Re: I'm loving the "ecosystem" that's growing around FCP X!

Chip,

Didn't know if you are aware of it, but ducking audio in X itself is really simple - particularly if it's in it's typical form as a standalone connected clip. (It still quite doable with...

Re: is lens metadata possible?

The thing is that extended metadata like lens settings often flows from the camera with the POTENTIAL to be read downstream in an NLE like X, but I see folks all the time with workflows that cut it...

Re: FInally switched to FCPX, Which Plug-Ins are Essential?

Hey my friend, welcome to the party!

The most important thing you can do is to learn X systematically.

DO NOT jump into a storyline and just start editing. You'll skip over the stuff that can...

Re: iZotope - FCPX

Steven,

When you're working in X, it's useful to think about what I call Metadata Flow. Basically, when you Import stuff into X, it comes in with whatever metadata the camera applies it. (At...

Re: Specialized conference software similar to Red Giant's Presto?

Sorry I've been caught up in work and haven't been back for a couple of weeks. The keyboard command I think you're looking for may be Extend Edit. Open the commands tab and search for its...

Re: My FCP X will not import XAVC-Intra

Sounds like something is screwy for sure. Have you updated to the latest OS and program versions? Are you OK for processor speed and memory? Sometimes the engineers make calls to functions not in...

Re: Specialized conference software similar to Red Giant's Presto?

Josh, It's remarkably easy and I'm surprised that more people don't use it. It's fundamentally just a very robust keystroke recorder. You figure out the actions you want the script to perform. Hit...

Re: My FCP X will not import XAVC-Intra

It's not unusual for new camera types to see a lag before the main NLEs get parsers for their formats.

You may need to transcode externally until Sony gets the translators done for X. X has been...

Re: Specialized conference software similar to Red Giant's Presto?

Seems like most of your necessary workflow should be pretty easy to do with existing tools averrable in X.

Record the speaker video. Set up a squeezed presenter box stage left.

Re: Software Needed to Make Menus in FCPX

Sorry Ray, the overall answer is no.

X allows you to author very basic DVDs directly out of the program with a few options. You can have a white on black or black on white menu. You can import a...

Re: Question about opening a back up project

Gary,

X was fundamentally changed in the transition to FCP X 10.0x to FCP X 10.1x. The most radical change was the introduction of Libraries. It's now a required overall bucket inside of which all...

Re: FCP X 10.1.4 is released.

Hi Phil,

Be careful. Once X "clicks" for you - you'll never go back.

The key is to take the journey like you're learning a completely new language. Do not keep listening for the words that are...

Re: Question about opening a back up project

Gary, can you describe it a bit more?

Were these older files from prior to FXP X 10.1?

Or did you save out Projects from within a Library, but then delete the parent Library?

Re: sketching on FCPX?

Largely NO, but to an extent, yes. Depends on the sophistication and "real time" abilities you need.

Anything you can create as a character can be put into a storyline using the title generator....

Re: Jumbo Tron Settings?

Open the INFO Tab - then create a new Project and in the INFO tab, set the Project Properites size to whatever you want.

That's about it.

Re: Exporting to SxS card in FCP X

The deal is that for any video file you wish to play back - there has to have SOMETHING installed to enable the playback. There is no "universal auto-play" format.

Re: Exporting to SxS card in FCP X

The issue is card format and file format.

Any form of digital storage card is just a bucket for bits.

It's the arrangement of those bits - AND the software available on the computer...
