  • What file type to export vid from final cut to studio pro

    Beginner here, the question I have is what is the best file format to export from final cut to studio pro so that I will play in a decent to good quality on a DVD that I make in studio pro. Thanks.

    For my FCS projects, I export DV_NTSC "anamorphic" (I use 16:9 format) to a "reference" movie: that is quite fast after all rendering is completed and the resulting file is pretty small. The only disadvantage to "reference" I've found is that you must keep all those FCS file around since those are what is referenced by the export.
    I export like that instead of exporting to compressor because for me, exporting directly to compressor is very slow; on my G5 Quad, my compression step is about 1:1 with real time.
    You can take those .mov files into DVDSP and let it do the compression using your defaults. I prefer to use Compressor directly so I can set the compression, Dolby, etc. parameters. Compress to mpeg2 and AC3 (Dolby Digital) and if you are just in stereo, just keep it in stereo, check the "no surround encoding" and make sure the highest audio level in either channel is -3db (or the compressor setting let you reduce the level by 3db). That prevents a downmix to mono (like on a cheap TV) from clipping (-3db + -3db = 0db. (zero plus zero = +3db and is clipping).

  • Final Cut 7: Apple Pro Res Export Drops In File Size?

    Hello all. We are noticing a 30% drop in file size when, after importing a 5-minute Apple Pro Res HQ file into Final Cut and performing minor editing (essentially removing a few frames from the ends), the resulting export (also Pro Res 422 HQ) is noticeably smaller, going from roughly 2.5 GB at the start to 1.7 GB at the end. Has anyone seen this? Is this normal? Does it affect file quality? If so, is there a workaround? Thanks for any and all help!
    Sequence and imported clip settings both match and are at the highest quality. The original file was captured from a BetaSP into Final Cut as a Pro Res 422 HQ via a Sony DVW-A500 deck.

    Those numbers suggest the possibility that you captured 29.97 and exported 23.98. Any chance that's the case?

  • Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X

    Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X.? Need to share files up to 6GB.
    I need to know if the 20 gb limit is about all that I share, or if it's just about whatis in the clouds. If I take, recover my limit?
    The speed of upload e download is good?

    The Creative Cloud file storage could be used for video assets but speed and performance might vary based on location. I would suggest you testing it out yourself using your Adobe ID before subscribing. Performance would not change after you joined.

  • Pro platforms & software? Mac or PC? Final Cut, Avid, Premiere, etc.?

    I've a 14-year-old niece who, with iMovie, Garageband and iDVD has, in the past year overtaken her Dad's digital video camera and has produced two films (that she's finished - she has others in the works) that would be remarkable for a 40-year-old and are almost unimaginably good for a 14 (soon to be 15) year old.
    Her parents and I are considering getting her the Final Cut Studio package with a Mac and enough storage space so that she can get a head start on doing what she wants to do with her life - make movies. She was able to use an older copy of Final Cut Express on a friend's father's Mac and fell in love with it - she actually understands all this stuff after just playing around with it.
    Another friend's father, however, is a educated amateur and he uses Adobe products - Premier, primarily, I believe, and my niece keeps us with what's going on in Hollywood and has heard good things about products from a company called Avid and although I think that she would rather stay on a Mac platform, for certain, and she's quick to let her parents know what Hollywood films were edited, etc., on Macs ("Brokeback Mountain"? Is that true) and I think that she'd be delighted with a wicked fast Mac and the Final Cut Pro Studio package, we would like to get her a system with which she can - hopefully - be ahead of the game when it's time for her to go off to film school (if she hasn't had a major studio pick up an indie film of hers by the time she's 18!).
    I know that there are companies like Sweetwater who put together and/or recommend system packages but I'm also wondering if there are video specialists that do the same? I'm also wondering if the Final Cut Studio package is actually robust enough to mix and edit a finessed final product (was "Brokeback Mountain" really edited on a Mac?) or if the Adobe products on a PC platform are more of an accepted professional 'norm'?
    She already knows the camera that she wants (she shoots everything with a single camera) and the microphones, etc., that she wants for enhancing sound... BUT, although I truly believe se wants to stay on a Mac and use her iMovie, GarageBand, and iDVD skills in a more professional environment, she is being swayed a bit by her friend's evil PC-loving father.
    So I need some help.
    1. Is there a video resource similar too what Sweetwater is to audio?
    2. Is the Mac or PC more prevalent amongst pros (or indie/beginning pros, at least)?
    3. Are the Apple products superior to the Adobe and Avid products or - if they are fairly equal - is the Studio package integrated as the iLife products?
    And last, I suppose, is the fact that we're thinking that Apple will be introducing the 'wicked fast' Intel desktops before Christmas so that will likely be our last purchase after we've perused the 'packaged' products (which I just assume MUST be out there!) and so while I'm glad that Apple has upgraded the Studio package to Universal binary, the choice of machines is made even more difficult by the fact that what we likely want to get or her hasn't been introduced yet.
    Any answers to the three questions - or any other suggestions - will be much appreciated. It's a long time before Christmas but this is going to be an expensive venture that could well determine just how well my beloved niece will be able to fulfill her dreams.
    Life was so much simpler when girls her age just wanted ponies..

