DVD back to Final Cut Pro

So basically we have made a DVD movie and would like to convert it back into Final Cut Pro for later editing at times. Is this possible and if so how is it done? Would you use a program like Popcorn, DVD Shrink etc. to rip the DVD and then import some type of file back into FCP? Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I accidentally deleted a project in trash. How do I get it back into final cut pro X. It is still sitting in trash.

    If your working on an external hard drive, just drag/drop back in the Final Cut Projects folder, and re-open FCPX

  • Dvd created in final cut pro not working

    I have created multiple Dvd's in Final Cut Pro X and never seem to have a problem. Yet with my most recent project I've run into a problem. The created Dvd's will not play on any of our dvd players, blue ray or regular player. The error message I am getting on some of them is "region not supported". But they will play on any Pc or Mac I insert them in. I burned the Dvd using the dvd function in Final Cut.
    Any advise?

    For copy-protection reasons, DVDs (the video ones) have a regional "code" - for example, North America is region 1, and Europe is 2 (grosso modo). Computers for the most part ignore this, but common DVD players don't - so a region 1 player refuses to play region 2 discs, etc.
    In old times, I remember that DVD drives that came with Macs were set to some region (presumably according to where they were bought), and there was a way to change it, but you were limited to some 5 changes, after which the drive would be locked at whatever "region" it was in. I don't remember how that region was changed, but it does look like the region associated with the DVD drive in your mac did indeed change, so as to make it different from your local one.

  • What is the proper way to back up Final Cut Pro x

    What is the proper way to back up Final Cut Pro x?
    Final Cut Pro X & Motion 5 are the only two programs I do not have a hard copy for.
    Click and dragging the files from the applications folder to an external harddrive seems to simple to be correct.
    Are their additional folders or actions that are required to back up these software?
    I'm having problems and was instructed to back up all files ASAP before taking my iMac (mid 2010) to the Apple store for treatment.
    Please help!

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Most apps from the Mac App Store are simple drag & drop installation. DId FCPX or M5 just download to your Mac or was there an installer app involved? If they just donwloaded, then dragging them to backup media should be enough. If there was an installer, then you should backup the installer. But these apps aren't going to disappear from the Mac App Store in the short time that your Mac is in a repair shop. You can also download them again fromthe Purchased pane after you have signed into your account.

  • Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk. My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standar

    Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk.
    My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standard Definition, now it just defaults to Standard Definition.(I'm using Apple's DVD Player)
    Can I fix this problem?

    Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
    I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
    IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
    IOFireWireAVC.kext
    IOFireWireFamily.kext
    IOFireWireIP.kext
    IOFireWireSBP2.kext
    I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
    The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
    So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
    So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

    Make sure your easy setup has the correct frame rate for your sequence.  Seems crazy but somehow or other fcp assigns a frame rate to audio files.   I've found this can sometimes be tricky to get right.  Here's what I've done to force the issue.  Make sure the easy setup frame rate reflects that of the target sequence in fcp.  Create a new project.  import the audio in the new project.  And then copy the clip from the new project to your main project. 
    Good luck

  • Sending Audio Files back to Final Cut pro, nothing.

    Simple issue:
    I send from Final Cut Pro To Sound track pro some audio files along with the clip.
    I edit it in Sound track Pro, and save (just like in the tutorial) then I quit.
    I go back to Final Cut Pro and what do you know, the file that I sent HAS NOT BEEN EDITED!
    Some one help.

    I tried the same thing earlier in the year, and when the sound came back into FCP, it was corrupted!
    Since then, I don't know if this is a good option, but it seems to work fine:
    Once I have finished my editing in FCP, I export the soundtrack into an AIFF. I edit the AIFF via STP, and when finished, import it back into FCP.
    I'm not experienced enough to know if this method is bad, but it has worked well for me!

  • Dvd studio for final cut pro x?

    Hi to all!
    I have Final Cut Pro X (latest version),  I'm aware is that there is lack of customised DVD authoring within FCPX,  as I'm being told to export to iDVD, but iDVD has limited capacity for me to edit the menu as not brilliant as Adobe Encore (As I dont have Adobe Premiere Pro as I'm FCPX fan!).
    Will the engineers at Apple have a plan to develop DVD authoring client within FCPX family - like Compressor 4, Motion 5 - in the pipeline?  If they do, then it would be fanstatic,  as Apple doesn't seemed to be customer services friendly as they dont reply to my emails?
    Any response you guys please?
    thanks  Ryan

    My guess is that if HD DVD had won the High Def disc war Apple would not be in such a rush to dismiss optical media.
    Apple placed all their bets on HD DVD and Blu-ray finally emerged as the winner. Consequently, It appears that Apple has decided that optical media should not exist.
    It seems a little radical and premature to me.
    In my opinion Optical media is still a valid and viable way to move and store large amounts of data. It's also a perfectly viable format for entertainment media.
    I still back up redundantly to DVD or blu-ray. It gives me peace of mind to know that I have my data stored on a medium that is not prone to the same forms of failure as spinning magnetic discs.
    Downloading huge operating systems and applications that monopolize ones bandwidth and time for hours if not days seems like an unnecessary burden to place on the user base.
    Maybe if thumb drives become cheap enough Apple and other companies will offer the option to purchase software on tiny removable media for a small additional fee.
    Otherwise we all better hope that internet bandwidth and speed go WAY up at an affordable rate. (and everybody has access to it)
    Will optical discs eventually be irrelevant some day? OF COURSE!
    But not yet. And certainly not as a knee jerk reaction to loosing a format war.

