Imprting a theme from i dvd to final cut 5

i have been trying to make an avi of an i dvd theme to import it into final cut 5. i think there are cool themes. is there any way of doing it?

I do all my capturing with iMovie because FCE wont see my camera. But rather then do the XML share I just go to the Movie folder where the video is captured and drag in the clip that I want.

Transfer video files from a DVD to Final Cut

Hi- I have a couple of personal DVD's that has content I want to capture and edit into a timeline. I would like to capture only portions of each.
Can anyone suggest best method of doing so?
Also, can video files from a DVD playing from a computer be captured in the same computer?
Thankyousomuch, J

Family Videos on DVD into Final Cut Express and external hard drive?

I have family videos that were transferred from video tape to DVD. I now want to get the DVDs into Final Cut express to make movies.
1. I am using mpeg streamclip -- what format is best to save to disk to work with FC express? DV or QT? Other?
2. Is it faster to use an external drive (firewire) or the main hard drive of my computer? I have an iMac (intel, very first one) as well as a recent macbook pro 2.33 GHz core duo)
3. I have an external fantom drive (1 TB) that I had connected to an airport extreme, and used briefly with user login as a central server. I now want to connect this to my iMac, but with some files I get "error code 0" when I try to copy them over, and others will work. I had hoped to keep all of the dVD files which I anticipate will be large on this drive. Anyone know what this means? I do also have a 500 GB G drive which works perfectly, but I suspect is not as fast.
Thanks to anyone who can help. I am new at this and excited about making the movie, but not about the learning curve -- had been proficient with iMovie until the new version came out.
thanks
Paul

I don't know how new you are to Streamclip but there are 2 DVs and the one you want is got via QuickTime as Tom said.
When you drop your DVD files onto Streamclip and go up to the File Menu you will find "Export to QuickTime" and "Export to DV".
The second one, I believe, is for iMovie but for FCE you click "Export to QuickTime" and in the window that opens you alter the "Compression" setting from "Apple Motion JPEG A" to "Apple DV-PAL" or "Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC" as appropriate.
You can usually leave all the other settings alone, click "Make Movie" and wait !

Burning a DVD with Final Cut Pro 10 stops at 95%, why ?

Burning a DVD with Final Cut Pro X stops at 95%, why ?

Stops completely? Mine stopped at 95% for quite a few minutes then finished. This is usually the time in the process where the lead out is being burned and it will not show progress for some time. If it is taking more than 10 to 15 minutes from that point you may have another problem.

Trouble burning DVD in Final Cut Pro X (stops at 66%)

I have been trying to burn a DVD on Final Cut Pro 10.1.4, but I find that it always stops the burning process at 66%. An error does not pop up; it just simply stops at the same place every time. I have tried burning different projects of different lengths, I have tried updating Final Cut, I've restarted the computer, and multiple other things that I've seen others have said worked for them, but every time it always stops at 66%. I have been able to burn about 6 or 7 DVDs successfully before this problem started happening, but now I can't get a single one to work.
I seen where some said that this was a common problem in Final Cut when FCP X will hand the job to Create Disc to actually start the burn process, but I don't know how to fix it.
I've tried so many different processes to make it work; could someone please help!

Thank you for the reply! I've been trying to burn each disk without an image for the menu, but I actually even seen where someone had said just to go into it and add a small picture for the background and then delete it and then hit share and that might get it to work. I've tried doing that multiple times, and it hasn't made a difference. It still stops at 66%. I didn't know if there was anything else I could try that might fix it.

Exporting an image from a video in final cut

Hey Everyone, I was wondering if there is a way of doing exporting a still image from a video in final cut.
Sometimes when I want to do this, I just take a printscreen of the video Full screened, but I know that's probably not the best quality.
Hope you can help me out, thanks in advance!

You need to get a life. The guy has been waiting for days for you to answer his question. You didn't bother, so I simply offered him some verification that he's not the only one that has seen the problem. If you knew how to read (maybe you should read it again) you'll see that I was not offering him a solution. Grow up David.

