Final cut express wont play my wmv's?

fce will not play my videos it says they are not in the proper format and all i know is that i originally put my videos on to my external hard drive via windows movie maker so i dont know what format that is.

You may want to ask your question in the FCE forum, this is the iTunes for Mac forum.

  • Final Cut Express wont make make a self contained movie

    Until recently I have always been able to export my movies from final cut express HD without any problems. They save as final cut express movie files. Now when I come to export a movie, I click on " make self contained movie" and what I get is a quicktime movie that is split into 3 parts, one named whatever I had told it to save as and the other 2 with the same name but -av1 or -av2 after it. If either of these is deleted the original wont play but they wont open on their own. There is sufficient hard drive space and they are all saved in the same folder. There appears to be a 2GB maximum file size as the first movie is 2 GB the second is 2 GB and the third is whatever is left over. Anything smaller than 4 GB just saves as a 2GB plus whatever is lreft over! They will play if original video clips are deleted so they are independent but wont play if one of the 3 is missing. Please help this is driving me scatty

    Is the drive you aresaving to formatted to Mac OS Extended?
    Sounds like it could be Mac Standard.
    Also check in Prefernces that the file size export limit is not set to 2 gig.

  • Why final cut express wont read my avi file?

    Hi all.
    I am currently expreience some problem. Few days ago, i was shooting a video project with my D3s. My D3s shoots in AVI format. yet i dont know why the final cut express and the quick time only able to play and edit the avi file with sound? and wont be able to edit or play the video without the sound. [my d3s have an option which can let me recored the video without sound]

    Hi
    There is a bit of confusing about this.
    • .avi - is a container - not a codec and can contain old .avi with codecs as Indeo 5 - and this needs to be converted
    to be used in any iMovie or FinalCut (as I understands it)
    • I think Flip4Mac is the program to buy and use.
    Howto find out what Codec - If Your .avi movie opens in QuickTime Player - then open Movie inspector and read it.

    From what device are you attempting to Log & Transfer footage from?
    Where are you saving your transferred footage to?

  • Final Cut express wont open after Lepard Install

    I just installed Lepard to my mac and Final cut wont open...its gone dead, I find out the my version of FC express is 3.5.1, I have been having a few different things happen within the last 72 hours of the install,My dock sometimes doesnt respond,I need some adviser on the Final Cut issue, I have work in there and I need to access it...Help,
    itsonlyme...

    Every instance is different. There is no single fix for everyone.
    Start here:
    http://www.fcpbook.com/Video10.html
    Then come back and do this:
    Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you're using in FCE, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QT are you using?

  • Final Cut express wont instal on mac book pro

    I bought a Mac book pro last night and today I attempted loading the FCE 2.0 and then using the upgrade version FCE HD4 and It told me my HD 4 version had an invalid serial number (it works fine on my imac 24 in) And so I figured I would just look at the FCE 2.0 and open it up. It wont open and it gives me a error message RGP ERROR. You do not have a graphics card or sufficient software to run this program....
    Have no clue Tried rebooting.. I will call apple in the AM. I told the guys at the store that I was using FCE 2.0 and no one said that It wouldn't work...
    Any similar issues with anyone else?
    Thanks
    TIM

    There is no need to install FCE2.
    Just install the FCE4 upgrade as it is actually a Full Retail version with one tiny difference ....... you will have to input both the old and the new serial numbers.
    Make sure you get the numbers exactly right or they won't work.
    Before reinstalling you should remove every trace of the existing installations by deleting the files listed here:-

  • Final cut Express unable to capture

    My Final Cut Express wont initialize my deck. A dialog box comes up saying so. one site suggest deleting quicktime receipts in my library folder on my mac, that quicktime needs to be reinstalled, then i should be able to get my canon HV20 video camera to communicate with FCE 4 and start capturing. has anyone heard of resolving my "unable to initialize video deck" issue this way? Any ideas how to get my HV20 and FCP to communicate to eachother?

    There is a separate forum for FCE.
    Make sure you are using the correct HDV settings in FCE and that the camera is set to output HDV and not downconvert.

  • Final Cut Express changes the video aspect

    Hello.
    I imported some videoes from m Sony-sr32 HandyCam with iMovie 08. The videos were captured in a wide screen format, and iMovie shows them in wide screen.
    However, when I import the movie files to Final Cut Express it plays them in a normal 4:3 aspect. The video seems o be distorted (narrowed).
    Why is that, and how can i Change that?
    Thanks!

    You have to check the anamorphic column in the Browser or in item properties to tell FCE the material is anamorphic.