  • How can I import DVD footage in Final Cut Pro X

    I want to edit a showreel of my own work in Final Cut Pro X (version 10.1.4). A lot of my old footage is only available on DVD. I need to get this footage into Final Cut Pro X but don't know how to do this. There are programs to convert DVD to DV but I don't know which one to use, and how to use them.

    The script provided by MPEG Streamclip worked for me.
    But there is an alternate way, which is basically doing by hand what the script does.
    The actual component that is needed is stored inside an archive file in the inside the package. This file needs to be copied to a place where the system can see it.
    Here are detailed instructions. Be sure you fully understand before putting any files in the Library folders, as described below. No guarantees, but if followed correctly I believe this works.
    1) Double-click the .dmg file.
    2) Inside there are two folders. Open the one that says "For Quicktime 6.4 or later..."
    3) Control-click the QuickTimeMPEG32.pkg and choose "Show Package Contents".
    4) Copy the file "Archive.pax.gz" somewhere else on your mac - I will use the Desktop as an example.
    5) Double click the copy of "Archive.pax.gz" on your desktop. It will expand and create a folder on the desktop called "System".
    6) Inside the folder called "System" is a folder "Library" and then "Quicktime", with a single file called "QuickTimeMPEG2.component".
    This is the file that MPEG Streamclip needs!
    7) I suggest you place this file in your own user's Library. To do this, hold down the option key and select Library from the Go menu in the Finder. There, if it does not exist already, create a folder "QuickTime" and copy the component there. This should work.
    Note: the script actually places the component in a different location - one which I think should not be messed with (inside /System/Library).
    I think it should work in the user's Library, but if not I would put in /Library (the Library at the root of the drive) before trying the location above.

  • 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!

  • Sony Mini-DVD's with Final Cut Pro

    I am wondering if it is possible to convert mini-DVD's such as those from sony camcorders to the Final Cut Pro editing program? I have been able to do this on my PC but is difficult, long and complicated. I have read other posts my my question isn't completly answered. My camcorder does not have a USB or Firewire port on it but I already own an exterior disk burning drive that accepts mini-DVD's. I am considering switching to a MAC from PC and Final Cut Pro is one of the main reasons why.
    Thanks in Advance!
    HP   Windows XP Pro   Considering switching from PC to MAC

    Welcome to the forum!
    To convert ANY non-copyrighted, non-encrypted DVD video footage to an editable format that FCP can work with, you have two basic options; hardware or software.
    The hardware method is connecting a DVD player's outputs to a qualified DV device, which is connected to your Mac via Firewire. In FCP, set device control to "Non-Controllable Device" and use capture now - or dub the footage to DV/DVCam/DVCPro for logging and batch capturing.
    The software method involves using a program such as DVDxDV, Cinematize or MPEG Streamclip to demux and convert the DVD-Video's VOB files into an editable format for later importing into FCP.

  • DVD PLAYER AND FINAL CUT PRO

    Is it possible to take a dvd and capture the files to Final cut pro??
    If so how do you do it?? I have a family dvd that I want to convert to a avi file the only way I know is through final cut pro. However, when I put the DVD in DVD player pops up and I don't know how to capture it into final cut.

    What's that?
    You've been provided the name of a software (freeware) title designed to convert a DVD's VOB files into an editable format ... as well as the URL of where you can download the software. If the URL doesn't work, you can always use a search engine such as Google to look for the provided software name.
    YouTube accepts several formats. Here's a link to YouTube's Help Center: http://youtube.com/t/ythandbookproduce# Once there, click on the link named "Best Formats for Uploading."
    By the way, AVI isn't a format or codec in and of itself; it's merely a container for AV files that could be made using any number of formats.

  • Error sending multi-track project back to Final Cut Pro, can't open XML

    I am an experienced Final Cut Pro user but just tried using Soundtrack Pro for the first time on a real project. I sent the audio from my Final Cut sequence to a Soundtrack Pro multi-track project, added a few effects and created some fade-ins and fade-outs, and then tried to Export back to Final Cut.
    I selected "File > Export", named my file and selected "After Export > Send files to Final Cut Pro sequence."
    Now in Final Cut an error appears that says "The document “Name.xml” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “Final Cut Pro XML File” format."
    Am I crazy or is something wrong happening here? I can get the exported audio files to appear in my sequence if I select "File > Import > XML" in Final Cut, but after this whole process Final Cut seems to be functioning unreliably (after closing Final Cut and re-opening, I even once got a similar error that said "Final Cut cannot open files in the Final Cut Pro Project File format", which is obviously crazy).
    Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    hi,
    i have the same situation. expirienced in fcp, new in soundtrack pro.

  • Dvd burned from final cut pro hackes when viewed on Bose dvdplayer

    When I burn a DVD from final cut pro x (disc creator) on my MAC book pro,(MAC IOS lion 10.7.5) it can be viewed on my computer without problems, but hackes when viewede on my Bose dvd player, even though it works fine with purchased dvds. What is the problem?

    Brand of DVD media can cause this.  Not all DVD players will work with all self-burned DVDs.  They are flimsy soft plastic and prone to errors.  This is not an FCPX issue, but simply a self-burned DVD issue.  Try a different brand of DVD media.

  • Downgrading from final cut hd back to final cut pro 4

    I recently upgraded to final cut hd but decided i would rather stick with what i am used to with final cut pro 4.0. is there any way to go back to the original software?

    Why are you doing this? What is different in FCP HD that 4.0 had? FCP HD is FAR more stable than 4.0...
    What you will need to do is throw away everything final cut pro on your HD, the program and application support files and preferences, then reinstall 4.0.
    I still find it odd to do this...
