MPEG-4 is  delivery framework and should never be used in production. At the very leasgt you should optimize the media when you import it.

  • How to import MXF files to Final Cut Pro with smooth editing

    Summary: Follow this tutorial to learn how to import and edit MXF files in Final Cut Pro by converting MTS to FCP native format.
    If you have a Panasonic P2, Canon XF or Sony XDCAM series camcorder,
    you may be familiar with Material eXchange Format (MXF). Though MXF is a
    great video format to record high-definition videos, it is not easy to
    use in that they are not natively supported by most NLE systems like
    Final Cut Pro. In order to import MXF to FCP for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode MXF files to FCP compatible video formats.
    Along with some help from a top MXF Converter, it can be done. To
    help those who wanna edit MXF files in FCP without problems, here I
    share with you a simple guide on how to convert MXF files to edit in
    Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X.
    First of all, downloading the App- Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac
    Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use MXF Converter
    on Mac (Mavericks included) which can not only convert XF100, Canon
    C300, XF105 and XF305, Panasonic P2 recorded MXF files, but also provide
    simple video editing functions for you. The MXF to FCP Converter not
    only can convert MXF to ProRes for FCP, but also can transcode MXF
    videos for editing in Avid MC, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, FCE, etc.
    Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.
    Transcoding (P2) MXF files to ProRes for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X
    1. Import MXF files to the converter
    Launch the best MXF to FCP Converter, and then click the “add files” button to browse and import MXF videos from your camcorder or hard drive.
    2. Select FCP editable format
    Click the Format bar, and move mouse cursor to choose “Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” as output format.
    Tips:
    a. Settings- click to set video
    resolution(1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate (from 1Mbps to
    20Mbps), frame rate (24p/30p)
    b. Editor (next to “Add” icon)- click to set deinterlace, trim, crop, add effect, attach subtitles, etc
    3. Start transcoding MXF video to FCP
    Click “Convert” button to start converting MXF files to Apple ProRes
    MOV for FCP 6/7/X under Mac OS. Once the MXF to ProRes 422 conversion
    is done, you can transfer MXF footage into Final Cut Pro (X) for editing
    smoothly on Mac with ease.

  • How do I open my Final Cut Express 4.0 files in Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?

    Hello,
    I used Final Cut Pro when I was in college and when I graduated in 2010, I bought Final Cut Express 4.0. I recently bought Final Cut Pro 10.1.3 two days ago and I am having trouble opening up my old Final Cut Express 4.0 files. When I do go to open up these files they only open up with Final Cut Express and I always get the message: file's format is too new for this version of the application.
    How do I open these Final Cut Express 4.0 files in Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?
    Thank you!
    Anna

    TThere is no way to go directly from FCE to FCPX. If you know somehow who has FCP7, they can open the FCE projects and export XML files. These can be converted to FCPX XML format using the 7toX utility.

  • I shot video on a Panasonic P2 and I'm trying to import the MXF files to Final Cut Pro but when I try to import, the only thing that imports is a blurry image of each clip. There's no audio and no video...how can I import MXF files into Final Cut Pro?

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • How to Import AVCHD 1080/60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7?

    How do I import AVCHD 1080 / 60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7? And if there is no direct way [I certainly haven't found one, but I'm no expert], what additional software would be used? I want to import the files from a Panasonic HDC-HS700 onto an Intel Mac laptop [Mac OSX 10.5.8]? Obviously I don't want to compress & compromise my footage.
    I’m sure a simple, straightforward series of steps would help many people with this issue.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response!
    I'm guessing you've found ClipWrap2 to be better than competing products [such as AVCHD Converter for Mac, Toast Titanium, or Voltaic].
    On to the next steps. Using Clipwrap2, would I leave the checkbox "Convert Audio to LPCM" selected or deselected [and what the heck is LPCM?]. In the pulldown menu would I choose "Rewrap (Don't alter video samples)" or do I save a step by choosing "Apple ProRes 422"?
    And finally, am I gaining anything by shooting 1080/60p on this Panasonic HD Camera other than a headache? [Some have suggested this is not a True 60p.]

