Creating 1080p Blu-Ray with Final Cut Pro 10.0.7?

The latest version of Final Cut Pro (Vers 10.0.7) seems to share to Blu-Ray disk only at 720p resolution (1280X720) - not 1080P (1920X1200).  I know you can always use Compressor to create a 1080p Blu-Ray, but is there any way to create a 1080p Blu-Ray disk directly with Final Cut Pro?  It seems to me I was able to do this with earlier versions of Final Cut Pro X.

If you do a 1080 project @24fps or 29.97fps, FCPX will output 1080 frame size using the Blu-Ray settings. If you use Share >BD for either 720 or 1080 @ 60fps, it will choose the 720 resolution.
I have no idea whether this was always the case.

  • Export to Blu-ray from Final Cut Pro 7 with LG BE12LU30 External Blu-ray

    Hi all
    I've got an iMac with Snow Leopard and I'm editing HD video in Final Cut Pro 7. I've created AVCHD discs on DVD to play in my Blu-ray player but now I want to create Blu-rays that will play in a regular Blu-ray player.
    Has anyone got any experience of using the LG BE12LU30 External Blu-ray Re-Writer with FCP 7? I've checked other posts and it seems one user has had success with an earlier LG Model.
    Basically if I connect this drive and use the Final Cut Blu-ray export option in share, will I be able to burn a playable Blu-ray?
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi I have one of those drives too .. I use FCP to edit export the movie using 'current settings' and then import that movie Compressor .. alternative I also have Toast with the Blu-Ray plugin .. it gives a nice menu template and works well. http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/plugin/overview.html

  • Can I use a blue screen with Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi, I am at a school that uses Macbooks and has just purchased a blue screen (with lighting).  I am new at chromakey / blue screening.  I know that you can use iMovie for green screens, but could somebody please tell me what is a good software to use for a blue screen?  Does Final Cut Pro X work with blue screens?
    If anyone has any advice I would be very grateful!!
    Thanks,
    From Michelle.

    The keyer effect in FCPX works very well with blue screen. Open effects browser and look for Keyer. When you add it to your blue screen clip it will automatically pick up the blue screen and key it out. You also have several controls to fine tune the edges etc.

  • Can you burn multible movies on one bluray dvd disc with final cut pro

    how to burn two completed quick time movies to blu ray dvd with final cut pro? Ive tried but wont play

    Mark,
    Welcome to the wild and wacky world of DVD's and Mpeg2!
    Here are a few things that might help.
    it seems to want everything as a QT. This presents size limitations.
    Not really, iDVD simply takes the QT files that you feed it and uses its own compressor to encode them to mpeg2 files. As long as your source material is not over 2 hours iDVD can handle it.
    I'm planning to export from fcp using Compressor in the hope of fitting everything onto one disc
    You can do this, but you might find it simpler to simply export a QT reference movie from FCP and drag that into DVDSP. DVDSP will then use compressor to create the mpeg2 files that you need. I say this because some find compressor a little intimidating at first. (I know that I still do.)
    Now, go find the manuals that came with your software and start reading, DVDSP is a powerful program and the manuals are the best place to start.
    Good luck!

  • Where can I download Christmas generators / title cards compatible with Final Cut Pro X?

    I'm looking for title cards with holiday themes, snow, Christams trees, ornaments and the like. Where can I find these? A quick search online I found site that said they weren't compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
    I went to rippletraining.com and after downloading got this error message...and yet I am unable to find any applications in the App store that meet my needs.

    Okay, this seems out of my league! …
    you haven't tried!
    you managed to handle FCPX, a highly professional edit-tool.
    What I suggested, is just 'basics':
    compose a few elements.
    Get inspired by other videos you notice around.
    To animate 'elements', use keyframes.
    To apply 'overlays', green-screen/color-key is a basic procedure…
    To prep stills, a designated pic-processor is of fundamental need… although, even MacOS built-in Preview.app allows creation of 'knock-outs'/transparency… in case, you're shy to invest a few $$ for Pixelmator.
    It looks maybe complicated - it isn't!
    Don't try it first time for some serious projcect… but creating your very own Xmas-scenery is a lot of fun… plus, you learn a lot about FCPX and its many hidden gems…
    Final word:
    Catch some nice, own pics with your cam! … snowy trees, 4 candles and some cookies, a frozen window, illuminations in the streets, that crazy neighbour with his 50.000Watts of garden decorations .... Just add a charming title - done. Simplicity rules!  …
    Merry Chistmas!

