From Final Cut Pro to Final Cut Express

I shot something in HD on a P2 card and captured it into a computer with Final Cut Pro. I want to edit it on my laptop at home, on which I have Final Cut Express. If I export the FCP file and make it a quicktime file to use on my FCE, will the video maintain its HD properties? (Forgive my ignorance. I'm still learning.) Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing but if you shot it on P2 media in HD it's probably DVCPRO HD. The codec for this format is only available with FCP. You can't edit this edit in FCE unless you export it to the the Apple Intermediate Codec. Yes, there will be some quality loss in the porcess.

  • Final Cut Pro to Final Cut Express -- Format issues?

    Hi,
    I'm shooting a project on a Panasonic HVX-200A, and my cameraman is going to import the footage to his Final Cut Pro station. He's then going to transfer the FCP footage and data over to an external hard drive, which I am going to use to edit the film using Final Cut Express.
    Will there be any formatting issues if I bring the data from Final Cut Pro to Final Cut Express?
    Thanks!!

    Clip files can be easily imported into FCE if they are QuickTime DV-NTSC/DV-PAL or Apple Intermediate Codec (720p30, 1080i50/60). If they are other formats/codecs they should be converted to DV or AIC before importing into FCE.
    FCPro project files cannot be imported into FCExpress.
    I'd suggest a trial run before committing the project to this workflow.

  • Stream Safari/DVD audio from my Macbook Pro to my Airport Express.

    Is there a good way to stream all audio from my Macbook Pro to my Airport Express? Not just simply the iTunes audio.

    This does work in general but not for my particular need.  I have a Mac G5 using ProTools and a MBox digitizing vinyl (USB connection).  I am on a MBP getting work done elsewhere in the house, but want to listen to the music and especially to tell when album side is done.  To get music to the MBP,  I have plugged the G5's line inputs to the MBox line outputs, then used messenger to create a chat with the MBP.  Too bad I could not get the G5's input to be the MBox, but ProTools wants sole control.  Works OK, but the messenger output on the MBP will NOT go to the Apple Express, just the speakers or headphone out jack.

  • Final cut pro vs. final cut express

    I'm a complete newbie looking to get into basic video. What are the main differences between final cut pro and xpress. Thanks!!

    Final Cut Express only works with DV, HDV and AVCHD formats.
    Final Cut Pro works with all those and most industry standard editing formats too.

  • FInal Cut Pro or Final Cut Express HD?

    Hello everyone. I'm trying to decide which programm will be appropriate for my needs, so I want to find out what is the main difference in final cut pro and their cheaper version of Final Cut Express HD?

    FCE works with DV only...FCP works with many many different formats. That is the biggest difference. There are other major ones, like what effects are available to you, but that is the biggest.

  • Outputing video from the MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro

  • Buying Older Versions of Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Studio

    Is it possible to get new older versions of Final Cut (Pro or Studio) from Apple?
    Or License Keys?
    I'm not ready to take the plunge to the latest versions yet.
    If not from Apple, where would I buy LEGAL versions?

    Official Apple stores pull ALL old software the moment new versions come to market. For example, if you tried to purchase a copy of FCS from Apple the day after FCS2 was released, you'll be told it was no longer available. However, there can be a lot of software in other distribution channels - you just have to work harder to find it.
    If you go the internet route, you need to be VERY careful that what you purchase will fit your situation. You do not want to be purchasing an UPGRADE package if you do not already own a qualifying product. The registration process will not work without the correct previous version's serial number (SN).
    As an example of the subtlety of the situation, if the software is listed as the FCP 5.1 CROSSGRADE, it may or may not include a SN depending on the version it was intended to upgrade. I believe owners of v 5.0 did not get new serial numbers but users of 4.5 and earlier as well as those who had academic licenses received new serial numbers.
    No matter what version you purchase, you need to receive all the install disks as well as all written material along with the serial numbers (if they were included - see above). I'm not trying to dissuade you but just letting you know there are a number of 'gotchas' out there.
    Good luck,

  • Just bought Final Cut Pro 7 (Final Cut Pro 3)

    Hello,
    I have both Final Cut Pro 6.0 and the new Final Cut Pro X running on my mac. Should I unistall, delete both FCP 6 and FCP X than re-install the new FCP 7 and than FCP X. Just wanted to do a whole clean re-install of FCP. Or can I just pop in the FCP 7 and install over the 6.0 version? Is it a conflict to have both FCP 7 and FCP X running on your system? or is it ok?

    Before installing FCS create a new folder called  exactly  Final Cut Pro X  and put it in in your Applications Folder.
    Put FCP X (together with  Compressor 4 and Motion 5, if you have them), into the folder.
    Finally install FCS normally.

  • Can Final cut pro open final cut express projects

    I have a FCE project and I used my 7D shot at 24p. So I converted the files so I can edit them in FCE. But I found out that FCE timeline only edits at 29.97fps. I was wondering can I open a FCE project in FCP so I can edit in true 24p?

    I have FCE 4 and I will be opening it with FCP 6 so that should open fine I assume? and I have already started my editing on that project but I would like to able to finish it up in FCP while taken advantage of editing in 24p, thats possible right?

  • How I Install Final Cut Pro 6 on my Mac Pro with Final Cut Express 3?

    Any recomendations with the data, previous edits etc?

    I think he's asking about problems one might expect when installing both Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express on the same computer. I assume he's also asking if he'll be able to move files from FCE to FCP without problem. And maybe move them back?
    That's my guess.

  • Final cut pro make Mac pro kernel panic with RAM from other manufacturers

    hi all
    if i installed RAM For mac Pro from 667MHz DDR2 fully buffered ECC RAM from other manufacturers
    final cut pro (just final cut)
    make the machine kernel panic messege
    all programs working good (like adobe and other compositing program) but final cut freez the machine and kernel panic
    the standard RAMs good

    Ahmed:
    You can try visiting/searching the Expanding your Power Mac G5 forum. You'll find A LOT of help about RAM issues.
    Any RAM brand must work but you maust be sure it follows the MAc specs. Some brand sites have good product locator by computer manufacturer/model (i.e. Kingston and Crucial). In fact there is no Apple branded RAM, they use a lot of different ones.
    Inside FCP settings you'll find how to manage the memory that the program use, but that settings depends on the total quantity of memory you have installed, and you didn't post that information.

  • Upgrading from Premiere Pro to Final Cut Pro

    Hi,
    Could anyone tell me if there is any way for Apple to allow me to crossover and upgrade from Adobe Premiere Pro to Final Cut Pro?
    Our company has a full version of Adobe Video Collection 2.5 (Windows Only). I am now working fully on a Mac Pro, so need to get a copy of Final Cut Studio, and if there is any way to upgrade, instead of having to buy a full copy i would be happy to use it.
    If anyone knows of a way to do this, could you let me know?
    Thanks,
    Steven.

    There is no crossgrade option for Adobe to Apple software.
    You could always run your Adobe software under XP in Boot camp or Parallels on the MacPro. If you don't/can't do that, then it's time to have a chat with your line of credit banker.
    good luck.
