Exporting from F.Cut Ex 4 to DV tape not working!!!

I work for a TV channel and urgently need to export edited footage back onto DV tape for them to work with.
INFO Macbook Pro 2.66Ghz Snowleopard OSX 10.6.2 Work with PD170 Sony Camera & DV tapes. Connecting through Firewire.
When I press 'capture to tape' it does fire up the camera and the tapeheads turn and records, the sequence can be seen on the mac playing normally, but when we play back the tape we've recorded to theres nothing there except a blue screen.
What are we doing wrong, are there certain settings you need? Please help! This is a contracted job that has very tight deadline this month!

Regarding your camcorder -
• Make sure it is in VTR mode; you will have to manually start the recording.
• Make sure the camera is set to DV mode (not DVCAM)
• Make sure that it is set to DV-IN mode. This is a setting that tells the camera what input the a/v signal will be coming from. (Some cameras call this AV->DV OUT, which needs to be ON for analog input; OFF for DV input via FireWire.)
• Make sure your camcorder is connected via FW to your Mac, and turned on, before you start up FCE
If everything is working correctly, you will be able to see the video on the camcorder LCD screen; if the screen is blue or black the camera is either not receiving a signal or the camera settings are incorrect.
Regarding FCE -
Make sure your sequence is fully rendered and the audio is mixed down
• +Sequence > Render All > Both+
• +Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown+
Make sure FCE 'sees' your camcorder. You may need to do +View > Video Out > Refresh Video Devices+
You can record a DV sequence back to tape two ways:
• Print-To-Video, which allows you to specify some things before playback
• *Just play the sequence* with the camcorder connected (In my experience this is more reliable than Print-To-Video)

Exporting from Final Cut Pro back to DV tape

Is it possible to export a project done in Final Cut Pro back to mini DV tape? I need to do it in order to put in on a Windows machine at school. Or, is there a way to export it so I can import it into a Windows machine to use with Final Cut Pro? Thank you.

Yes,
- hook up your camera to the computer via firewire
- put the camera in VTR mode
- push RECORD on the camera
- play the timeline
- STOP recording when the sequence is complete
- your material is now on the tape.
Gotchas ...Make sure you have set the display and the audio to be sent out firewire to the external monitor (aka your camera).
For an alternative to the process described above, read the manual section on "Print to Tape".
Once at school, your windows machine needs the ability to capture video material.
Or, is there a way to export it so I can import it into a Windows machine to use with Final Cut Pro?
Final Cut Pro does not run on a Windows machine. I don't understand your question.
good luck.

Best video format to export from final cut pro to encore

hi, i'm using final cut pro and no matter what format i export my video in, be it quicktime, mpeg2 or avi, there's still a slight degradation of picture quality when i import it into encore. mpeg2 by far suffers the least. but is there a best video format i can export from final cut to adobe so dat there's minimal loss in quality?

Sure, export it as an uncompressed AVI or QT file.

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

Exporting from Final Cut Pro

Hi I have shot a show that ran for 2 hours. I have edited and now just need to know how I should export it and what format so it can fit on a dvd. I will be using iDVD 5 for the menus, and I am under the impression iDVD 5 doesnt support mpeg 2 files. So i need another way to export from Final Cut and then put it in iDVD 5 then onto a dvd.

I'm afraid I've mis-stated some information, and I apologize.
First, you would need to select 'best QUALITY' for anything over 60 minutes.
Generally iDVD5 should successfully create a 90 minute DVD. It is supposed to be able to create up to 2hours of content, but that would include all media creation items, including movie file(s), motion menus, drop zones, music...etc.
I had come across a link that discussed creating longer DVDs in iDVD, but it works with iMovie and is not totally relevant to this forum.
Again I apologize, but if it interests you, here is the link...

