How to open FC Express project in FCP

Using FCE 3.5 and need to open the project in FCP 5.0.4.
At the moment I get a window telling me:
"File format is too new for this operation"
Checked Software Update to see if there was a FCP upgrade I was missing, but doesn't seem to be one.
If this has already been posted I apologise and please direct me to it.
Thanks Mac People
-justin!

You probably need v 5.1. It is not a downloadable version.
To move from 5.0 to 5.1 is considered a Crossgrade and the forms and details for how it works can be found on the Apple website - FCP Studio pages under updates. I believe the cost is ~$200 but may have forgotten the exact price.
good luck.

You'd open it the same way you'd open any project file. Start the program, click the Open a Project... button on the Welcome Screen.

How to open the demo projects

Hi,
when I click on Help > Exploring Logic Pro Demo Project
nothing happens.
How to open the demo project?

Check you have the files installed.
Go here:
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Logic/Logic Studio Demo Songs
There should be a folder called [The Numbers Game]
If it's not there, then maybe you didn't install the demo content when installing Logic Studio.

Newbie Question: Why can't I open my iMovie project in FCP?

Hello all--
I'm sure some variation of this question has been posted a bajillion times but I can't seem to find the answer. At this point I feel like a damsel in distress. Rescue me?
I've been working with iMovie for about two years now and I've recently been learning Final Cut Pro to up the ante on my videos. However, when I tried to import an iMovie project into FCP yesterday, it didn't quite work. Let me explain what I did and what happened:
1) I exported my (edited but previously unpublished) iMovie project by clicking Share>Export Final Cut XML
2) I opened FCP and clicked File>Import>XML and then selected the XML, leaving all the boxes checked
3) FCP imported the project as a sequence; however, the entire sequence reads "Media Offline" in the Canvas.
4) I clicked File>Reconnect Media and the list of offline files is overwhelming. I tried my luck by clicking "locate" and going to my imovie folders to find the clips, but even when the browser allowed me to select a clip, when I double clicked it, nothing in the sequence changed - it's all still "offline."
I really don't know much about media management, I'll admit - I'm wondering if maybe iMovie saves edited clips in a folder other than the events or originals folder - maybe the edited clips become "temporary items"? I know I have a ridiculous amount of imovie cache and temporary items and I never touch them because there are just so many of them and I don't want to mess anything up. But could the files that FCP claims to be "offline" in fact be located in these "temporary" folders? I mean, I've looked everywhere else on my hard drive and nothing is working! Sorry, I am probably just confusing myself MORE (and you), but maybe SOMEONE will know what in the world I should do
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the family. I don't think many of us have ever used iMovie so your post might be more quickly answered in that forum.
My suggestion is to forget trying to move the project. Rebuild it in FCP. The exercise will teach you much more about your new software than fighting XML.
If you don't feel like doing that, try a smaller iMovie project, something with only two or three clips and one dissolve.
The larger issue is probably how iMovie stores its captured media which is completely different from how FCP does it. And the format is different. FCP does not, IIRC, view iMovie's default dvstream codec. You will want to export your movie clips as DV.

How can I save a project in FCP 7.0.2 so that it can be viewed in FCP 6?

Hi there,
I am working on a project in Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 and need to show the project to a colleague who is using Final Cut Pro 6. How can I do this?
Thanks

Shane's Stock Answer #45 - How to export your project to work with earlier versions of Final Cut Pro.
Versions of Final Cut Pro aren't backwards compatible. So a project created with FCP 7 cannot be opened with FCP 6...and this even goes into the dot-updates as well. A project created with FCP 5.1.4 cannot be opened by FCP 5.1.1.
Nope, for this you need to use XML. Export your sequence as an XML sequence and import that in the other version of FCP. XML v3 if for FCP 5.1 4 and FCP 6. XML v2 is for FCP 5.0, and XML v1 is for FCP 4.5. So if you need to go from FCP 6 to FCP 5.0.4, you'd use XML v2. For FCP 7 projects that you want to open in FCP 6, XML v4.
To export an entire project, select ALL the bins in the Browser and then choose FILE>EXPORT>XML.

