How do I open my Final Cut Express 4.0 files in Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?

Hello,
I used Final Cut Pro when I was in college and when I graduated in 2010, I bought Final Cut Express 4.0. I recently bought Final Cut Pro 10.1.3 two days ago and I am having trouble opening up my old Final Cut Express 4.0 files. When I do go to open up these files they only open up with Final Cut Express and I always get the message: file's format is too new for this version of the application.
How do I open these Final Cut Express 4.0 files in Final Cut Pro 10.1.3?
Thank you!

TThere is no way to go directly from FCE to FCPX. If you know somehow who has FCP7, they can open the FCE projects and export XML files. These can be converted to FCPX XML format using the 7toX utility.

How can one burn a Final Cut Express Movie to a DVD?

To whomever can help:
Hello all. My question is how can I take a finished project in Final Cut Express and burn it to a dvd? Do I need to use iDVD or something else. And if so, how can I burn it and make menus and such?

Just over half way into this tutorial is a _how to_ get a Final Cut Sequence into iDVD. The method is pretty much the same out of FCE even though iDVD has changed with differing versions.
Knowing which iDVD you use will help if you need more info.

How do I export a final cut express movie in both PAL & NTSC formats?

I am wanting to provide both a NTSC and PAL verion of a movie onto a DVD, how can I do this using final cut express?

Ok, I have successfully converted a DV-NTSC video to DV-PAL using Nattress Standards Conversion in FCE. The resulting output file (a self-contained QT movie) verfied as PAL in QuickTime movie inspector, 720x576 at 25fps and it plays perfectly, the video looks great, and the sound is in sync.
I had to figure out a workaround for one step in the documentation (Graeme uses an FCPro feature called 'nest items' that doesn't exist in FCExpress. I got around that by manually creating a second PAL sequence instead - see below).
If you're starting with an NTSC video, the basic procedure I used is this:
1 - create a PAL sequence and place the NTSC clip in that sequence (yes, that's right)
2 - create a second PAL sequence (add the word NEST to the name so you can tell which sequence is which)
3 - nest the first PAL sequence in the second PAL sequence
4 - open the second PAL sequence (the NEST) in the viewer by Control-clicking its timeline and select +Open in Viewer+
5 - apply the G Converter filter to the NEST (which is now open in the Viewer)
6 - click the filters tab in the Viewer so you can see the G Converter filter
7 - drag the +original NTSC clip+ from the Browser to the +Source Clip well+ in the filter
8 - verify that the other G Converter settings are what you need, especially that you have checked "Nested", "High Quality" and "Source is NTSC-DV" and that the convert setting is NTSC->PAL (these are the defaults, but you should verify them anyway)
9 - render the NEST sequence ... +this may take as long or longer than the length in time of your sequence+
10 - export the NEST sequence as a self-contained QT movie ... which will now be a PAL movie
One other note, the Standards Conversion filters need to be copied to the +Library > Application Support > Final Cut Express Support > Plugins+ folder (not the Final Cut Pro Support > Plugins folder as specified in the documentation)
If you are going to try this with your project, I suggest the following:
1 - edit your movie in an NTSC sequence. After completing all your edits (when you are done editing) export it as a +self-contained QT movie+ (it will be an NTSC movie)
2 - re-import the exported NTSC movie back into FCE (it will now be your complete movie as one large clip)
3 - follow the instructions above for using the G Converter filter to create the PAL version of your movie (using the re-imported movie as the only clip you will put in the first PAL sequence, and in the Source Clip well in the converter filter.)
You can use your first export (the self-contained NTSC movie) to create your NTSC DVDs; and the second export (the self-contained PAL movie) to create your PAL DVDs.

How do I render in Final Cut Express?

I installed Final Cut Express 4 yesterday. I cannot render anything! When I try to render it says "Warning: Insufficient disk space for render. Please free up space and retry." I have deleted preferences and it still will not render. I have also made room by deleting files but it still will not work! What do I do?

