FCE to FCPX regarding video compatibility

I used Final Cut Express to import several videos. Can I use Final Cut Pro X to edit those videos? Or are there known problems doing this?
Thx,

The video in the FCE capture scratch should work with FCP.

  • FCPX Stuttering video in viewer problem

    OK, first let me say I am using the FCPX Trial version on my 15", 2.53 MBP - 10.6.8.  My video is on a Lacie 500GB connected via Firewire 800.  I am not sure if the Trial Version is the full blown version, I think it is.  There is nothing I cannot do so far on it.  But, I am trying to edit footage I imported from my Rebel T3i which is 1080i HD video.  I cutting to music and when I play the timeline, the video in the viewer is very choppy.  It skips, stutters, eventually catches up and gets choppy again.  Everything has been rendered in the bkgd, I have rebooted and started over several times.  My exported vid looks great, just playing down in the timeline is very difficult and makes editing to music very hard.
    I am wondering if this is an issue with FCPX or do I need to make preference adjustments?  Could it just be due to a Trial Version?  It seems like the video is too big, could my MBP be too slow? 

    The reason all thumbnails turned red when you switched to proxy media is simply because you didn't create any proxy media. From your other posts it looks you are using the original media in h264. Although it should work, as Tom said, I expect that either proxy media or optimized media would be much easier on your processor, resulting in smoother playback and overall smoother operation, especially in a machine that is not very fast.
    Note that you can (re)create proxy or optimized media not only when you add clips to an event, but also at a  later time. Simply select the clips in your Event Browser, control-click and select "Transcode media..." and check the box(es) for proxy and/or optimized media.
    Whether FCP X attempts to playback optimized/original or proxy media is set up in the preferences, under "playback".
    Since you are experiencing playback difficulties, that is at least worth a try: create proxy media, switch playback to it. If it works better, there you have it. Remember to switch back to original/optimized before final export.

  • In FCE why is the video and audio separating

    all of a sudden why is the audio and video splitting when I drop the clip in the time line in FCE HD

    Hi
    Yes it does to me too.
    So I add video/audio cilps to the very end of TimeLine (right hand)
    then move it into place.
    Crude - Yes - But still it works

  • Help regarding :Video Segmentation & Summerization

    hello friends,
    I am doing my project on above topic and I am trying it with Java.
    Is it possible doing it in Java.
    What Techniques I'm using are:
    1.Java(JMF)
    2.Oracle 9i(Inter-Media)
    3.Matlab
    This project concludes of four parts
    1.Segmentation (Video to Image conversion)
    2.Comparison (Copare frame using algo.)
    3.Extraction (remove duplicate frames based on algo)
    4 Summarization (Collect frames and form a new content based video)
    Is It possible in Java? How?
    Seeking for help regarding this .
    Thank you.

    This project concludes of four parts
    1.Segmentation (Video to Image conversion)
    2.Comparison (Copare frame using algo.)
    3.Extraction (remove duplicate frames based on algo)
    4 Summarization (Collect frames and form a new content based video)So, compressing that into a simple question instead of a convoluted one... you just want to remove duplicate frames from a video and save it to file?

  • Mac/PC Video Compatability

         I find myself doing alot of power point projects for both school and work, but I always run into the same problem. I know that Macs and PCs are generally not compatable. When embedding a video into a powerpoint from a Mac it works great on a Mac. When I embed a video into a powerpoint from a PC it works on a PC just fine as well. But the problem that I run in to is when I have to show the same powerpowerpoint on both Macs and PCs because the videos do not work. I also send my powerpoints to people who I am unsure if they have either a Mac or a PC. I was wondering if there is a format, that requires no additional software or plugins for the sender or receiver or the video/powerpoint, that I can save my videos to that will enable them to be compatable on both a Mac and a PC. I am aware that I can change the format so that it works on just a Mac, or just a PC, but is there a format that works for both so that I do not have to duplicate my work for a specific computer type?

