Final Cut Pro X witch Blu-ray Burner are you using ...

Using a Mac Pro Tower like the Mac Pro 2012 or similar what are the Blu-ray Internal Burners do you use ; LG or Pioneer , witch Model Number.
Creating Blu-ray on the Mac is fantastic but witch brand and model numbers for the Big Mac Pro Tower are you using with exellent results now.
On the Mac Apple Pro Apps or Roxio Toast Titanium are the only left options who are current and updated , but burners specified for Windows.
Frustration come when you talk to Apple they say not supported , Burners makers LG or Pioneer will say we dont offer support on the Mac.
Well if you can create Blu-ray on the Mac but cant get any help to burn it it is very frustrating and Not So Pro if Apple care for the Pro Users.

I use the new Mac Pro 2013. Final Cut Pro X version 10.1.4 and Maverick OS 10.9.5. An external Blu-ray burner LG BE14NU40. I've use single burn Blu-ray discs from brands like Maxell and Verbatim. That works fine. I have double layers Blu-ray discs not tried. I use it for home video’s.
DVD single works fine too. DVD double layers I have not tried but will also work i think. Reviews on LG USA stated that Roxio Titanium with corresponding plugin works.
I'm glad I found a blu-ray burner that works with FCPX.  Compressor 4.1.3 but I have not been working with the LG burner. Not yet!

  • Final Cut Pro 7 - Share - Blu-ray - ERROR

    Fresh install of OS and FCS.
    Ran a quick test to make sure this would work:
    File - Share - Blu-ray
    Burned to disc then and there, and it was successful on an eleven second portion of the clip with an in and out point on the timeline.
    The result was a beautiful Blu-ray quality 11 second clip recorded onto a DVD-RW, and it played back fine on a PS3. (AVCHD)
    Extended the in and out point on the same clip in the same timeline in order to do a 20 minute version of the same thing. 2.5 hours later, it ejected my blank DVD I had already inserted, and asked me for a Dual Layer. I put one in, and it ejected that one, too. I kept trying different blank media and eventually it tells me:
    There was an error burning your disc.
    Operation could not be completed. (DSPPublishing error -1006.)
    Hit "Try Again" and after a few minutes it says again,
    Please insert the dual layer media to burn the
    disc "name-Blu-ray".
    Seems to be an endless loop. It's reporting the final size will be only 1.6GB, so I don't know why it's asking for a DL disc. I spoke to Apple today and they told me this feature was not compatible with DL media at all anyway.
    If anyone can help...

    Update and WORKAROUND:
    I have been experimenting and here's what I've learned:
    I'm thinking the new "Create Disc" is the cause. The encoded files generated by FCP7 and Compressor 3.5 are fine. One whacky theory of mine is the programmers made a typo where if you encode a file like this over 1GB the burn fails. I don't know, I'm just saying, it's probably something simple like that.
    I spoke to Apple, too. First I had someone tell me it failed because I tried a clip larger than 25 minutes, so I tried 20, and it failed, too, the same way. (I also previously encoded a 3.5 minute clip and it was excellent.) This person also told me Dual Layer was not supported at all. He was completely wrong.
    I called back and this time it was a guy named Bob. If you ever call and speak to him, just do him a favor and hang up on yourself and save him the trouble. He won't let you speak to tell him the problem, and even if you are calm and try he's the type to tell you to "calm down, sir." He literally told me "there is no Blu-ray feature" in the new FCS. I merely asked if he had seen the new Compressor and he told me he knew everything, and asked me to have a nice day before hanging up on me. I know he's an anomaly at Apple.
    I called back and spoke to someone else, and they gave me this link:
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/burn_br_mac_superdrivestone.html
    After I read it I thought, "that's exactly what I did!" But it doesn't work and that's why I'm calling. (Even that article reports odd bugs.)
    I called again, just because I know this needs to be fixed. Finally I spoke to someone who passed it along, and they are going to look into it. Get this - he checked the FCS manuals and discovered that it is indeed a feature that should work. Maybe they will name the patch after me.
    So I also found a solution in the meantime. I've read hints here and there, but this is what has just worked for me and I wanted to verify before posting and sharing it:
    Do the encode with Share in FCP7 or Compressor 3.5. Screw what anyone tells you about "maximum size" or 25 minutes or even what Compressor tells you regarding the number of minutes of footage the disc will hold. It's wrong. And, it will support Dual Layer discs. Go by the file size in the summary, and that's it. (I'm talking about AVCHD here, nothing else. It's the Blu-ray setting and you can change it to AVCHD to burn on a DVD-5 or DVD-9, in the manual it says "red laser media.")
    If you want to burn to a DVD-5 stay under around 4GB for your video, but you can experiment with the details. You have a minimum of 5Mbps and a max of 17Mbps in a VBR. Seriously, use whatever you want, as long as it will fit on the media. This is also about H.264, not MPEG-2.
    Export to files, and make sure you do NOT burn from FCP7 or Compressor 3.5, because that will cause the problem. It will even completely ruin your blank media, but you may think it's still blank because they will be detected as blank media, even in other systems. But they cannot be used, ever again, merely for trying with "Create Disc."
    In the end you will have two files:
    movie.264
    movie.ac3
    If you have two files with those extensions and they don't have the exact same file name, rename them, but keep the extensions.
    I used Toast 9. Blu-ray Video option. Add - locate the two clips with the same names with .264 and .ac3. They go in, deal with the ugly menus, but make sure you do this:
    In the Encoding settings:
    Custom
    MPEG-4 AVC
    Average Bit Rate: to whatever you used in Compressor or FCP7.
    Maximum Bit Rate: may as well set it to 17 (we're trying not to re-encode the files)
    Motion Est - Best - check the Half-PEL box
    Reencoding - Never (that might make the above a waste, but it only took a couple seconds so stop complaining.) Set the rest to the same settings in the same way.
    Choose your blank media and burn it, and few seconds later you can slap it into your PS3 and watch the creamy smooth silky beautiful encode right there.
    I read somewhere it retains the FCP color settings and that's probably why doing it this way is a thousand times better than using Toast to encode (which skips really bad in my tests). I've also tried Encore and it was ugly and looked like it skipped frames.
    Anyway, "Create Disc" may not work right now, but the encodes are amazing. I hope this helps others from banging their heads against the wall, and from calling Bob. I just burned a 2 hour movie onto a DVD and played it back on a PS3!
    For further reading, here are some interesting links I found:
    http://www.shedworx.com/revolverhdmac-faq
    - Talks about Apple's support of H.264 "High Profile" - they type needed for AVCHD and Blu-ray movies.

