Exporting Final Cut Pro Project to .wmv file format

I am a new apple owner and I am doing some editing on FCP. I would like to export my final project to a .wmv file format.
What would you recommend?

Autodesk Cleaner's codecs haven't really been updated in a long time. At $599.00, its a lot to spend for old technology - as for their WMV encoding, they use the WMV 7 codec.
The flip4mac and Popwire programs do a much better job and are more compatible with newer versions of Windows Media Player.
Or, as David Bogie Chq-1 said, you can use the free Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft if you have a Windows system.

  • Final Cut Pro 6 by Diana Weynard: Format too New FOR THIS VERSION OF APP?

    I purchased the book book Final Cut Pro 6 by Diana Weynard and it is a basics book overview of FCP However it comes with CD and I have downloaded the CD to my hard drive and when i open the files in
    FINAL CUT PRO 6 it says:
    FILES FORMAT IS TOO NEW FOR THIS VERSION OF THE APPLICATION.
    I did go to the website and download the updates.
    I have upgraded osx to 10.5.5
    FCP is at 6.0.4
    Quictime Pro 7.55
    Whats going on?
    I bought this book. And when I try to play the Lessons it says FORMAT TOO NEW FOR THIS VERSION OF APPLICATION?
    Are my settings wrong?
    I have seen this same thread and now answer. I would appreciate some major help from the top users on here! thanks guys

    the projects included with this book were built with and for FCP 6 ... if you do not have FCP 6 then its no good to you.
    what version of FCP are you running? with FCP open, choose *Final Cut Pro* menu *> About Final Cut Pro* and see what version it says there in the splash screen

  • Can I export Final Cut Pro files to Final Cut Express?

    Can I export Final Cut Pro files to Final Cut Express?

    FCE only works with DV for standard definition and the Apple Intermediate Codec for HD. Most FCP projects cannot be opened in FCE.

  • Is it possible to export Final Cut Pro X or .MOV to DVD Studio Pro (Final Cut Studio)?

    Is it possible to export Final Cut Pro X projects or .MOV to DVD Studio Pro (from Final Cut Studio v.3)? I'm using the free trial of Final Cut Pro X and later acquired a copy of Final Cut Studio (FCP 7, Compressor 3.5, DVD Studio Pro 4, Color 1.5, Motion 4, Soundtrack Pro 2).
    I don't like the default DVD export in FCPX, so I would like to do it on DVD Studio Pro. Is it possible to export the project or the final .MOV file to DVD Studio Pro?
    Additionally, can I use unfinished FCPX projects on FCP7?
    Is it possible to export from FCPX to Compressor 3.5 (Final Cut Studio)?
    Feedback would be greatly appreciated. As of this post, I have about 13 days left on my FCPX trial. Or would it just make sense to just use Final Cut Pro 7, since I have a permanent copy of it?
    Thank you.
    P.S. Where would be the best place to store projects or any other file related to Final Cut Studio or Final Cut Pro X? My MacBook Pro has 320GB built in storage (only 60GB available), and I have a 1TB external hard drive.
    What is best to store on the Macintosh internal hard drive?
    What is best to store on the external hard drive?

    Yes you can make DVDs in DVDSP using video exported from FCPX.
    There are some apps that will translate between X and 7- that said I would highly recommend not going back and forth as the translations are not 1:1 perfect.
    I would recommend storing all Events and Projects on the External drive.
    Compressor 3.5 will not accept exports directly from FCPX- you'll need Compressor 4 which is $49.
    Totally up to you whether you want to make the jump to X. 7 is an EOL'ed program, meaning there will not be another version of that application. Final Cut Pro X is the version being actively developed now.

  • Can't Update Old Final Cut Pro Projects

    I use Final Cut Pro for work and just recently updated. I didn't realize that I needed to have all my projects in my "Final Cut Pro Projects" file while updating. I had a lot of my projects in a "Final Cut Pro Projects-Not In Use" file when I updated my Final Cut Pro and now those projects will not update. I didn't have a "Final Cut Pro Projects" file after updating so I created a new one under "Movies" in my Finder and added all the projects to that and Final Cut Pro still won't update them. What am I doing wrong?
    Also, now that I've updated the projects are exporting as .MP4s and my boss wants them as .MOVs again. Is there a way I can change them to that?

