Can I export from Final Cut Pro X to iDVD?

Switched to FCP X because iMovie was breaking down. Question: can I export my finished project to iDVD?

1920x1080, 29.97fps, Stereo, 48kHZ
Is that all you might need to know? If not, just me know. I'm not sure how to find out any more info. Sorry, I'm not too tech savvy.
Thanks.

  • I export from final cut pro 7 to idvd everything comes out fuzzy on the dvd

    I film using a canon fs10. I edit in final cut pro 7, then export to quicktime format, then I burn the dvd using idvd. But the final product always comes out blurry and fuzzy. I can't see what I am doing wrong. Is it because I am not filming in HD?

    Using iMovie, for one, is capturing your files to a codec other than one FCP wants to work with. You would be better off dragging and dropping the files from the camera to a folder on an external drive and converting the footage with MPEG Streamclip to whatever codec you want to work in.
    Using iDVD to compress and author the dvd takes away any control you have over the compression settings for the project.
    You'd be well off getting a FCP training book from someplace like Peachpit Press, or a training dvd from someone here or out there who produces them.

  • Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    It doesn't seem to work on mine, when I go to command: the export button is in grey, whereas all the others (import; customize) are black and can be actionned. Is this a restriction in the trial version or is there a way to activate export?
    Thanks

    Most FCP users export them in a high-effeciency distribution/delivery compression format (e,g,, H.264/AAC) targeted for a particular application and/or device. For example, you could export using H.264/AAC at full display resolution for playback in the QT Player at an appropriate data rate if your platform and display can handle the output. TV would limid the video to 960x540 at 30/29.97 fps and normal AAC audio to 160 kbps at 48.0 KHz. Files exported for display an the Internet would be restricted by the bandwidth being targeted. Etc, etc, etc. Unless the file will only be played on your own platform, what you do not want to do is use an FCP only compression format which would limit viewers to those recipients have the same FCP codecs installed.

    There never was a trial version of FCP7. The application was only ever sold as part of the Final Cut Studio suite of applications. You might still find copies on eBay.

  • Problem exporting from final cut pro to compressor

    Hi,
    I'm trying to export to compressor from Final cut pro, but every time i do so, I keep getting the same error message 'Selection contains no media' but it does. It will export to Quicktime fine. I'm only trying to export to compressor so I can save it as an mp2 file.
    I'm using FCP V5.0.4
    Compressor V2.0.1
    Mac OS X V10.4.8
    Also on previous versions of FC I could output to Mp2 and it would include the chaper markers, my last sucessfull project, it did not.
    Any help would be greatfully recieved.

  • Exporting From Final Cut Pro 5.0

    Hello,
    I need to export my work from Final Cut Pro 5.0 to a Quicktime Movie with the following settings -
    Compression: H.264
    Frame Rate: 15fps
    Bit Rate: 200k
    Is this posible without loosing the quality of the video footage? The footage was capture from a MiniDV tape.

    If you want full resolution 640 x 480 then 200Kbps isn't going to look very good. As a guide you can note that Apple is using about 600Kbps to encode the iTunes video content and that has a resolution of only 320 x 240. However, since you're only using a frame rate of 15fps you should be able to produce good looking content at just over 1Mbps for 640 x 480.
    Of course, it does depend upon the nature of your source video (the subject). Simple "talking head" shots could go lower, while rapid action material might need considerably more than 1Mbps (along with a higher frame rate).

  • FLV Export From Final Cut Pro

    Hi Folks,
    I've been reading and reading and just want to know what is
    the right way to go about exporting video from a third party
    application like Final Cut Pro. Yes, the easy way is to
    Export>quicktime conversion and go from there. If this is the
    best way then great, But i'm wondering if exporting as a lossless
    quicktime codec such as the Video codec or the Anitmation codec
    would be a better choice then go to the flash video encoder with
    the lossless file. I heard that exporting straight out of FCP could
    be bad as the video needs to be deinterlaced before the flv stage.
    If this is the case, what are the best settings when
    exporting a lossless quicktime file? There are about 6 setting s
    that need to be set and I haven't a clue what would be the right
    settings.
    If exporting from final cut straight to flv, are you folks
    dropping the frame rate to 15 fps(cutting your frames in half). Is
    this working better for you?
    Well thanks for all your help, I keep on testing short clips
    and can't seem to find a any certain configuration that i really
    like.
    hanks so much for all your help.
    todd

    Todd ..
    We do quite a bit of video / flv work.
    Our editing software is VEGAS so unfortunately we can't
    render directly to flv .. but avi->flv via Sorenson Squeeze.
    If Final Cut allows rendering directly to flv, my
    recommedation would be to use that functionallity. Caveats .. if
    the encoder can 1. deinterlace i.e. progressive scan. 2. reduce
    your framerate from 29. to 15. 3. gives you the ability to control
    # of key frames.
    The logic being .. use the fewest number of encoding methods
    to get from source to output to maintain best quality.

  • How can I upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4  to 10.0.7

    I need to upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 to 10.0.7 but can not find how to do this. Can anybody help?
    Thanks.

         You might do some web searching on "FCPx  torrent ".  I would think that if you have a legitimate copy of FCPx there would be no legal/moral issue with pulling down a 10.0.7 version via bittorrent, but I'm not a lawyer. And of course there are other issues relating to such software but as Tom implies, you can't get an older version from Apple so you'll have to find somebody, somewhere with a 10.0.7 copy that you can install.

  • 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.

  • Exporting from Final Cut Pro

    Hi I have shot a show that ran for 2 hours. I have edited and now just need to know how I should export it and what format so it can fit on a dvd. I will be using iDVD 5 for the menus, and I am under the impression iDVD 5 doesnt support mpeg 2 files. So i need another way to export from Final Cut and then put it in iDVD 5 then onto a dvd.

    I'm afraid I've mis-stated some information, and I apologize.
    First, you would need to select 'best QUALITY' for anything over 60 minutes.
    Generally iDVD5 should successfully create a 90 minute DVD. It is supposed to be able to create up to 2hours of content, but that would include all media creation items, including movie file(s), motion menus, drop zones, music...etc.
    I had come across a link that discussed creating longer DVDs in iDVD, but it works with iMovie and is not totally relevant to this forum.
    Again I apologize, but if it interests you, here is the link...

  • Exporting from Final Cut Pro for DVD Studio Pro

    In the recent DVDs I've made, the quality seems lower than it has before. I don't think I've changed anything, but I was wondering what is the best format to export a clip from Final Cut Pro and the best way to encode those clips in DVD Studio Pro. Thanks for all your help!
    Erin

    The best and only format is mpeg2/m2v.
    The encoding rate for video is based on the length of the sequence in h/m/s.
    They should not be encoded in DVDSP, but exported as a self contained with current settings, no recompression and dropped into Compressor.
    Based on length and the type of footage, elect a preset for video and elect Dolby 2 for audio
