Exporting from a MAC in FCP to a WMV file

Hi,
Having some issues with exporting a WMV file on Final Cut 5. It will only export a 30 second clip. I have been reading that I need to buy Flip4Mac or Quicktime Pro to convert a Quicktime file into a full lenth WMV file. Do I really need to purchase more software? Or is there a way to to do that in Final Cut or Compressor? I am trying to export a 720x480 WMV file from a 1280x720 file.
Thanks in advance.

I have used Media Converter for mac by iSkysoft for the past year - $50.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.

    once you've formatted it - you can now use it in both your macbook and windows computer.

  • Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • Export from After Effects to FCP

    Hi,
    I'm creating a 3 minute presentation at 1920 x 1080.
    I'm just wondering what would be the best way to export from AE and from FCP?
    At the moment i'm exporting animation compression quicktime movies from AE and bringing them into FCP. It seems to struggle when moving up and down the timeline.
    I was going to export from FCP as a Windows media file as the playback is on a PC at an exhibition but I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to export for smooth playback. I'm thinking that I may have to export the movie in segments
    Many Thanks

    1920 x 1080 with an animation codec is going to generate a HUGE file. No surprise your timeline has come to a standstill.
    Why not render it to match your other clips/format of your finished film?
    I guess some kind of HD format given the size.
    There's no best way to export, you need to know what export settings to select in order for it to fit your workflow or destination format.
    If the file is for playback on a PC in kiosk mode, why HD? I very much doubt an internal PC HDD could keep up with 1920x1080 playback without some extra beef in the hard disk department i.e and RAID system.

  • FCP Project to .wmv file?

    I have a FCP project that I have to export as a .wmv file. Can this be done?

    It's Telestream converter for Windows Media. I have the HD studio version. It works out of FCP or Compressor. I was using Squeeze but they're using the new VC1 encoding instead of wm9. It caused some playback problems on our streaming server.

  • Import/Export from Betacam SP to FCP

    I have been contacted to make minor edits to a program for broadcast. The program is on Betacam and I plan to import the footage using a Sony Betacam SP UVW-1600 plugged into an ADS Pyro AV Link Bidirectional DV Media Converter connected via firewire to a Mac Pro with FCP, make the edits and then export back to Betacam via the same route. Can this be done the way I have planned? If so are there any changes I need to make to the video before it is exported (timecode, etc.) for broadcast?
    This is not something we normally do and the import/export makes sense the way I have planned it out. But I have learned with video and all the various formats that it is usually never as easy as it seems.
    Any help or advice is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Leon

    This isn't the best way...it really isn't. You are converting the beta footage to DV when you go through the Pyro...then editing it in a 720x480 space instead of 720x486...then you will be sending that back out to Beta...and now will have vertical blanking where you are missing 6 pixels...and your quality will really suffer...and might no longer pass QC.
    Then you have to figure out how you will do deck control...you will need a USB>RS-422 adapter.
    You really need to get a capture card. The Decklink Extreme can be had for $995 and does SD and now prepares you for HD work...as it does HD too. Decklink does have cheaper SD only cards, as does AJA...but since the world is moving HD, it is time to get prepared for that.

  • Are tiff files exported from PC, Mac compatible?

    I need to submit photos from my PC OS via Lightroom that are LZW compressed and Mac compatible. Photoshop Elements has a setting for Mac compatible files but Lightroom 2.3 does not. Does anyone know if Lightroom exported tiff's from a PC are Mac compatible?

    PC v Mac compatibility is a throwback to when the both computers used differents CPUs, and dependent on the hardware reading words left-to-right or right-to-left. Adobe TIF readers have never been CPU dependent because they were appropriately savvy of the TIF header and its CPU indicator.

  • Can I Export from my Mac/iMovie to a Flashdrive Camcorder to TV?

    Hi. I've never used a HD camcorder before or edited with HD (only MiniDV camcorders and SD editing).I'm considering purchasing a HD camcorder with internal flashdrive and SD slot to use with iMovie.If I do so I'm wondering …………after I've completed editing my iMovie project………..is it possible to export the finished movie back to the camcorder (as I have done with my MiniDV camcorder)…then connect the camcorder to a TV set (Standard or HD) in order to watch the finished movie on TV?And if so……how would I go about this? Yes…I know I could burn a DVD…….but since iDVD doesn't support Blueray burning…..I would be losing the HD quality………..so wondering how to watch the finished HD movie on TV other than by DVD? Thanks for any help.

    short answer: No.
    long answer: perhaps ..
    prob here is: AVCHD, which is in use on any (most...) flash-mem devices isn't just a file, but a complex structure. iM isn't able to create such a structure.
    3rd party developer shedworx.com offers on its site a solution to 'play out' in AVCHD - no hands-on here.. try on your own.
    but ...
    AVCHD and SDcards are not meant as 'cassette replacement'.
    your options are:
    • invest in Toast10pluginext. BR-burner - create 'HDef disks'.
    • purchase AppleTV (Apple's idea of homebrewn-video-delivery, not cheap but veeeery convenient)
    • usage of a 3rd party MediaPlayer, recommended Western Digital HD Live, which is actually the only one which supports hfs+ (=Mac) formatted drives. you have to 'backup'/playout the projects anyhow.. so, why not suing the drive as a .. drive.
    or buy a Playstation3 .. excellent Mediaplayer PLUS it's a .. play station .. says my son

