How do I swap one clip for another in Final Cut Pro 7?

How do I sway one clip for another in Final Cut Pro 7? I am doing what it says in a book but it is not working. Thanks.

You drag the clip from the browser to the clip on the timeline. Wait till the timeline clip goes white. Drop it and pick from the menu that appears the replace option you want.

    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

  • TS1233 How do I get chapter markers for iDVD from Final Cut Pro X?

    It seems like a tremendous short-coming that Final Cut Pro X doesn't allow for chapter markers that can be used in iDVD or DVD Pro. Surely there is some way to get used-defined markers from Final Cut Pro X or at least re-define the Final Cut Pro X markers in the DVD authoring applications. Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have decided to say that my problem is solved by the work-a-rounds that have been submitted. I STILL don't like the fact tha Apple has decided that DVD's are a thing of the past and therefore (chapter) markers are of no use. That may be true is the publishing world of YouTube, Vimeo, etc. but it certainly NOT true for many of us advanced hobbyists that still like distribution on DVD's to our friends or a more localized (private) community -- especially to those who are not computer literate. If Apple wants to exclude us from their customer base, I suggest that base will become even smaller than their competitors who still have chapter markers in their products. I'll get off my soapbox now. . .

  • Gradual swap one bitmap for another?

    I am trying to swap one bitmap for another over a few
    seconds. I can't get it to work. Is this a motion tween or shape
    tween or what?

    newbie1420,
    > Sorry about the delay, I would like to "morph" one photo
    into
    > another, one fades into the next.
    It sounds like you're using two words to describe the same
    technique --
    but I'm not sure. To me, a morph is when one raster image
    slowly
    metamorphoses into another. If photo A is a dog, and photo B
    is a cat, the
    area that represents the dog's nose literally changes shape
    to become the
    shape of a cat's nose The dog's ears may grow, warp, or
    otherwise distort
    to become the shape of the cat's ears, and so on. Fading
    generally
    describes a dissolve: nothing in either image changes shape;
    it's just that
    one image slowly becomes more transparent, revealing the
    image beneath it.
    > I have made them into movie clip symbols, still not
    getting the right
    > effect...
    If you're after morphing, as described above, you'll find
    that Flash
    doesn't support it. If you're after a dissolve, you can
    achieve the effect
    easily by putting two photos into their own symbols, as
    you've done, and
    each symbol in its own layer, one atop the other. Put two
    keyframes in the
    upper symbol. At the first keyframe, make sure the symbol's
    Alpha property
    is 100. At the second keyframe, make sure the symbol's Alpha
    property is 0.
    Motion tween the span of frames between those two keyframes,
    and you'll have
    your dissolve, aka fade.

  • Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

    Can/ how do I link two or more "projects" - not events or clips - "projects" together in final cut pro 10?

    Thanks Tom -
    I created two "sequences". They are currently listed individually in the "project library". Now I want to take sequence "B" and attatch it in it's entirety to the end of sequence "A" - forming one long sequence.
    I have tried to drag sequence "B" and drop it into "A's" timeline. I have tried to creat a compound clip. I'm either missing something - or - you can create a compound "clip" or a compound "event" - but perhaps you cannot link to "projects" together.
    Does this help descibe my problem?
    Thanks again.

  • When starting Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 I am all of a sudden getting a message that says "One or more of the scratch disks don't have read/ write access" and now the app won't operate - how do I fix this so I can use Final Cut Pro?

    Glad you found the answer.  But something seems wrong.  FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive.  It's not advisable, but it should be possible.  You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

  • How to setup an artist mix (audio mixer) on final cut pro 7?

    how to setup an artist mix (audio mixer) on final cut pro 7?

    Hi Meatpuppet,
    I'm having the same issue with not getting my audio through to the client on Ichat theater preveiew. I'm on a mac pro with a small DV camera attached via firewire. when I start the chat, the person on the other side sees and hears me fine, but then when I start sharing in FCP, the video switches so that the remote person sees the time line, but loses the audio from me and doesn't hear the audio from the time line...
    The manual recommends "disconnecting and external video device" ( then what do us mac pro folks do?)
    So my question for you, and I know that you're on and Apogee Duet, is: Was your tinkering in FCP, your system sound settings, or iChat? in other words, where was the disconnect?
    thanks.