Can't open fcp project file - fcp not responding

starts to open project but gets to 23% and freezes fcp...project is being stored on a lacie 250gig protable hd with firewire. never had this issue after tons of work. tried going to a autosave version but tried several and they freeze up fcp
any ideas short of moving all the media to another drive and starting a new project (I was just about to start cutting this project today).

Welcome to the forum!
Post the version of FCP you're running.
Try opening a new project file, then importing the captured clips into it... might fix this... If you trash your preferences for FCP found in the user/library/preferences/FCP User data folder, you can just click on the application and it won't try to open the last project file.
Can you open earlier project files OK?

Can't open an FCE project in FCP

I got FCE 4.0.1 and have now upgraded to FCP 6.0.1. When I try to open my existing FCE project in FCP, I get a message that says, " File's format is too new for this version of application."
I just bought the FCS, so I assume it's the latest version of the program.
Any ideas?

The latest version of Final Cut Pro is 6.0.5.
Use the software updater to get to that version.
My guess is the 6.0.1 was released before FCE 4.0.1.
"In general, Final Cut Pro can open a Final Cut Express project if it was last modified in a version of Final Cut Express that was released before the version of Final Cut Pro that you are using."

Opening FCE 4 project in FCP 7? Is it possible?

Hi All
I am on the verge of buying FCE 4 to rough-cut a doc project that will likely end up being finished on FCP. Budget is tight at the moment and my current 'field' machine is too slow to run FCP 7 properly.
I know that FCE cannot export an edit decision list, but that FCE 4 projects can be opened in FCP 6, according to Tom Wolsky (see http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/995580).
I assumed that FCE 4 projects could thus be opened in FCP 7 -- but this website http://www.answers.com/topic/final-cut-pro says that FCE 4 is NOT compatible with FCP 7.
Can anyone advise on this? Is it possible to rough-cut a project in Apple Intermediate Codec in FCE 4 and then open this project in FCP 7, re-import footage as ProRes, and finish?
I look forward to your responses!
Adam Welz

Hi Tom
I've split this question into two parts:
A) I'm not entirely sure what the implications of FCE 4 losing 'all timecode' when converting (in this case AVCCAM .mts) files to AIC on import are. Apparently the original timecode is still there -- it's just not visible unless you use a filter like FCE Timecode Display (http://web.mac.com/piero.fiorani/PieroFFCE_Effect/TimecodeDisplay.html).
I'm on a steep learning curve here, so please excuse me if I sound a bit dumb, but does the fact that AIC 'loses timecode' mean that if I open an FCE 4 project file in FCP 7 and try to re-capture media (and convert to ProRes while recapturing) from my original AVCCAM files using FCP 7, that FCP 7 will not know where to find the clips to re-capture?
B) I'm also not sure what you mean by capturing media as DV anamorphic downconverted to retain timecode. Presumably this does not apply to AVCHD footage, as you have indicated elsewhere in this forum (and chapter 16 of the FCE users manual says) that the only transcode (ingest) option with FCE is to convert AVCHD footage (including AVCCAM footage) to full-size AIC? Please clarify.
Thanks for all your help!

How do i take a project from FCP to DVD so it plays on a DVD Player

Help, i need to export a project from FCP in a format which will play on through a UK DVD player and TV. What format do i export to ?
I then understand i need to import this into DVD Studio Pro set it up to Loop and then burn to DVD R, is this correct ?
Help please
Hillster

Export QT/Current Settings/Self Contained/Audio and Video.
Drop it into Compressor and choose the DVD preset that matches the total number of minutes of video and also use dolby2 audio.
Import into DVD SP.
Delete the menu in the graphic view. Set the track to first play and loop or end jump to itself.
Drop the video and audio assets into that track.

How to open 8.0 project from generated files

Hello-
Is there a way to work from generated files in a project after it is published?? We lost the 'originals' which were on a hard drive that got zapped. Now I am scrambling to figure out how to open it when I can't see the xpj file???
I know this has come up before - but I am having a mental block. Will keep searching on the posts.
Thanks for any help!!

