Can I open my final cut express projects in final cut pro X?

I need to get footage out of some of my final cut express projects and put them in final cut pro X, which I am now using. How do I do that?

You can export any movie from FCE to Quicktime, and use it in FCP X. If you export using ProRes 422 codec it will already optimized for FCP X.
What you can't do is use the FCE projects themselves in FCP X.

    How can I open Final Cut Express project in Final Cut Pro X?

    If you export the project from FCE you can import the QuickTime into FCP. You can do limited work to it like adding titles.

  • FAQ: Can I open my Adobe Premiere Clip project in Adobe Premiere Pro?

    Yes. When you are ready to export your project to Premiere Pro, begin by tapping the share button in the upper right corner of your screen. Next, simply tap the Edit in Premiere Pro button. Within a few minutes, this will send your project and media to your Creative Cloud folder. Open up Premiere Pro on your computer, and from the Welcome Screen select the option to “Convert Premiere Clip Project” under the “New” heading. Next, choose the project XML file you wish to continue editing in Premiere Pro. All of your project edits will show up in your Premiere Pro timeline, making it easy to continue working.

    Since PrPro project is an XML file, you can open it up in any script editor (e.g. Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit) or even text editor, in fourth line find Version="25"
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <PremiereData Version="3">
         <Project ObjectRef="1"/>
         <Project ObjectID="1" ClassID="62ad66dd-0dcd-42da-a660-6d8fbde94876" Version="25">
    and replace it with Version="23".
    Although it works just fine most of the time, bear in mind: everything is at your own peril.

  • Will 7toX translate Final Cut Express projects to FCP X

    Does anyone know if the new 7toX application will translate Final Cut Express projects to Final Cut Pro X?

    So can you open a Final Cut Express project with Final Cut Pro 7, save that as XML, and then use 7toX?
    . . . I realize, of course, this won't help anybody who doesn't have FCP 7.

  • Starting a Final Cut Express project

    When I try to open a Final Cut Express project by double clicking on the logo of the project the operation fails and I get a notice: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -10660)". I can only open the project by clicking the alias of the application itself and open the project from within the application, which is much less convenient (sometimes another Final Cut Express project is first downloaded, which may take a lot of time).

    It is good practice to save & close your project(s) before you exit FCE, especially if you are working on more than one project.
    When you double click on your project file to open FCE, you are commanding FCE to start up & open the project you just double clicked - but since you didn't close your previous project, when FCE starts up it also attempts to open the previous project(s) at the same time ... and there is lots of potential for conflicts.

  • Importing Final Cut Express projects

    Hi,
    I cannot see how to importing my older Final Cut Express projects into Premiere Pro CS5. I know this can be done with Final Cut Pro via the XML format, but it seems that FCE does not export to XML. Does anybody know of alternative ways of exchanging data? Maybe, a file converter of any kind?
    Best regards,
    Paolo

    Yes, I have a couple of them, but they have their lives :-)
    I guess I can have their help, as soon as they can. In any case, being independant with this kind of things would be great.
    However, I guess that this conversion is to be done once, since I don't plan to downgrade to FCE again (unless Adobe stops developing Premiere for Mac again, or I end up with no money to buy the upgrades...)

  • Saving and removing a Final Cut Express Project (Smartly)

    I have finished a Final Cut Express project and would like to save and remove it from my external hard drive. What is the smartest way to do this so that in the event I ever want to go back and make changes to it I can do it easily?
    Thanks for any advice you can give.

    First, I'd like to say that I'm a pack rat. I have a couple video projects on my drives that I've not edited for three years. I just hate the thought of messing them up or letting go of them (there's probably medication for that) so I just let them sit there taking up precious space. I need to reform and hope you can help me.
    Where does one find a list of the project files that a project requires? Also, is the media only the clips that appear in the "browser" window or are they the rendered files, as well. Maybe the rendered files are the project files?
    Are all the media files located in the "capture" folder?
    If I understand you correctly, if the reels were properly named, with no time code errors, I can trash the media (BUT, of course, keep the master DV tapes) and only archive the project files. If I want to re-edit the project in anyway in the future, I'll need to re-import the video from the DV tapes using this scenario.
    If I don't want to have to re-import the raw footage from tape, can I back-up all the files on multiple DVDs using toast?
    Lastly, what do you do when you're finished with a project?
    Thanks,
    Stuart

    You can have them both on the same computer as I and many others have done for years.
    Just go ahead and install FCS 3 normally.
    There will be absolutely no problems.

  • Burning Final Cut Express Project using Toast

    How do I burn a Final Cut Express project using Toast? When I export a quicktime movie, even when it is "Self-Contained" and burn it in toast I only get sound with no picture. When I export it as a .mov I am assuming that will work, but it is taking 3 hours to export a 45 min video. Is there any other way or is iDVD my only option?

    The OS version I am using 10.4.10 which should show on my profile. My computer is a PowerPC G5 Dual 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM. The version of FCE is HD 3.5 and the version of Quicktime I beleive is 7.2. When I export I use Quicktime movie. I tried it with the self contained box checked and without and both did the same thing. I only got sound. When I export using Quicktime Conversion that's what takes over 3 hours. What is the difference by the way? It plays fine in Quicktime player and works fine with iDVD. I have burned quicktime files and WMF before with toast and it has worked fine. It's only when I export them from Final Cut Express that it doesn't work. I have also exported from iMovie as a full quality dv and it has worked.

  • Final Cut Express vs. Final Cut Express HD

    I am confused between Final Cut Express and the Final Cut Express HD. All the time I though I am using Final Cut Express HD version 4.0.1 which should be capable to capture HDV tapes (to my understanding) until lately I try to capture a tape shoot by a HDV camera (miniDV tape shoot by Canon) but was NOT successful. When I check back my application by opening a final cut project window >,About Final Cut Express, it shows I am using version 4.0.1, but I can’t capture the HDV tape shoot by the HDV camera. I went back to my application folder, I found I have 3 different Final Cut Express versions there which is including version 1.0.1 size 11.7 MB created Jan 25/03;version 3.0 size 160.3MB created Jan 25/05 (this version having HD wording at the end) and version 4.0.1 size 239.4MB was created Nov 6/07. Do I have to delete the version 1.0.1 and 3.0 to make the version 4.0.1 work well or something else in the system that I don't understand such as some kind of configuration should be set/change? Thank you in advance folks. By the way, some one can walk me through how to connect an old Mac 17” monitor to my new 27” iMac so that I can move the Canvas window over (I don’t know if it’s appropriate to ask this question here, if not, I apologize)? Thank you guys.

    Thank you Tom

  • Can i open mp3 in logic express?

    I want to make a remix of a track by cutting samples form it and looping certain bits etc.... is this possible in logic express?

    Hi,
    Can i open mp3 in logic express?
    When you import an MP3 file, Logic converts it into an AIFF file.
    (Logic does this because many functions, such as waveform display, sample accurate editing, and so on, would overtax the CPU if Logic had to constantly decode and re-encode the MP3 files in real time for each change or edit.)

    Yes.

  • I have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

    i have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

    FCE was discontinued nearly 3 years ago and is no longer supported.
    I don't know whether it's possible to install it on Mavericks and if you do it may not perform properly.
    Final Cut pro X and iMovie are the only Apple apps that are supported.
