How can I change the folder where the Final Cut Pro X files?
I've tried dragging it to the new destination, but the program doesn't seem to recognize the moving process and lost the thumbnails and the reference to the files. Is there any other way?
Tom,
Thank you for your fast answer.
Not copying folders... well I did not copy folders, I copied 4 entire drives of 4 Tb. I don't imagine moving events and projects one by one with FCPX tools. Unless it is the only way but that will take me 4 days.
Here is a screenshot of the root level of the Pegasus.
No, i do not copy the media files in the event folders.
Yes the Pegasus drive appears in FCP. I use it for actual new project with the media in specific folders for each project. Everything works fine.
Playback is set to original media.

How can I automate log and capture in Final Cut Pro
Does anyone know of a way to schedule the log and capture of video in Final Cut Pro with a script or software application, so that it doesn't have to be done manually?
I am using a capture card in my Mac to record college lectures for our department and it's not always possible for me to be there to start the capture. Our lectures occur on a regular schedule.
I am a new Mac user and I'm also new to Final Cut Studio 2. Thanks for any help on this topic!In Automator, all the apps you can automate are listed in the far left hand pane. Click on the QT Player icon there to see the "Actions" available for it. In that list you should see "New Video Capture" and "Start Capture". First drag "New Video Capture" to the big pane on the right, where you assemble your workflow. Then drag the "Start Capture" action beneath that. You're basically done.
How to Save and Schedule this can be found in the Automator Help, when you search on "iCal":
1. Choose File menu > Save As Plug-in.
2. Choose iCal from the "Plug-in for" pop-up menu.
3. Click Save. Automator opens iCal and creates an event that calls the workflow at the scheduled time.
4. Name your event and set the date and time for the workflow to run using the pop-up menus in the info drawer.
You'll need to do another "workflow" to Stop the recording. All you need is the "Stop Record" action in the workflow - then save the same way as listed above.
Just note - I've used this process before and the QT movie generated, despite being recorded as "Camera Native" - was not editable in FCP. In fact, I don't even think I could import the final QT into FCP - let alone edit it. If editing's necessary maybe someone else can offer up another step to enable it. It was not necessary for my exact application, so I never explored it.
Good luck. -
How can I get MPEG-2 video into Final Cut Pro X?
Hello! I have several MPEG-2 video files on which I need to perform some edits. When I tried to import them into Final Cut Pro, I learned that Final Cut Pro can't import MPEG files. Okay, so I went into QuickTime and exported one as 720p. 20 minutes later, I had a video that I could load in FCP. Awesome. Except that when I watched the video, the audio was waaaaaaaay out of sync. So, is there a different way I could get this MPEG-2 video into a format that FCP will like while keeping video and audio together?
I would keep trying a few different things without direction, but these videos are like 90 minutes long and the conversion process is lengthy.
Thanks!Although I looked up the equipment, I couldn't find what kind of MPEG2. I'm assuming program stream.
I don't know why you had the sync problem with QT. You could bring it into FCP and detach the audio and manually line it up it's off by a constant amount.
Or you can use MEG Streamclip. You will also need the playback component, which is $20. Follow the instructions on the Squared 5 site to install it. Streamclip is worth having even if you don't use it this time around.
Good luck.