    i've been perusing Promax and have definitely settled on FCP as the software o choice and, s the camera is a 'done deal' (she knows hat she wants there!) it will ultimately come down to, I think, the CPU 'box' itself. I always think of computers as having a three-year 'window', after which time something new and exciting is blazing trails and (usually) costs have dropped (not as significantly as in the 1980's-1990's, but in terms of real dollars todays G5 Quad is a sizzling bargain compared with what I paid for my MDD Wind Tunnel G4 in 2002.
    So although I would expect some of the equipment (and software - with upgrades) to remain useable for 3 years (at which time my niece will be a freshman in college) my thought at the moment is to wait until, say, October, too see if Apple is going to have blazing fast Intel machines ("MacPro" is my current guess for the name of the Intel desktops!) to go along with the Universal FCP apps. My guess is an August announcement with late September, early October shipping.
    I my prognostication is wrong, however, she'll be able to 'make do' just fine with PM G5, I think. When I know a bit more about what I'm talking about (I've ordered a couple of books from Amazon to at least learn some lingo... i watched the MacBreak 1080p and compression podcasts and understood about half - when it comes to setting up a home theater, I know what to do, what i need, what to wait for, etc. But the 'broadcasting' bit is over my head (and although she may wind up in TV and need to know all that stuff, it's movies she's aiming for - yet she's realistic and says that even if she finally gets to direct a local used car commercial in her career she wants to make sure that it's the best ever!
    All of this info has been tremendous - and kind of given me the impetus to begin a project started long ago (first on 8mm then 16mm... and ending just this year with miniDV!). I have a lot of iMovie footage and have burn some iDVDs but I just don't have the creative juices of my niece!

  • Final Cut - not so - Pro!!! comments?

