Does this work with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4.? Does it show the video timeline directly from an rca monitor?Can it digitize analog video into final cut?

I don't use Final Cut 5, I use 7. It works with 7. Not sure about 5. Not sure what you mean by an RCA monitor... It can digitize analog video. There are inputs for component and composite, both NTSC and HD, plus the HDMI port for digital. The only thing it's missing is a serial port, but Black Magic has that on a different version if needed.

Sorry but I don't know the answers, I could not get the software to install so had to return the unit.

Sorry that I cannot answer your question as I've yet to use it for anything else but transferring old video tapes to digital.

Not sure if being on an older G5 Mac is an issue or not. It could be. I have an Itel Mac with a newer version of Final Cut. But maybe this will still help. I had to download a free software program called Mpeg Streamclip. It converts the files into a format that works in Final Cut. At least it works for my Final Cut Studio 2 on an Intel Mac. It is one extra step, but it works out just fine. I have edited footage from this camera many times that way. Best of luck.

No, this will not work with analog video(VHS) out. Only rca audio, digital audio and component video. I am sorry if my previous misled anyone.

Thanks B. Wickens!I've continued my research and it turns out the problem is not the brand of the camera but the AVCHD codec itself. Most video editing applications don't support it yet. So indeed you can copy the files to your hard drive in a Mac but you need a program that can read them.Turns out the latest Final Cut Pro does indeed support AVCHD and also the iMovie '08 (not '06).My favorite recoding application is VisualHub but I haven't been able to determine yet if it will read AVCHD and convert it to something else.

i use Final Cut Express on my Mac. for the PC, I've used Pinnacle Studio. it's not nearly as good, but it'll get the job done.

I just got the item about a month ago. I haven't used it much yet, but some, and so far it has been a good product with no problems. I have recorded to DVR from various sources, and dubbed from VHS, and so far all good. As per your question, it has the following outputs: - analog audio - analog video - component video - s-video - coaxial digital audio - HDMI The analog outputs are RCA jacks, the others as you would expect. The user manual quotes, "HDMI outputs the video / audio signals without converting to analog signals. No audio connection is required." Having HDMI output means you can connect to many digital devices, but depending on whether the graphics card on your PC supports video capture, you will probably need a separate video capture card.

The 4 video input that it has are RCA composite for analog cameras. It has true 640x480 VGA output with max of 704x576. Frame rate of 25 fps. The company at one time provided the info to program it. It has potential, but the original programming has bugs. There is a group that has updates that had improved it.

There is a BIG difference between "Final Cut Express" and "Final Cut Pro". Final Cut Express is a discontinued software from Apple and yes, you do need it to run this upgrade. Final Cut Pro would not work with this upgrade, nor would you need it.

I also have the pro 4x, I have never had the issue you seem to have. other than the 20 overlay tracks and the 3rd party add on's with the ultimate I can't see any difference. the main reason I upgraded was for these features as well as the price. I got it on sale at amazon and used rewards points on my credit card so it only cost me about $15. When I do a project I always seem to have alot of stills as well as video, for that reason I make several 3 or 4 minute clips saving them in mp4 format, then I stitch them together. That way if I'm well into the project & decide I want to make a change near the start It's no big deal, just change the one clip. Dave

I have a JVC mg555, and I just changed a vid file ext to .mpg.WMM imports it, but is not reading the video part only audio. Weird. I am still working on it.

Hi - video importing doesn't work for me. I'm using Win 7 pro....not home premium. I'm using the latest version of PMB (5.2), it simply does not recognize the camera connection at all. I've tried connecting it to 2 computers and used different USB ports. I'm out of ideas.

Capture??? I don't understand the term in relation to dubbing video tapes which is what this unit is designed to do. It removes the "MacroVision" copy guard integrated into prerecorded tapes. For this, it works fine.It has no ability to make tapes look better, remove tape defects, brighten, detail, sharpen, etc. But, it should not distort the analog video signal it will pass through from input to output.

Are you saying that it's a problem to import the video files into the Mac? I'm using Leopard and Final Cut Express 4 and want to make sure that the files created by the FS100 can be edited by FCE4.

Discount Mac Depot has OS X 10.8 and it does have final cut pro preloaded on the computer. Thanks

Yes it does. I have used its predecessor for a long time. No problem inputting to IMOVIE or Final Cut Pro for the Apple desktops or laptops.

I am currently running 10.10.2 on this system. I do not use Final Cut Pro 10, but I certainly believe you will have no problem.
