I need help accessing my final cut movie.

Okay, so I've been at college working on a final cut project, and I was almost done, but then I came home.
I made the file in the latest final cut express, and now I'm trying to open the file in final cut pro 4.5
However, when I try to open it, it inexplicably closes final cut pro.
Any suggestions?
Is there some program like a final cut reader or something I could use just to export the file?
thanks.

Can Final Cut Express export to XML? This is your best route if this is possible.
Also bear in mind that FCP 4.5 is very old and some of the features you are using with FCE may not be available.

Need help setting up final cut pro

I'm using a Sony Handycam HDR-SR11 for my videos and I need to know what to set the program up under. please help!!

You need at least FCP 6 to be able to use the camera at all.
AVCHD footage can be transferred using the Log and Transfer window in Final Cut Pro.
Once you have transferred your footage, you can edit using an appropriate Apple
Intermediate Codec or Apple ProRes 422 codec Easy Setup.
You can transfer AVCHD footage to your scratch disk using the Log and Transfer
window in Final Cut Pro. During transfer, you can choose whether the Log and
Transfer window transcodes your footage to the Apple Intermediate Codec or the
Apple ProRes 422 codec.
Important: Although it is possible to copy AVCHD files directly to your scratch disk,
Final Cut Pro won’t recognize these files. You must use the Log and Transfer window
to transfer and transcode AVCHD footage.
For more information, in the FCP Menu select Help>HD and Broadcast Formats where you will find a section describing how to work with AVCHD.

NEED HELP Deciding. new final cut and a powerpc4

I have a power mac G4 and I want to know will the new final cut package work on it? My pc has a radeon 9000 pro, dual 1.25 processors,, memory 1.25.
i just want to know if final cut and the other programs will work on it. I do not do HD and when i do i will buy another but for Sd is this ok to run and buy the new fc.
thanks everyone who can help

I'd think you will be able to run FCS 2. Your computer is above all of the minimum specs, only wild card here is your graphics card. It has enough VRAM ... just not listed in the compatible cards. Bet it works OK though. Look at the Motion and Color minimums. FCP will work without a hitch in any event, and so should compressor, LiveType, and DVD SP. You could upgrade it if you find it lacking but I'd give it a go with the card you have to see if you're OK first.

I need help with my Final Cut Express HD

When I click on Final Cut Express HD file, it is saying I have an error and it will open, why is this happening? It was working before and now it is not.

There is absolutely no way anyone can know what is causing the problem unless you give full details of your computer setup, what you have been doing etc. etc.
It's like telling a doctor you are not feeling well and giving him (or her) no more information.
The only possible advice with so little to go on would be to Trash the Preferences and if that didn't work, completely UNINSTALL and reinstall FCE:-

Importing a Final Cut Movie to iMovie

Hello to all of you, lately I've been having problems importing a movie made in Final Cut (.mov) to iMovie. The iMovie just freezes in the last part. I do this because I wanted to import it later to iDVD so I could have chapters, created so I could separate the scenes where I wanted not where the machine told me.
This movie was two hours long (24 GB aprox.)
Does anyone how to help me with this?

You should be able to send your Final Cut movie to iDVD without having to use iMovie. You can make your own chapter markers in Final Cut.
If you are not planning to burn to a dual layer DVD, you will have to shorten your movie by a few minutes. Two hours is the maximum total content that you can put onto a single layer DVD, and that includes the iDVD menus. Even if your menus are simple, you will not be able to burn a movie over about 1 hour 57 minutes. Dual layer DVDs can hold twice as much as single, so you should be ok if your drive can burn dual layers.
But now, since you already have the movie into iMovie, to get it to work, try exporting it as QuickTime Full Quality. You will need enough hard drive space to do this, since you will be creating a duplicate of your movie. If you have an external drive, have it saved to that drive.
Then, open a new iMovie project, drag the new quicktime movie into it, shorten it by a couple of minutes if you need to, and create your chapter markers. Close iMovie. Open a new iDVD project, drag in the iMovie made with the qt movie.
Should burn fine.

I did that already it it only burned one section of the project. How do I export a master file? Can i just save it on the computer then take it to IDVD? Thank you so much for helping me!

I need to reinstall my Final Cut Express. I have a version of 3.5 and then an upgrade to 4. Somehow I have managed to mislay the serial No for 3.5 so cannot install. Does anyone know how I can resolve this.

If version 4 is an upgrade only, you will have to have the serial number of the 3.5 full version.
If you can't find it try contacting Apple with your proff of purchase, they may be able to help.

Problem Burning Final Cut Movie Using Autoplay Feature

I exported a Quicktime movie I made from Final Cut Pro. I wanted to burn my DVD without having the menu at the beginning, so I dragged my movie (from the "Media" link) into the autoplay box in the map view. It seems to work well-the preview shows the movie has been imported. However, after burning the DVD I get no response from my DVD player, or two other players I've used. I get error messages and the DVD does not play automatically.
When I go back and import the Final Cut movie into a DVD theme, not using the autoplay box, and burn the DVD everything turns out fine! I cannot figure out why it doesn't work when I drag the movie into the autoplay box, but works great if I import the movie from File>Import>Video.
Not sure if this matters, but when I exported my Quicktime movie from Final Cut I did not make the movie "self-contained." Any help on this would be great!

