FCP export to XDCAM HD (PDW-F70)

I am having an issue exporting my FCP sequence to my PDW-F70 xdcam hd deck. I am getting a failed export alarm , "record inhibit on", but record inhibit is OFF on both the disk and the deck.
I can see the disk in the finder but it comes up as read onlyy.
How do i make the disk writeable?

you might be misreading this. the top level of the discs directory is always read only as it should be, but you should check other directories, such as CLIP and GENERAL are are not
if you export your edit to the desktop as an MXF file (using the XDT software) you should then be able to drag and drop it directly to the CLIP folder

  • Unable to export to xdcam disc - pdw-f75

    Hi All,
    I have a difficulty to export directly to xdcam disc (using PDW-F75 deck) in Adobe Premiere CS6.
    The message showed "G:\Clip\C0001.mxf You don't have permission to modify
    files in this network Location. Contact the administrator per permission to
    make these changes.". However, if I export the file to the desktop locally
    and then manually copy/drag to the clip directory in the xdcam disc via
    windows explorer, it works. I don't want to waste time by having two steps
    to achieve that. The FAM driver that I have is ver 2.3 for Windows 7 Pro 64
    bit, which I believe is the latest for PDW-F75.
    For your information, I also have Mainconcept plugin installed and tried
    using the Totalcode sequence/export setting and etc but still failed.
    I noticed the permission in the windows explorer is read-only for all the drive,
    clip folder and the rest of the folders. Is it normal?

    Hi All,
    Anyone can help me out on this?
    Regards.

  • FCP export settings for import in iMovie '08

    Q: What QT/ Compressor export settings do I need to use in FCP in order to be able to import the MOV file in iLife '08?
    The reason for using iLife '08 is solely for sharing the movie to dotMac.
    (if you know alternatives bypassing iMovie '08 ... be my guest).
    Background:
    I create my footage with a Sony HDR-HC7.
    I capture the footage on my Macs (G5 and MBP) via FCP.
    I edit my sequence in FCP using the HDV sequence presets
    I output using FCP export to Quicktime. MOV file has HDV properties.
    Funny: the captured MOV file with HDV properties can be read by iMovie '08 , the edited sequence with exactly the same HDV properties can not be read by iMovie '08 .
    I tried a Compressor conversion to:
    - Apple preset iTV --> no import
    - Apple preset iPod video --> no import
    - Apple preset m2v and m4v --> both no import
    - Apple preset mp4 --> no import
    iLife help mentiones that it accepts DV, mp4 and some MOV formats.
    Q: what is the list of "some"
    Please help.

    Q: What QT/ Compressor export settings do I need to use in FCP in order to be able to import the MOV file in iLife '08?
    Don't have FCP v5/6 but with older FCP/FCE usually use AIC for crossover in MOV file container.
    iLife help mentiones that it accepts DV, mp4 and some MOV formats.
    Q: what is the list of "some"
    I have personally used DV, AIC, MJPEG, MPEG4, H.264 and i believe Photo-JPEG with which another individual indicated he was having problems. As to audio for these files, usually use DV, Linear PCM ("Big Endian" Integer), AAC, or even uncompressed. Avoid Apple Animation and Apple Video compression formats which will import/edit but will not correctly export. However, be advised that there are some caveats. E.g., a "Large or Full" slideshow export from iPhoto places the MPEG4/AAC data in an MOV file container which iMovie '08 will not import. However, if you use the MPEG Streamclip "Save As..." File menu option to save the same data in an MP4 file container. Therefore, would say that some problems here may be associated with iMovie '08 "pre-scanning" of files and possible minor bugs in proper error trapping on compression formats vs file containers.

  • FCP export of rendered seq: some 'offline media' warnings in exported file

    Hi,
    We had an issue last weekend with a file that was exported from FCP:
    - sequence was fully rendered in FCP
    - export Quicktime movie (not a QTref)
    - the exported file had an almost 1minute red 'media offline' warning in the middle of the file
    - when we checked the sequence again at that sport, all the media was still there and all was fully rendered
    - we did another export and all was fine ...
    Anyone that had has this issue ?

    Not particularly, but have you tried trashing all renders, then re-rendering?
    It's possible the sequence was seeing a render file (but not connecting to it on export), when in actuality the clip/media is in fact off-line.
    Give it a shot if you haven't and let us know.
    Might also fill us in on details about your system and media you're working with.

