Can I export Final Cut Pro files to Final Cut Express?

Can I export Final Cut Pro files to Final Cut Express?

FCE only works with DV for standard definition and the Apple Intermediate Codec for HD. Most FCP projects cannot be opened in FCE.

  • Can Final Cut Express open Final Cut Pro files?

    I am wishing to edit a Final Cut Pro file that is saved to a hard drive, but I olny have Final Cut Express. Will I be able to open the Pro file with Final Cut EXpress? If not, is there any way I could open the file?

    I did this, as instructed, but when I got home to see if my FCE would open the file, it didn't even recognize it as a standard file. When I tried to force it, it just brought up an error message. I do have all the related media files on my drive. Anything I'm missing here? Thanks so much!

  • Can Final Cut Express edit Final Cut Pro files

    I have some Final Cut Pro files that I created while working for someone else, if I buy Final Cut Express, will I be able to open and edit them?
    There basic files, nothing real fancy if that matters...
    Thanks!
    R-

    Officially no. It may work, but you're rolling the dice. The newer the version of FCP the less likely it is to work.

  • I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do

    I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do?- I really need help!

    It sounds as though you have a corrupt project - or possibly a file within an event that is causing the application to crash.
    Quit FCP X, then move your projects and events (if you have any) to new folders so that FCP X doesn't find them, then relaunch the application. If it launches OK, there's a very good chance one of your projects or events is causing the problem.
    Quit the app again, then move one event or project at a time back to the original folder and launch FCP X again - keep going until you find the cause.

  • Can you upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with upgrade?

    Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with $699 upgrade?
    I purchased Final Cut Pro 2 years back and then purchased the Final Cut Pro 3 upgrade. I have not used it in years, but now I want to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. Is this possible by just purchasing the upgrade?

    Apple's web page has the requirements:
    http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearnMo re=MA886Z/A
    The $699.00 upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.

  • Xml tag defaults to Final Cut Pro file

    I seem to be noticing that anything that is downloaded onto my Mac with an xml tag, ends up defaulting to a Final Cut Pro file. This has occurred on everything from music files, docs and pics, past and present.
    Where and How do i change that (fix/correct) for all current and future files?
    mac Mini Intel Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Maxplanar, Thanks!!
    never thought to just rename to .mov, it's always the simplest thing! i recently learnt about .dmg to .iso in certain cases, i never thought a simple suffix change like this would be the solution, just assumed FCP quicktime files were FC read only!
    Many Thanks for the help, it should all be straightforward from now on!! as straightforward as any typical PAL > NTSC Conversion is anyway!!
    Cheers!

  • HT200166 Can I upgrade fromFinal Cut Pro 7 to Final Cut Pro X

    Can I upgrade from Final Cut Pro 7 to Final Cut Pro X ?

    Two more important tidbits of information:
    1) There is a free trial of FCP X, that is fully functional for 30 days, so you can try it out and learn the ropes before you buy.
    2) In case you want to bring in some old projects cut in 7, and work on them in X, you are going to need a tool called 7toX to convert them.

  • Hello- I have final cut pro X and final cut studio.  Should Compressor 3.5.3 work with fcpX.  Whne I try to export to it aI am told I must go to i-apps and buy compressor.

    Hello- I have final cut pro X and final cut studio.  Should Compressor 3.5.3 work with fcpX.  When I try to export to it aI am told I must go to i-apps and buy compressor.

    No, FCP X will only work with Compressor 4.

  • Importing final cut pro 7 to final cut X using XML

    OK so I just read Apple's new FAQ and it says support for XML is forthcoming. Couldn't someone enterprising individual   just write an app which transforms FCXML from FCP 7 to FCP X XML. There could be some data loss, but better than nothing..

    the black sun wrote:
    But they have said they will not be supporting import of FCP 7 projects. Sad but true.
    Factually incorrect. Sad but true.
    Tell me what is factually incorrect? There is absolutely no mention or commitment to providing any sort of tool to bring in final cut pro 7 projects in any shape or form. They could have said "a limited import tool is being worked on, but will only support a limited feature set, and data loss/changes to your project may occur." But they didn't. Here's the exact quote from Apple's FAQ (emphasis added):
    Can I import projects from Final Cut Pro 7 into Final Cut Pro X?
    Final Cut Pro X includes an all-new project architecture structured around a trackless timeline and connected clips. In addition, Final Cut Pro X features new and redesigned audio effects, video effects, and color grading tools. Because of these changes, there is no way to “translate” or bring in old projects without changing or losing data. But if you’re already working with Final Cut Pro 7, you can continue to do so after installing Final Cut Pro X, and Final Cut Pro 7 will work with Mac OS X Lion. You can also import your media files from previous versions into Final Cut Pro X.

  • Final Cut Pro 7 vs Final Cut Pro X

    I was told that Final Cut Pro X was terrible by pretty much everyone, including my teacher in my film class. I just got a macbook pro and I need a solid editing software. What is the big difference between Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro X? Is Final Cut Pro 7 still available for purchase?

    FCX isn't aweful, it's just different. Older people (like me) who've been editing for a while and have gotten used to ways of doing things don't like it much because it's completely different in it's approach. Not ALL us older types are against it...but a lot. But it isn't horrible...it is perfect for a lot of editing jobs. It's fast, it's easy...it does a lot of what many people need done. But there are tasks that some editors like myself need to do that it just doesn't do...so we don't use it.
    HOW is it different? There are lots of tutorials out there for it, so find them and watch and see.  Pretty different. Too much to go into. But I assume that you are new to this whole thing, so you don't even know how FCP 7 works....so you don't know how it's different.  It's a lot to ask for in a forum post.  It doesn't capture tape from non-firewire devices, for one. No biggie if you shoot tapeless and deliver tapeless, but I still work in a world where tape is very much alive.
    FCP 7 was discontined over 2 years ago...only placed you can buy it are eBay and Craigslist and places like that. But I wouldn't suggest investing in discontinued, old software.  Adobe PRemiere Pro and Avid are viable alternatives.  But I wouldn't discount FCX...it might work great for you. I hear people just starting out editing find it amazing.

  • How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

    how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

    Hello,
      To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
      The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

  • Final cut pro 7 and final cut pro x

    Is it wise to move from final cut pro 7 to final cut pro x for me who is already using fcp7 with no problems?

    I think you should at least download the free FCPX trial and try it, for sure.  I've edited in FCP since it came out and when I really tried earnestly to learn X, after a week or two, I was really impressed.  The reasons are numerous, but one of the big improvements is speed.  FCPX is very fast at handling video, all kinds.
    If you know FCP7 well, then you will already understand the importance of many aspects that apply to any HD NLE, such as drive speed, sufficient drive space, (external w/fast language, Thunderbolt, USB3 or at least FW800) etc., but also there will be a kind of learning curve to the different way FCPX organizes, maybe more of a learning wall.  But it's too much to lay on you in this reply - suffice to say I think you will love X.  Especially if you really stop to learn it.  It really is nice, and often receives completely unfair criticism.

  • How can I export to a .sfw file? it does not give me the option in FILE EXPORT.

    how can I export to a .sfw file? it does not give me the option in FILE > EXPORT. I have Flash installed and everthing.

    The feature to export SWF files directly from After Effects has been removed. It never worked at all well.
    To create SWF files, use Flash Professional.
    If you want to play a movie that you've created in After Effects in a SWF container, then export your composition using Adobe Media Encoder in H.264 format and then link or embed that movie into a SWF file in Flash Professional.
