Export to Blu-ray from Final Cut Pro 7 with LG BE12LU30 External Blu-ray

Hi all
I've got an iMac with Snow Leopard and I'm editing HD video in Final Cut Pro 7. I've created AVCHD discs on DVD to play in my Blu-ray player but now I want to create Blu-rays that will play in a regular Blu-ray player.
Has anyone got any experience of using the LG BE12LU30 External Blu-ray Re-Writer with FCP 7? I've checked other posts and it seems one user has had success with an earlier LG Model.
Basically if I connect this drive and use the Final Cut Blu-ray export option in share, will I be able to burn a playable Blu-ray?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi I have one of those drives too .. I use FCP to edit export the movie using 'current settings' and then import that movie Compressor .. alternative I also have Toast with the Blu-Ray plugin .. it gives a nice menu template and works well. http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/plugin/overview.html

    When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

    There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
    Does it play in your Mac?
    What brand of disks are you using?

  • Exporting HD video clips from Final Cut Pro in a format readable from IPad

    There are many ways to convert mp4 formatted videos into a file that can be sent to IPad via Itune and be read by IPad. However, my problem is that my videos are in a format 16 x 9 and the IPad screen is near 4 x 3 format and the pictures of my videos are squeezed horizontally.
    Which application could help me creating a letter box stype with black bands on top and bottom of the IPad screen so that I can have my 16 x 9 dimension of the picture kept correctly?

    Whatever your output from Final Cut, if you open in Quicktime and export or share and select Apple TV (iPad), your video shouldl be exported in a format playable on iPad.

  • Exporting 16:9 qt from final cut pro

    Have tried adjusting various settings and QT movies are all coming out 4:3 from widescreen project. Can adjust aspect ratio for viewing in QT but this isn't being read properly when burning to video.
    Any suggestions?

    If you just want to view this in QuickTime Player, do the following:
    Press command and J keys to open the Properties window.
    In that window, Click the Presentatation button, the on the Conform Aperture checkbox.
    Conform Aperture will jump to the Clean setting and display your video as 16:9.
    Only save in this format for viewing on a computer
    If by "Burning to video" you mean authoring a DVD, you have to change the Display Mode setting in the Track Inspector of DVD Studio Pro:

  • I am not able to export a certain project from Final Cut Pro X.

    I have never had this problem before. It is only on this certain project. The Share menu will not let me select anything. I even deselected the render background option and it did nothing. Should I just start over?

    I had a similar thing happen to me using 10.0.3. Even though I'd been working on the project, when it came to export the menu was all grayed out, as though nothing was selected for export.
    I got around it by going back to the project browser, clicking it, opening it again in the timeline and making sure I'd selected a clip from the project.... then it would let me export.
    It's never happened since I upgraded to 10.0.4 and I have no clue what I was doing wrong before.... sorry it's no help, but try everything else before starting again (unless it's short and easy!!)

  • What compression to use when Exporting HD video from final cut pro PAL setting

    Hi there
    I'm trying to export my HD video from Final cut Pro so that I can edit it in DVD studio Pro. I initially exported it on H.264 setting however it then gives me the message 'NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects' It was edited with PAL setting so I think it must be the conversion but i'm not sure which option to use.....been really struggling to get the 1 hour footage under 4.5gb without losing too much quality...
    Any advice greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    Just to add two suggestions.
    1) Consider putting your four movies on two disks.
    2) Bring your movies into Compressor and duplicate the stock DVD setting. In the Encoding pane of the Inspector, select a CBR and dial it back to around 6.2 to 6.5 Mbs. In Preview mark a small section and submit; you'll get 2 elementary streams, with m2v and AC3 extensions. Bring that into DVDSP and evaluate results. Adjust as necessary. (This is to avoid waiting out very long encodes and then having to start again from scratch if you get disappointing results.)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot export to Compressor from Final Cut Pro 5.1

  • Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

    Is it possible to create DVD Templates with Motion for burning Blue Ray DVDs from Final Cut Pro X?

    As far as I know, motion templates can only be used with DVD Studio Pro. FCP X only lets you add a background image to the DVD menu.

  • Why does Compressor take so long to export a 10 minute video clip from Final Cut Pro?

    I've been trying export a 10 minute clip from Final Cut Pro. so it can be used with DVD Studio Pro and burned. However, the rendering process has taken 12 hours! The clip I'm exporting has minimal effects, no music, and is in 1080i 30fps. Does anyone know what's going on or what I can do to speed up the process?

    First: How are you exporting? Are you using the Share feature or  Send to Compressor?
    Second: You haven't said anything about your system configuration or really very much about your movie. What is its format… is it really 30fps or 29.97? Whatever it is, are the project settings identical to the clip properties, or were they changed?

  • Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    It doesn't seem to work on mine, when I go to command: the export button is in grey, whereas all the others (import; customize) are black and can be actionned. Is this a restriction in the trial version or is there a way to activate export?
    Thanks
