Exporting HD video clips from Final Cut Pro in a format readable from IPad

There are many ways to convert mp4 formatted videos into a file that can be sent to IPad via Itune and be read by IPad. However, my problem is that my videos are in a format 16 x 9 and the IPad screen is near 4 x 3 format and the pictures of my videos are squeezed horizontally.
Which application could help me creating a letter box stype with black bands on top and bottom of the IPad screen so that I can have my 16 x 9 dimension of the picture kept correctly?

Whatever your output from Final Cut, if you open in Quicktime and export or share and select Apple TV (iPad), your video shouldl be exported in a format playable on iPad.

  • Is it possible to remove phone ring from piano recital video clip in Final Cut Pro?

    Hi.
    I edit  all videos in Final Cut Pro. My last video clip is a piano recital. And  there is a phone rining during biutiful piano performance. Anybody knows how to remove it without removing  this part of music?

    Looks like you're using FCPX so this is the wrong forum, pop over to the FCPX forum and ask there, although I think the answer will be, always keep phones on silent at piano recitals.

  • How to fade background music out and fade in video clip audio Final Cut Pro X

    I am putting together videos and photos made during one of the trips, and I have background music running throughout the whole movie, but I want to fade this music during some parts of the video to hear the original speech/sounds of it, and then increase the volume of background music again. I know that in iMovie it is done in a few simple steps, and it almost automatically fades the music in/out. But I cannot find any similar options in Final Cut Pro X, how do you do it there? (I have 10.1.2 version)

    This is very easy to do.
    Press the letter R to switch to the Range tool. Drag the appropriate range in the audio clip. Press A to go back to the normal arrow tool. Drag the volume down. (Alternatively, instead of pressing R and then A, you can just hold down the letter R while you drag; then release and you are still using the arrow tool)

  • Why does Compressor take so long to export a 10 minute video clip from Final Cut Pro?

    I've been trying export a 10 minute clip from Final Cut Pro. so it can be used with DVD Studio Pro and burned. However, the rendering process has taken 12 hours! The clip I'm exporting has minimal effects, no music, and is in 1080i 30fps. Does anyone know what's going on or what I can do to speed up the process?

    First: How are you exporting? Are you using the Share feature or  Send to Compressor?
    Second: You haven't said anything about your system configuration or really very much about your movie. What is its format… is it really 30fps or 29.97? Whatever it is, are the project settings identical to the clip properties, or were they changed?

  • What compression to use when Exporting HD video from final cut pro PAL setting

    Hi there
    I'm trying to export my HD video from Final cut Pro so that I can edit it in DVD studio Pro. I initially exported it on H.264 setting however it then gives me the message 'NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects' It was edited with PAL setting so I think it must be the conversion but i'm not sure which option to use.....been really struggling to get the 1 hour footage under 4.5gb without losing too much quality...
    Any advice greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    Just to add two suggestions.
    1) Consider putting your four movies on two disks.
    2) Bring your movies into Compressor and duplicate the stock DVD setting. In the Encoding pane of the Inspector, select a CBR and dial it back to around 6.2 to 6.5 Mbs. In Preview mark a small section and submit; you'll get 2 elementary streams, with m2v and AC3 extensions. Bring that into DVDSP and evaluate results. Adjust as necessary. (This is to avoid waiting out very long encodes and then having to start again from scratch if you get disappointing results.)

  • Exporting a JPEG in 4:3 from video footage in Final Cut pro is impossible

    I'm trying to export a screen grab from final cut pro as a jpg. It's easy to export a jpg image, but as far as I can tell, it is completely impossible to export it as a 4:3 aspect ratio image. My video footage is all 4:3 but all of the jpg images I try to export come out squished into 16:9. This is driving me crazy!
    Here is what I'm doing . . .
    Export >Using Quicktime Conversion >Format (Still Image)
    From their I've tried every setting you can imagine and FCP still obstinately refused to allow me to export a jpg image in it's true proportions.
    Please prove me wrong.

    Awesome! You rock moblie! Thanks a lot for the info. I was wondering why the image proportions were correct in photoshop (ie. 720x480, I thought those were 4:3 dimensions, but I guess it's just resolution?). I adjusted the image in photoshop to be 720x534 pixels and it looks fine now.
    I realize this isn't the smartest question in the world, but why isn't 720x480 a 4:3 aspect ratio? I don't really understand aspect ratio all that well (as you can tell).
    Thanks again!

  • Can't Export Video from Final Cut Pro

    After updated to OS Maverick, I can no longer export video from Final Cut Pro.
    It pops up "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)"
    ANYONE CAN HELP??

    10.0.2, I think this is where the problem is.
    I will update to the latest (10.0.9) and update this thread to see if this will resolve my problem.

  • I can't export my video from final cut pro.

    I'm having trouble exporting anything from final cut pro x because there isn't any share button that I was use to before. It pretty much seems like there are no options seeing as they have simplified it to the point where there are no longer any options. Anyways here is a screen shot of my final cut hopefully someone will be able to help me.

    The Share menu changed in 10.0.6, and is now customizable from the Preferences of FCPX:
    You find the Share menu to the far right in the toolbar, as dastoelk wrote.

  • Burning a video from Final Cut Pro using iDVD

    When I export and save my video from Final Cut Pro to a folder (export->Using Quick Time Conversion). When I do that there are several different videos that are saved in my folder (ie-Kelly Michelle; Kelly Michelle-av1; Kelly Michelle-av2; Kelly Michelle-av3; Kelly Michelle-av4; Kelly Michelle-av5).
    iDVD is the program I need to use, I do not have any other programs. Therefore, I import the file to iDVD and once everything is ready in iDVD I try to burn the dvd. However, in the last stages of burning a window pops up and says that "an error was found during the burning process". It does not tell me what kind of an error it is. Does anyone have any advice or a step by step process that I need to do in order to burn my dvd successfully.

