FCP preset and Exporting movie codec setup?

Hello all,
I am using Canon 5D mark II to take the video clips, and editing them by FCP. The original video format from 5D2 is H.264, fps 30, .mov format. At the begining, I transfer it to ProRes422 format, and then edit it in FCP.
I am not familiar with the codecs, Can anyone teach how to setup the FCP Video/Audio Setting, the Sequence Preset and Capture Preset for my 5D Mark II video?
On the other hand, when I finish editing, I don't know what kind of codec and file format is better to make the file size smaller and also has good quility for exporting, please give me some advices! thanks!

Make a new sequence. Drag one of your converted ProRes clips into the timeline before you do anything else. You should get the option to change the sequence to match the clips. Do it.
As far as exporting goes there's no way to answer that without knowing where you're trying to get to when you export.

    Chris,
    I have a Matrox MXO2 Mini, and I've experienced crashes with Final Cut Pro X, Share > Export Movie that were caused by a specific Matrox QuickTime component installed on my Mac. Your crashes may be caused by a different third-party QuickTime component, but here's what I did. You may use this as a guide to see if the same or different QuickTime component on your system could be causing the crashes.
    Here's what I did to eliminate the crashes:
    1. Go to /Library/QuickTime
    2. Find the com.matrox.vpg.AvcCodec.component file
    3. If it exists, then move it to a different folder like your Desktop
    4. Restart Final Cut Pro X
    5. Try Share > Export Movie
    6. If it still crashes, try dragging out other third-party QuickTime components that you see in /Library/QuickTime
    It took me a few tries to determine exactly which QuickTime component was causing the crashes. You may have additional components in your /Library/QuickTime folder that are causing your crashes. That means that you may need to drag more component files out from the /Library/QuickTime folder to your Desktop until the crashes stop. Once the crashes stop, you can drag component files back into the /Library/QuickTime folder until the crashes start again. This process is a bit of trial and error, but I was able to fix my own problem with a bit of persistence.
    I was experiencing crashes 100% of the time, but now that I removed the offending QuickTime component, I get 100% success rate when doing Share > Export Movie.
    Good luck!

  • How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts?

    How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts? Additionally, what does 'File' 'Finalize Project' do?

    Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
    If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
    Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
    Under the Video section click on Settings...
    Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

  • Extreme poor quality in full screen preview and exported movie

    I have spend evenings and evenings to create the content of a project.
    After dealing with error -108 and extreme poor quality in full screen preview and in exported movies (extreme stuttering) I decided to install my iMac new again.
    The error -108 disappeared, but the extreme stuttering still remained in full screen preview and in exported movies.
    If I make the preview screen in the iMovie browser as big as possible there is nothing to see of any stuttering.
    Now I am getting pretty annoyed and have no clue what to do anymore (how to solve this problem) .....
    Anyone any suggestion ?
    The orginal video was recorded with a Panasonic HD camcorder.
    I do have a mid 2011 iMac with 16GB ram and 256GB SSD and 1TB HD with a complete clean installation
    of OS X Lion and iLife. This configuration should be enough to create a proper movie :-(

    Potentially, yes. The standard Preview is 1024 pixels, longest size. Some people (like Omke) have displays 2560 pixels longest side, potentially increasing file size by over 500%.

  • FCP playback and exporting issue

    Hi, I'm having an issue in FCP where as I'm playing it, all of a sudden a picture will go really wierd - i.e. the colours will be bright blue and pink, and the picture showing will not actually be the correct image, but one from somewhere else in the timeline.
    If I just hide and re-show the subtitles that are above the image, the picture is back to normal.
    I thought it would just be a problem in FCP, but it also occurred when I exported using best quality in compressor.
    This issue only started occurring when I started making some changes to the subtitles (there are a lot in the film) - but I don't see how that could affect it.
    I also thought maybe it could be to do with the fact that I have 6 video tracks (made up of subtitles, captions, etc.)?
    If anyone knows anything about why FCP is doing this, and how to stop it, I would greatly appreciate your help.
    Thanks

    sound like corrupted render files ... try fully deleting your render cache using Tools > Render Manager, then re-render and export

  • Best Presets and Export Settings for GoPro and Iphone Footage?

    Is there a good preset that will handle Iphone 4/4s/5 video footage (720P on the 4 and 1080P on the 4S/5), and My GoPro HD Hero2? I typically record on the GoPro in 1080 30FPs, or 720P 60FPS. I generally produce videos with both types of footage.
    What about exporting the footage? I prefer max quality. I store files on PC, and typically upload to youtube ( I have no restrictions to length or size on YT)
    Using Adobe Premiere Elements 10 W7 64bit, 8GB RAM, I7, NVS4200M, etc.