  • Printing from CS3 after export from LR2  (Mac OS X) blurry / undersaturated

    Hi all,
    New to the forum and it might be with a question which already has been answered but I really could not find it, so here's my try.
    Recently bought a Canon 50D and Pixma 4600 and started shooting pics (RAW) of my newborn kid. After importing and basic processing (WB, exposure, noise) in LR I exported pics to CS3 in various ways (TIFF 16 bit, DNG, Original file, different DPI, up to 500 etc.) and did some detail work over there.
    After printing from CS3 all pictures look slightly blurry, undersaturated and underlit. Did a lot of trying on all settings (IP4600 profile from CS3, saturated, relative. etc. etc.) and when finally comparing identical pics printed from LR and CS3, the detail and overall quality of the LR pics is much better.
    Any help would be greatly welcome as I cannot imagine being the first one with this problem and because I am convinced that it should be possible to print very accurate and brilliant images from CS3.
    Overview of equipment :
    Canon 50D
    Imac 20", 2.4 GHz 4 Gig memory
    Pixma IP4600
    LR 2.1

    I'm just going to say "wow", because this worked for me.  I was ready to chuck the printer out the window since I've tried virtually everything in every other single thread here, and nothing has worked. I had my doubts about d/ling the European driver, but it completely worked.Thank you!!

  • Export from FCE 4 to FCP 5

    I have a Final cut express 4 project, and I am transferring it to a computer with Final Cut pro 5, however final cut pro says the file is too new. is there any way, or any application, to convert it? Anything would be useful.

    Not unless you know someone with FCP 6.5 or later who can open the FCE project and export it to an early version of XML which can be imported into FCP5.

  • Export from Motion - Soft in FCP

    I created a graphic in motion, output it into fcp and the type and graphics are a bit soft.
    The export was to a DVCPro DV Quicktime file.
    Anyone else notice this?

    How do you fake a roundtrip?
    I think I was talking out of my left nostril there.
    What I meant was something like sending a clip on a roundtrip through motion, though you don't use the clip at all. Thus avoiding the file step.
    Now I think it's a terribly ill-conceived idea.
    Somebody else just posted the same problem, as far as I can tell:

  • I have a new ipad and want to create files for my documents I brought over from my Mac. How do I create file folders?

    I would like to create file folders for my documents I brought over to my ipad from my desktop Mac. I downloaded pages and neu.annotate. My files synced without a problem. PDF articles I put in neu.annotate and pages documents into pages but I would like to organize into folders like on my desktop. How can I do this on the ipad3?

    Unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system and everything on it has to be stored/associated within an app, you can't have separate folders of documents/files on your iPad's homescreens. If the apps that you have support it then you could possibly use Dropbox to store your documents within a folder structure, but you'd then need internet access in order to access them.

  • HELP! Moved website from one mac to another but lost some files...

    I recently purchase an iMac (my wife already owns a MacBook)... I had created a website using iWeb and transferred the DOMAIN files to my new computer... I worked on the website for several hours last night, published it to a folder and everything looks fine.. HOWEVER< this morning I tried to open iWeb and some problems are occuring...
    iWeb opens and starts to pull up my website to work on but ALL of the necessary files are reportedly missing... the interesting thing is that all of the files are actually on the desktop in the Site folder.. hmmm... I copied the domain file to Aplpication Support/iWeb/ - was this not correct?
    I am hoping that this is an easy fix.. maybe I just need to have the domain file in the same folder as the files it is looking for...
    any thoughts?
    thanks in advance for your help...

    You can keep the domain file anywhere you like as long as it is in its own folder.
    If its not in the default location -Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb- all you do is double click the domain file to launch it in iWeb.
    Try quitting iWeb, delete the preference file - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist, restart your Mac and run Disk Utility to repair permissions.

  • NFS exports from Mac

    Hello,
    I have a little home network with a Mac and an NSLU2. The NSLU2 exports some directories (or folders) via NFS to the Mac. Additionally it makes backups from the files its exporting.
    Now I wanted to do the other way round: export from the Mac the /Users directory via NFS to the NSLU2 so it can make backups from the /Users directory too. But the NFS export (Mac to NSLU2) isn't working.
    I used NFS Manager 2.8 for the NFS imports (works like a charm) and for the exports (works not at all). The NFS Manager doesn't show me the list of exported directories (nor does 'showmount -e' on the Mac nor does 'showmount -e <Mac-IP-address>' on the NSLU2 show any exported directories). Furthermore a 'rpcinfo -p' doesn't show an entry for nfs with port number 2049. I had a look at some websites but all seem to show that I didn't do anything wrong.
    So, what's going wrong? I don't use Mac OS 10.4 Server. Could this be a problem?
    Regards
    Michael.

    I had the same question, NFS is so much more responsive than SMB but isn't so obviously accessible on OS X. I found this site:
    http://astcomm.net/tech/nfs_howto/server/
    Works perfectly but you have to be careful with the Firewall. I enabled UDP port 2049 (nfsd), tcp and udp ports 111 (portmapper), and then used rpcinfo -p to see which udp port mountd was using, unfortunately this tends to change each time it is started so you can't put a fixed value into System Preferences for the firewall. Still trying to work out how to resolve that.
