FINAL CUT PRO 4 to Quicktime movie

Can't create QT movie from FCP 4. Movie is only 6min. Tried shorting movie to 1min but still won't work. the EXPORT stops at 79% both times and then a warning comes up saying CENTRAL ERROR. I don't know what to do. Does anyone/ Please help. THANKS - andy H

CODEC is the compression method you used
ie: MPEG2 is the CODEC for DVD's
MPEG4avc (h.264) is a high quality high compresion codec that is the basis for the BluRay and HD-DVD formats upcoming

Final Cut Pro - Export to Quicktime Movie...

I am in a pickle. I have recently completed a project using Final cut pro 6.0 and wish to Export the project so I can create a DVD using DVD Studio Pro. I have also recently exported 3 sixty minute movies perfectly fine but for some reason this recent one wont.
The Settings I am using are - DV PAL 48 kHz Anamorphic (as Im using a 16:9 format) It starts normally and says Writing Audio and Video, then Estimated Time: About 2 hours, this goes up to '9 hours estimated' then begins. After 1% being completed it 'Unexpectedly quits.'
I can still export using Quicktime conversation and via compressor but want the quality and chapter markers. I cant figure out why is doing it especially seen as it was fine a few weeks ago.
I have tried it again and now im coming up with a message saying "The application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by the KGCore plug-in." Firstly what is that and is it a possible solution?
Please Help

LATEST UPDATE.
If i try and export one project it unexpectedly quits with the first problem, 0-1% done.
If i try and export a different project it come up with the second problem 'KG Core plug-in'
Both are from the same project just different sequences

Final Cut Pro difficulty exporting QuickTime movie out to external drive

Hi every one I hope some one can help me figure out why whenever I export a Quicktime movie and save it on an external LaCie drive, two files come out with the same name but one has an -av1 extension. And if I delete that file the original movie doesn't play.
Any one has any idea???
please help!
thanks.
Pataky

Your external drive is probably formatted as MS-DOS. It has a file size limit of either 2Gb if formatted as FAT16 or 4GB if formatted as FAT32.
In either case, reformat the drive to Mac OS Extended. You will lose any material on the drive in the reformat process unless you copy it to another drive.

QuickTime X: do I need Final Cut Pro to watch QT movie?

We hired a producer to film a teen educational video. I have the .mov versions saved but Quicktime X won't play them.
I get the message "QT can't play this file". When I choose 'more info' I get the message below. Is there an alternative to purchasing Final Cut Pro?
QuickTime Player: Playing media supported by Apple video editing applications
Last Modified: August 27, 2009
Article: HT3523
Summary
Apple video editing applications use codecs that add support for media formats used during editing and by certain video cameras. QuickTime Player can play many of these media formats if the appropriate video editing application is installed on your computer.
Products Affected
QuickTime 7 (OS X), QuickTime X
Final Cut Studio installs the following codec components:
Apple Intermediate Codec, AVC-Intra, DVCPRO HD, HDV, IMX, Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2, and XDCAM HD/EX/HD422.
Final Cut Express installs the following codec components:
Apple Intermediate Codec, Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2

If the files were made by FCP it's possible that the codecs used would also only be supported by machine that have FCP installed.
Ask the authors to send you a file that uses H.264 video and AAC audio.

After Effects, Final Cut Pro HD, and QuickTime 7

Hello friends,
I just wanted to point out a problem I have experienced with QuickTime 7 when using After Effects and Final Cut Pro HD. If this has already been covered by someone else on the forum, please forgive my unnecessary post.
I am used to working in AE 6.5 and FCP 4.5 and exporting/importing QT files between the two programs.
After I downloaded QT 7 (Pro version) with iTunes 6, I discovered that when I export an AE 6.5 clip using the "Export-->QuickTime Movie" menu option, I cannot open the QT file in FCP 4.5. FCP 4.5 tells me that it does not recognize the file. (However, when I use AE's "Export-->DV Stream" option, FCP 4.5 will recognize the file, but it has to render the clip.)
I decided to reinstall QT 6.5.2 (Pro version), and after that everything worked fine (I re-exported the movie using AE's "QuickTime Movie" option, and I was able to open the file in FCP 4.5 with no problems).
Have any of you experienced this problem, or something similar? Do you suppose this is something Adobe might address with a software patch? Or Apple?
Chris
P.S. I downloaded all of the QT 7 patches that Apple released, including the recent QT 7.0.4 and encountered the same problem with AE & FCP every time. This is a problem, of course, because if I choose to stick with QT 6, I will be unable to enjoy the new videos offered at the iTunes 6 store.

