Can't play Final Cut Pro Quicktime exports

I have version 10.0.09 and Ive tried every setting in the export settings to try and save the video as something other than Quicktime. This is because when I go to play my exported quicktime video, it comes up with "QuickTime Player can't open "*******" because the movie's file format isn't recognized." I need to send the video to a client but I myself can't view it and fear they won't be able to open it either..
What export settings can guarantee me to view the video?
I also need the video under 2GB and it tells me at the bottom it is at 3.18GB est. When I save it as AppleProRes 442 it comes up as 103MB in the info on my documents so I assume that's not a problem. But I still cannot open the file to view once exported.
Help please!

Choose your project (or a compound clip in the Timeline - in either case while in the timeline, put the playhead at the start and hit "I" then move to end and hit the "O" key. Now select the corresponding Project in the browser:
choose share/e-mail/settings/ Small.   This will give you the smallest QT file that you MAY be able to put into an e-mail.  If you want a larger file:
share/export file/settings/Format:Audio & Video/CODEC:H.264/open with QT Player/Roles as a QT File.
   You can adjust as needed - in export file if you choose settings/format:Apple Devices/Codec: H.264 Better Quality/Open WITH/ QT PLAYER, click on the tiny TV icon with a check in it next to the file size & will always show you which devices it is optimized for. EVEN IF IT IS A MPEG_4 FILE... Quick Time will play it as will a PC.
  Experiment with the settings of each setting in Export File. Stay away from MASTER and do not send Apple Pro Res it will be too big and they may not be able to play it.
Choose Codec h.264.
This is very basic stuff, I hope this helps, tho.

  • How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

    How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
    So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

    You don't need to render before export.
    Rendering is for playback.
    If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

  • Final Cut Pro X Export Speed Problems

    I'm having problems getting any real processor speed out of my Final Cut Pro X exports. Whether I do a direct native Pro Res export straight from FCPX or send to compressor with the same settings, or even change them to H.264 or something else, i more often get processing that looks like the included picture, barely one processor being tapped. Sometimes ill get 50 percent which is probably all direct export is meant to use, seems like Qmaster distributed processing still doesn't work here. Once i get the file out and then bring that into Compressor 4 I get no issues, can get 50 percent with regular submit and full speed all cores running with Quickcluster submit. Any ideas why this is happening?
    Just to be clear, these are native ProRes HQ clips, no effects, nothing, just selects I'm trying output, and since we can't do reference clips anymore, well....

    TThe most common cause of this problem is that the media hasn't been imported properly and is still referencing a camera card or archive. If you press Cmd-E and no dialog appears, this can be one cause.
    BTw, this is primarily a user to user forum, so no one here really cares if you go and use Premiere.

  • What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X

    What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X?  Wondering if there is a solution under 100.00 or do I need to think a bit more. Thank you.

    Have been doing this for some time, my setup:
    I use an ancient "Symphonic" VCR player connected to an Elgato Eyetv Hybrid USB dongle.  That plugs into my G5 Mac, 10.5.8, which runs Eyetv software v. 2.5.3.
    Recording is dead simple after fiddling around a bit with software settings for channel, etc.  Start the player, hit "record" on the software and wait for the end.
    The recording is saved in some obscure ".eyetv" format with file size about 4 GB per hour of recording.  The software has export to a variety of formats including QT Movie which results in a substantially larger file size.
    Quality?  Well, it's viewable and usable for archive purposes.  I'm fine with it but more discriminating folks may want something better.  I end up burning the video on a DVD using iDVD and that's not the greatest anyway.
    There are various Elgato units available, and the Eyetv Hybrid seems to run bout $130.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can't Find Final Cut Pro with my admin user!

    It was there, but I changed the name from the person I bought the macbook15 from and now all the settings and apps are set default.
    Is there a way my main account (set to admin) can find Final Cut Pro (and maybe others) to appear on hard drive without having to use the old name and password?
    If I create a new user with the name of the original account is simply says "Username already used". In other words, If I am to use the old username, I have to change my main admin account and go through that all over again.
    Admin should mean, total control of the computer...
    Also does deleting/changing the original user actually delete programs?? It shouldn't, the hard drive files should be left alone. I can't find Final Cut Pro on the drive at all, it seemed to only appear when I'm using the original user name.
    Thoughts....discussions??
    I'm using the latest Macbook Pro 15 and updates.

