Exclude stills in import window Final Cut Pro X

I export from a memory card removed from my camera which I use for both still RAW images and videos. Ther are always way more stills than videos and I would like a way to have the import window show only the videos. I use Aperture to import the still images.
I suspect there is a simple setting somewhere to achieve that, but I haven't found it yet.
Thanks for any guidance.

In the Import window, switch to list view and in the columns click on File Type

HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
Any suggestions on what I should try now?
Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

Sounds like there is a file you're not getting. Never do a removal manually. It's so time consuming and a pain. There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
Reboot the Mac.
Download from scratch.
If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

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.

Video quality changes when imported into Final Cut Pro

I have video files that I have imported from an external hard drive that were transferred from an HD camera. When viewing the footage directly from the hard drive, the quality is great. Once imported into Final Cut Pro, however, there are small "flares" (don't know how else to describe them) that appear for split seconds across the screen. The best way to describe it is if you are watching a television that has an antenna, there will be static or interferance on the image. This is barely noticable but I can't determine what would cause the decline in quality. My video settings are set to DV NTSC 48 kHz and wonder if this is the problem or if anyone knows of something else that I should change prior to importing.

Thank you so much for your help! I am technically challenged and STRUGGLING to say the least.
Some files are definitely H.264 and I can convert them to ProRes. I also have clips that are
DVCPRO HD 1080p25, 1,440 x 1,080 (1,888 x 1,062)
Linear PCM, 16 bit big-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
Current Size: 1,440 × 810 pixels
Will I need to do anything to those as well?
Here is the question I'm afraid to ask because I think I know the answer already. Can I simply replace the clips in my sequence with the newly compressed ProRes files or do I have to change all of the video and sequence settings and then start all over?

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

FCP doesn't work with 3GPP, which is basically a cellphone compression format. FCP only works with media in the QuickTime framework. It only works with video in standard video frame resolutions, which 800x480 isn't, and with video that uses uncompressed audio, while yours is compressed.
Standard definition video is 720x480 at 29.97fps with uncompressed 48k audio in a production codec, which H.264 isn't; it should be either DV or DV50 or ProRes.

MP4 (MPEG-4 MOVIE) FILE IMPORT TO FINAL CUT PRO X

I have some MP4 files I am unable to import into Final Cut Pro X from a Hard Drive. 1920x1080, Codecs: MPEG-4 Video, Linear PCM, Audio Channels: 2 Total Bit Rate: 35,253 ...
Any suggestions as to what steps I need to take to be able to import them into Final Cut Pro X ???

Okay, I fugured it out ... the footage I was provided was from a Sony XDCAM source ... the link below gave the information needed ...
Final Cut Pro X: Importing Sony XDCAM media http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4724
Just follow the instructions ... the sony documentation for the two downloads indicated that this would not work for FCP X ... but it did work fine ...

How can I restart media import in final cut pro?

The operation of background activities on Final Cut Pro is often convenient, except when an import gets interrupted by an inadvertant media removal. I usually have multiple SD cards connected to my Mac doing imports, and if I have more media than I have adapters/slots to connect them with, I will invariably unplug the wrong card, and interrupt an import that is in progress. When I put the card back in, there is nothing that I can see to "restart" the import of that media where it left off at, or at least start over, and overwrite any incomplete files. Instead, it seem that I need to import the card into a new event, and then use finder to then move the media files into the old event folder structure. Only then, can I get something that seems to work.
Is there some other way to reliably restart the import, or otherwise force the import to actually work? It seems that if I try to import to the same event, again, I see the animation of the closing file selection dialog toward the events, but the background tasks window shows no activity, and I don't see anything ever complete as an import.
This, also blocks any attempt to "share" the project too, because it keeps complaining about an import which has not finished, and thus the project is still referencing "media on the camera" . That limitation has got to go away too! I really want to construct my project, share it, and move on. Waiting for media to "import" when I actually can construct the project with the preliminary media view doesn't make sense. Even if importing needs to happen for conversion/rendering for the share, just do that in the background. Let me say "share", and go do something else with my time!
I have submitted feedback on this, but if anyone has pointers of simplifying import from SD cards that would be great!

Select the photos you want rotated, open the Inspector (command-4). In the Video section of the Inspector, hover your mouse near the Transform and click show if it's not already open. The rotation setting is in there.

Import Failure-- Final Cut Pro XML

I am editing a short film with my school imacs and I want to bring that project home to add my music and sound effects in premiere pro CS6. I Exported an XML file from Final cut pro 6 with standard settings. I copied the xml file to a flash drive and brought home to my windows 7 PC with Adobe Premeire Pro CS6 installed. When Import the XML file from my flash drive i get the error-- This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be asociated with this file type. I checked the codec of the XML and it is <codecname>Apple ProRes 422</codecname>. Any help?

When you reimport the exported project XML to FCP, do you get the full project or just the single bin/sequence? If you get the full project then it sounds like you need Premiere help, not FCP help ... have you tried asking on the Adobe forums? If you only get the single bin/sequence then it seems you might have inadvertently selected those prior to creating the project export. Try making sure that your FCP Browser window is active and that you have not selected anything within that window prior to using the File > Export > XML command. If that still causes issue then you might try using an earlier FCP XML version.
Hope it helps

How do I import my Final Cut Pro 10 (FCPX) XML files into Logic 9?

