Can't Update Old Final Cut Pro Projects

I use Final Cut Pro for work and just recently updated. I didn't realize that I needed to have all my projects in my "Final Cut Pro Projects" file while updating. I had a lot of my projects in a "Final Cut Pro Projects-Not In Use" file when I updated my Final Cut Pro and now those projects will not update. I didn't have a "Final Cut Pro Projects" file after updating so I created a new one under "Movies" in my Finder and added all the projects to that and Final Cut Pro still won't update them. What am I doing wrong?
Also, now that I've updated the projects are exporting as .MP4s and my boss wants them as .MOVs again. Is there a way I can change them to that?

I have been trying to add a screen shot to this reply for the past ten minutes but I keep getting "An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again" So I will try to explain it to you.
I click the arow on the bottom right hand corner. Then click "Master File..."
My settings are:
Format: Computer
Video codec: H.264 Better Quality
Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Audio file format: QuickTime Movie (AAC)
(don't click Include chapter markers)
Open with: QuicTime Player (default)
On the bottom it reads left to right:
1920 x 1080 | 23.98 fbs   Stereo (L R) | 48 kHz  00:00:04:02   MPEG-4 movie 10.4 MB est.
Then I click "Next..." and save it to my Desktop and click "Save"
I hope that makes sence! Sorry the screen shots didn't work!

    To Final Cut Pro X? You want it, you just buy it. No separate upgrade pricing.

  • Can you open a Final Cut Pro project file (6.0.6) in Final Cut Express (v4)

    I am working on a project in Final Cut Pro (v 6.0.6) and I need to pass it off to a colleague who only has Final Cut Express (v 4). The media in the project is DVNTSC.
    I went to the Apple store at the Stonestown Mall in San Francisco today and they assured me that my colleague would be able to open my FCP project file in his FCE program... but I'm skeptical.
    Can you really open a FCP project file in FCE?
    Could somebody who has both confirm this for me?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Under very rare circumstances can you open an FCP project in FCE. It almost never works and is not supported by Apple.

  • I can't update my final Cut Pro, it says I did not purchase the software

    I'm trying to update to 10.0.3 and I can't do it through the app store because for some reason it says I did not purchase the app. If thats true then why do I have a receipt....
    Please help!

    Make sure that you're in the App Store "Updates" area.
    If you're in the FCPX Appp Store page, then it will ask you to purchase again.
    I had an issue where the App Store was telling me that FCP was alrady installe don this computer.  Well no duh?
    I trashed the FCPX app and then hit update again, adn all went fine.

  • I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do

    I have recently update my Final Cut Pro X to Final Cut Pro X 10.1. I downloaded the update from the app store. Now every time I open Final Cut it crashes almost instantly. What can I do?- I really need help!

    It sounds as though you have a corrupt project - or possibly a file within an event that is causing the application to crash.
    Quit FCP X, then move your projects and events (if you have any) to new folders so that FCP X doesn't find them, then relaunch the application. If it launches OK, there's a very good chance one of your projects or events is causing the problem.
    Quit the app again, then move one event or project at a time back to the original folder and launch FCP X again - keep going until you find the cause.

  • Converting a Final Cut Pro project into one Final Cut Express HD can read..

    Is there any way I can convert a final cut pro project into something i can open in an earlier version of final cut, namely final cut express HD?

    Tim,
    Unfortunately you can not go from FCP to FCExpress. You can go backwards from say FCP7 to FCP6 or FCP 5 using XML's. The XML version depends on which FCP you have.

  • I have just updated to Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 - I have updated Projects and Events on my external hard drives (off the File menu). It's says under several project 'missing file' - but they were all there working fine before I updated.

    I have just updated to Final Cut Pro 10.1.4 - I have updated Projects and Events on my external hard drives (off the File menu). It's says under several projects 'missing file' - but they were all there working fine before I updated. I am working off 2 external drives - not sure if that would make a difference.

