ITunes in Final Cut Pro

I can buy songs on iTunes and put them into iMovie but cannot get them into Final Cut Pro. This is my hobby and the only reason I would buy a song is to put it into my personal videos. Apple said this can be done but would not tell me how to do it. Can anybody help? I have Studio Pro.

oh no.
let's not go down this road again. Look Apple allows you to do it in a consumer app because you clearly won't use that professionally.
The digital millennium copyright act prohibits me even telling you how to use a CD or iMovie to break the copyright protection.
Please don't ask here. A search would turn this up a DAILY question (sometimes MANY times a day) IF the thread didn't get yanked for legal reasons.

ITunes and Final Cut Pro 4.5

Everything was fine: OS 10.3.9. G5, Dual Processor. Final Cut Pro 4.5
Updated both iTunes and QuickTime. Trouble! Longer clips wouldn't capture, batch or any method.
So, I go back to QuickTime 6.5.2. That fixes the problem with capturing video clips.
But now, when I try to import my music library CD, I can't. I can do it through iTunes, import into Final Cut, but when I attempt to place it into the Timeline, it shows me 3 tracks...and the red line, as if they were needing to be rendered.
When I play, I get the "beep, beep, beep."
I am bringing them as AIFF files.
Any help?

You can use QuickTime to convert the CD's audio tracks (AIF, 44.1khz, 16 bit) into AIF, 48khz, 16 bit.
If you want to use iTunes for this, set the correct audio sampling rate (48khz) in iTunes' preferences.

Itunes and Final Cut Pro

I want to use a song I bought from the itunes Music store as a soundtrack for a movie I am cutting on Final Cut Pro. I normally convert the song to AIFF format and then import it into FCP. This does not work with purchased music as it is protected. Can anyone tell me how I get round this...please.

Afaik the only workaround is to burn protected music on
b Audio CD
and then re-import it in whatever format you want.

Help!!! Upgrading to iTunes 10.5 has destroyed all video in Final Cut Pro

After upgrading to iTunes 10.5 all of the video on my external hard drive was shot with a Canon XL-H1 and captured on a Focus Enhancements FS-CF. The files are HDV quicktime movies with the MPEG 2, Linear Timecode codec.
Movie files that are already imported into Final Cut Pro 7 appear as white screens and will not play. Final Cut crashes when I try to re-import them.
When I try to open them with Quicktime 7 I get a message saying "An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie." Quicktime X won't open them either. However, VLC plays them just fine.
I've looked in the codecs folder for Quicktime and the HDV codec is present for playback.
I'm experiencing the same issue on two systems: a brand new 27" iMac and a 17" MacBook Pro. Both are running Snow Leopard.
I was on the phone with Apple for over 4 hours. Ultimately they blamed my camera and hung up.
Dear God, someone please help!

I emailed Focus Enhancements, the manufacturers of the FS-CF flash drive I use to recorde footage from my camera. They're aware of the problem. Here's the email I received:
Currently, there is an issue with Final Cut Pro X, Mac OSX Lion 10.7, the latest version of the Quicktime player (7.7 or any 10.0version and up) and our Quicktime HDV files. We have been working with Apple ona fix for this issue, however, I do not know when the fix will be available.The only workaround we know of at this time is to record in the .m2t fileformat and convert the footage to .mov (Quicktime).
If you are not running Lion and you have Final Cut Pro 6or 7, you may be able to downgrade your Quicktime player so your files willwork. Some of our customers have had success with downgrading their Quicktimeplayer by following the steps listed here: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
If you cannot downgrade using Pacifist, you may need tocontact Apple for further assistance.
I tried the Pacifist route. It didn't work. And in my opinion, recording in .m2t and converting to .mov is a time consuming option, especially if you're on deadline. I'm going to dual boot my machines with Leopard and not upgrade iTunes.
iSkysoft's video converter is the only converter I've found so far that will convert my hdv files. But it pillarboxes the converted video and throws the audio 14 frames out of sync; issues that can be fixed in editing but then everything has to be re-rendered.
As far as Focus Enhancements working with Apple on a fix: don't hold your breath.

No refresh displaying iTunes song in Final Cut Pro X anymore?

Not sure what is going on, but when I display iTunes songs in Final Cut they do not refresh when changing from folder to folder. I dont see that problem with other Apps like Garageband, iLife Sound Effects or Final Cut Pro Sound Effects, only when trying to search for songs I know exists in any of my iTunes library folders or playlists.
Im sure it has to be a problem but uncertain when it started. For example, if I am looking at the content of "Impacts & Crashes" from Final Cut Pro Sound Effects, and then select to see any of y iTunes playlists/folders I still get displayed the previous "Impacts & Crashes" content from Final Cut. The only way I can see iTunes content is if I select the main iTunes parent, there I see my whole library. But again, I can't narrow down to any of my playlists or folders.
Was this funcionality removed or is it a bug? Am I the only one with this thing going on? How can I fix it?
Thanks for any help.

