How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

You don't need to render before export.
Rendering is for playback.
If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

  • How does Final Cut Pro Compare to Adobe Premier?

    Just wondering. I have FCE4 and I'm picking up an adobe CS3 production premium in the near future. I wanted to know if I should even bother installing premier (I'm getting the premium at academic value from my school primarily for after effects and photoshop).

    May I suggest you check out the Forums on Adobe's website. Premiere did not work well with 10.5. That was recently fixed with Premiere CS 3.2. However, a number of users reported difficulty installing the update. Encore on a Mac is a disaster. It is Adobe's DVD authoring program. I find it vastly inferior to DVD StudioPro. I've been working with it for the past month, trying to author Blu-ray disks. All I can say is that, I have yet to find a reliable, repeatable workflow with Encore.
    Yes Premiere has some advantages over FCP. One example is the internal titler. I have used both programs over the years(Premiere versions 1.0-6.0 on a Mac, FCP 1.5-5.04) and I prefer Final Cut Studio far and away. I use it each and every day and must say that it allows me to make a living.
    After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator are in a class all their own. They are what has kept Adobe in business. Since Adobe bought Macromedia, Flash and Dreamweaver have been a big deal for them. Premiere was always an orphan because it was never a big moneymaker for Adobe, at least on a Mac.
    But as others point out the choice is yours.
    Here is the link to the Premiere website:

  • Final Cut Pro Render/ export crashes

    hello everyone,
    i've been working on a very lengthy project which i am trying to finish up on final cut pro 5 but the problem is final cut is being extremely difficult and will not get through rendering or exporting a single thing without crashing. i don't know if it's ridiculously poor programming or the lack of a plugin that might be the problem. the details are that i recorded myself drawing on photoshop using snapzpro with apple's animation codec and set everything up in pro so that my drawing is time-lapsed and all i have to do now is render and export. i rendered the project once before and it went fine overnight, but it failed to render the cropping i had put in so when i came to render it again and it does nothing but crash, sometimes at 2%, sometimes at 0%. That colour wheel starts turning and never stops (even 9 hours after leaving my macbook) and this even happens when i try to render 2 seconds worth of footage (force quit also says final cut is not responding). truth be told i am extremely frustrated with final cut right now and would appreciate any support i could get on how to get this god awful thing to just work.
    i tried using fcp rescue and closing all unnecessary programs but nothing worked. i just don't get why it rendered the first time through and now decides to crash all the time.
    plz help, and thx.

    You have two problems.
    1. As David noted, you are running a non compatible version (PPC) of Final Cut Pro on your intel machine. This is not supported and will cause all sorts of quirky behavior. The only way to solve this issue is to upgrade to a universal binary version.
    2. The animation codec is intended as a means to transfer files between programs in a lossless manner. It is not intended to be edited on low power machines and CERTAINLY not on the system drive. Things may work better with an edit friendly codec.
    As far as the general crashing, there is no telling at this point whether your files are simply corrupted, the preferences are corrupted, the non-intel nature of the program is causing the crashes as you stress the process during renders or what.
    If it is a corrupted file - pay attention to where the render fails. THe files around that point are suspect.
    If it is a corrupted pref file, use a program like FCP Rescue 5 to delete the FCP preference files.
    Good luck.

  • Final Cut Pro X Export Speed Problems

    I'm having problems getting any real processor speed out of my Final Cut Pro X exports. Whether I do a direct native Pro Res export straight from FCPX or send to compressor with the same settings, or even change them to H.264 or something else, i more often get processing that looks like the included picture, barely one processor being tapped. Sometimes ill get 50 percent which is probably all direct export is meant to use, seems like Qmaster distributed processing still doesn't work here. Once i get the file out and then bring that into Compressor 4 I get no issues, can get 50 percent with regular submit and full speed all cores running with Quickcluster submit. Any ideas why this is happening?
    Just to be clear, these are native ProRes HQ clips, no effects, nothing, just selects I'm trying output, and since we can't do reference clips anymore, well....

    TThe most common cause of this problem is that the media hasn't been imported properly and is still referencing a camera card or archive. If you press Cmd-E and no dialog appears, this can be one cause.
    BTw, this is primarily a user to user forum, so no one here really cares if you go and use Premiere.

  • Why does Final Cut Pro Crash at Start up?

    This is what console tells me is going wrong! Help what do i do!
    4/27/11 1:18:40 PM          Final Cut Pro[2867]          ProKit's NSWindow addition -setActiveAppearanceDuringRestore: has been deprecated and does nothing on SnowLeopard for apps linked on ProKit 5.x or later. Please remove this method call.

