Blu-ray send from fcp

Which is better? In sending a file from Final Cut Pro (FCP) to compressor (or Toast) to encode with quicktime conversion to Apple Pro Res HQ or to a H.264 file?
Thanks,
Lee

In the compressor window, it showed the main page and the chapters page (although that thumbnail is so small you can't read the chapters).
And of course it doesn't explain the 133 randomly placed chapters
Anyone know why you can't use the created AC3 and 264 in a new BRD?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

The Color doesn´t recognize the clips´time when I send from FCP to COLOR

I have a big problem. When I send from FCP to Color does not recognize the mounting clips. In each plane is everything and not the s 2 or 4 seconds it had in the assembly of the FCP.
I have worked with Color more times and have not had that problem.
Anyone can help me?. Can it be the codecs, the times of the FCP, the settings of COLOR?
Could you help me, please ?

subpaper clips.
What is a "subpaper clip"?
By the way, all this nonsense about COLOR only supporting one layer of video... where is this coming from? This is utterly untrue... I am thinking of Stevie Wonder's song that states that when people believe in things they don't understand, that's superstition.
Rather than try to explain all the things that COLOR cannot do, maybe it would be easier to lay out the basic concept of what should be sent.
Very fundamentally, COLOR is a sequential-file (.dpx) color correction or grading application that has been modified to work with a few Quicktime codecs, and can accept a single sequence of independent media (discrete clips) from Final Cut. That sequence can have many layers, but it cannot have any nested sequences, and there still are a number of editing strategies within Final Cut that can be proxied, albeit inexactly, but occasionally not at all.
The safest sequence to send to COLOR from Final Cut consists of independent Quicktime Clips, all of the same resolution, codec, and frame rate, which should match the sequence settings of the Final Cut project. There is a naive assumption that anything that can be done in Final Cut can be replicated in COLOR and returned intact. This is absolutely untrue, and the evidence of that is everywhere in this, and other forums.
In this particular instance, "zotero"'s problem, while lamentable, is of his own creation by ignoring or proceeding without any preparation or investigation, and assuming that every editor's concept of what passes for the creative process has been anticipated and compensated for by the application developers.
To mark them manually now when already I have the definitive assembly is a labor of many hours.
Unfortunately, that may be your fate. Alternatively, you may consider the use of a "Media Manage" operation which will re-organize the independency of the source media. The Media Manager is covered extensively in the Final Cut manual. I'd advise doing a lot of back-ups before proceeding with anything else at this point, because it really looks like there is going to be a lot of trial-and-error in the near future... mostly error. Good luck with it all.

I want to burn a blu ray disc from PP CC 2014 and do not have the Encore application. Is there a way to do that?

I want to burn a blu ray disc from PP CC 2014 and do not have the Encore application. Is there a way to do that?

Here's a free non-Adobe solution as well. It's definitely got a steep learning curve compared to Encore, but from my understanding so far, it may also be more capable. (And it's still being developed, unlike Encore which is dead software.)

I want to burn blu ray discs from FVPX, compatible mac burner.

I want to burn blu ray discs from FCPX projects. I note I should be able to but any thought on a mac compatible burner. Why is so difficult to find one??

I would recommend navigating to www.macsales.com, because they specialize in Macs they can point you to devices that should work with your computer. Please make sure you also have software for burning Bluray discs, i'd recommend Titanium Toast.

Bought Mac Pro in San Francisco and I'm now located in remote area in China. Need to know does a Mac Pro 15 play Blue Ray Disc from History Channel. My unit rejects them.

Bought a Mac Pro 15 in San Francisco, but I'm now located in a remote area of China. I would like to know if the Mac Pro 15 can play a commercially produced Blue Ray disc from the History Channel. My unit rejects them. Other disc by Pixar, Disney which are not designated Blue Ray work. I was told when I bought the Mac Pro it play

No they don't unless You buy an external BD-burner with Playback program (if they ever exist).
As it looks like Apple is leaving the DVD disk format too so Blu-Ray is not on the list as I read Mac Worlds and alike.
I use a PlayStation 3 - and it works very well.

Just purchased blue ray movie from store with a redemption code but will not download with out inserting disc I have a macbook air

just purchased blue ray movie from store with a redemption code but will not download with out inserting disc I have a macbook air

I am experiencing the same thing. I have many books that I used to read on my iPad.
Now on iBooks in Mavericks all my books downloaded correctly apart from two which I really want to work (The Lean Startup and Communicating The User Experience).
When I download both using the cloud icon just when it reaches 100% I get this message:
[Insert Book Name] failed to download
To try again, select Check for Available Downloads from the Store menu.
When I check for available downloads it says I have already downloaded all my books.
Anyone know how to fix this.
I do realise that this is only v1 of iBooks so I hope Apple sorts it out soon.
Thanks!!!