How Can I do an export that from Final Cut Pro 7 that is specific to these settings?
Hi
I am current trying to export out a movie from Final Cut Pro 7 but the settings that are required are very specific and I was going to try it through compressor as well but I wasn't sure if that would work either.
Here are the settings:
HD:
1 Video CODEC XDCAMHD50
2 Wrapper format QuickTime Self-Contained
3 Bit rate 50 Mbit/s Constant Bit Rate (CBR)
4 GOP Long GOP
Closed GOP
5 Time code Must include embedded time code. Start-timecode: 10:00:00:00
6 Movie version UK Home Video Version
7 Delivery time As per contract. Supplier to specify filename, delivery format and estimated time of arrival via email at least 60 days before transmission unless otherwise specified in contract. This should be accompanied by an IMDB link.
1 HD video format 720 line progressively scanned (720p) @ 50Hz (25 FPS)
1080 line interlace scanned (1080i) @ 50Hz (25 FPS)
2 Resolution 1280 x 720
1920 x 1080
3 Aspect ratio Content should be 16:9, however 4:3 will be accepted on exception (such as for older movies shot in 4:3)
4 Graphics Must be within 16:9 safe graphics area (EBU R95-2000)
5 Chroma format 4:2:2
1 HD audio format 24 bits/sample 48 kHz sampling rate
2 Track layout Track 1 – 2.0 Stereo L mono
Track 2 – 2.0 Stereo R mono
Track 3 – L
Track 4 – R
Track 5 – C
Track 6 - Low frequency effects LFE
Track 7 – L Surround
Track 8 – R SurroundFirst of all, what are your sequence settings? Looks like they want stereo AND dolby 5.1 audio tracks embedded in the quicktime (I've delivered a few films like this). Do you have a surround sound mix?
You will almost always have more options and control in compressor over fcp so that's the way I'd go, but not sure compressor will give you the ability to match these specs.
Do you understand about safe zones for graphics? If not, post back.
I don't see any option to set the GOP in xdcam in compressor. This may be built in to the xdcam format.
I don't see any option for 720 xdcam hd in compressor.
There are many other tools available for this kind of work, but they may be out of your price range. You might want to just find a facility with experience in deliverying this sort of thing. -
How can I make sucesfuly a DVD on Final Cut Pro
Hi I wonder wo can help with this problem
If you have finished a project export it as a quicktime movie...the higher the quality of this movie, the better will be the quality of the DVD you get. I have found out that the codec Pro Ress 4444 gives a high quality of DVD than a movie with a Pro Ress 422 {HQ} codec.
After you have your exported movie, right click upon the file and click the option burn to disc...see the screenshots given below:
Happy burning!

All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"? My Lightroom release is 5.7.1.
Thanking you in anticipation!I'd like to get all these '-1 suffix' files together with their associated Develop adjustments into one folder (if they aren't already) so I can see them in Grid view in the Library module, which I use as my basic starting point for everything else at this early stage of my Lightroom 'career'.
To see what folder these are stored in, right-click on a photo and select "Go to Folder in Library".
Advice: if you are going to use Lightroom effectively, you probably want to stop using folders as your method to create a grouping of photos that are already in Lightroom; there are plenty of built-in tools, such as keywords, collections, color labels, etc.
I don't understand why the search on the entire catalog picked up apparently the same two file versions but also got the Develop adjustments when going to the relevant Folder didn't show the adjustment black squares against each image in Grid view nor were they there when the images were opened in the Develop module. Perhaps if I understood this, I'd be a bit more confident of moving forward myself.
These are most likely different versions of the same photo, in different folders. Lightroom stores the edits in its own catalog, and so it knows that one folder's photos have edits, and the other folder's photos do not have edits. Please understand that Lightroom is a database, it knows where the photos are at the time you import them (or add them to the catalog by synchronize), and then if you move things around in your operating system, Lightroom does not know anything about that and problems begin. Thus the advice to organize using Lightroom tools and methods and not operating system tools and methods. -
How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies
How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection? I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.
pshultzIt's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?
How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?
Page Setup, including page orientation, is done in the File menu. The setting applies to the whole document. As Peter says, you can rotate the contents of a page (not including the text layer of a word processing document).
As an alternative, you could use Numbers, where Sheets are empty canvases onto which you may place images, charts, tables and text boxes, and where page orientation may be set for individual Sheets. The main tradeoff is that you lose many of the built-in word processing and page layout features of Pages.

I signed up for my apple account while living in Canada, and now I lives in the US. I am looking for a specific app that apparently is only available through the US app store. How can I change my account to the US Apple Store?
As long as you have a form of payment (credit or debit card) with a USA source, and with a billing address in the USA, then you just need to change your payment information on your account to that, change your country in the store settings, and you will then be able to shop in the USA store.
Your AppleID will work in any country's store, as long as your payment source and billing addres are also specific to that country (and you are in that country as well, as there may be IP filters in place to stop use outside of the country). -

I'd already used this standard tool (exhaustively!), but for the problem encountered it operated in Catch 22 mode - you had to do two things but neither order was permitted. I did find an answer eventually, but am not sure what it was I did that solved it! Thanks, anyway.

When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page.
