FCPX: In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?

In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?
An example: In Premiere Pro, the whole video is added to the timeline identified as used in their video library. Facilitating our work on a big project, not to repeat videos. You can do this in FCPX?

The way it works in FCP:
Working from the Timeline Index, you can see lists of all clips in the sequence and their location in the timeline.
You can also do a search (kevn) to narrow the results.

How can I have three videos playing simultaneously on one canvas in Final Cut Pro 7.0

I am doing a project for my degree show and i want to put 3 .mov files horizontally stacked next to each other at a 90degree angle (see picture) How do i do this? (this IS the right way up) when show the TV will be put on its side.
If anyone has any input for this I'd be really grateful
Sam.

Put the clips in the timeline stacked on top of each. Switch the canvas to Image+Wireframe in the view popup on the top right. Grab the corner of the image and drag to scale it. Grab the edge of the image and drag to rotate. Open the clip into the viewer and set the rotation so it's exact.

How to do import files from my dslr SD card into the timeline in Final Cut Pro X without losing HD quality?

The video clips appear to be rendering in high quality while in the import bar, but once i drag the clips into the timeline, the quality drops significantly. I have already exported the project, but the final product still shows that the quality is horrible even playing in quicktime.

Need much more information. I don't know what your DSLR is. Start with that. Please give exact specs of the media and of the project properties.

HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

How do I get the files from final cut pro trial to final cut pro

I purchased Final Cut Pro after using the trial version and I don't know how to get the project I was working on into the new purchased version?

You should be able to determine which version your trial is by control-clicking it on your desktop and selecting "Get Info" from the contextual menu that appears.

PLZ HOW I CAN T USE THE COMPRESSOR AFTER FINAL CUT PRO X WHY???????

HOW I CAN EXPORT MY VIDEO FROM FINAL CUT PRO X TO COMPRESSOR TO YOUTUBE???

You don't need to use Compressor. In FCP, Share>You Tube and then choose the quality setting you want.
Alternatively you can use Compressor to give you more control over your settings. If so, choose Share and either export a master file and bring that into Compressor…or SHare>Add Destination>Compressor settings.
Good luck.

How to know if a date was modified in the infotype 0041

Hi everyone,
I have to validate if there was a modification in a date in the infotype 0041. The problem is when you change the value, I can't see in the table the way to know if it was modified.
Thanks in advance!

AEDTM (Last changed date) will change if any if any field of the Infotype changes.
If you need to check it fieldwise then you can go for RPUAUD00 report which read data from PCL4 cluster.
to get the data out of Below tables RPUAUD00 has to be configured
1. V_T585A
2.V_T585B.
3.V_T585C

How do I burn an iMovie to a CD without iDVD or Final Cut Pro?

iMovie Problems
I have iMovie for my iPad. Recently, I made a three minute or so long video, but when I attempt to copy it to iTunes, it does not show up in Home Sharing. This is really frustrating me because everyone is saying I need iDVD or Final Cut Pro, but I don't have a Mac, I have a Windows computer. It says, "sending project to iTunes" but nothing shows up. Both my dad and I are really getting frustrated, and this is really not what I had in mind when I wanted to "bond" with my dad on Fathers' Day. Please, anything helps.

Videos in the camera roll will be imported using whatever program windows uses to import photos from a camera.
It should be wherever windows puts photos /videos imported from cameras.
It won't be in iTunes.

How do I enable magnetic timeline in Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8?

I can't find out anywhere? It is profoundly annoying!
Please help.

Russ H. is right. But, are you referring to the "snapping" feature? (It shows a "magnetic" bar with a line through it)
This feature allows your skimmer to be attracted to the nearest transition point. This helps to offset any "flash" frames or inaccurate edit points.
To toggle the snapping feature "on / off" just hit the "N" key or toggle the icon in the lower lefthand corner of the main viewer: (imagined as a polarized "magnetic" bar with a line through it.)

How do I recover a lost Final Cut Pro X file?