    - PS3 supported file types.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/davtechtable/2008/03/updated_march_2008_workingwi.html
    - Interesting times of various encodes on different systems. For Encore, but comparable to Compressor for time differences.
    If this has helped you, Apple owes me some money, and you're welcome.

  • Final cut pro x keeps on saying files are full when trying to export when their not ?

    Hi
    Final cut pro x keeps on saying files are full when i'm trying to export when they are not full and also what setting do i export them on for a small quicktime?

    The preset that will give you the smallest file is email and you will have 3 choices of size. Not sure what you consider small, but also take a look at Apple Device.
    Your error message is Files are Full or DIsk is Full? Will need more info about your system specs, the format of the clips you're using and your project settings.

  • I can't not transfer files in 'log and transfer' of Final Cut Pro. I recorded it in SD card using Nikon D7000 and JVC GY-HM100U.

    I can't not transfer files in 'log and transfer' of Final Cut Pro. I recorded it in SD card using Nikon D7000 and JVC GY-HM100U.
    I think I need plug-in.  Please let me know.  Thank you.

    Well, the Nikon D7000 footage cannot be logged and transferred.  There is no plugin for that like there is for the Canon cameras. Nikon never developed one.  So the footage from that camera will need to be converted with Compressor or MPEG STREAMCLIP.
    The JVC should work...what version of FCP are you on?

    You don't. You can install the same copy of FCP-7 on two macs (as long as you own both macs). You can't operate both copies at the same time.

  • Can Final Cut Studio 2 make Blu-Ray DVDs

    I have Final Cut Studio 2 on a mac book pro. I am not sure whether this topic belongs in compressor or dvd studio, but does the HD DVD mean it is HD DVD Format or a DVD that is high definition. So, in other words, can I do Blu-Ray also.

    DVD Studio Pro 4.2 (in Final Cut Studio 2) has not yet had an update that allows creating and burning a blu-ray project.
    You can create a basic HD DVD (yes it is a format) project and burn to a normal Standard Definition (red laser) DVD.
    This plays on Mac computers only and certain Toshiba HD DVD set top players.
    (see here for the "how to" )
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4436223&#4436223
    We're stilll waiting for Apple to update DVD Studio Pro to enable blu-ray support.
    So, no, you can't make blu-ray video projects on your MacBook Pro...yet.
    You can only burn data discs should you buy a blu-ray burner.
    For a closer examination of what's similar, and what's different between the two fomats, have a look here:

  • Final cut pro 7 goes blue screen

    Please help help, I'm still using final cut pro 7, last week while I was working on a project the screen turned blue w/white lines, ever since I could not use FCP 7 anymore.. I updated the OS, I even formatted the internal HD, but no success, please help

    First troubleshooting step is to rest your fcp preferences.  Here's the best way to do that

  • I am a beginner at Final Cut Pro. Need help converting MPEG-2 to use.

