Exporting HD Video From Final Cut Express HD

When attempting to export HD video from Final Cut Express using "uncompressed" setting, I notice that the output quality seems to be limited to "medium." If no compression is used, wouldn't that imply that the video quality should equal original footage?

All FCE Timelines are using the AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) for HD stuff if you selected the correct Easy Setup before you started your Project.
If you export as a Quicktime Movie then you are getting exactly the same export quality as the Timeline.
The Quicktime Movie can be either Self-Contained or a Reference file. Reference Files are great because they use/reference you exisating captured files on your Scratch Disc, use less space and export fast.
However if you need to play the export somewhere other than your Mac your will require the file to be Self-Contained.
QuickTime Conversion does just that, Converts to whatever you select.

  • Exporting video from Final Cut Express to be put on the internet

    Is there a way to export a flash file from Final Cut Express? I have a short video I am trying to put on my web site and I am finding that every format I try people who are using PC's are having trouble opening it. It all links back to Quicktime. Is there a way to not use Quicktime?

    It doesn't come with FCE. You need a Flash encoder. There are different ones of varying quality. Flash of course comes with one. Episode has Flash as an add-on. Do a google search for Flash encoders. Many encoders, after they're installed, will work directly from within FCE using the QuickTime Conversion function. There'll be a format option for Flash.

  • 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.)

  • Why has exporting a film from Final Cut Express (FCE) HD (3.5) taking 30 times longer and file size increased by 30X?

    Exporting a 75 minute film from Final Cut Express (FCE) HD(3.5) through Quick Time Movie is now taking over an hour instead of the 2minutes it used to take.  The FCEMovie file is now 14 GB instead of the 1 GB it used to be.  In both cases Self Contained was notchecked when exporting.  I havetried trashing the Preference file to no avail.  There was a message when opening the FCE project that 140render files were offline.  Ichecked the box to forget them and also did a Render All Both and Render Only Mixdownbefore exporting.  I had thisproblem a few days ago and solved it by reinstalling FCE.  However after two days the problem hascome back.  As far as I know I didnot change anything in FCE or the system when the export times and file sizeincreased.

    I think you are correct about the longer version being a self-contained movie except that I did not check that option when exporting.  However, I have opened another project of the same size and that one can be exported in the usual time, the problem must reside with the particular project.  A clue is that to regain some disk space I deleted the render folder for several projects including the one I am having trouble with.  Also when iI opened that project I got a message that files were disconnected and I think they were render files.  I did re-render before exporting and that is when the file length increased by a factor of 13, even though it was not supposed to be self-contained.  FCE is working OK with other projects when I export them.  I am still puzzled.

  • I can't export my video from final cut pro.

    I'm having trouble exporting anything from final cut pro x because there isn't any share button that I was use to before. It pretty much seems like there are no options seeing as they have simplified it to the point where there are no longer any options. Anyways here is a screen shot of my final cut hopefully someone will be able to help me.

    The Share menu changed in 10.0.6, and is now customizable from the Preferences of FCPX:
    You find the Share menu to the far right in the toolbar, as dastoelk wrote.

  • Can't Export Any Videos From Final Cut Pro X?

    Hello all-
    I just downloaded FInal Cut Pro X today, and as I tried exporting my first video to YouTube, I found I had no luck. I am able to select the option to export to YouTube, enter in my account details, edit the video preferences, but when I click submit nothing happens. The little export box just disappears. This happens for every single one of my share options.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I'm a little peeved that I just spent 300 dollars on a software that doesn't even let me export the video.
    Thanks much,
    Megan

  • IDVD and video from Final Cut Express

    I made few videos PAL in 4:3 format, and that was simple. Btw, I live in PAL country.
    When I start with 16:9 format, problem is beginning to show when I add QuickTime video (video was in 16:9 format, Anamorphic or HDV). First, picture of Sunflower or Vintage Vinyl theme shows on TV in 16:9 format. When the my video begins, I saw it on 4:3, not 16:9 format that I chose in the Project of iDVD.
    All recordings I have has been made in HDV or Anamorphic PAL.
    Who can write me how can I set video to 16:9 format?

    Make sure Quicktime 7 is open before you try Anamorphizer.
    Place a copy of your movie clip in a new folder and drag that clip over the Anamorphizer icon. This should create a second file in that folder that start with Anamorphic- This is the reference movie you drag-and-drop into iDVD. Note that your clip in that folder (which is the movie the reference movie points to, must not be moved or deleted).

  • Export OMF, AAF  from Final cut X ???

    Is there a way for export audio/ video from final cut x like OMF or AAF?  for professionnal use, it's very important !  

    In short: NO.
    as a pro evidently in need of exporting to Protools or whatever, you should stay away from FCP X,  & stick with FCP7 for now. Wait & see what fixes or solutions Apple comes up with once the smoke clears after tuesdays debacle of this software introduction. The ball is in their court now, everyone seems to be holding their breath for a reaction from Cupertino.

  • Exporting HDV from Final Cut Express

    I'm trying to export a video as an mpeg-2 from Final Cut Express and burn it onto a CD-ROM for use on a PC with Adobe Premier. Could anyone help on the best way to do so?

    There is no MPEG-2 export from FCE unless you have a third party encoder. You might try googling it. There are some expensive ones. Why does it have to be MPEG-2 BTW? Wouldn't QuickTime be better? It's fully support by Premiere on both platforms.

  • Is it possible to export video from Final Cut X to DSR-PD175 mini DV camera

    Hi,

    Now i am abel to capture my video from DSR-PD175 mini DV camera to FCP X.
    How can i export video from Final Cut X to DSR-PD175 mini DV camera?
    Please advise....
    Thanks & Regds

    II'm afraid not.
    Not digitally anyway. Maybe by going to a monitor that has analoh AV output to the camera.
    Probably Premiere. Or old FCP7.

  • Can't Export Video from Final Cut Pro

    After updated to OS Maverick, I can no longer export video from Final Cut Pro.
    It pops up "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.Compressor.CompressorKit.ErrorDomain error -1.)"
    ANYONE CAN HELP??

    10.0.2, I think this is where the problem is.
    I will update to the latest (10.0.9) and update this thread to see if this will resolve my problem.

  • Best export method of footage from Final Cut Express to DVD?

    I'm exporting footage from Final Cut Express using Quicktime Player and then burning the footage to DVD using iDVD.
    The end result on DVD has very jagged interlacing (or noise) on objects in motion which aren't present when viewing the footage on FC. I don't think the problem is with iDVD (I assume I'm burning a pristine copy of an already reduced-quality clip).
    Are there any changes I can make to the system preferences either on FC or Quicktime Player to reduce or prevent loss of digital information, or can anyone suggest better methods of export from Final Cut Express to DVD?

    Hello
    I'm not sure if this is relevant:
    I've been using the Quicktime Conversion settings;
    http://www.locationstudio.net/Settings.jpg
    29.97 Frame Rate
    Highest Quality
    NTSC/PRO
    I was under the impression that this was usually best - haven't had any problems with iDVD
