QT import into FCP for chapter generation

Can you import a .mov file into FCP to create chapter markers for export.
When I import the .mov file the canvas viewer turns red and locks up.
David

What was the source of the movie? i.e. what format is it? codec used?
You can add chapter markers in FCP...

  • LiveType .ipr won't import into FCP - File type not recognized

    LiveType file is greyed out when trying to import into FCP as a Standard File type. If we change Standard File to All Files we get an error stating, "File Error: 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
    The project and media are on an external FWHD, originally edited on a G5, moved to the G4 FWHD with Media Manager.
    We've trashed FCP preference files, repaired permissions, checked ownership of files on the FWHD, created new LT files on the internal drive to no avail.
    Is it time for a reinstall of FCP Suite?

    This is usually two things: In compatible versions of FCP or a missing element that allows the .ipr files to be imported. I have forgotten what the enabler is but it's obviously working on your G5 or you wouldn't be asking the question. If you create a LT file on your G4, can you import it into FCP on the G$?
    (You can search the forum for similar problems, it comes up about twice a month.)
    That leaves the problem of incompatible copies of FCP. You have not provided that information. FCP is not backwards compatible.

  • Motion animation when imported into FCP comes out as 4:3 instead of 16:9

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a bumper animation for my feature film. I started in Motion 3 created a simple animation and imported into FCP and flagged it for 16:9 but still comes ot as 4:3 when exported to Quicktime. Any ideas as to why?
    Chris

    Set the anamorphic flag. Click on you clip in the FCP timeline or browser and type ⌘9. Check the Anamorphic flag.

  • After effects animation Codec won't import into FCP

    Hi
    I have used After Effects to do a green screen key on some HD 1080i footage.
    I then went to export - quicktime movie - animation
    I understand that the animation codec is the only way to export with an alpha channel so that I can put other footage in after my nice green screen key.
    I set quality to best and frame rate to 25, I also tried frame rate as current and it exports and plays back fine in quicktime movie player, but won't import into final Cut.
    The error message is "wrong frame rate"
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I am quite new to after effects and wonder if there is something wrong with the way it is seeing the footage as I shot in widescreen and the image is squeezed as for a 4:3 TV aspect ratio.
    Thanks.
    Ajay

    1. Check your AE composition settings (cmd-k) and be sure your frame rate is set to 25... AE uses the frane rate of your composition and not the settings in your export module...
    2. Do not use the "export" command in AE... that is used only for special purposes only (i.e. for using "quicktime exporto compnents" not available under the export queue)...
    3. use the "make movie" or "add to export queue" command instead
    4. You expot module should be set as:
    - best settings
    - animation + alpha
    do not specify any frame rate in the export module!! AE automatically uses the frame rate in your composition settings!!
    5. Export and import into fcp...
    I never had problems with AE animation+alpha and fcp 6.0.1

  • Creating animations that will import into FCP

    What are some program options for creating and manipulating objects like squares, rectangles and circles that will be used for creating animations to be imported into protions of FCP projects. The final output will be DVD's. Director MX2004 works very well for creating the animations, however when converted to a QT movie and imported into FCP, the animations look like a copy of a VHS tape. (Export settings were component video.) The animations are not acceptable when viewed on both a TV and NTSC monitor. Is anyone successfully using Director for such an application? I would certainally appreciate any suggestions.

    I agree about the material that is coming out of Director being the problem.
    The fundamental questions is "is Director capable of this kind of output?"?? I was hoping someone would tell me "this is how I did it" or "It is impossible using Director". All I know is there was some animation from Director in at least top movie a couple of years--I don't remember its name. So someone was able to get animation out of Director good enough for the film industry!
    As for other questions you posed. The vector graphics I need can be created and manipulated as I need in Director. The whole project could be done in Director and outputed as a cross platform "projector" from a Mac or PC version of Director. However, there some issues with keeping things "in time" using Director. Using Director for the whole project is "plan B".
    With regards to your other questions. In short, I want to animate some very detaliled shop type activities that are hard to video and understand. The animations will compliment the video and will show/simplify concepts needed to learn particular shop skills.
    I want to make and market a series of DVD on these shop activites. Yes I know it is not a small project. I have been working on problems relating to everything from copyrighting to the insurance/liability aspects for several years. I also have the hardware & software to make DVD "demos" and examples to "show and tell". Now I need some help getting the stuff to do what I want/need!
    FCP is the best option for "putting together" audio, video and amimation before making a DVD.
    Thank you for your input.