    First and foremost I need to express my emotional reaction to the Final Cut Pro X debacle. I find what Apple has done to be absolutely shameful and dishonest.  You can not mislead professional users like this.  Its just wrong. Its more damaging for the entire brand more than just FCP.  Their marketing strategy of late has become one of an untrustworthy company.  For all of us Pro users who have forever sworn by Apple, defended its honor, stood by and defended Final Cut even though Adobe Premiere was - and now set in stone - actually IS technically a superior NLE. We have been robbed, disrespected and dishonored.
    Now down to business.
    If there is any request that should be made it should be for Apple to take the Pro out of Final Cut.  Its no longer valid and is now actually a blatant lie.  I feel sorry for the many post facilities, tv stations, schools and production company that will now have to literally reinvent the wheel in terms of current workflows. What do you think apple feels about how much these people have to suffer - by releasing this software - obviously nothing.  I just read a feed about a poor bloke who was trying to find out whether his facility will need to switch to Avid as they cannot seem to find any answers as to whether there is any MC Color or MC Transport support for FCP X, sadly enough as well as this release is going he will most probably end up going with the Grey and Purple Vomit.  The ridiculous and vastly premature decision of Apple's to release this so called Pro NLE is especially apparent in the fact that there is no Pro I/O? Therefore it is no longer Pro, Apple! Its the most basic function of an NLE - How do I know whether my fields are right or wrong? How do I know my reds aren't bleeding? I don't. More importantly with this software I can't know. Thus one cannot use this software professionally. Next.  As great as Final Cut X is, I don't think its going to do a better job at coloring my project than a Davinci nor a Baselight and shame we'll give the crusty Lustre some credit too. Nor can it process audio better than Protools or Nuendo. Nor conforming film projects than say a Smoke or Flame. So what makes them think that Final Cut shouldn't need to communicate with the other apps? My problem is that people are talking about it as if its okay that its going to be an upgrade in an update.  That is unaccpetable. A key function you have always had in legacy version is not something you take away in your new version. Especially as key a function as OMF/EDL/XML import/export.  Its ridonkulous. The ichat theatre THEY introduced in the previous version? I can post to Facebook and Youtube though.  Maybe I'll just ask the broadcaster that I still need to deliver TAPE to that they can get there program of my facebook page!!!  I don't mind getting used to the GUI.  I remember when I started on AE it was version 5.  You look at CS5.5 now, its basically not even the same thing in terms of the GUI.  So as for the GUI - They can do whatever they want as long as its functional. But I am certain the maybe more senior editors may not agree.  When I downloaded the FCPX I also got the Ripple training videos.  Fantastic technological and functional advancements and to see it in action was amazing. A rolling shutter plugin from The Foundry for AE will cost £500 and Final cut will do a fairly decent job of sorting it out for you and thats included in the $299.  The auto stabilisation DURING import - pretty good.  Now for me the hum dinger is the sync tool.  That is for nothing where as with Pluraleyes you pay $149 which is half the price of FCPX.  So there are pluses, a lot of pluses. Unfortunately more so for my guitar-ing nephew who may want to make a music video with his mates at school and publish it to Facebook and Youtube. Not so much for the lets say 13part 26min ENG entertainment show you may need to pump out an episode a week and deliver on TAPE!!!
    Personally, I say functionality - whoah!!!! Pro use - ***? Would never use this app on an actual job... never... not in a million years in its current condition.
    By the way, Avid must be rolling on the floor laughing about this. I know I would -  This software as a professional application is a joke.

  • Final Cut, Quicktime, and Pro Tools conflicts

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a "situation" I recently encountered, and wonder if anybody else has had this problem.
    I'm trying to upgrade Pro Tools LE to version 6.9.2 with the install discs that were sent to me from Digidesign, and it's wreaking havoc with Final Cut Pro and Quicktime.
    Initially when I installed the upgrade, I was running OSX 10.4.2, FCP 5.0.3 and QT 7.0.2. The Pro Tools upgrade worked fine, as did FCP when I launched it, but Quicktime wouldn't launch- spinning beachball forevermore.
    So after doing all the basics- trashing pref's and render files, repairing permissions, etc.- and finding QT still wouldn't work, I tried upgrading to QT 7.0.3.
    Once I did that, QT still wouldn't work, and Final Cut Pro would no longer launch. It just hung on the application startup screen, at no particular point each time.
    I then upgraded to FCP 5.0.4, and as well OS 10.4.3. No luck. I installed the Pro Application Support updates 2005-02 1.0, and 3.1, and still no luck.
    Since there is not yet a downgrade from QT 7.0.3 to 7.0.2, I ran the 7.0.2 to 7.0.1 installer, and downgraded to QT 7.0.1. QT still wouldn't launch, and FCP still hung on launch but this time it hung at the point where it was loading audio filters.
    I tried removing the audio filters from their folders to see if it would launch then, but that didn't work. At this point, the only thing I could think to do was to uninstall Pro Tools altogether (safe uninstall, not clean uninstall) and this is what finally brought Quicktime and Final Cut back to life. Great, because I use FCP and QT everday, but I no longer have the use of Pro Tools.
    Throughout this process I made sure to diligenty repair permissions, trash prefs, and restart whenever I made a change.
    So I'm not sure at this point how to get Pro Tools LE 6.9.2, Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, and Quicktime (any version above 7.0) to work harmoniously, and I'm unable to spare any more troubleshooting time for a week or so because there are of course, projects due.
    Has anybody else encountered these oddities?
    Thanks a lot,
    Joni

