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,
Pol

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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 Direct Import .AVI file in to Final Cut Pro 6

    How can i Direct import .AVI Files in to Final Cut Pro 6..
    Please Tell me Any kind of plugin or application or codec.....
    thankyou very much

    The AVI file extension merely indicates that the video contained inside could be from any number of codecs; like a QuickTime .mov, .avi is just a wrapper. Saying you have an AVI file is much like saying you have a car ... it doesn't really tell us anything specific. You need to find out what codec it actually is, then you'll know whether or not it can be imported into FCP without conversion.
    But you'd be better off converting it to a QuickTime codec that FCP works with natively prior to importing.

  • 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.