    I have been trying to add a screen shot to this reply for the past ten minutes but I keep getting "An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again" So I will try to explain it to you.
    I click the arow on the bottom right hand corner. Then click "Master File..."
    My settings are:
    Format: Computer
    Video codec: H.264 Better Quality
    Resolution: 1920 x 1080
    Audio file format: QuickTime Movie (AAC)
    (don't click Include chapter markers)
    Open with: QuicTime Player (default)
    On the bottom it reads left to right:
    1920 x 1080 | 23.98 fbs   Stereo (L R) | 48 kHz  00:00:04:02   MPEG-4 movie 10.4 MB est.
    Then I click "Next..." and save it to my Desktop and click "Save"
    I hope that makes sence! Sorry the screen shots didn't work!

  • I need to burn a Final Cut pro project onto a DVD. I watched a tutorial but they were using Final cut Pro 10. How do I burn one just using Final Cut Pro? and can I go through IDVD?

    I need to burn a Final Cut Pro project onto a DVD. I watched a tutorial but they were using Final cut Pro 10. How do I burn a project just using Final Cut Pro? and can I go through IDVD? ( oh and how can I finalize the project?) Thanks!

    I did that already it it only burned one section of the project. How do I export a master file? Can i just save it on the computer then take it to IDVD? Thank you so much for helping me!

    How do you import final cut pro projects into imovie?
    (like you create a project in final cut but i want to save it, and import it into imovie..

    Hi -
    Mr. Ross is right, there is no direct way to export your project with all it's elements into iMovie.
    If, on the other hand, you have a completed sequence in FCP that you want to export as a finished element, then import into iMovie for you to re-edit or apply titles, music, etc. you would:
    In FCP:
    Click on the Sequence Icon you want to export in your browser.
    Go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie. Give your movie a name a navigate to where you want it stored. Make sure you choose Settings: Current Settings and have the Make Movie Self Contained checked. Click Save.
    Close FCP and open iMovie.
    In iMovie:
    Go to the menu File > Import > Movies and navigate to the movie you just exported from FCP. Choose if you want your movie imported in it's original size, etc.
    Click Import. Your movie will be imported into iMovie.
    Note that using this method only gives you only the elements that made up your FCP sequence, so this may not give you the flexibility you need.
    Hope this helps.

  • Open Final Cut Pro project in Logic Pro for audio editing

    I want to open a Final Cut Pro project i'm working on into Logic Pro without having to export my large FCP projects to video all the time. Is there any way of doing this?

    Thanks for replying to my question, I did mean Logic Pro but I'm relatively new to these programs. What's the difference with Soundtrack Pro and Logic Pro exactly? If I understood you correctly, Logic Pro would be the program I need since I need to create audio from scratch. Just to be more clear again, I want to see my video while composing audio at the same time but without having to export my video all the time since it takes long, being a big file. Thanks again for the reply.

  • Showing a Final Cut Pro project to an audience - from Final Cut or Quicktime?

    I've created a 13 min Final Cut Pro project to show at an Awards Ceremony of our college.  Is it better to show the video directly from Final Cut or to export it and show it from Quicktime?  What's the best quality output?

    hi,
    its not about quality. Since you can export out at the same quality as prorez. Its about performance. Since fcpx has to combine multiple sources, audio, graphix, video etc, then combine them al into a whole, there is far more that could go wrong. Always export out a finished mastered rendered file and play that. Just make sure that the computer playing the file back can handle it. ie if you chose an uncompressed codec to export out as, the computer may not like playing it back. Choose a prorez or h264 codec, they will be fine.

