Inserting Live Clock in Final Cut Pro Video Project

Does anyone know how to insert a live clock in FCP? I am looking for something like inserting a game clock for a sporting event.
I don't know if this is possible at all, but if so....any tips?
Thanks

In FCP, how/where are you looking for it? It should show up two places:
Browser window - Effects tab->Video Generators->Too Much Too Soon->Clock
Viewer window, near the lower right corner you should see a button that looks like a frame of film with an 'A' in it. Click that to reveal the generators such as text, mattes color bars etc. The Too Much Too Soon group should show up there.

  • Export Final Cut Pro 7 project to open in FCP 6?

    Is there any way to open a final cut pro 7 project in final cut 6?
    We have a bunch of older Macs that won't run FCP7, but we use for training but our hope was to upgrade the newer machines to the new Final Cut Studio, but it would be great if we could create something on the newer machines, that we could transfer to the older ones.
    We tried XML export, but it didn't look like it included filters and such, so we are wondering if there is any other way?

    Nope. no other way.

  • How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library?

    How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library? I can't double click on folder, when I right click it just gives options to erase. Can someone help?

    I think you may have misunderstood - the question is regarding renaming a project "folder", not a project name.
    Still, the accepted answer here makes no sense to me at all - it's about renaming an event. So we're all confused ;-)
    BTW as of 10.0.5, I still cannot rename a project folder while background tasks are running - no clue is given that this is what's going on, second-clicking on the folder just (frustratingly) does nothing. When background tasks finish, it works again.

  • I am not able to share final cut pro x project to iTunes.  it continues to say waiting.

    I have not been successful in sharing a final cut Pro X project to itunes.  It says waiting.   I can cancel it, of which I have canceled about ten submissions now, but each time it says waiting.  What am I doing wrong here?

    I am not running a compressor.   I am running the 30 trial version of Final Cut Pro X.  I have created and finished a project.
    I am running a brand new iMac with the latest OS version.    First I a highlight the project to share.  I assume just by clicking on it.   click share - apple devices - then i select for which machine, (imac) i want it to render it for-select add to itunes- and click share.
    Then it opens up the share monitor shows the project in question and says waiting.  I can pause it, cancel it but I can not get it past waiting.  the time registry under the info selection says 0.00 minutes but still waiting..
    I am selecting the project correctly?   I have made only one project.

    Wow. Okay...
    I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
    My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

    To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
    4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
    I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

  • I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project.  Can Apple Motion 4 remove wires/rig?  Are there any rig removal plugins for final cut pro?   Thanks!

    I need to remove a rig/wires from my final cut pro 7 project.  Can Apple Motion 4 remove them?  If not can anyone recomment any plugins for Final Cut Pro or Motion that can remove them.  Thanks!!

    In Motion 5 there is a plugin from CoreMelt called "SliceX" that does this.  But I don't know anything in Motion 4 that will do it.  You may get more help posting in the appropriate "Final Cut Studio" section of this forum.

  • Can I capture and record live feed on "Final Cut Pro X"?

    I am an intern at my church and we are wanting to finish upgrading everything to mac at the church but we are needing a program that can capture live feed and later edit it so that I can create TV programs; hence, why I am needing to know can Final Cut Pro X capture live feed and record it? Along with that I need to know can I import avi. video files into Final Cut Pro X and it still allow me to edit them for our TV program? Thank you ahead of time for all of your help. Right now we are capturing in SD and I need to make sure it will also not be a problem capturing in SD and will make a smooth transition when we go to HD.

    See here:
    Re: import live video hvr v1e
    The above discusses HDV over firewire which is high def,  DV will be the same  deal.
    So it depends on what type of camera you are going to use.
    If you jump to an AVCHD USB cam the game changes.
    So far I'm not aware of a direct import method.
    There are workarounds with additional equipment at present.

  • Final Cut Pro- Video stops exporting at 33% in H.264 format to a USB.

    I have made a video using Final Cut Pro which is 51 minutes in length. Some of the clips were filmed using iPhones, whereas some of the clips were filmed using a Sony phone. The clips have all been placed together using Final Cut Pro and effects+music have been added. When I try to export the video to a USB in the format of H.264, it reaches 33% then just disappears from the background processes box. I have repeatedly tried to export the video to different places to see if the USB was the issue, but it keeps stopping at 33%. I looked at a forum which said some people had an issue whereby they found a clip which was dodgy and had to be deleted for the video to successfully export. I tried to delete the correct video clip to see if that worked, and the export then reached 37% but then stopped. The issue could be that the clips filmed on the Sony phone have to be deleted in order for the video to successfully export, however I would rather not delete all of the clips as they are an important part of the video. Also, the video must be able to play on a TV so I have some USBs which are 16GB as the video is 8.9GB. But is H.264 the correct format? Please help!

    That depends on the television set (s). There is no universal standard. Definitely check the TV manual (s).

  • What codec do I need to view a native Final Cut Pro video file in Quicktime

    Greetings all. My video editor provided me with a video file in the native Final Cut Pro format to save time as he could not convert to a .mov file. He said that he is able to open it in Quick Time Pro. I tried opening it in Quick Time Pro but I can just hear the audio. I am guessing it is a Codec issue as I my operating system is Vista (sorry!), and therefore I don't have Final Cut Pro installed. Any suggestions regarding what I need to do to be able to view the video in QT would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
    My ultimate objective is to open it in QT Pro and convert it to a QT Movie, so I can then convert it to Flash Video for online streaming.

