Adding hyperlinks in final cut

hola amigos.
i'm trying to add a hyperlink at the end of a video using final cut 5.1.4
i created a text window and typed it out the link
http://ga6.org/campaign/whereisplanb/
but it is no hyperlink.
please help. please? help?
[email protected]
mercy.

To create a simple link, create a qttext file.
For example the following would create a link to download QuickTime:
{QTtext}{font:Courier}{bold}{size:18}{textColor: 0,0,0} {justify:center}{backColor: 65535, 65535, 65535}{timeScale:30}{width: 400}{height:80}{timeStamps:absolute}{language:0}{textEncoding:0}
[00:00:00.00]
This movie requires QuickTime 7.
Click {HREF:A<http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/> T<_blank>}here {endHREF} to download QuickTime.
[00:00:00.02]
Open the text file with QuickTime Player. Use Edit -> Select All, Edit -> Copy. Open your target movie. Make a selection of frames where you want the url to appear. The use Edit -> Add to Selection & Scale. You can change the position from the Movie Properties Window - > text track name -> Visual Settings tab.
if you want to look into software for this kind of thing then you might take a look at LiveStagePro
while you're about it, you may want to take at look at this overview

Adding text to Final cut ?!

Being new to Final cut im finding it hard to add text. In final cut I make the desired text i want. I then get rid of the wireframe and change it to image. I then click and drag the image across into the superimpose box. When i do this it puts the text behind the clip and doesn't overlay it ?
Any advice would be very helpful.
Thanks Chris

I suspect that there's user error involved here, but there are many ways to skin the proverbial cat in fcp. Try dragging the text clip to a higher video track in the timeline (rather than in the canvas). If you work this way, the in point in the timeline is determined where you drag it to and the duration is determined by the in and out in the viewer.
You can also set your timeline patch panel correctly and use the f9 or f10 key to make the edit.

Adding jpegs to final cut express

Hi,
I'm not sure what easy setup I should use for my jpegs. The jpeg frame size is 3456 x 2592. My video easy setup is 1440 x 1080 HD/Apple Intermediate Codec/ 29.97 fps. The jpegs are not filling up the canvas. Thank you very much!

If you have a lot of identical sized pictures and you don't mind losing a bit from the top and bottom you can speed up the process like this:-
1. Drag all the jpegs to the timeline.
2. Select the first and adjust it in the Motion tab.
3. Click cmd v to copy it.
4. Deselect it and select all the others.
5. Press Option v to open the Paste Attributes window.
6. Select Basic Motion and press OK.
All the images will now be the same size and shape.

Workflow/Sending to Final Cut

I have been working on a 720P DVCPRO project. I am not sure what the work flow should be for adding in your color correcting stage.
I have edited my project with speed ramps and different effects within Final Cut 6.02. When I rendered my files from Color after making a color correct, I then sent it back to Final Cut.
Once I opened the timeline that color added to my final cut project, All of my transitions were replaced with straight cuts. Also the speed ramps were gone.
Should this be expected? If so how should I be working on the color correcting stage?
What is the best way to do this?
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Jesse