    Firewire port is not required to install Final Cut Pro. Take a look at the Final Cut Studio system requirements and cross-reference it with your system specifications to discover what hardware your computer is lacking.

  • HT4664 Can I use final cut pro X on " Mac mini" ?

    Can I use final cut pro X on " Mac mini" ?

    depending on what model: for sure yes, it does!
    I did use FCPX on an old MacMini, c2d, 2.26GHz with 8GB Ram (using proxies made editing easy).
    My actual work-horse is a MacMini i5, late 2012, 16GB Ram, plus some ext. usb3 drives = perfect for my needs! (costs vs. power)
    I'm using two cheap 2.5" Toshiba 1TB usb3-drives, combined with MacOS' built-in DiskUtility as a Raid0 = 150mbps for under 100€ ... not professional (=raid0 contains a small risk of data loss), but again: best €-vs.-HP ratio

  • Can´t reinstall Final Cut pro on my Macbook without Firewire

  • Can't Open Final Cut Pro X

    I can't open Final Cut Pro X.  The problem seemed to start when I deleted some old backups.  Help?

    Close FCP X and re-open holding the Option key.
    This will allow you to create a new Library, do so.
    If the newly created Library works OK then there is a corruption issue in the current one that doesn't open.
    Try a backup, usually found in your Home>Movies folder.

  • Can I buy final cut pro using windows OS?

    Technically yes, as long as you use the same Apple ID on both machine's to purchase it and to download it. The Mac in the other state will have to meant the system requirements for FCP.

  • How Can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer

    How can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer without connecting the two

    As Kappy said, download it from the App Store - this will give you a brand new copy. However unlikely, it's just possible you might be copying a corrupt version from the original computer.
    In the App Store, make certain you use the same Apple ID that the App was purchased with.

  • Can I use Final Cut During Compressor Export?

    Hi,
    This is my first time using compressor and I'v read that you can use Final Cut while Compressor exports. When I start to export from Compressor, I get a message on Final Cut that says Frame X (what ever frame the export is on) and I can't use Final Cut when Compressor is exporting. I have rendered everything in Final Cut's timeline. Can I use Final Cut while compressor exports?
    Thanks,
    Zevie

    Zevie,
    You would not lose any quality. You will speed things up considerably.
    To set up compressor to use all your free cpu, you need to enable sharing with qmaster. On your system preferences, there should be a qmaster item.
    There are lots of posts about how to set it up. Do a search on it. I think even apple has instructions on how to do it. You can read the compressor manual as well.
    It is called distributed processing, and you will want to set up a quick cluster.
    Here is an article about it. The only thing that I know is different is on Snow Leopard, you may have to select "Managed" in the services box for compressor. This will allow you to select the number of instances.

  • Final cut pro X export files bigger than originals

    I got two WMV files, each file size about 500mbs, I converted them to mp4 using permute. Afther converting, each file size about 490mbs.
    Then I open the mp4 files with final cut pro, I just want to mend the two clips together, it's that simple. I finish puting the clips adjacent to each other. Then hit export and chose encoding method .h264.
    When final cut finished exporting, the movie is over 4GB in size.
    Why is it so big ? the orginal files combined size is just about 1 GB.

    File numer 1
    format :H.264, 1,280 x 720 AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
    FPS: 29.97
    data size: 1.23 GB
    data rate: 3.64 Mbit/s
    current size: 1,280 × 720 pixels (Actual)
    File number 2
    format: H.264, 1,280 x 720 AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)

    data size: 962.9 MB
    data rate: 3.62 Mbit/s
    current size: 1,280 × 720 pixels (Actual)
    After putting two clips together in final cut pro and export with h.264 encoding
    Format: H.264, 1,280 x 720 AAC, 48000 Hz, 5.1 (C L R Ls Rs LFE)
