Final cut pro video in 4:3, not wanted.

hi i am a FCP noob but i have created a video and the settings are: 2048x1556 at 23.98p and the video looks fine in the preview but when i go to full screen it goes to 4:3 and the same happenswhen i export it too. any help?

FCP only edits video in standard video frame resolutions. You can see them in the list of custom settings for a project.
Your media isn't in one of those formats so it's being made to fit into one of them. You have to select one that works for you and fit the media into that.

    I have purchased Final Cut Pro for my imac and now want to put it onto my macbook air so I can use it when away from my desk. How can I do this

    I took away my backup disk with me so just took it from there excellent. I am back home at present working on my imac. When I go to use my macbook air on these projects (when away on boat) is it easiest to simply copy the Project and Events folders in total from my imac onto the other machine and do the same upon my return in reverse? I don't use icloud

  • Final Cut Pro Video Playback not in Widescreen for Anamorphic Material

    I have a Panasonic DVX-100B hooked up to my computer and am running Final Cut Pro. I shot everything in the anamorphic squeeze mode. When I play this material back through my camera (which displays the material as widescreen because I forced it on the camera menu) it doesn't playback on the TV in widescreen, it stretches it back out vertically. Is there a setting in Final Cut that will send the signal as a 16:9 signal to the TV, so that it will understand it correctly?

    No, FCP does not send out an anamorphic flag via firewire. What I mean is, it sends out the video to your deck simply as 720x480, without telling the deck (and therefore the monitor, as well) if that is supposed to be a 16:9 or 4:3 image. In order to monitor with the correct ratio, you'll need to have a monitor that can correct for aspect ratio.
    If you're working on a pro monitor, it should have a 16:9 button (or menu setting, at least). Some recent - as in the last 4-5 years - consumers TVs also have an anamorphic squeeze feature that will compress the image vertically. If you've got a 16:9 TV, you'll need to use the stretch feature (of all things) to correct your preview image.
    All that said, I'm guessing you fall into the last camp: you're previewing out to a consumer TV that cannot do vertical compression? If so, your only alternative is to nest your anamorphic sequence in a 4:3 one for preview purposes. Of course, this is needlessly cumbersome (and you run into the dreaded issues with nests failing to update every now-and-then) and requires more CPU horsepower. Either that or edit with the distorted image...
    Or are you in a whole 'nother situation?

  • Final cut pro x - Title changes are not saved!

    Dear Sirs,
    I have a big project I am working on in Final cut pro x that contains about 300 subtitles (created with the basic title tool), and now when I make text changes to these titles, quit the program and open the project again those changes are gone....!!! This is a serious problem for me, any help concerning this would be greatly appriciated.
    Thank you,
    Oded

    You might not have a compatible video card. It needs to be "OpenCL" compatible. What mac are you using, and what video card? This info is available using the "About this Mac" menu item; click "More Info" to get to the video info.

  • Final Cut Pro- Video stops exporting at 33% in H.264 format to a USB.

    I have made a video using Final Cut Pro which is 51 minutes in length. Some of the clips were filmed using iPhones, whereas some of the clips were filmed using a Sony phone. The clips have all been placed together using Final Cut Pro and effects+music have been added. When I try to export the video to a USB in the format of H.264, it reaches 33% then just disappears from the background processes box. I have repeatedly tried to export the video to different places to see if the USB was the issue, but it keeps stopping at 33%. I looked at a forum which said some people had an issue whereby they found a clip which was dodgy and had to be deleted for the video to successfully export. I tried to delete the correct video clip to see if that worked, and the export then reached 37% but then stopped. The issue could be that the clips filmed on the Sony phone have to be deleted in order for the video to successfully export, however I would rather not delete all of the clips as they are an important part of the video. Also, the video must be able to play on a TV so I have some USBs which are 16GB as the video is 8.9GB. But is H.264 the correct format? Please help!

    That depends on the television set (s). There is no universal standard. Definitely check the TV manual (s).

  • What codec do I need to view a native Final Cut Pro video file in Quicktime

    Greetings all. My video editor provided me with a video file in the native Final Cut Pro format to save time as he could not convert to a .mov file. He said that he is able to open it in Quick Time Pro. I tried opening it in Quick Time Pro but I can just hear the audio. I am guessing it is a Codec issue as I my operating system is Vista (sorry!), and therefore I don't have Final Cut Pro installed. Any suggestions regarding what I need to do to be able to view the video in QT would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
    My ultimate objective is to open it in QT Pro and convert it to a QT Movie, so I can then convert it to Flash Video for online streaming.

    Ask the creator to send you an H.264 version of the file. The current file can't be viewed on a PC and there are no PC versions of the codec.