Preparing Your Sequence for Color Correction
Before you bring your project to me for color correction, there are a few things you can do to prepare your project in so we can get started more quickly, saving yourself some money in the process. On the other hand, if you're not comfortable going through any of these steps, I can do them prior to the actual color correction session.
Move All Clips That Aren’t Being Composited to Track V1
Editors often use multiple tracks of video to assemble scenes, taking advantage of the track ordering rules in Final Cut Pro to determine which clips are currently visible. On the other hand, it’s faster, easier, and less ambiguous for the colorist (me) to navigate and work on a project that has all its clips on a single video track.
For this reason, please move all video clips that aren’t superimposed as part of a compositing operation down to track V1, as shown in the following screenshots. If two or more clips are superimposed as an effect, by all means leave it be, and I can color correct each layer as necessary.
Unprepared Timeline Prepared Timeline
Tip—if you hold the Shift key down while you drag clips up and down in the Timeline, you'll lock their position in time so you don't inadvertently move the clips out of sync with the audio. Furthermore, if you don't want to change the track order of audio items that are linked to the video clips you're moving, you can turn off Linked Selection. This lets you move video items without also moving their audio.
Remove All Non-Essential Filters From the Clips in your Sequence
It's often difficult for me to distinguish between temporary effects that I'll need to replace, and permanent effects that you want to preserve. For this reason, if you've created any temporary color corrections during the offline phase of your edit, please remove these from your sequence before bringing it in.
If you feel that these filters are a useful reference for the direction you'll want me to take, then make a duplicate of your edited sequence to back it up before you start cleaning it up, and name it "Sequence Name- Reference Copy." That way, I can always open up the original state of your program to take a look at what was done previously.
Please note, I'm only talking about color corrections that were done during the offline edit. It's not necessary to remove every filter in your program. By all means, retain any and all filters that are currently used to create effects that are integral to your program.
Place Timeline Markers at Scene Beginnings, Effects, and Problem Areas
A completely optional step, but one that can save time during the session, is to take the time to place Timeline markers with scene names or numbers at the first edit of each scene in your project. This makes navigation extremely fast, and removes any ambiguity when you ask me to go to a particular scene.
Also, if there are effects shots in the project, either done in Final Cut or created in another application, please place markers to identify these as well named "FX - Description" in the Timeline for each effect.
Lastly, if there are problem shots or scenes that you know will need special attention, place markers named "Problem - Name Of Problem" in the Timeline for each issue in the sequence. This speeds the session, and also provides me with some guidance in unsupervised sessions.
Bring Third Party Filters That Are Used in the Project
If your project uses third party FXscript filters that you've installed for use with Final Cut Pro, those are saved along with the project file. On the other hand, if your project uses third party After Effects or FxPlug filters (such as those used by Motion), you will need to bring those filters to me along with your other project and media files.
Tip—If you have the time, it's often helpful if you can place a marker in the Timeline (not in the clip) calling such effects to my attention.
Bring All Fonts Used by Text Generators, LiveType, and Motion Project Titles
While most color-correction sessions don't involve motion graphics work (although some do), it's still good for me to be able to view your project as it's supposed to appear. The color and placement of superimposed titles sometimes necessitates changes to the color correction of the clip underneath. Also, if you need me to render a version of your program that includes the titles, I'll need to have the fonts.
Tip—After color correction, I recommend having rendering at least one version of your program as a textless master. This lets you redo your titles at any time without having to re-render the entire program.
Preparing Your Media for Color Correction
If your project and all its media fits on a single portable hard drive, it may not be necessary to use the media manager, you can just copy all your files and folders to the hard drive. If it doesn't, it's a good idea to consolidate your project's media in order to make it more portable.
Media Manage Your Project
It's best to eliminate unused media to save drive space (especially if you’ll be recapturing uncompressed media), and consolidate all the source media used by your project into a single directory for easy transport and relinking. This is also a good step to take prior to recapturing your media, if necessary.
The safest way to do this using the Media Manager is to use the following options:
1. Which option you choose from the "media referenced by selected sequence" pop-up menu depends on whether or not your source media needs to be recaptured.
* If your media is already at its highest quality and you don't need to recapture it, then choose Copy. This safely duplicates the media used by your project onto another hard drive (which you choose using the Browse button in the Media Destination section near the bottom of this window), while leaving your original media untouched.
* If your media needs to be recaptured (see the next section), then choose Create Offline. This creates an offline version of your sequence, ready for the recapture process.
2. Turn off Include master clips outside selection. This saves space.
3. Turn on Delete unused media from selected sequence.
4. Turn on Use Handles, leaving the handles duration field at the default of 1 second, just in case you need any last-minute editorial tweaks.
5. Turn on Duplicate selected sequence and place into a new project. This further protects you by saving all changes to a duplicate project file, which is also saved in the directory you choose with the Browse button.
