Field issue: DVCproHD FCP project to DVDSP?

I have a FCP 6.0.6 project in DVCproHD format. I want to make an SD DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1.
First I exported via Compressor, using a DV Anamorphic setting, and made a DVD using that, but the video looked jittery, as if the fields were not set right. So I re-exported the project via Compressor, using the "DVD Best Quality" setting. I set it for the appropriate quality for my 1'45" project. I also went in and changed the Field Dominance in Compressor to "Bottom First". DVDSP made the 4.5gb disc but it still has that jitter. The project takes a LONG time to export via compresor, so I'd hate to keep experimenting with different settings. Any advice would be appreciated.
<edit> I just went back and saw I asked a very similar question back in 2008 and again in 2010. Clearly I figured it out once or twice already, but since I only do this project once a year I guess I don't retain the procedure, plus I wish I had posted the answer once I got it. I will definitely do that this time if I get it.

OK I got it. The trick was to go into Compressor's FRAME CONTROLS panel and change the output fields to "Bottom first." That was the missing ingredient apparently. The Field Dominance tab didn't do the trick by itself.

FCP Project import creates duplicates of existing assets

I posed another question similar to this in Sept but had to go into the field for a couple month.
I have set up my Media device as an edit in place device (device type is Filesystem). Mac URI file://localhost/Volumes/MyDisk/PRODUCTION MEDIA/Media/
I put directories and subdirectories in this device and scanned it to add the files into FCS as assets.
I now upload a FCP Project file from another computer (FCSTST.fcp).
I set my target device as the edit-in-place device.
This project file references two files that exist on the same disk as the original .fcp file.
These files also exist in the edit in place device.
When the Project file uploads, it adds files to the edit-in-place device and adds a new asset to the catalogue for each of the files.
My understanding is that FCS should recognize that these files exist as assets within the FCS catalogue and link to those files, not add the files to the edit-in-place device and a new asset to the catalogue that is a duplicate of the original asset.
Most other people seem to have problems getting linked files into the system. I'm having problems with too many.

also found this from the manual. Not an exact answer but hints at this:
• Final Cut Pro project files include the file paths to the project’s media. Final Cut Server locates the project’s media using the file paths stored in the Final Cut Pro project file. An issue can occur if the Final Cut Pro project and its media have been moved from their original location to a device that has a scan or copy response configured to automatically upload new files to the Final Cut Server catalog. In this case, the file paths stored in the Final Cut Pro project no longer match where the media actually is located. You can correct this by opening the project in Final Cut Pro after it has been moved, reconnecting the media files (this may not be necessary; in some cases Final Cut Pro may be able to resolve the file paths on its own), and saving the project before using an automation to add the files to the Final Cut Server catalog.

Selecting a FCP Project to Export Mix To ....

HI
When Exporting a STP Mutlitrack Mix Back to FCP (File/Export/ Master Mix with Send to FCP picked) FCP Launches and a Dialog Opens with a "Destination" drop down. Am I meant to be able to see / navigate to a FCP Project File from here? Seems like a should be able to, but all I get is an option to Create New Project... not what I want.
Sure, if FCP is already open with the correct Project the Destination box shows the project and the Export proceeds. Or If I cancel the whole thing and Import the XML document into the FCP after opening the Destination Project , my mix ends up in the right place.
But what's the point of the "Destination" fileld if it doesn't allow me to set one?
What am I missing here?
Thanks
Lee
BTW : STP 3.01, FCP 7.0.3

The destination dialog is where you save the mix file and xml file to disc. You will select which FCP >project to open it in once FCP opens.
Yes ... you are right. It's the Dialog in FCP I'm talking about ... STP doesn't remember the Project it came from on the return trip unless FCP has it open already. I guess technically it's an FCP issue (?) since that Dialog doesn't appear until FCP launches.... but I think STP should know what thew project file was called... and the Project Destination field be able to navigate to it.
Workflow that's all. There's workarounds, but I wanted to ensure I wasn't missing anything.

Recording standard dvd from completed FCP project thru DVD STUDIO PRO...

OH, kind geniuses...
it boils down to this...I'm very FCP friendly...production is done...I'm aware of "compressor" issue...one question tho
...is it easier to compress thru Quicktime movie or the
standard compressor functions when project is completed...
BOTTOM LINE...is it possible to crank out a standard DVD copy of a completed FCP project QUICKLY/ EASILY...thru
DVD STUDIO PRO? i've went thru the manuals for ALL, and am
affraid I'm reading T.M.I. into it... THE question..."is there a simple Wham-Bam-Thank You-Maam way to get a simple
DVD copy from a completed FCP project THRU, (the dreaded)
DVD STUDIO PRO??? I don't need to re-learn digital electronic theory...just crank out a gawl-dern DVD I can
present to a perspective employer that needs a FCP editor...

