How do you move text edited in After Effects into Final Cut Pro?

I edited text in After Effects and want to use it at the start of my movie which is in Final Cut Pro.
How do I export the After Effects editted text into FCP?
I have FCP 7
Thankyou

I suppose the way to do it is to export to Quicktime and import that into FCP X.
Use ProRes 4444 codec in order to preserve transparency (alpha channel).

After effects vs final cut pro?

Is comparing adobe after effects to final cut pro, a fair comparison? What I mean is, looking around on youtube, I see better... effets on projects made with projects on after effects. now, I love FCP for editing, does adobe give a better program thats can do effects. I am looking to make my videos look more profesional, and I notice after effects has effects built into its system to do effects.
After looking at this vidoe, im sold, final cut pro can not do this that quick.

Effects do NOT make your videos more professional. Professionalism is the only thing that can make your videos appear to have been produced, written, shot, and edited by a professional. Even faking professional video requires elevated professionalism.
Hey! Just wait one second! That's is NOT what is promised by Apple and whoever makes those promises! All I have to do is buy the computer and the software and I'm a "professional!"
But I truly and strongly encourage you to go ahead and purchase After Effects based solely on the Video Copilot tutorials. Know in advance that AE is about ten times as complex as FCP ever will be and you will want to post extensively in the Beginner's AE Forum on the cow.

I would also suggest extensive posting in the FCP Beginners forum on the Cow for the OP.

Is there an easier way to work with adobe after effects and final cut pro x

I use adobe after effects and I am thinking about deleting motion and compressor ( I can always install again). If you have a good reason to keep those apps let me know because I don't want to be hasty. If I delete them and stick with after effects and final cut pro... Is there a secret to easy working between FCPX and adobe after effects?
Thanks

You'll go from FCP X to and from Motion a lot easier than AE. Motion does pretty much anything AE does, most of the time faster and easier. Without Motion, you can't do custom templates. You can't customize the encoding of files without Compressor. Why would you want to remove them from your system? Leave them, use AE if you want along side of them. But I'd learn Motion first. Cause AE doesn't read FCPXML, so going back and forth between them is a PITA.
And until Apple releases the round trip between FCP X and Motion fully, we have this gem:

How to import original clips edited in After Effects into Adobe Premiere, without the After Effects

What is the quickest and easiest way to bring clips that were edited within after effects into adobe premiere? I just want the original clip as it is cut, without any of the after effects manipulation. I am trying to gather the cuts of a green screen project together that was compiled and edited within Adobe After Effects, so they can be rekeyed. I want to detach all effects work, and just have a straight green screen cut of the original files. Each cut though, is its own compilation. Simply importing to a new sequence doesn't seem to be the answer because I first have to uncheck many effects to find the original clip buried beneath layers of mattes and various effects. I have probably 400 different cuts, and currently my workflow is super slow just searching for the original clip in after effects, looking for the time code, then matching the original clip and timecode into Premiere. Is there a faster an easier workflow?
Thank you

Then you need the original clip.

It's what you may need to do, though. Unless you know exactly where the clips are on the hard drive.

How can I import my xdcam files (Sony PMW200) into final cut pro

Hi.
I just got a Sony PMW200 but cannot figure how to import files into Final Cut Pro 6. I copied the SXS cards to my hard drive and am trying to figure out how to import it into Final Cut.
I would really appreciate a little help.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi:
If you own the material rights, you can use MPEG Streamclip to reencode to an editable format like DV.
Hope that helps !

How to Import a MPEG-3-ts (Transport Stream) into Final Cut Pro ?

Hello All;
I just bought Final Cut Studio and I am trying to figure out how to import some video footage that I captured using ArcSoft's totalMedia software via a HD HomeRun High Definition TV decoder. I have verified that the video is being saved in MPEG-2 Transport Stream format but I've tried everything but still can't import it into Final Cut Pro. I've purchased the MPEG 2 Quicktime component but then realized that it doesn't work with Transport Streams. Then I downloaded MPEG StreamClip for Mac which does play the clips on a Mac but I need to obtain the codec so I can import them into Final Cut Pro. Any ideas would be hugely appreciated. Thanks. Tim

I do:
"You need to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to an editable format, such as those found in Final Cut Pro's Easy Setup menu.
For HD, your best choice is ProRes, DVCPro HD or Apple Intermediate Codec."
And so does Nick.

How do I import avchd sony cx700 camcorder footage into Final Cut Pro?

I've recently bought a Sony CX700 camcorder, but can't transfer the footage using the Log and Transfer window. Does anybody know how to import AVCHD footage into Final Cut Pro?

You use the log and transfer function.

