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.

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

    Hi, does anyone out there know how to view a clip in final cut pro frame by frame. I don't really want to use the jogging function as you cannot see each individual frame just all the frames snapped together. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    It is really time to open the manuals, do the tutorials, and learn the basics of how this application works. You'll be amazed at what you learn it can do!

  • 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,

  • How can I export a file that may use in Final Cut Pro?

    Hello friends,
    May I know how to export a file that I can use it Final Cut Pro???

    If you are talking about rendering then just use any production codec that FCP supports. You have access to them all. Use the Render Cue or create a custom preset in the Adobe Media Encoder.
    If you want to do something like dynamic link with FCP, that does not exist. You can save a PPro project as a FCP XML but any PPro effects or PPro settings unique to PPro will not come across. If you turn an After Effects project into a FCP project by going through PPro as was suggested then you will NOT get any of the effects you applied to your composition or any of the animation or anything but the footage In and Out points, opacity, rotation and position because that is all that will be moved into PPro because After Effects plug-ins are not compatible with PPro. If there is a dynamic link to an AE project in your PPro project that will not move to FCP at all. You'll get nothing.
    So the long and short of it is if you want the work that you have done in AE to show up in FCP you must render the project. I use ProRez 444 10 bit for any work I do on FCP. You can make a custom Output Module preset to help speed up the workflow.
    If you are new to AE please read this on rendering: After Effects Help | Basics of rendering and exporting
    If you are really new please go through these three tutorials: Basic Workflow

    Hi:
    If you own the material rights, you can use MPEG Streamclip to reencode to an editable format like DV.
    Hope that helps !

  • How can I create transparent animated  text with Motion and Final Cut Pro?

    Hi all,
    I am trying to replicate an effect that a previous video editor did in a project, but I can't contact them.
    They made animated text in Live Type, and saved it as a QT movie. When this text is placed over existing video in the FCP project, the text is "transparent", basically it acts like text created in FCP (You can see the background image behind the text, like through the middle of the letter "o").
    I have made some animated text in Motion, but when I save it as a QT movie, and bring it into FCP, the whole 1280x720 screen is covered by this movie, and I have to crop it so it does not cover the background image. It is all black except for the text. And of course the text is not on a transparent layer. Any ideas how I can create this effect with animated text? I've tried messing with transparency and overlay settings, nothing seems to work.
    Running latest version of Final Cut Studio...
    Thanks
    Dave

    Just bring the Motion (.motn) project into FCP and lay it over your clip.
    The QT you're exporting has to carry the alpha channel (animation codec, million+ colors), but don't waste your time/disk space with that. Just bring the motion project into FCP.

  • How can I create a Time Lapse from clips in FInal Cut Pro?

    Currently have 3hrs of footage from an event....wondering how I can create a time lapse of it all in FCP. I want to make it shortened down to around 4mins if possible. How is this created?

    Try exporting a reference quicktime of your sequence and reimporting it into your project. Drop it in a sequence. Use the Time remap tool (click and hold in the select edit points tool until you see the icon that looks like a clock and choose it). Click and drag the end of your clip until it's at the 4 min mark.
    Andy
    PS: This is for FCP 7. Earlier versions of FCP require use of the speed dialog (CMD+J) or Time Remapping in the Motion Tab of the viewer.

  • How can I open other projects?

    I want to open projects, which ı download in planetsourcecode.com in netbeans or in Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1.
    The problem is that open dialog of JSE or netbeans looks for a directory. And if I try to open the directory which I have downloaded, it doesnt open the project. I tried to do same with my project (made in netbeans) and there was a small sign bottom of the directory icon. And it opened project succesfully. How can I open other projects?

    Probably best to firstly copy the media folder - you could Option/drag it to the desktop. Then open a new project and go File/Import that desktop folder.
    Let us know if that works out for you.

  • 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.

  • FCP crashes on open but, OK if I trash the Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs.fcset

    If I trash this FCP preference file: Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs.fcset
    FCP opens everytime.
    If I dont trash the old file, it crashes everytime.
    So, Now, I have to recreate all my Favorite Affect filters and transitions all over?
    I never had this problem until after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
    I was able to fool it for a while by removing, reopening project, closing project and pasting my old Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs.fcset back in.
    Now that wont work.
    I really didnt want to have to recreate it all.

    Now even after using a recreated FCP Preference file, FCP is still Crashing.

  • How to publish Motion 5 templates with another editor's Final Cut Pro x

    How to publish Motion 5 templates with another editor's Final Cut Pro x

    That's also simpel,
    Let the Motion 5 designer deliver the map that he made. For example he made a title effect with the title "We Are Awesome Company Title" than you get that map after the head "Effects" map. So he must send that map with all the stuff in it to an editor and the editor place that map in Motion Templates -> Effects.
    Restart Final Cut Pro X and there you go.
