Can I export my FCP X project directly into iDVD?

I have not yet purchased FCP X, but before I do, I want to make sure that I can import my FCP X project directly into iDVD along with chapter markers.  Thank you for your help. 

Yeah it's pretty straightforward- just a lot of export presets and you get a lot more than DVD making codecs. That said, if you want to just add chapters to a track you can always try something like this: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060119212015646

  • Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Win32 function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.

    Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory from a VI? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Call Library function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.
    The data is being received at 1Mbps.
    Thanks

    Two questions:
    One, if it's a serial card, then presumably it gives you more serial ports, like COM3, COM4, etc. If so, VISA would see the COM ports, and not the card directly. The drivers for the card should make it so that you see the extra serial ports from the OS. If you don't see the extra COM ports from VISA, then it sounds like the drivers for the card are not installed properly. Do the extra COM ports show up in Device Manager?
    Two, you said that you're using a Call Library function to get the data and you want to put it into system memory. Errr.... you just read the data and you have it in memory by definition. Are you saying you need a way to parse the data so it shows up on a graph or something?

  • I can't export or share my project.

    Okay, I am a beginner and trying my best. But right now my best is definately not good enough.
    I am using the 30-day trial of Final Cut Pro X with the latest updates. It's only limitation is the 30-day trial so I should be able to export and share my project.
    After I mark the project and then click on the share-symbol->export I get the following message: "This item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera." I have also tried file->share but that menu is in gray and I can't click the options. If I click on any of the clips in the events window I can export them but that's not what I want to do.
    I can't remove the trial and download it again since I can only download it once.
    I suspect it might have something to do with my organizing the clips and the original files. My originals are in a folder on the desktop and that is the location I import media from into Final Cut's events.
    If you have any ideas, please help me out.
    Sincerely,
    Edith

    Thanks for your fast reply!
    I had the copy to event function checked on. The folder is a regular folder that I created on my desktop. I have put other folders inside that folder, one of which is called "FILM" and contains 10 camera archive folders that the camera (Sony NEX-5N) created for me. That is how the footage was automatically uploaded onto my MacBook Pro. Each of the camera archive folders contains multiple clips.

  • How can I recover my FCP X project which I have lost?

  • How can I export/share events (not projects)?

    Hi,
    I would like to share my raw video footage-- "events" in iMovie-- with a colleague so she can use it for her own projects. At a one-to-one appointment last week, the trainer told me the only way to share it was to save it to an external hard drive. She said the hard drive would appear in the events window and then I could just drag the events onto the drive. I just bought a drive, plugged it in, and it appears in the events window, but iMovie won't let me drag the events onto it.  I can't figure out a way to move the events over to the hard drive. I'm not using Time Machine because I only want to copy the video footage and my colleague uses a PC.
    Help??  Thanks!

    Update: I reformated the hard drive to be just for Mac, and I could drag the events over.
    So is there a way to save the events to a hard drive formated for BOTH Macs and PCs?
    Thanks!

  • S.O.S. PLEASE!!!! I can't open my FCP X project after done a force quit!

    I've been working for 10 days in a project I must deliver tomorrow to a broadcast TV and I had to force quit the FCP X.
    Then...now, when I tried to open my project it simply the program doesn't open,
    When I remove this project from the FCPro project's folder the final cut opens well...but when I put the project back into the projects folder FCPro X doesn't open
    I need heplp!!!!

    Not sure this will make a difference, but give it a go.
    1. Try trashing the preferences.
    2. Making sure FCPX is closed, move the project from the projects folder in finder, restart FCPX and while it's still running, try dragging the project back to the projects folder.
    Like I said not sure it will make any difference, but worth trying anything at times lime this.

  • 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.

