Imovie and final cut

hi
i have i movie hd, and final cut express2. i have not been able to find a way to capture in final cut, but is it possible to capture in imovie, compress it to a quicktime file through "share" in the file menu, then edit it in final cut?

Yes, it is.
But you must be careful about some points:
- this approach has 2 disadvantages: 1st you lose the timecodes (FCE does record them, iMovie does not); 2nd you have to render audio in FCE, because FCE file format is different from iMovie exported files.
Either or both points may be relevant or not to you, depending on your editing style and project requirements.
- from iMovie you must export to QuickTime Full Quality, and NOT compress the movie, to avoid quality losses.
I suggest you to read this thread about: Capturing in iMovie vs FCE
Then: why are not able to capture in FCE: missing instructions, or errors of some kind ? This is the best way to go, if you can make it work.

  • IMovie and Final Cut Pro unexpectedly when importing 720p MPEG files

    I'm running iMovie/FinalCutPro on Yosemite. Every time I try and import a 720p MP4 with 60FPS both programs quit unexpectedly while generating the thumbnails. The files I am using have run/imported without any problems into Quicktime, VLC, Adobe Premiere and my brother's iMovie on his Macbook Pro machine.
    What I have done in no particular order:
    1. Cache/preferences cleaning
    2. Re-install iMovie
    3. Delete all codecs except AIC and AppleMPEG2
    4. Install codecs (Perian, divx, xvid)
    5. Delete Flash Player
    6. Repair permissions
    7. Repair hard drive in safe mode
    8. Delete iPhoto database, tinker with GarageBand
    9. I logged in as a guest user and the problem persists
    10. 540p MP4 with 30FPS and that had no problem importing into iMovie
    I believe I have isolated the issue to a quicktime engine that is either corrupted or defective that is causing both iMovie and Final Cut Pro to crash. I could use Adobe Premiere or another machine, but I prefer iMovie and would like it to work on my machine. The only solution I can think of is reinstalling the OS, but I really am against that.
    Let me know if you have any other ideas. Please see the Problem Report below:

  • Flip mino or flip ultra HD to use in imovie and final cut express

    i am contemplating either flip mino HD, Flip ultra HD or creative vado HD. Which one has a good video quality and design style? Is it necessary for 2 hrs movie or actually i like the flip mino coz its slimmer but only takes 1 hr video. By the way, What kind of format the flip camcorder will save as coz someone says its .avi but some says Mp4 format? If in Mp4 format, is the quality still good? most of the time i will shoot in ultra hi definition setting. I will use imovie and final cut for edit and does the Flip compatible to imovie and Final cut? How about creative vado? any recommendation?
    But most likely i will get the flip.

    The Flip cameras are easy to use and pocketable.
    Unfortunately it is their very simplicity that drastically limits what they can do.
    They are OK for someone who wants to take daft pictures of their friends and post them on YouTube but for serious film-making they are non-starters.
    They record low quality highly compressed video onto an internal memory.When you have shot your 60 minutes of video you can’t use the camera any more until you get it to a computer and download it.
    The lens is a small aperture fixed focus with no zoom.
    Actually to be correct there is a 2x digital zoom, but as we all know, digital zooms are a total waste of time and only reduce the quality still further. You can get the same effect by enlarging your picture 2x in the computer - not to be recommended.
    So what at first sight, to the uninitiated looks like a very cheap camera, quickly turns out to be a very expensive toy.
    Much better to buy a proper camera (which won't cost all that much more) like Skalicki suggests.

    FC/e is based upon the Quicktime-engine; so, on 'Export using QT', you'll get all codecs & settings.

    due to sheer popularity, YouTube became a 'standard' - I'm happy with the convenience, YT and the 'embed'-code offers - excellent quality, automatic adjusted to the watchers connection&hardware.
    my export settings are 720p, h264, 6MBit/sec - gives a - imho! - superb quality.
    (example of a 'screen-test' from my latest project CLICK )
    for creating so-called 'flash video'/.flv, you need 3rd party apps.
    Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
    .. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
    if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ...

    Do you mean that the old version of iMovie (which version?) worked until you installed the FCP trial?
    Note that you can only transfer projects from the latest version of iMovie (10) to FCP 10.1

  • I have extended video footage taken on my ipad that I need to burn to dvd.  Tried imovie and final cut.  Final Cut rendering time was extremely long. What is easiest way to accomplish my goal?

    I am a video technology teacher and coach at a high school in NJ.  I have footage of a basketball scrimmage that I need to get from my iPad onto a DVD.  I tried importing it into iMovie without success.  I have imported it into Final Cut Pro but the rendering time makes the process very cumbersome with 7/8 hours of rendering time to create a quick time file to then use with iDVD.  Is there a quicker way to accomplish this.

