Add font library to Final Cut Pro X

How can you import a new font library in to Final Cut Pro X?

Im trying to figure out how to do that. Can I not add too existing generators? I can open the file in motion and I see all the different textures from apple. But I dont know how to or if I can add my own textures to it.

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.

HT203477 Why does my computer quit unexpectedly when I click on "Show the Project Library" in Final Cut Pro X ?

Hello,
When I click on "Show the Project Library" on Final Cut Pro X program, my computer unexpectedly quits.
I just purchased an iMac 27in screen, (16G Ram) and all the features suggested by the Apple representative to run Final Cut Pro X.
The program was working well for about a week. Afterward, I downloaded all my iMovie projects. I'm wondering if that has created this problem.
Any suggestions as to what the solution might be? Thanks.

Over the year I've used FCPX, it' s gone through "spells" where specific actions would crash it - much as you describe. Trashing preferences has nearly always fixed things. Several times, when it did not, I reinstalled the app.
However, I've never imported an iMovie project so I can't give any first hand advice. It will be interesting to see whether FCPX opens if it doesn't see those projects. (per Tom Wolsky's advice.)

Migrate the whole iMovie 10.0.3 library to Final Cut Pro 10.1.1

Is there any way to migrate the whole iMovie 10.0.3 library to Final Cut Pro 10.1.1?
I know we can use "Send project to Final Cut Pro" function from iMovie but it works for a selected project only, not the whole event library with structure.

Thanks for your confirmation! It seems to me this is the situation after tons of research.....
I really don't understand Apple's logic/philosophy now.... in the new iMovie... it takes out the keywords which is extremely important to anyone with many clips. I don't mind to pay for the expensive FCPX but I am told that FCPX cannot migrate the iMovie library..... sigh....... what **** they are thinking....
BTW, it seems the "Send project to Final Cut Pro" function doesn't support sending even the "Event". It supports only sending project with the clips associated with the project. There is no way to send the clip without associated to project. Anyone can confirm it?

Title Font Size in Final Cut Pro 6 for exhibition on movie theater sized screen

When editing a documentary and creating title cards (that play as part of the movie - text center of screen on black b.g.), lower thirds identifying speakers, and end credits (both single card and scrolling) are there some standard fonts and font sizes people use so the end result will not look too large when projected on a movie screen?
The titles are all from Final Cut Pro (a few from the Boris plug-in for FCP6) and there are no titles that move or that are created in Motion.
I will be able to make additional edits with the fonts sized for tv, streaming, DVD distribution etc. if I'm lucky enough to end up needing those as well.
Thanks!

If the titling is properly composed for the frame size, it will look correct when projected. That is, if it looks font is legible and in decent proportion in your 1080 timeline, it's not important whether the display is 30 inches or 45 feet; the proportion will not change.
In terms of font selection, medium or bold sans-serif fonts work well on all screens. "Plain" fonts like Helvetica, Ariel, or Lucinda tend to work better than the more stylized fonts, but if style is part oif your message, be my guest...
hope this helps

Scrambled font output in Final Cut Pro 5.0.4

Hi all,
I'm using Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 in Mac OS 10.4.3 on a 2005 Dual 2.7 Ghz G5 with 1.5 Ghz of RAM.
When I use certain fonts (for example, Apple's Hoefler Text) in any of FCP 5's text filters, the text appears scrambled. Either the material appears in the wrong font (I think it's Apple's "LastResort" font) or it's the symbol/dingbat version of the font. The scrambled output obeys my commands about italic, bold etc. but it's still the wrong font. With other fonts, the correct font is not selected from within the font "family"; I'll choose "Roman" and get italic and then chose "italic" and get an artificially bent-over "false" italic that's obviously the italic font canted to one side.
I've tried fixing permissions, switching to different versions of the Apple fonts (from previous system install discs), deleting FCP's preferences, deleting FCP's multiple font caches. Nothing works. The same fonts look fine in TextEdit and other applications.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Reconnect the offline media and life should be good.
Still, the best solution is for everyone involved with the project to be using the same version of FCP/Color.

How to add shot index in Final Cut Pro easily?

Hi, everyone,
I'm working on an animatic in final cut pro, and I wanna numbering every shots in it. currently this is a painful job, I have to drag a text field on top of every shot, type the number, adjust the length.......
Is there any other easier way to achieve this? all I need is a simple index number that will do the job automatically according to every shot(cut)?
Please suggest.

What's the source of the material?
If individual files, why not name them using your convention before you bring them into FCP?

