Nope. They are specifically designed to work with each application. SOME AE plugins work in FCP, but not many. This isn’t one of them.

Is there any way for you to watch the footage from the timeline on a TV? You should, as that will show you what it will really look like.
#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane’s Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows VideoTechinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can’t view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

I thought you said you had Automatic Duck and needed to know what settings to use? In that case, you need to post on the Duck forum and let Wes help you.
FCP does not import OMFs. And as far as I know, you use Automatic Duck to convert the timeline information ONLY. You’ll need to recapture the video and audio in FCP, as the formats are completely different, and any conversion will cause a loss of quality.

The scopes are a mess. They sample random areas, and leave out the information OUTSIDE the Picture Safe entirely…
https://www.larryjordan.biz/articles/lj_scopes_warn.html
And if you are capturing via firewire, you can’t manipulate the brightness, contrast or anything…it comes in as a straight file.
If you are doing any serious broadcst work, I’d recomment getting an external set of scopes.

[Yogifilm] “So you think Ill have to wait for the firmware upgrade from panasonic?
I got the P2 driver for PCMCIA from Panasonic.”That is the same thing…driver, firmware update…same thing.
Well, my arguement is that if the company you are working at is using an editing platform, you need to use that platform. If you try to use a different one, and things don’t work out, then you are hosed and in hot water. That happened once at a company I worked at, and now they are VERY VERY anti-FCP, because they had a big disaster trying to get fcp 4.0 to online on an Avid, and of course NONE of the plugins transferred.
Huge mess.SO stick with what they got, until they change edit systems.

#25 HDV external Monitor Viewing
Shane’s Stock Answer #25 – HDV external Monitor Viewing
To view HDV on an external monitor you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink or AJA offer. They will both play out HDV in real time. The catch is that you cannot view this on a regular TV or NTSC monitor. Since this is HD, an HD monitor will be needed.
HDV cannot be played out of FCP via Firewire because it’s Long GOP structure is too taxing on your processors to spare the system resources needed to drive an external monitor.

[Yogifilm] “I have several problems, when I import via the PCMCIA on my G4 I am able to import into fcp 5,0 but in a wrong ? resolution? “
How are you doing this? As far as I understand, Mac support for the P2 card working with PCMCIA won’t happen until the camera is released, and that it will come as a firmware update from Panasonic. Then it is as simple as pluging it in an dusing FCP to import and convert it to DVCPRO HD MOVs.
I have done this.
