at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

How to Import AVCHD 1080/60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7?

How do I import AVCHD 1080 / 60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7? And if there is no direct way [I certainly haven't found one, but I'm no expert], what additional software would be used? I want to import the files from a Panasonic HDC-HS700 onto an Intel Mac laptop [Mac OSX 10.5.8]? Obviously I don't want to compress & compromise my footage.
I’m sure a simple, straightforward series of steps would help many people with this issue.
Thanks!

Thanks for the response!
I'm guessing you've found ClipWrap2 to be better than competing products [such as AVCHD Converter for Mac, Toast Titanium, or Voltaic].
On to the next steps. Using Clipwrap2, would I leave the checkbox "Convert Audio to LPCM" selected or deselected [and what the heck is LPCM?]. In the pulldown menu would I choose "Rewrap (Don't alter video samples)" or do I save a step by choosing "Apple ProRes 422"?
And finally, am I gaining anything by shooting 1080/60p on this Panasonic HD Camera other than a headache? [Some have suggested this is not a True 60p.]

How do I import a .fcpproject file into final cut pro?

You don't. The application opens it when it recognizes it in the correct folder structure.

How to import unix executable files into Final Cut Pro

A friend wanted me to create a Halo 3 Montage Video for him. He loaded the saved clips onto a flash drive for me but when I put it into my computer the information comes up as Unix Executable Files and I don't know how to import them into Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 or if it's even possible. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Ok. Well, I plug in the flash drive. When it opens there's a folder that says XBox360. When I click on the folder there are 9 files listed that say Data0000, Data0001 etc. The preview option shows a gray folder that says Exec on it and the only information I can find is that it's a Unix Executable File. When I click on more info option everything that pops up is what I've already told you. I tried opening it in the VLC Player but nothing played which makes me think there aren't video files on the flash drive. When I click on the file to open it the Terminal Program appears and lists basic information about the file.
Is there a program that can take these files and covert them into something that can run in Final Cut Pro? Or is that what VLC is supposed to do?

Every time I import an .fcpxml file into Final Cut Pro X, the timeline doesn't get imported

So I had exported an .fcpxml file from one machine, which i had to format. So, after formatting the machine, each time I import the .fcpxml file into Final Cut Pro X, The timeline remains empty

Use MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free software) to convert the media to something like ProRes 422, then import into FCP X.
MPEG Streamclip can cope with many codecs.

Audio lost when importing MPEGs into Final Cut Pro

When I import MPEG files into Final Cut Pro 4.5 the audio disappears. When I play the clips in Quicktime the audio and video are present, after I import only the video is present. I have tried adjusting the sequence presets for MPEG, but that has not helped. Any advice? Thanks!!

Can not import MXF files into Final Cut Pro

I am full of anger and frustration!!! I purchased final cut pro only to find out that it WILL NOT import MXF files. How insane is that? ADOBE - NO PROBLEM. Then I had to go back to YOUR STORE and buy two different file converter applications before I found one that worked. Now FINAL CUT PRO will only import the audio segment of converted files after converting to PRORES in PAVTUBE. Are you BUCKING kidding me? This work flow BLOWS. Why the FELL does this have to be sooooo hard! I am gone to creative cow and other forums to try to find out why I am sooo stupid that I can't get this simple process sorted out. YOU BUCKING MONEY MACHINE! How many more aps will I have to buy before I can edit CANON XF100 files in Final Cut Pro. BUCK politics! You should make your software with plugins that would allow you to edit without this kind of added step. JUST LIKE ADOBE. I want refunds for my final cut pro purchase. This is BUCKING rediculous. What a waste of time!

Good thing I still have an iMac on Snow Leopard with FCP7 where I can import these files. I was hoping to upgrade that system next month when the new iMac comes out
There is definite upside to dragging one's feet on upgrades until necessary and this is a prime example. On a desktop running 10.6, and the XF Utility, FCP 7 L&T works reliably. And like you, that's my workflow for FCPX projects. Running 10,7 on a laptop, the EOS plug-in works well for FCPX imports – no workarounds needed. When I finally get around to updating, I will partition the HD, with one SL partition and the other partition with a later OS. Of course this strategy will work only as long as my hardware holds up.

