Cannot import animated maps or trailers into FCP X

Hello,
please for suggestions, how to import my animated maps or trailer parts created in imovie to Final Cut Pro X. Thank you.

You have to export the animation from iMovie to a video file compatible with FCP.

  • How to import audio/video from DVD into FCP

    Hi, I need to import/capture into FCP from a dvd. When dvd files are open on my Mac it show VOB fotmat for video. I imported those files but they don't have audio, also the total time is 20 minutes but when imported into FCP it shows only bout 25 seconds. can someone help on this matter?
    Thanks in advance

    Cinematize works great. You can select portions or the entire DVD. It will not read encrypted DVD's so assuming you are using media that you have rights to it will do fine.
    You can import in several compressions. If you like you can import only the audio, only the video, etc. It will give you a QT file at the end.

  • Importing Flip and iPhone clips into FCP

    What is FCP's preferred video format?
    I have a funky project consisting of clips from iPhone and a Flip Mino HD camera. When either of these are imported directly into FCP, they won't play without rendering, and any edit or trim "undoes" the render, forcing them to be rendered again... and again...
    I'm guessing the best strategy is to convert them -- before importing -- to a format that FCP will like better and will play smoothly, without constant re-rendering.
    So: what's the best format to convert them into, and what's the best tool for doing that pre-conversion?
    Or am I wrong, and is there a way to handle these Flip and iPhone clips in FCP without pre-converting them?

    Okay, that seemed to work. Thanks!
    But now there's a new, odd problem: I can't add transitions! After dropping these new clips in the timeline, they play fine without rendering... but whenever I try to add a transition (dissolve, wipe, etc.) between clips, FCP changes the 1 second transition to a 3 frame transition. And there doesn't seem to be any way to change the duration - no matter what I do, it keeps changing back to one frame. Strangely, I can add the normal transition to the end of the sequence, but not between clips.
    Am I missing something? Does the DVCPRO50 progressive format somehow prohibit modifications like transitions?
    (And should I start this as a new topic?)

  • Can't import LIVE TYPE files .ipr into FCP -  FILE ERROR: UNKOWN FILE.

    I have had this problem for a while and simply just worked around it. But now I am editing so much more that I want it the way it use to be.
    The Problem is FCP 6 will not let me import LIVE TYPE files. I have to render them into an .mov 1st in livetype. I use to be able to just drag the file into FCP and render it there after I tweeked it. Now it won't, it gives me this error- FILE ERROR: Unknown File.
    I have already uninstalled Live type along with its PLIST as well as FCP. Re installed and still keep getting the same error. I can't remember when it started, all I know is I want it fixed.
    Thank you for any assistance anyone can offer.

    What are the Project Properties settings? do they match the Sequence setting in FCP?
    What elements are used in your LiveType composition?
    Are you including images or background video?
    If so, post the codec that the video uses. If there are images, the file type and color space.

  • Problem importing footage from Canon XF305 into fcp

    I have footage from a card having recorded on a Canon XF305. I literally dragged and dropped card onto my desktop making sure not to change any file names. I am now trying to import this footage from my desktop into fcp. I have downloaded the canon fcp plugin but everytime I try to import the footage using the canon plugin preferences I get an error message which reads... "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media. Can anyone help me??

    Hi there,
    I've had no joy with this. Have tried everything. Just can't get footage into fcp any way I try. I have downloaded the plugin but I still get the same error message. "AA0229" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    My work flow is as follows.
    Open final cut pro. Go to log and transfer. Go to preferences within the log and transfer window and click on Canon XF plugin. Then go to import. Click on file on my desktop which is labeled as CLIPS001. Then error message comes up.
    Memory card was dropped directly onto my laptop and onto a back up drive without changing any file names. Was thinking this would be straight forward.
    Any help will be hugely appreciated. Am I missing something simple?

  • Can't import mxf-files (Canon XF100) into FCP 10.0.8 after Mavericks

    Hello
    It's not possible for me, to import mxf-files into FCP.
    I haven't yoused FCP for a couple of days, but today I could not import files from my Canon XF100, so i think the problems came with Mavericks??
    Does any of you have same problems?
    What to do?
    Kind regards
    Thomas (Denmark)

    Hi Russ -
    I downloaded the utility and driver from here:
    http://www.learn.usa.canon.com/resources/blogs/2012/20120223_xf_utilities_and_pl ugin_updates.shtml
    But after looking around realized it isn't updated for Mavericks yet. I was only given two files and both weren't in any sort of directory structure- here is a screenshot.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Importing FCE 2.03 PROJECT into FCP HD 4.5

    Hi All.
    I have a small project edited in Final Cut Express on my laptop. I wish to import it onto my new shiney G5 DUAL on which I have FCP HD 4.5. I am not using the HD selection, the FCE project is just standard digital imported files.
    Can any kind soul offer any guidance.
    Happy Easter to you all from sunny Ireland.

