<br> <br />
<br />
HD currently has two frame sizes - 1920x1080 and 1280x720. However, it's much more complex than that because of two things - some tape formats sub-sample and don't record the full rated resolution, and the nature of interlace. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''HDCAM''' is nominally 1920x1080, and that's the size of image you get off the HDSDI ports, but it's stored on tape as 1440x1080, making it a subsampled format. HDCAM SR, the more expensive version of HDCAM does record the full 1920x1080 <br />
<br />
<br />
'''DVCProHD''' is 1280x1080 or 960x720 depending on version used. It subsamples further than HDCAM, but uses a lower bit rate too. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''D5''' is Panasonic's full raster 1920x1080 or 1280x720 format, but doesn't appear in any camcorder, but only as a deck for mastering to. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''HDV''' comes in 1280x720 (ie full raster 720p) or 1440x1080 subsampled 1080i, like HDCAM. <br />
<br />
<br />
Next there's the issue of interlace. 720p is always progressive, hence the p, and can range from 24 to 60 full frames per second depending on format. This makes every frame clean, and it compresses very well. <br />
<br />
<br />
Most 1080 formats are 1080i. That means they're interlaced, so store each frame of 1920x1080 (or 1440x1080) as two fields of 1920x540. However, it's not as simple as that, as before each field is made it is vertically filtered which reduces it's resolution to about 70% of what it started with in an attempt to reduce the nasties of interlace flicker (twitter). This means that the measurable resolution of 1080i is something like 1920x700 or 1440x700 or so, so effectively a lot of pixels are wasted on blurred data, and given the issues of compressing interlaced video makes the overall video harder to compress. <br />
<br />
<br />
Some 1080p formats are properly 1080p, and don't do interlace or it's vertical filtering and store the full resolution. These are mostly used for digital cinema, although it's still below what is normally considered the minium for cinema use - 2k.<br />
<br />
There is also the HD Survival Handbook by Philip Hodgetts. It is a 212 page PDF and covers everything you need to know about HD Production.<br><br />

<br />
==What's the best workflow for working with HDV?==<br />
<br />
'''From Graeme Nattress:'''<br> <br />
<br />
Although many people recommend getting out of HDV as soon as you can, what is usually best for HDV is to edit nativly. Yes - this works fine, as Apple have done a superb job on the codec to make it work right. Then, right at the end of editing, you change the timeline to uncompressed, re-render, and output to your high end HD deck. Quality is maintained as best as possible throughout the whole process, and you don't need a massive raid while editing, only at the end. <br />
<br />
<br />
Dubbing to HDCAM or DVCProHD might simplify workflows for some people, but is detrimental to image quality (and resolution if you dub to DVCProHD) - dubbing to D5 or HDCAM SR might be fine for quality as they're very lightly compressed, but the others are not. HDV even stores colour with a better sampling than HDCAM! <br />
<br />
<br />

Apple has very good "White Papers" (PDF) on HDV Workflow including a FAQ. Download it here : [http://images.apple.com/jp/finalcutstudio/resources/white_papers/HDV_FAQ.pdf Native HDV Editing with Final Cut Pro 5] <br />

==HDV won't play on an external monitor==<br />
<br />
'''From Michael Horton'''<br> <br />
<br />
HDV wont play out to an external monitor via Firewire. You need a Kona or Blackmagic Card. The Digital Cinema Desktop Preview is your only bet at this point. <br />
<br />
<br />
Blackmagic Design has released a $249.00 HDMI card called the Intensity that will allow you to use your big screen television and/or video projector as a monitor by connecting to the built in HDMI-out. Find it at [http://www.decklink.com/products/intensity/ Decklink.com] <br />
<br />
<br />
To turn on Digital Cinema Desktop preview, go to View > Video Playback, and select the type of playback you want. Then select View > External > All Frames. To toggle this on and off, use apple - F12.<br />

==Upconverting DV to DVCPRO HD with Compressor==<br />

==How does HDV work?==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''From Alister Robbie''' <br />
<br />
HDV as a format is known as a long GOP format. GOP standing for Group Of Pictures. To understand the significance of this, we need to understand a GOP and a bit more about compression. <br />
<br />
<br />
Let's start with intra-frame compression. This is compression inside a single frame - like a JPEG. It uses a bunch of algorithms to determine patterns and areas of similarity within the image so that it can ditch information without losing detail. From there we move to inter-frame compression where the compression algorithm starts comparing different frames within the clip to find similarities, and therefor ditch a bunch of data without losing detail. <br />
<br />
<br />
When you use inter-frame compression, it uses three kinds of frames referred to as "I" "B" and "P" frames. Think of the 'I' frames as complete frames - nothing missing. 'P' frames contain only the data that has changed since the last frame, 'B' frames looks at the frame before and the frame afterwards to see what has changed in either direction, and only saves that. 'B' frames are useful for when you are shuttling backwards through the footage. <br><br />
<br />
<br />
Now that we know what I, B & P frames are, we can look understand a GOP. A GOP is a group of I, B & P frames that form a small piece of video. For example, your HDV codec uses a "long GOP" structure which looks like "IBBPBBPBBPBBP" and it then repeats this structure again. The significance of this is that there is only one complete frame of information every 12 frames. This means that it takes up very little space, but will cause some issues which I will get into later. <br />
<br />
<br />
Now we compare that to most other formats/codecs designed for editing such as DV, DVCPRO, Digital Betacam etc. These formats use what are referred to as "I frame only" compression which means that every frame is a complete frame. This takes up a lot more space, but is better for cutting. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cut in HDV, technically, you can only make a cut on an I (complete) frame. If you cut on a non-I frame, you will break the GOP structure, and there will be a group of frames that do not have an I frame to refer to. You will momentarily lose the signal when the clip is played back. Compare this to DV, where you can happily cut wherever you want, and you can start to see how issues might arise. <br />
<br />
<br />
Given that people want to edit with HDV, Apple came up with few tricks to get around this issue. When you are cutting with HDV, Final Cut will allow you to make cuts on non-I frames. What the system does is in the background is at that cut point, it steps back to the last I frame and grabs that data, and adds it to the cut point so that all of the frames after that shot have an I frame to reference off. This happens everytime you make a cut in HDV. <br />
<br />
<br />
This means that your original IBBPBBPBBPBBP GOP structure might now look something like IBBPBIBBPIBIBIPIIBBPI. This is now outside the boundaries of what your HDV deck will handle, and so once you are finished, and output, Final Cut Pro goes through a process where it re-orders all of the frames, and smooths things out. It makes sure that everything is in order and that it looks like the proper IBBPBBPBBPBBP. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you change your sequence settings to another codec such as DVCPRO HD or 10bit Uncompressed (my favourite) it will force all of your long GOP HDV footage to become I frame only making it less processor intensive for your machine to work with. <br />

==4:3 (NTSC) Title/Action safe Template in a 16:9 frame for both 720 & 1080 formats==<br />
<br />
'''From Joey "grafixjoe" Morelli''' <br />
<br />
These are HD Square pixel frames with 4:3 (NTSC) title / action safe guides on them. The first one is 1280 x 720 and the second is 1920 x 1080. Drag them right out of this window onto your desktop, import it into your FCP Project, lay it in your timeline over all clips & add the "Screen" Composite Mode to get rid of the black leaving the guides only. <br />
