Export through Final Cut Pro of .mov file results in non-viewable file...

Hello,
I recently worked on a film and had asked for a .mov version of the movie so I could get an uncompressed HD version in case I wished to use it for my demo reel (video for actors).
I was present when the director exported it and he exported it from Final Cut Pro (the latest version) and he exported it as a .mov file.
Well, I just tried opening the video and it does not work. In Quicktime, the error message:
"The movie "movie.mov" can't be opened.
You may need to install additional software to open this type of file.
I'm thinking it might be a codec issue.
Do you have any suggestions as to how the movie should be exported so that I avoid this type of error message?
I tried opening the file in iTunes and I got the audio, but the video was black. Another clue that it's a codec issue.
I just need a high quality (as uncompressed as possible) file that I can then add to an editing program and insert into my demo reel. I need the high definition format to be retained.
As for the frame-rate, etc. I'm not sure. It was done with high quality and expensive video equipment and didn't use tape. I know it was high definition and widescreen as well.

Nope, I don't have Final Cut Pro on my system.
I clicked on Get Info and nothing about the codec appears.
"Kind: QuickTime movie"
"Size: 1.99 GB on disc" (it is about 6 minutes long; that I remember)
"Title: movie.mov"
"Last Opened" is the next and last thing that appears.
I tried opening it using VLC and the movie just stops and starts throughout. It plays for just a second and then stops and I have to keep clicking the "Play" button to get it to keep playing.
Actually, just now I tried it again in VLC and it just kept stuttering.
From VLC, I chose Media Information and under Codec Details, the following appeared:
Stream 0:
Type: Video
Codec: MPEG-1/2 Video (xdvd)
Language: English
Resolution: 1920x1080
Frame rate: 23.976000
Stream 1:
Type: Audio
Codec: PCM S16 LE (sowt)
Language: English
Channels: Stereo
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Bits per sample: 16
Should I ask that the movie be re-exported using the ProRes codec???

    How to play an HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro? on a mac?
    Most FCP users export them in a high-effeciency distribution/delivery compression format (e,g,, H.264/AAC) targeted for a particular application and/or device. For example, you could export using H.264/AAC at full display resolution for playback in the QT Player at an appropriate data rate if your platform and display can handle the output. TV would limid the video to 960x540 at 30/29.97 fps and normal AAC audio to 160 kbps at 48.0 KHz. Files exported for display an the Internet would be restricted by the bandwidth being targeted. Etc, etc, etc. Unless the file will only be played on your own platform, what you do not want to do is use an FCP only compression format which would limit viewers to those recipients have the same FCP codecs installed.

  • Export a Final Cut Pro XML file problem about translation issue

    When I export the final cut pro xml file, there is always translation issue like that 'Transition <....> not translated, Cross Dissolve used instead.'
    Most of the transition type can cause the translation issues except the wipe and cross dissolve.
    Is there any body knowing the reason? Is that OK?
    By the way , I am using the trial version of cs5

    Hey Ani_,
    I've been working with Adobe products for a long time and typically when you come across an error that has anything to do with a XML file export problem its due to things such as effects you may have added in, color corrections, cross fades or any type of video transitions between clips. Remember your work flow should be
    Import your footage into Premiere Pro
    Name your clips (helps find things later on)
    Place clips on time line in the order you wish (ONLY MAKE CUTS don't add anything, transitions color effects nothing)
    Then once your clips are all placed on the timeline in your correct order you then EXPORT> Final Cut Pro XML
    Now you can bring this into other programs for color grading or whatever else your going to do.  You will notice you have no errors on the export.
    Once your done doing what your doing to the clips in another program (for example: Divinci Resolve color grading) you can then export them back to your main project then add your effects and transitions.

    how i do Export project final cut pro to edius

    The other option is to get Xto7, which may be much easier than Resolve and faster.

    But I don't know if Edius reads XML files.
    If you need EDL files, DaVinci Resolve LITE (free) is the way to go.

  • Exporting to Final Cut Pro

    Hi everyone
    I am trying to export to final cut pro from preimer. basically my teams work flow is in FCP so i need to work with them. I have exported a EDL from Cs4 Pr but It dosnt import into FCP I get an error. that says " error importing edl"
    any one done this succesfully?
    there is one line of video and no audio in the project.
    Any help would be wicked

    You aren't doing anything wrong. It is still a quicktime movie, but set to auto open by FCP.
    Two things:
    (1) add a .mov extension to it.
    (2) select it in the finder, and do a get info. Change the Open With... to QuickTime Player.
    Make sense?

  • Tried to export my Final Cut Pro and I get an error; QuickTime Error: -50.

    I am trying to export my Final Cut Pro project and when it is exporting, about 20mins later, it gives me an error.  How can i fix the problem.
    Error code: QuickTime Error: -50

    Try deleting preferences (use Preference Manager, a free application).
    Also, you may try copying everything in your timeline and pasting into a new project. See if that exports correctly.

    Hey, can you export in Final Cut Pro X Trial?? I've used each of the share options and none of them actually work.

    The trial is a full-flavored actual version of FCPX - which doesn't support your OS.
    How did you manage to download it, anyhow?!

    There never was a trial version of FCP7. The application was only ever sold as part of the Final Cut Studio suite of applications. You might still find copies on eBay.

  • Exporting a final cut pro movie to a quick time

    I'm trying to export a final cut movie from Final Cut Pro 5.1 to a Quick Time, this is a 2 hours movie and after couple hours it converts my movie into 13 Quick Time files (2GB each) instead of just 1 file of 25 GB.
    Do you thing that I have to change any settings or is it any other way that I can get just 1 QT file?

    What is your export codec?
    Isn't there a 2 GB limit for MPEG-2 format?
    What is your goal? Where will the file be viewed or used?
    A 2 hour DV file would also be about 25 GB's. Use DV Stream as your export codec if it fits the source file and your needs.

  • DVDs through Final CUT PRo

    Is it possible to run a DVD and record it into FInal cut pro?
    I was thinking if I attach my DV VHS combo to the DVD player and then through the computer it might work.
    Also does the VOB file that you get from DVD shrink on a PC import into final cut pro? Is there an equivalent of shrink on the mac?
    thanks

    With a program called Cinematize, you can take any video from an unprotected DVD and save it as many different formats that you can import into FCP. You have a lot of control over the video and audio exporting, and you can choose the clips you want to use.
    http://www.miraizon.com/products/products.html
    I have had many clients bring in DVD's of their home movies that they have already had transfered. Because the DVD's are not copyright protected I can pull the desired clip from the DVD and use it as I please. I would recomend looking into this program or something similar as others have suggested. Cinemtize is very simple to use.

  • Exporting from Final Cut Pro - Quality of AfterEffects Text Graphics

    I am once again struggling with Final Cut Pro exports in terms of the look and quality of AfterEffects graphics.
    I have AfterEffects MOV files that look fine as is (both as Animation and as Apple Pro Res) and they look fine on the timeline in FCP 7.   When I export though from FCP (in multiple ways - H.246, AppleProRes, 1080/720, etc.), the graphics within the exported video are breaking up and look pixellated.   Any advice?   Thank you!!  - [email protected]

    This is very hard to tell because, first, we don't know anything at all about your export settings, frame rate, frame size or even how you are judging the quality, and second, this is not a Final Cut Pro forum. There are a bunch of FCP users that use AE but if everything looks great coming out of AE as a rendered DI (digital intermediate) and your are using the DI in FCP then the problem is in Final Cut.
    Maybe a better explanation of the process in FCP and some screenshots or examples of the rendered from FCP vs the rendered from AE would help us figure out what is going on.
