Hi Aaron,

I’m not sure about your iMac, which should run FCS3 very well, but I loaded FCP 7, Soundtrack Pro and DVDSP from FSC3 on a much less capable Macbook using one of the methods found here:

Just a note – by “change .mp4 to .flv” I mean that you only change the extension name, not encode the file again. All flash needs to see is the extension .flv to know to play the file.

Hi,

I’ve used this plugin for TV transition effects:

Very easy to use from within FCP. Used at the beginning and end here:

Up front – I’m no flash expert – but I use h.264 codec files with the mp4 extension created by compressor in conjunction with an flvplayer.swf file. I just change the .mp4 to .flv. The flash files on my preview page are all put together this way. I don’t believe .mov extensions can be changed to flv – only if the codec is supported by the flash specs. Others will know more specifics.

Hi Shane.

” Did you remove pulldown on that footage to get it to 23.98, or did you leave it as 29.97?”

I think you may be mistaking Canon’s 24f from cameras like the XHA1 with the “24PF” from the HV20 and 30 which require a reverse telecine through Compressor. 24f is 23.98. Fortunately the HV40 shoots 24f now too.

Hi Daniel,

All the current MacBook Pros have discreet graphics cards and are fully capable of running FCS.

Hi Steve,

I’ve downloaded all the trials for those and many others but still have seen what I’m hoping is out there. I would have run across it by now I think. The reason that I think its possible to combine effects into a convenient transition is because of plugins like this, which seems to combine so many different attributes into a very easy-to-apply package:

Right now I’m combining three different elements to come up with a (not quite yet but close) organically convincing in-camera film cut. I have artbeats film effects as a screen composite above an additive dissolve with keyframed registration adjustments. It works, but its time consuming compared to what I think is possible by someone much smarter than I…

Hi Rob,

Unfortunately its a common problem with this model. My MBP, with the same graphics card, started getting the same screen artifacts – a few at first and they gradually got larger and occurred more often. I had Applecare on it and they replaced the motherboard (along with the entire screen and superdrive without me even mentioning anything was wrong with them. Googling ‘macbook pro screen artifacts’ comes up with a lot of instance of this problem. For me it occurred more when the cpu was under a lot of load and the fans started going.

Is it possible that you rendered the timeline? When rendered, a multiclip will only show the selected angle.