How do I import old FCP projects that have mysteriously changed to Linux Executable files? Is it as simple as renaming the files with the.fcp extension?

I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish. I was able to grab everything, media, etc. to my macbook pro but all of the Final Cut Pro actual movies/projects have turned into "linux executable files" that FCP X won't import.
I tried googling this issue but didn't really see any good answers. Would it be as simple as renaming the files with the .fcp extension? I can't recall if my old version (really old) of FCP saves projects as .mov or .fcp files, but I'm assuming I'm not the only person this has happened to.
Thanks for your help!

I had some FCP projects on an old G3 tower that I finally want to finish.
What version of FCP was this? The project files can probably no longer be opened in the newer version of the OS. You could try adding the .fcp suffix, but I don't think it will help for this. Projects files are .fcp.
Regardless of the version, no legacy FCP projects will import into FCPX.
Media is a different matter. These are probably QuickTime .mov files. If these are appearing as Unix ececutables, they're probably not recoverable either.

Sharing FCP projects between user accounts problem

Hello!
I'm working on a project with several other colleagues. Each of us has his own User account on the computer (dual G5 / 10.4.7) because we have different preferecnes regarding keyboard layouts, desktop colour etc. We would like to have our FCP project files accessible to each of us.
I have tried different approaches to solve this task, but haven't fully succeded yet (I tried creating the project file within the /Users/Shared foler; putting it into a dedicated /Users/FCPProjects folder and applying chmod/chown commands; creating a Editors group with NetInfo and assigning those foders to this group; I even tried to work around this using ACLs).
The problem is that when we click "Save All" command in FCP, we get three or four OK-only dialog boxes in a row saying "Access denied". The project file is in fact saved (I can see it by checking the Modified time in Finder), but FCP seems not to be aware of this and doesn't want to quit. It's an unpleasent situation because it allways makes us worry about losing our work.
Could someone please give us instructions on the correct procedures for resolving the issue.
Thank you
Best regards
Mato Ilijic

matoid,
ACLs should work for you, and it seems that they are. You shouldn't have to deal with the error dialogue either, so let's see if we can't get rid of it.
First, let's talk about groups. I have looked at your "step by step," and I notice that you didn't bother to change the group ownership of the "shared" folder that you created. Fine, ACLs still work, but the group ownership of "wheel" might be the cause of your error messages. ACLs are a more advanced system of access controls than the older POSIX system, but POSIX still exists, and might affect your work.
Let's assume that you have your standard users that will be using FCP placed properly into a common group. For this discussion, I'll call that group "fcpusers." Under the POSIX paradigm, any "shared" folder can be owned by any one of the users in this group, but it must have a group ownership of "fcpusers" in order to work properly for everyone. When it does, every new file or folder created in it will "inherit" that group ownership.
Now, every user on a given machine will have read access to that shared folder. If a non-member of group "fcpusers" attempts to save a file there, however, an error message is likely to appear. One other possibility is that the file is saved, but with an "unknown" group ownership. This is because of a conflict between the groups the saving user is a member of and the attempted "inheritance" from the enclosing folder.
I want you to try the following. Please do this exactly as I outline it:
1) Create a new group in Netinfo Manager. Duplicate the "admin" group. Change the name of the duplicate to "fcpusers," then delete the "realname," "generateduid," and "smb_sid" properties. Change the GID to "101." Select the "users" property, then choose Directory>Insert Value. Type the short name of one of your users. Repeat this procedure for every user of FCP. Select any admin users in this group who will not be using FCP, and click the "Delete" icon. Finally, choose Domain>Save Changes.
2) Create a new folder in /Users/Shared. For this discussion we will assume that you will call it "FCP_Data." Further, we will assume that one of your FCP users is named "usera" (your terminology ;-)). Open Terminal. Since you seem to be well-versed in the use of Terminal, I will simply post the commands needed:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">sudo chown usera:fcpusers /Users/Shared/FCP_Data
sudo chmod g+w /Users/Shared/FCP_Data</pre>
3) Before anyone begins saving files in this directory, make sure that their umask is changed using TinkerTool. Also, I recommend that all media gets saved here, too. I'm not sure how close FCP is to iMovie, if it doesn't save all data in a "package," but it is likely that media is being referenced using "placeholders." If this is the case, and media for a given project is scattered all over the file system, there could indeed be ownership issues. If media needs to be on externals, this same "shared" folder can be created there. Just make sure that #1, the volume has "ownership and permissions" in effect, and #2 all media is kept within the "shared" directory structure.
You must use TinkerTool to change the umask such that members of the group have read/write permission. TinkerTool doesn't specifically say this, but the corresponding umask is "002" (the OS X default is "022"). BTW, umask is subtracted from the "full permissions" value of "666" when saving non-executable files ("777" for folders and executables).
Once you have a properly configured "shared" folder and a proper umask in place, your users can begin to populate the shared directory. If any existing projects are to be added, they must be copied by a user into the shared directory, not simply moved. Only when a copy is made will the new copy inherit the proper group ownership. Just to be sure, I will include one more set of commands to use, once the shared directory has been populated:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">sudo chown -R usera:fcpusers /Users/Shared/FCP_Data
sudo chmod -R g+w /Users/Shared/FCP_Data</pre>
Please follow these instructions carefully, then report the results. This should work, and without using ACLs.

