Export from powerpoin to fcp in HD

My customers use powerpoint for the presentations, I would like to take those slides export them and import them to FCP at HD rez to match my 1080 x 1440 time line and capured footage, anyone knoe the best way to do this?
daz

iLife/Keynote will read the PPt file and then you have several options/formats to export.
One thing to bear in mind, is that most PPt users do not design their pages with 'title safe' or 'screen safe' parameters in mind.
You choice of whether to adjust frame size during export to account for this (export them a bit smaller), or do the scaling (if needed) in post.
I often drop some type of motion background under them.

  • "Milky" or faint results when exporting from AE to FCP

    (Accidently posted to FCP Express forum-- whoops!)
    I've been using After Effects for years now to create graphics for our Avid projects, and the QT results have always been great. Clean, sharp moving graphics. But now that I've been using FCP, I'm not exactly happy when I export my Quicktime graphics from After Effects to FCP: they're extremely "milky" and faint/fuzzy when viewed from FCP over an NTSC monitor. I have tried various codecs when exporting: DV/NTSC, Animation, Component-- all with the same results.
    I have read other threads with similar comments (even the thread that mentioned "milky" results when exporting from FCP to AE and back) but none of the suggestions/remarks helped in my situation.
    I'm sure others have experienced this. Any suggestions?
    Settings:
    After Effects comp: NTSC/DV Preset (720 x 480, lower field, etc.)
    Export Codecs: DV/DVCPro-NTSC, Animation, Component (all with the same milky results)
    Final Cut: Sequence Preset "DV/NTSC 48 Khz"
    Also tried using, as one thread suggested, the "Uncompressed 8 bit NTSC 48 Khz" preset and no difference
    Side note: I'm using Final Cut in this system outputting to both DV video and Betacam video, using an Aja card for the Beta. Both DV and Beta results look the same (going straight thru the decks-to-NTSC monitor) and they both use the same "DV/NTSC 48 Khz" sequence preset-- except where I changed it to "Uncompressed 8 bit". If I use Animation or Component as my export codec from AE, naturally, I have to render to play the clip back in the timeline. It even looks milky or faint on the FCP source/viewer screens!
    And yes, I've checked the NTSC monitor-- a Sony Trinitron PVM-20 monitor. And I've looked at the results on other monitors and even regular TVs. Milky/faint video all around.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

    Is this on files with alpha channels? Have you tried
    changing the Alpha type? Are you having
    pre-multiplication problems?
    No, they don't have alpha channels. But I did try, when rendering with Animation, changing the colors to "Millions +" which was something I read on another thread. Same results.
    Basically, these are After Effects projects with simple backgrounds and moving text. I'm not doing any layering with alpha channels-- like lower third supers.
    However, whenever I use Apple programs like LiveType or Motion, the NTSC results look like they did while I was creating the projects with these programs before I rendered them.

  • Export from Motion to FCP

    I am editing a few title card for a project that will eventually return to FCP. I built title cards in Motion and now I getting prepared to export. Obviously, I want the graphics & logo to look as good as possible and I wanted to know what codec to export on to best integrate to FCP?
    The FCP sequence settings are 1280x720, pixel aspect ratio: Square, frame rate 59.94. Any good advice to a novice? Animation? ProRes HD?
    Thanks.
    best,
    brighamcottam
    ps. I will also be doing it for lower 3rds if that changes anything.

    Why not just bring the Motion project (.motn file) directly into FCP?
    No export necessary.

    Yar, this works if the OP's workflow is adapted to the procedures. Just personally, mine is not. Deeply rooted habits from Ye Olde After Effects: I like having the rendered movies available as media.
    To the OP's other question about the codec choice, Animation vs ProRes. The only reason to use Animation is if you know why you're using it: alpha. If you need the alpha and you want to stay in ProRes territory, you must use 4444. The last of those fours represents the alpha channel.

  • Titles squeezed when export from 16:9 FCP project but video OK

    Hi,
    I'm using Compressor to output a small QT file from FCP 5.1.4 to stream on the web; the source media is DVCPROHD 16:9. When I use the H.264 LAN presets, the video is displayed in the proper aspect ratio but the titles are tall and thin...any suggestions on how to correct this?
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi David,
    There is something wrong with the way Compressor handles stills & titles.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6548813#6548813
    The only workaround that I have found is to export titles separate using "Export-Using QT Conversion", and then paste them into the resulting QT file created by Compressor... Really convoluted and time consuming when dealing with a lot of files and a lot of titles.
    It would be great to hear from Apple about this issue.

