How to import images of websites into FCP....any ideas?

Hi,
I was asked to cut several trailers for an award show. Which is nice. However, they have this category about "best website", and of course, they want to use images of those websites, the banners, the headlines and so on. I don't mean single images found on that website, but rather the site from head to toe, from top to bottom, left to right.
I tried saving the websites from Safari as a PDF, and then convert them into a TIFF, import into FCP and it works....but it looks less than desirable.
So even I have come to the conclusion that there is my way of doing this, and that there is a proper way of doing it. Does anybody have an idea how to do this at a reasonable resolution? I guess they want me to do a bit of Ken Burns as well, so the images would have to be larger than SD resolution.
Thanks in advance for your help,

The tiffs are probably the best solution but they are going to be bigger than the actual Web sites' graphics.
Here's what I'd so: Tell your client (Is this a paid gig?) to give you the graphics they want you to use. Here's why. They'll go download it all and save it in one format.
How will these be shown? What's your production format? It won't do much good to overresolve your sequence settings and doing so will drive up your processing times tremendously. You will need some blur on those tiffs. Another thing you want to do is experiment if you can with the display venue. KNow what your output is going to be shown on and insist or demand a chance to test it.

  • How to import premier xml file into FCP X?

    Hi There,
    Premier has an export to "Final Cut Pro XML" option but how do you import these files into FCP X?
    If I navigate from within FCP X, the file is greyed out and if I right click from the finder and open in FCP X I see the error:
    The document “V1-0008_M07-1538.mov.xml” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files in the “XML text” format.
    I'm using FCP 10.1.1 and Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1
    Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

    Looks like this is the only option: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/7tox-for-final-cut-pro/id496926258?ls=1&mt=12

  • How to import high quality video into FCP Studio

    I used Mac The Ripper to extract video off of some DVDs, that were NTSC.
    I then used compressor to match the frame rate of my timeline, 59.94.
    The video never looked great, even after I de-interlaced it. But after using compressor, this is the video noise I ended up with.
    Is there a good way to extract from DVDs. What are the best settings in Compressor to get the best results?
    My compressor settings:
    File Extension: mov
    Estimated file size: 2.75 GB/hour of source
    Audio: multi-track passthrough
    Video Encoder
        Format: QT
        Width: 640
        Height: 426
        Pixel aspect ratio: Square
        Crop: None
        Padding: None
        Frame rate: 59.94
        Frame Controls: Automatically selected: Off
        Codec Type: MPEG-4 Video
        Multi-pass: Off, frame reorder: Off
        Pixel depth: 24
        Spatial quality: 100
        Min. Spatial quality: 25
        Key frame interval: 24
        Temporal quality: 50
        Min. temporal quality: 25
        Average data rate: 6.554 (Mbps)

    Thanks so much for you help! Your the best!
    I will try MPEG STREAMCLIP again. My earlier version does not seem to be working.
    The previous poster stated I needed to be the owner to rip DVDs.  Yet, I just wanted to point out that there are two instances where you actually do not need to own copyright. As I mentioned I have the releases from the copyright owners. And mentioning Fair Use was inportant to know about as well. But you're right,  not something to be cavalier about.
    Definitely,  what constitues Fair Use should be left to attorneys. There are very specific criteria that designates what is and what is not Fair Use. Happily the law has been recently changed so film makers doing documetnary work can editorialize, and commnet under the Fair Use doctraine and ripping DVDs under this doctraine is not punishable.
    The courts are broadly interperting the law, and as this link shows, even Yoko Ono couldn't stop a film maker from using IMAGINE, by John Lennon.

  • How to import a PSD file into Indesign WITH layers so it can be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    How to import a Photoshop file into Indesign CS6 so that it's layers show in InDesign and it can then be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

    MyTienN wrote:
    Someone had mentioned the possibility of saving each individual layer in Photoshop as a png file and importing into Indesign and adjusting it in there
    What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
    Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.

  • How to get Logic Pro Surround into FCP?

    I've got an FCP project that is setup as DV NTSC 48kHz 16:9 anamorphic (basically linked Video/Audio - 2 tracks).
    I have some surround tracks (mix of audio tracks and instrument tracks) that I've created in Logic Pro that is set at 96kHz 24bit.
    If I bounce to PCM (AIFF) for all the tracks in Logic Pro how can I get these tracks into my FCP project that is using DV Video/Audio at 48kHz? I know I can import AIFF files into FCP but because the DV audio is 48kHz so I get all kinds of problems.
    Tried to convert the FCP project to 96kHz 24bit audio and that resulted in all kinds of issues with timing and playback. I could not figure out how to split out the DV audio from the video (not sure I want to either).
    Not sure best way to proceed? Should I send the FCP project to SoundTrack Pro and then in SoundTrack Pro import the AIFF created by Logic Pro? Once in SoundTrack Pro how to I get it ALL into FCP so I can render to a Movie and then use that in DVD Studio Pro?
    Is there someway to convert the DV Audio to 96kHz and retain a synch'd link with the DV video?
    Any tips on how to proceed is very welcome.
    Thanks, Rob.

    Rob,
    What sample rate do you ultimately want on the DVD? Do you want Dolby 5.1?
    Try burning your sequence to a single DV file. import the file into Logic Pro, bounce to a new 96k file. Check this new file against your video while still in Logic. Back in FCP, make a new sequence, set it to 96k, import the new audio, then import your 96k surround stems.
    Although I'm still not sure what you're trying to accomplish with a 96k surround mix.

  • How to import a PDF form into FormsCentral

    Hi,
    Please help me in How to  import a PDF form into FormsCentral.
    Thanks,
    Techvedic

    Hi Techvedic,
    Import of form in Formscentral depends on how it was created. If you used LiveCycle designer to create the original form then it cannot be imported. However, if the form is created in Acrobat then you can import it by clicking on Import PDF form under Create New form heading.
    Note: In the imported form you may edit the position of the submit button, but other design edits to the imported form will need to be made in the tool used to create that form.
    Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other question.
    Regards,

  • How to bring company's website into a EP

    Hi gurus,
    We already have a company website, which was developed in .net, how can we link that website into our new EP implementation? how to config it so it can support multi-language for the old website?
    Thanks.
    Peter

    Hello Peter,
    From a content point of view : you should easily integrate your .net intranet with EP using a simple URL iview.
    From an authentication point: you need to decide wether you want to keep portal logon as it is by default or setup an authentication scheme to include authentication with your MS ADS or any other authentication mechanism in place in your company.
    Note : if users are authenticated in your .net website from their ms-ads logon then it will remain the same and no further configuration is needed unless you want the portal authentification to get integrated with MS-ads logon.
    From a multi-language prospective then it all depends on your .net website capabilities. Unfortunately no portal will translate it for you
    As an example : if your .net website is multi-language enabled and if by any chance language is transmitted in its URL, then you can customize your url iview to pass this language parameter based on user profile (or any other method).
    Hope it helps,
    Frank

    thank you very much

    Well there are two options - if you have a WAR file with the code in it, then you can use the file->import WAR.
    Or you can use the new->Project from source code.
    Note that you'll probably need to do some library settings and some directory setting after that.
    Have a look at this demo for basic steps:
