Exporting Video from Avid to Final Cut Pro

I saved video clips from Avid Adrenaline as .mov files and burned to disc. When I try to open disc, I have audio but no video. This may be a Quick Time issue, but I am out of time. Does anyone know an easy way for me to get the video out of Avid into my system?

additionally, you might want to export some sample color bars along with your media. I have found there is a rather drastic color shift, that took two CC filters to correct for, when following this workflow.

  • Export videos with metadata to Final Cut Pro?

    I would like to use Aperture 3 for reviewing video footage from my SLR and adding notes, ratings, etc. Has anyone come up with a way to get this metadata exported from Aperture and imported into Final Cut Pro? I can export a simple tab-delimited file from Aperture, but is there a way to get that in a form where it can become a bin in Final Cut Pro. (I think Batch List import in FCP will only work for capturing stuff from tape -- my clips already exist on the hard drive.)

    Do you want to reedit them or do you just want to work with material generated in imovie. Not sure about the first, but for the second, export a quicktime movie. IMovie works with DVstreams which can cause problems in fcp.

  • How to access videos from iPhoto in Final Cut Pro X

    Hi,
    is it possible to access all the videos stored in iPhoto directly from Final Cut Pro X, compareable to iMovie?
    Any idea?
    Thanks for any help.
    rob

    iPhoto and Aperture videos don't show up in the Photos browser in FCP X. Apple's directions (can't recall where I saw them) state to open both programs (FCP X and iPhoto) next to each other and then drag and drop the videos from iPhoto (or Aperture) to an event in FCP X.
    Not how you'd hope it worked, but it works nontheless.

  • Batch Exporting Clips from timeline in Final Cut Pro X

    So ive looked at many forums and many sources and I know this isn't the first time this question has been asked.....but I was
    wondering how I would be able to batch export clips from the timeline (about 100 or so) to use as Content for VJing (live media manipulation). Is there a simple way to acomplish this in Final Cut Pro X... I have heard remours that you can cut multiple clips in Quicktime Pro 7 but im not sure how eficiant this is, I also have heard that this is allot easier to acomplish in Final Cut Pro 7. If anybody knows a simple (and quick way) to acomplish this Im all ears!

    If you want to batch export parts of your project, I believe that you'd better served by an external utility, like QTCoffee. Export your movie to Quicktime, and then use QTCoffee to create the various bits in one, er... batch.

  • How do I export video from Iphone4 to Final Cut Express?

    I have been successful in exporting photos from the iPhone4 to iPhoto. An earlier post was told to use iPhoto for downloading/exporting video but that did not work with me. Suggestions?

    Thank you again. I was able to use Image Capture which found all of my images but not the videos that I was looking for. Now, I realize that I have left out an important piece of information in this mystery -- the videos were shot using Vericorder's 1stVideo Net. Realizing this I went to their site which was no help to me. Now I am wondering if there is an app that works like the Mac OS X "finder" but on the iPhone???

  • When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes!

    When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes about 3/4ths the way through the 12 hour process. I'm saving it to a La Cie 500 GB disc by fire wire. It's worked before but after I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence, I haven't been able to export it and it won't play straight at anything bigger than 25% size. Please if you have any advice I won't forget it. I'm trying to export as ProHD 1060i.

    I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence
    How, exactly? And what were the settings of your new HD sequence? DVCPRO HD 1080 60i?

  • Video walkthrough online for Final Cut Pro X when approaching it from a Never Been Used Before scenario?

    Hi there
    I've used iMovie a few times and been quiet successful with it, but I was thinking of getting Final Cut Pro X as I want to do some more advanced video editing now (I really dont know the terms for what I want to be able to do are, but things like be able to stack say 10 different camera angles up on top of each other and decide which part of each one I want to use).
    My problem is that I cant find many videos online (youtube etc) if I were to approach it as if I've never used it before.
    Most of them go on about how things have changed from one version to the next and whats new in this edition.
    I dont want WHATS NEW though, I want WHAT IT CAN DO.
    So some kind of walkthrough (It can be an 90 minutewalk plus through for all I care) that shows off most of the things you can do with it.
    Any suggestions of ACTUAL links?
    Thanks in advance.

    What you described isn't really multi-cam editing.
    I think FCP X is idea for what you want because you can AUDITION as many clips as you want then you simply select this or that angle and play it through in the timeline - it's a fabulous feature in FCP X.
    I strongly recommend you watch some good (PROPER) tutorials on FCP X.
    I've tried a number of FCP X Tutorials and in my experience, Ripple Trainingis clearly the best.
    There is a small fee, but it's more than worth it.
    I just read your follow-up post.

  • Moving from Linux to Final Cut Pro, Need Help Creating Same Mpeg-4 videos

    I am seeking to move into Final Cut Pro to develop these types of videos that I have previously been creating in Linux.

    Not likely.
    Easiest solution is to produce your edited material in FCP and then move the fully rendered, self-contained movie, in whatever format you are producing, to your Linux machine and use its encoder/transcoder.
    Compressor will do the job for MP3 and MP4 but you will need to purchase the DIVX codec or transport it to your Mac. You need to talk to DiVX and you need to open the manual for Compressor. Compressor is not easy to learn how to use i na day but whatever you were using on your Linux box was much more difficult to learn.

  • Premiere Elements 10 Able to Export XML For Premiere Pro, Avid, Or Final Cut Pro?

    Is there a way to XML the projects or timelines out of Premiere elements so they will open in Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro or Avid if I later switch to one of those programs?
    I wonder why you can't open a Premiere Elements project in Premiere Pro?

