Archive a FCP Project to DVD (with used captures only)

Is there a way to backup a project with USED Captures only.
So, the FCP file with the used captures, delteing all the unused captures.
Would be a great option to use or make correction in the future!

Backing up to DVD is probably the worst type of archive, not just because of the limited data space available but because the disks do deteriorate as a vastly increased speed compared to tape.
Even hard drives, if used for archiving and just left on a shelf can fail because they are not used!
Tape is still the best and most reliable.
We've been experimenting with Bluray data backups but of course, always have a tape back up on top of that!

I still distribute most FCP projects via DVD. No matter which MPEG2 setting I use in Compressor 4 I get an error - even Apple's default DVD setting. Has anybody successfully output an FCP X project to compressor and then out on a DVD?

Anthony, thank you very much - this works, though I thought I had tried your process previously without success. I've tried so many things who knows. I've had zero luck going with the Send to Compressor or Export Using Compressor Settings under the Share menu. I'm also finding Compressor 4 to be a real dog on my system even though I have a brand new quad core machine with 8G of RAM. Prior to receiving your post I did come up with a different work process. Using Export Movie from FCP X and then loading the result in Compressor 3 works flawlessly. Thanks again!

OH, kind geniuses...
it boils down to this...I'm very FCP friendly...production is done...I'm aware of "compressor" issue...one question tho
...is it easier to compress thru Quicktime movie or the
standard compressor functions when project is completed...
BOTTOM LINE...is it possible to crank out a standard DVD copy of a completed FCP project QUICKLY/ EASILY...thru
DVD STUDIO PRO? i've went thru the manuals for ALL, and am
affraid I'm reading T.M.I. into it... THE question..."is there a simple Wham-Bam-Thank You-Maam way to get a simple
DVD copy from a completed FCP project THRU, (the dreaded)
DVD STUDIO PRO??? I don't need to re-learn digital electronic theory...just crank out a gawl-dern DVD I can
present to a perspective employer that needs a FCP editor...

Projection Goes Black With Use of Audio Output Jack

Any video projection I do when using the extended desktop as a second display begins to flicker or go completely black whenever I put a line into the headphone jack. If I unplug the line, the projection comes "back on" and is perfect. This seems to be the strangest problem since I thought using the extended desktop (mirroring off) shouldn't be related to audio output, or maybe I'm missing something. I thought it was the presentation program I was using, but I tried another, and it still happens. Any ideas?

I think you are correct. It sounds like it is a hardware problem which should't occur. Try contacting apple.

Pentax DSmobile 600 with Image Capture only sayd "No paper loaded..."

I was using Paperless to scan documents, but Paperless is not fully working on Snow Leopard yet. I re-installed the Pentax DSmobile 600 TWAIN driver tonight, but I still cannot scan documents into my Mac.
If I select "Flatbed" as the Scan Mode, I can get it to "Overview" a document quite nicely. But when I tried to scan it it doesn't go well. When I use "Document Feeder" as the Scan Mode, Image Capture just sits there saying "No paper loaded..."
A workaround is to "Hide Details" at which point it seems to start allowing me to scan again.
Is this a bug with Image Capture?
To reproduce:
* Open Image Capture
* Choose Show Details
* Select "Flatbed" as the scan mode
* Select "Document Feeder" as the scan mode
* "No paper loaded..." displays on the screen, Scan button disabled.
* Click "Hide Details" and you can Scan again.

Does anyone happen to know if there are other SW packages that enable calibration of this scanner? I've already tried (and let expire) Paperless and currently have a brand new but useless dsmobile 600 sitting on my desk - which I ironically chose over other models because of the recommendation by Mariner software for this:
from http://www.marinersoftware.com/sitepage.php?page=152:
{quote}"Nearly any scanner will work with Paperless through the Image Capture method, however we strongly recommend using a TWAIN compliant scanner or Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M, Fujitsu ScanSnap S300M or Pentax DS mobile 600. We have found that Fujitsu and Pentax have the best drivers on the market at this time; your results may vary using any other scanner. "{quote}

How do I use DVD sharing using ethernet only?

Hi All
I am trying to set up DVD sharing between my Home PC and macbook. My PC is running Windows 7 Pro x64. I want to use the DVD on the pc to run on my mac. The thing is I only have an Ethernet cable and am a complete noob when it comes to this kinda thing. Could someone please at least point me in the right direction, searches of google etc only show file sharing and I was told I need to make sure both computers are on the same network.
Regards

No longer able to use Capture (only capture now)

I used to be able to capture with the full capture functionality (in Final Cut Express) and now I can only 'capture now'. I have not changed any of the system settings.
I confirm my camera (Sony HDR-HC7) is recognised in system profiler and I can also use the full capture (import) functionality in iMovie. But not in FCE.
Please advise.
Thanks
Paul

I think your confusion is caused because FCE and FCP handle HDV differently and therefore have different capture windows.
For normal DV they are both the same and you get this window:
However, FCE cannot edit HDV natively so it is converted during capture to the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
To do this, FCE uses a simplified capture window which only permits "Capture Now" like this:-
FCP on the other hand can edit HDV natively so it uses the normal Log and Capture window like this:-
FCE has always used the simplified capture window.
The only way you can get the full window is by upgrading to FCP . . . . . . . . which is a rather expensive way of changing your capture window!

