How can I set FCPX to import my footage as Pro Res 422?

I am having difficulty getting nice clean chroma keys due to the fact that all my footage is being imported with the H.264 codecs.  I have the project properties to render as Pro Res 422, but that as I understand it, will only change my footage for the final output. 
I tried to find a place in the Properties->Import to see if I can tell FCPX 10.0.8 to import the footage at a higher quality so that the keyeing effect creates better masks.  Where can I set FCPX to import my footage as ProRes 422?
I would greatly appreciate anyone's input as I have been trying to figure it out and am at a complete loss at this point.
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
~Heather
PS:
Here is where it says my footage is H.264 - where can I change this?

I do always check the optimize media box, but still have a hard time smoothing out jagged edges on greenscreen footage.  I assumed it was because the keyer was being applied to H.264 footage instead of ProRes 422 footage. 
Which codecs is the effect being applied to if I drag it onto the clip in my timeline?  I am doing playback with optimized media if that makes a difference. It is quite possible I confused myself.
Thanks for your help, Tom!

    Why is the folder strukture based on the import date, and not on the Creation date? How can i setting this?

    What folder structure?
    If you're referring to how Aperture stores the originals in a managed library then the answer is you can't change it.
    If having the originals stored in a specific file structure is important to you you will need to switch to a referenced original setup.

  • E-mail synch, read/unread, how can I set this up?

    I'd like to refer to an older question I found which hadn't been answered properly.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3557308?start=0&tstart=0
    Quite simply, the question is;
    I have my work e-mail, my Hotmail and my Gmail all set-up on my iPhone 4S and my iPad 1st gen.
    When I read an e-mail on the computer via browser or outlook, I would like for this e-mail to appear as READ on my devices as well.
    Vise versa for when I read it on the iPad/Phone and I want that e-mail to show as read on Outlook and browser.
    Because this doesn't happen automatically, the Mail icon on my home screen is constantly showing over 1K e-mails, when in reality I may have like 10 on each e-mail account.
    How can I set this up?
    Is it possible for my to set this up for deleting e-mails also?
    I know I can do that on Gmail, delete from server blah blah, but how about when I delete e-mail from Outlook...I want them to be off my phone also.
    It's a business e-mail, and I get like over 50 read/received notifications that spam my inbox.
    Thank you for taking the time to read and for any advice you may have.

    Please go to
    1.Setting
    2. mail,contacts and calenders
    3. add accounts
    4. insert your email account and password
    5. Autometically imports your mails if you open mail folder on the desktop..
    That is it.

  • How can I set up a back up hard drive on airport extreme

    I have an external harddrive that was plugged into my airport extreme. Apple seemed to eliminate my abilty to back up wirelessly in one of the updates. How can I set this up again? Does anyone know a way around this?
    Thanks,

    Ah, I remember those links now.  I was thinking something along the lines of:
    Never consider any computer a data storage device, rather a data creation ,sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake.
    Never backup your data exclusively upon magnetic hard drives or flash storage, nor consider same since magnetic storage degrades over time even under ideal conditions.
    Store important data on multiple servers on multiple continents. 
    Burn important data onto multiple copies of archival DVDs and store same in cool dark fireproof safes, multiple places.
    Don’t burn data onto junk DVD’s purchased from consumer level electronics stores. These are not archival long life DVD’s nor reliable, nor trustworthy. Archival DVD blanks such as Taiyo Yuden, rated for 100+ years are what the pros use, these are made by JVC and are professional grade DVD blanks.
    Most people have never heard of archival DVDs, however their cost is only 30% more than junk-level DVD blanks which are only rated for 5-10 years. Also the reject rate on the inferior DVD is around 15%, the cost is almost identical between the WORST DVD blanks and the BEST DVD blanks.
    Most importantly know that 2 copies of your data is 1, and 1 is none, and 1000 copies stored in one place or building, is also the same as none due to possible fire.
    Always consider and expect your computer’s hard drive to completely crash anytime, at all times, and you should keep a cloned and updated hard drive handy at all times to return to immediate productivity and utterly avoid programs and parameter reinstallation.  Nothing is quicker than taking out a dead HD and tossing in a new updated cloned HD for getting back to 100% in under 20 mins!
    Decentralized Omnipresent Data (D.O.D.)
    (something I coined an age ago)
    Backing up data to:
    Multiple HD in multiple locations
    On multiple servers on multiple continents, private and public websites, anonymous data farms. (very easy actually)
    Burned onto archival optical and magnetic storage
    Have unclassified data possessed by multiple people in multiples places.
    When your data becomes both everywhere and nowhere, accessible to all, destructible by none, cannot be collected together or permanently retrieved under any circumstances, you have Decentralized Omnipresent Data (D.O.D.) protection rivaling that of large governments.

