I can't export Final Cut Express HD movie to QT

I do realize the error of my ways. I installed an old copy of FCE HD onto my MBP with Snow Leopard (10.6.3). I really wish I knew SL only supports FCE4 before I edited a 2-hour movie.
I've seen discussion on this forum about installing Quicktime 7 from the SL install disk. So I installed QT 7. It is in the Utilities folder.
I rendered the video via Render All > Both and Render Only > Mixdown
I ran Disk Utility and Repaired Permissions
I exported via Export> Quicktime Movie> Include: Audio and Video, Markers: None, "Make Movie Self-Contained" not checked.
The time remaining box appears and counts down the estimated minutes remaining and the % complete. It gets all the way to 100% complete and hangs there.
Is there something I need to do with Quicktime or FCE to make sure it is using QT7 and not QTX? Is there some other error in my workflow?
Thx in advance,
Ed

I created a little workaround that may be specific to me. I have a copy of Final Cut Pro HD on my wife's iBook running 10.5. From the iBook, I logged into my MBP over my network. I then opened the project in FCP and was able to do an export. Once exported I moved the QT file back to the MBP where it played fine this morning. Unfortunately, I made a couple minor adjustments and now when I open the file it says a couple render files are missing. I'll search for an answer to that problem.
Thanks Al

  • Can you export FInal Cut express project to IDVD?

    I am currently using IMOVIE and IDVD. I am considering purchasing Final Cut Express. Someone told me that you cannot export a completed Final Cut Express File to IDVD. Is this correct. Would I have to invest in DVD Studio?
    Thanks,
    Benjamin

    Completely untrue. Some people seem to have issues
    with chapter markers not importing correctly on
    occasions, but otherwise it works fine
    Can anyone comment on this problem and the solution? I just upgraded to FCX HD and iDVD 5.0, and I can no longer put chapters in my movies. Worked just fine under FCX 2.0 and iDVD 4.
    Thanks,

  • Can't use Final Cut Express Export Using Quick Time Conversion with iDVD.

    I am using iDVD 08v 7.0.4 and until 3 days ago I could import and create iDVD's using Final Cut Express export using Quick Time Conversion. There was an update that downloaded for iDVD. Since then, I can only use Final Cut Express Exports that is a self contained Quick Time Movie.
    I have never had this kind of apple and apple problem. I am disappointed that I'm having apple issues like this.

    Are you on latest 10.5.x release and latest FCE updates? Your info line says 10.5.1 and you didn't list FCE version. Not saying that will fix problem, but might help. You also might want to explain how you did your Quicktime conversion.

  • Can I export Final Cut Pro files to Final Cut Express?

    Can I export Final Cut Pro files to Final Cut Express?

    FCE only works with DV for standard definition and the Apple Intermediate Codec for HD. Most FCP projects cannot be opened in FCE.

    If you export the project from FCE you can import the QuickTime into FCP. You can do limited work to it like adding titles.

  • Exporting Final Cut Express Documents

    Yes...I was wondering is there any way to export a final cut express document (movie) to an external device (such as a camcorder via firewire), other than just burning it to a DVD (through IDVD or such) for viewing?
    -Thanks

    Yes, you can either use Print to Video or just play the timeline while a camera is connected via FW. Just make sure View is set to direct video out to FW.

  • Can I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1. to import movies from Panasonic VDR-D250?

    Can I use Final Cut Express 4.0.1. to import movies from Panasonic VDR-D250 via USB 2.0? How? (page in handbook?)
    Further specifications of this older camera:
    USB 2.0
    DVD-RAM (cannot be inserted in my MBP!)
    50-PAL (signal)
    MPEG2
    Dolby Digital
    I want to use FCE if possible but maybe could try to install the software of this camera on Windows virtual XP also on my MBP?

    I forward an answer of Panasonic (written in German):
    So Panasonic does not offer a software which is compatible with Apple!
    Bezug nehmend auf Ihre Anfrage teilen wir Ihnen mit, dass der Camcorder
    VDR-D250 die Videoaufnahmen nach dem DVD-Videostandard sowie nach dem
    DVD-VR-Standard aufnehmen kann. Wir können jedoch nicht beurteilen ob Ihre
    Software Final Cut Express 4.0.1 die Bearbeitung dieser Standards
    unterstützt. Seitens Panasonic wird weder eine Apple kompatible software
    noch Support für Apple Geräte angeboten. Wenden Sie sich diesbezüglich
    bitte an Ihren Apple Händler oder Ihren Computeradministrator. Die
    mitgelieferte Software des Camcorders ist ausschließlich für folgende
    Betriebssysteme vorgesehen:
    - Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
    - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
    - Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Ob diese Software in einer virtuellen Umgebung genutzt werden kann ist uns
    nicht bekannt. Um die mit dem Camcorder aufgenommenen DVDs an einem
    Computer-Laufwerk auslesen zu können müssen diese vorab mit dem Camcorder
    finalisiert werden. Ausnahme ist die Verwendung einer DVD-RAM.

