Final Cut Expess HD and iMovie

Please,
Can you tell me why Final Cut Express HD leave if I want to open an iMovie 6.0.1 project.
Thanks for your help,
Denise

Bonjour(Hi)!
Did you try to open an "exported" movie to see if there is any issue with the iMovie project itself ?
Avez-vous essayé d'ouvrir un film exporté à partir d'iMovie pour vérifier s'il n'y a pas de problème avec le projet iMovie lui-même?
Is there any special effects applied to clip in iMovie, specificly with external plug-in ?
Y a-t-il des effets spéciaux appliqués au film, particulièrement avec des modules externes d'effets ?
Is there any file bough on iTune music store in the iMovie project ?
Y a-t-il un fichier de musique achetée sur le iTune Music Store dans le projet iMovie ?
Take note that you have to open the iMovie project with the following method:"Opening an iMovie project in Final Cut Express HD"
see: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61851
Il faut suivre les instructions prévues par le lien:

Quality between final cut pro X and iMovie

Is there any one know that the final cut pro X has a better resolution/color quality than imovie? I have import my 1080p digital video to imovie, after processing, and found that the qualtity of color seems down grade to an unacceptable quality as special as some under exposure area. The color seems painting. No graduation change.

That is exactly why I went to FCPX (along with wanting more editing flexibility). The resolution and color quality are far better in FCPX than I was able to achieve with iMovie.

Are there bugs between final cut express 2, and imovie?

i dont have the HD version of final cut express, just the original version. i imported some footage and exported as a H.264 high quality video, then put that to idvd...the final burned version looked like soo bad, it was like the horizonal lines of the video were blurred and studdering. i don't know. so i exported a full quality video and took it to imovie HD6 to do the H.264 compression, then took that to idvd and did a "best quality" burn and then the final output on the tv....looked like some frames were being skipped.....what the heck? Is this just a bug between final cut express 2.0 and idvd? maybe i should try capturing in imovie and sending that to idvd.....BUT I ALREADY EDITED IT! AHHHHHH

well i'm trying to save space on my HD, so i export to a H.264 file to keep on my drive, and when i need to make dvd's, i just compress the H.264 file, and it still looks awesome on a tv......it has worked a while ago, but all of a sudden it's giving me issues. i've tried every way
RAW to H.264 to imovie to idvd best quality to dvd....BAD
RAW to RAW to imovie to idvd best performance to dvd...BAD
RAW to H.264 to idvd best quality to dvd...BAD
RAW to imovie to H.264 to imovie to idvd to dvd...BAD
i just dont get it

Trouble capturing on final cut express hd and imovie

I am having trouble capturing media in fc express as well as imovie. my footage is HD. when I start to capture the media goes in normal for like 2 seconds, then it says that the capture is 95% behind(in fc express) or that it is capturing at 1/8 speed (imovie). even when i stop the capture in order to let it catch up to real time,the media freezes up so that i cant really view it. i dnt know what i am missing.Ive even tried to use a different firewire cable. any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply Tom. (BTW I'm not the original poster.)
You are correct- It is a USB drive formatted FAT 32 . After my original post, I erased the drive and started over with a clean slate. This was successful for tape one (about 60 minutes). About twenty minutes into tape two though, it was deja vu all over again. FC froze, I force quit, and lost all of what I had captured from tape one in the process. I unsuccessfully tried to recapture tape one. Same problem again.
Although this is the first time I've tried to capture through FC onto an external drive, I've got three other USB drives full of video I've captured from VHS with the same computer through a DV encoder. When you say USB is not supported by Apple for video applications, does that mean video editing applications? As for complete information, apologies but I'm not exactly sure what other info. you mean. Please let me know. Thanks again. I appreciate the time.

