Losing picture quality when doing slideshows with Final Cut Pro

Whenever I put images in final cut and export them, the quality of the images look utter garbage. The pictures im taking are 2848X4288. Whatever Frame Size I make and whenver i Export them, the images doesnt look as sharp.
Could anyone suggest that I do something so I can keep the same quality of pictures?
thanks!

I'd size them down in Photoshop, to match your sequence settings aspect ratio, or a bit larger if you want to zoom in/out or pan/scan.
You can adjust them to 72dpi for use in SD video...not sure about HD.

    WHile I'm not 100% certain (this has come up before and It's not convenient to test), I believe that purchasing Compressor will also allow you add additional codecs to your QT library.

    Yes, Compressor adds several codecs, which can also be used in FCE (decoding and encoding using QuickTime Conversion) and in QuickTime player. Most notably these are MPEG-2 and ProRes. The latter is an editing-friendly Intraframe-Codec useful for preprocessing stuff for importing clips to FCE, particularly if it has a different framerate from the FCE project.
    I'm also still using FCE 3.5(*) and the "Export using Compressor" menu option remains grayed out, which is a pity, but the new codecs can still be used. I mostly use it to make stuff for DVDs, using my ancient and cumbersome iDVD.
    (*) It really works on Lion, provided you have installed it on a previous Mac OS release and then migrated or upgraded to Lion: the installer is a PowerPC program, but the installed program is Universal and works fine and very stable. If you already have Lion, and no older (Snow) Leopard machine, it's going to be more of a challenge, since the Lion kernel no longer supports PowerPC binaries, so Rosetta won't work.

  • Does Canon XF100 work well with Final Cut Pro

    Does the Canon XF 100 work well with Final Cut Pro 7.03

    I have read the information about this camera and I have looked at several discussion groups.  Apparently you cannot edit in native format with this camera. This has been confirmed to me by a Canon rep.  You have to bring in footage thru log and transfer which means it takes more time as it converts.  I have never had to do this before.  Because I have always imported thru log and capture.  So because I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if they are using the camera and if it works well inspite of it.  Or anyone has a better camera recommendation but in the price range of the XF100.
    Thanks,

  • HELP!  My sound is distorted when I export from Final Cut Pro 10.3

    How do I use Compressor 4.1 with Final Cut Pro 10.3?  My sound is all distorted when I download!  HELP!!!

    You mean 10.0.3, I suppose. This is a VERY old version and it does not work in Mavericks; Compressor 4.1 is a recent version and maybe there is some incompatibility.
    You should update to 10.1.1, but 10.1 introduced significant changes. Before updating, follow these excellent recommendations and tutorials from Steve Martin and Mark Spencer:

  • Your experince with final cut pro vs adobe premiere?

    I've posted this in other threads here: I've tried the Final Cut Pro X 30 day trial on my old Mac Pro 5,1 (heavily modified) and my new Mac Pro 6,1 (8-core, D700s).  I have a specific benchmark that I run on an NLE when I'm testing it: how long does it take to export one of my movies to a 720p h.264 MP4?
    If we assume the length of the movie is represented by 't' (for time) -
    The old Mac Pro and Final Cut Pro X 10.0: 2t
    The new Mac Pro and new Final Cut Pro X 10.1: 1/2t + epsilon
    The old Mac Pro and Premiere Pro CC: 1/2t + epsilon
    The new Mac Pro and Premiere Pro CC: 1/2t - epsilon
    The newer version of Final Cut Pro X is substantially faster at exporting my movie than the older version.  But Premiere is still faster than it is.  Also, Apple still can't get the whole "edit the source footage raw" bit right; my source footage is all spanned-clip AVCHD, with files that are over 4G a piece.  FCPX can't just open those raw, it insists on putting a MOV wrapper around the footage.  There's no transcoding happening, but the file I/O for those massive files slows the whole process down significantly.
    Because I don't have years of experience editing with NLEs, I'm not married to any particular UI.  FCPX's UI is ... strange, but I didn't find it too difficult to become used to it.  If it were faster and more efficient for what I do, I'd reconsider it.  But for now, it's all Premiere.

  • I have a Benq M22 HD cam. Is it compatible with Final Cut pro 7?

    I have a Benq M22 HD cam. Is it compatible with Final Cut pro 7?

