Blueray workflow form final cut pro x

Hello,
I'm trying to produce a blue ray master using:
external blue ray writer  http://www.buffalotech.com/products/optical-drives/mediastation/mediastation-12x -external-blu-ray-writer
imac
final cut pro x
toast titanium 11 with blue ray plug in
I'm looking for a working workflow to get several FCPX projects into a format that toast will burn and not degrade the quality and work
what I've tried:
Exporting to pro res 422 HQ format which produces large .mov files. I then import these files into toast. Toast accepts these but then encodes them. when testing the successful burned disc in several players only one of the 6 films plays the film

It seems like a Toast issue, rather tham a FCP issue. Can't think of anything specific to FCPX that Toast should have trouble with.  AFAIK,  export media, bring into Toast and you should be good…except you're not. Have you tried Roxio support?

  • Workflow from Final cut Pro

    Hello there,
    I have a three minute video sequence in Final Cut Pro and
    want to post it on the web for streaming. My question now is:
    should I export from FCP using my quicktime export to flash
    file function or do I get better quality when I convert in the
    Flash media encoder.
    The follow on question then is: how do I know what setting to
    use in FCP?
    Or if I would go the other way: what format should my movie
    be in to import into the Flash media encoder?
    thank you so much.

    it appears that if you check only "include crossfades"(during the fcp omf export) it does retain those once in logic, but if you check both "levels" and "crossfades", nothing gets retained. strange.

  • What is the best workflow for Final Cut Pro X across multiple computers?

    I travel on a team that is in a different location every week, so all of our video editing has to be fairly moble. We have 3 macbook pros and would like to use final cut X on all of them. What would be the best workflow for us all to work on the same project and sync it across the computers? (eg, one of us editing the footage, one editing the sound, one working on visual effects?)

    My first question would be how well 5.1 would work with SL. People have reported problems.
    As far as cameras are concerned, I would guess most any tape-based camera would work and so much depends on the kind of projects you work on that I wouldn't want to start guessing at your needs.
    If you want broad access to tapeless and advanced formats try to locate and purchase an upgrade disk to 6 or 7.
    Good luck.

  • Phantom, Final Cut Pro X workflow

    Hi friends,
    Please suggest the best workflow for phantom camera footages with final cut pro X.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Tom,
    Yes I've tried, but it didn't work.
    It works when I copy all the files from the SD-card to my hard drive, but then I see blocks/pixels in the video as shown on the picture below.
    Thanks for your help thusfar. Hopefully you have an other suggestion for me

  • Workflow for GoPro photo timelapse in Final Cut Pro?

    Shot a timelapse using photographs and the self timer with the GoPro HD.  But am having troubles with the proper sizing for final cut pro.
    I used Quicktime 7 to make all the images into a .mov.  But when I bring that file into final cut, it's nowhere close to as sharp as it should be.  The photos come out of the GoPro at 2592 × 1944 @ 72dpi.   When I kick it out in Quicktime 7 it comes out as, 1224 × 917.  Then when I bring it into a 1280 × 720 timeline, it looks like junk.
    Any suggestions on the proper workflow and settings to do this the best possible way?

    Hi,
    Personally I do stills time-lapse conversions in motion.
    Set up a project same as your sequence (1280x720 in your case)
    Import the stills as an image sequence, resize (and do moves if you wish) on the oversized image sequence.
    Then export it as a QuickTime movie in the same codec as your fcp sequence.
    Works a treat for me.
    Cheers

  • Speeding up Final Cut Pro X workflow with nikon d7100

    Hi everybody,
    I recently bought a Nikon d7100. I've shot some footage and now I want to edit it in Final Cut Pro X. I know FCPX doesn't support the H264 codec natively so I converted it to ProRes 422(LT) with mpeg Streamclip and Compressor. Works perfectly, but my problem/question is as follows:
    Doing it this way takes way too long. Is there a faster way to do this? I used other camera's in the past and usually there was a plug-in to do this within FCPX itself.
    Does anyone have tips to speed up my workflow?
    All help is appreciated! Thanks

  • Final Cut Pro 7 Setup/workflow

    Hello there,
    I work at a small company and we are starting to build large amount of raw tape and capture scratch data. I am writing to learn about best practices, procedures, and troubleshooting techniques. We have two editors who both work off Macs on a 1 gig Ethernet network using Final Cut Pro 7. The data lives on a remote storage device, synology volume. They are currently connecting to the device using AFP and creating projects over the network.
    Mac Devices:
    iMac 27 OSX 10.9.5
    16GB RAM
    512 SSD
    Synology:
    4x1 gig E bonded
    40 TB usable
    Small Project :
         Raw Data: approximately 13GB
         Capture Scratch:  approximately 15GB
         Final Cut 7 project file:  170KB
    Large Project :
         Raw Data: approximately 135GB
         Capture Scratch:  approximately 345GB
         Final Cut 7 project file:  11MB
    The two editors are experiencing different level of lags and poor editing experience. The editors work off the remote volumes, they don't move the data (capture scratches) to their local drives when they are working on these projects.
    I have a number of questions about to how approach this:
    1. What are best practices for setting up -editor machines/volumes/etc?
    2. What transfer/mount protocols should they use AFP/SMB/NFS ?
    3. What software can I use to get benchmarks for read/write to the remote volumes ?
    4. If we went to a 10Gig E network switch, should we upgrade the nic cards on the iMacs? should we use Fiber optic ? copper?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Media@relay