Need help in exporting my FCP project to work on my laptop

I'm taking a long trip and I'd like to export all that's needed to work on my FCP project from my PowerMac G5 to my Powerbook Pro. I could really use some advice on this.
1. It's most likely that all of my files will not fit on the Powerbook hard drive (half is devoted to Windows). I know there are issues with importing footage to a firewire drive, but what if my footage is already imported? Can I get a tiny firewire external drive and move all my video files to work with? Or will I still be at a risk of dropped frames or other problems? Can I even get a USB drive for this? WD makes a great tiny one. I've got a huge Maxtor firewire drive, but I need one that is portable and doesn't need external power. Any recommendations? Is this just a stupid question and there's no way this is possible?
2. Will I run into a problem of installing my Final Cut Studio on my Powerbook Pro since it's already installed on my PowerMac? I guess if I absolutely had to, I could uninstall FCP from my Powermac, then install it on my Powerbook, then uninstall it from my powerbook when i'm done with my trip, then reinstall it on my PowerMac. But it'd be much simpler if I could just install it on my Powerbook and leave the already installed version on my PowerMac alone.
I'd love some advice with this. Thanks!

I'm taking a long trip and I'd like to export all

First, do you mean Macbook Pro? Also what version of FCP are you running? If you have a Macbook Pro then you must have FCP 5.1 in order for it to run on your notebook.

You are correct in assuming that you need not put your media files on your system drive. Get a small Firewire drive that is bus powered, I recommend on from G-Technologies, maker of the G-Raid.
2. Will I run into a problem of installing my Final
Cut Studio on my Powerbook Pro since it's already
installed on my PowerMac? I guess if I absolutely had
to, I could uninstall FCP from my Powermac, then

it on my PowerMac. But it'd be much simpler if I
could just install it on my Powerbook and leave the
already installed version on my PowerMac alone.
This depends on what version you are using. I believe that you can have 5.1 installed on both a desktop and notebook with one license. However, be sure to check the license that came with your software just to be sure. If you do not have 5.1 (and you don't have a MBP but instead a Powerbook (not Pro) then you will have to uninstall and reinstall.
Once you have these issues worked out it is a matter of transferring your project files to your new FW drive.

PLZ HELP.. How can i make dvd from FCP project..

Can someone plz help..
I have FCPPRHD and DVD Pro..
I got lost trying to make a dvd out of fcp project
Can someone plz help in easy 123.. steps how to make a dvd for my client to view..
Thnx ever so much
awaitng ur reply

I don't want to sound too harsh, but you really need to read the manual and do the tutorials.
You shoot, capture and edit in FCP. You export that to MPEG2 using compressor and you import the resulting video and audio files into DVDSP. You add a menu and set up buttons to get to the footage, and you set up navigation so that your client can get back to the menu at any time. You build and format that (i.e. burn the disc).
That's the process, but it is very much more detailed than any of us could write here.... it's all in the manual and tutorials

Multiple FCP projects presets saving in original settings

I have multiple FCP projects running on seperate hard disks. Each disk is 2TB for video content. For example Project X is on 1st disk & Project Y is on 2nd disk.
Issue I'm having is when setting the capture presets, etc for X, they are on disk 1. However when I go to disk 2 to work on Y, the presets are now set to disk 1! I can't have the presets for Y landing in X cause when I store X on a back up drive, the Y project spends forever trying to find all the "off line" info.
I need all the presets for each project to stay with that project and drive. So no matter when I open a project, no matter what drive it's on, all the info stays with that project and not another project. I've had this problem for years and it's a pain in the *** trying to keep my projects seperated since more & more are running at the same time.
I actually have (3) 2TB drives for individual projects and a 500GB Main drive for my applications.
Is there a way to have mutiple FCP projects on seperate drives, without having to constantly keep changing the presets so one project doesn't overlap to the another project.

