Exporting in Final Cut only saves first 20 seconds...Project due in 2 days.

Hello all.
Working in Final Cut Pro here, And this problem has arisen: I finished editing my 10 minute final project for school. I set my in and out points for the sequence. Nothing is selected, I go to Export > Quicktime Movie. So far so good. I change the "keep current settings" to "DV-NTSC 48khz". I'm making this move self contained because I'm going to be authoring in DVDSP on a different machine. I name it and save it and it saves almost instantly. When I go to play it, it is only the first 20 seconds. HELP PLEASE! This is Dude in 2 days!!

Also, it's possible you have a file export size limit set in your preferences. Confirm that there's no limit on file export size. You might also try deleting your preferences. Also, have you tried exporting to a different drive.

Missing all export options in Adobe Premiere (can only export to final cut pro xml). Where are the options?

Missing all export options in Adobe Premiere (can only export to final cut pro xml). Where are the options?

There never was a trial version of FCP7. The application was only ever sold as part of the Final Cut Studio suite of applications. You might still find copies on eBay.

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?

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...

Final Cut only detects my HD camera as a DV-PAL basic???

Hi, I'm currently waiting for a director to come to my suite, so we can begin editing a film. This is the first time I'll be using HD footage on my suite, so I've hired a Sony Z1E HDV camera for the digitizing. I'm just trying to get everything ready for when she gets here and am testing the camera with mini DV footage I've shot on an SD camera before.
Everything seems fine but problem at the moment is, Final Cut only seems to detect the camera when I go to Easy Setup > DV-PAL Firewire Basic, it doesn't detect it when I use Easy Setup > HD > HDV - 1080i50.
Is this simply because I'm using an SD tape or do I need to worry?
If someone could give me the Easy setup settings and camera settings for this to digitize correctly, I'd be very greatful.
Thank you.
Alex

Is this simply because I'm using an SD tape....?
Yes.

Export a Final Cut Pro XML file problem about translation issue

When I export the final cut pro xml file, there is always translation issue like that 'Transition <....> not translated, Cross Dissolve used instead.'
Most of the transition type can cause the translation issues except the wipe and cross dissolve.
Is there any body knowing the reason? Is that OK?
By the way , I am using the trial version of cs5

Hey Ani_,
I've been working with Adobe products for a long time and typically when you come across an error that has anything to do with a XML file export problem its due to things such as effects you may have added in, color corrections, cross fades or any type of video transitions between clips. Remember your work flow should be
Import your footage into Premiere Pro
Name your clips (helps find things later on)
Place clips on time line in the order you wish (ONLY MAKE CUTS don't add anything, transitions color effects nothing)
Then once your clips are all placed on the timeline in your correct order you then EXPORT> Final Cut Pro XML
Now you can bring this into other programs for color grading or whatever else your going to do. You will notice you have no errors on the export.
Once your done doing what your doing to the clips in another program (for example: Divinci Resolve color grading) you can then export them back to your main project then add your effects and transitions.

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.

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?

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

How to Free up Disk Space to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime?

I am using Final Cut Pro on a Mac OX10. When I try to export a Final Cut Pro project to QuickTime I get a message saying that I do not have enough disk space available. How do I free up additional disk space? (I am a little confused because I have already deleted more disk space than I am current trying to use)
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Might try restarting the computer, just to refresh the system's memory... be sure you empty the trash too... the new space won't show up until you do.

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:

Best high quality format to export from final cut for DVD

What is the best format to export in final cut to put onto a DVD?
Mostly its footage from VHS so it doesnt have to be awesome but need some tips
cheers

You can't get any better than what your Sequence settings were in FCP. Export a self-contained or reference movie (File->Export->QuickTime Movie) from FCP. Do NOT recompress all frames, but do include DVD-SP markers (if any).
Bring the resulting file into Compressor and choose the appropriate DVD preset. You can duplicate, then modify a preset if needed.
You'll have two files from Compressor: an MPEG-2 video file (.m2v) and a Dolby Digital audio file (.ac3).
Import those two files into DVD-SP for authoring and burning.

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.

Best way for exporting a final cut file

Hi, I'm exporting a final cut project so i can use it in dvd studio pro 4. But it's over two hours. does anybody know the best way to compress it?

Your post isn't clear.
Are you exporting it through compressor to mpeg2/m2v or are you exporting a self contained movie to be encoded in Compressor?
There's a different.
If self contained, use the current settings default.
In any case, clarify what you are doing.

Exporting in Final Cut only saves first 20 seconds...Project due in 2 days.