  • DVCPRO JITTER IN FCP PREVIEW AND EXPORT

    Recently with FCP I get a really bad jitter. I tried the De-interlace filter and flicker but they are no use. I have an archival tape that looks fine, but if I import the tape in FCP and I begin to edit in my timeline, in an external preview moniter the video appears jittery. If I export on DVD or on tape and it still shows up jittery. It appears the horizontal lines are going in two different directions almost like a field problem. Please HELP!!!!!!
    Specs:
    OSX 10.4.10
    FCP 6.01
    Ram: 6gigs
    Panasonic DVCPRO deck AJ-d455
    Tape: FujiFilm 66L DP121 DVCPRO

    What format is the 'archival tape'?
    How did you capture it? What settings did you use?
    What are your sequence settings?

  • Quick Time Pro and exporting movie files

    With Quicktime Pro do you have to purchase Flip for Mac for people with Windows Media Players or Realtime players to be able to view it?
    I've heard of something called AV files. Does Quicktime Pro export a file in some version that can be read by other players, or do I have to purchase some software?

    People with Windows can get the free QT Player for windows and view your QT files that way. One version of Flip4mac will allow you to start with QT and output WMV files. Those would play in Windows Media Player. AVI files might or might not depending on the codec used inside the AVI container.
    There is lots of QT media on the internet, and Windows users just download and install the QT player at no cost and then can watch downloaded or streaming QT media.

  • Bad Quality in Canvas and Exported Movie

    Hi,
    I'm a new user of FCE. I want to use it for presentation of my software on the internet. I have a screencapture video in quicktime format. The resolution is 1008x744px. This quality is perfect.
    If i use this Video in a sequenz, the quality in Canvas or in the saved QuickTime Video is terrible.
    What can I do to improve the quality?
    Thanks for the help...

    If you are displaying the whole screen it will look bad and there is no way of avoiding it.
    It is caused because your screen is probably 1200 pixels (or more) wide but a DV image is only around 700 pixels wide so you are losing a tremendous amount of detail.
    To make matters worse, much of the fine detail on the screen will probably shimmer or flicker because the video is interlaced.
    You can reduce this by using the De-interlace Filter but the overall quality of the image will still be poor.
    The only way I ever achieved reasonably sharp results was to show no more than half the screen at any one time. If you do that your results will be OK.

  • Exported movie is not the movie I see in FCP

    Hi there,
    In a Project which was created by another cutter, I export a .Mov from FCP.
    The exported movie has the same edits but some of the content is displaced/shifted.
    I tried a lot of things to solve the problem.
    I checked if the imported footage was some kind of strange
    I threw away all the render files of the Project
    I opened the original captured footage and saved another .Mov
    and (re)connected it
    I used FCP-Rescue
    none of that worked out for me.
    In this Project, the cutter made a lot of speed changes to the clips.
    Could this be any hint?
    Or could it be anything with the tape?
    And:
    When I opened the project first I had to Lip sync some parts of the edit.
    But as I said everything looks fine, when I watch it in FCP.
    Any Ideas?
    Cheers,
    Shahin

    In my experience, this has only happened when media has been moved from its original location.
    Provided you're not working with a long sequence, my advice is to match back your edits and splice the in again. This will assure a mirror export of your sequence.
    Good luck,
    Mario

  • IDVD behaving strangely with HDV video from FCP X and FCP 7?

    AVCHD exported from FCP X as ProRes 422 works perfectly in iDVD producing a 16:9 DVD.
    HDV doesn't, even though QT Player plays it perfectly.
    The odd thing is that 4 years ago, using legacy FCP my exported HDV videos had no problems being recognised as 16:9 by iDVD.
    So why are FCP X produced HDV videos not recognised as 16:9?
    P.S.  I know that iDVD never recognised DV in the 16:9 format but it always worked with HDV.
    Incidentally, the old trick of opening it in QT Pro and changing the frame size to 1024 x 576 does not work!
    Even stranger, I have just opened the HDV clips in FCP 7 and exported them as a QuickTime Movie.
    iDVD plays them back in the correct aspect ratio but look at the effect  .  .  .  .  muted colours and green patterns all over.
    This never happened in the past!

    I mentioned several problems so I don't know which one you are referring to. 
    After experimenting I found some workarounds.
    To cure the squashed image I created a ProRes 422 preset in Compressor 4 with a frame size of 1920 x 1080 and exported from FCP X using Compressor Presets.
    Everything now works perfectly except the encoding seems to take  longer.
    I got rid of the moire pattern when using FCP 7 by exporting as ProRes 422 1920 x 1080.