    I am a beginner at Final Cut Pro. I have mpeg-2 video footage that I am trying to import the footage into Final cut, but can't. I understand I need to convert the file format. I am unfamiliar with how to go about the converding file formats and the codec what is the best way to go about converting the file format so I can edit it on Final cut pro?

    Where did the files originate? (How were they created?)
    Some formats can be brought in with the help of plug-ins.
    MPEG Streamclip can usually convert them to Quick Time.

  • "Final Cut Pro generated an error or unexpectedly" Error when using Qmaster

    Hello all I have Final Cut Studio 3. I am using the latest Final Cut and the latest compressor.
    I have a Core i7 so i am trying to use all 8 virtual threads or at least four. However when I use the "This Computer" option in compressor it is not an issue. It will compress fine. However, when i use the virtual cluster i set up with QMaster i get the dreaded "Final Cut Pro generated an error or unexpectedly" and it fails. I am unsure what to do. Here are the circumstances:
    When I to compressor from FCP and use "this computer" it is no problem.
    When I send to compressor from FCP and try to use your personalized cluster (taking advantage of those expensive cores!) it won't work. it fails and give me the aforementioned error.
    I have enclosed a video which can be seen at:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyKsw8ii5Ig
    PS I know that I can make the file quick time self contained, but this program should work on it own.

    Virtual Clustering works by launching multiple copies of the Compressor encoder, each of which needs access to the source media that you are compressing. This is fine if you are compressing from a source movie clip, as they can just open the file multiple times.
    But when you export from Final Cut Pro, FCP can only communicate with one copy of the encoder - it cannot launch multiple copies of itself. *Consequently, you cannot export to a virtual cluster from the Send to Compressor command.*
    A common misconception is that exporting to a QuickTime movie is slower. This is wrong - it is actually faster for two reasons - 1) it is faster to read the file directly than to request each frame from FCP and 2) you have access to virtual clustering. If your timeline is completely or partially rendered, deselect Make Self-Contained and the QuickTime export will be quicker.
    Another issue is that you are using up all of your virtual cores, leaving nothing left over for the operating system. There are varying schools of thought on how many to choose, ranging from the total number of cores minus one to half the number of cores (the latter being Apple's official suggestion). Also remember that each instance requires at least 1 GB of RAM, and remember to leave some extra for the OS and running applications.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, Final Cut Pro X has challenges uploading videos to You Tube

    Since upgrading to Mavericks OS X, when I upload a video from Final Cut Pro to You Tube it takes several tries to upload. The error message is: "Unable to share video to You Tube, Network Connection Timed Out (or Lost.(" On average it takes at least four tries. This absolutlely did not happen before the Mavericks upgrade. Any help would be appreicated.

    Typically people who run old OS versions hold on to them because certain software versions are most stable on that OS. (Or because their hardware doesn't support later versions.) And they are loath to try and do anything to disturb that eco system – accepting the fact that they are running a system that is no longer supported by the manufacturer and often the applications' developers.. For whatever reason, you disturbed that eco system by reinstalling the OS..
    Final Cut didn't upgrade itself. It's just that the version you had that was "running like a dream" is no longer available from the App Store…for your OS.
    If you want some ways out, either: restore the app from your system backup; upgrade your OS to at least Mountain Lion and you may he able to download an older version of Final Cut; or create a separate bootable volume and install a later OS that will support 10.1.x.

  • Final cut pro x freezes durring dvd burning

    When I burn a DVD FCP X will get almost to the end and then hang. The status bar reaches about a quarter of an inch from the end and then doesn't proceed from there. I let it run for about 12 hours. The Share Monitor application shows that the movie and sound tracks were completed.
    I was able to burn discs about a year ago but then final cut stopped and I can't get it to work again. Any ideas?

    If the encode completes and it fails to initiate the job action, possibly a permissions thing. Doubtful that is your optical drive, but guess it's a possibility. So I would try three things:
    1. repair permissions
    2. trash prefs using Digital Rebellion's pref manager
    3. share to DVD and select HD as output device
    If those don't work, uninstall and reinstall.
    Good lick.

  • How do you change the backdrop in final cut pro from a blue screen?

    How do you edit a blue screen clip?

    See reply in your other post.
    The blue screen clip has to be positioned above the normal background clip of course.

  • Where is the Blu-Ray Option in Final Cut Pro 10.0.6?

