  • Can you import iMovie '06 projects to Final Cut Express 4?

    The just released FCE 4 toutes ability to import iMovie '08 projects. I don't like iMovie '08 - all my projects are in '06 - can I import them the the new FCE?

    I imported a small '06 project to iMovie '08. Well, the only thing that was imported were the video and still images. Not imported - music tracks, transitions, titles.

  • Import iMovie 11 files to final cut express

    I just bought Final Cut Express yesterday, the main reason being that it claimed to import iMovie files into it. I have iMovie 11 and whenever I try to import the files to FCE, it says can't import due to critical error. What should I do? My only reason for buying it was because I can then better my iMovie projects!

    Hi
    Its a drag to find out later that something doesn't work the way "I" imagined.
    Isn't it just the way Life is ? There will never be a product that thought about all
    even things to come (eg new Camera formats)
    (only immune system in your Body has evolved such options - to try to prevent You from modern products
    but this is very exeptional)
    Yours - also frustrated when I thought I got it - just to find I didn't
    eg Animations and Persons in iMovie'11 - that was something compleatly different

  • Correct way of importing an iMovie 6 movie into Final Cut Express?

    Hi,
    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    Any correct way to import an iMovie 6 HD movie into Final Cut Express for further editing?
    I tried.
    1. I Exported the iMovie, at Full Quality and it made a Quicktime version of that movie.
    2. I then Imported this Quicktime version into Final Cut Express.
    3. The audio was smooth, but at regular intervals, the video freezes for a second (and then moves on).
    4. The movie plays smoothly back in its original iMovie incarnation and in its Quicktime incarnation. Only in Final Cut Express is there this intermittent freezing. Stop and start.
    5. I have Final Cut Express 3.5.1 and iMovie 6 HD.
    Thank you,
    - Ross

    "Full Quality" QuickTime export from iMovie gives you a DV stream which will need rendering in FCE. Rather than "Full Quality," choose "Expert Settings," and then the following:
    Video
    DV-DVCPRO - NTSC (assuming you're in USA)
    Sound
    48kHz
    16-bit

  • Iam trying to import a short video in final cut express and I'm getting this error... File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.  How do I solve this problem? The video is on my desktop it's an mpg.

    Iam trying to import a short video in final cut express and I'm getting this error... File Error: 1 file(s) recognized. 0 access denied, 1 unknown. How do I solve this problem?  The video is on my desktop and it's an mpg file. Please help me 

    Get a copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert your MPG file to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).  In FCE, select one of the setups that uses AIC that best matches your clip (say, 1920x1080i60).  Create a new sequence, then import the converted file.
    Note that if your MPG file is actually MPEG2 you will also need the QuickTime MPEG2 Component in addition to MPEG Streamclip. 
    What was the source of the MPG file?  How about if you open it in QuickTime, then do Window > Show Movie Inspector.  Tell us what it says for codec/compression, frame size & frame rate.

  • How to Use iMovie Projects in Final Cut Express

    I just upgraded to Final Cut Express because of the feature of being able to start a project in iMovie and then finish it in FCE. The steps look simple in the manual File / Open / etc. But when I do it, it tells me File Error: Wrong Type. Is there something I am doing wrong or some other format for the iMovie projects to make them work?

    FCE 4.0.1 is the current version of FCE. There is nothing newer.
    A new version of Final Cut Studio was released last year; perhaps it can import iMovie11 projects. You would have to try it to find out. If there is an Apple store nearby, copy your Movies folder to a portable hard drive, take it with you, and ask to try it out with Final Cut Pro on one of the Macs in the store. Most stores will let you do this.
    Be aware, however, that even if the import works, there are many limitations: Transitions become cross-dissolves. Cropping, Ken Burns effects, color adjustments, titles, green screen clips, PiP clips, voiceovers, sound effects & music tracks are not exported in the XML file.