  • Fuzzy video upon round trip export from motion to FCP

    I'm using Motion 4 to add master template lower thirds to my FCP video. When I bring a clip from final cut into motion (send to>Motion) then send it back to FCP after I add my text, the video itself looks as if it has taken on a slight blurriness. I checked that my project settings were the exact same by going to project properties in motion and making sure everything matched up with my sequence settings in fcp. They did. Am I missing a step here? I'm tempted to not roundtrip through motion because of this. Instead I'd like to just open the master template in FCP and use that. The reason I don't is because I do not have control over font color and other adjustments.
    Can anyone suggest a fix or point out what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    See if this post helps:

  • Audio falls out of sync with FCP sequence after export from STP

    Hey all,
    editing sound on a short film. sent FCP sequence to sweeten the dialog and add effects, according to the timeline it is the same length as sequence length in
    FCP, but when exporting from STP to FCP to complete movie, the sound ends up being about 10 frames longer than the video and starts in sync and falls out of sync over the duration of the film.
    Have tried changing preference settings in STP, exported about 5 ways to breakfast and all have same result.
    Anyone have a solution to this problem?
    Much thanks,
    Holly

    I just experienced this same thing, and as Christof says, it had to do with 'Easy Setup' and 'all formats'. I've been editing a picture shot on RED in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) at 2K (2048 x 1152) and 24fps...FCS 3 (FCP 7 latest version). Whenever you trash preferences or start up FCP new, you get the 'easy setup' menu. Previously, I could just hit 'okay' and go ahead into FCP and change the settings/resolutions within the project...even if the 'easy setup' default was, say, DV/NTSC 29.97. Also, when opening up an active project after trashing prefs, the project itself would still have the same editing/playback settings/resolutions, even if the 'easy setup' window had its default DV/NTSC setting. Plus, if you create a new timeline and its default is one format, once you drop a different format into it, it asks you if it should adjust to that format anyway, and of course, you say yes and everything is fine.
    Well....in this most recent FCP update, whenever I'd export an AIFF from the timeline and reimport....or if I'd just import an AIFF...it would do something to the playback rate of that newly imported/reimported sound file and suddenly its sync has drifted all over the place within just a minute or so. But strangely, it wouldn't do it to audio that's attached to picture (.mov/MP4/etc.)....only isolated audio files (AIFF/WAV). So naturally, I wondered if something was going on during the export process or the like.
    The solution is to make sure that when you open FCP (newly, or after trashing prefs), make sure you pick the settings/format/framerate in that 'Easy Setup' window that matches what you intend to edit as closely as possible. In my case, the format is Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), 2048 x 1152 @ 24fps, and I use a Blackmagic Multibridge so I have settings for it. Hence......*Format; HD, Frame Rate: 24, Use: Blackmagic HDTV 1080P 24 - 10 bit.* Whereas the default upon startup is....Format: (all formats), Frame Rate: 29.97, Use: DV/NTSC 48KHz.
    You can also set these in the 'Audio Video Settings' menu. Now, whenever I export and reimport an AIFF, or just import an AIFF (like the soundmix prepared by our sound designer), sync stays and there's no drift. So make sure you've picked the right settings when starting or reopening a project, again as Christof pointed out.

  • Everytime I export from FCP using comressor I am lose my audio, any ideas as to why this is happening. Or do I have somthing turned off and I am just missing it? Dual 2.7 Ghz PowerPC G5 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Exporting via Compressor may be recommended but it is slow and doesn't fully support all available filters, etc.
    Try exporting the timeline as a QT Movie (the "normal" export) using Current Settings and them submit the resultant clip to Compression. Works for me...

  • Significant quality loss and jagged diagonal lines when exporting from FCP

    I've been working on this problem for several days and I'm going insane! Every time I export my movie from Final Cut, there is a significant quality loss. It is most noticeable in two ways: diagonal lines become very jagged (looking somewhat like diagonal lines in an older video game -- more a diagonal sequence of blocks); also, in some areas such as faces, the colors get a little blurry and there seems to some "pooling" of colors around the edges of the face.
    I'm pretty sure the problem's not in capture: the Quicktime clips that I captured from the camera are all pristine. When I play them in Quicktime, I can blow them up several times their original size, and they maintain their sharp lines. (I also Reverse Telecined them all with Cinema Tools, if that's relevant.) I also know the problem's not just my computer monitor; when I play these movies on my external monitor and TV, they look bad too. The clips look bad after I bring them into Final Cut, and while I'm editing, but at first I figured that was because Final Cut sometimes doesn't show full resolution in the timeline. Still, when I export, the quality of the original captures just isn't there.
    Some details:
    Captured from 24A progressive, Sony HVR V1U HDV.
    Using Final Cut 6.0.1, Compressor 3.0.1, Quicktime 7.2.0, OS 10.4.10 (all the most recent versions I believe).
    I've exported in many different ways: using Compressor (and have tried a number of different settings: the DVD Best Quality 90 Minutes default Setting, as well as using a variety of bit rates from 3.0-8.0, One pass CBR, Two pass CBR, Two pass VBR, Two pass VBR best; Video Formats NTSC, HD 1440x1080...I have tried many combinations. Regardless of the size of the m2v created, the files seem to have the same problem over and over. I've also tried exporting from Final Cut as a Quicktime Movie and with Quicktime Conversion. Same result. I also tried using different compressors with my Final Cut sequence: Apple Intermediate Codec (which I used when capturing -- you have to with the Sony HVR), HDV 1080p24, HDV 1080i60, Apple Pro Res 422, H.264...
    What's happening? Why is Final Cut turning my nice pristine captures into jagged foulness? What can I try that I haven't yet?

