Can final cut pro x open a final cut pro 7 file?

I editied a file on Final Cut Pro 7. I am looking to purchase Final Cut Pro X and I am wondering if I can open and edit my Final Cut Pro 7 project in Pro X?

You have to use Intelligent Assistance's 7toX to be able to bring it to FCP. If you're talking about an FCP project. If you mean an exported file, most likely, but it depends on exactly what you exported to.

  • Final cut 7 wont open after final cut x install OR 3rd party software

    I had installed FC x a week ago,  did all the steps, even got FCP 7 to open... if I remember correctly.  I came back from a short week off and now I cannot get 7 to open.  It starts up loading the drivers and then I get the warning sign "Final cut quit unexpectedly"  and I can send the report or ignore etc.
    I'm not sure if this was an issue from final cut x or if it is because of a driver download I made from sony today. (link below)
    http://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/pro_hdv/fcp_plugin/
    Motion 4 opens,  DVD studio Pro opens, FC x opens.   I tried trashing the prefs and that didn't work
    Any other ideas?  Do I need to reinstall 7?
    Thanks for your help.

    Repair  permissions in Disk Utility. If FCP continues to crash…
    why not trash FCPX and see if FCP7 then launches?
    Either way, it won't take very long to download another copy of the new app.
    Also – Digital Rebellion's Pro Maintenance Tools has a Crash Analyzer. There is a trial version so you can evaluate.

  • Can you set a second "Open with:" application for a file?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if something like this exists for OS X Lion or greater: you can set a default application to open a type of file, say Safari for all .html files, but can you set a second default application for a file?
    I usually open files using command + o or command + down arrow from the Finder and I've often thought how good it would be to hit an alternate keyboard shortcut to open the selected file in a secondary default application.
    For example, if I'm making a web page and have the .html selected in the finder I can hit command + o (or command + down arrow) to open it in Safari and if the file isn't open in my editor and is selected in the Finder I can hit, say command + option + o (or command + option + down arrow) to open the .html file in my editor.
    Does anyone know if this can be achieved in OS X Lion or greater?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi all,
    If anyone's interested in a partial solution, I've rigged up the following.
    I ended up using an Automator action coupled with Spark to capture a keyboard key combination. Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark
    I've used Spark before with good results, and although it's from 2008 it still works on Lion.
    I created an Automator action that does two things:
    gets the selected Finder items
    opens finder items in the text editor I'm using.
    I then saved the workflow as an application so that Spark could run it.
    I've set up a keyboard shortcut that Spark picks up and calls my Automator workflow. It all seems to work nicely.
    So, I've created a specific "open selected file with <text editor>" keyboard shortcut that should do for the time being.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 opens multiple files (50) on every start

    Start the program or click on a pdf file and - pro 9 opens and loads every ******* pdf file I've had open in the past however long.  Seems to be a limit of 50 files - tries to load a few more and then stops.  What's changed since I last used it normally yesterday afternoon?  Nothing other than rebooting the computer.
    Appreciate any help.

    This is usually solved by deleting your Acrobat preferences.  Since you did not state your OS I cannot give you the path to your preferences but there should be a doc in the knowledge base pointing you in the right direction.  Good Luck!

  • Can iMovie projects be opened in Final Cut Pro?

    I've been searching all over the internet and the forums here and I cannot find an answer to this question. I know that at one time, iMovie projects could be opened by Final Cut Pro. Is this still the case? If not, does anyone know what versions are compatible with each other?
    I'm asking because I may be starting a documentary project soon where the director has already done some preliminary editing in iMovie (that's all she knows how to use). I'll need to transfer the project somehow into FCP to edit the project, and I just want to know how big of a headache this will be.
    Any help on the subject would be majorly appreciated!