    The Mac does not come with a Blu-ray burner. So you would be burning a Blu-ray compatible file to a standard DVD-5 or DVD-9. Neither of which are ideal for authoring Blu-ray content.
    Do an exhaustive search online about Blu-ray authoring and disk creation. This is not something for the hobbyist video creator (and I say hobbyist in the sense that you're not creating thousands of copies for mass distribution, so no one take offense.)
    Blu-ray is expensive and requires a lot of planning and prep to do it right. But you can't burn an official Blu-ray disc on a Mac as they stand. And, Compressor doesn't burn discs, it only creates files. DVD Studio Pro would be the app that would burn the Blu-ray disc, and DVDSP has not been upgraded since long before Blu-ray came on the scene.

  • HDC-SD9, iMovie 7.1.2, QuickTime 7.5, and Final Cut Pro

    After I read the post, I tested it on my Mac. I can safely say that I can import videos from HDC-SD9 using iMovie and Final Cut Pro now.
    Update to QuickTime 7.5 and iMovie 7.1.2 to make this camera work with the Mac.
    It seems to be working with Final Cut Pro too.

  • I have a fairly new iMac wI now have iMovie events and Final Cut pro events that are duplicates.  Does that mean that all my video is copied onto my hard dive twice?

    If I have video in imovie and final cut pro X, does that mean there are two copies of the video, one for each piece of SW?  If so, how do I get rid of the imovie events and keep only the Final Cut Pro X events (video)?  I don't want multiple copies of the same video stored on the hard drive.

    If you import to FCP directly from the Camera or from a camera archive, you would likely import choosing Optimized Files which would go to a FCP event that is in ProRes 422 codec. This would be in addition to your iMovie Event which would import using the Apple Intermediate Codec. So you would have two copies of the same information. An AIC copy and a larger ProRes copy.
    However, if you use FILE/IMPORT/iMOVIE EVENT LIBRARY, FCP will not duplicate the event files from iMovie. It will treat them as referenced files, and will point to the iMovie Event files in the reference. So there is no duplication. You will be editing Apple Intermediate Codec files in FCP.
    However, FCP will create Event folders. In addition to the reference information, these will contain thumbnail files that are compatible with FCP, stabilization and analysis files that are compatible with FCP, as well as any intermediate render files that are associated with the Event.
    So in this case, there is no duplication of the large event files, but there is some duplication of the small thumbnail files.
    I have several terabytes of iMovie Events, which are now all available in FCP. Believe me, I would know if they were duplicated because all my disks would be full.

  • IMovie nor Final Cut Pro will import video from camcorder

    Both iMovie 10.0.5 and the Final Cut Pro Trial I just downloaded (to test before purchasing) will not import my movie.  The movie plays on my camcorder and it plays in both iMovie and Final Cut but when I click to import, a message appears in the top right corner that reads:  NO DATA FROM DEVICE.
    Once again, the movie plays on the camera AND plays on the screen.  But there is nothing recorded into an event and no file / data transferred to the computer.
    I searched the support forums and tried a freeware named DEBUT.  It worked but the video playback was very poor, scratchy and blurry.  
    Processor 3.5 GHz  Intel Core i7
    Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    OSX 10.9.5
    Camera Sony DCR-TRV460  (8MM, Digial 8, Hi8 tapes)
    Firewire 4 pin to Firewire 800 cable, into Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor, into iMac.
    How do I get these old tapes into iMovie or Final Cut for editing?

    I don't think I can help with your Digital 8 directly into iMovie 10.0.5 or FCPX, but try a few work-arounds.
    Try copying iMovie'09 from old to new Mac via a memory stick or external HD. It is only 250 MB.
    This still may not work on the new Mac as it may be an issue with Digital 8/Mavericks combination. Any way if you can get iMovie 09 onto new Mac ,give it a try.
    OR
    Buy an external HD and transfer some data onto this to free up some space on your MacBook.
    Then use your MacBook /iMovie 09 to import to Events onto your external HD.
    Connect external HD to new Mac and import the  DV files in Media of iMovie 09 into FCPX.
    A word of caution!
    When the files are imported into FCPX from the Media in iMovie 09 check to see if files are copied or just referenced.
    If they are copied then you can delete them from iMovie 09, if they are referenced then you must not delete from 09.
    You can normally tell: if copied then it takes a while to transfer,If referenced then done almost immediately.
    My guess is ,they will be copied, but check.
    The above is a bit messy but may get you moving with your new Mac.
    Buying a new Mac is an expensive way of overcoming an overloaded HD on the MacBook. Cheaper to buy an external HD.
    This may be useful;
    How can i move or copy projects and events to an external drive? (Version 9 and earlier)
    Someone may be able to suggest a fix for Digital 8 into FCPX directly.

  • Difficulty importing Video from camera to either iMovie or Final Cut Exp

    Hi I am looking for some advice on importing film to imovie or final cut express. I was able to hook up the Canon HD camera to the my new Macbook Pro and import a game film to both iMovie and final Cut express last week. This week same camera and the movie runs but Imovie and Final Cut shut off almost immediately or if I use manual setting the video runs but nothing is captured?
    I have thought that I may have changed settings on the camera but I do not actually do the filming. We have been able to download continuously to an older Mac using a newer camera from the same manufacturer Canon also HD.

