Best way to adjust audio on Final Cut Pro 5 Quicktime Export?? Render files

What is the best way to adjust audio on Final Cut Pro, Quicktime self-contained export? Please note all render files and orginals master clip are gone. So adjustments will need somehow be made to the exported Quicktime file.
As always thanks in advance for your reading and replying to my post,
Sebastian

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

You don't need to render before export.
Rendering is for playback.
If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

Best Way to import items from final cut pro

I have recently edited a video in final cut pro studio 1 and them compressed the file for dvd studio. However when i came to look for my file it was as a quicktime movie that dvd studio could not see. ie when i came to locate the file i dvd studio it did not show up when other files had. I tried rebooting the program but alas it still could not find it.
Can someone tell me a better way or what i have done wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Paul Andrews

Best way is to export from Final Cut (either self contained or to Compressor) and then encode the video to m2v (using Compressor or other encoder) and audio to AC3 then bring those files into DVD SP

As to why the file is not being seen, are you sure you exported to the path you are looking at? Just try exporting to the desktop to make sure you know where it is.
If you have more details on the workflow it will help (such as how you exported, where to, what types of files, etc.)

Can't play Final Cut Pro Quicktime exports

I have version 10.0.09 and Ive tried every setting in the export settings to try and save the video as something other than Quicktime. This is because when I go to play my exported quicktime video, it comes up with "QuickTime Player can't open "*******" because the movie's file format isn't recognized." I need to send the video to a client but I myself can't view it and fear they won't be able to open it either..
What export settings can guarantee me to view the video?
I also need the video under 2GB and it tells me at the bottom it is at 3.18GB est. When I save it as AppleProRes 442 it comes up as 103MB in the info on my documents so I assume that's not a problem. But I still cannot open the file to view once exported.
Help please!

Choose your project (or a compound clip in the Timeline - in either case while in the timeline, put the playhead at the start and hit "I" then move to end and hit the "O" key. Now select the corresponding Project in the browser:
choose share/e-mail/settings/ Small. This will give you the smallest QT file that you MAY be able to put into an e-mail. If you want a larger file:
share/export file/settings/Format:Audio & Video/CODEC:H.264/open with QT Player/Roles as a QT File.
You can adjust as needed - in export file if you choose settings/format:Apple Devices/Codec: H.264 Better Quality/Open WITH/ QT PLAYER, click on the tiny TV icon with a check in it next to the file size & will always show you which devices it is optimized for. EVEN IF IT IS A MPEG_4 FILE... Quick Time will play it as will a PC.
Experiment with the settings of each setting in Export File. Stay away from MASTER and do not send Apple Pro Res it will be too big and they may not be able to play it.
Choose Codec h.264.
This is very basic stuff, I hope this helps, tho.

Mixing 5.1 audio in final cut pro

Hello,
Looking for good sources on mixing 5.1 audio in final cut pro.
Thanks,
joe

You don't. You use Soundtrack Pro for this. FCP is a picture editor...not sound editor. You need to use a sound editor to mix 5.1 audio.
Look in the manual...best place to start.

Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro on Separate Machines?

Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro from the same Final Cut Studio license on separate machines? We hadn't realised when we bought Final Cut Studio that it wouldn't allow this. Our editor doesn't use motion, and while I mainly use After Effects on our motion graphics machine, I was wanting to try using motion for some particle effects. Unfortunately, it won't let me open it while Final Cut is running on our editor's machine. I can understand not letting two copies of same application run under the same serial number at the same time, but it would be nice to be able to use both programs that we own concurrently. At very least it would be good to warn you that this isn't possible in the product description, not in some fine print license agreement once you have already bought the software.
-Matt

I do not know of any software, in any platform that can operate from the same license over a network simultaneously.This is the exact reason for the existence of Volume Licensing. If for example a project ran in each one of the included applications from different sources that were not an active network, I doubt you would have a problem.Like, doing a project at work and geting the outcome with the Powerbook at home...Sorta!

Can I mute all audio from Final Cut Pro X?

Can I mute all audio from Final Cut Pro X so that I can listen to music while I do sorting, keywording, favoriting, etc? I'm doing a video where all the camera audio won't be used anyways, so I don't need to hear it in FCPX.. I'd rather just listen to my music instead. Thanks.

For clips in the timeline, andynick's suggestion works fine - temporarily disable the audio roles will play everything without audio and you just have to reenable these roles later.
For clips in the Event Browser, you can also disable and reenable audio for a bunch of clips all at once. Select the all the clips you want, open the inspector, click the audio tab and uncheck the box (for "stereo" or "mono" or whatnot) under "Channel Configuration". Again, to reenable just check this box again.

The frame rate shows in the Inspector. Conform in the retiming menu of the toolbar will let you change the frame rate.

Final Cut Pro X Export Speed Problems

I'm having problems getting any real processor speed out of my Final Cut Pro X exports. Whether I do a direct native Pro Res export straight from FCPX or send to compressor with the same settings, or even change them to H.264 or something else, i more often get processing that looks like the included picture, barely one processor being tapped. Sometimes ill get 50 percent which is probably all direct export is meant to use, seems like Qmaster distributed processing still doesn't work here. Once i get the file out and then bring that into Compressor 4 I get no issues, can get 50 percent with regular submit and full speed all cores running with Quickcluster submit. Any ideas why this is happening?
Just to be clear, these are native ProRes HQ clips, no effects, nothing, just selects I'm trying output, and since we can't do reference clips anymore, well....