  • What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M camcorder        for use on Final Cut Pro X?

    What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M Camcorder Mts  files for use with Final Cut Pro?

    This camcorder records in several ways, including AVCHD2, mpeg4 iframe, and 3d, at least that seems to be the case from a quick reading of its specs.
    If you get the latest update for fcpx, it will handle video shot in 60P. That is 10.0.4
    Here is what Apple says it supports, and one version of the 900 seems to be supported.
    I think the Apple site is a little behind its own software update, as one advantage of the new update is that it handles 60P.
    Maybe I am missing something, but I wonder what would happen if you get the latest update for fcpx, and try your card again. I did find that fcpx now supports my sony dslr at 60P.
    Here is a thread with one person saying they can now use their 900.

    You can't directly. You can either export a file, or you can save it as a template, effect, title, transition, or generator, that can be used in FCP.

  • How do I import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7. Thanks

    How do I import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7? Thanks.

    Locate the .caf file you want to use in FCP in the Finder.  Normally, iLife sound files will be in Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/(subfolder).
    Open the file on SoundTrack Pro, the go to File->Save a Copy As.  In the Save As window that will open, navigate to where you want to save the file, then near the bottom of that window, use the drop-down File Format menu to choose AIFF.  Set the bit depth to 16-Bit Integer and the Sampling Rate to 48000 hz.
    Import the resulting AIFF file into your FCP project.

  • Which Mac Mini is best for Editing in Final Cut Pro X i5 or i7 ?

    Hey guys plz suggest me a good mac mini machine for editing in Final Cut Pro X. Is there any difference in i5 mac mini or i7 in terms of rendering or editing, and what is the use of an SSD drive in terms of editing in mac mini either than its 5400rpm HD, or should i buy imac i5 with ssd ?
    Lets see if i buy mac mini i5 with 16gb ram and a ssd drive,  Will it work better than mac mini i7 with 16gb ram but without ssd drive ?
    So guys plzz suggest me the best mac specs for video editing
    Thanks in advance

    Your budget?
    Take a look at this: http://www.barefeats.com/minivmp.html
    The 2012 Quad-Core i7 Mac mini is a real contender when it comes to CPU power compared to our examples of a Quad-Core Mac Pro and Quad-Core iMac. We plan to add some other examples of Quad-Core desktop Macs (including a faster Mac mini) to these graphs in the days ahead but the point is made.
    However, the GPU in the 2012 Quad-Core i7 Mac mini is weak in comparison to the Mac Pro (and iMac) as you can see from the "Heaven" graph.
    That's going to affect its ability to handle advanced Pro Apps that make use of the GPU for certain types of effect rendering.
    These apps include Apple's Final Cut Pro and Motion as well as Adobe's Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects.
    The Mac mini's Intel HD 4000 GPU will also hamstring hard-core gamers.
    The Mac mini is also weak in support of OpenCL as you can see from the "LuxMark" graph.
    It is forced to render the model using only CPU while the iMac and Mac Pro GPUs are able to render the model.
    Why does this matter? Because apps like Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Photoshop use OpenCL acceleration for rendering certain effects.
    http://www.barefeats.com/imac12p1.html
    Even a Mac Pro (refurbished special 4-core 2.8 is $1819 and can be upgraded to more RAM, 4x4TB w/o going into Thunderbolt storage) and have multiple SSDs as the choice or need arises.)
    Fusion drive + Thunderbolt but I think you are asking too much out of the mini. It is fine for a lot of uses.

  • How do I export Premier Pro CS6 files for use with Final Cut Pro?

    In my cloud version of CS-6, I am trying to export or convert my finished work and take to my
    co-editor that uses Final Cut Pro. In "export" on my PrP file, I have the option to export as FCP "with notes."
    When I do that, and look at the notes, they basically say "Clip one did not export - Clip two did not..."
    I saw a tutorial on the web where they had the option to convert the file in Encoder from PrP file to FCP, but
    it is not an option on my Encoder in the cloud. When I try to encode the files as .mov, they are tiny, and don't
    look good.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    You can take the project file and the source files to FCP by exporting it as an FCP XML. Other than that you may have to export the whole project as a quicktime mov or any other editable your co-editors use.
