Final cut trial not allowing dvd burn, is that built in to trial?

It allowed me to save to desktop but quicktime file is huge, 53 minutes =47g and 33 min was 15 gig. I thought I may want to try other software but need to get this project out. Will I be forced to buy or is there work around?

OK, I have gotten it to post a video to you tube. I don't see any kind of status indicator telling me that it is actually working, though. Am I missing something? I just get an email from you tube a couple hours later telling me I have a new video.
But I have been unable to export a disc image, do you do that in the share menu as well? I still can't share to a DVD either.
I really love the quality of the output of FCP, much better than anything else I have tried and am very interested in buying it, but if I can't get a video onto a DVD it's not going to be much use to me. All I want is to send high quality movies of my daughter to her grandparents. They are usually of dance or orchestra performances so if the quality is not good you can't tell who she is.
Thanks so much for all your help.
If "DVD..." does not appear as an option (see the first picture), you will have to use the "Add Destination..." (also in the picture) to add DVD as an option. Then you will get the window in the second picture (altenatively, you may also access the "destinations" window via the preferences). You can just drag any of the options in the right panel to the list on the right, and reorder by dragging. You customize you export options to yuor heart's content.

Audio transitions in Final Cut Express--Not Allowing

I'm trying to drag and drop an audio transition (specifically, Cross Fade 0dB) in between two mp3s that I imported into Final Cut Express and which currently reside on the A1 and A2 audio tracks. When I attempt to do so, I get an "X" telling me that I can't. I have rendered everything that needs to be rendered, video and audio. What else do I need to do? All honest help appreciated. Screen shot available upon request.

Okay, done...this FCE is a picky b*&ch. Hope it's worth the trouble. It's my first day playing with it, but man, what a friggin' learning curve. Not to brag, but I consider myself gifted when it comes to computers...and this thing is giving me a headache...
While I have your attention, if you don't mind me throwing in an unrelated question, my iTunes has suddenly been experiencing slowdowns. I don't mean 0.5- to 1.0-second slowdowns. I mean 5-second slowdowns where the spinning carousel keeps me from doing anything. How can I research to see if I have inadvertently installed some software that is doing this BS? It is rather irritating!!

Best program to use with Final Cut Express to make DVDs

Im using FCE 3.5 HD and I want to create nice DVDs. I know how to edit and create good picture videos, but iDVD just doesnt cut it. It compresses my image WAY too much and it makes everything look bad. I had a 4.2 GB HD video that I dropped into iDVD and it downsized it to about 2.7 GBs Anyone know why exactly? Is it because iDVD makes everything SD? If so, then whats the best way to grab my full HD video and drop it into iDVD (for the mean time) so that it fits it exactly into a 4.7 DVD and doesnt compress it sooo much like from 4.2 GB down to 2.7 GB (thats a really BIG down conversion). So more like, what can I do to make perhaps a 10 GB full HD video drop down to fit into the 4.7 GB on the DVD? <---Thats actually question 2. For question 1: I would LOVE to have DVD Studio Pro, but it only comes with Final Cut Pro and I dont know all that as of right now. Any way of getting DVD Studio standalone or what other programs can you refer that is as good, better, or almost as good as DVD Studio?? Thanks!

FCE works with dv (=13GB/h) or AIC (=~40-60GB/h).
videoDVD contains files in mpeg2; the standards allow a max. bitrate of ~9MB/sec ... = 1h=4GB ...
so, the encoding from FCE to iDVD HAS to drop the file size.
iDVD is a consumer tool, so no manual settings of bitrates.. it has some 'automatic' benchmarks= project length <60min = max. bitrate, <90min=6MB/sec, <120min=4MB/sec.
iDVD allows import of HiDef projects, but does not support creation of HDDVD(=dead format) nor BR-disk.. Toast9 + Roxios plug-in + an ext. BR-burner allow creation of BR-disks.
you find older versions of DVDSP sold single at eBay.. but those versiosn are not for Intel-Macs, will run under Rosetta=slow..

Font Families in Final Cut Pro not recognized

I was curious if there was a way to allow entire font families to appear in the text tool in Final Cut. Currently only the name of the family shows up and when it is seleced Final Cut seems to arbitrarily choose one of the fonts from the family to display. I have tried this with OpenType, PostScript, and TrueType fonts, and all of them have this same problem. I am also sure that the fonts are installed correctly, as they all show up without a problem in every other problem. In addition, I have tried it on multiple machines and all have the same issue. I have also tried computers with fpc4, fpc4.5, and fpc5, along with a variety of fonts.
Is this just something that final cut does not let you do? is there any way around this other than making titles in an outside program and bringing them in as jpgs or the like.
any help would be great
Thanks,
Tim

For copy-protection reasons, DVDs (the video ones) have a regional "code" - for example, North America is region 1, and Europe is 2 (grosso modo). Computers for the most part ignore this, but common DVD players don't - so a region 1 player refuses to play region 2 discs, etc.
In old times, I remember that DVD drives that came with Macs were set to some region (presumably according to where they were bought), and there was a way to change it, but you were limited to some 5 changes, after which the drive would be locked at whatever "region" it was in. I don't remember how that region was changed, but it does look like the region associated with the DVD drive in your mac did indeed change, so as to make it different from your local one.

Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
Make sure SD DVD is selected:
(If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
Build your DVD and you'll be fine.
Patrick
P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

Final Cut Pro not accepting serial number??

I was working on a project just fine this morning. I close out and just tried to open Final Cut and it brought up the licensing window, so I put in the serial number and it says it's not a valid number. What happened??? Im on it for an hour this morning and now Im blocked out 5 hrs later?? I have Final Cut Pro 7.

I'm having the exact same issue as Chester Finney1. I would LOVE to know how you fixed it, because I can't seem to. If anyone knows how to fix this without needing to contact Apple, that would be fantastic!!!
I'm on a MacBook Pro and have Final Cut Pro 7. It tells me that my serial number is invalid for Final Cut Pro 7, Compressor and Motion. But DVD Studio Pro and Soundtrack Pro are fine.

Final cut studio not launching

I am running my final cut studio 5.1.2 on a macbook pro
2.16ghz intel core duo. 2 gb of ram.
My problem is that all of a sudden final cut does not launch. I simply
click on either the project I am working on or from the appocation folder
and does not even open up. I trashed my preference, repaired disk permission and even reinstalled. Nothing happens. I wonder if I need to do a complete
re-install, meaning wiping everthing out including dvd studio,motion,etc
and then re-install. Any suggestions. I was currently working on a HD project
when this happened.

See if any of these help:

Final Cut will not open up? Help

Hi all,
I have many projects on in final cut pro. I went to open it up this morning and final cut will not open. I see it trying to load and then it does not open. Can anyone please give me any ideas on what the problem might be.
Thanks,
Wildmangoose

Well, you first need to determine whether it's Final Cut that won't open, or just one project. To determine that, you can either trash the preferences or create a new user Account and log into it, then try opening Final Cut from the new Account.
If it opens, then you know FCP is OK. If you've done that with a new Account, then log in to your original Account, and take the media volume offline. I'm assuming you have all your media on a separate volume from your boot volume.
With the media volume offline, try to open that project in Final Cut. If it opens, then you have a corrupted media file, either a captured file or a rendered file.
You then then to find the corrupted file by the process of elimination. More on that later. For now, try the first step and report back.

Final Cut to NOT open on older project every time

Is there a way to have Final Cut Pro NOT open on the last project all the time. Sometimes I just want it to open fresh without taking 5 minutes (exaggeration) to open the last project I worked on. Thanks so much!

I should have seen that. Thanks. Although what I really want is an option like when you open Aperture or iTunes with the option key held down you can select what library to open instead of the default. Usually I want it to open the last project but sometimes I don't and it is a pain to have to wait for it to open all the timelines and then close them all down again. I know..... I want I want I want. Thanks!

Final cut will not shut down stays in the dock and I have to reboot

Final Cut will not shut down ..... stays in the dock and I have to physically reboot

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by stuck in Dock.
You reboot your Mac. Is FCP trying to open automatically (the icon bouncing)? Or is it just visible in the Dock?

Final cut express not opening

Deleting the preferences should not require you to re-register. Did you delete them correctly?

After you trash the preferences launch the application not a project. Where exactly in the launch sequence does it fail?

Rendering - Final Cut will not render clips under any of the 3 choices?

Final Cut will not render clips mov, or dv under any of the 3 choices, including stuff I have done before.

I realize your problem is solved, but I thought I would post this is case it might helps others in the future.
Under Sequence-->Render--> OR Sequence-->Render All--> OR Sequence-->Render Only--> make sure you have check marks next to all the different video types ("Needs Render", "Proxy", etc).
If there is no check mark, then the video won't render - and this can sometimes seem random, like what happened in your case.

HT3258 what about final cut does not recognize mts file

what about final cut does not recognize mts file

If you have an AVCHD camcorder, you need to select one of the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec Easy Setups in FCE that matches how you shot the video in your camcorder. (eg, AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 would be appropriate for camcorders produced for North America unless you selected some other video type in the camera's setup.) After selecting the appropriate Easy Setup, create a new sequence then import the video from your camcorder.
If you only have the .mts files themselves (perhaps because you copied them to your hard drive without their entire surrounding AVCHD folder structure), that's another matter. In that case you need Clipwrap or similar app to transcode the .mts files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec before importing them into FCE. You still need to have the correct easy setup in FCE.
It would help to know exactly what make/model camcorder you have, and what model Mac and versions of OS X and QuickTime.

Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk. My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standar

Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk.
My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standard Definition, now it just defaults to Standard Definition.(I'm using Apple's DVD Player)
Can I fix this problem?

Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?