    Colin has pointed you in the correct direction.
    I'll bet you're using just plain text "links" to your files. That method by-passes the browser plug-in and can cause issues (especially on Windows).
    You need solid html code that gives the browser plug-in all of the needed instructions.
    Another thing that may have happened is that your fast start files have lost their fast start abilities. This happens with any fast start file that is then edited and uses a regular "save". Save As will restore the fast start feature (even in files that do not normally have it).
    AVI is dead. Do not use it.
    Many WMP formats (codecs) are not yet ported to the Mac OS so that delivery container should also be ruled out.
    H.264 Video codec (default in most Tiger app exports) also requires the viewing machine (Mac or PC) have QuickTime version 7 installed.
    Since not all machines can install QT version 7 (requires 10.3.9 or Win 2000 or XP) maybe you should rule it out, too.
    So.
    What are we left with?
    Maybe QuickTime format using MPEG-4 Video codec and AAC audio?
    They would only require QuickTime version 6 be installed. Since version 6 has been around for over 5 years it may be your best option.
    But you're still going to get complaints from PC viewers.

  • FCE Freezes while importing video

    While importing video, FCE freezes, usually within 3-4 minutes of capture. I have to force quit. I am using Capture Now. I have no problem importing with iMovie. In fact I've been importing in to iMovie and then copying the clips into FCE to get around the freeze. I have my clips saved to a 500GB external drive and my camcorder is a Panasonic PVGS-300. I have imported into FCE many times before. This is the first time this has occurred and I haven't changed anything in my setup or added anything to the system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I'm having the same problem.
    Yesterday, I captured 45 minutes in 4 minute sections, and spent the morning editing.
    It got slower & slower & slower.
    I saved all, quit & browsed the internet for a while.
    The computer continued to whir for some time.
    I went back into FCE & it was back up to speed.
    I suspect imminent hard drive failure.
    Does anyone have an opinion on my diagnosis?

  • HT5148 how can I transfer to FCPX a video sent by e.mail ?

    How can I transfer a video received by e.mail to FCPX. Thank you !

    It depends on the exact specs of the media. Open the file in the QT player and report on what it says in the movie inspector.

  • Fcpx: the video properties of this clip are not recognized.

    The original footage is 300fps hi-speed video, shot with Casio Exilim EX-F1. Resolution 512x384, framerate 29.97
    When I imported the footage into FCPX, I marked "Transcoding: Create optimized media". So I did.
    Now I start a new project, drag the clip into the timeline and I get the message "The video properties of this clip are not recognized." andI can choose to import the clip as 640x480. But I don't want that, and why have I just transcoded into pro-res if FCPX itself cannot recognize the clip afterwards? What am I missing here?
    For the record: I also bought Compressor4 and Motion5 so if they are needed for my solution, no problem. I tried importing the clip first into Compressor4 but couln't find a way to export into a FCPX-project.
    Short note about myself: long time Premiere user, recently switched to Apple + FCPX.

    I can't show you screenshots because I don't have access to FCP at the moment. Take the first clip you want to be in the project. Open it into the timeline using the Open in Timeline function. You can now blade this clip however you like. Cut the beginning, cut the end. Slice it however you want it. The audio will be separate from the video. You can collape it into a compound clip if you want. This only happens with the first clip. Leave the timeline open. In the event event browser, find the second shot you want. Mark In and Out points. Press the E key to append it to timeline. You want to insert a a different shot in the beginning. Move the playhead in the timeline back to the beginning. Find the shot you want in the browser. Mark in and out points. Press the W key to insert the shot. You want to add transitions. Select the clips in the timeline and press Cmd-T. You want to add a timeline. Put the playhead in the timeline wherever you want. Double click the title to put it into the timeline. Add more shots into the timeline. Do you see what's happening? You are editing your program into that first clip's timeline. The dimensions of that first clip remain intact in that timeline. When you export you're exporting that clip's timeline. As I said, it's not ideal, but it's a workaround. Basically FCP only works with standard video formats.