Hi -
Mr. Ross is right, there is no direct way to export your project with all it's elements into iMovie.
If, on the other hand, you have a completed sequence in FCP that you want to export as a finished element, then import into iMovie for you to re-edit or apply titles, music, etc. you would:
In FCP:
Click on the Sequence Icon you want to export in your browser.
Go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie. Give your movie a name a navigate to where you want it stored. Make sure you choose Settings: Current Settings and have the Make Movie Self Contained checked. Click Save.
Close FCP and open iMovie.
In iMovie:
Go to the menu File > Import > Movies and navigate to the movie you just exported from FCP. Choose if you want your movie imported in it's original size, etc.
Click Import. Your movie will be imported into iMovie.
Note that using this method only gives you only the elements that made up your FCP sequence, so this may not give you the flexibility you need.
Hope this helps.

Final Cut Studio 2 and video app chaos

Hi,
Did anyone find after installing Final Cut Studio 2 that their 3rd party apps to do with video extraction/conversion suddenly start to unexpectedly quit when in operation? It's a brand new MacPro, lovely machine until Final Cut software went and messed things up. I won't mention the trouble I had to install both Logic Studio and FCS since they both share similar components and included apps, Apple's installer is not designed to cope and I had to mess about with the receipts folder to get both installed. This page was available yesterday http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1110?locale=en_GB to give an insight of the problems between the two. Anyhow, I think the best solution is to remove Final Cut software as I'm not up for spending hours debugging.

I had a huge issue pop up with me too...and I figured the best way was to wipe the drive, install the OS and FCP from scratch. Took a day, but better than spending more time trying to figure things out.

Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio on MacBook

I have a white MacBook bought in late 2008. It has a 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor w/ 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
My question is: has anyone run Final Cut Studio 2 and/or Logic Pro with these specs? And how was it?
I was told performance would be weak. I was also told nothing could be done to improve the performance other than buy a MacPro or at the very least get a MacBookPro. I have no reason NOT to believe this but I am interested in a second opinion.

Hi there,
Ignore the other posts, both run absolutely fine on a macbook! I use final cut studio 2 on a white macbook and so do about 10 of my friends almost without problem. Final cut works perfectly, dvd sp works perfectly, motion works perfectly, soundtrackpro works perfectly! the only problem i ever had was rendering with 'color', none of my other friends grade their videos so they have no problems at all. Are you going to do any grading?
I believe the macbook is not officially supported though, so I don't think you'll be able to get help from apple if there's any problem solving to be done. I've been using FCP and FCS for years now though and have honestly never had a problem I couldn't solve myself
Logic also runs amazingly well too.
hope that helps

Final Cut Studio 2 and Canon hv20

I'm currently working on Final Cut Studio 2 and I'm looking at buying a Canon HV20. I've looked into some threads on this one and it seems that people are having trouble with this camera on FC Studio 2. Is there anyone out there that can attest to smooth and efficient workflow with this set up? A major selling point for me is the 24p, tell me it works well, please tell me it works well.
thank you,
t r e y v o n

HV20 works perfectly at 24p in FCP 6.0.2.
Added advantage is that you can capture uncompressed (with HDMI card and fast drive/RAID) at much higher quality and resolution than HDV.
Quality is so good, you can create great 1920 x 1080 24p green screen shots (using 4:2:2 color space from HDMI) and dvMatte Pro 3.
The next step up to get better quality at 24p is around $5K-$6K range (I think?).
Here's a small image of a 24p frame shot on green screen with the HV20:

Final cut studio 2 and macbook pro 17?

I'm anxious to purchase Final Cut Studio 2, and a new MacBook Pro 17" laptop. Is FCS2 and this laptop 100% compatible? Will I be able to install and run FCS2 on this laptop successfully?
Laptop specs:
MacBook Pro 17" Notebook 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, TI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics processor, dual -ink DVI support, 256MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, external 500G hard drive for video storage (firewire 800).
MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Well those that have tried running FCS 2 on a 17" laptop can't talk. It's not released yet...
However there is no reason why it shouldn't work well. Add an Io HD to the mix, and you'll edit HD on it all day long... we were showing this in the AJA booth at NAB a couple of weeks ago. Apple was running it too on laptops in their booth...
Figure it should be fine. With the advent of Pro Res, there's little you couldn't edit on a MBP... however there are some things you'll not be editing with it, such as 2 k files, or uncompressed HD. Pro res takes care of that though. It's really visually lossless.