6. Turn off Include affiliate clips outside selection. This saves more space.
7. If this is a multi-camera edit, turn off Include nonactive multiclip angles if you've locked your edit. This will significantly reduce the amount of hard drive space you need to transport your project.
8. If you're using the Copy option, click the Browse button to choose the external hard drive to which you want to copy the media.
The following screenshot shows the Media Manager set up to copy preexisting media.
Media Manager Setup
Once you've media managed your project and copied all the files to your portable hard drive, it's a good idea to unmount the hard drive containing the original media, and then try opening up the newly copied project and media from your portable hard drive. This lets you check to make sure you've got everything, and that all the files relink to the project properly.
Recapture Your Source Media (If Necessary) at the Highest Quality
For the best results, it’s essential to use media that has been captured at the highest possible quality. If you’re following an offline/online workflow where you captured the source media at low quality in order to save hard drive space, you’ll need to recapture that media at its highest original quality. This is not to say that you need to recapture everything using the 10-bit Uncompressed 4:2:2 codec if it was originally shot using a compressed format.
For example, if you’re working on a program that was shot on NTSC DV tape but that was originally captured and edited with the OfflineRT format, you need only recapture the source media at its original resolution and format using the DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec. Likewise, DVCPRO 50, HDV, DVCPRO HD, IMX, and HDCAM HD (35 Mb/sec VBR) are all suitable video formats for beginning the color correction process using their native codecs.
Here's why. In either Final Cut Pro or Color, image data from supported compressed formats is decompressed at the beginning of the image processing pipeline, with all the internal image processing performed on uncompressed data. During rendering, the corrected, internally uncompressed image can be written straight to disk as an uncompressed file. In essence, the rendering process upconverts your program at the same time it processes your color corrections, preserving maximum image quality.
On the other hand, if you’re working with media that's in an analog or digital mastering format such as Betacam SP, Digital Betacam, or D-5, you’ll want to capture it using the 10-bit Uncompressed 4:2:2 codec if you want your media to be completely uncompressed. On the other hand, to save hard drive space you can now capture your media using Apple's new mastering-quality compressed codecs; ProRes 422 is suitable for capturing and mastering standard definition media, while ProRes 422 (HQ) is suitable for high-definition media.
Render Specific Effects as Self-Contained QuickTime Clips (optional)
(This step pertains only to preparing for a Color session)
If we've discussed your program in advance and you know for a fact that it will be corrected using Color, there's another optional step you can perform to prep your project. Certain types of clips and effects in Final Cut Pro sequences are not supported directly inside of Color, including:
* Still images (such as .tiff and .jpg files with durations greater then one frame)
* Final Cut Pro freeze frame clips
* Final Cut Pro generators
* Motion project files edited into the Timeline
* LiveType project files edited into the Timeline
* FXScript and FxPlug filters (ignored by Color)
* Variable speed effects (linear speed effects like 50% and 200% are fine)
Most of these effects are simply ignored by Color, leaving offline clips in the Color timeline. However, unless they're titles or superimposition effects, usually these clips need to be color corrected along with the rest of the program. For the smoothest Final Cut Pro to Color round trip, it's usually best to render (export) such effects as self-contained QuickTime files, then import them back into your project and edit them back into your Final Cut Pro project to replace the original effect clip in your project.
If you have any questions about this process, don't worry about it. This is a preparatory step that I can take care of. However, if you know what you're doing and you'd like to take care of this yourself, the following is a good workflow:
1. Drag the unsupported clip to track V2 (see 1 in illustration).
2. Solo the auto-select control for track V2 by Option-clicking it (see 2 in illustration).
3. Move the playhead to that clip, and mark the clip for export by pressing X. This sets the sequence In and Out points to match those of the clip (see 3 in illustration).Rendering Unsupported Clips
4. Choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie...
5. When the Save window appears, choose Custom from the Setting pop-up.
6. When the Sequence Preset Editor window appears, choose 10-bit Uncompressed 4:2:2 from the Compressor pop-up menu in the QuickTime Video Settings section, then click OK (despite the window's name, this does not change the original sequence settings).
7. In the Save window, choose a name and location for the new media file, and click Save.
8. When it finishes rendering, reimport the new QuickTime movie back into your project. It's helpful to create a new bin in which to store all of your prerendered clips.
9. Lastly, edit the rendered clip into the gap on track V1 underneath the original clip on track V2.Preparing Sequence 02
After you've rendered all of the unsupported clips in your sequence, you can disable the original superimposed clips in track V2, but leaving them in your sequence makes it easier to locate and rework these effects should you decide you ever need to make a change. Now that the effect has been turned into a QuickTime movie, it can be graded in Color just like any other clip.
Note: Don't forget to bring these rendered clips along with all the other media for your project.
Rendering Speed Effects
Rendering speed effects works a little differently. If you have Final Cut Studio 2, you have the option of rendering clips with linear or variable speed effects in higher quality by sending all such clips to Motion to render using Motion's adaptive image analysis to create smooth slow motion effects. This is highly recommended.

