This is the quick and dirty way of doing it. Read the manuals (FCP, Compressor, DVD Studio Pro) for more information.
Control-click on the sequence name in your Browser in FCP, and select Export > Using Compressor. The sequence name will then show up in Compressor. Select the sequence name that just showed up, and then on the top of the screen select one of the DVD:xxxxxx settings for your project. I would recommend the Best Quality options. You will see 90, 120, 150 minute options. Pick the lowest that you can without it being shorter than your sequence. For example, if your sequence is 92 min, select the 120 min option. You will need an MPEG setting as well as the Dolby setting. Once you have selected your presets, set their destination - use Desktop for now. When you have selected the Settings and Destination for the sequence, Click "Submit" on the lower right of the screen. Batch Monitor will pop up, telling you the progress. When the job has completed, open up DVD Studio Pro.
Once DVDSP loads, you will see on the left side of the screen two large icons in the Graphical tab window. Select each one, control-click on it, and select Delete. Now click File > Import > Asset and choose each one of the files you encoded to your desktop. You should have an MPEG and a Dolby file. They will then show up in the lower left of your screen in the Assets tab once you have imported them. Select both at the same time, then simply drag them to the open space in the Graphical tab. It will create an icon like the ones you deleted. Control-click on the new icon, and select First Play. Put in a blank DVD, and then go to File > Burn. Once this is done burning you will end up with a DVD that you just put in your player and it will automatically play.
Like I said, this is quick and dirty. Read the manuals, play with different settings, and get comfortable with each application.

    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, Flash Video Encoder & Flash Player

    Well, let's get started.... I'm getting real frustrated with
    Adobe. I emailed them about this problem two months ago and NEVER
    got a response. This is extremely unacceptable product support. We
    just purchased the Creative Suite Premium two months ago and have
    never gotten Flash Video Encoder to properly encode a Quicktime
    video exported from Final Cut Pro.
    I have heard from a few on the Final Cut Pro forum on
    Creative COW that there is a bug with this issue between Flash and
    Final Cut Pro. Adobe doesn't seem to care if I report it, so that's
    why I am here.
    I create my program as usual, export a Quicktime file (not
    reference video, but a full self-contained Quicktime). BTW, I have
    Quicktime 7.2 on my Mac Pro Quad 3.0 with 8 gig of RAM. I open
    Flash Video Encoder to make my flash files. Import the Quicktime
    and select my settings which are custom. I set it to encode and
    wait for the encoding to be done. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to
    encode a 23 minute program. After the encode is finished, I check
    the Flash file by opening it up. BTW, I also have installed a copy
    of On2 Flix Exporter, which encodes Flash files, too. The On2 Flash
    player is the only player that works. Adobe's Flash player opens
    but it won't open ANY Flash files.
    Has anyone seen this?

    When I try to import it on FCPX it says "None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again." and even on Compressor it either doesn't play and fails to convert, or else it plays only a the audio but once I've completed the process the outputted file doesn't play anything.
    Here's a screenshot at my different attempts to convert it. I managed to get the record the video on VLC, but I can't record the audio so I tried getting only the audio form Compressor as well, but like I said the outputted file doesn't play any audio even though it's as long as the video (36 mins approx.).

