Batch Exporting Clips from timeline in Final Cut Pro X

So ive looked at many forums and many sources and I know this isn't the first time this question has been asked.....but I was
wondering how I would be able to batch export clips from the timeline (about 100 or so) to use as Content for VJing (live media manipulation). Is there a simple way to acomplish this in Final Cut Pro X... I have heard remours that you can cut multiple clips in Quicktime Pro 7 but im not sure how eficiant this is, I also have heard that this is allot easier to acomplish in Final Cut Pro 7. If anybody knows a simple (and quick way) to acomplish this Im all ears!

If you want to batch export parts of your project, I believe that you'd better served by an external utility, like QTCoffee. Export your movie to Quicktime, and then use QTCoffee to create the various bits in one, er... batch.

  • Exporting Video from Avid to Final Cut Pro

    I saved video clips from Avid Adrenaline as .mov files and burned to disc. When I try to open disc, I have audio but no video. This may be a Quick Time issue, but I am out of time. Does anyone know an easy way for me to get the video out of Avid into my system?

    additionally, you might want to export some sample color bars along with your media. I have found there is a rather drastic color shift, that took two CC filters to correct for, when following this workflow.

  • When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message

    When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message and the export quits. Any ideas on a fix?

    Also, if I remember correctly, Final Cut Pro HD was version 4.5. Is this what you are running?
    If so, what version of OSX and Quicktime are you running?

  • I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro. There are two clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. It is extremely frustrating, can anyone help?

    I have put several clips with transitions into the timeline in final cut pro X. There are two separate clips which are followed by transitions which do not play at the right speed. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening - any thoughts/help?

    The two HD clips were purchased from itunes (MPEG - 4) and converted to .mov for use in Final Cut Pro. Project properties - 720p HD 1280x720 (60p)
    Is this enough information?

  • How do I swap one clip for another in Final Cut Pro 7?

    How do I sway one clip for another in Final Cut Pro 7? I am doing what it says in a book but it is not working. Thanks.

    You drag the clip from the browser to the clip on the timeline. Wait till the timeline clip goes white. Drop it and pick from the menu that appears the replace option you want.

  • FCPX: In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?

    In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?
    An example: In Premiere Pro, the whole video is added to the timeline identified as used in their video library. Facilitating our work on a big project, not to repeat videos. You can do this in FCPX?

    The way it works in FCP:
    Working from the Timeline Index, you can see lists of all clips in the sequence and their location in the timeline.
    You can also do a search (kevn) to narrow the results.

  • Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

    Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

    Thanks Tom -
    I created two "sequences". They are currently listed individually in the "project library". Now I want to take sequence "B" and attatch it in it's entirety to the end of sequence "A" - forming one long sequence.
    I have tried to drag sequence "B" and drop it into "A's" timeline. I have tried to creat a compound clip. I'm either missing something - or - you can create a compound "clip" or a compound "event" - but perhaps you cannot link to "projects" together.
    Does this help descibe my problem?
    Thanks again.

  • When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes!

    When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes about 3/4ths the way through the 12 hour process. I'm saving it to a La Cie 500 GB disc by fire wire. It's worked before but after I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence, I haven't been able to export it and it won't play straight at anything bigger than 25% size. Please if you have any advice I won't forget it. I'm trying to export as ProHD 1060i.

    I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence
    How, exactly? And what were the settings of your new HD sequence? DVCPRO HD 1080 60i?

  • Export videos with metadata to Final Cut Pro?

    I would like to use Aperture 3 for reviewing video footage from my SLR and adding notes, ratings, etc. Has anyone come up with a way to get this metadata exported from Aperture and imported into Final Cut Pro? I can export a simple tab-delimited file from Aperture, but is there a way to get that in a form where it can become a bin in Final Cut Pro. (I think Batch List import in FCP will only work for capturing stuff from tape -- my clips already exist on the hard drive.)

    Do you want to reedit them or do you just want to work with material generated in imovie. Not sure about the first, but for the second, export a quicktime movie. IMovie works with DVstreams which can cause problems in fcp.

  • Exporting after effects files to Final cut pro

    Hello, I'm trying to export some simple AE quicktime movies for use in the 'Final cut pro' application.I'm using AE CS5.5 on Mac OSX and my colleague is using version 5.1.4 of Final cut pro on Mac OSX. My movies arent rendering very well in FCP (my colleague tells me that there is loss of quality). What format should I render my movies as in  the 'Output Module settings' box? And what 'video Codec' should I select from the 'Format options' box in the 'Output Module settings' box? I'm guessing that getting this correct is the issue...and I cant seem to get the right setting!
    Please help! Its driving me mad!
    Many thanks in advance.

