Compressing and importing from Final Cut into Flash

Hi,
I am trying to import a short film into Flash to create a swf file which I want to use on the web.
I compressed the film to a smaller Quicktime film and imported it into Flash, worked fine, but I don't get any sound.I did mark the box import audio.
Any suggestions?
thanks
Silke

extract the audio from your original movie and attach it to your SWF
dunno too much about Flash, but you should try importing your audio and video as seperate assets
or forget flash - u could just put it up as a movie (QT,MP4,WMV(!).....) or create an animated gif (e.g. with fireworks) and attach the audio file to it......
good luck!

Help importing from Final Cut into Motion!!!!!

Okay im trying to import a selection from fcp using "send to motion project"
The plobleum is that I have a template created and I want to use my selection from fcp to replace the media file im my created template. Is this possible?

Export the selection as a self contained movie with current settings. Use that export to replace the media file.

Import from Final Cut Pro not working correctly

I have a very simple project in FCP. (Ver 6) It is a HD clip that is about 5 min long with 7 chapter markers.
I exported the project as an XML file and imported that into Premiere Pro empty project.
I wind up with two assets, a .mov with same name as the .mov in FCP and a sequence with the same named sequence in FCP.
Right clicking on the .mov and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates a new sequence with the .mov on the timeline.
There are no markers.
Right clicking on the sequence asset and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates another sequence with the same name and the .mov on the timeline.
The markers are inside the .mov and audio tracks, not up on the top ruler line where markers appear when manually adding markers.
The keystrokes to move to markers do not work.
The "Clear all Markers" function is greyed out , like it is when no markers exist.
If a "Dynamic link to Encore is performed, there is no markers in Encore.
If you enter chapter markers manually and look at the project file (an XML file) you will see indexes with the chapter points , durations and names as children named "Markers" with attribute"ObjectID='22'.under "//PremiereData"
Following , in sequential order, are subsequent objects "Markers", ObjectID='23" through "ObjectID=n
However, if you look at the project file after importing a FCP project, this same function occurs, except that it is "Markers" "ObjectID=30 with the indexes and marker data 31 through n (further down in the file). This area is empty when adding the markers manually in Premiere Pro.
FYI , the project file is littered with the word "Marker" and "Markers" throughout the file, only their attributes make any node unique.
I am at 99.9 &% finished with a VB program to create / modify nodes, values and attributes, except that the XML date changes format at the node named "//WorkspaceSettings" so I am not able to edit values to make a file that will not crash when opening.
I would very much like the import from Final Cut Pro to work, or someone explain how to work with the nodes under "//WorkspaceSettings"
Thank millions for a solution.

It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite. I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating.

Transfer clips and projects from final cut pro x trial to final cut pro x

Just bought the final version of Final Cut Pro X and cannot transfer my existing clips and projects from Final Cut Pro X Trial.

Audio popping between clips with timeline imported from final cut xml file

So i imported a final cut timeline that was synced with pluraleyes into adobe and between all the cuts there is an audible popping noise. I've tried using audio cross fade but it seems to make it worse. How can I fix this??

If anyone else has this problem - you fix it by making sure you pan the audio to the center, not left or right.

Anyone importing h.264 from final cut into Toast 11?

Hi folks,
I'm thinking of finally introducing Blu Ray as a few clients have requested it.
I use a compressHD card from matrox to create iphone, ipad, appletv etc.. files.
Of course, it also does blu ray.
Does anyone know if i can export, from compressor, an H.264 blu ray file and import into Toast 11?
I can't find any solid information from Roxio on whether or not Toast 11 will import those files?
The compressHD card is fast and the quality seems to be fantastic so this would be amazing if I can do this task.
Cheers,
Keebler

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the response.
I'm assuming you mean take my edited self or un-self-contained file and drop it into toast for it to convert/burn? Or maybe I'm not understanding the process.
The CompressHD card is faster than real time (in most files I've run to date) so I thought that would be the fastest way to process a file before burning. ie. if I drop a .mov file into Toast 11, will it take a long time to convert (or does it?)
I was thinking (hoping) my workflow would be:
1. import into FC Studio
2. edit as required
3. export to compressor using CompressHD to create the H.264 file (I'm still investigating on whether or not exporting a .mov then dropping that directly into compressor is faster or more efficient than just exporting to compressor from within FCS)
4. take created H.264 file and add it to Toast 11, create a menu, burn.
Unless there's a more efficient way of burning Blu Ray (maybe WWDC will reveal DVDSP adding such a workflow)?
Hope that helps you helping me?
Cheers,
keebler

Importing from Final Cut Pro-improving rendered quality

Is it possible to render an exported movie in FInal Cut so that it can be immediately written to the DVD rather than be rerendered/ compressed? FC allows you to create MPEG2, the same as iDVD or DVDs generally?
Failing that. my guess is that the export from FC should be with as little compression as possible (Animation, None, others ?). I have been quite disappointed with the end result quality in the burned disc seen on a TV, it doesn't look nearly as good as on the computer monitor. Perhaps this is a function of the limited resolution of TV/ versus the 720x480 DV. But I'm also getting color noise on black backgrounds, elements that I suspect are created by compression.

