Hey! I can't export SoundTrack 1.2 file back to Final Cut Pro 4.5

Hi -
I just successfully cleaned up some cruddy live audio that I had on one clip that I'm editing on using FCP 4.5 - by using Sound Tack 1.2. Now that I have the audio the way I want it, I find that I am unable to select File>Export Mix or even Export Tracks.
The file that I saved is a Sound Track document. I can find no other way to save it as anything other than that. I tried sneaking it in by importing it in FCP, and even tried dragging and dropping the thing into a bin, but no go.
I notice while in SoundTrack that I cannot highlight the audio track that I cleaned up - but I was guessing that this was due to it 'belonging' to the entire FCP file. If this is so, does it make a difference about saving and exporting it? I could not copy the track and paste it onto a new track. It seems that the only thing I can do is simply save it. But it's no good to me as a pretty Soundtrack file.
Any help on this is appreciated with muchos tacos.
Thanks.

this is why folks are urged over and over again to make a backup/clone of their system before any major system or critical application upgrade
what you can do is an archive and install from your old OS X (Panther) disks, run all the software updates, then reinstall FCP and again run all the software updates
or pop out and buy a new hard disc ... reinstall Panther and FCP 4.5 on that and then just reboot from that disc when you need to run FCP, that way you get to enjoy Leopard the rest of the time
... or run out and buy your Christmas present early and do the upgrade to FCS2 (its a bargain)
once bitten twice shy ... in future always clone your system before a major upgrade

  • How can I playback blu-ray .img files generated by Final Cut Pro X?

    When I share a Final Cut Pro X project in Blu-ray and I set the output device as Hard drive (blu-ray), it creates a blu-ray image with a .img extension.
    By the way, the project's clips are AVCHD (.mts extension) and the settings are set to 1080i (1440x1080 25i).
    My question is: can I playback this file without having to burn a blu-ray disc?
    I've been looking for information, and some people seems to playback blu-ray .iso files.
    And: would Compressor 4 solve my problem? (is there anyway in Compressor to create a .iso image or something easier to play?).
    By the way, I do have access to both Windows and Mac computers.
    Thanks in advance,
    Pol

    Thanks for the answer.
    If you own Compressor 4, could you tell me if it includes an option to generate a .iso file instead of a .img?
    (here's information on how to playback a .iso).
    Thanks,

  • Can't use HDV quicktime .mov files (captured in Final Cut Pro) on a mac at work) on my PC at home

    Hiya everyone!
    I've taken some work home from the macs at work, but can't open it on my PC.
    Footage was captured in FCP on a mac at work, HDV quicktime .mov, but won't open in the newest quicktime, windows media player and more importantly in Adobe After Effects CS3 or Premiere Pro CS3 on my PC at home.
    When I try opening the files in quicktime, the screen is white, but the audio plays. They don't open in windows media player at all. When I try to import them into Premiere, I get a message reading, "Error Message, Codec missing or unavailable". But they import into After Effects, except they only play as white...
    I've tried converting them into almost everything, and they often play (as .avi for example in the newest QT, WMP, Adobe Premiere and AE), but they increase A LOT in size and decrease A LOT in quality.
    The HDV files that won't open read as:
    Source: *.mov
    Format: HDV 1080i50, 1920 x 1080, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 48.000 kHz
    Movie FPS: 25.00
    Playing FPS: (Available when playing)
    Data Size: 69.53 MB
    Data Rate: 28.10 mbits/sec
    Current time: 00:00:01.64
    Duration: 00:00:20.76
    Normal size: 1920 x 1080
    Current size: 1920 x 1080
    Anything smaller than 1920 x 1080 plays fine.
    I've been all through google, and the adobe and apple sites, and the best I could find is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7753066#7753066
    and
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8159317&#8159317
    My problem is almost identical to these 2...
    No one in the whole world seems to have an answer...
    Does anyone here know how I can use the HDV files from the work macs on my PC at home?

    As a rule of thumb, any CoDec associated with the Apple Pro applications is generally not available on Windows. This also includes their flavor of HDV. The only exception at this point is ProRes, for which they added a player component recently. So therefore this would have to be what you use for capture/ export from FCP. Apart from that you can of course always buy a capture card from Blackmagic or AJA with the benefit of the CoDecs being available cross-platform... Or you use a commercial software-only CoDec like Cineform.