  • Can't transfer/import XDCAM files from harddrive into FCP

    hi, i filmed all of my footage using an XDCAM and had to return the cams immediately. so i copied all the clips from the capture media to an external hard drive (everything within the BPAV folder) one to one. i also downloaded and installed the XDCAM EX Clip Browser on my MacBook Pro and can view the clips.
    the problem i have is that i can't import the clips into FCP. the "Import> SONY XDCAM..." feature in FCP won't allow me to access these files. the BPAV folder remains greyed out.
    what do i need to do to get the clips into FCP? is there a different plugin i need? the clip browser won't let me export the clips to any other format. i'm stumped. i run FCP computer on my G5 PPC Quad core. the file browser only runs on Intel macs. so i use my MBP to view the clips but that's all i can do.
    can someone please help me out ?
    many thx!
    fj

    in the spirit of armano'os last post and FYI: i picked up the cams on short notice, never used them before and there were no instructions. the ppl just told me to copy the files over to my HD, since i had to return the cams immediately and had no time to hook up the cams to FCP.
    the 'mistake' i seem to have made was that i looked at the data structure and saw that the clips always ended up in the CLPR folder within each BPAV folder - each in its own folder in that fiolder and with XML and data files - so i copied directly to that one BPAV folder i copied from the first capture media i moved to my hard drive instead of copying the entire BPAV folder from each capture media. however i tested the import immediately to see if it actually played back the files in the XDCAM clip browser and they did.
    i assumed all was fine with this method and it would save me a lot of duplicate BPAV folders... hopefully though this isn't the end.

  • Importing a Quick Time file  into FCP 5.14 file is not recocnized

    Hi, I purchased a stock footage in quick time format from istockphoto. Importing it it gave me an error that the file was unrecognized. It plays OK on me desktop using Quick Time. I exported as quick time file, using DV NTSC... no luck.
    Than I exported as AVI with DVD NTSC compression, and it solved the problem.
    Why FCP reads AVI (Windows format) but doesn't read his own... I am puzled!
    If anyone knows the answer, I will appreciate.
    thanks,

    First of all thank you all you guys for your help! Secondly Apple webmasters should fix the problem with solve and helpful buttons. It gives an error.
    iMovie has no problem to read this file.
    Yes Final Cut Pro is a sensitive tool. This is not the first time I am running into this kind of issues. Last week I created a particle Illusion effect as HD mov file
    Importing into FCP it showed me only 1/4 of the screen. I fixed this by creating the AVI file. The conclusion is (I am maybe wrong) that Apple should work on the quick time issues.
    Thanks again!

  • Importing two different video sources into FCP

    I have captured footage from a Sony HDV 1080i using iMovie HD and imported it into FCP. I also have footage captured in DV-NTSC 720x480 format. I would like to use both formats in a video clip. However, whenever I import Sony 1080i footage into the timeline it needs to be rendered and it takes a fair amount of time. Is there anything I can do to the footage so that it does not need to be rendered everytime I drop it into the timeline?

    You have to elect which timeline you want, HDV or NTSC DV. Either one must be rendered.
    You might try a recapture of the HDV and downconvert it in the camera on capture.
    Settings are in the manual

  • Seamless import of Sony MRC1K files into FCP X?

    I am planning on purchasing the Sony MRC1K "Direct To Edit" unit for my Canon XHA1.  Will FCP X recognize the files to import that the Sony MRC1K creates? 

    Well, I've got time if thats what it takes.
    My goal is to convert the 32gb of "AVI files" into something compatible in FCP X without reducing the video quality. I don't know a specific file type, I just imported them from MINI DV into Sony Vegas (and then just dragged the files from Vegas onto an external and now just want them to get into FCP X)
    I just downloaded Stream Clip, added 100 clips (4gb) of avi clips to batch list, but am having trouble converting. I tried converting to DV or Quicktime and the response is "Error: Can't create the MOV file"

  • Settings required for importing a QT Screen recording into FCP

    I have just recorded a screen recording using QT and need to import it into FCP. I have tried, but an error message comes up saying FCP can not read the format. File error 1 - What do I need to do when exporting out of QT so I can import and edit in FCP??

    QuickTime Player's Screen recording function makes H264 video clips You can't use those in FCP.
    Convert to ProRes LT using either Compressor or MPEG Streamclip.

  • Cannot import an iMovie HD project into FCE

    Hi,
    I've been trying to import an iMovie HD (iMovie 6.0.4) project into FCE and all I get is an error:-
    I've also tried to import the same project file into iMovie '09 but nothing is imported.
    Any suggestions, please?
    Thanks,
    TonyT

    Hi
    NO - Not really !
    iMovie 1 to HD6 - is one program and it's evolution.
    iMovie'08 to '13 - is something completly different - NO code is used from previous iMovie !
    So really No other program - iMovie'08 - '13 or FinalCut Express, Pro or Pro-X or Adobe Premiere etc can import a project so that all work (transitions. texts etc) still remain in an editable form.
    What You can do is
    • Finalize project in iM HD6 - or -
    • Export out as a movie - QT.mov and use this as a template in FinalCut etc and re-build - (doesn't work in iMovie'08 - '13 as it only holds one Video track).

  • Importing Final Cut Express project into FCP

    I have just updated frpm FCE to FCP and have a project that I would like to import from FCE to FCP. Can anyone tell me how to do this.
    I can't find instructions in the manual.
    Thanks
    Peter

    Just ctrl-click it and select "Open With...", then choose FCP.
    Beware, however, that you cannot open it in FCE once you've brought it in.
