Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

Absolutely.  Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion).  Make sure you check the Self-Contained box.  The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added.  Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

    First, Share your other project. Use SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to QuickTime Movie. Under Options, choose Apple Intermediate Codec for Compression under Video Options. Save this movie where you can find it.
    Then use FILE/IMPORT MOVIE to import this movie into your Event. Now you can use it as a Cutaway.

  • I have a .mov file that is 59 gigs.  Is there a converter that can reduce the file size with minor resolution loss so I can import it into final cut express?

    I have a .mov file that is 59 gigs.  Is there a converter that can reduce the file size with minor resolution loss so I can import it into final cut express?

    Open the file in QuickTime Player. Then do Tools > Show Movie Inspector.  What does it say for Format and FPS?
    At 59GB, I suspect you have either a 4 hour DV video or a 1+ hour video that was converted to Apple Intermediate Codec.   If it's either of those, you can import it directly into FCE provided you select the appropriate Easy Setup first.  Your clips have to match the properties of the Easy Setup you are using.
    If it's neither DV or AIC then you need to convert it to one of those codecs.  (QuickTime/DV or QuickTime/AIC)  Many people in this forum rely on MPEG Streamclip (it's free and works great).

  • Bizarre results importing imovie into final cut express?

    I have filmed different interviews which were captured in imovie. I am now trying to import them into final cut express. But when I import one interview called, say, Gavin I get Karen's interview instead. The clip is labelled Gavin but the footsage is from a different interview. No matter who I import I get a completely different project and there is no rhyme nor reason to the footage that opens up.
    Basically I get the wrong footage with every clip I open.
    Please help before I end up in the loony bin!
    Exasperated,
    Clare

    I bought Final cut express just after capturing all my files in imovie (having heard that it was supposed to be easier to cature and trim in imovie before sending the files to fce - is this what you have heard?). If it weren't for a solid week capturing and trimming 40 hours of film I would recapture in fce!!
    I have even replaced the captured media within the scratch folder but still it opens the wrong files.
    The files are labelled as the interviewees name. All the books say that you can import imovie projects into fce and then render and save as fce files.
    I have tried various methods of importing, opening and even dragging a clip straight from imovie into the browser of fce - which works but opens an original untrimmed version rather than the short trimmed version and again it will be an interview of the wrong person.
    I have since been turning the imovie files into .mov files and opening them in fce - this seems to work but hope there is no change to quality.
    Would this be the way to go? I would so appreciate an answer!
    Thanks

  • Correct way of importing an iMovie 6 movie into Final Cut Express?

    Hi,
    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    Any correct way to import an iMovie 6 HD movie into Final Cut Express for further editing?
    I tried.
    1. I Exported the iMovie, at Full Quality and it made a Quicktime version of that movie.
    2. I then Imported this Quicktime version into Final Cut Express.
    3. The audio was smooth, but at regular intervals, the video freezes for a second (and then moves on).
    4. The movie plays smoothly back in its original iMovie incarnation and in its Quicktime incarnation. Only in Final Cut Express is there this intermittent freezing. Stop and start.
    5. I have Final Cut Express 3.5.1 and iMovie 6 HD.
    Thank you,
    - Ross

    "Full Quality" QuickTime export from iMovie gives you a DV stream which will need rendering in FCE. Rather than "Full Quality," choose "Expert Settings," and then the following:
    Video
    DV-DVCPRO - NTSC (assuming you're in USA)
    Sound
    48kHz
    16-bit

  • Can't move a soundtrack file into Final Cut Express

    I most likely doing something wrong. Who can give me directions for importing a Soundtrack file into Final Cut Express.

    What I do Les is go to Share in Sound Track then ...Share to iTunes. Then I go to iTunes and drag it to the desk top then import via FC. There maybe is an easier way but I don't know it.

  • Final Cut Express keeps wanting to rename my project

    I've been working on a video in Final Cut Express 3.5.1 for weeks. Now I keep getting a message on the screen that says "Final Cut Express cannot autosave your project unless you save it first. Would you like to save it now?"
    If I hit the yes button, it brings up a save box that says "Untitled" and wants me to give the project a new name and a place to save it. How can I make the autosave feature recognize that this is already a named project, and it can be autosaved without renaming it?

