Burning a window dub from FCP for spanish translation

I need to burn a window dub of my program for a
spanish translation company that needs to translate the english
to spanish.
Would this be done in FCP or in DVDSP?
Thanks.
Kevin

You can do it in FCP using Video Filters > Video > Timecode Generator, you'll have more control and see your image before committing but you'll have to render
or you can use Compressor and turn on the Timecode Generator in the Inspector, under Filters, for the MPEG-2 settings

Burning a window dub from FCP to DVD

I have the time code window up on the canvas but I can't seem to export a burn window onto a dvd.

Apply the TimeCode Reader filter to the clip(s) in the Timeline. Then output for DVD.

What is the best compressor setting to use ... when exporting a 720p timeline from FCP for a project that will only be played back in a standard def monitor?

What is the best compressor setting to use for DVD StudioPro ... when exporting a 720p 30 timeline from FCP for a project that will only be viewed in a standard def monitor?

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?

Exporting from FCP for use with PC

Hey all,
Trying to deliver a high-med quality 8 minute video from FCP for use with a PC. I've tried exporting both a .mov and .avi using DVCPro50, but neither are readable through the PC. Best I can get is sometimes audio will show up. Does anyone have a good solution for exporting from FCP for use with a PC?
Thanks again for your help!

I don't think DVCpro50 codec is available on a PC. I think panasonic has a special license with apple only, so you need to try a different codec for the avi.

Burning a windows DVD from iPhoto 09

Dose a Windows DVD burned from iPhoto have the information on board to allow printing of the photos, I seem to recollect one had the choice of including this info prior to the burn, but cannot remember from where.

It worked for me and I'm using iPhoto '08. I was trying to see how to make the MAC created DVD readable on Windows. see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2135626
Thanks for the simple instructions. You made my day.

Exporting from FCP for iPhone...

OK... So we have almost 100 videos on our website from the last couple years. I was under the impression they worked on ipods/iphones..... I was wrong. Here is step by step how I export them from FCP, I'm hoping someone can point out why they wont play on iphones.

I know I could used the apple devices setting from compressor but I tend to get not-so-good results when using the preset options. Any help getting these working is greatly appreciated.

trc,
This page lists encoding option that are suggested in the "Ensuring a Great Audio and Video Experience" collapsable menu:
https://developer.apple.com/iphone/devcenter/designingcontent.html
In addition to the encoding, I would verify your server supports all the requirements in that link as well.

Best way to export from FCP for website

I've been reading around about this and am not getting a clear idea of what to do...
I have some short sequences in FCP (longest is 2 minutes) that I want to post individually on my new website (that I'm just learning about).
I want to export them in a way that is a small file but that looks and sounds good, and also that can be played by most or all computers.
So I guess that is two questions: settings for export from FCP, and how to control how it will be viewed.
Thanks so much, anyone with ideas or experience!

We don't know what format you are dealing with, ratio etc.
However, some short answers for you.
For best quality at a considerable small file size the choice is, yet again, H.264 (Require QT7 or higher. For universal compatibility you may need flash conversion).
FCP main menu>File>Export>QT Conversion>Options> the higher the bit rate the better the quality but the bigger becomes the file size. Size : i.e 320x240 if 4:3; 480x270 if 16x9). Choose AAC (Not PCM) as sound format (192 target bit rate).

Best Way to Export 24p from FCP for Compressor

When you click file> export...
You are prompted to the drop down menu that says stuff like quicktime movie, quick time conversion, export for Compressor, etc.
My question is do you think "exporting for compressor" is a good workflow?
My two main criteria for "good workflow" being 1) speed and 2) quality of final image.
Thank you,
Trey

If you're doing compositing or color correction work in FCP that degrades when rendering because you're using a highly compressed codec (like DV or HDV), then sending an unrendered timeline directly to Compressor produces the best quality.
Outside of that, exporting a reference movie from FCP (from a rendered timeline) then dropping that into Compressor is the fastest way to go. Especially if you're working with a 4-core or better machine (then encoding time is greatly reduced).
Otherwise, if you're working with, say, the iMac listed in your profile, sending unrendered material directly from Compressor will take about twice as long as a QT movie would.

Anyone using Encore to burn to Blu Ray from FCP?