Hello Wade,
you should always create a disk image from your iDVD project. That way you can test it with DVD Player before actually burning to disc and rule out burn errors by burning at slow speed with DU.
Not sure if this matters, but when I exported my Quicktime movie from Final Cut I did not make the movie "self-contained."
That may well be one of the problems. If you do a search on the FCP board, you'll find that most experienced users recommend exporting as self-contained.
I'd suggest exporting a self contained QT movie from your timeline, then creating a disk image.
hope this helps

Need help accessing the router web page. I have been tol...

Need help accessing the router web page. I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range. I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins). Didn't work.
thanks

What router are you using? Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS (not the WRT54GS).
You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Exporting Final Cut Movie Frame as High Resolution Photo

Hello everyone,
Is there a way to take a frame in a final cut movie and export it as a high resolution photo? My supervisor has taken some great video footage and would like to use parts of it to make a calendar. I've tried exporting in quicktime, but the highest resolution I get is 72 dpi.
Even if there's a 3rd party program that will do this if Final Cut won't, please let me know. Thank you!

There are any number of up-rez tools for Photoshop that do a pretty good job of creating pixels where none exist. Simply resampling at a larger size/pixel count often creates acceptable results. But, as stated, there are only a limited number of pixels available: whatever you shot with. If you shot with a fabulous high def (not HDV) camera, you might have as many as 1080x760 some odd pixels.

What is Final Cut Movie anyways?

Hello guys,
lately, I am having problems with my videos exported as Final Cut Movie.
They work fine on my own machine, but they don't play on my friend's computers, even on brand new iMac with QuickTime 7 installed.
QT refuses to open the file. File's icon on their desktop does not show QT logo, but when I right click for file info, it says: File type - Quick Time Movie
So I am wondering, what is Final Cut Movie anyways? Is it true QT file, compatible with QT players worldwide? Or is it just kind of intermediate format, only meant to be converted into some more compatible format?
Thank you so much.

I have created this file by exporting it from Final Cut timeline using: Export as Quick Time Movie. So the file was created by Final Cut.
Yes, it was created by FCP so it will have an FCP icon. But you can change the default opening application to QuickTime Player in the Finder's 'Get Info' window.
But even then, as David S. has stated, that says nothing about the codec used to make the file.
If, when you exported from FCP you made a self-contained movie and did NOT "Recompress All Frames" then the codec used will be the same codec as used in your FCP Sequence. So if you were working in a DV Sequence, the codec used to create the movie will also be QuickTime DV (aka QuickTime DV/DVCPro).
If you made a reference movie by the same method, it will also be the same codec, but won't play on any other system without the original media and render files.
In any event, exporting a QuickTime Movie by the above method will create an identical copy of what you have in the Sequence. But it won't play on any other system without the proper codec installed on that system.
Is it true QT file, compatible with QT players worldwide?
This is a misunderstanding of what a QuickTime file actually is. The ubiquitous QuickTime Movie (.mov) is merely a container and the audio and video streams contained within could have been made from any number of codecs. The same is true on the Windows side of things with the .AVI file type. Unless the codec used to create the file is installed on the viewing system, the file will not play.

Final cut movie file dependency?

I'm hoping someone can explain to me how exactly "final cut express movie files" work. I've read that they're just .mov files, and I know that if I change what program they're set to open with they show up as "quicktime movie files" instead; what's confusing me though is that I thought they were independent of the project file, render files, etc but when I transferred several to another computer (having created them by exporting to quicktime in FCE), now only one of them will play (in quicktime - this computer doesnt have FCE). On one computer I've tried, quicktime just hangs, and on another, the file opens but it's only audio. Now one of them won't even play on the computer it was created on. I also have an iDVD project that references one of these movies, and opening that project file I get an error that it's searching for a referenced file - NOT the final cut movie file itselef, but apperenetly something that file is referencing (I'm not on that computer now so can't give the exact message but it's something with "Seq-1" in it as I recall). I may have also gotten that error opening one of the movies in quicktime, I can't remember anymore...
But it really seems these final cut movie files are referencing something - is that how it's supposed to be?? I have some I've made from previous projects that work just fine totally independently (I've deleted everything else from those projects). Any idea what's going on this time?
I'm using both FCE HD and FCE version 1 - the only movie that seems to be working independently was exported from version 1, but the others were from HD. Sorry I don't have more details about the errors, I'll try to post more later when I'm at home.
Thanks in advance!

It is a regular .mov file. It's just that it is dependent on its Project and its Render files
and also, just purely out of curiosity, what would have happened to that render file that's missing on the computer the movie was edited on? I haven't deleted any render files, did it somehow just disappear?? Thanks!
I have found that Render Files seem to get lost. Whether they are deleted in some way or it's just that FCE can't find them, I don't know.
As far as opening the FCE Project is concerned, you can easily re-render to replace any missing Render Files, but I don't like Reference QT Movies (the Dependent ones) - see my recent post at:
