Livetype files are pixelated in final cut pro

everytime i make livetype graphic it get pixelated or distorted in final cut pro 6.0.6 when i put it in the sequence it looks fine in the viewer. i have never had this issue before and have tried everything i can think of.

LiveType defaults to 720x486, in FCP, DV is 720x480. If you import the .ipr LiveType project directly, or render a movie out and bring that in, FCP will resize it to fit, resulting in a somewhat blurry movie. Double click on your LiveType clip in you Timeline, then in the viewer, check the Motion tab to ensure it's at 100%, and that any offset is an integer.

All my Nikon .xmp files are tagged as Final Cut Pro files!

Using Aperture, all the .xmp files are incorrectly tagged by Snow Leopard as FCP files. Because I run FCP on this machine too, I can't see how to change this to whatever files they should be tagged as (because my FCP project files will be change by that same action).
Any suggestions? TIA, KL

It shouldn't matter if the OS is misassociating those files. You aren't going to be opening them in an app by double-clicking them right? Are you having any actually problems in usage?
No, no problems in use—but I would like to know why this is happening. Before I installed Aperture, my .xmp files were not tagged with a particular program; they simply were the metadata files.
The problem is that when I access the NEF files that are associated with the metadata files (via Preview, for example), FCP opens with its latest project. I would prefer if the metadata files were recognised as just that, and not have FCP open in the background. Any suggestions? TIA

Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

Can files be exported from Final Cut Pro X trial?

It doesn't seem to work on mine, when I go to command: the export button is in grey, whereas all the others (import; customize) are black and can be actionned. Is this a restriction in the trial version or is there a way to activate export?
Thanks

I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects

I can't import any files or folders into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 projects. When I select import and then either files or folders, I am able to navigate to the drive where the media is being stored, but then when I scroll to locate the files or folders the drive disappears. This problem began as an intermittent problem, but now I cannot import any files or folders. This problem started when I upgraded my operating system to Yosemite version 10.10.2 on my mid-2010 Mac Pro running with 16 GB of memory and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. Can anyone help me figure out and solve this serious problem? Thanks!

Then just drag the files/folders from your hard drive into FCP. Don't use the IMPORT option...just drag and drop.
The problem started when you installed an OS that doesn't support FCP 7. So if you want things to work smoothly, it's best to go back to an OS that did support FCP 7. Yosemite was written without taking FCP 7 functionality in mind, so it isn't fully functional. It might not do one thing for someone...but works for you in that respect. But then you can't do something else. The ways it doesn't work is always random. Or it might work great for some people, because they don't use functions that might no longer work....so they don't notice it.

Self Contained Final Cut Pro Export Files unreadable in New Final Cut Pro 7

Has anyone come across this? I was using Final Cut Pro 5, created a self contained file of a current project 1.9GB in size. Uploaded the new version of Final Cut Pro 7 and upgraded to Snow Leopard, and now it tells me that this is unrecognizable as a movie file. Quicktime or Final Cut Will not open this file. I'm puzzled.

Hi VideoJunkie
I have not come across this. However, my previous FCP 6 Self-Contained Exported ProRes 422 standard (not HQ) files which are actually 1440 x 1080 will only playback in the new QT version 10 using that aspect ratio (whatever the actual screen ratio is at 1440 x 1080, I'm not sure, but the video width is squashed together... I suppose it has something to do with showing it in square pixels versus rectangle... or do I have that turned around. I'm not sure, I have always been confused about the ProRes 1440 x 1080 format, all I know is it plays back properly in 1920 x 1080 when I transcode it for DVD or ATV, iPhone etc..). In any case, you need QT player 7 (standard or pro version) to display these files at the intended aspect ratio of 1920 x 1080. The old QT Pro player version 7 will let you change this in the properties window, but the QT 7 standard player will not let you (those options are grayed out) and the new QT X player doesn't even show these options (i.e totally unavailable).
Also, these previous files will play just fine (for me anyway) in FCP version 7. If you having a different issue where they will not play at all, then I'm not sure how to help you, but I just wanted you to be aware that my old self-contained files from FCP 6 do work (for me anyway) in the new FCP7 under Snow Leopard.
(ADDED) I must ask, what codec were your previous exported self-contained QT movies? Do you have this codec on the commuter your trying to play your old master self-contained exports on?

Exporting .Mov files at 24fps for Final Cut Pro 5

I work at an animation production house and we're trying to export .mov files from QT 7.1.2 at 24fps so they won't have to be rendered in a FCP project which is a 720p project with a frame size of 1280x720, we're experimenting with two codecs. We're using Motion Jpeg A and Photo Jpeg, selecting 24fps but for some reason they import into FCP 5 at 10fps. It's as though QT isn't outputting accurate 24fps .mov files. When I export .mov files from FCP they import back into FCP without having to be rendered. What's the difference between the ones exported from QT vs. the .mov files exported from FCP. We're using the exact same settings and files....? The reason we need to use QT to do this is because it needs to be a somewhat automated process (lots of stills to work with) and our PA's are working on Windows with QT only.

You should post your inquiry at Final Cut Pro section for better support. Anyway, Final Cut Pro does not always recognize the frame rate correctly, depending on which application (and possibly which codec) you used to compress video. For example, Snapz Pro X and Adobe After Effects don't get along with Final Cut Pro in this respect. Furthermore, compressing video in H.264 will be a bad idea. So simply adjust the size of Canvas so that it won't cover the whole screen. In this way, you can even replay video on Canvas and even send it for final production.

How do I export Premier Pro CS6 files for use with Final Cut Pro?

In my cloud version of CS-6, I am trying to export or convert my finished work and take to my
co-editor that uses Final Cut Pro. In "export" on my PrP file, I have the option to export as FCP "with notes."
When I do that, and look at the notes, they basically say "Clip one did not export - Clip two did not..."
I saw a tutorial on the web where they had the option to convert the file in Encoder from PrP file to FCP, but
it is not an option on my Encoder in the cloud. When I try to encode the files as .mov, they are tiny, and don't
look good.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You can take the project file and the source files to FCP by exporting it as an FCP XML. Other than that you may have to export the whole project as a quicktime mov or any other editable your co-editors use.

Pixelation with Final Cut Pro HD

This question has probably been answered many times but overall in Final Cut Pro I've been having a problem with it and I just want a final explanation (FCP 4, FCP HD, FCP 5)
Whenever I add a title to my video, I do my basic render and play it back with cinema desktop preview, and it looks a bit pixelated. I can understand that my dv footage looks bad, but my titles look BAD when played back. I have everything at the highest settings. I can always SCRUB and frame by frame view my video at the high quality I would like but when I play it back it turns pixelated again. When I use a T.V. to view my external video, it looks fine, but it would be helpful if it looked good on the computer monitor.
Can somebody answer my stupid question?

First, you might want to view the footage in QuickTime Player. But be sure check your preferences so that "Use high quality video setting when available" is checked. If it is not pixeled in QuickTime Player with this setting enabled, your problem is with Final Cut playback settings.
If the footage is showing pixelization in both apps, you are probably experiencing artifacting, which is a natural effect of all digital compressed footage. You can minimize this by using the highest quality format available when editing. It is normal for footage to get pixelized in footage with alot of motion or fine detail. I'm assuming you're using DV format or HDV format. Both of these have this problem.
If you would like to try something that might help this, visit www.natress.com. Under the free plugins menu you'll find an experimental FCP plugin called G Low Pass which claims to limit the amount of detail in a scene when things get too busy. This reduces the likelyhood of artifacting when applied to DV footage and it seems to help in a very subtle way.
As for DVD playback having occasional large, blocky pixels, it could be a small scratch on the DVD surface, or perhaps a poor burn. But if the footage has the same problems in QuickTime Player, the DVD isn't to blame.

