Can I import a segment from FCP or FCS into FCE4?

So, my filmmaking partner has FCS and FCP. I have FCE 4. We have cloned the drive that holds the entire film, but I want to take that drive and work on the film. Is it possible in any way for me to import the project (or sequences) into FCE 4?
An output to Qktm file at full-res would take up 9.5G/min and its a 90 min film project.
Other suggestions would be much welcomed.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
You can open FCE projects in FCP, but not the reverse. You can, as you suggest, export QT from FCP and then import the QT file into FCE, work, then export from FCE to QT, import back into FCP, etc. Not an elegant workflow, but doable.
Would it be possible for you to work on smaller chunks individually so you're not continually exporting and importing all 90 minutes?

    Can someone help me?

    Could it be the case that you have "proxy media" selected in the preferences (under Final Cut Pro -> Preferences, click on "Playback" and see which is selected, proxy or optimized), BUT you are not creating proxy media when importing?
    If that is the case, either
      - switch to "original/optimized media",
    or
      - create the proxy media (control-click the clip(s) in the event browser, choose "Transcode media" e check the box for "create proxy media").

  • Can you import the video from an AVCHD Disc into FCP7  for editing?

    Can the video from an AVCHD Disc be imported into FCP 7 for re-editing if you have a normal Superdrive burner?
    The reason I ask is because last night our film-making club gave a show of short videos to some guests.
    At the end it was decided to put them all on one DVD to send to the visitors as a memento.
    However, some of the films were on AVCHD discs and I queried whether they could be copied, even in standard definition.
    The "copier" said it was no problem as he had a PC and had done it before . . . . . cheeky devil!
    So can it be done . . . . . on a PC or a Mac . . . . with a standard burner?
    I have just tried but nothing in the BDMV folder can be imported.

    GOT IT!
    Copy the BDMV folder from the AVCHD disc to the desktop.
    Use HandBrake to convert the .m2ts files to H.264
    Then convert the H.264 files to an editable format.
    Rather convoluted process but it works.
    Anyone know a better method?

  • Can I import email addresses from a contact group into a new email?

    Import email addresses?  I'm trying to send an electronic invitation to a group of about 50 people.  I have to enter each of their email addresses, and rather than typing them one by one, I'm wondering if I can import all of their email addresses from a group I created in my Address Book.  I'm sending the invitation through the company's website, nut my email, so the email address does not appear when I start typing their names.  Thanks!

    Open a new message and start typing the groups name in the 'To' field works for me. Some e-mail providers have limits on how many addressees can be in one e-mail.

  • Can't import Cr2 files from my Canon 60D into LR5

    I took a trip to New Zealand and I shot in Raw +low res jpeg.  I uploaded the files to my little Asus tablet I had purchased right before my trip because I was running out of SD cards.  This is the only place I have quite a few images as I formatted the cards to reuse them.  I have transferred them to an external hard drive with no problem and then to my main PC which has LR5.  It doesn't seem to 'see them' when I try to import.  Any ideas? I tried opening one of the images directly into Photoshop CS6 and then I saved it as a jpeg file - then I was able to import it into LR, but I have 100's of photos and not sure I can do a bunch at a time, but at least all is not lost.  Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

    When you say "grayed out" do you mean a gray area instead of a thumbnail as can happen when the monitor profile is bad or do you mean the thumbnail is dim and washed out to indicate an image that cannot be selected as they would be if they had already been imported into the catalog?
    You talk about shooting RAW+(low-res)JPG but no where to you talk about what happened to those JPGs.   Did the JPGs remain on the tablet when you transferred things to the external hard drive prior to attempting to import or are they on the external hard-drive, too?  Are you importing them along with the raw files, but have Treat RAW+JPG as separate files unchecked, so the JPGs have become the sidecar file to the CR2s?   The size of the companion JPGs shouldn't matter as far as what happens with the CR2 files when you work with them.  They take up space on the card and the tablet memory but I guess you wanted them so you could review your pictures on the tablet since the CR2 files are not processable on the tablet so wouldn't be visible.
    Have you imported your camera's raw files into LR before?  What is different this time from previous times, the source of the files, or the fact the files were on a tablet, or that there were companion JPGs, or the type of import is different because you usually import direct from the card?   What type of import did you do, Add, because the files are supposed to stay on the external drive as the normal place for your images, or Move (or Copy) because the photos end up on an internal drive, normally?
    When you open the JPGs in Photoshop, do they first open in Camera Raw or do you not see the ACR plug-in and they open straight in Photoshop?
    When you say the saved JPGs out of Photoshop are 1/5th the size, do you mean pixel-dimensions size where a normal 4000x3000 image becomes 800x600, or that the file-on-disk size is of the CR2 files is 25MB but the JPG is only 5MB on disk?  Images don't just become smaller in pixel dimensions without a resize happening, and it is perfectly normal for a JPG file to be much smaller on disk than the original raw file, since JPG files use lossy compression. 
    The imprecision of terms "grayed out" and "size" is confusing to me.  I worry that somehow you don't have any CR2 files, only small JPGs, or that the CR2 files became corrupted because they were put on the tablet since you've never done that before.  Can you provide an example CR2 file, uploading to www.dropbox.com and post a public download link, here--a file that you don't mind others seeing, just so it can be checked for corruption?