  • Final Cut Pro Video Import Crash Problems

    Whenever I try to import video files into Final Cut Pro X the program crashes. I've tried numerous formats and nothing is working. If it does pull the video in and lets me see it briefly prior to crashing, the footage appears shaky and with bright green lines running through it. It does not look like this if you play the clip outside of FCP. I've used FCP to make videos within the last year without this problem and have updated as well as uninstalled and re-installed the software to see if that would helped, but nothing has worked. I am stumped and my client is getting antsy for a finished product. Please advise.

    I've had the same problem on both my laptop and my desktop:
    Laptop specs: 13" MacBook Pro (2012) / 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 / 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 / Intel HD Graphics 4000  513 MB / 450 GB Free space
    Desktop specs: iMac (2009), Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.66 GHz / 296 GB Free space
    I'm feeling like a tech moron though as I am not sure about finding this information, "Frame size, frame rate, video codec, audio codec, sample rate."

  • Final Cut Pro 7 crashed and will not open (only gives unusual error)

    Final Cut Pro 7 (from Final Cut Studio 2 installation) crashed sometime yesterday at 8 and any time it was opened it oulde give an error saying that this version of Final Cut wasn't supported by G4 and needed to be upgraded to G5. This is far from true though since it's been working properly and without trouble for about 2 months.
    Also, and I'm not sure if it's related or not, but installer.app stopped working after this happened. Of course, I want to know what could have caused this to happen. Could it have been from switching any settings or working with certain HD footage?
    It's a MacBook with Snow Leapord if that helps.

    yeah, you have to be careful with your terminology, otherwise you start a firestorm.
    Given the ONLY information we get in solving issues is what people write, accurate terminology is critical to solving the problem. If people need someone to read their mind, then they should to take their problem into a repair facility where the tech people can directly deal with the machine.
    Have fun.

  • HT201237 Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 not working under Yosemite

    I have Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8 and it stopped working under Yosemite. Are there any fixes or work arounds? Oddly enough, my copy of Final Cut Express 4.01 still works!
    MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011)
    12 GB RAM
    180 GB Intel 530 SSD

    I'm not seeing Final Cut in my purchases on this device ...
    However ...
    I did change my Apple ID a few times since 2012 (I kept forgetting it and also wanted to consolidate with my other Apple devices ... )
    I actually have Final Cut 10.0.8 installed on two computers. I updated Final Cut on the laptop last year to 10.1 .... but KEPT the old FCP version on the desktop because I liked it.
    However, since I updated to Yosemite on the desktop last week, Final Cut 10.8 will not open --- and I don't have an "update option" in the App store.
    Will this happen on my laptop if I update to Yosemite? That device is running Mountain Lion, I think.  But I would hate to also lose Final Cut 10.1 ... it's all I seem to have left.
    Do I have to purchase Final Cut again for both computers? Thanks very much for your help, it is very appreciated!

  • Final Cut Pro X 10.0.07 not working with Mountain Lion?

    I have just installed Mountain Lion on my computer two weeks ago, and just now I needed to use Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 to edit a video for a client.
    Every time I open FCPX it doesn't open normally.  It doesn't bring up it's normal purple background, just the wording.  And when it opens and I scroll over a video, it won't bring it up in the viewer.
    When I go to import footage, it opens the import window but it's just a grey screen.
    What can I do?  I need to have FCPX working by tonight!

    Use FCS Remover to trash the app and try reinstalling it.

  • Final Cut Pro X 10.0.9 not working after installing Yosemite

    Final Cut Pro X 10.0.9 is not working with Yosemite I installed today, what do I do?

    UUpdate your software. Only 10.1.3 or 10.1.4 work with Yosemite. Significant changes since your version.

  • Final Cut Pro Videos

    I am using Final Cut Pro to edit my videos and the files are so big that after I export using QuckTime Conversison it takes forever to uplaod to YouTube. Does anyone know something I can do to upload videos faster?

    I do it exactly the way you do it. Export the video using "RealTime Conversion" . The videos must be less than 10min though. When you import to YouTube, it does seem to take a while per video though.
    Good luck !!

  • What is the song used as backing for the new Final Cut Pro video ad?

    Nothing to do with the application itself, BUT just stumbled across the new video ad that Apple have released for Final Cut Pro. Really, very impressive - check it out....!
    Question is: Can anyone tell me the name of the band / song Apple are using for the soundtrack of the video? Would love to order it up on iTunes.....
    Cheers!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thanks Brian, I was only half joking. I've been wondering how I'll get used to them in the edit suite.
    I've lost glasses when they were sitting on top of my head. I can't imagine trying to keep track of 3 pair. Fortunately my CRT/LCD vision is the same poor quality as my Drive In Screen vision so hopefully the bi's will let me read scripts while editing without getting a pounding headache.
    Enough of this old guy talk, we're going to start depressing people. (;
