How do you import a DVD into FCP

Hi Brain Trust,
Have DVD of old footage and want to import to reedit and save to harddrive. Whats the steps to take.

Most of the folks I know have MPEG Streamclip and use it for a variety of purposes – including ripping non-propected DVD's. There are certainly a whole host of convertor prodicts– but many people report conflict problems, quality problems, or format limitations. One product that you might check out is DVDxDV. I haven't used it, but there is a trial version.
Good luck.

How do I import a DVD into FCP to edit?

I have a DVD I made of home movies. When I try to import the stuff on the DVD it says error. It only imports the Video TS portion of the DVD..SO........that means the video shows up on my time time but NO AUDIO?!
How do I import the video AND audio from the DVD?
Can you help?

Have you tried it and gotten no audio? Audio and video are both in Video_TS. The audio folder is for songs such as on a CD.
Use MPEG Streamclip to translate to your desired format.

How do i import a dvd into fcp

is this even possible??? i need to know ASAP.
i am making a pretty sweet movie, and i want to use some clips from star wars in my project.
also, i downloaded a kick *** track by nickleback and want to put that over the scene where the ewoks dance. but for some reason it won't let me import the song i got off itunes into final cut. how do i get around that.
hurry.

Yes, it surely is possible to import DVD-content in FCP, albeit not directly. This question has been asked more than once over the last few days here. I'd suggest you dig a bit further instead of writing 'hurry' - unless that's your name.

You don't. And the subject is off topic. Read section 2.8.2 of the ASC terms of use before considering if you need to ask for clarification.

How Do you import C100 footage into Premiere Pro CC

I just tried importing Canon C100 footage into Premiere Pro CC, but get no sound. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I pray I don't have to convert this footage before bringing it in. Is there a workflow anyone can recommend? Do I have to convert the footage first? Thanks, Lucian

Lucian,
PrPro should work natively with the Canon C100 footage ... it works with almost everything out there. And with the C100 shooting MP-4, AVCHD, & H.264, those are all handled easily by PrPro.
My question ... I would surmise (from what little info you include) you are shooting AVCHD? The reason I say this is that format splits audio & video into different files ... so it's a bit trickier to "import" than others that have the a & v in one file. Make sure you copied the whole top-leveL FOLDER and all sub-folders (not just the footage or contents of a folder) from the cam/card into the computer for AVCHD ... and then when you import into a project via the media browser your audio & video should be all connected by PrPro.
There have been numerous threads here where AVCHD users have "lost" their audio, only to find they'd simply left it behind by NOT copying all the folders & subfolders their camera had created.

How do I import AVCHD videos into FCP X?

Hi everyone,
I'm running FCP X on a Macbook Pro (2.3 GHz Intel i5, 4GB RAM), and I am filming with a Sony Handycam AVCHD camera. I've tried simply importing AVCHD footage from the Handycam using the camera import setting in FCP, and sometimes it will recognize the camera, but usually it will not. I've also tried importing the footage in iMovie, but I have the same issue. After I realized that FCP does not communicate well with the camera, I purchased a third party converter called 4Media MP4 converter. Sometimes this solves the issue and the video will convert to MP4, which I can then edit in FCP. But most of the time the footage gets converted into slow motion video with regular speed audio. I've also tried Aunsoft Final Mate for Mac, but the quality from that sucked even worse!
Does anyone know how to make this work? Am I doomed to be unable to use an AVCHD camera with my Mac? Are there any better third party converters?

In FCP 7 I'd normally use the Log and Transfer function to convert the AVCHD files to ProRes. However with FCP X you can use the Import from Camera... command in the File menu or the button shortcut for the same function.
This can be done by connecting the camera, or putting the memory card from the camera into a card reader, and then, from within the Imprt from Camera dialogue, selecting Open Archive and select the camera, card or in my case the backup I've made of the card.
I regularly back up my AVCHD files to hard disk, or BluRay data disk, so I can reuse my SD cards but an important thing to remember when doing this is that you need to copy the whole directory structure of the memory card to a new folder on the hard drive. Simply selecting the .mts files won't work as the 'Import From Camera' function needs to see the whole directory structure to interpret the what files are there etc. I create a new folder and then copy all the folders and files on my card into that folder on my hard drive. When selecting Import from Camera/Open Archive I then choose the folder, not the files inside it. Once this is done the video files are presented and I can audition them and choose to import all of them or select the files I want.
None of these methods require the files to be transcoded prior to import. You can choose the transcoding method during import so that either high quality ProRes files are created or Proxy files, smaller and lower quality for editing.

How do you import .WAV files into Presonus studio one pro on a Mac Mini

I am new to this type of forum and I don't know how to ask a good question but here goes. I have a Mac Mini and I am getting very frustrated with my presonus DAW software. I was able to import .WAV files int o my PC Real easy but I don't seem to be able to find out how to do it with my Mac Mini. I clicked on import files and the files would magically transfer themselves into my DAW on my PC, but with the mac it doesn't want to do it the same way. I E-mailed the software company but they told me to do lit just like I have been importing with my PC but it doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I might also mention that this is my first Mac and I am not too familiar with the operating system yet, and besides all that I am fairly new to computer recording. Please help I am going nuts.
Thanks Abel

Convert the DVD's VOB files into a format that works natively in FCE. For DVD footage (which is SD), use MPEG Streamclip to do the converting. Here's a tutorial on using MPEG Streamclip: http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=739
MPEG Streamclip is freeware, but you may need to purchase the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component from Apple if you don't have it already.

Importing from DVD into FCP

I need to edit using material on a dvd in VIDEO_TS format. Is there someway to import it directly from Final Cut Pro or do I use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip or something else? Can you spell out for me what I need to do as I'm not a techie.
Also I have 2x DVD-R 's which when I put into my computer's DVD tray it reads as empty discs, yet they both play fine on my TV's DVD player. What's the solution.

How do you import a package into Forte?

I'm attempting to use a Java package from http://www.braju.com that essentially implements the standard C functions printf / sprintf, as part of an exercise to convert a C program to Java.
I can go into a (gasp!) Windows ME DOS window, set my Classpath to include C:\java\classes (where I put the hb15.zip file), and following the directions on Henrik's website I can type:java com.braju.format.Format -helpand see it work- but when I try to compile with Forte, the line...import com.braju.format.*;causes it to say, "package com.braju.format does not exist."
I just installed the early release (version 3) of Forte, which has no problem with standard Java imports such as:import java.lang.Math;Does anybody know what the problem is?

Hi.
I am using NetBeans 3.2 but I think it's pretty the same.
So here is how to set your classpath for your compiler :
1) decide what you're using as a compiler : internal or external compiler
2) go to main menu : Project - > Settings
3) Expand "Compiler Types" node
4) Select from here the compiler you're using (internal, external, fastjavac , etc )
5) click on the "Expert" tab and you'll find a "classpath" field that must be editable
6) append/add your location to the existing classpath
Now it should work.
They may be some (GUI) differences between the Forte and NetBeans main menu, but I think you've got the idea.
Regards,
Rick

How do you import Presenter files into Presenter 8

Hi Everyone:
I just gave a user a new computer and I'm trying to transfer all of the profile files from Presenter to the new computer.
I tried copying everything in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Presenter\Presenters to the new location, but they don't show up in Presenter.
If I make a new presenter, that one shows up in the AppData directory but none of the profiles I copied over show up.
It doesn't look like Presenter 8 has an "import" function.
I deleted the folder for the test Presenter I made and it still showed up in Adobe Presenter.
So, my question is "How can I get Presenter 8 to read these imported directories?" Is there a directory or hidden file I'm missing or a change in the registry settings?
Saying, "Upgrade to Presenter 10" is a valid response, but I was hoping to get around that.
Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, Just tested between two computers using Presenter 8 and 10 and I wasn't able to transfer the Presenter information by placing in the location, as you are seeing. Oddly, transferring themes by moving them into the Themes folder still works. However, you can still import a presenter by placing it (or multiples, say one per slide) on a PPT deck on the old computer. Then bring that PPT presentation over to the new computer and open it. You should see all the presenters associated with that presentation in your Presenter's list. You may have to go into the edit function to modify them, but the should appear. It looks like the images may have to be reapplied, but you can still get most of the information there.
Completely impossible seems like a strong position to take.
