Final cut pro x -importing text files

I would like to create subtitles for my video but I find no way to input the text file with the subtitles in a format that FPCX will accept. I have tried rtf and txt format and several variants of these including an xml file created with TextEdit.
I dread the having to work one by one with each bit of text for every sequence requiring subtitles.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

There is this utility called X-Title Importer that should do what you need:

Final Cut Pro Cannot Import Quicktime file "File Error: Unknown file."

Very strange. I have two .MOV files. One of which I can import into Final Cut Pro without a problem. The other gives me the error as described in the subject header.
They have the same Codecs (H.264, AAC), were both shot with the same camera. The only difference I can see is that the one that does import has dimensions 640x480 and the one that doesnt import has dimension 1280x720. Could that be the problem?
thanks for taking the time to help!

Please give the complete information from the QuickTime movie inspector. Neither file should be used in FCP, but converted to a production format.

Final Cut Pro 7 Import Mp4 File Problem

Help! I have been using FCP 7 for some time now and all of a sudden I cannot import an Mp4 file. I get a file error saying the FCP does not recognize the file? I have been importing and using Mp4 files all along. I can't find any setting in FCP that would address this problem?

FCP doesn't work with MP4 (or H.264) files natively. Sometimes they work, but it wasn't designed to do so. For a list of the formats that FCP does work with natively, look at the Easy Setup list. Create your Sequence using one of those then convert the MP4 file to to match that prior to importing it into your FCP project.

Can Final Cut Pro X import .mxf files from Canon XF105

I have just bought new FCP X program, and wanted to buy Canon XF105 - would FCPx can import .mxf - mpeg2 from Canon XF105 ? Need your advice on this.

Unfortunately I can't test it because, though I have some XF media, I can't find the Canon XF Utility on their web site. It comes on the disc with the camera I'm told, but I don't have a camera.

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

You don't need to render before export.
Rendering is for playback.
If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

How do I import my Final Cut Pro 10 (FCPX) XML files into Logic 9?

I am using 10.0.5. Which is the latest version Of Final Cut Pro X. I export my project out as a XML in FCPX. Then went into Logic 9 clicked on import then selected XML how ever the XML file was grey and Logic wouldn't come up as a valid XML to import. Please help me! Thanks

AFAIK Logic 9 can't import the form of XML that FCP X outputs.
There may be other ways to bridge the gap, but since I don't use Logic 9 I can't help further.

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 X and .vob files

Hi
How do I import a .vob file into Final Cut Pro X?
I use an iMac with Mavericks installed.
Thanks

Hi Tom
I've just read through an old post from May 2013 on this forum you answered, found here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5010061?start=0&tstart=0
If I have to use the 1.9.3b8 version of MPEG Streamclip where do I get the QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg component from? Do I purchase from apple (will Mavericks let me install?) or is there somewhere else I should get the file from?
Many thanks

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 X Importing crashes

HI,
I am a long time user of Final Cut Pro but Brand new to X.
I am trying to make my first log and capture and it just hangs.
There is no "Import from camera " option from the file menu.
I access it through the "Media" option.
As soon as I turn my camera on, it hangs.
The camera never pops up and I am forced to quit.
I have plugged and replugged the camera.
I have uninstalled "FCPX" and reinstalled it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
T/S

I tried disconnecting everything.
I went out and bought a new 800 firewire.
Nothing...
Finally, wondered if maybe the camera just wont work with the 800 firewire.
Went to apple and bought a
Moshi 800 to 400 FireWire Adapter.
plugged the old cord in through the adapter and it worked.
My suspicion is that the camera is so old, it wont work on the new firewire.
But I really dont know.
Thanks for trying to help.

Final Cut crashes when importing AVCHD files

Final Cut Pro 6.0.4 crashes when I try to import AVCHD files in the Log and Transfer window (Add clip to queue, etc.). Any help appreciated.

Found the resolution for my problem;
FCP currently (As of 22/10/08) only supports the bottom data rate at 1080i from AVC-CAM cameras. Anything else will crash the program.
Also needs 10.5.5 and 6.0.4

Why won't final cut pro x import my media anymore?

I recently encountered a bug with final cut pro x. Previously I have been importing AVCHD files and working with them directly in the application. But, today as I went to import some more of the same footage it acknowledges an import, but nothing shows up in my events folders.
This is really bizarre. Not only this, but I tried importing a regular .MOV file directly by drag and drop, and via the import button, to no avail.

I never knew that "/" were part of the Unix code. Thanks for that. As for importing AVCHD video through the application by Cmd-I, I have done that as well. It still doesn't work.
Here is what I've done:
And nothing shows up in the event folder.

HT4663 final cut pro x import question

So I have a 500gb external hard drive that is open. On another external hard drive I have about 300gb of footage. So far I have imported 80gb onto the open 500gb hard drive and it has filled it up. Am I doing something wrong on the import into Final Cut Pro X?

I am not 100% sure what you mean by where did it come from, so I don't mean to sound dumb but I will explain it best I can.
I went on a road trip across America and filmed around 300GB of footage. It was shot on Sony XDcam I believe. The media is .mts. I broke the footage up into 4 different legs of the trip, and each folder varies in size the first one is 80GB and the second is around 50GB and so on. So I am Importing them by their folders one at a time. So when the first Leg of the trip was done importing I noticed the 500GB drive I got for the footage was already full.
So the way I imported was I clicked on the import button and went through the archive button to find the hard drive with the footage. So I don't believe I used the optimize function when I imported, unless it was the proxy setting that I check marked during the importing process.
Here is a screen shot of what kind of footage I am trying to bring in, I hope it helps.
Thanks

Final cut pro x importing imovie project

I have iMovie '11 and am trying out Final Cut Pro X's trial version. Final Cut Pro X will not successfully "import iMovie Project." Two things happen: 1) It starts the import of the iMovie Project but only reaches the point where it shows video outline in dark grey with no acual video imagery and 2) shuts down Final Cut Pro X with a follow on option to "Report, Ignore" to Apple. I've reported it, but would like to know if anyone is having the same issue and if there is a fix. I have just the Trial Version to see if I wish to buy, but if functions are not working properly I won't buy it.

I have the full version and I can't get iMovie '11 projects to import into FCPX. I have tried everything I can think of. The import progress bar starts, then it crashes. Anyone with instructions on getting in it please help. I am migrating stuff to my new MBP and the iMovie stuff is recognized by the iMovie on the new MBP. The iMovie events did import into FCPX fine however.
