Bring Motion project with sound into Final Cut

Is it possible to bring a .motn file into Final Cut, and also bring the sound with it? Whenever I try this, only the motion image files are brought in.

This thread was great had some very useful tips.....on the same sort of note is there a way to bring the audio from final cut into motion when you open the .motn file from final cut...... I am wondering this for sync purposes, so when i change the audio in final cut i dont have to render out an .aiff to sync to in motion.

  • Importing images with text into Final cut pro

    I'm using FC Studio on a 15" Powerbook 1.67 GHZ 1.5 GB RAM OSX 10.4.9 with a 300GB external HD.
    I'm editing a short film and am using some still images. I've successfully imported and used photographs edited in photoshop. I'm trying to import what is essentially a screen shot of a MSword Doc consisting of boxes, text and graphics.
    I've exported the word doc to PDF and imported to photoshop with 300dpi and saved as both jpeg and png. When viewed in photoshop the resolution of the text appears normal. It imports sucessfully but when viewed in full size in the timeline or external monitor the resolution of the text is terrible. I've also tried adjusting the scale of the image in the Canvas.
    I've read up on this issue a little and have tried reducing and increased the image size and dpi. Has anyone else tried to import still images with text??
    I apolgise if this issue has already been addressed - I've tried using the solutions provided for still images (without text) but have come up against a wall!
    I would appreciate any help or feedback!

    I have used Adobe Illustrator saved out as.png with great results.

  • How do you import raw motion video projects into Final Cut Pro X

  • Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

    Hi, Can i export an Imovie project with special effects as a quick time movie then import into final cut express keeping the special effects?

    Absolutely.  Go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion).  Make sure you check the Self-Contained box.  The export will be an exact copy of your Sequence, complete with any filters or other effects you've added.  Import the self-contained movie back into the project (or another project) if needed.

  • Importing FCE4 projects into Final Cut Studio

    I have the opportunity to purchase Final Cut studio with motion 2 Live Type media 2 DVD Studio pro 4. Since I have projects created in FCE 4 would I be able to bring those projects into Final Cut Studio with out a problem?

    Well I am finding more and more info It is Final Cut Pro Studio 5.1 not the "older" version I though it was. Am I to assume the FCE Projects are not transferrable to Version 5.1?

  • Best way to export from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, working in DV?

    I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5, and I would like to get the best quality from anything I bring in from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, I keep hearing use the Animation codec. I would like to hear from the Panel of experts.
    Happy Thanksgiving,
    Sebastian

    The Best way is to round-trip from FCP. Or simply import the .motn file directly into FCP. If you require an alpha channel and for some reason don't want to bring the .motn file in, Animation with millions+ for the colors (+ is the alpha channel) will work, But if you just want straight DV, you should export a DV file.

  • Importing imovie project into Final Cut Pro

    Hello I need help getting my HD imovie project into final cut pro. I recored the project in 24p and it's already imported into imovie. What is the best way to get it into Final Cut Pro so that I can edit it further without sacrificing the quality.
    Another problem is that I have heard that imovie compresses the video and totally ruins the quality. Is this true? And is this reversible in any way? I have already recorded over all the clips for this project on my camcorder. How screwed am I?
    -Michael

    First thing to do is find your original clips that you captured in IMovie. I don't have much experience in IMovie, but see if you can select a clip and control click and choose reveal in finder. If that works, open one of these clips in quicktime player and hit command-i and let us know the format of the clip.
    Kind of doubt you'll be able to actually import your project into fcp, but you should be able to recreate it in fcp without too much difficulty.
    Let us know what camera you shot and captured from. That may be of some help.
    Hopefully someone with more experience in IMovie will speak up, but hopefully this will get us started.

  • Motion files no longer able to import into Final Cut

    Hello all,
    Everytime I try to import a motion file into Final Cut I get an unrecogized file error. This just started but I also noticed that Motion has limited export options as well.
    I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

    Hi there. Has anyone got to the bottom of this file error problem yet? I'm having the exact same problem as the one in this post, ...and have an urgent deadline to meet!!
    Once again, trying to import Motion 2.0.1 files into FCP 5.0.4 but get error message: "File Error: 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown"
    ANY HELP MUCH APPRECIATED - THANKS!!
    R
    I am using Final Cut 5.0.4 with motion 2.0.1
    I did install some of the recent updates to Tiger to
    get it up to 10.4.9 But that is about it.
    I can't drag into the browser I can't do a file
    import.
    My other files that I had previously import maybe a
    month ago all work fine inside final cut but any new
    files give me the. I still need to conduct further
    testing.
    I will report my findings.

    24p is captured with your standard "DV-NTSC" easy setup, whereas 24pA is captured with the "DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown" easy setup. Correct me if I'm wrong I still have yet to work in 24pA.

