Is there a way to import Final Cut Express projects?

I use Final Cut Express, and currently working on a project.  Can I import FCE project to Final Cut X and complete it using FCX?

Thanks Tom.  Bad news

  • Importing Final Cut Express projects

    Hi,
    I cannot see how to importing my older Final Cut Express projects into Premiere Pro CS5. I know this can be done with Final Cut Pro via the XML format, but it seems that FCE does not export to XML. Does anybody know of alternative ways of exchanging data? Maybe, a file converter of any kind?
    Best regards,
    Paolo

    Yes, I have a couple of them, but they have their lives :-)
    I guess I can have their help, as soon as they can. In any case, being independant with this kind of things would be great.
    However, I guess that this conversion is to be done once, since I don't plan to downgrade to FCE again (unless Adobe stops developing Premiere for Mac again, or I end up with no money to buy the upgrades...)

  • Importing Final Cut Express project into FCP

    I have just updated frpm FCE to FCP and have a project that I would like to import from FCE to FCP. Can anyone tell me how to do this.
    I can't find instructions in the manual.
    Thanks
    Peter

    Just ctrl-click it and select "Open With...", then choose FCP.
    Beware, however, that you cannot open it in FCE once you've brought it in.

  • Is there a way to download Final Cut Pro 7?

    Is there a way to download Final Cut Pro 7 onto my imac if I have the serial # from a cd version?

    Unfortunately not. The current version of FCP X is 10.0.8 and available for purchase (and download) from the Mac App Store. As far as I know, none of the pro applications were ever available via download. If you have the serial number, have you tried using the install disks (or is it a PPC app problem?).

    Hi -
    Mr. Ross is right, there is no direct way to export your project with all it's elements into iMovie.
    If, on the other hand, you have a completed sequence in FCP that you want to export as a finished element, then import into iMovie for you to re-edit or apply titles, music, etc. you would:
    In FCP:
    Click on the Sequence Icon you want to export in your browser.
    Go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie. Give your movie a name a navigate to where you want it stored. Make sure you choose Settings: Current Settings and have the Make Movie Self Contained checked. Click Save.
    Close FCP and open iMovie.
    In iMovie:
    Go to the menu File > Import > Movies and navigate to the movie you just exported from FCP. Choose if you want your movie imported in it's original size, etc.
    Click Import. Your movie will be imported into iMovie.
    Note that using this method only gives you only the elements that made up your FCP sequence, so this may not give you the flexibility you need.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I export my video in 500x500 resolution? I know there's a feature in Final Cut Express that allows me to make custom dimensions when I export but I can't find the same in FCPX

    How do I export my video in 500x500 resolution? I know there's a feature in Final Cut Express that allows me to make custom dimensions when I export but I can't find the same in FCPX.

    Tom is right, BUT! ...the newest version of Compressor (41.) allows you to do just THAT! ...to export custom sizes.
    It's easy. And... once you set it up, you can export DIRECTLY from FCPX, provided you've saved / added this scheme as a "destination" in the FCPX app.

  • Saving and removing a Final Cut Express Project (Smartly)

    I have finished a Final Cut Express project and would like to save and remove it from my external hard drive. What is the smartest way to do this so that in the event I ever want to go back and make changes to it I can do it easily?
    Thanks for any advice you can give.

    First, I'd like to say that I'm a pack rat. I have a couple video projects on my drives that I've not edited for three years. I just hate the thought of messing them up or letting go of them (there's probably medication for that) so I just let them sit there taking up precious space. I need to reform and hope you can help me.
    Where does one find a list of the project files that a project requires? Also, is the media only the clips that appear in the "browser" window or are they the rendered files, as well. Maybe the rendered files are the project files?
    Are all the media files located in the "capture" folder?
    If I understand you correctly, if the reels were properly named, with no time code errors, I can trash the media (BUT, of course, keep the master DV tapes) and only archive the project files. If I want to re-edit the project in anyway in the future, I'll need to re-import the video from the DV tapes using this scenario.
    If I don't want to have to re-import the raw footage from tape, can I back-up all the files on multiple DVDs using toast?
    Lastly, what do you do when you're finished with a project?
    Thanks,
    Stuart

  • Burning Final Cut Express Project using Toast

    How do I burn a Final Cut Express project using Toast? When I export a quicktime movie, even when it is "Self-Contained" and burn it in toast I only get sound with no picture. When I export it as a .mov I am assuming that will work, but it is taking 3 hours to export a 45 min video. Is there any other way or is iDVD my only option?