    Hi, Joni C
    I'm Bump,
    I'm having the same trouble, I have FCP I'm running it on a G5 power Mac dual 2.5 ghz with 2.5 gb of memory, my os is 10.4.4. I also have Quicktime pro 7.0.3 and I have Pro Tools LE 7.0, every time I try to use FCP it starts and about five sec. later it shuts back down. I also have a Universal Audio UAD pci card that runs audio plugins and I also have fxpansion program it converts my vst & Au plugins to rtas for pro tools le. IBefore I installed FCP I wiped my hard drive and re installed a fresh version of tiger 10.4 and then I installed FCP studio, then Pro Tools, then all plugin and kept checking to make sure every thing was working correctly and then the U audio stuff with the Vst to rtas wrapper and it all was working fine. I even did the full final cut tutorial still worked fine. Yesterday out of no where final cut just stop working and still all the other programs work fine like dvd studios, soundtrack, motion, pro tools. If you can shead any light on this I would be very greatful

  • Transferring From Final Cut Express to Pro

    Hey! I am looking to upgrade from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro. I have a present project in Express and plan to finish it shortly. However, can I take this file from Express and finish editing it in Final Cut Pro?
    Thank you!

    It has been reported that FCE projects will open in FCP. It does not work in the reverse direction, once the project is in FCP, FCE will not open it.

  • Upgrade from Final Cut Express to Pro 5.0

    I think I made a stupid mistake. I purchased Final Cut Pro 5.0 upgrade thinking I could upgrade from Final Cut Express. But when I am asked to enter the previous versions serial number, it does not accept it. Is there any way to do this or am I going to have to buy the full version of Final Cut Pro?
    Also, I have a G4 Powerbook with the following specs. Is it going to run the program if I do finally get it installed?
    CPU Speed: 867 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    Memory: 640 MB
    Bus Speed: 133 MHz
    NVIDIA GeForce4 MX

    To upgrade from FCE you need the Final Cut Pro 5 Upgrade from Final Cut Express. I just upgraded FCE and that worked fine for me.
    Hope this helps answer your question...

  • Import iMOVIE with sound? Export Final Cut Project to Pro Tools?

    I am considering the 30 day free trial for Final Cut Pro X. I have a new Macbook Lion laptop.
    I made a short film in iMOVIE 09 on my new laptop. I am getting it professionally scored next week. Can I seamlessly transfer iMOVIE project into Final Cut Pro X so that it keeps all my audio tracks? For example, I have natural background sound on many video clips. I have also added "monster" sound effects all over the place. I have voiceover here and there as well. So I am wondering if I import iMOVIE project to Final Cut Pro X are all the sounds merged (I don't want this) or does the project appear in Final Cut Pro X just like it does in my iMOVIE (video clip with a few audio clips under it)?
    Second question - The audio post company would need to export the project from Final Cut Pro X to a software program called Pro Tools. There are a whole bunch of "preferences" needed to be checked off to make sure they get project the way it should be. However, my question is does anyone know if Final Cut Pro X is compatible with Pro Tools Software?
    FYI - if I don't do the above I was told I need to make 8-9 copies of DVD of movie in iMOVIE. One would be video with natural sound when I filmed and all other sound turned off. Another DVD would be just voiceover sound and all other sound turned off etc... The audio post company needs each sound isolated so they can manipulate audio levels etc. This sounds like pain in butt which is why I am attempting to see if I can do the above.
    Thanks, Todd

    Thank you all for help. Spoke to engineer at audio post company. I told him it sounds like that I can export iMOVIE project to Final Cut Pro X and keep audio tracks. However, I cannot export Final Cut Pro X project to Pro Tools. Hence, no point in moving iMOVIE project to Final Cut Pro X.
    The engineer told me to make Quicktime files of the 4 minute movie with each different audio track. He said as long as the track does not overlap I can have multiple sounds... for example, if my voiceover occurs from 0 sec. to 30 sec and that is only sound then I can keep in a monster sound that occurs from 1 minute to 1 minute 30 sec. etc.
    I did forget to ask him one question. One filmmaker noticed that I had stereo monster sounds and mono monster sounds. I would think most people would not notice difference but the filmmaker did. Not sure if this company can fix something like that?
    Thanks again for all your help. The thing that is weird about all of this is if I buy the latest and greatest Final Cut Pro X and make my next project from scratch with it I still won;t be able to export using Pro Tools... Sounds like Pro Tools only works with Final Cut.

  • Final cut causes mac pro to crash

    Hi, I have been editing hd footage on my macpro, which is only two months old, and it can't handle final cut pro or motion. It crashes constantly when ever I try to play the timeline back. The timeline is set to safeRT and it is always rendered.
    Is there somthing wrong with my mac or is there somthing that I have not configured?

    try the time tested method of trashing preferences
    try these
    FCP rescue
    FCP Attic
    un YASU to purge your system from tme to time
    also make sure your sequence settings match your capture presets, and your hard drive (external to your system HD I hope) is not too full (80% capacity at most)
    hope that may help

  • Final Cut & Mac Book Pro

    Hi, does any body know if Final Cut Pro 6 works on a Mac Book Pro?

    I've been using FCS2 on my MBP 17" for more than a month without a problem.
    Of course, a MBP doesn't have the growth potential that a tower Mac has, but if your need for portability exceeds the need for additional internal drives, various expansion cards or more than 4GB memory, the MBP is perfect.

  • Final Cut Crashes MacBook Pro

    I have repeatedly tried to export a project I just created to a DVD, and each time my 2009 MacBook Pro 17 inch reboots because of a problem that occured.  It also randomly does this when editing videos occasionally as well.  Is anyone else experiencing this same problem with Final Cut?  It is very frusterating to not be able to export my project and put it on a DVD without my laptop crashing.  Let me know if anyone has suggestions they would be greatly appriciated. 
    Thanks

    It sounds like you have something going on with your system beyond your ability to make a DVD. That could be hardware-related or a software issue.
    Has FCP ever worked reliably?
    I'd start by using Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager to trash your preferences.
    Other trouble-shooting steps:
    Open Disk Utility and verify disk. Run Repair Permissions.
    Run Apple Hardware Test.
    Good luck.

  • Live capturing from Panasonic AG-HVX200 using Final Cut and MacBook Pro

    Does anyone know if the MacBoko Pro using Final Cut can capture live 1080i video from a Panasonic AG-HVX200 to an external firewire hard drive?

    Great info. I'll get on those other forums.
    Not that it is an 'issue,' but to answer the question I was INITIALLY thinking of getting a laptop just to capture video, and edit on my desktop. But I see that the advice of getting the biggest baddest laptop would be a better idea and I've read others say that being able to edit 'on the road,' is a great potential.
    I checked out the only tested and approved by Panasonic Firestore and it's the FOCUS FS-100 that comes standard with a 100GB hard drive that provides 1.5 hours of DVCPRO HD recording time with a list price of $2,195.00.
    (If using PAL, you need the PAL version)
    Other than the valuable other forums mentioned here, I found a good site for FAQ's for the Mac/AG-HVX-200/FCP, at: https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/cs/csregistp2m/ep2main/faq/p2faq .htm
    These FAQ's, above, say that "going directly into a PC is possible, but it may fail to record some frames per second. This depends on the performance of PC. So we do not recommend this method."
    There is a rebate if buying the USA warrentied camera before the end of the year: a free 8GB P2 card (advertised as a $1,200 value)
    I think this answers all my questions about this topic. Thanks everyone for the info and the patience.
    P.S. - There is a free contest, BTW, to win the biggest badest laptop, the 17"-MacBook Pro, at http://www.pcmag.com (of all places!)

  • Final Cut to Soundtrack Pro Audio Drift

    I have Final Cut Pro 7 and Soundtrack Pro 3 (the latest ones) and I can't figure out why when I send my audio to Soundtrack Pro the edits are off. I'm using multitrack multitrack project and exporting from Final Cut, but my in point on my audio clips changes to a little earlier and ends a little earlier. It's like it's drifting. I'm using aif files. Everything seems normal. I thought this version of Final Cut Studio would enable me to easily do this.
    Any ideas?
    BTW I am running Snow Leopard, but that should be a good thing right?

    You are pushing the envelope working in fcp6 in Mavericks.  Did you do a clean install of Mavericks and FCP?  That's usually the way to get a stable system.  Here's a user tip on Installing OS and FCP
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2861
    As a workaround, can you just save an aiff in soundtrack pro and bring that in to fcp?