  • FCP export to "QuickTime Movie" distorts aspect ratio of all text, displays video correctly.

    Hi you all,
    My name is Alexander, I'm from Belgium.
    I'm working on Final Cut Pro 6.0.6, on a MacBook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, running version 10.7.2 of Mac OS X (Lion).
    I'm editing a 'making of' of a Flemish feature film. I shot this 35 minute documentary short with my own Canon HDV-camcorder (XH-A1). The Final Cut Pro-project is stored on an external hard drive (1 TB LaCie Minimus).
    I've been doing exports to "QuickTime Movie" for years now, without any problems, but since a week or two, FCP started messing up the titles over the video - and the titles only. Their aspect ratio is messed up once exported, but they look just fine in the FCP Timeline (in Viewer, I can verify that the aspect ratio of the titles is always "0"). I'm trying to export this to "HDV - 720p25".
    Here's a comparison between the two:
    As you can see: the MOV has the titles' aspect ratio all weird, the upper one partly covering the lower one. All titles and text in the docu come out like this, but the video (and audio) is exported correctly.
    Any ideas on how to solve this very annoying problem?
    Many thanks!!
    Alexander

    Hi Studio X,
    Thank you for your quick reply.
    The producers of the film want to upload this making of-documentary on YouTube. Therefore, I need to give them a high-quality-mov with the least possible Megabites. My film has a 35 minute running time.
    So I figured: Let's start with the 'smallest' high-quality FCP-export to begin with (HDV-720p25), and throw that one in Compressor, in order to end up with a 'small' but good looking H.264-MOV for YouTube.
    But for some reason, those "HDV-720p25"-exports mess up the titles. And I can't figure out why.

  • FCP Export to Dropbox gives "cannot open in QT Player Document"

    What can I do to convert my FCP Export for it to be other than Quick Time Player Document format?  I tried Streamclip QT, Streamclip mpeg 4, same message from Dropbox: cannot open files in the QT Player format".  This is an emergency.  I'd appreciate any suggestion.  Many thanks

    That's precisely what I do:  drop the .mov file into the sharing folder I created inside the Dropbox folder which is in the FAVORITES column on the left in the hard drive window.  It copied the file, but it doesn't show to the person Ii want to share it with.  And it doesn't show a Blue or Green icon to say if it synched up with the computer. Do  you have any idea of what's going on?  Many thanks.

  • Is Compressor as good as FCP export?

    If I select Best Quality 4:3 90 Minutes
    how do I tweak it further
    and/or is this akin to
    Final Cut's ability to export MPEG-2
    with 2-Pass VBR, 7.5 + Mbps, Best Motion Quality
    option that seems to have been discontinued?
    thanks

    Hey Evan,
    from my calulations, you would need to encode your 90 min. movie at an average rate of 6.3 Mbps to fit on a dvd-5 (and thats assuming you are using .ac3 for audio @ 192 [stereo]).
    but to answer your question, i would much rather use compressor than the export option in FCP, although technically it does use the compressor engine because of the control you have in compressor over FCP export.
    think of it like using iMovies for editing vs. FCP.

  • Suddenly bad FCP exports...is it the codec?

    Hi everyone. I'm on a work G5, so the specs below do not apply to the system I am on right now.
    FCP is updated to 5.1.4 on here.
    I've been making regular FCP exports everyday and as "Current Settings" and unselected "Make Movie Self-Contained". One day it just gives me bad exports to where the beginning and end are normal, but the middle is bad. It looks like it's stuck on a few frames and flashes. Is this the codec? Either way, any advice?
    Thank you!

    Hard to tell what's going on without seeing the footage.  Progressive footage will have a slightly jerkier (is that a word?) look than interlaced footage particularly in horizontal movement.  That may be what's happening. 
    Make sure that your field dominance is set to none through out your workflow.  
    Also, how are you monitoring in fcp?  If you're viewing on a video monitor via a card like the aja or blackmagic, and you're not seeing the problem, then there's probably something wrong in your export process. 
    If you have a short shot you can send me in the original format where the problem is noticeable I'll take a quck look.  My email is in my profile.

