Breaking down a VOB file for clip edting in final cut pro

I have a client that shot some video of their farm this past week and they want us to edit portions of the video. Of course this is one huge .VOB file. I have the the entire VIDEO_TS file folder but I have yet to find a way to capture clips from this file?
Is there a way to capture any of this without having to make multiple copies of the file? It is a lot large than I would like 800MB.

I figured it out Thanks for the help/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic_ __/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic___/migration-images /migration-img-not-avail.png It was greatly appreciated.

VOB Files have no sound in final cut pro and prism

2 things:
1) when I import a VOB file (from dvd) into FCP it doesn't have sound when I edit or when I export
2) In the software prism I tried to convert VOB files into MOV files and it only exported as video without sound.
Does anyone have suggestions please?

Then you aren't doing it right.

I am making a graduation video for my cousin using Final Cut Pro. I have photos layered over videos, and I was wanted to find out how you can add a border around the photos so they stand off of the video. Anyone know what I could do?

You would need an image editor to edit the images and add a border to the image first before importing them into Final Cut.
Cheapest and very good image editor?

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

FCP doesn't work with 3GPP, which is basically a cellphone compression format. FCP only works with media in the QuickTime framework. It only works with video in standard video frame resolutions, which 800x480 isn't, and with video that uses uncompressed audio, while yours is compressed.
Standard definition video is 720x480 at 29.97fps with uncompressed 48k audio in a production codec, which H.264 isn't; it should be either DV or DV50 or ProRes.

HSV filter in Motion makes clip disappear in Final Cut Pro

I'm running Motion 1.0.1 and Final Cut Pro HD 4.5. Whenever I add the HSV filter to a video clip in Motion, import the Motion file to Final Cut and play it in the timeline, it appears that the clip is missing.
Although I get no error messages from Final Cut saying that the clip is missing, it does not show up during playback. Every other layer from Motion plays as normal while the layer with the HSV filter applied to it looks as though it is gone. I should add that the video plays normally within Motion.
I could just export the video as a Quicktime movie, but I don't want to compress it.
Anyone had a similar issue?

That's a ridiculous answer. If there is a program designed to do something it will do it. If it's not operating properly there is a reason for it.

Displaying HDV 1080i50 .mov file in FCE captured with Final Cut Pro

Hi
I cannot display (in Final Cut Express) a clip in a .mov file that contains HDV 1080i50. The file was created on a different Mac computer running Final Cut Pro. The source was a Sony Z1 camera. No hardware card was used.
I get the error message in FCE - "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card"
Can Final Cut Express work with HDV 1080i50 created from FCP?

You didn't say what format the video was, but you can use MPEG Streamclip to convert that video to something that works in FCE.
The important thing is that you'll want to match the settings you convert this video to so that it matches your timeline settings. This will make everything much easier to work with and eliminates the need to constantly render the timeline.
Do you have other content you are going to be working with in addition to just this one clip? If it's just this one clip, you will probably want to use the "Easy Setup" settings of HD, AVCHD-Applie Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i50. You'll want to use MPEG StreamClip to convert that video to matching settings -- specifically tell it to convert to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec). If you have other media/clips you're working with in addition to this one, you'll then need to decide what format you want to use for the timeline and Easy Setup. If you post those details, we can try to help out.

@daguerratype
The Spatial Conform is one of the things I tried. Unfortunately none of its settings fixed the aspect ratio. When I choose "Fit", it simply shows it as 4:3 and leaves left and right black borders on a 16:9 timeline. When I choose "Fill", it zooms the 4:3 video and chops off the top and bottom parts.
@Thomas Emmerich
This is a decent workaround. Fortunately my clips are named in such a way that I can easily drop them all in the timeline and do a Command-F (Find) to search by clip name, highlight all of them in the search results, then use the Inspector to modify the properties of all the clips at once. I have to change X-scale to 133% and Spatial Conform to "Fit", and now at least it fits the 16:9 timeline properly.
Thanks to both replies. I still hope Apple adds a way to fix the clip in the Event browser so that I don't have to do this workaround.

Importing AVI files from Adobe Premiere into Final Cut Pro 5

I am editing a video for someone who captured the footage on a PC with Adobe Premiere, and he gave me a hard drive with the AVI files. Is there any way I can import them or convert them to import in Final Cut Pro 5?
If not, would settings should he use when he exports the captured footage so that I can use it?

Hello there,
you can use QuickTime Player to convert the files. You need QuickTime Pro for export functionality, though.
Step by step as follows:
1. Open the AVI file in QT Player, select "File > Export".
2. In the "Export:" pulldown select "Movie to QuickTime Movie".
3. Select "Default settings" in the "Use:" pulldown.
4. Click "Options" right to the first pulldown menu.
5. Click "Settings" in the "Video" pane.
6. Set Compression type to "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC".
7. Set other options (interlaced/progressive) as needed.
8. Click "OK".
9. Set audio options in the "Sound" pane using the "Settings" button. (I don't have an AVI w/ sound here, so please see FCPs DV-NTSC Easy setup for approriate audio settings).
10. Click "OK".
11. Optionally: name the file.
12. Click "Save".
For the remaining files, use the "Most recent settings" option in the "Use:" pulldown of the export dialog.
Unfortunately, while QT Player can export multiple files simultaneously, it has no batch capabilities, so you have to open and export each file by hand.
Also, I'm not sure if QuickTime recompresses the files or just changes the container (even if the codec is the same).
Other than that I always recommend Flip4Mac's Episode for this kinda work. This app even has a conversion preset for this. Also Episode allows for changing the container format (AVI -> QuickTime) without recompressing the frames.
Hop this helps, Oliver

How can I export a file that may use in Final Cut Pro?

