Exporting QT raw captures from FCP

Hello
I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I am taking raw capture files in QT format (from a Hi-8 source) via Final Cut and giving them to a client to edit and transcode into WMV's.
I have just captured a very long tape but accidentally cut the end off, therefore i had to recapture the last few minutes.
There seems to be no way to combine these two raw QT's, so my question is...
Is there a way to export these files (once i combine them in FCP) into one QT (that retains the original quality of the raw capture) so that the client wouldn't know?
Thanks

You can edit, copy and paste, between open QT Player files using nothing more than QT Pro. Open both into independent players, copy one, paste it into the other.
Umm, I know it can be done, but I havent' used QT Pro to build anything for more than five years so...
RTFM, see the online help system for QT Pro.

  • How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

    How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

    See if any of this info will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.  3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.

    Hi Ashley Clavette,
    The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
    When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what  exactly happens ?  Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

  • Lightroom says that I have the latest version, but Lightroom does not recognize RAW captures from my new Panasonic DMC-GH4. When will an update for this camera be available?

    Lightroom says that I have the latest version, but Lightroom does not recognize RAW captures from my new Panasonic DMC-GH4. When will an update for this camera be available?

    The GH4 must be very new as it’s not listed in Adobe’s supported cameras, so wait until the next version of LR.  Usually there is one every 3-4 months with a release-candidate available at Adobe Labs before that:  http://labs.adobe.com/

  • What is the best compressor setting to use ... when exporting a 720p timeline from FCP for a project that will only be played back in a standard def monitor?

    What is the best compressor setting to use for DVD StudioPro ... when exporting a 720p 30 timeline from FCP for a project that will only be viewed in a standard def monitor?

    Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
    Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
    So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
    If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
    All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
    Is there an easier way?

  • Export settings for sequence from FCP to Avid PC

    Hi,
    Please can someone give me the best export settings/codecs to use if I need to export a FCP sequence with clips shot on XDCam EX1, 1920x1080i, 35 mbs at the least quality loss possible so that it can be imported into an Avid on PC for titling, effects and other bits added? My on-line editor is on Avid PC.
    Many thanks
    Belinda

    Hee....missed that final sentence somehow.
    So...offlining imported footage on FCP that you will online in Avid? What is there to online? You imported at full resolution. Must be color correction.
    OK then...you edit in FCP from imported XDCAM EX footage...and you intend to go to Avid for the final color correct and titling. Did you plan for this? Test this? because I am pretty sure that the QT files that were created when you imported with the transfer tool won't work on a PC. Unless you tested and they did. But it appears that they don't as you are asking how to get them there.
    Did you not ask this question when you started this show? That is ALWAYS something you do. If you plan on doing a certain workflow, you have to make sure that the workflow in question will work. Offline and online from tape is fairly simple, as you can recapture from the tape...timecode being the big thing there. But this is IMPORTED footage. Full clips, and I don't see how you can import only what is used in a sequence.
    This issue, coupled with FCP to Avid...and Avid on a PC no less. Well. Find a codec you can export from FCP that the Avid can read (this will require testing), then MEDIA MANAGE the footage to that codec. Hmm....but then how will the Avid read the FCP project file to reconnect to the footage?
    Nope...I stand by my original answer. Output to XDCAM disk and recapture, or to HDCAM or HDCAM SR tape and recapture.

  • How do you export a RAW file from Lightroom?

    I am trying to export my RAW files to my desktop (on a mac) so that I can send the files via email. Is this possible?

    You can't save it as the original RAW file, (e.g. .CR2 or .NEF) but you can export as a DNG file. Go to File settings > Image Format > DNG.
    P.S. You should be able to send an NEF or CR2 file by email as long as it doesn't exceed the file size limit

  • How can I export 1920x1080 Mp4 directly from FCP

    How can I export 1920x1080 Mp4 directly from FCP

    Thanks Russ.
    I wasn't thinking about the Apple Devices so much as the Master File set to Audio & Video which produces a .mov file.
    I have normally used the Master File to export my videos but will experiment in future with "Computer".
    I've taken a closer look with VideoSpec and notice that the data rate of the .mov file is about 70% of the .mp4 and the file size is correspondingly smaller.
    The export/render time of the .mov is also somewhat quicker.

  • Exporting 1-frame stills from fcp

    Here's my problem: I've captured lots of 1-frame stills from clips, stored in the Browser. Using 24PA Anamorphic Setup, wanting my final DVD to play 16:9 on a widescreen LCD. I then create a new Anamorphic Sequence and drag all stills to the timeline. Then, I export all the stills as jpg's, using QT Conversion to jpg. This works fine. But when I look at the resulting stills in Photoshop, they are squashed. Now, I can convert them to QT files and then get a nice correction by exporting the stills back out of QT, using Show Movie Properties>Visual Settings>Unchecking "Preserve Aspect Ratio">Changing Dimensions to 853 x 480. But then I've got a QT file which doesn't open in Photoshop. Yikes! By the way, in fcp, it doesn't seem to matter what format I set for the export--png,jpg,photoshop, etc. The stills always look squashed, compared to the video that they came from. Thanks for your help.

