Export 'flv' file straight from FCP

Hi,
I need to find a program to enable me to export straight from Final Cut time line to 'flv' file,as I need to save time rather than exporting from Final Cut and then to flv. Is there any program that does this?

Hello there,
for Flash 8 video (VP6-E/S codecs) you would need something like:
*On2 Flix Exporter* - QT export component ($199)
http://www.on2.com/index.php?399
*Flip4Mac Episode* - Batch Encoder app with free Apple Compressor integration plugin ($395)
http://www.flip4mac.com/episode1.htm
http://www.flip4mac.com/pdfs/EpisodeCompressorQuickstart.pdf
For Flash 9 video (Flash Player 9 Update 3) you would only need Compressor (or Episode) as Flash 9 video no longer uses the proprietary On2 VP6 codec but standards-based MPEG4/AVC (H.264).

Export FLV or SWF from FCP Studio 2?

I had FCP 5 and was able to export using > Quicktime Conversion> Macromedia FLV or Macromedia SWF.
For some reason, I can't do it anymore, since the options have disappeared. Any ideas on where I can find the plug-ins needed or updates?

I bought OnFlix Exporter to do this. Flash is proprietary to Macromedia, so I'm pretty sure you need to pay to add this capability to Final Cut Pro.
A very cheap program that will make Flash movies for you, without tying up your Final Cut system to do converstions, is Mediahub.

Exporting 'flv' files from Final Cut Pro

Hi,
I was wondering if there was such a program that would export
'flv' files straight from Final Cut Pro time line for my mac. I
know that you can purchase Adobe Flash which enables this, however
I don't wish to buy the whole program. Is there a video encoder
program or something that you can purchase that will enable me to
export from FCP?

Not sure about FCP, tho I would expect the latest Final Cut
Studio to be able to do
it.
Anyway,
Quick Time Player can export MOV to FLV. Not sure whether
it's the regular player,
I'm having the PRO version for many years and this one allow
that kind of export.
You being a Mac user, I guess that's the easiest and cheapest
way to get FLV out of your
available tools.

I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export in F4V or FLV format?

I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export in FLV format? Where do I find the list, which gives me all the details about it? Or is there only one output codec? Thanks

That's an excellent analogy. While FCP cannot export FLV. It is possible to do a very simple substitution. If you export a QuickTime movie using the .mov suffix with the H.264 codec, you can change it to FLV simply by changing the suffix to .flv. This is an acceptable format for Flash movies on most web sites, if that's where you're trying to go.

NTSC to PAL - Export straight from FCP or use an mpeg file?

I was reading this
http://www.macworld.com/article/49306/2006/02/marchcreate.html
however it does not mention what to bring into compressor.
Should I export my ntsc sequence straight from FCP into compressor, or should I drag an ntsc mpeg file I aldeady made into compressor? Ive been trying the latter but can't do much as each step gives me the spinning beach ball for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Thanks much.

Yes, you should export directly from FCP Using Compressor. Exporting to a heavily compressed MPEG-file, and then converting that from NTSC to PAL makes no sense. You would want your video to go through as few conversions/generations as possible.

Winfile.cpp-759 error when exporting .flv files

Hi,
Just got over the P2 file problem (stopped using them in CS5, gone back to CS4) and a new problem has occured.
I have been exporting .flv files since I first installed CS5, suddenly today Premiere crashes when trying to export individual .flv files and so does the media encoder.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The given problem doesn't have the obvious cause. But it can be avoided.
The problem emerges after Premiere import video clips with attached audio files, while 'confoming audio'. After the conforming, the 'broken' audio files cannot be heard with playback, or incorporated in export.
There are two solutions to this problem.
First: While ripping material, or importnig previously ripped material, import separately audio and video data.
Second: If you, while working, run into audio stream that doesn't hear ( because of the given 'conforming' ), edit audio of original clip in some sound editing program ( Adobe SoundBooth, for instance ) by cuting it to new file, resampling it, saving to *.wav ( for example ) and importing it to your Premiere project, replacing the broken audio data.
That should do the trick. At least, it did it for me.
Cheers!

Exporting audio files separately from video using a Mac

Using a Mac computer, can you export audio files separately from video in Adobe Premiere Elements 11? If so, how would I do that?
Thanks as always.

I worked through the instructions in the Classroom in a Book for exporting
the video and the audio together and the audio separately, but I am not
quite sure of some of what to check in some of the categories. I would
appreciate some guidance. The purpose of sending this project is to have
my son clean up the sound.

