Final Cut Express | Forum profile

I've created an image in Photoshop and imported it into Final Cut Express, but whenever I bring it into the timeline it loses a ton of quality. I assumed it was a render problem, but that also doesn't seem to work. Any Suggestions?

Not sure what to do here. Have it hooked up with the fire wire and just trying to do a basic capture, but apparently it's not recognizing the camera. I just keep getting the "unable to initialize the video deck" message. Any suggestion? Thanks.

My guess is an error in FCE install left you with missing components. Can't believe Apple told you to talk to Canon, that's lame. They might as well have sent you to your Firewire cable manufacturer I would reinstall FCE and check for updates, also update Quicktime.

On FCE canvas and QT, I do see a bit of jagged lines as I scroll but on DVD and TV,...

Yup , I'm a dummy, I found it, duh on my part, thanks

Hi, I keep getting dropped frames when capturing from a canon camera, i know the drive is unlikely to be fragmented as it is a brand new Imac. has any one got any ideas as to why this keeps happening? I've tried different cameras and fire wire cables, but still the same problem.