    The simplest way to prepare a video for iDVD is to *Export/Quicktime Movie* (NOT Using Quicktime Conversion), select Current Settings, Audio and Video and, depending on your needs, other 2 options:
    o- +Make Movie Self-Contained+ is preferred to have an independent movie (you can move the exported file, you can continue editing your FCP project before burning the exported version, etc.) but requires more disk space and more time for exporting.
    o- +Chapter Markers+ (NOT All Chapters) must be selected if you created Chapter Markers in FCP (markers in the timeline, not the clip, and clicked the Add Chapter Marker button in the marker dialog).
    The resulting .mov file (whether self-contained or reference) may be easily imported to iDVD.

  • Exporting from Final Cut Pro for DVD Studio Pro

    In the recent DVDs I've made, the quality seems lower than it has before. I don't think I've changed anything, but I was wondering what is the best format to export a clip from Final Cut Pro and the best way to encode those clips in DVD Studio Pro. Thanks for all your help!
    Erin

    The best and only format is mpeg2/m2v.
    The encoding rate for video is based on the length of the sequence in h/m/s.
    They should not be encoded in DVDSP, but exported as a self contained with current settings, no recompression and dropped into Compressor.
    Based on length and the type of footage, elect a preset for video and elect Dolby 2 for audio

  • How Can I do an export that from Final Cut Pro 7 that is specific to these settings?

    Hi
    I am current trying to export out a movie from Final Cut Pro 7 but the settings that are required are very specific and I was going to try it through compressor as well but I wasn't sure if that would work either.
    Here are the settings:
    HD:
    1 Video CODEC                 XDCAMHD50
    2 Wrapper format           QuickTime Self-Contained
    3 Bit rate                              50 Mbit/s Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
    4 GOP                                   Long GOP
                                                 Closed GOP
    5 Time code                       Must include embedded time code. Start-timecode: 10:00:00:00
    6 Movie version               UK Home Video Version
    7 Delivery time                 As per contract. Supplier to specify filename, delivery format and estimated time of arrival via email at least 60 days before                                                           transmission unless otherwise specified in contract. This should be accompanied by an IMDB link.
    1 HD video format           720 line progressively scanned (720p) @ 50Hz (25 FPS)
                                              1080 line interlace scanned (1080i) @ 50Hz (25 FPS)
    2 Resolution                      1280 x 720
                                               1920 x 1080
    3 Aspect ratio                    Content should be 16:9, however 4:3 will be accepted on exception (such as for older movies shot in 4:3)
    4 Graphics                           Must be within 16:9 safe graphics area (EBU R95-2000)
    5 Chroma format              4:2:2
    1 HD audio format           24 bits/sample 48 kHz sampling rate
    2 Track layout                    Track 1 – 2.0 Stereo L mono
                                                Track 2 – 2.0 Stereo R mono
                                                Track 3 – L
                                                Track 4 – R
                                                Track 5 – C
                                                Track 6 - Low frequency effects LFE
                                                Track 7 – L Surround
                                                Track 8 – R Surround

    First of all, what are your sequence settings?  Looks like they want stereo AND dolby 5.1 audio tracks embedded in the quicktime (I've delivered a few films like this).  Do you have a surround sound mix?  
    You will almost always have more options and control in compressor over fcp so that's the way I'd go, but not sure compressor will give you the ability to match these specs. 
    Do you understand about safe zones for graphics?  If not, post back.
    I don't see any option to set the GOP in xdcam in compressor.  This may be built in to the xdcam format.
    I don't see any option for 720 xdcam hd in compressor. 
    There are many other tools available for this kind of work, but they may be out of your price range.  You might want to just find a facility with experience in deliverying this sort of thing.

  • Exporting From Final Cut Pro 5.0

    Hello,
    I need to export my work from Final Cut Pro 5.0 to a Quicktime Movie with the following settings -
    Compression: H.264
    Frame Rate: 15fps
    Bit Rate: 200k
    Is this posible without loosing the quality of the video footage? The footage was capture from a MiniDV tape.

    Is this posible without loosing the quality of the video footage? The footage was capture from a MiniDV tape.
    If you want full resolution 640 x 480 then 200Kbps isn't going to look very good. As a guide you can note that Apple is using about 600Kbps to encode the iTunes video content and that has a resolution of only 320 x 240. However, since you're only using a frame rate of 15fps you should be able to produce good looking content at just over 1Mbps for 640 x 480.
    Of course, it does depend upon the nature of your source video (the subject). Simple "talking head" shots could go lower, while rapid action material might need considerably more than 1Mbps (along with a higher frame rate).

  • Exporting 'flv' files from Final Cut Pro

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there was such a program that would export
    'flv' files straight from Final Cut Pro time line for my mac. I
    know that you can purchase Adobe Flash which enables this, however
    I don't wish to buy the whole program. Is there a video encoder
    program or something that you can purchase that will enable me to
    export from FCP?

    Not sure about FCP, tho I would expect the latest Final Cut
    Studio to be able to do
    it.
    Anyway,
    Quick Time Player can export MOV to FLV. Not sure whether
    it's the regular player,
    I'm having the PRO version for many years and this one allow
    that kind of export.
    You being a Mac user, I guess that's the easiest and cheapest
    way to get FLV out of your
    available tools.