  • How do i import imovie project into final cut pro

    I movie 08 is seriously lacking titles and transitions, so I want to spruce up my project in final cut pro, but I do not know how to get the project into final cut pro
    thanks for your help

    YES!
    Apple seems to be talking down to users with much of the workflow and nomenclature in the iLife Apps - it's almost insulting.
    But I'm as old as the hills too - grumping has become one of my favorite pass times.
    And while I'm at it:
    I still can't figure out why there is a "GO" item in the menu of OSX. WTH is THAT ? And why can't users change it's contents? Very PC. It would be more tolerable if we could use it like the OLD Apple Menu back in OS9. The Dock is cute GUI eye candy but I'd like the option of "docking" items in a menu too.
    I'll shut up now before I get in trouble...

  • I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects

    I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects. When I select import and then either files or folders, I am able to navigate to the drive where the media is being stored, but then when I scroll to locate the files or folders the drive disappears. This problem began as an intermittent problem, but now I cannot import any files or folders. This problem started when I upgraded my operating system to Yosemite version 10.10.2 on my mid-2010 Mac Pro running with 16 GB of memory and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. Can anyone help me figure out and solve this serious problem? Thanks!

    Then just drag the files/folders from your hard drive into FCP.  Don't use the IMPORT option...just drag and drop.
    The problem started when you installed an OS that doesn't support FCP 7.  So if you want things to work smoothly, it's best to go back to an OS that did support FCP 7. Yosemite was written without taking FCP 7 functionality in mind, so it isn't fully functional. It might not do one thing for someone...but works for you in that respect. But then you can't do something else. The ways it doesn't work is always random.  Or it might work great for some people, because they don't use functions that might no longer work....so they don't notice it.

  • MacBook Pro with SSD that has a limited disk space (120GB). Rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.

    I'm using MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD that has a limited disk space. As we know, when rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.
    My question is, Is there any method to get the rendering Projects file saved into an external hard drive which is connected with USB/ Thunderbolt/ Firewire, with huge disk space (eg. 500GB HDD).
    Now, new project created in my Mac is automatically saved in (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects) and my Mac has ran out of space to hold the files.
    Thank you.

    You have at least 3 different ways to show the project library:
    1) Go to WIndow->Show Project Library
    2) Click the button in bottom left of your window: 
    3) Hit the keyboard shortcut (Command-0)
    The project library will be shown, occupying the area where the timeline usually is.
    Your hard disks will be visible. Click the hard disk where you want the new project to reside and hit Cmd-N to create a new project.

  • Importing into Final Cut from Motion

    Hey All,
    When I'm done creating title pages etc. in Motion, I export a .mov (using the DV/DVC PRO NTSC setting)file to a folder. I then import the file into Final Cut and add it to my sequence etc.
    However, I have noticed that after I import it into Final cut, the colors are flat and the graphics look compressed.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Using Final Cut Studio 5.1.4
    G5
    OS 10.4.9
    4.5 Gb
    Thanks!

    It's true. DV/NTSC isn't very nice to graphics and titles. They're always going to look sharper in Motion. If your final delivery format is DV/DVC PRO, there's no way to avoid that, but it might help to reduce the amount of compression used overall (because you're going to be compressing them again on final export).
    By exporting your graphics using the Animation codec at Best Quality, and Millions of Colors+, you can achieve lossless compression (plus preserve transparency), so that when you bring the clip into FCP, it will look like the original (until you render it back to DV/NTSC). By only applying DV compression once at the end, you might be able to save some quality.
    (Doing what Adam mentioned will work too, and is probably easier. But it's good to know about the Animation codec as well).

  • Ingesting xa20 slow motion footage into final cut 7 or premiere

    does canon have step-by-step instructions for ingesting xa20 slow motion footage into final cut 7 or premiere?

    Hi davidframe!
    Thanks for posting.
    Not having made those applications themselves, Canon does not have step-by-step instructions for bringing slow motion footage into Final Cut Pro or Premiere.  However, I am sure either Apple or Adobe have some helpful instructions they can provide if you contact them directly.

  • Importing SWF into Final Cut Pro with no Background

    Hi Everyone:
    I've created an animated macromedia .swf file and imported
    into Final Cut Pro successfully just as an .swf file. I can see the
    .swf file animate in Final Cut Pro, the only problem is there is a
    white background along with my animation. I've seen many slighly
    related threads to this problem, but no end solution or work
    around. any help? here's what i've seen in posts and other forums:
    - create another layer below your object and place a
    tranparent color swatch box the size of your stage size
    - export the flash file as .mov with an alpha channel
    transparency
    - export the flash file as a .mov with an alpha channel, then
    open in quicktime pro, then re export again as a quicktime movie
    with the "Millions +" option.
    - i've also heard something about having the right codecs, or
    purchasing some other 3rd part software.
    none of these approaches have worked for me. My Dream would
    be to just import the .swf file straight into Final Cut Pro. I've
    been exporting my flash movies as a png sequence and importing
    every image into FCP for the time being. I'm also thinking about
    just making the background bright green, because i think i just
    chroma key it out, but i'm not sure how clean this will be.
