How do you transfer FCP Studio Pro footage to FCP X

I have a lot of footage ond my FCP STUDIO PRO and want ot upgrade to X. How do I get the footage over to this new software?
thanks

If you mean your FCP 7 projects - you can use an application called 7toX to transfer them to FCP X.

Can I open Photo Studio .psf files in Photoshop CS5

should i be able to open photo studio files (.psf) in photoshop cs5? How?

PSF is also an extension for color proof preset/ files in Photoshop.
However, Photo Studio's PSF files may be opened in Photoshop if you change the extension to .JPG. However, you may be unable to use editing capabilities of the file.
Do you have a Canon software where Arcsoft's Photostudio came bundled?

Can't Open Final Cut Pro file

Hello - I've been given an FCP file that I tried opening in my FCP 6.0.6 and it said "Files format too new for this version." So I assumed it was a FCP 7 file. So I downloaded free trial of FCP X to see if that would open it and it wouldn't either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a converter out there that will convert down to FCP 6? I paid for 7toX and it wouldn't read it either. THANKS!!!!

Thanks Gregory. I have read something similar. I was actually trying to see if there was some kind of converter out there that I could download that could make the XML file. Looks like I'll have to ask the person who created the file to send me a XML file. Thanks again!

Opening a Logic Pro file in Logic Express

Hi my Nephew is thinking of buying Logic Express (He can't afford Logic Pro) so we can collaborate together on some toonz. Now if I send him a song I have created in Logic Pro will it be OK for him to open in Logic Express to work on that song?
What will have happened to all the parts that I have created on the instruments in Logic Pro which are not available in Logic Express? would it just be MIDI notes/ data? and vice versa.
Many Thanks

Hi there...
When i'm in the studio I work with LP7, but on the road (and its more often then not) I use LE7. This 12" powerbook 1.5gz w/ 1.25mb 80hd has the FULL LP7 install and the FULL LE7 install, as well as lots of Garageband loops, and most free, AUs.
In Express (with a LP7 install, on the same machine) the ONE thing that is poor, is opening a LP7 project that leverages PLUGS for LP7. But that's ok as Sculpture and all those other goodies are too cpu hungry for a single G4 (IMHO).
So you will not get those working, BUT, with a real LP7 install the EXSp24 can OPEN the instruments from the much much larger library of material inside LE7. It's kind of like Logic Express-PRO...sounds strange i know.
Oh, and don't forget that LE7 need to really be the 7.1.1 version as that one adds the HybredMorph inst from GB. Keep your bus counts down and no auxs in the LP7 sessions if you KNOW a LE7 users will pop them open
YMMV... but Good luck.

Hello all.   Hope someone can help me. I recently downloaded some updates for my imac. Since doing this the computer starts up but I get no logon box. The home screen opens but I can't open any programs or files. I've tried rebooting, no joy. Help!!

Hello all..   I hope someone here can help. I recently downloaded some updates to my imac. Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock. I've tried rebooting with no joy.
I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared. Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

I use to have iphoto, it doesnt open anymore, it says there is 1.2gigs on that disk.There are many things on here that are the same way. Where do I start?
It's always good to go with one thing at a time and stay focused on that. Let's start with the OS you're running. Click on the Apple menu > About This Mac. What does it say under Mac OS X version ?

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

Can't open FCP 6 project file on FCP 5

FCP says: "can't open a never version file",
so - *is there any possibility in FCP 6 make SAVE AS older version?*
in FCP 5 i can't see any possibility to do that.
maybe there is another way to solve my problem?
thanks!

Hi,
welcome to the forum,
FCP is not backwards compatible.
A solution is to export your project as XML in FCP6 and and import that in FCP5.
Check out the link below or read the clear instructions in the manual:

I can't open any 60p .mov files in quicktime. Footage was shot on a JVC GY HM150 which is supposed to record in native fcp format. Any ideas how I can open these files successfully?

I can't open any 60p .mov files in quicktime or FCP5. Sometimes in QT the audio plays but not the video. Footage was shot on a JVC GY HM150 which is supposed to record in native fcp format. Any ideas how I can open these files successfully?

Get ClipWrap2 and convert to an editable format for your version of FCP5.
Probably DVCProHD will work

I have several Files created in Logic Audio for windows before v5.5.1 which can't open in Logic Pro X. Any ideas for a solution to this problem, The Windows files that were created in v5.5.1 open OK. I lost my XS key during a recent house move so can't update to windows files before trying to open in Logic Pro X

If you can open the windows files in windows you can bounce the tracks out as audio. Then load them in X

Help! Can't Open Mac Book Pro Lid

I can't open my MacBook Pro. I hesitate to try and pry it open with any kind of device, because I"m worried about breaking something. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be very much appreciated!
This has happened to me before, but somehow, eventually, the lid eventually pops open.

Especially if this plan applies to your machine, even if you are out of AppleCare:

How Do I Use DVD Studio Pro Files In iDVD?

I had somebody create a DVD for me using DVD Studio Pro. (This was a compilation of many different videos.) It turned out great.
I now want to make a DVD of one of those videos on my own using iDVD '08.
I have the raw video/audio files. But, my problem is the raw files that were used for the DVD Studio Pro project are separated into one video file and one audio file. I don't know how I can get them both into iDVD. I was told that I have to recombine these two files into one file. But, how do I do this and still maintain the best quality?
(I am not a video expert by any means, but I can tell you that the video file is a ".mpeg" and the audio file is an ".ac3". When looking at the .mpeg file in the finder it lists its Kind as "MPEG Movie" and when looking at the .ac3 file in the finder it lists its Kind as "Unix Executable File".)
(I'm using iDVD 7.0.1 - I do have Quicktime Pro - I do not have the Quicktime MPEG-2 Playback component - I do not have DVD Studio Pro)
Thanks in advance for your help!

Q: How Do I Use DVD Studio Pro Files In iDVD?
A: You don't, essentially.
DVDSP is apple's top end app and it is intended to be used with FCP > Compressor > DVDSP. All of these are pro apps.
i-Apps are consumer apps all of which are QT based. With that in mind ....
now that doesn't mean you can't use FCP > iDvd. You can. But you have to do it in a way that iDvd will read all the files (meaning you must think in terms of QuickTime and export in this way). So when you export your QT File / Movie from FCP over to iDvd, it will look something like this hopefully regardless of the raw image & audio files you have already compiled which unfortunately will NOT work with i-Apps BUT will work with apple's pro apps which is the intended workflow / direction of said files in the first place.
Btw ... if your QT movie has chapter markers then please use the following settings so iDvd can read these markers. (if on the other hand you were looking to export this file to DVDSP; then you would choose DVDSP Markers.
Let me know if the above helps. If not, just come on back.

I can't open any of my files

i can't open any of my files after transfering the files from my macbook pro... help...

What happens when you try to open the files? (Any error messages?) What kind of files are they? For example, if they are Word documents, do you have Word (Office) installed on the new Mac?

Can't Open Final Cut Pro X

I can't open Final Cut Pro X. The problem seemed to start when I deleted some old backups. Help?

Close FCP X and re-open holding the Option key.
This will allow you to create a new Library, do so.
If the newly created Library works OK then there is a corruption issue in the current one that doesn't open.
Try a backup, usually found in your Home>Movies folder.