    I used to be able to burn Final Cut Pro timelines to Blu-Ray. I downloaded version 10.0.6 today and the Blu-Ray option is gone. Where did it go? Final Cut Pro X is of no use to me without the option to distribute on Blu-Ray. Burning to DVD which I still can do is not good enough.

    It's still in here, just not in the fast menu.
    File > Share > Add Destination or
    File > Preferences
    You can add Blu-Ray to your quick destinations.

  • Provide Feedback for the Final Cut Pro User Manual and Onscreen Help Here

    The Apple documentation team for Final Cut Pro would like to know what you think about the Final Cut Pro 5 Help documentation (available in the Help menu):
    • How often do you use the Final Cut Pro Help? Under what circumstances do you use it most?
    • How do you find what you're looking for in Final Cut Pro Help? For example: table of contents, index, skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
    • What do you like about it most?
    • What is missing?
    • Are there any particular examples of manuals or documentation that you consider to be good models for the Final Cut Pro manual and onscreen help?
    • By what method do you usually learn a new application? For example: provided tutorials and manuals, third-party tutorials or books, training classes?
    • Did you use the Final Cut Pro Getting Started book to familiarize yourself with Final Cut Pro? If so, do you feel the book provided a good introduction to the application?
    • What do you think is the most difficult feature/concept to grasp in Final Cut Pro?
    • What's the most frustrating experience you've had with the Final Cut Pro documentation?
    • Do you prefer electronic or print documentation?
    • Are there any other delivery methods or media you think we should explore?
    • What size computer display do you typically use to view the onscreen help? For example: 15-inch, 17-inch, 20-inch, 23-inch, or 30-inch?
    • What resolution is the computer display set to when you view onscreen help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280 x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
    • Do you use multiple computer displays?

    • How often do you use the Final Cut Pro Help? Under
    what circumstances do you use it most?
    Often, I much prefer that to the Manual, though the Search function is very clunky. Search for Nest for example and you'll get about 50 listings for the table of contents and indexes alone, when all I would really want is the explanation of how to actually create a Nest.
    • How do you find what you're looking for in Final
    Cut Pro Help? For example: table of contents, index,
    skimming, PDF links, PDF search?
    Search.
    • What do you like about it most?
    Ease of use to get through the manual instead of going through the books themselves.
    • What is missing?
    Better organization of the search results. Again, if I search Nests, make the first set of results the answers that actually show me how to use the tool, not the 50 times it appears in the table of contents and indexes.
    • Are there any particular examples of manuals or
    documentation that you consider to be good models for
    the Final Cut Pro manual and onscreen help?
    Honestly, Apple's is the best I've seen for the moment.
    • By what method do you usually learn a new
    application? For example: provided tutorials and
    manuals, third-party tutorials or books, training
    classes?
    Just crack the app open and start. Use websites like the Creative Cow for more input and ideas.
    • Did you use the Final Cut Pro Getting Started book
    to familiarize yourself with Final Cut Pro? If so, do
    you feel the book provided a good introduction to the
    application?
    I thought the Tutorial that came with my first copy of FCP (Version 2.0) was outstanding at introducing me to the interface and how FCP operated. I came from Media 100 and in particular, the Log and Capture operation was completely different than what I was used to.
    • What do you think is the most difficult
    feature/concept to grasp in Final Cut Pro?
    Media Manager. Not sure why it has to be so convoluted. Media 100 was too easy with this one. Select the Sequence to be up-rez'd, set your new format and capture.
    • What's the most frustrating experience you've had
    with the Final Cut Pro documentation?
    Search results using the Help menu.
    • Do you prefer electronic or print documentation?
    Actually both. If the electronic search gets too frustrating, I'll pull the print manual out to find what I really need.
    • Are there any other delivery methods or media you
    think we should explore?
    Not really. Internet based help is always nice, but I don't keep my FCP workstations connected to the web so that would actually create a bigger hassle for us.
    • What size computer display do you typically use to
    view the onscreen help? For example: 15-inch,
    17-inch, 20-inch, 23-inch, or 30-inch?
    17" Powerbook display, 17" 20" and 23" Apple Displays and a 17" Sony Display.
    • What resolution is the computer display set to when
    you view onscreen help? For example: 1024 x 768, 1280
    x 854, or 1920 x 1200 pixels?
    Highest resolution for that monitor.
    • Do you use multiple computer displays?
    Yes. 23 & 17" on one G5. 20 & 17" on the 2nd G5. 17" Powerbook
    Powerbook G4 17, G5 Dual 2.0, G5 Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.5) AJA Kona 2 on both G5's, Fibre Channel and SATA arrays in use.
