Final Cut Pro X 10.0.5 Create Storyline with Audio-Only Clips in order to add crossfade transition.

Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.5 – How to Create Storyline with audio-only clips. I'm following exercises in Diana Weynand's Pro Training Series, and this function is greyed out. Trying to create crossfade transition. New Compound Clip can be activated however.

Chapter 7. Page 269. Exploring Audio Transitions. Selecting two audio clips, then control-clicking the clips. The dropdown menu to Create Storyline or (Command G) is greyed out. The function no longer seems to be available. I've found other functions that no longer apply with the latest version in relation to the book, and I assume that this is another one. But I'm trying to follow the book the best I can. I know there's a workaround. I can simply select an edit point and add the cross dissolve (Command T), but I wonder if this accomplishes the requested exercise from the book.

  • I have an hd movie on final cut pro x; i want to create an sd disk of that movie. compressor created 2 files: dolby.... and mpeg2. How do I get these files burned to disc to create my sd movie?

    I have an hd movie on final cut pro x; i want to create an sd disk of that movie. compressor created 2 files: dolby.... and mpeg2. How do I get these files burned to disc to create my sd movie?

    These are elementary streams and they would be used by DVD authoring apps that use them for reasons like foreign language capability. Examples would be DVD Studio Pro, Adobe Encore, Toast.
    The most straightforward way to burn your DVD is either to use the Share feature in FCP or the Batch Template feature in Compressor.
    If you can find a boxed copy of iLife (try Amazon), it should have iDVD as part of the suite of apps. iDVD offers far more complete authoring capability than FCP or C4. iDVD  doesn't work with elementary streams; you'd just drag in your HD movie and you'd be good to go.
    Good lluck.

  • Hi I shoot on a canon 5d mk11 and I record my audio on an external device yet when I open up my footage in final cut pro x I can't find my external audio files only the ones attached to the clip which are off the camera mic

    I shoot on a canon 5d mk11 and I record my audio on an external device yet when I open up my footage in final cut pro x I can't find my external audio files only the ones attached to the clip which are off the camera mic

    What device?
    What format?
    How are you importing it?
    Can you find the external audio with Finder?
    Where is your destination file when you import it?

    Thank you for your reply. My problem is I used to be able to send video via Blackmagic.  But now I can not find the Blackmagic in the menu of premier. How can I divert any bridge with thunderbird or firewall?

  • If i edit in final cut pro x, how can i create a dvd

    What is the best DVD creator to download to create DVDs  from movies edited in Final Cut Pro X?

    iDVD gets my top vote - it is no longer available from Apple, but still part of the retail iLife 09 or 11 versions available from online resellers. It offers customizable menus/themes which will give your creation a professional look. It encodes/authors and you can burn directly from it.
    Second is Roxio Toast (no customizable menus, but many other features and an excellent burn software).
    I've tried DVD creator and found it to be too simplistic. Then there is Burn (free) - it burns.
    I use iDVD to "create" and Toast to burn.

  • Final Cut Pro 7.03 crashes, impossible to work with the system

    Hi,
    I have a mac pro with the following configuration:
    *2,4 Ghz westmere octa (mac pro 5,1)
    *24Gb Ram in 6x4gb FCM 1066MHz modules
    *DeckLink HD Extreme 3D video card
    *ATI Radeo HD 5770
    *NVIDEO Quattro 4000
    *Tempo Sata e2p esata controller
    I work a lot in final cut pro, but it crashes like every 5 minutes or even faster, sometimes i runs for 10 minutes without a crash. That is terrible and that 10k workstation is not usable...
    I already formatted the harddisk, re set up osx and fcs, installed every update for every part of my workstation but cannot fix it.
    Especially viewing clips as thumbnail galleries (video previews) and working with timelines where you have those little video thumbnails on every cut in the beginning of the clip and scrubbing around there leads to crashes.
    I mostly work on xdcam422 material at 220mbit and 280mbit recorded with the nanoflash, but also in prores422hq.
    Anyone an idea on how to fix this?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    Here the Maintainance Pack Log:
    This crash log suggests that Final Cut Pro was overloaded at the time of the crash. This can occur if your project is overly complex, has multiple Motion project layers or is using MPEG-based media (HDV, H.264, MPEG-2, XDCAM, AVCHD), particularly if you are using filters with such media. Note that overloading is more likely to be the cause of the crash than the reason below.
    Corrupt / Unsupported Media
    This crash was caused by corrupt media or media that is unsupported by Final Cut Pro. A common cause of this crash is using media on your timeline that is unsuitable for editing such as AVI, WMV or MPEG-derived codecs (XDCAM, HDV, MPEG-2, H.264).
    Suggested Actions
    Use Corrupt Clip Finder to locate the problematic clip and then recapture or attempt to repair it.
    If your sequence codec is set to an MPEG-based codec such as MPEG-2, HDV, XDCAM or H.264, change it to ProRes.
    Alternatively, and for best results, convert any MPEG-based media to ProRes.
    If the issue is related to a codec, upgrade the codec if an upgrade is available or consider transcoding your footage to an editing-friendly codec such as ProRes.
    If you are using CMYK images, convert them to RGB.
    More Information
    To improve the stability of your system, create a less complex "lite" version of your project, export embedded Motion projects as QuickTime movies and if you are using MPEG-based media such as H.264, HDV and XDCAM, set your sequence codec to ProRes or convert the media to the ProRes codec.