  • How can I set the order of search engines on my Macbook?

    When I use "Manage Search Engines" to rearrange the order of my search engines, the order changes temporarily, only to revert to the order the search engine add-ons were installed, the next time Firefox is restarted. How can I set the hierarchy of search engines to suit my preference, and have it stay that way?

    It may be your preferences problem.
    Try to Reset your firefox and try it newly
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How can I set which projects use Proxy Media and not just change every project?

    Hi there
    I can see how to change ALL projects to use Proxy Media or Original/Optimised Media
    in
    Preferences>Playback
    But I'm switching between projects a lot and I only want to use Proxy Media on one project, so how can I tell FCPX to only use Proxy Media on that ONE project?
    Thanks

    Perhaps if apple didn't take back prores LT this wouldn't be as much of an issue.
    Pores LT was a great compromise between file size and quality. It produced a fine image for most peoples needs and was 30% smaller.
    Hopefully it will be returned soon. I can't imagine why it's not already there. Unless they want to charge for it, ... again..
    Have you tried capturing as full res, then change prefs back to proxy, open a new project and import the full res files?
    In FCP7 the render pref was separate from the capture pref. is that gone too?
    If my idea doesn't work, Surely someone will chime in with a creative work around to this.
    And hopefully it'll get fixed soon in an update.

  • How can I set jbo.sql92.LockTrailer system property in BC4J?

    We are using BC4J in 'SQL92' SQLBuilder mode and using MySQL database. row.lock() is not really locking the row. It seems, we need to set jbo.sql92.LockTrailer to correct value so that it will issue correct SQL statement for locking the row. How can I set this system property?

    Apparently this has something to do with the content of the TextObject. I added a new TextObject called "TestText" and put "this is test text" into it. I am able to set the value on that TextObject with no issues. But if the TextObject contains any formulas (Text4 in the sample below) the set throws an error, even if I try to set the Text to "" .
    foreach (ReportObject ro in letter.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects)
                        if (ro.Name == "TestText" || ro.Name == "Text4")
                            TextObject textObj = (ro as TextObject);
                            string oldText = textObj.Text;
                           // string oldText = "";
                            textObj.Text = oldText ;

    trying to create an Aperture book and have sorted 900 photos in manual order...the book application resorts my photos and i have to search 900 photos each time to place a photo. how can i set the sorting to stay in my manual setup?

    1.  If you manually sort Images in a Project, and then create a new Book w. "Include selected Images" checked, your manual sort order will be preserved.
    2.  As a workaround for when you have already created a Book, batch rename your Images with a leading index or counter after setting the order manually.  You'll have to create a Naming Preset, e.g.: "{Index}_{Version Name}".  The renaming should go in the order that you selected the Images, so be sure to select the first one first, and then use "Edit→Select all" to extend the selection to all Images.  Once the Images are in your Book, a sort on Version Name should be the same as the manual sort you created.
    3.  At the risk of stating the obvious, you could create the Book, import the Images, and then sort them.  The Book -- it is, to Aperture, just a special kind of Album -- retains its own manual sort order.  I recommend using Albums this way.  Use Projects to cull and develop Images, and use Albums for output.  Sorting for a Book (or any output) is better done in the container devoted to that output (and not in the Project, which is more general).

  • If I imported proxy media to edit in fcpx, can I export a hight resolution (apple pro res 422 (hq)) version of the project ?

    If I imported proxy media to edit in fcpx, can I export a hight resolution (apple pro res 422 (hq)) version of the project ?

    OK, let me re-answer here.  You HAVE to have either original or optimized media, you can not have Proxy only media, when using FCPX's inport options.  You will switch between which FCPX is using; in 10.1 via the Canvas menu option called "Media", or in 10.0.9 and earily via the Preference's "Playback" settings.
    When set to Proxy, FCPX only references that medai, which is 1/4 resolution, and not full quality.  When set to Original Or Optimized, you'll get full resolution output, as FCPX is not referencing those files.
    The only way to have Proxy only media is to convert it in Compressor and then import that.  And that would just be a huge mistake.