Error MessageDuring Creation of Blu-ray Disc in FCP and Compressor 3.5

Yesterday I spent more than 7 hours trying to create and burn a Blu-ray disc (actually an AVCHD disc on DVD-5 media) in both FCP 7 and Compressor 3.5. In every case, disc creation would go to completion of the encoding of the video and audio files, but when I was asked to insert a disk, I would do so and the disc would spin for about 30 seconds and then I would get the following error message: "There was an error burning your disc. The bit rate exceeded the maximum allowable." This message cannot be a correct description of the problem because I used the Blu-ray template that Apple provides in FCP 7 and Compressor 3.5 to create my disc. This template limits the bit rate to a maximum of 15 mbs and my video was only 15 minutes in length.
Additional information as follows: I am using an Early 2008 Mac Pro 8-core. I have Final Cut Studio 3 installed with all of the latest updates. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 (latest updates all installed),and I have experienced no other problems with FCP 7 or Compressor 3.5. My Mac Pro's internal superdrive is functioning fine, and in fact, I eventually took my FCP7 project and rendered it to a QT reference movie and used that in Adobe's Encore CS5 to burn and AVCHD disc using the same internal DVD burner on my Mac Pro and it worked perfectly.
I am seeking any suggestions for how to address the problem (whatever it is) that gives this error message. Would you recommend a reinstall of the applications in Final Cut Studio 3? Other suggestions? Has anyone seen this error message when trying to burn Blu-ray or AVCHD discs from FCP 7 or Compressor 3.5?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Tom

Guys,
I am deeply appreciative of all of the suggestions and help received on this issue. I apologize for not responding sooner, but i have been looking at the problem described in this thread from numerous perspectives.
Jeremy, you may well have hit upon the solution, and I am trying your suggestion now. I did not realize that when you selected the Blu-ray template and directed it to a DVD burner that would make an AVCHD that you could alter the bit rate settings. I looked at the default bit rate that Apple sets when you select this template and I found that it allowed a maximum of slightly over 17 MBs and an average of 15 MBs. That is too high for an AVCHD disk, and thus the error message that I am getting may well be correct and not in error as I previously thought.
I have found that I prepared Blu-ray AVCHD disk as recently as late April with no problems so I don't know why I have not run into this problem of too high a bit rate before, but I had not. It may be that I used a Custom Present that I prepared and set my own bit rate for those disks.
In any case, I am trying a run now where I have set the bit rate to a maximum of 15 and an average of 13. We shall see if that still produces the error message. I shall post my results when I know them.
Again, thanks to all of you for your fine help.
Tom

How to burn Blu-ray disk from Encore?

My project was shot and edited in HD. The camera was a Sony AX2000 1920 X 1080 60i the highest resolution for the camera. The project has been exported to Encore (CS5.5 Production Premium)and is on the timeline there. How do I get in touch with "Chat" to get phone help to go from where I am to burning a Blu-ray disk? When I try to email Adobe Help I am routed round and round back to same place and I can never find anyplace to send an email to Adobe to ask a support question. When I click on "Help" from Premiere Pro or Encore the explanations use frequent links to videos elsewhere for explanations and none of the links are functional! Why is that? I can't find an explanation online or in Adobe's Classroom in a book or anywhere. I would appreciate some links to videos explaining the process or some basic instructions. Thank you.

Encore also has a very active forum too: http://forums.adobe.com/community/encore/encore_general
Good luck,

Option to create Blu Ray Disappeared from Job Template

I recently got the new Compressor 3.5 which has the ability to burn a blu ray. When I first downloaded the version, I would open up compressor and the job template would open and give you the option to create a DVD or blu ray. When I opened up my compressor yesterday to burn another blu ray the option to create a blu ray was gone. I have tried to re-install FCP studio and compressor and nothing is bringing it back. Does anyone have any incite on this? I've searched the forums and haven't found anything.

Creating Blu ray disc using FCP

I'm curious to know how people are creating a data file for a Blu Ray Disc that use FCP? i.e Toast w/ a third party burner.
Thanks

Will you be using Encore or Toast to encode the video file?
In either you should start a video file exported as self contained current settings from FCP, and encode that to either h.264 blu ray mpeg2 HD in the settings of either Encore or Toast.
What are your sequence settings in FCP?

