Are microsoft movie maker files compatible with final cut pro files?

I would like to know if microsoft movie maker files are compatible with Final Cut Pro?
Thanks,
elemir

depends on how you're outputting. .wmv I don't think so.That's pretty much a dead end format.  mp4 might be, but i'm not sure if movie maker outputs them. .avi might be, depends on the codec used.
Avoid .wmv, apple products don't play well with that format (never have) and aim for some other output type. Then on your mac, if you don't already have it, if you don't already have it, get the free converter mpegstreamclip and see if it can convert your movie maker output into something final cut will input. DV files are good, as are .mov files.

  • I have a Benq M22 HD cam. Is it compatible with Final Cut pro 7?

    I have a Benq M22 HD cam. Is it compatible with Final Cut pro 7?

    Hi Nick, thanks for your help, Im rather new at editing and FCP. I did everything as it said to do in the MPEG Streamclip download tutorial, but when it finished, I tried to open the .mov files and it was just sound but no picture, just black.
    Now, another thing, the .mov converted files where saved into mi SD card after the program was done (is that ok, or should they have been saved somewhere else too?)  then i tried to put them into my FCP by using the Log and Transfer and when I selected that it gave me this message: "100MEDIA" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    Help please!! I know that these problems are probably from my lack of knowledge on the program and the whole thing.. but im working on it!!
    Thanks!!

  • Is Mt. Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 7?

    I am currently running Lion (10.7.5) on a 27" iMac 3.4 Ghz.
    Is Mt. Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 7 and FCS 3? Will these programs still run or will they be not supported by the new OS as has been the case with past apps when a new OS is introduced?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    I have a 2gig HD for backing up my system HD . The backup HD is partitioned into 20 - 1 gig partitions. I use the Carbon Copy Cloner app to make a clone copy of the system HD. Never had a problem. If I need to I can boot from one of the clone partition or copy file from.
    (Just make sure your FPC media and video files are on a external HD (firewire for example) other than a USB 2 HD. FCP does't work properly with USB 2 drives.)

  • ATY radeon x1900 not compatible with Final Cut Pro X ???

    It looks like my ATY radeon x1900 Graphics card is not compatible with Final Cut Pro X and the new motion and compressor?
    I have a Macpro 2 x 3Ghz quad core Intel Xeon with 16gb RAM
    Any suggestion to which card I should Purchase?

    There are several threads here and abroad that mention the installer will notice and approve the ATI 5770 in older mac pros.
    I just now bought a 5770 from Apple's online store for my 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 so I'd have the compatibility if I ever decided to upgrade -- assuming at some point they'll run out of stock and not make any more.
    Keep in mind the 5770 has 1 dual link DVI and 2 mini display ports so you might need to pick up necessary adapters depending on your monitors.
    Hopefully FCPX will be usable in the near future and an upgrade will be pragmatic.
    (I sure hope they don't pull this stunt with the next Logic upgrade.)
    I may have a 1900XT for sale soon.

  • Is the Canon Legria HF M56 compatible with Final Cut Pro X

    I am new to Mac and new to Final Cut Pro X. I am looking to buy a new HD Video Camcorder to use with my new computer/software and wondered whether or not the Canon Legria HF M56 is compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
    If it is, do you have to import the footage directly from the Camcorder, or can you first save the files to the Mac and import them that way?
    I currently use a Sony HandyCam HDR-SR10 which produces AVCHD .mts files. I have these saved on my Mac after transferring them over from my PC but Final Cut Pro X cannot import them. Very frustrating for a professional app to be unable to import these files. Even Cyberlink Power Director can use these files.
    Thanks for your help

    It's not on the tested list but it may well work.

    Why don't you download the trial and try it?

  • Is my 2007 MacBook compatible with Final Cut Pro X?

    Is my 2007 MacBook compatible with Final Cut Pro X?

    Probably not the specs call for at least 256mb of VRAM. Depending on the model your MacBook is either 144mb or 64mb of VRAM

  • Where can I download Christmas generators / title cards compatible with Final Cut Pro X?

    I'm looking for title cards with holiday themes, snow, Christams trees, ornaments and the like. Where can I find these? A quick search online I found site that said they weren't compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
    I went to rippletraining.com and after downloading got this error message...and yet I am unable to find any applications in the App store that meet my needs.

    you haven't tried!
    you managed to handle FCPX, a highly professional edit-tool.
    What I suggested, is just 'basics':
    compose a few elements.
    Get inspired by other videos you notice around.
    To animate 'elements', use keyframes.
    To apply 'overlays', green-screen/color-key is a basic procedure…
    To prep stills, a designated pic-processor is of fundamental need… although, even MacOS built-in Preview.app allows creation of 'knock-outs'/transparency… in case, you're shy to invest a few $$ for Pixelmator.
    It looks maybe complicated - it isn't!
    Don't try it first time for some serious projcect… but creating your very own Xmas-scenery is a lot of fun… plus, you learn a lot about FCPX and its many hidden gems…
    Final word:
    Catch some nice, own pics with your cam! … snowy trees, 4 candles and some cookies, a frozen window, illuminations in the streets, that crazy neighbour with his 50.000Watts of garden decorations .... Just add a charming title - done. Simplicity rules!  …
    Merry Chistmas!