My experience is that you have to change your presets and where your scrach drive is going. So when working on project X save to drive 1. and on project Y save to drive 2. Then reset your presets when switching projects. I agree this is a pain but it is the only way I have found. Just keep doing what you have been doing. Let me know if you find a solution for this.

FCP Project to Adobe Flash

I've been asked to provide a completed FCP project to a web administrator who operates only in Adobe Flash. Mine is a 720p 16:9 project -- his environment is 4:3 sometimes as dial-up speeds. :--(
Should I deliver just a Quicktime file? Should I deliver my project via Compressor in H.264? Best suggestions, please. Thanks very much.

David:
For Flash Video (at least up to version 8), developers have to compress to Flash standards. Usually that's OnV2, or Sorenson Spark. I think 9 and 10 have newer compressions and even HD. I'm not sure if it's h.264 as I work in Flash 8.
Either way, it'll work best with the best master you can give. So, if you have a DVCPROHD, HDV, or whatever file you can give him it'll look best when he imports/compresses the file for Flash. You would do this through the "export quicktime" command rather than "export using quicktime conversion" command in the export menu. Make sure he resizes it upon import and not in his flash project. You can import and resize to fit your project. If you resize it using the "transform" tool in Flash it can tend to get jagged. Flash doesn't seem to "soften" video you change dimensions on with the "transform" tool, but it does if you resize while compressing.
Another option, to keep the transit size down, is to compress it to flash for him. But, that'd require Flash on your system. Not sure if you have it, but you can export it via quicktime if you do. The new file will have a .flv extension and he can simply import that to the Flash library for his project.
Hope that helps.

FCP Project Files are all "invalid format?"

I tried uploading many FCP Project Files with no success. All Project Files run fine in Final Cut Pro.
Once the upload process begins, the "Jobs in Progress" status spins for about a minute or so. At this point a red exclamation point appears, then a popup window that states:
"Unable to Analyze Project ... Invalid Format."
The project file makes it's way into FC Server as a listed asset, however when I choose to "get Info" and do a Search for the associated project files, nothing shows up. The manual mentions or recommends to use file extensions, and I have.
I read Final Cut Server is supposed to automatically recognize all FCP Project file's associated media. In fact they don't need to be packaged in a folder, etc.
Lastly I created a brand new FCP Project with a single video clip and a single audio clip after I installed the new ProApps Update. Still no luck.
Is anyone experiencing the same issue?
Thanks.
-paul.

Paul:
I experience the exact same issue, yesterday and thought that after Apple released the following update
http://www.apple.com/support/releasenotes/en/FinalCut_Studio_2.0rn/
that things may work, but they still dont.
My guess, is that there may be a version update to Final Cut 6.0.3 to maybe Final Cut 6.5 or something that will allow this direct integration with Final Cut Server. However, note, I was able to success import Final Cut Project exported as Final Cut XML files. I tried this because this was traditionally how it work when FCServer was the Artbox product. My guess is because the Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Server engineers in Apple really don't speak direct to each other, FCServer was realeased with this bug.

FCP project to DVDSP4??

I converted the FCP project to "MPEG-2" in Compressor like a lot of you recommended. The video played well, but there was no sound. Did it not convert audio? How can I include the audio? What setting do I have to use in Compressor so I can convert my FCP project (with video and audio) to a DVDSP 4 friendly format?

When encoding for a DVD, you'll need to do 2 separate encodes. Video (m2v) and Audio (ac3 or Dolby).
One of our frequent members, Drew13, has posted many links that will help you understand this process better. You can find those links here.

FCP Project Import

FCP Project Files do not import at all! My scenario is as follows:
I create a Final Cut Pro Project file (.fcp) and try to upload it into FCSVR by dragging the file into the FCSVR window while logged in as admin.
This throws an error that says, “Unable to analyse project – invalid format.”
Then I export the project as an XML file and upload it the same way and receive no error.
All of the files are uploaded beautifully as well as the .xml file; however, when I check out the .xml file, it is copied to the folder of my choice as a .fcp file! At least that is the extension that shows up. I can tell it is really still an .xml file because when I open it with FCP it converts it to a .fcp file (FCP informs me of this on execution).
After I make changes to the file and save it (using Command+s), I go back to FCSVR and try to check in the file I checked out. The file checks in just fine.
However, when I try to check the file out again, I get a different error message that says, “Final Cut Pro Download failed (Project File not found).”
I have checked the device, which is on my Xsan volume, and the file is there. Actually, so is the .xml file.
The only work around I have found is instead of just saving my changes with Command+s, I can export another .xml with the same name as the original and upload that file into FCSVR, but that will overwrite the file already there, making version tracking unavailable.
I have seen this problem in a few places and I wonder if it is around the board, or if it is just on some installs. Any ideas or fixes would be awesome.