  • Can't load final cut express

    I can't load final cut express on an emac that has the system requirements. When loading the serial number the ok button will not highlight. I took it back to the shop today and the assistant installed it no trouble at all on the mac. Could their be anything in the administrator settings that are preventing it loading? Thanks

    Have you filled in all the fields? I remember wondering why it wouldn't let my hit OK; it was because I hadn't entered 'state' or something (Lancashire in my case). Anyway, it was one of the address fields that I didn't realise was necessary.

  • Since connecting my new Cinema display, I can't open Final Cut Express because I don says Quartz extreme, Since connecting my new Cinema display, I can't open Final Cut Express because I don says Quartz extreme

    Since connecting my new Cinema display to my new Mac Pro, I can't open Final Cut Express.  I get the message that I need Quartz Extreme to use it.  How come it isn't in my brand new computer or monitor??  I could use FCE fine with an old monitor.  HELP!

    I finally called Apple support on Monday (couldn't on Sunday - it surprised me that they don't have 24/7 phone support).  Tech had no idea, so put me onto a 'supertech' (in America?).  He instructed me to reset the whole computer - turn it off, unplug it and then hold down 4 keys while it rebooted.  That worked.  I can now open Final Cut Express and iMovie.  There's no reference to 'Quartz Extreme' in my 'About This Mac' display info, but I don't care, everything works now, hooray!  (Now if I can only get my Mac mouse to work properly...)

  • I have 8mm films transferred to .avi files at 18fps.  Can I use Final Cut Express to convert to standard DVDs to play on a US TV?

    I have 8mm films transferred to .avi files at 18fps.  Can I use Final Cut Express to convert to standard DVDs to play on a US TV?

    Hi
    I was hoping that FCE would be able to handle the coversion from 18 to 30fps but that appears not to be the case.
    It does - If I'm not totally wrong. Can be to much using FinalCut Pro (6)
    Start FCE
    Select type of project You want to do
    I guess - NTSC 29.97fps - Select that from FCE menu / Easy Set-up
    Start a new Sequence
    DROP A PHOTO in TimeLine - at beginning.
    Now project is locked to 29.97 fps
    Now import and drop the 18fps clip in TimeLine.
    Select to convert it to match the setting of TimeLine.
    IF THIS IS A GOOD WAY - I hesitate to say - It works - but if quality is OK or not - I don't know
    I DO : use JES_Deinterlacer (free from Internet) to convert the frame rate in my clips (usually 25fps) to 29.97 fps - Then and first then I import the converted clip into FinalCut to be used in my NTSC projects.
    The quality done in this way - is very good and the program is free - so I can not want any better.

  • Can I install final cut express 2 on Panther 910.3.4

    Hi there,
    Long time, Can I install final cut express 2 on Panther 910.3.4
    Thanks
    Fabricio

    Hi Fabricio,
    I assume you have 10.3.4 and not 910.3.4 on the machine you want to install it on? If so, here are the system requirements I see for it:
    Final Cut Express 2.0.2
    System Requirements
    * Macintosh computer with a 350MHz PowerPC G4 or G5 processor and AGP graphics card.
    * RT Extreme requires a 500MHz PowerPC G4 (550MHz for PowerBook G4) or G5 processor
    or any dual PowerPC G4 or G5 processors.
    * Mac OS X v10.2.5 or later.
    * QuickTime 6.4 or later.
    * 384MB of RAM (512MB required for RT Extreme).
    * 40MB of available disk space required for installation.
    hope that helps some,
    LS

  • Can I install final cut express on a second computer?

    Can I install final cut express on a second computer?

    The FCE license permits you to install FCE on 1 Mac desktop + 1 Mac laptop provided you own and use both computers.  You are not permitted to install on 2 laptops or 2 desktops.
    From the FCE license:
    2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
    A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on one Apple-labeled desktop computer and one Apple-labeled laptop computer so long as both computers are owned and used by you.
    If you are not the owner of the second Mac then an additional license is required for it.
    The fact that there are 2 stickers means nothing.  It's just 2 stickers.  The intent was for you to put them in different places so that you hopefully don't lose both stickers.

  • What setting is the best for exporting Final Cut Express HD

    I am new to final cut express HD. I have worked with iMovie and it was very easy to work with and exporting the movie was not too difficult.
    I am curious as to what setting should I set to to export a movie file from final cut express HD. I've exported a short quicktime movie clip but it doesn't look as sharp. Could someone help me.

    For DVD, export as Quicktime Movie NOT Quicktime Conversion.
    You can drop the resulting QT file into iDVD or into Compressor if you are using DVD Studio Pro.
    If you have chapter markers, make sure to select Chapter Markers in the export submenu.
    Bear in mind that iDVD has a limitation of two hours; even if your movie is exactly two hours you will run into probs cause iDVD counts its menus, themes etc as part of that total running time.