  • Exporting to XDCam

    Hey guys,
    I'm working in CS5 v5.0.3 (on my Windows 7 Dell Vostro 1520) to edit a project that must be put on a new Omneon server. It must come out in a specific format with a specific codec which I'm having trouble finding.
    My requirements are as follows:
    -Frame Size: HD 1440x1080 (16:9)
    -Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
    -Compressor: XDCAM HD 1080i60 (35Mbps)
    The file (as far as I have been told) has to be an MOV file. I am going to go try an MXF file when I get to the studio at 1pm today and will update if that works.
    My friend lent me her iMac for a few hours yesterday and I managed to export an AE Comp that I had with those settings, however I don't seem to understand why I cannot get these output settings. I got a trial version of MainConcept Codec Suite 5 Pro to see if that would solve anything (Adobe says it can handle XDCam exports here: http://www.adobe.com/products/plugins/premiere/), but I still couldn't get the option that I need. I tried checking out my own copy of AE, but I didn't have the export options there either. I thought I could export my project in Premiere, drag it into AE, and export it with the codec in AE...
    I confirmed on Wikipedia that v5.0.3 should have "Support for XD-CAM HD export" as of v5.0.2, but I can't seem to find any option for XDCam anywhere.
    Is anyone familiar with this format? Is there a converter out there that can convert to these settings and make it an MOV?
    UPDATE: I just found this preset: http://i.imgur.com/p9Ijg.jpg     but the problem is that it is still an MXF file... Is there any way to make it MOV?

    ^^ According to the Omneon website, they can also ingest MXF files natively. The MOV conversion I was looking for was a rewrapping that FCP does on its own. I'm all set. Looks like i got one-up on my teacher now haha.

  • Exporting 1080 xdcam ex

    Hi
    I set my sequence settings to 1080 xdcam ex and now when i go to export from FCP they do not have the option of xdcam ex to export from. Only 1080 HD xdcam
    I create a custom setting for compressor of 1080 xd cam ex , square, full hd, and the exporting process says it is going to take 3 hours? My clip is only 4 minutes.. ??
    I used this setting for the whole wedding and this is just the trailer what the heck how long will it take to export 2.5 hours?
    So if you would please provide any possible solutions for the problem?

    Alright Sequence Settins are: 1920 x 1080 HDTV 1080i (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
    Field Dominance: None
    29.97
    Quicktime video settings XDCAM EX 1080p30
    Rate 48 KHZ
    16-BIT
    THIS IS WHAT MY sequence is and rendered at. I am trying to EXPORT this using the current settings BUT what happens is:
    When I go to export using quicktime movie it shows it needs 3 hours to export.. because it is re-rendering everyhting??
    If i got to FINAL CUT PRO and go to Audio/Video settings my sequence Preset is: XDCAM HD 1080p30 VBR
    WHich is differerent then that of the format I had used. Remember i used XDCAM EX
    There is no option to change that setting in AUDIO VIDEO SETTINGS to XDCAM EX 1080 30
    ANY SUGGESTIONS!!????

  • FCP "Export - QuickTime Movie" gamma shift

    Above is an example of what happens when I do a direct export in Final Cut Pro, using the Export -> QuickTime Movie function.  As you can see, the image is significantly brighter and the colors are a little more washed out (this image isn't particularly colorful, but trust me, it washes them out).  I always thought the Export -> QuickTime Movie meant the image would not be compressed--that it was a straight export using the sequence settings. 
    The image you see above was shot natively in ProRes 422 (HQ) using an Arriflex Alexa.  It has never been transcoded.  The bottom image is what it looks like using Export -> QuickTime Movie.  Totally unacceptable for a piece of professional software, if you ask me. 
    I can't express how infuriating this is, to have everything looking perfect in FCP and then exporting only to have it look like garbage.  I've been able to play with gamma correction a bit and have gotten it PRETTY close to the original look, but this seems like a horrible workaround.   
    Anyone else know why this is happening?  Is there a fix for this? 
    I'm working with FCP 6.0.6 and QuickTime 10.1.

    Sure thing, Meg. 
    Here's a source clip with "approximate" gamma correction:
    "Approximate" gamma correction makes the image look flatter within Final Cut Pro than it actually is.
    Now, the very same clip and frame, but with gamma set to "Accurate" :
    Now, things are switched.  The exported image looks flatter than the source clip within FCP. 
    Here's another tidbit of info--the frame from my first post was professionally color graded and exported as a self-contained movie--so there were no filters, FCP or otherwise, being applied there.  But the difference is just night-and-day to me. 