  • Imported song "skips" when using final cut express.  please help!!!

    hey everybody. i'm editing a music video in final cut express 4.0. i'm very new to this, so please forgive me for using incorrect terminology, or in most cases, no terminology. here we go...
    i'm having this problem where the song i imported into fce keeps, for lack of a better word, skipping. the song is an mp3 file. the song plays all the way through, and it doesn't stop when it skips. but every so often, there will be this glitch, where you can hear the music screw up. when played in itunes or on a cd, this song plays fine, so it's not the mp3. what gives?
    i thought it might be related to the audio from my video tracks. at first, i was just bringing the audio levels from the video all the way down. but then i decided to try erasing it to see if that would help. it didn't.
    thank you so much for reading and taking the time to share your valuable knowledge! take care, everyone.

  • How do you import music from itunes to Final Cut Express 4?

    I tried dragging and dropping the file from itunes to Final Cut Express, but that doesn't work, so I tried to import a file using the "import file" and that didn't work either. Then I found the original file using finder, and dragged it into Final Cut Express, which did put the file there, and I can hear the audio in the sample player, but when I try to play it in the sequence, this weird beeping happens. Any help?

    The beeping is relating to audio you have placed into your sequence that doesn't match your sequence settings, therefore needing to be rendered.
    Here is an article for iTunes to FCE http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93165 and here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93463 that should aid with addressing your current audio woes.
    Enjoy.

  • Created project using Final Cut Express 4, can I open it with Final Cut Pro

    Created a short video using Final Cut Express 4, will my teacher be able to open this project up with Final Cut Pro???

    Depends on exactly which version of FCP your teacher is using.

  • Importing iTunes music on to Final Cut Express

    I have found that some songs will import just fine into Final cut and others wont import at all. I dont understand why some files are protected. I bought all the songs in my iTunes so why cant I import them into Final Cut Express??

    Material that's DRM protected cannot be used in pro apps.

  • Probleme beim Öffnen eines iMovie-HD-Projekts in Final Cut Express

    Hallo!
    Ich bin ein absoluter Neuling im Final Cut Express und möchte meine Filme von iMovie HD dort öffnen. Leider erhalte ich hier die Fehlermeldung "Die Projektdatei kann nicht geöffnet werden".
    Vorher erhalte ich noch die Meldungen "Projekt lesen" und "XML-Dateien werden importiert". Dann gebe ich den neuen Namen des Projekts ein. Anschließend erfolgt die Fehlermeldung.
    Der iMovie HD-Film ist rund 1:13 h lang und beinhaltet auch Audio.
    Was kann ich tun, damit ich fertige iMovie-HD-Filme unverändert in Final Cut Express öffnen und anschließend bearbeiten kann?
    Ich danke vorab für eure Hilfe.
    Mortima

    Wenn ich es gut verstanden habe, haben sie bereits ein Kompletter Film in iMovie gemacht. Und bekommen sie die Fehler wenn Sie dieser Film in FCE "offnen" mochte. Versuchen Sie mal dieser Film zu importieren (statt zu offnen).
    Also:
    Command + N = neues Projekt
    Comand + I = importieren
    Leider keine Garantie das es gelingt, aber "offnen" gibt jedenfalls dieser Fehlermeldingen wie Sie bescchrieben haben.

  • Moving project between Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro back and forth

    We are buying new Macs to our studio. One will be main editing suite with Final Cut Studio 2.
    Another Mac mini will have Final Cut Express.
    I do understand that you cannot open your FCE project in FCS, but can you do it the other way around, using the Mac Mini as "offline suite"?

    OK, so far, soo good. But can I open a FCP project in FCE?
    (Scenario: I start working in FCE, continue in FCP and return to FCE).
    I understand if some effects, etc won't show up in FCE.

  • 720p25 projects with Final Cut Express 3.5

    Hello. I wonder if I'm missing something, but I can't seem to figure out how to create 720p25 sequences with Final Cut Express 3.5. Is this possible at all?

    There's no way to create a 720p25 sequence in FCE. 720p30 yes, but not 720p25. I don't even know of a workaround for this in FCE. FCPro can do it.