Audio out of synch after I export from Final Cut

I have a video on a Final Cut timeline. If I play in FC, audio is in synch. If I play the file in QuickTime player from my captures folder, the audio is in synch. If I export from final cut, or from quicktime pro, the audio of the resulting file is off by about 1 second. I was trying to make a h.264 file, but it does the same thing if I export to other formats as well.
This only seems to be happening with this particular video. I have a number of project loaded right now, and do not have this same problem with the other projects.
Weird....any help would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't include any of your specifications for the sequences or exported movies but a problem that only exists on a single item is directly associated with that item and can be identified but they're usually subtle.
My first guess is that the audio on the original media is set to a slight different sampling rate. Could be off a thousandth of a decimal. The reason it works in the timeline is it's being conformed to the sequence settings in realtime. The export would reference the original.
I can't tell from the post where you're getting this loss of sync. Can you try exporting a self-contained movie and then use that to go to h.264?

Export FROM Final Cut w/ alpha?

Is there a way to export from Final Cut and sustain the 'alpha'. For example, I'm exporting the video layer from an infomercial offer screen and will bring it into AE.
I don't think there's a way but I just wanted to throw it out there in case there's a new trick someone knows.
Thanks...and don't give me any AE tips...just wanted to know the alpha thing,
Tom

you can also use any of the Avid QT codec's as an intermediate (their codecs are freely available available for download from their website and they all support alpha ... even AvidDV)
or there is BitJazz's Sheer codec (commercial) ... or if you can wait then there's Red Giant's Microcosm codec (soon to be a free release)
also check this list here:

FLV Export From Final Cut Pro

Hi Folks,
I've been reading and reading and just want to know what is
the right way to go about exporting video from a third party
application like Final Cut Pro. Yes, the easy way is to
Export>quicktime conversion and go from there. If this is the
best way then great, But i'm wondering if exporting as a lossless
quicktime codec such as the Video codec or the Anitmation codec
would be a better choice then go to the flash video encoder with
the lossless file. I heard that exporting straight out of FCP could
be bad as the video needs to be deinterlaced before the flv stage.
If this is the case, what are the best settings when
exporting a lossless quicktime file? There are about 6 setting s
that need to be set and I haven't a clue what would be the right
settings.
If exporting from final cut straight to flv, are you folks
dropping the frame rate to 15 fps(cutting your frames in half). Is
this working better for you?
Well thanks for all your help, I keep on testing short clips
and can't seem to find a any certain configuration that i really
like.
hanks so much for all your help.
todd

Todd ..
We do quite a bit of video / flv work.
Our editing software is VEGAS so unfortunately we can't
render directly to flv .. but avi->flv via Sorenson Squeeze.
If Final Cut allows rendering directly to flv, my
recommedation would be to use that functionallity. Caveats .. if
the encoder can 1. deinterlace i.e. progressive scan. 2. reduce
your framerate from 29. to 15. 3. gives you the ability to control
# of key frames.
The logic being .. use the fewest number of encoding methods
to get from source to output to maintain best quality.

Exporting From Final Cut for Dropbox

I have a 2GB Dropbox account that I would like to utilize as a way for my clients to view their projects. Specifically I have a 30:00 program that I need to export from Final Cut to Dropbox. Could someone suggest the best export settings to create a less than 2GB file? Every setting I try always produces a file greater than 2GB. If you could please be specific as possible; do I export using Quicktime or Quicktime conversion? What compression do I use? Etc. Thank you so much.

I don't know...i'd go with the H.264 for iPod video and iPhone preset in Compressor. Oughta squish it down pretty good and still look nice.

Color differences when exporting from Final Cut

I have a big problem when exporting from Final cut to any file format. The colors and contrast looks fine in Final cut and on my external monitor but when exporting to, for example, H.264 I get a file that is "washed out". Colors are bleak and the over all feel is not what I expect. The funny thing is that if I import the exported file into Final cut it looks fine. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me out with this?

QT brightens the image. Dunno why...perhaps so that it ensures that every monitor can see it?
Here is an example:
But I don't know why that is.

How to play an HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro?

How to play an HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro? on a mac???

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.

How do I move aiff files from the viewer to the timeline-it is not working when I try to drag and click or clicking on overwrite or insert in Final Cut Pro 7. Thanks

You cannot move audio from the viewer
Mark your in and out points then in the browser grab hold of the audio tracks icon and drag that to the time line

TS3276 I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone

I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated!