  • Problem - I can import from mailbox but not scan directly into PDF

    Hi guys,
    I hope you can help.
    I have a Xerox 7132 printer/scanner/copier which has been set up and working on a small office network for a while now. Recently two users of four have found they can no longer scan directly into Acrobat Standard 9 from the application. (The other two are fine and can do everything as before. One is using Acrobat Standard 9 and the other Pro X).The two who have the problem are able to scan to email. They can also scan (from the scanner) to a mail box. However if they stay at their machines and using Acrobat choose to create PDF - scan etc. etc. and then choose to hide native menu, when they click scan an error pops up which simply says - 'PARAMETER'. Not Bad parameter or anything else, just the one word - PARAMETER.
    I found a few bits and pieces on 'Bad Parameter' which state the fix as selecting the scanner. In this case the scanner is selected - 'Xerox Network Scanner'.
    I can ping and find the scanner. I can print to it. I can scan into a mailbox. I just lost functionality to print direct from the Acrobat Standard 9. I have to first  scan the item into a mailbox, and then import it into Acrobat.
    I'm running XP Pro SP3.
    Acrobat is version 9.5.2 and it is fully updated.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I can't tell you why the 3G isn't recognized by FCP and I have no way to test whether it's normal since I don't have access to that model. But just to suggest that you use Image Capture to bring the clips  into your computer and then import those into FCP. An extra step, but FWIW, that's the workflow I use for the 4S – even though it appears in the import window.
    As for your missing Desktop listing, I have experienced that and as I recall I trashed preferences and it reappeared. BTW, I assume shows properly in your Finder sidebar?

  • Fcp export in ntsc format and burn into IDVD

    i need help, when i export my fcp , i have set the settings for ntsc but in IDVD, when payed, it keeps jumping. although i did another one in pal, and things are ok, what setting do i have to put and also mpeg will work also or not. is pal regular in all the dvd players or ntsc?

    First, what is your sequence ntsc or pal? ntsc is the standard for north america. and pal is the rest of the world (for the most part). most pal players will play ntsc disks without a problem. and computers will play either pal or ntsc.
    You need to describe your workflow from shooting, thru capture, and editing. If you start with ntsc, stay with ntsc. If you start with pal, stay with pal. If you have pal material and need to create an ntsc dvd or vice-versa you need to do a standards conversion to your finished sequence.

  • How can I paste an MS Word document directly into gmail using Firefox browser, without losing all formatting?

    I'm trying to paste a simple MS Word doc directly into the body of a Gmail email, but all formatting goes out the window. I've tried downloading a couple different HTML editors, including CoffeeCup (which doesn't work with Firefox) and Firefox's own Firebug, which, quite frankly, no one on this end can figure out (doesn't seem to be as user friendly as CoffeeCup). Please advise, as this will be an ongoing operation which we'll need to be able to perform. Thanks.

    First, thanks for your reply. It's greatly appreciated. However, the level of your response fails to address the scope of the original question. Your first supposition is incorrect, that most MS Word docs copy uneventfully into the body of Gmail emails. This only applies to the most basic of MS Word docs (i.e., those utilizing minimal formatting, such as basic letters, etc.) and otherwise runs contrary to dozens of online complaints posted by users such as myself (though not on the Firefox website). Second, everyone knows you can add an attachment to Gmail emails. In this case, the recipient will not accept attachments of any kind, and has therefore asked that the content be copied directly into the email body. This is not uncommon in these cases. Third, the very nature of Notepad makes it unable to translate/interpret any documents beyond the most basic, hence its name: Notepad. Fourth, apparently this problem is rare or virtually non existent with other browsers, as all the complaints online appear to be Firefox related. Again, however, I appreciate you taking a stab at this.

  • Simple question: Can you input an array of strings directly into your plot legend instead of "Plot 0", "Plot 1"......?

    I have an array of channel names for a simple vi I wrote and I want to input them into the plot legend.  I typically use ring controls to allow different users to select what they want to see, but beyond 3 or 4 it gets confusing.  Is there a way to take an array of strings and input them directly into the legend string slots using a property node?  I have spent hours searching to no avail.
    Thanks!!

    Yes, of course there is! Try this:

  • Can I drop an IMovie Slideshow with music into IDVD?