  • Streamclip files wont import into FCP

    I used a program called Streamclip to turn my movie into an MOV file. But it wont import into FCP 6. Are there any specific codecs I should be using?

    Use the codecs that you find in the FCP easy set ups.
    Those are editing formats.
    My guess is that you want export to QuickTime NTSC DV 720x480, 29.97, aiff audio.
    MOV means nothing; it is a container for the codec you selected.

  • Motion project imported into FCP looks different...

    I have a Motion project that moves 17 magazine covers across a background. When I preview it in Motion it looks great, but when I import it into FCP the mags overlap and run into each other. What could be happening during import and is there a fix??

    I'm posting in response to my own question because this may actually be a bug. When I import the Motion project into FCP with the Motion layers locked, the animation is altered. When I go back into Motion and unlock all the layers and import into FCP, the animation is perfect. No kidding, locked tracks and the animation is funky, unlocked and it's fine. Anyone ever stumble on this??

  • Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp.  When I import into apps for editing they are out of order.  What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

    Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp.  When I import into apps for editing they are out of order.  What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

    The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
    The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.

  • PSD Logo stretches when imported into FCP

    I began work on a project awhile back and I am finally returning to it. In a previous thread I was explained how PSD and EPS files work and don't work in FCP. It was very helpful. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4144809&#4144809)
    However, I've just noticed that all my PSD logos have stretched out horizontally and they have that lovely fat (incorrect) look to it. The original PSD files in PS looked fine after some tweaking, but as I said, the stretching only appeared once imported into FCP.
    Any thoughts? Many thanks.

    Hi:

  • M4V clip won't import into FCP

    I'm trying to import an M4V file into FCP, but it wont. Is there anyway to turn it into a Quicktime file or some other format?

    I had the same problem. Frustrating. I fixed it by pulling the video into Compressor and changing it to an Apple ProRes422 codec. That works fine for FCP. I wish it would handle the file directly like Premier, but at least this works. Good luck.

  • Paid job: convert .stl file into .xml to import into FCP. Anyone?

    I need someone to convert my two .stl files (subtitles) exported from DVD SP and convert them into files (.xml?) compatible with Final Cut Pro. I need to Import these files into FCP and burn a Quicktime file with subtitles.
    I can pay someone (not millions!) to do this, since I have no clue and anything I was suggested doesn't work.
    Thanks
    Paula

    Can anyone help me?
    I absolutely need to import the subtitles into Final Cut and re-writing all of them manually would take forever.
    Please let me know if there is any program I need to use.
    Thanks for all tips

  • What resolution do still photos have to be to be imported into FCP X

    I am using stills in a video.  What resolution and what dimensions do they have to be before importing them into FCP X?

    SSpatial conform sets how the media is sized when placed in a project. The help files and manual will the explain the details.
    Sill till images are not video. They need to be rendered for true video playback. Set playback to best quality rather than better performance.

  • How do I get DVD files into FCP for editing?

    #7 DVD into FCP
    Shane's Stock Answer #7:
    To start, I will state that trying to capture any DVD you bought or rented, be it a Hollywood movie or exersize video, is illegal. I will not give you any tips on how to bypass copy protection. It is there for a reason.
    To capture footage from a DVD, you have a couple options.
    1) Route the DVD player to your DV camera or deck via the RCA cabling. Then you can put the footage you want ontp DV tape and have the benefit of timecode in case the need to recapture comes up.
    2) You can get a great application called DVDxDV (Google it). This opens up the DVD and allows you to convert the video to DV/NTSC footage. And it allows you to only convert what you want by allowing you to mark in and out points. The free version puts a big watermark across the center of your footage, but if you pay $25 for the standard version, that goes away.
    Or you can use Mac the Ripper or Mpeg Stream clip. These are free.

  • Canon Vixia HF10 and importing into FCP

    Can anyone tell me how to import from the Canon Vixia HF10's internal memory into FCP? It seems that there is only a USB connector on the camera and FCP only supports Firewire. Any suggestions?

    Dear Jerry,
    I have the same issue. Just got the camera. I can copy the "private" folder which contains all the information which I believe is based on .MTS type files.
    I was hoping that I could somehow just load these clips in directly as I used to use a canon miniDV which required me to play the entire clips.
    I have mpegstreamclip but am not too familiar. Is there any other way other than having to convert each and every clip?
    Thanks so much for any advice you can give me.