  • What camcorders are compatible with final cut pro 7

    There are so many cameras that use hard disks and flash memory and I don't want to buy one that is useless with final cut pro 7. What are some guidelines I can follow?

    Yesterday I was driving home from work in the carpool lane, and a motorcycle was coming up behind me. So I did my usual pulling to the left to give the fellow ample room.  But the car in front of me veered to the right as the motorcycle approached -- obviously to try and block him.  I was quite peeved at the idiot driver, even though it had nothing to do with me.
    In the same way, I am offended by the tone av3x is using.
    I don't like how he/she is talking to you guys, with comments such as, "David, why not just answer the question?"
    Hey av3x: The people on this board don't owe you any answers.  They are not getting paid to read about your troubles.  They have invested time with you already, and you should be respectful.
    BTW, it sounds like the JVC HM100 might suit your needs.

  • Is Mavericks compatible with Final Cut Pro 7 and the rest of Studio 3?

    I still use FCP 7 and limp along, but recent updates of FCP X are encouraging.  Until I'm ready to take the plunge, would someone tell me if there's been any feedback re Mavericks' compatibility with Final Cut Pro 7 and the other software in the Studio 3 Suite - especially Compressor and DVD Studio Pro?  I'd love to dl Mavericks but not if there are compatibility issues.
    Thanks ~

    Going from SL to Lion is not advised. Start clean.
    Install Lion. Run updates. Install FCS. Run updates.

  • Because of the new final cut pro x update with photoshop capability, does that mean 3d objects are now compatible with final cut pro x

    Does Final Cut Pro X now support 3d models or objects because of the update with photshop capability?

    When you import a 3D model in Photoshop, it is imported as a Layer (smart object). And, yes, you can edit 3D objects in Photoshop and import them into FCPX—AS a photohop image (you cannot manipulate the 3D nature of the object in FCPX.) You can however create an animation in PS, convert to layers from frames and import that into fcpx. You can then edit the compound clip created to make use of those "animated" layer/frames. (I'm not sure how far I'd "push it" though...fwiw, at that point, it might be better to export the animation from PS and import the MOV into FCPX.)
    You can also make edits in PS after the psd is imported and fcpx will do live updates (after saving the psd file, of course.) 3D objects in PS are a special kind of Smart Object, and Smart Objects will translate to Motion and FCPX (they will be rasterized as a single layer, though.)

  • Is There any way to make a JVC GZ-HD7 compatible with Final Cut Pro X

    Hi
    I have a JVC GZ-HD7AA and i need it to work with my New Macbook Pro and a 30 day trial version of Final Cut Pro X
    Is there any way this will work?
    i have tried it with imovie and it wouldn't work either. If it could just work with one of these programmes i would be happy.
    Thankyou in advance for any responses.

    I know nothing about the camera other than what I have just read.
    It looks as though this may be one of the cameras whose maker thinks they're cleverer than anyone else and develops a non-standard video format that cannot be edited properly.
    If you can copy the video files to your desktop, download MPEG Streamclip and use it to convert the files to ProRes 422.

  • Is OS X Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 and Digital Performer 6.02

    I'm currently running OS X 10.6.8 and my Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 and Digiital Performer 6.02 work fine. 
    I want to upgrade to OS X Lion to take advantage of iCloud but I do not want to have to upgrade the FCP or DP programs.
    Are my current versions compatible with OS X Lion?
    Thanks,

  • Is the Sony HDR-FX7 HDV Camera compatible with Final Cut Pro 5 or 6?

    Has anyone gotten this to work correctly. I have read in a few forums that the camera is not supported by FCP and I checked on the compatibility list and it is not there. iMovie sees this camera and can capture from it.
    I can not get FCP 6 to recognize the camera. I set device control to Sony HDV and I am only able to capture using the Intermediate Codec. When I switch to the HDV codec it only will record for a second then fail. Although I can capture with some limitations I still can't get FCP to recognize the camera and therefore video from the timeline won't playback on the camera.
    I really don't want to have to buy a hdmi capture card or buy a HDV deck to get this to work. If anyone knows any workarounds it would be greatly appreciated.
    If there are none any suggestions on a cheap compatible hdv deck or camera to get footage in and out would be great.
    Thanks.

    I have never had a problem with my internal boot drive either capturing DV footage and since HDV shares the same data rate I didn't think it would be an issue.
    Then you are lucky my friend. If you wish to keep tempting fate that is your choice. I am simply suggesting that you follow the suggested setup so that you could eliminate a possible problem.
    I do think there are compatibility issues.
    This may be the case. Have you used an easy setup that matches your cameras settings and then changed control to firewire basic as I suggested earlier?
    I have manually set up the capture settings and it will only work to the intermediate codec.
    Manually settings are not always the best method. Try an easy setup as I suggested earlier.
    I have narrowed it down to 2 things, either it's a Final Cut 6 issue on an Intel Mac, or it's just not compatible (Apple does not list it in it's Compatible Hardware List).
    What I am trying to do is to narrow it down further. I have given you suggestions but it does not appear that you have tried them. If you try these we can continue to eliminate until you have an answer.
    Please post back when you have tried my previous suggestions.