  • Does FCPX accept video files taken on Galaxy 3S?

    Hello to all,
    Can anyone who uses both Galaxy S3 and FCPX tell me?

    Video could be imported from an iPhone before the library was copied to an external drive.
    The video that was imported before the library was moved could be read before and after the library was moved to an external drive.
    Video from the same iPhone cannot be imported into the library once the library had moved ton an external drive.
    The problem is that video can no longer be imported into the library that was moved to an external drive. Photos from the same iPhone can be imported and read.

  • First project completed with FCPX Music Video

    I just finished up my first project with FCPX
    Its a music video for one of my songs.
    I shot and edited the video myself with the help of wife and daughter. The video has since gone off to
    a video production house, to transfer to broadcast format for here in Australia (digital beta) and its on its way to TV stations for broadcast.
    I have very very little experience with video, and had only just gotten FCPX a couple of weeks before along with
    the new canon hfs 20 which i used to shoot the video. It was a whirlwind learning curve 8).
    I learned plenty about what not to do the next time I make one. 8)
    I got some really great help here on the forum and wanted to say thanks, I wouldnt have been able to do it without it.
    www.ozlandmusic.com
    is my website where you can see the video.
    I have no previous experience as I said with video editing, before FCPX and found the process reasonably intuitive.
    It was great to be able to sync the video and audio together..and the effects in FCPX were easy to use, as was keyframing which
    i didnt even know existed a couple of weeks back 8)
    I really like the product. I am happy with how the video turned out, and I am looking forward to making a better one next time.
    Again thanks for the help
    cheers
    Wiz

    Thanks everyone for the kind words.
    re first bit of video editing...8)
    well, I had used iMovie a couple of times to transfer VHS tapes to DVD and sony home studio once about 4 years ago, and I used windows movie maker once.... but I had never done any "editing" so I take your comment as a compliment.
    I literally have no more experience than that.  I guess its a testament to how easy FCPX is to use for someone new. I found the things like keyframing, very intuitive, and I have a strong audio background (logic, cubase, sonar etc) and have run a recording studio for many years. So I applied the same sort of techniques to video ediiting, eg look at other peoples work, and try and work out how they do what they do, and then try and duplicate it. There are a wealth of training videos available, and I watched a heap of those, within the first couple of weeks (you tube videos) about how to do things like keyframing, color correction, effects, transform etc.
    I certainly am not trying to portray myself as a newbie, whilst secretly having years of experience.  I honestly only just started and I hope you can take me at face value.
    Just wanted to clear that up.
    Again thanks everyone for your support and well wishes. Perhaps some day I can repay some of that to the group.
    cheers

  • Technical question regarding Video Preview options in Seq Settings

    I am trying to wrap my head around some of the unique differences between FCP7 and PrP 5.5. What is the function of the Video Preview choices in the Sequence Setting menu? It seems standardized to I Frame Only MPEG with  other options depending on what your source footage is. Why would I use this setting as opposed to 1080 (for an AJA sequence made from Prores footage) or P2 (for an Adobe seq built from the same Prores footage) or Red which gives you no options then the one I just mentioned?
    In FCP when things were rendered they were used when I would export the sequence. Is PrP 5.5 the same? If I am previewing a 1080 sequence in I Frame Only MPEG, does that mean on output the whole entire sequence and effects need rendering? What is the best work flow when using Adobe or AJA sequences in regard to this Video Preview setting? It is so different from what I am used to I want to make informed choices.