Hi
There are some major differences in how video-editing programs works.
Just to Start and get on with FinalCut is one of them. It doesn't store and keep material as iMovie any version.
So a book on howto can be of Great Value - I used

• Final Cut Express 4
And enjoyed especially Tom Wolskys book

HT1338 how can I upgrade my final cut express 4 to final cut pro?

Can I update my Final Cut Express 4 to the current version?

If you have questions about or are having difficulties with FCP, I'd suggest you start a new topic in the Final Cut Pro forum rather than posting in someone else's year-old thread.
Final Cut Pro is by no means "amateur". It's used by many professional editors of feature films. So either you got Final Cut Express, or you just haven't discovered how to use all the features. Again, the FCP forum can help.
Regards.

How do I export a Final Cut Express 4 movie using quick time conversion without stretching the image?

I have created a movie in Final Cut Express 4 using videos and still photos of various aspect ratios and resolutions. Some of the photos are verticals. When I try to use File>Export>Using Quick Time Conversion, my images end up being stretched horizontally when the video is finally processed. I have tried preserving the aspect ratio but the video still ends up stretched horizontally. What should my settings be in Quick time conversion? I just want to make a video for YouTube.
Thanks. -Bob

If you shoot in one of the following modes you should be able to Log & Transfer directly into FCE:
HD: 1920x1080/60i (FX or FH mode)
HD: 1440x1080/60i (HQ or LP mode)
SD: 720x480/60i
1080/60p (PS mode) seems to be the default mode in your camcorder. FCE only supports progressive video in 720p50 or 720p60. That's probably why you have had to import via iMovie.
It would be better to upgrade to Final Cut Pro X, the version currently supported. FCE was discontinued over 18 months ago and is not supported on Lion or Mountain Lion.

How do I update from Final Cut Express

What upgrade options are available to you.

There are no upgrade options for Final Cut Express. It was discontinued by Apple in June of 2011.
Alternative apps include iMovie, Final Cut Pro X, AVID and Adobe Premier.

Changing Pitch in Final Cut Express 2

Is there anyway to do so? I know for certain that you can in normal Final Cut. I need to know this because I am teaching advanced audio techniques for my editing class and I want to show my students how to disguise voices, mix character speach, etc. Yet at my house I only have Express 2. Can audio's pitch be shifted in Express?
eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Have you had a look for any AU plugins? I think FCE 2 supports them.

Only thing is it might not work with ones with custom graphics, which are probably all of above.

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 I properly uninstall Final Cut Express HD

I got a new MacBook Pro, and put my old FCE HD on to it with the Migration Assistant, but now it doesn't work because the hardware is different. Now, how do I get FCE properly uninstalled???
Is there a certain doing for every program to uninstall???

Use this to uninstall: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcs_remover.htm
If I recall correctly, you'll need FCE 4 to install and run properly on an IntelMac.

How can I use Final Cut Express in a Mac Pro

I want to know how could I use my Final Cut Express HD programm (Version 3) in my new Mac Pro.

FCE 3.0 was not designed to work with Intel based Macs when they were introduced years ago so you have no chance with a modern Mac.
You must upgrade to FCE 4 unless you want to move onto Final Cut Pro X which is designed to be used with the latest technology.
Final Cut Studio 3 will also work OK.

Field encoding issue/ FINAL CUT EXPRESS

Hello, I am editing a video for television broadcast. The requirements ask for "Field Encoding Order:Bottom or Upper field first. We do not accept progressive."
Does any one know how to do this for FINAL CUT EXPRESS? Or do I need compressor?

What is your source material?
What is your Easy Setup (actually, your Sequence Setting)? Control-click the Sequence name in the FCE Browser, then select Item Properties. What does it say for Compressor, Vid Rate, Frame Size & Field Dominance?
The request indicates they want interlaced material. Unless you know you shot progressive, you probably already have interlaced video.