  • 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 10.0.8. How to automatically move clips to the left?

    I've upgraded to Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8, and there are differences from the earlier ones. How do I set my timeline to automatically move the clips along to the left when I delete a clip in the middle of my timeline?
    I can't find an answer to this question anywhere?

    The backward delete key should do that, The foorward delete key will insert a gap clip.

  • Final Cut Pro 7 - Help!  Can't install, with install disks

    I have been purchasing Final Cut Pro with every version.  I am with the majority that I do not like Final Cut Pro X at all.  The timeline is the worst experience as a pro user.  I was using version 7 and was happy with that.  I upgraded to a new Mac Pro and it has Lion on it.  I can't install Final Cut Pro 7.  My FCP Studio 2 disks wont load.  My FCP studio 3 upgrade disks won't install Final Cut Pro 7 because Final Cut Pro 6 is not on my computer.   Can anyone please help me? 
    Thanks

  • Final Cut Pro X - Clicking off of the film strip on the clip isn't deselecting the clip

    Final Cut Pro X 10.0.8
    Why?
    If I click on the name of the clip name just under the clip in list mode then it deselects. But it's suppose to deselect by clicking anywhere outside the clip in the clip window. I don't know if there is a system slowness problem on my machine or some parameter is causing the interface to not deselect. I tried clicking with both the cursor as the arrow and the hand icons but neither works.
    Any ideas?
       Dave

    Ok thanks for such quick response.
    I wonder why his video tutorial shows otherwise?
    I don't know if he is using an older OS X op system or FCP Pro X version however. Well I'm sure he did since this is not very new anymore. 2007,8 or 9?
    I tried it in non list (filmstrip) view (clicking off of the clip to see if it works like you said and it does.
    Thank you.

    You either need to either:

  • When using Final Cut Pro X, how do I just use the audio from a video that I imported?

    I just want to use the sound from a video I imported. Is this possible? Thanks!

    Sure you can do this. Add the video to your project timeline. Right click the clip and select detach audio. Set in and out points for what you want to export and in the export settings choose audio only and select file encoder you want AIFF, CAF, MP3 etc.. This will give you an audio only Quicktime file which you can then import to FCP to use like any clip.

  • Export to Blu-ray from Final Cut Pro 7 with LG BE12LU30 External Blu-ray

    Hi all
    I've got an iMac with Snow Leopard and I'm editing HD video in Final Cut Pro 7. I've created AVCHD discs on DVD to play in my Blu-ray player but now I want to create Blu-rays that will play in a regular Blu-ray player.
    Has anyone got any experience of using the LG BE12LU30 External Blu-ray Re-Writer with FCP 7? I've checked other posts and it seems one user has had success with an earlier LG Model.
    Basically if I connect this drive and use the Final Cut Blu-ray export option in share, will I be able to burn a playable Blu-ray?
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi I have one of those drives too .. I use FCP to edit export the movie using 'current settings' and then import that movie Compressor .. alternative I also have Toast with the Blu-Ray plugin .. it gives a nice menu template and works well. http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/plugin/overview.html
