I can't import final cut pro projects into FCPX after updating.

I've come back to my computer after the holidays with the newest update of FCPX and now my library and media have disapeared out of the app. I can't seem to import the project files into the program either.
Any assistance would be appriciated.
Regards,
Alex

You need to update your projects and events in the File menu.

    How do you import final cut pro projects into imovie?
    (like you create a project in final cut but i want to save it, and import it into imovie..

    Hi -
    Mr. Ross is right, there is no direct way to export your project with all it's elements into iMovie.
    If, on the other hand, you have a completed sequence in FCP that you want to export as a finished element, then import into iMovie for you to re-edit or apply titles, music, etc. you would:
    In FCP:
    Click on the Sequence Icon you want to export in your browser.
    Go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie. Give your movie a name a navigate to where you want it stored. Make sure you choose Settings: Current Settings and have the Make Movie Self Contained checked. Click Save.
    Close FCP and open iMovie.
    In iMovie:
    Go to the menu File > Import > Movies and navigate to the movie you just exported from FCP. Choose if you want your movie imported in it's original size, etc.
    Click Import. Your movie will be imported into iMovie.
    Note that using this method only gives you only the elements that made up your FCP sequence, so this may not give you the flexibility you need.
    Hope this helps.

  • Converting a Final Cut Pro project into one Final Cut Express HD can read..

    Is there any way I can convert a final cut pro project into something i can open in an earlier version of final cut, namely final cut express HD?

    Tim,
    Unfortunately you can not go from FCP to FCExpress. You can go backwards from say FCP7 to FCP6 or FCP 5 using XML's. The XML version depends on which FCP you have.

  • Importing Final Cut Pro Projects

    I know this might be a very silly question but -- when watching the tutorial for DVD Studio pro5, they imported a Motion Project that had not been rendered, it in turn got rendered when burning it to DVD. Is this possible with Final Cut Pro Projects?? Can I take a project or sequence and import it into DVD Studio without rendering or exporting it??
    In other words can DVD Studio use the Final Cut Pro Project just as a reference as it does with Motion or does it need to be one file??
    Anyone out there who can help me please?? Thank-you

    You cannot import FCP project. Just mov files, or m2v files. I believe only Motion works as you said.

  • Import Final Cut Pro Project?

    Hi there,
    I work in Final Cut Pro and need to hand off a project to a colleague who only has and works with Final Cut Express. Will it be possible for him to import my FCP file and edit it in Final Cut Express? Any creative workarounds? If not, I will need to buy FCE and just do the whole project that way (though would rather not).
    Thanks!

    Almost no FCP project will open in FCE, certainly no v7 project. Version numbers are very important here. Depending on the content you might be able to do an XML v4 export of a sequence, and a sequence only, and import that into the current version of FCE. You cannot XML an entire project, and whether it will work is entirely dependent on the sequence specifications and content.

  • Can't recover Final Cut Pro project from backup.

    I recently got a new mac and had backed up all my saved data onto an external hard drive with my old one.  When I was setting up my new mac I recovered it from an existing backup (my old computer) and everything seemed to be back to normal.  On my old computer I was in the process of making a video with Final Cut Pro X and made sure that it was backed up onto the external hard drive. On my new mac when I tried to recover it, it appeared as a file that couldn't be opened with FCP. Within FCP it had the video but all of the files were missing.  I started to relink all of the files but there has to be a faster way. 
    How do I recover this file?  Is there a way to just import the backup without having to ever relink files?
    Thanks.

    Are these systems backups (e.g., Time Machine)  or FCP X backups? What version of FCPX and ware they the same on both machines>

  • I can`t start final cut pro x since the latest update lion

    Final Cut pro X is starting but you can`t working with this program since the latest update Lion

    I don't know what 15992 is talking about, the only way FCPX can be installed is with the App Store application on a Mac, which installs the FCPX application (it is a program) into the Applications folder, and puts the Events and Projects folders in the internal drive Movies folder.
    If the user uses FCPX to move events and projects to other drives, FCPX knows it and creates those folders on those drives. Doing a sytem update will have no effect on any of those folders. Russ is right, please provide more details.

  • Final Cut Pro, doesn't launch after updating to 5.1.4.

    Hello there,
    I tried opening an older project with the version 5.1. but it only gave me an GENERAL ERROR 41. Then I downloaded the update to 5.1.4. and the application doesn't event want to launch anymore!!
    What can I do, what else could've gone wrong. Before the update, I was able to open the program, but now not eve that! The logo jumps on the sidebar, the numbers start running on the opening screen, and then it turns it self off again. I already disconnected and reconnected my scratch disks, restarted the computer several time, etc...what else can I try!
    HELP!!

    Trash your preferences.
    You can use a third party tool to do this, such as the venerable <a href="http"//fcprescue.andersholck.com">FCP Rescue or the more feature rich Preferences Manager ... both are free.
    or you can do it yourself
    excepted below:
    Delete the User Preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Final Cut Pro back to its original settings. This will not impact your project files, but you should verify your Scratch Disk location setting after doing this. To reset your Final Cut Pro user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences—the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    Remove the "com.apple.finalcutpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
    Remove the "Final Cut Pro User Data" folder from the Preferences folder.

