From iTunes Store to Final Cut Pro

How do open a song I downloaded from iTunes Store, into Final Cut Pro?
I tried Opening it, in Final Cut, and I tried importing it. But it comes out as silence. Final Cut knows how long the song is, but that is it.
Then can I edit the song in Final Cut?

You can't and shouldn't.
Your license doesn't permit it.

Best way to export from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, working in DV?

I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5, and I would like to get the best quality from anything I bring in from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, I keep hearing use the Animation codec. I would like to hear from the Panel of experts.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Sebastian

The Best way is to round-trip from FCP. Or simply import the .motn file directly into FCP. If you require an alpha channel and for some reason don't want to bring the .motn file in, Animation with millions+ for the colors (+ is the alpha channel) will work, But if you just want straight DV, you should export a DV file.

When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message

When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message and the export quits. Any ideas on a fix?

Also, if I remember correctly, Final Cut Pro HD was version 4.5. Is this what you are running?
If so, what version of OSX and Quicktime are you running?

Right click one of yur clips in the event browser and choose Transcode Media. Make a test project and playthat clip. See whether that solves your lag.

No refresh displaying iTunes song in Final Cut Pro X anymore?

Not sure what is going on, but when I display iTunes songs in Final Cut they do not refresh when changing from folder to folder. I dont see that problem with other Apps like Garageband, iLife Sound Effects or Final Cut Pro Sound Effects, only when trying to search for songs I know exists in any of my iTunes library folders or playlists.
Im sure it has to be a problem but uncertain when it started. For example, if I am looking at the content of "Impacts & Crashes" from Final Cut Pro Sound Effects, and then select to see any of y iTunes playlists/folders I still get displayed the previous "Impacts & Crashes" content from Final Cut. The only way I can see iTunes content is if I select the main iTunes parent, there I see my whole library. But again, I can't narrow down to any of my playlists or folders.
Was this funcionality removed or is it a bug? Am I the only one with this thing going on? How can I fix it?
Thanks for any help.

Ahh, figured it out - for you folks that notice the same error...
If you have iTunes in an external drive (like I do) probably the drive is sleeping. Wake it up (I doouble clicked my drive to access it). After that your iTunes lib might be accessed from Final Cut. Suppose this applies to anything else trying to import from an externally fed iTunes library.

Mac App store and Final Cut Pro X can a single Apple account purchase 3 separate copies of Final Cut X? Also how do we allow our editors to update FCPX, but not have access to the credit card?

I work for a medium sized compand 400+ people. We have a 3 person video crew. How does our company start an Apple account that will allow us to purchase three separate copies of Final Cut Pro X, but not allow us access Credit Card info, but still allows us to update purchased software? Surely Apple cators to small businesses needing multiple lisences. I appreciate any feedback, thanks!

I would assume that since your company has a video department, it probably also has an IT department. Have them set up the needed account(s) and download from the App Store for you.
You should also contact Apple about a mulit-seat licensing arrangement, but those usually involve 25 seats or more.
Apple doesn't really cater to small businesses ... or any business group in particular. They primarily cater to the consumer market.

Is there an upgrade available from FCE 4 to Final Cut Pro?

I have FCE 4 and want to buy FCP now. Do I have to buy Final Cut Studio for $999? Is there any upgrade available?

You might benefit from calling the store of the maker of Final Cut Pro and ask for a credit if you happened to purchase FCE there...

Exporting a JPEG in 4:3 from video footage in Final Cut pro is impossible

I'm trying to export a screen grab from final cut pro as a jpg. It's easy to export a jpg image, but as far as I can tell, it is completely impossible to export it as a 4:3 aspect ratio image. My video footage is all 4:3 but all of the jpg images I try to export come out squished into 16:9. This is driving me crazy!
Here is what I'm doing . . .
Export >Using Quicktime Conversion >Format (Still Image)
From their I've tried every setting you can imagine and FCP still obstinately refused to allow me to export a jpg image in it's true proportions.
Please prove me wrong.

Awesome! You rock moblie! Thanks a lot for the info. I was wondering why the image proportions were correct in photoshop (ie. 720x480, I thought those were 4:3 dimensions, but I guess it's just resolution?). I adjusted the image in photoshop to be 720x534 pixels and it looks fine now.
I realize this isn't the smartest question in the world, but why isn't 720x480 a 4:3 aspect ratio? I don't really understand aspect ratio all that well (as you can tell).
Thanks again!

Need Help Recording From a PC to Final Cut Pro

Ok First forgive me for my inexperience I'm a Audio Engineer trying to help out my company, because our Video Director left. I work for a Video Game Development company and we always have to record in game video for commercials and this is really becoming a pain to me. The game plays on the PC and I have to record it in small HD segments using a program called fraps because none of the 2 Gig or larger AVI files I record can be opened on the Macs, so I have to go through this crazy conversion process to actually get them to the company that makes our TV commercials. I was Wondering if any of you knew if there was a Box that would let me play the game on the PC and then connect that output to the Mac and Record it in HD directly in Final Cut Pro, and then send that Final Cut Pro Project to the Commercial company. Like using the DVI output of the PC's Video card to a box then output to firewire on the Mac or something like this? Again sorry for my lack of experience and the long post just need some help
Thanks

Short answer yes. Longer one is you'll have to look around to find a solution that works for you. There are converters/scalers that will go DVI to video (HDMI) but then you need a capture card for the FCP system. One possible way is two Intensity cards from Blackmagic Design. Put one in each computer and connect them.

Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

Hi,
I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.

Exporting from After Effects to Final Cut Pro

Hi
Could anybody tell me the best way to export from After Effects, back in to Final Cut Pro? Do I need to get Automatic Duck for this, if so which one?
Thanks for any help!
Matt

You need to add your composition to the render cue and then export to the same format and codec that you're using in FCP. Automatic Duck is a great tool for getting your FCP or Motion timelines into After Effects but most of the time I simply select a clip in FCP, export it as a reference movie, bring it into AE for processing, then render a file to use as a replacement in FCP.
Search for After Effects Final Cut Workflow and you'll find some more tips including this one. It isn't bad for organization but it misses the point of using the same codec. All my FCP projects are ProRez HQ or ProREZ 444 so that's my choice. Also, if you use the entire shot, which is not a bad idea, then you can use the replace footage option in FCP which is more efficient than the demoed technique of dragging your rendered shot into the timeline and then trimming if needed.
Hope this helps.

I am using HD clips from an EHD in Final Cut Pro X.

Upon importing one clip to Final Cut pro, should there be 4 clips on the EHD in the Final Cut Events Folder that look like the following?
2011-09-23 19_27_42 (id) GET INFO says,"EHD/Final Cut Events/Analysis Files/Stabilization
2011-09-23 19_27_42 (id).cbal GET INFO says,"EHD/Final Cut Events/Analysis Files/Color Adjustment Files
2011-09-23 19_27_42 (id).mov GET INFO says,"EHD/Final Cut Events/Original Media
2011-09-23 19_27_42 (id).mov GET INFO says,"EHD/Final Cut Events/Transcoded Media/High Quality Media
What about in Final Cut itself? I have clips in the Event Library that look like both of these below.
2011-09-23 19_27_42
2011-09-23 18;55;49
I am asking this question because I have merged too different events taken of the same event on the same day with two different cameras, and when I do that I get problems with missing red clips with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark !
Even if they aren't related, if someone could explain the reason for the four types of different clips above I would appreciate it. I realize it could be as simple as "that's what is produced on the EHD when you import clips and select the Analysis files for Color Stabilization, etc.
Thanks, Tracy

Since I have an 8TB Pegasus EHD that is rapidly filling up to the point that its almost full, there shouldn't be any problem to go ahead and delete the Original Media Folder after I have an Optimized Folder for that same footage is that correct?
I can now use this "Optimized folder" to produce films in the Project LIbrary with music, transitions, titles, etc.?
If I wanted to be redundant ( Engineering (of a component) not strictly necessary to functioning but included in case of failure in another component) I could put all my "Original Media Folders" on a different EHD in case I had EHD failure. Do you agree?
I couldn't resist putting the definition in parentheses because I couldn't believe how perfectly it fit!!

Importing AVI files from Adobe Premiere into Final Cut Pro 5

I am editing a video for someone who captured the footage on a PC with Adobe Premiere, and he gave me a hard drive with the AVI files. Is there any way I can import them or convert them to import in Final Cut Pro 5?
If not, would settings should he use when he exports the captured footage so that I can use it?

Hello there,
you can use QuickTime Player to convert the files. You need QuickTime Pro for export functionality, though.
Step by step as follows:
1. Open the AVI file in QT Player, select "File > Export".
2. In the "Export:" pulldown select "Movie to QuickTime Movie".
3. Select "Default settings" in the "Use:" pulldown.
4. Click "Options" right to the first pulldown menu.
5. Click "Settings" in the "Video" pane.
6. Set Compression type to "DV/DVCPRO - NTSC".
7. Set other options (interlaced/progressive) as needed.
8. Click "OK".
9. Set audio options in the "Sound" pane using the "Settings" button. (I don't have an AVI w/ sound here, so please see FCPs DV-NTSC Easy setup for approriate audio settings).
10. Click "OK".
11. Optionally: name the file.
12. Click "Save".
For the remaining files, use the "Most recent settings" option in the "Use:" pulldown of the export dialog.
Unfortunately, while QT Player can export multiple files simultaneously, it has no batch capabilities, so you have to open and export each file by hand.
Also, I'm not sure if QuickTime recompresses the files or just changes the container (even if the codec is the same).
Other than that I always recommend Flip4Mac's Episode for this kinda work. This app even has a conversion preset for this. Also Episode allows for changing the container format (AVI -> QuickTime) without recompressing the frames.
Hop this helps, Oliver

How import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

how import mts file from sony nx5 in final cut pro

LOG AND TRANSFER. I have the full workflow here:
http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
Make sure you are running FCP 7.0.3. That version deals with files from the NX5 the best. If you are on a previous version, like FCP 6....you will need to use CLIPWRAP2 from Divergentmedia.com. As the specific AVCHD format the NX5 uses is something that FCP 6 cannot really deal with.
Gotta love new camera formats.