Importing SWF into Final Cut Pro with no Background

Hi Everyone:
I've created an animated macromedia .swf file and imported
into Final Cut Pro successfully just as an .swf file. I can see the
.swf file animate in Final Cut Pro, the only problem is there is a
white background along with my animation. I've seen many slighly
related threads to this problem, but no end solution or work
around. any help? here's what i've seen in posts and other forums:
- create another layer below your object and place a
tranparent color swatch box the size of your stage size
- export the flash file as .mov with an alpha channel
transparency
- export the flash file as a .mov with an alpha channel, then
open in quicktime pro, then re export again as a quicktime movie
with the "Millions +" option.
- i've also heard something about having the right codecs, or
purchasing some other 3rd part software.
none of these approaches have worked for me. My Dream would
be to just import the .swf file straight into Final Cut Pro. I've
been exporting my flash movies as a png sequence and importing
every image into FCP for the time being. I'm also thinking about
just making the background bright green, because i think i just
chroma key it out, but i'm not sure how clean this will be.
here's the related thread:

Thanks for any help.

You need one of these: http://desktop.thomsongrassvalley.com/products/videoconversion.php to do it properly. The ADVC 300 is the best option for the money.

Permissions problem when importing file in Final Cut Pro X 10.1.3

Hi guys!!
Today, like all days, I opened up my Final Cut Pro X version 10.1.3 and created a new Library and new project. Then I selected "Import Files" and I checked all the files I needed. Last I clicked on import selected files and I received this error:
"Directory Not Writable. The chosen directory is not writable."
This is a real tragedy. I have to start an important project and I can't use the program at all.
This is what I tried so far:
- Checked Macintosh HD permissions - Done - No problems
- I use an external HD as my scratch disk - Checked - No problems
- Tried to create a new project on a new HDD - Same error
- Checked Read / Write permissions on Macintosh HD and on footage folders - No problems
This is my Mac:
- iMac 21,5" Mid 2011
- Core i5 2,7 GHz
- 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
- AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
- HDD 1TB
- 2nd External HDD WD My Book 3 TB USB 3.0
- OS Yosemite 10.10
I'm in panic. And I really don't know how to resolve this problem....
Thanks for every little help you will give me.
David

And you're using managed media?
Did you repair permissions for the drive?
What OS are you using? Did you update to Yosemite? Did you do a clean install?

Importing Files into Final Cut Express

I have a technical issue that I hope someone can assist me with...
I recieved 2 harddrives full of video clips that were shot in HD from a video production house. Here is the content on the drives: CARD 1 (folder), inside this folder there are 2 items (CONTENTS & LASTCLIP.txt) in the CONTENT folder are the following folders : AUDIO, CLIP, ICON, PROXY, VIDEO, and VOICE.
My question/dilemma: Can I import these clips into Final Cut Express to edit? I have an older version of Final Cut HD that won't work with these files.
Any and all input will be greatly appreciated.
-Greg

HELP ! Anybody, please help !
As you can probably guess. I've reached the limit of my "expertise" with your files ....... ".XML" sounds familiar but you will have to hang around for someone else to tell you whether and how they can be used.
One thing I am sure about (I think!) is that the latest version of FCE will be no better than the older one you have.

How do I import a .swf file into Final Cut Pro 6?

A client has given me a .swf file for use in their commercial. What is the best way to import this file to play full screen full motion?

The Final Cut Pro manual is very misleading. It says:
You can import any files that are recognized by QuickTime, including:
* Video files: QuickTime Movie, AVI, and Macromedia Flash (video only—you won’t be able to play any audio portions).
But Apple have since removed Flash support from QuickTime so these files can no longer be opened. The best thing to do is ask the client to deliver the file to you as a QuickTime movie.

Import Files to Final Cut Pro X

Hi I wanted to know if there is any way to import .avi's or .MTS's to Final Cut Pro X or if there is any special software I need. The .avi if coming from Dxtory, a windows program (http://dxtory.com/v2-home-en.html), and the .MTS is coming from an AVCHD camera (Specifically the Sony NEX-5N and it is recorded at 60p). Please reply quickly and without trolling. Thanks in advance.

Yes Sir!
The MTS files on 50p/60p will require you to rewrap them in a QuickTime container, you can use CLIPWRAP for that. AVI shouldn't be a problem, but if it fails, you can use clipwrap on them too.
Anything else, Sir!

How to get the HPX files into Final Cut Pro 7?

Hey.
I have a small crisis. Hope someone can help as quickly as possible?! Thank you
I'm working on my bachelor project, and has borrowed a Panasonic HPX 170, and will cut in Final Cut Pro 7. Now I have all the files on a hard drive, and they are MFX files.
- How do I get them into FCP?
Many thanks for all your help!

Thanks
But what if the clips are already on my iMac via the hard disk? What you write, is through the camera right?
I've tried to get the files by the camera into FCP, but it did not. It can not find the camera.
Thanks for your answer
