SJK > Helloooo, Is anyone using this? No comment's for three, 3! years? Not surprising to me more FCP users aren't lurking around here. > It makes me wonder if I am missing out on some other more hip site for FCP users. Not sure what you mean. It's not hard finding FCP resources if that's what you're interested in. (Version 7.0) | |

JOHNNYMO999 An excellent program, really top notch. A bit of a learning curve, but you can do anything with it. It's paying my rent. (Version 5.0.4) | |

ANONYMOUS Awesome editing program with (some) real time effects. Far better than Premiere and even AVID. A big drawback, stability is not so good, FCP crashes sometimes. Autosave can save your project... (Version 4.5) | |

MIKE Ive been using FCP3 for 2 years, over 20 Full length movies & full feature DVD's (DVDSP 1.5) & its been ROCK SOLID! I have several nominations and One "BEST DVD OF THE YEAR" award - AVN Awards... so, I know what I'm doing & I have to be productive with tight deadlines... 'nuff said on that. Heres the deal I found with FCP4/HD... Upgraded to FCP4/HD on a second G4 *(Not primary machine) then attempted to "re-do" and entire project from capture to Final DVD using FCP4/HD to see if there would be any problems. Well... first off, I cant capture anything at length in FCP4... all tapes capture perfect in 3, out of 18 tapes, I could capture ONE in its entirety, the rest would not go... after an entire day, I moved on. NEXT UP...No Rendering previews like FCP3... RT... real time? thats nice for 1-2 layers of video with basic transitions & FX, but try 6 video layers & 5 stereo audio tracks... there is NO real time anything... you must render... & there is NO DRAFT render, so you have to WAIT!!! even on a G5... a little faster, but why take away the draft render mode? thats just LAME! NEXT up... export as a Final Cut PRo Movie is gone, QT movie is not the same... what gives.. BIG problem for me as I do a "rough" edit first, then export Video & Audio seperate, Clean the audio up, then import back into FCP for "final" edit... major problem there. NEXT UP... cant view timeline on an external TV (Via Sony DV deck)... OK, so maybe I dont have it set up right, BUT, I can capture from the deck (sort of!)... FCP4 see's the deck, but no video... Tried all setting variations... no go. FCP3 shows video via firewire external all the time, no special set up required... another BIG problem. NEXT UP... track selection... cant figure out all the little "bullets" to the far left that make "pairs" & stuff... is a track selected or not for copy or paste? FCP3 was very cleqar & simple. So, why so many drastic functionality changes??? Why not just ADD the killer NEW features to a SOLID FCP3 base???? that would have been super cool! Now FCP4 is all F***ed up! STAY WITH FCP3!!! Its not worth the hassle!!! (Version 4.5) | |

SOPHIE I have had a progressively tougher time capturing video on Final Cut HD. My system is unable to locate the timecode on my deck. I don't have this problem at all on FCp 3. (Version 4.5) | |

LIBERATED Those of you angry that you can't convert the songs you buy from the iTunes music store to mp3 to save disk space or use them in your home FinalCut movies should get Hear Your Music Anywhere 0.6. This free app converts the m4p songs that you buy to m4a format. With this app the digital hub lives on !! (Version 4.5) | |

DANTE Very bad! I always heard never upgrade in the middle of projects so I waited until I was finished. I upgraded and now when I export to quick time for DVD's I'm missing whole audio tracks. I'm pretty sure it's FCP HD because I had exported the project daily and burned dvd's as I was working on it just to see my progress. I don't know why apple would release this upgrade with such a huge bug in it! (Version 4.5) | |

ANONYMOUS I experienced a similar problem. I copied all my elements to a new sequence and did a mix down on the audio. I then wrote a final cut file on my desktop. This resolved the sound issue. (Version 4.5) | |

ANONYMOUS Wish I NEVER upgraded to 4.5HD I cannnot capture footage and I can't see the video in the capture preview window. If it starts to capture it quits because it is dropping frames or else the whole program just quits on me. Don't upgrade until the problems are fixed or you will end up like me with projects half finished! (Version 4.5) | |

DUDLEY SARGEANT I have been running 4.5 HD on a G5 with 10.3 it has been relatively trouble free and has only lost the viewer / canvas a few times ( they appear 'greyed out' ) but it has sorted out my playback issues with green screen and external video . Has anybody tried it on a G4 with any sucess ? i am thinking of upgrading my other machine . (Version 4.5) | |

ANONYMOUS I've had lots of trouble. It won't render --- every time I try to render it works for a minute and then I get the spinning beach ball until I force quit. Also, it won't hide, the mac (G4 dual 500) has trouble switching between it and other applications, and it's just generally slow and sluggish. My work has screeched to a halt. (Version 4.5) | |

SAM I'm having problems with FCP4.1 The programm is not friendly at all. Books are not solution. Making a chroma key is a pain. The other issue is when you close the windows. like time-line window etcetc, you cannot reopen it.You have to restart it. Play back audio in time-line does not work either. Need to be rendered. It has bugs a lot. At least give me solutions and leave my posting displayed. It should be considered to rename certain things like "Viewer" or Canvas"and bla bla bla. why not to name them "preview" and Outgoing video. A real video tape field language. This program (Version 4.1.1) | |

MARCUS CARTER I am working on a dual 1.42 Gig G4. I started with ver. 4.0, and had a LOT of hiccups, especially print to tape. I then updated to 4.1 and voila! Problem solved! I am very happy. I still get the occasional crash, but having saved every 10 mins, it's no bother, and FCP starts up so quickly again... Satisfied customer! (Version 4.1.1) | |

PEDRO GOMES DA SILVA Bad Apple! Bad!! I have FCP version 3 and i was thinking on updating to FCP 4 so i decided to check with some persons that already bought it. guess what?? FCP 4.0 can import from a mini-dv tape with multiple timecode breaks just fine. It has an option of creating new clips after the break. But somehow this update (4.0.2) makes this option stop working!!! So know I'll wait to see if (when) Apple corrects this bug and only then i 'll decide if it's a good idea to update or not. (Version 4.0.2) | |

FRANKKO Con tiki, have you moved the apps from their default location? I did (I put all the "loose" apps into a folder called "Final Cut Pro 4"), and Software Update wouldn't show that I needed the update. When I took all the individual apps out of the folder and put them back into their default location (/Applications for most of them, /Applications/Utilities for a couple), Software Update recognized I needed the update. (Version 4.0.2) | |

SMARTYPANTS! Perhaps if you both took a further look at Anonymous' comment, you would see when it was posted and what the version of FCP was at the time of the comment. If you want to poke fun at people's mistakes you might first want to ensure that you aren't the one who's mistaken. (Version 4.0.1) | |

FRANK This FCP HD update really sucks, I have the same problem with serial numbers after updating. I bought FCP 4.1 and have used it for several months on a G5 dual 2G and was perfectly happy. After installing the HD update, I open the app, a dialogue pops up asking for the SN and it will not acccept it.I uninstalled FCP HD and reinstalled FCP 4 from the original disc and now FCP 4 won't accept the serial number. This is a disc I bought from apple store, registered, everything. And yeah I'm sure it's the correct Serial number. This doesn't seem to be an isolated case, from what I've read the last couple days. | |
