Final Cut Export Issue

I recently cut together a video on final cut x (version 10.0). When I select the Export Video option under the share tab, absolutely nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Version 10.0 of FCPX is not compatible with Mavericks. You need to upgrade FCPX to version 10.1.1 which is the latest.

  • Final Cut export issues

    I have had intermittent problems on export which are baffling and annoying.  I typically output to the Apple TV device setting.  The export completes and when I view it, some strange things have happened.  A few scenes play as black (but with sound) and in one case, a title changed from bold to italic.  Just little glitches like that, but it means I have to go back to the timeline and correct them.  The title really has changed to italic by itself and the black scenes still appear correctly in the time line, but play black.  I have to delete the scene and drop it back in.  It then plays fine.  The original material has not disappeared or anything.  After fixing, I output the movie again and it's good, but it's a pain and I wonder if anyone else has these kind of issues.

    The only suggestion I can make is to trash your FCP X 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.

  • Can't open a video file after Final cut export

    Very strange issue which getting me nuts.
    I've FCP 7 on Lion.
    I'm finishing a project and export it as it is on an external hard drive for back up.
    I've got a .MOV file.
    After that I'm making an other folder and export all the working file from FCP.
    End of the story.
    Later I want to open the Quic time video file... and then I've got an error message telling me that QT is looking for data of the video file "xyz-FIN-0000000e"
    There is only a STOP button.
    If I press it I've got a new error message telling me :
    The file "xyz-FIN-0000000e" can't be found. Without it the video can't be play correctly"
    (I'm translating the message from my french system)
    So I can find sometimes the files is asking from the other folder (the FCP back up files) and then it open it...).
    But WHY does the video file needs reference files ?
    It was an export and I ask the exporter to make a self movie...
    Realy I don't understand what's wrong.
    Any cue ?
    Thanks !
    Jean do

    Is this a Final Cut Pro .mov file. If it is it would open with FCP. Are you sure you saved with "self contained" checked. I seem to remember someone with a problem like this.
    I think in the future you need to open your exported self contained FCP.mov files with quicktime Player and change the "open with" to quicktime player.

  • Final Cut exports only 720x486 (640x480) when needing just 720x486

    We are having issues with exporting from Final Cut or Quicktime.
    We are uploading thru digital delivery. This is what we need:
    Format: QuickTime, MPEG-4
    Codec: AVID IMX or APPLE IMX
    Bit Rate: 50 Mbs
    Aspect Ratio: 720x486 (1.481)
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Audio Channels: 2 (or more)
    We getting this error:
    "The received file was:
    Format: QuickTime, MPEG-4
    Codec: Apple IMX
    Bit Rate: 51628048
    Width: 720
    Height: 486
    Aspect Ratio: 1.347
    Frame Rate: 29.970
    Audio Channels: 2"
    The file info on quicktime is 720x486 (640x480), but previously we were able to export files from FC that were just 720x486.
    This is what we are exporting now... using exactly the same settings....
    This is a file done a few months ago:

    Is there something wrong with the way the video plays? There shouldn't be as the "(640x480)" is just telling you the square pixel equivilent of your 720x480 4:3 file.

  • Final Cut Exorting issues

    I am having an issue with Final Cut lately. When I export a Quicktime movie file using Current Timeline settings, and then I bring it back in to Final Cut onto the same timeline, it requires rendering. This occurs regardless of if the Movie is self contained, or a reference Quicktime...
    The specific problem it is causing me at the moment is this:
    We shot a concert with HVX200s to P2 in 720 P HD. This means that every 10 minutes or so, I have a new clip from the same camera. The concert is split into two approx 45 minutes sections. To make a multi clip with just one track per camera, I was editing each camera onto a timeline, making each timeline all begin at the same point. Then I would export each camera's timeline to a NON-self contained Quicktime file. Bring these back in to Final Cut, and you have each camera in one clip, ready to make a multi-clip.
    I have used this approach before (in previous point releases of Final Cut) with no problem. Now however, when I select the clips to make a multi-clip, Final Cut cheerily informs me that it cannot make these clips into a multi-clip because the frame sizes of the clips differ... ?!? I have triple checked everything and they do not differ in the Item settings view of Final Cut, nor do they differ if opened in Quicktime and compared via the Movie Properites viewer... Furthermore, when these clips are dropped on a timeline of the same settings, or even the timeline they were exported off of, some of them require rendering and some do not. It seems Final Cut believes with all it's might that these clips really do have differing frame sizes even though I can't find that they do!!!
    I am having this problem in both 5.1.2, and 5.1.3...
    If anyone has an answer to this perplexing problem it would be much appreciated.
    O, and also if anyone has a better way to handle the multi-clip issue that would be great too (why can't we edit multi-clips in a similar fashion to a sequence? So if we have a need to span several clips in one track of a multi-clip like I need to, we could!)