  • How can I import my mails from my google account into iCloud?

    Hello,
    my plan is to switch from google to iCloud with all my mails, contacts and calender. I think contacts and calender will not be the problem to import in iCloud but how can I realise the import of my mails?
    After the move I should be able to send emails with my gmail adress too. Hopefully it is possible.
    Thanks for your support, kind regards

    You cannot send using iCloud's outgoing server with anything other than your iCloud address as the 'From' address: and iCloud cannot access your Gmail messages, though you could set up forwarding at Gmail to iCloud if that's what you want to do.
    If you really want to upload messages to iCloud it's easiest to do this in the Mail application: simply select some of the messages (don't try to do a large number at once) and drag them to the iCloud mailbox you want them to land up in. Wait for them to upload - it could take some time - and don't try to do any more until the process has completed.

  • PSE-10 how do I import and copy from external hard drive into organizer

    Can I import and copy from external hard drive into organizer? Under Get Photos, I select import  from folders/files but after browsing to the external hard drive the copy option is disabled/greyed out. I there a method to import and copy?

    That would be mounted as an internal drive and hence the corresponding option is not checked during Import.
    Once you import the media form this drive, you can select all and go for File >> Copy/Move files option and copy them wherever you want to.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

    How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
    I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
    Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation.  I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times.  All hard drive will eventually fail.  It's a question of when, not if.
    I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files.  You can try importing these directly into fcp.
    If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
    http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
    or
    Magic Bullet Grinder
    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
    But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy.  HDV is a problematic format.  Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

  • Can you import video directly from a video camera ?

    Can you import video directly from a video camera to the iPad 2 ? If so, what is needed?

    I would say no. I have an Ipad2 with the connection kit. A recent Sony camera which works fine in imovie for my 27" imac, but nothing with the Ipad. Only thing that it finds are pictures that can be made with the same video camera. Apple wrote a note aboit probkmes with importing, but i'm very disappointed with what i have right now.

  • I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

    I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1.  Does Sony offer a plug in?

    I shoot fishing footage of big catches.  Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i.  It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab.  Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames.  Thank you again for your reply. 

  • Can I import movies originating from video's that were put on a DVD import in IMovie?, Can I import movies originating from video's that were put on a DVD import in IMovie?

    Can I import movies originating from video's that were put on a DVD import into IMovie?

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law

    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • Can't import .mov files from my camera into iPhoto

    I am not able to import .mov files from my kodak camera into iPhoto. It says the file is not readable. Also, if there are any photos after the video file, those are said to be unreadable too, even if I select just the photots for import. I tried to import the .mov file with image capture as well, and that gave me an import error also. I can view the file fine on my camera and iPhoto and image capture both will give me the properties of the video file but will not import. I have imported .miv files before with no trouble. I have tried several different files with the same results. Even tried different memory cards. Not sure how to get this file on my computer or why there is a problem all of the sudden.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    What model of Kodak is it?
    There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
    Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can't import some photos from iPhoto to iPad

    I can't import some jpg from iPhoto to iPad. It gives me an error message that the photo can't be displayed on an iPad. There also doesn't seem to be a way to reformat them in iPhoto. They are just jpegs downloaded from a digital camera.

    Deleting the photo cache from the computer and then re-trying the photo sync has worked for some people - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is described on this page