I am using 10.0.5. Which is the latest version Of Final Cut Pro X. I export my project out as a XML in FCPX. Then went into Logic 9 clicked on import then selected XML how ever the XML file was grey and Logic wouldn't come up as a valid XML to import. Please help me! Thanks

AFAIK Logic 9 can't import the form of XML that FCP X outputs.
There may be other ways to bridge the gap, but since I don't use Logic 9 I can't help further.

All audio tracks won't import to final cut pro...sigh :-(

Hello I'm Dani, probably a novice in comparison to regular final cut pro users
I have a big problem with putting any music onto my timeline. It always says 'files not recognised' when I try to import any type of audio file. Thus far I have only managed to place two music tracks onto a timeline, but have been unable to differentiate anything between the two files that import and the hundreds that won't!
Please help, I think there is probably a really simple solution but I cannot figure it out x thanks x

Your music tracks are probably in an incompatible format. What are the file extensions for these music files? See if you can bring them into compressor and convert to 48k16 bit aiff (probably the best format for working in fcp).

TS3850 Importing to Final Cut Pro from Canon XM2

My new iMac hasn't got a firewire port... Only Thunderbolt?? How do import from a Canon XM2 Camcorder? Apple Final Cut Pro says that this camera is compatible but which cables do i need???

You'll need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor.

Can I import a Final Cut Pro X project back into Final Cut 7?

I want to go back to Final Cut 7 (Studio '09) from Final Cut Pro X, but I've already started work in Final Cut Pro X, and I'm worried that my FCP X timelines won't open in FCP 7. Does anyone know?

big no on that one Im afraid, at some point in the future FCPX may export xml but not yet, your project (timeline) is pretty much quarantined inside FCPX, I'd bite the bullet and finish it there if I were you
cheers

Is Lightroom any good for preparing stills for export to Final Cut Pro?

I am a fan of Lightroom. I am running ver. 3.0. I am wondering if it might be practical to use Lightroom to prepare stills for import toFinal Cut Pro when I don't need a layer. It really is good to use Lightroom if you can, right? In the past most people have used Photoshop for this task. Here are a few notes I have made from a tutorial which shows how to do it in Photoshop, it seems very good, title: "Final Cut Studio 2, Moving on Stills" is by Larry Jordan and is at Lynda.com:
Scaling: Use bicubic sharpener if reduction is required
Edit / Assign profile: SRGB IEC61966-2.1 for import into SD project, HDTV((Rec. 709) for import into HD Project
(Is exporting to these profiles in Lightroom as good as assigning them in Photoshop? Unfortunately I don't understand this stuff fully. In my PSCS5 The HDTV)Rec 709) is on list, It isn't on list for LR when in Export window, I click on color space and select Other. It seems like list comes from Library/Preferences/Adobe, Color/Profiles I don't understand why it doesn't show up with all the other profiles in LR. )
Image mode - set to RGB Color (I don't understand what that accomplishes, can anyone explain)
(It sounds like saving file as a TIFF is the a best way, I can do that with LR)
I wonder why not use 16 bit depth for export? There must be some pros and cons. Any comments?
Has anyone already done this with Lightroom? Any comments appreciated.

I doubt you'll notice the difference if you are not watching on a
reference TV monitor. I took a few sRGB images into Photoshop and
assigned the HDTV profile. I don't see any difference at all.
2010/8/10 Dorin Nicolaescu-Musteață <[email protected]>:
>> if you look at the HDTV (Rec. 709) profile in Colorsync utility, it is exactly equal to sRGB. This makes sense as the standards are based on each other and they have the same primaries. I doubt there is any point in using the HDTV profile.
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec._709#Transfer_characteristics, both share the same primaries and white point, but have a different gamma. Doesn't it mean that same pixel data should look different (slightly lighter and darker) in each space?

Freezing after importing media - Final Cut Pro 10.0.9

Whenever I import media, the import window closes and leaves the final cut screen darkened and frozen. I searched and saw someone had a similar issue when something plugged into their firewire port was interfering. Nothing is plugged in in my case. This is pretty annoying. If I restart the program the media I imported is there, but it's going to suck to have to QUIT the program every time I need to import media....
To be more specific it doesn't matter where it is or what kind of file. It could be a jpg from the desktop, doesn't matter. Just freezes..

3ds Max importing to Final Cut Pro?

Is it possible to use a Windows 7 program through bootcamp such as 3ds max, and import a 3ds max composition into a mac program such as Final Cut for editing? For the msot part, I just want to be able to create something in Windows and export it into OS X for editing (or vise versa). How would I go about this? Thanks!

As long as you export an image sequence, for example, that you rendered in 3ds max,
and then load QT player, and convert to QT ProRes for example, you will have no problem
reading these rendered files in FCP xxx.
As for porting a max file into FCP, this is not possible.