    I've got a different opinion about 422. I find even 422LT it is completely adequate and satisfactory for 90% of the work I do with my partner. However, we mostly use ProRes4444 when exchanging movie files, even if we dont' need the alpha, simply because it's a good standard that we can always use whether we're coming out of Motion or After Effects or FCP.
    If your movie looks good to you coming out of AE, but your editor says it is not rendering well in FCP, he's probably got something set improperly in FCP for handling the file you've given him or you are giving him an incorrect frame size or frame rate. Your output settings should match his timeline's base codec, almost exactly. But you must consider his need for an aplha chanel, color space, frame rate, scalability and other factors.

  • Export feature not working in final cut pro x

    Hello,
    I'm working on a multicam edit in final cut pro x and wanted to export it to see how it looks, but when i try to share it all of the options for sharing under the share tab are grayed out, i can't seem to export my project and can't export it using CMD+E, neither, does anyone have any idea or maybe i'm doing something wrong?
    Can someone please help?

    The project is in the timeline. That's where i'm trying to export from, but all options are grayed out in the shar tab, also i noticed that it's only with this one project, all the others are perfectly fine.

  • Trouble with the round trip from Color to Final Cut Pro

    I have edited a home movie together. I then have sent the sequence to Color for grading and then after completing the Color changes and Rendering. I sent it back to Final Cut Pro. It starts out working fine but during the transfer process it stops at somewhere between 50% and 60%. It is during the "Importing XML Data" phase. It just sits there and does not change and I have to force quit to get out of it. The exact same thing happens when I try to round trip from Soundtrack Pro 2 back to Final Cut Pro. So I am unable to make use of the changes I make in these programs.
    This is a round trip process that I have successfully made many times before. Nothing has changed. I am working in Final Cut Studio 2 with the latest updates on an Intel Mac. Any advice on how to remedy this situation would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hard to say where the XML interpretation is getting lost... That it stalls at 60% could mean a number of things. If you have a cuts and dissolves simple timeline, that should not be an issue. Something is causing a corruption, though and it could be a media type, a filename (which can break folder paths), a filter or motion tab which generates an invalid value, or a recompression that violates the sequence settings.
    At this point, I start cutting up the original sequence and roundtripping it until it works, or breaks and then try to figure out what's different. Often there's something hidden like an imbedded recompressor in a nested sequence or something like that, that will allow COLOR will load, grade, render, and then not know what to do to re-write the export XML, or re-imbed it illegally.
    There are a lot of things that FCP does that editors take for granted that COLOR utterly cannot cope with -- but may deceptively carry along and then crash on the next step.

  • Codec error from photoshop to final cut pro sequence

    I'm trying to render a video, but i get the error "codec error"
    The clips are actually still layers coming from photoshop cs2.
    I set up the photoshop document with the preset "ntsc dv 720x480 with guides"
    In final cut pro, my sequence settings are: ntsc dv (3:2), compressor settings h.264
    Thank you.

    You're using DV and your sequence is H.264? Why not have your sequence set to DV?

  • Self Contained Final Cut Pro Export Files unreadable in New Final Cut Pro 7

    Has anyone come across this? I was using Final Cut Pro 5, created a self contained file of a current project 1.9GB in size. Uploaded the new version of Final Cut Pro 7 and upgraded to Snow Leopard, and now it tells me that this is unrecognizable as a movie file. Quicktime or Final Cut Will not open this file. I'm puzzled.

    Hi VideoJunkie
    I have not come across this. However, my previous FCP 6 Self-Contained Exported ProRes 422 standard (not HQ) files which are actually 1440 x 1080 will only playback in the new QT version 10 using that aspect ratio (whatever the actual screen ratio is at 1440 x 1080, I'm not sure, but the video width is squashed together... I suppose it has something to do with showing it in square pixels versus rectangle... or do I have that turned around. I'm not sure, I have always been confused about the ProRes 1440 x 1080 format, all I know is it plays back properly in 1920 x 1080 when I transcode it for DVD or ATV, iPhone etc..). In any case, you need QT player 7 (standard or pro version) to display these files at the intended aspect ratio of 1920 x 1080. The old QT Pro player version 7 will let you change this in the properties window, but the QT 7 standard player will not let you (those options are grayed out) and the new QT X player doesn't even show these options (i.e totally unavailable).
    Also, these previous files will play just fine (for me anyway) in FCP version 7. If you having a different issue where they will not play at all, then I'm not sure how to help you, but I just wanted you to be aware that my old self-contained files from FCP 6 do work (for me anyway) in the new FCP7 under Snow Leopard.
    (ADDED) I must ask, what codec were your previous exported self-contained QT movies? Do you have this codec on the commuter your trying to play your old master self-contained exports on?