    You can definitely use iMovie 08 to do a preliminary rough cut, then move the project into FCpro, and you don't need FCExpress to do it. Check out this tutorial (costs about $8) for more details, (altho most of the show is devoted to how to use iMovie):
    iMovie Rough Cutting for Final Cut Pro
    http://www.rippletraining.com/imovierough_cutting_for_final_cutpro.html
    The blurb says:
    "As a video professional you may think iMovie is only a tool for creating home movies, but it can be so much more! In this tutorial, we'll show you how anyone with a Mac and iMovie can generate frame-accurate cut lists that can be imported into Final Cut Pro. You'll even learn how to use iMovie in less than 7 minutes, which speaks to the incredible user-friendliness of the application.
    This tutorial is available through iTunes.
    In this tutorial you will learn how to:
    Defining the Problem
    iMovie Jumpstart
    Importing Footage into iMovie
    Changing the Number of Thumbnails
    Skimming a Filmstrip
    Naming a Project
    Making Selections in the Events Browser
    Adding Selections to a Project
    Non-Linear Editing in iMovie
    Trimming a Shot
    Using the E Shortcut
    Sharing the Project with Final Cut Pro
    Importing the XML File into FCP
    XML Dialogue - What it Means
    Reconnecting to Media"
    I've always used iMovie (HD and earlier) for rough cutting and initial importing, then switched to FC (first Express, then Studio 2) for color correction, titles, animation, and video layers. It was a bit of a hassle before iMovie 08; had to dig into the hidden files in the iMovie project to find the actual clips, or save out a dv version. Now you simply need the Final Cut XML file and access to the original clips.
    I have noticed that I need to check the "Use flattened audio from thumbnail movies" box in the iMovie sharing dialog, or else the audio needs to be rendered in FC, which, oddly, the tutorial above doesn't mention, or do. It may be that I need to do that because I use iMovie to import the footage in the first place, while the tutorial assumes you've got the clips already on a drive somewhere, and that you're working with files that other folks created elsewhere.
    I also check the Reconnect to Media files box in the FC import XML dialog, which the tutorial doesn't do (they reconnect to the media files manually after the XML import; they're visible inside the iMovie project when you use FC's Reconnect Media command). But since I imported the files on the same computer that I edit on, I simply check the box.
    According to David Pogue's Missing Manual for iMovie 08, you can also export out a QuickTime file using Apple Intermediate Codec, and then open this file in "any Apple video editing software," such as iMovie HD, and presumably FC. But that means a huge file, and duplicating the media. If you choose this route, be sure to check the size settings in the QUICKTIME export settings dialog, and set the audio to 48000k.
    HTH!

  • Can't open final cut studio 2 project in final cut pro 5.0.4

    My color corrector has the new Final Cut Studio 2. I still have version 5.0.4
    I can't open the project file he returned to me. I'm guessing its because we have different versions. 5.0.4 is the latest patch for me, right?
    Furthermore, a friend of mine has final cut studio 2 and opened the project for me. He exported an xml file and told me i should be able to import that and view the project file. When I open it all the media files are offline.
    Do I HAVE to upgrade to Final Cut studio 2 to be able to view these project files?
    thanks,
    ben

    Reconnect the offline media and life should be good.
    Still, the best solution is for everyone involved with the project to be using the same version of FCP/Color.

  • I can't open a final cut pro x bundle.

    Hello everyone!
    My problem is: I cannot open my final cut pro x library. When I try to open it it says:
    Fatal error.  The database at /Volumes/Старый/STOCK_source/STOCK.fcpbundle/CurrentVersion.flexolibrary is corrupted.  SQLite error code:11, 'database disk image is malformed'
    abort() called
    It happens to only one library. All the rest work fine.
    I've got FCPX 10.1.2.
    OS X 10.9.4
    It doesn't open the projects, when I try to open them separately (choose "show contents")
    Help me please... I really need that very bundle to work....

    Russ, Adam, thank you very much!
    First, I deleted the flexiolibrary, then the library opened in FCPX, but there were missing projects. Then I launched the latest backup and all worked well.
    Thank you veeery much again!