Cs5 is asking me to find all media associated with a project file imported from FCP BY HAND.

Please tell me there is a way around this.
I have an XML file that was exported from FCP and I'm importing it into CS5. I have the drive with all of the media on it. I load up the XML and CS5 is asking me to find every single piece of media involved with the project by hand on the drive. THis is insane and will take me hours. Why will it not locate it itself? Please someone tell me there's a way to let it search throught he folders on its own.

Repeating some of what has been stated here....
What PPro is looking for is the assets in the same directory structure as when the XML file was created from FCP. So let's say that as you were about to save the XML file from FCP, you had all the assets on 1 single drive. Some were in Folder A, some where in Folder B, some in Folder A-1 (a subfolder of A) and some in Folder B-1 (subfolder of B). As long as the files remained in roughly that same folder structure in relation to one another, PPro should be able to find all the other assets AFTER you've found the first one.
With all the translation if you go from a Mac to a PC system, there's a lot of chance there that the directory structure - even if you kept it basically all intact - could still be messed up. Once the XML is loaded into PPro, however, you should be able to select multiple offline clips in the project folder, choose "Link Media" and have PPro go through and (hopefully) find everything automagically. If not, the Finder button in the "Link Media" dialog box should help.
PPro doesn't really care specifically about folders and subfolders when relinking, it is just looking for the RELATIONAL structure based on the last time the assets were ONLINE in the project. So even if your original assets were in 1,400 different folders, it shouldn't require you to relink based on each individual folder, so long as the RELATIONSHIP between all the files and folders remained the same.
Hopefully that makes sense. I know when I work with FCP editors the footage is generally handed to me on a drive with all the assets being essentially in a very different relationship than when they were on their FCP projects (since they usually are going from multiple drives on their Mac to the single drive that they hand me with the project assets). So I'm usually required to manually relink all the assets anyway. Kind of a bummer, but thankfully most projects are limited to only about 100 assets or so, and filenames are generally unique.
Good luck!

What is the best compressor setting to use ... when exporting a 720p timeline from FCP for a project that will only be played back in a standard def monitor?

What is the best compressor setting to use for DVD StudioPro ... when exporting a 720p 30 timeline from FCP for a project that will only be viewed in a standard def monitor?

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?

Export settings for sequence from FCP to Avid PC

Hi,
Please can someone give me the best export settings/codecs to use if I need to export a FCP sequence with clips shot on XDCam EX1, 1920x1080i, 35 mbs at the least quality loss possible so that it can be imported into an Avid on PC for titling, effects and other bits added? My on-line editor is on Avid PC.
Many thanks
Belinda

Hee....missed that final sentence somehow.
So...offlining imported footage on FCP that you will online in Avid? What is there to online? You imported at full resolution. Must be color correction.
OK then...you edit in FCP from imported XDCAM EX footage...and you intend to go to Avid for the final color correct and titling. Did you plan for this? Test this? because I am pretty sure that the QT files that were created when you imported with the transfer tool won't work on a PC. Unless you tested and they did. But it appears that they don't as you are asking how to get them there.
Did you not ask this question when you started this show? That is ALWAYS something you do. If you plan on doing a certain workflow, you have to make sure that the workflow in question will work. Offline and online from tape is fairly simple, as you can recapture from the tape...timecode being the big thing there. But this is IMPORTED footage. Full clips, and I don't see how you can import only what is used in a sequence.
This issue, coupled with FCP to Avid...and Avid on a PC no less. Well. Find a codec you can export from FCP that the Avid can read (this will require testing), then MEDIA MANAGE the footage to that codec. Hmm....but then how will the Avid read the FCP project file to reconnect to the footage?
Nope...I stand by my original answer. Output to XDCAM disk and recapture, or to HDCAM or HDCAM SR tape and recapture.

Exporting QT raw captures from FCP

Hello
I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I am taking raw capture files in QT format (from a Hi-8 source) via Final Cut and giving them to a client to edit and transcode into WMV's.
I have just captured a very long tape but accidentally cut the end off, therefore i had to recapture the last few minutes.
There seems to be no way to combine these two raw QT's, so my question is...
Is there a way to export these files (once i combine them in FCP) into one QT (that retains the original quality of the raw capture) so that the client wouldn't know?
Thanks

You can edit, copy and paste, between open QT Player files using nothing more than QT Pro. Open both into independent players, copy one, paste it into the other.
Umm, I know it can be done, but I havent' used QT Pro to build anything for more than five years so...
RTFM, see the online help system for QT Pro.

