How do you import raw motion video projects into Final Cut Pro X

How can I take a raw motion video (not a template for a transition, generator, etc.) and import it into final cut pro so I can just put it right into one of my projects.

    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.

  • How to Import AVCHD 1080/60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7?

    How do I import AVCHD 1080 / 60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7? And if there is no direct way [I certainly haven't found one, but I'm no expert], what additional software would be used? I want to import the files from a Panasonic HDC-HS700 onto an Intel Mac laptop [Mac OSX 10.5.8]? Obviously I don't want to compress & compromise my footage.
    I’m sure a simple, straightforward series of steps would help many people with this issue.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response!
    I'm guessing you've found ClipWrap2 to be better than competing products [such as AVCHD Converter for Mac, Toast Titanium, or Voltaic].
    On to the next steps. Using Clipwrap2, would I leave the checkbox "Convert Audio to LPCM" selected or deselected [and what the heck is LPCM?]. In the pulldown menu would I choose "Rewrap (Don't alter video samples)" or do I save a step by choosing "Apple ProRes 422"?
    And finally, am I gaining anything by shooting 1080/60p on this Panasonic HD Camera other than a headache? [Some have suggested this is not a True 60p.]

  • How do i import imovie project into final cut pro

    I movie 08 is seriously lacking titles and transitions, so I want to spruce up my project in final cut pro, but I do not know how to get the project into final cut pro
    thanks for your help

    YES!
    Apple seems to be talking down to users with much of the workflow and nomenclature in the iLife Apps - it's almost insulting.
    But I'm as old as the hills too - grumping has become one of my favorite pass times.
    And while I'm at it:
    I still can't figure out why there is a "GO" item in the menu of OSX. WTH is THAT ? And why can't users change it's contents? Very PC. It would be more tolerable if we could use it like the OLD Apple Menu back in OS9. The Dock is cute GUI eye candy but I'd like the option of "docking" items in a menu too.
    I'll shut up now before I get in trouble...

  • Importing imovie project into Final Cut Pro

    Hello I need help getting my HD imovie project into final cut pro. I recored the project in 24p and it's already imported into imovie. What is the best way to get it into Final Cut Pro so that I can edit it further without sacrificing the quality.
    Another problem is that I have heard that imovie compresses the video and totally ruins the quality. Is this true? And is this reversible in any way? I have already recorded over all the clips for this project on my camcorder. How screwed am I?
    -Michael

    First thing to do is find your original clips that you captured in IMovie. I don't have much experience in IMovie, but see if you can select a clip and control click and choose reveal in finder. If that works, open one of these clips in quicktime player and hit command-i and let us know the format of the clip.
    Kind of doubt you'll be able to actually import your project into fcp, but you should be able to recreate it in fcp without too much difficulty.
    Let us know what camera you shot and captured from. That may be of some help.
    Hopefully someone with more experience in IMovie will speak up, but hopefully this will get us started.

  • Does anyone know why- when I iport a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright in IMovie full screen becomes worst in final cut, full screen...but clear when it is in still position?

    Does anyone know why- when I import a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright full screen in I Movie instantly becomes worst on full screen in Final Cut X...but clear again when I stop it to still position?

    I'm new to video editing but I think I recall seeing an option in FCPX which lets you choose the video quality for the preview window. I think the window reduces the quality when playing back for performance reasons and so perhaps that is why it seems to have less quality when moved over to FCPX? Just a possibility, I'm sure one of the more experienced users can confirm or deny this theory.

  • I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects

    I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects. When I select import and then either files or folders, I am able to navigate to the drive where the media is being stored, but then when I scroll to locate the files or folders the drive disappears. This problem began as an intermittent problem, but now I cannot import any files or folders. This problem started when I upgraded my operating system to Yosemite version 10.10.2 on my mid-2010 Mac Pro running with 16 GB of memory and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. Can anyone help me figure out and solve this serious problem? Thanks!

    Then just drag the files/folders from your hard drive into FCP.  Don't use the IMPORT option...just drag and drop.
    The problem started when you installed an OS that doesn't support FCP 7.  So if you want things to work smoothly, it's best to go back to an OS that did support FCP 7. Yosemite was written without taking FCP 7 functionality in mind, so it isn't fully functional. It might not do one thing for someone...but works for you in that respect. But then you can't do something else. The ways it doesn't work is always random.  Or it might work great for some people, because they don't use functions that might no longer work....so they don't notice it.

  • How do you add old movie count downs to Final Cut Pro X ?

    I am trying to make a video from the films that i recorded while skiing, and i was wondering how i would add an old movie count down into Final Cut Pro X, becasue i cant seem to find anywhere that does it.

    No possible.... You'll need to jot them down manually. Very painful especially if your dealing with a 2hr long DVD

  • Get Videos (vhs) into final cut pro 5

    Hi
    I wonderd if theres any way of me linking up my video player to final cut pro 5 to get my videos onto my hard drive to watch etc. or any other way of getting my videos on there?
    Thanks

    You need an Analog/Digital convertor.
    If your Handycam has RCA inputs, you can connect the VCR to the Handycam, a firewire cable from your Handycam to the computer, and capture as an uncontrolled device.
    If your Handycam can't do A/D conversion, you'll need to buy an A/D convertor. This one will work:

    although if you're going to do alot of it and your VHS tapes are old (the tracking isn't great), it'd be worth the extra $$ to get this one:

  • Whenever I press spacebar to playback my video project in final cut pro X, the color wheel pops up and freezes the computer. Doesn't matter what computer I use. Why and how do I fix this?

    Like I said, I'm doing a simple video and have finally made some progress in editing. All of a sudden, when I try to replay the video the color wheel pops up and nothing works. It just keeps spinning and spinning with no end. I end up having to force quit the program. When I restart it the same thing happens. I've tried it on 3 different computers and the results have been the same. I've read that perhaps the software needs to be updated through the mac store, I did that to no avail. I also read that perhaps the preferences for the project/final cut pro need to be reset. I downloaded a program that is supposed to do this for me but it didn't work I also went into Preferences in Final Cut and hit reset under editing tab which also did not work. I"m really frustrated about this and I"m getting paid for this video. This needs to be resolved ASAP.  Thanks in advance for the help: ask any questions.

    Please give complete details of your system and the media and the project properties.

  • HT4115 How can I get my Final Cut Express 4 projects into Final Cut Pro X?

    I'm going to be switching to OSX Lion, and will have to update Final Cut, since express won't run on Lion. Thus I have to get X. With the new 64-bit Pro X is there a way to open my past projects? I know that at one time you could open up older versions of FC in higher and newer versions. I've heard about Assisted Editing's 7toX for Final Cut Pro application that allows you to convert your old FCP 7 files to be used in FCP X. Does anyone know of the best way I can assure not loosing all my current work?

    You can't import FCE projects into FCP X but you can import the media.
    You may well find that FCE will work on Lion.
    It seems OK on mine.
    Why do you want to go to Lion? Snow Leopard is probably a better OS in many ways.

  • How do you type on a text transition on Final Cut Pro X?

    I am having trouble figuring out how to type on the ink splats title. Please give instructions that include where the buttons are, as I am just starting to use Final Cut Pro X.

    Move the playhead to where the text appears. Double click on each word to edit the Title and Subtitle separately. You can also click on the words and drag them on the screen to reposition them if necessary.  When you double click on the words, you can also alter their respective text properties by going into the Text inspector and changing the available aspects for each text element (like font, size, etc...)