Font Families in Final Cut Pro not recognized

I was curious if there was a way to allow entire font families to appear in the text tool in Final Cut. Currently only the name of the family shows up and when it is seleced Final Cut seems to arbitrarily choose one of the fonts from the family to display. I have tried this with OpenType, PostScript, and TrueType fonts, and all of them have this same problem. I am also sure that the fonts are installed correctly, as they all show up without a problem in every other problem. In addition, I have tried it on multiple machines and all have the same issue. I have also tried computers with fpc4, fpc4.5, and fpc5, along with a variety of fonts.
Is this just something that final cut does not let you do? is there any way around this other than making titles in an outside program and bringing them in as jpgs or the like.
any help would be great
Thanks,
Tim

For copy-protection reasons, DVDs (the video ones) have a regional "code" - for example, North America is region 1, and Europe is 2 (grosso modo). Computers for the most part ignore this, but common DVD players don't - so a region 1 player refuses to play region 2 discs, etc.
In old times, I remember that DVD drives that came with Macs were set to some region (presumably according to where they were bought), and there was a way to change it, but you were limited to some 5 changes, after which the drive would be locked at whatever "region" it was in. I don't remember how that region was changed, but it does look like the region associated with the DVD drive in your mac did indeed change, so as to make it different from your local one.

How do I delete a Library from Final Cut Pro 10.1?

I created a new Library in FCP 10.1 but now I can't delete it (option to delete it in the menu is grayed out). I know you have to have at least one Library but there is another Library so that isn't the problem. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Paul

No, Libraries are independent little universes, all unto themselves. They operate at the Finder level only. This allows you to duplicate, and copy them in the Finder, without the database UUID conflict we had with Events and Projects beofore. That was why that function was inside FCP X, so it could duplicate and copy things, and be sure to assign them unique UUID numbers internally. That is not an issue now, FCP should bow out of the process.
But I can see how it would be slick to have a Library "Move to Trash" function. It would make me nervous. Who knows, it may be coming.
Either way, once you get the hang of it, you'll learn it is a really easy, very flexible system.

HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

I can't open my Final Cut Pro anymore...

Hi, I haven't been using final cut pro on my mac for a while and when I recently tried to open it, it didn't open and told me that "One or more of the scratch disks that I have specified does not have read/write access"... What does this mean?

If you don't get a dialog box during start-up to reset your scratch disks as Todd mentioned. Navigate to Users/~You~/Library/Preferences and delete the following file:
     com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
Then navigate to Users/~You~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data and delete these three files:
     Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs
     Final Cut Pro Obj Cache
     Final Cut Pro Prof Cache
This will reset you preferences to their defaults and hopefully get you up and running.

Final Cut Pro: Convert Event to QT Movie

I imported my iMovie Event Library into Final Cut Pro. I woud like to convert one of the events in the library now in Final Cut Pro to a quicktime movie. How do I do so?

skalin wrote:
I do have one more question.
The way I am "exporting" a project from Final Cut Pro to a Quicktime movie is File->Share->Master File. Is that the best way to create a QT Movie from a project?
This is a good way to export. Note that when exporting as a Master File you can choose which codec to use.
For keeping the maximum quality in case you ever need to reimport and reedit, use ProRes 422 - but note this creates huge files that most people cannot play unless they have the "ProRes" codecs (which are installed with FCP X's additional download).
For a smaller file which you can share with anyone else, use H264.
Am I correct that the QT movie file created is not "linked" in any way to the Final Cut Pro Project (i.e., if you delete the Project) nothing will happen to the QT movie?
Yes, you are correct. The result of the export is a self-contained Quicktime file which is completely separate from the project from which it was generated.

Re: Trash and Restore FCP 6 Preference Files
by Alan Smith on Sep 18, 2008 at 8:20:00 am
There are four files to trash when trying to trash the preferences.
workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data>Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs
workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data>Final Cut ProObj Cache
workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data>Final Cut ProProf Cache
When you delete these files and restart FCP each of these will be rebuilt.

Final Cut Pro crashes during load screen.

When I open FCP, the loading screen comes on. During the loading, FCP closes. There is no error message.
I have already tried the two solutions posted as announcements on the top of the FCP forum:
1. I have deleted unnecessary Quicktime components from (Library>Quicktime).
2. I have downloaded the most recent software update.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have,
Jonah
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) the whole Final Cut Studio is installed

A solution from an earlier post solved my problem. I deleted the Final Cut Pro preferences ("Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs") (MAC HD> Library> Preferences> Final Cut Pro User Data). FCP opens now.
Here's the post where I found the solution:
