Can't open a video after final cut export.

Very strange issue which getting me nuts.
I've FCP 7 on Lion.
I'm finishing a project and export it as it is on an external hard drive for back up.
I've got a .MOV file.
After that I'm making an other folder and export all the working file from FCP.
End of the story.
Later I want to open the Quic time video file... and then I've got an error message telling me that QT is looking for data of the video file "xyz-FIN-0000000e"
There is only a STOP button.
If I press it I've got a new error message telling me :
The file "xyz-FIN-0000000e" can't be found. Without it the video can't be play correctly"
(I'm translating the message from my french system)
So I can find sometimes the files is asking from the other folder (the FCP back up files) and then it open it...).
But WHY does the video file needs reference files ?
It was an export and I ask the exporter to make a self movie...
Realy I don't understand what's wrong.
Any cue ?
Thanks !

Since you end up with MOV files, it sounds like you may be using the "Export/QuickTime Movie..." option. If you then fail to set the "Make Movie Self-Contained" option, any content not specifically transcoded/rendered during the editing process will not be copied to the target file and will instead reference the source file containing the original unaltered data. To ensure your export files are non-dependent, simply check the "Make Movie Self-Contained" box option and all data will be copied to the new file but, depending on the length of your project, may take additional time to create the target export file.

PLZ HOW I CAN T USE THE COMPRESSOR AFTER FINAL CUT PRO X WHY???????

HOW I CAN EXPORT MY VIDEO FROM FINAL CUT PRO X TO COMPRESSOR TO YOUTUBE???

You don't need to use Compressor. In FCP, Share>You Tube and then choose the quality setting you want.
Alternatively you can use Compressor to give you more control over your settings. If so, choose Share and either export a master file and bring that into Compressor…or SHare>Add Destination>Compressor settings.
Good luck.

Can't import iPad videos in Final Cut Pro X

Hello there, anyone knows if there are recent issues in importing iPad videos into Final Cut Pro X?
I follow the ordinary workflow, and it all seems ok but at the end of the importing process a "!" yellow triangle remains attached to the imported clip and this one can't be played.
Already tried to make a high quality conversionand/or a proxy, the conversion process seems to start but it doesn't go further than 0%.
Thanks in advcance for your help.
PS: the videos have been teaken with the "Video Pro" app an then exported to the iPad "film roll".
PPS: in the importing window the clips can be played normally.

Russ, I succeed in importing some files by transcoding them in a proxy one by one (that is not in a work queue). Some other files simply stops the rendering process and make it hang until the closing of FCPX. Thanks for your time.

Is this a Final Cut Pro .mov file. If it is it would open with FCP. Are you sure you saved with "self contained" checked. I seem to remember someone with a problem like this.
I think in the future you need to open your exported self contained FCP.mov files with quicktime Player and change the "open with" to quicktime player.

Can I import a video from Final Cut Pro

I'm doing a :45 sec. video clip in Final Cut and Kinemac for a local church. They want pre-recorded backround music that fades out at the end. Can I import this video into GB for the music..
Thanks.
NN

What do you mean by "this video"? The FCP file? No, but any rendered version: Show the video track in GB and pull the video over.
The question is: Why would you want to do this? If it's just about fading out the music, as you write, FCP will happily do that for you.

Need help: Can't import old video into Final Cut Pro X or iMovie

I am trying to import some footage from my old camcorder into my iMac.
I have a Sony DVMC-DA1 connected via firewire. The setup works great in iChat. We were able to video chat to my wife's computer and she could see and hear the camcorder footage. iMovie does not recognize the device at all. Final Cut Pro recognizes it. It appears in the Camera Import window, but when I try to import some footage, nothing gets recorded. Oddly, there are two time counters in the import window. The one on the left increments as the footage 'imports' but the one on the right stays at zero.
My iMac is the newest 2011 model and I am using the latest versions of iMovie and FCPX.
How do I get either iMovie or FCPX to import my footage from the DVMC-DA1?

This guy did a tutorial for 2 free ways of importing video over FW:

They both should accept any video over FW. The link for Vidi is old, here's where to find it: http://www.mitzpettel.com/

I can't open my copy of Final Cut Express 4

I got it in the mail today but I can't open the box. Can you open it without tearing up the box? I like to keep my software boxes. Thanks.

Oh, I figured it out ... you have to pull the tab.

keep in mind: video is a bandwidth killer - do your friends like to waste 100s of MBs for a tiny stamp-sized video?

Can't Export Video from Final Cut Pro

After updated to OS Maverick, I can no longer export video from Final Cut Pro.
It pops up "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)"
ANYONE CAN HELP??

10.0.2, I think this is where the problem is.
I will update to the latest (10.0.9) and update this thread to see if this will resolve my problem.

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

If your MBP meets them, it should work fine.

I have the current Mac Pro the entry level with the default specification and i feel some slow performance when applying after effects on my videos using final cut pro and also rendering a video takes long time ? what upgrades do you guys suggest?

256GB SSD it shipped with will run low and one of the things to watch.
Default memory is 12GB also something to think about.

Look at this technical specs document, your system should be fine with the possible exception of Color.
As for managing your preference files, use Digital Rebellion's tool.
Good luck.

Opening MPG files in Final Cut Pro?

Am I correct in saying that you cannot open MPG files in Final Cut Pro? We have Studio 2 and Studio 3.
From my previous experiences, we have always had to transcode to an MOV in Squeeze or some other program. I guess Compressor would do it too.
We have a client that has 20 hours of footage in MPEG. Yes, I said 20 HOURS! It's low-res, but if my thoughts are correct, we'll have to transcode all of it. I don't know what exact flavor of mpeg the source is in, but regardless...that should take a **** of a lot of time. We only have a quad core with 6 gigs of RAM.
Any thoughts? Would really appreciate it.

Which flavor of MPG are you referring to?
----- MPEG1?
As recommended above, Premiere Pro will allow you to import and edit MPEG1. Adobe makes a 30 day trial version available if you don't have it already with one of their bundles (or maybe it's time to get the Production Bundle and work After Effects and Photoshop into your workflow?)
You could also find a utility that demultiplexes MPEG1; however, you'd probably want to convert it to Photo-JPEG at something close to 320x240 in frame size. You'll have to create a custom Easy Setup and/or Sequence setting. You could start with OfflineRT NTSC and change the compression amount from 35% to 100%.
If you're not going the Premiere route, search Google for "How To Demux/transcode/convert Mpg on Mac" and some options will come back.
Also, if you have Roxio Toast, it might be able to do the conversion for you.
But, with all that said, the only time I use Premiere Pro is when I have to cut MPEG1.
MPEG1 is meant for viewing video on a computer and/or devices that support MPEG1 at "VHS" quality. Or, simply put, this is almost the worst possible source video you could be given. (I'd put Photo-JPEG video streams from early point and shoot still cameras just below it. But then again, those would be easier to try to edit at first only to have the picture completely break apart when you try to export it). Two decades ago, MPEG1 was awesome, but even then you encoded it from an edited master that was on something better than VHS.
If you can find some hardware that will play MPEG1 out via S-Video, it's probably worth patching that to a DV media converter or DV camcorder and pass that through to FCP at DV-NTSC settings.
----- MPEG2?
The MPEG2 QuickTime component should already be installed via Final Cut Studio, allowing you to open MPEG2 streams directly into FCP; however, you'll probably be better off batch converting from MPEG2 to DV-NTSC and then cutting at the DV-NTSC easy setup.
----- HDV (MPEG2 codec for picture and MPEG1 Layer 2 codec for sound)?
I'd guess this isn't the type of MPEG you're talking about based on your post. Also, this is, of course, supported in both versions of the studio that you have.