    Welcome to the forums!
    Unfortunately, you seem to have tried everything I can think of, and I don't have the latest versions of FCP to know if it is a bug. However, in the off chance that you haven't given this a shot:
    Take a problematic 10 second section of your timeline (set in and out points) and the Export -> Quicktime (not QT Conversion) and make sure that you have it on Quality settings that you captured, and select the "Make Self Contained" box.
    Look at that in Quicktime and see if it's bad. If it's not problematic, use that video file in Compressor for your render.
    Hope that helps!

  • Export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro?

    Is it possible to export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro? If not, what is the preferred file format because my exported quicktime files come up as "incompatible format" when I try to add them into my DVD project. Any help is appreciated.

    You need to encode audio as well from Compressor. You'll have 2 files - audio and video.
    Here's a tutorial:

  • Exporting from FCP to DVD

    Hey
    Just wondering if I can get some advise. I need to export my project from final cut pro to DVD but just wondering what the best way to do this would be to get the best quality DVD. (This is for a company to take out to potential clients to sell what the company does - so it needs to look good!)
    My project is no longer than 5 mins
    1920 x 1080 - 1080i (16:9)
    Field Dominance: None
    frame rate 25
    I have Final Cut Studio latest version.
    I'm trying out a few options at the moment using compressor - best quality - so we'll see what these look like, but I'm not sure what all the settings should be set at.
    Any advise on what you think will be best would be great.
    Thanks

    Wouldn't use Quicktime conversion - no need. Just export from FCP as Quicktime Movie at current settings.
    In my experience, changing the field dominance from interlaced to progressive can cause stuttering particularly in motion graphics - this might not be an issue if you're laying to tape for broadcast but when you convert back to interlaced for SD DVD it can look very ugly.
    In any case, at the very least, you need to be using a Kona card or IOHD to do this type of conversion properly - and really, if you want progressive you should shoot progressive.

  • How does a 1.6-gig clip become an 11-gig clip when exported from FCP?

    I captured some video and had to do it in two sessions because my camera kept dropping frames. My first clip was 600 megs, my second was 1 gig. I put them into the timeline and synced them up at the break spot. I wanted to have just one file to work on in Shake, so I exported the two clips as a Quick Time movie -- no compression, self-contained -- a 720 X 480 NTSC file.
    Even with no compression, I expected to get a 1.6-gig movie out of the export, but it was 11 gigs. Where did the extra data come from? And what is the extra data? It cannot get any more resolution than there was to begin with in the original two clips, right?
    Any tips on a more efficient way to handle this situation much appreciated.
    JimBe

    The two segments were each about three and a half minutes long. The camera was a Sony Handycam DV. I did not have any special settings when I captured, I made one choice, to capture both video and audio. Yes, I did select uncompressed when I exported.
    So the camera is acquiring with a codec, it sounds like, but if I select uncompressed on export does that mean FCP will uncompress the compressed footage captured by the camera? I did not think that was possible. Isn't all the information thrown away by the camera when it acquires the footage with its codec?
    I was thinking that "uncompressed" export would just give me back what I put in, a 1.6-gig file. I did not want to compress a second time.
    Is there an export format choice that just gives you what you had without any manipulation of the original data?

  • PAL files exported from FCP don't display

    This is a strange one... SD PAL uncompressed files exported from FCP 6.03 won't display, you just see black. HD files are fine, as are SD PAL files exported a while ago - prior to a recent pro apps or QT update possibly? As a workaround, if they exported via compressor instead of by 'export quicktime' in FCP, they work fine. Shake is 4.0 since 4.1 doesn't want to display via a decklink.
    Any ideas? This seems to be a new one.

    Does the computer your using to view this video have Final Cut Pro installed?

    Have you tried opening the file in FCP?
    If there is no error message and it will not play in QT7, it is quite possible the file is corrupted. You will need to go back to the original project and re-export the file.
