Can I import projects from the full version of Final Cut Pro X from when I was using the trial version?

So I recently purchased the full edition of Final Cut Pro X, and was wondering why one of the projects I was working on at the time it expired imported back into FCP without asking me, but the other did not.  I really need to use this file, but it is in the format of .fcpproject, so I really don't understand why I am not able to use it.  It sometimes says when I try to open it that the version of that project was made in an updated version of FCP, or something to that affect, so it cannot be used.  I have no idea why it says this, because as far as I know that is un-true.  Any ideas?
Edit:  I also don't want to delete the trial yet, a little apprehensive, like maybe I need it.  But I might if it comes to that.  I suppose the time did run out so it is practically worth nothing...

You do not open fcpproject files. You don't double click or anything else. The files have to be in the correct folder structure in the Final Cut Projects folder and the application opens them automatically. Can you post screen shots of the Final Cut Projects folder and its location.

  • I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.

    Like the title says...
    I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.
    I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut.  I have had no luck.
    I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
    I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible.  I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
    However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
    Thank You for the Help

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...

    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • How can I import my xdcam files (Sony PMW200) into final cut pro

    Hi.
    I just got a Sony PMW200 but cannot figure how to import files into Final Cut Pro 6. I copied the SXS cards to my hard drive and am trying to figure out how to import it into Final Cut.
    I would really appreciate a little help.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi:
    If you own the material rights, you can use MPEG Streamclip to reencode to an editable format like DV.
    Hope that helps !

  • Final Cut Pro X crashes when adding transitions, throughout the entire program.

    I've had FCP X installed for a few weeks now, and I decided to hold back asking my question and see if anybody else is experiencing the same problems.
    I did find one matching problem on the discussions forum, but the user found a solution which I tried, and did it did not work.
    Everytime I try to add a very simple transition to my video in Final Cut Pro X, it gives me the spinning colorwheel, hesitates for a few seconds and then crashes.
      It only does it with transitions, I can add effects, adjust color, etc. but only when adding transitions does it crash.
    I've tried deleting events and original media, I've reimported using optimized media, I've tried both ways of keeping files in original locations and also copying to final cut events folder.
    The video I'm using is full 1080p mov files from a Canon 5D Mark II.
    It does it in the timeline as well as the secondary timeline.
    I've tried the solution that the previous asker did, which was copying the content to another FCP event, and it didn't work for me. Still crashes whether I try to drag the transition to my timeline, use the keyboard shortcut, or double click.
    I have a Early 2010 15 inch MBP i5 with 8gb of RAM running newest version of Snow Leopard.
    Hope I've provided enough information
    Thanks,
    -Jon

    Same Issue: Added a transition and then beach ball from **** and crash. Also lost two hours of work when it restarted and reverted to the last planned quit.
    FCPX is benched until Lion and updates. Don't have time to be a beta tester on what might end up being a hobbyists toy.

  • HT201237 Final Cut Pro 10.2 quitting unexpectedly while using the motionVFXmFlare plug-in.

    Hi guys
    Recently updated to FCPX 10.2 and now it keeps crashing with the error: Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly while using the motionVFXmFlare plug-in.
    I have contacted motionvfx about this, and I'm awaiting a response, but I thought I'd ask you guys if there's any way to revert to the previous version of the app for now since I can't use it at all right now and it's kind of important.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Steve Leach

    hi
    they updated their plugins for use in FCPX 10.2 and Motion 5.2. Boot up the mFlare software and it will prompt you to date.

  • When using Final Cut Pro X, how do I just use the audio from a video that I imported?

    I just want to use the sound from a video I imported. Is this possible? Thanks!

    Sure you can do this. Add the video to your project timeline. Right click the clip and select detach audio. Set in and out points for what you want to export and in the export settings choose audio only and select file encoder you want AIFF, CAF, MP3 etc.. This will give you an audio only Quicktime file which you can then import to FCP to use like any clip.

  • Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version

    Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version which I have now downloaded.

    The trial version is named "Final Cut Pro Trial" and the App Store version is called "Final Cut Pro".
    So, they can both be in the Applications folder at the same time, but only one can be open/launched at a time.
    If, for some reason, your trial is older (like version 10.0.4) that your newly purchased FCPX (should be 10.0.5), and you do not click Update to your events/Projects, they will NOT show in the bought version!
    Open the licensed FCPX and make sure it does update your things, in case it asks for it!

  • How do I continue editing a project from the trial version of final cut pro to the paid version

    I have been working on a project on the trial version of final cut pro x.  I  bought the full version even though my trial wasn't up yet.  When I opened the paid version my projects from the trial are not in there.  I also closed the trial and opening the paid version and my projects were still not there.  How do I get my projects to show in the paid version?

         I have a 'similar' problem, but your advice above does not work (or does not seem to work).  My Trail version of Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 expired before I completed my first/only movie project. 
         I purchased FCP yesterday.  Now I want to "import" the video files and the movie project (not sure if that's the correct terminology - I am still a newbie) into FCP 10.1.1 -  Please advise?

  • What are the steps for buying Final Cut Pro X and downloading a full version.i have a license certificate,but i cant be able to license the trial version

    How do i download a full version of Final Cut Pro.I have the license agreement with the serial numbers.but now i am unable to license the trial.What needs to be done here.I was sent the license agreement by our Head Office

    Do you refer to Final Cut Pro as part of The Final Cut Studio bundle?
    Or FCP X?
    The former has serial numbers, the later is a direct purchase from the Apple App Store and no serial number is required.

  • I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version?

    I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version? I ask because this is not an upgrade, but a completely new version.

    I'm with Jim on this.  It always seems to work out better if you do not install over another version.  You can use this app (freeware - thanks to Jon Chappel) to completely remove ALL Final Cut Studio apps and components: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    Once that's done, install your newly purchased version.