    After the update each seperate connected drive should now have a seperate Library.
    The older Projects and Events folders would have to be at the top level of those drives go be seen and updated.
    Were all the necessary Projects and Events in the corrrct place before updating?

  • Motion 3.02 - cannot open any final cut pro projects

    Please help. Motion won't open any Final Cut Pro projects, and I've been training to learn Motion, I'm stuck on this lesson because I can't open a FCP project. All FCP projects are greyed out when I go to Open in Motion, and even if I right click the project file and Open With and force Motion to, it cannot open the file. I can "Send To > Motion" in FCP and that works, but it's not the same.
    I have FCP 6.06, both are part of Final Cut Studio 2 Academic version. Not that my FCP version matters, because the CD provided in my Motion 3 training book gave me a (probably) FCP 6.0 project file, even when I updated it, it won't work. Not even my old old FCP files from previous versions can open with Motion.
    Much thanks.

    But it can be done the other way, perhaps you reads about that. Motion files can be imported into FCP and used just like regular clips.

  • How to save Final Cut Pro project to an ftp server to then open on a different computer

    Hello, I work for a graphic design firm that also does video production for businesses. We are using Final Cut Pro X in our office which has an FTP server connected to all office computers.
    What we want is to be able to have on employee start a project in Final Cut Pro X, save it to the server; then have another employee open up the same project and continue working from a different computer.
    Right now, we have a lot of our Final Cut files saved to the server, and the files will show up in the server on the other employee's machine. BUT, we scroll in the server to the file for the Final Cut Pro project on the other computer, and the file is grayed out, unable to be opened on the new computer.
    I've tried right clicking and choosing "open with Final Cut" and Final Cut does then open, but right before it opens the project within Final Cut, a message comes up saying "The document could not be opened. Open documents from within Final Cut Pro," which of course, I see no way to do that from within Final Cut Pro.
    I've also called Apple Care, they reminded me that we can't have one project open on two computers at the same time, and that's fine. We are willing to close the project on computer one to then open on computer two.
    If you have an answer let me know. We don't want to have to load onto an external hard drive to then load onto the other machine, especially since we have a server ready to go.
    Thanks for your help.

    You can share projects via the ftp server, but you need to:
    1) Have all the media in identical events on each editor's machine;
    2) Set up the project  and share the entire folder for that project first;
    3) Afterwards, you can share just the project file itself
    You CANNOT work directly on projects and events stored in the ftp server.
    See Steve Martin explain how to do all this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu-ga7fxKh8

  • Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks?

    Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks? Is any one else having problems? All my media is reputedly "offline" even though I can see all the files. Using the reconnect to media function doesn't do a thing. All of my previous projects are the same. Any ideas would be most welcome!

    Because it is $299.99, and there is tax.

  • Showing a Final Cut Pro project to an audience - from Final Cut or Quicktime?

    I've created a 13 min Final Cut Pro project to show at an Awards Ceremony of our college.  Is it better to show the video directly from Final Cut or to export it and show it from Quicktime?  What's the best quality output?

    hi,
    its not about quality. Since you can export out at the same quality as prorez. Its about performance. Since fcpx has to combine multiple sources, audio, graphix, video etc, then combine them al into a whole, there is far more that could go wrong. Always export out a finished mastered rendered file and play that. Just make sure that the computer playing the file back can handle it. ie if you chose an uncompressed codec to export out as, the computer may not like playing it back. Choose a prorez or h264 codec, they will be fine.

  • Importing Final Cut Pro Projects

    I know this might be a very silly question but -- when watching the tutorial for DVD Studio pro5, they imported a Motion Project that had not been rendered, it in turn got rendered when burning it to DVD. Is this possible with Final Cut Pro Projects?? Can I take a project or sequence and import it into DVD Studio without rendering or exporting it??
    In other words can DVD Studio use the Final Cut Pro Project just as a reference as it does with Motion or does it need to be one file??
    Anyone out there who can help me please?? Thank-you

    You cannot import FCP project. Just mov files, or m2v files. I believe only Motion works as you said.