    Is this Synology volume rated for the high demands of video playback? Most generic servers companies employ for data isn't up to the rigors and speeds needed for video editing, especially two stations needing to access video at the same time. If you plan on having a server for video, you need to make sure it's fast enough for video work.
    Both of those projects really have very little video data. Get 1TB drives for both stations and work off the media on them. FW800 at least...no USB2. USB3 is fine, if the computers have USB 3 connections.  Thunderbolt is best, if they have those connections.

  • Making Multi clips form one video in one export in final cut pro.

    I am looking to turn my video that is 45 mins in length in to 45 small 1 min clips. Can anyone tell me an easy way to export out the video in to 45 individual 1 min clips that will not need me to install more software or have to cut up the video and batch export 45 clips.
    thank you

    Have you tried to deinterlace the clip in Final Cut Pro X? Select the clip, go to Inspector > Info Tab > Settings View and check the de-interlace box.

  • Capturing footage form HDR FX7 to Final Cut Pro 5.1

    Hi Guys,
    I think my posts are borring as I didn't get almost any replies. But I still need to figure out what to do with my new Sony HDR FX7 and how I can get the footage out to FCP 5.1
    I've posted the details of what I've done in another thread here it is:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4655824#4655824
    I just retured from the apple store and I was told to meet with one of the final cut pro gurus during my one to one lessons. But the earliest I can do that would be a week from now. I was also told that because it's Sony, there is known problem with capturing HDV into FCP. However, there's seems to be some sort of "patch" or program that you can download (probably a patch for FCP that enables you to capture from Sony HDR FX7.
    Do any of you know that the apple store guys are talking about?
    Where can I get this patch? What should I do?
    I've tried the HDR FX7 on FCP 6 and the result is the same, it captures only first 2 seconds of the full hdv. Please help. Your responce is highly, highly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Please do not double post. It confuses the natives and clutters the issue.
    If you have something to add to an existing thread, just add it to the thread, don't start yet another one.

  • Final Cut Pro X long form videos

    I've done a number of short videos on Final Cut Pro X using my Macbook Pro.Now a client wants me to send out 90minute seminars with a "watermark" logo. First one seems is very slow going. Do i need something like a Mac Pro with dual processors, etc.?

    This seems to be just like my mac - a 2010 model. Unfortunately, it does not support 16GB, you have already maxed out the RAM.  You can and should avoid running other RAM-hungry applications (especially browsers) while you are editing or exporting in FCP X. Also, keep Activity Monitor open and look out for the memory section. If free RAM (in green) dwindles to a few tens of MB, your mac will slow down considerably. In that case, quit any applications you can, and quit and restart FCP X to free as much RAM as possible.
    Using a fast external disk will also help. The internal drive is not adequate for such large projects and also may be filling up, which again will slow things down a lot.
    (For this model the options are not many: FW800 (faster) or USB2 (not as fast); the best choice for me was an e-Sata disk, but that is only possible on the 17" model, via an express card - not an option if you have the 15" MBP)
    So use RAM very wisely, and put your stuff in an as fast as possible external drive and you should be ok.
    Not nearly as fast as on a Retina MBP, of course, but usable.

  • Canon EOS 7-D/Workflow Final cut Pro questions.

    Today i just upgraded my final cut pro from 5 to the latest 7.0.3, and im having trouble viewing my clips.
    First off, im very confused.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=3249
    i read this entire article and still cant view my clip in the timeline. Here's what im doing.
    I plugged in my card into a card reader,
    next i opened final cut pro, and i opened up log and transfer.
    my clips are all there, and i can preview them all.
    Step 3 is what confuses me.
    3. In the Import Preferences window, select 'Canon DSLR' as your Source, and then select the Transcode to format of your choice (such as ProRes 422).
    when i open up my settings/preferences in the log/transfer settings i cant seem to find "canon dslr, or how to make it my "source".
    instead, i see AVCHD PLugin, P2 PLug in, MPEG2 Consumer Cameras, and Canon E1. i selected the Obvious Canon E1 (because thats the plug in you download) and when i added it to the queue it finished and i am still unable to see it in the right window. There's audio but the screen is white.
    So the burning questions i have..
    What am i doing wrong?
    What do you use for your easy format or custom format?

