how do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop  flickering?

Question: how do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop  flickering?
Answer: It depends on what is causing the flickering.  It could be due to the pixel dimensions being too large for the Sequence settings in FCP.  It could be due to thin horizontal lines in the image.  It could be due to areas of the image in high contrast with each other.   Or it could be due to a combination of several factors.
If the image is too large, reduce the pixel dimensions to a more reasonable size.
If it's due to thin horizontal lines, deinterlace the image, or slightly blur the lines in Photoshop.
If it's due to areas of high contrrast, reduce the contrast of those areas in Photoshop.
In FCP you can also try applying the Flicker filter to the image in the Timeline and/or a Gaussian blur filter with a setting of around 0.2 or 0.3

  • How do I export a project from Final Cut Pro onto my desktop?

    How do I export a project from Final Cut Pro to my desktop as a movie?

    Can anyone please help me.. when I click on my timeline in my project library and try to export movie nothing happens! and when I  try to "share" to youtube I get an error message stating that it cannot be exported because it contains "no video"... The 4 minute music video that I've created with shots off my Canon T2i looks and plays great....If I uploaded the videos into Final Cut but did not save them on my desktop or anywhere else on the Mac would this be a reason to get this message? I have never experienced this before...the only option under "share" that works is "email"

  • How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help

    How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help!!

    Simply drop the effect onto the appropriate audio track. Set the frequency for the hum frequency (50Hz or 60Hz depending on your power supply). Include whichever harmonics you think might be present eg. 100, 150, 200Hz.
    Note that I have generally had more success by using Soundtrack Pro's noise removal tool.

  • Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image?

    Animation. How do I import still images in final cut pro x (from dragon frame) duration 3 frames pr. image? We have allready tried to set stillimages duration in preferences to 0,08 sek, but it does not have any effect!

    You can drag your images to the timeline, select all, ctrl-d and set the duration to 3 frames by typing 3 and enter.
    Or you can use Quicktime 7 to "open image sequence", select the desired duration, export your animation to quicktime and import that into FCP X for further editing.

  • How to work on TOD files on Final Cut Pro

    Hi,
    I can't figure out how to work on .TOD files on Final Cut Pro. I'm using a JVC Everio HD40 camera. None of the sequence presets work. Is there a plug-in or something else I could try?
    Thanks for any help!

    .TOD is JVCs version of an MPEG 2 file.
    Use Log and Transfer from the File menu and convert to ProRes.

  • How should I move all of my Final Cut Pro files to an external drive?

    My MacBook Pro doesn't have enough space to hold all of my Final Cut Pro X files (my internal hard drive is only 120GB), and I bought an external hard drive that has 120GB capacity too but want to move all of my FCP files to that drive. What exactly should I be moving? Do I move the application itself? And how do I tell FCP where to find all of my media? Sorry if it seems like a stupid question, I'm relatively new to Macs.
    Thanks!

    The application remains in the Applications folder.
    The best way is to copy the projects by duplicating them to the new drive. Do that from inside the application. Duplicate the projects with all referenced events. When all the projects and media have been copied and are working correctly then you can delete them from your internal drive.
    Caution: make sure the media is actually in the events you're duplicating. If not, use the organize events function, or you will lose the media.

  • How do you Chapter Video Podcasts in Final Cut Pro Studio 2

    I am in final cut pro studio 2. I have my video setup like I want. I placed Markers and labeled them as chapters. But when I try to export i just get a chapterless video. How on earth do i get this to work. I tried exporting with Compressor and exporting with Quicktime pro. I just want to make a chaptered video podcast why is it so darn hard to do so? I went hunting everywhere on the net and nothing explains just how to do it in Final Cut Pro. Everything is iMovie this iMovie that .... well sorry, but I don't want to use stinking iMovie.
    Sorry for venting I'm just really aggravated because I have tried four different things hoping it would work but each export which is two hours of wasted time that I fall more behind.

    Hi Patrick,
    My FCP experience is limited - I write software add-ons for it, but I don't edit. I remember this issue coming up before though. QuickTime has the ability to create chapter tracks, but you can't do this from markers in FCP. (I used to do it with the great QuickTime editor in Adobe GoLive.)
    The chapter tracks in .mp4 video are similar but different to the QuickTime chapter tracks, so I assume that the FCP markers won't work. Frustrating!
    Why don't you try out PodcastMaker free for 30 days: http://www.lemonzdream.com/podcastmaker/ This software is very easy to use and (outside of Garageband) is the easiest way to add chapter tracks to a podcast, and even though it's an extra step, it will help you with the podcasting side of the workflow you'll eventually be faced with.

  • How to import unix executable files into Final Cut Pro

    A friend wanted me to create a Halo 3 Montage Video for him. He loaded the saved clips onto a flash drive for me but when I put it into my computer the information comes up as Unix Executable Files and I don't know how to import them into Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 or if it's even possible. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Ok. Well, I plug in the flash drive. When it opens there's a folder that says XBox360. When I click on the folder there are 9 files listed that say Data0000, Data0001 etc. The preview option shows a gray folder that says Exec on it and the only information I can find is that it's a Unix Executable File. When I click on more info option everything that pops up is what I've already told you. I tried opening it in the VLC Player but nothing played which makes me think there aren't video files on the flash drive. When I click on the file to open it the Terminal Program appears and lists basic information about the file.
    Is there a program that can take these files and covert them into something that can run in Final Cut Pro? Or is that what VLC is supposed to do?

  • Are microsoft movie maker files compatible with final cut pro files?

    I would like to know if microsoft movie maker files are compatible with Final Cut Pro?
    Thanks,
    elemir

    depends on how you're outputting. .wmv I don't think so.That's pretty much a dead end format.  mp4 might be, but i'm not sure if movie maker outputs them. .avi might be, depends on the codec used.
    Avoid .wmv, apple products don't play well with that format (never have) and aim for some other output type. Then on your mac, if you don't already have it, if you don't already have it, get the free converter mpegstreamclip and see if it can convert your movie maker output into something final cut will input. DV files are good, as are .mov files.

  • Make Text Fit in Final Cut Pro 7

    In Final Cut Pro 7, is there a way to make text fit properly on your screen without manually hitting enter on each line? I’ll try to explain myself: I frequently use screens with a lot of writing. I write the text in the Controls tab of a text box. If I write a long sentence, the words will run off the screen even if I change the size of the font to a smaller one. I can stop that from happening by hitting enter midway through a sentence; the remainder of the sentence then moves to the line below. Since I’m writing a lot, I have to repeat this process a lot. It is kind of a guess and check procedure because I have to see how the screen looks after I hit enter each time. Can I do something so that Final Cut Pro 7 automatically moves text to the next line (just like it does when I’m typing in Word)?  
    Thank you for your help.

    For best results, don't use FCP's built-in text generators.  Instead, use the Boris Generators which came bundled with FCP.  For static text, use Boris 3D.   You can format the text just about anyway you want.