Final Cut Studio 2 and avc-intra

I am using Final Cut Studio 2 and am having trouble with .mxf files. I downloaded the avc-intra decoder drive from Panasonics site and a majority of the files ended 3/4 of the way through with sever audio noise at the end. I sent the drive back to the cameraman to see if he had better luck, turns out he did... Though I saw that he was using Final Cut Studio 3 and the quicktime files he provided back were formatted as AVC-Intra 100M...which is neither playable in quicktime or editable in Final Cut Studio 2.
What am I missing? Time to upgrade? What can I do in the meantime.
Thanks for the ideas!

Well, you can't use the file he sent unless you upgrade. But if you get the card dumps back, you should be able to LOG AND TRANSFER to ProRes on your system fine. Or was that the issue? They had garbage at the end?
Trashing preferences fixes a lot of FCP oddities.

Final Cut Pro x and Compressor 992 hour to process

I edited a 1 hour-40 minute video, on Final Cut Pro X and processed using Apple's Compressor.
I have tried different Operating Systems (Mavericks and Mountain Lion) on two different Mac Computers.
IMac 2.8 Mhz and Mac Book Pro (both 2008)
It has been transcoding to create video to run on Apple Devices, for over 6 days now, and it shows that it will take 992 hours to process.
The same video, some months back, with Mountain Lion, took a couple of days to process.
Question: Why is it taking this long now?
I have tried to get a DVD done, different types of output; none have succeeded.
I guess Apple, has made adjustments to their Operating Systems, to basically render this computers inoperable, forcing customers to buy their latest Mac models.
Yes, I went to the "Genius Bar" at Apple (twice), first they told me to increase the memory, which I did; even though months ago I had videos processed without extra memory.
The second time at the "Genius Bar", after I had installed extra memory, they had nothing to say, except that "they had a friend" with the same problem, but after "the friend" bought a new Mac, the problem was resolved.
I called Apple support and was told to "reset PRAM", which I did. Still the problem persists.
Any ideas?

You don't mention how much RAM is in your machines, nor what are the versions of FCP X and the OS.
These can make a lot of difference. If you are trying a long export with very little RAM (and I must say 4GB is *very little* RAM), then it can get bogged down tremendously. Do you have at least 8GB?
How much free RAM is reported in Activity Monitor?
Are you using Mavericks or a previous version of the OS? Mountain Lion was notorious for slowing down to a crawl in such circumstances.
Give us more info, so we can better help.
In the meantime, you might consider exporting just a small section of the movie (use I and O to mark an in and an out point in the timeline) and see how fast it goes; keep Activity Monitor open while you are doing it.

Question about Final Cut Pro X and miniDV's

Hi,
I'm thinking in buying Final Cut Pro X and use it to import and edit many hours of footage that I have on miniDV's tapes.
I've heard that to work with miniDV's, Final Cut Pro X is not great, especially regarding timecode, etc. True?
Any thoughts and advises? Many thanks!

My experience is if you're shooting SD then you shouldn't have a problem unless you are trying to load a full hour. When I tried that, the computer went crazy and loaded the video as thousands of clips just a few frames long.
That was supposed to be for a multicam shoot. I went back to FCP 7 where I've never had a single problem after at least 80 multicam projects with as many as eight cameras.
I'll have to try it again in FCP X now that there have been two updates since my last try.
I've also used HDV mini DV tapes shot with a Canon HV40. The video looked great in FCP X and I had no problem with clips that were 2-3 minutes long.
I did not load my HDV clips as ProRes in FCP X because, when I did try it, they looked like total crap. I was afraid my finished exported video would also look like that.
