NO, FCPX is a new software you have to buy it from AppStore. No upgrade. You can download a Trial version.

Is there a way i can recover work from FCP 10 trial?

I recently purchased FCP 10, but I did a project on the trial version and have footage that I need but the trial has expired. Is there anyway I can recover it from the purchased version?

Do you still have the trial version? What version of the software was it? Some countries, until recently, still were giving an older version as the trial version. The current version is 10.1.1. If your trial version was 10.0.8 or 10.0.9, when you open the current version you will have to update the projects and events from the File menu.

Can I upgrade from FCP X 10.0.5 to 10.0.7?

I have FCPX 10.0.5 and want to upgrade to 10.0.7
Software Update says all my software is up to date.
My computer is MBP 17", 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM, OSX 10.6.8
Are there FCPX advantages in going to OSX 10.8?

Yes to the first. Is the application in your purchased page on the App Store?
There is no benefit for FCP to update to Mountain Lion, though your computer mat generally run better.

What arrow?
Have you tried opening the file in FCP?
If there is no error message and it will not play in QT7, it is quite possible the file is corrupted. You will need to go back to the original project and re-export the file.

It is songs purchased from iTunes that you cannot convert...and that we cannot explain how to convert. Even though YOU might use it for legal purposes, such as temp music or demo reels, we still cannot explain how to bypass DRM on Apple's own site. Doing so would violate their rules.
BUT...if you have a CD of the music, getting songs is much easier:
#5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
Shane's Stock Answer #5:
To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
Sample size - 16 bit
Channels - Stereo
If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.

Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?

(1) Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?
(2) If not, can I convert with the help of Compressor 4 to make it to play in WMV?

No to both. You need third party software to create WMV. Telestream has tools for this.

Can't import from Sony XDCAM memory card to FCP 6

I can't import from Sony XDCAM memory card to FCP 6.01 HD. Am using Macbook Pro, 2 gig of RAM. This is my first time NOT using tape. I can copy the files off the memory card onto an external drive (to free up the card for pro crew's next day's shoot), but can't import either to FCP. Do I need to convert the files in some way before FCP can read them? Need to fix this problem fast as the crew are off to Nepal for 2 week shoot.

Laura,
First, I'm assuming that you're referring to the XDCAM EX. You'll need to install the FCP 6.0.2 upgrade, which contains the XDCAM EX codecs.
Second, You'll need to install the PDZK-P1 Transfer Application, and use that to import your EX clips into FCP. I just noticed that there is a new version available, 2.5.1 which is labeled specifically for Tiger/Leopard. I haven't tested this version yet, and will report back on any stability issues. We're currently running version 2.1.1, without many issues.

I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export in F4V or FLV format?

I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export in FLV format? Where do I find the list, which gives me all the details about it? Or is there only one output codec? Thanks

That's an excellent analogy. While FCP cannot export FLV. It is possible to do a very simple substitution. If you export a QuickTime movie using the .mov suffix with the H.264 codec, you can change it to FLV simply by changing the suffix to .flv. This is an acceptable format for Flash movies on most web sites, if that's where you're trying to go.

Can't export .flv from FCP!

Hello, I am new to these forums and to flash so any help is appreciated.
Here's my problem. I am trying to export a .flv from FCP. I know that I can't do it directly so I was able to get my hands on a copy of Flash CS4 from my boss. I installed it onto my computer but none of the export options have been updated to included the .flv option. I am pretty sure that I have to install a plugin or something but I am not sure what or where that info is?
Also, what will yield a better looking video? Exporting from FCP to Compressor? or Exporting a QT reference video and using Adobe Media Encoder?
Thanks for the help.

Perhaps we're just arguing about semantics, but the fact is that it will play successfully in the flash viewer and I have been delivering h264 files to webdesigners for the last 6 months which are simply renamed with the flv extension. And if this is what the OP needs to do, it will work for him. Do some searching here and you'll see this is common practice. If you look at what formats the last few iterations of the flash player will accept, you'll see h264 is fine.

I am trying to burn a .mov file from fcp xpress timeline to a dvd. The popup message I receive prior to inserting the dvd is that I need 20.05 gb of space available on dvd (a 1.25 min). How can I get this program onto a dvd that shows a max of 8.5gb?.

I can't see the Audio Waveforms in the timeline. No triangle button to click. Just switched from FCP. Help!?

I can't see the Audio Waveforms in the timeline. No triangle button to click. Just switched from FCP. Help!

When I click on the wrench or right click to customize the box, these are the options I'm given. I don't see waveform. I've edited in Adobe Audition for years, and see the waveform panels in all the Premiere Pro tutorials, am I missing something? (besides a brain?)

FCP effects won't unpack from files. Can access them from menu bar but on effects tab

I think you meant but "not" on effects tab. Were you able to before? Try trashing your preference files. you can do this by hand or use the free program, Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion.

Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

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?