    Maximum Bit Depth is only suitable when ingesting 4:2:2 material and exporting with AJA or BM
    Oh, man... not again. This is not true, at all. Maximum Bit Depth has nothing to do with 4:2:2 AJA or BlackMagic. And Maximum Bit Depth is not just for use with 10-bit or  greater source footage. It can be used with 8-bit material--DV, H.264,  MPEG2, anything--to great benefit.
    (The following is copied and pasted since I've written it so many times...)
    What Maximum Bit Depth  (either in the Sequence Settings or in the Export Settings) does is  enable Premiere Pro to render and composite in 32-bit floating point  color. It has nothing (or at least, little) to do with the source  footage, but controls how effects and transformations that shift pixels  around are rendered. Any effect in the Effects panel that has a 32-bit  badge on it will benefit from Maximum Bit Depth--the expense is greater  memory requirements and processing time, but the payoff is a higher  degree of color fidelity and precision in the rendered image. Gaussian  Blur, for example, is a 32-bit effect that will show a great difference  between when it is rendered with MBD on versus when it is off--even if  you're rendering/exporting to an 8-bit format, like DV.
    From Karl Soule's article on this topic, The Video Road – Understanding Color Processing: 8-bit, 10-bit, 32-bit, and more:
    A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV without the max bit depth flag. We  will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 8-bit frame,  apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another 8-bit frame,  then write DV at 8-bit.
    A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DV with the max bit depth flag. We  will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame,  apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit  frame, then write DV at 8-bit. The color corrector working on the 32-bit  blurred frame will be higher quality then the previous example.
    A DV file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag. We  will import the 8-bit DV file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit frame,  apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another 32-bit  frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will be still higher quality  because the final output format supports greater precision.
    A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX without the max bit depth flag. We will clamp 10-bit DPX file to 8-bits, apply the blur to get an 8-bit  frame, apply the color corrector to the 8-bit frame to get another  8-bit frame, then write 10-bit DPX from 8-bit data.
    A DPX file with a blur and a color corrector exported to DPX with the max bit depth flag. We will import the 10-bit DPX file, apply the blur to get an 32-bit  frame, apply the color corrector to the 32-bit frame to get another  32-bit frame, then write DPX at 10-bit. This will retain full precision through the whole pipeline.
    A title with a gradient and a blur on a 8-bit monitor. This will display in 8-bit, may show banding.
    A title with a gradient and a blur on a 10-bit monitor (with hardware acceleration enabled.) This will render the blur in  32-bit, then display at 10-bit. The gradient should be smooth.
    What Maximum Bit Depth does is allow  Premiere Pro's rendering engine to have more room to run, with a higher  degree of precision. It's important to remember that rendering  internally is different than exporting--and even when you're "rendering"  previews, you're actually exporting, because you're creating composited  video files of one sort or another. That's why there is a Maximum Bit  Depth checkbox in the Sequence Settings--that affects preview files, not  exports. When you're using hardware MPE, you're always operating in  MBD--or more specifically, you're rendering in 32-bit linear color.  Generally, this is "better," though I've lamented about the negative  effects of linear color processing, e.g. annoying opacity differences on  dissolves, shaggy alpha channels, etc.
    The bottom line is  that Maximum Bit Depth allows Premiere Pro to generate better  (subjective), more technically accurate (objective) output, regardless  of the input and output format.

  • Mini-Dvi to Video compatability?

    I have a macbook intel core duo 2 i bought under a year ago.
    I was going to by a mini-dvi to video cable so i can use my television with it. On ebay there was a mini-dvi to video cable but the seller said he was selling it because it does not fit the intel macbooks?
    So, do the mini-dvi to video cables on the apple store fit my macbook? It doesnt mention them in the description, it only mentions Intel imac and powerbook.
    Please someone confirm for me if i can use this cable or not.
    Thanks,

    This is directly from the Apple store description for the Mini-dvi to video adapter.
    +The Apple Mini-DVI to Video adapter is designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4. The adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port on these computers and provides both S-video and Composite video connectors so that you can view your computer on devices such as TVs, VCRs, or overhead projectors with S-Video or RCA (Composite) connectors. Video cables sold separately.+
    You will also need a cable such as this for audio. Example of 3.5mm to RCA Y cable