    You download FCS Remover and you run it on the two computers. You then run the install discs on your new MacBook Pro.

  • Warning:  Sometimes Final Cut exports a non-drop sequence as drop-frame

    Just a heads up. This has been maddening for me. On occasion I will export my program for compressor and it will be drop frame when it should be non-drop.
    These are sequences which have exported fine before. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Tonight I've lost about 2 hours because of this. At least I knew to check it before compressing the file and sending it out to our contractor because it has happened in the past.
    By the way shutting down FCP and opening it up again seems to cure the problem.

  • Final Cut Pro issues in Lab environment

    Ok so this one has me completely buggered.
    I manage about 6 Mac Pros in a small TV Studio/Editing lab at a university. The Mac Pros are managed with an Xserve running server 10.6.2, using Open Directory for account management. All network accounts use a network Home folder, so any machine can use the same account and settings. The same server also manages a 25 machine iMac lab environment.
    Each semester, we wipe the Mac Pros clean an reinstall the OS and Final Cut Studio. Last semester, the Mac Pros were upgraded to 10.6, and Studio 3 and we had no issues. This semester, a fresh installation of 10.6 was installed, as well as fresh Studio 3.
    Now this is the problem we are having. Final Cut Pro 7 will not correctly create .fcp project files when users are logged in with their network server accounts. If you save the project to the desktop, or anywhere else in the Home folder, it creates a .fcp file, seemingly normal. But after the project is closed, the .fcp will not open again. Further more, a quick file size check shows the .fcp files are zero KB. Opening with Textedit shows an empty document, not even a single bit of data shows up.
    But, Final Cut Pro 7 will create .fcp files perfectly fine on the local disk, or firewire drives. Local accounts also work fine. This problem only happens on network homes.
    This is severely hampering the workflow for students using these editing stations, as they can't use their network home folders to save any data in Final Cut.
    The strangest part, is it worked fine last semester. The same machines were running 10.6 and Studio 3, and the server has not been changed at all.
    Any clues?

    No problem Tom!
    I didn't checked before but i solved thanks to your post... for some strange reason, the French language that i don't use, appeared in my language preference pane. I just added the English, and moved/deleted the French after it and FCP became English again!

  • Final Cut Exporting to DVD Settings Help!

    Hello, all. Hopefully someone can help me with this problem that I have been struggling with for weeks.
    I shot a video project in standard definition on a Sony VX2000, then edited it in Final Cut Express. I am now wondering what the best export settings would be in order to put it onto a DVD, and maintain the quality at 100 percent. I've tried exporting it in several different ways, but no matter what I do, the quality is never as good as it was shot.
    So, what should the export settings be from Final Cut? And do you think I need to use a different software to maintain perfect quality on a DVD?
    Thanks so much

  • Final Cut Export DVCPRO HD720p uncompressed/hi-res for tape and projection

    Well I've been through the many suggestions found throughout the forum and have tried many combinations of exporting options, timeline options and codecs and still for the life of me can't find the one that works. Please offer any advice you can.
    Objective:
    Export a 30 minute film with a DVCPro HD 720p60 timeline shot in 720p 23.98fps as uncompressed and as high resolution as possible for transfer to a Beta-SP for big screen projection.
    In trying the Uncompressed 8 and 10 bit exports the film's video became jumpy and some color's over saturated to the point of pixelation (is that a word?). I've created new Uncompressed timelines and exported from there as well to the same over saturated/pixel effect.
    Is just an export of a Quicktime movie with current settings and then use compressor with "DVDPRO HD 720p60" my best options? I've tried that too but not happy with the softness of some of it and as we're projecting BIG, I want to have the best resolution possible.
    Oh - and this time - size does NOT matter.
    Thanks for any pointers.

    What I mean is - how to create then a Quicktime someone without Final Cut can play. Exporting as a self-contained Quicktime movie does not seem to creat the stand alone file I may need. Any tips?

  • Final Cut export quality

    I exported a video segment with animated text out of motion and the quality was almost perfect. When I brought that motion project into final cut and export from there, the quality of text looks terrible-jagged and blurry. The export settings of my sequence in final cut were:
    Keep current settings
    Make self-contained movie
    There is no compression in the sequence settings within final cut.
    Does anyone know how to get a better quality export out of final cut?