    Hello,
    I created (and it took a long time) a slideshow with music using IMovie. Now I want to burn it to a DVD and am realizing I need to put it into IDVD. I saved it to my desktop and then dropped it into the IDVD Magic program but it does not save the slideshow. Or if it does, I can't seem to figure out how to play it. I also can't figure out how to choose the picture for the IDVD theme page. Any help with how to burn my IMovie slideshow on a DVD using either IDVD or some other way, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Or if it does, I can't seem to figure out how to play it.
    Click on the "Preview" button in the bottom left corner of the iDVD window. For more details go to iDVD Help: >_Making a Magic iDVD_
    I also can't figure out how to choose the picture for the IDVD theme page.
    Once you have added your slideshowGo to Help: _Adding images and movies to drop zones_
    Any help with how to burn my IMovie slideshow on a DVD using either IDVD or some other way, would be greatly appreciated.
    I am not familiar with the workings Magic DVD, but if you have already created the slideshow, it might be just as easy to follow the regular route in making this project. If you wish to try this, follow these steps.
    1. Open iDVD, select to create a new project, and name it.
    2. Select the theme.
    3. Import your slideshow into iDVD. Go to your movies folder (or wherever your project is saved), and drag the iMovie icon (the one with the star) to the window of your iDVD project. Avoid drop zones.
    4. You can add photos to the drop zones by clicking on the "Media" Button in the bottom right corner, and then on "Photos". Just drag and drop the photos to their desired location.
    5. Preview by clicking on the triangle at the bottom of the window.
    6. When you are ready to burn, first go to File>Save as disk image. This will allow you to have a final check of your project before burning to DVD. You can see how this project will actually play when played on a regular DVD player. If everything is fine, you can then burn the DVD using Disk Utility.
    I hope this helps.

  • Size of imovie project & importing into idvd

    So I would like to transfer my imovie project into idvd with minimal quality degradation. Does the quality progressively get worse once the project goes beyond 4.6 G? What is the maximum size that can go into idvd?
    Also, I had difficulty importing AVI clips into imovie. I received and "unknown error" msg when I tried.
    Finally, can I add other data to the dvd besides the movie (i.e. spreadsheet)?
    Any help on any of these questions would be awesome.

    c4daisy,
    The length of your movie is the determining factor when encoding a DVD with iDVD. The file size doesn't matter.
    You can fit about 2 hours of video on a DVD.
    What is the source of your AVI clips? Can you open them with QuickTime?
    Yes, you can add use iDVD to add file to a DVD-ROM section of DVDs you create.

  • Can I burn an iMovie 11 project directly to a DVD without using iDVD?

    Is it possible, after finalizing an iMovie project, to burn it directly from iMovie 11 to a DVD without first exporting it to iDVD?
    The project consists of old Super 8 movies that were digitized and imported into iMovie 11, so the quality doesn't start out very well; I don't want the quality to get any worse. I am looking for a quick way to share this file with family members who only have a DVD player.
    Looking for answers quickly, as we just finished the project and my daughter want my daughter, who is leaving tomorrow a.m. to return home, to take it with her. Thanks for any help.

