Plugins for Final Cut Pro X

It looks like Final Cut Pro X does not support import or export of FCXML. My company wrote a plugin that appears under the import,export menu using a Final Cut Pro provate API we had to sign an NDA for.
We now need to rewrite for Final Cut Pro X. Who can we contact to answer our questions?
ps: I'm part of both the Mac and iOS developer programs yet I don't see any forums or developer information for this...
best,
Tuviah

no it was another plugin API that I got from Apple to develop plugins such as the one by YouSendIt, or EVS, or Automated Duck which allows adding a menu item to the FCP import and export menus.
Unfortunately the Apple contacts we had 3 years ago, such as Adam Green, who gave us these APIs no longer work there or are not responding.
I've actually tried using my technical incidents to get answers but keep getting told that I need to ask the final cut pro team without so much as an email or other link.
so I'm REALLY REALLY hoping someone at Apple is monitoring this list and can help out. Or perhaps another plugin developer.
I would think Apple would want to make it easy for 3rd parties to integrate..

    Does anybody know how to install the Flash Video Exporter
    plugin for Final Cut Pro so it shows up as an option in FCP?
    I want to create FLVs directly from FCP.
    Thanks

    This is on the intro page:
    Note: You must have Flash MX Professional 2004 installed on
    your machine to use the Flash Video Exporter with your video
    editing application. The only exception is using the exporter in

  • I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project.  Can Apple Motion 4 remove wires/rig?  Are there any rig removal plugins for final cut pro?   Thanks!

    I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project.  Can Apple Motion 4 remove them?  If not can anyone recomment any plugins for Final Cut Pro or Motion that can remove them.  Thanks!!

    In Motion 5 there is a plugin from CoreMelt called "SliceX" that does this.  But I don't know anything in Motion 4 that will do it.  You may get more help posting in the appropriate "Final Cut Studio" section of this forum.

  • Writing an Audio plugin for Final Cut Pro

    Hi all
    There doesnt seem to be much info out there about writing plugins for FCP... I've looked at FXBuilder and FXScript, but they only seem to deal with video. I want to write a plugin that will normalize all of the clips on my timeline (I know normalizing is a sin to some audiophiles, but there are situations where I dont have time to take everything into Pro Tools or Soundtrack Pro and just need reasonable levels across an entire project). So my question is, would I need to write a plugin for FCP specifically and if so, is there an SDK or sample code somewhere, or should I write this as an Audio Unit plugin and if so, where do I start? Any help or advice would be appreciated
    cheers

    I'd think that the ADC is where you should start... (Apple Develeopers connection) http://developer.apple.com/ Might find the SDK you need there.
    Also Joe at Joe's filters or Graeme Nattress might be of help. Great guys both...

  • How to install plugins into final cut pro 7

    A friend of mine sent me some free plugins for Final Cut Pro 7. How do I get the plugins into Final Cut Pro 7? Clicking and dragging obviously doesn't work.

    You do NOT need Motion in order to use those transitions, effects, etc.!
    You only need it if you want to edit or create new such things.

  • Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro Now Available...

    There's been so much talk about the 5D, 7D, 550D on this board that I'm going to point to the EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro. This is supposed to speed to transcode of Canon Camera H.264 to FCP-friendly formats and let you add more metadata along the way.
    Enjoy!
    Canon webpage. Under Drivers & Downloads. Once you select your OS, "Mac OS X", the download should appear near the top of the "Software" list.
    Note: (from Quickstart Guide)
    This plug-in software allows you to convert MOV movies shot with an EOS Digital camera into ProRes files at high speed in the (Log & Transfer) window of Apple's Final Cut Pro.
    FWIW: The quick start guide says cameras involved are 7D, 5D, 1D, no mention of 550D. Sort of odd.

    For users in North America to make the Canon EOS REBEL T2i work (550D for Europe):
    1. Install the new Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...nloadDetailAct)
    2. Go to Library/Application Support/ProApps/MIO/RAD/Plugins/CanonE1.RADPLug/Contents/Resources/
    2. Open up cameras.plist
    3. After the 7D info add the following lines of code (keeping to the coding structure):
    <key>T2i</key>
    <array>
    <string>Canon EOS REBEL T2i</string>
    </array>
    4. Save the text file. Close it. Everything should work now.
    Cheerz.

  • Problems with Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro

    After about two weeks of using the Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro, I've found some clips are cut short when they are transcoded to Prores and appear in the browser. Has anyone else had this happen?

    Yes, just started using this and noticed pretty soon afterwards. Seems to happen when I start clicking around or doing anything that uses the processor more than just surfing the web, but that's just anecdotal. I immediately stopped and started using MPEG Streamclip, but I really want the timecode.
    Most recently, I had Log and Transfer open, transcoding some 7D footage, and a few of the clips didn't come in—they were left with the red stop-sign symbol/exclamation point. When I clicked to "retry," it stopped importing the current clip and started on the clip I retried. I clicked "retry" on another unimported clip, and again, the clip import stopped and the new clip began processing. I let it go through and, after the checking the footage, I discovered it had been incorrectly named the first clip's filename! Needless to say, I hand-checked every file to make sure it was the right duration (a few weren't), deleted the files from the Capture Scratch folder, and reimported—making sure I didn't touch the computer.
    I hope they fix this bug, whatever it is.
    BTW, I've experienced it on two separate Mac Pros.

