How do you watch a Final cut pro movie on TV

Hi i'm new to FCP I have just put together a holiday movie using my Mac book pro and FCP ver. 10.1.3 using both stills and movie clips i'm struggling with the following can anyone help
I'm trying to save the movie on my portable Toshiba hard drive without any luck as i need to free up some space on my laptop as I have the movies i'd like to make I can then use the PHD with my desk top mac to hopefully watch the movie through my apple TV?
Is it possible to put the movie that i've put together in FCP onto a SDHC card and watch the movie from the card on my TV ?
Do I need to get any other software if so is it free ?
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated as I seem to be going round in circles!
Thanks in advance Colin

From a quick search online it appears that you need to adhere strictly to some type of AVCHD structure on the SD card in order for the TV to play it. I don't have a similar device, so obviously I can't try it, but it doesn't seem like you can easily drag a few videos to your card and expect the TV to play it :-(
Hopefully the support at Panasonic can give you a clear answer.
I suppose that you need to export for "Apple Devices", and add the movie to your iTunes library, in order for it to be accessible through the Apple TV (again, this is from my general understanding of such things, I don't have an Apple TV either):

How do you remove a final cut pro 7 license and re-enter it ?

I tried removing the FCP7 license to be able to re-enter it by removing the final cut file in this folder:
Library >Application Support> ProApps >Final Cut Studio System ID
but it didn't seem to work, is there a step I'm missing?
thanks in advance!

Trash you preferences and delete that file again. If it fails I would move all files out of the proapps folder to desktop, then boot FCP, authorise and re-drag in any files that are missing.
Also make sure to not have any ProApps (Logic FCP etc) running while you do this.

How Do you Rotoscope In Final Cut Pro?

I was wondering how to Rotoscope in FCP?
Could someone send me a link with detailed instructions or can someone explain to me how to do it?
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Sam

It's a painstaking process of finite and infinite amounts of work keyframing frame by frame with a garbage matte filter if you don't have other tools. Really don't do your effect doing rotoscoping with FCP, unless it can be very rough and still work for your project.
There are much better programs to do this with out there. Shake for starters. There's tracking controls coming in Motion 3 that will help here maybe... But rotoscoping isn't something you take lightly. It's really a pain to do. But has aspects of knitting I suppose... LOL...
Try using other techniques. Green screen is a ton easer on the editor if it's shot right. Couse this doesn't work for everyting I suppose. What are you trying to do?

How do you delete a Final Cut Pro X project?

I really want to get some memory back on my computer. I erased the file of the project off my computer and even erased my trash but it saill says that it has the same amount of storage. I restarted my computer but it still didnt work. Please help!

Either, select your project, go to File, delete project render files…
Or, to get rid of the whole project, move project to trash…
Then empty the trash.
Do the same with your Events…
Otherwise, run Omni Disk Sweeper (free) to find and delete large unused files…

How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library?

How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library? I can't double click on folder, when I right click it just gives options to erase. Can someone help?

I think you may have misunderstood - the question is regarding renaming a project "folder", not a project name.
Still, the accepted answer here makes no sense to me at all - it's about renaming an event. So we're all confused ;-)
BTW as of 10.0.5, I still cannot rename a project folder while background tasks are running - no clue is given that this is what's going on, second-clicking on the folder just (frustratingly) does nothing. When background tasks finish, it works again.

How i do Export project final cut pro to edius

how i do Export project final cut pro to edius

The other option is to get Xto7, which may be much easier than Resolve and faster.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xto7-for-final-cut-pro/id487899517?mt=12
But I don't know if Edius reads XML files.
If you need EDL files, DaVinci Resolve LITE (free) is the way to go.

How do I transfer my Final Cut Pro X Trial work to my paid full version?

I can't seem to find a way to do this.

I am having issues with this, too. I currently have both the trial version and the purchased version, and I've done a lot of work in the trial that I MUST get access to, but it's not showing up in the paid version (contrary to what is stated above... that it shows up in the paid automatically). I am worried that if I delete the trial all my days of work will be trashed. It is critical that these files transfer...is it truly as simple as deleting the trial? Why was that not said anywhere in the loading directions? Feeling truly frustrated!
What version is the trial? Is that a 10.0.*?
What version is the purchased version?

Export Quicktime movie in FCP comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File

Does anyone know why when I Export Quicktime movie in FCP it comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File? I can still play it in Quicktime and it's possible to set the Quicktime Player as the default software, but it still says in my finder window that it is a Final Cut Pro Movie File.
Does anyone know if there are any settings for the clip to come out as a Quicktime Movie instead? Thank you!

+"The studio apps "brand" their exports. Actually kind of useful...+
In the words of the venerable Forest Gump, "Useful is as useful does" ... or something like that.
I actually use similar "icon" techniques in other areas of my workflow. But most of the time I just modify the file title for quick ID - I also use dashes & underscores to get things to stand out and stay at the top of lists etc.
But QT is my Go-To App for quick media reference and I have it set up to play almost all types off media when double clicked. I started doing it years ago when iTunes opened up every time I wanted to check a few seconds of an mp3 file.
I guess the best solution would have been for Apple to leave the "export FinalCut movie" option intact and simply add in an "export Quicktime movie" option as well. Or maybe add another drop down option for the tagging (branding).
At least we would have been able to make the workflow choices in-the-box rather than doing it with the OS.
Andy Neil,
I think using the OS is the better option rather than re-compressing your movie just so you can double click into QT.

Saving as Quicktime or Final Cut Pro Movie File

More a general question about compression from Final Cut.
Source - HDV 3 min movie
I compressed using default settings for Export > Quicktime Movie. (Result - a Final Cut Pro Movie File)
Also I used default settings for Export > Using Quicktime Conversion, except I boosted to 'Best' quality. (Result - a Quicktime Movie file)
The latter resulted in a file size twice that of the first (in theory higher quality) but stuttered on playback once burned to disc, although plays fine from Mac hard drive.
Tried this with more than one movie and same problem of stuttering playback with higher file size QT Movie once burned to disc. Wondered what might be causing this.
Also what are the pro's and con's of saving either as a Quicktime Movie or Final Cut Pro Movie File?
Thanks

You can't "improve" the quality of what is already a digital video. The "data" that makes up the video can't be improved once the camera records it as a file. There isn't even a theory about this. Going from one codec to a higher codec does not "add" any quality. In fact, your method is degrading your quality, as you're causing your HDV data file to be re-encoded twice to another HDV file.
You're creating a larger size video file, with less quality do to doubling the compression generation with QuickTime Conversion, and it's the unnecessary increased file size that is making the CPU work overtime to play it back.
Export > Quicktime, self-contained, this is the BEST quality you'll get, the most efficient playback, too.
If you want it to play back easier, convert it to H.264 (quality set to medium, trust me), or ProRes 422.

How can I upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 to 10.0.7

I need to upgrade from Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 to 10.0.7 but can not find how to do this. Can anybody help?
Thanks.

You might do some web searching on "FCPx torrent ". I would think that if you have a legitimate copy of FCPx there would be no legal/moral issue with pulling down a 10.0.7 version via bittorrent, but I'm not a lawyer. And of course there are other issues relating to such software but as Tom implies, you can't get an older version from Apple so you'll have to find somebody, somewhere with a 10.0.7 copy that you can install.

How to install plugins into final cut pro 7

A friend of mine sent me some free plugins for Final Cut Pro 7. How do I get the plugins into Final Cut Pro 7? Clicking and dragging obviously doesn't work.

You do NOT need Motion in order to use those transitions, effects, etc.!
You only need it if you want to edit or create new such things.