    First don't use Final Cut to import directly from the card. Use Disc Utility to make a new image of the card from your card reader onto a hard drive. Make a back up copy of this by dragging it to another drive if possible. Now if anything goes wrong you are secure. Open one of these disk images and log and transfer from them with FCP.
    You do this by opening log and transfer window. Use the top left button in the window to point to the files. On the other side of the left pane at the top open preferences, select the Canon E1 but then double click the little arrows which should open another window and offer a selection of versions of ProRes, choose Apple ProRes or ProRes LT, anything higher is overkill. Select the files you want and add them to the import queue. They should start importing automatically. You should be able to see files appearing in logging bin progressively. Whilst the import is happening do not touch anything else in FCP, allow the whole import to finish before playing with them.

  • Proper Motion to Final Cut Pro 5 workflow for highest quality in Final Cut.

    I have read several post on Motion 2 to Final Cut Pro. I am somewhat unclear as to how to get the very highest quality Motion 2 project into Final Cut Pro 5. I am currently creating a new DV project in Motion 2, as I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5. I notice the Motion 2 files look blurry inside Final Cut Pro 5 when I import the Motion project file and add it to my sequence timeline. Clearly I am doing something wrong. Should I ever export from Motion as a Quicktime movie, and then add that Motion Quicktime movie to the sequence timeline? I know that the Animation codec gives the highest quality from Motion, but what about when you are using the Motion project file in Final Cut Pro 5?
    As always thanks in advance for taking the time to read and reply to my Post,
    Sebastian

    if you're exporting using the DV codec, Quicktime displays the clip at a lesser resolution than the clip actually is, and it will appear blurry on a computer monitor.
    open the clip in QT, go to "Window>Show movie properties". select the video track in the top portion of that window, then the "Visual Settings" tab. Check off the "High Quality" checkbox at the lower right of the window.
    this only affects DV codec clips, from what i understand.

  • Describe your Final Cut Pro editing workflow?

    Being new to Final cut I would love to hear more about your workflow in Final Cut in terms of capturing clips, organizing clips, etc. Do you first color correct all your footage and then begin editing in timeline, do you color correct as you go? etc.

    You color correct AFTER you have locked the cut. Doing so beforehand would be a waste of time.
    I have a tutorial DVD on my organization workflow... Getting Organized in FCP.
    Fro documentary, after I organize, I lay out the "radio cut", which is narration and soundbytes only. This is when I build the basic story. Then I go back and add footage, maybe add music at the same time. Then go back and add music or fine tune music, and add pacing to the cut. Maybe make a few changes.
    But this is all dependent on having a script. If I had no script, I'd watch all the interviews and try to find a story, build minor sequence with storylines.
    Narrative...that is VERY script based. I might have a separate sequence for a string of scenes...but I follow the script very much in the beginning, then go back and dissect the heck out of it...what works and what doesn't, work on the pacing.
    BTW, I might be compensated by the above posted link.

  • Can an "Archive From Camera" folder be opened up in Final Cut Pro?

    Greetings.
    I'm just starting out, using an AVCHD camcorder and iMovie.
    I've got video in my camcorder, and I want to remove it from the camcorder to make room for more video, and edit it in iMovie.
    However, I also want to preserve the original in its original form for posterity and future use. I'd like to keep an original forward-compatible version around to use in Final Cut Pro (which I don't yet have but plan to get).
    iMovie gives me two import options - directly into iMovie (which changes the file), and an "Archive From Camera" which appears to save it in what looks like the same folders/files as what's on the camcorder.
    If I perform an Archive From Camera, can I use the folder it generates to import the original video into FCP at a future date?
    Is this the best way to take video, use it in iMovie, and save a copy of the original so that it's there if I want to step up the editing at a later date?
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    So the safe workflow is basically: 1) make archive, 2) backup archive, 3) import into iMovie, 4) reformat camera.
    I'm nervous about errasing the video in the camera before I abolutely know it's safe, but I imagine if I leave it there and add to it, the next archive will combine new + old material..
    (apologies for the mirrored post - at 1st there were no takers in FCX so I then posted here).

  • How do I revert to original footage in Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.9, for some reason I have lost some audio in my timeline and would like to start again but cannot get the original footage?

    How do I revert to original footage in Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.9?
    For some reason I have lost some audio in my timeline and would like to start again but cannot get the original footage?
    Only the edited version which is no good without the audio?
    Please  Help

    What format is your problem clip? Are there wave forms visible in the section without sound?
    Right click on the clip in the event broswer and choose Reveal in Finder; open the clip in Quick Time to confirm that there is sound throughout at that stage of your workflow.