Hi there
Does the fact you say "generated files" mean you are left with only WebHelp or FlashHelp output? If so, the link below should help.

If you say you have a CHM file, try the link below this.

How to Open Period in Projects?

It looks simple to open period in Projects. But I am not sure about the exact steps.
I observed the below...
when I opened GL Period, it automatically opens PA period. Is that the way the module behaves?
What is the use of 'Copy from GL' button and 'Set Reporting Period'.
What is the exact procedure to open PA period ?
I can see that the status field is greyed out in Maintain PA period statuses. Please advise.
Thanks

There are two periods in PA, one is GL Period and other is PA period
you can decide whether to manitain common periods between GL and PA ( It is a check box in Projects Implementation options)
Incase you set it as common, then whatever calendar is defined in GL will appear in GL period form and also in PA period window
Copy from GL button in PA period form resembles to copy the periods defined in the GL to PA period ( for example: the GL calendar is defined say till end of 2013, you have copied to PA period, so PA period also has till end of 2013) after a while GL team adds the calendar periods for 2014, when you click on copy from GL, then copies remaning periods that weren't copied earlier
Check box Reporting period is something which you set to make sure all your Project status Inquiry details, reporting details are considered
for example: you have set March 2013, then when you run PRC: update project summary amounts then updates all the project details till the period of March-2013
Thanks

How to open Word document in Forms Web Version

In the Client-Server version of Forms 6i, we open a Word template by executing the Host command like below,
host('WINWORD.EXE'||' '||ltrim(rtrim(v_new_filename)));
How do I execute the same in Web version to open the Word template?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have gone thorugh the examples on OTN. Here's my requirements :
In our case we are opening a Word template file from the server machine, making some changes, and saving it back to the server machine. The name of the template file, the location to be saved is all internally handled by forms. In the client-server version, allthe user does is hit the Save button and close the Word application.
In the Web version, I can open the template file in the browser from the server. The user makes the changes & is then prompted to save it to his client machine. After that the user closes the browser & then has to click on a save button which moves the file from the client machine to the server.
This extra process of saving the Word file to the client machine bothers me as the users can make changes/delete the file on their own before hitting the Save button on the form. BTW, I have borrowed the code mostly from the OTN website.
So is there any way to avoid this step to saving to the client m/c and then moving it to the server. Thanks.
I am running forms 6i on 9iAS on WIN 2000.

Open iMovie 10 Project in FCP X

My son edited a movie in iMovie 10 and wanted to choose different fonts for the titles. For some reason we haven't been able to figure out, he is unable to edit the font styles as that option appears to be grayed out, regardless of which title style he chooses (reading in the Apple Support Communities, this is either a bug or intentional), so we decided to add titles in FCP X. But we can't find the project now! Where in the heck does iMovie 10 save projects?
Chris

Thanks so much! I followed that info and was able to get much of the material up in iMovie. There are still some projects that it cant find the media for, but that's not surprising. I've got files and folders spread between two different drives, in all kinds of places. iMovie shows three different Libriaries in the lefthand colum now, iMovie Library, iMovie Library 1 and iMovie Library 2.
I was able to find the main Movies folder, with its iMovie Porjects and iMovie events folder and I put them at the root level of the external.
Now I need to figure out where this new material has been stored, then find all those other folder and files and somehow get them into iMovie as well.
Eventually I'd like for the iMovie library and and all its assoicated files and folders to be stored on one of these externals Iit may be that way now...) Do you know how to check which folders and files iMovie is referencing?

Opening a FCP7 Project in FCP X

How do you open a previous Final Cut Pro project in Final Cut Pro X??????

A totally new app with the same name and and incremental number identifier (although missing two)... should therefore be safe to assume that one can import old projects.
Imagine the **** storm that would kick up if Microsoft Word 2012 couldn't import old word documents!!

Problem opening FCP project in latest version 6.0.5

I get the project may be too new for this version of FCP warning. I have the latest upgrade. I originally worked on it on my MBP running TIGER and saved it on a Mac Pro that is on Leopard could that be an issue? Any work around to this? I really need to access my file.

Does this help?