    If your movie is less than about 13 minutes, and you want super quality, forget iDVD. I found a way to create a super high-quality .mov file that fits on a DVD and you can burn it yourself, and anyone can play it.  If you're willing to live with a slightly degraded version, you can put a 106-minute video on a DVD, and it'll look just fine to a group sitting in a room.
    Having slogged my way through iMovie’s “Help,” online Apple Help and numerous blogs like this one with solutions that were frustratingly varied, hard to follow and even outright contradictory, I gave up and did my own methodical tests to see which combination of options and settings yielded the best result for creating a file on my desktop that can be shared.
    Here’s what I worked with:  I have a four-minute movie created in iMovie ’11, with nice titles and credits that fade in and out, and one-second cross dissolves in the film.  The movie is 3x4 aspect ratio, not letterbox.  Looks smooth and clean as can be in iMovie, full screen.  (If it matters, I am working on a Mac OS 10.6.8; Processor 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-core Intel Xeon; Memory 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.  I don’t see any “RAM” numbers for my computer.)
    Tried exporting through Quicktime and not exporting through Quicktime. Most settings resulted in titles that were either fuzzy or were not clean and smooth during the fades, and often videos that were choppy and would freeze every second or so. Some had clean imagery and would play fine but got very pixilated during transitions (dissolves).  Some that were much larger (higher megabyte numbers) and took longer to  generate the file were actually of lower quality.  Go figure.
    Of all the tests I did, the best results came from doing the following. Here are two options:
    For a small, convenient file that came to only 176 MB for my 4-minute movie, if you’re willing to live with some very slight image degradation and titles that show some slight compression during fades -- but looks perfect from across a room:
    1)  Share > Export using Quicktime > “Export: Movie to Quicktime” / “Use: Most Recent Settings”
    2)  Click “Options”
    3)  Click “Settings”
    4)  Compression: MPEG-4 Video
    5)  Frame Rate: Current
    6)  Key Frames: Every 24 frames
    7)  Frame Reordering -- unchecked
    8)  Compressor Quality: Best
    9)  Data Rate: “Restrict to 6400 kbits/sec”
    10)  Click “OK” and return to “Movie Settings”
    11)  Ignore “Filter” unless you want to alter the look of your video.
    12)  Adjust “Size” accordingly to your wishes. I clicked it, then selected “1920 x 1080 HD” and checked “Preserve aspect ratio using: Fit within dimensions.” This results in an image 1440 x 1080 (to fit within 1920 x 1080).  Remember that if you don’t preserve your original aspect ratio you’ll get a larger/wider movie, but the top and bottom of your image will be cut off.
    13)  If your video is silent, make sure “Sound” is unchecked. I read somewhere that this speeds up the file-creating process.
    14)  Hit “OK”
    15)  Be sure to check where you want your file to appear. I chose “Desktop.”
    16)  Hit “Save”
    That’s it!  In my case, after about six minutes, I had a “.mov” file on my desktop that anyone can easily play (people may have to have Quicktime, though, as I understand it, but I believe that’s a free download; you do NOT need Quicktime Pro which costs $).  I uploaded the file to a file-sharing site (Hightail) for others to download, and, testing it, it took me only a few moments to download (I have a FiOS fiber-optic connection, so if you don’t, it will likely take a little longer).  The downloaded file played perfectly and suffered no degradation whatever from the one I generated to my desktop from iMovie.
    For a super high-res version, if you’re willing to live with the size, the ONLY difference is No. 9: Change your Data Rate to “Automatic.”  But as mentioned in the beginning, a standard DVD-R will only hold about 13 minutes of footage at this quality.
    Oddly, this super-quality version took about the same six minutes to generate the desktop .mov file, but the resulting 1.44 GB file is far, far superior.  You’ll be thrilled with the result! 
    The only downside –– to all of the file tests I did –– is that there is a slight loss of color saturation and contrast from the original iMovie imagery I worked with, particularly with the reds and oranges which become a bit muted.  The blacks/darks came up a bit, yielding slightly less contrast.  But these drawbacks are minor, to me.
    If someone knows of a way to preserve the exact original color saturation and contrast, I’m all ears.

  • Aliasing font/titles upon export from FCP and projecting with NTSC system

    My opening credits are in geneva, size 25pt. I have a transparent background so I can super them into Final Cut Pro. In FCP some of them are over images, some are not (opening credits for example. They import fine, I've rendered FCP, exported it into mp4, then into a DVD program. Upon watching in a large room, the smaller fonts (especially) waver, have rainbows, and are not stable. I hear this is called aliasing? How to prevent? Should I put the titled over slug in FCP? Should I have 10% opacity on my background? Add a shadow? Recently I've tried grey font instead of white...no luck. On an NTSC monitor, I get the same thing. Thanks for help on this one. Jen Mac

    You can try a few things.
    Use the 3-way color corrector in FCP to bring the white levels under 90%.
    If all your text is on the same horizontal plane make sure it's on an even number
    Add a .25 blur to the graphics
    use the de-interlace filter
