Exporting text from fcp

I have a lot of separate text boxes in my sequence. Since I can' t do a spell check in fcp, I was wondering if i can export all the text boxes out as a plain text document to do a spell check.
I tried exporting as a xml document, but navigating through all the tags was quite a problem.
TIA for any suggestions.

Usual workflow is following.
1. Put all Text-generator clips to one track
2. Export sequence to XML
3. Launch TitleExchange, point to exported XML and say where to put converted file.
Exporting to STL you'll get text file like that
+00:01:27:26 ,00:01:29:26 ,They had this idea that+
+00:01:29:30 ,00:01:30:31 ,behind scary+
... which you can open in any spell-checker.
We use TitleExchange to bring subtitles from FCP to DVD Studio and back (in case we need subtitled DVD and Betacam output)
Though, this may be much expensive way of checking spelling (135 Euro per TE licence).
There are lots of subtitle software, I only wanted to mention a way of exporting text from FCP with help of subtitle processors.

  • Exporting Text from multiple text boxes?

    I'm using InDesign CS3 on the Macintosh. I need to export text from multiple text boxes/stories into one text file. The Export File command only exports text when the text tool is selected and the cursor is in the text box. Unfortunately, I have 8-20 individual text boxes per page, none are linked, and my document is 100+ pages, so selecting each text box individually is much too time consuming. There must be a better way - Please help!
    Thanks!
    Carolyn

    The text exporter plug-in seems to work! I did a quick test - text still will need some clean-up to make sure it's in the correct order, but MUCH better than exporting each story individually. THANKS!

  • How do i export text from a pdf?

    I don't know which adobe to purchase in order to export text from a pdf and move it to a spreadsheet.... can someone please help?

    Hi losjovenes1,
    You can use Adobe Acrobat for the purpose.
    If you need just a part of the PDF file in another format, you don’t need to convert the entire file and then extract the relevant content. You can select parts of a PDF file and save it in one of the supported formats: DOCX, DOC, XLSX, RTF, XML, HTML, or CSV.
    Use the Select tool and mark the content to save.
    Right-click on the selected content and choose Export Selection As.
    Select a format from Save As Type list and click Save.

  • Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?

    (1) Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?
    (2) If not, can I convert with the help of Compressor 4 to make it to play in WMV?

    No to both. You need third party software to create WMV. Telestream has tools for this.

  • NTSC to PAL - Export straight from FCP or use an mpeg file?

    I was reading this
    http://www.macworld.com/article/49306/2006/02/marchcreate.html
    however it does not mention what to bring into compressor.
    Should I export my ntsc sequence straight from FCP into compressor, or should I drag an ntsc mpeg file I aldeady made into compressor? Ive been trying the latter but can't do much as each step gives me the spinning beach ball for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Thanks much.

    Yes, you should export directly from FCP Using Compressor. Exporting to a heavily compressed MPEG-file, and then converting that from NTSC to PAL makes no sense. You would want your video to go through as few conversions/generations as possible.

  • Exporting quicktimes from FCP to iDVD?

    I am having trouble exporting quicktimes from FCP and bringing them into iDVD.
    How do you make Chapter Markers on an export from FCP?

    When creating chapter markers, make sure nothing is slected within your timeline (click in a blank space before hitting m). Hit m again and click chapter marker button.
    When exporting your sequence, be sure to select Markers > Chapter Markers on the export dialog popup.

  • Exporting text from existing InDesign file

    I am new to InDesign and have to create some documents.  I am working off of an existing file left by me by a co-worker who is no longer available to reach out to.  I would like to export the text from that document and have it as as Word file, Wordperfect, text, Rtf, etc. (something in which someone could edit that text.  How could I do that?