  • Importing Final Cut Pro Projects

    I know this might be a very silly question but -- when watching the tutorial for DVD Studio pro5, they imported a Motion Project that had not been rendered, it in turn got rendered when burning it to DVD. Is this possible with Final Cut Pro Projects?? Can I take a project or sequence and import it into DVD Studio without rendering or exporting it??
    In other words can DVD Studio use the Final Cut Pro Project just as a reference as it does with Motion or does it need to be one file??
    Anyone out there who can help me please?? Thank-you

    You cannot import FCP project. Just mov files, or m2v files. I believe only Motion works as you said.

  • How to save Final Cut Pro project to an ftp server to then open on a different computer

    Hello, I work for a graphic design firm that also does video production for businesses. We are using Final Cut Pro X in our office which has an FTP server connected to all office computers.
    What we want is to be able to have on employee start a project in Final Cut Pro X, save it to the server; then have another employee open up the same project and continue working from a different computer.
    Right now, we have a lot of our Final Cut files saved to the server, and the files will show up in the server on the other employee's machine. BUT, we scroll in the server to the file for the Final Cut Pro project on the other computer, and the file is grayed out, unable to be opened on the new computer.
    I've tried right clicking and choosing "open with Final Cut" and Final Cut does then open, but right before it opens the project within Final Cut, a message comes up saying "The document could not be opened. Open documents from within Final Cut Pro," which of course, I see no way to do that from within Final Cut Pro.
    I've also called Apple Care, they reminded me that we can't have one project open on two computers at the same time, and that's fine. We are willing to close the project on computer one to then open on computer two.
    If you have an answer let me know. We don't want to have to load onto an external hard drive to then load onto the other machine, especially since we have a server ready to go.
    Thanks for your help.

    You can share projects via the ftp server, but you need to:
    1) Have all the media in identical events on each editor's machine;
    2) Set up the project  and share the entire folder for that project first;
    3) Afterwards, you can share just the project file itself
    You CANNOT work directly on projects and events stored in the ftp server.
    See Steve Martin explain how to do all this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu-ga7fxKh8

  • Motion 3.02 - cannot open any final cut pro projects

    Please help. Motion won't open any Final Cut Pro projects, and I've been training to learn Motion, I'm stuck on this lesson because I can't open a FCP project. All FCP projects are greyed out when I go to Open in Motion, and even if I right click the project file and Open With and force Motion to, it cannot open the file. I can "Send To > Motion" in FCP and that works, but it's not the same.
    I have FCP 6.06, both are part of Final Cut Studio 2 Academic version. Not that my FCP version matters, because the CD provided in my Motion 3 training book gave me a (probably) FCP 6.0 project file, even when I updated it, it won't work. Not even my old old FCP files from previous versions can open with Motion.
    Much thanks.

    But it can be done the other way, perhaps you reads about that. Motion files can be imported into FCP and used just like regular clips.

  • Sharing and EDITing Final Cut Pro Projects...

    I'm trying to Share Final Cut Pro Projects between separate User Accounts. The originator of the Project saves to the Shared Folder, which should allow others to not only read, but Edit the files. Unfortunatley, the Scratch Files (video) within the Project always looses it's connection when the Second User connects and trys to edit the Project.
    Is their an easy way to Share the Projects so that Others can both Read and Save Changes? Does the Second User always have to rename the file to get it to save back to the Shared Folder?
    Thanks for any Help! !

    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    It's always been my understanding that you could open a project created by FCE in FCP, but not the reverse. I fear you may be out of luck.

  • I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

    I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

    Yes.  A couple of ways that might work.
    First Way
    What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence.  Does it display correctionly? 
    OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c).  Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted.  Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort.  That should maek things work.  What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence.  That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
    Second Way. 
    Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline.  You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.

  • Converting a Final Cut Pro project into one Final Cut Express HD can read..

    Is there any way I can convert a final cut pro project into something i can open in an earlier version of final cut, namely final cut express HD?

    Tim,
    Unfortunately you can not go from FCP to FCExpress. You can go backwards from say FCP7 to FCP6 or FCP 5 using XML's. The XML version depends on which FCP you have.