Hi David,
Thank you for your reply. Honestly, I am really new to AE, so I am not very familiar with the render queue. When I had QuickTime 6, I would just use the "Export-->QuickTime Movie" menu and then open that file up in FCP. This was a fast and easy process for me. But now, after installing QT 7, I cannot do that, because FCP can no longer read the "QuickTime Movie" file I export from AE.
I will look up some more information on the AE render queue and try using that. Thank you for the tip.
Chris

Hi Chadders_23,
I find if you export to Compressor instead of Quicktime movie you have more control over format, aspect ratio, frame rate etc. Compressor also has templates (for DVD SP) which you can customize and save for your work-flow. It also allows you to batch for multiple compressions.
Hope this helps.

Final Cut Pro Cannot Import Quicktime file "File Error: Unknown file."

Very strange. I have two .MOV files. One of which I can import into Final Cut Pro without a problem. The other gives me the error as described in the subject header.
They have the same Codecs (H.264, AAC), were both shot with the same camera. The only difference I can see is that the one that does import has dimensions 640x480 and the one that doesnt import has dimension 1280x720. Could that be the problem?
thanks for taking the time to help!
Uri

Please give the complete information from the QuickTime movie inspector. Neither file should be used in FCP, but converted to a production format.

Final Cut Pro HD and Quicktime Pro????

Can anyone tell me if I need to have Quicktime Pro in order to be able to edit movie files in FCP HD?
The Quicktime files I have in my Capture Scratch are on an external hardrive and WERE CAPTURED FROM A COMPUTER USING QUICKTIME PRO. My Powerbook has Quicktime 7.0.4 and when I try to play the capture scratch media, it plays for a second and then stops. It's impossible to edit in FCP HD as well.
Any expertise would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks for any help.

You don't need QT PRO in order to edit with FCP. All QT PRO is is unlocked features of QT, the ability to export footage in multiple formats, download QT Movies and add filters to movies you open.
If something was captured with a machine with QT Pro you should be able to edit them fine. It depends on what format the files are that you are trying to edit.
FYI, movies captured with QT generally don't work in FCP. They aren't an editable format. They are mpeg-2 or h.264 which are meant for direct web posting or DVD burning, but not editing in FCP. If you want to capture footage for editing, capture using FCP.

Why won't final cut pro accept my quicktime files

I have the final on my computer but when I look quicktime files up via FCPro the icon appear transparent and I can't click on it. In the past I converted them to some IPod playable final but it killed the definition and took forever so I am not doing it again.
Solutions please?

It may help if you could post a screen shot (or shots) of what you see – presumably in the Media Import window?

Final cut pro not exporting my movie

My movie that I worked hard for is not exporting when I click export movie or when I try to upload it to Youtube I get an error please help me

Are you using FCPX Version 10.1 ?
Try: File / Share / Master File…
Then upload that movie to YouTube.

HT4926 If I download Final Cut Pro X, can I move it or re-download it to a new machine later?

If I download FCP X, can I move it to another machine later? I'm thinking of buying a new machine, but don't want to wait until then for the software.

Yes, FCP X is completely self-contained and you can copy it onto a memory stick, SD card or hard drive and put it on any computers you own.
It's worth keeping a copy on a DVD or SD card in case you ever "lose" your normal one as it's much quicker than downloading from the AppStore.

Final Cut Pro - Can the video move pre subframe?