Hello,
Rendering and compression are two different beasts. If you are working in the DV format then you want to stay (render) in the DV format. Rendering to another format (HD, Animation, etc...) is not going to give you any more quality than what is already there: DV in this case. Compression takes your current format (DV) and turns it into an MPEG 2 (for most cases) for burning to a DVD. Keep in mind that 1-hour of DV is 13gigs while a DVD can only hold 4.7/4.3 gigs so the material must be compressed. Next, as you have surmised, these codecs were designed for SD Television display which has a much lower resolution than you computer monitor & also only displays one field at a time, alternating between two fields very quickly. The difference between interlacing fields and progressive scan. When editing in FC, you can hook a deck (or your camera) up to the computer and also send a signal via the analog outputs of the camera to a TV (I use an el cheapo 13" Philips but it serves my purposes). This allows you to have an idea of what the material will look like on a TV rather than the computer monitor.
FC will use Compressor to create the MPEG 2 files (compression) for a DVD. iDVD uses the same compression engine but does not give you control over the variables of the compression. However, iDVD cannot use an MPEG 2 file created by Compressor, iDVD wants to do it's own Compression. When exporting out of FC, you can either save the file as a reference file or as a self contained movie (using the same settings you captured with, DV in this case). You can drag either of these files to iDVD for compression/burning. The following is by stock answer on iDVD & quality:
Quality and iDVD- Quality is subjective; what one person finds as good another may not. Quality is also highly dependant upon input. In other words: quality in, quality out; garbage in, garbage out. It is helpful to have a basic understanding of what makes a DVD a DVD. When you record on mini-DV you are recording to an already compressed format. Arguably a very good compressed format but compressed nonetheless. This means information is being tossed at the point you are using the camcorder. iDVD, or any DVD authoring app on any computer, Windoze or Mac, compresses this material even further into the MPEG 2 format for playback via a tabletop DVD player. Now mini-DV has about 30 frames per second (NTSC). MPEG (in a very basic nutshell) takes a picture about twice every 30 frames and uses this as a reference frame and then only records the motion difference between that reference frame and the next time it creates a reference frame. So you go from 30 frames/second to TWO, with motion difference! This is how one hour of DV which is 13 gigs, can be compressed to fit onto one DVD. Two hours would be 26 gigs of DV compressed to one DVD! Hence the general quality difference between one-hour and two. And keep in mind that is compression will show artifacts that may have always been there but you didnt see until the other 28 frames where tossed out.
Having a basic understanding of what makes a DVD can help you make better DVDs. As example, if you see that your recordings have a lot of motion that is bad. Remember, when compress to DVD it only records the motion difference so you want to keep the camera steady and use slow controlled movements (pans & zooms). Quick pans or zooms or jerky movements are the bane of any MPEG compression scheme.
That is just one example. There are thousands more. Sometimes, merely recording to a different blank media yields better results. iDVD has a unique way of discovering bad RAM, so if you have added any RAM lately, this may affect your quality. The list goes on. /End my standard reply.
Black also poses difficulties for compression (fades to and from black, black with no motion and so on) since the Compression is looking for motion. The first step in "fixing" this is understanding it. What are your black backgrounds? Can

Premiere Pro CC crashes upon XML import from Final Cut 7 Export

Hello all,
I have recently tried to import a FCP7 XML into Premiere Pro CC 2014, and a few seconds after initiating the export Premiere Pro crashes. Any solution to this???
I Exported on a Mac Tower running FCP7 and then imported the XML on a PC Running the latest Premiere CC v8.1. Could that be a problem in itself?
Also I'm considering a workaround where I move the FCP7 to FCPX, generate the XML then try importing again. Worth a shot?
Also trying this strictly on an Apple computer to import and save before moving to my main PC station. Thoughts?
The sequence I'm trying to import is fairly massive too, not sure if this is why, but it is mult-layered, both in audio and video and is running about an hour in length with several other blocks of video files after that, probably running up to 2 hrs. This should not be a problem, right?
Help! It would be greatly appreciated to get out of the clutches of final cut finally.

I am having the same issue.
Your best bet is to logon to Adobe website and go to customer support. If you chat with someone they can go on your computer and trash all your preferences. Your computer will be stable again. It worked great for me, but I just imported an XML from Resolve and it is crashing the system again.
Good luck.