It's not that I "didn't bother" to answer the poor guy, I've been making a living. Been shooting video and timelapse in Hells Canyon, on the Snake River, where my company has a series of hydroelectric plants. Fabulous weather, great scenery, and a sphincter puckering jetboat ride down and then back up two sets of Class 4 rapids. I got my priorities. I would not have traded the photography or the ride for the effort required to answer anyone's questions.
Thanks again for your contribution to the thread and your more recent character evaluation and time management suggestions. I'll keep them in mind in the same way I will try to recall Jim's Range Check admonition.

How do I import directly from Canon XA10 with Final Cut X?

How do I import directly from Canon XA10 with Final Cut X?

I have an XA10, and importing is quite simple. But you do have to make sure your camera is set to the proper settings to allow you to import the files into FCPX.
First, make sure the camera is powered on. Connect it through the USB connection. Then open the camera's viewfinder and press the button on the side of the camera that allows you to see the videos you've shot in the viewfinder. (This toggle button toggles between seeing what the camera is pointed at live and seeing the thumbnails of the video you've already shot that are stored on the internal memory card.) Now, the camera will present you with a menu asking which memory card you want to look at (there's an internal flash memory card, plus you can insert SD cards as well). Choose the memory card on which your videos are stored within the camera, and then you'll be good to go.
Now you can go into your FCPX event and do the Import from Camera. Now the Import from Camera interface will open up and you'll be able to select the XA10, where it will present you with all the videos that are on the camera's memory card that you selected.
From here, you can select individual videos and import them, or you can set in and out points on videos and just import the parts you want.

Best way to export from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, working in DV?

I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5, and I would like to get the best quality from anything I bring in from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, I keep hearing use the Animation codec. I would like to hear from the Panel of experts.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Sebastian

The Best way is to round-trip from FCP. Or simply import the .motn file directly into FCP. If you require an alpha channel and for some reason don't want to bring the .motn file in, Animation with millions+ for the colors (+ is the alpha channel) will work, But if you just want straight DV, you should export a DV file.

How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x?

How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x? Sorry if this is a newbie question. I have been editing in final Cut express on my MacBook Pro and just jumped to a new iMac and Final Cut ProX. Trying to record my own voice on a Yeti mic and import it as narration for a video. Thought I could simply import media but X has it greyed out.

Sharing with iTunes is OK, but it is likely to produce a file in MP3 or AAC, which can cause problems. You can create an AIFF version of an MP3 file in iTunes and use that.
To create an AIFF version, go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General Tab. Click the Import Settings button. Choose Import Using: AIFF Encoder. Then choose your track, and click FILE/CREATE AIFF Version. Use this in FCPX. Be sure to go back into iTunes Preferences and set the import options back to where you had it, so the next time you rip an CD it does not make an AIFF.

When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message

When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message and the export quits. Any ideas on a fix?

Also, if I remember correctly, Final Cut Pro HD was version 4.5. Is this what you are running?
If so, what version of OSX and Quicktime are you running?

Right click one of yur clips in the event browser and choose Transcode Media. Make a test project and playthat clip. See whether that solves your lag.

I'm sure the pros will be along to ask what your settings are. Although this may not be exactly helpful, I did find compressor to be much more robust for burning DVDs. This could partially be because it includes a template to convert you movie into correct DVD format. I was quite pleased with the outcome after multiple failed attempts using FCPX alone.

Using mov files create from power point in Final Cut.

Hello, I am trying to import a mov file that I exported from power point into Final Cut pro. I'm using final cut 5 and power point 11.3.2 . When I try to import the mov file, final cut says file error: unknown file type. how can I get final vut to recognize this file or how can I convert it to a file that final cut will recognize???
thanks for your time
mike

If I am not mistaken, Power Point exports .wmv files. If this is the file type you have I would recommend purchasing Flip4Mac. It is not that expensive and it will provide .wmv support to QT.