Given that there's no way to burn a "real" HD DVD, is anyone exporting their FCP movies to Adobe Encore and burning to Blu Ray? If so, have you had any success?

I'm yet to Author a BluRay w/ Encore using Media from FCP... but I do Author SD DVD's by exporting DV QT's from FCP then importing and encoding w/ Encore.
Seems like you'd be able to do the same by exporting an HD QT w/ a CODEC that's also on your PC.

What format to export from FCP for iDVD?

I am having trouble coming from FCP to iDVD. Material was shot HDV on a Sony Z5 and I downconverted to DV to edit on FCP. I make a Quick Time Movie of the edit (as DV PAL) but the pans are all juddery. How should I export from FCP to stop the juddering on pans?

BTW, this is the mother of all FAQs here Sadly the FAQ section of the forum decribes just the problem, not any solutions. And searching the forums doesn't always work either.

Seeking volunteer for Spanish translation

Hi,
I am developing some educational software with our local high school on a volunteer basis (no fees, just satisfaction and appreciation). In about 10 days we will be giving a demo of the program. One of the features of the program is the ability to switch languages. In our demo, we'd like to demonstrate switching from English to Spanish. The code is Internationalized, but we need someone to translate our English strings in a .properties file into Spanish. (~50 strings). We also need to translate some associated text documents into Spanish: a total of perhaps 2000-> 5000 words depending on what we can finish in the time available.
I'd appreciate it if anyone who is willing to help out would respond here and I can give more details.
You need to have Microsoft Word, java 1.3 run time environment and plug-in, and the capability of entering Spanish text into Microsoft Word (fairly straightforward under Windows 98 or Windows 2000).
Regards,
Joe

P.S.:
lest anyone be scared off by the 2000-> 5000 words, this is really an upper limit. Anything would be helpful.
Regards,
Joe

QT - want to know how to resize HD movie trailer from FCP for email!

I need to export a FCP movie (2 min. 30 sec) as a QT file to email. I'm new to this and am having no luck in figuring out how to do this. I have HD format, 16:9 ratio. Do I go into Compressor, or QT Conversion? I need to have good quality, yet still be able to have a size I'm able to email.
Thanks for any help. I desperately need to know asap and am unsure what to do!

Forget about trying to attach a QuickTime file into the restricted space of an email.
Most ISP's limit the file size of attachments (.Mac limit is 10 MB's) and your two and a half minute HD file would consume that much in just a few seconds.
Serve large files from your .Mac iDisk and email just the URL or find (Google) some of the free file sharing services for your QuickTime file.
iWeb, iMovie and iPhoto (part of iLife 08) can help you make Web based files served from your .Mac account ($99 a year for 10 GB's of storage).

Export settings from FCP for viewing on a PC?

Hi, I need to export a FCP sequence so that it can be played from a clients PC hooked up to a screen.
I've tried H.264 but there's a massive loss of quality in the result. Am I missing a setting? The Pro Res export looks perfect but I understand this wont play on a PC and as the file's going to be passed around I wont be able to install anything on the end users PC.
New to AV so would be grateful for any help.
Thanks

How are you exporting h264? There are bunch of very useful presets in compressor that can deliver excellent quality. First off, I think you need to make sure that the pc user has quicktime installed. If you can't controll what's installed on the pc, I would purchase one of the flip4mac options which will allow you to export a wmv which will open on any pc (I think). Sorenson Squeeze also offers wmv export options (I think).

How can i export lossless video from FCP for Episode Pro?

Hi,
i am looking for a way to export videos from Final Cut Pro in order to use it in Episode Pro for further converting.
I know i xould use Compressor an just import the Episode settings into Compressor, but that's gonna obstruct my workflow and - to be honest - i hate Compressor.
So what video format is the best for this kind of project?
Thanks,
Heidi

Unfortunately the source material is on an external Drive connected via Firewire 800 to a mac in the office next to mine. Our macs are connectet via gigabit ethernet.
Something doesn't sound right.
First, If you render the Sequence before exporting it for Episode, it should not matter whether or where the fonts are installed. Are you sure everything is rendered?
Second, are actually saying that your are editing material in your Final Cut timeline that is coming in over a network connection in another office? You must spend an awful lot of time, drumming your fingers on the desk!
We export everything we do to Episode for conversion to Flash. It just works.