    Hi steve I thought all his text frames were linked. What you said is correct, I agree with that. If the text boxes are not linked I'm also using the script only.
    In CS4 the script is located in:
    windows>Automation>Scripts>samples>javascript>ExportAllStories.jsx

  • Export text from ID5 (Windows) to MS Word 2010

    Hi, everybody. My problem goes like this:
    I have around 1000 pages of a book in several PageMaker 7.0 files (1 chapter per file).
    I have converted the files to ID5 and now I need to export the text and the images to get one Word file for each chapter of the book.
    The objective is a major revision/modification.
    Eack chapter has a lot of pictures placed inline that flows with the text.
    What I need is to put everything in word files in a way that would make life easier for people that is going to make modifications to the text but want to see the images (in screen resolution).
    I have no problem exporting the text from ID 5 (rtf files).
    Any ideias for putting the images on the Word file without having to do, at least, screen captures with Snagit and placing manually a representation of the images, one by one, in each of the Word files?
    Best regards and thank you in advance

    Hi Maria,
    Not sure how image captions crept into this discussion, but I guessing a language confusion.
    Essentially my application works as follows:
    It gathers a list of all open documents and their stories, and all the graphics within the stories. Each graphic is checked to make sure it is linked (not embedded), and is inline (not floating) and gives a warning if there is a problem.
    Once activated, it finds all the inline graphics,
    deletes them and replaces them with the full path to the linked file, wrapped in double < and > symbols. I use this symbol pattern because it is never used in any of our material.
    The stories are then exported to rtf files, and all the documents are closed (without saving).
    The exported stories are then opened into Word and each placeholder is found using <<*>>, this gives the location for the graphic, and the path can be extracted from the content of the find. The graphic is then inserted, replacing the placeholder text, and repeated until there are no more find results. There may be an easier way to do this bit, but this work for me.
    A Word version of the InDesign styles are merged from a separate Word template file to fix other layout incompatibilities.
    The files are then saved as Word files.
    The application also performs few more functions happening in the background as well to compensate for compatibility problems between the InDesign and Word styles.
    This is all done with a combination of AppleScript and Javascript. You should be able to achieve the same with Visual Basic.
    Hope this makes it a bit clearer on what to do, and private message me if you need me to talk to your programmer on any details.
    Regards.

  • Exporting image from FCP 16.9

    i am exporting still images from FCP and they are sqooshed , they look more like 4.3 aspect ratio. i know I converted them to 16.9 on the desktop with preview, but i can't reproduce that...any ideas, I don't want to get graphic converter, it's just a few shots.

    Open them in QT Player 7 then select Window>Show Movie Properties>Video Track.
    Change Scaled Size to the correct figures, deselect Preserve Aspect Ratio and hit return.

  • Exporting direct from FCP vs. sending to Compressor?

    I've done both, but the choice ends up being a coin toss. So I'm curious if there's any accepted wisdom as to the Pros & Cons of each workflow (using the current versions of each app, and in a hypothetical All Things Being Equal scenario)?
    In other words, if you were to create the exact same "Master File" from a given FCP Project using each route (in terms of the finished file's dimensions, frame rate, etc), and you selected the exact same codec/quality options to create that file (assuming the identical options exist to be chosen), would there still potentially be any significant difference between the two files? Either in terms of file size, length of time it takes for the file to be created, or any appreciable difference in image quality (despite the theoretically identical file settings)?
    Because a difference in any one of those three categories might be enough to tip the scales towards using one workflow vs. the other, depending on the priorities  in a given situation.
    (And for the sake of this comparison, I'm leaving aside the issue of which app could still be used for other tasks while the export is in progress. Let's just assume for the sake of argument that in both cases the machine would not be being used for ANY other work during each of the exports.)
    Any theories? Real-world experiences? Or has some 3rd-party test site already attempted this kind of direct comparison (using the latest versions of FCP-X and Compressor 4.x)?
    Thanks,
    John B

    Without considering every possibility, here are a couple of general thoughts.
    Given the same Compressor preset there should be no quality difference between the output from a master fie to Compressor and sending it from the timeline  to Compressor. There are speed differences and exporting from FCP X is the fastest workflow.  Lately, I've found second fastest to be Send to Compressor. But the inferences  differences aren't great.
    Most of this depends on one's workflow preferences. The most lengthy workflow is to first export a master file and then bring that into Compressor;. Funnily enough, that is how I work because I want to have an iFrame master file that I can compress for different purposes over time.
    One user recently posted that he used Send-to-Compresssor because it gave him the opportunity to pause the processes without losing his work.
    In the past (particularly with legacy FCP) the Send-to-Comnpressor workflow was something I avoided. It was slow and unreliable.  10.0.x to 4.0.x was faster but troubled in other ways. The latest versions, however, seem to get it done efficiently.
    Final thought: if you do your own tests, check o ensure you have similar amounts of free memory. Otherwise, it's not a "fair fight"/