I finished adding my transtions to my timeline. I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

I finished adding my transtions to my timeline. I was having crashing issues so I shut down everything before I rendered the project and now it tells me that the project is unreadable or the file is too new for this version of final cut. What Happened?

What Happened?
No way for us to know. But if your system was crashing, there definitely was a problem. The FCE error message you got normally indicates the FCE project file has been corrupted. This probably happened due to whatever caused your system to crash & shutting down the system.
First, make sure your system is running correctly. Then, use the Finder to navigate to /users/yourusername/Documents/Final Cut Express Documents/Autosave Vault and find the most recent backup copy of your FCE project file. Copy the file to your Final Cut Express Documents folder (copy the file, don't just move it). Then double-click the copy to open it in FCE. It should open ok, but will probably not have your most recent edits (transitions). You may have to rebuild the transitions, but at least you will be back in action.

Final Cut Pro X crashes when adding transitions, throughout the entire program.

I've had FCP X installed for a few weeks now, and I decided to hold back asking my question and see if anybody else is experiencing the same problems.
I did find one matching problem on the discussions forum, but the user found a solution which I tried, and did it did not work.
Everytime I try to add a very simple transition to my video in Final Cut Pro X, it gives me the spinning colorwheel, hesitates for a few seconds and then crashes.
It only does it with transitions, I can add effects, adjust color, etc. but only when adding transitions does it crash.
I've tried deleting events and original media, I've reimported using optimized media, I've tried both ways of keeping files in original locations and also copying to final cut events folder.
The video I'm using is full 1080p mov files from a Canon 5D Mark II.
It does it in the timeline as well as the secondary timeline.
I've tried the solution that the previous asker did, which was copying the content to another FCP event, and it didn't work for me. Still crashes whether I try to drag the transition to my timeline, use the keyboard shortcut, or double click.
I have a Early 2010 15 inch MBP i5 with 8gb of RAM running newest version of Snow Leopard.
Hope I've provided enough information
Thanks,
-Jon

Final cut bug, interlacing when adding transitions

Hello
So I have been experiencing a problem in final cut pro 6 when generating a timeline using motion jpeg A and using transitions that all clips end up looking interlaced. The fields in the sequence settings are set to non and all the settings are at high quality. All preferences and settings have been checked a hundred times over. Even soemtimes in the past generating a new sequence and copying your timeline to the new sequence would sometimes resolves some problems.
After weeks of banging my head against the wall I managed to find out that importing quicktimes into final cut would default the field on every quicktime to upper odd, causing this problem. Changing this option to none seemed to fix the problem. In saying this, this is not ideal as if you were working with say 40 quicktimes or more you would have to manually change each field to every quicktime before you start your timeline. Not good.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so have you found a better way around it?
Thanks