Help! I was just working on a huge project Final Cut Pro when the computer completely froze, no spinning ball of death or anything. I'd already had one crash earlier, but that was just the typical "(Not Responding)" you might get when working on an entry level computer. On complete freeze crash, I couldn't get the computer to show any signs of response, so I finally hard reset it. I have an external screen running, and my projects are on an external hard drive. When I opened the computer and Final Cut Pro, my event was there, but there is no project to be seen. I can't find it anywhere. I've spent somewhere around 4 hours on this at the least, and hope I don't have to start the whole thing over, since I have a deadline. Is there any way to recover it? I looked at the other discussions, but I don't know where I would find the project file on my computer. I'm running Final Cut Pro X 10.2.2.

Never mind, I just figured it out. The open library from backup was greyed out a minute ago, now it worked though, and I have my project back. Whew! Just go to file/open library/from backup. You just have to have the library you want the backup of to be selected.

Final cut pro x corruption after combining events

Hi,
I installed the trial of Final Cut Pro X 2 days ago to determine if it will work properly for me. It seems that I am getting sporadic corruption when merging events, which may turn out to be a show stopper.
I am doing small merges - 2-3 events with 2-3 short clips. In general it has been fine, except yesterday I got 2 clips correped during a merge, a crash of the app which corrupted a day, and just today 5 clips from a single merge got corrupted.
Note I using the FCPX event libray and dragging/dropping to move clips around.
Any ideas of why this may be happening and whether this is a known issue?
iMac 2.8 dual core, 4G, plenty if disk (260G free)
all of the latest OS patches as well as the latest FCPX.
Nothing else significant has been running concurrently.
If there are any missing details, please do let me know.
Thanks,
Gary

Hey Andy,
Thanks for the response. To start I am a complete newbie to FCPX and have had very limited exp in iMovie. The importing was terribly slow for iMovie and I never got around to actually editing. I have a pretty lenghty response below so as to provide details.
Workflow:
1) I had done an import of files from an archives as well as my iMovie directory (as I had some clips which were missed from my orginal import into iMovie). For iMovie, I had really just been building an collection of videos which were very disorganized. I had lots of events which were date1_1, date1_2, date1_3, date_2, date_3... So checking out FCPX, I figured I would group clips mostly by an event of MONTH YR, except where there was an actual event such as a birthday.
This really cleaned up my events. As a next step, I plan to further review and break out additional events.
2) workflow going forward (current plan anyhow) - please do let me know if you have a different recommendation
now - import new footage -> either put it into the generic MONTH YR event, or put into a new appropriately labeled grouping -> some time in the future actually do something with all of this video I have taken.
On a side note, it appears that I did not have corruption, but clips that had to be re-linked. I just did a re-import from iMovie or the camera archive and that seemed to do the trick. I understand, in the future I just need to re-link
Codec:
I have the optimized video selected, however, it was just taking too long on my computer so I had stopped the transcode on several occasions..
Location:
all on my primary drive - 4T 7200
Memory:
The cpu seems to be the bottleneck - uses 150% of my dual-core. The memory seemed to be okay, but I have ordered a 4G ram chip to replace one of my 2G to bring me to 6G.
I did have a crash during an import at some point and not sure about the impact on any files, so I have DELETED MY FCPX Events and am performing a new re-import. I will not lose anything significant as I had only been reorganzing the video. I do clearly have a I have updated the prefs to only optimize. The other options I will do adhoc.
After an import from iMovie, I will be importing from my 3 camera archives since not everything is in iMovie...so this will mean dupes. I know that FCPX will prevent dupes from a particular source, but now we are talking about 3 sources which will have duplicates. Any recommendations here?
Thanks,
Gary

How do i import imovie project into final cut pro

I movie 08 is seriously lacking titles and transitions, so I want to spruce up my project in final cut pro, but I do not know how to get the project into final cut pro
thanks for your help

YES!
Apple seems to be talking down to users with much of the workflow and nomenclature in the iLife Apps - it's almost insulting.
But I'm as old as the hills too - grumping has become one of my favorite pass times.
And while I'm at it:
I still can't figure out why there is a "GO" item in the menu of OSX. WTH is THAT ? And why can't users change it's contents? Very PC. It would be more tolerable if we could use it like the OLD Apple Menu back in OS9. The Dock is cute GUI eye candy but I'd like the option of "docking" items in a menu too.
I'll shut up now before I get in trouble...
