How can I go from 16x9 to 4x3 in Final Cut Pro X?

I have cropperd my clip to a correct size but I still have the black side bars in the viewer even though I have changed the resolution from the properties to 1280x1080. So how can I get rid of the black boxes in the end result?

Only standard definition is 4:3. There is no 4:3 in HD. What is media?

  • HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

    When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

    Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
    If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
    If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
    Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
    If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
    Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

  • HT204382 how to convert movies from flip for use in final cut pro

    How do you convert movies from a Flip video camera for use in final cut pro?

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
    in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    VisualHub (23.32$)
    Drop2DV (free)
    Cinematize >60$
    Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

  • How do I get from an HD sequence in Final Cut Pro to a regular DVD?

    Hi,
    I'm finishing my first HD project, and I'm trying to get it onto a normal DVD, and I can't figure out how I should export it out of Final Cut and what settings I should use in DVD studio pro. I need the dvd to play on normal, couple year old dvd players.
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    You should export a master file from FCP using Current Settings (same as your Timeline) as a Self Contained or Reference movie -Self Contained is preferable as it creates a file that is independent of the source footage and render files.
    Bring that into Compressor and choose one of the time based DVD settings that the duration of your movie will fit into. Import the resulting MPEG2 video and AC3 audio files into DVD SP.

  • How can i get a tv show clip into final cut pro x?

    say i download a tvshow clip from itunes, can i get that episode in FCP X?

    Since you own the copyright, then you (or whoever works for you) must have a copy of the original master. Just use that. It's going to be much better quality than the compressed version you uploaded to iTunes.

  • How can I change the duration of stills on Final Cut Pro X?

    Hello everyone.
    I need to change the duration of stills and I'm having a hard time doing that. I'm not interested in changing the default setting. The stills need different times, so I need to be able to manually alter the duration of each clip. Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thank you!

  • I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.

    Like the title says...
    I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.
    I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut.  I have had no luck.
    I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
    I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible.  I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
    However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
    Thank You for the Help

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • 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!

  • Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version

    Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version which I have now downloaded.

    The trial version is named "Final Cut Pro Trial" and the App Store version is called "Final Cut Pro".
    So, they can both be in the Applications folder at the same time, but only one can be open/launched at a time.
    If, for some reason, your trial is older (like version 10.0.4) that your newly purchased FCPX (should be 10.0.5), and you do not click Update to your events/Projects, they will NOT show in the bought version!
    Open the licensed FCPX and make sure it does update your things, in case it asks for it!

  • 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.

    Open Motion, look for lightningin the generators. From there, it's a question of figuring out how it works and what you need to do to make it work for your sequence. That's about as free as it gets and it will ony be as good--even if someone else did the work for you--as the amount of time you're willing to invest.

  • Transfer from trial to purchased version final cut pro

    aloha!
    i got the final cut pro trial version... and started some projects in there.
    now i purchased final cut pro.
    how do i get my projects and clips to final cut pro purchased version?
    help!

    Hi Kristinkshui,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  I’m happy to hear that you liked the Final Cut Pro X software enough to purchase the full version.   You will be amazed at all of the things you can do with this creative software!
    The full Final Cut Pro X application will recognize the Libraries (and the projects and clips contained in them) that you created with the Trial Version.  By default, these libraries are in the Movies folder in your User Account on your Mac, unless you chose an external hard drive to store this data.  So, all you should have to do is launch the new Final Cut Pro X application and you should be able to pick up exactly where you left off.   Once everything is working with your purchased software, quit Final Cut Pro X, and delete the FCPX Trial by dragging it from the Applications folder to the Trash.
    The video below will provide a quick overview of what Final Cut Pro X can do:

    I'm also including the Online Help Manual for Final Cut Pro X for your reference below:
