Hi Kristinkshui,
Welcome to the Support Communities! I’m happy to hear that you liked the Final Cut Pro X software enough to purchase the full version. You will be amazed at all of the things you can do with this creative software!
The full Final Cut Pro X application will recognize the Libraries (and the projects and clips contained in them) that you created with the Trial Version. By default, these libraries are in the Movies folder in your User Account on your Mac, unless you chose an external hard drive to store this data. So, all you should have to do is launch the new Final Cut Pro X application and you should be able to pick up exactly where you left off. Once everything is working with your purchased software, quit Final Cut Pro X, and delete the FCPX Trial by dragging it from the Applications folder to the Trash.
The video below will provide a quick overview of what Final Cut Pro X can do:
Final Cut Pro X: Overview

I'm also including the Online Help Manual for Final Cut Pro X for your reference below:

These additional learning resources may come in handy as well:

I hope this information helps …
Have a great day!

My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5. I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. ???

My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5. I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. How do I get it too recover it without paying for it again since I paid for it already and have projects in progress that need to be completed?

1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
2) Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
a) Pacifist: http://www.charlessoft.com/
b) Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method: http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function. FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.

Like the title says...
I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x. When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it. I need the videos out of there. I have tried every way I can think of.
I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut. I have had no luck.
I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible. I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
Thank You for the Help

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.

Does Final Cut Pro X support all video files as did its prior version Final Cut Pro Studio?

Hi,
Use to have a Mac Pro and had Fina Cut Pro Studio. Now I have just got a new Macbook Pro (Lion), and have just purchased the new Final Cut Pro X from the App store. I am having problems importing 3gps files into FCP X. I never had a problem with the $1000 version of studio. Does the new FCP X have limitations on what video files are compatible with it? do I need to purchase additional plug-ins etc???

Really depends on the specific file type you want to work with. FCP X does not support every single flavor of video FCP 7 did, so it's not a huge surprise if the file you're using is not supported. That said, there's plenty of free third party tools you could use to convert it to a regular QuickTime ProRes file that FCP X would accept. For example- http://www.squared5.com/ would most likely be able to load it. Try and let us know. And if that doesn't work please provide more details about the 3gps file you're using.

HT204382 how to convert movies from flip for use in final cut pro

How do you convert movies from a Flip video camera for use in final cut pro?

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
VisualHub (23.32$)
Drop2DV (free)
Cinematize >60$
Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
Thanks for any ideas.

First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation. I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times. All hard drive will eventually fail. It's a question of when, not if.
I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files. You can try importing these directly into fcp.
If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
or
Magic Bullet Grinder
http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy. HDV is a problematic format. Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

Copying a video from Youtube to use in Final Cut Pro

I have an old final cut pro that I us for charities and non-profits I think it is version 5.1.7. I have never had the money to upgrade and now I do not have any disk or material for the program, only what is on my system. Now the question. I have a charity that has ask me to pull a video off of Youtube that they cannot find the original. What is the best way to copy the video from Youtube and download it to my desktop and get the best quality to use in final cut pro. Thanks for your help.

Just use OSX:
Command - Shift - 3 will take a full screen snapshot
Command - Shift - 4 will let you draw a rectangle around the portion of screen you want to copy
Command - Control - Shift - 3 will copy the full screen to the clipboard (to be pasted in another app)
Command - Control - Shift - 4 will copy a selectable portion of the screen to the clipboard
Preview is set up to receive clipboard images — just select New from Clipboard from the File menu (or command - N). You can then export in a variety of formats.
Most browsers let you right click on an image and select Save Image As... to any location on your hard drive.

How do I import video and sound files from a hard drive into Final Cut Pro X?

I just installed the lastest upgrade to Final Cut Pro X. I have an external hard drive connected to my computer and I want to import video and sound files into Final Cut Pro X- how do I make the transfer?

File>Import Files (Shift-Cmd-I). Select the files, fill out the dialog box that appears as you need.

I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1. Does Sony offer a plug in?

I shoot fishing footage of big catches. Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i. It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab. Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames. Thank you again for your reply.

How do I get from an HD sequence in Final Cut Pro to a regular DVD?

Hi,
I'm finishing my first HD project, and I'm trying to get it onto a normal DVD, and I can't figure out how I should export it out of Final Cut and what settings I should use in DVD studio pro. I need the dvd to play on normal, couple year old dvd players.
Help!
Thanks,
Sarah

You should export a master file from FCP using Current Settings (same as your Timeline) as a Self Contained or Reference movie -Self Contained is preferable as it creates a file that is independent of the source footage and render files.
Bring that into Compressor and choose one of the time based DVD settings that the duration of your movie will fit into. Import the resulting MPEG2 video and AC3 audio files into DVD SP.

How to go back old version final cut pro?

Hi
I recently upgraded my Final cut to new upgrade. My old one was FCP 6. Now it doesn't open and asking me put serial number. My FCP is not eligible for upgrade. ALso it said wrong serial number and doesn't open. How can I go back to old version I had? I have project i m working on I don't know what to do please. I need to go back to FCP 6.
Thank you

Any chance your old FCP is Academic? If so, you cannot upgrade that.
To go back, you need to uninstall FCS (use the FCS uninstaller, do a search in the forum). then reinstall the previous version.

Need help transitioning from trial to purchased version

I started with the trial and then downloaded Aperture from the app store. Now whenever I use Aperture, it says Aperture 3 Trial Library. Did I do something wrong?

That's just the name of your Aperture Library. The Library is a Finder package -- it shows in Finder as a file. Close Aperture, go to Finder, select your Library (it's called "Aperture 3 Trial Library"), and name it anything you'd like. Then double-click it to load Aperture. After that, every time you start Aperture it will load your newly-renamed Library.
Or, if you want to start with a fresh, empty Library, create a new one. When you create it Aperture will ask you to name it.

How can I go from 16x9 to 4x3 in Final Cut Pro X?

I have cropperd my clip to a correct size but I still have the black side bars in the viewer even though I have changed the resolution from the properties to 1280x1080. So how can I get rid of the black boxes in the end result?

Only standard definition is 4:3. There is no 4:3 in HD. What is media?