    Ask the creator to send you an H.264 version of the file. The current file can't be viewed on a PC and there are no PC versions of the codec.

  • Final Cut Pro Video Import Crash Problems

    Whenever I try to import video files into Final Cut Pro X the program crashes. I've tried numerous formats and nothing is working. If it does pull the video in and lets me see it briefly prior to crashing, the footage appears shaky and with bright green lines running through it. It does not look like this if you play the clip outside of FCP. I've used FCP to make videos within the last year without this problem and have updated as well as uninstalled and re-installed the software to see if that would helped, but nothing has worked. I am stumped and my client is getting antsy for a finished product. Please advise.

    I've had the same problem on both my laptop and my desktop:
    Laptop specs: 13" MacBook Pro (2012) / 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 / 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 / Intel HD Graphics 4000  513 MB / 450 GB Free space
    Desktop specs: iMac (2009), Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.66 GHz / 296 GB Free space
    I'm feeling like a tech moron though as I am not sure about finding this information, "Frame size, frame rate, video codec, audio codec, sample rate."

  • Final Cut Pro Video Playback not in Widescreen for Anamorphic Material

    I have a Panasonic DVX-100B hooked up to my computer and am running Final Cut Pro. I shot everything in the anamorphic squeeze mode. When I play this material back through my camera (which displays the material as widescreen because I forced it on the camera menu) it doesn't playback on the TV in widescreen, it stretches it back out vertically. Is there a setting in Final Cut that will send the signal as a 16:9 signal to the TV, so that it will understand it correctly?

    No, FCP does not send out an anamorphic flag via firewire. What I mean is, it sends out the video to your deck simply as 720x480, without telling the deck (and therefore the monitor, as well) if that is supposed to be a 16:9 or 4:3 image. In order to monitor with the correct ratio, you'll need to have a monitor that can correct for aspect ratio.
    If you're working on a pro monitor, it should have a 16:9 button (or menu setting, at least). Some recent - as in the last 4-5 years - consumers TVs also have an anamorphic squeeze feature that will compress the image vertically. If you've got a 16:9 TV, you'll need to use the stretch feature (of all things) to correct your preview image.
    All that said, I'm guessing you fall into the last camp: you're previewing out to a consumer TV that cannot do vertical compression? If so, your only alternative is to nest your anamorphic sequence in a 4:3 one for preview purposes. Of course, this is needlessly cumbersome (and you run into the dreaded issues with nests failing to update every now-and-then) and requires more CPU horsepower. Either that or edit with the distorted image...
    Or are you in a whole 'nother situation?

  • YouTube videos for a Final Cut Pro X project

    I am working on a Final Cut Pro X (10.0.6) project made from YouTube videos (1080p HD). My project settings are:
    Video Properties: Format 1080p HD, Resolution 1920x1080, Rate 25p and Render Format Apple ProRes 422. I want to extract it and burn it to a DVD and then play this DVD in standard DVD Players or a video projector. Is this possible or the quallity is going to be poor ?
    Also in the Render Format is there a better option so to get a highest quallity video ?
    Thanks in Advance.

    The quality is not going to be great, coming from YouTube and then compressing to standard definition video. 422 will be perfectly adequate for the media. Raising it to 4444 or uncompressed isn't going to do anything for your video.
    Try making a disk image and see how it looks.

  • Final Cut Pro Videos

    I am using Final Cut Pro to edit my videos and the files are so big that after I export using QuckTime Conversison it takes forever to uplaod to YouTube. Does anyone know something I can do to upload videos faster?

    I do it exactly the way you do it. Export the video using "RealTime Conversion" . The videos must be less than 10min though. When you import to YouTube, it does seem to take a while per video though.
    Good luck !!

  • What is the song used as backing for the new Final Cut Pro video ad?

    Nothing to do with the application itself, BUT just stumbled across the new video ad that Apple have released for Final Cut Pro. Really, very impressive - check it out....!
    Question is: Can anyone tell me the name of the band / song Apple are using for the soundtrack of the video? Would love to order it up on iTunes.....
    Cheers!

    Thanks Brian, I was only half joking. I've been wondering how I'll get used to them in the edit suite.
    I've lost glasses when they were sitting on top of my head. I can't imagine trying to keep track of 3 pair. Fortunately my CRT/LCD vision is the same poor quality as my Drive In Screen vision so hopefully the bi's will let me read scripts while editing without getting a pounding headache.
    Enough of this old guy talk, we're going to start depressing people. (;

  • Sound loss when moving Final Cut Pro X project to Quicktime.

    This is a 33 minute football highlight film with music, live sound, radio calls, title screens and transitions.  The video is HD and transfers flawlessly, but the sound stops after 90 secomds amd never returns.  Not sure what I am doing wrong.  Have made 35 player highlight videos without an issue, but they are about 10-12 minutes long each.  So, I cut the video to 20 minites to trial a shorter version, and the sound cuts out at the same spot.
    The video pkays back perfectly in Final Cut Pro X.  Sent it to compressor directly, and aftr 17 hours, I got a "fail" message.
    Can someone help me?  This video is scheduled to be shown at a banquet on Friday night, and I can't show it if I can't get it to a bluray disc
    Thanks

    Last week I lost my audio shortly into the video.
    It disappeared around the point of the first transition.
    After deleting that transition and re-exporting the audio survived to what had been the second transition and so on.
    After deleting all the transitions the audio was perfect.
    I then put back the transitions and magically the video exported with no audio loss.
    At the time someone else seemed to have the same problem so it may be some bug or glitch.
    My solution was to delete all transitions and replace.