  • Problem exporting to WMV in Final Cut Express

    I am recreating a Keynote file of mine for someone who needs to use Power Point (poor fellow). Because most video will not play in Power Point, I converted those needed into WMV using Final Cut Express. However, when they play back in the Power Point, the colors are all changed to red and green and such, nothing like the originals. Fortunately, the files will play normally saved as AVI files, but I am told that WMV play best in Power Point.

    As I was replying to a Telestream Technical Support person and trying to get a screen shot to send her, the Windows computer indicated that there was a Windows Media update. I installed the update, and now the .mov files that were converted to .wmv files in Final Cut Express run fine in both Windows Media Player and Power Point 2007 on the Windows XP computer.

  • My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1.  I have imported .mov clips created with a older mac os x (lion) and converted them to import into fce. after doing this as well as putting clips on the fce timeline when playing back t.h

    My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1.  I have imported .mov clips created on a older mac os x (lion) and when I wanted to import them into fce, a quicktime conversion window opened up and converted them (I haven't experienced this in the past). I then imported the converted quicktime clips into my fce project.  After doing this I took selected clips and put those edited clips on the fce timeline.  When playing the video back in the fce timeline,I noticed
    1) the video wasn't playing back smoothly like the original content
    2) when looking at the timecode reading of the timeline, the timecode was sputtering as well as the video and audio.  I exported to quicktime just to see if that was consistent, it was.
    When I play the converted quicktime content independently of fce,  it plays normally (no sputtering of timecode, video and audio.  Need help to resolve the sputtering playback of converted video content in the fce timeline.  I've never experienced this before.  Any suggestions?

    When you say you converted the clips before importing them into FCE, did you convert to AIC or DV and do the converted clips match your FCE Sequence settings exactly?  If not, go back and convert the original files again, using the intended Sequence settings as a guide.

  • Final Cut Express Log and Transfer files not playing audio on another mac

    I recently purchased a new Mac Pro for video editing for work, and am having some issues with it. Previously i was working on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.4.11, on Final Cut Express 4.
    I used Log & Transfer to get the AVCHD videos from my Canon HF 11 onto my mac, and had no issues. Where my problems started was when I moved my video files to my new Mac Pro running OS 10.5.6. Now when I open those video files in either Quicktime or FCE, the VIDEO plays but _not the audio_. I thought maybe the video files were bad, but when I tried the original files on the new Mac, they still didn't work. I don't know if there's some codec that isn't on the new mac or if there's some other problem... I just know that my new amazing machine cannot play the files that my 3 year old one can. I'm not new to computers, but I'm not an Apple guru. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Well I can try trashing the files, but I can't log and transfer the files again, as it's months of footage that aren't on the camera anymore. But i did find something else out. The files that were recorded with the camera's built-in mic recording is fine and with sound, but the files that I used my wireless mic setup had no sound. I don't know why that is, because they worked fine on the MacBook Pro. I tried log and transferring a new clip on the Mac Pro wit;h footage using the wireless mic, and still no sound.

    OK, supports recommendation works. He told me the App Store version has some issues with writing the pro files out (where the retail version does it correctly).
    He had me uninstall (move) the app to my desktop, download and install the trial with the trial key, then replace the file with my App Store downloaded one.
    It WORKED....for the first time I've got Aperture and Final Cut Express loaded together and working.

  • I have 8mm films transferred to .avi files at 18fps.  Can I use Final Cut Express to convert to standard DVDs to play on a US TV?

    I have 8mm films transferred to .avi files at 18fps.  Can I use Final Cut Express to convert to standard DVDs to play on a US TV?

    Hi
    I was hoping that FCE would be able to handle the coversion from 18 to 30fps but that appears not to be the case.
    It does - If I'm not totally wrong. Can be to much using FinalCut Pro (6)
    Start FCE
    Select type of project You want to do
    I guess - NTSC 29.97fps - Select that from FCE menu / Easy Set-up
    Start a new Sequence
    DROP A PHOTO in TimeLine - at beginning.
    Now project is locked to 29.97 fps
    Now import and drop the 18fps clip in TimeLine.
    Select to convert it to match the setting of TimeLine.
    IF THIS IS A GOOD WAY - I hesitate to say - It works - but if quality is OK or not - I don't know
    I DO : use JES_Deinterlacer (free from Internet) to convert the frame rate in my clips (usually 25fps) to 29.97 fps - Then and first then I import the converted clip into FinalCut to be used in my NTSC projects.
    The quality done in this way - is very good and the program is free - so I can not want any better.
