Final Cut Pro 7, mixed video resolutions correct to make all same size in sequence...?

I need to know the correct way to have mixed video resolutions in the same sequence, what is the correct way to get they all to be the same resolution, do I do this before they are added to the sequence, if so what do I use to make sure they all match the same resolution?
If I do it in the sequence, what is the correct workflow to do so?
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Sebastian

What are the pixel dimensions and codec of the sequence you want to create?
What are the various source pixel dimensions and codecs you will be using?

Which versions of Final Cut Pro support HD video?

Which versions of Final Cut Pro support HD video? (Other than 6)

Uncompressed HD...that can be done with FCP 4.5 or higher. But as said, you need a capture card, no matter what version you use.
DVCPRO HD support started in FCP 4.5. P2 DVCPRO HD support started with 5.0.4. HDV support started with FCP 5.0, and is much better in FCP 5.1. XDCAM started in FCP 5.0, better in 5.1. AVCHD requires 5.1, and AVCIntra requires FCP 6.

What version of FCP X?
Did you render? what are the project specs? do you use many compound clips? how much ram, hard drive space, how is the hard drive connected?
It looks like your mac can't keep up. Maybe the bottleneck is the hard drive, or something else.
Try exporting a master file and see if the video is ok.
Also, keep Activity Monitor open and see how much memory pressure you've got.

It will work just fine. I would max out the RAM

When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
Does it play in your Mac?
What brand of disks are you using?

Final Cut Pro X Exported Video Size

I've recently bought Final Cut Pro X and use it for editing videos before uploading to YouTube. I used to export my videos from iMovie as a .mov file to my hard drive to then manually upload to YouTube. There doesn't seem to be this option in Final Cut, so I've taken to using the YouTube share feature but it never uploads so I just manually upload the .mov file that it saves somewhere in the Final Cut shared files folder.
The problem I have is that I export a 720P file so assumed that the video size would be 1280 x 720, it always was with iMove. I've found that Final Cut spits out the video at 1248 x 702 and this is quite annoying as it sometimes cuts off the top and bottom of a video. Is there any reason why it does this or any way to get it to export at the correct display size?

How can I change the size? Normally I export at 720P in iMovie and the video and format are both 1280 x 720. I did a screencast using Quicktime and due to the change in display size it's chopped off the toolbar at the top and a small portion of the dock. I've had to resize the clip in Final Cut to 95% of the original size to get it to fit in the 1248 x 702 size that it chooses to put it in.
As this was only a screencast the file size tends to be this small, but normally I shoot at full HD on my camcorder and the video can be about 10 mins in length. I used the export media function and the resulting file was about 8GB in size! iMovie would typically give me a .mov file anywhere between 700MB - 1.5GB depedning on the length of the video and that suited me fine, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get it that small using the Export Media. Not much of a problem really coz I'm fine using the YouTube share option to get what I want.

Final Cut Pro X exports video clip as black

Hi Everyone,
I have a big problem, I'm trying to export a project with many HD clips, the first of which is the only one being shot as AVCHD on a Sony DSLR and converted to .mov by Voltaic HD because otherwise I can't import it in Final Cut Pro X. The rest of the clips are directly imported from another camera, no conversion.
The first clip (the one I had to convert) plays and gets edited fine within FCPX, but after I export the whole project, all the part that had that clip is just black picture with no sound. My titles, photos in the meantime are still there, but otherwise all black until the next clips show up.
The sources clips are hd1080p but I'm trying to export the project as 720p. My FCPX version is 10.0.9. I've edited videos from the same source and conversion before and never had this problem.
So now I just took the same single clip into a new project and exported it at 720p and there it just works fine ... Arrrghh!! How can I fix this?

I am having an almost identical problem:
Trying to export (doesn’t matter to what: Master File, Apple Device, etc. all lead to the same result) the project I am working on is producing a black screen with no audio (for the length of the project) – only the start and end titles get rendered.
The project plays fine in FCP X 10.0.9; the initial screen on the export dialog produces a correct looking screenshot (with both the picture and title visible), and predicts realistic sizes for the export file, which ends up being tiny by comparison.
Other projects with a similar workflow are exporting fine: basically I have shot a couple of concerts, and each project is one song with start and end credits and some color correction, stabilization, etc.
The source was 1080P video from a Canon SLR 5D Mark III, and it is being exported to 1080P -- however, I don't think that's relevant, because video from the same source to the same export files worked fine before - FCP X can obviously handle the format involved.
I tried deleting the FCP X preferences -- didn’t help. I had already tried deleting the render files.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Final Cut Pro 7 stretches video footage

This question is for Final Cut Pro 7 and, as I was informed, has been posted in the wrong place. However I am unable to move the thread. I apologize for any confusion.
I have video footage that is 853x480, which is a slightly odd dimension. When I import this footage into FCP7, it stretches it to be 1011x480. Why is it doing this, and can I prevent it? The video footage is .mp4 file type.

FFCP7 questions should be posted on the Final Cut Studio forum.