Corrupted clip import from DV: cut into multiple clips, wrong date

After importing DV tapes into iMovie '09, especially older ones, many takes are wrongly cut into multiple clips, some having the correct recording date & time, others having the current date & time. I have a single take, 32 minutes, cut into 685 tiny clips! All out of order... It's almost impossible to puzzle them in the correct order (and I lack the time).
Can iMovie be set to disregard timestamp info from the tape, and simply put clips in the order they are received from the tape? I could easily set the date & time by hand, and even make it understand it's one take, but not if it's a clip puzzle... Help!

Can imovie HD run on 10.6? I tried to install it and it said I needed iLife 08 installed first.
Yes. It works fine.
You have 6.0.4, you want 6.0 > 6.0.3 ONLY. 6.0.4 looks for iLife '08.
You can get iMovie 06 in a number of ways. You cannot download it FROM APPLE any longer (it was free for a time). You can also find iMovie 06 on the iLife 06 install disc. You can buy iLife 06 on Amazon or eBay. WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!
iMovie 6.0.4 requires that iLife 08 is already installed. iMovie 6.0 thru iMovie 6.0.3 has no such requirement. There are no known functional differences between 6.0.3 and 6.0.4. If you install iMovie 06 from the iLife 06 disk it will probably be version 6.0 or 6.01. However you can update the software to 6.0.3 from Apple's Web site.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/imoviehd602combo .html
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/imoviehd603.html
If you want to have both iMovie 06 and iLife 09 (and most do) just install iMovie 06 first, then iLife 09. You are now UN-STOPPABLE!
Also when you install iLife 08 or 09, iMovie 06 is not removed from the computer. Previous editions of iMovie were always un-installed when "upgrading" in the past. Apple leaves iMovie 06 on your system, because they want you to have it. iMovie 06 works great with iDVD 09.

Import From Final Cut Pro To iMovie

I know it seems backwards, but it is what I want to do. How can I move my FCX 10.0.2 project with it's events to iMovie 10?

No joy on this end.
I'm trying to export an event or the files in the event from iMovie 10.0.6 into FCPX 10.10.1.
Running Yosemite.
Only option to export in iMovie is file>share> but then all options are grayed out, e.g. theater, email, vimeo, file, etc.
Cannot export as xml (no option found). Cannot drag-drop from iMovie to fcpx either.
Tried to import to FCPX using file>import>media but cannot find the iMovie event or the files associated with it.
Can you give me a tip on this one?
Thanks..

IDVD and video from Final Cut Express

I made few videos PAL in 4:3 format, and that was simple. Btw, I live in PAL country.
When I start with 16:9 format, problem is beginning to show when I add QuickTime video (video was in 16:9 format, Anamorphic or HDV). First, picture of Sunflower or Vintage Vinyl theme shows on TV in 16:9 format. When the my video begins, I saw it on 4:3, not 16:9 format that I chose in the Project of iDVD.
All recordings I have has been made in HDV or Anamorphic PAL.
Who can write me how can I set video to 16:9 format?

Make sure Quicktime 7 is open before you try Anamorphizer.
Place a copy of your movie clip in a new folder and drag that clip over the Anamorphizer icon. This should create a second file in that folder that start with Anamorphic- This is the reference movie you drag-and-drop into iDVD. Note that your clip in that folder (which is the movie the reference movie points to, must not be moved or deleted).

Inputting footage from Final Cut Pro

I have input footage into Final Cut Pro, but would now like to try iMovie '09.
Can i move my footage from Final Cut into iMovie or do i have to input all over again?

iMovie should read all your FCP footage including ProRes movies as long as it's the same mac or another mac with FCP installed. Make a new folder in 'iMovie Events' and place your FCP movies. Next time you launch iM09 it will build thumbnails and footage will be read to use.

Send to Apple TV From Final Cut Server

This was pretty simple, but clients really seem to appreciate having the functionality. Basically all you have to do is follow these steps to create a checkbox that can send any asset to your Apple TV for client viewing.
1. Create the field "Send to Apple TV".
2. Add that field to your Asset Search MD group and the MD goup that you wish people to access it in.
3. Create a Final Cut Server Playlist in iTunes
4. Open Automator in OSX. Create a Folder Action using the "Add Songs to Playlist" action from iTunes.
- Choose your Final Cut Server Playlist
5. Assign the folder action to a folder of your choice.
6. Create a Device "Apple TV" in Final Cut Server that points to that folder.
7. Create a transcode setting for "Apple TV H.264" and import to Final Cut Server
- Assign this transcode setting to your Apple TV Device
8. Create a "Send to Apple TV" Copy Response
- The destination device is "Apple TV"
- Transcode Setting is "Apple TV H.264"
9. Open Itunes on the Final Cut Server
- Setup your Apple TV
- Have the Apple TV automatically get the latest files from your Final Cut Server Playlist and send them to your Apple TV.
Done!

Good job Jason. About time to you contributing back to the community that's been so good to you.
Now how do you get the Apple TV box to automatically query FCSvr directly?