    Try searching for invisible files that are called ProKit, NSWindow, and combinations of those two. They should be in your Library or System folders, Maybe.
    But the larger questions we must have answered:
    Has FCP ever worked for you or ios this a new instalation, first time launch?
    Did you add any new software to your system since the last successful launch of FCP?

  • Final cut pro X export files bigger than originals

    I got two WMV files, each file size about 500mbs, I converted them to mp4 using permute. Afther converting, each file size about 490mbs.
    Then I open the mp4 files with final cut pro, I just want to mend the two clips together, it's that simple. I finish puting the clips adjacent to each other. Then hit export and chose encoding method .h264.
    When final cut finished exporting, the movie is over 4GB in size.
    Why is it so big ? the orginal files combined size is just about 1 GB.

    File numer 1
    format :H.264, 1,280 x 720 AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)

  • Does Final Cut Pro X Utilize Multiple GPUs if more than one is installed?

    For example, does Final Cut Pro X utltize both GPU's to help in rendering if you went with the two ATI Radeon 5770 option in a Mac Pro? Thanks for any help!
    Dan

    - NO - kind of but not really - take a class - watch some basic videos on you tube...
    - YES - multicam is excellent
    - YES - you can switch it off - but you probably won't when you get used to it - after about 5 days
    - YES - very much so in the browser where it counts
    - YES... I think.
    Really go watch some basic entry level FCP X vids - the answers are all there. I recommend watching the latest from 2014 on YouTube. There are plenty.

  • Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.

    Does final cut pro work on Macbook air.
    I know it works fine on my Macbook Pro, but considering getting an Air for travelling, and like to import and do some basic editing while away.
    Used to have a Macbook, and FCP wouldn't load on that.
    Understand the Air's limitations on disk size, but only wanting it as a travelling editor.
    Thanks

    "Traveling editor" could imply dedicated offlining. Shane, do you think that could work with a low rez ProRes codec?
    I don't think anyone has tried to use an AirBook for FCP. Anyone bother to search?

  • Does Final Cut Pro import 24 fps video?

    Hi,
    I've been working with Final Cut Express for about a year, and am thinking about upgrading. I know that Final Cut Express does not import true 24 fps video, but am wondering if Final Cut Pro does. Also, does Final Cut Pro require more hardware power than FCE? (I currently have a dual core MacBook Pro with 4 gigs of ram. Will that suffice for FCP?)
    Thanks,
    Vic

    Yes, FCP can handle 24 (or, more commonly, 23.98), and no, it doesn't require additional hardware (though certain apps inside the suite will certainly benefit from it).

  • Does Final Cut Pro X support RAW Cinema DNG files?

    I'm looking at a pro/broadcast project that I'll be shooting in RAW Cinema DNG.  Does Final Cut Pro X support this format?  I can shoot in ProRes, but I don't want to for this particular project.

    If it's in the purchased page and doesn't download, you should contact Apple.

  • I am trying to download Final Cut Pro, but it keeps telling me there is not enough space on my hard drive even though there is. Help?

    I am trying to download Final Cut Pro, but it keeps telling me there is not enough space on my hard drive even though there is. Help?

    I realized that my laptop only has 2GB of memory. It's a MacBook Pro 13in bought in 2009. Is it true that I'm able to upgrade up to 8GB of memory. Seems like 4GB of space is a lot for a single program to be running.. A bummer I'll have to save up for more memory.

  • Why does our Final Cut Pro Batch Exports incorrectly name sequence files?

    Why does our Final Cut Pro 7.0.1 Batch Exports incorrectly name sequence files?
    For example I can Batch Export 10 sequences one of which is called:
    "899-006TL013 It's Not Your Fault 800-509-2875"
    Then the output for some of the files are along the lines of:
    "899-006TL013 It's No#61386E.mov"
    I have seen this happen with 1-6 files or not at all... is it just dumb luck?
    What is going on here and is there any way to avoid or remedy this issue?
    We first thought having the render destination window open caused it but that was not the source.
    Any ideas?

    I've run into the same problem with FCP 7.0.2 when exporting from the sequence using File --> Export --> QuickTime Movie. I exported a file today called "BSP - 01 - How You Can Be Sure You Are A Christian" and it came out as this "BSP - 01 - How You Can#1630". This is getting to be annoying. I also need to name these files the length they are. I'm hoping someone may see this and have a suggestion (besides shortening the file name). It seems like I've also seen this on shorter file names, but at the moment I can't prove it.