Videoplayback.flv file downloaded from YouTube video via Safari will not play

Hello All,
Here is my question to you:
Has Safari been altered in such a manner as to NOT allow you to download videos direct from YouTube to your Mac without some intermediary interface?
Here are the steps I would use to download the source .flv video file from a video on YouTube to save it on my MacBook Pro:
1. Open Safari.
2. Go to http://www.youtube.com.
3. Enter name of video to view/download in the search bar and hit 'enter'.
4. Start video.
5. While video is playing:
A) Click on 'Window' in Safari's menu bar at the top of the screen.
B) Select 'Activity'.
6. A window will open showing data status of the video.
7. Locate the largest loading file size and wait until it is finished loading.
8. Double-click on that file size.
9. A small 'Downloads' window will appear showing file download status.
10. Navigate to your 'Downloads' folder and drag the file named 'videoplayback.flv to the desktop.
11. Double-click the aforementioned file to start the video in a suitable .flv player (I was using SWF & FLV Player originally).
This process no longer works. All I get is a black screen when I double-click the downloaded .flv file.
Notes:
The file size in Step 7 above would vary accordingly to the length of the video, but now every video I try to save as a .flv is approximately 1.7MB no matter how long the video is. Something isn't right here.
I had originally downloaded and used SWF & FLV Player to view my video when the above process used to work, but now it has upgraded itself to Elmedia Player and wants me to upgrade to the PRO edition to be able to download videos from YouTube.
Any insight to this will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for reading and responding to my question!
Sincerely,
- Austin C.

Thank you for your timely response and suggestion, Mr. Davis!
I did exactly as you said, made sure there was NO trace of the Elmedia player anywhere on my machine after the uninstallation procedure, but unfortunately this did not work.
When I dropped the videoplayback.flv file into the VLC player, I get this error message:
There is something deeper going on within Safari, I believe. The fact that different length videos on YouTube all yield the same 1.7MB file size when I try to download them is puzzling.
Thoughts?

How can I export 1920x1080 Mp4 directly from FCP

How can I export 1920x1080 Mp4 directly from FCP

Thanks Russ.
I wasn't thinking about the Apple Devices so much as the Master File set to Audio & Video which produces a .mov file.
I have normally used the Master File to export my videos but will experiment in future with "Computer".
I've taken a closer look with VideoSpec and notice that the data rate of the .mov file is about 70% of the .mp4 and the file size is correspondingly smaller.
The export/render time of the .mov is also somewhat quicker.

How to export flv file from Final Cut Pro?

I'm using Final Cut Pro and try to export edited video in "Flv" format. However, there is no such choice and only "Flc" available? My friend has the same version of Final Cut Pro and there is "Flv" format to choice, why?

I use QT conversion: file > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion >
Then, under Format I only have "3G, AIFF, FLC, iPod, QuickTime Movie...", no "Flash video (FLV)" as my friend's computer?

Exporting 1-frame stills from fcp

Here's my problem: I've captured lots of 1-frame stills from clips, stored in the Browser. Using 24PA Anamorphic Setup, wanting my final DVD to play 16:9 on a widescreen LCD. I then create a new Anamorphic Sequence and drag all stills to the timeline. Then, I export all the stills as jpg's, using QT Conversion to jpg. This works fine. But when I look at the resulting stills in Photoshop, they are squashed. Now, I can convert them to QT files and then get a nice correction by exporting the stills back out of QT, using Show Movie Properties>Visual Settings>Unchecking "Preserve Aspect Ratio">Changing Dimensions to 853 x 480. But then I've got a QT file which doesn't open in Photoshop. Yikes! By the way, in fcp, it doesn't seem to matter what format I set for the export--png,jpg,photoshop, etc. The stills always look squashed, compared to the video that they came from. Thanks for your help.

Drew13 or anyone! Oops! I just discovered another problem. I changed the pixel aspect ratio of all the 1-frame stills that I had exported from my 16:9 fcp project, and while there in Photoshop they look correct. But if I open these pictures in Preview, they still look squeezed. Then, if I open them again in Photoshop, I get this notice, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum quality." When the picture opens, it looks correct at 16x9 again. Apparently, changing the pixel aspect ratio in Photoshop does not "really" change the photo. My goal is to use the exported stills in a DVD slideshow,and have them look correct at 16x9 dimensions, but now I'm stuck with all squeezed photo-stills. Hmm.