I recently have two videos. And I want want to synchronize these two videos. But I found that the video can only be moved pre frame and the sound of these two video cannot match perfectly. So I detach the audio of the 2nd video and I try to synchronize my "1st video" and "the audio of the 2nd video" first. My "1st video" and "the audio of the 2nd video" match perfectly because "the audio of the 2nd video" can be moved pre subframe. However, "the audio of the 2nd video" and the "2nd video" itself don't match perfectly because the audio can be moved pre subframe but the video can only be moved pre frame.
How can synchronize everything perfectly?

When you shoot with two cameras, if you want perfect synchronicity, you must lock the video at the time of the recording by using cameras that allow for "gen lock" which uses the sync from either an independent sync generator, or the video of one of the cameras as a reference to lock the cameras together.
More on Gen Lock here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genlock
Without an electronically locked signal, you have the result you are having.
Within FCP, the audio can be moved at the subframe level, but not the video, which must be moved at the frame interval. In most editorial situations, the subframe offset of the cameras does not pose a problem, since the slight temporal shift will be masked by the dramatic image shift of the edit anyway, but I could see where it would be a problem in scientific, effects, or compositing work.

Final Cut Pro: Convert Event to QT Movie

I imported my iMovie Event Library into Final Cut Pro. I woud like to convert one of the events in the library now in Final Cut Pro to a quicktime movie. How do I do so?

skalin wrote:
I do have one more question.
The way I am "exporting" a project from Final Cut Pro to a Quicktime movie is File->Share->Master File. Is that the best way to create a QT Movie from a project?
This is a good way to export. Note that when exporting as a Master File you can choose which codec to use.
For keeping the maximum quality in case you ever need to reimport and reedit, use ProRes 422 - but note this creates huge files that most people cannot play unless they have the "ProRes" codecs (which are installed with FCP X's additional download).
For a smaller file which you can share with anyone else, use H264.
Am I correct that the QT movie file created is not "linked" in any way to the Final Cut Pro Project (i.e., if you delete the Project) nothing will happen to the QT movie?
Yes, you are correct. The result of the export is a self-contained Quicktime file which is completely separate from the project from which it was generated.

What export options in Quicktime Pro or Final Cut Pro should I select to export HDV video in .MOV files to highest quality Windows-compatible files?

I have some HDV video files imported through iMovie to .MOV files with Apple Intermediate Codec.
I need to convert these to Windows compatible video files of the highest possible ( least loss) quality. What export options in Final Cut Pro or in Quicktime Pro should I select? The codex in the converted files must not be Apple Intermediate Codec, for which there is no Windows version.

Okay, I read the whole Flip4Mac website.
Flip4Mac is an application for Apple computers.
Perhaps my question was unclear. When I posed it I was thinking of asking somebody with an Apple shop to do the conversion for me, and wanted advice on settings for his QUicktime Pro /Final Cut Pro that would produce the highest quality Windows -compatible files.
The Windows version of Quicktime will not play Quicktime files with Apple Intermediate Codec. You get black screen video, although the audio does come through.
So here's what I need: I need a Windows application that will transcode Quicktime files in Apple Intermediate Codec, with no loss or very little loss, to WIndows-compatible files. All Windows, all the time. Thank you.

Final Cut Pro 7, Compressor, or Quicktime X do not recognize MobileMe

I'm having issues uploading my movies from Final Cut Pro, Compressor, or Quicktime X to MobileMe. For both FCP and QT X, when I "Share" using MobileMe, it says that either my Username or Password is wrong. I know for a fact it's not because I can use them to login here or on iTunes. It worked before, but now after I did a Pro Application software update, it doesn't let me. I'm not certain that's the direct problem, though. When I try with Compressor, it just tells me it failed uploading.
I tried using both "username" and "[email protected]"
If I use "[email protected]" it says there is some sharing error which I never heard about.
How can I fix this problem, or is anyone else also experiencing this bug?
BTW, every thing else works fine.
Thank you.

Have you tried the full login including "@me.com or @mac.com"? This seems to work as far as FCP or compressor "recognizing" the MobileMe account. Yet when I do it through compressor, even though it says the job is done and all is well it never actually uploads it to MobileMe. It seems to work fine through FCP though.