My Final Cut is adding a frame when I lay to Digibeta

I am getting really frustrated with my Final Cut as it is adding a frame when I layoff onto Digibeta. My time-line is set correctly, for example at 09:59:30:00 I have a 30sec clock and the video starts at 10:00:00:00 within FC but when I check the digi back the media is comes in at 10:00:00:01.
When I open up my project on another computer and lay to Digi it's fine and all the settings on my computer appear to be the same as the other computers that don't add the frame. And just to confuse mt futher, when I layoff to Beta SP in the same manner it comes in on time.
Has anyone else experienced this and managed to solve the problem? I am running FC 5.1.4 on a G5 with Mac OS X 10.4.10

I've seen with RS-422 connections that you need to calibrate each deck you use to record back to... You can do this by adjusting the device control setting for each machine. If it's consistantly a frame off, just adjust it's device control setting to match. (frame offset parameter).

Final Cut Studio - Adding Transitions

First off, I'm really new to Final Cut Pro... but very experienced in most other pro level Photo and Vector software. I'm following a video tutorial to learn the software, but I keep getting the "Dropped Frames" Error when I add effects. The way I'm doing it right now is I drag the slider to the point in the clip I want to add a transition and click the "Add Edit" option. From there I go to the browser and add the "Video Transition" "Dissolve". It shows up in the time line but when I go to play it and see my changes in the "Canvas" window I get the "Dropped Frames" error. I read the help file on this problem here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1165
I don't believe any of these things apply to me, and the options I could change did nothing to resolve the problem. I'm using a 13" MacBook Pro with the standard 2GB of RAM, 2.26GHz Core2Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.2, 720P video at 30fps.
The effect isn't even playing in the "Canvas" but I see it in the timeline. It's just not showing any effect at all. I could really use some help here... I was under the impression the 13" MacBook Pro can handle this kind of editing. Again I'm not doing anything major, just a video with some minor transitions.

Sorry Studio X,
I may not be an experienced Final Cut user, but I have done a fair share of video editing. Suggesting dissolve effects are very CPU intensive is just not true. I can do them in other software with 0 issues. I appreciate your help, but if Final Cut is unable to do something I've had zero issues doing in Premiere and Avid... that is something to be surprised about.
However, perhaps it's the video format I'm trying to edit (h264) which would be a much more reasonable explanation. I'm not entirely convinced that using an External Firewire drive is the only solution to this issue, and judging by other responses for my purposes no one else is suggesting that.

Adding dvd files to final cut

hey im thinking about getting a mini mac and final cut. (quick question)
can you insert a burned DVD and import its files on the timeline? in sony vegas you can i wasx just wondering about final cut?
thanks

Brian - I was only told that last month.
Tom - you are correct, as usual ! I have just removed my QuickTime MPEG2 Component and neither FCE nor FCP can import a VOB file. It's simply greyed out.
On replacing the component the VOB files can once again be imported. QED

Final Cut Pro crashes when video is added to the timeline.

I have Final Cut Studio 5, and every time I use Final Cut Pro, it crashes when I add video to the timeline.
I meet all the system requirements, have all the updates, have trashed preferences, and have also uninstalled and reinstalled the software.
Everything else in Final Cut Studio works fine. What should I do?

The codec for the sequence is "DV/DVCPRO- NTSC". I converted a .mov file to a DV movie, and Final Cut worked just fine when I put the file into the timeline.
So this solves the problem, but I have one question. Am I going to have to always convert files into this format now? Or is there a way I can import the files without it crashing?
Thank you.

Why is Final Cut Express adding 5 minutes of black to the end of my .dv export? I've marked it out, there are no additional clips at the end, it's doing this consistantly.

I'm using Final Cut Express 4.0 and when I export to .dv it adds 5 minutes of black to the end of my export. Any ideas on why this is happening? I have it marked out and there are no additional clips at the end that it's trying to capture.

According to previous posts in this forum, Apple does not support FCE with Lion, no less Mountain Lion. Nonetheless some people report no problems using FCE with Lion, depending upon upgrade protocols from Leopard etc. You list FEC 4.0, but FCE has an update to 4.01 free download from software update.