Ahh, figured it out - for you folks that notice the same error...
If you have iTunes in an external drive (like I do) probably the drive is sleeping. Wake it up (I doouble clicked my drive to access it). After that your iTunes lib might be accessed from Final Cut. Suppose this applies to anything else trying to import from an externally fed iTunes library.

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.

Why can't I purchase Final Cut Pro x with my iTunes card?

I bought 3 iTunes cards ( $100 each = $300 total) to buy Final Cut Pro and for some reason the system is not letting me buy it

Because it is $299.99, and there is tax.
Cheers,

Use the Mac App Store application and go to the purchased tab, which you'll find at the top of the Mac App Store window.

From iTunes Store to Final Cut Pro

How do open a song I downloaded from iTunes Store, into Final Cut Pro?
I tried Opening it, in Final Cut, and I tried importing it. But it comes out as silence. Final Cut knows how long the song is, but that is it.
Then can I edit the song in Final Cut?

You can't and shouldn't.
Your license doesn't permit it.

Itunes Store Won't Let Me Buy Final Cut Pro X

I am trying to buy Final Cut Pro X but every time I click on the Buy App button I get a pop-up saying that I need to contact Itunes Support, which is another story.
I wan't to begin to play with the software today prior to training but it looks as though that won't be the case. Does anyone have any thoughts on what the issue might be and how do I correct it?
George

There is no way to telephone the Itunes Store. You have to go by e-mail support. It may be an account problem but they should tell me that. I am waiting on a e-mail from them.

How to install Final Cut Pro on 2 computers with a multiple user license

Our church purchased a multiple user copy of Final Cut Pro, and the music minister who bought it downloaded it onto his computer. I need to get a copy onto my computer - but he doesn't know what I need to do to get a copy onto mine. Do I have to have him log into ITunes on my computer to download it - or is there just a file that downloaded onto his that I can get - or what? I have seen some discussion of their being certificates for using it that he should have received - but he doesn't remember if he has anything. Any assistance here would be appreciated - in the Final Cut Pro site it is very unclear. Thanks in advance.

I don't know what the procedure is to download it from Apple but you can speed things up by simply copying the FCP X app across to your computer using either a hard drive or memory stick.

Export through Final Cut Pro of .mov file results in non-viewable file...

Hello,
I recently worked on a film and had asked for a .mov version of the movie so I could get an uncompressed HD version in case I wished to use it for my demo reel (video for actors).
I was present when the director exported it and he exported it from Final Cut Pro (the latest version) and he exported it as a .mov file.
Well, I just tried opening the video and it does not work. In Quicktime, the error message:
"The movie "movie.mov" can't be opened.
You may need to install additional software to open this type of file.
I'm thinking it might be a codec issue.
Do you have any suggestions as to how the movie should be exported so that I avoid this type of error message?
I tried opening the file in iTunes and I got the audio, but the video was black. Another clue that it's a codec issue.
I just need a high quality (as uncompressed as possible) file that I can then add to an editing program and insert into my demo reel. I need the high definition format to be retained.
As for the frame-rate, etc. I'm not sure. It was done with high quality and expensive video equipment and didn't use tape. I know it was high definition and widescreen as well.

Nope, I don't have Final Cut Pro on my system.
I clicked on Get Info and nothing about the codec appears.
"Kind: QuickTime movie"
"Size: 1.99 GB on disc" (it is about 6 minutes long; that I remember)
"Title: movie.mov"
"Last Opened" is the next and last thing that appears.
I tried opening it using VLC and the movie just stops and starts throughout. It plays for just a second and then stops and I have to keep clicking the "Play" button to get it to keep playing.
Actually, just now I tried it again in VLC and it just kept stuttering.
From VLC, I chose Media Information and under Codec Details, the following appeared:
Stream 0:
Type: Video
Codec: MPEG-1/2 Video (xdvd)
Language: English
Resolution: 1920x1080
Frame rate: 23.976000
Stream 1:
Type: Audio
Codec: PCM S16 LE (sowt)
Language: English
Channels: Stereo
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Bits per sample: 16
Should I ask that the movie be re-exported using the ProRes codec???

Final cut Pro
All I see in my media browser is Itunes.
What happened to all the audioclips which are coming with fCP.
I use Mavericks and FCP 10.1

I just went to the Final Cut App and did a Command+I and noticed I'm not listed in the permisstions. Added myself with Read/Write privileges and then ran a repair permissions and all is good.