  • How to replace audio on a music video with final cut pro x

    How do I replace low quality audio on a music video to a higher better quality audio with final cut pro x?
    I have the new audio on cd which I can rip and replace the original audio.
    Some audio and music videos are not of same length, In cases like this how do I sync video to the newly replaced audio?
    Is there any tutorial, link or where to look for this in the manual?
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Providing you don't need the video synced or cut to a beat, all you need to do is place your music in the primary storyline
    Connect your video above.
    While your video is connected, hit CMD+R on your keyboard and stretch the video to the length of the music
    If you were to cut the video to a beat, simply add markers on your music track, then connect and trim clips to your markers.

  • Is the Canon Legria HF M56 compatible with Final Cut Pro X

    I am new to Mac and new to Final Cut Pro X. I am looking to buy a new HD Video Camcorder to use with my new computer/software and wondered whether or not the Canon Legria HF M56 is compatible with Final Cut Pro X.
    If it is, do you have to import the footage directly from the Camcorder, or can you first save the files to the Mac and import them that way?
    I currently use a Sony HandyCam HDR-SR10 which produces AVCHD .mts files. I have these saved on my Mac after transferring them over from my PC but Final Cut Pro X cannot import them. Very frustrating for a professional app to be unable to import these files. Even Cyberlink Power Director can use these files.
    Thanks for your help

    It's not on the tested list but it may well work.

    Why don't you download the trial and try it?

  • Your experince with final cut pro vs adobe premiere?

    I am just wondering about your experience with final cut pro and adobe premiere and which you like better and why.
    I've posted this in other threads here: I've tried the Final Cut Pro X 30 day trial on my old Mac Pro 5,1 (heavily modified) and my new Mac Pro 6,1 (8-core, D700s).  I have a specific benchmark that I run on an NLE when I'm testing it: how long does it take to export one of my movies to a 720p h.264 MP4?
    If we assume the length of the movie is represented by 't' (for time) -
    The old Mac Pro and Final Cut Pro X 10.0: 2t
    The new Mac Pro and new Final Cut Pro X 10.1: 1/2t + epsilon
    The old Mac Pro and Premiere Pro CC: 1/2t + epsilon
    The new Mac Pro and Premiere Pro CC: 1/2t - epsilon
    The newer version of Final Cut Pro X is substantially faster at exporting my movie than the older version.  But Premiere is still faster than it is.  Also, Apple still can't get the whole "edit the source footage raw" bit right; my source footage is all spanned-clip AVCHD, with files that are over 4G a piece.  FCPX can't just open those raw, it insists on putting a MOV wrapper around the footage.  There's no transcoding happening, but the file I/O for those massive files slows the whole process down significantly.
    Because I don't have years of experience editing with NLEs, I'm not married to any particular UI.  FCPX's UI is ... strange, but I didn't find it too difficult to become used to it.  If it were faster and more efficient for what I do, I'd reconsider it.  But for now, it's all Premiere.

  • How Do I Create A Photo Collage in Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi all,
    I'm a total newbie with Final Cut Pro X.  I'm using it to edit aerial drone footage for real estate sales.
    I have video from the outside of the houses, and I can edit that just fine.  What I want to do, though, is have a kind of photo collage/montage of photos of the interior of the houses somewhere in the videos.  But like I said, I'm totally new at this and have no idea how to do it.
    If someone could explain how or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    Karl

    I put out a remake of the Photo Recall effect a few weeks ago called Photo Recall Enhanced (it adds a lot more features to the effect already available in FCPX.)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I8Lo0tFdPU
    (there's more info in the About section under the video.) There's no charge.
    All you need to do is stack the images or video you want to collage on the sceen and add this Effect to each clip. You can set the Background Opacity to 0% to get rid of the "recall" effect and that will leave you with just the "photo" on the screen.  There's an onscreen control to help you position the image and other parameters for scaling and rotating (and all of these things can be keyframed for animation.

  • Burning a DVD with Final Cut Pro 10 stops at 95%, why ?

    Burning a DVD with Final Cut Pro X stops at 95%, why ?

    Stops completely? Mine stopped at 95% for quite a few minutes then finished.  This is usually the time in the process where the lead out is being burned and it will not show progress for some time.  If it is taking more than 10 to 15 minutes from that point you may have another problem.

  • Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

    Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
    Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
    Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

    Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
    In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?