  • New Canon EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro

    Just thought your would like to know. From canonrumors.com
    http://www.canonrumors.com/2011/04/canon-updates-e1-plugin-for-fcp/
    Canon today announces the latest update for EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro – the company’s custom-developed software application that provides quicker and easier editing of EOS Movie footage in Apple’s Final Cut Pro software suite.
    Launching to coincide with the start of the 2011 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will make the importing of EOS Movie files even easier, allowing users to transfer files from any folder, without needing to mirror the folder structure on the camera itself.
    The update also enables smoother importing from Canon’s EOS 7D, EOS 5D Mark II and EOS-1D Mark IV models, allowing users to import footage without requiring the THM file generated by the camera.
    Originally launched in February 2010, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro is designed to quickly and seamlessly convert EOS Movie footage from Canon’s leading range of EOS DSLR cameras to Apple’s high-quality ProRes 422 codec. The plug-in allows users to convert footage at approximately twice the speed of Apple’s standard conversion, creating a smoother workflow for the rapidly growing number of videographers shooting HD video content on DSLR cameras.
    EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will be available to download for free from 25th April 2011.

    And I just spent over an hour yesterday explaining to a client how utterly essential it was to maintain the exact folder structure for proper log & transfer:/
    If I say that once a day to students, I say it a thousand times.
    On top of that I just started Carbon Copy Clone today with all my updates in my editing lab. Not the end of the world but it's a little time consuming on 80 stations. Oh well.

  • Using Waves audio plugins in Final Cut Pro

    Does anyon know how to use presets for Waves plugins in Final Cut Pro. The plugins show up, but don't have the graphical interface or the ability to apply presets (to my knowledge) maybe there is a workaround?
    otherwise can anyone reccomend a good workflow possibly with soundtrack?
    Thanks.
    BZ.

    Real? You mean as in Real Player? Those don't work in FCP...they aren't an editable format.
    Mac the Ripper? This converts DVDs to Real movies?
    Google MPEG STREAMCLIP. It decodes MPEG-2 files into DV and a more workable format.
    And also look into DVDxDV. It can convert NON-COPYPROTECTED footage to an editable one.

  • What other programs are for Finale Cut Pro

    What other programs are for Finale Cut Pro?
    Like added transisions and such.

    Start out here where you'll find tons of top quality FREE plugins made by some very creative folks.
    http://www.fcp.co/forum/9-free-fcpx-plugins-and-templates
    The only "must-have" plugins I'd recommd are "Slice X" by CoreMelt, and "Nattress Levels & Curves" from Noise Industries (FX Factory).
    Everything else is just eye candy.
    I advise my students to not buy plugin until you actually need them for a paying job, and have that work pay for it.

  • Can I add a secondary location for Final Cut Pro Documents?

    Hi Guys,
    I'm working on a large project which has taken up most of my 2tb hard drive which I use for my final cut pro documents (capture scratch, render files etc). Is it possible if I plug in another hard drive to use that as a secondary location for final cut pro documents as I have other (smaller) projects which I could be uploading and working on in the mean time? If so, how is this achieved and what are the pros / cons?

    Sure -- go to Final Cut Pro menu on your menu bar and select System Settings.
    The first tab is SCRATCH DISKS -- that's the term too -- not secondary folder for FCP Documents.
    Change it there.
    Drawbacks...
    It has been a while since I've had to deal with this, but FCP used to not remember (feature or bug??) a project's original scratch disk location and if you change it for ONE project it will be changed for ALL future AND past projects... until you change it back.
    Now, that in itself isn't a BAD thing. All that that means is that if you continue to capture material into that old project it will now put it over here instead of over there. Also, other things like render files and such which won't really matter much unless they do... and now you've got stuff spread over a coupla drives.
    FCP's projects don't care. They've already mapped where they need to go to get the video and render files it needs. Move your Scratch Disk 33 times... won't make a difference to the browser and timeline. -- UNTIL you remove one of the important drives. THEN red lines galore! Un renders, missing files... messy messy messy!
    Much better to start and finish a project in scratch disk. Makes for easy cleanup. Kinda like cooking thanksgiving dinner (American??) in 5 houses at once.
    Good luck,

  • Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro

    I'm sure you've seen this before and I've tried to search for a thread on it here and fell asleep, so sorry if this is a repeat.
    I have edited projects in Premiere Pro (on my PC) and I have tried to transfer them in FCP. It worked with the exception of two things:
    1. the error message, "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro"
    2. the quality *****! watching it on the playback in FCP it looks great, but then when I burn it to Disc it's pixelated in spots and generally has a lower quality picture.
    I know that it's Standard Def. and can't expect the best, but I've done it before (once or twice) and it didn't seem this bad.
    Can someone suggest anything to help the quality? Should I run my AVIs through MPEG Steamclip to make it a QT file and if so what is the best format in that since there are many to choose from and most I'm not familiar with?
    Thank you,
    Crayton

    I did compress them to DV NTSC then burned it to DVD and the result was no bueno.
    I thought what I would do is try compressing them again before I send them on over to DVDSPRO. Here is a simplified break down of the situation:
    - I have edited the raw footage in Premiere Pro on my PC. They were recorded and captured as SD.
    - I rendered them in Premiere, then transfered the rendered AVI file to FCP.
    - When went to place the files in FCP, I received the warning message; "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro" but I went forward anyways and it allowed me to do so.
    - Originally I went ahead and compressed them from FCP to QT Movie as a DV NTSC, which ended up poorly.
    - Therefore my question is, should I compress them using another file type (other then DV NTSC)? Which leads me to another program that I have called MPEG Streamclip, which offers tons of file types of which I am unfamiliar with most. I want the best quality of course but don't know what file type is the highest going from AVI to a format that can be accepted by FCP and ultimately DVDSPRO. Keeping in mind that I only have FCP5 and do not have Prores.
    Did that make sense?
    Thank you again,
    Crayton