  • Error sending multi-track project back to Final Cut Pro, can't open XML

    I am an experienced Final Cut Pro user but just tried using Soundtrack Pro for the first time on a real project. I sent the audio from my Final Cut sequence to a Soundtrack Pro multi-track project, added a few effects and created some fade-ins and fade-outs, and then tried to Export back to Final Cut.
    I selected "File > Export", named my file and selected "After Export > Send files to Final Cut Pro sequence."
    Now in Final Cut an error appears that says "The document “Name.xml” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “Final Cut Pro XML File” format."
    Am I crazy or is something wrong happening here? I can get the exported audio files to appear in my sequence if I select "File > Import > XML" in Final Cut, but after this whole process Final Cut seems to be functioning unreliably (after closing Final Cut and re-opening, I even once got a similar error that said "Final Cut cannot open files in the Final Cut Pro Project File format", which is obviously crazy).
    Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure your easy setup has the correct frame rate for your sequence.  Seems crazy but somehow or other fcp assigns a frame rate to audio files.   I've found this can sometimes be tricky to get right.  Here's what I've done to force the issue.  Make sure the easy setup frame rate reflects that of the target sequence in fcp.  Create a new project.  import the audio in the new project.  And then copy the clip from the new project to your main project. 
    Good luck

  • I can't get my blade tool to work in Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7

    I can't get my blade tool to work in Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7. I magnify the clip to the highest zoom and when I select the blade tool, I see the icon but when I click on the clip to chop it.....nothing. The blade turns red and nothing happens. Please help.

    If you are in fact in the active project window, try command B at the location of the skimmer and see whether it makes the edit.

  • Why does Compressor take so long to export a 10 minute video clip from Final Cut Pro?

    I've been trying export a 10 minute clip from Final Cut Pro. so it can be used with DVD Studio Pro and burned. However, the rendering process has taken 12 hours! The clip I'm exporting has minimal effects, no music, and is in 1080i 30fps. Does anyone know what's going on or what I can do to speed up the process?

    First: How are you exporting? Are you using the Share feature or  Send to Compressor?
    Second: You haven't said anything about your system configuration or really very much about your movie. What is its format… is it really 30fps or 29.97? Whatever it is, are the project settings identical to the clip properties, or were they changed?

  • How can I open a project made in 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version?

    how can I open a project made in late 2000 on Final Cut Pro to migrate it to a new version to finish editing it? files, timeline and unfinished edit are all stored on hard drive since early 2001, with all the original miniDV tapes still in hand

    Do you still have legacy FCP? If you not you need to find someone who will open the project in FCP6.0.6 or later. Export an XML file of the project. Use 7toX to convert it to an XML format that works with FCPX. Import the converted XML file to FCP.

  • Mpg files put into final cut pro 6 come out blurry in Quicktime export.

    I'm a noob. I'm trying to make a compilation of mpg files. My students created animations in Blender. I want to put a video together to showcase their talents.
    Everything I've tried with FCP 6 and mgs come out blurry.
    Mpg Dimensions are 640 x 480. Codecs: MPEG2 Muxed
    Should I be working in 720x480?
    Thanks

    You can't really use MPEG 2 files in Final Cut Pro -it's not an editing codec.
    A list of compatible codecs can be found in FCP's Easy Setup menu.
    Is MPEG 2 the only export option from Blender? I'm am not familiar with the product.

  • HELP!  How can I view a clip frame by frame in final cut pro?

  • Can I Change duration of a Film Burn in Final Cut Pro X

    Is there a way to change the duration of a Film Burn (.mov) in Final Cut Pro X.  for example I have 10 second film burn (.mov), and I want that film burn to be 30 sec or more any way I can do this? 
    Currently I copy the Film Burn several times on the timelien to make it longer.
    Note: The Film Burn is set at 10 seconds, I CAN NOT DRAG it to make it any longer.  Any Ideas would be great!

    You could drag three instances into a timeline and then create a compound clip that you could use over and over again.

  • Can I import projects from the full version of Final Cut Pro X from when I was using the trial version?

    So I recently purchased the full edition of Final Cut Pro X, and was wondering why one of the projects I was working on at the time it expired imported back into FCP without asking me, but the other did not.  I really need to use this file, but it is in the format of .fcpproject, so I really don't understand why I am not able to use it.  It sometimes says when I try to open it that the version of that project was made in an updated version of FCP, or something to that affect, so it cannot be used.  I have no idea why it says this, because as far as I know that is un-true.  Any ideas?
    Edit:  I also don't want to delete the trial yet, a little apprehensive, like maybe I need it.  But I might if it comes to that.  I suppose the time did run out so it is practically worth nothing...

    You do not open fcpproject files. You don't double click or anything else. The files have to be in the correct folder structure in the Final Cut Projects folder and the application opens them automatically. Can you post screen shots of the Final Cut Projects folder and its location.

  • Can i use windows laptop as a monitor with Final Cut Pro x

    Hi
    I'm new to mac, and so far kicking myself for taking so long to come across.
    As much as I hate my old dell xps 1647 laptop, it grates that this machine is just gathering dust.
    Is there any way to utilise the monitor when using Final Cut Pro X

    you should ask Dell
    can your laptop act as a monitor, does it come with any 'video-IN' option?
    I mostly doubt ...
    Your Mac offers a standard DVI or VGA output, and allows Extended Desktop, to make use of added monitor space.
    I like to put my Events in FCPX onto a 2nd display, connected to my old MacMini2.26 …