IMovie nor Final Cut Pro will import video from camcorder

Both iMovie 10.0.5 and the Final Cut Pro Trial I just downloaded (to test before purchasing) will not import my movie. The movie plays on my camcorder and it plays in both iMovie and Final Cut but when I click to import, a message appears in the top right corner that reads: NO DATA FROM DEVICE.
Once again, the movie plays on the camera AND plays on the screen. But there is nothing recorded into an event and no file / data transferred to the computer.
I searched the support forums and tried a freeware named DEBUT. It worked but the video playback was very poor, scratchy and blurry.
Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.9.5
Camera Sony DCR-TRV460 (8MM, Digial 8, Hi8 tapes)
Firewire 4 pin to Firewire 800 cable, into Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor, into iMac.
How do I get these old tapes into iMovie or Final Cut for editing?

I don't think I can help with your Digital 8 directly into iMovie 10.0.5 or FCPX, but try a few work-arounds.
Try copying iMovie'09 from old to new Mac via a memory stick or external HD. It is only 250 MB.
This still may not work on the new Mac as it may be an issue with Digital 8/Mavericks combination. Any way if you can get iMovie 09 onto new Mac ,give it a try.
OR
Buy an external HD and transfer some data onto this to free up some space on your MacBook.
Then use your MacBook /iMovie 09 to import to Events onto your external HD.
Connect external HD to new Mac and import the DV files in Media of iMovie 09 into FCPX.
A word of caution!
When the files are imported into FCPX from the Media in iMovie 09 check to see if files are copied or just referenced.
If they are copied then you can delete them from iMovie 09, if they are referenced then you must not delete from 09.
You can normally tell: if copied then it takes a while to transfer,If referenced then done almost immediately.
My guess is ,they will be copied, but check.
The above is a bit messy but may get you moving with your new Mac.
Buying a new Mac is an expensive way of overcoming an overloaded HD on the MacBook. Cheaper to buy an external HD.
This may be useful;
How can i move or copy projects and events to an external drive? (Version 9 and earlier)
Someone may be able to suggest a fix for Digital 8 into FCPX directly.

Final cut pro 7 viewer video running slow (Strobing)

Hey,
Im having a problem with my Final cut Pro 7. Just all of a sudden my video viewer footage when I play it back has been strobing.
Help please?

Does this happen with all the clips you load to the viewer or just some?
Click on a clip (that is strobing) in the FCP browser to select it, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for that clip.
Either report those properties here or take a screen shot of the item properties for the clip and post that here.

Final Cut Pro crashes when video is added to the timeline.

I have Final Cut Studio 5, and every time I use Final Cut Pro, it crashes when I add video to the timeline.
I meet all the system requirements, have all the updates, have trashed preferences, and have also uninstalled and reinstalled the software.
Everything else in Final Cut Studio works fine. What should I do?

The codec for the sequence is "DV/DVCPRO- NTSC". I converted a .mov file to a DV movie, and Final Cut worked just fine when I put the file into the timeline.
So this solves the problem, but I have one question. Am I going to have to always convert files into this format now? Or is there a way I can import the files without it crashing?
Thank you.

FCE4 to Final Cut Pro with HD Video

I currently use Final Cut Express 4 and was thinking about upgrading to Final Cut Pro (Studio 3). In the past I wasn't using HD video but I will be soon, will FCE4 fully support HD video and are there any advantages to working with FCP instead of FCE for HD? Any input would be helpful.

Hi(Bonjour)!
What is your camcorder model?
FCE 4 support MiniDV NTSC, miniDV PAL for standard def, HDV AND AVCHD for HD.
HDV and AVCHD are transcoded to Apple intermediate codec when imported in FCE.
Final Cut Pro handle HDV natively but not AVCHD that is transcoded to Apple ProRes codec.
If you do not need to work with native HDV, there is no reason to buy FC3 regarding the editing aspect (Final Cut Pro) as FCE support around 90% of FCP features for basic editing.
But FC3 come with other applications that give better tools to handle tasks like audio sweetening (Soundtrack Pro), DVD authoring (DVD studio Pro), compositing and graphic motion (Motion), HD sharing (Compressor) over the net, on BR DVD, etc.
Go with FCE 4 and keep your money to buy external hard drive(s) for a dedicated media storage solution, a must for HD editing and a better HD camcorder.

Aperture or Final Cut Pro X for Video Org

I don't really see a reason to keep importing (linking) videos into Aperture at this point, considering the robust meta data capabilities of Final Cut Pro X. Other than having all video and photos in one place (Aperture database), does anyone have a reason?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Angelo

Thanks Shawn,
I'm switching to organizing all videos in FPCX - the keyword and Event options (smart albums) are pretty powerful and it's much easier to skim video. With the direct browsing of Aperture projects in FCPX I will have quick access stills for when combing both in a video. It would be nice to only have to deal with one piece of software when cataloging files from a HDSLR, but Aperture just isn't up to the task for video.

Final Cut Pro Trial doesn't import correctly from iMovie

I am trying the trial version of Final Cut Pro.
I am trying to import iMovie Projects into Final Cut Pro.
When I do so, no clips import (they are all still photos) and sometimes the sound imports and sometimes it doesn't.
Is this just because it is a trial version? Does this work normally in Final Cut Pro?
My end goal is to create a DVD.

They are all in a folder on my Mac.
What fodler? Are they in iMovie Events?
aren't the free tracks in iMovie/Gargage Band/etc, free of copyright?
Yes, but FCP won't link to them if they're not in events.
You should finish these projects in iMovie.