    The OS version I am using 10.4.10 which should show on my profile. My computer is a PowerPC G5 Dual 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM. The version of FCE is HD 3.5 and the version of Quicktime I beleive is 7.2. When I export I use Quicktime movie. I tried it with the self contained box checked and without and both did the same thing. I only got sound. When I export using Quicktime Conversion that's what takes over 3 hours. What is the difference by the way? It plays fine in Quicktime player and works fine with iDVD. I have burned quicktime files and WMF before with toast and it has worked fine. It's only when I export them from Final Cut Express that it doesn't work. I have also exported from iMovie as a full quality dv and it has worked.

  • HT5103 How can I open Final Cut Express project in Final Cut Pro X?

    How can I open Final Cut Express project in Final Cut Pro X?

    If you export the project from FCE you can import the QuickTime into FCP. You can do limited work to it like adding titles.

  • Starting a Final Cut Express project

    When I try to open a Final Cut Express project by double clicking on the logo of the project the operation fails and I get a notice: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -10660)". I can only open the project by clicking the alias of the application itself and open the project from within the application, which is much less convenient (sometimes another Final Cut Express project is first downloaded, which may take a lot of time).

    It is good practice to save & close your project(s) before you exit FCE, especially if you are working on more than one project.
    When you double click on your project file to open FCE, you are commanding FCE to start up & open the project you just double clicked - but since you didn't close your previous project, when FCE starts up it also attempts to open the previous project(s) at the same time ... and there is lots of potential for conflicts.

  • Can I open my final cut express projects in final cut pro X?

    I need to get footage out of some of my final cut express projects and put them in final cut pro X, which I am now using. How do I do that?

    You can export any movie from FCE to Quicktime, and use it in FCP X. If you export using ProRes 422 codec it will already optimized for FCP X.
    What you can't do is use the FCE projects themselves in FCP X.

  • Will 7toX translate Final Cut Express projects to FCP X

    Does anyone know if the new 7toX application will translate Final Cut Express projects to Final Cut Pro X?

    So can you open a Final Cut Express project with Final Cut Pro 7, save that as XML, and then use 7toX?
    . . . I realize, of course, this won't help anybody who doesn't have FCP 7.

  • Is there any way to get Final Cut Studio?

    I was just wondering...

    Will Premiere CS6 import from FCE 4.0 project files?  Nothing fancy, just Browser folders of clips.
    Nope. It will from Final Cut Pro XML files, but the ability to export XML files is/was not present in Final Cut Express.

  • Import Final Cut Pro Project?

    Hi there,
    I work in Final Cut Pro and need to hand off a project to a colleague who only has and works with Final Cut Express. Will it be possible for him to import my FCP file and edit it in Final Cut Express? Any creative workarounds? If not, I will need to buy FCE and just do the whole project that way (though would rather not).
    Thanks!

    Almost no FCP project will open in FCE, certainly no v7 project. Version numbers are very important here. Depending on the content you might be able to do an XML v4 export of a sequence, and a sequence only, and import that into the current version of FCE. You cannot XML an entire project, and whether it will work is entirely dependent on the sequence specifications and content.

  • Importing Final Cut Pro Projects

    I know this might be a very silly question but -- when watching the tutorial for DVD Studio pro5, they imported a Motion Project that had not been rendered, it in turn got rendered when burning it to DVD. Is this possible with Final Cut Pro Projects?? Can I take a project or sequence and import it into DVD Studio without rendering or exporting it??
    In other words can DVD Studio use the Final Cut Pro Project just as a reference as it does with Motion or does it need to be one file??
    Anyone out there who can help me please?? Thank-you

    You cannot import FCP project. Just mov files, or m2v files. I believe only Motion works as you said.