  • How can you fix corrupt Project Files in Final Cut Pro X?

    Hello All,
    I have reason to believe that one of my project files in Final Cut Pro X is corrupt.
    How may I begin to resolve this issue?  Is there a third party software someone could recommend, like Digital Rebellion (if they have software for FCP X, I'm not sure) that may improve, if not hopefully solve this issue?
    Many thanks!!
    Molly

    Had a similar problem.
    Follow it here:
    http://www.fcp.co/forum/4-final-cut-pro-x-fcpx/11076-freeze-during-export
    among other steps taken I used Corrupt Clip Finder to isolate/remove the culprit and all was OK after that
    no idea how/why the file ( which I''d been using over 5 previous versions) became corrupted

  • How to work on TOD files on Final Cut Pro

    Hi,
    I can't figure out how to work on .TOD files on Final Cut Pro. I'm using a JVC Everio HD40 camera. None of the sequence presets work. Is there a plug-in or something else I could try?
    Thanks for any help!

    .TOD is JVCs version of an MPEG 2 file.
    Use Log and Transfer from the File menu and convert to ProRes.

  • My files from final cut pro trial aren't transferring to final cut pro x - how do I fix this?

    I had been making a video in the final cut pro trial and didn't realize my trial was going to run out as soon as it did that day. I downloaded final cut pro x and was planning on finishing up editing tonight, but none of my files from final cut pro trial transferred over to final cut pro x. Everywhere I have read online said they should transfer automatically, but that's not happening. Is there a fix?

    you're tried using the 'Open Library' command?

  • How to work with .XML files with FINAL CUT PRO HD

    Ok so I am a newby, kind of. We filmed a feature using the SONY XDCAM 350. uses the optical 23.3GB disc. I used the camera to copy all the HD files ( .XML ) to an 1TB external drive. Now the drive is readable, everything looks fine, when I select a .XML file. Final Cut Pro HD opens, but then asks to choose a TRANSLATION file. Where do I go from here. I do not understand that command of action it is asking. Newby here, so pity me for awhile.
    Thanks

    my instinct is "No" but thats no (because the app is expecting th efiles to be located on an mounted XDCAM disc that is formated as such) ... but in your situation I'd be inclined to download the XDCAM Transfer app and try for myself
    what you may need to do though is get hold of the discs and a deck and import using the method above
    failing that you have the option of using Flip4Mac's MXF quicktime components ... not cheap.
    this will allow you to select the local XDCAM source media that you've alreday transfered in the native MXF format, and rewrap as Quicktime for editing in FCP
    (a trial version is available for download)
    ... and if thats out of budget, or for whatever reason not an option, you can sit it out and see if the next FCP revision helps you out any with its direct Log and Transfer support for XDCAM. may have the same restrictions though (ie need a properly attached formatted device)
    ... and other than that, you're looking at switching to an NLE with native MXF support (Avid, Edius, Vegas etc)

  • How to import unix executable files into Final Cut Pro

    A friend wanted me to create a Halo 3 Montage Video for him. He loaded the saved clips onto a flash drive for me but when I put it into my computer the information comes up as Unix Executable Files and I don't know how to import them into Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 or if it's even possible. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Ok. Well, I plug in the flash drive. When it opens there's a folder that says XBox360. When I click on the folder there are 9 files listed that say Data0000, Data0001 etc. The preview option shows a gray folder that says Exec on it and the only information I can find is that it's a Unix Executable File. When I click on more info option everything that pops up is what I've already told you. I tried opening it in the VLC Player but nothing played which makes me think there aren't video files on the flash drive. When I click on the file to open it the Terminal Program appears and lists basic information about the file.
    Is there a program that can take these files and covert them into something that can run in Final Cut Pro? Or is that what VLC is supposed to do?