    Actually, within a somewhat narrow range, you CAN Open PrE Projects (PREL files) in a contemporary version of PrPro. For instance, I can Open my PrE 4.0 PREL's in PrPro 2.0. When you get several version numbers apart, it might not work. As a for instance, I cannot Open PrE 7, 8, 9 or 10 PREL's in PrPro 2.0, but PrE 9 PREL's do Open in PrPro CS 5.
    One thing to remember, however, is that PrE has some features that do not exist in PrPro. Examples will be Themes/Instant Movies, NewBlue FX Effects/Transitions, etc. If you have used any of those features, you will loose them, when you do Open the PrE PREL in PrPro. Note: PrPro Projects (PRPROJ files) will NOT Open in PrE. These same limitations also exist when Opening older Premiere, or PrPro Projects in later versions - some of the older versions had 3rd party features, that do not exist in later PrPro versions, but the program is pretty neat, in that it will tell you of, say a missing Transition, will tell you the TimeCode where that was used, and also give you the name of the missing Transition. Effects can be a bit tougher.
    I cannot comment on AVID, or FCP, but I would rather doubt that the PREL's will Open in those programs. Maybe someone with those, plus PrE, can comment.
    Now, PrPro does offer some X-program support, with features like EDL's, etc., but PrE does not support those.
    Good luck,

  • Exporting after effects files to Final cut pro

    Hello, I'm trying to export some simple AE quicktime movies for use in the 'Final cut pro' application.I'm using AE CS5.5 on Mac OSX and my colleague is using version 5.1.4 of Final cut pro on Mac OSX. My movies arent rendering very well in FCP (my colleague tells me that there is loss of quality). What format should I render my movies as in  the 'Output Module settings' box? And what 'video Codec' should I select from the 'Format options' box in the 'Output Module settings' box? I'm guessing that getting this correct is the issue...and I cant seem to get the right setting!
    Please help! Its driving me mad!
    Many thanks in advance.

    I've got a different opinion about 422. I find even 422LT it is completely adequate and satisfactory for 90% of the work I do with my partner. However, we mostly use ProRes4444 when exchanging movie files, even if we dont' need the alpha, simply because it's a good standard that we can always use whether we're coming out of Motion or After Effects or FCP.
    If your movie looks good to you coming out of AE, but your editor says it is not rendering well in FCP, he's probably got something set improperly in FCP for handling the file you've given him or you are giving him an incorrect frame size or frame rate. Your output settings should match his timeline's base codec, almost exactly. But you must consider his need for an aplha chanel, color space, frame rate, scalability and other factors.

  • MP4 video looks blurry in Final Cut pro

    So im recording screen captures from Jing Pro into final cut pro and when i view the captures NOT in fcp they look fine but when I view them in FCP and when i export them from FCP, the quality looks terrible, even when I put it at the highest possible quality (1280x1080).
    any fixes?
    please help

    Open up Compressor, add your video, in the presets type in ProRes, it should narrow it down. Choose the prores LT preset, make sure in the audio that it is enabled and set to Linear PCM 48K...
    Submit, and the resulting video should now look appropriate in FCP.
    In FCP, add your video to a clean timeline, FCP should ask if you want to change your sequence setting to match, click YES.

  • Self Contained Final Cut Pro Export Files unreadable in New Final Cut Pro 7

    Has anyone come across this? I was using Final Cut Pro 5, created a self contained file of a current project 1.9GB in size. Uploaded the new version of Final Cut Pro 7 and upgraded to Snow Leopard, and now it tells me that this is unrecognizable as a movie file. Quicktime or Final Cut Will not open this file. I'm puzzled.

    Hi VideoJunkie
    I have not come across this. However, my previous FCP 6 Self-Contained Exported ProRes 422 standard (not HQ) files which are actually 1440 x 1080 will only playback in the new QT version 10 using that aspect ratio (whatever the actual screen ratio is at 1440 x 1080, I'm not sure, but the video width is squashed together... I suppose it has something to do with showing it in square pixels versus rectangle... or do I have that turned around. I'm not sure, I have always been confused about the ProRes 1440 x 1080 format, all I know is it plays back properly in 1920 x 1080 when I transcode it for DVD or ATV, iPhone etc..). In any case, you need QT player 7 (standard or pro version) to display these files at the intended aspect ratio of 1920 x 1080. The old QT Pro player version 7 will let you change this in the properties window, but the QT 7 standard player will not let you (those options are grayed out) and the new QT X player doesn't even show these options (i.e totally unavailable).
    Also, these previous files will play just fine (for me anyway) in FCP version 7. If you having a different issue where they will not play at all, then I'm not sure how to help you, but I just wanted you to be aware that my old self-contained files from FCP 6 do work (for me anyway) in the new FCP7 under Snow Leopard.
    (ADDED) I must ask, what codec were your previous exported self-contained QT movies? Do you have this codec on the commuter your trying to play your old master self-contained exports on?

  • Export feature not working in final cut pro x

    Hello,
    I'm working on a multicam edit in final cut pro x and wanted to export it to see how it looks, but when i try to share it all of the options for sharing under the share tab are grayed out, i can't seem to export my project and can't export it using CMD+E, neither, does anyone have any idea or maybe i'm doing something wrong?
    Can someone please help?

    The project is in the timeline. That's where i'm trying to export from, but all options are grayed out in the shar tab, also i noticed that it's only with this one project, all the others are perfectly fine.