  • Canon hfs20 1080 50i vs 25PF Final Cut Pro X Project settings

    I apologise in advance if this is a newbie frustrating question....
    But I have been searching and reading....and reading....and just cant seem to work it out.
    I have a Canon hfs 20 legria (PAL version) camera.
    I have purchased Final Cut Pro X.
    The camera highest quality settings are 1080 50i or 1080 25pf.
    Now, I think I understand the difference between interlaced and progressive (did some reading on the net).
    What confuses me, is when I import the footage from the camera...into final cut pro X
    I shot some footage at 1080 50i.   ( it is intended to be used as a music video, eventually)
    When I imported the footage into FCPX i let it set the project properties, taking it from the footage shot.
    Expecting the project would set itself, to 1080i 50i.
    I check the project properties, and they say its 1920 X 1080i 25i ( now from my reading, i assumed if it was gonna set 25 anything, it would have been 25p)
    I then copied the project, and manually set its settings, to 1920 X 1080p 25p
    When I play either project, and look at them in the viewer, I cant see a difference. (Now that is probably attributed to the fact that I am a newbie and dont know what I am looking for in the first place)
    Now, also during my searching, I came across a plethora of people, selling coversion software, for the canon hfs20 to get it into FCP. Now I cant tell if this was prior to FCPX , and now FCPX handles my cameras footage. To be honest, from what I had read, I kinda didnt expect my footage to import, and was pleasantly surprised when it did.
    So, on to my questions, you say...8)
    My cameras highest quality settings, are 1080 50i or 1080 25p
    I wish to get the best footage I can, and have it set so it works well with FCP X.
    I dont shoot, sports, hummingbirds etc...its mainly me, sitting playing the guitar, long walks on the beach, looking longingly into the distance...8)
    Which settings would work best, and what should my project be set at , in FCPX to deal with those settings.
    Final delivery, will be, internet, Beta tape for TV broadcast, possibly DVD but that is a distant 3rd.
    Look, I know this is probably a frustrating question, but I would really love some help. Audio, i get, Video makes my head spin..8)
    thanks in advance
    Wiz

    Hi Tom
    and thank you very much for your reply.
    Okay, I will shoot in 25FP from now on...8).
    I also made the change to the viewer settings, though I cant find anything in the online help manual about what it is or what it does...
    thanks mate
    cheers

  • Final cut pro audio missing from clip once i move it from viewer to canvass?

    hi i'm new to final cut pro 7, when i play my video in the viewer i can hear the audio loud and clear however when i'm move it to the canvass and play it in the time line the audio is gone? can someone pls help me

    Probably best to ask this questio in the FINAL CUT STUDIO forum and not the FCPX forum, BUT -- since you're here...
    Make sure that the AUDIO PATCHES are connected to the timeline... those are the pluggy arrow type looking things on the left side of the timeline.  With the clip in the viewer window add it into the timeline.  Audio should come with it.
    Or - do you already SEE the audio tracks on the timeline and you just can't hear it?  (if that's the case, try opening the audio mixer and making sure the master volume is up.
    Good luck,

  • Final Cut - Syncronizing audio/video

    Hello.
    I just started making small video for my band in Final Cut Pro. One thing witch
    teases me is that i can't move the clip or audio precise enough. It's like final cut is set to
    move the clip in frames. I had turned off the snapping option - This helps a little, but not enough.
    Any suggestions?

    That was made before they added it into the help section too... look up subframe editing.

  • Final Cut Pro - Two Video Cards - Display Turns White

    MacPro Xeon 2.0GHz
    3 Gig Ram
    Two nVidia 7300 Video Cards
    Two CRT Monitors and One HDTV
    I have two CRT monitors attached to my original nVidia card. I recently installed a second video card and attached a third monitor to my DVI output (on the second video card)
    I tell Final Cut Pro to display video on third monitor as full screen output. I can see my 720p (or 480p) display. When I press play, the entire screen turns White. (I've tried a CRT monitor, and my LCD HDTV via HDMI to DVI).
    If I remove my Right CRT monitor from my graphics card and attach my HDTV (giving me one monitor and one HDTV) I can get full screen 720p play back. But I don't want to edit with one monitor! I am wanting to have my two monitor editing setup with the third monitor as my full screen display (720p).
    Why does three monitors result in a white frame for playback? Do I need to configure something?
    Help!

    Make sure the canvas or viewer are selected then go to VIEW>CHANNELS and set it to RGB. It might be set to ALPHA.

  • Final cut pro overlapping videos

    Hi
    I am using final cut pro to overlap two video clips together. (the idea of the video is a fashion shoot with the model holding a scarf one clip she is holding one pose and the second clip another and I want them to overlap) I have used opacity to overlap them but as I use this the video loses its brightness any ideas? Its the sky that loses its blueness and it doesn't really look as good as I thought?

    You could try composite modes... right click on the clip in the timeline and change it's composite mode there.  Different than opacity... might take you a while to find the right one.  BUT... it also sounds like a roto job.  Hard to do in FCP, you'll need to do it in Motion instead.
    Hard to tell from the description.