  • I can't open my Final Cut Pro anymore...

    Hi, I haven't been using final cut pro on my mac for a while and when I recently tried to open it, it didn't open and told me that "One or more of the scratch disks that I have specified does not have read/write access"... What does this mean?

    If you don't get a dialog box during start-up to reset your scratch disks as Todd mentioned.  Navigate to Users/~You~/Library/Preferences and delete the following file:
         com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    Then navigate to Users/~You~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data and delete these three files:
         Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs
         Final Cut Pro Obj Cache
         Final Cut Pro Prof Cache
    This will reset you preferences to their defaults and hopefully get you up and running.

  • How do I open my Final Cut Express 4.0 files in Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?

    Hello,
    I used Final Cut Pro when I was in college and when I graduated in 2010, I bought Final Cut Express 4.0. I recently bought Final Cut Pro 10.1.3 two days ago and I am having trouble opening up my old Final Cut Express 4.0 files. When I do go to open up these files they only open up with Final Cut Express and I always get the message: file's format is too new for this version of the application.
    How do I open these Final Cut Express 4.0 files in Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?
    Thank you!
    Anna

    TThere is no way to go directly from FCE to FCPX. If you know somehow who has FCP7, they can open the FCE projects and export XML files. These can be converted to FCPX XML format using the 7toX utility.

  • I can't import my Camera Archive to final cut pro x

    In Final Cut Pro X, when I select Import Media I can navigate to a folder where I have my camera archives on an external drive. But all archives are greyed out and when I try to double click them from the finder, Final Cut Pro X opens but it says it can't read the Final Cut Pro Camera Archive Format.
    Exact error:
    The document “camera-archive” [actual file name is different] could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “Final Cut Camera Archive” format.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    rMBP 15"
    Mountain Lion 10.8
    FCPX 10.06

      Do you have Final Cut Events, Projects AND the archive at root level? If so, try hiding the Project and Event folders inside some other folder. Then quit FCPX and restart, or start it up. I know that if you have project and event folders at root level and add a Private folder at root level all **** breaks loose (at least in my experience). I'm not sure that's the case with camera archives so if it's applicable, try the hiding and restart or startup.

  • The document "-" could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the "package" format.

    Hello.    
    I have been trying to open a Final Cut Pro project but I keep getting this notification (title). The internet does not seem to have any solutions (maybe because of how simple it is).
    I have had in on an external hard drive for a while.
    I am using FCP 10.0.9
    Is there anything I can do?
    Thanks,
    Jimmy Fox

    It sounds like you're trying to open an FCP library. FCP files are never backwards compatible. The library structure was first created in version 10.1, so 10.0.9 will not open it. You'd need to find out which version created the library.

    An EDL is just like a basic spreadsheet document that

  • HT201109 Why can't I open a final cut project from one computer in another computer?

    I'm using Final Cut Pro Trial. Why can't I open a final cut project from one computer in another computer? When I try to open the project on my desktop it doesn't recognize the format. Please help!

    I downloaded FCPX trial on my laptop as well as on my desktop. I did some editing on my laptop but I need to get the project I created on my laptop onto my desktop. When I import the project onto my desktop the videos are Red and they say "Missing File."

  • The document "2147483647-11-06 06_00_00.FinalCutCopy" could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files of this type.

    The document “2147483647-11-06 06_00_00.FinalCutCopy” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files of this type.
    I was importing media, and closed out of the media before stoping the media import. This is how the file saved on the hard drive.
    I need to get this file into a format that FCP can open. Is there a way to export a .FinalCutCopy file into a .mov file???
    Any insights would be VERY HELPFUL!

    I was able to figure it out. I renamed the file type to a .mov format and quicktime was able to open it. Then I saved that file format on the desktop, and imported in after I opened FCP. The file then imported and I was able to access the whole video clip I had! Thanks for your help!