  • FCP Export Issue - Clip is skipping

    Hey all, small, but deadly problem:
    I have a 3 minute short I'm attempting to export from FCP. The original is in 24P (from a canon xh-a1) and I'm using Quicktime Conversion to export it. The problem is that the beginning of the clip (after the short title) is skipping a few times, much like an old record player that repeats a few notes over.
    It only does it for the first 20 seconds or so, out of the 3 minutes, so I'm not sure what's going on. It plays perfectly in the time line, but 3 different exports (two .movs and a mpeg4 at different sizes) all produced the same error in the same spots. I tried moving the clip around up a track on the time line, which had the effect of changing when and how often it skipped, but again only in the same general time frame. I'm at a complete loss as to why it would have a problem in the first place, let alone this section.
    Any thoughts?
    (Btw, I'm using FCP 5.1.2 and I would use Compressor, but I'm experiencing that "cannot connect to source" error AGAIN, so I'm just going to wait a little bit to get that sorted)

    First, I'd fix compressor. Search is your friend:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1163396#1163396
    Then, export a quicktime movie (not using quicktime conversion), leave it as Current Settings..., then load that movie into compressor and apply your compression preset of choice.

  • FCP Export Using... vs. stand-alone Compressor

    Hi
    I have a 90 minute HD sequence in FCS2, which I'm now building test DVDs from. Not having used Compressor, I'm wondering which of the following workflows people recommend:
    - In Final Cut, Export Using Compressor, set up preset, and submit; or
    - In Final Cut, Export Quicktime, then in Compressor, import .mov and process
    In theory, are they doing the same thing? The "Using Compressor" export brings up a "Compressor Processing" window with frame numbers ascending pretty slowly, the progress bar is just a big barber-shop pole (it doesn't fill left to right), and there's no "expected finish time", so I don't know if it's really saving me any time. At least the Quicktime export gave me a nice progress bar and only took an hour or so.
    MacPro 2x2.66GHz, 4GB RAM, by the way.
    Sequence is ProRes HD (High) 1920 x 1080i.
    Any points of view welcome ... thanks!
    Matt

    Silal is correct - Export Using Compressor, especially with unrendered timelines, produces the best quality that Compressor has to offer when going .m2v because it forces Compressor to render directly into the MPEG-2 stream. Of course, this usually takes 3-5x as long as an encode of a reference movie.
    Before we had Color, many of us did color correction in FCP and that's really when it helped to use this process (export using Compressor, unrendered). Now that we have Color (and Color renders footage for us), this workflow is less appealing.
    Since you've got a Mac Pro, when exporting directly to Compressor, you can't use virtual clustering, so not only are you using a slower process, but you can't even make use of all your processors.
    In your case, since you're working in 1080 ProRes422 HQ, export a reference movie, crank up Frame Controls' Resize to Better, and make use of virtual clustering.

  • FCP export aspect ratio issue

    Hi everyone!
    I would like to export HD footage with FCP using quicktime conversion. My original footage is 1920 x 1080 and I would like to to convert to 640 x 272. When I export I enter the desired size and tick "preserve aspect ratio". However the footage gets distorted. Can anyone help? Thanks, Jo

    What happens if you open the clip in QT player, then go into the movie properties window (cmd-J) then under the presentation tab change the aperture display mode to "production"?
    About QuickTime Aperture Display Modes
    QuickTime 7.1 and later supports four aperture display modes that allow you to properly display video with nonsquare pixels (such as DV video) in QuickTime Player and other applications that support these modes. The four aperture display modes in QuickTime are:
    - Classic
    - Clean
    - Production
    - Encoded Pixels
    To change the aperture display mode of a QuickTime movie:
    1 Make sure a QuickTime Pro registration code is entered in the Register tab of the QuickTime pane in System Preferences.
    2 Open a QuickTime movie in QuickTime Player.
    3 Choose Window > Show Movie Properties.
    4 In the Properties window, select the main movie track (not the video or sound tracks).
    5 Click Presentation, then choose an aperture mode from the “Conform aperture to” pop-up menu.