    Drew13 or anyone! Oops! I just discovered another problem. I changed the pixel aspect ratio of all the 1-frame stills that I had exported from my 16:9 fcp project, and while there in Photoshop they look correct. But if I open these pictures in Preview, they still look squeezed. Then, if I open them again in Photoshop, I get this notice, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum quality." When the picture opens, it looks correct at 16x9 again. Apparently, changing the pixel aspect ratio in Photoshop does not "really" change the photo. My goal is to use the exported stills in a DVD slideshow,and have them look correct at 16x9 dimensions, but now I'm stuck with all squeezed photo-stills. Hmm.

  • Exporting .CR2 raw file from Lightroom 4 to CS6

    For an unknowed reason, my raw files do not export from Lightroom v4.3 to CS6.  When I want to make some retouching with a .CR2 file in Lightroom v4.3 in CS6 when I hit command-E it opens CS6 but the file does not import in CS6. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    tche.

    As a first measure, go to >Edit >Preferences >General tab and click on <Reset all Warning Dialogs>.
    Then try again with Cmd + E, and report if you get any message and what the message says.
    BTW: Did you really mean CS6?
    Because this behavior could be expected if you have CS5 or earlier.

  • When trying to export a RAW image from Aperture to a jpeg, the jpeg file is completely black.

    I am trying to share some photos that I have taken.   I shot them in RAW and store them in Aperture that way.   I then tried to export the version to my desktop to be able to send to someone.   The export process went through just fine, but the jpeg file is just a black image.   I have tried this with several different images with the same result.  
    I have done this a million times in the past with no problems.   I don't know what is different now.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    As a work-around: are the jpegs ok, if you simply drag the images that you want to export from Aperture's browser to your Desktop?
    What is your Aperture version?
    And which export preset are you using? Check, if your "Export preset", for example "JPEG original size"  has been changed. Have you perhaps added a watermark, that could be occluding the image?

  • Export frame by frame from FCP/QT film, to print. How?

    Hi,
    I´ve FCP/QT exported films and need to export them as frame by frame files at the highest quality possible (.jpeg or even better .tiff?) to chose some frames and use them as stills to print on offset with 300 ppi resolution, etc.
    As an example, I usualy do this with Acrobat, from a pdf and export an entire pdf into separate jpgs.
    Now I need to to the same but from a FCP/QT film.
    Is it possible? How? With FCP? Or another software?
    Thanks very much.

    To clarify what Jerry said. Video has just pixels - not DPI. Think about it for a second. A DV image displayed on a 13" CRT screen has exactly the same number of pixels as the image displayed on your 50" HDTV. How can DPI have any meaning?
    So, it you are exporting still images from a 4:3 DV sequence, you are dealing with 720x480 non square pixels (which equals 640x480 square pixels) . When you go into the print world, an image based on those square pixel dimensions would translate into an image ~2.13 inches x 1.6 inches at 300 dpi.

  • Exporting Surround AC-3 from FCP with Compressor

    I have a sequence in Final Cut with Video and the 6 audio tracks of a 5.1 surround configuration from the audio editor. I would like to be able to export the video as MPEG-2 and Audio as AC3 in one step using compressor.
    I understand how to assign these tracks to seperate outputs of the FCP mixer, export audio as individual AIFFs and then send them to Compressor or APACK manually,but....
    I'm wondering is there a way in which Compressor can recognize these discrete outputs and encode them directly to AC3 without having to "export audio as Aiff" first?
    Brian
      Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I checked the FCStudio Workflows pdf, and it does not describe a method for exporting surround directly to compressor from a multichannel FCP sequence. I think this may be a limitation of the audio format, either aiff, or the quicktime movies, in that they only support 2-channel audio. FCP will give you separate outputs for monitoring and output, but the quicktime files that compressor uses as its source are probably limited to 2 channels, hence the need to output the 3 pairs as individual files.

  • Can't export to quicktime v10 from FCP 5

    I have recently loaded FCP 5 (Not Studio) onto a G5 iMac.
    When I try and export to quicktime it only exports the first
    18 seconds or so. My FCP 5 worked fine on my iMac G-4 with Quicktime 7.6 but it doesn't export on my G-5 using Quicktime 10.
    It will export using quicktime conversion, but then I cannot get my chapter markers.
    Any and all help appreciated.
    Michael the Hunter

    Thanks for the response.
    On my G4 I am using 10.04.11 and it works just fine with my FCP 5. The G 5 that I am having trouble with FCP 5 is Snow Leopard. I figured that the Snow Leopard OS was probably the problem along with Quicktime 10. And you have confirmed that.
    Looks like I will have to purchase a newer version of FCP for the G 5 and use my FCP 5 on my old G 4. Thank you apple.
    Thanks for your input.

  • Export FLV or SWF from FCP Studio 2?

    I had FCP 5 and was able to export using > Quicktime Conversion> Macromedia FLV or Macromedia SWF.
    For some reason, I can't do it anymore, since the options have disappeared. Any ideas on where I can find the plug-ins needed or updates?

    I bought OnFlix Exporter to do this. Flash is proprietary to Macromedia, so I'm pretty sure you need to pay to add this capability to Final Cut Pro.
    A very cheap program that will make Flash movies for you, without tying up your Final Cut system to do converstions, is Mediahub.