    Make sure your Motion project was the same setting as your sequence in FCP.. all DV or HDV or whatever...
    Might post what format you're working in...

  • Final Cut Export XML: Command-line option

    Is there a way to use a command-line function to automatically export the XML for a Final Cut (.fcp) file ? We need to see the clips that make up a .fcp file, and do reporting. Since we have thousands of these files, we need to automatically create the XML files without opening each file automatically.

    Hey Ani_,
    I've been working with Adobe products for a long time and typically when you come across an error that has anything to do with a XML file export problem its due to things such as effects you may have added in, color corrections, cross fades or any type of video transitions between clips. Remember your work flow should be
    Import your footage into Premiere Pro
    Name your clips (helps find things later on)
    Place clips on time line in the order you wish (ONLY MAKE CUTS don't add anything, transitions color effects nothing)
    Then once your clips are all placed on the timeline in your correct order you then EXPORT> Final Cut Pro XML
    Now you can bring this into other programs for color grading or whatever else your going to do.  You will notice you have no errors on the export.
    Once your done doing what your doing to the clips in another program (for example: Divinci Resolve color grading) you can then export them back to your main project then add your effects and transitions.

  • Final cut export high quality

    I'd like to know what are the best compressions to export a full hd file from final cut pro,
    for these cases:
    1) best quality full hd ( but not completely uncompressed or too heavy) to show the video to clients on my computer.
    2) best compromise quality/weight to put the video in my website. Do you suggest full hd or smaller?
    Thanks a lot to everyone

    I agree if you suggest h264 to have a good quality to display the video with Quicktime or Vlc. But unfortunately on other players ( pc ) these files have often many problems. For example my file 16.9 h264  that are well displayed in Quicktime in other players goes 4:3...
    I'd like to have a really good qualitu file that I can give to anyone without any suggest to play it correctly.
    Hmm
    Also, for internet I'd like to have a file that anyone can see without downloading anything.
    To see a  Quicktime h264 video people need to have quicktime.
    So I was thinking about flv files..

  • Leopord and final cut 2 issues

    I bought a family pack of Leopord and we are curious as to whether there are any issues with it and some 3'rd party software. My son owns a MacPro Tower and is finishing film school. He is using Final Cut 2 suite which comes bundled with Motion and other programs. Should he wait to load it on his. I know I had issues with my intel 20 in . I got the blue screen of death and had to take it in to load it properly and then I still had issues with login using my original password etc. Are there fixes to these now?

  • Final Cut / Flash issue

    Hi,
    I am converting a .mov file in to an .flv. I created the .mov in final cut. When I convert it in Flash , I am getting a movie that many of the moving images have static lines. It's not a smooth conversion. I know it's possible to make this conversion with a clean exact replica of a .mov file but I am not getting it. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks

    Export it as and H.264 mp4.. and just change the file extension to .FLV - Flash reads those perfectly fine.
    Or if you have Flash CS4 it gives you the option to export an FLV right out of FCP.
    You can get a trial of Flash CS4 here

  • Final Cut Express issues: Video and no audio

    Ok.. sorry about before. I posted in someone elses message, for that I'm sorry.
    My name is Justin Smith. I'm a freelance videographer out in Kansas. I have a brand new Macbook Pro. I'm shooting with a Dvx-100. I took my camera and tried to import video into Final Cut Express. When the short video clip was finished capturing, I tried putting it to the timeline, but only the video was added. So I have video, no audio and a bunch of questions. How do I get my orginal audio from the tape onto the timeline? Also, I have a question about importing audio from say Itunes. I can import the song fine, But when I lay the track down on the timeline, I'm getting a continuous beep noise. I read the FAQ and it told me I have to convert the track to AIFF? How do I do this?

    As for importing audio from iTunes, yes, you must convert it to AIFF first. iTunes can do this unless you purchased the songs from the iTunes Music Store. If you did, they are protected AAC files and won't convert. There are ways to do it but since it most likely violates the copyright, no one on this forum can legally tell you how to do it.
    If they are not protected, then go to iTunes preferences, select the Advanced icon at the top and click the Importing tab. Select AIFF encoder from the "Import Using" popup menu and make sure the settings are 48khz. Then select the song from the library and choose (from the menu bar) Advanced->Convert Selection To AIFF. A new music file in AIFF format will appear in your library.
    Another way is to use Quicktime Pro (the paid version of Quicktime). Open the music file in Quicktime, choose Export and select AIFF, 48Khz, 16bit for the format. Again, this won't work if its an iTunes protected file.
