Export MPEG2 from Final Cut, HDV  for use it on PC platform

My client needs to upload the videos in a PC network, he asked me to deliver the final videos on MPEG 2. I have tried to export by using compressor but the clips come out without sound. How can I have the videos with sound and in MPEG 2?
Or is there any other format that I can export on, so the videos can run on a PC? I tried WMP from Quicktime but it only exports up to 30 seconds. Do I have to buy a Flip4mac to be able to export a longer file ? and if so which version of Flip4mac is advisable?
Please help me. Thanks.

I noted that by doing WMP videos the files are way smaller in size, which is very good for me because I have to FTP 20 videos of 2 min. each to my client. Is WMP the same quality or equivalent to MPEG 2?
I assume you mean WMV files?
Yes, WMVs can be superior to MPEG2 files, but it's all about the choices you make when you encode encoding them. It's also possible to get very acceptable WMVs at very small file sizes, again depending on your content and your encoding expertise.
Flip4Mac's documentation will take you through the steps and the choices. Pay attention to the details and test, test test.
I've found that Windows users are always happier with WMVs, as there are never any compatibility issues - and the last thing I need when the deadline is getting closer is troubleshooting my client's windows installations.
Best of luck.

  • How do I migrate metadata from Final Cut Server for use in Premiere?

    We're one of many companies looking to move to Premiere Pro from Final Cut.
    We have thousands of tagged clips in Final Cut Server and I'm trying to find a way to export all that metadata so it can be used, and searched for, within Premiere Pro.
    Does anyone know if/how this could be achieved?
    The only thing I've found online that seems to be relevant is this:
    http://www.andre-aulich.de/en/perm/export-asset-metadata-from-final-cut-server-using-built in-tools-only
    This seems to explain how to export the metadata (although I don't fully understand it) but not how to make it useful for Premiere.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Well... I'm a librarian by training so I use Cat-DV a little differently.
    I use it to make a searchable archive of proxy files for entire hard drives.  I hook up a hard drive (say an old external) and point Cat-DV at it.  It makes a catalog (locally) that has all the metadata (most importantly "date created") and a small proxy or thumbnail if it's a still.  Then I unplug the drive, label it and put it on a shelf.  When I need to find something all I have to do is consult the local catalog.  I can search it (if I included any metadata) or, most likely, I'll just scrub around for date created.  Cat-DV will display the exact path to where the asset is.  I can search across multiple catalogs of drives without ever having to plug one in,  Once I find the file I want, I just plug in that drive to retreive the file.
    I use it mostly for stills and some b-roll that gets used over and over.  For a variety of reasons, we never opted to make it a full replacement for FC Server. 
    And another thing... you can do a heck of a lot with the $99 or $300 version.  You don't need to go the full enterprise server route (though you do have to do that to use the server functions). 
    You might also want to try Adobe Bridge for searching and editing metadata.  In my experience, it's always been slow with video but that may well have changed.  I haven't played with it in a while

  • Exporting files from Final Cut Pro in Snow Leopard

    I am using Final Cut Studio 2. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Before the upgrade when I would export files from Final Cut the dialog box would automatically go to the last used folder location. Now, each time it goes to the system hard drive. Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks

    Fix what?
    Just choose the correct folder to which to export.

    II'm afraid not.
    Not digitally anyway. Maybe by going to a monitor that has analoh AV output to the camera.
    Probably Premiere. Or old FCP7.

  • How to up the DPI on exported images from Final Cut

    Is there a way to export stills from Final Cut that are 300 DPI, I think they are exporting at 72 DPI? 
    Catherine

    DPI is a measure of density of pixels. It tells us nothing about the printed size of the image (width in inches x height in inches)
    A 1200 x 900 image @ 300 dpi yields a 4" x 3" image when printed.
    That same size (in pixels) image printed at 100 dpi will yield a 12" x 9" print.
    The number of picture elements (pixels) is exactly the same between the two prints but the one in 100dpi image are 3x larger - which will yield a softer image when viewed from the same distance as the 4"x3" 300dpi image.
    However, if you view the 300dpi 4"x3" print from 2' away and view the 100dpi 12"x9" print from 6' away - they will appear the same.
    Discussions of finding meaning in DPI is difficult without knowing how the final will be viewed.
    fwiw - I've made poster size prints at 75 dpi that looked just fine when viewed from 10-12'.

  • Exporting from Final Cut Pro for DVD Studio Pro

    In the recent DVDs I've made, the quality seems lower than it has before. I don't think I've changed anything, but I was wondering what is the best format to export a clip from Final Cut Pro and the best way to encode those clips in DVD Studio Pro. Thanks for all your help!
    Erin

    The best and only format is mpeg2/m2v.
    The encoding rate for video is based on the length of the sequence in h/m/s.
    They should not be encoded in DVDSP, but exported as a self contained with current settings, no recompression and dropped into Compressor.
    Based on length and the type of footage, elect a preset for video and elect Dolby 2 for audio

  • What file type to export vid from final cut to studio pro

    Beginner here, the question I have is what is the best file format to export from final cut to studio pro so that I will play in a decent to good quality on a DVD that I make in studio pro. Thanks.