Premiere CS5 to Encore 5.1 Blu Ray track from six mono wave files

When preparing a 5.1 mix for a theater presentation, I had repeated trouble trying to get a blu ray disk to reflect the 5.1 mix our sound engineer created, so, having had success this time, I wanted to record my procedure. You gurus might catch something I missed, so critique this where necessary:
I'm running Windows 7 Professional, Premiere CS5 and Encore CS5.
You will need to purchase the Minnetonka Surcode for 5.1 ( http://www.minnetonkaaudio.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=74)
Mine installed without any hitches.
In your Premiere sequence, make sure you create a 5.1 Master audio track. (Very important)
Create 6 5.1 audio tracks
Import your six mono wave files. (L.wav, R.wav, Ls.wav, Rs.wav, C.wav, LFE.wav) but DO NOT drag them to the timeline yet.
Right click on each .wav file in the project panel.   For each one, select Modify -> Audio Channels
In this dialogue box, you can select mono, stereo, mono as stereo, or 5.1. Choose 5.1.
Each of your wav files should be mapped to the proper representation of the 5.1 icon, with the black dot appearing where the final name would imply. (the *c.wav file would match the icon as it appears below.
Continuously click on the icon will bring up new channel options. (see illustration below)
For more info on channel mapping, see: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b1038518aef7-7f46a.html
(continued..)
When all your wav files are mapped to the master 5.1 audio track, you can drag them to the sequence and you can export your audio file.
File -> export -> media
My objectives was to get an *.ac3 file to drop into my encore project, since I had trouble with dynamic link, so the next step for me was:
Format: H.264 Blu-ray (note export audio only didn't give me the 5.1 surcode option, but I got it this way:)
uncheck export video
export settings, h.264 Blu-Ray, Dolby Digital, SurCode for Dolby Digital
Our engineer recommended:
Dialog Normalization should be -31
Dynamic Compression should be set to none
The export resulted in an AC3 file that was a perfect match to the sound mixer's file on his end.

You can skip the Modify step and just route the tracks from the Mixer.

Color timeline starts each clip at 00:00:00:00 after sending from FCP

When I export a sequence from FCP (7.0.3) to Color (1.5.3), the latter shows a timeline with clips of the proper duration, but with the wrong in/out. Each clip in the Color timeline starts at 00:00:00:00 of the source file, as opposed to the "in" I had selected in FCP.
The video originated as h.264 files from a 5D. I transcoded the files to ProRess 422 for editing, and am sending them from FCP to Color as such. The FCP timeline contains nothing but these ProRes video clips.
Thanks for your help...

any way to use an edl with these kind clips?
That poses an interesting option, maybe. For starters, though, the Send To... COLOR command instructs FCP to write an XML export that is decoded by COLOR, and that should take care of things.
There is a strategy that AVID users sometimes employ, and that is to export a CMX EDL, open that under COLOR and link to the media directly under COLOR (this works for RED flow). I am mystified as to why COLOR defaults to the first frame of your exported clips -- unless the time code is faulty in some way (or is not present), and so COLOR is simply beginning at the beginning as a kind of default.
Even if the in-point is wrong, are the clip durations correct?
Are you absolutely sure there is timecode on the ProRes clips? Apparently this is a problem shared with Final Cut Express, where exported QT clips always start at zero, but this is hearsay on my part as I have never dealt with FCE.
An alternate strategy at this point might be to export a complete Quicktime of your finished (textless) project, re-import it into FCP and "razor" cut it using your original timeline as a cutting guide. That sequence would go to COLOR with no issues.
A lot of users do this as standard procedure if they want to avoid a lot of "baking" and conforming if they've got a large number of mixed, or unsupported, media clips on a timeline. As a brute-force solution, its the Big Unifier.

How to read Blu-Ray disk from Encore

I shot footage in 1080i on a Sony HDR-HC7 camcorder. I edited it in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0 (374) running on XP home edition. I then created an Adobe Encore project (Encore CS3 V3.0.1.008). From Encore I burned 2 standard DVD's, one on the DVD burner & the other on my Blu-Ray burner (LG GGW-H20L, firmware YL05)). Both disks played perfectly on my Sony Blu-Ray player ( Sony BDP-S300).
From the same project I then burned a Blu-Ray disk using Verbatim BD-RE (2X) on the same LG drive. When I attempted to play this disk on the same Sony player I got the message 'Can't play'. I repeated the above process several times & each time I produced a Blu-Ray disk that can't be read.
Can anybody tell me how I can resolve this problem?

Many thanks! Updating the firmware on the Sony player did the trick (V2.1 to
V4.5). The earlier version could not read BD-R(E).

redmondo