    Hi Nick, thanks for your help, Im rather new at editing and FCP. I did everything as it said to do in the MPEG Streamclip download tutorial, but when it finished, I tried to open the .mov files and it was just sound but no picture, just black.
    Now, another thing, the .mov converted files where saved into mi SD card after the program was done (is that ok, or should they have been saved somewhere else too?)  then i tried to put them into my FCP by using the Log and Transfer and when I selected that it gave me this message: "100MEDIA" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    Help please!! I know that these problems are probably from my lack of knowledge on the program and the whole thing.. but im working on it!!
    Thanks!!

  • Is Mt. Lion compatible with Final Cut Pro 7?

    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? 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

    I have a 2gig HD for backing up my system HD . The backup HD is partitioned into 20 - 1 gig partitions. I use the Carbon Copy Cloner app to make a clone copy of the system HD. Never had a problem. If I need to I can boot from one of the clone partition or copy file from.
    (Just make sure your FPC media and video files are on a external HD (firewire for example) other than a USB 2 HD. FCP does't work properly with USB 2 drives.)

  • Error messages during editing with Final Cut Pro

    Hello,
    I am working with Final Cut Pro for the first time, editing my first indie movie project. The software normally works fine and when I started this project it ran fine for a while. But the software is now operating increasingly slow, to the point where it won't let me advance frame by frame. And I am getting several error icons popping up in the viewer window and the clip window to the right and I don't know what they mean. One of the icons is a little yellow triangle with a black exclamation point in the middle. Another is a little whi circle with a black letter x in the center. Another is a small green circle with a check in it. Does anyone know what any of this means? Could I be out of ram on the hardrive? I noticed that the changes occurred as soon as I did ctrl + z to undo an edit - it went haywire right after that. I would greatly appreciate any tips, thoughts, suggestions. Thank you.

    Slow performance can come from a number of different things. Without knowing more detailed information about your setup or workflow, it's difficult to accurately troubleshoot.
    -What kind of Mac are you using?
    -What is your source format?
    -Where is your source footage located?

  • Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X

    Does anyone have any experience using Pavtube Video Converter with Final Cut Pro X for Panasonic camcorder HDC-TM90 shooting in 1080 P 60 ( mts file extension)

    Don't use these generic offbrand converters to get footage into FCP X. they re-encode your video and cause loss of quality. If FCP X cannot import your video then use a utility that simply re-wraps it into a quicktime file with no transcoding or loss. I prefer Clipwrap which works great and is updated frequently but there are free alternatives like Media Converter or Rewrap.
    But version 10.04 of FCP X should import it directly from camera as long as the folder structure is complete and you are not trying to merely import it from single mts files.

  • How to replace audio on a music video with final cut pro x

    How do I replace low quality audio on a music video to a higher better quality audio with final cut pro x?
    I have the new audio on cd which I can rip and replace the original audio.
    Some audio and music videos are not of same length, In cases like this how do I sync video to the newly replaced audio?
    Is there any tutorial, link or where to look for this in the manual?
    Any help will be very much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Providing you don't need the video synced or cut to a beat, all you need to do is place your music in the primary storyline
    Connect your video above.
    While your video is connected, hit CMD+R on your keyboard and stretch the video to the length of the music
    If you were to cut the video to a beat, simply add markers on your music track, then connect and trim clips to your markers.

  • Buying a mac book pro to use with final cut pro

    does anyone have know what specifications I should be sure of before purchasing a laptop? I will be using it extensively with Final Cut Pro HD as well as many other programs
    thank you all as always...

    In addition to what Jerry and David said, if you have Final Cut Pro HD (4.5), you'll need to crossgrade to get the full benefits of your macbook pro.

  • Will Canon Vixia HF20 work with Final Cut Pro 5?

    Hello,
    Just bought a new Canon vixia HF20, and heard that it doesn't work with Final Cut Pro 5, only six. Is this true?
    Also? Whats the first step in importing from this camera if it does work?

    iMovie saves the footage inside its project file.
    Right click the icon, choose "Show Package Contents".
    Open the Contents folder -the footage is in the Media subfolder.
    Can you bring it into FCP?
    Dunno. Give it a try.
    If that does not work iMovie has various export options.