  • Exporting Stereo from FCP

    Hi all,
    I'm currently struggling with the output of a music video for broadcast. I am ultimately looking to create an MPEG IMX PAL quicktime.
    I am running FCP 7.0.2.
    The problem I am having is that every time I output from FCP my stereo sound (which I can see has very slightly different waveforms on each channel) is being turned into two mono channels.
    My export settings are always stereo in the quicktime dialogue box and I have also tried the sequence being set to "channel grouped" and "stereo downmix" before export with no joy. I have also made sure that "downmix" is not selected in the audio mixer.
    This is slightly frustrating as I've never had this problem before and I'm hoing it's something simple I'm overlooking.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    Thanks David, that seems to be what the problem was. I thought it might be something simple I was over looking.
    Just to check for the future, does this always have to be the case for a track to be exported as stereo from FCP and there is no way of overriding it in the export?
    I'm guessing that it is, but for my sanity I thought I'd best check.
    Thanks for your help

  • Exporting Widescreen from FCP to mp4...help!

    Help! I'm trying to export a 720x480 video from FCP, to upload onto youtube. I feel this should be easy, but no matter what codec i use, the exported video looks stretched. I want the video to stay widescreen, can have black bars at top and bottom, as long as aspect ratio is kept.
    What am i doing wrong??

    You mean 720x480 Anamorphic, yes?
    Here's what I do...
    File - Export - QT Conversion
    BROADBAND HIGH
    Then, click OPTIONS and change size to 420x270.
    That will force 'widescreen' no letterbox.
    Then, I load that to youtube directly and IT takes care of the letterboxing.
    Good luck,

  • Trouble exporting Flash from FCP, and, no MPEG-2 option?

    Hello. I'm trying to export a short 5 minute video from FCP. There doesn't seem to be an option for MPEG 2 anymore. Am I missing it?
    Second, when I export with the Flash (FLV) setting FCP "stops responding" every time. Any idea what's up with that and what I can do to resolve it?
    Thank you!
    Eric P

    I was hoping to export MPEG2 directly from FCP, but I used Compressor as you suggested. Now, here's a really silly question: After I "submit" the file, it processed (I can see it processing in the Batch Monitor), but I can't find the file anywhere on my computer!
    I thought I changed the destination to my desktop, but even searching the computer for the file name it doesn't come up. Am I overlooking something obvious??
    Thank you again,
    Eric

  • Exporting video from FCP scrunches it.

    When I export my video from FCP it gets scrunched. Imagine that you start with a square and you export it and it comes out like a vertical rectangle. It looks correct in FCPs image and wireframe box, but it is not correct according to the title safe boxes. When I play the exported video it includes black space on both sider of the video. What can I do? I set the Motion project presets to NTSC DV (720 X 480) and FCP sequence settings to NTSC DV (3:2) (720 X 480) and I don't have the Anamorphic 16:9 checked. How can I export this without scrunching or squeezing it?

    Welcome to the family.
    You can only go through your settings very carefully, one at a time. If the sequence is DV, the clips are DV, and the export is DV, the resulting file will be DV. Our experience around here is this question is 99.9% user error caused by the fact that FCP's various settings are weirdly conflicting with common sense or other parts of the process.
    Good questions to answer: Why are you exporting out of FCP and where are you viewing this exported file?

  • Exporting mpeg2 from FCP

    i have read some post on this already and it looks like i can use the Cinema Tools 2.0 to export a MPEG2 from FCP. I just can not figure out how to do this. If you can tell how or where to go to learn... Bottom line i need to make my project a MPEG2.
    Thanks

    David, I just left the below for another user... try this:
    If you want the very best settings, try 'MPEG-2 Very High Quality', 60/90/or 120 minutes when using Compressor, depending on the length of your material. That should help when you import assets in DVD Studio.
    You'll get good results using Compressor.