  • Can't import Final Cut XML file into Premiere Pro CS4 MAC

    Hello,  I'm traying to import FCP Studio 2 XML file into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4for the purpose of then color correcting the project in Adobe After Effects.
    I followed all the rules of exporting XML files from my Final Cut Studio 2 timeline, then closed FCP, opened Adobe Premiere CS4 and when I go to Import option XML file is greyed out.  I can't select the XML file...
    Could  someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Thank you so much

    I'll just say that the high end AE users list I frequent suggests that the more common workflow is to bring AE to FCP for color correction.  Isn't that one of FCP's strengths?
    Also, to the extent that you want to process an FCP project in AE, look for the best way to bring it directly, not through Premiere.  Ask in the AE forum what opinions people have.  Mac and PC types use AE, but my impression is that only a small proportion of those users use Premiere.

  • Importing Final Cut Express project into FCP

    I have just updated frpm FCE to FCP and have a project that I would like to import from FCE to FCP. Can anyone tell me how to do this.
    I can't find instructions in the manual.
    Thanks
    Peter

    Just ctrl-click it and select "Open With...", then choose FCP.
    Beware, however, that you cannot open it in FCE once you've brought it in.

    How can I open Final Cut Express project in Final Cut Pro X?

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

  • Can't Update Old Final Cut Pro Projects

    I use Final Cut Pro for work and just recently updated. I didn't realize that I needed to have all my projects in my "Final Cut Pro Projects" file while updating. I had a lot of my projects in a "Final Cut Pro Projects-Not In Use" file when I updated my Final Cut Pro and now those projects will not update. I didn't have a "Final Cut Pro Projects" file after updating so I created a new one under "Movies" in my Finder and added all the projects to that and Final Cut Pro still won't update them. What am I doing wrong?
    Also, now that I've updated the projects are exporting as .MP4s and my boss wants them as .MOVs again. Is there a way I can change them to that?

    I have been trying to add a screen shot to this reply for the past ten minutes but I keep getting "An error occurred while trying to submit your post. Please try again" So I will try to explain it to you.
    I click the arow on the bottom right hand corner. Then click "Master File..."
    My settings are:
    Format: Computer
    Video codec: H.264 Better Quality
    Resolution: 1920 x 1080
    Audio file format: QuickTime Movie (AAC)
    (don't click Include chapter markers)
    Open with: QuicTime Player (default)
    On the bottom it reads left to right:
    1920 x 1080 | 23.98 fbs   Stereo (L R) | 48 kHz  00:00:04:02   MPEG-4 movie 10.4 MB est.
    Then I click "Next..." and save it to my Desktop and click "Save"
    I hope that makes sence! Sorry the screen shots didn't work!

    I need to burn a Final Cut Pro project onto a DVD. I watched a tutorial but they were using Final cut Pro 10. How do I burn a project just using Final Cut Pro? and can I go through IDVD? ( oh and how can I finalize the project?) Thanks!

  • Importing final cut pro 7 to final cut X using XML

    OK so I just read Apple's new FAQ and it says support for XML is forthcoming. Couldn't someone enterprising individual   just write an app which transforms FCXML from FCP 7 to FCP X XML. There could be some data loss, but better than nothing..

    the black sun wrote:
    But they have said they will not be supporting import of FCP 7 projects. Sad but true.
    Factually incorrect. Sad but true.
    Tell me what is factually incorrect? There is absolutely no mention or commitment to providing any sort of tool to bring in final cut pro 7 projects in any shape or form. They could have said "a limited import tool is being worked on, but will only support a limited feature set, and data loss/changes to your project may occur." But they didn't. Here's the exact quote from Apple's FAQ (emphasis added):
    Can I import projects from Final Cut Pro 7 into Final Cut Pro X?
    Final Cut Pro X includes an all-new project architecture structured around a trackless timeline and connected clips. In addition, Final Cut Pro X features new and redesigned audio effects, video effects, and color grading tools. Because of these changes, there is no way to “translate” or bring in old projects without changing or losing data. But if you’re already working with Final Cut Pro 7, you can continue to do so after installing Final Cut Pro X, and Final Cut Pro 7 will work with Mac OS X Lion. You can also import your media files from previous versions into Final Cut Pro X.

  • Importing Final Cut Express projects

    Hi,
    I cannot see how to importing my older Final Cut Express projects into Premiere Pro CS5. I know this can be done with Final Cut Pro via the XML format, but it seems that FCE does not export to XML. Does anybody know of alternative ways of exchanging data? Maybe, a file converter of any kind?
    Best regards,
    Paolo

    Yes, I have a couple of them, but they have their lives :-)
    I guess I can have their help, as soon as they can. In any case, being independant with this kind of things would be great.
    However, I guess that this conversion is to be done once, since I don't plan to downgrade to FCE again (unless Adobe stops developing Premiere for Mac again, or I end up with no money to buy the upgrades...)