    Your camcorder must be set to the correct output mode. On some camcorders, this is called VTR or VCR mode, but not all camcorders use the same terminology, so check the documentation that came with your device. On some camcorders you must set the output to DV mode or HDV mode, depending on whether the content is standard (DV) or high definition (HDV).
    If all was working correctly I would unplug everything (camcorder wise) and clean out you plist and caches. See http://uimfaq.us/b3aANe then give it another go.

  • Canon FS11, FS10, FS100 and Final Cut Studio 2

    I was wondering if anyone has tried downloading footage from the Canon FS10 or FS11 into Final Cut Pro 6? They use flash memory SDHC cards. They are the standard definition versions of the Canon HF 10 and 100.
    I know they are not listed as compatible, but thought since they are using SDHC cards that maybe they do work. I have read in the forum discussions that people who have the Canon FS10 and 11 and are able to edit the footage easily with iMovie 08.
    Does anyone know if iMovie is able to read the footage from the F11's flashdrive, does that mean Final Cut Pro 6 will do it as well or not necessarily? I would like to use my Final Cut Studio 2 to edit the footage.
    Has anyone tried these out with any success?
    If so what did you think of the cameras as a whole. There is not much out there about them yet.
    Thanks!

    +"Does anyone know if iMovie is able to read the footage from the F11's flashdrive, does that mean Final Cut Pro 6 will do it as well or not necessarily? I would like to use my Final Cut Studio 2 to edit the footage."+
    iMovie and Final Cut Pro 6 could very well differ in the types of footage, they can read. If say, you had updated iMovie recently to the newest version it could have had increased capability in reading from a SDHC card. Also I use Final Cut Studio (5.1.4) and it seems to read just about any type of camera I hook up to it so I don't see why Final Cut Pro 6 wouldn't read this card, have you tried other cards? But yes, Final Cut Pro should be able to do anything that iMovie is able to do compatibility wise, unless iMovie is newer then your Final Cut version.
    +"what did you think of the cameras as a whole"+
    if you are referring to Canon cameras, then I have used a wide variety of them including the GL2 which I thought was a fabulous camera. Canon, in my opinion, is the best type of cameras you can find on the market and available to the general public.
    Hope this helps,

  • Multiple Color Screens in iMovie or Final Cut Pro?

    So I am doing some video editing for a project at school. I am using a green screen as a background. I wrapped some things in blue duct-tape in order to blue-screen them. Is there anyway I can use both a blue screen and a green screen in one clip? I have iMovie and Final Cut Pro. I am new to Final Cut Pro so I am not 100% sure about all of its features. If these programs cannot, are there any movie editing programs that do? Thanks for your time. My goal is to have a green screened background while blue screening fake swords and stuff to make them look "light-sabery".

    does your hardware fullfill the min. specs. for any of both apps...?
    and, why not FCE4 .. 199$?
    socalled Ken Burns Effect/KB is done more intutive (=convenient) in iM.. have a look: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie-making-29
    soundtracks.. 'options' are limited in iM08, but as owner of iM08 you're allowed a free download of iMHD6.. which offers 2.5 audio tracks..
    zoom-in is part of KB..
    fade=transition .. iM08, iMHD6, FCP/E...
    +mix video with a still in one corner or vica versa+ no in iMHD6, yepp in iM08, for sure in FCE/P
    what is your delivery media...? DVD quality is in iM08 less than in others apps.. therefor, integration into .mac is in iM08 better..
    consider usage of a 3rd party, specialized app as Photo2Movie or PhotoMagico..

  • IMovie vs Final Cut Express and Pinnacle Studio

    Before I had the Imac (6 months now) for my video or photos I use Pinnacle Studio 11. Now I want to update the IMac to Leopard with ILife 09. Now I also want to use Final Cut Express for video editing. However since I seen the introduction of IMovie 09 I'm not sure which investment to make.
    My question to you: with my experience with Pinnacle will Imovie 09 apply for video editing or should I also get the FCE. And what about my projects done in Pinnacle Studio.
    Thanks in advance for all your reactions.
    Ron

    I migrated from using a PC and Pinnacle Studio 11 to a MacBook Pro and Final Cut Express about 9 months ago. I had no previous experience with a Mac, so it has been a very steep learning curve for me. But I have been studying the bright minds on this forum for awhile and have also been taking advantage of various Final Cut tutorials on the web. I eventually stopped regretting leaving Pinnacle behind and I have come to love Final Cut and the greater creative control it offers. As for iMovie, I found it a little too basic for what I want, but it may be suitable for your needs.
    As far as your Pinnacle projects are concerned, finish them up and then immerse yourself in Final Cut. I think you'll be glad you did.