Rendering After Effects to Final Cut Pro

I'm very new to Final Cut Pro and After Effects. I've managed to learn the basics for FCP on Lynda.com and I can create a basic video. What I'd like to do now is create text intro that I can apply to the beginning of all my videos. I learned about the text effects in After Effects. From with After Effects I can open a text effect and create the text that I want. My question is, what settings should I use to export this to a format that I can then import into my movie timeline in FCP?
I'm creating HD videos in YouTube at 720p.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now -- if you need to export an alpha channel out of AE then you'll need some specific formats.
Good luck,

Welcome home, Mench!
To maintain the alpha channel from AE, the OP will want to look up how to be using two codecs, Animation and ProRes 4444. Both are extensively described in the help system for FCP and After Effects or just google them for several hours of interesting reading. The OP will also need to understand the concept of an alpha channel which, come to think of it, was difficult for me.

Exporting from After Effects to Final Cut Pro

Hi
Could anybody tell me the best way to export from After Effects, back in to Final Cut Pro? Do I need to get Automatic Duck for this, if so which one?
Thanks for any help!
Matt

You need to add your composition to the render cue and then export to the same format and codec that you're using in FCP. Automatic Duck is a great tool for getting your FCP or Motion timelines into After Effects but most of the time I simply select a clip in FCP, export it as a reference movie, bring it into AE for processing, then render a file to use as a replacement in FCP.
Search for After Effects Final Cut Workflow and you'll find some more tips including this one. It isn't bad for organization but it misses the point of using the same codec. All my FCP projects are ProRez HQ or ProREZ 444 so that's my choice. Also, if you use the entire shot, which is not a bad idea, then you can use the replace footage option in FCP which is more efficient than the demoed technique of dragging your rendered shot into the timeline and then trimming if needed.
Hope this helps.

Trying to Keep an Alpha Channel From After Effects to Final Cut Pro

I've created a nice little transition in After Effects that uses an alpha channel. When I export it from AE I save it as a Quicktime movie with RGB + Alpha.
When I drop it on the timeline, though, in Final Cut the bar above it turns orange and therefore it plays very jerky. It makes it hard to tell if the transition is looking like it should without exporting first.
I tried converting to ProRes, but then the alpha channel is lost and so the transition is useless.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my very short transition clip to play correctly on the timeline without losing the alpha channel. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray

You need to render it in the sequence. CMD R.
You're working in +Unlimited RT+, so the orange bar means that it is unrendered and FCP will try to play it back as well as possible, given your hardware specs.
When you render it, it will take on the compression codec of your +Sequence Settings+, and play in real time.
Have a look at the manual for understanding Sequence Settings, Unlimited RT vs. Safe RT, and Rendering.
BTW, unless you rendered your transition from AE with a Straight alpha channel, as opposed to a Premultiplied one, the edges of the graphic will look wrong.

After Effects and Final Cut Pro

I've got a pretty good understanding of FCP (and getting better at Motion); of course one can never learn enough, but as I've searched around for work as a video editor a lot employers want an applicant with some Adobe After Effects experience.
Can anyone suggest a book or DVD or set of tutorials to gain a working knowledge of AE so that when a project requires jumping into AE I'm not totally lost. Or is it something that I shouldn't be too worried about, as Motion could be a good substitute for AE.
TIA
Cheers,

The books by Chris & Trish Meyers are great. They used to be split into a Vol 1, & Vol 2: the latter being more advanced. Now they've combined them into a single book. (LINK) You can't go wrong with these authors!
There's a ton of video training over at lynda.com, for AE as well.
As far as whether or not you should pursue this is up to you. More arrows in the quiver, the better, I think. Depends too on the specific jobs you're approaching. Are they saying "AE" because they have an established pipeline, implementing it - specifically - already? Or are they saying "AE" as a general term for motion graphics. Meaning, if you can get the same result from Motion, that someone else got in AE, then what's the difference?
Here's another tip: Fundamentals. It can never hurt to up your skills/knowledge of color theory, grid systems, general design, typography, layouts, timing, illustration, infographics...etc. All these things underly what you're going at with any Mograph package. If you can come to grips with these concepts then what you use to express them will become irrelevant. You could use Motion, AE, C4D, Combustion, Flame, etc, etc... Nowadays what I'm seeing is a lot of "designers" who are such, only in name. Meaning, the own a graphics app. They don't really know how to "design" and their work shows it.
Focus on the ammunition, not the gun. You'll be so much better off in the long run.

After Effects and Final Cut Express

Hey,
Is it possible to export a project from After Effects into Final Cut Express? I just want to make sure before I get it.
That's all, thanks,
Leroy

You can export a QuickTime movie from After Effects and use it in FCE. AE projects will not open in FCE.

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

Yes. A couple of ways that might work.
First Way
What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence. Does it display correctionly?
OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c). Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted. Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort. That should maek things work. What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence. That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
Second Way.
Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline. You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.