Archive FCP project to device?

So, I've been archiving audio, video, and graphics to our Superloader 3a like a mad dog. Everything's been going great -- until I tried to archive a FCP project. When I right-click on that asset, there's no "Archive" option. Shouldn't I be able to archive projects? Or, I'm I misunderstanding the purpose of the archive feature. Is it only supposed to be for content?
Message was edited by: Daro Walker

I think the main point of archiving in Final Cut Server is to free up space on a Device. Since project files are relatively small this shouldn't be a major concern.

Can I archive imovie project to dvd?

Is it possible to archive your imovie project to dvd when finished?

Yes, you can find out how on the iMovie forum.

Burning a FCP project in iDVD?

I would like to burn a FCP project to DVD using iDVD but cannot seem to import the project...when I open iDVD, and select open existing project, none of my FCP projects can be selected. Is there another way I should be doing this? Should I be using DVD Studio Pro? Thanks!

Hi
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

Archiving a motion project

Is there a way to archive a motion project similar to archiving a fcp project? I want to extract all video and photos used in the project and copy them to a saved file so that all media is together with the project, the same way media manager does this for FCP.
thanks..
Message was edited by: Dale Garber

I didnt "miss" the 3.. it was actually the point of my question.
I think youre saying that archiving is a new feature to motion 3 and that this cant be done in motion 2 (and has to be done manually). My project has a lot of media. I tried using the media tab selecting all the media and then did open in finder, and this opened about 100 separate finder windows. Is there a better way to save a motion2 project with all its media than this?
What other "must have" new features come with motion 3 that would make it worth the upgrade besides archiving?
thanks!

How to burn to DVD without using a menu

How can I burn a project to DVD without using a menu? When I open iDVD, it wants me to select a menu. I just want my project to play without using any kind of menu. Can someone walk me through this? Thanks.

If you use iDVD it is quite simple: after creating the iDVD project, open the tree view, where the project is presented as a tree of menus. Drag your movie from the finder to the top (root) node of the tree, and burn the DVD. Your movie will be played just after inserting the DVD in the player, without showing any menu.

Exporting Final Cut project to DVD

trying to export Final Cut Express project to DVD not using IDVD...wanting the cut to play without menu options...looked thru help on IDVD and didnt find anything that would allow such a choice...quick time doesnt seem to have that option to export either...

Michel has told you what you need to do. In the iDVD menu bar, select View>Show map. At the top left of the resulting screen is the small "autoplay" window; if you drag your QuickTime movie there, it will play automatically when you insert the disk into the player.

Using actual DVD footage in FCP projects

I produced some short movies using iMovie and have them saved as playable movies on DVD using iDVD. I want to incorporate these short movies into a project I am putting together using Final Cut Studio.
What is the best way/software to use to rip my previous movies so that I can use them again as part of my new project. My movies are unprotected so in theory this should be straightforward to do but I don't know where to start.
I have looked at the DVD file structure and all the files are 'Video_TS VOB' files and I have no idea which files are which.
I basically need a way of cutting my movies from my DVD and then being able to reuse them as part of another DVD.
Any help would be appreciated

Do you have the original source file used to make the DVD? Use those if you can. But MPEG\Stream clip with transcode those VOB file sfor you no problem. I believe QT will open VOB as well. Make sure you export then uncompressed.

How to make a self-playing DVD from FCP project of 75 minute film.

A Quicktime film has been made in Final Cut. It is about an hour and 15 minutes long. It needs to end up on a self-playing DVD.
Maybe this is a question for the FCP boards (or for DVD SP, which I don't know well): What's the approach to get this project to DVD?---having it look best on the DVD. Are there compression best practices?

Or you may be able to make a Kiosk mode DVD from a QT file / folder using iDVD. (btw ...I've done this successfully thru iDVD6 but I have not yet tried it under iDVD08):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4764361&#4764361
Please note that this approach is the only way I know of to make a DVD (w/in iDVD) that plays by itself and with no menu whatsoever. Hence the DVD will always play in a continuous loop until you press stop or eject on the remote. Or if you prefer you can also use Roxio Toast which has a similar feature.
