I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects

I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects. When I select import and then either files or folders, I am able to navigate to the drive where the media is being stored, but then when I scroll to locate the files or folders the drive disappears. This problem began as an intermittent problem, but now I cannot import any files or folders. This problem started when I upgraded my operating system to Yosemite version 10.10.2 on my mid-2010 Mac Pro running with 16 GB of memory and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. Can anyone help me figure out and solve this serious problem? Thanks!

Then just drag the files/folders from your hard drive into FCP.  Don't use the IMPORT option...just drag and drop.
The problem started when you installed an OS that doesn't support FCP 7.  So if you want things to work smoothly, it's best to go back to an OS that did support FCP 7. Yosemite was written without taking FCP 7 functionality in mind, so it isn't fully functional. It might not do one thing for someone...but works for you in that respect. But then you can't do something else. The ways it doesn't work is always random.  Or it might work great for some people, because they don't use functions that might no longer work....so they don't notice it.

  • Importing sound files in Quicktime into Final Cut Pro

    This is my first project on a new macbook osx 10.4.8, and newly installed final cut 5.1. For some reason when I import quicktime files, I'm required to render, where there shouldn't be a need. Does anyone know why, or how I can fix this? I'm not ready to render yet, I'm just starting the project and wouldn't even have enough space to store the rendered files. Help!
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to the forum!
    First off, your question is a rather common one for those just starting out with FCP. It's covered very well in the manual and a simple search of the forum would have provided you an answer very quickly.
    Essentially, ANY clip you place in your FCP Sequence that doesn't match your Sequence settings will need to be rendered. In all likelihood, your Sequence settings call for audio at 48lhz, 16 bit and the clip you're importing is something else. For example, CD audio is 44.1khz, 16 bit. You can usually convert most formats and settings using QT Pro. Do that BEFORE you import the file into FCP.

  • How do I import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7. Thanks

    How do I import or export iLife music into Final Cut Pro 7? Thanks.

    Locate the .caf file you want to use in FCP in the Finder.  Normally, iLife sound files will be in Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/(subfolder).
    Open the file on SoundTrack Pro, the go to File->Save a Copy As.  In the Save As window that will open, navigate to where you want to save the file, then near the bottom of that window, use the drop-down File Format menu to choose AIFF.  Set the bit depth to 16-Bit Integer and the Sampling Rate to 48000 hz.
    Import the resulting AIFF file into your FCP project.

    Hi:
    If you own the material rights, you can use MPEG Streamclip to reencode to an editable format like DV.
    Hope that helps !

  • Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi,
    I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
    But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
    Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

    Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.

  • How can i get a tv show clip into final cut pro x?

    say i download a tvshow clip from itunes, can i get that episode in FCP X?

    Since you own the copyright, then you (or whoever works for you) must have a copy of the original master. Just use that. It's going to be much better quality than the compressed version you uploaded to iTunes.

  • Can I import .MTS files from an external hard drive into Final Cut Pro X?

    Luis,
    Just to clarify one point…in order for Streamclip to convert the MTS I believe a plug-in like the AVCCAM QuickTime importer from Panasonic needs to be installed. (Credit David McClain over at the FCS boards for that info.)

  • 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?

  • Can you import Quicktime movies into Final Cut Pro X

    I have a one week old Macbook Pro retina which replaces my old iMac 24 with Snow Leopard. After my purchase, I found out that Mountain Lion will not support FCE 4. The problem is that I have a lot of unfinished FCE projects and a lot of video clips that were imported using Final Cut Express 4 "Log and transfer" on my external drive. I was going to purchase Final Cut Pro X and edit them on  my new computer but first I was going to convert them to Quicktime videos. So my question is, can I open Ouicktime movies for editing in Final Cut Pro X? Or perhaps someone has aneasier way for me to achieve what I am trying to do.
    Thanks in advance........

    all of the videos that I imported using "Log and transfer" will only open in FCE 4.
    Do you mean the media in the capture scratch folder? These don't open in any other application? Not in the QuickTime player?
    If you mean the FCE project files, that's correct they will only open FCE4 or FCP7.

    mpeg streamclip and DVDxDV will convert DVD VOB files into workable DV files.
    Mpeg streamclip is free, and can be found at versiontracker.com
    DVDxDv costs $25, and can be found at dvdxdv.com

  • I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.

    Like the title says...
    I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.
    I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut.  I have had no luck.
    I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
    I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible.  I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
    However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
    Thank You for the Help

  • Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

    It doesn't seem to work on mine, when I go to command: the export button is in grey, whereas all the others (import; customize) are black and can be actionned. Is this a restriction in the trial version or is there a way to activate export?
    Thanks