Thanks for your reply. I apologize because I already received an answer and it worked! Here is Matt Geller's response from my post on Xsanity:
First - checking in the xml is confusing the process. Version 1.1 of FC Server expects to receive an actual .fcp binary during upload. It does the same when checking out: it delivers an .fcp binary.
I have a hunch that you are getting the invalid format error because your Final Cut Server itself is not logged in as the admin user. If this is the case, keep the machine logged in and see if you still have the issue with the original .fcp binary.
Sure enough, once I logged in as admin, it worked beautifully.

FCP project creation date

Hi all,
1 have an installation with three MDC Xserves (10.6.2) ,8 Mac Pro clients ( 10.5.8 ) with XSAN 2.2.1 and Open Directory .
The MAC pro clients have Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 installed.
When we modify a project in FCP and save it then the creation date of the file changes to the modification date. This behavior happens only in the XSAN volumes and only for the FCP projects, if we create a text file , edit it and then save it the modification date changes but the creation date is not affected .
Thanks in advance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.5.8) Xsan 2.2.1 & Final Cut Pro 6.0.6

Workaround for compressor HDV to DVD field issue?

I need a work around for the field issue apparent when down-converting HDV to DVD.
The Bonsai method <http://www3.telus.net/bonsai/Welcome.html> will not work, as there is too much motion and a side effect of the "fastest" conversion is that it gives a 3-d ghosting effect on fast motion in the frame.
I can not convert to 720P60 or 480P, as FCP converts it to 30P and then doubles the frames, and the motion is jittery.
I could dump it to camera and then down-convert in camera, but I have heard this is not a great method either.
I have seen in another forum to save the HDV timeline in FCP as a HDV quicktime movie, and then import that into DVD studio pro and have it down-convert, but DVD studio pro says this is an "incompatible file".
How do I get 1080i HDV footage onto a DVD so that it looks acceptable?

I had a similar problem with HDV (1080i shot on Cannon HV-20) footage, looks great in post and terrible when converted (herringbone lines and too many artifacts.) I’ve successfully used the Bonsai method on another piece I did but the footage was shot on a HVX-200 at 720 24p and there were no “action” shots. I wasn’t as successful using the method using 1080i footage and it definitely didn’t help with the fast motion shots. I did a search in this forum on HD to SD and there are a lot of helpful hints and methods. I experimented with a lot of the suggestions but in the end I was able to produce very nice and acceptable results by doing the following:
1] I didn’t create an SD sequence; I exported the footage as a Quicktime movie (self contained) straight from my HDV sequence.
2] I dropped the Quicktime file into Compressor and selected 90-minute DVD Anamorphic Best 2-pass VBR. Running Compressor from Final Cut ties up your system as well as there seems to be a delay between the handoff from Final Cut to Compressor (running the latest 5.x version and 2.3.) Creating a Quicktime file frees your system and it’s debatable if you actually compress faster or take a hit on quality. I’ve tested both from Final Cut and using a Quicktime file and didn't see any real difference in quality.
3] Change the field dominance from Top to Progressive in the tab where you see 2-Pass VBR Best and also in the encoding tab (not in front of my system so I can’t recall the name or order of the icons). In the encoding tab you will notice it says “same as source.” The pull down will show you Top, Bottom, Progressive, Automatic…I tried them all and in various combinations and anything other than progressive in both tabs produced undesirable results.
4] The options for Fast, Good, Better and Best in the other encoding pull down sections are a matter of preference and patience. Selecting Best in all categories takes a really long time to compress (36 hours for a 9-minute piece using a Mac Pro 3.0GHz dual-core Intel with 4GB ram.) I ran tests using different combinations and found that selecting the default settings is decent and stepping each category up to the next level helped but not enough to warrant the long compression cycle to stick with Better across the board. When you do your testing, it’s best to use as little footage as possible or you will find yourself waiting too long to see the actual results. I used a 1-second (29 frames) shot of a girl twirling around, hair flying everywhere, and girls next to her using hula-hoop’s.
5] Use the sliding bar in the viewer to see the impact of your choices before submitting the job. To the right you will see the “original” footage and to the left you can see the results of your selection. You can move the bar across the footage to see (approximately) the end results.
6] One thing I did notice is that no matter what settings I use, the output is slightly darker (reds were deeper, skin tones were warmer and not as smooth), but hey, you are going from HDV to SD so it’s not going to be perfect.
Hope that helps and good luck.