Hello friends,
May I know how to export a file that I can use it Final Cut Pro???

If you are talking about rendering then just use any production codec that FCP supports. You have access to them all. Use the Render Cue or create a custom preset in the Adobe Media Encoder.
If you want to do something like dynamic link with FCP, that does not exist. You can save a PPro project as a FCP XML but any PPro effects or PPro settings unique to PPro will not come across. If you turn an After Effects project into a FCP project by going through PPro as was suggested then you will NOT get any of the effects you applied to your composition or any of the animation or anything but the footage In and Out points, opacity, rotation and position because that is all that will be moved into PPro because After Effects plug-ins are not compatible with PPro. If there is a dynamic link to an AE project in your PPro project that will not move to FCP at all. You'll get nothing.
So the long and short of it is if you want the work that you have done in AE to show up in FCP you must render the project. I use ProRez 444 10 bit for any work I do on FCP. You can make a custom Output Module preset to help speed up the workflow.
If you are new to AE please read this on rendering: After Effects Help | Basics of rendering and exporting
If you are really new please go through these three tutorials: Basic Workflow

Mpeg-2 files won't work in Final Cut Pro

Please help! I was given mpeg-2 files to edit in Final Cut Pro 6, and they don't play in FCP or Quicktime. Is there a way to convert them to a format that will work?
The dimensions are 1440x1080, MPEG-2 Video, MPEG Layer 2 codec, not sure the frame rate.
I do have the original miniDV tapes, but they won't play in my JVC deck - just a black screen. I think the footage was filmed on a Sony camera, and I think I remember hearing Sony cameras film in mpeg-2?

do I just export to Quicktime and use current settings (ProRes)?
Yes. Make it a Self-Contained file.
This will be put on DVD and we're looking for the best quality to send to film fests. I
Use one of the Best Quality, time based DVD presets in Compressor. Import the resulting files into DVD Studio Pro.
It's a short film, so I won't need to compress it.
Yes you do. A DVD uses a MPEG 2 video and ac3 audio track as its basis. Using Compressor as outlined above will produce those files.

How do i delete .lock video files on my iMac in final cut pro

I'm trying delete video files in Final Cut Pro X but they come with cant delete because of .lock how can i get rid of these?

Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

If there ever was a NEW update for iMovie, will iMovie have the ability to burn projects onto a Blu-Ray disc so that customers don't have to pay for additional software like Final Cut Pro or Roxio Toast Titanium/Pro?

It would be helpful for those who are familier with iMovie to use Blu-Ray discs for burning and playing back their iMovie projects in HD. However, iMovie '11 doesn't have that special feature yet. I hear that 'Final Cut Pro X,' 'Roxio Toast 11 Titanium' and 'Roxio Toast 11 Pro' can copy projects like iMovie onto Blu-Ray, but it would take long periods of time to do that. Professional software, like FCP X and Toast, can be pricey.
I'm hoping that iMovie '11 will burn projects onto Blu-Ray, but will that ever come true?

Will iBlu-Ray be an upgrade? OR and update of iDVD?
If it's an upgrade, then that means you'd still pay for it from the Mac App Store. I wish it would only cost between $20-40.
If it's a free update of iDVD, but with the new name, that would be better than to go out and pay for things!!!
However, external Blu-ray recorders would still be required if you were going to burn an iMovie project onto a blu-ray disc.
Is there a way to put in a request for 'iBlu-Ray?'

2012 mac mini i7 or imac i5 for video editing with final cut pro 7 ?

Hello,
I am totally new to mac world.
I read some posts but not clear to me if better a mac mini 2012 i7 2,3Ghz and video card Intel HD Graphics 4000 or an imac 2012 i5 2,7GHz and NVIDIA GeForce
GT 640M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory.
The software is final cut studio 3 from final cut pro 7.
So better more performance in the l cpu or in the videocard?
Thank you
Gianni

If the Mac Mini has not had its hardware changed since the release of Mountain Lion, July 25, 2012, Final Cut Pro 7 is reported as not working in some situations under Mountain Lion. If it has been hardware changed by Apple on or after July 25, 2012, you won't be able to run Lion, and may not be able to run all Final Cut Pro 7's features. The two entries for Final Cut Pro 7:
http://roaringapps.com/app:4449
and
http://roaringapps.com/app:4909
Appear to conclude it launches, but there must be something that doesn't work. There are some issues both with Lion and Mountain Lion with Final Cut Studio 3:

My advice, check the Final Cut forums to see what people have experienced with both. And make sure to follow specs exactly.

How import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

how import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

LOG AND TRANSFER. I have the full workflow here:
http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
Make sure you are running FCP 7.0.3. That version deals with files from the NX5 the best. If you are on a previous version, like FCP 6....you will need to use CLIPWRAP2 from Divergentmedia.com. As the specific AVCHD format the NX5 uses is something that FCP 6 cannot really deal with.
Gotta love new camera formats.

What is the appropriate .tif file size for 1080p Movies in Final Cut Pro?

Doing pans and moves on stills for projected show 1080. What size should I order my final still images? and is it also 72dpi? thanks

FCP can handle images up to 4000x4000 pixels.
Still, it's best to keep the images as close to the video resolution as possible as this reduces the overhead of the program used to dynamically resize. In addition, FCP is not the most sophisticated app for resizing images - Photoshop will do a better job.
Good luck,