    Did a bit of research here. In Tom Wolsky's tutorial book on Final Cut Express 2, on p. 125, his solution to avoiding losing your Favorites bin is to just drag it from the Effects panel into the Browser. He says that this copy in the Browser will remain with the project even if the prefs get trashed.
    He also agrees that a Favorites project should be created in which you keep a bin containing all your favorite effects and filters, sometimes in stacks in separate folders.
    Then when you want to use these effects elsewhere, you can just drag them from your Favorites project into any other project.
    He says you should also burn a backup of this Favorites project to a CD occasionally to ensure you never lose it.

  • Opening Live Type Into Final Cut Express project

    I cannot get Live Type to open. When in Final Cut Express the icon box comes up with 'File Error - Wong Type'. Don't know where else to look

    You cannot open LiveType or a LiveType project in FCE. LT is a standalone application. You can import a finished LT project into FCE, but you cannot open it.

  • How can I import iMovie HD 6 project files into Final Cut Express HD3?

    Trying to import iMovie HD 6 projects into FCE HD 3 but 2 windows appear:
    Importing XML data
    and below it a
    SAVE window
    If I click SAVE, both windows disappear, a file with nothing in it appears in browser and when try to play it in the viewer, there is just black....
    Is this all because FCE HD 3 won't support iMove HD 6? so I will need to upgrade to FCE HD 4?

    Use File>Import>Files.
    iMovie Projects as a whole do not Import correctly whereas individual clips do but will need the audio rendering to play correctly.

  • Can I develop a site using Bootstrap and then import into Dreamweaver to update to the free Business Catalyst hosting?

    Can hand generated code be imported into Dreamweaver in order to use the free hosting option?

    BC provides you templates to use to modify and sell to a client.  Otherwise, they wouldn’t be there.  For example, the templates are offered when you go to create a new site. BC asks if you want to use a template, import a site, etc… so your analogy doesn’t apply in this situation.

  • How can I export an iMove Project if the Event file was deleted?  (Missing Media error message)

    Deep iMovie question:
    I accidentally deleted various EVENT files from my iMove EVENTS folder.  Yes, they are really gone ... this is NOT a matter of restoring them from the trash.
    The projects are still there ... I can still watch the projects as long as I am in iMovie ... but if I try to export the Project I get the MISSING MEDIA error message.
    Logic tells me that if I can view the project ... the  file has to be SOMEWHERE inside my computer ... else I couldn't be watching it ... right?  I mean what am I watching if not some file somewhere which has moving pictures stored in it?
    So HOW do I get to something I can export?  What am I watching when I watch the project?
    I have iMove 08 on iMac with OS 10.6.8
    Normally works great for my simple needs ... except if you move or delete an event file ...
    Can anyone out there help? 
    thank you,
    Natasya

    If you don't have the original files then I'm afriad you don't have anything to work with.
    Regards

  • When I export an iMovie Project with a sped up clip, the sound is squeaky even though I lowered the pitch in iMovie. Help?

    I've lowered the pitch of th video in iMovie, but when exported, the sound is very high pitched and squeaky.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's an iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

  • How can I combine three completed projects with text & sound to make one single movie?

    How can I combine three completed imovie 09 projects (They all have text & sound) to make one single movie? Thank you for any help you can give.

    If they are three separate projects than you will have to export all three as video files. Then you can reimport them into a new event, join them together as if they are ordinary clips, and export that.

  • Importing LiveType project into Final Cut Express HD 3.5

    I lost on how to import the livetype project into fce HD 3.5. When I do import it, i get ready to superimpose it over a scene in my movie, and a note comes up and says (insuffciant......something) what am i doing wrong?

    I'm assuming you are able to import the LT project into the FCE project and can see it listed in your FCE browser.
    Trying simply dragging the file directly from the browser to an empty video track (should be a top/upper level track..not track 1)in the sequence's timeline and place at the point/time/place you want it to appear in the sequence.
    You don't have to use the Canvas insert or overlay commands to get the LT project into the timeline.