Software Updates Missing and File Not opening in Final Cut Pro

Hi Experts,
I am having trouble with Final Cut Pro. Here goes:-
I tried to load up a FCP file called "Overview" in Lesson One of the Apple Pro Training Series book called "Color". The file would not open and I got the following message alert in FCP:
"File's format is too new for this version of the application".
I am running FCP 6.0.1 and so went to check for software updates. I could not find any listed for FCP. I did a quick internet search to make sure and found there were indeed updates to 6.0.1.
So I guess I have 2 problems:
1. Why won't a file from a book that was published before I bought FCP work on my app?
2. Why can't I see updates for FCP in the Software Update application?
I am mega stuck with this. I have read of similar problems to mine on the internet but have found no solution. I hope that you will be able to help me out.
Thank you all,
Bob

Hi Nick!
Thanks for your reply. I feel kinda silly now but I have been continuously checking Software Update for 24hrs and I just got a new addition to the list which was called "Pro Applications Update 2008-05".
Seeing something new, I installed it and it upgraded my Final Cut Applications including FCP to version 6.0.5.
The file then opened.
I am truly sorry to have taken your time up. As when I posted last time Nick, you were very prompt and helpful.
All the best,
This problem is solved for me and I hope all the other people having this problem find this update as luckily as I just did.

Captions Are Disappearing in Final Cut Pro X

Here's my problem. I'm currently using Final Cut Pro X to put together a 40 min movie. This movie includes various video clips as well as still images. Naturally there is a need for many captions/subtitles. However, when I'm finished for the day and close everything out, the next day upon opening up Final Cut Pro X again, i've found that many of my captions have returned to the default view. For instance, my caption may have said, "Johnny enjoys a day at the park." But upon returning, it says "title." I'm spending countless hours perfecting these captions only to find that they have to be redone. This will be the third time having to do this. The crazy thing is, not all of them do this. What is the problem here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm finding myself having to leave my mac on 24/7 in order to keep this from happening, but even that is impossible to continue.

I'm having exactly the same problem with a ten minute movie.
Some captions revert to "title" and keep the formatting that I'd set. Some revert to the default font and size.
A very few of them are saved as I created them.
If I had the responsibility of saving my work as I go along, I could blame myself if changes weren't saved, but the program is supposed to be keeping track of every change I make.
Very frustrating.
Help please.

How do I convert .vob files to run in Final Cut Pro X?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to convert Video_TS files (.vob) to work on Final Cut Pro X. I've tried a free trial of a couple of third party file converters which manage to convert the files to .mov or .mp4, but then when I drag and drop them into Final Cut Pro X it gives no video or audio. Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks,
Josh

Did you do this from the MPEG Streamclip download page?
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion and Mountain Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion and Mountain Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion or Mountain Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b8 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component M. Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion or Mountain Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion and Mountain Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion and Mountain Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
Also read the information for Snow Leopard below.

How can I import my xdcam files (Sony PMW200) into final cut pro

Hi.
I just got a Sony PMW200 but cannot figure how to import files into Final Cut Pro 6. I copied the SXS cards to my hard drive and am trying to figure out how to import it into Final Cut.
I would really appreciate a little help.
Thank you very much in advance.
Brian

Hi:
If you own the material rights, you can use MPEG Streamclip to reencode to an editable format like DV.
Hope that helps !

What camcorders are compatible with final cut pro 7

There are so many cameras that use hard disks and flash memory and I don't want to buy one that is useless with final cut pro 7. What are some guidelines I can follow?

Yesterday I was driving home from work in the carpool lane, and a motorcycle was coming up behind me. So I did my usual pulling to the left to give the fellow ample room. But the car in front of me veered to the right as the motorcycle approached -- obviously to try and block him. I was quite peeved at the idiot driver, even though it had nothing to do with me.
In the same way, I am offended by the tone av3x is using.
I don't like how he/she is talking to you guys, with comments such as, "David, why not just answer the question?"
Hey av3x: The people on this board don't owe you any answers. They are not getting paid to read about your troubles. They have invested time with you already, and you should be respectful.
BTW, it sounds like the JVC HM100 might suit your needs.