    For my FCS projects, I export DV_NTSC "anamorphic" (I use 16:9 format) to a "reference" movie: that is quite fast after all rendering is completed and the resulting file is pretty small. The only disadvantage to "reference" I've found is that you must keep all those FCS file around since those are what is referenced by the export.
    I export like that instead of exporting to compressor because for me, exporting directly to compressor is very slow; on my G5 Quad, my compression step is about 1:1 with real time.
    You can take those .mov files into DVDSP and let it do the compression using your defaults. I prefer to use Compressor directly so I can set the compression, Dolby, etc. parameters. Compress to mpeg2 and AC3 (Dolby Digital) and if you are just in stereo, just keep it in stereo, check the "no surround encoding" and make sure the highest audio level in either channel is -3db (or the compressor setting let you reduce the level by 3db). That prevents a downmix to mono (like on a cheap TV) from clipping (-3db + -3db = 0db. (zero plus zero = +3db and is clipping).

  • Export mpeg2 in Final Cut Expree

    Maybe this topic has been covered, but I cannot find a clear answer to my problem. I have been searching the net for almost an hour! :P
    I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1, QT7 pro with the Mpeg component. Mpeg Streamclip, and any number of open source programs.
    I just need to export an mpeg2 video from final cut express, simple.
    And before people start asking why... it for a solid state video player that requires MPEG2 or MPEG1

    Hello, and welcome to the Final Cut Express forum.
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to export MPEG2 or MPEG1 from FCE.
    You might try ffmpegx. It's aging but people have reported it working fine in Snow Leopard (10.6.x)

  • Exporting video from Final Cut Express to be put on the internet

    Is there a way to export a flash file from Final Cut Express? I have a short video I am trying to put on my web site and I am finding that every format I try people who are using PC's are having trouble opening it. It all links back to Quicktime. Is there a way to not use Quicktime?

    It doesn't come with FCE. You need a Flash encoder. There are different ones of varying quality. Flash of course comes with one. Episode has Flash as an add-on. Do a google search for Flash encoders. Many encoders, after they're installed, will work directly from within FCE using the QuickTime Conversion function. There'll be a format option for Flash.

  • How Can I do an export that from Final Cut Pro 7 that is specific to these settings?

    Hi
    I am current trying to export out a movie from Final Cut Pro 7 but the settings that are required are very specific and I was going to try it through compressor as well but I wasn't sure if that would work either.
    Here are the settings:
    HD:
    1 Video CODEC                 XDCAMHD50
    2 Wrapper format           QuickTime Self-Contained
    3 Bit rate                              50 Mbit/s Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
    4 GOP                                   Long GOP
                                                 Closed GOP
    5 Time code                       Must include embedded time code. Start-timecode: 10:00:00:00
    6 Movie version               UK Home Video Version
    7 Delivery time                 As per contract. Supplier to specify filename, delivery format and estimated time of arrival via email at least 60 days before                                                           transmission unless otherwise specified in contract. This should be accompanied by an IMDB link.
    1 HD video format           720 line progressively scanned (720p) @ 50Hz (25 FPS)
                                              1080 line interlace scanned (1080i) @ 50Hz (25 FPS)
    2 Resolution                      1280 x 720
                                               1920 x 1080
    3 Aspect ratio                    Content should be 16:9, however 4:3 will be accepted on exception (such as for older movies shot in 4:3)
    4 Graphics                           Must be within 16:9 safe graphics area (EBU R95-2000)
    5 Chroma format              4:2:2
    1 HD audio format           24 bits/sample 48 kHz sampling rate
    2 Track layout                    Track 1 – 2.0 Stereo L mono
                                                Track 2 – 2.0 Stereo R mono
                                                Track 3 – L
                                                Track 4 – R
                                                Track 5 – C
                                                Track 6 - Low frequency effects LFE
                                                Track 7 – L Surround
                                                Track 8 – R Surround

    First of all, what are your sequence settings?  Looks like they want stereo AND dolby 5.1 audio tracks embedded in the quicktime (I've delivered a few films like this).  Do you have a surround sound mix?  
    You will almost always have more options and control in compressor over fcp so that's the way I'd go, but not sure compressor will give you the ability to match these specs. 
    Do you understand about safe zones for graphics?  If not, post back.
    I don't see any option to set the GOP in xdcam in compressor.  This may be built in to the xdcam format.
    I don't see any option for 720 xdcam hd in compressor. 
    There are many other tools available for this kind of work, but they may be out of your price range.  You might want to just find a facility with experience in deliverying this sort of thing.
