How can I add a folder of MP3s to Final Cut so they show up in the media browser?

I have a collection of royalty free audio clips in MP3 format. I would like to get them to show up in the media browser, so I don't have to go to the finder each time to get them into a project. Any idea how to do this?

If you want them in the Music and Sound media browser specifically, rather than in your Event Library, then you could easily just add them to your system's iTunes library, then access them via FCP X:

Or if you want to avoid adding / organizing them in your iTunes library then you can just drag and drop your already organized MP3 folder directly into the Sound and Music media browser pane inside FCP X and the app will add that folder to the browser inside a new "Folders" category.

  • How can I add support for JPEG 2000 to Final Cut Express?

    How can I add support for JPEG 2000 to Final Cut Express 4? I need to export an .mov file in the JPEG2000 format but it is not available as a quicktime export option. Is this something that I can add via a quicktime .component? Would appreciate any insight anyone might have... Thank you.

    I believe you need to purchase the QuickTime Pro key ($29.99 USD).  Once you enter the registration number in System Preferences for QuickTime Player 7, it 'unlocks' several export features, including JPEG2000.

  • How can I add a folder of music to my library?

    How can I add a folder of music to my library?

    I am mystified as to what drag and drop folder into iTunes 11 means.  My music is in a folder in "My Documents"/Windows 7. I can copy and paste the individual folders of music within the back up folder, and drop them into the music folder in iTunes.  But, this is ridiculous.  It was easy and promoted user enjoyment to have the ability to add folders from wherever on your computer, into the iTunes library. Why did Apple reduce the users enjoyment, by flubbing up a pretty good music file system?
    Work around?

  • How do I add an attachment to an email and not have it show up in the body of the email?

    How do I add an attachment to an email and not have it show up in the body of the email? 

    You can right click or command-click on the image in the email and select "view as icon".
    You can change the default behavior of Mail.app so that it always shows the attachment as the icon:
    open a Terminal window (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
    at the prompt, type in this (it must be exact, or copy and paste it in if you have trouble typing things precisely):
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    Then hit return.
    To revert to the previous default (where the attachment is visible in-line), you just enter the same command with "no" instead of "yes" at the end.
    In either case, however, how the viewer of the email sees the attachment (either as an icon or in-line) depends on how their email client is set up, not on how you send it.

  • I updated to yosemite os and was in the middle of a project with final cut pro 10.  Now it says final cut pro is incompatible.  How can I access my project and/or update final cut?

    I updated to yosemite os and was in the middle of a project with final cut pro 10.  Now it says final cut pro is incompatible.  How can I access my project and/or update final cut?

    There is this offer of a trial version FC Pro X with 30 day runtime:
    http://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/trial/
    Too bad you didn't have a complete backup that could run the previous OS X
    and then you could resume using an earlier Final Cut Pro (10) or (7) since a
    clone would have been a means toward that position.
    http://www.apple.com/support/finalcutpro/
    http://www.apple.com/support/pro-apps/
    This appears to be another good reason to check out all the reasons why one
    would want or need to upgrade a working OS X version, since these kinds of
    events are known to happen as a direct result.
    Sorry to not have an answer to this, other than try & use the Trial version...
    Or see if someone at Apple sales/support can field your issue w/ an answer.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I moved a iMovie video from a macPro to an IMac. In iMovie the option to export the video to media browser is greyed out, but the video is not listed on iDVD media. How can I get iDVD to find it or find a way to re-export it to media browser?

    I moved an iMovie from a MacPro to an iMac. In the iMovie share option Media browser is greyed out (It was previously shared to the Media b
    rowser on the MacPro). The video is not listed in the iDVD media list. How do I get it listed in iDVD or find a way to re-export it?

    Did you transfer a Quicktime movie files from the Mac Pro to your iMac?  If so make sure the video plays correctly in Quicktime Player.  If it does you can put it in your Movies folder and from there drag it into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.  It doesn't have to come from iMovie. You can just drag and drop into iDVD.

  • How can I add new music to my iPhone from a new device without losing all the existing music?

    Hello! My personal laptob that I usually use to sync my iPhone to is broke at the moment so, I've been syncing to my work computer. I have some music, not downloaded from iTunes, on the new computer that I'd like to add to my iPhone but I can't see how without iTunes deleting all my existing playlists and music from my iPhone. I can click the menu arrow on a song and then select "Add to" from the pop-up menu, then choose from "Devices" - Nathan Swain's iPhone - and it lets me, but nothing ever get's added to my iPhone. I have also authorized this computer on my iTunes account. I'm stumped!

    By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Each time you switch computers, ALL iTunes content is first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the new computer.
    No way around this fact, other than transferring your content to the computer you normally sync with.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @EIDAP 
    I saw your post about how your Officejet 6830 will not print from a Macbook, and I want to try to help you!
    Please check this link and ensure all of the steps have been completed to install the printer on the Mac, and afterwards try a test print from Text Edit, and also a scan from the HP scan software and let me know if that worked.

  • How can I add a trusted site in Safari to access our secure Sharepoint site from the internet?

    My company has a secure sharepoint site that we access from the internet that requires our Active Directory logon. The Safari on the iPad does not allow you to add the URL as a trusted site and thus it prompts you for your username and password multiple times when navigating to various content.  The solution for full blown browsers is to just add the URL as a trusted site in your browser security settings.  Is there a work around for this or will Apple perhaps add this capability to add trusted sites to the mobile version of Safari?

    Non-Windows browsers do not have a concept of a "trusted" site. In Windows, IE and Chrome do not repeatedly prompt for credentials because they use the user's login credentials on the desktop. Other devices do not have this capability. Instead,
    you need to use something like ADFS to authenticate users.

  • How can I add the lyrics for songs in MP3 format in iTunes for Windows? There is even no the 'Lyrics' tab in the 'Get Info'.

    This topic may be old for you, but I searched everywhere on internet and there's still no solution. I even called the Apple Support and the contact support is taking so long to answer... I can't add the lyrics for songs in MP3 format in my iTunes 11.1.3 for my Windows 8.1, I clicked right at the song in my iTunes library, clicked 'Get Info', and there's no 'Lyrics' tab there. I tried several lyrics-adder programs but they just won't work. How can I add lyrics for my MP3 songs then?

    You may find that the file is Read-only, which means that it cannot be altered.
    However, you can change the Read-only in "Properties" using your file manager.
    1. The location (for the next step) of a song is found by looking n the Get Info/Summary>Where: of each song. Make a note of the location.
    2. Go to the location (on your computer) of the song, right-click it and the last item on the pop-up menu is Properties. Go into Properties/General>Atributes and turn off the tick in the box named Read-only. Now go back to your iTunes Library and try that song again. The Lyrics tab should now be there.
