Is my FCP 7 compatible with footage edited in FCP 10?

I have an iMac with FCP 7.  Someone has a project that is well advanced in FCP10.  Does anyone know how I could transfer the Project to my FCP 7 version?
Is FCP 10 the same as FCPX?  I've only heard horror stories about that version.  And I would prefer to convert to FCP 7 if possible.  Thank you very much for any knowledge you could share. 

Hi Ruth, 
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/Xto7/
there's a link on this page to the documentation for the program.  The documentation walks you thru the process and explains the limitations of the program.  Remember that fcpX will work with formats that are NOT suitable for editing in fcp7.  You may need to convert the material before working with it fcp7.

  • Java edition compatible with standard edition?

    Hi
    I have a database created using Java edition 3.2.44
    I want to write an application in C++ which reads this database using the standard Berkeley DB (possibly at the same time as the java application is also accessing them). Are the database files compatible?
    I'm not too hopeful since the the database files are named something like 00000000.jdb and je.lck.
    Any help appreciated

    Hi Nick,
    This FAQ entry addresses this question:
    [http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/je_faq.html#2|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/je_faq.html#2]
    (a small additional information to this entry is that DPL API has been introduced for BDB as well in 4.7.25)
    As explained, the on-disk format for the database files is different. You should dump the database created with JE (using the DbDump/com.sleepycat.je.util.DbDump utility: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbDump.html|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbDump.html]) and load it using BDB before opening it in a a program using one of the BDB APIs (using the db_load utility: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/utility/db_load.html|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/utility/db_load.html] )
    If you face any issues with dumping/loading the database let me know.

  • Is iWeb compatible with other editing packages eg NVU

    I'm thinking of volunteering as a webmaster for a club, having seen how easy iWeb makes it for an absolute beginner to produce a quality result: http://web.mac.com/p.bath.
    The only question I have is - when it's time for someone else to take on that role would they need a mac and iWeb or could the website be maintained using other software?
    The website will be hosted elsewhere, the link above is simply for demonstration purposes. I understand that I will have to use an ftp application to load the files if the project goes ahead.

    The only question I have is - when it's time for

    Yes. They would also need a copy of the Domain file from your computer that was used to create the site.

  • Can you synch audio with already edited footage?

    Hi there,
    I've been given a half edited project to finish off in Premier Pro, but the problem is there are quite a lot of pieces of footage that have not been synched up to their separate recorded sound! I am very new to Premier (was on FCP and Avid) but I am wondering if there is any way you can synch separate audio with already edited footage on the timeline? If not, it means I will pretty much have to scrap all the work that has been done and I REALLY don't want to do that because it's a lot!
    Any help is really appreciated!!
    I am using Premier 6.0.5 on a Mac Book Pro

    You can't.
    It's not that big a deal, you're going to get the same result applying compression (or any other effect) after the fact.

  • Is Mt. Lion (10.8) OS compatible with FCP 7 and other FCP Studio 3 apps?

    I am currently running Lion (10.7.5) on a 27" iMac 3.4 Ghz.
    Is Mt. Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 7 and FCS 3 studio apps like Compressor 3.5, Color and DVDSP4? Will these programs still run or will they be not supported by the new OS as has been the case with past apps when a new OS is introduced?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Greetings Phil;
    Glad to hear that the transition has gone well and that you're enjoying the new OS features!  I have FCP X on all of the machines in my edit bay, but at this point I work exclusively with Final Cut Studio. 
    When FCP X was launched, in it's initial form it simple didn't work with the my workflow and the amount of work that I have to deal with on a daily basis.  Also there was(for me a least) a BIG learning curve in order to make the transitiion.  It was time that I didn't have...and still don't!  Also I'm sort of an "old dog" in this game and learning the new system hasn't been a priority for me. 
    I would encourage you to move forward with it.  I know that Apple has made huge improvements in the software since it's initial release. 
    I wish you the best in you work...

  • Is nVidia GeForce4 compatible with FCP 5?

    Hi, I have a Quicksilver G4 (dual 1 Ghz) with a 64 Mb nVidia GeForce4. That's all the "About this Mac" tells me for the AGP slot. I'm not sure if it's a MX, and if so, whether it's the 420, 440, or 460.
    I am wondering whether it is compatible with either FCP 5, or FC Express. I'll be editing standard-definition video only. The Apple site only says that it must be compatible with "Quartz Extreme."
    If it is compatible, are there FCP processes which would benefit from upgrading it to an nVidia 6600 or 7800, or ATI Radeon 9800? I won't be doing any 3D gaming, only video-editing to the 23" LCD.
    Thanks for your kind advice!

