Final Cut Express 4 Tutorial #1

[MrBAZAN88]

Was wondering if someone can help me with a quick question?

When I export my FCE project into quicktime the slo-mo and fast-mo parts are

messed up. By "messed up" I mean they have a lot of lines and stuff. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

[DimmuBehemothKickass]

Final Cut Express! it is much easiar and really good. final cut pro x is very confusing

[tsm767]

[kevinnguyen97]

And you're right. I used youtube to search instead of google, but both search engines would of lead me here since google and youtube are connected.

@eirikonepointfifty If you use a HD PVR, you need to get EyeTV to capture and then import it into Final cut :)

[PhilCollins93]

@westbabylonbangin yoe need to make a new sequence

[DoWhatsFunProduction]

do you have to have a mac to use this editing system

[Hyminym]

yeah you do

[08breezy08]

can i buy it from u lol at a good price then lol

[GomuGomunoSchmingo]

no  .

[blingsters]

@GomuGomunoSchmingo no offense... but FCE is a lesened downed version of the real thing... Its the state of the art video producing program... hollywood big shots use Final Cut Pro.... It will take time to learn something this advanced...

[GomuGomunoSchmingo]

lol i alredy figured it out

[bregowine]

@blingsters Obviously, nobody said that FCE is for "hollywood big shots", and the program doesn't pretend to be that. It's a very good editing option for amateurs or "prosumers" who don't want an option like IMovie, or can't afford a FCP suite.

[CDFfilms]

c'mon dud youll get used to it, you're just to impatient. it is very good though, and after a while, you'll have found everything

[GomuGomunoSchmingo]

like i said i alredy figured it out

[CDFfilms]

thats not the point, the point is that when you posted the comment, that was your attitude

[roxy888999]

how do you make a twin on final cut express?

[almondtealeaf2]

How does Final Cut Express compare with After Effects? I've heard After Effects has more compositing capabilities and I wanted to know if Final Cut Express has some features that are comparable with After Effects.

[ossclub]

Final Cut Express is no equal to After Effects, not really, it is just a simple editing program for young video editors. If your looking for an alternative in the Final Cut Suite try Motion 3 which is in Final Cut Studio

[almondtealeaf2]

Thank you for telling me. I have heard of this plug-in for Final Cut Studio,After Effects,and final cut express called FxFactory.

Does anyone else use or even heard of FxFactory.

[ossclub]

I do have used FxFactory

[12OC4EVER798]

YOO HOW DID U GET THE SCREEN THAT BIG WITH FINAL CUt

[spadastunter]

YOU DONT NEED TO YELL

[jazzieyes]

This is jazzieyes your video tutorial was helpful

[ComedyCluster]

How do you capture with iSight?

[LoLBlTCH]

go to PhotoBooth app, [should come with ur mac] and press the record button

[ComedyCluster]

I meant how to capture with iSight IN final cut, but I now don't have the need for isight.

[LoLBlTCH]

you can record it, then import it into Final Cut...

[ComedyCluster]

Once again, I don't have the need for iSight anymore...I got a camera

[phunnyplace]

but when i do that it gives a strike through it and says media offline

[MedievalHollywood]

You will have to record in Photo Booth, then find that file in the finder and drag it into Final Cut Express

[melissadawnonline]

I've finally figured out the settings for my camera and FCE combination- I was having a problem with my A/V sync but now everything looks great but my video stops at 2:45 and it is a 3:07 minute clip? Can you help?

[animeFreaK19729]

um..... does it still work if you mport a video you already have and edit it o.o?

[xxChubalud1xx]

I imported some footage from school and then i put it on a flash drive, then i put it on my computer, then i tried to put it on my final cut express 4, but it said file unknown. can someone help me?

[tyyortland]

is ramped slomo included with FCE 4

[skateconnor]

nope

[matthewreinhardt]

Is it possible to put a pre recorded dvd eg: terminator 2 into final cut express 4 and make a modern movie trailer using the film? I want to make modern trailers from older movies like back to the future/predator etc?

[snowmaster1]

Music Track Beeping and Video footage saying ''Unrendered''??? HELP!

[jamesgarvey12345]

same HELP!

[harhawk]

Same here!

[Nrage75]

just select it go up to sequence and go to render

[ZPivotA]

Better, just press Cmd - R and it'll render all. Keep doing that each time you put a new audio or video in the timeline or something

[planetyes]

What if i'm just using isight?... i can't find it in the settings?

[ModGyo]

Just use iMovie and then send it from there.

[planetyes]

OK, man. cheers

[uniqueqt2]

@ModGyo you're right but that is such a pain

[julianBoj]

Omg. My problem is that i cant go into Capture. Whats Wrong

[sixdaysfool]

Cool thanks!!!

[SassyHippoProduction]

Cool.
