Edit with FCE 3.5 HD. When viewed on full screen, or when written to DVD using iDVD, video is jittery, very pixellated.</p> <p>Tried filming in HD. Captured in FCE 3.5 HD with 1080i60 codec. Same problem. Video is very jittery and pixellated. Not much difference in quality between HD and DV. Both are poor quality video.</p> <p>I've read lots of forums that say HV30 has great video quality. I haven't experienced this when editing. What a I overlooking or should do differently.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/zoom-h2-compatibility-with-fce#post-57808 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 06:41:45 +0000 WVUToad 57808@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Just curious if the <a href="http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/h2/">Zoom H2</a> compatible with FCE 4.  Will I be able to record audio on the H2 and then add / edit it in a video project?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/external-drives-for-imac-24#post-40669 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 11:33:03 +0000 peachydingo 40669@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>My office bought an iMac 24" with FCE. And it has USB 2.0, FW400/FW800 ports, and a single internal hard drive.</p> <p>Every single training book or video tells you to run your files off a separate hard drive, so I want to add an external drive. I'm looking at LaCie, G-Raid, and OWC externals. If any of you have any comments about these drives, please post your opinions. Thanks!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/imac-super-slow-rendering-why#post-52901 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:30:07 +0000 bnixon 52901@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey all,</p> <p>I have a white 24" iMac (first gen Intel chips) and am running Final Cut Express to do some painting lesson videos. These are pretty basic stuff with minimal effects. They are rendering super slow. A 20 minute video took 24 hours to export using the standard Vimeo HD quicktime settings.</p> <p>My machine has the max amount of ram 4 gigs with a internal 250 GB drive. I have several external Lacie drives hanging off of it for storage and backup. One 1TB on the FW800 port One 1TB on the FW400 Port and a 500GB off of the usb port. I have my source video files on the FW800 drive and the FCE project on the FW400 drive with all apps and os on the internal drive. All of the video is shot in full 1920X1080 HD from a Canon HF100 AVCHD</p> <p>I don't know where the bottle neck is...Bandwidth to the hard drives, lack of memory, or just processor speed. I would like to get this machine to perform reasonable so I don't have to purchase a new one.</p> <p>I am sure there is a way to improve the horrible speed but I am ignorant of how to setup this machine for higher performance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>thanks for your time,</p> <p>Brandon</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-compression-software#post-51129 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 09:54:46 +0000 henrybenj 51129@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a movie shot in HD 1 hr and 18min...1.18gb and the client needs it compressed for their website. I used FCE and export to quicktime using low quality internet broadband. Tried the same in iMovie 9 as the client wants files under 10mb<br /> Any better compression ideas?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/final-cut-express-capture-question#post-41893 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 15:13:26 +0000 chikers 41893@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Is there a way in FCE to just list the in/out time codes and let it capture all of them at the same time?</p> <p>I have been marking one, then it captures. Then I mark the next one and then it captures...etc. I usually have a shot list with the time codes listed, I just want to type them in there and then come back when it has all been done.</p> <p>I hope that makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/final-cut-express-35-vs-4#post-40760 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:25:45 +0000 jdbaum42 40760@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'm planning to purchase FCX for my office. We do only a very little video for our retail website, but iMovie just isn't cutting it. I've seen some people complaining that 4 cut Soundtrack and LiveType. Is is worth getting 4, or should I try to find a used copy of 3.5?</p> <p>I have some experience with FCP, so I'm not a total n00b, but just unfamiliar with the Express product. </p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/fce-or-fcp-to-post-production-to-broadcast#post-38250 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 16:42:19 +0000 khunjimk 38250@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi. I am currently working on a travel documentary. I am editing in FCE . Should I upgrade to FCP or stay with FCE  before approaching a professional post production person/facility for preparation for output to broadcast? TY for your reply.</p>