TThe most common cause of this problem is that the media hasn't been imported properly and is still referencing a camera card or archive. If you press Cmd-E and no dialog appears, this can be one cause.
BTw, this is primarily a user to user forum, so no one here really cares if you go and use Premiere.

Final cut pro not exporting to youtube?

Final cut pro isnt exporting to youtube? why is this and what can i do to fix it?

Isn't exporting to YouTube? Why? Can't see your computer. What's happening on it?
Are the keywords in the export tags too long?

Final cut pro X export files bigger than originals

I got two WMV files, each file size about 500mbs, I converted them to mp4 using permute. Afther converting, each file size about 490mbs.
Then I open the mp4 files with final cut pro, I just want to mend the two clips together, it's that simple. I finish puting the clips adjacent to each other. Then hit export and chose encoding method .h264.
When final cut finished exporting, the movie is over 4GB in size.
Why is it so big ? the orginal files combined size is just about 1 GB.

File numer 1
format :H.264, 1,280 x 720 AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
FPS: 29.97
data size: 1.23 GB
data rate: 3.64 Mbit/s
current size: 1,280 × 720 pixels (Actual)
File number 2

Should I Render Video-Audio in Final Cut Pro or Compressor?

The last time I read-up on this it was concluded I should trash/empty all my FCP project Audio/Video render files, then Export FCP>Compressor for best quality Mpeg2 and Audio compression.
What is current, render both in FCP6 or trash all and let Compressor 3.0.5 do it all?
Or it doesn't matter anymore?
Basic workflow:
Sony PD150, SD 4;3 into Final Cut Pro 6.0.5 Timeline.
Work on video and audio filters for adjustments.
Export to Compressor?
I am then bringing the Best Quality 90 min MPEG-2 and DolbyDP2 into DVD Studio Pro.
Thanks...

I did it both ways and can't see any difference.
The only reason I revisited the question is because my first, second and third MPEG2 runs through Compressor 3.05 (using both methods) looked like krap — very blotchy in areas and pixely halos around moving subjects.
They were unusable (like Compressor 2x was) so I was worried.
For some reason the problem cleared and it looks acceptable now.
I don't think it makes any difference which method you use is my conclusion.

SUPER USEFUL TIP: Use clean titles as adjustment layers in Final Cut Pro X

One thing I love in After Effects are adjustment layers and I just realized you can actually use titles as effects in Final Cut Pro X and they behave just like adjustment layers (actually you can go much further in Final Cut Pro X).
So titles process everything below in Final Cut Pro X even with effects applied to it. So why not just build clean title in Motion 5, put that to top "track" and add effects to it. This way you don't have to hassle that much with compound clips.
This technique works with all effects (also color board works on titles) so for example if you want to have certain look for some period of time simply add clean title to top track for that time and add effect to it. I think this technique has tons of potential for people who want to keep their timelines in order and don't want to create complex compound clip messes.
If you don't have Motion 5 you can download Adjustment Layer here. Just extract contents to your Movies/Motion Templates/Titles folder and you'll find it in Final Cut Pro X Titles under Adjustment Layer.

Great idea!

Final Cut Pro X export troubles: exports video with only half the audio.

Ever since I updated Final Cut Pro X, I've been having problems exporting. I either get error messages or the audio doesn't fully export. When I tried exporting a master file to my desktop, I got a message saying “error occurred when creating frame” then lists the frame number. Someone suggested copying the project file and pasting it into a new project. I did that, and it exported without the error popping up; but halfway through the video, the audio disappears, and does so in the same spot it disappeared in a previous youtube export before I tried the copy/paste method. I don't have the original footage; I'm making color correction changes to an edit; so I'm not sure if the second half of the video is somehow corrupted, don't know how to check that, and not sure what to do if it is.
Another suggestion given to me was to delete the event my footage is in, then create a new event, re-upload all the footage into that one, and relink my project files to it. He also said don't delete my event and project folder at the same time, which I'm not even sure how you simultaneously delete two things on a laptop. I don't understand how this method would work though, since deleting the event makes my project disappear since it has nothing to link to. I'm scared to try this method since I don't want to lose my work; I really don't want to color correct it all over again.
Is there any way to successfully export the file suitable for youtube posting, or is this a bug in the system they haven't fixed yet?

Just turned off background rendering.
I'm not certain what you mean for specs in a specific point in the video, but here are the specs for the entire edit I initially received:
Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
2 Audio Channels
Total bit rate: 12,083
Size: 951,735,770 bytes (951.7 MB on disk)
Here are the specs for the exported video that has the audio issue:
Dimensions: 1920 X 1080
Codecs: H.264, AAC, Timecode
2 Audio Channels
Total bit rate: 12,274
Size: 966,817,082 bytes (966.8 MB on disk)
The video is 10:28 minutes long and the audio leaves at 5:57.
If that wasn't what you were looking for, just let me know. I'm not very good with technical stuff sometimes so may have misunderstood.
Is there something I should have done to the piece before I began color correcting it, like transcoding?

What's the best external drive to use with Final Cut Pro?

I'm looking for a drive to mainly back up my final cut pro work, possibly do a little editing on, what's best? I have a G5 desktop.

Congratulations on your graduation.
On the hope that during your college career you learned how to do original research, you could show some clear initiative and read through those threads my link will reveal. From the drives discussed you might find common elements (praise or conndemnation) that show up after reading dozens of threads. Of the ones that get consistently good reviews by serious users, you can then go the website of the manufacturer and figure out if they fit your budget.
All this can be done in the time of you waiting around for a few people to chip into this thread.
Good luck.
