No, neither of those. Try doing a software update. That’s a very old version of FCP with a fairly new version of the OS and QuickTime. There may be a problem there.

They can be in a lot of different places. It depends on where the application might install them, usually somewhere in Library>Audio or Library>Application Support (not the home library). Do you have apps like ProTools or other audio apps?

This is usually caused by third party AU plugins. Do you have anything like this? You have to remove them to run the application.

From what I’ve read it seems this is a standard AVCHD camera with a big hard drive, which is a pain to work with, but you should be able to ingest directly in FCP using the log and transfer function. Have you read about using that in the manual?

Why don’t you just say what camera you’re talking about? What .mts converter are you talking about? Is this an AVCHD camera? Use the log and transfer function in FCP7 and transcode to ProRes or ProRes LT. Streamclip can’t convert .mts files. MPEG-2 is a muxed delivery codec and should not be used in FCP.

You can’t make MPEG-2 using QT export.

Depends on the broadcasters. Fox and ABC are 720p while CBS and NBC are 1080i.

What are the exact specs of the media you shot? You have to use settings that match that.

Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything’s connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you’re using in Final Cut, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime you are using.

Your camera doesn’t shoot 24fps. It shoots 24 with pulldown added recorded at 29.97.

All the best,

Tom