    " FCP offloads out work for the graphics card to do (eg rendering etc)"
    This is completely incorrect
    FCP does not use GPU (graphics processor) acceleration, it uses CPU processing only
    Motion in comparison does use GPU acceleration:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/finalcutstudio/motion/
    The only way to get better performance from FCP is to use a better processor than the one you are using.
    I replaced the elementary OEM graphics card supplied with the G5 with an Nvidia 6800 card. There is no difference in any respect when using final cut pro between the two cards.
    It works great with motion however.

  • Are these cameras compatible with FCP?

    Does anyone out there know if any of these cameras is compatible with Final Cut Pro 5/6? It's not listed on the compatibility list, but I have a hard time believing Sony or Panasonic would make any camcorders that are not compatible with FCP these days. I just want to make sure however, before I buy.

    The qualifying devices list is not a good standard to judge by. There are many "devices" that work fine and aren't listed, and conversely, devices that are listed but may not function if the user is also using a certain third-party device; for example, certain listed Canons may indeed work well with FCS2, but attach an external drive to the same FireWire bus and it all goes fubar.

  • Video recorded in QT Pro-compatible with FCP?

    Is a video recorded in QT Pro compatible with FCP?
    I was getting errors earlier today importing QT video clips recorded in QT Pro.
    FCP said "unknown file type" and wouldn't import it.
    I tried different decks, different footage, all to no avail.
    Drag and drop, file>Import, neither worked.
    I never tried this before and was surprised.
    It's not that it needed rendering, it just wouldn't import.
    QT was set to use the native format of the recording device.
    FCP was set to DV NTSC easy set up.
    OS 10.4.7, QT 7.1.2, FCP 5.0.4.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Now this is strange.
    I just downloaded Live Capture Plus to try it out.
    It captures the same tape from the same deck with the same settings as I tried in QT.
    Imports perfectly into FCP 5.1.1 No problems whatsoever.
    Both clips have identical settings in the info pane of QT Pro:
    DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
    29.97
    640 x 480 pixels
    Yet the QT clip will not import into FCP with an "unknown file" error.
    Why?
    Thanks

    G5 dual 2 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    G5 dual 2 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The files open fine in QT player.
    640 X 480 was the QT captured frame size, 29.97 fps, and it was captured as "device native" in QT preferences. The source tapes where mini DV/NTSC so its frame size should be 720 X 480.
    If this frame size is the problem, why is QT pro recording a 640 X 480 image when the original is 720 X 480? Also, can't FCP handle a 640 X 480 QT video size anyway?
    I tried different tapes with different decks and kept coming up with the "file not recognized" error when trying to import into FCP.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Cameras compatible with FCP

    Hello everyone. I'm curious to find out if there is a list that apple or FCP puts out that has all the cameras that are compatible with FCP and if it stays current. About a month ago I was at the beach and my home video camera was left unattended, and was drowned by a huge wave. Luckily I didn't take my Sony FX1. (Which is what I originally was going to do) Anyhow, I'm going to go and buy my wife another camera in the $700.00 to $1,000 dollar range and I want to make sure that whatever camera I purchase I can download the footage in FCP 6. Thanks
    Erv

    Indeed.
    As a filthy Englishman, I do not celebrate this holiday.
    But all the best to you and yours anyway.

  • Do you have an Adobe Digital Editions which is compatible with Mac Os 10.6.8?

  • Help with multiclip editing in FCP

    Can someone please help me with multiclip editing. I have followed all the steps in the tutorials I have watched but I am unalble to switch between the two angles in the time line. Also the red line in the time line is telling me to render everything first . Is that normal or is it because I am using the 5.0 version of FCP?

    To switch between angles, the timeline should not be rendered. Once you render it, it may play more smoothly, but you can't switch.
    Also, sometimes you may have trouble switching many HD files, so it might work better to use Media Manager to make lower resolution proxies for your editing, then bringing the full-res files back for your final output. If the computer can't handle the load, it may refuse to do multiclip editing.
    Finally, you may need to switch Playhead Sync back to "Open" from time to time. For some reason, the Viewer sometimes switches to "Sync Off".
    By the way, your question actually belongs on the Final Cut Studio forum:

  • Is the latest version of FCP studio compatible with Radeon X1600 graphics..

    I read under the requirements that the latest version of FCP studio is not compatible with "integrated graphics cards"... what does that mean to me with an iMac that has a Radeon X1600 with 128MB and a bus type PCIe? Will it work?
    Thanks!

    Final Cut Studio 2 (with FCP 6) runs just fine on my 2.0 GHz 20" iMac CD, which has a 128 MB ATI Radeon X1600 with an external display (1280x1024) connected via DVI.

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?
